=== kancerman_ is now known as kancerman [05:33] my login sound doesn't work un xubuntu 10.4 [05:33] not sure why [09:45] guys, I installed xubuntu 10.4 at home, and lan worked fine after install, then I gave the laptop to my sister, who tried it at her home, and the lan didnt work anymore. any ideas how that can be [09:46] peter___: is there a profile being used in the networkmanager with a diff nameserver ip? [09:48] could be, im new to xubuntu so i dont know the commands to check that.. I did reboot with lan connected and try to delete the config files for it in my home folder [09:49] I do know they are using a mac filter, but that should not affect lan right? [09:49] the metworkmanager should have an icon near the top right corner [09:50] *networkmanager [09:50] yeah, there was an auto connect option there [09:54] but this is a normal issue? because its not for an advanced user so if she needs to setup lan everytime she goes to another location xubuntu is not an option i guess [09:56] make a profile called sister and one called me or something [09:57] yeah but i understand lan is not Plug and play in xubuntu? so she needs to do the config everytime she goes to another location [09:58] networkmanager is not something I know that much about - maybe someone will have some clues... [09:59] ok, thanks for the help anyway :) do u know the command to check mac adress for wireless? [10:01] it should show in ifconfig [10:01] ty [10:01] luck :] [13:28] what window manager is being used in ubuntu? (i know the desktop manager is gnome) [13:28] metacity/compiz (wrong channel) [13:32] yeah sorry [13:32] thanks though [16:28] hi [16:54] hey, it seems like my ctrl and alt keys are switched head-to-head when using vbox 3.2 in xubuntu 10.04. any ideas why? [18:33] hey guys anyone know how to set up shared printing in Jaunty ? [18:33] I have 1 printer connected via usb to my computer and need it shared to another ubuntu box and a xp box [18:36] AnomOly: do you have CUPS installed? Use your browser and enter http://localhost:631 to find out; if it's present you'll get a web page that's the CUPS control. If not you'll get a 404 message. [18:49] hello [18:49] does smb know how to download videos to mp3 from youtube ? :) [19:06] that's not really ubuntu related... there's a handful of websites that provide such services for free [19:08] Arpad2: there's youtube-dl - package is in universe. [19:09] didn't know that === gnomefreak76 is now known as gnomefreak [19:14] i'm using DownloadHelper addon in firefox [19:15] jcfp: thx, after youtube-dl update it work fine again, google is trying to breake all downloads..., [19:16] Sysi: i just use a commandline in the terminal:) [19:17] andyn: i agree this was little off-topic, but thx folks!:) [19:23] how can i find best possible driver for my monitor? [19:23] monitor? :D what graphics card do you have? [19:24] intel graphics [19:24] so its built in the motherboard [19:24] i guess [19:25] in win7 i can use the old CRT at 85Hz, while in xubuntu only at 75 [19:27] although I can choose 85Hz as well, but if I do so the output is only a black screen :'( [19:28] new kernel from PPA *could* help [19:28] if you want extreme, xorg-beta-random-something-PPA [19:29] but do you think that this lower refresh rate is due to the installed driver? [19:30] (luckily) i haven't played with CRTs [19:31] ok [19:31] i will seek for help from #xfce as well :) [19:32] If it is intel, the driver is built into the kernel. You might be able to do something using /etc/X11/xorg.conf though [19:33] ok [19:33] i look into that [19:33] Is there really much difference in images at 75 vs 85? [19:34] theoretically its better for my eyes :D [19:34] but, realistically, can you tell any difference? [19:34] charlie-tca, on CRT's, probably [19:34] I mean, I know 60 hurts my eyes, but 75 is okay [19:35] 75 is not okay if you look at it whole day [19:35] charlie-tca, i'd say that is possible if you keep on looking at the monitor for long times, but maybe not visually [19:35] If I can get them up to 70, I am usually fine, 75 works better. [19:35] so its worth to seek for 85 ?:) [19:36] Arpad2: if you valu your eyes [19:36] value [19:36] Depends on how long you are in front of the monitor, too [19:36] ok [19:36] 60 works with my LCD's, or then there is something wrong with the way the configuration dialog shows the rate [19:36] I once had a second hand professional monitor, it could go up to 160Hz in text mode, it was extra sharp [19:36] thats meen i have to do some digging.. [19:37] knome: lcds work completely differently and this means something else for them === Guest32863 is now known as crazygir [19:37] TheSheep, probably. there was no expression the discussion was only about CRT's, thgouh :) [19:37] *though [19:38] yeah, if it's an lcd then any refresh rate works [19:38] you may get blurry animations for slow reactions, though [19:38] but it doesn't hurt eyes as much as flickering [20:08] compared to LCD, CRT always hurts eyes [20:10] * charlie-tca thinks that is a true statement [20:20] whats the file manager from terminal [20:20] ? [20:21] err? [20:22] so i dint have graphical desktop [20:22] dont [20:22] cd, cp, ls, mv, etc. [20:22] there is a program once smb showed me and i used it [20:23] forgot the name [20:23] gnome-commander? midnight-commander? ?? [20:23] sth like that :) [20:23] smbc?? [20:23] subcommander?? [20:23] tuxcmd?? [20:23] like total-commander [20:23] looked similar [20:23] I guess you have to pick names and try them. We don't know what you have installed [20:24] i can istall any of them with sudo apt-get ? [20:25] all that are in repositories [20:25] yup. To install midnight-commander, the file is mc [20:25] ok [20:25] ill try mc than:) [20:25] than you! [20:27] ok [20:27] mc worked [20:27] without install [20:27] now [20:27] That must have been it, then [20:27] yes [20:27] :) [20:28] now how can i edit lines in a program [20:28] ? [20:28] from tzermoinal [20:28] i have to fix the refresh rate [20:28] !enter | Arpad2 [20:28] nano is simple text editor [20:28] Arpad2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:28] If it is in home, you can use "nano file-name" [20:28] nano [20:28] thats it! [20:28] :) [20:29] manpages and apropos are handy [20:29] * charlie-tca can never remember apropos [20:29] apropos apropos [20:29] * charlie-tca thinks his brain is too old [20:30] knome: that only works when you can remember the word itself [20:30] ;) [20:31] i can't brain today, i has the dumb [20:34] how to restart from terminal? [20:40] thank you for helping me through the terminal stage:) [20:44] sudo reboot ? [20:45] You are welcome [20:45] ok its over [20:45] im on graphical now === Evixion` is now known as Evixion [21:57] n8 [22:23] Hey, just wondering how I'd go about changing the icon of a single file?
