| duanedesign | also ~/.xsession-errors. For the record, this file usually | 02:49 |
| duanedesign | receives stderr from X programs which run in the background, so it is | 02:49 |
| duanedesign | a valuable diagnostic tool if something goes wrong. | 02:49 |
| === harrisonk is now known as harrisonk_zzz | ||
| stlsaint | duanedesign: nice...i never looked at it this way :D | 02:50 |
| duanedesign | stlsaint: usually people don'tnotice it until a buggy program fills the log up with a couple GB of information | 02:51 |
| duanedesign | that bug might be fixed now. But their was a bug at on point were that file would not get rotated and get huge | 02:52 |
| stlsaint | i c | 02:53 |

| zkriesse | heyllo haywire_ | 03:44 |
| haywire_ | zkriesse, yeah, man...whazzup? | 03:44 |
| zkriesse | haywire_: Just welcoming you to the channel/saying hi/wazzup | 03:45 |
| zkriesse | and the same to you tieinv | 03:45 |
| haywire_ | zkriesse, cool...i'm just lurkin... not having any problems tonite... heh heh... xubuntu behaving itself... | 03:45 |
| zkriesse | haywire_: Very good | 03:45 |
| haywire_ | I even solved my firewire problem earlier tonite with help from the forums... now controls my Sony DV cam... I'm crackin' each linux hurdle one at a time... | 03:47 |
| stlsaint | haywire_: i prefer the bundle method...break a bunch of stuff then fix them in budles :D | 03:47 |
| stlsaint | (that gets you alot of FAILS though) LOL | 03:47 |
| haywire_ | yeah... sounds like a tangled bundle of a/v cables ...hardy harr... | 03:48 |
| haywire_ | The things I just can't overcome are 3 hardware incompatibilities I have run into... | 03:49 |
| phillw | haywire_: on the plus side, you're learning loads - so do please post answers for thos following you :-) | 03:51 |
| stlsaint | +1 | 03:51 |
| aveilleux | ++ | 03:51 |
| haywire_ | phillw, I have one PIII with an incompatible VGA card...screwy graphics on all linux distros I've tried... | 03:52 |
| haywire_ | Next prob. is incompatibility to do network printing to an HP all-in-one printer I have served up on a win' machine... that feature is not supported on my model... | 03:54 |
| haywire_ | Finally, I would love to use the magic jack phone line interface natively in linux.... I wish they would "get off the pot" and fullfill their plans to support linux in 2010 like they say... | 03:55 |
| phillw | haywire_: google-fu is your friend, if you're running a PIII, then you may want have a look at lubuntu / xubuntu, they are pretty decent at older kit. (I use lubuntu, but xubuntu has been around a lot longer) | 03:56 |
| haywire_ | Now the GOOD NEWS: I am dual bootin' XP and Xubuntu 9.10 on this machine (a P4 1.7Ghz, 512 ram) running a 32" LCD monitor with its Native resolution of 1360x768 that looks better than windoze is capable of... | 03:59 |
| haywire_ | Also running dual drives... and starting to learn my way around linux CLI - I'm an old dos user, and have to "unlearn" most of that to make sense of linux...I am AMAZED already and in awe of the power of the linux command line... | 04:00 |
| phillw | haywire_: just be in awe of it, as you do not "are you sure <y/n>" with cli on linux | 04:03 |
| phillw | *do not get* | 04:03 |
| Appl6 | phillw does not use aptitude (or uses -y). | 04:03 |
| phillw | Appl6: phillw runs development releases, backups are really, really important :p | 04:04 |
| haywire_ | phillw, I can appreciate the fact that linux doesn't nag you to death with all of the "are you sure, really, really sure?" crap.. If i tell the os to do something, I'm pretty sure I want it to do it... .heh heh.. | 04:04 |
| Appl6 | [y/n] is nice for dangerous operations. And most utilities that do dangerous things give you [y/n]. | 04:04 |
| haywire_ | Oh I have had some pretty good disasters with my aforementioned philosophy.... ;-) | 04:05 |
| phillw | haywire_: and Appl6 do take the time to read http://ubuntuforums.org/announcement.php?f=326 | 04:06 |
| phillw | If in doubt, do check. There are some times you need root privalidges, but they should be exceptions as opposed to the rule. Always double check :-) | 04:08 |
| Appl6 | phillw: What? I didn't give any commands. Unless you were telling me that "aptitude -y" is a dangerous command? | 04:08 |
| phillw | aptitude requires a sudo before it to work, that grants temporary root privalideges | 04:09 |
| phillw | where ever possible, use Synaptics Package Mananger and Update Manager | 04:10 |
| haywire_ | Yep..point taken, especially for a newbie like myself... all that power can really get you in trouble if you "aim for an oak tree".... | 04:11 |
| haywire_ | phillw, Thanks for the tip. I think my favorite feature in linux just may be the tab-auto complete... I don't remember anything that useful in Dos... | 04:13 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: ping | 04:13 |
| duanedesign | poke | 04:13 |
| * phillw is and apt person, not aptitude. The differences for apt can be found at the bottom of http://forum.phillw.net/viewforum.php?f=4 (the guys helped write them) | 04:13 | |
| duanedesign | yeah. I use apt first, and then aptitude if apt doesn't work | 04:14 |
| phillw | http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=57 apllies to the ubuntu forum area also. Linux give you complete control - mess it up & you kill it | 04:15 |
| duanedesign | stlsaint: hello | 04:15 |
| phillw | duanedesign: it's still wierd when apt will do a job where aptitude can not & vice - versa... be much easier if they settled the differences and we had just one :p | 04:16 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: how can i get dcc messages in irssi? do i need to load a script | 04:17 |
| haywire_ | getting late - cy'all | 04:19 |
| stlsaint | nhandler_: ping | 04:39 |
| stlsaint | aw shucks hes gone | 04:39 |

| sabqat9 | can't get my laptop with ubuntu 10.04 to recognize or use my internet connection (this is a new problem) (i have been using the system normally for about two months with no problems) | 14:23 |
| sabqat9 | is this an appropriate place to ask questions like this? | 14:23 |
| stlsaint | sabqat9: sure | 14:50 |
| stlsaint | sabqat9: does your system pick up and wireless broadcast? | 14:50 |
| sabqat9 | sorry for the long delay - i didn't think anyone was listening - are you still there? | 15:11 |
| sabqat9 | before i went and fooled around with too much - i went and did a restart (several times) - finally after about the fourth restart - ubuntu is working properly again | 15:12 |
