| harrisonk | is there anyone here that is good at python programming? | 02:19 |
| pedro3005 | harrisonk, define good | 02:19 |
| pedro3005 | :) | 02:19 |
| harrisonk | is expereanced, has done a few programs | 02:20 |
| pedro3005 | harrisonk, depending on your problem, I might be able to help. what is your question? | 02:20 |
| harrisonk | one moment | 02:20 |
| harrisonk | https://launchpad.net/climm | 02:21 |
| harrisonk | it is my take on a simple money manager | 02:21 |
| pedro3005 | I see | 02:22 |
| harrisonk | I know what I want I just don't know how to get it into a working program | 02:23 |
| pedro3005 | is there an exact problem? | 02:23 |
| harrisonk | check the blueprints, I can't save to a file yet and I don't have an input checker | 02:24 |
| harrisonk | I need to add a transaxtion manager to keep track of all the operations. | 02:26 |
| pedro3005 | harrisonk, how much python do you know? maybe you should learn some more before trying to code a complete program | 02:29 |
| harrisonk | not as much as I should going into this but I know the basics like print 'hello world' and variables. | 02:33 |
| harrisonk | and a few other things | 02:33 |
| zkriesse | wazzup ya'll | 02:34 |
| harrisonk | python | 02:34 |
| zkriesse | ah | 02:35 |
| zkriesse | so how's everyone? | 02:35 |
| harrisonk | zkriesse: this: https://launchpad.net/climm | 02:35 |
| pedro3005 | harrisonk, definitely learn more | 02:35 |
| harrisonk | thought so | 02:35 |
| zkriesse | what's this? | 02:35 |
| harrisonk | it is my take on a simple money manager | 02:35 |
| zkriesse | ah | 02:36 |
| harrisonk | needs a lot of work! | 02:36 |
| pedro3005 | harrisonk, we have set up a dev academy python class. it happens weekly, saturdays at 17:00 UTC. we just had our first lesson today | 02:36 |
| harrisonk | 17:00 UTC what is that in easteren time US+Canada | 02:37 |

| stlsaint | pedro3005: and dont you dare point me to zeuler or however you spell it >:P | 02:41 |
| harrisonk | What is the -!- mode/#ubuntu-beginners [+v zkriesse] by ChanServ about? | 02:41 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: that is chanserv giving zkriesse voice to the room | 02:41 |
| harrisonk | or what does the +v mean? | 02:41 |
| pedro3005 | voice | 02:41 |
| pedro3005 | stlsaint, Project Euler ftw | 02:41 |
| harrisonk | okay what are some others | 02:41 |
| stlsaint | pedro3005: a day in the distant future maybe | 02:42 |
| pedro3005 | harrisonk, http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/rfc/chapter4.html#c4_2_3 | 02:42 |
| harrisonk | thanks | 02:42 |
| pedro3005 | stlsaint, persistence! | 02:42 |
| stlsaint | pedro3005: lately ive just been working with the different ways to start working with methods for int and strings | 02:42 |
| stlsaint | pedro3005: plan on getting really familiar with slices and all its different uses | 02:43 |
| pedro3005 | stlsaint, that's cool. try this: some_string[::-1] | 02:43 |
| stlsaint | pedro3005: isnt that going to output the last letter of the string or since its two :: will that flip to the first letter of the string? | 02:44 |
| pedro3005 | stlsaint, try. it. | 02:44 |
| pedro3005 | :P | 02:44 |
| stlsaint | i remember seeing that some time ago | 02:44 |
| harrisonk | pedro3005: how do I get to these python meating? | 02:45 |
| pedro3005 | harrisonk, just be at #ubuntu-classroom when it's time | 02:45 |
| harrisonk | where can I get a list of the classes on #ubuntu-classroom? | 02:47 |
| stlsaint | pedro3005: hehe, aye i knew i had seen that before ;P | 02:47 |
| stlsaint | pedro3005: sorted(var, reverse=True) | 02:48 |
| stlsaint | pedro3005: mine is "prettier" :D | 02:48 |
| pedro3005 | harrisonk, http://is.gd/8rtIi | 02:49 |
| pedro3005 | stlsaint, that returns a list | 02:49 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom | 02:49 |
| pedro3005 | stlsaint, challenge: make it a string | 02:50 |
| pedro3005 | :P | 02:50 |
| stlsaint | make what a string? | 02:50 |
| pedro3005 | stlsaint, the returned value of your sorted function | 02:51 |
| stlsaint | pedro3005: that would just be what you did with ::-1 | 02:52 |
| pedro3005 | stlsaint, indeed. but if you have a list. how do you make it a string? | 02:53 |
| stlsaint | pedro3005: aye, one sec, i know i wil have to use .join | 02:54 |
| pedro3005 | stlsaint, good | 02:55 |
| stlsaint | pedro3005: aye, got it | 02:56 |
| zkriesse | Bonjour theXpert | 02:56 |
| stlsaint | pedro3005: so my var (a) is assinged to chicken | 02:56 |
| stlsaint | a='chicken' | 02:56 |
| zkriesse | Hey guys this should be in -dev should it not? | 02:56 |
| stlsaint | then i use sort with reverse to flip the string | 02:56 |
| stlsaint | zkriesse: aye you are correct senor | 02:57 |
| stlsaint | zkriesse: good call | 02:57 |
| harrisonk | hello Haywire_ | 03:03 |
| Haywire_ | harrisonk, Hey, what's up...kinda quiet, eh? | 03:04 |
| harrisonk | you just mised the rush-hour | 03:05 |
| stlsaint | Haywire_: yo | 03:05 |
| harrisonk | or half hour | 03:05 |
| stlsaint | i was in here till zkriesse kicked me out | 03:05 |
| Haywire_ | my stuff's all behaving...for now....just lurking.. | 03:05 |
| stlsaint | Haywire_: cool | 03:06 |
| Haywire_ | I might actually be getting the hang of this linux stuff...;-) - Got mine triple booting Xubuntu, Puppy, and Win XP ... | 03:07 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: a command line interface money manager?? | 03:07 |
| harrisonk | stlsaint: yes that is what it is called | 03:08 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: hrm, you may want to get your claws into pygtk and throw a front-end on that application of yours | 03:08 |
| harrisonk | I plan to build something like a backend for any program to put a frontend on | 03:09 |
| harrisonk | or rather programer | 03:09 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: oh ok | 03:10 |
| zkriesse | lol | 03:10 |
| zkriesse | ok gotta go eat dinner | 03:10 |
| stlsaint | thats cool, can be a double edge sword though, what if a non-programmer just wants to use the program without having to write a frontend? o_O | 03:10 |
| harrisonk | that way people can focus on the looks and not the backend when building a money manager | 03:10 |
| harrisonk | stlsaint: that is a good point but someone can take this backend and put there frontend on it and the non-programer can use that program. | 03:12 |
| harrisonk | *their | 03:12 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: well that depends on someone else taking the time to make the frontend | 03:14 |
| harrisonk | well that would come after the backend GTKMM would then start | 03:15 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: what language are you going to use? | 03:15 |
| harrisonk | Programming or say english or french? | 03:15 |
| stlsaint | programming | 03:16 |
| harrisonk | python, would there be a better one? | 03:16 |
| stlsaint | well any language could be a better one depending on what your wanting to do but for this project i would say either python or ruby | 03:16 |
| stlsaint | naw, screw ruby, go with python | 03:16 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: how long you been studying python? | 03:17 |
| harrisonk | I don't exacly know. | 03:17 |
| stlsaint | hrm, months..years? | 03:17 |
| stlsaint | weeks? | 03:17 |
| harrisonk | less than 1 year but getting close | 03:18 |
| harrisonk | off and on | 03:18 |
| stlsaint | oh ok, we have a -dev channel if you ever need help with something | 03:18 |
| harrisonk | trying to find a tutorial that doesn't go from hello world to gobily gook | 03:19 |
| harrisonk | -dev being #ubuntu-beginners-dev? | 03:19 |
| stlsaint | yep | 03:19 |
| harrisonk | moving away from python are you good at file system recovery? | 03:21 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: aside from formatting....nope | 03:21 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: puppy :D | 03:21 |
| harrisonk | puppy? | 03:22 |
| harrisonk | Puppy Linux? | 03:22 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: puppy linux, Haywire_ said they were using it | 03:22 |
| stlsaint | aye | 03:22 |
| harrisonk | you have me confused, what does puppy have to do with FS recovery or python? | 03:24 |
| stlsaint | nvm, i just scrolled up to a comment he made earlier | 03:24 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: have you checked repos? | 03:25 |
| harrisonk | fiar enough | 03:25 |
| harrisonk | *fair | 03:25 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: really what do you mean file system recovery.... | 03:25 |
| harrisonk | one moment | 03:25 |
| harrisonk | here is the error: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/496223/ | 03:29 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: hrm, have you been tampering with fstab? | 03:30 |
| harrisonk | no | 03:32 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: what filesystem is on /dev/sda5? | 03:32 |
| harrisonk | ext4 | 03:32 |
| harrisonk | my root directory | 03:32 |
| harrisonk | (/) | 03:32 |
| aveilleux | why is / on sda5.... | 03:33 |
| harrisonk | I have no idea. | 03:33 |
| stlsaint | ?? | 03:33 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: im going to need two things from you | 03:34 |
| stlsaint | 1. Put the output of command: sudo fdisk -l #into pastebin | 03:35 |
| harrisonk | okay will do | 03:35 |
| stlsaint | 2.Also put the contents of your /etc/fstab #file into pastebin as well | 03:35 |
| harrisonk | I am running a live cd on the sick system so it may take a while | 03:36 |
| harrisonk | pastebin.ubuntu.com/496225 | 03:37 |
| harrisonk | I can't get the fstab file because it is on the "damanged" file system | 03:38 |
| stlsaint | you cant navigate to it via terminal? | 03:39 |
| stlsaint | you will probably have to force mount it | 03:39 |
| stlsaint | or you could do one better...one sec | 03:39 |
| harrisonk | yep | 03:39 |
| stlsaint | go here and download the script and run it. it is going to put a document on your desktop or in your / of livecd called RESULTS.txt, pastebin the contents of it for me | 03:41 |
| stlsaint | http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ | 03:41 |
| stlsaint | ^^site | 03:41 |
| harrisonk | I remember that off the forums | 03:42 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: yep, very useful, i ran it just to get my system info on doc for quick and easy access :D | 03:43 |
| harrisonk | who wrote that script? | 03:44 |
| harrisonk | or what is the persons nick on the forums | 03:44 |
| * harrisonk is working as fast as he can | 03:46 | |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: meierfra | 03:46 |
| stlsaint | on forums | 03:46 |
| harrisonk | right that is who wrote it | 03:46 |
| stlsaint | yep | 03:47 |
| stlsaint | ddecator: sup | 03:47 |
| ddecator | stlsaint: nm, you? | 03:47 |
| stlsaint | ddecator: chilling, passed A+ exam today so im certified in it, small step but its a step none the less ;) | 03:48 |
| ddecator | stlsaint: very nice! what subject? | 03:49 |
| stlsaint | ddecator: no i mean the CompTIA A+ certification exam | 03:49 |
| ddecator | stlsaint: ah, gotcha. well congrats :) | 03:50 |
| harrisonk | stlsaint where would I find the results.txt file? | 03:50 |
| harrisonk | stlsaint and should it be run as root? | 03:51 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: it should come up on your desktop or it might be in (/). As you are on the livecd you just have to run sudo -i to get to root | 03:52 |
| stlsaint | no password of course | 03:52 |
| harrisonk | could it be in the roots home folder? | 03:54 |
| stlsaint | maybe | 03:55 |
| harrisonk | nope not anywhere | 03:55 |
| harrisonk | should we try force mounting? | 03:55 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: open a terminal and run: locate RESULTS.txt #yes with the capitals as such | 03:55 |
| harrisonk | do I include the #yes? | 03:56 |
| stlsaint | hehe no | 03:58 |
| harrisonk | ether way nothing showed | 03:58 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: the results.txt will probably be where ever you ran it from... | 03:58 |
| stlsaint | are you sure you ran the script? | 03:58 |
| harrisonk | I ran it as follows: sudo sh boot_info_script055.sh | 03:59 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: copy the script to your desktop and run this command: sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script*.sh | 03:59 |
| harrisonk | okay | 03:59 |
| harrisonk | it is working! | 04:00 |

| zkriesse | Mohan_chml: good call | 04:25 |
| harrisonk | I reinstalled the xp boot loader so that I could boot into Xp as my brother and sisters math program is on there. | 04:25 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: grub handles booting into ANYTHING on your computer | 04:26 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: seems you have linux on /sda2 and /sda5 but neither are aware of each other | 04:26 |
| zkriesse | If it's a bootable OS, GRUB handles it | 04:26 |
| harrisonk | but if the file system is corupt then /boot is corupt and thus GRUB is curupted | 04:27 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: you have /sda2 showing as having windows on it but its label is linux with a DOS UUID | 04:27 |
| harrisonk | huh! | 04:27 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: you cant corrupt what you dont have | 04:27 |
| harrisonk | but I had it! | 04:28 |
| harrisonk | I will get over it and I might make more backups! | 04:28 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: wait i take that back...you have a linux UUID but its contents are mixed with windows and linux | 04:28 |
| harrisonk | ehter way it is a lot to take in! | 04:29 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: well if you want to we can take some steps to repair the system :D (though it will have to wait until tomorrow) | 04:29 |
| stlsaint | 1. Install grub | 04:29 |
| harrisonk | okay | 04:29 |
| stlsaint | 2. Mount that harddrive and find fstab | 04:29 |
| harrisonk | okay | 04:30 |
| stlsaint | 3. Compare fstab to what that results doc shows in the fdisk and blkid section and make sure it matches to what fstab is using | 04:30 |
| harrisonk | okay | 04:30 |
| stlsaint | 4. Update grub and reboot :D | 04:30 |
| stlsaint | JackStonewall: hello | 04:31 |

I've got a klugey solution (forcing the NetworkManager.state and then restarting the service from my rc.local) but this somehow just feels wrong. Ideas? | 04:31 |
| stlsaint | i can chat, but im multitasking so i cant give full attention to isse ..sorrys | 04:31 |

| BBY_Lafayette | hi, i got a question about Ubuntu desktop | 04:55 |
| === BBY_Lafayette is now known as sco | ||
| === sco is now known as dengaku_sco | ||
| ddecator | wow, 3 minutes later and i didn't even get to ask what the question was.. | 04:58 |
| dengaku_sco | is the reason i cant access my programs like Winamp and such because its the desktop version? | 04:59 |
| seidos | dengaku_sco, winamp isn't a native ubuntu application. there are alternatives for ubuntu like rhythmbox. if you must use winamp you can try using wine to run it. | 05:03 |
| dengaku_sco | well it's not just Winamp, but stuff like GIMP and games and programs ingeneral | 05:04 |
| Mohan_chml | dengaku_sco, you are logged in with GNOME enviroinment? | 05:05 |
| Mohan_chml | environment* | 05:05 |
| dengaku_sco | uum, no | 05:05 |
| temposs | Mohan_chml, he may not know what GNOME is ;-) | 05:06 |
| dengaku_sco | somewhat | 05:06 |
| seidos | not sure about 10.04, but 9.10 comes with gimp and games. | 05:06 |
| seidos | thought i heard some time back that gimp wasn't going to be included on a desktop install. | 05:07 |
| Mohan_chml | temposs, :D | 05:07 |
| temposs | seidos, GIMP is not included by default in 10.04 | 05:07 |
| seidos | temposs, :( | 05:07 |
| temposs | but it is available in the software center, as usual | 05:07 |
| seidos | well, they have their reasons i'm sure. | 05:07 |
| dengaku_sco | i have it on the hard drive, but it wont run it like all my other Win programs | 05:08 |
| seidos | dengaku_sco, on the hard drive? where on the hard drive? | 05:08 |
| temposs | seidos, he's copied over his programs from his Windows install, and he's trying to run all his WIndows apps | 05:09 |
| dengaku_sco | C\: Programs | 05:09 |
| Mohan_chml | dengaku_sco, you are using wine??? | 05:09 |
| dengaku_sco | no | 05:09 |
| temposs | Mohan_chml, he probably doesn't know what WINE is ;-) | 05:09 |
| Mohan_chml | dengaku_sco, then where can you find C ?? | 05:09 |
| dengaku_sco | a little, but i thought Linux could run all Win proags | 05:09 |
| dengaku_sco | programs | 05:09 |
| Mohan_chml | dengaku_sco, Shall we start from scratch? | 05:10 |
| temposs | dengaku_sco, Linux cannot run all Windows programs | 05:10 |
| dengaku_sco | ahh | 05:10 |
| * Mohan_chml needs two minutes silence | 05:10 | |
| Mohan_chml | dengaku_sco, Let me explain about Ubuntu first | 05:10 |
| dengaku_sco | ..k | 05:10 |
| Mohan_chml | ubuntu has the file structure as / , /home , /root , /boot and you can find it by going to File System in Computer which you can find it in places | 05:12 |
| Mohan_chml | Ubuntu runs applications with the extension .deb | 05:13 |
| dengaku_sco | ok | 05:13 |
| Mohan_chml | .exe will not be executable in Ubuntu | 05:13 |
| dengaku_sco | ah | 05:13 |
| Mohan_chml | for that you can install Wine to run a windows application | 05:13 |
| Mohan_chml | !Wine | 05:13 |
| ubot2 | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 05:13 |
| Mohan_chml | you can find the details about wine there | 05:14 |
| Mohan_chml | and | 05:14 |
| seidos | Mohan_chml, well, ubuntu runs binary files... like gimp in /usr/bin/gimp etc. | 05:14 |
| Mohan_chml | seidos, I dont wanna confuse him at the beginning, telling about the executables =] | 05:14 |
| Mohan_chml | dengaku_sco, But, you can find an alternate for whatever .exe file you like to run in your machine | 05:15 |
| dengaku_sco | i saw all the programs in the ..list thingy | 05:16 |
| dengaku_sco | didnt try them really. (im in Vista right now) | 05:16 |
| Mohan_chml | dengaku_sco, can you tell the path of what you mentioned? applications-> programming? | 05:17 |
| Mohan_chml | dengaku_sco, Okay! | 05:17 |
| Mohan_chml | dengaku_sco, what application you use in Win X? | 05:17 |
| dengaku_sco | for anything specific? | 05:18 |
| dengaku_sco | [hmm, i guess because the Firefox in Ubntu is a .deb thing, that's the reason it doesnt have my addons or bookmarks] | 05:19 |
| seidos | dengaku_sco, no, it's because ubuntu and windows don't talk to each other O_o | 05:22 |
| dengaku_sco | aah | 05:22 |
| seidos | dengaku_sco, you can export your firefox bookmarks though. then save it somewhere on your windows drive, and then import them into firefox in ubuntu | 05:23 |
| seidos | assuming you can see your windows partition (piece of hard drive with windows on it), which i think you said you could. | 05:23 |
| dengaku_sco | been trying to fine the folder or file with the bookmarks, but i guess it's named funny | 05:24 |
| dengaku_sco | actually i can only really see a main file of mine | 05:24 |
| seidos | yeah, not sure what it would be under windows off the top of my head. | 05:24 |
| dengaku_sco | one i made | 05:24 |
| seidos | see a file in ubuntu that is on your windows partition? | 05:25 |
| dengaku_sco | yep. i have all my pics and install files. it's my "shove all my crud" folder | 05:26 |
| dengaku_sco | tho i did put a copy of it on my second in-case hard drive | 05:28 |
| seidos | dengaku_sco, so can you copy files from your windows partition to your ubuntu partition? | 05:29 |
| dengaku_sco | on my SD card | 05:29 |
| seidos | well, that works | 05:29 |
| ddecator | firefox bookmarks? use Sync | 05:32 |
| ddecator | no idea if that's actually relevant to what was being discussed, just throwing that out there | 05:32 |
| dengaku_sco | Sync? | 05:33 |
| ddecator | it's an add-on for 3.6 and will be built-in to 4.0, it syncs bookmarks, tabs, history, passwords (which you can enable/disable indvidually) between your desktops. so if you use firefox in multiple places, they will all stay updated | 05:34 |
| ddecator | also works with fennec (but that's still in development) | 05:34 |
| dengaku_sco | awesome, another thing i need | 05:34 |
| dengaku_sco | thanks dude | 05:35 |
| ddecator | no problem :) | 05:35 |
| dengaku_sco | ahh, now i see why that guys was so insistent on me using the ubntu progs | 05:46 |
| dengaku_sco | guy* | 05:46 |
| ddecator | what's that? | 05:49 |
| dengaku_sco | so that more ppl use the ubntu programs instead of the Win programs, so that influences more use of the ubntu. which also influences development of further ubntu programs | 05:52 |
| dengaku_sco | (got this from the Wine FAQ) | 05:53 |
| ddecator | true, plus native applications run more smoothly and look better typically | 05:55 |
| dengaku_sco | that too. tho i dont know. the ubnt Firefox seems to d/l webpages slower | 05:56 |
| ddecator | that could be an ipv6 issue, if that's still around. are you using lucid and the latest firefox? | 05:57 |
| seidos | could be a lot of flash on the websites you are downloading. | 05:57 |
| ddecator | oh flash...on that note, the new 64-bit "square" is working well for me | 05:58 |
| dengaku_sco | cant be flash. the ubnt Firefox doesnt have any java | 06:00 |
| ddecator | i've using firefox 4.0 on maverick and it's just as fast as chromium for me | 06:00 |
| ddecator | icedtea is the opensource version of java, and flash is included in the ubuntu-restricted-extras package | 06:00 |
| ddecator | i've been using* | 06:00 |
| dengaku_sco | java is restricted on ubnt? | 06:02 |
| ddecator | you can use the standard java, but icedtea is the one that is included (i think) and should work fine | 06:02 |

| bdogg | how can i fix it | 08:25 |
| Mohan_chml | bdogg, you can edit GRUB | 08:26 |
| bdogg | what do you mean | 08:26 |
| bdogg | i dont really think it has to do with grub | 08:27 |
| AbhiJit | bdogg, install this https://launchpad.net/gdm2setup and see if you can change resolution from there | 08:27 |
| bdogg | because when the pythom theme load | 08:27 |
| AbhiJit | bdogg, after installing you will find it in system>preferences>gdm2long | 08:27 |
| Mohan_chml | bdogg, its a try | 08:27 |

| bdogg | the screen resolution is normal | 08:27 |
| bdogg | im using maverick btw | 08:28 |
| AbhiJit | :o | 08:28 |
| Mohan_chml | bdogg, try editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg , find the line GRUB_GFXMODE and set the resolution | 08:28 |
| AbhiJit | bdogg, ask in #ubuntu+a | 08:28 |
| AbhiJit | #ubuntu+1 | 08:29 |
| bdogg | no one there -_- | 08:29 |
| AbhiJit | bdogg, 207 users there | 08:29 |
| bdogg | no one responded | 08:30 |
| AbhiJit | ohh | 08:30 |

| Mohan_chml | wait..! mine will not help. coz it is for boot screen | 08:30 |
| bdogg | yeah boot screen is fine | 08:30 |
| bdogg | its just the login screen for some weird reason | 08:30 |
| Mohan_chml | bdogg, is xorg is present in maverick?? | 08:30 |
| Mohan_chml | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=151192 i found that | 08:31 |
| bdogg | yes and no | 08:31 |
| bdogg | you have to type a special command in recovery mode | 08:31 |
| bdogg | but i have a Xorg file | 08:31 |
| Mohan_chml | bdogg, looked at the above thread? | 08:34 |
| bdogg | yeah | 08:34 |
| shadeslayer | bdogg: you dont ask a question in #ubuntu+1 and leave 5 mins later :> | 08:34 |
| bdogg | gonna try it in a bir | 08:34 |
| shadeslayer | its a weekend.. loads of people are out | 08:35 |
| AbhiJit | !weekend | 08:37 |
| ubot2 | It's a weekend. Often on weekends the paid developers and a lot of the community may not be around to answer your question. Please be patient, wait longer than you normally would or try again during the working week. | 08:37 |

| kosaidpo | how can i kno if i have the sound driver installed ?? alisamixer ?? | 12:22 |
| Mohan_chml | kosaidpo, lspci lists your audio? | 12:25 |
| Mohan_chml | open terminal and type lspci | 12:25 |

| dirty-harry | hi there, anyone here who knows how active the desktop-icon-starter-reaction in xubuntu lucid lynx | 14:20 |
| dirty-harry | ähm sorry, I mean "how to activate reaction" ... bad, very bad spelling | 14:23 |
| Mohan_chml | dirty-harry, I cant even google about what you asked. can you elaborate it? | 14:31 |
| Mohan_chml | and you tried asking in #xubuntu ? | 14:32 |
| dirty-harry | well, first of all sorry for the double... I'm in a hurry, someone wants to have her pc back | 14:33 |
| Mohan_chml | kay! you asked for help in #xubuntu ? | 14:34 |
| dirty-harry | second, the problem is that... oh maybe I'm totally brain-f*** now | 14:39 |
| dirty-harry | I thought I could see some kind of reaction when double-clicking on a desktop icon simular to the icons in the panel | 14:41 |
| hobgoblin | oic | 14:42 |
| dirty-harry | sorry :-/ | 14:43 |
| hobgoblin | not sure what xubuntu uses - but I would guess that it's in one of the sys admin menus somewhere - desktop customisation or something | 14:44 |
| hobgoblin | you might be better off asking in #xubuntu if there's anyone awake - they'll be more likely to be able to answer without digging the answer out | 14:45 |
| === JoeMaver1ckSett is now known as JoeMaverickSett | ||
| dirty-harry | hobgoblin, thanks for your attention but I really think that I am just exaggerating here | 14:49 |
| dirty-harry | I know this sounds stupid but I'm a bit nervous 'cause the pc is for someone special... | 14:52 |
| Mohan_chml | dirty-harry, then there will be nervousness for sure ;) | 14:52 |
| JoeMaverickSett | dirty-harry: are you referring to the reaction when you double-click on desktop icons, they are not opening? | 14:53 |
| Mohan_chml | dirty-harry, you asked in #xubuntu ? | 14:53 |
| dirty-harry | Mohan_chml, thx for your understanding | 14:54 |
| Mohan_chml | dirty-harry, and you got any solution for what you are searching for? | 14:55 |
| dirty-harry | JoeMaverickSett, no no, the programs are starting correctly and working correctly - as I said I'm just overdoing it... | 14:55 |
| JoeMaverickSett | dirty-harry: ah, okie then. :) | 14:56 |
| dirty-harry | yes, absolutely :) | 14:59 |
| dirty-harry | once again, thx a lot for your time | 15:01 |
| Mohan_chml | dirty-harry, =] and try make the one to get the best from the machine :) | 15:02 |
| dirty-harry | oh I will | 15:03 |
| JoeMaverickSett | dirty-harry: just like Mohan_chml try making the best out of the machine and don't quit on it. :) | 15:04 |
| dirty-harry | well, I think I did a pretty good job installing such an old machine; all the important stuff works: flash,dvd,mp3,webcam,burning dvds,skype,office... | 15:18 |
| dirty-harry | I only had two problems I couldn't solve: running truecrypt stable with thunar and customize the xfce-menu... | 15:19 |
| dirty-harry | but I think the machine will be accepted the way it is now ;) | 15:21 |

| saji89 | Herman_Snerd, Please specify your problem. Then we may be able to solve it. | 17:15 |
| Herman_Snerd | I've been experiencing long delays in retrieving web pages and I'm thinking it might either be OS related or drivers. I'm running a dual-boot setup and the Win-Blows side doesn't seem to have the same problems. | 17:17 |
| Herman_Snerd | Not sure where to look in the networking settings to get any answers. I am running proprietary drivers on this HP laptop. | 17:18 |

| saji89 | Herman_Snerd, I don't have the solution for you, But let me see if I can find someone to help you/ | 17:21 |
| Abhijeet | thanks friend it worked , but why such a thing happened ? i | 17:21 |

| Abhijeet | the second one where right click on folder and adding nautilus . it not only worked for the specific folder but all the places items. Thank u one again !!!!!!!!!! | 17:23 |
| saji89 | Herman_Snerd, Okies. But while I try to get someone you may try asking at #ubuntu as well, There are many people in there, so there is more probability that you may get the answer. :) | 17:23 |
| Herman_Snerd | saji89, 10-4 | 17:24 |
