[01:54] <stlsaint> dab-_-: hrm, maybe, two things though: 1. i dont know what dzen2 is and 2. i never have troubleshooted conky, my script i use "just works"

[10:54] <arifovic> After failed update I get message "Out of Range". What can I do?
[11:38] <craig> Hi guys, anyone available to try and help with a live streaming problem i'm having? specifically a radio staion (.pls)
[14:12] <kosaidpo> which one is good/easy to use and intuitve  and got a big community archbang or crunchbang ?
[14:12] <kosaidpo> hello guys
[14:12] <kosaidpo> which one is good/easy to use and intuitve  and got a big community archbang or crunchbang ?
[14:17] <duanedesign> hello kosaidpo
[14:18] <duanedesign> The ‘bangs are popular these days and have been for a while. Crunchbang has a reputation for scooping Ubuntu users who find the default arrangement a little heavy, while Archbang is a relatively recent offshoot to do the same thing, just with Arch Linux.
[14:19] <pedro3005> if setting up archbang is anything like setting up arch, it's not exactly easy and intuitive
[14:20] <duanedesign> i would suspect Crunchbang has the larger community, if only because it has been around longer
[14:30] <sebsebseb> Hi
[15:03] <Silver_Fox_> Hello.
[15:04] <AbhiJit> hellloooo Silver_Fox_ :)
[15:04] <Silver_Fox_> Hello AbhiJit .
[15:04] <AbhiJit> :)
[15:15] <duanedesign> Silver_Fox_: hello
[15:15] <Silver_Fox_> Hello duanedesign.
[15:15] <duanedesign> Silver_Fox_: how have you been? dont think i have chatted with you in a few days :)
[15:16] <duanedesign> Silver_Fox_: did you see my email on the mailing list? cprofitt has started some work on updating the site for the new theme https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/
[15:17] <Silver_Fox_> I am fine thank you,  how are you?
[15:17] <Silver_Fox_> Yes, I got the email regarding the wiki.
[15:17] <duanedesign> Silver_Fox_: i am doing good. Weather is cooling down here. Fall/Spring always brighten my mood
[15:18] <Silver_Fox_> Splending.
[15:18] <duanedesign> Silver_Fox_: can finally break out the jeans and sweatshirts and retire the shorts
[15:18] <Silver_Fox_> Splendid
[15:18] <Silver_Fox_> I prefer winter to summer also.
[15:19]  * duanedesign nods
[15:19] <duanedesign> Silver_Fox_: look at this neat graph made of #ubuntu http://popey.com/graphs/ubuntu.ogv
[15:20] <duanedesign> more an animation then graph i guess
[15:23] <Silver_Fox_> Interesting concept, though the movie is moving far to quick to interpret what it is showing. You cannot for instance keep track of who is in the channel.
[15:24] <duanedesign> Silver_Fox_: i thought the same thing
[15:25] <duanedesign> Silver_Fox_: i am making one for #ubuntu-beginners-team, will definetly try and slow it down some
[15:26] <Silver_Fox_> I do not join that channel often, so i am safe from "social networking" =]
[15:26] <duanedesign> :)
[15:26] <Silver_Fox_> I do expect some will still like to see tthe channel activities in non log form.
[15:27] <duanedesign> Silver_Fox_: i think it will be fun.
[15:28] <duanedesign> Silver_Fox_: have a sec for a quick PM?
[17:08] <johnny77> does anyone have a recommendation for PDF viewer?
[17:09] <pedro3005> evince
[17:14] <johnny77> evince's website says "Ubuntu has evince in main and in the default install" does that mean in the software center or already install? I can't find it either place,
[17:15] <Silver_Fox_> alt+f2 then submit: evince
[17:19] <johnny77> Being used to windows I downloaded adobe viewer. How do I get pdfs to open into evince again?
[17:22] <johnny77> is there a way to get a folder into the favorites menu?
[17:25] <hobgoblin> johnny77: find a pdf - right click - properties - change to evince
[17:26] <hobgoblin> and what menu is that?
[17:27] <johnny77> you click the little ubuntu icon and get the menu, the top one says favorites. I can add applications to it, but wondered if I can add folders.
[17:27] <johnny77> hobgoblin: thanks got the pdfs to open in evidence.
[17:58] <ehcah> aveilleux?
[17:59] <aveilleux> ehcah?
[18:00] <ehcah> Hello my man!
[18:00] <ehcah> Wanted to say thank you for your help yesterday.
[18:01] <aveilleux> Err... hello
[18:01] <aveilleux> You're very welcome :3
[18:01] <ehcah> Sorry to take you away from your class!
[18:01] <ehcah> ;)
[18:01] <aveilleux> Haha, it's fine. We don't do much in that class anyway.
[18:01] <ehcah> I should have been working too.
[18:01] <ehcah> Damn home office's.
[18:02] <ehcah> I finally got the app working this morning. I had to trial and error copy .dll's from the /root/~/system32/ folder, modify permissions and then spend time comparing both root / jason registries.
[18:03] <ehcah> Good times!
[18:03] <aveilleux> ehcah: Oh, so it was looking for the dll file in the same directory as the executable?
[18:03] <aveilleux> ehcah: And people ask my why I prefer Linux's library format more...
[18:04] <ehcah> LOL
[18:04] <ehcah> I first had registry errors.
[18:04] <aveilleux> I'm going to get food before the stupid dining hall closes at 1330 (It's 1300 here now)
[18:05] <ehcah> Then missing files. Then etc...
[18:05] <ehcah> Enjoy lunch.
[18:05] <ehcah> Just wanted to say thank you.
[18:29] <johnny77> can anyone help my with symbolic links?
[18:31] <IAmNotThatGuy> Joeb454: can you elaborate your question? Symbolic kinks means like $ or # in the address of the link?
[18:31] <IAmNotThatGuy> aww johnny77 ^
[18:31] <aveilleux> johnny77: ln -s <target> <name_of_link>
[18:33] <johnny77> aveilleux: type that in the terminal? And should I be in the directory I want the link when I create it?
[18:33] <aveilleux> johnny77: Yes, in terminal. And yes, you want to be in the dir where the link will be located. You can move symlinks around, but it's easiest to just be in the directory.
[18:35] <aveilleux> johnny77: You can use relative paths in symlinks, ex. if you want to make a symlink to ~/Pictures/whatever (and you're located in ~/Desktop), you can do ln -s ../Pictures/whatever Pictures
[18:39] <ehcah> Are there any other email clients which can connect to MS Exchange besides Evolution?
[18:45] <donniezazen> hi
[18:46] <johnny77> aveilleux: when I type that in the command line I get a error: "ln: target 'name' is not a directory." But I know it is because I type the <target> after and it says <target> is a directory.
[18:48] <aveilleux> johnny77: Hmm, it works for me... can you type the whole command you are executing here, please?
[18:48] <johnny77> ln -s /home/jdmcclung/downloads downloads
[18:49] <aveilleux> johnny77: can you paste the output of the pwd command, please?
[18:49] <johnny77> how?
[18:50] <aveilleux> johnny77: Select the text, then hit ctrl+shift+c
[18:50] <johnny77> aveilleux: ln: target `downloads' is not a directory
[18:51] <aveilleux> johnny77: Then you can just paste it into the IRC normally (ctrl+v)
[18:51] <aveilleux> johnny77: No, not that command. I want the output of the "pwd" command.
[18:51] <johnny77> what pwd command?
[18:51] <aveilleux> johnny77: Just type pwd and hit enter.
[18:51] <johnny77> oh, ok.
[18:52] <johnny77> aveilleux: /home/jdmcclung/Dropbox -- Sorry not too familiar with ubuntu yet.
[18:53] <aveilleux> johnny77: can you pastebin the output of ls ~/  ?  http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/
[18:55] <johnny77> aveilleux: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/509565/ -- is that what you wanted?
[18:58] <aveilleux> johnny77: I... guess, but that's not the output I expected. Can you pastebin the output of cd ~ && ls && cd ~/Dropbox ?
[19:00] <johnny77> aveilleux: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/509569/
[19:02] <aveilleux> johnny77: There is no directory in your home dir called "downloads"... you can't link a file that doesn't exist
[19:06] <johnny77> aveilleux: but my original command was "ln -s /home/jdmcclung/Downloads downloads?" my download directory is in jdmcclung
[19:07] <aveilleux> johnny77: Oh, I dind't see that? Weird. In any case, I think I've figured it out. You have to append directories with a forward-slash, ie. the command should be ln -s ~/Downloads/ downloads
[19:07] <aveilleux> johnny77: In place of doing /home/jdmcclung you can use the tilde (~)
[19:19] <johnny77> aveilleux: is the command "ln -s <target> <name_of_link> ?
[19:20] <aveilleux> johnny77: That should be right, yes. I just tried it and it worked, so...
[19:23] <johnny77> aveilleux: I noticed something. I get error "ls: cannot access download: No such file or directory" <-- notice it's download not "Downloads" as in the directory. For some reason it's giving the error on the file name. maybe because Ubuntu sees "download" as a understood directory. Trying new file name.
[19:25] <johnny77> aveilleux: nope. It is still taking <name_of_file> and looking for a directory.
[19:25] <aveilleux> johnny: The command is ln -s , not ls
[19:27] <johnny77> aveilleux: oops :)
[19:29] <johnny77> aveilleux: worked. Sorry for the confusion.
[19:29] <aveilleux> no problwm
[19:29] <aveilleux> em*
[20:03] <stlsaint> aveilleux: sup
[20:03] <aveilleux> stlsaint: Not much
[20:03]  * stlsaint is sick
[20:03] <stlsaint> flu
[20:03] <aveilleux> :<
