[00:06] Does anyone have experience with open office? I currently have the individual programs installed, but recently saw Open Office Suit. Which would be better to use? what is the difference? [00:17] Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows if there are side effects to changing my filesystem label. I just want to get my drives to show up as something different than their size in my filemanager... Thanks [00:40] hi all [00:40] anyone here able to help with a quick Free-NX question? [00:48] corbis: shhot maybe some one can help [00:51] cool [00:51] well i have nxserver setup on a centos box [00:51] and my user can connect, but when they connect, it opens the session as user nx, instead of as the user [00:52] so when they go to open a terminal, etc, they get an NX shell [00:52] and not their shell [00:52] they also have no access to the files that user owns, etc [00:52] i know this is ubuntu channel [00:52] but it should be similar right [01:00] corbis: you talking ssh? [01:02] stlsaint [01:02] im talking freenx [01:03] how does the user connect? [01:05] well i connect using nx client which technically should be using ssh pass through on there mote system [01:07] corbis: is the user created on the nxserver? or are you using: ssh @nxserver ? [01:08] yes the user is created [01:08] are you familiar with what nxserver is? [01:08] its a way to connect to your desktop like VNC [01:08] turns your Unix box into a terminal server for Gnome sessions [01:08] corbis: no i have never used nxserver before [01:09] corbis: is there a freenx or nx channel you could join to ask for help [01:38] hey all === bromic94 is now known as thewrath [01:39] wats up [01:39] where did my voice go [01:44] Hi thewrath [01:44] hey wats up [01:46] Not much [01:46] *looks around for thewrath's voice* [01:46] i might be getting a new car this weekend lol [01:46] but sooner than i tought [01:46] * pedro3005 looks at bgs100 [01:47] * bgs100 blinks at pedro3005 [01:48] corbis: never used nx before, but I can try to help. How are you specifiying a remote user? If the syntax is like ssh, then you need to specifiy a username. if it only has a connect entry then 'username@nx-hist-ip.com' should be used. if you simply connect to the ip then it may be giving you a default user (nx in this case). [01:48] thewrath: ah cool [01:49] i think i have a rod kocking in my car [01:49] bgs100, I wonder what would happen if segfault segfaulted [01:49] pedro3005: hm? [01:50] bgs100, well, there must be some code that displays the oh-so-nice "segmentation fault". it'd be cool if THAT segfaulted [01:50] pedro3005: Ah, lol. [01:50] Yes it would. [01:50] Well maybe not cool for the user [01:50] :p [01:51] the universe would probably explode [01:52] pedro3005: No; the segfaulting segfault case is caught as a primitive exception, but then the catching program divides by zero, causing an *im*plode [02:05] bgs100: +1 [02:05] indeed [02:07] bgs100, how is life [02:07] ? [02:08] Alright. not too much homework lately. [02:09] Maverick broke X for me (I use nvidia-96 dirvers; should've read the relese notes more carefully :P), but all is okay now [02:09] drivers* [02:09] what year are you in? [02:10] hm?

[03:10] so i upgraded thinking it would be better. and honestly its slower. and i still cant get on the internet via ethernet! =D NOT. [03:10] ive been trying to fix this for two weeks. [03:11] no one on this fucking chat support can do anything for me and no one will answer my forum questions. [03:12] hxcjonnysniper: well yelling and cussing at folks isnt going to get anyone to want to help fix your issue [03:13] hxcjonnysniper: you could be dealing with bad drivers, need kernel update and or a malfunctioning card [03:13] !language [03:13] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:13] oh i know. but i dont know how many times ive done a ping today. im very aggravated. [03:14] my drivers are fine. i think they need driver updates but i cant find them. can you help me with that? [03:14] have you looked in your hardware menu? [03:14] System>Admin>Hardware [03:17] actually it will be in additional drivers [03:18] no proprietary drivers are in use on this system [03:19] hxcjonnysniper: well if you know the card is good that you will end up coming down to it being a driver issue [03:19] hxcjonnysniper: then you will need to see what the driver is and start looking for bugs/patches/updates to driver [03:19] so it would be a driver issue? [03:20] hxcjonnysniper:run command: [03:20] crap dang keyboard [03:21] dangit [03:21] cant find the pipe key [03:21] hxcjonnysniper: you know where the pipe symbol is on keyboard...button above the right enter key? [03:21] h/o [03:21] stlsaint: i think it's with the "\" key. :) [03:22] JoeMaverickSett: yea but my keyboard is all different atm [03:22] yeah! [03:22] i got it. =p [03:22] lol. [03:22] alright you will need to see your driver with the lspci command so: [03:23] lspci grep Ethernet [03:24] okay [03:27] now what? [03:28] hxcjonnysniper: with that driver info you will need to either look on launchpad or use google to see if there are some bugs with this and the 10.10 kernel. [03:28] im sorry but i will be unable to help as i must leave [03:37] i appreciate you doing absolutely nothing for me. =D NOT. [03:47] Is anyone running Ubuntu 10.10 netbook. I have to be honest and not loving the changes. I can't seem to do what I want/need? [03:48] paultag: Didn't you just install it? Or did you go back to Debian? [03:48] nhandler, yeah I did [03:48] johnny77, yeah I'm not liking it either [03:49] johnny77, the new WM is really buggy, can't enable visual effects and hard to use [03:49] johnny77, I'd downgrade to the old netbook-launcher if it's starting to get in your way ( but still in 10.10 ) [03:49] nhandler, sorry that was a bad answer. I still have UNE [03:49] Mutter is wayyyyyyyyyy too alpha for my taste [03:49] WM? Only recently started using Ubuntu. [03:50] Oh, sorry [03:50] how would I down grade? [03:51] johnny77, not sure yet. I was going to write up instructions in the morning. I think you should be able to install netbook-launcher from software sources. If you need to use the computer now, there is an option to change your session at the login menu. It's on the bottom bar. It's a drop(up) menu that says "Ubuntu Netbook Edition" right now [03:51] johnny77, change that to Ubuntu Desktop and login. That should be a temporary fix until I can help more [03:52] is the desktop more like the old netbook? I really liked the favorite menu in the old netbook. Is that is desktop? [03:54] johnny77, I'm afraid not. I'll write you up instructions. If check back Friday, I should have a better answer for you. I only installed it yesterday [03:54] If you * check back [03:55] no problem, I just installed it and was like gasp. The old menu I picked up real easy... I'll check back later. [03:58] johnny77, yeah man, I feel your pain [03:58] johnny77, sorry bout that. Ubuntu is usually better then this :) [03:59] it's ok. Actually I was so impressed with the last one, I'll give it some mistakes. Heck, I've been using Windows a good 15 years and still have to and they've made some mistakes. [04:04] :) [04:04] johnny77, I'll write it up after my midterms in the morning [04:04] ( if I get to it ;) ) [04:05] no problem, take your time. I'll come back on here later & try to catch you. I have to go... Thanks for your help. [04:05] cheers :) === Mossyfunk|Sleep is now known as Mossyfunk [07:24] i am having a tough time installing maverick. it was working fine all night last night from live usb, so i was going to install today. backed up data, tried installing, when i went to "advanced partitioning" there were new options create partitions (new was greyed out) [07:25] *was no "new" option, as it was greyed out. [07:25] now i'm hesitant to even try install. i have another usb stick, in case it's the usb stick, but i tried installing an iso to it, and i couldn't. gparted won't even format the stick :| [07:26] i don't have any live cds...i was kind of hoping that a live usb would be just as reliable, if not more so. perhaps i should quit while i'm behind, and stick with karmic [07:26] just accept that my hardware is old, and it won't work with it === Mossyfunk is now known as Mossyfunk|Away === jussi01_ is now known as jussi [09:55] hello :) === Mossyfunk|Away is now known as Mossyfunk === mohi1 is now known as Mohan_chml === Mossyfunk is now known as Mossyfunk|AFK === Mossyfunk|AFK is now known as Mossyfunk|Sleep [15:59] Hello, does anyone can help me set up Sweave to run with Kile editor???

[16:06] if you are ok with the command line then sudo cp path/original path/new [16:07] if not use root filemanager - but as I have no idea what distro or desktop environment you are using that would need a guess [16:07] as far as sweave and kile go - I've never heard of either - but a quick search on google got https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2008-October/176615.html [16:12] I'm using Ubuntu [16:12] Lucid 10.04 [16:14] gksudo nautilus /usr/local [16:14] will open nautilus as root in that location - be careful - don't start deleting things while you are root [16:15] ok [16:15] it will want your password [16:16] I type the password [16:16] now? [16:17] when you run the command it will want the password [16:19] remember to give that file rights to be executed [16:19] Actually a frame pop up with the password request and I typed it!

[17:09] Hello again, I was been help but needed to go somewhere: this is my problem again: Let me start over again: I downloaded the file in /home/LeMoilib/Download which is Sweave.sh a script file for Sweave and I'm suppose to copy it to /usr/local/bin [17:09] it's how you say... "Dumb as hell" [17:10] LOL :P [17:10] LeMoiLib, sudo cp /home/LeMoilib/Download/Sweave.sh /usr/local/bin [17:10] paultag: I am tired after having my dinner :) [17:10] LeMoiLib, might also need a chmod +x /usr/local/bin/Sweave.sh as well [17:10] paultag: Downloads [17:11] LeMoiLib, and to run it, run "Sweave.sh" [17:11] hobgoblin, +1 [17:11] Hello I was being help but needed to got, I'm back. This was my problem: I downloaded the file in /home/LeMoilib/Download which is Sweave.sh a script file for Sweave and I'm supposed to copy it to /usr/local/bin but don't know how to access it because it's locked. [17:11] basil: Beware of the official channels where you will be banned for such kind of activities. Do not spam the channel please [17:11] LeMoiLib: please read replies you get [17:13] debian package download website [17:13] tell me [17:14] gah, johnny77, it's been marked crap [17:14] johnny77, I'm going to backport it [17:14] I'm reading sorry [17:14] basil: what are you trying to install? [17:15] suggest me a good website for debian packages [17:15] there is no such thing [17:15] basil: Please try to explain what you want, in a single line. or it will be counted as spamming and there is a possibility for bans [17:15] paultag: what has been marked crap? and what does that mean? Sorry don't mean to bother, but just curious want to understand. [17:15] johnny77, oh sorry, I'm using slang terms that I use in my head [17:15] paultag: always a bad move [17:16] basil: there are official repositories which will be already added to synaptic package manager [17:16] johnny77, it's been marked "oldlib", and is a "transitional package", meaning that it does not install anything, it's a fake package to let people upgrade [17:16] johnny77, they're making people use Unity. So, what I'm going to do is back-port it to my PPA [17:16] paultag when do I put the +x.... command in your first suggestion? [17:16] johnny77, and you can install it from me :) [17:16] LeMoiLib, sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/Sweave.sh [17:16] how to install a package with out internet [17:17] basil: What package you want to install?? we can provide you the directories to download in accordance with the project you need [17:17] basil: `sudo apt-get download ` [17:17] wb mathay :) [17:17] hey mathay [17:17] mathay, sup pimp [17:18] paultag, Mohan_chml: how are you two doing?
