| Monica2 | hey guys. anyone have experience using compiz with lxde around here? | 06:38 |
|---|---|---|
| bioterror | we all have so ancient hardware ;) | 06:39 |
| Monica2 | :P | 06:39 |
| Monica2 | i'm running an old PC from 2004, mind you | 06:39 |
| head_victim | I wouldn't know where to start with that combination actually | 06:39 |
| Monica2 | but it has an old nvidia fx 5500 that can do nice fade ins and fade outs, which is what i'm interested in :) | 06:39 |
| Monica2 | head-victim: just installing compiz then running compiz or compiz --replace (either seems to work) uses compiz instead of openbox | 06:40 |
| Monica2 | but it uses some horrible default metacity-ish theme that i can't seem to change | 06:40 |
| Monica2 | nor can i get it to run on start up | 06:40 |
| bioterror | you have to add it for the startup | 06:41 |
| head_victim | How does it compare though resources wise? | 06:41 |
| Monica2 | i've not really checked, so i might as well do so now | 06:41 |
| Monica2 | okay, so right now i'm at 347 megs of RAM | 06:41 |
| head_victim | I've actually found fusion-icon to be the handiest program for my gnome desktop, lets me switch so easily. | 06:41 |
| Monica2 | (using openbox) | 06:41 |
| bioterror | Monica2, 347MB right after boot? | 06:42 |
| Monica2 | bioterror: right now | 06:42 |
| Monica2 | and after enabling compiz... 377 mb | 06:42 |
| Monica2 | not a MASSIVE increase, at least on this hardware (i have a gig of RAM, which i remember being incredibly happy with in 2004 :P) | 06:43 |
| bioterror | yeah, now in 2010 default is 4GB as minimum | 06:44 |
| bioterror | so the time flies | 06:44 |
| head_victim | I have 10 in my main desktop :/ | 06:44 |
| Monica2 | :P show off | 06:44 |
| Monica2 | i've only got 4 in my main PC, but i don't really ever use that much | 06:45 |
| Monica2 | i'm not sure what to do with it all | 06:45 |
| head_victim | I use it for VMs | 06:46 |
| head_victim | Trying to run 2 VMs, HDTV and a 3d game is about what I can achieve reasonably easy. | 06:46 |
| Monica2 | not bad :P | 06:46 |
| head_victim | My Lubuntu box is a 2.4 celeron (soon to be a 3.0 or 3.2 proper intel) though so I do understand limited computing | 06:47 |
| Monica2 | yeah | 06:48 |
| Monica2 | i'm still struggling to figure out what to do with my parent's old laptops | 06:48 |
| Monica2 | they bought them at an odd point which meant they were desktop CPUs in laptop cases | 06:48 |
| Monica2 | sony vaios, incredibly hot | 06:48 |
| Monica2 | should i hunt down some celeron mobiles and put them in? or gut the frame, put a decent heatsink on and use them as sort of disgusting looking desktops? | 06:49 |
| Monica2 | what would you do? :P | 06:49 |
| head_victim | Monica2: I have a 2.8 laptop that is a normal desktop cpu that sits pretty warm. I've found Lubuntu + laptop cooler with fans keeps it reasonable. | 06:50 |
| Monica2 | head_victim: i actually did get a laptop cooler for it, funnily enough | 06:51 |
| head_victim | The other thing to do is to clear the heatsinks, they gather HEAPs of dust. | 06:52 |
| Monica2 | or rather, i built one out of wood, two internal case fans, a spliced USB cable and a LOT of zip ties and duct tape :P | 06:52 |
| Monica2 | head_victim: yeah, i took one apart and managed to clear out most of the dust, but they are so complicated inside | 06:53 |
| head_victim | Hah sounds like fun, I saw them for 10 dollars and figured that would be cheaper than me trying to make one. | 06:53 |
| Monica2 | head_victim: yeah :P the only problem is the 5 volts from the USB cable - the fans barely cause a breeze | 06:53 |
| Monica2 | i don't know if you can make two USB cables come together to make 10 volts? | 06:54 |
| head_victim | Not sure to be honest | 06:56 |
| Monica2 | :O | 06:58 |
| Monica2 | *:P, even | 06:58 |
| Monica2 | sorry to take the channel off-topic :P | 06:58 |
| head_victim | Monica2: feel free to head over to #lubuntu-offtopic if you want | 06:58 |

| head_victim | Any easy way to have mounted /media files show up on the Lubuntu desktop? | 09:55 |
| bioterror | wel | 09:58 |
| bioterror | lxde desktop works different way | 09:58 |
| head_victim | Yeah I figured. | 09:58 |
| head_victim | Just create a symlink? | 09:58 |
| bioterror | that's not a solution | 09:59 |
| head_victim | Guess not. I don't really need it just like to know when they're mounted properly and not | 10:00 |
| bioterror | how about: df -h | 10:00 |
| bioterror | to know the mount situation | 10:01 |
| head_victim | Yeah I was just looking for something visual and always on | 10:02 |

| mauroubel | it is on a folder on the desktop | 19:46 |
| mark76 | So it's not a streaming problem then | 19:46 |
| mauroubel | k, so i ve installed exaile, it says Playback error encountered! instalation of GStreamer lacks a complement | 19:50 |
| mark76 | Sounds like you need one of the gstreamer plugins | 19:51 |
| mauroubel | I really apreciate your help mark76 | 19:52 |
| mauroubel | thank you so much! | 19:52 |
| mauroubel | hahah | 19:52 |

| mark76 | Not Installed | 19:56 |
| mauroubel | installing | 19:58 |

| mark76 | Also ffmpeg | 19:59 |
| mauroubel | im on it | 20:00 |
| mauroubel | shouldnt I uninstal alsa? | 20:00 |
| mark76 | Might as well | 20:00 |
| mark76 | Try the mp3 again when you've done it | 20:03 |
| mark76 | In Exaile | 20:03 |
| mauroubel | okey | 20:03 |
| mauroubel | its taking long cause its downloading big packs | 20:03 |
| mark76 | Okay | 20:05 |
| mark76 | Fair enough | 20:05 |
| mark76 | BRB | 20:10 |
| mark76 | Back | 20:13 |
| mauroubel | its taking a lifetime | 20:17 |
| kristian-aalborg | hi all | 20:17 |
| mark76 | Dial up? | 20:17 |
| kristian-aalborg | I messed up my /home/user | 20:17 |
| mark76 | Bugger | 20:17 |
| kristian-aalborg | yes | 20:18 |
| kristian-aalborg | for once, I had a backup... so I tried to restore | 20:18 |
| kristian-aalborg | but, alas | 20:18 |
| mark76 | Oh dear | 20:18 |
| kristian-aalborg | all I get is the bar in the bottom of the screen... I can't run anything in graphical mode | 20:19 |
| kristian-aalborg | I can go to the tty's but everything seems ok | 20:19 |
| mark76 | Too technical for me | 20:19 |
| kristian-aalborg | the screens you get when you press alt-f2 and such | 20:19 |
| mark76 | I know that | 20:20 |
| mauroubel | it finished installing finally | 20:41 |
| mark76 | K | 20:41 |
| mark76 | Does the mp3 work in Exaile now? | 20:41 |
| mauroubel | it works | 20:41 |
| mauroubel | but it still works bad | 20:42 |
| mauroubel | ill try uninstalling alsa | 20:42 |
| mauroubel | and restarting | 20:42 |
| kristian-aalborg | I'll reinstall, I think | 20:42 |
| kristian-aalborg | and, while I'm going to do that - | 20:42 |
| kristian-aalborg | http://pastebin.com/pxcap9R1 | 20:42 |
| kristian-aalborg | if anybody could spot some bloat there and let me know, I'd be glad ;) | 20:43 |
| mark76 | Okay | 20:44 |
| kristian-aalborg | a bunch of these libs are from rhythmbox - I find it a bit more user-friendly than aqualung | 20:44 |
| mauroubel | i have news | 20:47 |
| mauroubel | now that i have uninstalled alsa, the song stops completely after 5 seconds | 20:48 |
| mark76 | Hmm | 20:48 |
| mark76 | Odd | 20:48 |
| mark76 | In all players? | 20:48 |
| mauroubel | on audacious stops completely. on aqualung its the same thing as allways, on exaile too | 20:50 |
| mark76 | Try a different mp3 | 20:53 |
| mark76 | I assume you have more than one | 20:53 |
| mauroubel | i ve tryed lots of diferent songs | 20:53 |
| mauroubel | play from cd too | 20:53 |
| mark76 | I don't know then | 20:57 |
| mauroubel | well | 21:01 |
| mauroubel | thanks for all the help | 21:01 |
| mark76 | No problem | 21:02 |
| mark76 | Try asking on Ubuntu forums | 21:02 |
| mark76 | There's more people there | 21:02 |
| kristian-aalborg | mauroubel: try vlc player? | 21:03 |
| mauroubel | should i download vlc player? | 21:03 |
| mark76 | Might as well | 21:03 |
| kristian-aalborg | it can sometimes fix stuff | 21:06 |
| mauroubel | ok, im downolading it now | 21:06 |
| mauroubel | nope, it still does the same thing :( | 21:14 |
| kristian-aalborg | hmm | 21:45 |
| kristian-aalborg | I'm reinstalling now | 21:45 |
| kristian-aalborg | and it complains that linux-image and linux-generic are broken | 21:45 |
| mark76 | Reinstalling's a bit drastic | 21:45 |
| kristian-aalborg | mark76: it would take more time for me to figure out a fix | 21:46 |
| kristian-aalborg | believe me ;) | 21:46 |
| kristian-aalborg | also, I backed up a list of packages | 21:46 |
| kristian-aalborg | however, this error seems rather critical? | 21:46 |
| kristian-aalborg | (this is 10.4) | 21:46 |
| murat | guys I have problem with splash screen | 23:39 |
| murat | the old workaround does not work anymore | 23:39 |
