[06:38] <Monica2> hey guys. anyone have experience using compiz with lxde around here?
[06:39] <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 :)
[06:40] <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
[06:41] <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)
[06:42] <bioterror> Monica2, 347MB right after boot?
[06:42] <Monica2> bioterror: right now
[06:42] <Monica2> and after enabling compiz... 377 mb
[06:43] <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)
[06:44] <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
[06:45] <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
[06:46] <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
[06:47] <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
[06:48] <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
[06:49] <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
[06:50] <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.
[06:51] <Monica2> head_victim: i actually did get a laptop cooler for it, funnily enough
[06:52] <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
[06:53] <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
[06:54] <Monica2> i don't know if you can make two USB cables come together to make 10 volts?
[06:56] <head_victim> Not sure to be honest
[06:58] <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
[09:55] <head_victim> Any easy way to have mounted /media files show up on the Lubuntu desktop?
[09:58] <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?
[09:59] <bioterror> that's not a solution
[10:00] <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
[10:01] <bioterror> to know the mount situation
[10:02] <head_victim> Yeah I was just looking for something visual and always on
[17:58] <abdelkhalak> hi
[17:59] <abdelkhalak> when i type the command, fdisk -l, i get this error message:
[18:00] <abdelkhalak> Warning: Partition 6 does not end on cylinder boundary.

[19:43] <mauroubel> any recomendation?
[19:43] <mark76> Hmm
[19:43] <mark76> Try Aqualung
[19:44] <mauroubel> it fails too :(
[19:44] <mark76> Hmm Exaile?
[19:45] <mauroubel> installing
[19:45] <mark76> K
[19:46] <mark76> Is the mp3 on your computer?
[19:46] <mauroubel> it is on a folder on the desktop
[19:46] <mark76> So it's not a streaming problem then
[19:50] <mauroubel> k, so i ve installed exaile, it says Playback error encountered! instalation of GStreamer lacks a complement
[19:51] <mark76> Sounds like you need one of the gstreamer plugins
[19:52] <mauroubel> I really apreciate your help mark76
[19:52] <mauroubel> thank you so much!
[19:52] <mauroubel> hahah
[19:52] <mark76> Hahah?
[19:52] <mauroubel> now I'm wondering, what the heck is the problem with the pc
[19:52] <mauroubel> its a hp pavilion dv1000
[19:53] <mauroubel> and we seem to cant find the problemo
[19:53] <mark76> Run Synaptic and look for gstreamer-plugins-bad and ugly
[19:56] <mauroubel> i found gstreamer tools
[19:56] <mauroubel> there's no plugins-bad
[19:56] <mark76> Not Installed
[19:58] <mauroubel> installing
[19:58] <mark76> Do Ugly as well if you haven't got it
[19:59] <mark76> Also ffmpeg
[20:00] <mauroubel> im on it
[20:00] <mauroubel> shouldnt I uninstal alsa?
[20:00] <mark76> Might as well
[20:03] <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
[20:05] <mark76> Okay
[20:05] <mark76> Fair enough
[20:10] <mark76> BRB
[20:13] <mark76> Back
[20:17] <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
[20:18] <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
[20:19] <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
[20:20] <mark76> I know that
[20:41] <mauroubel> it finished installing finally
[20:41] <mark76> K
[20:41] <mark76> Does the mp3 work in Exaile now?
[20:41] <mauroubel> it works
[20:42] <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
[20:43] <kristian-aalborg> if anybody could spot some bloat there and let me know, I'd be glad ;)
[20:44] <mark76> Okay
[20:44] <kristian-aalborg> a bunch of these libs are from rhythmbox - I find it a bit more user-friendly than aqualung
[20:47] <mauroubel> i have news
[20:48] <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?
[20:50] <mauroubel> on audacious stops completely. on aqualung its the same thing as allways, on exaile too
[20:53] <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
[20:57] <mark76> I don't know then
[21:01] <mauroubel> well
[21:01] <mauroubel> thanks for all the help
[21:02] <mark76> No problem
[21:02] <mark76> Try asking on Ubuntu forums
[21:02] <mark76> There's more people there
[21:03] <kristian-aalborg> mauroubel: try vlc player?
[21:03] <mauroubel> should i download vlc player?
[21:03] <mark76> Might as well
[21:06] <kristian-aalborg> it can sometimes fix stuff
[21:06] <mauroubel> ok, im downolading it now
[21:14] <mauroubel> nope, it still does the same thing :(
[21:45] <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
[21:46] <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)
[23:39] <murat> guys I have problem with splash screen
[23:39] <murat> the old workaround does not work anymore
[23:52] <Kurdistan> guys I have problem with my usplash
[23:52] <Kurdistan> it shows ubuntu logo
