[02:57] sure kendrickLeiter :) [02:57] kendrickLeiter: just hack in support -- feh can load over http, so just hack a script or something onto lynx / elinks / links to handle the img type [02:58] all you need to do is snag the tags, read in the src attr, and use that URL as an arg to feh [03:00] hello [03:04] !!Xinerama [03:04] xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display.

[06:22] firewall_03, in evolution: Edit/Plugins/mail-notification. [06:23] I don't use evolution I am running mail-watcher, it was one of the app's I found for the tool bar on xubuntu [06:39] mplayer or play (in the sox package) maybe [06:40] There's aplay which is installed by default I think, but not sure what filetypes it can play. [06:41] espeak "You got mail" [06:44] wow there're a lot of gmail notifiers. [06:44] But why not use evolution? [06:44] lol idk [06:44] I guess I could [06:44] Well no I mean I was just asking :) [06:44] I wasn't telling lol [06:45] I know [06:45] is thunderbird better?

[06:47] bioterror: So can mutt [06:48] And if I'm not near my computer I can check it on my phone. Or if I am I just check it through Chrome. [06:49] how do i turn on laptop mode? [06:49] what mode? [06:49] you can adjust your power settings, right click on the battery icon [06:50] so there's no such thing as a laptop mode? [06:51] you're not using windows, remember [06:51] things are done differently [06:52] ok anyway i have one more issue [06:52] when i attempt to use POWERTOP after 5 seconds my computers goes black [06:53] and i"m forced to reboot by holding in my power button [06:54] Will Mozilla Thunderbird install into the notification panel? [06:55] MrAnthrope: i don't think so, but I am not sure [06:55] I should set up evo... [06:56] john2010, I've never dealth with powertop. if your laptop can suspend/hibernate and resume without a problem, then there must be something with the powertop [07:03] I had suspend/hibernate problems on a sony vaio === jussi01_ is now known as jussi === karthick1987 is now known as karthick87 [14:21] * UndiFineD waves at casandera [14:22] hoi [14:22] hai casandera [14:22] all meet my daughter casandera [14:23] hello [14:26] casandera, go to #ubuntu-beginners-team [15:09] Hey guys [15:10] hi irctest [15:10] welcome to Ubuntu Beginners Channel (: [15:12] Thanks, I just wnat to connect to a remote company server(Ubuntu 10.04), but I it's screen locked and waiting for password, and here I see a dark screen in vinagre, any help? [15:14] I cannot see remote desktop screen. [15:18] hi all [15:19] just installed fresh 10.10 , and i got bootloader problems [15:20] liveCD did not meneged to install bootloader on any of my partitions [15:20] now i cannot boot my machine. [17:30] anyone know how to set the permissions on CD/DVD Drive to check the allow executing file as program [17:40] reaper_: go tp properties of cd/dvd [17:41] reaper_: go to open with and select add and select ur first preferable application [17:42] nothing is their, only gives me the option is when I have a disk in the drive and when I try to check it. it says I cant [18:35] question how does gmount-iso work, I was able to mount first disk with no problem but now I cant get it to move to the second disk, can anyone help me [18:36] reaper_: have you viewed the man page for it [18:37] for gmount [18:37] no [18:43] * nlsthzn spots a RTFM and giggles to himself like a little school girl... [19:07] asterismo, you in? [19:20] good afternoon, something odd happened today when i was checking top, java is showing 154% CPU usage. That doesn't seem possible. Any ideas? [19:20] 154%? [19:20] yep [19:20] well alot of apps use java [19:20] More than one core perhaps? [19:21] hadn't thought of that [19:21] i think it's dual core [19:21] would top show that in that way [19:21] show dual cores? not sure but i think it shows the two as one [19:21] Don't know... the way of the Top is mysterious to me [19:22] TomekaGerena > in? [19:22] at the same time conky was showing about 70% [19:23] Mjiig: pressing '1' in top will expand cores, but 100% usually mean 1 core, so if a process uses 2 cores it'll be shown as 200% [19:23] Can I disable the alt hotkey somehow? I need it to play a game. === yofel_ is now known as yofel [19:24] yofel: thanks [19:25] asterismo, i'm the one that has been having issues with the icon theme. [19:25] Mjiig: 70%*2 ~ 150%... sounds about right :) [19:26] doez: whatever application uses the hotkey option is where you change it [19:26] ah [19:26] yeah [19:26] could you fix that? [19:26] stlsaint: No I get the options "Minimize, maximize etc etc" in every application. [19:26] nope. [19:27] TomekaGerena > do this [19:27] 1) open a nautilus file manager [19:27] 2) go to your user folder [19:27] hit Ctrl+H to see hidden files and folders [19:28] seek the folder .icons [19:28] doez: System->Keyboard Shortcuts [19:28] asterismo, empty folder [19:28] go in it, and then uncompress the FaenzaGreen .tar.gz file in that folder [19:29] it should show now a FaenzaGreen folder [19:29] now, delete the .tar.gz [19:29] stlsaint: Thank you. [19:29] go to appearences and hit your theme, and choose customize, go to the icon tab and search for your icons [19:29] and you're done [19:31] well, i may not have the option, but it appears the icons have changed [19:32] unless its supposed to be called different [19:34] do you have Ubuntu and GNOME installed? [19:34] default ubnutu installation [19:34] because in appereance [19:35] you have 3 buttons at the bottom [19:35] yeah [19:35] save as, costomize, and install [19:35] i got that [19:35] i hit customize [19:35] go to icons [19:35] choose the icons tab [19:35] and scroll down to the Faenza, [19:36] i don't have a faenza option [19:36] what is selected, is Clearlooks [19:36] but you uncompressed the FaenzaGreen folder into /home/username/.icons [19:36] right? [19:36] yes, and the icons changed [19:36] so i'm asking should it be showing as clearlooks, or faenza [19:37] clearlooks is a GTK theme [19:37] that is the controls tab [19:37] when hitting customize, you have several superior tabs [19:37] controls, Colors, Window Border, Icons, etc [19:38] bah shit [19:38] change to icon tab [19:38] ok, [19:38] my bad [19:38] it should be there [19:38] yeah... ok, i see it now [19:38] my mistake [19:38] TomekaGerena > anyway there is a better way to do it [19:39] in the main appearence window, you just need to hit "install" button, and select the FaenzaGreen.tar.gz, it automatically recognize that as a new icon theme and ask you if you want to apply the new theme [19:40] yeah.. it wasn't doing it for me [19:40] so yeah [19:40] so do that with future icon themes, it should work [19:40] going to .icon folder and uncompress mannually there is just the manual way, or hacker way, lol [19:41] glad it helped [19:41] no worries... just glad to have it done [19:41] enjoy the theme [19:42] TomekaGerena > you can also install the GTK theme, doing something similar manually but in the .theme folder [19:43] It makes the FaenzaGreen icons looks better, any dark theme would do === colonel_panic is now known as iceflatline [20:01] hi ppl [20:07] is there anyone here who might be able to help my configure my framebuffer correctly? [20:09] No idea what that is, sorry. [20:20] kristian-aalborg: what do you want to set? [20:20] yofel: hi [20:20] MrAnthrope: honesty is nice ;) [20:22] the skinny is that I have a dual (acutally quadropple (sp)) boot - I like to have full resolution in my terminal, so I added some stuff to 00_header and /etc/default/grub - but now I can't load my other OS, Slitaz [20:22] kristian-aalborg: lol, yea you spelled that all jacked up [20:22] also, I suspect that my settings are done wrong, because the box seems too slow [20:23] four-times boot, alright? [20:23] ;) [20:23] kristian-aalborg: boot to grub commandline, run vbeinfo to get what's possible and set 'GRUB_GFXMODE' and maybe 'GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX' in /etc/default/grub [20:24] I have [20:24] GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800 [20:24] GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1280x800x32 [20:24] for example [20:24] yofel: will try, hang on [20:25] my native res is 1600x900 but for some reason the vesa fb doesn't support that for my card :( [20:26] I get something that says configured VBE mode = 0x101 [20:27] yeah, you can give that has a hex value too, vbeinfo will show what you *can* set, setting something that's not supported will prevent booting [20:27] now I'm running vbetest... looks trippy [20:27] s/has/as/ [20:30] 0x116 or 0x117 seems to be what I want [20:34] yofel: this is in 00_header or in /default/grub?+ [20:34] ? [20:35] why would you change 00_header? only set things in /etc/default/grub, changing stuff in /etc/grub.2 has great breakage potential [20:35] yofel: I was following some forum post somewhere [20:36] badhacks.org/forum is perhaps not the best place to look ;) [20:36] lmao [20:36] if that post set 'vbe=...' then that's rather old, not sure if that syntax still works [20:36] Still no idea what's going on but "s/has/as/" made me giggle. [20:37] MrAnthrope: that meant: replace has with as in my last sentence :P [20:37] Oh yeah I got that part. All the other stuff -- no idea. [20:38] should I have insmod vbe somewhere? [20:38] MrAnthrope: and the framebuffer is what shows the ttys when X isn't running, meaning what you see when you go to ctrl+alt+f2 [20:39] !dict ttys [20:39] kristian-aalborg: no, the scripts take care of that when you set gfxmode or gfxpayload [20:39] Factoid 'dict ttys' not found [20:39] !ttys [20:39] To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [20:39] take the framebuffer as text mode graphic driver (very basic one) [20:40] Is there hardware that is actively developed for Linux? [20:40] I have GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD but not GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX [20:40] how do I remove files from the filesystem and the home dir that are locked [20:40] erm, as long as there are linux drivers you can use any hardware for linux [20:40] MrAnthrope: the Android Phone? [20:40] also, there are computers out there built with linux in mind [20:40] kristian-aalborg: payload isn't there by default, it's somewhere in the depths of the grub documentation [20:40] !grub2 | kristian-aalborg [20:41] kristian-aalborg: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [20:41] it's there afaik [20:41] I have an android, but I meant computers heh. I build computers. Going to build another one for Linux. [20:41] yofel: can you paste your /default/grub? [20:42] MrAnthrope: there's lists of supported HW out there [20:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/546094/ [20:43] gracias [20:43] * kristian-aalborg crosses fingers [20:44] bugger, I lost the correct resolution [20:47] http://pastebin.com/RNPfVYqS [20:53] the hex codes don't seem to work for me [20:56] well, vbeinfo tells you the resolution values too, so just use that [21:00] holy smoke... my screen just turned red slowly [21:00] is it a crt ? [21:01] kristian-aalborg, ? [21:01] no... it's very old [21:01] http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:770 [21:01] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vga=795" - I did something like this [21:02] from official ubuntu documentation [21:04] Like when you get hit in Modern Warfare? [21:04] You've been shot, duck! [21:06] how do I remove files from the filesystem and the home dir that are locked? [21:07] Your home dir shouldn't have locked files in it. [21:08] MrAnthrope: actually, something like that [21:08] You should be able to right click those and go to properties and I think there's a permissions tab. [21:08] kristian-aalborg: DUCK!!! [21:08] ;) [21:09] it does [21:09] but your filesystem is locked for a reason and that's a bit harder to delete files from. I'm not sure I can explain how to do that. CLI stuff. [21:09] yeah I know that [21:09] the files that I want to remove are from a game im trying to install but its not working [21:10] Now you've piqued my interest. :) [21:10] ? [21:10] What game? [21:10] doom 3 [21:11] reaper_: how did you install it? or do you mean 'permission denied' with 'locked' ? [21:11] Are you using wine? [21:11] kristian-aalborg: the official grub2 documentation? [21:11] I mean https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - since any grub1 documentation is invalid for grub2 [21:12] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution [21:12] nope, ubuntu - still rather bad [21:12] I downloaded the doom3-linux-1.1.3.1304.x86.run from id and installed it that way in 3 different locations on my hard drive and now I cant do what I need to do [21:12] vga= is gone, as I understand it [21:13] MrAnthrope, no dont think im using wine [21:13] Oh I didn't know doom 3 was linux native. [21:13] not sure then, I remember grub2 giving 'setting vbe= is deprecated' messages in karmic though so I stopped using that, stopped working for me anyway back then [21:14] er, 'setting vga= is deprecated', been a long time [21:14] yes - but look at the link! [21:14] if anyone here can edit, please do so! Mark will thank you! [21:15] MrAnthrope, yeah I have installed it before and never had a problem but for some reason its not work and Doom 3 runs better in linux than win [21:16] I think if you go to your terminal and type sudo nautilus you can navigate to the folder where you installed the game and delete it from there. I'm not sure that will work though. [21:16] well, that's community documentation so anyone with a wiki acc. can change that, would need some investigation though, as I think payload is only supported since lucid [21:16] MrAnthrope, Ill give it a try [21:19] if you run nautilus with sudo you can delete pretty much everything, better would be to run 'sudo chown $USER:$USER -R $HOME' and then delete them without sudo [21:19] if you installed it in your home folder, if not you'll have to use sudo anyway [21:19] Yeah that's the CLI stuff I was saying I couldn't explain how to do :) [21:20] I just know never type sudo apt-get remove plymouth :D [21:21] ok got them all deleted [21:21] thanks [21:21] Cool, that actually worked? [21:21] Shot in the dark. [21:22] you never know until you try [21:22] MrAnthrope: that wouldn't work anyway, unless you explicitely force apt to remove half of the system [21:24] Yup. [21:24] Have done it. [21:24] oh, my condolences [21:24] Someone told me to :) [21:24] "But why is it removing chrome?" "...you can reinstall it." [21:24] well, it *did* work back in lucid I think, but then they mad that mandatory [21:25] *made [21:25] Yeah it wasn't malicious. They didn't know it would delete half my computer either lol. [21:25] Luckily I had *just* installed it. So no loss. [21:25] Just re-installed. [21:29] yes I got it to work [21:29] \o/ [21:30] their needs to be a easy way to play games on linux [21:31] Amen [21:31] ANet actively develops Guild Wars to work in wine. It was easier to install GW on Linux than it was Windows. [21:31] Though I had to do some tweaking to get the graphics settings right for my old computer :( [21:32] I still cant get WoW to install [21:32] havent ever played guild wars [21:32] I'm hoping Guild Wars 2 will also be actively developed for wine. [21:32] hopeful [21:33] It's not WoW but it's fun. [21:33] yofel: I still think something's amiss - I have to be SU to open fbi, for instance [21:33] I personally don't enjoy grinding. I give up after 5 minutes. [21:33] I wish game developers would take the time like id did and do a linux install [21:33] So I played WoW in 5 minute intervals for a month and I was like ... this is stupid why am I paying for something I don't want to do. [21:34] kristian-aalborg: what's fbi? [21:34] Ive been trying to get a number of games to work for 2 or 3 days now [21:34] a picture viewer for the terminal - it's rather cool, actually ;) [21:34] GW and GW2 don't have monthly membership requirements. You buy the game, you own it forever. [21:34] !fbi [21:34] Factoid 'fbi' not found [21:34] It took me 3 days to get Dungeons & Dragons Online working. [21:34] stupid ubot2 [21:35] lol kristian-aalborg :) [21:35] *shrug*, I haven't used ttys for anything other than text [21:35] also it's [21:35] !info fbi [21:35] yofel: fbi (source: fbi): Linux frame buffer image viewer. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.07-3 (maverick), package size 54 kB, installed size 180 kB [21:35] well thats good I might have to look into them then [21:35] tada [21:35] yofel: CLI is fun [21:35] DDO is completely free to play. They have an in game store and some of the content is purchase only. And you only get 2 character slots per server. [21:35] sure, but I still prefer X :P [21:36] But you can pay $15 a month if you want and they give you some junk. [21:36] does it work in linux [21:36] It's a bit of work, but yeah. [21:36] There's also a linux guild on the Sarlona server called Tux Familiar. [21:37] ive been trying for days to get lsat chaos to work and now we are not seeing eye to eye [21:37] The game itself works just fine except voice chat. The launcher is the problem. The launcher does not work at all, so there is a linux native launcher. [21:38] for what [21:38] DDO [21:38] ok [21:38] Never heard of Last Chaos. [21:38] its a free mmo from aeriagames [21:39] If you look on WineHQ for Dungeons and Dragons Online there is a lot of info there. [21:39] I played an aeria game once... [21:39] can't remember the name of it. But it was really dumb lol [21:39] yeah that is a lot of the other one but it doesnt work for me [21:39] right [21:40] The problem is game developers target windows because it's a larger audience. [21:41] And it would cost money to develop for another OS. [21:41] yeah that maybe true but i would like to be able to choose and they may fine that they have more people play their games on linux than win [21:42] and for the people that are only staying on win to play games can come home [21:44] too linux [21:44] hehe [21:47] what its true [21:48] If more people start using Ubuntu, maybe. [21:49] maybe [21:52] yofel: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Custom_Menu - does this seem ok to you? [21:55] Oh by the way reaper_ the launcher for DDO is called pyLOTR [21:55] If you were interested. [21:57] ok thanks ill check it out o and btw been does guild wars 2 come out [21:57] No release date yet. [21:57] "soon" [21:58] ok thanks [22:16] holy smokes.... links2 graphical might be the fastest "real" browser I've seen! [22:55] Hello. [22:56] Silver_Fox_: Hi *waves* [22:56] Hello nlsthzn [22:59] How are you? [23:02] Silver_Fox_: Always good, and yourself? [23:02] I am fine thank you [23:09] kristian-aalborg: doesn't look wrong at first sight, but haven't tried something like that yet [23:10] thanks [23:10] * kristian-aalborg is out
