| ChinnoDog | anyone know how I might be able to start a remote X session and launch only gnome-panel without the desktop? I am connecting using NX from Windows. | 02:47 |
| ChinnoDog | ooh. If I run /usr/bin/gnome-panel it will launch but then some of the applets crash | 02:49 |
| jthan | ChinnoDog: I feel like jedijf would be best to answer that. | 03:11 |
| jthan | Why do you want to launch gnome-panel remotely? | 03:11 |
| jthan | I only said about jedijf because everytime I had a remote session question, or talked about x forwarding, he knew the answer. | 03:12 |
| ChinnoDog | The visual styling isn't working either. I also tried running /usr/bin/xinit but I get the same thing. No visual styling is applied to gnome-panel though. | 03:12 |
| ChinnoDog | If I run /etc/X11/Xsession I get gnome-panel with visual styling but also get the desktop and a bazillion little title bars without any windows attached to them. | 03:18 |
| ChinnoDog | I can't figure it out | 03:51 |
| * ChinnoDog headdesk | 03:51 | |
| ChinnoDog | What provides the visual styling? The window manager? I don't know how that gets launched. | 03:53 |
| jthan | ChinnoDog: umm.. | 04:04 |
| jthan | metacity-replace :-P | 04:04 |
| * jthan doesn't think you can run that one remotely | 04:04 | |
| ChinnoDog | I think gnome-session might be the key | 04:48 |
| ChinnoDog | it IS gnome-session | 05:10 |
| ChinnoDog | if I pstree I can see it | 05:10 |
| jedijf | jthan: you don't have to qualify recommending me......or do you? :P | 14:57 |
| andrew | Do we really need Boxbe invites via the list? | 15:00 |
| jedijf | seriously | 15:01 |
| jedijf | central pa folk iirc | 15:01 |
| andrew | honestly, once is one thing, but twice? | 15:02 |
| mikedep333 | anybody have a recommendation for a screen recorder for windows? I'm preparing tutorial videos for the museum I volunteer for. Right now I'm using camstudio, but it's rough around the edges. At least it can create flash animations (which save tons of space compared to video files.) | 15:16 |
| mikedep333 | also, windows 7 has psr.exe | 15:17 |
| mikedep333 | which is nice | 15:17 |
| mikedep333 | http://camstudio.org/ | 15:17 |
| JonathanD | I typically have used camstudio :) | 15:17 |
| mikedep333 | http://www.istartedsomething.com/20090111/windows-7-problem-steps-recorder-miracle-tool/ | 15:17 |
| mikedep333 | JonathanD, yeah | 15:18 |
| mikedep333 | I'm using the oct2010 beta version | 15:18 |
| JonathanD | and then go back and reduce the file using other tools | 15:18 |
| mikedep333 | by default, it does 300FPS for the videos | 15:18 |
| mikedep333 | which made them huge | 15:18 |
| mikedep333 | I set it down to 15 | 15:18 |
| mikedep333 | it has an flash animation convertor | 15:18 |
| JonathanD | I prefer the huge files, lets me tinker without re-recording | 15:18 |
| mikedep333 | yeah | 15:18 |
| mikedep333 | so amazon.com makes you use their MP3 downloader to download the MP3's you purchase from them (at least for albums, maybe not for individual songs) | 15:19 |
| mikedep333 | at least they have a linux version | 15:19 |
| mikedep333 | I presume that there isn't any DRM on the MP3's once downloaded (I think DRM isn't even possible with MP3's) | 15:20 |

| mikedep333 | JonathanD, do you have a recommmendation for an IRC client for windows? | 15:21 |
| mikedep333 | right now I'm using an xchat build called ychat | 15:21 |
| JonathanD | irssi running somewhere else ;) | 15:21 |
| mikedep333 | it seems to work best out of those I've tried | 15:21 |
| mikedep333 | lol | 15:21 |
| mikedep333 | I generally prefer to avoid CLI apps for things like IRC | 15:21 |
| JonathanD | I have too many windows for a gui client. | 15:21 |
| mikedep333 | yeah | 15:22 |
| JonathanD | one of these days I'll try to make one myself that works a bit differently. | 15:22 |
| JonathanD | xchat is probably the most usable gui client. | 15:22 |
| JonathanD | although MS comic chat is clearly a close second. | 15:23 |

| mikedep333 | wow | 15:24 |
| mikedep333 | irssi.org has that on its frontpage | 15:24 |
| mikedep333 | this is going to my youtube list | 15:25 |

| JonathanD | hah | 15:28 |
| JonathanD | I'm on a boat! | 15:28 |
| mikedep333 | gonna update the software on my Dad's GPS | 15:30 |
| mikedep333 | from windows of course, It's a Garmin | 15:30 |
| mikedep333 | it's probably worth no more than $50 now, but to update the maps (not just the software) costs like $100 | 15:30 |
| andrew | jthan: So, what did you get at The Clymb? | 16:47 |
| andrew | If anyone else is interested in The Clymb, have an invite: http://www.theclymb.com/invite-from/AndrewKeyes | 16:48 |
| SamuraiAlba | Good bacon to all! | 17:19 |
| rhpot1991 | mikedep333: you can normally get lifetime update cards for cheaper on amazon | 18:48 |
| rhpot1991 | I got one for 50 or so | 18:48 |
| ChinnoDog | hello BeckySanderlin`x | 19:34 |
| ChinnoDog | Anyone here use DigiKam to organize their photos? | 22:16 |
| SamuraiAlba | Good bacon to all! | 22:32 |
| ChinnoDog | ... | 22:33 |
| SamuraiAlba | Wassup, ChinnoDog? | 22:34 |
| ChinnoDog | Trying to figure out if there is a safe way to add a ppa with latest version of DigiKam but not allow installation of any of the other packages in the PPA | 22:35 |
| SamuraiAlba | Not sure. | 22:35 |
| andrew | just down the deb from the ppa? | 22:35 |
| SamuraiAlba | I havent received updates for ubuntu in 2 weeks. Were there any? | 22:35 |
| andrew | philly parking authority? | 22:36 |
| ChinnoDog | andrew: but a) what about dependencies and b) then I won't get updates | 22:36 |
| andrew | ChinnoDog: true | 22:36 |
| ChinnoDog | I want to block all packages except the one I want | 22:36 |
| andrew | dependencies should be easy, but updates will be a pain | 22:36 |
| andrew | dunno, haven't had that problem yet | 22:36 |
| andrew | i'd google, but I need to head home | 22:36 |
| SamuraiAlba | I want the n900 *sniffle* | 22:36 |

| andrew | ChinnoDog: #3 makes me think you aren't alone in that desire: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/19915/ | 22:37 |
| ChinnoDog | So, that probably means I can't do it... | 22:39 |
| ChinnoDog | :-( | 22:39 |
| ChinnoDog | Newest in Maverick repos is 1.4, latest is 1.7 | 22:43 |
| ChinnoDog | Apparently it appears in PPAs on a regular basis. It makes me wonder why official repos don't get updated. | 22:44 |
| ChinnoDog | I added repo, installed select packages, and then removed it | 23:04 |
| pleia2 | official repos only get security and major bug fixes after release, not new versions of the package | 23:10 |
| pleia2 | that's why PPAs exist :) | 23:10 |
| ChinnoDog | The official repo is 3 versions behind though | 23:11 |
| ChinnoDog | Oh. You mean that 10.10 will never have > 1.4 because that is what was available at release time | 23:11 |
| pleia2 | 1.3 was current whem maverick froze | 23:12 |
| pleia2 | yes | 23:12 |
| pleia2 | but freeze time is long before release | 23:12 |
| pleia2 | so it's what was current in august | 23:12 |
| pleia2 | 1.4 didn't come out until august 28th, after freeze | 23:12 |
| pleia2 | er, 25th | 23:13 |
| pleia2 | freeze was early august | 23:13 |
| ChinnoDog | So if you want newer packages the best thing is to have an official ppa? | 23:13 |
| ChinnoDog | meaning official for the package, not Ubuntu official | 23:13 |
| pleia2 | depends on the package, if you trust upstream to write good packages, sure | 23:14 |
| pleia2 | it's not always a safe assumption though :) | 23:14 |
| ChinnoDog | k. got it. | 23:15 |
| jedijf | see why ya need a farm | 23:17 |
