error21what`s the problem with k3b,write success but nothing on cd00:03
nicofsHow many installed packaged does a normal linux have after removin all GUI (gdm, X11, xfce, Gnome ...)?01:40
nicofsOr: How much can i remove via aptitude, before i ruin my system...?01:41
TheSheepnicofs: there is no 'normal linux'01:47
TheSheeplinux is a kernel, that's one package01:47
TheSheepthe rest of the operating system are various other programs and utilities, some coming from GNU, some from BSD, some from other sources01:48
psycho_oreosand you can't just run on solely one package unless you intend to talk to kernel in mostly ASM01:48
nicofscertainly not...01:48
TheSheepbut you can use different sets of the utilities, they are all interchangeable01:49
nicofsbut seeing as something is very wrong with my current system... i though: just remove all except the bare necessities and then start again...01:49
TheSheepfor example Android...01:49
TheSheepnicofs: what is wrong?01:49
nicofsall... my graphical user interface wouldn't start anymore after i tried to compile and install gtk+2.2201:51
TheSheepwhat does it say?01:51
nicofsnothing. i get a screen with a movable mouse on it - for abaout a second - and then it's gone...01:52
TheSheepwhat's in the logs?01:53
TheSheep/var/log/Xorg.0.log and ~/.xsessionerrors01:53
nicofshang on... i'll check01:54
nicofsi have xorg.0.log open... what am i looking?01:57
TheSheepsearch for EE01:58
TheSheepor just look at the end01:58
nicofsddxSigGiveUp: Closing log.02:02

syutchkin69yes thank you!14:21
TheSheepbut it's ok to say hello in any language you want14:22
syutchkin69lol okay14:22

aicasnis the 'exec' in the correct position for this command? SOME_ENV_VAR=value exec /path/to/command15:26
nicofsis there a way to build .deb packages by oneself?15:51
TheSheepsure, there is even a channel devoted to teaching people how to do that15:53
TheSheep!motu15:53
ubottumotu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU15:53
nicofsok... will try to ascend there...15:53
nicofsthe thing is: when i tried to compile and install a program not so long ago, i wrecked my system... and now i'm looking for possibilities to do that in a way i can restore my system if it goes wrong... because honestly, i don't exactly understand where a package ends up after make install - and how to get rid of it, if it was wrong...15:56
gr8m8aicasn:  sometimes apps come with the uninstall option16:01
gr8m8oops16:01
gr8m8that was for nicofs16:01
aicasncan see how you could mistake us... :/16:01
gr8m8aicasn:  I was going to say normsally it is something like   export BROWSER=/usr/bin/firefox    to set a env variable16:02
gr8m8what are you trying to do?16:03
aicasnyeah that's the way i ended up doing it.  would like to know the one-line version, though, so i don't have to clear the var after the command16:03
gr8m8you do like I suggested on one like - what's the multiple line way that you did?16:04
aicasnexport VAR=value;   docommand;  unset VAR16:05
gr8m8ok16:05
aicasneh....  exec docommand16:05
aicasnwould rather have   VAR=value exec docommand   correct syntax16:05
charlie-tcaaicasn: most commands should have a command line method of passing that variable, as in16:08
charlie-tcaexec docommand --value16:08
charlie-tcaand then you don't have to set and unset the variable for a one-time use16:09
ToxaHello everybody! Need help16:30
charlie-tcaPlease ask your question all in one line. All of us are volunteers and will attempt to answer if we know.16:31
ToxaSome body can help me with keyboard settings?16:31
ToxaI has problem. When I repeatedly pres any button on keyboard its not working, only singlee pres. What to do? Thanks16:32
charlie-tcaToxa: is your preferences set for key repeat? Applications -> Settings -> Xfce 4 Settings Manager -> Keyboard16:34
charlie-tcaBehavior tab has a place that needs to be checked for keyboard repeat16:35
ToxaYes. But when I just hold the button - everything work properly. Only when for example I push 2-3 times arrows button in firefox or etc it`s not work16:36
Toxaor when I try to del letters while i am typing. One pres del one letter. Two pres still del one letter. sorry for my poor english16:38
charlie-tcaDid you try changing repeat delay or repeat speed in Keyboard?16:40
charlie-tcado you have accessibility enabled? There is an option in Accessibility to prevent "bounce keys", which will have that effect16:41
ToxaHow do I change the delay between repeated keystrokes because it is very long? Time passes before the keyboard responds again on the next push. That`s the problem. I just can`t explain it in English16:43
ToxaHow and where set accessibility enabled?16:45
charlie-tca Applications -> Settings -> Xfce 4 Settings Manager -> Accessibility -> Keyboard16:46
charlie-tca Applications -> Settings -> Xfce 4 Settings Manager -> Accessibility -> Keyboard, Behavior Tab, Repeat speed16:47
ToxaThank you very much! Now it`s work properly! Thank you milion times!  Mange tak!(Danish)16:48
charlie-tcaYou are welcome16:48
ToxaSorry! One more problem: web camers Logitech C270 HD. Camera work properly but integrated microphone in this camera is not work. What `s the problem? Google and forums doesn`t help16:53
charlie-tcaNow we have to wait for someone that knows webcams to come along. I can't help with them16:55
ShootEmUpHello Everyone!17:03
ShootEmUpHello Again!17:41
ToxaLogitech C270 HD webcam. Integrated microphone doesn`t work. Need help17:44
TheSheep!doesn't work | Toxa17:48
ubottuToxa: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.17:48
ToxaOk. Sorry for my incorrect.  When I try use Skype my interlocutor can see me but can`t hear me. and in all other applications microphone doesn`t seems to work17:52
TheSheepToxa: maybe try one of those:17:57
TheSheep!skype17:57
ubottuTo install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga17:57
TheSheepToxa: also, install pavucontrol and see if you can enable the microphone in it17:57
TheSheepToxa: is that an usb microphone?17:57
TheSheepToxa: if so, see if lsusb lists it17:57
ToxaNo, its not usb microphone, it`s just integrated in webcam. Logitech C270HD17:58
TheSheepis that webcam connected through usb?17:59
TheSheepor is there a separate jack fro the microphone?17:59
ToxaYes. Webcam connected trough usb. Bus 001 Device 007: ID 046d:0825 Logitech, Inc.18:00
TheSheepthen it's an usb microphone18:00
ToxaAnd no separate jack for mic18:00
TheSheeplsusb should list it as a separate device18:00

Toxasorry. I am noob in IRc18:02
TheSheepno problem, just saying :)18:02
ToxaSo you can see that no mic there. Just one thing from Logitech18:02
TheSheepactually I'm not sure if it should be listed as a separate device18:02
TheSheepdid you install pavucontrol?18:03
Toxasudo apt-get install pavucontrol???18:03
TheSheepyes18:03
TheSheepit should have 'default source' in the menu18:04
TheSheepyou should be able to see and choose your microphone on the list there18:04
ToxaIt`s must be in Input devices?18:05
TheSheepI think so18:05
ToxaOnly Analog Microphone and nothing more to choose^(18:06
TheSheepokso it seems that the system doesn't see it as a device :(18:07
ToxaSomething like this. But I can`t see any information about what to do with this?18:07
ToxaI mean ccan`t find any info18:08
TheSheepI found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=50729218:09
TheSheepand this: http://www.blog.highub.com/linux/make-logitech-usb-microphone-work-on-ubuntu/18:09
TheSheepdoesn't help much though18:09
TheSheepyou might want to ask on #ubuntu, btw18:09
ToxaThank`s for help! I try to ask somewhere more18:10

charlie-tca!tcp18:43
connecteduserhm?18:44
connecteduserthat was one helpful answer18:45
charlie-tcaheh, was hoping the 'bot knew more than me about it.18:45
charlie-tcaapparently, that is not something I do18:46

BigGreenCanoequick question, where did they hide the boot file that sets the startup mode (graphic -v- text)?21:19
MaccerHey, can somebody at #xubuntu help me with an #ubuntu problem? Sorry I'm asking to ask, but it's the wrong channel and I'm... frankly a little desperate. It's actually more of a kernel-related issue.21:21
BigGreenCanoeMacer: maybe21:21
BigGreenCanoewhat's the issue?21:21
MaccerBigGreenCanoe: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=166336521:22
MaccerThanks by the way. :)21:22
BigGreenCanoeI'll be back in a bit, let me take a look.21:22
MaccerAlrighty.21:23
BigGreenCanoemaccer: Hang on Boot thread?21:28
MaccerBigGreenCanoe: Yup (http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1663365)21:28
MaccerSomebody told me it might be because Ubuntu can't read my hard-drive's drivers, but the weird thing is, it boots in about 1/20 times.21:29
BigGreenCanoeit sounds like a driver issue, but I'm afraid that's all I can tell21:30
MaccerHrm, okay then, thanks for the help anyways, BigGreenCanoe! :)21:30
BigGreenCanoeMaccer: You might look at this: http://kerneltrap.org/node/1491921:32
BigGreenCanoeIt's 3 years old, but may offer some help.21:32
MaccerMaybe I need to go try something like libata, but I have no idea on how to retrieve it.21:38
BigGreenCanoewish I could help more, but my kernel experience is rather dated.21:39
