| nicofs | How many installed packaged does a normal linux have after removin all GUI (gdm, X11, xfce, Gnome ...)? | 01:40 |
| nicofs | Or: How much can i remove via aptitude, before i ruin my system...? | 01:41 |
| TheSheep | nicofs: there is no 'normal linux' | 01:47 |
| TheSheep | linux is a kernel, that's one package | 01:47 |
| TheSheep | the rest of the operating system are various other programs and utilities, some coming from GNU, some from BSD, some from other sources | 01:48 |
| psycho_oreos | and you can't just run on solely one package unless you intend to talk to kernel in mostly ASM | 01:48 |
| nicofs | certainly not... | 01:48 |
| TheSheep | but you can use different sets of the utilities, they are all interchangeable | 01:49 |
| nicofs | but 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 |
| TheSheep | for example Android... | 01:49 |
| TheSheep | nicofs: what is wrong? | 01:49 |
| nicofs | all... my graphical user interface wouldn't start anymore after i tried to compile and install gtk+2.22 | 01:51 |
| TheSheep | what does it say? | 01:51 |
| nicofs | nothing. i get a screen with a movable mouse on it - for abaout a second - and then it's gone... | 01:52 |
| TheSheep | what's in the logs? | 01:53 |
| TheSheep | /var/log/Xorg.0.log and ~/.xsessionerrors | 01:53 |
| nicofs | hang on... i'll check | 01:54 |
| nicofs | i have xorg.0.log open... what am i looking? | 01:57 |
| TheSheep | search for EE | 01:58 |
| TheSheep | or just look at the end | 01:58 |
| nicofs | ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log. | 02:02 |
| TheSheep | that doesn't explain anything | 02:02 |
| TheSheep | I have to go to sleep, sorry | 02:02 |
| TheSheep | 3am here | 02:03 |
| nicofs | here as well... need to go to the airport... | 02:08 |
| sleek | is there a way to configure the location of my libnotify popups? | 06:34 |
| _6i | hi, how do i set default program for execution according to file extension in linux? | 06:51 |

| syutchkin69 | salve a tutti | 14:20 |
| TheSheep | !it | 14:20 |
| ubottu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 14:20 |
| syutchkin69 | oh well I'm so sorry... | 14:21 |
| TheSheep | why are you sorry? | 14:21 |
| TheSheep | I just thought you are looking for help in Italian :P | 14:21 |
| syutchkin69 | 'cause I spoke in italian... just confused... >.< | 14:21 |
| syutchkin69 | yes thank you! | 14:21 |
| TheSheep | but it's ok to say hello in any language you want | 14:22 |
| syutchkin69 | lol okay | 14:22 |
| syutchkin69 | anyway I'm installing xubuntu 10.10 on my eeepc 701 | 14:23 |
| syutchkin69 | do you think that, is a good idea? | 14:23 |
| TheSheep | never had an eeepc | 14:23 |
| syutchkin69 | mmmh okay | 14:24 |
| knome | xubuntu works well on eeepc's | 14:24 |
| syutchkin69 | for now is going well... | 14:24 |
| syutchkin69 | (installation) | 14:24 |
| syutchkin69 | which distribution do you use? | 14:27 |
| knome | xubuntu, obviously | 14:27 |
| syutchkin69 | lol I imagined it... | 14:28 |
| syutchkin69 | I currently use arch on my desktop computer, but I decided yesterday to install xubuntu on my netbook! | 14:30 |
| syutchkin69 | I hope that it works well... | 14:30 |
| aicasn | is the 'exec' in the correct position for this command? SOME_ENV_VAR=value exec /path/to/command | 15:26 |
| nicofs | is there a way to build .deb packages by oneself? | 15:51 |
| TheSheep | sure, there is even a channel devoted to teaching people how to do that | 15:53 |
| TheSheep | !motu | 15:53 |
| ubottu | motu 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/MOTU | 15:53 |
| nicofs | ok... will try to ascend there... | 15:53 |
| nicofs | the 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 |
| gr8m8 | aicasn: sometimes apps come with the uninstall option | 16:01 |
| gr8m8 | oops | 16:01 |
| gr8m8 | that was for nicofs | 16:01 |
| aicasn | can see how you could mistake us... :/ | 16:01 |
| gr8m8 | aicasn: I was going to say normsally it is something like export BROWSER=/usr/bin/firefox to set a env variable | 16:02 |
| gr8m8 | what are you trying to do? | 16:03 |
| aicasn | yeah 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 command | 16:03 |
| gr8m8 | you do like I suggested on one like - what's the multiple line way that you did? | 16:04 |
| aicasn | export VAR=value; docommand; unset VAR | 16:05 |
| gr8m8 | ok | 16:05 |
| aicasn | eh.... exec docommand | 16:05 |
| aicasn | would rather have VAR=value exec docommand correct syntax | 16:05 |
| charlie-tca | aicasn: most commands should have a command line method of passing that variable, as in | 16:08 |
| charlie-tca | exec docommand --value | 16:08 |
| charlie-tca | and then you don't have to set and unset the variable for a one-time use | 16:09 |
| Toxa | Hello everybody! Need help | 16:30 |
| charlie-tca | Please ask your question all in one line. All of us are volunteers and will attempt to answer if we know. | 16:31 |
| Toxa | Some body can help me with keyboard settings? | 16:31 |
| Toxa | I has problem. When I repeatedly pres any button on keyboard its not working, only singlee pres. What to do? Thanks | 16:32 |
| charlie-tca | Toxa: is your preferences set for key repeat? Applications -> Settings -> Xfce 4 Settings Manager -> Keyboard | 16:34 |
| charlie-tca | Behavior tab has a place that needs to be checked for keyboard repeat | 16:35 |
| Toxa | Yes. 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 work | 16:36 |
| Toxa | or 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 english | 16:38 |
| charlie-tca | Did you try changing repeat delay or repeat speed in Keyboard? | 16:40 |
| charlie-tca | do you have accessibility enabled? There is an option in Accessibility to prevent "bounce keys", which will have that effect | 16:41 |
| Toxa | How 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 English | 16:43 |
| Toxa | How and where set accessibility enabled? | 16:45 |
| charlie-tca | Applications -> Settings -> Xfce 4 Settings Manager -> Accessibility -> Keyboard | 16:46 |
| charlie-tca | Applications -> Settings -> Xfce 4 Settings Manager -> Accessibility -> Keyboard, Behavior Tab, Repeat speed | 16:47 |
| Toxa | Thank you very much! Now it`s work properly! Thank you milion times! Mange tak!(Danish) | 16:48 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 16:48 |
| Toxa | Sorry! 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 help | 16:53 |
| charlie-tca | Now we have to wait for someone that knows webcams to come along. I can't help with them | 16:55 |
| ShootEmUp | Hello Everyone! | 17:03 |
| ShootEmUp | Hello Again! | 17:41 |
| Toxa | Logitech C270 HD webcam. Integrated microphone doesn`t work. Need help | 17:44 |
| TheSheep | !doesn't work | Toxa | 17:48 |
| ubottu | Toxa: 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 |
| Toxa | Ok. 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 work | 17:52 |
| TheSheep | Toxa: maybe try one of those: | 17:57 |
| TheSheep | !skype | 17:57 |
| ubottu | To 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 !Ekiga | 17:57 |
| TheSheep | Toxa: also, install pavucontrol and see if you can enable the microphone in it | 17:57 |
| TheSheep | Toxa: is that an usb microphone? | 17:57 |
| TheSheep | Toxa: if so, see if lsusb lists it | 17:57 |
| Toxa | No, its not usb microphone, it`s just integrated in webcam. Logitech C270HD | 17:58 |
| TheSheep | is that webcam connected through usb? | 17:59 |
| TheSheep | or is there a separate jack fro the microphone? | 17:59 |
| Toxa | Yes. Webcam connected trough usb. Bus 001 Device 007: ID 046d:0825 Logitech, Inc. | 18:00 |
| TheSheep | then it's an usb microphone | 18:00 |
| Toxa | And no separate jack for mic | 18:00 |
| TheSheep | lsusb should list it as a separate device | 18:00 |
| connecteduser | guys, how do you enable the tcp listen function in xorg? | 18:01 |
| Toxa | toxa@toxtop:~$ lsusb | 18:01 |

| Toxa | Thats all in my lisusb | 18:01 |
| TheSheep | Toxa: please use a pastebin next time | 18:01 |
| Toxa | sorry. I am noob in IRc | 18:02 |
| TheSheep | no problem, just saying :) | 18:02 |
| Toxa | So you can see that no mic there. Just one thing from Logitech | 18:02 |
| TheSheep | actually I'm not sure if it should be listed as a separate device | 18:02 |
| TheSheep | did you install pavucontrol? | 18:03 |
| Toxa | sudo apt-get install pavucontrol??? | 18:03 |
| TheSheep | yes | 18:03 |
| TheSheep | it should have 'default source' in the menu | 18:04 |
| TheSheep | you should be able to see and choose your microphone on the list there | 18:04 |
| Toxa | It`s must be in Input devices? | 18:05 |
| TheSheep | I think so | 18:05 |
| Toxa | Only Analog Microphone and nothing more to choose^( | 18:06 |
| TheSheep | okso it seems that the system doesn't see it as a device :( | 18:07 |
| Toxa | Something like this. But I can`t see any information about what to do with this? | 18:07 |
| Toxa | I mean ccan`t find any info | 18:08 |
| TheSheep | I found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=507292 | 18:09 |
| TheSheep | and this: http://www.blog.highub.com/linux/make-logitech-usb-microphone-work-on-ubuntu/ | 18:09 |
| TheSheep | doesn't help much though | 18:09 |
| TheSheep | you might want to ask on #ubuntu, btw | 18:09 |
| Toxa | Thank`s for help! I try to ask somewhere more | 18:10 |
| TheSheep | also https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/5856 | 18:10 |
| connecteduser | guys, how do you enable the tcp listen function in xorg? | 18:43 |
| charlie-tca | !tcp | 18:43 |
| connecteduser | hm? | 18:44 |
| connecteduser | that was one helpful answer | 18:45 |
| charlie-tca | heh, was hoping the 'bot knew more than me about it. | 18:45 |
| charlie-tca | apparently, that is not something I do | 18:46 |
| gr8m8 | connecteduser: have a look at /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc | 18:57 |
| nicofs | where is the script that is executed after login? | 20:32 |
| nicofs | .bashrc in /home/user? | 20:33 |
| BigGreenCanoe | quick question, where did they hide the boot file that sets the startup mode (graphic -v- text)? | 21:19 |
| Maccer | Hey, 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 |
| BigGreenCanoe | Macer: maybe | 21:21 |
| BigGreenCanoe | what's the issue? | 21:21 |
| Maccer | BigGreenCanoe: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1663365 | 21:22 |
| Maccer | Thanks by the way. :) | 21:22 |
| BigGreenCanoe | I'll be back in a bit, let me take a look. | 21:22 |
| Maccer | Alrighty. | 21:23 |
| BigGreenCanoe | maccer: Hang on Boot thread? | 21:28 |
| Maccer | BigGreenCanoe: Yup (http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1663365) | 21:28 |
| Maccer | Somebody 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 |
| BigGreenCanoe | it sounds like a driver issue, but I'm afraid that's all I can tell | 21:30 |
| Maccer | Hrm, okay then, thanks for the help anyways, BigGreenCanoe! :) | 21:30 |
| BigGreenCanoe | Maccer: You might look at this: http://kerneltrap.org/node/14919 | 21:32 |
| BigGreenCanoe | It's 3 years old, but may offer some help. | 21:32 |
| Maccer | Maybe I need to go try something like libata, but I have no idea on how to retrieve it. | 21:38 |
| BigGreenCanoe | wish I could help more, but my kernel experience is rather dated. | 21:39 |
