[00:03] <error21> what`s the problem with k3b,write success but nothing on cd
[01:40] <nicofs> How many installed packaged does a normal linux have after removin all GUI (gdm, X11, xfce, Gnome ...)?
[01:41] <nicofs> Or: How much can i remove via aptitude, before i ruin my system...?
[01:47] <TheSheep> nicofs: there is no 'normal linux'
[01:47] <TheSheep> linux is a kernel, that's one package
[01:48] <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...
[01:49] <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?
[01:51] <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?
[01:52] <nicofs> nothing. i get a screen with a movable mouse on it - for abaout a second - and then it's gone...
[01:53] <TheSheep> what's in the logs?
[01:53] <TheSheep> /var/log/Xorg.0.log and ~/.xsessionerrors
[01:54] <nicofs> hang on... i'll check
[01:57] <nicofs> i have xorg.0.log open... what am i looking?
[01:58] <TheSheep> search for EE
[01:58] <TheSheep> or just look at the end
[02:02] <nicofs> ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log.
[02:02] <TheSheep> that doesn't explain anything
[02:02] <TheSheep> I have to go to sleep, sorry
[02:03] <TheSheep> 3am here
[02:08] <nicofs> here as well... need to go to the airport...
[06:34] <sleek> is there a way to configure the location of my libnotify popups?
[06:51] <_6i> hi, how do i set default program for execution according to file extension in linux?
[14:20] <syutchkin69> salve a tutti
[14:20] <TheSheep> !it
[14:21] <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!
[14:22] <TheSheep> but it's ok to say hello in any language you want
[14:22] <syutchkin69> lol okay
[14:23] <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
[14:24] <syutchkin69> mmmh okay
[14:24] <knome> xubuntu works well on eeepc's
[14:24] <syutchkin69> for now is going well...
[14:24] <syutchkin69> (installation)
[14:27] <syutchkin69> which distribution do you use?
[14:27] <knome> xubuntu, obviously
[14:28] <syutchkin69> lol I imagined it...
[14:30] <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...
[15:26] <aicasn> is the 'exec' in the correct position for this command? SOME_ENV_VAR=value exec /path/to/command
[15:51] <nicofs> is there a way to build .deb packages by oneself?
[15:53] <TheSheep> sure, there is even a channel devoted to teaching people how to do that
[15:53] <TheSheep> !motu
[15:53] <nicofs> ok... will try to ascend there...
[15:56] <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...
[16:01] <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... :/
[16:02] <gr8m8> aicasn:  I was going to say normsally it is something like   export BROWSER=/usr/bin/firefox    to set a env variable
[16:03] <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
[16:04] <gr8m8> you do like I suggested on one like - what's the multiple line way that you did?
[16:05] <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
[16:08] <charlie-tca> aicasn: most commands should have a command line method of passing that variable, as in
[16:08] <charlie-tca> exec docommand --value
[16:09] <charlie-tca> and then you don't have to set and unset the variable for a one-time use
[16:30] <Toxa> Hello everybody! Need help
[16:31] <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?
[16:32] <Toxa> I has problem. When I repeatedly pres any button on keyboard its not working, only singlee pres. What to do? Thanks
[16:34] <charlie-tca> Toxa: is your preferences set for key repeat? Applications -> Settings -> Xfce 4 Settings Manager -> Keyboard
[16:35] <charlie-tca> Behavior tab has a place that needs to be checked for keyboard repeat
[16:36] <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
[16:38] <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
[16:40] <charlie-tca> Did you try changing repeat delay or repeat speed in Keyboard?
[16:41] <charlie-tca> do you have accessibility enabled? There is an option in Accessibility to prevent "bounce keys", which will have that effect
[16:43] <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
[16:45] <Toxa> How and where set accessibility enabled?
[16:46] <charlie-tca>  Applications -> Settings -> Xfce 4 Settings Manager -> Accessibility -> Keyboard
[16:47] <charlie-tca>  Applications -> Settings -> Xfce 4 Settings Manager -> Accessibility -> Keyboard, Behavior Tab, Repeat speed
[16:48] <Toxa> Thank you very much! Now it`s work properly! Thank you milion times!  Mange tak!(Danish)
[16:48] <charlie-tca> You are welcome
[16:53] <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
[16:55] <charlie-tca> Now we have to wait for someone that knows webcams to come along. I can't help with them
[17:03] <ShootEmUp> Hello Everyone!
[17:41] <ShootEmUp> Hello Again!
[17:44] <Toxa> Logitech C270 HD webcam. Integrated microphone doesn`t work. Need help
[17:48] <TheSheep> !doesn't work | Toxa
[17:52] <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
[17:57] <TheSheep> Toxa: maybe try one of those:
[17:57] <TheSheep> !skype
[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
[17:58] <Toxa> No, its not usb microphone, it`s just integrated in webcam. Logitech C270HD
[17:59] <TheSheep> is that webcam connected through usb?
[17:59] <TheSheep> or is there a separate jack fro the microphone?
[18:00] <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
[18:01] <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
[18:02] <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
[18:03] <TheSheep> did you install pavucontrol?
[18:03] <Toxa> sudo apt-get install pavucontrol???
[18:03] <TheSheep> yes
[18:04] <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
[18:05] <Toxa> It`s must be in Input devices?
[18:05] <TheSheep> I think so
[18:06] <Toxa> Only Analog Microphone and nothing more to choose^(
[18:07] <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?
[18:08] <Toxa> I mean ccan`t find any info
[18:09] <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
[18:10] <Toxa> Thank`s for help! I try to ask somewhere more
[18:10] <TheSheep> also https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/5856
[18:43] <connecteduser> guys, how do you enable the tcp listen function in xorg?
[18:43] <charlie-tca> !tcp
[18:44] <connecteduser> hm?
[18:45] <connecteduser> that was one helpful answer
[18:45] <charlie-tca> heh, was hoping the 'bot knew more than me about it.
[18:46] <charlie-tca> apparently, that is not something I do
[18:57] <gr8m8> connecteduser:  have a look at /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
[20:32] <nicofs> where is the script that is executed after login?
[20:33] <nicofs> .bashrc in /home/user?
[21:19] <BigGreenCanoe> quick question, where did they hide the boot file that sets the startup mode (graphic -v- text)?
[21:21] <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?
[21:22] <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.
[21:23] <Maccer> Alrighty.
[21:28] <BigGreenCanoe> maccer: Hang on Boot thread?
[21:28] <Maccer> BigGreenCanoe: Yup (http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1663365)
[21:29] <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.
[21:30] <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! :)
[21:32] <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.
[21:38] <Maccer> Maybe I need to go try something like libata, but I have no idea on how to retrieve it.
[21:39] <BigGreenCanoe> wish I could help more, but my kernel experience is rather dated.
