[00:00] That you do not want an overboard laptop of ~$2000,- ;) [00:00] My next thing is prolly gonna be a tablet on which I can plug in a keyboard ofc :P [00:00] MrChrisDruif: well I wanna keep it simple and light, maybe a bigg hdd but thats about all this laptop lacks [00:01] aside from a short battery life [00:01] 00:00 < MrChrisDruif> My next thing is prolly gonna be a tablet on which I can plug in a keyboard ofc :P [00:01] sorry [00:01] double click + middle click [00:01] What? [00:01] damn mouse [00:01] 00:01 <+paultag> sorry [00:01] 00:01 <+paultag> double click + middle click [00:01] 00:01 <+paultag> damn mouse [00:01] Touchscreen ftw? :P [00:01] ftl :P [00:03] still wish I could get weechat configured so that the channel list and timestamp area didnt take up so much screen realestate [00:05] ftl? For the laptop? [00:06] for the loss MrChrisDruif [00:06] :P [00:34] i guess it's my flow === daniel0007 is now known as CensoredBiscuit [01:03] any ideas why i can't paste in an irssi window anymore? [01:03] ah, i'll log out of fluxbox and try gnome, could be why [01:17] hey guys, I installed xubuntu-desktop just to try it out but now it automatically loads even when I pick Ubuntu Desktop from the login screen. How do I get rid of it? its also taken over my theme in Ubuntu [01:19] GunnDawg: you've installed it inside of Ubuntu? If so, open Synaptic and search for Xubuntu [01:21] MrChrisDruif: k it found a few things [01:21] little things though like xubuntu-docs and plymouth themes [01:22] The plymouth is start-up screen... [01:22] MrChrisDruif: yeah I know [01:22] got rid of everything I could find that had to do with xubuntu [01:22] should I restart ? [01:22] Did you apply changes? [01:23] yes [01:23] its done its thing [01:23] logout should be enough [01:23] ok lemme try [01:24] When he comes back, ask if he didn't have xubuntu-desktop selected :P [01:26] ok back, I think it worked, but now my emerald themes wont apply [01:26] grr [01:29] Is emerald still installed? [01:31] MrChrisDruif: yes [01:31] Then it should work right? [01:31] it should, yes [01:32] But it doesn't? [01:32] correct [01:32] Hmmm....I dunno...:) [01:33] :( [01:33] I always recommend to test things on a secondary computer...or VM... [01:33] Off again <_<" [01:35] well this bites! [01:35] What does? Except snakes? :P [01:36] the fact that I cant get my emerald theme back [01:36] Hmmm....weird...was it last time difficult to set up? Are you going through the same steps? [01:37] wasnt difficult no, you just launch emerald theme manager and click the theme you want and it applies it [01:37] I am clicking on them now, and they dont apply [01:37] Maybe try to reinstall emerald with synaptic? [01:40] i'll try [01:41] no luck [01:41] I don't know how it works with theme downloaden, does emerald do it self? [01:42] yes [01:42] Hmmm... [01:42] Then I don't know what else you could do....maybe someone else knows anything... [01:43] One last thing you could try: completely remove (incl. settings(or how they call it)) in synaptic [01:43] And reinstall after that ... [01:53] incl settings ? === Gero is now known as CensoredBiscuit [02:32] Hey dudes. I am trying to get an NES emulator setup for my son, and I am failing hard. I can't get GFCE to be the default program to open NES files. I tried to right click, and select the GFCE, but it isn't in the list. Where does it install, and how can I get it to be the default NES emulator? Any help is appreciated! :) [02:33] MrMintanet: hey man [02:34] MrMintanet: well, it's kinda funny, it's handled by MIME types [02:34] MrMintanet: the best way is to open it from the application it's self [02:34] Yea, but it's for a 6 year old. [02:34] Hum, truth. [02:34] MrMintanet: let me pull docs. Moment. [02:34] Thanks! [02:34] MrMintanet: you'd not happen to be a commandline rockstar, would you? [02:35] Nope. I'm a huge noob [02:35] righto. [02:35] MrMintanet: do you know the basics, cd / ls / etc ? [02:35] kinda [02:35] I'm a huge Windoze guy [02:35] But I did install a ported version of 10.10 onto an iBook G4... [02:35] Does that count for something? *grin* [02:36] MrMintanet: OK. slam out to where your NES images are and run the command `file' on the NES images, and let's see if it identifies right [02:36] MrMintanet: it counts for something ;) [02:36] Ok. One sec. [02:38] Ok [02:38] I'm in the directory [02:38] MrMintanet: run the command `file' on one of the files, please [02:38] gunndawg: sorry for late response: yes, incl settings... [02:39] That's what I suggest.... [02:39] Do you mind if I just copy/paste in here? It's not that long. [02:39] Two lines [02:39] MrMintanet: two lines is fine :) [02:40] Actually... just one line: Xexyz.nes: iNES ROM dump, 8x16k PRG, 16x8k CHR, [Horiz.] [02:40] great, that's good [02:41] But I'm off...ttyl guys [02:41] MrMintanet: can you run `file' with a -i flag? [02:41] Sure [02:41] MrMintanet: thanks :) -- that'll give us the MIME type of the file [02:41] Xexyz.nes: application/octet-stream; charset=binary [02:42] great [02:42] Got it [02:43] I just ran it with a custom command [02:43] "gfceu" [02:43] well yeah :) [02:43] but you need to change the mime linkage [02:43] MrMintanet: http://www.johannes-eva.net/change-the-default-application-ubuntu-linux <-- under " Change the default app for [02:43] multiple [02:43] filetypes [02:43] Oh cool [02:43] lordy that sucks [02:43] Ok, thanks so much [02:43] wonder why that newlines so much [02:43] MrMintanet: yeah, no problem. Lucky it identifies so well ;) [02:44] This is one major issue I have with Ubuntu. [02:44] But... it's just another speed bump that I've overcome, which only motivates me more to stick with it! [02:44] what are Incl settings ? [02:44] Be back later.... I'm sure. :) [02:44] MrMintanet: you could totally add it in the "run with" menu [02:44] I am trying to get emerald to work again [02:44] MrMintanet: but it's a bit more dicy and I'm not at my workstation to get the defaults right now [02:44] MrMintanet: good luck! [02:46] I installed xubuntu inside of ubuntu and it ruined my emerald theme for ubuntu, so I uninstalled xubuntu, uinstalled/reinstalled emerald and none of the emerald themes will apply [02:52] back [02:52] so anyone have any input in regards to my emerald theme problem ? [02:54] emerald --replace seemed to have fixed things up [02:57] actually that only works if I keep the terminal window open that I ran it from, anyway to perm. use --replace [03:57] fceu is launching my ,rom files but not playing audio.

[11:38] trying to install mac ppc version of meercat [11:38] but it's bigger than a cd [11:38] can i install from an external hard disc? [11:39] Guest6790: thumb drives are pretty easy and you can also use a DVD [11:39] I'm not sure how to go about doing it from an ISO on an ext drive though [11:40] i have an iso but still have to install it to the thumb/external drive [11:40] Do you have any version of Ubuntu installed? [11:40] I'll try burning a dvd [11:40] Or any other operating system? [11:40] I have a pc w/ ubuntu but only cd burner [11:40] Easy if you have a spare thumb drive [11:41] but this is a mac version i want to put on an ibook G3 [11:41] why did they make it sliiiiightly larger than a cd! [11:41] Guest6790: yep "start up disk creator" [11:41] disc creator on the ubuntu windows machine? [11:42] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Creating%20a%20bootable%20Ubuntu%20USB%20flash%20drive [11:42] can i open the iso and copy all the files off to an external disc? [11:42] these are instructions for pc only I think [11:44] If you run the program it will install the ISO to a USB drive and make it bootable [11:44] So you can just use it to install on the other pc [11:45] I want the mac version - ppc - I think this is only for win/pc machines [11:45] I had good luck on my windows/pc machine but the iso was the correct size for a cd [11:49] I'll read this carefully and see if I can make it work with the ppc version from here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads [11:49] No you can use any ISO you would like [11:49] As long as you have a version of Ubuntu the USB-Creator program can use any ISO you have on your computer [11:58] ? I made a cd from the regular ubuntu 10.10 from this page http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download and it intstalled great on my win/pc machine, but my mac ibook G3 doesn't see it. [11:58] sorry, you mean the usb-creator program above - i'll read it carefully now. thanks [12:02] No worries, it's the easiest way to get a bootable install USB drive for ubuntu [12:08] uh - in order to run the usb creator app I have to have ubuntu installed - do I have to fire up the win/pc? dang, it's noisy! [12:09] Yeah you will need a Ubuntu installed that's why I was checking that [12:10] ok, I'm burning a DVD of the ppc iso, if it doen'st work i'll fire up the win/pc, but it's late so I'll try it tomorrow. thannks for all your help! I'm in Los Angeles - your no worries sounds like you're in Australia? [12:11] I actually got the ubuntu idea from a guy in Australia when I had an old ebook win/pc. [12:11] it's fun even when I don't always succeed! thanks for your help! [12:12] Yeah I'm in Brisbane, Australia [12:12] Glad we can be of assistance [12:13] Guest6790: YOu can also download UNetbootin (it's a cross platform app that works like the USB Creator for Ubuntu) [12:16] Woo Hoo! the DVD is booting - but I'm keeping all this info.

[17:14] Anyone plz..? [17:21] kumaanki: Have you seen this? http://www.ubuntu.com/community [17:21] I'm not a member of any of those teams, so I wouldn't know what would suit you best.

[20:01] you may need the alternate CD to do raid from the installer (someone should correct me if I'm wrong :)) [20:01] raid 1 [20:01] alternate cd?? [20:01] it uses a text based installer which has more flexibility than the standard one (also allows you to do LVM) [20:02] I have an ASUS 1001PXD with 10.4 netbook and I can't seem to get the internal mic to work [20:02] Matt28: this might help you, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1601826 [20:02] ok, i assume that i can find that on the ubuntu home page? [20:02] Matt28: title: Installing Ubuntu 10.10 Server or Alternate with RAID1 [20:03] thanks for the info [20:03] Matt28: releases.ubuntu.com has it. i recommend acquiring it using the torrent. [20:03] Matt28: you are welcome, sir [20:04] Bolo: 10.04*. i don't have direct knowledge of this problem, but i may help with some additional neural processing. [20:04] Bolo: have you check mic and capture levels utilizing alsamixer from a shell? [20:05] seidos I have gone through much of the related stuff on ubuntu forums with no luck [20:05] Bolo: did they mention alsamixer? i find it is more wholistic than gnome-volume-control [20:06] seidos I have worked with the alsamixer and the gnome-alsamixer But maybe I wasn't doing it right [20:06] 'lo all [20:06] namaste bodhizazen [20:06] thunder? [20:07] Bolo: i would revisit alsamixer from a shell. then, check soundrecorder. if your mic is working, there should be a "gain/level" bar in the lower right. it should be blue or some color, not gray [20:08] Bolo: if it doesn't work after you try this...there are more options. [20:09] siedos I have started alsamixer - what should I do? [20:09] seidos - I am a beginner with this stuff [20:11] Bolo: ah. hit tab. then right arrow to "mic" and "capture". make sure the volume is at 50% (i don't recommend higher just yet) [20:11] Bolo: no worries on being a beginner. i am as well, relativity considered. [20:12] seidos I've got mic boost, but no mic [20:12] Bolo: to raise or lower the gain==volume, use up and down arrows [20:13] Bolo: what if you hit "f4"? [20:14] seidos I get mic boost and capture [20:15] Bolo: how many mics do you have? [20:16] siedos when I hit f5 I have two mic boosts [20:17] seidos when I plug in an external mic it works when I select it in sound settings [20:17] seidos there is no external mic connnected at this time [20:19] Bolo: hmmm, me too. when i hit f4 i have front mic, mic boost, and capture [20:19] but i assumed one of these was for "line in", though that actually may be "capture" [20:19] anyway...did you put up capture and mic boost to 50%? [20:19] seidos I only have two mic boosts [20:21] seidos when I select and adjust the volume on one, it adjust the volume on the other. Can't adjust them separately [20:22] Bolo: ermm, i am not sure how to say this...but my mic isn't working right now either [20:22] heh [20:24] Bolo: i should probably log into gnome, would you mind waiting briefly? [20:24] Bolo: i need to see if front mic is what i use or mic boost to get the mic "listening" [20:25] siedos OK [20:30] Bolo: back, one moment while i test sound recorder [20:33] Bolo: on my system, i need "front mic boost" for sound to be recorded from the built in microphone. i can set "mic boost" and "capture" to 0, and as long as front mic boost is "up", it will function. [20:33] Bolo: i guess we should probably get some more information on your system...but at this point i would recommend trying to install a newer version of alsa...i should warn you, some courage at this point is probably warranted [20:33] try searchig your laptop model to see if it's a common problem [20:34] Bolo: pedro3005 makes a good point. what laptop model do you have? [20:35] seidos I have looked at that and there doesn't seem to be a real good, detailed, explanation of how to do that [20:35] seidos asus Eee pc1001pxd I've looked [20:35] Bolo: no, there isn't. i should probably add making one to my todo list. [20:36] Bolo: and you said 10.04 netbook remix... [20:36] seidos correct 10.4 netbook remix [20:37] Bolo: have you looked here? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1204001 [20:37] Bolo: 10.04* [20:37] not exactly the same model though...hmmm [20:38] Bolo: disregard that link, nobody reports a success [20:40] Bolo: what do you get when you type the following in a shell, cat /proc/asound/version [20:42] seidos Sorry, don't understand shell [20:43] seidos Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21. [20:45] Bolo: shell==terminal [20:45] seidos got it answer posted above [20:46] Bolo: okay, well there are 2 things i am considering. researching if anyone has problem with the kernel module for your sound device [20:47] Bolo: and if the 1st doesn't do it, then try upgrading to version 1.0.23 of alsa, incidentally, 10.10 comes with alsa 1.0.23 [20:48] Bolo: i have some information cached in my brain that can help you investigate your kernel module [20:48] seidos how do you upgrade to .23? [20:48] Bolo: but upgrading alsa will be more tricky. [20:48] Bolo: the only way i have done it (aside from upgrading the distro) is to download and compile alsa from source, but this caused problems with pulseaudio [20:48] seidos more tricker than what? [20:49] Bolo: than investigating the kernel module for your sound device. [20:50] Bolo: i have to state i am ignorant as to the specifics at this point on how the kernel module gets selected, and whether or not it is even included in alsa [20:50] Bolo: kernel module = driver [20:51] seidos Don't need more problems so far I've fixed about four things after the installation of 10.4 I was hoping I was reaching an end to this kind of stuff [20:52] Bolo: 10.04*. i'm sorry to hear you are having problems, i do wish everything was functioning to your specifications. [20:53] however, i will say, that i do whole heartedly believe your endeavoring to work with free and open source software, specifically ubuntu, is the right thing to do. [20:54] seidos I'm not complaining, just pointing out that I might be more willing to do without a working internal mic on my computer than to install something that might create more problems than fixing them [20:56] Bolo: ah, yeah. when i compiled alsa from source there was a work around for it, but it wasn't a permanent fix. [20:56] Bolo: it would be nice if you could install alsa 1.0.23 from a repository, but i am not sure if this feasible. [20:56] ah, just had a thought, there might be a deb package with alsa 1.0.23 [20:57] seidos How do I check that? [20:57] incidentally, i am also asking in #alsa if alsa is the package that comes with your kernel module (driver) for your sound device [20:57] Bolo: search google for "alsa 1.0.23 deb package" [20:59] Bolo: first link looks promising: http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2010/05/02/upgrade-alsa-1-0-23-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04/ [20:59]
