GuegsIs there such a thing so I don't have to look at the God awful gnome boot manager screen which lets me choose between Ubuntu and Windows 7?01:14

holsteinive seen several problems with burg01:22
holsteintheres something to be said for the 'if it aint broke' philosophy01:22
GuegsI'm still searching about it. But It is just so fricken ugly haha.01:23
holsteineh, looks like text to me01:23
holsteinand its just for a coupld seconds01:23
holsteinhere and there01:24
gunndawghola amigos01:25
GuegsHi gunndawg, how are you?01:26
gunndawgGuegs: doin good01:26
GuegsThats good.01:26
gunndawgFinally done setting up IRSSI IRC client the way I want it, its pretty spiffy now01:27
GuegsxChat! \o/01:27
Guegs:P01:27
gunndawgGuegs: yeah I used to use Xchat but I really like irssi01:28
holsteinirssi looks like grub ;)01:29
distort3dkonversation ^^01:30
gunndawgholstein: well its a terminal based irc client. i have installed some addons to make it function and look better01:30
holsteinim running irssi in screen01:30
gunndawgi have never used or installed 'screen'01:30
holsteingive it a go01:30
gunndawgI never log off, so I dont really need it, lol01:31
seidosi like xchat, but irssi feels more robust to me01:31
holsteinhttp://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi01:31
holsteini get it running on my server in screen01:31
holsteinand i connect back in from where ever01:31
gunndawgI just dont understand "screen"01:32
gunndawgI will stick to using my laptop screen01:32
gunndawg:)01:32
seidosgunndawg: lies01:32
gunndawgseidos: yeah I hve a reason to lie about that01:32
seidosgunndawg: people lie for fun01:33
gunndawgseidos: ok well im not lying01:33
seidosgunndawg: you are a mystery sir01:33
gunndawgseidos: a mystery because I havent used "screen" ?01:33
gunndawgso anyways01:36
johnny77What is the benefit of using irssi over xchat?01:36
gunndawgjohnny77: well I suppose it uses less system resources01:36
gunndawgjohnny77: and if your a "power user" then you'll prefer the "terminal feel" so to speak01:37
seidosgunndawg: a mystery because you can write a front end to apt, but screen is not comprehended01:37
gunndawgseidos:  how is that a mystery? I know the python language syntax but I dont use a program called "screen" big deal01:37
johnny77ok, just curious. I've looked at it before, but am scared of terminal apps.01:37
seidosjohnny77: i find irssi to be more robust.  i suspend notebook, and come back, and irssi just goes live again.  it doesn't even try connecting again...01:37
seidosgunndawg: never said it was a big deal01:38
gunndawgseidos: well its some huge mystery to you01:38
seidosjohnny77: terminal apps are going to eat you!01:38
seidosgunndawg: never said huge01:38
gunndawgseidos: then quit acting like it is01:38
seidosmystery isn't a bad thing01:38
* seidos shrugs01:39
gunndawgjohnny77: you should give it a try01:39
gunndawgjohnny77: with a few addons and tweaks you can really get it workin to your likings01:40
johnny77seidos: I've only been on Ubuntu for a few months, still fighting with the Windows mentality.01:40
gunndawgjohnny77: I've only been on ubuntu for like 2 weeks01:40
gunndawgjohnny77:  :)01:40
seidosjohnny77: i've been away from windows for ~ 2 years now.  what's the windows mentality?01:41
seidoswell, i've used it briefly here and there01:41
gunndawgseidos: windows mentality is basically the mentality to do things under the ways of microsoft01:41
gunndawgseidos: aka he probably still goes to the bottom left of his screen to look for a start menu ;)01:42
johnny77gunndawg: not that bad... just the idea of having access to the terminal, can play around with anything.01:42
johnny77In Window you let it do it's thing and not mess with anything.01:43
gunndawgjohnny77: thats the beauty of it, you arent locked out of the system like in winblows :)01:43
johnny77gunndawg: I think you had a typo there. :)01:43
gunndawgjohnny77: ;)01:43
gunndawgjohnny77: you're right I meant to say "that's" ;)01:44
gunndawgjk01:44
johnny77I've played around with the different *Ubuntu. I really like being able to tweak stuff... more than one option for things.01:45
gunndawgjohnny77: let me show you a screenshot of my setup to show you what I have done so far01:45
gunndawgjohnny77: http://min.us/mve3uR01:46
gunndawgscreenshotting is easier also, I was able to screenshot, save, upload and share in less than a min ;)01:46
johnny77gunndawg: is that gnome with docky?01:47
gunndawgjohnny77: yes01:47
johnny77I'm also on a netbook so screen space is super important.01:48
gunndawgjohnny77: I put docky into panel mode, instead of normal dock mode01:48
GuegsI am getting this error from the update manager.01:48
Guegs'E:Type '“deb' is not known on line 59 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list'01:48
gunndawgjohnny77: I am on a 15" laptop so screenspace is pretty important to me as well01:49
johnny77gunndawg: I've thought about trying docky, but it won't work with my window manager.01:49
gunndawgGuegs: did you try to google the error, or look at line 59 on sources.list to see if anything looks out of the norm ?01:49
gunndawgjohnny77: you dont use gnome with ubuntu ?01:50
Guegsfigured it out gunndawg. there are "" around the source for some reason.01:50
Guegs:S01:50
johnny77gunndawg: no, I use fluxbox with ubuntu.01:51
gunndawgjohnny77: ah ok, I thought about fluxbox but decided against it01:51
distort3dhttp://imagebin.org/13649701:52
johnny77I've found it to work better with my smaller system.01:52
gunndawgjohnny77: yeah probabl01:52
johnny77distort3d: that's pretty sweet.01:52
johnny77gunndawg: I gnome installed, but don't usually boot into it.01:53
distort3dthnx :-)01:53
Guegshow would i go about editing sources.list?01:55
Guegsi open it with a text editor and i can't01:55

distort3dnvm01:55
distort3dsudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list01:56
seidosjohnny77: i like fluxbox, but i'm using gnome right now01:56
distort3dgksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list01:56
Guegsthanks01:56
johnny77seidos: the only thing that slightly bothers me about fluxbox is that I can't use things like docky. But it's simplicity and quickness far overweights that for me.01:58
gunndawgjohnny77: but docky also makes things simple and quick ;)01:58
seidosjohnny77: i would probably use fluxbox all the time if i could get the colors right02:00
johnny77gunndawg: I meant the speed of the software. It boots fast, runs programs fast. Not how quick I can get a do something.02:01
gunndawgFluxbox is nice but the fact that I cant use some of my add ons makes me stay away from it, but its nice02:01
johnny77gunndawg: and that is ultimately why I love Ubuntu. There are just so many choices everyone can do exactly what they want.02:03
distortedkinda funny irssi :o02:03
=== Cheri703_ is now known as Cheri703
gunndawgjohnny77: thats very true02:05
distortedfor a netbook irssi is kinda ok.02:05
gunndawgyeah02:05
seidosi had some bugs with xchat.  sometimes it wouldn't autojoin channels after connecting02:06
zkriesseseidos: That was the one version02:10
gunndawgseidos: what do you use? irssi ?02:10
seidoszkriesse: i tried multiple versions02:10
seidosgunndawg: i just started using irssi again02:11
seidoslike a few days ago02:11
Guegsreally seidos? xchat has always worked great for me.02:11
gunndawgseidos: did you see how I have mine set up? I have a lil space at the top for when people message/higlight me02:11
seidosGuegs: i have no idea why.  unlucky maybe.  i downloaded the source...but...yeah...that's enough about that.02:11
gunndawgseidos: so I can be in any channel and see when someone messages me from another chan02:11
seidosgunndawg: yeah, i had mine set up that way when i first tried irssi.  i don't really like it.02:11
gunndawgseidos: oh ok02:12
seidosgunndawg: i don't have enough people messaging me for me to need that02:12
seidosi just alt-x to whatever pm it is02:12
seidosgunndawg: but if i need it, it's nice to know it's there ;)02:12
GuegsIf Green Bay blows this imma be so pissed.02:13
gunndawgseidos: indeed02:13
seidosGuegs: i'm looking for the cheese packers to win too02:14
GuegsI mean honestly I don't give a crap about the NFL. CFL all the way baby!02:15
gunndawgyeah I dont care for pro football02:16
GuegsBut I would rather them then the Steelers.02:16
gunndawgI am more of a college football fan02:16
distortedpkill X02:20
distortedirssi is bad02:20
gunndawgdistorted: explain02:21
distort3dit was in the middle of my small screen in the only terminal i had open02:21
distort3dits like 1024x60002:22
=== Cheri703_ is now known as Cheri703
distort3danyway if i remove networkmanager and nm-applet will that stop my network from starting up?02:23
gunndawgdistort3d: why do you say IRSSI is bad ?02:26
distort3dits to big for my small screen.02:26
crabbytagdistort3d: irssi?!02:27
crabbytaggunndawg: irssi is a fantastic client that works very well02:27
crabbytaggunndawg: I use it, and I endorse it wholly02:27
gunndawgcrabbytag: yeah I know, I use it, :)02:27
crabbytaggreat :)02:27
gunndawgcrabbytag: I have installed a few plugins for it as well02:27
crabbytaggunndawg: :)02:27
distort3di need something smaller :P02:27
crabbytagdistort3d: you know it's a command line client, right>?02:27
gunndawgdistort3d: you cant get much smaller than a customizeable terminal02:28
seidosdistort3d: ha02:28
seidosthis is weird.  pkill -stop chromium stops the chromium-browser process, but pkill -stop chromium-browser does not o_o02:30
seidosi think my stupidity maybe infecting my notebook.  i better get away from it asap02:30
seidoshypothesis:  it's because chromium has multiple processes per tab02:31
gunndawgseidos: what are the specs of ur notebook ?02:31
seidosgunndawg: less than yours.  still care?02:31
gunndawgseidos: yeah I am curious02:32
Cheri703so my internal webcam has decided not to be found, I'm not sure why or what to do about it. any thoughts? I've reinstalled gstreamer, and cheese still doesn't find it, the light doesn't show up next to it, and it doesn't show up in gnome-device-manager02:32
distortedBitchX looks the same as irssi :|02:33
holsteindistorted: weechat too02:34

holsteinwhatever terminal02:35
distortedthere is not much left02:35
holsteinyou can hit control alt F202:35
holsteinand run it there02:35
holsteinyou'll need to hit control alt F7 to get back02:36
distort3dgood to know02:36
holsteinCheri703: i wouldnt worry with installing software02:36
holsteinyou likely have a driver support issue02:36
holsteinyou could try a differnen kernel02:36
Cheri703well, cheese runs off gstreamer, so figured I might as well02:36
holsteinolder/newer02:36
Cheri703JUST updated again, still no love, might try rolling back a few02:36
distort3dhmm ctrl alt + f7 rsult in crash02:37
holsteinOR, look around for a backport module or something02:37
holsteinCheri703: do you see it listed02:37
holsteinwhen you run the command02:37
holsteinlspci02:37
holsteinor lsusb02:37
holstein?02:37
holsteindistorted: im not sure what all is going on with your machine02:38
holsteinif you say gnome is broken02:38
holsteinor you broke it02:38
holsteinmaybe something has affected X as well?02:38
Cheri703holstein: nope02:38
holsteinCheri703: what is it?02:38
holsteinthe dvice02:38
Cheri703I tried pressing the key combo that would enable it, and ran lspci again, and no luck02:38
Cheri703not sure exactly, no video device listed though02:38
holsteinCheri703: yeah, thats a good place to start though02:39
Cheri703it's an internal camera, netbook02:39

holsteinCheri703: right, what is it?02:39
holsteinthe netbook?02:39
Cheri703zareason teo02:39
holsteinCheri703: yeah, id double check the bios02:42
gunndawgCheri703: tell him what kind of camera it is02:42
holsteinmaybe try a couple different verions of buntu live CD's02:42
Cheri703gunndawg: I DON'T KNOW what kind of camera it is02:42
holsteinif you have them setting around02:42
Cheri703holstein: I checked the bios, no mention of camera, it's fairly sparse02:42

distortedbetter then terminal02:47
distortedor its that same cli is terminal but bigger :-)02:47
distortedis a command line browser also handy like lynx?02:51
holsteinif you dont have X02:51
holsteinid say it would be quite handy02:51
distortedfor the things i do with my netbook, do i basicly dont need a X system.02:52
holsteindepends02:53
distortedi use it as a portable repo mirror :P02:53
kristian-T40distorted, elinks is nice to... and links02:53
* seidos puts on some depends :D02:53
holsteini was thinking about trying that02:53

gunndawgseidos: you didnt tell me ur netbook stats!02:53
holsteintheres a wicd-cli02:53
holsteinor curses02:53
gunndawgseidos: mainly wanna know about your processor02:53
kristian-T40just starting up sylpheed for the first time... it won't change anything I have on the gmail server, I hope?02:53
holsteinassume nothing, check the settings :)02:54
seidosgunndawg: sorry dude.  it was time for ^C02:54
seidosgunndawg: 1.47ghz duo core02:54
gunndawgseidos: ah ok, so you probably max ur CPU out then huh?02:55
distortedim on a atom 1.6ghz02:55
seidosgunndawg: not really.  i max out ram faster than cpu, and that's pretty rare02:55
kristian-T40holstein, true true, but kind of hart atm02:55
gunndawgseidos: oh wow, yeah I max my cpu pretty easily, just a few chromium tabs open with some flash media playing and it maxes pretty easily02:56
kristian-T40I just need someone to tell me it will all be OK ;)02:56
holsteinlol02:56
holsteinwell, i can tell you that02:56
holsteinno matter what, thats true :)02:56
seidosgunndawg: i never notice.  do you have a duocore?02:57
seidosgunndawg: it probably *could* be more efficient, but it doesn't effect usability so i don't care about it02:57
seidosgunndawg: ah, well, i don't really do the flash that much.  i have on tab of youtube open right now.  i stopped using pandora.  i am listening to music in totem02:58
seidoson=one02:58
gunndawgseidos: ah ok, yeah if I have enough tabs open and watch live streaming video like tv casts or what not, it usually pushes my CPU to 90% range, and higher02:58
SpaceDuck_holstein, thanks for the link that was just what I was looking for.02:59
holsteinSpaceDuck_: :)02:59
SpaceDuck_Do you know what I need to put to enable window shades?03:00
seidosgunndawg: both cores?03:00
seidosgunndawg: how many tabs is "enough tabs".03:01
gunndawgseidos: I dont think I have a dual core03:02
gunndawgseidos: I could be wrong, but I think its single core03:03
gunndawgmy system monitor has meters for CPU 0 and CPU 103:03
gunndawgbut both meters are the same always03:03
gunndawgif CPU 0 is 60% then CPU 1 is also 60% they are always the same, which makes me think its a single core03:04
seidosgunndawg: mine are the same too +- 3% it seems03:04
gunndawgseidos: see mine are ALWAYS the same, never are they different,03:04
gunndawgso I wonder whats up with that03:04
seidosgunndawg: me too03:05
seidosi need to exercise03:06
gunndawgyeah you do03:07

holsteinwell, im not sure how 'recommended' it is03:15
holsteinlets call it the 'other' one03:15
holsteintool88: when i did that, i forced the issue in the bios03:16
tool88the ones trough aditional driver app03:16
tool88i have a crappy acer nothing in the bios03:16
holsteinhmmm03:16
tool88unless they have a hidden bios03:16
holsteinid say, you'll need the proprietary one03:16
holsteinfor external monitor support03:17
holsteintool88: what kernel?03:17
holsteinyou dont run a -realtime kernel do you?03:17
tool88dont need the hardware eceleration just want my tv out03:17
holsteinOH03:17
holsteintool88: tv out is different03:17
tool88not sure what you mean by that03:17
holsteini thought we were talking about VGA out03:17
holsteintv out may not ever work03:18
tool88yeah vga is what im using as my laptop screen is broken03:18
holsteintool88: there are some issues with the proprietary nvidia drivers and -realtime kernels03:18
tool88oh03:18
holsteinIF thats the case03:18
tool88does ati work with tv out?03:18
holsteindepends03:18
holsteinin my experience03:19
holsteinthat can be the kind of thing that a kernel update can breack03:19
holsteinbreak*03:19
holsteinor fix for that matter03:19
tool88might pick up a desktop what will play nice with ubuntu that i will have tv out03:19
holsteinor a TV with VGA in03:19
holsteinthat probably more like it03:20
tool88never thought of that03:20
holsteinive heard there are some cards with hdmi that is working well03:20
holsteinnot sure how you'd find that though03:20
holsteinwhich is supported03:20
tool88what about vga to svideo or rca03:20
holsteintool88: in my experience03:20
holsteinall of that is just not worth the hassle03:21
tool88oh ok03:21

gunndawgso what browser does everyone use? I am on Chromium04:00
johnny77chrome.04:00
holstein+104:00
gunndawgregular chrome or chromium ?04:03
johnny77regular chrome. I know there is not much difference, but I picked it up in Windows then just started using it in Ubuntu when I switched.04:04
johnny77Not sure if I knew there was a chromium when I was in windows.04:04
gunndawgjohnny77: oh ok, why did they make chromium then ? I am confused, i thought you couldnt use chrome in ubuntu and thats why they made chromium04:04
johnny77gunndawg: afaik chromium is the open source project behind the branded Google Chrome.04:07
gunndawgjohnny77: ah right, ok04:07
gunndawgjohnny77: I find it pretty awesome, havent had any issues with it04:07
johnny77gunndawg: No issues here either. I love the universal bar. Search, web same place... it jsut makes it easier.04:09
gunndawgjohnny77: I meant no issues with chromium, you are using chrome04:09
johnny77yeah, I was just saying that I haven't had any with chrome.04:10
gunndawgoh ok04:10
gunndawgim wondering if I should be using chrome or chromium, lol04:11
holsteinchromium is arguably easier to install04:11
johnny77holstein: because it is in the repositories, right?04:12
holsteinyup04:12
holsteinchrome is easy to though04:12
johnny77gunndawg: If you are using one, I would not see any reason to switch.04:12
johnny77holstein: how is it easier?04:13
gunndawgjohnny77: yeah04:13
gunndawgI just wonder if chrome would use less CPU when I am using it04:13
holsteinjust because its already in th repos04:13
seidosgunndawg: i've used both, and i doubt it04:14
gunndawgseidos: alright04:14
johnny77holstein: sorry, I mis read something.04:14
seidosgunndawg: flash is inefficient.  videos in totem don't take 100% cpu.04:15
seidosnot sure why it is04:15
gunndawgalright04:15
gunndawgas long as my CPU doesnt overheat then it isnt a problem that it runs 100%04:15
gunndawgthats what its for04:15
seidosgunndawg: do you use bit torrent?04:15
gunndawgseidos: no04:15
seidosgunndawg: what are you watching on...it was youtube wasn't it?04:16
gunndawgmostly youtube yeah04:16
gunndawglike right now im watching an embeded youtube video on pc-addicts.com04:16
gunndawgand im running about 85% - 90% cpu according to my system monitor04:16
seidosgunndawg: link me the video, so we can compare04:17
gunndawghttp://pc-addicts.com/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=61404:18
gunndawgseidos: I've also got like 3 other tabs open, besides this one04:20
seidosgunndawg: what if you watch the youtube video on youtube's domain?04:20
seidosgunndawg: i'm at 36%04:20
gunndawgseidos: how many other tabs do you have open ?04:20
seidosgunndawg: 9 tabs04:21
seidosgunndawg: what's cpu utilization with out the youtube video open?04:21
seidos*without04:21
seidosgunndawg = flowerpup04:21
gunndawgwith no browser open and just irssi its like 5% or so04:21
gunndawgsome times 2% if nothing happends04:22
seidosgunndawg: so it's just this one tab04:22
gunndawgseidos: no, its any time I use flash embeded media04:22
gunndawgnot JUST that one video04:22
seidosgunndawg: i don't think what we are saying is xor04:25
RubelI have two Ubuntu server machines, running NFS, server on 8.04, client on 10.04. I followed the NFS4 Quckstart on the community docs, but after I mount a share from the server, I can't see any files on the client. The mount point directory is empty, even though it shows up when I 'df'. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?04:25
Rubel(Here's the quickstart I followed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo#NFSv4%20quick%20start )04:25
gunndawgseidos: what do you mean "xor" ?04:25
seidosgunndawg: mutually exclusive04:26
gunndawgseidos: I just went from 3% CPU and then opened up chromium and opened up a live broadcast on justin.tv and it went to 90%+04:26
seidosgunndawg: wait04:26
seidosRubel: no ideas yet04:27
RubelThanks seidos...it's a puzzler.04:28
seidosgunndawg: what version of flash?04:28
gunndawgseidos: looks like flash player 1004:29
seidosgunndawg: 10.1 r102?04:29
gunndawgseidos: 10.1.102.6504:30
seidosgunndawg: how are you checking?04:30
gunndawgseidos: thru the flash site04:30
gunndawgwhy is that part important ?04:30
seidosgunndawg: my method doesn't say ".65"04:31
gunndawgseidos: interesting04:35
seidos10.1.102.65 appears to be the newest flash04:35
seidoson get.adobe.com/flashplayer04:36
seidosi'm trying to verify what i actually have installed04:36
gunndawgseidos: yeah, thats what I have04:36
seidosgunndawg: what does it say if you do about:plugins in chrome?04:37
seidosgunndawg: try firefox, try chromium.  same thing?04:37
gunndawgseidos: I am on chromium04:38
gunndawgand yeah firefox acted up as well if I remember correctly04:38
gunndawglemme give it another try04:38
seidosgunndawg: ah, thought you were on chrome04:39
gunndawgseidos: yeah firefox cranks up the CPU usage as well04:40
gunndawgseidos: not quite as bad though04:40
johnny77good night y'all04:41
gunndawgnight johnny7704:41
seidosdream well johnny7704:41
seidosgunndawg: and .65 in about:plugins?04:41
kidsodatelessanyone use firefox 4.0 beta 12?04:41
seidosgunndawg: i have no idea why.  you have an interesting problem.04:42
holsteinkidsodateless: not regularly04:42
seidossounds like the cpu spike i get in glchess04:42
seidosgunndawg: if you figure it out, do tell.04:42
gunndawgseidos: well like I said as long as it doesnt overheat, then its not a problem, you can run it 100% just fine04:42
gunndawgseidos: thats what its there for, just as longa s it dont overheat04:42
kidsodatelessholstein, have you experience sluggish streaming on youtube?04:43
holsteinno more than anything else04:43
holsteinsimilar to chromium04:43
seidosgunndawg: it is inefficient.  i don't like when my cpu uses more electricity than it needs to, plus, it does cause wear on the cpu that is unnecessary.04:44
seidosgunndawg: well, you know that other users are able to watch videos and it not use 100% cpu.  what do you think is the cause?04:44
seidosgunndawg: do you play chess?  maybe see if you get the same problem i do in glchess04:45
gunndawgseidos: wich I knew, I'd fix it04:45
seidos*wish04:45
gunndawgright04:45
seidosmay all beings be free from suffering04:45
seidosthere's a wish04:45
gunndawgmy wish is that I knew how to fix the CPU usage on here04:46
seidosgunndawg: hmmm, this is very strange indeed.04:46
holsteingunndawg: close some things ;)04:46
seidoshow could it possibly be software?  the source we have is the same.  must be a hardware issue.04:46
seidosgunndawg: video card?04:46
gunndawgholstein: hardly anything is open! and its web browsers that cause the CPU to use like 80 - 90% some times 100% of my cpu04:46
gunndawgwithout chromium or firefox open its like 3%04:47
holsteinsounds about right ;)04:47
gunndawgholstein: you use that much cpu when you use firefox ?04:47
matt223where are video and audio streams?04:48
seidosit's like 13 or 14% for me when chromium isn't open04:48
seidoshovers at around 40% with chromium open04:48
gunndawgseidos: glchess doesnt spike my cpu04:48
holsteinnah04:48
holsteinwell, depends i guess04:48
seidosgunndawg: it's an intermittent problem for me.  after i lose against the computer on easy.04:48
gunndawgholstein: then why did you say "sounds about right"04:48
holsteinbut usually chromium is pretty lite04:48
seidosthe game is over, and i have python @ 100%.  it's like wat?04:48
holsteingunndawg: cause you're running linux04:48
seidos*what04:48
holstein;)04:49
gunndawgholstein: so are you04:49
=== crabbytag is now known as paultag
holsteinflash is just a dog04:49
holsteinfor us04:49
seidosit isn't that bad for me04:49
holsteinanyways, GN all o/04:49
seidoscyclops ;)04:49
seidoslet me try pandora.com that's usually terribly slow04:50
matt223where are the video and audio streams? i have a composite to usb video converter04:51
matt223video's at /dev/video104:52
seidosit's at about 40% after all the initial loading04:53
seidosthat isn't too bad04:53
seidoser, probably equivalent to windows04:53
seidosmatt223: composite to usb?  what good is that?04:54
matt223recording tapes04:54
matt223converting tapes04:54
seidosvideo's at video0 here04:54
matt223that's my webcam04:54
seidosah, so you digital composite video04:55
seidoscool04:55

=== seidos is now known as seidos322
seidos322i feel...cold04:55
=== seidos322 is now known as seidos0
matt223yeah... but were is the audio stream04:56
seidos0no such file or directory04:57
seidos0good question, matt22304:57
seidos0composite need not video, it could be audio04:58
seidos0*be04:58
seidos0*where04:59
matt223so where might it be05:01
matt223?????????05:02
seidos0/sbin/alsa05:03
seidos0is my first guess05:03
seidos0how many guess do i get matt223?05:03
matt223i'll try that05:03
seidos0*guesses05:04
seidos0i added the linux kernel ppa, but i don't know what packages to install to install the 2.6.26 kernel.  thoughts?05:06
paultagseidos0: check package name and suite05:07
gunndawgis 2.6.26 the latest ?05:07
matt223/sbin/alsa is a text file05:09
matt223where's the device05:10
matt223*sound05:11
matt223?hello?05:13
matt223seidos0?05:14
seidos0matt223: went afk05:15
seidos0matt223: okay guess number 2 is ls /sbin/*alsa*05:16
seidos0gunndawg: i'm going back, latest isn't working05:16
gunndawgseidos0: alright05:17
seidos0paultag: i did sudo apt-cache search kernel and sudo apt-cache search linux-image05:17
seidos0well, i tried all the iso for 8.04, 9.10, and 10.04.  but sd card isn't being detected when i insert it.05:19
seidos0maybe i should be putting it into all these devices05:20
seidos0it probably has a std "sharing transmitted disease"05:20
matt223what should i enter in vlc for audio05:21
seidos0sudo apt-get install vlc05:22
gunndawgvlc acts weird for me, it opens files but wont play them05:22
gunndawgjust sits there05:22
seidos0can't help you, vlc libs cannot be authenticated matt22305:23
gunndawgwell it plays some .mp3's05:23
gunndawgand others it wont05:23
seidos0matt223: do you know why when i try to install vlc to help you, the libs can't be authenticated?05:23
matt223i already have it. i mean in the open capture device dialog05:23
seidos0matt223: no idea05:23
matt223i should just be the audio of the converter05:24
matt223like how the video is at /dev/video105:25
gunndawgmatt223: how are you gonna be the audio ?05:25
seidos0i need some DNS servers, stat!05:29
matt223255.255.255.005:30
matt223wait, that's subnet. 10.0.0.105:38
seidos0i found public dns05:39
seidos0i had found it before...but i could't recall the ip's fast enough05:39
gunndawgwhy do you need a dns ?05:42
gunndawgwhen I get bored I take my terminal window and drag it around and admire the wobbly windows :)05:43
seidos0nothing serious05:48
matt223thumbs for wobbly windows05:52
matt223*up05:52
gunndawgmatt223: :)05:54
gunndawgmatt223: do you use them as well ?05:54
gunndawgThis makes no sense, I have nothing open and my CPU is running at 100%06:19
gunndawggonna reboot, this is odd06:19
bioterrorreboot fixes everything06:20
seidos0should've told him about top06:20
seidos0so he could find what process it is06:20
seidos0dang, bash is quite cryptic06:21
bioterrorgunndawg, next time: top06:22
gunndawgback06:22
gunndawgbioterror: yeah I forgot about that06:22
gunndawgout of nowhere it just maxed my CPU 100% and didnt move06:22
bioterrorwindows user I see :D06:22
gunndawgbioterror:  we were all windows users at one point06:23
seidos0forgetting to remember is highly annoying06:23
gunndawgthat was kinda freaky though, out of no where bam 100% and didnt fluctuate to 99% or anything, just pinned at 100%, nothing open06:23
gunndawgno browsers, just irssi06:23
seidos0was glchess open?06:24
* seidos0 believes in the linux06:24
gunndawgseidos0: no06:25
seidos0ah, we'll never know, now.06:26
seidos0oh well.06:26
gunndawgnow everything is fine, I am even running chromium and sitting at 4% usage06:26
gunndawgnow im monitoring top to see what spikes06:27
gunndawgwhat is "Xorg"06:27
bioterrorit's X1106:28
seidos0gunndawg: the x "server".  it serves video06:28
bioterror!x1106:28
ubot2The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution06:28
gunndawghm, I wonder what caused it to pin my cpu at 100% like that and not move06:29
gunndawgthat was strange06:29
seidos0gunndawg: what video card are you using?06:30
bioterrorgunndawg, probably chromium or something else06:30
gunndawgbioterror: I wasnt running chromium06:30
gunndawgthats what confused me06:30
gunndawgits pretty common that it hits 100% when I run chromium but it wasnt open, thats what is odd06:30
gunndawgits down to about 70% now with chromium open and a live video feed showing06:31
seidos0clever. don't answer the question.06:31
seidos0haha06:31
gunndawghuh?06:31
seidos0gunndawg: i don't know if you are joking or serious06:32
gunndawgseidos0: about what ?06:32
seidos0gunndawg: that you didn't see my question06:32
gunndawgseidos0: you think I am making up the 100% cpu thing again just like you thought i was making something else up earlier ?06:32
gunndawgandrew_46: hey there06:32
andrew_46gunndawg: hello :)06:32
gunndawgseidos0: no I guess not, guess that makes me clever06:33
seidos0gunndawg: < seidos0> gunndawg: what video card are you using?06:33
gunndawgseidos0: the intel onboard intel chip that comes with this laptop, am i still clever ?06:33
seidos0gunndawg: yes and no06:33
seidos0which intel chip?06:34
gunndawgseidos0: I dont know, why ?06:34
seidos0i'm using GM96506:34
gunndawgandrew_46: whats goin on tonight06:34
gunndawgseidos0: im not sure what it is06:34
seidos0gunndawg: so we can prove that it's your video driver, then create a bug in launchpad, to get your system tip top06:34
seidos0gunndawg: do you want to know?06:34
andrew_46gunndawg: Almost time for my yoga class :)06:34
seidos0andrew_46: dhalsim says "yoga fire!"06:35
gunndawgseidos0: sure, but if its the CPU overheating how would that relate to my video ?06:35
seidos0gunndawg: because video is supposed to handle the processing, but can't, and so off loads it to cpu06:35
gunndawgseidos0: I dont mean overheating, I mean overworking, it never overheated06:35
gunndawgseidos0: alright, yeah tell me where to find it06:35
seidos0i assumed you meant that06:35
gunndawgseidos0: the chip information06:35
seidos0gunndawg: sudo lshw06:36
seidos0gunndawg: in a terminal06:36
gunndawgseidos0: just says PCI (sysfs)06:36
gunndawgoh wait06:36
gunndawgthere it goes06:36
gunndawgseidos0: this seems likst mostly hdd info06:37
seidos0display0 is where mine is displayed06:37
gunndawgseidos0: I dont see anything relating to video06:37
seidos0hey!  display0!06:37
seidos0hmmm, nope, not listed06:37
seidos0gunndawg: it's in there, keep looking06:38
madsailorhey gunndawg still tinkering, huh?06:38
seidos0i'm going to read the lshw manpage, thanks06:38
seidos0whoa, there's an x11 gui for lshw?06:38
gunndawgmadsailor: im having CPU issues, it keeps hitting 90 - 100%06:39
andrew_46gunndawg: What about sudo lspci | grep -i 'Graphics Controller'06:39
gunndawgmadsailor: trying to figureo ut why06:39
bioterrorgunndawg, and when you look at the top you see which process takes the CPU06:39
bioterrorgunndawg, it's not a rocket science06:39
gunndawgbioterror: im aware of that06:40
bioterrorgunndawg, you can install htop if you think normal top is hard to read06:40
gunndawgbioterror: i've read top, thanks06:40
madsailorgunndawg, for basic processor info (to see what you have) you can run cat /proc/cpuinfo06:40
gunndawgseidos0: Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated06:41
gunndawgmadsailor: yeah its a Celeron at 2.20GHz06:41
seidos0gunndawg: paste the output of sudo lshw to a paste bin06:41
gunndawgim pinned at 100% cpu now06:42
gunndawgand its not moving06:42
gunndawgjust dropped to 60%06:42
seidos0gunndawg: can/would you single out a process?06:42
gunndawgseidos0: yeah its chromium-browse06:43
seidos0gunndawg: and flash is open, right?06:43
gunndawgbut it does it on both chroimium and firefox06:43
gunndawgseidos0: yes sir06:43
madsailorgunndawg, you can see what processes are running an how much resources that are using under system > administration >system monitor06:43
gunndawgseidos0: im getting the output of lshw, hang on06:44
seidos0it must be something with his video card, i just know it.06:44
seidos0all the pieces in chromium on his system and on mine are the same06:44
seidos0gunndawg: maverick iirc06:44
seidos0iirc == if i recall correctly06:44
gunndawgseidos0: http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/rEdDYxA306:44
seidos0wrt == with respect to06:45
seidos0heh, i suppose = works just fine06:45
seidos0gunndawg: i'm assuming your cpu isn't stuck at 900mhz06:45
gunndawgmadsailor: it appears as though chromium-browse and chromium-browser are using the most memory06:46
gunndawgseidos0: im not sure06:46
seidos0gunndawg: probably not.  it was this line:  product: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU          900  @ 2.20GHz06:46
gunndawgI only have 2 tabs open in chromium yet there is like 3 instances of chromium-browse and 3 instances of chromium-browser06:47
seidos0gunndawg: we are using the same driver i915, and we have different hardware...06:47
gunndawgseidos0: right06:47
seidos0gunndawg: you should create a bug in launchpad against i915 i believe06:47
seidos0er, well, i guess it's against xorg06:48
gunndawgI've never filed a bug report, what info should I provide them ?06:48
gunndawglike right now its keepin below 20% and right now its 8%06:48
seidos0gunndawg: do alt-f2 ubuntu-bug xorg06:48
gunndawgthen randomly bam its way up there06:48
seidos0gunndawg: then follow the steps06:48
seidos0gunndawg: you can add cpu monitor to your top panel (one for each "cpu") to make sure the cpu frequency is going over 900mhz (though, it probably is, i am just paranoid)06:50
gunndawgseidos0: yeah06:51
gunndawgI cant imagine why it would be maxing my CPU, im not doing anything intense to the system06:51
seidos0gunndawg: do you get what i'm saying about the video driver?06:51
seidos0gunndawg: we compared our systems to a t, what were the differences?06:52
gunndawgseidos0: I think I had more ram, and bigger HDD ?06:52
seidos0gunndawg: but that's not relevant to the problem06:52
gunndawgwell im just answering your question06:52
gunndawgyou wanted to know what the differences were06:53
seidos0well more ram and bigger hdd won't cause a cpu spike06:53
gunndawgseidos0: I know that, once again. I was just answering the question06:53
gunndawgseidos0: you asked what the differences were, remember ?06:53
seidos0gunndawg: i remember and i forget.06:54
gunndawgseidos0: nevermind06:54
seidos0gunndawg: you're using maverick, correct?06:54
gunndawgseidos0: Ubuntu 10.10, yes06:54
gunndawgliek right now I have 4 tabs open in chromium, skype, pidgin, and irssi and im only hitting 11%06:55
seidos0gunndawg: and about:plugs in chromium says 10.1.102, correct?06:55
seidos0*about:plugins06:55
seidos0gunndawg: you should try other video intensive apps.  like watching a movie in totem.06:56
seidos0what else might be video intensive...hmmm.06:56
gunndawgseidos0: why would I do that when a simple embeded flash live stream uses more cpu than it should ?06:56
seidos0maybe glchess is also spiking because of video issues...06:56
gunndawgseidos0: possibly06:56
seidos0gunndawg: simple?!06:57
seidos0gunndawg: but it's for testing purposes.06:57
seidos0if totem also uses a lot of cpu, then it's in video intensive apps06:57
seidos0it=bug06:57
gunndawgseidos0: but i was doing nothing but sitting on the desktop with minimal programs running and no internet browser when it pinned at 100%06:58
gunndawgno video going of any sort, anywhere06:58
seidos0gunndawg: but you didn't do top T_T06:58
seidos0so we can't say what that was06:58
gunndawgim wondering if i should scrap Chromium and go with google chrome06:58
gunndawgcould be as simple as that06:58
seidos0well, you have a gui up06:59
madsailoragents06:59
seidos0madsailor: ?06:59
gunndawgmadsailor: hopefully they arent federal06:59
seidos0gunndawg: could be06:59
seidos0gunndawg: oh wait, except i'm using chromium, and i don't have the problem you're having07:00
gunndawgseidos0: that doesnt mean it cant fix my issue07:00
seidos0gunndawg: true.  but the probability isn't very high.07:01
seidos0gunndawg: hey, it's worth a shot.  but if i were you, i'd create the bug wrt xorg07:01
gunndawgseidos0: I dont know what information to provide them with07:01
seidos0gunndawg: it provides information automatically07:02
seidos0thunder07:02
gunndawgit wants me to type in a summary and Further Information07:02
seidos0gunndawg: i can give you a hand with that if you'd like07:03
gunndawgseidos0: what information do I provide them07:04
gunndawgseidos0: you said it did it automatically, but it doesnt07:04
seidos0gunndawg: generally speaking, it does07:04
gunndawgseidos0: that doesnt make sense07:05
gunndawgseidos0: how would it know I am having CPU spike issues automatically without me telling them that07:05
seidos0gunndawg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/563732/ for what i believe you should include.  feel free to change it so that you are comfortable with it07:08
seidos0gunndawg: it makes sense to me07:08
AscavasaionI have been sent here from #ubuntu to rant and rave about my dodgy Ubuntu install.  All I wanted was to install Ubuntu and get it runnign and then do an apt-get install xubuntu-desktop and run it light.   But no... I cannot boot the IDE unless the CDROM and DVDROM drives are empty because it then just hangs with odd errors.  Then when it does boot it does not load gdm.  Then when I try an apt-get install gdm it cannot resolv07:10
Ascavasaione the local mirror.  I then check and see that there is no network, no sound, and the shutdown button in Gnome does nothing.  So basically everything is screwed up.  I have reinstalled it three times ina row now and each time something different.  Last time Grub would not work, the previous time it was Xorg not opening.  Surely this is ridiculous.07:10
bioterrorAscavasaion, and they sent you to here07:11
bioterrorAscavasaion, have you tried boot flag "acpi=off"?07:12
bioterrorsounds like it might do the trick07:12
bioterrorand would you tell us more about your hardware07:12
bioterroris it build from the the scratch or did you grab a HP or Acer or something from store07:12
seidos0that's interesting, there are no 100% cpu usage bugs in launchpad when i do a search07:13
seidos0oh, dang it...07:13
Ascavasaionbioterror: It is an AMD Duron 1300Mhz, 384Mb RAM and 20Gb HDD.  It is a machine I put together from old parts... but Windows 2000 runs on it, and Ubuntu used to run on it.07:14
bioterrorokay07:14
bioterrorAscavasaion, have you tried alternate installation?07:14
Ascavasaionbioterror: Alternate as in?07:15
bioterrora text based installer07:15
bioterrorhttp://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download07:15
Ascavasaionbioterror: Let me guess?  Another ISO I have to download?  All I ever get told is to download this ISO, and that ISO, etc.07:15
seidos0Ascavasaion: i'm sorry you're having difficulty.  i feel you.07:15
bioterrorAscavasaion, I asked have you tried07:15
bioterrorAscavasaion, I dont know what the #ubuntu guys have done with you07:16
AscavasaionAaaah, it is another ISO download... sigh.07:16
Ascavasaionbioterror: No, i have not.07:16
bioterrorwhat they told you to download then?07:16
seidos0Ascavasaion: do you use the torrent files to download the isos?07:17
bioterrorI had problems to install xubuntu to my parents-in-law computer and alternate went in without a prob07:17
seidos0torrent files are much faster in my experience07:17
seidos0makes it less painful to download them07:17
bioterrorAscavasaion, but would you like to tell us more about the iso files07:17
Ascavasaionbioterror: Well, I have tried DSL, PuppyLinux, Fluppy, Turbo Pup, Ubuntu 9.something, Ubuntu 10.04, umm.. FreeBSD, etc... and each one has different issues.07:18
seidos0Ascavasaion: what are your thoughts?  it's your system.  at this point you know more about it than us.07:18
seidos0Ascavasaion: do you think there's a bug?  if so, where do you believe it to exist?07:19
Cheri703what would be a few steps up from bare minimum specs you'd recommend on a video card for a business computer that will primarily be doing basic office stuff, and occasionally video?07:19
bioterrorAscavasaion, what kind of probs you had with FreeBSD for example07:19
Ascavasaionseidos0: Not hardware... I had Windows 2000 on it last night... worked perfectly.07:19
Ascavasaionbioterror: FreeBSD is the problem hehe07:19
bioterrorit is if you dont undertand port system07:19
seidos0Ascavasaion: yeah, drivers may be a problem.  the kernel developers do work quite hard from what i understand.07:20
AscavasaionI am wasting your time guys... nobody is going to be able to help me with this.  I know I sound defeatist and perhaps I am... but I am tired.07:20
bioterrorI've got lots of time07:20
bioterror:D07:20
seidos0so do i :D07:20
bioterrorhey joe!07:20
gunndawgugh, now im having problems with the hilightwin.pl acript for irssi07:21
seidos0and i realize you don't want to spend the rest of your life working on this Ascavasaion, but this is the nature of the beast.  if win2k was open source, and the drivers for all your hardware, you wouldn't have a problem i suspect07:21
AscavasaionAs Ubuntu releases have progressed I see more and more Ubuntu going the Windows way... reinstall, reinstall.... and yes... reinstall.07:21
Ascavasaionseidos0: True.07:21
bioterrorAscavasaion, that's not true ;D07:22
AscavasaionThis computer is old... everythign in it is ancient... if it is not supported then I do not know.07:22
seidos0Ascavasaion: nay.  Ubuntu is FOSS.  Windows still isn't.  but perhaps someday :D07:22
JoeMaverickSetthey bio :D07:22
seidos0Ascavasaion: i feel your pain.  i wish it just worked without any effort at all07:23
bioterrorAscavasaion, what kind of grub parameters you've tried?07:23
Ascavasaionseidos0: I do not mind a few tweaks here and there... but last night's install Grub  never installed... and this morning it is Xorg not starting, amongst other things.07:24
bioterroroh, seems like seidos0 is helping you07:24
bioterrorI'm of this now07:24
seidos0Ascavasaion: if there is a bug that we can report to the developers on your hardware, i'd like to do find it.  it would help improve hardware support.07:24
Ascavasaionbioterror: I never even bothered witht he grub settings because it never even installed grub or grub-install.  I tried to manually install them and it could not resolve.  I mean seriously... my network is not working... but it managed to download during the install... how does that make sense???07:25
seidos0bioterror: i think i need you on this one.07:25
seidos0think = believe07:25
seidos0gunndawg: i don't use the hilight script.  i used to.  don't really need it07:25
gunndawgseidos0: yeah I know, brb07:26
AscavasaionOkay, I am going to reinstall... AGAIN!07:26
bioterrorAscavasaion, wait!07:26
gunndawgok fixed that problem07:26
seidos0i'm not even sure what iso i would use if i were you Ascavasaion07:27
seidos0gunndawg: *fist bump*07:27
gunndawgseidos0: lol07:27
Ascavasaionseidos0: Ubuntu 10.04 used to work... nowit does not.07:27
bioterrorAscavasaion, http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/maverick/release/alternate/xubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso could you try this one for the reinstallation07:27
seidos0Ascavasaion: it could be the hdd is failing.  do you have a spare?  how does it work from live cd?07:28
Ascavasaionseidos0: Hard disk is fine.07:28
seidos0Ascavasaion: and from live iso?  any problems?07:28
Ascavasaionseidos0: Nope.07:29
seidos0bioterror: thoughts?07:29
bioterrorseidos0, I think he should first try alternate install07:29
Ascavasaionbioterror: But on previous times 10.04 installed on this machine from the same disc.07:29
bioterroras he's hardware aint the top of the line07:30
bioterrorhis07:30
gunndawgAnyone wanna play some poker on PokerTH ?07:31
bioterrorgunndawg, these kind of things goes to #ubuntu-beginners-team07:31
seidos0Ascavasaion: hmmm, yeah, you did say it works fine on win2k.  so hdd should be fine then.07:31
gunndawgbioterror: what sorts of things ?07:31
JoeMaverickSettgunndawg: about poker07:31
Ascavasaionseidos0: It even used to run fine on Ubuntu 10.04/07:31
JoeMaverickSettgunndawg: this is a *support* channel07:31
gunndawgJoeMaverickSett: is that a poker channel ?07:32
JoeMaverickSettgunndawg: no, but less stricter in the sense that you could talk about poker07:32
seidos0Ascavasaion: what happened w/ 10.04?07:32
seidos0wrt = with respect to07:33
Ascavasaionseidos0: Ran perfectly.07:33
bioterrorAscavasaion, kernels changes and so on. hard to say07:33
seidos0Ascavasaion: then use 10.04, it's LTS07:34
Ascavasaionbioterror: It was the same disc I installed from.07:34
Ascavasaionseidos0: I am uing 10.0407:34
AscavasaionWell trying to at least07:34
bioterroryou say you have problems and you say you use same disc07:34
bioterrorI'm not really getting this now07:34
bioterrorand guys talking about poker aint making this any easier to track :D07:35
Ascavasaionbioterror: I usedto have Ubuntu 10.04 on... it worked... I then put Windows 2000 on and it worked... now when I try 10.04 again everythign goes haywire.07:35
gunndawgbioterror: oh relax07:35
bioterrorAscavasaion, can you try the alternate iso?07:37
Ascavasaionbioterror: No, I have wasted enough of my monthly Internet cap on Ubuntu.07:37
bioterrordoes people really pay for the bw they use? :o07:38
Ascavasaionbioterror: Yes, I am from South africa... where we have the highest crime in the world, and the highest cost for telephone calls.07:39
bioterrorand vuvuzelas! ;)07:39
* nlsthzn agrees that telecommunication in SA is the sucks07:39
Ascavasaionbioterror: I hate those things.07:40
bioterrorAscavasaion, if I remember right, the disc has that "check if disc is okay" boot option07:44
Ascavasaionbioterror: As I said, the disc is fine because I have used it before... on this very computer in fact.07:45
bioterrorI like your attitude07:46
bioterrorI dont know why you came here to ask for help, if it's not wanted07:46
Ascavasaionbioterror: hehe  I was not having attitude there07:46
Ascavasaionbioterror: ????07:47
Ascavasaionbioterror: It is fine then hey... you need not try to help me any more.07:47
* nlsthzn wonders what is up with all the attitude on this fluffy Monday??07:47
gunndawghe never had an attitude07:49
Ascavasaionnlsthzn: I do not have attitude.... why is everyone saying that?07:49
* seidos0 is wondering why his feet hurt07:49
Ascavasaionseidos0: From kicking arse?07:50
Ascavasaionehehhe07:50
seidos0Ascavasaion: i wish07:50
gunndawgAscavasaion: bioterror is just being his normal self07:50
nlsthznAscavasaion: Strange... I never remember naming anyone... just observing the general pissyness going on that is all...07:50
Ascavasaionnlsthzn: HAHAH  considering that I am the only one in here asking for help heehhe  Cool buddy :)07:50

seidos0if such a thing is even possible07:51
nlsthznAscavasaion: If the shoe fits (or you are hell bend on making it fit) then wear it07:51
seidos0i suck at programming07:51
Ascavasaionnlsthzn: *chuckle*07:51
gunndawgseidos0: what language ?07:52
gunndawgseidos0: programming takes time, and lots of it07:53
gunndawgseidos0: I've spent years programming and still have a TON to learn07:53
seidos0gunndawg: python07:53
seidos0or whatever software center is written in07:54
gunndawgseidos0: why do you wanna program in whatever language software center is written in ?07:54
gunndawgseidos0: thats a bit random07:54
seidos0gunndawg: do you have any experience with that?07:54
gunndawgseidos0: do I have any experience with what?07:54
seidos0gunndawg: software center programming07:55
gunndawgI dont know what "software center" programming is07:55
gunndawgthat isnt a language07:55
Ascavasaion45% with the install.07:57
Ascavasaion54%08:04
AscavasaionOh cool... a new error... this time the disc is either damaged or dirty ehehhe08:07
JackyAlcinegunndawg: It's written in Python, believe it or not.08:07

seidos0gunndawg: just there is synchronicity.  i am adding torrents to transmission right now08:17
gunndawgthat doesnt answer my question08:17
seidos0Ascavasaion: is there something i may assist you with?08:17
seidos0perhaps because there is no such thing as randomness08:18
gunndawgseidos0: you make no sense08:18
Ascavasaionseidos0: Nope... I am doing the Ubuntu thing... reinstalling:)08:18
seidos0Ascavasaion: like the windows thing, reinstalling :|08:19
Ascavasaionseidos0: YEs :)  Exactly... Ubuntu is Windows 8 :)08:19
seidos0gunndawg: i think you meant cents08:19
gunndawgseidos0: no08:20
seidos0Ascavasaion: no08:20
seidos0Ascavasaion: question?08:20
Ascavasaionseidos0: heehheeh  Sure buddy.08:21
AscavasaionIgnore me... I am just trashing Ubuntu because I am too stupid to get it to work... nothing wrong with Ubuntu... it is free, has a few features, and it is not Windows.08:21
MrChrisDruif1Ascavasaion: What are you talking about?08:22
seidos0Ascavasaion: you should probably ignore me too.  i am not a developer.08:22
AscavasaionMrChrisDruif1: Just my Ubuntu woes.08:22
Ascavasaionseidos0: You and bioterror were both a great help earlier.08:23
MrChrisDruif1Ascavasaion: And what are your woes?08:23
gunndawgseidos0: you are a software center developer08:23
AscavasaionMrChrisDruif1: Actually... woes is woe... Ubuntu :)08:23
seidos0gunndawg: i appreciate the sentiment08:23
seidos0:')08:23
gunndawgseidos0: that was random08:24
seidos0gunndawg: you make no sense08:24
MrChrisDruif1Why are you sad with Ubuntu Ascavasaion?08:24
gunndawgseidos0: no you just can't comprehend08:25
seidos0gunndawg: teach me then08:25
AscavasaionMrChrisDruif1: Does not matter... I have been here all morning and not got 1 step closer to a working Ubuntu system... I should shut up and stop flooding the channel.08:25
MrChrisDruif1Ascavasaion: It takes some getting used to a new Operating System :)08:26
gunndawgAscavasaion: why are you having so many issues? all i did was put the CD in and hit install08:26
seidos0MrChrisDruif1: i'm saddened with Ubuntu everytime it doesn't work for someone :(08:26
MrChrisDruif1And we've helped a lot of people here (among the problem were partitioning)08:26
AscavasaionMrChrisDruif1: Not new to me... I started using Ubuntu when it was version 6.x08:26
Ascavasaiongunndawg: Exactly :)08:27
gunndawgAscavasaion: so whats the issue ?08:27
seidos0MrChrisDruif1: Ascavasaion was saying he was having trouble with his ubuntu on his duron 1.3ghz 384MB ram08:27
gunndawgseidos0: I've seen ubuntu run on even lesser computer specs08:28
=== ApOgEE__ is now known as ApOgEE
MrChrisDruif1Yeah, but still...08:28
seidos0what's the difference between dove and imx51?08:28
MrChrisDruif1Ascavasaion: Might I make a suggestion?08:28
ApOgEEhi all08:28
seidos0gunndawg: same here.  i have 8.04 on a p3 1ghz08:28
AscavasaionMrChrisDruif1: YEs?08:29
MrChrisDruif1You could try Lubuntu, much less resource hungry and therefor less prone to break on those hardware specs08:29
AscavasaionMrChrisDruif1: All I want is to get Ubuntu onto the machine... and then apt-get install xubuntu-desktop08:29
JackyAlcineMrChrisDruif1: you have a 1.. lol, release.08:29
seidos0Mr ElfLord08:30
seidos0it's about time the elves showed up08:30
MrChrisDruif1Ascavasaion: Why do through the trouble of first trying to install Gnome and then install Xubuntu?08:30
MrChrisDruif1Or Xfce08:30
AscavasaionMrChrisDruif1: Because downloading all these ISOs wasted ym cap.08:31
gunndawgI wasnt a fan of Xubuntu08:31
MrChrisDruif1(Btw, Xfce and Gnome are both medium-weight distros...LXDE is much lighter)08:31
MrChrisDruif1Ascavasaion: You could also download the mini-ISO and use it to install Xubuntu/Lubuntu/*ubuntu08:31
seidos0gunndawg: it's all right.  i just prefer ubuntu.08:31
seidos0i like fluxbox, it has a retro feel to it08:32
seidos0if you want light, i think the retro feel works08:32
gunndawgi tried fluxbox also and it was ok, but to many things didnt wanna work with it, so I stuck to Gnome08:32
seidos0that is me08:32
* seidos0 does the walk of shame08:33
MrChrisDruif1seidos0: Add a block of shame...from "The Simpsons: Stonecutters" episode08:33
gunndawgThis channel would be dead if it were not for all of our off-topic conversations in here every night08:34
seidos0MrChrisDruif1: i don't recall that part.  refresh my memory.08:34
seidos0it wouldn't be "dead", it would just be "different"08:35
MrChrisDruif1seidos0: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjeVB7Me1yA08:35
gunndawgseidos0: no it would be dead08:35
Ascavasaion30%08:36
nlsthznjust means that ubuntu is working I guess and nobody needs assistance :)08:36
seidos0MrChrisDruif1: all right, block of shame it is08:36
MrChrisDruif1xD08:37
seidos0i think #ubuntu-school would be pretty awesome08:40
AscavasaionI think #ubuntu-suicidehotline would be good too.08:40
seidos0Ascavasaion: that's horrific!08:41
MrChrisDruif1Ascavasaion: funny in a way08:41
Ascavasaion:)08:41
seidos0funny if there is no need for it :)08:41
Ascavasaionseidos0: I doubt Ubuntu will cause someone to kill themselves... All one needs to do it reinstall Windows :)08:42

Ascavasaiongunndawg: hehehe  I am beginnign to feel that way about Ubuntu installation.08:44
* seidos0 puts on the stone of shame08:44
gunndawgAscavasaion: Again I had no issues installing it, just put CD in and hit install, done08:45
gunndawgAscavasaion: what problems do you have? error messages ?08:45
Ascavasaiongunndawg: I know... I think I am the common denominator here08:45
MrChrisDruif1I gag :P08:45
Ascavasaiongunndawg: Oh, different ones each time... lost count of them.08:45
seidos0gunndawg: on your toshiba?  that's awesome \o/08:45

MrChrisDruif1Ascavasaion: If you run another update after reboot...then you'll get another 200+ or something :P08:57
seidosi tried setting network settings, but it didn't work because of a routing issue08:58
AscavasaionMrChrisDruif1: Exactly... what a waste of my cap.08:58

gunndawgseidos: do I need to ?09:05
seidosgunndawg:  i believe you should.09:08
seidosgunndawg: or #ubuntu-school09:08
MrChrisDruif1GTG09:09
seidosi should go to sleep, i'm trying too hard09:09
Ascavasaion88%, still downloading language packs.09:11
gunndawgseidos: why should I join #ubuntu-school? what channel is that ?09:13
AscavasaionThis Ubuntu installation seems to be the best one so far... 93%09:17
gunndawgAscavasaion: crash at 98%09:20
Ascavasaiongunndawg: Probably.09:21
AscavasaionInstallation finished... rebooting now.09:23
AscavasaionOkay, installation went fine this time... Ubuntu is an enigma hehe  So, what is a nice lightweight desktop manager?  xubuntu the best option?09:30
bioterrorAscavasaion, lubuntu09:30
JackyAlcineAscavasaion: LXDE09:31
AscavasaionOkay, thank you09:32
gunndawgGNOME :)09:36
Ascavasaiontee hee... smartarse!09:36
MrChrisDruif??09:36
MrChrisDruifWhat about lxde JackyAlcine?09:36
MrChrisDruifOw...09:36
MrChrisDruifRead a bit back09:37
MrChrisDruifgunndawg: GNOME isn't light ;)09:37
MrChrisDruifIt's medium09:37
gunndawgIt's delicious09:38
MrChrisDruifYeah, but it's light to digest ;)09:38
gunndawgWould you rather eat a low fat cake that taste kinda dull, or a cake with a few extra calories, but taste DELICIOUS :)09:38
MrChrisDruifgunndawg: LXDE looks good and can be themed to your taste09:39
gunndawgMrChrisDruif: so can GNOME :009:39
Ascavasaionlubuntu = lxde?09:39
MrChrisDruifYeah, but Gnome isn't light09:39
MrChrisDruifAscavasaion: Kinda :)09:39
MrChrisDruifIt's not default LXDE but uses it as base :)09:39
AscavasaionMrChrisDruif: I meant, does lubuntu use lxde Window Manager.09:39
gunndawglight isnt always good09:40
MrChrisDruifNo, but neither does LXDE itself :)09:40
MrChrisDruifIt uses OpenBox09:40
gunndawgim just messin around, I dont know enough about all the different options out there to know what i am talking about. I just use what the base ubuntu 10.10 installation came with09:41
gunndawgand am happy with it09:41
MrChrisDruifMe too, but for certain lower spect PC it's not suitable :)09:41
gunndawgMrChrisDruif: I wouldnt consider my laptop to be high end09:42
MrChrisDruifNo, but higher than a netbook right?09:42
gunndawgMrChrisDruif: I'd be surprised09:42
MrChrisDruifI don't know your laptop O:-)09:42
gunndawg2.20GHz Celeron CPU, 2gb ram, 250GB HDD09:43
gunndawgim upgrading to 4gb ram and a 500gb HDD soon09:43
Puck`wow09:43
Puck`what do you operate on 4GB's ?09:43
MrChrisDruifDefault netbook has an Atom 330 (which is dual-core) @ 1,66GHz09:43
gunndawgPuck`: what do you mean ?09:43
MrChrisDruifOr even an Atom N230 which is single-core09:44
Puck`I mean what do you do with 4GB on RAM's on Ubuntu?09:44
gunndawgMrChrisDruif: yeah I dont even think mine is a dual-core, think its just single09:44
gunndawgPuck`: who knows, why ?09:44
Puck`too many questions, I can't take it ((:09:44
MrChrisDruif:P09:44
gunndawgPuck`: I play quite a few games that could benefit from the extra ram09:45
MrChrisDruifgunndawg: I think it's marginally better then a netbook :)09:45
Puck`< MrChrisDruif> Default netbook has an Atom 330 (which is dual-core) @ 1,66GHz09:45
Puck`not Dual, Sir09:45
Puck`(:09:45
Puck`or maybe the newer ones are Dual ones, but the 1st generation netbooks are not09:45
MrChrisDruifPuck`: Opening a lot of applications (or tabs in chromium) would kindly use the RAM :D09:45
gunndawgPuck`: 4gb ram is pretty standard for computers now days, you act surprised about 4gb of ram09:45
Puck`MrChrisDruif: ohhh not chrome, maybe in Firefox09:46
Puck`gunndawg: well because I barely use 1 GB of RAM09:46
MrChrisDruifNo, chromium too09:46
MrChrisDruifEach tab is a separate process09:46
bioterrorPuck`, open GIMP and few RAW photos and you have ~3GB in use ;)Å09:46
Puck`but Chromium is not a resource hog, I can fly around with 20 tabs easily, but in firefox ... ouhm :\09:47
gunndawgI could benefit from a larger processor, just watching videos on chromium maxes my CPU out09:47
Puck`bioterror: yeah, that's why I asked what's he gonna do, 'cause editing photos may take up that much of RAM09:47
Ascavasaiongunndawg: What are you running?09:48
MrChrisDruifPuck`: I feel the same09:48
gunndawgAscavasaion: hardware wise ?09:48
Ascavasaiongunndawg: Yes... seeing as the Chromium maxes you out.09:48
gunndawgAscavasaion: just IRSSI, pidgin, and chromium09:48
gunndawgAscavasaion: 2.20GHz celeron processor, 2gb RAM09:48
Ascavasaiongunndawg: That is a nice machine.09:48
gunndawgAscavasaion: its not "nice" its low end for a laptop09:49
Ascavasaiongunndawg: I am running a Intel dual core with 2Gb RAM Laptop.09:49
Ascavasaiongunndawg: and that is all I could afford.09:49
gunndawgAscavasaion: thats better than mine09:50
gunndawgAscavasaion: you have dual core, I dont09:50
bioterrorkrohm... are we helping someone? ;)09:50
gunndawgAscavasaion: I wonder if I do have dual core because my system monitor says Core 0 and Core 109:51
gunndawgAscavasaion: but they both show the same level of activity, as though its only one09:51
Ascavasaiongunndawg: Oh, I see.  Well... my two desktops are an AMD Athlon XP with 256Mb RAM and an AMD Duron with 384Mb RAM :)09:51
gunndawgAscavasaion: ouch09:51
Ascavasaiongunndawg: HAHA!!!09:52
Ascavasaiongunndawg: What does Googling the laptop model for specs?09:52
bioterrorgunndawg, how about less /proc/cpuinfo09:52
bioterroror dmesg |grep cpu09:53
bioterrorsorry, |grep CPU09:53
gunndawgbioterror: I dont know what that does09:53
gunndawghttp://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/toshiba-satellite-c655-s5049/4505-3121_7-34121930.html09:53
gunndawgthats my laptop09:53
bioterroryou guys should spend some time checking out what /proc tells you09:55
gunndawgbioterror: when I get around to it, then sure09:56
Ascavasaionbioterror: I checked /proc/cpuinfo... 2 x 1.83 Intel processors :)09:57
gunndawgI get Permission Denied when trying to run /proc/cpuinfo09:58
Ascavasaiongunndawg: sudo09:58
gunndawgtried that09:58
geirhaIt's a textfile, not an executable file.09:58
bioterrorgunndawg, less09:58
bioterroror cat09:58
Ascavasaiongunndawg: I did vi /proc/cpuinfo09:58
gunndawgless or cat, what ?09:58
bioterrorless or chat09:59
bioterrorcat even09:59
bioterrorwhich ever suits you more09:59
Ascavasaiongunndawg: cat is probably the best option :)09:59
bioterrorI prefer less09:59
bioterroras I want to pgup and pgdown09:59
Ascavasaionbioterror: Yes.09:59

bioterroryour choice10:10
Ascavasaionbioterror: Thanks for you help by the way10:11
bioterrorAscavasaion, you made another CD? ;)10:11
Ascavasaionbioterror: No... I just reran the install over and over and over.10:13
gunndawgI think I'll just stick to my current setup10:13

gunndawgandrew_46: what are you up to? what else ya workin on?10:38
andrew_46gunndawg: I have a website I potter around with.....10:43
gunndawgandrew_46: you should join #ubuntu-offtopic so we can chit chat10:44
andrew_46gunndawg: Most popular page: http://www.andrews-corner.org/mutt.html10:44

andrew_46mutt is sort of on topic...... sort of......10:44
gunndawgI cant wait for 11.0410:45
gunndawg:)10:45
andrew_46gunndawg: Looking forward to unity?10:45
gunndawgandrew_46: I havent done any research about unity10:46
s-foxHello.10:46
andrew_46s-fox: hi :)10:46
s-foxHey andrew_46 it has been some time,  keeping well ?10:47
andrew_46s-fox: Not too bad, and you?10:47
gunndawgandrew_46: what is unity ?10:48
nlsthzn!unity10:48
ubot2Unity is a shell for GNOME, but it is not GNOME-shell. See http://unity.ubuntu.com and http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/10/31/unity-some-further-clarification-points/ for more information. Have a question, check http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/unity10:48
* nlsthzn likes the bots :)10:48
gunndawgthat site didnt tell me much, is it a program ?10:49
gunndawgor a new desktop enviroment that does more10:49
gunndawgor what10:49
andrew_46gunndawg: Newest thing for Ubuntu, causing a few waves, changes the look of Ubuntu to a more 'Fisher Price' look :)10:50
* andrew_46 hopes there is a Fisher Price outside of Australia...10:50
gunndawgso it makes it look cheap and kid like?10:51
gunndawgthat sounds dumb10:51
gunndawgI like the current look and feel10:51
andrew_46gunndawg: There was some success on netbooks and I believe Mark Shuttleworth was keen to extend this success10:52
gunndawgany screenshots of it so I can see what it really is ?10:53
gunndawgim lookin at some now10:53
gunndawgI dont like that left bar :(10:54
bioterrorhaha10:54
bioterroryou're not only one10:54
JackyAlcinegunndawg: GNOME 3 FTW!10:54
andrew_46I am not running it I have to admit, so I should not cast too many aspersions10:54
gunndawgI am a sad panda looking at these screenshots10:56
andrew_46gunndawg: I will be running xfce 4.8 soon enough, not keen on experimentng with unity10:56
andrew_46i10:56
s-foxandrew_46,  You know me, busy busy busy.  I'm doing okay though thank you.10:57
andrew_46s-fox: I have popped in here a few times recntly, ##ufbt has been quiet10:57
* andrew_46 tries to remember not to chat offtopic too much....10:58
gunndawgandrew_46: I have used XFCE before, 4.8 looks pretty nice11:01
andrew_46gunndawg: They are still shaking a few bugs out, 4.8.1 exists for some packages so I am hlding off for a while, 4.6.2 has been kind to me11:05
bioterrorAscavasaion, how's your lubuntu-desktop installation doing?11:08
Ascavasaionbioterror: Very nicely thank you...It looks very very nice,.11:09
bioterrorAscavasaion, http://ricecows.org/slubuntu.png something like that11:09
gunndawgAscavasaion: screenshot time, show us ur setup!11:11
Ascavasaionbioterror: Sort of... nice desktop monitor in that one.11:11
bioterrorAscavasaion, sudo apt-get install conky11:12
gunndawgyeah I use conky also11:13
gunndawgbut i wanna get a new conky theme11:13
gunndawgbored of the one I have11:13
bioterrorgunndawg, make one11:13
bioterrorthat's what the FOSS is all about!11:13
bioterror^__^11:13
gunndawghttp://min.us/mveTS0Q11:13
gunndawgthats the one I have11:13
bioterrorgunndawg, less is more11:14
gunndawgbioterror: in your opinion11:14
gunndawgbioterror: I like it11:14
AscavasaionConky looks VERY different on my machine,.11:17
gunndawgAscavasaion: you need to modify the config file11:17
gunndawgAscavasaion: otherwise the default look is yeah, very broken11:17
AscavasaionOh, okay hehe11:18
gunndawgAscavasaion: I could send you my config file source to paste into urs11:18
gunndawgAscavasaion: as a start, then you can modify it from there11:18
Ascavasaiongunndawg: I would appreciate that... floydianslip73@gmail.com11:19
gunndawgAscavasaion: I'll just pastebin it11:21
gunndawgAscavasaion: then just copy it from pastebin into ur conky config11:21
Ascavasaiongunndawg: Sure thing.11:21
gunndawgAscavasaion: http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/0Uet4R7N11:22
gunndawgAscavasaion: go to /etc/conky and open conky.conf and overwrite what is in there with mine11:23
bioterrornope11:23
bioterror.conkyrc11:23
bioterrorin ~/11:23
gunndawgnope11:24
gunndawgmine is in /etc11:24
bioterrorit's ~/.conkyrc11:24
gunndawgno11:24
bioterrorwanna fight?! :D11:24
gunndawgI know my system better than you do11:25
gunndawgmine is in /etc/conky11:25
AscavasaionDo not fight over me boys HAHA!11:25
gunndawglet me know if ya get it workin11:25
Ascavasaiongunndawg: I think yours is system wide... and bioterror's allows each user to uniquely set it up.11:25
gunndawgI only use one user, so maybe11:26
* andrew_46 gets the jousting sticks out11:26
bioterrorgunndawg, last time you didnt know about /proc/cpuinfo ;)11:26
gunndawgbioterror: no but I know where my conky is installed11:27
gunndawgbioterror: and its not where you keep saying11:28
bioterrorand there's really no idea to edit /etc/conky/something since you have to use sudo for editing the config when you can just use your own user account for the .conkyrc WHICH IS READ BY DEFAULT IF IT EXISTS11:28
gunndawgwell i set my conky up by editing conky.conf11:29
gunndawgso.... not sure what your doing11:29
bioterrornot teaching people to do things wrong11:29
gunndawgim not teaching anyone to do anything wrong11:30
gunndawgbecause nothing I have done with conky is wrong11:30
gunndawgI think you are confused11:30
bioterroram I?11:30
gunndawgI think so, yes11:30
bioterrorwhy?11:30
AscavasaionBoy, am I sorry I asked heeh11:31
gunndawgAscavasaion: lol11:31
gunndawgAscavasaion: did you get it workin ?11:31
bioterrorI still think that unnecessary /etc/ configuring is not needed if you can do it inside your ~/ without sudo11:31
Ascavasaiongunndawg: Will do that later... lunch time now.11:31
gunndawgAscavasaion: sounds good11:31
gunndawgbioterror: its worked perfectly for me, so I think it will be just fine, you can relax11:31
gunndawgbioterror: not only me, but several other people11:32
bioterrorgunndawg, why edit /etc/something if the ~/.something has the #1 priority to be read first11:32
gunndawgbioterror: because it works either way11:33
Ascavasaionhow do you get it to autostart each time you start Xorg?11:33
gunndawgbioterror: so keep doing it ur little way, and I'll do it my way, and the world will go around11:34
gunndawg:)11:34
AscavasaionConky that is11:35
Puck`talk about rudeness (:11:35
gunndawgAscavasaion: im not entirely sure11:35
bioterrorgunndawg, you can tell how you did it, ofcourse ;)11:36
gunndawgbioterror: i havent done it11:36
bioterror:(11:36
bioterrorAscavasaion, was it lubuntu what you were using?11:37
Ascavasaionbioterror: Yes11:39
bioterrorAscavasaion, it is done by creating ~/.config/autostart/conky.desktop11:40
bioterrormore about .desktop files from http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/11:40

kristian_hello all17:45
distort3dhello17:45
kristian_I want user "guest" to only be able to see /home/guest - what is the clever way to do this?17:46
kristian_also, I'd like all broser cache etc swept when "user" logs out - should I script this or is there a native way?17:48
holsteinkristian_: i would probably make another user account17:51
holsteina 'planned' guest account17:51
kristian_holstein, I already made the account, it's just the settings I'm trying to get right17:53
holsteini usually change the settings and comfirm17:53
holsteinif its a situation where im a little paranoid17:54
kristian_I'm not really paranoid, it's jut to whoever borrows my box to check mail etc17:55
kristian_holstein, this is Lubuntu, btw - might be a bit different GUI than regular *buntu17:56
holsteinnot sure17:56
holsteinthe user account settings are probably similar17:56
kristian_I guess I could just hide /home/kristian17:57
kristian_I set - kristian: read and write -- group: none -- other: none17:58
kristian_chromium: Cannot set permissions on symlinks17:59
kristian_Safe Browsing Bloom Filter 2: Cannot set permissions on symlinks17:59

kristian_grr.... and sorry for flooding17:59
holsteinim not sure what you're going for17:59
holsteinive always just let people check mail from the guest account18:00
holsteinin the browser18:00
kristian_holstein, I don' want the guest being able to see my stuff18:00
kristian_to be honest ;)18:00
holsteinright18:00
holsteinthey cant go in you dir right?18:00
holsteinyour*18:00
kristian_yes they can, by default18:00
holsteini locked down peppermint OS18:01
holsteinlike that18:01
holsteinrecently18:01
holsteinthe user could see home dir18:01
holsteinbut not enter18:01
holsteinthats LXDE18:01
kristian_I don't mind them seeing the dir18:01
holsteinubuntu 10.04 base18:01
kristian_this is lubuntu, should be similar18:02
kristian_lubuntu = ubuntu + lxde18:02
holsteini would think so18:03
kristian_just saw that I can't enter the hidden dirs in the /home/guest folder18:03
holsteinit was fiddly18:03
holsteinbut i got it18:03
holsteini didnt check the 'guest' account18:03
kristian_it's not really an advanced setting to want... I guess there's a one-liner for it18:03
holsteini needed to make a seperate user18:03
kristian_I have the separate user18:04
kristian_hmm... I'll login from that accound, hang on18:05
kristian_holstein, it seems to work18:11
kristian_I can see there is a folder called "kristian" when logged in as guest - but I can't open it18:11
kristian_the funny thing is I can cd for instance "kristian/Downloads" and go there - but I cannot ls the directory18:12
kristian_aften18:17

johnny77How do I turn on compositing in gnome?19:27
paultagjohnny77: compiz --replace19:27
paultagis the easiest way19:27
johnny77i thought the default WM had compositing.19:28
paultagjohnny77: metacity?19:28
johnny77yeah19:28
paultagjohnny77: narp19:28
johnny77hmm, I guess then wikipedia is wrong.19:29
johnny77thanks, I guess I just won't worry about it them19:30
johnny77*then19:30
paultagjohnny77: nowhere on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacity does it say it can composite :)19:30
johnny77yes, but here is the comparison table it does http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_window_managers19:31
kristian_hurm, memtest++ says "Test #5" by now - does this mean I'm done?19:31
paultagjohnny77: that's wrong :)19:31
johnny77I figured out that now. :)19:32
kristian_hi paultag19:32
paultaghowdy kristian_19:32
johnny77Just out of curiousity, can you run any WM by itself kind of like Openbox or fluxbox?19:35
paultagjohnny77: sure, just make sure it does not start *anything* on boot19:35
johnny77paultag: I've been liking fluxbox, but I might some other stuff out. I'd like to try a dock, but fluxbox can't run them.19:37
paultagjohnny77: mm19:39
johnny77I like Ubuntu for the choices it gives me, but I can also spend my whole life trying each one....19:40
kristian_geirha, whoops, sorry about the language gaffe - thought I was somewhere else ;)19:41
seidosjohnny77: i believe fluxbox has the potential for it, but it kind of defeats the purpose of fluxbox19:42
johnny77seidos: has the potential for a dock?19:43
johnny77paultag: Do you know if alt 1 is a default keybinding for anything in fluxbox?19:44
paultagdon't think so19:45
seidosjohnny77: yeah.  i'm sure it is possible for it to be programmed.  i couldn't do it though, and if i could i probably wouldn't19:46
AscavasaionHello all :)  HOw do I change resolution of my lubuntu desktop?  It only has 1024 x 768, 800x600 and 640x480.  How do I get it to go higher than 1024x768.  I know it can because windows ran higher.  It can run 1152x768 and 12080xsomething in windows.  Any advice?19:49
Ascavasaion12080=128019:49
paultagAscavasaion: there are tons of lubuntuers here, hang around :)19:49
Ascavasaionpaultag: :)19:49
holsteinmaybe http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2919:49
holsteinAscavasaion: ^^19:49
AscavasaionOkay, so that link never worked... the xrandr thing never worked... do I have to create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file now?19:55
distort3d<(^.^)>20:02
AscavasaionOkay, I created an xorg.conf file.  I then ran it using X -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf -retro.  It opens the standard grey screen and the mouse crosshairs.  HOw do I get it to open the desktop now?20:11
AscavasaionA simple reboot?20:11
holsteinAscavasaion: logout should do it20:12
Ascavasaionholstein: Trying it now :)20:12
AscavasaionOI entered login and password in the gdm login screen and it hangs.20:14
AscavasaionOoooooookay, rebooting yet again.20:16
AscavasaionThis time it works... aargh... Linux = Windows hehe20:17
AscavasaionOh, and it defaulted back to 1024x768.  So much for an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.20:17
holsteinhow about #lubuntu Ascavasaion20:19
holsteini remember doing it with a GUI20:19
holsteinin LXDE20:20
AscavasaionI asked there... no reply :)20:20
AscavasaionGUI only lists the three resolutions I mentioned originally.20:20
holsteinAscavasaion: O I C20:20
holsteinhmmm20:20
zkriesseAscavasaion: Well did ya at least wait for a few minutes20:20
Ascavasaionzkriesse: Wait for what?20:20
Ascavasaionafter I asked?20:21
holsteinxorg would be my next effort20:21
zkriessean answer for your question in #lubuntu20:21
Ascavasaion1/2 an hour I have waited in #lubuntu so far hehe20:21
zkriesseWell ask again20:25
zkriessePeople do sleep and stuff you know20:25
Ascavasaionzkriesse: hehe  Thanks man.20:28
zkriesseJust sayin20:28
johnny77Is compositing itself particularly RAM intensive?20:36
AscavasaionI am going to bed.20:38
Ascavasaionn ight20:38
AscavasaionNight20:38
kristian_hey all, remember the "sudden death" I talked about?21:08
kristian_I just ran a livecd and got logged out of gnome w/o warning21:08
kristian_an ubuntu livecd, actually... this should not happen21:08
seidoskristian_: sounds like a hardware problem.  you could create a bug from the livecd against the linux package21:21
johnny77I just installed docky from the repositories. The version I have is 2.0.7, but the website says the latest stable is 2.0.11. How do I update? Update Manager says there is not updates.21:25
kristian_my card is a Radeon HD 3450, btw21:28
seidosjohnny77: check the web for a "docky ubuntu ppa"21:28
johnny77ok, thanks.21:28

seidosah, software raid22:20
MrChrisDruifWell...that would work too :P22:20
pleia2shawn146: LVM is the logical volume manager, it helps you manage partitions (they can be resized across non-contiguous, backed up with snapshots and lots of other clever things)22:21
MrChrisDruifpleia2: The link I gave should cover it thoroughly :)22:22
shawn146oh22:23
shawn146do i want to enable that?22:23
shawn146or just the use whole harddrisk22:23
shawn146*harddisk22:23
