[00:00] <r4y> It's really small by default
[00:00] <r4y> But the image is big enough which doesn't make snese
[00:00] <r4y> sense
[00:00] <r4y> not snese
[00:00] <ddecator> so you set that as the icon for tong, but it auto-sized it and made it too small?
[00:00] <r4y> Yes
[00:01] <r4y> I tried resizing the height. Maybe I should try that again
[00:01] <ddecator> ah, alright, i get what you're saying now. i'm not sure if there is a way to change that in the menus or not, but you should be able to change it if it's on your desktop
[00:01] <r4y> Hold on, I got an idea
[00:04] <r4y> That did work. I resized the height even more to see what would happen.
[00:04] <r4y> didn't
[00:04] <r4y>  work
[00:04] <r4y> sorrry
[00:04] <ddecator> are you using gnome?
[00:04] <r4y> yes
[00:05] <r4y> I don't want to mess with setting
[00:05] <r4y> s
[00:05] <r4y> I want to be able to have any image open to the size I want it to
[00:05] <r4y> with in reason of coarse
[00:06] <admin1> I just configured kubuntu as a file server with a 2tb drive attached via USB.  I need to move 240GB data from NAS (linksys WRT610N router) to new file server.  copy/paste seems risky help?
[00:06] <ddecator> what do you mean by "have any image open to the size i want it to"? are you still talking about the icon in the applications menu?
[00:06] <r4y> What a second I got it
[00:06] <r4y> The name of the image changed things
[00:07] <MrChrisDruif> admin1: Seems risky?
[00:07] <r4y> It was Tong-title.png but now I changed it to Tongtitle.png and it changed size a little
[00:08] <aveilleux> admin1: I don't know how you expect to move files without copying and pasting them
[00:08] <admin1> Mr. Druif - yes, new to this command line editor, a bit different than dos is there something   similar to xcopy that I can use at the command level
[00:08] <aveilleux> admin1: cp
[00:08] <MrChrisDruif> admin1: You mean to say you've removed the KDE environment completely?
[00:09] <r4y> I meant I want to know what format to make any image open as an icon in any size I want with in reason. It's not like I want giant icons.
[00:09] <MrChrisDruif> aveilleux: That's what I wanted to say :P
[00:09] <aveilleux> admin1: GNU/Linux's cp command is as powerful if not more powerful than xcopy on DOS
[00:09] <admin1> no, I can see both shares in KDE, but the source drive is on network, not physically on this box
[00:11] <admin1> okay, let me look this cp deal up, can I use it from my Konsole...I assume I can use it from my terminal window...
[00:12] <MrChrisDruif> admin1: Yes, cp IS the terminal command :)
[00:12] <admin1> okay reading syntax  now
[00:13] <MrChrisDruif> Like "cp /path/to/original.location /path/to/new.location
[00:13] <admin1> can I use *.*
[00:13] <aveilleux> admin1: You should use * .*
[00:13] <aveilleux> admin1: asterisk-space-asterisl
[00:13] <aveilleux> k*
[00:13] <aveilleux> admin1: Because not every file will have a period in it
[00:14] <admin1> cp /path/to/source * .* /path/to/destination  like this
[00:14] <ddecator> r4y: .png is a common format for icons
[00:15] <MrChrisDruif> cp -r /path/to/source /path/to/destination is what your looking for I think....right aveilleux?
[00:15] <r4y> Right, there's another I believe as well, I will go look for the other
[00:15] <ddecator> r4y: .svg is scalable
[00:15] <r4y> xpm
[00:16] <ddecator> i'm not familiar with xpm..
[00:16] <r4y> Cool, I will try
[00:16] <aveilleux> admin1: Closer, yeah... you'd have to do cp -r /path/to/source/* /path/to/destination && cp -r /path/to/source/.* /path/to/destination
[00:16] <r4y> svg you say
[00:18] <admin1> okay...i set up a test directory or two and get it down before i try the entire project.
[00:18] <admin1> thanks for the help.....
[00:18] <ddecator> r4y: Scalable Vector Graphic (i think). svg images can be expanded/shrunk much more without losing detail
[00:18] <MrChrisDruif> ddecator: Your right
[00:19] <ddecator> MrChrisDruif: thanks, i was going to google that to make sure i got the acronym right, haha
[00:19] <MrChrisDruif> your welcome admin1 :)
[00:19] <r4y> Hmm, Gimp either doesn't have that as a save-able format or something. I also have Kolour Paint though. I will have to keep messing around
[00:19] <admin1> MrChrisDruif:  what about this rsync
[00:20] <MrChrisDruif> Ow, it's pretty awesome afaik....syncing accounts on local network
[00:20] <MrChrisDruif> (Haven't been able to test/work with it thou)
[00:20] <aveilleux> r4y: You can't save raster images as svg. That's not how it works. (GIMP is a raster editor)
[00:21] <r4y> OK
[00:21] <MrChrisDruif> And I also don't know if it's also good for only files...
[00:21] <r4y> How do I change it?
[00:21] <MrChrisDruif> r4y: svg files?
[00:21] <r4y> yes
[00:22] <MrChrisDruif> r4y: Gimp wasn't "build" for svg....use inkscape instead :)
[00:22] <aveilleux> r4y: You have to make the image in a vector editor, like Inkscape.
[00:22] <ddecator> MrChrisDruif: aw, beat me to it
[00:22] <MrChrisDruif> ddecator: I even beat aveilleux to the punch ;)
[00:22] <ddecator> r4y: it'll probably be easier to search for a .svg icon instead of trying to make one
[00:22] <r4y> Cool, I will try out Inkscape, sounds neat
[00:23] <ddecator> i'm not sure if inkscape is able to effectively convert images to .svg
[00:23] <r4y> I like learning
[00:23] <r4y> I just learned recently how to make transparent backgrounds using Gimp
[00:23] <MrChrisDruif> ddecator: I can't convert automatic afaik....normal images mis the right information
[00:24] <ddecator> MrChrisDruif: yah, that's what i thought
[00:25] <MrChrisDruif> It uses nodes to determine how something must look :)
[00:27] <admin1> mrchrisdruif:  can you look at this for me:  cp -r /coyoteden/family_share/tune zone/* /media/COYOTE_DRIVE/tune_zone && cp -r /coyoteden/family_share/tune zone/.* /media/COYOTE_DRIVE/tune_zone
[00:28] <MrChrisDruif> admin1: Should work, did you test it with a folder already?
[00:28] <admin1> source path has a space in the middle of it, is this going to be an issue?  it was created in windows (ouch) also, are path's case sensitive in this environment
[00:29] <ddecator> case sensitive yes
[00:29] <ddecator> space probably needs to be %20
[00:30] <ddecator> so tune%20zone
[00:30] <ddecator> good news is, for the existing directory, you can use <tab> complete
[00:31] <MrChrisDruif> Ow...the family_share is actually family share?
[00:31] <ddecator> so typing tun<tab> should complete it for you when you get to that part
[00:32] <MrChrisDruif> admin1: ^
[00:32] <ddecator> my guess is it will put in the %20, but if it needs to do something else then it should do it automatically
[00:33] <ddecator> also helps prevent typos :)
[00:33] <MrChrisDruif> ddecator: You are probably right, but what should work is "family share"
[00:33] <MrChrisDruif> Making it an string
[00:33] <aveilleux> ddecator: Er, you can just escape it
[00:34] <ddecator> aveilleux: escape what?
[00:34] <aveilleux> admin1: You can type spaces like this: this\ sentence\ has\ spaces\ in\ it
[00:34] <aveilleux> ddecator: Sentences. %20 doesn't work on cp.
[00:34] <aveilleux> ddecator: I mean spaces
[00:34] <ddecator> oh, does that work in a command?
[00:34] <aveilleux> ddecator: It's... how UNIX sees spaces in filenames
[00:34] <ddecator> that's why i suggested the tab complete :p
[00:34] <MrChrisDruif> aveilleux: I'm not sure it spaces work :P
[00:34] <admin1> okay so no %20 just use spaces
[00:35] <ddecator> preceded by \
[00:35] <MrChrisDruif> it=if
[00:35] <aveilleux> admin1: No. Escape the spaces with a \
[00:35] <aveilleux> MrChrisDruif: You escape them, as I've been saying
[00:36] <admin1> so, like this:  cp -r /coyoteden/FAMILY_SHARE/TUNE\ ZONE/* /media/COYOTE_DRIVE/TUNE_ZONE && cp -r /coyoteden/FAMILY_SHARE/TUNE\ ZONE/.* /media/COYOTE_DRIVE/TUNE_ZONE
[00:37] <aveilleux> admin1: That looks correct to me
[00:37] <ddecator> yup, assuming the case is correct
[00:37] <MrChrisDruif> aveilleux: I think putting it in between "" works as well :)
[00:38] <admin1> thanks ya'll  - sure hope so...i guess we will see in a few minutes here  TUNE""ZONE
[00:38] <aveilleux> MrChrisDruif: Wildcard characters are interpreted literally inside quotation marks
[00:38] <MrChrisDruif> aveilleux: How do you mean?
[00:39] <aveilleux> MrChrisDruif: typing cp "*" will only copy files named *
[00:42] <admin1> doesnt work.  do you suppose I have to include the workgroup name also
[01:19] <r4y> Well it lloks a lot better but I need to mess around with it some more. Thank you for your help and thank you for telling me about Inkscape
[01:19] <r4y> Ya it locks a lot better, LOL
[01:21] <r4y> Wow, thank you MrChrisDruif, aveilleux, and ddecator
[01:22] <MrChrisDruif> Your welcome r4y :)
[01:22] <r4y> Take care dudes.
[01:22] <r4y> :)
[01:27] <MrChrisDruif> I'm also off...TTYL :D

[16:32] <JackyAlcine> AbhijiT: ##programming's the last channel some people want to go do.
[16:32] <JackyAlcine> They aren't as friendly as #ubuntu-* channels.
[16:32] <nitin> could anyone help me to understand dat kind of pseudocode
[16:33] <JackyAlcine> nitin: Pseudo code?
[16:33] <JackyAlcine> Like if condition X is true, then do WHY?
[16:33] <nitin> hmm
[16:34] <JackyAlcine> Well, I use it a lot when I'm trying to solve a programming issue, like how to download information from a Wiki.
[16:34] <JackyAlcine> Do DownloadWiki(); if DownloadWiki() returns a nonzero value, raise an error.
[17:08] <jrasmussen_u> hi
[17:08] <jrasmussen_u> I am new to ubuntu -- can't seem to get xchat-gnome to connect to freenode; but, as you can see -- I am on via chatzilla
[17:09] <jrasmussen_u> do I need to disabel something like IPv6 globally somewhere?
[17:09] <jrasmussen_u> *disable
[17:10] <jrasmussen_u> I did disable it in Firefox so I could download add-ons
[17:10] <nhandler> jrasmussen_u: What happens when you try to connect?
[17:10] <jrasmussen_u> it keeps cycling and trying to connect
[17:10] <jrasmussen_u> no channels
[17:10] <jrasmussen_u> let me open it again
[17:10] <nhandler> jrasmussen_u: What server and port is it trying to connect to?
[17:12] <jrasmussen_u> On-screen display xchat_print called without a valid context.  Looking up irc.freenode.net..
[17:12] <jrasmussen_u>  Connecting to chat.freenode.net (32.1.20.24) port 8001..
[17:12] <JackyAlcine> Shouldn't that be port 6667?
[17:12] <nhandler> jrasmussen_u: 8001 works too
[17:13] <JackyAlcine> Hm.
[17:13] <jrasmussen_u> I have tried both ports
[17:13] <jrasmussen_u> this is a new install of ubuntu 10.10, so I am wondering if I need to configure something differently
[17:13] <nhandler> jrasmussen_u: Does anything show up after that? That really doesn't show an error with connecting. Out of curiosity, do you have a plugin for OSD or on-screen display enabled?
[17:14] <jrasmussen_u> what is OSD?
[17:14] <nhandler> jrasmussen_u: On Sceen Display
[17:14] <jrasmussen_u> I did the alternate install amd64
[17:14] <jrasmussen_u> I have a sort of desktop
[17:14] <jrasmussen_u> how do I check this?
[17:14]  * nhandler was talking about within xchat
[17:15] <jrasmussen_u> oh
[17:15] <jrasmussen_u> yes, OSD was on
[17:16] <jrasmussen_u> I just unchecked it
[17:17] <jrasmussen_u> very new to ubuntu!
[17:18] <nhandler> jrasmussen_u: You mentioned that xchat tries to connect, fails, and then keeps trying. Can you pastebin the full output?
[17:19] <jrasmussen_u> where do I paste?  I know it will be too long for the chat window ...
[17:20] <nhandler> jrasmussen_u: paste.ubuntu.com works
[17:20] <jrasmussen_u> ok
[17:21] <jrasmussen_u> http://paste.ubuntu.com/570145/
[17:23] <jrasmussen_u> log files in debug give me this message -- eth0: no IPv6 routers present
[17:23] <jrasmussen_u> and I did turn off IPv6 in Firefox
[17:23] <jrasmussen_u> I wonder if this affects it?
[17:27] <jrasmussen_u> I will try changing the settings ...
[17:30] <nitin> which one is best distro of linux
[17:31] <nitin> ubuntu kubuntu opensuse fedora or redhat blackhat
[17:32] <JackyAlcine> nitin: If we give you an opinion, it'd be bias. :)
[17:33] <nitin> give one
[17:33] <jrasmussen_u> still no go for the xchat-gnome
[17:33] <JackyAlcine> I personally like Ubuntu because GNOME is a bit more flexible than KDE in my opinion.
[17:33] <nhandler> jrasmussen_u: If you are using ipv6, try connecting to ipv6.chat.freenode.net
[17:33] <JackyAlcine> But I haven't tried XFCE yet.
[17:34] <JackyAlcine> No idea with openSUSE.
[17:34] <jrasmussen_u> I think I did turn off the IPv6, but I will give that a try
[17:34] <nitin> xfce ?
[17:34] <nhandler> nitin: That is what xubuntu uses
[17:34] <bioterror> nitin, for desktop I've found Arch Linux most suitable for my use, with laptop I'm using Lubuntu
[17:34] <JackyAlcine> Should have made that clear.
[17:35] <bioterror> and I'm about to build a htpc running on Arch too
[17:35] <bioterror> there's no ultimate answer which is best, every distro has it's own benefits
[17:36] <JackyAlcine> bioterror: +1
[17:36] <JackyAlcine> That's the beauty of it; it's pure personal preference.
[17:36] <bioterror> you can take what ever you want and make it look something
[17:36] <nitin> for cs engineering programming and networking stuff??
[17:38] <bioterror> counter-strike engineering?!
[17:38] <jrasmussen_u> nhandler: still not working in xchat -- glad I got chatzilla to work
[17:41] <JackyAlcine> nitin: That's more of an development environment you're looking for.
[17:42] <nitin> for programming networking and hacking stuff which linux distro is best
[17:44] <nitin> for programming networking and hacking stuff which linux distro is best
[17:44] <wedwo-> jrasmussen_u, I had the same probs with xchat-gnome on lucid. Installed straight xchat and no more probs
[17:47] <jrasmussen_u> wedwo-: thanks, I may try that next
[17:47] <jrasmussen_u> although I am not adverse to using chatzilla I guess -- except that I have the entire seamonkey suite installed!
[17:49] <jrasmussen_u> can I uninstall seamonkey and just have chatzilla?  maybe as a firefox add-on only?
[17:52] <wedwo-> yes: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chatzilla/
[17:52] <jrasmussen_u> wedwo-: great!
[17:52] <johnny77> jrasmussen_u: You can also install just chatzilla itself, not as an extension.
[17:53] <jrasmussen_u> I will get rid of all the seamonkey extras ...
[17:53] <jrasmussen_u> johnny77: I think that would be better than having things I won't use
[17:54] <johnny77> jrasmussen_u: I agree. You can install seamonkey as a suite, but you can also install the individual apps. ie only chatzilla.
[17:55] <johnny77> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SeaMonkey#Install%20Individual%20Applications
[17:56] <M0hi> Hello all o/
[17:59] <jrasmussen_u> johnny77: I will uninstall the suite and then see about only having chatzilla
[17:59] <jrasmussen_u> thx for the link
[18:00] <johnny77> jrasmussen_u: No problem. Do what's best for you. If you'd rather have the Firefox extension fine, but I wanted you to have all the information.
[18:10] <jrasmussen_u> johnny77: will try it both ways
[18:50] <MichaelDeaton_> How do I get my Intel Pocket PC Cam (CS630) to work with ubuntu 10.10? I've looked at the webcam documentation on the ubuntu site, and it offers no support for my webcam.
[18:53] <ddecator> you said you checked this page?: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
[18:55] <MichaelDeaton_> Yes the UVC driver doesn't support my webcam. I've found one that does, but you have to compile it, and I have no idea how to.
[18:55] <ddecator> which one?
[18:55] <MichaelDeaton_> http://spca50x.sourceforge.net/devices.html
[18:57] <ddecator> huh, it doesn't have a debian package...
[18:58] <MichaelDeaton_> http://sourceforge.net/projects/spca50x/files/
[18:58] <MichaelDeaton_> Looking for the latest version? Download spca50x-gcc-3.2-linux-2.4.21-0.13mdk-module-0.30.tar.gz (42.6 KB)
[18:58] <MichaelDeaton_> Is that what you need?
[18:59] <MichaelDeaton_> I mean, "mean?"
[18:59] <ddecator> hm, there are old versions on the debian site
[19:00] <MichaelDeaton_> debian site?
[19:00] <MichaelDeaton_> Sorry I'm totally new to the Ubuntu world. =/ So website about ubuntu and stuff are new to me. I've just been trying to get my webcam to work for the past 12 hours almost.
[19:01] <ddecator> right, the easiest way to install the driver will be to use a .deb, so there won't be any real work needed on your part. people packaged it as a .deb, but it's an older version. we can try it though and see if it works
[19:02] <MichaelDeaton_> Link me to it?
[19:03] <ddecator> one sec
[19:04] <ddecator> http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=spca&searchon=all&suite=oldstable&section=all
[19:04] <ddecator> like i said, old version, but it might work
[19:05] <ddecator> the links on the bottom are the newest. are you using 32- or 64-bit?
[19:05] <MichaelDeaton_> 32 bit
[19:06] <ddecator> this should be the one you need: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/gspca-modules-2.6.26-2-686
[19:07] <ddecator> apparently it depends on your processor though
[19:07] <ddecator> that one *should* install though
[19:09] <ddecator> MichaelDeaton_: when you go to that link, click the "i386" link and pick a server to download from
[19:09] <MichaelDeaton_> Alright I finally got it to download
[19:10] <MichaelDeaton_> Dependency is not satisfiable: linux-modules-2.6.26-2-686
[19:10] <MichaelDeaton_> Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: linux-modules-2.6.26-2-686
[19:10] <MichaelDeaton_> D:
[19:11] <MichaelDeaton_> Noooo not fair.
[19:12] <ddecator> hmmm...
[19:13] <ddecator> looks like this hasn't really been maintained in a while...
[19:14] <ddecator> sorry, i'm not sure how to compile a kernel module from source. i'm not even sure if it's compatible with the latest kernels. someone else might know though
[19:14] <MichaelDeaton_> :(( But it's the only way I know how to get my webcam to work.. :( I've gotten everything else to work. The only thing left is my webcam. =/
[19:18] <ddecator> huh...the latest kernels mentions gpsca
[19:18] <ddecator> ha, yah, looks like that source doesn't compile to the newest kernels
[19:19] <ddecator> and of course there is a source package in ubuntu, but no deb...
[19:20] <ddecator> sounds like support is supposed to be built in now
[19:21] <ddecator> hm, yah, there are gspca driver files in the current kernel, so i'm not sure why it's not working
[19:22] <ddecator> sorry :/
[19:36] <MichaelDeaton_> Okay.. Well thank you for the help.
[19:59] <MichaelDeaton_> Hey guys I have minecraft on ubuntu and I wanted to know how to had a "nice" priority to this command line if possible.
[19:59] <MichaelDeaton_> "java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -XX:+UseFastAccessorMethods -XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+UseAdaptiveGCBoundary -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=500 -XX:SurvivorRatio=16 -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:UseSSE=3 -XX:ParallelGCThreads=1 -jar /home/michael/Downloads/minecraft.jar"
[20:00] <bioterror> man nice
[20:01] <bioterror> nice -20  == highes priority
[20:01] <bioterror> highest
[20:01] <bioterror> 19 is the lowest
[20:01] <MichaelDeaton_> I know that, but where do I put the nice command in my command I already have to change the priority to -15?
[20:02] <bioterror> in the begin
[20:02] <MichaelDeaton_> uh? So I just put nice -20 in front of it?
[20:02] <bioterror> y
[20:03] <MichaelDeaton_> So it'll look like this, "nice -20 java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -XX:+UseFastAccessorMethods -XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+UseAdaptiveGCBoundary -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=500 -XX:SurvivorRatio=16 -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:UseSSE=3 -XX:ParallelGCThreads=1 -jar /home/michael/Downloads/minecraft.jar"?
[20:03] <bioterror> something like that
[20:03] <MichaelDeaton_> Uhhh?
[20:03] <bioterror> with renice you can change pid's priority
[20:04] <MichaelDeaton_> D: Well I'm new to ubuntu, still learning comands, so I duno what you're talking about. =/
[20:04] <MichaelDeaton_> dumb it down?
[20:04] <bioterror> if you have a process running, you can change it's priority with renice
[20:04] <bioterror> renice <value> pid
[20:06] <MichaelDeaton_> I know how to do that, but I wanted to just make a launcher to automatically start the game with nice on -20 for highest priority
[20:08] <pleia2> MichaelDeaton_: the command you said above is correct
[20:08] <pleia2> nice -20 java....
[20:08] <MichaelDeaton_> Well when I started the game, it says the Priority is "19"
[20:11] <pleia2> you can try nice -n -19
[20:12] <pleia2> (I think without -n it doesn't give error messages)
[20:20] <MichaelDeaton_> It still didn't work.
[20:21] <MichaelDeaton_> Do I have to be a "root" usr?
[20:33] <Kentrel> How do I set both firefox and chrome to automatically use Vuze for torrents. For some reasons Vuze is default in nautilius but both of those browsers use Transmission
[20:50] <omoleye> hey is there a way to input a path in a script?
[20:51] <omoleye> im trying to get a path/filename and want to know if there is a way that a user can input it like the terminal does naturally with the tab key and such
[21:29] <seiuno> ideas on how to check the size of a package that is already installed?
[21:32] <JackyAlcine> Where you could find the development channel for UBT?
[21:33] <seiuno> JackyAlcine: ubuntu-beginners-dev i believe
[21:33] <JackyAlcine> seiuno: Including configuration, I don't know; but in Synaptic, it should show the size of the files installed for a related package.
[21:33] <seiuno> JackyAlcine: yeah, trying with synaptic
[21:34] <JackyAlcine> hm.
[21:34] <seiuno> 81.9KB isn't the total filesize used
[21:35] <seiuno> i think when i installed the package it said something like 60MB
[21:36] <JackyAlcine> o.O
[21:37] <seiuno> it's the meta package, it doesn't tabulate a total for all packages that will be installed
[21:37] <seiuno> under properties, anyway
[21:43] <admin1> help please - installed and configured clamav  Tk reports AV engine 0.96.5 and GUI are out of date.  How do I manualy update to 4.31  I see the download file, but don't know what to do with it once I unzip
[21:43] <admin1> how do I unpack/install the taz.gz file?
[21:47] <JackyAlcine> CLF1: Usually with packages, you can just uninstall the package,
[21:48] <JackyAlcine> Go into the directory in a terminal where the tar.gz (tarball) is located,
[21:48] <JackyAlcine> run 'tar xvf <TARNAME>'.
[21:48] <CLF1> sudo tar xvf name
[21:48] <JackyAlcine> CLF1: No, you don't need root privileges for that.
[21:48] <CLF1> ok
[21:48] <CLF1> thx
[21:49] <CLF1> does it matter where i put the tar when I download
[21:49] <seiuno> root privileges probably wouldn't hurt, would it?
[21:49] <JackyAlcine> Within the tarball, actually, there should be instructions on how to install such a package.
[21:49] <JackyAlcine> seiuno: It might make it impossible for 'make' to read the files.
[21:49] <seiuno> JackyAlcine: and this hurts?
[21:50] <JackyAlcine> seiuno: If 'make' can't read, how can it compile?
[21:50] <JackyAlcine> I understand for 'sudo make install'.
[21:50] <seiuno> JackyAlcine: i was talking about using sudo tar
[21:50] <seiuno> not sudo make
[21:50] <CLF1> that does it,  I will look thx for read file
[21:50] <JackyAlcine> seiuno: Unless he has the binaries to drop right in /usr/bin/
[21:50] <JackyAlcine> CLF1: Alright.
[21:51] <CLF1> okay thanks
[21:52] <seiuno> JackyAlcine: it's a security concern.  i get it.
[21:52]  * seiuno uses sudo for everything
[21:52] <seiuno> CIA infiltrates his system, gives it to a "contractor"
[21:53] <seiuno> i know...that isn't funny.
[21:53]  * seiuno runs to a hermit's cave
[21:55] <JackyAlcine> Lol
[22:07] <tronyx> anyone know the best way to do a remote graphical login on 10.04 without already having an established session?
[22:07] <tronyx> i.e. a graphical GDM login? i can't seem to find anything current or applicable to 10.04
[22:26] <CLF1> I got the tarball downloaded and extracted  now what do I do
[23:39] <dantastic> hello, I was wondering if I could get help with a 10.10 gui issue...?
[23:39] <lostinit> maybe
[23:39] <JackyAlcine> We're all ears.
[23:40] <dantastic> right, I can't seem to add icons to the launch bar here on my netbook remix version. sorry for being so utterly ignorant, by the way
[23:41] <dantastic> that is, right clicking on active applications in the launch bar doesn't present the option to keep it on the launch bar, as certain other apps do
[23:42] <dantastic> certain active*
[23:43] <dantastic> I've searched on the issue, and all I found was something about xubuntu.
[23:47] <dantastic> I'm not really familiar with IRC chats or asking for help through them, so sorry if I'm doing it wrong. just trying to explore new things and such...
[23:51] <dantastic> ok then, just gonna take my stupid question and sod off now then...
[23:52] <MrChrisDruif> Hmmm....
[23:52] <MrChrisDruif> You can't have them all <_<"
[23:52] <MrChrisDruif> Wanted to talk to the dude
[23:57] <alisalaah> :(
[23:57] <alisalaah> i was in another window didnt even see that
[23:59] <MrChrisDruif> alisalaah: Like I said, you/we can't have them all...
