CantideDoes anyone know why my Android phone won't detect? :(06:48
Cantiderunning Ubuntu 10.10 now06:49
Cantidefrom what i've read online, it should just detect .-.06:49
superflyCantide: what do you mean "won't detect"?07:08
Cantidehmm07:10
Cantidei plug it in via usb, and nothing happens07:10
Cantidei can't find it to mount it as a drive or anything07:10
superflyCantide: what do you think is supposed to happen?07:10
Cantidebut the phone says it's connected via usb07:11
Cantideokay, maybe i should rephrase my question - how can I access the phone via Ubuntu /07:11
Cantide?07:11
superflyCantide: my phone has 2 modes, "PC Suite" and "Storage Device", which I have to select when I plug it in07:11
Cantidewaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah07:13
Cantideyou just solved my problem :D07:13
Cantidehahaha07:13
Cantidei plugged it in, selected the notification area on the phone07:13
Cantidethen click on that07:13
Cantideand it asked if i wanted to mount it07:13
Cantideweird, i expected that to happen on my PC...07:13
Cantidethanks :p07:13
Cantidejust another quick question - what directory structure should it have?07:14
Cantideif i want to put music on there, and there isn't a music folder, can i just create one, or does it need a specific structure?07:15
Cantidetrial an error will help me .-.07:19
superflyCantide: I don't have an android phone, so I'm afraid I can't help you there... I have a linux phone ;-)07:20
Cantide:)07:20
Cantidei'm even throwing some .mod / .xm files on07:21
Cantidesee what happens :D07:21
superflymy word... that's old school07:21
linuxboysuperfly: I thought nokia started using windows now07:21
superflylinuxboy: I got my phone my phone before they sold their soul07:22
superflyer, I'm double-typing now07:22
Cantide:D07:24
OwkkuriCantide: I've got a Music dir on my sd card :P07:30
Owkkuridon't think it really matters, the music app / winamp scans the card for supported media07:31
Owkkuriyes you get winamp for android :P07:31
CantideOwkkuri, thanks :) I just tested out the folder I created ( It just happened to be 'Music', too! ) and it works fine :)07:31
Cantideyeah07:31
OwkkuriI have Music and another caleld media07:31
Cantidei figured it would just scan - i'm used to using an ooooooooooooooold phone :<07:31
Cantideaha07:31
Cantidewell, vanilla Android doesn't play .mod files... pity :p07:32

kodezguys, earlier today i requested assistance in regard to pidgin's facebook plug-ins. i managed to some plug-ins but my system couldn't work and i had to reformat my system. i had tried to install it again after that but it keeps on giving me an error message that either my username or password is incorrect, please help,how will i ever solve this problem17:46
nlsthznkodez: which plugin, facebook?>17:48
Kiloskodez how far does it get with installing before you get the error message or is it installed already and it just doesnt recognise your password17:48
drubinkodez: You don't need any plugins to get facebook chat working with pidgin17:49
nlsthzndrubin: not sure which plug-in yet...17:49
kodezi am using ubuntu 10.1017:49
Kilosoh the prob with pidgin?17:49
drubinhttp://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php17:49
drubinkodez: Doesn't matter it will work for all version :)17:49
kodezi do install 100% but i can't configure my facebook account17:50
kodezthanks @drubin, i will try it17:50
drubinkodez: did you follow the instructions on that site?17:50
drubinbecause you don't need any additional plugins anny more17:50
Kilostry going direcly to facebook with your browser17:50
Kilosi had them block me once to for some funny reason17:50
nlsthznif it is the facebook plugin... just use your user name and password to log into the browser version first... if you use email and password in the browser than the plug in doesn't take your username and password... but better to configure without the plugin17:51
nlsthznjabber: username@chat.facebook.com password, enable ssl security ... profit17:52
Kiloshi drubin . you well?17:53
nlsthznguys, time to get some sleep... we are doing an Installfest tomorrow in the big city... I will get lost so I have to start early... good night17:57
