[02:09] i thought my issue was related to multiple network logins from the same user and nfs locking [02:09] im glad that is not the case [02:10] im also looking for a bios update [02:10] yep i tryed.. but for amiloL7320 that's an old machine working with hamster [02:10] its' impossible to upgrade bios without a floppy and a window os :D [02:11] yikes [02:14] yep :D [02:14] that's hard situation :D [02:14] really [02:15] dude im in the same boat now [02:15] need windows to install the new bios ver [02:15] this sucks [02:15] i'm goin to buy an axe :D [02:16] check for an update using DOS, you could do that with FreeDOS, instead of windows [02:16] not supported from fujutsu support site :d [02:17] it says i need either winxp or win7 [02:17] look for now i'm solving in that way [02:17] i open a freewebradio and leave it down [02:17] so the system doesnt idle [02:17] and dont blow up [02:18] we are running a web radio too [02:18] new radio [02:25] ffgfgfg [02:25] only solution :D [02:26] tryin to figure anyway [02:26] i'll let u know [02:26] bye [02:26] :D [04:58] how do i config a closing screen and what happens when i open the screen [04:59] everytime my screen close buy per-pis or accident it dont come back i have to shut it down [04:59] everytime my screen close by per-pis or accident it dont come back i have to shut it down [05:01] uofm49426: Check the xfce4 power manager [05:01] with my old acer 5515 with intrepid i would just go alt ctrl f6 or f4 the push ctrl alt f7 and i would come back [05:04] does sleep work well on xubuntu or i shouldnt use [05:04] is there problems with wakeup [05:06] I don't know. I don't use Xubuntu on a laptop [05:10] still happen [05:10] screen lights up but on desktop [05:12] is there a package for thinkpads to stop this [05:15] There is this tpb and hdapsd [05:16] i see that but is there something for screens [05:17] apt-cache search thinkpad didn't come up with much [05:18] the laptop had a little button that turns screen off the old setting had it on lock i put it on nothing and still does it [05:21] lighted screen no desktop the why i use to deal with this was ctrl alt and f4 or 5 or 6 to go to termal mode the ctrl alt f7 and the desktop would come back [05:21] that was on intrepid [05:22] using 10.10 and that dont even work [05:22] Try the LiveCD or USB of 11.04? (Really, I can't help...) [05:30] Maybe you guys can help: After burning a number of CDs, Ubuntu no longer seems to recognize CDs correctly for me. When I enter a blank disk, it says it only has 2 kb free [05:31] I have confirmed with another computer that the disk is not defective [06:22] ho wdo i restore the archive manager for xubuntu 10.04? [06:23] What happened to it jrmy? [06:23] i thought i reinstalled it from the software center and even tried sudo -apt-get install file-roller but it doesnt show in the applications list [06:24] well i uninstalled it because i wanted to use 7zip but that one didnt work right either [06:24] so now i dont know what to do [06:24] It's not installed anymore? [06:25] Or is it just missing from the menu? [06:25] its installed [06:25] missing from the menu [06:25] nor can i select it in firefox when opening a zip file from download [06:26] hm, give me a moment [06:26] i only can/only know how to open it from terminal [06:27] i am on Gnome right now so I don't know how to add files to the menu, but i'd open the folder /usr/share/applications [06:27] it should be listed in there to copy a shortcut to it to the menu somehow [06:28] well i know you can do that ith a gnome desktop [06:29] but I don't know why it wouldn't be listed in firefox. [06:30] You may want to go to Edit > Preferences > Applications and see if it is there at all, if not then maybe manually add it :( [06:31] k i'll try that [06:35] well i dont see a a selection for a .zip or archive or compressed file [06:35] in the list of all the types of content [06:35] ...this is so stupid [06:35] i dont understand why it isnt working [06:35] o_O [06:35] That is strange [06:36] never should of uninstalled it [06:37] does the xfce desktop have no menu editor? [06:37] it does but idk how it works [06:39] ok i have it showing in the menu [06:40] ok.. now its working [06:40] :D [06:40] i dont understand [06:40] whatever.. [06:40] Maybe the computer needed to just recognize the changes [06:41] well i last installed p7zip-rar in the shell [06:41] and i believe archive manager is a part of it [06:41] well guess it works now.. i prefer 7zip but whatever [06:42] but there doesnt seem to be a linux version [06:42] I think both programs can use that library heh [06:42] i use windows.. btw [06:42] p7zip-full maybe? [06:42] both are installed [06:43] sudo apt-get install p7zip-rar installs both in otherwords [06:43] ah i remember now [06:43] or maybe not.. im kinda tired.. [06:49] well thanks anyways [06:54] yup === thermi is now known as Thermi [16:41] hey guys, planning on installing 10.10 on my father-in-law's piece of crap of a computer. will flash work out of the box? [16:44] very supportive guys.. [16:49] ooops, missed the three minute mark again [16:51] make sure to prepare that venus flytrapper next time ;) [16:54] Hey, I got an old HP ThinClient with a ~700 mhz processor and 256 mb ram, I have been running windows 2003 server and windows xp with great success on it, but how would those specs be for xubuntu? [16:57] slow [16:57] It would work, with one app at a time. [16:59] It is not going to be a racer either, my plan is only to use it to control my reprap printer [16:59] any idea which channel i can ask in to get it so my ps3 can see my files? [16:59] it is pertinant at least to this channel seeing im running xubuntu [17:00] jrmy: #sony-customer-support? ;) [17:00] TheSheep: you being serious? [17:00] Best I got is #ubuntu-powerpc [17:00] no, not really, sorry [17:01] Not sure any ubuntu channel will support it, though [17:01] it's kinda in a gray area [17:01] TheSheep: because last i knew sony didnt plan on its ps3 veiwing linux xomputers over a network [17:01] computers* [17:02] well its not illegal [17:02] well as far as i know its not in there eula for the ps3.. would be strange i think to band users from connecting to linux [17:03] ban* [17:03] their* [17:04] works fine for viewing files on windows pcs but yeah [17:04] i'll also assume that none of you own a ps3 [17:04] lol [17:05] even better, find someone with one that Sony did not patch, taking away the ability to install anything on it [17:05] huh? i didnt mention a mod [17:06] strange you'd think i was talking about a mod [17:06] no i simply meant for the ps3 to see its shared folders like-wise of the ability to view windows shared folders [17:07] all i want is to listen to music and watch video on it [17:08] something like ushare I suppose, you'll need to enable dlna [17:08] i'd assume you'd need to install something on the pc [17:08] ushare eh? [17:08] ushare only allows you to share music, and movies iirc [17:08] and its only ro, from ps3 iirc [17:09] never heard of it [17:09] guess im still kinda a networking noob lol [17:09] ro = read only, you can't delete, rename, modify in any way or form.. That's PS3's restriction with its native OS [17:10] iirc? [17:10] there's a few other alternative that may work with movie/music streaming to PS3 under linux, ushare is one of them that I know of [17:10] iirc = if I remember correctly [17:10] ah.. lol [17:11] well i'll have to check ushare out then later [17:11] is it useful in other ways? [17:12] yes if you have other capable devices which can take upnp media streaming [17:14] you could probably also stream images but I have not tried that out yet. I don't know what other stuff you can share over network that PS3 can see and then use. As far as streaming movies is concerned, PS3 can supports less than a handful of formats in its native configuration (that is without wma support, without divx support) [17:15] yeah.. little disappointed there too [17:16] that's sony for you [17:16] right.. [17:18] jrmy: you don't even OWN the thing... [17:18] what? [17:18] according to Sony, they are only letting you use it [17:18] ah.. [17:18] there is a way to make PS3 do more functionality, but such topic leads to grey/black zone which I'm sure is prohibited for discussion in this channel [17:19] yeah eula's [17:19] yeah probably [17:19] idk if i'd ever want to go down the path of modding and such anyways.. [17:20] i think i'd rather sell it and buy something else [17:21] which im probvably gonna do when nintendos knew console comes out [17:21] new* [17:22] but this is a linux channel so enough on that topic === m00se is now known as beer === beer is now known as m00se [19:27] Hey all. I'm having some trouble updating my 11.04 [19:27] I'm getting Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/koshi/xfce-4.8/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [19:27] I know that doesn't exist, so its correct [19:28] but is there anywhere I should be able to get updates from [19:28] if you have installed updates you will not get them, but you should remove that ppa [19:28] *all updates [19:29] that I need to point the update manager to. (Bear in mind I'm running Ubuntu 11.04b2, but I've installed the xubuntu desktop environment using terminal) [19:30] hmm, but won't removing that PPA cause issues if that directory is subsequently built? [19:30] I'm totally new to this, but I'd imagine its probably pointing towards the directory that should exist for updates, not one that will never exist, right? [19:31] you updated 10.10 with that ppa to natty? [19:32] that ppa isn't needed/available for natty, just remove it and possibly google for ppa-purge [19:33] No, I installed 11.04b2 from scratch, but the ubuntu variant [19:33] then I ran apt-get to download the xubuntu desktop [19:33] I couldn't install xubuntu from scratch because for some reason it had no sound. [19:33] you have gotten that ppa somewhere.. [19:34] Well the command I used to install the xubuntu desktop was from an article that related to 10.10 [19:34] Perhaps I've installed the 10.10 environment on an 11.04 base? [19:35] so you haven't installed anything from that repo since it doesn't work, just remove it [19:35] ok. [19:35] will I still recieve the proper updates if I do? [19:36] as in, later, when an 11.04 build of that repo exists [19:36] it will not [19:37] it isn't needed, newest xfce is in the default repositories [19:37] ok then. [19:37] Where do I go to remove this repo then [19:39] gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list propably two lines at the bottom, other option is something in /etc/apt/sources-list.d/ [19:40] Nevermind, I think I found it. Its update manager > settings > other software tab > remove the two ppa.launchpad entries at the bottom that match the link above [19:40] I think? [19:44] does the same thing [19:45] Wicked. Thanks a lot. [19:46] And it should still find new xfce updates if they occur, despite only referencing ubuntu repos [19:46] ? [19:48] yes [19:50] Awesome. [19:50] Thanks again, you've really helped me out. [19:50] np [19:51] Seeya later, I'm sure I'll be back with some silly question eventually :) === Thermi is now known as thermi [23:00] Hey all! === redwyrm is now known as Gnosis- === Gnosis- is now known as redwyrm
