[03:53] <thewrath> hey all!
[04:02] <UndiFineD> o/
[04:04] <eiriksvin> im recording a video for friends to show them how cool Ubuntu is:)
[04:42] <GarryFre> I am spending a LOT of time trying to find out in google where autostart.sh file is. I need to edit it, but google is being my frenemy and all I get is about editing  it, not where to find it TO edit it!
[04:46] <GarryFre> find -name autostart.sh just drops to the command line. I KNOW it'sthere, because I had to edit it to fix conky covering over all the windows.
[04:47] <bioterror> sudo find / |grep autostart.sh
[05:10] <eiriksvin> how do i convert .ogv to something that i could put on facebook?
[05:11] <holstein> you *could* put those on facebook
[05:11] <holstein> a better question would be posed to facebook
[05:11] <holstein> 'why cant i upload my .ogv'
[05:11] <holstein> BUT
[05:11] <holstein> eiriksvin: what formats do they accept?
[05:11] <holstein> .avi ?
[05:12] <eiriksvin> idunno
[05:12] <eiriksvin> :)
[05:12] <holstein> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=168634&highlight=avi+files
[05:13] <holstein> you'll need to have a target in mind
[05:13] <holstein> if you search 'ubuntu convert .ogv to .whatever'
[05:13] <holstein> you'll find something :)
[05:13] <eiriksvin> yeah, im looking at video conversion lists right now... wow
 well OpenShot Video Editor seems to be ok, but does im looking for a nice converter
[05:18] <holstein> yeah, thats overkill
[05:18] <eiriksvin> i guess i could put it onto YouTube, and link it there
[05:18] <holstein> i know all about converting audio formats
[05:18] <holstein> but, i dont do video much
[05:18] <holstein> and yeah, when i do
[05:18] <holstein> i just do youtube
[05:18] <holstein> or i just put the ogv on my server
[05:20] <eiriksvin> i really want to get some mp3s and movies, but im worried my ISP will get mad if they see the file names. got any ideas on how to get them masked as i download?
[05:21] <holstein> ?
[05:21] <holstein> if its legal
[05:21] <holstein> do it
[05:21] <holstein> and tell them where to go
[05:21] <holstein> if its not legal
[05:21] <holstein> im not helping you with it
[05:22] <eiriksvin> heh, yeah i know, gotta pay to play:(
[05:23] <holstein> well, im a musician
[05:23] <holstein> so, i am closely connected to the issue

[15:01] <newubuntu> question: how to make flash videos run smoothly on ubuntu, youtube videos get stuck when changed to full screen mode sometimes...
[15:03] <holstein> newubuntu: that can be a tricky question
[15:03] <newubuntu> hmm
[15:03] <holstein> i would like to suggest that you pose that question to the maintainer of flash
[15:03] <holstein> BUT, let me talk about some ideas you can use
[15:04] <holstein> to troubleshoot
[15:04] <newubuntu> go on...
[15:04] <holstein> sometimes, using a proprietary graphics driver can help
[15:05] <newubuntu> pl dont talk about graphics card
[15:05] <holstein> newubuntu: pl?
[15:05] <newubuntu> coz the same problem is NOT there in windows XP
[15:05] <holstein> newubuntu: right
[15:05] <newubuntu> holstein: didnt get u?
[15:05] <holstein> pl = please?
[15:05] <MrChrisDruif> holstein: indeed
[15:06] <newubuntu> holstein: yeah so?
[15:06] <holstein> you are asking that i please *not* talk about graphics cards?
[15:06] <holstein> OK
[15:06] <holstein> im talking about the graphics card *driver*
[15:06] <holstein> which i assure you *is* different from the one you use in XP
[15:06] <newubuntu> holstein: urghhh! i meant to say that only!
[15:07] <holstein> newubuntu: i have had that issue
[15:07] <holstein> on several devices
[15:07] <newubuntu> hmm
[15:07] <holstein> and i think i can help shed some light on this issue
[15:07] <holstein> but, i will need to talk about your graphics card
[15:08] <UndiFineD> patience of a saint holstein, bravo
[15:08] <holstein> UndiFineD: :)
[15:09] <UndiFineD> newubuntu, we need to know your graphics card manufacturer, so know if a binary driver would help here
[15:09] <newubuntu> lemme clarify 1 thing: the driver for my graphics card aint avaliable for ubuntu, ive checkd already
[15:10] <holstein> allow me to further clarify
[15:10] <newubuntu> go on
[15:10] <holstein> the manufacturer of your graphics hardware doesnt supply a driver for linux*
[15:11] <holstein> but, if you would like to link the manufacturer, and type
[15:11] <holstein> we could look around a bit
[15:11] <newubuntu> people...ill be right back

[15:51] <stevd> Hello
[15:52] <stevd> I have been having a problem with setting up my wireless router
[15:53] <stevd> not router wireless card
[15:54] <Sidewinder1> stevd: Please elaborate.
[15:55] <stevd> ok I am using ASUS USB N13 N
[15:56] <Sidewinder1> Is that a router? If so, I'm unfamiliar with it.
[15:56] <stevd> I have tried trouble shooting with documentation, my computer says thats its not enabled
[15:56] <stevd> um wirless card not router my mistake
[15:58] <Sidewinder1> Oh, OK, sorry I can't really help too much (beyond basics) with wireless cards...
[15:58] <stevd> the terminal says it sees the card and drivers but it says its enabled
[15:59] <Sidewinder1> Enabled? Are you sure it doesn't say "disabled"?
[16:01] <stevd> Im mean disabled... early morning
[16:01] <stevd> I cant find a turm to try to just make it enabled
[16:02] <Sidewinder1> Get a cup of coffee... :-)
[16:03] <stevd> yeah
[16:03] <stevd> need one
[16:04] <Sidewinder1> If it's not "enabled", it may be a driver issue. Are you certain you're using the most current one for the distro (10.04, 10.10, or 11.04)?
[16:04] <Sidewinder1> And for that card?
[16:04] <stevd> i dont know if I am
[16:05] <Sidewinder1> That may be a place to start.
[16:05] <stevd> the computer told me someware else that it was a firmware issue
[16:06] <Sidewinder1> I only update firmware as a last resort, but, that's just me.
[16:06] <Sidewinder1> But after all else fails you may need to do that if it's an old card.
[16:08] <stevd> its only 3 month old card
[16:10] <Sidewinder1> Then it probably isn't a firmware issue. What is the output of, in a terminal, lsusb? Re: the ASUS?
[16:11] <stevd> let be check
[16:12] <stevd> I got it up were do you want to know the output
[16:12] <stevd> Bus 009 Device 003: ID 0b05:1784 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. 802.11n Network Adapter
[16:16] <stevd> what do you think
[16:16] <Sidewinder1> Well this is getting a little beyond my abilities...;-( The next thing I would try is typing in terminal dmesg and see if anything jumps out regarding that card / port, etc...
[16:18] <stevd> not really
[16:19] <Sidewinder1> AT this point you have two choices: Ask your question in #ubuntu (mentioning your card, ubuntu version, etc) or better yet going to ubuntuforums.org and asking there; although it'll take longer for someone to answer.
[16:19] <stevd> oh ok
[16:20] <Sidewinder1> Sorry I wasn't a better helper. :-( Side slinks away with his tail between his legs... :-)
[16:20] <stevd> its ok I have a tough one to figure out
[16:21] <Sidewinder1> Actually it's not that tough for someone that is more familiar with wireless cards.
[16:22] <Sidewinder1> ndiswrapper is anothe LAST-RESORT.
[16:22] <Sidewinder1> another, sorry
[16:22] <stevd> ok I tried that before it sucks and buggy
[16:24] <Sidewinder1> Maybe 'it' screwed something up?
[16:24] <stevd> yeah but I redownloaded linux so its not that
[16:25] <Sidewinder1> Did you "totally remove" ndiswrapper?
[16:25] <Sidewinder1> Oh, OK, you answered while I was typing.
[16:25] <stevd> I typed this sudo lshw -C network and got into the network card info
[16:25] <stevd> the computer was wiped
[16:27] <Sidewinder1> Then I would suggest ubuntuforums.org, they're very knowlegable and more than willing to help; just be very specific with your problem. The more info. the better.
[16:27] <stevd> ok
[16:28] <Sidewinder1> Good luck!
[16:32] <Sidewinder1> Try addressing your question on the main chanel (#ubuntu) Dr_Willis is there now and he's an expert...
[16:34] <Sidewinder1> Phrase your question, all on one line, listing your distro (10.10, 11.04, etc.) your card, any error messaged, etc,...
[18:15] <mang0> Heya!
[18:17] <mang0> I'm just wondering if I can use a virtual cd drive to run the ISO file for the ubuntu install....for instance, daemon tools lite.
[18:17] <mang0> I don't have any re-writable cds, and I already have a liveCD of 10.10
[18:17] <mang0> holstein
[18:17] <mang0> -----------^ and hello :)
[18:40] <holstein> mang0: o/
[18:40] <holstein> i would use unetbootin
[18:40] <mang0> \o/
[18:41] <holstein> with a USB stick
[18:41] <holstein> if you dont have that
[18:41] <holstein> and you're trying to do something from an already running install
[18:41] <holstein> in theory, you should be albe to do that
[18:41] <holstein> but, its over my head
[18:41] <mang0> I have heard (in #ubuntu) that 11.04 has a newer kernal and so maybe it would detect my drives...
[18:42] <mang0> it might be a bios problem though, but I really don't know much about bios, i'm sorta a noob to bios tbh.
[18:42] <holstein> mang0: you can probably try the mainline kernel
[18:42] <holstein> in whatever you are running
[18:43] <holstein> and get the functionality of the newer kernel
[18:43] <holstein> without too much hassle
[18:43] <holstein> when i did it, i just DL'd a .deb for the mainline kernel
[18:43] <holstein> and installed/uninstalled like anything else
[18:43] <holstein> *thats plausible i suppose
[18:43] <mang0> aw god, I cba with all this hassle, just gonna dl 11.04, burn a CD and hope for the best.
[18:44] <holstein> yeah, i would
[18:44] <holstein> you can try it live
[18:44] <mang0> yearp
[18:44]  * mang0 dls
[18:44] <mang0> !download
[18:44] <ubot2> Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Karmic, and help keeping the servers' load low!
[18:44] <holstein> those CD's are handy for diagnostics or whatever
[18:44] <holstein> i usually just carry one around
[18:45] <holstein> and if i end up using it on someones machine
[18:45] <holstein> i give it to them
[18:45] <mang0> heh, yeah
[19:45] <mang0> holstein it might be a bios problem, how do I check if my Bios is set up okay?
[20:05] <holstein> mang0: its really case by case
[20:05] <holstein> you cant get it to boot the CD ?
[20:05] <mang0> As I can well imagine! Yes I can boot from the CD, but I can not install
[20:05] <mang0> I need 2.7GB space, and it is telling me I don't have it...
[20:06] <mang0> Even though I have two 120GB hard drives
[20:07] <mang0> holstein ^
[20:07] <holstein> mang0: whats on the drives?
[20:08] <holstein> you said they were SATA?
[20:08] <mang0> On one of them (C) I have all my stuff - Windows, software etc
[20:08] <mang0> the other one is empty
[20:08] <mang0> they are both NTFS
[20:08] <holstein> i would unplug the one with all your stuff
[20:08] <holstein> then, i would probably go in and blank it
[20:08] <holstein> see if gparted sees it
[20:09] <holstein> and get it nice and blank
[20:09] <holstein> then, try the installer
[20:09] <mang0> how do i blank it?
[20:09] <holstein> and let me know
[20:09] <holstein> mang0: using gparted
[20:09] <holstein> thats an easy GUI way
[20:09] <mang0> *confused*
[20:09] <mang0> Gparted doesn't see it
[20:09] <holstein> OK
[20:09] <holstein> thats not good
[20:09] <holstein> mang0: have you tried a parted magic disc?
[20:10] <holstein> what kind of hard drives are these?
[20:10] <mang0> one sec
[20:10] <mang0> gonna screenshot
[20:11] <mang0> hm
[20:11] <mang0> they are NTFS
[20:11] <mang0> SATA
[20:11] <holstein> what about the sata controller?
[20:12] <mang0> http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/4/11712260312-orig.jpg
[20:12] <mang0> you can see the stuff there
[20:12] <holstein> you got hardware RAID or something else odd?
[20:13] <holstein> its not going to be the hard drives then
[20:13] <holstein> or the format
[20:14] <holstein> its going to be the SATA controller i think
[20:14] <mang0> so what should I do?
[20:15] <holstein> well
[20:15] <holstein> tell me if you have hardware raid set up or not
[20:15] <holstein> and then tell me what the sata controller is ;)
[20:15] <holstein> get that live CD running on there
[20:15] <holstein> and i'll give you a few commands
[20:15] <holstein> it really doesnt matter what XP sees
[20:15] <holstein> we cant use any of its drivers
[20:17] <mang0> problem no. 1: I can't use the internet on the livecd
[20:17] <mang0> my broadcom card doesn't work
[20:17] <mang0> f**k
[20:17] <mang0> Hmm
[20:17] <mang0> I could go downstairs on my mum's comp
[20:18] <mang0> and open up IRC
[20:18] <mang0> then boot up LiveCD here
[20:18] <mang0> :/
[20:18] <holstein> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2557
[20:19] <mang0> :|
[20:19] <mang0> UUUUUU
[20:19] <holstein> mang0: how about this
[20:19] <holstein> you mind DLing another live CD?
[20:19] <holstein> and trying it?
[20:19] <mang0> Right, lets do this one at a time. Lets get my internet working........with the liveCD
[20:19] <mang0> and no i dont
[20:19] <mang0> i have 11.04 on my desktop
[20:19] <mang0> if you like I can burn it
[20:19] <mang0> ...
[20:20] <holstein> http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/
[20:20] <holstein> ^ i would try that
[20:20] <mang0> 8.04?!
[20:20] <holstein> see if gparted can see your drives
[20:20] <holstein> then, note the kernel version
[20:20] <mang0> okay........if it can, should I just install it from that liveCD? and then I can update
[20:20] <holstein> nah
[20:21] <holstein> *well, not yet
[20:21] <holstein> we're just collecting information
[20:21] <mang0> Thing is, I only have a limited amount of CDs here....and my download speed is crappy....like, srsly crappy
[20:22] <holstein> you dont have to*
[20:22] <holstein> its just an idea
[20:22] <holstein> its nice to have diagnostic discs around though
[20:22] <holstein> i routinely use ubuntu 8.04, 10.04, puppy linux, gparted discs, maybe knoppix
[20:23] <holstein> for me, sometimes its easier to just try a kernel out
[20:23] <holstein> a really different one
[20:23] <holstein> and then look up what the differences are
[20:23] <holstein> i mean, if i were you
[20:23] <holstein> i would probably just put a PATA drive in somewhere
[20:23] <holstein> and install ubuntu on it
[20:23] <mang0> Hmm
[20:23] <mang0> tell you what
[20:23] <mang0> I'm gonna burn the 11.04 CD
[20:23] <mang0> and try it
[20:24] <holstein> sure
[20:24] <holstein> im just thinking that acutally the opposite has happened
[20:24] <mang0> thanks for your help with this btw, i really appreciate it!
[20:24] <holstein> that support for your controller has been removed*
[20:24] <holstein> mang0: sure, anytime :)
[20:24] <mang0> :)
[20:24] <mang0> it is very possible that it has been removed
[20:24] <mang0> as it is fairly old...
[20:25] <holstein> thats good though, in a way
[20:25] <mang0> ?
[20:25] <holstein> that means, you coud roll up your own
[20:25] <holstein> with a kernel that will support it
[20:25] <holstein> *in theory
[20:25]  * mang0 is so nooby he is asking in a nooby way what a kernel is
[20:25] <holstein> or, step back to a kernel that supports it
[20:25] <holstein> nah, ask away :)
[20:26] <holstein> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel
[20:26] <mang0> thanks
[20:26] <holstein> every OS has a kernel
[20:26] <holstein> linux is actually the kernel*
[20:26] <holstein> the operating system is ubuntu
[20:26] <mang0> shit
[20:26] <holstein> that utilizes the linux kernel
[20:26] <mang0> I accidentally dled 10.04 instead of 11.04
[20:27]  * mang0 facepalm
[20:27] <holstein> IF you want to be totally accurate
[20:27] <holstein> actually
[20:27] <holstein> mang0: lets download an alternate CD
[20:27] <mang0> shall i try 10.04?
[20:27] <mang0> oh
[20:27] <mang0> okay
[20:27] <holstein> let me get alink

[21:14] <Error404NotFound> right clicking on it does nothing
[21:14] <holstein> Error404NotFound: what are we talking about?
[21:14] <Error404NotFound> opens config for the monitor thats it
[21:14] <holstein> right
[21:14] <Error404NotFound> GKrellm
[21:14] <holstein> move is not an option?
[21:14] <Error404NotFound> performance monitor
[21:15] <holstein> OK
[21:15] <holstein> Error404NotFound: first thing
[21:15] <holstein> accept the fact that we are going to make it move
[21:15] <Error404NotFound> i swear when i first installed it i could move it
[21:15] <holstein> period
[21:15] <holstein> its a machine
[21:15] <holstein> and we're going to tell it what to do
[21:15] <holstein> that being said
[21:15] <holstein> let me add the thing
[21:15] <holstein> and i'll tell you how to move it...
[21:16] <holstein> Error404NotFound: its called 'system monitor' ?
[21:16] <holstein> right?
[21:16] <holstein> everything on the panel
[21:16] <holstein> *the gnome panel
[21:17] <holstein> when i right click
[21:17] <holstein> i get a 'move' option
[21:17] <Error404NotFound> erm i cant find crap now that im in clasic lol
[21:17] <holstein> they are different*
[21:17] <Error404NotFound> gkrellm system monitor
[21:18] <holstein> right
[21:18] <holstein> what was it called
[21:18] <holstein> when you added it?
[21:18] <holstein> how did you add it?
[21:18] <Error404NotFound> searched for performance monitors
[21:18] <Error404NotFound> in apps
[21:18] <holstein> Error404NotFound: OK
[21:18] <holstein> how did you add it?
[21:18] <holstein> you clicked on something in the menu?
[21:19] <Error404NotFound> found in list and hit install
[21:19] <holstein> OK
[21:19] <holstein> then, you probably cant move that
[21:19] <holstein> BUT
[21:19] <holstein> what is it doing?
[21:19] <Error404NotFound> iots just not where i want it lol
[21:19] <Error404NotFound> its*
[21:19] <holstein> Error404NotFound: do this
[21:19] <holstein> on the gnome panel
[21:20] <holstein> right-click
[21:20] <holstein> select 'add to panel'
[21:20] <Error404NotFound> and then
[21:20] <holstein> find and add 'system monitor'
[21:20] <holstein> see if that'll do what you want
[21:20] <holstein> you can move that around anywhere
[21:21] <Error404NotFound> its nothing like what im using now
[21:22] <holstein> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7322845
[21:23] <holstein> i think you need to edit the config page
[21:23] <holstein> to move those around
[21:24] <holstein> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/gkrellm.1.html
[21:29] <Error404NotFound> ffs
[21:29] <Error404NotFound> i tried removing it and reinstalling
[21:29] <holstein> why?
[21:29] <Error404NotFound> it remembered all my settings...
[21:30] <holstein> that was zero of the suggestions i just gave ... :/
[21:30] <holstein> its going to be a config file
[21:30] <holstein> like conky i bet*
[21:30] <Error404NotFound> what you said sounded to hard
[21:30] <holstein> lol
[21:30] <holstein> what i said will probably work*
[21:31] <Error404NotFound> brb
[21:38] <holstein> Error404NotFound: OH
[21:38] <holstein> im checking the config options
[21:38] <holstein> i think theres a GUI
[21:38] <holstein> yeah
[21:38] <holstein> im able to just drag it around
[21:38] <holstein> click and drag
[21:39] <holstein> and F1 is bringing up a menu
[21:39] <holstein> with options
[21:39] <holstein> one option is 'remember screen position
[21:39] <Error404NotFound> i cant drag it
[21:39] <Error404NotFound> no matter where i click on it
[21:40] <Error404NotFound> i see that optiojn
[21:40] <Error404NotFound> option
[21:40] <Error404NotFound> still dont let me drag it anywhere
[21:42] <Error404NotFound> whoah
[21:42] <holstein> try holding alt
[21:42] <Error404NotFound> idk what i did but now i have 2 identical monitors on my screen
[21:42] <Error404NotFound> and i can move the new one
[21:43] <holstein> lol
[21:43] <holstein> i find that when i have the name turned off
[21:43] <holstein> i cant click and drag
[21:43] <holstein> but alt+click+drag works
[21:43] <Error404NotFound> ooh that works
[21:45]  * holstein is looking for a better theme
[21:45] <holstein> so far, i prefer conky
[21:45] <holstein> but, i can never stop messing with these things
[21:45] <holstein> too many options
[21:45] <Error404NotFound> theme for what lkol
[21:45] <holstein> i'll be playing with it this time next week ;)
[21:46] <Error404NotFound> i like classic mode and im using docky
[21:46] <Error404NotFound> nice osx feel to it now
[21:46] <holstein> http://muhri.net/
[21:47] <Error404NotFound> wish i knew how to install this crap lol
[21:48] <holstein> no translucent skins?
[21:48] <holstein> i guess it supports old hardware as-is
[21:48] <holstein> and i like that
[21:49] <Error404NotFound> i want to install the gkrellm skin
[21:49] <Error404NotFound> biut dont know how lol
[21:51] <Error404NotFound> how the hell do i install this crap holstein
[21:55] <holstein> Error404NotFound: you can extract it
[21:55] <holstein> how ever you want
[21:55] <holstein> right-click and extract
[21:55] <Error404NotFound> and then lol
[21:56] <holstein> then move it over into the themes dir
[21:56] <holstein> under the themes tab
[21:56] <holstein> it says where to put them
[21:56] <Error404NotFound> i see no theme tap
[21:56] <holstein>  /home/you/.gkrellm/themes
[21:56] <Error404NotFound> tab
[21:56] <holstein> something like that
[21:56] <holstein> e?
[21:56] <holstein> when you hit F1
[21:57] <holstein> you see gkrellm configuration
[21:57] <holstein> then
[21:57] <holstein> in there
[21:57] <holstein> there is a 'themes' area
[21:57] <holstein> under the 'info' tab
[21:57] <holstein> thats where the info is on where to get skins
[21:57] <holstein> and what to do with them
[21:58] <holstein> /home/YOU/.gkrellm2/themes/
[21:58] <holstein> ^ thats where you move them to
[21:59] <Error404NotFound> i dont see that path
[21:59] <holstein> ?
[22:00] <holstein> where are you looking
[22:00] <holstein> the "." hides it
[22:00] <holstein> SO, in nautilus
[22:00] <holstein> you have to ask to see hidden directories
[22:00] <holstein> control+h i think
[22:01] <Error404NotFound> how do i get nautilus again
[22:01] <holstein> places
[22:01] <holstein> and go somewhere
[22:01] <holstein> like "home"
[22:01] <holstein> nautilus is the default file manager
[22:01] <holstein> in ubuntu
[22:03] <Error404NotFound> nno clue
[22:03] <Error404NotFound> you told me to go to nautilis b4 and i found it now i cant
[22:04] <Error404NotFound> found it
[22:04] <holstein> right
[22:04] <holstein> just go to 'places'
[22:04] <holstein> and pick something
[22:04] <holstein> like 'home'
[22:04] <holstein> or 'documents'
[22:04] <holstein> thats nautlius*
[22:04] <holstein> the file manager
[22:17] <Error404NotFound> holstein how do i get krellm to start with ubuntu
[22:19] <holstein> in gnome
[22:19] <holstein> system - preferences - startup applications
[22:19] <holstein> you'll just make a custom one
[22:21] <Error404NotFound> i dont know the command
[22:23] <holstein> Error404NotFound: you can always open the terminal
[22:23] <holstein> and test
[22:24] <holstein> gkrellm should be it
[22:26] <Error404NotFound> you mean just type gkrellm into terminal?
[22:26] <holstein> right
[22:27] <Error404NotFound> command not found
[22:27] <holstein> Error404NotFound: type gkr
[22:27] <holstein> and hit tab
[22:27] <holstein> it should auto-complete to the proper command
[22:28] <holstein> again..
[22:28] <holstein> try and imagine that the command to start gkrellm exists
[22:28] <Error404NotFound> it did
[22:28] <holstein> and that you can obtain that information:)
[22:28] <Error404NotFound> well ima reboot
[22:28] <Error404NotFound> see if it starts
[22:28] <holstein> :)
[22:34] <Error404NotFound> ok that didnt work
[22:34] <holstein> look at the other entries
[22:34] <holstein> in the starup section
[22:35] <holstein> make sure you enter it properly
[22:35] <Error404NotFound> i didnt
[22:35] <holstein> you want to add i as a command
[22:35] <Error404NotFound> all i did was put gkrellm
[22:35] <holstein> add it*
[22:35] <holstein> Error404NotFound: right
[22:35] <holstein> you put gkrellm in as the command
[22:36] <Error404NotFound> didnt work
[22:36] <holstein> :/
[22:36] <holstein> right
[22:36] <eiriksvin>  hello, im trying to use Remote Desktop Veiwer, how do i set up my desktop to be veiwed by me from another computer?
[22:36] <holstein> its hasnt worked yet Error404NotFound *
[22:36] <Error404NotFound> use team viewer
[22:37] <holstein> eiriksvin: using?
[22:37] <holstein> remmina?
[22:37] <eiriksvin> Ubuntu Remote Desktop Viewer
[22:37] <eiriksvin> ?
[22:38] <eiriksvin> is there supposed to be a server for it or is that just a client?
[22:38] <Error404NotFound> http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/index.aspx
[22:38] <holstein> well, the server isnt running
[22:38] <Error404NotFound> ^ use that
[22:38] <holstein> teamviewer is a little overkill for a home network i think
[22:38] <Error404NotFound> i like it
[22:38] <holstein> and it pulls in some wine dependancies*
[22:39] <holstein> not that theres anything wrong with that
[22:39] <eiriksvin> well this sint a home network
[22:39] <holstein> eiriksvin: what is it?
[22:39] <Error404NotFound> wish there were logitech linux drivers for my mouse...
[22:39] <holstein> if you are trying to connect over the internet
[22:39] <holstein> then, team viewer is an easy way to get around firewall configruations
[22:40] <eiriksvin> im goiing to my sisters house and putting Ubuntu on her PC, i already did my moms... and she loves it, but i want to be able to admin either of them from my own home computer, should they run into any issues
[22:40] <Error404NotFound> id use team viewer then
[22:41] <holstein> yeah, id to teamviewer for that i think
[22:41] <eiriksvin> thank you
[22:41] <holstein> otherwise, you'll need to tunnel in through ports
[22:42] <eiriksvin> now, will that show their desktop from mine?
[22:43] <Error404NotFound> yep
[22:43] <holstein> i'll let Error404NotFound fill you in :)
[22:43] <Error404NotFound> will be like you are sitting at their computer
[22:43] <eiriksvin> great, its alot easier to troubleshoot problems from that!:)
[22:43] <holstein> ive used it from and to win lin and OSX*
[22:44] <holstein> yeah, except network problems eiriksvin :/
[22:44] <holstein> i set it up everywhere, and its nice when i can use it
[22:44] <Error404NotFound> there an anti virus program for this crap?
[22:44] <eiriksvin> notyeah, well we wont have any of those... well unless my wifi disconnects on some random fluke:)
[22:45] <holstein> Error404NotFound: what crap?
[22:45] <Error404NotFound> ubuntu
[22:45] <holstein> probably
[22:45] <Error404NotFound> do i need it?
[22:45] <holstein> thats for you to decide
[22:45] <holstein> AVG has a linux version AFAIK
[22:45] <eiriksvin> heh, i have been everywhere on the internet... not one virus yet:)
[22:46] <Error404NotFound> wonder if norton has av for linux
[22:46] <holstein> not that i see
[22:47] <holstein> its really a matter of user permissions
[22:47] <Error404NotFound> mcafee?
[22:47] <holstein> on windows, you are an administrator
[22:47] <holstein> the whole time
[22:47] <holstein> well, *usually
[22:47] <Error404NotFound> just curious i was told not much to worry about using linux
[22:47] <holstein> thats the typical setup
[22:47] <holstein> not so with linux
[22:48] <holstein> Error404NotFound: i would say ubuntu is still safer than a windows box running AV
[22:48] <holstein> its also still a matter of statistics
[22:48] <holstein> hackers dont want to bother with a small perentage of desktop base
 linux is my dream come true, heh after just a few days... i nuked Windows 7:)
[22:48] <Error404NotFound> wish i could find a decent browser
[22:48] <holstein> AND, its not as easy of a target*
[22:49] <Error404NotFound> i dual boot ubuntu and win 7
[22:50] <holstein> nice Error404NotFound
[22:50] <eiriksvin> yeah, so did i... but i wanted that extra 106 gb that Win7 sucked up... with hardly a thing on it
[22:50] <holstein> i was dual booting for a while
[22:50] <Error404NotFound> if i could game on linux id dump win 7
[22:50] <holstein> its coming
[22:50] <holstein> just be part of the solution
[22:51] <holstein> ask for linux versions
[22:51] <eiriksvin> i felt like i had just broke out of prison when i nuked win7, it felt sooo victorious!!
[22:51] <holstein> buy linux games
[22:51] <holstein> support it, and it will come
[22:52] <Error404NotFound> im just mad about playstation network
[22:52] <eiriksvin> next, my goal is to learn the programming... that way i can really be a Linux user, and a contributor
[22:53] <eiriksvin> i have 2 ps3s, its been an angry past 2 weeks
[22:53] <holstein> eiriksvin: thats awesome
[22:53] <Error404NotFound> more so for me
[22:53] <Error404NotFound> i spent easter in jail lol
[22:53] <eiriksvin> wow
 i just gotta learn where to begin
[22:54] <holstein> bash scripting was suggested to me
[22:54] <eiriksvin> shoot, u have seen how far i have come is what a little over a week
[22:54] <holstein> and i look at python from time to time
[22:54] <holstein> but, im not sure if i'll ever be that kind of contributor
[22:55] <holstein> python is relevant*
[22:55] <Error404NotFound> if at some poiont i think i can contribute i will..
[22:55] <Error404NotFound> erm
[22:55] <holstein> Error404NotFound: you did already
[22:55] <holstein> you suggested teamviewer to eiriksvin
[22:56] <eiriksvin> yeppers!!
[22:57] <eiriksvin> Thats the linux community, "For the people, by the people", not like Microsoft... "By the company, for the money"
[22:57] <holstein> eh
[22:57] <holstein> its just a different model
[22:57] <holstein> cannonical is a buisness too
[22:58] <holstein> buisnesses sell things
[22:58] <cfhansen> well, you should remember that linux =/= ubuntu
[22:58] <cfhansen> most linux distros have no corporate support
[22:58] <holstein> we just take direct advantage of cannonicals contributions
[22:58] <eiriksvin> yeah, they are... but if it werent for the contributions of people like us... Linux would not be around after the 90s
[22:58] <holstein> cfhansen: true
[22:58] <Error404NotFound> im thinking bout installin on my lappy
[22:59] <Error404NotFound> i was told to use suse on laptop though
[23:00] <holstein> yeah?
[23:00] <holstein> use what you want
[23:00] <holstein> the live CD's are a handy resource
[23:00] <Error404NotFound> i think ubuntu will worl just fine
[23:00] <Error404NotFound> not to mention i dont want to have to learn 2 diff os's
[23:00] <holstein> suse and buntu both have live medium
[23:00] <eiriksvin> remember when Red Hat used to be offered by custom cumputer companies... even the big ones could get it
[23:00] <holstein> media?
[23:00] <holstein> CD's*
[23:01] <Error404NotFound> i got a ?
[23:01] <Error404NotFound> can g parted give back space?
[23:01] <Error404NotFound> like if i split the partition to install ubuntu
[23:01] <eiriksvin> c yall later
[23:01] <holstein> eiriksvin: o/
[23:01] <Error404NotFound> transfer something from win 7 partition then delete win partition
[23:01] <holstein> Error404NotFound: you can try
[23:01] <holstein> i say yes
[23:02] <holstein> BUT, you should not do anything major like that withough backing up
[23:02] <holstein> without*
[23:02] <Error404NotFound> cuz i dont gave on my lappy  so no use for windows
[23:02] <Error404NotFound> game*
[23:04] <Pac_Man> where is the .bash_profile located, or better yet, how do i search for files? :D
[23:04] <Pac_Man> and im trying to use the terminal if thats helpful
[23:05] <MrChrisDruif> Something with grep afaik....try grep --help or man grep
[23:05] <Error404NotFound> how much space do i need to install ubuntu
[23:06] <MrChrisDruif> About 4GB is minimum afaik Error404NotFound
[23:06] <Error404NotFound> well thats much better than like 30 gigs for win7 lol
[23:07] <MrChrisDruif> Error404NotFound: Lubuntu should suffice with even less
[23:07] <MrChrisDruif> About 2~3GB
[23:07] <Error404NotFound> i have a 500gb hdd in laptop so space isnt a concern
[23:08] <MrChrisDruif> Granted, you can save many files when you install on a HDD with only 4GB ;)
[23:10] <Pac_Man> now that makes sense, its in the home directory, but hidden!
[23:10] <Pac_Man> and i used find -iname ".bash*" if anyone care
[23:10] <MrChrisDruif> Ahhh.... .bash_profile
[23:11] <MrChrisDruif> dot-files are hidden in nautilus by default
[23:11] <Error404NotFound>  crap
[23:11] <MrChrisDruif> Error404NotFound: ?
[23:11] <Error404NotFound> i dont have enough room to make new partition and transfer all files to it
[23:12] <MrChrisDruif> Error404NotFound: Shared partition?
[23:12] <MrChrisDruif> As in putting the files in a shared partition which can be used by Ubuntu and Windows?
[23:13] <Error404NotFound> ima get rid of windows
[23:13] <Error404NotFound> but i want to transfer all music files to ubuntu first
[23:15] <Error404NotFound> erm lets see if i will survive another ubuntu install..
[23:16] <MrChrisDruif> Error404NotFound: Sure you will
[23:16] <MrChrisDruif> :)
[23:17] <Error404NotFound> ok got my partitions
