[00:48] <tj_> Hello all, might I be able to ask a quick beginner question?>
[00:48] <tj_> Haha, I should have read the title line.
[00:49] <MrChrisDruif> Indeed you should have :P
[00:49] <MrChrisDruif> tj_: What's up?
[00:50] <tj_> I have an Asus n53jf laptop. I installed Ubuntu 11.4 and so far have really been enjoying it. I had issues with installing the nvidia drivers and Unity not working but I was able to address that by killing the nvidia driver. Well now I seem to be having an issue with my sound. I checked to make sure nothing was muted and that the volume was up. I check to make sure my sound device wasdetected and it was. I check different out put methods to
[00:50] <tj_>  no success.
[00:50] <MrChrisDruif> !sound
[00:50] <ubot2> If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.
[00:51] <MrChrisDruif> Joy, it works :)

[08:31] <Error404NotFound> styx did you somehow set it to ubuntu classic?

[08:32] <Error404NotFound> do you have a bar top of your screen?
[08:32] <[styx]> I may reinstall if I get lazy
[08:32] <[styx]> Nope
[08:32] <[styx]> Just icons on my desktop
[08:32] <Error404NotFound> when you turn computer on do you get grub?
[08:33] <Error404NotFound> bioterror:  i gave up on that
[08:33] <bioterror> Error404NotFound, how so?
[08:33] <philipballew> what did the comand i gave you produce?
[08:33] <Error404NotFound> i didnt know how to do it
[08:33] <bioterror> just replace GDM with slim and install that theme
[08:34] <bioterror> but technically slim wants .xinitrc :D
[08:34] <Error404NotFound> that helps me not
[08:34] <Error404NotFound> since i dont know what gdm is
[08:36] <Error404NotFound> [styx]:
[08:37] <[styx]> Hmm
[08:37] <Error404NotFound> hit alt + f2
[08:37] <Error404NotFound> type unity --reset
[08:37] <[styx]> Why
[08:37] <Error404NotFound> cuz you want to fix unity?
[08:38] <Error404NotFound> alt + f2 brings up terminal
[08:38] <[styx]> I'm in terminal already
[08:38] <Error404NotFound> type unity --reset
[08:38] <Error404NotFound> 2 hypens
[08:39] <bioterror> Error404NotFound, when you boot your systems gets loaded by GRUB, grub tells to load linux (the kernel) and then it runs init scripts, brings up different kind of processes fromm init.d, when it starts to get to graphical interface it needs to load GDM (Gnome Display Manager)
[08:39] <bioterror> and from GDM you load Gnome Desktop Enviroment
[08:40] <bioterror> Gnome Desktop loads then lots of other stuff nm-applet (network manager-applet), volume thingie and calendars
[08:40] <bioterror> your login screen is GDM in vanilla *buntu
[08:41] <bioterror> does it make sense now? :)
[08:41] <Error404NotFound> how do i replace gdm with slim
[08:41] <[styx]> Fuck yeah
[08:41] <[styx]> Thatnk you error
[08:41] <Error404NotFound> kind of
[08:41] <Error404NotFound> [styx]:  np man


[09:43] <from-windows-to-> not sure i did the exact install as i did the laptop - but the desktop is not as powerful as my laptop is -
[09:43] <philipballew> does it show itself when you move the mouse near it?
[09:44] <from-windows-to-> no nothing at all it looks like 10.04 version with bars on top and bottom -   and my laptop install only had bar at top and the kool side bar -
[09:45] <philipballew> uname -a type this and tell me what it says
[09:45] <philipballew> into terminal
[09:45] <from-windows-to-> its wierd like it didnt install cause my desktop is not powerful enough ?
[09:45] <philipballew> that can happen
[09:45] <philipballew> your video card
[09:45] <from-windows-to-> mabey that is it its a dell made to run xp - so its older
[09:46] <from-windows-to-> my laptop is a monster 3 gig ram and duo core - lol and the desktop is barly 2.0 with 512 ram
[09:46] <from-windows-to-> and a very sucky video card also yeah...
[09:46] <DarkwingDuck> [styx]: By laptop BG... http://imm.io/5v96
[09:46] <philipballew> and the desktop does not run unity?
[09:47] <[styx]> what was that? lol
[09:47] <from-windows-to-> does not seem to it set up like basic linux - looks like older ubuntu -
[09:47] <DarkwingDuck> [styx]: it's my laptop desktop
[09:47] <DarkwingDuck> from-windows-to-: what video card so you have/
[09:47] <DarkwingDuck> ?
[09:47] <[styx]> looks crazy lol
[09:47] <from-windows-to-> im new and was starting to learn 10.04 till 11.04 came out which i understand more
[09:47] <from-windows-to-> the video card in the dell tower is very low -
[09:47] <from-windows-to-> 64 mb. i think
[09:48] <from-windows-to-> i didnt think linux needed tooomuch to run
[09:48] <[styx]> whats the weather widget?
[09:48] <stlsaint> from-windows-to-: it doesnt ;)
[09:48] <stlsaint> stlsaint: gives the weather
[09:49] <stlsaint> duanedesign: ping
[09:49] <from-windows-to-> so should the dell run the side bar should i try to install it  with a 64 mb video card  and 512 or ram ?
[09:50] <from-windows-to-> i read where i can install the manager to turn off and on desktop features which is missing from the desktop
[09:52] <stlsaint> from-windows-to-: you are installing ubuntu or a variant?
[09:53] <from-windows-to-> new ubuntu 11.04  iso i got offf ubuntu website
[09:54] <DarkwingDuck> from-windows-to-: Unity requires a higher end video because its based off of a 3dgenerator called compiz
[09:54] <stlsaint> DarkwingDuck: HEYO
[09:55] <from-windows-to-> same disk same set up used for laptop and desktop only ---- yeah my laptop looks good the desktop set up like top and botttom  tool bars and no side bar ..lol     thats where i got lost -
[09:55] <DarkwingDuck> you can still use ubuntu and linux but, it will be the "old school" ubuntu and not unity like your laptop
[09:55] <from-windows-to-> so i guess i need t get myself a better tower - and get rid of that older dell...
[09:55] <DarkwingDuck> stlsaint: on my way to bed
[09:55] <stlsaint> from-windows-to-: running ubuntu on 512MB is *possible*

[09:59] <SerialMDK> no clue
[09:59] <SerialMDK> i said ima reboot and when i did all i got was a black screen
[09:59] <DarkwingDuck> SerialMDK: ... what did u do?
[10:00] <SerialMDK> broke linux!
[10:00]  * DarkwingDuck sighs youre the one who deleted gdm didnt u
[10:00] <SerialMDK> yeah lol
[10:00] <SerialMDK> oh diff sn sorry
[10:00] <from-windows-to-> try to get ubuntu  11.04    off ubuntu web site- i had issues trying to learn past versions - but 11.04  works great ..<---- this comming from a new user
[10:00] <SerialMDK> im on mirc in windows
[10:00] <DarkwingDuck> no, its not broken you just deleted the wrong things
[10:01] <DarkwingDuck> from-windows-to-: AWESOME. we are having our development summit this week. ill pass it on to my fellow developers
[10:02] <from-windows-to-> darkwing i got one last question when u get a chance
[10:02] <SerialMDK> natty worked great for me to
[10:02] <SerialMDK> till i broke it
[10:02] <DarkwingDuck> from-windows-to-: yeah?
[10:03] <DarkwingDuck> SerialMDK: without knowing what you deleted... you might have to fresh install
[10:03] <SerialMDK> i wont bother
[10:03] <DarkwingDuck> ...
[10:03] <DarkwingDuck> okay
[10:03] <SerialMDK> back to win 7
[10:04] <DarkwingDuck> okay, good luck
[10:04] <DarkwingDuck> from-windows-to-: you had another question?
[10:04] <SerialMDK> atleast win 7 runs for more than 4 days lol
[10:04] <from-windows-to-> i had to use  a windows boot loader to  dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu -  which i did after long hours online google.lol......and i got the black screen to load windows or linux....no issues there ---- but today i had a issue where linux would not load giiving me a error - so i went back into windows  and deleted  linux from mbr and re did it  with linux again and worked fine - i was wondering what caused the error 
[10:05] <DarkwingDuck> from-windows-to-: what bootloader were you using? windows or GRUB?
[10:06] <stlsaint> SerialMDK: well dont blame the OS, that sounds like you had a "user head space" issue ;)
[10:06] <SerialMDK> i had a horrible os problem
[10:06] <SerialMDK> not pebkac error
[10:06] <from-windows-to-> grub would not install cause i partition  was wierd
[10:06] <DarkwingDuck> from-windows-to-:okay
[10:06] <stlsaint> SerialMDK: no you had a horrible decision making problem, what causes you to delete GDM?
[10:06] <SerialMDK> i didnt delete it
[10:07] <from-windows-to-> i got a 300 gig  and partiton for linus is in the middle
[10:07] <SerialMDK> atleast i dont think so
[10:07] <DarkwingDuck> from-windows-to-: win7 hates sharing bootloader with linux at times...
[10:07] <from-windows-to-> so grub issue i guess what i read from people
[10:07] <DarkwingDuck> SerialMDK: you told me you did
[10:07] <bioterror> windows 7 uses chainloader
[10:07] <SerialMDK> bio told me how to replace with slim
[10:07] <stlsaint> SerialMDK: according to backlog you stated you deleted gdm
[10:07] <bioterror> it only shares bootloader with other windozes
[10:07] <SerialMDK> that mean i deleted it?
[10:07]  * stlsaint *nods*
[10:08] <from-windows-to-> yeah i had to download a boot loader program on windows - just to add in the linux in boot option  - black ugly screen though ..lol
[10:08] <bioterror> SerialMDK, u got that working then?
[10:08] <from-windows-to-> but i am learning   that was a adventure for a new user
[10:08] <SerialMDK> no
[10:08] <DarkwingDuck> from-windows-to-: im off to bed mate. goodluck and welcome to ubuntu!
[10:08] <SerialMDK> im on windows now
[10:08] <SerialMDK> cuz i broke ubuntu
[10:08] <bioterror> SerialMDK, whats the issue?
[10:08] <stlsaint> bioterror: ah the culprit rises :P
[10:08] <from-windows-to-> thanks dark wing
[10:08] <bioterror> SerialMDK, whats broken?
[10:09] <SerialMDK> ubuntu wont start
[10:09] <SerialMDK> at all
[10:09] <bioterror> what?
[10:09] <SerialMDK> i tried gettin gdm back
[10:09] <DarkwingDuck> from-windows-to-: anytime mate, im normally in here so ping me sometime
[10:09] <SerialMDK> and poof it dont work anymore
[10:09] <from-windows-to-> ok kool -
[10:09] <bioterror> SerialMDK, sudo apt-get purge gdm
[10:09] <bioterror> sudo apt-get install gdm
[10:10] <SerialMDK> would hep if it booted to do that
[10:10] <bioterror> and choose gdm
[10:10] <SerialMDK> help
[10:10] <stlsaint> SerialMDK: can you still see grub?
[10:10] <SerialMDK> yes
[10:10] <bioterror> i yesterday fixed inlaws gdm/lxdm thingie :D
[10:11] <from-windows-to-> ,--- do i need to set up a account for this irc thing - never used this before im on a guest  i think ...
[10:11] <stlsaint> SerialMDK: you should be able to get to a tty
[10:11] <stlsaint> SerialMDK: sorry, a virtual terminal
[10:12] <SerialMDK> ?
[10:12] <SerialMDK> how
[10:12] <bioterror> SerialMDK, keep slim installed while purging gdm and reinstalling gdm again
[10:12] <bioterror> so that it gets installed properly to init
[10:12] <stlsaint> bioterror: op say they cant even get into the system at all
[10:12] <bioterror> op?
[10:12] <stlsaint> SerialMDK: gdm is only a desktop environment
[10:13] <stlsaint> bioterror: SerialMDK
[10:13] <bioterror> what?
[10:13] <bioterror> gdm is display manager
[10:13] <SerialMDK> i cant do anything if it wont load
[10:13] <stlsaint> oh im thinking of desktop
[10:14] <stlsaint> probably why im confused about not being able to get into desktop
[10:14] <bioterror> :D
[10:15] <SerialMDK> so how do i get ubuntu to load
[10:17] <bioterror> when you boot
[10:17] <bioterror> where do you get?
[10:17] <Error404NotFound> ?
[10:17] <bioterror> what happens
[10:17] <Error404NotFound> i hit generic in grub
[10:17] <Error404NotFound> then get a black screen
[10:17] <bioterror> what did you do?
[10:17] <Error404NotFound> couldnt tell ya
[10:18] <bioterror> as last time it did work
[10:18] <Error404NotFound> found some crap on web to redo gdm
[10:18] <Error404NotFound> im thinking it didnt work
[10:21] <bioterror> hmmm
[10:21] <bioterror> can you find me that page?
[10:21] <bioterror> maybe we can somehow reverse it
[10:22] <Error404NotFound> ill try
[10:25] <Error404NotFound> well i think i can get it back if i could get into natty
[10:25] <bioterror> I would like to see that webpage you read
[10:29] <Error404NotFound> cant find it
[10:30] <bioterror> I cant help you until your dig it up :D
[10:31] <Error404NotFound> guess im screwed then
[10:46] <mang0> I've got a couple of problems: 1). Ubuntu keeps freezing, and doesn't wake up outta the freeze. I have to hold the power button to shut down, then restart. 2). Whenever I open system manager, it says I'm using 100% CPU, and makes everything very laggy....3). In the "additional drivers" popup, it says I have installed advanced nVidia drivers, but that they are not in use. (maybe that's to do with the freezing?) How do
[10:46] <mang0>  I put them in use?
[10:46] <bioterror> click that activate -button
[10:47] <mang0> done that, they are activated but not in use :/
[10:47] <mang0> wanna see a screenshot?

[12:30] <coalwater> i did the one from the nvidia website, it broke something for me then i returned back to the ones that appeart in the devices thing
[12:30] <coalwater> 'additional drivers' thing
[12:31] <mang0> yeah, I've got the weirdest thing in that app/popup
[12:31] <mang0> it says they are installed, but not in use
[12:31] <DraZoro> mango0: You are welcome
[12:31] <mang0> I can't use Unity without them :(
[12:31] <mang0> thanks again DraZoro
[12:31] <mang0> :D
[12:32] <coalwater> yes, i had that stupid problem too
[12:32] <DraZoro> !nvidia | coalwater
[12:32] <ubot2> coalwater: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto
[12:32] <coalwater> but not it's fine
[12:32] <coalwater> dont remember how i fixed it though
[12:32] <mang0> dammit.
[12:32] <mang0> XD
[12:32] <coalwater> lots of messing around
[12:33] <mang0> I'm just installing some drivers from the software center
[12:34] <mang0> Right, I think its time to get dressed lol
[12:44] <mang0> balls.
[12:44] <mang0> coalwater: I just installed the driver from 'additional drivers' thing, and restarted. Its installed but not enabled. WTF!!!
[12:50] <coalwater> uninstall the other one then
[12:50] <coalwater> mang0,
[12:50] <mang0> Idk what the other one is though :/
[12:51] <coalwater> i think u might need to mess with xorg.conf
[12:51] <coalwater> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:51] <mang0> >.>
[12:51] <mang0> 4 days on ubuntu, and I'm messing with .conf files
[12:51] <mang0> LOL.
[12:52] <mang0> where do I find that?
[12:52] <mang0> home?
[12:53] <mang0> coalwater ^
[12:54] <coalwater> i gave u the full path, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:54] <mang0> oh
[12:54] <mang0> so can I "cd /etc/X11/org.conf in terminal?
[12:54] <mang0> doesn't work.....
[12:54]  * mang0 is confused
[12:55] <coalwater> no, try nano
[12:55] <coalwater> xorg.conf is a file not a folder
[12:55] <mang0> ah
[12:56] <mang0> okay, I've opened it in terminal
[12:57] <mang0> It doesn't say anything about the drivers...
[12:58] <mang0> what do I change in there?
[13:00] <mang0> coalwater: what has the xorg.conf got to do with the drivers?
[13:01] <coalwater> it says what driver is used i think
[13:01] <mang0> hmm
[13:06] <mang0> coalwater: http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/5/12708042020-orig.png thats what I see
[13:59] <coalwater> ok so a simple question, i want to copy my rythembox ratings to the new ubuntu, does any one know what is the files i need to copy?
[14:02] <DraZoro> coalwater: Copy this folder from you home .rhythmbox
[14:02] <DraZoro> coalwater: You can then paste it in the new ubuntu
[14:03] <coalwater> well DraZoro , i don't have a .rythmbox
[14:03] <DraZoro> Ok I was doing it theoretically
[14:04] <DraZoro> Ok check .config/rhythmbox
[14:04] <DraZoro> I will have to check on my old back up ...as I am using banshee now
[14:04] <coalwater> ok, i'm doing a find on my home
[14:05] <coalwater> ./.local/share/rhythmbox
[14:05] <coalwater> ./.cache/rhythmbox
[14:05] <coalwater> ./.gconf/apps/rhythmbox
[14:05] <coalwater> ./.gconf/schemas/apps/rhythmbox
[14:05] <coalwater> ./.gnome2/accels/rhythmbox
[14:07] <DraZoro> Copy ./local/share/rhythmbox
[14:09] <coalwater> ok, found it in this xml .local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml
[14:10] <DraZoro> Wow that is great ...now I know
[14:11] <coalwater> yay, it's moved now :D
[14:12] <DraZoro> :)
[16:33] <LGPhoenix> How can I get a list of the packages available on my installation of Ubuntu server?
[18:54] <mang0> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10787619#post10787619
[18:54] <mang0> help!
[19:13] <ibuclaw> mang0, don't use [size] tags inappropriately.
[19:14] <ibuclaw> I've removed them. :)
[19:14] <mang0> Did I use them inappropreately?
[19:14] <mang0> :/
[19:14]  * mang0 is confused
[19:15] <mang0> ibuclaw: -----------^
[19:16] <IdleOne> mang0: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen
[19:17] <ibuclaw> mang0, setting text size to 3 for the whole post is a bit inappropriate, yes. ;)
[19:17] <mang0> ah, I only did it because it looked small and tiny, and I didn't like it heh
[19:17] <mang0> IdleOne: Thats what Im doing now, but it's confusing LOL.
[19:18] <IdleOne> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:doctormo/xorg-wizardpen  && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wizardpen
[19:18] <IdleOne> reboot
[19:18] <IdleOne> should work. if not I have no idea and you can maybe ask doctormo if he can help with your specific model
[19:20] <mang0> That simple?! The thread makes it look like bloody rocket science
[19:20] <IdleOne> it looks confusing when you aren't used to seeing those sort of howto's.
[19:21] <IdleOne> but yeah, that simple
[19:21] <IdleOne> Step 1 assume the user knows how to add a repo (does provide link how to do that) and assumes you would know to apt-get update.
[19:22] <IdleOne> rather Method 1
[19:22] <mang0> yeah :) Thanks anyway
[19:22] <IdleOne> mang0: I don't think that will work with 11.04
[19:22] <mang0> wait wut
[19:22] <mang0> no, it didn't :(
[19:23] <mang0> E: Unable to locate package xserver-xorg-input-wizardpen
[19:23] <mang0> IdleOne: ^
[19:23] <IdleOne> you updated ?
[19:23] <IdleOne> what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[19:23] <mang0> 11.04
[19:24] <mang0> let me try running the commands seperately
[19:24] <mang0> hold on
[19:25] <IdleOne> the command I gave you should only run the following command provided the previous completed successfully
[19:25] <IdleOne> my head hurts reading that :)
[19:26]  * mang0 had to read it litterally four times to understand it
[19:26] <IdleOne> hehe
[19:27] <mang0> okay, it fails on the last one: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-wizardpen
[19:27] <IdleOne> hmm
[19:27] <mang0> All the others were fine (I took out the &&'s and ran them seperately)
[19:27] <Froq> what do you gusy know about pulse audio?
[19:28] <IdleOne> mang0: seems the packages failed to build for natty
[19:28] <IdleOne> so the PPA doesn't have that package for 11.04
[19:28] <mang0> O.O
[19:28] <mang0> NOOOOO!!!!!
[19:28]  * mang0 rages
[19:28] <IdleOne> don't rage
[19:29]  * mang0 stops raging
[19:29] <mang0> why? ;__;
[19:29] <IdleOne> I am sure doctormo is working on it.
[19:29] <rror404NotFound> how do i use terminal from live cd to repair ubuntu?
[19:29] <mang0> but......but i cant do anything till then. I WANNA DRAW NOW!!!
[19:29]  * mang0 has tantrum.
[19:29] <IdleOne> mang0: install 10.10 and then install the driver from the PPA
[19:30] <Error404NotFound> holstein:
[19:30] <mang0> I can't install 10.10.....long story but it didn't have driver support for my sata raid controller, amongst other things
[19:30] <IdleOne> mang0: after the PPA is updated with a successful package build for 11.04 you can maybe upgrade
[19:31] <mang0> nah, it's not really important. I'll just boot XP for when I wanna draw ftm...
[19:31] <IdleOne> mang0: I see a rock here and hard place here. You are in the middle :/
[19:31] <mang0> heh...yeah.
[19:31] <mang0> :S
[19:31] <IdleOne> mang0: good news is you know there is someone working on it :)
[19:31] <mang0> yup :D
[19:35] <mang0> IdleOne: https://answers.launchpad.net/wizardpen/+question/156150 woohoo look at the comments
[19:35] <mang0> :)
[19:38] <IdleOne> remember if/when you get it working to update your post with the solution :)
[19:39] <mang0> will do
[19:39] <IdleOne> but I suspect the package will be built for natty soon enough. it failed 29 hours ago which means doctormo is actively working on it.
[19:39] <mang0> wut?
[19:39] <mang0> what do you mean....whats 29hrs got to do with it?
[19:40] <IdleOne> doctormo tried to build the package 29 hours ago
[19:40] <IdleOne> and it failed that to me means he was working on it just a day or so ago
[19:41] <IdleOne> silver linings, I look for them everywhere.
[19:42] <mang0> aha! okay, thanks :) How long does it normally take to fix these things?
[19:43] <Error404NotFound> can anyone help me
[19:43] <mang0> !ask | Error404NotFound
[19:43] <ubot2> Error404NotFound: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)

[20:35] <nit-wit> bioterror, try to imagine what that means to a person marginilized by society for being gay....and turn off the swap if hyou want to remove ubuntu.
[20:43] <bioterror> nit-wit, I'm trying ;)
[20:47] <nit-wit> bioterror, its cool most of us forget what seems innocuous to ourselves means something much different to others.;)
[21:07] <kristian_> hi all
[21:08] <kristian_> before making a new installation, I have good experiences with running DBAN... would dd be as effective in preparing the hdd
[21:08] <kristian_> ?
[21:11] <bioterror> if you run it 3 times :D
[21:25] <nit-wit> kristian_, what is the circumstance that dban is needed for, it probably isn't needed
[21:26] <nit-wit> I have only need dban to wipe a HD to reinstall a OEM of XP, neverany other time.
[21:26] <kristian_> I've just noticed the OS runs better when I've used DBAN before installing, but I'd like something faster obviously
[21:27] <nit-wit> placebo effect
[21:27] <nit-wit> but if you feel better go for it.;)
[21:31] <kristian_> nit-wit, noes
[21:32] <kristian_> my hdd is quieter on this very box after DBAN
[21:32] <nit-wit> kristian_, I don't speak leet, or acronyms.
[21:33] <kristian_> me neither, not fluently at least ;)
[21:33] <kristian_> the computer I am using right now got quieter after running DBAN
[21:33] <kristian_> I don't have the recording to prove it, but I'm pretty sure it's not just placebo :)
[21:50] <nit-wit> kristian_, stranger things have happened you never know, I say follow your bliss.;)
[21:50] <kristian_> yeah
[21:50] <nit-wit> ;)
[22:01] <Error404NotFoun1> ffs
[22:07] <bioterror> for fox sake
[22:07] <bioterror> like scottish people says
[22:07] <Error404NotFoun1> my laptop keeps losing wi-fi connection
[23:11] <froq> so how can i add CPU, Ram & computer temperature into my menubar?
[23:13] <nit-wit> froq, what distro?
[23:14] <froq> 11.04
[23:14] <nit-wit> froq, you mean the left side bar correct?
[23:14] <nit-wit> or top bpanel
[23:15] <nit-wit> *panel
[23:15] <froq> nit-wit, i am using the classic shell... so I want to put it on the top
[23:15] <nit-wit> I forget off to goggle be rightback.
[23:16] <froq> nit-wit, o well thanks sir, I was just asking so I didn't have to google, lol.  I appreciate your dedication! :)
[23:17] <nit-wit> froq, here is a strat you could do it all with a conky if the sensors are set up as well. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[23:17] <nit-wit> *start
[23:20] <froq> is 36.5 degrees celcius a good/ bad temperature?
[23:23] <froq> O nvm... I just didn't look far enough to the right, it says anything less than 60 degrees.  WOOT WOOT WOOT
[23:24] <froq> Well piece everyone, have  a great day, and if you have a mother, give her thanks!  (is that only in America or is it everywhere?)
[23:26] <MrChrisDruif> froq: I think everywhere, at least also in Holland
[23:26] <MrChrisDruif> And it's peace right?
[23:27] <froq> MrChrisDruif, haha... I did mean to say that & then when the little red line was under it, I completely forgot what I was saying anyways... :(  SILLY ME.  Though, PEACE****
[23:28] <MrChrisDruif> :)
[23:28] <MrChrisDruif> Sleep well everyone, have a good one! Aloha!
[23:32] <r4y> Does smplayer have the ability to do slow motion without changing pitch?
[23:32] <r4y> I guess I should look before asking
[23:55] <r4y> OK never mind I found it. Although it says under options, preferences, audio, highspeed playback without altering pitch, Smplayer will also keep the pitch the same when slowing down videos as well.
[23:59] <r4y> I like SMPlayer even more now
