=== Braiam-away is now known as Braiam [00:10] Lubuntu [00:11] [styx]; You could try Lubuntu, it's based Ubuntu with LXDE as DE [00:12] <[styx]> i wansnt looking for it [00:12] <[styx]> grover78 was [00:13] Ow....alright....but you could also try it ;) [00:13] xD [00:14] <[styx]> lol [00:14] <[styx]> maybe [00:14] <[styx]> im happy with 11.04 === JasonO is now known as MisterX [00:28] can anyone give me some info plz? looking for a nice light OS to run. Ubuntu is OK, but is there something lighter? [00:30] I'm gonna try mint 10. Or puppy... pro's and cons of these?? [00:30] grover78; Lubuntu [00:31] Puppy is just weird, mainly designed to run as live-system [00:32] Lubuntu (Or Mint 10 LXDE/Peppermint??) is Ubuntu but then with LXDE as DE [00:32] !DE [00:32] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [00:32] Meh... [00:32] Not what I wanted [00:32] what's lubuntu like compared to ubuntu? I'm still getting used to linux stuff. I'm used to WinXP [00:33] grover78; I don't really understand what you mean? Really late over here... [00:33] what's the diff between lubuntu and ubuntu? [00:33] I just want a nice light OS, user friendly of course... [00:34] The biggest difference between is the Desktop Environment chosen. Lubuntu uses LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) where Ubuntu uses Gnome. [00:35] But they use the same repositories, so you can install everything you can install from Ubuntu on Lubuntu [00:35] Basic install is very minimal with Lubuntu, so the "full-desktop" you get with Ubuntu you don't get. But you get a good base to start with :) [00:36] grover: im using xubuntu (10.04) on my (dell) pentium4 2.5ghz 512ram old school comp... it seems nicer to my limited resources than ubuntu 10.04 was [00:36] ok... well I've got mint (Julia) and lubuntu 11.04 on the download.... [00:36] genshooter; Xfce is medium-weight nowadays [00:36] i believe it [00:36] genshooter, thanks for the info, I've got a p4 2 ghz with 756RAM... [00:37] grover78; If you got any questions concerning Lubuntu, please join #lubuntu for direct support or read about it on wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [00:37] has alot of stuff ive turned off like the second workspace, im actually right now trying to find out the best way to edit what programs/scripts/commands are run on startup [00:37] the linux equivolent of msconfig [00:37] right.... [00:38] at this point I think I'll try lubuntu first, see if that's smoother then ubuntu [00:38] if that's no go then I'll try mint [00:38] genshooter; wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu ? [00:38] stallman.org [00:38] Or help.ubuntu.com/community/Xubuntu perhaps? [00:39] grover78; It'll run smoother, you can count on it :) [00:39] sounds good [00:40] so here's a question... how do I download proriatry drivers for my mobo? [00:40] I tried going to the website for support but it doesn't recognize firefox [00:41] Graphics driverS? [00:41] yeah, mobo has built in graphics/vid card [00:41] just hoping to squeeze a bit more performance out of this box [00:43] nvm I think I might have found a work-around [00:43] ...or not. File is dos/win only [00:47] ok so how would I run a win/dos .exe file in linux? [00:49] <[styx]> wine [00:49] <[styx]> grover78 [00:50] yeah? [00:50] [styx]; Yes, but that wouldn't really help him if he tried to install a driver....for Windows [00:51] grover78; Just try it... [00:51] well the file are supposed to be installed to the BIOS... drivers and such [00:51] Lubuntu without proprietary drivers I mean [00:51] lol oh [00:51] <[styx]> oh [00:51] Drivers to BIOS.... [00:51] well, still waiting on the DL [00:51] <[styx]> i thought he was just trying to run a program [00:52] well tell you what. I'll just hang tight while lubuntu DL's [00:52] can lubuntu run live? [00:53] grover78; Yup [00:53] They use Ubiquity just like Ubuntu [00:54] Ubiquity is the fancy "Ubuntu" name for installer [00:54] good stuff. So I'll leave ubuntu installed and run lubunto live for a bit to see what I think [00:55] hey, can I run lubuntu and ubuntu as a dual-boot? [00:55] sorry, random thought there lol [00:56] <[styx]> go through the install process [00:56] <[styx]> just like you did with ubuntu [00:56] <[styx]> but partiton your harddrive [00:56] <[styx]> and install it on the partiton [00:56] ok will do [00:57] I got a terrible DL speed so I'm gonna hop off here... I'll try the install and come back later [01:28] I want to know how long pastebin holds the info pasted, as well as how long imagebin hold images [01:29] I can offtopic if that is better then asking here. I guess it is offtopic [01:37] were talkin about pastebin in #ubuntu right now maybe someone there will know? [01:42] I went to offtopic and some answered my question saying that it is stored for about a month. [01:42] I meant ubuntu-offtopic [01:42] TY, bye o/ [01:46] pastebin lasts usually about a month, but you can change that. [02:03] bio you here? [02:04] for a moment [02:04] it's 4am :D [02:04] where the heck are you?? (I'm in canada its 8pm here) [02:05] Indeed, where are you? as it's only 3 here [02:05] grover78, that country which just won ice hochey world championship ;) [02:05] AM* [02:05] anyways, how is it possible to burn a cd, yet ubuntu not recognise my CD drive under computer? [02:05] lol I see Bio [02:06] grover78, sudo lshw [02:06] can you see your cd-rom drive [02:07] nope, thats the thing. I just burned lubuntu to CD, but yet under places>computer I can't see the cd rom [02:07] strange no? [02:08] hmmm [02:08] you have cd in the drive? [02:09] well the one I just burned. I suppose it was a bad burn and the computer just thinks theres nothing in the drive [02:10] try audio cd or something else [02:10] yeah I just tried my ubuntu CD and that's recognised. [02:10] guess I should re-burn lubuntu and see what happens === styx is now known as [styx] [02:11] grover78, your computer doesnt support usb boot? [02:12] <[styx]> its old he said [02:13] for me C2D is old too [02:13] sadly no bioterror usb boot is not an optiion [02:14] I have to burn the iso to CD and boot from the CD [02:14] do I burn the iso, or the contents of the iso file? [02:14] grover78, check MD5sum first [02:15] how do I do that? [02:15] md5sum fooo.iso [02:19] ? [02:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [03:01] how do i make virtualbox recognize my USB [03:04] The ubuntu website says: [03:04] Add yourself to the user group vboxusers, then log out and back in, to make use of available USB devices. To do this via the graphical interface, click in the menu System/Administration/ Users and Groups. [03:04] However I do not see the vboxusers option in the Users and Groups section [03:27] You might need the non-OSE version of VirtualBox, Ambrose83 === [styx] is now known as styx|away [03:47] I am looking for the virtualbox-4.0 in the software downloader but i can't seem to find it [03:50] Ambrose83: I guest that is a separate repo for that [03:51] Braiam: I am not sure what that means [03:52] Ambrose83: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/608146/ [03:52] ups bad link [03:52] http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads [03:53] Ambrose83: look for the Linux Host line [03:53] then Debian based distros [03:54] Funny, I just did that I have got the package installing now [03:58] Now VirtualBox-4.0 is giving me an error message: [03:58] Failed to access the USB subsystem [03:58] Details: [03:59] Result Code: [03:59] NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x00004005) [03:59] Component: [03:59] Host [03:59] Interface: [03:59] IHost {35b004f4-7806-4009-bfa8-d1308adba7e5} [03:59] Callee: [03:59] IMachine {662c175e-a69d-40b8-a77a-1d719d0ab062} [04:17] i hate ubuntu [04:19] why [04:23] wont connect to blue tooth kb [04:26] Error404NotFound: you have the bluez paq instaled?

[07:34] and hi to you too, welcome to the ubuntu beginners channel (: [07:34] Hi [07:35] well KyleB, until you explain your problem, no one will be able to help you [07:35] lol [07:36] Sorry. I'm having trouble connecting to my ftp server. [07:36] use a hammer [07:36] lol. I would if that would help. [07:37] its helped me on many occasion [07:37] KyleB: okay, but what kind of problems? What are you trying to do exactly? What error messages are you getting? (: [07:38] he must get a lot of pebkac errors like me [07:38] In filezilla I get a 530 login incorrect message. Then a critical error. [07:38] KyleB: did you try any other client? [07:39] +Puck': I've tried fireftp. [07:39] KyleB: and, what happened? (: [07:40] I don't remember the errors but I can't connect still. [07:42] they got cute ftp for linux? [07:43] Error404NotFound: Google is still your friend [07:43] google is not nor ever will be my friend [07:43] KyleB: well when was the last time you connected to the FTP? And did anything change since then? [07:43] Error404NotFound: that's your loss, but still doesn't change what I was trying to imply (: [07:43] its my gain [07:44] google is evil [07:44] alright. [07:44] +Puck': I've never been able to connect to it. [07:44] KyleB: well then double check your credentials, username and password [07:45] +Puck': I'm new to ftp and not sure what files to check and where there are. [07:46] KyleB: oh I see. So where have you setup your FTP server? [07:46] +Puck': It's at my house. [07:46] KyleB: what FTP software did you install? proftpd? [07:47] why use ftp when there's openssh-server and sftp [07:47] * bioterror wonders [07:47] +Puck': Yes. [07:47] i use hfs [07:48] Error404NotFound, you mean HFS+? [07:48] KyleB: are you sure you can connect to the server? I mean does it have connection to the outside world, it isn't blocked by a router or firewall? [07:49] +Puck': I'm not sure how to test that. lol. [07:49] shut down yer firewall... [07:49] KyleB: do you have the ip address of your server? You should be able to ping it. Open a terminal and write: ping yourIP [07:50] Error404NotFound: It's awesome that you're trying to help, but please, just help if you're sure you want too, otherwise you might confuse the others (: [07:51] +Puck': All packets recieved. [07:52] KyleB: that's great. proFTPd uses your server username and password as a login, you sure you used those during a login attempt? [07:52] lol [07:53] +Puck': Yes. [07:54] +Puck': Could I add a new user and try that? [07:54] KyleB: of course, you've got ssh access to the server? [07:55] brb, cigarette break (: [08:05] hello [08:05] .6' [08:05] .5 [08:05] ugh [08:08] hi duanedesign (: [08:08] rough weekend? ((: [08:09] +Puck': How would I create a new user? Would I use this in terminal? sudo useradd username -p password -d /home/FTP-shared -s /bin/false [08:11] sudo adduser [08:11] or use 'User and groups' [08:13] OK, I have a question I have been wondering for many many months if not for more then a year now [08:15] I found an entry not listed in alacarte called other. It has applications that are repeated over and over like for instance wine core exe which exists 6 times. I want to lower that number down if not delete what is not useful at all [08:16] KyleB: what duanedesign said (: [08:16] duanedesign: he's adding users on a server, so not User and groups [08:16] These same entries exist under open with [08:17] +Pule`: I can now access it with my account but there are no directories. [08:17] meant +Puke` sorry. [08:17] KyleB: do you have anything in your /home/ folder? [08:17] These same entries exist under open with other application, sorry I should have completed that sentence [08:17] puke? Ouh ((: [08:17] Puck [08:18] I'm tired. lol. [08:18] haha, it's okay, no worries (: [08:19] +Puck`: Yes. [08:19] KyleB: which username did you login with? The one you just created or the one you tried before and didn't work? [08:21] +Puck`: The one I was trying before. I tried the one I just created and nothing on dice with that one. [08:21] KyleB: you could try to restart proftpd with the command: sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd restart [08:22] * DarkwingDuck holds his breath [08:23] +Puke`: Ok I restared it. [08:25] KyleB: try now [08:25] sorry the -m adds the home directory. sudo useradd -d /home/testuser -m testuser [08:25] sudo passwd testuser <--add password [08:26] +Puck`: Nothing and now I can login with the other account. [08:27] KyleB: and still no directories? Can you create any? [08:27] +Puck`: I can't even connect anymore. [08:28] KyleB: ouhm, something weird is going on there :\ [08:28] +Puck`: Yeah I would say. [08:29] * tsimpson notes that the '+' is not part of the nick [08:31] Sorry [08:32] nothing to be sorry about, just letting you know [08:32] Thanks. [08:32] it actually signifies they have "voice" in the channel [08:32] Voice? [08:33] it's usually used when the channel is moderated, so only people with voice can talk in the channel, but in this case it just shows people who are "important" ;) [08:34] Oh. I see. [08:37] Hmm, so I am looking at these entries under other, like I said there are 6 called wine core exe, I decided instead to look at the 3 called winebrowser under properties of it they have wine start /ProgIDOpen htmlfile %f and wine start /ProgIDOpen htmlfile %f and wine start /ProgIDOpen xmlfile %f so I have an idea of what to do I guess. 2 of those are exactly the same unless I am mistaken, so... [08:37] ...1 of those I guess can be deleted [08:37] I am un aware of the need for these [08:38] Puck`: Any idea what's wrong? [08:39] Could I have accidentally made these entries when opening something but instead accidentally opened wine in it's place? [08:40] That's all I am going to post sorry [08:40] KyleB: well seeing that sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't ... i don't really have the slightest idea [08:43] Puck`: This what it says in the proftpd.log - "USER kyle: user is not a UserAlias" [09:18] Puck`: I created a new user and used the first users password to login and it work. But in the proftpd.log it shows that I connected with the first account. [09:24] And still no directories. [09:32] hi all [09:32] Hello guys i have problem, when I type TOP commands and when im trying to exit top..then CTRL+Z works but its not exit from memory but only suspened top process [09:42] geez, why do people leave if they don't get their reply in 2 mins [09:42] i was gonna help but his loss [09:42] because they are impatient [09:42] and impatient people don't deserve an answer anyway ;) [09:42] a lot of people don't really understand the IRC format, 2 minutes feels like a long time [09:43] pleia2: you're up still?

I got a problem with Ubuntu 11.04 and the standard gnome (2.0 i guess). I installed LibreOffice 3.4.0-5 Beta. After that i didn't see any menu-icons for Libreoffice? [17:19] hmmm [17:19] there's a gnome menu thing for libre office, do u have it installed? [17:20] Thx, for your post. Shure, i did. But is there a script or anything else to do a update of the icons ?? [17:21] are u talking about the application menu icons, or the in application icons, like open and save and such [17:21] you should have /usr/share/applications/writer.desktop or something like that [17:22] @coalwater no, i talk about the gnome-menue. Application - Office - LibreOffice Writer ... [17:23] @bioterror - just a moment, i take a look [17:23] do u have a certain theme installed [17:25] @coalwater -no it is all set to standard - i mean nothing changed. The only thing i change is the LibreOffice installation. Normaly Libre3.3.2 is installed within Ubuntu11.04 [17:27] did u check the directory that bioterror told u? [17:27] i got a file called: /usr/share/applications/libreoffice3.4 writer but thats a link [17:28] as i click on this link in nautilus - the program starts. [17:29] there is also libreoffice3.4 calc and libreoffice3.4 math ... all of them got the same icon [17:30] but in the gnome menu i see a (folder) with a questionmark in it [17:32] it should be in the /usr/share/icons/ [17:32] i think the problem is that they are named like that [17:33] they shouldn't have the libreoffice prefix [17:35] hmm. no in the /usr/share/icons folder i only see other folders. They named like the themes i can choose. (e.g. there is a folder called redglass) [17:37] i found some of the icons. They are at: /usr/share/icons/gnome/128x128/apps [18:50] hi all,can anyone plz help me in executing a simple qt program???error-"QApplication: No such file or directory"???

[23:15] i dont have wireless ,but i could tell u this is a common problem, maybe soon ull find someone to help u === MisterX is now known as JasonO === JasonO is now known as MIsterX === MIsterX is now known as MisterX [23:20] !wireless [23:21] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:21] More then that I can't help [23:21] gotta' find out if there is a working kernel module for your wireless chipset [23:22] if not, well...then hopefully you have the patience for ndiswrapper (assuming it will work with your chipset) [23:22] ubot2, I have no internet access on my laptop now, ethernet driver disappeared too... how do I add drivers via jumpdrive? [23:22] etodd: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:23] well, i would recommend getting to slack [23:23] etodd; I gave ubot2 the command. [23:23] i'm not sure if the CoC recommends a method of "relaxed work", last time i checked, it didn't [23:23] * MrChrisDruif says *Hi* [23:23] seidos, wireless worked with ubuntu 10.10, but updated to 11.04 ... gone? [23:24] lol that ubot2 is smarter than i thought [23:24] etodd: when i used 11.04, it worked [23:24] what chipset are you using etodd ? [23:24] seidos, I'm an amateur... how do I locate chipset? [23:25] etodd: only way i know is the terminal command "lspci" [23:25] the terminal is our friend [23:25] just like "the graph" in economics [23:26] seidos, terminal I can do, commands I don't know [23:26] seidos, let me get back to you with my chipset [23:26] etodd: you can do lspci | grep Wireless *should* return one line [23:26] etodd: then search the web "chipset ubuntu 11.04" something like this [23:28] seidos, lspci gave me a list, not sure where chipset is? [23:29] etodd: do lspci | grep Wireless [23:29] it should make it one line [23:29] but you're looking for "Wireless" [23:30] seidos, nothing [23:30] etodd: paste the whole list, i'll find it for you [23:30] on paste.ubuntu.com [23:30] or...try harder :) [23:30] well, not "harder", but "more" until you succeed [23:30] i'm not in a hurry [23:31] hopefully you aren't either [23:31] how's life? [23:32] seidos, give me a moment, must trx by jumpdrive to windows machine then paste [23:34] ah, i see [23:34] etodd: actually, lspci | grep Ethernet should work [23:37] ok since the dev channel is probably sleeping, any body here for a small regex question [23:38]
