munzbrb03:53
munzyay itnet7 running nicely :)03:56
ShawnRanyone know why power management would be missing from my system settings on 11.04?03:59
munzShawnR: have you clicked your pwr button (next to your user name)04:09
munzthen system settings04:09
munzthen hardware04:09
munzthen PM is there04:09
ShawnRyeah, munz pm is NOT there for me :/04:10
ShawnRi did do the gnome3 switch instead of unity, i don't know if that would have lost the icon somehow04:10
munzohhh04:10
munzpossibly04:11
ShawnRwhat is the command to launch it from terminal?04:11
ShawnRor do you know the package name for it?04:11
munzi dont know the command04:11
ShawnRthis is killing me, i guess somewhere in all this upgrading, it set my lid close to put it in suspend (at least every time i close the lid, i have to put in the password and network connection is lost)04:12
munzgnome-power-preferences04:14
munz^^^^^^04:14
ShawnRthanks a lot04:14
ShawnRThe program 'gnome-power-preferences' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:04:14
ShawnRso i guess that's why i am missing it :P04:14
munzlol04:15
munz:)04:15
ShawnRi kept googling and only got something for the gnome-panel notifcation thingy and for the pm-* commands04:15
ShawnRi still have to try and figure out what i want.  i don't like unity, nor gnome304:17
ShawnRand ubuntu classic seems to be a little lacking for me, i want gnome 2.04:17
munzyea, did you tru unity for a while?04:17
ShawnRhowever, i'm assuming i'll have to find some new-age thing to adjust to eventually04:18
ShawnRyeah, i gave it about a week or two solid04:18
ShawnRi REALLY like having a toolbar at the bottom with my currently open windows04:18
ShawnRi don't like the mac osx-ish panel on the left04:18
munzi would like to be anle to tweak it more04:19
munzi did not like it @1st04:19
ShawnRright04:19
munzbut do like more now04:19
ShawnRif i had more tweakable options, i could deal with it04:19
ShawnRi like having a bar up top to have a quick launch from and a bar at the bottom with my currently open04:20
ShawnRif i had more room to tweak unity, i'd give it more of a chance04:20
ShawnRthe other thing is, on my older laptop, it doesn't run so hot anyways (gnome3 wasn't any better in that respect either)04:20
munzyea, i feel my old laptop (p4 2.4GHz) is getting left behind04:22
ShawnRmine isn't that old, but it is a true Vista baby (bought the day vista came out)04:25
ShawnRso jan 200704:25
ShawnRok, this is odd04:26
ShawnRwhen i try to apt-get install gnome-power-preferences, it says i already have the newest version04:26
ShawnRerr, i apt-get gnome-power-manager04:27
ShawnRbut when i try to run gnome-power-preferences, it says cannot find, pls apt-get install gnome-power-manager... infinite loop it seems04:28
munzhmmmm?04:28
munzweird04:28
ShawnRyup04:29
ShawnRgonna reboot, brb04:29
munzn04:38
munzk04:38
ShawnRodder still....04:43
ShawnRhttp://img163.imageshack.us/i/screenshot3ob.png/04:46
ShawnRthat's what i get04:46
ShawnRnow, weechat runs on my server, i ssh into the server to view it04:47
ShawnRso it should have nothing to do with my laptop (which i am currently dicking around with on the stupid unity in ubuntu 11.04)04:47
ShawnRterminal is fine when SSHed in, but once i start up the irc program, it looks like that dookie04:47
ShawnRsomething is weird04:47
itnet7munz: glad it's working04:52
itnet7did it pause for your cloak when you launched it?04:52
itnet7munz: Twirssi is pretty sweet as well, There's an even easier way to install it on Ubuntu05:05
munzitnet7: yes it did05:26
munzi'll look @twirssi 2 morrow05:26
itnet7Yeah, You'll really like it05:26
itnet7you can even use it for identi.ca05:26
itnet7it just doesn't seem to forward to both unfortunately05:27
itnet7even if your account in either is set to05:27
itnet7ttys... let me know how it goes!05:27
munzk05:27
pak33mitnet7: see you been messing with twirssi. is it limited to twitter or does it do identica as well?15:10
pak33mi used to use identichat but could never keep in a room15:10
pak33mitnet7: ah nm, stopped being lazy and looked it up15:11
dorganis there a way to tell the last time logwatch ran on a system?15:34
munzpak33m: itnet7 said it can do both but only one at a time...i think :)16:59
munzany one have experience w/running rs-232 over cat5 cable17:01
munztrying to find out how far i can run it17:02
munzlol pak33m, just read you figured it out17:04
chayniemunz: if you're using a converter, it's probably the same limits as ethernet, or ~100ft17:05
munzi'm trying to not use a converter17:06
munzwant to run it 75-100ft17:06
munzto an outdoor sign17:06
jimmahmunz: well, sorta I did17:30
maxolasersquadmunz: We have a POS system that uses RS2332 over CAT5, but it's probably four feet long.17:35
maxolasersquadI'd bet it's still the regular cat5 distance, or something close to it.17:36
munzcool, i think i should be ok then :)17:40
munzthanx17:41
maxolasersquadhttp://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/487591 says 50m should be fine.17:58

zushello everyone  19:45
itnet7hey there zus !19:47
zushey itnet7 19:47
zusoh i filled  out the survey thing i got in the  emails, i have to admit since i began using ubuntu  i have learned alot but still feel as if im a newbie19:48
itnet7no worries! Thanks for filling it out!!19:49
zuswas it an anonymus survey or does some info  get sent  out?19:50
itnet7I am pretty sure it's anonymous19:50
itnet7though it will be tabulated, and will provide some measurement metrics for the user experience team (I believe)19:51
zuswell i got some questisons i wanna read up on but first, is xfce and xubuntu two diferent things?19:52
itnet7xfce is the window manager for xubuntu19:54
itnet7xfce is a separate project outside of ubuntu19:54
itnet7zus: I need to find the time a little later to take the survey myself19:55
zusitnet7,  i am usin chromuim and it took a second to load page to page but other than that it was a simple  to the  point survey, 19:57
itnet7cool, I just have to do this one quick required training thing for work, then I'm gonna hit it too19:58
zusitnet7,  i was working for a cable company but they laid everyone off and  shut the doors in  St. Lucie county20:09
itnet7zus: So sorry to hear that!20:14
zussucks with no work cant back up my fun times. beer drinking and hell raising20:16
zusi really hate when  i mistype a url and its a comcast page that  pops up asking if i ment such and such.20:31
itnet7Yeah20:32
itnet7I know what you mean20:32
zushow come   they changed from ooo to libre? 20:46
itnet7zus: ooo was acquired by Oracle when they purchased Sun20:47
zusi see20:47
itnet7Oracle was not doing any active development, so a bunch fo developers left Oracle and forked the project20:48
zusso in a sence it still is  ooo 20:48
zusare they still doing virtualbox?20:49
maxolasersquadzus: Oracle is still doing VirtualBox, and it is still rocking.20:50
zuscool20:50
itnet7zus: kind of but it seems faster too me for some reason when I use it20:52
itnet7^ libreoffice20:52
itnet7VirtualBox does rock!20:53
itnet7Even with Oracle maintaining it20:53
itnet7I am surprised they did what they did with dropping ooo like that20:53
itnet7zus: they just recently announced the drop of support and blamed it on the community fork20:54
zuson an review of  11.04 in youtube  a guy said there are features that are new to libre that werent in ooo i have yet to  play with it so i dont know20:54
itnet7which was really backward20:54
itnet7cool20:54
zushttp://www.facebook.com/OracleLinux im reading  tihis  now20:56
itnet7pak33m: ping20:56

itnet7#southeastlinuxfest21:11
pak33mGTswagger: nm, think i got it. that whole google thing.21:11
pak33mitnet7: thanks my man21:11
pak33m:)21:11
itnet7np21:11
maxolasersquadThe best thing Oracle could have done was held on to it and watched it die.  Now that they've freed it too late, i.e. after LO wanted to merge, it's causing splintering in the community.21:12
itnet7n/widow 2321:12
maxolasersquadI hope OO and LO can still merge and become one organization with one product.21:12
maxolasersquadGiven the the community has already jumped to LO, it may make more sense for LO to obsorb OO than the other way around.21:12
itnet7Yeah!21:13
zusso long as it works and well i suppose. and it seems that LO was accepted very fast21:19
zuswere they around  before or is  LO fairly  new?21:20
zuslol, im in archlinux  channel reading, and some one  just got  this http://arch.har-ikkje.net/gfx/gtfo2.png21:26
zusim putin that on a widget as a pic on my desktop21:27
munzitnet7: hey i keep getting "sh: notify-send: not found", any ideas?22:05
itnet7do you have libnotify-bin installed22:06
itnet7?22:06
munzok i just installed it can you say my name?22:07
itnet7munz: ping22:07
munzcool, i think it is now working :)22:07
itnet7Did you see a notification in the upper right side?22:07
munzyes but i had xchat open also22:07
munzlol22:07
itnet7Oh, cool!!22:07
munzcan you try again22:08
itnet7sure 22:08
zusis there any xubuntu user in the team?22:17
mhall119zus: off and on23:05
zusmhall119,  hi. if im thinking right  being a light wieght distro i can have more room on my  hdd and run more programs since saving resources  im not sure23:08
mhall119zus: your thinking is right23:11
mhall119Xfce runs in less RAM, and Xubuntu tends to have a smaller default install size23:12
mhall119if you want really light, you might try Lubuntu also23:12
mhall119but, IMO, Xubuntu has better integration and more polish23:12
zuswell, i dont want to lose the "eye candy"  but in using the  KXStudio-team-ppa it adds a lot of  audio video and grpahics  programs i want/need23:13
mhall119you can run Compiz in Xfce, IIRC23:14
mhall119but that kind of defeats the purpose23:14
zusi really sdont run compiz and  my kwin is minimal i have a few widgets though23:15
zusyes finally   linuxmint 11 kataya releases..... 23:23
