| Geodude | Thanks :) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | i would confirm the iso image, just to be sure | 00:00 |
| holstein | philipballew: if its a different version, it could be graphics driver related | 00:00 |
| philipballew | alright. the laptop is like 5 years old | 00:01 |
| holstein | might need 'nomodeset' or whatever safe grahpics more | 00:01 |
| holstein | mode* | 00:01 |
| philipballew | half gig ram | 00:01 |
| holstein | thats plenty | 00:01 |
| holstein | just wont matter if the drivers are funny | 00:01 |
| philipballew | xubuntu 10.04 installed just fine | 00:01 |
| holstein | and i dont mean 'ha-ha' funny ;p | 00:01 |
| philipballew | i like funny drivers | 00:05 |
| philipballew | they help pass the time! | 00:05 |
| holstein | Geodude: you used wicd? | 00:05 |
| holstein | or more precisely, wicd-curses ? | 00:06 |
| holstein | not sure if thats what you are looking for at all, but its something ive been meaning to look into | 00:06 |
| Geodude | Not sure what that is. /googles | 00:06 |
| Geodude | /installs | 00:07 |
| philipballew | holstein, ill make a usb install. less chance of error | 00:09 |
| holstein | philipballew: pretty easy to hop around too | 00:11 |
| holstein | once you get installed... lubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop... whatever | 00:11 |
| Geodude | holstein: wicd isn't showing me wireless signal or quality. It does show the signal strength percentage, but not in an indicator applet (that I can see?). | 00:21 |
| Geodude | I'm looking for something that shows:Quality=56/70 Signal level=-54 dBm | 00:22 |
| holstein | Geodude: is that wicd? or the curses one? | 00:23 |
| Geodude | wicd. wicd-curses gives me screens and screens of errors. | 00:23 |
| holstein | i was hoping there would be something in the terminal that would be update-able | 00:23 |
| holstein | Geodude: :/ | 00:23 |
| holstein | Geodude: maybe some desktop widget | 00:24 |
| holstein | Geodude: HEY... im thinking conky... http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-563401.html wireless_link_qual net Wireless link quality (Linux only) im particular | 00:25 |
| holstein | in particular* | 00:25 |
| holstein | conky is just fun anyways, i stopped using it because i *cannot* stop playing with it | 00:25 |

| _B_ | Hi all, what is broadcast messaging & why is it enable by default ? | 12:12 |

| FoxtrotZero | Perhaps someone can help me? | 16:50 |
| FoxtrotZero | I tried to install Ubuntu (with the Windows installer) which idn't give me any trouble, but I can't figure out how to start my computer using Ubuntu... | 16:51 |
| FoxtrotZero | There is no menu screen on startup, like the install page illustrates | 16:52 |
| E3D3 | What is the use of mounting archives like rar & zip ? I always have to reconfigurate that and am curious about what you can do with it ? | 16:53 |
| E3D3 | Solved | 16:59 |
| geirha | Huh? you can mount rar and zip archives? | 17:03 |
| E3D3 | I don't see mounted archives appear in Dolphin's 'places'-panel. How/were can I see mounted archives in Dolphin file-manager? | 17:13 |
| Brutus- | E3D3, what do you mean with mounted archives? Can an archive be monted? | 17:17 |
| E3D3 | Brutus-: Yes. Rightclick on an archive should give that option. Here its default. | 17:18 |
| E3D3 | With it you can use it as a folder in Nautilus | 17:18 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | E3D3, I think you opened it with Archive Mounter | 17:18 |
| E3D3 | Yes, but doesn't mounted whatevers show up in Dolpin ? | 17:19 |
| E3D3 | Okay, I beter should read about Archive manager instead of dolphin. Sorry | 17:20 |
| E3D3 | archive mounter | 17:20 |
| E3D3 | No, I should not, I did (a little) I think it has to do with dolphin | 17:21 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | E3D3, Try running sudo mount -o loop file.zip /mnt | 17:22 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | I got a link http://clouddenizen.com/2010/03/13/archive-mounter-in-ubuntu-tip-of-the-day/ | 17:23 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | idk why it is not showing in dolphin. Try that and that might work | 17:23 |
| E3D3 | You are great, thanks, I will read it. | 17:24 |
| Brutus- | so tender | 17:24 |
| E3D3 | IAmNotThatGuy: Thanks for helping. | 17:35 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | No Prob | 17:35 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | :D late as usual :P | 17:35 |
