[00:00] Thanks :) [00:00] i would confirm the iso image, just to be sure [00:00] philipballew: if its a different version, it could be graphics driver related [00:01] alright. the laptop is like 5 years old [00:01] might need 'nomodeset' or whatever safe grahpics more [00:01] mode* [00:01] half gig ram [00:01] thats plenty [00:01] just wont matter if the drivers are funny [00:01] xubuntu 10.04 installed just fine [00:01] and i dont mean 'ha-ha' funny ;p [00:05] i like funny drivers [00:05] they help pass the time! [00:05] Geodude: you used wicd? [00:06] or more precisely, wicd-curses ? [00:06] not sure if thats what you are looking for at all, but its something ive been meaning to look into [00:06] Not sure what that is. /googles [00:07] /installs [00:09] holstein, ill make a usb install. less chance of error [00:11] philipballew: pretty easy to hop around too [00:11] once you get installed... lubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop... whatever [00:21] 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?). [00:22] I'm looking for something that shows:Quality=56/70 Signal level=-54 dBm [00:23] Geodude: is that wicd? or the curses one? [00:23] wicd. wicd-curses gives me screens and screens of errors. [00:23] i was hoping there would be something in the terminal that would be update-able [00:23] Geodude: :/ [00:24] Geodude: maybe some desktop widget [00:25] 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] in particular* [00:25] conky is just fun anyways, i stopped using it because i *cannot* stop playing with it [00:51] hey is anyone in here [01:15] thewrath, just ask your question === AndrewMC` is now known as AndrewMC === M0hi is now known as IAmNotThatGuy === ikonia_ is now known as ikonia === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as Mohan_chml === Geodude is now known as Geo|drunk === _2B_ is now known as E3D3 === E3D3 is now known as _B_ [12:12] <_B_> Hi all, what is broadcast messaging & why is it enable by default ? [12:14] <_B_> Is broadcast messaging just for Twitter & Facebook so I can disable it if I don't use that ? === geirha_ is now known as geirha [16:50] Perhaps someone can help me? [16:51] 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... [16:52] There is no menu screen on startup, like the install page illustrates [16:53] 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 ? [16:59] Solved [17:03] Huh? you can mount rar and zip archives? [17:13] I don't see mounted archives appear in Dolphin's 'places'-panel. How/were can I see mounted archives in Dolphin file-manager? [17:17] E3D3, what do you mean with mounted archives? Can an archive be monted? [17:18] Brutus-: Yes. Rightclick on an archive should give that option. Here its default. [17:18] With it you can use it as a folder in Nautilus [17:18] E3D3, I think you opened it with Archive Mounter [17:19] Yes, but doesn't mounted whatevers show up in Dolpin ? [17:20] Okay, I beter should read about Archive manager instead of dolphin. Sorry [17:20] archive mounter [17:21] No, I should not, I did (a little) I think it has to do with dolphin [17:22] E3D3, Try running sudo mount -o loop file.zip /mnt [17:23] I got a link http://clouddenizen.com/2010/03/13/archive-mounter-in-ubuntu-tip-of-the-day/ [17:23] idk why it is not showing in dolphin. Try that and that might work [17:24] You are great, thanks, I will read it. [17:24] so tender [17:35] IAmNotThatGuy: Thanks for helping. [17:35] No Prob [17:35] :D late as usual :P
