| holstein | spaceneedle: i use gparted, but im sure theres a simpler tool | 01:16 |
| CrownWheel | Hey, Xubuntu users. Anyone try installing the R statistics pakages under Oneiric, v11.10 yet? It's giving me peculiar dependency issues. | 01:51 |
| k_sze | hi guys | 02:16 |
| CrownWheel | oh. hey. | 02:17 |
| CrownWheel | For a long minute there, I didn't think anyone talked on this channel... | 02:17 |
| CrownWheel | what's on your mind? | 02:18 |
| k_sze | I need some assistance with re-installing 11.10 over a failed 11.04-to-11.10 upgrade. | 02:18 |
| k_sze | I want to re-install 11.10 *in-place*, without having to wipe the existing ext4 partition. | 02:19 |
| CrownWheel | wow. beyond my expertise, I'm afraid. I just came in to get advice on installing R under 11.10... | 02:22 |
| w30 | k_sze, just tell the installer to put it on that partition and format it again as ext4 as it installs | 02:36 |
| k_sze | w30: "without having to wipe the existing ext4 partition" | 02:38 |
| w30 | k_sze, well formatting it again will wipe it for everyone except the FBI | 02:39 |

| _Pete_ | hi | 16:52 |
| _Pete_ | for somereason my audio is not working when using xubuntu session | 16:52 |
| _Pete_ | when logged in to gnome unity it works | 16:52 |
| _Pete_ | I suspect xubuntu deciced to switch to output to HDMI output | 16:52 |
| _Pete_ | how to change that in xubuntu? | 16:52 |
| Sysi | try with mixer, if that doesn't work, get pavucontrol/paprefs | 16:55 |
| _Pete_ | ok found it thanks | 16:55 |
| _Pete_ | just wondering why it was switched in first place | 16:56 |
| Sysi | stuff happens | 16:59 |
| Sysi | so doing it from mixer worked? | 17:00 |
| _Pete_ | yes | 17:00 |
| _Pete_ | from gnome-settings | 17:00 |
| _Pete_ | how about this: is there way define how much it will go forward/backward in parole video player when one presses keyboard arrows left/right? | 17:00 |
| _Pete_ | now it jumps way too much | 17:01 |
| Sysi | that's the same as using pavucontrol.. it should work from xfce-mixer too, but that's not fully confirmed | 17:01 |
| Sysi | I think you can't | 17:01 |
| Sysi | you can use vlc or gnome-mplayer (but I'm not sure about that on them) | 17:02 |
| _Pete_ | yeah, in vlc it is by default alt+left/right | 17:02 |
| _Pete_ | did boot to newest kernel today so that changed the audio outputs I guess | 17:08 |
| powercircle | Hey together, I need some help with adjusting to the xubuntu experience coming from 20 years of Mac OS :) Anyone willing to help? :-) | 17:59 |
| holstein | powercircle: sure... | 18:00 |
| holstein | might i suggest taking a few days and approaching it similarly to when you first started using macOS | 18:01 |
| powercircle | Okay, first it's great to am switching, finally, after four years of considering :P | 18:01 |
| holstein | instead of trying to immediately make "this" be like "that" | 18:01 |
| holstein | linux/ubuntu is open, and can be configured to look and feel literally any way you would like | 18:01 |
| powercircle | I'm on xubuntu since november already after first trials in may. This is my long thought out plan to leave apple behind :P | 18:01 |
| holstein | but, i find taking some time to get used to the defaults can be easier on everyone involved | 18:01 |
| holstein | you might also consider going with a desktop environment that might be more like OSX out of the box | 18:02 |
| holstein | though xubuntu is not a bad choice | 18:02 |
| powercircle | I'm switching to get away from defaults. I've got around of 14 years professional linuy _SERVER_ exp. on my back, but have some problems with more specific things. | 18:02 |
| holstein | cool | 18:02 |
| holstein | ask what you like here then, and if someone can, they will help :) | 18:03 |
| holstein | powercircle: welcome | 18:03 |
| powercircle | For example I now have around 27 Terminals open, but can't distinguish them in the tasklist. | 18:03 |
| _Pete_ | powercircle: if so, I guess you handle all well from shell? | 18:03 |
| powercircle | hrhr, youre reading my thoughts? | 18:03 |
| powercircle | I'd like to set the title of the terminals to the currently running process, but can't find something that can do that. I suspect it's an environment variable? | 18:04 |
| _Pete_ | it depends wich xterm/cloneofit you are using | 18:05 |
| TheSheep | powercircle: I got rid of the task list and just use the workspace switcher | 18:05 |
| _Pete_ | I guess you can use pure xterm too | 18:05 |
| powercircle | BTW.: I'm not stupid. An URL or a small hint like "look at TERMINAPP_CMD variable" is totally sufficient :-) | 18:05 |
| powercircle | Nah, I like the look and feel of the xfce terminal. Also as you said, I'd like to stick to defaults as much as I can. | 18:05 |
| _Pete_ | I have similar background | 18:06 |
| TheSheep | xfce terminal has an option to set the title in the preferences | 18:06 |
| _Pete_ | but I prefer to mix what best suits me | 18:06 |
| powercircle | Yeah it has such a field where it just says "Terminal" now. Can I use variables in there? | 18:06 |
| holstein | i would consider looking at other terminal emulators that might do what you are looking for http://martin.ankerl.com/2007/09/01/comprehensive-linux-terminal-performance-comparison/ | 18:06 |
| holstein | i use screen a lot personally, and tend to label the running screen sessions.. not sure if that would help you locate | 18:07 |
| TheSheep | powercircle: I think so, mine displays the name of the process there | 18:07 |
| _Pete_ | powercircle: just curious, where do you need 27 terminals? :) | 18:07 |
| powercircle | What's in your field there,then? | 18:07 |
| powercircle | Maybe you're using this $PS1 somewhere in .bashrc or .profile? | 18:08 |
| TheSheep | powercircle: but I'm afk now so I can't check :( | 18:08 |
| powercircle | Okay, next annoyance. I've had a great and simple way to store passwords in mac os x. a passwords disk image. It mounts when double-clicked and asks for a master-password. | 18:09 |
| powercircle | The only solution on linux that comes to mind for me is dm-crypt+losetup+xterm. Is there something fancy that saves .txts ? :-) | 18:09 |
| TheSheep | in xfce you have the keyring | 18:09 |
| TheSheep | there is also a fuse filesystem that encrypts single files on the fly | 18:10 |
| powercircle | I looked at various password safes already, they seem too limiting to me, unfortunately. | 18:10 |
| holstein | you could transition to truecrypt on both OS's | 18:10 |
| TheSheep | encfs or something | 18:10 |
| powercircle | brrr, truecrypt? I'm running multiple FDE servers and tried it. It performs poorly, IMHO. | 18:10 |
| powercircle | But thats a great Idea to look for GUI passwords-asking youre right. Thanks :) | 18:11 |
| powercircle | I'll need some seamlessly integrated Windows/Mac OS programs, too. I'm looking into buying VMWare Workstation, but would like to stick with KVM. Can KVM provide windowed seamless integration? | 18:12 |
| * holstein uses virtualbox | 18:13 | |
| holstein | i think they all support that now though | 18:13 |
| TheSheep | I think even qemu/libvirt does | 18:13 |
| powercircle | I searched around for an hour and could find info about that for KVM. | 18:13 |
| powercircle | *couldn't | 18:13 |
| TheSheep | use libvirt-manager | 18:14 |
| TheSheep | it's the cool thing for ubuntu | 18:14 |
| _Pete_ | powercircle: just curious part 2: what did make you do this switch? | 18:14 |
| powercircle | I'm stuying network security, so I need to work lots with latex omnet++ and this stuff, but Mac OS X did it all perfectly well. | 18:15 |
| powercircle | There are two things which make me switch (second only discovered during the switch). | 18:15 |
| powercircle | 1. Linux doesn't tell me how to love to do things. I hate being told: You can't do that, because It's complicated. | 18:16 |
| powercircle | Also I come from an evangelist standpoint. I loved mac os 7,8,9,X... But then they added the appstore, the iPhone etc. | 18:16 |
| powercircle | I don't want to hand out my freedom to do as I please with the stuff I pay for and pay for lots. | 18:16 |
| powercircle | Also, as I work so much with Linux it's the natural alternative. I can compile the kernel I want, use the hardware I want, etc- | 18:18 |
| powercircle | The second point is, it's _TOTALLY_ cheap. I've got a MacPro with 24Gb RAM and 3 SSDs sitting next to the stinker I'm working with now. | 18:18 |
| powercircle | And guess what? The stinker is faster. It has 4gig of ram and can handle more Browser Tabs than the Mac could. Thats amazing. | 18:19 |
| * powercircle is planning this switch since 2009. | 18:19 | |
| _Pete_ | under the bridge? | 18:20 |
| powercircle | mh? | 18:20 |
| powercircle | another example would be chatting on over 64 irc networks. mac os x's colloquy crashes when trying. xchat doesnt care :) | 18:21 |
| _Pete_ | is that where you need all those 27 terminals? | 18:22 |
| _Pete_ | btw, just curious part3: | 18:24 |
| _Pete_ | when you did run your macos7, was it on 68k or ppc system? | 18:24 |
| Sysi | macp pro means probably mac os x | 18:25 |
| Sysi | oh, misread | 18:27 |
| _Pete_ | powercircle: I suggest, while being there under bridge, and planning next trolling, try to figure out something more intelligent | 18:31 |
| powercircle | _Pete_, I'm sorry to hear that you think about it that way. | 18:47 |
| csenger41 | hello everyone | 19:15 |

| csenger41 | and u can set it up to execute a specified command if u get a new email | 19:17 |
| csenger41 | my question would be if with what command can i put a notification to the desktop | 19:18 |
| _Pete_ | it's sure you can | 19:19 |
| _Pete_ | with "primitive" X tools like xmessage | 19:19 |
| csenger41 | u know the same as when u plug a pendrive into the comp and it shows up that its mounted etc. | 19:19 |
| knome | csenger41, notify-send "Summary" "Text" | 19:19 |
| _Pete_ | but maybe there's some better way for xfce? | 19:19 |
| csenger41 | knome: sec gonna check | 19:19 |
| _Pete_ | csenger41: ah, nice to know! | 19:20 |
| csenger41 | _Pete_: what? | 19:20 |
| _Pete_ | notify-send | 19:20 |
| csenger41 | yay, working, thanks | 19:21 |
| csenger41 | does this work on other distros, like Ubuntu or Kubuntu? | 19:25 |
| knome | csenger41, yes, should work. | 19:25 |
| knome | csenger41, that's the general bin for notify messages | 19:25 |
| csenger41 | thank you very much for the help :) | 19:29 |
| csenger41 | http://nandiel.tumblr.com/post/14270846334/show-custom-notification-message | 19:29 |
| csenger41 | thank you for the help again, ur awesome knome :) | 19:40 |
| csenger41 | bye i g2g now | 19:40 |
