| Lucid1004PS3 | Good evening.... | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| Lucid1004PS3 | I was wondering if there existed an implementation of desktop position/size for Xorg? I am running lucid on a PS3, and while everything looks sweet and runs nicely, I am stuck with a monitor that can't handle the overscan, and somehow setfb only works on the text consoles and not the GUI | 00:05 |
| holstein | you can always use a custom xorg.conf.. try the arandr tool, or the included one for tweaking the resolution | 00:07 |
| Lucid1004PS3 | My videomode is fine, but by default the non-"full" modes are all letterboxed, and setting the full mode overscans by a large margin | 00:08 |
| Lucid1004PS3 | so I toyed with fbset to set the margins and all, but it only affect the text consoles, somehow X seems immune to it... I think it has to do with the order I am loading things up... I am running a fbset shellscript at bootup through /etc/rc5.d/S99setfb | 00:10 |
| holstein | it really depends on your hardware case... you can try other graphics drivers assuming they are available... putting together a custom xorg.conf would be the way to get exactly what you want, assuming the hardware supports it... sometimes i use a puppy live CD or knoppix to assist | 00:11 |
| holstein | Lucid1004PS3: i would undo the fbset you are running and experiment with xorg | 00:11 |
| holstein | good luck :) | 00:11 |
| Lucid1004PS3 | the resolutions on a playstation 3 are exposed by the hypervisor and are limited, I have the best one for now... What I am looking in Xorg is a somewhat simple way to add margins around the desktop space | 00:12 |
| Lucid1004PS3 | I can add panels but then i get my mouse cursor lost off screen | 00:12 |
| focalt | yo guys | 01:10 |
| focalt | i'm trying to install a package | 01:11 |

| mudman | hello | 01:44 |
| mudman | I'm new here and to linux | 01:45 |
| mudman | after some testing with other distro I installed xubunto 11.00 | 01:46 |
| mudman | I must say I like it a lot | 01:46 |
| autif1 | you probably mean 11.04 or 11.10 | 01:46 |
| john_rambo | http://pastebin.com/6pV4yYsk <<<<Cant update 10.04 | 01:46 |
| mudman | yes sorry 11.10 | 01:46 |
| mudman | its the last one | 01:46 |
| mudman | its nice really, better than the ubuntu one imo | 01:47 |
| mudman | the menu is a great help for a windows user | 01:48 |
| mudman | but since I'm new to linux I'm having some problems that maybe someone could help me with | 01:49 |
| mudman | the biggest issue I have is installing drivers | 01:49 |
| mudman | I installed in a old presario laptop | 01:50 |
| mudman | which i need for school | 01:50 |
| mudman | this presario has the ati rs200 gfx's and no wireless | 01:51 |
| mudman | I've been reading a lot, but some docs webpages seem to be directed at other distros | 01:51 |
| mudman | so untill now I failed at instaling either the gfx driver or the usb2 wireless stick | 01:52 |
| mudman | from what I've read linux seem to have some problems with wireless sticks, so it may be impossible what I want | 01:53 |
| mudman | but if someone here his able to help I would be very thankfull | 01:54 |
| mudman | lsusb reported this: | 01:55 |
| mudman | D-Link Corp. IEEE 802.11g USB2.0 Wireless Network Adapter-PN | 01:55 |
| mudman | sorry complete line is : Bus 001 Device 004: ID 2001:3761 D-Link Corp. IEEE 802.11g USB2.0 Wireless Network Adapter-PN | 01:56 |
| mudman | any tips for a linux newb on how if possible to make it work? | 01:57 |
| mudman | hello | 02:03 |
| mudman | someone in here not afk? | 02:04 |
| shoenig | can you link to the product page? | 02:09 |
| mudman | thank you for reply but it doesn't exist anymore | 02:12 |
| mudman | its actually a surecom usb2 11g stick | 02:13 |
| mudman | lsusb list it has d-link | 02:13 |
| mudman | from what i read it seems to be compatible with zd1211rw driver | 02:14 |
| mudman | I just dont know how to install, or I do it wrong, or may even be a losing battle if not compatible :( | 02:15 |
| mudman | I'm willing to buy another, though my income is small, but I need wireless for shool | 02:17 |
| mudman | but its listed here: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices/USB | 02:19 |
| mudman | the only one under surecom its the EP-9001-g A2 | 02:19 |
| mudman | I have to go to bed now, thank you for trying to help | 02:26 |
| mudman | I'll come back tomorrow | 02:26 |
| istok | mudman, don't give up, i'm sure you'll get it sorted :) | 02:26 |
| istok | someone should be active then. | 02:26 |
| istok | night. | 02:27 |
| mudman | I wont thanks ;) | 02:27 |
| mudman | I liked the os a lot | 02:27 |
| mudman | it runs great on this pc :D | 02:27 |
| istok | same with mine, except i can't detect lan/network | 02:27 |
| mudman | I'll also try the linux-wireless channel | 02:28 |
| mudman | well in my case the device shows in lsusb so it must be a good thing ;) | 02:28 |
| mudman | bye bye cya tomorrow then and thanks again | 02:29 |
| istok | it means it detects, but that can still mean some work for you making it work, either loading a module, adding it to kernel, etc | 02:29 |
| istok | later. | 02:29 |
| mudman | will see then thanks people :D | 02:29 |
| xubuntu946 | wow, cool ending link on a webchat via the installer. polished distribution :) | 06:20 |
| reon | how can I get audacious to show in the volume control icon options on the panel? | 09:11 |
| bazhang | http://askubuntu.com/questions/86669/how-to-integrate-audacious-in-the-sound-menu no easy way currently reon | 09:20 |
| reon | bazhang: Thanks will have a look at that link. | 09:24 |
| reon | bazhang: Got it sorted! Installed audacious 3.2 beta from PPA, http://ubuntucafe.blogspot.com/2012/01/install-audacious-32-beta-in-ubuntu.html | 09:33 |
| sanoob | hi any one there? | 09:39 |
| baizon | hi, yes | 09:40 |
| sanoob | can i use irc for video sharing? | 09:41 |
| sanoob | imean video calling ? | 09:42 |
| sanoob | in emphathy? | 09:42 |
| sanoob | hi | 09:42 |
| baizon | dont think so | 09:45 |
| baizon | irc doesnt support video calling | 09:46 |
| Marzata | baizon: imo.im does? | 09:48 |
| baizon | Marzata: how? | 09:49 |
| Myrtti | I doubt it is purely IRC client | 09:51 |
| kebriya | hi. i want to cut my files from home/user/download. but paste is deactive in the partition which i want to move them? | 09:55 |
| reon | kebriya, you don't have permission to write to the destination folder. What is the destination folder? | 09:57 |
| kebriya | its one of my partitions | 09:58 |
| kebriya | what if i log in with root? | 09:59 |
| well_laid_lawn | you won't have a root user unless you made one | 10:00 |
| well_laid_lawn | !sudo | 10:01 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 10:01 |
| well_laid_lawn | !root | 10:01 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 10:01 |
| well_laid_lawn | what are we talking about anywaay? I just got here | 10:02 |
| bazhang | he quit, but logging in as root | 10:07 |
| well_laid_lawn | ok. I don't think he'll get far then... | 10:08 |
| baizon | guys a question | 10:26 |
| baizon | is there a plugin / addon / program thats working like unitys dash? | 10:27 |
| baizon | i mean just the "search" part | 10:27 |
| bazhang | for thunar? | 10:29 |
| baizon | not necessarily | 10:30 |
| baizon | can be a standalone | 10:30 |
| baizon | for example integrated in the panel | 10:30 |
| baizon | hmm, can the xfce4-verve-plugin autocomplete for documents? | 10:33 |
| baizon | found it :D | 10:39 |
| baizon | xfce4-linelight-plugin | 10:39 |
| bazhang | nice | 10:39 |
| baizon | love xfce :D | 10:40 |
| baizon | hmm, why not combine verve and linelight | 10:47 |
| mudman | +i mudman | 12:56 |
| mudman | hello again | 12:57 |
| mudman | I'm a linux newb, and on irc also :x | 12:58 |

| mudman | thank you | 12:59 |
| well_laid_lawn | cheers | 12:59 |
| mudman | well I some just a small problems | 13:00 |
| mudman | I installed xubuntu 11.10 | 13:00 |
| mudman | os runs wonders on my laptop | 13:00 |
| mudman | but only my wireless stick and gfx's are no installed | 13:01 |
| well_laid_lawn | I don't know about the wireless stick but what is the graphics card you have? | 13:02 |
| mudman | I've run lsusb and the wireless shows up has D-Link IEEE 802.11g USB2.0 adapter-PN | 13:02 |
| well_laid_lawn | !wifi | 13:02 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 13:02 |
| mudman | the gfx is IGP340 knowed as RS200M | 13:02 |
| well_laid_lawn | ^ might have a clue | 13:03 |
| mudman | I check thanks | 13:03 |
| well_laid_lawn | is that ati? | 13:03 |
| well_laid_lawn | !ati | 13:03 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 13:03 |
| mudman | been reading quiet a lot before coming here | 13:03 |
| mudman | thank you :D | 13:03 |
| well_laid_lawn | it sometimes takes some effort | 13:03 |
| well_laid_lawn | :) | 13:04 |
| mudman | I know and I'm willing to do it ;) | 13:04 |
| well_laid_lawn | luck :) | 13:04 |
| mudman | thanks | 13:05 |
| mudman | I'm checking those pages, but I'll be around | 13:06 |
| lordjj | What book/website would be the definitive guide to Linux? | 13:21 |
| bazhang | lordjj, there is none. | 13:26 |
| mudman | I hear good things about "linux power tools" and "unix and linux administration handbook" | 13:30 |
| mudman | but I havent got any yet | 13:30 |
| blackarchan | im just installing xubuntu in virtualbox | 15:42 |
| blackarchan | can i use gnome applications? | 15:42 |
| mudman | i'm not shure blackarchan but i think it depends on the version of xubuntu you have | 15:45 |
| blackarchan | last version 11.10 | 15:45 |
| blackarchan | because till now i used only gnome | 15:45 |
| hobgoblin | should be able to - might pull in loads of recommended things - but it will work | 15:46 |
| hobgoblin | if the download looks rather large try in a terminal with sudo apt-get install foo --no-install-recommends see if it is smaller | 15:47 |
| focalt | hello guys | 15:50 |
| mudman | the more i read about wireless support the more confused i get :( | 15:50 |
| focalt | just installed oneiric | 15:50 |
| mudman | hello | 15:50 |
| focalt | but I can't install proprietary graphics drivers | 15:50 |
| focalt | http://pastebin.com/KmmFM7nn | 15:51 |
| focalt | that's jockey.log | 15:51 |
| focalt | what's wrong? | 15:51 |

| likemindead | So Ubuntu is slowly becoming LCARS? ;-] | 17:05 |
| likemindead | (The Heads-Up Display) | 17:05 |
| Marzata | Ubu is back to CLI in 12.04 | 17:09 |
| mudman | hello :D | 17:18 |
| mudman | I have my wireless stick working now :) | 17:19 |
| autif | what all did you have to do? | 17:19 |
| mudman | I'm a bit ashamed to say it, but I used the windows driver :x | 17:20 |
| autif | likeminded, Marzata - There is an ipad app for the PADD with LCARS interface, funny, how I thought it was meant to be hyperbole - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/star-trek-padd/id446277240?mt=8 | 17:20 |
| autif | i probably meant likemindead | 17:21 |
| mudman | it was really easy thx to ndiswrapper? | 17:21 |
| xubuntu154 | hello smbdy here to help with installation< | 17:26 |
| xubuntu154 | ?? | 17:26 |
| xubuntu154 | im installing via live usb, but it seems, is hangs in ubiquity laptop detect | 17:27 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| likemindead | xubuntu154: I've always had better luck with CD over USB. | 17:28 |
| crond | xubuntu154, also if the installer gives you issues, use the alternate iso | 17:29 |
| xubuntu154 | i dont have free Cd :/ ..it's 1st time, it hags ..my PC is 1 year old, phenom X4, gtx460 ..no unknown HW | 17:29 |
| xubuntu154 | installer copied files quickly ..but now, i'm just w8ing | 17:30 |
| xubuntu154 | Jan 25 17:55:41 ubuntu kernel: [ 30.848027] eth0: no IPv6 routers present Jan 25 16:55:44 ubuntu ntpdate[3828]: step time server 91.189.94.4 offset -3597.909898 sec Jan 25 16:56:02 ubuntu ubiquity[3943]: Ubiquity 2.8.7 Jan 25 16:56:03 ubuntu ubiquity[3943]: log-output -t ubiquity laptop-detect | 17:31 |
| xubuntu154 | ubiquity[3943]: log-output -t ubiquity laptop-detect is last entry in installer | 17:31 |
| likemindead | It shouldn't take but 15 or 20 minutes, tops. | 17:32 |
| likemindead | Definitely try the alternate iso. | 17:32 |
| xubuntu154 | what's difference between normal and alternate iso? | 17:33 |
| holstein | http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs-Xubuntu/11.10/release/xubuntu-11.10-alternate-i386.iso | 17:33 |
| xubuntu154 | what's the difference between normal and alternate iso? | 17:34 |
| holstein | xubuntu154: the alternate is a different type of installer bascially, though i like to see the desktop live before in install | 17:34 |
| likemindead | It's faster. No Live Desktop. Just install. | 17:34 |
| xubuntu154 | aha | 17:34 |
| xubuntu154 | :/ i'm realizing that new kernels/distros are getting worser .. | 17:35 |
| likemindead | I don't think so. | 17:35 |
| holstein | yeah, its likely the support for your particular hardware that is challening you | 17:36 |
| likemindead | May just be a Live CD/USB issue. | 17:36 |
| xubuntu154 | why? it's my first time with PC (not laptop) that i'm unable to install linux .. | 17:36 |
| xubuntu154 | for example the newest fedora 16 without problems | 17:36 |
| holstein | xubuntu154: could be as likemindead suggests thats its an issue with the USB install | 17:36 |
| xubuntu154 | i used unetbootin .. | 17:37 |
| xubuntu154 | any advice for smthing better? | 17:37 |
| holstein | could be as i suggested and its an issue with the kernel and the support for your particular hardware | 17:37 |
| xubuntu154 | how is that possible...currently i'm in live session of xubuntu, everything works fine ..but it's unable to install .. | 17:38 |
| holstein | xubuntu154: not sure, you'll just need to troubleshoot and go from there.. the alternate installer is a great next step... taking your USB stick out of the equation is not a bad idea | 17:38 |
| xubuntu154 | i think that 1st thing is to light cigarette, than try it again & than try it with alternate :) | 17:39 |
| xubuntu154 | btw i'm really surprised & pleased that somebody answered me ..so thanks a lot ;) | 17:39 |
| likemindead | The alternate iso has been very helpful for me over the years. | 17:40 |
| xubuntu154 | thanks again, i have never used it | 17:42 |
| xubuntu154 | ok, i'm going to balcon, to smoke cigarette & then I will try it with original iso again | 17:42 |
| xubuntu154 | if it won't work i will try it with alternate | 17:43 |
| xubuntu154 | so see ya soon ;| | 17:43 |
| likemindead | Godspeed! | 17:43 |
| blackarchan | can i create a custom menu example Places from gnome?? but with my own Aplications and folders? | 18:00 |
| holstein | blackarchan: a shortcut to a directory? sure... | 18:03 |
| blackarchan | but how do you create a Menu like Applications Menu??? | 18:04 |
| holstein | blackarchan: you can add that into the panel, but i think its already there by default... or a mini version of it | 18:10 |
| blackarchan | Applications Menu it is ...but that was an example i want to create somthing like that...but instead to put in it my own things | 18:16 |
| holstein | blackarchan: sure, its all open, you can literally do whatever you like... you might want to explore adding some custom launchers to the panel | 18:18 |
| blackarchan | but with launchers you have 1 launchers for 1 application....so if want to have more then 10applications it will full my panel | 18:19 |
| holstein | try and be general though.. a lot of folk here dont know what it is when you compare what you want to gnome... its been a while since i have been in there as well... if you can come up with exactly what you want, and where you want it, we can help | 18:19 |
| holstein | blackarchan: do you want something like a drawer?... or a seperate panel? or a launcher bar?... | 18:19 |
| blackarchan | yes | 18:20 |
| holstein | mabye the quick launcher? http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin | 18:22 |
| blackarchan | holstein: thnx | 18:25 |
| hobgoblin | blackarchan: I have 2 launchers in my panel that have 8 things in them - normal launchers though | 18:32 |
| blackarchan | hobgoblin: what i don`t like at launchers is that they have only icon and the icon is autogenerated from last application runed and you cannot make sub-menus | 18:34 |
| hobgoblin | blackarchan: my icons stay the same | 18:34 |
| hobgoblin | changeable in advanced | 18:34 |
| hobgoblin | you must have show last used item in panel enabled | 18:35 |
| hobgoblin | but no - there's no sub-menu | 18:35 |
| blackarchan | hobgoblin:i really need some sub-menus....:( | 18:38 |
| hobgoblin | sorry blackarchan - no idea how to do that without creating a menu of your own and using that rather than the standard one | 18:49 |
| knome | blackarchan, if you want submenus, you have to create a separate menufile. | 18:51 |
| blackarchan | knome: how can i create a separate menufile???thats what im asking?: | 19:14 |
| knome | blackarchan, currently, it's not too easy | 19:14 |
| blackarchan | if i can learn then its perfect | 19:14 |
| knome | http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu | 19:15 |
| knome | ^ that should help getting started :) | 19:15 |
| blackarchan | knome: but that is a how tu customize the actual application menu right? | 19:17 |
| knome | blackarchan, well, the thing is, you have to create a similar menu | 19:21 |
| knome | then you can add another "xfce menu" applet, and use the menu file you just created | 19:21 |
| blackarchan | knome: so you create a mymenu.menu | 19:22 |
| blackarchan | knome: now ive seen that u can use a custom file for menu | 19:23 |
| knome | blackarchan, yeah | 19:23 |
| blackarchan | i see...its not that complicated just a long proccess if you want a simple menu | 19:23 |
| knome | yeah, mostly | 19:23 |
| knome | submenus are also slightly complicated | 19:24 |
| blackarchan | im gonna start reading right away...but way submenus are more complicated???its just more code in xml or you need to add more scripts/includes? | 19:25 |
| knome | keep on reading ;) | 19:26 |
| knome | it's not too hard either | 19:26 |
| blackarchan | tnx for all the help | 19:26 |
| knome | np, have fun and good luck :) | 19:27 |
| blackarchan | knome: thnx | 19:30 |
