[00:03] <Lucid1004PS3> Good evening....
[00:05] <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
[00:07] <holstein> you can always use a custom xorg.conf.. try the arandr tool, or the included one for tweaking the resolution
[00:08] <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
[00:10] <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
[00:11] <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 :)
[00:12] <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
[01:10] <focalt> yo guys
[01:11] <focalt> i'm trying to install a package
[01:11] <focalt> and i'0m getting this
[01:11] <focalt> http://pastebin.com/yDcKZLks
[01:11] <focalt> what does it mean?
[01:12] <focalt> thankls
[01:13] <GridCube> focalt, check that you have at least build-essentials
[01:14] <lighta> focalt, seen like you can't compile on C++
[01:14] <lighta> so I,d suggest to install g++
[01:15] <lighta> but yeah from youre configure there lot of no so maybe you have other missing librairie
[01:18] <focalt> hum
[01:18] <focalt> ok, thanks :)
[01:18] <focalt> great help :D
[01:44] <mudman> hello
[01:45] <mudman> I'm new here and to linux
[01:46] <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
[01:47] <mudman> its nice really, better than the ubuntu one imo
[01:48] <mudman> the menu is a great help for a windows user
[01:49] <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
[01:50] <mudman> I installed in a old presario laptop
[01:50] <mudman> which i need for school
[01:51] <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
[01:52] <mudman> so untill now I failed at instaling either the gfx driver or the usb2 wireless stick
[01:53] <mudman> from what I've read linux seem to have some problems with wireless sticks, so it may be impossible what I want
[01:54] <mudman> but if someone here his able to help I would be very thankfull
[01:55] <mudman> lsusb reported this:
[01:55] <mudman> D-Link Corp. IEEE 802.11g USB2.0 Wireless Network Adapter-PN
[01:56] <mudman> sorry complete line is : Bus 001 Device 004: ID 2001:3761 D-Link Corp. IEEE 802.11g USB2.0 Wireless Network Adapter-PN
[01:57] <mudman> any tips for a linux newb on how if possible to make it work?
[02:03] <mudman> hello
[02:04] <mudman> someone in here not afk?
[02:09] <shoenig> can you link to the product page?
[02:12] <mudman> thank you for reply but it doesn't exist anymore
[02:13] <mudman> its actually a surecom usb2 11g stick
[02:13] <mudman> lsusb list it has d-link
[02:14] <mudman> from what i read it seems to be compatible with zd1211rw driver
[02:15] <mudman> I just dont know how to install, or I do it wrong, or may even be a losing battle if not compatible :(
[02:17] <mudman> I'm willing to buy another, though my income is small, but I need wireless for shool
[02:19] <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
[02:26] <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.
[02:27] <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
[02:28] <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 ;)
[02:29] <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
[06:20] <xubuntu946> wow, cool ending link on a webchat via the installer.  polished distribution :)
[09:11] <reon> how can I get audacious to show in the volume control icon options on the panel?
[09:20] <bazhang> http://askubuntu.com/questions/86669/how-to-integrate-audacious-in-the-sound-menu no easy way currently reon
[09:24] <reon> bazhang: Thanks will have a look at that link.
[09:33] <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
[09:39] <sanoob> hi any one there?
[09:40] <baizon> hi, yes
[09:41] <sanoob> can i use irc for video sharing?
[09:42] <sanoob> imean video calling ?
[09:42] <sanoob> in emphathy?
[09:42] <sanoob> hi
[09:45] <baizon> dont think so
[09:46] <baizon> irc doesnt support video calling
[09:48] <Marzata> baizon: imo.im does?
[09:49] <baizon> Marzata: how?
[09:51] <Myrtti> I doubt it is purely IRC client
[09:55] <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?
[09:57] <reon> kebriya, you don't have permission to write to the destination folder. What is the destination folder?
[09:58] <kebriya> its one of my partitions
[09:59] <kebriya> what if i log in with root?
[10:00] <well_laid_lawn> you won't have a root user unless you made one
[10:01] <well_laid_lawn> !sudo
[10:01] <well_laid_lawn> !root
[10:02] <well_laid_lawn> what are we talking about anywaay? I just got here
[10:07] <bazhang> he quit, but logging in as root
[10:08] <well_laid_lawn> ok. I don't think he'll get far then...
[10:26] <baizon> guys a question
[10:27] <baizon> is there a plugin / addon / program thats working like unitys dash?
[10:27] <baizon> i mean just the "search" part
[10:29] <bazhang> for thunar?
[10:30] <baizon> not necessarily
[10:30] <baizon> can be a standalone
[10:30] <baizon> for example integrated in the panel
[10:33] <baizon> hmm, can the xfce4-verve-plugin autocomplete for documents?
[10:39] <baizon> found it :D
[10:39] <baizon> xfce4-linelight-plugin
[10:39] <bazhang> nice
[10:40] <baizon> love xfce :D
[10:47] <baizon> hmm, why not combine verve and linelight
[12:56] <mudman> +i mudman
[12:57] <mudman> hello again
[12:58] <mudman> I'm a linux newb, and on irc also :x
[12:58] <well_laid_lawn> hello mudman
[12:59] <mudman> hello
[12:59] <well_laid_lawn> !welcome
[12:59] <mudman> thank you
[12:59] <well_laid_lawn> cheers
[13:00] <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
[13:01] <mudman> but only my wireless stick and gfx's are no installed
[13:02] <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] <mudman> the gfx is IGP340 knowed as RS200M
[13:03] <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] <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
[13:04] <well_laid_lawn> :)
[13:04] <mudman> I know and I'm willing to do it ;)
[13:04] <well_laid_lawn> luck :)
[13:05] <mudman> thanks
[13:06] <mudman> I'm checking those pages, but I'll be around
[13:21] <lordjj> What book/website would be the definitive guide to Linux?
[13:26] <bazhang> lordjj, there is none.
[13:30] <mudman> I hear good things about "linux power tools" and "unix and linux administration handbook"
[13:30] <mudman> but I havent got any yet
[15:42] <blackarchan> im just installing xubuntu in virtualbox
[15:42] <blackarchan> can i use gnome applications?
[15:45] <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
[15:46] <hobgoblin> should be able to - might pull in loads of recommended things - but it will work
[15:47] <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
[15:50] <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
[15:51] <focalt> http://pastebin.com/KmmFM7nn
[15:51] <focalt> that's jockey.log
[15:51] <focalt> what's wrong?
[15:51] <focalt> thanks
[17:05] <likemindead> So Ubuntu is slowly becoming LCARS? ;-]
[17:05] <likemindead> (The Heads-Up Display)
[17:09] <Marzata> Ubu is back to CLI in 12.04
[17:18] <mudman> hello :D
[17:19] <mudman> I have my wireless stick working now :)
[17:19] <autif> what all did you have to do?
[17:20] <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
[17:21] <autif> i probably meant likemindead
[17:21] <mudman> it was really easy thx to ndiswrapper?
[17:26] <xubuntu154> hello smbdy here to help with installation<
[17:26] <xubuntu154> ??
[17:27] <xubuntu154> im installing via live usb, but it seems, is hangs in ubiquity laptop detect
[17:28] <likemindead> xubuntu154: I've always had better luck with CD over USB.
[17:29] <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
[17:30] <xubuntu154> installer copied files quickly ..but now, i'm just w8ing
[17:31] <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
[17:32] <likemindead> It shouldn't take but 15 or 20 minutes, tops.
[17:32] <likemindead> Definitely try the alternate iso.
[17:33] <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
[17:34] <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
[17:35] <xubuntu154> :/ i'm realizing that new kernels/distros are getting worser ..
[17:35] <likemindead> I don't think so.
[17:36] <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
[17:37] <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
[17:38] <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
[17:39] <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 ;)
[17:40] <likemindead> The alternate iso has been very helpful for me over the years.
[17:42] <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
[17:43] <xubuntu154> if it won't work i will try it with alternate
[17:43] <xubuntu154> so see ya soon ;|
[17:43] <likemindead> Godspeed!
[18:00] <blackarchan> can i create a custom menu example Places from gnome?? but with my own Aplications and folders?
[18:03] <holstein> blackarchan: a shortcut to a directory? sure...
[18:04] <blackarchan> but how do you create a Menu like Applications Menu???
[18:10] <holstein> blackarchan: you can add that into the panel, but i think its already there by default... or a mini version of it
[18:16] <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
[18:18] <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
[18:19] <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?...
[18:20] <blackarchan> yes
[18:22] <holstein> mabye the quick launcher? http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin
[18:25] <blackarchan> holstein: thnx
[18:32] <hobgoblin> blackarchan: I have 2 launchers in my panel that have 8 things in them - normal launchers though
[18:34] <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
[18:35] <hobgoblin> you must have show last used item in panel enabled
[18:35] <hobgoblin> but no - there's no sub-menu
[18:38] <blackarchan> hobgoblin:i really need some sub-menus....:(
[18:49] <hobgoblin> sorry blackarchan - no idea how to do that without creating a menu of your own and using that rather than the standard one
[18:51] <knome> blackarchan, if you want submenus, you have to create a separate menufile.
[19:14] <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
[19:15] <knome> http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu
[19:15] <knome> ^ that should help getting started :)
[19:17] <blackarchan> knome: but that is a how tu customize the actual application menu right?
[19:21] <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
[19:22] <blackarchan> knome: so you create a mymenu.menu
[19:23] <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
[19:24] <knome> submenus are also slightly complicated
[19:25] <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?
[19:26] <knome> keep on reading ;)
[19:26] <knome> it's not too hard either
[19:26] <blackarchan> tnx for all the help
[19:27] <knome> np, have fun and good luck :)
[19:30] <blackarchan> knome: thnx
[20:06] <ednem> hiho^^
[20:41] <su> hi
