Bandittrying to get hdmi passthrough to work on my system.  on ubuntu i can get stereo output and multichannel output.  but i want to passthrough to my receiver to do the decoding00:49
steemedHello00:49
benonsoftwareHi steemed00:49
steemed:) I used to be an ubuntu member...00:50
steemedI'm having a problem with bash executing a script00:50
steemedie adb00:50
steemedin 12.0400:50
steemedSo I include adb in the path and it say ~/androidstuff/platform-tools/adb not found00:51
steemedwhen it is there and ls shows it is there00:51
steemedand it is executable00:51
steemedsh is the same story00:51
Unit193Expand that to full path.00:52
steemedDoesn't work00:53
steemedEven doing the full path in bash00:53
steemedI'll pastebin00:54
Unit193That sure is weird.00:54
steemedhttp://pastebin.com/VikrFyEG00:55
steemedUnit193: ^00:55
steemedAnd yes I did chmod +x00:55
Unit193`bash adb` may do it, but what's the contents? Also try `file adb`00:56
steemedmind if I paste two lines from file here?00:56
Unit193Sure.00:57
steemedandrew@unicorn:~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools$ file adb00:57
steemedadb: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, stripped00:57
Unit193Alright.00:58
steemedandrew@unicorn:~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools$ bash ./adb00:58
steemed./adb: ./adb: cannot execute binary file00:58
Unit193Yeah, I misunderstood that it wasn't a bash file.00:58
steemedk00:59
steemedDo I need 32 bit libraries? This is 64 bit00:59
Unit193I'd think there'd be errors or something, but that's not the type of error I'd expect.00:59
steemedhm01:00
Unit193I've not had anything like this, so I can't be of much help.01:00
steemedAlright thanks anyways01:00
deper29hey, I'm having an issue. I'm dual booting backtrack 5 and ubuntu 10.04 64bit. My splash screen for ubuntu when I log in is surrounded by green. http://imgur.com/7PIH101:10
boliviano3Hey everyone. I'm trying to install 12.04 on my HP desktop but I don't get the option to "install alongside windows 7." The only options I get are to "erase and install" and/or "something else." Can anyone help me out w/ how I'd go about installing it alongside Windows 7?04:12
holsteinboliviano3: are you choosing the drive that has windows 7 on in?04:12
boliviano3i haven't gotten that far yet. I installed 12.04 on another computer but it gave me the option to install alongside windows. Since this time it didn't give me that option I don't know how to proceed04:14
holsteinboliviano3: you need to be choosing a hard drive with windows 7 on it04:15
holsteinboliviano3: i you have a USB stick, or other hard drives in the machine, you could have that selected ay accident04:16
holsteinyou wont see an "install along side" option, if you choose a device which has nothing to install anything alongside04:16
boliviano3where would I have picked the wrong device? once i the live cd starts it asks if i want to try ubuntu or install. i pick install but then the install alongside never comes up04:18
holsteinboliviano3: not sure... maybe you can take pictures... could be hanging somewhere... could be what im suggesting where you are not choosing the proper drive somehow04:19
boliviano3i know that on the other install after I picked to install alongside windows the I got to choose the size of the partition but this time I just get "erase & install" or "something else"04:23
holsteinboliviano3: right.. im proposing you are *not* choosing the hard drive with windows on it04:23
boliviano3what i'm saying is i'm *never* getting the option to choose where I want to install04:24
holsteinboliviano3: well, you already got it once, so saying "never" isnt fair or true04:25
holsteinto take my adivce into consideration, you just need to confirm that the drive has windows on it, and that you are choosing it04:25
holsteinim proposing that you are choosing a different drive in error04:27
holsteina drive that doesnt have windows on it04:27
boliviano3but how would I be choosing the wrong drive when I'm not given the option to choose one?04:28
holsteinboliviano3: not sure.. i have seen dropdown menuse.. again, you should try and take a photo, or maybe try the alternate installer04:29
holsteindropdown menus*04:29
boliviano3what's the alternate installer?04:29
boliviano3dropdown menus where?04:29
holsteinboliviano3: you'll see the alternate iso's listed here http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/04:30
holsteinboliviano3: i have seen them in the installer.. the GUI one, but i have no idea what you are seeing04:30
holsteinboliviano3: try the alternate, and see if that gets you what you are looking for04:30
holsteinits a more text based installer with more options04:30
boliviano3ok so after the live cd boots up I get this04:35
boliviano3http://www.ubuntu.com/sites/www.ubuntu.com/files/active/try-intsall.jpg04:35
boliviano3I choose install and I get this04:36
boliviano3http://www.webscopia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Installation-Procedure-No-OS-Detected_thumb.png04:36
boliviano3when I should get this04:36
boliviano3http://www.ubuntu.com/sites/www.ubuntu.com/files/active/installation-type.jpg04:36
boliviano3never is an option given to choose a hard drive before then04:37
holsteinboliviano3: you can try the alternate iso04:41
holsteinyou can use a live CD with gparted to shrink the ntfs partition04:42
holsteinthen, you can use the "something else" option and install to the empty space you created04:42
holsteinboliviano3: i wouldnt just expect the installer to magically do what you need it to do... shrink windows and install ubuntu beside it04:43
holsteinif its not working, try doing it manually with the same tools the installer would use04:43
JoseeAntonioRboliviano3: Tengo una sugerencia04:44
JoseeAntonioRboliviano3: Has intentado correr Windows, dejarlo corriendo unos 5 minutos, y luevo volver a arrancar del CD?04:45
JoseeAntonioRPosiblemente haya algun registro, aunque no estoy seguro de eso04:45
holsteinboliviano3: i just tried on a dell.. didnt see the "alongside" option05:02
holsteini just saw what you had05:02
holsteini would just choose to shrink the partition... i would either try that in the "something else" option, or with gparted from a live CD05:03
holsteini would have my data backed up before doing either...05:03
holsteinenjoy!05:03
rainstakeOkay, so I have an update problem and I'm supposed to report, but don't know how.05:28
IAmNotThatGuyrainstake, hello. What is the error you are getting?05:28
rainstakeI"m running update now so I can post it.  What's that website to post error messages, again?  Oh, and I have to step away only for a bit to help feed our baby.05:30
bioterror!paste | rainstake05:30
ubot2rainstake: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.05:30
rainstakeWell, that update and upgrade worked this time, but I still have that silly red dot with the minus sign in it on my tab.05:31
bioterroryou say you have problem05:32
bioterroryou want to report but you dont know how05:32
IAmNotThatGuyCan you take a screenshot and put it in imagebin.com, share the links?05:32
bioterrorand when we ask about you say "oh but I have this update going but I cant report it now"05:32
IAmNotThatGuyrainstake, screenshot in imagebin.com will make us understand and can help you better05:33
rainstakeIAmNotThatGuy: I think I have a broken package, I just received that error from package manager.  Excuse my confusion, I usually don't have multiple issues with ubuntu.05:34
IAmNotThatGuyOkay05:34
rainstakeI'm running update manager again so as to see what error message appears.05:35
bioterrorwhy not just open terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"05:36
bioterrorwould be faster than taking screenshots05:36
rainstakebioterror: I ran update and upgrade and am having issues, once the slowness is resolved, I'll show the screen shot of the error page.05:37
rainstakeIAmNotThatGuy: here;s the link to the screenshot: http://imagebin.org/21008805:44
rainstakeI'm back.  Here's a message error I am receiving: http://imagebin.org/21008806:01
IAmNotThatGuyAwww! kernel install issue :(06:03
rainstakeSounds horrible, then, eh?06:03
JoseeAntonioRIAmNotThatGuy: I had to do a backup and then restore is after a fresh install06:03
IAmNotThatGuyTry running 1) aptitude clean 2)aptitude update 3)aptitude safe-upgrade06:04
IAmNotThatGuyUse sudo if there are some lock errors06:04
rainstakeOkay, will do.  I'll report the results, soon.06:05
bioterroralways sudo with aptitude06:06
IAmNotThatGuyOkay. If that also fails, you have to manually extract the package and install06:06
IAmNotThatGuybioterror, okies06:06

r4yFor me sometimes the search bar for the Ubuntu Software Center is there and sometimes it's not.06:33
IAmNotThatGuyr4y, is is after the upgrading to 12.04?06:33
r4yI installed from CD06:34
r4yI had no idea they kept all the logs for irc for Ubuntu related channels. Sounds like a gold mine06:35
r4yI am still lost a little when it comes to Unity06:36
r4yI should go read tutorials and watch videos on it06:37
bioterrorthat's why I like plain gnome shell better06:37
r4yMe as well06:37
r4yI like the options for appearance better06:38
r4yThe icons on the left take up a lot of space and liked the space saving drop down menu06:38
r4yI liked the applets. Like force quit, lock screen, and system monitor06:39
r4yI liked alacarte for customizing the main menu06:40
IAmNotThatGuycool06:40
r4yI haven't tried doing sudo apt-get install gnome-shell06:40
r4yOnce that is installed will I be able to switch back and force between Unity and Gnome?06:41
r4yI heard it can be done from the login screen06:41
r4yWill the customizations for Unity and Gnome remain separate for certain things other then  say preferences for having delete set for right click and so on?06:43
r4yI need to go do a couple of things. But I am not leaving06:44
r4yThat is what life is about.06:45
surajitI need help to solve my login problem in ubuntu 11.04... anyone there?09:00
surajitafter booting to the system, when I enter my username and password into the graphical login screen, it goes blank and returned me the same screen again. But I can login in tty1 with the same username and password. After searching a lot, I found that people are talking about .xsession-errors file, in which, in my case I found this error:   /etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup... .: 20: Can't open /usr/share/im-config/09:06
surajitwhat should I do?09:07
AJH101hi so far so good with pp but i am being told not all files downloaded correctly (when i try updating). do i reinstall over the top?09:26
Unit193Depending on the errors, you should be able to either  `sudo apt-get update`, `sudo apt-get install -f`, or `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade`09:28
AJH101ok will try all 3! :-) thx09:28
AJH101tried the 1st and: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade09:31
AJH101sorry ignore that!09:31
AJH101W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/jsevi83/unity/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found09:32
Unit193Well, you have an old ppa left over, either comment it out, or use !ppa-purge to remove it.09:35
Unit193"It'll be located at /etc/apt/sources.list.d"09:36
Unit193!ppa-purge09:36
ubot2To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html09:36
AJH101ok will try thx09:37

CuliforgeHello, I have a game that is non-gui but linux native. when it launches the screen is off-set to the side. Is there a way to adjust that without messing with my monitor 'hard button' controls or so that it automatically centers and doesn't mess with other display settings?12:04
SidewinderCuliforge, Somewhere in 'the game's' preferences, perhaps?12:27
SidewinderEither that or perhaps you need to launch from terminal with screen parameters; but I'm not sure how to do that, sorry. :-(12:29
CuliforgeSidewinder: looked through prefs, no dice... I'll google about screen params tho... thanks12:51
SidewinderCuliforge, You're more than welcome; I just wish I could have been more definitive. I know that I have my terminal command (for when I open a terminal) that has the parameter "--geometry=150x60" because I want it a certain size. I don't know how that'll help with the centering but it might be a start..12:55
CuliforgeSidewinder: as another.. when I launch game via the script in terminal, the game takes over the display (as I believe it should) so it doesn't seem to make sense that an adjustment to the terminal window would solve my issue. Back when I was a M$ user, there was, in file properties, open/run with paramaters as well as previous windows version emulation (sort of) that would allow you to set window metrics and such. Dunno if there13:15
zigzagHi guys I have a bit of experience with linux but not much with unity. does unity have a system tray and can I get gpodder to appear in it (setting the option in gpodder doesnt appear to have any effect)13:16
Culiforgezigzag: you may have to run session under gnome-fallback or some such to get system tray from what I know of it..13:17
Culiforgezigzag: but that will involve disabling unity all together13:18
SidewinderCuliforge, No, I was not suggesting that term. win adjustment would do anything; it was just an example to hopefully get you on the right track. I apologize if I was unclear. Guess that's why my wife keeps telling me that my advice is worth exactly what I charge for it.. :-)13:18
zigzagOh so other than those 2 littler arrows you cant tell if gpodder is running13:18
CuliforgeSidewinder: no, not at all, mostly me talking out loud.. I understood what you meant13:19
SidewinderKewl, and good luck..13:20
Culiforgezigzag: don't know what gpodder is, just know from when I ditched unity for some semblance of the old interface13:20
Culiforgefor me, unity was like putting a square wheel on my car :)13:21
zigzagCuliforge: Not giving up yet, but maybe soon. do you run gnome 3 or cinnamon13:23
Culiforgegnome313:23
zigzagwhat do I need to do install on 12.0413:24
zigzagsudo apt-get install ...? ppa ? and does it break something13:24
Culiforgedidn't see the point of running a netbook-like interface when I have desktop screen real estate13:24
Culiforgeubuntu forums are full of walkthroughs on how to get rid of unity and revert back to a gnome like experience13:25
Culiforgeforums/help pages13:25
Culiforgejust did it the once myself so I don't remember the step by steps of it13:26
zigzagI trying to get my family to move to linux and I think gnome 3 is not entirely there. I found the mint was still a little buggy; at least from where I was sitting13:26
zigzagCuliforge: if I install gnome 3, can I switch between it and unity from the logon screen13:27
Culiforgehehe, just do what I did... wipe their computers and install ubuntu.... mwuhahaha!13:28
zigzagCuliforge,: No my wife still loves me and I would like it to remain so13:28
Culiforgeyeah, there's the login option for that.. there's unity 3d, unity 2d, gnome-fallback, and I think gnome-somethingorother... (nothing like being specific eh?)13:29
duanedes1gntheir used ti be a version of Ubuntu that looked liked XP13:32
duanedes1gnoop, they already left13:32
zigzagjust when I thought I was getting somewhere, I have no sound13:47

fahmyboyHi All, anyone available to answer a newbie question on getting wireless working14:57
fahmyboyi have been struggling with this issue for a week14:57
beachbuddahhey ubuntu beginners - if anybody's home, I'm wondering how to create a start button for a program that requires a cli command to get it going15:26
geirhaThat's called a launcher15:26
beachbuddahcool - are they hard to make?15:27
geirhaWhat's the nature of this program? does it have a gui?15:27
geirhaor does it run in a terminal?15:27
beachbuddahyes - it's Truecrypt15:27
beachbuddahit has a gui15:27
geirhaDoesn't it already have a launcher then?15:27
beachbuddahI was only able to find a .deb pkg for 6.0 and it only starts in the terminal, but then it's launced and up comes the gui15:28
beachbuddah*launched15:28
duanedes1gnif you are using  unity when you launch it right-click and select pint to launcher15:29
beachbuddahright click where - just in the program itself?15:29
duanedes1gnthe icon in the launcher on the right15:29
geirha*left15:30
duanedes1gnbeachbuddah: what version of Ubuntu are you using?15:30
beachbuddahok gotcha, I'll give that a try15:30
duanedes1gngeirha: ha, you are correct15:30
beachbuddah12.0415:30
duanedes1gnok then that should work15:30
beachbuddahfair enough - thak you for the assist15:30
duanedes1gnhi geirha , good to read you15:30
geirhahey :)15:31
beachbuddahit didn't work, there was no option to pin it to the bar15:31
geirhabeachbuddah: If you run   dpkg -L truecrypt15:32
geirhadoes it list any files in /usr/share/applications?15:32
beachbuddahno15:33
geirhaOk, well, to make your own launcher, there's two main ways.15:34
beachbuddahk15:34
geirhaOne is to install alacarte and create it in there15:34
geirhathe other is to create it manually with a regular text editor15:34
beachbuddahalacarte  - ok15:34
beachbuddahhmm - I'm about technical enought o isntall alacarte15:35
beachbuddahI'll give it a go, thanks15:35
duanedes1gnbeachbuddah: might be cALLED 'lock to launcher'15:36
geirhaFor the latter approach, or if you're just curious, open one of the .desktop-files in /usr/share/applications/ in a regular text editor (such as gedit).15:37
geirhaThe format is fairly simple.15:37
beachbuddahduanedesi1gn - oh - no there was only the name of the program and the option to quit15:37
beachbuddahok - just copy and paste and change the command to truecrypt?15:39
geirhaYes, and save to ~/.local/share/applications/truecrypt.desktop15:41
geirha(that's where alacarte will save it too)15:42
beachbuddahummm - where do I find ~/15:43
beachbuddah<----noob to filesystem here15:44
geirha~ is your homedir15:44
StepNjumpHi guys, when I try to start guake at the CLI and do a & after like so: guake & it works fine BUT when I close the terminal window, the process ends. Why15:44
beachbuddahahh15:44
geirhaStepNjump: Because the terminal sends SIGHUP to the shell, and the shell in turn sends SIGHUP to the child processes.15:45
StepNjumpah geirha15:45
geirhaStepNjump: If you instead exit the shell, the shell will disown its children before exiting, and the terminal will exit when it's process exits.15:45
geirhae.g. by running exit or hitting Ctrl+d15:46
StepNjumpIs there a way for it to not sigh15:46
StepNjumpso it runs as a TSR?15:46
geirhaYou can also tell bash to disown the child process by using the disown command15:46
geirhaguake & disown15:46
geirhaTSR?15:46
StepNjumpTSR like in Terminal stay resident15:47
StepNjumpoh ok, well thank you very much geirha I appreciate it. I will try it now15:47
geirhaI don't know what terminal stay resident means15:48
StepNjumpOh yes, it works fine! thanks a lot15:48
StepNjumpoh it's a windows term sorry15:48
StepNjumpIt's the first time I ever disowned a child15:48
geirhaYet another option is to not run it in a terminal in the first place15:48
StepNjumpKind of feel bad about it lol15:49
geirhajust Alt+F2 -> guake  (no ampersand)15:49
StepNjumpoh really ok!15:49
StepNjumpWow you know your stuff!15:49
beachbuddahodd - the launcher exists and is now pinned to the taskbar, but the icon is the a question mark as opposed to the 'T' that was there when15:49
beachbuddahI ran it through the terminal15:50
geirhabeachbuddah: find the icon name, and set it as icon for the launcher15:50
beachbuddahlemme try that15:50
geirhadpkg -L truecrypt | grep pixmaps15:51
beachbuddahahh tnks15:51
geirhaif it says e.g. /usr/share/pixmaps/truecrypt.png, then just use  Icon=truecrypt  in the .desktop-file15:51
geirhaIt used to be easy to create launchers, but they removed that feature in 10.10 or so... for whatever reason.15:53
beachbuddahthe command returns nothing - no response - back to the prompt.  Checking the file, there is no file - under any name - that resembles the truecrypt icon15:55
geirhaHm. So it doesn't install any icons probably15:55
geirhaAt least, not in the standard location15:56
geirhadpkg -L truecrypt | grep '\.png$'15:56
beachbuddahfair enough - for an encryption program, maybe a grey question mark is appropriate, lol15:56
geirhahaha15:56
geirhaYou can have a look in /usr/share/pixmaps, it should contain lots of icons. You might find a nice one :)15:57
beachbuddahlol15:57
beachbuddahdpkg-query: error: --listfiles needs at least one package name argument15:59
geirhayes, the syntax is  dpkg -L packagename   or   dpkg --listfiles packagename16:01
StepNjumpmaybe geirha you can help me.. For the last few days, I start getting more and more spam in my kopete. People are trying to add me. Do you think one of my account such as msn might be compromized?16:01
beachbuddahoh ok - sorry16:01
geirhaStepNjump: No idea, sorry. I don't use such protocols.16:01
StepNjumpis it safe geirha ?16:03
geirhaProbably16:04
StepNjumpGosh Ubuntu works well.. I hope Windows 8 won't take over! darn bastards16:04
StepNjumpI read they are trying to prevent us to install linux on the new hardware16:06
StepNjumpdo you think this will work?16:06
geirhaThey'll probably try, but it will either be stopped by a court, or the open source community will simply find a way to circumvent it16:08
StepNjumpI hope so... I did the switch about 6 months ago and I absolutely love it16:09
StepNjumpLost too much time with Windoze crap16:09
StepNjumpLost most of my life with this piece of shit (please escuse my language)16:09
beachbuddahgeirha, I know the icon is in here somewhere, but I have no clue where.   I give - I will live with the grey question mark16:15
beachbuddahthank you for your help.16:15
geirhabeachbuddah: dpkg -L truecrypt | grep -e '\.png$' -e '\.xpm$'16:15
geirhathat should list any images that might be icons, installed by the truecrypt package.16:16

anonhello world21:13
anonim having a problem with my printer21:13
nlsthznhi anon ... ask away21:14
anontrying to hplip to work but when i run hp-setup it cant find my printer21:14
anonso ive been wandering around online and read that i should do hp-check -t21:14
anonwhich i did and it is told me to run some commands to install some packages21:14
anonso i did that21:15
anonand when i try to run the packages it tells me there is an error with ecryptfs-utils21:15
anonwhich i gather is the disk encryption tool21:15
anonim running 10.0421:15
anonwhat is the general opinion?21:16
anonive been thinking i should just get the new ubuntu but i dunno if that will make any real difference21:17
anonnlsthzn: do you know whats up?21:18
nlsthznanon: in my experience HP printers normally work right of the bat without any intervention needed...21:19
nlsthznbut it has been a while since I used 10.0421:19
nlsthznwhat make and model is the printer?21:20
anonyeah i think maybe ill just upgrade and while im at it disable the encryption then hope for the best21:20
nlsthznnot ideal if you don't know if it will fix the issue...21:21
Unit193https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrintersHp21:21
anonyes i know21:21
anonok i will check this21:21
nlsthznthanks for the link Unit19321:21
Unit193Not sure how complete it is, but that and hplip should help21:22
anonim positive it is somekind of conflict between the hplip packages and ecryptfs21:22
anoni don't know if it is a bug or i have this setup in a strange way or what21:22
anonI had 11.04 a while back on a different laptop and it was printing ok21:25
anoni know that hplip supports this printer21:25
escottanon, very unlikely that hplip would affect ecryptfs22:12
E3D3After updating from 10.04 to 12.04 Beta my pc froze/locked. Also after updating to the latest version 2 days ago. Where/how do I start trying to solve this ?22:28
FyodorovnaE3D3, so are you backed up on the 10.04 before the upgrade?22:29
Fyodorovnapreferably a clone really22:30
E3D3No, only personal data & most important configs22:31
FyodorovnaE3D3, so where are you at now does it boot, a little more of this info helps.22:31
Fyodorovnait is easier if we know what freeze and locked means at this point22:34
E3D3I'm now running Crunchbang. Ubuntu boots very slow but okay. After some time using it freezes. I waited for the finished 12.04 release and hoped an update would repair the problem.22:34
FyodorovnaE3D3, have you from a recovery cli run a update & upgrade? Or used the fix packages o[ption in the recovery gui?22:35
E3D3The only thing that seems to respond is the mouse, the cursor moves but I can't click and nothing responds.22:35
E3D3I know nothing about a recovery cli. I can't open shell or other stuff so I wait and finally reboot with the power-button.22:37
FyodorovnaE3D3, in the grub menu the second kernel stanza is a recovery boot this takes you to a gui with choices.22:39
E3D3Haha, after all those years ignoring those lines did I forgot it. Sorry.22:39
E3D3I never used it, only remove it sometimes from Grub-menu's. I'll read about it and/or try that. Sorry again.22:41
E3D3Bye and thanks.22:43
FyodorovnaE3D3, no problem hard to say whether this will fix it but where I would probably start if me. This lts upgrade from what I have read is intended for the 12.04.1 in I think 30 days afer release.22:45
FyodorovnaI did upgrade a 11.10 with only one apparent problem, runs a little strange at times though.22:46
beachbuddahHi folks, I'm having trouble when I close the lid on my laptop and reopen it, it can't reconnect to my wireless connection22:47

E3D3How do you get to the menu with only keys in U12.04?23:27
=== JackyAlcine is now known as jacky
=== jalcine is now known as jacky
E3D3Okay, super (im)press(ive) shows Super-A = apps, trial & error instead of docs learned that arrow-keys are fastest. If my system don't freeze than I'm done here. Bye & good luck23:40
