| David-A | fusk: /home/NAME (in your case /home/fusk ?) is your home folder. | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| David-A | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1839927 says "to install new fonts simply create a folder in your home called .fonts and copy .ttf files inside it." | 00:02 |
| fusk | Yeah, needed to ctrl+h, now it works | 00:03 |
| genii-around | Rebuilding the font cache after helps too | 00:03 |
| fusk | true | 00:04 |
| fusk | sudo fc-cache -f | 00:04 |
| fusk | should do it | 00:04 |
| David-A | fusk: (there seems to be a prog called font-viewer in ubuntu, not in xubuntu, if you find what package it is in you can install it in xubuntu too, then assign .ttf files to be opened by that.) | 00:05 |
| fusk | ahh | 00:05 |
| fusk | think it's this http://ubuntu-snippets.blogspot.dk/2008/05/font-viewermanager-for-ubuntu.html | 00:13 |
| David-A | fusk: (that page is heavily censored for me (requires javascript), can't see nothing, but if helps you, good) | 00:17 |
| David-A | fusk: (on a related topic) you can install packages gnome-specimen and/or fontmatrix to take closer looks on installed fonts. | 00:19 |
| fusk | maybe this works for you http://www.getdeb.net/welcome/ | 00:19 |
| fusk | how come you don't have javascript ? | 00:20 |
| David-A | fusk: I finally looked at that javascriptburden page via google cache. It's old, fontmatrix is in the repositories. (Never download anytning from the internet) :) | 00:23 |
| fusk | :) | 00:24 |
| David-A | fusk: (how come no javascript) few years ago, pentiumIII, better performance, then security and privacy. NoScript also blocks flash and java, tools with wich sites can see me on my camera, hear me on my microphone, see my bank numbers and p0rn urls in my clipboard, etc. Hence, have never visited facebook. They dont WANT me. Companies that only have web precense in facebook don't WANT me either, so I don't want them. | 00:28 |
| fusk | hehe | 00:32 |
| David-A | are you serious about your own security and privacy? | 00:32 |
| fusk | Not really | 00:33 |
| fusk | only thing i'm carefull with is my dropbox and email. | 00:34 |
| fusk | I don't really care if facebook knows what colour underwear i got on this morning, or if my ass shows on google streetview. | 00:37 |
| David-A | Oh, you can be so happy, envy you | 00:38 |
| fusk | Well, i don't see i should bother. Whatever facebook knows about me does not affect me in any way. or google for that matter. | 00:41 |
| fusk | My bank account can't be hacked (if it did i won't be liable for any loss), my wifi is secure, i got my firewall & antivirus & my adblocker. | 00:44 |
| fusk | I think that's good enough. | 00:44 |

| xubuntu039 | swithcing from crunchbang to xubuntu | 13:20 |
| LordRaptor | hey guys, is someone here? | 15:44 |
| LordRaptor | hey guys . sry kinda new to IRC, didnt used it for like 3 years | 15:49 |
| baizon | LordRaptor: there is always someone here :) | 15:49 |
| LordRaptor | ah ^^ cool :D | 15:49 |
| LordRaptor | so, im gonna start with my question. | 15:49 |
| LordRaptor | my grandma ist 73 years old. tbh, SHAME on me, i dont know her exact age. she never used a computer before, but she can use a typewriter really good (i think so, she worked in a bookkeeping) | 15:51 |
| LordRaptor | My mum has a like 3 years old notebook and she doesnt need it anymore, and my grandma wants to write a diary. she has leukemia , so we dont know how long she'll live on. I hope as long as possible, w/o pain. | 15:52 |
| LordRaptor | what i need is an easy OS for her. She only needs Firefox and a textwriter. I use windows (shame on me), but i alrdy used kubunto a few years ago. I thought about xubuntu. I wanna ask: Is this an good idea? and is it easy to set up a remote acces? because, that would be great, I live 2h by train away from my grandma. Thas not the probleme, but if its only a lil thing to fix on the computer, a remote acces would be great | 15:55 |
| pleia2 | describing the people doesn't really help a lot with answering this, all people are different and the best advice I can really give is "try it" | 15:56 |
| === TheDrums is now known as Guest88176 | ||
| pleia2 | same goes for remote access, there are several tools out there that do it, I'd suggest trying out some of them to see what is easy for you (I havent a clue as to what is good when coming from a windows host) | 15:57 |
| SkippersBoss | xubuntu is a pleasant flavor to work with. | 15:57 |
| LordRaptor | ok. but it is not an almost impossible thing with the remote acces, rite? i only used TeamVierwer so far. | 15:58 |
| pleia2 | nope, there are lots of tools that do it | 15:58 |
| SkippersBoss | I am not an expert on remote expert but there are usually plenty in this channel who can help you | 15:58 |
| pleia2 | (pretty sure even teamviewer works) | 15:59 |
| LordRaptor | k, so i'll just google it ;) ty for the help, really great. i think i should put linux on my NB, too. another question: someone knows if ASIO is supported? or something equal. I use an Audio Interface. | 15:59 |
| SkippersBoss | LordRaptor, anything you are trying to ahive has usually been done by someone else. Google and/#xubuntu are your friends :-) | 16:00 |
| starn | i'm having issues setting my defualt monitor to the one that is on the right.. using nvidia settins and recomminded drivers. | 16:01 |
| LordRaptor | ok ;) just wanted to ask if someone knows about big problems^^ | 16:01 |
| starn | oh and apparently it will not allow me to drag windows to the other monitor either. | 16:02 |
| LordRaptor | ubuntu / xubuntu was great when i used it. linux is not a backyard OS. | 16:02 |
| starn | nevermind i remember now i did something wrong. | 16:03 |
| SkippersBoss | is still great. as long as you set it up for the things you (your grandma) needs it to work for | 16:03 |
| LordRaptor | yeah, im sure i can do that, i know how to use a computer, more than many others in my school. and im pretty sure, xubuntu is a great choice for that,, TY all ;) cya soon ! | 16:04 |

| qwitwa | Hey guys, Installed via xubuntu-desktop. | 17:41 |
| qwitwa | Trying to set nautilus as default file manager. | 17:41 |
| qwitwa | exo-preferred-applications shows nautilus, but whenever I click on a folder on the desktop, thunar opens it. | 17:42 |
| qwitwa | Tried tweaking defaults.list in /usr/share/applications | 17:43 |
| qwitwa | by adding inode/directory=nautilus.desktop x-directory/normal=nautilus.desktop at the end | 17:44 |
| qwitwa | But still no luck. | 17:44 |
| qwitwa | Any help (I don't really know what I'm doing here) ? | 17:44 |
| pleia2 | qwitwa: Settings > Settings Manager > Preferred Applications and the "Utilities" tab | 17:47 |
| pleia2 | what does it say there? | 17:47 |
| qwitwa | nautilus, sorry for the delay. | 17:57 |
| moetunes | nautilus normally takes over the desktop when it runs so being able to click icons on the desktop suggests it doesn't run | 17:59 |
| moetunes | try starting it from a terminal | 17:59 |
| qwitwa | Runs with this message: | 18:00 |
| qwitwa | "Initializing nautilus-gdu extension Nautilus-Share-Message: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error No such file or directory Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing. " | 18:00 |
| moetunes | there you go - it fails to start | 18:00 |
| qwitwa | Except nautilus did start | 18:01 |
| qwitwa | A window popped up, although I noted earlier that it isn't in the same directory as the terminal. | 18:01 |
| moetunes | ok. what happened to the desktop icons and what happens when you open a folder in nautilus? | 18:02 |
| qwitwa | It always opens in the home folder. | 18:02 |
| qwitwa | Nothing. | 18:02 |
| qwitwa | The desktop icons are (I think) the same, and when I click them it opens in thunar. | 18:03 |
| qwitwa | I'll have a look to see if the icons change. | 18:03 |
| qwitwa | They don't. | 18:04 |
| qwitwa | I can't figure out how to open a specific folder in nautilus | 18:06 |
| qwitwa | (it doesn't appear in the xubuntu main menu, and hence the contextual applications menu - that only lists "File Manager" in accessories) | 18:07 |
| moetunes | you can add a path to the nautilus command e.g. nautilus /home/you | 18:07 |
| qwitwa | Okay, that works. | 18:09 |
| qwitwa | The desktop doesn't change or anything. | 18:10 |
| moetunes | normally you'd have to use nautilus --no-desktop to keep the xfce icons on the desktop so sumthins' up | 18:11 |
| qwitwa | Oh well. I guess it's probably not worth the effort since this isn't particularly critical. | 18:12 |
| moetunes | I'd just use thunar - it does most things well | 18:12 |
| qwitwa | As I mentioned before, this is on Ubuntu 12.04, with xubuntu desktop installed via "xubuntu-desktop" . | 18:13 |
| qwitwa | Yeah, I'll leave it. | 18:13 |
| qwitwa | Cheers for the help anyhow. | 18:13 |
| moetunes | it shouldn't matter how you arrived at using xubuntu | 18:13 |
| moetunes | cheers | 18:13 |
| n2diy | what command would I use to play a .wav file from the terminal? | 18:18 |
| aquix | gor a cron job? | 18:28 |
| aquix | *for | 18:28 |
| moetunes | n2diy: aplay plays wave files so aplay /path/to file.wav | 18:30 |
| n2diy | moetunes, yes, I just confirmed that. That's a cool little addition to the xfce-timer plugin. | 18:32 |
| moetunes | the command 'at' works well for reminders/alarms too | 18:32 |
| aquix | if your using cron and want a gui to pop up the command is * * * * * DISPLAY=:0.0 MEDIAPLAYER /path/to/file.wav | 18:35 |
| n2diy | I'll have to play with at and cron, xfce4-timer only handles one alarm at a time, though I might be able to work around that with kalarm? | 18:38 |
| aquix | kalarm is a kde app so you get all the dependencies down with it. With cron you can have as many alarms you like doing any command that you can do in the terminal.. | 18:47 |
| aquix | very usefull for other stuff too, like updates, running scripts | 18:47 |
| xubuntu300 | hi all | 20:23 |
| xubuntu300 | xubuntu installed!! | 20:24 |
| aquix | congratulations :) | 20:29 |
| Barnabas | :-) | 20:37 |
| fusk | How do i delete etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules ? | 21:17 |
| Barnabas | sudo rm etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules | 21:24 |
| Barnabas | but do you want to? | 21:24 |
| fusk | i do | 21:24 |
| Barnabas | ok | 21:24 |
| Barnabas | perhaps sudo rm /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules | 21:25 |
| Barnabas | leading slash | 21:25 |
| fusk | ah | 21:25 |
| fusk | superb | 21:25 |
| GridCube | everytime i see "sudo rm" my eyes twitch a little | 21:26 |
| fusk | Should probarbly see a doctor about that. | 21:27 |
| Barnabas | I asked :-) | 21:28 |
| GridCube | or people should stop recommending using sudo rm | 21:28 |
| Barnabas | well sudo bash will do too | 21:28 |
| genii-around | sudo -i | 21:28 |
| Unit193 | sudo -i, rather. | 21:28 |
| Unit193 | Bah.. | 21:28 |
| genii-around | then: exit when done | 21:28 |
| fusk | doesn't really matter imo, it worked, and don't know the difference. | 21:28 |
| GridCube | i would go with sudo mc and use f8 knowing exactly what im deleting | 21:29 |
| genii-around | midnight commander *is* good | 21:29 |
| GridCube | it reaaally freaks me out using rm | 21:29 |
| Barnabas | GridCube, rm is pretty reliable | 21:29 |
| fusk | why wouldn't it be ? | 21:29 |
| Barnabas | indeed | 21:29 |
| GridCube | my own mistakes, and knowing how irc's work, recommending rm to people on irc usually leads to further troubles | 21:30 |
| GridCube | (in any case this is ot stuff so ill shut up) | 21:31 |
| Barnabas | GridCube, I generally agree, but if you ask ppl "do you really want too?" | 21:32 |
| Barnabas | you cannot help further | 21:32 |
| Barnabas | any command will follow sudo .. | 21:32 |
| Barnabas | even firefox .. | 21:32 |
| * Barnabas advises against that | 21:33 | |
| GridCube | sudo is not the problem, sudo is fine, sudo and then delete... well... thats a scary though on unexperienced hands | 21:33 |
| Barnabas | sudo firefox scares me more | 21:34 |
| GridCube | :P | 21:35 |
| Barnabas | just imagine what a creative web page could do to your system .. | 21:35 |
| fusk | well, now i have to test it, and see if it works. | 21:35 |
| Barnabas | godspeed | 21:35 |
| fusk | :) | 21:36 |
| Barnabas | rm as root is cool | 21:39 |
| Barnabas | used it to obliterate /usr/local/bin on my freebsd day before last | 21:39 |
| Barnabas | still compiling now .. | 21:39 |
| Barnabas | non important media serv .. | 21:40 |
| Barnabas | arh well actuall more a make script gone haywire .. | 21:42 |
| Barnabas | but same effect | 21:42 |
