[00:24] <iToast> WHY IS #xubuntu always dead -_-"
[00:25] <wxl> iToast: not having been there in about 50,000 hears, no idea XD
[00:25] <iToast> lol
[00:25] <wxl> uh s/hears/years/
[00:25] <iToast> Look what I just got

 iToast, and? it doesn't warrant being impatient
[00:26] <wxl> again, i can't offer you help with other people, though perhaps i could refer you to your local buddhist temple or something. :)

[00:27] <iToast> I'm downloading lubuntu.
[00:27] <wxl> you go girl
[00:27] <wxl> but
[00:27] <wxl> not for the xbmc right?
[00:27] <iToast> im a guy
[00:27] <iToast> >:o
[00:27] <iToast> wxl, for xbmc
[00:27] <wxl> i didn't mean to imply that you weren't but trying to use a colloquialism
[00:27] <wxl> nevermind
[00:27] <wxl> anywho
 oh, someone already did that :P
 iToast: should be pretty simple, add xbmc to startup applications and turn on auto login
[00:27] <wxl> i'm still not convinced xbmc NEEDS x
[00:27] <iToast> it does
[00:27] <wxl> ok, i believe you
[00:28] <iToast> "could not connect to x serv"...
[00:28] <wxl> then i would suggest doing the mini install
[00:28] <iToast> I had xorg installed with lightdm
[00:28] <wxl> just install lubuntu-core
[00:28] <wxl> you won't get all the extra apps and crap
[00:28] <iToast> I have to wait for lubuntu to download
[00:28] <iToast> so for now im trying xubuntu
[00:31] <iToast> Hopefully I wont have to jump to lubuntu (no offence)
[00:31] <iToast> because I really dont want to sue all my dvds...
[00:31] <iToast> This machine claims to have USB booting but I doubt it...
[00:31] <wxl> you need dvdrws
[00:31] <iToast> no.
[00:31] <iToast> I gave RW's a try, they are the devils child.
[00:31] <wxl> :)
[00:31] <iToast> I burned some dvds with DO NOT FINALIZE ON!
[00:31] <iToast> WHat happened?
[00:31] <iToast> Didnt say it but
[00:32] <iToast> "Finalizing"
[00:32] <iToast> Go to erase, "Can not erase finalized disk".
[00:32] <iToast>  That developer oves me $5.
[00:32] <iToast> >:C
[00:32] <iToast> My comment about how it scerwed me out of a rw disk got removed from the blog
[00:32] <iToast> His software got replaced with infrarecorder.
[00:41] <bioterror> wxl, xbmc can be run as "wm"
[00:41] <bioterror> so it does need X11, but it doesnt need a WM
[05:06] <foolinsd> evening
[05:07] <foolinsd> curious if anyone has seen issue with quantal after updating last night.  i'm now getting a black screen after the splash screen. kernel 3.5.0-15
[05:08] <foolinsd> i can boot to console, but not sure what to do next
[05:08] <foolinsd> i ran fsck and all the drives appear fine.
[05:12] <bioterror> foolinsd, from console: sudo service lightdm start
[05:22] <foolinsd> okay let me try
[05:28] <foolinsd> bioterror, i just get a flashing _ at the upper left corner of the screen
[05:30] <foolinsd> i'm going to try running apt-get update/upgrade via console
[05:31] <foolinsd> pls post any suggestions, i'll try them after the the update.  be back in 15m
[05:40] <foolinsd> bioterror, btw after starting lightdm, i can switch back to vt1 via ctrl+alt+F1
[05:48] <bioterror> that's good
[05:49] <bioterror> what if you instead of starting lxdm
[05:49] <bioterror> you say
[05:49] <bioterror> wait a sec
[05:50] <bioterror> xinit /usr/bin/startlubuntu
[05:50] <bioterror> if I remember right
[05:50] <bioterror> which startlubuntu
[05:50] <bioterror> if it wasnt correct
[05:51] <bioterror> I was away becouse I took my daughter to a day care club or something
[05:51] <bioterror> as a true hipster, I locked her bike to light pole with u-luck as she had lost her key during our move to new flat
[05:54] <foolinsd> okay will give that atry
[06:08] <foolinsd> sign looks like updating hosed the dpkg datebase
[06:08] <foolinsd> i'm booting to a "callback trace"
[06:08] <foolinsd> looks like a dump
[06:08] <foolinsd> will try reinstalling quantal
[06:08] <foolinsd> thanks for your suggestions bioterror
[06:14] <bioterror> reinstalling is cheating with the developement releases!
[06:19] <foolinsd> smack head
[06:19] <foolinsd> i'm open to suggestions
[06:26] <foolinsd> bioterror, i tried xinit /usr/bin/startlubuntu
[06:26] <foolinsd> it gave a fatal server error
[06:26] <foolinsd> no screen found
[08:44] <bzb> I'm trying to modify things so that when I click on an audio/video file, the console version of mplayer will be invoked to open the file instead of the gnome-mplayer.
[08:44] <bzb> The problem is that when an audio/video file contains spaces or non-english characters, the console mplayer just closes and does nothing.
[08:44] <bzb> More details at http://pastebin.com/TQxanMUC
[08:47] <bzb> I don't know if this problem also applies to ubuntu?
[08:51] <bioterror> hmmm
[08:51] <bioterror> when press mouse button #2 on a video file
[08:51] <bioterror> and you choose properties
[08:52] <bioterror> you should be able to change gnome-mplayer to just plain mplayer
[08:53] <bioterror> http://ricecows.org/mplayer.desktop that's how my mplayer.desktop looks like
[09:01] <silverarrow> is there a way for the F12 button to work as it should? it should eject cd on this laptop
[09:01] <silverarrow> are you talking to your self bioterror ?
[09:02] <bioterror> silverarrow, you can bind it to eject if youw ant
[09:02] <bioterror> bind F12 with "eject" command
[09:02] <silverarrow> great,
[09:02] <silverarrow> I just need to figure out how
[09:02] <bzb> bioterror: i changed my mplayer parameter from %U to %F and it works.  Thanks
[09:03] <bioterror> bzb, you're welcome
[09:03] <silverarrow> I have this odd issue with brassero, it will not eject cd after iso burn
[09:03] <bioterror> another satisfied customer!
[09:04] <silverarrow> it`s nice when things work
[09:04] <silverarrow> ;-)
[09:04] <bioterror> silverarrow, I've mostly used "xfburn"
[09:04] <silverarrow> diskutility or reboot is the only thing that allows to eject cd
[09:04] <silverarrow> xfburn crashes instantly here
[09:05] <silverarrow> luckily brassero behaves
[09:36] <silverarrow> at the moment F12 does the same as a double finger click
[09:36] <silverarrow> it should eject cd
[13:51] <leszek> hi
[13:54] <bioterror> howdy
[13:58] <silverarrow> hi
[13:59] <silverarrow> do you know how to set up F12 function on an iBook ?
[13:59] <silverarrow> it should eject cd/dvd
[13:59] <bioterror> and the command eject does not work?
[14:00] <silverarrow> I haven`t tired it from terminal
[14:00]  * silverarrow launches terminal
[14:00]  * bioterror rolls eyes
[14:00] <silverarrow> sorry lol
[14:01] <silverarrow> it ejects
[14:01] <bioterror> Fri12:02 <bioterror> silverarrow, you can bind it to eject if youw ant
[14:01] <bioterror> Fri12:02 <bioterror> bind F12 with "eject" command
[14:01] <bioterror> I said that 5 hours ago
[14:01] <bioterror> exactly 5 hours
[14:01] <silverarrow> I use eject from disk utility, but a bit cumbersome
[14:02] <bioterror> ? :D
[14:03] <bioterror> hmmm
[14:03] <silverarrow> yeah, after burning iso in brasero regualar eject from file manager doesn`t work
[14:03] <bioterror> it ejects
[14:03] <silverarrow> but I never thought of using the command in terminal
[14:04] <silverarrow> no, there is an eject function in brasero, but it sort of locks up
[14:04] <bioterror> probably
[14:04] <bioterror> but now my Openbox ejects from F12
[14:05] <silverarrow> and cd does not show in filemanager either then
[14:05] <bioterror> I could bind alt+f12 to close the tray
[14:05] <silverarrow> cool
[14:05] <silverarrow> on the ibook keyboard that is the reguala cd eject function
[14:06] <bioterror> in OS X
[14:06] <silverarrow> true
[14:06] <silverarrow> and keyboard icon
[14:06] <bioterror> I've owned a mac
[14:06] <silverarrow> it is nice to set it up to work,
[14:07] <silverarrow> yeah, macbook pros still are like that
[14:08] <silverarrow> cd/dvd insert is only a slim slot, and not a case to open
[14:08] <silverarrow> even on the old ppc
[14:09] <bioterror> my super drive was a regular DVD-RW ;)
[14:10] <silverarrow> rw functions are dvd rom specific or software run?
[15:31] <JohnDoe_71Rus> hi
[15:32] <silverarrow> hi
[15:32] <JohnDoe_71Rus> Howto use bluetooth headset ?
[15:34] <silverarrow> hmm, you might have to activate buletooth
[15:34] <silverarrow> let me check
[15:35] <silverarrow> I think it should be there by default
[15:36] <JohnDoe_71Rus> ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)    BT-503 headset
[15:36] <silverarrow> it doesn`t detect at all?
[15:36] <JohnDoe_71Rus> device paired
[15:36] <silverarrow> a usb unit ?
[15:37] <JohnDoe_71Rus> audiosinc is enabled. i hear ssound beep
[15:37] <silverarrow> I think the manager is called blueman
[15:37] <JohnDoe_71Rus> but can't moved sound to headset
[15:38] <silverarrow> I don`t have bluetooth on my lubuntu laptop unfortunately
[15:39] <silverarrow> stick around I`m sure someone can help
[15:39] <JohnDoe_71Rus> http://postimage.org/image/gzexlbzb5/
[15:39] <silverarrow> you could also try ubuntu channel if activity is slow here
[15:40] <silverarrow> yes there it is
[15:40] <JohnDoe_71Rus> in ubuntu it must work with pulseaudio. ilubuntu does not  pulse
[15:40] <silverarrow> I actually have a buletooth device some where
[15:41] <silverarrow> settings in alsamixer should not affect bluetooth ?
[15:41] <silverarrow> but it is contact with headset which is main issue
[15:43] <silverarrow> found my bluetooth device
[15:43] <silverarrow> light blinking
[15:44] <silverarrow> nothing happens
[15:46] <silverarrow> blueman does not launch from terminal either
[15:46] <silverarrow> JohnDoe_71Rus, did you install blueman manually?
[15:46] <JohnDoe_71Rus> lubuntu12.04 i start from menu
[15:46] <silverarrow> it should be there by default I think
[15:47] <silverarrow> I`m on 12.04 too
[15:47] <silverarrow> maybe some ppc weirdness
[15:47] <silverarrow> I`m on an old iBook
[15:50] <silverarrow> sorry, I`m no help to you
[15:50] <JohnDoe_71Rus> may be some one
[20:27] <silverarrow> is there a way for me to check  which graphics drivers I have in 12.04?

[20:44] <kanliot> i'm using screen or tmux, why can't i scrollback with shift+pageup?  because it's not a terminal?
[20:44] <holstein> kanliot: i can in screen, with just page-up
[20:45] <kanliot> here it just flashes screen
[20:46] <kanliot> er flashes the terminal window
[20:46] <holstein> kanliot: can you do it without screen?
[20:47] <kanliot> ya
[20:47] <kanliot> shift+pageup
[20:48] <holstein> kanliot: why shift?
[20:48] <kanliot> is there another way?
[20:48] <kanliot> control+b then [
[20:49] <kanliot> in screen
[20:49] <holstein> kanliot: i just use page up in irssi.. i guess it depends on what you are trying to scroll on
[20:54] <holstein> kanliot: i cant get that to "pass through" to screen either
[20:55] <holstein> http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2008/01/how-to-scroll-in-gnu-screen/ has a work-around
