ruiengood night00:00
Psil0CybinHey guys02:09
keithclarkHow do I start the program transmission via the comman line?  I'm trying to run this via an x session over ssh04:12
rosemballkeithclark, transmission-gtk works for me04:15
rosemballmaybe transmission-qt for you04:15
ruiena bit off topic, but if you need a good headless client, might want to look into 'aria2'04:17
keithclarkrosemball, transmission-gtk works great here!  Thanks.04:18
rosemballyou are welcome04:19
keithclarkMy headless server is massive compared to my little netbook and I want to be able to access that machine for doing torrent downloads04:19
keithclarkI've installed xubuntu on it and accessing x sessions via ssh is working wonderfully.04:20
keithclarkWell,, I've installed Proxmox first, then a ubuntu 13.04 server, then xubuntu and it all ties together just fine!  Lots of fun.04:21
rosemballnice04:26
bazhangfor the cli? use rtorrent04:26
keithclarkbazhang, yeah, I've used rtorrent in the past.  transmission is just so easy.04:27
bazhangkeithclark, why would you want to start transmission from the command line04:28
keithclarkbazhang, netbook connected via ssh to a headless server04:28
bazhang!find transmission04:28
ubottuFound: transmission-cli, transmission-common, transmission-daemon, transmission-dbg, transmission-gtk04:28
bazhangkeithclark, ^04:28
keithclarkYup, already have the answer via rosemball.04:29
bazhangtransmission-cli , not -qt04:29
keithclarktransmission-gtk04:29
bazhangthats with a gui04:30
keithclarkYes, what I wanted.  Maybe you missed something?04:30
bazhangheadless server?04:30
rosemballkeithclark, you may also try to use the remote management mode, where you use your browser to work with transmission04:31
bazhangrtorrent is really the choice here04:31
keithclarkYes, I have a netbook accessing a headless server. I wanted to access transmission  gui via ssh.04:31
bazhangmuch easier than transmission in every respect04:31
keithclarkrosemball, that is a great idea, researching now.04:31
keithclarkbazhang, I will look at rtorrent again.  It has been a long time.04:32
keithclarkI have this quad core server with 16 GB of RAM and a RAID 5 setup that I want to be able to use with my netbooks in the house.  My netbooks are old machines with only 1 GB RAM on them.  Running programs via ssh X sessions is so much faster than local|!04:37
keithclarkJust experimenting I guess04:38
rosemballI wanted to do something like this, more like thin clients04:38
keithclarkExactly04:39
keithclarkIt seems to be working here.  xubuntu desktop installed on the server and running remote ssh sessions.04:39
rosemballwhat about bandwidth overheard?04:40
keithclarkSeems fine on my lan here.04:40
keithclarkI've not tried it remotely yet though.04:40
rosemballnice04:40
keithclarkIt seems to be.  I'm still learning though.  We got this server for just $70 CDN04:41
rosemballbig deal :)04:41
keithclarkI just want to be able to use it.  I think this setup could support 4-5 netbooks in a thin client setup.  Easily04:42
Soe1enhello people, I have a problem with my microphone!08:13
Soe1enturns out I can record audio with audacity, but on skype the microphone seems not to work08:13
Soe1enI fear something is missconfigured between alsa and pulseaudio, could somebody help me?08:14
Unit193http://askubuntu.com/questions/96367/how-can-i-get-line-in-microphone-working-with-skype-on-lubuntu-11-10 something like that?08:17
Soe1enlet me take a look08:20
Soe1enkinda, he rather had an issue with his usb micro08:22
Soe1enmine is an internal micro, therefore alsomixer looks a bit different on my side, there are no aux, analog source, digital source etc channels08:23
TheSheep!skype08:23
ubot93To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga08:23
TheSheephmm08:23
TheSheepthat page has a 'troubleshooting' section08:23
Soe1enthe thing is I don't even get anything at pulse audio control,  not only skype08:27
Soe1enas for audacity it seems like I can access directly to alsa08:27
Soe1enwhich is why I believe pulseaudio might be missconfigured, not skype08:27
Soe1enthe troudbleshooting section did not do the trick btw08:28
TheSheepor maybe something is hogging the mike from alsa and not letting pulseaudio use it08:28
TheSheepthat's why you shouldn't use alsa directly08:28
Soe1enit's not like I could access pulseaudio directly with audacity08:29
TheSheepthere is no plugin?08:29
Soe1enas far as I can see I can only choose alsa08:29
TheSheepwell, try closing audacity and see if that frees it for pa08:30
Soe1enwell sometimes it's freezing08:33
Unit193You can also try the troubleshooting section on the pulse wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio08:34
Soe1enand no I always close audacity after a quick test08:34
Soe1enah great, now it08:39
Soe1ens not even working on audacity haha08:39
bazhangubot93, lag08:44
ubot93You have lag, I don't have lag08:44
bazhanghokay08:44
Soe1ennope, article was not helpful at all08:49
Soe1enmhhh, maybe there is a pulseaudio channel here on freenode08:50

MonkeytoeWhat is the fastest remote desktop software for a lan? Server would be debian 7 and client would be xubuntu 13.04. Is there anything out there that can handle 1920x1200 @ 60fps?16:26
bekksLOL, no.16:27
bekksYour network is too slow for that.16:27
MonkeytoeI have a 10 gigabit connection between the two computers16:27
Monkeytoerunning two intel x540-t1's with a crossover cable between the two computers16:29
Monkeytoeas I understand it a single link dvi which is capable of 1920x1200 @ 60fps is 3.96 Gb/s.... Its why I purchased the two 10 Gigabit cards so I should be fine as far as network connection.16:33
Monkeytoe3.96 Gb/s is the spec on single link dvi that is16:33
TheSheepMonkeytoe: I don't think your graphics card can handle receiving that many pixels per second16:33
TheSheepnot to mention other parts16:34
bekksNeither your graphics card can do that, nor your PCI bus. And basically it is nonsense.16:34
bekksWhat is your main goal? Gaming over RDP?16:34
MonkeytoeYes16:34
bekksROFLMAO16:35
bekksGood luck, waste other peoples time please :)16:35
MonkeytoeI fail to see how the PCI bus is not capable of 3.96 gigabits/s16:36
Monkeytoethe network card is running on x8 pcie 2.116:37
Monkeytoethe graphics cards are amd 7950's16:37
bekksAll you have to do is implement an RDP protocol that is capable of 1920x1200@60.16:37
bekksIf you are done, call us again :)16:37
Monkeytoeso now its a software limitation? you just got through saying its a hardware limitation16:38
Monkeytoerather rudely I might add16:38
bekksIt is a combination of hardware and software limitations.16:39
bekksAfter fixing your hardware, only the missing software is left.16:39
xubuntu747Hola alguien que hable español que me pueda ayudar con un problema que tengo con xubuntu16:42
bekks!es | xubuntu74716:42
ubottuxubuntu747: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro.16:42
TheSheepMonkeytoe: there are several limitations in there, mostly because nobody seems to have such needs16:48
TheSheepMonkeytoe: you are the first, you can try experimenting and something may actually work, but don't expect anyone with experience with something like this16:49
Monkeytoeim wondering if a dvi over IP adapter would be better16:49
MonkeytoeI already use synergy to share keyboard/mouse between the two computers16:49
TheSheepwhy does it have to be ip?16:50
Monkeytoedoesnt have to be16:50
Monkeytoejust need to get the video stream from that computer to this one in a window16:51
TheSheepa long video cable sounds more reliable and cheaper16:51

Pwnnastock ubuntu has a wacom tablet settings thing17:13
Pwnnadoes XFCE have this? or can i install a package?17:13
Pwnnakde-config-tablet ?17:14
baizonPwnna: http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/mouse17:16
Pwnnabaizon: but that doesn't have a lot of settings17:18
Pwnnai need dual screen support, and so forth17:18
baizonPwnna: http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/Wacom+Control+Panel?content=10430917:19
Pwnnai'm pretty sure that one is outdated17:20
Pwnnai have no problem using xinput, but i think it's breaking my right click on my trackpoint17:20
Pwnna(thinkpad)17:20
TheSheepPwnna: unfortunately no17:26
TheSheepPwnna: you can try gpointing-device-settings17:26
Pwnnaeh it's okay17:27
Pwnnai think my right click problem might be a hardware issue17:27
Pwnnait occasionally works. xev is not even detecting sometimes..17:27
TheSheepPwnna: but there is nothing for wacom tablets specifically, I just have a script that sets everything up with xsetwacin'17:27

Pwnnashould create a widget for this for xfce17:28
Pwnnaso i can switch between screens17:28
PwnnaTheSheep: i want a way to like.. restrict the pen movement17:29
TheSheepjust bind it to a key17:29
Pwnnato a portion of the screen. that i select..17:29
TheSheepyou can set the mode to 'window'17:29
Pwnnahow?17:29
TheSheepgpointing-device-settings17:30
Pwnnacan i do it via xinput?17:30
TheSheepah, no, sorry17:30
Pwnnawell there's gotta be a way to do it via command line?17:31
TheSheepit's in the "mouse & touchpad" settings in xubuntu settings17:31
TheSheepyou can also set it up in gimp, inkscape or mypaint individually17:31
TheSheepyeah, it's called "mode" and it can be "screen" or "window"17:32
TheSheepor "absolute" and "relative"17:32
Pwnnarelative is bs17:32
Pwnnadoesn't work well17:32
TheSheepyeah, that's for mice17:32

snuggyfooHi, i'm running xfce on a chromebook (ARM arch). I am able to do "sudo apt-get install ..." but cannot do "sudo apt" or "sudo add-apt-repository...."18:32
snuggyfooIt returns command not found.18:32
snuggyfooDoes anyone know what has gone wrong?18:32
TheSheepthere is not command 'apt'18:33
TheSheepand add-apt-repository is just a convenience script18:33
snuggyfoook, I wasn't sure about that one, but I am about "add-apt-repository..."18:33
snuggyfoohmmm18:33
TheSheepyou can just add stuff to your sources list manually, as described on launchpad18:33
TheSheepin the ppa18:34
brainwash_add-apt-repository is provided by the package "software-properties-common"18:34
snuggyfoois that in /etc/apt/sources.list?18:34
snuggyfoocool!18:35
snuggyfooI'll try that.18:35
snuggyfooThank you both.18:35
snuggyfooinstalling that packaged worked18:36
snuggyfoopackage*18:36
brainwash_:)18:36
David-Asnuggyfoo: to add repository there is also System>SoftwareSources>OtherSoftware>Add19:12
snuggyfooDavid-A I think I'm missing that. I don't see SoftwareSources under the System menu.19:15
snuggyfooI think a lot of things are missing in this Crouton installed version19:15
snuggyfooI can't get libreoffice to open. It says it's missing the shared libraries: liblpsolve55.so19:16
snuggyfooNevermind, installing libreoffice-calc fixed that.19:19
David-Asnuggyfoo: Software Sources dialog is also available from inside Synaptic Package Manager, Settings>Repositories19:22
nantouis there any image viewer that shows images recursively? I mean I have a pictures folder and inside several subdirectories. I dont want to sort em by date or place, but just by the folder name, and I want to see em all recursively, not separated by subdirectory, as gthumb does20:18
David-Anantou: if you start gthumb with a list of filenames as its arguments, then, in image view, previous/next will show the images in the order specified, wherever dir they are.20:37
David-Anantou: e.g. gthumb *.jpg nature/*.jpg popstars/*.jpg20:38
nantouDavid-A, how do I do that? step by step instructions please20:48
knome23:38  David-A: nantou: e.g. gthumb *.jpg nature/*.jpg popstars/*.jpg20:48
nantoudo I then have to start it from the terminal?20:49
David-Anantou: initially to test it, yes. but you can make a script and start it with a launcher on the panel or as a custom command in thunar.20:50
nantouDavid-A, i dont see any difference with "gthumb *.jpg"20:54
David-Anantou: are you in image view? (menu view>image view)20:56
knomei thought David-A said to list all the subdirectories in the command he gave, but maybe it's me who is misreading.20:58
nantoui cannot locate the icons he makes reference to20:59
nantoumenu view>image view21:00
nantouthere is a view option in the main menu, with sub options:  refresh, toolbar, statusbar...21:01
nantoudo you mean that by "menu view"?21:02
David-A nantou: sorry View>Image  (where one image is shown and there are Previous/Next buttons)21:02
nantou3.1.2 is my version. In the menu bar, the "view" sections does not list any "image"21:03
David-Anantou: sorry again, I'm old: 2.10.1121:06
andylandHow do I change the meta key in terminal to something like alt instead of esc? I'm sitting on the latest xubuntu version on an old HP laptop with a Swedish keyboard setting.21:44
David-Aandyland: for command line editing in bash, i think alt already works as an alternative to esc. is there a special program you need to adapt?21:48
andylandDavid-A: Nevermind I think it was working all along, just my plain stupidity. It's mainly for Emacs though in case you were wondering.22:06
David-Ano problem, vi skall alla den vägen vandra22:12
