[00:00] good night [02:09] Hey guys [04:12] How do I start the program transmission via the comman line? I'm trying to run this via an x session over ssh [04:15] keithclark, transmission-gtk works for me [04:15] maybe transmission-qt for you [04:17] a bit off topic, but if you need a good headless client, might want to look into 'aria2' [04:18] rosemball, transmission-gtk works great here! Thanks. [04:19] you are welcome [04:19] My headless server is massive compared to my little netbook and I want to be able to access that machine for doing torrent downloads [04:20] I've installed xubuntu on it and accessing x sessions via ssh is working wonderfully. [04:21] Well,, I've installed Proxmox first, then a ubuntu 13.04 server, then xubuntu and it all ties together just fine! Lots of fun. [04:26] nice [04:26] for the cli? use rtorrent [04:27] bazhang, yeah, I've used rtorrent in the past. transmission is just so easy. [04:28] keithclark, why would you want to start transmission from the command line [04:28] bazhang, netbook connected via ssh to a headless server [04:28] !find transmission [04:28] Found: transmission-cli, transmission-common, transmission-daemon, transmission-dbg, transmission-gtk [04:28] keithclark, ^ [04:29] Yup, already have the answer via rosemball. [04:29] transmission-cli , not -qt [04:29] transmission-gtk [04:30] thats with a gui [04:30] Yes, what I wanted. Maybe you missed something? [04:30] headless server? [04:31] keithclark, you may also try to use the remote management mode, where you use your browser to work with transmission [04:31] rtorrent is really the choice here [04:31] Yes, I have a netbook accessing a headless server. I wanted to access transmission gui via ssh. [04:31] much easier than transmission in every respect [04:31] rosemball, that is a great idea, researching now. [04:32] bazhang, I will look at rtorrent again. It has been a long time. [04:37] I 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|! [04:38] Just experimenting I guess [04:38] I wanted to do something like this, more like thin clients [04:39] Exactly [04:39] It seems to be working here. xubuntu desktop installed on the server and running remote ssh sessions. [04:40] what about bandwidth overheard? [04:40] Seems fine on my lan here. [04:40] I've not tried it remotely yet though. [04:40] nice [04:41] It seems to be. I'm still learning though. We got this server for just $70 CDN [04:41] big deal :) [04:42] I just want to be able to use it. I think this setup could support 4-5 netbooks in a thin client setup. Easily [08:13] hello people, I have a problem with my microphone! [08:13] turns out I can record audio with audacity, but on skype the microphone seems not to work [08:14] I fear something is missconfigured between alsa and pulseaudio, could somebody help me? [08:17] http://askubuntu.com/questions/96367/how-can-i-get-line-in-microphone-working-with-skype-on-lubuntu-11-10 something like that? [08:20] let me take a look [08:22] kinda, he rather had an issue with his usb micro [08:23] mine is an internal micro, therefore alsomixer looks a bit different on my side, there are no aux, analog source, digital source etc channels [08:23] !skype [08:23] To 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 !Ekiga [08:23] hmm [08:23] that page has a 'troubleshooting' section [08:27] the thing is I don't even get anything at pulse audio control, not only skype [08:27] as for audacity it seems like I can access directly to alsa [08:27] which is why I believe pulseaudio might be missconfigured, not skype [08:28] the troudbleshooting section did not do the trick btw [08:28] or maybe something is hogging the mike from alsa and not letting pulseaudio use it [08:28] that's why you shouldn't use alsa directly [08:29] it's not like I could access pulseaudio directly with audacity [08:29] there is no plugin? [08:29] as far as I can see I can only choose alsa [08:30] well, try closing audacity and see if that frees it for pa [08:33] well sometimes it's freezing [08:34] You can also try the troubleshooting section on the pulse wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio [08:34] and no I always close audacity after a quick test [08:39] ah great, now it [08:39] s not even working on audacity haha [08:44] ubot93, lag [08:44] You have lag, I don't have lag [08:44] hokay [08:49] nope, article was not helpful at all [08:50] mhhh, maybe there is a pulseaudio channel here on freenode [08:50] help.ubuntu.com needs google.com to display serach result. [08:50] Someone at Ubuntu don' value privacy...

[09:27] bekks: same problem [09:28] Then you have to check the logs to see whats the issue. [09:29] well.. which one..? I checked ~/.xsession-errors [09:30] Pastebin it, and take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log [09:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6105413/, session errors [09:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6105416/ and my Xorg log [09:35] I also tried to login with the Nx client, this works ...

Is there anything out there that can handle 1920x1200 @ 60fps? [16:27] LOL, no. [16:27] Your network is too slow for that. [16:27] I have a 10 gigabit connection between the two computers [16:29] running two intel x540-t1's with a crossover cable between the two computers [16:33] as 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] 3.96 Gb/s is the spec on single link dvi that is [16:33] Monkeytoe: I don't think your graphics card can handle receiving that many pixels per second [16:34] not to mention other parts [16:34] Neither your graphics card can do that, nor your PCI bus. And basically it is nonsense. [16:34] What is your main goal? Gaming over RDP? [16:34] Yes [16:35] ROFLMAO [16:35] Good luck, waste other peoples time please :) [16:36] I fail to see how the PCI bus is not capable of 3.96 gigabits/s [16:37] the network card is running on x8 pcie 2.1 [16:37] the graphics cards are amd 7950's [16:37] All you have to do is implement an RDP protocol that is capable of 1920x1200@60. [16:37] If you are done, call us again :) [16:38] so now its a software limitation? you just got through saying its a hardware limitation [16:38] rather rudely I might add [16:39] It is a combination of hardware and software limitations. [16:39] After fixing your hardware, only the missing software is left. [16:42] Hola alguien que hable español que me pueda ayudar con un problema que tengo con xubuntu [16:42] !es | xubuntu747 [16:42] xubuntu747: 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. [16:48] Monkeytoe: there are several limitations in there, mostly because nobody seems to have such needs [16:49] Monkeytoe: you are the first, you can try experimenting and something may actually work, but don't expect anyone with experience with something like this [16:49] im wondering if a dvi over IP adapter would be better [16:49] I already use synergy to share keyboard/mouse between the two computers [16:50] why does it have to be ip? [16:50] doesnt have to be [16:51] just need to get the video stream from that computer to this one in a window [16:51] a long video cable sounds more reliable and cheaper [16:51] in a window :/ [17:13] stock ubuntu has a wacom tablet settings thing [17:13] does XFCE have this? or can i install a package? [17:14] kde-config-tablet ? [17:16] Pwnna: http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/mouse [17:18] baizon: but that doesn't have a lot of settings [17:18] i need dual screen support, and so forth [17:19] Pwnna: http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/Wacom+Control+Panel?content=104309 [17:20] i'm pretty sure that one is outdated [17:20] i have no problem using xinput, but i think it's breaking my right click on my trackpoint [17:20] (thinkpad) [17:26] Pwnna: unfortunately no [17:26] Pwnna: you can try gpointing-device-settings [17:27] eh it's okay [17:27] i think my right click problem might be a hardware issue [17:27] it occasionally works. xev is not even detecting sometimes.. [17:27] Pwnna: but there is nothing for wacom tablets specifically, I just have a script that sets everything up with xsetwacin' [17:27] xsetwacom [17:27] same [17:27] xsetwacom set "Wacom Bamboo Connect Pen stylus" MapToOutput $1 [17:28] there are several abandoned projects for a wacom gui [17:28] yeah [17:28] whatever. [17:28] should create a widget for this for xfce [17:28] so i can switch between screens [17:29] TheSheep: i want a way to like.. restrict the pen movement [17:29] just bind it to a key [17:29] to a portion of the screen. that i select.. [17:29] you can set the mode to 'window' [17:29] how? [17:30] gpointing-device-settings [17:30] can i do it via xinput? [17:30] ah, no, sorry [17:31] well there's gotta be a way to do it via command line? [17:31] it's in the "mouse & touchpad" settings in xubuntu settings [17:31] you can also set it up in gimp, inkscape or mypaint individually [17:32] yeah, it's called "mode" and it can be "screen" or "window" [17:32] or "absolute" and "relative" [17:32] relative is bs [17:32] doesn't work well [17:32] yeah, that's for mice [17:32] tbh it's okay. i just have xournal to full screen [17:35] be glad it's wacom, other tablets have *much* worse support [17:35] lol [17:35] yeah [17:35] damnit i think i might need to replace this keyboard [18:32] Hi, 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] It returns command not found. [18:32] Does anyone know what has gone wrong? [18:33] there is not command 'apt' [18:33] and add-apt-repository is just a convenience script [18:33] ok, I wasn't sure about that one, but I am about "add-apt-repository..." [18:33] hmmm [18:33] you can just add stuff to your sources list manually, as described on launchpad [18:34] in the ppa [18:34] add-apt-repository is provided by the package "software-properties-common" [18:34] is that in /etc/apt/sources.list? [18:35] cool! [18:35] I'll try that. [18:35] Thank you both. [18:36] installing that packaged worked [18:36] package* [18:36] :) [19:12] snuggyfoo: to add repository there is also System>SoftwareSources>OtherSoftware>Add [19:15] David-A I think I'm missing that. I don't see SoftwareSources under the System menu. [19:15] I think a lot of things are missing in this Crouton installed version [19:16] I can't get libreoffice to open. It says it's missing the shared libraries: liblpsolve55.so [19:19] Nevermind, installing libreoffice-calc fixed that. [19:22] snuggyfoo: Software Sources dialog is also available from inside Synaptic Package Manager, Settings>Repositories [20:18] is 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 does [20:37] nantou: 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. [20:38] nantou: e.g. gthumb *.jpg nature/*.jpg popstars/*.jpg [20:48] David-A, how do I do that? step by step instructions please [20:48] 23:38 David-A: nantou: e.g. gthumb *.jpg nature/*.jpg popstars/*.jpg [20:49] do I then have to start it from the terminal? [20:50] nantou: 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. [20:54] David-A, i dont see any difference with "gthumb *.jpg" [20:56] nantou: are you in image view? (menu view>image view) [20:58] i thought David-A said to list all the subdirectories in the command he gave, but maybe it's me who is misreading. [20:59] i cannot locate the icons he makes reference to [21:00] menu view>image view [21:01] there is a view option in the main menu, with sub options: refresh, toolbar, statusbar... [21:02] do you mean that by "menu view"? [21:02] nantou: sorry View>Image (where one image is shown and there are Previous/Next buttons) [21:03] 3.1.2 is my version. In the menu bar, the "view" sections does not list any "image" [21:06] nantou: sorry again, I'm old: 2.10.11 [21:44] How 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. [21:48] andyland: 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? [22:06] David-A: Nevermind I think it was working all along, just my plain stupidity. It's mainly for Emacs though in case you were wondering.
