 I'll keep an eye on ##fix_your_connection and remove it when it's no longer applicable.
[08:18] <Jordan_U> dax: Thanks (I don't have op powers in -offtopic or I would have done it myself).
[08:43] <TheLordOfTime> so, question, since Jordan_U said other ops should chime in because its 2AM where he/she is:  TheLordOfTime> question: is asking how to circumvent policies in place on a network on topic in #ubuntu?  if not, rigo's asking how to get his remote desktop working so he can violate corporate-set policies on his environment.  (read the scrollbacks and what I asked him)
[08:45] <Tm_T> TheLordOfTime: we usually are not aiding on breaking rules/laws
[08:45] <TheLordOfTime> Tm_T, that's what i thought, but i wanted an op to confirm that's the policy, if that's the case, you may need to poke rigo about that, given the subject matter and them confirming my suspicions
 rigo, sounds like you're wanting to bypass the proxy at your location to circumvent policies.
 yes. it doesnt sounds like. it IS the thing :)
[08:46] <Tm_T> TheLordOfTime: but it's often very gray area, for example if they wouldn't mention for what they need certain technology for, we wouldn't know we would be aiding on circumventing policies
[08:46] <TheLordOfTime> Tm_T, they confirmed that's what they're trying to do when i suspected it.
[08:46] <TheLordOfTime> Tm_T, i'm highly wary of that stuff anyways.  also, someone posted a forkbomb in -offtopic.
[08:46] <Tm_T> forkbomb is instaban
[08:46] <TheLordOfTime> then someone go deal with it?
[08:47] <TheLordOfTime> or, to work off of what Jordan_U told me, is there no -offtopic op on?
[08:48] <Tm_T> I am on it, I try talk sense first though
[08:48] <TheLordOfTime> that works.  in any case, i confirmed what i thought, that helping to circumvent policies is against the general idea of the channel.
[08:48] <TheLordOfTime> i'll leave it to ops to decide how to handle rigo in #ubuntu, i'm going to return to stabbing my php5 fork :P
[11:09] <Seveas> noone4 seems to be something odd
[11:10] <Seveas> not active in channels, just attempting to initiate DCC chats
[11:11] <Seveas> doesn't seem to annoy too many people just yet, but look out for more reports?
[11:15] <Tm_T> I got that dcc chat too for ther record
[12:20] <IdleOne> Do did I
[12:20] <IdleOne> So*
[12:49] <IdleOne> How can I help you gordonjcp ?
[12:54] <IdleOne> gordonjcp: Please don't idle in here
[12:54] <gordonjcp> IdleOne: okay then
[13:53] <lhavelund> um.
[13:54] <lhavelund> wasn't RamchndraApta in -ot banned a few days ago
[13:54] <lhavelund> i'm pretty sure i did
[13:54] <lhavelund> id 52033
[13:54] <lhavelund> i have forgotten how to look those up.
[13:55] <tsimpson> search for the id in the bantracker (web api)
[13:55] <lhavelund> that is vaguely helpful.
[13:55] <lhavelund> ._.
[13:57] <tsimpson> unless you mean @bansearch?
[13:57] <lhavelund> ideally i'd prefer to access it on the web api
[13:57] <lhavelund> but I've forgotten just about everything to do with it
[13:58] <tsimpson> then just search for the nick/mask
[13:58] <tsimpson> optionally in some channel, optionally by some op
[13:58] <lhavelund> where is the web interface located again?
[13:58] <tsimpson> type @btlogin
[13:58] <lhavelund> dang
[13:59] <lhavelund> i knew i'd forgotten something
[13:59] <lhavelund> no output
[13:59] <lhavelund> @btlogin
[13:59] <lhavelund> unless, of course, i need to do it in channel
[13:59] <mneptok> @login
[13:59] <lhavelund> @login
[13:59] <mneptok> that first
[13:59] <lhavelund> aha.
[14:01] <lhavelund> am I still in the db, tsimpson?
[14:01] <tsimpson> lhavelund: probably under your old nick
[14:02] <lhavelund> that is a possibility
[14:03] <tsimpson> I'll add your current cloak to the bot, so it knows you
[14:03] <MenZa> perfect, cheers
[14:03] <lhavelund> i didn't realise i hadn't done much operating since i nickchanged
[14:04] <tsimpson> see if you can @whoami
[14:05] <tsimpson> it should say menza
[14:05] <lhavelund> it does
[14:05] <lhavelund> :D
[14:06] <tsimpson> well that's my good deed for the day done :)
[14:06] <lhavelund> :D
[14:06] <lhavelund> appreciate it, tsimpson
[14:06] <lhavelund> how's things around here these days?
[14:06] <lhavelund> i see mneptok still lurks. some things never change.
[14:06] <lhavelund> Hi, RamchandraApte.
[14:06] <RamchandraApte> why did I get ...
[14:07] <lhavelund> I banned an alternative IP of yours the other night for attempted (and unsuccessful) trolling.
[14:07] <RamchandraApte> I didn't intend to troll
[14:07] <lhavelund> one moment.
[14:07] <lhavelund> i'm just finding the log.
[14:08] <lhavelund> also, flooding.
[14:08] <lhavelund> does "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" sound familiar?
[14:08] <RamchandraApte> yes
[14:08] <lhavelund> ok.
[14:08] <lhavelund> do you now understand why you were banned?
[14:08] <RamchandraApte> lhavelund: but why did I get kicked again now?
[14:08] <lhavelund> Because you're just connecting from a different IP, evading the ban (whether intentional or not).
[14:09] <lhavelund> Getting a new IP doesn't simply give you a clean slate.
[14:09] <RamchandraApte> I didn't do it intentionally
[14:09] <RamchandraApte> We off the modem in the night so ...
[14:09] <mneptok> karma follows like the wheel follows the foot of the ox.
[14:09] <RamchandraApte> How long is the kick?
[14:10] <lhavelund> Until you promise me you'll shape up and a) not flood the channel, and b) not bait users into arguing with you.
[14:10] <RamchandraApte> lhavelund: I'm not intenionally baiting users into arguing.
[14:10] <RamchandraApte> I thought it was just a discussion.
[14:10] <RamchandraApte> I won't flood the channel again
[14:10] <lhavelund> 2012-10-30T08:50:33 <RamchandraApte> linux is crap
[14:10] <lhavelund> 2012-10-30T08:50:55 <RamchandraApte> its a disorganised collection of projects patched (like band-aids) together by distros to make it workable
[14:10] <lhavelund> you're entitled to anopinoin, but that's baiting to me.
[14:10] <lhavelund> an opinion*
[14:11] <RamchandraApte> lhavelund: ok, I was a little over-emotional but that is, in a lesser form, my opinion.
[14:11] <RamchandraApte> s/little/
[14:11] <lhavelund> which is perfectly ok. but i suggest you present your thoughts a little more pragmatically.
[14:11] <RamchandraApte> lhavelund: ok.
[14:12] <lhavelund> either way. assuming you'll be nice, i can lift the ban :)
[14:12] <lhavelund> just keep it in mind for future reference.
[14:12] <RamchandraApte> lhavelund: remember that I am muted on #python-offtopic so think twice.
[14:12] <lhavelund> eh?
[14:12] <mneptok> RamchandraApte: coming to Linux-specific channels if that is your opinion is more than confusing to me
[14:12] <lhavelund> the #python* namespace has nothing to do with our channels or how we mod them.
[14:12] <RamchandraApte> lhavelund: just giving you background info
[14:12] <lhavelund> we have our policies, they have theirs.
[14:13] <lhavelund> so
[14:13] <lhavelund> you're asking me to reconsider removing your ban?
[14:13] <RamchandraApte> yes
[14:13] <lhavelund> ok, i won't remove the ban, then
[14:13] <lhavelund> have a good day.
[14:14] <RamchandraApte> you too :-)
[14:14] <lhavelund> if there's nothing else i can help you with, please part the channel. :)
[14:14] <lhavelund> *ahem*
[14:14] <RamchandraApte> can you please unkick me
[14:15] <lhavelund> unkick you?
[14:15] <RamchandraApte>  yes.
[14:15] <lhavelund> that's not technically possible
[14:16] <lhavelund> but let me get this straight
[14:16] <lhavelund> i say we can remove the ban if you agree to shape up. you ask me to reconsider, implying you're a troublesome user in the first place. i concede that, perhaps we should unban you.
[14:16] <lhavelund> let me try to explain the terminology
[14:16] <RamchandraApte> I just said you should think a bit more.
[14:17] <lhavelund> 1) a kick means you are removed from the channel. not barred from entering it. you can instantly re-join, UNLESS
[14:17] <RamchandraApte> I didn't mean to imply I was troublesome.
[14:17] <lhavelund> 2) you're banned. a ban disallows you from entering the channel.
[14:17] <lhavelund> ok, let's go back to square one, then.
[14:17] <lhavelund> we believe most of our users are happy to shape up if we talk to them first.
[14:17] <lhavelund> which is what we're doing with you now.
[14:17] <RamchandraApte>
[14:18] <lhavelund> so, a simple question. if i allow you priviliges to re-enter the channel, will you contribute constructively and positively to the atmosphere of the channel, and not break any of our rules?
[14:18] <RamchandraApte> lhavelund: yes
[14:18] <lhavelund> right, good
[14:18] <lhavelund> one final request, then.
[14:18] <RamchandraApte> is the ubuntu code of conduct the rules?
[14:18] <lhavelund> please stop asking for help with your python projects in the -offtopic channel. there are python channels available, and they are both more relevant, and presumably more knowledgable of the issue.
[14:18] <lhavelund> !coc
[14:18] <lhavelund> !o4o
[14:19] <lhavelund> the code of conduct and additional rules apply in !o4o
[14:19] <lhavelund> the code of conduct is a document we ask all community members and developers to adhere to. in the interest of practicalities and avoiding drama in -offtopic, we have additional rules in place to keep it a safe and comfortable place for everyone.
[14:20] <RamchandraApte> lhavelund: I did sign it though I lost my signature.
[14:20] <lhavelund> signing it is not necessary.
[14:20] <lhavelund> !guidelines
[14:20] <lhavelund> there are additional guidelines there.
[14:20] <lhavelund> please take five minutes to read them, then return here.
[14:20] <RamchandraApte> OK thanks
[14:22] <RamchandraApte> done
[14:22] <lhavelund> you read 1959 words in less than two minutes.
[14:23] <lhavelund> try again.
[14:23] <RamchandraApte> I skimmed through it.
[14:23] <RamchandraApte> I read the main points of the Ubuntu code of conduct.
[14:23] <lhavelund> right.
[14:23] <lhavelund> either way. please behave accordingly in our channels, and there will be no more issues.
[14:24] <lhavelund> you are no longer banned, RamchandraApte.
[14:24] <lhavelund> feel free to re-enter the channel, and part this one.
[14:24] <lhavelund> have a good day.
[14:24] <RamchandraApte> OK bye
[14:24] <RamchandraApte> you too
[14:25] <lhavelund> i really haven't done one of those in far too long.
[14:25] <IdleOne> lhavelund: remove the original ban while you're at it :)
[14:25] <lhavelund> i suppose i should, yes
[14:25] <lhavelund> thanks, IdleOne
[14:25] <IdleOne> thank you.
[14:26] <lhavelund> sorted
[14:27] <tsimpson> lhavelund: by the way, there is #ubuntu-ops-team now too
[14:27] <IdleOne> supa sekrit channel
 noone4: don't dcc people randomly
[14:53] <bazhang> another complaint about him
[14:55]  * lhavelund hugs bazhang
[14:55] <bazhang> got him in PM
[14:57] <bazhang> @mark #ubuntu michealPW] (~michealpw@<IP_ADDRESS>): michealPW   constantly offtopic, warned repeatedly
[14:57] <bazhang> lhavelund, nice to see you back
[14:58] <lhavelund> bazhang: :) good to see you.
[14:59] <lhavelund> bazhang: i was never gone, just very inactive.
[15:14] <bazhang> even the floodbots are getting d c c spam from noone4
[15:39] <Tm_T> hi lhavelund
[15:40] <Tm_T> what, things change around here?

[16:41] <knome> hullo AlanBell :)
[16:41] <AlanBell> hi knome
[16:44] <bazhang> augh
[16:44] <bazhang> he just gave his teamviewer info on the open channel
[20:43] <jrib> ikonia: you sure he didn't mean he wouldn't mislead people anymore? Could read that both ways to be honest
[20:44] <ikonia> nope, not sure
[20:44] <ikonia> but fed up with these fools "it would be easier to uninstall binaries on arch than it would on ubuntu"
[20:44] <ikonia> so I don't see a loss
[20:45] <ikonia> sorry if that seems harsh


[03:35] <Spitfire1900> How best to restore the Kubuntu gear to the Application launcher? I cannot find it in the "Select Icon" menu
[08:08] <user|5> hi
[08:09] <user|5> I want to the system requirements of kubuntu
[08:09] <user|5> i searched from website to website
[08:09] <user|5> but most of them is based on ubuntu
[08:10] <user|5> is there any for kubuntu only
[10:19] <mparillo> It is similar to Ubuntu. Kubuntu should be a bit lighter, but not enough to make any real difference.
[11:53] <user|18> Hello everyone, I have an ASUS Vivobook laptop, when I download Kubuntu, it is displayed in the ACPI error logs, how can I fix it?
[11:54] <user|18> Uploaded file: https://uploads.kiwiirc.com/files/b8ee52aba49d0ab2b249110467039f6d/image.png
[13:05] <mparillo> Does it eventually boot after those error messages?
[13:06] <Maik> mparillo: again, long gone :)
[13:17] <BluesKaj> Hi all
 seems to be power management to detect wifi or similar. Latest vivobook have many problems with mediatek (mt7921). (re @IrcsomeBot: <user|18> Hello everyone, I have an ASUS Vivobook laptop, when I download Kubuntu, it is displayed in the ACPI error logs, how can I fix it?)
[16:32] <WinExpert> The best C++ IDE for Kubuntu? I actually use Windows 11 and I want to change system to Kubuntu, but I can't find a good IDE for C++
[16:39] <Maik> https://www.google.com/search?channel=fs&client=ubuntu&q=C%2B%2B+ide+linux
 If you are ok with payed one then CLion is the best C++ IDE you can get on Linux. If you want a free one then KDevelop. (re @IrcsomeBot: <WinExpert> The best C++ IDE for Kubuntu? I actually use Windows 11 and I want to change system to Kubuntu, but I can't find a good IDE for C++)
 Also be sure if you will install KDevelop to have cmake installed. Its kinda newbie trap, Kdevelop will refuse to create a new project and give you a some confusing error message if you don't have a cmake installed :)
[16:54] <cbreak> I like Visual Studio Code
[16:54] <cbreak> it's ... ok.
[16:54] <Maik> ah bummer... sadly they left :/
[16:54] <cbreak> and it has a ton of very cool features, like SSH Remote Editing
[16:54] <cbreak> (including remote debugging)
[16:55] <cbreak> it has CMake support, and some kind of auto completion too.
 You are admin here, right? (re @IrcsomeBot: <Maik> ah bummer... sadly they left :/)
[17:14] <Maik> No i'm not :)
 ok, just wondering. (re @IrcsomeBot: <Maik> No i'm not :))
 ok, just wondering :) (re @IrcsomeBot: <Maik> No i'm not :))

[10:19] <shahan> My NTFS drives are not showing in the right side of COMPUTER
[10:20] <shahan> Its happening after recovering my GRUB2 of Ubuntu 11.10 as I had to install Windows XP after Ubuntu
[10:22] <shahan> I have installed the NTFS-config tool but its not running
[10:22] <shahan> but its installation is successful
[10:25] <shahan> this is the Thread I have opened regarding this issue.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1902910
[10:26] <bioterror> shahan, what does: sudo blkid      command prompt to you
[10:27] <bioterror> can you see your ntfs drives?
[10:28] <shahan> bioterror: ya.. I can see the NTFS drives http://paste.ubuntu.com/791477/
[10:29] <bioterror> hmmm
[10:29] <bioterror> you have: ntfs-3g installed?
[10:29] <shahan> bioterror: no.. I have NTFS-Config installed
[10:30] <bioterror> is it better?
[10:30] <bioterror>  For that use, it will configure them to use the open source ntfs-3g
[10:30] <bioterror>  driver. You'll also be able to easily disable this feature.
[10:31] <bioterror> http://flomertens.free.fr/ntfs-config/download.html that software is outdated :D
[10:31] <hobgoblin> you say installed ntfs-config - have you actually run it yet - it's not automatic
[10:32] <bioterror> you should only need ntfs-3g drivers for NTFS support
[10:32] <hobgoblin> none of the tools you've been pointed at are automatic
[10:32] <shahan> bioterror: ya.. I have installed the NTFS-3g but its not showing in the Dash Home
[10:33] <bioterror> it should show it in your file manager
[10:33] <bioterror> I dunno about unitys dash
[10:33] <shahan> hm
[10:33] <hobgoblin> shahan: try running ntfs-config - start typing it in the dash thing
[10:33] <shahan> how can I run it thorough terminal?
[10:34] <bioterror> nautilus is your file manager
[10:34] <shahan> ya... I am trying to run ntfs-config but its not running
[10:36] <shahan> let me do a restart
[10:59] <bioterror> quite a long restart
[10:59] <mysteriousdarren> bioterror: HI!!! how was your holiday?

[01:07] <N1ghtCrawler> Umh, trying to run a python script, i get the message "/usr/env/python: bad interpreter: no such file or directory.
[01:07] <N1ghtCrawler> I have python installed, but i beleave the script has wrong path.
[01:07] <N1ghtCrawler> .. to python. What is the right path?
[01:08] <lc2> usually /usr/bin/python
[01:08] <lc2> also, /usr/env/python is incorrect, that should be /usr/bin/env python
[01:11] <N1ghtCrawler> thanks :)
[01:26] <vrkhans> hi

[01:28] <vrkhans> can any one help me
[01:28] <vrkhans> thanks
[01:28] <burner> vrkhans: you need madwifi drivers maybe?
[01:28] <burner> vrkhans: try the restricted drivers manager?
[01:29] <vrkhans> what is restricted drivers manager?
[01:49] <dabud> i have had some trouble with ntfs-3g     somehow the computer? switched names for my 2 drives  and has denied me permission on one of them  can anybody give me an idea where i might begin to solve this problem?

[02:16]  * cody-somerville wonders how one configures a tablet PC.
[02:17] <DaveKong> Do you good applications or methods to use for testing one's computer speed?
[02:18] <DaveKong> I am trying to tweak my computer some but need reliable ways to know the effect of my changes.
[02:25] <cody-somerville> schweet :]
[02:25] <cody-somerville> I got my tablet pc working in Xubuntu
[02:27] <DaveKong> :)
[03:20] <Odd-rationale> cody-somerville: i have a nice script i wrote that helps with rotation. would you like to take a look?
[03:23] <cody-somerville> Odd-rationale, sure :]
[03:23] <Odd-rationale> cody-somerville: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tablet_PC#Script_for_Screen_Rotation
[03:24] <Odd-rationale> It should work on any tablet with wacom installed
[03:24] <Odd-rationale> everytime it runs, the display rotates 90 degrees clockwise
[03:25] <Odd-rationale> So i have a button or keyboard shorcut linked to the script.
[03:25]  * cody-somerville nods.
[03:27] <Odd-rationale> cody-somerville: i;m kind of new to bash scripting, so if you see any to improve, let me know.
[03:28] <Odd-rationale> cody-somerville: also, do you use cellwriter?
[03:29] <cody-somerville> cellwriter?
[03:29] <Odd-rationale> cody-somerville: http://risujin.org/cellwriter/
[03:31] <Odd-rationale> i *think* it is in the repos. otherwise, i remember there was a .deb on getdeb.net
[03:32]  * cody-somerville nods.
[03:33] <cody-somerville> what do you do with gksudo?
[03:33] <cody-somerville> forced to use keyboard?
[03:34] <Odd-rationale> um, never tried actually.. ;)
[03:35] <Odd-rationale> well, you could disable grabing. but there are some risks there...
[03:36] <Odd-rationale> run "gksu-properties" or something...
[03:47] <Odd-rationale> cody-somerville: also, xournal is a nice app as well
[03:47]  * cody-somerville nods.
[03:47]  * cody-somerville goes to bed. <g>
[04:06] <burner> what's xournal?
[04:12]  * burner sees
[04:24] <dabud> i've got a problem with the ntfs-config program    it tells me i don't have permission to open a hard drive that it originally let me open  and it has switched names of the hard drive on me
[04:25] <dabud> how can i uninstall it all  and start again  or fix the problem?
[04:42] <lc2> chown the device, i guess
[04:45] <holyguyver> Does anyone know how I can record the audio output of my soundcard?
[04:50] <dabud> lc2  was that for me and my problem?
[04:51] <lc2> yes
[04:51] <lc2> holyguyver: wire your speaker jack into your line in
[04:51] <lc2> if your soundcard doesn't support recording what's currently being played
[04:52] <holyguyver> My card does support it though, I just want to know what cammand to use in the terminal or what program to use to record my soundcards output.
[04:52] <holyguyver> lc2
[04:52] <lc2> holyguyver: sudo apt-get install audacity
[04:53] <lc2> good recording software
[04:53] <lc2> and i should have been more specific, if the *driver* for your soundcard supports doing that
[04:53] <dabud> ty     but i am curious how it switched file[disk]  names on me
[04:53] <lc2> dunno
[04:54] <holyguyver> lc2 I already have audacity, been using it for years.
[04:54] <lc2> holyguyver: okay
[04:54] <holyguyver> So how do I do it?
[04:54] <dabud> i go to file/system/media and find the hard drive my music is on and when i open it  it shoes me the files that are on my other hard drive
[04:54] <lc2> holyguyver: if you don't have the option to switch recording devices in that way in audacity, then, you can't do it
[04:55] <holyguyver> lc2 I never said I weather I have that option or not, How do I find that option?
[04:56] <lc2> holyguyver: whereever it is you select your recording device in audacity
[04:57] <holyguyver> I don't know where that is
[04:57] <holyguyver> lc2
[04:58] <lc2> it's in the main window somewhere, i haven't used it in months so i really don't know
[04:58] <lc2> a drop-down box
[04:59] <holyguyver> lc2 Also I have not been able to get audacity to even play sound with hardy, it has trouble with pulseaudio I guess.
[04:59] <lc2> oh, that's odd
[04:59] <lc2> maybe you should report a bug
[05:00] <holyguyver> lc2 so besides audacity, preferably a terminal cammand for a sound demean, do you know of any?
[05:05] <holyguyver> nothing?
[05:06] <lc2> jesus give me a chance will you
[05:06] <holyguyver> Thank you
[05:08] <lc2> shit, lunix doesn't have a "mixer" command?
[05:11] <dabud> lc2   i just rebooted into windows to see if the music hard drive was still good  and it is still working     i rebooted back in xubuntu and it also  [ntfs-3g] is working now
[05:12] <lc2> hokay
[05:13] <dabud> way beyond my limited knowledge  as to why  and yes hooray   my husband has 50,000 files and it wud be a death sentence for me
[05:13] <dabud> lol
[05:14] <dabud> anyway  is there a forum  or something that i can go to to get info on ntfs-3g  etc  that u know of?
[05:17] <lc2> you might want to talk to the fuse people
[05:17] <holyguyver> lc2 can't I just pipe the output from the soundcard to wherever I want to save it?
[05:18] <lc2> holyguyver: you'd still have to set your recording device to do *anything* and that's only if your driver supports it
[05:18] <lc2> why you would want to do such a thing baffles me
[05:18] <holyguyver> So that I can record audio from my computer
[05:19] <lc2> well i figured that.
[05:19] <lc2> but you know, why would you want to do that?
[05:19] <holyguyver> A good example would be if someone wanted to record the sound from a videogame they are playing like DOOM.
[05:20] <lc2> mmkay
[05:21] <holyguyver> my reason is that I am trying to record an aidostream that streamripper cannot rip, so I need to rip it directly from my output.
[05:22] <lc2> oh.
[05:22] <lc2> well use alsamixer to set your recording device
[05:22] <lc2> (if your driver supports doing that)
[05:25] <holyguyver> & how ould I use alsa mixer?
[05:25] <dabud> k ty lc2
[05:25] <holyguyver> would
[05:25] <lc2> holyguyver: in the terminal
[05:26] <lc2> run alsamixer
[05:26] <lc2> hit tab to select capture
[05:26] <lc2> move left/right keys to select your recording device, hit space
[05:27] <lc2> (again, this will fail if your driver does not support that as a recording device)
[05:27] <lc2> hit space
[05:27] <lc2> hit escape
[05:27] <lc2> profit
[05:27] <holyguyver> I am in the gui
[05:27] <holyguyver> so all you instructions are lost on me :p
[05:27] <lc2> hokay
[05:27] <lc2> well i dunno then
[05:27] <lc2> alsamixer here is a terminal program
[05:28] <holyguyver> alright I am in the terminal one now
[05:28] <lc2> then see above ^^
[05:28] <lc2> then use whatever recording software you prefer to record it
[05:28] <lc2> profit!"
[05:29] <lc2> since i've not ever recorded anything on xubuntu that's all i can do for you
[05:29] <holyguyver> my options are mic b os capture capture2 digital input so input so2
[05:29] <lc2> the device is probably capture
[05:30] <holyguyver> they are both turned up on full
[05:30] <lc2> (again, space to select it)
[05:30] <holyguyver> but as said I can't get audaicty to produce sound on hardy, so any other recording software suggestions?
[05:30] <lc2> ecasound if you liek command line
[05:33] <lc2> then, ecasound -i alsa -o somefile.wav
[05:53] <XwarlokX82> hey guys i got an issue
[05:54] <lc2> o noes
[05:54] <XwarlokX82> lol
[05:55] <XwarlokX82> i've tried installing 8.04 multiple times, i've checked both the live cd and alt cd isos md5s, run them through their self check...etc. neither cd will complete the install, they both freeze at random points during the install
[05:55] <lc2> weren't you here before?
[05:56] <XwarlokX82> indeed i was
[05:56] <lc2> shit. ;\
[05:56] <lc2> what are they doing when they freeze?
[05:56] <XwarlokX82> i didn't recall getting an answer, so i came back to ask again
[05:56] <XwarlokX82> i think the live cd freezes during the partioning part, and the alt cd freezes when it goes to install the system
[05:57] <lc2> hmm :\
[05:57] <XwarlokX82> but both my isos are flawless...etc. cds burned properly...i don't get it
[05:57] <lc2> i don't get it either
[05:58] <XwarlokX82> apparently this is a one in a million error...i've looked over ubuntuforums.org and the problem hasn't been mentioned
[05:58] <lc2> the only thing i can think it could be, is a bad burn both times
[05:59] <lc2> but if you're the same person who was here before, you tried burning it more than once
[05:59] <XwarlokX82> indeed
[05:59] <XwarlokX82> both isos
[06:00] <lc2> in which case, i haven't the foggiest idea what it could be ;(
[06:00] <XwarlokX82> yeah me too
[06:00] <XwarlokX82> i'm tempted to order a disc from the ubuntu site and see if it is something to do with my setup...
[06:02] <lc2> but it freezes at random points in the install
[06:03] <XwarlokX82> indeed
[06:03] <XwarlokX82> and whats weird is the damn live cd works beautifully...
[06:03] <XwarlokX82> but i can't install for crap.
[06:04] <lc2> hm :(
[06:05] <XwarlokX82> the only thing i can think of is boot up the live disc again and try it again...i wish i had some way of getting a screenshot of it frozen like that
[06:05] <XwarlokX82> the entire machine freezes
[06:05] <lc2> no problems with your hard drive?
[06:05] <svil> hello
[06:05] <XwarlokX82> nope...not at all
[06:05] <lc2> hi svil
[06:05] <XwarlokX82> right now i've got win vista replacing ubuntu till i get this sorted.
[06:05] <lc2> XwarlokX82: :( i don't know what to suggest
[06:06] <svil> who speak in russia? a bad speak in english, but i think that you can ubderstand me :)
[06:06] <svil> *understand
[06:08] <XwarlokX82> thanks for trying to help lc2
[06:08] <XwarlokX82> i appreciate it, gonna fool with the cd some more...
[06:09] <deniz_ogut> @svil: I can understand you. Go on please.
[06:10] <svil> what packages must i install for using xfce windows effects such as transparent and other (without compiz)?
[06:12] <deniz_ogut> as I know far, Fluxbox supports transparency. But there may be other more practical ways;I never tried.
[06:12] <lc2> svil: if your driver supports it, then you don't have to install anything else
[06:13] <lc2> applications -> settings manager, window manager tweaks, compositor tab
[06:13] <lc2> if you don't have a tab there called compositor, then your driver doesn't support compositing (transparency and other fun)
[06:16] <svil> for trying xubuntu i installed it in wmware under "ms windows". and i saw this tab.         After that i installed xubuntu-desktop in ubuntu and don't saw this tab.       is there wmware video driver support composite?
[06:16] <svil> *vmware
[06:17] <lc2> svil: that may well be so
[06:17] <lc2> svil: what video card do you have?
[06:17] <ralphz> I'm in a process of re-mastering the xubuntu live cd. I have a problem figuring out how the desktop icons are created during a boot time.
[06:17] <ralphz>  I'd like to remove Floppy Drive icon and maybe some others too and add My own ones. Anyone can help me with that ?
[06:18] <svil> i have old video card ATI RAGE 128PRO
[06:19] <lc2> svil: i don't even know if a rage will support compositing
[06:19] <lc2> ralphz: no clue
[06:47] <XwarlokX82> gah
[06:48] <XwarlokX82> well...the installer firmly freezes at 6% when installing packages from the alternate cd
[06:53] <lc2> well, shit
[06:55] <XwarlokX82> indeed
[06:55] <XwarlokX82> just posted on ubuntuforums
[06:55] <XwarlokX82> hopefully someone there will have an answer
[06:55] <XwarlokX82> i'd have seen what package it was, but by the time i could switch terminals it had already frozen...so i have no clue what package is at fault
[06:58] <lc2> :(
[07:00] <XwarlokX82> yea, sucks
[07:00] <XwarlokX82> though i do now have my partitions setup, so it wasn't an entire failure
[07:00] <lc2> okay
[07:00] <lc2> so it just freezes randomly, which makes no sense
[07:00] <lc2> like, totally randomly
[07:01] <XwarlokX82> well i had my info backwards earlier
[07:01] <XwarlokX82> the live cd freezes at the partition manager, and the alt cd is ok up until package installation
[07:02] <lc2> hmm :\
[07:03] <XwarlokX82> iirc i had a few issues with 7.10 install too...but nothing like this
[07:04] <XwarlokX82> i even tried turning off the acpi and apm stuff, to see if that was freezing it
[07:04]  * lc2 doesn't have a clue, not even any possibilities, but hopes you fix it :\
[07:05] <XwarlokX82> i'll fixer, if i cant get xubuntu to work i'll just pick another, maybe vanilla ubuntu or kubuntu
[07:06] <lc2> good luck with that
[07:06] <XwarlokX82> ty
[07:23] <Twingle> Hallo?
[07:31] <lc2> hi Twingle
[07:37] <ralphz> how do i customize logout dialog ?
[08:14] <TheSheep> ralphz: ins sessions and startup settings
[08:15] <TheSheep> ralphz: isn't it obvious? ;)
[08:16] <TheSheep> you just have to think of th last place you would look for them, and sure enough they are there
[08:16] <ralphz> TheSheep: but what configuration file does it change? I'm customizing the live iso :)
[08:17] <TheSheep> ralphz: /etc/xdg/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc or ~/.config/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc
[08:18] <TheSheep> the former is global, the latter is per user
[08:18] <ralphz> TheSheep: thanks :)
[08:21] <ralphz> TheSheep: is there somewhere a howto explaining all the xfce4-session.rc options?
[08:25] <TheSheep> ralphz: just set it for yourself using gui and then copy the file from ~/.config to /etc/xdg
[08:25] <TheSheep> ralphz: but it's dsecribed in the xfce documentation
[08:30] <konc3pt> Anyone have issues with keyboard lagging.. repeating.. not working wit h 8.04?
[08:32] <konc3pt> No? really, well, I'am :) hehhh...
[08:35] <ralphz> Is there something for xfce tat i can use to display rss feeds on the right side of the desktop with ability to click on links?
[10:11] <Twingle> I know this might fit better in #mplayer, but they couldn't fix the problem.  Does anyone know why mplayer does not sync up right while totem is fine under xfce4?
[10:25] <lc2> Twingle: because mplayer sucks
[10:25] <lc2> it has random issues like that on freebsd as well, for the record
[10:56] <Twingle> anyone awake?
[11:02] <lc2> nope.
[11:04] <lc2> ...
[11:11] <ralphz> is there a way to disable right click menus on panels and desktop ?
[11:15] <TheSheep> ralphz: google for xfce kiosk
[11:15] <ralphz> TheSheep: i have enabled tat but still have right click menu menu
[11:16] <ralphz> TheSheep: quit and restart. can i get rid of it ?
[15:27] <LetsGo67_> Que esta en la casa?
[17:17] <Riotta> hello
[17:18] <Riotta> I notice change in bootup process after latest kernel updates from latest ubuntu updates
[17:18] <Riotta> and I dunno if it's some bug/issue or it should be so
[17:19] <Riotta> the bootsplash is showing like for 4 seconds then the text about daemons that loaded [ok[ etc. is showing up (this wasn't before)
[17:20] <Riotta> and then it bootup normally to gdm
[17:20] <Riotta> is this some change ? in latest updates or something broke, I checked my bootsplash settings and they are like they were before I think
[17:22] <Riotta> before it was bootsplash for all the time of booting
[17:26] <lc2> odd
[17:26] <lc2> i've not had that
[17:34] <Riotta> :))
[17:34] <Riotta> yeah odd for me kinda too
[17:35] <Riotta> if it would be no splash at all it would be easy to fix but short splash?
[17:35] <Riotta> lol :P
[17:42] <lc2> indeed
[17:42]  * lc2 wonders
[17:43] <lc2> it's not showing any errors in the console when it drops to it?
[17:48] <Riotta> nope
[17:48] <Riotta> no errors
[17:48] <Riotta> no debug info
[17:48] <Riotta> just four seconds of bootsplash and then in textmode
[17:48] <Riotta> noticied that after latest kernel updates
[17:49] <Riotta> sub version 18/19
[18:14] <lc2> mm :\
[19:28] <gaurdro> does the (X)ubuntu torrent trackers allow uploads?  every time I've used them I let it sit for a long time but no one ever uploads from me.  even right after hardy came out.
[19:28] <gaurdro> s/uploads/outside seeders
[19:31] <TheSheep> it does, maybe you're behind a firewall/nat?
[19:32] <gaurdro> other torrents I have upload just fine.  this computer is in the dmz of my router as well.
[19:35] <TheSheep> gaurdro: maybe there are not so many downloads anymore, once the release date is so long ago
[19:37] <gaurdro> I don't really expect anyone to be downloading it from me today,  but I started but i began seeding a few days after it was released,  and no downloaded from me.
[19:43] <TheSheep> I had several gigs downloaded from me
[20:46] <spoo> hello
[20:47] <spoo> my screen resolution is a little crazy
[20:47] <spoo> running xubuntu on dell inspirion 8200
[20:47] <spoo> it was ok
[20:47] <spoo> now it's hard to read menus
[20:47] <spoo> almost impossible
[20:47] <spoo> i switched to a low res to make things bigger for now
[20:48] <spoo> does anyone know how to fix this?
[20:48] <spoo> thanks!
[20:48] <Stroganoff> you mean the fonts are small?
[20:48] <spoo> yes
[20:48] <spoo> fonts are small
[20:48] <spoo> menus are tiny
[20:48] <spoo> firefox looks ok
[20:48] <spoo> but XChat is impossible to read
[20:48] <spoo> unless i go low res
[20:48] <spoo> it's weird
[20:49] <Stroganoff> sudo mousepad /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common
[20:49] <Stroganoff> add this line:
[20:49] <Stroganoff> Xft.dpi: 72
[20:50] <spoo> wow
[20:50] <spoo> cool
[20:50] <spoo> umm
[20:50] <spoo> where do i add dpi 72 in this text file?
[20:50] <Stroganoff> add the whole line to the bottom of the file
[20:51] <spoo> ok
[20:51] <spoo> no exclamation point in front?
[20:51] <Stroganoff> no
[20:51] <spoo> ok
[20:51] <spoo> i did it
[20:51] <spoo> saved it
[20:52] <spoo> what do i do next?
[20:52] <spoo> (and thank you for your help!)
[20:52] <Stroganoff> ok, press ctrl+alt+backspace, this exits X and logs you out

[20:59] <Stroganoff> hehe
[20:59] <Stroganoff> hm
[20:59] <spoo> i can readd it!
[20:59] <spoo> but the display manager
[20:59] <spoo> only has one option now
[20:59] <spoo> before i could choose
[20:59] <spoo> now it just says 'defualt'
[20:59] <spoo> i think i messed up
[21:00] <Stroganoff> mmh no
[21:00] <Stroganoff> i think Xorg is pretty messed up lately
[21:00] <spoo> oh man
[21:00] <Stroganoff> what resolution do you want to use?
[21:00] <spoo> umm
[21:00] <spoo> dunno
[21:00] <spoo> something a little smaller
[21:00] <Stroganoff> you have a laptop?
[21:00] <spoo> yeah
[21:01] <spoo> it's nice to actually see
[21:01] <Stroganoff> you should use the native resolution
[21:01] <spoo> how do i change it now?
[21:01] <spoo> the gui display manager doesnt let me
[21:01] <spoo> after i added the stuff to that file
[21:02] <Stroganoff> i gather that would be 1600*1200
[21:02] <Stroganoff> sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:03] <spoo> k
[21:03] <Stroganoff> find the line: Section "Monitors"
[21:03] <spoo> it's open
[21:03] <y4ndexx> How many partitions, what size and filesystem do I need to install Xubuntu?
[21:03] <spoo> ok
[21:03] <spoo> there
[21:04] <spoo> whats next
[21:04] <Stroganoff> add this line after section..
[21:04] <Stroganoff> Modeline "1600x1200" 170.89  1600 1688 1896 2288  1200 1200 1203 1244
[21:05] <spoo> after where it says "endsection"
[21:05] <spoo> or just before that?
[21:06] <Stroganoff> before that
[21:06] <Stroganoff> inside the section
[21:06] <spoo> ok
[21:06] <Stroganoff> a modeline for the monitor
[21:06] <Stroganoff> ;)
[21:06] <spoo> there is a line that says that already
[21:06] <spoo> ok
[21:06] <Stroganoff> there is?
[21:06] <spoo> modeline  "640x480@60" 25.2 640 656 752 800 480 490 492 525 -vsync -hsync
[21:06] <spoo> 	Gamma	1.0
[21:06] <Stroganoff> ok this is a bad modeline
[21:07] <spoo> which is bad?
[21:07] <spoo> the 640?
[21:07] <ArthurArchnix> Stroganoff: spoo before getting too carried away, maybe you ought to rever the changes to the /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common ...
[21:07] <Stroganoff> your old one
[21:07] <Stroganoff> 640*480
[21:07] <spoo> oh
[21:07] <ArthurArchnix> revert*
[21:07] <spoo> should i delete and put yours in?
[21:07] <Stroganoff> yeah well it's not that bad to set up a fixed dpi and resolution/refresh rate for a laptop
[21:08] <Stroganoff> i wonder what happended to his DPI in the first place..
[21:08] <ArthurArchnix> Generally not set, and xorg defaults to 96 is my understanding.
[21:08] <spoo> ?
[21:08] <spoo> umm
[21:08] <spoo> so what should i do here?
[21:08] <spoo> :)
[21:08] <ArthurArchnix> Ignore me
[21:08] <spoo> ahah
[21:08] <spoo> ok
[21:08] <Stroganoff> yep i was going to mention the 96
[21:09] <Stroganoff> messed that up earlier
[21:09] <Stroganoff> spoo outcomment the 640 line (put a # in front of it)
[21:09] <Stroganoff> add the 1600 line
[21:09] <spoo> oh
[21:09] <spoo> ok
[21:09] <spoo> so the computer only sees the 1600 line then, right?
[21:10] <Stroganoff> yes
[21:10] <Stroganoff> you could also give him multiple lines
[21:10] <Stroganoff> but anyway
[21:10] <Stroganoff> for now make it so ;)
[21:12] <spoo> ok
[21:12] <spoo> saved it
[21:12] <spoo> so, restart X?
[21:12] <Stroganoff> yes
[21:12] <spoo> hooo
[21:12] <spoo> exciting!
[21:12] <spoo> ok
[21:12] <spoo> going for it
[21:14] <spoo> hi
[21:14] <spoo> ok, still HUGE
[21:14] <spoo> ahaha
[21:15] <Stroganoff> nothing changed
[21:15] <Stroganoff> ?
[21:15] <spoo> no
[21:15] <spoo> and display monitors still has nothing
[21:15] <spoo> so weird
[21:15] <spoo> maybe i will delete that 640 line
[21:16] <spoo>  #modeline  "640x480@60" 25.2 640 656 752 800 480 490 492 525 -vsync -hsync
[21:16] <spoo> 	#Gamma	1.0
[21:16] <spoo> am i supposed to have all the -vsync? and Gamma lines?
[21:17] <spoo> the one you gave me doesnt have them
[21:17] <spoo> is that ok?
[21:17] <Stroganoff> they can be ommitted
[21:18] <spoo> cool
[21:18] <spoo> i'll try again
[21:19] <spoo> hi
[21:19] <spoo> no luck
[21:19] <spoo> hmm
[21:20] <ArthurArchnix> The fact that you have all those lines suggests that you're on Gutsy. Either that, or you've been a naughty spoo and played around heavily with your Hardy install.
[21:20] <spoo> ummm
[21:20] <spoo> i dunno
[21:20] <spoo> i havent done that much
[21:20] <spoo> it's Xubuntu
[21:20] <spoo> that latest one
[21:20] <ArthurArchnix> The latest one is hardy, and its got this weekend new feature called Broken Xorg 7.3
[21:20] <spoo> hmm
[21:21] <ArthurArchnix> wicked*
[21:21] <spoo> haha
[21:21] <spoo> great
[21:21] <spoo> it's a great feature
[21:21] <ArthurArchnix> How did you originally change the screen resolution?
[21:21] <spoo> with the display monitor.  the GUI
[21:21] <spoo> in settings manager
[21:22] <ArthurArchnix> There should be this hidden gui to configure it... probably not visible in control panel
[21:22] <Stroganoff> tell me more
[21:22] <spoo> ok
[21:22] <ArthurArchnix> what was the command... I'm gonna have to check the forums for an old post... one sec
[21:23] <ArthurArchnix> Try this gksudo gtk-displayconfig
[21:23] <spoo> didnt do anything
[21:24] <ArthurArchnix> Yes, but was it new and interesting?
[21:24] <ArthurArchnix> :)
[21:24] <spoo> yes!
[21:24] <spoo> ahahah
[21:24] <spoo> was it this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:25] <Stroganoff> thats not very effective in hardy anymore
[21:25] <spoo> ok
[21:25] <spoo> hmm
[21:25] <spoo> so, umm
[21:25] <spoo> errrr
[21:25] <spoo> what should i do?
[21:25] <ArthurArchnix> If you open up your xorg.conf with mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf  and look at the comments near the top, they give a command to run that should restore things to like a clean install. It might be that command, or it might be with -phigh ... I don't see it work for people much, but it's certainly worth a try.
[21:26] <Stroganoff> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[21:27] <spoo> yes
[21:27] <spoo> that is what the xorg.conf file says
[21:28] <spoo> umm
[21:28] <spoo> ok that didnt seem to do anything
[21:29] <spoo> when i fist did the 72 thing
[21:29] <spoo> and added that
[21:29] <spoo> and restarted x
[21:29] <spoo> i think there was a moment when i messed up
[21:29] <spoo> it said "configure" or "continue"
[21:29] <spoo> and i did configure
[21:29] <spoo> i think
[21:29] <spoo> oh man
[21:30] <ArthurArchnix> Your name is spoo. But if you're on the other side of my screen it would be oops.  Up down. Around. Whatever tickles your recepticles. Just don't do it your way.
[21:35] <spoo> ooooh
[21:35] <spoo> hmm
[21:35] <spoo> lets see
[21:36] <ArthurArchnix> So resolution back to default, then that settings manager, user interface. Depending on what you're trying to do, you might just want to change font size.
[21:36] <ArthurArchnix> Like, dpi will make everything bigger. But if you just want ... sigh
[21:41] <spoo> success!
[21:41] <spoo> thanks you so much
[21:41] <spoo> i'm so stupid
[21:42] <spoo> although, the text in xchat is tiny
[21:42] <spoo> good lord
[21:42] <spoo> but, i will mess around
[21:42] <spoo> thank you so much for your help!!
[21:42] <spoo> i really appreciate it
[21:42] <spoo> i learned something new
[21:42] <spoo> so that's good
[22:04] <Zeeded> At the moment I'm running Xubuntu on my laptop. I have a monitor plugged in and it wont pick up the Signal. It just says that it "Can't read" the signal.... Can I get any help here?
[22:14] <Stroganoff> Zeeded some laptops only accept external montitors when plugged in during boot
[22:16] <Zeeded> I tryed that, I restarted it. And then i also tryed plugging it in while it was running.
[22:17] <Zeeded> I think a better question for me to ask would be
[22:17] <Zeeded> How do i get to Xorg?
[22:28] <slow-motion> hi
[22:31] <Zeeded> hey
[23:11] <potty> how do i adjust sound levels?
[23:13] <Odd-rationale> potty: add the volume control to the panel is the easiet way


[00:23] <CNLiberal> ok, so the full install of ubuntu worked just fine
[02:02] <CNLiberal> since I've done the full install of Ubuntu, and I have installed Myth-COntrol-Centre, do I need to create a new user for mythtv to run under?
[02:03] <CNLiberal> oops
[02:03] <CNLiberal> nevermind
[02:03] <CNLiberal> it did it by itself
[02:47] <CNLiberal> ok, so now i'm trying to run the mythtv-backend setup...and the term window is saying "Access denied for user 'mythtv' @ 'mythbackend' (using password: YES)
[02:47] <CNLiberal> do i have to allow mysql network access for that user?
[03:21] <rhpot1991> CNLiberal: remote frontend?
[03:21] <CNLiberal> i figure out the issue...i had to delete the ~/.mythtv folder and the mythtv users .mythtv folder
[03:21] <CNLiberal> i'm scanning channels now
[03:21] <CNLiberal> however
[03:22] <CNLiberal> my PVR-250 isn't being detected right
[03:22] <CNLiberal> i'm getting a bunch of errors, and ivtv defaults it to a 150
[04:28] <Shadow__X> can someone help with streaming a recording to an iphone
[04:56] <Stevezau> is it easy to install xbmc on mythbuntu?
[12:15] <Powderking> Hi all! I live in Switzerland and am trying setting up analogue cable on an Ubuntu Server 10.04 and MythTV 0.23. Since the XMLTV grabber website from tv.search.ch changed, I installed XMLTV 0.5.59. I configured tv_grab_ch_search and set up the capture card (PVR500) and video sources. When I try to do a full scan in the Input Connections screen, mythtv-setup quits. When trying to run mythfilldatabase --manual, it doesn't work as well
[13:22] <Powderking> Is there a possibility to use MythTV 0.24 with Ubuntu 10.04 by using the official repository and not compiling it from source? And how would I do that?
[14:57] <nudelsnack> Powderking: You can use the mythbuntu auto-builds: http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds
