| [01:33] <alnokta> why when i do sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop it doesn't install xubuntu? it just installs a package called xubuntu-desktop and exits | |
| [01:35] <alnokta> any idea? | |
| [01:36] <Lynet> alnokta: Perhaps you already have all the packages. xubuntu-desktop is an 'empty' package with a list of other packages to install. | |

| [02:03] <ub511> hi, how i can autoligin to the consol at startup ? | |
| [02:07] <ub511> is ~/.bash_profile the same as ~/.bashrc ? | |
| [02:07] <lc2> nope | |
| [02:08] <lc2> .bash_profile is executed when you log in, .bashrc is executed whenever the shell is executed | |
| [02:09] <ub511> lc2 : i need to autologin to a consol at startup i can do this by editing /etc/event.d/tty1 ? | |
| [02:09] <lc2> ub511: i haven't a clue | |
| [02:09] * lc2 has just come from bsd, doesn't really know how linux/ubuntu does that sort of thing | |

| [03:57] <Maxwell6643> Hello | |
| [03:58] <Maxwell6643> Can anyone help me? I MUST be able to switch between keyboard layouts using a two key command (e.g. alt-shift) for xubuntu to work for me (which I would like to do, as it is awesome. | |
| [04:01] <Maxwell6643> ? | |
| [04:01] <lc2> IDK LOL | |
| [04:01] <lc2> let's see | |
| [04:04] <lc2> http://ubuntu.sabza.org/2006/10/13/xubuntu-easily-switch-keyboard-layout/ | |
| [04:04] <lc2> THAR U GO | |
| [04:06] <lc2> slightly convoluted but whatever | |
| [04:06] <lc2> also i don't see why you need to have a shell script to do that (i.e. /usr/bin/fixkeyboard ) | |
| [04:07] <lc2> what languages do you want to switch between? | |
| [04:07] <lc2> layouts* | |
| [04:12] <lc2> well, shit | |
| [04:29] <Maxwell6643> H€llo | |
| [04:29] <Maxwell6643> Grrr | |
| [04:29] <Maxwell6643> Is anyon€ in h€r€ | |
| [04:30] <Maxwell6643> My k€yboard is fucking up | |
| [04:30] <Maxwell6643> BRB˙ | |
| [04:36] <Maxwell6643> Hello again. | |
| [04:39] <lc2> hia gain! | |
| [04:39] <lc2> hi again! | |
| [04:39] <Maxwell6643> Any id€as | |
| [04:39] <lc2> haha | |
| [04:40] <lc2> how on earth | |
| [04:40] <Maxwell6643> ? | |
| [04:40] <Maxwell6643> ?? | |
| [04:40] <lc2> Maxwell6643: whatever you did to make it do that? stop doing that | |
| [04:41] <lc2> anyway, you had a question earlier, you did get an answer but you got disconnected | |
| [04:41] <Maxwell6643> I didn't do anything. | |
| [04:41] <Maxwell6643> Oh. | |
| [04:41] <Maxwell6643> Well what was the answer? | |
| [04:41] <Maxwell6643> Could someone please paste it in here for me? | |
| [04:41] <lc2> i had a counter-question, which layouts do you want to switch between? | |
| [04:42] <Maxwell6643> Russian Winkeys and USA (former USA Intl') | |
| [04:42] <lc2> okay hold on | |
| [04:42] <Maxwell6643> And I do not consider counter questions to be answers ;) | |
| [04:42] <lc2> Maxwell6643: you did get an answer as well, but the counter-question would have made it even better | |
| [04:42] <lc2> which two keys do you want to use to switch? | |
| [04:43] <Maxwell6643> I want to be able to hit alt-shift and thus switch between the two layouts. | |
| [04:43] <Maxwell6643> Those are the only two I want to use. | |
| [04:43] <lc2> okay | |
| [04:43] <lc2> go to your settings manager, autostarted apps | |
| [04:43] <lc2> and put something like | |
| [04:44] <lc2> (click "add", obviously) | |
| [04:44] <Maxwell6643> How do I get to my settings manager? | |
| [04:44] <Maxwell6643> I just switched to Xubuntu today from Ubuntu. | |
| [04:44] <lc2> applications -> settings -> settings manager | |
| [04:44] <lc2> (that's okay, i don't find this too easy, i just came from freebsd) | |
| [04:45] <lc2> anyway, go to the autostarted apps therein, click "add" | |
| [04:45] <lc2> setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle us,ru | |
| [04:46] <Maxwell6643> What do I put as the name and description? | |
| [04:46] <lc2> enter that into a terminal first to make sure it works, because i really have nfi if it will | |
| [04:46] <lc2> put whatever you like | |
| [04:46] <lc2> string of profanities if you so choose | |
| [04:46] <lc2> oh and | |
| [04:47] <Maxwell6643> I don't think it did anything. | |
| [04:47] <Maxwell6643> asdlfkd | |
| [04:47] <Maxwell6643> дофыва | |
| [04:47] <lc2> . | |
| [04:47] <Maxwell6643> Oh, shit. | |
| [04:47] <Maxwell6643> I LOVE YOU! | |
| [04:47] <Maxwell6643> *HUGZ* | |
| [04:47] <lc2> i love me too | |
| [04:47] <lc2> Maxwell6643: one more thing. | |
| [04:47] <Maxwell6643> lol, yes? | |
| [04:47] <Maxwell6643> Haha, I always reply that. | |
| [04:47] <lc2> in the settings manager, keyboard, layouts tab | |
| [04:47] <Maxwell6643> Yes? | |
| [04:47] <lc2> you must check "use X configuration" | |
| [04:48] <Maxwell6643> Why? | |
| [04:48] <lc2> because otherwise you trigger "send email to the linux kernel mailing list telling them you're planning to fork the kernel" mode | |
| [04:48] <lc2> that, or switching might not work | |
| [04:49] <Maxwell6643> Ohhhh. | |
| [04:49] <Maxwell6643> Mmmmmk. | |
| [04:49] <Maxwell6643> Thank you ^-^ | |
| [04:49] <lc2> most welcome | |
| [04:49] <Maxwell6643> I shall now restart and try this out. | |
| [04:49] <lc2> go for it | |
| [04:49] <lc2> let us know how it went | |
| [04:49] <Maxwell6643> If I am back in five minutes, it didn't work ^-^. | |
| [04:50] <Maxwell6643> Okay, I guess I shall come back one and tell you how it went. | |

| [10:17] <ath_gr> i have already installed xubuntu 6.06 in an older notebook celeron@600+64mb ram. the system is going well, but as i want my little son to play with it i need some games on it. unfortunately 6.06 has no games by default. any idea or hepl hou can i install the games i saw in newer versions? | |
| [10:21] <ablomen> ath_gr, fire up synaptic and select the games and amusement catagory | |
| [10:22] <ablomen> 100s of games in there | |
| [10:22] <TheSheep> ath_gr: you can also check the getdeb.net for more games | |
| [10:23] <TheSheep> the quality varies greatly though | |
| [10:23] <ath_gr> i searched already in that catalogue and i just found a package needed for gnome games. actually i n this category there only 3 packages and the 2 of them they 're already installed | |
| [10:25] <TheSheep> !repositories | |
| [10:25] <ubottu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | |
| [10:26] <TheSheep> ath_gr: enable additional repositories | |
| [10:31] <ath_gr> where can i enable that? the pc is not connected to the net. where from can i downloaded additional repositories? | |
| [10:36] <TheSheep> ath_gr: all packages form ubuntu repositories are available at http://packages.ubuntu.com | |
| [10:39] <ath_gr> thanks. in that link : http://www.getdeb.net/category.php?id=3 i found many games. can i run them under xfce? | |

| [10:59] <TheSheep> alt+f2 and then 'xfce4-panel' | |
| [11:02] <mnemoc> thanks :) | |

| [14:04] <skream> my install keeps freezing after i click 'yes' to partition the drives | |

| [14:05] <ubottu> skream: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | |
| [14:06] <skream> Stroganoff: thatts he version im trying to install | |
| [14:07] <Stroganoff> oh | |
| [14:07] <Stroganoff> are you able to switch to ctrl+alt+f2? | |
| [14:07] <skream> what does that do? | |
| [14:08] <Stroganoff> switches to tty2, containing verbose output | |
| [14:08] <skream> i'll try ttha | |
| [14:08] <skream> if i hit ctrl+c it closes whatever is running i guess and goes t the nexxt screen | |
| [14:08] <Stroganoff> or is it completely frozen.. i.e. numlock doesnt respond | |
| [14:08] <Stroganoff> ok | |
| [14:08] <skream> says "prepring partitioner..." | |
| [14:09] <skream> and gets to 47% and stops everytime | |
| [14:09] <Stroganoff> have a look at /var/log/partman | |
| [14:10] <skream> how do i go bout doing that? | |
| [14:10] <Stroganoff> go to ctrl+alt+f3 | |
| [14:10] <skream> particularly in the middle of the installation | |
| [14:10] <Stroganoff> run this: | |
| [14:10] <Stroganoff> less /var/log/partman | |
| [14:10] <skream> ok, sec | |
| [14:11] <skream> ctrl+alt+f3 just goes to a shell i guess? | |
| [14:11] <Stroganoff> yep | |
| [14:11] <skream> cool, did notknow that | |
| [14:13] <skream> less not found | |
| [14:13] <skream> vi not found | |

| [14:25] <skream> by the way | |
| [14:26] <skream> dunno if this is hepful but my cd drive wont open when i get to this point | |
| [14:35] <Stroganoff> i think that is normal | |
| [14:36] <Stroganoff> anyway you should manage to upload your partman log to pastebin and present it to the guys in #ubuntu | |
| [14:37] <Stroganoff> either use ftp to upload it or manually mount a usb stick and copy it | |
| [14:38] <Stroganoff> or completely different approach: low level format your hard disk with vendor tools and try again :D | |

| [19:20] <lc2> loads almost instantly here | |
| [19:21] <lc2> three questions: 1) have you changed anything? 2) is anything else slow? 3) how fast is your machine? | |
| [19:22] <deniz_ogut> I didn't intendly change anything.I mean: I have installed Fluxbox lately. Nothing else is slow. 256 RAM. | |
| [19:22] <deniz_ogut> Firefox operates slowon my machine but not that much. This is something else. | |
| [19:23] <lc2> so no other sites load slow like that? | |
| [19:23] <deniz_ogut> 10 minutes I say,maybe more. Other pages load in some seconds. | |
| [19:23] <deniz_ogut> no , not that slow. | |
| [19:23] <lc2> okay | |
| [19:23] <lc2> have you tried doing it like, right now? | |
| [19:24] <deniz_ogut> yes,it is loaded now. but if I attempt to reload it,i am sure... | |
| [19:24] <deniz_ogut> i will give a tryif you like. | |
| [19:24] <lc2> give it a shot, make sure it wasn't a temporary problem | |
| [19:25] <deniz_ogut> no its the same. I click an internal link from the main page and it began to "try" again. | |
| [19:25] <lc2> okay, what does it say in the status bar while it's loading? | |
| [19:25] <lc2> "Looking up.." or "Connecting to.."? | |
| [19:25] <deniz_ogut> transferinng data from ubuntuforums.org | |
| [19:26] <lc2> okay, i have no idea what that could be, other than either something wrong in their site or some routing issues with your ISP | |
| [19:26] <deniz_ogut> I can connenct with Dillo uin seconds. | |
| [19:26] <lc2> you might want to try another browser, just to be certain | |
| [19:27] <lc2> try epiphany | |
| [19:27] <deniz_ogut> can it be something remlated with some kind of flash thing? | |
| [19:27] <deniz_ogut> epiphany is similar to firefox. | |
| [19:27] <lc2> it is, that's why i suggested trying it | |
| [19:27] <deniz_ogut> it is... in which way? | |
| [19:28] <lc2> it uses the same rendering engine, the reason you should try using it is because then you can see if it's an issue with some firefox setting or other | |
| [19:28] <deniz_ogut> but not such a problem for other flash sites. | |
| [19:28] <deniz_ogut> epiphany is the same. | |
| [19:29] <deniz_ogut> their site should be OK because you can connect easily. | |
| [19:29] <lc2> except if you use epiphany, you can find out if it's a bug with a plugin/extension/setting/whatever | |
| [19:29] <lc2> just do it, plox | |
| [19:29] <deniz_ogut> anyway. thanks a lot. I took your time. | |
| [19:30] <deniz_ogut> plugins,extensions.... ok,i will check. thanks again. | |
| [19:30] <lc2> kay | |

| [20:18] <spasticteapot> Any Xubuntu devs here? | |
| [20:19] <spasticteapot> I just tried Xubuntu 8.04 - it looks terrific! | |
| [20:19] <lc2> it is awesome. | |
| [20:19] <spasticteapot> I am having a few hiccups, though. | |
| [20:19] * lc2 isn't a dev. | |
| [20:19] <lc2> but i might be able to help | |
| [20:20] <spasticteapot> I just wanted to let the devs know they did a good job. | |
| [20:20] <spasticteapot> lc2: I'm connnected to a wifi network with decent signal strength, but the speed is astronomically slow. | |
| [20:20] <lc2> ohnoes. | |
| [20:21] <spasticteapot> ...and now it works. | |
| [20:21] <lc2> define "astronomically slow | |
| [20:21] <lc2> +" | |
| [20:21] <spasticteapot> That's odd. | |
| [20:21] <lc2> wait what | |
| [20:21] <spasticteapot> lc2: Google took nearly a minute to load. | |
| [20:21] <spasticteapot> Google! | |
| [20:21] <lc2> well, wtf | |
| [20:21] <spasticteapot> Huh. | |
| [20:21] <spasticteapot> That said, the system instantly recognized TWO wifi cards the old one would not - and they required no configuration. | |
| [20:21] <spasticteapot> Just plug & play! | |
| [20:21] <spasticteapot> And the wifi manager actually works. | |
| [20:22] <lc2> ! | |
| [20:22] <lc2> ftw | |
| [20:22] <spasticteapot> And it seems to be faster than the old version - it's quite usable on a P3-550. | |
| [20:22] <lc2> except firefox ;( | |
| [20:22] <lc2> but even firefox is faster | |
| [20:22] <spasticteapot> IMO, Xubuntu has always been a bit rough around the edges...until now. | |
| [20:22] <spasticteapot> lc2: Firefox runs A-OK. | |
| [20:22] <spasticteapot> ...of course, I'm only using one tab. | |
| [20:22] <spasticteapot> Any recommendations on a replacement driver? | |
| [20:23] <lc2> i haven't a clue | |
| [20:23] <spasticteapot> I'm also going to try the miscellaneous speed tweaks - most of which, IIRC, involve disabling GNOME bits that run in the background. | |
| [20:23] <spasticteapot> Ack...brain fart. | |
| [20:23] * lc2 knows nothing about wireless, and has just come from freebsd so knows only marginally more than nothing about the linux kernel | |
| [20:23] <spasticteapot> Replacement browser. | |
| [20:23] <lc2> oh! | |
| [20:23] <lc2> sorry | |
| [20:23] <lc2> umm, try epiphany | |
| [20:24] <zoredache> you might also look at midori. it is a webkit based browser | |
| [20:24] <spasticteapot> Ah..wait. | |
| [20:24] <spasticteapot> Kahehakaze. | |
| [20:24] <spasticteapot> I like that one. | |
| [20:24] <spasticteapot> The spelling...not so much. | |
| [20:25] <lc2> kazahekase? | |
| [20:25] <spasticteapot> Kazehakase? | |
| [20:25] <lc2> some shit like that | |
| [20:25] <spasticteapot> Yah. | |
| [20:25] <spasticteapot> Japanese names are not so easy to spell without the kanji. | |
| [20:25] <spasticteapot> That said, I'm astounded that there aren't any Japanese-specific linux distros. | |
| [20:26] <lc2> there may well be | |
| [20:26] <spasticteapot> Japan has 1/2 the population of the U.S...and a far larger number of technophiles. | |
| [20:26] <spasticteapot> lc2: I'm a linux n00b, but I did not see any on Distrowatch. | |
| [20:27] <lc2> spasticteapot: i can't imagine that there is not one | |
| [20:27] <spasticteapot> lc2: I'm guessing that the japanese translation of Ubuntu is spot-on. | |
| [20:28] <lc2> quite possibly | |
| [20:28] <spasticteapot> Wow...9 kB/second. | |
| [20:28] <lc2> ! | |
| [20:28] <spasticteapot> Somethings fishy with my wifi connection | |
| [20:28] <lc2> haha | |
| [20:28] <lc2> yeah there is | |
| [20:29] <spasticteapot> 964 bytes/second. | |
| [20:29] <spasticteapot> WTF? | |
| [20:29] <spasticteapot> At least now it's back up to 25 kilobytes/second. | |
| [20:29] <spasticteapot> I never thought I'd be happy about that. | |
| [20:30] <spasticteapot> ...aaand it stopped. | |
| [20:30] <lc2> spasticteapot: ! :\ | |
| [20:31] <spasticteapot> Hmm. | |
| [20:31] <spasticteapot> Gimme a sec...need to go fiddle with something. | |
| [20:32] <lc2> hokay | |
| [20:32] <lc2> hb | |
| [20:39] <spastic_teapot> lc2: Hola! | |
| [20:40] <spastic_teapot> Well, the good news is that I no longer have a problem with connection speed. | |
| [20:40] <lc2> spastic_teapot: ahoy | |
| [20:40] <lc2> spastic_teapot: good! | |
| [20:40] <lc2> what did you do? | |
| [20:40] <spastic_teapot> The bad news is that this is because I no longer have a @#$@#$ connection. | |
| [20:40] <spastic_teapot> :P | |
| [20:40] <lc2> oh shi- | |
| [20:40] <spastic_teapot> Ha. Ha. | |
| [20:41] <spastic_teapot> It's just the Xubuntu box. | |
| [20:41] <lc2> what did you do to break it? | |
| [20:41] <spastic_teapot> Tried to connect to a different wifi network. | |
| [20:41] <lc2> oh. | |
| [20:41] <spastic_teapot> I managed to download half of package lists....and now it's stopped again. | |
| [20:42] <lc2> .. :( | |
| [20:42] <spastic_teapot> That's odd..... | |
| [20:42] <spastic_teapot> Firefox still works. | |
| [20:43] <zoredache> are you sure it isn't being slow on the server-side? | |
| [20:43] <spastic_teapot> Nope. | |
| [20:43] <spastic_teapot> Every time I try to download, the internet craps out. | |
| [20:43] <spastic_teapot> @#$@$##@$! | |
| [20:43] <lc2> :( | |
| [20:44] <spastic_teapot> It's like demonic clockwork. | |
| [20:44] <spastic_teapot> Or, for BSD, daemonic clockwork. | |
| [20:44] <spastic_teapot> :P | |
| [20:44] <lc2> don't mention that name in my presence again | |
| [20:44] <spastic_teapot> ?? | |
| [20:44] * lc2 seriously hates BSD, and the horse it rode in on. | |
| [20:45] <spastic_teapot> Really? | |
| [20:45] <spastic_teapot> Explain. | |
| [20:46] <lc2> i got tired of how horribly buggy it was | |
| [20:46] * lc2 was using freebsd before xubuntu | |
| [20:46] <spastic_teapot> That's why I asked. | |
| [20:46] <spastic_teapot> I do note that Linux has greater compatibility, and many more versions. | |
| [20:47] <lc2> my favourite bug: try to unmount a USB mass storage device in freebsd after you have unplugged it | |
| [20:47] <spastic_teapot> There's Linux for cheap old rubbish PCs, Linux for multichannel audio recording, Linux for firewalls, Linux for christian fundies.... | |
| [20:47] <spastic_teapot> lc2: Oh dear. | |
| [20:47] <lc2> spastic_teapot: sometimes it refused to, sometimes it meant instant death and a kernel panic | |
| [20:47] <spastic_teapot> Of course, any PROFICIENT BSD user would have his own shell script to do that. For each of his flash drives. | |
| [20:47] <spastic_teapot> Oh my. | |
| [20:48] <zoredache> lc2: just don't disconnect drives before they are unmounted... | |
| [20:48] <lc2> zoredache: that means that there is *no way* to make things "just work" when you plug/unplug them | |
| [20:48] <lc2> you have to manually unmount drives | |
| [20:48] <lc2> hello, welcome to the late 20th century, we have this cool thing called "USB" | |
| [20:49] <zoredache> lc2: that isn't true... you can setup autofs to automatically mount your usb devices and unmount after a few minutes | |
| [20:49] <lc2> zoredache: what if you plugged it in for a few minutes then unplugged it before autofs unmounted it? | |
| [20:49] <lc2> the point is you shouldn't have to do shit like that | |
| [20:50] <spastic_teapot> lc2: Can't you do all that USB nonsense with some serial ports and a hot-swap SCSI setup? | |
| [20:50] <spastic_teapot> :P | |
| [20:50] <zoredache> how can you be sure the filesystem is in a clean state? | |
| [20:50] <lc2> zoredache: somehow, microsoft have managed to do it | |
| [20:50] <lc2> correction, microsoft managed to do it ten years ago* | |
| [20:51] <zoredache> on microsoft you need to click the 'safely remove hardware' icon | |
| [20:51] <spastic_teapot> lc2: He's right. | |
| [20:51] <spastic_teapot> It's more or less the same on both. | |
| [20:51] <zoredache> or else you can trash your filesystem | |
| [20:52] <lc2> zoredache: the point is, it doesn't crash the operating system | |
| === |hfsdo| is now known as hfsdo | |
| [20:52] <lc2> "you shouldn't do that" is not the same thing as "you deserve to have your operating system crash on you" | |
| [20:52] <zoredache> yeah, I will agree a kernel crash on a missing device is bad thing | |
| [20:53] <zoredache> but you can get the same behavior on Linuux with mounted samba share and pulling the network cable in some conditions | |
| [20:53] <lc2> mkay | |
| [20:54] <zoredache> anywho... | |
| [20:55] <spastic_teapot> Xubuntu - it is made of WIN! | |
| [20:55] <lc2> it is. | |
| [21:01] <Qkall> hi i thought i fixed this problem yesterday... however i didn't | |
| [21:01] <Qkall> Odd-rationale: helped me, alas same problem | |
| [21:01] <Qkall> xfce4-session isn't starting by default... | |
| [22:28] <floating> is it possible to autologin to xubuntu without inserting name/pass | |
| [22:29] <TheSheep> floating: yes, set it in settings->login window | |
| [22:38] <greg_> where is rest of xorg.conf? | |
| [22:38] <TheSheep> greg_: falls back to defaults | |
| [22:39] <TheSheep> greg_: use 'sudo displayconfig-gtk' to edit it | |
| [22:39] <greg_> so i gotta manually add modules section? | |
| [22:39] <TheSheep> if you need any non-standard modules, yes | |
| [22:40] <floating> thxhx | |
| [22:41] <greg_> wat driver can i use for 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) ? | |
| [22:42] <TheSheep> greg_: Intel | |
| [22:42] <greg_> there are couple intel | |
| [22:42] <TheSheep> no, there are i810, i-something else, etc., but there is only one 'intel' | |
| [22:43] <greg_> intel expiramental? | |
| [22:44] <TheSheep> greg_: yup | |
| [22:47] <greg_> TheSheep, nows theres lines on screen | |
| [22:48] <TheSheep> :( | |
| [22:49] <greg_> any other drivers i can try? | |
| [22:49] <TheSheep> greg_: I have a similar card and it works for me | |
| [22:49] <TheSheep> greg_: I never tried any others | |
| [22:49] <greg_> want screen shot? | |
| [22:49] <TheSheep> greg_: but I guess it won't hurt? | |
| [23:00] <greg_> TheSheep, they all fail | |
| [23:09] <lc2> does anyone use rhythmbox here? | |
| [23:09] <Odd-rationale> lc2: i do sort of... | |
| [23:10] <lc2> Odd-rationale: where the hell is the stop button? :\ | |
| [23:10] <Odd-rationale> lc2: the same as play... | |
| [23:10] <lc2> Odd-rationale: stop = pause? | |
| [23:10] <lc2> :\ | |
| [23:10] <Odd-rationale> yeah, pretty much... | |
| [23:10] <lc2> okay, that fails | |
| [23:11] <greg_> TheSheep, its all messed up now | |
| [23:11] <Odd-rationale> i find it is ok... | |
| [23:11] <greg_> how do i fix? | |
| [23:11] <Odd-rationale> to play or not to play. simple as that... ;) | |
| [23:36] <lc2> rhythmbox officiall fails | |
| [23:36] <lc2> and now i'm going! | |
| [23:36] <lc2> :D | |
| [23:46] <WaxyFresh> Hi how do i search for things in xubuntu | |
| [23:46] <zoredache> what type of things? | |
| [23:46] <WaxyFresh> a single file | |
| [23:47] <TheSheep> you click on the loup icon next to the clock | |
| [23:47] <zoredache> I use the 'locate' command in a terminal... | |
| [23:47] <WaxyFresh> whats it called ill have to add it back i think i removed it | |
| [23:47] <TheSheep> tracker | |
| [23:47] <WaxyFresh> locate filename? | |
| [23:48] <TheSheep> it's in autostarted applications | |
| [23:48] <TheSheep> ah, you can also use locate or find from the command line | |
| [23:48] <TheSheep> see 'man locate' and 'man find' for details | |
| [23:50] <zoredache> TheSheep: is tracker something you installed? I am not seeing anything by that name on my system and I have a fairly clean install | |
| [23:51] <TheSheep> I'm not sure, I know it was installed by default at some stage, but it might have been alpha or beta version then | |
| [23:51] <TheSheep> it's installed by default in ubuntu | |
| [23:53] <WaxyFresh> i think i disabled it on mine. | |
| [23:54] <WaxyFresh> im not finding it,and teh man pages boggle my mind. how do i use locate/find to search entire path and all its subdirectoys? | |
| [23:55] <zoredache> WaxyFresh: it has to build the index first... (run sudo updatedb) | |
| [23:56] <zoredache> another slow way to find things would be to use the find command e.g find / -type f -name '*.mp3' | |
| [23:57] <WaxyFresh> zoredache: thanks the file in my case is asms so i would type find / -type f -asma ? | |
| [23:59] <zoredache> asms? is that the exact filename? if yes then find / -type f -name 'asms'. if you are looking for files with the .asm extention it would be find / -type f -name '*.asm' | |
