| 07:33.06 | clutch | does anyone(if anyone is awake) know if it is possible to specify a screen resolution with ubuntu? I am using an lcd hdtv that is in wide screen format with a native resolution of 1280x768 and the only x768 resolution I found was 1020x768 |
| 07:40.31 | burnthegreat | try installing the drivers for your video card |
| 07:40.47 | burnthegreat | then see if you can select your resolution |
| 07:41.09 | burnthegreat | if not you get to edit your xorg.conf by hand |
| 07:44.30 | clutch | I installed the nvidia updated drivers and it has every option except resolution |
| 07:49.12 | clutch | I just installed ubuntu on my laptop the same way I did on my desktop earlier and in the process of updating. crap there are a lot of updates. I think I like linux:) |
| 07:50.03 | fizz | irssi=your best friend :) |
| 07:50.11 | burnthegreat | lol |
| 07:50.13 | burnthegreat | yes it is |
| 07:50.26 | clutch | I'll brb I have to restart after updating but I would like to chat about how to edit xorg.conf |
| 07:50.36 | clutch | when I get back |
| 07:50.50 | clutch | what is irssi? |
| 07:51.38 | fizz | the coolest way to use irc. |
| 07:51.41 | burnthegreat | it is a irc client that is awesome with screen |
| 07:52.07 | clutch | should I get it? |
| 07:52.59 | fizz | if you have a good server to run it on. do a little research on it, see if it's for you. |
| 07:53.22 | fizz | i'm totally gay for it though. so my opinion is "yes" |
| 07:54.45 | clutch | I think I should have gotten nubuntu being like a 6 year old kid in kindergarten with linux |
| 07:55.31 | fizz | heh n00buntu. i think i need me some of that. learning at a faster pace is way more fun though. |
| 07:56.14 | clutch | although I have only played with it today and already recommended it to my mom:-P |
| 07:56.14 | fizz | ubuntu is about as easy as it gets though. you'll love it. |
| 07:57.25 | clutch | yeah.... it was way easy to set up my wi-fi connection on my laptop for updates |
| 07:58.00 | clutch | hell of a lot easier than it was with winblows |
| 07:58.10 | fizz | lucky! heh. i didn't have much luck on either of my laptops with wifi |

| 08:06.04 | fizz | so is this your first time with any linux distro? |
| 08:07.04 | clutch | sort of |

| 08:09.45 | clutch | I got a ps3 for xmas and as soon as I found out I could put another OS on it I started looking. I got yellow dog linux at the end of december but at the time I had a standard tv and spent 8 hours trying to mod linux to work because it was supposed to run in a min of 780p |
| 08:10.36 | clutch | when I got it modded for 480p it looked like crap so I left it alone till last week when I got my lcd hdtv |
| 08:11.40 | fizz | i've used a few distros. ubuntu is just so... comfy. |
| 08:11.55 | clutch | originally I was going to get yellow dog linux for my pc so I could get used to it there then be more efficient with my ps3 |
| 08:12.37 | fizz | feisty fawn beta gave me a bit of crap instaaling though. all of the previous ubuntu distros i have used have been super swell though. |
| 08:13.07 | fizz | if you listen to music alot on your computer i must suggest exaile. |
| 08:14.30 | clutch | but I messed up the iso disk burn and thought it was the download that was bad. My dad(who hasn't used linux since suze heard of ubuntu and suggested I try it and here I am. Cool I was wondering about a good music program for linux, I use winamp with windows2000 |
| 08:15.00 | fizz | try exaile ASAP. it is amazing. |
| 08:15.17 | fizz | burnthegreat can attest to that as well. |
| 08:15.20 | burnthegreat | it is pretty good |
| 08:15.51 | clutch | I can just copy my mp3s to my linux partition as is right? |
| 08:15.53 | burnthegreat | I have some sugestions for synic but I dont want to trouble him |
| 08:16.12 | fizz | burn: do a feature request ticket |
| 08:16.44 | burnthegreat | I think I might |
| 08:16.46 | fizz | at HQ this weekend i found out exaile doesn't have ipod support in gentoo |
| 08:17.08 | fizz | there isn't a pkg for python-gpod |
| 08:17.22 | burnthegreat | yes there is |
| 08:17.24 | burnthegreat | gtkpod |
| 08:17.45 | fizz | gtkpod isn't the exaile plugin ;) |
| 08:18.07 | burnthegreat | errr my bad |
| 08:18.14 | burnthegreat | sorry I am a bit drunk right now |
| 08:18.19 | fizz | i know this. |
| 08:18.34 | burnthegreat | I am sure you do. |
| 08:18.46 | burnthegreat | you saw me out drink the bar tender on his day off |
| 08:19.17 | fizz | this is a discussion better suited for #purg |
| 08:19.33 | burnthegreat | agreed |
| 08:20.10 | clutch | where do I get exaile? |
| 08:20.19 | fizz | exaile.org |
| 08:20.35 | fizz | also i think you can just: sudo apt-get install exaile |
| 08:23.23 | fizz | if that command doesn't work there are detailed instrustions on the website |
| 08:23.45 | clutch | what is with the "sudo" command ? everything seems to use it |
| 08:25.29 | fizz | sudo = su (super user) do |
| 08:25.41 | clutch | oh |
| 08:26.06 | burnthegreat | I suggenst running linux by orielley |
| 08:26.07 | clutch | have either of you tried installing the beryl package? |
| 08:26.18 | burnthegreat | one of the best linux books ever. |
| 08:26.23 | fizz | <3 beryl. |
| 08:26.45 | burnthegreat | beryl is nice but i have had some problems with it. |
| 08:26.58 | fizz | i can be a bit of a chore to setup sometimes. |
| 08:27.05 | clutch | I tried installing it earlier on my desktop and had problems |
| 08:27.06 | fizz | if you get it working it is win++ |
| 08:27.27 | burnthegreat | well time for drunking sleep. night |
| 08:27.34 | fizz | night burn |
| 08:27.40 | clutch | later |
| 08:28.03 | clutch | I think my problem was with the PGP thing |
| 08:28.29 | fizz | what type of video card are you running? |
| 08:29.19 | clutch | nvidia geforce 128mb onboard |
| 08:29.34 | clutch | I think it's the fx7200 |
| 08:30.12 | clutch | but my laptop is just onboard video, will it run beryl? |
| 08:30.18 | fizz | look in beryl's docs or just do a google search for getting beryl to work with that. |
| 08:30.28 | fizz | i run beryl on one of my laptops |
| 08:31.14 | clutch | I think it would have been fine but the way their site lists the instructions was a little confusing |
| 08:31.55 | fizz | it can be. i suggest running ubuntu for a month or 2 more and getting used to the way things work and then trying to get beryl again. |
| 08:32.06 | clutch | where it lists what code to add to the source.list file it doesn't say when to stop adding it |
| 08:32.29 | clutch | alright |
| 08:33.45 | fizz | i do recommend trying it again though. try doing a google search for another install guide. there may be a guide that is easier to follow. |
| 08:33.50 | clutch | will there ever be anything on linux similar to what OS X lets you do with win programs? |
| 08:34.08 | fizz | such as running a wondows program in linux? |
| 08:34.21 | fizz | *windows |
| 08:34.28 | clutch | yeah, almost any program |
| 08:34.38 | fizz | read up on "wine" |
| 08:35.12 | fizz | also if you are talking more along the lines of games you may want to check out "cedega" |
| 08:35.38 | clutch | I'm not interested in any microsoft programs but if I could run all my third party programs I would ditch windows in the speed of a fart |
| 08:36.26 | fizz | most of your third party software will have an open source alternative though. |
| 08:36.32 | fizz | still read up on wine. |
| 08:36.55 | clutch | I really hope linux keeps growing and more developers start creating stuff for linux |
| 08:37.51 | clutch | mostly I want to be able to run stuff like macromedia dreamweaver and flash |
| 08:38.18 | clutch | as well as a few games like magic online |
| 08:38.48 | fizz | i don't use those so i couldn't tell ya. google knows more about that than me. |
| 08:39.31 | fizz | i'm a stupid jerk and i do all of my web design in a text editor. |
| 08:39.35 | fizz | heh |
| 08:40.26 | fizz | well it is time for me to go to sleep. good luck with your new system. |
| 08:40.32 | clutch | does exaile run in 64 bit ubuntu? I just got a wrong build i386 error |
| 08:41.09 | clutch | thanks and have a good night. I'm sure you will see me around |
| 08:41.14 | fizz | oh, 64bit. hrm. check the webpage. or if you ask me tomorrow i will ask the developer about it. |
| 08:41.27 | clutch | cool, see ya |

| 20:34.56 | atoponce | :) |
| 20:35.14 | atoponce | you should check out irssi, then all you have to do is pull up your ssh client |
| 20:36.03 | atoponce | that is, if you have access to an ssh server |

| 21:29.07 | Epic720Admin | Does anyone know how to make a 100% transparent terminal? |
| 21:29.53 | burnthegreat | are you using gnome? |
| 21:30.00 | Epic720Admin | yes |
| 21:30.09 | burnthegreat | open up a term |
| 21:30.25 | Epic720Admin | ok |
| 21:30.30 | burnthegreat | right click in the window |
| 21:30.38 | burnthegreat | click edit current profile |
| 21:31.00 | burnthegreat | go to the effects tab |
| 21:31.29 | burnthegreat | mark the transparent bubble and decide what transparency you want |
| 21:31.46 | Epic720Admin | yeah.... but that doesn't really make it transparent... |
| 21:32.00 | Epic720Admin | is there any way to get a 100% transparent terminal? |
| 21:32.15 | burnthegreat | move the bar below it all the way to the left |
| 21:33.12 | Epic720Admin | I did |
| 21:33.48 | burnthegreat | are you talking about the window frame? |
| 21:34.32 | Epic720Admin | no, like, if I have IRC or firefox up behind the terminal, I want to see them through terminal |
| 21:34.39 | Epic720Admin | 100% transparent... |
| 21:35.17 | burnthegreat | so you want to see the window behind it and not the background? |
| 21:35.34 | Epic720Admin | yes |
| 21:36.25 | burnthegreat | i believe beryl will give you that option |
| 21:36.42 | burnthegreat | and i think it is turned on right out of the box |
| 21:36.54 | Epic720Admin | but isn't beryl pretty intense, I am running a server and don't want to load it up... |
| 21:37.09 | burnthegreat | it is |
| 21:37.16 | {phoenyx} | beryl make everything transparent, iirc |
| 21:37.20 | burnthegreat | i believe that is your only option |
| 21:37.36 | burnthegreat | that i know of |
| 21:37.46 | burnthegreat | i believe it is a gnome limitation |
| 21:37.54 | {phoenyx} | not just the background; text, frame, everything |
| 21:38.01 | clutch | I started messing with beryl again and have gotten further than last time but still have some problems |
| 21:38.13 | Epic720Admin | ok. |
| 21:38.26 | fizz | hey burn. remember that error while loading ubuntu that you had earlier this week? |
| 21:38.38 | burnthegreat | yes sir |
| 21:38.48 | {phoenyx} | yeah, beryl makes everything transparent, not just the background |
| 21:38.54 | fizz | after last night's update i am having the same error. |
| 21:39.17 | burnthegreat | haha |
| 21:39.23 | clutch | what do you guys make of this? GPG error: http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3FF0DB166A7476EA |
| 21:39.31 | burnthegreat | reinstall grub |
| 21:39.44 | {phoenyx} | clutch: are you trying it on a widescreen? I've gotten it working on regular resolutions, but not on widescreen resolutions |
| 21:39.59 | burnthegreat | umm but you have to boot into a live cd and chroot your self into your system tree |
| 21:40.00 | clutch | no, this is on my laptop |
| 21:40.43 | burnthegreat | fizz: give me 5 min and i will write the commands up for you |
| 21:41.11 | fizz | thank you |
| 21:41.38 | burnthegreat | but you have to give people a hard time for not letting me go camping with them |

| 21:45.07 | clutch | that is the site I was using, the "wget" command seemed to work right, but that error happened when I did the apt-get update |
| 21:45.20 | clutch | and I got another error with the install |
| 22:20.51 | clutch | I think I got it..... maybe |
| 22:22.12 | clutch | I have kind of an off the wall issue. on my laptop the power management that tells me how much life is in my battery seems to be backwards |
| 22:23.22 | clutch | when I unplug it with a full charge it says that my battery is dangerously low and I have 3 minutes of power left while telling me I have a 100% charge |
| 22:23.40 | maquis | clutch: does it count up from there? |
| 22:23.47 | maquis | or does it die after 3 minuteS? |
| 22:28.55 | clutch | it doesn't die after 3 mins, now it says 1 hour 47 minutes (91%) |
| 22:30.01 | clutch | why can't I edit xorg.conf? when I open it with gedit it shows as a blank file |
| 22:30.26 | clutch | when I close it it asks if I want to save the changes I didn't make |
| 22:31.59 | maquis | have you tried any other editors? |
| 22:32.08 | maquis | oh |
| 22:32.13 | maquis | and... are you trying to edit it as root? |
| 22:32.23 | clutch | I think so |
| 22:32.29 | maquis | sudo <editor> /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
| 22:32.44 | clutch | gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
| 22:32.53 | maquis | i'm not quitesure what gksudo is |
| 22:32.54 | clutch | is what the site told me to put in |
| 22:33.11 | maquis | try sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
| 22:34.43 | {phoenyx} | ah |
| 22:34.56 | {phoenyx} | a graphical frontend for gnome |
| 22:36.18 | {phoenyx} | e.g. that window that pops up when you want to run synaptic |
| 22:37.07 | {phoenyx} | s/for gnome/for sudo in gnome |
| 22:37.24 | clutch | aha nano runs in the terminal and I think the gksudo was messing me up |
| 22:38.26 | *** part/#ubuntu-utah {phoenyx} (n=tthorley@64.147.152.13) |
| 22:41.43 | clutch | with nano it lists the file at the top and is blank till the bottom and at the bottom it says "[ New File ]" and has a bunch of commands after that |
| 22:42.03 | clutch | is it possible that I don't have the xorg.conf file? |

| 23:20.17 | undertakingyou | isn't it supposed to be 'fglrx'?? |
| 23:23.16 | clutch | probably but whatever it is I can't change it if I can't edit xorg.conf |
