| [00:00] <Geodude> Thanks :) | |
| [00:00] <holstein> i would confirm the iso image, just to be sure | |
| [00:00] <holstein> philipballew: if its a different version, it could be graphics driver related | |
| [00:01] <philipballew> alright. the laptop is like 5 years old | |
| [00:01] <holstein> might need 'nomodeset' or whatever safe grahpics more | |
| [00:01] <holstein> mode* | |
| [00:01] <philipballew> half gig ram | |
| [00:01] <holstein> thats plenty | |
| [00:01] <holstein> just wont matter if the drivers are funny | |
| [00:01] <philipballew> xubuntu 10.04 installed just fine | |
| [00:01] <holstein> and i dont mean 'ha-ha' funny ;p | |
| [00:05] <philipballew> i like funny drivers | |
| [00:05] <philipballew> they help pass the time! | |
| [00:05] <holstein> Geodude: you used wicd? | |
| [00:06] <holstein> or more precisely, wicd-curses ? | |
| [00:06] <holstein> not sure if thats what you are looking for at all, but its something ive been meaning to look into | |
| [00:06] <Geodude> Not sure what that is. /googles | |
| [00:07] <Geodude> /installs | |
| [00:09] <philipballew> holstein, ill make a usb install. less chance of error | |
| [00:11] <holstein> philipballew: pretty easy to hop around too | |
| [00:11] <holstein> once you get installed... lubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop... whatever | |
| [00:21] <Geodude> holstein: wicd isn't showing me wireless signal or quality. It does show the signal strength percentage, but not in an indicator applet (that I can see?). | |
| [00:22] <Geodude> I'm looking for something that shows:Quality=56/70 Signal level=-54 dBm | |
| [00:23] <holstein> Geodude: is that wicd? or the curses one? | |
| [00:23] <Geodude> wicd. wicd-curses gives me screens and screens of errors. | |
| [00:23] <holstein> i was hoping there would be something in the terminal that would be update-able | |
| [00:23] <holstein> Geodude: :/ | |
| [00:24] <holstein> Geodude: maybe some desktop widget | |
| [00:25] <holstein> Geodude: HEY... im thinking conky... http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-563401.html wireless_link_qual net Wireless link quality (Linux only) im particular | |
| [00:25] <holstein> in particular* | |
| [00:25] <holstein> conky is just fun anyways, i stopped using it because i *cannot* stop playing with it | |
| [00:51] <thewrath> hey is anyone in here | |

| [12:12] <_B_> Hi all, what is broadcast messaging & why is it enable by default ? | |
| [12:14] <_B_> Is broadcast messaging just for Twitter & Facebook so I can disable it if I don't use that ? | |

| [16:50] <FoxtrotZero> Perhaps someone can help me? | |
| [16:51] <FoxtrotZero> I tried to install Ubuntu (with the Windows installer) which idn't give me any trouble, but I can't figure out how to start my computer using Ubuntu... | |
| [16:52] <FoxtrotZero> There is no menu screen on startup, like the install page illustrates | |
| [16:53] <E3D3> What is the use of mounting archives like rar & zip ? I always have to reconfigurate that and am curious about what you can do with it ? | |
| [16:59] <E3D3> Solved | |
| [17:03] <geirha> Huh? you can mount rar and zip archives? | |
| [17:13] <E3D3> I don't see mounted archives appear in Dolphin's 'places'-panel. How/were can I see mounted archives in Dolphin file-manager? | |
| [17:17] <Brutus-> E3D3, what do you mean with mounted archives? Can an archive be monted? | |
| [17:18] <E3D3> Brutus-: Yes. Rightclick on an archive should give that option. Here its default. | |
| [17:18] <E3D3> With it you can use it as a folder in Nautilus | |
| [17:18] <IAmNotThatGuy> E3D3, I think you opened it with Archive Mounter | |
| [17:19] <E3D3> Yes, but doesn't mounted whatevers show up in Dolpin ? | |
| [17:20] <E3D3> Okay, I beter should read about Archive manager instead of dolphin. Sorry | |
| [17:20] <E3D3> archive mounter | |
| [17:21] <E3D3> No, I should not, I did (a little) I think it has to do with dolphin | |
| [17:22] <IAmNotThatGuy> E3D3, Try running sudo mount -o loop file.zip /mnt | |
| [17:23] <IAmNotThatGuy> I got a link http://clouddenizen.com/2010/03/13/archive-mounter-in-ubuntu-tip-of-the-day/ | |
| [17:23] <IAmNotThatGuy> idk why it is not showing in dolphin. Try that and that might work | |
| [17:24] <E3D3> You are great, thanks, I will read it. | |
| [17:24] <Brutus-> so tender | |
| [17:35] <E3D3> IAmNotThatGuy: Thanks for helping. | |
| [17:35] <IAmNotThatGuy> No Prob | |
| [17:35] <IAmNotThatGuy> :D late as usual :P | |
