[02:13] What is causing this? [02:13] I have it set to the correct resolution. [02:17] I see the default depth is 16 for nv driver and 24 for the nvidia. Not sure that matters. [02:18] The glx mod is loaded, but that looks like the only difference. [03:19] do you use firestarter? how and what do i add policies . . .

[04:13] anyone know how to get gedit to open/save ftp files? i already added ftp to the available vfs points in gconf-editor [04:13] I have libgnomevfs2-bin [04:13] but i still can't file, open, and type an ftp;// location [04:52] hey can someone tell me what program is pulled up when you run applications > settings > login window [04:53] I seem to have deleted that entry from menu :( [04:56] What's the command to bring up a printer manager? [04:56] Is there one for xubuntu? [05:01] octoberdan: umm applications> settings> printing [05:01] do you mean like a systray icon? [05:02] gerro: gdmsetup [05:03] I meant more a wizard for adding printers, if there is one or one I could install [05:03] and the command that would start it [05:03] sudo apt-get install gnome-cups-manager && gnome-cups-manager [05:03] Problem solved, thank you [05:04] Ha!

[09:14] anyway some new feature got thrown into 7.10 recently and I need the newer bios update "prevents random power offs" just like all the windows users do now too [09:19] nvm I'm using this flash drive perhaps I can get something working like that [09:29] I honestly don't know./ [09:44] Zombie: no prob I found my usb stick so I'll do it that way [09:44] Anyone familiar with lockup issues under Ubuntu Gutsy if LDAP is enabled in nsswitch? [10:55] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=642887 anybody know why that happen? [15:00] Hi, this might be pretty stupid question, but anyway, xubuntu is free for persons, but is it also free for companies? Or does it need license? [15:00] nvm57, yes, free of charge for everyone [15:01] so there isn't any smallprind anywhere? : ) [15:01] *smallprint [15:01] Nope :) [15:01] thank you : ) [15:01] Well, technically, if you were going to make your own versions there are things to keep in mind, but not for using it ;-) [15:02] There is small print if you modify it and redistribute it commercially I believe [15:02] Usual GPL stuff [15:02] oki [15:02] thegeeker, yeah, and then you have to keep *all* the different licenses in mind, blabla...

[16:03] peterpan_, yeah well, if you use Kubuntu then #kubuntu is probably the best place to ask, and perhaps #kdetv and #mythtv exist too [16:03] peterpan_, there's also the Mythbuntu distribution [16:04] k [16:04] mythbuntu.. whats that [16:05] peterpan_, http://www.mythbuntu.org/ [16:05] An Ubuntu derivative with MythTV [16:06] thx [16:08] ic [16:11] good day!

[16:16] bart1105, VLC's wiki says it can play them, but includes special instructions, have you followed those? http://wiki.videolan.org/VCD [16:17] not yet. its beem more than a week with no net connection for me.. i'll check it. thanks [16:17] bart1105, it says "you can play a VCD in VLC by selecting Open Disc from the File menu, and selecting the VCD option. " [16:18] i did that and it won't play [16:18] bart1105, and from a terminal window: "vlc vcd:///dev/dvd" [16:18] i'll try the terminal.. [16:20] Gotta go, good luck [16:21] ok thanx [16:41] hello [16:41] anyone ??? [16:42] IS ANYONE ONLINE ?????? [16:43] hello ??? [16:44] i need some help with my video card driver [16:44] is anyone online ???? [16:44] alguien conectado ? [17:59] how to use my tv card (alpha tv tuner card) ? http://pastebin.ca/822256 [18:29] whats a good torrent program for Xubuntu [18:30] if you can live with the command line, then bittornado is nice [18:31] i like command line. is the man page on it pretty informative? [18:32] the manpage is pretty informative... [18:32] deluge isn't bad either [18:33] usually I make a directory /var/torrents, and then run 'btlaunchmanycurses.bittornado --max_upload_rate 100 /var/torrents' inside screen [18:33] all I have to do is save the .torrent files in /var/torrents, and remove them from that folder when things are done [18:33] nice [18:34] downloading bittornado and deluge now. think ill play with them both and see which one i like better [18:38] I've tried them both and ended up going back to using utorrent under wine. [18:38] downloading? bittornado is avialable in apt... [18:43] evil_tech: I've tried them both and went back to using utorrent under wine. [18:48] i like azureus but its a mem hog [18:49] deluge seems to be working fine for so far [19:19] hello [19:19] hi [19:49] i compiled the kernel and now the cpu usage is at 100% no matter what [19:49] ha [19:49] it boots up faster, but seems to run slower [19:50] well you broke something... now you have to figure out what [19:50] yep [19:50] did you compile it the debian way? [19:50] well, i'll just make some subtle changes here and there [19:50] make-kpkg [19:50] yeah [19:51] i ran dpkg, etc [19:51] did you stick with the source from the repository, or go from something new off kernel.org? [19:52] i got 2.6.23 from kernel.org [19:52] and copied the .config file from /boot [19:52] I suspect if it was me, I would have used the same configuration file and made a kernel and tested before I made changes [19:52] right now you don't know if your problem is the changes you made, or the new kernel [19:53] yeah [19:53] well, i'm recompiling the kernel now [19:53] the latest kernel doesn't tend to be particuarly stable in my experience... [19:54] yeah [19:54] i should then just downgrade [19:54] last time i've used linux (freebsd user for two years now) [19:54] the kernel tar ball was only 18mb [19:55] its crazy how it's 43 now [19:55] I guess. It doesn't suprise me though, it contains the drivers for almost everything under the sun [19:56] yep [20:01] hello [20:03] hi [20:04] is it only me, or in xubuntu 7.10 after i insert the password into the feed, when the updater requests so, it takes lots of time for the comp to get back to the updater window? and when i open certain programs, i see for a split of a second snow on the window of the app? didn't have all this on prevous version of xubuntu [20:04] (lots of time = several seconds. way too much) [20:05] :S [20:08] no one had such problems? [20:08] used to but it seems to have gone away [20:10] another wierd thing is that eclipse didn't work properly. it seemed as if it was installed without access permisions to needed locations. after i reinstalled xubuntu, this problem went away. seems xubuntu 7.10 is still buggy [20:16] with all that said, it's pitty because i like xfce the most of all desktops. kde comes close in my liking, but still xfce is no. 1 for me. [20:19] what is a good cd ripper for xubuntu? [20:20] you want an iso or are you trying to extra audio files? [20:20] if you are just looking to get an iso, then use dd [20:21] dd if=/dev/scd0 of=new.iso [20:21] no just wanna copy my music to the hdd as .flac [20:23] I don't rip my music on my linux box, so I can't help you... :| [20:24] think i'll just install a bunch from the repos and try em out [20:25] Ben_Cs: download the latest eclipse from eclipse.org and run it in your home dir. the version in the repos is broken [20:29] thegeeker: yeh i saw it's broken, did just that. but later on for some reason after re-installing xubuntu, it seems to work alright. still, make i can't figure out why built in make dont work. [20:30] they probably didn;t worry about it since the repo version is old and the one from eclipse.org works so well [20:33] ok [20:33] will check the one from their site again [20:34] BTW, how do i make my panel real cool? like glossy/with background picture, etc? [20:36] Ben_Cs, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3517612&postcount=396 [20:37] !customize-panel is http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3517612&postcount=396 [20:37] hm [20:38] but nothing like i seen in kde? [20:39] been thinking that best pannel designs came from xfce [20:39] I think you can do almost anything in GTK, but there are not a lot of built-in customizations. Tyhe point of xubuntu is to stay light and fast, not to run a bunch of eye-candy [20:40] !customize-panel [20:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about customize-panel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:40] * thegeeker grumbles [20:40] i see. but still eye candy should be easy to do, right? [20:41] I don't about easy, but it is possible [20:41] You can see some examples in that link that will give you an idea about how easy it is to customize [20:43] n8 [20:45] what i like about xfce is the organization. kde handles things nicely in gui, but if u want to go editing files, it's harder to find your arms and legs there than in xfce. don't you agree? and xfce has a very nice gui aswell [20:45] !xubuntu-custom-panel is You can find a few tips about customizing your Xubuntu panels at the following link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3517612&postcount=396 [20:46] stupid bot [20:46] Can we add our own entries? [20:46] !xubuntu-custom-panel [20:46] It keeps telling me it is not intelligent [20:46] * vinze sees [20:46] what good is an infobot you can;t add info to? [20:46] Ben_Cs, what I like about Xfce is its speed :) [20:46] thegeeker, well perhaps you can but we just don't know how to? :) [20:47] Ben_Cs, I like XFCE's lack of meaningless eye candy and fluff [20:47] thegeeker, and the ability to add it yourself if you *do* like that ;-) [20:47] vinze, I was following the instructions at the ubotu wiki page [20:48] thegeeker: yeh, kde has too much anymation indeed. [20:48] well, gotta go. thanks for the links. [20:48] see ya all [20:48] Bye [20:48] thegeeker, where's that page? [20:49] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [20:49] thegeeker, thanks [21:42] just to try I flagged "save session" for the next login, after a reboot I lost all my settings. weird uh ? is there a way to recover them ? [21:42] I cant' Understand what happened [22:29] anyone have mediatomb or ushare installed on their system? [22:29] I need a dlna server for ps3 and xbox360 [22:31] oh well off to experiment [22:38] Goodnight! [22:42] the xbox 360 can run *nix? [22:47] Piratero: yep [22:47] nice [22:47] Piratero: ive heard of people installing linux on a 360 and co-locating it :) [22:47] are there any consequences? [22:47] like they can no longer go on live? [22:47] I'm not sure [23:22] hi all, i'm trying to upgrade my old hard drive to a bigger 320gb drive, any ideas? gparted? [23:23] oh its the xubuntu root drive [23:25] wow [23:25] i've been compiling the linux kernel since 11am [23:25] it's 15:25 [23:27] you have a very slow computer don't you Piratero [23:28] i don't, my cousin does [23:28] 700mhz [23:28] i'm on freebsd, 2.7ghz [23:28] hey i'm installing xubuntu through VMware... do i select ubuntu under the OS menu, or Other Linux 2.6.x kernel? [23:29] i was under the impression that xubuntu is ubuntu, just toned down [23:31] also, what kernel version does the latest xubuntu use? i'm downloading it right now, so it will be the most recent [23:31] cGc: it doesn't matter [23:31] other linux or ubuntu both result in a identical vmware config [23:32] okay [23:32] you know if core2 duo and 2gb of ram will run that pretty well with vista hosting the xubuntu VM [23:32] and the kernel on an up-to-date xubuntu 7.10 is 2.6.22-14-generic [23:33] I didn't know that Vista could run anything well... But that might good... [23:34] yeah you are right about that, i dual boot with ubuntu and vista and want to be able to have a quick access to linux when i'm running vista so i figured xubuntu would be a good candidate [23:34] (for the VM) [23:35] on xfce, there's something different with gnome apps like rhythmbox and tomboy notes. the buttons on the top lost their descriptions [23:35] also, in the case of tomboy notes, pressing alt+t does not go the the "text properties" menu anymore [23:35] any ideas? [23:37] i'm not familiar with xfce, this will be my first time using it so i'm no help!
