j1mcso, basically, the checkbox things are just to help you record your own progress, and then if something doesn't work . . .03:43
j1mcthen you check and see if there's a bug report on it already . . .03:44
j1mcand go from there.03:44
j1mcgot it.  :)03:44
somerville32Well, make sure to mark if it is successful too03:44
j1mcdo you actually submit the successful / unsuccessful report somewhere, though?  i don't see where you'd do that.03:44

j1mci think that you can just run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, but others on here can confirm.03:53
jack_well03:54
jack_if i d/l just normal ubuntu and install it normally having it format the drive.. there won't be problems right?03:55
somerville32IT'll remove Xubuntu and all your data on the disk03:55

aslkmsadlkmdsawhat sort of programs for security like firewall etc is good for linux? are there any products specially made for linux?04:17

Jester45linux has builtin firewall04:17
Jester45!firewall04:17
ubotuUbuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).04:17

spierepfI'm trying to run vnc so that it presents a gdmgreeter.05:35
cellofellowoh. I've heard VNC can do that, but I use XDMCP instead.05:35
spierepfThe problem is that the greeter closes itself before getting presented. I'm not sure why.05:35

UbugtuMalone bug 78282 in vnc4 "vnc4server does not start Desktop environment after security update" [High,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/7828205:42

jonty_rocks3help05:55
jonty_rocks3is there an xubuntu driver for Speedtouch 330 USB?05:56
jonty_rocks3anyone?06:01
gabkdll1jonty_rocks3: hi06:03
jonty_rocks3hello!06:04
jonty_rocks3is there an xubuntu driver for Speedtouch 330?06:04
gabkdll1the manufacturer says that there is linux support through an open source driver06:04
gabkdll1http://www.speedtouchdsl.com/supuser.htm06:04
jonty_rocks3i downloaded one but when it extracted it just said extracting for 4 hours =S06:05
jonty_rocks3is it thhe firmware?06:06
gabkdll1are you running xubuntu now, or just thinking about it06:06
gabkdll1?06:06
jonty_rocks3am running on my laptop06:07
jonty_rocks3this my pc06:08
gabkdll1I suspect that if the open source driver is at all stable, it probably was included with the default *ubuntu kernel06:09
jonty_rocks3well i plugged it in and nothing happened06:09
gabkdll1did you check dmesg ?06:10
jonty_rocks3what>06:10
jonty_rocks3?06:10
jonty_rocks3i'm a noob =(06:10
gabkdll1run "dmesg" in a Terminal06:10
jonty_rocks3one sec06:11
gabkdll1it will generate a lot of output06:11
jonty_rocks3i cant cause i only got 1 modem06:11
jonty_rocks3which i am using06:11
jonty_rocks3will try later thnx06:11
jonty_rocks3btw which is better? Debian or Slackware?06:11
gabkdll1also, maybe you need to reboot06:11
jonty_rocks3also i get a load of lines at the bottom of thhe screen06:12
gabkdll1from what I hear, Slackware is more involved, but you learn a lot along the way06:12
gabkdll1"dmesg | tail" would probably have sufficed06:13
gabkdll1dmesg is for viewing kernel messages06:13
jonty_rocks3what about the lines on the screen it is so annoying06:13

jonty_rocks3my dcc crap06:25
gabkdll1you can't post it publically? I am actually not a xubuntu developer or anything like that06:25
jonty_rocks3yes one sec06:25
gabkdll1MDCore: you mean, when you press Shift-' or Shift-" , nothing happens?06:26
MDCoregabkdll1: Yes.. until I press another key. If I press ' then ' again I get 06:27
jonty_rocks3ok here is the screenshot: http://freespace.virgin.net/jonty.oglesby/Screenshot.png06:27
MDCorebut if I get press ' then <space> I get the correct character.06:27
MDCoreIt as if my keyboard has decided to become international all of a sudden.06:27
jonty_rocks3gabkdll1 u see the lines on screen?06:28

jonty_rocks3yup its anooying06:28
jonty_rocks3can i get rid of em?06:28
MDCoregabkdll1: ok ?? how do I turn it off?06:28
jonty_rocks3go into keyboard settings and change key mapping?06:29
jonty_rocks3key map code thing06:29
gabkdll1jonty_rocks3: I am not an expert, but my guess would be that the X11 device driver is not playing nice with your hardware06:29
jonty_rocks3can i get round that?06:29
gabkdll1jonty_rocks3: can you check which driver you are using in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf06:30
jonty_rocks3one sec plz06:31
gabkdll1!xconfig | MDCore06:31
ubotuMDCore: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". To configure only the driver and resolution, type: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh".06:31
