| pRrp | check it.. in xfce.. somethin is weird with xscreensaver.. on boot i get this little 1 inch square that looks barcodelike.. distortion.. but if i wait for the screensaver to come on and i hit a key it disappears.. also i can make it disappear by going into suspend and then waking it up | 12:37 |
| pRrp | i've disabled the screensaver and powersave mode and restarted.. but i still get it.. xscreensaver is still running in processes too. | 12:37 |

| pRrp | and wont go away until i suspend then wake it up.. | 01:49 |
| Frem | huh | 01:49 |
| Frem | It's centered around the mouse pointer for me, there's also some green lines at the top of the screen. I believe it's part of whatever the graphics card has buffered, if that makes any sense. Like, if I've booted Windows recently, I can sometimes make out a messed up version of the windows boot screen. | 01:49 |
| BrendanM | weird | 01:50 |
| BrendanM | what kind of graphics card is it? | 01:50 |
| Frem | But for me, it only shows for a few seconds when I restore from hibernation. I've got an on-board ATI Xpress 200m. | 01:50 |
| pRrp | ah. well this is a square box in the top left corner.. it has something to do with xscreensaver.. also i think i need to add some options to my xorg.conf to let my ati adapter work better. this is an old laptop. im sure there's something i can do | 01:50 |

| deniz_ogut | Hi Dear Friends! xubuntu 7.04 Feisty. I'm trying to burn a ISO image but Xfburn is totally silent. I mean I can get to the dialog windowses, but it doesn't burn. What to do? | 04:28 |
| M_42 | I use k3b 1.01 (getdeb.net) | 04:34 |
| M_42 | to burn cds even though its kde | 04:34 |
| M_42 | nero linux is good also but its not free | 04:34 |
| deniz_ogut | M_42: I know about k3b and its a good tool. But I wonder why the default writer of xubuntu is not writing. I made a search and in forums there's discussions that during Feisty era iso burning spec of Xfburn was broken. But it is unbelivable if it is still reamlaining broken in Feisty. I don't want to believe this and I'm trying to learn what I am doing wrong. Otherwise, it means that there's another huge problem. The question is simple: Is there anybo | 04:42 |
| M_42 | I could never get it to work | 04:43 |
| M_42 | so I went k3b | 04:43 |
| M_42 | :C | 04:43 |
| deniz_ogut | *during feisty era= during edgy era. | 04:45 |
| deniz_ogut | M_42: Thank you for answering. | 04:45 |
| M_42 | np nerolinux is also very good | 04:46 |
| M_42 | I think there are serials up on mininova | 04:46 |
| M_42 | it doesn't use kde-libs | 04:47 |
| M_42 | I wish I could figure out how to force my lcd to turn off | 04:47 |
| M_42 | the backlight stays on | 04:47 |
| M_42 | lol | 04:47 |
| deniz_ogut | M_42: Thanks but now for me the problem is not to find a burning too. There's something weird related with xubuntu as an OS. If xfburn was not working (at least was not working well) how can it be put in the next release, Feisty, as the same. Is it a joke? | 04:48 |
| M_42 | i dunno ive seen lots of broken packages | 04:49 |
| M_42 | gaim 1.5 stopped working with msn and they never fixed it till the next version of ubuntu came out | 04:50 |
| M_42 | OOo had a nasty font problem which was fixed in 2.1 but they never updated | 04:50 |
| M_42 | lots of little annoying things | 04:50 |
| M_42 | like that | 04:50 |
| deniz_ogut | Yes the amazing one being the default terminal emulator. In your opinion, what is to be done? Do we waste our energy by dealing with xubuntu? | 04:51 |
| spasticteapot | deniz_ogut: What's your problem again? | 04:51 |
| deniz_ogut | Is the best to give our efforts to Ubuntu? | 04:51 |
| spasticteapot | I've NEVER had any trouble with Xubuntu. | 04:51 |
| spasticteapot | It has a wacky implementation of XFCE to make it more Gnome-like. | 04:51 |
| deniz_ogut | We were discussing about why I didn't manage to write an ISO image to a CD via xfburn. | 04:52 |
| spasticteapot | Go over to #XFCE for advanced help - they're the guys to ask when you have something like a faulty CD burning problem. | 04:52 |
| deniz_ogut | This is not XFCE guys problem. | 04:52 |
| deniz_ogut | isn't xubuntu responsible if some tool they put in the package isn't working? | 04:53 |
| deniz_ogut | Then I will install an Ubuntu server and xfce on it. | 04:53 |
| deniz_ogut | Why there's a xubuntu then? | 04:53 |
| spasticteapot | deniz_ogut: For people who need a lighter distro than Ubuntu? | 04:54 |
| spasticteapot | Personally, I think Ubuntu's only saving grace is ease of use - I'm thinking of moving to Arch, but I'd miss Sudo. | 04:54 |
| deniz_ogut | Dear frield, I know this need and I USE xubuntu as well. | 04:54 |
| deniz_ogut | and I want xubuntu be good, better etc. | 04:54 |
| spasticteapot | Fair 'nuff. | 04:54 |
| spasticteapot | Personally, I agree. | 04:55 |
| spasticteapot | Arch linux, aside from being a bit trickier to use, seems to be vastly superior. | 04:55 |
| deniz_ogut | But if that iso burning tool was not working during the previous release and if it is still not working, there's a serious..... I mean its wrong. | 04:55 |
| spasticteapot | Yep. | 04:55 |
| spasticteapot | I don't even HAVE an internal optical drive. | 04:55 |
| deniz_ogut | Here for many such issues people keep saying: Install another tool or tell to the upstream. | 04:56 |
| deniz_ogut | This is not acceptable. | 04:56 |
| deniz_ogut | xubuntu as an OS should work under its own integrity. | 04:56 |
| deniz_ogut | What emlse can I say? | 04:56 |
| === j1mmc [n=jim@24-148-32-14.nwb-bsr1.chi-nwb.il.cable.rcn.com] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| deniz_ogut | spasticteapot: Ok you don't have an optical drive. But if optical drives are much more for xubuntu then we will say that we won't give service for them. If we do, and if we put a device for it, we expect it to work. | 04:57 |
| deniz_ogut | spasticteapot: This is the one of several unbelivable things I'm discovering in xubuntu. First one was terminal emulator is causing x to crash. And what said is: This is an upstream issue and install another tool. These are not serious manners. | 05:00 |
| T` | hmm | 05:01 |
| T` | deniz_ogut, i dont have that prob | 05:01 |
| spasticteapot | deniz_ogut: I know what you mean - everyone is focusing on Gnomebuntu. | 05:01 |
| spasticteapot | Personally, I'm wondering if Xubuntu should be replaced with an Arch-based distro. | 05:01 |
| spasticteapot | I'm installing it on my laptop this weekend. | 05:02 |
| spasticteapot | In a new partition. of course. | 05:02 |
| T` | i haven't tried the gnome based ubuntu.. is it still dog slow as it used to be? | 05:02 |
| deniz_ogut | For many architectures there is. Forums and Launcpad bugzilla is full of them. Anyway. There may be bugs, some of them may be serious as well but we can't say "install something else" or "this is upstream related". User, in the last resolution, demands something usable. | 05:02 |
| deniz_ogut | Why did I change from Ubuntu to xubuntu then, if I will install all their tools? | 05:03 |
| T` | deniz_ogut, what exactly is your issue? | 05:03 |
| deniz_ogut | I beileve that I am doing something wrong, to write iso image via xfburn. | 05:04 |
| deniz_ogut | But it seems that it is the case for everybody. | 05:04 |
| deniz_ogut | And not in feisty but in edgy as well. | 05:04 |
| T` | i dont like xfburn | 05:04 |
| deniz_ogut | and I don't want to believe this. | 05:04 |
| T` | i use gnomebaker | 05:04 |
| deniz_ogut | and I don't want to install k3b. | 05:05 |
| deniz_ogut | This is wnat i ask. | 05:05 |
| T` | deniz_ogut, what the heck are you freaking out about | 05:05 |
| T` | just shut up and use what works best for you.. this is linux.. free software | 05:05 |
| deniz_ogut | Dear T. Problem is not liking xfburn or not liking it. | 05:05 |
| T` | i install software which suits my needs all the time | 05:05 |
| T` | i use xmms, | 05:05 |
| deniz_ogut | What i ask is: is xfburn work for someone or not? | 05:05 |
| deniz_ogut | it is that simple. | 05:06 |
| T` | mplayer, etc. | 05:06 |
| T` | i dont like xfmedia.. it sucks.. so what | 05:06 |
| T` | but i'm saying: if it doesn't work, then use what works | 05:06 |
| T` | there is so much choice.. and its beautiful | 05:06 |
| T` | you have to be very glad | 05:06 |
| T` | not like windows | 05:06 |
| deniz_ogut | if the default tool is not working at all, there's a distro problem. | 05:06 |
| T` | yea.. but unfortunately tools take time to mature | 05:07 |
| deniz_ogut | i am talking about the default one. and not about chances. it is not working. | 05:07 |
| T` | just like anything else in life | 05:07 |
| T` | i highly recommend you use something else other than xfburn | 05:07 |
| deniz_ogut | you are right. | 05:07 |
| T` | i like xubuntu cuz its FFAAAASST | 05:07 |
| T` | i dont care about its tools | 05:07 |
| T` | i instlal my own.. thunderbird, firefox, xmms, mplayer, etc.. | 05:07 |
| T` | i use lightweight stuff.. | 05:08 |
| T` | i agree it sucks xfmedia never works | 05:08 |
| T` | atleast for me it always hangs up | 05:08 |
| T` | but then i just dont care.. cuz i know a software which works awesome.. mplayer | 05:08 |
| deniz_ogut | dear T I have a 128 ram and I like xubuntu for being fast as well. But this does not mean that we won't dibcuss the whole scene. | 05:08 |
| spasticteapot | You need more RAM. | 05:09 |
| spasticteapot | T': If I wanted to install all my own tools, I'd bloody well use Debian. | 05:09 |
| T` | yea i see what you mean.. there is a real problem here with not making these tools better | 05:09 |
| T` | but i think they just need time | 05:09 |
| T` | spasticteapot, then please do? | 05:09 |
| T` | i only install _a few_ of my own tools | 05:10 |

| deniz_ogut | :-) If I have more ram I won't use xubuntu! There are milions of 128 ram machines around the world and GNU/Linux is capable to operate them well. | 05:10 |
| spasticteapot | Ack, wrong chatroom. | 05:10 |
| spasticteapot | T': I like Ubuntu because it's easy to use. | 05:10 |
| spasticteapot | I don't want to install my own tools. | 05:10 |
| spasticteapot | I want to install, and have everything work. | 05:11 |
| spasticteapot | I thought that was the whole point of Ubuntu. | 05:11 |
| deniz_ogut | You are right and what i am trying to say is this. | 05:11 |
| T` | spasticteapot, perhaps.. xubuntu is an offshoot.. has advantages/disadvantages | 05:12 |
| deniz_ogut | "linux for human beings". Not only for geeks. | 05:12 |
| T` | spasticteapot, give them some time dude.. they are all doing us free service.. | 05:12 |
| spasticteapot | Yes. But they are sucking at it. | 05:12 |
| T` | i know.. i'm just pissed you guys dont appriaciate their work | 05:12 |
| spasticteapot | I'm not going to bloody donate any money 'till they fix xubuntu. | 05:12 |
| T` | oh thats fine | 05:12 |
| T` | you should state that to them | 05:12 |
| deniz_ogut | I'm not blaming the developers, I'm trying to contribute for the things to be better. | 05:12 |
| T` | but the best way to encourage them is to thank them | 05:13 |
| spasticteapot | T': As someone who has worked as a sysadmin for free - donating my own time - I can say : "THBBT!" | 05:13 |
| T` | cuz they aren't obviously doing it for the money | 05:13 |
| deniz_ogut | And I'll report this xfburn issue as well. | 05:13 |
| spasticteapot | It's not done 'till it all works. | 05:13 |
| spasticteapot | Gnome is, IMO, a worse choice than XFCE. Much more bloaty. | 05:13 |
| T` | spasticteapot, have you used ubuntu lately? | 05:13 |
| deniz_ogut | and for the moment, yes I'll install some other tool, solve my personal problem but this doesn't mean that the main problem is solved. | 05:13 |
| T` | spasticteapot, just wondering how it compares to xubuntu on a fast machine.. like an intel core duo.. | 05:14 |
| spasticteapot | T': Gnomebuntu, no. | 05:14 |
| deniz_ogut | Up to feisty, I was using Ubuntu. | 05:14 |
| spasticteapot | T': I don't have a C2D. I have a 1ghz single-core Pentium M. | 05:14 |
| deniz_ogut | During Edgy era I used Ubuntu. | 05:14 |
| spasticteapot | Hence Xubuntu. | 05:14 |
| T` | ah oko | 05:14 |
| T` | deniz_ogut, how is it compared to xuubnut speed wise? | 05:14 |
| deniz_ogut | for 1 month I'm using xubuntu. | 05:14 |
| T` | deniz_ogut, i am buying a new comp.. 2GB/C2D e6600, etc.. | 05:15 |
| deniz_ogut | xubuntu is obviously much more speedy. | 05:15 |
| deniz_ogut | because of desktops. | 05:15 |
| T` | even on a fast comp? | 05:15 |
| T` | what? | 05:15 |
| deniz_ogut | Ubuntu= gnome xubuntu= xfce | 05:15 |
| deniz_ogut | I don't know the fast computers. | 05:15 |
| deniz_ogut | mine is a low end one and ubuntu was slow. | 05:16 |
| deniz_ogut | xubuntu is for me. | 05:16 |
| deniz_ogut | But I belive that even in a fast pc, xubuntu will run faster than Ubuntu. | 05:16 |
| j1mmc | deniz_ogut: yes, xubuntu is a little more snappy, even on a fast pc. | 05:17 |
| deniz_ogut | but I believe that, even if I have a fast computer I may prefer xubuntu. because i like its simplicity. | 05:17 |
| T` | j1mmc, ohok | 05:18 |
| heavywolf | really interesting conversation guys, im about to start using xubuntu on an old pc | 05:18 |
| T` | i'm assuming kubuntu is just slower than ubuntu/xubuntu? | 05:18 |
| deniz_ogut | heavywolf: If you have an old computer, xubuntu is THE best. | 05:18 |
| heavywolf | yeah, that what a friend told me, im going to try it out | 05:19 |
| deniz_ogut | yes kubuntu (kde) is the "slowest" one. | 05:19 |
| heavywolf | but i have a question | 05:19 |
| heavywolf | can you use beryl on xubuntu? | 05:19 |
| deniz_ogut | But much more "eye candy". | 05:19 |
| j1mmc | kubuntu and ubuntu are slower than xubuntu, but you need to weigh features, too. xubuntu isn't quite as feature rich as kubuntu or ubuntu | 05:19 |
| j1mmc | heavywolf: yes, you can use beryl on xubuntu | 05:19 |
| heavywolf | perfect | 05:19 |
| heavywolf | that's what i want | 05:20 |
| deniz_ogut | As far as I know you can use beryl on xubuntu. but x-ubuntu can handle beryl doesn't mean it can handle on all machines I belive. | 05:20 |
| heavywolf | thats reasonable | 05:20 |
| heavywolf | i used to use ubuntu before | 05:20 |
| heavywolf | when it was the 5.04 version | 05:20 |
| deniz_ogut | You can install beryl on xubuntu on an 1 gb ram machine; it is sometheng, 128 ram machine, it is somletnhirg else. | 05:21 |
| heavywolf | now im trying to upgrade everything till 7 | 05:21 |

| deniz_ogut | Hi dear friends. Reminding that I am a relatively new bug reporter triager. Questions: 1- If a bug is reported for a previous release, and if I have the same of it in the current one, should I report a new bug or add a comment to the existing one? If there was an old similar report and if it is rejected by someone who is supposed to know what he is doing but if I believe that the bug (still) exists, what should I do? The real situation is for Bug #830 | 07:53 |

| cjae | and he told me to go to ~/.cache/xfce4/desktop and look in those files | 10:26 |
| grazie | cjae: the xfce menu editor can change anything that's not part of the system menu | 10:26 |
| cjae | how | 10:26 |

| cjae | I only have three entries in menu editor and none of them are applications | 10:27 |

| shriphani | i.e. 1024 mb | 01:27 |
| shriphani | or 1 gig | 01:28 |
| b52 | ah ok | 01:28 |

| b52 | well, wait i show u what ive done so far | 01:31 |
| b52 | dev/hda | 01:31 |
| b52 | - hda1 ntfs /media/hda1 /(this is my win partition) 25gig | 01:31 |
| b52 | - hda2 swap 1gig | 01:31 |
| b52 | - free space 52gig | 01:32 |
| b52 | dev/hdv | 01:32 |
| b52 | *b | 01:32 |
| b52 | - hdb1 80gig | 01:32 |
| b52 | which filesystem should my / get? | 01:32 |
| b52 | ext3 | 01:32 |
| b52 | ? | 01:32 |
| shriphani | umm care to speak it out in a sentence ? | 01:34 |
| b52 | sorry | 01:35 |
| b52 | how can i create a screenshot of my actuall viewing? | 01:38 |
| shriphani | well you dont need to | 01:38 |
| shriphani | i was asking you to put the previous 3 lines in one sentence | 01:38 |
| b52 | should i use the ext3 filesystem for my root partition? | 01:39 |
| shriphani | sure | 01:39 |
| b52 | could u tell me now how to create a screenshot of my viewing? | 01:40 |
| shriphani | hmm Applications ------> Accessories ------> Take screenshot. | 01:40 |
| shriphani | however this is on a ubuntu with xfce installed... | 01:40 |
| b52 | dont have "take a screenshot" | 01:41 |
| shriphani | do you have gimp in graphics ? | 01:41 |
| b52 | yeah | 01:41 |
| Merchelo | open a terminal, and type scrot | 01:41 |
| b52 | scrot is currently not installed | 01:42 |
| b52 | im running this live cd | 01:42 |
| TheSheep | b52: gimp has an option to aquire a screenshot, and you can also add a screenshot applet to the panel | 01:42 |
| shriphani | well then gimp it is...provided no one else comes up with an idea | 01:43 |

| Cannon_Ball | Hello everybody, I am new at Xubuntu | 06:23 |
| Jester45 | hi | 06:23 |
| Cannon_Ball | I installed it one week ago on an old notebook | 06:23 |
| Cannon_Ball | and since I'm experiencing loads of problems | 06:23 |
| === grazie [n=grazie@host86-136-96-72.range86-136.btcentralplus.com] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| Cannon_Ball | hi Jester45 | 06:24 |
| Jester45 | go ahead and ask | 06:24 |
| Cannon_Ball | This morning I decided to reinstall everything from scratch, | 06:24 |
| Cannon_Ball | to be sure that I did not forget anything I did | 06:24 |
| Cannon_Ball | So the first problem I have is the OpenOffice suite | 06:25 |
| Cannon_Ball | Xubuntu comes with a preinstalled Openoffice Word processor | 06:25 |
| Jester45 | yes | 06:25 |
| fabianruch | kmindi: hey dude :) | 06:25 |
| Cannon_Ball | Its windows have graphically disturbed edges, I can't see the borders | 06:25 |
| Cannon_Ball | and I can't click on the usual buttons to change dimensions | 06:26 |
| Cannon_Ball | With the previous installation, I tried to install twice the whole suite | 06:26 |
| Cannon_Ball | but there were no changes | 06:26 |
| Jester45 | so the problem is only with openoffice | 06:26 |
| Cannon_Ball | The thing which makes me go crazy is that it does it only with openoffice | 06:26 |
| Cannon_Ball | yep | 06:27 |
| Jester45 | try installing sun-java6-jre | 06:27 |
| Jester45 | openoffice has some java in it and that might be messing it up | 06:27 |
| Cannon_Ball | with the previous installation I had installed Java, which was working fine, but no improvement on this issue | 06:28 |
| Jester45 | ok | 06:29 |
| Cannon_Ball | with the previous installation I had some problems with multimedia | 06:29 |
| Jester45 | did some things not play? | 06:29 |
| Cannon_Ball | following the instructions on Medibuntu, I had installed some codecs for WMV | 06:29 |
| Cannon_Ball | but when launching GXine I could not see anything. | 06:29 |
| kmindi | ah hi fabianruch | 06:29 |
| Cannon_Ball | When stopping the video and restarting the PC was rebooting unexpectedly | 06:30 |
| Cannon_Ball | this was a constant, despite the many different codecs reinstallation | 06:30 |

| fabianruch | kmindi: everything's working out for you? | 06:30 |
| Jester45 | there might be somthing wrong with your videocard driver | 06:30 |
| Cannon_Ball | so my feeling now is that Xubuntu has some problem with the video driver | 06:31 |
| Jester45 | Cannon_Ball: what video card does it have | 06:31 |
| Cannon_Ball | yep, that's it! | 06:31 |

| fabianruch | kmindi: are you running xubuntu on your new (*blink* blink*) laptop? | 06:32 |
| Cannon_Ball | I have an amnesia | 06:32 |
| Cannon_Ball | The TravelMate 505 series are equipped with the Intel 82440 MX chipset | 06:34 |
| Cannon_Ball | the graphic card is the NeoMagic 2Mb | 06:34 |
| Cannon_Ball | I suspect that the Xubuntu installation does not properly sets the parameters for this videocard | 06:37 |

| fabianruch | let us see iwconfig's output :) | 07:13 |
| fabianruch | normally you have to load a module or compile a new kernel | 07:13 |
| fabianruch | so the driver recognizes your card und will be attached | 07:13 |
| fabianruch | in the end your card can be used on another layer | 07:14 |
| fabianruch | can somebody correct me? :) | 07:14 |

| odat | what directory do i use to load modules on startup | 07:49 |
| h3sp4wn | which modules ? | 07:49 |
| h3sp4wn | the simplest is just to add to /etc/modules | 07:49 |
| odat | that directory doesn't exist | 07:49 |
| cjae | TheSheep, I did have to check it and make sure everything was closed and completely reboot as a x server reboot was not enough to make it take hold | 07:50 |
| ivo | h3sp4wn: I have installed wpa_supplicant but I thought it was just necessary for network-manager? | 07:50 |
| h3sp4wn | ivo: You can use it by itself | 07:50 |
| h3sp4wn | odat: its a file | 07:50 |
| odat | oh crap | 07:51 |
| odat | sorry | 07:51 |
| cjae | TheSheep, and then uncheck it and tried loggin in several times does not come back | 07:51 |
| cjae | TheSheep, thanks anyway | 07:51 |
| TheSheep | cjae: well, you must have some script running at startup that starts it | 07:52 |
| ivo | h3sp4wn: does it have a graphical interface? | 07:52 |

| TheSheep | cjae: swap is not about load, but about memory | 07:57 |
| cjae | TheSheep, the first time I tried loging out (xserver) it opened again except it was thunar and the optical storage disc, so I was thinking it might have been just a thunar window open with no contents | 07:57 |
| cjae | ?? | 07:57 |
| TheSheep | cjae: linux doesn't clear the swap once it's used, because there is a good chance it will be used again in a moment, and it doesn't really cost to keep these pages in swap | 07:57 |
| cjae | but after two days of no using them or at least the app?? | 07:58 |
| TheSheep | cjae: you can go to thunar's preferences and go to the last tab to edit the volume manager properties (auto-opening of cd drives, etc.) | 07:58 |
| cjae | TheSheep, it has n't happened again but I will familiarize myself with that anyway thanks | 07:59 |
| cjae | TheSheep, my big problem is that I have no taskbar or panel on my tv out so when something get minimized over there I cannot see it and is hard to kill cause you forget what is open | 08:01 |
| cjae | like if I minimize thunar in tv out I cannot unmount the drive on the monitor screen cause it is being used on the tv out | 08:04 |
| TheSheep | cjae: middle-click on the desktop | 08:04 |
| cjae | you mean left and right at once | 08:05 |
| TheSheep | cjae: yes, if you don't have a 3-button mouse | 08:05 |
| cjae | or scroll wheel | 08:05 |
| cjae | on the tv out?? | 08:05 |
| TheSheep | anywhere on the desktop | 08:06 |
| cjae | give me option for workspaces | 08:06 |
| TheSheep | cjae: the workspaces hsould be there too | 08:06 |
| TheSheep | cjae: on the window list | 08:07 |
| TheSheep | cjae: you can also bind that list to some key -- the command is 'xfdesktop --window-list' | 08:07 |
| cjae | I see I have to open a file manager first | 08:08 |
| cjae | that is very cool didn't think about that | 08:08 |
| cjae | it is very helpful cause my girlfriend does that a lot I don't know why I don't have the panel or taskbar though | 08:09 |
| TheSheep | cjae: I have one of my 'windows' keys bound to that, and the other to the applications menu | 08:09 |
| TheSheep | cjae: you can get the panel by pressing alt+f2 and typing 'xfce4-panel' | 08:09 |
| cjae | tried that | 08:09 |
| TheSheep | cjae: and then put taskbar and anything other you need on it | 08:10 |
| Jester45 | TheSheep: that would only give it to display 0 not the tv-out | 08:10 |

| Jester45 | i got 3 xservers running on 3 displays, 6 desktops with beryl is confusing | 08:11 |
| cjae | Jester45, if you have 3 xservers you do not use twinview or anything right? | 08:12 |
| Jester45 | display 0 has 3xervers display 2 has 3xservers and display 3 has 3 xservers | 08:13 |

| cjae | it kills batteries like they were free | 09:28 |
| cjae | it always disconnects but that maybe cause of my phone | 09:28 |
| cjae | is it 2.4 ghz?? | 09:28 |
| TheSheep | cjae: http://linux.netpimpz.com/mx700/ | 09:28 |
| cjae | TheSheep, thanks I ll check | 09:29 |
| cjae | I sucks in winblows as well | 09:29 |
| cjae | it | 09:30 |
| cjae | my mother has like one of the first wireless logitech (well ones I saw anyway) and she replaces batteries like once a years not once every two days | 09:31 |
| Jester45 | how often does she use it | 09:32 |
| cjae | on an non glossy transparent surface | 09:32 |
| cjae | quite | 09:32 |
| Jester45 | thats one reason i changed to wired | 09:32 |
| cjae | my cat always smashes it | 09:32 |
| Jester45 | im a gamer and i cant stand when the batteries are low and it loses connection | 09:33 |
| cjae | even if it get randomly hits with it off the desk | 09:33 |
| cjae | it is like this one is possessed sometimes it will gradually die and sometimes the light will not flash | 09:34 |
| cjae | so you think I just lost connection and try and connect it | 09:34 |
| cjae | and then like three minutes later it will flash dead | 09:35 |
| cjae | lol | 09:35 |
| cjae | nuckin futz | 09:35 |
| Jester45 | lol | 09:35 |
| cjae | then it acts like the cordless phone and will not accept new charged batteries | 09:36 |
| cjae | still will flash and play dead | 09:36 |
| Jester45 | have you ever tried xeyes | 09:36 |
| cjae | yes | 09:37 |
| Jester45 | its pretty cool | 09:37 |
| cjae | yeh | 09:37 |
| cjae | sometimes I look like that | 09:37 |

| zials | yup | 10:57 |
| zials | err.. *thinks* try 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' | 10:58 |
| === jad_jay [n=jay@fau42-2-82-239-195-55.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| andrey_ | will it be the same as dowloading xubuntu iso ? | 10:58 |
| zials | depends | 10:59 |
| zials | it won't be the whole ISO file | 10:59 |
| zials | you'll be able to access most (if not all) files you had on kubuntu | 11:00 |
| kalikiana_ | andrey_, With the above mentioned package, you'll get a full xubuntu. | 11:01 |
| kalikiana_ | andrey_, However there *may* be issues, as for 1) kubuntu won't be removed automatically and 2) sometimes kde and xfce can conflict. | 11:01 |
| h3sp4wn | andrey_: You might still have networkmanager | 11:01 |
| h3sp4wn | which xubuntu is lucky to not have | 11:02 |
| kalikiana_ | h3sp4wn, Isn't System->Network the network manager? | 11:02 |
| andrey_ | I have knetworkapp installed | 11:02 |
| h3sp4wn | kalikiana_: I don't have that horrible daemon on my machine | 11:03 |
| h3sp4wn | (and never did) but kubuntu and ubuntu do unfortunately force it on people | 11:03 |
| kalikiana_ | h3sp4wn, I have that item in my menu from the Feisty default install. Is it the same or is it a different app? | 11:03 |
| === kalikiana_ rarely needs to setup his network. | ||
| h3sp4wn | I don't think its the same thing | 11:04 |
| kalikiana_ | How is the package called? | 11:04 |
| h3sp4wn | !info network-manager | 11:05 |
| andrey_ | knetworkmanager | 11:05 |
| ubotu | network-manager: network management framework daemon. In component main, is optional. Version 0.6.4-6ubuntu7 (feisty), package size 234 kB, installed size 584 kB | 11:05 |
| andrey_ | but basically all ubuntu are the same, only with different window managers | 11:07 |
| h3sp4wn | yes - but xubuntu doesn't use network manager | 11:09 |
| kalikiana_ | Ah, the one I have is 'network-admin'. | 11:09 |
| andrey_ | so I can do aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop and then aptitude install xubuntu-desktop | 11:11 |
| h3sp4wn | andrey_: Did you originally install kubuntu-desktop with aptitude ? | 11:11 |
| andrey_ | I just installed kubuntu from cd | 11:11 |
| h3sp4wn | probably won't work then | 11:12 |
| kalikiana_ | andrey_, You'll have to remove kubuntu's packages manually | 11:12 |
| h3sp4wn | sudo aptitude purge kdelibs-data kdelibs4c2a kde~i | 11:12 |
| kalikiana_ | andrey_, But there is some website explaining what you'll need to remove. | 11:12 |
| h3sp4wn | that should get rid of most of it | 11:12 |
| h3sp4wn | or you could ask someone with a clean xubuntu to help you | 11:13 |
| h3sp4wn | and use apt-get dselect-upgrade | 11:13 |
| h3sp4wn | (get the packagelist from them) | 11:13 |
| zials | mhmm... well, there's -> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce | 11:13 |
| h3sp4wn | but thats not pure xfce at all is it | 11:14 |
| h3sp4wn | its xfce made to look like a poor imitation of gnome | 11:14 |
| zials | x.x | 11:14 |
| h3sp4wn | and there is no way you would need all those | 11:15 |

| nekomancer | is there a site from which one may obtain drivers for elderly ati cards? | 11:27 |
| Pumpernickel | Those are typically supported by pre-included drivers. Are you having any particular problems with them? | 11:28 |
| nekomancer | i have what ubuntu believes is a "Rage 128 PF/PRO AGP 4x TMDS" (i'm not sure, i saved the computer from being junked), and from what it did when it had windows on the pc i think preformance is lacking. | 11:29 |
| nekomancer | it is old, i know, but i think it can be made to work better than it is | 11:30 |
| nekomancer | i do know that it is some type of ati card | 11:30 |
| nekomancer | should have looked in the bios, thinking about it. | 11:30 |
| Jester45 | the inculded drivers most likly are the best the driver from ATI tends to be only good for newer cards | 11:31 |
| Jester45 | type lspci in a terminal to find out what card it is | 11:32 |
| nekomancer | still the same thing | 11:34 |
| nekomancer | i pulled the card type from lshw and xorg.conf | 11:34 |

| aro | To obtain answers | 11:38 |
| nekomancer | it just seems strange that you simply ask the bot. | 11:38 |
| TheSheep | aro: you can /msg it | 11:38 |
| nekomancer | (as opposed to the people in the room) | 11:39 |
| nekomancer | are you trying to get your windows programs to run under ubuntu from a dual boot hdd? | 11:39 |
