| geck0 | does anyone know how to use preload? | 01:06 |
| geck0 | I did sudo apt-get install preload | 01:08 |
| geck0 | But where do I set which applications I want to preload? | 01:08 |
| TheSheep_ | geck0: I think it works dynamically | 01:09 |
| TheSheep_ | geck0: that is, it "learns" | 01:10 |
| geck0 | sorry, can you put that in stupid people terms? | 01:10 |
| geck0 | ok thanks =P | 01:10 |
| geck0 | hehe | 01:10 |
| TheSheep_ | geck0: look into /etc/preload.conf | 01:10 |
| geck0 | k I found it | 01:11 |
| geck0 | so I don't set up which applications it will preload or anything, it will just go automatically right? | 01:12 |

| scizzo | however....they are saying that if I want to get this session started with the preferences I got I need to go to System -> Preferences -> Sessions and then to Startup Programs -> New and add a new session | 01:35 |

| Xs1t0ry | tty2-7 are just blank consoles | 03:06 |

| Lanken | can I download kernel sources or the next version of the kernel? | 03:09 |
| Xs1t0ry | lanken: you can upgrade up to 7.04 now i think | 03:09 |
| Lanken | Xs1t0ry: the trouble is I don't have any bandwidth | 03:10 |
| Lanken | Xs1t0ry: I'm on dial-up | 03:10 |
| Xs1t0ry | lanken: do you have a dual-boot? | 03:10 |

| Lanken | Xs1t0ry: I have an XP machine next to it that has dial-up | 03:10 |
| Xs1t0ry | Lanken: can't you mount the latest vers and then put it on your machine? | 03:11 |
| Lanken | Xs1t0ry: the latest version of what? | 03:11 |
| Xs1t0ry | Lanken: the kernel/whole OS | 03:12 |

| Lanken | Xs1t0ry: I'm sure I could if I had the bandwidth to download the new version of the kernel/whole OS | 03:12 |
| Xs1t0ry | Lanken: what i mean is use your xp machine to d/l it and then burn it | 03:12 |
| vidd_laptop | Xs1t0ry, from comand line, type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 03:13 |

| vidd_laptop | Lanken, why do you need to update the kernel? | 03:16 |
| mrigns_ | X) | 03:16 |
| Lanken | vidd_laptop: the kernel I have (which came with a 6.06 iso) is too old to use the drivers for my software modem. | 03:16 |

| vidd_laptop | do you have dial-up? | 03:18 |
| Lanken | yes, on my XP box. | 03:18 |
| vidd_laptop | so why dont you do this....(man i hate suggesting this!) | 03:18 |
| vidd_laptop | on your xp box, set up internet connection sharing.... | 03:19 |
| vidd_laptop | connect your linux box to it via a crossover cable.... | 03:19 |
| vidd_laptop | then edit your sources.list file to edgy.... | 03:20 |
| vidd_laptop | then sudo apt-get (or aptitude if you prefer) update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 03:21 |
| Lanken | I don't think I have a crossover cable. | 03:21 |

| vidd_laptop | Xs1t0ry, if that is all you changed, then it is the likely cause | 03:28 |

| Chikubu | hi ppl, ive lost my gui on boot...i don't get a what i think is the gdm greet screen with logon, i just get a plain terminal logon, which i have to run startx to get my desktop back, ive looked at the gdm.conf file and it looks ok, suggestions on how i can get the greeter back on boot? | 05:29 |
| Chikubu | this happened after a distro upgrade of about 118 megs | 05:29 |
| vidd_laptop | Chikubu, check your boot script... | 05:31 |
| vidd_laptop | it is possible that it is missing startx | 05:32 |

| tonyyarusso | Chikubu: lists the contents of the file located at /etc/fstab | 06:47 |
| tonyyarusso | !fstab | 06:47 |
| ubotu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 06:47 |
| Chikubu | and if your fstab file is mising or doesnt exist? | 06:47 |
| tonyyarusso | Chikubu: similar to opening it a text editor read-only, kinda. | 06:47 |
| tonyyarusso | Chikubu: then you have a mighty interesting situation.... Note that it's /etc, not /ect. | 06:48 |
| Chikubu | ah heck i found it | 06:50 |
| Chikubu | my contacts need cleaning ugg | 06:50 |
| Chikubu | im having a problem at boot...i used to get a gui logon, but now all i get is terminal logon, with some kinit errors referencing /dev/disk/by-uuid | 06:51 |
| Chikubu | i can logon at the terminal login and run startx to get my desktop | 06:52 |
| Chikubu | but id like the old behaviour back | 06:52 |
| Chikubu | there are a bunch of bug reports about this but no solutions | 06:52 |
| tonyyarusso | I haven't heard about it frankly, so I doubt I can help on that one. (UUID is still a mystery to me) | 06:53 |
| Chikubu | fstab file has refrences to my hard drive commented out - - -/dev/hda1 and hada5 and looks like UUID referneces instead...i wonder if the upgrade switched them | 06:56 |
| tonyyarusso | yeah | 06:57 |
| Chikubu | the line # /dev/hda1 is replaced with a long UUID=yadayadayda or so it seems....dare i switch them around? | 06:58 |
| tonyyarusso | You could try - it wouldn't be the "preferred" way of doing things, but it may be a temporary workaround until you find a real solution. | 06:59 |
| Chikubu | ah well i can always run tirc hehe | 06:59 |

| Chikubu | there is a fstab.pre-uuid right below it, but nothing much in it but a comment | 07:01 |
| Chikubu | ah well reboot time | 07:01 |
| cellofellow | next time tell Chikabu about !uuid | 07:02 |
| tonyyarusso | cellofellow: good catch - a moment too late :S Thanks. | 07:04 |
| Jester45 | i keep saying | 07:12 |
| Jester45 | ubotu need to have some sort of wb message | 07:13 |
| Jester45 | so that only register users (no spam) can tell it to tell a message to the person | 07:14 |
| Jester45 | so like this case when chikubu come back ubotu would say right away, cellofellow wanted you to know !uuid | 07:14 |
| cellofellow | good idea | 07:15 |
| Jester45 | but... | 07:15 |
| tonyyarusso | Jester45: There actually is such a function already written - it's just not in ubotu at this time. | 07:15 |

| j1mc | yeah... sorta. with it filled in, look in your lower-right corner | 09:26 |
| Hansel | ah... okay, I'm retarded... lol | 09:26 |
| j1mc | ... of your screen. | 09:26 |
| j1mc | it takes the app you're using, and puts it in all of your virtual desktops | 09:26 |
| Hansel | I feel unworthy asking for help to get my wireless working now.. .hhehe | 09:26 |
| j1mc | haha | 09:27 |
| j1mc | i can try to help with that if you'd like | 09:27 |
| Hansel | I have a Cisco wireless card... Aironet 350 | 09:27 |
| j1mc | ok | 09:28 |
| Hansel | it can detect the card cause all the lights come on... | 09:28 |
| Hansel | I just cant get an IP from my wireless router. | 09:28 |
| Hansel | I have WEP enabled. I just want to be able to scan for local networks as opposed to having to type it all in manually. | 09:28 |
| j1mc | hmmm... | 09:28 |
| hyper_ch | why use WEP? | 09:29 |
| Hansel | when I go into Network Settings I see 2 wireless connections wifi0 and eth1... I believe eth1 is the one it should be. | 09:29 |
| j1mc | what version of xubuntu are you using? | 09:29 |
| Hansel | I could use WPA or something else... | 09:29 |
| Hansel | uhm... Fiesty? | 09:29 |
| Hansel | I just want to be able to scan for networks... so no matter what encryption they are using I can pick and choose. | 09:29 |
| Hansel | right now I'm not connected to anything and the lights are flashing like bonkers. | 09:30 |
| j1mc | so, do you know the command, "sudo iwlist eth1 scan"? | 09:30 |
| Hansel | status and activity lights... | 09:30 |
| Hansel | k... its just showing 1... the ESSID is baby. Mine is pigvomit... it isnt in the list. :( | 09:30 |
| Hansel | ooh... I ran it again and it showed up! | 09:31 |
| j1mc | ok... and it says the key is on? | 09:31 |
| Hansel | Encryption key:on | 09:31 |
| j1mc | yeah | 09:31 |
| Hansel | is there a way I can get this to show up in the gui interface? I am giving this to my dad and he can't handle a command line... | 09:32 |
| j1mc | i'm not sure what types of encryption this works on, and what it doesn't work on, but... | 09:32 |
| hyper_ch | Hansel: the only secure thing I know is Radius | 09:32 |
| j1mc | hyper_ch: what is Radius? | 09:32 |
| hyper_ch | Radius server so that even the login connection thing will be encrypted | 09:32 |
| j1mc | ah | 09:32 |
| hyper_ch | WPA can "easily" be hacked because the handshake part is not encrypted | 09:32 |

| vinze | Hi | 11:53 |
| bart_17 | vinze: i have an amd k62-500, 256 ram, 8.7Gb HD, do you think i can run xubuntu fiesty decently on this pc? | 11:54 |
| hyper_ch | yes, I think so | 11:55 |
| hyper_ch | bart_17: yes | 11:55 |
| bart_17 | does xubuntu play mp3's out of the box? | 11:55 |
| bart_17 | thanx | 11:55 |
| vinze | No | 11:55 |
| vinze | But it's not difficult to add support | 11:55 |
| hyper_ch | bart_17: but it can be easily made to play them | 11:55 |
| vinze | http://www.xubuntu.org/get#requirements | 11:55 |
| bart_17 | ok.. i'm a noob | 11:56 |
| vinze | No problem :D | 11:56 |
| hyper_ch | bart_17: just add the medibuntu repository and fetch the codecs :) | 11:56 |
| AlexC | No | 11:56 |
| vinze | hyper_ch, what's wrong with Gstreamer? | 11:56 |
| vinze | (Except that gxine doesn't use it ;) | 11:56 |
| hyper_ch | vinze: I don't use it | 11:56 |
| vinze | I always see this medibuntu repo mentioned but I have never used it and I'm playing an MP3 right now | 11:56 |
| bart_17 | would i be able to do it even without an internet connection? | 11:56 |
| vinze | Well, you'd have to download it from somewhere else | 11:57 |
| hyper_ch | vinze: medibuntu repo has a few things more than just the mp3 codecs | 11:57 |
| vinze | But I suppose you'll then also be downloading the Xubuntu CD somewhere else | 11:57 |
| vinze | hyper_ch, like what? | 11:57 |
| vinze | You mean DVD's and stuff? | 11:57 |
| hyper_ch | vinze: have a look at what they offer | 11:57 |
| vinze | Oh I see | 11:58 |
| vinze | hyper_ch, thanks | 11:58 |
| bart_17 | i can download it here, but my old pc is in the farm and we don't have an internet connection there | 11:58 |
| vinze | OK, do you have a USB drive or anything which you could save it to? | 11:58 |
| AlexC | can you get mp3 codecs without adding repos? | 11:59 |
| vinze | Yeah | 11:59 |
| vinze | AlexC, you can download the packages manually | 11:59 |
| hyper_ch | can vlc by default play mp3s? | 11:59 |
| bart_17 | yes, i just need to know where to download and how to install | 11:59 |
| vinze | OK, hold on a sec.. | 12:00 |
| hyper_ch | bart_17: if you download the .deb files you just double-click them on the desktop | 12:00 |
| hyper_ch | bart_17: they are sort of like .exe files | 12:00 |
| vinze | bart_17, what version of Xubuntu will you be using? | 12:00 |
| bart_17 | ok.. where do i get the deb files?? i fiesty | 12:00 |
| bart_17 | ok.. where do i get the deb files?? i'll be installing fiesty fiesty | 12:00 |
| vinze | OK, I'll look it up | 12:00 |
| bart_17 | ok.. where do i get the deb files?? i'll be installing fiesty | 12:01 |
| bart_17 | thanx | 12:01 |
| AlexC | yea | 12:01 |
| AlexC | vlc has codecs inclosed | 12:01 |
| hyper_ch | bart_17: http://packages.ubuntu.com --> but those are only the official repos... so no mp3 codecs | 12:01 |
| === hyper_ch likes vlc a lot | ||
| === hyper_ch but prefers amarok for playing music | ||
| vinze | hyper_ch, if you download vlc from there then I suppose you'll have MP3 support then | 12:02 |
| hyper_ch | vinze: if it's enclosed I think they will play... | 12:02 |
| hyper_ch | bart_17: how long will you still be online? | 12:02 |
| bart_17 | long, y? | 12:02 |
| vinze | hyper_ch, only problem is the amount of dependencies when downloading it manually | 12:03 |
| hyper_ch | I guess I'll just install xubuntu feisty in vmware and see what it fetches | 12:03 |
| bart_17 | ok, thanx | 12:03 |
| hyper_ch | bart_17: you have no inet available after you install feisty? | 12:03 |
| vinze | I was thinking about the "Generate Package Download Script" feature in Synaptic | 12:04 |
| === hyper_ch doesn't use synaptic | ||
| === vinze is starting VirtualBox | ||
| bart_17 | nope, as the pc is in our other house... | 12:04 |
| bart_17 | and that pc doesn't have a network card | 12:05 |
| hyper_ch | vinze: will you install xubi feisty in a virtual box? | 12:05 |
| hyper_ch | vinze: my cpu is currently doing massive things ;) | 12:05 |
| vinze | I'll just run the LiveCD and generate the download script | 12:05 |

| bart_17 | heya guys, where are you from if you don't mind me asking | 12:06 |
| hyper_ch | vinze: and you can also downloadand install vlc to see whether it does actually play mp3s out of the box | 12:06 |
| hyper_ch | bart_17: from home | 12:06 |

| vinze | Oooo, that's about nothing :P | 12:09 |
| hyper_ch | alternate | 12:09 |
| vinze | I prefer the LiveCD | 12:09 |
| hyper_ch | vinze: got an old computer | 12:09 |
| vinze | Try doing that with WinXP :P | 12:09 |
| hyper_ch | for installation the alternate normally gives less headache | 12:10 |

| bart_17 | i have the xubuntu fiesty livecd and booted it before.... i had one problem though | 12:19 |
| bart_17 | i could not go beyond a 640X480 screen resolution | 12:19 |
| hyper_ch | ATI? | 12:19 |
| vinze | That's annoying... | 12:19 |
| bart_17 | nope... it's a built in videocard... sis, i installed suse 9.1 personal last wek and i was able to go to 1024X768, but it was kinda too slow for me | 12:21 |
| bart_17 | SiS 530 chipset | 12:21 |
| hyper_ch | no clue... I only use nvidia | 12:21 |
| bart_17 | ok... but how do you configure the screen resolution? | 12:24 |
| vinze | Applications->Settings->Display Settings | 12:24 |
| bart_17 | but it only has 640X480 nothing else.. | 12:25 |
| vinze | Then you'd have to mess with some configuration files (Gutsy, the next version, will have a graphical tool to do this) | 12:26 |

| Geck1 | I was wondering if I could get help with a couple questions, does anyone know how I can install a theme? I downloaded one from xfce-look.org, but I don't know how to get to it | 07:21 |
| Geck1 | Secondly, if I make a new user, will that user have access to all the programs I already have installed on my computer? And is it possible to make this user not have a password, such as for a guest account? | 07:22 |

| Hansel | Geck1 - its a BAD idea to not have a password | 07:27 |
| Hansel | technically you can configure your Login manager to auto-login a user... setting NO password is BAD though... | 07:27 |
| Hansel | I use Gnome so I can tell you how to install a theme for that... usually I just drag and drop from my browser to the Theme Manager window and it auto-installs. | 07:28 |

| Geck1 | Hi, I just have one more question (sorry!) -- There are some screen shots here http://www.xfce.org/about/screenshots which are from xfce, which I think is the same thing that Xubuntu uses. I can't seem to find any themes like in those screenshots with alpha blended (transparent) windows/window borders. I didnt see any at xfce-look.org either. Does anyone know where to look for these transparent themes? | 07:47 |
| predaeus_ | Geck1, see Applications/Settings/Window Manager Tweaks there is a tab where you can enable compositing (which allows for fast transparency) | 07:49 |
| predaeus_ | Geck1, xfce comes with it's own composite manager, but you can use compiz too | 07:50 |

| Jester45 | hi | 09:54 |
| Jester45 | im having problems with cron | 09:54 |
| hyper_ch | what problems? | 09:54 |
| Jester45 | would anyone know why nothing runs by cron? i put the command in crontab but nothing happens | 09:55 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: I use cron quite simple | 09:55 |
| ablomen | Jester45, could you paste a line? | 09:55 |
| hyper_ch | I write a text file: cron.txt | 09:55 |
| hyper_ch | and then I just add it by issuing: crontab cron.txt | 09:55 |
| Jester45 | 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * root xfdesktop --reload | 09:56 |
| hyper_ch | root? | 09:56 |
| Jester45 | yea i didnt want to both with running itas a user | 09:56 |
| ablomen | huh | 09:57 |
| hyper_ch | root is not a command | 09:57 |
| hyper_ch | add the cron to the root crontab | 09:57 |
| Jester45 | its the user thats runs xfdesktop --reload | 09:57 |
| ablomen | Jester45, that doesnt work that | 09:58 |
| ablomen | way | 09:58 |
| Jester45 | that line is in /etc/crontab | 09:58 |
| === darrend [n=darren@100.95.187.81.in-addr.arpa] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| ablomen | just run sudo crontab -e if you want to run something as root | 09:58 |
| Jester45 | do i have to do that each boot? | 09:58 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: I don't understand what you want to do | 09:59 |
| ablomen | hyper_ch, ah.. | 09:59 |
| ablomen | hyper_ch, it adds the user in /etc/crontab | 09:59 |
| Jester45 | i want to run xfdesktop --replace every 5 mins | 09:59 |
| ablomen | # m h dom mon dow user command | 09:59 |
| Jester45 | eer --reload* | 10:00 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: do it differently | 10:00 |
| Jester45 | hyper_ch, how | 10:00 |
| ablomen | Jester45, use the full paths | 10:01 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: use this as a shell script | 10:01 |
| hyper_ch | http://phpfi.com/246206 | 10:01 |
| hyper_ch | and then run this script in cron | 10:01 |
| hyper_ch | 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * sh /home/hyper/wallpaperchanger.sh | 10:02 |
| hyper_ch | that is in my cron.txt | 10:02 |
| hyper_ch | and then add it to cron itself by issuing: crontab cron.txt | 10:02 |
| Jester45 | im confused | 10:02 |
| Jester45 | why renice xfdesktop to change the background | 10:03 |
| hyper_ch | well, if you have something important running that you don't want to lag | 10:03 |
| Jester45 | it takes like 1/25th of a second | 10:04 |
| hyper_ch | don't renice it then | 10:05 |
| Jester45 | so crontab cant do commands they have to be scripts? | 10:05 |
| hyper_ch | crontab can to an extent... but I found it simpler to make little scripts | 10:06 |
| Jester45 | ok i got the script | 10:09 |
| Jester45 | now how to add to cron? | 10:09 |
| Jester45 | i have been editing /etc/crontab | 10:09 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: I make im my home folder a cron.txt | 10:10 |
| hyper_ch | copy the cron command in there | 10:10 |
| hyper_ch | and add it by: crontab cron.txt | 10:10 |
| Jester45 | so but the entries into the .txt then crontab it? | 10:11 |
| Jester45 | put* | 10:11 |
| hyper_ch | this is in my cron.txt: 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * sh /home/hyper/wallpaperchanger.sh | 10:11 |
| Jester45 | sh is the user? | 10:11 |
| hyper_ch | no | 10:11 |
| hyper_ch | sh is the command to run a shell script | 10:12 |
| Jester45 | how do i tell cron to run it as root | 10:12 |
| hyper_ch | sudo crontab cron.txt | 10:12 |
| Jester45 | ok | 10:12 |
| hyper_ch | then it will be added to the root cron | 10:12 |
| hyper_ch | but why do you want to do that? | 10:12 |
| Jester45 | some times the diffrent ways to do 1 thing in linux is frustrating to learn | 10:13 |
| Jester45 | so that anyuser's desktop changes | 10:13 |
| Jester45 | and to update the entry? just sudo crontab it again? | 10:14 |
| hyper_ch | edit the text file | 10:14 |
| hyper_ch | and then again: sudo crontab cron.txt | 10:15 |
| Jester45 | now to make one start mpd as an alarm clock :) | 10:15 |
| Jester45 | k | 10:15 |
| hyper_ch | ? | 10:15 |
| hyper_ch | I just like to have my cron jobs in a text files... makes it much simpler to edit and transfer | 10:15 |
| Jester45 | 0 9 * * * alarmclock.sh | 10:16 |
| hyper_ch | that should work | 10:16 |
| Jester45 | alarmclock.sh = mpc volume mpc play | 10:17 |
| Jester45 | volume = 100 | 10:17 |
| Jester45 | and a htokey to turn it off :0 | 10:17 |
| hyper_ch | I use my cellphone as alarm clock | 10:19 |
| Sharn | Or just sudo crontab -e to edit roots crontab file.... | 10:19 |
| Sharn | And, if your using xfce you don't need a seperate script to change the wallpaper. | 10:20 |
| hyper_ch | Sharn: how do you do it then? | 10:21 |
| Sharn | One sec | 10:21 |
| hyper_ch | kde has an integrated changer | 10:21 |

| Jester45 | nihang, is that if you install a cli server, you have to set up your dial up via cli wich is harder. but if you dual-boot or have a 2nd computer you can transfer the xubuntu-dsktop packages over so that its simpler | 10:39 |
| linuxnub | ive done the fusesmb install too for thunar works great | 10:39 |
| === Jester45 likes to fuse ftp | ||
| linuxnub | would doing an apt-get remove gnome do the trick or would that screw things up | 10:40 |
| === hyper_ch is using konqueror | ||
| Jester45 | fuseftp is better than any filemanager could do... it even lets to use it in the cli | 10:40 |
| hyper_ch | linuxnub: hmmm, if the trick to completly remove gnome can be done with removing one package, why do you think did psychocat list all the relevant packages? | 10:41 |
| linuxnub | to get back to pure xfce | 10:41 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: ever had a look at konqui? | 10:41 |
| linuxnub | which is not necessarily the right thing to do with xubuntu | 10:41 |
| linuxnub | matter of fact thats probably pretty dumb to do with xubuntu | 10:42 |
| hyper_ch | linuxnub: then you did not carefully read what psychocat writes | 10:42 |
| Jester45 | http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=ubuntu-desktop&searchon=names&version=all&release=all | 10:43 |
| Jester45 | nixternal, i could help you out a little by pre downloading the packages and compressing it all | 10:44 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: nihang left | 10:44 |
| Jester45 | oops | 10:44 |
| Jester45 | i just ni<tab> | 10:44 |

| linuxnub | well fuseftp or fusesmb i guess they both work pretty well | 10:45 |
| linuxnub | for me fusesmb absolutely screams in thunar | 10:45 |
| Jester45 | yea... but the ubuntu repos doesnt have smb support :0 | 10:47 |

| TaJMoX | hyper_ch im using your wallpaper script it works way better than what i had before (closer to what you used Sharn) | 10:53 |
| hyper_ch | TaJMoX: those suggestions aren't from me... someone made them in my howto and I just use them now also | 10:54 |

| maximilian1st | Hi folks | 12:11 |
| illu45 | hi | 12:11 |
| maximilian1st | To the gutsy gibbon users wanting to get rid of Network Manager for the wireless side, I can suggest to take a look at the Airconfig project. http://spuriousinterrupt.org/projects/airconfig It works here on my notebook and looks very promising. | 12:13 |
| Jester45 | ok | 12:14 |
| maximilian1st | it depends on ghal which is to be found on the same svn server and location as airconfig itself. | 12:16 |
| Jester45 | i will past that on, i myself im hooked to gbit networking | 12:18 |
| Jester45 | i tink i would blast my brains out if transfering all my data over wireless | 12:18 |
| Jester45 | hyper_ch, my cron is still not working but i will talk about that later | 12:19 |
