=== Topic (#xubuntu): set by Pumpernickel at Sun May 20 02:21:34 2007
(rathel/#xubuntu) lol The scroll wheel on my mouse scrolls to fast how do I slow it down?05:46
(Jester45/#xubuntu) i dont know05:46
(Jester45/#xubuntu) it doesnt seem to lively in here right now05:46
(Jester45/#xubuntu) im sure its a setting with xorg05:47
(rathel/#xubuntu) No it doesn't.05:47
Jester45google might be your best option right now05:47
rathelI've been lookin around for the setting, can't find it.05:47
Jester45i *think* firefox might have a setting but thats for just ff05:48

rathelIt's scrolling by like 20 lines in every application, it's kind of annoying.05:49
Jester45what mouse it is and what kind of connectors does it have05:50
Catoptromancyrathel : if that only happens in firefox you can adjust it in "preference"s or "options" menu05:51
Jester45its all apps05:52
Catoptromancyhm05:52
Catoptromancyarr dont remember exact name05:53
Catoptromancyits adjust in settings menu05:53
Catoptromancy= ( on linux right now, cant check05:53
rathelJester45, sorry, I was reading up online, it's a Microsoft Notebook Wireless USB mouse.05:55
Jester45i was thinking it was MS05:55
Jester45my friend has the same thing the wheel is really sensitive05:56
Jester45im guessing windows ignores it and linux uses every little bit it moves as a movement or it just messed up05:56
Jester45he has his set up to scroll 3 pages on 1/2 a turn05:57
Jester45so if you touch it it moves a few lines05:57
rathelYeah.05:58
Jester45i dont like it because it has no resistance to move, i bet if you blew on it hard it would move the wheel06:00
rathelbrb, I think I found a solution have to restartx.06:02

Jester45im allways here06:59
j1mcwould you mind helping me?06:59
Jester45:)06:59
Jester45idk how much help i would be06:59
j1mclet me pastebin my config files06:59
j1mcif that's ok06:59
Jester45sure06:59
j1mchttp://pastebin.ca/66409307:01
j1mcthere's the first one.  that's my server07:02

j1mchttp://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/INSTALL07:03
j1mci have an hp 102007:03
j1mcJester45: are you vincent?  do you run the xubuntu blog?07:03
Jester45no07:03
j1mcok07:03
j1mc:)07:03
Jester45yep, just as i thought i know nothing about cups07:04
Jester45why not just use the printer gui07:04
j1mci'm trying to use the printer gui07:04
j1mcbut you need to set up some stuff in cups first07:04
j1mcand the server itself doesn't have a gui07:05
j1mci'm using the webmin-like interface of the server, though...07:05
j1mcit's apparently not helping much.  :)07:05
j1mcah, well.  thanks for giving it a try, Jester45 :)07:06
j1mci might give that up and just try to get everything installed locally.07:06
Jester45you could do that07:06
j1mci don't really need network printing that bad.07:06
Jester45then copy the config07:06
Jester45web ui's suck when the server load is high07:08
j1mceh, it's just my home server07:08
j1mc1 user :)07:08

Jester45its converting videos07:09
Jester45lol07:09
j1mci thought rebooting would help.  i had 17 days uptime.  heh.  (that's a lot for me considering i don't use the server too much)07:09
j1mcok, well, i'm off.  have a good night, Jester4507:10

bart_17yeah like a usb flash drive or hd08:43
bart_17i have a usb hd formatted in ntfs.. i can't write to ntfs ryt?08:43
kalikiana_bart_17, You can use ntfs3g if you trust it ;)08:44
bart_17do you trust it?08:45
bart_17do you have an external drive?08:46
Jester45ntfs3g is a driver so linux can use ntfs08:46
bart_17is it any good?08:46
Jester45i would format because ntfs sucks08:46
bart_17how would i format it? its a 60gb usbhd, i want to format it but i want to use it as well as on my windows machine08:47
Jester45a good ext3 or reiserFSv4 would be much better08:48
bart_17would i be able to use that format in windows?08:48
Jester45you can use ext08:48
Jester45if you want to use it in windows08:49
Jester45ntfs would probly be best08:49
Jester45and you wouldnt have to format08:49
bart_17ok, thanx. but i still want to know how to format in linux08:49
Jester45gparted works08:51

bobovski_hi all. I've got a network puzzler. My laptop runnin xubuntu 7.04 cannot stay connected at work via a wired connection. Works fine at home. Is it necessarily the fault of the server at work?12:01
viddbobovski_, it could be....12:02
vidddo you get a dhcp connection at work?12:03
bobovski_vidd: yes12:03
bobovski_I have to disable and enable the wired connection in the network manager, and it mostly connects. sometimes not12:03
bobovski_Might it be something simple like diabling ipv6 globally?12:04
bobovski_if the server didn't recognize ipv6...would I be able to connect at all?12:04
viddyou have ipv6 enabled???12:04
bobovski_indeed, no choice of mine, mind you12:04
bobovski_I noticed on dmesg that it was searchinf for ipv6 connections12:05
hyper_chiiiieeks... ipv612:05
viddyour client should know that the server does not handle ipv6 and use ipv4 automatically12:05
bobovski_yeah, I had a problem with dns resolution on my home machine and stopping ipv6 worked there...was curious if that would lead to these symptoms on the laptop12:05
bobovski_vidd, hurm. In the hosts section of the network manager it lists all ipv6 stuff12:06
viddit should also list ipv4 stuff12:06
bobovski_I have the laptop at home now connection working fine. lat me chack ethe network manager12:07
viddidk if there is a way to force ipv412:07
bobovski_everything says ip612:07
bobovski_vidd, there is a way to do it12:07
viddthen @ work, run that command12:08
bobovski_I will, but I was curious to know if anyone else had a fix or an idea if that doesn't work12:08
viddwindows only network @ work?12:08
bobovski_nope, we have sun machines, windows and linux all running12:09
bobovski_here's the real kicker. The laptop was connected fine, then the IT guys enabled a second ethernet port in my office. Now my laptop won't stay connected through either port12:11
viddsounds like a routing issue12:12
viddproblem with the port...maybe a loose wire12:12
bobovski_on both ports? INcluding the one that worked fine before?12:12
bobovski_or does a loose wire in one port affect all of them?12:13
viddif they spliced that port...yeah12:13
bobovski_nah, these ports are distinct. Pre-wired12:13
bobovski_aas far as I know in the office anyway.12:13
viddwell...you said they made one port into two...12:14
bobovski_no, I said they enabled a second ethernet port12:14
bobovski_there are bunches of ports all over the office, some were disabled12:14
viddah...i misunderstood12:14
bobovski_no worries12:14
bobovski_think that might have something to do with it?12:15
viddyeah....12:15
bobovski_bummer hehe cause if it's a server side issue it'll never get fixed12:15
viddif the IT guys messed up the port jacks, that will cause all kinds of issues12:16
viddfirst thing i would do is run that command to disable ipv612:17
bobovski_yeah, that's a start12:17
bobovski_xubuntu doesn't auto update or anything without notification right?12:17
viddnot unless you make it12:18
bobovski_hurm. The ipv6 thing is a long shot, though, as the connection was fine before the second port was enabled12:18
=== vidd has seen issues come up when they start moving wires
bobovski_yah, me too. Well, in an office adjacent to mine, there are more ports. I will try those and see what's what. I will also ask others if they can connect in my office12:21
