[05:46] (rathel/#xubuntu) lol The scroll wheel on my mouse scrolls to fast how do I slow it down?
[05:46] (Jester45/#xubuntu) i dont know
[05:46] (Jester45/#xubuntu) it doesnt seem to lively in here right now
[05:47] (Jester45/#xubuntu) im sure its a setting with xorg
[05:47] (rathel/#xubuntu) No it doesn't.
[05:47] <Jester45> google might be your best option right now
[05:47] <rathel> I've been lookin around for the setting, can't find it.
[05:48] <Jester45> i *think* firefox might have a setting but thats for just ff
[05:49] <rathel> It's scrolling by like 20 lines in every application, it's kind of annoying.
[05:50] <Jester45> what mouse it is and what kind of connectors does it have
[05:51] <Catoptromancy> rathel : if that only happens in firefox you can adjust it in "preference"s or "options" menu
[05:52] <Jester45> its all apps
[05:52] <Catoptromancy> hm
[05:53] <Catoptromancy> arr dont remember exact name
[05:53] <Catoptromancy> its adjust in settings menu
[05:53] <Catoptromancy> = ( on linux right now, cant check
[05:55] <rathel> Jester45, sorry, I was reading up online, it's a Microsoft Notebook Wireless USB mouse.
[05:55] <Jester45> i was thinking it was MS
[05:56] <Jester45> my friend has the same thing the wheel is really sensitive
[05:56] <Jester45> im guessing windows ignores it and linux uses every little bit it moves as a movement or it just messed up
[05:57] <Jester45> he has his set up to scroll 3 pages on 1/2 a turn
[05:57] <Jester45> so if you touch it it moves a few lines
[05:58] <rathel> Yeah.
[06:00] <Jester45> i dont like it because it has no resistance to move, i bet if you blew on it hard it would move the wheel
[06:02] <rathel> brb, I think I found a solution have to restartx.
[06:58] <j1mc> anyone here good with printing via cups from xubuntu
[06:58] <j1mc> i'm having problems.  :(
[06:58] <j1mc> eh, it's midnight here.  i should go to bed anyway.
[06:58] <Jester45> yep
[06:58] <j1mc> later, all
[06:58] <Jester45> bye
[06:59] <j1mc> hi Jester45
[06:59] <j1mc> hehe
[06:59] <Jester45> im allways here
[06:59] <j1mc> would you mind helping me?
[06:59] <Jester45> :)
[06:59] <Jester45> idk how much help i would be
[06:59] <j1mc> let me pastebin my config files
[06:59] <j1mc> if that's ok
[06:59] <Jester45> sure
[07:01] <j1mc> http://pastebin.ca/664093
[07:02] <j1mc> there's the first one.  that's my server
[07:03] <j1mc> and i used these instructions: http://20six.co.uk/jabolins/art/14803150
[07:03] <j1mc> http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/INSTALL
[07:03] <j1mc> i have an hp 1020
[07:03] <j1mc> Jester45: are you vincent?  do you run the xubuntu blog?
[07:03] <Jester45> no
[07:03] <j1mc> ok
[07:03] <j1mc> :)
[07:04] <Jester45> yep, just as i thought i know nothing about cups
[07:04] <Jester45> why not just use the printer gui
[07:04] <j1mc> i'm trying to use the printer gui
[07:04] <j1mc> but you need to set up some stuff in cups first
[07:05] <j1mc> and the server itself doesn't have a gui
[07:05] <j1mc> i'm using the webmin-like interface of the server, though...
[07:05] <j1mc> it's apparently not helping much.  :)
[07:06] <j1mc> ah, well.  thanks for giving it a try, Jester45 :)
[07:06] <j1mc> i might give that up and just try to get everything installed locally.
[07:06] <Jester45> you could do that
[07:06] <j1mc> i don't really need network printing that bad.
[07:06] <Jester45> then copy the config
[07:08] <Jester45> web ui's suck when the server load is high
[07:08] <j1mc> eh, it's just my home server
[07:08] <j1mc> 1 user :)
[07:08] <Jester45> im taking about my own server
[07:09] <j1mc> 00:09:21 up 16 min,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.03
[07:09] <Jester45> its converting videos
[07:09] <Jester45> lol
[07:09] <j1mc> i 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)
[07:10] <j1mc> ok, well, i'm off.  have a good night, Jester45
[07:11] <Jester45> 01:09:32 up 20 days, 13:47,  7 users,  load average: 6.66, 6.05, 4.69
[07:11] <Jester45> night
[07:11] <j1mc> heh.
[07:11] <j1mc> later
[07:11] <Jester45> i wish i got under 1.0
[07:52] <bart_17> what is a good irc client i can use in xubuntu?
[07:58] <Jester45> xchat
[07:58] <Jester45> irssi
[07:58] <bart_17> how do i get that??
[07:58] <Jester45> apt-get install xchat
[07:59] <Jester45> run that in a terminal
[07:59] <Jester45> o and you need to be root so add sudo in front
[08:00] <bart_17> i just installed xubuntu on my laptop and i just getting things configured...
[08:00] <bart_17> thanx
[08:04] <bart_17> i'm a noob..
[08:04] <bart_17> i did that already.. where do i find it?
[08:05] <Jester45> menu -> network -> xchat
[08:05] <Jester45> or run xchat in the terminal
[08:06] <bart_17> thanx jester
[08:07] <Jester45> np
[08:07] <Jester45> got anymore questions?
[08:07] <Jester45> im about to go to bed
[08:07] <bart_17> how do i add it to the menu??
[08:08] <Jester45> it should be in the menu
[08:08] <bart_17> its not...
[08:08] <bart_17> it is now/...
[08:08] <Jester45> try again
[08:08] <Jester45> it takes a bit after a package is installed to show up
[08:08] <bart_17> i can't get my desktop to go over 800X600
[08:09] <Jester45> the menu only checks for new things every few minutes
[08:09] <Jester45> what video card
[08:09] <Jester45> and is this a laptop or desktop
[08:10] <bart_17> laptop, ati radeon xpress 200m
[08:10] <Jester45> if it is a laptop is it older or new
[08:11] <bart_17> new.. its a asus a6rp
[08:12] <bart_17> i don't also have sound
[08:13] <Jester45> try
[08:13] <Jester45> menu -> system -> restricted device manager
[08:13] <Jester45> and see if you need any thing
[08:14] <bart_17> i installed the restricted driver already
[08:14] <Jester45> have you shutdown yet?
[08:14] <Jester45> if not then open a termina
[08:14] <Jester45> l
[08:15] <Jester45> and run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[08:15] <Jester45> it will stop everything
[08:15] <Jester45> so save your work first
[08:16] <bart_17> i restarted already.. twice
[08:16] <Jester45> humm
[08:17] <Jester45> maybe try coming back later, if you can leave your computer on someone that knows might look and know the way to fix it
[08:17] <bart_17> ok.. thanx i'll do that
[08:18] <bart_17> goodnight.. its just 2pm here
[08:18] <Jester45> if you cant maybe they will read what im saying now and tell me so when you get back on i can tell you
[08:19] <bart_17> ok thanx.. i'll just wait here... i have nothing else to do.. i'll just download and install some software
[08:21] <bart_17> btw, how do you format removable devices in linux?
[08:27] <Jester45> like a usb drive?
[08:27] <Jester45> i wouldnt format unless its a disk version or you really need to
[08:43] <bart_17> yeah like a usb flash drive or hd
[08:43] <bart_17> i have a usb hd formatted in ntfs.. i can't write to ntfs ryt?
[08:44] <kalikiana_> bart_17, You can use ntfs3g if you trust it ;)
[08:45] <bart_17> do you trust it?
[08:46] <bart_17> do you have an external drive?
[08:46] <Jester45> ntfs3g is a driver so linux can use ntfs
[08:46] <bart_17> is it any good?
[08:46] <Jester45> i would format because ntfs sucks
[08:47] <bart_17> how 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 machine
[08:48] <Jester45> a good ext3 or reiserFSv4 would be much better
[08:48] <bart_17> would i be able to use that format in windows?
[08:48] <Jester45> you can use ext
[08:49] <Jester45> if you want to use it in windows
[08:49] <Jester45> ntfs would probly be best
[08:49] <Jester45> and you wouldnt have to format
[08:49] <bart_17> ok, thanx. but i still want to know how to format in linux
[08:51] <Jester45> gparted works
[08:51] <Jester45> but it does use some gnome libs
[08:56] <bart_17> ok
[09:38] <rathel> How do I change the sensitivity on my Scroll Wheel?
[10:13] <lnx> how i can run alt + f2 to open "run command" from xfwm4 ?
[11:08] <Catoptromancy> do I find screensavers "not installed" from screensaver list?
[11:08] <Catoptromancy> apt-cache search finds nothing relevant
[11:08] <Catoptromancy> there should be a button "download all listed screensavers"
[12:04] <gabii> how do i install alsa driver, lib and utils
[12:13] <gabii> how do i install alsa driver, lib and utils??
[12:20] <gabii> hey the sheep
[12:21] <bart_17> hey hyper_ch

[12:43] <macsim> hi, what's the better way to launch applications at xfce4 statup ? (.Xsession ?)
[12:45] <m0u5e> macsim: you can save your session, or you can add it to the autostart application list
[12:45] <m0u5e> applications>settings>auto started applications
[12:45] <macsim> thx m0u5e
[12:45] <m0u5e> macsim: np :)
[12:48] <macsim> a last one ;) openoffice quick start doen't seams to be avalable I forgot to install something or it's normal ?
[12:48] <m0u5e> you mean like the quicklauncher?
[12:48] <macsim> yes
[12:48] <m0u5e> macsim: hmm check the repost? you probably need to download that seperately (i dont see it on mine either)
[12:49] <m0u5e> macsim: its very possible that there just isnt a linux version... but check first :D
[12:50] <macsim> m0u5e, ok thanks ;)
[12:51] <m0u5e> imacsim: i see one for kde... dunno about gnome
[12:51] <m0u5e> macsim*
[12:51] <macsim> m0u5e, I seen it for kde but I'll not try to load any kde things on my poor laptop ;)
[12:52] <m0u5e> wait, are you talking about the quickstarter tray, or just a gui quickstarter with links to all oo applications?
[12:52] <macsim> quickstarter tray
[12:52] <m0u5e> cause if your talking about the quicstarter tray, it should come standard with oo
[12:52] <m0u5e> its an option...
[12:52] <m0u5e> lemme check..
[12:52] <macsim> m0u5e, is but it's not avalable
[12:52] <m0u5e> yeah, you already have it, you just need to enable it :D
[12:52] <macsim> m0u5e, no I can't
[12:53] <macsim> let me do a screenshot
[12:53] <m0u5e> oh i see
[12:53] <m0u5e> its greyed out :X
[12:53] <m0u5e> hrm.....
[12:53] <macsim> m0u5e, yes you seen what I mean now ;)
[12:56] <m0u5e> hmm how bout openoffice.org-gtk ?
[12:56] <m0u5e> it says theres a quicklauncher inside
[12:57] <macsim> I install it imediatly ;)

[05:50] <j1mc> hi nixternal
[05:50] <j1mc> do you have any xubuntu questions that you need help with?
[05:50] <nixternal> howdy
[05:52] <nixternal> can't say that I do :D
[05:52] <j1mc> nixternal: sudo apt-get automatix dist-upgrade.sources.list.exe.net
[05:52] <j1mc> ;-)
[05:52] <nixternal> ouch
[05:52] <j1mc> we provide good user support in #xubuntu
[05:55] <vidd> wtf....did i miss something???
[05:56] <j1mc> just joking with nixternal
[06:54] <emdash> i've noticed lately that rubber band selection doesn't work on the desktop any more
[06:55] <emdash> is there an option to disable it that i may have accidentally hit?
[06:55] <emdash> or have I found a bug?
[06:55] <emdash> it still works in thunar windows, just not on the desktop
[06:57] <Ktron> Questions about xubuntu tribe 4 beling in xubuntu-dev, right?
[07:11] <Thunderman> Xubuntu 7.04 didn't work after restarting. I update it and retarted, then it said that GKD is missing or something like that
[07:11] <Thunderman> *restarted
[07:12] <kek> hello, I have a problem with my wifi card. I just installed xubuntu and plugged the card (asus wl-167g usb stick, should have a ralink rt2500 chipset) in. I used the network manager to configure it to connect to my wireless network but it won't connect. iwconfig does show the correct mac address for the AP however. can't ping the router. any takers?
[07:22] <vidd> kek is the wap
[07:22] <vidd> *it
[07:22] <kek> sorry?
[07:22] <cjae> what is a wap
[07:23] <vidd> what kind of wireless security do you use?
[07:23] <Thunderman> Wireless Application Protocol = WAP
[07:23] <kek> none atm, I'm in the middle of nowhere..
[07:23] <cjae> isnt it wep and wpa
[07:23] <cjae> oh right'
[07:24] <vidd> cjae, it was a typo
[07:24] <cjae> wep = blows right
[07:25] <cjae> sorry for eavesdropping curious
[07:25] <vidd> kek you verified your router settings?
[07:26] <vidd> your symptoms indicate that you are connecting to the router but do not have permission from the router to pass data....
[07:26] <kek> it should not have any restrictions, no mac filtering etc. or what are you thinking?
[07:26] <vidd> if you dont have wpa or wep, then look at mac filtering
[07:26] <kek> maybe it needs me to specify a channel?
[07:27] <vidd> are you using a static or dhcp ip?
[07:27] <kek> dhcp
[07:28] <vidd> then the channel auto selected should be good
[07:29] <kek> in ubuntu, there is a dropdown list of available connections where you enter the essid, don't see any networks under there in xubuntu, only an empty dropdown
[07:30] <vidd> try setting up with a static ip
[07:31] <kek> okay, will try. and how do I check the mac address of the wifi card itself? so I can check my router
[07:32] <vidd> kek if you turn off mac filtering it should not matter
[07:32] <vidd> but ifconfig will tell you the mac address of the eth card
[07:33] <kek> from the router I see some other card besides mine but I have 4 laptops that can be connected and I don't know which one the on is that I see
[07:33] <kek> maybe it's just very bad reception?
[07:33] <kek> I'm not next to the router
[07:33] <vidd> could be
[07:34] <kek> hm, when I had that card under windows, it worked fine from where it is now
[07:34] <kek> I'll try to move the comp nearer to the router
[07:34] <kstr> Is it possible to move my entire linux installation to another hard drive? How can i daoit?
[07:36] <vidd> it is possible...but i dont recomend it
[07:37] <kstr> the problem is that i'm lacking hard drive space... is moving the 'home' recommended?
[07:38] <vidd> yes....
[07:39] <kstr> how can i do that?
[07:39] <vidd> there are a few ways to do it
[07:40] <vidd> one isto  get your live cd running with the old hard drive and the new hard drive
[07:41] <vidd> prepare the new hard drive partitions....
[07:42] <vidd> cpy the /home directory from the old drive to the new drive on its own partition (this is critical)
[07:43] <BFTD> I ran out of space on root, what should I remove to make more space?
[07:43] <kstr> the home dir in just on a ext3 type pertition?
[07:44] <vidd> remove the old drive, install on the new drive and enable the /home directory
[07:44] <vidd> yes
[07:45] <kstr> how can i enable the /home dir?
[07:46] <vidd> during the install process, you choose the partitioning
[07:46] <vidd> the default is to set eveything on one partition
[07:47] <kstr> ok
[07:47] <vidd> instead, you set it up using more then one partition
[07:47] <kstr> can it be altered without installing again?
[07:48] <vidd> you need to do the install on the new drive
[07:48] <kstr> oh
[07:49] <vidd> you CAN try what i said with the ENTIRE ols drive to the new....but i wont guarentee it will boot
[07:49] <kstr> i see
[07:49] <vidd> the install process sets up the MBR so the system knows that the drive is bootable
[07:50] <kstr> well the other disk had debian on it (just command line)
[07:51] <vidd> why not just add the second drive as a second drive?
[07:52] <kstr> Is it correct to say that i could make a new partition on the second drive and set it up as my home dir
[07:52] <hyper_ch> kstr: yes
[07:52] <kstr> then how would i 'tell' ubuntu where my home dir is
[07:53] <kek> vidd, thanks for your time. it was the poor reception after all.. 
[07:53] <J_P> hi all
[07:54] <J_P> people, xubuntu use XFCE right ? And XFCE is write using gtk too ?
[07:54] <vidd> kek glad to hear it
[07:54] <hyper_ch> kstr: /etc/fstab
[07:54] <kstr> oh
[07:55] <J_P> ??
[07:55] <hyper_ch> kstr: but first you need to copy your current /home stuff on it
[07:56] <hyper_ch> kstr: (1) copy stuff:    sudo cp -Rp /home/* /new/partition/
[07:56] <hyper_ch> kstr: (2) sudo mount /new/partition /home
[07:57] <hyper_ch> kstr: (3) check if everything looks ok
[07:57] <kstr> oh ok mount it to /home... sounds logical
[07:57] <kstr> i'l  try that
[07:58] <vidd> kstr, wait
[07:58] <hyper_ch> (4) edit fstab:  sudo nano /etc/fstab
[07:58] <vidd> get all the instructions first
[07:59] <hyper_ch> and add an entry like:   /new/partition /home           ext3    defaults        0       2
[07:59] <hyper_ch> (5) exit nano by pressing   ctrl-x
[07:59] <hyper_ch> (6) press "y" for saving/overwriting the existing fstab
[07:59] <hyper_ch> (7) reboot
[07:59] <hyper_ch> actually wait
[08:00] <hyper_ch> before altering the fstab, make a copy of it
[08:00] <kstr> ok
[08:00] <hyper_ch> sudo cp fstab fstab_old
[08:00] <hyper_ch> in case something is not working, you just copy the old one back and reboot
[08:00] <hyper_ch> I mean if you get no gui and stuff :)
[08:01] <kstr> ok
[08:02] <hyper_ch> kstr: the terminal should start or then using the live cd to access and copy back the old one
[08:02] <hyper_ch> kstr: or something like this... just make sure you have a backup :)
[08:02] <kstr> i will
[08:02] <kstr> thanks a lot
[08:03] <hyper_ch> and once you rebooted, do:   df -l   --> it will show you where each partition is mounted to :)
[08:05] <kstr> do the existing uuid change when i add a partition to a disk?
[08:06] <hyper_ch> no they shouldn't... only if the existing partitions are being altered, like shrinked or enlarged
[08:06] <hyper_ch> but I don't know for sure
[08:07] <kstr> i shrunk an existing partition to make room for the new one...  I'll check in ls /dev/disk/byuuid -lah right?
[08:07] <hyper_ch> !uuid
[08:07] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[08:08] <hyper_ch> !uuid | kstr
[08:08] <ubotu> kstr: please see above
[08:11] <kstr> oh your way is much quicker
[08:13] <cjae> amphetamine ...wt*
[08:13] <cjae> why does it install to /etc/
[08:14] <cjae> supposed to be a 2D game I think
[08:26] <kstr> hyper: ru still here?
[08:28] <kstr>  i tried sudo cp -Rp /home/* /dev/sda3 and it says something like "cannot overwrite"
[08:30] <rici> kstr: /dev/sda3 is not a filesystem
[08:30] <kstr> sorry?
[08:42] <kstr> sudo got to go /bye
[08:48] <Jester45> does anyone know how to make the settings i make in xvidtune stay after a X restart

[09:35] <pleia2> sorry
[10:35] <Pres-Gas> So, is the main support traffic happening in regular ubuntu?
[10:36] <hyper_ch> Pres-Gas: ?
[10:39] <Pres-Gas> hyper_ch, there is not alot of traffic here, just wondering if the activity is in ubuntu?
[10:39] <pleia2> there are a lot more people in #ubuntu, so yes, more traffic there
[10:40] <pleia2> not as many people use xubuntu
[10:40] <Pres-Gas> I figured as much
[10:40] <hyper_ch> Pres-Gas: well, TheSheep does generally such a great support that no questiosn will be unanswered and people leave again ;)
[10:42] <Pres-Gas> Well, then, time to hang out....you know, just incase a problem comes up...then I will leave
[10:43] <hyper_ch> Pres-Gas: I have one :)
[10:43] <Pres-Gas> oops...time to leave
[10:43] <Pres-Gas> ;)
[10:43] <hyper_ch> Pres-Gas: oh :(
[10:44] <Pres-Gas> jk
[10:45] <Merchelo> how do i run files which end in .x86 and  .run ?
[10:46] <hyper_ch> Pres-Gas: can you give me a faster computer and a notebook?
[10:46] <hyper_ch> Pres-Gas: ;)
[10:46] <hyper_ch> Merchelo: what are you trying to do?
[10:46] <Pres-Gas> Me first
[10:46] <Merchelo> just run them, one is to update a program, the other is to run the program, i don't have a clue how to run them from the terminal
[10:50] <Merchelo> it's ok, gottit, ./*.x86
[10:51] <hyper_ch> Merchelo: doy ou know what you are doing?
[10:52] <Merchelo> yeah, it's been some time, but i think it's all coming back to me, just like the Jason Bourne Film :o
[10:57] <lnx_> how i can add "force exit" icon to the panel ?
[11:02] <lnx_> how i can add "force exit" icon to the panel ?
[11:05] <LuisHenrique> hello! Is what the best mirror of download?
[11:06] <Merchelo> the one closest to you
[11:08] <Merchelo> i'd go for the OZ one, or holland one
[11:13] <rathel> How do I change the sensitivity on my Scroll wheel?
[11:20] <lnx_> how i can add borders to the taskbar windows ?
[11:22] <ziaIs> lnx_ : try right clicking your taskbar and going in its properties
[11:22] <ziaIs> and try unchecking the "use flat buttons" option
[11:25] <lnx_> ziaIs , yea thanks
[11:25] <lnx_> how i can add "force exit" icon to the panel ?
[11:27] <zials> you mean an icon that allows you to close an unresponsive application?
[11:28] <lnx_> zials , yes , when i click it it will say " click on the aplication you want to close "
[11:28] <zials> not sure about an icon... but you can use ctrl + alt + esc
[11:28] <rathel> How do I change the sensitivity on my scroll wheel?
[11:30] <lnx_> zials , i had it in gnome iits was icon of broken window
[11:32] <zials> lnx_ - I know, but I haven't seen one in XFCE
[11:33] <lnx_> :( its was one of my favorite ( this the weather and the fish )
[11:34] <Jester45> you can use gnome panel plugins with xfce i forgot the package name
[11:34] <Jester45> but it also uses a lot og gnome's lib so you will lose a lot of xfce's speed
[11:35] <lnx_> Jester45 , if that is the state i prefer not to use them
[11:36] <zials> three keys isn't too hard to type is it ;)
[11:36] <lnx_> zials , wich keys ?
[11:36] <zials> ctrl alt esc
[11:37] <lnx_> zials , great that is what i look for
[11:37] <zials> I said the command earlier O.o
[11:39] <lnx_> i can change the shortcut keys ? [ to ctrl + alt + del ]  ?
[11:40] <zials> yea...
[11:40] <zials> or, I think so
[11:40] <zials> come to think of it, you can add it to the panel if you want...
[11:41] <zials> yea, heh.. you want it on a panel?
[11:41] <zials> right click on panel -> add new item -> Launcher
[11:42] <zials> You can give whatever name/description/icon you want..
[11:42] <zials> the command is: xkill
[11:43] <lnx_> zials , yes its work thanks
[11:48] <lnx> i can unselect the files name that are on the dekstop ?
[12:01] <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?
[12:02] <vidd> bobovski_, it could be....
[12:03] <vidd> do you get a dhcp connection at work?
[12:03] <bobovski_> vidd: yes
[12:03] <bobovski_> I have to disable and enable the wired connection in the network manager, and it mostly connects. sometimes not
[12:04] <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] <vidd> you have ipv6 enabled???
[12:04] <bobovski_> indeed, no choice of mine, mind you
[12:05] <bobovski_> I noticed on dmesg that it was searchinf for ipv6 connections
[12:05] <hyper_ch> iiiieeks... ipv6
[12:05] <vidd> your client should know that the server does not handle ipv6 and use ipv4 automatically
[12:05] <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 laptop
[12:06] <bobovski_> vidd, hurm. In the hosts section of the network manager it lists all ipv6 stuff
[12:06] <vidd> it should also list ipv4 stuff
[12:07] <bobovski_> I have the laptop at home now connection working fine. lat me chack ethe network manager
[12:07] <vidd> idk if there is a way to force ipv4
[12:07] <bobovski_> everything says ip6
[12:07] <bobovski_> vidd, there is a way to do it
[12:08] <vidd> then @ work, run that command
[12:08] <bobovski_> I will, but I was curious to know if anyone else had a fix or an idea if that doesn't work
[12:08] <vidd> windows only network @ work?
[12:09] <bobovski_> nope, we have sun machines, windows and linux all running
[12:11] <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 port
[12:12] <vidd> sounds like a routing issue
[12:12] <vidd> problem with the port...maybe a loose wire
[12:12] <bobovski_> on both ports? INcluding the one that worked fine before?
[12:13] <bobovski_> or does a loose wire in one port affect all of them?
[12:13] <vidd> if they spliced that port...yeah
[12:13] <bobovski_> nah, these ports are distinct. Pre-wired
[12:13] <bobovski_> aas far as I know in the office anyway.
[12:14] <vidd> well...you said they made one port into two...
[12:14] <bobovski_> no, I said they enabled a second ethernet port
[12:14] <bobovski_> there are bunches of ports all over the office, some were disabled
[12:14] <vidd> ah...i misunderstood
[12:14] <bobovski_> no worries
[12:15] <bobovski_> think that might have something to do with it?
[12:15] <vidd> yeah....
[12:15] <bobovski_> bummer hehe cause if it's a server side issue it'll never get fixed
[12:16] <vidd> if the IT guys messed up the port jacks, that will cause all kinds of issues
[12:17] <vidd> first thing i would do is run that command to disable ipv6
[12:17] <bobovski_> yeah, that's a start
[12:17] <bobovski_> xubuntu doesn't auto update or anything without notification right?
[12:18] <vidd> not unless you make it
[12:18] <bobovski_> hurm. The ipv6 thing is a long shot, though, as the connection was fine before the second port was enabled
[12:21] <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 office
[12:21] <bobovski_> thanks for the insight, appreciate yer time
[12:25] <lnx> i can open links ( files , folders ) in one click ( like KDE ) ?
[12:37] <zials> lnx - yes you can
[12:37] <zials> in thunar: edit -> preferences -> 'behaviour' tab
[12:39] <kekk> any place you can set custom keyboard shortcuts?
[12:44] <Jester45> kekk, menu -> settings -> keyboard settings -> shortcuts -> add
[12:44] <kekk> thanks
[12:44] <Jester45> you can to make a new list of shortcuts then add new ones to that
[12:45] <hyper_ch> !oss
[12:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about oss - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:45] <hyper_ch> !alsa
[12:45] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[12:45] <Jester45> it will copy the defualt shortcuts to the new list
[12:53] <kekk> ok
[12:57] <bart_17> hey jester
[12:58] <Jester45> hi
