wireLESShey guys, i need some help with wireless.. i have a prism54 device, which works when i plug it in, but does not work on reboot/startup until i remove and plug it back in.. so i tested ndiswrapper, but it ONLY works if i have the SSID broadcast enabled, and WEP DISabled... any ideas? i'm reading threads about people saying at least 64bit is working for them, and i REALLY don't want to leave my network wide open01:58
wireLESSalso, when playing a video via gmplayer in xubuntu, i get an error about gnome's ability to find the xscreensaver to stop it from starting up during a movie (i have to manually kill the xscreensaver daemon, which is a pita)... on my gentoo box xfce and gmplayer work great without any dependancy on gnome's screensaver abilities02:00
TheSheepdoop: 2007-137 = 197002:00
TheSheepwireLESS: the latter seems to be a bug, please report it02:01
wireLESSok that's what i was "hoping" for02:01
wireLESSthat it wasn't just me02:01
wireLESSyou ARE talking about the screensaver thing right?02:02
wireLESSi am reinstalling xubuntu as we speak cuz i installed a bunch of base ubuntu crap to test that (which after all the gnome deps installed it DID remove that error) and couldn't completley remove it02:02

Random832the default setup provides no interface to pick a network in roaming mode - i'd like one like with gnome03:06
Random832an applet to show signal quality in the tray would be nice too03:06
vidd_laptopso get the one in gnome03:06
Random832but I don't want gnome03:07
Random832and i don't know what its wireless meter thingy is called anyway03:07
=== vidd_laptop did not say "get gnome".... he said "get the one in gnome"
Random832eh03:07
Random832but won't that depend on all the gnome libs?03:07
vidd_laptopnot all of them03:07
Zagalohi all03:07
Zagaloin app menu, i see random, what is it?03:08
Random832i can deal with not having a thing in the tray or whatever; but having some application - any application really, that'll list available networks and let me pick one03:08
Zagaloin app menu, i see random, what is it?03:09
vidd_laptopZagalo, it would be something you installed.....i dont have it03:11
Random832is there something for xfce like gsynaptics that i can set touchpad options and have it remember for each time i log in? if i use qsynaptics it always forgets03:11
Zagaloi dont install random but03:12

Random832[and it'd be nice if i _didn't_ have to mess with the system settings for something that, as evidenced by gnome, can be done per-user] 03:14
vidd_laptopRandom832, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty/Hardware#Adjust_touchpad_sensitivity03:15
vidd_laptopRandom832, if you dont want to configure items by hand, and want something that is available in gnome...then determine the app in gnome and add it03:17
Random832do gnome control center applets work in xfce?03:19
vidd_laptopyes03:19
Random832ok03:19
Random832how do i find out what the gnome app it03:19
Random832*is03:19
vidd_laptopcheck the process manager in gnome, look the items up in synaptic03:20
Zagaloin app menu, i see random, what is it?03:20
ZagaloUpdate Your Opera03:21
Zagalohttp://hyip-man.blogspot.com/2007/08/opera-javascript-invalid-pointer.html03:21
vidd_laptopwhen you see the item that is described that matches what you want to do, apt-get install it (or use synaptic) in xfce03:21
Random832i don't _have_ gnome - i got rid of it03:21
vidd_laptopRandom832, then use the search option in synaptic03:21
Random832it's not going to tell me "the network status/wireless signal/wireless network picker applet that lives in the tray"03:22
Random832[and YES i'm sure it was the tray not the panel] 03:22
vidd_laptopthe tray IS the panel03:23
Random832yeah03:23
Random832but it was in the tray area, not as a panel applet03:23
Random832i'm not an idiot03:23
vidd_laptopit is still a panel app\03:23
Random832...03:23
Random832ok, fine, the "tray" i'm referring to is called the "notification area"03:24
Random832meaning the program in question was using the freedesktop.org protocol rather than some gnome-specific stuff to appear in the panel03:24
vidd_laptopwhen i get done when my update...ill do the legwork for you03:24
Random832a tray icon is NOT the same thing as a panel applet - tray icons don't even have to be from a gtk app at all03:24
Random832http://polishlinux.org/stuff/screenshots/ubuntu/ubuntu_dapper_desktop_nautilus_libervisco.png - the gaim icon is a tray icon. the volume control is a panel applet - the difference is that all the tray icons will move as a group if you move the tray (which the grip thing to the left of it is also part of)03:26
vidd_laptop!gnome-netstatus-applet | Random83203:27
Random832ok03:28
vidd_laptopRandom832, im not an idiot either...you should do your own searches in synaptic...took 3 seconds to find it03:28
Random832i installed that before and it did not appear to install a program03:28
vidd_laptopyou need to add it to you panel for it to work03:28
Random832I can run /usr/lib/gnome-netstatus/gnome-netstatus-applet and it doesn't put an icon anywhere03:29
Random832It also did not add anything to the list of things i can add to the panel03:29
Random832so i uninstalled it and asked in here03:29
Random832nevermind that the icon i am _looking_ for lives in the notification area / system tray, not directly on the panel03:29
vidd_laptopthen try gnome-nettool03:29
Random832so it shouldn't _be_ something i can move independently of e.g. the gaim icon03:29
Random832http://kirsten.urbanzone.com/blog/uploads/misc/ubuntu_network_manager.png - it's the thing in this screenshot - do you happen to _know_ what program this is rather than simply guessing?03:30

wireLESSwhere would i file a bug about mplayer complaining about gnome's screensaver service?03:40
Aaron_becuase XDM loads in one res that I don't want to use, then XFCE starts and uses a different one, that I previously selected in the XFCE resolution changer.03:40
vidd_laptopRandom833, did you get the info i posted?03:40
riciAaron_: so you actually want to know how xdm picks a resolution?03:41
Aaron_I really just want XDM and XFCE to stay in sync so I can use x11vnc.03:42

wireLESSeven though my xorg.conf file is set to only have a 800x600 mode03:42
Aaron_that's wacky.03:43

KlrSpzpaste the line here05:13
KlrSpzmikubuntu: what do you mean tomboy failed05:13
mikubuntuKlrSpz: here rheres one called 'text editor' would i do sudo text editor /etc/ ....'?05:13
mikubuntudon't know, it said failed somehow, and so i closed it05:14
mikubuntumaybe i have to add mousepad to my toolkit here for simplicity?05:14
KlrSpzmikubuntu: just use nano05:15

mikubuntuoh, ya, i like speedyshare05:23
KlrSpzwell you still have it set to 24 bit, but it looks like it's at 1024x76805:24
mikubuntuKlrSpz: i thought you wanted to check it before i changed to 16?05:25
mikubuntuKlrSpz: so i should just change it, save it, and reboot?05:25
KlrSpzoh np05:26
KlrSpzi haven't ever seen a computer in the past 10 years not support 24 bit though05:26
mikubuntuKlrSpz: so is there something else we should look at?  i know we looked at some /var/log today, but i don't remember if it was the same issue :(05:27
mikubuntuKlrSpz: that's what happens when your brain shrinks05:28
mikubuntuKlrSpz: well, guess i could just go change it, and if that don't solve it, change it back, huh?05:29
KlrSpzso keep it at 24, save the file, and do the 3 finger salute (CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE) to restart X, then use speedyshare to upload your /var/log/Xorg.0.log05:30
mikubuntuyou mean i have to save it and restart because i already opened it with nano?05:31

mikubuntuJester45: KlrSpz said to do ctrl plus x, then y, then enter in nano editing xorg.conf to save, i don't know if it did it or if i fried it....05:55
Jester45after nano is open and you edit it press ctrl x05:57
Jester45it will ask to say05:57
Jester45save*05:57
Jester45thats when you press y05:57
mikubuntuJester45: should i sudo nano xorg again?05:57
Jester45yea05:57
mikubuntuJester45: is it *too late*?05:57
Jester45it looks like you allready exited nano05:58
mikubuntuJester45: arrrrggghhh, so now what do i do? i screwed?05:58
Jester45o and i dont know if you where the person but someone rebooted to let the settings get changed05:58
mikubuntuJester45: no i haven't rebooted05:59
Jester45but you can change them with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart05:59
mikubuntuJester45: do that now?05:59
Jester45**it will close all windows giving no time to save06:00
Jester45if you have changed your settings06:00
mikubuntuJester45: no, i hadn't made any changes06:00
Jester45are you stuck in text only? or do you have a gui06:01
mikubuntuJester45: i uploaded the xorg.conf file to speedyshare, can i, or do i need to retrieve it?  i wish i would have just left well enough alone ...06:02

Jester45ok so now you can edit the file from in nano06:07
xjkxI changed my mouse cursor to a red one, it appears just sometimes, there are times i have this white one, whats wrong?06:07
Jester45just use it like a text editor06:08
xjkxIf i put the cursor on gaim, its red, if i put the cursor on thunar its white ;o06:08
mikubuntuJester45: thats when KlrSpz said to do the control x, then y, then enter, and i newbie, all the output disappeared, i don't know if it saved or not or if i fried it06:09
mikubuntusee?06:09
Jester45well... you can allways open it again and see if the changes are there06:09
mikubuntuJester45:  i think nano closed.  that's what i din't know, if i can open it again? sokay to redo sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf?06:10
Jester45yes06:11
Jester45if the changes are there then you saved it06:11
mikubuntuJester45: ok, i check06:11
mikubuntuJester45:  seems to be as i left it.  so will changing the default depth from 24 to 16 get my screenres to 1024?06:13
Jester45no.. depth is how many colors06:14
Jester45resolution is the resolution06:14
mikubuntuJester45: just changing that today on an older than this one dell cpi lat d300xt was enough to fix screenres ... thingy walked me through it; he said the vid card in that one wouldn't support 2406:15
mikubuntuJester45: that's why i'm messing with this one, because when i saw how crisp that screen got, i realized i must not be getting optimum res on this lat d600 here06:16
Jester45what is the res06:16
mikubunturesolution06:17
Jester45lower the bit then, i run mine at 16 to save memory06:17
Jester45i know what i was asking what is it running at06:17
mikubuntuok, then to save? tell me again plz how?06:17
mikubuntuoh, i guess at 80006:18
Jester45ctrl + x06:18
Jester45then y06:18
mikubuntuletters a little fuzzy, not too tight06:18
mikubuntuok, then after save, reboot?06:19
Jester45and... resolution is 2 numbers 800x600 is normal when the first is 80006:19
Jester45no06:19
Jester45sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart06:19
Jester45much faster than reboot06:19
Jester45mikubuntu, remebmer only windows has to reboot to change a setting06:20
mikubuntushould i go make the change, save, and come back here?06:20
Jester45if you want06:20
mikubuntuok, i try06:20
mikubuntuafter i did 'y' and enter, then nano says: file name to write: etc/x11/xorg.conf  do i need to enter something else06:23
Jester45no06:23
xjkxcould anyone try changing the mose cursor ? i chose the red one but it works only to some window (such as gaim) on some others its still white, i wanna know if its just here06:23
mikubuntuJester45: so i just x out and go to terminal again for restart?06:24
Jester45arrg06:24
Jester45dont restart06:24
Jester45it takes forever and isnt to nice on your harddrive06:24
Jester45use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart06:25
mikubuntui din't mean restart, i mean the command you gave me there06:25
mikubuntui don't need to send it 'to files' or anything?  bunch of options show at the bottom of nano06:26
Jester45no06:27
Jester45ctrl x exits06:27
Jester45but if you made changes it askes if you want to save06:27
mikubuntuok, i go try, but no, control x din't seem to exit a minute ago ... ?06:27
mikubuntuyes, thats what it did06:28
mikubuntubut the whole file still sitting there, i'm just wanting to be clear if all i have to do is close the window and then go to terminal for sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart06:29
Jester45yes06:29

=== xork nods
xorkit's just the least bloated, yet still complete DE06:42

Jester45i just like it06:42

xorkKDE just felt like a slow moving thing06:43
xorkeven on a blazing computer06:43
xjkxI'd use it even if it was heavier06:43
xorki like it has it's own stripped down compositor06:43
Jester45i think its the idea that it has gui tools but yet lets you configure things06:43
xorkyeah.. that's a blessing06:43
Jester45that keeps me using it06:43
Jester45kde is like well.. there are defualts but to get it working how you like you need to spend 10 days configing each app06:44
Jester45and gnome says well we have option 1 and 2... what? you want a 3rd thats to much06:44
Jester45o and by the way both options are slow06:45
xorksounds like my experiences too ;)06:45
xorkthese things should be on the site!06:45
xorkso people don't think it's.. just ubuntu for slow comps06:45
Jester45they should reword to06:45
xorki kind of wish ubuntu would pick xfce as it's flagship06:46
Jester45i dont06:46
Jester45then it would make a mess of it06:46
Jester45lets add this and this06:46

xorkwell, improvement's good..06:47
xorkthe menu editor06:47
xorkseems to be something a lot of people have trouble with06:47

mikubuntuhas anyone listening used xubuntu while navigating aol's 'new' mail site, and do you know of any issues associated.   i put ubuntu on my friends laptop, and she went straight to aol, who i like about as much as i like bill gates, and had all kinds of problems with her mail.  she'd selectr mail to delete, and it keeps showing back up, like bad beer, or seafood (and some poultry products). ...11:58

mikubuntusomeone said earlier that it might be a browser specific problem with firefox, but got the same result with opera.  didn't have any of the same problems using yahoo or gmail, so it's an aol incompatibility with SOMETHING.12:08

TheSheepcheeseboy: yeah, should work12:09
TheSheepcheeseboy: btw, that code is UGLY12:09
