I'm trying hard to kill X by Ctrl+Alt+Bksp but the combo won't work. Any ideas how to make it work ? === ianinhoose [n=ianinhoo@host81-158-165-18.range81-158.btcentralplus.com] has joined #xubuntu === ianinhoose [n=ianinhoo@host81-158-165-18.range81-158.btcentralplus.com] has joined #xubuntu [08:47] Miteto: open a terminal and enter: xkill === Evergete [n=Evergete@host175-24-dynamic.50-82-r.retail.telecomitalia.it] has left #xubuntu ["Ex-Chat"] [09:00] That's Ok but I need the combo to work because Xserver has something against Alsa - when a sound is played (mp3, cda, wav etc.) the system freezes and I want to know if Xserver has crashed or the entire system. === hyper_ch [n=hyper@115.240.203.62.cust.bluewin.ch] has joined #xubuntu === neozen [n=neozen@65.91.254.98] has joined #xubuntu [09:14] is there an event fired somewhere when connection to a network is established that I can respond to with a script?

Currently got Ubuntu and wanted to see what XFCE was like. Newbie in case you hadn't guessed! [09:39] ... currently running Gnome is what i meant to say === LiquidValium-a [n=lv@12-207-51-104.client.mchsi.com] has joined #xubuntu [09:51] jessejazza, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop should do it [09:52] if you want a gui solution you'll have to keep waiting ;) [10:05] Thanks - but i installed Ubuntu 6.10. [10:05] I assume it wasn't xubuntu wasn't installed onto HDD. So i need to download it from XFCE ? [10:07] !info xubuntu-desktop edgy [10:07] xubuntu-desktop: Xubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 2.23 (edgy), package size 10 kB, installed size 36 kB === Balaams_Miracle [n=balaam@g175073.upc-g.chello.nl] has joined #xubuntu [10:09] so can i put the CD in again and get it from there? [10:09] If you have the Xubuntu install cd, sure. [10:10] No i have the Ubuntu - i thought XFCE was on there somewhere [10:10] Nope. [10:13] ok at present i'm using windoze to chat [loaded Ubu on a spare PC so i could learn about it before changing over completely] . So i need to download XFCE from www.xfce.org or can i use the synaptic? [10:15] You should use Synaptic. That's what it's there for. === LiquidValium-a [n=lv@12-207-51-104.client.mchsi.com] has joined #xubuntu [10:20] So if i download XFCE where do i place it so that synaptic finds it [10:22] Synaptic downloads it for you, when you use it to install it. [10:22] Ubuntu uses a completely different system for installing/managing/uninstalling applications and packages, compared to what you're used to on Windows. [10:23] You should probably research it a bit, just so you understand what you're dealing with. === LiquidValium-a [n=lv@12-207-51-104.client.mchsi.com] has joined #xubuntu [10:27] hi what is the command to reconfigure my x settings (namely resolution)? [10:27] But what i can't see from reading the intro and Ubuntu Hacks is how you point the synaptic manager to whatever you want to download. I thought synaptic was a list of all packages and one clicks or whatever on a package and it finds it or downloads it. [10:28] nonlocal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [10:30] Miteto: thanks. [10:30] Miteto: Is this going to blow away any changes I have made to xorg.conf? [10:31] !automatix [10:31] Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software. When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it. A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme) [10:31] ...made so far. However It will backup your current xorg,conf === LiquidValium-a [n=lv@12-207-51-104.client.mchsi.com] has joined #xubuntu [10:33] jessejazza: The Ubuntu devs maintain a repository of packages, which are specified in /etc/apt/sources.list. It fetches packages from those repositories. [10:36] what file should i backup to keep all my xfce settings? === LiquidValium-a [n=lv@12-207-51-104.client.mchsi.com] has joined #xubuntu [10:37] mindframe: the .config directory in ~/ [10:37] ~/.config/, although most applications maintain their own config files and directories. [10:38] im just curious about xfce and plugin settings [10:38] thanks [10:38] backing up everything in ~/ would let you be certain you have everything [10:38] this is true [10:39] automatix has brought hell to my system [10:39] gonna wipe and reinstall [10:39] also gonna do full disk encryption this time (laptop) === Miteto [n=Miteto@83.222.165.101] has left #xubuntu [] === Miteto [n=Miteto@83.222.165.101] has joined #xubuntu === Miteto [n=Miteto@83.222.165.101] has left #xubuntu [] === sc0tt_ [n=sc0tt@cpc1-stok5-0-0-cust150.bagu.cable.ntl.com] has joined #xubuntu === zenrox [n=zenrox@pool-71-115-208-222.spknwa.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #xubuntu [10:47] oh funny, automatix was just discussed in here === kikr [n=ant@ool-435495ff.dyn.optonline.net] has joined #xubuntu === snook3r [n=snook3r@bzq-219-46-202.isdn.bezeqint.net] has joined #xubuntu === zenrox [i=zenrox@pool-71-115-208-222.spknwa.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #xubuntu === Kr4t05|Lap [n=andrew@dsl-206-251-14-4.dsl0.crls.pa.net] has joined #xubuntu === LiquidValium-a [n=lv@12-207-51-104.client.mchsi.com] has joined #xubuntu === zenrox [i=zenrox@pool-71-115-208-222.spknwa.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #xubuntu === PriceChild [n=pricechi@ubuntu/member/pdpc.supporter.student.PriceChild] has joined #xubuntu === LiquidValium-a [n=lv@12-207-51-104.client.mchsi.com] has joined #xubuntu === mindframe [n=mindfram@69.2.35.56] has joined #xubuntu === nikolam [n=nikola@adsl-211-220.eunet.yu] has joined #xubuntu === ianinhoose [n=ianinhoo@host81-158-165-18.range81-158.btcentralplus.com] has joined #xubuntu === LiquidValium-a [n=lv@12-207-51-104.client.mchsi.com] has joined #xubuntu === LiquidValium-a [n=lv@12-207-51-104.client.mchsi.com] has joined #xubuntu === cellofellow [n=josh@69-71-167-63.mammothnetworks.com] has joined #xubuntu === SuprUsr [n=andrew@dsl-206-251-14-4.dsl0.crls.pa.net] has joined #xubuntu === LiquidValium-a [n=lv@12-207-51-104.client.mchsi.com] has joined #xubuntu === WildMudkip [n=andrew@dsl-206-251-14-4.dsl0.crls.pa.net] has joined #xubuntu === WildMudkip is now known as SuprUsr === LiquidValium-a [n=lv@12-207-51-104.client.mchsi.com] has joined #xubuntu === LiquidValium-a [n=lv@12-207-51-104.client.mchsi.com] has joined #xubuntu === zenrox [n=zenrox@pool-71-115-208-222.spknwa.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #xubuntu === soberon [n=soberon@201.141.184.46] has joined #xubuntu [12:21] Hi...

[12:55] ups didnt saw hin leaving === aterra [n=aterra@72.158.38.13] has joined #xubuntu [12:56] Funny how people think that it's Version 6.1 or 7.04, and they don't realize it just means Released 2006 10 or 2007 4. === aterra [n=aterra@72.158.38.13] has left #xubuntu [] [12:59] Hm, sure but I wouldnt consider Gutsy for instance for anything important. Tried it and reinstalled 7.04. I prefer Talking in versions then in Release name, dough [12:59] I say either use LTS or Latest, which rules out Edgy. [01:00] That is definitely safest bet. But too drastic for me :) I like stable new releases, like 7.04 [01:02] Gutsy isn't "Latest", it's Development. [01:02] Feisty is still Latest. [01:02] Did you tried compiz&things? I Installed and my picture becomes blurry. And what is true use of Woobly windows, anyway? :) [01:02] Yeah, i know. 7.04 is laest :)) [01:03] I haven't tried Compiz. My computer is old but I'm getting a new one. ;) [01:06] Me to. I was using P3-733/384MB Ram with Xubuntu. I upgraded to Amd X2 3600+@2.5ghz, 2Gig ram (beacouse of Vt instructions) [01:07] But Intel 2160/2180 dc is definetly better for overclock on budget === LiquidValium-a [n=lv@12-207-51-104.client.mchsi.com] has joined #xubuntu [01:08] I practically got MoBo with integrated GPU (690g) and dc cpu from Amd for the same price of i4300 === Balaams_Miracle [n=balaam@g175073.upc-g.chello.nl] has joined #xubuntu === tripte1 [n=triptec@85.8.5.107.static.se.wasadata.net] has joined #xubuntu
