| herd | I don't even have a .gtkrc of my own, I trust on XFCE on that matter so maybe the question is where does this come from? | 01:16 |
|---|---|---|
| herd | I used to hover above, e.g. the wavelan plugin and see the signal strength in the tooltip, this tooltip would update every 500 ms. Now I only get one tooltip after 3 seconds. Since the sources of these plugins did not change at all, I suspect GTK+ updates... | 01:18 |

| TheSheep | herd: probably the default values changed, you can still change them back to something that suits you better in *your* settings locally | 01:19 |
| herd | So I would have to edit my .gtkrc? And tell the users of my plugin to do the same? | 01:20 |

| jarnos | Pirate_Hunter, there you have oprtion to check updates automatically. You should be notified of new updates. You also have an option to "Install security updates without confirmation." Please check the dialog window. | 02:43 |
| Pirate_Hunter | now lets talk about themes - i tried to get themes for xfce but i didnt know how to install them cause all i got was a folder with lots of icons etc & jarnos will do that in synaptic now | 02:44 |
| Pirate_Hunter | after updates are done do i ahve to restart my comp? | 02:44 |
| jarnos | Pirate_Hunter, not usually; only if you have updated kernel. | 02:45 |
| Pirate_Hunter | jarnos: ok than im trying to find the setting in synaptic for auto-update | 02:46 |

| nikolam | It is true that if you are tight on resources, should avoid sm/tb and use something lightweight, like pan or so. | 10:34 |
| atarinox | ok, thanks | 10:35 |
| Artimus | Pan is also much more efficient with binary decoding, if you're into that sort of thing | 10:35 |

| thinkmassive | how can I stop xfce/xwindows without shutting down my system? | 10:57 |
| Jester45 | sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 11:02 |
| Jester45 | it will close everything instantly | 11:02 |
| Jester45 | or replace restart with stop to keep it off | 11:02 |

| thinkmassive | I'm trying to load a remote x session... it's not possible to have that open at the same time as a local one, is it? | 11:02 |
| nikolam | thinkmassive or just hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace :) to restart X | 11:03 |
| thinkmassive | like say: console 7 is local, console 8 (F8) is remote? | 11:03 |
| Jester45 | you can have as many x sessions open as you want | 11:05 |
| thinkmassive | do you know of a good tutorial? | 11:07 |
| thinkmassive | I didn't realize it was that easy | 11:07 |
| thinkmassive | oops, I'm just lazy, found it :) | 11:09 |
| thinkmassive | thanks for the tip | 11:09 |

| dslzen | Greetings! I'm a total nubie and can't figure out how to install the alternate xubuntu onto my old laptop. It is running windows XP. I've searched everywhere but can't find what I need. I burned the disk ISO...any quick help or links out there? | 11:30 |
| nikolam | What do you wan to do? to wipe xp and put xubuntu instead or xubuntu beside xp? how big is your hdd, is ti partitioned and how much free space do you have on it? | 11:32 |
| dslzen | 8 gb hd. I want to wipe and do a clean install. | 11:33 |
| nikolam | can you boot from cd? go to bios and set it to boot from cd as first device | 11:34 |
| nikolam | Than you can use option on cd for automatic partitioning during install | 11:35 |
| dslzen | OK, let me change that right now. It'll take a second. | 11:35 |

| jalalabad | hey guys, 2 questions | 11:36 |
| kiosk | hello xubuntu'ers | 11:36 |
| jalalabad | 1) why does xubuntu try to dhcp as ipv6 and not ipv4? | 11:36 |
| jalalabad | 2) why does the installer keep automounting the damn ntfs partition my windows is on (it trashes my install, thus causing the installer to write over the original ntfs partition that windows was on instead of merely resizing) | 11:37 |
| jalalabad | kiosk: 'ello | 11:37 |
| kiosk | hi | 11:37 |
| jalalabad | what's goin on | 11:37 |
| kiosk | I know kinda what your saying but don't know the answer | 11:38 |
| kiosk | i can't get apt-get to install things | 11:38 |
| jalalabad | it keeps crapping out and thus losing my windows install... luckily i just reinstalled iwndows so there's no harm done this time, but the first time i really pissed my IT admin off | 11:38 |
| jalalabad | what do you mean? like it won't connect? | 11:38 |
| kiosk | says it cant connect | 11:38 |
| jalalabad | or do you get md5 sum errors? | 11:38 |
| kiosk | yeah | 11:38 |
| jalalabad | hmm, have you tried apt-get update to make sure your sources are right? | 11:39 |
| kiosk | not Md5 don't think | 11:39 |
| kiosk | yes | 11:39 |
| jalalabad | shoot, repeat the last line, cleared the screen (before the yes) | 11:39 |
| jalalabad | if you said anything that is | 11:39 |
| kiosk | that fails too | 11:39 |
| kiosk | (update) | 11:39 |
| jalalabad | are you chatting on your live cd? | 11:39 |
| jalalabad | err, install? | 11:39 |
| kiosk | install | 11:39 |
| jalalabad | in the network config, make sure you have a dns | 11:40 |
| kiosk | how do I get to network config via gui or command? | 11:40 |
| nikolam | jalalabad: I think you need to downsize your ntfs before installing linux on new partition beside old | 11:40 |
| dslzen | OK, changed BIOS and rebooting | 11:40 |
| jalalabad | nikolam: i am, that's when it mounts and craps out | 11:40 |
| kiosk | br | 11:41 |
| kiosk | brb | 11:41 |
| dslzen | Not to sound like a defeatest but this may be to much for me. I'm not sure I even burned the damn ISO correctly. | 11:42 |
| jalalabad | ??? | 11:42 |
| jalalabad | how did you burn it | 11:42 |
| dslzen | Nero | 11:42 |
| nikolam | dslzen: good luck. Everything is easy. Fex easy questions (or maybe a little X setup questions at end) but quite easy. | 11:42 |
| jalalabad | burn iso to disk, or did you just copy the iso to the datacd and burn | 11:42 |
| dslzen | Not sure what you all mean. Did it as an ISO file. | 11:43 |
| jalalabad | i mean, did you choose the option to burn an iso to disk, or did you merely say "Create Data CD" and copy the iso to it? | 11:43 |
| nikolam | jalalabad Don`t just foly iso file to data cd! Burn it with option "burn iso image" | 11:43 |
| dslzen | Option to burn and ISO | 11:43 |
| jalalabad | nikolam: i know, i'm trying to find out what he did | 11:43 |
| jalalabad | so you clicked like Recorder > Burn Image or something along that order? | 11:44 |
| jalalabad | if so, that should be fine | 11:44 |
| jalalabad | your media might be cheap however, and may not boot the first time... i had that problem, took me a few boots, adn then finally after my 3rd install i opted to just re-burn the iso at a slower speed | 11:44 |
| dslzen | Now, I can access the data on the disk, but can't figure out how to install. I'm a hard core XP user and so badly want an "install" button! | 11:44 |
| jalalabad | there *is* an install button | 11:45 |
| dslzen | Really? In the install folder? I can't find it! | 11:45 |
| jalalabad | erm are you using a live cd or a minimal cd? | 11:45 |
| nikolam | dslzen did you boot cd? | 11:45 |
| dslzen | Minimal. I don't have enough ram for the live. | 11:46 |
| jalalabad | if you don't have enough ram for live, you're not going to get the install to work either man, i mean it's pretty minimal | 11:46 |
| dslzen | I just tried to boot, went right to XP | 11:46 |
| nikolam | dslzen how much ram do you have? you can use alternate CD , if you have 128 | 11:46 |
| dslzen | 128 and I have the alternate. That is what I burned. | 11:46 |
| jalalabad | i'm using 201 mb of ram on the install cd now, i'm installing on this box i'm talking to you on | 11:46 |
| jalalabad | you could always make a swap file on the disk as a file, mount that as swap and go from there | 11:47 |
| nikolam | dslzen: Shut it down and try to catch moment when motherboard ask you to hit enter or so to boot from cd. (same thing as installing xp) | 11:47 |
| dslzen | Ah yes. That made sense! :-) | 11:47 |
| nikolam | dslzen: nice. I also use alternate | 11:47 |
| === kiosk [n=kiosk@ip72-192-216-48.dc.dc.cox.net] has left #xubuntu ["Konversation] | ||
| jalalabad | how do you install on the alternate? just apt-get install xubuntu-desktop? | 11:48 |
| nikolam | dslzen Just see if you make it in bios to boot from cd. | 11:48 |
| dslzen | I did just adjust BIOS to boot from CD. Went into XP anyway. I'll try again. | 11:48 |
| jalalabad | make sure it's set up to boot to cd FIRST | 11:48 |
| nikolam | jalalabad alternate install is just that : full install with all goodies of xfce | 11:49 |
| === MatBoy [n=matthijs@wiljewelwetenhe.xs4all.nl] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| jalalabad | also, sometimes motherboards have the option to hit a key to enter a boot menu | 11:49 |
| jalalabad | nikolam: right, but what commands do you use? | 11:49 |
| nikolam | no comand, it is automatic install. In textual mode. Next next finish :) | 11:50 |
| jalalabad | oh, lame | 11:50 |
| dslzen | f10 on my system. Kids want to eat, so I've gotta go. I need to read more about this because I don't even understand most of what you all are saying. Like I said, I've never used anything other than Windows and this is like French. | 11:50 |
| nikolam | dslzen: It is same thing like installing windows. The same thing. You boot from Cd and install. Simple. | 11:51 |
| dslzen | OK, then I burned the disk wrong because it is not working correct. | 11:52 |
| dslzen | Or, at least as discribed above. | 11:52 |
| dslzen | Eggs and toast for dinner, anyone? | 11:53 |
| jalalabad | lovely | 11:56 |
| nikolam | niice, when you say, i an hubgy a bit too. :) | 11:56 |
| jalalabad | coming from gentoo for the last 7 years, ubuntu is a no brainer | 11:56 |
| thrashy | I'm trying to install vnc server (specifically x11vnc) I download the package but when I go to set the password using "vncpasswd~/.vnc/passwd" it says no such file or dir. How can I find out where it downloaded to? | 11:56 |
| jalalabad | create the folder | 11:57 |
| jalalabad | mkdir ~/.vnc | 11:57 |
| nikolam | You can check .iso file with md5 and if it is wrongly saved, you can repair it with torrent , no need to download again | 11:57 |
| nikolam | jalabad: gentoo user, wow, you should be a wizard for average ubuntuer haha | 11:58 |
| jalalabad | heh, yeah | 11:58 |
| jalalabad | ubuntu is cake; just a few nuances that are slightly irritating | 11:58 |
| nikolam | cream, sugar, or chocolate? xfce ,gnome or kde? | 11:59 |
| jalalabad | particularly the livecd installer has problems (although i'm starting to think it's xfce) and mplayer is compiled with gnome dependancies for the screensaver stuff | 11:59 |
| jalalabad | chocolate, xfce | 11:59 |
| nikolam | I always use alternate cd to install. | 11:59 |
| jalalabad | i might on my next install, but i'd probably choose xfce itself and let it auto test for dependancies, but not get all the goodies/etc | 12:00 |
| jalalabad | i don't need the whole thing, just certain parts | 12:00 |

| jalalabad | which is why i love gentoo | 12:00 |
| Pirate_Hunter | on amsn cnat u send away messages? | 12:00 |
| jalalabad | use gaim | 12:01 |
| jalalabad | my ubuntu and gentoo isntalls are used identically, but my gentoo install is 1.6gig where my ubuntu install is 5 gig... like woah | 12:01 |
| nikolam | I might choose gentoo if i had time to compile everything, which i dont.. | 12:01 |
| jalalabad | yeah that can be the downside, but you have so much power over what you install and what you include | 12:01 |
| jalalabad | saves a lot of space and at times, headaches | 12:01 |
| jalalabad | on the other hand, it can create headaches | 12:01 |
| Pirate_Hunter | on amsn how do i send away messages? | 12:02 |

| kiosk | nikolam: What server should be there | 12:12 |

| kiosk | yes | 12:22 |
| kiosk | :) | 12:22 |
| kiosk | what does it mean when software can't authenticate? | 12:23 |
| nikolam | it means that for the repository you added, you did`t add to your system`s public key trust | 12:30 |
| nikolam | keys are used to ensure that all packages are sined and can be euthenticated | 12:31 |
| nikolam | You have Authentication tab on Software sources | 12:31 |
| nikolam | Where you can add key file for repository you add. | 12:31 |
| nikolam | You choose to what repository you trust and what key you add | 12:32 |
| nikolam | Many binary repositories and wild ones dont have/dont use authentication line ubuntu main repository, therefore, you can trust them less | 12:33 |
