[07:11] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:14] <Punk_Boi_8> How do I put a source code together
[07:36] <Catoptromancy> Punk_Boi_8 : there should be an INSTALL file with source code
[07:36] <Catoptromancy> Itll probably says to "./configure" then "make" then "make install"
[07:37] <Catoptromancy> INSTALL file also should list dependencies you need to compile without errors
[07:37] <Catoptromancy> Punk_Boi_8 : What are you compiling?
[07:38] <dino__> How can I install ati drivers on my xubuntu so I can run Compiz/Beryl?
[08:18] <keoni> hello, im new to using linux, where are the kernel conf files stored?
[09:54] <Punk_Boi_8> Why is a CLI loading instead of Xfce?
[10:02] <Punk_Boi_8> Can I please have some help?
[10:14] <TheSheep> Punk_Boi_8: can you tell us some more details?
[10:22] <Catoptromancy> I wonder if Punk_Boi_8 timed out before he saw what I posted.
[10:24] <TheSheep> we can't force-help :)

[01:35] <dino_> im actually trying to get compiz to work.... i think
[01:38] <dino_> think about it.. brb
[01:39] <TheSheep> dino_: hmm... tried to ask on #ubuntu-effects?
[01:40] <Rasi> im having trouble with a freshly installed xubuntu 7.04, system boots up, after i put in user name and pass all i get is the desktop background
[01:46] <dino_> what did you say?
[01:46] <Rasi> he asked if you tried to ask in #ubuntu-effects
[01:47] <TheSheep> Rasi: do you get a window when you press alt+f2 ?
[01:47] <Rasi> yes, i do
[01:47] <Rasi> im accessing the box through ssh at the moment
[01:47] <TheSheep> Rasi: type 'xfce4-panel' in there
[01:47] <dino_> ok, i will try
[01:47] <dino_> gotta say i love xubuntu, compared to ubuntu
[01:47] <Rasi> GTK warning, cannot open display
[01:47] <TheSheep> Rasi: where do you get that?
[01:48] <dino_> everything works so nice here... both my mouse and keyboard at the same time... had serious issues with that in ubuntu
[01:48] <Rasi> what do you mean?
[01:48] <TheSheep> Rasi: that "GTK warning, cannot open display"
[01:48] <TheSheep> Rasi: where is it displayed?
[01:49] <Rasi> in the SSH window
[01:49] <TheSheep> Rasi: you ssh from a linux box or a windows box?
[01:49] <Rasi> windows
[01:50] <Rasi> i only have one monitor, so i have to disconnect it to switch back and forth
[01:51] <TheSheep> Rasi: you can run gui applications through ssh from windows
[01:51] <TheSheep> can't
[01:51] <TheSheep> *
[01:51] <Rasi> ah, the command opens a GUI...
[01:52] <Rasi> my problem is with the desktop not through teh SSH, though
[01:52] <Rasi> so il try the xfce4-panel command directly?
[01:52] <TheSheep> Rasi: yes
[01:52] <Rasi> one sec
[01:53] <Rasi> i get the same cannot open display error
[01:55] <TheSheep> Rasi: you are typing it in that window that appears when you press alt+f2?
[01:56] <Rasi> yes, after i put in my user name and pass
[01:58] <Rasi> alt f7 brings me back to the desktop wallpaper with nothing in it
[01:58] <TheSheep> Rasi: not alt+ctrl+f2, but alt+f2
[01:59] <Rasi> one sec
[02:00] <Rasi> alt f2 from the desktop has no effect
[02:00] <Rasi> neither does 1,3 or 4
[02:00] <TheSheep> ok
[02:00] <TheSheep> switch to text console
[02:01] <TheSheep> type 'export DISPLAY=0:0'
[02:01] <TheSheep> then 'xfwm4'
[02:03] <Rasi> after the export command nothing happened, and after the xfwm4 command i got the same cannot open display error
[02:04] <Rasi> it did think for a second or two before it displayed it
[02:05] <TheSheep> Rasi: hmm.. are you sure the installation finished correctly?
[02:06] <TheSheep> Rasi: try running 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop', that should finish it
[02:06] <Rasi> at first it had trouble with a package, and so i did the apt-get again to complete it, im running it again to see what it says
[02:07] <Rasi> Reading state information... Done
[02:07] <Rasi> xubuntu-desktop is already the newest version.
[02:07] <Rasi> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 30 not upgraded.
[02:07] <TheSheep> hm...
[02:08] <TheSheep> Rasi: ok, try just restarting the x, 'sudo /etc/rc.d/gdm restart'
[02:08] <Rasi> alright
[02:09] <Rasi> dont have rc.d, i have rc0.d through rc6.d
[02:10] <Rasi> oh, and also rcS
[02:10] <TheSheep> '/etc/init.d/gdm restart'?
[02:11] <TheSheep> I'm not on a linux box right now, can't check how ubuntu calls them :/
[02:11] <Rasi> alright, it started and stopped the gnome display manager
[02:11] <Rasi> il hook the mon up and see whats there now, one sec
[02:13] <Rasi> got the login screen, i logged in, il give it a few minutes to load
[02:15] <Rasi> just like last time, i get the loading screen, it gets to nautilus and just stays there
[02:19] <Rasi> TOP shows processor idle
[02:20] <TheSheep> Rasi: nautilus???
[02:21] <Rasi> yeah, when i boot the desktop, theres icons showing up from left to right
[02:21] <Rasi> nautilus is the 2nd icon
[02:21] <TheSheep> Rasi: are you absolutely sure it's xubuntu?
[02:21] <Rasi> im pretty sure. is there a console command i can check with?
[02:22] <TheSheep> Rasi: because xubuntu doesn't have nautilus, it uses thunar instead
[02:22] <Rasi> it said Xubuntu along the top when i installed it from the CD, and i specificaly downloaded xubuntu-desktop
[02:23] <Rasi> the desktop is an orange color, though
[02:25] <Rasi> any reason why it would install Ubuntu instead?
[02:26] <TheSheep> Rasi: when you see the login prompt, there is a button that says 'sessions'
[02:27] <TheSheep> Rasi: what options do you have there?
[02:27] <Rasi> one sec
[02:28] <Rasi> box crashed, il reboot it and check
[02:31] <Rasi> last session
[02:32] <Rasi> xclient script
[02:32] <Rasi> gnome
[02:32] <Rasi> xfce session
[02:32] <Rasi> failsafe gnome
[02:32] <Rasi> failsafe terminal
[02:35] <Rasi> hi badger

[02:37] <TheSheep> Rasi: select 'xfce session'
[02:38] <wbadger> oh
[02:38] <wbadger> ;)
[02:38] <Rasi> alright, one sec
[02:41] <Rasi> alright, now i got to a desktop
[02:41] <Rasi> no shortcuts to any programs, though
[02:41] <Rasi> just the file systems
[02:41] <Rasi> thats normal?
[02:45] <TheSheep> Rasi: yes, the shortcuts are in the menu

[06:53] <snelpojke^^> http://www.fuskbugg.se/pub/misc/Ubuntu.JPG
[06:53] <snelpojke^^> here
[06:54] <hyper__ch> hiho TheSheep
[06:55] <hyper__ch> snelpojke^^: that looks like a serious error
[06:55] <TheSheep> snellpojke: you get that with the livecd or with the installed system?
[06:55] <snellpojke> cd
[06:56] <snellpojke> ot still works on my laptop lol
[06:56] <snellpojke> it*
[06:56] <TheSheep> snellpojke: you have a 64 bit system?
[06:56] <snellpojke> no
[06:56] <snellpojke> why
[06:56] <snellpojke> i dont know
[06:56] <snellpojke> i aint good at computers
[06:56] <TheSheep> snellpojke: the error looks serious enough to guess there is some grave incompatibility of the kernel and your hardware
[06:57] <snellpojke> :
[06:57] <snellpojke> :(
[06:57] <snellpojke> so i can't do anything about it?
[06:58] <snellpojke> i dont think i have a 64 bit system
[07:08] <SatanGol1a> i'm trying to install skype using skypes apt repository but get libasound2 (> 1.0.12) but 1.0.11-7ubuntu3 is to be installed and corresponding for libqt4-core and libqt4-gui, what to do?
[07:14] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: add the medibuntu repos
[07:15] <maxamillion> medibuntu repos?/? ... jeebus, does the *buntu naming convention plague the galaxy?
[07:16] <hyper__ch> maxamillion: you don't know the medibuntu repositories?
[07:16] <maxamillion> hyper__ch: no, i stopped running ubuntu before feisty officially released
[07:17] <TheSheep> snellpojke: I don't have any ideas, you can try and play with kernel options at the boot prompt -- just press 'f1' at the menu and you'll get some hints
[07:17] <maxamillion> hyper__ch: long story ... but it boiled down to stability issues (i actually still run ubuntu on my laptop, but my desktops and production servers are back on debian stable)
[07:17] <hyper__ch> maxamillion: traitor!!!
[07:17] <snellpojke> TheSheep ok
[07:17] <snellpojke> ty anyway
[07:17] <hyper__ch> debian is good for servers
[07:17] <maxamillion> hyper__ch: no ... op ... i believe op is the word you were looking for ;)
[07:17] <hyper__ch> ubuntu is good for desktops
[07:18] <maxamillion> hyper__ch: i completely agree, and i think ubuntu is great for laptops (which is why it is still on my laptop) ... but i don't generally do much media stuff on the computer anyways :/
[07:19] <hyper__ch> maxamillion: what else can you need a computer for than downloading movies/tv shows and watch them? ^^
[07:20] <TheSheep> sigh
[07:20] <hyper__ch> TheSheep: anything wrong?
[07:21] <maxamillion> hyper__ch: coding :)
[07:21] <hyper__ch> TheSheep: who is Dijkstra?
[07:21] <maxamillion> WHAT>@#^
[07:21] <maxamillion> i should kline you for that
[07:21] <maxamillion> >.>
[07:22] <snellpojke> ty for all help
[07:22] <TheSheep> snellpojke: yw, sorry we couldn't give you a good answer
[07:23] <snellpojke> no problem
[07:23] <hyper__ch> snellpojke: you could try another distro instead
[07:23] <hyper__ch> snellpojke: or did you already try 7.10?
[07:23] <snellpojke> beta?
[07:23] <hyper__ch> snellpojke: yes, maybe that works better on your hardware
[07:23] <TheSheep> yes
[07:23] <snellpojke> i downloading it right now but i dont have any cd
[07:23] <snellpojke> haha
[07:23] <TheSheep> !install
[07:23] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[07:24] <hyper__ch> snellpojke: /me recommends you to get some cd-rws ;) lots of distro testing ;)
[07:24] <snellpojke> xD
[07:25] <snellpojke> i buy 10 cds for 1 euro
[07:25] <hyper__ch> snellpojke: why produce waste?  1-2 cd-rws are always good
[07:25] <snellpojke> xD
[07:25] <snellpojke> i buy it tomorrow
[07:25] <hyper__ch> snellpojke: you don't have to...
[07:26] <safet> bitchx sucks whats a better irc client
[07:26] <snellpojke> ??
[07:26] <snellpojke> why
[07:26] <hyper__ch> safet: gtk+ only?
[07:26] <hyper__ch> safet: or also Qt?
[07:26] <TheSheep> safet: irssi
[07:26] <snellpojke> Mirc?
[07:27] <hyper__ch> TheSheep: irssi is still too complicated for my simple mind ;)
[07:27] <safet> thanks i'll check one out
[07:27] <hyper__ch> safet: irssi is command line only
[07:27] <TheSheep> safet: it's a greatly improved bitchx :)
[07:27] <snellpojke> why not Mirc
[07:27] <TheSheep> hyper__ch: it's not commandline, it uses curses
[07:27] <hyper__ch> snellpojke: mirc is windoze
[07:27] <safet> im using command with bitchx now
[07:27] <hyper__ch> TheSheep: what's teh difference?
[07:27] <snellpojke> i forgott
[07:27] <snellpojke> :P
[07:28] <snellpojke> windows sux
[07:28] <TheSheep> hyper__ch: with command line, you type commands and get lines of text right under it, with curses you get text all over your screen :)
[07:28] <safet> im really liking xubuntu although this screen has no backspace function for watever reason
[07:28] <hyper__ch> TheSheep: if I type long enough I'll also have text all over my screen ;)
[07:28] <hyper__ch> safet: you need to change something
[07:28] <TheSheep> hyper__ch: but new only appears at the ned
[07:28] <TheSheep> end
[07:28] <safet> yea i think so also
[07:29] <TheSheep> safet: right click, preferences, advanced, delete key generates
[07:29] <hyper__ch> TheSheep: ;)
[07:29] <safet> i think it might be the terminal im using
[07:29] <hyper__ch> backspace key generates:  control-h
[07:30] <TheSheep> ^H^H^H
[07:30] <safet> both are on autodetect
[07:30] <safet> delete aqnd backspace
[07:30] <safet> and*
[07:30] <hyper__ch> set backspace to control-h
[07:31] <TheSheep> safet: play with them
[07:31] <safet> thanks that worked :)
[07:32] <hyper__ch> safet: I know... I learnt from the best *nods towards TheSheep*
[07:34] <safet> are you guys longtime linux users?
[07:34] <safet> or gals...
[07:34] <hyper__ch> safet: me, nope... had a server now for 3 years but started using it as desktop august 2006
[07:36] <safet> i've been using it on my laptop for about a week now
[07:36] <safet> and the only thing i've been using my win box for is movies
[07:36] <safet> i'm in love
[07:36] <hyper__ch> safet: then you know meanwhile more about computing than about 70% of the computer users ;)
[07:36] <hyper__ch> why using windoze for movies?
[07:37] <safet> that machine has a big screen
[07:37] <hyper__ch> and you couldn't set the resolution right yet in linux?
[07:37] <hyper__ch> or you don't have linux installed on that machine ;)
[07:37] <safet> haven't installed it yet
[07:37] <hyper__ch> ;)
[07:37] <safet> yet being the key word
[07:38] <hyper__ch> or swap the big screen
[07:38] <TheSheep> codecs are sometimes a problem
[07:38] <TheSheep> and DRM will be too
[07:38] <safet> thats another thing i was worried about
[07:39] <hyper__ch> safet: VLC solves almost any problem
[07:39] <safet> i had enough trouble just getting my wireless working ha
[07:39] <safet> yea i use vlc on my win box its really nice
[07:40] <safet> is there any way i can view shared win files thru xubuntu ?
[07:40] <hyper__ch> well, my wifi card works out of the box
[07:40] <hyper__ch> !samba | safet
[07:40] <ubotu> safet: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[07:47] <snellpojke> TheSheep do you recomend a burning program
[07:58] <SatanGol1a> hyper__ch: ok, ive added the medibuntu repos, what do i do next?
[07:58] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: sudo apt-get update && sudo aptitude install skype
[08:02] <SatanGol1a> hyper__ch: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39667/
[08:02] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: gutsy gibbon? Did you remove the skype repo?
[08:02] <SatanGol1a> still unmet dependencies, hmm
[08:03] <SatanGol1a> no?
[08:04] <SatanGol1a> hyper__ch: should i remove any package?
[08:06] <hyper__ch> remove the skype repo from your sources.list
[08:10] <SatanGol1a> hyper__ch: Keep the following packages at their current version:
[08:10] <SatanGol1a> skype [Not Installed] 
[08:10] <SatanGol1a> Y/n?
[08:11] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: can you pastebin it all?
[08:12] <SatanGol1a> hyper__ch: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39671/
[08:13] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a:  do:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[08:16] <SatanGol1a> hyper__ch: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39673/
[08:17] <hyper__ch> I'd first do that kernel upgrade
[08:17] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:18] <SatanGol1a> and this will not kill my current settings and files? :)
[08:18] <hyper__ch> no, just install a new kernel
[08:18] <hyper__ch> the old one will also be kept
[08:18] <hyper__ch> in case there is hardware compatibility issues
[08:19] <SatanGol1a> where do i find the old one, if i want to change back?
[08:19] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: upon boot
[08:20] <SatanGol1a> ahh
[08:20] <hyper__ch> the new one will be set as default
[08:20] <SatanGol1a> ok, but will there be a menu where i can choose?
[08:20] <hyper__ch> yes
[08:21] <SatanGol1a> ok
[08:21] <SatanGol1a> assume its going to take a while... :)
[08:21] <hyper__ch> depending on your inet connection
[08:21] <SatanGol1a> but then i'll try with the same approach as above?
[08:21] <hyper__ch> not yet ;)
[08:21] <hyper__ch> after that you first ahve to reboot
[08:22] <SatanGol1a> ah, yes, but then? :)
[08:22] <hyper__ch> then post your sources.list ;)
[08:22] <hyper__ch> then we'll try again
[08:22] <SatanGol1a> alright, thanks alot
[08:34] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: new kernel works?
[08:36] <SatanGol1a> hyper__ch: dont know: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39677/
[08:36] <SatanGol1a> did it upgrade?
[08:37] <SatanGol1a> there was no menu upon boot anyways
[08:38] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: pastebin:   cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:38] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: also pastebin:  cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:41] <SatanGol1a> hyper__ch: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39678/
[08:42] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: you did see the menu upon boot:  timeout         3
[08:42] <hyper__ch> for three seconds
[08:43] <SatanGol1a> well, some countdown
[08:43] <SatanGol1a> hyper__ch: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39680/   sources.list
[08:43] <hyper__ch> see, there you had your menu to choose what system to boot
[08:43] <SatanGol1a> ahh, but didnt it choose the new one?
[08:43] <SatanGol1a> or didnt it upgrade?
[08:43] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: it did upgrade
[08:44] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: and you saw the menu upon boot
[08:44] <SatanGol1a> ok, yes
[08:44] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: and you did not add the medibuntu repositories
[08:44] <hex1a4> any one know where I can get info on setting up a xubuntu mirror?
[08:44] <SatanGol1a> hmm, no? i thought i did
[08:44] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: do you see it in your sources list?
[08:45] <hyper__ch> hex1a4: did you have a look at the xubuntu homepage?
[08:45] <hex1a4> yes I did
[08:45] <hex1a4> nothing about being a mirror
[08:45] <hyper__ch> I'm pretty sure there is
[08:46] <hex1a4> ubuntu.com has mirrot info ...
[08:46] <hex1a4> but I only want to mirror Xubuntu ...
[08:46] <hex1a4> and nothing else
[08:47] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/
[08:49] <SatanGol1a> hyper__ch: oh, ok: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39682/
[08:51] <hyper__ch> hex1a4: hmmm, good question
[08:51] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: now:   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype
[08:51] <hyper__ch> SatanGola: now:   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype
[08:52] <hyper__ch> SatanGolga: now:   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype
[08:52] <hex1a4> hyper_ch: I could put the files up manually but it's too much hassle and time having to do it all the time
[08:52] <hex1a4> I want to setup a proper mirror that'll update automatically
[08:53] <hyper__ch> hex1a4: dunno
[08:54] <SatanGol1a> hyper__ch: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39684/
[08:56] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: did you do sudo apt-get update ?
[08:56] <SatanGol1a> hyper__ch: yes, i ran your cmd
[08:57] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: you did add the feisty repos but you use edgy system
[08:57] <hyper__ch> you first need to fix that
[09:00] <SatanGol1a> omg, now we're talking
[09:08] <SatanGol1a> hyper__ch: its all up and running thanks to you!
[09:08] <SatanGol1a> i really appreciate all your help
[09:08] <hyper__ch> SatanGol1a: no problem
[09:09] <SatanGol1a> :)
[10:06] <nickburns> Hi all, long time Linux user, new Ubuntu user... I've installed Ubuntu on my tablet.  Pen, etc., working just fine when the screen is at normal (0 deg) rotation.  However, when I go to draw a line when the screen is rotated, the line appears jagged and broken until I lift my pen -- and then it goes solid.  Happens with all the inking software I have tried so far.  Any idea?
[11:02] <ader10> Hello, is there a way for me to check my volume in xfce?
[11:03] <ader10> (I know it's a nooby question, but I'm used to openbox and kde)
[11:04] <safet__> bing bong bing bong bing
[11:09] <hyper__ch> ader10: ???
[11:12] <ader10> hyper__ch: Maybe you can clarify what you mean by ???
[11:13] <hyper__ch> ader10: it's about as cryptic as your request
[11:15] <ader10> hyper__ch: How do I see what level my volume is at?
[11:15] <ader10> hyper__ch: I thought that was the most easy question to answer :P
[11:16] <hyper__ch> ader10: a volume can mean many things
[11:16] <hyper__ch> ader10: add it to your bar
[11:17] <ader10> ty
[11:17] <ader10> See? Not too hard to answer :P
[11:18] <hyper__ch> ader10: see? Not to hard to pose the question clearly
[11:18] <ader10> hyper__ch: I asked the same question, hardly changed at all.
[11:18] <hyper__ch> ader10: a small change can make a huge difference
[11:19] <ader10> hyper__ch: "How can I check my volume" is hardly different than "How do I see what level my volume is"
[11:19] <hyper__ch> ader10: make a md5 checksum of a text file and then again with 1 character changed
[11:19] <ader10> hyper__ch: I don't like how you're being so sarcastic. If I was 2 years new to linux I'd go back to windows if everybody was like you.
[11:20] <hyper__ch> ader10: where have I been sarcastic?
[11:24] <hyper__ch> ader10: you shouldn't make such accusations lighly
[11:33] <ader10> hyper__ch: You have a dislikable personality. Please stop trying to make me mad.
[11:34] <hyper__ch> ader10: then you should leave here
[11:35] <hyper__ch> ader10: and on the contrary, I have quite a likeable personality ;)
[11:35] <ader10> hyper__ch: How about just /ignoring you? That sounds much nicer.
[11:36] <hyper__ch> ader10: that is up to you... but it's interesting you come here and make nothing but accusations and troubles

[11:38] <LeewardRail> anyone have any idea on why a USB mouse would stop working soon after bootup ?
[11:39] <hyper__ch> LeewardRail: has it always been like that?
[11:39] <LeewardRail> it works fine on boot.. but after a minute it locks up
[11:39] <LeewardRail> it worked fien with the same mouse with a USB->ps2 adapter  but direct usb  it dies about 1 minute after you boot
[11:40] <hyper__ch> LeewardRail: could be a conflict somewhere...
[11:41] <LeewardRail> no other usb hardware
[11:41] <hyper__ch> LeewardRail: no clue...
[11:42] <LeewardRail> :(
[11:42] <LeewardRail> is there a usb log ?
[11:43] <hyper__ch> syslog
[11:43] <LeewardRail> cool... i'll see it has any idea..... on boot it shows no errors... weird
[11:44] <hyper__ch> do other usb mice work?
[11:44] <LeewardRail> unfort i don't have another one in the place to try....   i'll have to bring one from home next week...
[11:45] <hyper__ch> and just use the ps2 meanwhile
[11:45] <LeewardRail> yup
[11:46] <LeewardRail> i'd just keep using it but the damn adapter is heavy enough to make it unplug every couple days
[11:46] <hyper__ch> ^^

[12:47] <TheSheep> thommy: press alt+f2 and type 'xfce4-panel'
[12:48] <thommy> now works thank you so much
[12:48] <thommy> i have another question
[12:49] <thommy> why if i do it in a windowed terminal it works until the window is open?
[12:49] <thommy> and why now it works?
[12:49] <TheSheep> thommy: that's because the processes in linux are hierarchical, they form a tree
[12:50] <TheSheep> thommy: if you kill a parent, you also kill all the children
[12:50] <TheSheep> thommy: if you run it form a terminal, the parent is the terminal
[12:50] <thommy> and with alt+f2 i open a terminal that is ever open?
[12:50] <TheSheep> thommy: if you run it with alt+f2, the parent is xfwm4, which is part of xfce
[12:51] <thommy> ok
[12:51] <thommy> understood
[12:51] <thommy> thank you so much
[12:51] <TheSheep> thommy: make sure to save your session when logging out, so that the panels are saved
[12:52] <thommy> ok
[12:52] <thommy> but what happen if i save a session? i save all the commands that are open when i shut down?
[12:53] <TheSheep> thommy: yes, at least the ones that support sessions
[12:53] <TheSheep> thommy: they are saved in ~/.cache/sessions/
[12:53] <thommy> tnx again
[12:54] <thommy> my system is too slow
[12:54] <TheSheep> thommy: what cpu and how much ram?
[12:55] <thommy> little
[12:55] <thommy> cpu-->730 Mhz              ram -->128 Mb
[12:56] <TheSheep> thommy: try to avoid running more than large application at a time
[12:56] <TheSheep> thommy: also, if you don't use a printer, disable the printer daemons in system->services
[12:56] <DaBeowulf> http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/ Did you try it? Will it require me to start using a firewall?
