Monkeygill.desktop icons created with wine, for me, usually use icons that contain a ".0" on the end of the name. this works fine for gnome. an example line would be: "Icon=0e5b_winamp.0" - but this doesn't work in xubuntu. no icon shows up. if I add .xpm to the end, then the icon is visible in the file manager, but not on the desktop. how can I make this work normally? are there any escape characters I should be using or something?00:30

soulfreshnerit seems to constantly be reading from the disk17:14
TheSheepsoulfreshner: you could put more memory into it17:15
TheSheepsoulfreshner: or just look at which applications take the most memory17:15
TheSheepsoulfreshner: and find lighter alternatives17:15
TheSheepsoulfreshner: you can also disable some services taht start by default but you don't use them17:16
soulfreshnerTheSheep, it's an old laptop with 256MB ram / p3 1000 - so not quite over the hill and running xubuntu's default stuff17:16
blendtuxno i dont think so TheSheep, i think there is nothing wrong with app, i think the problem is with the meta package, its a oneway trip17:16
soulfreshnerhow do I turn the swap off?17:16
blendtux  you can install but you cant remove all the packages the metapackage installed17:17
blendtuxin an  automated fashion17:17
TheSheepsoulfreshner: sudo swapoff -a17:17
soulfreshnerblendtux, you should be able to use apt-get autoremove...17:17
TheSheepblendtux: either way, file a bug please17:18
blendtuxhow does autoremove know's that i dont want or need abiword, wich is insatlled by the metapackage xubuntu-desktop or that i dont need all the gnome libs it installed17:18
TheSheepblendtux: because it should work17:18
TheSheepblendtux: it remembers what was instaleld manually and what was pulled in as a dependency17:19
soulfreshnerta - TheSheep - I'm going to run like this for a while and see if it helps at all... chances are it may even be slower, since the swap is cached...17:19
blendtuxoke, and does it matter that i installed it with the command aptitude install xubuntu-desktop17:20
TheSheepsoulfreshner: no, in the worst case it will just start killing aps randomly when you run out of memory17:20
h3sp4wnblendtux: either use apt-get or aptitude17:20
TheSheepblendtux: yes17:20
h3sp4wnblendtux: I would recommend aptitude as it works better17:20
TheSheepblendtux: aptitude doesn't have this function17:20
soulfreshnerblendtux, yeah - it will only keep the dependancies of the stuff you manually installed17:20
h3sp4wnTheSheep: aptitude always had that function17:21
h3sp4wnTheSheep: apt-get copied it from there17:21
TheSheeph3sp4wn: but the database is separate from apt's17:21
TheSheeph3sp4wn: so apt-get autoremove will not work if soemhting was installed with aptitude17:21
h3sp4wnTheSheep: yeah but you wouldn't use apt-get autoremove if you were using aptitude17:21
blendtuxbut how can i remove all those other packages17:22
TheSheeph3sp4wn: unless you are especially fond of complaining that something is a one way trip17:22
h3sp4wnblendtux: simple way to start off is with an aptitude regexp and markauto all libraries17:22
TheSheepblendtux: I'm sorry, I need to calm down :(17:23
h3sp4wnblendtux: i.e something like - aptitude markauto \~slibs17:24
attunix! #ubuntu-general17:24
ubotuSorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-general - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi17:24
blendtuxehm. btw i know exactly what was installed cause i had an empty /var/cache/apt/archive directroy so every deb file in there where for the xubuntu-desktop17:24
h3sp4wnblendtux: You could use dselect then easy as any to use for this17:25
blendtuxnever used dselect17:26
h3sp4wnblendtux: or work out how to get it into dpkg --set-selections from the list17:29
h3sp4wnbut dselect would be just straight away with the remove option17:29
blendtuxyeah, oke thanks everybody i work it out17:30
blendtuxlet me first make me a back up17:30
blendtuxsince i could be breaking my system if i made a mistake17:31
h3sp4wnblendtux: if you look at /var/log/aptitude17:33
h3sp4wnblendtux: Then if it was all done at once you can take the list from there17:34
blendtuxoke, thanks :)17:36
h3sp4wnThere is a way using - echo packagename remove | dpkg --set-selections - and dselect-upgrade17:37
brick__why is xubuntu only shows that i have 2.96gb ram installed, when i have 4gb installed.?17:51
vonck7brick_ : probably related to this http://kerneltrap.org/node/245018:01
h3sp4wnbrick__: use the server kernel or you can build yourself one with pae or a 64 bit kernel (use it with the existing userland)18:05
h3sp4wn64 bit kernel is a little bit of messing around sometimes but works fine18:06
brick__h3sp4wn, now your talking over my head:P hehe18:06
brick__is it possible to enable highmem in my present kernel without have to mess around?18:06
h3sp4wnno its a compile time option18:07
brick__yeah.. got that now.. but if i recompile my kernel now, would i have to recompile my nvidia driver etc as well ?18:07
brick__or will it "just work":?18:07
h3sp4wnKind of annoying ubuntu doesn't have a -amd64 kernel in the repos18:07
h3sp4wn(for i386)18:08
brick__they dont?18:08
brick__ahh18:08
brick__ok.18:08
brick__well i was thinking about installing amd64 arch. but all the problems with flashplugins etc.. and java. so i just dropped it..18:08
h3sp4wnThat is why until very recently I used a 64 bit kernel18:09
h3sp4wnwith debian sid 32 bit18:09
h3sp4wnlittle bit off messing around (i.e you need the nvidia-kernel-source from the 64 bit distro)18:09
h3sp4wnbut ubuntu doesn't seem to provide even the linux64 wrapper script18:10
h3sp4wn(although it does provide the amd64 libc)18:10
h3sp4wnYou could try using make-pkg --arch=amd64 --crosscompile=- (using binutils-multiarch and gcc-multilib)18:11
h3sp4wnNever tried that without already being running a 64 bit kernel though (and my gutsy system is a pentium m)18:12
brick__h3sp4wn, ok. well its sunday evening and am a bit hangover,, so wont start on that today,, but ill drop by later and ask you for some help:P18:12
brick__now im off to have another beer:P18:12
brick__but one thing first,, i got this logitech cordless elite bluetooth keyboard, but lost the adapter that comes with it. but i have another bluetooth v2 usb dongle. can i make them work together somehow and what must i install to make that bluetooth adapter work with the keyboard?18:21
redshadowheroHello.18:26
humsHi all, just install xubuntu. A bit help please. How do I set speaker and mic? I dont find any menu entries (yet)18:52
TheSheephums: they should work18:53
humsyep, just want to adjust them18:54
humsI dont find icon or menu18:54
brick__menu - settings - mixer settings18:55
TheSheephums: if there is no icon on your panel, then right click somewhere on the panel, select 'add new item' and find 'volume control' on the list18:55
brick__there you should be able to fix it18:55
humsTheSheep: thanks a lot, got it :)18:57
humsbrick: i found that menu but it doesnot allow me to adjust anything18:58
humsproblem solved tho18:58
humsthanks again, bye18:58
stinkyfootis there anyway to upgrade from xubuntu to ubuntu 7.10 directly?19:12
hollunderhi, can someone tell me how I can edit the menu?19:23
TheSheepsettings->menu editor19:25
hollunderwell, the problem there is the line --- include ---     system   ...19:26
TheSheephollunder: yes, that one gathers all your installed applications automatically19:27
hollunderwhich probably means that they are managed by the system and I can't access any of those entries19:27
TheSheephollunder: but you can remove it19:27
hollunderand then nothing gets managed?19:27
TheSheepthen you have full control over teh menu contents19:28
TheSheepeither automatic or manual, how would you do it otherwise?19:28
hollundermixed ;)19:29
TheSheephollunder: well, you can add your own entries19:29
TheSheephollunder: and if they have the same name as the existing one, they will 'cover it19:29
hollunderbut not to the automatically managed menus19:29
hollunderah19:30
hollunderthat could work19:30
TheSheepyou just have to put your entries *before* the include19:30
hollunderat least if I understand that correctly... they get merged if the name is the same?19:30
TheSheepyes19:30
TheSheepname and position in the submenus19:30
hollunderwill try that, thanks19:31
TheSheephollunder: alternatively, you can copy the relevant files form /usr/share/applications/ to ~/local/share/applications and edit them19:31
hollunderthanks, it worked19:37
manopulushi. installed xubuntu 7.10 and totem does not play mp3 and almost all videos. what i have to install to play?19:37
hollunderin case I delete the system entry and install a new program it would not get added automatically, correct?19:38
TheSheephollunder: yes19:40
TheSheep!mp3 | manopulus19:40
ubotumanopulus: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats19:40
TheSheephollunder: the menu is assembled from teh files in /usr/share/applications/19:40
hollunderthanks19:40
hollunderwonder why it didn't include konqueror automatically19:41
TheSheephollunder: konquereor has "onlyshowin: kde" entry19:42
hollunderwhere is that entry supposed to be?19:43
TheSheep/usr/share/applications/19:43
hollunderI don't see that line in the konqueror desktop files19:44
hollunderbut it is located at /usr/share/applications/kde19:45
hollundermaybe that's why it doesn't show up?19:45
TheSheepmaybe19:46
hyper_ch<-- is now also using Gutsy19:46
TheSheephyper_ch: using not utilizing? I thought you're a lawyer?19:48
hyper_chTheSheep: I am ;)19:48
hollundercopying to /usr/share/applications/ didn't help :/19:52
hollunderany idea how I can disable the system beep in xfce?20:07
nikolamin what occasion it is beeping?20:07
hollunderfor example when I keep pressing backspace in xchat and the cursor can't go further back20:09
nikolamhmm I use xchat-gnome20:09
nikolamAnd for some reason it is not beeping hmm20:10
hollunderI use the normal one20:10
hollunderI'll try to find another case20:10
vonck7do you have a sound card installed? if not-> perhaps that's why it's beeping.20:10
hollunderI have a soundcard installed, but it can't be accessed by anything right now because jack is running20:11
nikolamjack?20:11
hollunderbut thats not the problem20:12
hollunderit's the same without jack20:12
nikolamI that beep sound on login could be changed with something more pleasent. and sound of silnce also20:12
nikolamWhat is jack?20:13
hollunderjack audio connection kit20:13
hollunderthe beep I mean is the system bell, and it's annoying..20:13
vonck7yea, really annoying ; i know the problem from windows, never had it in lunix though.20:16
vonck7*linux20:17
hollunderok, I put rmmod pcspkr into rclocal20:19
KlrSpzso no probs upgrading 7.04 to 7.10?20:28
nikolammmm.. open office does not work on 64-bit using fglrx Ati driver..20:34
nikolam.. no problems beside that :P20:34
h3sp4wnKlrSpz: Lots of people have had problems20:38
h3sp4wnKlrSpz: If you perform the upgrade with aptitude dist-upgrade though should be fine20:38
abcde_I have a computer setup as a NAS now with FreeNAS.  I was looking to put Xubuntu on it, since it's lightweight, and I can do torrents on it.  I have two questions, can Xubuntu read/write UFS filesystems? and can I set it up to share via samba without passwords?20:40
hyper_chabcde_: you're going to use rtorrent?  UFS - hmmm, no idea.... samba can be setup without passwords20:41
abcde_hyper_ch, I was thinking azureus, not sure if rtorrent would have what I need20:42
hyper_chabcde_: if you want lightweight, you don't want azureus20:42
hyper_chabcde_: rtorrent is ncurses based and runs in a shell... so if you run it within a "screen" session you can control it from everywhere you have ssh access to the box20:43
h3sp4wnabcde_: which type of ufs ?(1/2? {free,net,open}bsd or solaris) etc20:43
abcde_I didn't mean lightweight torrent, I meant desktop, I need RSS downloading and parsing into folders, and IP Range blocker20:43
hyper_chabcde_: ah... hmmm... well, there's a rss fetcher but I haven't tried it20:44
abcde_h3sp4wn, I have FreeNAS on it now, so I'd assume FreeBSD20:44
h3sp4wnabcde_: do you just need to read it or to write to it also ?20:45
abcde_h3sp4wn, I need R/RW, since I still have free space on it20:45
h3sp4wnabcde_: I think there is experimental support from 2.6.22+ (might be 2.6.23) but its very likely to be buggy20:46
h3sp4wnabcde_: Only thing that will definately read it is freebsd sounds like20:46
KlrSpzi run xubuntu and deluge-torrent20:46
h3sp4wnabcde_: Or you could use vmware and a copy of bsd on another box to get the data20:47
abcde_KlrSpz, I have Deluge on this machine, I don't like it, it doesn't sort20:47
h3sp4wnabcde_: and then just install xbuntu from scratch20:47
KlrSpzabcde_: sort in what way? sorts fine for me20:47
abcde_h3sp4wn, I have access to it now, it is fine, but I don't have enough space to back it up20:47
abcde_KlrSpz, I want each RSS feed sorted to a different folder20:48
h3sp4wnabcde_: but if you want to read it from xubuntu its not fine20:48
h3sp4wnabcde_: no sorry write to it from xubuntu20:48
KlrSpzabcde_: yeah does that fine for me20:49
KlrSpzguess you need a better plugin20:49
abcde_KlrSpz, I don't want deluge, I don't like it.  I will stick to azureus.20:49
abcde_h3sp4wn, from the sounds of it, I might be better with FreeBSD then, so I can read/write it.20:50
h3sp4wnabcde_: or pc-bsd or one of the desktop oriented ones if you want it to be simple (but freebsd is not hard to run - just read the handbook)20:51
vonck7abcde_: what's wrong with deluge?20:51
hyper_chabcde_: how about transmission?20:51
abcde_h3sp4wn, I have PC-BSD on another machine, I'll try that, thanks.20:51
* vonck7 wrote the deluge WebUi , so stop complaining and use deluge20:52
abcde_vonck7, nothing is wrong with it for other people, doesn't do some of the things I want, read my above messages to see why.20:52
KlrSpzabcde_: that's because you're ignorant.. everything you've requested deluge does effortlessly20:52
abcde_vonck7, I want auto-sorting of RSS feeds, and I don't like the way the RSS works.20:53
KlrSpzabcde_: RSS is not part of deluge, it's a plugin.. there are many rss plugins to try from20:53
abcde_KlrSpz, I have deluge here now, I don't like the way things work.  Isn't this why there are so many linux distros?  Based on taste, I don't feel like I should have to defend my tastes.20:53
abcde_I don't mean it offensively or anything, I am just saying I don't like it.20:54
abcde_I don't like being called ignorant for not liking something.20:54
KlrSpzyou're not even paying attention.... EVERYTHING you've asked for, deluge does precisely to the level of taste you were requesting.... you gave up before you even messed with anything properly20:54
KlrSpzbut if you want to waste your system's resources with java, go right ahead20:55
KlrSpzi'm not campaigning for deluge intentionally, i'm just more pointing out your non-willingness to actually explore a project peropely20:55
hyper_chvonck7: write a nice WebUI for rtorrent ;)20:56
abcde_KlrSpz, No, it doesn't.  I don't like the look.  I don't want to play with something to get it working unless I have to.  I know azureus, I like azureus, I shouldn't have to change to something just because you say I should.20:56
KlrSpzand that's what ignorance begets20:56
* hyper_ch likes cli appz ;)20:56
vonck7hyper_ch , write a xmlrpc plugin with the same interface as deluge.20:57
abcde_KlrSpz, I'm of the "If it ain't broke" philosophy, azureus doesn't take enough of my resources for me to notice.  I don't feel the need to change.  That isn't ignorance, that is using what you know.20:57
hyper_chvonck7: ;)20:57
vonck7hyper_ch ;)20:57
hyper_chvonck7: webui is not really needed ;)20:57
KlrSpzyou're the only person i've ever heard of saying it doesn't use resources... anyway, that's fine... you can use azureus.. and it's not broken, it just comes with really simple plugins for people with simple minds... apparently still too difficult for some20:58
KlrSpzthere are more advanced plugins to allow scalability20:58
* hyper_ch used azureus as first torrent client on windoze and it just made my system crawling20:58
abcde_vonck7, I don't mean this anything offensive to you, I appreciate anyone who does work on open source/free software.  Open source is about choice.20:58
vinze...among others :P20:58
KlrSpzthat's my point20:58
KlrSpzyou're choosing not to choose20:58
KlrSpzonly because you are unaware of features20:59
vonck7abcde_ : my 1st comment was tounge in cheek, not offended20:59
* vonck7 liked utorrent, but that was a long while ago20:59
abcde_KlrSpz, I will let you think you have the high ground, and let you get away with your "simple minds" crack.  I am choosing, I tried deluge, that is why it is running now.  You are unwilling to read what I said, so I won't repeat it.21:00
KlrSpzvonck7: utorrent is great21:00
KlrSpziut actually runs great under wine as well21:00
vinze...but closed source :(21:00
KlrSpzbut didn't have a plugin feature, and is not oos21:00
KlrSpzoss21:00
