| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: i have to leave know, thanks for the all the help, hopefully i talk to you soon again, you now how to reach me on the xubuntu devel list | 00:09 |
| Mark76 | Okay. So I was, erm, doing something when all of a sudden the mouse and keyboard became unresponsive and pressing the power button on hte PC just switched it off | 00:19 |
| Mark76 | No boot down or anything | 00:20 |
| Mark76 | Is it just me who gets that? | 00:21 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: Last serious problem I found | 00:33 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: when I start xubuntu with startx and I start oowriter | 00:33 |
| tuxcrafter | it does not use the gtk theme | 00:33 |
| tuxcrafter | removing the .openoffice... does not work | 00:34 |
| tuxcrafter | I had this problem also under the previous xubuntu releases | 00:34 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: any ideas how to fix this? | 00:34 |
| tuxcrafter | now i will really go to sleep | 00:35 |
| Mark76 | Night Tuxcrafter | 00:36 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: oowriter --widgets-set .... | 00:36 |
| tuxcrafter | just dont know the whanted set yet | 00:36 |
| Mark76 | What do I need to do to get 3D desktop working under XFCE, again, Sheep? | 00:37 |
| excalibas | hello, how can i chose which programs start on boot? i have 7 nm-applets each time i restart... please help | 00:38 |
| Mark76 | Autostarted Applications? Excalibas | 00:39 |
| excalibas | Mark76, yes, where do i change that? | 00:39 |
| Mark76 | In settings, dera Excalibas, dear Excalibas | 00:40 |
| Mark76 | In settings, dear Excalibas, dear Excalibas... Settings | 00:40 |
| Mark76 | :D | 00:40 |
| Mark76 | Sory | 00:40 |
| Mark76 | Sorry | 00:40 |
| Mark76 | Fucking typing | 00:40 |
| Mark76 | Sorry | 00:40 |
| Mark76 | I hate typing | 00:41 |
| excalibas | Mark76, but i only have one network manager there, and xubuntu is opening 7 | 00:41 |
| Mark76 | Hmm | 00:41 |
| excalibas | eacho time i start mn.applet in the console window it starts one more... | 00:41 |
| Mark76 | Sounds like your session manager is playing silly buggers | 00:41 |
| excalibas | yeah very silly :) | 00:41 |
| Mark76 | Try removing network manager from AA | 00:42 |
| excalibas | and restart and add again?= | 00:43 |
| Mark76 | Yeah | 00:43 |
| Mark76 | If you know where to find it | 00:43 |
| excalibas | i try that thanks | 00:43 |
| Mark76 | NM is in my autostarts and I haven't had that problem | 00:43 |
| excalibas | i didnt had the problem before, but when i install my wifi usb with ndswraper the network manager doesnt recoginise the wifi, so i start mn-applet in console and i have wifi, but when i restart there was no more nm, suddenly i have 7... | 00:46 |
| Mark76 | Ah | 00:46 |
| Mark76 | In that case I have no idea what you should do | 00:46 |
| Mark76 | Wifi is outside my experience | 00:46 |
| excalibas | hi will try your idea | 00:47 |
| excalibas | brb | 00:47 |
| Mark76 | Okay | 00:47 |

| excalibur | what is the diference? | 01:21 |
| Mark76 | kill and killall are the Linux commands for shutting down programs | 01:21 |
| excalibur | ok, i will try to shutdown from the console, but it shouldnt be diferent from using the process manager | 01:23 |
| excalibur | c u | 01:23 |

| Mark76 | All the command line gymnastics you have to do | 01:30 |

| === thomas__ is now known as The-Kernel | ||
| Pownties | Would Xubuntu work better on my older system than Ubuntu ? | 05:24 |
| Pownties | In Ubuntu things would take 30 seconds to load, then the damn windows would animate when closing/opening, etc | 05:25 |
| Pownties | and lag when you alt + tab | 05:25 |
| Pownties | Worse than windows xp ever thought about | 05:25 |
| zoredache | it could work faster | 05:41 |
| Pownties | 'could' and 'will' are 2 things | 05:46 |
| Pownties | lol | 05:46 |
| ice109 | anyone in here? | 05:47 |

| zoredache | sorta | 05:49 |
| ice109 | id like to make the sidebar tree in thunar a little more like windows | 05:49 |
| ice109 | where it has desktop at the top or somewhere permanently | 05:50 |
| zoredache | sadly I don't have any answers for you | 05:51 |
| keitherz | hellooooo | 06:01 |
| zoredache | hi | 06:01 |
| keitherz | anyone here knows a NTFS recovery tool for linux | 06:01 |
| keitherz | my windows partition got vroken | 06:02 |
| Pownties | zoredache Do you think I should give Xubuntu a try? | 07:23 |
| Pownties | Or do you think it would be pointless like Gnome/Ubuntu | 07:24 |
| Pownties | ? | 07:24 |
| zoredache | I think xubuntu will be an improvment in general, but some resource-hog applications (firefox) will run just as bad on both | 07:35 |
| LastMall | maybe a commandline install, then add kde-core, then add things from there one by one. | 07:50 |
| cellofellow | ahhh, I'm using GNOME and I miss good-old Bulk Rename. That really is a great utility and I wonder why it's so unique: never come across anything quite like it. | 08:02 |
| hl3fx | hi | 08:15 |
| hl3fx | im having some trouble installing my PCMCIA wireless card. iv been at it for some time now, its an avaya wireless gold w/ orinoco chipset. im using Xubuntu gutsy with all the latest updates. iv been through a lot of threads in the forums and guides, cant seem to get things to work right. | 08:17 |
| hl3fx | a bit of a newb, | 08:17 |
| cyros | anyone know where that new finder thing in xubuntu 7.10 is? | 08:18 |
| cyros | or whats its called | 08:18 |
| cyros | or is it a gnome thing only? | 08:19 |
| hl3fx | the drivers are pre-installed i know. when i plug it in it comes up as eth2. i want to install the latest orinoco .15 drivers although i get a "wireless extensions are not enabled". i found a tutorial on how to edit the kernel to enable them, although im having trouble implementing the new kernel | 08:20 |
| hl3fx | i get "wireless extensions are not enabled" when i do a make in the driver folder. | 08:21 |
| hl3fx | anyone have any pointers? | 08:21 |
| Adriaan_ | Hola | 10:21 |
| schlumpf- | hi how do i kill a zombie prozess which does not show up under top | 10:44 |
| predaeus | schlumpf-, does it show up with "ps -e"? | 10:47 |
| schlumpf- | yes | 10:47 |
| schlumpf- | i used the pit to kill with signal 7 but nothing happend | 10:48 |
| schlumpf- | i thought 7 is the nuklear bomb under the kill signals.... | 10:49 |
| schlumpf- | what could i try next i realy dont want to reboot | 10:50 |
| predaeus | 15 is SIGTERM, 9 is SIGKILL (which you are refering to) | 10:52 |
| predaeus | you should always try 15 first | 10:52 |
| predaeus | only use 9 if it is absolutely necessary | 10:52 |
| schlumpf- | well 15 dident work | 10:52 |
| predaeus | see "man kill" | 10:52 |
| schlumpf- | thx 9 worked | 10:53 |
| predaeus | schlumpf-, the thing is 15 allows some programs to finish important tasks like writing something to disk, 9 just kills them, might get configs messed up or something like that | 10:54 |
| predaeus | that's why you should always try 15 first and not be lazy :-D | 10:54 |
| Adriaan_ | I'm not able to install 7.10, so my question is: is Dapper alright? | 10:55 |
| schlumpf- | yes i know that but its just a game which reguraly does it | 10:55 |
| predaeus | Adriaan_, reading the #ubuntu logs | 10:55 |
| predaeus | Adriaan_, <ubot3> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

| tuxcrafter | Hello everybody | 11:03 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: hello again | 11:03 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: did you remember my notes from yesterday ? | 11:04 |
| tuxcrafter | I cant get openoffice to use the gtk theme when xubuntu is started with xstart | 11:04 |
| tuxcrafter | openoffice --widgets-set gtk does not work here | 11:04 |
| predaeus | why don't you use gdm then? | 11:04 |
| ivan_ | hello, i'm trying to install xubuntu 7.10 und have started the installation cd with the second option. "secure graphic mode" or something like that. it is asking for username. what should I type in? | 11:07 |
| predaeus | ivan_, can't you just hit enter or so? | 11:08 |
| predaeus | did you try ubuntu or root? | 11:09 |
| predaeus | wait! | 11:09 |
| predaeus | you mean the mask that asks for your username to use for the installation? or does it require you to log into something? | 11:09 |
| predaeus | ah, ok seen it in #ubuntu | 11:10 |
| predaeus | oh man, sorry I nearly lead you wrong there. | 11:10 |
| tuxcrafter | predaeus: because it slow down my system with unwanted programs | 11:10 |
| predaeus | tuxcrafter, openoffice is a beast. gdm should not be that big of an impact. | 11:11 |
| predaeus | but I understand what you mean. sorry I don't know a fix. | 11:11 |
| tuxcrafter | predaeus: do you have the same problem when you start your system with startx only | 11:11 |
| tuxcrafter | sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 11:12 |
| tuxcrafter | startx | 11:12 |
| tuxcrafter | oowriter | 11:12 |
| predaeus | hm going to check, brb | 11:12 |
| tuxcrafter | ack | 11:12 |
| predaeus | tuxcrafter, oowriter looks fine with gtk here, with or without gdm. | 11:16 |
| tuxcrafter | predaeus: hmm hmm that can't be good | 11:16 |
| tuxcrafter | testing here | 11:16 |
| tuxcrafter | i got the same problem with feisty | 11:16 |
| tuxcrafter | its not and therefor too | 11:17 |
| tuxcrafter | starting gdm | 11:17 |
| tuxcrafter | brb | 11:17 |
| predaeus | tuxcrafter, k | 11:17 |
| neur2 | hello | 11:18 |
| tuxcrafter | hmm its broken in gdm too | 11:18 |
| * tuxcrafter going to debug mode | 11:19 | |
| tuxcrafter | sudo aptitude purge openoffice.org-gtk | 11:19 |
| neur2 | how do I turn off the compositor from the term, cannot start X | 11:20 |
| tuxcrafter | sudo aptitude install openoffice.org-gtk | 11:20 |
| tuxcrafter | still borken | 11:20 |
| tuxcrafter | damm whats wrong here | 11:20 |
| predaeus | hm | 11:21 |
| predaeus | tuxcrafter, have you installed openoffice.org2-writer or openoffice.org-writer (I've got the latter) | 11:23 |
| predaeus | "org" | 11:23 |
| predaeus | also I have sun's java implementation installed. | 11:23 |
| predaeus | I think ooo needs java. not sure though. | 11:23 |
| tuxcrafter | Note, selecting openoffice.org-writer instead of openoffice.org2-writer | 11:24 |
| tuxcrafter | openoffice.org-writer is already the newest version. | 11:24 |
| tuxcrafter | also got the free java installed | 11:24 |
| tuxcrafter | (it have been working | 11:24 |
| predaeus | ? so it worked before you stopped using gdm? | 11:24 |
| ivan_ | predaeus, no, it doesn't work | 11:25 |
| ivan_ | authentication failure or something like that | 11:25 |
| tuxcrafter | predaeus: indeed | 11:26 |
| predaeus | ivan_, ? where? | 11:26 |
| predaeus | tuxcrafter, weirdnessss | 11:26 |
| tuxcrafter | i hate this | 11:26 |
| tuxcrafter | so hard to debug | 11:26 |
| predaeus | tuxcrafter, probably some hidden gnome dependency or something | 11:26 |
| tuxcrafter | hmm I removed all gnome stugg | 11:26 |
| tuxcrafter | standby lets test | 11:27 |
| tuxcrafter | enabeling gnome support | 11:27 |
| tuxcrafter | brb | 11:27 |
| tuxcrafter | predaeus: found it | 11:28 |
| tuxcrafter | its indead a hidden gnome deb | 11:28 |
| tuxcrafter | damm it | 11:28 |
| predaeus | :-D | 11:28 |
| tuxcrafter | that so sucks | 11:28 |
| predaeus | indeed | 11:28 |
| tuxcrafter | we have to fix this | 11:28 |
| tuxcrafter | lets see if i can find the hidden lib | 11:29 |
| slow-motion | hallo | 11:35 |
| Adriaan_ | Hallo | 11:36 |

| bgergo94 | hi | 11:54 |
| bgergo94 | I have a small problem | 11:54 |
| bgergo94 | when i connect my wifi adapter, the xubuntu goes very slow and i can't reboot | 11:55 |
| bgergo94 | Just with the reset button on my computer | 11:55 |
| tuxcrafter | /me is getting the xfce4-session source code | 11:59 |
| predaeus | ohmy :-D | 12:04 |
| nikolam | tuxcrafter: Where is source code located , once it is downloaded with apt-get? | 12:05 |
| tuxcrafter | nikolam: in your home folder :-p | 12:05 |
| nikolam | I want to compile enigmail for iceape | 12:05 |
| tuxcrafter | apt-get source xfce4-session | 12:05 |
| nikolam | no no, when I install source with apt-get sources _package_ | 12:06 |
| nikolam | And where to go to compile? | 12:06 |
| nikolam | tuxcrafter: Where will you go in shell, to start compiling your package? | 12:08 |
| tuxcrafter | nikolam: at the place with the config files | 12:09 |
| nikolam | ??? | 12:09 |
| nikolam | tuxcrafter: Per instance, where that xfce4 source code will be unpacked? | 12:10 |
| tuxcrafter | nikolam: ?? | 12:10 |
| nikolam | We don`t understand each other.. | 12:11 |
| tuxcrafter | cd $HOME/xfce4-session-4.4.1 | 12:11 |
| tuxcrafter | make | 12:11 |
| tuxcrafter | first config | 12:11 |
| nikolam | Aaaaaah | 12:12 |
| nikolam | I never imagined it could be in my ~ | 12:12 |
| nikolam | its so stupit, and its im My /home/user dir but with root permitions | 12:13 |
| nikolam | so if I need to backup my /home ... aargh | 12:13 |
| tuxcrafter | ?? | 12:14 |
| tuxcrafter | dont use sudo when getting the source! | 12:14 |
| nikolam | Is there any way to alternate that location where source is, during install? | 12:14 |
| tuxcrafter | dont know maybe | 12:14 |
| nikolam | But I used apt-get to get source.. | 12:14 |
| nikolam | apt-get needs sudo, right? | 12:14 |
| nikolam | maybe i should login and compile as other user when getting source.. | 12:15 |
| tuxcrafter | predaeus: found the file xfsm-compat-gnome.c | 12:16 |
| predaeus | nikolam, you can move those files from your home anywhere you like as sudo | 12:16 |
| predaeus | g | 12:16 |
| nikolam | Do I need to remove sources them with apt-get or do I can just delete them and get sources as other user? | 12:17 |
| nikolam | OK, My mistake is that I was thinknig that sources acts like a packages if they are installed with apt-get. | 12:19 |
| predaeus | nikolam, check "man apt-get" | 12:19 |
| nikolam | They just doenload and unpack, don`t they? | 12:19 |
| nikolam | OK | 12:19 |
| predaeus | yes the man pages state that source "packages" are not tracked by apt-get. read it anyway though | 12:20 |
| nikolam | doing man | 12:20 |
| tuxcrafter | predaeus: cant directly point the cause of the oowriter gtk issue in the source files :-( | 12:26 |
| tuxcrafter | predaeus: using the xfce gnome support is costing me 10MB only to be able to use openoffice gtk widgets :-S | 12:29 |
| tuxcrafter | predaeus: also the gtk widgets of firefox thunderbird and openwriter are buggy, they put the icons to close to the left black menu line of the new gusty theme, do you see it to | 12:31 |
| tuxcrafter | predaeus: if you see this too please support me by posting a message at these bugs | 12:34 |

| dazjorz | Hi | 14:06 |
| dazjorz | I just closed my laptop lid and when I reopened it, all I had was a black screen with a white cursor | 14:06 |
| dazjorz | I tried getting control back, by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1, 'CRT/LCD' button, and SSHing in, but it didn't help; I had to reboot | 14:06 |
| dazjorz | Somebody in #xfce thought it was a hibernation problem - how do I turn hibernation off ? | 14:07 |
| sukae | hello | 14:07 |
| [chr0n0s] | hello, i tried some commands with xfwm4 --replace (and some options) and now at login xfwm4 won't start | 14:08 |
| [chr0n0s] | so one way to fix this is put xfwm4 --replace in the startup files, or is there a better way | 14:08 |
| dazjorz | Ah the bug is already reported, https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/138256 | 14:09 |
| sukae | is there a codec that allows mkv to play in gxine | 14:11 |

| LeChacal | hello i am new to xubuntu but been using ubuntu for a few years and i know how to edit the main menu under ubuntu but how do i do it under xubuntu | 14:16 |
| TheSheep | LeChacal: settings->menu editor | 14:22 |
| LeChacal | yes i saw that but how does it work i dont see anything that is in my menu in this window | 14:25 |
| TheSheep | LeChacal: you should see the logout and help etc. | 14:26 |
| TheSheep | LeChacal: all the programs are included by the system, using that 'include' item, but you can add your own additional items | 14:27 |
| LeChacal | TheSheep: ok so wait this might be my problem then, because under ubuntu there are other programs that are installed but arent listed and you go to settings->Preferences->main menu and you can add and remove anything from the main menu, so then you are telling me that eveything that is load is in the menu and that i can slim down my menu | 14:29 |
| LeChacal | TheSheep: sorry that should read "I can't slim down my menu" | 14:31 |
| TheSheep | LeChacal: every application you install can come with a .desktop file, that contains a description of its menu entry. These .desktop files are collected together and the menu is utomatically generated from them, so that your menu is always up to date. | 14:31 |
| TheSheep | LeChacal: what do you want to do? | 14:31 |
| [chr0n0s] | can anyone help me with this, the xfwm4 won't start by default, i have to use xfwm4 --replace to start it.. any ideas how to fix this ? | 14:33 |
| LeChacal | TheSheep: i was trying to add some things to menu that i saw in the Appfinder to menu for example i like using the root terminal for something and so i was trying to add that | 14:33 |
| [chr0n0s] | oh... i'll try something | 14:34 |
| TheSheep | LeChacal: you can add items easily | 14:34 |
| LeChacal | TheSheep: but how do i do that is what i am trying to figure out | 14:35 |
| TheSheep | LeChacal: with that menu editor. click the 'add item' button | 14:35 |
| TheSheep | LeChacal: 'add entry', sorry | 14:35 |
| LeChacal | TheSheep:ok thank you that worked, you were saying something about .desktop file, so you can also use that to edit the menu then or is that where the file that the menu editor loads in | 14:39 |
| TheSheep | LeChacal: the .desktop files are in /usr/share/applications/, one per menu entry | 14:41 |
| TheSheep | LeChacal: you can make local copis and edit them in ~/.local/share/applications/ | 14:42 |
| LeChacal | ok thank you that helps alot | 14:43 |
| TheSheep | LeChacal: this is a standard: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-entry-spec | 14:43 |

| xt600e | Hello! I am currently running xubuntu 7.04 on my very old Thinkpad 600e 130MB Memory. It runs quite well. Have anyone tried release 7.10 on such a low end machine ? will it be much slower ? | 15:17 |
| baty | i have a really big deal here, cant install any distro | 15:18 |
| sleepynate | xt600e: i'm running gutsy on a 733 coppermine with 256mb... runs just fine :) | 15:18 |
| sleepynate | xt600e: i actually think it's faster than feisty in most things :D | 15:19 |
| TheSheep | xt600e: gutsy seems faster than feisty, because it uses a faster gtk theme by default | 15:19 |
| pleia2 | xt600e: mine's a 500mhz dell w/128 ram, gutsy is doing fine | 15:19 |
| baty | i cant run dsl from cd | 15:20 |
| baty | but when trying to install ill just tilt | 15:20 |
| baty | in xubuntu its start loading desktop | 15:20 |
| baty | but when the bar starts filling it tilts | 15:20 |
| xt600e | sleepynate: ok - good - but when I run from Update manager - will it still bee Xubuntu ? or will it install the ubuntu ? In the readme file it says nothing about Xubuntu .. ? | 15:20 |
| sleepynate | xt600e: if you run update manager in xubuntu it will keep xubuntu... and your xfce desktop | 15:21 |
| sleepynate | xt600e: if you run it in ubuntu, with GNOME as your window manager, it will update to that :) | 15:22 |
| xt600e | ok - great - thanks - was kind of worried if it would install a much bigger ubuntu version .. :) ... I am kind of new to Linux... | 15:22 |
| TheSheep | baty: tilts? | 15:23 |
| sleepynate | xt600e: and in all fairness, i am running ubuntu with the window manager replaced by xfce :D | 15:23 |
| sleepynate | xt600e: so, no worries :) | 15:23 |
| baty | freezes | 15:23 |
| baty | im thinking about a hard problem | 15:23 |
| baty | just check the ram all night long | 15:23 |
| baty | no errors | 15:23 |
| baty | its a pentium II 333mhz 256 dimm | 15:24 |
| xt600e | Sleepynate: - I will do the upgrade now - Will I then also get Pidgin ? and Finch ? | 15:24 |
| TheSheep | baty: well, remove the 'quiet' and 'splash' from the boot line and see what it writes | 15:24 |
| sleepynate | xt600e: it will get pidgin for sure | 15:24 |
| xt600e | :-P | 15:24 |
| xt600e | I'll be back after upgrade........ | 15:25 |
| sleepynate | hehe, you can leave IRC open till you reboot if you really want :D | 15:25 |
| xt600e | maybe.. | 15:25 |
| sleepynate | won't hurt it | 15:25 |
| xt600e | ok - will do | 15:25 |
| sleepynate | although it will be slow, you can sit and browse the web, chat on IRC, etc... just don't much around in your root filesystem or anything silly :) | 15:27 |
| sleepynate | s/much/muck | 15:27 |
| baty | no errorsok | 15:28 |
| baty | how do i do that | 15:28 |
| baty | how do i do that | 15:28 |
| xt600e | ok - how long will it take - do you think - I have a 3Mbit link | 15:28 |
| ir4d0m | ANY ip changer thingy programs like TOR... but easier to install? | 15:37 |
| desertc | Almost show time in #ubuntu-classroom, Mr. Somerville. | 15:40 |
| ir4d0m | ? | 15:40 |
| ir4d0m | ok obviously no1 can answer my question... | 15:41 |
| wbadger | ir4d0m, what was your question? | 15:42 |
| ir4d0m | umm | 15:42 |
| ir4d0m | ANY ip changer thingy programs like TOR... but easier to install? | 15:42 |
| ir4d0m | i needa just change my ip while some1 directs me... lol sorta newb linuxer user... | 15:42 |
| wbadger | I never used IP changers sorry | 15:43 |
| ir4d0m | lol | 15:43 |
| wbadger | dhcp changes IP every time you connect of course | 15:43 |
| wbadger | so you could just reconnect if using that | 15:43 |
| ir4d0m | whats that? | 15:43 |
| ir4d0m | no idea what it is... | 15:43 |
| TheSheep | wbadger: dhcp assigns ips to cimputers, but how it does it, depends on its configurtion (on the dhcp server), it may assign the same ip every time | 15:45 |
| ir4d0m | ill still give it a try if some1 can direct me on how to do it? | 15:45 |
| TheSheep | ir4d0m: I don't know any other anonymizers than tor, but it shouldn't be that hard to install, maybe look on the forums for howto? | 15:45 |
| ir4d0m | LOL one of my friends helped me install it.. but then when i try to load an internet page with it enabled it goes to the little proxy page and says it couldnt connect | 15:46 |
| ir4d0m | ethier i have an old version... or in my fowarding socks and the direction after tat i got fcked up.. not sure which one though | 15:47 |
| ir4d0m | but im total linux newb and have no idea where to fix it | 15:47 |
| TheSheep | ir4d0m: why do you need an anonymizer at all? | 15:48 |
| predaeus | ir4d0m, try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Anon_Proxy | 15:48 |
| ir4d0m | ummm long story short... i got banned from a wii clan wtclan.com for saying gay .... samething with gamespot.com | 15:48 |
| ir4d0m | APPARENTLY U CANT SAY that game looks gay | 15:49 |
| sensouci | Hello, is there a way to mograte from ubuntu to xubuntu without reinstalling the complete system? | 15:49 |
| TheSheep | ir4d0m: that's pretty stupid :/ | 15:49 |
| TheSheep | sensouci: yeah, just install xubuntu-desktop, it will pull in all the xubuntu packages | 15:49 |
| ir4d0m | yeah i know but guitar hero 3 and Battalion wars 2 will be coming out... i needa get some fccs to pwn some people | 15:49 |
| TheSheep | ir4d0m: tor is pretty useless for gaming anyways, it's too slow | 15:50 |
| sensouci | TheSheep thanks and will it remove all unessecary gnome package so I could have a light system | 15:50 |
| TheSheep | sensouci: no, but removing ubuntu-desktop and then running autoremove should do it | 15:51 |
| ir4d0m | lol its WII GAMING... not computer gaming... i just need the computer for webpages | 15:53 |
| sensouci | TheSheep huge thks !!! I will install xubuntu with ubuntu for a while, to try it and then remove ubuntu if everything goes right with xubuntu | 15:53 |

| nikolam | hi | 16:12 |
| rastal | hello nikolam | 16:12 |
| nikolam | when you compile something, how comes compiler use just one cpu/core? | 16:12 |
| nikolam | hi | 16:13 |
| desertc | Anyone want to talk on Xubuntu for the Ubuntu Open Week ? The speaker has not showed up | 16:16 |
| TheSheep | nikolam: you can tell make to compile several files at a time | 16:16 |
| TheSheep | desertc: talk about what exactly? | 16:16 |
| desertc | At this point, anything that has to do with Xubuntu | 16:17 |
| desertc | The classroom is silent when there should be a session on Xubuntu | 16:17 |
| TheSheep | desertc: on #ubuntu-classroom ? | 16:17 |
| desertc | Cody Somerville did not show up for the talk | 16:17 |
| desertc | Yes | 16:17 |
| TheSheep | it's not like him :/ | 16:18 |
| desertc | also #ubuntu-classroom-chat | 16:18 |
| desertc | Popey is organizing the talk | 16:18 |
| TheSheep | desertc: I can say something, should I just stat talking? | 16:18 |
| desertc | You might check with Popey for OPS, but I think it will be fine to just start talking. | 16:19 |
| TheSheep | desertc: ok, here I go | 16:19 |
| desertc | \o/ | 16:19 |
| * desertc cheers. | 16:19 | |
| pleia2 | desertc: you'll be staying for my session right? ;) | 16:20 |
| desertc | Wouldn't miss it! | 16:20 |
| pleia2 | :D | 16:21 |
| desertc | I've actually been very interested in learning about your project since I heard about it, but never got around to researching it very much. I'm looking forward to your talk. | 16:21 |
| desertc | TheSheep: You have until the top of the hour to lead the session. Questions come from #ubuntu-classroom-chat and are prefaced with the word: "QUESTION:" | 16:23 |
| TheSheep | thanks | 16:24 |
| dsdsds | hey there. let me ask you some question... if someone would come to you and ask: "And what is actually the differenz between ubuntu and xubuntu?" .what would you say? :) | 17:08 |
| xt6001 | xubuntu is much faster ... ? :) | 17:09 |
| dsdsds | and why is that so? | 17:09 |
| dsdsds | new x-server? new windowmanager? | 17:10 |
| xt6001 | don't know the detailed techs - but it's announced as being much faster... | 17:10 |
| dsdsds | thanks that you told me that, but i still hope someone could more specify that beeing :) | 17:11 |
| xt6001 | Xubuntu uses the Xfce desktop environment, meaning that it will run fast while still delivering a user-friendly interface. Older computers feel lively again, while newer ones will run faster than ever before! | 17:11 |
| xt6001 | from : http://www.xubuntu.org/ | 17:12 |
| xt6001 | I use it on a Thinkpad 600e - Not being used for years - but now its ok to use a a Number 2 computer... | 17:13 |
| xt6001 | *as a number 2 computer... | 17:13 |
| superid | rather simple question (in Gutsy): how do I edit the system menu? the menu editor contains an "include system" entry, but I can't find a way to edit/view it | 17:27 |
| superid | there was a bug regarding this dated aug-2006, stating it had been fixed in Edgy | 17:27 |
| === sylvander1 is now known as sylvander_ | ||
| superid | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bugs/2006-August/273406.html | 17:28 |
| superid | :( | 17:32 |
| superid | I thought this was rather simple, since that's where mostly all the shortcuts are | 17:32 |
| TheSheep | superid: that menu is not editable, it's generated from the desktop files that came with installed application | 17:35 |
| TheSheep | superid: you can add to it however | 17:35 |
| TheSheep | superid: or cover existing entries with your own | 17:35 |
| TheSheep | superid: just add them to the meanu | 17:35 |
| TheSheep | menu | 17:35 |
| superid | thanks, I wanted to move things around, copy launchers to other locations, etc | 17:36 |
| superid | thanks for the clarification | 17:36 |
| superid | gotta go, see you all later | 17:37 |

| garuhhh | my video card is a RIVA TNT2 M64 32mb card, but windowsXP and even ubuntu uses the SIs 300/600... driver.. | 17:50 |
| garuhhh | with the sis driver, windows reports only 16mb videocard memory, but mine is a 32mb. | 17:53 |
| garuhhh | but after installing the driver provided by the vcard, it shows 32mb. (that's in windowsxp) | 17:53 |
| garuhhh | so i guess making sure that the correct drivers are installed in my xubuntu, i'll get better performance. | 17:54 |
| tuxcrafter | am back | 18:28 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: it seems openoffice.org-gtk requires gnome dependencies (LauchGnome=true) to be functional, do we see this as a bug? | 18:29 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: what does it require in particular? I think I'm using it and I have the gnome services disabled... | 18:31 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: I have been searching through the xfce4-session source code | 18:32 |
| tuxcrafter | and i could not pinpoint the exact dependency | 18:32 |
| tuxcrafter | but i must enable the LaunceGnome=True to be able to use the gtk widgets | 18:33 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: let me put it another way. how it doesn't work when you have 'launch gnome' disabled? | 18:33 |
| tuxcrafter | openoffice does not use the gtk widget windows interface that is installed with the openoffice.org-gtk package | 18:33 |
| tuxcrafter | when I disable the xfce4-session LaunchGnome feature | 18:34 |
| === nikolam is now known as nikolam-away- | ||
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: if you see a way to fix this than you would make me very happy | 18:34 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: you mean you see that ugly wxwidnows interface? | 18:35 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: can you confirm the issue? else try stopping gdm and use the startx command | 18:36 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: no, it works for me | 18:36 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: don't think its wxWindows because that is gtk, however I see the basic (java) interface | 18:37 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: still not able to replicate the problem? | 18:38 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: works fine both with and without gdm | 18:39 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: I use the tango theme | 18:39 |
| tuxcrafter | and you have set the LauncheGnome checkbox of in the xfce4-session app to disable ? | 18:40 |
| TheSheep | yes, I have it on off since always | 18:40 |
| tuxcrafter | (the icon theme works_ | 18:40 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: by default xubuntu has Gnome support on | 18:41 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: the dropdown menus and other widgest are normally themed gtk too | 18:41 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: yes, that's mostly for pidgin | 18:41 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: I use gajim instead, so no need for that | 18:41 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: what does pidgin use that requires gnome support? | 18:42 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: gconf | 18:42 |
| tuxcrafter | ow ok | 18:42 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: and I think it may use esd | 18:42 |
| tuxcrafter | is there a easy pastbin for images? | 18:42 |
| tuxcrafter | so i can post my screenshot | 18:42 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: imageshack maybe | 18:43 |
| tuxcrafter | brb | 18:44 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: http://imagebin.ca/view/i9HOHoB.html | 18:48 |
| tuxcrafter | if i enable LaunchGnome I get gtk widget interface | 18:49 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: instantly? | 18:49 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: no I always have to restart | 18:50 |
| * TheSheep scratches hi head | 18:50 | |

| TheSheep | I can't replicate it | 18:50 |
| TheSheep | even killing most of my apps | 18:50 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: maybe you have openoffice.org-gnome installed and it takes precedence? | 18:51 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: no i dubble checked it | 18:51 |
| tuxcrafter | rechecking it abain | 18:51 |

| tuxcrafter | With either LaunchGnome or/and xfce managing the desktop openoffice will use the gtk widgets. | 19:45 |
| tuxcrafter | nikolam: Nope if you sitll cant reproduce it | 19:45 |
| tuxcrafter | i will have to reinstall my testing sytem | 19:46 |
| tuxcrafter | and try it tere | 19:46 |

| tuxcrafter | no its nog a kernel issue | 19:46 |
| nikolam | No, I am telling, I have issue with using kqemu | 19:47 |
| nikolam | its much slower emulation without that | 19:47 |
| tuxcrafter | nikolam: yes true | 19:49 |
| tuxcrafter | i am forced to use vmware server i have a nice supported how to for it on the ubuntuforum | 19:50 |

| Adriaan_ | Hey, I heard there are some bad mirrors out there, so can anyone tell me where they got their Alternate 7.10 from? | 20:00 |
| nikolam | where are you from | 20:00 |
| Adriaan_ | leuven, belgium, europe | 20:00 |
| nikolam | i managed to download from france just nicely from Serbia | 20:01 |
| nikolam | So france is safe bet i think, even when there is huge traffic | 20:01 |
| Adriaan_ | free.fr univ-nantes.fr? | 20:01 |
| nikolam | free.fr i think.. somethink | 20:02 |
| tuxcrafter | http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenOffice#Setup | 20:02 |
| tuxcrafter | found that | 20:02 |
| tuxcrafter | export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome | 20:02 |
| tuxcrafter | trying know | 20:02 |
| Adriaan_ | it'd be nice if anyone could affirm that the torrent also works | 20:02 |
| nikolam | Adriaan_: Why it wouldnt work? | 20:02 |
| Adriaan_ | nikolam: I already had corrupted ISO that turned out to be broken when burned, and someone told me that some mirrors aren 'broken' | 20:03 |
| nikolam | No. Just download could be broken | 20:03 |
| nikolam | you can always Repair downloaded .iso with some bit torrent program. | 20:04 |
| nikolam | I repaired 4Gig debian Iso with torrent. | 20:04 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: OMG i fixed it | 20:04 |
| tuxcrafter | OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome oowriter | 20:05 |
| tuxcrafter | brr so much so much time i spend on it | 20:05 |
| nikolam | tuxcrafter: nice :,) | 20:05 |
| tuxcrafter | up to the next issue | 20:05 |
| nikolam | so what/where it needs to fix not to happen again? | 20:06 |
| rastal | good night | 20:06 |
| nikolam | Adriaan_: Also media could be false. You can always chack .iso integrity with md5sum | 20:06 |
| nikolam | Adriaan_: It is also Ok to first check .iso with md5sum, then while burning CD with K3B check that it is tested upon burning. | 20:14 |
| Adriaan_ | nikolam: it is just very weird that all the 7.10isos are corrupted except 1 kubuntu-torrent | 20:15 |
| nikolam | How do you think corupted? | 20:15 |
| nikolam | is md5sum Ok? | 20:16 |
| nikolam | You can always check md5sum from main site and re-check .iso you downloaded from other country | 20:16 |
| Adriaan_ | nikolam: yes you're right there | 20:17 |
| nikolam | I got .torrent and checked from mininova.org and checked all .iso`s i downloaded from france. Not 200 people seeding could be wrong.. | 20:17 |
| Adriaan_ | I'm downloading iso (non-torrent) from a french server now | 20:18 |
| nikolam | Adriaan_: Just check md5sum`s and repair those iso`s that fail with torrent. | 20:18 |
| Adriaan_ | alright | 20:18 |
| nikolam | np | 20:19 |
| Adriaan_ | 50%... now wht would come out... | 20:19 |
| === mick is now known as Mick_ | ||
| Adriaan_ | maybe interesting: the corrupted thing was always /nvidia-kernel-commons/ | 20:28 |
| nikolam | Mmm this startupmanager package have niice "create rescue floppy" option :) how nice :) | 20:28 |
| nikolam | Adriaan_: How do you tested it? | 20:29 |
| Adriaan_ | with the CD check for defexts option | 20:29 |
| Adriaan_ | *defects* | 20:29 |
| nikolam | Did u tried to use cdrw disk? | 20:29 |
| nikolam | Did you burned that .iso with other cd media | 20:30 |
| nikolam | Diti you checked .iso with md5sum? | 20:30 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: how can i set the | 20:30 |
| tuxcrafter | export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome | 20:30 |
| tuxcrafter | OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome | 20:30 |
| tuxcrafter | so it will be used on boot up? | 20:30 |
| tuxcrafter | i added the lines to .bashrc .bash_profile and .profile | 20:30 |
| tuxcrafter | it does work when starting xfce4-terminal | 20:30 |
| Adriaan_ | I use normal CD-Rs, I use InfraRecorder | 20:30 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: /etc/environment maybe | 20:30 |
| tuxcrafter | ah that was it | 20:31 |
| tuxcrafter | (forgot it) sometimes it happends | 20:31 |
| nikolam | Adriaan_: What is InfraRecorder? | 20:31 |
| tuxcrafter | nikolam: its a iso burner of windows | 20:31 |
| tuxcrafter | on GPL linux | 20:31 |
| Adriaan_ | nikolam: it's an ISO burner | 20:31 |
| tuxcrafter | GPL licence i meant | 20:31 |
| tuxcrafter | its very nice | 20:31 |
| Adriaan_ | I like it | 20:32 |
| tuxcrafter | (i thought it was gpl let check it to bue sure | 20:32 |
| Adriaan_ | I think it is opensource, not sure | 20:32 |
| Adriaan_ | it is under GPL | 20:33 |
| Adriaan_ | GPL version 2. | 20:33 |
| nikolam | nice | 20:34 |
| nikolam | so did jou check .iso for md5 sum before burning before_ | 20:34 |
| Adriaan_ | yes, but with the md5sum provided by the mirror, I'm gonna xompare ot other mirrors as well this time | 20:35 |
| === rastal_ is now known as rastal | ||
| Adriaan_ | it should be alright... gonna burn at 2x speed now.. | 20:42 |
| nikolam | Dont burn too slow | 20:45 |
| nikolam | On media able for fast burning, you should not go below some speed. | 20:46 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: echo OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome | sudo tee -a /etc/environment | 20:52 |
| Adriaan_ | Others recommended me, as the PC I'm going to use it with is a bit old | 20:52 |
| tuxcrafter | would this be something wort to make mainstream in xubuntu | 20:52 |
| tuxcrafter | also the next line would be nice to get mainstream | 20:53 |
| tuxcrafter | echo MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 | sudo tee -a /etc/environment | 20:53 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: no | 20:54 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: under what reason? | 20:54 |
| tuxcrafter | not standard? | 20:54 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: xubuntu comes with openoffice working by default | 20:54 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: no need to patch against that | 20:54 |
| tuxcrafter | hmm | 20:54 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: and pange is required for supporting internationalization | 20:54 |
| tuxcrafter | no point arguing to something that can not yet be reproduced | 20:55 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: rtl languages, for example | 20:55 |
| TheSheep | pano* | 20:55 |
| TheSheep | pango* | 20:55 |
| TheSheep | the fact that firefox is hopelessly broken since more than 1.5 years is sad | 20:55 |
| tuxcrafter | true | 20:56 |
| tuxcrafter | but my firefox is fast | 20:57 |
| tuxcrafter | with only 2 mods | 20:57 |
| tuxcrafter | i think its 40% faster then the default settings of xubuntu | 20:57 |

| szyszeja | how can i setup my keyboard | 21:00 |
| szyszeja | to latam or spanish | 21:00 |
| szyszeja | ? | 21:00 |
| tuxcrafter | so oowriter problem fixed :-p | 21:09 |
| tuxcrafter | up to the next one | 21:09 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: do you remember my comments about gnome-pty-helper and vte9 | 21:10 |
| TheSheep | no | 21:13 |
| Mark76 | I found some instructions for editing the xfce menu, but they don't seem to work | 21:15 |
| Mark76 | http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/07/12/manually-edit-the-xfce-menu/ | 21:15 |
| Mark76 | I copied the menu xml file but the ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml does nothing | 21:17 |
| TheSheep | Mark76: just edit the .desktop files | 21:17 |
| TheSheep | Mark76: xfce 4.6 will have a brand new and functional menu editor | 21:18 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: when xfce4-terminal is opened it will use libvte9 and libvte9 will create an extra process called gnome-pty-helper | 21:18 |
| tuxcrafter | xterm does not do this. I was hoping we can somehow change libvte9 so it will not have to use gnome-pty-helper and making xubuntu a bit lighter | 21:18 |
| Mark76 | When is xfce4.6 due? | 21:18 |
| Mark76 | Evening Sheep and Tux | 21:19 |
| tuxcrafter | there is no date planed i believe i always here that it will gome out whan its ready | 21:19 |
| Mark76 | The current menu editor is weird | 21:19 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: 728 bytes lighter, great idea | 21:20 |
| Mark76 | Who's 728 bytes lighter? | 21:20 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: and remove a process :-D | 21:21 |
| TheSheep | Mark76: that's how much memory gnome-pty-helper takes on my system | 21:21 |
| Mark76 | Is that good? | 21:21 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: remove init | 21:22 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: this process doesn't really do anything once your terminal is opened | 21:23 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: what will removing init do | 21:23 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: kernel panic | 21:24 |
| tuxcrafter | precise :-p | 21:24 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: init is the root of all processes in linux | 21:24 |
| tuxcrafter | yes i know | 21:24 |
| tuxcrafter | i already modified it :-p | 21:24 |
| TheSheep | no, you modified initab | 21:24 |
| tuxcrafter | your right :-p | 21:25 |
| Mark76 | You should have said: "init is the root of all processes in Linux. init" :D | 21:25 |
| tuxcrafter | i changed the startup process | 21:25 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: if you are looking for something to do in xfce, maybe write to xubuntu-devel mailing list and ask what needs to be done? | 21:27 |
| tuxcrafter | http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/132 | 21:27 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: my country already said 'agreed with comments' :( | 21:28 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: I post regular "improvements" of my xubuntu system on the devellist | 21:28 |
| tuxcrafter | The only problem I have with ODT is that it is integrated differently in all applications. a *.odt created in openoffice looks different in other versions of openoffce, kword and abiword. and also diffrence betweeen windows mac and linxu platforms | 21:30 |
| tuxcrafter | so much for a standard | 21:30 |
| tuxcrafter | that sad I think It Must become THe Standard because everything else sucks even more | 21:31 |
| tuxcrafter | :-p | 21:31 |
| tuxcrafter | and I am a very strong believer in standardization | 21:31 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: ever tried to open a .doc file in different versions of Word? | 21:32 |
| tuxcrafter | dont talk about MS word please :-D | 21:32 |
| tuxcrafter | i pay the FSFE to do my bidding :-D | 21:53 |
| Mark76 | The who? | 21:54 |
| tuxcrafter | and they can contact me if they need my help | 21:54 |
| tuxcrafter | http://www.fsfeurope.org/ | 21:54 |
| tuxcrafter | https://www.fsfe.org/ | 21:55 |
| Mark76 | Ah | 21:55 |
| tuxcrafter | 120 euro per year | 21:55 |
| tuxcrafter | freedom is not cheaper for me :-p | 21:55 |
| ninjabooty | my laptop only has 184 (after 12MB for video) | 21:57 |
| ninjabooty | I don't get the menu bar at the top of the screen like i'm supposed to | 21:57 |
| ninjabooty | no wait, 8mb for video | 21:58 |
| ninjabooty | still | 21:58 |
| ninjabooty | same thing happens with standard ubuntu | 21:58 |
| ninjabooty | all I get is desktop icons | 21:59 |
| Mark76 | Maybe your menu bar is set to transparent | 21:59 |
| mick_ | I use Xubuntu, when I start mozilla, the CPU grow up to 95~99% !!! | 21:59 |
| mick_ | What could I do ? | 21:59 |
| mick_ | Im just installing opera | 22:00 |
| mick_ | but I would like to continue to use mozilla | 22:00 |
| Mark76 | There are some fun games in the repos | 22:00 |
| ninjabooty | why would the menu bar be transparent on the LiveCD? | 22:00 |
| Mark76 | Ah | 22:01 |
| Mark76 | Got me there | 22:01 |
| ninjabooty | this is an old laptop | 22:01 |
| Mark76 | Why would installing Opera stop you using Mozilla, Mick? | 22:01 |
| ninjabooty | 800Mhz Pentium III | 22:01 |
| Mark76 | Cripes | 22:01 |
| Mark76 | Same as mine | 22:01 |
| ninjabooty | Gateway Solo? | 22:01 |
| ninjabooty | LOL | 22:01 |
| Mark76 | Except mine's a desktop | 22:01 |
| ninjabooty | oh | 22:01 |
| Mark76 | Compaq | 22:01 |
| mick_ | Mark76, cause mozilla use 99% of CPU and Opera dont | 22:01 |
| ninjabooty | also, since I can't get a menu bar ... I have no idea if my wireless card is working either | 22:02 |
| Mark76 | 833 MHz | 22:02 |
| tuxcrafter | ninjabooty: you have to little memory to run the liveCD 256 is minimal | 22:02 |
| tuxcrafter | you can install it | 22:02 |
| Mark76 | That's a heck of a lot of the CPU | 22:02 |
| tuxcrafter | 128 can do fine | 22:02 |
| Mark76 | YEah, xubuntu can run on 128 megs | 22:02 |
| tuxcrafter | i know use 122 with oowriter and pidgin | 22:02 |
| tuxcrafter | but i tweaked a lot | 22:02 |
| mick_ | Mark76, I have a Pentium M 2ghz | 22:03 |
| Mark76 | xubuntu must be lightning fast on yours Mick | 22:03 |
| mick_ | with mozilla ? | 22:03 |
| mick_ | I have 128Mo | 22:04 |
| Mark76 | I'm confused now | 22:04 |
| mick_ | its all right | 22:04 |
| Mark76 | DO you have 2 gigs or 128 megs? | 22:04 |
| mick_ | I just think something | 22:04 |
| mick_ | I installed a theme in mozilla | 22:05 |
| mick_ | perhaps it is this theme | 22:05 |
| ninjabooty | so even though I can't see everything, if I install it to the drive I will? | 22:06 |
| mick_ | I have a Pentium4 M with 128Mo RAM | 22:07 |
| mick_ | Mo = MB (in french) | 22:07 |
| mick_ | sorry | 22:07 |
| Mark76 | Ah | 22:07 |
| ninjabooty | ouch | 22:07 |
| Mark76 | Gosh, this game has rather grand music | 22:07 |
| ninjabooty | no wonder you aren't using WinXP | 22:07 |
| Mark76 | Install Vista. I dares you | 22:08 |
| tuxcrafter | i have a 1,2GH with 1G DDR2 :-p | 22:08 |

| Mark76 | I want one of those attachments you can get for the Classmate PC that turns an ordinary sheet of paper into a graphics tablet | 23:18 |
| keb | sounds liek magic | 23:22 |
| Mark76 | Hang on | 23:22 |
| Mark76 | I'll try and find the article | 23:22 |
| Mark76 | Here you go Keb http://education.zdnet.com/?p=1291 | 23:24 |
| keb | thanks | 23:24 |
| Mark76 | The 16th picture along in the screenshots section | 23:25 |
| tuxcrafter | is it correct that this initscript /etc/init.d/networking will never connect you with the internet in xubuntu? but only does a ifup on your networkcard? | 23:26 |
| tuxcrafter | could be way of here btw :-p | 23:27 |
| Mark76 | :| | 23:27 |
| Mark76 | :-/ | 23:27 |
| keb | Mark76 where did you get that thing | 23:28 |
| Mark76 | The article? | 23:28 |
| Mark76 | Linux Today | 23:28 |
| tuxcrafter | ow think i see whats wrong | 23:28 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: it's not correct | 23:28 |
| tuxcrafter | lets test it | 23:28 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: yes i read it in man ifup | 23:29 |
| Mark76 | Clocks go back tonight for us Brits | 23:30 |
| keb | no the writing pad and digitzer | 23:31 |
| Mark76 | Not mine. | 23:31 |
| tuxcrafter | you hoe auto dchp is working again | 23:31 |
| Mark76 | WHo you calling a hoe? | 23:32 |
| Mark76 | :p | 23:32 |
| Mark76 | Beehatch :D | 23:32 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: way is it disabled in xubuntu gusty in the /etc/network/interfaces file? | 23:32 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: because you didn't configure you network? | 23:33 |
| tuxcrafter | by default sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart did not connect my to the internet | 23:33 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: no the system has changed | 23:33 |
| tuxcrafter | there was a new dhcp deamon system | 23:33 |
| tuxcrafter | in that worked around the interface file | 23:34 |
| keb | tuxcrafter did you configure your network settings in Applications, System, Network ? | 23:34 |
| TheSheep | um, the /etc/network/interfaces was in debain since at least 4 or 5 years, I htink | 23:34 |
| tuxcrafter | keb: i dont use guis :-p | 23:34 |
| TheSheep | think | 23:34 |
| TheSheep | and in ubuntu too | 23:34 |
| keb | oic | 23:34 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: true true | 23:34 |
| tuxcrafter | TheSheep: however there is know an extra d-bus system to talk with dhcp deamons | 23:35 |
| keb | i use /etc/resolv.conf and ifconfig and route sometimes, when i add weird devices for testing | 23:35 |
| Mark76 | You must have an astonishingly dull desktop, tux | 23:35 |
| keb | maybe he likes ratpoison | 23:35 |
| keb | or text console | 23:35 |
| TheSheep | tuxcrafter: I think it's the otehr way around -- for the dhcp daemon to talk to other apps | 23:35 |
| Mark76 | Is it just a blank screen with a terminal? | 23:35 |
| tuxcrafter | so the new network manager could interface with dhcpdeamons | 23:36 |
| TheSheep | Mark76: text mode is very undervalue nowadays | 23:36 |
| tuxcrafter | keb: Mark76: i like guis but not for configuring my system | 23:36 |
| Mark76 | Ah right. Sorry I thought you meant for everything | 23:36 |
| tuxcrafter | unless the system setup gui is a good wrapper around a commandline tool | 23:37 |
| tuxcrafter | then its ok to | 23:37 |
| tuxcrafter | what the gui can i want to be able to from the commandline | 23:37 |
| tuxcrafter | so i can automate it | 23:37 |
