[08:23] <ablomen> ~/.config/xfce4/panel/panels.xml << if you chmod that so they dont have write rights i guess they cant change the panels
[08:23] <ablomen> dunno if xfce shows up errors then, you should just try i guess
[08:38] <CyberMad> ok ablomen :) i will never know if not try it
[08:39] <CyberMad> ablomen sorry, i'm new.. if i want to do chmod of panels.xml

[12:28] <CapsAdmin> Hello
[12:29] <dddddd> hi
[12:29] <CapsAdmin> Is there a way to instal xUbuntu without formating my xbox?
[12:29] <CapsAdmin> I don't see any options, but I was thinking of a way like you can with GentooX
[12:30] <CapsAdmin> I want to be able to run it as an application through EvoX
[12:30] <CapsAdmin> I don't want it to take over my entire xbox
[12:30] <pleia2> CapsAdmin: this is the channel for Xubuntu, not xUbuntu
[12:30] <pleia2> might have better luck finding an xbox linux channel
[12:31] <CapsAdmin> iummm'
[12:32] <CapsAdmin> Dammit, I can't search with a specific case
[12:32] <CapsAdmin> at google
[12:32] <dddddd> no cursing
[12:53] <nob> hello all
[12:53] <nob> is there a network browser for xubuntu similar to ubuntu?
[12:57] <TheSheep> nob: no, you need to install a separate application for that
[12:57] <TheSheep> nob: like pyneighborhood
[13:01] <nob> TheSheep: cheers for the heads up
[15:21] <kwhk> i need to run ssh commands in Terminal from time to time in order to connect via internet to some different computers located at another location.  can i save the commands so that i can save typing the command every time?
[15:26] <TheSheep> kwhk: sure, the simpliest way would be to make an alias in .bash_rc
[15:29] <kwhk> TheSheep: thanks.
[16:24] <Asbanol> hello @all, I can't get my soundcard to run. I'm using Xubuntu 7.04 on an ASUS M2N-VM DH (nVidia nForce 430). The chip should be HD audio with an AD1988 codec
[16:41] <ere4si> !sound
[16:41] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[16:41] <ere4si> !ping
[16:41] <ubotu> pong
[17:10] <kwhk> TheSheep: just did some searches about .bash, doesn't seem to be something simple to me. but will certainly try. thanks.
[17:12] <TheSheep> kwhk: just add a line to .bash_profile in your home directory
[17:13] <TheSheep> kwhk: somethin like  'alias foo="some long and twisted command"'
[17:13] <TheSheep> kwhk: then you can call it by typing 'foo'
[17:14] <loguser1> what are pre released updates.?  is it important to check it while upgrading or updating.
[17:15] <TheSheep> loguser1: they are updates that haven't been tested yet
[17:15] <TheSheep> loguser1: and may contain bugs
[17:15] <TheSheep> loguser1: I mean more than usually
[17:15] <loguser1> http://www.kubuntu.org/announcements/7.10-release.php says to enable them           why?
[17:16] <kwhk> TheSheep: thanks again.
[17:20] <loguser1> you there?
[17:20] <TheSheep> loguser1: yes, was reading what they wrote
[17:21] <TheSheep> loguser1: basically, before you update to 7.10, you want to have a maximally up-to-date 7.4
[17:22] <loguser1> but untested apps..........!!?
[17:22] <TheSheep> loguser1: they are going to be replaced after you update anyways
[17:23] <loguser1> they would be replaced even if i dont update them with pre released. they will be directly updated by the upgrade
[17:35] <loguser1> what do you think
[17:40] <loguser1>  how to change user name and computer name in kubuntu?
[18:21] <techjim> does xubuntu come with desktop effects?  my graphics haven't been in order since 6.10 --> 7.04

[18:27] <loguser1>  if i have wine installed . how much should i worry about windows viruses. (iam a singer user in linux) and what can i do to prevent damage?
[18:30] <loguser1> is there a way that i can stop wine to auto open an .exe (windows app)   instead i always have to open a windows exe file by konsole.  ?
[18:36] <ToHellWithGA> i would like my laptop to suspend when i close the lid when it is not plugged into power.  can i do that with xubuntu?

[21:26] <Gilgad> I'm having problems getting the most recent liveCD to boot on my computer
[21:26] <Gilgad> It's a bit old, and i don't beleive it has acpi support
[21:27] <Gilgad> it crashes with the message "bios year==0, assuming acpi support"
[21:27] <Gilgad> i tried to add the noacpi boot option, but it doesn't change anything

[22:07] <KillerMonkey[p]> hello?
[22:09] <TheSheep> hi KillerMonkey[p]
[22:11] <KillerMonkey[p]> yo
[22:11] <KillerMonkey[p]> i need help
[22:11] <KillerMonkey[p]> with xubuntu
[22:11] <KillerMonkey[p]> TheSheep u there?
[22:14] <TheSheep> !ask | KillerMonkey[p]
[22:14] <ubotu> KillerMonkey[p]: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[22:19] <evil_tech> so apparently 64 bit (k)(x)ubuntu dont like radeon x800
[22:24] <KillerMonkey[p]> My cd that i installed (I tried both new versions) said that files on it were corrupt.
[22:24] <KillerMonkey[p]> Everything else before the install worked perfectly
[22:24] <KillerMonkey[p]> what should i do?
[22:25] <evil_tech> reburn or run the disc verification utility
[22:26] <KillerMonkey[p]> what will the disc verification utility do?
[22:27] <evil_tech> verify that the installer can access all the files necessary
[22:27] <TheSheep> KillerMonkey[p]: tell you that the files are corrupted
[22:27] <KillerMonkey[p]> and if it does tell me the files are corrupted then what should I do?
[22:27] <evil_tech> though that wouldnt really be necessary if it is telling you it has corrupt files
[22:27] <KillerMonkey[p]> ive burned the disk 3 times
[22:28] <evil_tech> meaning its an rewritable disc or you've burnt the same ISO 3 times?
[22:28] <TheSheep> KillerMonkey[p]: burn at the slowest speed possible
[22:28] <TheSheep> KillerMonkey[p]: and verify the image before burning
[22:28] <KillerMonkey[p]> um....ok....ill try over
[22:28] <TheSheep> !md5 | KillerMonkey[p]
[22:28] <ubotu> KillerMonkey[p]: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[22:34] <KillerMonkey[p]> i dont get it
[22:36] <evil_tech> don't get what
[22:36] <KillerMonkey[p]> wait should i have the i386?
[22:37] <KillerMonkey[p]> i have a previous 95 computer
[22:39] <KillerMonkey[p]> screw it im not doing the checksum
[22:40] <evil_tech> you need the 32 bit install and i'd recommend using the alternate install cd
[22:50] <Ashfire909> ok, i'm on the live cd and am about to showing to a friend. the font is like,huge. xubuntu
[22:51] <Ashfire909> (i can't see what i'm typing, sorry.)
[22:51] <Ashfire909> how do i shrink the fonts? i tryied setting the relsution up and shrinking the font but it's still huge
[22:52] <Ashfire909> all the fonts are big, 9 is like 66 size
[23:19] <KillerMonkey[p]> 32 bit install?
[23:20] <KillerMonkey[p]> is that i386?
[23:20] <evil_tech> yeah
[23:20] <KillerMonkey[p]> and i am using altertate
[23:20] <KillerMonkey[p]> it didnt pass the integrity check
[23:55] <inferno> does xubuntu come with a firewall
