| somerville32 | What kind of link? | 03:44 |
| somerville32 | To a website? | 03:44 |
| neru1 | no, it was just a link that if you go to it it would start a download | 03:45 |
| somerville32 | http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Hardware/Sound_on_the_Thinkpad_600E ? | 03:46 |
| neru1 | close but this link would just go directly to a download the guy said he wrote the script | 03:50 |
| kwhk | neru1, what do u want to have? | 03:55 |
| neru1 | wanted to fix my sound | 03:57 |
| neru1 | it was a script I think | 03:57 |
| somerville32 | You might try those directions to see if they work | 03:58 |
| neru1 | o.k. | 03:59 |
| kwhk | neru1, i installed xubuntu 7.10 recently on my 600e. | 04:03 |

| Magilla | hi guys. I'm setting up a digital photoframe based on xubuntu, and I have a couple of questions | 04:55 |
| Magilla | firstly, I want to be able to start feh (my chosen slideshow program) from cron | 04:56 |
| Magilla | the problem is that when I try to do that, it can't find the correct display and dies | 04:56 |
| Magilla | I'm unsure whether this is a standard cron thing or specifically feh, but does any one have an idea? | 04:57 |

| maristo | Hello | 06:59 |
| ere4si | !hi | 06:59 |
| ubotu | Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! | 06:59 |
| maristo | What pakage I have ti install to play mpeg's on Xubuntu 7.10 with totem? | 06:59 |
| maristo | package* | 06:59 |
| maristo | libxine-mpg? or... somthing similar... | 07:00 |
| ere4si | you have to enable all the repositories | 07:01 |
| maristo | I've enable | 07:03 |
| ere4si | open sybaptic - click on settings - then repositories and check all the boxes in the first tab except source cod - close that - then click an mp3 file and totem will ask to download the right codec. :) | 07:03 |
| maristo | oh, I'll try | 07:03 |
| ere4si | what happens when you click a mp3 file then? | 07:04 |
| PeckaH | can someone tell me why I don't find Stellarium with synaptic? | 07:28 |
| ere4si | PeckaH: have you enabled all the repositories? - stellarium will be in universe I think | 07:37 |
| PeckaH | yes, it says it's in the universe | 07:40 |
| ere4si | best of luck then :) | 07:41 |
| PeckaH | I must have done something wrong with the sources :/ | 07:41 |
| ere4si | oops - PeckaH - just to check - xubuntu has different repositories and one is called universe - did you know that...? | 07:42 |
| ere4si | stellarium ... universe just making sure :) | 07:42 |
| PeckaH | oh? | 07:42 |
| PeckaH | ah, yeah, I knew that :F | 07:43 |
| ere4si | k | 07:43 |
| PeckaH | or I didn't understand your sentence | 07:44 |
| PeckaH | so "ubuntu universe" ~ "xubuntu universe" | 07:44 |
| tarnto1 | I have installed xubuntu but once the after loading of the xubuntu progress bar the screen would go blank leaving a little red box with 'out of range 60hz/64khz' ...would that mean I should start from save mode and reconfigure the xserver or is it something else...i have never encountered this situation before with previous versions of xubuntu | 07:45 |
| ere4si | yep - apart from the window manager they are about the same - core wise | 07:45 |
| ere4si | video card driver I would think | 07:46 |

| magic_ninja | Pumpernickel: are you around | 16:59 |
| ochosi | hi, for some reason since i upgrade from feisty to gutsy my xfwm4-window-titles just show strange rectangles instead of characters, any idea why that could be? | 17:00 |
| ochosi | actually regardless of what theme i use | 17:01 |
| magic_ninja | probably missing the graphic file it calls for | 17:01 |
| magic_ninja | or the font | 17:02 |
| ochosi | a graphic file for the window title? (i mean it should say something like "Mozilla Firefox") | 17:02 |
| ochosi | hmm, the font... could be | 17:02 |
| magic_ninja | ochosi: not sure what the window tiles were bro, but yea, alter the font that it calls for | 17:03 |
| ochosi | magic_ninja: ok, actually you were right, thanks man! | 17:03 |
| magic_ninja | np | 17:04 |
| Pumpernickel | magic_ninja: hm? | 17:06 |
| ochosi | magic_ninja: if you're still there, i have another major problem | 17:07 |
| ochosi | magic_ninja: each time i log out of xfce it forgets everything (this problem is new, only since yesterday). regardless whether i change window-manager config or configure any program | 17:08 |
| ochosi | magic_ninja: something must be wrong with my session but i can't figure out what | 17:08 |
| ochosi | or anyone else on this problem? | 17:11 |
| Pumpernickel | It was saving your session properly before yesterday? | 17:13 |
| ochosi | Pumpernickel: yep, it's really not just about the session. e.g. gmusicbrowser forgets the library settings and deluge forgets my torrents. both progs are empty on x-session restart | 17:14 |
| Pumpernickel | Sounds like a permissions problem on their config dir. | 17:15 |
| ochosi | Pumpernickel: could be. but also stuff like changing the window-titles font-size is not being remembered | 17:16 |
| ochosi | Pumpernickel: it rather seems like a huge permission mess... and i dont even have any clue why that is | 17:17 |
| Pumpernickel | Again, sounds like a permissions problem. If they can't write out the changes to their config files, they can't keep the settings. | 17:17 |
| Pumpernickel | Were you doing anything with 'sudo' yesterday? | 17:17 |
| Pumpernickel | You may have accidentally overwritten something. | 17:18 |
| ochosi | Pumpernickel: hm, well to be honest i didn't do anything specific yesterday. business as usual. didn't install anything and didn't do any major changes. | 17:18 |
| ochosi | Pumpernickel: so it must be one small thing i did | 17:19 |
| ochosi | Pumpernickel: i also had a look into the users and groups interface but couldn't find anything suspicious there | 17:19 |
| ochosi | Pumpernickel: is there a way to easily reset my user privileges? | 17:19 |
| Pumpernickel | Easily? Nope. | 17:22 |
| ochosi | funny. now if i try to run users and groups it says "Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file." | 17:23 |
| D-- | Is there a way to install only kdebase and not all the junk that goes with it like kate? I was thinking of just doing a dpkg --remove --force on each of the other package, but worried it could break stuff | 17:23 |
| D-- | really only need access to kcontrol :-/ | 17:24 |

| taishi21004 | hey I have a quick question, I am trying to install Xbuntu on the Eee PC and I was wondering where I need to go to make it where I can drag the windows up past the edge of the screen so I can see the buttons | 17:25 |
| D-- | there's a couple things qt3-config didn't really handle, specifically icons and some of the extra features of the qt theme | 17:25 |
| taishi21004 | sorry if I interrupted anything | 17:25 |
| TheSheep | taishi21004: buttons? | 17:26 |
| taishi21004 | like on the install screen, to go forward and backwards | 17:26 |
| * TheSheep blinks | 17:26 | |
| TheSheep | taishi21004: ah, screen too small to fit the windows? | 17:27 |
| taishi21004 | because the screen is so small I can't see them, and in Ubuntu there was a simple way of moving windows up past the edge of my screen and leaving there there, I did it by disabling graphical effects | 17:27 |
| taishi21004 | yeah | 17:27 |
| TheSheep | taishi21004: I'm afraid you can't move windows over the top edge | 17:28 |
| TheSheep | taishi21004: try setting smaller default font in the user interface settings | 17:29 |
| taishi21004 | okay | 17:29 |
| taishi21004 | one more question, people on the Eee user forums are saying that you should use ext2 instead of ext3 when installing to minimize disk writes due to a flash hard dirve | 17:31 |
| taishi21004 | however there seems to be a lot of debate | 17:31 |
| taishi21004 | any advice there? | 17:32 |
| TheSheep | taishi21004: not sure, there are some options to tweak commit time and such | 17:32 |
| TheSheep | taishi21004: you'll want to mount tmp as tmpfs though | 17:32 |
| taishi21004 | alright | 17:33 |
| TheSheep | taishi21004: I have one box with flash drive (a thin terminal) and I use home directory mounted in ram and unpacked at boot there | 17:33 |
| taishi21004 | ah okay | 17:34 |
| taishi21004 | that makes sense | 17:34 |
| TheSheep | taishi21004: works fine as long as you don't want to tweak settings or save anything :) | 17:34 |
| TheSheep | it would be probably possible to make something better using unionfs | 17:35 |
| taishi21004 | alright well thanks for all of your help, I'm sure I will be back on in an hour or so with another question | 17:36 |
| D-- | hah | 17:38 |
| D-- | as per my earlier kdebase question | 17:39 |
| D-- | easy solution | 17:39 |
| D-- | copy kcontrol to /usr/local/bin | 17:39 |
| D-- | then remove kdebase :) | 17:39 |
| D-- | it works fine even without it installed | 17:39 |

| jaybird7 | is xubuntu under the GPL? | 18:33 |
| vinze | jaybird7, partly | 18:33 |
| vinze | jaybird7, some of it's applications are, others use other open source licenses, and some parts (drivers and stuff) aren't open source | 18:34 |
| centzon|-_- | hi | 18:34 |
| vinze | Hi centzon|-_- | 18:34 |
| jaybird7 | vinze : okay, the drivers and stuff that aren't open source, do i need to read those licenses too? is it legal to use those in this manner? | 18:35 |
| jaybird7 | in the US | 18:35 |
| === centzon|-_- is now known as centzon | ||
| vinze | jaybird7, yes, it's legal to use everything in Xubuntu | 18:35 |
| jaybird7 | vinze : okay thanks | 18:36 |
| jaybird7 | alright, thank you :) have a nice time | 18:36 |
| jaybird7 | bye now | 18:36 |
| vinze | Bye :) | 18:36 |
| jaybird7 | :) | 18:37 |
| centzon | is it ok if i just ask a question right here? | 18:37 |
| vinze | !ask | centzon | 18:38 |
| ubotu | centzon: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 18:38 |
| centzon | well, i was that in and of itself is a question..........but you know, a xubuntu one | 18:38 |
| vinze | So yes :) | 18:38 |
| centzon | anyways | 18:38 |
| centzon | whats teh best way to install ubuntu in an old system | 18:38 |
| vinze | centzon, you mean Xubuntu I suppose? | 18:38 |
| vinze | centzon, how much RAM does that system have? | 18:38 |
| centzon | i have an old windows me computer with 128mb ram | 18:39 |
| acalbaza | really annoying residual graphics above my system tray... have anyone else experienced this? running xfce w/o compositor | 18:39 |
| centzon | and a 1.5 ghz p4 | 18:39 |
| vinze | centzon, hmm, you could use the Alternate Install CD or add the boot parameter "only-ubiquity" when starting from the Desktop CD | 18:40 |
| centzon | does the alternate cd use less resources? | 18:40 |
| vinze | centzon, yes (compared to the desktop cd without only-ubiquity) | 18:41 |
| acalbaza | what was that all about? | 18:41 |
| vinze | centzon, but it is a text bsaed interface | 18:41 |
| centzon | thast fine, if theres a guide somewehre i dont mind reading | 18:41 |
| centzon | or would i be all on my own? | 18:41 |
| vinze | centzon, I suppose a quick search will turn up plenty of results, Xubuntu's installation works the same as Ubuntu's, so... :) | 18:42 |
| centzon | got it | 18:42 |
| centzon | thanks | 18:42 |
| vinze | np :) | 18:42 |
| acalbaza | damn, that's racist... | 18:43 |

| RandyboY | Could anyone tips me of a player with winamps medialibrary-abilities? Meaning that i can play mp3 "remotely" and dont have to download them to the xubuntu machine | 20:24 |
| vinze | RandyboY, I believe XMMS is very WinAmp-like | 20:24 |
| somerville32 | RandyboY, Almost any of the players can listen to a stream | 20:24 |
| vinze | RandyboY, if "remotely" means DAAP then I know Rhythmbox does that too | 20:24 |
| RandyboY | Ok, different answers here :-) Maybe i didnt express myself good enough :-) What i meant was i want to play mp3 files located on another machine on my network. Not a stream | 20:26 |
| vinze | RandyboY, how are they shared on the network? | 20:26 |
| RandyboY | Oh, sorry, on a windows xp machine | 20:27 |
| somerville32 | You could use samba | 20:27 |
| somerville32 | and than just play them like they were local | 20:27 |
| RandyboY | so youre saying there isnt players able to play windows shared mp3's? | 20:28 |
| vinze | RandyboY, depends on how you share them on Windows, mostly it is possible | 20:29 |
| vinze | RandyboY, for example, Limewire and iTunes share using DAAP, and I can play those songs on my brother's Windows XP pc with Rhythmbox | 20:30 |
| RandyboY | vinze, all the mp3's are in a shared folder on the win xp machine | 20:30 |
| RandyboY | ok, ill try rythmbox then :) | 20:30 |
| vinze | RandyboY, I don't know Windows terminology, is "shared folder" using SMB or something? somerville32 mentioned Samba | 20:30 |
| somerville32 | If you share the folder, you can access it on linux with Samba | 20:31 |
| somerville32 | !shares | 20:31 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about shares - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:31 |
| somerville32 | !share | 20:31 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about share - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:31 |
| somerville32 | :/ | 20:31 |
| somerville32 | !samba | 20:31 |
| ubotu | 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 | 20:31 |
| somerville32 | :D | 20:31 |
| RandyboY | ok, ill try that too if rythmbox doesnt solve the issue :) | 20:31 |
| vinze | RandyboY, most likely Rhythmbox won't if you haven't set your music up to be shared with DAAP | 20:31 |
| vinze | RandyboY, so I'd try somerville32's advice first | 20:32 |
