[03:35] <neru1> hello
[03:36] <ddddd> ?
[03:37] <somerville32> Hi
[03:38] <neru1> was it you who had a link to a sound module for a ibm 600e?
[03:40] <ddddd> im not
[03:41] <neru1> somerville32?
[03:42] <somerville32> No
[03:43] <neru1> thanks
[03:44] <somerville32> What kind of link?
[03:44] <somerville32> To a website?
[03:45] <neru1> no, it was just a link that if you go to it it would start a download
[03:46] <somerville32> http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Hardware/Sound_on_the_Thinkpad_600E ?
[03:50] <neru1> close but this link would just go directly to a download the guy said he wrote the script
[03:55] <kwhk> neru1, what do u want to have?
[03:57] <neru1> wanted to fix my sound
[03:57] <neru1> it was a script I think
[03:58] <somerville32> You might try those directions to see if they work
[03:59] <neru1> o.k.
[04:03] <kwhk> neru1, i installed xubuntu 7.10 recently on my 600e.
[04:03] <kwhk> neru1, u may check a few links to fix your sound problem
[04:03] <kwhk> neru1, here is one:  http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.04_Feisty_Fawn_on_a_ThinkPad_600E
[04:05] <neru1> how's it running for you? did you upgrade any ram . . .
[04:06] <kwhk> neru1, no, i didnt.  mine has only 228.8M
[04:07] <kwhk> neru1, here is another one.  http://www.mueller.ch.vu/misc/tp600e_en.html
[04:08] <neru1> stock mine had 160 I added 128 but it's so sloww . . .
[04:09] <kwhk> neru1, everything's slow?
[04:10] <neru1> like when I scroll the browser page up and down it studders
[04:11] <kwhk> neur1, take a look at the "video" session on the webpages i told u. it resolved the problem easily.
[04:13] <kwhk> neur1, change color 16-bit.
[04:13] <kwhk> neru1, to 16 bit.
[04:17] <neru1> o.k. I'll try that
[04:17] <neru1> right now I'm useing a puppy live CD
[04:19] <neru1> anyone got compiz working good in Xubuntu?
[04:20] <neru1> thanks for the halp I gotta go try some things
[04:25] <kwhk> hi, anyone using vnc viewer applications on xubuntu?
[04:55] <Magilla> hi guys. I'm setting up a digital photoframe based on xubuntu, and I have a couple of questions
[04:56] <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
[04:57] <Magilla> I'm unsure whether this is a standard cron thing or specifically feh, but does any one  have an idea?
[05:10] <magic_ninja>  E: var/apt/archives/foo2zjs_20070625-0ubuntu1.1_i386.deb: files list file for package `foo2zjs' is missing final newline
[05:16] <bigfuzzyjesus> hey whats everyones favorite feed reader
[05:16] <Magilla> firefox
[05:18] <docgnome> Does xubuntu have problems with compiz fusion?
[06:57] <Quetzalcoatl> Someone recommend me a newsreader
[06:59] <ere4si> try pan :)
[06:59] <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*
[07:00] <maristo> libxine-mpg? or... somthing similar...
[07:01] <ere4si> you have to enable all the repositories
[07:03] <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
[07:04] <ere4si> what happens when you click a mp3 file then?
[07:28] <PeckaH> can someone tell me why I don't find Stellarium with synaptic?
[07:37] <ere4si> PeckaH: have you enabled all the repositories? - stellarium will be in universe I think
[07:40] <PeckaH> yes, it says it's in the universe
[07:41] <ere4si> best of luck then :)
[07:41] <PeckaH> I must have done something wrong with the sources :/
[07:42] <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?
[07:43] <PeckaH> ah, yeah, I knew that :F
[07:43] <ere4si> k
[07:44] <PeckaH> or I didn't understand your sentence
[07:44] <PeckaH> so "ubuntu universe" ~ "xubuntu universe"
[07:45] <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
[07:46] <ere4si> video card driver I would think
[09:59] <nessmuk> I've tried numerous install of Xubuntu, and everytime I end up with this bug, where
[09:59] <nessmuk> I've tried numerous install of Xubuntu, and everytime I end up with this bug, where when
[10:00] <nessmuk> I've tried numerous install of Xubuntu, and everytime I end up with this bug, where when I try to open a Terminal, it logs out into the boot scripts and them back to login....but I can't open and use a Terminal normally. Is this a bug? Is there a fix for this?
[11:09] <Debaser> Hello everyone
[11:10] <Debaser> i tried installing fiesty on my sis's pc a pentium 3 150 somthing ram...but the installation gets stuck on some lib file
[11:10] <Debaser> i checked the integrity on my computer and it was fine :/
[11:21] <ZuLuuuuuu> Hi people, anyone knows how I can change the DPI settings in xubuntu?
[12:54] <filippo> I have installed xubuntu 7.10 on a pentium 2 (btw, great!).With generic kernel it doesn't shut down, with 386 one it shuts down, and i don't undertand why...
[14:07] <dmnd> hi
[14:08] <dmnd> where can i find installation direction for xubuntu 7.10 and beryl? i'm getting all edgy wiki's :)
[14:14] <sugardrunk> ?
[14:29] <jiutian_> hi
[14:30] <jiutian_> who know chinese?
[14:48] <nanonyme> !cn
[14:48] <ubotu> For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw  或者 #ubuntu-hk
[15:51] <acalbaza> anyone know how to get xterm running with vncserver?  my ~/.vnc/xstartup script does not seem to kick in?
[16:59] <magic_ninja> Pumpernickel: are you around
[17:00] <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?
[17:01] <ochosi> actually regardless of what theme i use
[17:01] <magic_ninja> probably missing the graphic file it calls for
[17:02] <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
[17:03] <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!
[17:04] <magic_ninja> np
[17:06] <Pumpernickel> magic_ninja: hm?
[17:07] <ochosi> magic_ninja: if you're still there, i have another major problem
[17:08] <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
[17:11] <ochosi> or anyone else on this problem?
[17:13] <Pumpernickel> It was saving your session properly before yesterday?
[17:14] <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
[17:15] <Pumpernickel> Sounds like a permissions problem on their config dir.
[17:16] <ochosi> Pumpernickel: could be. but also stuff like changing the window-titles font-size is not being remembered
[17:17] <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?
[17:18] <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.
[17:19] <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?
[17:22] <Pumpernickel> Easily?  Nope.
[17:23] <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
[17:24] <D--> really only need access to kcontrol :-/
[17:24] <TheSheep> D--: is qt3-qtconfig not enough
[17:24] <D--> TheSheep: sadly, nope, it's not :-/
[17:25] <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
[17:26] <TheSheep> taishi21004: buttons?
[17:26] <taishi21004> like on the install screen, to go forward and backwards
[17:26]  * TheSheep blinks
[17:27] <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
[17:28] <TheSheep> taishi21004: I'm afraid you can't move windows over the top edge
[17:29] <TheSheep> taishi21004: try setting smaller default font in the user interface settings
[17:29] <taishi21004> okay
[17:31] <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
[17:32] <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
[17:33] <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
[17:34] <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 :)
[17:35] <TheSheep> it would be probably possible to make something better using unionfs
[17:36] <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
[17:38] <D--> hah
[17:39] <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
[17:43] <ActySofts> How do I disable the system beep? It's getting annoying.
[17:45] <ActySofts> Also, Abiword is installed yet the add/remove thingy says it's not. I don't need it since I installed OOo (OpenOffice.org), so how do I uninstall it?
[17:47] <ActySofts> anyone home?
[18:32] <jaybird7> Hello
[18:33] <jaybird7> is xubuntu under the GPL?
[18:33] <vinze> jaybird7, partly
[18:34] <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|-_-
[18:35] <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] <vinze> jaybird7, yes, it's legal to use everything in Xubuntu
[18:36] <jaybird7> vinze : okay thanks
[18:36] <jaybird7> alright, thank you :) have a nice time
[18:36] <jaybird7> bye now
[18:36] <vinze> Bye :)
[18:37] <jaybird7> :)
[18:37] <centzon> is it ok if i just ask a question right here?
[18:38] <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?
[18:39] <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
[18:40] <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?
[18:41] <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?
[18:42] <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 :)
[18:43] <acalbaza> damn, that's racist...
[18:44] <vinze> acalbaza, ?
[18:44] <acalbaza> vinze : bad joke...
[18:44] <vinze> :P
[20:24] <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
[20:26] <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?
[20:27] <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
[20:28] <RandyboY> so youre saying there isnt players able to play windows shared mp3's?
[20:29] <vinze> RandyboY, depends on how you share them on Windows, mostly it is possible
[20:30] <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
[20:31] <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
[20:32] <vinze> RandyboY, so I'd try somerville32's advice first
[22:15] <XwarlokX82> hey guys
[22:15] <somerville32> Heya
[22:29] <zeroflag> hey.
[22:29] <zeroflag> sometimes (30-50% chance to happen...) when I stop playback in a media player or some sound finished playing I get rather loud white noise on the sound channel. this noise can only be stopped by a) playing another sound and hoping it goes into the other 50% or b) by playing a sound in a media player and instead of stopping the track, just pausing it. any suggestions on how to fix that? currently using HD onboard sound on a nforce630a board (giga
[22:30] <somerville32> Ask crimsun :]
[23:01] <The-Kernel> sup all
