[00:48] nope [00:49] right on thanks [00:50] i have xubuntu loaded and wanted to give e17 a whirl and thus far its smoking. if only i had a few more themes to play with lol [01:12] hi [01:12] i need advice [01:12] I managed to somehow turn off automatic cpu frequency choosing [01:13] Per instance, my amdx2 cpu can work on eather 1ghz, 1,8 and 1,9 ghz [01:13] I installed something with synaptic, trying to make temperature measurments work [01:14] And now cpu always work on 1ghz [01:14] how to make it back choose frequency automatically? [01:14] powernowd or cpudyn? [01:14] : ( [01:14] * somerville32 has no idea. [01:15] maybe to restart hehe :) [01:15] I dont want to restart :) [01:19] nikolam: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/ [01:23] ddddd thanks man! :) i will look at it ! :) [01:25] nikolam $ powernowd --help [01:27] maybe i shouldn`t install that applets from gnome for frequency changing, anyway [01:27] nikolam: $ man powernowd is very informative [01:27] lol [01:28] ddddd, People don't tend to like to use the command line [01:29] why then use gnu/terminal....eh...linux xubuntu [01:29] heh I just changed max frequency with sudo nano /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq [01:29] And everything goes back to normal.. [01:29] without restarting :) [01:29] :] [01:30] Thank you very much [01:30] somerville32: if you put the manpage on a blog... [01:30] nikolam: :) [01:31] Hmm, should I do the same with cpu1 :)) (same cpu dual core) :) [01:32] mmm nope, cpufreq is symbolic link, anyway :) [01:33] nikolam: there is another way to change the cpu speed but i dont tell you it is a secret [01:33] :))))))) [01:33] via bios? :) [01:34] dddddd whispers buy new hardware :-D [01:34] maybe.. just maybe.. I could make it work on 2.5Ghz without bios and restart haha :) [01:34] ddddd LOL :)) [01:48] hey guys [01:48] anyone using e17 and know how to configre a transparent terminal window?

[02:09] GOOD NIGHT [02:22] im using xubuntu 6.10 and have to install ktouch and wine but synaptics is asking for the CD i dont have it, how can i still continue with the installation without the CD? [02:33] hello [02:33] Hi [02:33] Anyone know anything about setting up dual monitors?

I am a linux newb so I need it in "captain dummy talk" [03:23] :] [03:23] What seems to be the problem? [03:24] well I cannot seem to get any noise in. [03:25] Open up the mixer and ensure that the input feed isn't muted or too low [03:26] Hokay. I clicked the volume icon in the task bar and got the big mixer board. I have a load of sliders but all of them are either full or close to full [03:26] Is it plugged in correctly? [03:27] I am unsure. I have tried the microphone plugged into all available ports and got no echo out of the speakers [03:30] should I be getting an echo out of my speakers? I just assumed since that is what happens in Windows [03:32] Wyrmul: I think not without some program redirecting the mike to the output [03:32] Hokay! then how can I see if there is audio going in? is there a status bar or something I can see somewhere? [03:33] I'm thinking about an audio recording tool for xubuntu, but can't remember any [03:37] audacity [03:37] I will install it and be bak then! === thomas__ is now known as The-Kernel [05:34] glxgears -printfps doesn't work [05:34] !glxgears [05:34] To display the FPS in glxgears, run 'glxgears -printfps' in a terminal.

[09:48] !firewall | gerro [09:48] gerro: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [09:49] yeah I've used firestarter in past guess I'll try that out, it uses iptables though right? [09:50] TheSheep: hey nice seeing you around too, how things been going? [09:52] oh really weird thing I have this thing called "unknown device wmaster0" for a network interface [09:52] gerro: no change [11:35] anyone know how to setup themes for the sudo applications [11:38] good example if one installs a software that need sudo to get it running like 4L-gui lacie lightscribe [12:23] nothing on changing themes [14:09] my friend delete my panel, how to restore it back to default [14:10] settings-> panel [14:32] I am running ubuntu 7.10 as a desktop and connecting to a windows xp pro machine for shared files. When I try to connect to windows xp share it takes a really long time to open the folder or browse. Does anyone know how to make it faster? [14:39] FireH4zrd: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-340463.html [14:40] thank you gerro i will try this [14:43] what's strange is his description of samba there is like how downloading updates is using my cousins internet connection [14:47] FireH4zrd: you ever try firestarter? I was just putting in some settings for my nfs server. [15:06] no im not sure what firestarter is [15:08] 1 min too late [15:28] what services do I need enabled so firestarter can display blocked connections list? [16:09] Hey all. I'm seeing that my tooltips (for network throughput) don't update unless I'm moving my mouse. Anyone else see this? [16:46] Maybelline: say what? [16:52] gerro: when I mouse over my network monitor, a tooltip pops up & shows my current upload/download speed. But, if I just leave my mouse there, the speed will change, but the tooltip doesn't update. Make sense? [16:52] It used to update (pre-Gutsy, I believe) [16:54] It might be a bug in the Network Monitor applet. My Rhythmbox tooltip updates just fine (3:01 of 3:19, then 3:02 of 3:19, 3:03, etc.) [17:03] Maybelline: is the network monitor app the same version as before? perhaps that feature was removed? have you checked changelogs on it? [17:04] Maybelline: I disabled my network monitor applet however during shartup and shutdown I see lots of network manager error messages and debug statements [17:05] Maybelline: have you noticed the same in 7.10? [17:12] Just so you know, I'm talking about the XFCE panel app, not the NetworkManager stuff that is new for Gutsy... But, thanks, I will check the changelogs & see if I see anything. [17:14] gerro: yeah, it just started doing this in 7.10, as far as I can tell [17:26] how can i change the startday off the week in orage from sunday to monday ? [17:42] brick__: good question but I have no clue how either [17:48] heheh :P ok. === d33p__ is now known as luisbg === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache [18:16] how can i change the icons in xubuntu? i downloaded some themes using apt-get. but they all pretty much suck:P can i use custom icons? [18:16] brick__: yes you can ... [18:17] how '+ [18:17] oh [18:17] ? [18:17] brick__: http://wiki.xfce.org/tips [18:17] applications> settings>user interface> icon theme [18:18] gerro. yeah, thats the icon themes i was talking about. they all suck :P ddddd ill check it out. thx:P [18:18] pick one name that looks odd "Tango" for example pull up terminal sudo updatedb then locate Tango ah hah the icon directory cd to there and run thunar as root sudo su [18:19] brick__: if it still doesn't work might be a permission thing try using ls -a to see if so then chown to fix [18:19] and chmod [18:20] also here is a little guide on changing icons for xfce http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/change-colors-xfce-icon-text-and-text-background-470494/ [18:20] I'm using what that second guy posted looks neat [18:21] ok. thx. ill have a look :P [18:21] hey room [18:23] alyxander: hey roomie [18:25] hey [18:25] gerro, i see they all use svg files. will png files work ? [18:25] brick__: I don't see why not [18:25] :P [18:25] anyone else running e17 [18:26] brick__: png seems to be prefered by most apps [18:26] alyxander: isn't that one of those tiny white things that I've seen scurrying about the interweb pipes? [18:28] brick__: hey where did you find those icons anyway can I see? [18:29] im gonna use mac icons.. 2 sec. ill find the url again. [18:29] http://rapidshare.com/files/67423716/Apple_icons.tar.gz.html [18:29] gerro lol not its a DE and its smoking fast and hot has animated backgrounds [18:30] alyxander, but it doesnt work verry well with compiz-fusion... atleast not the last time i tested.. [18:31] alyxander: enlightenment? [18:32] yup [18:32] and you dont really need compiz lol [18:32] brick_ e17 is eye candy nice with out compiz [18:33] and you better not give the analogy a blind old lady might need compiz zoom function to see screen but has a busted monitor without proper brightness so needs to fire write it up a bit only sometimes [18:33] I tried that still but in end I switched back to xfdesktop ^^ [18:34] ehh i liked xfce but wanted to try e17 for the longest and was too lazy to do anything more than an apt-get lol once they made it avaliable i was like a fat kid on a cupcake [18:34] all over it! [18:35] alyxander: what kind of cupcake? [18:35] gerro not really sure pick one lol [18:36] Hey all. As far as running Xubuntu off of a live cd, what memory is used, and where? [18:36] alyxander: damn it man better have some more cupcakes it lunch time over here lol [18:36] hehe.. well im doing a lot off gfx stuff so having the cube and the switcher etc. really helps me out:P cant stand to work in windows at work, so i run xubuntu off a liveusb there and work in it instead:P [18:36] How much is run from cd, how much from memory, are actual physical disks used? [18:37] dr_worm: I don't know if xubuntu uses swap partitions by default and usually if your card doesn't have direct rendering then it isn't benefiting much from its dedicated memory [18:37] dr_worm: 128mb to run xubuntu livecd and 192 to run xubuntu livecd with installer going [18:37] http://s54.photobucket.com/albums/g94/DariusDJ23/?action=view¤t=Screenshot.png [18:37] I was looking at the system monitor, that's about what I got as well. [18:38] It doesn't list any swap partitions or any swap memory used. [18:38] So we're flying straight from the CD and from memory, then? [18:39] alyxander: wow that looks really gay it must run smooth as silk for it to be so widely used [18:39] ouch and its like a hot knife through butter! [18:39] !language [18:39] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [18:39] and the desktop switching is so nice [18:40] just slides back an forth with no issues [18:40] Maybe, maybe not? [18:41] huh [18:42] alyxander: hmm you don't use system tray? [18:42] define system tray? [18:42] and for what? [18:42] does xubuntu make a version for imacs? [18:43] ahmuck: yeah the ppc version [18:43] ahmuck: that is the type of architecture an imac is right? or is that the one with intel processor? [18:43] yes, ppc [18:44] Ahmuck: where you at I'll see if I can find the mirror [18:44] i can't find the link anywhere, i only find i386 and 64bit [18:44] http://www.xubuntu.org/get [18:44] yeah I know [18:44] I had to look hard when I put xubuntu on my ps3 [18:45] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/ports/releases/gutsy/release/ [18:45] Ahmuck: hope that helps [18:45] what is an hppa? [18:46] dunno think its something usually used with solaris [18:46] wait no thats sparc [18:46] probably some form of mobile device [18:47] bleh, i should have looked at the description [18:48] PA device hmm [18:58] anyone know how to decrease the space allocated to each xfce icon and perhaps increase the number of plots? [18:59] gerro, which icons are you talking about? [18:59] vinze: desktop icons the one on the background [18:59] hey sweet my card reader is working! [19:00] alyxander, :) [19:00] gerro, hmm, can't help you with that, perhaps see ~.config/xfce4/desktop/icons.screen0.rc [19:01] gerro: you mean icons on the desktop ? [19:01] ddddd: yes [19:01] make them smaller [19:02] ddddd: but then they will still waste that huge space in between them [19:02] ddddd: its like almost a centimeter of icon gap [19:02] wait no its a full cm [19:03] hey interesting error while trying to update [19:03] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10kg2aSB8q4 [19:03] whoops [19:03] W: GPG error: http://packages.elbuntu.org gutsy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 223020C2A7C6F0DF [19:03] ddddd: and how do I make them smaller anyway? [19:04] ddddd: I like the moving background however the lack of sound is annoying [19:04] gerro: right click on desktop -> desktop settings -> second tab -> iconsize [19:04] ddddd: miss meant alyxander [19:05] huh? [19:06] ddddd: icons look kind of nasty scaled down can't I just change the spacing and not the icon size? [19:07] alyxander: the moving background looks nice is what I meant [19:08] oh kool [19:08] its freaky [19:08] gerro: for as far as i know not BUT there are plans for a new system or displaying icons on the desktop but that is in the future [19:08] or=for [19:09] okies [19:14] hi [19:15] hello [19:15] can i somehow disable the new graphics configuration tool/probe ? [19:15] bmod, what do you mean: "disable"? [19:15] sorry, remove and not use it until a newer version does recognise my hardware [19:16] bmod, perhaps you can uninstall it using Add/Remove... but I don't think so because it might be part of the Xubuntu base install [19:17] ai [19:20] which packages am i searching for? [19:22] bmod, in Add/Remove... you're looking for "Screens and Graphics", in Synaptic for "displayconfig-gtk" [19:22] thanks [19:22] is there anyone else having problems with nvidia graphics cards and multiple monitor setup? [19:23] vinze: maybe bmod means the bulletproofx function [19:23] ddddd, yes, but bulletproofx uses displayconfig-gtk [19:24] what does bulletproofx do? [19:24] It falls back to a "safe mode" showing displayconfig-gtk when your Xserver crashes [19:25] I don't have that installed [19:25] ok that's quite nice, but does it override the settings i do with the nvidia settings tool? [19:25] somerville32, really? In 7.10? [19:25] somerville, you have 7.10 [19:25] :) [19:25] bmod, oh, you mean *that* tool! [19:25] * somerville32 nods. [19:25] It didn't install [19:26] That's odd... [19:34] why would network manager only show 1 card under connection information [19:35] Because it thinks there is only one [19:50] methods: do you have 2 of the same card? [20:05] Does anyone know if it's a common problem that Gutsy locks harddrives, or is it just for me? [20:07] I re-installed everything, tried editing fstab and still my second harddrive is locked and needs a password [20:49] hurray i got it to work [20:50] thanks guys [21:00] I have an iomega usb hard drive. how do I mount it? [21:00] frogbyte, is it listed in Thunar? [21:02] no, it is not [21:02] Hmm... And is it listed when you type "lsusb" in a terminal window? [21:03] no [21:04] That really is odd... [21:09] hi there - anyone know how i can get access to my home network using xubuntu/thunar as I cannot get it under places as on ubuntu using gnome? [21:11] anyone online? [21:12] !samba | Templar_ [21:12] Templar_: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[21:15] so i need samba and smb client [21:15] cheers for the help by the way [21:15] Templar_: you need samba to serve files for windows network, and smbclient to connect to it [21:16] Templar_: depends on what you want to do [21:16] well its two linux pcs [21:16] Templar_: then use scp [21:16] Templar_: or ftp with avahi [21:16] Templar_: there was a nice howto, let me find it [21:17] Templar_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=218630 [21:17] god i hate infants!

Welcome! [21:18] * alyxander slaps thesheep for being an ass [21:18] it was a joke damn [21:21] lol [21:21] ah such hassle for networking - going to see if it will install normal ubuntu instead - got a dam headache already after setting up my printer and scanner [21:23] templar what issues you running into? [21:25] gettin a simple network interface for thunar as in like gnome has under "places" where I can bring up all the pcs on our home network [21:29] such an a headache everytime a new linux version is out to setup all the home network and our printer / scanner - its would be great if you could save all your settings to a single file which you could import into each new linux release [21:30] templar did you try the dolphin [21:30] is it good [21:30] i liked it [21:32] what exactly does it do alyxander [21:32] its a file manager [21:32] For KDE [21:32] a kde one [21:32] and it runs ok with thunar [21:32] or xubuntu sorry [21:33] Templar_: you can install and use any application from ubuntu repositories in xubuntu [21:33] yup [21:33] Templar_: but it doesn't run with thunar, it runs instead of it [21:33] yup [21:33] Templar_: and it will probably miss a lot of features without kde isntalled [21:33] will try that one so cheers guys, will that sort my network issue? [21:34] Templar_: doubt it :) [21:34] maybe [21:35] wow second thought i just tried it with e17 and it errored out but it loaded [21:35] Templar_: it's generally better to stick to standard programs where possible [21:37] any of you guys who use xubuntu - added your network to thunar [21:38] in the same way it would appear under places with gnome [21:38] Like file sharing?

[22:10] LiENUS: no idea [22:12] how come i can only use themes that are GTK2 when running xubuntu with compiz-fusion? i have downloaded a fre that are xfwm4 and they do not show up in the themes list [22:12] can anyone help me please? [22:13] !ask | ThusLex [22:13] ThusLex: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [22:13] !xfce-themes | brick__ [22:13] brick__: Themes for Xfce4 are simply GTK2+ themes which means Gnome themes are also compatible with your xfce4 desktop. To install themes, unpack it in ~/.themes/ To install icons, unpack them to ~/.icons/ - Visit http://www.xfce-look.org/ for all kinds of eyecandy for your Xfce4 desktop! - See also !themes for other GNOME theme sites === The-Kern1l is now known as The_Kernel [22:15] somerville32, im allready there and have downloaded the theme for xfce-look.org from the xfce section. its allready in the /usr/share/themes(along with all the others) but only themes that include gtk2 file work. the ones that include the xfwm4 folder dont show up in the themes selection list [22:15] Ask TheSheep [22:16] ok . [22:18] TheSheep, you around ? [22:20] brick__: the ones with xfce4 show in the window manager settings [22:20] brick__: they are window border themes [22:20] hmm and since im running compiz. window manager is not in use, right? (im using emerald for that) [22:21]
