[00:27] <bim> my bluetooth applet has disappeared.
[00:31] <NoiseBO1> What to do when adding a module to the blacklist does NOT prevent it from loading at boot time?
[00:46] <neur1> how can i turn off conky thru the term?
[00:46] <TheSheep> neur1: maybe kill it?
[00:48] <neur1> what would be the line, i tried kill conky
[00:50] <seisen> you can always use top with root priveleges and kill it that way
[00:50] <somerville32> kilall conky
[00:51] <evil_tech> is there a linux equivalent to WinAudit or Belarc Advisor?
[00:51] <somerville32> I have no idea
[00:51] <TheSheep> evil_tech: don't assume we knowanything about windows
[00:51] <neur1> killall conky
[00:52] <neur1> thanks!
[00:52] <evil_tech> they are programs that pull serial numbers, manufacturer and general specs off the hardware in your machine
[00:52] <evil_tech> i really dont want to tear this Vaio apart just to get serial numbers off the board and hard disks
[00:53] <TheSheep> evil_tech: try lshw
[00:55] <evil_tech> has anyone told you you rock Sheep?
[00:55] <evil_tech> thanks

[01:10] <evil_tech> well the hardinfo thing is cool but it crashes. i like command line stuff better.
[01:19] <burner> somerville32: you ever get contacted by the eeeXubuntu guy?
[01:19] <burner> i got an email saying he would
[01:19] <burner> middle of finals and he's a student... yadda yadda yadda
[01:20] <somerville32> burner, Yea, he is in #xubuntu-devel right now :P
[01:28] <burner> sweet
[02:13] <rizenine> Question, I have Xubuntu installed, and it looks good, but when I install the nvidia drivers everything gets big.
[02:13] <rizenine> What is causing this?
[02:13] <rizenine> I have it set to the correct resolution.
[02:17] <rizenine> I see the default depth is 16 for nv driver and 24 for the nvidia. Not sure that matters.
[02:18] <rizenine> The glx mod is loaded, but that looks like the only difference.
[03:19] <neur1> do you use firestarter? how and what do i add policies . . .
[03:50] <baron327> hello
[04:06] <Vash63> Trying to find a really simple, small Linux version that will run well on a 1Ghz Celeron with 128MB of RAM... xubuntu graphical installer keeps locking up.
[04:06] <Vash63> At least X does, the kernel seems to still be going but I can't even ctrl-alt-f2 or anything to get out, it spins up the CD but the screen never changes.
[04:13] <burner> anyone know how to get gedit to open/save ftp files?  i already added ftp to the available vfs points in gconf-editor
[04:13] <burner> I have libgnomevfs2-bin
[04:13] <burner> but i still can't file, open, and type an ftp;// location
[04:52] <gerro> hey can someone tell me what program is pulled up when you run applications > settings > login window

[04:56] <octoberdan> What's the command to bring up a printer manager?
[04:56] <octoberdan> Is there one for xubuntu?
[05:01] <gerro> octoberdan: umm applications> settings> printing
[05:01] <gerro> do you mean like a systray icon?
[05:02] <burner> gerro: gdmsetup
[05:03] <octoberdan> I meant more a wizard for adding printers, if there is one or one I could install
[05:03] <octoberdan> and the command that would start it
[05:03] <octoberdan> sudo apt-get install gnome-cups-manager && gnome-cups-manager
[05:03] <octoberdan> Problem solved, thank you
[05:04] <octoberdan> Ha! Printer was already installed
[05:07] <octoberdan> Now to find where cups-pdf saves..
[05:16] <neur1> what's a good iso burner?

[05:57] <greenman1itch> there are no error messages
[09:11] <gerro> how do you update a bios???
[09:12] <gerro> !bios
[09:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bios - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:12] <gerro> been stuck on this issue for some time :(
[09:13] <gerro> most just don't get it a floppy or its image or any hint of a floppy is too small and obsolete to do anything with new bios?
[09:14] <gerro> anyway some new feature got thrown into 7.10 recently and I need the newer bios update "prevents random power offs" just like all the windows users do now too
[09:19] <gerro> nvm I'm using this flash drive perhaps I can get something working like that
[09:29] <Zombie> I honestly don't know./
[09:44] <gerro> Zombie: no prob I found my usb stick so I'll do it that way
[09:44] <Zombie> Anyone familiar with lockup issues under Ubuntu Gutsy if LDAP is enabled in nsswitch?
[10:55] <Hattori> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=642887 anybody know why that happen?
[15:00] <nvm57> Hi, this might be pretty stupid question, but anyway, xubuntu is free for persons, but is it also free for companies? Or does it need license?
[15:00] <vinze> nvm57, yes, free of charge for everyone
[15:01] <nvm57> so there isn't any smallprind anywhere? : )
[15:01] <nvm57> *smallprint
[15:01] <vinze> Nope :)
[15:01] <nvm57> thank you : )
[15:01] <vinze> Well, technically, if you were going to make your own versions there are things to keep in mind, but not for using it ;-)
[15:02] <thegeeker> There is small print if you modify it and redistribute it commercially I believe
[15:02] <thegeeker> Usual GPL stuff
[15:02] <nvm57> oki
[15:02] <vinze> thegeeker, yeah, and then you have to keep *all* the different licenses in mind, blabla...

[15:59] <vinze> peterpan_, see #kubuntu
[16:00] <peterpan_> k
[16:02] <peterpan_> - iam new. i just know i have alpha tv tuner card.
[16:03] <vinze> peterpan_, yeah well, if you use Kubuntu then #kubuntu is probably the best place to ask, and perhaps #kdetv and #mythtv exist too
[16:03] <vinze> peterpan_, there's also the Mythbuntu distribution
[16:04] <peterpan_> k
[16:04] <peterpan_> mythbuntu.. whats that

[16:13] <bart1105> i have a little, problem, i can play dvds on my laptop running xubuntu gutsy, using vlc but i can't seem to play vcds?
[16:16] <vinze> bart1105, VLC's wiki says it can play them, but includes special instructions, have you followed those? http://wiki.videolan.org/VCD
[16:17] <bart1105> not yet. its beem more than a week with no net connection for me.. i'll check it. thanks
[16:17] <vinze> bart1105, it says "you can play a VCD in VLC by selecting Open Disc from the File menu, and selecting the VCD option. "
[16:18] <bart1105> i did that and it won't play
[16:18] <vinze> bart1105, and from a terminal window: "vlc vcd:///dev/dvd"
[16:18] <bart1105> i'll try the terminal..
[16:20] <vinze> Gotta go, good luck

[18:29] <evil_tech> whats a good torrent program for Xubuntu
[18:30] <zoredache> if you can live with the command line, then bittornado is nice
[18:31] <evil_tech> i like command line. is the man page on it pretty informative?
[18:32] <zoredache> the manpage is pretty informative...
[18:32] <seisen> deluge isn't bad either
[18:33] <zoredache> usually I make a directory /var/torrents, and then run 'btlaunchmanycurses.bittornado --max_upload_rate 100 /var/torrents' inside screen
[18:33] <zoredache> all I have to do is save the .torrent files in /var/torrents, and remove them from that folder when things are done
[18:33] <evil_tech> nice
[18:34] <evil_tech> downloading bittornado and deluge now. think ill play with them both and see which one i like better
[18:38] <scotta316> I've tried them both and ended up going back to using utorrent under wine.
[18:38] <zoredache> downloading?   bittornado is avialable in apt...
[18:43] <scotta316> evil_tech: I've tried them both and went back to using utorrent under wine.
[18:48] <evil_tech> i like azureus but its a mem hog
[18:49] <evil_tech> deluge seems to be working fine for so far
[19:19] <Piratero> hello
[19:19] <evil_tech> hi
[19:49] <Piratero> i compiled the kernel and now the cpu usage is at 100% no matter what
[19:49] <Piratero> ha
[19:49] <Piratero> it boots up faster, but seems to run slower
[19:50] <zoredache> well you broke something... now you have to figure out what
[19:50] <Piratero> yep
[19:50] <zoredache> did you compile it the debian way?
[19:50] <Piratero> well, i'll just make some subtle changes here and there
[19:50] <zoredache> make-kpkg
[19:50] <Piratero> yeah
[19:51] <Piratero> i ran dpkg, etc
[19:51] <zoredache> did you stick with the source from the repository, or go from something new off kernel.org?
[19:52] <Piratero> i got 2.6.23 from kernel.org
[19:52] <Piratero> and copied the .config file from /boot
[19:52] <zoredache> I suspect if it was me, I would have used the same configuration file and made a kernel and tested before I made changes
[19:52] <zoredache> right now you don't know if your problem is the changes you made, or the new kernel
[19:53] <Piratero> yeah
[19:53] <Piratero> well, i'm recompiling the kernel now
[19:53] <zoredache> the latest kernel doesn't tend to be particuarly stable in my experience...
[19:54] <Piratero> yeah
[19:54] <Piratero> i should then just downgrade
[19:54] <Piratero> last time i've used linux (freebsd user for two years now)
[19:54] <Piratero> the kernel tar ball was only 18mb
[19:55] <Piratero> its crazy how it's 43 now
[19:55] <zoredache> I guess.  It doesn't suprise me though, it contains the drivers for almost everything under the sun
[19:56] <Piratero> yep
[20:01] <Ben_Cs> hello
[20:03] <evil_tech> hi
[20:04] <Ben_Cs> is it only me, or in xubuntu 7.10 after i insert the password into the feed, when the updater requests so, it takes lots of time for the comp to get back to the updater window? and when i open certain programs, i see for a split of a second snow on the window of the app? didn't have all this on prevous version of xubuntu
[20:04] <Ben_Cs> (lots of time = several seconds. way too much)
[20:05] <somerville32> :S
[20:08] <Ben_Cs> no one had such problems?
[20:08] <evil_tech> used to but it seems to have gone away
[20:10] <Ben_Cs> another wierd thing is that eclipse didn't work properly. it seemed as if it was installed without access permisions to needed locations. after i reinstalled xubuntu, this problem went away. seems xubuntu 7.10 is still buggy
[20:16] <Ben_Cs> with all that said, it's pitty because i like xfce the most of all desktops. kde comes close in my liking, but still xfce is no. 1 for me.
[20:19] <evil_tech> what is a good cd ripper for xubuntu?
[20:20] <zoredache> you want an iso or are you trying to extra audio files?
[20:20] <zoredache> if you are just looking to get an iso, then use dd
[20:21] <zoredache> dd if=/dev/scd0 of=new.iso
[20:21] <evil_tech> no just wanna copy my music to the hdd as .flac
[20:23] <zoredache> I don't rip my music on my linux box, so I can't help you... :|
[20:24] <evil_tech> think i'll just install a bunch from the repos and try em out
[20:25] <thegeeker> Ben_Cs: download the latest eclipse from eclipse.org and run it in your home dir. the version in the repos is broken
[20:29] <Ben_Cs> thegeeker: yeh i saw it's broken, did just that. but later on for some reason after re-installing xubuntu, it seems to work alright. still, make i can't figure out why built in make dont work.
[20:30] <thegeeker> they probably didn;t worry about it since the repo version is old and the one from eclipse.org works so well
[20:33] <Ben_Cs> ok
[20:33] <Ben_Cs> will check the one from their site again
[20:34] <Ben_Cs> BTW, how do i make my panel real cool? like glossy/with background picture, etc?
[20:36] <thegeeker> Ben_Cs, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3517612&postcount=396
[20:37] <thegeeker> !customize-panel is http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3517612&postcount=396
[20:37] <thegeeker> hm
[20:38] <Ben_Cs> but nothing like i seen in kde?
[20:39] <Ben_Cs> been thinking that best pannel designs came from xfce
[20:39] <thegeeker> I think you can do almost anything in GTK, but there are not a lot of built-in customizations. Tyhe point of xubuntu is to stay light and fast, not to run a bunch of eye-candy
[20:40] <thegeeker> !customize-panel
[20:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about customize-panel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:40]  * thegeeker grumbles
[20:40] <Ben_Cs> i see. but still eye candy should be easy to do, right?
[20:41] <thegeeker> I don't about easy, but it is possible
[20:41] <thegeeker> You can see some examples in that link that will give you an idea about how easy it is to customize
[20:43] <march> n8
[20:45] <Ben_Cs> what i like about xfce is the organization. kde handles things nicely in gui, but if u want to go editing files, it's harder to find your arms and legs there than in xfce. don't you agree? and xfce has a very nice gui aswell
[20:45] <thegeeker> !xubuntu-custom-panel is You can find a few tips about customizing your Xubuntu panels at the following link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3517612&postcount=396
[20:46] <thegeeker> stupid bot
[20:46] <vinze> Can we add our own entries?
[20:46] <vinze> !xubuntu-custom-panel
[20:46] <thegeeker> It keeps telling me it is not intelligent
[20:46]  * vinze sees
[20:46] <thegeeker> what good is an infobot you can;t add info to?
[20:46] <vinze> Ben_Cs, what I like about Xfce is its speed :)
[20:46] <vinze> thegeeker, well perhaps you can but we just don't know how to? :)
[20:47] <thegeeker> Ben_Cs, I like XFCE's lack of meaningless eye candy and fluff
[20:47] <vinze> thegeeker, and the ability to add it yourself if you *do* like that ;-)
[20:47] <thegeeker> vinze, I was following the instructions at the ubotu wiki page
[20:48] <Ben_Cs> thegeeker: yeh, kde has too much anymation indeed.
[20:48] <Ben_Cs> well, gotta go. thanks for the links.
[20:48] <Ben_Cs> see ya all
[20:48] <vinze> Bye
[20:48] <vinze> thegeeker, where's that page?

[21:42] <nicolah> just to try I flagged "save session" for the next login, after a reboot I lost all my settings. weird uh ? is there a way to recover them ?
[21:42] <nicolah> I cant' Understand what happened
[22:29] <thyrax> anyone have mediatomb or ushare installed on their system?
[22:29] <thyrax> I need a dlna server for ps3 and xbox360
[22:31] <thyrax> oh well off to experiment
[22:38] <march> Goodnight!
[22:42] <Piratero> the xbox 360 can run *nix?
[22:47] <thruxton> Piratero: yep
[22:47] <Piratero> nice
[22:47] <thruxton> Piratero: ive heard of people installing linux on a 360 and co-locating it :)
[22:47] <Piratero> are there any consequences?
[22:47] <Piratero> like they can no longer go on live?
[22:47] <thruxton> I'm not sure
[23:22] <foxray> hi all, i'm trying to upgrade my old hard drive to a bigger 320gb drive, any ideas? gparted?
[23:23] <foxray> oh its the xubuntu root drive
[23:25] <Piratero> wow
[23:25] <Piratero> i've been compiling the linux kernel since 11am
[23:25] <Piratero> it's 15:25
[23:27] <seisen> you have a very slow computer don't you Piratero
[23:28] <Piratero> i don't, my cousin does
[23:28] <Piratero> 700mhz
[23:28] <Piratero> i'm on freebsd, 2.7ghz
[23:28] <cGc> hey i'm installing xubuntu through VMware... do i select ubuntu under the OS menu, or Other Linux 2.6.x kernel?
[23:29] <cGc> i was under the impression that xubuntu is ubuntu, just toned down
[23:31] <cGc> also, what kernel version does the latest xubuntu use? i'm downloading it right now, so it will be the most recent
[23:31] <zoredache> cGc: it doesn't matter
[23:31] <zoredache> other linux or ubuntu both result in a identical vmware config
[23:32] <cGc> okay
[23:32] <cGc> you know if core2 duo and 2gb of ram will run that pretty well with vista hosting the xubuntu VM
[23:32] <zoredache> and the kernel on an up-to-date xubuntu 7.10 is 2.6.22-14-generic
[23:33] <zoredache> I didn't know that Vista could run anything well...  But that might good...
[23:34] <cGc> yeah you are right about that, i dual boot with ubuntu and vista and want to be able to have a quick access to linux when i'm running vista so i figured xubuntu would be a good candidate
[23:34] <cGc> (for the VM)
[23:35] <wers> on xfce, there's something different with gnome apps like rhythmbox and tomboy notes. the buttons on the top lost their descriptions
[23:35] <wers> also, in the case of tomboy notes, pressing alt+t does not go the the "text properties" menu anymore
[23:35] <wers> any ideas?
[23:37] <cGc> i'm not familiar with xfce, this will be my first time using it so i'm no help!
