| jonnyboy27 | hi guys, any tips on where startup programs will be set? i've not got automatic session saving set yet when i log in, i get 4 instances of nm-applet (i installed for ease of connection to wifi) plus pidgin and firefox starting | 00:14 |
| jonnyboy27 | i tried in settings -> sessions and startup | 00:14 |
| jonnyboy27 | but no job | 00:14 |
| jonnyboy27 | joy* | 00:14 |
| jonnyboy27 | using xubuntu gutsy on a thinkpad T20 | 00:14 |
| jonnyboy27 | tia | 00:15 |
| zoredache | try doing a killall nm-applet | 00:18 |
| zoredache | and where you start the network manager use 'nm-applet --sm-disable' | 00:18 |

| magic_ninja | ImportError: No module named gdkpixbuf | 04:09 |
| groovesalad | i ran "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdd1 /disk2 -0 force" to copy files from a windows hd, i also added a line to fstab, i deleted the line now that im done, but now it logs out as soon as i log in. i forgot to umount it, and i no longer have the drive. what should i do? | 04:37 |
| newbxubuntu | I read that ubuntu can handle ntfs now...couldn't find that info for xubuntu...did it not make it to the Gutsy ? | 06:02 |
| newbxubuntu | I was reading the 'install from windows' wiki...but I would prefer to use xubuntu if possible. I see it's listed in the ntfs-3g project, but is it already in the desktop cd? | 06:15 |
| newbxubuntu | it must be past everyones bedtime | 06:17 |
| crimsun | yes, it is already in. | 06:17 |
| crimsun | it was moved into the installer as of gutsy. | 06:17 |
| newbxubuntu | great, thanks, 1 more thing, do I need a swap partition? | 06:18 |
| crimsun | if you have very little RAM, it's a good idea. | 06:18 |
| newbxubuntu | can it be ntfs too? | 06:19 |
| newbxubuntu | I was assuming I could still mount a folder as swap that exists on another drive... | 06:20 |
| crimsun | I don't know offhand if swapfiles are supported in the installer, only swap partitions. | 06:21 |
| newbxubuntu | I have an old drive I guess I'll use for the swap then... | 06:26 |
| atarinox | anybody know why my volume control buttons would stop working after upgrading to Gutsy? | 06:27 |
| atarinox | on a Thinkpad | 06:27 |
| crimsun | which thinkpad? | 06:27 |
| atarinox | T22 | 06:27 |
| crimsun | what's the SSID? | 06:27 |
| atarinox | erm...is that like the serial? | 06:28 |
| crimsun | lspci -nv|grep -a1 040[13] | 06:28 |
| atarinox | 00:05.0 0401: 1013:6003 (rev 01) | 06:29 |
| atarinox | any ideas? google came up w/ a few bug reports but nothing else...I checked and PCM is enabled | 06:34 |
| newbxubuntu | controlling by the volume control (once you add to the top bar) does not work either? | 06:36 |
| atarinox | newbxubuntu: no, that works. Just trying to get the buttons to work for convenience sake | 06:36 |
| newbxubuntu | I had to ask if you had picked the right device | 06:37 |
| bob2001 | I need help installing xubuntu on a decTOP. I am following the howto at http://jsco.org/dectop/ but am using xbuntu 7.10 insted of ubuntu 6.06. I have got as far s booting from my flasdrive and started the install. When I get to that part where you fool the installer into thinking the flashdrive is a cdrom, I can not get it to mount my flash drive. | 07:42 |
| bob2001 | using the command mount -t vfat /dev/sda /cdrom I get the error Mounting /dev/sda on /cdrom failed> No such device | 07:44 |
| Catoptromancy | bob2001, /dev/hda | 07:49 |
| Catoptromancy | err | 07:49 |
| bob2001 | hda gives the same error | 07:49 |
| Catoptromancy | maybe /dev/sda2 | 07:50 |
| Catoptromancy | I assume your at a command prompt | 07:50 |
| Catoptromancy | $lsusb | 07:50 |
| chris_does_plone | hi, anyone know about the HP Pavilion dv1000? - I downloaded Xubuntu but can't boot up - well I can but I get to a command prompt of types that I'm not used to... Thinking about downloading a different flavour of ubuntu unless some genius has can help this mac/pc muppet out :-S ;-D | 07:52 |
| bob2001 | I am at the command prompt but it is not a complete install, just the a virtual terminal so lsusb is not found | 07:52 |
| Catoptromancy | try /sbin/lsusb' | 07:53 |
| Catoptromancy | chris_does_plone, you login? | 07:53 |
| chris_does_plone | Catoptromacy: no i dont get as far as a login | 07:54 |
| bob2001 | nope lsusb in not in /sbin | 07:54 |
| chris_does_plone | Catoptromacy: sorry i forot the actual prompt it gave me | 07:54 |
| chris_does_plone | Catoptromancy: sorry misspelled your name :-/ | 07:55 |
| Catoptromancy | !usbboot | 07:56 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about usbboot - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 07:56 |
| chris_does_plone | Catoptromancy: can i put xubuntu on my usb drive and boot from it ?-) | 07:58 |
| Catoptromancy | http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=xubuntu+usb+drive+boot&btnG=Search | 08:00 |
| chris_does_plone | Catoptromancy: yeah i have read about it i remeber (it was a couple of weeks ago i last tried installing) but got lost on the setting up bios bit - maybe should try agan, thanks | 08:01 |
| bob2001 | Chris_done_plone, yes you can but you have to jump through a few hoops. I got ubuntu 606 to install off a flash drive but am having trouble getting Xubuntu to do it | 08:01 |
| Catoptromancy | cd is easier | 08:01 |
| chris_does_plone | Catoptromancy: as for cd i used magic disk or magic iso i forget, but it didnt seem sufficient, i dont have any real cds | 08:02 |
| chris_does_plone | bob2001: encouragingish :-) | 08:03 |
| chris_does_plone | http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/06/17/ubuntu-feisty-on-your-usb-drive-finally/ <--- looks promising :-) | 08:05 |
| bob2001 | is there anyway to find out "where" my flash drive is? ie: sda1 sda2 sda? I have booted from it and started the install from it, so there has to be a way | 08:11 |
| lwells | where is the power management in xubuntu | 08:32 |
| julien73 | hello | 09:41 |
| julien73 | anyone here? | 09:47 |
| predaeus | !ask | 09:58 |
| ubotu | Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 09:58 |
| julien73 | so... anyone here? | 09:59 |
| predaeus | no | 09:59 |
| predaeus | julien73, just ask your question | 10:00 |
| predaeus | if anybody knows the answer they will tell | 10:00 |
| julien73 | ok, thought everyone but you was afk or something | 10:02 |
| predaeus | julien73, it is general practice to just ask your question in IRC channels. If somebody knows the answer, they will tell it. | 10:02 |
| julien73 | I'm a quite in a deep doo right now, for some reason the top and bottom taskbars don't show up anymore | 10:03 |
| julien73 | ah, my general practice on IRC is to start with a polite "hello" to check if anyone is around, guess times change ;) | 10:04 |
| predaeus | julien73, you say hello and ask in one statement :-D | 10:04 |
| predaeus | does "ps -e" show a process called xfce4-panel? | 10:04 |
| predaeus | or does System->Process Manager show it? | 10:05 |
| predaeus | ah well bummer, sorry. | 10:06 |
| julien73 | can't access the Application menu anymore :) | 10:06 |
| predaeus | can you run commands on the command line interface? | 10:06 |
| predaeus | yea sorry, I've just realized that now | 10:06 |
| julien73 | alt F2? yes | 10:06 |
| predaeus | huh, I don't know I've remapped keys. | 10:07 |
| julien73 | that's how I launched firefox and pidgin | 10:07 |
| predaeus | try running xfce4-terminal with alt F2 | 10:07 |
| julien73 | oh neat... no wonder "terminal" wouldn't work ;) | 10:08 |
| predaeus | if you have the terminal open. Enter "ps -e" (without the "s) and hit enter | 10:08 |
| predaeus | you should get a list of running processes, if the output does not fit into the terminal window you can scroll with the Shift+PageUp or Shift+PageDown keys. | 10:09 |
| julien73 | done, let me see | 10:09 |
| predaeus | does it list an entry called xfce4-panel? | 10:09 |
| julien73 | indeed, it's not there | 10:09 |
| predaeus | hm try starting it by entering xfce4-panel and hitting enter. | 10:10 |
| predaeus | if there is an error condition, it should show the output and reason in the terminal window. | 10:10 |
| julien73 | hooray! | 10:10 |
| predaeus | so the panels appear correctly? | 10:11 |
| julien73 | now to know why it stopped working all of a sudden | 10:11 |
| julien73 | yep yep, big thanks to you | 10:11 |
| predaeus | yes, and you will need to find a way to make it permanent | 10:11 |
| predaeus | so it starts on reboot. | 10:11 |
| predaeus | hm I don't know the official way to fix that, but you can just add xfce4-panel to your startup applications | 10:11 |
| predaeus | Settings->Autostarted Applications | 10:12 |
| julien73 | hmmm there is a thread here mentioning .xinit, do you know where that file is located? | 10:13 |
| julien73 | dang I should install catfish | 10:13 |
| predaeus | I think /etc/X11/xinit is meant. | 10:13 |
| predaeus | probably with .xinit they would mean a user local config file. Usually user specific config files go into your home directory with a leading dot '.' so it is a hidden file. | 10:14 |
| predaeus | .xinit would be a hidden file. | 10:14 |
| predaeus | also look through bug reports on launchpad to see if this problem is mentioned there. | 10:15 |
| predaeus | I'll catch some food, so I'll be afk for a few. | 10:16 |
| julien73 | alright, going to dig some more in the meantime, thank again | 10:16 |
| julien73 | hi again, apparently xfce4-session fails to start, any idea where I should start? | 10:59 |
| predaeus | julien73, hm nah sorry no idea. Probably ask in #xfce too they seem to have waked up. Tell them what you know already. | 11:13 |
| julien73 | predaeus: ok thanks I will | 11:14 |
| graabein | hi, i wonder how come i get two icons on desktop for the ipod when i insert it on usb? | 12:33 |
| iCEifer | can anyone suggest a good gnome MP3/CD player? | 12:34 |

| iCEifer | do I have to install metacity or something like that first? | 13:22 |
| iCEifer | can anyone help me install a GTK2 theme under xubuntu? I already have the tar.gz for the theme but do I need to install metacity or something to install and use it? | 13:42 |

| Nuffe | hey guys, anyone that could explain one thing for me... my NIC and WLAN doesn't work... I can connect with my wireless card but after EXACTLY 10 minutes the router dies, even though I am connected to the router, I can't access the Internet | 19:15 |
| Nuffe | Intel PRO/Wireless 4965 AGN | 19:15 |
| avuton | How can I change the settings of power button press to hibernate? | 19:15 |
| Nuffe | my ICMP-packets arrive to the router but I can't send em to any other computer on the network, plus I can't administer the router from my browser... only send ping-packets | 19:17 |
| avuton | Nevermind, I just removed /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh and symlinked /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh to it. | 19:25 |
| The-Kernel | Nuffe: start you card up in verbose mode, and watch to see what errors it gets | 19:25 |
| Nuffe | The-Kernel: how do I do that ? :) | 19:37 |
| Nuffe | ifconfig wlan0 up --verbose? | 19:38 |
| Nuffe | wild guess =D | 19:38 |
| Nuffe | sudo ifdown -v wlan0 | 19:40 |
| Nuffe | sudo ifup -v wlan0 | 19:40 |
| Nuffe | I will test it :) | 19:40 |
| Nuffe | when I run ifdown I get "ifdown: interface wlan0 not configured" | 19:43 |
| Nuffe | I'm sure that wlan0 is my interface | 19:43 |
| lwells | I am trying to use a mac keyboard but ubuntu keeps defualting to "Use X configuration | 19:47 |
| lwells | Is there something else I need to do for it to take? | 19:47 |
| The-Kernel | Nuffe: pastebin ifconfig | 19:53 |
| Nuffe | what? | 19:58 |
| Nuffe | explain =D | 19:59 |
| The-Kernel | actually, I have to go. | 20:00 |
| Nuffe | :( | 20:00 |
| The-Kernel | ping TheSheep, Pumpernickel, or zoredache | 20:00 |
| The-Kernel | bye | 20:00 |
| lwells | Is there any way to use a mac keyboard with xubuntu? | 20:03 |
| Nuffe | Is there any way that xUbuntu could send a DDOS-attack on my router when it's only trying to connect? | 20:07 |
| nanonyme | nopes | 20:10 |
| nanonyme | DDoS is a distributed denial of service. it is impossible to do using one computer | 20:10 |
| Nuffe | yeah.... but since my router blocks ALL packets from all the computers on the network.. what other explaination could there be? | 20:13 |
| Nuffe | I have to cut the power to the router and put it back on | 20:13 |
| Nuffe | Linksys WRT54G | 20:13 |
| Nuffe | or something | 20:13 |
| nanonyme | note: my point was that you don't mean DDoS. you mean DoS | 20:13 |
| nanonyme | and it would be quite improbable | 20:14 |
| Nuffe | yeah I get your point | 20:16 |
| nanonyme | why is your router blocking all packets from all the computers on the network? | 20:17 |
| Nuffe | but I don't get the thing that it could crash my router by connecting to it? | 20:17 |
| Nuffe | I don't know | 20:17 |
| Nuffe | it does it exactly after 10 minutes when ,y xubuntu laptop has connected | 20:17 |
| nanonyme | wifi or ethernet? | 20:18 |
| Nuffe | wifi = sure that it crashes ethernet = get a IP from DHCP but can't get to any websites | 20:19 |
| Nuffe | I have VMWare installed... could this have something to do with it? since eth0 is bridged with VMWare's NIC | 20:19 |
| nanonyme | *shrug* | 20:20 |
| Nuffe | *sadface* | 20:20 |
| nanonyme | i suppose it's possible if they share the same MAC address | 20:20 |
| nanonyme | some cheap sucky router maybe couldn't handle that | 20:21 |
| Nuffe | yeah, but I have the same setup in WinXP | 20:21 |
| Nuffe | here's something for u, I can use the WiFi through Ubuntu Live-CD without any problems :s | 20:22 |
| nanonyme | which router is it anyway? | 20:22 |
| Nuffe | Linksys WRT54G | 20:22 |
| Nuffe | I mean, it's not that crappy | 20:22 |
| nanonyme | sounds very fishy then, it should handle normal connectivity fine | 20:22 |
| nanonyme | or hmm, at least revisions lower than 5 could. can't vouch for the rest as they're not Linux | 20:23 |
| Nuffe | yeah... | 20:23 |
| Nuffe | but since I only had ubuntu installed for a few days I could always install it again and hope it doesn't happend again | 20:24 |
| Nuffe | any last words to my harddrive? ;) | 20:28 |
