| nicolah | Is there a way to set the default action when I press the power button as Hibernate instead of Shutdown ? thanks | 00:17 |
|---|---|---|
| nicolah | Thunar can't umount devices, it says they're busy even If they'r not. any idea ? | 00:22 |
| Patos | I just installed Xubuntu 7.10 on my iBook G4 ... the problem is that I can't boot after this, I can boot into the livecd without a problem (using live-nosplash-powerpc) as an alternative | 00:27 |
| Patos | but when I try to boot the installed Xubuntu the screen just goes blank | 00:27 |
| Patos | What can I do? | 00:27 |
| zoredache | nicolah: it probably means the device is still busy. | 00:33 |
| Patos | hmm I think I fixed it | 00:33 |
| zoredache | you can use the lsof command to find out what is actually is going on. so soemthing like sudo lsof | grep /media/MyBook | 00:34 |
| nicolah | ok, thanks | 00:34 |
| Patos | jay, I got it to work :) | 00:35 |
| nicolah | zoredache: do you know if I can change the default power button action ? I'd like to set it to "hibernate" instead of "shutdown" | 00:36 |
| Patos | I guess I'll celebrate with more boose | 00:36 |
| adamonline46 | I'm installing 7.10 with the alternate install CD on a Pentium 2 466 w/ 128MB RAM. It seems to be hanging at 85% 'selecting and installing' packages. Should I shut 'er down and try again? | 00:41 |
| zoredache | nicolah: nope | 00:44 |
| nicolah | thanks | 00:44 |
| zoredache | adamonline46: did you try a md5 scan on your cd? if it gets that far a failed cd, or a bad optical drive tends to be the most frequent problem | 00:45 |
| adamonline46 | zoredache: I did the CD's 'check for defect' option, it came out okay. I just ask because it seemed to take forever to get past Downloading and Installing the Kernel, and it's doing the same thing on the above-mentioned step... Except for the progressing past it part 8) I restarted it... Hopefully it works this time... Do you have any idea about how long the isntall should take on such a machine? I think it was over an hour to ge | 00:47 |
| adamonline46 | zoredache: Thanks for the hint about the optical drive, it if stops again, I'll swap it out... | 00:48 |

| jackal_ | Howdy, I had a quick question. In xubuntu, when you right click on the desktop, you get a nifty little menu that treats the desktop like it would any other folder. How do I add this feature to a fresh install of xfce4? | 06:23 |
| netlarlinux | How to you adjust the balance in Xubuntu? | 06:27 |
| adamonline46 | netlarlinux: I had to put a cinderblock on the back of my desk... | 06:36 |
| netlarlinux | ha ha | 06:38 |
| netlarlinux | I mean the volume balance between speakers | 06:38 |
| netlarlinux | but very funny adamonline | 06:38 |
| adamonline46 | netlarlinux: Sorry, I was looking for the answer while I let you stew on that 8) The closest thing I could find was Applications->settings->Mixer Settings | 06:39 |
| adamonline46 | netlarlinux: Unfortunately, I don't have a balance control there. Probably because I'm using a 10-year-old computer; I don't even know if it has a sound card... | 06:40 |
| netlarlinux | I do not see a balance control there either, my machine is 10 years old too | 06:41 |
| netlarlinux | is that it? | 06:41 |
| netlarlinux | quick question how do you force quite an application | 06:42 |

| nanbudh | hi! i am trying to install xubuntu edgy eft(using desktop Live CD) on a machine with PIII, 530 MHz, (128+64) MB RAM. No extra graphics card or any thing. When the desktop loads neither the mouse nor the keyboard works and so i cannot install anything. Any suggestions please? | 11:10 |
| nanbudh | The mouse as well as the keyboard are working on windows as well as KNOPPIX Live CD | 11:10 |
| nanbudh | anyone please? | 11:16 |
| pleia2 | nanbudh: try using the alternate CD rather than the LiveCD, it's a text based installer that works better on slower machines with less RAM | 11:20 |
| methods | why is udevd taking up 80% of my cpu ? | 11:21 |
| nanbudh | pleia2: can i somehow force the live cd into text based installation? | 11:21 |
| pleia2 | nanbudh: the livecd does not have the text installer | 11:22 |
| pleia2 | nanbudh: and probably want to grab the latest version too (edgy isn't supported anymore) | 11:22 |
| nanbudh | pleia2: hmm. but i just want a stable system which will work on my specs P III 530 MHz 192 MB RAM | 11:23 |
| pleia2 | nanbudh: I'm running the latest release on my P3 500mhz with 128M ram as we speak :) | 11:24 |
| nanbudh | really? howz the speed like? | 11:24 |
| pleia2 | I pretty much just use a terminal and firefox, it works fine for that | 11:24 |
| nanbudh | Ah! right. | 11:25 |
| nanbudh | is there any system which would be faster than xubuntu? | 11:25 |
| nanonyme | fluxbuntu is probably quite fast | 11:25 |

| muesli_of_death | I'm looking for a distribution I can install on daddys old pc | 14:09 |
| muesli_of_death | I want to know weather Xubuntu is the right one? | 14:10 |
| muesli_of_death | THe PC is a 533Mhz, 128MB Machine | 14:10 |
| nicolah | xubuntu not bad, but fluxubuntu would run better on that system | 14:11 |
| seisen | fluxbuntu is better for those specs | 14:11 |
| muesli_of_death | never heared about that | 14:11 |
| nicolah | fluxubuntu is like ubuntu - gnome + fluxbox | 14:12 |
| muesli_of_death | allright I see... | 14:12 |
| nicolah | it's rather minimal, but you can't go further with those spec | 14:12 |
| muesli_of_death | thank you very much | 14:13 |
| nicolah | give a try to puppy linux as well, in my opinion | 14:13 |

| Bonzodog | scothealer: what do you mean by 'printing fromt eh mousepad' | 21:32 |
| Bonzodog | *from the | 21:32 |
| scothealer | am here | 21:34 |
| scothealer | go ahead... | 21:34 |
| Bonzodog | read above | 21:34 |
| scothealer | i have documents that are in "mouse pad" | 21:34 |
| Bonzodog | ah | 21:35 |
| Bonzodog | gotcha | 21:35 |
| Bonzodog | yes | 21:35 |
| scothealer | that seems to be the equal of wrod pad or notepad from windows... | 21:35 |
| scothealer | brb...IM incoming... | 21:35 |
| Bonzodog | have you got the printer setup in xubuntu | 21:35 |
| Bonzodog | yes, mousepad is an notepad kind of thing | 21:35 |
| Bonzodog | if the printer is setup, then just clicking the print option in the file menu should work | 21:36 |
| scothealer | have tried that to no avail... | 21:37 |
| Bonzodog | is the printer setup properly? | 21:37 |
| scothealer | yes printer is set up in xubuntu designated as default | 21:37 |
| scothealer | that I do not know for sure... | 21:37 |
| scothealer | think I may freaked out Charitwo... | 21:38 |
| Bonzodog | have you printed a test page yet? | 21:38 |
| scothealer | have friend by same name in PA | 21:38 |
| scothealer | hope she is not weirded out... | 21:38 |
| scothealer | yes have dnoe so and that worked fine... | 21:38 |
| scothealer | but still unable to print mousepad docds. | 21:38 |
| Bonzodog | so hitting print in mosepad should work | 21:38 |
| scothealer | brb...checking in wiht Charitwo | 21:38 |
| scothealer | think she IS weirded out...no repsonse...oh well cannot fix.. | 21:39 |
| scothealer | online interaction can be a bit weird... | 21:39 |
| Bonzodog | when you hit print, it should open the dialog | 21:39 |
| scothealer | it does not do that... | 21:39 |
| scothealer | wiat let me try it now have recently added "packages" brb | 21:40 |
| Bonzodog | check that everything looks ok in the dialog. make sure it is looking at the printer and not something like a ghostscript PDF output | 21:40 |
| scothealer | client-error-bad-request | 21:41 |
| scothealer | ok will do brb | 21:41 |
| scothealer | now it says select where to print? | 21:42 |
| Bonzodog | your printer should be listed there | 21:43 |
| scothealer | it is | 21:43 |
| Bonzodog | so select that | 21:43 |
| scothealer | oh wait a second... | 21:43 |
| Bonzodog | click ok, and it should work | 21:43 |
| scothealer | there is not a printer listed on THAT message... | 21:44 |
| scothealer | let me copy and paste that and see what happens...brb... | 21:44 |
| * Bonzodog doesn't uses xubuntu anymore; have switched to zenwalk linux, the slackware based xfce distro | 21:45 | |
| scothealer | nope stoill nothing and now cannot get the window back that wanted printer name... | 21:46 |
| scothealer | ya know will let go for now and get back to later.. | 21:46 |
| scothealer | i thank you for your help... | 21:46 |
| scothealer | may i ask any other questions? | 21:46 |
| Bonzodog | hrm...not sure whats happening then. It's always difficult to diagnose things like this unless I can see whats going on myself | 21:47 |
| scothealer | got it | 21:47 |
| Bonzodog | scothealer: by all means | 21:47 |
| scothealer | ok have been using this version and overall am happy with it... | 21:47 |
| scothealer | noticed an annoying sound that exsisted when I plyed music in windows now gone... | 21:48 |
| scothealer | very happy with that! | 21:48 |
| Bonzodog | probably the sound driver | 21:48 |
| scothealer | i have always been VERY leary of IRC etc in windows due to horror stories abut breaches ... | 21:48 |
| scothealer | does linus do away with that sort of thing? | 21:49 |
| Bonzodog | I have been using IRC for 11 years now | 21:49 |
| scothealer | any problems? | 21:49 |
| Bonzodog | none that I have seen, but it's not unheard of for people to try to access your computer using the IP address given out by your machine when you log in | 21:50 |
| Bonzodog | I run without ssh access | 21:50 |
| Bonzodog | and my firewall closed up | 21:50 |
| scothealer | ok.. | 21:50 |
| Bonzodog | so I reckon I am safe | 21:50 |
| scothealer | was basically told linux not need firewall due to architecture | 21:50 |
| Bonzodog | not just that, but I got cloaked | 21:50 |
| scothealer | i have tested my system at www.grc.com | 21:51 |
| Bonzodog | no, linux needs firewalls -- any computer with broadband access to the net does | 21:51 |
| nanonyme | not really | 21:51 |
| Bonzodog | it doesn't need virus software, or spam software | 21:51 |
| nanonyme | a properly designed linux desktop distro doesn't need a firewall | 21:51 |
| scothealer | using shields-up and i seem to always get a perfect stealth rating | 21:51 |
| scothealer | hmmm.. | 21:51 |
| scothealer | do i have the option of getting a firewall in the area | 21:52 |
| nanonyme | since it has no daemons listening to requests coming from the internet | 21:52 |
| nikolam | shields-up? What is that? | 21:52 |
| Bonzodog | shields-up is a website that looks for open ports on your machine, and does a ping test | 21:52 |
| scothealer | applications>system>update manager ? | 21:52 |
| Bonzodog | then tells you if it finds anything | 21:52 |
| graabein | hi, i want to connect to a printer that is hooked up to a windows xp machine in my network | 21:52 |
| nikolam | oh thanks | 21:53 |
| nanonyme | Bonzodog, note: it checks for open/closed/violates network spesifications(firewalled) | 21:53 |
| Bonzodog | yes, pretty much | 21:53 |
| graabein | should i choose windows printer via samba for this? | 21:53 |
| Bonzodog | graabein: yes, i would think so | 21:54 |
| scothealer | brb... | 21:54 |
| graabein | Bonzodog, is samba installed by default on xubuntu 7.10? do i need to do anything on the xp machine except share the printer on the network? | 21:54 |
| scothealer | back... | 21:54 |
| nanonyme | since DROP is something no spesification-compliant firewall should ever do. it should REJECT :) | 21:55 |
| scothealer | oh there is my other question... | 21:55 |
| scothealer | I have websites and want to edit them... | 21:55 |
| scothealer | keep getting message that I need to use some sort of "notepad" like interface mousepad is what i think it is called in linux | 21:56 |
| scothealer | so far have been unable to set that straight...any takers on that question? | 21:56 |
| Bonzodog | graabein: I don't actually run xubuntu anymore, but I don't think so. It should be in the repos however | 21:57 |
| scothealer | oh shoot... | 21:57 |
| graabein | Bonzodog, ok i'll look for it | 21:58 |
| scothealer | i have been thinking I should just save what I have here and switch to "regular" ubuntu | 21:58 |

| soldats | aww gay | 23:31 |
| atarinox | hehe | 23:31 |
| soldats | i think /usr/share/icons or something | 23:31 |
| atarinox | ok ill check it out | 23:31 |
| linux_stu | is there a way i can get myself unbanned from #ubuntu? | 23:32 |
| soldats | linux_stu, when i removed gdm i boot a little faster and i just feel like my box is faster which it may not really 'be' faster but whatever | 23:32 |
| linux_stu | k | 23:32 |
| atarinox | hmm i just installed opera but can't find the icon in there | 23:33 |
| atarinox | btw, opera is sooo much faster than firefox | 23:33 |
| soldats | mayeb go to #ubuntu-ops and ask | 23:33 |
| atarinox | at least on my old hardware | 23:33 |
| soldats | yes it is | 23:33 |
| linux_stu | thanks again soldats | 23:33 |

| atarinox | yeah it's there..im just trying to add a launcher to the panel | 23:35 |
| soldats | atarinox, well when you rclick the panel and go to add item is it not there. if not i havent had time to figure out how to add items not on the list yet | 23:36 |
| march | n8 | 23:38 |
| atarinox | soldats: no youve gotta choose the launcher to add an app, then find the path for the app and hte icon | 23:40 |
| atarinox | or choose a default icon | 23:41 |
| soldats | ahh yea i just read that lol | 23:41 |
| soldats | at the documentation | 23:41 |
| soldats | you could try /usr/share/applications | 23:41 |
| atarinox | ah i found it...../usr/share/app-install/icons | 23:44 |
| soldats | rad | 23:49 |
| atarinox | any other apps you know of which i should swap out...like opera for firefox | 23:49 |
| atarinox | pidgin seems pretty nice...never used it before til gutsy | 23:49 |
| atarinox | faster than gaim it seems | 23:49 |
| soldats | uhh the only ones i have are screenshot and opers and firefox | 23:49 |
| soldats | pidgin is gaim just a new name | 23:50 |
| atarinox | oh ok | 23:50 |
| soldats | i have pidgin or finch running all the time | 23:50 |
