[00:17] Is there a way to set the default action when I press the power button as Hibernate instead of Shutdown ? thanks [00:22] Thunar can't umount devices, it says they're busy even If they'r not. any idea ? [00:27] 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] but when I try to boot the installed Xubuntu the screen just goes blank [00:27] What can I do? [00:33] nicolah: it probably means the device is still busy. [00:33] hmm I think I fixed it [00:34] 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] ok, thanks [00:35] jay, I got it to work :) [00:36] 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] I guess I'll celebrate with more boose [00:41] 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? [00:44] nicolah: nope [00:44] thanks [00:45] 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 [00:47] 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 [00:48] zoredache: Thanks for the hint about the optical drive, it if stops again, I'll swap it out... [01:50] hi, i have troubles with my intel 915 graphic chipset and direct rendering, i already went through some threads on the ubuntuforums but cant figure out what seems to be the problem, any experience with something like that anyone? (trying to run compiz fusion) === XwarlokX84 is now known as XwarlokX82 [03:03] i was wondering why my hdd's wont mount.. my other hdds [03:03] would anyone know why [03:03] i was only running a live version [03:52] anyone active? [03:52] have an issue with the mixer... i cannot control the volume from my laptops volume control buttons... has anyone seen this issue and can anyone recommend a fix? [04:20] Is there a conventional way to pronounce xubuntu in English? [04:26] i pronounce it "zubuntu" not sure how others pronounce it [04:37] has anyone had problems getting sound out of slacker.com since recent updates? === XwarlokX82 is now known as X|Asleep [06:23] 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? [06:27] How to you adjust the balance in Xubuntu? [06:36] netlarlinux: I had to put a cinderblock on the back of my desk... [06:38] ha ha [06:38] I mean the volume balance between speakers [06:38] but very funny adamonline [06:39] 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 [06:40] 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... [06:41] I do not see a balance control there either, my machine is 10 years old too [06:41] is that it? [06:42] quick question how do you force quite an application [06:46] oh okay then [07:33] Is there an app in xfce that will enable me to browse my WinXP and remote Samba shares? [07:36] !pyNeighborhood [07:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about pyneighborhood - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:38] Hello, I have xubuntu installed on my laptop, and I had a terminal window and gtkpod running, and it saved the session. and I had turned it off, when I now restart, it always starts them. Any way to force it to stop? [10:55] I have this problem when unmounting an usb device in xubuntu 7.10 http://pastebin.ca/838423 [11:10] 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] The mouse as well as the keyboard are working on windows as well as KNOPPIX Live CD [11:16] anyone please? [11:20] 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 [11:21] why is udevd taking up 80% of my cpu ? [11:21] pleia2: can i somehow force the live cd into text based installation? [11:22] nanbudh: the livecd does not have the text installer [11:22] nanbudh: and probably want to grab the latest version too (edgy isn't supported anymore) [11:23] pleia2: hmm. but i just want a stable system which will work on my specs P III 530 MHz 192 MB RAM [11:24] nanbudh: I'm running the latest release on my P3 500mhz with 128M ram as we speak :) [11:24] really? howz the speed like? [11:24] I pretty much just use a terminal and firefox, it works fine for that [11:25] Ah! right. [11:25] is there any system which would be faster than xubuntu? [11:25] fluxbuntu is probably quite fast [11:25] anyone any idea on my udevd ? [11:25] hmm thanks i ll read up on that [12:53] Anyone have the contact for Nick Hatch (who made eeexubuntu)? [13:29] guys, any idea on this problem with the umount ? [13:29] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=653612 [14:03] hi all [14:08] hello! [14:09] I'm looking for a distribution I can install on daddys old pc [14:10] I want to know weather Xubuntu is the right one? [14:10] THe PC is a 533Mhz, 128MB Machine [14:11] xubuntu not bad, but fluxubuntu would run better on that system [14:11] fluxbuntu is better for those specs [14:11] never heared about that [14:12] fluxubuntu is like ubuntu - gnome + fluxbox [14:12] allright I see... [14:12] it's rather minimal, but you can't go further with those spec [14:13] thank you very much [14:13] give a try to puppy linux as well, in my opinion [14:13] my dad just wants to surf in the net and watch some pics he made with his cam [14:13] nothing more [14:14] uhm [14:14] puppy wouldn't be great though. [14:17] hey Does anyone know where is the conf file for xfce keyboard's shortcuts ?

[21:29] any one home [21:30] guess not...bummer [21:32] scothealer: what do you mean by 'printing fromt eh mousepad' [21:32] *from the [21:34] am here [21:34] go ahead... [21:34] read above [21:34] i have documents that are in "mouse pad" [21:35] ah [21:35] gotcha [21:35] yes [21:35] that seems to be the equal of wrod pad or notepad from windows... [21:35] brb...IM incoming... [21:35] have you got the printer setup in xubuntu [21:35] yes, mousepad is an notepad kind of thing [21:36] if the printer is setup, then just clicking the print option in the file menu should work [21:37] have tried that to no avail... [21:37] is the printer setup properly? [21:37] yes printer is set up in xubuntu designated as default [21:37] that I do not know for sure... [21:38] think I may freaked out Charitwo... [21:38] have you printed a test page yet? [21:38] have friend by same name in PA [21:38] hope she is not weirded out... [21:38] yes have dnoe so and that worked fine... [21:38] but still unable to print mousepad docds. [21:38] so hitting print in mosepad should work [21:38] brb...checking in wiht Charitwo [21:39] think she IS weirded out...no repsonse...oh well cannot fix.. [21:39] online interaction can be a bit weird... [21:39] when you hit print, it should open the dialog [21:39] it does not do that... [21:40] wiat let me try it now have recently added "packages" brb [21:40] check that everything looks ok in the dialog. make sure it is looking at the printer and not something like a ghostscript PDF output [21:41] client-error-bad-request [21:41] ok will do brb [21:42] now it says select where to print? [21:43] your printer should be listed there [21:43] it is [21:43] so select that [21:43] oh wait a second... [21:43] click ok, and it should work [21:44] there is not a printer listed on THAT message... [21:44] let me copy and paste that and see what happens...brb... [21:45] * Bonzodog doesn't uses xubuntu anymore; have switched to zenwalk linux, the slackware based xfce distro [21:46] nope stoill nothing and now cannot get the window back that wanted printer name... [21:46] ya know will let go for now and get back to later.. [21:46] i thank you for your help... [21:46] may i ask any other questions? [21:47] 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] got it [21:47] scothealer: by all means [21:47] ok have been using this version and overall am happy with it... [21:48] noticed an annoying sound that exsisted when I plyed music in windows now gone... [21:48] very happy with that! [21:48] probably the sound driver [21:48] i have always been VERY leary of IRC etc in windows due to horror stories abut breaches ... [21:49] does linus do away with that sort of thing? [21:49] I have been using IRC for 11 years now [21:49] any problems? [21:50] 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] I run without ssh access [21:50] and my firewall closed up [21:50] ok.. [21:50] so I reckon I am safe [21:50] was basically told linux not need firewall due to architecture [21:50] not just that, but I got cloaked [21:51] i have tested my system at www.grc.com [21:51] no, linux needs firewalls -- any computer with broadband access to the net does [21:51] not really [21:51] it doesn't need virus software, or spam software [21:51] a properly designed linux desktop distro doesn't need a firewall [21:51] using shields-up and i seem to always get a perfect stealth rating [21:51] hmmm.. [21:52] do i have the option of getting a firewall in the area [21:52] since it has no daemons listening to requests coming from the internet [21:52] shields-up? What is that? [21:52] shields-up is a website that looks for open ports on your machine, and does a ping test [21:52] applications>system>update manager ? [21:52] then tells you if it finds anything [21:52] hi, i want to connect to a printer that is hooked up to a windows xp machine in my network [21:53] oh thanks [21:53] Bonzodog, note: it checks for open/closed/violates network spesifications(firewalled) [21:53] yes, pretty much [21:53] should i choose windows printer via samba for this? [21:54] graabein: yes, i would think so [21:54] brb... [21:54] 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] back... [21:55] since DROP is something no spesification-compliant firewall should ever do. it should REJECT :) [21:55] oh there is my other question... [21:55] I have websites and want to edit them... [21:56] 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] so far have been unable to set that straight...any takers on that question? [21:57] graabein: I don't actually run xubuntu anymore, but I don't think so. It should be in the repos however [21:57] oh shoot... [21:58] Bonzodog, ok i'll look for it [21:58] i have been thinking I should just save what I have here and switch to "regular" ubuntu [21:58] * Bonzodog runs Zenwalk linux, the slack based xfce distro [21:58] well listen, i must go, i really appreciate your help ! [21:59] what does slack based xfce mean??? [21:59] Slackware based distro that has xfce as the desk [21:59] oic [21:59] ok [21:59] all right then...until we meet agin! [21:59] Happy Holidays to all!

[22:58] I've sent it to send a host-name "name"; and a client identifier MAC_ADDR but it still refuses to broadcast its hostname [22:58] it DOES show up with a DHCP client ID that is identical to its MAC adress [22:58] I'm a bit stumped [23:02] Hello? [23:10] Hello? [23:16] Howdy all! Fresh install of Xubuntu - originally installed restricted driver for BCM43xxx, worked great, reboot, get error [23:16] "The configuration could not be loaded. You are not allowed to access the system configuration" [23:17] Disabled the Restricted driver, reboot. Same error. How do I find out what it's trying to do, and allow my main user to "access the system configuration" as it so kindly says I'm not allowed to do? [23:28] if i use xfce and decide to install and run gdm, will that load a significant amount of libraries into ram or use a higher level of ram than say xdm or slim? [23:30] you dont actually "need" gdm but from my understanding xdm and slim are slightly smaller [23:30] thanks soldats [23:31] where are icons stored in the filesystem? [23:31] !icons [23:31] Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (Gnome) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE) [23:31] aww gay [23:31] hehe [23:31] i think /usr/share/icons or something [23:31] ok ill check it out [23:32] is there a way i can get myself unbanned from #ubuntu? [23:32] 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] k [23:33] hmm i just installed opera but can't find the icon in there [23:33] btw, opera is sooo much faster than firefox [23:33] mayeb go to #ubuntu-ops and ask [23:33] at least on my old hardware [23:33] yes it is [23:33] thanks again soldats [23:33] * soldats loves opera [23:33] no problem [23:34] atarinox, is it not in the menu [23:35] yeah it's there..im just trying to add a launcher to the panel [23:36] 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 [23:38] n8 [23:40] soldats: no youve gotta choose the launcher to add an app, then find the path for the app and hte icon [23:41] or choose a default icon [23:41] ahh yea i just read that lol [23:41] at the documentation [23:41] you could try /usr/share/applications [23:44] ah i found it...../usr/share/app-install/icons [23:49] rad [23:49] any other apps you know of which i should swap out...like opera for firefox [23:49] pidgin seems pretty nice...never used it before til gutsy [23:49] faster than gaim it seems [23:49] uhh the only ones i have are screenshot and opers and firefox [23:50] pidgin is gaim just a new name [23:50] oh ok [23:50] i have pidgin or finch running all the time [23:50] finch is ncurses pidgin for terminal [23:52] ill give it a whirl
