[00:17] <nicolah> Is there a way to set the default action when I press the power button as Hibernate instead of Shutdown ? thanks
[00:22] <nicolah> Thunar can't umount devices, it says they're busy even If they'r not. any idea ?
[00:27] <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?
[00:33] <zoredache> nicolah: it probably means the device is still busy.
[00:33] <Patos> hmm I think I fixed it
[00:34] <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
[00:35] <Patos> jay, I got it to work :)
[00:36] <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
[00:41] <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?
[00:44] <zoredache> nicolah: nope
[00:44] <nicolah> thanks
[00:45] <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
[00:47] <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
[00:48] <adamonline46> zoredache: Thanks for the hint about the optical drive, it if stops again, I'll swap it out...
[01:50] <ochosi> 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)
[03:03] <magoo28m1979> i was wondering why my hdd's wont mount.. my other hdds
[03:03] <magoo28m1979> would anyone know why
[03:03] <magoo28m1979> i was only running a live version
[03:52] <radioaktivstorm> anyone active?
[03:52] <radioaktivstorm>  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] <adamonline46> Is there a conventional way to pronounce xubuntu in English?
[04:26] <radioaktivstorm> i pronounce it "zubuntu" not sure how others pronounce it
[04:37] <mikubuntu> has anyone had problems getting sound out of slacker.com since recent updates?
[06:23] <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?
[06:27] <netlarlinux> How to you adjust the balance in Xubuntu?
[06:36] <adamonline46> netlarlinux: I had to put a cinderblock on the back of my desk...
[06:38] <netlarlinux> ha ha
[06:38] <netlarlinux> I mean the volume balance between speakers
[06:38] <netlarlinux> but very funny adamonline
[06:39] <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
[06:40] <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...
[06:41] <netlarlinux> I do not see a balance control there either, my machine is 10 years old too
[06:41] <netlarlinux> is that it?
[06:42] <netlarlinux> quick question how do you force quite an application
[06:46] <adamonline46> oh okay then
[07:33] <adamonline46> Is there an app in xfce that will enable me to browse my WinXP and remote Samba shares?
[07:36] <adamonline46> !pyNeighborhood
[07:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pyneighborhood - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:38] <Sonicadvance1> 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] <nicolah> I have this problem when unmounting an usb device in xubuntu 7.10 http://pastebin.ca/838423
[11:10] <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
[11:16] <nanbudh> anyone please?
[11:20] <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
[11:21] <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?
[11:22] <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)
[11:23] <nanbudh> pleia2: hmm. but i just want a stable system which will work on my specs P III 530 MHz 192 MB RAM
[11:24] <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
[11:25] <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] <methods> anyone any idea on my udevd ?
[11:25] <nanbudh> hmm thanks i ll read up on that
[12:53] <emacsen> Anyone have the contact for Nick Hatch (who made eeexubuntu)?
[13:29] <nicolah> guys, any idea on this problem with the umount ?

[14:08] <muesli_of_death> hello!
[14:09] <muesli_of_death> I'm looking for a distribution I can install on daddys old pc
[14:10] <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
[14:11] <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
[14:12] <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
[14:13] <muesli_of_death> thank you very much
[14:13] <nicolah> give a try to puppy linux as well, in my opinion
[14:13] <muesli_of_death> my dad just wants to surf in the net and watch some pics he made with his cam
[14:13] <muesli_of_death> nothing more
[14:14] <nicolah> uhm
[14:14] <nicolah> puppy wouldn't be great though.

[21:29] <scothealer> hello?
[21:29] <scothealer> any one home
[21:30] <scothealer> guess not...bummer
[21:32] <Bonzodog> scothealer: what do you mean by 'printing fromt eh mousepad'
[21:32] <Bonzodog> *from the
[21:34] <scothealer> am here
[21:34] <scothealer> go ahead...
[21:34] <Bonzodog> read above
[21:34] <scothealer> i have documents that are in "mouse pad"
[21:35] <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
[21:36] <Bonzodog> if the printer is setup, then just clicking the print option in the file menu should work
[21:37] <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...
[21:38] <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
[21:39] <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...
[21:40] <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
[21:41] <scothealer> client-error-bad-request
[21:41] <scothealer> ok will do brb
[21:42] <scothealer> now it says select where to print?
[21:43] <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
[21:44] <scothealer> there is not a printer listed on THAT message...
[21:44] <scothealer> let me copy and paste that and see what happens...brb...
[21:45]  * Bonzodog doesn't uses xubuntu anymore; have switched to zenwalk linux, the slackware based xfce distro
[21:46] <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?
[21:47] <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...
[21:48] <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 ...
[21:49] <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?
[21:50] <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
[21:51] <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..
[21:52] <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
[21:53] <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?
[21:54] <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...
[21:55] <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...
[21:56] <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?
[21:57] <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...
[21:58] <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]  * Bonzodog runs Zenwalk linux, the slack based xfce distro
[21:58] <scothealer> well listen, i must go, i really appreciate your help !
[21:59] <scothealer> what does slack based xfce mean???
[21:59] <Bonzodog> Slackware based distro that has xfce as the desk
[21:59] <scothealer> oic
[21:59] <scothealer> ok
[21:59] <scothealer> all right then...until we  meet agin!
[21:59] <scothealer> Happy Holidays to all!
[21:59] <Bonzodog> also, i have to go

[22:58] <liquidengineer> it DOES show up with a DHCP client ID that is identical to its MAC adress

[23:16] <vwfanatic> "The configuration could not be loaded. You are not allowed to access the system configuration"
[23:17] <vwfanatic> 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] <linux_stu> 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] <soldats> you dont actually "need" gdm but from my understanding xdm and slim are slightly smaller
[23:30] <linux_stu> thanks soldats
[23:31] <atarinox> where are icons stored in the filesystem?
[23:31] <soldats> !icons
[23:31] <ubotu> 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] <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
[23:32] <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
[23:33] <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]  * soldats loves opera
[23:33] <soldats> no problem
[23:34] <soldats> atarinox, is it not in the menu
[23:35] <atarinox> yeah it's there..im just trying to add a launcher to the panel
[23:36] <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
[23:38] <march> n8
[23:40] <atarinox> soldats: no youve gotta choose the launcher to add an app, then find the path for the app and hte icon
[23:41] <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
[23:44] <atarinox> ah i found it...../usr/share/app-install/icons
[23:49] <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
[23:50] <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] <soldats> finch is ncurses pidgin for terminal
[23:52] <atarinox> ill give it a whirl
