grahamperrinAnyone using eeeXubuntu on Eee PC and if so, can you tell whether fish:// works as expected in the address bar of file manager?03:53

BlinkizGetting sick of cdrecord. It's not really "auto" this thing. Now when all data have been burned to the cd, cdrecord fails exactly when it says 633 of 633 mb burned. It's like cdrecord is not detecting the end of the iso file. See log here: http://pastebin.com/d52d1771605:12
nugz1212hey05:40
nugz1212hold on brb05:40
nugz1212okay06:00
nugz1212so im trying to get compizfusion to work06:00
nugz1212i have xubuntu 7.1006:01
nugz1212i used restricted drivers manager to install drivers for my ati radeon x130006:01
nugz1212its running sluggishly and compiz wont start06:01
nugz1212can anyone help me?06:02
nugz1212should i try the driver from the ati website?06:03
nugz1212wow is there anyone talking?06:04
Blinkiznugz1212: xubuntu is not really adopted to run compiz. It's made for light usage. Yes, compiz will work with xubuntu but it will be easier to get it to work with ubuntu or kubuntu. Say, why do you want to run compiz with xubuntu?06:07
jhonwhen i tried to run xfce-terminal ,the xfce-desktop7.10 will restart itself to logo windows ,why  ?06:20
NullNameAnyone know if I format my external drive to ext3, is there any way to read AND write to the drive from a windows box?06:58
grahamperrinNullName: AFAIK no way. But as you may know, there's NTFS-3G to read and write NTFS format volumes on Linux07:02
NullNamegrahamperrin:  So should I just format the drive to NTFS?  I'm in the middle of formating to EXT3 using gparted, and it's taking forever (500G drive)...I probably should wait for this to finish and then format to NTFS using gparted?07:13
grahamperrinNullName: I never consciously used gparted07:13
* grahamperrin is Mac-oriented07:14
NullNameIs there a better way to format?  How long does it take to format to ext3 if it's a 500gb external USB drive?07:14
* grahamperrin was very pleasantly surprised to find that eeeXubuntu (overtly optimised for Eee PC) live CD recognised Apple Bluetooth Mighty Mouse (including right-click), Bluetooth keyboard, and on-board brightness and keyboard backlight keys on his MacBook Pro07:22
* grahamperrin was even more surprised to discover support for HFS+ (Mac OS X Extended Format) volumes07:22
NullNamewhat is eeexubuntu?07:24
NullNameI use xubuntu 7.10 and love it...by far my favorite of ubuntu distros07:25
NullNameI've been wanting to get a MAC really badly and install xubuntu07:27

houdiniI'm having a strange problem, and I hope someone can help me with it08:34
houdiniI just installed Xubuntu 7.10 on my PC08:34
houdiniwhich previously had Gentoo on it, running fine08:34
houdinianyway, installed fine and came up as expected08:34
houdiniI turned on the restricted Nvidia driver for my GeForce 7600 GT and rebooted08:35
houdinigot the low resolution warning08:35
houdiniit seems to be using the vesa driver instead of the nvidia driver.  I tried configuring it and hitting "test" on the nvidia driver, and it locks the machine up08:35
houdiniwhat can I try to figure out what's wrong here?08:36
houdini640x480 isn't really what I had in mind :)08:36
grahamperrinzoredache or anyone: I wondered whether Thunar could 'go to' fish or sftp. Discovered that it can't.08:51
grahamperrin1) If I'm to install an alternative or complementary file manager for eeeXubuntu on an Eee PC, which one would people recommend? Bearing in mind, space constraints. (I'm fairly new to Linux)08:52
grahamperrin2) I can use sshfs to achieve what I want. Does anyone know of a GUI that eases use of sshfs? (It's for a colleague, I don't really want to send them to the command line)08:53
grahamperrinTIA08:53
zoredachegrahamperrin: their are ways, if you setup key authentication for ssh09:34
zoredacheusing something like this... http://afuse.sourceforge.net/09:34
Jay-Oh-Encan i see a screenshot of somebodies xubuntu09:34
zoredachewhy?09:35
Jay-Oh-Ento see if you can make it look nice09:37
zoredacheeh?  I basically have a stock desktop... I don't do anything fancy09:38
Jay-Oh-Enzoredache: ok09:38
zoredacheif you wnat to know what the stock look is goto http://www.xubuntu.org/tour09:39
zoredachethere are some more diverse screenshots on the xfce site that should give you an idea of what is possible though09:40
Jay-Oh-Enit looks nice09:41
Jay-Oh-Enbut it looks like gnome i thought xfce was a whole new thing09:41
zoredacheit is based on gtk the same as gnome...09:44
grahamperrinzoredache: thanks, Afuse seems very appropriate09:45
zoredachexfce it isn't what I would call a 'new' thing it has been around for over 10 years09:45
Jay-Oh-Enzoredache: well i know not "new" but its pretty new to me but i thought it would be like something like gnome/kde/xfce09:54
Jay-Oh-Enbut gnome and xfce are pretty much in same category09:54

RandyboYI have a brand new server machine from Dell with a integrated screen/videocard. I have installed VLC but it wil not play. Oh, my screen is my 37" lcd flat tv. Anyone knows why it will not play my films?13:07
Juerd_Since an upgrade I'm getting nautilus instead of thunar. The desktop is gnome too. It's slow :(13:17
damien_Juerd_, i have a similar problem14:09
damien_go Application-> Settings -> Settings Manager, click on the top left box. tell it to use xfce to manage your desktop14:09
Juerd_damien_: Thanks14:21
Juerd_It's not top left here.14:21
Juerd_That's because it's alphabetically sorted, and my language is probably different.14:22
damien_ah coolio14:22
Juerd_Works perfectly though :)14:22
damien_i ran nautilus by mistake once and since then it resets after reboot14:22
Juerd_Oh, I might have done that too14:22
Juerd_I was blaming the upgrade14:22
damien_i says you have to edit xinitrc but i dunno how to14:22
Juerd_Gotta run, see ya14:23
damien_cya14:24
damien_anyone here know anything about getting it to use thunar with xfce instead of a weird gnome desktop mush up?14:24
Turnopardon me for speaking out of turn, but xubuntu seems to kick some motherfucking ass15:05
Turnoi used to run regular ol' ubuntu... i don't see whats really missing15:07
Turnoas far as functionality goes15:07

gerrohmm maybe I should try it again after reconfiguring18:33
RandyboYsomerville32, i think it has something to do with the new machine. I had an old 700mhz machine and it worked perfect. But not on this new one..18:35
somerville32RandyboY, Have you install the restricted codecs?18:35
RandyboYjust did18:36

somerville32Did you install the codecs for those?18:37
RandyboYOn the old machine, no i didnt. Just installed vlc player and it played all my film-files18:38
RandyboYAnd no, i havent installed anything other than the one you told me now on the new machine18:39
