* texnicer feeding the trolls erm... bots01:16
zoredacheI don't know anything about texlive sorry.  What is it?01:17
texnicerI mean this is english-speaking. U.S time is approx 5-8 in the evening... almost noone online?01:17
texnicertexlive is the rather new distribution of LaTeX under linux01:17
texnicerWhile LaTeX is a markup for TeX01:17
zoredachethe #xubuntu channel is almost always empty.  If you want a busy channel see #ubuntu01:18
texnicer"it has to do with typesetting"01:18
texniceri wanna see ppl using my xfce =)01:18
texnicerlike i install on my 2 P2-300/128MB01:18
texnicermobile01:19
texnicerzoredache: so you are U.S.?01:19
texnicerI am German. *wavehand*01:19
=== texnicer is now known as TeXnicer
zoredachetexnicer: yes, I am in the U.S.  Washington state specifically.01:20
TeXnicerI see01:21
zoredachejust a thought, but did you try doing an 'sudo apt-get install textlive-full' ?01:21
TeXniceri did01:22
TeXnicerthat is why i have time01:22
TeXnicerto be honest i left out the "full" and added some suggested packaged01:22
TeXnicer-d+s01:22
TeXnicernow I need to find out what is really imporant while not SPAMing my HD (1GB left only)01:23
TeXnicer*important01:23
TeXnicerYou heard about TeX/LaTeX?01:24
zoredachenope01:24
TeXnicerit's very simple01:24
TeXnicera markup like HTML01:24
TeXnicerbut it produces (traditionally:  .dvi) and .ps and .pdf01:24
TeXnicerperfect for managing big works like master thesis01:25
TeXnicersectioning and footnotes, extraordinary for math formulars, excellent graphics-environment for precise sketching and plotting01:25
TeXnicerinterested in examples?01:26
zoredachenot really01:26
TeXniceri see. sorry. It is my passion, but that is easlily to be guessed hm?!01:27
TeXnicerWhat you are up to?01:27
TeXnicerWhat purpose is your use of Linux?01:27
zoredacheI am resonsible for about 40 debian-based servers that perform varios roles like (firewall,cache,web server,mail server)01:28
TeXnicerouch01:28
TeXnicerlike: money.01:28
TeXnicerlike 24/701:28
TeXnicerI see01:29
TeXnicerdo you know SVG? Scaleable Vector Graphics?01:29
zoredachenope01:29
TeXnicerit's a graphical markup for websites01:29
TeXnicersmall01:29
TeXnicerand precise01:30
TeXnicerlike i did in a small piece of work 'arbelos' (from archimedes): the circles area is the same of the yellow marked area (if you hit the text below)01:30
TeXnicerFLächenmarkierung = area highlighting01:31
TeXnicerhttp://141.76.121.6/~lego/arbe2.svg01:31
* TeXnicer senses that he never gonna use the croatian language support texlive installs right noe01:32
TeXniceroO01:34

TeXnicerwie "cloak"?02:12
TeXnicer!cloak02:12
ubotuMany Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks02:12
TeXnicerokay02:13

Gumbyhello all.  Ive installed xfce on ubuntu using apt-get install xubuntu-desktop from a base install.  The fonts on the desktop are so small they are unreadable.  Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?  I'm googling and every solution I have found thus far has failed04:39
somerville32Gumby, You might try the xubuntu-users mailing list05:08
somerville32Gumby, This channel is pretty dead at this time of day05:08
Gumbyok, thx somerville3205:09
GumbyI might just install ubuntu-desktop meta package instead :)05:10
somerville32lol05:12
GumbyI'm really only using the box to run mythtv.  I would have preferred a light desktop but if I cant get the font situation figured out its a moot point :)05:13
somerville32Why not run Mythbuntu?05:17
Gumbysomerville32: because I am using a DVB-S card for satellite that needs special patches to mythtv05:27
Gumbymythtv needs to be compiled with these patches in so running a distro that includes mythtv is somewhat pointless05:27
somerville32Mythbuntu doesn't ship with those patches?05:28
Gumbynope05:28
Gumbyits for decrypting encrypted satellite05:28

reeeh2000hi all, i'm running xubuntu on an old p2 laptop with no network connection and have lost the menu panel, any ideas?05:57
shekharhi could someone help me out? i deleted my .config/xfce and cannot start the xfce desktop now05:57
soldatsreeeh2000, can you open a terminal05:58
reeeh2000soldats: 1 sec, let me see05:58
reeeh2000soldats: yes05:59
soldatsi think the command in terminal is "xfce4-panel" and it will either open the panel config menu or place the default panel in the desktop. sorry i cant check it right now since im not on my xubuntu hard drive06:00
reeeh2000soldats: lets me give it a try06:00
reeeh2000soldats: hurray, it worked! I love the terminal06:01
soldats:P me too06:01
soldatswhat happened wen you lost the panel06:02
reeeh2000soldats: blast it, it dissapeared when i closed the terminal06:02
soldatsxfce4-panel &06:02
soldats^^ do that with th ampersand06:02
reeeh2000it just didn't turn on at start up06:02
soldatserr "xfce4-panel &"06:02
soldatsthen you should be able to close terminal06:03
reeeh2000ok 1 sec06:03
reeeh2000nope, it dissapears when i close it still06:03
soldatsstrange, ok well do it again minimize the terminal and go to the settings for sessions and click save session then restart and see if it helped06:05
reeeh2000ok let me try06:05
reeeh2000restarting now06:06
shekharha okay my problem solved itself06:07
* shekhar loves xubuntu on the asus eee06:07
reeeh2000ok, its going now06:07
reeeh2000thanks for the help06:07
soldatsreeeh2000, awesome :P im glad06:08
soldatsshekhar, what was the problem06:08
shekharsoldats:  disappearing panels06:08
shekharhad something to do with removing compiz and borking the desktop settings06:08
soldatsahh, so it fixed itself??06:08
soldatsahh06:08
shekharapparently yes :-)06:08
soldatscool :)06:09
shekhari just deleted .config/~xfce406:09
shekharit rebuilt itself after two or three tries06:09
soldatswow i didnt think it would do that06:09
shekharit just reset all the settings06:09
shekhartook some time and prodding tho06:09
reeeh2000thanks guys, loving the speed im getting out of this old p2 with xubuntu06:10
reeeh2000gnight06:10
soldatsbye bye06:11
KuwangerHow do I turn off the system bell?06:22
soldatstheres an option to turn off system bell but i forgot where. look around. i cant check for yousorry since im not on my xubuntu hdd06:25
jrelicsanyone know about installing xubuntu on pentium mmx  I am getting some errors..less when I put acpi=off nolapic etc06:31
nanonymeouch06:33
nanonymeis that i486?06:33
jrelicsdon't think so...is pentium mmx 486?06:34
nanonymeheh, i586 apparently06:35
jrelicsok06:35
nanonymereason for the question is that i suspected it's missing some instructions which causes the errors06:36
jrelicsok06:37
KuwangerAh, xset -b06:37
nanonymealso iirc modern versions of glibc require i686 so your computer might have unexpected behaviour after boot06:37
* Kuwanger wonders why glibc would require i686.06:38
jrelicsok so what should I do06:38
nanonymeKuwanger, i don't know, i ran into that while using gentoo06:38
jrelicsi am redownloading and burning a new xubuntu alt cd install since I thought maybe it froze during scanning cd phase06:39
nanonymeKuwanger, it refuses to compile if you tell it that the cpu is lower than i68606:39
nanonymeif i remember correctly06:39
KuwangerOdd.  I recall Ubuntu's docs saying you could install on a 486.06:39
nanonymesure you can06:40
nanonymeyou just have to use glibc 2.206:40
soldatsxubuntu is built for i686 so youll have to use the alt cd i think06:41
jrelicsalt cd is used06:42
nanonymerigh06:43
nanonymeright even06:43
nanonymeKuwanger, iirc glibc 2.4 added the limitation to Linux06:43
* Kuwanger goes back to wondering why DRI and GLX don't work appropriately.06:43
nanonymebut using a Linux with a non-recent glibc sucks anyway :p06:44
nanonymeat least if it's a desktop06:44
nanonymesince recent programs tend to require a recent glibc so you have your whole dependency chains downgraded to years ago...06:45
KuwangerIs there a simple way to find out what package a file belongs to, to list all installed packages, and to list the contents of an installed package?  Can they be done while Synaptic is running in the background?06:52
zoredacheKuwanger: yes all those things are possible07:12
KuwangerHow?07:13
zoredacheto list all the installed packages 'dpkg --get-selections', to find the package a file belongs to dpkg -S "pattern" '07:14
zoredachethose tasks can even be done as a non-root user07:14

michaelnebeGood evening.Is it possible to use a Wlan card on a PII 450 Mhz with Xubuntu?16:01
Flibberdymichaelnebe: what chipset is the wlan card?16:02
michaelnebei have to buy a new one.I havnt a card yet16:03
Flibberdyoh i see. the kernel deals with that sort of thing so I'd imagine if it's compatible with ubuntu it'll work in xubuntu. Or are wlan cards very cpu intensive?16:05
michaelnebei think that wlan cards a very cpu intensive,so before i buy one i want to ask it it possible that a card work fine in my computer16:07
