| nerous2 | alo! i need some help with virtual box | 04:51 |
| nerous2 | it keeps crashing on me | 04:51 |
| somerville32 | I guess it crashed again :P | 04:56 |
| somerville32 | TheSheep, Would you be able to keep me an SVG icon that conforms to the current style of Xubuntu for the Xubuntu applications menu? | 09:02 |
| somerville32 | It is currently a png and hence I don't think it scales very nicely | 09:02 |
| TheSheep | somerville32: I already made one and uploaded to the wiki | 09:14 |
| TheSheep | somerville32: I think 1.5 years ago | 09:14 |
| somerville32 | TheSheep, Link? | 09:14 |
| TheSheep | searching the ubuntu wiki is surely slow | 09:21 |
| TheSheep | somerville32: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Artwork/Feisty | 09:23 |
| TheSheep | somerville32: see under 'Logo' | 09:23 |
| TheSheep | a year ago | 09:23 |
| TheSheep | Ah, distinctly I rememeber, it was in the bleak December | 09:25 |
| TheSheep | And each separate dying ember, wrought its ghost upon the floor | 09:26 |

| somerville32 | thanks :) | 09:26 |
| nanbudh | how can i check for signal strength of my wifi card on my xubuntu box? | 10:51 |
| nanbudh | the nm applet which is installed by default does not show the wifi signal strength. is there anything i can install for that? in system>network>wireless-connection-properties when i open the list of avalable networks it show "NETGEAR 17%" is this signal strength? if yes then should 17% at least open a page or two? | 11:00 |
| witozzo | that is the signal strangth ;) and it is quite low to be usable in my opinion | 11:36 |
| nanbudh | witozzo: okay so at least it means that all is installed properly. But the strange thing is that a newer windows laptop placed besides the errrant xubuntu desktop picks up internet very well. could it be that OS is making a difference or is it purely a hardware issue? | 12:02 |
| witozzo | well, it should be just an hardware issue | 12:05 |
| TheSheep | nanbudh: check if it's the smae network | 12:08 |
| TheSheep | same | 12:08 |
| nanbudh | its the same network i am sure of it. there is no other network picked up. | 12:09 |
| nanbudh | the signal strength should not be this weak, it just a 15 mtrs away max. and not too many walls too. has to be card hardware issue | 12:11 |

| TheSheep | if there was a singl;e best one, it would be the default | 16:33 |
| TheSheep | I use the vlc one, but I don't watch video often | 16:34 |

| texnicer | Moin | 18:25 |
| texnicer | I found a strange behaviour after installin Gutsy Gibbon: while mountin <something LIKE USB-Stick or USB-HDD> this mount is rather unstable and will umount after randomly and approximatly 3min... anyone can give me a clue on that? Which information are needed? TIA. | 18:27 |
| TheSheep | texnicer: try looking at the end of your dmesg | 18:27 |
| texnicer | rgr | 18:27 |
| TheSheep | texnicer: it might be something with the cable or the hardware | 18:28 |
| texnicer | TheSheep: hm... looks like the HUB is doing trouble.. | 18:28 |
| texnicer | port 1 disabled by HUB (EMI?) re-enabeling | 18:29 |
| texnicer | hm... I found that problem with my USB directly attached to the computer, too. But this is definitly a HW prob, I see | 18:30 |
| texnicer | TheSheep: now I got the errormessage: scsi 12:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device \newline FAT: Directory bread (block1..56) failed. | 18:32 |
| texnicer | what could this mean. HDD error? | 18:32 |
| texnicer | hm fs-error or problems mounting an ubuntusystem on an ubuntusystem? | 18:32 |
| TheSheep | no, I think that just the filesystem module couldn't read from/write to the device (because it got disconnected at lower layer) | 18:33 |
| texnicer | TheSheep: ok. I check forums on that. Trying direct attach later. Thank you for help | 18:34 |
| texnicer | TheSheep: Direct connect makes it stable. Just one more: Using an USB-Stick, which fs would you prefer if you also have to transfer between win/linux? | 18:40 |
| TheSheep | texnicer: fat, unfortunately | 18:41 |
| TheSheep | texnicer: unless you are willing to install additional drivers on the windows | 18:41 |
| texnicer | what about FAT32 . which makes the mount type -t vfat <- is that right? | 18:42 |
| texnicer | *LOL* saw new GIMP splash ... | 18:42 |
| texnicer | nice balloon | 18:42 |
| TheSheep | texnicer: yes, I meant fat32, mount should actually autodetect the filesystem type | 18:43 |
| texnicer | copy on that | 18:43 |
| TheSheep | texnicer: so you can skip that -t | 18:43 |
| texnicer | thx for help you really saved my evening =) | 18:43 |

| * maxamillion is actually at work right now | 19:35 | |
| maxamillion | Ven]n: in the keyboard settings in settings manager | 19:35 |
| maxamillion | Ven]n: you will have to create a custom keyboard "profile" but it will copy all the defaults automatically to your new one and then allow you to add your own | 19:35 |

| qwerku2 | hi all | 20:01 |
| qwerku2 | i hate updating my system | 20:01 |
| TheSheep | qwerku2: then don't | 20:02 |
| qwerku2 | lol | 20:02 |
| qwerku2 | well | 20:02 |
| TheSheep | no, really, don't fix things that work | 20:02 |
| qwerku2 | but this time, eveything worked fine | 20:02 |
| qwerku2 | :) | 20:02 |
| qwerku2 | i was hapily surprised to discover my fbconsole AGAIN | 20:03 |
| qwerku2 | that's why I'm here | 20:03 |
| qwerku2 | since i tried to solve that problem a few month ago | 20:03 |
| qwerku2 | i'm very interested in the "official" solution | 20:03 |
| qwerku2 | en clair: what was fucked up ? | 20:04 |
| qwerku2 | So, does anyone here know about the ex-fbconsole problem ? | 20:04 |
| Ven]n | why does wifi asks for password on keyring? | 20:06 |
| TheSheep | qwerku2: please don't swear, have you checked the forums? | 20:06 |
| TheSheep | qwerku2: what's the problem exactly? | 20:07 |
| TheSheep | Ven]n: to be able to access your stored passwords | 20:07 |
| qwerku2 | TheSheep: sry. the problem is solved, I just want to know how it has been solved | 20:08 |
| qwerku2 | after the 7.10 upgrade, most of us lost the usual frame buffer console | 20:09 |
| qwerku2 | just black screen | 20:09 |
| qwerku2 | there was quite a lot of litterature about some hacks to fix it, but nothing very conclusive | 20:10 |
| TheSheep | if it was reported and fixed, then it will be in the bug database | 20:10 |
| qwerku2 | and now, i just update my system | 20:10 |
| TheSheep | http://bugs.ubuntu.com | 20:10 |
| TheSheep | just search the solved bugs | 20:10 |
| qwerku2 | ok | 20:12 |

| qwerku2 | backup first | 20:34 |
| qwerku2 | blank out everything | 20:34 |
| qwerku2 | and put the minimum required | 20:34 |

| TheSheep | Ven]n: I'd leave out the 'proposed' upgrades | 20:36 |
| TheSheep | Ven]n: the yare not tested | 20:36 |

| Ven]n | downloading packet information | 20:40 |
| Ven]n | :) | 20:40 |
| Ven]n | wonder why the installer commented all those out | 20:40 |
| TheSheep | Ven]n: it probably tried to connect to them and failed | 20:41 |
| Ven]n | yeah, i hadnt set up wifi | 20:41 |
| TheSheep | Ven]n: then concluded you have no net access, so it should only use the cd... | 20:42 |
| Ven]n | was that bad? | 20:42 |
| Ven]n | :) | 20:42 |
| TheSheep | it's the expected behavior, works fine for most users :) | 20:43 |
| Ven]n | can i empty the whole file sources.list and set it up with system->software sources again? | 20:43 |
| TheSheep | sure | 20:43 |
| Ven]n | its so messy | 20:43 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about welcome back - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 21:15 |
| Ven]n | anyone knows how to prevent keyring to asks for password to use wifi? | 22:02 |
| Ven]n | "the application nm-applet wants access to the default keyring, but its locked" | 22:02 |
| zoredache | Ven]n: I have seen a few articles that describe how to integrate the keyring with pam | 22:04 |
| zoredache | so if your keyring password is the same as your login password then it automatically works. But the directions I tried didn't work. | 22:04 |
| ddddd | isnt there a group to make a user member ? | 22:04 |
| zoredache | ddddd: sorry? | 22:05 |
| ddddd | to make use of wifi | 22:05 |
| ddddd | without asing passwords | 22:06 |
| zoredache | I am betting he has access to wifi, but his wpa/wep key is stored in the keyring | 22:06 |
| ddddd | ah | 22:07 |
| zoredache | I don't think adding a user to a group would make his wpa/wep password available if it is in the keyring | 22:07 |

| soldats | proto did you fix your ipod/rythmbox problem | 23:17 |
| Proto | no | 23:17 |
| Proto | i feel like i'm closer though :-) | 23:18 |
| soldats | do you use rythmbox for your ipod or do you use something else | 23:18 |
| Proto | i'd like to use gtkpod | 23:18 |
| soldats | i think if you go to edit > plugins and remove the check next to ipod support it wont pop up. i left my ipod at work so i cant check | 23:19 |
| soldats | from rythmbox | 23:19 |
| march | removing the check next to ipod support works here ;) | 23:27 |
