[02:10] which repo holds bcm43xx-fwcutter? [02:11] synaptic should find it in a search [02:12] i return nothing. [02:13] what is it for [02:13] ok weird, using apt-get i got it [02:13] wireless [02:13] ahh === thomas__ is now known as The-Kernel [04:51] alo! i need some help with virtual box [04:51] it keeps crashing on me [04:56] I guess it crashed again :P [09:02] 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] It is currently a png and hence I don't think it scales very nicely [09:14] somerville32: I already made one and uploaded to the wiki [09:14] somerville32: I think 1.5 years ago [09:14] TheSheep, Link? [09:21] searching the ubuntu wiki is surely slow [09:23] somerville32: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Artwork/Feisty [09:23] somerville32: see under 'Logo' [09:23] a year ago [09:25] Ah, distinctly I rememeber, it was in the bleak December [09:26] And each separate dying ember, wrought its ghost upon the floor [09:26] lol [09:26] thanks :) [10:51] how can i check for signal strength of my wifi card on my xubuntu box? [11:00] 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? [11:36] that is the signal strangth ;) and it is quite low to be usable in my opinion [12:02] 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? [12:05] well, it should be just an hardware issue [12:08] nanbudh: check if it's the smae network [12:08] same [12:09] its the same network i am sure of it. there is no other network picked up. [12:11] 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 === ablomen_ is now known as ablomen [13:13] hi, anyone there uses secpanel? === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo [14:36] hey all [14:36] anyone around i need some quick help [14:37] nerous: i have to leave in just a moment, but what's up? [14:37] why does virtualbox keeps freezing my computer? [14:38] i am running 7.10 xubuntu and the latest ver of vb [14:38] i needed to install windows on it for some applications that i have already purchased and blackberry support [14:39] ah! ... sorry, i have to go [14:39] bbl === maxamillion is now known as notMax [16:32] Hi, what is the best video player plugin for Firefox (with best performance)? (xine-plugin hung my pc several times today) [16:33] if there was a singl;e best one, it would be the default [16:34] I use the vlc one, but I don't watch video often [16:40] TheSheep: Thanks, I'll give it a go. [17:20] I didn't knew,but xfce is really nice! [17:23] it can be made nice, yes [17:48] what's a way to find out my screen resolution in x? [18:25] Moin [18:27] I found a strange behaviour after installin Gutsy Gibbon: while mountin 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] texnicer: try looking at the end of your dmesg [18:27] rgr [18:28] texnicer: it might be something with the cable or the hardware [18:28] TheSheep: hm... looks like the HUB is doing trouble.. [18:29] port 1 disabled by HUB (EMI?) re-enabeling [18:30] hm... I found that problem with my USB directly attached to the computer, too. But this is definitly a HW prob, I see [18:32] 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] what could this mean. HDD error? [18:32] hm fs-error or problems mounting an ubuntusystem on an ubuntusystem? [18:33] no, I think that just the filesystem module couldn't read from/write to the device (because it got disconnected at lower layer) [18:34] TheSheep: ok. I check forums on that. Trying direct attach later. Thank you for help [18:40] 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? [18:41] texnicer: fat, unfortunately [18:41] texnicer: unless you are willing to install additional drivers on the windows [18:42] what about FAT32 . which makes the mount type -t vfat <- is that right? [18:42] *LOL* saw new GIMP splash ... [18:42] nice balloon [18:43] texnicer: yes, I meant fat32, mount should actually autodetect the filesystem type [18:43] copy on that [18:43] texnicer: so you can skip that -t [18:43] thx for help you really saved my evening =) [18:44] glad I could help [19:13] hi can anyone help me install xubuntu on my old hardware? === notMax is now known as maxamillion [19:16] why is there a keyring for wifi?

[19:35] * maxamillion is actually at work right now [19:35] Ven]n: in the keyboard settings in settings manager [19:35] 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 [19:37] hey guys, i have this wifi problem i was wondering if anyone could help me with... it has to do with WPA enterprise [19:37] thanks maxamillion [19:38] command to run terminal is terminal? hehe [19:38] no.. :/ [19:48] Hi, I have tried to install Xubuntu on my old PC, but the installation freezes when it's trying to identify the disk format. What to do? [19:50] what terminal is standard in xubuntu? [19:51] xfce-terminal [19:51] but terminal should be linked to it [19:52] xfce4-terminal, sorry [19:53] anyone here/ [19:53] !anyone [19:53] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[20:04] So, does anyone here know about the ex-fbconsole problem ? [20:06] why does wifi asks for password on keyring? [20:06] qwerku2: please don't swear, have you checked the forums? [20:07] qwerku2: what's the problem exactly? [20:07] Ven]n: to be able to access your stored passwords [20:08] TheSheep: sry. the problem is solved, I just want to know how it has been solved [20:09] after the 7.10 upgrade, most of us lost the usual frame buffer console [20:09] just black screen [20:10] there was quite a lot of litterature about some hacks to fix it, but nothing very conclusive [20:10] if it was reported and fixed, then it will be in the bug database [20:10] and now, i just update my system [20:10] http://bugs.ubuntu.com [20:10] just search the solved bugs [20:12] ok [20:12] searching...

[20:42] was that bad? [20:42] :) [20:43] it's the expected behavior, works fine for most users :) [20:43] can i empty the whole file sources.list and set it up with system->software sources again? [20:43] sure [20:43] its so messy [20:43] or you can use the Easy Source to generate a list for you [20:43] !easysource [20:43] source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic [20:43] cool [20:44] i will do that :D [20:44] thanks alot [20:45] Upstream Opera [20:45] The Opera developers provide their product in this repository. [20:45] thats the opera browser i assume? [20:45] probably [20:45] and beryl.. is there a point in having lates there? [20:45] or will stable work fine? [20:45] eaither this, or some tickets for the Carmen ;) [20:45] i prefer lates from opera.. [20:45] ;D [20:46] Ven]n: you can always add repos when you need them [20:46] i know [20:46] will skip beryl so far [20:48] excellent.. updating [21:11] so.. why does keyring ask for password everytime i boot? [21:11] it looks for wifi.. [21:15] !welcome back [21:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about welcome back - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:02] anyone knows how to prevent keyring to asks for password to use wifi? [22:02] "the application nm-applet wants access to the default keyring, but its locked" [22:04] Ven]n: I have seen a few articles that describe how to integrate the keyring with pam [22:04] 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] isnt there a group to make a user member ? [22:05] ddddd: sorry? [22:05] to make use of wifi [22:06] without asing passwords [22:06] I am betting he has access to wifi, but his wpa/wep key is stored in the keyring [22:07] ah [22:07] I don't think adding a user to a group would make his wpa/wep password available if it is in the keyring [22:15] hrmf [22:26] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/161122 [22:26] Launchpad bug 161122 in gnome-keyring "nm_applet prompts for password on startup" [Undecided,New] [22:30] thanks [22:30] how do I fix auto-login btw?

How can i stop this, or use a different program [23:03] Proto: open Thunar, go to edit->preferences->advanced->configure volume manager [23:03] Proto: second tab [23:03] thanks [23:05] i see where it should be, but i don't see an option for iPods, nor is there anything using Rhythmbox as its program [23:08] Proto, Do you have ubutnu-desktop installed? [23:09] i'll check. i'm using xubuntu though, of course [23:15] no, i only have xubuntu-desktop [23:17] proto did you fix your ipod/rythmbox problem [23:17] no [23:18] i feel like i'm closer though :-) [23:18] do you use rythmbox for your ipod or do you use something else [23:18] i'd like to use gtkpod [23:19] 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] from rythmbox [23:27] removing the check next to ipod support works here ;) [23:28] goodnight :) [23:32] thanks everyone [23:32] i'm out [23:32] power to the people
