[00:11] <luc_> Is there a xubuntu release working on the PS3 at all?
[00:17] <quittt> hello
[00:18] <quittt> do you know how do I edit Xfce menu?
[00:19] <luc_> quittt: http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/07/12/manually-edit-the-xfce-menu/ after a quick search...
[00:23] <bad_cables> anyone using a Linksys WPM54G wireless card?
[00:24] <quittt> luc_, well, it is not I'm looking for
[00:24] <soldats> quittt, thats the only way to edit the system part of the menu other than that you need to make some .desktop files or edit already made .desktop files
[00:31] <LetsGo67> My time is constantly 6 hours late, can someone help me fix this pleas?
[00:31] <soldats> rclick the time app and set to your correct time zone
[00:32] <LetsGo67> I am unable to do that, soldats.
[00:33] <soldats> well manually set the clock to the right time and save sassions and restart and see if it help. other wise the normal solution is rclick >> properties >> and set the time zone there
[00:33] <LetsGo67> It's Xfce, not Gnome.
[01:01] <bad_cables> yes yes yes
[01:01] <bad_cables> ndiswrapper is the best
[01:02] <zoredache> bad_cables: I disagree.  I find that buying a supported network adapter is the best
[01:02] <zoredache> buying cheap unsupported adapters just encourages the stupid vendors to keep making them.
[01:03] <bad_cables> they dont get paid to make drivers for linux do they?
[01:04] <bad_cables> and this adaptor wasn't cheap and it was on the Ubuntu list of supported out of the box wifi nics
[01:04] <bad_cables> i actually did get 2 cheap wifi nics trying to get them to work as well
[01:04] <zoredache> no, but at least in some cases the manufacturers publish the full specs for the card, and don't require that your dirver includes prorprietry firmware
[01:05] <bad_cables> well my nic is the Linksys WMP54G 4.1 with the rt61 driver
[01:05] <bad_cables> the rt61pci is what xubuntu installed
[01:06] <bad_cables> that worked but dropped connection on huge downloads, like... apt-get updates and things
[01:06] <bad_cables> then i worked from the threads and tried a new rt61 driver
[01:06] <bad_cables> that worked but, when it scanned i saw a 0% on the radio for all the networks
[01:07] <bad_cables> finally i saw a newer thread that advised the nidiswrapper
[01:07] <bad_cables> untill there is a better driver, that is what i am stuck with
[01:07] <bad_cables> i dont mind, as long as it is stable
[02:22] <gmcastil> i'm still new to the way that Apt works and I'm trying to understand the difference between 'update' and 'upgrade'.  The description makes it look as if 'update' doesn't actually make any changes to local Apt database.  Is this correct?
[03:45] <neald> Hey all, I'm trying to install xubuntu via a partion from another linux system.  I mounted the image, copied all the contents to a partition, set grup to boot to that drive, I get a boot, but I get an error (kernel panic) on the loading of scripts and it kills init.  Anyone know off hand what I did wrong?
[03:49] <maxamillion> neald: no, sorry .... can't say i have ever tried to install that way
[03:50] <cookiemonster077> Help my panel applets and menus have disappeared
[03:51] <maxamillion> cookiemonster077: but not the panels themselves?
[03:51] <cookiemonster077> yes panels to
[03:54] <cookiemonster077> help maxamillion left
[03:56] <neald> Okay, I'll see if I can find help elsewhere
[04:02] <cookiemonster077> is anyone here
[04:05] <bytor4232> Hit alt-f2, then type in xfce4-panel
[09:15] <whyking_> hi
[09:16] <whyking_> I installed a debian package because I needed a newer version.. but now ubuntu caught up, but there is a conflict
[09:16] <whyking_> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/pyqt4-dev-tools_4.3-2ubuntu7.1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/qt4/plugins/designer/libpythonplugin.so', which is also in package python-qt4
[09:17] <whyking_> I removed libpythonplugin.so but the conflict remains
[13:46] <Ven]n> tip for an ok e-mail app in xubuntu? :)
[13:46] <Ven]n> didnt like thunderbird
[15:08] <gabkdll1> Ven]n: I have gmail collect all my email, and then I read it through the web-interface
[15:10] <gabkdll1> I tried mutt, but it was a little overkill for my needs, even though it is pretty light weight
[15:11] <gabkdll1> some people really like sylpheed, and it certainly is light weight and fast
[15:11] <gabkdll1> I like having my email integrated with my chat though
[16:19] <pb_ee1> Heya
[16:19] <pb_ee1> i'm looking for a way to create my own keyboard layout, is there a way to do so with ubuntu or xubuntu?
[16:20] <TheSheep> pb_ee1: sure, just copy and edit one of the layout files, they are text files
[16:20] <pb_ee1> ho, nice to know that, but... where are those files? :p
[16:21] <TheSheep> pb_ee1: /usr/share/X11/xkb/
[16:21] <TheSheep> pb_ee1: you probably want to read some documentation on xkb first
[16:21] <pb_ee1> Thanks a lot TheSheep, i'm looking into it right now ;)
[16:22] <TheSheep> !layout
[16:22] <ubotu> To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts
[16:22] <pb_ee1> thanks for this additional info ;)
[16:23] <TheSheep> this link should get you started, I think
[16:23] <pb_ee1> i'll look at it ;p
[16:27] <mynyml> i can't get my mic to work with skype, been researching for hours on google. any tip would be greatly appreciated
[16:32] <TheSheep> mynyml: does it work with other applications?
[16:33] <mynyml> TheSheep: i can hear my voice comming out of the speakers
[16:34] <TheSheep> hmm.. then the problem seems to be with skype and its settings, I guess
[16:34] <TheSheep> I have no experience with it, it's proprietary software
[16:35] <mynyml> TheSheep: i know, just that it's always worked before. and i really need to use it
[16:36] <TheSheep> mynyml: it's set to alsa?
[16:37] <mynyml> TheSheep: not sure ... you mean the skype settings? the sound in options are either default or a variety HDA intel (....)
[16:38] <TheSheep> mynyml: is there any other application running that might be using your microphone?
[16:38] <mynyml> nothing that wouldnt have been running on my previous laptop
[16:39] <mynyml> there's pidgin but afaik it doesnt have an audio feature yet ...
[16:39] <TheSheep> no
[16:46] <mynyml> TheSheep: how do i add "model=ref" as a module option?
[16:47] <TheSheep> mynyml: in /etc/modprobe.d/options
[16:48] <mynyml> TheSheep: so i just add another line to it? options ??? model=ref   ?
[16:48] <TheSheep> mynyml: it's: options module_name model=ref
[16:48] <TheSheep> mynyml: where module_name is the module you want to add this option for
[16:49] <mynyml> TheSheep: unfortunatly kernel modules are beyound the realm of my limitted knowledge
[16:49] <mynyml> is alsa a module?
[16:49] <TheSheep> mynyml: but the hwto you're following does tell what module it's for?
[16:50] <mynyml> TheSheep: no, its just an entry towards the end of a long thread discussing a similar problem
[16:50] <soldats> mynyml, have you seen this site http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=4489
[16:50] <mynyml> "Solved by adding model=ref as a module option. See Question #6414"
[16:52] <mynyml> i found question 6414 through google, that might have it ..
[16:57] <Ven]n> hmm.. i need to install gtk-devel and glib-devel
[16:58] <Ven]n> where do i find the repositories for those?
[16:59] <zoredache> Ven]n: there should be packages in the main repository
[17:01] <Ven]n> hmm
[17:01] <Ven]n> cant find
[17:01] <zoredache> it would probably be named something like libnnnnn-dev
[17:01] <Ven]n> i have the ubuntu supported packages and the ubuntu community supported pacakges
[17:01] <Ven]n> oh..
[17:01] <zoredache> for example the gtk package might be libgtk1.2-dev
[17:02] <zoredache> or maybe libgtk2.0-dev... depending on the version you want
[17:02] <Ven]n> a bunch of them
[17:02] <Ven]n> i just need one to install sylpheed
[17:03] <Ven]n> foudn libgtk2.0-dev yes
[17:03] <zoredache> aside from disk space it probably wouldn't hurt to just install all of the possibilties
[17:03] <Ven]n> using eeepc
[17:03] <Ven]n> i dont have disk space :D
[17:33] <chris710> hi

[19:08] <BronxAngel> hello xubuntu users. i need tips on making xubuntu even faster on older machines
[19:11] <TheSheep> BronxAngel: the first tip: use some lighter distribution, like archlinux or even gentoo with proper flags
[19:12] <BronxAngel> the oldest machine i have is 333mhz+256ram
[19:15] <BronxAngel> the installer for archlinux doe snot look too userfriendly for a noob like me
[19:16] <TheSheep> BronxAngel: well, if you're not an advanced user, then better stay with xubuntu
[19:17] <TheSheep> BronxAngel: you can disable the printing daemon (cups) if you don't use it, and a number of other unused services (like bluetooth)
[19:17] <BronxAngel> cool, thanks TheSheep, plus i already installed xubuntu and it is a blessing to this old pc. win98 never ran like this b4
[19:18] <BronxAngel> i heard that reducing the workspace desk to 1 reduces memory. is this true?
[19:18] <TheSheep> BronxAngel: you can also remove some of the autostarted applications, like update notification, crash reporting, etc.
[19:19] <BronxAngel> awesome. where is there a nice tutorial with all these goodies?
[19:34] <TheSheep> BronxAngel: I don't know any, but I'm sure there are some on the forums
[19:34] <TheSheep> !forums | BronxAngel
[19:34] <ubotu> BronxAngel: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums.
