| oem__ | what controls automounting in xubuntu? cause it doesnt seem to be working for me | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| soldats | hal afaik | 00:14 |
| oem__ | hmm | 00:15 |
| oem__ | wouldnt that not being functional screw other stuff up? | 00:15 |
| soldats | what are you trying to automount | 00:16 |
| oem__ | anything i put in the dvd drive | 00:28 |
| oem__ | the drive works i installed from it and i can mount stuff from the cli | 00:29 |
| oem__ | automount is inop though | 00:29 |
| oem__ | well lets see if the gnome volume manager being installed fixes things | 00:38 |
| oem | well installing gnome volume manager didnt fix anythign | 00:55 |
| soldats | do you have anything else mounted where the cdrom0 should normally be mounted ie. another hdd | 00:56 |
| oem | nope | 00:56 |
| oem | and it works if i manually mount it | 00:57 |
| soldats | wierd, i wonder if somehow it was removed from .hal.mtab | 00:57 |
| oem | and it seems to only effect the cdrom because usb devices show up | 00:58 |
| oem | so any ideas on how to fix automounting | 01:36 |

| sugardrunk | å | 05:11 |
| sugardrunk | sorry | 05:11 |
| sugardrunk | ...not | 05:11 |
| sugardrunk | ...but I would like to ask if I can edit the menu of applications etc. of XUBUNTU via [gedit] or [leafpad] ??? | 05:13 |
| sugardrunk | because the menu editor is useless! | 05:13 |
| ere4si | I agree sugardrunk - it needs work! | 05:20 |
| ere4si | sugardrunk, I'm not on my xubuntu bow atm - can you type in a terminal - locate menu* - and we'll see if we can't edit it | 05:21 |
| sugardrunk | i would just like to know if xfce4 stores the menu somewhere | 05:29 |
| ere4si | gotta find it first | 05:30 |
| sugardrunk | can it be a anywhere :D | 05:32 |
| ere4si | /usr/share or /usr/bin I think | 05:34 |
| sugardrunk | ok, and is there a name fot the file? | 05:34 |
| ere4si | I would try locate menu | 05:35 |
| sugardrunk | ... | 05:37 |
| sugardrunk | i cannot edit it that way... | 05:37 |
| sugardrunk | but thanks | 05:38 |
| sugardrunk | maybe i'm too tired... | 05:38 |
| sugardrunk | need to go to sleep :D | 05:38 |
| ere4si | that finds it then sudo mousepad /path/to/file | 05:38 |
| sugardrunk | a new trial tomorrow... or maybe the day after... | 05:39 |
| sugardrunk | thanks anyways | 05:39 |
| sugardrunk | that menu would not give me edit anything | 05:39 |
| ere4si | k | 05:40 |
| sugardrunk | there was nothing usefull | 05:40 |
| sugardrunk | but that is for another day | 05:40 |
| sugardrunk | sorry :D | 05:40 |
| sugardrunk | i am too epic | 05:40 |
| sugardrunk | :D | 05:40 |
| sugardrunk | bye :D | 05:40 |
| ere4si | can you right click an entry you want to move? | 05:40 |
| sugardrunk | ... so im looking for the applications memu of the panel... but im drunk... | 05:43 |
| sugardrunk | and there is nothing if I locate it | 05:44 |
| sugardrunk | or in the "menu editor" ... which is useless :D | 05:44 |
| ere4si | you open applications and there isn't any applications? | 05:45 |
| sugardrunk | there is / are | 05:45 |
| sugardrunk | but cannot edit them | 05:45 |
| sugardrunk | from where? | 05:45 |
| sugardrunk | o | 05:45 |
| sugardrunk | h | 05:45 |
| sugardrunk | yea the menu editor... | 05:46 |
| sugardrunk | there is no apps | 05:46 |
| sugardrunk | none | 05:46 |
| ere4si | try this - open the applications menu - right click an option you want to remove or whatever - and you should get a drop down menu giving you choices | 05:47 |
| sugardrunk | xfce4? | 05:47 |
| sugardrunk | xubuntu? | 05:47 |
| sugardrunk | no way | 05:47 |
| ere4si | like I said earlier I'm not at my xubuntu box atm... | 05:48 |
| sugardrunk | yep | 05:48 |
| sugardrunk | thanks anyways | 05:48 |
| sugardrunk | i am also NOT in my full sense right now :D | 05:49 |
| ere4si | k | 05:49 |
| sugardrunk | so.... | 05:49 |
| sugardrunk | :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD | 05:49 |
| sugardrunk | :DDDDDDDD: | 05:49 |
| sugardrunk | :DDDDDDDDD | 05:49 |
| sugardrunk | funny | 05:50 |
| sugardrunk | but nice | 05:50 |
| sugardrunk | :D | 05:50 |
| soldats | dont spam | 05:50 |
| sugardrunk | bye | 05:50 |
| sugardrunk | i wont, no more | 05:50 |
| sugardrunk | soldats, and was not for you either... so no offence | 05:51 |
| sugardrunk | soldats, or "your matter" | 05:51 |
| sugardrunk | soldats, but sorry | 05:51 |
| soldats | :P | 05:53 |
| sugardrunk | soldats, no really | 05:53 |
| sugardrunk | soldats, dont take it so serious :D I lost the track my self (had a question that went...) | 05:54 |
| sugardrunk | [07:29] <sugardrunk> i would just like to know if xfce4 stores the menu somewhere | 05:55 |
| sugardrunk | and how to edit it by gedit / leafpad / mousepad or such | 05:56 |
| soldats | you mean for the system part of the menu | 05:56 |
| sugardrunk | all of them.... menu editor wont work | 05:57 |
| sugardrunk | the whole menu | 05:57 |
| sugardrunk | where is it stored | 05:58 |
| sugardrunk | where are the files for it? | 05:58 |
| soldats | it isnt, the xfce menu is restrictive in that you need to either edit the xml files or you can create .desktop files in order to edit the menu. a quick reference to the xubuntu xfce wiki should give you all the info you need | 05:59 |
| soldats | something like /.config/xfce/menu or similar to that i cant remember | 05:59 |
| sugardrunk | ok thanks | 05:59 |
| soldats | go to the wiki for xubunut though | 05:59 |
| sugardrunk | i will look for them tomorrow and figure out (don't even know why I was bothering tonight... sorry :D) | 06:00 |
| soldats | its alright well now you know where to look :) | 06:00 |
| sugardrunk | yea :D | 06:01 |

| TeslaTony | Hello | 07:36 |
| TeslaTony | Question: I'm currently running Ubuntu, and have added KDE, and want to add XFCE as well. ANy suggestions of how I should go about that? | 07:37 |
| aanderse | sudo apt-get install xubuntu would work | 07:39 |
| aanderse | might install more than you want, though | 07:39 |
| aanderse | depends | 07:39 |
| aanderse | when you say you're running "ubuntu", do you mean "kubuntu" or "ubunu" ? | 07:39 |
| TeslaTony | Ubuntu, the one that defaults to Gnome. My girlfriend prefers KDE, and I run a number of KDE apps, plus I wanted to play with KDE more, so I installed KDE | 07:40 |
| aanderse | ok | 07:41 |
| aanderse | yeah so you could probably just type "sudo apt-get install xubuntu" with no problems then | 07:41 |
| TeslaTony | I was considering messing with some older hardware, and just generally wanted to see more of XFCE | 07:41 |
| ere4si | sudo apt-get install xfce4 | 07:42 |
| TeslaTony | Groovy | 07:42 |
| ere4si | it's in synaptic if you want GUI | 07:42 |
| TeslaTony | ere4si: Why that command over aanderse's suggestion? | 07:42 |
| ere4si | xubuntu is a distro - xubuntu-desktop installs xfce4 + apps - xfce4 installs the window manager and uses installed apps | 07:43 |
| TeslaTony | Gotcha. Would installing the xubuntu apps cause any trouble for me? | 07:44 |
| ere4si | not at all - you would just double up on some things is all | 07:45 |
| TeslaTony | Multiple word processors, media players, browsers, etc? | 07:45 |
| ere4si | yep | 07:45 |
| ere4si | if you've got the space... | 07:45 |
| TeslaTony | Actually, I'd kinda like to try some of them | 07:45 |
| ere4si | go ahead with xubuntu-desktop for the experience :) | 07:46 |
| ere4si | when you install it you will see the extra apps as dependencies | 07:47 |
| TeslaTony | OK | 07:47 |
| TeslaTony | Cool. The command line spat back "package xubuntu not found," but Synaptic had it | 07:56 |
| TeslaTony | ...which I thought I had looked at previously... | 07:57 |
| soldats | wierd it should have been there | 07:57 |
| TeslaTony | BTW, how well does xfce handle KDE and Gnome applications? I recall some time ago that the different platforms didn't always play nice | 07:58 |

| Epicenter | Hello :) I am trying to put Ubuntu (Xubuntu to be specific) on a laptop with no CDROM drive. It can ONLY boot the HDD, no FDD or USB Devices. I am trying to install it from another machine, with the HDD attached to a USB adapter. But it seems to want to detect all hardware from the installing machine. | 14:51 |
| Epicenter | Is there a way to get it to detect the hardware of the machine I install it in next? | 14:51 |
| Epicenter | Or to otherwise get an installer ON the hard disk to install from the proper machine? | 14:52 |
| Laney | Epicenter713: Does this help? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-ubuntukubuntuedubuntuxubuntu-without-cdrom-drive.html | 15:53 |
| Epicenter713 | Fully updated Xubuntu. Everything is fast and responsive when I first am logging in, or when I click "log out" in XFCE. but once XFCE finishes loading everything is sluggish and horribly choppy, even mouse movements are badly delayed. Any ideas what may be wrong? :( | 16:36 |
| nikolam | Epicenter713, if hard disk activity is huge try to look for gam_server process and kill it. | 17:07 |
| nikolam | also if you have slower gr. card, uninstall compiz fusion | 17:07 |
| Epicenter713 | It's a Silicon Motion Lynx3DM+, really really low end | 17:10 |
| Epicenter713 | Isn't compiz crazy GPU intensive? | 17:10 |
| Epicenter713 | Xorg is using 96% of CPU | 17:10 |
| nanbudh | in xubuntu one can set the screen resolution in settings>screens and graphics as well as settings>display settings. whats the difference? and if by chance anyone is using samtron 55v 15inch crt could you suggest what is the best resolution to work and the herz too? | 17:17 |
| nikolam | nanbudh, zou need to find EXACT specification for horizontal and vertical refresh ranges for zour monitor. And zou need to run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and set all frequencies right. If zou dont set frequencz right, zou can damage zour monitor if frequencz is out of range | 17:19 |
| nanbudh | nikolam: my monitor is quite old and i donot have its manual or anything with me. how can i find out the specs? | 17:22 |
| nikolam | nanbudh, on internet. I can trz to find it | 17:30 |
| nanbudh | i am searching.. | 17:32 |
| nikolam | nanbudh, it is samsung monitor, is it not? | 17:32 |
| nanbudh | yes samsung samtran 55v 15 inch CRT | 17:32 |
| nanbudh | *samtron | 17:32 |
| nanbudh | the thing is there is a samtron 55v mentioned in the screen and graphics. but one can change the resolution too. which resolution to choose is the question | 17:33 |
| nanbudh | BRB | 17:35 |
| nanbudh | back | 17:37 |
| nikolam | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54498/ | 17:38 |
| nikolam | 30-55 horizontal, 50-120 vertical | 17:38 |
| nikolam | Samtron; Samtron 55v; sam12b7; 30-55; 50-120; 1 | 17:39 |
| nanbudh | nikolam: can i set these in settings>screens and graphics? or shold i use dpkg xorg server command u told me earlier about? | 17:40 |
| nanbudh | and which resolution should i use? | 17:41 |
| nikolam | try 1024x768 that will work for shure | 17:41 |
| nikolam | and 60hz and 70 and 75hz refresh rate. | 17:41 |
| nikolam | check other specifications for higher refresh rate, if it can work | 17:42 |
| nanbudh | i just checked that there is no place to set the horizontal and vertical refresh rates anywhere. and yes its working at 1024x768 | 17:43 |
| nanbudh | thanks for the help | 17:44 |
| nikolam | there is place to set if you run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, and restart, like you should do. | 17:44 |
| nikolam | samtron 56V(15") with max resolution @ 800x600@85Hz or 1024x768@60Hz | 17:44 |
| nikolam | refresh rates are stated in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:45 |
| nanbudh | can i simply do sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make changes over there? that way i wont have to reboot just now. they would take effect the next time. would that be okay? | 17:46 |
| nikolam | Yes you can. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does just that. But it is safer to run a command then to do it yourself. You can always use command line sudo nano to make changes if X wont start. | 17:50 |
| nanbudh | okay thank you very much | 17:51 |
| nikolam | np :) | 17:53 |

| Ven]n | i was just wondering.. why is totem player being the default movie app and not mplayer or vlc? | 19:05 |
| pmj | due to the legal issues with mplayer and vlc. Also, Totem is a simpler and more integrated player | 19:12 |
| pmj | making it the superior choice up until you actually want to use it to watch a movie, where it all falls down ;) | 19:13 |
| TheSheep | shame it doesn't have subtitle support | 19:14 |
| TheSheep | but well, all the world speaks English | 19:14 |
| pmj | it does, if you place the subtitles in the same directory as the movie. Not all formats are supported, though, and it has no support for styled subtitles either | 19:15 |
| TheSheep | I have them in the same directory | 19:16 |
| Ven]n | pmj, ah, i see | 19:16 |
| TheSheep | nevermind | 19:16 |
| TheSheep | sorry for bitching :) | 19:16 |
| pmj | make sure the subtitle file has the exact same as the movie file, except the extension | 19:17 |
| pmj | exact same name | 19:17 |
| pmj | or just use a better player, which I'm pretty sure you already did :) | 19:18 |
