[17:29] I'll be installing Gutsy on my old Compaq pentium II in an hour or so and I was wondering if Compiz Fuision is already loaded into Gutsy as I've read. [18:36] When I put by system into standby mode and come back out of it, by wireless connection does not work. I am useing a static IP with wpa2 personal connection. any advise? [18:52] I had the same problem with my USD ADSL modem under linux. I fixed it with making 1. script for shutting down connection and its device device and 2. script for turning device and connection back on. Next, you can make it part of standby/resume script and also you can make them as commands so you can start them manually (+x in /usr/sbin) [19:21] Hallo :D [20:07] Hallo March [20:17] Hi, is anyone here familiar with the Load_Cycle_Count issue on laptops?

[21:52] yes, hdd in a laptop [21:53] well there should be a fix for that? [21:53] yes there should be however it's not working here, apparently [21:54] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=591503 [21:54] that's no good [21:54] the "hdparm -B 254 /dev/hda" has no effect, I still get a rapid increase in Load_Cycle_Count when the computer is idle [21:59] though I wonder if I should have hdparm activated under "Services" [22:12] hi [22:12] hi!

I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon. I tried to compile libexo but it didn't work :( So I can't compile Thunar... [22:39] march: try to install it from repositories instead of compiling yourself [22:39] thanks - I'll try that :) [22:40] maybe it's in the hardy release [22:40] Yes - it ist. [22:41] then you can either upgrade now and take instability, or just wait till it's finished [22:51] is there any way to add extra applets to the xfce panels? similar to third-party windows vista sidebar applications... [23:01] rclick the panel and choose add [23:02] no... [23:02] is it possible to add third-party applets to that list? [23:08] I'll better wait siggjen. :) [23:29] hello [23:29] !hi [23:29] Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! [23:29] Thanks. [23:30] I poped in looking for a quick answer to a probably stupid question [23:30] if you know it's stupid, please don't ask [23:31] no, the ubuntu community prides itself helping everyone [23:31] I was trying out the Liver CD version of xubuntu 6.06.1 and I was just wondering if there were any temp files or anything that might be written to the HD [23:32] naw it's probably just stupid bucause I just over looked the answer inmy own searching [23:32] no. [23:33] it runs from the livecd only [23:33] somebody ban him [23:33] cool didn't think it would but just wanted to check. Thanks [23:34] np :) [23:37] What do most consider the best distro option for running from a CDRW or saving to another external source? Like Puppy. [23:40] WebGuest1: anything you feel comfortable with [23:40] somebody plz ban him =\ [23:41] why? theis is where your suposed to go for help...Right? [23:41] no, not that kind of help... [23:42] WebGuest1: do you use xubuntu? [23:44] Ok sorry to bother. I know they are noobish questions but shit I've only been looking into this pretty much most of the day. soldats: I have the 6.06.1 distro today got it burnt and had it up and running. Just have not resigned to do a full install yet. [23:45] looked good and i had no problems launching. And about every program I would personally need is allready there. I was happy with it. [23:46] awesome well i hope you stick with it. [23:47] to be a little nicer about it. if you have a question directly related to xubuntu or ubuntu please ask here. if its a general question with linux id suggest asking in ##linux. no offense im glad your using xubuntu and i hope you continue on your learning curve [23:47] WebGuest1: uhh thats to you^^ [23:49] np [23:49] hey guys [23:49] anyone know where i can set the system beep? [23:49] i have a piece of software that calls the default system beep but there's no sound because its not set [23:49] and i can't find where its supposed to be set up in xubunty [23:50] in xfce there's xfSound i think [23:51] what app and system beep in what terminal? [23:51] its a java app i wrote [23:51] ahh [23:51] its supposed to beep with the system beep [23:51] because it calls the default sound bell [23:52] but for some reason i can't find where in xubuntu this sound is set. and i think its disabled by default [23:52] it works in KDE and gnome :( [23:52] so its not an API thing [23:52] some of what I read today led me to believe that ubuntu or xubuntu could be set up to run from cd and save to flash drive. is that possible? [23:53] WebGuest1: yes [23:53] cool. [23:53] WebGuest1: yes. there's eeexubuntu which can do it for you automatically as well [23:53] Angelus_: gotcha. i think at one point i set my system bell to off but i cant remember where. [23:54] soldats: nod. Kinda frustrating [23:55] wish i could be more help. have you asked in #xfce yet [23:55] All right thank you both for putting up with me. [23:55] WebGuest1: no problem [23:55] Hello? [23:55] hi [23:55] hi [23:56] will do now [23:56] oh, thank goodness, can you guys help me with installing stuff in xubuntu? [23:56] like what stuff [23:57] Well, I'm trying to install video and sound drivers [23:57] you mean restricted drivers? [23:57] wmvcodec and libdvdcss2? [23:57] oh no, i mean, for the laptop [23:57] so I could have better resolution and have sound [23:58] HipShot: for sound make sure you have alsa selected in the volume manager [23:58] the drivers provided don't work for this gateway laptop [23:59] well, i went and drivers to download [23:59] but I don't know how to run them [23:59] it ends in .run
