[08:48] <Voyage_> i want to use a proxy for every protocol and port, specially for 80 and 8080 for all applications. how can i setup it?
[08:49] <Voyage_> i have the proxy ip
[08:53] <siggjen> you should look into iptables
[09:02] <Voyage_>  how can i use a proxy for downloads by adept package manager?
[10:12] <hyakuhei> Hey all, There is some service running in Gnome that picks up my media buttons that isn't running in Xfce... any ideas ? (I have volume hotkeys and media playback hotkeys - Dell Vostro1400)
[11:01] <Voyage_> how can i make adept package manager to use a proxy on port 8080?
[11:03] <siggjen> use iptables
[11:05] <Voyage_> how
[11:05] <Voyage_> well iam in kubuntu. let say apt. or lets say i want all applications to use my.ip.proxy.net:8080  . how to do it?
[11:06] <siggjen> google proxy iptables
[11:06] <siggjen> you should find lots of examples
[11:06]  * Voyage_ waits for an answer
[11:06] <Voyage_> ok
[11:15] <Voyage_>  i did that and i can browse by my.proxy.com:8080 but i can use other apps like apt. that still uses port80.............
[11:16] <siggjen> you did alter iptables?
[11:20] <Voyage_> no
[11:20] <Voyage_> how to do that
[11:20] <siggjen> strange that no hit on google could tell you
[11:29] <Voyage_> any one have any info about ircd apps?
[11:30] <siggjen> irc daemons?
[11:43] <Voyage_> i cant compare hybrid ratbox and inspircd . need max stability/security and max features. and easy one.. any suggestions?
[11:43] <Voyage_> ya
[11:49] <Voyage_> ?
[11:59] <Voyage_> ?
[14:27] <Voyage_> how muchdollars will cost me for a minimum dedi server?
[14:28] <th0r> Voyage_, you can make a server out of just about any computer....it is a good way to recycle older computers
[14:42] <PsynoKhi0> Hi, is anyone familiar with the Load_Cycle_Count issue here?
[14:43] <Ven]n^> ive installed planetpenguin-racer with apt-get but nothing happens when i click on it in the menu.. any ideas?
[15:01] <Ven]n^> *** ppracer error: Couldn't initialize video: No video mode large enough for 800x600 (Success)
[15:03] <Ven]n^> solved it
[15:51] <age6racer> Hi all I'm having trouble with my desktop. xfce can't seem to keep control of it and as soon as I change it back it just loses it again. I have no icons or right click menus it's really annoying.
[16:14] <soldats> are you sure your saving sessions on logout. make sure you have the "allow xfce to manage the desktop" and the "save sessions on logout" checked then log out then in and check
[16:14] <soldats> hmm i hate it when people ask a question the leave within a few minutes of no answer
[17:28] <Noob_J> Hello!
[17:29] <Noob_J> 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] <Dave> 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] <nikolam> 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] <march> Hallo :D
[20:07] <leche> Hallo March
[20:17] <PsynoKhi0> Hi, is anyone here familiar with the Load_Cycle_Count issue on laptops?
[20:56] <Angelus_> Hi all!
[20:56] <Angelus_> Can anyone help me with a network problem? :)
[20:56] <PsynoKhi0> Hi, maybe
[20:56] <Angelus_> cool!
[20:57] <Angelus_> well i guess you'll hate hearing this, but it was working fine yesterday
[20:57] <Angelus_> i've got a xubuntu box set up with a wired ethernet connection
[20:57] <Angelus_> i can't see the internet on it 0.o
[20:58] <Angelus_> it looks like the DNS lookup is broken
[20:58] <Angelus_> when i do pings with symbolic addresses nothing happens
[20:58] <Angelus_> with IP addresses it returns 0 success, but at least it starts pinging
[20:58] <Angelus_> i tried ifdown -a and ifup -a
[20:59] <Angelus_> also i've tried setting the DNS server by hand in resolv.conf
[20:59] <Angelus_> no joy
[20:59] <Angelus_> any clue?
[20:59] <PsynoKhi0> dhclient?
[20:59] <PsynoKhi0> sudo dhclient eth0
[21:00] <Angelus_> done.
[21:00] <Angelus_> bound to a LAN ip
[21:00] <Angelus_> it shows up on my router too
[21:00] <Angelus_> lookups still borked
[21:00] <siggjen> can you ping the router?
[21:01] <Angelus_> zip
[21:01] <Angelus_> no result
[21:01] <siggjen> what ip did you get?
[21:01] <siggjen> ifconfig
[21:02] <Angelus_> 192.168.1.8
[21:02] <Angelus_> i set it up on purpose on my router
[21:02] <siggjen> sounds ok
[21:02] <siggjen> and router is 192.168.1.1 ?
[21:02] <Angelus_> something like that :)
[21:02] <Angelus_> 192.168.1.254
[21:03] <Angelus_> i'm on my mac on the wireless LAN
[21:03] <Angelus_> and its working fine
[21:03] <Angelus_> access the router ok as well
[21:03] <Angelus_> i just checked my NAT tables on the router
[21:03] <siggjen> you are sure the cables are ok and plugged in?
[21:03] <Angelus_> yeah
[21:04] <Angelus_> its connecting with the router
[21:04] <siggjen> any firewall running?
[21:04] <Angelus_> otherwise it wouldnt be getting the DHCP permanent address that i set
[21:04] <Angelus_> its just a default xubuntu install
[21:04] <siggjen> strange
[21:04] <Angelus_> yeah
[21:06] <Angelus_> you're right about it looking like a firewall problem
[21:06] <Angelus_> 0.o
[21:06] <Angelus_> any clue?
[21:06] <siggjen> iptables -L
[21:07] <Angelus_> ACCEPT 0 -- anywhere anywhere
[21:07] <Angelus_> that's the chain for OUTPUT
[21:08] <siggjen> try iptables -F
[21:08] <siggjen> but sould be ok anyway
[21:08] <Angelus_> nothing
[21:09] <Angelus_> ...
[21:09] <Angelus_> okay don't hit me, but i think i found the problem
[21:09] <Angelus_> one sec
[21:10] <siggjen> i believe that was several d:
[21:10] <Angelus_> nope just one.
[21:11] <Angelus_> stupid moblock on a rampage. i must have left it running last night.
[21:11] <Angelus_> it was stopping everything :(
[21:11] <siggjen> moblock?
[21:12] <Angelus_> peerguardian alternative
[21:12] <Angelus_> for linux
[21:12] <Angelus_> gah
[21:12] <Angelus_> must uninstall it
[21:13] <siggjen> aaaah
[21:13] <Angelus_> sorry
[21:13] <Angelus_> <-- st00p0d
[21:13] <siggjen> well it's got firewallish qualities d:
[21:14] <Angelus_> * sigh *
[21:15] <Angelus_> hrm
[21:15] <Angelus_> ooh i remember
[21:15] <Angelus_> where's the default system beep sound on xubuntu
[21:15] <Angelus_> i have a software that's supposed to beep me when it receives an event from a telnet session
[21:15] <Angelus_> but i can't find a place to set the default beep 0.o
[21:16] <Angelus_> so its just. silence..
[21:16] <siggjen> i like silence
[21:17] <Angelus_> i need the beep
[21:17] <Angelus_> :P
[21:17] <siggjen> i start to understand that now d:
[21:18] <Angelus_> sorry
[21:18] <Angelus_> didn't mean to be rude
[21:18] <Angelus_> but i've been trying to find a place to set the default system beep for hours
[21:18] <siggjen> you're not rude
[21:19] <Angelus_> xubuntu doens't have it for some reason
[21:19] <siggjen> i'm not in xubuntu atm so i can't help you search
[21:19] <Angelus_> oh
[21:19] <Angelus_> :)
[21:29] <PsynoKhi0> what should a script to turn of cpu frequency scaling when launching a specific app look like?
[21:29] <PsynoKhi0> turn off*
[21:45] <Angelus_> thanks siggjen :)
[21:45] <Angelus_> now to fix the beepage and the silly moblock problem
[21:46] <siggjen> good luck
[21:47] <Angelus_> :)
[21:51] <PsynoKhi0> darnit this harddrive stuff is getting on my nerves
[21:52] <siggjen> harddrive?
[21:52] <PsynoKhi0> yes, hdd in a laptop
[21:53] <siggjen> well there should be a fix for that?
[21:53] <PsynoKhi0> yes there should be however it's not working here, apparently
[21:54] <PsynoKhi0> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=591503
[21:54] <siggjen> that's no good
[21:54] <PsynoKhi0> 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] <PsynoKhi0> though I wonder if I should have hdparm activated under "Services"
[22:12] <chris710> hi
[22:12] <Angelus_> hi!
[22:14] <chris710> how can i make konqueror the default file explorer?
[22:15] <chris710> cos i downloaded it and i don't want thunar...
[22:17] <chris710> ??
[22:30] <march> Does anyone know if there exists a deb for Thunar 0.9? I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon. I tried to compile libexo but it didn't work :( So I can't compile Thunar...
[22:39] <siggjen> march: try to install it from repositories instead of compiling yourself
[22:39] <march> thanks - I'll try that :)
[22:40] <siggjen> maybe it's in the hardy release
[22:40] <march> Yes - it ist.
[22:41] <siggjen> then you can either upgrade now and take instability, or just wait till it's finished
[22:51] <Rayo> is there any way to add extra applets to the xfce panels? similar to third-party windows vista sidebar applications...
[23:01] <soldats> rclick the panel and choose add
[23:02] <Rayo> no...
[23:02] <Rayo> is it possible to add third-party applets to that list?
[23:08] <march> I'll better wait siggjen. :)
[23:29] <WebGuest1> hello
[23:29] <soldats> !hi
[23:29] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu!
[23:29] <WebGuest1> Thanks.
[23:30] <WebGuest1> I poped in looking for a quick answer to a probably stupid question
[23:30] <Rayo> if you know it's stupid, please don't ask
[23:31] <soldats> no, the ubuntu community prides itself helping everyone
[23:31] <WebGuest1> 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] <WebGuest1> naw it's probably just stupid bucause I just over looked the answer inmy own searching
[23:32] <Rayo> no.
[23:33] <soldats> it runs from the livecd only
[23:33] <Rayo> somebody ban him
[23:33] <WebGuest1> cool didn't think it would but just wanted to check. Thanks
[23:34] <soldats> np :)
[23:37] <WebGuest1> What do most consider the best distro option for running from a CDRW or saving to another external source? Like Puppy.
[23:40] <soldats> WebGuest1: anything you feel comfortable with
[23:40] <Rayo> somebody plz ban him =\
[23:41] <WebGuest1> why? theis is where your suposed to go for help...Right?
[23:41] <Rayo> no, not that kind of help...
[23:42] <soldats> WebGuest1: do you use xubuntu?
[23:44] <WebGuest1> 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] <WebGuest1> 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] <soldats> awesome well i hope you stick with it.
[23:47] <soldats> 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] <soldats> WebGuest1: uhh thats to you^^
[23:49] <WebGuest1> np
[23:49] <Angelus_> hey guys
[23:49] <Angelus_> anyone know where i can set the system beep?
[23:49] <Angelus_> i have a piece of software that calls the default system beep but there's no sound because its not set
[23:49] <Angelus_> and i can't find where its supposed to be set up in xubunty
[23:50] <Angelus_> in xfce there's xfSound i think
[23:51] <soldats> what app and system beep in what terminal?
[23:51] <Angelus_> its a java app i wrote
[23:51] <soldats> ahh
[23:51] <Angelus_> its supposed to beep with the system beep
[23:51] <Angelus_> because it calls the default sound bell
[23:52] <Angelus_> but for some reason i can't find where in xubuntu this sound is set. and i think its disabled by default
[23:52] <Angelus_> it works in KDE and gnome :(
[23:52] <Angelus_> so its not an API thing
[23:52] <WebGuest1> 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] <soldats> WebGuest1: yes
[23:53] <WebGuest1> cool.
[23:53] <Angelus_> WebGuest1: yes. there's eeexubuntu which can do it for you automatically as well
[23:53] <soldats> Angelus_: gotcha. i think at one point i set my system bell to off but i cant remember where.
[23:54] <Angelus_> soldats: nod. Kinda frustrating
[23:55] <soldats> wish i could be more help. have you asked in #xfce yet
[23:55] <WebGuest1> All right thank you both for putting up with me.
[23:55] <soldats> WebGuest1: no problem
[23:55] <HipShot> Hello?
[23:55] <soldats> hi
[23:55] <Angelus_> hi
[23:56] <Angelus_> will do now
[23:56] <HipShot> oh, thank goodness, can you guys help me with installing stuff in xubuntu?
[23:56] <soldats> like what stuff
[23:57] <HipShot> Well, I'm trying to install video and sound drivers
[23:57] <Angelus_> you mean restricted drivers?
[23:57] <Angelus_> wmvcodec and libdvdcss2?
[23:57] <HipShot> oh no, i mean, for the laptop
[23:57] <HipShot> so I could have better resolution and have sound
[23:58] <soldats> HipShot: for sound make sure you have alsa selected in the volume manager
[23:58] <HipShot> the drivers provided don't work for this gateway laptop
[23:59] <HipShot> well, i went and drivers to download
[23:59] <HipShot> but I don't know how to run them
[23:59] <HipShot> it ends in .run
