| xtrailz | hi, anyone got a link to a page showing how to get compiz-fusion running on Xubuntu ? i've googled but much of the info seems out-of-date | 17:53 |
| TheSheep | xtrailz: just use the fusion-icon to switch the managers | 17:55 |
| siggjen | there is atleast 2 relevant hits when googling compiz xubuntu | 17:55 |
| siggjen | among top 5 | 17:55 |
| siggjen | i prefer this one: http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/12/09/xubuntu-compiz-pretty-pretty-xubuntu/ | 17:56 |
| xtrailz | i tried it on my desktop (nvidia) but there seemed to be a conflict between Xfce and Compiz when switching. Had to disable Xfce compositing completely to get it working at all. was using compiz --replace at the time. | 17:57 |
| siggjen | i've had no problems with compiz on nvidia | 17:58 |
| xtrailz | thx. i'll follow the blog post and see how it goes this time | 17:59 |
| TheSheep | xtrailz: if you use nvidia, you need to add a line to your xorg.conf | 18:00 |
| TheSheep | xtrailz: ask about it at the compiz channel | 18:00 |
| TheSheep | !compiz | xtrailz | 18:00 |
| ubotu | xtrailz: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 18:00 |
| siggjen | TheSheep: which change? i can't recall any change in X | 18:02 |

| matteo_ | I have a problem I want my audio cd icon appear when I insert it like data cdrom | 18:43 |
| matteo_ | could someone help me? | 18:43 |
| zoredache | matteo_: I don't believe that it is possible... What would you expect if it did show up as an icon? | 18:44 |
| zoredache | you can't mount an audio cd | 18:44 |
| matteo_ | I can't explore it like data cd? | 18:45 |
| zoredache | no, it doesn't have a filesystem | 18:45 |
| matteo_ | ok u are right sorry but Im nwb | 18:46 |
| matteo_ | I would like to create a launcher icon that load files in xmms | 18:46 |
| zoredache | can xmms even play a cd? | 18:48 |
| TheSheep | zoredache: yes it can, it has a cd plugin | 18:54 |
| culb | why would i have 8 network monitors? | 18:57 |
| ere4si | !info aria2 | 19:00 |
| ubotu | aria2 (source: aria2): High speed download utility. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11.0-1 (gutsy), package size 565 kB, installed size 1488 kB | 19:00 |
| zoredache | TheSheep: ah. neat... | 19:02 |
| zoredache | matteo_: so you could make a launcher with a command like this "xmms /dev/cdrom" | 19:02 |
| TheSheep | I think the command is different | 19:03 |
| TheSheep | not sure, don't have xmms installed | 19:03 |
| zoredache | TheSheep: I am pretty sure it is right... I had just tested it | 19:07 |
| TheSheep | zoredache: great, I faintly remember there was some special option for loadig cds | 19:08 |
| matteo_ | zoredache how ta make a launcher? | 19:10 |
| zoredache | on the desktop, just right-click and choose 'create launcher' | 19:11 |
| zoredache | if you wanted to add to the panel, then right-click and add new item | 19:11 |
| matteo_ | on desktop? | 19:11 |
| matteo_ | a desktop icon | 19:12 |
| zoredache | yes, to create a launcher on the desktop. right click on the desktop and choose create launcher | 19:12 |
| beakergeek724 | I installed Xubuntu 7.10 for a friend. In his login, running at 800x600, the font for the Applications and File menus keeps changing to something like 9pt. In my login, running at 1024x768, I've had no trouble at all. The only way I was able to get things back was to delete the existing config files. Ideas? | 19:19 |
| TheSheep | beakergeek724: badly detected dpi | 19:24 |
| TheSheep | beakergeek724: http://scanline.ca/dpi/ | 19:24 |
| beakergeek724 | But if it's the DPI being detected incorrectly, wouldn't it affect the size of the other fonts too? Or am I missing something? | 19:26 |
| TheSheep | beakergeek724: wait, you mean it's on the same computer? | 19:27 |
| beakergeek724 | Yes. | 19:27 |
| TheSheep | beakergeek724: technically you can configure dpi per login | 19:27 |
| TheSheep | beakergeek724: in .config/xfce4/xft.conf or some such | 19:27 |
| fiXXXerMet | Can much can I tweak xubuntu? I want to remove as many unnecessary services as possible and as much unneeded programs as possible. I want to make it very fast. | 19:27 |
| TheSheep | fiXXXerMet: you can tweak to your heart's content, until you break it | 19:28 |
| beakergeek724 | TheSheep: I think I tried that, but I can look again. But again, if it were a DPI issue, wouldn't it affect all of the fonts? This problem is only with the fonts in menus. | 19:29 |
| TheSheep | fiXXXerMet: note however that you can't probably make it much faster without losing some functionality -- otherwise the developers would already have done it | 19:29 |
| fiXXXerMet | Only using 85mb of ram... sounds pretty good already | 19:31 |
| ere4si | fiXXXerMet, you can start off with the minimal cd and install fluxbox and only the apps you want and have it smaller and faster | 19:33 |
| fiXXXerMet | ere4si: I will try that - thanks. | 19:34 |
| ere4si | k | 19:34 |
| fiXXXerMet | ere4si: I only see alternate and desktop? | 19:36 |
| ere4si | I'll get the link fiXXXerMet | 19:37 |
| fiXXXerMet | o. | 19:37 |
| fiXXXerMet | k | 19:37 |
| fiXXXerMet | Are you talking about debian? | 19:37 |
| zoredache | perhaps you are looking for https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD ? | 19:38 |
| ere4si | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD - for the disk fiXXXerMet | 19:38 |

| ere4si | have fun! | 19:39 |
| fiXXXerMet | lol... 9.1mb | 19:40 |
| fiXXXerMet | that rocks | 19:40 |
| zoredache | is it normal for an ubuntu package to have build-depends on packages that aren't in the repository? | 20:01 |

| whabo | hello i have the linksys WUSB54G wireless adapter on this computer .... how do i set it up to work wireless???? ANy help would be appreciated .. thank you. | 20:39 |
| Tony89 | I am having a problem. I installed a second hard disk (I used killdisk to completely reformat and delete everything on the new disk). When I boot up the computer, Xubuntu won't go past "Mounting boot drive." The error light on the front of my tower lights up and stays lit. Not sure if this is a hardware or software problem, but does anyone have an idea of why it is doing this? | 20:40 |
| Tony89 | Other important information: When I hooked up the second hard drive it is on the same IDE cable as the CD drive, and in the BIOS it says that the second hard drive is the 2nd master drive. (Before it said that the CD-ROM drive was the second master drive) | 20:41 |
| totalwormage | whabo: would this help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=516649 | 20:41 |
| Tony89 | And when I disconnect the hard disk, everything works fine. | 20:41 |
| totalwormage | you could autodetect your harddisks in the bios | 20:42 |
| Tony89 | That is the way I have it set up, but it still doesn't work. | 20:42 |
| totalwormage | and also you can edit your /etc/fstab, to not try and mount partitions on that disk that aren't there anymory | 20:42 |
| totalwormage | anymore* | 20:42 |
| Tony89 | I never had the hard disk there before, but would it still try and mount the new one? | 20:43 |
| totalwormage | ah oh sorry i didn't read that part about it being new hehe | 20:44 |
| Tony89 | That is why I thought it was odd that it stops working as soon as it attempts to mount the boot drives. | 20:44 |
| totalwormage | Tony89: did you ehm put the second hdd on 'slave' with the jumpers on the back of your harddisk? | 20:45 |
| totalwormage | and your cdrom player on master? | 20:45 |
| totalwormage | or the other way around, but not with two masters? | 20:46 |
| Tony89 | I am a little confused by that... do certain spots on the same IDE cable make one drive master and one slave? | 20:46 |
| zoredache | Tony89: no, there are jumpers... little black plastic things that connect different pins | 20:47 |
| totalwormage | Tony89: yes, on the back of your harddisk and on your cdrom-player there are a few pinns | 20:47 |
| totalwormage | (i mean no indeed :P) | 20:47 |
| zoredache | Tony89: something like http://www.mysuperpc.com/hdu/jumpers_master_closeup_cr.jpg | 20:47 |
| === culb is now known as cbsd | ||
| totalwormage | you should set one on 'master' and the other one on 'slave' | 20:47 |
| === cbsd is now known as ctop | ||
| Tony89 | Let me check that. | 20:48 |
| Tony89 | COuld it be that they are both set for master that would be causing the problems? | 20:48 |
| zoredache | Tony89: yes, if they are both master, or if they are both slaves you will have problems | 20:49 |
| zoredache | on a single ide channel there should only be a master, and a slave | 20:49 |
| zoredache | wifi | whabo | 20:51 |
| zoredache | whabo: it looks like that you'll probably have to go with ndiswrapper for that device | 20:51 |
| Tony89 | Thanks everyone for the help. It is up and working now. | 20:59 |
