[00:07] <bloody`> hey guys ,my laptop just froze, xubuntu, does it in ubuntu, for no reason i know of.
[00:11] <thebear1331> hey maxamillion, do you know how to get fluxbox to prompt me to login as root when I try to use synaptic, like it does in XFCE?
[00:13] <ppe> Aargh.
[00:14] <ron_o> the bear, there's a command that brings up a gui when you want to login to root.. but I forget what that is.
[00:14] <bloody`> alt ctrl f7
[00:14] <ron_o> you'd need to create a link like that or type it in via 'run program'
[00:18] <zoredache> ron_o: gksu
[00:18] <ron_o> yah. :)
[00:18] <zoredache> gksu whatever...
[00:18] <ron_o> it's been awhile.
[00:19] <ppe> How to I format /dev/sdc as FAT32?
[00:19] <ppe> Or just format it in any way.'
[00:19] <ron_o> ppe you can either use gparted or you can look up the command for that.
[00:20] <ron_o> as long as your partition isn't mounted.
[00:20] <ppe> I'll check out gparted, I am having no luck with the commands.
[00:20] <ron_o> hehe, good enough.
[00:20] <ron_o> gparted is simple.
[00:20] <ppe> What? But if it isn't mounted, I can't see it ?
[00:20] <ron_o> you'll see it in gparted and you can see it in your terminal
[00:22] <ppe> Now I can't unmount it :/
[00:22] <ron_o> just type in $sudo cfdisk to see your partitions.
[00:22] <ron_o> you can't #umount /dev/sdc ??
[00:23] <ppe> Oh, umount.
[00:23] <ppe> I was spelling it correctly.
[00:23] <ron_o> you mean incorrectly. ;->
[00:23] <ron_o> just confusing ya.
[00:24] <Tu13es> anyone know how to change the DPI in xubuntu?
[00:25] <ppe> ron_o, it keeps saying that the device is busy.
[00:25] <ppe> Busy being annoying, that's what I say!
[00:25] <zoredache> you could simply rebot
[00:25] <zoredache> reboot*
[00:25] <ppe> true.
[00:25] <ron_o> it's busy if you are using the partition in any way.
[00:25] <ron_o> don't reboot.
[00:25] <ron_o> learn why it's busy.
[00:26] <ppe> Argh.
[00:26] <ppe> Wait.
[00:26] <ron_o> you could just be casually using your terminal and be in there.
[00:26] <ron_o> busy doesn't mean much.
[00:26] <ppe> That's what I thought.
[00:26] <ppe> But I'm not.
[00:26] <ron_o> you're in there somehow.
[00:26] <ron_o> close your terminal.
[00:27] <NBrepresent> Hi, when i start a movie in Totem, i get an error "The audio device is in use"
[00:27] <ron_o> close your file manaer.
[00:27] <NBrepresent> how do i test/check audio settings?
[00:27] <ppe> I clicked the x.
[00:27] <ppe> Are programs still running when I hit the 'x' ?
[00:27] <ron_o> you mean you closed the window?
[00:27] <zoredache> ppe:  if something got started in the background then yes, it is possible
[00:28] <ron_o> NBrepresent, I had the same problem until I looked up what to do to have multiple applications using your sound card.
[00:28] <ppe> NBrepresent, adding the 'Volume Control' thing in your Panel Bar, then right-clicking that to see what audio device the software is using.
[00:28] <ron_o> I haven't had that issue again.
[00:28] <ppe> ron_o, Yeah, I closed the window.
[00:28] <hackhalotwo> can WINE play win98 games?
[00:29] <ron_o> NBrepresent, if you were to logout and then log back in, you would cease to hvae that problem until something grabbed your sound card again and didn't let it go.
[00:29] <NBrepresent> the properties just says Device: default
[00:29] <zoredache> hackhalotwo: some, but you'll get a better answer in a wine channel/forum
[00:29] <ron_o> NBrepresent, have you ever had sound before?
[00:29] <NBrepresent> i haven't tested that yet
[00:29] <hackhalotwo> ok
[00:29] <NBrepresent> i'm just setting this comp up for the first time, sort of
[00:30] <ppe> Yeah, me too.
[00:31] <ron_o> ppe, did you start gparted yet?
[00:31] <ron_o> or you can't umount your partition?
[00:31] <Azalar_> anyone know why xfce-desktop would crash when you right click on it
[00:31] <ppe> I restarted, but I'll start it in a sec.
[00:32] <ppe> So where is gparted?
[00:32] <ppe> Actually, couldn't I just run it from console ?
[00:32] <Tu13es> hmm
[00:32] <Tu13es> my fonts all look bigger than they should
[00:32] <ron_o> you have to download gparted with synaptic.
[00:32] <Tu13es> I'm confused
[00:32] <ppe> ah, ok
[00:34] <Azalar_> why is xfce so flaky
[00:35] <NBrepresent> is there any kind of sound diagnostic package i can get?
[00:35] <ron_o> NBrepresent, not that I know of.
[00:35] <ron_o> I think I downloaded ALSA
[00:35] <ron_o> make sure you have the ALSA package.
[00:36] <NBrepresent> k
[00:36] <ron_o> IMHO< this shit should be taken care of to begin with.
[00:36] <NBrepresent> word!
[00:36] <ron_o> make sure your applications all use ALSA if they allow you to choose.
[00:36] <ron_o> Azalar_, I don't know if it's so flaky..
[00:36] <ron_o> however, it could be something else.
[00:37] <NBrepresent> does anyone know how to make drag and drop MOVE files instead of copy them?
[00:37] <ron_o> maybe you're hardware? don't know. Could be anything.
[00:37] <ron_o> NBrepresent, you can do that with your file manager.
[00:37] <ron_o> it's just like Windows.
[00:37] <NBrepresent> i couldn't find the preference for it
[00:37] <Azalar_> kubuntu same version runs without stuff crashing
[00:38] <zoredache> NBrepresent: drag and drop does move if both the source and dest are on the same volume I believe
[00:39] <NBrepresent> hm, maybe just not from the desktop then
[00:39] <NBrepresent> because i definitely can't drag and drop and move files from the desktop to, for example, my home folder
[00:39] <zoredache> but I have seen some inconsistancies here and there about when it chooses to move, and when it chosses to copy
[00:39] <NBrepresent> it copies, then i have to delete the one on the desktop
[00:39] <ron_o> Azalar_, sorry.. maybe you should stick with Kubuntu or Ubuntu.
[00:40] <zoredache> NBrepresent: if you hold down the shift key when dragging you should get the move effect though
[00:41] <Azalar_> got an old machine though so thought i'd give xubuntu a try, doesnt look like it was ready for release yet though, more like alpha software
[00:41] <ppe> Okay, I've formatted my 4GB USB Stick to FAT32.
[00:42] <zoredache> Azalar_: do you have a serious question or just a vague belief that is alpha?
[00:42] <ppe> Now I can't access it, and it says "3GB Removable Volume"
[00:43] <zoredache> ppe: how did you format it again?
[00:43] <ppe> With gparted
[00:44] <zoredache> and you made a partition, and formated the partition as fat32?
[00:44] <ppe> I took the entire flash-drive and pressed "format to > fat32".
[00:45] <zoredache> I believe he hal has filters that won't let you mount a file system that is directly on a device... I am pretty sure it expects you to have created partitions
[00:45] <zoredache> I know you wouldn't be able to mount it under windows if you didn't create a partition
[00:47] <Azalar_> yeah my question was why would xfce-desktop crash just by right clicking on it
[00:47] <ppe> My answer would be that it doesn't.
[00:47] <ppe> Let's agree to disagree ?
[00:47] <zoredache> Azalar_: obviously it shouldn't do that... as to 'why', there is probably a bug somewhere...
[00:50] <Azalar_> ok np, i'll give fluxbuntu a go instead, thanks anyway
[01:07] <hackhalotwo> is there a good Virtual Drive program for Linx?
[01:18] <hackhalotwo> dont answer that, i figured it out
[01:46] <NBrepresent> hey, i'm looking for sound card help if anyone's around? aplay -l gives "no soundcards found"
[02:24] <michaelkyle> hi how can i change my desktop resolution, i installed and i got 800x600 only and i cant change it, atleast trough "display" in Xfce desktop configuration
[02:24] <michaelkyle> i want to change it to 1024x768
[03:22] <michaelkyle> how come that in livecd xfce was entriely on spanish and now that i installed it is Spanglish.,.. :s

[08:04] <sonicreindeer> Good eve to all in this chat re: a broken bootloader with Feisty.
[08:05] <sonicreindeer> I am attempting to repair a broken Xubuntu Feisty system. I was testing a dual-boot scenario last evening within my Mac Jaguar partition while loading OS 9.2.2 on top of the desktop as a separate app( ie; running Classic on top of Jaguar ). Little did I realize how the Classic sys files overwrote the files within the bootloader in the MBR for me to access my Feisty drive separate from my Mac drive. Can't boot to Feisty
[08:06] <sonicreindeer> The specs of my box are as follows:  1st Generation G4/ 400 PPC( Sawtooth ) w/ 896 MB of RAM, a factory 20 Gig drive is running Jaguar w/ a separate 40 GB Maxtor running my beloved Feisty. Attempted the upgrade from feisty iinto Gutsy, but, my box didn't like it much.
[08:07] <sonicreindeer> I spent over three months configgin' Feisty the way I personally want for it to run. Although the upgrade has crossed my mind several times over, I'm keepin' Feisty. Convince me otherwise w/ the right ISO link w/ all of the first-run bugs worked out of Gutsy.
[08:08] <MICHAELKYLE> u... thats not good, i have no idea but if overwrites the files of mbr the most logical and i gues uve thought of that too, its to find a way of just reinstall the mbr of xubuntu
[08:08] <MICHAELKYLE> although i havent heard about such a thing ever :)
[08:09] <MICHAELKYLE> and btw, heres not the best place to ask hehe, ppl here  dont know about anything, copy all that and paste it on #ubuntu, theres more users there, and theyre more serious
[08:09] <sonicreindeer> I know. this is a first for me, as well. I was just using my box as a guinea pig, if you will, for a virtual dual-boot oon a client's G3/ 700 iMac.
[08:10] <sonicreindeer> Kewl. I'll just hop over there with my issue. Thank you kindly for the ear.
[08:11] <MICHAELKYLE> no problem ;)

[12:45] <NBrepresent> hi, i'm on xubuntu and noticing that the help for gnome applications doesn't work... i guess i need a package (something like gnome-help) but i can't find anything like that in synaptic... what do i need to get help working for gnome apps?
[12:45] <TheSheep> NBrepresent: yelp
[12:45] <NBrepresent> k
[12:46] <NBrepresent> thanks
[13:01] <NBrepresent> also, i've noticed that gnome apps that try to set the desktop wallpaper cannot do it (i'm assuming because the apps are expecting that xfce is not managing the desktop) ... anything i can do about that?

[18:04] <TheSheep> ArmyMan007: how do you connect?
[18:04] <TheSheep> ArmyMan007: with the xp

[18:05] <TheSheep> ArmyMan007: this is wireless network?
[18:06] <ArmyMan007> TheSheep -> yes

[18:07] <ArmyMan007> not through a USB
[18:08] <TheSheep> ArmyMan007: network cable?
[18:08] <TheSheep> ArmyMan007: rj-45?
[18:08] <MatBoy> more people have problems with a unstable XFCE on 7.10 ?
[18:08] <TheSheep> MatBoy: define "unstable"
[18:08] <ArmyMan007> TheSheep -> it's a wireless receiver
[18:09] <TheSheep> ArmyMan007: but how it is connected to the computer?
[18:09] <MatBoy> TheSheep, crashing applications, aplpication menu gone, background menu (right click) not working, this all when running the system for some minutes
[18:09] <TheSheep> MatBoy: sounds pretty back
[18:09] <TheSheep> MatBoy: s/back.bad
[18:09] <ArmyMan007> It's just pluged in the back..
[18:10] <MatBoy> TheSheep, indeed, sorry to say, but I'm going to install KDE now to see what happens
[18:10] <TheSheep> ArmyMan007: how the socket looks like? is it flat and thin?
[18:10] <TheSheep> ArmyMan007: or does it look like a phone plug, only bigger?
[18:10] <MatBoy> or shall I go for gnome ?
[18:10] <ArmyMan007> phone plug kind
[18:10] <TheSheep> ArmyMan007: ok, that's rj45
[18:10] <ArmyMan007> TheSheep -> by the way, sorry for the misunderstanding...
[18:11] <MatBoy> rj45 is 8 poles, rj11 is 4
[18:11] <ArmyMan007> TheSheep -> could you please help me with it?
[18:12] <TheSheep> ArmyMan007: I don't know about how to set up the thing on the windows side
[18:12] <TheSheep> ArmyMan007: you might try asking at ##windows
[18:12] <ArmyMan007> I need to install it on the ubuntu
[18:12] <ArmyMan007> !!!
[18:12] <wbadger> I don't think it requires installing on windows
[18:12] <TheSheep> ArmyMan007: but I can help with the linux side if the other side is set up already
[18:12] <ArmyMan007> TheSheep -> I need to install it on the Xubuntu, not windows...
[18:13] <TheSheep> ArmyMan007: wait, so it's not two computers?
[18:13] <ArmyMan007> TheSheep -> I just need help, step-by-step as to how to configure the internet... from A-Z
[18:13] <ArmyMan007> TheSheep -> I have 2 computers: one I'm talking with you right now (this is the XP), and the other computer has the Xubuntu
[18:14] <wbadger> TheSheep, he said windows comp works, and is connected to a router, which in place is connected to the xubuntu comp
[18:15] <MatBoy> ok, I'm installing gnome now
[18:15]  * TheSheep is confused
[18:15] <MatBoy> man  it **** but I have seen it more with XRFCE
[18:15] <MatBoy> XFCE
[18:15] <wbadger> heh nothing to be confused about
[18:15] <TheSheep> MatBoy: if it won't help, there might be some driver or hardware issue
[18:15] <MatBoy> TheSheep, yap, could be it also... Nvidia maybe >
[18:15] <MatBoy> ?
[18:15] <ArmyMan007> ok... i get it... i'll be back tommarow... :-(
[18:16] <TheSheep> MatBoy: possible
[18:16] <MatBoy> I only run the Nvidia drivers because I like that start-logo :P
[18:16] <TheSheep> MatBoy: try gnome, if it works fine then it's xubuntu
[18:16] <MatBoy> TheSheep, I will let you know...
[18:16] <MatBoy> I'm someone that is sticky to one thing...
[18:16] <MatBoy> man, I don't like to change
[18:16] <TheSheep> MatBoy: nobody likes
[18:17] <MatBoy> TheSheep, no really, I also don;t like new cars

[18:23] <j1mc> MatBoy left, but i just read his notes above now.  it bothers me when people say, "xubuntu (or whatever) stinks" when they are using non-free drivers.
[18:23] <TheSheep> j1mc: he just wanted to get our attention to help him
[18:23] <j1mc> yeah

[18:39] <TheSheep> MatBoy: we don't mind
[18:41] <j1mc> MatBoy: :)  gnome has more user-friendly things that xfce.  it's just a bit slower is all.
[18:41] <MatBoy> j1mc, it's faster here actually :S
[18:41] <MatBoy> TheSheep, ok, I will not leave ;)
[18:42] <j1mc> hrmmmm... o.O
[18:47] <MatBoy> j1mc, man, Gnome is really so much faster on my Q6600 :S

[19:46] <Super_BQ> hi
[19:49] <Super_BQ> i updated kubuntu and after reboot, there is no start menu showing
[19:49] <Super_BQ> it says some dbus power manager didn't start and console showing
[19:57] <j1mc> Super_BQ: can you open a terminal?
[20:32] <rech> hi, since I've updated from 7.04 to 7.10, everytime that message box "enter your password to perform administrative tasks" takes something like 40 seconds to auth my password. It used to be much quicker with 7.04. Do you guys know if  I can re-configure that?
[20:32] <kyp4> can anyone help me with an xubuntu problem I am having?
[20:40] <kyp4> ... guess not
[20:40] <Super_BQ> same here
[20:41] <Super_BQ> I did an update and my xfc4 desktop (pull down menu) application got nuked
[20:41] <Super_BQ> fortunately terminal and vnc works
[20:43] <Super_BQ> i had to rightclick on the top menu bar and manually add Xfce Menu - but somehow the icon of the mouse it shows has an X (meaning error?)
[20:43] <Super_BQ> after reboot - menu still shows up but with the X
[20:44] <Super_BQ> and the annoying dbus error message after every reboot
[20:49] <Super_BQ> ahh i think i've may of fixed 1 bug
[20:49] <Super_BQ> disabled the power manager - don't need it
[23:12] <cheruvim> hey all got a problem
[23:12] <LeAstrale> hi
[23:12] <LeAstrale> :)
[23:12] <cheruvim> I'm trying to post to the forums and they won't let me.. do I have to respond to an email or something
[23:12] <cheruvim> I keep getting this damn screen saying I dont have permissions
[23:12] <cheruvim> yet I see other users posting constantly
[23:13] <LeAstrale> cheruvim: i actually can't remember if you have to activaet the account by email first?
[23:14] <cheruvim> I registered, and then tried to post and I keep getting the damn permissions screen, it's wierd
[23:14] <cheruvim> anyway the reason I'm trying to post to the forums is that I'm trying to use aldo the morse code training program
[23:14] <cheruvim> and I've hit a snag
[23:15] <cheruvim> every time I try to use koch method or block method, it says "can't create mcop directory"
[23:15] <cheruvim> I use it sudo
[23:15] <cheruvim> because it won't run as my user
[23:16] <cheruvim> actually correct that.. it will run but it runs into the same problem
[23:16] <cheruvim> any ideas as to why it can't create a directory even as super user??
[23:17] <cheruvim> according what I've read on the forums so far, it should just go. anyone know if there is a conf file?
[23:18] <LeAstrale> try creating it with sudo mkdir first
[23:18] <LeAstrale> i dunno sry
[23:18] <cheruvim> hmm ok.. I'll try that
[23:19] <cheruvim> I think the problem is that I don't know where it is trying to create this directory
[23:19] <cheruvim> here is the full message?
[23:19] <cheruvim> Creating link /home/cfurst/.kde/socket-cfurst-desktop.
[23:19] <cheruvim> can't create mcop directory
[23:22] <LeAstrale> have you tried asking in the kubuntu channel ?
[23:22] <LeAstrale> are you using Xubuntu ?
[23:23] <LeAstrale> im using kubuntu and i have both ".kde", ".kde4" and ".mcop" hidden in my homefolder
[23:23] <LeAstrale> where you shouldn't need to be root to create folders
[23:24] <cheruvim> I'm using gutsy isn't that gnome by default?
[23:24] <nicola1> Where can I read changelog from 7.10 to 8.04 alpha 6 ? most changes I read were about gnome environmente
[23:24] <cheruvim> maybe its a gnome kde compatibility issue.. I'll check for those folders and their permissions..
[23:24] <LeAstrale> ubuntu gutsy ?
[23:25] <cheruvim> yeah it's the newest one, no?
[23:25] <LeAstrale> it is
[23:28] <cheruvim> GOT IT
[23:29] <cheruvim> I had to create that directory with word rwx permissions.
[23:29] <cheruvim> all
[23:30] <LeAstrale> okay then :)
[23:31] <cheruvim> thanks for the suggestion.. :)
[23:31] <LeAstrale> yw
[23:36] <ere4si> cheruvim, if I try to access the forums from the front page I get the permission prob - I use a link to a post and join from there with no issues
[23:36] <cheruvim> which link?
[23:37] <ere4si> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=333867
[23:43] <cheruvim> hey thanks for the link
[23:43] <cheruvim> turns out I had to activate the account via link in an email
[23:43] <ere4si> k :)
[23:44] <cheruvim> evolution wasn't set up to automatically receive mail... So I didn't see it until I hit da button. OK.. so I'm a noob so sue me.. :-D
[23:44] <LeAstrale> cheruvim: didn't i imply that earlier ?
[23:44] <cheruvim> I thought you said you didn't remember
[23:45] <cheruvim> ok so now I have to learn morse code.
[23:45] <LeAstrale> i might have
[23:45] <LeAstrale> bbl folks
[23:45] <samuel> Hello ppl, I need some help over here. My sound crashes because of wine. I got a nForce2 AC97 chipset. I just want to know how to restart the sound (which mod should I remove with rmmod?, is there another way of restarting sound?) Thanks for help.
[23:46] <ere4si> samuel, you might be better asking that in #winehq...
[23:46] <cheruvim> Thanks for the help everyone... have fun! :)
[23:48] <samuel> well actually my question is not really about wine, but about sound in ubuntu
[23:48] <samuel> but I can try it
[23:48] <ere4si> was it when you installed wine that you lost the sound sanu?
[23:49] <samuel> no
[23:49] <samuel> only when wine crashes
[23:50] <ere4si> samuel, then that's a wine issue I would think - find out why it crashes
[23:50] <ere4si> after a crash - type in a terminal   dmesg | tail
[23:53] <samuel> mmmh no sys error repported. Apparently, wine seems to still use the soundchipset, even if I crashed
[23:53] <samuel> *it
[23:56] <ere4si> try   top   in a terminal to see if after a crash wine is still using resources
[23:57] <samuel> mmmh no, wine is definitely not using resources
[23:58] <samuel> but xmms is not able to play any sound
