| ubotu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 00:44 |
| gNewPower | ok. lemme try this differently: any xubuntu developer here? | 00:45 |
| zoredache | you might want to try #xubuntu-devel | 00:45 |
| gNewPower | ok. I will. I just wanted to thank the people who developed this superb distro. that's all. | 00:45 |
| zoredache | ah, I suspect I would send an email to the maillist or something | 00:47 |
| gNewPower | ok, I might, cheers! | 00:48 |

| Damion | howdy | 04:57 |
| ere4si | !hi | 04:59 |
| ubotu | Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! | 04:59 |
| Damion | How's it going? | 04:59 |
| ere4si | watching the new daniel day-lewis movie atm :) | 05:02 |
| ere4si | it's slow :) | 05:03 |
| Damion | No Country For Old Men? | 05:04 |
| Damion | Still haven't seen that. | 05:04 |
| ere4si | seen that - it's good :) | 05:05 |
| Damion | excellent | 05:07 |
| Damion | argh | 05:07 |
| ere4si | ! | 05:07 |
| Damion | trying to upgrade to xubuntu (from windows 98, hur hur) but the disk image I downloaded via torrent doesn't seem to be a live CD | 05:07 |
| Damion | it doesn't boot and when I try and just click on the exec while the computer is running it stops halfway through and says it doesn't have the necessary files | 05:08 |
| ere4si | the alternate cd? - it installs the same system just does it text based for "lesser" machines | 05:08 |
| Damion | which was odd because I burned it from what should have been a working image | 05:08 |
| ere4si | there should be a md5 check for the cd | 05:09 |
| ere4si | !md5 | 05:09 |
| ubotu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 05:09 |
| Damion | and to confirm, it was a desktop copy | 05:11 |
| Damion | do you have to checksum a image | 05:12 |
| Damion | or can you checksum the CD you downloaded from that image | 05:12 |
| Damion | er, that you burnt | 05:12 |
| ere4si | I md5 the iso - then burn it - then md5 the cd | 05:13 |
| Damion | the iso is on the external hard drive | 05:15 |
| Damion | which is currently connected to the laptop | 05:15 |
| ere4si | you can md5 it | 05:15 |
| Damion | because I was just about ready to start the switch before I realized my CD didn't work | 05:15 |
| Damion | laptop isn't connected to the internet because I only have one cord and no wireless | 05:15 |
| ere4si | ahh | 05:16 |
| Damion | I figured out how to make it run in msdos prompt and it spat a wall of text at me | 05:22 |
| ere4si | windows doesn't like linux | 05:23 |
| ere4si | hehe | 05:23 |
| Damion | there appears to be a lot of no such file or directory's | 05:24 |
| Damion | in the last 9 or so results I can read :V | 05:24 |
| ere4si | windows can't/won/t read linux file systems | 05:24 |
| Damion | the file I got in http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows supposedly was designed for windows | 05:25 |
| Damion | hmmm | 05:25 |
| ere4si | haven't used windows for years - how slow did you burn the cd? | 05:26 |
| Damion | 40x | 05:27 |
| ere4si | os's need to be burnt slow - 4x is what I use | 05:30 |
| Damion | what makes burning an os cd different than any other sort? | 05:31 |
| ere4si | the thousands of files | 05:31 |
| === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache | ||
| zoredache | I love all the stuff people make up to explain varations in the quality of optical drives... | 05:32 |
| ere4si | tell us more zoredache | 05:32 |
| zoredache | how would the number of files make any difference when writing an iso? It isn't dealing with the image as a filesystem it ist just writing one block at a time | 05:33 |
| zoredache | the number of files should be irrelavent... | 05:33 |
| ARZi | any ideas for a good dock on xfce - like awn & cairo | 05:34 |
| ere4si | but each file isn't made to correspond to block sizes zoredache | 05:35 |
| ere4si | ARZi: I use a second panel on the bottom for a dock | 05:35 |
| zoredache | ere4si: still what does that have to do with burning an iso... The empty bits are already calculated when you built the iso... or are you suggesting cd-writers have problems burning zeros? | 05:38 |
| ere4si | zoredache: you're right - keep burning those iso's fast if you want - I don't care | 05:39 |
| Damion | while I'm contemplating the more important stuff, here's another question I've been turning over for a few days | 05:39 |
| Damion | how do you pronounce xubuntu | 05:39 |
| ARZi | ere4si: not a plane panel, but more like avant window navigator (is that the best choice, heard it wasn't compatible) | 05:40 |
| ere4si | ARZi: you need compiz or similar for awn - one min and I'll find one | 05:40 |
| ARZi | Damion: xubuntu [eks-buntu] | 05:41 |
| ARZi | ere4si: ok, i found guides to install compiz but their usually for GNOME | 05:42 |
| Damion | is the u always silent? | 05:42 |
| ere4si | ARZi: gdesklets has he starterbar which is a good dock - has many other widgets as well | 05:43 |
| ere4si | ecksuhhbuntu | 05:43 |
| zoredache | ARZi: do you have a link from another source showing the pronounciation? | 05:44 |
| zoredache | it seems like it would make more sence to say zoobunto (like xylophone). | 05:44 |
| ARZi | ere4si: thx, gonna give it a look | 05:45 |
| ARZi | let me check a online dictionary :b | 05:45 |
| ere4si | ARZi: I use it on my ubuntu box - weather, starterbar, etho inf, cpu etc :) | 05:46 |
| ere4si | ARZi: the install from the gdesklets website is more up to date | 05:46 |
| ARZi | ere4si: ok. this looks great. its got so many stuff | 05:48 |
| ARZi | http://larrythefreesoftwareguy.wordpress.com/2007/03/28/so-how-exactly-do-you-pronounce-xubuntu/ | 05:48 |
| ere4si | ARZi: just beware some is outdated | 05:48 |
| ere4si | rhythmbox stuff is one I found | 05:49 |
| ARZi | install from source, i forget how :p | 05:52 |
| ere4si | ARZi: it should be a .tat.gz file or similar? | 05:53 |
| ARZi | ere4si: yeah, its tar.bz2 | 05:54 |
| ere4si | my typing is bad today - a .tar.z file | 05:54 |
| ere4si | again! | 05:55 |
| ere4si | ARZi: are you ok in a terminal? | 05:55 |
| ARZi | ere4si: i'll be ok i guess | 05:56 |
| ere4si | ARZi: you need to change to the dir that the .tar.bz2 file is in - cd /path/to/file | 05:57 |
| ARZi | ere4si: yeah i got that, now i type .configure .. right ? | 05:58 |
| ere4si | ARZi: nope - tar -xvjf ./filename - where filename = the filename of the .tar.bz2 | 06:00 |
| ARZi | ere4si: i used -> tar xvjf filename.tar.bz2 | 06:03 |
| ARZi | ere4si: ok now it created the folder | 06:03 |
| ere4si | ARZi: open that folder and look for a readme | 06:04 |
| ARZi | ere4si: there | 06:05 |
| ere4si | ARZi: there...? | 06:05 |
| ARZi | ere4si: yeah, i opened it | 06:06 |
| ere4si | ARZi: what did it say? | 06:06 |
| ARZi | ere4si: it says in order to compile gdesklets i have to install python & other lib stuff | 06:07 |
| ere4si | ARZi: most likely that is installed - does it give version numbers for them - and a step after that? | 06:09 |
| Damion | dun dunnn | 06:10 |
| ARZi | ere4si: pythin 2.3 or higher | 06:11 |
| Damion | my cd's checksum does not match the one on the ubuntu wiki | 06:11 |
| ere4si | ARZi: you have that | 06:11 |
| ARZi | ere4si: yeah | 06:11 |
| Damion | so that's probably broken if I've checked it correctly | 06:11 |
| ere4si | ARZi: cd into the folder that was made | 06:11 |
| ARZi | ere4si: then it says to type in | 06:11 |
| Damion | now checking the iso to see if it's problem was similar | 06:11 |
| ARZi | $ ./configure | 06:11 |
| ARZi | $ make | 06:11 |
| ARZi | $ su -c "make install | 06:11 |
| ere4si | k | 06:11 |
| ere4si | ARZi: going ok? | 06:14 |
| Damion | ugh | 06:14 |
| Damion | NEITHER hash matches the one on the ubuntu wiki | 06:14 |
| Damion | but neither hash matches eachother | 06:14 |
| ARZi | hmmm i got a error on ./configure .. | 06:15 |
| ARZi | configure: error: C compiler cannot creat executables | 06:15 |
| ere4si | Damion: the .iso is the one you need to get right first | 06:15 |
| ere4si | ARZi: what was the error? | 06:15 |
| ARZi | ere4si: terminal showed this -> configure: error: C compiler cannot creat executables | 06:16 |
| ARZi | then it stop | 06:16 |
| ere4si | ARZi: you need to install build-essentials to configure packages | 06:16 |
| ere4si | ARZi: it is in synaptics | 06:16 |
| ARZi | ere4si: ok, gonna find it | 06:17 |
| ere4si | k | 06:17 |
| ARZi | ere4si: synaptics wont find anything under -> build-essentials | 06:20 |
| ere4si | one min | 06:20 |
| ere4si | ARZi: are you using gutsy xubuntu? | 06:23 |
| ARZi | ere4si: yes | 06:24 |
| ere4si | ARZi: the package name is build-essential | 06:24 |
| ARZi | ere4si: ok found it :] | 06:25 |
| ere4si | k | 06:25 |
| ere4si | ARZi: install it and do the steps again :) | 06:26 |
| ARZi | ere4si: oh wait, i also need python dev files too | 06:28 |
| ARZi | ere4si: thx for the help, got it running | 06:49 |
| ere4si | good on you - I'll post the reply :) | 06:50 |
| livingdaylight | hi | 07:30 |
| livingdaylight | anyone know whether gnome-do runs on zoobuntu? | 07:30 |
| ere4si | !info gnome-do | 07:35 |
| ubotu | Package gnome-do does not exist in gutsy | 07:35 |
| livingdaylight | ere4si, it will from 8.04 | 07:36 |
| livingdaylight | there is a tutorial for 7.10 http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/03/05/how-to-install-gnome-do/ | 07:36 |
| ere4si | I've never heard of it - what is it supposed to do? | 07:37 |
| livingdaylight | its a bit like kde's Katapult | 07:37 |
| livingdaylight | http://do.davebsd.com/ | 07:37 |
| ere4si | a prog launcher then ? | 07:37 |
| livingdaylight | yes... but more... | 07:37 |
| livingdaylight | click a title of a song and presto | 07:37 |
| ere4si | well xubuntu uses xfce - so it will need lots of dependencies I s'pect | 07:38 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about eeepc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 07:42 |
| ere4si | there is an eeepc channel if that helps... :) | 07:42 |
| livingdaylight | i'm still wondering to remove xandros from eeepc and replace it with zoobuntu or not | 07:42 |
| livingdaylight | maybe wait till 8.04 release | 07:43 |
| ere4si | I would - 3 yrs support and all | 07:43 |
| livingdaylight | i just wondered whether there would be advantages in size of installation with xubuntu vs xandros | 07:45 |
| livingdaylight | although xubuntu is nicer to look at, the xandros install on eeepc was designed for that machine in mind, so wonder if its more optimal in that regard | 07:46 |
| ere4si | I would not know - never seen xandros - what does df -h in a terminal tell you about it ? | 07:46 |
| livingdaylight | the install is about 2gb i think... don't have it in front of me now | 07:47 |

| killown | hi, how I do to purge xfce conf files? | 11:40 |
| KingOfDos | is it possible to hide the mousecursor after login? | 13:23 |
| TheSheep | KingOfDos: you could maybe make a mouse theme with an invisible cursor and select it as the default for that user... | 13:31 |
| KingOfDos | that's possable true. but i want to do it from the console (with a bash script, or based on file content) | 13:32 |
| KingOfDos | on that way my puppet-master can manage all the "information kiosks" | 13:33 |
| TheSheep | no idea | 13:34 |
| KingOfDos | so i can setup a basic ubuntu server installation, and the puppet master forces all applications to be installed. after this make the changes to all the files. | 13:34 |
| KingOfDos | then it's possible to maintain a couple of screens / computers that are sending "company information TV" to the internal coax (tv) | 13:35 |
| KingOfDos | it seems that xsetroot can do this based on scripts :) | 13:43 |

| ubuntu | hi, I'm using Xubuntu 8.04 beta and encountered a problem with the fonts. I changed the font, using xfce's font selector. but the size is not used correctly in most places. | 13:51 |
| ubuntu | for example the logout menu is correct, the settings manager itself is correct | 13:52 |
| ubuntu | but the taskbar, desktop, xchat, firefox, terminal,... they all have big and ugly fonts | 13:53 |
| ubuntu | although it seems like they are using the font I picked "Tahoma", but not the size | 13:53 |
| narothepharoh | how do i get a webcam to work in xubuntu 7.10? | 14:00 |
| KingOfDos | to bad. the xsetroot -cursor option only works "outside" all applications. | 14:08 |
| KingOfDos | i've got firefox running at fullscreen, so the xsetroot -cursor is not an option | 14:08 |
| s_arts | KingOfDos: that is not completely true, it works outside RUNNING applications. | 14:10 |
| s_arts | you are trying to reset the cursor-theme, right? | 14:10 |
| s_arts | sorry, i will shut up | 14:13 |
| KingOfDos | i'm currently trying it with unclutter | 14:13 |
| KingOfDos | and i need to constantly hide the mouse. it's not needed at that device, never needed. | 14:14 |
| KingOfDos | xubuntu is just the base for a fullscreen firefox ;) | 14:14 |
| KingOfDos | unclutter -d :0 -idle 0 -jitter 4000 | 14:18 |

| Ark1_ | hello, i am a newer user to linux and am trying to get my linksys wireless g usb adapter (WUSB54GC) to work with xubuntu. It shows up in the network manager but i cannot connect to my wifi network, using WEP 64. I also tried iwconfig and still it failed. can some1 please help me | 21:32 |
| maxamillion | !wifi | 21:32 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 21:33 |
| maxamillion | Ark1_: ^^^^^ that link is a good place to start, there should be a listing of supported wireless cards with documentation of how to get them working | 21:33 |
| Ark1_ | well i know it works | 21:33 |
| Ark1_ | i can see my neighbors network | 21:33 |
| maxamillion | oh | 21:33 |
| Ark1_ | but it wont work with mine | 21:33 |
| Ark1_ | and i no i works with ubuntu cuz i have it working with kubuntu | 21:34 |
| maxamillion | Ark1_: what application are you using as your wifi manager? | 21:34 |
| Ark1_ | the netapp that came with it | 21:34 |
| Ark1_ | applications->system->network | 21:34 |
| maxamillion | Ark1_: ah, ok ... we will need to get you network-manager-gnome (i know the name says gnome, but gnome isn't required ... it just uses some gnome libraries) | 21:35 |
| Ark1_ | okay, ill do that brb | 21:36 |
| Ark1_ | o btw does apt-get work with xubuntu? | 21:36 |
| maxamillion | Ark1_: do 'sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome' and then you will need to add 'nm-applet' to the auto started applications | 21:36 |
| ere4si | yep | 21:36 |
| maxamillion | yes | 21:36 |
| maxamillion | Ark1_: nm-applet is the panel applet that comes with the network-manager-gnome package, and that will show you the surrounding wifi networks as well as handle the encryption negotiation for you | 21:37 |
| Ark1_ | okay done | 21:38 |
| Ark1_ | i see the applet | 21:38 |
| maxamillion | Ark1_: awesome, now you just be able to click on the applet and go from there | 21:38 |
| maxamillion | Ark1_: if you see the applet already without adding it to auto start then you probably don't need to add it to auto-start, the packager of the application probably set it to modify that setting on install | 21:39 |
| Ark1_ | what is the diff between a shared or open key? | 21:39 |
| Ark1_ | err open system and shared key | 21:40 |
| zoredache | an 'open system' has no encryption | 21:40 |
| maxamillion | open system doesn't have en.... nvm | 21:40 |
| Ark1_ | okay testing it | 21:42 |
| Ark1_ | didnt work | 21:42 |
| Ark1_ | it just closed and reverted to my wired connection | 21:43 |
| maxamillion | really? | 21:43 |
| maxamillion | strange | 21:43 |
| Ark1_ | ya | 21:43 |
| zoredache | disconnect your wire | 21:43 |
| Ark1_ | hold then ill have to reconnect here | 21:43 |
| zoredache | I believe network-manager will prefer an ethernet conection if it is available | 21:43 |
| Ark1 | okay | 21:44 |
| Ark1 | ill test it now | 21:44 |
| Ark1 | it failed | 21:50 |
| Ark1 | could not connect | 21:50 |
| zoredache | with the network cable disconnected did you try clicking on the icon in the tray? | 21:51 |
| Ark1 | yes | 21:52 |
| zoredache | have you done anything on your access point to hide things? | 21:52 |
| Ark1 | i entered all the info it asked for | 21:52 |
| Ark1 | the network never shows up when you are roaming for it | 21:52 |
| zoredache | if it detects your network properly you shouldn't have to enter anything other then the key | 21:52 |
| Ark1 | you always have to know the essid before it will even show up for some reason | 21:52 |
| zoredache | if you have blocked SSID broadcasting on your access point then you are just making your life difficult | 21:53 |
| zoredache | there should be a checkbox somewhere to broadcast the ssid | 21:53 |
| Ark1 | i no but i have no idea how to change it and its worked so far for kubunu | 21:53 |
| Ark1 | where | 21:53 |
| zoredache | You would probably have to check the docs for the access point... | 21:54 |
| Ark1 | is there anyway to do it without doing all that | 21:55 |
| zoredache | probably, I don't know how | 21:56 |
| zoredache | I usually take the time to make the access point broadcast because it also makes your connection more reliable | 21:56 |

| SKS | hi at all... | 22:06 |
| maxamillion | hello | 22:06 |
| SKS | i have a pc with celeron 1133mhz ad 400mb ram... i have installed xubuntu from live cd and it is damn slow... | 22:07 |
| maxamillion | SKS: really? | 22:07 |
| SKS | from top my cpu is used 4.32 | 22:07 |
| maxamillion | SKS: i've run it on much less hardware than that and its awesome | 22:07 |
| maxamillion | SKS: what about it is slow/ | 22:08 |
| maxamillion | ?* | 22:08 |
| SKS | it is more than ubuntu or kubuntu... my cpu is always over 3.00 | 22:08 |
| SKS | <maxamillion>: from top | 22:09 |
| maxamillion | SKS: that doesn't tell me anything | 22:09 |
| maxamillion | SKS: what is slow? is it an application? is your mouse laggy? etc... | 22:09 |
| SKS | it uses about 70% for xorg... | 22:10 |
| maxamillion | SKS: yeah, you probably have the wrong driver in xorg | 22:10 |
| maxamillion | SKS: what graphics card do you have? | 22:10 |
| SKS | i have a intel built in chip (notebook) and i have installed the driver fron intallation cd... | 22:10 |
| SKS | this pc is used only as router and emule... | 22:11 |
| SKS | and i'm not interested in graphic performance... | 22:12 |
| zoredache | why install a gui at all? | 22:12 |
| zoredache | and why use a livecd for a router? don't you want something a bit more permanent? | 22:13 |
| SKS | i ahve to use emule from wine... (windows version find more resources.. i have tried amuled for 2 month) | 22:13 |
| SKS | no, xubuntu is installed on the hard disk from live cd... | 22:13 |
| zoredache | ah, my mistake | 22:14 |
| SKS | it is strange... ubuntu is faster, but create problem on the ram (400mb is to small and paging a lot) | 22:14 |
| SKS | xubuntu is good for ram, but cpu is always at 300% | 22:15 |
| SKS | there is a way to make xorg more light? | 22:15 |
| zoredache | yeah, get rid of the windows manager all together and | 22:16 |
| zoredache | but xorg by itself shouldn't be taking up 70% of the cpu... | 22:16 |
| zoredache | I have seen other people mention a few bugs related to intel and xorg memory leaks though | 22:17 |
| SKS | i see it from "top"... | 22:17 |
| zoredache | have you tried with a vesa driver | 22:17 |
| SKS | is the most cpu using process... | 22:17 |
| SKS | how i can change it? | 22:17 |
| SKS | change to vesa driver (i mean) | 22:18 |
| zoredache | dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 22:18 |
| zoredache | put an sudo in there if you aren't at a root shell by the way | 22:18 |
| SKS | ok i'm tring | 22:20 |
| SKS | <zoredache>: i have to restart to make modifications active? | 22:37 |
| zoredache | yes | 22:38 |
| SKS | there is a way for restart only xorg? | 22:39 |
| SKS | not the pc... | 22:39 |
| zoredache | just log out and then press ctrl-alt-backspace | 22:39 |
| SKS | ok thanks i try... | 22:41 |
| crazy_bus | I have a older computer which has trouble loading all the livecd's I've tried. Should I download the xubuntu livecd to try or will it probably just work if I install it off the alternate cd. (there is 140mbs of ram) | 23:44 |
| jdk1976 | hello fellow 'nix-ers. I am looking for a colorful init script for ubuntu, but haven't found very good information in google yet. I want the old kind that knoppix and mandrake used instead of a bootsplash screen | 23:45 |
| zoredache | the install should complete from the alternatecd... 140 is on the lean side though if you want to actually use stuff | 23:45 |
| crazy_bus | is there a better distro for 140mbs? | 23:46 |
| zoredache | well it is less about 'distro' and more about which windows manager and applicationss you install | 23:47 |
| TMN | xubuntu on my 128mb computer is pretty sluggish | 23:47 |
| zoredache | crazy_bus: there is a section on the wiki about installing a gui on low memory systems... I believe the suggest some of the lower-footprint window managers | 23:49 |
| jdk1976 | runs pretty good on this one (same ram) | 23:49 |
| jdk1976 | i use openbox when i run google earth or celestia | 23:49 |
| zoredache | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems | 23:50 |
| crazy_bus | thanks everyone. I'll probably try fluxbuntu and see if that works | 23:52 |
