| Mannequin | hi, I've written a little shell script that starts-up my wi-fi connection | 00:06 |
|---|---|---|
| Mannequin | it must be run as sudo | 00:06 |
| Mannequin | I would like to know where can I put it so it runs on start-up, both for my gf user and my user | 00:07 |
| zoredache | Mannequin: does it run after the gui is started? | 00:07 |
| zoredache | or does it matter? | 00:08 |
| Mannequin | mmmmm, I think it doesn't matter. All commands are CLI commands | 00:08 |
| Mannequin | like iwconfig and iwpriv | 00:08 |
| zoredache | is the interface built-in to the computer? | 00:09 |
| zoredache | you could update your /etc/network/interfaces file to call the script directly | 00:09 |
| zoredache | anyway since it is network related I would put it in /etc/network | 00:09 |
| zoredache | then either start it with an 'up' cause in the interfaces file or call set it up as an autostart either per user or in at the system level | 00:10 |
| Mannequin | zoredache: yes, the interface is built-in | 00:17 |
| Mannequin | how do I run an script from the interfaces file? | 00:17 |
| TheSheep | custom local scripts should go to /etc/rc.local | 00:17 |
| ron_o | I sort of asked this question before but I still don't know for sure the effect of what I'd like to do. I'm trying to get mplayer rc2 installed. But the repos only have rc1 installed. | 00:22 |
| ron_o | if I install mplayer from a .deb file, can I have two instances of mplayer on my system? | 00:22 |
| ron_o | right now if I remove my one mplayer then other apps I have will be removed as well. | 00:22 |
| ron_o | I'm kind of confused as to how to go about this. | 00:23 |
| j1mc | hm, ron_o ... sorry, i don't know the answer to that one. | 00:23 |
| zoredache | ron_o: there are ways, but is is tricky... there is an option to have a .deb extracted to an alternate directory | 00:23 |
| ron_o | zoredache, yah, that's what I'm after. | 00:23 |
| ron_o | I'll look into that option. | 00:24 |
| ron_o | mplayer was just updated too, but to another version of rc1.. damn. | 00:24 |
| ron_o | so I figure it's going to be a long time for it to get to rc2.. | 00:24 |
| zoredache | ron_o: another option might be to get the source for the package and manually build it so that it will run from the /usr/local directory | 00:26 |
| ron_o | I can do that too. thanks.. :) | 00:26 |
| Lobster | how can I get the settings-manager for compiz in xubuntu? | 00:27 |
| Lobster | oh... nevermind | 00:27 |
| j1mc | Lobster: :) | 00:28 |
| ron_o | hmm, it says here that mplayer rc2 is in multivers: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/mplayer | 00:37 |
| ron_o | I have multiverse.. | 00:37 |
| j1mc | ron_o: are you running the development release of hardy? | 00:38 |
| ron_o | no. | 00:39 |
| j1mc | ron_o: so it looks like rc2 is in hardy (which will be released officially in about a month), but you aren't running that version yet. | 00:40 |
| ron_o | I see. I thought I was. sorry. | 00:40 |
| j1mc | :) np | 00:40 |
| ron_o | a month. I can wait that long. :) | 00:40 |
| j1mc | :) cool. hardy is shaping up pretty nicely, so it should be a good release. at least i think so. :) | 00:41 |
| Stroganoff | where does Thunar store the favorite folder pane? | 00:44 |
| Stroganoff | the folder shortcuts | 00:44 |
| TheSheep | Stroganoff: in ~/.gtk-bookmarks | 00:47 |
| Stroganoff | thx | 00:47 |
| ron_o | the only reason why I wanted mplayer upgraded was because rc2 will fast forward flash and rc1 will not. But vlc does it just fine. I can stand another month here. :) | 00:48 |

| kommer | there must be a way to fix without reinstalling | 02:23 |
| kommer | it's just the resolution which is annoying :( | 02:23 |
| HACKhalo2 | well, try it | 02:25 |
| HACKhalo2 | i had to reinstall twicee because it screwed up | 02:25 |
| kommer | I'll think about it, thanks for the suggestion | 02:26 |
| burntcheese | hey anyone here running xbuntu on an eeepc? | 02:46 |

| ArmyMan007 | hello? anybody home? | 06:38 |
| zoredache | perhaps | 06:43 |
| zoredache | !anyone | 06:43 |
| 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? | 06:43 |
| ArmyMan007 | ubotu -> because usually people don't answer... | 06:54 |
| zoredache | if you don't ask your question they will never have a chance | 07:05 |

| Lokian | hi all | 09:10 |
| KojiroAK | hi | 09:10 |
| ere4si | !hi | 09:10 |
| ubotu | Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! | 09:10 |
| gabkdlly | if I forward email to localhost using smtp, where does it go? | 09:39 |
| Lokian | the some place that lost socks go | 09:40 |
| gabkdlly | really? big black hole style? | 09:40 |
| Lokian | No idea | 09:45 |
| Lokian | I'm completly new to xubuntu and linux in general, sorry | 09:45 |
| mikubuntu | can anyone tell me how to complete my update cycle... last week after an update failed to complete i am left with a prompt on the update icon that says 'This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies' | 09:45 |
| Lokian | Hell, I can't even get VNC server to work | 09:45 |
| Lokian | Man, is it so hard to find a mobo with a built in dual nics | 09:51 |
| Lokian | that doesn't cost a small fourtune | 09:52 |
| Lokian | or is that fortune.. | 09:52 |
| ere4si | Lokian: have you installed the server on the box you want to connect to? | 09:55 |
| ere4si | and edited the /etc/hosts files to add the ips' of the comps? | 09:57 |
| Lokian | ere4si: Yes | 10:12 |
| Lokian | ere4si: waaaiitt.. etc/hosts file? | 10:12 |
| ere4si | Lokian: yep | 10:12 |
| Lokian | I've never read that in any of the guids I have seen | 10:13 |
| Lokian | guides* | 10:13 |
| ere4si | Lokian: on both comps - your /etc/hosts file should list the ips' and hostname of the other comps | 10:15 |
| ere4si | s/on/all | 10:15 |
| Lokian | But I only run linux on one box. total. period. | 10:15 |
| ere4si | Lokian: ahh - windows connecting to linux? | 10:16 |
| ere4si | or the other way? | 10:16 |
| Lokian | ere4si: Yup | 10:16 |
| ere4si | one min | 10:16 |
| Lokian | ere4si: I'm trying to make a firewall/proxy whatever that just runs moblock so I don't have to run peergaurdian on each machine | 10:17 |
| ere4si | Lokian: don't do anything like that - haven't run windows since 2002 - was going to read a guide for the vnc part and walk you through it | 10:19 |
| ere4si | Lokian: how are you trying to connect? -what are you typing/using pls? | 10:20 |
| Lokian | ere4si: What's a good wireless Mini PCI or Cardbus card for linux? | 10:21 |
| ere4si | I don't do wireless either hehe | 10:21 |
| ere4si | sorry | 10:21 |
| Lokian | oh poop | 10:24 |
| Lokian | ere4si I'm trying to connect on my LAN? | 10:25 |
| ere4si | Lokian: vnc will display your linux desktop on another comp - you need a windows prog to do that | 10:26 |
| ord | can anyone help me with a wierd problem? | 10:26 |
| Lokian | ok? | 10:27 |
| ord | I can't wake the computer up after hour or so | 10:28 |
| ord | I checked the power management and configured the screen and HDD to NEVER sleep | 10:28 |
| ord | but still, after hour or so, I can't wake him up | 10:28 |
| ord | any ideas? | 10:28 |
| ere4si | ord: it is probably a bios setting | 10:32 |
| ere4si | Lokian: look at putty as a windows app | 10:33 |
| ord | ere4si: so i need to check the bios for power manager? | 10:33 |
| ere4si | ord: there will be an option - they come under diff names for diff bios's | 10:34 |
| mikubuntu | can anyone tell me how to complete my update cycle... last week after an update failed to complete i am left with a prompt on the update icon that says 'This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies' | 10:46 |
| ord | ere4si: thank you | 10:48 |
| ere4si | ord: found the option? | 10:49 |
| ere4si | :) | 10:49 |
| ord | ere4si: i found power managment | 10:50 |
| ord | most of the things looked fine | 10:50 |
| ord | only changed the video... to off | 10:50 |
| ord | hope that will do the trick | 10:50 |
| ere4si | good luck :) | 10:51 |
| ord | thanx | 10:51 |
| mikubuntu | can anyone tell me how to complete my update cycle... last week after an update failed to complete i am left with a prompt on the update icon that says 'This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies' | 10:53 |
| Lokian | Does anyone know if Remote Admin works with linux? | 11:05 |
| killown | hi, I cannot add item XFCE main menu to xfce4-panel because it disappear can anyone help me? | 11:22 |
| ere4si | killown: if you right click the panel and select "add new item" is it not there? | 11:24 |
| killown | ere4si does it not | 11:25 |
| killown | ere4si, I don't know how I can add it again | 11:25 |
| killown | xfdesktop-menu shom me this menu | 11:26 |
| killown | show* | 11:26 |
| notinuse2 | just a question guys, i have a sun ultrasparc 2 450mhz cpu with around 256 maybe 512mb ram with xubuntu run on it fine? | 11:30 |
| ere4si | killown: do you have a file in your home folder .config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml ? | 11:31 |
| ere4si | notinuse2: should be ok :) | 11:32 |
| killown | ere4si, nop | 11:32 |
| notinuse2 | Also, it didn't come with a video card for some reason, can i just bung any old pci card in there? | 11:32 |
| ere4si | killown: that is the file the menu is made from - one min | 11:32 |
| killown | ere4si, where I can found it? | 11:33 |
| killown | menu.xml | 11:33 |
| ere4si | killown: I'll paste mine - then you can copy | 11:33 |
| ere4si | !paste | 11:33 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 11:33 |
| killown | ok ty | 11:34 |
| notinuse2 | also, im guessing xubuntu is a lighter weight version of ubuntu? | 11:34 |
| Lokian | heh, I use xubuntu.. | 11:35 |
| ere4si | killown: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61450/ - make sure you put it in the right file name - the ctrl + alt + bksp to restart and login then right click the pane and add new item | 11:36 |
| notinuse2 | its amazing if it runs well on this, its bloody ten years old | 11:37 |
| ere4si | notinuse2: it uses xfce which is lighter then gnome that ubuntu uses | 11:37 |
| killown | ere4si, thanks a lot dude | 11:37 |
| ere4si | np :) | 11:37 |
| killown | brb | 11:37 |
| notinuse2 | i presume i will most likely want a lightweight browser, any recommendations? | 11:38 |
| ere4si | notinuse2: I use it on a 450mhz amd k6 with 256 - it's not fast but more than usable | 11:38 |
| ere4si | epiphany is supposed to be light - I use firefox still | 11:39 |
| notinuse2 | i might have a look at fluxbuntu | 11:39 |
| notinuse2 | might you, i will most likely be buying 3 more cpu's :P they go for $12 on ebay | 11:39 |
| notinuse2 | mind* | 11:40 |
| ere4si | fluxbuntu still has issues - I use the server install with fluxbox on my main comp - 40mb mem used at boot :) | 11:41 |
| notinuse2 | what kind of issues D: | 11:41 |
| ere4si | from what I've read there is some issues with some h/ware | 11:42 |
| notinuse2 | i will download both :D | 11:42 |
| Lokian | I use xubuntu on a PII 300 with 192MB's of RAM | 11:42 |
| ere4si | have fun :) | 11:42 |
| notinuse2 | i will | 11:43 |
| notinuse2 | it would seem fluxubuntu doesnt even have a sparc image :/ yay | 11:49 |
| ere4si | hehe | 11:50 |
| ere4si | it is still young :) | 11:50 |
| notinuse2 | huh, i dont see one under xubuntu either | 11:51 |
| notinuse2 | found one, but it was under alternative installation cd is that a problem? | 11:53 |
| ere4si | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/ports/releases/7.10/release/ | 11:54 |
| ere4si | The alternate is just a text installation - no live cd | 11:54 |
| ere4si | same os at the end | 11:54 |
| notinuse2 | huh, i might grab it for my ps3 aswell :D | 11:55 |
| ere4si | grab the right ones | 11:55 |
| notinuse2 | xubuntu-7.10-alternate-sparc.iso << is the correct one yeah | 11:55 |
| ere4si | yep - looks right | 11:56 |
| ere4si | but not for the pent :) | 11:56 |
| ere4si | hehe | 11:56 |
| notinuse2 | Playstation 3 , not p3 :P | 11:57 |
| ere4si | oops | 11:57 |
| ere4si | aren't they pentiums? | 11:58 |
| notinuse2 | Nope, which is why they run a completey different ISO, its a properity CPU designed by Toshiba Sony and IBM | 11:58 |
| ere4si | there you go - the older ones were weren't they? | 11:59 |
| notinuse2 | XBOX1 ran a Pentium 3, XBOX360 runs a 3 Core PPC CPU and the PS1 and PS2 both ran properity stuff | 11:59 |
| ere4si | kk | 12:00 |
| TheSheep | I think ps3 is 64 core... :) | 12:03 |
| notinuse2 | I would go into detail but it would bore you guys (: | 12:04 |

| Lobster | where to report a bug in xubuntu 8.04? | 14:52 |
| j1mc | Lobster: do you havea launchpad account? | 14:55 |
| Lobster | no | 14:55 |
| Lobster | actuallly its a wrong localization and not really a bug | 14:56 |
| j1mc | Lobster: ok. what's the problem exactly? | 14:57 |
| Lobster | the options dialog od quicklauncher-pannel-applet is french | 14:58 |
| j1mc | what language should it be? | 14:58 |
| Lobster | englich, I installed without any localization | 14:58 |
| Lobster | *english | 14:59 |
| j1mc | huh... it's the same way for me! | 14:59 |
| j1mc | it shouldn't be that way | 15:00 |
| j1mc | i'll see what package that belongs to. | 15:02 |
| j1mc | Lobster: would you like me to walk you through reporting the bug? | 15:03 |
| Lobster | hm okay | 15:05 |
| Lobster | Ill get a launchpad account | 15:06 |
| j1mc | Lobster: actually... https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfce/+bug/179917 | 15:06 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 179917 in xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin "Quicklauncher settings display French text in English environment" [Low,Fix released] | 15:06 |
| j1mc | look at that bug | 15:06 |
| Lobster | okay | 15:06 |
| j1mc | Lobster: do you see how it says, "this bug was fixed with version 1.9.4-1ubuntu2? | 15:08 |
| j1mc | you can tell the version of your installed program by typing "dpkg -l [name of package]" | 15:09 |
| j1mc | in this case, dpkg -l xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin | 15:09 |
| j1mc | it says that the problem is fixed, but it's not. | 15:10 |
| j1mc | not in this version. | 15:10 |
| Lobster | yes | 15:11 |
| j1mc | would you like to add the bug comment? create a launchpad account, go to the bug report, and add your comment. | 15:11 |
| j1mc | make sure to include the version number, and steps to reproduce the problem. | 15:11 |
| Lobster | hmm... | 15:16 |
| j1mc | Lobster: i thought of something. it may be that you don't have the full english language pack installed. | 15:19 |
| j1mc | when you enter text into a text box in firefox, does it show all words as misspelled? (underlining them?) | 15:20 |
| j1mc | i'm testing by installing the english language packs, and will report back momentarily | 15:20 |
| j1mc | brb | 15:21 |
| j1mc | Lobster: yeah, i think it's still a bug. | 15:25 |
| Lobster | hm Im not usin firefox, but I think I don't have any spellchecking at all... | 15:26 |
| j1mc | sorry abou that... different issue. | 15:26 |
| j1mc | do you want to report the bug? | 15:26 |
| Lobster | no go ahead if you like ;) | 15:27 |

| c-ron | open the terminal in xubuntu (accessories > terminal), then type sudo cat /dev/psaux to display the devnode info from your mouse, move the mouse around a bit, then hit Ctrl+C to end the cat output | 19:22 |

| TheSheep | c-ron: type 'reset' | 19:28 |
| TheSheep | c-ron: it will reset your terminal to default mode | 19:28 |
| TheSheep | c-ron: you see, some of the characters that were output have special meaning | 19:29 |
| TheSheep | c-ron: and they switch the terminal mode | 19:29 |

| Stroganoff | xfprint is unable to find my printing backend | 20:13 |
| Stroganoff | hence i cant print with mousepad and such | 20:13 |
| Stroganoff | printing from abiword or gimp works fine | 20:13 |
| Stroganoff | i got xfprint, cupsys and cupsys-client | 20:15 |

| martin_zgr | hello, i cannot find any place to talk about cinepaint HDR plugin,anyone knows about any irc channel? | 20:38 |
| phfnet | i'm waking up a P3 128 MB computer using mini.iso in "cli" mode | 20:41 |
| phfnet | i'd like to run a minimal but pretty wm on top of that | 20:42 |
| phfnet | will "aptitude install xubuntu-desktop" do the trick, or will it install too much? | 20:42 |
| phfnet | are there lighter options that still look good? | 20:42 |
| siggjen | i believe it will be sluggish | 20:42 |
| siggjen | fluxbox is oki if you got the time to configure | 20:43 |
| phfnet | fluxbox didn't come with network boot disk afaik | 20:43 |
| phfnet | so how do i configure it from mini.iso cli result? | 20:43 |
| phfnet | or apt-get it | 20:44 |
| phfnet | (i've got time :) | 20:44 |
| siggjen | apt-get install fluxbox might get you some way, or better google it | 20:44 |
| siggjen | i've never used fluxbox on ubuntu | 20:44 |
| phfnet | ok, thanks, found something that's close enough | 20:46 |
| siggjen | !fluxbox | 20:47 |
| ubotu | fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox | 20:47 |
| siggjen | there might be thre right place | 20:47 |
| phfnet | thanks | 20:48 |

| Whyvas | is there a command line xorg config? | 22:36 |
| Whyvas | like XF86config | 22:36 |
| Whyvas | ? | 22:37 |
| Whyvas | I had to install it using a diffrent laptop that it's going to be used in because the cdrom drive of the other laptop is dead | 22:37 |
| Whyvas | now the xorg is screwed | 22:37 |
| Whyvas | can I make it re auto detect somehow? | 22:37 |
| BunnyRevolution | reboot to rescue mode and then fix it | 22:41 |
| BunnyRevolution | FFEMTcJ: /home is all you really need, but you can also put a /storage partition for files and folders you want to keep | 22:41 |
| BunnyRevolution | i normally do, /, /home, and /storage | 22:42 |
| BunnyRevolution | where storage is a partition where i store only data | 22:42 |
| Whyvas | BunnyRevolution how do I fix it? | 22:42 |
| Whyvas | I can get to the command lne | 22:42 |
| TheSheep | Whyvas: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 22:43 |
| FFEMTcJ | BunnyRevolution: ty | 22:44 |
| TheSheep | FFEMTcJ: normally you'd put the sotrage in /mnt or /media :) | 22:44 |
| TheSheep | FFEMTcJ: like /mnt/storage | 22:44 |
| TheSheep | but you can mount it in your home as well | 22:45 |
| BunnyRevolution | FFEMTcJ: yes, normally | 22:45 |
| FFEMTcJ | what is mnt? | 22:45 |
| BunnyRevolution | i always seperate my data from my home. as i rm -rf *.* from my home dir from time to time | 22:45 |
| FFEMTcJ | what do you put in your home dir? | 22:46 |
| TheSheep | FFEMTcJ: just a directory where you normally mount things | 22:46 |
| FFEMTcJ | ic | 22:46 |
| BunnyRevolution | FFEMTcJ: your home directory contains things like .rc files, etc. | 22:47 |
| FFEMTcJ | k | 22:47 |
| BunnyRevolution | basically your user configuration | 22:47 |
| BunnyRevolution | you wont see most of the files unless you "ls -ax" | 22:48 |
| BunnyRevolution | most of them are .hidden files | 22:48 |
| TheSheep | BunnyRevolution: why -x? | 22:48 |
