| kingair_six | hello, I got a question concerning network manager. where exactly can i get it from when i lost it? i don't have network access on xubuntu at the time, so i'll need a local install version? something like that around? | 00:29 |
| zoredache | what do you mean you lost it? did you install it or is the icon not in the tray | 00:30 |
| zoredache | try running nm-applet --sm-disable if it is still installed | 00:30 |
| kingair_six | well, it was in the tray originally, but after inserting my pc wifi card, it quit, i don't know any better way to describe it | 00:30 |
| kingair_six | alright, 'll try that right away | 00:30 |
| kingair_six | hm, it is doing something when i punch it in, but not starting the applet nor giving out errors | 00:33 |
| yotux | Do the repos have plugins for thunar? | 00:46 |
| === Guest9321 is now known as bloodboy | ||
| Odd-rationale | yotux: the repos have some... | 00:46 |
| yotux | coming from Gnome some things are different | 00:46 |
| zoredache | yotux: things being different is the point... if things where the same it would just be gnome | 00:47 |
| yotux | lol sorry | 00:47 |
| yotux | Like XFCE for the most part | 00:48 |
| zoredache | no need to be sorry, I am just fine-tuning my 'master-of-the-obvious' skills | 00:48 |
| TheSheep | I think most plugins for thunar are installed and enabled by default | 00:50 |
| TheSheep | at least the stable ones | 00:50 |
| yotux | ok | 00:52 |
| kingair_six | the command nm-applet --sm-disabled did not put out anything | 00:52 |
| yotux | is there a place that I can find a list of more light weight apps? | 00:53 |
| gkahla | anyone else having CUPS/printing issues after the update? | 01:36 |
| gkahla | I'm generating spooled print jobs, but the printer isn't spitting out paper. I can connect to a networked CUPS printer and send jobs there, but this is to a usb-connected device... | 01:37 |
| yotux | Is there a way to fix pulse audio in xubuntu | 03:36 |
| yotux | how can I stop pidgin from crazing | 04:36 |
| yotux | crashing | 04:36 |
| taggartbg42 | yotux: what exactly is happening? | 04:37 |
| yotux | it freezing and then in no responsive | 04:37 |
| yotux | I am thinking maybe it could be related to the sound problem with pulse audio? | 04:37 |
| yotux | I notice GStreaming errors | 04:38 |
| yotux | I am not an advance user but have pidgin running in a cli with the debug flag running | 04:38 |
| taggartbg42 | i'm not exactly sure, but if you provide more descriptive errors in #ubuntu, they should be able to help you | 04:39 |
| yotux | Does xubuntu have a bug fix for pulse audio? | 04:40 |
| whatisgoingon | where on earth can I add startup apps in xubuntu? | 06:29 |

| japherwocky | how do I set up a hotkey or macro to launch a terminal? | 08:06 |
| japherwocky | or a keyboard shortcut, etc. | 08:06 |
| ablomen | japherwocky, go to the settings manager -> keyboard -> shortcuts | 08:07 |
| Uda | is someone able to help me set up a shell script to wget files listed in a textfile? i cant seem to get that at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=347151 to work | 08:15 |
| ablomen | if you just want to download all the files in a text file you can use wget -i /path/to/the/text/file | 08:21 |
| ablomen | that is, if the text file is just url<ENTER>url<ENTER>url etc etc, or i think even an html file with links in it would do | 08:22 |
| Jaco | hey does anybody know ho big is the ftpd file | 12:07 |
| drash | Hi all, anyone familiar with "trayer" on xubuntu hardy ? | 12:12 |
| mnemoc | hi, which gtk app do you recommend to play remote .pls files? | 15:29 |
| ablomen | mnemoc, afaik rhythmbox should be able to do that | 15:31 |
| mnemoc | ablomen: thanks, installing | 15:31 |
| ablomen | np, hope it actually works ;) | 15:32 |
| mnemoc | "mplayer movie player" play the music but it shows and hides very fast and continiously an error dialog | 15:33 |
| MiKa^ | question here: if i disable 'launch gnome services at startup' (xubuntu) will this prevent me from running gnome apps? or will the gnome apps automatically start gnome services when they need it? | 15:37 |
| GryzorX | MiKa^: the services will start when you 1st need em | 15:38 |
| GryzorX | therefore, the 1st time it will take more time (while it loads the required services) | 15:38 |
| MiKa^ | yes! | 15:38 |
| MiKa^ | good | 15:38 |
| MiKa^ | at least it will boot up my buntu faster... right? | 15:39 |
| GryzorX | MiKa^: *should* :) | 15:41 |
| MiKa^ | lolz | 15:41 |
| MiKa^ | kk thx | 15:41 |
| GryzorX | np | 15:41 |
| MiKa^ | well | 15:42 |
| GryzorX | if you don't need a gnome app you can remove it entirely | 15:42 |
| MiKa^ | i install my buntu in my pendrive | 15:42 |
| MiKa^ | and settings are persistent | 15:42 |
| MiKa^ | so whenever i decide to show off to my friends about my customized bunt, it takes too long to load | 15:42 |
| MiKa^ | buntu* | 15:42 |
| MiKa^ | since all computers have different amount of ram | 15:44 |
| MiKa^ | well, so far only the 2gb ram computers boot with decent speed | 15:44 |

| GryzorX | I don't know what to tell you. | 16:27 |
| GryzorX | You might want to try the #ubuntu channel, as there's more people there. | 16:27 |
| thinkmassive | I need to watch a quicktime video in firefox so I need to install a plugin... any recommendations on which media player is best? | 16:29 |
| GryzorX | thinkmassive: media player or firefox plugin? | 16:30 |
| edmond | ok thk | 16:30 |
| edmond | i go now | 16:30 |
| thinkmassive | firefox | 16:30 |
| thinkmassive | choices are: xine, totem, gxine, vlc, mplayer | 16:30 |
| GryzorX | thinkmassive: no idea. sry. I use Epiphany | 16:30 |
| GryzorX | i'd go VLC | 16:30 |
| GryzorX | but that's my choice. | 16:30 |
| thinkmassive | cool, I'm just asking for opinions anyway, thanks! | 16:31 |
| GryzorX | i seems to work with "anything" you throw to it. | 16:31 |
| thinkmassive | hah sounds good | 16:31 |
| thinkmassive | as long as it doesn't crash and it plays the files | 16:31 |
| GryzorX | it works here, crashes are not common. | 16:31 |
| thinkmassive | I just remember video being one of the lacking areas on my old home desktop install | 16:32 |
| thinkmassive | that was a while ago though | 16:32 |
| thinkmassive | I've heard good things about VLC from a friend who I introduced to ubuntu for his media pc too | 16:32 |
| GryzorX | with all its drawbacks, linux has grown very mature in that area. Things are not what it used to be :) | 16:33 |
| edmond | how to join ubuntu channel ? | 16:33 |
| thinkmassive | /j #ubuntu | 16:33 |
| edmond | oh thk man | 16:34 |
| GryzorX | replace #ubuntu with any channel you'd like to join :) | 16:34 |
| edmond | friends seem no find any buddy to help in this | 16:39 |
| GryzorX | edmond: it may take time, people are busy | 16:40 |
| edmond | yeah | 16:40 |
| edmond | i know also | 16:40 |
| GryzorX | edmond: try Ekiga (comes with *buntu) | 16:40 |
| GryzorX | edmond: to see if you get any audio response in its testss | 16:40 |
| edmond | how ? | 16:40 |
| GryzorX | edmond: Ekiga has some sound tests when you 1st open it (and possible later) where you configure your audio and it lets you selecr your input/output and see if you can record/hear them. | 16:42 |
| edmond | i cannot record sound | 16:43 |
| edmond | i can hear music | 16:44 |
| edmond | i test already | 16:44 |
| GryzorX | :( | 16:44 |
| edmond | i also set to 100% already | 16:45 |
| edmond | haiz | 16:45 |
| GryzorX | edmond: could be an issue with PulseAudio | 16:47 |
| GryzorX | edmond: but I know nothing 'bout PA | 16:47 |
| edmond | pulse audio is wat ? | 16:47 |
| GryzorX | it's the "audio server" that shipped with ()buntu | 16:47 |
| edmond | hmm ? | 16:48 |
| GryzorX | http://www.pulseaudio.org/ | 16:49 |

| edmond | nvm but still got people help is feeling good for me already | 17:06 |
| defrex | automount doesn't seem to be working... is this just an xubuntu norm (I just started using it) or am I having some kind of issue? | 17:19 |
| defrex | or maybe it's just a problem with my card reader... | 17:29 |
| defrex | it works fine under a regular ubuntu install though | 17:30 |
| slimjimflim_ | does anybody know of a package that will let me log into a windows machine nvia remote desktop? | 17:32 |
| TheSheep | rdesktop | 17:32 |
| TheSheep | and if you search for rdesktop in synaptic you will find some graphical clients too | 17:33 |
| defrex | if I'm trying to mount something manually, how can I find out what the /dev/?? name is? | 17:34 |
| Odd-rationale | defrex: try, fdisk -l | 17:34 |
| Odd-rationale | (lowercase L) | 17:34 |
| defrex | hmm, it doesn't seem to return anything | 17:35 |
| Odd-rationale | defrex: with sudo | 17:35 |
| defrex | ah | 17:35 |
| defrex | .. it's not there. | 17:36 |
| defrex | I guess the problem isn't just automount then | 17:36 |
| Odd-rationale | defrex: is it external or internal/ | 17:37 |
| Odd-rationale | ? | 17:37 |
| defrex | it's an internal milt-card reader | 17:37 |
| Odd-rationale | is the card plugged in? | 17:37 |
| defrex | ya | 17:37 |
| Odd-rationale | defrex: could you pastebin the out put of "sudo fdisk -l" ? | 17:38 |
| defrex | http://pastebin.com/m3cc9f50d | 17:40 |
| defrex | the ntfs drive is a usb external I have | 17:41 |
| Odd-rationale | hmm. maybe you reader is not working... :-E | 17:42 |
| defrex | I guess it's possible. I've been using it with ubuntu for years with no problems... It only stopped working when I installed xubuntu, which makes suspect it's something more. | 17:43 |
| Odd-rationale | maybe xubuntu is missing some drivers that ubuntu preinstalls. idk... | 17:43 |
| defrex | lol, this is all just to get a new rsa.pub over after the ssh update... | 17:44 |
| defrex | I can't connect accross with ssh because I changed my keys... | 17:44 |
| defrex | so, my cdrom drive doesn't work anymore either... | 17:55 |
| defrex | this time there was an error message though http://pastebin.com/m6a9cb837 | 17:57 |
| japherwocky | what should I be using to view pdfs? | 18:14 |
| thinkmassive | isn't "document viewer" installed by default? | 18:15 |
| thinkmassive | err evince | 18:16 |
| japherwocky | Not that I can find | 18:16 |
| thinkmassive | I guess document viewer is just what firefox calls when you open a pdf | 18:16 |
| thinkmassive | well evince works well for me | 18:16 |
| thinkmassive | ghostscript is another app | 18:16 |
| japherwocky | I'll give evince a whirl :) | 18:17 |
| japherwocky | and it works nicely :) | 18:18 |
| thinkmassive | excellent | 18:20 |
| PsynoKhi0 | hi, was AIGLX enabled by default in xubuntu gutsy? | 19:08 |
| nikin | hy | 19:48 |
| nikin | how can i make policykit work for alternate window managers? i mean i use fluxbox with startx :) and the unlock button is grey on every policykit based app | 19:49 |
| mnemoc | hi, since i updated from 8.04 beta to final my terminal launcher stopped working, where can i see what is it really trying to launch as when i choose the terminal icon i can't write the path to xfce-terminal | 20:06 |
| zoredache | the command is 'xfce4-terminal' | 20:07 |
| mnemoc | what i mean is that if i choose the icon it doesn't ask me what to exec, and i can't see it neither | 20:08 |
| mnemoc | if i alt-f2 xfce4-terminal it works fine, but if i click on the launcher it does nothing | 20:08 |
| mnemoc | (since i updated) | 20:08 |
| thinkmassive | mnemoc: do you mean to say that the icon is visible on your panel but when you click on it the terminal doesn't launch? | 20:19 |
| mnemoc | thinkmassive: right | 20:22 |
| thinkmassive | can you right-click and choose properties? | 20:23 |
| mnemoc | thinkmassive: yes | 20:25 |
| thinkmassive | what does it say in the Command field? | 20:25 |
| mnemoc | the field at the right of the choosable icon is not editable and it says Terminal, the field after that is empty (i just was a terminal) | 20:27 |
| mnemoc | want* | 20:27 |
| thinkmassive | below the icon, isn't there a Command field? | 20:29 |
| thinkmassive | doh I'm on a 7.1 system right now, maybe it changed | 20:29 |
| thinkmassive | still, I don't see why you wouldn't just delete that broken launcher and create a new one | 20:30 |
| mnemoc | thinkmassive: i have done it, doesn't solve the problem | 20:30 |
| mnemoc | thinkmassive: but i just realized that if i add /bin/bash and run in terminal i get the old behavior | 20:30 |
| thinkmassive | how about Xmenu->Accessories->Terminal | 20:31 |
| thinkmassive | is the Command field empty? | 20:31 |
| mnemoc | that work | 20:31 |
| thinkmassive | you haven't answered that question yet | 20:31 |
| mnemoc | i'm not sure which is the command field, the translation is ugly | 20:31 |
| thinkmassive | there's a text field below the icon | 20:31 |
| thinkmassive | in it you should have: xfce4-terminal | 20:32 |
| mnemoc | thinkmassive: doh, ok | 20:32 |
| mnemoc | why having it empty before gave me a terminal? | 20:34 |
| thinkmassive | no idea | 20:34 |
| mnemoc | thinkmassive: thanks a lot for your time, i'm happy with my launcher now :) | 20:34 |
| thinkmassive | no prob, enjoy | 20:35 |
| mnemoc | :) | 20:35 |
| mnemoc | i assumed there was something like xdg-email wrapping the "favorite" terminal or so | 20:39 |
| nikin | can anyone help me to use policykit with fluxbox... for some reason it ails the get process information... so the unlock bttons stay grey... and after tripple check... i am in the polkituser group., and i am not running with sudo .... or at least how to rip out that piece of awfullness of the admn programs? | 20:47 |

| thinkmassive | you might try #fluxbox | 20:51 |
| thinkmassive | this is an xfce channel | 20:51 |
| nikin | its not a fluxbox issue | 20:51 |
| nikin | the main question is that what is the way xubuntu handels polkit.. what deamons are needed to be run etc... | 20:52 |
| L0GG3D | Is there an alternative for thunar? | 20:53 |
| nikin | and how to make it happen manualy... i am sure something is started durning gdm or xfce that makes it work | 20:53 |
| L0GG3D | i cant see my ntfs partition | 20:53 |
| ubuntunovice | logg3d: yes, nautilus | 20:54 |
| L0GG3D | thx | 20:54 |
| nikin | L0GG3D: there is nautilus.. wich is the default for gnome... there is konqueror.. the default for kde... if you like commander style stuff... mc (curses) krusader (KDE) are options to | 20:54 |
| nikin | but just take a look around in synaptic searching for: file manager .. you can find some more | 20:55 |
| TheSheep | there was a new commander-style one for gtk, forgot the name | 21:00 |
| L0GG3D | i have installed nautilus, but were/how can i start it? | 21:00 |
| nikin | gnome-commander | 21:00 |
| TheSheep | L0GG3D: from command line, best press alt+f2 and type nautilus | 21:01 |
| TheSheep | L0GG3D: it will be started automatically if you save the session when logging out | 21:01 |
| L0GG3D | thx, but it changed my background:P | 21:03 |
| L0GG3D | and style settings | 21:03 |
| TheSheep | http://www.gnomefiles.org/subcategory.php?sub_cat_id=71 <-- a list of file management apps for gnome | 21:03 |
| TheSheep | (and gtk) | 21:04 |
| L0GG3D | i can mount my ntfs to see it with thunar but can you automount, so it loads on startup? | 21:06 |
| TheSheep | !ntfs | 21:07 |

| thinkmassive | spamming the chan isn't going to help you | 21:16 |
| thinkmassive | if nobody is responding then try posting to a forum | 21:16 |
| nikin | thinkmassive: i dont want to spam the channel... i respect other peoples communication.. but every oncein a whle.. when some new people join i try again.. maybe the newcommers caan help | 21:17 |
| L0GG3D | How do you close nautilus? | 21:26 |
| L0GG3D | or is it closet when you exit? | 21:27 |
| nikin | if you started like : nautilus then not.. the desktop remains running | 21:29 |
| nikin | if you started with the nodesktop switch then it is closed | 21:30 |

| ubuntunovice | does anyone know a good podcast aggregator under ubuntu or xubuntu.. I read that icepodder does not work under 8.04 because xmms libraries are missing... | 21:57 |
| zoredache | I use podracer, a command line app, it works fine for me | 21:58 |
| ubuntunovice | I#ll look into it... | 21:59 |
| zoredache | just put the rss urls into a text file and setup a cron job to start podracer occasionally | 21:59 |
| ubuntunovice | but I was hoping for something clickable.. | 21:59 |
| ubuntunovice | might be good.... juice has some bugs.. some episodes are not downloaded... | 21:59 |
| zoredache | I hate clickable things because they don't run in the background... I my podcast getter to get things when I am not there | 21:59 |
| zoredache | You might also try miro | 21:59 |
| zoredache | it is mostly setup for video, but I am pretty sure it audio as well | 22:00 |
| ubuntunovice | but podracer is not opensource.. | 22:00 |
| zoredache | what are you looking at? the one I am using has what looks like a bsd/mit license | 22:01 |
| zoredache | http://podracer.sourceforge.net/license.php | 22:01 |
| ubuntunovice | u r right | 22:01 |
| zoredache | use 'sudo apt-get install podracer' | 22:01 |

| dan798 | hi all. i'm trying to install xubuntu on an old sony picture book a friend just gave me. I downloaded 8.04, I am able to boot off the disc, and i see the little bar thingy going back and forth all blue - then it goes to BusyBox and gives me a prompt. Anyone? | 23:01 |
| favro | dan798: first check is to run the md5 check when you boot into the disk | 23:03 |
| TheSheep | !md5 | 23:03 |

| eross | if I delete my top panel and find out I need it back, how do I do that | 23:05 |
| eross | I'm running awn | 23:06 |
| japherwocky | xfce4-panel & | 23:07 |
| japherwocky | ? | 23:07 |
| eross | interesting | 23:08 |
| eross | this is all new to me japherwocky, since i was weaned off of kde and played with gnome a little | 23:08 |
| zoredache | eross: did you close the panel, or did you actually delete it? If it was actually deleted then starting the panel again won't help | 23:09 |
| zoredache | if you deleted it then you just go into the settings and add a new panel, then put the stuff you want on the panel onto it | 23:09 |
| eross | i'm too fraid to play with anything right now, it's working great but want to move my top down to the awn applet | 23:10 |
| eross | i would do the right-click and remove option | 23:11 |
| === slimjimflim_ is now known as slimjimflim | ||
