| xephos | well, to anyone out there: I just installed Xubuntu, I have a second internal hard drive that Xubuntu knows is there when i ran fdisk -l but when i tried to mount it, i could only see this single document with a name that looked like a small matrix (like 2x2 matrix). any ideas? | 01:12 |

| Vencabot | Hey, Xubuntu. For some reason, after applying settings with the nvidia-settings tool, Xfce's Display Settings offers 1680x1510@88 resolution. If I restart X server, though, this option is gone and I'm back at 1680x1510@51 resolution. Any advice? | 01:36 |
| cody-somerville | Vencabot, try "default"? | 01:39 |
| Vencabot | I let nvidia-settings change my xorg.conf, and it added some nice HorizSync and VertRefresh lines that I didn't have before, but even with this new xorg.conf I can only get 1680x1510@88 if I go through the nvidia-settings tool first. | 01:39 |
| Vencabot | I'm not sure what rates Default uses, but before I go through nvidia-settings, 1680x1050@88 isn't even an option. | 01:40 |
| Vencabot | (I didn't mean 1510 before, I meant 1050.) | 01:41 |
| Vencabot | I'm just curious where Xcfe's settings manager is getting all of these values from, and why applying changes through nvidia-settings would only change my list of possible values temporarily. | 01:43 |
| xephos | Hey there, maybe one of you has an idea about this. I just installed Xubuntu, I have a second internal hard drive that Xubuntu knows is there when i ran fdisk -l but when i tried to mount it, i could only see this single (i guess txt) document with a name that looked like a small matrix (like 2x2 matrix). any ideas? | 01:47 |

| AlexCONRAD | thanks Myrtti | 15:35 |
| AlexCONRAD | ill go try that, brb | 15:35 |

| suRs | and have compiz on thats why crashes my linux | 19:27 |
| Odd-rationale | hmm. well, 3d windows was part of the unstbale plugins not too long ago. i guess it still has some bugs... | 19:27 |
| Odd-rationale | suRs: so if you disable 3d windows, does everything else work? rotation, opacity, ect? | 19:28 |
| suRs | yeah | 19:28 |
| suRs | everything | 19:28 |
| suRs | works fine | 19:29 |

| suRs | so i have to find the right onces.. but i know the 3d work so thats not the problem | 19:29 |
| Odd-rationale | and if you log off, restart X, and log back in, is compiz still running? or do you have to start it again with alt+f2 "compiz --replace" ? | 19:29 |
| suRs | i have to start it | 19:30 |
| suRs | with alt f2 allways when i logg off | 19:30 |
| Odd-rationale | suRs: well do you prefer it that way? or would you like to have it autostart? | 19:30 |

| suRs | some Aquatic_black_theme.tar.gz | 20:57 |
| Odd-rationale | suRs: you will have to extract the tarball. | 20:57 |
| suRs | how do i exakly do that | 20:58 |
| suRs | Themes for Xfce4 are simply GTK2+ | 20:59 |
| suRs | themes which means Gnome themes are also compatible | 20:59 |
| suRs | with your xfce4 desktop. | 20:59 |
| suRs | To install themes, unpack it in ~/.themes/ | 20:59 |
| suRs | To install icons, unpack them to ~/.icons/ - | 20:59 |
| suRs | Visit http://www.xfce-look.org/ | 20:59 |
| suRs | for all kinds of eyecandy for your Xfce4 desktop! | 20:59 |
| suRs | - See also !themes for other GNOME theme sites | 20:59 |
| Odd-rationale | right-click and say extract | 20:59 |
| suRs | this is what i saved last time i got an advice. | 20:59 |
| jonkristian | Odd-rationale: I don't belive you | 21:00 |
| Odd-rationale | jonkristian: well, i have. literally... | 21:01 |
| jonkristian | Odd-rationale: well, it's a AMD K6 with 130mb ram, so i might | 21:01 |
| jonkristian | But still, it's way beyond my imagination that it could take so loong | 21:01 |
| Odd-rationale | you should just use DSL or puppy | 21:01 |
| suRs | odd you said extract were should i extract it to? | 21:02 |
| Odd-rationale | suRs: whever you want for now. you can always move it later. | 21:02 |

| suRs | then ? :D | 21:03 |
| Odd-rationale | ok | 21:03 |
| suRs | i got the map on my desktop | 21:03 |
| Odd-rationale | right-click the desktop, and go to desktop settings. you can configure the background there. just point it to the file you your desktop | 21:04 |
| jonkristian | Odd-rationale: I see, maybe i should try one of those then | 21:04 |
| Odd-rationale | jonkristian: i think i vaguely remember you... | 21:04 |
| jonkristian | Odd-rationale: your nick is kind of familiar | 21:05 |

| Yoshimitsu | hello...can i get help here? | 22:09 |
| TheSheep | Yoshimitsu: you need to ask your question first | 22:11 |
| Myrtti | /me puts her crystal ball away | 22:11 |
| Yoshimitsu | I am fairly new to linux. I am learning basic commands, working around the gui. I want to know if there is a way to add desktop icons for apps in xubuntu hardy | 22:12 |
| TheSheep | Yoshimitsu: yes, right click on the desktop and select 'create launcher' | 22:12 |
| TheSheep | Yoshimitsu: you can also copy the launchers from /usr/share/applications -- those are the ones that make up the menu | 22:13 |
| Yoshimitsu | thank you....even though right clicking the desktop brings up the apps menu, It worked for the second option | 22:16 |
| TheSheep | Yoshimitsu: ah, then you need to click on some existing icon | 22:19 |
| TheSheep | Yoshimitsu: there is an option controlling that in desktop settings, it defaults to not display the apps menu | 22:20 |
| Yoshimitsu | oh...got it | 22:20 |
| Yoshimitsu | linux is beautiful | 22:21 |
| TheSheep | Yoshimitsu: glad you like it | 22:22 |
| Yoshimitsu | is there any way to autostart a particular application on startup? pidgin for example | 22:23 |
| suRs | i think there is | 22:25 |
| suRs | you can make it your own probbly | 22:26 |
| Yoshimitsu | I cannot seem to find anything in preferences..i hunted a lot last night | 22:26 |
| suRs | settings management | 22:27 |
| Yoshimitsu | i'm sorry to bother u guys like this | 22:27 |
| suRs | i think | 22:27 |
| cody-somerville | Yoshimitsu, if you enable session management, whatever applications are running when you quit will restart | 22:27 |
| suRs | applications - > settings -> settings manager | 22:27 |
| suRs | then should be an incon there that named is autostarted apps | 22:28 |
| cody-somerville | Or you can go Applications > Settings > Autostarted Apps | 22:28 |
| cody-somerville | Oh, right right | 22:28 |
| suRs | then you klick like add i think and rest i dont know :p | 22:28 |
| suRs | cody | 22:29 |

| Myrtti | it looks the same | 22:43 |
| suRs | how do i install it myrtti? | 22:45 |
| suRs | sudo get insatll audacious? | 22:46 |
| Myrtti | sudo aptitude install audacious | 22:46 |
| suRs | E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) | 22:46 |
| suRs | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? | 22:46 |
| TheSheep | Myrtti: we try to not use aptitude, as it has part of the package infor databse separate from synaptic | 22:47 |
| TheSheep | suRs: you forgot sudo, use apt-getinstead of aptitude or just use synaptic | 22:47 |
| TheSheep | s/infor/info | 22:48 |
| suRs | thanks | 22:48 |
| Myrtti | TheSheep: oh well, just when I've learned to use aptitude instead of apt-get | 22:49 |
| Myrtti | :-< | 22:49 |
| TheSheep | Myrtti: there are tools for synchronizing it, but that's additional explaining | 22:50 |
| TheSheep | Myrtti: use aptitude your self if you want :) | 22:50 |
| suRs | hehe | 22:51 |

| db-keen | Trying to install Xubuntu 8.04 from LiveCD on old (1999) computer, disk integrity check passes, memory check passes, but during install it shows the xubuntu loading screen, and the status bar gets all the way to completion, and then nothing further is shown on the screen. Any tips? | 23:05 |
| db-keen | Ubuntu feisty was once installed on it | 23:06 |
| db-keen | so I'm pretty sure it should meet the hardware requirements | 23:06 |
| Odd-rationale | db-keen: how much memory do you have? | 23:12 |
| Odd-rationale | db-keen: the alternative cd usually installs more smoothly, even if you do meet the requirements... | 23:13 |
| Odd-rationale | so i would reccommend trying that. | 23:13 |
| db-keen | Odd-rationale: thanks, I'll try that. | 23:14 |

I went on to the terminal method. I noticed my card was in "lshw -C network" but disabled so I tried "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" and instead I get SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument. I'm using a US Robotics 802.11b card and the driver is hostap. | 23:22 |

| vanityvertigo | I hate sounding needy on when asking questions on IRC. >_< | 23:44 |
| Odd-rationale | vanityvertigo: is your card working? | 23:44 |
| vanityvertigo | It worked just fine when I was using my box as a Ubuntu 8.04 command line install | 23:45 |
| vanityvertigo | I just installed Xubuntu and it doesn't seem to work. | 23:45 |
| Odd-rationale | what card is it? | 23:45 |
| vanityvertigo | It's US Robotics USR2410 | 23:46 |
| Odd-rationale | vanityvertigo: can you pastebin the output of "iwconfig" | 23:46 |
| vanityvertigo | I'm on a another computer | 23:47 |

| Odd-rationale | vanityvertigo: well, does iwconfig show the wireless device? | 23:47 |
| vanityvertigo | Yes | 23:47 |
| Odd-rationale | does "iwlist scanning" show your wireless etwork? | 23:48 |

| Odd-rationale | hmm.. | 23:48 |
| vanityvertigo | When there should be 5 access points in my area | 23:48 |
| Odd-rationale | does networkmanager applet show any networks? | 23:49 |

| suRs | should i frist extract the tar file to my desktop? | 23:51 |
| Odd-rationale | vanityvertigo: well, wireless problems are one of the hardest things to troubleshoot through irc... the best i can do now is forward you to this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=684495 | 23:51 |
| vanityvertigo | Okay, thanks anyways. ^_^ | 23:51 |
| Odd-rationale | suRs: that is fine. | 23:51 |
| suRs | diddnt we have to do some wierd file thing? | 23:52 |
| suRs | to make the .theme and .icone go to home? | 23:52 |
| vanityvertigo | Yeah, since this is just being screwy I might just go back to a command line install and add fluxbox or something | 23:52 |
| vanityvertigo | Yeah, in your home you need to extract the theme into .theme | 23:53 |
| vanityvertigo | You can press Ctrl-H if you're using thunar to see it | 23:53 |
| Odd-rationale | suRs: just copy and paste. select the Themes folder. navigate to your home directory and paste... | 23:53 |
| Odd-rationale | suRs: paste it in /home/<yourusername> not in /home | 23:54 |
| Odd-rationale | vanityvertigo: if you like configuring stuff from the cli, you might like arch linux like myself.. ;) | 23:55 |
| suRs | alright done | 23:55 |
| Odd-rationale | then rename it to .themes | 23:55 |
| suRs | alright | 23:55 |
| Odd-rationale | suRs: just follow the directions, it is all in there... | 23:55 |
| suRs | it says i should go into my theme settings | 23:56 |
| suRs | but i dont know were it is | 23:56 |
| suRs | Then go to your theme settings or whatever, the UI, WM and Icons are called Aqautic Black, the mouse theme plain black <- descriptions | 23:56 |
