| Qkall | hi i'm having a problem with getting desktop drapes working | 06:42 |
| Qkall | it just simply doesn't work... i assume the problem could be coming from me usings the typical ubuntu install and switching to xubuntu | 06:43 |

| eustas | Hello there. I have the following sound problem: sound plays well in, for example, last.fm, but there is no sound in fish fillets ng. Any suggestions what is wrong? | 09:38 |
| Myrtti | you've installed the sound-package? | 09:39 |
| graxaim | fish fillets x_X | 09:39 |
| eustas | aptitude can't find "sound-package" | 09:41 |
| Myrtti | I guess you've got it installed since fillets is dependant on it | 09:42 |
| Myrtti | Depends: fillets-ng-data | 09:42 |
| eustas | i tried to install libsdl1.2debian-all instead of -alsa - didn't help | 09:45 |
| Myrtti | eustas: have you checked the bugs database if it's a bug? | 09:46 |
| Myrtti | /me checks | 09:46 |
| Myrtti | no bugs. | 09:47 |
| Myrtti | eustas: perhaps you'd find more fillets-players at #ubuntu? | 09:48 |

| Qkall | hi i'm having a problem with getting desktop drapes working | 17:01 |
| TheSheep | desktop drapes? | 17:01 |
| Qkall | yes, it switches the background to a determined time | 17:02 |
| Qkall | it worked with regular ubuntu, i think the problem lies in switching | 17:02 |
| Qkall | i just downloaded the repo for xubuntu... i'm assuming its working "underneath" | 17:03 |
| TheSheep | well, xubuntu uses a different program to display the background | 17:03 |
| TheSheep | it's xfdesktop | 17:03 |
| Qkall | yeah, i assumed that.. how do i disable and/or get drapes to work on top? | 17:03 |
| TheSheep | if you just want to change wallpapers periodically, you can set a list of wallpapers in desktop settings and make some script that will send the USR1 signal to xfdesktop periodically | 17:04 |
| Qkall | wanna help a brotha out with that... because you slightly blew my mind... | 17:04 |
| TheSheep | for example with 'killall -USR1 xfdesktop' | 17:04 |
| Qkall | however, wouldn't it be easier to just disable xfdesktop? | 17:05 |
| TheSheep | then you don't get the icons on the desktop | 17:05 |
| Qkall | yeah i'm fine with that...i don't use em anyway | 17:05 |
| TheSheep | and no menus either | 17:05 |
| Qkall | herm, not so fine with that... | 17:05 |
| Qkall | lol | 17:05 |
| TheSheep | figures | 17:06 |
| Qkall | but i saw on my hunt for a solution on google, that there are xubuntu users using drapes | 17:06 |
| Qkall | but none of them seemed to have problems | 17:06 |
| TheSheep | no idea | 17:07 |
| Qkall | blast. | 17:08 |
| Qkall | herm i just thought, what if i somehow made the xfewm-desktop invisible? | 17:17 |
| Qkall | just the background? | 17:17 |
| joedoc55 | One of the things that's always annoyed me about the *buntus is how to turn off the automatic screen blannking. I have Xubuntu 8.04 and the screen is configured to toss up a random saver, but the screen always blanks first. I cannot find a place to configure this in the setup tools. In Slackware, this was always easy. Any tips here? | 17:45 |
| Qkall | TheSheep: i figured out that script method... works great, thanks for pointing me into the direction! | 17:45 |
| aanderse | wait you can use a xubuntu 64bit alternate install cd to install a command line system, right? | 17:48 |
| anabelle | Hello | 18:31 |
| anabelle | Im trying to install xubuntu in an old Compaq presario.... | 18:31 |
| anabelle | with 57MB of ram | 18:32 |
| anabelle | and AMD 500MHz processor | 18:32 |
| joedoc55 | anabelle: might not work | 18:33 |
| TheSheep | good luck, with this amount of ram it will be horribly slow | 18:33 |
| anabelle | I'm using the alternate CD and after it asked me the machine name, it went to "Detecting Hardware" And began looping | 18:33 |
| joedoc55 | not enough ram | 18:33 |
| anabelle | to a black screen, and back to detecting hardware | 18:33 |
| anabelle | is it RAM? | 18:33 |
| joedoc55 | you might want to try damn small linux | 18:33 |
| anabelle | :( | 18:33 |
| joedoc55 | DSL | 18:33 |
| anabelle | is it easy to use as ubuntu? | 18:34 |
| joedoc55 | allegedly... | 18:34 |
| joedoc55 | I've never used it myself | 18:34 |
| joedoc55 | there's also Puppy Linux | 18:34 |
| anabelle | hmm I'm downloading it already | 18:34 |
| joedoc55 | both are designed for low-resource systems | 18:34 |
| anabelle | Puppy? | 18:34 |
| joedoc55 | yep | 18:34 |
| anabelle | thank you | 18:34 |
| joedoc55 | yw | 18:34 |
| anabelle | wich one do you think it's better for some children in a rural school? | 18:35 |
| anabelle | ¿? | 18:35 |
| joedoc55 | i'm not sure on how they're specifically configures | 18:35 |
| joedoc55 | configured | 18:35 |
| joedoc55 | have you looked on www.distrowatch.com | 18:35 |
| anabelle | it is the only PC in the whole school | 18:35 |
| anabelle | can you believe it? | 18:35 |
| joedoc55 | lots if distro info there... | 18:35 |
| anabelle | it ran windows 98 | 18:35 |
| Stroganoff | anabelle seriously, i would use this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=741631 | 18:36 |
| anabelle | only paint and word installed and that was "education" | 18:36 |
| Stroganoff | only problems is, currently hardy is not able to install on 64mb or less due to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/202959 | 18:36 |
| anabelle | thanks Stroganoff | 18:37 |
| joedoc55 | annabelle, any chance of adding more ram? | 18:37 |
| Stroganoff | so you have to get the gutsy alternate cd, install it, upgrade to hardy and THEN run the minimal-ubuntu script | 18:37 |
| anabelle | so i should go with feisty? | 18:37 |
| anabelle | LOL ok | 18:38 |
| anabelle | I understand | 18:38 |
| anabelle | I dn't know if i can do it in one day woth a 100Ks connection dough | 18:38 |
| anabelle | I will try DSL or Puppy, and if I can't do it il take the PC home and bring it back later | 18:39 |
| anabelle | thanks, youl be hearing from me | 18:39 |
| joedoc55 | what kind of apps do you need to run for the kids? | 18:39 |
| anabelle | edu-games | 18:39 |
| anabelle | mainly | 18:39 |
| anabelle | planets, atomix... | 18:39 |
| joedoc55 | ok, you should be able to do that with the "smaller" distros. | 18:40 |
| anabelle | webrowsing... | 18:40 |
| anabelle | office | 18:40 |
| anabelle | drawing... | 18:40 |
| joedoc55 | OpenOffice might be slow with that little ram | 18:40 |
| anabelle | abiword? | 18:40 |
| anabelle | what about firefox3? | 18:41 |
| joedoc55 | yeah, should be okay | 18:41 |
| Myrtti | epiphany ♥ | 18:41 |
| anabelle | i guess it can be used since is so resource friendly | 18:41 |
| joedoc55 | i's stick with FF2 | 18:41 |
| Stroganoff | problem is DSL is really inconveniant for beginners | 18:41 |
| Stroganoff | and puppy is quite ugly | 18:41 |
| joedoc55 | gotta run it's raining and I'm outside.... | 18:41 |
| joedoc55 | yikes... | 18:41 |
| anabelle | do you know the debian netinstall? | 18:42 |
| anabelle | how about that? | 18:42 |
| anabelle | it maybe small... | 18:43 |
| Stroganoff | yes debian with icewm is an option. i should modify my script to support debian | 18:51 |

| slow-motion | i cant do the bash update. can someone help me? | 20:37 |
| siggjen | bash update? | 20:37 |
| slow-motion | the new bash paket that sits in the update-tool and wont come out | 20:39 |
| siggjen | is it on hold? | 20:39 |
| slow-motion | no it wont install | 20:40 |
| slow-motion | i use aptitude and deleted already download old pakets and try again. maybe it works now | 20:42 |
| siggjen | i like much better to use apt-get, but if you started with aptitude it might be a bad idea to change | 20:43 |
| slow-motion | i like aptitude because it "remembers" what pakets are installed and removes unused stuff when i remove some program connected to the paket | 20:45 |
| slow-motion | http://pastebin.kubuntu-de.org/200 < siggjen here is my problem with the paket | 20:55 |
| siggjen | try to install strace first | 20:56 |
| slow-motion | http://pastebin.kubuntu-de.org/201 < sorry forgot a line | 20:56 |
| siggjen | probably an idea to update as well | 20:58 |
| slow-motion | it wont install anything | 20:58 |
| slow-motion | siggjen strace is already installed | 21:01 |
| siggjen | did you try to update the package list? | 21:04 |
| slow-motion | yes | 21:04 |
| slow-motion | i tried nearly everything. this includes selling my soul to bill gates | 21:05 |
| siggjen | ever tired apt-get ? | 21:05 |
| slow-motion | yes | 21:06 |
| slow-motion | the same error | 21:06 |
| siggjen | probably an idea to wait for tomorrow and try again | 21:07 |

| MrGneissGuy | lol, hope our chances of getting an answer are doubled | 23:46 |
| suRs | it worked nice | 23:46 |
| XiXaQ | MrGneissGuy, it's possible if your computer can boot from the network, but you'll have to configure a few services on the server side. I've never done that myself. | 23:47 |
| MrGneissGuy | My lappy's optical drive is broken and my desktop runs xp and ubuntu | 23:47 |
| Tipper__ | aanderse: what is grub | 23:47 |
| cal | Tipper__: a boot loader | 23:48 |
| aanderse | Tipper__: your problem isn't a xubuntu specific problem | 23:48 |
| aanderse | you seem to have borked your kernel | 23:48 |
| MrGneissGuy | right now, lappy runs xp. is it possible to do this with my current config? | 23:48 |
| aanderse | in the future, don't do crazy things like compiling kernel modules if you don't know what it means (unless someone is gonna walk you through it step by step) | 23:48 |
| aanderse | suRs: ok so you're up and running? | 23:49 |
| aanderse | Tipper__: reading your thread | 23:49 |
| Tipper__ | aanderse: what is grub | 23:49 |
| aanderse | <cal> Tipper__: a boot loader | 23:50 |
| aanderse | Tipper__: when you turn on your computer, at one point does it give you an option on which kernel to choose OR does it say "press esc for more options" | 23:50 |
| aanderse | ? | 23:50 |
| Tipper__ | it says do you want xp or xunbuntu | 23:50 |
| Tipper__ | xubuntu* | 23:50 |
| aanderse | ok, that is what grub is | 23:50 |
| aanderse | so does it give you a couple options for xubuntu? | 23:51 |
| aanderse | or just one? | 23:51 |
| Tipper__ | just one | 23:51 |
