[06:42] hi i'm having a problem with getting desktop drapes working [06:43] it just simply doesn't work... i assume the problem could be coming from me usings the typical ubuntu install and switching to xubuntu [09:03] Morning [09:38] 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? [09:39] you've installed the sound-package? [09:39] fish fillets x_X [09:41] aptitude can't find "sound-package" [09:42] I guess you've got it installed since fillets is dependant on it [09:42] Depends: fillets-ng-data [09:45] i tried to install libsdl1.2debian-all instead of -alsa - didn't help [09:46] eustas: have you checked the bugs database if it's a bug? [09:46] /me checks [09:47] no bugs. [09:48] eustas: perhaps you'd find more fillets-players at #ubuntu? === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [10:15] how do i change my splash screen? [10:39] no one here? [11:06] how do i get to desktop settings? [11:20] Hello. Today I started my computer, and the top panel suddenly looks all wrong. When I press the exit button it just exits the panel. I opened a terminal and when I start the panel I get this error: [11:20] ** (xfce4-panel:6445): CRITICAL **: Unable to close file handle for /home/freefull/.config/xfce4/panel/panels.xml.tmp: No space left on device [11:20] I also get this error: (xfce4-menu-plugin:6475): libxfce4util-CRITICAL **: Unable to write to file /home/freefull/.cache/xfce4/desktop/menu-cache--home-freefull-.config-xfce4-desktop-menu.xml.rc.6475.tmp: Unexpected internal error [11:20] Can anyone help please?

[17:02] yes, it switches the background to a determined time [17:02] it worked with regular ubuntu, i think the problem lies in switching [17:03] i just downloaded the repo for xubuntu... i'm assuming its working "underneath" [17:03] well, xubuntu uses a different program to display the background [17:03] it's xfdesktop [17:03] yeah, i assumed that.. how do i disable and/or get drapes to work on top? [17:04] 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] wanna help a brotha out with that... because you slightly blew my mind... [17:04] for example with 'killall -USR1 xfdesktop' [17:05] however, wouldn't it be easier to just disable xfdesktop? [17:05] then you don't get the icons on the desktop [17:05] yeah i'm fine with that...i don't use em anyway [17:05] and no menus either [17:05] herm, not so fine with that... [17:05] lol [17:06] figures [17:06] but i saw on my hunt for a solution on google, that there are xubuntu users using drapes [17:06] but none of them seemed to have problems [17:07] no idea [17:08] blast. [17:17] herm i just thought, what if i somehow made the xfewm-desktop invisible? [17:17] just the background? [17:45] 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] TheSheep: i figured out that script method... works great, thanks for pointing me into the direction! [17:48] wait you can use a xubuntu 64bit alternate install cd to install a command line system, right? [18:31] Hello [18:31] Im trying to install xubuntu in an old Compaq presario.... [18:32] with 57MB of ram [18:32] and AMD 500MHz processor [18:33] anabelle: might not work [18:33] good luck, with this amount of ram it will be horribly slow [18:33] I'm using the alternate CD and after it asked me the machine name, it went to "Detecting Hardware" And began looping [18:33] not enough ram [18:33] to a black screen, and back to detecting hardware [18:33] is it RAM? [18:33] you might want to try damn small linux [18:33] :( [18:33] DSL [18:34] is it easy to use as ubuntu? [18:34] allegedly... [18:34] I've never used it myself [18:34] there's also Puppy Linux [18:34] hmm I'm downloading it already [18:34] both are designed for low-resource systems [18:34] Puppy? [18:34] yep [18:34] thank you [18:34] yw [18:35] wich one do you think it's better for some children in a rural school? [18:35] ¿? [18:35] i'm not sure on how they're specifically configures [18:35] configured [18:35] have you looked on www.distrowatch.com [18:35] it is the only PC in the whole school [18:35] can you believe it? [18:35] lots if distro info there... [18:35] it ran windows 98 [18:36] anabelle seriously, i would use this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=741631 [18:36] only paint and word installed and that was "education" [18:36] 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 [18:37] thanks Stroganoff [18:37] annabelle, any chance of adding more ram? [18:37] so you have to get the gutsy alternate cd, install it, upgrade to hardy and THEN run the minimal-ubuntu script [18:37] so i should go with feisty? [18:38] LOL ok [18:38] I understand [18:38] I dn't know if i can do it in one day woth a 100Ks connection dough [18:39] 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] thanks, youl be hearing from me [18:39] what kind of apps do you need to run for the kids? [18:39] edu-games [18:39] mainly [18:39] planets, atomix... [18:40] ok, you should be able to do that with the "smaller" distros. [18:40] webrowsing... [18:40] office [18:40] drawing... [18:40] OpenOffice might be slow with that little ram [18:40] abiword? [18:41] what about firefox3? [18:41] yeah, should be okay [18:41] epiphany ♥ [18:41] i guess it can be used since is so resource friendly [18:41] i's stick with FF2 [18:41] problem is DSL is really inconveniant for beginners [18:41] and puppy is quite ugly [18:41] gotta run it's raining and I'm outside.... [18:41] yikes... [18:42] do you know the debian netinstall? [18:42] how about that? [18:43] it maybe small... [18:51] yes debian with icewm is an option. i should modify my script to support debian === new is now known as UC [18:59] does version 8.04 work on AMD machines [18:59] UC, sure [19:05] Ablomen: thanks [19:14] wait you can use a xubuntu 64bit alternate install cd to install a command line system, right?

[20:40] no it wont install [20:42] i use aptitude and deleted already download old pakets and try again. maybe it works now [20:43] i like much better to use apt-get, but if you started with aptitude it might be a bad idea to change [20:45] i like aptitude because it "remembers" what pakets are installed and removes unused stuff when i remove some program connected to the paket [20:55] http://pastebin.kubuntu-de.org/200 < siggjen here is my problem with the paket [20:56] try to install strace first [20:56] http://pastebin.kubuntu-de.org/201 < sorry forgot a line [20:58] probably an idea to update as well [20:58] it wont install anything [21:01] siggjen strace is already installed [21:04] did you try to update the package list?

[23:49] Tipper__: reading your thread [23:49] aanderse: what is grub [23:50] Tipper__: a boot loader [23:50] 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] ? [23:50] it says do you want xp or xunbuntu [23:50] xubuntu* [23:50] ok, that is what grub is [23:51] so does it give you a couple options for xubuntu? [23:51] or just one?
