| poopuser | it's time for nano xorg.conf! fuck yea\!!!!!] | 00:31 |
| Odd-rationale | you know, it is kind of nice to help out in a chennel this size. #ubuntu ... toooo many people... | 00:33 |
| handjob | welcome back... | 00:48 |
| handjob | Odd stop hiding i can here u breathing : D | 00:49 |
| handjob | Odd sry for wasting your time.i got back to 'ati' in xorg.conf and set 800x600 res.i don't have to say it way bad idead?then i got back to 'vesa' thou still my desktop look like jackson's pollock art | 00:52 |
| Odd-rationale | 00:52 | |
| tgm4883_laptop | In Xubuntu 8.04, do apturl apps not work in Firefox? ie, is the apturl package not installed by default? | 00:53 |
| Odd-rationale | remember we made a back up your xorg.conf file? restore it (sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and replace ati with vesa | 00:53 |
| handjob | ...i was thinking the same thing... (not really ; D) | 00:54 |
| Odd-rationale | tgm4883_laptop: i'm not too familiar with apturl... search synaptics and see if you need to install an apturl package... or it could just be ff3... | 00:54 |
| tgm4883_laptop | heh, it's not my installation. i'm trying to help a user and he can't install from this apturl link on this page http://www.mythbuntu.org/existing-ubuntu | 00:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | is FF3 default in Xubuntu 8.04 | 00:55 |
| Odd-rationale | tgm4883_laptop: yes. ff3 is defualt in hardy | 00:55 |
| Odd-rationale | tgm4883_laptop: open synaptics instead. and to to packages --> mark packages by tasks | 00:56 |
| tgm4883_laptop | hmm, interesting. For some reason he is running ff2. He upgraded from 7.10, any known bugs doing that? | 00:56 |
| Odd-rationale | tgm4883_laptop: you should be able to find the mythbuntu task there... | 00:56 |
| Odd-rationale | tgm4883_laptop: not any bugs that i know of... | 00:56 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yea I know, I got him to install it via apt. Was just wondering if other xubuntu users are going to have this same problem | 00:57 |
| tgm4883_laptop | he seems to be having a few other issues as well, such as he lost all his file associations. But thats not really my area of help | 00:57 |
| tgm4883_laptop | thanks though for the help | 00:58 |
| handjob | shit desctop still looks like pizza.any idea whare res settings may be stored exept xorg,conf? | 00:59 |

| handjob | *can't | 01:13 |
| Odd-rationale | handjob: yes you can choose only one resolution | 01:14 |
| Odd-rationale | handjob: try this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 01:14 |
| peterajamesh | Is there a way to get a mounted slave drive, in my case media/slave, to show in the thunar files manager as a "mounted" drive along "file system Drive" | 01:14 |
| handjob | nano fstab | 01:15 |
| handjob | not really i am only trying to look cool l D | 01:15 |

| Odd-rationale | handjob: ok. sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf again and change the driver to vesa and set your resolution lower again... | 01:29 |
| handjob | deja vu! | 01:30 |
| Odd-rationale | then save the file | 01:30 |
| Odd-rationale | and restart X (ctrl+alt+bksp) | 01:30 |

| Odd-rationale | handjob: ok. sorry, i could help more... | 01:34 |
| Tipper | My schools server has 200tbs o.O | 01:35 |
| Tipper | and half of it are used | 01:35 |
| handjob | np.i thing tomorow i will install arch.hope they got good irc support l D | 01:35 |
| Odd-rationale | heh, i am in the arch irc support... | 01:36 |
| lc2 | ohai | 02:14 |
| lc2 | is there an easy way to restart X? | 02:14 |
| lc2 | i've done horrible things to my xorg.conf and i hate rebooting each time i try and fix it | 02:16 |
| Tipper | hmm | 02:16 |
| Tipper | idk :P | 02:16 |
| Tipper | what the hell is wrong with me download speed? | 02:17 |
| Tipper | I'm hopping from 200bps to 5mbs | 02:17 |
| lc2 | the fuck are you doing here Tipper | 02:19 |
| Tipper | ? | 02:20 |
| lc2 | i thought this was the other channel for a sec when i saw you talking | 02:20 |
| lc2 | anyway, what the hell, something's horribly wrong with my xorg.conf | 02:20 |
| lc2 | what's more, i can't figure out where the error is occurring, because i don't know where the errors go to | 02:22 |
| lc2 | okay, /var/log/Xorg.0.log* | 02:26 |
| lc2 | which shows nothing of interest | 02:26 |
| lc2 | well, reboot, lawl | 02:27 |
| Odd-rationale | lc2: the easy way to restart x is ctrl+alt+blsp | 02:37 |
| lc2 | yeah, but i found that didn't really restart it | 02:39 |
| lc2 | in that it didn't die all over again reading my xorg.conf | 02:39 |
| lc2 | hate hate hate | 02:39 |
| lc2 | as it happens it was about xorg not liking the DisableEdid option | 02:40 |
| lc2 | (or any Option at all in that part of the config file) | 02:40 |
| lc2 | wee | 02:42 |
| * lc2 is stuck in 1152x864 at 60hz, but can live with that for now | 02:47 | |
| n-iCe | hello, what's the command to see whois on active? | 03:56 |

| n-iCe | to see the whois on main | 04:07 |
| n-iCe | on the active window | 04:07 |
| n-iCe | something like /Set whois_on_active | 04:07 |
| zoredache | n-iCe: I can't read your mind. You are going to be more specific | 04:08 |
| n-iCe | nevermind | 04:08 |

| jk4 | hello, do you think it's possible to make xubuntu lock screen when suspending? | 10:17 |
| jk4 | (would be great if that would be possible without messing with /etc/acpi) | 10:20 |
| TheSheep | I think it already does | 10:24 |
| ablomen | you have to install the screen locking app first though | 10:24 |
| ablomen | for some reason it isnt installed by default | 10:24 |
| jk4 | ablomen: which app? | 10:25 |
| ablomen | xlockmore | 10:25 |
| jk4 | ablomen: xflock4 works for me, but it doesn't seem to fire up when doing suspend | 10:25 |
| jk4 | ablomen: ok, I'll check it | 10:25 |
| ablomen | oh ok | 10:26 |
| ablomen | well if it really doesnt do it i guess you have to make a **-lock-screen.sh | 10:26 |
| ablomen | or just log off, thats good too.. | 10:26 |
| ablomen | (off of irc that is) | 10:27 |
| jk4 | well, I've installed xlockmore and now /usr/bin/xlock works, but it still doesn't start when I suspend xfce... | 10:30 |
| jk4 | (I'm using ubuntu 8.04) | 10:31 |
| ablomen | <ablomen> well if it really doesnt do it i guess you have to make a **-lock-screen.sh | 10:31 |
| ablomen | in /etc/acpi/suspend.d/ that is | 10:32 |
| jk4 | ablomen: you mean something like that described at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=17b7d4922c4b3dd59bf41910b66a1dee&p=4003084&postcount=4 ? | 10:32 |
| ablomen | jk4, guess so, have no experience myself with that stuff though | 10:33 |
| ablomen | but looking at the scripts in that folder it shouldnt be too dificult | 10:33 |
| jk4 | I'll try... I wonder if something like that shouldn't be included in some package by default. | 10:34 |
| ablomen | could be that it is | 10:34 |
| ablomen | not sure | 10:34 |
| ablomen | id google a bit more first, before you start adding files etc | 10:34 |
| cody-somerville | Does anyone know the package that lets you use the mouse in vts? | 11:31 |
| ablomen | gpm? | 11:42 |
| cody-somerville | thanks | 11:46 |
| ablomen | np :) | 11:46 |
| hooch | is there a gui widget to set the regional settings on xubuntu? like date formats and so on? | 12:36 |
| ablomen | hooch, you want to change the language settings etc? | 12:48 |
| hooch | language is fine. timezone is fine. | 12:52 |
| hooch | but if there's a panel in the gui to control regional settings somehow.. | 12:53 |
| TheSheep | system->languages | 12:53 |
| TheSheep | other than that you need to do it from the command line | 12:53 |
| gnomefreak | just checking something | 12:58 |
| kripz | anbody know of any FTP clients that support http proxy? | 13:11 |
| ablomen | kripz, gftp should | 13:13 |
| hooch | thx TheSheep | 13:48 |
| vecciora | Why Ubuntu doesn't make a useful multi-function panel like SUSE and Mandriva does? | 14:12 |
| vecciora | Yast2 and drakconf were useful and easy to use. | 14:13 |
| Myrtti | "LOL?" | 14:15 |
| mr_boo | does anyone know how i could mount my xubuntu machine on another ubuntu one using samba? | 14:51 |
| Myrtti | why use samba when you could do nfs? | 14:51 |
| Myrtti | it's easier to set up | 14:51 |
| mr_boo | well, samba seems to be compatible with nautilus | 14:52 |
| mr_boo | i can't view any nfs's in "places->network browser" | 14:53 |
| mr_boo | that and the fact that i wanna share with windows machines as well | 14:53 |
| mr_boo | is it foolish? | 14:53 |
| Myrtti | nope | 14:54 |
| mr_boo | i like nautilus since i don't have to specify tons of stuff in the terminal window to do the same job | 14:54 |
| mr_boo | but then i found this heartbreaking thread, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/209520 | 14:55 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 209520 in nautilus "SMB error: Unable to mount location when server configured with security=share" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 14:55 |
| mr_boo | :('' | 14:55 |
| mr_boo | i haven't specified any password protection on the xubuntu machine :''( | 14:56 |
| mr_boo | ok, here comes a straight forward question: how do i unauthentify the xubuntu server? | 14:59 |
| ablomen | mr_boo, in smb.conf, use the "force_user" option on the share | 15:01 |
| mr_boo | ablomen: on the server side then? | 15:01 |
| ablomen | force user=LOCAL_USERNAME and force group=LOCAL_GROUP will stop the client needing to log in | 15:02 |
| ablomen | yeah | 15:02 |
| mr_boo | nice, gonna try | 15:02 |
| ablomen | oh and available = yes & browseable = yes & public = yes & writable = yes | 15:02 |
| ablomen | they will help too | 15:03 |
| ablomen | *those | 15:03 |
| anabelle | hello | 15:20 |
| anabelle | what package manager shoul I use in XFCE? | 15:20 |
| ub511 | hello all, i have via epia C3, i installed xubuntu but i couldn't get sound, how can i fix this ? | 15:20 |
| anabelle | I'm installing stuff fron the terminal but i can't remember all the names | 15:20 |
| ablomen | anabelle, xubuntu has add&remove like ubuntu | 15:21 |
| ablomen | anabelle, on the cli you can use apt-get or aptitude | 15:21 |
| anabelle | I can't find add&remove | 15:21 |
| anabelle | maybe because i installed XFCE on top of a minimal install | 15:22 |
| anabelle | Im running XFCE over debian minimal in a 48MB RAM PC | 15:22 |
| ablomen | oh | 15:22 |
| anabelle | I love it!!! but i have no package manager :( | 15:22 |
| ablomen | yeah you do, you have apt :) | 15:23 |
| anabelle | I mean, no GUI | 15:23 |
| anabelle | ;) | 15:23 |
| ablomen | apt-get install synaptic :) | 15:23 |
| anabelle | installing | 15:23 |
| ub511 | how to make my sound work ? | 15:24 |
| ub511 | now it work :) | 15:24 |
| maxamillion | synaptic is a turd | 15:28 |
| maxamillion | a big honking, fat, bloated, memory hogging turd | 15:28 |
| maxamillion | errr... gotta run | 15:29 |
| anabelle | i've installed synaptiv, but i can't run it | 15:30 |
| ablomen | anabelle, sudo synaptic doesnt work? | 15:31 |
| Odd-rationale | anabelle: are you running xubuntu or debian? | 15:31 |
| anabelle | debian | 15:31 |
| anabelle | logged in as root | 15:31 |
| Odd-rationale | anabelle: try the #debian channel | 15:32 |
| anabelle | now it started | 15:32 |
| anabelle | it just took abouyt 2 minutes to load | 15:32 |
| anabelle | is there anything lighter than synaptic? | 15:32 |
| Odd-rationale | anabelle: aptitude | 15:34 |
| anabelle | but is aptitud a GUI? | 15:35 |
| Odd-rationale | yes. curese gui... ;) | 15:35 |
| anabelle | i want the kid that is going to use this PC to browse trough programs and install what he wants | 15:35 |
| anabelle | ok :) will try then | 15:35 |
| Odd-rationale | start it with "aptitude" | 15:36 |
| Odd-rationale | anabelle: but again, you would get better support in the #debian channel. this channel is rather xubuntu specfic... | 15:36 |
| mr_boo | ablomen: still around? | 15:37 |
| mr_boo | after editing the smb.conf will changes take affect at once? | 15:38 |
| Odd-rationale | mr_boo: maybe not. try "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart" | 15:38 |
| ablomen | Odd-rationale, darn you, your to fast ;) | 15:39 |
| Odd-rationale | ;) | 15:39 |
| mr_boo | thanks | 15:39 |
| mr_boo | dum di dum... | 15:42 |
| mr_boo | still "failed to mount windows share" | 15:42 |
| mr_boo | maybe i should authenticate the share with a password | 15:42 |
| mr_boo | and hope at least the password dialog to appear... | 15:43 |
| mr_boo | i guess that would be "password =" | 15:43 |
| mr_boo | Odd-rationale: do you think "password =" in that share would solve the problem? | 15:44 |
| ablomen | mr_boo, you have to add the samba users too | 15:45 |
| ablomen | mr_boo, man smbpasswd | 15:45 |
| mr_boo | ablomen: i've done so by adding the "force user =" and "force group =" right? | 15:45 |
| ablomen | nah you have to add a user to samba first, it has its own list of users | 15:46 |
| mr_boo | so from the server side i need to specify in detail who can view anything on it? | 15:46 |
| mr_boo | is that correct? | 15:46 |
| ablomen | well on the server side you have to make (a) user(s) that samba can use to authenticate | 15:47 |
| ablomen | this can/must be a physical user on the server | 15:47 |
| mr_boo | no need for firewalls then | 15:48 |
| mr_boo | noone that is not "invited" can connect | 15:48 |
| ablomen | heh yes you do, i dont think samba is that secure, not sure though, im no expert | 15:48 |
| ablomen | and if you use force user etc then everybody can connect | 15:49 |
| ablomen | except if you whitelist ip's in say iptables or the likes | 15:49 |
| mr_boo | now i've added a user | 16:07 |
| mr_boo | and even configured a samba password :) | 16:08 |
| mr_boo | lets see if this will rock | 16:08 |
| ablomen | (restart samba to be sure btw) | 16:08 |
| mr_boo | done that too | 16:08 |
| ablomen | :) | 16:08 |
| mr_boo | grr, still the message "failed to mount windows share" | 16:08 |
| ablomen | :/ | 16:09 |
| mr_boo | it should at least launch pwd dialog | 16:09 |
| mr_boo | now lets assume it this is a bug in nautilus here and that the xubuntu share works well | 16:10 |
| mr_boo | then maybe one could choose a command line approach maybe | 16:11 |
| ablomen | sshfs :) | 16:11 |
| mr_boo | gonna try | 16:11 |
| mr_boo | i was hoping to stay away from networking stuff with the command line but it appears as it might be the only option | 16:12 |
| Stroganoff | mr_boo: http://tomfichtner.de/linux/wiki/FuseSMB http://tomfichtner.de/linux/wiki/Samba | 16:28 |
| mr_boo | Stroganoff: thanks | 16:28 |
| mr_boo | i'll read up on that | 16:29 |
| mr_boo | many thanks for all help | 16:29 |
| mr_boo | i'll sort this out sooner or later (prolly later :P ) | 16:29 |
| eustas | please, help me! xfce4-panel doesn't start auomatically | 17:18 |
| cody-somerville | eustas, hello | 17:20 |
| cody-somerville | eustas, Press alt+f2 and type in xfce4-panel | 17:20 |
| cody-somerville | hit run | 17:20 |
| eustas | thank you! | 17:25 |
| eustas | would t automatically start next session? | 17:25 |
| zoredache | eustas: it should. How did it get disabled | 17:27 |
| eustas | zoredache: it disappeared after licq tried to accept file and failed to do that | 17:29 |
| zoredache | ah, so it probably was probably some glitch somewhere. Everything will probably be fine | 17:31 |
| AlexCONRAD | hello, how can I rebuild (respin) a xubuntu disc ? I'd like to have an automated, custom installation disc containing extra packages to be installed (no network, all CDROM) | 17:44 |
| AlexCONRAD | i've read about kickstart, preseed, cdebootstrap, but none of them are well documented and I can't seem to figure out in which direction to go | 17:44 |
| zoredache | AlexCONRAD: you'll want to use the alnternet installer and preseed in my opinion | 17:45 |
| AlexCONRAD | zoredache: i do have the alternate CD | 17:45 |
| AlexCONRAD | xubuntu preseed doesn't show much on google on how to understand preseed | 17:46 |
| zoredache | AlexCONRAD: as for documentation on preseed. I found that it was easer to read the debian docs | 17:46 |
| zoredache | both debian/ubuntu-alternate use the same installer | 17:46 |
| zoredache | AlexCONRAD: here is the link I worked off of - http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed | 17:46 |
| suRs | hello | 17:46 |
| zoredache | obvously you have to some minor translations since this is ubuntu and not debian. but the docs are mostly useful | 17:47 |
| AlexCONRAD | zoredache: thanks, I'll go read that. Is there some "post" install possiblities like kickstart provides? Like doing non-package related operations ? | 17:48 |
| zoredache | AlexCONRAD: there are lots of options. I think there may be some post install stuff. If you didnt' find what you need you could write a script, package it, have it installed, then make it so it only runes once post-install | 17:49 |
| AlexCONRAD | zoredache: ok, so I guess I'll have to learn how to package | 17:50 |
| AlexCONRAD | :) | 17:50 |
| zoredache | hacking together a binary package that only contains a script is really easy | 17:50 |
| zoredache | all you really need to do is make a folder with the files in the structure you want, and you have to create the control file | 17:51 |
| Jester45 | where is the file that makes the menu at? or is it dynmically created | 18:04 |
| TheSheep | Jester45: it's dynamic, created from files in /usr/share/applications/ | 18:05 |
| Jester45 | ok | 18:05 |
| TheSheep | and ~/.local/share/applications/ | 18:06 |
| Jester45 | thanks | 18:06 |
| suRs | hello | 18:14 |
| suRs | anone here? | 18:16 |
| cody-somerville | suRs, yup | 18:16 |
| suRs | hay cody | 18:16 |
| AlexCONRAD | what does "d-i" stands for ? | 18:19 |
| AlexCONRAD | in a preseed file | 18:19 |
| zoredache | debian installer | 18:19 |
| suRs | hum | 18:21 |
| suRs | i just installed wine | 18:21 |
| suRs | how do i run it? | 18:21 |
| TheSheep | suRs: double click on some .exe file | 18:21 |
| suRs | ooo | 18:21 |
| suRs | nice | 18:21 |
| suRs | need to test | 18:21 |
| suRs | how do i create a terminal icon on my desktop ? O_o | 18:23 |
| TheSheep | suRs: cp /usr/share/applications/xfce4-termina.desktop ~/Desktop/ | 18:24 |
| suRs | cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/applications/xfce4-termina.desktop': No such file or directory | 18:24 |
| zoredache | try terminal | 18:24 |
| aanderse | lol | 18:24 |
| zoredache | instead of termina | 18:24 |
| suRs | ok | 18:25 |
| TheSheep | sorry | 18:25 |
| aanderse | hey suRs, how's your desktop coming along? :) | 18:25 |
| suRs | thanks | 18:25 |
| suRs | worked :p | 18:25 |
| TheSheep | amazing | 18:25 |
| suRs | aanderse do you whant a screen shot? :p | 18:25 |
| aanderse | of course! | 18:25 |
| Myrtti | !tab | 18:26 |
| ubottu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 18:26 |
| Myrtti | ^ | 18:26 |
| suRs | well i send you a one soon | 18:27 |
| Jester45 | how can i remove network manager and hardware driver icons from my system tray | 18:29 |
| TheSheep | Jester45: go to autostarted applications | 18:31 |
| TheSheep | Jester45: and uncheck them | 18:31 |
| TheSheep | then log out and log in | 18:31 |
| Jester45 | TheSheep: the regular updater should update my drivers shouldnt it | 18:33 |
| Jester45 | or does the manager runs special scripts | 18:34 |
| TheSheep | no idea | 18:34 |
| TheSheep | I think the drivers are in normal repositories, so they should get updated normally | 18:34 |
| Jester45 | guess i will see when new ones come out | 18:35 |
| AlexCONRAD | zoredache: i got that: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/amd64/appendix-preseed.html | 18:42 |
| Jester45 | it worked thanks | 18:44 |
| Jester45 | TheSheep: do you know how the package menu makes it's menu? is it dynamic also | 18:50 |

| mrbubbles | hi | 19:28 |
| mrbubbles | i've got an old laptop with just 64MB RAM. will xubuntu run terribly on it? | 19:29 |
| Jester45 | mrbubbles: you will have to use some diffrent programs to reduce memory useage | 19:30 |
| Jester45 | like you may want to switch xfwm with openbox to speed things up a bit | 19:31 |
| Jester45 | or xterm with xfce4-terminal | 19:32 |
| Jester45 | right now i use 87mb after i boot up but im sure that could go down more | 19:33 |
| mrbubbles | i've been looking for distros already designed for low hardware specs. damn small linux is running pretty well, but at the expense of stuff i want to keep like usb device detection | 19:34 |
| Jester45 | my sugestion is install xubuntu and remove/replace things | 19:35 |
| mrbubbles | if the devices are plugged in at startup then they'll work, but otherwise they won't, unless by some software i don't know about | 19:36 |
| Jester45 | replacing the 2 above things saves a few mb but dont lose any functionality | 19:36 |
| Jester45 | or if you want to play music use mpd + sonata | 19:37 |
| aanderse | mpd + the ncurses frontend | 19:45 |
| aanderse | sonata is written in python! too high! | 19:45 |
| Jester45 | or just mpc | 19:46 |
| aanderse | mhm | 19:46 |
| aanderse | do a command line install | 19:46 |
| aanderse | then just pick your pieces | 19:46 |
| ablomen | i'd try puppy linux, its a lot quicker | 19:46 |
| === |hfsdo| is now known as hfsdo | ||
| ablomen | boots up in a few seconds on faster hw, so older hardware should do pretty well too | 19:47 |
| Stroganoff | mrbubbles, due to bug #202959, hardy cannot install on 64mb ram | 19:53 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 202959 in debian-installer "[hardy] generating locales stalls on 64mb ram" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/202959 | 19:53 |
| ablomen | ooh thats not good | 19:55 |
| Stroganoff | yep | 19:56 |
| Stroganoff | you have to install gutsy CLI minimal, upgrade to hardy, then install icewm or something | 19:56 |
| Boxxxer | hello | 20:19 |
| Boxxxer | please tell me how can i make a screenshot of the whole screen in Xubuntu | 20:20 |

| zoredache | once it is added just click the button | 20:20 |
| Boxxxer | thanks for the tip | 20:20 |
| Stroganoff | ablomen, aanderse, mrbubbles: here's my workaround.. http://tomfichtner.de/linux/wiki/LowMemory | 20:25 |

| megamaced | hi, I connect to the internet via wireless. I am using ndiswrapper and network-manager. Everytime I log into my computer I get asked for my keyring password. How can I get Network-manager to authenticate automatically? thanks | 23:24 |
| cody-somerville | riddlebox, the fist result for googling "Xubuntu Compiz" :) http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/12/09/xubuntu-compiz-pretty-pretty-xubuntu/ | 23:25 |
| riddlebox | cody-somerville: I searched for it and followed a howto, and when I rebooted I had no x, so I was a little leary | 23:27 |
| cody-somerville | :] | 23:28 |
