| homebrewcider | hey there, got a dual boot system, xubuntu being default, plugged a USB keyboard in, works in Xubuntu fine, but when son goes to select Windoze on boot, it won't let him go down to the windoze part at the boot screen | 02:34 |
| homebrewcider | any ideas? | 02:34 |
| Odd-rationale | homebrewcider: does the keyboard not work at all in the boot menu (GRUB) ? | 02:36 |
| cody-somerville | homebrewcider, his computer is too old and his bios doesn't support USB | 02:36 |
| Odd-rationale | ah, i didn't realize that there were computers that old... :) | 02:37 |
| homebrewcider | tried to hit the down button but to no avail | 02:37 |
| cody-somerville | Odd-rationale, plug in a psaux keyboard and it'll work fine | 02:37 |
| cody-somerville | er | 02:37 |
| cody-somerville | homebrewcider, | 02:37 |
| homebrewcider | I can boot to a usb drive if necessary so that would mean the bios was fine wouldn't it? | 02:38 |
| homebrewcider | I'll work on this later | 02:42 |
| cody-somerville | It isn't that the bios doesn't "support" usb | 02:44 |
| cody-somerville | it doesn't support taking usb input | 02:45 |

| kripz | my touchpad keeps pasting when i use the scroller... how do i stop this? | 09:41 |
| kripz | it seems to be vertical scroll causin it | 09:42 |
| === gabkdlly|away is now known as gabkdlly | ||
| gabkdlly | kripz: sounds like some crazy third mouse button action going on. You could try deactivating the third mouse button in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:54 |
| kripz | ive disabled emulate3button or whatever but that didnt do it | 09:54 |
| gabkdlly | hmmm, http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.0/doc/html/mouse.4.html | 09:59 |
| gabkdlly | does that help? | 09:59 |
| gabkdlly | I am guessing you want to change your mouse from a three button to a two button | 10:00 |
| gabkdlly | Option "Buttons" "2" | 10:03 |
| gabkdlly | you might try just adding that | 10:03 |
| gabkdlly | in the proper section of course | 10:03 |
| kripz | i cant restart X yet so ill try it later | 10:05 |
| kripz | gabkdlly, do you know what the button combo involving scroll is to paste? | 10:06 |
| gabkdlly | pressing the middle mouse button (per default) pastes whatever you last highlighted | 10:07 |
| gabkdlly | on my mouse, the scroll wheel also serves as the middle mouse button | 10:07 |
| gabkdlly | I think a lot of mouses are built like that | 10:08 |
| gabkdlly | mice :) | 10:08 |
| gabkdlly | so, I guess Xorg is getting confused when it gets taps on the "scroll wheel", which is (I am guessing) just a region on your track pad | 10:09 |

| kripz | is it possible to find the value of a setting currently used by X? i need to find the value of an autodetected value | 12:02 |
| lc2 | yes it should be | 12:03 |
| lc2 | what do you want to find out? | 12:03 |
| kripz | Buttons | 12:03 |
| lc2 | buttons? | 12:03 |
| kripz | Option "Buttons" "integer" | 12:05 |
| kripz | Specifies the number of mouse buttons. In cases where the number of buttons cannot be auto-detected, the default value is 3. The maximum number is 24. | 12:05 |
| lc2 | oh okay | 12:06 |
| lc2 | lemme look | 12:06 |
| lc2 | grep 'Configured Mouse\: Buttons\:' /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 12:09 |
| lc2 | although that tells me i have nine, lawl. | 12:09 |
| kripz | hmm | 12:11 |
| lc2 | 4 and 5 being the mousewheel | 12:11 |
| kripz | trying to figure out my problem when i scroll using the touchpad and i end up pasting | 12:11 |
| lc2 | kripz: you need to set your Z-axis mapping manually | 12:12 |
| lc2 | inb4 "how do you do that", i don't know but i can find out for you | 12:13 |
| kripz | currently its at grep 'Configured Mouse\: Buttons\:' /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 12:13 |
| kripz | grep 'Configured Mouse\: ZAxisMapping\:' /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 12:13 |
| kripz | (**) Configured Mouse: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 | 12:13 |
| kripz | althought i dont know what that means | 12:14 |
| lc2 | the Z axis is what a scroll wheel usually operates | 12:15 |
| kripz | ok so i mapped negative motion to button 4, and positive to 5, that sounds correct | 12:15 |
| lc2 | scroll down = button 5, scroll up = button 4 normally | 12:16 |
| lc2 | that's what most mice do | 12:16 |
| lc2 | brb tea | 12:16 |
| lc2 | okay, kettle's on | 12:17 |
| lc2 | what you need to do, is figure out what buttons are being sent when you scroll using the touchpad | 12:17 |
| lc2 | you can do that by opening xev in a terminal and watching what happens in the terminal as you do so in teh window | 12:18 |
| kripz | ok | 12:20 |
| lc2 | do me something, press every button in aforementioned xev window and tell me what buttons send what | 12:20 |
| lc2 | and we can try a temp fix with xmodmap before screwing with your xorg.conf | 12:21 |
| kripz | lc2, 5/4, but i do have Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" | 12:21 |
| kripz | ok ill try every button | 12:21 |
| kripz | left = 1, right = 3, left+right = 2, vert scroll = 4up, 5 odwn, hori= 6left, 7 right | 12:25 |
| kripz | lc2, tapping sections of the vert scroll rfesults in different buttons | 12:26 |
| lc2 | hm, what | 12:26 |
| lc2 | and vert scroll makes you paste | 12:26 |
| lc2 | ? | 12:26 |
| kripz | yes | 12:27 |
| kripz | tapping the very top of vert scroll results in button 2 | 12:27 |
| kripz | which is middle mouse click? | 12:27 |
| kripz | i think thats the prob | 12:27 |
| lc2 | yes, that is | 12:27 |
| lc2 | *thinks* | 12:27 |
| kripz | http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.0/doc/html/mouse.4.html | 12:28 |
| lc2 | thinkpad by any chance? | 12:29 |
| kripz | xorg says synaptic touch pad | 12:29 |
| lc2 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=544747 | 12:29 |
| lc2 | try that | 12:30 |
| kripz | hmm none of these settings have any affect | 12:41 |

| cyzie | hi, does upgrade check for foreign package (custom package) and it will break the upgrade? | 18:22 |
| bullium | how often does xubuntu update packages? | 19:44 |
| Odd-rationale | bullium: depends, really... | 19:45 |
| bullium | I've just noticed that ubuntu has upgraded to firefox 3 and xubuntu is still on beta 5...I mean I've downloaded firefox 3 from mozilla's site so I'm running the latest anyway...just curious is all | 19:50 |
| Odd-rationale | bullium: strange. all the *buntus uses the same repos... so you whould be able to install anything you can in ubuntu. maybe you need to update your repo? (sudo apt-get update) or you might have a slow mirror... | 19:53 |
| bullium | Odd-rationale: I prolly do | 20:00 |
| bullium | Odd-rationale: yep slow mirror...changed to a new mirror 114 updates including firefox :) | 20:07 |

| kibibyte | how to add remove programs entries from menu | 21:00 |
| kibibyte | from start menu | 21:00 |
| eago | hi.... i was wondering if other then the windows manager are there more differences between ubuntu and xubuntu | 21:04 |
| TheSheep | !xubuntu | 21:04 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 21:04 |
| TheSheep | eago: basically only the set of default applications | 21:05 |
| kibibyte | help | 21:05 |
| kibibyte | TheSheep, help | 21:05 |
| TheSheep | kibibyte: settings->settings manager->menu editor | 21:05 |
| eago | ok... thanks | 21:05 |
| kibibyte | but its empty | 21:05 |
| TheSheep | kibibyte: yes, so you can add to it | 21:06 |
| kibibyte | i mean there are no entries from my menu | 21:06 |
| kibibyte | just some separators and system | 21:06 |
| eago | so... if i install ubuntu and then a lightweight windows manager it will be justa s fast? i plan to install in an old puter | 21:06 |
| TheSheep | kibibyte: it's merged with the automatically-generated menu | 21:06 |
| kibibyte | where can i find this auto menu | 21:06 |
| TheSheep | kibibyte: it's generated dunamically from your installed applications | 21:07 |
| TheSheep | kibibyte: from files in /usr/share/applications/ | 21:07 |
| whileimhere | Hi. Is there a way to reset my desktop back to its default look with a panel on the top and bottom etc without having to do it manually? | 21:07 |
| TheSheep | whileimhere: yes, you can just delete your config from .config/xfce4/xfce4-panel | 21:08 |
| kibibyte | TheSheep, which file? | 21:08 |
| whileimhere | Can I do that while I am in XFCE and then restart X? | 21:08 |
| TheSheep | kibibyte: all of them | 21:08 |
| TheSheep | kibibyte: one per application | 21:08 |
| whileimhere | Sorry I got bumped can you please repeat your answer | 21:09 |
| TheSheep | whileimhere: it's kept in ~/.config/xfce4/panel/ , you can delete it and then it will reset to defaults | 21:10 |
| whileimhere | Okay I have deleted the panel folder now just re-start X? | 21:11 |
| TheSheep | yes | 21:11 |
| whileimhere | okay here I go | 21:11 |
| whileimhere | Thank you so much that worked! | 21:13 |
| whileimhere | I have panels back and everything is very nice. | 21:13 |
| whileimhere | Do the panels have the ability to become transparent? | 21:14 |
| TheSheep | yes, if you have compositing enabled in window manager tweaks in settings | 21:14 |
| TheSheep | (last tab) | 21:14 |
| whileimhere | I know this will sound silly but is XFCE really that much less resource intense than KDE? | 21:15 |
| Odd-rationale | generally speaking, yes. | 21:15 |
| TheSheep | especially the file manager | 21:15 |
| whileimhere | Ok the programs I mostly use anymore are DigiKam, Amorak, and K3B I should not have any issues with those on here should I ? | 21:16 |
| TheSheep | though it's at the cost of sume functionality | 21:16 |
| TheSheep | whileimhere: no, but they will look out of place, as they are kde apps | 21:16 |
| Odd-rationale | whileimhere: try f-spot, banshee, and brasero as replacements... | 21:16 |
| TheSheep | bleh, banshee | 21:16 |
| whileimhere | Honestly from a pro photo standpoint f-spot leaves way to much to be desired. | 21:16 |
| Odd-rationale | whileimhere: plus, running kde apps will start up extra lib and stuff... | 21:16 |
| TheSheep | it's not really lighter :) | 21:16 |
| whileimhere | I see. | 21:17 |
| whileimhere | So KDE is what I should stay with then | 21:17 |
| TheSheep | exaile looks like amarok | 21:17 |
| kibibyte | TheSheep, but i see NetBeans entry in my menu and i canot find any file for netbeans in the directory you told me | 21:17 |
| kibibyte | i want to remove it | 21:17 |
| TheSheep | kibibyte: maybe just uninstall netbeans if you don't want it? | 21:18 |
| kibibyte | i uninstalled it but it still there | 21:18 |
| TheSheep | kibibyte: how did you install it in the first place? | 21:18 |
| kibibyte | with netbeans install script | 21:19 |
| kibibyte | and it added menu entry somehow | 21:19 |
| TheSheep | and how did you uninstall? | 21:19 |
| kibibyte | remove dirs | 21:19 |
| TheSheep | apparently it left a lot of trash behind, that wasn't very wise | 21:20 |
| kibibyte | i removed all .netbeans files | 21:20 |
| TheSheep | kibibyte: check ~/.local/share/applications/ | 21:20 |
| kibibyte | ok its there :d | 21:21 |

| cody-somerville | There is a workaround listed in the bug. | 23:22 |
| billenium | Okay well in the workaround i dont know how to do the first one :P | 23:23 |
| billenium | so i guess i just have to restart... | 23:23 |
| billenium | A couple times | 23:23 |
| cody-somerville | just push ctrl + alt + backspace | 23:23 |
| billenium | ah okay | 23:23 |
| billenium | Then attempt to login? Then do that over and over until it stops? | 23:24 |
| cody-somerville | It'll only restart X which is much quicker then restarting your computer. | 23:24 |
| billenium | okay thanks | 23:24 |
| billenium | bye bye :P | 23:24 |
| cody-somerville | You can also press ctrl + alt + F1 | 23:24 |
| cody-somerville | IT'll put you in the virtual terminal | 23:24 |
| cody-somerville | And you can login and type: | 23:24 |

| billenium | ? | 23:24 |
| cody-somerville | no | 23:24 |
| cody-somerville | ps x | 23:24 |
| cody-somerville | and find the pid number of "dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session" | 23:25 |
| billenium | okay | 23:25 |
| cody-somerville | and then type: kill -9 <pid> | 23:25 |
| billenium | well ill try CRTL+ALT+BACK first :P | 23:25 |
| cody-somerville | replacing <pid> with the pid of the processes | 23:25 |
| cody-somerville | Okay :) | 23:25 |
| billenium | okay | 23:25 |
| billenium | Look at that! | 23:26 |
| billenium | So what are the main differences between xubuntu and ubuntu... gnome and xfce? | 23:26 |

| billenium | Yup :) | 23:26 |
| TheSheep | what's xcb exactly? | 23:26 |
| cody-somerville | TheSheep, a library that is supposed to be better than libx11 or something | 23:27 |
