[02:12] does anyone know how I can manually mount my digital camera? [02:17] sprauerkraut: does lsubs show it? [02:17] lsusb [02:17] lemme see [02:18] yes [02:18] Bus 004 Device 007: ID 040a:0598 Kodak Co. [02:18] Bus 004 Device 007: ID 040a:0598 Kodak Co. [02:20] so is there still hope? [02:21] does ls /proc/bus/usb show anything? [02:21] or /sys/bus/usb [02:22] ls /proc/bus/usb doesn't show anything [02:22] ls /sys/bus usb shows: [02:22] devices drivers drivers_autoprobe drivers_probe [02:23] sprauerkraut: I'm trying to find where it says what device your camera is bound to [02:23] TheSheep: i understand, i can't figure that one out myself, thats why im on here [02:23] TheSheep: yeah, how do i know what device its bound to? [02:24] sprauerkraut: maybe just run 'sudo lsusb | less' and look for your camera there [02:24] TheSheep: it shows it there, but doesn't give me a device [02:25] TheSheep: well, i lied, it gives me this "Bus 004 Device 008: ID 040a:0598 Kodak Co." [02:25] TheSheep: can i use any information there to mount? [02:26] sprauerkraut: are you sure it behaves like an usb drive? do you need a special program on windows to access it? === lavish_ is now known as lavish [02:27] TheSheep: im not really sure, i mean, it came with software, but who uses that, haha [02:27] TheSheep: i know it has an internal drive [02:28] sprauerkraut: so you can just connect it under windows and it's visible as a disk? [02:28] TheSheep: does this help any "[ 2256.868000] usb 4-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9 [02:28] TheSheep: i don't have a windows machine [02:29] I ask because some cameras are not visible as a disk, tehy use special software to communicate with computer, and if that's the case, you cannot mount it, you must install and use f-spot or similar program to manage the photos [02:29] f-spot eh? [02:29] it's the default photo viewer for ubuntu [02:29] k, i'll check it out [02:29] not sure if gqview can manage cameras too [02:31] k i'll look at that too [02:31] ah, 'fdisk -l' might list your camera if it's mountable [02:31] sudo fdisk -l [02:32] nope, don't see it [02:33] pleia2, am now [02:33] TheSheep: f-spot is doing the trick [02:34] TheSheep: thanks for your help holmes === tuna-fish is now known as tuna === btipling_ is now known as btipling === daurnimator is now known as zz_daurnimator === zz_daurnimator is now known as daurnimator [05:33] hi i'm having a problem getting the d-bus plugin on pidgin working on xubuntu 64bit. 8.04 [07:25] I can't make shared printing work in 8.04. Do you have to open some ports for some services in the server machine? [07:50] jarnos: unless you did something the firewall defaults to an open state [07:57] zoredache: I use Firestarter. I had to open port for SSH server, but I have not configured otherwise. I think inbound traffic is restricted by default. [08:00] Anyway what is the name of the network service associated with shared printing? [08:01] depends on what kind of shared printing your doing [08:01] cups can do a lot, but if you want the servers to be shared to Windows clients, then samba is needed also [08:11] Myrtti: Now it would be enough to get cups working. But cups is not listed as a service name in Firestarter's policy editor. [08:11] what about cupsd [08:12] Hi, I was editing menus on Xubuntu and I accidentally... er... how to put this? Saved over the default main menu, with applications and settings and everything. Is there any way I can get back the default layout? Or at least the way to rebuild it, with the code for a setting list and an applications list etc? [08:13] at the moment, when you click on it you just get a name that says, 'settings'... but doesn't actually DO anything [08:13] Myrtti: neither that. [08:13] (Xubuntu 7.10) [08:14] HiedraVenonata: good question. I think there should be a command to rebuild menu. [08:15] yes [08:15] Jarnos: at the moment it is difficult to start most applications [08:17] HiedraVenonata: does xfce4-appfinder help? [08:18] I'm a little new to Xubuntu... I can open 'run application' by alt-f2 - is there another way? [08:19] jarnos: The other day Firefox shut down and wouldn't work, and to close it I would need to open System Monitor, but I couldn't OPEN system monitor [08:20] HiedraVenonata: how could you open firefox, then? [08:20] jarnos: I had the launcher on a panel [08:22] HiedraVenonata: try to put launcher for xfce4-terminal in a panel. In terminal you can launch "xfce4-appfinder &". [08:22] HiedraVenonata: or put it's launcher straight in a panel. [08:22] jarnos: I'll try that,,, if I can open terminal [08:31] HiedraVenonata: Why couldn't you if you make a launcher for it in a panel? [08:48] can I do that by just right-clicking and 'add new item' [08:50] jarnos: so in terminal I type xfce4-appfinder & ? [08:51] HiedraVenonata: yes [08:51] okay [08:51] I now have appfinder open [08:51] jarnos: wonderful,,, [08:51] HiedraVenonata: I suppose now it is easier to launch applications by it than by a broken menu. [08:51] jarnos: how did I add that to the panel? [08:52] HiedraVenonata: right-click a panel an add item. [08:53] jarnos: can you add anything though? I thought it had only a small selection... of course I add a custom launcher. Why didn't I think of that? Oh I did. Never mind. Thanks [08:53] HiedraVenonata: you can add a launcher for any application. [08:54] jarnos: I just remembered custom launcher... but what is the command for System Monitor? In case Firefox stops working, or any other program, and it needs to be terminated via that? [08:55] HiedraVenonata: gnome-system-monitor [08:55] jarnos: it's just there in Appfinder... this is great. I don't suppose gnome-do would work on Xubuntu...? gnome-do is ultimate, although I never use that term [08:56] HiedraVenonata: You'll be surprised how many gnome and kde apps work by xubuntu. [08:57] jarnos: oh? maybe I'll download gnome-do... it is truly great. Only this computer is terribly slow, so maybe it wouldn't run... I have plenty of space, just not speed,,, [08:58] HiedraVenonata: What is gnome-do? [09:00] jarnos: it is a program,,, the command to open is windows-key (I don't know the proper name, but on computers designed for windows it looks like a windows flag,,,) and space bar, and a box opens in the middle of the screen, and you type and it does things,,, it gives you a list of options, you can search the web, start a chat, open applications, log out, shut down, all sorts of things, almost anything you can imagine [09:00] jarnos: got to go,,, thanks for your help. just search the web for gnome-do [09:02] * jarnos still wonders why he can't see the shared printer in a client Xubuntu computer. [09:26] * jarnos is considering installing another distribution on printer server computer. === pronto is now known as pronto-aWay [10:07] * pronto-aWay is Away, Reason: ( sleep ) | Since: ( Tuesday, June 24, 2008. 03:34:21 ) Xlack v2.1 [10:12] !away > pronto-aWay [11:09] Newest Xubuntu, VLC media player 0.8.6e, can't pause after loading subtitles.

[11:40] pingu__: right-click on the panel, select 'add item', select the weather plugin, configure it [11:47] TheSheep: I know that, but Xubuntu doesn't run on the computer. [11:48] huh? where does it run? [11:48] What? [11:50] I don't understand the question. === narfee_ is now known as Narfee === vistakille1 is now known as vistakiller [12:29] What software to use to manage power system? [12:40] temoto-mobi: gnome-power-manager [12:41] TheSheep, so xfce is basically gnome? [12:41] no [12:41] but it uses some programs that are used also by gnome [12:42] TheSheep, ok, thanks. [12:42] so, which uses less resources; kubuntu or ubuntu? [12:42] and is that the right use for ;? [12:43] Woo_, i heard gnome is less resource requiring. [12:43] Woo_, they basically recommend xfce when you're low at resources. [12:43] Woo_, or even smaller systems like blackwm. [12:44] yeah, but xubuntu doesn't like my computer so i can't [12:44] Woo_, i think gnome ubuntu won't like your box more than x. [12:44] no i ran an old ubuntu verison a few years ago on it without problems [12:45] Woo_, that's quite strange, isn't it? [12:45] not on linux it's not [12:47] though windows is updates less, i guess they would be equalyl compatible with the same release pattern [12:48] Woo_: bad news for you: xubuntu, ubuntu and kubuntu all use the same system underneath, so if xubuntu just deosn't work, there is a fair chance neither will [12:48] Woo_: what is wrong actually? [12:49] after the progress bar with the xubuntu logo has run for a bit it just blinks | [12:50] can you be a little more specific? it happens when you're booting the live cd, the alternate cd, the installed system? what blinks -- the progress bar or the whole screen or is the monitor changing modes? [12:52] when i boot live, or try to install. It's just a black screen with a | in the top left. [12:53] Woo_: did you try various boot options? you get some suggestions when you press f1 [12:53] !boot [12:53] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [12:57] i tried two boot options, live and install [12:57] and memory [12:58] I mean the options you add to the boot line [12:58] like noacpi or nolapic [12:58] they might be needed for some computers [13:01] no i haven't tried that [13:02] Hi all! Quick Question about screen resolution (yes,I know, not another one !) [13:02] is this the right place^ [13:02] ? [13:02] yes [13:03] Excellent, I have low-res settings (Max 800x600)... [13:03] I tried the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg... but I think there's something missing... [13:04] The reconfigure never asks me about my monitor or video card. [13:04] PatriceCalve: it changed, now you should use 'sudo displayconfig-gtk' [13:04] they made a gui app for it [13:05] haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa man ! lol !!!! weeks of tweaking, googling !!!! [13:05] sorry :) [13:05] I saw this gui app once after a ctrl-alt-backspace and never had it again ! [13:06] Thanks, TheSheep ...but can i make the weather numbers bigger? i cannot see it really good [13:06] pingu__: I think you can make the panel larger, I'm not sure [13:07] this would be a nice addition to get this utility merged with the Applications -> Settings -> SettingsManager -> Display [13:07] or at least have a button to launch the displayconfig-gtk from it. [13:08] ok [13:12] woohoo ! excellent ! I'm running the right screen resolution after 2-3 months of breaking xubuntu and re-installing the OS (I'm now quite good at installing Xubuntu, haha). thanks ! [13:14] TheSheep: Ubuntu booted. [13:14] Woo_: great! [13:15] PatriceCalve: excellent!

[14:25] ..alt+f4 ? [14:26] ok, easy enough [14:26] didn't know if it was the same as on windows [14:28] yes [14:29] and if you want to be able to forcefully terminate a program [14:29] applications -> settings -> settings manager, go to keyboard, shortcuts, add one with your desired key combo, set the command to xkill [14:30] when you hit the combo, you then click on the window you want to forcefully terminate [14:30] a,c,up,b,up,b,a,down is easy enough combo [14:54] by the way ampex [14:55] in linux the windows key is called super [14:58] lolwut [14:58] i thought super = windows key [14:58] oh wait [14:58] that's what you said lols [14:58] disregard that === totalwor1age is now known as totalwormage [15:14] Is Opera and/or Epiphany generally a recommened browser for slower computers under Xubuntu?

[16:10] menu->settings->settings manager [16:10] then window manager tweaks, and then the last tab in that window [16:10] then you just check "enable display compositing" and you should be ready to go [16:12] ablomen: my last tab is "Placement" [16:12] ablomen: I don't see anything about compositing [16:12] oh.. [16:12] DVDs doesn't play normally with VLC anymore [16:12] did you install the apopriate drivers for your videocard (do you have 3d rendering?)

[16:27] ampex2, nah [16:30] oh well yeah some sources say you do, but its not in my xorg.conf [16:30] but you can try anyway [16:30] oh wait [16:30] ampex2, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xfce#How_to_enable_the_compositor_in_Xfce_4.4 << see this [16:30] *look at [16:31] anyway i have to go [16:31] good luck gynterk and ampex2 [16:35] tux racer works just fine [16:35] hmmm [16:50] hey wat [16:50] ubuntu doesn't have assaultcube in teh package repositories?
