[00:15] hello [00:17] hi foug [00:18] hi, i'm wondering about pulse audio [00:18] i use ubuntu not xubuntu, but the #ubuntu channel is pretty worthless [00:19] xubuntu doesn't use pulseaudio by default [00:19] ahh, so you don't know anything about it then? ;\ [00:19] a little [00:19] what are you wondering about? [00:19] just, where i can access the settings for it [00:20] thare is a number of gui tools [00:20] there [00:20] so, i'd have to download a gui tool first? there isn't one with ubuntu by default [00:20] they are all called pa-something, I think [00:21] try tab-completion in a terminal [00:22] paman, pavucontrol, pavumeter [00:22] and pulseaudio-utils [00:29] allright, thank you [04:15] can someone help me install a theme/ === adam is now known as maxamillion [04:16] can anyone help? [04:21] hi all... I just installed xubuntu (from kubuntu kde4) and I love it. [04:21] awesome [04:21] :) [04:22] what's really the difference as far as aspect is concerned between gnome and xfce? they look VERY similar. [04:23] one question: does it come with a default terminal app? I don't see one in my menus. [04:24] nvm.... found it [04:24] any recommended html editor with ftp? [04:24] filezilla? [04:25] can anyone help me with installing a theme? [04:27] evilbug: xfce is largely coded in C, so it is fast. the codebase is cleaner in xfce, too. [04:27] ramin: i can help w/ installing a theme. [04:28] hey there [04:28] hi ramin [04:28] hi, thanks for coming to the help [04:28] so you want to install a theme. have you downloaded the theme file? [04:28] indeed, it is http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php?content=56438&forumpage=21 [04:29] it needs to install a theme engine first [04:29] ok. where did you download the file to? [04:29] and well, i downloaded it [04:29] i extracted to 2 tarballs [04:29] ok. where did you extract them to? [04:29] extracted aurora file [04:29] um [04:29] /home/ramin/gtkrc [04:30] do you want the themes to be available for all users or just you? [04:30] just me [04:30] only one user anyway [04:30] right [04:30] as the instructions say [04:30] i have to do this [04:30] make install [04:30] but when I do that [04:31] it tells me I have no make target 'install' [04:31] hm [04:31] when you type, sudo apt-get install build-essential what happens? [04:32] uh, wait [04:32] you need some software to help you build software [04:33] oh [04:33] I have to install build-essential [04:33] should I? [04:33] the build-essential package will give you that software, so yes. [04:33] otherwise 'make' won't make anything [04:33] ah, now that makes sense [04:34] k, it's done installing [04:34] now let me try [04:34] ok [04:36] make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. [04:36] I never understand that [04:37] did you try, 'sudo make install' [04:37] w/o the ' marks? [04:38] i just did, doesn't work, gives me the same error [04:38] did you google that error? [04:38] that was dumb of me, no, let me do it now [04:39] did you run ./configure [04:39] and then make [04:39] first? [04:40] yep [04:40] ok. :] [04:43] i will try installing it myself, and see what i get. [04:43] thanks [04:44] I'll be back in like 10-15 minutes, but if Im not here, [04:44] just write it out in irc, and i'll read [04:51] hi guys, how to mount windows partitions on my xubuntu [05:05] jlmc [05:08] were you able to do anything? [05:09] i'm trying [05:10] k [05:10] when i configured the aurora engine, i got GTK+-2.10 is required to compile aurora [05:10] so i need to do that first. [05:10] i see [05:14] jlmc [05:14] can someone tell me how to add a konqueror launcher icon to the panel in xfce ? [05:14] sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev [05:18] ramin: yes :) [05:18] so, how did you configure the rest? what did you do for make install [05:19] i'm running make now [05:19] ah [05:20] ramin: it worked for me. [05:20] omg [05:20] what did you do? [05:20] did you use ./configure --prefix=/usr ? [05:21] rand0m: i can help you [05:21] rand0m: have you installed konqueror? [05:21] absolutely. [05:21] .....yes [05:21] heh [05:22] I did that, [05:22] what did you do next? [05:22] just right click on the panel, and select add new item [05:22] then select 'launcher' [05:23] you can type 'konqueror' in the command line [05:23] did you just run make? [05:23] jlmc: where do I find the icon tho ? [05:24] alright jlmc, something is happening [05:25] rand0m: try /usr/share/icons ... is there a konqueror icon in there? [05:26] nope [05:26] i just installed xubuntu on a macbook pro and i'm following the ubuntu instructions to set it up. i'm having a little trouble with this command "gksu gedit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common" how would i run it in xfce? [05:27] rand0m: what about /usr/share/applications [05:28] newp [05:29] wtf.. my mouse just randomly stopped working [05:30] thank you so much jlmc [05:30] the touchpad on my laptop still works [05:30] buuut mouse is f [05:30] I got it to work [05:30] ´d [05:30] a lot easier than I thought it was [05:31] brb i need to reboot.. an update completed [05:31] rand0m: sorry i can't find the icon. [05:31] i should know where it is, but i can't find it. [05:31] ramin: glad i was able to help. [05:31] enjoy the theme! [05:31] and where can i find the power options in xfce? [05:31] jlmc, itś all good.. itś probably supposed to be where you said, so the problem is likely that itś not where itś supopsed to be [05:31] ok how about this one ? [05:32] how come when i just type as usual, with apostropheś, it shows up like that? [05:32] accenting letters instead of apostrophizing [05:33] evilbug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/243848 [05:33] Launchpad bug 243848 in gnome-power-manager "[Xubuntu Hardy] the launcher icon of gnome-power-preferences is not shown in the menu" [Undecided,Confirmed] [05:33] check out that bug [05:33] rand0m: when you type 'locale' what is the result? [06:19] I'm trying to install xubuntu 7.10 on a Dell Latitude LS. (8.04 CD didn't write properly, and I had a 7.10 lying around.) It needs an 800x600 resolution, but it the LiveCD installs "Default" 1024x768. Close buttons, menu items all sorts of stuff is off the screen. Aargh. I've been searching the web for days. Anyone know how to deal with this? I've tried editing xorg.conf, but can't find the magic combination. [06:31] I am have noticed a couple issues that I, and others, have had that haven't been solved on the forums. First, upon returning from suspend, there is no password prompt. Does anyone know a solution for this? [06:33] can anyone help me install this,http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-places-plugin [06:34] http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-places-plugin [06:34] what distro? [06:34] xubuntu [06:34] i need help building the tarball, basically [06:35] version 1.1 [06:35] i extract it, [06:35] and go to the directory [06:35] I then type ./configure [06:35] they are in the repos [06:36] it goes [06:36] and then I type make [06:36] but it says no target file [06:36] i'll check [06:37] you can install it via synaptic. Just search for goodies and look for xfce-goodies [06:37] k, thank you [06:37] no problem [06:38] Anyone know how to enable a password prompt upon returning from suspend? [06:39] I don't see the one I need though, it is for Places [06:40] i think that smartbookmark tool is the one you are looking for [06:40] that is the version on the site [06:40] I see, well, I just want my harddrives to be listed in Places [06:42] well try it out, and if it doesn't work, come back!! [06:42] i just tried xfce4-goodies [06:46] don't see anything that could help me exactly [06:46] when you open thunar, you should have a side panel that shows the items on your places menu and your mounted drives [06:47] well [06:47] that's the problem [06:48] my harddrives had to be manually mounted [06:48] they were mounted into a directory though [06:48] hmm [06:48] why did they have to be manually mounted? [06:49] Im not sure, xubuntu would just not see my NTFS drives, but if I did, fdisk -l, it would find them [06:49] hmm [06:49] thats above my head [06:49] haha [06:50] yeah, so I just wanted to install that thing, so it would have folder shortcuts leading to the mounted hard drives [06:50] right now, it's like /media/hde [06:50] you could add a bookmark in that panel to /media. that would at least eliminate a lot of mouseclicks [06:51] how would i do that [06:51] That's actually what I was meaning to do [06:51] on xfce, you can't really add things to the places [06:52] click on the file system bookmark [06:53] right click on the media icon and select "send to sidebar" (create bookmark) [06:53] Awesome! [06:53] Your my hero [06:53] that is exactly what I wanted [06:53] thank you [06:54] right on [06:55] have you ever had the problem where if you right click on something, the menu goes away all of a sudden, and then you have to keep right clicking? [06:56] nope [06:56] weird [06:56] could be your mouse too [06:56] indeed [06:56] especially since im so ghetto [07:13] for some reason, my kensington optical mouse just randomly stops working.. even when i change ports it doesn´t work.. when i reboot, it works for a bit but shortly thereafter, stops again [07:21] for some reason, my kensington optical mouse just randomly stops working.. even when i change ports it doesn´t work.. when i reboot, it works for a bit but shortly thereafter, stops again [07:21] err sorry [09:49] Hozsanna testverek [09:50] Hozsanna === __alexconrad is now known as AlexCONRAD [12:11] hi [13:34] hi, are there any respins for xubuntu that has the latest packages? [13:34] that's for CD custmomization [13:35] you mean Intrepid? [13:35] hello TheSheep, I don't know, what's intrepid ? [13:35] * AlexCONRAD 's googling for it [13:35] !intrepid [13:35] Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - #ubuntu+1 for discussion | Warning lots of breaking software between now and October! [13:36] ah, no alpha [13:36] some CD respin with the latest current updates [13:36] the last stable is Hardy [13:36] I just saw there's Xubuntu 8.04.1 Released [13:36] I believe the cd's now downloadable are that [13:36] 8.04.1 [13:37] ah, I'm not up to date [13:37] yay, new kernel [13:40] where are the release notes ? [13:46] Hello [13:47] I have a VERY annoying bug or material problem with my apple ibook G4. When I'm typing the touchpad randomly clicks and I almost don't touch it, How can I deactivate touchpad click ? [13:47] because it was possible with gnome === adam is now known as maxamillion [14:17] hello === gaurdro_ is now known as gaurdro [16:22] did anyone else's panels disappear with the 8.04.1 update? [16:22] thinkmassive, try pressing Alt+F2 and running "xfce4-panel" :) [16:23] that gets them back but I don't want to do that everytime [16:23] thinkmassive, you shouldn't have to do that every time [16:23] oh ok, thank you [16:23] Once ought to be enough :) [16:25] my nm-applet has stopped responding too [16:25] Hmm... What do you mean by "the 8.04.1 update" by the way? Did you do a fresh install? [16:26] no, I installed the update that became available this morning [16:27] the Update Manager told me there were updates available and I actually didn't read through all of them like I usually do, I just remember seeing some kernel updates and a bunch of other stuff [16:28] But that's not "the 8.04.1 update", those are just regular update. 8.04.1 is just an updated ISO including all updates up til then [16:28] Oh wait... [16:28] I get it - it must be because the release announcement only appeared on the website yesterday. My bad :( [16:29] it doesn't make a difference if I get there using a fresh install from a cd or by downloading and installing updates, I'm still at version 8.04.1 [16:29] True [16:39] what's the release rate of new ISO updates? like 8.04.1 ? [16:39] AlexCONRAD, .2 isn't scheduled yet [16:39] cody-somerville, I believe it was something like every three months? [16:40] that would be neat [16:40] vinnl, I strongly doubt it. [16:40] vinnl, it takes a lot of effort to do a release, even a point release [16:41] cody-somerville, AlexCONRAD: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/146 [16:41] "We also committed, for the first time, to a regular set of point releases for 8.04 LTS. These will start three months after the LTS, and be repeated every six months until the next LTS is out." [16:41] okay, so every six months [16:41] that makes more sense [16:58] where can I see releases-notes of the xubuntu kernel? [16:58] is there a README or something ? [16:59] I had problems with my network card (realtek RTL8111C) and I used to patch my kernel. I just upgraded and it seems that my network card now works [16:59] without the patch [16:59] most of the time notes and change logs go into /usr/share/doc/{packagename} === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache [16:59] is that related to kernel.org, or could it be a *buntu fix ? [17:00] zoredache: ok, I'll look here [17:01] if something was fixed upstream in the kernel though you might have to look at the upstream change logs which are kernel.org [17:01] they may also be included in the kernel docs if if you install the docs package [17:05] there's a commit regarding the driver's module on the kernel's changelog: Sun Apr 27 17:59:52 2008 +0200 [17:07] not sure if that's a fix to my problem though [17:10] AlexCONRAD, You might ask in #ubuntu-kernel [17:10] cody-somerville: thanks, didn't know about that [17:10] np :) [17:11] AlexCONRAD, You seem pretty knowledgeable. Would you be interested in helping contribute to Xubuntu? [17:15] cody-somerville: im honored. Although I'm not sure I have the skills for that (nor the time, but little contributions are always nice) [17:15] cody-somerville: what does it consiste in really ? [17:15] consist* [17:16] AlexCONRAD, Everyone can contribute as little or as much as they like. Xubuntu is a community project and is held up and supported via "many hands make light work". [17:16] AlexCONRAD, you might want to join #xubuntu-devel if you're interested :) [17:16] * cody-somerville nods. :) [17:17] what do I get if I sign? [17:18] a warm fuzzy feeling for having contributed [17:18] like, be able to commit or so ? have an email @xubuntu ? [17:18] It's a great feeling :) [17:18] girls tatooed xubuntu all over the place ? [17:18] xD [17:19] :) [17:19] AlexCONRAD, I'm working on getting @xubuntu e-mail addresses for contributors [17:19] AlexCONRAD, But you'll get nice launchpad badges and if you do well you'll get commit access of course :) [17:20] cody-somerville: dont worry, I'm fine with my email. I just wanted to know if I get any more privilege [17:20] cody-somerville: ok, so it's about contributing on the mailing list and so, right? [17:20] it can be said that you get the potential for more privilege [17:21] AlexCONRAD, hehe. Well, contributing on the mailing list is part of it but there is a lot of other stuff like bug triage, bug fixing, packaging, writing documentation, helping others, and much more. [17:21] well, I'll subscribe xubuntu-devel if it's all the implication it needs [17:21] AlexCONRAD, you might also want to see xubuntu.org/devel [17:21] I'm scared about commit, i'd rather have the approval befor e:) [17:22] i only like to commit my own projects [17:22] :) [17:23] AlexCONRAD, Don't worry. We won't let you break anything :) [17:23] is https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel it ? [17:23] AlexCONRAD, and if you do, no biggie. We'll help you fix it :) [17:23] AlexCONRAD, Yup. [17:24] done [17:24] i was following (from very far) the XFCE list already [17:24] although, I'm not desktop user really (yet) [17:24] * cody-somerville nods. [17:24] i'm setting up some kind of setopbox [17:25] automation install (preseed and such) [17:25] :) [17:25] anyway, I'll be glad to help if I have any chance [17:25] * cody-somerville nods. [17:25] AlexCONRAD, #xubuntu-devel is a great place to hang out to spot such chances :) [17:25] \0/ [17:26] brb [18:10] is there a tool to disable the automatic start on boot of some services like lighttpd & else? or do I have to rmeove them automatically in init.d / rc.d [18:10] Snoopotic, there's Applications->System->Services if I'm right [18:11] Snoopotic, if not everything is listed there you could install Boot-Up Manager [18:12] Anyway, I'm off, good luck [18:19] in regular Ubuntu, you could browse and connect to computers on a local network. how do i do that in Xubuntu? [18:20] Arth-Vader, download pyNeighborhood [18:20] Arth-Vader, or use fusesmb [18:22] Hello [18:23] Can anybody help me with a problem I've encountered with Ubuntu? [18:23] Anybody? [18:24] let me get my crystal ball first [18:24] Alright [18:24] !question [18:24] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [18:26] I installed Ubuntu for the first time. I logged in, and everything was fine and dandy. Then I installed 41 updates, restart my computer, and I get a command shell and I do not know how to log in. [18:26] What is the prompt you get? [18:27] (initramfs) [18:27] try typing "exit" without the quotes [18:27] then hit the enter key [18:28] cody-somerville - i think in Ubuntu it was a local FTP connection [18:28] my other computer is a Mac [18:28] I've tried that, it just clears the screen and makes a new prompt. [18:28] Arth-Vader, Unfortunately there isn't really anything in Xubuntu currently that can do that. [18:28] As in it asks for (initramfs)_ again [18:29] okay [18:29] Arth-Vader, I use curlftps though to mount remote ftp servers though. [18:29] Give me a minute to look this up [18:29] Ok thank you [18:30] cody-somerville - is that command line? [18:30] Arth-Vader, yup [18:35] Bubalooshi: what is the version of ubuntu [18:35] 8.04, downloaded it a couple hours ago [18:39] If you want the specific file name, it was ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386 [18:39] Okay, thanks [18:40] Did you get any errors during the installation? [18:40] Do you mean it completely stopped installing? [18:41] I didn't have to do anything, it installed. [18:41] No, while you were putting Xubuntu on the drive [18:42] I'm still confused-- I installed it through Windows. [18:42] You mean you put the cd in the drive and ran it [18:42] Yes, that's what I did. I chose the install through Windows option and configured it. [18:42] Is there a cd still in the drive? [18:43] No, I took it out after I logged in and installed the updates. [18:43] Told me I had to restart, so I did, and I get this message. [18:46] Can you try Ctrl-D then. It will either exit this prompt and continuue or it will restart. [18:46] I will try that. [18:46] It is on this computer and I am on Windows now, so I will be back. [18:47] Let me know what happens, I'll be here for a couple of hours === thinkmassive is now known as Guest57279 [19:42] hmmm, having trouble getting mpd to see my mp3 collection [19:42] I installed the w32codecs [19:42] but it still can't see anything [19:42] dromer, mp3 isnt covered by w32codecs [19:43] you need lame for that :) [19:43] hmm, thought it was .. well totem can play mp3 anyway (from ffmpeg right?) [19:43] yeah [19:43] what mpd deamon are you using btw? [19:44] so mpd still can't see my collection .. [19:44] mpd == daemon [19:44] or what version you mean? [19:44] heh right, srry bout that :P [19:44] hmm, not sure what version [19:44] where can I check? :P [19:45] oh yeah not the version, i was just being stupid ;) [19:45] then what do you want!! [19:45] :P [19:45] anyway try just installing lame [19:45] Do you mean client? :) [19:45] hmmm [19:45] ncmpc ofcourse ;) [19:46] * vinnl uses three different clients :P [19:46] which ones? :) [19:46] mpc for keyboard shortcuts, the Xfce panel plugin for clicking and (atm) gmpc for when I want more :) [19:46] Gotta love mpd :) [19:47] ok, lol [19:47] I only use ncmpc and sometimes one of those firefox plugins [19:47] I found one recently that was pretty cool, can't recall the name though .. [19:48] ok, lame is installed .. do I restart mpd first or just try to update the db? [19:48] I made a symlink in /var/lib/mpd/music to the dir containing the files btw [19:49] ok, didn't work :/ [19:50] does the mpd users have access to the files? [19:50] I am back after I was given help tips, and I have another question. [19:50] welcome back [19:51] Thanks, I have a quick question. [19:51] Bring it on :) [19:51] I am stuck with my resolution at 800x600 [19:51] zoredache: afaik it does .. [19:51] hmmm, maybe I need to chown the symlink to mpd [19:51] I cannot change it to what I normally use it at, 1280x1024 [19:51] chowning the link won't do anything [19:52] Bubalooshi, which version of Xubunt uare you using? [19:52] The newest one, 8.04.1 desktop [19:52] dromer: you might want to try doing something like 'sudo -i -u mpd' or whatever the name of the account is that mpd uses [19:52] * cody-somerville recommends sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh [19:52] * cody-somerville and then suggests restarting X. [19:52] zoredache: doesn't even work .. what do I do then? the symlink is owned by root, could that be it? [19:52] zoredache: what does that do? [19:53] Bubalooshi, have you already tried running displayconfig-gtk? [19:54] dromer: it makes you become the mpd user... once you are the mpd user try and cd into /var/lib/mpd/music/whatever [19:54] No, I haven't. It is on this same computer, so what should I do after I run that? [19:54] Bubalooshi, you can choose your monitor from there (you need to run it as root by the way) [19:54] And then you should be able to pick the correct resolution (hopefully :) [19:55] Ok, thanks. I'll try that right now. [19:55] zoredache: can just fine [19:55] zoredache: cd to that dit that is [19:55] as the mpd account? [19:55]
