[00:17] can anyone tell me what the icon pack is that xubuntu uses default after install? [00:17] the xfce icon pack [00:24] wrtpeeps: i look in another users settings that i "think" has original xubuntu theme and its "clearlooks". (I am not sure it is the true answer, but it is an answer) [00:25] cheers [00:25] and it was xubuntu 7.10, dont know about 8.04 [00:28] i mean icon theme [00:28] i think clearlooks is a normal theme? [00:29] wrtpeeps: maybe this is the defaults: /etc/xdg/xfce4/mcs_settings/gtk.xml [00:29] then theme is "Human" in xubuntu 7.10, and icons "Tango" [00:30] ty [00:39] hello, my problem is that i have installed preload in xubuntu 8.04 hardy, it was suppoused to load in the startup scripts, but even at typing the command /etc/init.d/preload start it shows me a message that says the following: "Starting preload: preload.". however, when i see the executing process list, preload doesn't shows up. could somebody please help me?. Please, i accept private msg too [00:43] did you check the systlog? [00:44] did you look at /etc/preload.conf ti see if there was anything that needed to be configured? [00:44] no, i will check it out now [00:45] i have already seen it and the sentences are activated. [00:45] zoredache [00:47] the problem is that the daemon, doesn´t loads [00:47] and there is nothing in syslog, dmesg, daemon.log when it starts? [00:47] /etc/inid.d/preload start and .... Starting preload: preload. [00:49] no, it´s empty the file daemon.log [00:50] zoredache [00:53] how are you running '/etc/inid.d/preload start' ? [00:53] you are root when you do that or you are calling with sudo right? [00:53] root [00:53] sudo too [00:53] it´s the same thing [00:54] ? [00:54] not entirely... [00:55] sudo partely inherits the enviroment of the user running it. In weird cases I have seen this cause problems [00:55] ok, i will do it now, as root [00:55] you might try an 'sudo -i' which will give you a root shell with a clean enviroment [00:56] see [00:56] /etc/init.d/preload start [00:56] Starting preload: preload. [00:56] root == # [00:58] all I am doing is randomly guessing... You might want to look and see if there is an IRC channel or mail list specifically devoted to preload... You could also check in #ubuntu. [00:58] :S [00:58] unlikely [00:59] but it's probably in wikia.ubuntu.org [00:59] com [00:59] Well I had just installed preload, and it seemed to start fine on my system... Not that helps you at all [01:00] I'd imagine you'd have to configure preload [01:00] no, in ubuntu nobody answers [01:00] for each app [01:00] I doubt it would preload everything [01:00] but it could [01:03] To monitor your resources used by Preload type the command [01:03] sudo tail -f /var/log/preload.log [01:15] Sydero [01:15] preload.log error is: [01:16] failed reading state from /var/lib/preload/preload.state: line 186: invalid syntax [01:16] I would be tempted to deleted (or move) the file /var/lib/preload/preload.state [01:17] so you start with an empty state [01:17] what's on line 186? [01:17] yeah probably [01:24] gotcha! [01:24] apt-get remove --purge preload and aptitude install preload and... preload run!!!! run forest!! [01:25] that's a bit redundant :S [01:25] apt-get purge preload [01:25] works too [01:33] anyone about to give me a hand? [01:33] !anyone | chill [01:33] chill: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [01:34] i have a terminal window loading on boot to /etc and i need to figure-out what is calling it up on boot, searched the forums, but i dont think i know what to look for to find what my problem is [01:35] A terminal? You mean when you boot up you see a gui with a terminal, or? [01:36] is this after you login? [01:37] boot, gui login, loads desktop, panels, and first workspace has terminal in /etc loaded; before i went through every panel item that i added i was wondering if there was a log (saving me from rebooting 5-6 times) [01:37] its an older laptop and does take 30-45 sec... bit annoying [01:38] ok, so you get a terminal after you login that you aren't expecting? Things like that are frequently from session saving [01:38] close the terminal, logout and make sure you check the box to save your session [01:39] yeah, had that issue [01:39] one time i logged in with no top panel, and my WM was wonky [01:39] had no title bars with minimize, shade, close, expand buttons [01:40] the "save session for future logins" option on the shutdown / suspend / hibernate dialog box ? [01:40] yes [01:40] ok - i will have to try that in a bit, downloading ubuntu for my other laptop (hd died, good thing for warranties) [01:41] exactly it [01:41] thanks for the help [01:41] any personal experience with speedstep on p3 laptop ? [01:41] if that doesn't help you might also try just deleting (or moving) everything in '.cache/xsession' [01:44] i have a script for my xchat to get song info from banshee thru dbus... it's being a pain [01:44] only worked once [01:44] any advice? [01:44] errrr [01:45] write a better script? [01:45] banshee told me one time that there was a problem with dbus [01:45] not being able to communicate [01:45] let me test [01:45] * bassboi is listening to: "Wasteland" by 10 Years on The Autumn Effect; Rated: Not Rated. (0:05/3:50) [01:45] WTF [01:45] ? [01:46] it works [01:46] it works now... [01:46] thus communication is not the problem [01:46] ok then, fool is i [01:48] which cpu scaler is the most effective in xfce ? (ive had problems w/ cpufreqd, powernowd, powersave, trying to configure cpudyne now), any suggestions for a p3 laptop? [01:48] scratch that - trying to configure cpufreqd [01:49] wow. audio sounds WAY better on xubuntu than winxp [03:28] anyone have experience with "cpufreq-selector" and boottime script? [04:42] I'm trying to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04, but it stops at "Generating locales...". Anyone able to help out? [05:13] The past week i have tried to come up with a solution for authenticating linux clients to W2k3 AD, and also mount the users /home folders when they login, with no extra authentication. seems that the mounting of /home..is the biggest problem here. so if this aint possible. is there a "easy" howto..to do the same thing with a openLDAP server as authentication? === gaurdro_ is now known as gaurdro [09:05] Hay. dose any1 know how to get the touch screen working on a Fujitus siemens B-2131?

[14:46] bassboi: can you still read it under linux? [14:46] yep [14:46] bassboi: maybe you didn't unmount it properly? [14:46] oh wow [14:47] can i reboot the live CD and unmount it? [14:47] i didn't unmount it :| now that you say that [14:48] if you closed the system proper\ly, it should also unmount automatically [14:50] hm odd [14:50] i remember the terminal telling me that it would clear some sort of cache [14:51] being it was a ntfs-3g mount [16:45] hello, whenever i try and apply new settings for my wifi adapter, the system freezes and i have to cut the power to restart? any idea?
