| lmartin92 | in synaptic I think it's named fusion icon | 01:41 |
| lmartin92 | fusion-icon | 01:41 |
| lmartin92 | install that, then look in Applications>System>Compiz Fusion Icon to get it to display in the top bar..... (looks like a box | 01:42 |

| josinalvo | hi there ! My mom is using a xubuntu, and frequently alters xfce configurations by accident. I'd like to avoid that by changing the permissions of the config files. Where are them ? Can I set them to have no write permissions, or will xfce work badly ? | 02:22 |
| Zeeded | hmmm | 02:24 |
| Zeeded | Just wondering | 02:24 |
| Zeeded | How the hell do you "accidentally" alter them? Now I am still SOME WHAT new to Linux, but that is not something that happens on accident easily :/ | 02:25 |
| The_System | Hi | 02:41 |
| The_System | any one there? i need help with something | 02:41 |
| The_System | hello? | 02:48 |
| josinalvo | Zeeded: i am not here when she does it =P I just find all icons in the task bar misconfigured. They used to be shortcuts to programs, but end completely undefined | 02:48 |
| Zeeded | Ah | 02:49 |
| josinalvo | The_System: usually, dont ask to ask =P and know that on IRQ people take time to respond | 02:49 |
| Zeeded | Well I can understand that. | 02:49 |
| Zeeded | The_System; Just ask and people will answer | 02:49 |
| The_System | Well | 02:54 |
| The_System | i'm having trouble installing my radeon drivers | 02:54 |
| The_System | sorry btw, i'm used to a game i play's irc, when like every one is always talking hah | 02:55 |
| The_System | any way, i have the drivers downloaded | 02:56 |
| The_System | and all of the tutorials on how to install i found it either are wrong, or don't really explain what to do, like what to type in the shell | 02:57 |
| josinalvo | The_System: as far as I know, you could use the tools in xubuntu, and download would be automatic ... (sorry, but I dont know exactly where. Should be in a systems>proprietary drivers or something) | 03:02 |
| The_System | okay | 03:07 |
| The_System | now it says i dont have 3d acceleration enabled | 03:07 |

| pfctdayelise | how do i change which program auto-starts when i insert a CD? | 05:32 |
| JinKazama | hi all :) | 09:35 |
| lmartin92 | favro: the mouse config died yesterday........ | 11:30 |
| favro | lmartin92: I had a mouse that wouldn't work after login - unplugging/replugging it got it going - as for your situation I can only suggest it might be hardware issues? - time for a new mouse maybe? | 11:32 |
| ohgodnotanother1 | hi | 11:41 |
| ohgodnotanother1 | when I insert a data CD it doesn't get mounted. what could be the problem? I've burnt it with brasero | 11:41 |
| ohgodnotanother1 | the CD contains an AVI file and it does playback on my DVD player without any problems | 11:42 |
| TheSheep | ohgodnotanother1: have you tried to mount it manually? | 11:44 |
| ohgodnotanother1 | i don't know the device name | 11:45 |
| TheSheep | ohgodnotanother1: /dev/cdrom | 11:45 |
| TheSheep | ohgodnotanother1: mount /dev/cdrom should work | 11:45 |
| ohgodnotanother1 | TheSheep: I feel dumb now, but that did work | 11:46 |
| TheSheep | ohgodnotanother1: that's actually bad, because it means the automounter doesn't work for some reason | 11:46 |
| ohgodnotanother1 | TheSheep: brasero said it was unable to eject the CD - whereas it did eject it - and stopped without performing a dataintegrity check. what could cause this? | 11:47 |
| TheSheep | ohgodnotanother1: can you go to setting manager -> file manager -> advanced and click on 'configure volume manager' link, then make sure the options in there allow automounting? | 11:47 |
| ohgodnotanother1 | TheSheep: I checked the settings manager and it should mount ejectable media automatically | 11:47 |
| lmartin92 | favro: I guess so | 11:48 |
| TheSheep | hmm... might be that brasero didn't leave your cd drive in the previous state | 11:48 |
| ohgodnotanother1 | TheSheep; "Enable Volume Management" is checked | 11:49 |
| TheSheep | lmartin92: is it an USB or PS/2 mouse? | 11:49 |
| TheSheep | or maybe COM... | 11:49 |
| lmartin92 | TheSheep: USB | 12:10 |
| lmartin92 | favro: do you think sudo modprobe usbmouse would restart the mouse? (read it somewhere a year ago if I remember right) | 12:10 |
| favro | lmartin92: afaik you have to remove then reinsert a module | 12:11 |
| favro | afaik... | 12:11 |
| TheSheep | lmartin92: you might check lsusb to see if the mouse appears in there, and dmesg for any errors... | 12:12 |
| lmartin92 | it doesn't show up | 12:12 |
| lmartin92 | it shows a couple of other usb devices though | 12:12 |
| lmartin92 | dmesg (apt-get install *) what will * = to get dmesg | 12:15 |
| TheSheep | lmartin92: it should be there | 12:15 |
| TheSheep | lmartin92: just type 'dmesg' | 12:16 |
| lmartin92 | funny, worked that time, but the first time I tried it didn't work, guess I mistyped | 12:16 |
| tillux | heya, I'm trying to find out the name of xubuntu-app: it's the one that provides some kind of splash screen (not the boot splash), for example there is one "theme" for that app that shows a mous running in the ubuntu-logo or a 'flashing' mouse ;) | 12:16 |
| tillux | +an | 12:17 |
| TheSheep | tillux: check settings manager, splash screen | 12:17 |
| tillux | TheSheep: I want to know the app's name, not where to find it, 'cause I know that it's in the settings manager :D (btw I haven't got an xubuntu installation anywhere nearby rightnow) | 12:18 |
| TheSheep | tillux: I think it's part of xfce4-session | 12:18 |
| tillux | TheSheep: okay, do you by chance know if there's an equivalent of it in ubuntu/gnome? | 12:18 |
| TheSheep | tillux: I know that gnome used to have a splash screen too, but no idea how it's called | 12:19 |
| TheSheep | tillux: and whether it's still there | 12:19 |
| lmartin92 | [ 664.922791] usb 2-5: device not accepting address 37, error -71; think that's my dumb mouse? | 12:19 |
| TheSheep | lmartin92: yes, that's a broken cable | 12:19 |
| tillux | TheSheep: okay, thanks | 12:19 |
| TheSheep | lmartin92: or some other connection along the way | 12:20 |
| TheSheep | lmartin92: I had teh same error with my scanner, replacing the cable fixed it | 12:20 |
| lmartin92 | TheSheep: my mouse works atm, but it dies everyonce in a while...... (I hope you didn't think because of my non-clarification that my mouse was dead atm) | 12:21 |
| TheSheep | lmartin92: so there must be a loose wire | 12:22 |
| TheSheep | lmartin92: maybe I'm wrong, you can google for the error and see if someone had something similar | 12:22 |
| lmartin92 | ok | 12:23 |
| lmartin92 | (however, I think I have noticed that when I can't use my mouse, all other usb devices die also........ so I started to think it was a usb problem) | 12:23 |
| TheSheep | lmartin92: may be, the missing link may be anywhere alongthe way, in mouse, in usb hub, inside your computer | 12:24 |
| TheSheep | lmartin92: but if it only happens with the mouse... | 12:24 |
| lmartin92 | yes, (this may mean I have to open the system up again; sigh.....) | 12:25 |

| uwav | hi. i'm having some trouble getting resolutions configured properly in xubuntu hardy 8.04 lts. what i've done so far is edit xorg.conf to use the "nv" driver (nvidia riva 128 onboard graphics on this computer) and also set the proper HorizSync and VertRefresh statements in the Monitor section | 16:31 |
| uwav | before, the resolution was way too low, 800x600 @ 60 Hz but that was fixed after adding the proper sync statements. now my resolution is too high, and for some weird reason also my fonts are a bit smaller than they should be, even after lowering the resolution through the GUI | 16:32 |
| uwav | also the GUI seems to only set the resolution for the particular user, the log in screen is still in too high resolution | 16:32 |
| wols_ | set the resolutions you want in your xorg.conf too | 16:47 |

| coco_van_locko | it is a AMD Duron 700MHz with 192mb ram | 19:11 |
| coco_van_locko | no | 19:11 |
| coco_van_locko | ok | 19:11 |
| totalwormage | try it :} | 19:11 |
| coco_van_locko | i will do this | 19:11 |
| coco_van_locko | thx | 19:11 |
| Qball | hmm found the info | 19:14 |
| Qball | eeuh error | 19:14 |
| Qball | no dbus- is active | 19:14 |
| Qball | session dbus.. | 19:14 |
| Qball | I did enable "start gnome services" | 19:15 |
| Qball | should that be started automagically? | 19:17 |
| coco_van_locko | @ totalwormage: CD Test -> no errors ! | 19:22 |
| coco_van_locko | check now the RAM | 19:22 |
| coco_van_locko | some other solutions ? | 19:23 |
| totalwormage | well, i would suggest to use the alternate cd, but otherwise i wouldn't know | 19:23 |
| Qball | should xfce session start dbus? | 19:26 |
| Qball | hi totalwormage | 19:26 |
| Demios | i've been trying to compile but i keep getting errors the last one i got told me i didnt have pkg-config, so i installed it via synaptic now i get this http://pastebin.com/m4f17f6d9 | 19:32 |
| totalwormage | heyy Qball :]] | 19:32 |
| Demios | anyone know what i'm doing wrong? | 19:32 |
| Qball | you are missing developers packages | 19:35 |
| totalwormage | you'll at least have to install build-essential and the packages listed in what you pasted | 19:35 |
| Qball | libgtk2.0-dev and so | 19:35 |
| totalwormage | (what Qball says) | 19:35 |

| Demios | i need a smoke | 19:51 |
| totalwormage | sudo apt-get install cigarette | 19:54 |
| Demios | heh | 19:56 |
