| evilbug | 1.) there's a panel item in gnome called Drawer where all shortcuts are placed, how can i do that in xubuntu?; 2.) how do i add Places in the main menu? | 07:01 |
| mespejel | hi.. one question.. 64 bit edition is just for amd processors??? i cant use 64 bit edition with intel core duo??? | 07:13 |
| evilbug | 64-bit is for all 64-bit processors. | 07:14 |
| evilbug | there are some compatibility issues with flash and some other stuff on 64-bit though. just stick to 32-bit, it really doesn't make a difference in performance unless you use it for scientific computations. | 07:15 |
| mespejel | i see | 07:15 |
| mespejel | thanks | 07:16 |
| mespejel | cause i read its for AMD64 or EM64T architecture | 07:16 |
| mespejel | so i was not sure about using it with intel | 07:16 |
| favro | is there a file I can edit/create to get autostarted apps? - there's no menu entry for it... | 08:39 |
| evilbug | favro- there should be one by default. | 08:55 |
| favro | evilbug: that was my impression as well... | 08:56 |
| evilbug | Applications > Settings > Autostarted Apps | 08:56 |
| favro | Applications > Settings > Nothing About Autostarted Apps | 08:56 |
| evilbug | if there's not, then something went sideways at install. did you use the livecd or alternate? | 08:56 |
| favro | nada | 08:56 |
| evilbug | ? | 08:57 |
| favro | evilbug: alternate | 08:57 |
| favro | ? | 08:57 |
| evilbug | oh... the alternate worked better for me :| the livecd install didn't boot the newer kernels.... | 08:57 |
| evilbug | did you have the cd verified after burn? | 08:58 |
| favro | everything is fine except for the menu entry for autostarted apps | 08:58 |
| favro | yeh did the md5 check | 08:58 |
| evilbug | and it's the 8.04.1 i_386 .iso? | 09:02 |
| favro | I need a file in ./.config/autostart for each app :) | 09:05 |
| evilbug | i'm not an expert on linux seeing as to how i'm new myself... but what i can tell you for sure is that it's been a bug about 18 months ago but i see it's been labeled as "fixed", and that cody can for sure help you out with it. | 09:05 |
| favro | I made the relevant dir/file and I'll log out and check | 09:09 |

| vol | Hi. I'm not running xubuntu, but I did apt-get install of xfce, and I'm running in xfce. I'm trying to edit my menus. Looking online, I'm told to edit /usr/share/applications/cream.desktop, but this file doesn't exist. there are other files in /usr/share/applications. Should I modify one of them instead? | 16:00 |
| vol | I would like to add a few entries to a few menus such as "development" instead of creating a new menu | 16:01 |
| vol | Oh, sorry, I misread the instructions. This was for the app cream. Nevermind. | 16:02 |
| JinKazama | hi all :) | 17:46 |
| marenostrum | Hello. Xubuntu 8.04 here. How can I use Noscript add-on but let Flash content? There's a tab named "plug-ins" and there's a check box to ban Adobe Flash, but even when I uncheck it, noscript doesn't let Flash content. There says (retranslating from Turkish): "These settings are valid for the pages that are new or installed by yourself." I can't get what it means. How can I let Flash with Noscript still active? | 18:05 |
| ghetek | hey guys i need to share out /dev/md0 to 2 different users on the system so that both users can mount this as a share in windows. can i get some help please? | 18:52 |
| {NaTe} | hey there - just switched from Ubuntu to Xubuntu - wondering where I can configure the keyboard shortcuts | 18:59 |
| {NaTe} | any one here? | 19:00 |
| bytor4232 | I'm here | 19:01 |
| danielm | {NaTe}: Checkout the Settings panel, -> Keyboard.. there is a 'shortcuts tab" | 19:01 |
| bytor4232 | You have to be patient in IRC | 19:01 |
| bytor4232 | Go to the settings manager, then click on keyboard. | 19:01 |
| bytor4232 | Under shortcuts, click add | 19:02 |
| {NaTe} | awesome - thx, sorry 'bout the patience | 19:02 |
| bytor4232 | Give the theme a name, then you can begin to bind your own personal keybindings. | 19:02 |
| {NaTe} | will do | 19:03 |
| bytor4232 | Its all good man. | 19:03 |
| bytor4232 | A lot of people blaze into the channel, ask a question, and leave before anyone can help. | 19:03 |
| bytor4232 | Its a common problem. | 19:03 |
| {NaTe} | I'm sure - I just didn't see any activity so I wasn't sure if the chan was empty or not | 19:04 |
| {NaTe} | is the standard terminal xterm? | 19:05 |
| zoredache | try applictions \ settings | 19:05 |
| zoredache | settings manager | 19:05 |
| zoredache | ack... and then keybaord | 19:05 |
| zoredache | define standard? xterm is install. xfce4-terminal is probably installed | 19:06 |
| {NaTe} | just looking for the default from install that appears in "Applications/Accessories" | 19:07 |
| bytor4232 | Its xfce4-terminal | 19:07 |
| {NaTe} | thnx | 19:07 |
| slow-motion | hi | 19:45 |
| the7thmagus | hey. I was wondering if xubuntu has all the same drivers and everything as Ubuntu. because my Netgear MA111 (prism2_usb) works in Ubuntu Hardy but not in Xubuntu Hardy | 19:54 |
| lesshaste | how do I stop the laptop going to sleep when I close the lid? | 19:55 |
| ra | Hello! I have a slow PC I would like to install xubuntu on, I have a Desktop CD but starting X is too resource intensive | 20:02 |
| ra | Can I start xubuntu from the CD without the X UI to see if the networking works? | 20:02 |
| zoredache | you probably want to start with the alternate installer cd | 20:05 |
| ra | can I test if the network works from there? | 20:06 |
| zoredache | ra: most wired devices can be easily tested there... | 20:53 |
| ra | thanks! I wasn't too clear about that "probably" | 20:54 |
| zoredache | what type of network card do you have? You could also try checking on google | 21:03 |
| ra | ah no worries, there's nothing like checking this practically :D | 21:09 |
| ThePhoenix28 | hi | 21:24 |
| zoredache | !hi | ThePhoenix28 | 21:24 |
| ubottu | ThePhoenix28: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! | 21:24 |
| ThePhoenix28 | Can anyone help me/ | 21:24 |
| ThePhoenix28 | ? | 21:24 |
| zoredache | !anyone | ThePhoenix28 | 21:24 |
| ubottu | ThePhoenix28: 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? | 21:24 |
| ThePhoenix28 | I will | 21:24 |
| ThePhoenix28 | I seem to be having a problem with hard drive detection | 21:25 |
| ThePhoenix28 | because when i run xubuntu from the cd and load Gparted it dosent detect my harddrive | 21:25 |
| ThePhoenix28 | and when I try to install xubuntu it freezes at the partion screen; it just keeps loading and loading | 21:26 |
| ThePhoenix28 | anyone have any ideas? | 21:26 |
| zoredache | is it sata? If so, you might try going into your bios and setting your sata controller to legacy mode | 21:26 |
| ThePhoenix28 | no its not | 21:27 |
| zoredache | is the drive visible in the bios? | 21:27 |
| ThePhoenix28 | yes | 21:27 |
| ThePhoenix28 | i think its a ultra dma66 ide | 21:28 |
| ThePhoenix28 | but im not entirerly sure | 21:28 |
| ThePhoenix28 | which is probably the problem cause i have to use the "linux ide=nodma" command to get it to boot | 21:29 |
| zoredache | hrm... | 21:30 |
| zoredache | and you are using the most recent version of ubuntu? 8.04.1 (aka hardy) | 21:30 |
| zr | hi, I installed xubuntu on my p900 but I cant hear any sound | 21:34 |
| zr | alsamixer reports all channels are unmuted and a max | 21:34 |
| zr | no sound at all from speakers or heaphones | 21:34 |

| mlynn5 | where can i find info on how to connect to nfs shares with xubuntu? | 21:38 |
| TheSheep | !nfs | 21:39 |
| ubottu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 21:39 |
| mlynn5 | hmm, yes i've followed that guide and my ubuntu laptop can connect to the shares but my xubuntu second desktop cannot | 21:49 |
| zoredache | and you can ping the nfs server from computer that doesn't work? | 21:50 |
| mlynn5 | yup | 21:51 |
| zoredache | hrm... pastebin your /etc/exports perhaps? | 21:52 |
| mlynn5 | i'm sorry, what do you mean? | 21:52 |
| zoredache | I mean post the contents of your /etc/exports file on the server to pastebin | 21:53 |
| zoredache | !pastebin | mlynn5 | 21:53 |
| ubottu | mlynn5: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 21:53 |
| mlynn5 | cool, thanks. sorry about that, i haven't had to do that before. will do | 21:53 |
| mlynn5 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/38597/ | 21:55 |
| zoredache | your are only allow a single ip address to connect (192.168.1.100) | 21:55 |
| zoredache | you probably should replace the '192.168.1.100/....' with '192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0' | 21:56 |
| zoredache | that block of the config is not a range of addresses it needs to be netwwork/mask | 21:57 |
| zoredache | after updating your config you'll need to re-export on the server | 21:58 |
| mlynn5 | damn! i get it, you were right | 21:58 |
| mlynn5 | works now | 21:58 |
| mlynn5 | thanks for checking that out for me | 21:59 |
| * ra congrats the xubuntu team for the "alternate cd" installer... ..the desktop one was too "heavy" for this PII450/192MB --- but the alternate one works just fine! | 22:10 | |
| bhall_ | Hello. I'm looking to us Xubuntu for a university computer lab and have some questions about how to customize and set defaults for all users. Mind if I ask away? | 23:44 |
| leche | bhall_: edit the skels in /etc/skel | 23:49 |
| bhall_ | The users already exist, so that's not really an option. I'll do that if I remaster the liveCD though | 23:49 |
| leche | if you dont have them, create them ^^ | 23:49 |
| TheSheep | bhall_: most xfce-related defaults are in /etc/xdg | 23:49 |
| TheSheep | bhall_: but config files in their ~/.config override that | 23:50 |
| bhall_ | Ah, I see. Good tip. Thanks. | 23:50 |
| bhall_ | Is that were I could setup default theme, background etc? | 23:50 |
| bhall_ | (I've been using a version of Xfce 4.0.6 that I modified years ago. Things have changed a lot since then.) | 23:51 |
| TheSheep | bhall_: yes | 23:52 |
| bhall_ | Cool. /etc/xdg looks to have most of what I'm looking for. Thanks. | 23:54 |
| bhall_ | So, if I understand this, I can just remove /etc/xdg/autostart/bluetooth-applet.desktop or update-notifier.desktop and it just won't load those, right? | 23:56 |
| bhall_ | Ok, it looks like everything I need is in /etc/xdg. It's even very logically laid out. (Thanks xubuntu/xfce devs!) | 23:57 |
| TheSheep | bhall_: yes, or you could edit them and disable them by adding a line to them | 23:57 |
| TheSheep | bhall_: so that they still display in autostarted applications, but the checkbox is unchecked | 23:58 |
| bhall_ | Oh, so /etc/xdg/autostart is for all of Ubuntu, not just xfce? | 23:58 |
| bhall_ | (bluetooth-applet.desktop for instance has the entry ShowOnlyIn=GNOME | 23:59 |
| bhall_ | ) | 23:59 |
| TheSheep | bhall_: yes, it's from the freedesktop.org specification, ideally it should be respected by all desktop environment | 23:59 |
| TheSheep | s | 23:59 |
