| Rakeer | last thing I posted was: <Rakeer> Aha, and in your network manager, do you actually see "wireless connection" | 00:03 |
| benjie | ye | 00:07 |
| Rakeer | did you put a tick into the box, and are you able to connect? | 00:07 |
| benjie | yeH I ticked | 00:08 |
| benjie | i dont understand the procedure after ticking | 00:09 |
| Rakeer | what does it say | 00:11 |
| Rakeer | well, select wireless connection so its highlighted, then click properties...in the box that comes up make sure "Enable this connection" is ticked, and where it says 'Network Name" theres a dropdown box, see if anything is listed there. | 00:13 |

| benjie | I went on to network settings and found only Modem and Wired connection. Is there anyway of getting a wireless connection? | 01:36 |
| Rakeer | yeah, that's what I was saying before.. | 01:39 |
| Rakeer | wifi doesn't work natively...there's a lot of work to do to set it up | 01:39 |

| Unbe | Heyo. I've just installed xubuntu for the first time (though I am a long-time linux user), and I'm trying to figure out VNC. | 03:06 |
| Odd-rationale | !vnc | 03:06 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 03:06 |
| Unbe | Cool--I'll check it out. Thanks. | 03:07 |
| the_rainbow | Anyone knows how to set a default wallpaper in XFCE? | 03:11 |
| Odd-rationale | the_rainbow: Applications --> settings --> Desktop Settings and check the Show Image box. and browse to your image... | 03:12 |
| the_rainbow | I want to do it from my command line for scripting purpose | 03:14 |
| Odd-rationale | oh. i'm not sure then.. i know feh can do it... but usually you use feh with just a wm like openbox or fluxbox... | 03:14 |
| the_rainbow | Ah ok thanks man, I'll let you know if I fugire it out | 03:16 |
| Odd-rationale | np | 03:16 |
| ddddd | the_rainbow: /home/yourusername/.config/xfce4/mcs_settings/desktop.xml | 03:18 |
| the_rainbow | oww yeah it works like a charm thanks man !! | 03:20 |
| the_rainbow | but how can I set it for all users | 03:21 |
| the_rainbow | Any hints ddddd? | 03:26 |
| ddddd | the_rainbow: for existing users you have to change all the desktop.xml files in all home directories - for creating new users you can change /etc/xdg/xfce4/mcs_settings/desktop.xml | 03:26 |
| ddddd | the_rainbow: $ locate mcs_settings/desktop.xml for locating them | 03:29 |
| the_rainbow | I located them, but they are only in the homes directories | 03:32 |
| Unbe | BTW--Thanks, Odd-rationale. I found everything I needed. | 03:32 |
| the_rainbow | There's no /etc/xdg/xfce4/mcs_settings/desktop.xml unfortunately | 03:32 |
| ddddd | the_rainbow: that is strange | 03:34 |
| the_rainbow | oh really? Then I'll try to copy the desktop.xml from my home dir to the /etc/xdg/xfce4/... and see what I get | 03:36 |
| ddddd | the_rainbow: nothing it is for a new default user ... | 03:37 |
| ddddd | the_rainbow: if you create a new user the directory is read for standard settings | 03:38 |
| the_rainbow | but the problem is there are some users who don't even have the desktop.xml file | 03:39 |
| the_rainbow | these users don't have a background image set | 03:39 |
| the_rainbow | Ah, I just figured it out, I copied the desktop.xml file from my home dir to /etc/xdg/xfce4/mcs_settings/ | 03:40 |
| the_rainbow | the mcs_settings didn't even exist by the way | 03:41 |
| the_rainbow | and now I logged in with an account that has no wallpaper | 03:41 |
| the_rainbow | and it set my default wallpaper that I copied | 03:41 |
| ddddd | the_rainbow: huraaaah ! | 03:42 |
| ddddd | the_rainbow: may i go to bed now ? :) | 03:43 |
| the_rainbow | Yes man, and thanks a million you are a very good man | 03:43 |

| dantekgeek | hey there | 06:06 |
| dantekgeek | Anyone know where I can find a list of minimum system requirements for the last couple of releases? I'm not having any luck with google or the wiki. | 06:07 |
| dantekgeek | I see requirements for 8.10, but nothing before that | 06:07 |
| ere4si | generally you need 192mb mem for the live cd - it uses about 80mb after login so I think about 256mb should be ok | 06:08 |
| ere4si | that's what I use in virtualbox and it works fine | 06:09 |
| dantekgeek | yeah :( | 06:09 |
| dantekgeek | I'm trying to see how far back I need to go | 06:09 |
| dantekgeek | I'm refurbing an old celeron 700 with only 128 | 06:09 |
| ere4si | how much do you have to work with? | 06:09 |
| ere4si | I use a minimal dapper install and fluxbox - it takes 40mb after login - 90mb with firefox open | 06:10 |
| dantekgeek | I'm going with xubuntu because the machine needs to be "user friendly" | 06:11 |
| dantekgeek | (ie, not for me) | 06:11 |
| ere4si | with 128mb xubuntu will work ok - just some major apps will be slower | 06:12 |
| dantekgeek | yeah | 06:12 |
| ere4si | make your swap file 256mb and it'll be ok | 06:12 |
| dantekgeek | ere4si: is that 128 for 8 or 7? | 06:12 |
| ere4si | dantekgeek: I haven't heard anything about it being diff - just have my experience :) | 06:13 |

| marybuntu | i can't find in the docs how to add the option to fully 'delete' files rather than 'move to trash' on the desktop. could someone point me to the right direction or remind me how to do this plz. | 11:18 |
| ddddd | marybuntu: use shift + delete | 11:33 |
| marybuntu | ddddd: doesn't work | 11:33 |
| marybuntu | there was a customise i put on a friends machine that added 'delete' right under 'move to trash' upon right click, but i cant remember how i did it or where i found it.... arrrrrrgggghhhhh | 11:35 |
| ddddd | marybuntu: ok i thought just shift+delete for direct remove not as a menu option sorry | 11:37 |
| marybuntu | well, finally deleted the file. i had ubuntu 8.04 sitting on my desktop and couldn't delete it no matter what. finally opened thunar and that did it. i do wish i could find the way to add delete to the right click menu on the desktop. | 11:56 |

| wesley_ | LetsGo67: I know how to change between themes but not how to install, I can try help by looking around though | 12:28 |
| LetsGo67 | Same here... I searched on Google. | 12:29 |

| Odd-rationale | kwhk: any error message? | 16:02 |
| kwhk | Odd-rationale: yes, it says an application is preventing the volume from unmounted | 16:03 |
| Odd-rationale | kwhk: well. you can make sure no application is using the drive.... and make sure in the terminal, you are not in the directory... | 16:06 |
| Odd-rationale | kwhk: but it probably wont hurt to just press the eject button on the drive itself... | 16:07 |
| kwhk | Odd-rationale: neither the button helps. | 16:08 |
| Odd-rationale | kwhk: a paper clip will do as well... :D | 16:08 |

| ron_o | TheSheep, I was thinking that but I've already had these problems on two machines. | 18:04 |
| ron_o | both xubuntu but different versions. | 18:04 |
| TheSheep | ron_o: well, what is unusual about them compared to, lets say, mine? | 18:04 |
| ron_o | it's just an odd set of circumstances is all. Odd though, that it's three of them? | 18:04 |
| ron_o | the keyboards? unusual about them? | 18:05 |
| TheSheep | ron_o: no the computers/xubuntus | 18:05 |
| ron_o | I don't know. | 18:05 |
| TheSheep | ron_o: also, maybe if you actually described your problem, it would be much easier to help | 18:06 |
| ron_o | oh, I couldn't describe it earlier. My keyboard would type out "i"s infinitely until I had to reboot. | 18:06 |
| TheSheep | ron_o: always? immediately after booting? | 18:07 |
| TheSheep | ron_o: how did you manage to install then? | 18:07 |
| ron_o | each keyboard does some goofy stuff. Two won't type out different letters. And the third, which came with an apple computer, would all of a sudden start typing out 'i's. | 18:07 |
| ron_o | not immediatly, no. | 18:07 |
| ron_o | TheSheep, sorry, it's an old installation. | 18:07 |
| ron_o | and it didn't start from the beginning. | 18:07 |
| TheSheep | ron_o: when did this start? | 18:07 |
| ron_o | sorry, it's most likely not a xubuntu problem. | 18:07 |
| TheSheep | ron_o: you are not providing much information | 18:07 |
| ron_o | it started on my last system. | 18:07 |
| ron_o | TheSheep, right now I think it's fixed. :) | 18:08 |
| TheSheep | great | 18:08 |
| ron_o | let's see what happens with this new keyboard. OK? | 18:08 |
| ron_o | if it ain't broken, let's not fix it. | 18:08 |
| ron_o | thanks though. | 18:08 |
| ron_o | if this keyboard acts up then I'll know something is a software problem. | 18:09 |
