| Roland- | hey, question: how do I set nr of workspaces? I have only 2 and I need 4 or 6 for the cube | 02:55 |
| Odd-rationale | Roland-: workspaces for xfce? or for compiz? | 02:56 |
| Odd-rationale | they are set up in different places... | 02:56 |
| Odd-rationale | for xfce, go to Applications --> settings --> workspace settings | 02:56 |
| Roland- | cannot see workspace settings | 02:57 |
| Genelyk | aplications-configuration-administ configuration | 02:57 |
| Genelyk | top left | 02:57 |
| Roland- | is something I have to install? | 02:57 |
| Odd-rationale | for compiz, first be sure you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed, then go to Applications --> settings --> compixconfig settings manager --> Generall Options --> Desktop size. then chage the horizontal to 4, vertial to 1, and no of desktops to 1. | 02:58 |
| Roland- | perfect thank you | 02:58 |
| Roland- | still how do I use the whole cube? | 02:59 |
| Roland- | the down and up face is empty | 02:59 |
| Odd-rationale | Roland-: you cant... | 02:59 |
| Roland- | and I saw some screenshots with a desk there too | 02:59 |
| Odd-rationale | Roland-: you can put some cube caps though... | 02:59 |
| Odd-rationale | but you can't actually use them as a desktop... | 03:00 |
| Roland- | that is nice I just want to replace that orange bg | 03:00 |
| Roland- | http://www.23hq.com/Vincentt/photo/2573228/standard can somebody please what module provides that mac_look_like down menu ? | 03:01 |

| kriel | If I manually set up my wireless connection using iwconfig and dhclient; the [network manager thingy in the top right] dosen't recognize that I'm connected, and therefore blocks all of my internet-using programs [like pidgin and firefox] because it dosen't have a connection. | 05:14 |
| kriel | So, is there a way to either make it recognize that I did it manually; or to just turn it off and let my programs through? | 05:14 |
| gaurdro | can you ping out when you do it manually? | 05:14 |
| kriel | pinging works. But the network manager mabob still says i'm d/c | 05:15 |

| loswillios | hi guys | 09:29 |
| loswillios | I recently upgraded my fathers PC from 7.10 to 8.04 (which went really smooth btw) | 09:29 |
| loswillios | but now it asks for a password when I want to shutdown the system (from the log-out dialog) | 09:30 |
| loswillios | I am in a lot of groups already (including powerdev) but it didn't help | 09:31 |
| favro | loswillios: a workaround is to logout and select shutdown from the options menu | 09:37 |
| favro | I've seen a couple of people mention having that issue but it isn't common afaik | 09:38 |
| favro | another workaround would be to add the user to the sudoers file for shutdown | 09:39 |
| favro | then the shutdown button should work like normal | 09:39 |
| loswillios | ok | 09:44 |
| phlack | hi, im wondering can anyone help me, im trying to change the login message when i log in with ssh | 09:44 |
| phlack | can anyone tell me where that message is located? | 09:44 |
| loswillios | favro: shutdown, halt and reboot are already added with NOPASSWD | 09:45 |
| favro | ohh | 09:45 |
| loswillios | favro: I can't logout though, cause I don't have a DM started. the system is booting straight into X | 09:46 |
| loswillios | phlack: /etc/motd | 09:47 |
| favro | loswillios: is a paasword asked for with sudo shutdown -h now? | 09:47 |
| phlack | thanks loswillios | 09:47 |
| favro | if not make a launcher for it | 09:47 |
| loswillios | hm, yeah. I wonder why | 09:47 |
| loswillios | let me recheck sudoers | 09:48 |
| favro | I don't know where the issue stems from so am thinking about workarounds | 09:48 |
| loswillios | weird. sudoers is exactly the same on my other systems where it works (no ubuntu though) | 09:50 |
| loswillios | christian ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown, /sbin/halt, /sbin/reboot | 09:50 |
| favro | what's the line in /etc/sudoers for shutdown? | 09:50 |
| favro | k | 09:50 |
| loswillios | how to make a launcher? | 09:51 |
| loswillios | ah got it | 09:52 |
| favro | right click the panel select add and from the menu launcher | 09:52 |
| loswillios | misunderstood you. yeah, doesn't help because sudo fscks up somehow | 09:52 |
| favro | but if it asks for a password a launcher won't work | 09:53 |
| loswillios | weird stuff | 09:54 |
| favro | yes | 09:54 |
| favro | loswillios: what does ls -l /etc/sudoers return? | 09:59 |
| loswillios | favro: -r--r----- 1 root root 468 2008-09-21 10:53 /etc/sudoers | 10:11 |
| favro | loswillios: well that is how it should be | 10:12 |

| vidd | vonderer, off or gone? | 14:22 |
| vonderer | vidd: sorry, I don't quite get the question ^^ | 14:23 |
| vidd | vonderer, do you want the screensaver uninstalled or disabled? | 14:24 |
| vonderer | disabled | 14:24 |
| vonderer | vidd: | 14:29 |
| vidd | this a laptop or desktop? | 14:30 |
| vonderer | desktop | 14:30 |
| vidd | do you have power management set to never put the computer or display to sleep? | 14:31 |
| vonderer | I've already killed xscreensaver, but is there a way to prevent it from being loaded? | 14:31 |
| vonderer | vidd: yes, i have | 14:32 |
| nubuntu | i have a problem thats driving me crazy, whenever i follow links to news stories on my panama newspaper it slows my computer down to nothing.. would it be possible for someeone to understandd why by looking at a page3? herees one: http://prensa.com/t.asp?d=080921h1527734 | 14:32 |
| vidd | vonderer, to prevent it from loading? uninstall it | 14:32 |
| vidd | but anyway.... | 14:32 |
| vidd | do you have the checkboxes "Activate screensaver..." unchecked? | 14:33 |
| vonderer | of course | 14:33 |
| vonderer | I've done that first, but it seemed to have no effect | 14:33 |
| vidd | and where is the idle slider @? | 14:33 |
| vonderer | 2 hours | 14:34 |
| vidd | how long does it take for your screensaver to pop up? | 14:34 |
| vonderer | much less, than 2 hours, maybe 10~20 minutes | 14:34 |
| vidd | then you have a second screen saver app installed | 14:35 |
| vonderer | maybe problem in GNOME services? I've installed xubuntu-desktop over my ubuntu | 14:35 |
| vidd | most like | 14:35 |
| vidd | ubuntu uses gnome screensave IIRC | 14:36 |
| vonderer | strange. when I open gnome-screensaver-preferences, I get my xfce4 screensaver setup dialogue | 14:36 |
| vonderer | where screensaver is disabled and time is set to 2 hours | 14:37 |
| vidd | and what happens when you open xsceensaver? | 14:37 |
| vonderer | ahh, here it is | 14:37 |
| vidd | 2 screen saver apps? | 14:38 |
| vonderer | I tried it before, but it said I'd already had it running | 14:38 |
| vonderer | xscreensaver has other settings, and it is enabled | 14:38 |
| vonderer | thanks ^^ | 14:38 |
| vidd | no problem | 14:38 |
| vonderer | There is another problem. Not long ago, I've bought a new mouse, and set it up with evdev. The problem is that when X server starts and the mouse is still, mouse becomes turned off soon after startup. But if I move it around during loading, everything's ok. | 14:42 |
| vonderer | Is there any way to fix it? | 14:44 |
| vidd | sure....load the mouse settings after X | 14:45 |
| vonderer | how can I do that? | 14:46 |
| vidd | not sure what evdev is, or why you need it....but X is overwritting it | 14:46 |
| vonderer | hmm. my mouse has 5 buttons | 14:46 |
| vidd | why on earth would someone need 5 mouse buttons? | 14:46 |
| vonderer | I needed evdev to make 4th and 5th work :) | 14:46 |
| vidd | remove the evdev, reboot, and set evdev to load in your autostarted applications | 14:47 |
| vidd | this way, evdev settings are loaded after x settings | 14:48 |
| vonderer | evdev is a driver | 14:48 |
| vonderer | Section "InputDevice" | 14:48 |
| vonderer | Identifier "Configured Mouse" | 14:48 |
| vonderer | Driver "evdev" | 14:48 |
| vonderer | Option "CorePointer" | 14:48 |
| vonderer | Option "Device" "/dev/input/event9" | 14:48 |
| vonderer | EndSection | 14:48 |
| vonderer | that's from my xorg.conf | 14:48 |
| vidd | pastebin your entire xorg.conf for me? | 14:49 |
| vinnl | !paste | 14:49 |

| vonderer | http://paste.ubuntu.com/48907/ | 14:53 |
| vidd | so vonderer where is the link? | 14:53 |
| vidd | disregard | 14:53 |
| vidd | try uncomenting line 62 | 14:54 |
| vidd | and do you have more then one maouse installed? | 14:55 |
| vonderer | no, I don't | 14:55 |
| vonderer | tried line 62, It didn't work out, so I commented it again | 14:56 |
| vidd | then im out of ideas | 14:56 |
| vonderer | thanks anyway :) | 14:57 |
| vidd | unless, perhaps you uncomment lines 47-55 | 14:57 |
| vonderer | you mean, use usual mouse driver instead of evdev? | 14:57 |
| vidd | no...use both | 14:57 |
| vonderer | interesting :) I'll try that later, thanks | 14:58 |
| vidd | this way you at least have 3-button if all else fails | 14:58 |

| jo1 | ppc | 20:54 |
| Odd-rationale | !ppc | 20:54 |
| ubottu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 20:54 |
| vidd | jol you have the wrong instalation disk | 20:54 |
| jo1 | the live disk runs fine | 20:55 |
| vidd | yes...and it will | 20:55 |
| Odd-rationale | jo1: that is because it loads into ram... :D | 20:55 |
| jo1 | what install should I be using? | 20:55 |
| vidd | the install, however needs to be PPC arch | 20:55 |
| vidd | see the wiki link Odd-rationale posted | 20:55 |
| jo1 | I searched and thought that I d/l the ppc | 20:56 |
| Odd-rationale | jo1: see the link above... | 20:56 |
| vidd | well...the bot =] | 20:56 |
| jo1 | i've read all the *buntu stuff on ppc and it doesn't support newer releases, but others say that it works fine | 20:56 |
| vinnl | It supports it unofficially | 20:57 |
| vidd | jo1, think of it this way.... | 20:57 |
| vidd | you have a leadded gas machine... | 20:57 |
| vidd | you are trying to use unleaded gas | 20:57 |
| jo1 | i've even tried to install ubuntu 6.06 the last supported release and the screen goes black | 20:57 |
| vidd | get the ppc version of 6.6 | 20:58 |
| jo1 | did that | 20:58 |
| jo1 | also did kubuntu | 20:58 |
| vidd | do the alt install of it | 20:58 |
| vidd | not the live install | 20:58 |
| jo1 | i don't know enough linux to use alt install no gui | 20:58 |
| jika-bun | i'm having big problems installing a flash player to xubuntu | 20:59 |
| jo1 | like i said noob | 20:59 |
| vidd | pfft....the alt install is more intuitive IMHO | 20:59 |
| Odd-rationale | jo1: it is really not that different... if you have another machine to chat, we can help you if you have any questions... | 20:59 |
| Odd-rationale | jika-bun: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree doesn't work? | 20:59 |
| vidd | stick in disk, enter 5 times, pick username, password, enter 3 more times, reboot, enjoy | 21:00 |
| Odd-rationale | vidd: wow, you memeorized that part pretty good... :D | 21:00 |
| vinnl | vidd's been through it a lot I suppose ;-) | 21:00 |
| vidd | ive done it enough times | 21:00 |
| vidd | just dont do the auto-detect keyboard....choose manually | 21:01 |
| jika-bun | Odd-rationale, it shows some problems, i'll do pastebin, wait up | 21:01 |
| vinnl | Not with the MD5 sum I hope... | 21:01 |
| vinnl | !flash | 21:01 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 21:01 |
| jika-bun | Odd-rationale: http://paste.ubuntu.com/49054/ | 21:04 |
| vinnl | jika-bun, are you retrieving it from an external software source? | 21:06 |
| vinnl | It says Flash Player 10 (10.0.12.10ubuntu1~ppa3) | 21:06 |
| jika-bun | well, not really, i did apt-get | 21:07 |
| Odd-rationale | jika-bun: have you done "sudo apt-get update" lately? | 21:07 |
| jika-bun | maybe because mine is x64? | 21:07 |
| vinnl | But apparently one of your repositories offers it | 21:07 |
| Odd-rationale | jika-bun: is this 64 bit? | 21:07 |
| vinnl | Ah | 21:07 |
| jika-bun | yes | 21:07 |
| Odd-rationale | jika-bun: i think the link above given by ubottu tells how to do flash on 64 bit... | 21:08 |
| Odd-rationale | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash | 21:08 |
| jika-bun | hmmm ok i'll read it ;) | 21:09 |
| jika-bun | thank! | 21:09 |
| DasYogi | howdy | 21:18 |
| Odd-rationale | !hi | DasYogi | 21:18 |
| ubottu | DasYogi: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! | 21:18 |
| DasYogi | thanks guys...hae a quick question about dual booting xubuntu and debian.... | 21:18 |
| DasYogi | is this the right plae? | 21:18 |
| DasYogi | meant place | 21:18 |
| vinnl | Sure | 21:18 |
| DasYogi | sweet...I already have xubuntu installed and have about 20 gb free space...was thinking to install debian there...should I create a partition space before installation or have debian guid me through it...also, do I have to modify grub? | 21:19 |
| Odd-rationale | DasYogi: either way would work. and yes, you will have to modify grub... | 21:20 |
| vinnl | Ah, if you're going to install Debian afterwards you might be better off in #debian, but I'm quite sure Debian will be able to choose an existing partition | 21:20 |
| vinnl | (Though 20 GB isn't that much) | 21:20 |
| jika-bun | well that worked | 21:21 |
| jika-bun | thank you vinnl and Odd-rationale | 21:22 |
| jika-bun | :) | 21:22 |
| Odd-rationale | np | 21:22 |
| DasYogi | thanks vinni...heading to #debian | 21:22 |
| tatofoo | is it just me or fonts <= size 10 in xfce terminal doesn't have aliasing/hinting? | 21:27 |
| vonderer | hello, does anyone use wallpaper clock screenlet? | 21:30 |
| vinnl | !ask | 21:30 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 21:30 |
| vonderer | ok, if anyone uses wallpaper clock screenlet, please, tell me how to make it work ^^ | 21:31 |
| vinnl | Can't you just run it? :) | 21:31 |
| vonderer | if it was so easy — I wouldn't ask :)) It starts, but doesn't apply any desktop wallpaper | 21:32 |
| vinnl | vonderer, I don't suppose it is made for xfdesktop | 21:33 |
| vonderer | http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=66717 | 21:34 |
| vonderer | Changelog: | 21:34 |
| vonderer | v2.3 xfce workarround | 21:34 |
| vinnl | OK, wait, I'm going to try it :) | 21:34 |
| vinnl | ...if I can figure out how to install screenlets | 21:34 |
| vinnl | !screenlets | 21:35 |
| ubottu | Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, !Beryl, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ | 21:35 |
| vinnl | Hmm, that needs updating | 21:35 |
| vonderer | just as any other app: with aptitude or synaptic | 21:35 |
| vonderer | and they actually run without Compiz | 21:36 |
| vinnl | Yeah xfwm4 has compositing | 21:36 |
| vinnl | vonderer, OK, what's it supposed to do? | 21:39 |
| vinnl | I do see a clock now | 21:39 |
| vonderer | it is supposed to put on your desctop a wallpaper with clock | 21:39 |
| vinnl | OK, I just have the clock that's hovering over my windows | 21:39 |
| vinnl | There's a checkbox for "Xfce workaround" in the settings | 21:39 |
| vonderer | http://www.vladstudio.com/ru/wallpaperclock/details.php?175http://www.vladstudio.com/ru/wallpaperclock/details.php?175 | 21:40 |
| vonderer | like that | 21:40 |
| vonderer | well, «Xfce workaround» doesn't work for me | 21:40 |
| vinnl | vonderer, I just have the clock and I set it to attach to my desktop now | 21:41 |
| vinnl | How do you install wallpapers? | 21:41 |
| vonderer | right-click on the icon (small clock) and chose install wallpaper | 21:41 |
| vonderer | after that — change wallpaper clock->My wallpapers->wallpaper name | 21:42 |
| vinnl | OK, it appears to be loading... | 21:43 |
| vinnl | No entry in the menu yet | 21:44 |
| vinnl | vonderer, you don't have to use multiple wallpapers as Xfce wallpaper? | 21:51 |
| vinnl | vonderer, I give up... It's a very cool idea though | 21:54 |
| vonderer | vinnl: no, i think. thanks for trying to help :) | 21:55 |
| vinnl | np :) | 21:55 |
| vonderer | I'll try to restart xfce, maybe it'll help | 21:56 |
| vonderer | bye :) | 21:56 |
| vinnl | Bye | 21:56 |
| vinnl | I'm off too, bye | 21:56 |
| Genelyk | tomorrow day testing :D | 22:13 |
| coldhak | ok, so i installed compiz, everything works fine as far as that goes, but i want to uninstall it. i tried uninstalling it about an hour ago, and then xfce doesn't work | 22:15 |
| coldhak | ideas? | 22:16 |
| coldhak | i'll log in, see the xfce bars like usual, but then they disappear, and i'm stuck with one desktop and only the windows i had up previously | 22:16 |
| vidd | coldhak, reinstall it, then uninstall it with the --purge switch | 22:18 |
| coldhak | you mean compiz or xfce? | 22:19 |
| vidd | compiz | 22:19 |
| coldhak | ...won't that just reinstall compiz and rm compiz's settings? | 22:20 |
| vidd | yes | 22:20 |
| coldhak | i've got compiz working fine. | 22:21 |
| vidd | did you remove combiz settings when you uninstalled it? | 22:21 |
| coldhak | it works as it should | 22:21 |
| coldhak | i want to get rid of it, but i want xfce to work | 22:21 |
| vidd | "i want to uninstall it....xfce doesn't work" | 22:22 |
| vidd | so you want to --purge | 22:22 |
| vidd | when you uninstall | 22:22 |
| coldhak | ok | 22:22 |
| vidd | otherwise, you have ave left-over config files that are (probably) causing your issue | 22:23 |
| vidd | [this lag is killing me!!!!] | 22:23 |
| coldhak | ok, i'll give that a shot | 22:23 |
| coldhak | i'll be back via another computer if it doesn't work | 22:23 |
| vidd | i probably wont be here | 22:25 |
| coldhak | that's ok. i'll be back just the same | 22:25 |
| vidd | welcome back | 22:27 |
| Pete_I | yeah, didn't work | 22:28 |
| Genelyk | _o\ \o\ lol /o/ /o_ hip hip !! | 22:28 |
| vidd | what didnt work? | 22:29 |
| Pete_I | the panel's there, but there's no window borders, i can't move windows. the panel's always on bottom | 22:29 |
| === Pete_I is now known as Coldhak | ||
| vidd | ok.... | 22:29 |
| vidd | so you need to reset xfce as the window manager | 22:29 |
| Coldhak | ok, how do i do that? | 22:30 |
| Coldhak | the xconfig? | 22:30 |
| vidd | can you bring up the menu? | 22:30 |
| Coldhak | yeah | 22:30 |
| Coldhak | menu works. i can access a shell and all that, but if i a program comes up maximized(firefox/xchat) i can't minimize/resize it | 22:31 |
| vidd | applications->settings->login window | 22:31 |
| vidd | what is "Default Session" set to? | 22:32 |
| Coldhak | xfce | 22:33 |
| vidd | hrm | 22:34 |
| Coldhak | when i go to "window manager" in the settings manager, it says "these settings cannot work with your current window manager (unknown)" :/ | 22:35 |
| vidd | type xfdesktop in a terminal....does this fix it? | 22:35 |
| Coldhak | no. | 22:36 |
| Coldhak | :'( i really don't wanna reload this system. i just loaded it yesterday | 22:37 |
| vidd | the fix isnt all that difficult.... | 22:37 |
| Coldhak | well, what is it? | 22:37 |
| vidd | the setting is somewhere in GDM.... | 22:37 |
| vidd | go to the logon screen, and see what sessions are available | 22:38 |
| Coldhak | the norm. xfce, xclient script, gnome, secure remote, failsafe gnome, failsafe terminal | 22:39 |
| vidd | select xfce | 22:39 |
| vidd | any luck? | 22:40 |
| Coldhak | not sure what you're thinkin', but that's not it | 22:40 |
| Coldhak | :( | 22:40 |
| vidd | ok.... | 22:40 |
| vidd | back to settings manager... | 22:40 |
| vidd | sessions and startups | 22:40 |
| Coldhak | nothing strange here either. says it starts gnome services on login | 22:42 |
| vidd | is "display chhoser on login checked? | 22:43 |
| Coldhak | it wasn't, but it is now | 22:43 |
| Coldhak | where's xfce store it's data? | 22:43 |
| Coldhak | i may have a backup | 22:43 |
| vidd | so far as I know, in your /home directory | 22:44 |
| Coldhak | yeah, :) what's the folder called i mean | 22:44 |
| vidd | .config | 22:45 |
| vidd | time for my good friend google.... | 22:45 |
| Coldhak | <3 backups | 22:47 |
| Coldhak | thanks for the help | 22:47 |
| vidd | Coldhak, xfwm4 --replace | 22:51 |
| vidd | hopefully that fixes you up.... | 22:52 |
| vidd | i have to go home now...be back if i can in a bit | 22:52 |
| Coldhak | hmm. had i not already fixed it, that might have | 22:54 |
