| R1cochet | how do i back up a dvd to x264? | 02:42 |
| CarlFK | how much disk does xu need? | 03:11 |
| CarlFK | I have a 3g drive - hoping it will fit | 03:12 |
| R1cochet | i dont think so, but i installed from live cd | 03:13 |
| R1cochet | besides it needs a swap partition i believe | 03:13 |
| CarlFK | good point | 03:14 |
| R1cochet | again im not sure | 03:15 |
| gaurdro | it shouldn't NEED a swap partition only it will be terribly unstable when it runs out of memory. i'm not sure how much room it requires (google is your friend) but perhaps puppy linux or damn small linux might be better suited | 03:17 |
| CarlFK | all I really need is x and build-essential - i can install just u-standard and then apt-get the other stuff | 03:18 |

| owen1 | xsane does not recognize my canon scanner (usb, new model) any idea? btw, i installed libsane-extras | 03:58 |
| CarlFK | owen1: did you run xsane from the command prompt? | 03:58 |
| CarlFK | somewhere I will see "can't find firmware file" - my hack is to plug the scanner into a xp box which uploads the firmware | 03:59 |
| owen1 | CarlFK: no. let me try | 04:00 |
| owen1 | CarlFK: i just run xsane and got 'no device detected' | 04:01 |
| CarlFK | carl@dell29:~$ scanimage -L | 04:02 |
| CarlFK | device `snapscan:libusb:002:004' is a Acer FlatbedScanner23 flatbed scanner | 04:02 |
| CarlFK | try that | 04:03 |

| owen1 | CarlFK: No scanners were identified. | 04:04 |
| CarlFK | see the device in lsusb? | 04:04 |
| owen1 | CarlFK: not sure what lsusb is. it's only one usb, no need for power. | 04:05 |
| owen1 | CarlFK: canon canoscan lide 200 | 04:05 |
| owen1 | CarlFK: any clue? | 04:14 |
| CarlFK | nope | 04:14 |
| owen1 | CarlFK: it's a new model. i hope i'll find a way to use it.. thanks | 04:16 |
| owen1 | CarlFK: lsusb returns: Bus 005 Device 011: ID 04a9:1905 Canon, Inc. | 04:17 |
| CarlFK | good. sometimes I plug things in and they arn't seen there, so I unplug /plug and they show up | 04:17 |
| owen1 | CarlFK: but scanimage -L can't find any scanners | 04:18 |
| CarlFK | man scanimage "The list is not complete since some devices may be available, but are not listed in any of the configuration files (which are typically stored in directory /etc/sane.d) | 04:20 |
| owen1 | CarlFK: i am not sure i understand what u just said, i tried reading the man page but couldn't see anything important. | 04:25 |
| CarlFK | owen1: total longshot here... | 04:29 |
| CarlFK | echo "usb 0x04a9 0x1905">/etc/sane.d/canonlide200.conf | 04:31 |
| CarlFK | Ill let you figure out how to do the permissions | 04:31 |
| owen1 | btw, i just run sane-find-scanner and it found it. what does it mean? | 04:32 |
| owen1 | CarlFK: bash: /etc/sane.d/canonlide200.conf: Permission denied | 04:33 |
| CarlFK | Ill let you figure out how to do the permissions | 04:34 |
| owen1 | chmod 777 on this file? | 04:34 |
| CarlFK | if sane-find-scanner found it, then I guess there is something that knows it is a scanner, so not sure you need it | 04:35 |
| CarlFK | i would do sudo vim /etc/sane.d/canonlide200.conf | 04:35 |

| CarlFK | create it | 04:37 |
| owen1 | CarlFK: maybe it's for ubuntu media edition? | 04:37 |
| CarlFK | echo foo>bar.txt creates bar.txt | 04:37 |
| CarlFK | yeah - what is the name of the channel? | 04:38 |
| owen1 | CarlFK: don't know, i can look for it. 1 sec | 04:39 |
| CarlFK | wait... -studio is what I was thinking | 04:41 |
| owen1 | ohhh, ok | 04:42 |
| owen1 | CarlFK: ok, i created a new file - canonlide200.conf | 04:43 |
| R1cochet | is there a program like image grabber for linux? | 04:43 |

| owen1 | CarlFK: what should i do now (after i have this nes file)? | 04:45 |
| owen1 | CarlFK: nes=mew | 04:45 |
| CarlFK | R1cochet: i think cinelerra - I have done it about 6 months ago, forget exactly how | 04:47 |
| CarlFK | owen1: scanimage -L | 04:47 |
| owen1 | CarlFK: the same message - no scanners identified. do u need to give permissions to the new file? | 04:48 |
| CarlFK | it should match the usb device with what is in that file. no clue how that makes it work, jsut folloing what I saw in man scanimage | 04:48 |
| R1cochet | im not finding this in synaptic | 04:48 |
| R1cochet | could it be a diff name? | 04:48 |
| CarlFK | R1cochet: use this repo: deb http://cp600:3142/akirad.cinelerra.org/ akirad-hardy main | 04:49 |
| CarlFK | whoops... | 04:49 |
| CarlFK | that's my local one.. | 04:49 |

| owen1 | CarlFK: any idea what can i do now? | 04:57 |
| CarlFK | owen1: no clue - sorry | 04:59 |
| CarlFK | owen1: I wouldn't give up hope - google sane-find-scanner and see what you should do next | 04:59 |
| owen1 | CarlFK: np. thanks for all the help. | 05:00 |

| nikola | hi, how do i turn on keyboard layout switching in xubuntu, using GUI? | 08:33 |
| nikola | R1cochet, try if that package is already available on packages.ubuntu.com | 08:33 |
| R1cochet | will do | 08:35 |
| R1cochet | ok its there now what? | 08:37 |
| nikola | you can also use synaptic package manager and with search option find and install software in repositories | 08:46 |
| nikola | alternatively you could download *.deb for your platform/distribution version and install it with dubleclick on *.deb | 08:46 |
| nikola | If package/program you want is newer version and is present in repository of newer xubuntu release then you use, you can try to compile package yourself | 08:51 |
| nikola | If you are compiling package yurself use commands sudo apt-get build-dep _package_ | 08:51 |
| R1cochet | how do i log in as root? | 08:52 |
| nikola | and install documentation for build with sudo apt-get install debian-reference | 08:53 |
| R1cochet | ok when i open synaptic and it asks for pass, thats the same as root pass right? | 08:54 |
| R1cochet | cuz im trying to log into root in terminal and it wont let me | 08:54 |

| vinnl | It's in Applications->Accessories->Appfinder | 16:37 |
| vinnl | (And it's set to be improved a lot in Xfce 4.6 :) | 16:37 |

| bytor4232 | cody-somerville: It wasn't a fluke with one ap either. I had to enter it for both the wireless access points I connect to. | 16:42 |
| vinnl | I thought they'd solved that with this version of NM? | 16:42 |
| bytor4232 | I upgraded the laptop on Saturday so no. | 16:43 |
| cody-somerville | There was an upload today | 16:43 |
| bytor4232 | Ah. | 16:43 |
| bytor4232 | Hopefully that will be settled out before the Intrepid final. | 16:44 |

| TheOneBlackMage | hello, I was hoping someone might be able to give me some advice on troubleshooting a network problem | 17:46 |
| TheOneBlackMage | My Xubuntu maching on 8.04 (Kernel 2.6.24-19-generic) when I'm doing a lot of file transfer, the networking stops working. I can ping machines on the same subnet, but nothing external. I don't believe the gateway is accessible either. If i run /etc/init.d/networking restart, it starts working again. I've checked /var/log/messages, and can't see any errors. Is there a way to turn on more logging? | 17:47 |
| Odd-rationale | can you describe it? | 17:47 |
| Odd-rationale | hmm... | 17:47 |
| Odd-rationale | you might want to try the main #ubuntu channel for that one... | 17:48 |
| TheOneBlackMage | ok thanks | 17:48 |
| TheOneBlackMage | it did sound more generic, but I am running XFCE | 17:48 |
| Odd-rationale | it's just another way to say, "I don't know" :P | 17:49 |
| TheOneBlackMage | no worries, i'm stumped myself | 17:49 |
| TheOneBlackMage | if i could just get some more logging around networking, it would be a start | 17:50 |

| bytor4232 | nparafe: I noticed that as well. Good question. | 19:10 |
| cody-somerville | Do you have an nvidia card? | 19:14 |
| nparafe | cody-somerville i do if i am the one who you refer | 19:17 |
| cody-somerville | well, you can use the nvidia-settings tool | 19:17 |
| cody-somerville | although, you'll probably have to hack the xorg.conf file afterwards, lol | 19:17 |
| cody-somerville | and it has to run as root to save the settings, lol | 19:18 |
| cody-somerville | 9.04 will fix this as xfce 4.6 has a nice xrandr based display config tool | 19:18 |

| alyawn | but I see nothing in syslog about cron attempting to mail anything | 19:51 |
| cody-somerville | alyawn, right. so that won't work unless you configure an smtp server. | 19:52 |
| Ahtenus | No no green balls | 19:52 |
| Ahtenus | can you hear me ? awkward using irc and setting up wireless.. | 19:53 |
| cody-somerville | lol | 19:53 |
| vinnl | Ahtenus, OK, what you could try is click the icon and press Manual Configuration | 19:53 |
| vinnl | Heh, yeah, we can hear you :) | 19:53 |
| cody-somerville | Frankly, all I hear is my music | 19:53 |
| vinnl | I was thinking whether I'd add "well, read, actually", but decided not to :P | 19:53 |
| Ahtenus | vinnI, that is what i have done... but see me through anyway.. | 19:53 |
| alyawn | cody-somerville, so I have to install an smtp server... so is there a preferred smtp server package for xubuntu? | 19:54 |
| cody-somerville | not particularly | 19:54 |
| vinnl | Ahtenus, well, you can then select "Properties" of your wireless device, and you can then uncheck "Enable roaming mode" | 19:54 |
| cody-somerville | alyawn, I'd visit #ubuntu-server for more detailed assistance | 19:54 |
| alyawn | ok | 19:54 |
| alyawn | thx | 19:54 |
| Ahtenus | unchecked.. | 19:54 |
| vinnl | And then configure it there and see if it'll work there... Or is that what you already did? | 19:55 |
| Ahtenus | vinnl, yes that is what i have done. | 19:55 |
| vinnl | Ow... Then I guess I'm out of options, all I now is to ask ubottu | 19:56 |

| belgarath_ | xxubuxx it sounds really weird! i dont know exactly how the ppp is working on xubuntu... but when i used ppp (long time ago) i always had some problem with lock-files that was stored in /tmp | 23:51 |
| xxubuxx | lock-files? | 23:52 |
| belgarath_ | xxubuxx you dont recieve any errors? | 23:56 |
| Zappza | Hi alL! | 23:58 |
| Zappza | *all | 23:59 |
| xxubuxx | belgarath_: no error at all. programs like chatzilla don't even detect the hanging-up | 23:59 |
