[04:14] nope [04:16] CarlFK: it's a new model. i hope i'll find a way to use it.. thanks [04:17] CarlFK: lsusb returns: Bus 005 Device 011: ID 04a9:1905 Canon, Inc.

[04:35] 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] i would do sudo vim /etc/sane.d/canonlide200.conf [04:37] CarlFK: i just went to the /etc/sane.d folde and i don't see canonlide200 file .. [04:37] what is the #media-u channel? [04:37] create it [04:37] CarlFK: maybe it's for ubuntu media edition? [04:37] echo foo>bar.txt creates bar.txt [04:38] yeah - what is the name of the channel?

[04:48] 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] im not finding this in synaptic [04:48] could it be a diff name? [04:49] R1cochet: use this repo: deb http://cp600:3142/akirad.cinelerra.org/ akirad-hardy main [04:49] whoops... [04:49] that's my local one..

[04:59] owen1: no clue - sorry [04:59] owen1: I wouldn't give up hope - google sane-find-scanner and see what you should do next [05:00] CarlFK: np. thanks for all the help.

[08:46] you can also use synaptic package manager and with search option find and install software in repositories [08:46] alternatively you could download *.deb for your platform/distribution version and install it with dubleclick on *.deb [08:51] 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] If you are compiling package yurself use commands sudo apt-get build-dep _package_ [08:52] how do i log in as root? [08:53] and install documentation for build with sudo apt-get install debian-reference [08:54] ok when i open synaptic and it asks for pass, thats the same as root pass right?

[16:27] /usr/games/sol [16:27] james__, you can use the AppFinder for that, in the future :) [16:28] Oooh, that AppFinder is a life saver! No more manually working out the commands. Thanks guys [16:28] :) [16:29] My only wish is the menu was drag and drop :-( [16:29] Same here :) [16:36] whats app finder [16:36] !appfinder [16:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about appfinder [16:37] It's in Applications->Accessories->Appfinder [16:37] (And it's set to be improved a lot in Xfce 4.6 :) [16:38] I still think its a little non-intuitive to add a blank launcher, and have to fill it in manually or with appfinder. [16:38] It is [16:38] Not enough to make me hate XFCE, I still love it to death, but its kindof a pain.

I had to enter it for both the wireless access points I connect to. [16:42] I thought they'd solved that with this version of NM? [16:43] I upgraded the laptop on Saturday so no. [16:43] There was an upload today [16:43] Ah. [16:44] Hopefully that will be settled out before the Intrepid final. [16:44] everything but my server is upgraded now, btw. [16:44] All three of my desktops and my lappy. [16:45] cody-somerville: BTW, the new Xubuntu wallpaper was like reading my mind! [16:45] cody-somerville: I was looking for a wallpaper with the Xubuntu logo on it. [16:47] :] [16:47] it was a plesant suprise to say the least. [16:52] Am I right in thinking 8.10 is gunna be out too soon to include XFCE 4.6? Will I be able to upgrade later on? [16:53] james__, yep [16:53] erm [16:53] no [16:53] you are wrong [16:53] There's a repository available to install it, but it's not final [16:53] Myrtti, how? [16:53] officially 8.10 will not have 4.6, I believe [16:53] cody-somerville ^ [16:53] Myrtti, that's what he said :) [16:54] Too soon to include 4.6 [16:54] missing comma [16:54] or something [16:54] doesn't parse right in brain [16:54] moar caffeine [16:54] I've tried to turn it every way I could but I can't read it another way :P [16:58] roight [16:58] * Myrtti waves her hands and runs off.

[17:44] we'll see [17:46] hello, I was hoping someone might be able to give me some advice on troubleshooting a network problem [17:47] 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] can you describe it? [17:47] hmm... [17:48] you might want to try the main #ubuntu channel for that one... [17:48] ok thanks [17:48] it did sound more generic, but I am running XFCE [17:49] it's just another way to say, "I don't know" :P [17:49] no worries, i'm stumped myself [17:50] if i could just get some more logging around networking, it would be a start [18:20] how do I install new mouse pointers in xubuntu? [18:43] the default install of xubuntu doesn't seem to mail me when cron jobs complete or fail (or at all). How do I tell cron to email me? I've added MAILTO to my crontab, but nothing [18:44] am I missing a required package to enable mail to be sent out? [18:49] What do you have set to MAILTO? [18:53] where can i obtain netboot files for xubuntu without downloading the whole installation CD? [18:59] Ask vinnl [19:05] please, help to install xubuntu on alix 3c3!!! [19:06] What is an Aliex 3c3? [19:06] and whats your problem? [19:08] I assume he means this: http://www.mini-box.com/Alix-3C-Board-3-LAN-1-MINI-PCI-1_2 [19:08] i have installed xubuntu 8.10 beta. Is there a monitor choose tool. Because desktopconfig-gtk doesn't seem to work in this release. [19:10] nparafe: I noticed that as well. Good question. [19:14] Do you have an nvidia card? [19:17] cody-somerville i do if i am the one who you refer [19:17] well, you can use the nvidia-settings tool [19:17] although, you'll probably have to hack the xorg.conf file afterwards, lol [19:18] and it has to run as root to save the settings, lol [19:18] 9.04 will fix this as xfce 4.6 has a nice xrandr based display config tool [19:19] nparafe: yes, the board is ALIX3c3, I've many many problems with screen output... just flashed the .img file of voyage linux from http://www.yawarra.com.au/sw-osimages.php on a CF 1GB, but I cannot see the screen output, so I've added console=tty0 and console=ttyS0,38400n8 at startup and just arrived (on serial terminal) at login stage, but the screen output stop 2 lines befor the login.... [19:40] I have problem connecting to my wireless router. I've typed in the name and password to the WPA encrypted network but then nothing happens. I don'n [19:41] Ahtenus, did the icon in the top right-hand corner change? [19:43] Currently it is showing that it's connected. It's like a cable between 2 computers. but I'm connected through cabel now. [19:44] Right, so there were no green balls glowing when connecting? [19:44] humm wait going to try again... [19:51] cody-somerville: I have my MAILTO set to an external address... [19:51] but I see nothing in syslog about cron attempting to mail anything [19:52] alyawn, right. so that won't work unless you configure an smtp server. [19:52] No no green balls [19:53] can you hear me ? awkward using irc and setting up wireless.. [19:53] lol [19:53] Ahtenus, OK, what you could try is click the icon and press Manual Configuration [19:53] Heh, yeah, we can hear you :) [19:53] Frankly, all I hear is my music [19:53] I was thinking whether I'd add "well, read, actually", but decided not to :P [19:53] vinnI, that is what i have done... but see me through anyway.. [19:54] cody-somerville, so I have to install an smtp server... so is there a preferred smtp server package for xubuntu? [19:54] not particularly [19:54] Ahtenus, well, you can then select "Properties" of your wireless device, and you can then uncheck "Enable roaming mode" [19:54] alyawn, I'd visit #ubuntu-server for more detailed assistance [19:54] ok [19:54] thx [19:54] unchecked.. [19:55] And then configure it there and see if it'll work there... Or is that what you already did? [19:55] vinnl, yes that is what i have done. [19:56] Ow... Then I guess I'm out of options, all I now is to ask ubottu [19:56] !wireless [19:56] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:57] *know now [19:57] vinnl,okey [19:58] Sorry :( [19:58] okey:-( [20:00] vinnl, so there is no easy way to see all the available Wireless networks?

[23:44] xxubuxx sry, i have never used the modem on my eeepc. I experienced some problem with the wireless when I put the machine to sleep mode.

[23:56] xxubuxx you dont recieve any errors? [23:58] Hi alL! [23:59] *all [23:59] belgarath_: no error at all. programs like chatzilla don't even detect the hanging-up
