[00:06] Hi guys, in hardy i was using the nvidia-glx-new package, but i can't find it on intrepid beta? Has a new name?? [00:06] !info nvidia-glx-new [00:06] nvidia-glx-new (source: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 (2.6.24.13-19.45)): NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'new' driver. In component restricted, is optional. Version 169.12+2.6.24.13-19.45 (hardy), package size 5126 kB, installed size 15256 kB [00:07] ah, that's still hardy [00:07] there is a nvidia-glx-new-envy, but not sure if is the same [00:08] nikkolai: looks like there are also nvidia-glx-177 and such [00:08] and nvidia-glx installs them all [00:08] maybe they don't conflict anymore? [00:09] no idea :D.. will read a bit about thhat packages... thnx [00:26] what's the bash command to append text to a file? [00:29] echo "yada" >> myfile [00:38] thanks [00:49] lol mini-man cool name [00:49] thx [00:49] ok... progress made..

[02:51] i believe so [02:51] i don't remember the exact size [02:52] think it will fit happily? [02:53] it takes 1.5 gb. http://www.xubuntu.org/get#hardy [02:53] ok then, thank you [05:54] who's on intrepid? anyone experiencing windows not sticking? https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/271188 [06:00] how to enable policykit on xubuntu? [06:19] I have some files in a ........../subdirectory on a removable drive. I want them (the subdirectory) to be automatically available in my home directory when the drive is plugged in. Would mount -bind or mount -rbind do this? [08:56] Hey xubuntu fans, anybody recommend a good distro with Xfce aside from Xubuntu? [08:58] maalsa: for what? [08:59] for... use? [08:59] I am no pro.... but if I'm not mistaken you could download the other distros and just d/l the XFCE [08:59] That's how I got it [09:00] maalsa: what kind of use, different distros are good for different things [09:03] TheSheep: I suppose just, "average" use. I've recently been on the hunt for a good distro to switch to. I've tried Xubuntu (like it) and Mandriva (also like it) and I'm just wondering what else is out there [09:03] TheSheep: You probably know more about this than me [09:07] maalsa: everybody thinks that what they do is "average" [09:08] TheSheep: Nevermind.. [09:12] I've been messing around with XFCE a bit and I have run into two issues.... I came from Kubuntu8.04 KDE4.01 to Kubuntu8.04 XFCE on a older PC [09:12] Is tat Kubuntu original install bogging down the system? [09:12] that* [09:12] The other is the networking to a windows PC [09:13] viabobed: You've gotten farther than me, can't help you out. I'll be getting dirty within the next few weeks though as I attempt to set up a small thin client network (eep) [09:13] viabobed: details? [09:15] maalsa: Thanks... TheSheep: PCSpecs; Amd Athalon 1400+, 256MB RAM, Generic Laptop Video Card [09:16] viabobed: did you uninstall KDE? [09:17] viabobed: how much ram does it use without any app running? [09:20] I downloaded the "remix version of kubuntu online and found it to heavy for this system [09:20] before I went to the XFCE system... I got KDE4.01 which improved plenty of issues [09:20] No I have not uninstalled KDE... I found the command to do that using apt-get protocal [09:20] but, I am afraid its going to be unstable [09:20] since thats my original install [09:21] 160-180MB was the number I have been seen lately [09:21] maybe a lighter distro period will help speed things up [09:22] if you like the ubuntu base, there's always fluxbuntu (but you have to be a fan of fluxbox) [09:28] viabobed: can you open the system monitor, enable the 'writable memory' tab and see what's taling the most of it? [09:33] Right now I cant check to compare.. I have ffox, pidgeon, and adept running an update [09:33] But ill tell you how its running with these apps... [09:33] Ok update finished... 54% CPU usage, 91MB usage memory and swap, 157MB [09:33] Not bad after closing ffox and update [09:33] but still reasonably slow [09:34] Uninstall KDE? [09:34] .user [09:34] :( wifi disconnect [09:34] 54% CPU usage, 91MB usage memory and swap, 157MB [09:34] (04:25:59 AM) viabobed: Not bad after closing ffox and update [09:34] (04:26:07 AM) viabobed: but still reasonably slow [09:34] Sure [09:37] Ok opened System Monitor.. I have ffox on top with 24MB, GNome System Monitor and Pidgeon on top or writable memory [09:37] After that nm-aplet [09:38] what's next? [09:39] and maybe something is using cpu constantly? [09:40] xcfe4panel, xcfemenu, keded4... but by the time you get to keded4 the writable memory usage is 1.5MB [09:40] let me check what is using CPU [09:46] I am looking at everything and... I guess this CPU might be to weak for the OS [09:46] Because system monitor is on top of cpu usage at the moment [09:46] then pidgeon, and kded4 jumps the most [09:46] So.. i guess its pretty normal [09:46] I just am not used 54% of cpu on minimal aps [09:46] and playing chess vs cpu puts the cpu to 100% [09:47] what's kded4? [09:47] :/ [09:47] I have no idea [09:47] try killing it :) [09:47] Might be one of the KDE files [09:48] Killed it [09:48] 40-45% Cpu [09:48] Helped a bit [09:49] Believe me if I new all of the critical processes to the system I would have killed everything but that [09:50] On Xp i try to keep my list less than 29 processes [09:50] I have 6 things autostarting including one I added for the "attempt" to setup the home network [09:51] I guess.. If anything I'll research the system files later [09:52] Last question was, do you have any links/bookmarks on the networking of Kubuntu 8.04 with XFCE with Windows NT based pcs? [09:52] I appreciate all of your time TheSheep [09:52] viabobed: go to settings maanger, sessions and startup and untick the 'start kde services at startup' [09:52] viabobed: might help [09:52] Ok [09:53] that will slow down startup of kde apps a little, but relieve system resources when not using kde apps [09:53] Great [09:54] While I was at it I removed the update managers and the printer spooler [09:54] Since i don't need those for a while [09:54] I only left networking and power management since im on a laptop [09:54] :) [09:57] TheSheep thanks for all of the help [09:58] I think I am going to run a bit leaner now [09:58] I gotta head out [10:02] Why won't my process just die when I kill it? [10:11] Woo: it it a zombie? [10:11] Yes. [10:12] zombies are dead already, can't kill them [10:12] Woo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process [10:12] Shit... I'll have to break the emergency glass then. [10:12] Woo: they are harmless [10:13] It's not that. The process was a daemon for a program I was running, and I can't restart because it won't rot. [10:14] Woo: how did you start that daemon? [10:15] I think I just said deluge in the terminal. [10:16] and that terminal is still running? [10:16] No, I rebooted the machie. [10:17] and that still didn't get rid of the process? %) [10:17] Things are working now. [10:17] \o/ [10:25] But it was annoying having to restart since it would not dissappear so I could restart the application. [10:39] hi [10:41] hello [16:09] anybody have an idea how i can figure out why evince always runs at startup for me? very annoying [16:10] cephi, you possibly have saved it at session [16:10] hmmm [16:10] cephi, turn off all the progs, then on the log out screen select "save session..." [16:10] then log in again, evince shouldn't start [16:10] ok, will try, thx [16:11] but on the next logout, remember to check out [16:11] (the "save...") [16:11] right [16:11] brb logout [16:13] hey it worked thanks [16:13] np [16:14] Now for the other really annoying part of my startup: can anyone tell me how to get xubuntu to remember my WPA password? Currently, I have to enter it every time [16:23] cephi, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=157808 [16:23] cephi, basically, if you set the password to , it will not ask for it, because it's empty [16:28] hm, but it doesn't want a password for the gnome keyring from me; it wants the WPA passwords itself [16:28] ah, sorry for misreading [16:29] removing/backuping the keyring file might still be a good idea, though [16:31] i'll have a go at it === mini-man_ is now known as mini-man [17:07] anyone have any idea why i can't add the volume plugin to my panel? running hardy [17:10] http://pastebin.com/m5dae87e0 [17:12] Wonderful. [17:12] ? [17:12] I just updated my laptop, which is running Intrepid, and now my mouse and kbd doesn't work. [17:12] fun [17:12] I'm CLI baby [17:13] xorg issue? [17:13] I'm sure [17:13] you using an xorg.conf or it's autoconfig stuff? [18:17] hello.. could someone help with configuring xubuntu 8.10b to use a printer which is shared from a windows vista computer? [18:57] anyone have any idea why i can't add the volume plugin to my panel? running hardy -- http://pastebin.com/m5dae87e0 [18:57] KlrSpz: try drag and drop [18:57] KlrSpz: it's a bug [18:58] christ [18:58] that's weird, cuz it's on and off when it works or doesn't [19:00] TheSheep: thanks for the quick response, appreciate it [19:19] hello [19:19] is the only way to reconfigure xorg by the cd? [19:19] steven__: you can do "sudo dpgk-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" [19:20] tried that [19:20] tells me i'm overwriting customizable configuration [19:20] yeah... [19:22] any ideas? [19:22] it doesn't change anything [19:23] doesn't even let me choose resolutions [19:23] mouse keyboard [19:23] boom back to command line [19:23] !resolution [19:23] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [19:24] hmm [19:24] i will look [19:24] !alternative nick [19:24] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:24] !_ [19:25] steven__, watch your "__" [19:27] ? [19:31] lost... [19:32] hardy heron is the only one i've had this prob with [19:34] Help, new to os, eepc, can't see bottom of windows [19:34] Bradasdf, alt+drag [19:34] thx [19:35] Just got it today [20:55] what kind of mini-man are you ? [20:56] ? [20:56] sorry [20:56] :D [20:56] I thougt your name is mini-van [20:56] lol xD [20:57] you run xubuntu ? too [21:37] where is the firefox32 icon at? I thought it was /usr/share/pixmaps/firefox32-3.png... which I replaced...but the default firefox icon is still showing up when I restart firefox32 [21:41] you can probably download it from google, [21:41] or do a find/locate command [21:55] !pdf [21:55] pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [22:26] bah. why have all my icons suddenly disappeared in all firefoxes? I have 3 versions of 3.x (vanilla used by ubufox, another used by swiftfox, and yet another used by firefox32 apparently?) and all show x's for icons in the toolbar [22:26] googled it and tried removing the 'linux32' before the firefox32 shell script... that didn't help [22:39] Hi I am trying to figure out how to keep the panel from grouping windows of the same type. [22:39] hopefully for just terminal [22:39] any ideas? [22:41] right-click on the very first few pixels of the task list [22:41] properties [22:41] in the dropbox select never group tasks [22:43] rocking Thanks ++mini-man [22:43] np [22:44] mini-man: tried changing your icon theme? [22:44] Odd-rationale, yes, several times [22:45] even reinstalled each and every one of the versions i have installed, one by one [22:45] mini-man: hmm.. idk, maby backup your bookmarks and remove ~/.mozilla [22:47] hi, someone know where i can find mod_slotlimit package? it's a project that i've found on sourceforge [22:50] I doubt there is a package. It appears to have been released just 5 weeks ago [22:50] if you install the -dev package that matches your running version of apache you probably should be able to compile it though [22:51] thanks zoredache, nobody had never asìnwer ;) [22:51] Odd-rationale, ok, completely *removed* firefox and all traces of it, and installed and the icons are back... BUT it's not saving my bookmarks at all [22:52] I googled it, and did the tweak in about:config, restarted, added bookmark, restarted, and bookmark disappears [22:52] no idea why [22:55] check the permissions on your firefox profile directory. Perhaps you managed to open your firefox profile as root and you can no longer write to it? [22:56] ls -alR ~/.mozilla/firefox/ [22:56] zoredache, you're right :) [22:56] zoredache, thanks [23:49] So, my system hangs when booting up [23:49] its when it loads hal [23:49] is there a way to look at why? [23:57] is there a way to reduce the size of the tray icons in xfce? [23:59] don't they just try to resize them selves to fit the size of the panel? Try changing the panel height
