| mini-man | yes, but that reduces the normal 16x16 pixel icons for the menus and launchers | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| mini-man | my panel is 24px, and everything but tray icons are 16px | 00:01 |
| mini-man | with a nice amount of padding | 00:01 |
| mini-man | while tray icons are 24px | 00:02 |

| DarkTan | is there a special install when using SCSI hard drives? | 02:37 |
| charlie-tca | DarkTan: not to my knowledge | 02:38 |
| DarkTan | i'm having issues | 02:38 |
| charlie-tca | What kind of issues | 02:38 |
| DarkTan | i have an old IBM Netfinity 5600 Server. 5 20gb SCSI Drives. Every time i try to run the install, it get errors saying the CD is curropted | 02:38 |
| DarkTan | currupted* | 02:39 |
| DarkTan | the CD or DVD works fine in another computer, so i tried swapping out CD drives | 02:39 |
| charlie-tca | Does the cd pass the "Check the CD for defects? | 02:39 |
| DarkTan | did so three times, same error | 02:39 |
| DarkTan | Cd passes in a different computer | 02:39 |
| charlie-tca | Fails in this one, right? | 02:39 |
| DarkTan | yes | 02:40 |
| DarkTan | so, i then fire up a different desktop, try to install, works fine | 02:40 |
| DarkTan | take that CD drive, put it in the IBM, same error | 02:40 |
| charlie-tca | Last one I had do that, I had to burn another CD to install | 02:40 |
| charlie-tca | Sounds like that CD drive is bad. | 02:40 |
| DarkTan | however, when i try to access the CD drives in windows, everythings works fine | 02:40 |
| DarkTan | except the drive works great in a different comp | 02:40 |
| DarkTan | and under windows | 02:40 |
| charlie-tca | Try burning a new install CD, then. That did work for me | 02:41 |
| DarkTan | tried that as well, same error | 02:41 |
| DarkTan | Also tried severl older version of live DVD's that i had lying around | 02:41 |
| DarkTan | i get the menu, starts to load, fails | 02:42 |
| DarkTan | put the DVD in a different computer, using the same drive, and they work fine | 02:42 |
| charlie-tca | Got another cd drive you could swap? | 02:42 |
| DarkTan | i've gine through 5 so far | 02:42 |
| DarkTan | gone* | 02:42 |
| charlie-tca | drives? | 02:43 |
| DarkTan | yep | 02:43 |
| charlie-tca | What about swapping the cables? | 02:43 |
| DarkTan | you, know i never thought of that since they work under windows | 02:43 |
| DarkTan | i'll try that | 02:43 |
| charlie-tca | Yea, I know. | 02:43 |
| DarkTan | hmmm....don't currently have a cable long enought | 02:49 |
| DarkTan | wuth have to obtain one and try that | 02:49 |
| DarkTan | will* | 02:49 |
| DarkTan | thanks tho | 02:50 |
| charlie-tca | good luck | 02:51 |

| zianello | hi | 13:36 |
| zianello | someone can help me? | 13:36 |
| zianello | i have just installed xubuntu 8.04 | 13:36 |
| blabla2004 | :-) | 13:36 |
| wormsxulla_ | blabla2004: try to find the driver somewhere else? | 13:37 |
| zianello | my wireless driver is an intel 1500 | 13:37 |
| zianello | but xubuntu doesn't see it | 13:37 |
| zianello | what i have to do? | 13:38 |
| blabla2004 | wormsxulla_: thanks, i figured it out myself | 13:41 |
| wormsxulla_ | :p | 13:42 |
| wormsxulla | hello. i'm looking for a GUI to add an item to the system menu in xubuntu 7.10, and i just can't find it | 15:01 |
| wormsxulla | the closest i found is "appfinder", but i can't find the "menu editor". is there one? | 15:02 |
| knome | wormsxulla, i'm not 100% sure, but creating a .desktop file isn't hard | 15:03 |
| wormsxulla | :-( | 15:03 |
| knome | wormsxulla, (that's the way menu items are added to menu) | 15:03 |
| charlie-tca | There is no GUI to add to the menus, there is menu editor though | 15:03 |
| charlie-tca | I am looking for it now | 15:04 |
| wormsxulla | i'd like to avoid editing text files. i used ubuntu 5.10 in the past, i'm pretty sure there was a menu editor. could it had been removed in xubuntu? | 15:04 |
| wormsxulla | thanks :) | 15:04 |
| knome | charlie-tca, imho we should try to create the menu icons for every pkg in the repo rather than telling on how to add them, though | 15:04 |
| knome | wormsxulla, can you tell me which app it is, if it's one? | 15:05 |
| wormsxulla | knome: actually, i want to add a manually installed app | 15:05 |
| knome | wormsxulla, / which pkg in the repo | 15:05 |
| knome | ok | 15:05 |
| charlie-tca | knome: agreed, this is 7.10 though | 15:05 |
| wormsxulla | seamonkey 2.a | 15:05 |
| knome | charlie-tca, but there's a lot of apps w/o menu icons in 8.04 too | 15:05 |
| knome | charlie-tca, don't know about 8.10... | 15:05 |
| wormsxulla | yes, i do understand that i'm using an oldish 7.10, but it's not my own machine, i can't upgrade | 15:06 |
| charlie-tca | knome: most of the .desktop files are created, in /usr/share/applications but for some reason are not added | 15:07 |
| wormsxulla | heh | 15:07 |
| knome | charlie-tca, really? | 15:07 |
| charlie-tca | yea | 15:07 |
| knome | charlie-tca, so they are hidden in the .desktop files? | 15:08 |
| knome | charlie-tca, or...? | 15:08 |
| charlie-tca | wormsxulla: could you take a look in there and see if your app is listed | 15:08 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know | 15:08 |
| knome | well at least gisomount didn't have a .desktop file | 15:08 |
| wormsxulla | http://forum.xfce.org/index.php?topic=2658.0 <--- that's the proper way to do it masochistically? | 15:08 |
| charlie-tca | knome: I know when an item doesn't appear, I look in /usr/share/applications to see what to put in my menui | 15:09 |
| wormsxulla | maybe one need to be sudo to see the menu editor? | 15:09 |
| wormsxulla | (silly question, surely) | 15:09 |
| knome | charlie-tca, sure... i do that as well, but there's just not files for every app in the repo | 15:10 |
| charlie-tca | knome: no, usually they appear after adding the application | 15:11 |
| knome | charlie-tca, yes usually | 15:11 |
| wormsxulla | charlie-tca: no, my application is not listed in usr/share/applications | 15:11 |
| knome | charlie-tca, but even after adding app there is no file in /u/s/a | 15:12 |
| charlie-tca | okay | 15:12 |
| wormsxulla | (because i installed it manually by uncompressing the .tar?) | 15:12 |
| knome | have to go | 15:13 |
| knome | charlie-tca, let's continue this conversation later :) | 15:14 |
| charlie-tca | sure | 15:14 |
| charlie-tca | wormsxulla: still looking | 15:15 |
| wormsxulla | :) thanks, i am too | 15:15 |
| wormsxulla | charlie-tca: i found a "create launcher" by right-clicking in the desktop | 15:17 |
| wormsxulla | could it be it? :) | 15:17 |
| charlie-tca | But that won't put it in a menu. | 15:17 |
| wormsxulla | erf :-( | 15:17 |
| charlie-tca | Does right click Applications give edit menu? | 15:17 |
| wormsxulla | YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 15:18 |
| wormsxulla | :) thank you! | 15:18 |
| wormsxulla | wow. sometimes i just miss the obvious | 15:18 |
| charlie-tca | Happy to help :) | 15:18 |
| wormsxulla | now to look for the icon :) | 15:23 |

| zizou03 | Hello, could anybody help me? How do I list only files starting with hda for instance? something like > ls hda* or something | 17:33 |
| zizou03 | Reason, trying to see what hda number my usb hard drive has, but when I ls in /dev/ I get a million files | 17:33 |
| Odd-rationale | zizou03: ls | grep hda ? | 17:33 |
| zizou03 | Let me try | 17:33 |
| Odd-rationale | zizou03: easier hay to find what you want is "sudo fdisk -l" | 17:34 |
| Odd-rationale | (lowercase L) | 17:34 |
| zizou03 | Ok, cheers odd-rationale | 17:34 |
| zizou03 | I'll give it a shot right now | 17:34 |
| zizou03 | I don't think I have fdisk installed? (Ubuntu server) | 17:35 |
| Odd-rationale | zizou03: you should... | 17:35 |
| zizou03 | oh | 17:35 |
| zizou03 | yea | 17:35 |
| zizou03 | I see now, sorry, typo >_> | 17:36 |
| zizou03 | Ok | 17:36 |
| zizou03 | Cheers :) | 17:36 |
| Odd-rationale | np | 17:36 |
| zizou03 | got another question though, can I make my mounting point like in a shared folder ? | 17:36 |
| zizou03 | Or do I need to make a diff share point for the usb hdd? | 17:37 |
| Odd-rationale | zizou03: you want to share the usb driveover the network? | 17:37 |
| zizou03 | yea, that's the idea | 17:37 |
| zizou03 | I have an old comp with a small hdd, but I have 500gb external drive which I'd like to hook up | 17:38 |
| zizou03 | (and I'm relatively new to unix/linux/networking) | 17:38 |
| Odd-rationale | zizou03: i thing the easiest way would be to mount the drive to somthing like /media/share then share that folder... | 17:38 |
| zizou03 | Hmm, yea, probably :) | 17:39 |
| zizou03 | Yea, I think that'd be smarter (and it works, so lol) | 17:42 |
| ron_ | alright, so I tried aptoncd, which is basically a way to include all your apps in your /var/cache/apt directory on cd so you can replace them and whatnot if need be, or use them on another computer | 17:43 |
| ron_ | however, the cd/dvd doesn't appear to be appendable, so there could be potentially a lot of wasted space and such if you kept creating new ones. | 17:44 |
| ron_ | but is aptoncd really necessary? | 17:44 |
| === mini-man_ is now known as mini-man | ||
| ron_ | couldn't you just copy all the files in /var/cache/apt to a dvd and run dpkg on them all? maybe as $ dpkg *.* ? | 17:45 |
| ron_ | or dpkg *.deb ? | 17:45 |
| ron_ | I think you could do the latter. | 17:45 |
| ron_ | anyone ever tried dpkg on a whole directory? | 17:46 |
| ron_ | and if you're missing some fricking libraries, I can see some really crazy things going on too with dpkg | 17:50 |
| ron_ | dpkg is awesome and powerful, is has -R or --recursive which will do what I want. | 18:02 |
| ron_ | aptoncd looks a bit unnecessary. dpkg probably won't install something if it's already installed. | 18:02 |
| cephi | can anyone give me a hint about getting xubuntu to remember my WPA pwd? Currently, I have to reenter it every time I log in. | 19:07 |
| ron_ | cephi, I don't have wifi, but isnt' that a good thing? | 19:23 |
| eirehack | what is Xubuntu Hug Day? | 19:36 |
| charlie-tca | The day we try to triage as many bugs as possible | 19:37 |
| cephi | no ron, it would be a bad thing to have no pwd. i want to keep my pwd, i just want my laptop to remember the pwd rather than prompting me for it. | 19:37 |
| eirehack | i see, how can i help with that then? | 19:37 |
| charlie-tca | Do you know how to triage already? | 19:38 |
| eirehack | not yet | 19:38 |
| charlie-tca | Then I guess you start learning; here is a place to start: | 19:39 |

| shirish | hi all, any idea how can I get the nm-applet in xfce/or in xubuntu? | 19:53 |
| eirehack | shirish: i believe you can find "network-manager" as well as "network-manager-gnome" in the repositories | 19:57 |
| eirehack | check synaptic | 19:57 |
| eirehack | the GNOME frontend will also work for you in Xfce (i use it) if you have a systray on a panel | 19:58 |
| kosmofield | hello, I have a old laptop with 128 mb memory and 20 gb hard drive, will xubuntu work ok? :/ | 19:59 |
| shirish | eirehack: I have network-manager as well network-manager-gnome installed | 20:00 |
| shirish | eirehack: I dunno how to get the application in the systray/panel | 20:00 |
| shirish | eirehack: I dunno how to get the application in the systray on the panel | 20:00 |
| eirehack | i see. did you have to install those packages yourself? | 20:01 |
| eirehack | i believe you may need to add it to your Auto-started Apps | 20:02 |
| shirish | eirehack: yup, both the applications are there and they are installed | 20:02 |
| shirish | eirehack: how do I do that in xfce? | 20:02 |
| eirehack | "autostarted apps" should be found in the Settings menu | 20:02 |
| eirehack | or, on the Settings Manager | 20:03 |
| shirish | eirehack: I am in the xfce settings manager, I am not seeing any autostarted apps entry here | 20:03 |
| shirish | I see sessions and startup though, there GNOME services are clicked. | 20:04 |
| eirehack | is it in the menus? before you click to the Settings Manager. also, which version of Xubuntu are you running? | 20:04 |
| eirehack | sessions and startup may be what we're looking for | 20:05 |
| eirehack | sorry--my desktop is Xubuntu 8.04, but right now im on my eee laptop with Xubuntu 7.10, and from what i remember, the menus and settings interface have changed | 20:05 |
| shirish | I'm actually on 8.10 and using both ubuntu & xubuntu | 20:06 |
| eirehack | thank you | 20:07 |
| shirish | sessions and startup has a general and an advanced tab | 20:07 |
| shirish | in advanced tab if I go it just shows me 3 checkboxes | 20:08 |
| eirehack | okay, im in that tool as well. it looks like none of that will help. were you able to find "Autostarted Applications" in the 'Start' menu? | 20:08 |
| shirish | eirehack: nope, there isn't | 20:09 |
| eirehack | ahh | 20:10 |
| shirish | eirehack: that's actually the xfce menu that you are talking about | 20:10 |
| eirehack | which menu are you using? | 20:10 |
| shirish | eirehack: there is one showing a mouse and its called Xfce Menu | 20:11 |
| eirehack | is that your menu? | 20:11 |
| shirish | eirehack: yup, that's it, is there any other menu as well? | 20:11 |
| eirehack | and you're using Hardy, correct | 20:11 |
| eirehack | no, not that im aware of unless you construct your own menu layout | 20:11 |
| shirish | eirehack: nope, this is 8.10 | 20:12 |
| eirehack | ohhh okay | 20:12 |
| eirehack | wooh haven't tried that yet, actually. | 20:12 |
| shirish | eirehack: but this mouse menu has been there since quite a long long time. | 20:12 |
| eirehack | yes it has | 20:12 |
| eirehack | im concerned that the way you adjust settings in xubuntu may have changed with that release | 20:12 |
| shirish | eirehack: ah ok, isn't there an CLI equivalent of "Autostarted applications", there should be, shoudn't it? | 20:13 |
| eirehack | there may be, but i havent used it. i will try to find a way to add network-manager-gnome to a configuration file | 20:14 |
| shirish | eirehack: thanx | 20:15 |
| eirehack | shirish: no problem, hope i can help | 20:16 |
| shirish | eirehack: what do you think of this ~/.cache/sessions/xfce4-session-* | 20:21 |
| eirehack | ive checked that, and for me it appears to contain some information about my current session and what applets started | 20:24 |
| shirish | eirehack: right | 20:24 |
| eirehack | did you add xfce on top of an existing ubuntu 8.10? | 20:25 |
| shirish | eirehack: right, but this has been a machine which has seen constant updates and upgrades since feisty | 20:27 |
| shirish | eirehack: no clean installs | 20:27 |
| shirish | eirehack: foray into xfce/xubuntu has been recent though | 20:27 |
| eirehack | i see | 20:27 |
| eirehack | i would expect the Settings Manager to be complete and include Autostarted Applications, then :/ | 20:28 |
| eirehack | i may have found a different way, with config files | 20:29 |
| eirehack | just a moment | 20:29 |
| shirish | eirehack: sure | 20:29 |
| eirehack | GOT IT | 20:31 |
| wormsxulla | hello. could anyone recommend a good tool with a decent GUI to compress/uncompress jar, xpi and other zip files? | 20:31 |
| shirish | correction, using xfwm4.5 I just checked in Window Manager | 20:31 |
| shirish | eirehack: cool | 20:31 |
| eirehack | oh okay | 20:31 |
| TheSheep | wormsxulla: file-roller | 20:31 |
| wormsxulla | TheSheep: thank you | 20:31 |
| eirehack | shirish: i believe /etc/xdg/autostart/ is what we're looking for | 20:31 |
| eirehack | that contains, among other auto-started applets in my case, nm-applet.desktop | 20:32 |
| shirish | eirehack: it also says the same nm-applet.desktop at my end | 20:32 |
| shirish | too | 20:32 |
| eirehack | okay, looks like that should be autostarting then. do you have a "systray?" also, how many panels do you have on your desktop. what do they have on them | 20:33 |
| shirish | eirehack: I have 2 panels, one at the bottom and one on the top | 20:34 |
| eirehack | do either of those panels have a systray? try adding to a panel this item: "System Tray" | 20:35 |
| shirish | eirehack: lol, its right there | 20:36 |
| shirish | eirehack: I just did system tray and it has network-monitor in it :) | 20:36 |
| eirehack | ah! | 20:36 |
| eirehack | everything work out for you then? | 20:36 |
| shirish | eirehack: lol, no one more for you | 20:36 |
| eirehack | no problem. what is it? | 20:37 |
| shirish | eirehack: know anything better looking than network-monitor, that is one of the ugliest utilities I ever saw. | 20:37 |
| eirehack | haha! i havent come across others for the gnome/xfce environment. but like the network-manager-gnome, KDE's utility is supposed to work under xfce as well. perhaps it looks better. considering its a Qt program, it may look worse in xfce. give that a try? | 20:39 |

| charlie-tca | Help? I seem to have lost my Applications menu in Xubuntu 8.04.01 with all updates | 21:20 |
| wormsxulla | huh | 21:20 |
| charlie-tca | That's what I thought, too | 21:21 |
| wormsxulla | charlie-tca: you helped me with the Applications menu earlier, now you lost it? | 21:21 |
| charlie-tca | Yea, it seems to be gone | 21:21 |
| wormsxulla | how odd!! | 21:21 |
| charlie-tca | even worse thatn odd! If I didn't have this on the panel, I couldn't use it. | 21:22 |
| wormsxulla | could you have moved it to another place by accident? | 21:23 |
| charlie-tca | where? | 21:25 |
| oklinux | any one try archlinux ? | 21:27 |
| charlie-tca | Okay, I added using left click on panel, add item, XFCE menu | 21:27 |
| wormsxulla | charlie-tca: good to know :) | 21:30 |
| wormsxulla | disappearing menus are a bad thing (tm) | 21:30 |
| wormsxulla | http://www.opera.com/download/linux/ is it ok to install opera 9.60 on xubuntu 7.10 with this? | 21:31 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know. I use the Synaptic Package Manager myself | 21:34 |
| charlie-tca | Is there a .deb file? | 21:34 |
| wormsxulla | there is a other/static .DEB package (but i'm a linux illeterate, so i don't know which is best for xubuntu, the ubuntu one or the .deb one) | 21:36 |
| wormsxulla | drawback of using a non-mainstream distro :) | 21:37 |
| charlie-tca | Use the ubuntu app if there is one. Drawbacks: harder to uninstall; may not work with the distro version | 21:39 |
| charlie-tca | support only from the place you got it | 21:39 |
| wormsxulla | harder to uninstall, how so? | 21:40 |
| charlie-tca | Using the ubuntu repositories, you can do apt-get uninstall or use Synaptic to remove | 21:41 |
| charlie-tca | It won't usually work from other places | 21:41 |
| wormsxulla | well, the xubuntu repository only has opera 9.27, which is very old. and 9.60 being a snapshot, i want to be able to just replace it with a newer one when i want, without messing up synaptic | 21:43 |
| charlie-tca | does it tell you if it works on 7.10? | 21:45 |
| wormsxulla | well, i'll trust the opera guys on that. i selected the gusty version in the radio buttons thingie :) we shall see | 21:46 |
| wormsxulla | i need to repair the file:///usr/share/xubuntu-docs/desktopguide/C/index.html link | 21:49 |
| wormsxulla | File not found!!!!!! | 21:49 |
| charlie-tca | The file is there if you cd to it. To fix, you use the menueditor and change that line at help | 21:51 |
| charlie-tca | I think it is without the /C/, but I don't remember. | 21:52 |
| wormsxulla | :) thanks. good that i haven't lost the menu editor! | 21:52 |
| wormsxulla | oh... might be a case of wrong uri format, right | 21:52 |
| wormsxulla | file:///usr/share/xubuntu-docs/index.html | 21:57 |
| wormsxulla | is the right one | 21:57 |
| wormsxulla | :) | 21:57 |
| charlie-tca | that's it. | 21:57 |
| wormsxulla | ah, much better now | 21:59 |
| charlie-tca | :) | 21:59 |

| _evad_ | Hi, I have a few concerns about updates using the Fluxbox window manager. Will this environment still be able to notify me when new updates are available for my system? | 23:08 |
