| Kudi1 | ya i wasnt sure exacly what it did, thanks | 00:20 |
| dnyy | I'm thinking about installing xfce, because of the age of my laptop. My question is, when I log into an xfce session, will it have all my apps and such from my gnome session? Also, does it install any extra apps? | 01:43 |
| dnyy | It's a pretty silly question, but I couldn't find a good answer on google. | 01:43 |
| Odd-rationale | dnyy: yes, it will keep all your gnome apps, there will also be some xfce apps too | 01:44 |
| Odd-rationale | if you install xubuntu-desktop, that is | 01:45 |
| dnyy | I'm guessing that's what I'm going to install, whatever gets me the xubuntu DE as I heard it runs good on older computers. | 01:45 |
| Odd-rationale | some apps may serve the same purpose, like gedit (gnome) and mousepad (xfce) | 01:46 |
| dnyy | ah, but it's better to have the native one, i'm guessing? | 01:46 |
| Odd-rationale | yeah... | 01:46 |
| Odd-rationale | if you decide to remove the gnome stuff, and just have xfce then... | 01:46 |
| Odd-rationale | !purexfce | 01:46 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 01:46 |
| dnyy | Another dumb question, when switching between sessions, it saves all my configs right? | 01:47 |
| Odd-rationale | yeah. | 01:47 |
| dnyy | alright, thank ya. :) | 01:47 |

| PsynoKhi0 | I've followed the instructions from the ubuntu wiki | 10:29 |
| PsynoKhi0 | the weird thing is that if I switch from battery to AC after logging in, the hdparm value returned by sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda is correct (192 vs 128 on battery), but the hard drive still clicks | 10:31 |
| PsynoKhi0 | also the battery panel applet disappears instead of showing the "on AC power" icon | 10:32 |
| PsynoKhi0 | I have to reboot to get the correct behaviour | 10:32 |

| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 12:37 |
| kimberlite | TheSheep: did you get my ques? | 12:38 |
| TheSheep | no | 12:38 |
| TheSheep | kimberlite: ask on the channel | 12:39 |
| kimberlite | TheSheep: See, I am new to xubuntu, even linux, I have installed xubuntu now, but don't know why I can't listen to music | 12:39 |

| magic_ninja | i'm doing a net install froma usb drive, i have gotten the installer to work fine but its not detecting my usb cable modem, any ideas on getting the usb cable modem detected so i can use dhcp to get the network | 12:42 |

| ubottu | kimberlite: 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 | 12:42 |
| TheSheep | magic_ninja: I think the installer has an option to load additional modules at some point | 12:43 |
| TheSheep | magic_ninja: you can tell it to load the firmware for your modem there | 12:43 |
| magic_ninja | it doesn't give that option | 12:43 |
| TheSheep | magic_ninja: right after 'detecting network hardware' | 12:44 |
| kimberlite | TheSheep: C'mon I have successfully installed flash player by adding plugin to firefox. Video play but I can't hear anything, I can't hear anything from my speaker | 12:44 |
| vidd | magic_ninja, what are you trying to load a modual for? | 12:44 |
| vidd | kimberlite, open your volume manager and max out PCM | 12:45 |
| magic_ninja | i use a usb cable modem | 12:45 |
| magic_ninja | i need the net install done over this modem | 12:45 |
| kimberlite | vidd: where is the volume manager? | 12:45 |
| TheSheep | kimberlite: the whistle icon on your panel | 12:46 |
| vidd | kimberlite, it is the speaker icon on your task bar | 12:46 |
| vidd | (depending on the icon theme, apparently) | 12:46 |
| kimberlite | vidd: I am new to linux, I am sorry. Thanks vidd | 12:46 |
| kimberlite | vidd: it worked. I am so stupid | 12:47 |
| TheSheep | no need to be sorry | 12:47 |
| vidd | kimberlite, we were all "new to linux: at one time or another | 12:47 |
| vidd | kimberlite, it took me a while to figure that out myself =] | 12:47 |
| kimberlite | vidd: that makes me feel good! anyways, how can i install codecs for playing mp3s? | 12:48 |
| * vidd has no idea..... | 12:48 | |
| vidd | i use gxine for all my media | 12:49 |
| TheSheep | kimberlite: follow these instructions | 12:49 |
| vidd | and "libxine1-ffmpeg" pretty much adds all the codecs i need | 12:49 |
| TheSheep | !mp3 | kimberlite | 12:49 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xine | 12:53 |
| gnomefreak | !find xine | 12:53 |
| ubottu | Found: amarok-engine-xine, libxcb-xinerama0, libxcb-xinerama0-dbg, libxcb-xinerama0-dev, libxine-dev (and 35 others) | 12:53 |
| vidd | gxine is a multi-media player | 12:53 |
| kimberlite | vidd: can i install it from the synaptic package manager? | 12:54 |
| vidd | it works with the xine audio/video back-end | 12:54 |
| vidd | listen and totem are media players with the gstreamer audeo/video backend | 12:54 |
| vidd | yes...gxine is in the repos | 12:55 |
| kimberlite | vidd: how can i find it in synaptic ? | 12:57 |
| vidd | erm...open synaptic and scroll to the "gx"'s | 12:57 |
| vidd | or... open terminal and type "sudo apt-get install gxine" | 12:58 |
| kimberlite | vidd: I am using proxy to connect to the internet, does the terminal works that way and download, coz it has been showing 0% only | 13:00 |

| vidd | failed to fetch what? | 13:01 |
| kimberlite | vidd: failed to fetch archive, unable to resolve np.archive.ubuntu.com... | 13:02 |
| kimberlite | vidd: it may be becoz i am using proxy | 13:02 |
| kimberlite | vidd: but i can connect to internet that way only. any way out? its a http proxy | 13:03 |
| vidd | type "nslookup np.archive.ubuntu.com" | 13:03 |

| kimberlite | anyway to access the repository via proxy? | 13:04 |
| vidd | yes there is....but i do not know how to set it up | 13:05 |
| vidd | as i said....i dont work with proxies | 13:05 |
| vidd | !proxy | 13:05 |
| ubottu | Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR and web (Java, etc) gateways due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks. If you're using mibbit, please try joining #ubuntu again. Mibbit takes a long time to connect, so you may have missed a message to do this. | 13:05 |
| vidd | nope....that wont help =[ | 13:06 |
| kimberlite | why don't ppl out here help me out? | 13:06 |
| vidd | most ppl that do not know an answer just say nothing and wait for someone that has the answer to speak.... | 13:07 |
| vidd | this way they can learn as well | 13:07 |
| vidd | kimberlite, this might help you :http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1839.html | 13:08 |
| vidd | kimberlite, as i said...i have never used proxies...so i dont know if this will or will not help....please let me know how it works out? | 13:09 |
| vidd | kimberlite, did that help? | 13:14 |
| vidd | kimberlite, if not, check out http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/02/how-to-use-apt-get-behind-proxy-server-ubuntudebian.html | 13:16 |

| vidd | kimberlite, if your proxy has a password, read the comments for modifications to NOT store passwords in plain text | 13:19 |

| vidd | ACK! i spelled mousepad wrong! | 13:24 |
| vidd | kimberlite, "sudo mousepad /etc/bash.bashrc" | 13:24 |
| === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak | ||
| vidd | kimberlite, i believe you may need to relaunch your /etc/bash.bashrc once your finished editing it | 13:27 |
| kimberlite | vidd:i opened it, added the code and saved it and closed it | 13:27 |
| vidd | kimberlite, you need to reload your /etc/bash.bashrc | 13:28 |
| kimberlite | vidd: how to? | 13:28 |
| vidd | does "sudo /etc/bash.bashrc" do anything? | 13:28 |
| vidd | then reboot | 13:29 |
| vidd | kimberlite, the only way i know is to reboot | 13:29 |
| kimberlite | vidd: no, so i have to reboot? | 13:29 |
| vidd | kimberlite, while im sure there IS a way to do this without a reboot, i do not know it off the top of my head | 13:30 |
| vidd | and you will be back up before i could locate non-reboot method =] | 13:30 |
| kimberlite | vidd: no, so i have to reboot? | 13:30 |

| Kimberlite | vidd: it is stucked | 13:49 |
| vidd | in terminal type "ping 91.189.88.31" (ctrl+c to cancel pinging) | 13:49 |
| Kimberlite | PING failed it seems | 13:50 |
| vidd | when you say it is stuck....is it continually pinging? or is it not showing anything? | 13:50 |
| Kimberlite | coz it said 100% packet loss | 13:50 |
| Kimberlite | it is not showing anything | 13:50 |
| vidd | when you hit [ctrl]+[c], what does it say? | 13:51 |
| Kimberlite | 108 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% loss | 13:51 |
| vidd | Kimberlite, im at a loss | 13:53 |
| * vidd has no other ideas | 13:53 | |
| vidd | what did you do to set up your proxy in chat? | 13:53 |
| Kimberlite | i use mibbit | 13:55 |
| Kimberlite | otherwise irc doesn't work with chatzilla | 13:56 |
| Kimberlite | vidd: | 13:56 |
| vidd | so you are chatting in mibbit? | 13:58 |
| Kimberlite | vidd: yes | 13:58 |

| CBebop | Hello, I am using Xubuntu 8.10 with compiz-fusion, and when I boot up the taskbars, panels whatever you want to call them come up fine but do not update say when i open a window or connect to a wireless netowrk. I know they are loading there as i can click where programs | 23:23 |
| CBebop | "Should" be but it wont show unless i resize the bar, or change it in some way where it has to reload. | 23:23 |
| CBebop | After i resize/whatever, it works fine from then on out, just kind of an annoyance i Have to do it when i boot. | 23:24 |
| CBebop | Any solutions or thoughts? | 23:24 |
