[00:00] <TheSheep> Kudi1: you can put shortcuts to directories
[00:01] <Kudi1> TheSheep: is there a script i can put in there for recent documents ...or trash?
[00:02] <TheSheep> for trash -- yes
[00:04] <TheSheep> Kudi1: this python script will show trash when executed: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/93904/
[00:05] <Kudi1> TheSheep: thanks
[00:06] <TheSheep> Kudi1: save it to some .py file, make it executable and add a launcher to it to your menu
[00:06] <Kudi1> k
[00:09] <Kudi1> TheSheep: chmod? (to make it executable
[00:11] <Kudi1> never mind i got it thanks
[00:14] <Kudi1> if im using a desktop is the power management daemon required?
[00:16] <djbushdio> i don't think its required, but i'm not sure how to remove it...
[00:17] <TheSheep> it's in the autostarted applications
[00:17] <TheSheep> just uncheck it
[00:20] <Kudi1> ya i wasnt sure exacly what it did, thanks
[01:43] <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.
[01:44] <Odd-rationale> dnyy: yes, it will keep all your gnome apps, there will also be some xfce apps too
[01:45] <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.
[01:46] <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 »
[01:47] <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. :)
[02:11] <crazygir> hiya hiya!
[02:12] <crazygir> what's the best way to provide remote desktop access to a xubuntu system running on a remote client (connected to the same windows domain, through vpn)
[02:18] <Odd-rationale> probably vnc probably easier, nx may be better

[10:29] <PsynoKhi0> heya, I have a question regqrding power management/disk idling in hardy
[10:29] <PsynoKhi0> I've followed the instructions from the ubuntu wiki
[10:31] <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
[10:32] <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] <PsynoKhi0> (I'm on a laptop)
[10:34] <PsynoKhi0> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerManagement <- the wiki entry I was referring to
[12:36] <kimberlite> hey guys can you ppl help me with the sound?
[12:37] <kimberlite> ??
[12:37] <TheSheep> !ask

[12:38] <kimberlite> TheSheep: did you get my ques?
[12:38] <TheSheep> no
[12:39] <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
[12:40] <TheSheep> !mp3

[12:40] <TheSheep> kimberlite: ubuntu doesn't come with codecs for mp3 by default, because of legal issues
[12:41] <kimberlite> TheSheep: not the mp3s, i can't listen to videos on youtube
[12:42] <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] <TheSheep> !flash | kimberlite
[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
[12:43] <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
[12:44] <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?
[12:45] <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?
[12:46] <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
[12:47] <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 =]
[12:48] <kimberlite> vidd: that makes me feel good! anyways, how can i install codecs for playing mp3s?
[12:48]  * vidd has no idea.....
[12:49] <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

[12:50] <TheSheep> kimberlite: the second link
[12:51] <kimberlite> vidd: what is xine?
[12:52] <kimberlite> vidd: i have only listen music player that came with xubuntu
[12:53] <vidd> !gxine | kimberlite
[12:53] <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gxine
[12:53] <vidd> !xine | kimberlite
[12:53] <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
[12:54] <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
[12:55] <vidd> yes...gxine is in the repos
[12:57] <kimberlite> vidd: how can i find it in synaptic ?
[12:57] <vidd> erm...open synaptic and scroll to the "gx"'s
[12:58] <vidd> or... open terminal and type "sudo apt-get install gxine"
[13:00] <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] <kimberlite> it says it felt tofetch
[13:01] <vidd> kimberlite, i have no idea
[13:01] <vidd> i dont work with proxy's
[13:01] <vidd> =[
[13:01] <vidd> failed to fetch what?
[13:02] <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
[13:03] <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"
[13:04] <kimberlite> vidd: it says connection timed out.
[13:04] <kimberlite> anyway to access the repository via proxy?
[13:05] <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.
[13:06] <vidd> nope....that wont help =[
[13:06] <kimberlite>  why don't ppl out here help me out?
[13:07] <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
[13:08] <vidd> kimberlite, this might help you :http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1839.html
[13:09] <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?
[13:14] <vidd> kimberlite, did that help?
[13:16] <vidd> kimberlite, if not, check out http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/02/how-to-use-apt-get-behind-proxy-server-ubuntudebian.html
[13:17] <kimberlite> vidd: that didn't help
[13:17] <kimberlite> vidd: i should check this out
[13:19] <vidd> kimberlite, if your proxy has a password, read the comments for modifications to NOT store passwords in plain text
[13:19] <kimberlite> vidd: the proxy doesn't have password

[13:23] <vidd> kimberlite, "sudo mouspad /etc/bash/bash.rc
[13:23] <vidd> kimberlite, "sudo mouspad /etc/bash/bashrc
[13:23] <vidd> gggrrrr.
[13:23] <vidd> kimberlite, "sudo mouspad /etc/bash.bashrc"
[13:24] <vidd> there...thats the right command =]
[13:24] <vidd> ACK! i spelled mousepad wrong!
[13:24] <vidd> kimberlite, "sudo mousepad /etc/bash.bashrc"
=== thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak
[13:27] <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
[13:28] <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?
[13:29] <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?
[13:30] <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: i wil be back, bye

[13:45] <vidd> Kimberlite, thats not a proxy =\
[13:46] <vidd> but anywhat....
[13:46] <Kimberlite> c'mon i am in the irc with this proxy
[13:46] <Kimberlite> vidd: what it is then?
[13:46] <vidd> export http_proxy=http://10.10.10.1:80/
[13:46] <vidd> is this what you added to bash.bashrc?
[13:47] <Kimberlite> i did the same
[13:47] <Kimberlite> yes
[13:47] <vidd> can you ping 91.189.88.31 ?
[13:49] <vidd> Kimberlite, can you ping 91.189.88.31 ?
[13:49] <Kimberlite> vidd: it is stucked
[13:49] <vidd> in terminal type "ping 91.189.88.31" (ctrl+c to cancel pinging)
[13:50] <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
[13:51] <vidd> when you hit [ctrl]+[c], what does it say?
[13:51] <Kimberlite> 108 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% loss
[13:53] <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?
[13:55] <Kimberlite> i use mibbit
[13:56] <Kimberlite> otherwise irc doesn't work with chatzilla
[13:56] <Kimberlite> vidd:
[13:58] <vidd> so you are chatting in mibbit?
[13:58] <Kimberlite> vidd: yes
[13:58] <vidd> ok...that doesnt help me any =\
[13:58] <vidd> how do you look at web pages? firefox?
[13:58] <Kimberlite> vidd: yes
[13:59] <Kimberlite> vidd: i configure in the preferences of firefox
[13:59] <Kimberlite> i seems to work fine
[14:00] <vidd> and im sure it does.....but i want to know what is listed in the proxy info in the app....
[14:00] <Kimberlite> vidd: http proxy : 10.10.10.1 port: 80
[14:01] <vidd> but where is it?
[14:01] <Kimberlite> edit>preferences>network>settings
[14:02] <vidd> i found it
[14:02] <vidd> did you auto-detect or maunuall state proxy?
[14:03] <Kimberlite> vidd: manual
[14:04] <vidd> all internet traffic is run thru this proxy?
[14:05] <Kimberlite> yes.
[14:05] <Kimberlite> but ircs don't work, and not even Pidgin.
[14:05] <Kimberlite> vidd: with xp, all the programs seem to work
[14:10] <Kimberlite> anyways vidd, thanks a lot, u helped me fix my speaker!
