jimmacdonaldHey, I am trying to install xubuntu-desktop on an ubuntu install and keep getting errors and messages that it's not authenticated. can anyone help?00:46
juhlsNo not really...00:47
juhlsIt is missing some gpg keys?00:48
jimmacdonaldnot sure.00:48
jimmacdonaldI tried switching to the main repos.. lemme see if that helps.00:49
juhlsYou should have all the keys...00:51
jimmacdonaldyeah it's not a keys thing.00:57
jimmacdonaldI think it's a US mirror thing... I switched to the main, deleted the .deb's and reinstalled and that worked just fine.01:00
crimsunnah, that's symptomatic of a broken transparent proxy01:08

jmichaelxas of this evening, the volume control applet will no longer show up in my panel in xubuntu intrepid. i have tried rebooting, as well as simply killing xfce4-panel, and restarting it, but nothing i have tried has worked. any suugestions?04:13
balljmichaelx: did you try adding a new one?04:14
jmichaelxball, yes. the applet will not show up.04:14
balljmichaelx: does your sound hardware continue to work?04:15
jmichaelxyes, from what i can tell.... let me check again04:15
jmichaelxball: yes, sound is working fine04:16
balljmichaelx: I'm not sure then, sorry.04:16
balljmichaelx: out of interest, can you launch xfce4-mixer from the command line?04:17
jmichaelxi have never had this issue before. very strange04:17
jmichaelxball: i can try04:17
jmichaelxball: yes, xfce4-mixer works.... it is just the panel applet that doesn't work04:18
ballIs it an applet or a launcher?04:18
jmichaelxa launcher? for volume control?04:19
* ball nods04:19
ballI'm not sitting at the console, so my speaker icon launches xfce4-mixer04:20
ballI don't know what the console one does.04:20
jmichaelxno, i am just speaking of the regular old volume control applet that is always used in xfce, as far as i know04:20
balllittle speaker icon, top right?04:20
jmichaelxyes, if you click on it, it does launch xfce4-mixer.... but it is the only volume control applet i have ever seen anyone use in xfce04:21
ballIf you hover over it, do you get a slider?04:22
ball(for master volume)04:22
jmichaelxball: i am not sure what you're asking.04:23
jmichaelxthere is only one volume control applet in xfce404:23
ballok04:23
ballIf you right click on the panel and choose "Add new item"04:24
ball...can you add xfce4-mixer?04:24
ballOh look.04:24
jmichaelxball: it does not give that option04:24
ballI get an "Add Items to the Panel" menu, and one of the things on that menu is "Volume Control"04:25
jmichaelxball: ..... yes, that is what i am referring to... i think it is the only thing i could be referring to04:25
jmichaelxis the applet itself xfce4-mixer/04:26
jmichaelx?04:26
ballI think so.04:26
ballTry it.04:26
ballSo you don't have an "Add new item" option?04:26
jmichaelxball: i have already said two or three times that that is what i have already tried04:26
jmichaelxyes, i have the add new item option04:26
jmichaelxthe volume control applet, of xfce4-mixer, does not show up04:27
jmichaelxor*04:27
balljmichaelx: dunno then.04:28
jmichaelxi have tried killing the panel, killing the mixer.... restarting things.... rebooting.... i have used xfce for years, and am familiar with its basic workings. the problem is that it will not show up04:29
ballSomeone in #xfce might know.04:29
jmichaelxi'm not sure what would have suddenly caused this04:29
jmichaelxi might have to try there..... i also have kde4.2 beta2 on this machine, and there were a lot of kde updates yesterday.... surely there is not some kind of interference?04:30
* ball shrugs04:31
ballI know nothing of KDE04:31
hobbscis there a way to get xubuntu to open links from the terminal in a new window in firefox, rather than a new tab?04:32
ballhobbsc: that's probably up to Firefox04:33
ballCheck your preferences.04:33
hobbscwill do04:33

ElcMawrhi there. does a linux graphics driver exist for an ATI Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x chipset please? got a laptop with tiny screen size, so i guess we're not talking to the graphics chip properly. Available resolutions are only 800.600 / 640.480  :(19:48
forcesElcMawr, check ati web page19:53
ElcMawri did; nothing there... hoped someone might know what else to try20:02

jdwpomDon't suppose anyone's seen any major issues after an update, recently, have they?20:24
jdwpomPkay, so, just me then.  Anyone willing to give me a quick list of what runs during startup?  We're looking at the 'just after you've logged in' section of things, just after it attempts to display a desktop.20:26
jdwpomOkay,cool, fantastic.20:28

cmdbbqhello, i am getting ready to install xubuntu 8.04, but i did a disk check on the cd i burned and it had errors, before i burn another i want to check the ISO file, where can I gat an md5sum for the x86 image?21:12
crimsunthe alternate or the desktop image?21:12
cmdbbqdesktop21:13
crimsunok, check the MD5SUMS file at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/8.04.1/release/21:13
cmdbbqthanks21:13
crimsunand please remember to grab 8.04.1 instead of 8.04 - although 8.04.2 will be out shortly =)21:14
cmdbbqyeah, i got it from the main site so it is 9.04.121:15
cmdbbqer 8.04.121:15
crimsunwhew, 9.04.1 =)21:25
jdwpomSo, being kind of new to linux in general, is there anything available that can show me exactly what's happening at startup? Something' killing my system at boot, and, well, I'd like to know what.21:37
TheSheepjdwpom: dmesg and /var/log/*21:38
TheSheepjdwpom: you can also press 'esc' at boot, select your linux, press 'e', select the kernel line, select 'e' again and remove the 'quiet' from it, then press 'b'21:38
jdwpomIt's happening after login - will that still be in the 'non-quiet' version of things?21:39
TheSheepno21:39
TheSheepit may be in .xsession-errors in your home21:40
NeffI get an error when i opten Synaptic that says E: The package conexant needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. E: Intermal error opening cache (1). Please report.21:42

Neffcould be that it wasn't mounted21:45
w00t_hello, i hear there is a patch to get xfce desktop to have transparent background on icons...anyone know where to get that?21:50
TheSheepw00t_: not really a patch, it's just a question of your gtk style21:54
TheSheepw00t_: just add this to your .gtkrc-2.0  http://paste.pocoo.org/show/96316/21:55
w00t_okay adding it, just paste at the bottom of the file?21:57
TheSheepyeah22:01
