[00:41] <calamari> hi
[00:46] <jimmacdonald> Hey, 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?
[00:47] <juhls> No not really...
[00:48] <juhls> It is missing some gpg keys?
[00:48] <jimmacdonald> not sure.
[00:49] <jimmacdonald> I tried switching to the main repos.. lemme see if that helps.
[00:51] <juhls> You should have all the keys...
[00:57] <jimmacdonald> yeah it's not a keys thing.
[01:00] <jimmacdonald> I think it's a US mirror thing... I switched to the main, deleted the .deb's and reinstalled and that worked just fine.
[01:08] <crimsun> nah, that's symptomatic of a broken transparent proxy
[01:11] <R1cochet> is there any way to change the screenlock login screen when coming back from a screensaver
[01:11] <R1cochet> running xscreensaver
[01:21] <cody-somerville> R1cochet, use gnome-screen-saver
[01:21] <R1cochet> not as many options
[01:23] <R1cochet> and i do have gnome-screensaver on autostarted apps in order to get screenlock to work w/ xscreensaver
[01:26] <cody-somerville> What version of Xubuntu are you using?
[01:26] <R1cochet> 8.1
[01:26] <R1cochet> 8.10*
[01:28] <cody-somerville> gnome-screen-saver will be used if installed automatically
[01:31] <R1cochet> it was but i switched to xscreensaver
[01:41] <anom01y> how can I use the usb floppy drive in my computer ? I have Kubuntu installed, and I get /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device
[03:42] <djohngo> Can anyone tell me where the graphic used for the splash screen is hiding?
[03:42] <djohngo> I'd like to use it for xdm as well, instead of the debian logo.
[04:12] <Wick_> How do I get rid of the icons in my desktop? Deleting them didn't work
[04:13] <jmichaelx> as 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?
[04:14] <ball> jmichaelx: did you try adding a new one?
[04:14] <jmichaelx> ball, yes. the applet will not show up.
[04:15] <ball> jmichaelx: does your sound hardware continue to work?
[04:15] <jmichaelx> yes, from what i can tell.... let me check again
[04:16] <jmichaelx> ball: yes, sound is working fine
[04:16] <ball> jmichaelx: I'm not sure then, sorry.
[04:17] <ball> jmichaelx: out of interest, can you launch xfce4-mixer from the command line?
[04:17] <jmichaelx> i have never had this issue before. very strange
[04:17] <jmichaelx> ball: i can try
[04:18] <jmichaelx> ball: yes, xfce4-mixer works.... it is just the panel applet that doesn't work
[04:18] <ball> Is it an applet or a launcher?
[04:19] <jmichaelx> a launcher? for volume control?
[04:19]  * ball nods
[04:20] <ball> I'm not sitting at the console, so my speaker icon launches xfce4-mixer
[04:20] <ball> I don't know what the console one does.
[04:20] <jmichaelx> no, i am just speaking of the regular old volume control applet that is always used in xfce, as far as i know
[04:20] <ball> little speaker icon, top right?
[04:21] <jmichaelx> yes, 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 xfce
[04:22] <ball> If you hover over it, do you get a slider?
[04:22] <ball> (for master volume)
[04:23] <jmichaelx> ball: i am not sure what you're asking.
[04:23] <jmichaelx> there is only one volume control applet in xfce4
[04:23] <ball> ok
[04:24] <ball> If you right click on the panel and choose "Add new item"
[04:24] <ball> ...can you add xfce4-mixer?
[04:24] <ball> Oh look.
[04:24] <jmichaelx> ball: it does not give that option
[04:25] <ball> I get an "Add Items to the Panel" menu, and one of the things on that menu is "Volume Control"
[04:25] <jmichaelx> ball: ..... yes, that is what i am referring to... i think it is the only thing i could be referring to
[04:26] <jmichaelx> is the applet itself xfce4-mixer/
[04:26] <jmichaelx> ?
[04:26] <ball> I think so.
[04:26] <ball> Try it.
[04:26] <ball> So you don't have an "Add new item" option?
[04:26] <jmichaelx> ball: i have already said two or three times that that is what i have already tried
[04:26] <jmichaelx> yes, i have the add new item option
[04:27] <jmichaelx> the volume control applet, of xfce4-mixer, does not show up
[04:27] <jmichaelx> or*
[04:28] <ball> jmichaelx: dunno then.
[04:29] <jmichaelx> i 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 up
[04:29] <ball> Someone in #xfce might know.
[04:29] <jmichaelx> i'm not sure what would have suddenly caused this
[04:30] <jmichaelx> i 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?
[04:31]  * ball shrugs
[04:31] <ball> I know nothing of KDE
[04:32] <hobbsc> is there a way to get xubuntu to open links from the terminal in a new window in firefox, rather than a new tab?
[04:33] <ball> hobbsc: that's probably up to Firefox
[04:33] <ball> Check your preferences.
[04:33] <hobbsc> will do
[04:56] <ball> power cuts ftl
[06:27] <Ultraputz> just ran the alsa-info.sh script -- problem is (hopefully) simple -- cannot get a regular simple desktop mic plugged into soundcard mic jack to record, with or w/o boost.

[19:48] <ElcMawr> hi 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  :(
[19:53] <forces> ElcMawr, check ati web page
[20:02] <ElcMawr> i did; nothing there... hoped someone might know what else to try
[20:18] <forces> os[Linux 2.6.24-19-generic i686] distro[Debian lenny/sid] cpu[1 x AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3800+ (AuthenticAMD) @ 1.80GHz] mem[Physical: 438.9MB, 61.7% free] disk[Total: 1.9GB, 19.1% free] video[nVidia Corporation GeForce 6100 nForce 430] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia]
[20:18] <forces> :P
[20:24] <jdwpom> Don't suppose anyone's seen any major issues after an update, recently, have they?
[20:26] <jdwpom> Pkay, 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.
[20:28] <jdwpom> Okay,cool, fantastic.
[20:28]  * jdwpom sighs
[21:12] <cmdbbq> hello, 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] <crimsun> the alternate or the desktop image?
[21:13] <cmdbbq> desktop
[21:13] <crimsun> ok, check the MD5SUMS file at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/8.04.1/release/
[21:13] <cmdbbq> thanks
[21:14] <crimsun> and please remember to grab 8.04.1 instead of 8.04 - although 8.04.2 will be out shortly =)
[21:15] <cmdbbq> yeah, i got it from the main site so it is 9.04.1
[21:15] <cmdbbq> er 8.04.1
[21:25] <crimsun> whew, 9.04.1 =)
[21:37] <jdwpom> So, 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.
[21:38] <TheSheep> jdwpom: dmesg and /var/log/*
[21:38] <TheSheep> jdwpom: 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'
[21:39] <jdwpom> It's happening after login - will that still be in the 'non-quiet' version of things?
[21:39] <TheSheep> no
[21:40] <TheSheep> it may be in .xsession-errors in your home
[21:42] <Neff> I 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.
[21:43] <Neff> and when i try to install it i get dependency errors
[21:44] <jdwpom> excellent, cheers, sheep.  Will hunt :D
[21:44] <Neff> hrm
[21:45] <Neff> could be that it wasn't mounted
[21:50] <w00t_> hello, i hear there is a patch to get xfce desktop to have transparent background on icons...anyone know where to get that?
[21:54] <TheSheep> w00t_: not really a patch, it's just a question of your gtk style
[21:55] <TheSheep> w00t_: just add this to your .gtkrc-2.0  http://paste.pocoo.org/show/96316/
[21:57] <w00t_> okay adding it, just paste at the bottom of the file?
[22:01] <TheSheep> yeah
[22:01] <TheSheep> hen change the theme to something and back, and it should work
[22:01] <w00t_> k
[22:03] <w00t_> worked thanks
[23:28] <ElcMawr> hello again... ATI Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x graphics driver remains unconfigurable... this is so unsupported!
[23:29] <ElcMawr> no wonder some laptops end up in the bin
[23:30] <ElcMawr> rad
[23:30] <ElcMawr> too tired, can't type, making mistakes, bye
