| box9 | hey - nothing happens when I press prnt scrn - is this normal for xubuntu? | 07:56 |
| j1mc | box9: yeah, i think so | 08:07 |
| j1mc | box9: i don't think that key is mapped by default somehow? not sure how to do it myself, unfortunately. | 08:07 |
| box9 | mm - just had a look at gnome-screenshot and it's part of a package which isn't installed | 08:08 |
| box9 | I don't want to install it though incase the gnome components slow things down | 08:09 |
| greatcaffeine | Hello, I just installed the Xubuntu 9.04 alpha, and I can't seem to reach the desktop... After the login window, I just get a blank screen. Any ideas? | 08:37 |
| jarnos | greatcaffeine: That really seems to be alpha then :( I had similar problem with guest session with Xfce 4.6beta1, but it vanished after I changed session to Xfce in gdmsetup. | 08:46 |
| greatcaffeine | hehe, I was expecting it to be a little buggy, but I at least hoped to make it to the desktop. | 08:46 |
| greatcaffeine | Apt tells me that there's an update for xfce4-session though, so I'll see if that helps anything. | 08:48 |
| * greatcaffeine crosses his fingers | 08:48 | |

| Pres-Gas | I was installing Ubu and throwing the xfce stuff on top of it so I can refer back to gnome for helping my inlaws, but I think I will switch them to xubu when next they need an upgrade. Keeping it on Ubu 8.04 for now. | 14:45 |

| jarnos | I just segfaulted firefox in gdb (run by "firefox --debug"). What can you tell about the segfault in gdb? | 15:24 |
| jarnos | Can you get the name of the file in which segmentation fault happened? | 15:27 |
| charlie-tca | jarnos: yes, you can get the name. It is in the apport logs | 15:31 |
| jarnos | charlie-tca: /var/log/apport.log is empty. | 15:33 |
| jarnos | charlie-tca: I get some backtrace from gdb | 15:35 |
| charlie-tca | what about /var/crash | 15:35 |
| jarnos | charlie-tca: nothing there. maybe because I ran firefox inside gdb. | 15:36 |
| charlie-tca | could be. | 15:37 |
| charlie-tca | You can file a bug if you get a backtrace. Mozilla team won't work the bug without it | 15:38 |

| vinnl | MisterFlibble, you can look up the package at packages.ubuntu.com | 18:40 |

| vinnl | MisterFlibble, or right-click a package in Synaptic, click Properties and see the Dependencies tab | 18:49 |

| dvdm | how can I make a application (like firefox) stay in one workspace? | 19:21 |
| Pres-Gas | dvdm, and have it open on THAT workspace on each start/login? | 19:22 |
| dvdm | Pres-Gas: I do not mind where it is on startup... | 19:22 |
| dvdm | like firefox, when I hit hyperlink in thunderbird | 19:22 |
| vinnl | dvdm, it's not supposed to switch workspaces by itself in the first place | 19:22 |
| dvdm | then firefox is moved to the workspace that thunderbird is running in | 19:23 |
| dvdm | I want firewof to stay in workspace #2 | 19:23 |
| dvdm | vinnl: it does not "all by itself", but like the example... | 19:23 |
| vinnl | Wait, let me try to click a link in one desktop | 19:24 |
| charlie-tca | dvdm: add by hand to your ~/.config/xfce4/xfwm4/xfwm4rc file. You may have to create this file. "activate_action=none" | 19:25 |
| charlie-tca | Check the docs in /usr/share/xfce4/doc/C | 19:25 |
| vinnl | Ah. it does indeed, odd | 19:25 |
| charlie-tca | That forces the windows to quit moving | 19:26 |
| dvdm | charlie-tca: that look *exactly* like what I need... thanks | 19:28 |
| charlie-tca | no problem. | 19:29 |
| dvdm | it is actually even on the wiki! | 19:29 |
| dvdm | http://wiki.xfce.org/faq | 19:29 |
| charlie-tca | Even better :-) | 19:29 |
| charlie-tca | Good luck, gotta go | 19:29 |
| dvdm | it is clear that the search string that I used was just not the correct ones | 19:29 |
| vinnl | That happens ;-) | 19:30 |

| jon_snow | hi | 20:49 |
| jon_snow | i have a question: have Xubuntu 8.10 the same Network Manager of Ubuntu 8.10? | 20:49 |
| Pres-Gas | jon_snow, yes, it does | 20:50 |
| Pres-Gas | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager | 20:51 |
| jon_snow | Pres-Gas: sorry for my english. I want to know it because i want to install a Internet Key (model Huawei) and it in Ubuntu is possible | 20:51 |
| Pres-Gas | jon_snow, your english is fine, do not worry about that, we are all a team :) | 20:52 |
| jon_snow | :D | 20:52 |
| jon_snow | ok thanks | 20:52 |
| jon_snow | i like xfce :P and i like ubuntu | 20:53 |
| jon_snow | but i like also zenwalk (xfce distro) | 20:53 |
| Pres-Gas | jon_snow, if you see documentation for that for Ubu, it should work in Xubu the same way...now if you used Kubuntu, it uses knetworkmanager which may be a bit different. | 20:54 |
| jon_snow | ok thanks, Pres-Gas | 20:55 |
| Pres-Gas | Come back if you still have issues with the Huawei device and hopefully someone here will be able to help out. | 20:56 |
| jon_snow | yes | 20:57 |
| glennd | Hi I have a question relating to screen resolution settings can you help? | 20:57 |
| jon_snow | Pres-Gas: can you suggest me a good mirror to download Xub from torrent? | 20:57 |
| jon_snow | releases.ubuntu.com/8.10 or other? | 20:58 |
| Pres-Gas | Well, if you use the .torrent file, you can get that anywhere because it is small. Then the bittorrent protocol will download the .iso file from all over the world. So, releases.ubuntu.com would be fine for the torrent | 20:59 |
| Pres-Gas | Where you from, jon_snow? | 20:59 |
| jon_snow | italy, | 20:59 |
| jon_snow | sicily :D | 21:00 |
| Pres-Gas | There looks to be 5 mirrors in Italy if you choose to download the .iso directly. | 21:00 |
| jon_snow | yes | 21:01 |

| slow-motion | hi | 21:30 |
| bowgart | Hello I have a question regarding screen resolution settings | 21:36 |
| knome | !ask | 21:39 |
| 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. :-) | 21:39 |
| bowgart | Can you tell me how I can increase the resolution above 600x800 | 21:44 |
| knome | !resolution | 21:44 |
| ubottu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 21:44 |
| bowgart | screen resolution | 21:45 |
| knome | bowgart, maybe those links would help for beginning? | 21:45 |
| bowgart | ok | 21:45 |
| Lolek_FM | for my question is not any command? :D | 21:45 |
| jarnos | Where can you find information about installing development version of Xubuntu 9.04? | 21:45 |
| bowgart | Thx | 21:46 |
| knome | Lolek_FM, i don't know what you are trying to say? | 21:46 |
| knome | !jaunty | 21:46 |
| ubottu | Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. | 21:46 |
| knome | hmmh. | 21:46 |
| knome | jarnos, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/alpha-2/ ? | 21:47 |
| knome | jarnos, you can also select to upgrade to dev versions in synaptic | 21:48 |
| knome | jarnos, then update manager will notify you of new dev releases, like jaunty atm | 21:48 |
| Lolek_FM | knome: 1. open main menu, 2. wait around 10 seconds and menu is closed. Do you know how i disable it? :) | 21:49 |
| knome | Lolek_FM, not really. why do you need such a long time? | 21:49 |
| knome | Lolek_FM, i mean, the timer should at least reset always when you move the mouse/press arrow keys | 21:50 |
| Lolek_FM | when i can not find application :) | 21:50 |
| knome | Lolek_FM, i'm not currently running a xubuntu machine, but this sounds really weird. are you sure you haven't clicked off-menu or sth? | 21:51 |
| Lolek_FM | no, key & mouse is ignored | 21:51 |
| knome | Lolek_FM, what do you mean by ignored? | 21:52 |
| jarnos | knome: How do you select to upgrade to dev versions in Synaptic? | 21:53 |
| Lolek_FM | i may move with cursor or pres key but menu is close.. | 21:54 |
| knome | Lolek_FM, maybe ask JPohlmann once he gets here. | 21:55 |
| knome | jarnos, hard question, because i'm not running any system i can run synaptic on | 21:55 |
| Lolek_FM | knome: ok, thx | 21:56 |
| knome | jarnos, it might've also been in update-manager itself, but i doubt that. | 21:57 |
| knome | !upgrade | 21:59 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 21:59 |
| knome | jarnos, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=intrepid_upgrade2.png | 22:00 |
| knome | hmm, that doesn't show dev releases. | 22:00 |
