| taw | any idea how change what ctrl-alt-del runs? | 11:50 |
| taw | (running xubuntu 8.10) | 11:51 |
| nikolam | I have a small problem with dpkg. | 12:20 |
| nikolam | After one update | 12:20 |
| nikolam | http://paste.ubuntu.com/105072/ | 12:20 |
| nikolam | That is Hardy 64bit with additional repositories | 12:22 |
| taw | dpkg -l linux-image-\* | 12:32 |
| nikolam | http://paste.ubuntu.com/105128/ | 12:36 |
| nikolam | So that is it, some of repost use that kernel or something | 12:36 |
| taw | try to remove that problematic kernel, and then run upgrade again? | 12:38 |
| taw | apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.28-rc1-custom | 12:38 |
| nikolam | i never appied it. | 12:39 |
| nikolam | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 12:39 |
| nikolam | maybe I should disable all external repos in sources.list? | 12:40 |
| taw | dpkg -r linux-image-2.6.28-rc1-custom | 12:41 |
| taw | is that kernel from external repo? | 12:42 |
| nikolam | i never installed it | 12:45 |
| nikolam | i think so | 12:46 |
| nikolam | dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove linux-image-2.6.28-rc1-custo which isn't installed. | 12:47 |
| nikolam | I will edit sources.list | 12:47 |
| Pres-Gas | Good morrow | 13:51 |
| taw | any idea how change what ctrl-alt-del runs? (running xubuntu 8.10) | 13:56 |

| tuna | hi. I have 2 sound cards. how do I set which one is the default? | 14:50 |

| gabkdlly | tuna: hi | 14:51 |
| tuna | hi | 14:51 |
| SiVA_ | hi | 14:51 |
| gabkdlly | tuna: maybe alsamixer can help you out? | 14:51 |
| gabkdlly | SiVA_: hi | 14:52 |
| SiVA_ | how do I add "launchers" to the upper panel? Right now there is just Firefox and Help | 14:52 |
| gabkdlly | SiVA_: right click on the panel | 14:52 |
| gabkdlly | SiVA_: a magic menu will appear that will help you on your quest | 14:52 |
| gabkdlly | SiVA_: there should be some option to add an object | 14:53 |
| gabkdlly | tuna: did you try the sound tool in the xfce settings menu? | 14:54 |
| gabkdlly | tuna: it lets you pick a sound device, might be just what you are looking for | 14:54 |
| tuna | um, how? it lets me change the settings of both of my sound devices | 14:55 |
| gabkdlly | tuna: but I can't make promises, I have never had a machine that has had more than one sound card | 14:55 |
| tuna | but having the correct device selected from it changes nothing | 14:55 |
| gabkdlly | hmmm | 14:56 |
| gabkdlly | alsamixer lets you choose a soundcard with the -c option, I just read that under "man alsamixer" | 14:56 |
| gabkdlly | I gotta go. later | 14:57 |
| charlie-tca | tuna: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems#Checking%20sound%20device%20assignment | 14:59 |
| charlie-tca | tells how to set the default card | 14:59 |
| tuna | thank you | 14:59 |
| charlie-tca | no problem. | 15:00 |
| jarnos | Why does Xubuntu use gnome-power-manager instead of xfce4-power-manager? | 15:04 |
| Myrtti | jarnos: I'd suspect it currently handles the options of what to do on certain power levels better than xfce4-power-manager, but I can't be sure | 15:12 |
| tuna | I tried based on tht guide, and managed to change the order of my sound devices. But, now I have NO default sound card. The card I want to have as default is #0, but the default box in all kinds of audio settings is blank. | 15:15 |
| charlie-tca | Did you do a restart or logout-login? | 15:17 |
| tuna | restart | 15:18 |
| tuna | logout-login would have no effect whatsoever on kernel modules | 15:18 |
| tuna | Charlie-tca: ehm. it appears that the format for that file is rather strict, and I fucked it up. Now works perfectly. Thank you. | 15:29 |
| charlie-tca | You´re welcome. I´m glad I could help. Good luck | 15:35 |
| icmp_request | Hello guys! :-) In the latest LiveCD, how is floppy identified under /dev? I've tried /dev/fd0 but it doesn't exist... /dev/fd is a symlink to ttys | 17:33 |
| icmp_request | (actually, fd is symlink to /proc/self/fd) | 17:36 |
| charlie-tca | I thought it was automatic; let me take a look | 17:38 |
| icmp_request | well, no disk on floppy was present on boot... thanks charlie :) | 17:39 |
| icmp_request | I've got nothing on /mnt neither /media, no directories | 17:39 |
| charlie-tca | icmp_request: is this in 8.10 intrepid? | 17:43 |
| cody-somerville | Install the disk mounter application? :P | 17:44 |
| icmp_request | yes I'm using this version | 17:44 |
| cody-somerville | !floppy | 17:44 |
| ubottu | To mount floppy disks, see here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MakeFloppyDriveAvailableToEveryone | 17:44 |
| icmp_request | cody-somerville, there is no /dev/fd0 that's what I mean :P | 17:45 |
| icmp_request | what's the name of the disk mounter app? | 17:45 |
| icmp_request | I'm using livecd but I think I've got enough RAM to install it on tempfs | 17:47 |
| charlie-tca | looks like fdutils | 17:49 |
| icmp_request | no success, fdmount does not recognize fd0... what the **** is happening lol | 17:52 |
| icmp_request | (it says it doesn't exist and it doesn't) | 17:52 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe time to file a bug report? If you do, let me know the number so I can confirm it. | 17:55 |
| charlie-tca | Otherwise, I'll file it when I get time | 17:55 |
| icmp_request | you mean no /dev/fd0 may be considered a bug? | 17:55 |
| charlie-tca | I consider it a bug that the floppy drive is not being seen | 17:56 |
| icmp_request | I see... you mean udev is not seeing floppy drive? | 17:57 |
| charlie-tca | I don't have an installation of intrepid with a floppy drive right now, but I will when finish testing jaunty today. | 17:57 |
| icmp_request | oh charlie, bug reports are on xubuntu website? | 17:58 |
| icmp_request | I'll send them an ls of my /dev | 17:58 |
| charlie-tca | I have not checked udev, but if I install fdutils and don´t have a visible floppy drive, that is a problem. | 17:58 |
| icmp_request | or I need to subscribe to mail list? | 17:58 |
| icmp_request | if I type "fdmount", it says: "drive fd0 does not exist" | 17:59 |
| charlie-tca | file it here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs | 17:59 |
| charlie-tca | Do you have a launchpad account? | 17:59 |
| icmp_request | nope but no problem I'll create one | 17:59 |
| charlie-tca | Okay, thanks. Let me know the bug number when you are done. | 18:00 |
| icmp_request | ok, thank you charlie! :) I have to go now but I'll be back later take care and thanks | 18:00 |

| Pres-Gas | bowgart, what is your video card? | 18:11 |
| Pres-Gas | !resolution | 18:12 |

| Pres-Gas | bowgart, the wiki page referenced by ubottu is the place to start. | 18:14 |
| Pres-Gas | Do you know what resolutions are available usually? | 18:14 |
| bowgart | I have tried looking but to no avail | 18:14 |
| Pres-Gas | 1024x768 is relatively safe these days | 18:15 |
| bowgart | in windows I get 1024 x768 Max on ubuntu 600x800 max | 18:16 |

| Drakaen | i have a question about sound issues... | 19:25 |
| * likemindead scowls at all the lurkers here. | 19:26 | |

| Pres-Gas | Wha? | 19:28 |
| likemindead | Hahaha... | 19:28 |
| * Pres-Gas scrolls up to likemindead | 19:30 | |
| Pres-Gas | ahhh | 19:30 |
| Pres-Gas | modem | 19:30 |
| Pres-Gas | likemindead, is your modem a winmodem? | 19:31 |
| likemindead | Unsure. The box in question is not near me. I was just curious as to other's experience with dial up modems in Xubuntu. | 19:35 |
| Pres-Gas | likemindead, they are not good...most of them these days are cheap ones that utilize windows to do most of the heavy lifting | 19:36 |
| Pres-Gas | http://linmodems.org/ | 19:37 |
| Pres-Gas | That should be a good starter for you when you get back to the machine | 19:37 |
| likemindead | Luckily the computer in question is an old PII beast. I found the Ubuntu wiki page with the DialUpModemHowTo and it looks promising. | 19:38 |
| Pres-Gas | ahhh, good | 19:41 |
| likemindead | Computer is for grandparents who've been using Juno (:::gag:::) for years. | 19:42 |
| likemindead | All they want is email on the cheap. | 19:42 |
| likemindead | Juno won't work in Linux, but Dial Up 4 Less will. | 19:42 |
| * likemindead shrugs. | 19:43 | |
| Pres-Gas | likemindead, you sure they will not like one of those internet tv thingies? I mean, a PII? | 19:51 |
| likemindead | It's running Xubuntu quite well, actually. 500MHz processor and 384MB RAM. | 19:53 |
| likemindead | Er... 450MHz, I think. | 19:54 |
| Pres-Gas | hmmmm 384 is a good number | 19:57 |

| Adam_ | is xubuntu a better flavor for a t43 than ubuntu? | 20:35 |
| charlie-tca | What are the specs on the t43? | 20:41 |
| Adam_ | 1.83ghz centrino, 1gig ram, 60gb hddd | 20:43 |
| Adam_ | actually, what's the terminal command to display hardware | 20:44 |
| charlie-tca | lshw or lspci | 20:45 |
| Adam_ | excellent, now what's the ubuntupaste url | 20:45 |
| charlie-tca | !pastebin | 20:45 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 20:45 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know how much difference you will see with that system. On older, slower or low-memory systems it is significant | 20:46 |
| Adam_ | ah, i thought this might be old enough to warrant a switch | 20:47 |
| charlie-tca | Can not tell you for sure. Maybe with the cpu you have it will be more responsive or faster | 20:48 |
| Adam_ | hrm if I wanted to output it to a file on a the desktop, is the command line: lspci -v > ~/Desktop/specs | 20:48 |
| Adam_ | man > | 20:48 |
| charlie-tca | lspci -v > ~/Desktop/specs , yes | 20:49 |
| likemindead | I just generally prefer Xubuntu, even on my newer (old) hardware. Play with both LiveCDs and see what you think. | 20:49 |
| * likemindead is away: Fear not--I shall return! ^_^ | 20:49 | |
| Adam_ | if the file specs doesn't exsist, how can I create it in that line? | 20:50 |
| charlie-tca | likemindead is right. I run Xubuntu on my 64-bit 2.2 with 3 gb ram | 20:50 |
| charlie-tca | What file specs? | 20:50 |
| charlie-tca | You mean to create the file itself? | 20:50 |
| Adam_ | nvm got it to work, forgot the ~ | 20:50 |
| charlie-tca | yeah, that part counts | 20:51 |
| Adam_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/105320/ | 20:52 |
| Adam_ | I've learned a lot today, today has been a good linux day | 20:53 |
| charlie-tca | If you find Ubuntu a little slow, I would give Xubuntu a try. You can have both desktops installed, too | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca | Besides, I like the colors better with Xubuntu | 20:59 |

| antonehenry | hey there, looking for some help if anyone wants to give me some ideas | 21:17 |
| antonehenry | i'm trying to use xubuntu over a LAN. the LAN is wired via ethernet, but there is not connection to the internet. | 21:18 |
| antonehenry | in windows, using ethernet would just assign the computer a local ip address. xubuntu will not assign an ip address to the server | 21:19 |
| antonehenry | hopefully someone knows the solution, or would tell me if a router would just do the trick | 21:19 |
| TheSheep | you can assign an ip address yourself | 21:20 |
| antonehenry | good idea! do you know how to do that in xubuntu? | 21:21 |
| TheSheep | right click on the network icon, select 'edit connections' and there set your interface to static ip and set the ip and mask there | 21:21 |
| antonehenry | don't see anything for static. but for "manual" get ip | 21:23 |
| TheSheep | that'd be it | 21:24 |
| antonehenry | thanks! | 21:24 |
| antonehenry | hmm... won't let me save it though | 21:25 |
| charlie-tca | antonehenry: Did you add a connection? | 21:26 |
| antonehenry | no, i'm editing eth0 | 21:27 |
| antonehenry | need to add? | 21:27 |
| charlie-tca | Change to Manual, click the add button on the right, fill in ip address, click mouse under netmask, fill in, click again under gateway, fill in | 21:28 |
| charlie-tca | then click in the white under the added entries or it goes away. then close | 21:28 |
| antonehenry | i don't know what to put in gateway | 21:28 |
| charlie-tca | Are you on a router? | 21:29 |
| antonehenry | no, it's okay though. | 21:29 |
| antonehenry | it did it for me | 21:30 |
| antonehenry | =] | 21:30 |
| antonehenry | my server now works! | 21:30 |
| charlie-tca | :-) | 21:30 |
| charlie-tca | If it goes away when you restart the computer, do it again, using add instead of edit | 21:30 |
| antonehenry | i did use add | 21:31 |
| antonehenry | after your suggestion | 21:31 |
| antonehenry | works like a charm | 21:31 |
| charlie-tca | On the first page? | 21:31 |
| antonehenry | yup | 21:31 |
| antonehenry | added another wired connection | 21:32 |
| antonehenry | eth1 | 21:32 |
| charlie-tca | Then you are in good shape | 21:32 |
| antonehenry | =] | 21:32 |
| antonehenry | you use xubuntu for server purposes? | 21:32 |
| charlie-tca | I use xubuntu for everything! | 21:32 |
| antonehenry | would it be crazy for me to use my server as just a browse the internet and word processing computer too? | 21:33 |
| charlie-tca | and my server is connected to the internet | 21:33 |
| charlie-tca | no, not crazy. But you should have a firewall | 21:33 |
| antonehenry | think the bad guys are going to want to mess with my tv shows and movies? | 21:34 |
| charlie-tca | Not really, but they don't know what is on the system. | 21:36 |
| Pres-Gas | antonehenry no, they want your machine to be a zombie and a spam spewer. | 21:36 |
| Pres-Gas | Maybe a hidden ftpd server for them, etc. | 21:36 |
| antonehenry | alrighty. | 21:37 |
| antonehenry | now i need to learn how to firewall in xubuntu | 21:37 |
| |ntegra| | I'm having trouble with nm(network manager),, how can I reset/flush all its info -keyring etc? | 21:40 |
| Pres-Gas | I would read up on ufw or firestarter, antonehenry | 21:41 |
| antonehenry | thank you | 21:41 |
| Pres-Gas | np antonehenry | 21:42 |
| * charlie-tca yeah, that's the one! braindump... | 21:42 | |
| Pres-Gas | |ntegra|, what version of xubu are you running? | 21:42 |
| |ntegra| | gutsy | 21:42 |
| |ntegra| | bummer I can't just gconf-editor right? | 21:43 |
| Pres-Gas | |ntegra|, if you right-click on the NetworkManager Icon, there should be an option to "Edit Connections...". You should be albe to dump the saved stuff from there | 21:44 |
| R1cochet | Pres-Gas: is there a way to edit the settings and have them saved as system settings? | 21:45 |
| |ntegra| | unfortunately (I've read this in !networkmanager) there is only "enable wired" "enable wireless" | 21:46 |
| R1cochet | he said to right click on it | 21:46 |
| Pres-Gas | Seahorse (aka Passwords and Encryption Keys) may also have some stuff to blow away. | 21:47 |
| |ntegra| | i totally did | 21:47 |
| |ntegra| | I figure I'll have to go command line on this (which is cool) but I can't find the info on the net just yet | 21:49 |

| powertool08 | charlie-tca: Its a corded usb mouse, the weird part is that I used the live cd a couple of weeks ago and didn't have this problem, being a live cd, it shouldn't be a configuration change, and its the same hardware. | 22:18 |
