[01:04] <tenang> hello
[01:05] <tenang> can anyone help me with my graphics card driver install and setting my screen resolution?
[01:42] <source> saluton
[04:15] <fyrmedic> anyone help me troubleshoot a atheros wireless networking issue?
[06:02] <szr> im using xubuntu, when i press Alt+F2 to open a directory in GUI , i get permission denied
[06:02] <szr> can someone plz help
[06:24] <nikolam> szr try to use gksu command, like gksu thunar or something
[06:24] <szr> ok
[06:24] <nikolam> it is the same like sudo command but with gui
[11:50] <taw> any idea how change what ctrl-alt-del runs?
[11:51] <taw> (running xubuntu 8.10)
[12:20] <nikolam> I have a small problem with dpkg.
[12:20] <nikolam> After one update
[12:20] <nikolam> http://paste.ubuntu.com/105072/
[12:22] <nikolam> That is Hardy 64bit with additional repositories
[12:32] <taw> dpkg -l linux-image-\*
[12:36] <nikolam> http://paste.ubuntu.com/105128/
[12:36] <nikolam> So that is it, some of repost use that kernel or something
[12:38] <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
[12:39] <nikolam> i never appied it.
[12:39] <nikolam> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[12:40] <nikolam> maybe I should disable all external repos in sources.list?
[12:41] <taw> dpkg -r linux-image-2.6.28-rc1-custom
[12:42] <taw> is that kernel from external repo?
[12:45] <nikolam> i never installed it
[12:46] <nikolam> i think so
[12:47] <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
[13:51] <Pres-Gas> Good morrow
[13:56] <taw> any idea how change what ctrl-alt-del runs? (running xubuntu 8.10)
[13:58] <ablomen> taw, /etc/event.d/control-alt-delete << in there is the app that runs when you press ctr+alt+del
[13:59] <ablomen> taw and look at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/19234
[14:06] <jarnos> taw: Just change Xfce's respective keyboard shortcut setting.
[14:07] <jarnos> taw: xflock4 is called by default.
[14:50] <tuna> hi. I have 2 sound cards. how do I set which one is the default?
[14:50] <tuna> (in a just installed clean slate installation of Xubu 8.10)
[14:51] <gabkdlly> tuna: hi
[14:51] <tuna> hi
[14:51] <SiVA_> hi
[14:51] <gabkdlly> tuna: maybe alsamixer can help you out?
[14:52] <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
[14:53] <gabkdlly> SiVA_: there should be some option to add an object
[14:54] <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
[14:55] <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
[14:56] <gabkdlly> hmmm
[14:56] <gabkdlly> alsamixer lets you choose a soundcard with the -c option, I just read that under "man alsamixer"
[14:57] <gabkdlly> I gotta go. later
[14:59] <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
[15:00] <charlie-tca> no problem.
[15:04] <jarnos> Why does Xubuntu use gnome-power-manager instead of xfce4-power-manager?
[15:12] <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
[15:15] <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.
[15:17] <charlie-tca> Did you do a restart or logout-login?
[15:18] <tuna> restart
[15:18] <tuna> logout-login would have no effect whatsoever on kernel modules
[15:29] <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.
[15:35] <charlie-tca> You´re welcome. I´m glad I could help. Good luck
[17:33] <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
[17:36] <icmp_request> (actually, fd is symlink to /proc/self/fd)
[17:38] <charlie-tca> I thought it was automatic; let me take a look
[17:39] <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
[17:43] <charlie-tca> icmp_request: is this in 8.10 intrepid?
[17:44] <cody-somerville> Install the disk mounter application? :P
[17:44] <icmp_request> yes I'm using this version
[17:44] <cody-somerville> !floppy
[17:45] <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?
[17:47] <icmp_request> I'm using livecd but I think I've got enough RAM to install it on tempfs
[17:49] <charlie-tca> looks like fdutils
[17:52] <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)
[17:55] <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?
[17:56] <charlie-tca> I consider it a bug that the floppy drive is not being seen
[17:57] <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.
[17:58] <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?
[17:59] <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
[18:00] <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] <charlie-tca> Thanks for helping
[18:01] <icmp_request> cya later :)
[18:11] <bowgart> How do I change the screen resolution to a higher res than 600x800
[18:11] <bowgart> ??
[18:11] <Pres-Gas> bowgart, what is your video card?
[18:12] <Pres-Gas> !resolution
[18:12] <bowgart> Trident Cyberblade XP Ai1
[18:14] <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
[18:15] <Pres-Gas> 1024x768 is relatively safe these days
[18:16] <bowgart> in windows I get 1024 x768 Max on ubuntu 600x800 max
[18:19] <bowgart> the display option in setting manager only displays 600x800 as amax res
[18:19] <likemindead> Hell all. Anyone have any luck setting up dial up internet access in Xubuntu?
[18:20] <likemindead> Yikes... *Hello!
[18:25] <Pres-Gas> bowgart, follow the wiki page and manually add the 1024x768
[18:25] <likemindead> bowgart: have you tried "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" ?
[18:26] <bowgart> Ok Thanks a lot :)
[18:27] <likemindead> Dial Up Modems--anyone?
[19:25] <Drakaen> i have a question about sound issues...
[19:26]  * likemindead scowls at all the lurkers here.
[19:28]  * Pres-Gas raises head from desk and wipes drool from chin.
[19:28] <Pres-Gas> Wha?
[19:28] <likemindead> Hahaha...
[19:30]  * Pres-Gas scrolls up to likemindead
[19:30] <Pres-Gas> ahhh
[19:30] <Pres-Gas> modem
[19:31] <Pres-Gas> likemindead, is your modem a winmodem?
[19:35] <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.
[19:36] <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
[19:37] <Pres-Gas> http://linmodems.org/
[19:37] <Pres-Gas> That should be a good starter for you when you get back to the machine
[19:38] <likemindead> Luckily the computer in question is an old PII beast. I found the Ubuntu wiki page with the DialUpModemHowTo and it looks promising.
[19:41] <Pres-Gas> ahhh, good
[19:42] <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.
[19:43]  * likemindead shrugs.
[19:51] <Pres-Gas> likemindead, you sure they will not like one of those internet tv thingies?  I mean, a PII?
[19:53] <likemindead> It's running Xubuntu quite well, actually. 500MHz processor and 384MB RAM.
[19:54] <likemindead> Er... 450MHz, I think.
[19:57] <Pres-Gas> hmmmm 384 is a good number
[20:02]  * likemindead is away: Fear not--I shall return! ^_^
[20:04] <Ben_Cs> wonder if xubuntu runs well on geode lx800
[20:04] <Ben_Cs> 533mhz
[20:35] <Adam_> is xubuntu a better flavor for a t43 than ubuntu?
[20:41] <charlie-tca> What are the specs on the t43?
[20:43] <Adam_> 1.83ghz centrino, 1gig ram, 60gb hddd
[20:44] <Adam_> actually, what's the terminal command to display hardware
[20:45] <charlie-tca> lshw or lspci
[20:45] <Adam_> excellent, now what's the ubuntupaste url
[20:45] <charlie-tca> !pastebin
[20:46] <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
[20:47] <Adam_> ah, i thought this might be old enough to warrant a switch
[20:48] <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 >
[20:49] <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! ^_^
[20:50] <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 ~
[20:51] <charlie-tca> yeah, that part counts
[20:52] <Adam_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/105320/
[20:53] <Adam_> I've learned a lot today, today has been a good linux day
[20:58] <charlie-tca> If you find Ubuntu a little slow, I would give Xubuntu a try. You can have both desktops installed, too
[20:59] <charlie-tca> Besides, I like the colors better with Xubuntu
[21:11] <R1cochet> !ics
[21:17] <antonehenry> hey there, looking for some help if anyone wants to give me some ideas
[21:18] <antonehenry> i'm trying to use xubuntu over a LAN.  the LAN is wired via ethernet, but there is not connection to the internet.
[21:19] <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
[21:20] <TheSheep> you can assign an ip address yourself
[21:21] <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
[21:23] <antonehenry> don't see anything for static.  but for "manual" get ip
[21:24] <TheSheep> that'd be it
[21:24] <antonehenry> thanks!
[21:25] <antonehenry> hmm... won't let me save it though
[21:26] <charlie-tca> antonehenry: Did you add a connection?
[21:27] <antonehenry> no, i'm editing eth0
[21:27] <antonehenry> need to add?
[21:28] <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
[21:29] <charlie-tca> Are you on a router?
[21:29] <antonehenry> no, it's okay though.
[21:30] <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
[21:31] <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
[21:32] <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!
[21:33] <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
[21:34] <antonehenry> think the bad guys are going to want to mess with my tv shows and movies?
[21:36] <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.
[21:37] <antonehenry> alrighty.
[21:37] <antonehenry> now i need to learn how to firewall in xubuntu
[21:40] <|ntegra|> I'm having trouble with nm(network manager),, how can I reset/flush all its info -keyring etc?
[21:41] <Pres-Gas> I would read up on ufw or firestarter, antonehenry
[21:41] <antonehenry> thank  you
[21:42] <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
[21:43] <|ntegra|> bummer I can't just gconf-editor right?
[21:44] <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
[21:45] <R1cochet> Pres-Gas: is there a way to edit the settings and have them saved as system settings?
[21:46] <|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
[21:47] <Pres-Gas> Seahorse (aka Passwords and Encryption Keys) may also have some stuff to blow away.
[21:47] <|ntegra|> i totally did
[21:49] <|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
[21:53] <jon_snow> hi Pres-Gas :) Xubuntu is now on my laptop and Huawei Internet Key it works
[21:53] <jon_snow> good
[21:56] <antonehenry> next step: buy a power supply that has sata connectors.
[21:57] <jon_snow> why?
[21:58] <antonehenry> my next step, cause the one i have in my server has none.  and i have a TB drive waiting to get used here
[21:59] <Pres-Gas> jon_snow, that is awesome, congrats!
[21:59] <jon_snow> :)
[21:59] <Pres-Gas> Gotta catch a bus
[22:15] <retour> I need help with ssh. I have 2 Xubuntu machines, both have ssh-agent running but I cant connect to them - "connection refused"!?
[22:16] <powertool08> Hello all, When I start xfce on a live cd the mouse cursor is not displayed in the same place that the mouse is actually at. How would I fix this?
[22:16] <charlie-tca> You have to configure the "to" machine with ssh-server
[22:17] <charlie-tca> powertool08: Sounds like a wireless mouse out of calibration
[22:18] <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.
[22:19] <charlie-tca> How far off is it (just curious, don't know what to do with it)?
[22:19] <retour> charlie-tca: "ssh-server command not found" should I "apt-get install ssh-server" ?
[22:19] <powertool08> charlie-tca: the cursor is about 4 inches to the left of where the click action occurs
[22:20] <charlie-tca> powertool08: glad it ain't mine! :(
[22:20] <powertool08> charlie-tca: The vertical alignment is correct though.
[22:20] <charlie-tca> retour: openssh-server
[22:21] <charlie-tca> I find it in synaptic package manager
[22:25] <retour> charlie-tca: Thx, installing right now. BTW this will be machine of LAN in my home - behind router with masquerading. Should I worry about safety?
[22:25] <alienkid> hi guys I installed pyNeighborhood but when it trys to scan my workgroup it says "failed to scan workgroup [workgroup name]" help
[22:25] <charlie-tca> retour: Is the router open to the internet?
[22:26] <charlie-tca> if it is, you might want to read up on ufw or firestarter
[22:29] <retour> charlie-tca: what do you mean open? In my config there is no DMZ - non of the computers is connected directly - all of them use 192.168.X.X network and router is Gateway and DNS server (192.168.2.1) so there is no direct connection to even DNS servers outside my LAN
[22:34] <Brack102> hey
[22:34] <Brack102> downloading openoffice.org from http://archive.us.ubuntu.com is going REALLLY slow....shouldn't it be at least kinda fast?
[22:38] <knome> Brack102, depens on where you live. you also might try another server.
[22:38] <knome> Brack102, server loads can be temporarily quite huge.
[22:38] <Brack102> ok
[22:38] <Brack102> is there a server list somewhere?
[22:40] <antonehenry> now i've got another question
[22:40] <charlie-tca> go ahead
[22:40] <knome> Brack102, archive.[countrycode].ubuntu.com i suppose. at least :)
[22:41] <Brack102> well that's what I'm using
[22:41] <antonehenry> in order to connect to the server, i need to type in a password with every restart of the computer.  also i cannot write to the folders that are shared on xubuntu.  i'd rather not have a password required so i can map network drives in windows
[22:41] <knome> Brack102, maybe try us2
[22:41] <knome> i remember that being online also..
[22:41] <Brack102> do I set this in my sources.list?
[22:42] <knome> Brack102, you should be able to change the server from synaptic also
[22:42] <Brack102> btw I'm running xubuntu on an old IBM 900 mhz PIII with 256 mb ram :)
[22:42] <Brack102> running decently well
[22:43] <Brack102> memory is deff the bottleneck
[22:43] <antonehenry> found out how to change "read only"
[22:43] <charlie-tca> antonehenry: I don't know; I don't have windows except in the wall
[22:44] <knome> Brack102, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
[22:44] <antonehenry> i'm asking how xubuntu would not require any other computer of any OS to give a password to connect
[22:51] <Brack102> it was my other computer hogging the connection :)
