[03:31] what is the recommeded note taking app for xubuntu? and how do you load it? [03:33] fbc, there is a notes panel applet [03:33] right click the panel and click add [03:33] and select the appropriate applet from the dialogue box [03:33] got it... thanks.. [03:51] cody-somerville: hi hi :) [03:51] cody-somerville: long time no speak [04:35] Okay, I have this little 6G drive I want to put some sstuff I downloaded on, so I can put it in my Win98SE machine and have the stuff available to Windows on that machine. I created a FAT32 partition using the entire disk space. I created a /media/PC1 directory as a mountpoint for it, but when I go into a root shell and try to mount it, using "mount -t fat32 /dev/sdc1 /media/PC1", I'm told there's no such file system as "fat32". [04:38] Anyone know what's going on there? [04:43] Okay, I have this little 6G drive I want to put some sstuff I downloaded on, so I can put it in my Win98SE machine and have the stuff available to Windows on that machine.

[04:43] (Second try.) [04:46] This is weird. I can join this channel, but #kubuntu and #ubuntu seem to be missing or empty. [04:47] Oh, there's #kubuntu. [05:32] hello [05:33] how can I use wine with root without changing it to root priviages cause in order to install portable apps with wine on my usb key I have to use root access in order to do it or I get an error [05:33] it says wine is not owned by me [05:33] I know how to change ownership [05:34] so that it is owned by root [05:34] but I do not think that is very safe to do [05:34] so you any of you guys have an idea of what I could do? [05:53] tajlero, sudo wine [05:59] that is what I do source [05:59] it tells me that I can not because it is not owned by me [06:13] tajlero, sudo su [06:13] then [06:13] wine [06:14] or [06:14] gksu wine [06:16] I Know source [06:16] I used sudo and it told me I cannot because it is not owned by me [06:16] anythings works?

In a hidden file somewhere, I guess... [10:12] Araneidae, i'm not sure. [10:13] I've got far too many . files in my root -- I've tried gnome (ubuntu), kde, and now xfce. Finding Ubuntu a bit too bloated for my taste now... can't find anything! [10:13] you mean your home? [10:14] Yes, I mean `ls -A ~` [10:14] http://www.xfce.org/documentation/4.2/ looks like a good starting place, I guess [10:17] Are there any howtos for getting rid of all the unnecessary gnome and kde residue on my system?

[14:26] !ask | simo_ [14:26] simo_: 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. :-) [14:26] sorry about that [14:27] I tried to customize my Xubuntu panel so i tried to move around my icons, the prob is that I cannot place my icons wherever I want, they all stack up on the left side one by one [14:28] I am quite a newb so please help me out [14:30] simo_, add a new "Separator or Spacing" item to panel and select "Expand" in the opening window. you can unselect "Draw Separator" if you don't want it. [14:33] simo_, after you have that, the icons can be on both sides of the separator [14:35] knome, I think its working [14:35] let me try it out some more and I'll let you know. [14:36] knome, thanx a lot man it does exactly what I was looking for [14:37] Have a great day [15:47] respect [15:47] your [15:47] inna nigga [15:47] for real [15:51] tajlero, thats not appropriate [15:59] what [15:59] how so [15:59] do you not respect ah brother cody-somerville ? [15:59] are you racist ? [15:59] is it because I am BLACK [16:06] This channel is for support tajlero [16:10] I see [16:10] you be haten the black man [16:10] tajlero, #xubuntu-offtopic for other than support discussions. [16:10] tajlero, this is nothing about your race, gender or anything. [16:39] Is there a reason that "cat cpuinfo" says my cpu is running at 1000 Mhz when it's supposed to be a 2.5 Ghz cpu? [16:42] flammenwurfer, is it a laptop? [16:42] or dual core? [16:46] it's a desktop, yes, it's a dual core amd athlon 4850e [16:46] 2.5 Ghz dual core [16:46] when I do cat cpuinfo it says both cores are 1000 Mhz [16:50] flammenwurfer, cat just prints the contents of cpuinfo. [16:51] flammenwurfer, probably has to do with something regarding its energy efficiency [16:51] yeah, that makes sense [16:51] is there any other way in xubuntu that I can see more detailed info abut my processor? [16:53] http://linuxshellaccount.blogspot.com/2008/11/getting-cpu-information-from-various.html [16:54] You might also look at the sysstat package [16:54] !sysstat [16:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about sysstat [16:54] !info sysstat [16:54] sysstat (source: sysstat): sar, iostat and mpstat - system performance tools for Linux. In component main, is optional. Version 8.1.2-2ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 177 kB, installed size 808 kB [16:57] i just installed sysinfo and it shows me some info [16:57] about the cpu and memory and mobo etc.. [16:58] So, I'm guessing it must be a setting I need to change in the BIOS [17:07] I have a very strange problem: While my PC will recognize everything from my Unreal Tournament Deluxe DVD to my burned CD of Terry Pratchett PDFs, it won't mount my Ben Folds CD. [17:07] Okay, now that I'm back online, let me try this question again. [17:08] Hmm...that's odd. [17:08] I can play my CD through the default XFCE music player, but I can't find it via Nautilus or import them via Rythmbox. [17:09] spasticteapot, maybe it has some kind of copy protection? [17:09] I noticed the question about "cat cpuspeed" or something like that, (if someone can tell me what it was, I'd apreciate it... [17:09] It says "recorded in 1996". [17:09] CD-RWs cost maybe $25. [17:10] spasticteapot, that doesn't justify anything, but ok. [17:10] Anyway, whatever it was, I tried it in a shell, and got back a response that there was no such directory as "cpu...". [17:10] knome: What do you mean "That doesn't justify anything?" [17:10] I paid for the CD, fair and square. [17:10] The help in the shell for "cat" says it's for joining files. [17:10] spasticteapot, well even if it was recorded in 1996, it doesn't mean it couldn't have a copy protection :) [17:10] So, what was this person using to find out his CPU info? [17:11] knome: Weird. [17:11] that was me [17:11] flammenwurfer: Ahh, yes, now I remember the nick. [17:11] pkodon, I have an AMD 4850e that is supposed to be 2.5 Ghz but is reporting as 1000 Mhz [17:11] pkodon: | !info sysstat [17:12] flammenwurfer: Don't those have CPU throttling?

Version 8.1.2-2ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 177 kB, installed size 808 kB [17:12] Clock speed varies with load, IIRC. [17:12] I think so, but I'm encoding a video and both cores are at 90-100% load and it's still saying 1000Mhz [17:12] charlie-tca: Thanks. [17:13] Does anyone know where Ubuntu puts CDs in the filesystem? [17:13] no problem. [17:13] /dev/Scd0? [17:13] spasticteapot: Have you looked in /media? [17:14] spasticteapot, /media/cdrom is the default place. [17:14] It's empty. [17:17] did you try mounting it manually? [17:20] !info atsar [17:20] atsar (source: atsar): system activity reporter.

[17:23] Whenever I insert a CD I can't find it in the filesystem, and Rythmbox can't find it either, but the Listen player (the default for Xubuntu) pops up and offers to play or rip it. [17:23] WTF?

[17:27] my default app for audio cds is grip ;) [17:28] nope, that only gives you options to change the default browser, mail app and terminal emulator [17:28] spasticteapot: Oops, try the Multimedia tab under removeable media in the Settings Manager. [17:30] flammenwurfer: Yeah, I went to look, then checked the removable media section. [17:30] hey, thanks pkodon, I've been wondering where those options were [17:31] flammenwurfer: Well, I just keep poking my nose around and eventually I find things. [17:31] pkodon, nose? ouch. [17:31] pkodon, and eww. ;P [17:31] knome: You know what I mean. [17:31] yeah, I usually do to, I just hadn't thought to look there yet [17:31] Rhythmbox seems to be broken. [17:32] pkodon, O;) [17:32] I use Amarok for all my music playing. I've tried many other programs but Amarok is still the only one that will let me setup my podcasts the way I want to [17:32] (rhythmbox:6907): Gtk-WARNING **: AudioCdSourcePopupCopyCd: missing action MusicAudioCDDuplicate [17:34] knome: You know, I installed this fancy set of animated emoticons in Kopete, but you just sent me two that it doesn [17:34] pkodon, aww ;> even my irssi supports those ;) [17:34] knome: Er, doesn't recognize as such. [17:35] pkodon, not animated though but... [17:36] Well, I'm going to have to find out some more about IM/IRC programs. I don't like Pidgin because it doesn't support "buzz" in IM, but Kopete seems to open every conversation in a new window, instead of a new tab in the main window. [17:37] what do you mean "buzz? [17:37] pkodon, you shouldn't. irssi is for major geeks who like text-based software ;) [17:37] flammenwurfer, wake up? prod? [17:37] ah [17:58] Hmm. I installed that sysstat package with apt-get, and now bash says there is no such command. [17:59] package doesn't necessarily install executable named $[PACKAGE_NAME] [18:00] knome: Oh. That doesn't help when it doesn't put an icon anywhere in the menus. [18:01] HELLO [18:01] JELLO [18:01] FELLO [18:01] KELLO [18:01] saluton [18:01] kiel ciuj fartas? [18:02] I wonder if Exaile will work? [18:02] no go [18:02] it will FAIL [18:02] tajlero, please, stop now. [18:02] spasticteapot, it works.

Version 8.1.2-2ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 177 kB, installed size 808 kB [18:02] spasticteapot, i don't know whether it can access the cd you're trying to. [18:03] The problem seems primarily to be with Rythmbox. [18:03] Whenever I run Rhythmbox under Ubuntu, I get this error message: Gtk-WARNING **: AudioCdSourcePopupCopyCd: missing action MusicAudioCDDuplicate [18:03] knome: I take it those three names are the actual programs (sar, iostat and mpstat)? [18:03] Apparently it's a registered bug. [18:03] pkodon, yes [18:06] knome: Hmm, sar returns: Cannot open /var/log/sysstat/sa17: No such file or directory [18:06] pkodon, you might need to run with sudo [18:07] I get the same thing. [18:07] pkodon, oh... i don't know sar/sysstat, sorry :( [18:08] knome: That's okay. :( [18:08] pkodon, maybe ask #ubuntu, because individual packages are never xubuntu-specific [18:08] anyone using xubuntu on a thinkpad x23 ? [18:10] knome: Yeah, I've noticed that, even though I have Xfce as my UI, shell-based programs are UI independend, and even the ones that use KDE/Gnome can be run in Xfce. [18:10] pkodon, that concerns also gui programs. any program in *buntu* repository can be run in xfce, kde or gnome [18:12] I had installed a desktop called openGUE or something like that, which claimed to be more efficient than Xfce, but was some combination of Gnome and Enlightenment. [18:12] openGEU, that is. [18:13] pkodon, the problem with many "light" window managers are that they miss functionality, are somewhat fuzzy if you're not familiar with them and that they can have a very small dev group (even one person) which makes the progress really slow. [18:14] pkodon, and slow progress many times get people copying code from other projects and that becomes really soon a big mess. [18:15] pkodon, not that you always should reinvent the wheel :) [18:15] pkodon, and efficiency is not (only) cpu and/or memory efficiency [18:39] Does anyone here use Rhythmbox with Xubuntu? [18:39] It worked before, and now it just stopped! [18:39] WTF? [18:52] spasticteapot, Lets avoid that acronym :) [19:11] help http://pastebin.ca/raw/1311022 [19:35] *sigh* My delicious bookmarks are getting out of hand [19:38] how do you unmout a volume with having remount again automatically? [19:52] fbc: It is probably in /etc/fstab if it mounts at boot. just comment it in fstab if it is not needed to boot [20:04] Hi there, [20:04] quick question about routing [20:05] I'm running Zoneminder (linux security camera platform) on an Intrepid 8.1 PC (xubuntu) [20:05] with two NIC cards. I have 6 "IP" security cameras, which i placed [20:05] on their own network (10.0.1.x) with its own router. [20:05] The "Front Of House" connection lives on a 192.168.1.x network [20:05] with its own router. [20:05] Currently i'm bridging the connections on the Linux PC, [20:05] by setting the secondary NIC card up with a 10.0.1.x address, [20:05] but entering 192.168.1.1 for the gateway (the only way it seems [20:05] to work). [20:05] I found that by separating the cameras from my FOH connection, [20:05] i don't run into bandwidth problems (they're greedy devils). [20:05] Pardon my ignorance, but is there a more streamlined way to [20:05] set this up? Should I include a static route on the 192.168.1.1 gateway [20:05] to the 10.0.1.x subnet? [20:05] ((the PC needs to live on the FOH network so Apache can be accessed [20:05] by other FOH machines)). [20:07] how do you unmount a volume with having remount again automatically? [20:07] I have an external drive I would like to format and I can't because it remount automatically. [20:08] ((sorry for the wrong text encoding spam)) [20:11] fbc, if it mounts automagically from fstab, you can unmount it and it will mount again on boot [20:14] paulievox, #ubuntu might be better place to ask. as this is a general linux/routing question, also other channels/forums might be helpful [20:14] knome, no it's an external drive that has no entry in fstab [20:14] fbc, so how is it automatically mounted? [20:14] ok. thanks knome [20:14] paulievox, np. sorry i'm not able to help myself. :) [20:15] paulievox, for your convenience you might post that info into forums (ubuntuforums.org for example) and just give link there [20:19] Is there no firewall enabled by default in xubuntu? running iptables -L gives all ACCEPTS [20:34] charding, correct. [21:01] what are the min mem requirments for xubuntu now [21:02] Ahmuck: i think 256 for the live CD [21:03] Ahmuck: There here: http://xubuntu.org/get ; 128MB ram, 1.5GB hard drive space [21:03] oops, looks like 128MB ram to run it [21:04] No, 192MB to run it [21:14] does it run well at 192? [21:15] Ahmuck, not really. [21:15] we have someone that wants to switch, however, i don't want to put on something that won't run as quickly as windows xp would. i've found lately that the *untu and linux in general is getting processor usage heavy [21:15] :( [21:16] i did try crunchbang ealier, but it still needs some work imho to be a user distro. very nice, and polished, but i don't want to support another user forever [21:17] Ahmuck, i think it depends on what you are running if you compare xp to xubuntu with 192 ram [21:17] Ahmuck, if the user wants to make the change, then i'd go for it. [21:18] the user is forced into the change. being the local helpful tech person, when thier xp computer went down i volunteered to assist. however, it appears it's a "pirated" copy from another helpful tech person, which i won't fix [21:19] not wanting to purchase, or buy into a new computer, the only choice left was linux [21:19] * Ahmuck loves it when i run across these situations [21:23] okay... [21:23] nm, the drive bad [22:16] How under XFCE change color depth? I only see some basic options for resolution and referesh rate [22:30] new to xubuntu. i'm trying to turn off of 'tap to click' for my synaptics touch pad. i installed gsynaptic, but i didn't see any gui afterward for configuring the touch pad. any ideas? [22:43] I just created a partition on some unused hard drive space. How can I make Xubuntu mount it? [22:44] I'm trying the manual method - editng /etc/fstab - and I'm confused as to what my UUID should be. [23:26] Hello. What is the default browser for Xubuntu 8.10? [23:26] Hi guys... I am thinking of trying xubuntu but in the download there are two i86 isos.... "Alternate" and "Desktop" witch one of these do i want for a leaptop? [23:28] hello [23:29] Nobody here imo [23:29] Do you know what the default browser of Xbuntu is? [23:29] xubuntu* [23:29] yertosaurus: do you know the diffrence between Alternate and Desktop? [23:29] no idea.. .I havn't ever used it... I am tyreyingto find out what iso to download to try it out for 1st time [23:29] not really, but I think desktop would proabably be better [23:30] idk tho... never eitehr [23:30] either* [23:30] Just doing browser research for an article [23:30] Might have to omit Xubuntu from the list [23:31] hey all. i'm very close to being able to use my file server. but i cannot get permission to copy files onto my hard drive. i'm lost [23:31] anyone know a bit about this? seems like it'd be pretty easy to do [23:32] nvm.. got it from the site... Firefox [23:32] no one seams to be in channel ant [23:32] oh, that's too bad [23:45] How do I stop a volume from remounting immediately after I right click on it and click unmount? [23:50] Look4Help: Desktop has a GUI interface and gives a chance to try Xubuntu before installing. Alternate is text interface
