[03:31] <fbc> what is the recommeded note taking app for xubuntu? and how do you load it?
[03:33] <cody-somerville> fbc, there is a notes panel applet
[03:33] <cody-somerville> right click the panel and click add
[03:33] <cody-somerville> and select the appropriate applet from the dialogue box
[03:33] <fbc> got it... thanks..
[03:51] <maxamillion> cody-somerville: hi hi :)
[03:51] <maxamillion> cody-somerville: long time no speak
[04:35] <pkodon> 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] <pkodon> Anyone know what's going on there?

[05:32] <tajlero> hello
[05:33] <tajlero> 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] <tajlero> it says wine is not owned by me
[05:33] <tajlero> I know how to change ownership
[05:34] <tajlero> so that it is owned by root
[05:34] <tajlero> but I do not think that is very safe to do
[05:34] <tajlero> so you any of you guys have an idea of what I could do?
[05:53] <source> tajlero, sudo wine
[05:59] <tajlero> that is what I do source
[05:59] <tajlero> it tells me that I can not because it is not owned by me
[06:13] <source> tajlero, sudo su
[06:13] <source> then
[06:13] <source> wine
[06:14] <source> or
[06:14] <source> gksu wine
[06:16] <tajlero> I Know source
[06:16] <tajlero> I used sudo and it told me I cannot because it is not owned by me
[06:16] <source> anythings works?
[08:48] <|ntegra|> How can I restart my sound? I play a song in xmms (etc) and then have no sound in youtube

[09:25] <|ntegra|> well, does anyone wanna talk some?
[09:27] <knome> |ntegra|, 'sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart' might work, but this situation shouldn't happen in the first place
[09:30] <|ntegra|> knome: thanx but that didn't work
[09:31] <|ntegra|> I might have to restart x ithink, I've posted on the forums and'll wait as long as it takes

[10:08] <Araneidae> I've noticed that my xubuntu desktop has the really bad habit of restarting lots of programs that were running the last time I exited.  Can I suppress this behaviour?
[10:09] <knome> !session
[10:09] <knome> forget that.
[10:09] <knome> Araneidae, when you log out, you see a tickbox to save your session
[10:09] <knome> Araneidae, log out once with no programs running and that box selected
[10:10] <knome> Araneidae, after that, uncheck the box
[10:10] <Araneidae> Thanks, I'd never noticed that
[10:11] <Araneidae> Do you know where that information is actually stored?  In a hidden file somewhere, I guess...
[10:12] <knome> Araneidae, i'm not sure.
[10:13] <Araneidae> 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] <knome> you mean your home?
[10:14] <Araneidae> Yes, I mean `ls -A ~`
[10:14] <Araneidae> http://www.xfce.org/documentation/4.2/ looks like a good starting place, I guess
[10:17] <Araneidae> Are there any howtos for getting rid of all the unnecessary gnome and kde residue on my system?  (I started with Ubuntu, installed kde-desktop and then xfce-desktop, now I guess I'm running a hybrid xubunut!)

[14:24] <simo_> hello all, can any1 plz help me with xubuntu panel problem?
[14:26] <knome> !ask | simo_
[14:26] <simo_> sorry about that
[14:27] <simo_> 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] <simo_> I am quite a newb so please help me out
[14:30] <knome> 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] <knome> simo_, after you have that, the icons can be on both sides of the separator
[14:35] <simo_> knome, I think its working
[14:35] <simo_> let me try it out some more and I'll let you know.
[14:36] <simo_> knome, thanx a lot man it does exactly what I was looking for
[14:37] <simo_> Have a great day
[15:47] <tajlero> respect
[15:47] <tajlero> your
[15:47] <tajlero> inna nigga
[15:47] <tajlero> for real
[15:51] <cody-somerville> tajlero, thats not appropriate
[15:59] <tajlero> what
[15:59] <tajlero> how so
[15:59] <tajlero> do you not respect ah brother cody-somerville ?
[15:59] <tajlero> are you racist ?
[15:59] <tajlero> is it because I am BLACK
[16:06] <cody-somerville> This channel is for support tajlero
[16:10] <tajlero> I see
[16:10] <tajlero> you be haten the black man
[16:10] <knome> tajlero, #xubuntu-offtopic for other than support discussions.
[16:10] <knome> tajlero, this is nothing about your race, gender or anything.
[16:39] <flammenwurfer> 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] <cody-somerville> flammenwurfer, is it a laptop?
[16:42] <cody-somerville> or dual core?
[16:46] <flammenwurfer> it's a desktop, yes, it's a dual core amd athlon 4850e
[16:46] <flammenwurfer> 2.5 Ghz dual core
[16:46] <flammenwurfer> when I do cat cpuinfo it says both cores are 1000 Mhz
[16:50] <knome> flammenwurfer, cat just prints the contents of cpuinfo.
[16:51] <cody-somerville> flammenwurfer, probably has to do with something regarding its energy efficiency
[16:51] <flammenwurfer> yeah, that makes sense
[16:51] <flammenwurfer> is there any other way in xubuntu that I can see more detailed info abut my processor?
[16:53] <cody-somerville> http://linuxshellaccount.blogspot.com/2008/11/getting-cpu-information-from-various.html
[16:54] <cody-somerville> You might also look at the sysstat package
[16:54] <cody-somerville> !sysstat
[16:54] <cody-somerville> !info sysstat
[16:57] <flammenwurfer> i just installed sysinfo and it shows me some info
[16:57] <flammenwurfer> about the cpu and memory and mobo etc..
[16:58] <flammenwurfer> So, I'm guessing it must be a setting I need to change in the BIOS
[17:07] <spasticteapot> 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] <pkodon> Okay, now that I'm back online, let me try this question again.
[17:08] <spasticteapot> Hmm...that's odd.
[17:08] <spasticteapot> 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] <knome> spasticteapot, maybe it has some kind of copy protection?
[17:09] <pkodon> 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] <spasticteapot> It says "recorded in 1996".
[17:09] <spasticteapot> CD-RWs cost maybe $25.
[17:10] <knome> spasticteapot, that doesn't justify anything, but ok.
[17:10] <pkodon> 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] <spasticteapot> knome: What do you mean "That doesn't justify anything?"
[17:10] <spasticteapot> I paid for the CD, fair and square.
[17:10] <pkodon> The help in the shell for "cat" says it's for joining files.
[17:10] <knome> spasticteapot, well even if it was recorded in 1996, it doesn't mean it couldn't have a copy protection :)
[17:10] <pkodon> So, what was this person using to find out his CPU info?
[17:11] <spasticteapot> knome: Weird.
[17:11] <flammenwurfer> that was me
[17:11] <pkodon> flammenwurfer: Ahh, yes, now I remember the nick.
[17:11] <flammenwurfer> pkodon, I have an AMD 4850e that is supposed to be 2.5 Ghz but is reporting as 1000 Mhz
[17:11] <charlie-tca> pkodon: | !info sysstat
[17:12] <spasticteapot> flammenwurfer: Don't those have CPU throttling?
[17:12] <charlie-tca> !info sysstat | pkodon
[17:12] <spasticteapot> Clock speed varies with load, IIRC.
[17:12] <flammenwurfer> 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] <pkodon> charlie-tca: Thanks.
[17:13] <spasticteapot> Does anyone know where Ubuntu puts CDs in the filesystem?
[17:13] <charlie-tca> no problem.
[17:13] <flammenwurfer> /dev/Scd0?
[17:13] <pkodon> spasticteapot: Have you looked in /media?
[17:14] <knome> spasticteapot, /media/cdrom is the default place.
[17:14] <spasticteapot> It's empty.
[17:17] <flammenwurfer> did you try mounting it manually?
[17:20] <pkodon> !info atsar
[17:20] <Kiption> it's an audio cd?
[17:22] <spasticteapot> Does anyone here know anything about the Listen music player?
[17:23] <spasticteapot> 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] <spasticteapot> WTF?
[17:23] <charlie-tca> Listen is the default player in Xubuntu
[17:23] <pkodon> !info catfish
[17:24] <cody-somerville> spasticteapot, is that nice? :)
[17:26] <pkodon> spasticteapot: You can probably change which program pops up in the default programs section of the Settings Manager.
[17:27] <knome> my default app for audio cds is grip ;)
[17:28] <flammenwurfer> nope, that only gives you options to change the default browser, mail app and terminal emulator
[17:28] <pkodon> spasticteapot: Oops, try the Multimedia tab under removeable media in the Settings Manager.
[17:30] <pkodon> flammenwurfer: Yeah, I went to look, then checked the removable media section.
[17:30] <flammenwurfer> hey, thanks pkodon, I've been wondering where those options were
[17:31] <pkodon> flammenwurfer: Well, I just keep poking my nose around and eventually I find things.
[17:31] <knome> pkodon, nose? ouch.
[17:31] <knome> pkodon, and eww. ;P
[17:31] <pkodon> knome: You know what I mean.
[17:31] <flammenwurfer> yeah, I usually do to, I just hadn't thought to look there yet
[17:31] <spasticteapot> Rhythmbox seems to be broken.
[17:32] <knome> pkodon, O;)
[17:32] <flammenwurfer> 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] <spasticteapot> (rhythmbox:6907): Gtk-WARNING **: AudioCdSourcePopupCopyCd: missing action MusicAudioCDDuplicate
[17:34] <pkodon> knome: You know, I installed this fancy set of animated emoticons in Kopete, but you just sent me two that it doesn
[17:34] <knome> pkodon, aww ;> even my irssi supports those ;)
[17:34] <pkodon> knome: Er, doesn't recognize as such.
[17:35] <knome> pkodon, not animated though but...
[17:36] <pkodon> 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] <flammenwurfer> what do you mean "buzz?
[17:37] <knome> pkodon, you shouldn't. irssi is for major geeks who like text-based software ;)
[17:37] <knome> flammenwurfer, wake up? prod?
[17:37] <flammenwurfer> ah
[17:58] <pkodon> Hmm. I installed that sysstat package with apt-get, and now bash says there is no such command.
[17:59] <knome> package doesn't necessarily install executable named $[PACKAGE_NAME]
[18:00] <pkodon> knome: Oh. That doesn't help when it doesn't put an icon anywhere in the menus.

[18:02] <tajlero> no go
[18:02] <tajlero> it will FAIL
[18:02] <knome> tajlero, please, stop now.
[18:02] <knome> spasticteapot, it works.
[18:02] <pkodon> !info sysstat
[18:02] <knome> spasticteapot, i don't know whether it can access the cd you're trying to.
[18:03] <spasticteapot> The problem seems primarily to be with Rythmbox.
[18:03] <spasticteapot> Whenever I run Rhythmbox under Ubuntu, I get this error message:  Gtk-WARNING **: AudioCdSourcePopupCopyCd: missing action MusicAudioCDDuplicate
[18:03] <pkodon> knome: I take it those three names are the actual programs (sar, iostat and mpstat)?
[18:03] <spasticteapot> Apparently it's a registered bug.
[18:03] <knome> pkodon, yes
[18:06] <pkodon> knome: Hmm, sar returns: Cannot open /var/log/sysstat/sa17: No such file or directory
[18:06] <knome> pkodon, you might need to run with sudo
[18:07] <pkodon> I get the same thing.
[18:07] <knome> pkodon, oh... i don't know sar/sysstat, sorry :(
[18:08] <pkodon> knome: That's okay. :(
[18:08] <knome> pkodon, maybe ask #ubuntu, because individual packages are never xubuntu-specific
[18:08] <j4nh12r> anyone using xubuntu on a thinkpad x23 ?
[18:10] <pkodon> 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] <knome> pkodon, that concerns also gui programs. any program in *buntu* repository can be run in xfce, kde or gnome
[18:12] <pkodon> 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] <pkodon> openGEU, that is.
[18:13] <knome> 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] <knome> pkodon, and slow progress many times get people copying code from other projects and that becomes really soon a big mess.
[18:15] <knome> pkodon, not that you always should reinvent the wheel :)
[18:15] <knome> pkodon, and efficiency is not (only) cpu and/or memory efficiency
[18:39] <spasticteapot> Does anyone here use Rhythmbox with Xubuntu?
[18:39] <spasticteapot> It worked before, and now it just stopped!
[18:39] <spasticteapot> WTF?

[19:38] <fbc> how do you unmout a volume with having remount again automatically?
[19:52] <charlie-tca> 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] <paulievox> Hi there,
[20:04] <paulievox> quick question about routing
[20:05] <paulievox> I'm running Zoneminder (linux security camera platform) on an Intrepid 8.1 PC (xubuntu)
[20:05] <paulievox> with two NIC cards. I have 6 "IP" security cameras, which i placed
[20:05] <paulievox> on their own network (10.0.1.x) with its own router.
[20:05] <paulievox> The "Front Of House" connection lives on a 192.168.1.x network
[20:05] <paulievox> with its own router.
[20:05] <paulievox> Currently i'm bridging the connections on the Linux PC,
[20:05] <paulievox> by setting the secondary NIC card up with a 10.0.1.x address,
[20:05] <paulievox> but entering 192.168.1.1 for the gateway (the only way it seems
[20:05] <paulievox> to work).
[20:05] <paulievox> I found that by separating the cameras from my FOH connection,
[20:05] <paulievox> i don't run into bandwidth problems (they're greedy devils).
[20:05] <paulievox> Pardon my ignorance, but is there a more streamlined way to
[20:05] <paulievox> set this up? Should I include a static route on the 192.168.1.1 gateway
[20:05] <paulievox> to the 10.0.1.x subnet?
[20:05] <paulievox> ((the PC needs to live on the FOH network so Apache can be accessed
[20:05] <paulievox> by other FOH machines)).
[20:07] <fbc> how do you unmount a volume with having remount again automatically?
[20:07] <fbc> I have an external drive I would like to format and I can't because it remount automatically.
[20:08] <paulievox> ((sorry for the wrong text encoding spam))
[20:11] <knome> fbc, if it mounts automagically from fstab, you can unmount it and it will mount again on boot
[20:14] <knome> 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] <fbc> knome, no it's an external drive that has no entry in fstab
[20:14] <knome> fbc, so how is it automatically mounted?
[20:14] <paulievox> ok.  thanks knome
[20:14] <knome> paulievox, np. sorry i'm not able to help myself. :)
[20:15] <knome> paulievox, for your convenience you might post that info into forums (ubuntuforums.org for example) and just give link there
[20:19] <charding> Is there no firewall enabled by default in xubuntu? running iptables -L gives all ACCEPTS
[20:34] <knome> charding, correct.
[21:01] <Ahmuck> what are the min mem requirments for xubuntu now
[21:02] <gabkdlly> Ahmuck: i think 256 for the live CD
[21:03] <charlie-tca> Ahmuck: There here: http://xubuntu.org/get ; 128MB ram, 1.5GB hard drive space
[21:03] <charlie-tca> oops, looks like 128MB ram to run it
[21:04] <charlie-tca> No, 192MB to run it
[21:14] <Ahmuck> does it run well at 192?
[21:15] <knome> Ahmuck, not really.
[21:15] <Ahmuck> 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] <Ahmuck> :(
[21:16] <Ahmuck> 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] <knome> Ahmuck, i think it depends on what you are running if you compare xp to xubuntu with 192 ram
[21:17] <knome> Ahmuck, if the user wants to make the change, then i'd go for it.
[21:18] <Ahmuck> 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] <Ahmuck> 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] <knome> okay...
[21:23] <Ahmuck> nm, the drive bad
[22:16] <retour> How under XFCE change color depth? I only see some basic options for resolution and referesh rate
[22:30] <sellyoursoul> 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] <spastic_teapot> I just created a partition on some unused hard drive space. How can I make Xubuntu mount it?
[22:44] <spastic_teapot> I'm trying the manual method - editng /etc/fstab - and I'm confused as to what my UUID should be.

[23:45] <fbc> How do I stop a volume from remounting immediately after I right click on it and click unmount?
[23:50] <charlie-tca> Look4Help: Desktop has a GUI interface and gives a chance to try Xubuntu before installing. Alternate is text interface
