| rocko_ | you guys should put gthumb as default image view | 07:48 |
| rocko_ | cause the default freezes on really high resolution images | 07:49 |
| TheSheep | gthumb is way too heavy | 07:49 |
| rocko_ | it is | 07:49 |
| TheSheep | please report a bug | 07:49 |
| rocko_ | ok | 07:49 |
| trick_m0nk | Ok. I am trying to install xubuntu 8.10 on my dell optiplex. It has 2.6 ghz P4, 1 gig of ram, 60 gig hard drive. I am able to get into the boot screen with the Live CD (which has been verified for integrety), but when I tell it to install or boot to linux from the cd, it gives me a black screen with a blinking cursor. After a few minutes a loading bar comes up, and a few minutes after that, I get the command promp | 07:50 |
| knome | trick_m0nk, have you tried safe graphics mode? | 07:50 |
| trick_m0nk | yes | 07:50 |
| TheSheep | was it verified for integrity on the same computer on which you are trying to install it? | 07:51 |
| trick_m0nk | eys | 07:51 |
| taw | my xubuntu 8.10 doesn't lock on suspend & hibernate, is there some setting for making it lock? | 07:51 |
| TheSheep | taw: are you using xscreensaver instead of gnome-screensaver? | 07:52 |
| taw | default install, haven't touched | 07:52 |
| TheSheep | see if running gnome-power-manager helps... | 07:53 |
| rocko_ | taw, it should lock if you do control + alt + delete | 07:53 |
| rocko_ | is this module needed ehci-hcd in order to use usb 2? | 07:54 |
| taw | TheSheep, I ran gnome-power-manager, and after it, suspend & resume, not locked | 07:59 |
| taw | rocko_, sure I can lock, but I want my computer locked and suspended | 08:00 |
| taw | or sometimes locked & hibernate | 08:00 |
| rocko_ | I see | 08:00 |
| rocko_ | i am not sure how to do that | 08:00 |
| TheSheep | mine does it | 08:00 |
| TheSheep | no idea how | 08:00 |
| taw | which version? | 08:01 |
| TheSheep | 8.10 | 08:01 |
| taw | I've seen same problems on latest kubuntu also, but at least kubuntu 7.04 locks | 08:01 |
| taw | TheSheep, is yours fresh install or upgraded? | 08:03 |
| TheSheep | taw: well, a fresh install of one of the alphas... | 08:06 |
| TheSheep | taw: then upgrades and some hacking | 08:06 |
| ddanier | Is there any way to get the current 4.6 beta to 8.10? The xubuntu-dev-PPA, where I installes beta1 from, seems to not get any updates... | 08:08 |
| TheSheep | I suppose they are working on 9.04 | 08:08 |
| TheSheep | 4.6 is beta anyways | 08:09 |
| ddanier | beta, sure, but it still runs fine most of the time ;-) | 08:10 |
| chet | Thanks TheSheep, The conf at the url you provided did not work at first | 08:17 |
| chet | I used my ubuntu xorg.conf and changed the driver from vesa to r128 and it seems to work | 08:17 |
| chet | thanks once again | 08:17 |
| Myrtti | what's the official way to configure synaptics in xubuntu intrepid? I tried the mcs plugin, but it requires a line in otherwise nonexistent xorg.conf | 09:11 |

| jynks | hey guys,,, i was hoping you couldhelp me get my network shares working in xubuntu? | 09:21 |
| jynks | I think it is all workign sorta... but (Q) - How so you change the workgroup of your xubuntu system? | 09:22 |
| jynks | As when i look at the windows network from my XP box it says that there is a 2nd workgroup called "workgroup" and in that i can see my xubuntu box | 09:23 |
| jynks | Also ... form the xubuntu box... how do i browse to the XP shares? | 09:23 |
| jynks | Thanksin advance | 09:23 |

| ablomen | jynks, its in the samba config (/etc/samba/smb.conf) | 10:21 |
| jynks | ablomen: thanks | 10:21 |
| jynks | and how do i edit that? | 10:21 |
| ablomen | its the first option ( workgroup = WORKGROUP) | 10:22 |
| ablomen | sudo mousepad /etc/samba/smb.conf | 10:22 |
| ablomen | and when you made the change, sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 10:22 |
| jynks | ablomen: great thanks | 10:23 |
| jynks | that worked | 10:23 |
| ablomen | yw :) | 10:23 |
| jynks | ablomen: so how do i browse to the windows shares from my xbuntu system? | 10:23 |
| ablomen | ehm i think there was a program called pyneighbourhood or something | 10:25 |
| ablomen | you can also use the smbtree command to see the shares so you can mount them with cli | 10:25 |
| jynks | is there a way to mount them un the termainal? | 10:27 |
| knome | jynks, cli == terminal. see smbtree | 10:28 |
| TheSheep | smbclient to access them like ftp, fusesmb to mount them | 10:28 |
| knome | TheSheep, o/ | 10:28 |
| TheSheep | _o- | 10:29 |
| TheSheep | walk like an egyptian | 10:29 |

| jynks | ok I have installed fusesmb, how do I get a command line options help thing ? so i can mount a share? | 10:31 |
| knome | TheSheep, how is it working | 10:31 |
| ablomen | jynks, first add your user to the fuse group | 10:31 |
| TheSheep | knome: fine so far, removing the apps I don't use and installing the essentials now | 10:32 |
| jynks | ablomen: how when i type fuse it jus tsays i have a eorr as no mount point | 10:32 |
| jynks | is there ment ot be a gui for it? | 10:32 |
| ablomen | jynks, sudo adduser YOURUSERNAME fuse | 10:33 |
| TheSheep | jynks: there is gui in system->users and groups | 10:34 |
| TheSheep | you have to relog after that | 10:34 |
| jynks | reboot? | 10:34 |
| jynks | thanks for this guys i apreciate it | 10:34 |
| jynks | brb | 10:34 |

| ablomen | knome, well thats good :) | 10:36 |
| knome | yeah | 10:36 |
| knome | have to go -> | 10:36 |
| jynks | ok i am back | 10:37 |
| ablomen | jynks, ok now you should be able to do something like mount.cifs //name_or_ip_adress/sharename /media/yourmountpoint/ | 10:40 |
| ablomen | hehe i guess that isnt fuse btw, ah well, still it should work | 10:41 |

| XaeroOne | i installed xubuntu into a partition formatting it as ext3 but not able to install grub | 12:54 |
| XaeroOne | i already had pclinuxos and grub installed so when i checked the partition of pclinuxos it says the paritition is fat16 | 12:55 |
| XaeroOne | what's more strange is that from windows it says it an ext parition | 12:56 |
| XaeroOne | im using a IFS driver in windows | 12:56 |
| jynks | hi guys... would i please be able to get some help in getting fusesmb to work? | 12:58 |
| jynks | I can not seam to figure it out | 12:58 |
| armadillio | hey guys, anyone here? | 13:05 |
| ablomen | jynks, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb | 13:05 |
| armadillio | i'm just wondering - didn't NetworkManager have a gui back in the day? could i get to it now (i have nm-applet going)...? | 13:06 |
| ablomen | armadillio, you mean network-admin ? | 13:07 |
| armadillio | i'd guess they changed it then? i'll give that a try | 13:07 |
| armadillio | that command didn't work. | 13:08 |
| ablomen | (its still reachable from menu=>system=>network or something like that | 13:08 |
| armadillio | yea, i thought i'd find it there.... can't tho | 13:08 |
| armadillio | thing is, i want to manually force my ethernet connection on start up, even though it doesn't do anything until i connect wirelessly through eth1, then will hopefully be able to bridge the connections through firestarter | 13:10 |
| armadillio | that damn nm-applet screwed everything man :( | 13:11 |
| armadillio | looks like it might be gnome-network-admin, i'll install and report back | 13:13 |
| jynks | ablomen: yea i did it again.. but i have done that page a few times and all i end up with is a dir that is empty | 13:14 |
| jynks | ls -R or browsing in gui is jus tan empty dir... no error messages or anything | 13:14 |
| armadillio | see, after installing that your option came up (menu system network) ... that should be there by default :p | 13:15 |
| armadillio | seriously, network bridging should be easier in linux, damn man... | 13:18 |
| armadillio | do you guys know any way to force one connection to just be on (eth0 in my case), letting nm-applet handle the other (eth1), and making nm-applet have nothing to do with eth0? i just want to force it on, nm-applet takes everything over | 13:19 |
| ablomen | armadillio, manual-configure eth0 (/etc/networking/interfaces) | 13:20 |
| ablomen | srry /etc/network/interfaces | 13:20 |
| armadillio | will it just be on, though? how could i check? | 13:20 |
| ablomen | well at least nm wont touch it | 13:20 |
| armadillio | k | 13:21 |
| ablomen | and as long as the cable is connected and the settings are correct it should always be on | 13:21 |
| armadillio | so it's like, "auto eth0 (hit enter) manual-configure eth0"? | 13:21 |
| ablomen | armadillio, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ | 13:22 |
| jynks | ablomen: yea i still can not get it to work mate. I have copy pasted the text from the faq like about ten times.. and no joy... any ideas? | 13:24 |
| ablomen | does it throw any errors? | 13:28 |
| jynks | no | 13:29 |
| jynks | no errors.. | 13:29 |
| ablomen | what does mount say? | 13:30 |
| armadillio | god dammit seriously, nm-applet is a control freak | 13:31 |
| jynks | nothign it just gose to a new line | 13:31 |
| Myrtti | tsktsk | 13:31 |
| ablomen | jynks, no just mount | 13:31 |
| ablomen | no options | 13:31 |
| jynks | i cna acess a xubuntu share from my xp system easy though | 13:31 |
| ablomen | it gives you a list of mounted stuff | 13:31 |
| jynks | oh hang on | 13:31 |
| jynks | fusesmb on /home/jynks/network type fuse.fusesmb (rw,nosuid,nodev,max_read=32768,user=jynks) | 13:32 |
| jynks | was one of the lines in the mount list | 13:32 |
| ablomen | well then it should be mounted to something | 13:32 |
| jynks | ls -R is ment to list the network? | 13:33 |
| ablomen | -R just means recursive | 13:33 |
| jynks | or do I mount to the directly to a share name on the netweotrk (m$ style) //Xpbox/sharename ? | 13:33 |
| ablomen | well yeah you must mount the share | 13:34 |
| ablomen | not the computer | 13:34 |
| ablomen | so for example over here i mount //server/secure, //server/webserver etc seperatly | 13:34 |
| jynks | i under stand and is that difined in that "~/.smb/fusesmb.conf" file? | 13:35 |
| ablomen | uhm i think so, i use mount.cifs myself | 13:35 |
| jynks | the faw just says to "fusermount -u Network" | 13:36 |
| jynks | faq* | 13:36 |
| ablomen | yeah but you pre-defign what gets mounted on that folder in the fusesmb.conf file | 13:37 |
| ablomen | oh nvm, no im kidding | 13:38 |
| ablomen | ok lets just use mount.cifs | 13:38 |
| ablomen | first install smbfs and after that do what i said earlyer: | 13:39 |
| ablomen | <ablomen> jynks, ok now you should be able to do something like mount.cifs //name_or_ip_adress/sharename /media/yourmountpoint/ | 13:39 |
| ablomen | that should just work TM | 13:39 |
| jynks | ok | 13:40 |
| jynks | i think smbfs is already installed | 13:40 |
| ablomen | ok thats good :) | 13:41 |
| jynks | how do i use it? | 13:41 |
| ablomen | mount.cifs //ip_adress/sharename ~/Network | 13:41 |
| jynks | your benign very patient ablomen thanks btw | 13:41 |
| jynks | ok i'll try | 13:42 |
| ablomen | heh np, world domination takes time and work :P | 13:42 |
| ablomen | *effort | 13:43 |
| jynks | "mount error: can not change directory into mount target" | 13:43 |
| jynks | do i need to unmoutn the fusedmb thing on taht dir? | 13:44 |
| ablomen | oh yeah, forgot about that | 13:44 |
| jynks | i think i need to reboot.. "fusermount -u network " is eorrign now sayign it is in use | 13:45 |
| jynks | brb | 13:45 |
| ablomen | jynks, more luck this time? | 13:50 |
| jynks | narr | 13:51 |
| jynks | i made a new dir this time and tried it and got this message | 13:51 |
| jynks | Mounting the DFS root for a particular server not implemented yet | 13:51 |
| jynks | using "mount.cifs //xx.x.x.x /Archive ~/archive" | 13:52 |
| ablomen | jynks, is there a space between the ip and /Archive in your command as wel? | 13:52 |
| jynks | yes! | 13:53 |
| ablomen | well theres your problem :) | 13:53 |
| jynks | ablomen: your a great guy thank you | 13:53 |
| jynks | it seams to work | 13:53 |

| jynks | sweet | 13:54 |
| jynks | ablomen: just before i go how do i unmount them if i wish to? | 13:54 |
| ablomen | umount ~/archive should do the trick :) | 13:55 |

| fbc | does the xubuntu use the gnome power manager and the gnome screens saver??? | 17:32 |
| TheSheep | yes | 17:34 |
| TheSheep | and one qustion mark is enough | 17:34 |
| fbc | TheSheep, I did not expect xfce to use any gnome components | 18:07 |
| TheSheep | fbc: it's not xfce that's using them, it's xubuntu | 18:20 |
| fbc | TheSheep, hmm,, well when I unplug the power supply on my laptop I get a little batery indicator on the tool bar. If I right click on it, and click ABOUT, it says gnome-power-manager. So you are saying that XFCE did not install it or is running it? The distribution did? | 18:25 |
| TheSheep | fbc: you are confusing two different things: xfce and xubuntu | 18:30 |
| TheSheep | fbc: xfce is a set of programs such as window manager, panel, desktop background, etc. | 18:31 |
| TheSheep | fbc: xubuntu is a linux distribution that ships them and more | 18:31 |
| TheSheep | fbc: since xfce project doesn't include a screensaver or power manager, xubuntu uses the same programs as gnome | 18:32 |
| fbc | TheSheep, ohh.. | 18:32 |
| qsrv | hi | 18:35 |

| qsrv | for some reason when I lauch it, the icon does not appear in the systray | 18:37 |
| qsrv | and I cannot get it to show up with Super-Space | 18:37 |
| Odd-rationale | qsrv: have you tried running gnome-do from a terminal? and seeing if there are any errors? | 19:07 |
| Ochian | I'm having problems using the Lock Screen tool from the applet bar. Any ideas why it won't start? Related: gnone-screensaver won't start when system is idle. | 19:20 |
| andresmh | I am running ubuntu 8.10, if I want to run xfce, can I just install it without having to install Xubuntu? | 19:22 |
| ablomen | andresmh, yeah, just install xubuntu-desktop :) | 19:23 |
| andresmh | ablomen, i do not see xfce listed in the add/remove apps | 19:23 |
| ablomen | andresmh, try synaptic, or just type this in the terminal: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 19:25 |
| andresmh | i found it ablomen | 19:26 |
| andresmh | :) | 19:26 |
| andresmh | why does it want to install abiword? :-/ | 19:26 |
| Odd-rationale | abiword is part of xubuntu | 19:26 |
| ablomen | thats part of the xubuntu package | 19:26 |
| ablomen | andresmh, installing the whole package and removing the apps you dont need later is easyer then installing xfce by hand | 19:27 |
| charlie-tca | Ochian: Try reinstalling gnome-screensaver? | 19:27 |
| Ochian | I'll try that then. | 19:27 |
| andresmh | thanks. It's downloading all the stuff now. | 19:28 |
| ablomen | :) | 19:31 |
| Ochian | Doesn't seem to ahve worked, charlie-tca. | 19:34 |
| andresmh | somewhere i read that if i open a gnome app on xfce it defeats the point of runing xfce since it will basically load a lot of the gnome libraries | 19:38 |
| andresmh | is this true? | 19:38 |
| ablomen | andresmh, well.. sort of, though, not really | 19:39 |
| ablomen | a gnome app will be slower because it will use a lot of heavy gnome apps yeah, but still the wm/dm etc is lighter | 19:39 |
| ablomen | and its more usable imho :) | 19:40 |
| ablomen | s/gnome apps/gnome libs | 19:40 |
| ablomen | andresmh, so what i mean is, the apps themselves might not go any faster or slower, the system just stays more responsive | 19:46 |
| jxander | all my videos have this http://img505.imageshack.us/my.php?image=breakingvidzl3.jpg problem and i tried smplayer, vlc, with all the output drivers. using 8.10 with fglrx. any ideas what could cause that distorsion? | 19:47 |
| andresmh | i see, i like that ablomen, ok, so I just installed xubuntu-desktop | 19:47 |
| andresmh | i should logout and see what happens : | 19:47 |
| andresmh | brb :) | 19:47 |
| ablomen | jxander, i remember reading about the ati drivers not playing nice with (some) videos | 19:48 |
| jxander | i tried the radeon driver too... still no improvement :(... any ideas? | 19:48 |
| ablomen | next to buying a nvidia card, not really, googling atm | 19:49 |
| andresmh | so i am in xubuntu now :) | 19:49 |
| andresmh | not very different looking at first sight | 19:50 |
| jxander | ablomen: :(( i'm on a lappy... | 19:50 |
| andresmh | how do I enable compiz ? | 19:50 |
| ablomen | andresmh, by starting compiz (compiz --replace if im correct) but you might want to try the build in transperancy first to see if thats enough eyecandy for ya | 19:51 |
| ablomen | a lot lighter | 19:51 |
| ablomen | jxander, could you give some more info about your video card? (lspci | grep "vga") | 19:52 |
| jxander | ablomen: 1sec | 19:52 |
| andresmh | i'll give it a try without compiz for now ablomen, the effect from compiz I like is zoom-in/out | 19:52 |
| andresmh | is there a way to do that in xfce? | 19:53 |
| ablomen | jxander, ehm sorry that VGA in capitals | 19:53 |
| ablomen | andresmh, no not without a screen magnifier thingy | 19:53 |
| jxander | ablomen: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400 | 19:53 |
| andresmh | it's interesting that xubuntu has panels too, i wasn't expecting that :) | 19:54 |
| andresmh | how do i remove the bottom panel? | 19:54 |
| ablomen | andresmh, heh yeah it has everything except.. i think samba (windows network) browsing is the only thing iv seen missing | 19:54 |
| andresmh | right click doesn't show an menu to delete the panel | 19:55 |
| ablomen | andresmh, right-click =>customice pannel | 19:55 |
| andresmh | nice | 19:56 |
| ablomen | andresmh, hmm sorry not finding much info, you might wanna try googling yourself for "ati x1400 ubuntu" | 19:57 |
| andresmh | is there a way to reduce the height of the panel? the option. The Panel Manger>Appearance>Size just reduces the size of some icons on the panel, but no the size of the panel itself ablomen | 19:58 |
| ablomen | andresmh, it does.. | 19:58 |
| ablomen | or it should anyway, try changing it with like 20 pixels | 19:59 |
| andresmh | it's all the way to 16 pixels | 19:59 |
| andresmh | maybe i need to logout? | 19:59 |
| ablomen | i guess theres a minimum size | 19:59 |
| ablomen | no you shouldnt have to | 19:59 |
| andresmh | well it never changed | 19:59 |
| ablomen | you might be on the wrong pannel (see the select box) | 20:00 |
| andresmh | yeah, i only have 1 panel now | 20:00 |
| andresmh | it does increase its size but not decrease | 20:00 |
| charlie-tca | andresmh: It depends on the actual icons on the panel, also. Some will not reduce lower than a preset size. | 20:00 |
| charlie-tca | My orage clock will not go below 34 pixels, due to the size of the font I use. | 20:01 |
| andresmh | i see, so it must be about the font | 20:01 |
| andresmh | is there a keyboard shortcut for the xfce menu? | 20:01 |
| ablomen | andresmh, in the settings manager there is a keyboard button and in that a shortcuts tab :) | 20:03 |
| charlie-tca | andresmh: Yes, Ctrl+Esc will pop the menu up | 20:04 |
| andresmh | it's working well | 20:13 |
| ablomen | :) | 20:13 |
| andresmh | what's the keyboard shortcut to maximize and minimize a window? | 20:16 |
| charlie-tca | Alt+f5 | 20:24 |
| charlie-tca | Alt+f8 for minimize | 20:24 |
| charlie-tca | alt+f5 maximize and restore to size again. | 20:25 |
| andresmh | thanks | 20:25 |
| charlie-tca | no problem. | 20:25 |
| andresmh | how could i have found that by myself? | 20:25 |
| charlie-tca | I think it is /usr/share/xfce4/doc | 20:26 |
| charlie-tca | /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/keythemerc has it too | 20:27 |
| andresmh | the only things i miss from compiz are screen capture of a region of the screen and zoom in/out | 20:32 |
| ablomen | andresmh, you can capture a region of a screen with imagemagic, google for that :) | 20:33 |
| charlie-tca | andresmh: you can also install screen-shooter to the panel and use it to capture a full screen or window | 20:46 |
| andresmh | i'll check it out | 20:47 |
| andresmh | for some reason the keys to increase/decrease work but they do not show the indicator in the center of the screen that shows up in gnome | 20:48 |
| andresmh | on the other hand the brightness one works the same as in gnome | 20:48 |
| charlie-tca | I don't think Xubuntu uses the same apps for it that gnome uses | 20:49 |
| andresmh | i see | 20:49 |
| andresmh | it's interesting that the brightness shows the same though | 20:50 |
| andresmh | on "Sessions and Startup" I am seeing that I have "Launch Gnome services on startup" | 20:58 |
| andresmh | what does that mean and can i disable it? | 20:58 |
| andresmh | what gnome services am i running? | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca | Now I don't know that one. | 21:00 |
| andresmh | i'll post it in the xubuntu forums | 21:03 |
| slow-motion | hi | 21:34 |
| charlie-tca | hello | 21:35 |
| jynks | Hi guys.... How can I sent a terminal command to auto run each time i boot the system? | 23:08 |
| vinnl | jynks, Applications->Settings->Settings Manager, then choose Autostarted Applications | 23:08 |
| vinnl | (That will run it once you login though) | 23:08 |
| jynks | vinnl: Thanks! | 23:09 |
| jynks | Do i need to add a new one for each command or can i like load a "batch" file with a command on each line? | 23:10 |
| vinnl | You can add a shell script, I suppose | 23:10 |
| tangentcollision | shell script | 23:10 |
| tangentcollision | batch file, psh | 23:10 |
| jynks | yea ye a I am new first ever install :) | 23:10 |
| tangentcollision | silly windows switch over | 23:10 |
| vinnl | :P | 23:10 |
| jynks | :P | 23:10 |
| tangentcollision | you'll learn | 23:10 |
| tangentcollision | it's okay ;) | 23:11 |
| jynks | wat is the ext of a shell script? | 23:11 |
| vinnl | None needed, but .sh is common practice I believe | 23:12 |
| jynks | cool thanks.. so just a new command on each line? in plain text .sh placed anywhere on Hdrive? | 23:12 |
| vinnl | I thought so, yeah | 23:15 |
| jynks | ok thanks.... as a reward (in case you havn't seen) here is a joke I found while searching for info on hwo to get this install working | 23:15 |
| vinnl | If not, you might need to separate the commands with a semi-colon (I don't really do this often :P) | 23:15 |
| jynks | http://xkcd.com/149/ | 23:15 |
| vinnl | Yay, reward! :P | 23:15 |
| vinnl | Yay, xkcd! | 23:16 |
| vinnl | Ah, yeah I know that | 23:16 |
| jynks | though you would heh | 23:16 |
| vinnl | http://cli-apps.org/content/show.php?content=89734 | 23:16 |
| jynks | well its all new to me.. but thanks man | 23:16 |
| vinnl | yw | 23:16 |
| jynks | see ya | 23:18 |
