| lee__ | Hi, I'm looking for help with youtube playback | 00:20 |
| zoredache | !flash | 00:22 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 00:22 |
| lee__ | Yip, I've updated and uninstalled and reinstalled browsers, java and flash | 00:24 |
| lee__ | How do I go to restricted or gnash? Are they channels? This is the very first time I've used IRC | 00:24 |
| TheSheep | !flash | 00:25 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 00:25 |
| TheSheep | lee__: click on one of these links | 00:25 |
| TheSheep | lee__: and read the instructions | 00:25 |
| TheSheep | zoredache: sorry, didn't read the backlog :) | 00:25 |
| lee__ | Sory to ask such basic questions, but I guess everyone has to learn sometime | 00:26 |
| lee__ | Just to be sure I've used the synaptic manager in all of my efforts. | 00:27 |
| lee__ | Why should I use the Dapper version? Is the newer version of Flash problematic/ | 00:27 |
| TheSheep | no, it's only info for dapper users | 00:28 |
| lee__ | I'm an Intrepid Ibex user. | 00:28 |
| lee__ | Everything is updated | 00:28 |
| lee__ | Thanks for helping me TheSheep | 00:29 |
| zoredache | does flash work on sites other then youtube? | 00:29 |
| zoredache | for example http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ | 00:29 |
| zoredache | are you sure javascript isn't disabled in your browser? | 00:30 |
| lee__ | The problem is with any streaming playback. | 00:31 |
| zoredache | so are you telling me that flash works on some pages, but not others? | 00:31 |
| lee__ | Here's what happens. The CPU usage jumps to 100%, video becomes choppy, panels become unresponsive while keyboard is unresponsive. | 00:32 |
| lee__ | And it works on all pages, but the videos from youtube, etc have the same problem. It is browser universal (firefox, seamonkey, etc) | 00:33 |
| lee__ | And also includes the Gecko Browser 2.24.1 | 00:33 |
| lee__ | I've poked around the forums and have found references to the CPU jump, but nothing with the keyboard and panels locking up. The weird thing is that the mouse still works. | 00:36 |
| lee__ | Oh, and I do have the ATI fgrlx (or whatever it is). I have used both the open and closed drivers. No difference. | 00:36 |
| lee__ | Gotta go, out like trout! | 00:42 |
| la_rayis | hi again | 02:16 |
| la_rayis | i'm trying to make a bootable usb stick using latest xubuntu release | 02:17 |
| la_rayis | i'm trying to follow method 0 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 02:17 |
| la_rayis | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent#Method 0: Automatically create Live USB system | 02:17 |
| la_rayis | i'm tryigng to do so by just mounting the iso file locally, without burning the cd to boot from | 02:18 |
| zoredache | and? | 02:19 |
| la_rayis | and, i don't quite understand which steps i should follow after mounting the iso | 02:19 |
| la_rayis | i didn't find "liveusb" available to install with aptitude | 02:20 |
| la_rayis | oh, i just found some debs... | 02:20 |
| la_rayis | will try with that | 02:20 |

| wormsxulla | hello | 04:57 |
| wormsxulla | is it important if i lost the network-manager which was in the bottom panel? (i actually like the fact that it's not there, because it was annoying me that it tried to connect to wifi at each boot, even though i do not use wifi) | 04:58 |
| excalibas | wormsxulla, I think there is no problem. you can always put it back if you need it. | 05:25 |
| === _G-Blunted is now known as G-Bleezy | ||
| wormsxulla | excalibas: ah, good news, thank you | 05:26 |
| wormsxulla | i apparently lost a lot of things yesterday :) | 05:26 |
| excalibas | if you right-click and chose "add new item" you can drag and drop what you want to the panel | 05:29 |
| === _G-Bleezy is now known as G-Bleezy | ||
| wormsxulla | excalibas: right, thanks :) i was just wondering whether no network-manager was a problem for (some hidden task performed by the system) | 05:42 |
| nomemory | Hello, is there a way to chnage the default editor from mousepad to something more "realistic" like scite or gedit ? | 09:06 |
| melvin_m | who can help with a wifi question? | 09:13 |
| slow-motion | hi | 10:28 |
| chewit | where do we request packages for the feature freeze | 10:29 |
| Myrtti | chewit: launchpad would be the first stop | 10:54 |

| chewit | thanks* | 10:54 |
| Salsichad2 | Where I find a intrepid's repository with xfce 4.6 RC1? | 10:58 |
| MarilynManson | what do I do to get a brand new hd to work in xubuntu? | 11:35 |
| hsultan | hej folket :) | 12:11 |
| Myrtti | moi hsultan | 12:11 |
| hsultan | precis installerat xubuntu i ren windows olusta, det var inte igår jag använde linux inte :p | 12:11 |
| hsultan | Någon som vet vart man finner de absolut bästa guiderna till XFCE? och ja jag är för lat för att googla :p | 12:13 |
| Myrtti | även nån av oss talar svenska, detta kanal är international och vi används engelska gärnast ;-) | 12:14 |

| cyzie | is there a proper procedure to switch from xubuntu to xubuntu server edition? | 14:12 |
| TheSheep | cyzie: uninstall xubuntu-desktop and then run autoremove | 14:19 |
| cyzie | waht is autoremove? | 14:20 |
| SowYongW | Hello all! I can't install xubuntu | 14:58 |
| === SowYongW is now known as sowdog | ||
| sowdog | Anyhoo, i choose install and it loads for quite a while and dumps me on to a empty gui. Is there a text install option? | 14:59 |
| TheSheep | !alternate | 15:00 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 15:00 |
| TheSheep | sowdog: but maybe check the cd for defects first | 15:00 |
| sowdog | Good idea, thank you mr sheep | 15:02 |

| scanwinder | Hi, does anyone know how to set dual monitor to extended desktop instead of mirroring? | 16:15 |
| scanwinder | seems to be missing the option in the display section in settings manager... | 16:15 |
| bn43 | hi I have loaded xubuntu on and its really slow - loaded off the intrepid cd and then loaded xubuntu-desktop - I think the problem is I selected to encrypt the home directory - does this make a difference? | 16:54 |
| Myrtti | what kind of a computer do you have? | 16:56 |
| bn43 | intel P4 2.8GHz, 256mb ram | 16:59 |
| rob79 | only 256 ram ? ^^ | 17:06 |
| bn43 | yeah | 17:07 |
| bn43 | thats why I loaded xfce | 17:08 |
| rob79 | my home encrypt is off | 17:09 |
| bn43 | yeah I selected it and would like to know how to disable it now | 17:10 |
| nrune | any xfs experts? | 17:29 |
| marc1453 | Hello, is anyone available to help me with sharing files back and forth between Windows shared drives on Xubuntu? The rest of the family uses XP, but I would like to start using Xubuntu instead. | 17:35 |
| Myrtti | !fusesmb | 17:40 |
| ubottu | fusesmb is a tool that allows easy access to shared folders (smb) on a network. Links with more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb | 17:40 |
| Myrtti | marc1453: ^ | 17:40 |
| marc1453 | Myrtti: thanks. I was looking througth the online KBs (ubuntu site, google searches...) and I found a bunch of comments about a tool that someone needs to create (Thunar?) | 17:43 |
| marc1453 | I will visit FuseSmb and see what I can do | 17:43 |
| marc1453 | Myrtti: | 17:43 |
| Myrtti | :-) | 17:43 |
| marc1453 | Myrtti: I am getting "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. " | 17:45 |
| marc1453 | is this because I am running off the live CD? | 17:45 |
| Myrtti | marc1453: to be honest, I don't know | 17:46 |
| marc1453 | Myrtti: ok, thanks. When my main PC was wiped out by a bunch of virii, I decided not to bother to reinstall Win XP, I am running of the CD to see if I can get the Windows shares to work... that has always been the show stopper every time I tried to start using *nix | 17:49 |
| marc1453 | Since my XP is trashed anyway, I will do the install and see from there. | 17:49 |
| marc1453 | Myrtti: byw, does FuseSmb allow for easy shares both ways (from the Microsoft boxes to the Xubuntu and the other way around?) | 17:50 |
| Myrtti | mmm yeah actually... fusesmb is exactly for getting xubuntu to connect to microsoft systems | 17:52 |
| marc1453 | because last time I installed a small footprint linux system on my network, I was sometimes able to mount the unix share to a windows drive letter sometimes, but I never figured out how to mount the windows share in a semi-premanent way | 17:53 |
| Myrtti | you still need samba in some form to share your files to microsoft boxes | 17:53 |
| marc1453 | cool, so I will 'do the deed'. I will instal Samba, then FuseSmb | 17:53 |
| marc1453 | I may be back... actually, seeing how I am learning this stuff as I go along... see you later and thanks again | 17:54 |
| Myrtti | np | 17:54 |
| marc1453 | Myrtti: I am looking in the synaptic package manager to see if I already have Samba installed. A search reveals screen after screen of entries that include the term Samba. Is there a way to just see if Samba is ready? | 18:00 |
| DasEi | !samba | 18:00 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 18:00 |
| DasEi | marc1453: if you just install samba via terminal, it get's autostarted. Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf for your needs, google is full of tuts | 18:01 |
| marc1453 | thanks all for the addional info. I think I already installed it.. I will check if smb.conf exists and review the tutorials | 18:07 |
| Gil_ | Hello. | 19:15 |
| Gil_ | I have a problem, the USB mouse and keyboard do not work during install and at the log-in screen to complete the installation, I assume. I used Xubuntu 8.04, and as dual boot with Windows XP Home. Any suggestions to solve the problem? | 19:18 |
| G-Bleezy | anyone know if this mobo will work with linux: ASRock A780G | 19:35 |
| Myrtti | !hardware | G-Bleezy | 19:48 |

| titan_ark | hey :) could someone give me advice related to torrent clients. "Transmission" does'nt have a time scheduling feature. Tried googling but to no avail | 20:16 |
| titan_ark | Is the only option to use utorrent on Wine? | 20:16 |
| melvin_m | anyone here who can help with wifi in ibex? | 20:18 |
| slow-motion | hi | 20:18 |
| titan_ark | anyone? | 20:25 |
| G-Bleezy | hey so I'm at my login and choose the XGL/Compiz... | 20:38 |
| G-Bleezy | i get this and it drops me back to my default: "Xsession: unsupported number of arguments (5)" | 20:39 |
| G-Bleezy | where would i fix this at? | 20:39 |
| G-Bleezy | one of my files said: /usr/bin/Xsession startxgl-xfce <--that is only one argument tho | 20:39 |
| rent0n | hi there | 20:50 |
| === FlareFlare is now known as Flare183 | ||
| titan_ark | not much activity here today :( | 20:55 |
| rent0n | not so much really | 20:55 |
| G-Bleezy | what is the xfce equivilant of: gnome-window-decorator | 20:56 |
| Gil_ | Anyone know what to do about my USB input device problems? | 20:56 |
| rent0n | all together | 20:56 |
| rent0n | It could be something like xfvm4 | 20:57 |
| rent0n | i guess =) | 20:57 |
| G-Bleezy | if i just type "xgl" in console...should something happen? | 21:06 |
| G-Bleezy | cause it just says command not found...but maybe it's supposed to say that? | 21:06 |
| G-Bleezy | does anyone know? | 21:11 |
| knome | G-Bleezy, probably that's what should happen. | 21:13 |
| Aquina | hy guyz! | 22:04 |
| G-Bleezy | !xgl | 22:53 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xgl | 22:53 |
| G-Bleezy | hey im tryin to run compiz...and i think it's workin...but is it a problem if its sayin: "Checking for Xgl: not present."? | 22:54 |
| Aquina | you need to load it as far as i know. | 22:56 |
| Aquina | check /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 22:56 |
| Aquina | there should be a line in the modules chapter loading xgl | 22:57 |
| G-Bleezy | k | 22:58 |
| G-Bleezy | says Load "glx" | 22:59 |
| G-Bleezy | whats that? | 22:59 |
| G-Bleezy | !glx | 22:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about glx | 22:59 |
| G-Bleezy | its okay ubottu...me niether :) | 23:00 |
| charlie-tca | !info glx | 23:00 |
| ubottu | Package glx does not exist in intrepid | 23:00 |
| G-Bleezy | you think if i had it load "xgl" that it would load it when i restart? | 23:01 |
| sowdog | heya, if i have my wireless usb card come out as "wlan0" in ifconfig, that means it's not set up correctly yeah? | 23:01 |
| charlie-tca | sowdog: no, it means it is not a wired card. wlan = WireLess Area Networking | 23:04 |
| charlie-tca | most wireless cards will not be eth | 23:04 |
| sowdog | charlie-tca: cool, that means its been detected correctly. Thought wlan cards would come out as ethX or something | 23:05 |
| sowdog | is there a iwconfig equivalent of ifdown? | 23:05 |
| charlie-tca | wired come up as eth?, wireless ath?, wlan? etc | 23:05 |
| charlie-tca | as far as I know, iwconfig uses the same commands | 23:06 |
| charlie-tca | Oh, and blutooth is pan?, I think | 23:07 |
| sowdog | just a little confusing, the iwconfig man docs use eth0 as the example | 23:08 |
| charlie-tca | Yeah, because eth0 could be right. wireless cards are very confusing to identify | 23:08 |
| sowdog | does xubuntu come with any gui tools for wifi? | 23:10 |
| sowdog | i mean, on a fresh install | 23:10 |
| charlie-tca | Network Manager in the tray | 23:10 |
| charlie-tca | should be a double computer in the upper right | 23:11 |
| sowdog | i should have asked that question first huh? brb | 23:13 |
| sowdoggy | it works! and here i was going to say it's a shame xubuntu doesn't come with good wireless tools | 23:19 |
| charlie-tca | :-) | 23:19 |
| sowdoggy | thanks charlie-tca | 23:19 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 23:19 |
| G-Bleezy | what is the <super> key? | 23:24 |
| charlie-tca | Windows key | 23:25 |
| G-Bleezy | o | 23:26 |
