j1mcTheSheep: howdy :)02:36
cmannsHey guys does xubuntu use xfce 4.6?02:38
j1mccmanns: xubuntu 9.04 will use xfce 4.602:38
cmannsah02:39
j1mcit will be out at the end of april02:39
cmannsso xubuntu is just ubuntu + xfce?02:39
cmannsI've never used any of the ubuntus :P02:39
j1mcyes, the ubuntu core operating system, with the xfce desktop environment02:39
cmannsah02:40
j1mcwhat has sparked your interest in xfce/xubuntu?02:40
prontocmanns: i know you from some where o.o02:40
cmannsprobably pronto02:41
cmannsj1mc, only desktop manager i use is xfce02:41
cmannsNever tried ubuntu's but I thought hell if xubuntu is on 4.6 may as well02:42
prontocmanns: mind if i pm you?02:45
cmannsgof or it02:45
Moodcmanns: xubuntu does not have all the packages that ubuntu has (including xfce). some things that are not included by default: apache, mysql, php, samba, etc02:46

ubottuTo install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash02:50
j1mcMood: what do you mean?  xubuntu and ubuntu use the exact same repositories.  if you can install something on ubuntu, you can also install it on xubuntu.02:50
Moodjlmc: i meant "out of the box"02:50
j1mcwell, the desktop version of ubuntu doesn't include apache and mysql out of the box, either.  :)02:51
Moodj1mc: man, you're second char "1" confused the heck out of me... thought it was an "ell", lol02:51
j1mc:)02:51
brandonban6I've installed the latest flash.so from adobe and i"ve installed gnash, but no go when it comes to flash videos on the web. Just shows a black screen. :( Any thoughts?02:52

prontoso when i log into xubuntu, i get this error message, and then xfce crashes http://pastebin.ca/136400403:22
prontoi've tried reinstalling xfce already03:22
cody-somervillepronto, rm ~/.config/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc03:29
cody-somervilleYour configuration file is causing xfce4-session to segfault it looks like03:29
prontono luck :(03:34
prontoo.o03:42
prontoi fixed it03:42
prontoi removed everything under /ext/xdg/autostart03:42
cody-somervilleSo /etc/xdg/autostart/eeepc-statusicon.desktop must have been the problem03:45
prontonot sure, because before i just was like "f--- it" and removed them all, i tried to just remove that one03:46

Puppet_Masterimpossible to read a CDROM05:21
forcesPuppet_Master, try to burn again05:22
Puppet_Masterforces, burn ?05:23
Puppet_MasterI just can't read any CD05:23
Puppet_MasterOriginal or burned05:23
forcesPuppet_Master, did you configure your bios?05:27
Puppet_MasterI have just made the test this morning05:27
Puppet_MasterI don't look anything in bios05:28
Puppet_Masterit works fine before whith liveUSB kubuntu an M$ WXp05:28
Puppet_Masterand*05:28
Puppet_MasterI take a look05:31
forcesif the problem is the disc05:32
forcesburn it again05:32
Puppet_Masterthe disc works fine in other PC05:34
Puppet_Masterand in this one when I boot on Windows or LiveUSB05:34
Puppet_Masterhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/132849/05:45
Puppet_Masteris this talks to anybody ?05:46
zoredacheperhaps your cdrom has failed05:47
Puppet_Masteronly on one computer05:50
Puppet_Masterwith xubuntu05:50
Puppet_Masterit works on the same computer under windows (damned)05:51
forcesthat doesn't mean that your cdrom it's ok05:57
zoredacheI mean the actualy cdrom-drive has failed.  If the disk is good, then your drive may be bad06:03
Puppet_Masterno sure it works on 4 PCs, that means my CD is bad ...06:04
Puppet_Masterbut the drive works fine with LiveUSB and Windows06:04
Puppet_Masterand it reads DVD fine with this xubuntu06:04
Puppet_Masterit don't read any CDROM06:05
zoredacheif it doesn't read any disk, that sounds like a drive failure...06:05
Puppet_Masterno it don't read any "CDROM" only with the installed xubuntu06:06
Puppet_Masterit works fine wiht liveUSB kubuntu and windows06:07
Puppet_Masterwith*06:07
SlorProbably more an X server question than specifically xubunu, but...07:13
SlorIf I replace an OLD ATI card with a not-as-old nVidia card in my xubuntu box and power it up, is X smart enough to pick up the type of new card and load appropriate video server and all?07:14
SlorI'm no expert on the innerworkings of xfree8607:14
Sloror xorg, I guess is what it is now?07:15
TheSheepit will use the free nv driver07:17
TheSheepyou will have to use the system->hardware drivers  menu to install proprietary nvidia driver if you want acceleration support07:17
SlorI'm ok with whatever ubuntu provides out of the box, as long as I won't have issues with x trying to start up and not knowing how to handle the new video card and get proper resolution and all that.07:20
TheSheepin the worst case it will ask you to reconfigure X07:21
TheSheepwith a dialog box with a 'reconfigure x' button07:21
SlorI'll check out the proprietary driver install, though - thanks.07:21
SlorI expect that's similar to the install process for certain wireless cards in laptops.07:22
_Pete_!vnc10:03
ubottuVNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX10:03
landhas anyone tried Mono-2.2_OpenSUSE-11.0?13:55
jimisrvroxhey guys I got this wusb54gcsv2 that I tried to ndis the win drivers for it and no dice tried the -a to assign it and still no dice. I also have a v1 of the same nic that does work on my boxes and tried the v1 set of drivers and still nothing. Anybody have any luck with these nics? Cant find much of anything on the net on it either.15:07

brandonban6anyone running a 8600 GT card?15:38
TheSheepGeForce 8600M GT15:40
TheSheepbrandonban6: macbook pro?15:40
brandonban6nah, an old dell. I'm updating the card and was curious what drivers the Nvidia has out (i'm using an old ATI Radeon XR300 right now)....It looks like the latest version Nvidia has released is 177. So I was curious if anyone using that platform, and if so, how well was it running.15:42
uberNoobhowdy folks, can someone tell me how to set panel transparency in xfce?15:57
TheSheepuberNoob: in settings-> window manager settings->compositor enabled compositing16:02
TheSheepuberNoob: then right-click on the panel, select preferences, and move the new shiny 'transparency' slider16:02
uberNoobTheSheep: duh; yeah, I'm used to gnome so for me this xfce is new. I have to say, my 5 year old machine loves it. Thank you.16:04
uberNoobTheSheep: how about changing the transparency of the panels?16:05
TheSheep17:02 < TheSheep> uberNoob: then right-click on the panel, select preferences,  and move the new shiny 'transparency' slider16:06
uberNoob TheSheep: thank you16:08
TheSheepbrandonban6: it runs well16:28
poopuse1hi can someone explain me this : i just installed xubuntu 8.04 loged in as a user clicked at updates and then os asks me to enter root password...and i am thinking "i don't remeber setting one" so i enter user password and everything works.user pass = admin pass?i am confused16:37
knomepoopuse1, the first set user is marked as administratotr.16:39
geniipoopuse1: *buntu uses sudo which comes back to the user's password16:39
knomepoopuse1, that means he has sudo rights. everytime it asks for roto password, just enter yours.16:39
poopuse1thank you gentleman.16:39
poopuse1bye16:41
jimisrvroxhey guys I got this wusb54gcsv2 that I tried to ndis the win drivers for it and no dice tried the -a to assign it and still no dice.

Cant find much of anything on the net on it either.17:46
poopuserhi again.sound problem : i got two sound cards - one is integrated and 2nd is some type of soundblaster.how can i determinate without looking into case model of 2nd card define it as only one that should be used and run 5.1 speakers?thx in advance18:03
brandonban6does anyone know of an equivalent to Belarc Advisor for linux?19:02
TheSheepbrandonban6: we have no idea what that is19:03
TheSheepbrandonban6: maybe you could be a little more descriptive...19:03
vinnlThe website says "personal PC audit"19:03
vinnlSounds like a typical Windows app :P19:03
brandonban6TheSheep, it is a pc audit tool for windows. It list everything out from hardware, to software license keys.19:03
TheSheepbrandonban6: dpkg -l19:04
TheSheepbrandonban6: and lshw19:04
brandonban6lol @ vinnl , actually I need it because i have a machine that won't boot into windows, so I am on it with a live cd trying to capture the CS3 license :(19:04
vinnlHaha19:04
TheSheepbrandonban6: ah, so you want a linux software that would scan *windows* for licenses?19:05
vinnlNo I don't suppose you'll be able to do that with an application, though perhaps you can find where Adobe stores the key19:05
brandonban6TheSheep,  yes, that is a much better way to phrase my question. I need something like magic jelly bean or belarc to run from live linux on a windows fs, and pull licenses19:06
brandonban6good thought TheSheep19:06
brandonban6sorry, i meant vinnl19:07
vinnl:)19:07
TheSheepbrandonban6: maybe you could run those windows programs with wine...19:07
TheSheepbut it's probably pretty hopeless19:07
brandonban6meh, hopeless just translates to significant challenge for the everyday geek.19:08
TheSheepsure, just reverse-engineer how Adobe did this, and you're home19:09
vinnlThat's the spirt :)19:09
brandonban6I like the wine idea though, I'm using backtrack's live cd which comes with wine pre-configured.19:09
brandonban6lol......thanks.19:09
TheSheepbrandonban6: you will probably have to tell those programs to check the system on disk, not wine, somehow19:09
TheSheepby hopeless I meant "might be not worth the effort"19:10
vinnlTheSheep, if BelArc can retrieve the license key then he'll probably be able to as well :)19:11
gorgutHey folks, I'm trying to follow the wiki entry to enable PulseAudio and apprently it's written for gnome. What is the XFCE equivalent to "System -> Preferences -> Sound and make sure that Enable Software Sound Mixing is checked. Also, under the Sounds Tab, I set devices to Autodetect."19:13
gorgutAlso, apparently, my Pulseaudio server is not running. /etc/init.d/pulseaudio start doesn't seem to work19:16
Slorhey folks - got another heardware upgrade question for ya....19:19
SlorIf I add move my hard drives from the built-in (SLOW) IDE controller to an add-on Ultra speed card, will the system still be able to boot/mount properly when I turn it back on?19:20
SlorAnd perhaps I need to disable the first IDE controller in the system bios as well...19:21
TheSheepSlor: you might need to change the root= kernel option at boot19:22
TheSheepSlor: press esc when butting, select your kernel in the menu, press 'e' to edit the entry...19:23
Slorcool.  then I can change it in grub config once I find the right one.19:23
TheSheepyes19:23
Slorother volumes should mount according to their labels?19:23
gorgutbbl19:24
TheSheepSlor: aah, right, actually all volumes should mount according to UUIDs19:29
TheSheepSlor: so it should just work (tm)19:29
Sloreven for root?19:30
TheSheepyes19:30
SlorI'm planning to shoot for a "just-work" combo video and ide controller upgrade tonight. :)19:30
Slorthanks19:30
brandonban6okay, how about this instead. Anyone have an idea how to edit a windows registry from Linux? (**looking at using ultimate bootloader)19:48
sinboxin xubuntu 8.04 when I do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" it only asks a couple of questions about my keyboard then exits and I end up with crappy screen resolutions on ly available, any reason for that?19:48
TheSheepsinbox: xorg.conf is now empty19:49
TheSheepsinbox: it autodetects everything instead19:49
sinboxit obviously doesn't for me :)19:49
sinboxjust to be sure I have a prehistoric "3D RAGE PRO" display adapter19:50
sinboxnone of the threads I found in the forums actually had a fix for that, and I don't have a spare PCI slot to put in a decent graphic card , this is the onboard video chi[19:50
SlorSomeone in here the other day told me support has been dropped for that card.19:51
sinboxcan I still edit xorg.conf manually and force it's use?19:51
SlorI have one myself, which is why I remember. :)19:51
sinboxthanks for the good news19:51
sinbox:'(19:51
Slorlemme see if I hav ethe specifics in my log here.19:51
Slorsinbox: http://paste.ubuntu.com/133192/19:54
sinboxI'll take a peek thanks Slor19:54
sinboxthat forced autodetection and not getting the details you need is a bit annoying really, wouldn't be a problem if I had a spare PCI slot but I don't19:57
sinboxmight have to downgrade the machine to 7.10 :/19:57
SlorI'm still running 7.04 on my machine with that card, and it works fine.19:58
TheSheeplook into /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what it is detecting19:58
TheSheepsinbox: yes, you can force graphics settings with xorg.conf19:59
TheSheepat lest for now19:59
TheSheepleast19:59
SlonkieHow do i turn on hidden files temp. in a folder?20:00
dj_bushidoare you talking about thunar?20:03
TheSheepSlonkie: ctrl+h20:03
dj_bushidoif so, in the View menu, there is a checkbox for "show hidden items"20:03
SlonkieThank you TheSheep.20:03
sinboxtha is what I've been trying TheSheep reverting to the last "good" config now, and I'll set it manually as ever or make a script of sorts to run it on boot20:03
TheSheepsinbox: you don't have to run it on boot20:04
TheSheepsinbox: xubuntu won't modify it20:05
Slonkieanyone keen on thunderbird? I'd like to get my outlook 2007 emails imported into it, anyone know howto?20:05
alienkidHi guys trying to get compiz and emerald set up on Xubuntu, but running into a problem with the shade button(probably stick button too but not that far yet) that in the theme I am trying to make all the buttons sould be on the same row but emerald seems to think that buttons like shade should be pushed up a little bit so here's my question:20:06
alienkidHow come with emerald as the decorator the shade button is ALWAYS not in line(it's pushed up a little) with the rest of the buttons(I think stick is too)? How do I fix it?(without recompiling)20:06
alienkidI have tried asking in #compiz-fusion but no one replied.20:07
sinboxSlonkie not sure, have you tried installing thunderbird on the machine where outlook 2007 is to see if it lets you import them there, then copy that profile over20:12
gorgutlo folks20:13
sinboxTheSheep, xubuntu actually gets the screen res OK but I often boot into fluxbox and that gets it wrong so I have to adjust it with xrandr, guess I can just add a line in the fluxbox startup file to do that20:14
alienkidAnyone?20:24
alienkidno one eh. Well bye.20:30
sinbox/var/log/Xorg.0.log sure makes for mind numbing reading, it seems to load 2 modules from /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers, not sure which I would have to set if make a forced xorg.conf now, or maybe just leave the device section alone and just adjust the monitor and screen section, that should do it20:34
jarnosHow do you configure "gvfs-open ftp://hostname" open by e.g. Thunar?21:51
jarnos..instead of firefox.21:51
