[00:11] knome, i fixed it [00:11] now [00:12] XUBUNTU IS DAMN GOOD :) [00:12] hi there, having a problem here [00:13] once the jaunty was released, theres a delay before all the program start [00:13] the system is responsive in general [00:13] but for some reason I have to wait for like 15 seconds before even small programs appear [00:13] looks like a rant, anybodyhere? [00:14] :( [00:14] ok next time [00:14] demon_, knome's gone be [00:14] bed * [00:27] knome, are ya here [00:27] :) [00:28] still the same problem i need to sudo pon dsl-provider every time i log in how can i fix this [01:04] Anyone know if there's a setting for XFCE to disable GTK panel icons? [01:04] In OpenOffice in XFCE, none of my icons are showing up, just tekt [01:08] * SiDi doesn't know, sorry. [01:09] No problem. I just coudve sworn there was a menu somewhere for it [01:12] I downloaded and extracted a Theme. do I just need to drop the folder into the user/share/themes folder to make it show on the prefences > themes list? [01:14] Yen, or more easily, you can throw it into .themes in your home folder [01:14] yes* [01:14] Make sure to unzip it of course [01:14] right right [01:15] what if I don't have a .themes folder in my home folder? [01:15] mykevelli, create it [01:15] mkdir .themes [01:15] ok :) i didnt want to assume it was that easy [01:15] ;) [01:16] same for .fonts, .icons, btw ;p [01:16] awesome it worked [01:17] out of curiosity, I wasn't able to move the theme i downloaded to usr/share/themes (i didnt have an optino to paste) can you think of why? [01:17] You don't have proper premissions [01:17] permissions [01:17] You can always sudo ... to get it in there though [01:17] ok excellent [01:18] anyone know of a firefox alternative for xubuntu [01:18] ?? [01:18] i kinda figured it would prompt for an admin pswd if i didnt have permissions [01:18] its eating up my computer [01:18] thanks for the help\ though [01:18] psychic, epiphany, konqueror [01:18] which is the lighter? [01:18] i'm finding a proliferation of .folders in my home dir. is there some kind of file system standard for xubuntu that apps are following or is it haphazard [01:18] epiphany runs great actually [01:18] keb, it's nomal. [01:19] It allows each user to have their own app settings [01:19] u upgrade to 9.04..? [01:19] lynx and elinks are pretty light too [01:19] yes but shouldnt some of these be inside a .gtk or .gnome folder [01:19] porter1 do u know a terminal comman to it?get [01:19] You can always press Ctrl+h to make them go away if you don't want to see them [01:19] get it* [01:20] sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser [01:21] UIt's *technically* the default browser fr Gnome [01:21] But Firefox trompped through and kind of knocked it of it's pedastal [01:21] psychic sudo apt-get install epiphany [01:21] keb, wrong app [01:22] For some reason that's for some other thing [01:22] a while back my desktop changed to a light blue, and no longer displays devices that have been automounted.. Is there a way to revert back to the original desktop config? [01:23] Would reinstalling xfdesktop help? [01:23] lol ok [01:23] sorry [01:23] It might, I'm not sure actually [01:23] weird name conflict [01:23] n2diy i cant even change the desktop background color anymore [01:24] i always get this with sudo since 9.04 pam_mount(pam_mount.c:100): unknown pam_mount option "use_first_pass" [01:24] anyone know how to clear a swap [01:24] ? [01:25] do files build up in it like cache files do? [01:25] keb, about your desktop background [01:25] keb, I didn't change anything, and I'm still running 8.04. [01:25] sudo chown yourname .config/xfce4 -R ? [01:28] SiDi all the files and folders in there are owned.grouped by me [01:28] keb u know anything abou swap? [01:29] keb, dunno then :P [01:29] psychic, best to leave swap to itself [01:29] i would but i installed it [01:29] psychic you shouldnt need to, but you can always do a swapoff and swapon [01:29] so now i have to know [01:29] install swap? [01:30] well my ram is at 50% of 512 mgb and my swap is drained? [01:30] no i need to know if i set swap up right [01:30] did you install kubuntu the regular way? [01:30] If you did, it should be working just fine [01:32] swap will be automatically freed up as you close programs [01:32] especially firefox [01:32] and each time you reboot [01:37] accckkk!!! is flash sound not working 'everywhere', or just here on my box? [01:41] mikubuntu, kill pulse audio, remove flash/gnash, reinstall flash, and you're done [01:42] my sound was working fine yesterday, now all messed up, is anybody else experiencing any sound probs with youtube? [01:42] Sidi, so this has been going on today? [01:42] Did you upgrade to 9.04 or installed GNOME / Ubuntu / Kubuntu / KDE / PulseAudio ? [01:42] i haven't done any upgrades [01:42] just updates [01:42] mikubuntu, under Ubuntu, Flash is known to have sound trouble with PulseAudio. And we don't use PulseAudio under Xubuntu :) [01:43] Show me the output of "ps aux | grep pulse" please [01:43] k, hold on [01:43] trying to set mplayer as the default dvd player so it starts up when I put in a movie, this is how far I have gotten and it's not working. I went into Settings>Removable Drives and Media>Mutilmedia tab then I set the comand for Video CD'/DVD's as this "/usr/bin/mplayer /cdrom" AND IT'S NOT WORKING!!! [01:45] 1001 6107 0.0 0.6 28480 3108 ? Sl Apr24 1:05 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --log-target=syslog [01:45] 1001 6110 0.0 0.3 5672 1572 ? S Apr24 0:00 /usr/lib/pulseaudio/pulse/gconf-helper [01:45] 1001 9332 0.0 0.1 3008 776 pts/0 R+ 20:44 0:00 grep pulse [01:45] mikubuntu@marybuntu-desktop:~$ [01:46] Okey, then the evil pulseaudio is running. [01:46] kill -9 6107 && kill -9 6110 will get rid of it. [01:46] aaaaahhhh, and how do we off his head [01:47] so i'm just doing a 'killall', or uninstall? [01:47] It's usually launched by totem, the video reader, and a few other GNOME apps that find it funny to read only GNOME's settings. You can remove pulseaudio from synaptic if you don't want this kind of trouble [01:47] Xubuntu will work fine without pulseaudio, and so should every app [01:47] this box actually running ubuntu, will it work fine as well? [01:48] mikubuntu, ahem [01:48] What i said was for xubuntu :P [01:48] Not for ubuntu [01:48] if you use ubuntu, then check for tutorials on how to get Flash to work with Pulseaudio [01:48] so i might not want to uninstall? [01:49] it's safer to keep pulse there, because many GNOME apps want it, and you'll have trouble at the next upgrade if you remove it [01:49] :( [01:49] :) [01:50] ok, but for this session, you say just do a killall -9 6107 && kill -9 6110 ? [01:50] kill -9 those two processes yeh [01:50] it'll shut pulseaudio down [01:51] will killall pulseaudio work? [01:51] what directory do wallpaper images need to be moved into to select them in the Desktop Settings list? [01:52] trying to set mplayer as the default dvd player so it starts up when I put in a movie, this is how far I have gotten and it's not working. I went into Settings>Removable Drives and Media>Mutilmedia tab then I set the comand for Video CD'/DVD's as this "/usr/bin/mplayer /cdrom" Anyone have a clue how to get this working? [01:53] parents_, isn't it "mplayer dvd://" ? [01:53] mykevelli, you have a '+' button there to add wallpapers :) [01:54] mykevelli, by default there's a .xml file somewhere in ~/.config/xfce4" that contains the wallpapers [01:54] dangit. im failing hardcore on the obvious stuff [01:54] lol, thanks SiDi [01:56] mykevelli, you're welcome [02:04] SiDi: I will try that [02:07] I've noticed i get really slow internet speeds when i connect via wireless. any ideas how I would troubleshoot that? [02:07] It's wireless, you know :P [02:08] put your router nearer, kick your neighboors from it, too [02:08] what sort of wireless? [02:09] SiDi, I mean really slow :/ i think the best i've ever gotten was about 75 kB/s [02:10] saltmiser, what do you mean, what sort? I think its 802.11B if thats what you mean [02:10] And with a wired connection ? [02:10] oh, B is old [02:10] very limited bandwidth :P [02:10] go for G (or N) [02:10] wired is about 750kB/s max [02:11] and yeah I know the router is old but I get fine speeds on my windows box [02:11] isn't wired 1000kB/s max? [02:11] is that both ways [02:11] yeah [02:11] so B is slow [02:11] no matte rwhat [02:11] haha [02:12] well, i wont get higher than about 750 with my isp so upgrading isnt really high on my list at the moment. not with a wedding coming up, anyways [02:12] mykevelli, does your router support 802.11g or n ? [02:13] almost everything supports g [02:13] SiDi; that worked perfectly, you are a god! thank you very MUCH [02:13] sadly no, its about 6 or 7 years old [02:13] parents_, i just opened my window and copy-pasted, replacing totem by mplayer :p [02:14] yup it works, thanks a lot SiDi [02:14] sidi, i guess i don't know the right command to kill those pulseaudio processes [02:15] isn't it "killall pulseaudio" wouldn't that take care of everything? [02:15] killall -9 6107 && kill -9 6110 didn't work [02:15] mikubuntu, they're probably coming back up on their own. some gnome apps will launch them if they dont find them [02:16] mikubuntu, join #ubuntu and ask there about flash+sound, there should be people with a tutorial under hand [02:16] i thought, but it din't work with killall pulseaudio [02:16] ok, i try ubuntu [02:17] I still don't kwow what pulseaudio really is [02:59] could anyone help me with an issue with xmacro [02:59] it wont record [03:00] it gives [03:00] Server VendorRelease: 10600000 [03:00] XRecord for server ":0.0" is version 1.13. [03:00] Press the key you want to use to end the application. This key can be any key, [03:00] as long as you don't need it while working with the remote display. [03:00] A good choice is Escape.

[03:01] and esc doent end it [03:01] escape = keycode 9 [03:01] any help [03:01] is there a software solution for using an external installation on multiple machines. I've done this manually before. But configs get over written for each machine and I'm always having to waste time on recovery an changing the entire system over to the 'new' hardware. seems 2 me that a set of configs for each system could be stored and loaded when a machine was recognized and deleted for space if no longer needed. [03:02] sry, but u lost me [03:03] any help [03:04] pcfreak30: sorry, I've never used xmacro. but posting many line like that is considered rude. please use pastebin.com or use fewer lines. If we wait, someone might see our questions and know the answer. [03:05] k.. [03:05] sry [03:05] np [03:07] zerothis did you look at diffmon? it could be used after the first install on given hardware to archive the chagnes needed [03:10] Xubuntu is my favoritest! Thank you vero much! [03:11] does xubuntu have samba capabilities out of the box? [03:12] :) [03:12] saltmiser, The newest release does, yes. [03:12] Jaunty Jackalope! [03:13] ok, does anyone have any idea why xmacro wont record. it worked in gnome. bugging out in xfce [03:15] i also tried a second keyboard [03:16] no go [03:17] cody-somerville, how? :P [03:17] saltmiser, Applications > System > Remote File Systems [03:18] oh wow [03:18] ok thanks [03:51] Before upgrading to 9.04 I was using BitPim to access my cell phone, but now it seems like BitPim does not have the access to do so. My phone is listed in the available ports inside BitPim but I think that some file permissions have been altered during the upgrade. Does any one have any ideas for me to get this working again? [03:52] what device does BitPim use [03:52] I dont really know, keb [03:52] maybe add BitPim to the group that can write to the /dev/usb/* devices [03:53] there should be a way to do this with the graphical permission manager thingy [03:54] another way is to chmod o+w, but either way you need to find out which device it uses to talk to the phone [03:55] i dont know how to find that out [03:57] Also, xubuntu used to pop up a notifiaction bubble when i plugged my phone in telling me i can configure some kind of internet connection for my phone but now it doesnt (post 9.04) [03:57] BitPim should have a setup or prefs or config dialog [03:58] well, diffmon looks like a step up from manual. perhaps I can put a few scripts together and make a working system. [03:58] /dev/ttyACM0 appears when i plug my phone in [04:00] zerothis i know there was something better but i cant recall it at the moment :/ [04:01] MTec007 do a ls -l on /dev/ttyACM0 [04:01] er, ls -l /dev/ttyACM0 [04:01] that will tell you who has permissions and what kind [04:02] well, post chmod o+w crw-rw--w- 1 root dialout 166, 0 2009-04-26 22:00 /dev/ttyACM0 [04:03] you'll want read permission as well [04:03] chmod o+rw [04:04] that is a security weakness but if it is a single user machine not a big worry [04:05] still not able to access the phone [04:07] this is just bizzare. [04:07] same error? [04:07] it was working perfectly fine before the upgrade. [04:08] what it says is it cant find my phone but my phone is listed in the available ports only after i plug it in. [04:09] type "dmesg" and see if it appears there [04:09] at the end of a long list of device messages [04:10] its there [04:10] how do I remove a directory in home? [04:11] [255218.200085] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7 [04:11] [255218.361725] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [04:11] I'm trying to get avg linux to work but it keeps saying I don't have permission now that I upgraded my system what should I do?

[04:17] looks like you are trying to remove a home directory for a user named avg [04:18] I believe so it's for avg antivirus for linux I can't get it to update? [04:18] it says I don't have permission since I upgraded my system [04:18] keb, i have more time than i thought i had so if you have any more ideas for me, that would be great;) [04:18] so you want to remove it or get it working? [04:19] oh yes, then remove and reinstall [04:19] either way works for me [04:19] I need it to know I have administrative privellges [04:20] should I remove the program? [04:20] MTec007 at this point you might try googling ubuntu bitpim 9.04 [04:20] see if something changed [04:20] loren you could try uninstalling from Synaptic [04:20] yes go to System, Synaptic [04:20] I'll see if it's there [04:24] I removed it now how do I get it to work reinstall it? [04:24] It's not in Synaptic anymore [04:25] how did it get on there in the first place? [04:26] I installed it myself off of avg web site download [04:27] normally you dont need an antivirus for linux but it is useful to check email that might be going to other systems etc [04:28] yes download a fresh one and install [04:28] I like running it from time to time just to make sure something didn't get on my computer o-k I will [04:28] on Windows, avg doesnt work after an upgrade of Windows you have to reinstall avg [04:29] I'm using xubuntu [04:29] you can also try clamav it is quite a good virus scanner [04:29] they have a linux program now [04:30] I already have clamav [04:30] I like it [04:30] yes all the major antivirus vendors do [04:30] once you can find the right commands for terminal [04:31] I'm not good with terminal commands yet, I'm trying to learn [04:32] I'm going to avg web site to see if they have a newer program [04:33] there is a gui for clamav linux i think [04:33] didnt like it last time i looked [04:34] I just found the new version of avg for linux in deb [04:34] I'm downloading it now [04:35] http://free.avg.com/download?prd=afl [04:35] In case you would like it [04:36] anyone here have satilight for internet ?

[09:14] buggers, i came here for help, not to help others lol [09:15] ? [09:15] best way? [09:16] best way is prolly to use one of the ext file systems [09:16] which you can set up with gparted thats included with linux [09:16] ubuntu [09:16] sry [09:16] linux is the kernel.. i know i know :) [09:16] if your second hard drive you plan to install onto is empty, then you can install using the live cd, and use a guided partitioning system [09:17]
