| WikiZ | is there any firewall after fresh xubuntu install? | 00:14 |
| charlie-tca | shouldn't be, since no ports are opened | 00:15 |
| WikiZ | how do i open? | 00:16 |
| charlie-tca | Usually automatic as you install apps that need them. | 00:16 |
| charlie-tca | When you set up email, it opens ports 110 and 25 | 00:16 |
| charlie-tca | firefox will open 80 | 00:16 |
| WikiZ | just installed ftp server to test if thats why i cant vnc to it | 00:17 |
| WikiZ | and i cant connect to the ftpserver either | 00:17 |

| lukinfore | charlie-tca, did you mean input policy should be drop by default? | 00:20 |
| lukinfore | and , should i create a bug about gdmap? | 00:20 |
| lukinfore | someone can test that? | 00:21 |
| charlie-tca | no, I mean there is no input policy since there are no iptables by default | 00:21 |
| lukinfore | well, then all ports shold be opened | 00:21 |
| charlie-tca | Yes, you probably should create a bug about gdmap, and please include the debian bug number. | 00:22 |
| lukinfore | k, just want someone to proove this | 00:22 |
| charlie-tca | All ports are closed by default. You have to specifically open the ones you want | 00:22 |
| WikiZ | opend it all, still dosent work | 00:22 |
| lukinfore | uhm, if policy is accept, then port is open, isn't it? | 00:23 |
| charlie-tca | There is no accept / drop policy in place. the ports are not open | 00:25 |
| charlie-tca | accept/drop is iptables. They don't exist by default, so there are no policies | 00:25 |

| thismamacooks200 | xorg.conf is in /ext/X11/, unless something reall weird was done. but xorg.conf is nearly obsolete now anyhow. have you tried xrandr ? | 04:42 |

| tyko | hi all, just wondering if xubuntu 9.04 uses the new ubuntu notification system ... | 04:44 |
| fregoMT | thismamacooks200> no I haven't tried xrandr | 04:45 |
| fregoMT | googling... | 04:45 |
| thismamacooks200 | somthing like "xrander --output VGA --mode 1024x768" but instead of "VGA" you'll have to use the name of your output. and "1024x768" might be different also. use "xrandr -q" to find out your output names and modes | 04:46 |
| thismamacooks200 | on a laptop, you may have "LDVS" also. Generally the "VGA" varient is merely a copy of it and you should try the VGA first. | 04:48 |

| brandon_ | need some assistance getting a t40 with the cisco card talking wpa - if anyone's around TIA | 07:18 |
| Mat-Cauthon | um... since changing to 9.04 xfce gets quite slow when enabling display compositing. wasn't the case with 8.10. is this a known problem? | 07:19 |
| brandon_ | i think they're all asleep ;) | 07:20 |
| SiDi | hi hi | 07:20 |
| SiDi | Mat-Cauthon: check your drivers | 07:20 |
| SiDi | esp if you have an intel/sis card | 07:20 |
| SiDi | There's a new x.org version with 9.04, so if your GPU manufacturer didnt make new drivers that'd explain why it's slow | 07:20 |
| * SiDi goes to shower now :O | 07:21 | |
| Mat-Cauthon | it's an intel 4500mhd onboard thingy, actually | 07:22 |
| Mat-Cauthon | so how would i go about checking the driver? :p | 07:27 |
| gabkdlly | Mat-Cauthon: Applications -> System -> Hardware Drivers | 07:43 |
| gabkdlly | might be what you are looking for | 07:43 |
| Mat-Cauthon | nothing in there | 07:43 |
| Mat-Cauthon | and wasn't before ;) | 07:43 |
| SiDi | MrNaz: fix your client please | 07:46 |
| SiDi | Mat-Cauthon: intel cards are having trouble | 07:47 |
| SiDi | Afaik, it's being investigated by Intel | 07:47 |
| SiDi | The best is to disable composite transparency by the meanwhile | 07:47 |
| Mat-Cauthon | well yea, i've done that already, since it was quite annoying ^^ | 07:48 |
| Mat-Cauthon | so if a fix was released by intel, how would i get it? | 07:48 |
| Mat-Cauthon | wait until it's implemented into the kernel, which will then eventually make it to the ubuntu repo? | 07:49 |
| SiDi | http://www.geekosophical.net/?p=263 | 07:49 |
| SiDi | Mat-Cauthon: via automatic updates | 07:49 |
| SiDi | If the drivers are fixed there will be an update | 07:49 |
| SiDi | Anyways you should wait for either Intel devs / Ubuntu devs / Debian devs to have an official fix. | 07:50 |
| SiDi | I can't recommand you any workaround for GPU drivers. | 07:50 |
| SiDi | It's too critical :P | 07:50 |
| Mat-Cauthon | fair enough | 07:51 |
| Mat-Cauthon | i suppose i can do without transparent windows for a couple of days ;) | 07:51 |
| Mat-Cauthon | well, thanks for the advice | 07:51 |
| cr4z3d | i just upgraded to 9.04 and trying to get nautilus as my default file manager. i came across an article telling me to edit menu.xml but it seems this is obsolete in the new xfce version. how can i do this? | 07:51 |
| SiDi | You're welcome Mat-Cauthon | 07:52 |
| SiDi | cr4z3d: i don't know if its possible to make it completely default | 07:53 |
| SiDi | for instance, we use thunar-volman for the usb keys and such stuff, and this will relay on thunar | 07:53 |
| SiDi | but you can add a "nautilus --no-desktop" launcher on your panel, for instance | 07:54 |
| SiDi | as for the menu, edit it with alacarte (i don't guarantee the changes will make it to the xfce menu, you may then have to tweak your .desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications/) | 07:54 |

| tavasti | like 'vncserver -kill :1' | 14:53 |
| charlie-tca | also going to need the output of lspci -vvnn as a text file | 14:53 |
| Whisper | its running via xinetd | 14:54 |
| Whisper | tavasti restarted xinetd, still no go | 14:54 |
| tavasti | ps ax | grep vnc | 14:55 |
| tavasti | kill that process | 14:55 |
| Whisper | i have no such process | 14:55 |
| tavasti | BTW, how is that configured to run from xinetd, by what user, etc? | 14:55 |
| Whisper | user whisper | 14:56 |
| ball | I don't have a /var/xorg.0.log | 14:56 |
| tavasti | do you have any log files in ~/.vnc ? | 14:56 |
| ball | Ah, it's in /var/log | 14:56 |
| tavasti | and pid file? | 14:57 |
| Whisper | nope | 14:57 |
| tavasti | hmm, which vnc variant you have installed? | 14:57 |
| tavasti | I have tightvnc, that may behave differently | 14:57 |
| Whisper | http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2006/12/xubuntu-remote-desktop-with-vnc4server.html | 14:58 |
| Whisper | used that guide | 14:58 |
| Whisper | vnc4server | 14:58 |
| ball | charlie-tca: thanks a lot for that. | 14:59 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 14:59 |
| Whisper | tavasti tightvnc server you say? | 14:59 |
| Whisper | i guess i could try that one, know any good howto? | 15:00 |
| tavasti | no, don't bother | 15:00 |
| tavasti | -query localhost | 15:00 |
| tavasti | It tries to connect local gdm/xdm/kdm, which ever you have installed | 15:01 |
| tavasti | 1) do you have any of those running | 15:01 |
| Whisper | yeah, im logged in at the computer | 15:02 |
| tavasti | 2) does it service xdmcp request | 15:02 |
| Whisper | in xfce | 15:02 |
| Whisper | yepp | 15:03 |
| Whisper | but i read something about a bug causing this in the latest version | 15:03 |
| tavasti | do you have xnest installed? | 15:04 |
| tavasti | try ' Xnest -query localhost :1 ' | 15:04 |
| Whisper | nope, have to apt it | 15:05 |
| tavasti | at least in my system I get normal, grey X, since I haven't turned xdmcp on | 15:05 |
| tavasti | apt-get install xnest | 15:05 |
| Whisper | tavasti you want me to run that in the vnc session or what? | 15:07 |
| tavasti | No, run that locally | 15:07 |
| Whisper | okay | 15:07 |
| Whisper | gave me a black window | 15:07 |
| === mogul218_ is now known as mogul218 | ||
| tavasti | black? | 15:08 |
| Whisper | yeah | 15:08 |
| Whisper | had some error in terminal. gimme a sec and ill pastebin it | 15:08 |
| tavasti | anyway, gdm is not serving you, configuring gdm needed | 15:08 |
| * genii suspects "no usable screens found" | 15:09 | |
| tavasti | gdmsetup may do the trick, or configuring /etc/gdm/* | 15:09 |
| tavasti | sorry, gotta go -> | 15:10 |
| Whisper | no http://pastebay.com/12308 | 15:10 |
| Mat-Cauthon | does anyone know of a music player for linux of the likes of foobar2000? | 15:12 |
| Whisper | songbird? | 15:13 |
| ladanz | Hi there, i have a little problem: it seems that my notification-area and my notes-plugin doesn't save options like "no border" or "always on top". any suggestions? | 15:13 |
| dojero | Hello to all | 15:14 |
| Mat-Cauthon | i've tried songbird and didn't like it... too clustered | 15:14 |
| charlie-tca | !hi | dojero | 15:15 |
| ubottu | dojero: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! | 15:15 |
| Mat-Cauthon | und too uncomfortable/slow i guess | 15:15 |
| dojero | I'm currently using Xubuntu 8.10 and just tried out the live CD of 9.04. Ran into some problems I thought someone here might be able to help me with. | 15:15 |
| charlie-tca | !question | dojero | 15:15 |
| ubottu | dojero: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 15:15 |
| dojero | Sorry... | 15:16 |
| dojero | The CTRL-Escape key didn't work for invoking the menu. Is there a way to implement that? | 15:16 |
| Mat-Cauthon | settings->keyboard->app shortcuts->add xfce4-popup-menu on ctrl+esc | 15:18 |
| dojero | Great...what about the hotkeys on my keyboard for volume up/down/mute (FN-F10, Fn-F11, FN-f12)? | 15:18 |
| Mat-Cauthon | that one i'd be interested in, too - fn-left/right here, worked in 8.10, doesn't work now | 15:19 |
| Mat-Cauthon | though fn-up/down for setting the brightness does still work | 15:19 |
| charlie-tca | You have to add them in the same place | 15:19 |
| dojero | charlie-tca: add them using aumix definitions? | 15:20 |
| charlie-tca | Yes | 15:20 |
| Mat-Cauthon | well, that's possible, but i wonder why they don't work by default anymore, with the lovely (not obtrusive) hud and all | 15:21 |
| ollie_ | Hi, after having installed Jaunty, XFCE seems broken. It's acting as if the "Allow XFCE to manage this desktop" option is disabled, but I can't see the option in Settings -> Desktop to enable it. | 15:21 |
| charlie-tca | Too many combinations to try and define them in advance. It depends on the keyboard. | 15:21 |
| dojero | Great...thanks to Mat-Cauthon and charlie-tca | 15:21 |
| ollie_ | Also, on the login page it says, "Would you like to make XFCE.desktop your default session? XFCE Session is not installed on this computer" | 15:21 |
| Mat-Cauthon | but fn-left just sends XF86AudioLowerVolume on my laptop, why doesn't it catch that? | 15:22 |
| charlie-tca | It is not defined, is it? | 15:23 |
| dojero | The command has to be amixer set Master 2- | 15:23 |
| dojero | Or whatever your main volume is and however much lower you want it to go. | 15:23 |
| Mat-Cauthon | no, but neither are the shortcuts for setting the display brightness, and neither were they in 8.10 | 15:23 |
| charlie-tca | Xfce 4.6 changed a lot of configurations things. It is not the same as 8.10 | 15:24 |
| charlie-tca | ollie_: telling it yes allows it to set the correct options to manage the desktop now. | 15:25 |
| dojero | The last problem was weird...I went to a video site and my Syntek webcam turned on by itself...and I couldn't turn it off...it's the built in camera on my Asus laptop | 15:25 |
| ollie_ | 5:25:05 < charlie-tca> ollie_: telling it yes allows it to set the correct options to manage the desktop now. | 15:26 |
| ollie_ | I can't see the option though | 15:26 |
| ollie_ | In settings manager -> Desktop, it looks like the GNOME desktop settings ;c | 15:26 |
| ollie_ | and there is no option to allow it | 15:26 |
| ollie_ | it was working fine up until the jaunty update | 15:26 |
| Mat-Cauthon | what command would i set a shortcut for if i wanted to get the hud feedback when changing my volume? | 15:27 |
| dojero | The Syntek webcam has never gotten along with Xubuntu (or Kubuntu before that, for that matter), but I was hoping things might improve in 9.4 | 15:27 |
| charlie-tca | It is automatic when you let it be the default session. If xfce-session is not running, it won't manage the desktop | 15:27 |
| ollie_ | charlie-tca: I am using xfce at the moment | 15:28 |
| ollie_ | the option isn't there in Desktop settings | 15:28 |
| charlie-tca | no, it is not in 9.04 | 15:29 |
| charlie-tca | <ollie_> Also, on the login page it says, "Would you like to make XFCE.desktop your default session? XFCE Session is not installed on this computer" | 15:29 |
| charlie-tca | tell it yes | 15:29 |
| ollie_ | I did | 15:30 |
| ollie_ | just now | 15:30 |
| ollie_ | still not working | 15:30 |
| kromar | how do i play files with amarok? | 15:31 |
| ollie_ | charlie-tca: any idea? | 15:34 |
| dojero | I'm guessing that no one has any ideas about the Syntek camera problem? | 15:35 |
| charlie-tca | ollie_: try ctrl+Alt+F2 and run xfce4-session | 15:39 |
| ollie_ | ok | 15:40 |
| ollie_ | charlie-tca: Gtk warning, cannot open display | 15:42 |
| gorgut | can someone tell me where the script is that tells mono to start at login? | 15:45 |
| charlie-tca | I am out of ideas, ollie_ | 15:45 |
| ollie_ | ;[ | 15:46 |
| ollie_ | very annoying | 15:46 |
| ollie_ | I tried going into GNOME a minute ago | 15:46 |
| ollie_ | and I can't right click the desktop | 15:46 |
| ollie_ | heh | 15:46 |
| ollie_ | but everything else appears OK | 15:46 |
| ollie_ | although tehre are no desktop icons on gnome either | 15:46 |
| ollie_ | ;c | 15:46 |
| ollie_ | gonna try booting into intripid again | 15:47 |
| gorgut | charlie-tca, any idea why /usr/bin/mono runs whenever I log in? | 15:47 |
| charlie-tca | nope | 15:47 |
| charlie-tca | Something you added that needs it. | 15:48 |
| gorgut | ugh. uses all the CPU for some reason. It's almost worth uninstalling Tomboy | 15:48 |
| charlie-tca | It is not default for jaunty | 15:48 |
| gorgut | yeah I had to install it for Tomboy | 15:48 |
| gorgut | i can't find ANYTHING that's telling it to run | 15:49 |
| charlie-tca | It starts then because Tomboy requires it just to run. Does Tomboy show up in the panel? | 15:49 |
| ollie_ | ;c | 15:49 |
| ollie_ | broken on this kernel too | 15:49 |
| ollie_ | if I do apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop, will that remove GNOME | 15:49 |
| gorgut | Yeah, i have tomboy running in the panel, but Tomboy runs fine without it after I kill it in htop | 15:49 |
| ollie_ | but leave xfce? | 15:49 |
| ollie_ | -.- | 15:49 |
| charlie-tca | ollie_: sounds like maybe the user config files might have wrong permissions | 15:50 |
| ollie_ | where are they located? | 15:50 |
| charlie-tca | ~/home/USER_NAME/.??? | 15:50 |
| charlie-tca | If you do ls -lA in a terminal, you can see who owns the files. Root should not be owner | 15:51 |
| charlie-tca | gorgut: I don't know why it should work without mono. If Tomboy runs in the panel on startup, mono will start. | 15:52 |
| ollie_ | ollie@ollie-ubuntu:~$ ls -lah | grep root|more | 15:52 |
| ollie_ | drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4.0K 2008-04-01 11:00 .. | 15:52 |
| ollie_ | -rw------- 1 root root 1.0K 2008-07-09 10:52 .rnd | 15:52 |
| ollie_ | -rw------- 1 root root 653 2009-03-06 12:31 .Xauthority | 15:52 |
| ollie_ | don't think they're important? | 15:52 |
| ollie_ | gonna see if logging in as root makes a difference | 15:53 |
| knome | Mark Shuttleworth answers your questions few minutes (15-17UTC) on #ubuntu-classroom. Questions on #ubuntu-classroom-chat. | 15:53 |
| charlie-tca | owner should be ollie, not root, of all files in /home/ollie | 15:54 |
| charlie-tca | what about in /home/ollie/.config ? | 15:54 |
| ollie_ | drwxr-xr-x 19 ollie ollie 4.0K 2009-04-28 15:33 .config | 15:54 |
| charlie-tca | You can use chown -r to change owner to ollie of all your home files. That might be what is wrong. | 15:55 |
| charlie-tca | Is your intrepid install using the same /home? | 15:56 |
| ollie_ | yeah | 15:58 |
| ollie_ | it's not actually a seperate isntall | 15:58 |
| ollie_ | heh | 15:58 |
| ollie_ | I meant the kernel intrepid was using | 15:58 |
| ollie_ | not that it would make much of a difference | 15:58 |
| ollie_ | seems something in the update broke it anyway | 15:59 |
| ollie_ | charlie-tca: if I remove xubuntu-desktop and reinstall it, I won't lose any data, rite? | 16:00 |
| charlie-tca | The config files from intrepid to jaunty changed too much. They can't use a common /home/ollie/.config at least | 16:00 |
| charlie-tca | When jaunty changes the files, intrepid can't use them anymore. | 16:01 |
| * ollie_ grumbles | 16:04 | |
| ollie_ | it works if I login as root | 16:04 |
| charlie-tca | Then chown -r ollie:ollie /home/ollie | 16:05 |
| ollie_ | oot@ollie-ubuntu:/home# chown ollie.ollie -R ollie/ | 16:05 |
| ollie_ | doing it nao | 16:05 |
| ollie_ | chown: cannot access `ollie/.gvfs': Permission denied | 16:05 |
| ollie_ | o | 16:05 |
| charlie-tca | normal | 16:05 |
| ollie_ | mk | 16:05 |
| ollie_ | well brb | 16:05 |
| charlie-tca | oh, gotta use sudo | 16:05 |
| ollie_ | \o/ | 16:06 |
| ollie_ | still broken | 16:06 |
| ollie_ | ;p | 16:06 |
| charlie-tca | did it with sudo, to change the owner from root? | 16:07 |
| charlie-tca | then log out/log in | 16:07 |
| ollie_ | 16:07:18 < charlie-tca> did it with sudo, to change the owner from root? | 16:09 |
| ollie_ | 16:07:27 < charlie-tca> then log out/log in | 16:09 |
| ollie_ | I already su'd to root | 16:09 |
| ollie_ | works when I create a new user though | 16:09 |
| ollie_ | so w/e | 16:09 |
| ollie_ | I'll just delete that user and recreate it | 16:10 |
| charlie-tca | Because if you su'd to root, it kept ownership | 16:10 |
| ollie_ | why would su'ing to root keep my users ownership o.O | 16:10 |
| charlie-tca | Using sudo keeps you the owner | 16:10 |
| charlie-tca | sudo chown -r is different than becoming root | 16:10 |
| charlie-tca | I don't understand it, I just have fought with it | 16:11 |
| ollie_ | uh huh | 16:11 |
| ollie_ | don't worry | 16:11 |
| ollie_ | i'll just delete the user and recreate | 16:11 |
| charlie-tca | okay | 16:12 |
| Mat-Cauthon | hmpf, how do i get back the volume osd i had with 8.10? | 16:14 |
| charlie-tca | Not sure what you mean, Mat-Cauthon | 16:15 |
| charlie-tca | In the panel? | 16:15 |
| ollie_ | meh | 16:16 |
| ollie_ | well | 16:16 |
| ollie_ | this works | 16:16 |
| Mat-Cauthon | no, i used to get an osd when using the fn-keys on my laptop for changing volume | 16:16 |
| Mat-Cauthon | i still get that osd when changing the brightness via fn-keys, but not for the volume anymore | 16:16 |
| Mat-Cauthon | well, using my fn-keys for changing the volume now doesn't work in the first place, unless i manually add a shortcut, as i've mentioned before, so.. | 16:17 |
| Mat-Cauthon | is it possible to get a mouse cursor in inverted colors (i.e. the colors should change according to where the mouse pointer rests)? | 16:34 |
| TheSheep | Mat-Cauthon: I don't think so, even if you could, I would advise against | 16:40 |
| Whisper | what package is the make tools in? | 16:41 |
| charlie-tca | build-essential ? | 16:41 |
| TheSheep | Whisper: install build-essential package, it will give you a whole set of tools | 16:41 |
| Whisper | thanks :) | 16:43 |
| Mat-Cauthon | why would you do that TheSheep? | 16:44 |
| Besogon | I bought Wireless LAN Adapter and installed it. There haven't Wifi internet else (I hope I going tocreate it). OK. When I typed "ifconfig" I have apperaed to interfaces: wlan0 and wmaster0... What are they mean??????? I only whant to know. | 16:45 |
| TheSheep | Mat-Cauthon: it's hard to spot and tiring for the eyes | 16:46 |
| Mat-Cauthon | err, no, the point is that it is _easier_ to see | 16:46 |
| Mat-Cauthon | since the colors are always opposite to those of the background | 16:47 |
| charlie-tca | Besogon: wlan0 is the wireless adapter, wlan is used instead of eth | 16:47 |
| Besogon | charlie-tca, And what does mean wmaster? | 16:48 |
| Besogon | wmaster0 | 16:48 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know. | 16:48 |
| charlie-tca | !wireless | 16:48 |
| Besogon | wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:15:71:21:89 | 16:48 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 16:48 |
| Besogon | wmaster0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-22-15-71-21-89-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 | 16:48 |
| charlie-tca | Is it a wireless router? | 16:49 |
| Besogon | It is Asus WL-138g v2 (It can translate internet and receive) | 16:50 |
| Besogon | PCI card | 16:51 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe that is what the wmaster0 is for, I don't know. | 16:53 |
| Besogon | Like said in my country: dick knows, but it is working | 16:55 |
| charlie-tca | Yeah, that's it! | 16:57 |
| genii | the wmaster0 is the USB bridge to the wlan0 | 17:49 |
| J_Litewski1 | really? | 17:49 |
| J_Litewski1 | i got a wmaster0 for my PCMIA card | 17:49 |
| J_Litewski1 | wmaster1 is for my USB dongle | 17:50 |
| J_Litewski1 | anyways, is there a way to change where lib-notify pop-ups show up? | 17:51 |
| J_Litewski1 | it's kind of annoying having them pop up at the bottom right-hand corner | 17:52 |
| binskipy2u | hey everyone.. is XFCE that much faster then Gnome/Kde , is it "that" much lighter then each? | 18:04 |
| binskipy2u | i mean that noticeable | 18:04 |
| charlie-tca | lighter | 18:04 |
| charlie-tca | If you don't install all the software of gnome and kde. | 18:05 |
| binskipy2u | proberly only install k3b | 18:06 |
| binskipy2u | cause i like it better then brassero | 18:06 |
| J_Litewski1 | charlie-tca, is there any way to change where libnotify popups appear? | 18:07 |
| binskipy2u | is the speed differences.. etc. worth it to go from ubuntu 9.04 to xubuntu 9.04 | 18:07 |
| charlie-tca | J_Litewski1: Not to my knowledge | 18:07 |
| charlie-tca | binskipy2u: depends on your hardware | 18:09 |
| binskipy2u | its a triplecore 64bit processor w/4gigs ram | 18:09 |
| charlie-tca | My old PII 400Mhz won't work hardly with Ubuntu | 18:09 |
| binskipy2u | dont care about compiz, or wobbly windows | 18:09 |
| zoredache | you probably won't notice much of a difference given that your system is so fast | 18:10 |
| kromar | you have a phenom II x3? | 18:10 |
| binskipy2u | just a 9 month old triplecore 8450 | 18:12 |
| binskipy2u | phenom plain | 18:12 |
| kromar | any idea how i can increase the volume on my system? since 9.04 the volume seems very limited | 18:13 |
| cyberfree | motd | 18:15 |
| tmurase | kromar: how are you trying to raise the volume? | 18:15 |
| tmurase | I find that most of my memory still goes to firefox ;) | 18:16 |
| kromar | tmurase: well i added a mixer to the taskbar and there is everything maxed out | 18:16 |
| tmurase | kromar: under properties which "sound card" is selected? | 18:17 |
| kromar | properties? | 18:17 |
| kromar | in the mixer or where? | 18:17 |
| tmurase | er, in the mixer | 18:17 |
| SiDi | tmurase: feel free to try opera./midori ;) | 18:18 |
| kromar | Realtek ALC8B9A (OSS Mixer) | 18:18 |
| tmurase | SiDi: I'm a noscript diehard :) | 18:18 |
| SiDi | wee, i'm not the only one with volume decreased since jaunty ! | 18:18 |
| SiDi | (actually i think i ran into all the known bugs at a time :d) | 18:18 |
| tmurase | kromar: no alsa or pulseaudio "sound cards" available in the mixer? | 18:18 |
| kromar | nope | 18:18 |
| tmurase | huh | 18:19 |
| knome | SiDi, you definitely should be on our bug squad! ;) | 18:19 |
| kromar | in 8.10 i had a app in the settings to set the sound but now its gone, maybe thats the problem? | 18:19 |
| * charlie-tca thinks SiDi is special, found every known bug at one go | 18:19 | |
| charlie-tca | Other people only get to find one or two at a time, SiDi | 18:20 |
| knome | totally! | 18:20 |
| knome | that is true talent | 18:20 |
| charlie-tca | tmurase: should not be pulseaudio in Xubuntu | 18:20 |
| kromar | ok i installed GNOME ALSA mixer and there i can turn the volume higher | 18:20 |
| SiDi | charlie-tca: i wrote a bug report for keyboard shortcuts | 18:21 |
| tmurase | charlie-tca: but oss only? | 18:21 |
| SiDi | and 3/4 guys came with same bug and a fix | 18:21 |
| SiDi | it worked | 18:21 |
| SiDi | for them | 18:21 |
| knome | bigger than the ugly lady on the britains talent ;> | 18:21 |
| charlie-tca | I saw it, SiDi. Got two or three confirming it, but it is hard to tell if they are seeing the same thing | 18:21 |
| SiDi | Yeh | 18:21 |
| SiDi | anyways the default keyboard shortcuts file is broken for me | 18:22 |
| charlie-tca | tmurase: no, alsa should have been there | 18:22 |
| SiDi | since i resetted it to default | 18:22 |
| SiDi | and i'm on 4.6.1 now, still same problem | 18:22 |
| charlie-tca | Yeah, that makes me think they don't have the same bug | 18:22 |
| SiDi | charlie-tca: i noticed some weird error messages from scim today | 18:24 |
| SiDi | so i'll just kick scim's butt later and see if my keyboard goes better | 18:24 |
| SiDi | whats weird tho is that xfwm4's shortcuts and gnome-keybinding-properties' ones just work | 18:24 |
| charlie-tca | scim, too? | 18:24 |
| SiDi | charlie-tca: you'll be at the UDS, right ? | 18:26 |
| charlie-tca | no | 18:26 |
| SiDi | aw | 18:26 |
| charlie-tca | medical condition | 18:27 |
| SiDi | ew | 18:27 |
| charlie-tca | I will be there in spirit | 18:27 |
| SiDi | Okey :) | 18:27 |
| SiDi | in video, too ? | 18:27 |
| charlie-tca | no | 18:27 |
| SiDi | in irc, at least ? :o | 18:28 |
| charlie-tca | irc, gobby, icecast | 18:28 |
| tmurase | I have to say, I'm not missing gnome at all now with the latest xubuntu | 18:30 |
| charlie-tca | :-) | 18:31 |
| tmurase | I'm sure that will make Jorge cry ;) | 18:31 |
| Idespnnr | tmurase: what differences have you noticed between xfce and gnome? | 18:38 |
| tmurase | Not a whole lot, but that's probably due to the fact I moved from vanilla ubuntu | 18:40 |
| tmurase | I can see in comparing with my sole remaining gnome box that the overall xfce environment is lighter in terms of resources | 18:40 |
| daftdasplat | smile | 19:06 |
| daftdasplat | bye | 19:06 |
| SiDi | do we have any ISO image below 250 MB available via torrent ? | 19:07 |
| zoredache | SiDi: you can download the mini.iso of the web site (~12mb) | 19:28 |
| zoredache | you must have working network access to install | 19:28 |
| Besogon | SiDi, Puppy linux ISO 100Mb about | 19:29 |
| SiDi | Besogon: thanks | 19:30 |
| SiDi | zoredache: i wanna download some torrent stuff ;) | 19:30 |

| jeidson | anyone have advice on how to connect to a windows vpn server that is using pptp. I'm using xubuntu 8.04. and have tried suggestions from internet | 20:32 |
| jeidson | So far I tried using networkmanager-pptp but the only option I get is manual setup. | 20:33 |
| jeidson | I have been unable to get a connection with kvpnc either. | 20:34 |
| Besogon | jeidson, I did it year ago | 20:36 |
| jeidson | Besogon, Do you remember how you got it to work, or have things changed too much? | 20:37 |
| Besogon | OK. See routes. (May be easer way for you it install new Network manager). | 20:38 |
| jeidson | Besogon, OK. I will try that. | 20:40 |
| Besogon | When you connect to VPN server, ypur host will change and Your computer cant find DNS servers. For resolve that you must write routes in script for pptp-up or somewere else | 20:41 |
| J_Litewski | how do i change my wired connection settings? | 20:41 |
| J_Litewski | the Edit button is grayed out when i go into Edit Connections | 20:41 |
| Besogon | J_Litewski, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/internet/C/troubleshooting.html (Did you try that?) | 20:44 |
| J_Litewski | where is libnotify/notify.h? | 21:14 |
| SiDi | /usr/include/ | 21:17 |
| SiDi | looking for something in particular with libnotify ? | 21:17 |
| chewit | Just out of interest, is there any speed tweaks I can use in Xfce or Xubuntu (as a whole)? | 21:19 |
| J_Litewski | i'm screwing around with making C programs | 21:19 |
| J_Litewski | and thinking about writing a plugin for the xfce4 terminal if something happens | 21:19 |
| genii | chewit: For load time you can put in the kernel load line for 1 time the option "profile" | 21:22 |
| J_Litewski | there is no libnotify folder in /usr/include/ | 21:23 |
| chewit | genii, where would i change the kernel load time? | 21:24 |
| chewit | oh i know what u mean | 21:24 |
| chewit | i have already done that | 21:24 |
| genii | chewit: How much RAM on the system? | 21:25 |
| Haris_ | hi all | 21:26 |
| chewit | 256MB | 21:26 |
| chewit | i am after speed tweaks on the desktop, not bothered about boot time | 21:27 |
| Haris_ | does anyone know where can i find a list of laptops supported by xubuntu? | 21:27 |
| genii | chewit: If you had a larger amount of ram, you could make a ramdisk and run some part of your fs from it. | 21:27 |
| chewit | oh | 21:29 |
| cody-somerville | Haris_, Xubuntu should run just fine on most laptops | 21:31 |
| Haris_ | thnx cody... i was thinking about installing ubuntu | 21:31 |
| Haris_ | but seems like it doesnt really go well on hp 530, the lptp i have | 21:32 |
| tweaksource | the hp530 is about the same specs as my gateway mx8530 and i have no problems with ubuntu. | 21:34 |
| Haris_ | so there is hope for me :) | 21:34 |
| tweaksource | In the past, I had to tweak drivers for IPW2200 and /or ATI divers, but not for the last few releases | 21:34 |
| J_Litewski | SiDi, /usr/include/ doesn't have a libnotify folder | 21:35 |
| tweaksource | Xubuntu may run smoother for you. Try both live discs! | 21:35 |
| SiDi | J_Litewski: it does here | 21:35 |
| SiDi | install libnotify-dev | 21:35 |
| J_Litewski | ah | 21:35 |
| tweaksource | Is there a boot code to run 'buntu live from ram? | 21:36 |
| genii | chewit: If you feel brave you can also use apt-build on the apps you most often are using. With an apt-build.conf file specifying compiler options which will build those apps tailored to your specific machine. But the gains overall are marginal. | 21:36 |
| artistxe | tweaksource, you mean like Puppy ? | 21:37 |
| Haris_ | @tweaksource: thnx... will try both of them | 21:37 |
| tweaksource | Or , mandriva, etc. | 21:37 |
| chewit | ok genii, thanks | 21:37 |
| genii | chewit: np | 21:37 |
| tweaksource | MCNLive runs GREAT from ram. Ubuntu would smoke! | 21:38 |
| artistxe | not that I am aware of. that would be a plus that would not go unmentioned | 21:38 |
| artistxe | MCNLive ? | 21:38 |
| tweaksource | http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=mcnlive | 21:39 |
| tweaksource | Mandriva has improved a lot. | 21:39 |
| artistxe | KDE running from ram ? | 21:39 |
| tweaksource | Ubuntu still rules. | 21:39 |
| tweaksource | Yes, KDE from ram. | 21:39 |
| tweaksource | From usb flashdrive, no less. | 21:39 |
| J_Litewski | heh, Xubuntu would fly running from RAM | 21:40 |
| artistxe | not really a KDE fan here. check the name of this room ;) | 21:40 |
| J_Litewski | plus a SSD = epic | 21:40 |
| tweaksource | I agree, J_Litewski. | 21:40 |
| artistxe | J_Litewski, pfft. check out one of the many Puppy distros | 21:41 |
| tweaksource | Is puppy rpm-based? | 21:41 |
| J_Litewski | i mean, when i get my dream computer, Xubuntu will fly (since most of it will be run from RAM/GPU/NPU) | 21:42 |
| tweaksource | Quad-core netbook = dream-PC | 21:42 |
| tweaksource | What's NPU? | 21:43 |
| artistxe | tweaksource, no. but there is a way to get rpm and deb packages I have heard | 21:43 |
| J_Litewski | NPU = Network Processing Unit | 21:44 |
| J_Litewski | tweaksource: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=14819787 | 21:44 |
| tweaksource | artistxe: so no package manager at all? | 21:46 |
| tweaksource | thanks, J_Litewski | 21:47 |
| artistxe | tweaksource, yes. PupGet from the Puppy repos | 21:48 |
| artistxe | tweaksource, mind you. I only use it when I need to really need to bang my keyboard and fast switching between apps. I rolled my own version which I appropriately nickname " SlutPuppy" | 21:51 |
| zerothis | how often has this happened? <http://digg.com/linux_unix/Proprietary_Software_Can_Kill_You?FC=PRCK4> | 21:52 |
| tweaksource | Copy that. I've rolled a couple of custom distros. I'll check out the Puppy, too. | 21:53 |
| tweaksource | Remastersys works for me in ubuntu. | 21:53 |
| tweaksource | Peace out! | 21:54 |
| artistxe | later | 21:54 |
| J_Litewski | 51 packages need to be installed to use libnotify-dev | 22:14 |
| charlie-tca | heh, sounds like gnome again? | 22:16 |
| J_Litewski | heh | 22:17 |
| J_Litewski | i'm going to remove wine and most bluetooth support | 22:17 |
| * SiDi cries. | 22:21 | |
| J_Litewski | since my lappy doesn't have bluetooth support, it's useless | 22:22 |
| MarcPV | hi there | 22:35 |
| BSE | SiDi: dont cry, little one.. it will be ok, uncle Tux will help you | 22:49 |
| SiDi | meh ! :P | 22:50 |
| tobi | I have a problem with acpi events | 23:09 |
| tobi | I've added a file to /etc/acpi/events | 23:09 |
| tobi | and the event is fired | 23:09 |
| tobi | I can see it with acpi_listen | 23:09 |
| tobi | but the script isn't started | 23:09 |
| JPohlmann | Is the script marked executable? | 23:13 |
| JPohlmann | How does it look like? | 23:13 |
| tobi | /etc/acpi/events/thinkpad-swivel-down | 23:14 |
| tobi | event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00005009 | 23:14 |
| tobi | action=/etc/acpi/thinkpad-swivel-down.sh | 23:14 |
| tobi | and i can run thinkpad-swivel-down.shfrom the bash | 23:14 |
| JPohlmann | As root or whatever user runs acpid? | 23:16 |
| tobi | how can I check? | 23:17 |
| JPohlmann | ls -la /etc/acpi/thinkpad-swivel-down.sh | 23:18 |
| JPohlmann | Is the file in /etc/acpi/events executable as well? | 23:18 |
| JPohlmann | I'm not sure it has to be but you never know ... | 23:18 |
| tobi | no, no file in /etc/acpi/events is executable | 23:18 |
| JPohlmann | Hm, ok. | 23:18 |
