I suspect the linux native drivers are the culprit. However, when I install ndiswrapper, I get no option for it. [05:11] I can connect to the local wifi (home) network. [05:11] I'm using the ndiswrapper package from the ndiswrapper site [05:12] did u try opening hardware drivers?

[05:32] Voici une liste non exhaustive de toutes les nouveautés [05:32] what is this [05:32] - - [05:52] i am getting an error when I load a CD, it claims: "Could not start process Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said" Unknown protocal [09:58] hmm say i have an mediacenter with xubuntu, would i be able to play an .avi file by ssh'ing from my laptop ? [10:00] the file is on your lappy ? [10:00] i think you can with vlc / totem [10:00] No it's on my mediacenter [10:00] I wanna play it on the mediacenter which is connected to my lcd tv [10:00] aw [10:00] Erm thats a good question :P [10:00] on what display you want it to be shown? [10:00] If it supports URI's and sftp then yeh :P [10:00] I wanna play it on the mediacenter / my lcd tv [10:00] do you want to see it on your laptop, or on your mediacenter? [10:01] i just don't wanna have to use vnc like i am right now with windows :( [10:02] are you running X on mediacenter? [10:02] and what is on screen? [10:02] well, i'm not running anything yet, going to install xubuntu jaunty if it's possible [10:03] is that lcd tv or computer tft display? [10:03] and how it's connected to computer? [10:03] * SiDi dunnoes what the hell a media center is [10:03] my mediacenter (just an computer which i use for playing movies/music ;)) is connected to my LCD TV trough VGA [10:04] SiDi, just computer, but used for watching tv, etc [10:04] nothing fancy, SiDi ;) [10:04] Slonkie, then you most like would run X [10:04] Slonkie: then what do you use to play vids on your media center ? [10:04] something like totem/vlc ? [10:05] well atm i'm using vlc @ windows, and i'd prefer vlc in xubuntu too :). [10:05] cause vlc supports sftp streams if i'm right ^^ [10:05] what would i need sftp stream for? [10:05] or either you can create a mountpoint on your media center to access your other pc [10:05] the .avi file is on the mediacenter [10:05] and for X, if there is no app that is running ull-screen mode, you can start any X app with remote ssh [10:05] Slonkie hmm say i have an mediacenter with xubuntu, would i be able to play an .avi file by ssh'ing from my laptop ? [10:05] ok [10:05] the file is on the media center [10:05] T_T [10:06] i wanna ssh to the mediacenter (instead of vnc) [10:06] i thought you wanted to pick the file via sftp from your lappy to your media center T_T [10:06] DISPLAY=:0.0 mplayer myfile.avi [10:06] * SiDi goes bed.

[12:46] to up/down [12:46] the usual fader bar [12:48] okay, i don't know how to get the old one back [12:49] maybe its a bug [12:49] you chould add the "mixer" which makes you able to up/down too, just place the mouse over the icon and scroll [12:49] nah i don't think it's a bug [12:50] im a rookie, so i dont really know what is a bug... ;) [12:50] i already place the mixer but i dont want the window to pop up anytime [12:50] well just place the mouse at the mixer and scroll up down using the scroll [12:51] don't click the mixer [12:51] You chould also bind buttons for up/down :).

[12:59] I'm trying to install Xubuntu via Wubi on my second PC [12:59] its RAM is 256 MB [13:00] when i try to run the installation, it says that i have only 255 MB [13:00] and then fails [13:00] i'll show you the error, wait a moment [13:02] writelines() agrument must be sequence of strings [13:02] so, what i can do to install xubuntu? [13:19] i'm little busy, but thanks a lot Slomkie [13:19] Slonkie [13:39] anyone here [13:39] i need help [13:39] what is gnome? [13:40] its some kind of creature [13:40] of the mithology [13:40] o ya? [13:40] as big as a dwarf [13:40] yeh [13:41] but they live in the forests ! [13:41] i think is a desktop enviroment [13:41] (gnome is a desktop environment, just aswell as xfce) [13:41] i think you are teling lies [13:41] some kind o [13:41] f [13:41] creature? [13:41] im not stuppid [13:42] so you all use xgace? [14:25] xubuntu doesn't configure X correctly for my screen/video card. I've got three 'stripes' of screen - the left side, and then two copies of the right side, the whole centre of the screen is missing, so I can't see what to click on in the menus to fix it. Any suggestions? [14:43] blue_sky, do you know what your graphics card is? [14:44] Pres-Gas: It's been a long time since I had to config it. It's an ATI of some kind, 16MB ram, the screen is 1600x1200 [14:46] Can you get to one of the virtual ttys (ctrl+alt+F2 for example) and log in? [14:47] yes [14:49] blue_sky, run "lshw -class display" and tell me the vendor and product. [14:50] Pres-Gas: I was just switching to a VT and I've a [14:50] lost all display, gimme a minute! [14:52] np, blue_sky [14:52] Pres-Gas: had to do a hard reset, just booting... [14:55] Pres-Gas: OK. It says: Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x [14:56] Pres-Gas: Forgot to say, definitely and ATI [15:02] Well, I do see this item based on your card, blue_sky: [15:03] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/old-laptop-new-ubuntu-no-decent-screen-resolution-658417/ [15:03] OK, looking it up [15:04] blue_sky, check this one out too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-r128/+bug/284309 [15:04] OK [15:05] I know it all works, it's been running Debian for many years, just don't remember how! [15:05] Yeah, Ubu has not been writing a Xorg.conf for a bit...you may have to hand hold it by actually making that file, blue_sky [15:06] Pres-Gas: Yeah, OK, I may re-boot with an old Knoppix disk here that I know works fine, and extract the info I need under that. Thanks for your help [15:07] NP...sorry it was not an easy fix [15:14] god i'm attractive [15:15] !offtopic [15:15] #xubuntu is the Xubuntu support channel, #xubuntu-devel for discussion regarding development of Xubuntu, and #xubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [15:20] Pres-Gas: Just a quick FYI, that first link you gave me has led to a solution to the problem. Nice clear 1600x1200 24bit display, instead of a chopped about 800x600... Nice! Thanks again. [15:29] blue_sky, w00t! [15:29] I wondered about that [15:29] Note the 2nd still says this is a bug [15:29] ...but as long as you can hand-hold it, all is well [16:06] Hi. I have installed Photoshop Elements 6 using 'wine'. The installation went fine, with no problems. However, when I started Elements and attempted to register the product I got an error message saying "We were unable to connect to Adobe to register your product". I have no problems with my internet connection and JaveScript enabled in Firefox. Has anyone experienced any such problems? [16:09] ruadh, is Photoshop Elements actually attempting to open up a browser? [16:09] Pres-Gas, No. But I guess it needs too [16:10] too/to [16:10] ...and it is likely wanting to open up a windows browser, ruadh...which you do not have because you are running linux. [16:11] Pres-Gas, ok, thanks [16:11] ruadh, I would guess that or it is wanting to talk via its own client, which may not be fully implemented since you are in wine [16:11] See if you can register it more manually from adobe.com [16:12] Pres-Gas, Will do. Thanks for your advice [16:12] Hope you get it going [16:12] :) [16:12] ruadh, have you tried the gimp? [16:13] It has more features than Elements, I believe [16:13] Pres-Gas, I am not keen on gimp, never have been. [16:14] May I ask why, ruadh? [17:02] Hi [17:02] Gnome\XFCE is the only diffrence between ubuntu and xubuntu ? [17:06] petur, there are different other utilities installed, ie Thunderbird instead of Evolution...but they both come from the same software repositories... [17:07] so an ubuntu install can be set up like xubuntu and vice versa [17:32] hi. i have a question that i had trouble googling.. i'm running xubuntu on a laptop, and i was wondering if there's a way to preserve the aspect ratio when changing the display resolution? [18:02] Anyone here able to browse files with bluetooth to their mobilephones with xubuntu? [18:02] Slonkie, was with intrepid at least, haven't tried in jaunty. [18:03] I'm haven't been able to do in either of the versions [18:03] I'm only able to send files :/ [18:03] right. [18:07] you'll need gnome-obex-ftp [18:07] and bluez-gnome [18:07] afair [18:08] and it was working just fine here last time i checked [18:08] For my problem? :) [18:10] if it is.. There is no gnome-obex-ftp package :( [18:12] gnome-vfs-obexftp [18:14] Thanks [18:15] hi [18:15] just a question [18:15] i've just switced from ubuntu to xubuntu [18:15] Hello [18:15] Feel free to ask [18:16] That diden't help unfortunaitly, SiDi. :( [18:16] i cannot find on systray the volulume control icon as in ubuntu [18:16] i found mixer applet but it's not immediate as in ubuntu [18:16] i know it's a stupid thing [18:17] !bluetooth [18:17] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [18:17] !obex [18:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about obex [18:17] Slonkie, there should be howto's somewhere... it's doable for sure anyways [18:17] F3r0X, you got the mixer applet atm ? [18:17] Thanks [18:17] F3r0X, you can scroll it up / down to increase/decrease volume [18:18] yes [18:18] but i have to click it and then change volume [18:18] does it exists something more immediate? [18:18] hops [18:18] F3r0X, scroll it with your mouse [18:18] F3r0X, if you're under jaunty, you can also try to install xfce4-xfapplet-plugin and then add an xfapplet, then go to the applet's properties and turn it into a volume applet [18:19] ok [18:19] ... [18:19] sorry [18:19] it works [18:19] :) [18:19] :p [18:20] good start with xubunutu :) [18:31] another question [18:31] my video card is not detected [18:31] with lspci this is the result [18:32] 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon X1650 Pro (rev 9e) [18:47] is there a way to change the way xubuntu handles when the computer overheats? [18:49] i'm tired of my lappy shutting down when it overheats. i would like it to subspend itself instead [18:58] Uh, how hot is it getting? [18:59] not sure [18:59] it just starting happening [18:59] I think at some point the CPU will just shut the whole thing down (> 100C?) [18:59] after i took the cmos battery out [19:00] The bios settings aren't the same as before, then? [19:01] not sure [19:02] the only thing i change in the bios is the startup settings\ [19:02] i'll check though [19:02] brb [19:06] nothing in BIOS [19:07] can you run xfce4-sensors? [19:07] i'll try [19:08] installing it now [19:09] i think it's the crappy design of the dell inspiron 1000 [19:11] ACPI/THRM is 83.0 C [19:11] thats kinda high [19:12] that's not right [19:15] yeah, that's pretty high [19:15] the fan is going full throttle too? [19:16]
