kora-chanheya, i'm just thinking about installing a 64 bit version of xubuntu. would you guys recommend using the 8,041 lts version or the new jaunty?02:00
xy|oxkora-chan, if you a little more stability use 8.04, if you want the latest packages use the latest release02:08
KoshB5_I've installed Jaunty on a Compaq 5441 (256M ram, PCI graphics). I'm useing a usb wireless for internet. It connects to the router but not the internet.03:01

Duckslammeranyone know how to disable touch-click on a touchpad?10:18
sixcornershey uhh.. I recently installed xubuntu onto my PS3 and I think I have a problem.. When I double clicked on one of the icons on the desktop to open it, the window flashed open then closed. I did this several times then toggled some option that said 'let Xfce manage my windows' off then back on again.. anyway, now there are no icons on the desktop and I can't bring up the context menu on the desktop. The toolbars on the top and bottom work fine. The windo10:31
sixcornersanyone able to help?10:32
sixcornersAh.. it still does it.. when I go to 'Places' in the top toolbar and click on something like 'File System' it flashes a window then doesn't do anything..10:38
marcPVquestion: what is better for a 256Mb laptop (pentium M 1,50GHz), xubuntu 9.04 or Ubuntu 8.04?10:41
sixcornershmm.. when I login to a different session I get the desktop back (although the windows still don't open correctly). When I log back into the main session, I get the desktop but when I go to open the context menu it goes away..10:48
sixcornersthe desktop background displays fine until I enable window composting.. then the background doesn't redraw itself when I move windows over it..10:51
sixcornersoh.. xfce was toggled off.. I found the setting I guess..10:52
sixcornersnope, not working10:58

artistxeisn't there a default file ( or config) somewhere ?19:31
Duckslammerare you talking to me?19:31
artistxeyes19:32
artistxeDuckslammer : yes19:32
Duckslammerulogd capture the exceptions logged by the firewall and does something with them (whatever you tell it) but you have to tell the firewall to talk to ulogd - how to do that isn't clear to me - the docs say there is a command to iptables, but I don't understand if this works seperately from, or along with, ufw19:33
artistxelooking thru info right now19:35
Duckslammerand I want to tell everybody that wicd beats the tar out of NetworkManager19:35
artistxefunny. I was looking at that. is used in Linux Mint I believe.19:36
artistxeNetworkManager is a gnome applet . I had no problem with it though19:36
Duckslammeron jaunty, it doesn't scan for wifi APs, you have to specify the ssid - this means if you go into a public hotspot you have to ask a windoze user what the network name is - humiliating!!19:37
artistxeDuckslammer,   https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html      ctrl-f "ulogd" on that page19:38
artistxelol. asking a windows user. what a shame !19:39
Duckslammerartist, that page is where i first learned of ulogd, but there is no info on what to do to ufw to make it use ulogd19:40
artistxesorry. mybad.19:40
Duckslammerregarding wicd, it has much nicer interface that gnome networkmanager and more funtionality - plus it uses gtk, no gnome dependencies, so it works in any window manager19:41
artistxeThe above log will also appear in /var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog, and /var/log/kern.log. This behavior can be modified by editing /etc/syslog.conf  appropriately or by installing and configuring ulogd  and using the ULOG target instead of LOG19:41
Duckslammerright!19:41
artistxenow. to change target. fundocs19:41
Duckslammeri'm unclear on what they mean by "ULOG target"19:42
Duckslammerwhat is "fundocs"19:43
artistxesay to config ulogd . do not have it installed but am guessing there is a file somewhere ( has to be)19:43
artistxefundocs is my way of saying "fun documents "  as in unclear19:44
* artistxe coins the term :)19:45
artistxeDuckslammer, sorry I cannot help more at this point.19:46
