[00:12] <artistxe> Walzmyn, what does your .dmrc file read ???
[00:19] <artistxe> Walzmyn ?
[00:27] <jmichaelx> upon log-in, in xubuntu jaunty, i am being met with a good dozen or so error notifications saying, "unable to contact the xfce trash service". would anyone know how this might be corrected??
[00:35] <MTec007> where can i change my settings for my system fan temps? it goes to 64/65C before the fan kicks on. thats incredibly dangerous.
[00:39] <MTec007> i'd rather leave the fan running non stop but i dont know if that is smart.
[00:43] <zoredache> Running it all the time wouldn't hurt as long as you don't mind replacing the fan every 2-3 years...  Dunno how to change the settings though.
[00:43] <meeesche> Hey there
[00:44] <meeesche> soo... linux!
[00:44] <zoredache> !hi | meeesche
[00:44] <meeesche> thanks
[00:45] <meeesche> is this said "freenode IRC Network"?
[00:46] <knome> meeesche, yes.
[00:46] <meeesche> sweet
[00:48] <jmichaelx> upon log-in, in xubuntu jaunty, i am being met with a good dozen or so error notifications saying, "unable to contact the xfce trash service". would anyone know how this might be corrected??
[00:49] <meeesche> does anyone know of a linux program to map network drives?
[00:50] <zoredache> meeesche: linux doesn't have drive letters like windows.  You mount a network filesystem into the existing folder structure.  If you want to access windows shares you probably should be looking at smbfs.
[00:51] <meeesche> right, the drives usually are accessed by windows.
[00:51] <meeesche> for instance: n:\ or s:\
[00:53] <R1cochet_> since i moved to 9.04 i cant use the volume controls on my hp notebook. anyway that i can restore their function?
[00:55] <meeesche> I had a problem with my laptop led lights, and there was a "fix" available via synaptics
[00:55] <meeesche> seems like a similar problem
[00:56] <meeesche> is synaptics just unusable on live cd?
[00:59] <meeesche> :P
[01:00] <yeason> I'm at a loss here... does anybody know why/have solution for clipping when watching movies on a monitor set as secondary monitor? basically I get a horizontal separation in the image aka horizontal clipping
[01:00] <yeason> I'm using the nvidia-glx-180 drivers, I have it all configured and set to use a 60hz refresh rate(the highest_
[01:01] <yeason> err... that was supposed to be 'TV set as second monitor"
[01:02] <knome> yeason, different ratio resolution maybe?
[01:03] <yeason> perhaps... although it works fine in windows, which is the frustrating thing
[01:03] <yeason> it also doesn't appear to happen 100% of the time...
[18:11] <xub> hi everyone, this is my first time here, didn't even know there was a xubuntu chan ;p
[18:11] <xub> wow, a lot more calmer here hehe
[18:11] <R1cochet_> yep welcome
[18:11] <xub> thx
[18:13] <xub> i have a minor question, just now my CD was spinning mad because i think i started a read-intensive process, the whole system reacted really slow,
[18:13] <xub> so in the future, where can i see what components are using max CPU and max write/read?
[18:14] <Myrtti> applications - system - system monitor
[18:15] <xub> thx, but oh dear, i can't find the applications at the top, and i can't add it with '+add new items' when i right click, how can this be resolved?
[18:17] <R1cochet_> its xfce menu
[18:18] <xub> i doubt it's xfce since it says in the 2.26.1
[18:19] <R1cochet_> r u on xubuntu or ubuntu?
[18:19] <xub> and strangely enough it says that i have ubuntu, but that's maybe because xubuntu is based on ubuntu? :S
[18:19] <xub> release 9.04 (jaunty)
[18:19] <R1cochet_> r u on xubuntu or ubuntu?
[18:20] <R1cochet_> u need the menu drop down in the panel right?
[18:20] <xub> well, that's the strange thing, the wallpaper is 100% xubuntu, but in system monitor it says ubuntu
[18:20] <xub> yea
[18:20] <R1cochet_> yes they all say ubuntu in sys mon
[18:20] <R1cochet_> rt click on panel add> xfce menu
[18:20] <R1cochet_> !
[18:20] <xub> ah, phew, thanx for clearing that up ;p
[18:21] <xub> let's see, configuring...
[18:23] <xub> yeah that's exactly what i was looking for, thank you very much, R1cochet_ !
[18:24] <R1cochet_> np
[18:37] <Carlis> Hi
[18:37] <R1cochet_> hi
[18:37] <raevol> hi
[18:38] <Carlis> I need to install a flash, I already downloaded it but I don`t know to install it in xubuntu
[18:38] <Carlis> How do i do it ?
[18:39] <Carlis> anybody can help me ?
[18:39] <xub> carlis
[18:39] <xub> you need to go to youtube.com
[18:40] <Carlis> ok
[18:40] <Carlis> and then ?
[18:40] <xub> and select a random video, preferably about linus torvalds talking about LIBERTA!!!
[18:40] <xub> ok sorry
[18:40] <xub> so you have to view a video
[18:40] <xub> and there it will say (instead of video) that you don't have the right software
[18:40] <xub> with a link, you follow that link (leads to adobe)
[18:40] <Carlis> I need to install the flash
[18:40] <raevol> noooooooooooo
[18:40] <xub> yes i know
[18:40] <raevol> xub no
[18:40] <xub> wat
[18:41] <raevol> carlis
[18:41] <xub> :S
[18:41] <raevol> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:41] <xub> oh
[18:41] <R1cochet_> ty raevol
[18:41] <xub> that's ... a possibility ;p
[18:41] <R1cochet_> xubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:41] <R1cochet_> thats the answer
[18:42] <xub> damn i just see that my firefox has crashed or else i would google what 'xubuntu-restricted-extras' means
[18:42] <Carlis> ok
[18:42] <raevol> there is no package named that, it's just ubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:42] <Carlis> Thank you for ur help
[18:43] <raevol> np
[18:43] <xub> no problem, i'm sorry for the noob-support i was trying to give ;p
[18:43] <xub> i'm not as an advanced user myself, but am glad to share the knowledge that i've already obtained
[18:43] <raevol> no worries xub, i've just been down that road of tears :)
[18:43] <R1cochet_> umm i have xubuntu-restricted-extras installed
[18:44] <raevol> that exists?
[18:44] <raevol> well, the other works ttoo
[18:44] <xub> carlis, if you are wondering what it is:
[18:44] <xub> Installing this package will pull in support for MP3 playback and decoding, Java runtime environment, Microsoft fonts, Flash plugin, DVD playback, and LAME (to create compressed audio files).
[18:45] <xub> Please note that this does not install libdvdcss2, and will not let you play encrypted DVDs. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs.
[18:46] <xub> maybe it's best if i do that as well, but seeing as i have a liveCD running it would be pretty useless lol
[18:46] <R1cochet_> lol yes it would
[18:46] <R1cochet_> but u will get to watch a dvd :)
[18:47] <xub> well actually, this says otherwise: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/xubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:48] <xub> but i'm gonna use vlc to watch video's so i'm not gonna worry about that anyways :P
[18:49] <xub> damn, vlc portable is just soo ftw, pack it on your usb, grab your external drive, and watch almost everything at someone else's comp <3
[18:49] <R1cochet_> lol
[18:51] <titan_ark> but vlc doesnt play VCDs and DVDs :S
[18:51] <titan_ark> why is that
[18:52] <xub> that's weird, it has to normally...
[18:52] <xub> (at least on a XP machine)
[18:53] <R1cochet_> u need libdvdread4
[18:53] <R1cochet_> and libdvdccss2
[18:53] <Carlis> ok xub
[18:53] <Carlis> Thank you for ur help
[18:53] <xub> wow, even for VLC? didn't VLC incorporate all the codecs within itself?
[18:54] <R1cochet_> those r codecs
[18:54] <R1cochet_> not decss
[18:54] <xub> aah, ok
[18:54] <xub> of course, for encrypted dvd's
[18:54] <titan_ark> on xp yes it does
[18:55] <R1cochet_> u have to install lidvdread4 then after that u can install libdvdcss2
[18:55] <titan_ark> i meant on xubuntu
[18:55] <R1cochet_> grab it through synaptic
[18:55] <titan_ark> cool shall do :)
[18:55] <xub> interesting, learned something again today ^_^
[18:57] <xub> * making a persistent USB startup disk *
[18:57] <xub> * fingers crossed *  ;p
[18:58] <titan_ark> R1cochet: noob query. how do i do it from the terminal?
[18:58] <titan_ark> cant seem to get the apt get command right :S
[18:58] <xub> my guess would be apt install ...
[18:59] <xub> no w8
[18:59] <xub> sudo apt-get install [ ... ]
[18:59] <R1cochet_> sudo apt-get install "package"
[18:59] <xub> ^_^
[18:59] <titan_ark> ah yeah the hypen "-"
[18:59] <titan_ark> :| foolish me :(
[18:59] <xub> no reason to feel foolish, you must be glad that you're learning :)
[18:59] <xub> and you're able to learn!
[19:00] <xub> and so am i
[19:00] <titan_ark> :D
[19:00] <xub> (i hope) :P
[19:00] <titan_ark> okay i get an error: couldnt find package lidvdread4
[19:00] <xub> ok let me try
[19:01] <R1cochet_> what version r u on?
[19:01] <titan_ark> 9.04 jaunty
[19:01] <R1cochet_> it might libdvdread3 for u
[19:01] <R1cochet_> nope then its 4
[19:01] <R1cochet_> u might need to add the repo
[19:01] <R1cochet_> see if synaptic pulls it up
[19:01] <xub> same here on the terminal
[19:01] <titan_ark> i did a "sudo apt-get install lidvdread4"
[19:01] <titan_ark> and got that msg
[19:02] <xub> let's see if we get the same thing on the synaptic...
[19:02] <titan_ark> and how do i do that :P
[19:02] <titan_ark> absolute noob, please dont mind
[19:03] <xub> menu > system > synaptic package manager
[19:03] <R1cochet_> apps>system>ssynaptic
[19:03] <xub> !synaptic
[19:03] <xub> it's basically a graphical interface of package installing etc.
[19:03] <titan_ark> oh yeah yeah, got it
[19:03] <R1cochet_> in the quick search field type in "libdvdread"
[19:03] <titan_ark> pardon my ignorance
[19:04] <R1cochet_> it should pull it up
[19:04] <xub> titan, you should see: libdvdread4 - library for reading DVDs
[19:04] <R1cochet_> xub do u have it?
[19:05] <xub> [installing...]
[19:05] <xub> libdvdnav4 (version 4.1.3-3) will be installed
[19:05] <xub> libdvdread4 (version 4.1.3-4ubuntu2) will be installed
[19:05] <titan_ark> empty :S
[19:06] <xub> what is empty titan, the search results?
[19:06] <titan_ark> okay got it
[19:06] <titan_ark> typo :P
[19:07] <xub> no prob, go ahead and mark the package for installation and press 'Apply' on the top button bar
[19:07] <titan_ark> it already seems to be marked!
[19:09] <xub> hmm, that's odd, well then go ahead and press Apply then, you should see in the properties that 2 files will be installed
[19:09] <xub> libdvdnav4 (version 4.1.3-3) will be installed
[19:09] <xub> and
[19:09] <xub> libdvdread4 (version 4.1.3-4ubuntu2) will be installed
[19:09] <titan_ark> it says it is already installed
[19:10] <xub> lol so i guess your terminal command worked after all ;p
[19:10] <titan_ark> tried again in terminal and got this: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[19:10] <titan_ark> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[19:11] <xub> you could of course re-install it (i think it can be done in the synap)...
[19:11] <titan_ark> yess
[19:11] <titan_ark> *yes, can do that
[19:12] <titan_ark> but what does that "lock" error mean?
[19:12] <xub> i guess that or the package is still in the install process, or that the package is still in use?
[19:12] <xub> but tbh, i dunno myself
[19:13] <titan_ark> hmm
[19:13] <titan_ark> shall try it l8r :) thanks
[19:13] <xub> all i know is that i'll have a DAMN hard time figuring out how to turn xubuntu into Ableton Live workhorse ;p
[19:14] <titan_ark> :O
[19:15] <xub> but no prob titan, if one seeks insight, one must learn ;)
[19:15] <titan_ark> well said :D
[19:15] <xub> and that's exactly what i'll be doing in the next few months (going to do an audio engineering degree)
[19:16] <xub> so bye bye social life, and hello text, coffee and synthesizers in the endless nights :P
[19:16] <titan_ark> :D
[19:17] <titan_ark> goodluck with that
[19:17] <xub> thanks a lot, will definitely need it :P
[19:17] <titan_ark> :D
[19:17] <xub> and you good luck in understanding xubuntu, i'm off to try to see if my persistent install on a USB stick has succeded
[19:18] <xub> oi oi
[19:18] <titan_ark> sure
[19:18] <titan_ark> cya
[19:26] <Carlis> Hi

[19:28] <Carlis> charlie-tca can you help me ?
[19:28] <Carlis> Hi ????
[19:29] <Myrtti> Carlis: what are you trying to install?
[19:31] <craigbass1976> What would I use to remote in to a linux box running gnome?
[19:32] <Myrtti> depends on what you want to do
[19:32] <craigbass1976> Like VNC
[19:33] <Carlis> I am trying to install a flash
[19:33] <Myrtti> then if you have vnc running on the linux boxen at home, use any vnc client...
[19:34] <Carlis> I want to see it in firefox
[19:34] <Carlis> in youtube page
[19:34] <Carlis> How do i do Myrtti ??
[19:35] <Myrtti> !flash | Carlis
[19:38] <titan_ark_> now that was an amazing end to the match B)
[19:38] <titan_ark_> oops wrong forum, sorry
[19:39] <Carlis> ok
[19:39] <Carlis> Thank you for ur help
[20:10] <carlis> Hi
[20:10] <carlis> How do i enable the Third-party software repository ???
[20:11] <charlie-tca> Go to Applications -> System -> Software Sources
[20:11] <patrick> hi
[20:11] <carlis> wait please
[20:11] <charlie-tca> make sure the first 4 items on Ubuntu Software are checked
[20:12] <charlie-tca> !hi | patrick
[20:12] <patrick> when i edited xorg.conf Display modes "1024x768" xubuntu won't fit in the screen
[20:12] <patrick> what is happening
[20:12] <patrick> ?
[20:13] <charlie-tca> carlis: The second tab should be Third-Party Software. You click add and type or copy and paste the source there and check it
[20:13] <charlie-tca> patrick: what size screen do you have?
[20:14] <patrick> 15"
[20:14] <charlie-tca> sounds like the DPI might be wrong. Is the text big?
[20:14] <patrick> not really
[20:15] <charlie-tca> try this is a tty or terminal: xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Xft/DPI -s -1
[20:15] <patrick> ok
[20:15] <charlie-tca> If the fonts are right, you got something wrong with the mode settings
[20:17] <patrick> it says unable to convert "-l" to type "gint"
[20:17] <carlis> charlie-tca: I am trying to do these steps: Enable the Third-party software repository if you have not yet done so.
[20:18] <carlis> Install the package adobe-flashplugin
[20:18] <carlis> Restart your browser. Flash should now work.
[20:18] <charlie-tca> Are you using Synaptic Package Manager?
[20:19] <carlis> I don`t know if i have to use it
[20:19] <carlis> go to this webpage: http://www.mibbit.com/chat/?server=irc.freenode.net&channel=%23xubuntu
[20:20] <charlie-tca> It makes it easier to install flash. I don't know what page you are following, but you should be able to check those sources on the first tab and then install flash
[20:20] <charlie-tca> I can't access it. I am not a member of mibbit
[20:21] <charlie-tca> !flash
[20:21] <charlie-tca> is what I use
[20:22] <charlie-tca> You can use Synaptic Package Manager and install flash using flashplugin-nonfree
[20:22] <charlie-tca> It installs it from Adobe
[20:22] <carlis> ok
[20:29] <carlis> It worked charlie-tca
[20:29] <charlie-tca> Great! I am glad you got it.
[20:29] <carlis> Thank yu for ur help charlie-tca
[20:29] <charlie-tca> You are welcome
[20:29] <carlis> Bye Charlie-tca
[20:30] <charlie-tca> Have a good day!
[20:35] <patrick> still cant see the entire screen
[20:37] <patrick> .....
[20:43] <patrick> when i restored the original xorg.conf the system booted at high resolution
[20:44] <patrick> i edited the xorg.conf to make 1024x768 the resolution everytime the system boots
[20:45] <whyme> hi everyone
[20:45] <patrick> hi
[20:45] <patrick> i have problem but i can't solve
[20:50] <patrick> i cant reset the screen resolution anyone pls help
[20:53] <whyme> hi, can anyone please explain to me how to effectively format my usb stick?
[20:53] <whyme> i'm trying to do it with gparted, but still all my files are there after formats of fat32 and fat16
[21:18] <whyme> yelloh... anyone here?
[21:41] <akshayshah> sorry - are you still there, whyme?
[21:49] <whyme> akshayshah: yeah still here... kinda, but i think i've resolved the problem (using mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1)
[21:51] <whyme> so now, after hours upon hours of reading, i'm off to make a USB persistent install and cross every finger i got ....
[22:25] <Wunderkind> how do i stop the session and startup-options windows from being open everytime i restart my machine...
[22:25] <Wunderkind> silly question- i realise...
[22:28] <zoredache> Wunderkind: remove everything under .cache/sessions/
[22:29] <Wunderkind> merci
[22:29] <zoredache> Wunderkind: Wunderkind you also may want to update .config/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc and set SaveOnExit  to false
[22:34] <Wunderkind> how do i remove all the excess apps from the menu list?
[22:35] <Wunderkind> in gnome it's pretty straight forward
[23:14] <pteague> any ideas why i would get a "Permission denied" error when trying to do `crontab -e` ?
[23:30] <atisandev> Hello! Can anybody give me a hand with synaptics driver. I want to do a horizontal scroll with no extra applications. Only configuring the driver. Now I have two finger vertical scroll by default with xubuntu 9.04
[23:42] <meeeshka> hey everybody,
[23:42] <meeeshka> what's that file you can edit to make windows the default OS with dual boot, and change the time delay and stuff
[23:43] <zoredache> /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:46] <meeeshka> thank you!
[23:46] <pteague> figured out what my problem was...  `chmod g+s /usr/bin/crontab` fixed it
[23:47] <meeeshka> see yall
[23:47] <meeeshka> I LOVE YOU
[23:47] <meeeshka> so much
[23:47] <zoredache> pteague: generally I find it is much better to place a cron fragment in /etc/cron.d instead of using crontab -e
