anom01yI have this panel plugin called xfce-playercontrol-plugin, which controls audacious (has little play / pause / stop buttons, and shows what is playing).   But when I kill audacious, this panel plugin also is killed, and I have to re-add it when I start back up audacious.03:42

SlonkieThe firewall was the problem i see.14:37
CarlisThe solution is: how do i do in the update manager shows me to upgrade to xubunut 9.04 ?17:15
cody-somervilleI think thats a question, not a solution17:16
MikeChelenCarlis, did you install gnome desktop as well? in the login screen, see if there are multiple session options17:16
CarlisI login automatically. I  don`t need to write a password17:20
cody-somervilleCarlis, Applications > System > Software Sources17:20
Carliswait please17:21
cody-somervilleCarlis, On the Updates tab, change the value in the release upgrade dropdown to normal releases17:21
MikeChelenor App > System > Login window to check what is default session, it should be XFCE if you want to use Xubuntu17:22
cody-somervilleMikeChelen, he wants to upgrade17:22
cody-somervilleMikeChelen, He already has Xubuntu installed17:22
MikeChelencody-somerville, maybe his default session is set to gnome though if the xubuntu logo is not showing in upper left corner17:23
DetroitLibertyPei use Xubuntu but my default is set to LXDE17:25
SlonkieIF he wants to upgrade xubuntu, why not just run update-manager -d from the terminal?17:26
cody-somervilleSlonkie, because -d is for the latest development release17:26
Slonkiehm okay17:27
SlonkieSorry then, I'll bug out :).17:27
CarlisIt was in normal releases already17:32
CarlisThe default session is: XFCE17:37
CarlisIn the computer whether show me in upper left corner the ubuntu logo the default session is: Run Xclient script17:47
CarlisIn the other computer whether show me in upper left cornet the xubuntu logo the default session is: xfce17:48
Carlismay be for that are the difference in both17:48

unixhas anyone here successfully gotten flash 10 working? nothing i try works19:30
knomeunix, flash 10 is working.19:30
unixhow did you install it? i d/led the .deb from adobe, installed it, and it doesnt even list the plugin as active, so i tried manually adding the plugin to the plugins folder, still nothing19:31
unixhow did you install it?19:31
knomeinstall flashplugin-nonfree from the repos19:31
unixthats version 9 not ten19:31
unixthat version works fine, just not 1019:31
knomewhich ubuntu version?19:31
unix8.0419:32
Slonkietry adobe-flashplugin19:32
Slonkiefrom the repos19:32
kn100guys i have a problem with xubuntu19:32
kn100i am loving it by the way19:32
unixugh ok, i ALREADY HAVE THAT PLUGIN WORKING Jesus i wish people would stop suggesting that19:33
unixi want flash 1019:33
unixnot 919:33
kn100but i cant click links in pidgin for IRC or MSN. It tells me that 'manual' mode has been chosen, but no command has been set19:33
kn100i have checked preferred applications, firefox is selected there19:33
kn100its 9.10 btw19:33
firsmunix: just drop the .so in your users's mozilla dir. but it's of course A LOT slower than the win version19:33
unixalready did that19:34
kn100is19:34
kn100sorry wrong window19:34
unixi replaced every instance of the flashplugin-nonfree version with the newest flash 10 plugin19:34
unixand it still doesnt work19:34
unixafter i replace them all then the flashplugin-nonfree doesnt work either19:34
unixso i have to uninstall 10, and reinstall 919:35
unixi just dont think it works period19:35
unix9 works just fine though, i just cant watch anything flash related on myspace since they have swiched to 1019:35
SlonkieThat's the right attitude! lol19:36
kn100any ideas?19:36
SiDikn100, 9.10 try #ubuntu+1 ;)19:36
firsmwhy does apt-get install cups not install cupsd.conf? When I extract the deb I see that there's supposed to be a cupsd.conf in /etc/cups19:36
unixi tried every version of the flash 10 install there is, and placed the .so files there, what else can i do?19:36
kn100SiDi im on xubuntu 9.10, and the glitch does not exist in 9.10 karmic since i just came from that19:36
SiDiunix, you can remove any .so file you left19:37
SiDiabsolutely any19:37
unixand btw sidi, i tried doing what you said, and the nvidia-glx-new driver didnt work19:37
SiDithen you also remove any gnash instance19:37
SiDiand then, you only install flashplugin-nonfree from the repository19:37
SiDiunix, so which drivers are you on right now ?19:37
unixthe ones you suggest off nvidias site, which work just fine19:38
unix:p19:38
SiDiand which is meant to be the same :p19:38
unixand i already have the flashplugin-nonfree working fine, that version is 9, not 10. i need 1019:38
kn100guys, why not just get the adobe flash player deb from adobe website? works fine here19:38
SiDioh, well :/19:38
kn100(its version 10 also)19:39
SiDiunix, then remove the 9 properly and try the 10 from site but theres not much we can do if it doesnt wanna work :/19:39
unixi have the .deb file on my desktop, and it doesnt work19:39
SiDikn100, cause he's on 8.04 and it may not have the libs for the latest build of flash ?19:39
kn100SiDi ahh i see19:39
unixand i just uninstalled 9, and then tried to install the .deb, and its still not listing the plugin19:39
SiDiunix, what did it say when installing ?19:40
kn100the adobe website lists the AFP10 plugin to be compatible with ubuntu 8.04 and above19:40
unixand its wierd too, that the nvidia-glx-new package wont work, yet this driver does lol19:40
unixand nothing, it successfully installs19:40
unixthen when i reopen firefox, i check the plugins tab, nothing19:41
SiDiah well, i really dont know then, sorry :/19:41
unixcan someone try to install it, and youll see what i mean19:41
SiDiim on 9.04 ;)19:42
unixdoes it work on 9.04?19:42
SiDiyeh19:42
SiDibut well, im not a flash fan anyways19:42
unixhttp://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html19:42
unixso that returns 10 then?19:42
unixor does it say LNX 9,0,159,019:43
SiDiit returns "LNX" .. :/19:43
kn100argh i wish i could figure out whats wrong with this19:44
unixme too lol19:44
kn100also compizconfig lists a hell of a lot less in xubuntu than it did in ubuntu19:45
SiDino compiz-gnome ;)19:45
SiDii need to go for now19:45
SiDigood luck to both of you19:46
unixcya, thanks for the advice on the nvidia drivers19:46
SiDiyou're welcome19:46
kn100will sudo apt-getting compiz-gnome work?19:46

Ben_Csgood evening21:06
Mkophow do I add items to the xfce menu?21:07
Ben_Csdon't know21:09
ptizzyMkop: Applications>Settings>Main Menu21:18
Mkopptizzy: there's no such menu item21:19
DetroitLibertyPedid right click copy, middle button paste dissaper in 9.04?21:21
=== Sinister` is now known as Sinister
ptizzyMkop: no "Main Menu"?21:22
Ben_Csptizzy: i don't have it in 4.6.1 aswell21:24
ptizzyHmm.  Try alacarte from the command line21:24
Ben_Csptizzy: it works for xfce menu?21:26
ptizzyBen_Cs: i think so.  xubuntu uses the xfce menu, right?21:27
ptizzyi'm on xfce 4.6.021:29
Ben_Csptizzy: right21:29
ptizzyworks for me, on jaunty21:30
Ben_Csptizzy: i'm on hardy. i like the stability of LTS. Sometimes frequent upgrades damaged some features21:35
Ben_Csptizzy: and since it's LTS, i have many backports available21:36
ptizzyBen_Cs: makes sense.  i wonder if hardy handles netbooks well.  i'm about to setup my parents new netbook.  stability would be good.21:38
Ben_Csptizzy: i would think so. But maybe it's better to install netbooks specific version of ubuntu21:40
Hanthorhello21:41
SiDiC'mon, 9.04 isnt vista, it _is_ stable21:41
SiDiHanthor, heya21:41
HanthorI was wondering how to get compiz up and running in 9.0421:42
ptizzyBen_Cs: I've downloaded UNR to try out.  If that doesn't work, then I'm gonna install xubuntu and try to make it look like their Mac desktop(within reason)21:42
Ben_Csptizzy: like easy peasy, eebuntu, ubuntu netbook remix, etc.21:42
SiDiptizzy, try Moblin too ;)21:42
Ben_Csptizzy: yeh, probably UNR will be best21:43
ptizzyproblem is, it's got to be done while there here this weekend, since they live 7 hours away21:43
ptizzyonly have so much time to get it right21:43
Hanthorhello? do any of you know how to get compix on jaunty?21:46
ptizzyHanthor: i just turned it on in Settings>Window Manager Tweaks and it worked21:47
Hanthorcompiz fusion?21:49
Hanthorit works in the Mint CE21:49
SiDiptizzy, this isnt compiz fusion21:49
SiDiHanthor, just install it21:49
Hanthorand it'll work?21:50
ptizzydoh, nevermind...brain fart21:50
Slonkie2 questions.. 1: Would i be able to make the grub loading time 0 sec or just make grub automaticly boot on my xubuntu partition? 2: I get the error "ACPI not found" or something like that everytime i boot. Would i be able to make xubuntu boot with acpi=no ?21:50
SiDiSlonkie, edit your menu.lst :)21:51
SiDii think the name of the option is "noacpi" but you should google that21:51
SiDi11xInkscape + installing a VM = lag21:53
Slonkieso if i set the "timeout" to 0, it doesn't show me the grub everytime i boot up?21:58
SiDiI think it will actually remove the timeout xD21:58
SiDii dont know exactly how to autoboot21:58
SiDii think grub2 can do it, but maybe not grub121:58
Slonkie:-/21:59
SlonkieI'll try see if i can find something understandable on google21:59
cemunalcan we get 3d with nouveau drivers?22:15
SiDicemunal, i highly doubt so22:18
zoredacheperhaps a silly question, but where did epiphany-webkit go in jaunty?22:39
SiDizoredache, i think its epiphany itself22:51
zoredacheSiDi: the package named epiphany is a game...22:55
SiDithen they dropped webkit ^^22:55
zoredachethe epiphany-gecko package still exists, and epiphany-browser still has epiphany-webkit as a depend...22:56
zoredacheBut it looks like it is still in karmic and here are even updated versions there.... :|22:56
SiDifunny :]22:56
zoredacheit doesn't really matter much, I was just curious22:57
