But when I kill audacious, this panel plugin also is killed, and I have to re-add it when I start back up audacious. [03:43] hmm [03:44] butterbean, got the sound to work btw. [03:44] strange bug [03:44] cool [03:44] but this panel thing is pretty strange also [03:45] I was thinking of making a script to start the panel plugin and audacious at the same time. [03:45] no luck though [05:01] 'lo, anyone home?

[08:13] is it that much worth installing over the other "buntus"? [08:15] i dont care about visual effects [08:15] anyone here? [08:23] Xubuntu uses Xfce4 [08:23] not gnome [08:26] for a triplecore 64bit pc, wold you notice any real performance using xfce xubuntu, instead of gnome,kde [08:28] <_Pete_> at least compared to KDE [08:29] <_Pete_> 4.x.crap version [08:45] I have a P8600 and I find Xubuntu very fast [09:14] Hello :) what is the best way to install Nvidia drivers for Xubuntu ? i don't see any of them in the hardware drivers ... tool ... [09:20] dimitree, what nvidia card do you have?

Press alt+f2 and run: xfce4-panel | See also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels | Want to theme your panels? See http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/howto-set-a-background-image-for-your-panel/ [13:41] thanks! [13:46] how do i access a bluetooth device after i've added it? [13:48] good question [13:49] there's nothing in the help about bluetooth devices that are mass storage devices [13:50] acorn, do you want to send a file? [13:50] I want to view the files in thunar [13:51] and mount it [13:51] acorn, Applications > System > Remote Filesystems [13:51] acorn, Create an obex connection and enter your device address [13:55] when i right click on the bluetooth icon browse files is greyed out. [13:55] and I don't know what the address of the device is [14:00] acorn, your device should tell you [14:34] Anybody know what to do, when i'm trying to connect to proftpd and it tells me "Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server"." ? [14:36] Slonkie: check the firewall, routing, mtr to the server, check if it has the ftp port open... [14:36] Thanks [14:37] if it's your server, make sure the ftp daemon is running [14:37] The firewall was the problem i see. [17:15] The solution is: how do i do in the update manager shows me to upgrade to xubunut 9.04 ? [17:16] I think thats a question, not a solution [17:16] Carlis, did you install gnome desktop as well? in the login screen, see if there are multiple session options [17:20] I login automatically. I don`t need to write a password [17:20] Carlis, Applications > System > Software Sources [17:21] wait please [17:21] Carlis, On the Updates tab, change the value in the release upgrade dropdown to normal releases [17:22] or App > System > Login window to check what is default session, it should be XFCE if you want to use Xubuntu [17:22] MikeChelen, he wants to upgrade [17:22] MikeChelen, He already has Xubuntu installed [17:23] cody-somerville, maybe his default session is set to gnome though if the xubuntu logo is not showing in upper left corner [17:25] i use Xubuntu but my default is set to LXDE [17:26] IF he wants to upgrade xubuntu, why not just run update-manager -d from the terminal? [17:26] Slonkie, because -d is for the latest development release [17:27] hm okay [17:27] Sorry then, I'll bug out :). [17:32] It was in normal releases already [17:37] The default session is: XFCE [17:47] In the computer whether show me in upper left corner the ubuntu logo the default session is: Run Xclient script [17:48] In the other computer whether show me in upper left cornet the xubuntu logo the default session is: xfce [17:48] may be for that are the difference in both [17:55] hello, every one. i woke up today and got on the laptop, and my sound just isnt working. i dont know why it would have just stopped all of a sudden. [17:58] do u have the speaker in mute MTec007 ? [18:00] nope [18:00] no ? [18:01] its not muted [18:02] I can`t help u then [18:02] sorry [18:02] volume is at 100 % not muted but no sound will play [18:02] ok [18:09] How do i put Gnome desktop in the pc ? [18:10] Do you know it MTec007 ? [18:15] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [18:35] 2 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 ? [19:28] what packages is cupsd.conf in? it's not in cupsys, cupsys-bsd or cups-common. I accidently deleted it when reinstalling cups [19:30] has anyone here successfully gotten flash 10 working? nothing i try works [19:30] unix, flash 10 is working. [19:31] how 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 nothing [19:31] how did you install it? [19:31] install flashplugin-nonfree from the repos [19:31] thats version 9 not ten [19:31] that version works fine, just not 10 [19:31] which ubuntu version? [19:32] 8.04 [19:32] try adobe-flashplugin [19:32] from the repos [19:32] guys i have a problem with xubuntu [19:32] i am loving it by the way [19:33] ugh ok, i ALREADY HAVE THAT PLUGIN WORKING Jesus i wish people would stop suggesting that [19:33] i want flash 10 [19:33] not 9 [19:33] but i cant click links in pidgin for IRC or MSN. It tells me that 'manual' mode has been chosen, but no command has been set [19:33] i have checked preferred applications, firefox is selected there [19:33] its 9.10 btw [19:33] unix: just drop the .so in your users's mozilla dir. but it's of course A LOT slower than the win version [19:34] already did that [19:34] is [19:34] sorry wrong window [19:34] i replaced every instance of the flashplugin-nonfree version with the newest flash 10 plugin [19:34] and it still doesnt work [19:34] after i replace them all then the flashplugin-nonfree doesnt work either [19:35] so i have to uninstall 10, and reinstall 9 [19:35] i just dont think it works period [19:35] 9 works just fine though, i just cant watch anything flash related on myspace since they have swiched to 10 [19:36] That's the right attitude! lol [19:36] any ideas? [19:36] kn100, 9.10 try #ubuntu+1 ;) [19:36] why 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/cups [19:36] i tried every version of the flash 10 install there is, and placed the .so files there, what else can i do? [19:36] SiDi im on xubuntu 9.10, and the glitch does not exist in 9.10 karmic since i just came from that [19:37] unix, you can remove any .so file you left [19:37] absolutely any [19:37] and btw sidi, i tried doing what you said, and the nvidia-glx-new driver didnt work [19:37] then you also remove any gnash instance [19:37] and then, you only install flashplugin-nonfree from the repository [19:37] unix, so which drivers are you on right now ? [19:38] the ones you suggest off nvidias site, which work just fine [19:38] :p [19:38] and which is meant to be the same :p [19:38] and i already have the flashplugin-nonfree working fine, that version is 9, not 10. i need 10 [19:38] guys, why not just get the adobe flash player deb from adobe website? works fine here [19:38] oh, well :/ [19:39] (its version 10 also) [19:39] unix, 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] i have the .deb file on my desktop, and it doesnt work [19:39] kn100, cause he's on 8.04 and it may not have the libs for the latest build of flash ? [19:39] SiDi ahh i see [19:39] and i just uninstalled 9, and then tried to install the .deb, and its still not listing the plugin [19:40] unix, what did it say when installing ? [19:40] the adobe website lists the AFP10 plugin to be compatible with ubuntu 8.04 and above [19:40] and its wierd too, that the nvidia-glx-new package wont work, yet this driver does lol [19:40] and nothing, it successfully installs [19:41] then when i reopen firefox, i check the plugins tab, nothing [19:41] ah well, i really dont know then, sorry :/ [19:41] can someone try to install it, and youll see what i mean [19:42] im on 9.04 ;) [19:42] does it work on 9.04? [19:42] yeh [19:42] but well, im not a flash fan anyways [19:42] http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html [19:42] so that returns 10 then? [19:43] or does it say LNX 9,0,159,0 [19:43] it returns "LNX" .. :/ [19:44] argh i wish i could figure out whats wrong with this [19:44] me too lol [19:45] also compizconfig lists a hell of a lot less in xubuntu than it did in ubuntu [19:45] no compiz-gnome ;) [19:45] i need to go for now [19:46] good luck to both of you [19:46] cya, thanks for the advice on the nvidia drivers [19:46] you're welcome [19:46] will sudo apt-getting compiz-gnome work? [19:47] well im doing it anyway ;) [19:59] Hi [20:00] I have installed Gnome but I don`t see Gnome in the desktop [20:00] How do i put Gnome in the desktop ?´ [20:09] Hi [20:09] How do i put Gnome in the desktop ? [20:13] Anybody know a way to merge alot (And i mean ALOT) of mp3 files into 1 mp3 file? [20:13] I remember a "menu editor" application but I can't find it in 9.04. Where is it? {:-. [20:14] How do i put Gnome in the desktop ? [20:15] anybody can help me ? [20:19] Hi´ [20:19] + [20:19] Who can help me ? [20:20] #ubuntu [20:21] slonkie can u help me ? [20:29] how do I find "multiseat" on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ ? [20:32] sidi ??? [20:32] How do i put Gnome in the desktop ? [20:52] Slonkie: i've done that with wav files using cat. don't know if that would work with mp3's or not. [20:53] Slonkie: have you tried this: http://hublog.hubmed.org/archives/001128.html [20:58] ptizzy i found an application.. mp3wrap, it was great :). [21:06] good evening [21:07] how do I add items to the xfce menu? [21:09] don't know [21:18] Mkop: Applications>Settings>Main Menu [21:19] ptizzy: there's no such menu item [21:21] did right click copy, middle button paste dissaper in 9.04? === Sinister` is now known as Sinister [21:22] Mkop: no "Main Menu"? [21:24] ptizzy: i don't have it in 4.6.1 aswell [21:24] Hmm. Try alacarte from the command line [21:26] ptizzy: it works for xfce menu? [21:27] Ben_Cs: i think so. xubuntu uses the xfce menu, right? [21:29] i'm on xfce 4.6.0 [21:29] ptizzy: right [21:30] works for me, on jaunty [21:35] ptizzy: i'm on hardy. i like the stability of LTS. Sometimes frequent upgrades damaged some features [21:36] ptizzy: and since it's LTS, i have many backports available [21:38] Ben_Cs: makes sense. i wonder if hardy handles netbooks well. i'm about to setup my parents new netbook. stability would be good. [21:40] ptizzy: i would think so. But maybe it's better to install netbooks specific version of ubuntu [21:41] hello [21:41] C'mon, 9.04 isnt vista, it _is_ stable [21:41] Hanthor, heya [21:42] I was wondering how to get compiz up and running in 9.04 [21:42] Ben_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] ptizzy: like easy peasy, eebuntu, ubuntu netbook remix, etc. [21:42] ptizzy, try Moblin too ;) [21:43] ptizzy: yeh, probably UNR will be best [21:43] problem is, it's got to be done while there here this weekend, since they live 7 hours away [21:43] only have so much time to get it right [21:46] hello? do any of you know how to get compix on jaunty? [21:47] Hanthor: i just turned it on in Settings>Window Manager Tweaks and it worked [21:49] compiz fusion? [21:49] it works in the Mint CE [21:49] ptizzy, this isnt compiz fusion [21:49] Hanthor, just install it [21:50] and it'll work? [21:50] doh, nevermind...brain fart [21:50] 2 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 ? [21:51] Slonkie, edit your menu.lst :) [21:51] i think the name of the option is "noacpi" but you should google that [21:53] 11xInkscape + installing a VM = lag [21:58] so if i set the "timeout" to 0, it doesn't show me the grub everytime i boot up? [21:58] I think it will actually remove the timeout xD [21:58] i dont know exactly how to autoboot [21:58] i think grub2 can do it, but maybe not grub1 [21:59] :-/ [21:59] I'll try see if i can find something understandable on google [22:15] can we get 3d with nouveau drivers? [22:18] cemunal, i highly doubt so [22:39] perhaps a silly question, but where did epiphany-webkit go in jaunty? [22:51] zoredache, i think its epiphany itself [22:55] SiDi: the package named epiphany is a game... [22:55] then they dropped webkit ^^ [22:56] the epiphany-gecko package still exists, and epiphany-browser still has epiphany-webkit as a depend... [22:56] But it looks like it is still in karmic and here are even updated versions there.... :| [22:56] funny :] [22:57] it doesn't really matter much, I was just curious [23:12] * duke_Leto is away: Changing my consciousness. [23:16] * zoredache things public away messages are annoying (duke_Leto) [23:16] thinks*... [23:23] * duke_Leto is back (gone 00:11:07) [23:24] duke_Leto, yes please, do not use public away/unaway messages
