| louis_ | Could someone here by chance help me with a startup script? (or maybe I'm going about this wrong and that's not even what I need) | 02:48 |
|---|---|---|
| Raggs | hi louis | 02:53 |
| louis_ | Hi raggs | 02:53 |
| louis_ | I guess if I want help you'd like some more details, eh? | 02:53 |
| Raggs | what are you trying to do? | 02:53 |
| louis_ | I wrote two scripts - both called 16-optimizations.sh, located in /etc/acpi/ac.d/ and /etc/acpi/battery.d/ | 02:54 |
| louis_ | They're just scripts to optimize for performance or for battery life, depending on if I'm on AC or battery | 02:54 |
| louis_ | they work great, and everything switches when I change from AC to battery and vice versa | 02:55 |
| louis_ | the problem I am having is, I want on startup, a script to check my current state and to run one of the two scripts depending which I am on | 02:55 |
| louis_ | otherwise, I boot up on battery and my battery script doesn't run until I switch to ac then back to battery | 02:55 |
| louis_ | so they're ONLY running on a power state switch. I tried... many things | 02:56 |
| Raggs | helluva a question that | 02:56 |
| louis_ | I know the script works, because if I bootup and run it manually, it sets my power options correctly | 02:56 |
| louis_ | but for example, I ifconfig eth0 down in my battery script | 02:57 |
| louis_ | because seriously, if I'm using an ethernet cable, I might as well plug in | 02:57 |
| louis_ | but when I first boot, I ifconfig and eth0 is up. so I run my power-optimizations.sh (what I'm trying to get to run on bootup) and then ifconfig again, and eth0 is down as it should be | 02:58 |
| louis_ | I also change my scaling_governor so I've been using that as a reference if it's applied or not, and it's not. | 02:59 |
| louis_ | I've literally been working on this for 6 hours now, and am about to lose it | 02:59 |
| Raggs | i have found that taking a break can help | 02:59 |
| louis_ | I'm not a very experienced linux user, and I last used ubuntu as a primary OS on... warty | 03:00 |
| louis_ | so it's been a while | 03:00 |
| louis_ | I think I must be doing something wrong | 03:00 |
| Raggs | i havent written scripts in a way long time | 03:00 |
| louis_ | it appears that /etc/rc.local does nothing now? | 03:01 |
| louis_ | and I have not the slightest clue on how to write anything for /etc/init.d/ | 03:01 |
| louis_ | well, do you know how to make something run on boot? | 03:01 |
| louis_ | I mean, even if not, thanks for the help. You at least responded to me, which is more than I got in #ubuntu | 03:03 |
| S0210 | The font size of the main top menu does not follow system settings. (Xubuntu 9.04) I also tried to change the fontsize in Tools/Preferences from 9 to 10 to 12 but nothing happened... How do I force Opera to follow the system default font size? | 05:05 |
| Nameless_au | hi. i had centos and vista installed on my laptop, i added a xubuntu install - the centos install no longer appears on GRUB. what can i do to restore it? | 05:25 |
| S0210_ | "DejaVu Sans 12" is the default system font. But some applications menu (Opera, Thunderbird) uses smaller (let's say 4mm) letters for its main top menu and some others uses bigger (let's say 5 mm) fonts. How's that possible? | 06:52 |
| === S0210_ is now known as S0210 | ||
| S0210 | can this be linked anyhow to qtconfig? | 06:54 |
| KittyKatt | I just installed today and I think XUbuntu is having trouble reading my volume slider. | 08:14 |
| KittyKatt | any help? | 08:14 |
| === pod_ is now known as Guest8286 | ||
| R1cochet | KittyKatt: what volume slider? | 08:21 |
| KittyKatt | The hardware one on my | 08:22 |
| KittyKatt | Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5934 laptop. | 08:22 |
| KittyKatt | I've been told it's a problem in HAL. | 08:23 |
| KittyKatt | And, while I know what that is, I have NO idea how to fix it. | 08:23 |
| R1cochet | well i dont know this HAL u speak of but i have a volume slider on my mx500 kb | 08:25 |
| R1cochet | mx5000* | 08:25 |
| R1cochet | and when i installed 9.04 it didnt work either | 08:25 |
| KittyKatt | dangit. | 08:26 |
| R1cochet | however i was able to fix it by adding kb shortcut | 08:26 |
| R1cochet | open.... | 08:26 |
| KittyKatt | lol thanks. | 08:26 |
| R1cochet | apps>settings>xfce4 settings manager | 08:26 |
| KittyKatt | Okay I know where those are. | 08:26 |
| R1cochet | goto keyboard | 08:26 |
| R1cochet | ok cool | 08:26 |
| KittyKatt | I just need ot know the shortcut. | 08:26 |
| R1cochet | now enter this in for..... | 08:27 |
| R1cochet | to raise: amixer -c 0 sset Master 5+ | 08:28 |
| R1cochet | to lower: samcommand as above except 5- | 08:28 |
| R1cochet | that will increase and lower volume by 5 | 08:28 |
| R1cochet | u can change 5 to whatever u like | 08:28 |
| R1cochet | now if u have a mute button that doesnt work try this | 08:28 |
| R1cochet | ..... | 08:28 |
| KittyKatt | XF86AudioLowerVolume | 08:29 |
| R1cochet | amixer -c 0 sset Master toggle | 08:29 |
| KittyKatt | That's what I was looking for. | 08:29 |
| R1cochet | ahh ok | 08:29 |
| KittyKatt | Sweet. | 08:29 |
| KittyKatt | Thanks. | 08:29 |
| R1cochet | well thats the key u press | 08:29 |
| R1cochet | but those r the commands u need to map to the keys | 08:30 |
| KittyKatt | I'm migrating from Linux Mint 7, so this is a bit of a switch. :P | 08:30 |
| R1cochet | everything work for u now? | 08:30 |
| KittyKatt | Let me test it... | 08:30 |
| KittyKatt | While I'm doing that....got any advice on codecs? T_T | 08:30 |
| KittyKatt | I installed Banshee...only to find it couldn't play anything. | 08:31 |
| R1cochet | well i use totem w/ gstreamer as it no longer uses xine backend | 08:31 |
| KittyKatt | Hm. | 08:31 |
| KittyKatt | Might look intot hat. | 08:31 |
| KittyKatt | into* | 08:32 |
| KittyKatt | that* | 08:32 |
| R1cochet | well it wont play the dvd menus :( | 08:32 |
| R1cochet | it will play dvds but not the menus | 08:32 |
| R1cochet | i just installed smplayer last night and rather enjoy it | 08:32 |
| KittyKatt | smplayer? | 08:32 |
| R1cochet | i didnt like how mplayer has controls seperate from window | 08:32 |
| R1cochet | yea smplayer | 08:33 |
| KittyKatt | lol...I noticed there's not a "media" tree menu in synaptic. | 08:33 |
| R1cochet | uses mplayer but has controls in same window :) | 08:33 |
| KittyKatt | lol multiimedia | 08:33 |
| KittyKatt | XD | 08:33 |
| KittyKatt | I'm blind | 08:33 |
| R1cochet | goto smplayer website and grab there most recent package. they have a link for it | 08:34 |
| R1cochet | back to codecs tho.... | 08:34 |
| KittyKatt | mhm? | 08:34 |
| R1cochet | grab xubuntu-restricted-extras | 08:34 |
| KittyKatt | Ah. | 08:34 |
| R1cochet | that will select all the codecs u should need | 08:35 |
| KittyKatt | yay for libpulseaudio | 08:35 |
| R1cochet | u will need to install libdvd... to play dvds | 08:35 |
| KittyKatt | :D | 08:35 |
| KittyKatt | I <3 Pulse | 08:35 |
| R1cochet | to do that i think u need to add medibuntu repos | 08:36 |
| R1cochet | there should be a howto online | 08:36 |
| R1cochet | cant remember myself | 08:36 |
| KittyKatt | I'll find it. | 08:36 |
| R1cochet | u will also need to add libdecss or something like that | 08:36 |
| KittyKatt | Once I find 'em add 'em to /etc/apt/sources.list? | 08:37 |
| R1cochet | i dunno | 08:37 |
| R1cochet | u can add them through synaptic | 08:37 |
| KittyKatt | kay | 08:37 |
| R1cochet | anything else? | 08:38 |
| KittyKatt | R1cochet: did you have troubles with touchpad support? | 08:38 |
| R1cochet | nope | 08:38 |
| KittyKatt | hm | 08:38 |
| R1cochet | i dont have one tho | 08:39 |
| KittyKatt | Couldn't find options in XFCE Settings Manager for touchpad. | 08:39 |
| R1cochet | however i have installed on 2 diff hp's and they worked fine | 08:39 |
| KittyKatt | Even under the Mouse dialog. | 08:39 |
| R1cochet | ur touvhpad doesnt work? | 08:39 |
| R1cochet | touch* | 08:39 |
| KittyKatt | No, I had to edit some files themselves to make tap-to-click go away. | 08:39 |
| KittyKatt | But that also killed my vertical scrolling. | 08:40 |
| R1cochet | ohhh | 08:40 |
| R1cochet | ouch | 08:40 |
| KittyKatt | Yeah. | 08:40 |
| KittyKatt | Sucks. T_T | 08:40 |
| KittyKatt | I wonder if anyone here knows how to get a compromise between the 2..... | 08:40 |
| R1cochet | well i remember seeing something about a package for touchpad somewhere | 08:40 |
| R1cochet | google it | 08:40 |
| KittyKatt | Hm. | 08:41 |
| KittyKatt | Would I be able to find it in synaptic? | 08:41 |
| KittyKatt | ... | 08:41 |
| KittyKatt | Stupid question. | 08:41 |
| R1cochet | maybe | 08:41 |
| R1cochet | i would do a "search" not quick search tho | 08:42 |
| KittyKatt | Yeah. | 08:42 |
| KittyKatt | lol | 08:42 |
| KittyKatt | quick search fails | 08:42 |
| R1cochet | lol | 08:42 |
| KittyKatt | Nope. | 08:43 |
| KittyKatt | Nothing in synaptic. | 08:43 |
| KittyKatt | found an article online | 08:44 |
| dahaic | hello everybody :) I have a little problem with VPN [not sure whether this is the place to ask] | 08:47 |
| R1cochet | i would think so | 08:47 |
| dahaic | actually it's two problems | 08:47 |
| R1cochet | just ask and some1 will help u in time | 08:47 |
| R1cochet | sry i cant but im not familiar w/ vpn | 08:48 |
| * KittyKatt shrugs | 08:48 | |
| dahaic | first) even if I check "automatic connection", it doesn't connect automatically :/ | 08:48 |
| R1cochet | lmao the security word is gipsy | 08:49 |
| dahaic | second, when I connect, I want to use the vpn just to access one particular server, but as soon as I add routing via "route add ... dev ppp0", my original connection start to have horrible probably DNS resolution times | 08:52 |
| dahaic | every page waits for ~5 seconds with "looking for ..." status | 08:53 |
| dahaic | even if I have "route default dev wlan0" :/ | 08:53 |
| R1cochet | ignore my previous comment wrong channel | 08:53 |
| dahaic | :) | 08:54 |
| KittyKatt | HA! | 09:00 |
| KittyKatt | R1cochet: did it. :P | 09:00 |
| KittyKatt | synclient. | 09:00 |
| KittyKatt | synclient MaxTapTime=0 | 09:01 |
| KittyKatt | That disables tap-to-click | 09:01 |
| KittyKatt | But doesn't disable scrolling | 09:02 |
| R1cochet | cool | 09:03 |
| R1cochet | but i didnt do it :) | 09:03 |
| KittyKatt | This makes me happy. | 09:03 |
| KittyKatt | I also have buttons for play,mute,stop,previous song, and next song on my keyboard. | 09:04 |
| KittyKatt | Any idea on the commands for those? | 09:04 |
| R1cochet | well i gave u mute earlier | 09:04 |

| magic_ninjaz | whats the name of the program that lets me adjust mouse speed in xubuntu | 09:05 |
| KittyKatt | Shouldn't that be under Applications>>>Settings>>>Mouse and be labeled Accelleration? | 09:06 |
| dahaic | acceleration is something else | 09:07 |
| KittyKatt | Ah. | 09:07 |
| KittyKatt | Just a guess. ^^; | 09:07 |
| R1cochet | KittyKatt: checking on play/stop | 09:08 |
| KittyKatt | thanks R1cochet! :D | 09:08 |

| psycho_oreos | How does one enable thermal monitoring of hardware? I had it working before with both an older version (ibex) and on another hard drive (which later died) Could it be by any chance its 2.6.28-13-server was not built with i2c or i2o (whatever its called) support? | 15:14 |
| psycho_oreos | running gkrellm, I was only able to get the temperature of my nvidia card | 15:14 |
| psycho_oreos | prior to that I was able to get temperatures of 3 hard disks, recently I bought myself 4th hard disk which is exactly the same as the other three and I was not able to get temp readings | 15:15 |
| psycho_oreos | or wait.. I think I need something like hddtemp | 15:15 |
| psycho_oreos | hmm interesting, hddtemp daemon wasn't started where it used to originally.. but what about stuff like cpu temp? | 15:19 |
| SiDi | Do you have lm-sensors installed ? | 15:21 |
| psycho_oreos | nope, think I'll grab that now thanks | 15:24 |
| psycho_oreos | I've enabled the hddtemp setting via /etc/default/hddtemp | 15:25 |
| psycho_oreos | interesting how it wasn't set to start but oh well | 15:25 |
| * SiDi never looked into these things | 15:29 | |
| psycho_oreos | the other thing is superkaramba and boinc, have you ever gotten those combos to work? it needed Kross scripting | 15:29 |
| psycho_oreos | yeah, all eye-candy stuff imo :) | 15:30 |
| psycho_oreos | I've tried getting kde4-exra but I that didn't solve the issue, I was following up some old thread and on a different distro.. SuSE and posts were dated 2007 | 15:35 |
| psycho_oreos | extra* | 15:35 |
| SiDi | I never used that either | 15:40 |
| SiDi | are you on Xubuntu or Kubuntu ? | 15:40 |
| psycho_oreos | xubuntu jaunty | 15:41 |
| psycho_oreos | I have superkarmba installed ontop of xubuntu, needless to say that it needed kde packages from kubuntu/repository.. well I did that and I got the necessary eye-candy monitoring stuff loaded but I can't get boinc to work with it | 15:42 |
| psycho_oreos | I've gotten those sensor things to work thanks :) i've gotten lm-sensors and all the extra suggested packages, etc | 15:42 |
| psycho_oreos | apt-get install lm-sensors sensord read-edid i2c-tools libi2c-dev python-smbus <--- that was the command for getting the sensors (and any extra stuff) but sensors work well within gkrellm | 15:48 |
| psycho_oreos | thanks for the help anyway, the kross scripting platform was resolved with probably libkrosspython0 from the thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=802942 | 16:08 |

| Yart | Hello. | 21:00 |
| ramrod | hello | 21:01 |
| Yart | Hi. | 21:02 |
| Yart | Uh... does anybody know if Xubuntu comes with the drivers for the ATI Radeon HD 3200 card? | 21:03 |
| Yart | That's what I'm running onboard right now and YouTube runs like poop. :/ Which is pathetic considering the rest of the system's specs and Window's ability to run it just fine. | 21:03 |
| forces | Yart, you can download after the installation | 21:03 |
| Yart | Alright. Where abouts, forces? | 21:04 |
| om26er | my default theme is not as graphical as in the xubuntu page | 21:08 |
| Kangarooo | where are sessions saved? I want to delete sessions | 21:09 |
| om26er | can any i help me my theme is like all windows 2000 | 21:09 |
| om26er | whenever i change theme everything changes except the window | 21:11 |
| om26er | window panel does not change | 21:11 |
| Yart | Okay what is this crap? I have drivers installed now and YouTube still goes at like 5FPS, and then freezes for like 30 seconds. | 21:13 |
| Yart | :/ | 21:13 |
| SiDi | Yart: we are not shipping proprietary drivers by default, but you can install them with a few clicks : Applications -> System -> Hardware drivers | 21:25 |
| Yart | K! Done! | 21:25 |
| SiDi | Yart: if none are listed or if they blatently suck, please contact ATi and let them know :] | 21:25 |
| Yart | ;) | 21:25 |
| SiDi | We can't write drivers instead of them ;) | 21:25 |
| Yart | I think the main problem though is the default app to run Flash. | 21:26 |
| Yart | I'm following a small tutorial I found on the Ubuntu forums now to properly get things going. | 21:26 |
| SiDi | ATi has all the cool stuff : experimental KMS, experimental DRI2, and horrible performances :] | 21:26 |
| Yart | Woohoo!! | 21:26 |
| SiDi | My nvidia based computers can play flash :p | 21:26 |
| Yart | Thank goodness this ATi card is onboard. I'll buy a separate nVidia one down the road. :P | 21:26 |
| SiDi | the problem with ATi is that their opensource drivers are not finished, their proprietary drivers suck, and they dont support all their cards :| | 21:26 |
| Yart | Oh ew. | 21:27 |
| SiDi | it should be better in a year for sure | 21:27 |
| SiDi | since they'll have released decent opensource drivers for most of their cards, with KMS (and maybe Gallium3D implemented ?) | 21:27 |
| SiDi | Nvidia wont be able to do so. BUt their proprietary drivers ARE fast :d | 21:27 |
| SiDi | (as fast as windows for running OpenGL2 games :p) | 21:28 |
| Yart | Oh dang!! | 21:28 |
| Yart | K yeah I'm going nVidia on my next card purchase. | 21:28 |
| Yart | Man at first I thought I got ripped off or something too. I JUST bought this computer and after seeing YouTube reacting like that I was like "......" | 21:28 |
| Yart | Well golly! The tutorial worked. YouTube is working fine now. Stupid flash... | 21:33 |
| Yart | But yay! It's perfect! | 21:34 |
| * Yart hugs his new system. "I don't hate you anymore!" | 21:34 | |
| SiDi | ahah | 21:35 |
| SiDi | anyway you're only allowed to hate ATi :) | 21:35 |
| Yart | Indeed. :P | 21:35 |
| Yart | Well I'm happy to see sound works out of the box! | 21:35 |
| Yart | Though the volume is low... even when maxed out. | 21:36 |
| Yart | Mind you I don't know if it's just my card or not. I never had Windows on this thing to compare yet. | 21:36 |
| Yart | K guys? | 21:48 |
| Yart | Now when I try to ./configure something before "make"ing, it's like "C compiler cannot create executables" and I'm like "OMFG WHY?!" | 21:48 |
| Yart | What am I missing? | 21:50 |
| Raggs | are you getting any error? | 21:52 |
| Yart | Yeah. | 21:52 |
| Yart | configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables | 21:53 |
| slimjimflim | hi, what's the xubuntu equivelent to the ubuntu 'system -> preferences -> sound'? | 21:55 |
| Raggs | yart so you ./configure xyz and what output do you get? | 21:56 |
| Yart | configure: error: /bin/bash tools/config.sub xyz failed | 21:57 |
| Yart | Oh and the line right before it... | 21:57 |
| Yart | checking build system type... Invalid configuration 'xyz : machine 'xyz' not recognized | 21:58 |
| KittyKatt | ehhhh.... | 21:58 |
| KittyKatt | Having a lot of trouble using compiz in xubuntu. Anyone have suggestions? | 21:59 |
| Yart | Raggs: Could it be what I'm compiling or is there just something wrong with my compiler? | 22:05 |
| KittyKatt | restarting | 22:05 |
| Raggs | Yart, i wouls guess it is a compiler issue | 22:06 |
| Yart | Blarg! What should I do? Like... how could I possibly reinstall it or something? | 22:06 |
| Raggs | try sudo apt-get install gcc | 22:06 |
| Yart | It's already latest version. | 22:07 |
| Raggs | try apt-get install gcc-c++ | 22:07 |
| Yart | Couldn't find package gcc-c | 22:08 |
| Yart | I added the "++" at the end but it removed it. | 22:08 |
| Raggs | i see, looking into it a bit | 22:09 |
| Yart | Alright. | 22:09 |
| Yart | It did make a log file if you want to look at that. | 22:09 |
| Raggs | and cooking dinner, | 22:09 |
| Yart | Oh gotchya. | 22:09 |
| Raggs | i would suggest in the mean time you google the exact error you are getting | 22:10 |
| Yart | K. | 22:10 |
| jgamio | Yart did you instal build-essential | 22:12 |
| Yart | Yup. | 22:14 |
| Yart | Same error. | 22:14 |
| SiDi | Yart: for your volume, click on the volume button on the panel, on the mixer window poppin up, click properties | 22:17 |
| Yart | I already did that. :/ | 22:17 |
| SiDi | Yart: then check all the boxes, and max out all the slides | 22:17 |
| Yart | Already done. | 22:18 |
| SiDi | slimjimflim: xfce4-mixer | 22:18 |
| SiDi | slimjimflim: we have less options | 22:18 |
| SiDi | its g++ | 22:18 |
| SiDi | not gcc-c++ | 22:18 |
| Yart | Oh. Yeah I already installed g++ | 22:19 |
| SiDi | what are you building ? | 22:19 |
| Yart | Wine. I don't want to pull it out of the repository. | 22:19 |
| Yart | I'd rather build it towards my system. :/ | 22:19 |
| slimjimflim | SiDi: i got it | 22:19 |
| Yart | Sheesh I can't seem to be able to compile anything. Even xmame isn't working. | 22:25 |
| SiDi | Yart: WHY build wine ? :| | 22:32 |
| SiDi | use the PPA for 1.1.25 | 22:32 |
| SiDi | (btw, #ubuntu-wine is a great place for help building wine, since its the channel of our wine maintainer) | 22:33 |
| Yart | Aye. | 22:33 |
| knome | #ubuntu-whine? ;) | 22:33 |
| Yart | >:P | 22:33 |
| KittyKatt | I'm having compiz troubles. Could anyone help me? | 22:35 |
| SiDi | knome: eek | 22:35 |
| SiDi | knome: i wonder how many accounts people on xfce-look.org have | 22:35 |
| SiDi | in order to vote up their own artwork | 22:35 |
| knome | :< | 22:35 |
| SiDi | because some things show at 60-80 % and are just ugly. Uglier than this afternoon's wallpaper | 22:35 |
| knome | sounds bad. | 22:35 |
| knome | haha... | 22:35 |
| SiDi | yeh | 22:35 |
| knome | yeah. | 22:35 |
| knome | that rating system is not really accurate | 22:36 |
| knome | i once created a oo impress template | 22:36 |
| SiDi | and gnome sound - gnome X11 mouse themes spam the xfce themes out of the first page in no time | 22:36 |
| knome | and looked the other at the same time - looked like the worst had the best rating | 22:36 |
| SiDi | yeh | 22:37 |
| SiDi | or it means you cant be using linux AND have taste :| ? | 22:37 |
| knome | lol | 22:37 |
| knome | more like you can't use linux seriously and rate at xfce-look | 22:38 |
| SiDi | :p | 22:38 |
| SiDi | found a screenshot of a guy with Quod Libet | 22:39 |
| SiDi | i never managed to make it work more than a minute | 22:39 |
| SiDi | :( | 22:39 |
| knome | "of a guy" ?! | 22:39 |
| knome | wow | 22:39 |
| knome | ;) | 22:39 |
| SiDi | meh | 22:39 |
| SiDi | knome: go drink some rum | 22:39 |
| knome | hmm... | 22:39 |
| knome | ;) | 22:39 |
| SiDi | and dont leave me any :P | 22:39 |
| KittyKatt | Can anyone help me with my compiz troubles? | 22:39 |
| knome | !compiz | KittyKatt | 22:40 |
| ubottu | KittyKatt: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 22:40 |
| SiDi | KittyKatt: maybe if you began by asking a question ;) But we're not experts with it, not many of us run it | 22:40 |
| KittyKatt | Well, compiz is running fine after I installed the packages compiz-fusion* compiz-gnome compiz-settings-manager fusion-icon and emerald. | 22:41 |
| KittyKatt | Except now I can only have 2 workspaces. | 22:41 |
| KittyKatt | It won't let me have any more or any less than 2 workspaces. | 22:42 |
| SiDi | ah | 22:42 |
| SiDi | and if you right click the workspaces | 22:42 |
| SiDi | can't you edit this value ? | 22:42 |
| KittyKatt | Yes. | 22:43 |
| KittyKatt | I can make it go up and down. | 22:43 |
| KittyKatt | But that doesn't do anything to the ACTUAL number of workspaces. | 22:43 |
| SiDi | and if you change them in xfce ? | 22:43 |
| KittyKatt | I can't. | 22:43 |
| KittyKatt | Anywhere. | 22:43 |
| SiDi | ask in #compiz then please | 22:43 |
| Kangarooo | where are sessions saved? I want to delete sessions | 22:45 |
| * KittyKatt is away | 22:45 | |
| SiDi | Kangarooo: ~/.cache/sessions | 22:48 |
| Kangarooo | ok there were some files but strange couse I deleted that folder 2or3 weeks ago. maybe I have found bug.. couse I deleted that folder but after installing openbox some strage session has been openin firefox and xchat and after purging openbox now 2 terminals are opening.. ill say if all is ok now.. restarrt.. | 22:51 |
| _Antoine_ | Hello, can you say me the name of the dev Channel of xubuntu? | 23:41 |
| ^Alita | hi to all | 23:57 |
| ^Alita | someone can tell me if update-apt-xapi is useful? it's using lot of resources | 23:57 |
| SiDi | hi ^Alita | 23:58 |
| SiDi | no idea what it is, but i never had it running here | 23:58 |
| ^Alita | i've found some info in internet, it seems a xubuntu 9 characteristic | 23:59 |
| ^Alita | is something linked to synaptic | 23:59 |
