[00:14] hi all [00:14] trying to install new theme [00:20] hell [00:20] hello [00:21] erikk71: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=install+theme+in+xfce&aq=f&oq=&aqi=&fp=KxYPMM6r3XA [00:22] ? [00:29] lol [01:02] where is plymouth [01:49] anyone know what Intel® 82845G support is like? [02:31] tuxedo: plymouth what? [02:32] plymouth from fedora [02:40] * crazygir shrugs [02:40] sorry [02:42] Plymouth on karmic koala [02:42] _ [03:25] Where is g++ installed after you sudo apt-get install it? [03:26] dbdii407: /usr/bin [03:27] Oh! So close. Wrong folder. Thanks [04:18] Hi, i need some help setting up a static IP address, i've tried everything come to mind though it still won't work [04:19] michael__: using network-manager? [04:20] yeah, or anything else. I've tried editing countless files but it seems to stuff it up further [04:21] michael__: if you are using network manager you will probably not succeed. I haven't tried it myself, but have read that nm just doesn't like static ip. What I read said to disable nm and then the /etc/network/interfaces file will work [04:21] i gotta admit that i'm on MythBuntu but it uses xfce4 and is on Ubuntu, it's just stripped back a bit\ [04:22] michael__: if nm is running then the interfaces file is ignored...editing it won't help [04:22] ok... so how could i dsable Network manager? [04:22] michael__: I think you can disable it in Sessions and Startup on the autostart tab [04:22] this is great advice, i've been pulling my hair out for 3 days wondering what the hell is wrong with it. I set up ArchLinux static IP easier than this [04:23] michael__: yeah.....as far as I am concerned gnome and its associated apps are more trouble than they are worth [04:23] i have used static ip's with network manager, just disable dhcp [04:24] xylox: I will bow to experience...like I said I haven't tried it yet but have read some on the web about issues [04:24] ok well i've toasted NM [04:24] michael__: then the interfaces file should work..as well as ifup and ifdown [04:25] ...so should i get it back now or go for the manual editor? (i really don't mind doing it manually) [04:25] michael__: might try both to see which works better [04:25] ok [04:25] i'll fix interfaces first [04:27] can you just check this? (should i use pastebin?) [04:27] can i give you the output of ifconfig? [04:27] michael__: yeah...pastebinit [04:28] http://pastebin.com/m65cf6d3a [04:30] looks good so far...let me check something. [04:30] seems ok yeah? [04:31] i'm gunna change names [04:31] NICK/ BB*@ === michael__ is now known as BB82 [04:31] anyone know how to fix a banshee error trying to play last.fm music? I get "Gstreamer resource error: Not found" when run on a terminal. [04:34] BB82: I am not sure about that 'network' entry...but other than that it looks good. But in checking I again found several sites where people complained about the same problem you are having....and didn't see a consistent solution [04:35] th0r, this is crazy I really need a static IP so my MythTV backend can talk to my frontend properly [04:36] th0r, it seems like such a simple task, and in past versions it was. Thanks for your help, if you find anything i'll hang tight [04:36] BB82: this site talks about also editing rc.conf....http://www.itech7.com/Linux/ubuntu-904jaunty-jackalope-internet-configuration-for-static-ip [04:39] BB82: wish I had my home network up and running so I could try this stuff out....interesting problem [04:41] in 8.04 dosn't exist this problem [04:42] xylox: yeah...they put it into jaunty for its entertainment value [04:42] xylox, yeah i've noticed. I don't know why 9 has this issue [04:42] xylox: the more I use jaunty the more I wish I had installed Hardy instead [04:43] xylox: had both cd's.....bad decision on my part [04:45] would it be the same for Xubuntu and Ubuntu? [04:45] BB82: unfortunately yes [04:45] xylox, if that site doesnm [04:45] xylox, if that site doesnt work i might try ubuntu forums [04:47] BB82: going to call it a night....good luck with the IP [04:49] many thanks [06:27] Hi I'm having issused getting a static IP in Jaunty [08:39] is there a way i can change it so when i push the power button it starts shutting down instead of opening a shutdown/reboot/logoff prompt? [08:40] Techie, yes [08:40] Techie, open gnome-power-preferences [08:41] Go to the third tab [08:41] And in the first line, you can change the behaviour of the shutdown button [08:41] From "Ask me" to "Shutdown" [08:42] thanks === awway is now known as lukinfore [14:54] any1 tell me is there a way to make xubuntu like netbook remix without downloading the whole NBR [15:06] Anyone know where I can get the wallpaper shown here http://www.xubuntu.org/ ? [15:27] igsen, http://packages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu-artwork [16:14] I'm having a hell of a lot of trouble getting a static IP address in Jaunty, what the hell is wrong with the GUI? [16:14] BB82: still working on that? [16:23] yeah, sorry you're in #Ubuntu too [16:32] hello gyus! my X is acting wierd! it refuses to set 1024x768 as my default resolution, and it hangs from time to time so I gotta restart and go recovery mode > xfix... any suggestions? [17:00] metatagg, you likely have GPU drivers problems [17:00] SiDi: yes, I think so too after a bit of googling.. :( [17:01] What graphic card do you have ? If it's an ATi or Nvidia, try the drivers listed in Apps -> System -> Hardware drivers [17:01] SiDi: i've got an intel integrated one.. :( [17:02] And Xubuntu 9.04 ? [17:02] yes [17:02] Most of Intel drivers have problems with this version of X.org that is in Xubuntu 9.04 [17:02] so I have noticed.. :( [17:02] According to rumours it'll be better in Karmic [17:03] i'd be better off installing 8.04.. right? [17:03] By the meanwhile i think the best for you is to stay on Intrepid and to use some PPAs for getting recent apps [17:03] ah [17:03] good point. :( [17:04] https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ppa this PPA for firefox [17:04] or dig out an old ati RAGE card.. :) [17:04] This one for XFCE [17:04] aha, ati rage :D [17:04] ty SiDi :) [17:04] https://launchpad.net/~jerome-guelfucci/+archive/ppa [17:04] Any app for which you need a recent version ? [17:05] nah, I'll be fine:) [17:05] https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa openoffice :p [17:05] haha :D [17:05] it's a bit heavy i think ;) === techknowlust is now known as techknowlust|awa === techknowlust|awa is now known as techknowlust [18:35] SiDi: I found a workaround! I added a PPA, upgraded, and voila! It works! :) [18:36] oh great [18:36] some intel drivers PPA ? :O [18:36] (there was a blog post on the planet recommanding against testing them ^.^) [18:37] metatagg, can you give me this PPA please ? [18:37] and your exact Intel chipset please too [18:39] i'm not sure;) about the divers.. hang on a sec :) [18:39] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance [18:39] there it is.. :O [18:40] http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main [18:40] thanks [18:40] says: "Use preview of 2.8 driver" as header ;( [18:40] :) [18:40] np [18:40] my chipset.... [18:41] that's lspci | grep VGA [18:41] right? [18:41] yes [18:42] ah [18:42] in that case... [18:42] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) [18:47] Thanks [18:52] how can update from xubuntu hardy to intrepid and then to jaunty? [18:52] in safe mode [18:52] hhh2, you can upgrade from hardy to intrepid and then from intrepid to jaunty, yes [18:53] how? [18:53] Open the update-manager [18:53] go to Properties, then go to [18:54] Third tab : 'Updates' [18:54] And at the bottom, set 'Display new versions' to 'Normal versions' [18:54] and then the update manager will propose you to upgrade [18:55] to 9.04 [18:59] I think I will keep it at least till the next LTS arrives [20:07] when i try to run googleearth the screen turns black anyone know what is wrong? === techknowlust is now known as techknowlust|awa [20:21] yesitisjustme, your graphic card drivers are not installed, or they dont manage OpenGL === freego is now known as forces [20:22] Check if you have any recommanded driver not activated in Apps -> Params -> Hardware drivers [20:22] Apps -> System -> sorry [20:24] it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system [20:29] then either your card is too old / weak to have the opengl functions needed for Google Earth, or you lack drivers [20:30] type glxinfo | grep render [20:30] In a console [20:33] direct rendering: Yes [20:33] OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R200 20060602 AGP 4x x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE TCL [20:34] my video card is ati radeon 9200se 128mb [20:37] hi [20:37] does anyone know how exactly mouse sleep mode works [20:37] ? [20:37] and is it configurable? === techknowlust|awa is now known as techknowlust [22:11] hello [22:12] Hey, i need help with the compatibility of xubuntu [22:12] anyonw knows how xubuntu works on a tulip eth card? [22:33] Frostwarri0r, same as other Ubuntu distros [23:35] hi all [23:35] is it possible to connect xubuntu to a windows network [23:36] acessing windows pc and so? [23:36] armada: yes, there is an app for that...gigolo....available out of the repos [23:37] but does it reaallyu work? [23:37] I tried and it seems really really hard :( [23:38] armada: really hard? I just installed it...no config necessary. As to if it works I don't know. I am on a marina wifi and don't know if there are any computers out there to access [23:38] no no [23:38] not that [23:38] what I want is to connect to shared folderes [23:39] I can acess internet easily [23:39] but i need to acess office database, in a win pc [23:39] armada: yeah....shared folders are on other computers on the network....and that is what gigolo is supposed to do [23:39] i could do it? [23:39] justa like that? [23:40] I don't think it should be necessary to plead my case. Try it or don't...up to you [23:40] i tried didn't work [23:41] but i'm kind of a noob [23:41] with gnome was pretty easy.. [23:42] th0r i didn't meant to be rude... sorry if it look like that :$ [23:44] no problem. I haven't had much need for it, so can't guarantee it works....but it looks like it does, and it is suppose to do what you want....access windows shares [23:46] seems that gigolo isn't available for 8.04 [23:47] xylox: you could always download the source from the xfce page and compile it. And to be honest, I wish I had 8.04 and that problem [23:48] th0r, yeah, i went the hard way to access my shares, but once it's done, it works great using thunar [23:48] xylox but for a noob like me... [23:49] xylox: I used fusesmb with thunar for years, but I couldn't get that to work in jaunty. Just one of many things I can't get right in jaunty [23:49] i guess i was expecting it out-of-the-box like in standard ubuntu [23:50] hopefully xfce will someday offer that function like gnome does [23:50] yep [23:50] for noobs like me it would be great [23:50] xylox: have you used fusesmb? I really like it a lot more than the gnome setup [23:51] i even followed a tutorial to congigure thunsar w/ fuse [23:51] but no result :( [23:51] xylox: I have a folder ~/Network...and all the computers in the network just show up there...just a part of the directory tree...really transparent [23:51] armada: are you using jaunty? (9.04) [23:51] was... [23:52] just format my pc trying to install ubuntu [23:52] armada: well, then don't feel bad. I couldn't get fuse to work with thunar either...think there is a problem in jaunty (more than one actually) [23:52] but if i knew for sure I could have network i would go back [23:52] th0r, yeah, i got the same, but was a little tricky to accomplish [23:52] hum [23:53] so in what version o xubuntu does it work better? [23:53] xylox: there were some 'undocumented steps' that I had to work to figure out...but it was worth it [23:53] armada: my opinion....hardy...8.04. I am thinking about reformatting and installling hardy...or might try suse [23:54] do you think i can do share with hardy? [23:54] and will it work on a 256ram pc? [23:54] armada: well, xylox says he has it working...get his address and phone number [23:54] armada, here's the link if you feel brave to try it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=304131 [23:55] but that is with 8.04 [23:55] I've been there [23:55] failed [23:55] don't know about newer versions [23:55] :$ [23:55] <-- hard noob [23:55] but can i download older versions? [23:56] sure you can [23:56] hum [23:57] so what version do u recomend? [23:57] xylox: wish you hadn't done that...now I have to go and try fuse all over again [23:57] th0r, no man, don't bother what is working [23:58] yeahhh [23:58] don't fix what is not broken [23:59] xylox: it isn't working...that's what I mean. I wasn't able to get fusesmb working in jaunty...but this is another howto that I hadn't seen before [23:59] i experienced that this week at work with a win 2000 server, after installing patches at windows update i got a bsod next day :S [23:59] jeez....see....just found it (I think)....the group for the mount point is wrong
