[00:05] <billybigrigger> how does one go about getting compositing working in xfce?
[00:06] <billybigrigger> i originally had gnome installed, and still do, but trying xfce out, and i can't get gnome-do working because i don't have compositing working? at least that's what it's complaining about, compiz/gnome-do works fine in gnome
[00:06] <knome> billybigrigger, applications -> settings -> window manager tweaks -> compositor
[00:06] <knome> if you need compiz,
[00:06] <knome> !compiz | billybigrigger
[00:07] <billybigrigger> hmmm
[00:07] <billybigrigger> can't have a panel-less xfce eh?
[00:08] <knome> why not? just remove all the panels.
[00:08] <knome> or kill the xfce4-panel process.
[00:08] <billybigrigger> when i try to remove it, it complains i can't remove the last panel
[00:09] <knome> then kill the xfce4-panel process. that will kill the last panel
[00:09] <billybigrigger> ya that did the trick
[00:11] <billybigrigger> me likey panelless xfce w/ gnome-do :P
[00:11] <PredaGR> hello all, I am loosing my keyoard and mouse at the same time from time to time, anyone knows why?

[00:16] <PredaGR> it is not on some specific package, or do not know if something causes it, so will manually send one from the web
[00:16] <knome> yep.
[00:17] <PredaGR> by the way, I love xubuntu, very nice work
[00:18] <SiDi> its a kernel bug
[00:19] <SiDi> xorg-input-evdev should be the package, or something similar
[00:19] <knome> PredaGR, thanks and great to hear you are enjoying it.
[00:19] <SiDi> xserver-xorg-input-evdev PredaGR
[00:20] <SiDi> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev
[00:20] <SiDi> Search here, if you dont find it, you can report it
[00:20] <SiDi> also, it may already be filed in bugzilla.kernel.org which is the main place for kernel problems
[00:21] <PredaGR> looking at it right now
[00:22] <PredaGR> syslog by the way does not show anything, cron cron cron and just the restart when it comes back

[05:00] <billybigrigger> what is the proper way to unmount a flash disk?
[05:00] <zhxk> anybody ever use ircii?
[05:01] <billybigrigger> in thunar when i right click on "16GB" and then click unmount i get a nasty message about not being able to open /media/.hal-mtab
[05:01] <genii> billybigrigger: sudo sync && sudo umount /mountpointname && sudo eject /dev/sdX#               ... substitute accordingly
[05:01] <billybigrigger> same when i try to unmount from the desktop icon
[05:02] <billybigrigger> genii, fair enough, is unmounting via thunar broken?
[05:02] <genii> billybigrigger: Not sure, I'm mainly in KDE
[05:03] <billybigrigger> i fell in love with xfce today for some reason
[05:03] <billybigrigger> "16GB" still shows on the desktop, and in thunar
[05:04] <zhxk> hello, how to switch to none smp kernel?
[05:04] <zhxk> this computer only has one core
[05:04] <zhxk> users
[05:05] <zhxk> menus
[05:07] <zhxk> echo
[05:08] <zhxk> ls
[05:08] <zhxk> ls
[05:08] <zhxk> ls
[05:12] <_Pete_> zhxk: there's no non-smp kernel in the repos so if you *really* need one I guess you need to compile one yourself
[05:13] <billybigrigger> anyone know of a plugin or script i can use for thunar with unrar to right click "Extract here"
[05:13] <billybigrigger> ?
[05:14] <_Pete_> http://www.google.fi/search?q=thunar+extract+here&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a

[09:25] <fsbytes> hi there... i'm on a netbook with xubuntu running and i constantly have 100% cpu usage
[09:25] <fsbytes> sudo top shows that kacpid and kacpi_notify is using all of the cpu
[09:26] <fsbytes> i read some forum posts and it seems to be common
[09:26] <fsbytes> but they turned kacpid of - but they all had desktop mashines
[09:27] <fsbytes> so is it a good idea to turn kacpid off when i'm on a netbook?
[09:27] <_Pete_> you dont need to use sudo to run top
[09:28] <fsbytes> i know but i wanted to know if the process that takes up all the cpu usage is runned by me
[09:31] <fsbytes> hm....
[10:31] <fsbytes> hey how do i kill the kacpid and kacpi_notify process?
[10:32] <fsbytes> i have 100% cpu usage
[10:42] <TheSheep> the k* "processes" are not really processes, they are parts of kernel
[10:42] <fsbytes> damn
[10:43] <fsbytes> i read that i'm not the only one with that problem
[10:43] <fsbytes> it seems to have something to do with hyperthreading?! do you know anything about that TheSheep ?

[14:53] <mcella> is it normal that the xubuntu desktop layout installed is different than the livecd one?
[14:55] <mcella> installed = 1 panel, livecd = 2 panel
[15:09] <web_knows> hi :)
[15:20] <msingh> hello
[15:21] <cody-somerville> mcella, ermm... definitely not :)
[15:21] <cody-somerville> mcella, What version?
[15:22] <mcella> cody-somerville: jaunty
[15:23] <mcella> live cd was like that http://xubuntu.org/sites/default/files/xubuntu-jaunty.png
[15:23] <mcella> installed I've got only one panel at the bottom
[15:23] <msingh> anyone use xubuntu for a media center?
[15:24] <cody-somerville> mcella, thats very odd. I've never heard of that happening before.
[15:25] <cody-somerville> mcella, If you create a new account and log into it, do you have the same problem?
[15:25] <mcella> cody-somerville: strange indeed :-D
[15:25] <mcella> cody-somerville: let's try, could it be that localization borked something up? I've used italian as installation language
[15:27] <mcella> woa, freshly created account and everything is all right :-/
[15:28] <mcella> cody-somerville: wack, weel it seems I picked up the name of an old account
[15:28] <mcella> I've not formatted /home and I was sure to have used a new account name
[15:28] <cody-somerville> ah :)
[15:28] <mcella> there was ubuntu 7.10 before
[15:29] <mcella> sorry for the false allarm! :-/
[15:29] <cody-somerville> hehe
[15:29] <mcella> now everything is looking nice and clean :-D
[15:29] <mcella> it was a really strange setup :-D

[19:20] <CRM> Hello, will Xubuntu run with 64 mb RAM ?
[19:22] <knome> CRM, very badly, if at all.
[19:23] <knome> CRM, i'd recommend a CLI only system
[19:23] <CRM> Puppylinux better choice?
[19:23] <knome> CRM, i don't think you will be able to run *any* graphical interface
[19:23] <knome> CRM, 64 RAM is *very* little
[19:25] <CRM> knome: DSL ?
[19:26] <knome> CRM, 64 RAM is very little memory to graphical interface dependless of the linux distribution.
[19:26] <CRM> knome, so what do you recommend in my case ?
[19:27] <knome> CRM, you could run a text-mode linux.
[19:27] <knome> !minimal | crm
[19:27] <knome> CRM, with the minimal cd you can install only text-mode ubuntu
[19:27] <CRM> knome, Well its not for me, it's for someone who Im guessing isnt very... computer literate
[19:28] <knome> CRM, ram is very cheap now
[19:28] <knome> CRM, your best bet might be getting more ram, if you can
[19:28] <CRM> knome, I dont know if they still sell the kind I need
[19:28] <knome> CRM, with 256 you could easily run graphical, but would be a bit slow still
[19:29] <CRM> knome, I'm running Xubuntu on a system with 128 mb RAM, and it works perfectly, very fast bootup, though it gets a bit sluggish when you try to run many applications
[19:43] <knome> CRM, yeah.
[19:43] <knome> CRM, but you know yourself that 64<<128
[19:44] <CRM> knome, yea, I'm just looking for an operating system that would work on this machine. Is Windows 98/95 my best choice here ?
[19:45] <knome> CRM, i'm not sure if they would work with it.
[19:45] <CRM> knome, Windows 98 is what's on there now
[19:46] <knome> CRM, if you can get your hands on windows 95 osr2, it would be quit good.
[19:46] <knome> CRM, it's basically 95 with the features of 98 but the speed of 95. not exactly, but it's at least better than 95 and faster than 98
[19:48] <CRM> knome, alright, thanks
[19:48] <knome> np.
[19:49] <souled> Hey, I'm having trouble getting a persistent version of Xubuntu onto a USB drive, anyone have a minute?
[19:49] <knome> !usb | souled
[19:49] <knome> souled, read that?
[19:50] <souled> I looked on forums I think I'm just missing something all together.
[19:55] <souled> Also, those instructions are assuming you're already using linux. I have windows on this machine, and some OS made for children and/or seniors that has no optical drive.
[20:38] <slow-motion> hi
[21:38] <noobo> Hi, Im a noob in need of some help. Im looking for an easy to use program that changes global proxies for ubuntu, but not tor or privoxy because Ive heard tor isnt safe and privoxy gave me some problems. Ive been googling around and cant find a single answer, can anyone point me in the right direction?
[21:40] <TheSheep> safe from what?
[21:41] <noobo> I heard tor can be exploited that hackers use it to get into your computer somehow
[21:43] <TheSheep> first time I hear that, but then again I wasn't interested
[21:43] <TheSheep> maybe go to the #tor channel and ask if it's fixed
[21:46] <noobo> meh, I couldnt get tor to work globally anyway, so thats why im lookin for another program
