[00:03] <pteague_work> how do i remove the floppy drive icon from the desktop?  virtualbox is insisting i have it <.<
[00:07] <rgrig> in synaptic, "reload" succeds if synaptic is run from the command line, but not if run from the xfce menu. in the later case it fails because it tries to use some (wrong) proxy. in BOTH cases settings->preferences->network says "direct internet connection", which is how it should be. any ideas?
[01:04] <billybigrigger> why doesn't xfce want to auto mount my usb camera
[02:54] <sake> !ask anyone know how to add volume notifications to xubuntu?
[02:54] <sake> !topic
[02:55] <sake> anyone know how to add volume notifications to xubuntu?
[02:56] <knome> !info notify-osd | sake
[02:58] <sake> huh?
[02:58] <knome> sake, try installing that package.
[02:58] <sake> i did already
[02:58] <sake> no volume notifications
[02:58] <sake> and everything else works
[02:58] <knome> okay.
[02:59] <Laibsch> Is there anybody here experiencing bug 329616 as well?  upon login a large number of xfdesktop processes are started and bog down the computer.  I wonder what needs to be done to understand and fix the issue.
[03:00] <sake> knome: so... is there like a shell script or somethin i cn install 2 get the volume?
[03:00] <knome> i don't know.
[03:00] <knome> i don't like notifications myself
[03:00] <knome> so i don't use them
[03:06] <sake> knome, what are the shortcuts for increasing and decreasing the volume?
[03:09] <knome> sake, the commands?
[03:09] <sake> yea
[03:09] <sake> like ctrl-something
[03:09] <knome> i suppose there is none by default
[03:09] <knome> apart from possible multimedia keys
[03:09] <sake> ok
[03:09] <knome> http://open.knome.fi/2009/07/05/panels-disappearing-and-other-frequently-asked-questions/
[03:09] <knome> see the sound -section at the bottom
[03:10] <sake> ok
[03:10] <sake> my browser sez that the url duznt work
[03:10] <knome> it does.
[03:10] <knome> please copy the complete url (it might have been cut)
[03:12] <sake> yup same error
[03:12] <knome> "Open the Keyboard settings (Applications > Settings > Keyboard) and open the Application Shortcuts tab. Click add and follow the shortcut wizard. The shortcut commands are amixer sset Master 5%- for volume down, amixer sset Master 5%+ for volume up and mute for mute."
[03:12] <sake> ok thanx
[03:13] <sake> i found a shortcut
[03:13] <sake> but it sez the key is XF86VolumeMute
[03:14] <sake> i mean AudioMute
[03:14] <knome> that might not work.
[03:14] <knome> if it doesn't replace it with the command proposed.
[03:14] <sake> what key is it?
[03:14] <knome> any key you want it to be.
[03:15] <knome> see the settings window to find out.
[03:15] <sake> ok...
[03:15] <knome> i don't know which button "AudioMute" is in your keyboard
[03:15] <knome> you can change that.
[03:16] <ubd> hello how do i make a dial up connection
[03:17] <knome> !dialup | ubd
[03:23] <ubd> this is fucked up
[03:25] <sake> ubd, cussing WILL get u kicked
[03:25] <searcher> that'll get you a  lot of help
[03:25]  * sake doesnt like potty-mouths
[03:26] <knome> !language | ubd
[03:26]  * sake agrees with knome
[03:26] <sake> !language | ubd
[03:27] <ubd> i love you all guys, but that dont change the facts
[03:27] <sake> yea but not a reason to use the f word
[03:27] <knome> ubd, did you read the link?
[03:27] <sake> so dont cuss
[03:27] <ubd> linux cannot dial a 7 digit number!
[03:27] <ubd> yes i read most of it
[03:28] <knome> what about reading the parts you didn't read?
[03:28] <sake> then take off the country code smart one
[03:28] <ubd> the ones about network boot via dial up?
[03:28] <cody-somerville> sake, No need to get sarcastic either ;)
[03:28] <sake> sri
[03:29] <ubd> yes sake pls dont make fun of me
[03:29] <sake> sri
[03:29] <ubd> just becuz i cannot configure my modem doesnot mean i am necessarily inferior
[03:29] <cody-somerville> ubd, What have you tried thus far?
[03:29]  * sake says sorry to ubd
[03:29] <ubd> nothing
[03:30] <cody-somerville> Okay, so the first step is to identify what type of modem you have.
[03:30] <ubd> i know that my modem has a conexant chip
[03:30] <cody-somerville> ubd, What version of Xubuntu do you have?
[03:30] <pteague_work> what's the keyboard shortcut for opening the applications menu?
[03:30] <sake> ubd, i have idea install chestnut dialer
[03:30] <ubd> latest version
[03:31] <sake> ubd, i heard its gud
[03:31] <cody-somerville> ubd, So Xubuntu 9.04?
[03:31] <ubd> yes
[03:31] <ubd> i just installed it
[03:31] <ubd> cuz i couldnt connect with another distro
[03:32] <ubd> how can i learn if xxubuntu knows that i have a modem
[03:32] <ubd> lspci?
[03:33] <cody-somerville> ubd, Is your modem a PCI card?
[03:33] <ubd> this is a laptop
[03:34] <cody-somerville> ubd, Try running sudo lshw and then pastebin the output on pastebin.ubuntu.com
[03:36] <ubd> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/237952/
[03:39] <cody-somerville> ubd, It appears you have an Intel Sound card with built in modem
[03:39] <ubd> sound card with modem?
[03:40] <cody-somerville> yes
[03:40] <ubd> engineers  who made this are not audiophiles for sure
[03:40] <ubd> so xubuntu sees my modem?
[03:41] <cody-somerville> Sure. However, I'm quite sure that Xubuntu doesn't know how to use it - not yet atleast.
[03:41] <ubd> hmm
[03:42] <sake> ubd, this is almost like when i tried to install a network comp
[03:42] <sake> the solution turned out to be really simple
[03:43] <sake> so ur answer might be really simple
[03:43] <sake> but u ovrlooked
[03:43] <ubd> well
[03:43] <ubd> ill brb,  i have to change my room
[03:45] <cody-somerville> ubd, You can try using this http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/downloads-installer.php
[03:46] <cody-somerville> You can get a deb package from here: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
[03:46] <cody-somerville> Anyhow, I need to get to bed
[03:46] <cody-somerville> Best of luck ubd

[03:54] <billybigrigger> does anyone here use gnome-do?
[03:55] <billybigrigger> and does the Workspace Switcher plugin not work in XFCE?
[03:55] <billybigrigger> works fine in gnome, but it only shows 1 workspace, when i actually have 2
[04:04] <pteague_work> i think the gnome desktop doesn't completely adhere to the open desktop standard &/or gnome-do may be accessing extended functionality of gnome workspace...  that's a guess, i've not used gnome-do before...  what are you using gnome-do for?
[05:20] <ubd>    i istalled the drivers, everything is fine i theory
[05:20] <ubd> when i dial, i hear the numbers regarless of the phone connected or not
[05:20] <ubd> and nothing haappens
[05:20] <ubd> lol

[09:44] <hatake_kakashi> does anyone know how to get out of sysrq mode?
[09:46] <hatake_kakashi> for some reason I'm stuck in this place where the keyboard bindings are all messed up and sometimes using the sequence Ctrl+Alt+Scroll lock I get a little SysRq help menu but with those key combinations I do not know how to either activate them or disactivate them
[09:54] <hatake_kakashi> nm I managed to get out of sysrq by issuing alt+sysrq+o
[09:55] <hatake_kakashi> issued poweroff in other words :p thank goodness for having other computers nearby to see how one is supposed to get the key combos
[10:11] <jadez03> Fent, yeah. I concur with quite a bit of them. My latency can be around 900ms average.

[11:18] <psycho_oreos> anyone tried getting remote desktop to work? I'm trying the xdmcp + xvnc guide but all I'm getting is a checkered background with a X as mouse cursor. I'm running jaunty and I suspect the issue lies with xdmcp which is part of gdm
[17:46] <TugboatJones> Can somebody please just reassure me that it's worth all this hassle to migrate my files?
[17:49] <moodog> evening
[17:57] <Besogon> 20:57 Moskow time
[19:48] <slworks> Hi all!
[19:49] <slworks> I've got a little problem with the install process of Jaunty...
[19:50] <slworks> during install the installer goes red and says that the step 'installing software' has failed...
[19:51] <slworks> well, i installed anyway, but now the system won't load the lists from the repositories... ( the sources.list was empty, but i wrote in the correct sources )
[19:51] <vidd> slworks, bad cd burn?
[19:51] <slworks> any ideas what i could do to fix it?
[19:51] <slworks> um.. dunno.. could be...
[19:51] <slworks> but i remember that the checksum was right.
[19:52] <slworks> anyhow, the burner is in the office and this laptop i'm writing from is a piece of junk... its burner isn't working.
[19:53] <slworks> any ideas what i could do with the apt lists? it intalls nicely from the cd, but i always get a 404 for the online repositories.
[19:54] <vidd> can you ping your router?
[19:54] <slworks> yes.
[19:54] <slworks> and even any address outside the router.
[19:54] <slworks> even wget works
[20:04] <slworks> uh. i think i got it... but thanks anyway.
[20:04] <slworks> bye guys!
