[00:28] <Flare183> How do I enable sounds for certain events like in GNOME/Ubuntu?
[00:55] <planetary> anyone know why slackerradio wont play? i another xubuntu system and it does. both have restricted extras installed
[01:45] <Mikess> Can I get video preview icons in xfce like ubuntu ?
[01:46] <th0r> Mikess: yess, but I am not sure how I arranged it.
[01:46] <Raggs> Mikess, i believe so
[01:46] <Mikess> ok tell me more :)
[01:46] <Mikess> I have pic preview
[01:46] <Mikess> I am new to xfce,,from fat kde 4,,, ;)
[01:47] <Raggs> i am looking
[01:47] <Raggs> in avi i have preview icon
[01:49] <Raggs> not in avi, i have a preview of an ivi file
[01:51] <Mikess> ivi ?
[01:51] <Raggs> avi, type of video
[01:52] <Mikess> yes avi ,mpeg,,mpg etc
[01:53] <Raggs> Mikess, from what i am learning from Google Nautilus makes that happen
[01:54] <Mikess> hmm though so
[01:54] <Mikess> can be installed on xfce as well I guess
[01:55] <Mikess> Would replace thunar though ?
[01:55] <Raggs> Mikess, i woudnt, but i dont mind not having the previews
[01:56] <Mikess> Yes no big issue :)
[01:56] <Raggs> agreed
[01:56] <Mikess> Very impressed with xfce :)
[01:56] <Raggs> it is nice
[01:57] <Raggs> smaller than gnome, but useable
[01:57] <th0r> Mikess: I think the previews are a thunar plugin....I think they come from thunar-thumbnailers
[01:57] <Mikess> cheers will check ;)
[01:58] <Raggs> th0r, i think that is installed by default as well
[01:59] <Mikess>  ffmpegthumbnailer as well :)
[02:00] <Mikess> tell you if it works 1 min
[02:01] <th0r> Raggs: might be. I installed generic ubuntu first, then added xfce afterwards, but I know I am not running anything gnome related now and I have the video previews
[02:01] <th0r> Raggs: I did have to install most of the plugins afterwards....didn't install xubuntu-desktop and found that a lot of such things were omitted because of my error
[02:01] <th0r> Mikess: missed that one...thanks
[02:02] <Raggs> th0r, i am running xubuntu, it is there
[02:02] <th0r> Raggs: yeah, now, after the fact, I wish I had opted for xubuntu. But I had an ubuntu live cd so figured I could just add after.....missed a lot of little things by doing that
[02:03] <Raggs> i am sure, xubuntu still has quite a bit of gnome in it
[02:03] <Mikess> yes many libs.,.,,
[02:04] <Mikess> No preview yet
[02:04] <Raggs> the games are all gnome as well
[02:04] <Mikess> will log out/in brb
[02:04] <th0r> I have turned off most of the gnome stuff. Moved to wicd instead of network mangler, installed non-gnome solitaire and the like, dumped the gnome power management....ps doesn't show much gnome anymore
[02:05] <Mikess> hmm still none
[02:05] <Raggs> i do know that Debian with xfce4 installed as default is a bit quicker and smaller
[02:07] <th0r> Mikess: installing ffmpegthumbnailer actually gave me the last few missing video thumbnails I was missing...always wondered why they weren t there
[02:07] <Mikess> he he and I have none ,, hmm sounds not fair ;)
[02:08] <th0r> just looked through ps and the only thing I have even beginning with g is gdm. I am pretty sure the video thumbnails is an xfce thing...just need to figure out what you are missing
[02:09] <Mikess> yes true
[02:09] <Mikess> must be in thunar settings ?
[02:10] <th0r> Mikess: according to synaptic the package thunar-thumbnailers provides thumbnails for video files
[02:11] <th0r> it does mention needing ffmpegthumbnailer for that...so I am surprised it wasn't a dep
[02:11] <Mikess> yes i have installed them ,,Does it give you the option in thunar settings ?
[02:12] <th0r> I see no option in thunar....just set it to View as icons
[02:13] <Mikess> I have it ,,"show hidden files " :)
[02:13] <th0r> no...I have that turned off
[02:13] <th0r> did that solve it for you?
[02:16] <Raggs> th0r, how long have you been using buntu?
[02:16] <Mikess> It did but not ideal,,better I simply unchecked all emblems
[02:16] <th0r> had dapper installed for a long time, but had to replace the computer last year and only got jaunty installed about two months ago
[02:17] <Mikess> so in thumbnails no icons are selected :)
[02:17] <th0r> I was going to ask about the emblems...I noticed that all mine werre unchecked
[02:17] <Mikess> awsm
[02:17] <Mikess> Better than kde 4.2 :)
[02:18] <th0r> I used xfce for years....was originally a redhat user, then suse, then ubuntu...so I have developed a long term relationship with xfce.
[02:18] <th0r> went to xfce when the dev team moved from e16 to e17...I loved e16
[02:19] <Mikess> Thought I had seen your nick before :)
[02:19] <Mikess> I tried them both
[02:24] <Mikess> totem is not working missing codecs
[02:24] <Raggs> add em :D
[02:24] <Mikess> GStreamer is installed
[02:24] <Mikess> thought that took care of most ?
[02:25] <th0r> dump totem...use vlc
[02:28] <Mikess> ok
[02:28] <Mikess> :)
[02:28] <th0r> I have never successfully config'd totem....never got it to work right
[02:29] <Mikess> me either
[02:30] <Raggs> mine works i think
[02:30] <Mikess> vlc installed and playing :)
[02:31] <th0r> I use vlc for everything nowadays. Since they abandoned xmms vlc is the only dependable player for audio or video I have found (well...mplayer is still there for video)
[02:31] <Mikess> Hell forgot about it,,has always been a hell good player
[02:31] <Mikess> cpu friendly as well
[02:31] <th0r> Mikess: that is what I like about it...I am anal about system resources
[02:32] <Mikess> video going cpu = 3 % :)
[02:32] <Mikess> -5
[02:34] <Mikess> I have tried many and xfce is the best so far
[04:10] <MTeck> You guys have any idea what I could use other than network-manager that can handle openvpn?
[04:11] <Raggs> does wicd handle it?
[04:12] <th0r> I think wicd does not, you have to handle the vpn separately when using wicd
[04:13] <th0r> there is some decent info on the web about it, just happened on it the other day
[04:13] <osx5> hello all
[04:13] <osx5> I just got an acer aspire one netbook and put xubuntu on it, I have a 1366 resolution but its only allowing 1024 , does anyone know if I can fix this?
[04:17] <MTeck> Raggs: doesn't look like that - i like this aside from that fact
[04:17] <MTeck> I suppose I could do openvpn from cli
[04:32] <MT-> ok - awesome thing about wicd - client doesn't need to keep running to keep internet
[04:33] <MT-> I killed that other system - thanks to who suggested it
[06:08] <jjara> need help in configuration of ubuntu 9.04 server
[06:10] <_Pete_> http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-9.04-ispconfig-2
[06:14] <DiecastMessiah> can someone give me idea what i need to do about this error
[06:14] <DiecastMessiah> symbol lookup error: slitechat: undefined symbol: _ZN10QTabWidget15setTabsClosableEb
[06:14] <LierXAgerate> hi
[06:14] <LierXAgerate> is anyone here?
[06:15] <jjara> yes
[06:15] <LierXAgerate> Is this where I can ask tech support questions?
[06:15] <DiecastMessiah> hailz
[06:15] <jjara> yes
[06:15] <LierXAgerate> Ok thanks
[06:16] <LierXAgerate> I have an old IBM thinkpad that I am trying to install xubuntu on, it only has 256mb ram, a 5 gig hard drive, and a pentium 3 processor
[06:16] <DiecastMessiah> normaller better to just ask the question here to..
[06:16] <jjara> can any body help me in the configuration of ubuntu server 9.04
[06:16] <LierXAgerate> I burnt a cd with xubuntu on it and I am trying to boot it from that
[06:16] <_Pete_> jjara_ http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-9.04-ispconfig-2
[06:17] <LierXAgerate> but when I go to "install xubuntu" I keep getting an error saying "Error reading from boot cd"
[06:17] <LierXAgerate> the cd works fine on my good computer though
[06:17] <LierXAgerate> when I go into f1 help it says this distribution of ubuntu requires 384 mb ram
[06:18] <DiecastMessiah> maybe the rom is dead or something on the laptop
[06:18] <LierXAgerate> but I thought 256 was enough
[06:18] <jjara> Pete: my problem is the remote connection ssh or telnet it keeps disconnecting  in a period or time even http
[06:18] <DiecastMessiah> yeah that should be lots for xubuntu
[06:18] <LierXAgerate> is there any way to boot xubuntu from a floppy?
[06:19] <DiecastMessiah> not sure
[06:19] <LierXAgerate> is there a linux distro with even lower requirements ?
[06:19] <DiecastMessiah> well from the error it sound like you cdrom in the machine is no longer good
[06:19] <_Pete_> LierXAgerate: yes, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy
[06:20] <DiecastMessiah> they only last so long
[06:20] <DiecastMessiah> have you ever had problem with loading or copy cd's?
[06:20] <LierXAgerate> hmm ok
[06:20] <LierXAgerate> I just got this old laptop today
[06:20] <LierXAgerate> I just wanted to use it to teach myself the ins and outs of linux
[06:21] <LierXAgerate> it runs windows 98 poorly
[06:21] <DiecastMessiah> ok well i would say try to burn the cd.. on a different machine.. but as slow of a burn as you can about 2 or 4x burn
[06:21] <DiecastMessiah> and see if that will load.. and if getting the same error.. then it the rom
[06:22] <LierXAgerate> yeah I burtn this one on 24x burn
[06:22] <DiecastMessiah> oh yeah maybe that will help.. the slower the burn the better it burns
[06:23] <LierXAgerate> When I pop the cd into the machine it won't load, but when I put it into the machine I burnt it on it loads right away
[06:23] <DiecastMessiah> 4x will only take 20min or less
[06:23] <LierXAgerate> is it just because the older machine has an older cd drive?
[06:23] <LierXAgerate> so it needs a slower burn?
[06:24] <LierXAgerate> i'm not sure if that makes sense
[06:24] <DiecastMessiah> well cd roms only last so long..
[06:24] <LierXAgerate> Okay well I will go buy some cds tommorow and try again
[06:24] <LierXAgerate> Thank you very much for your help
[06:24] <DiecastMessiah> it getting old... doesn't mean it needs a slow burn... but i find it make better cd's
[06:24] <DiecastMessiah> and maybe easier for that old rom to read it
[06:24] <DiecastMessiah> no problem
[06:25] <LierXAgerate> if not I will try the floppy method
[06:25] <LierXAgerate> good night
[06:25] <DiecastMessiah> nightnite
[06:29] <DiecastMessiah> symbol lookup error ?? what may that be... just need a point in the right direction
[06:29] <jjara> hi guys
[06:30] <jjara> any solution to my problem
[06:31] <DiecastMessiah> i have no idea sorry
[06:59] <DiecastMessiah> looking around seem like a link problem of sometype but cannot find a good answer on on the web
[08:06] <nikolam> packages.ubuntu.com, down again..
[10:29] <turtle_> hi! I'm after some help
[10:29] <turtle_> I think something has seriously gone wrong with my install
[10:31] <jdb> explain your problem please :)
[10:32] <turtle_> ok I'll do my best
[10:32] <turtle_> I was surfing the web with transmission and rhythmbox running in the background
[10:32] <turtle_> transmission froze so I did a force close
[10:33] <turtle_> then when I ran synaptic it said "fail to load as root"
[10:33] <turtle_> so I did a restart
[10:33] <turtle_> when it reloaded all my panels have been scrapped
[10:33] <turtle_> and I now cannot open ISO filed
[10:33] <turtle_> *files
[10:33] <turtle_> I think something might be corrupt somehow
[10:34] <turtle_> I'm a recent windoze convert so I'm still getting grips with everything, which is why I'm stuck :/
[10:35] <jdb> did you check your harddisk with fsck ?
[10:36] <turtle_> nope
[10:37] <turtle_> just punched it in to a terminal and it says running it on a mounted filesystem may cause severe damage
[10:39] <turtle_> should I continue?
[10:41] <jdb> boot in rescue mode, or try booting from a livecd
[10:41] <turtle_> ok
[10:41] <turtle_> am I correct in presuming that fsck is similar to windoze's fdisk?
[10:43] <Laibsch> How do I found out the exact command that is run when I click on a menu entry?
[10:46] <turtle_> jdb: now the update manager is telling me i have unmet dependancies, does this confirm a corrupt file system?
[10:47] <jdb> turtle_: possible, but difficult to say
[10:48] <jdb> fsck is more the equivalent of checkdisk
[10:50] <turtle_> will slackware have fsck? I think I put puppylinux on a usb stick a while back
[10:55] <jdb> i guess every distro has that
[10:55] <jdb> i dont know slackware that well :)
[10:57] <turtle_> me neither but I'll have to take what I can get :P
[11:01] <th0r> Laibsch: you can see it in the process list in a terminal (ps ax)
[11:02] <Laibsch> well, there's got to be a better
[11:02] <Laibsch> way
[11:02] <th0r> Laibsch: you can also see it in the .desktop file
[11:03] <Laibsch> For example, right now I'm trying to find out why "System - New Login in a Window" does not work
[11:03] <Laibsch> that one will never show up in the process list
[11:03] <Laibsch> except for a split second
[11:03] <th0r> Laibsch: actually, it should show up until you have completed the login
[11:04] <th0r> but it is probably just a terminal session
[11:05] <Laibsch> th0r, read again what I wrote
[11:05] <Laibsch> the process never really starts
[11:05] <th0r> Laibsch: never mind...sorry I said anything
[11:05] <Laibsch> sheesh
[11:06] <Laibsch> thanks for giving it a shot
[11:54] <jdb> gnomefreak has joined #xubuntu ^^
[12:00] <gnomefreak> jdb: i know i joined the channel :)
[12:02] <jdb> kind of strange with such a nick :)
[12:13] <gnomefreak> jdb: im strange but im also in kubuntu* alot of ubuntu channels (~35 channels in all some non ubuntu related)
[12:18] <jdb> i dont like kde, so i'm not in kubuntu :)
[12:21] <Mikexfce> allll good :)
[14:15] <zhxk`> folks, i need enable runlevel at menu.lst, advice me
[14:44] <zhxk`> folks, i need enable runlevel at menu.lst so that have oppertunity choose to boot into cli or gdm, i've tried add a number at the end of paratmeters to kernel but it wont work, advice me, thank you!
[14:57] <jdb> just start in recovery mode?
[14:59] <jdb> add single to the kernel in menu.lst
[17:20] <proq> that topic is a bit old.  xubuntu 9.10 is out (in alpha)
[17:21] <proq> anyhow.  I created a usplash on ubuntu and then switched to xubuntu and my usplash does not load.  is there a reason for this?
[19:08] <Gamoid> Hi. I'm trying to help a friend install Xubuntu on a (comparatively) ancient laptop, but I'm getting all sorts of weird I/O errors on install. Would anyone be willing to spare a couple minutes and help me out?
[19:28] <forces> Gamoid, what kind of problem do you have?
[19:30] <Gamoid> Well, the computer boots from the CD just fine. Then, whether I select Use Xubuntu Without Making Changes or Install, it goes for a minute then starts endlessly returning errors, like "I/O error drive sector <blahblahblah>"
[19:32] <Gamoid> Ah, here it is. "Buffer I/O error on device sr0"
[19:32] <Gamoid> Over and over again.
[19:32] <proq> that usually indicates it can't read the CD
[19:33] <Gamoid> I think there was an error in burning the disc, actually.
[19:34] <SiDi> Gamoid: if it didnt burn well then it may be unreadable ;)
[19:35] <Gamoid> Well, yeah. :-p I only realized after I made my initial query.
[19:36] <SiDi> You should use the "check CD integrity" option on the CD
[19:36] <Gamoid> I just did, it returned an error.
[19:36] <SiDi> and if it fails to perform the burning very likely failed
[19:36]  * SiDi wishes all i/o errors on sr0 were so simple :P
[19:37] <Gamoid> I'm actually about to try a different distro, just to test if it's my burner or his drive or the alignment of Jupiter with Venus in the fifth parallel or what.
[19:37] <SiDi> 9th parallel *
[19:37]  * SiDi hides
[20:48] <Ahmuck-Jr> where can i find cd art?
[22:14] <slow-motion> hi
[22:28] <taiyedbrodel> I don't know why firefox is so awfully slow when searching for a file to upload or a dir for downloading an image, is this firefox fault? or xubuntu's fault?
