| proq | I'm having trouble creating a usplash for xubuntu 9.04. when I apt-get source the xubuntu splash package, change the images and build, xubuntu doesn't recognize the resulting .so file. but I can do this fine in ubuntu | 00:05 |
| proq | the startup manager doesn't report any errors when choosing this file, but xubuntu doesn't use the art on startup and shutdown - it just displays text instead | 00:13 |
| server_side | is xubuntu just ubuntu with xfce enviroment? | 00:16 |
| pteague_work | out of curiosity... what font size is the text in the xfce4 panels by xubuntu default | 00:23 |
| pteague_work | found it... that's weird that the xfce font size of 10 is about half the size of the kde font size of 9 >.> | 00:27 |
| ToStItOs | Darth Tux: How do I set up a external dial up modem | 01:18 |
| ToStItOs | I mean is it plug and play ? | 01:18 |
| Darth_Tux | it might be | 01:19 |
| Darth_Tux | not sure | 01:19 |
| Darth_Tux | what kind did you get/ | 01:19 |
| ToStItOs | Trendent | 01:19 |
| ToStItOs | I don't need to install drivers right? | 01:20 |
| Darth_Tux | hold on, looking | 01:20 |
| ToStItOs | its the 560x model | 01:20 |
| ToStItOs | I looked on the main page and that model is compatible with linux | 01:21 |
| ToStItOs | I am just trying to figure out how to set up | 01:22 |
| Darth_Tux | well, i would try to see if it is plug n play in xubuntu | 01:22 |
| ToStItOs | so when I bring up Gnome ppp do I just do a auto detect on the modem? | 01:23 |
| Darth_Tux | http://howto-ubuntu.com/2008/03/03/how-to-dial-up-internet-on-ubuntu-with-gnome-ppp/ | 01:25 |
| ToStItOs | So I guess I do auto detect huh? | 01:28 |
| Darth_Tux | i would try that | 01:29 |
| Darth_Tux | and then ppp | 01:29 |
| ToStItOs | The computer should detect the modem through the serial port correct? | 01:29 |
| ToStItOs | Once I hit the auto detect it should find it? | 01:31 |
| Darth_Tux | usb | 01:32 |
| ToStItOs | The modem I ordered is RS-232 | 01:33 |
| happy-dude | hiya, I have a question:: how do I change my screensaver settings such that it has a login when it resumes activity? | 01:34 |
| happy-dude | (perferably, I would rather do this via a terminal command rather than the GUI tool) | 01:34 |
| happy-dude | nvm -- found it ^^ | 01:35 |
| ToStItOs | Darth_Tux it should detect | 01:35 |
| Darth_Tux | i think so | 01:36 |
| Darth_Tux | but i could be wrong | 01:36 |
| ToStItOs | I'll mess with it when I get it | 01:36 |
| ToStItOs | I just wanted to know | 01:36 |
| Darth_Tux | np, hope i helped | 01:36 |
| ToStItOs | U did thanks a lot I appreciate the support | 01:37 |
| Darth_Tux | my pleasure | 01:38 |
| ToStItOs | I'll post back when I get it if I have problems or if it is working I'll come back thanks Darth Tux | 01:38 |

| Darth_Tux | i believe this is what you are looking for https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome | 01:56 |
| newdev | thanks a lot Darth_Tux | 01:59 |
| Darth_Tux | newdev, let me know how it does | 02:03 |
| newdev | Darth_Tux: i have installed the graphics driver | 02:03 |
| newdev | sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-openchrome | 02:03 |
| newdev | how can i change the resolution now? | 02:03 |
| Darth_Tux | i would try logging out and in | 02:04 |

| acmeinc | Has anyone had any experience with virt-manager here? | 02:58 |
| acmeinc | Has anyone had a problem where virt-manager opens off of the main window. I've tried it on several machines, each very different. Virt-manager opens off of the top left of the screen each time. The problem seems to be specific to xubuntu as I was unable to reproduce in ubuntu. | 03:09 |
| ubantu_dude | Hi Pici | 03:19 |

| megamanx1978 | can someone help with a xfce problem? | 06:20 |
| waan | How do you edit menu items, I have installed firefox 3.5 but the menu still points to the old firefox | 07:30 |
| Jhodas | morning channel | 11:17 |
| Jhodas | have the keyboard shortcuts changed in 9.04? I used to be able to resize and move windows with the kayboard but I cant now | 11:19 |
| SystemParadox | afternoon | 12:58 |
| SystemParadox | I've been messing with settings and startup scripts for xfce, and I've just noticed that a black rectangle (about 6x10 pixels) has appeared in the the top left of my screen. xwininfo for that area just says it belongs to the panel | 12:59 |
| SystemParadox | any ideas? | 13:00 |
| SystemParadox | the other issue I have is that totem is now opening every time I login. This is a very slow machine so I cannot have things like that happen. | 13:00 |
| TheSheep | SystemParadox: delete ~/.cache/sessions/* | 13:08 |
| SystemParadox | aha that looks promising | 13:10 |
| SystemParadox | ooo the black square is gone too | 13:10 |
| SystemParadox | next question: how can I remove hibernate from the shutdown options? It blows up on this machine | 13:11 |
| SystemParadox | does xfce use the gnome power settings? I set the can_hibernate in gconf to false and set it as required, but it hasn't changed anything in xfce | 13:12 |
| SystemParadox | yey totem doesn't autostart anymore. Thanks TheSheep | 13:15 |
| SystemParadox | eh? apparently there's supposed to be options for suspend/hibernate in the session and startup config, along with the session manager setting. There isn't in mine. | 13:19 |
| SystemParadox | Where did it go? | 13:19 |
| SystemParadox | seems that the gnome power manager tray icon settings doesn't have suspend as an option either | 13:20 |
| SystemParadox | (nor hibernate) | 13:20 |
| Darth_Tux | hi th0r | 15:54 |
| Darth_Tux | anyone know how to auto arrange the icons on the desktop? | 15:55 |
| likemindead | Quick question: What's the default media player for an audio CD in Xubuntu 8.04? | 16:13 |
| Darth_Tux | likemindead, i am not sure, someone will though | 16:14 |
| likemindead | It's a bit strange, but my LUG has a bunch of old computers that we loaded up with Xubuntu 8.04 to donate to those in need. | 16:14 |
| Darth_Tux | that is nicce | 16:15 |
| Darth_Tux | nice | 16:15 |
| likemindead | I performed updates on one & gave it to one of my wife's co-workers for her daughter. | 16:15 |
| likemindead | She just emailed me asking how to play a CD. | 16:15 |
| likemindead | I can't remember! | 16:16 |
| Darth_Tux | i am not running xubuntu atm | 16:16 |
| likemindead | Ha... me either... (CrunchBang here)... | 16:17 |
| deathtech | Sup fellas | 16:17 |
| likemindead | Does Xubuntu come with the codecs needed to play audio CDs out of the box? | 16:17 |
| Darth_Tux | hiya deathtech | 16:17 |
| likemindead | AHoy. | 16:17 |
| Darth_Tux | likemindead, i have a flakey cd drive, i dont even try to play cds | 16:18 |
| Darth_Tux | i dont think the codecs are installed out of the box though | 16:18 |
| Darth_Tux | could be wrong | 16:18 |
| deathtech | I am no expert at programming, but i have a general understanding of the concepts and procedures (old school batch file writer from teh BBS days, SMS Scripting) and i would like to expand my horizons. Im looking for some fingers to point me in the right directions to find an IDE / Language that would be relatively easy to pick up on, but wouldnt be a waste of my time learning | 16:18 |
| likemindead | I think you're right. | 16:18 |
| deathtech | Thoughts ? | 16:18 |
| likemindead | I think Python is the way to go. | 16:19 |
| Darth_Tux | i havent a clue likemindead | 16:19 |
| deathtech | Likeminded : i have heard a lot about that, i thought for some reason that language's time had come and passed, its still considered a pretty good language ? especialy for learning ? | 16:20 |
| likemindead | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_%28programming_language%29 | 16:21 |
| likemindead | I think so. | 16:21 |
| deathtech | Is there a recommended (n00b) ide ? | 16:21 |
| Darth_Tux | ide? | 16:21 |
| deathtech | Interactive Development Environment ( i think) | 16:22 |
| deathtech | sorta like netbeans | 16:22 |
| Darth_Tux | never used it | 16:22 |
| Darth_Tux | i have used eclipse and bluej | 16:22 |
| deathtech | I have heard of eclipse before, good stuff ? | 16:23 |
| Darth_Tux | its ok as i recall | 16:23 |
| deathtech | anything else you may recommend ? | 16:23 |
| Darth_Tux | running linux? | 16:23 |
| deathtech | Yes, and some MS Stuff | 16:24 |
| Darth_Tux | integrated Dev Environ | 16:24 |
| deathtech | ^ Ill go with that :) | 16:24 |
| Darth_Tux | here is a link to many http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Devtools/ides.html | 16:25 |
| Darth_Tux | i would suggest trying a few till you get what you like, and ask people smarter than me lol | 16:26 |
| deathtech | Thanks , Darth :) | 16:26 |

| todor | hi | 18:25 |
| Roks | Hello guys | 19:57 |
| Roks | I was just wondering, how does Xubuntu get along with 3G broadbands nowadays? | 19:58 |
| Roks | I've used Ubuntu several times before and I remembered all the networking as a complete hell, and now I | 19:58 |
| Roks | I'm trying to give my old laptop a revival. I do not need any specific programs, just the basics, but I do need my broadband to work | 19:59 |
| Roks | So if anyone here has had any experience with this, please share it | 20:00 |
| Roks | Anyone? | 20:23 |
| cody-somerville | network-manager should support it out of the box | 20:24 |
| Roks | Even with an external USB-modem? I recall having to download something seperately on windows in order to get it in function | 20:26 |
| cody-somerville | Right click the network manager icon and then click "Edit Connections..." | 20:30 |
| cody-somerville | Then click on the Mobile Broadband tab | 20:31 |
| cody-somerville | and click add | 20:31 |
| cody-somerville | It should work if your device is supported | 20:31 |
| Roks | Great, do you know how to check if it is? I mean, before installing the whole system? | 20:31 |
| zoredache | Roks: a simple step might be to find the model of the card and search for it on google combined with the terms linux and ubuntu | 20:38 |
| Roks | Which card? I don't really know where the problem lies here...is it the network card or the USB-modem that will have a hard time working? | 20:40 |
| cody-somerville | Roks, the only way you'll be able to find out is if you try | 20:50 |
| Roks | Ok, thank you for your help, I guess it's trial and error from here on then | 20:51 |
| MTec007 | how would i compile a very small program for use on windows? it was made for windows and would only be useful for windows but i find myself needing to recompile it now | 21:06 |
| MTec007 | i have a makefile.win that was used in devC++ | 21:09 |
| MTec007 | it has 1 .h one .c and one .res and one .rc file for the entire program | 21:15 |
| proq | which package provides xfce for xubuntu? it's obviously not xfce4, as that can be apt-get installed | 22:32 |
| th0r | proq: it is xfce4. Everything that makes up xubuntu can be installed a piece at a time | 22:34 |
| proq | why is it then that I can install xfce4 on my xubuntu system? | 22:35 |
| proq | it should tell me that it is already installed | 22:35 |
| zoredache | proq: what does it tell you? | 23:05 |
| proq | zoredache: it just installs it | 23:06 |
| proq | this is i386, xubuntu 9.04 | 23:06 |
| zoredache | and what package manager are you using? | 23:06 |
| proq | aptitude. I'm running apt-get install xfce4 | 23:07 |
| proq | it's not a big deal. it just made me curious as to what apt thought the xfce package was really called | 23:07 |
| zoredache | the meta package that does all of xubuntu is xubuntu-desktop. If you look at the xubuntu-desktop package you can see all the packages it depends/reccomends on | 23:08 |
