[01:23] <koolkat> is xubuntu a good os for playing media files? does it have movieplayer and vlc and totem and flash?
[01:24] <knome> koolkat, you can install all of those.
[01:25] <koolkat> does movieplayer come preinstalled?
[01:25] <knome> yes, one comes, but i can't remember which one
[01:25] <knome> !media
[01:26] <knome> i suppose it's totem.
[01:27] <koolkat> what is mplayer?
[01:27] <knome> it's a media player.
[01:27] <koolkat> is it movieplayer?
[01:27] <knome> yes, it can play videos.
[01:28] <koolkat> is it the mediaplayer "movieplayer"?
[01:28] <knome> sorry, i don't understand your question. can you try to rephrase?
[01:29] <koolkat> there is a media player called "Movie Player 2.26.1". Is Mplayer the exact same  thing?
[01:31] <koolkat> is xubuntu better for virtual machines?
[01:32] <Darth_Tux> koolkat, better than?
[01:32] <koolkat> ubuntu
[01:32] <Darth_Tux> probably about the same
[01:32] <koolkat> i thought there was less overhead
[01:32] <koolkat> less ram used
[01:33] <koolkat> ram is essential with VM's
[01:33] <Darth_Tux> koolkat, i usually run the VM from withing Ubuntu or Debian
[01:33] <majuk> koolkat: MoviePlayer != MPlayer
[01:34] <koolkat> majuk: what?
[01:34] <koolkat> Darth_Tux: what does that have to do with anything?
[01:35] <koolkat> I'm talking about the VM itself
[01:35] <majuk> koolkat: It's the internet, read it again.
[01:35] <majuk> :P
[01:35] <Darth_Tux> koolkat, there is not a huge difference between ubuntu and Xubuntu
[01:35] <koolkat> should the VM be xubuntu or ubuntu?
[01:36] <Darth_Tux> koolkat, which do you prefer?
[01:36] <majuk> koolkat: You realize they're all free and if you don't like one, you can download and try the next.
[01:36] <koolkat> i prefer ubuntu, but if I can save 50 MB of ram, ill take xubuntu.
[01:37] <Darth_Tux> koolkat, why not look for a lighter distro?
[01:37] <majuk> koolkat: If you want to preserve resources, Ubuntu is not the way to go. Any flavor.
[01:37] <koolkat> im running multiple virtual machines
[01:38] <koolkat> ubuntu is the only distro that is easy enough for me to understand
[01:39] <Darth_Tux> koolkat, there are other rather easy distros
[01:39] <majuk> koolkat: Well, then know the difference between flavors (X/K/WEubuntu) is miniscule, pick one and run with it. ;)
[01:40] <koolkat> majuk: don't the differences add up when you're running 3 VM's
[01:40] <Darth_Tux> koolkat, why run 3 VMs?
[01:41] <koolkat> Darth_Tux: what are the easier distros?
[01:41] <Darth_Tux> not easier than ubuntu, but in the same ballpark, Mepis, AntiX, PClinuxOS just off the top of my head
[01:42] <koolkat> which is the easiest?
[01:42] <Darth_Tux> Mepis or PClinux, but AntiX is the smallest of the 3
[01:43] <koolkat> is AntiX easier than xubuntu?
[01:43] <Darth_Tux> dont know, havent messed with it lately
[01:44] <Darth_Tux> koolkat, i am sure it isnt that hard though
[01:45] <Darth_Tux> koolkat, take a look at ithttp://antix.mepis.org/index.php/Main_Page
[01:45] <Darth_Tux> thttp://antix.mepis.org/index.php/Main_Page
[01:53] <koolkat> and pclinux is a small distro?
[01:53] <Darth_Tux> nope
[01:54] <koolkat> why did you mention it then?
[01:55] <Darth_Tux> its good
[01:56] <koolkat> antix doesnt have movieplayer
[01:56] <koolkat> can you install it on there
[01:57] <Darth_Tux> sure
[01:57] <Darth_Tux> Mplayer or MoviePLayer?
[01:57] <koolkat> movieplayer
[01:58] <koolkat> movieplayer is a universal mediaplayer
[01:58] <koolkat> almost like vlc
[01:58] <Darth_Tux> MPlayer plays most everything
[01:59] <koolkat> does it play streams?
[01:59] <Darth_Tux> i believe so
[04:28] <acmeinc> Anyone here have virt-manager experience?
[05:05] <cmanns> aye guys
[05:07] <cmanns> Ever use unetbootin?
[05:58] <majuk> cmanns: I have, yes.
[06:02] <cmanns> was tryin to make a persistent live cd :3
[06:03] <majuk> cmanns: I only used it for non-persistent bootable USB keys.
[06:03] <majuk> So I have no idea.
[06:06] <cmanns> well it didnt work both way :3
[06:06] <cmanns> complained bout missing stuff, though i found out unetbootin didnt reformat the usb disk :3
[07:04] <nikolam> hmpf hello, hello
[07:04] <nikolam> All my .txt and text documents with no extension icons suddenly changed their icons to wine cup
[07:05] <nikolam> How do I get back default icon for text document for xfdesktop and thunar?
[07:28] <Besogon> nikolam, you can try do it by hand at least. (Actually I dont know how bu there that is full dekribed: http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-info-spec-0.18.html#id2505428)
[07:44] <Besogon> nikolam, If you know Russian you could look at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%B7%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B5_MIME_%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BF%D1%8B_%D0%B2_XFCE_%D0%B8_Gnome
[07:53] <Breetai> Anyone know what to change so when new users are created they are automatically members of the puliseaudio group?
[07:58] <forces> add the newuser to audio group
[10:33] <pteague> tell me how this makes sense...  i can use nslookup to find a local server, but trying to actually ssh, ping, etc to it & it can't find the host
[10:36] <ablomen> pteague, and you use the ip adress to ping it etc?
[10:36] <pteague> yes
[10:37] <pteague> i can ssh, ping, etc, but only if i use the ip address...  if i use the hostname it suddenly can't find it even though nslookup retrieves the correct ip address
[10:38] <ablomen> well then there is either something wrong on your pc's dns (check /etc/resolv.conf) or in the dns server it is using
[10:39] <ablomen> i guess you have to add the local dns server to your resolv.conf (if you havnt done so already)
[10:45] <pteague> i'm running xubuntu via vmware fusion on a mactel mbp which probably explains it...  what's funny is ssh can suddenly find the host, but ping is still lost
[11:42] <Gm_DK> hi... i have install a second audio card in my pc and want the new one to be default, i have checked with aplay -D plug:1,0 wav-file that sound is comming trougth... what file shall i make changes in to, to make card 1 default? im using xubuntu 9.04
[13:48] <emil111> Hello, I've been trying to install Ubuntu for days with no luck and now I'm going to try Xubuntu instead. I'm just curious about what are the basic differences? For people involved, it could be a good idea to write this clearly on the website or the wiki
[13:49] <Darth_Tux> hi emil111
[13:49] <Darth_Tux> how are you?
[13:49] <knome> emil111, the basic difference is that ubuntu has gnome as de but xubuntu has xfce
[13:49] <Darth_Tux> knome, agreed
[14:45] <emil111> Hi I'm good thanks
[14:46] <emil111> I don't know the difference, but then it may just not matter to me at all. I'm glad to get it inside my pc :)   Can't understand why but ubuntu won't install, I've burned 3 live cd's, alternate install cd, tried wubi, usb boot, everything
[14:48] <Darth_Tux> emil111, i had that problem as well, the GUI is different is the only difference between ubuntu and Xubuntu
[14:49] <Darth_Tux> brb
[15:22] <SiDi> emil111: it doesnt install, but do you get any error message ?
[15:41] <emil111> I get errors when burning the cd
[15:41] <emil111> I also get an error if I do the "error check for cd" in the ubuntu boot menu
[15:41] <emil111> I can boot live and run for hours without trouble. but it won't install
[15:42] <emil111> when trying to install, it goes until 36% something, then freezes and some error message regarding disk errors
[15:43] <th0r> emil111: did you run the chksum on the iso when you downloaded it?
[15:44] <rob0917> hello all
[16:40] <yann|work> hi - is there a place where I can download a 7.10 xubuntu ?  it is not on old-releases, nor on cdimage/xubuntu/releases/ ...
[16:41] <yann|work> (I'm looking for the "alternate" i386 iso)
[16:56] <[John]> having trouble here; that last software update seems to have broken my sound capability
[19:29] <bogdan__> hello. how can I hide Transmission from the buttom panel?
[19:30] <bogdan__> In ubuntu there is an option under the view menu for the tray icon...I can't see it in xubuntu
[19:31] <knome> in transmission, edit -> preferences -> tab "desktop", see the first checkbox item
[19:31] <knome> i mean, the second
[19:31] <bogdan__> thanks, knome
[19:31] <knome> np.
[19:55] <Nagilum> hi
[19:56] <Nagilum> I have a Voodoo3 2000 connected to a VisionMaster 450, wenn I boot Xubuntu 9.04/9.10 the monitor goes into standby as soon as X starts
[19:57] <Nagilum> I boot from the live cd
[19:58] <Nagilum> what would be the easiest way to make this work properly?
[19:59] <majuk> Get a video card that isn't a decade old? :D
[20:00] <Nagilum> I was more looking towards a solution that didn't involve a screwdriver
[20:01] <majuk> Well, when it happens, alt+f1, log into the console and check dmesg and /var/log/messages for clues
[20:02] <majuk> Could be a bad driver, unsupported resolution, any number of things.
[20:02] <Nagilum> yeah, I'm looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log right now
[20:38] <slow-motion> hi
[22:05] <evilbug> i have x64 9.04 installed on a 2,2 macbook pro and i would like some help on getting a dual monitor setup or at least having the option to disable the laptop monitor when i have another connected.
[22:06] <evilbug> i'm using the default ati driver.
