xsebsxis there a xubuntu for macs?04:46
xsebsxthere's a mac laptop that i want to install xubuntu in04:46
MTec007xsebsx, is it an intel mac?04:54
xsebsxMTec007: how do i find out?05:02
xsebsxwhy? i'm here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/ports/releases/jaunty/release/ and i only see one option for macs05:02
xsebsxit's one of these white laptops05:02
xsebsxhow would it make a difference?05:03
xsebsxi am downloading the alternate mac image just in case, is that ok?05:05
MTec007it matters plenty05:06
MTec007if theres an image for mac use it05:07
xsebsxbut that's the only option i see? i only see that option and the mac alternate which is what i'm downloading05:07
xsebsxhow do i check if it's an intel mac?05:07
xsebsxi have an amd laptop for example05:07
MTec007but i also found this link which you may or may not need: http://lifehacker.com/256395/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-a-mac05:08
xsebsxand kubuntu works fine on it05:08
MTec007i dont know, i dont like macs, i dont know anything about them, and i dont want to either :P05:08
MTec007i'd say it will work if kubuntu does05:09
xsebsxbut i mean what does it matter if it's intel or not? i have a non mac amd processor and it works fine05:09
xsebsxno no mine is not a mac it's an hp05:09

xubhello chan18:52
BesogonIs there any tools for creaing menu in xubuntu?18:56
xubI'm trying to understand where NetworkManager saves the network connection settings to my wlan... but have no idea where to start, /etc/network/interfaces and similar seem to be empty :-/18:56
Besogonxub, Why don't you use wpa-supplicant???18:57
xubI tried weeks (literally weeks) to get my wifi card to work configuring the net via console, but nothing is working... now NetworkManager seems to be able to deal with it without problems, would be nice to know how !19:00
Besogonxub, iwlist scanning very useful for searcing configurations WiFi. I 'v used that for make wpa-supplicant work19:00
Besogonxub, you can find out more information there http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57118819:02
xubthanks for the link, already tried that :-(19:04
xuband how can iwlist help ? :-/19:04
xuband BTW, if networkmanager is able to reconnect after it's being stopped and started again, it means it has to store that info somewhere.... !!19:05
Besogonxub, iwlist will tell you options for wpa-supplicant.19:05
xubBesogon: thanks, but you're not really helping... lol19:06
Besogonxub, what Wifi do you actually have? (WEP, WPA-PSK may be, I made one wpa-psk connection) To concern the iwlist: iwlist will get to you options: group, parwise, key_mgmt...19:09
xubBesogon: wpa2-psk from an eeebox19:13
xubBesogon: but I still don't understand how NetworkManager stores information...19:13
xubI practically raped google for information this last weeks, but nothing, apart from the gui-configuration, seems to be working !19:16
Besogonxub, Are your Wifi working now? If it's true then make iwlist scanning. After that let me see at it19:19
xubsent :)19:24

mikubuntuThe_Sheep: i tried every setting i could find from the skype support page you gave me, but nothing works in the end... i had several times success testing the audio input outside of skype, but when i tested within skype it faild ... arrrrggghhhh...23:33
mikubuntucigarette break, go clear my head ... brb23:33
mikubuntudon't know what the problem could be.  i tried removing pulseaudio and installing esound, but then i got no sound in any configuration i tried, so i reinstalled pulseaudio ...23:52
