| popey | I am finding it difficult locating some Xubuntu specific documentation. http://www.google.com/search?&q=xubuntu+help takes me to http://www.xubuntu.org/help which suggests https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu (other links are Ubuntu, not Xubuntu related) | 00:29 |
|---|---|---|
| popey | Then the "Find Help" link on that page takes me back to http://xubuntu.org/help . I am stuck in a loop. | 00:30 |
| popey | Is there indeed any Xubuntu specific documentation? | 00:30 |
| NickDeNeger | sec | 00:46 |
| NickDeNeger | although there is no pure xubuntu documentation i guess, but ubuntu documentation will do it to | 00:47 |
| NickDeNeger | http://doc.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/ | 00:48 |
| NickDeNeger | there is documentation \o/ | 00:49 |

| FelipeUser | lo no wireless extensions | 01:15 |
| FelipeUser | pan0 no wireless extensions | 01:16 |
| fccf | FelipeUser: you need to install ndiswrapper and ndisgtk | 01:16 |
| FelipeUser | ubottu: than | 01:16 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about than | 01:16 |
| fccf | FelipeUser: see how your name is before this text, it is how we communicate in large rooms | 01:16 |
| NickDeNeger | that's all FelipeUser? | 01:16 |
| FelipeUser | fccf: how I install ndiswapper? | 01:16 |
| fccf | FelipeUser: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper ndisgtk | 01:17 |
| fccf | FelipeUser: I assume you are connected by ethernet? | 01:17 |
| FelipeUser | NickDeNeger: yes | 01:17 |
| NickDeNeger | fccf: he doesn't have network / inetnet yet | 01:17 |
| FelipeUser | fccf: no | 01:17 |
| FelipeUser | I can transfer files by usb stick. | 01:17 |
| fccf | FelipeUser: so you will need to download the .debs from the site ... what version of ubuntu are you using | 01:18 |
| FelipeUser | jaunty | 01:18 |
| fccf | FelipeUser: stand by | 01:18 |
| FelipeUser | in fact, xubuntu | 01:18 |
| FelipeUser | k | 01:18 |
| fccf | FelipeUser: you will need these 2 files ... install in this order http://mirrors.xmission.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-common_1.53-2ubuntu1_all.deb http://mirrors.xmission.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndisgtk/ndisgtk_0.8.4-1_i386.deb then you will need the install cd that came with the card, on it is a set of files ... you are looking for the .inf file, can be installed with sudo ndisgtk after you install the first 2 | 01:23 |
| FelipeUser | fccf: i should copy this files to the pendrive? | 01:24 |
| fccf | FelipeUser: the first 2 yes, the others you can get off the cd | 01:24 |
| FelipeUser | right... | 01:25 |
| FelipeUser | fccf: first, do i need to unmount my pendrive like in windows, or just unplug is | 01:25 |
| FelipeUser | unplug this | 01:25 |
| stickapotomus | fccf: you get paid to do support? | 01:26 |
| fccf | stickapotomus: usually no, not here.... In the real world? sometimes, often not | 01:26 |
| NickDeNeger | FelipeUser: you can unplug it by right click on the desktop icon | 01:26 |
| FelipeUser | k | 01:26 |
| stickapotomus | ah. you're a good soul then. | 01:27 |
| NickDeNeger | there you can select unmount, although it isn't really necessary anymore these days | 01:27 |
| fccf | stickapotomus: who said I had a soul? | 01:27 |
| NickDeNeger | fccf is a robot xD | 01:27 |
| fccf | NickDeNeger: really smartass robot | 01:27 |
| stickapotomus | ha. | 01:28 |
| NickDeNeger | ha? | 01:28 |
| stickapotomus | as in, laughing. | 01:28 |
| NickDeNeger | yeah i know but i was missing one last ha so i wrote it myself ^^ | 01:28 |
| stickapotomus | <-- failed. | 01:29 |
| fccf | <--- success, but only when bribed | 01:29 |
| FelipeUser | what .inf file i'm looking for? | 01:29 |
| FelipeUser | for win xp driver? | 01:29 |
| NickDeNeger | y | 01:29 |
| fccf | FelipeUser: yep | 01:29 |
| FelipeUser | k | 01:30 |
| FelipeUser | right, copied the files. | 01:30 |
| FelipeUser | now, just double click on the files i downloaded? | 01:31 |
| fccf | FelipeUser: probably, yes, we'll see how xfce handels the files, or if we need to run from synaptic | 01:31 |
| FelipeUser | fccf: double click worked | 01:32 |
| fccf | FelipeUser: so, install those 2, in gdebi, then run gksudo ndisgtk from terminal | 01:32 |
| FelipeUser | when i was installing ndisgtk, | 01:33 |
| FelipeUser | there was an erro: | 01:33 |
| FelipeUser | it depends on diswrapper-utils-1.9 | 01:34 |
| fccf | FelipeUser: install ndiswrapper-common first | 01:34 |
| FelipeUser | fccf: i did | 01:34 |
| fccf | FelipeUser: standby | 01:34 |
| FelipeUser | k | 01:34 |
| FelipeUser | fccf: you sent me the 1.53 version | 01:35 |
| FelipeUser | fccf: it's asking for the 1.9 version? | 01:35 |
| FelipeUser | is it? | 01:35 |
| fccf | go get this http://mirrors.xmission.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-utils-1.9_1.53-2ubuntu1_i386.deb | 01:35 |

| fccf | FelipeUser: look closely 1.9 1.53 | 01:36 |
| FelipeUser | k | 01:37 |
| FelipeUser | right. the packages are installed. | 01:38 |

| FelipeUser | fccf: Dialog Wireless network drivers opened | 01:40 |
| FelipeUser | install new driver | 01:40 |
| FelipeUser | locationg the driver on the pendriver | 01:41 |
| fccf | yep .. that is the inf file we talked about it will also need the sys file | 01:41 |
| FelipeUser | yes | 01:41 |

| fccf | FelipeUser: how long have you been trying? | 01:45 |
| FelipeUser | NickDeNeger: helped me a lot | 01:45 |
| FelipeUser | may be since yesterday | 01:46 |
| FelipeUser | +- 15 hours continously | 01:46 |
| fccf | FelipeUser: less than an hour for me to give you the solution, and get it working, not bad | 01:47 |
| FelipeUser | NickDeNeger helped me to install | 01:47 |
| FelipeUser | it was really hard to install | 01:47 |
| FelipeUser | but now, | 01:47 |
| FelipeUser | i think i can do this. ;) | 01:47 |
| NickDeNeger | the rest will be easy as pie :p | 01:48 |
| FelipeUser | Really.... you killed a dragon that was between me and linux | 01:48 |
| FelipeUser | i'm really happy for 2 reasons: | 01:48 |
| FelipeUser | this looks really easier than i thought | 01:49 |
| FelipeUser | and see my old notebook working | 01:49 |

| FelipeUser | heheeh | 01:52 |
| FelipeUser | i study in a public college. On my campus, there are, at least, 3000 students. | 01:53 |
| FelipeUser | And now, the college is adopting ubuntu | 01:53 |
| FelipeUser | on it's computers | 01:53 |
| NickDeNeger | much cheaper then buying license keys ^^ | 01:54 |
| FelipeUser | yes | 01:54 |
| FelipeUser | I thought linux was really dificult. | 01:54 |
| FelipeUser | in fact, | 01:54 |

| FelipeUser | thank | 02:13 |
| mikubuntu | ok, i'm looking for techie | 02:20 |
| NickDeNeger | just ask | 02:20 |
| mikubuntu | i meant to say that to my friend on chat | 02:21 |
| mikubuntu | hahaha | 02:21 |
| NickDeNeger | ow lol Techie is a user xD | 02:21 |
| mikubuntu | some people are users, it takes all kinds | 02:22 |
| mikubuntu | hahaha | 02:22 |
| mikubuntu | he was helpg me last nite, but doesn' look like he's live right now | 02:22 |
| mikubuntu | anyways, my friend i'm trying to help her get .iso image burned. we finally got a burn program running, and she finally found where xp put the iso file, and then when she right clickd on the file to burn it, says, not enough space, file is 702, and 696 free space ... how can that be .. when she checkd properties on the file it was 698 mb i think | 02:24 |
| mikubuntu | what to do o what to do | 02:25 |
| mikubuntu | :P | 02:25 |
| NickDeNeger | redownload? :p | 02:26 |
| * mikubuntu is wringing his hands | 02:26 | |
| mikubuntu | but nick, how could it be showing 702 mb? i mean, the file properties said it was 698 ... and then the disk; how can it say only 696 free space available. whats all this madness? | 02:27 |
| mikubuntu | have you ever seen this kind of behavior? | 02:28 |
| NickDeNeger | the lasttime i burned a cd or dvd was about 2 years ago so i really can't recall... | 02:28 |
| NickDeNeger | 700MB cd's are always 700MB as far as i can recal | 02:29 |
| NickDeNeger | recall | 02:29 |
| mikubuntu | omg, don't you use disks for clean installs? | 02:29 |
| NickDeNeger | usb drive \o/ | 02:29 |
| mikubuntu | ooooOOOOOooooh, one of those | 02:29 |
| mikubuntu | prolly beyond our capabilities to set up a bootable usb, i never did it b4 | 02:30 |
| NickDeNeger | if you got an usb drive and a running ubuntu system with graphical user interface it's quite simple | 02:31 |
| NickDeNeger | you can also make a usb drive when using the live cd, but then you still have to burn a cd i guess :+ | 02:32 |
| mikubuntu | no, i'm in fla and shes in calif | 02:32 |
| mikubuntu | and she doesn't have running ubuntu *yet* | 02:32 |
| mikubuntu | thats tonites project | 02:33 |
| NickDeNeger | ah oke ^^ | 02:33 |
| mikubuntu | shoot, just got a call gotta run out, guess i be back in a hour or so | 02:34 |
| NickDeNeger | k | 02:35 |
| Techie__ | anyone here got a php proxy that can connect to ssl connections? | 02:38 |
| NickDeNeger | no sorry | 02:39 |
| Techie__ | dangit | 02:39 |
| Techie__ | my webmin is in ssl mode and i cant get ssl out of port 10000 on this network to change it | 02:39 |
| NickDeNeger | treath the system manager :p | 02:40 |
| Techie__ | lol, i had it running on port 443 earlier and went and changed it back to 10000 to test ssh and forgot to disable ssl | 02:42 |
| Techie__ | http://202.60.82.61:10000/ | 02:42 |
| Techie__ | seeeeee | 02:42 |
| NickDeNeger | this is an error in your webmin config | 02:43 |
| Techie__ | not an error | 02:43 |
| Techie__ | its just in ssl mode | 02:43 |
| Techie__ | and i need to change its port over to 443 | 02:43 |
| NickDeNeger | although i had the same problem in ssl indead | 02:43 |
| NickDeNeger | Secure Connection Failed | 02:43 |
| NickDeNeger | 02:43 | |
| NickDeNeger | 02:43 | |
| NickDeNeger | 02:43 | |
| NickDeNeger | 02:43 | |
| NickDeNeger | 02:43 | |
| NickDeNeger | 02:43 | |
| NickDeNeger | 02:43 | |
| NickDeNeger | 02:43 | |
| NickDeNeger | 202.60.82.61:10000 uses an invalid security certificate. | 02:43 |
| NickDeNeger | ow fuck | 02:43 |
| Techie__ | lol | 02:43 |
| * NickDeNeger kicks himself | 02:43 | |
| Techie__ | yeah | 02:44 |
| Techie__ | i never bothered with a valid vertificate | 02:44 |
| Techie__ | certificate* | 02:44 |
| Techie__ | so yeah, is antyone able to help me out? | 02:47 |
| NickDeNeger | can you ssh your box? | 02:48 |
| Techie__ | ... my spelling is horrible today | 02:48 |
| Techie__ | cant get ssh out from this network | 02:49 |
| Techie__ | its a stupid windows network | 02:49 |
| NickDeNeger | blegh, then no i guess | 02:49 |
| Techie__ | blocks everything but http | 02:49 |
| Techie__ | and ssl | 02:49 |
| Techie__ | but it only allows ssl on port 443 | 02:49 |
| Techie__ | so nobody has webmin installed and is able to let me use the http proxy in it? | 02:51 |
| NickDeNeger | don't have it installed sorry | 02:51 |
| mikubuntu | i think i need a dev helper ... | 04:03 |
| mikubuntu | anyways, my friend i'm trying to help her get .iso image burned. we finally got a burn program running, and she finally found where xp put the iso file, and then when she right clickd on the file to burn it, says, not enough space, file is 702, and 696 free space ... how can that be .. when she checkd properties on the file it was 698 mb i think | 04:04 |
| mikubuntu | u think it will be easily possible for my friend the noob (more noob than me anyways) to delete some file of the .iso , and then replace after installation , and if so , what file(s) would you recommend to delete? | 04:05 |
| mikubuntu | anybody got any ideas, i have my friend on hold to help her get this done | 04:13 |
| vede | If I installed Ubuntu and switched to xfce, can I get support here? | 04:19 |
| mikubuntu | i don't want to make the choice cause i don't know if i'll delete some important dependency or something | 04:19 |
| hermitcrabred | Hi everyone!... | 04:20 |
| mikubuntu | vede, ask your question; don't ask to ask | 04:22 |
| vede | Well, alright. | 04:22 |
| vede | <vede> VLC does not work (sometimes stops responding altogether, if it doesn't do that it closes (no error) when I press the "next" button), and I can't get Skype to recognize my headset (but PulseAudio does). | 04:22 |
| vede | (Sorry, was a copy-paste from #ubuntu.) | 04:23 |
| Techie | mikuuntu? you active>? | 04:23 |
| hermitcrabred | ...I installed ekiga softphone and I don`t see to be able find it anywhere...any tips???? | 04:23 |
| vede | (#ubuntu is the most ridiculous "support" channel I've ever encountered.) | 04:23 |
| hermitcrabred | ...I kind of agree on that vede ... | 04:23 |
| Techie | mikubuntu, you at your computer? | 04:24 |
| mikubuntu | techie, ya | 04:24 |
| Techie | sorry about earlier, i was at school | 04:24 |
| mikubuntu | was lookg for u b4 | 04:24 |
| Techie | yeah, i noticed | 04:24 |
| mikubuntu | okey | 04:24 |
| mikubuntu | dokey | 04:24 |
| mikubuntu | :P | 04:24 |
| Techie | im unable to remote my home box from school so i have to use web irc | 04:24 |
| Techie | so unfortunately i dont see any messages before i connect at lunch | 04:25 |
| mikubuntu | do you see the ones i just posted? | 04:25 |
| Techie | yeah | 04:25 |
| Techie | i have output from today | 04:26 |
| mikubuntu | strange, i don't know why thats happening with filesize issue | 04:26 |
| mikubuntu | never seen that before | 04:26 |
| Techie | if you wanted to set up a bootable usb thats easy | 04:27 |
| Techie | theres a simple tool called netbootin | 04:27 |
| mikubuntu | no, techie i can't do that with her | 04:27 |
| Techie | why not? | 04:28 |
| Techie | theres an application for it | 04:28 |
| mikubuntu | cause she's remote (in la) and i'm in fla, and she's green | 04:29 |
| Techie | and you can even have it download the latest ISO for you | 04:29 |
| mikubuntu | but we already downloaded the iso, just when she goes to burn it imgburn says the file is 702 mb even tho we know its 698 | 04:29 |
| Techie | well, ive never come across such an error | 04:30 |
| mikubuntu | so couldn't we just delete some component files of the iso some program that i can replace after installation? | 04:30 |
| Techie | modification of an ISO is harder than using netbootin | 04:31 |
| mikubuntu | hey, is roxio have anything todo with imgburn? she says when she clicks on 'burn' shes gettg message Roxio MyDVD DE9 trial version has expired | 04:33 |
| Techie | no, imgburn is completely independant | 04:33 |
| mikubuntu | or is that some microsuck program that we should delete? maybe its set as default on her computer? | 04:33 |
| Techie | up to you | 04:34 |
| Techie | its not exactly standard MS | 04:34 |
| mikubuntu | cause you said img would show up on right click, we installed it last nite | 04:34 |
| Techie | yeah, i read all that | 04:35 |
| mikubuntu | where do you add/remove programs in xp? i haven't used it in so long i don't know and i have to explain it to her | 04:36 |
| Techie | sig | 04:36 |
| Techie | sigh* | 04:36 |
| mikubuntu | hahaha | 04:36 |
| mikubuntu | :P | 04:36 |
| Techie | just make a bootable usb | 04:36 |
| Techie | nick pointed out earlier | 04:37 |
| Techie | it simple with unetbootin | 04:37 |
| mikubuntu | she doesn't have a usb, she just bought 100 cdrws | 04:37 |
| mikubuntu | :( | 04:37 |
| Techie | oh | 04:37 |
| mikubuntu | i am interested in the unetbootin for myself tho, but right now i'm doing evangelical work, exorcising a windows system for a lost soul, and bringing her to the ubuntu god | 04:38 |
| mikubuntu | hahaha | 04:38 |
| mikubuntu | she's trying to find where to delete/uninstall roxio right now | 04:41 |
| mikubuntu | then maybe imgburn will activate | 04:41 |
| Techie | in control panel | 04:42 |
| Techie | set it to classic view | 04:42 |
| Techie | and look for add/remove programs | 04:42 |
| mikubuntu | k, lemme check on her progress | 04:43 |
| Techie | anyone here know of a way to tunnel ssh through ssl using firefox, i would use putty staright off but i dont know the passwords for my http proxy and firefox uses the proxy properly | 04:44 |

| felipe__ | Hi. I cant play mp3 files. When I click then, nothing happens. May be what? | 15:49 |
| TheSheep | !mp3 | 15:52 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 15:52 |
| felipe__ | TheSheep, cant find | 15:53 |
| felipe__ | the problem | 15:53 |
| SiDi | felipe__: you need to install the MP3 codecs before you can play MP3. | 15:54 |
| SiDi | THey can't be shipped by default due to legal restrictions in some countries | 15:54 |
| felipe__ | hi SiDi. | 15:54 |
| SiDi | hi there | 15:54 |
| felipe__ | yes. but i cant find mp3 coded. | 15:54 |
| TheSheep | namely USA and Japan, if you live in one of those, consult your lawyer before installing them | 15:54 |
| felipe__ | xubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 15:55 |
| SiDi | felipe__: read the page above. | 15:55 |
| SiDi | yes | 15:55 |
| SiDi | you need that package | 15:55 |
| felipe__ | ah... | 15:55 |
| felipe__ | i thought it was just for others codecs. | 15:55 |
| SiDi | it includes MP3 | 15:56 |
| SiDi | this package includes all the codecs we are not allowed to ship by default | 15:56 |

| raevol | hey, i was reading a thread on the mailing list a while back about the changes in GDM and what's to come for xubuntu, but no conclusion was reached in that thread | 21:01 |
| raevol | is there any news on that? | 21:01 |
| Techie | aww not nearly as impressive as in ##windows | 21:02 |
| SiDi | Techie: Waht's not impressive ? | 21:04 |
| SiDi | raevol: im not sure, actually | 21:05 |
| SiDi | i think we managed to get theming working with the current gdm and will keep using it for karmic | 21:05 |
| SiDi | But i dont know about plans for karmic +1 | 21:05 |
| raevol | will there be a seperate gdm package for xubuntu in karmic then? is normal ubuntu switching to the new one in karmic or later? | 21:05 |
| SiDi | Ubuntu has switched already | 21:06 |
| SiDi | And we have switched too cause its the same package | 21:06 |
| SiDi | !info gdm-2.20 karmic | 21:06 |
| ubottu | Package gdm-2.20 does not exist in karmic | 21:06 |
| * SiDi thinks we will use the new gdm too in karmic | 21:06 | |
| SiDi | cody-somerville: ^ ? :D | 21:07 |
| cody-somerville | I'm pretty sure we'll use the new one. | 21:07 |
| raevol | hmm ok, even though it supposedly has a huge number of dependencies? | 21:07 |
| SiDi | raevol: they have been splitted thanks to cody-somerville & mr_pouit | 21:13 |
| raevol | cool cool | 21:15 |
| raevol | no hope for a menu editor for karmic though i suppose... been watching the xfce mailing list and it's coming along at a glacial pace | 21:17 |

| vinpan | hello everyone | 23:01 |
| vinpan | i need help | 23:01 |
| SiDi_ | hi vinpan | 23:02 |
| SiDi_ | !ask | 23:02 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:02 |
| vinpan | i am installing ubuntu and it gets stuck on installing at 39% | 23:02 |
| SiDi_ | Did you check if the CD rom was correctly burnt before installing ? | 23:03 |
| vinpan | yes | 23:04 |
| vinpan | b/c im using it as a linux machine | 23:04 |
| vinpan | is there a % of space i should use? | 23:05 |
| vinpan | should restart and use a smaller partion? | 23:07 |
| vinpan | brb going to see if it is still stuck | 23:07 |
| SiDi_ | vinpan: how much RAM does the machine have ? | 23:08 |
| SiDi_ | And is it the LiveCD or the Alternate one ? | 23:08 |
| vinpan | its a live CD and has 61492mb of space | 23:14 |
| SiDi_ | vinpan: how much memory ? | 23:16 |
| SiDi_ | Not the space on the disk, the memory (RAM) | 23:16 |
| vinpan | 1gig | 23:16 |
| SiDi_ | okey, then there should be no problem with the LIveCD if it is well burnt | 23:17 |
| SiDi_ | Did you actually use the "Check CD-ROM for defects" function ? | 23:17 |
| vinpan | i used Magic ISO | 23:17 |
| vinpan | no i didnt | 23:17 |
| SiDi_ | Do it please :) | 23:17 |
| vinpan | BRB | 23:17 |
| vinpan | it said revaladtion failed | 23:27 |
| vinpan | um i do have a 7. what ever version of it would that be to old to use its like 2 versions ago | 23:30 |
| SiDi_ | It's like 2 years ago | 23:33 |
| SiDi_ | 4 versions ago | 23:33 |
| SiDi_ | it's not supported anymore | 23:33 |
| vinpan | ooooo ok | 23:33 |
| SiDi_ | the currently supported versions are 8.04 (long term support) 8.10 (which will expire in ~1 year) and the current, 9.04 | 23:33 |
| SiDi_ | You should just burn the 9.04 again ;) | 23:33 |
| SiDi_ | and make sure to select the lowest speed when burning | 23:33 |
| vinpan | that one didnt work | 23:33 |
| SiDi_ | high speed = burning errors | 23:33 |
| vinpan | the 8.04 was installing | 23:34 |
| vinpan | so burn at a low speed | 23:36 |
| vinpan | like 4 | 23:36 |
| SiDi_ | It doesn't install because there is an error in your CD-rom ;) | 23:36 |
| vinpan | not the CD so burn at lowest speed | 23:37 |
