XialI have what is, perhaps an interesting question. For some reason, when I set the accessibility feature to emulate the mouse with my number pad, if I leave the machine idle for a bit, it acts as if the feature has been disabled.02:48
XialHowever, if I can manage to get back to the feature, it shows it as enabled.02:48
XialIs there something I can do to mitigate this behavior?02:49

Pres-GasOkay, xubuntu karmic and my time settings are driving me crazy!!!  Anyone else having time issues with 9.10?14:38
likemindeadNope. I had to install PulseAudio to get sound, though...14:41
mikubuntuhola guys.  i never used bittorrent b4, but i have several clients installed on my laptop.  i am trying to download Star Wreck the Complete Saga from isohunt.com, but when i try to open the link the client doesnt do anything.  am i missing the knowledge somewhere?17:38
TheSheepmikubuntu: you save the .torrent file somewhere, and open it with the torrent client17:46
TheSheepmikubuntu: also note that we don't talk about unlawful activities here17:46
mikubuntuthis is not unlawful, Star Wreck is an open source movie17:47
TheSheepok :)17:48
mikubuntuand its hysterical, but i have only seen the first couple segments of it17:48
mikubuntuanyways, i 'saved' the torrent on my desktop, it says the file is 1.12 gb, and the icon showed up instantly on the desktop.  when i right click it gives me the option of three different clients to open with.  azureus seems to have some problem, runs a loop that says have to update the core, but it never completes, and the other one is just called 'transmission bittorrent client', and it does nothing either when i launch it.  s17:54
likemindeadmikubuntu: I prefer Deluge.18:00
likemindead!deluge18:00
ubottudeluge is a Bittorent client, created using Python and GTK+, intended to bring a native, full-featured cliekt to !GTK environments such as GNOME and Xfce. See http://deluge-torrent.org/ for more information or the package 'deluge-torrent' in the package repositories.18:00
likemindeadJust open a terminal and "sudo apt-get install deluge-torrent" (no quotes).18:01
FFForeverMorning all18:07
likemindead!hi | FFForever18:07
FFForeverhow can i make everything not restart when logging in?18:07
ubottuFFForever: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay!18:07
likemindeadChoose the "Save Session" option when logging out.18:07
FFForeverthere is just no setting like start new session when logging in?18:08
mikubuntulikeminded, do you have to 'sign up' for these clients, or are they just sposed to 'work'18:11
likemindeadIt's just an application, mikubuntu.18:12
mikubuntulikemindead: lookg for deluge in synaptic now18:13
FFForeverhow can i rearrange my menu?18:13
likemindeadOh, you _don't_ want it to restart, FFForever. Sorry. I misread.18:13
FFForeverno i don't :)18:13
FFForeveri find it VERY annoying =\18:14
FFForeverthere is nothing like having 20 apps open when you login...18:14
likemindeadYou need to uncheck the "Save Session"18:15
FFForeverlikemindead, is it possible to have it off by default?18:15
mikubuntulikemindead: downloading deluge, i'll let you know as soon as it doesn't work.  haha.18:15
likemindeadYes, FFForever, look under the Settings>Sessions & Startup.18:16
FFForeverlikemindead, it does not have a checkbox on automatically save session on logout...18:17
mikubuntulikeminded, can u tell anything from this pic?  http://imagebin.org/68554  nothing seems to be happening with the download.  maybe i is stupid.18:21
likemindeadYou have no incoming connections, mikubuntu.18:22
likemindeadAre you sure your ports are open?18:22
likemindeadAnd is anyone seeding it?18:22
mikubuntui don't know, never used it b4.  don't know what i'm sposed to do.  if someone seeds it, do i have to water it?  :P18:24
likemindeadUh... you should probably read up on torrent basics...18:24
likemindeadhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_%28protocol%2918:25
mikubuntui read some instructions at the isohunt site18:25
mikubuntuok, lemme look at it18:25
mikubuntulikemindead: read it, but it doesn't really tell me anything about the actual process really, except in general terms18:33
mikubuntui think i get that it may be a slow process .. is that why i not showing any download activity?  it's waiting for a peer?18:34
likemindeadPossible. You want to check the site you got the torrent from to make sure there are enough people sharing (seeding) it.18:41
FFForever=\, i have ubuntu-desktop & xubuntu-desktop, if i use the media keys the ubuntu side says everything is fine and its all the way up... the xfce controller says my sound is muted =\18:45
likemindeadI had to install PulseAudio to get my sound working in Xubuntu (9.10).18:50
FFForeveri thought pa was default since 9.04?18:56
likemindeadI didn't come with Xubuntu 9.10 apparently...18:59
likemindeadMy install had ALSA and OSS.19:00
TheSheepxubuntu doesn't use pulseaudio19:05
