| jason__ | has anyone figured out how to renable ctrl alt backspace in 9.10? | 00:22 |
| Animagladius | Help please! :O I just did the distribution-upgrade to 9.10. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 with xfce. Now everytime someone goes online/offline on Pidgin and everytime I change the volume, I get this annoying popup that says "xx%" or "$user is online" ... Any way to disable that? :( | 01:29 |
| Animagladius | Anybody, maybe? :/ | 01:36 |
| pteague_work | where do i go to set what applications open what files? for some idiotic reason thunar is trying to open a jpg with thunderbird >.< | 01:38 |
| nikolam | pteague, right click on image and open with and select app and select it to open with it forever? | 02:15 |
| pteague_work | ah, have to use open with other application even though everything else (gwenview, firefox, ristretto, etc) is already in that list to get that window... was afraid i'd get a box asking for the path to it | 02:30 |
| berhow | so why does it take forever for the language packs to install | 03:07 |
| berhow | anyone? | 03:15 |
| likemindead | Servers bogged down. | 03:16 |
| likemindead | Skip it for now. Do it later. | 03:16 |
| berhow | will skipping muck anything up | 03:20 |
| berhow | how big is it anyway | 03:20 |
| _Techie_ | nope, not unless you want anything other than english | 03:20 |
| berhow | is there a way to only install english | 03:20 |
| _Techie_ | yeah, dont install them english is the default | 03:20 |
| berhow | i didn't think i told it to install them | 03:21 |
| _Techie_ | it installs them automatically if theres a network connection present | 03:21 |
| berhow | ooh | 03:21 |
| berhow | anything elsse it install automatically with a network connection? | 03:22 |
| _Techie_ | it will scan the apt mirrors | 03:22 |
| berhow | what's that mean, just like and apt-get update? | 03:23 |
| _Techie_ | yeah | 03:23 |
| berhow | good to know | 03:25 |
| berhow | thanks | 03:25 |
| billet75 | I tried 9.10 on a new machine, intel graphic on-board, I have to buy a card to get the install to work will there be a fix | 04:44 |
| billet75 | there also is appears to be an issue with 9.10 during install hangs when looking at disk | 04:45 |
| billet75 | :'( | 04:46 |
| Banjooie | Okay so I have dragged an ancient computer of mine out from the /depths of hell itself/ by which I mean my closet, and it is on Kubuntu, feisty | 06:34 |
| Banjooie | this is not particularly conducive to my getting it working as some sort of browsing/IM/telnetting side computer and people in #ubuntu are like 'go use xubuntu it will solve your problems'. Where do I read up on how to do this if my repos are all hilariously outdated | 06:35 |
| Hans_Henrik | lets say the Kubuntu fiesty got no desksktop environment, how can he install the Xfce desktop ? | 06:35 |
| Hans_Henrik | (basically apt-get remove gnome) | 06:36 |
| Hans_Henrik | wups.. wait, Kubuntu use KDE xD | 06:36 |
| _Pete_ | Hans_Henrik: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 06:38 |
| _Pete_ | = xfce | 06:38 |
| _Pete_ | Hans_Henrik: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 06:38 |
| _Pete_ | = gnome | 06:38 |
| Hans_Henrik | could som1 post a list of default repo's for Xubuntu? | 06:39 |
| _Pete_ | Hans_Henrik: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 06:39 |
| _Pete_ | = kde | 06:39 |
| _Pete_ | Hans_Henrik: repos are same | 06:39 |
| Hans_Henrik | just diffrent folders? | 06:39 |
| _Pete_ | you dont need to change repos | 06:40 |
| Hans_Henrik | ok | 06:40 |
| _Pete_ | to try different desktops | 06:40 |
| _Pete_ | also, all those can be installed same time | 06:40 |
| _Pete_ | if so, in login screen you choose which one to use | 06:41 |
| Hans_Henrik | Banjooie: could try change from feisty main to Jaunty main (in your sources.list) then sudo -s;apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop;apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 06:42 |
| Banjooie | okay, let us attempt this trickery | 06:42 |
| _Pete_ | that doesnt work | 06:43 |
| Hans_Henrik | _Pete_: how so? | 06:43 |
| _Pete_ | those xxx-desktop packages are so called meta-packages | 06:43 |
| _Pete_ | if you removeone | 06:43 |
| _Pete_ | it doesnt actually remove all desktop things | 06:44 |
| _Pete_ | if you want to remove gnome/kde | 06:44 |
| _Pete_ | google for pure ubuntu | 06:44 |
| _Pete_ | or pure kubuntu | 06:44 |
| Banjooie | okay, this assumes I have an extremely up-to-date ubuntu installation | 06:46 |
| Banjooie | i...is it possible to have this xubuntu thing /while/ I gradually update kubuntu | 06:46 |
| _Pete_ | ? | 06:47 |
| Banjooie | Okay. | 06:47 |
| Banjooie | I have Feisty | 06:47 |
| Banjooie | The problem is A: My repos are all missing, so I can't installt hings | 06:47 |
| Banjooie | B: I have no idea what it is I'm supposed to do to get this feisty installation to something not end of life | 06:48 |
| _Pete_ | do you mean your /etc/apt/sources.list is empty? | 06:49 |
| Hans_Henrik | Banjooie: no idea if it will help but try sudo update-manager -d | 06:49 |
| Banjooie | It's not empty, but the sources actually 404 on me | 06:49 |
| Banjooie | because feisty is ancient. I am going to try this 'just change it all to jaunty' thing and see if it helps | 06:50 |
| _Pete_ | hmm just realised, feisty = 7.04? | 06:50 |
| _Pete_ | If you want to update to that | 06:51 |
| _Pete_ | I would go with clean new install | 06:51 |
| _Pete_ | I guess there will be lot's of trouble if you never get it updated to 9.10 | 06:51 |
| Banjooie | Right, I am trying to avoid things that involve burning Cds. | 06:52 |
| _Pete_ | but if you still going to try that | 06:52 |
| _Pete_ | good luck :) | 06:52 |
| _Pete_ | and report here how it went | 06:52 |
| Banjooie | I am a man who managed to successfully run windows 98 without a single bsod for two years, i am all about the impossible and the terrible ideas | 06:54 |
| _Pete_ | :) | 06:55 |
| _Pete_ | that's the spirit | 06:55 |
| Hans_Henrik_ | Banjooie: you gotta learn me how to do that some time | 06:55 |
| Banjooie | I have access to fel, terrible arts | 06:56 |
| Banjooie | in fact, by the end of the installation's lifetime | 06:56 |
| Banjooie | I had to start the computer, alt tab with no windows open, alt tab with one window open, alt-tab with two windows open, before doing anything else | 06:56 |
| Banjooie | running a program or alt-tabbing out of this order would cause a kernel32 error that would crash the computer (technically not a bsod!) | 06:56 |
| _Pete_ | :D | 06:56 |
| Banjooie | The advantage: computer security ++ | 06:57 |
| _Pete_ | which reminds me always to brag about this, the current 9.04 running is most stable ubuntu for me | 06:57 |
| Banjooie | actually it's kinda funny, I ended up on ubuntu, like | 06:58 |
| Banjooie | because I wanted to get it off my hard drive, so I wanted to burn it onto CD but I didn't have a CD burning program | 06:58 |
| Banjooie | so I went to find a freeware winXP CD burning program but clicked on an ad that filled my comp with trojans | 06:58 |
| Hans_Henrik_ | xD | 06:58 |
| Hans_Henrik_ | bad day | 06:58 |
| Banjooie | burnt the CD, went into safe mode to try to get rid of it but the comp was so trojan'd I actually couldn't get into safe mode | 06:58 |
| Hans_Henrik_ | btw how long ago was this? | 06:58 |
| Banjooie | oh, a few years back | 06:58 |
| _Pete_ | lolz | 06:58 |
| Banjooie | now I just have one computer with Vista for gaming | 06:59 |
| Banjooie | do not say wine | 06:59 |
| Banjooie | fuck you do not say 'you can use wine' | 06:59 |
| Banjooie | I am never doing that again | 06:59 |
| _Pete_ | I got one game working on that! | 06:59 |
| Hans_Henrik_ | for aloooot of games, you can't run wine | 06:59 |
| Banjooie | So did I | 06:59 |
| Banjooie | Orgrimmar was /invisible/ | 06:59 |
| Hans_Henrik_ | xD | 06:59 |
| Banjooie | and one on linux for all my chatting and whatnot | 06:59 |
| _Pete_ | Banjooie: you should change your taste of games | 07:00 |
| _Pete_ | all old and good FPS are for linux | 07:00 |
| Banjooie | > Good FPS for Linux | 07:00 |
| Banjooie | > Team Fortress 2 | 07:00 |
| _Pete_ | no | 07:00 |
| _Pete_ | but unreal tournament | 07:00 |
| _Pete_ | the 10year old thing | 07:00 |
| Banjooie | > unreal tournament | 07:00 |
| Hans_Henrik_ | _Pete_: almost every stupid anti-cheats fuck up wine (GayGuard/Punkbuster/Game Shield/ to name some) | 07:00 |
| Banjooie | > good FPS | 07:00 |
| Banjooie | 6_90 | 07:01 |
| _Pete_ | Hans_Henrik_: might be, never tried | 07:01 |
| Banjooie | Anyway, I am very particular about my games | 07:01 |
| Banjooie | and while I found a few on Linux I didn't despise, these were mostly small freeware games | 07:01 |
| Banjooie | I really have no love whatsoever for old FPSes, I have /tried/ | 07:01 |
| Animagladius | Night | 07:02 |
| Hans_Henrik_ | y | 07:02 |
| _Pete_ | openarena/ioquake/unreal tournament/urban terror | 07:02 |
| _Pete_ | are my favourites | 07:02 |
| Hans_Henrik_ | any1 tried Prototype btw? | 07:02 |
| _Pete_ | other games I play with ps3 | 07:03 |
| Banjooie | I have a deep abiding love for TF2 | 07:03 |
| Banjooie | And my various MMO addictions | 07:03 |
| Banjooie | also I have found for some reason linux really hates flash videos? | 07:03 |
| _Pete_ | it's like adobe hates to do opensource flash | 07:04 |
| _Pete_ | which suxx | 07:04 |
| _Pete_ | .. I have never undersood those MMO:s | 07:05 |
| _Pete_ | long time ago used to play MUDs | 07:05 |
| Banjooie | It requires a certain sort of mindset | 07:05 |
| Banjooie | if you play them with some sort of overarching goal of completion | 07:05 |
| Banjooie | you are on a path to destruction | 07:05 |
| _Pete_ | muds are still cool | 07:05 |
| Banjooie | I don't mind MUDs but they're macro city | 07:07 |
| Banjooie | and that irritates me | 07:07 |
| Banjooie | I don't mind graphical MMOs because macros are these things that make the game /easier/, not /livable/. | 07:07 |
| _Pete_ | MUDs was something that drawn me to the internet | 07:07 |
| _Pete_ | 20years ago or so | 07:07 |
| Hans_Henrik | name tibia sounds familiar? | 07:08 |
| _Pete_ | no? | 07:08 |
| Hans_Henrik | ok | 07:08 |
| _Pete_ | I used to play only abermuds | 07:09 |
| _Pete_ | wizzed many on those | 07:09 |
| _Pete_ | recently had been trying to get those oldies to run on modern linux | 07:10 |
| _Pete_ | so far without luck | 07:10 |
| Banjooie | yeah | 07:12 |
| Banjooie | finding decent telnet clients on linux | 07:12 |
| Banjooie | oh boy is that a fun o--DON'T SAY TINYFUGUE | 07:12 |
| _Pete_ | I have always been happy with normal telnet | 07:13 |
| Banjooie | I have to write paragraphs for my various telnet things | 07:13 |
| Banjooie | thus: I require slightly more | 07:14 |
| _Pete_ | others used to mud is consired cheat | 07:14 |
| Banjooie | I am physically writing paragraphs of text, I refuse to use a single-line input | 07:14 |
| _Pete_ | right | 07:15 |
| SingAlong_ | whats the command to start the terminal? I want to add the shortcut to the terminal to the panel | 08:00 |
| psycho_oreos | xfce4-terminal | 08:05 |
| SingAlong_ | psycho_oreos: thanks! it worked | 08:06 |
| psycho_oreos | nw | 08:06 |
| SingAlong_ | anything you guys suggest i disable in xfce? I'm running an Acer netbook with 1gb ram and 160gb HDD. | 08:07 |
| _Pete_ | SingAlong_: why should you disable anything? | 08:07 |
| SingAlong_ | _Pete_: just to save some memory for apps that need extra push :) | 08:08 |
| _Pete_ | kernel does that for you | 08:08 |
| SingAlong_ | _Pete_: I've already deleted the bottom panel in xfce to save screen real estate and stuffed everything in the top panel. | 08:09 |
| _Pete_ | you know, idle programs are get swapped | 08:09 |
| _Pete_ | so if they do nothing | 08:09 |
| _Pete_ | there's not much if they are running or not | 08:10 |
| SingAlong_ | oh | 08:10 |
| SingAlong_ | _Pete_: I saw this thing in dreamlinux sometime back... it used xfce too and the bottom panel was like mac.. with fish eye effect. how can i add that? | 08:10 |
| _Pete_ | no idea | 08:11 |
| SingAlong_ | _Pete_: you've seen the fish eye effect in mac bottom panel? | 08:11 |
| _Pete_ | nope | 08:12 |
| rgnr | hey all | 08:12 |
| rgnr | wazzup | 08:12 |
| _Pete_ | never really used mac | 08:13 |
| rgnr | who did the upgrade? | 08:13 |
| _Pete_ | those who are offline? :) | 08:13 |
| rgnr | lol | 08:14 |
| daqing | hi all, I'm planning to upgrade my xubuntu 9.04 to 9.10, and I have downloaded the Desktop iso, and my question is could I upgrade my xubuntu directly from that iso file? | 08:16 |
| _Pete_ | not without some heavy hacking | 08:17 |
| _Pete_ | use update-manager instead | 08:17 |
| daqing | @_Pete_: upgrading from the Internet takes too long | 08:18 |
| _Pete_ | well not too much longer than downloading that 910.iso ? | 08:18 |
| daqing | i use bt to download that iso, :( | 08:19 |
| daqing | but I must use HTTP to upgrade , that's not fast | 08:20 |
| _Pete_ | http is nothing doing how fast is or not | 08:20 |
| _Pete_ | but your networkconnection is | 08:20 |
| _Pete_ | ..unless you have some wierd config | 08:21 |
| rgnr | anyways ppl, is 9.10 worth to upgrade to? | 08:23 |
| daqing | you're right, but i have to download 800M+ packages in order to upgrade it, and the connection must be alive. | 08:23 |
| daqing | @rgnr: maybe not, but i just want to try out. :) | 08:26 |
| daqing | well, thanks for your concern, maybe there's no better way to go. | 08:28 |
| slow-motion | hi | 09:29 |
| slow-motion | why is open-office in the standard installation included? we have abiword and gnumeric. I think open-office can stsy as an extra option | 09:30 |
| ochosi | hi everyone, i'm wondering why karmic behaves differently in terms of keyrings. i made a clean install, never entered a pwd and still i'm asked to enter a pwd for the keyring-manager on startup (deleting .gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring didn't help with that) | 09:49 |
| ochosi | what i'd like is to have *no* pwd for it (even thought that's unsafe, i know), i just don't want to enter a goddamn pwd everytime my laptop boots :) | 09:50 |
| knome | haha:) | 09:50 |
| ochosi | hey knome | 09:50 |
| knome | hoi ochosi | 09:51 |
| Banjooie | well | 09:59 |
| Banjooie | is it really that big a deal if noone else uses your laptop though | 09:59 |
| ochosi | no, it's not. but that's why i'd really like to reset the keyring | 10:00 |
| Xed | Hi | 10:26 |
| Xed | Can someone help me troubleshoot an internet issye please? | 10:27 |
| Xed | No program seems to be connecting, but ping is working. | 10:27 |
| Xed | I get a valid ip address too.. | 10:27 |
| ext4_doubt | hi, i am running ubuntu 9.04 and have the following partitions : / (ext3) /usr (ext3) /var (ext3) /home (ext3) and swap. I plan to do to a FRESH installation of Karmic. my /home partition's size is 130 gig . Since i do not have the means to back up my home partition, shall i keep it as ext3 or will perhaps the ubuntu installer migrate it to ext4 WITHOUT losing any data??? | 10:45 |
| jarnos | ext4_doubt: I'd suggest to keep it ext3. Do you have encrypted /home? Why do you have separate /usr and /var? | 10:48 |
| SingAlong | How do i change the list of options i get for desktop environments while logging in? | 10:49 |
| ext4_doubt | no do, i do not have /home encrypted but i plan to | 10:51 |
| SingAlong | anyone? | 10:52 |
| ace | how can i make vlc's interface set to Gtk? | 10:52 |
| jarnos | ext4_doubt: I don't know how easy it is to use old encrypted /home, if you do fresh install. | 11:02 |
| ext4_doubt | ok, thanks | 11:03 |
| Xed | Noob question, but where can I access the firewall settings? (xubuntu) | 11:03 |
| Xed | I'm unable to connect to any site | 11:03 |
| Xed | but ping works | 11:03 |
| ext4_doubt | on a FRESH install would there be a problem if i migrate / /usr /var to ext4 but keep /home as ext3 ? | 11:05 |
| Carnophage | anyone managed to replace the new gdm in 9.10 with the old one? | 11:05 |
| Animagladius | Hi. | 11:06 |
| ext4_doubt | on a FRESH karmic install would there be a problem if i format / /usr /var as ext4 but have /home as ext3? has anyone here done that and did not suffer any performance problems or stability issues?? | 11:14 |
| Xed | lol #ubuntu and #xubuntu are so different yet so similar | 11:22 |
| Xed | You ask something in #ubuntu and u dont get an answer cause its lost in a flood... while in here u dont get an answer cause noones active :D | 11:23 |
| St0n3-C0l | Yo | 13:09 |
| SingAlong | is there anyway to view unmounted partitions in thunar? | 13:26 |
| SingAlong | is there anyway to modify the settings of the notification area? | 14:32 |

| shine1 | hi everyone, I am a newbie to linux and pidgin, I installed xubuntu 9.10 yesterday on my old computer, but encounters a problem I couldn't solve by google: After I installed the system, when the screen with a little "mouse" shows up, the screen began to flash crazily. It then kept flashing on~~ If I switched to command line mode, everything is fine~ In the gui mode, it seems the whole screen was shifted to the right, so the l | 18:24 |
| durt | so the what? | 18:26 |
| shine1 | hi durt, are you talking to me? I don't understand your question.... i couldn't use the computer since the screen keeps flashing crazily... | 18:29 |
| shine1 | Can anyone help me out here? Thanks a million~ | 18:43 |
| jcollierdavis | my sound doesn't work | 18:46 |
| durt | !sound | jcollierdavis | 18:51 |
| ubottu | jcollierdavis: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 18:51 |
| jarnos | I am using lirc in jaunty. It does not work well with power management: My remote control device name changes from /dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/ttyUSB1 and lirc starts to take a lot of CPU on resume, if I don't stop lirc before entering to suspend. Is this a bug in lirc or what? | 19:48 |

| heatherRm | hello i can't log into my main account since i've upgraded to karmic. i can log into an xterm but not xsession. can someone please help | 21:31 |
| jarnos | heatherRm: I had the same problem with some sessions, such as Xfce and LXDE sessions, but not with openbox session. | 21:35 |
| heatherRm | yeah i'm using xfce | 21:35 |
| jarnos | I did a clean install of Jaunty. Maybe later I do a clean install of Karmic and hope it works better then. | 21:36 |
| heatherRm | i upgraded from jaunty and this started happening | 21:38 |
| jarnos | me too. I is a shame upgrading does not work well for Xubuntu. | 21:39 |
| heatherRm | the reason i upgraded was cause i was having problems with jaunty :/ | 21:47 |
| jarnos | What kind of? | 21:48 |

| Sysi | in two computers | 22:33 |
| |Logitech| | xD | 22:33 |
| defsum | I was using 904 for two weeks, there weren't any problem, yes. I'll think about it) | 22:34 |

| Sysi | i haven't had any problems with 8.04, 9.04 or 9.10, i didn't install 8.10 | 22:37 |
| |Logitech| | i'm not have problems with 8.10 (realy good version) | 22:37 |
| Sysi | but there wasn't so much changes for lts | 22:38 |

| Sysi | it isn't real problem | 22:39 |
| Sysi | and jaunty is too slow for netbook | 22:40 |
| Sysi | and as said, when i reboot only when there is new kernel.. | 22:41 |
| |Logitech| | Sysi, in terminal type sudo mousepad /etc/init.d/alsa-utils and comment out line 372 mute_and_zero_levels “$TARGET_CARD” || EXITSTATUS=1 | 22:41 |
| |Logitech| | and reboot | 22:41 |

| |Logitech| | ok | 22:42 |
| |Logitech| | xD | 22:42 |
| Sysi | well, xdmcp has been made harder, but old computer is so fast with karmic that i don't need it :D | 22:43 |
| Sysi | and popups are in very irritating place | 22:43 |
| |Logitech| | lolz | 22:44 |
| mnemoc | hi, the update (9.04 -> 9.10) manager locks for ever (killed /tmp/.../karmic after 5h) when calculating changes right after showing me the list of packages no longer supported. anything I can do to see what's going on or to finish the installation? running do-release-upgrade again runs into the same problem | 23:14 |
| mnemoc | i'm downloading the ISO, but i doubt "calculating changes" is network related | 23:15 |
