| stormybaby | Hi! I'm a first time xubuntu/linux user | 01:11 |
| stormybaby | Can anyone help me with the fonts on firefox? I don't like the way they are displayed | 01:12 |
| stormybaby | How can I make them look more like firefox in Windows? | 01:12 |
| than0 | Hi. How do I disable the annoying buzz sound in console and firefox? | 05:12 |
| than0 | i tried to disable by using sound alerts setting in sound mixer preference, but this has no effect. | 05:12 |
| than0 | The error sound sounds like the old style PC beeps, but more annoying.. | 05:13 |
| Tesssa | i am using xubuntu 9.10 set to automatic login but now and again it starts up with the login window and i have try several times typing in my password untill eventually it works anyone tell me why it does this please | 06:11 |
| aigon | Does ubuntu provide free storage? | 07:24 |
| psycho_oreos | sorta doubt it, why? | 07:25 |
| kpel | Hi guys. Does Xubuntu 9.10 support EeePC 1000 out of the box? Do things like wifi, webcam, bluetooth "just work"? | 09:30 |
| Animagladius | Huhu. | 13:11 |
| wrgb | Animagladius: do you have a question? | 13:51 |
| Animagladius | Nope, I'm here to help other people, if needed. But thanks. :) | 13:54 |
| wrgb | Animagladius: yeah, me too:) | 13:55 |
| druid_ | hello | 14:06 |
| likemindead | !hi | druid_ | 14:07 |
| ubottu | druid_: 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! | 14:07 |
| druid_ | I have a problem with xfce eating my Escape keys | 14:07 |
| druid_ | when I run xev and press Escape the actions I get is FocusOut - FocusIn | 14:08 |
| druid_ | instead of the usual KeyPressed - KeyReleased | 14:09 |
| druid_ | does anyone know what might be the problem? | 14:10 |
| MoonTiger | hi :) | 14:10 |
| druid_ | Hello MoonTiger | 14:11 |
| MoonTiger | so i'm finding the bluetooth completely foobar'd in karmic xubuntu ... is it just me? | 14:12 |
| likemindead | My laptop is hanging on shut down and never powers off. Anyone else having this issue & know how to address it? | 14:19 |
| MoonTiger | i have had that related to bluetooth ... do you have a bluetooth adapter built in? | 14:19 |
| charlie-tca | Yes, others are seeing this in 9.10. Don't know how to fix it yet | 14:19 |
| charlie-tca | bug 475920 | 14:20 |
| likemindead | Ah. | 14:20 |
| charlie-tca | if you could add any information that will help. Also, you might add what your hardware is. | 14:20 |
| likemindead | No, MoonTiger, this laptop doesn't have Bluetooth. | 14:21 |
| MoonTiger | ok | 14:21 |
| charlie-tca | At least add that you experience it. gives me better grounds to confirm it | 14:21 |
| likemindead | Link to bug, charlie-tca ? | 14:21 |
| charlie-tca | https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475920 | 14:22 |
| likemindead | Gracias. | 14:23 |
| charlie-tca | No, thank you | 14:23 |
| MoonTiger | ahhhhhhh i'm seeing this too ... last night i thought i had shut my other laptop down but today it was actually still on with a blank screen | 14:25 |
| MoonTiger | hmmmmmmm karmic is looking a little shaky right now | 14:25 |
| charlie-tca | It seems so, at times. | 14:25 |
| likemindead | All the bad press is really frustrating. ;-( | 14:25 |
| MoonTiger | wonder if its worth going back to jaunty for a while more | 14:25 |
| likemindead | "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" | 14:26 |
| charlie-tca | It might be, MoonTiger | 14:26 |
| charlie-tca | likemindead: agreed | 14:26 |
| charlie-tca | but I wonder how much is because we have grown so much? | 14:26 |
| charlie-tca | If Microsoft wasn't running scared of us, would you see so much press? | 14:26 |
| MoonTiger | likemindead, i know the sky isnt falling and i know they will iron out the problems but i do need to actually be able to use my computers for work stuff so i cannot have serious issues like this happening | 14:26 |
| likemindead | Sorry, MoonTiger, that wasn't directed at you, but at the bad press reactionaries. | 14:27 |
| MoonTiger | i just think the 6 month release regardless is wrong | 14:27 |
| MoonTiger | likemindead, oh sorry ;) | 14:27 |
| MoonTiger | if it isnt ready it isnt ready so dont release | 14:27 |
| charlie-tca | For some, we are like ms now, gotta wait 6 months to iron out the wrinkles before upgrading. For others, the need to upgrade is right now. | 14:28 |
| likemindead | I just try to tell people to use the LTS in most cases. I tell them the six-month releases are for bleeding edge, risk takers. | 14:28 |
| charlie-tca | Intel video is working again in 9.10 | 14:28 |
| MoonTiger | charlie-tca, i have an ati card so im screwed with either | 14:28 |
| charlie-tca | sorry! for you, a couple of months, at least, before upgrading. | 14:29 |
| MoonTiger | i will give karmic until i do a clean install of the release version of 7 to come right otherwise i'll wipe and go back to jaunty til its fixed i think | 14:29 |
| MoonTiger | and likemindead you are right ... MS is making sure any small glitches with anything else gets a lot of press | 14:30 |
| Pres-Gas | There was bound to be some hickups with this release because of so much underlying things changing (ext4, upstart, grub2)... | 14:30 |
| MoonTiger | yah agreed | 14:30 |
| charlie-tca | Some of the items were already fixed in updates, but I don't think the shutdown issue was even known. | 14:30 |
| MoonTiger | i think maybe they should have delayed launch for another 2 weeks or so to find these things | 14:31 |
| Pres-Gas | I just wish they would have held out on grub2 until upstream had good documentation on it...that is my only beef. Right now, Ubu has the best, but last I checked it is burried in the wiki | 14:31 |
| MoonTiger | i mean a week between RC and RTM isn't very long | 14:31 |
| charlie-tca | But those who test it still haven't seen these things | 14:31 |
| charlie-tca | The only ones seeing them did not do the tests | 14:31 |
| MoonTiger | with a longer RC period they might have gotten more reports | 14:32 |
| likemindead | I'm hearing that Xubuntu 9.10 is having fewer issues than Ubuntu 9.10 ;-) | 14:32 |
| likemindead | At least from my LUG. | 14:32 |
| charlie-tca | We have fewer users, too | 14:33 |
| likemindead | Xfce FTW! | 14:33 |
| MoonTiger | well im on xubuntu and having these issues | 14:33 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 14:33 |
| charlie-tca | and every user with issues counts | 14:34 |
| MoonTiger | i mean i have a pretty common laptop i think ... a thinkpad | 14:34 |
| Pres-Gas | charlie-tca is right...if more people used it, that stuff would be revealed as well. | 14:34 |
| MoonTiger | so its not like i have some really obscure hardware | 14:34 |
| MoonTiger | funnily enough the newer thinkpad has less issues | 14:35 |
| charlie-tca | Unfortunately, thinkpads are also some of the most difficult to get working right in Linux, MoonTiger | 14:35 |
| charlie-tca | There are whole websites dedicated to solving thinkpad issues | 14:36 |
| MoonTiger | charlie-tca, huh?? the frdora guys develop on thinkpads | 14:36 |
| MoonTiger | my thinkpad t500 has no issues at all | 14:36 |
| Sysi | they are rather common, that's good | 14:36 |
| charlie-tca | Great! | 14:36 |
| MoonTiger | my older t41p has the bluetooth and shutdown problems | 14:37 |
| MoonTiger | otherwise it runs great with karmic | 14:37 |
| MoonTiger | and im loving the firefix 3.5 integration finally | 14:37 |
| charlie-tca | That's why I asked for the hardware info on the bug report | 14:37 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe it is limited to specific hardware | 14:38 |
| MoonTiger | its just odd that older hardware breaks ... usually the other way round | 14:38 |
| charlie-tca | The Newest breaks, too | 14:39 |
| likemindead | Later, all. Peace. | 14:50 |

| Person[a] | good evening | 21:00 |
| phatty | hello is this place for assistance with xubuntu? | 21:15 |
| knome | phatty, yes | 21:15 |
| phatty | thank you. | 21:15 |
| Person[a] | hi charlie-tca, I've added some information | 21:15 |
| Person[a] | to the shutdown bug | 21:15 |
| charlie-tca | Thanks, Person[a] | 21:15 |
| charlie-tca | That's greatly appreciately again. | 21:16 |
| phatty | I just upgraded to xubuntu 9.10 from previous version and the wireless fails to connect to my wireless router. any suggestions? used to work before upgrade | 21:16 |
| phatty | I can still "see" the networks, just can't connect even with security off | 21:16 |
| Person[a] | you are very wellcome | 21:16 |
| phatty | but it's fine with the wired connection | 21:17 |
| phatty | any ideas? | 21:19 |
| charlie-tca | phatty: what is the wireless card? | 21:20 |
| phatty | it's a USB linksys network adapter (wireless) | 21:20 |
| charlie-tca | Try it in a different USB port | 21:21 |
| phatty | is it ok to try it while I'm connected on hardwire? | 21:21 |
| phatty | meaning will I still be in here. | 21:21 |
| charlie-tca | It will not allow both a wired and a wireless connection at the same time. | 21:22 |
| phatty | ok, brb | 21:22 |
| charlie-tca | Sorry | 21:22 |
| phatty | it's cool. | 21:22 |
| phatty | I'm going to come in her ewith a dif computer | 21:22 |
| phatty | and then try with laptop all the ideas | 21:23 |
| charlie-tca | Okay, | 21:23 |
| phatty | should've though of that first. | 21:23 |
| Phatsac | this is phatty on dif pc | 21:23 |
| Phatsac | I"m thinking there may be something wrong with the driver because the connection % is waaaay lower than it used to be | 21:27 |
| Phatsac | and I'm right next to the wireless router right now. Usually about 50 feet away | 21:28 |
| charlie-tca | but connected? | 21:28 |
| Phatsac | make that about 30ft | 21:28 |
| Phatsac | it's not showing a % anymore but there's only one green bar out of al of them green | 21:28 |
| Phatsac | and will not connect in any of the 4 usb ports I have | 21:28 |
| charlie-tca | Which connection is poor, then? | 21:29 |
| Phatsac | now will not connect online at all. | 21:29 |
| Phatsac | But from the window where I can see what wireless networks are available, the graphical representation of connectivity strength appears lower than it used to prior to this upgrade. | 21:30 |
| Phatsac | any ideas? | 21:37 |
| charlie-tca | I don't really know. I am not good on wireless. | 21:38 |
| Phatsac | neither am I. | 21:38 |
| Phatsac | lol | 21:38 |
| Phatsac | wireless frustrates the crap out of me. | 21:39 |
| Phatsac | I'm much more familiar with windows. | 21:39 |
| Phatsac | anything like "drivers" on ubuntu | 21:39 |
| charlie-tca | You can try asking in #ubuntu or ##beginners-help | 21:40 |
| Phatsac | now that I think of it... I remember my g/f trying to connect a webcam to this computer | 21:40 |
| charlie-tca | They have more users | 21:40 |
| Phatsac | maybe conflicting. | 21:40 |
| Phatsac | ok, thanks. | 21:40 |
| Phatty | charlie.. | 21:48 |
| Phatty | are there "drivers" in xubuntu like windows? | 21:48 |
| charlie-tca | for some stuff, yes. For most items, the drivers are built in. | 21:49 |
| charlie-tca | The wireless drivers are mostly built into the kernel in Xubuntu | 21:49 |
| Phatty | that means it's with the OS right? | 21:50 |
| charlie-tca | They are integrated into the core, because it works better that way. | 21:50 |
| charlie-tca | right | 21:50 |
| Phatty | ok, understood | 21:50 |
| Phatty | I'll fiddle with it some more. | 21:50 |
| Phatty | I'm not sure if my g/f did something trying to get a webcam to work also. | 21:50 |
| Phatty | But I think this happened after the upgrade. | 21:50 |
| charlie-tca | Hard to say | 21:51 |
| Phatty | about ready to throw this POS out the window | 21:53 |
| Phatty | but I dont like my g/f using my computer | 21:53 |
| Phatty | this is for her to screw up. lol | 21:53 |
| charlie-tca | Just repost the question every 3-4 hours and see if someone else can help out. | 21:54 |
| Phatty | the laptop might be on the lawn by then. lol | 21:55 |
| Phatty | thanks though. | 21:55 |
| charlie-tca | Wish I could be help. | 21:56 |
| Phatty | just that you're nice enough to try is helpful | 21:56 |
| Phatty | much appreciated. | 21:56 |
| charlie-tca | No problem. That is what most of us are here for. | 21:57 |
| slow-motion | hi | 22:01 |
| Vyacheslav | Hey. | 22:32 |
| Vyacheslav | I got Windows 98 on a 60GB HD | 22:32 |
| Vyacheslav | and right now, I'm installing Xubuntu on a 20GB slave | 22:32 |
| Vyacheslav | 1GHz 512mb RAM | 22:32 |
| Vyacheslav | How will Xubuntu run? | 22:32 |
| MD-11 | hi i am new with linux. I installed ubuntu server , and then xfce.... now i am having a hell trouble to set up my screen resolution...i followed several steps on how to configure the xorg.conf file but i didnt suceeded! I am getting the fonts completely small, and the resolution which is 1366x768 is not correct displayed | 23:32 |
| MD-11 | any help? | 23:32 |
| knome | MD-11, install xubuntu-desktop package would be my first adice | 23:33 |
| knome | *advice | 23:33 |
| MD-11 | yeah i did it already | 23:33 |
| MD-11 | i have the xubuntu-desktop | 23:33 |
| knome | MD-11, right. you can set font size from applications -> settings -> appearance -> tab fonts | 23:35 |
| MD-11 | thanks knome...and what about the screen resolution? | 23:35 |
| knome | MD-11, that should be probed automatically, but you could look at applications -> settings -> display. you might also need a propietary driver to enable the highest possible resolution, which you can enable from applications -> system -> hardware driverd | 23:36 |
| MD-11 | ill give a try knome...the server is at my living room....i come back here if i suceed or not! THANKS | 23:37 |
| knome | MD-11, np | 23:37 |
| MD-11 | hey knome...the fonts are so small that i cannot even read it!!! That started after changing xorg.conf... | 23:41 |
| knome | MD-11, maybe you should remove whatever you changed in xorg.conf | 23:41 |
| MD-11 | i'll give a try, and ill set to 800x600 to see the results | 23:42 |
| MD-11 | knome do i have to restart the comp after changing xorg.conf? | 23:46 |
| knome | MD-11, you need to restart X, but booting would be a good way to do that | 23:46 |
| MD-11 | i did it, but how can i restart just X?! | 23:47 |
| MD-11 | knome, no way to make that change, what would be an ultimate solution...reinstalling xubuntu-desktop?! | 23:53 |
| knome | MD-11, no, i don't think that would help | 23:54 |
| knome | MD-11, are you sure the xorg.conf is as it was before you fiddled with it? | 23:54 |
| MD-11 | do you have a default xorg.conf? that comes with the original? | 23:54 |
| knome | no, i'm afraid i don't. also, the xorg.conf is a bit differente depending on the hardware configuration | 23:55 |
| MD-11 | no i cant be 100% sure because i barely can read what is there! however i did a blind change, just erasing and typing again | 23:55 |
| MD-11 | anyway i cant find the font size that you told me | 23:56 |
| MD-11 | i went to application -> settings -> manager | 23:56 |
| MD-11 | and there i tried both desktop and display | 23:56 |
| MD-11 | and didnt find anything | 23:56 |
