| Bookman | Do Compiz effects work under xfce? | 01:13 |
| babarosa | Hello everybody! i am testing pidgin, can you "hear" me? If so, greetings from nightly austria :) | 01:15 |
| Bookman | babarosa, works fine | 01:16 |
| cody-somerville | Bookman, yes | 01:18 |
| Bookman | cody-somerville, how to enable them? I just found the Window Manager Tweaks>Compositor screen, but how to turn Compiz on? | 01:19 |
| cody-somerville | Bookman, Follow this tutorial: http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/12/09/xubuntu-compiz-pretty-pretty-xubuntu/ | 01:19 |
| Bookman | cody-somerville, do I have to do all that even though I'm running xfce under standard ubuntu? I already have compiz installed and working well under ubuntu (gnome) | 01:21 |
| babarosa | bookman, thank you. Cody-Somerville, i am impressed to "meet" you! I'll be quiet now and listen a bit. | 01:22 |
| cody-somerville | Bookman, if its already installed, just run compiz --replace | 01:23 |
| Bookman | cody-somerville, worked wonders, thanks. | 01:23 |
| cody-somerville | np | 01:24 |
| Bookman | hmmm, I don't seem to be able to have more then two workspaces. | 01:27 |
| sanubuntu | hey guys, i've used the same 9.10 disk on two different laptops .. the first went off without a hitch .. but on this one (an old toshiba satellite) i don't get a desktop image, even tho i've selected one of the ubuntu studio ones. what could be the case? when i go to shut down, the image does appear briefly, but is not rendered in session. | 01:46 |
| sanubuntu | i just save a photo to the desktop to see if it shows up, it doesn't show up on 'the desktop' area, but it IS in the desktop file ... | 01:46 |
| cody-somerville | sanubuntu, I have no idea what you're asking. | 01:49 |
| sanubuntu | cody-somerville: i have no desktop (image) | 01:54 |
| sanubuntu | the rest of the system seems to be working, but i have no desktop image | 01:55 |
| sanubuntu | when i shut down, the image flashes on briefly, and disappears | 01:55 |
| sanubuntu | if i save something to 'desktop' i can access it through the filesystem, but it does not appear on the desktop | 01:56 |
| sanubuntu | cody-somerville: is that clearer? ever heard of this problem b4? | 01:57 |
| cody-somerville | press alt+f2 | 01:57 |
| cody-somerville | and type in: xfdesktop | 01:57 |
| cody-somerville | then click run | 01:57 |
| sanubuntu | ummm, its ubuntu in this case, will that still be same command? | 01:58 |
| sanubuntu | cody-somerville: will that be same command for ubuntu 9.10? | 02:00 |
| cody-somerville | sanubuntu, please see #ubuntu for support with Ubuntu. | 02:00 |
| cody-somerville | xfdesktop is for the xfce4 desktop | 02:01 |
| sanubuntu | cody-somerville: theres 1544 ppl in the ubuntu channel, i've been trying to get help for hours with no luck .. | 02:31 |
| sanubuntu | i've always got better help in #xubuntu, can't you plz help me with this prob | 02:32 |
| cody-somerville | sanubuntu, So you're saying the problem is that you have no desktop or just no desktop wallpaper? | 02:32 |
| sanubuntu | well, there is a desktop file, cause i saved a pic to it and accessed the pic through the filesystem | 02:33 |
| sanubuntu | but there is no desktop image, and of course the pic i saved does not appear on 'the desktop' | 02:34 |
| sanubuntu | its just a black screen | 02:34 |
| sanubuntu | everything else seems to work fine, i have an ubuntustudio background set for image, but it only appears momentarily when i shut down the system | 02:35 |
| cody-somerville | do the panels show up? | 02:35 |
| sanubuntu | i have gnome panels | 02:35 |
| sanubuntu | thats whats strange | 02:35 |
| cody-somerville | run this: nautilus & | 02:36 |
| sanubuntu | alt f2 ? | 02:36 |
| cody-somerville | sure | 02:36 |
| sanubuntu | msg: could not find /home/sanubuntu/& | 02:38 |
| === random42 is now known as rtX_mancer42 | ||
| sanubuntu | but i've run nautilus, cause i opened it to 'enable delete' yesterday | 02:39 |
| cody-somerville | sanubuntu, just run this: nautilus | 02:42 |
| sanubuntu | k, nautilus open | 02:43 |
| sanubuntu | cody-somerville: i got nautilus open | 02:48 |
| cody-somerville | no desktop? | 02:48 |
| sanubuntu | theres a desktop file, with the two pics i saved to desktop inside | 02:49 |
| sanubuntu | cody-somerville, i'm guessing that there must be a hidden file somewhere that orders desktop rendering? | 02:50 |
| cody-somerville | sanubuntu, did you disable rendering of the desktop? | 02:53 |
| sanubuntu | cody-somerville: nope, wouldn't know how | 02:53 |
| cody-somerville | sanubuntu, you can try deleting your gconf settings | 02:54 |
| cody-somerville | sanubuntu, rm -rf ~/.gconf2 | 02:54 |
| cody-somerville | sanubuntu, then logout and log back in | 02:54 |
| sanubuntu | you mean shutdown and restart? | 02:55 |
| cody-somerville | no, logout and log back in | 02:55 |
| sanubuntu | ok, i just ran rm -rf ~/.gconf2 | 02:55 |
| sanubuntu | brb | 02:55 |
| sanubuntu | cody-somerville: nope, still no desktop image, but as i mentioned b4, upon logout or shutdown, it appears briefly .. just not in session | 02:58 |
| cody-somerville | sanubuntu, if you create a new account and log into that, does the same thing happen? | 02:59 |
| sanubuntu | haven't tried a new user account | 02:59 |
| sanubuntu | trying it now | 03:00 |
| carloschacon | cody-somerville: its me, sanubuntu ... how strange, yeah now i got bg image and desktop with new user account | 03:16 |
| carloschacon | also strange now instead of two gnome panels i have just one, and menu expands out of just one icon, instead of the Applications Places System standard appearance | 03:18 |
| lomeanen | hoi | 03:22 |
| carloschacon | cody-somerville: dangd thing now no tray for minimized apps .... arrrrrgggghhhhh ... but i do have a bg image | 03:22 |
| carloschacon | gotta quit for 2day, i'm in costa rica on vacation for gods sake .. hahaha .. time for a beer; thanx for your help | 03:22 |
| lomeanen | Can anyone tell me which file I have to edit to prevent compiz and cairo from starting on X-bootup? I'm running xubuntu 9.10. | 03:24 |
| lomeanen | Or is there another way to return to the default xfce 2d window manager. Dinstalling compiz and emerald results in windows without borders. | 03:27 |
| lomeanen | Deactivating compiz and cairo in system settings does not work either. | 03:29 |
| thumbtak1 | Hello | 04:11 |
| thumbtak1 | Can anyone help me with a driver issue? | 04:11 |
| likemindead | !ask | thumbtak1 | 04:15 |
| ubottu | thumbtak1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 04:15 |
| thumbtak1 | Okay | 04:15 |
| thumbtak1 | Can anyone help me with a driver issue? | 04:15 |
| likemindead | ... | 04:16 |
| likemindead | Details, thumbtak1. What hardware? What drivers have you tried? Etc. | 04:16 |
| thumbtak1 | I am trying to install a HP Pro Webcam Product number | 04:17 |
| thumbtak1 | ... | 04:17 |
| thumbtak1 | ew193aa#aba | 04:17 |
| likemindead | !webcam | 04:18 |
| ubottu | Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 04:18 |
| thumbtak1 | So my HP cam is not supported? | 04:18 |
| likemindead | May not be. | 04:19 |
| likemindead | http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ | 04:20 |
| thumbtak1 | This stinks. I need this for work. Glad I kept windows installed also | 04:20 |
| likemindead | Yup. Too many vendors don't support Linux. :-\ | 04:21 |
| likemindead | But, as you can see at that link, there are many webcams that work perfectly in Linux. | 04:22 |
| likemindead | Sell that HP on eBay & buy a new one. :-) | 04:22 |
| thumbtak1 | I know. I work from home with a few jobs and one requires me to use a webcam. I can't do the job without it. | 04:22 |
| thumbtak1 | My brother bought me it and I need a webcam all the time for work. If I sell it I would need one same day | 04:22 |
| likemindead | Okay, buy a new one first, then sell that one. ;-) | 04:23 |
| likemindead | I actually just bought a Hercules Dualpix Exchange on eBay for $25 shipped. | 04:24 |
| thumbtak1 | Does it install easily in xubuntu? | 04:26 |
| likemindead | There's not really any "install" -- it should plug & play, more or less. | 04:27 |
| likemindead | And, like a lot of things in Linux, you can make adjustments/tweaks. | 04:28 |
| thumbtak1 | I know | 04:28 |
| thumbtak1 | I was trained in linux through college | 04:28 |
| likemindead | Cool. | 04:28 |
| thumbtak1 | Terminal commands on red hat | 04:29 |
| thumbtak1 | That is what I was trained in | 04:29 |
| likemindead | Running Xubuntu now? 9.10? | 04:30 |
| thumbtak1 | Yes I used wubi-install in windows. | 04:30 |
| likemindead | Cool. I've haven't used Wubi. (Haven't used Windows at all in a couple of years.) | 04:31 |
| thumbtak1 | It is a way of installing ubuntu and a few others without burning a CD/DVD. It downloads the ISO through its own software and then you are asked a few questions. After that you restart and in automatically does the whole install. No CD/DVD needed. | 04:33 |
| thumbtak1 | I like that as I am always installing latest copy | 04:34 |
| likemindead | I'm familiar with it. Work well for you? | 04:34 |
| thumbtak1 | It worked with no problems. Only thing I had to do was edit the root password after install. | 04:34 |
| likemindead | Nice. | 04:35 |
| thumbtak1 | I am having a strange, very strange issue and with a strange way of stopping issue | 04:35 |
| likemindead | Karmic is still a little rough for some folks. They're working hard on the bugs. | 04:35 |
| thumbtak1 | I hear a ticking noise out of speakers and it is caused from some application in the OS. The way I stop it is to start a flash application and stop or pause it. Then I minimize it and the noise stops. I leave it minimized. | 04:36 |
| thumbtak1 | Do you know why that is? | 04:37 |
| likemindead | Strange. I do not. :-\ | 04:39 |
| thumbtak1 | I know. Is it a flash glitch in the firefox plugin? | 04:39 |
| thumbtak1 | At least I can shut it up | 04:40 |
| thumbtak1 | I couldn't sleep over it. I had my internal and external speakers on laptop going off. | 04:41 |
| thumbtak1 | That was weird | 04:42 |
| thumbtak1 | My other issue is I would like to get my gamepad working also. Do you know how to get that working? I can't find any guide out there that makes since to me. | 04:44 |
| likemindead | Again, some hardware is supported & some isn't. | 04:45 |
| likemindead | I bought a $10 Logitech gamepad that works great for old NES/SNES/Genesis emulation. | 04:45 |
| thumbtak1 | I got a really good one that works great. With a built in fan for hand cooling | 04:45 |
| thumbtak1 | Mine was 18 but normally 50 or so | 04:46 |
| thumbtak1 | How did you you begin to get it reconized? | 04:46 |
| likemindead | It just worked. :-\ | 04:46 |
| thumbtak1 | Oh like the cam too?? | 04:47 |
| likemindead | All I had to do was assign the buttons in each emulator. | 04:47 |
| thumbtak1 | Let me try this again | 04:48 |
| thumbtak1 | Nope this is what it says... | 04:53 |
| thumbtak1 | Pad 1: /dev/js0 | 04:53 |
| thumbtak1 | No such file or directory | 04:53 |

| schizoTK | Hello xubuntu gurus! | 06:31 |
| lomeanen | How can I return from compiz ti the default window manager in xubuntu, so that it boots with out compiz and cairo. | 10:48 |
| lomeanen | ? - Which configuration file needs to be edited? | 10:49 |
| lomeanen | Victor667Gibson | 10:49 |
| lomeanen | VVVVVVvvrkkkkk | 10:50 |
| Sysi | lomeanen: remove everything from ~/.cache/sessions | 10:54 |
| Sysi | run "xfwm4 --replace" | 10:54 |
| Sysi | and save session when you log out | 10:55 |
| Sysi | i think that should do it | 10:55 |
| freewillie | hello | 10:57 |
| MaxFrames | hello. I am affected by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/397892 | 11:00 |
| MaxFrames | the screensaver does not run when the computer has been idle for the set amount of time, it only starts manually | 11:00 |
| MaxFrames | I am confused because after upgrading to karmic I have two separate control panels for power saving: one is called xfce4 power manager and the other is gnome's | 11:01 |
| MaxFrames | I don't understand the need for two separate panels; and by the way they are currently set up differently and I'm not sure if either is working, or both, or none | 11:02 |
| Sysi | i setted other to not start on boot | 11:02 |
| Sysi | when i had two power-managers | 11:02 |
| MaxFrames | for instance, if I select "always show icon" in xfce4pm it does not work (no icon appears) | 11:02 |
| MaxFrames | Sysi: are you using xubuntu karmic? does the screensaver work for you? | 11:03 |
| Sysi | i haven't tried | 11:03 |
| Sysi | i don't use screensaver | 11:03 |
| MaxFrames | if you could try it (set it to 1 minute and then wait) you would do me a great favor | 11:03 |
| MaxFrames | I often leave the PC unattended, and having to start the screensaver (with screenlock) manually every time is a nuisance | 11:04 |
| MaxFrames | does it work? :) | 11:14 |
| Sysi | i'm not on my own computer right now | 11:15 |
| Sysi | this is some debian with old kde :E | 11:15 |
| MaxFrames | ok | 11:15 |
| MaxFrames | it's a curious thing: this bug first surfaced on launchpad last summer, and it's still standing, and now triaged, but unassigned yet | 11:16 |
| MaxFrames | considering the other issues with karmic, I wonder if Canonical pushed the deadline to confront MS's 7 | 11:17 |
| MaxFrames | IMHO karmic wasn't ready yet... 1 week in RC and then release?! | 11:18 |
| lomeanen | Thank you Sysi, I'll give your proposal a try. | 11:28 |
| lomeanen | Another question: I would like to see the bootmessages at bootup, not that xfce mouse. How can I change that? | 11:30 |
| lomeanen | (permannently) | 11:30 |
| Balsaq | Teeeccchhhhiiieeeee | 11:43 |
| freewillie | So, it is busy here | 11:44 |
| freewillie | What is going on? | 11:45 |
| freewillie | nothing? | 11:46 |
| freewillie | Thats not very much, is it? | 11:48 |

| lucijan | hi there! | 12:44 |
| lucijan | is there a way to boot in recovery mode and suppress the recovery menu? | 12:45 |
| lucijan | and is there a way to run update-grub for a different root directory? | 12:45 |
| lucijan | the problem with the recovery menu is, that it steals "focus" from the shell but just a second after the recovery menu shows up i'm brought into a maintenance shell (because i should run fsck) but i can't type (beacuse of the menu) | 12:47 |
| lucijan | hope anyone can understand this wired long sentence ;) | 12:47 |
| slow-motion | hi | 13:00 |

| Pres-Gas | Hey, st | 16:50 |
| st | can someone help me to install xbmc ? | 16:50 |
| st | i have done everything like it's said on this website: http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=HOW-TO_install_XBMC_for_Linux_on_Ubuntu_with_a_minimal_installation_step-by-step | 16:51 |
| st | but xbmc is not listed in the Package manager, and sudo apt-get install xbmc leaves me with "Couldn't find package xbmc" | 16:52 |
| st | is ubuntu filtering my sources because it | 16:53 |
| benchik | hello | 16:53 |
| st | it's not compatible with my system? (first thought) | 16:53 |
| benchik | was smbclient fixed in xubuntu 9.10? | 16:53 |
| st | hoi | 16:53 |
| petsounds | good evening.. i have problem during the boot process.. after the grub options ubuntu won't start the usplash but only have _ blinking. how can i fix this? thanks | 16:56 |
| Pres-Gas | st, did you add the ppa.launchpad.net repo in that wiki? | 16:59 |
| Pres-Gas | benchik, what was broken? | 16:59 |
| benchik | Pres-Gas: there was a bug in smbclient (inherited from debian) that made the local net connection drop after a minute or so | 17:05 |
| Pres-Gas | You have the debian bug number, benchik? | 17:11 |
| benchik | Pres-Gas: lemme check | 17:11 |
| benchik | how is the site where you report bugs called? | 17:13 |
| benchik | bugzilla? | 17:14 |
| Pres-Gas | Do you have the launchpad bug number, benchik? Where did you see there was a bug, post the url or something. | 17:14 |
| benchik | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fusesmb/+bug/198351 | 17:15 |
| Pres-Gas | bugs.debian.org is the debian site bugs.launchpad.net is the Ubu stuff | 17:15 |
| Pres-Gas | It is unlikely, otherwise the launchpad site would say "Fix Released". You could comment in that link you gave and ask for an update. | 17:19 |
| benchik | Pres-Gas: the only reason i haven't updated to 8.10 at the time was this bug. i hope 10.04 will fix that. currently i have 8.04 lts | 17:23 |
| Pres-Gas | benchik, what are you using smbclient for? | 17:30 |
| Pres-Gas | ...or are you using fusesmb? | 17:31 |
| MrNaz | how would you get esata drives working in karmic? note that i need hotplugging capability | 17:31 |
| benchik | Pres-Gas: i use fusesmb | 17:34 |
| Pres-Gas | benchik, what for? There may be other alternatives depending on what you are using it for | 17:35 |
| benchik | my other pc runs winxp | 17:35 |
| Pres-Gas | Yes, but what are you accessing that is on the winxp machine? Files? Printing? | 17:37 |
| benchik | files and printing. both ways | 17:37 |
| Pres-Gas | ...is the XP mchine stand alone or joined to the domain? | 17:37 |
| Pres-Gas | give us some DETAILS....don't be vague | 17:38 |
| benchik | Pres-Gas: i have 2 pc's one xubuntu one winxp connected to a DSL modem-router | 17:38 |

| felix_ | since I upgraded to 9.10, I'm asked for the password on shutdown. Anyone knows why? | 20:47 |
| xsteadfastx | felix_: me too...but just sometimes | 21:01 |
| felix_ | I don't know.. I don't feel too comfy with dialog boxes asking me for my password.. | 21:04 |
| felix_ | I mean wtf.., I'm sitting at this computer. You ask me for a pw? I just pull the plug.. | 21:05 |
| stevensj | Hello. Can anybody help me with some screen resolution / Xorg.conf issues in Xubuntu 9.10, please? | 21:10 |
| Pres-Gas | felix_, I wonder if it is a Policykit thing | 21:11 |
| felix_ | Pres-Gas, I tried to look thrugh the settings, but couldn't find anything.. I didn't look too long thoug,. | 21:13 |
| SWCDX|WOR | hello, i installed xubuntu on a very old pc which i only need for telnetting. my questions is is there a vnc server or remote desktop i can install on xubuntu. TIA | 21:14 |
| felix_ | this is where linux for human beings ends.. | 21:14 |
| Pres-Gas | how so, felix_? | 21:14 |
| Pres-Gas | Bugs happen, my friend. | 21:14 |
| felix_ | and I'm fine with that. The question is, is it a bug..? | 21:14 |
| Pres-Gas | felix_, you should time travel back about 5 years and see how it was before... | 21:15 |
| Pres-Gas | I am looking at bugs myself...hang on | 21:15 |
| felix_ | Pres-Gas, 5 years ago I used gentoo and nothing unexpected happened :) | 21:16 |
| Pres-Gas | Ummmm....right ;) | 21:16 |
| felix_ | I never heard of PolicyKit before... | 21:18 |
| Pres-Gas | felix_, have a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/consolekit/+bug/445953 | 21:22 |
| Pres-Gas | !445953 | 21:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about 445953 | 21:22 |
| stevensj | SWCDX: What are you telnetting into? If it is another Linux system, try ssh. You might need to install a server to be able to access your own box. sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 21:31 |
| SWCDX|WOR | stevensj i am trying to setup a remote desktop or vnc server on xubuntu | 21:33 |
| SWCDX|WOR | but i can find it on the software | 21:33 |
| SWCDX|WOR | can = cannot | 21:33 |
| stevensj | SWCDX|WOR why? | 21:33 |
| SWCDX|WOR | just in case i need to walk someone | 21:34 |
| SWCDX|WOR | i knwo it's retarded but so are my users | 21:34 |
| felix_ | Pres-Gas thanks, I'll comment on that one. | 21:34 |
| stevensj | SWCDX|WOR If your users are using Linux, then ssh will let you access them. If they are on Windows, then I'm not sure how to do it. | 21:35 |
| SWCDX|WOR | well these users will have xubuntu i am just trying to install remote desktop server. i know with ubuntu it already comes installed | 21:37 |
| stevensj | OK. I don't know much about the ubuntu thing, but I think that I know what you mean. For some changes, I connect to remote machines with ssh -X user@machine. This opens a terminal, but the '-X' bit means that if I open a GUI program, it opens on my screen. | 21:40 |
| SWCDX|WOR | oh wow | 21:42 |
| SWCDX|WOR | never tried that | 21:42 |
| stevensj | Hi. Does anyone know how to use xorg.conf in 9.10. I've made one, but it doesn't seem to be getting used. | 22:17 |
