[02:18] <xenol> hello
[02:18] <xenol> i am interested in how does xubuntu deal with displaying battery state notifications
[02:19] <xenol> is there any patch for xfce4-power-manager?
[02:33] <cody-somerville> xenol, you just need to be running a libnotify compatible notification daemon I think
[02:35] <xenol> cody-somerville: when i insert battery or AC it sends notification. tho i am looking for something similar to this
[02:35] <xenol> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Specifications/Karmic/NotifyOsd?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=notify-osd-powerinfo-example.png
[02:36] <cody-somerville> that wasn't implemented
[02:36] <xenol> any patch?
[02:42] <xenol> cody-somerville: any patch for it which will implement that feature?
[02:43] <cody-somerville> not as far as i know
[02:43] <xenol> it works only in crappy ubuntu?
[02:43] <xenol> pardon my language though :)
[03:22] <sanubuntu> armageddon09: ok, i think i found what you're talking about, looks like the right thing .. i'll have to log out to the other user and try it
[03:22] <sanubuntu> thanks
[03:24] <pHro> hi
[03:27] <jhb1608> question, how do I install Java when I'm in Xubuntu 9.10?

[07:48] <xsteadfastx> one iso is one cd
[08:04] <antonio_> hello
[08:05] <antonio_> bonjour
[08:05] <antonio_> comment allez vous?
[08:06] <antonio_> ??
[08:06] <antonio_> y a t'il quelqu'un svp
[08:06] <antonio_> i need help
[08:07] <Besogon> What's wrong?
[08:07] <antonio_> pleeeaaaaaase
[08:07] <antonio_> ouf
[08:07] <antonio_> well
[08:08] <antonio_> it's my screen resolution
[08:08] <antonio_> it's only 800x600 but under win its more than that
[08:08] <antonio_> how can change it
[08:08] <antonio_> dell C600 p3
[08:08] <antonio_> ram 128
[08:08] <antonio_> HD 10
[08:09] <antonio_> need smth more?
[08:09] <Besogon> Have you installed drivers?
[08:09] <antonio_> which ones?
[08:11] <antonio_> i've tried to update some but it(s still the same
[08:12] <antonio_> any idea?
[08:14] <antonio_> j'ai un dell latitude c6OO et je n'arrive pas a changer la resolution de mon ecran
[08:14] <antonio_> a l'aide svp!
[08:16] <antonio_> je suis toujours a l'ecoute hein!
[08:16] <Besogon> You use xfce4-display-settings for changing resolution don't you? So If your system has driver for graphics card and you are interested in another resolution you should make xorg.conf
[08:17] <antonio_> the pb is that my xorg.conf file is empty
[08:17] <antonio_> and when i change it
[08:18] <antonio_> it bugs
[08:18] <antonio_> when i restart
[08:20] <Besogon> antonio_, xorg.conf is easy to change.
[08:21] <antonio_> i know it is
[08:22] <Besogon> !paste
[08:23] <antonio_> and i 've even a file on a forum
[08:23] <antonio_> i copied it and pasted in my xorg.conf file
[08:23] <antonio_> but still nada
[08:23] <antonio_>  :(
[08:24] <Besogon> This is mine http://paste.ubuntu.com/316685/
[08:25] <Besogon> modelines should be only your own.
[08:26] <Besogon> !xorg.conf
[08:30] <antonio_> thbaks a lot
[08:30] <antonio_> i will check and tell you later guys
[08:34] <antonio_> sorry for being so slow my computer is a bit slow i got to add some memory ;D
[08:35] <Besogon> What graphic card you have got? (nvidia, ati, intel)
[08:39] <antonio_> intel i think
[08:40] <antonio_> but am not sure
[08:40] <antonio_> how do i check?
[08:41] <antonio_> VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02)
[08:41] <antonio_> isn't the graphic card line?
[08:42] <antonio_> so its NTI and not intel
[08:43] <Besogon> !ati
[08:44] <Besogon> See that link
[08:59] <antonio_> hello am back
[09:00] <antonio_> i type the command, my screen went black and i had to restart it manually
[09:00] <antonio_> is it normal?
[11:25] <xenol> what's the default xubuntu cursor theme?
[11:26] <Sysi> dmz?
[11:27] <xenol> i am asking you, don't expect answer from me. i am not using debian based distros

[12:45] <antonio_> with my screen pb?
[12:46] <messiah> hello, which are the packages i need to install from the terminal in order to listen mp3 and watch youtube videos? i mean the exact name
[12:49] <antonio_> you can download vlc
[12:49] <antonio_> it has all the codecs required
[12:50] <antonio_> i think it sudo apt-get install vlc-nox
[12:50] <antonio_> try this
[12:51] <antonio_> go on the site of VLC u will have the exact command
[12:58] <antonio_> my connexion is very baaaaaaaaaad!!!!
[13:27] <_YeahRight> messiah: the codecs are in xubuntu extras package or something
[14:33] <wrgb> messiah: the package you need in Synaptic package manager is xubuntu-restricted-extras , this will install mp3 and flash support
[15:11] <Carabas> I have the following issue: I set xubuntu to boot into commandline. Now when I start X using the "startx"-command I have no sound in X. When I swich to a tty I can hear what is being played back under X. - Stange.
[15:11] <Carabas> Strange.
[15:50] <Carabas> Does anyone know how the sound is started in Karmic? I.e.: What scripts, what loads the driver (pulse)?
[15:54] <vinnl> Xubuntu doesn't come with PulseAudio
[15:54] <vinnl> It uses Alsa I believe
[16:10] <Carabas> "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart" results in "command not found". I guess it's pulse.
[16:11] <vinnl> Probably because Upstart is used instead of init
[16:11] <Carabas> Nevertheless; How do I start it manually?
[16:11] <vinnl> And: sorry, don't know yet :(
[16:11] <Carabas> jop
[16:12] <Carabas> I'd like to read in detail about upstart.
[16:12] <vinnl> !upstart
[16:12] <cody-somerville> there is no daemon afaik for sound like there is with pulseaudio
[16:12] <cody-somerville> you can't "stop and start" sound
[16:13] <Carabas> Ah, o.k.
[16:14] <Carabas> Thanks ubottu
[16:15] <vinnl> He's a bot :)
[16:15] <vinnl> !ubottu
[16:16] <vinnl> Anyway, I'm off, bye :)
[17:46] <petsounds> hi.. i need help, java applet won't run. http://imagebin.org/71446  :(
[17:47] <stevensj> Hi, has anyone used the xserver-xorg-video-openchrome package?  Any advice?
[17:58] <genii> The advice would be to avoid getting a system with some Via Chrome card in it to begin with
[18:27] <rtX_mancer42> ??
[19:11] <dan_> Hey there. Can anyone help with my xubuntu laptop screen resolution problem? Resolution is smaller than screen so I have a big black border.
[19:11] <dan_> Only options in display properties are 800x600 and below
[19:12] <dan_> Apparently there's no xorg.conf anymore...?
[19:15] <TheSheep> you can still create it and it will be used
[19:17] <dan_> How can I auto generate a new one? tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but nothing happens
[19:17] <genii> You don't need a complete one. If you have some stanza set which includes whatever you want to specify for settings you can use just that excerpt
[19:19] <dan_> I need to figure that bit out yet. Really old laptop, intel graphics, not sure of exact model.  :\
[19:31] <genii> lspci | grep VGA should tell the model
[19:38] <maddonline4352> hello together.. I'm a xubuntu newbe and i have troubles installing my usb wlan driver... can someone probably help me?
[19:40] <_Techie_> what usb wifi module is it?
[19:41] <maddonline4352> http://www.sitecom.com/support-product/productid/710#drivers
[19:42] <maddonline4352> alternatively i have got a pcmcia card from us robotics USR5411 .. but i think this one is more difficult to install i suppose
[19:43] <maddonline4352> so the first module is WL-608 BL - Wireless USB Adapter 54g by sitecom
[19:44] <_Techie_> have you tried ndiswrapper?
[19:45] <madddd223> but as i am linux newbe... i am not sure if id did everything right
[19:45] <madddd223> :/
[19:46] <_Techie_> what steps have you tried so far?
[19:46] <madddd223> well i successfully installed the ndiswrapper
[19:46] <madddd223> windows wlan support
[19:47] <madddd223> then i loaded the .inf file
[19:47] <madddd223> which was successful
[19:47] <madddd223> but
[19:47] <madddd223> the device wasn't found
[19:47] <_Techie_> have you removed and re inserted the device?
[19:47] <madddd223> yes!
[19:48] <madddd223> and i also rebooted twice
[19:48] <_Techie_> that answers that question
[19:48] <madddd223> why?
[19:48] <_Techie_> i was about to ask if yuou had tried rebooting
[19:49] <madddd223> ah ok =)
[19:49] <madddd223> well first of all thank you for responding to my issue!!
[19:50] <_Techie_> no problem, unfortunately i cant really help too much as i have had no experience with ndiswrapper, i anything i suggest is just a stab
[19:50] <_Techie_> so*
[19:50] <madddd223> yepp thank u anyways... u are certainlky more experienced than me. as it is the first time i try a linux os
[19:51] <_Techie_> the other alternative is to install the chipset drivers
[19:51] <madddd223> difficult?
[19:51] <_Techie_> there should be guides
[19:52] <madddd223> ok. i just ask u directly, is there any chance of similar linux OS, that could find the wifi drivers automatically?
[19:53] <_Pete_> madddd223: sure, do your own distribution
[19:53] <madddd223> :D
[19:53] <_Techie_> madddd223, http://www.ralinktech.com/license_us.php?n=2&p=0&t=U0wyRnpjMlYwY3k4eU1EQTVMekE0THpJMEwyUnZkMjVzYjJGa01ERTFPVGs0TmpRMk1DNWllakk5UFQweU1EQTVYekE0TWpCZlVsUXlPRGN3WDB4cGJuVjRYMU5VUVY5V01pNHlMakF1TUM1MFlYST1D
[19:56] <madddd223> ok thank u so far... what will be further proceeding?
[19:56] <_Techie_> not sure, i havent bothered to go past that page
[19:58] <madddd223> i just downloaded "2009_0820_RT2870_Linux_STA_V2.2.0.0.tar.bz2"
[20:00] <_Techie_> you will want to unpack that file
[20:01] <madddd223> sure. but is it the right chipset?
[20:01] <madddd223> or should i just give it a try
[20:01] <_Techie_> it should be, i would normally check a lspci but i already know that sitecom have masked the chipset name
[20:01] <_Techie_> lsusb*
[20:02] <_Techie_> anyone wanna buy me one of these? http://www.einfo.co.nz/shop/product_info.php?products_id=10240
[20:02] <marten_> Is there a way to revert my computer to the state it was, say, yesterday? I cant find anything about it anywhere, strangely enough
[20:03] <_Techie_> marten_, as far as i know, *buntu doesnt have any time machine software or system restore
[20:03] <marten_> How sad
[20:04] <marten_> The update to 9.10 didn't go as smoothly as I hoped
[20:04] <_Techie_> haha, join the club
[20:04] <madddd223> techie.. thank you so far... i will give it a try
[20:05] <marten_> My laptop isn't a laptop anymore, since I need to use an external mouse. No sound either, for that matter
[20:05] <marten_> I could of course use Vista, but i rather not
[20:06] <_Techie_> marten_, sounds more like a brick
[20:06] <_Techie_> marten_, and if you install vista it will become a cement truck
[20:06] <marten_> I dualboot, so its already there
[20:07] <_Techie_> why not dualboot XP
[20:07] <marten_> The updater said something about a partial installation of upgrades. Is there any way to see if I got everything intended?
[20:08] <marten_> Great, the colors are wrong playing videos
[20:10] <marten_> I dont have XP on disc, unfortunately
[20:15] <marten_> Otherwise, is there a way to run the 9.10-update again?
[20:17] <_Techie_> marten_, im not entirely sure but perhaps sudo apt-get upgrade or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade might do the trick
[20:17] <marten_> Will try
[20:18] <marten_> No
[20:18] <marten_> It seems to think that everything is there
[20:18] <marten_> I will have to fix this another day
[20:18] <marten_> Thanks for everything
[20:48] <Balsaq> _Techie_wauup
[20:48] <Balsaq> wassup i meant
[20:49] <alienkid10> I followed the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch but I don't get a boot menu like on the offical liveCD how can I get a boot menu not a prompt?
[20:50] <Balsaq> same here!
[20:50] <Balsaq> i think we have to go into bios and change the boot order?
[20:50] <alienkid10> no
[20:50] <alienkid10> I can get the disc to boot
[20:50] <Balsaq> i cannot
[20:50] <alienkid10> but can't get a menu
[20:50] <alienkid10> then yes
[20:50] <alienkid10> you have to go to BIOS
[20:50] <alienkid10> I test in Vbox
[20:51] <Balsaq> hmmmm...didnt want to mess around in there, this particular computer has a nice xp install on it
[20:52] <Balsaq> when i go in, it tap f2 a lot to get a menu?
[20:52] <alienkid10> then boot off CD
[20:53] <Balsaq> can i boot off cd without messin round in bios?
[20:53] <alienkid10> depends
[20:53] <Balsaq> do i start by tapping f2 or f12
[20:53] <alienkid10> just change the boot order
[20:53] <alienkid10> I use Vbox to test CD before burn
[20:53] <alienkid10> depends
[20:53] <Balsaq> i already burned it so i got what i got now
[20:54] <alienkid10> I don't know your BIOS/computer so I can't help with BIOS specific problems
[20:55] <Balsaq> weel i have a few of these and they all booted ubuntu stuff before no prob
[20:55] <Balsaq> but they were clean before i booted buntu..the hd had been wiped clean
[20:55] <Balsaq> this has xp on it
[20:56] <alienkid10> wait
[20:56] <alienkid10> what exactly is your problem?
[20:57] <Balsaq> i put cd in  trey (one i just made of xubuntu) and am trying to run xubuntu fro the cd...in my xp computer and have not been able to get it going as of yet
[20:57] <Balsaq> want to run a live cd as they say without touching-harming xp
[20:57] <_Techie_> alienkid10, try re installing grub, i have had similar problems in persistant USB installs where grub defaults to its command line
[20:57] <alienkid10> how?
[20:58] <alienkid10> on the CD?
[20:58] <_Techie_> yeah
[20:58] <alienkid10> (.iso)
[20:58] <_Techie_> there should be a command grub-install
[20:58] <Guest20454> !it
[20:58] <alienkid10> in a chroot?
[20:58] <Guest20454> bene!!
[20:59] <_Techie_> Balsaq, run the wubi installer, install it inside of windows then you can remove it at your will
[21:00] <Balsaq> oh ok...thought i could just toss it in t here and run it
[21:00] <_Techie_> yeah you can, but the wubi install will give a faster system than a livecd
[21:00] <Balsaq> just wanted too see if i burned it correctly...made it for my sister
[21:01] <Balsaq> already have a nice xubu set up in the basement
[21:01] <Balsaq> when i burned it i chose ISO image and set my burn speed to 8x
[21:02] <Balsaq> so hopefully thats correct
[21:02] <alienkid10> I ran grub-install in chroot now resquash and iso?
[21:12] <alienkid10> _Techie_?
[21:12] <_Techie_> huh
[21:12] <alienkid10> I ran grub-install in chroot now resquash and iso?
[21:12] <_Techie_> i would think so
[21:12] <_Techie_> the other alternative is syslinux
[21:13] <alienkid10> whoops
[21:13] <_Techie_> http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/The_Syslinux_Project
[21:13] <alienkid10> I think I am using isolinux
[21:14] <_Techie_> then read up on this
[21:14] <_Techie_> http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/ISOLINUX
[21:14] <alienkid10> y tree is: casper install and isolinux
[21:14] <alienkid10> so yeah
[21:15] <alienkid10> where do I get isolinux.bin and .cfg?
[21:16] <_Techie_> no clue, never worked with isolinux other than booting livecd's
[21:16] <_Techie_> you might want to look for some more help in #syslinux
[21:17] <alienkid10> ok
