| rr_lap | I fixed my brightness issue, well a work around. it has to do with the nvidia restricted drivers i installed. but i found a program to change brightness and mapped it to the brightness control keys :-D | 02:48 |

| fooka1 | rr_lap: what program is that? | 02:59 |
| ron_o | fooka1, you beat me to it. :) | 02:59 |
| ron_o | I have the same problem -- if it's not my video card. | 02:59 |

| leaf-sheep | To those whom use GRUB2 to edit their TTY resolution successfully, I wasn't able to get a new resolution. I have set "GRUB_GFXMODE=1680x1050" in /etc/default/grub and ran "sudo update-grub" It looks same. Suggestion? | 07:19 |

| KostyaXu | I successfully installed Xubuntu 9.10 to USB flash drive (persistant install) and it's working, updating and downloading packages fine. | 07:24 |
| KostyaXu | 9.10 is awesome | 07:26 |
| KostyaXu | one little problem I can't log into irc with pidgin.. | 07:26 |
| KostyaXu | anyone have this problem & how do I fix it ? | 07:26 |
| Sysi | i think empathy have replaced pidgin | 07:27 |
| Sysi | for irc in xubuntu is xchat | 07:27 |
| KostyaXu | ok..I'm using xchat now | 07:27 |
| KostyaXu | I've been testing 9.10 on USB all day & night | 07:28 |
| KostyaXu | everything is working fine, but my "Application" menu dissapeared when I updated. | 07:29 |
| KostyaXu | how do I get it back on the task bar? | 07:29 |
| KostyaXu | is there a setting to enable "applications" in the task bar? | 07:31 |
| Sysi | right click and choose: add | 07:31 |
| Sysi | there should me main menu in one option | 07:32 |
| KostyaXu | I see launcher & quick laucher. | 07:33 |
| KostyaXu | it dissapeared when I updated 83 updates with update manager. | 07:34 |
| Sysi | roll down, seems to be named "xfce-menu" | 07:34 |
| KostyaXu | ok. | 07:34 |
| KostyaXu | thanks! | 07:35 |
| KostyaXu | I have the menu now. | 07:35 |
| KostyaXu | the whole interface looks much better in 9.10 | 07:37 |
| KostyaXu | installing updates is cpu intensive, when it updated smbclient the pc locks up... | 07:39 |
| KostyaXu | only slightly..but it installed eventually | 07:39 |
| KostyaXu | I reformatted the casper-rw file as ext3 before I updated. Saving to usb seems to be working OK. | 07:40 |
| KostyaXu | <installed flash plugin, 83 updates, 2 games so far.. | 07:41 |
| KostyaXu | know a good video editor ? | 07:43 |
| KostyaXu | to cut frames and join clips together.. | 07:43 |
| KostyaXu | or better... | 07:44 |
| KostyaXu | I also have Slax 6.1.2 on usb drive. | 07:49 |

| renata | hello, my battery is not charging. What might be the problem? | 11:16 |
| TheSheep | hardware | 11:18 |
| renata | it was working fine until yesterday, when installed xubuntu 9.10 | 11:19 |
| TheSheep | coincidence | 11:19 |
| renata | buying a new battery will help? | 11:20 |
| TheSheep | laptop battery charges even when no operating system is loaded at all | 11:20 |
| TheSheep | no idea what is broken | 11:20 |
| TheSheep | but it's not related to xubuntu | 11:20 |
| renata | TheSheep, thanks | 11:20 |
| Sysi | ..powermanager can still fail | 11:23 |
| TheSheep | how? | 11:24 |
| TheSheep | can it stop battery from charging? | 11:24 |
| Sysi | well, by not working | 11:24 |
| TheSheep | but it charges even if you don't boot anything | 11:24 |
| TheSheep | so nothing special has to be done | 11:24 |
| TheSheep | it even charges when the laptop is off | 11:25 |
| Sysi | but where do you then know if it charges if nothing tells you that? | 11:26 |
| TheSheep | the leds tell me | 11:26 |
| TheSheep | and the charge level when I turn it on | 11:26 |
| Sysi | hmm, it seems that my laptop needs charging :D | 11:27 |
| TheSheep | greedy bastard | 11:28 |
| TheSheep | starve it | 11:28 |
| _Pete_ | My laptop announced 3 days ago that battery has been discoonected | 11:28 |

| _Pete_ | dunno who stole the battery :/ | 11:29 |

| ron_o | this isn't necessarily an Xubuntu thing. But how can an applicaiton, say a web browser and especially with a plugin, keep asking for more and more RAM, upward of over 1GB? | 11:35 |
| ron_o | it's really /usr/lib/opera/9.63/operapluginwrapper 75 87 /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so which is eating the most | 11:36 |
| ongacska | My window manager is lxde... better than xfce:D | 11:36 |
| Sysi | lxde isn't window manager, it's working enviroment which uses openbox for windowmanager :P | 11:37 |
| ron_o | such pedantics. :) | 11:38 |
| ron_o | their website is titled: LXDE.org | Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment | 11:39 |
| Sysi | with flash nothing's odd btw | 11:39 |
| ongacska | lxde better than xfce. that it is true bruder | 11:40 |
| ron_o | it's probably not a DE.. I like 'working environment'... a catchall phrase that's safe. :) | 11:40 |
| ongacska | the xfce very boring and slowly | 11:40 |
| Sysi | ♥ xfce | 11:40 |
| ongacska | I hate xfce:D | 11:40 |
| ron_o | Sysi, it's me I'm sure. Keeping flash video pages open for ages why I get back to them. | 11:40 |
| Sysi | lot easier than lxde | 11:40 |
| ongacska | lxde fatser than xfce Sysi bruder | 11:40 |
| ongacska | faster.. | 11:40 |
| Sysi | yes | 11:40 |
| ongacska | my pc 11 years old:D | 11:41 |
| Sysi | xfce is enough fast still | 11:41 |
| Sysi | for so userfriendly | 11:41 |
| ron_o | xfce is low overhead, as long as you stay away from the applets. | 11:41 |
| Sysi | but this isn't place for flamewars about opinions | 11:41 |
| Sysi | this is support channel for ubuntu with XFCE :) | 11:42 |
| ron_o | for speed I just stick with fluxbox... who needs quicker than that? | 11:42 |
| Sysi | but any browser uses endlessly amout of ram when it's open long enough | 11:42 |
| Sysi | dunno why | 11:42 |
| ongacska | I need ubuntu support, without any window manager:D | 11:42 |
| Sysi | then #ubuntu :D | 11:43 |
| Sysi | or ubuntu-server if nor gui at all | 11:43 |
| ongacska | ah yeah, but i have a ban in #ubuntu:D | 11:45 |
| ron_o | ongacska, can you wonder why? | 11:46 |
| Sysi | ask from irc council if it was without reason | 11:46 |
| ongacska | ron_o bruder? I am da king of TrollZ:D | 11:46 |
| Sysi | if it was, you may should have here too, but it's same as long as you behave well | 11:46 |

| pupuserc1610f | I'm having a problem with Xubuntu 9.10. I installed it to usb drive & updated. When I reboot, it asks to log in with username and password. Problem: I don't have a username or password. What can I do to enter/override the login prompt ? | 13:44 |
| pupuserc1610f | is there a default username & password to log in? Because I didn't set a username or pass when I installed. | 13:46 |
| pupuserc1610f | I can't get past the login prompt.. | 13:47 |
| pupuserc1610f | Another problem I didn't ask for..Why????? | 13:47 |
| pupuserc1610f | Why me ?!!??? | 13:47 |
| pupuserc1610f | No, I'm not a hacker or cyber terrorist trying to breach security. | 13:49 |
| pupuserc1610f | It's my xubuntu. I need to get past MY login prompt | 13:49 |
| wrgb | pupuserc1610f: did you just leave the username and password fields blank on install? | 13:52 |
| pupuserc1610f | yes | 13:52 |
| wrgb | it may seem obvious, but have you tried the enter key for both? | 13:53 |
| pupuserc1610f | yes it said 'authentication failure' | 13:53 |
| pupuserc1610f | what's the default username & password for the live cd? | 13:54 |
| pupuserc1610f | <<googling | 13:55 |
| Pres-Gas | Gentlefolk, what is the 9.10 way of viewing/manipulating your keys and passwords? I thought we used to have seahorse or something like that in 9.04, but I cannot find anything for xubu 9.10. Although I do see gnome-keyring-daemon active. | 13:58 |
| pupuserc1610f | I fixed it. The default username is Ubuntu. and no password is needed. | 13:58 |
| pupuserc1610f | so obvious! | 13:58 |
| pupuserc1610f | I have my xubuntu 9.10 desktop up and running.. | 13:59 |

| Guest73528 | Hi All. I'm having problems logging into Xubuntu 9.10. It used to ask me to enter my password twice before actually logging on - now it won't log in at all. | 14:58 |
| Guest73528 | From what I have read in the forums, I think that this is something to do with gdm, but I am not sure how to fix it. | 14:58 |
| Guest73528 | Can anybody help? | 14:59 |
| shooree | is it possible to download and install packages from https://launchpad.net/~network-manager/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=karmic manually and how? I don't see a download link and my connection is acting up, making me unable to download properly through apt-get | 15:07 |
| Pres-Gas | Guest73528, are you having your machine authenticate using any other method besides local files? Was this 9.10 install a fresh install or an upgrade in place? | 15:08 |
| Guest73528 | It was a fresh install, authenticating on local files. I'd been messing a bit with xorg.conf, though. But the double logging in was already happening. | 15:09 |
| Pres-Gas | Guest73528, the xorg.conf should not impact this. I would browse through your logs. /var/log/syslo /var/log/auth.log and /var/log/user.log | 15:19 |
| Pres-Gas | See what happens on a login time. | 15:19 |
| Guest73528 | Pres-Gas: Will do | 15:23 |
| Pres-Gas | Keep us postal, Guest73528 and feel free to use the pastebin if needbe. | 15:26 |
| Pres-Gas | !pastebin | 15:26 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic | 15:26 |
| Pres-Gas | At least it lets you in to see all this, Guest73528 | 15:26 |
| Guest73528 | Pres-Gas: I've temporarily got round the problem - by installing ubuntu-desktop, which lets me start a session in GNOME. It's a bit slow, but will do for now. I'll try a reinstall later on. | 15:34 |

| Balsaq | with the xubuntu cd burner-brasero, is it ready to use, or do i have to hook it iup 1st? | 16:35 |
| Balsaq | iup=up | 16:35 |
| likemindead | Hook what up? | 16:36 |
| Sysi | just use it | 16:36 |
| Sysi | so did i | 16:36 |
| Balsaq | wow | 16:36 |
| Balsaq | coll | 16:36 |
| Balsaq | cool | 16:36 |
| * likemindead is confused. | 16:36 | |
| Balsaq | i can't believe how good xubuntu is | 16:36 |
| Sysi | c'mon, it's xUBUNTU :P | 16:37 |
| Balsaq | i dunno sometimes you need to get the package...engaged or something | 16:37 |
| Balsaq | i had to do a trminal command to get youtube going | 16:37 |
| Balsaq | yup xubuntu is the best | 16:38 |
| Balsaq | i like it more that xp pro | 16:38 |
| Balsaq | i can't imagine fast it would run a a modern computer | 16:39 |
| Balsaq | mine are outdated..and they run fast | 16:39 |
| likemindead | Yup. I run Xubuntu 9.10 on my old PIII 700MHz laptop. It's excellent. | 16:40 |
| Balsaq | how is 910 | 16:41 |
| Balsaq | i have 904 | 16:41 |
| likemindead | 9.10 still has some minor bugs (for me) but I'm loving it. | 16:41 |
| likemindead | YMMV. Try the 9.10 Live CD first. | 16:41 |
| likemindead | Adios. | 16:42 |
| Balsaq | see when i said hook it up...it was becuase i just started burning stuff and i tried it on my xp computer and i had to load software 1st before i could burn | 16:42 |
| Balsaq | i was goofin around with it for 2 hours...and nuthin....then i loaded revo and it worked | 16:42 |
| Balsaq | hey Sysi..where are you from? | 16:45 |
| Balsaq | i am from eastern usa....massachusetts | 16:46 |

| Balsaq | hmmmm, the cool weather must be good for the brain? | 16:48 |
| Sysi | we need to use xubuntu, in here far north aren't yet multicore hightech systems :P | 16:48 |
| Sysi | i blame education system usually | 16:48 |
| Balsaq | this computer is a p4, single core, 2.4 with only 512 rdram (from 2003) | 16:49 |
| Balsaq | i get them free at work...when the corporation is done with them | 16:49 |
| Sysi | i have celeron 2.4, 1gig | 16:50 |

| Sysi | hmm, can't remember | 16:55 |
| Pres-Gas | I will have to whip out my 9.10 lappy and see about that | 16:55 |
| Sysi | it asks passwd of network, not keyring | 16:55 |

| ConfusoFelice | Hi! Could someone help me to understand why some apps like gnome games are mute (no sounds at all) under xubuntu? | 22:21 |
| ConfusoFelice | no ideas? | 22:28 |
