[02:48] 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 [02:59] rr_lap: what program is that? [02:59] fooka1, you beat me to it. :) [02:59] I have the same problem -- if it's not my video card. [03:20] fooka1, nvclock, it was on lp [03:20] well a link to it [03:21] rr_lap: care to share link?

[03:37] if that points me to what helped you, yes [03:38] well then i mapped my brightness hotkey under settings -> keyboard [03:39] nvclock -S +X and -X. x being how much you want it to increment by, [04:32] night guys, fooka1 wish you luck [05:31] how can i view a pps file = [05:31] ? [05:45] <_Pete_> with openoffice [05:56] Is there a way to edit the main menu in xubuntu?

I have set "GRUB_GFXMODE=1680x1050" in /etc/default/grub and ran "sudo update-grub" It looks same. Suggestion? [07:20] Meh. This was intended to be on #ubuntu -- but yeah. [07:24] I successfully installed Xubuntu 9.10 to USB flash drive (persistant install) and it's working, updating and downloading packages fine. [07:26] 9.10 is awesome [07:26] one little problem I can't log into irc with pidgin.. [07:26] anyone have this problem & how do I fix it ? [07:27] i think empathy have replaced pidgin [07:27] for irc in xubuntu is xchat [07:27] ok..I'm using xchat now [07:28] I've been testing 9.10 on USB all day & night [07:29] everything is working fine, but my "Application" menu dissapeared when I updated. [07:29] how do I get it back on the task bar? [07:31] is there a setting to enable "applications" in the task bar?

[07:34] roll down, seems to be named "xfce-menu" [07:34] ok. [07:35] thanks! [07:35] I have the menu now. [07:37] the whole interface looks much better in 9.10 [07:39] installing updates is cpu intensive, when it updated smbclient the pc locks up... [07:39] only slightly..but it installed eventually [07:40] I reformatted the casper-rw file as ext3 before I updated. Saving to usb seems to be working OK. [07:41] know a good video editor ? [07:43] to cut frames and join clips together.. [07:44] or better... [07:49] I also have Slax 6.1.2 on usb drive.

[08:26] hi [08:35] can i use a virtual resolution in 9.10? i mean, using the visual app i can't, and by reconfiguring x.org with Virtual resolutions it doesn't work either [08:42] got an update for 9.10 this morning which fails to install - see http://paste.ubuntu.com/322243/ [08:42] sysv-rc (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script killed by signal (Segmentation fault), core dumped [10:00] Dicsoseg teneked Balsaq testverem [10:04] ya voll en cowq en aught en [10:12] danke [10:33] 'Alleluyyah bruderz [11:16] hello, my battery is not charging. What might be the problem? [11:18] hardware [11:19] it was working fine until yesterday, when installed xubuntu 9.10 [11:19] coincidence [11:20] buying a new battery will help? [11:20] laptop battery charges even when no operating system is loaded at all [11:20] no idea what is broken [11:20] but it's not related to xubuntu [11:20] TheSheep, thanks [11:23] ..powermanager can still fail [11:24] how? [11:24] can it stop battery from charging? [11:24] well, by not working [11:24] but it charges even if you don't boot anything [11:24] so nothing special has to be done [11:25] it even charges when the laptop is off [11:26] but where do you then know if it charges if nothing tells you that? [11:26] the leds tell me [11:26] and the charge level when I turn it on [11:27] hmm, it seems that my laptop needs charging :D [11:28] greedy bastard [11:28] starve it [11:28] <_Pete_> My laptop announced 3 days ago that battery has been discoonected [11:29] <_Pete_> luckily it's still working :) [11:29] <_Pete_> dunno who stole the battery :/ [11:29] the Gnome [11:29] <_Pete_> nope, this is running KDE :) [11:29] (funnily, on #ubuntu they say it was the mice) [11:30] were* [11:30] i had this 30 minutes before i installed xubuntu [11:30] day before yesterday [11:35] 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? [11:36] it's really /usr/lib/opera/9.63/operapluginwrapper 75 87 /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so which is eating the most [11:36] My window manager is lxde... better than xfce:D [11:37] lxde isn't window manager, it's working enviroment which uses openbox for windowmanager :P [11:38] such pedantics. :) [11:39] their website is titled: LXDE.org | Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment [11:39] with flash nothing's odd btw [11:40] lxde better than xfce. that it is true bruder [11:40] it's probably not a DE.. I like 'working environment'... a catchall phrase that's safe. :) [11:40] the xfce very boring and slowly [11:40] ♥ xfce [11:40] I hate xfce:D [11:40] Sysi, it's me I'm sure. Keeping flash video pages open for ages why I get back to them. [11:40] lot easier than lxde [11:40] lxde fatser than xfce Sysi bruder [11:40] faster.. [11:40] yes [11:41] my pc 11 years old:D [11:41] xfce is enough fast still [11:41] for so userfriendly [11:41] xfce is low overhead, as long as you stay away from the applets. [11:41] but this isn't place for flamewars about opinions [11:42] this is support channel for ubuntu with XFCE :) [11:42] for speed I just stick with fluxbox... who needs quicker than that? [11:42] but any browser uses endlessly amout of ram when it's open long enough [11:42] dunno why [11:42] I need ubuntu support, without any window manager:D [11:43] then #ubuntu :D [11:43] or ubuntu-server if nor gui at all [11:45] ah yeah, but i have a ban in #ubuntu:D [11:46] ongacska, can you wonder why? [11:46] ask from irc council if it was without reason [11:46] ron_o bruder? I am da king of TrollZ:D [11:46] if it was, you may should have here too, but it's same as long as you behave well [11:47] I am da famous and rich penguinkillah [11:47] TUKSKILLAH [11:47] we have -offtopic for offtopic [11:47] :D [11:47] <_Pete_> indeed, rich killah uses 11y old pc lolz [11:47] for a hobby :D [11:48] <_Pete_> lamenezz++ [11:49] sometimes i think if we should have #xubuntu-fi, here are so many finnish people :D [11:50] (well there are plenty of space at #ubuntu-fi so not really necessary) [11:54] Pete bruder: I am da collector too [13:03] heya. I'm trying to connect to a hidden wireless, but when I fill out the details such as password and IP, and select the newly created connection from the list, the option to connect is grayed out. Why is this happening? I know I've got correct settings and all... :( [13:26] hello, screen brighteness of my laptop is set to very low after hihernation or suspend. I can fix only manually aferwards, it does not get back automatically, how can I fix this? [13:40] drop that renee [13:44] 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 ? [13:46] is there a default username & password to log in? Because I didn't set a username or pass when I installed. [13:47] I can't get past the login prompt.. [13:47] Another problem I didn't ask for..Why????? [13:47] Why me ?!!??? [13:49] No, I'm not a hacker or cyber terrorist trying to breach security. [13:49] It's my xubuntu. I need to get past MY login prompt [13:52] pupuserc1610f: did you just leave the username and password fields blank on install? [13:52] yes [13:53] it may seem obvious, but have you tried the enter key for both? [13:53] yes it said 'authentication failure' [13:54] what's the default username & password for the live cd? [13:55] < 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] I fixed it. The default username is Ubuntu. and no password is needed. [13:58] so obvious! [13:59] I have my xubuntu 9.10 desktop up and running.. [14:00] pupuserc1610f: that's good to know :) [14:01] ok bye [14:05] Dicsoseg Allahnak! Ongavezirke koszont titeket! [14:05] I was trying to get access to an old wep key from a wireless device and it is not showing in Network Manager, but can still access the device.

Is it possible to set it open in maximized position all the time? [14:58] 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] 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. [14:59] Can anybody help? [15:07] 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 [15:08] 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? [15:09] 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. [15:19] 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] See what happens on a login time.

I run Xubuntu 9.10 on my old PIII 700MHz laptop. It's excellent. [16:41] how is 910 [16:41] i have 904 [16:41] 9.10 still has some minor bugs (for me) but I'm loving it. [16:41] YMMV. Try the 9.10 Live CD first. [16:42] Adios. [16:42] 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] i was goofin around with it for 2 hours...and nuthin....then i loaded revo and it worked [16:45] hey Sysi..where are you from?

[16:53] 9.04 used to have seahorse, but 9.10 does not anymore...NM will not even show that you have some wep/wpa key listed in edit connections....just blank [16:53] i have to give password of network everytime [16:53] * Pres-Gas begins to whip out the old KeePassX [16:54] Ewww, Sysi. wep or wpa?

[21:33] when i use xterm -fa mono on xubuntu it doesn't look as smooth as on xubuntu, is it some pixel smoothing that gnome does or am i missing something else? [21:43] Using the exact same video drivers, bugs ? [21:52] yep [21:53] That is strange. [21:53] i just tried installing gnome-terminal, it displays the font smooth [21:53] Ever used Tilda?

I love Liberation Mono. [22:06] n8 [22:21] Hi! Could someone help me to understand why some apps like gnome games are mute (no sounds at all) under xubuntu? [22:28] no ideas? [22:30] they may try to use different output [22:30] try choosing pulseaudio from mixer, that's default for gnome iirc [22:32] or if output can be chosen in programs settings [22:32] now i really need to go to bed, hopefyllu you find ansver [22:33] thank you
