[02:48] <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
[02:59] <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.
[03:20] <rr_lap> fooka1, nvclock, it was on lp
[03:20] <rr_lap> well a link to it
[03:21] <fooka1> rr_lap: care to share link?
[03:22] <rr_lap> is it nvidia chipset?

[07:19] <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?
[07:20] <leaf-sheep> Meh. This was intended to be on #ubuntu -- but yeah.
[07:24] <KostyaXu> I successfully installed Xubuntu 9.10 to USB flash drive (persistant install) and it's working, updating and downloading packages fine.
[07:26] <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 ?
[07:27] <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
[07:28] <KostyaXu> I've been testing 9.10 on USB all day & night
[07:29] <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?
[07:31] <KostyaXu> is there a setting to enable "applications" in the task bar?
[07:31] <Sysi> right click and choose: add
[07:32] <Sysi> there should me main menu in one option
[07:33] <KostyaXu> I see launcher & quick laucher.
[07:34] <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.
[07:35] <KostyaXu> thanks!
[07:35] <KostyaXu> I have the menu now.
[07:37] <KostyaXu> the whole interface looks much better in 9.10
[07:39] <KostyaXu> installing updates is cpu intensive, when it updated smbclient the pc locks up...
[07:39] <KostyaXu> only slightly..but it installed eventually
[07:40] <KostyaXu> I reformatted the casper-rw file as ext3 before I updated.  Saving to usb seems to be working OK.
[07:41] <KostyaXu> <installed flash plugin, 83 updates, 2 games so far..
[07:43] <KostyaXu> know a good video editor ?
[07:43] <KostyaXu> to cut frames and join clips together..
[07:44] <KostyaXu> or better...
[07:49] <KostyaXu> I also have Slax 6.1.2 on usb drive.

[08:26] <Freddy2_> hi
[08:35] <Freddy2_> 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

[11:16] <renata> hello, my battery is not charging. What might be the problem?
[11:18] <TheSheep> hardware
[11:19] <renata> it was working fine until yesterday, when installed xubuntu 9.10
[11:19] <TheSheep> coincidence
[11:20] <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
[11:23] <Sysi> ..powermanager can still fail
[11:24] <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
[11:25] <TheSheep> it even charges when the laptop is off
[11:26] <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
[11:27] <Sysi> hmm, it seems that my laptop needs charging :D
[11:28] <TheSheep> greedy bastard
[11:28] <TheSheep> 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] <TheSheep> the Gnome
[11:29] <_Pete_> nope, this is running KDE :)
[11:29] <TheSheep> (funnily, on #ubuntu they say it was the mice)
[11:30] <TheSheep> were*
[11:30] <Sysi> i had this 30 minutes before i installed xubuntu
[11:30] <Sysi> day before yesterday
[11:35] <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?
[11:36] <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
[11:37] <Sysi> lxde isn't window manager, it's working enviroment which uses openbox for windowmanager :P
[11:38] <ron_o> such pedantics. :)
[11:39] <ron_o> their website is titled:  LXDE.org | Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment
[11:39] <Sysi> with flash nothing's odd btw
[11:40] <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
[11:41] <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
[11:42] <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
[11:43] <Sysi> then #ubuntu :D
[11:43] <Sysi> or ubuntu-server if nor gui at all
[11:45] <ongacska> ah yeah, but i have a ban in #ubuntu:D
[11:46] <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
[11:47] <ongacska> I am da famous and rich penguinkillah
[11:47] <ongacska> TUKSKILLAH

[13:44] <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 ?
[13:46] <pupuserc1610f> is there a default username & password to log in?  Because I didn't set a username or pass when I installed.
[13:47] <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 ?!!???
[13:49] <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
[13:52] <wrgb> pupuserc1610f: did you just leave the username and password fields blank on install?
[13:52] <pupuserc1610f> yes
[13:53] <wrgb> it may seem obvious, but have you tried the enter key for both?
[13:53] <pupuserc1610f> yes it said 'authentication failure'
[13:54] <pupuserc1610f> what's the default username & password for the live cd?
[13:55] <pupuserc1610f> <<googling
[13:58] <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!
[13:59] <pupuserc1610f> I have my xubuntu 9.10 desktop up and running..
[14:00] <wrgb> pupuserc1610f: that's good to know :)

[14:58] <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.
[14:59] <Guest73528> Can anybody help?
[15:07] <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
[15:08] <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?
[15:09] <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.
[15:19] <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.
[15:23] <Guest73528> Pres-Gas: Will do
[15:26] <Pres-Gas> Keep us postal, Guest73528 and feel free to use the pastebin if needbe.
[15:26] <Pres-Gas> !pastebin
[15:26] <Pres-Gas> At least it lets you in to see all this, Guest73528
[15:34] <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.
[16:35] <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
[16:36] <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
[16:37] <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
[16:38] <Balsaq> yup xubuntu is the best
[16:38] <Balsaq> i like it more that xp pro
[16:39] <Balsaq> i can't imagine fast it would run a a modern computer
[16:39] <Balsaq> mine are outdated..and they run fast
[16:40] <likemindead> Yup. I run Xubuntu 9.10 on my old PIII 700MHz laptop. It's excellent.
[16:41] <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.
[16:42] <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
[16:45] <Balsaq> hey Sysi..where are you from?
[16:46] <Balsaq> i am from eastern usa....massachusetts
[16:47] <Sysi> finland
[16:47] <Sysi> northern europe

[16:47] <Balsaq> Pete...gnome..and you
[16:48] <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
[16:49] <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
[16:50] <Sysi> i have celeron 2.4, 1gig
[16:50] <Balsaq> perfect for xubuntu
[16:50] <Sysi> well, also dualcore but it's not powerful these days
[16:50]  * Pres-Gas would just like to have access to his keyring and have GDM not list users by default
[16:50] <Sysi> xdmcp would also be cool
[16:51] <Pres-Gas> Indeed, Sysi
[16:51] <Sysi> kdm just don't work well on my machine
[16:51] <Sysi> kde don't at all
[16:51] <Pres-Gas> Also, the GDM theme for 9.04 was a-w-e-s-o-m-e
[16:51] <Sysi> yea
[16:52] <Pres-Gas> Sysi, got any input on the keyring thing for Network Manager?
[16:53] <Pres-Gas> 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] <Sysi> i have to give password of network everytime
[16:53]  * Pres-Gas begins to whip out the old KeePassX
[16:54] <Pres-Gas> Ewww, Sysi.  wep or wpa?

[16:54] <Pres-Gas> I don't have that issue, but I cannot reveal it if I chose to
[16:55] <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
[16:56] <Pres-Gas> My workstation seems to have that installed
[17:37] <xae8koo> Can I use my PS3 controller as a mouse?
[17:44] <likemindead> Anything is possible with Linux.
[17:44] <likemindead> You just might have to write the code. ;-)

[21:31] <bugs> hey
[21:32] <bugs> i know this might sound a little bit weird, but is it possible that xubuntu displays fonts differently than ubuntu?
[21:33] <bugs> 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] <likemindead> Using the exact same video drivers, bugs ?
[21:52] <bugs> yep
[21:53] <likemindead> That is strange.
[21:53] <bugs> i just tried installing gnome-terminal, it displays the font smooth
[21:53] <likemindead> Ever used Tilda?
[21:53] <bugs> nope
[21:53] <likemindead> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilda_%28software%29
[21:53] <likemindead> It's awesome.
[21:54] <likemindead> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-a-drop-down-console-in-ubuntu/
[21:55] <bugs> i was hoping on staying with xterm :)
[21:55] <bugs> it's the fastest one
[21:55] <bugs> and my machine is old
[22:05] <likemindead> Try a different font? I love Liberation Mono.

[22:28] <ConfusoFelice> no ideas?
[22:30] <Sysi> they may try to use different output
[22:30] <Sysi> try choosing pulseaudio from mixer, that's default for gnome iirc
[22:32] <Sysi> or if output can be chosen in programs settings
