| jar | Has anyone noticed that the categories in Add/Remove Applications has no icons? | 01:40 |
| likemindead | Nope. I use "sudo apt-get install XXX" etc. | 01:41 |
| jar | You should really use aptitutde if you're going CLI | 01:42 |
| Uuu | Any reasons? | 01:42 |
| jar | More features and smarter. | 01:43 |
| Uuu | only for searching imo ;) | 01:43 |
| likemindead | I'm with Uuu. | 01:43 |
| jar | I just realize I'm in unregged. | 01:43 |

| jar | installing evolution & banshee = exactly 100 packages. | 01:52 |

| keppi | hi | 02:51 |
| keppi | does anyone know where xorg.conf is in xubuntu? | 02:52 |
| Uuu | keppi: new Xorg doesn't need xorg.conf, but you may create it in its normal path: /etc/X11/xorg.conf. | 02:59 |
| keppi | Uuu: Thanks. I enabled desktop compositing and my screen got scrambled. Ended up reinstalling :( | 03:04 |
| Uuu | ouch | 03:05 |
| owen1 | how do you guys organize all the config for the different apps you are using? is it all in .config folder? | 04:23 |
| _Pete_ | why those need to be organized in the first place? | 05:31 |

| computer | hi, how do i enable remote desktop? i cant seem to find it. all i see is remote desktop view | 05:37 |
| computer | does it not come with xubuntu? | 05:38 |
| _Pete_ | computer: I recommend using freenx for remote desktop: fast & secure | 05:39 |
| computer | does xubuntu not come with remote desktop? | 05:40 |
| computer | this sucks! does not come with remote desktop? | 05:41 |
| computer | ubuntu comes with ti! why not xubuntu? | 05:42 |
| _Pete_ | because you can install it one line apt-get? | 05:42 |
| _Pete_ | if really needed | 05:42 |
| computer | sudo apt-get install remote desktop | 05:44 |
| computer | ? | 05:44 |

| FANDER | hi guys, I have the microphone sound is too slow. I went to Sound preferences and I set the microphone to the maximum but the sound is still slow. I tried my headphone on another Ubuntu machine, and the sound was excellent | 14:26 |
| FANDER | I'm using a laptop | 14:26 |
| FANDER | what could be the problem? | 14:26 |
| subspider | fander what is your sound card | 14:55 |
| subspider | ?? | 14:55 |
| FANDER | subspider: I guess it's Intel | 14:55 |
| FANDER | subspider: I had Crunchbang Linux 9.04 previously and It was perfect | 14:55 |
| subspider | strange | 14:56 |
| subspider | i have an intel too and it works perfect on skype | 14:56 |
| FANDER | yeah I want to use it with Skype also | 14:58 |
| FANDER | subspider: it worked perfectly with Crunchbanf | 14:59 |
| FANDER | *#! | 14:59 |
| wrgb | FANDER: in System Settings > Multimedia what is the order of your sound devices under communication - is pulse audio or intel card first in the list? | 15:02 |
| FANDER | wrgb: there's no Multimedia in System or Settings | 15:05 |
| FANDER | I have xubuntu 9.10 | 15:05 |
| FANDER | but I went to Mulitmedia>Mixer and the device was Intel | 15:06 |
| wrgb | sorry i'm in KDE mode right now, hang on a sec | 15:06 |
| FANDER | ok | 15:06 |
| FANDER | Barbican1: Live your life | 15:07 |
| wrgb | FANDER: do you have any other options in the dropdown list - if so try changing it | 15:08 |
| FANDER | wrgb: I have "analog" something | 15:08 |
| FANDER | wrgb: my laptop is far | 15:08 |
| FANDER | and my sister is using it no | 15:08 |
| FANDER | now | 15:08 |
| FANDER | I'm using my desktop now | 15:09 |
| wrgb | FANDER: I see, well when you get back to it try selecting that in the list under Capture and see if that helps - I have two devices to choose from and one works better than the other | 15:10 |
| FANDER | ok | 15:11 |
| subspider | betenoire to lock my session i do ctrl+ alt+ del | 15:29 |
| postafflatus | hello could I get some assistance with Xubuntu 9.10 on ASUS eee PC 1005HA? | 16:57 |
| Sysi | what's your problem? | 16:58 |
| postafflatus | its quite simple I just want to make my power button (the physical one on top of the keyboard) to send my OS to SHUT DOWN instead of LOG OFF or ask me what to do, I tried to set it in POWER MANAGER menu but it doesn't seem to work | 16:59 |
| postafflatus | maybe theres some command line specific code? | 17:01 |
| Sysi | hmm, i haven't tried that in my own one | 17:01 |
| postafflatus | maybe I should just make a keyboard short cut? | 17:02 |
| Sysi | do other options work? | 17:02 |
| Sysi | i have exactly same machine and powerbutton gives selection window because i want :) | 17:03 |
| postafflatus | like hibernation? | 17:03 |
| postafflatus | yes | 17:04 |
| Sysi | for exaple | 17:04 |
| postafflatus | yeah | 17:04 |
| postafflatus | btw is BACKPORT and UNRELEASED software updates are good for general use or I should use ONLY OFFICIALLY supported ones? | 17:07 |
| postafflatus | I of coarse set up medibuntu as repository | 17:08 |

| Benkinooby | hi, started c++ programming in kdevelop. how can i debug my programs? what do i have to do, to make my progam debugable and do i need to use "projects" for this? | 20:10 |
| _Pete_ | Benkinooby: look for compiler options | 20:10 |
| Benkinooby | the options when i run g++ command in terminal? | 20:11 |
| _Pete_ | no | 20:11 |
| _Pete_ | the one you compile your program | 20:11 |
| _Pete_ | sorry | 20:11 |
| _Pete_ | yes | 20:12 |
| _Pete_ | that one you asked | 20:12 |
| Benkinooby | it's g++ -g | 20:12 |
| _Pete_ | then it's compiled with debug-info | 20:12 |
| Benkinooby | i did so... i don't know anything about programming or debugging, so this why many things confuse me. they are also saying something about "make" | 20:13 |
| Benkinooby | g++ -g is compulsory for debugging i guess | 20:13 |
| _Pete_ | what are you trying to do? | 20:13 |
| Benkinooby | i have a c++ programm, which is using recursion funktions... now i want to see step by step what the program does.... | 20:14 |
| Benkinooby | recursive | 20:14 |
| _Pete_ | ok | 20:14 |
| _Pete_ | and the reason for this is programming learning ? | 20:14 |
| Benkinooby | yep.. i have to program for school... but to follow my recursive funktions in my mind is a little bit to much... if i could see what steps my progam makes it would be easier | 20:16 |
| _Pete_ | I understand that very well | 20:16 |
| _Pete_ | but dont know how to do that with c++ | 20:17 |
| _Pete_ | visually | 20:17 |
| Benkinooby | yes | 20:17 |
| _Pete_ | gdb always works | 20:17 |
| _Pete_ | if binaries are compiled with debug | 20:17 |
| Benkinooby | i was also thinking about using an other debugger but kdevelop is also doing the work i guess... but if it takes to much effort i will use gdb | 20:18 |
| _Pete_ | anyway, if you are programmer, and linx | 20:18 |
| _Pete_ | hmm | 20:18 |
| _Pete_ | well if you ask me | 20:18 |
| _Pete_ | learning gdb is best | 20:18 |
| Benkinooby | i allready installed it :D | 20:19 |
| _Pete_ | right | 20:19 |
| Benkinooby | so just compile programm with -g option and it's done?.... i'm trying | 20:19 |
| _Pete_ | I only know basics of that | 20:19 |
| _Pete_ | then instead running your prg like: ./my_crash_hero | 20:20 |
| _Pete_ | do : gdb my_crash_hero | 20:20 |
| _Pete_ | then when then prompt comes | 20:20 |
| _Pete_ | type: run | 20:20 |
| _Pete_ | and when/if it crashes | 20:21 |
| _Pete_ | bt = backtrace | 20:21 |
| Benkinooby | so far it worked... i was using a very simple prog for testing.... bt gives me "No Stack" | 20:22 |
| _Pete_ | that means "I guess" it has no needed debug compiled in | 20:23 |
| Benkinooby | i gues so too | 20:23 |
| _Pete_ | if you want "all time debug" you need all libs compiled with debug | 20:23 |
| Benkinooby | it's just cout and cin :P now i'm going with my "real" prog | 20:24 |
| _Pete_ | well | 20:24 |
| _Pete_ | easy to narrow the problem then? | 20:25 |
| Benkinooby | ah... there is no problem... i just wanted to see how it works... so in case there is a problem, i know how to solve | 20:25 |
| Benkinooby | i was hoping i could see the source code and see which command is active.... | 20:26 |
| _Pete_ | sounds like you come from Java? | 20:27 |
| Benkinooby | i come from DAU ;P | 20:27 |
| _Pete_ | whats that? | 20:27 |
| Benkinooby | absolute noob user | 20:27 |
| _Pete_ | dont think so | 20:27 |
| Benkinooby | oh, sorry german expression | 20:27 |
| Benkinooby | (most stupid user expectable) | 20:28 |
| _Pete_ | If you truly were so | 20:28 |
| _Pete_ | you didnt know nothing about debuging | 20:28 |
| Benkinooby | in school the tell me... but i only get half :( | 20:28 |
| Benkinooby | i saw someone "jumping" through his source code, like it would be running | 20:29 |
| Benkinooby | to see step by step the procedure | 20:29 |
| Benkinooby | but i was not able to speak to him | 20:29 |
| Benkinooby | and also that i am looking for help here indicates that i am at end of my knowledge | 20:30 |
| Benkinooby | now i on youtube for some howto.... | 20:32 |
| _Pete_ | you can do that with gdn | 20:33 |
| _Pete_ | gdb | 20:33 |
| _Pete_ | not very GFX | 20:34 |
| _Pete_ | but true | 20:34 |
| Benkinooby | if i watch video's about debugging, they all use projects | 20:35 |
| Benkinooby | what is the use of it? until no i just create .cpp files and compile. | 20:36 |
| Benkinooby | maybe i'll go for the kdevelop irc (there sould be one) | 20:39 |
| Benkinooby | there are may features i don't understand :D | 20:39 |
| Benkinooby | thank you pete for time, patience and answers :) | 20:39 |
| _Pete_ | np | 20:40 |
| _Pete_ | tell me how you proceed | 20:40 |
| Benkinooby | i will... jsut noticed that this is xubuntu irc and not kubuntu :P | 20:42 |
| Sahkolihaa | With the amount of different names there are, don't be surprised. :P | 20:42 |

| ESphynx | hey guys, what's the best thing to install on an EEE PC with only 2GB of HD? Is it Xeebuntu ? | 21:34 |
| Tonno | how can I change the driver of my Graphic Card | 21:35 |
| likemindead | That's rough, ESphynx. So little room. :-\ | 21:36 |
| likemindead | !drivers | 21:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about drivers | 21:36 |
| likemindead | Hmm. You can do it via CLI, Synaptic, or the Hardware Drivers GUI, depending on what it is, Tonno. | 21:37 |
| ESphynx | in my own personal opinion it's distros that became too bloated | 21:38 |
| Sysi | then use DSL | 21:39 |
| Sysi | not bloated | 21:39 |
| likemindead | Yup. Or Puppy. Or Slax. Or.... | 21:39 |
| likemindead | Different distros have different goals/purposes. | 21:39 |
| ESphynx | hehe, this is just me talking... I'm installing this for a friend so | 21:39 |
| ESphynx | I need something user friendly | 21:39 |
| Sysi | you can't get everything | 21:40 |
| ESphynx | my personal goal is to write my own light DE :P | 21:40 |
| ESphynx | So I heard of this Xeebuntu, you guys know about that? | 21:40 |
| Sysi | lubuntu is small | 21:40 |
| likemindead | Nope. I installed Mint 7 on my boss's EeePC, but it had a 160GB hdd. :- | 21:41 |
| ESphynx | I also have the CD that comes with the thing | 21:41 |
| ESphynx | I guess I could give that a try :P | 21:41 |
| __Hokan__ | think about that | 21:43 |
| ESphynx | Oh so it's named eeeXubuntu | 21:46 |
| _Pete_ | !fail failure? | 21:46 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fail failure? | 21:46 |

| _Pete_ | !fail | 21:46 |
| __Hokan__ | Success -->> ab fdsfdfsfdf sffsdsdfsdc | 21:46 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fail | 21:46 |
| _Pete_ | !quit | 21:47 |

| jdratlif | I just installed xubuntu last week. I ran sudo apt-get update (or was it upgrade). When I logged out, the mouse/keyboard wouldn't respond | 21:55 |
| jdratlif | When I reboot, it appears to start normally, but then the keyboard/mouse/display goes dark | 21:55 |
| jdratlif | Maybe this is a hal/dbus issue, but i'm not sure. | 21:56 |
| jdratlif | i can login via ssh, and use vncserver, but the local console it useless. | 21:57 |
| jdratlif | Any idea why this is happening, or how I can fix it? | 21:57 |
| likemindead | Running 9.10, jdratlif? | 21:58 |
| jdratlif | yes, it's 9.10 | 21:58 |
| likemindead | I'd go ahead and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" then reboot. See if that helps. | 21:58 |
| likemindead | Karmic still has some bumpy patches. :-\ | 21:59 |
| likemindead | It's best to stick with the LTS release for more stability. | 21:59 |
| jdratlif | nothing to update it says. no change in status | 22:02 |
| computer | what should i use for my ipod to work? | 22:09 |
| jdratlif | i guess i'll look for something that works | 22:22 |
