| Zimm3r | For a wireless card (Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN MiniCard) is there a place I can look up if it works out of the box (also it requires a hotkey to turn on (Fn - F2) that does not seem to work in Xubuntu), what do I need to do to get it working? | 03:08 |
| Zimm3r | The card worked in Ubuntu but I wanted something lighter | 03:10 |
| babarosa | Hello! I have problems using Xubuntu v9.10 and remastersys - it only creates a fone working LiveCD BUT without any installation possibilities (icon, menu, ...). The programmer of remastersys answered my question with, "Something must be missing from Xubuntu then. Check and see if they created their own installer in Synaptic and if they did, just install it and try again." | 03:16 |
| babarosa | Do you have ideas what could be missing? | 03:17 |
| babarosa | I opened a thread in ubuntuforums.org "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1354458". Maybe you can post an answer there, i Have to leave you now. Thanks in advance! | 03:46 |
| cebosound | hello | 03:49 |
| cebosound | can someone please tell me how to make other applications as icons in my main window. | 03:50 |
| cebosound | i want to put the google icon and ap where the firefox icon/ap is... | 04:06 |
| cebosound | anyone...? | 04:06 |
| Venim | right click | 04:06 |
| Venim | and choose either add a launcer | 04:07 |
| Venim | or change the properties of the default firefox launcher | 04:07 |
| cebosound | i opened aplications>network>google (then i right clicked google...only opened the browser. then tried to drag it to the desktop...didn't work either. | 04:08 |
| cebosound | i just want to make it easier accessable then going to the menu | 04:09 |
| Venim | do what i just said | 04:09 |
| Venim | a launcher is a shortcut to an application | 04:09 |
| cebosound | right click where? | 04:10 |
| Venim | where the firefox logo is | 04:10 |
| Venim | where you want the icon | 04:10 |
| cebosound | okay, i'll try | 04:10 |
| cebosound | okay i right clicked in the top panel and clicked add new items. there are many items there, but not google chrome. (that is cool though) | 04:12 |
| Venim | launcher | 04:13 |
| cebosound | i would like to put the icon in the top panel. and possibly remove fire fox. | 04:13 |
| Venim | that's what you need | 04:13 |
| Venim | ok | 04:13 |
| Venim | well then right click on the firefox icon | 04:13 |
| Venim | and click properties | 04:13 |
| cebosound | there is quick launcher and launcher... whats the difference? | 04:13 |
| Venim | launcher is an individual shortcut | 04:14 |
| cebosound | okay | 04:14 |
| Venim | quicklauncher has a bunch of launchers | 04:14 |
| Venim | did you get to the properties of the launcher? | 04:14 |
| cebosound | yeah, i am in the properties. tryin to find google chrome, and/or icon | 04:15 |
| Venim | well the icon isn't in the default directory | 04:16 |
| Venim | but for the command | 04:16 |
| Venim | just type "google-chrome" (w/o quotes) | 04:16 |
| cebosound | k. found google-chrome. working directory? run in terminal? use startup notification? | 04:18 |
| cebosound | If i want the actual google chrome icon... i am going to have to use some program to make it probably right? | 04:19 |
| Venim | none | 04:19 |
| Venim | don't need anything there | 04:19 |
| Venim | you can probably find the icon in the internet | 04:19 |
| cebosound | if i put the working directory as desktop, will it put it in the desk top... it defaulted as "cebosound" | 04:20 |
| cebosound | so i am guessing... that's like "my documents" | 04:20 |
| cebosound | pardon my comparisons to windows. :) | 04:20 |
| Venim | no | 04:21 |
| Venim | there's no need for a working directory | 04:21 |
| Venim | o | 04:21 |
| Venim | but youc an just leave it as your home folder | 04:21 |
| Venim | which is the default | 04:21 |
| cebosound | okay. ... yeah i have to have something there. i can just leave it as "cebosound". that was defaulted. | 04:22 |
| cebosound | sweet the icon worked... i made the icon a world/globe for now. i will try to get the actual google chrome icon later online | 04:24 |
| cebosound | Thanks for your help Venim. I can see how easy that should have been. | 04:25 |
| cebosound | looks like i can just "right click" on the desktop also ... and just create a new launcher, etc. | 04:26 |
| MaxFrames | hello | 10:08 |
| MaxFrames | does syslog keep by default a log of successfully sent messages, and how do I read it? | 10:09 |
| MaxFrames | I've set up arpwatch but I am not receving messages, I want to make sure if it is sending me emails at all | 10:09 |
| ablomen | MaxFrames, what do you/does arpwatch use to send the e-mails? | 10:26 |
| ablomen | sendmail should put logs of everything in /var/log/mail.log and exim in /var/log/exim/mainlog | 10:27 |
| MaxFrames | I am using sendmail | 10:29 |
| MaxFrames | I didn't touch the default sendmail config file, so it should be logging sent messages | 10:29 |
| MaxFrames | ok, found the logs in /var/log/mail.log | 10:31 |
| ablomen | otherwise try sending an email with sendmail -f to see if its even capable of sending mail | 10:31 |
| MaxFrames | thanks | 10:31 |
| ablomen | np :) | 10:31 |
| MaxFrames | it seems that the recipient's server is refusing the connection, I'm looking at the logs to figure out why | 10:32 |
| MaxFrames | I think the problem is that the sender address is arpwatch@myhostname.mydomain.it, and the recipient server doesn't know the "myhostname.mydomain.it" domain, of course, so it's refusing the connection | 10:35 |
| MaxFrames | I need to know how to configure sendmail to use a different sender address, like simply "arpwatch@mydomain.it" | 10:35 |
| ablomen | well you can just edit from tag to that, but if it wants to do a reverse lookup you will have to add a reverse lookup to the dns | 10:40 |
| ablomen | ehm or to the ip of your server, not really sure actually, i just have a input field with my hosting company to do this ;) | 10:43 |
| MaxFrames | unfortunately I don't manage the corporate DNS | 10:43 |
| MaxFrames | I only manage a small subnet, and I need an arpwatch daemon to notify me if some MAC/IP address matching changes | 10:44 |
| MaxFrames | in order to be notified by email, I need sendmail on the arpwatch host | 10:44 |
| MaxFrames | and the arpwatch host is not registered in our DNS! | 10:44 |
| MaxFrames | all this is just for internal purposes, I don't want nor need to register a host in the DNS, if just there was a quick fix for this scenario... | 10:45 |
| ablomen | dont you have a gmail adress or something? thats the quickest fix, you can send anything that remotly looks like an email to gmail and it will accept it | 10:46 |
| ablomen | but thats only i quick and dirty fix obviously | 10:46 |
| MaxFrames | yes, though I'd prefer to send it to my corporate email address | 10:47 |
| ablomen | otherwise you might want to try changing the from tag and using your corporate smtp server to send it, not sure if that will work but its the only thing i can think of | 10:47 |
| MaxFrames | isn't there a way to configure sendmail so that it used @mydomain.it instead of @myhost.mydomain.it? | 10:48 |
| ablomen | might be, but i'd ask in #sendmail or something, my knowledge (on this) is very limited | 10:48 |
| MaxFrames | ok, I'll try there, thanks | 10:49 |
| ablomen | np, good luck (im not sure if #sendmail actually exists btw, but they must have irc somewhere) | 10:50 |

| vidd | how does one disable the graphical login screen in favor of the text login screen? | 14:13 |
| knome | vidd, sudo apt-get remove gdm | 14:15 |
| vidd | knome, i want the desktop.... | 14:15 |
| knome | vidd, ->startx | 14:16 |

| vidd | where is this in 9.10? | 14:17 |
| knome | no idea. | 14:17 |
| knome | the new gdm isn't the best option anyway. | 14:17 |
| vidd | then why are we using it? | 14:18 |
| knome | there's no other option | 14:18 |

| djura-san | o/ | 14:24 |
| nwadawg | hi all | 14:28 |
| djura-san | o/ | 14:28 |
| nwadawg | I am really liking xubuntu | 14:30 |
| djura-san | yeah its good (and repos are superB) | 14:30 |
| nwadawg | I'm coming from openbox, xfce is a little heavier, but not too much | 14:32 |
| djura-san | comparing to openbox, xfce is a hog ;) | 14:33 |
| nwadawg | my ob booted on 94mb, xfce booots on 115 | 14:34 |
| dunix | Fluxbox ftw :D | 14:35 |
| rr73 | can we talk about alpha here or is that -dev? | 16:39 |
| knome | rr73, actually #ubuntu+1, but depends much on the subject | 16:40 |
| rr73 | just booting it is giving me problems on my laptop, the screen sontinously flickers and is dim | 16:41 |
| rr73 | *continously | 16:41 |
| rr73 | i have checked the intgrity of disc via the option in the menu and it says it is fine, barely visable though | 16:41 |
| knome | okay, that sounds like a subject for #ubuntu+1 ;) | 16:42 |
| rr73 | knome~ will ask there later, off to lunch. thank you for reminding me the +1 channel. | 16:42 |
| knome | np, bon appetit | 16:42 |
| rr73 | so you watch xubuntu but not xubuntu-devel knome :-P | 16:42 |
| knome | i watch both, how so? | 16:42 |
| knome | the last time you asked something there it was 4am here in finland ;) | 16:43 |
| knome | so probably not answering at that time... :) | 16:43 |
| Bart_KSC | Hi, I wanted a up to date, debian based linux desktop with mainly XFCE, but I also want to be able to try other desktops. | 18:14 |
| Bart_KSC | Someone at the debian IRC recommended a *buntu, and this one seemed logical | 18:15 |
| Bart_KSC | but what's the difference between xubunu and using Xfce on ubuntu or kubuntu? | 18:16 |
| TheSheep | !hi | Bart_KSC | 18:16 |
| ubottu | Bart_KSC: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 18:16 |
| Bart_KSC | Ah, the frequently asked questions... Sorry I didn't look there, it's been a long day | 18:18 |
| TheSheep | sorry, I typed that before you asked the question | 18:20 |
| TheSheep | I figured you didn't know what to do :) | 18:20 |
| TheSheep | that basic difference between ubuntu and xubuntu is that xubuntu doesn't have the gnome desktop installed, it uses xfce instead (but configured by default to look similar to the gnome desktop) and also has a different set of applications installed by default. You can still install and use anything from the ubuntu repositories, including gnome and kde desktops, of course. | 18:21 |
| TheSheep | so the difference is mostly in what is installed by default | 18:22 |
| Bart_KSC | Okay, another question. The computer I wan't too use won't have internet, at least for a while. Is there anywhere I can get a DVD with more software that includes Xubuntu? | 18:22 |
| Bart_KSC | without buying it | 18:22 |
| Bart_KSC | the plan was to install it tonight | 18:23 |
| TheSheep | I think there is an ubuntu dvd, not sure | 18:24 |
| Bart_KSC | My problem is I can't find it on the site :P | 18:25 |
| Bart_KSC | I guess I should ask in #ubuntu | 18:25 |
| TheSheep | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/ | 18:25 |
| TheSheep | oh, sorry | 18:25 |
| TheSheep | that;s the development version | 18:26 |
| TheSheep | hmm... | 18:26 |
| TheSheep | !dvd | 18:26 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 18:26 |
| TheSheep | nope | 18:26 |
| Bart_KSC | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/non-ports/releases/9.10/release/ | 18:28 |
| Bart_KSC | found it | 18:28 |
| Bart_KSC | (I think) | 18:28 |
| kn100 | My volume control + brightness buttons work in vanilla ubuntu but not in xubuntu | 19:56 |
| kn100 | any idea how I can make it work in xubuntu | 19:56 |
| Bart_KSC | I've got ubuntu, how can I install xubuntu? | 20:24 |
| knome | Bart_KSC, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 20:24 |
| Bart_KSC | sorry | 20:24 |
| knome | Bart_KSC, type that into a terminal and hit enter, or find the package 'xubuntu-desktop' in synaptic and install | 20:25 |
| Bart_KSC | I was using synaptic, and neither searching for xubuntu or xfce found anything | 20:25 |
| likemindead | But it's never quite the same as a fresh Xubuntu install... | 20:25 |
| Bart_KSC | wat's the difference? | 20:25 |
| likemindead | Uh... it should definitely be in Synaptic. | 20:25 |
| Bart_KSC | Yeah, I found it by scrolling | 20:25 |
| Bart_KSC | but what's the difference? | 20:26 |
| knome | Bart_KSC, you still have the ubuntu packages | 20:26 |
| knome | !purexfce | Bart_KSC | 20:26 |
| ubottu | Bart_KSC: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 20:26 |
| likemindead | If you install the xubuntu-desktop package on top of an Ubuntu install, there's some slight bugginess in menus and such. | 20:26 |
| likemindead | At least in my experience. | 20:26 |
| likemindead | It's always a bit... off. | 20:26 |
| Bart_KSC | I'll remember that. If I have any problems i'll change the one I use. | 20:27 |
| Traveler | hi guys | 20:28 |

| djura-san | so i have unusual question: | 21:59 |
| djura-san | i love option in programs that disables multiple instances | 22:00 |
| djura-san | but some apps comes without that option (to turn off multiple instances) | 22:01 |
| djura-san | *come | 22:01 |
| djura-san | so i was wondering is there gui app that will allow that? TO create list of apps that will disable multiple instances? | 22:01 |
| knome | well, basically you could write a script which checks if that app exists (by greping 'ps' output or by using wmctrl) and then only run the app if it's not running | 22:01 |
| djura-san | i know | 22:02 |
| djura-san | i have one script that do that | 22:02 |
| djura-san | but | 22:02 |
| djura-san | i was thining about gui app. Maybe with daemon!? Is there any | 22:02 |
| knome | i don't know | 22:02 |
| djura-san | example: today i saw that my mom started 3 instances of xchat and i hate that | 22:03 |
| djura-san | i use only thunar in multiple instances | 22:03 |
| djura-san | huh | 22:03 |
| knome | hah | 22:04 |
| djura-san | i should use "run in terminal" option for all my panel apps | 22:04 |
| djura-san | if anyone want that script wisiti this: | 22:04 |
| djura-san | http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Autostart | 22:04 |
| djura-san | there is one section about that | 22:04 |
