[03:25] <Bevo> anyone running icewm
[04:11] <LucidFox> How do I configure external protocol handlers?
[04:12] <LucidFox> For example, I'd like apt: to use apturl.
[04:36] <LucidFox> I fixed it, more or less, by setting gnome-open as the browser in Preferred Applications, but it seems like a terrible hack
[04:57] <paulmops> Evening all, I have a question about setting up wifi.
[04:57] <paulmops> under normal vanilla ubuntu, my wifi works fine (after installing the driver).
[04:58] <paulmops> however, I just installed xubuntu, and everything goes well up until I install the driver.
[04:58] <paulmops> after which point, I'm unable to view any networks around me
[04:59] <paulmops> sad face :(
[05:29]  * j1mc hugs #xubuntu
[06:01] <_Techie_> does anyone in here have experience with the DuoX2 modchip?
[06:02] <_Techie_> whoops wrong chan
[06:03] <knome> ;)
[06:05] <_Techie_> wow nickserv is running slow tonight
[06:05] <_Techie_> only just got, -NickServ- This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify <password>.
[06:05] <knome> yeah. they're experiencing a ddos attack
[06:05] <_Techie_> fun fun
[06:06] <knome> yep :P
[06:16] <photobug21> hey I have to say I like xubuntu
[06:16] <photobug21> running it off my 8GB flash drive
[06:16] <_Techie_> grats, is it karmic that your running off of it
[06:17] <photobug21> yes
[06:17] <photobug21> thanks :)
[06:17] <_Techie_> i personaly was really put off using karmic on a USB
[06:18] <_Techie_> as the only way to get it booting perfectly on every pc is to make a persistant copy of the livecd
[06:18] <_Techie_> however karmic recreates the ubuntu user at boot, so any files i had on my drive were absolutely unprotected
[06:19] <photobug21> Oh try www.pendrivelinux.com
[06:19] <_Techie_> been there done that
[06:19] <photobug21> you need windows currently to make the live usb with persistence
[06:19] <photobug21> mine works
[06:19] <_Techie_> mine did too
[06:20] <photobug21> Ok I didn't understand hehe
[06:20] <_Techie_> well up untill i managed to brick my USB drive
[06:20] <photobug21> so by unprotected what do you mean?
[06:20] <photobug21> oh ok
[06:20] <photobug21> yeah I have to remember to backup
[06:20] <_Techie_> when i say unprotected, people could boot it and log in without a password
[06:20] <photobug21> I currently broke my apt-get when it froze and I hit reset
[06:20] <photobug21> have to boot into recovery in a bit and do repair broken packages
[06:20] <photobug21> Oh yeah
[06:21] <_Techie_> i had a jaunty install that was all passworded up perfectly
[06:21] <photobug21> so creating a user account, logging out and logging in doesn't work?
[06:21] <photobug21> it didn't so far
[06:21] <_Techie_> nope, it wont
[06:21] <_Techie_> i usually modify the default account
[06:21] <photobug21> Weird I tried Linux Mint 8 and it worked fine
[06:21] <photobug21> just wanted to try this it has a lightweight window manager
[06:22] <photobug21> that is a pain
[06:22] <photobug21> I want the user thing to work
[06:22] <photobug21> but otherwise it's faster than Linux Mint 8 since 8 uses Gnome
[06:22] <photobug21> and I've got a really old desktop
[06:23] <_Techie_> i want to try linux on my xbox sometime
[06:23] <photobug21> yeah that'd be nice
[06:24] <_Techie_> i already have a web browser for it
[06:24] <photobug21> I don't have an xbox right now
[06:24] <photobug21> cool
[06:24] <_Techie_> did you used to have one?
[06:25] <photobug21> nope
[06:25] <photobug21> never owned a console
[06:25] <photobug21> other than an old TI that took cartridges
[06:26] <photobug21> had an atari 2600 and radio shack pong
[06:26] <photobug21> shared it with siblings
[06:26] <photobug21> and sega genesis
[06:26] <photobug21> brb I have to reboot and repair these packages I need open office
[06:26] <photobug21> btw nice to meet you :)
[06:26] <_Techie_> same
[06:26] <photobug21> brb :)
[06:50] <photobug21> back

[20:34] <Sachse_Siechtum> Hello folks
[20:34] <photobug21> hi!
[20:34] <Sachse_Siechtum> I'm a new user in Xubuntu.
[20:34] <photobug21> It's nice
[20:34] <Sachse_Siechtum> Using Windows XP only for games now and Xubuntu for else :-)
[20:35] <Sachse_Siechtum> so...I have a problem with the login screen which kinda bothers me
[20:35] <Sachse_Siechtum> I have to login several times til I get to the desktop
[20:35] <Sachse_Siechtum> I read in one thread on the net that might be a problem with not using the def. resolution
[20:36] <photobug21> Yeah it's decent and that'll be fixed soon I bet
[20:36] <Sachse_Siechtum> but I don't wanna change the res. since I'm comfortable working with it
[20:36] <Sachse_Siechtum> hmm ok.
[20:37] <photobug21> Yeah if it works must not be wrong
[20:37] <Sachse_Siechtum> its just kinda annoying *laughs* once I had to login about 20 times...
[20:38] <Sachse_Siechtum> but other than that I really like Xubuntu :-)
[20:39] <Sachse_Siechtum> ok fixing meal...cu later
[20:40] <photobug21> oh man right now trying linux mint, my xubuntu on flash drive got borked
[20:40] <photobug21> same thing but xubuntu is faster
[20:40] <photobug21> lightweight window manager
[20:40] <Siechtum_away> I see
[20:40] <photobug21> Linux Mint 8 is based on ubuntu
[20:40] <photobug21> but I want xubuntu for my flash drive
[20:41] <photobug21> works on more hardware
[20:43] <Siechtum_away> I bet
[20:44] <Siechtum_away> hmm I was wondering...whats the main difference between xubuntu and Kubuntu? (except based on Gnome and KDE)
[20:44] <Siechtum_away> or differences
[20:45] <photobug21> Xubuntu is actually XFCE but not much diff I guess
[20:45] <photobug21> Not sure
[20:45] <photobug21> I never read their faq
[20:45] <Siechtum_away> I just read the wiki entry on both
[20:46] <Siechtum_away> so do you use Linux distros also for gaming?
[20:46] <photobug21> Nope but used to with cedega
[20:47] <photobug21> my nvidia card broke
[20:47] <photobug21> I have a super old ATI in this now
[20:47] <Siechtum_away> that sucks.
[20:47] <Siechtum_away> oh thats funny...some month ago my old ATI Radeon card broke...I got an nvidia card now
[20:47] <photobug21> yeah hehe I don't enjoy gaming so much now
[20:47] <photobug21> I do like photography though
[20:47] <Siechtum_away> oh I do too
[20:48] <Siechtum_away> I really need some good photo equipment
[20:48] <photobug21> You can use a point and shoot to take good photos
[20:48] <photobug21> check out my flickr I have a low end Nikon
[20:48] <photobug21> http://www.flickr.com/sunlizard4sun
