[00:15] <oorah> hey emma
[01:01] <Guest62199> how do I install my webcam?
[01:02] <Guest62199> ?
[01:03] <knome> !webcam
[01:10] <knome> hmm, a "thanks" here and there wouldn't hurt...
[02:15] <neiliob1973> question...am i correct in assuming I need xubuntu 64-bit to use my extra 2GB's of RAM from Santa?  Any conflicts or other down-sides to 64-bit?
[02:18] <knome> neiliob1973, 64-bit is pretty stable nowadays. i've used 64-bit for ages.
[02:18] <neiliob1973> but required to recognize extra RAM?
[02:18] <knome> i think the limit for i386 is 4GB
[02:19] <knome> i'm not sure though
[02:19] <neiliob1973> well, it ain't seeing it yet. LOL
[02:19] <knome> yeah, that's the limit
[02:19] <neiliob1973> is there any 32-to-64 upgrade, or just fresh install?
[02:19] <knome> you have to do a fresh install
[02:20] <neiliob1973> yeah, that's what I just KNEW you'd say.  THNX!!!!
[02:20] <neiliob1973> get to backin' up. now
[02:20] <knome> np. have fun with the new ram ;)
[02:40] <n2diy> isn't emacs part of the default install?
[02:45] <knome> i suppose not
[02:46] <knome> why should it be?
[03:01] <oorah> hey just installed chrome browser today, it rocks :)
[03:01] <nwadawg> I installed it a few days back, yes it rocks
[03:03] <oorah> the only negative is no way to set a home page and no arrows on the scrollbar
[03:04] <nwadawg> yes you can set home page
[03:04] <oorah> nwadawg, how?
[03:05] <nwadawg> options/basic/home page
[03:06] <nwadawg> http://omploader.org/vMzI3dQ
[03:09] <oorah> oh ok thanks nwadawg
[03:09] <oorah> is there a way to put arrows on the scrollbar?
[03:09] <nwadawg> let me look
[03:12] <nwadawg> oorah: sry couldn't find anything
[03:12] <oorah> nwadawg, its ok
[03:12] <oorah> nwadawg, do you know how to go to homepage from another page?
[03:13] <nwadawg> you got a bookmark toolbar?
[03:14] <oorah> nwadawg, no i don't
[03:15] <nwadawg> in settings check show bookmark bar
[03:16] <oorah> oh ok thanks
[03:16] <nwadawg> np
[03:17] <oorah> seems a lot faster than firefox, epiphany, midori, etc
[03:17] <nwadawg> it is, I'm happy with it
[03:17] <nwadawg> so much, I uninstalled firefox
[03:17] <oorah> i wonder when chrome os comes out?
[03:17] <oorah> me too
[03:19] <nwadawg> I'm really liking xfce, I'm coming from opnbox
[03:19] <oorah> xfce is great
[03:19] <oorah> lack of gui menu customizing, but i prefer the speed
[03:20] <oorah> hope chrome browser doesn't get lots of add ons, thats what makes fast browsers slow down over time
[03:22] <nwadawg> I cut my panel down to menu & desktop switcher, added most of my openbox scripts, right great now
[03:25] <oorah> i haven't used openbox
[03:25] <nwadawg> http://omploader.org/vMzI3dw current desktop
[03:26] <oorah> looks dark
[03:26] <nwadawg> not too dark
[03:27] <__Techie__> oorah, openbox isnt reccomended for the regular user, however it is perfect for someone who wants a clean minimalist desktop
[03:28] <oorah> http://s455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/Knuckle_Brawler/?action=view&current=mysetup.png&newest=1 and http://s455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/Knuckle_Brawler/?action=view&current=87999-matrix_ubuntu_wallpape2.jpg&newest=1 are a couple shots of what i had recently, went back to default theme though
[03:28] <nwadawg> nice
[03:29] <oorah> now i'm using default theme with jmak wallpaper
[03:29] <oorah> i like the black and bright green look
[03:30] <oorah> i'm using Lucid alpha right now
[03:30] <nwadawg> you like it?
[03:30] <oorah> its actually better than karmic for my system, bad bugs in karmic
[03:31] <oorah> yes very much, actually more stable. karmic has been bad on netbooks
[03:31] <oorah> its not perfect, but the minor bugs are hardly noticeable
[03:31] <nwadawg> I may dl it and give it a spin
[03:32] <oorah> i try out alphas so i can look for bugs to report. this is only the 2nd time i've used an alpha as my primary system though
[03:33] <oorah> the other time was with i don't remember, it was 8.10 or 8.04 when the first update broke my system.
[03:33] <nwadawg> I'm running karmic xfce, Madbox on spare laptop
[03:33] <oorah> its weird how a regular update can wreck a computer
[03:33] <oorah> whats madbox?
[03:33] <nwadawg> took a look at ZevenOS
[03:33] <nwadawg> madbox is a custom 9.10 xfce
[03:37] <oorah> oh i see
[03:37] <oorah> is it LTS based?
[03:37] <oorah> i mean based on the LTS releases?
[03:37] <nwadawg> http://www.ad-comp.be/
[03:38] <nwadawg> translate from french
[03:39] <nwadawg> his own spin on xubuntu
[03:40] <oorah> oh ok
[03:44] <oorah> i watched seinfeld last night, it was the festivus episode lol
[04:13] <oorah> nwadawg, i'm back
[04:13] <oorah> i just thought of somethin funny
[04:14] <oorah> nwadawg, imagine running openbox on an apple. the one click would be annoying, how would anything get done? lol
[04:14] <nwadawg> lol
[04:15] <oorah> i'm sure one of the unused keyboard keys would come into play
[04:15] <oorah> like the super key
[04:16] <oorah> speaking of which, i took a kitchen knife tip and scratched off the windows logo from the super key
[04:16] <nwadawg> I painted over mine
[04:19] <oorah> nwadawg, what did you paint?
[04:20] <_Techie_> i need help
[04:20] <nwadawg> windows key
[04:20] <oorah> oh did you know the dell Ubuntu pre installed netbooks have the windows logo on the super key? thats weird lol
[04:20] <_Techie_> badly ubuntu wont detect my mouse for ages
[04:20] <oorah> nwadawg, i meant what did you paint on it?

[04:21] <oorah> i know with karmic one of the bugs on my system were usb devices not mounted most the time
[04:21] <_Techie_> but it takes ages to initalise
[04:21] <_Techie_> over 10 minutes
[04:22] <oorah> on some systems there's a bug with usb devices
[04:22] <oorah> hey yall gotta go to sleep

[04:56] <neiliob1973> just installed xubuntu 9.10 (64-bit), but still only shows 2GB of RAM when I have 4GB installed
[04:56] <neiliob1973> ??
[04:57] <_Techie_> this is the RAM you got from santa?
[04:57] <neiliob1973> yepper...Kingston DDR2, 2GB
[04:58] <_Techie_> hrmm, i think santa has come up with a better punishment than coal =p
[04:58] <neiliob1973> what Toshiba recommended (same as original 2GB card)
[04:58] <neiliob1973> even swapped slots, made no difference
[04:58] <neiliob1973> ?!!?!?!?!?
[05:01] <_Techie_> does the motherboard support more than 2GB
[05:02] <neiliob1973> yes. up to 4GB
[05:53] <ImJJames> sup sexy xubuntu users
[05:53] <ImJJames> tem > Preferences > Appearance, set Visual Effects to 'none'.

[05:53] <ImJJames> xubuntu
[05:56] <ImJJames> anyone alive
[05:56] <ImJJames> out of 52...

[07:46] <raevol> hey guys, my xubuntu seems to not want to properly unmount usb drives
[07:47] <raevol> i notice gnome-volume-manager is not installed, was that taken out as a dependency in 9.10?
[10:42] <flix> _Techie_: I missed your answer to my question yesterday, do you have time?
[10:43] <_Techie_> which question was this?
[10:43] <flix> i am missing my windowbuttons when I max a window
[10:43] <_Techie_> oh yeah
[10:43] <_Techie_> are your title bars visible?
[10:44] <flix> no they aren't, its the titlebar of the window underneath or the desktop
[10:45] <Sysi> clean installation?
[10:45] <Sysi> mine did that after installing xfce to UNR
[10:45] <_Techie_> that rules out my theory
[10:46] <flix> yeah thats exactly my situation
[10:46] <flix> i tried unr but didn't like it
[10:46] <flix> how did you fix it?
[10:47] <Sysi> apt-get remove maximus
[10:47] <Sysi> rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions/
[10:47] <Sysi> log out and in
[10:48] <flix> i'll try and be back in 5
[10:48] <Sysi> and don't save session ofc
[10:51] <flix> wohoo, that worked
[10:51] <flix> thank you very much
[10:52] <Sysi> np
[10:53] <flix> after I read the package description it is clear why that leaves to a problem
[10:54] <flix> i thought of anything from xfce to buggy drivers but another windowmgr was beyond my believe
[10:54] <flix> -leaves +leads
[14:39] <crlsktr> any recomendation for a good game?
[14:39] <Ov3rf10w> hmmm...
[14:43] <Ov3rf10w> crlsktr, Glest is a good strategy game with 3D graphics
[14:43] <crlsktr> thanks dude
[14:44] <Ov3rf10w> you can find it in add/remove or synaptics
[14:45] <crlsktr> thanks see ya

[21:50] <mdt> Hi all ... I changed my /etc/xorg.conf file around a bit in an effort to get a second monitor working with my laptop.  It didn't work, and now I'd just like to get X working again.  I reverted to the original /etc/xorg.conf file and now I can only start the x server as root.
[21:51] <mdt> There are no errors at all in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
