[05:49] <Guest98393> help me pleaseeeeee
[05:50] <Guest98393> can someone tell me how to install themes on xubuntu 9.10
[05:50] <knome> !themes
[05:50] <knome> !changethemes
[05:51] <Guest98393> where is that ~/.themes/  ???
[05:52] <knome> /home/yourusername/.themes
[05:54] <Guest98393> i dont see any .themes
[05:55] <knome> in thunar, press ctrl+h so you can see hidden files and folders (starting with .)
[05:55] <knome> if you still don't see .themes, feel free to create that directory
[06:00] <Guest98393> thanks
[06:00] <knome> np
[06:11] <Guest98393> help. how do i change the panel theme
[06:11] <knome> http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2008/02/10/design-your-own-desktop-with-xfce-44/
[06:13] <Guest98393> thanks again

[06:26] <genoobie> If I'm going to use xubuntu exclusively do I need a boot loader?
[06:27] <knome> genoobie, it's not mandatory, but i wouldn't suggest ripping it off either
[06:28] <genoobie> ok
[06:28] <genoobie> fair enough
[06:28] <genoobie> I'm excited to start using xubuntu
[06:28] <knome> genoobie, :) have fun
[06:30] <genoobie> the thing that used to piss me off about linux was the software management aspect
[06:30] <genoobie> I didn't feel like compiling something every time I wanted a bin
[06:30] <knome> lol :)
[06:31] <genoobie> I was okay with "non-optimized" software
[06:31] <genoobie> anyhow
[06:49] <genoobie> hrm
[06:49] <genoobie> seems like the xubuntu install is taking some time
[06:50] <knome> a bit
[06:50] <Humbucker> :P Of course ubuntu is a big operating system
[06:50] <knome> less than windows, though
[06:50] <genoobie> well is xubuntu?
[06:50] <genoobie> yeah, funny, they seem comparable in installation time
[06:50] <knome> genoobie, xubuntu shares the base of ubuntu
[06:50] <genoobie> I suppose I can strip it down afterward
[06:51] <Humbucker> Yes, it is almost the same as ubuntu but without gnome.
[06:51] <knome> genoobie, so yes, even xubuntu is partly "big"
[06:51] <genoobie> I like the fact it detected the touchpoint mouse w/o trouble
[06:51] <genoobie> hopefully it will do the same for the wireless card
[06:52] <Humbucker> I dont have any experience with wireless & ubuntu :P
[06:52] <Humbucker> But I think it should work
[06:52] <genoobie> we'll see
[06:52] <genoobie> even XP didn't like WPA in the beginning
[06:52] <Humbucker> I managed to get it working on Arch and arch seems somewhat harder than ubuntu
[06:52] <knome> everything is solvable. genoobie, did you try the livecd?
[06:52] <genoobie> nah
[06:52] <genoobie> I wanted to install it, I'm done with XP on this machine
[06:53] <genoobie> too slow.  XP can run on 256MB ram, but it's a dog
[06:53] <knome> BARK!
[06:53] <Humbucker> xp isnt slow, itself ...
[06:53] <Humbucker> Maybe your virus scanner xP
[06:53] <genoobie> :)
[06:53] <genoobie> nah, no anti-vir
[06:53] <genoobie> it's an old machine
[06:54] <genoobie> I was debating whether or not to dump another $20 into it for more ram
[06:54] <knome> $20 is a little.
[06:54] <Guest56366> How do I restore the default settings in Xubuntu?
[06:54] <knome> if you go up from 256, you will get *lots* more than worth $20 :)
[06:54] <Guest56366> I messed up my desktop in installing themes help
[06:54] <genoobie> but figured I would try xubuntu first and see if I can get some mileage with a PIII 800 / 256MB
[06:55] <genoobie> yeah, but is it *really* worth it?
[06:55] <Humbucker> xfce is much wuicker than gnome, believe me :P
[06:55] <knome> genoobie, yes. :)
[06:55] <genoobie> :)
[06:55] <genoobie> I'd only be going up to 512
[06:55] <Humbucker> I like xfce very much
[06:55] <knome> it is still worth it
[06:55] <knome> genoobie, with 512 you can go few more releases ahead at least
[06:55] <genoobie> I installed xfce on an old bsd system
[06:56] <genoobie> hrm
[06:56] <knome> Guest56366, what about going to the theme interface and restore the default theme? (albatross)
[06:56] <Humbucker> What means hrm?? xP
[06:56] <knome> Humbucker, "he remains mysterious"
[06:57] <Guest56366> ok, theres one more problem
[06:57] <knome> Guest56366, yup?
[06:57] <Guest56366> MY PANELS ARE GONEE
[06:57] <Guest56366> help
[06:57] <knome> Guest56366, press alt+f2 and run "xfce4-panel"
[06:57] <Guest56366> Thanks!
[06:57] <knome> again, np.
[06:58] <knome> genoobie, seriously, more ram NEVER hurts.
[06:58] <genoobie> is 133 usually backward compatible with 100?
[06:59] <knome> genoobie, i don't know. depends on the ram and also if the motherboard wants to play with both 100 and 133 at the same time, even if the other was "downgraded"
[06:59] <knome> but then again, i'm no hardware expert :)
[07:00] <knome> i just know how it accets usability, and between 256 and 512 there is quite a bit difference
[07:01] <genoobie> well I'll see how it goes with 256
[07:01] <genoobie> if it's a dog
[07:01] <genoobie> then I'll consider 512
[07:01] <Guest56366> whats the hotkey for restart?
[07:01] <genoobie> I saw some on ebay for $10, but now I can't find it
[07:01] <knome> Guest56366, there's no such key unless you specify one yourself, and i don't suggest that.
[07:02] <knome> Guest56366, use the "action buttons" applet (an arrow + a door)
[07:02] <knome> Guest56366, only takes 2 clicks
[07:06] <genoobie> okay I'm looking for wireless settings
[07:06] <knome> !wlan
[07:06] <genoobie> tx
[07:09] <genoobie> knome, supposedly works out of the box...
[07:09] <genoobie> but no lights are on the card...
[07:09] <knome> genoobie, have you checked if it's enabled in the bios?
[07:10] <genoobie> it's not a bios option
[07:10] <knome> okay. is it a laptop?
[07:11] <genoobie> yes
[07:11] <knome> is the wlan adapter builtin?
[07:11] <genoobie> it's a PCMCIA card calling for the acx driver
[07:11] <knome> oh...
[07:11] <genoobie> it appears to be
[07:12] <genoobie> I mean the site calls it "out-of-the-box"
[07:12] <knome> is there any buttons to enable/disable wlan?
[07:13] <genoobie> no
[07:13] <genoobie> it's a separate PCMCIA card
[07:13] <Humbucker> 0.o Doesn't ubuntu offer out-of-the-box wlan support??? With arch I could activate it in the installer :P
[07:13] <Humbucker> That's strange in my opinion
[07:13] <knome> Humbucker, it does, but there is problematic cards
[07:14] <genoobie> I mean ordinarily the lcds are lit up on the card
[07:15] <genoobie> Like i said, it's a ACX driver, and according to the page, I'll need ndiswrapper
[07:15] <genoobie> for wpa support
[07:15] <knome> oh, okay..
[07:15] <genoobie> but the card is not responding
[07:16] <knome> i have no experience on pcmcia wlan cards, sorry
[07:16] <knome> !ndiswrapper
[07:16] <genoobie> s
[07:16] <knome> hmm
[07:16] <genoobie> s'ok
[07:16] <knome> maybe just browse the forums
[07:35] <genoobie> knome, do you have a link?
[07:35] <genoobie> or a suggestion on how to get this stupid card to work?
[07:38] <genoobie> okay
[07:38] <genoobie> I'm stuck, I'll admit
[07:44] <knome> genoobie, ubuntuforums.org
[07:44] <knome> gonna get a few hours of sleep now ->
[11:49] <samuels> hey guys. strange problem. i inserted a dvd which usually is fine in windows but here its mounting as a blank disk. its a data dvd.  i tried dmesg | tail and the output is exomount:segfault
[11:49] <samuels> any ideas on whats happening?
[11:51] <samuels> here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/348062/
[11:53] <samuels> anyone??????
[11:53] <_Pete_> is it burned overtime or something?
[11:53] <_Pete_> line 8
[11:54] <samuels> nope its got almost 200mb of blank space
[11:54] <_Pete_> well if it only *usually* works in windows
[11:54] <_Pete_> maybe there's really something wrong with disc/drive
[11:54] <_Pete_> or both
[11:54] <samuels> it does work in windows
[11:55] <samuels> other dvd's are working fine so the drive is fine i suppose....
[11:56] <samuels> if there is a problem with the disk will it mount as a blank or will it not mount at all????
[11:58] <samuels> _pete_ ?
[11:58] <_Pete_> no idea
[11:59] <samuels> ok _Pete_ thank you for your time
[11:59] <_Pete_> np
[13:24] <hyatt> hi i'm using xfce 4.6.1 and want to use xfce4-globalmenu. in order to get rid of the gtk menus in the windows i wrote "export GTK_MODULES=gnome-globalmenu" into my .profile but after a relog nothing happened. any idea?

[15:16] <memet> morning all
[15:16] <memet> I'm trying to get apturl to work with FF3
[15:39] <memet> good morning
[15:39] <memet> I just installed xubuntu and I'm having some small problems
[15:39] <memet> 1) the performance is terrible
[15:39] <memet> I thought the OS would outperform windows
[15:45] <knome> memet, with what hardware are you running xubuntu?
[15:47] <memet> knome, 256MB ram + PIII 800 MHz, S3 graphics
[15:47] <memet> winxp runs faster than this
[15:47] <knome> memet, 256 ram is somewhat little. do note that xubuntu 9.10 is an OS from 2009, xp is not
[15:47] <memet> that's true, but even still
[15:48] <knome> there's not but :P
[15:48] <memet> well, then I need a different OS
[15:48] <memet> or just switch back to XP
[15:48] <knome> have you got any chance to upgrade your ram?
[15:48] <knome> memory is cheap now.
[15:48] <memet> I'm sure I could
[15:48] <memet> but why would xp >> this OS?
[15:49] <knome> even upping to 512 would make a difference
[15:49] <knome> sorry, can you rephrase?
[15:49] <memet> well, it seems strange that winxp would run better than a linux + xfce
[15:50] <knome> some linux distributions will run faster on that hardware, i suppose
[15:50] <knome> like damn small linux or puppy linux
[15:50] <knome> the drawback is that they are not as easy to use
[15:52] <memet> it just seems strange that launching an app is taking minutes instead of seconds
[15:52] <memet> rt-click on the desktop is *slow*
[15:52] <memet> everything is slow
[15:52] <knome> i'm sorry, but complaining doesn't fix it.
[15:52] <memet> no I know, I'm just not sure where to look to fix it
[15:53] <knome> install an older version of xubuntu, eg. 8.04, they work better with 256 ram
[15:53] <memet> what does version 9 give you that 8 doesn't
[15:53] <memet> I need WPA for instance
[15:53] <knome> you could also try the minimal cd, where you can select what software to use, and might be able to slim down the system a bit
[15:53] <memet> it's still 2.6, correct?
[15:54] <knome> (x)ubuntu has 2.6.24
[15:54] <knome> *8.04
[15:54] <knome> wpa should work in 8.04, however, the hardware compatibility list is smaller
[15:54] <memet> yeah, it just is slow
[15:55] <knome> if you don't need to upgrade, you can consider installing even older versions, but that is totally NOT supported nor suggested.
[15:55] <memet> yeah, that's fine
[15:56] <memet> I can't use this desktop
[15:56] <knome> consider the possibility of buying some new memoery
[15:56] <memet> I suppose I could just buy the ram and reinstall xp
[15:56] <knome> well, once you buy the ram you should test xubuntu first. if it is fast enough then
[15:57] <knome> (at least as you already have it installed)
[16:17]  * Ov3rf10w brb
[16:53] <hal> xubuntu must be real good. nobody is asking questions
[16:54] <Sysi> you say that with 2 minutes experience?
[16:54] <_Pete_> hal: art of ZEN
[16:54] <_Pete_> only drar sword when it is needed
[16:55] <hal> true
[16:55] <_Pete_> so you have question or not ?
[16:56] <hal> not right now
[16:57] <_Pete_> I have 20v ZEN and 15 or so in linux
[16:57] <_Pete_> so mind your question
[16:58] <_Pete_> Ov3rf10w: that doesnt include you
[16:59] <_Pete_> Ov3rf10w: you can ask what ever you like
[16:59] <Ov3rf10w> lol
[17:02] <Ov3rf10w> _Pete_, go to #ubuntu there is a lot of questions for you :D
[17:02] <_Pete_> I wont
[17:03] <Sysi> xubuntu and #xubuntu ♥
[17:03] <Ov3rf10w> :)
[17:03] <_Pete_> for real
[17:03] <_Pete_> there are too many morons
[17:03] <_Pete_> .. not for me
[17:04] <Ov3rf10w> hmmm....
[17:04] <Ov3rf10w> yea
[17:04] <Ov3rf10w> :D
[17:04] <Sysi> yea, here's just me
[17:04] <_Pete_> I like this channel
[17:04] <_Pete_> ... even I dont anymore use xfce
[17:04] <_Pete_> but coz the ones who come here
[17:04] <Sysi> i have xfce, no ubuntu :P
[17:04] <_Pete_> seems to know something
[17:05] <Ov3rf10w> Sysi, you mean not gnome xD
[17:05] <_Pete_> otherwise they wouldnt chose xfce at all
[17:05] <Sysi> Ov3rf10w: no, not any *buntu
[17:05] <Ov3rf10w> what linux you using?
[17:06] <Sysi> exept older netbook
[17:06] <hal> does xfce have a live cd or do you have to install?
[17:06] <Sysi> fedora and centos
[17:06] <_Pete_> I am using 9.10 with kde3
[17:06] <Sysi> there are xubuntu livecds
[17:06] <_Pete_> and on servers debian
[17:07] <Ov3rf10w> _Pete_, 9.10 is shit xD
[17:07] <Ov3rf10w> 9.04 is the best version
[17:07] <_Pete_> Ov3rf10w: works for me
[17:07] <Sysi> it works in some cases yeah
[17:07] <Ov3rf10w> xD
[17:07] <hal> what is the difference of xfce vs xubuntu?
[17:07] <_Pete_> hal: xfce vs gnome
[17:08] <Sysi> xubuntu in ubuntu with xfce
[17:08] <Sysi> !xfce
[17:08] <Ov3rf10w> i tryed 9.10 and do not like it
[17:08] <Ov3rf10w> tried*
[17:08] <hal> xfce is less bloated i imagine
[17:08] <_Pete_> hal: thats the purpose of it
[17:08] <Ov3rf10w> xfce is maked for performance
[17:09] <hal> sweet
[17:09] <Sysi> but it seems to fail a bit :/
[17:09] <_Pete_> but as a developer
[17:09] <hal> on what?
[17:09] <_Pete_> they both use same code base
[17:09] <Sysi> xubuntu could be lighter
[17:09] <_Pete_> what can really be difference
[17:10] <hal> i tried puppylinux. now thats is lighter, and DSL but they are missing much
[17:10] <_Pete_> with my quadcore/8G&/some nividia card
[17:10] <_Pete_> there is no difference
[17:10] <Sysi> i may get 10.04 if it's great, otherly i wouldn't like to use apt
[17:11] <_Pete_> except with KDE4
[17:11] <_Pete_> that is noticably slower
[17:11] <hal> KDE is nice but bloated
[17:11] <hal> for my system anyway
[17:11] <_Pete_> nah
[17:11] <_Pete_> I like kde3
[17:12] <_Pete_> it has ALL the tunes youn can twiddle with
[17:12] <Sysi> i've never liked any kde
[17:12] <hal> so do i..but my unit is a little old
[17:12] <Sysi> xfce is easy to get look good and be nice to handle
[17:12] <Ov3rf10w> kde is kde is sucks
[17:12] <_Pete_> but me being HC nerd
[17:12] <Ov3rf10w> xD
[17:12] <_Pete_> no wonder
[17:13] <hal> i may try xfce
[17:13] <Sysi> real nerd use openbox :b
[17:14] <Sysi> hal: how old?
[17:14] <TheSheep> real nerd write their own wm
[17:14] <_Pete_> does they also use n900 ?
[17:14] <Sysi> lubuntu or crunchbang should be good
[17:14] <hal> 05 i think. dell 240
[17:14] <Sysi> _Pete_: some of them
[17:14] <hal> 1gig on ram
[17:15] <_Pete_> Sysi: what about those who got one for free coz they did excellent coding job?
[17:15] <hal> it can handle ubuntu, but sluggish
[17:16] <hal> xubuntu is better on it
[17:16] <Sysi> _Pete_: that sounds nerd
[17:16] <_Pete_> Sysi: 5p hint
[17:16] <_Pete_> I am the one of those
[17:17] <hal> can xubuntu use openoffice?
[17:17] <Sysi> you just have too much time :P
[17:17] <Sysi> hal: of course
[17:17] <hal> sweet
[17:17] <hal> 9.04 is better you said right?
[17:17] <hal> pete?
[17:18] <Sysi> well, for me it was
[17:18] <hal> ok
[17:18] <_Pete_> hal: for your particular problem
[17:18] <_Pete_> no idea
[17:18] <hal> haha
[17:20] <_Pete_> what is so funny?
[17:20] <hal> you drew a sword, when it wasnt needed
[17:21] <_Pete_> hmm
[17:21] <hal> :)
[17:21] <_Pete_> how?
[17:22] <hal> think about it. your smart
[17:22] <hal> time for me to make like a cow paddy..and hit the trail.  have a great day
[17:35] <twilightning> Hello
[17:36] <twilightning> How can I open desktop items in a single click in Xfce?
[17:40] <Ov3rf10w> go to thunar
[17:40] <Ov3rf10w> preferencis
[17:41] <Ov3rf10w> behavior
[17:50] <twilightning> this is only for file management
[17:50] <twilightning> I am talking about desktop icons
[18:07] <Aquina> hy! I wanna upgrade one of my personal systems from K7 (MSI KT6 Delta FISR w. AMD Athlon XP 2600+ and DDR-SD-RAM) to K8 or K9. Everything else will be the same. Do you think my cusomized Xubuntu 8.04.3 will handle that?
[18:13] <_Pete_> yes
[18:22] <Aquina> Are all drivers in kernel? Should I uninstall the non-free ATI driver for my Radeon 9550 Pro in case I choose a new Mainboard with onBorad graphics? What about my audio chipset. I'm using some AC97 VT82?? chip. Will I have to reconfigure lots of things regarding that?
[19:05] <nik_> Hi all there
[19:06] <nik_> HELP
[19:06] <Sysi> "ask

[19:06] <djura-san> ( Sysi was faster :) )
[19:09] <nik_> I had installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a dual boot with windows xp. It ran for around 2months and today I just tried installing Via chipset drivers on it. Some errors appeared but I still rebooted the system after it  finished. After rebooting, the GRUB appears when I select Linux a text login screen apears which continously blinks and i m not able to enter linux GUI
[19:13] <nik_> is anyone there?

[19:18] <Sysi> maybe no one just knows
[19:23] <Aquina> _Pete_ have you read my question from 19:22 (GMT+1:00)?
[19:24] <Aquina> nik_ that sounds strange since it implies a modification of you Ubuntu installation on an ext4 partition.
[19:27] <nik_> I probably can work out if i am able to login to the GUI
[19:27] <nik_> but even with the live cd m not able to mount the linux partition
[19:27] <nik_> it gives error
[20:03] <knome> hey, anybody has experience on setting a working vnc server up on ubuntu?
[20:17] <Aquina> ah... nik_ so you're probably in the GRUB gui.
[20:17] <Aquina> Aehm ... GRB CLI
[20:18] <Aquina> Sometimes major drive changes regarding GRUB cause what you described, nik_ The following commands can be issued to recover the system (make volumes available again).
[20:19] <Aquina> 1] "ls -a /dev/disk/by-uuid" / "ls -slap /dev/disk/by-uuid"
[20:19] <Aquina> 2] Write down / copy the output of the command given above.
[20:19] <Aquina> 3] Then reebot and enter GRUB (ESCAPE), issue 'p' and edit.
[20:19] <Aquina> 4] Modify GRUB ("sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst") with UUID.
[20:19] <Aquina> 5] Modify fstab ("sudo nano /etc/fstab") with appr. values.
[20:19] <Aquina> 6] Issue "sudo update-grub" to enable all the changes made.
[20:19] <Aquina> 7] Issue  tune2fs with switches -C1, -c<INTd> and -i<INTd>.
[20:20] <Aquina> (7 only in case you like it)
[20:21] <Aquina> (3 requires you to correct what is listed with the content of 1]/2])
[20:21] <Aquina> (after 3] follows 4] - no reboot or something!)
[20:22] <Aquina> (you correct 5] the same way you corrected 3] with the data from 1]/2])
[20:22] <Aquina> I hope it's just the ID association... ;-)
[20:44] <kidko> Hey all, I'm running Xubuntu 9.04. Had to re-install it, and now all of a sudden I have no system bell once logged in. On shutdown it works, and it worked before I reinstalled, but now 'echo -e "\a"' does nothing
[22:54] <slow-motion> hi
[22:54] <Ov3rf10w> hi
[22:54] <Ov3rf10w> :)
[22:55] <oorah> howdy yall
[22:55] <oorah> where's balsaq?
[22:55] <oorah> hey emma
[23:06] <nickybatts> Hey guys
[23:06] <nickybatts> What's a good ftp client?
[23:06] <TheSheep> lftp
[23:06] <TheSheep> installed by default
[23:06] <Ov3rf10w> nickybatts, filezilla
[23:06] <nickybatts> filezilla... yea
[23:06] <Ov3rf10w> :)
[23:06] <nickybatts> I've heard of that
[23:06] <nickybatts> Okay cool
[23:07] <Ov3rf10w> sudo apt-get install filezilla
[23:07] <nickybatts> Doing it now... thanks :)
[23:07] <nickybatts> Anybody here gotten EVE online to work with Xubuntu?
[23:09] <SiDi> Hi there
[23:09] <SiDi> nickybatts, you may want to ask for help in #wine
[23:10] <SiDi> it should basically be all the same than under another distro
[23:10] <nickybatts> Thought so, not too familiar with WINE however
[23:10] <nickybatts> Okay, I will check it out thanks
[23:10] <SiDi> nickybatts, EVE online used to have official support but it doesn't anymore, so this may mean its not working for everybody anymore. ANyway I advise you to have a look at appdb.winehq.org
[23:11] <nickybatts> cool thanks
[23:11] <nickybatts> Ha.. I have so many desktop.ini pics in all my backed up files
[23:11] <nickybatts> Sigh
[23:12] <SiDi> its files automatically created by windows
[23:12] <SiDi> enjoy :/
[23:13] <nickybatts> Can I delete them easily>
[23:13] <SiDi> find -name desktop.ini | xargs rm
[23:13] <SiDi> it will go through your whole home
[23:13] <SiDi> may take a while
[23:14] <nickybatts> I did a seach using the built in app, but I can't interact with them
[23:14] <nickybatts> hmm
[23:15] <SiDi> I prefer the command line way xD
[23:15] <nickybatts> Is that the exact command?
[23:17] <SiDi> Yes
[23:17] <SiDi> find -name desktop.ini will search through your whole home directory for all files named desktop.ini
[23:18] <SiDi>  | xargs <appname> will take the result of the command on the left and give it as a parameter to <appname>
[23:18] <SiDi> so | xargs rm will remove the files that were found
[23:18] <SiDi> (that works only if the files dont have spaces in their names though - there's an extra bit to do for files with spaces)
[23:19] <SiDi> The correct command would then be: find -name desktop.ini -print0 | xargs -0 rm
