[01:15] <Flea_> Hi everyone. I just installed xubuntu on my laptop last week and I'm loving it!!
[03:47] <pec_ar> hi suddenly my pc don't have sound. What can i do?
[03:48] <pec_ar> it is runnin xubuntu
[04:07] <likemindead> You could hang around for more than thirty seconds. ;-(
[04:16] <TheGamer81> I am having problems with xubuntu.
[04:17] <TheGamer81> Hello?
[04:17] <TheGamer81> Ok nevermind.

[04:47] <Sememmon> likemindead: lol =]
[04:47] <likemindead> It's ridiculous, isn't it?

[07:27] <jung_> hallo i'm new to xubuntu i need help
[07:28] <knome> !ask | jung_
[07:28] <jung_> my Slave Drive is not recognized
[07:28] <knome> are you sure it's correctly plugged? do you see anything under /media/ ?
[07:28] <knome> What does 'mount' return in terminal?
[07:28] <jung_> yup i checked is not there
[07:29] <jung_> it is ntfs and fat format
[07:29] <knome> !ntfs
[07:30] <jung_> thank u
[08:02] <Balsaq> Sysi?
[08:04] <Sysi> on bad wlan
[08:05] <Balsaq> bummer
[08:05] <Sysi> schools
[08:08] <floyd8> I want to create a linux set up with a pre-configured development enviorment for my team members. How would I go about doing something like that?
[08:18] <Balsaq> floyd8 : what team do you manage?
[08:18] <_Pete_> floyd8: like this, extract .iso, then do modifications there and then pack it again to .iso
[08:19] <floyd8> _Pete_: So I could have the iso pre configured with stuff like LAMP, some databases, some command line tools and other packages?
[08:20] <_Pete_> yes
[08:20] <floyd8> Very cool
[08:20] <_Pete_> what ever you like
[08:20] <floyd8> Any issues with hardware compatability? I think not.
[08:21] <_Pete_> no
[08:21] <floyd8> Wow. This is very interesting
[08:21] <floyd8> It was just an idea, because I was reading about Amazon EC2 Machine Images
[08:22] <_Pete_> hopefully the db will be postgres and lamp doesnt include php :)
[08:22] <floyd8> It takes a lot of time to set up a new member's enviorment. Especually because we are all remotely based and have different machines
[08:22] <_Pete_> how so? all those can be installed with single apt-get
[08:23] <_Pete_> so maybe easier is to have all machines ssh ready
[08:23] <_Pete_> then with that remote execute script which installs what is needed
[08:24] <floyd8> I was thinking that an .iso would be better because it would assure that all of our stuff is isolated from you own personal files
[08:26] <_Pete_> what do you mean with that?
[08:29] <floyd8> _Pete_: Duel boot everyone's computers. Company OS and personal OS
[08:30] <floyd8> "Company" is used loosely here
[08:30] <floyd8> Or, alternatively use a VM
[08:51] <Redaxxx> I got a minor but quite annoying problem with xubuntu, everytime I boot my computer and reach the desktop it automatically opens terminal, hardware drivers and add/remove software (or whatever it's called in English)... When shutting off I make sure that "Save session for future logins" is not marked.  Anyone know how to stop this from happening?
[08:53] <_Pete_> "Save session for future logins" do this with the setup you want to see on next boot
[08:54] <Redaxxx> -facepalm- alright, thank you Pete
[08:55] <Redaxxx> I'll try that out
[16:01] <Redaxxx> Hello, whenever I open a .html document it opens it in firefox even though I have selected Google Chrome to be my mainbrowser, why?
[16:02] <Sysi> it may need to be set up in filemanager
[16:02] <Sysi> rightclick →  properties
[16:02] <Redaxxx> alright, sec
[16:03] <Redaxxx> can't find anything
[16:04] <Sysi> i have there "open with" and drop menu
[16:06] <Redaxxx> ah yeah, got it.. thanks a lot :)
[16:22] <Redaxxx> hehe alright.. next question then, I got two hotkey problems.. In Google chrome I can't use ctrl+F4 to close down tabs, nothing happens and I play a game where alt+f8 should show your fps in the top left corner but that doesn't work either... Program -> system -> keyboard -> shortcuts (or whatever it says in English) doesn't show that those keys are assigned to anything so why doesn't it work?
[16:23] <Redaxxx> oops... program -> settings(?) -> keyboard -> shortcuts*  not system
[17:09] <faLUCE> (9.10) hi. I want to add a timer in the grub menu when booting. I don't find men.lst anymore. what should I modify?
[17:10] <charlie-tca> There is no menu.lst in grub2; take a look in /etc/grub.d and read the docs on it
[17:15] <acalbaza> so... since my upgrade to karmic i have no ati 3d support because my card is now considered legacy... anyone else?
[17:17] <faLUCE> charlie-tca: I'm reading the readme. but I don't find anything useful for adding a simple timer
[17:18] <charlie-tca> timer for seeing the menu?
[17:18] <faLUCE> charlie-tca: yes
[17:18] <charlie-tca> Wrong menu; sorry. Got to set that in /etc/default/grub
[17:19] <faLUCE> charlie-tca: I don't have this file
[17:20] <charlie-tca> look again, it is installed by default with grub2
[17:20] <charlie-tca> should be a file called grub in /etc/default
[17:21] <faLUCE> charlie-tca: I don't have it
[17:21] <genii> faLUCE: Did you upgrade from 9.04-9.10 and chose to keep grub1 ?
[17:22] <faLUCE> genii: yes
[17:23] <genii> faLUCE: Then it's the same as before, in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[17:23] <genii> faLUCE: (not "men.lst" as you wrote earlier)
[17:24] <faLUCE> genii: there's not, anyway., thanks, in another machine there is. should i modify GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET to true?
[17:24] <charlie-tca> Not if you are using grub 1
[17:25] <charlie-tca> in grub2, yes
[17:25] <faLUCE> charlie-tca: how can I check which grub I'm using?
[17:25] <genii> apt-cache policy grub
[17:26] <faLUCE> ok thanks all
[17:27] <charlie-tca> comment out the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT line, too
[17:27] <faLUCE> genii: the command you said doesn't tell me anything
[17:31] <faLUCE> this grub menu starts when for example I accidentally power off my pc
[17:31] <faLUCE> and it has not a timeout....
[17:31] <faLUCE> otherwise, when I perform a normal boot, I don't see it
[17:32] <faLUCE> now: I want to avoid that it hangs on this grub, after this accident. Tne system has to be ready automatically
[17:53] <faheem_> hello
[17:53] <faheem_> an ysers awake?
[17:53] <Sysi> !hi
[17:53] <charlie-tca> !question
[17:54] <faheem_> ]i'm currently using xubuntu, my screen resolution is too high any ideas how to solve that?
[17:54] <faheem_> i see about 1/4 of the desktop the rest is past the margins
[17:55] <charlie-tca> sounds like this might help: xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Xft/DPI -s -1
[17:57] <faheem_> bash: xfconf-query: command not found
[17:57] <charlie-tca> hmmm
[17:57] <faheem_> lol.. im not the most ubuntu literate as yet :)
[17:58] <charlie-tca> What version of xubuntu?
[17:58] <Sysi> i'd try: xrandr --auto
[17:58] <faheem_> Release:	8.04
[18:00] <charlie-tca> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/DisplayConfigGtk
[18:01] <faheem_> it blanked the desktop a couple seconds Sysi and returned to the normal resolution in which i have
[18:01] <faheem_> it blanked the desktop a couple seconds Sysi and returned to the normal resolution in which i have a problem lol*

[18:09] <alejandra> 9.04
[18:11] <charlie-tca> The package name changed to gambas2; try 'sudo apt-get install gambas2' in the terminal
[18:18] <charlie-tca> I am running an install now for 9.04; it will take about 10 minutes to come up
[19:06] <lcb> hi. which graphical partition manager do you recommend without too much dependencies? i had too much work removing gnome and kde dependencies and progs to go back to gparted.
[19:19] <TheSheep> lcb: gparted
[19:27] <lcb> thanks TheSheep
[20:14] <azo> Des francais ?
[20:14] <Sysi> !fr
[20:14] <azo> Sysi,  Thx
[20:14] <Sysi> pas de problem :)
[20:17] <TheSheep> .oO( de rien )

[21:13] <jmcantrell> anyone know how i might change the wallpaper with the python library?
[21:15] <TheSheep> jmcantrell: on what operating system?
[21:20] <jmcantrell> TheSheep: linux (xubuntu)
[21:21] <TheSheep> jmcantrell: ah, sorry, I didn't look at the channel
[21:22] <TheSheep> jmcantrell: I thought it's #python
[21:22] <TheSheep> jmcantrell: you can send the HUP signal to xfdesktop process to make it switch to the next wallpaper from the list, but that's probably not what you want
[21:24] <jmcantrell> not really. :-/
[21:24] <jmcantrell> thanks though
[21:28] <Flea_> Hi. I need help installing freeorion. Can anyone help me out?
[21:31] <charlie-tca> Where did you get it?
[22:10] <Aled> In Xfce, how do you set the menu system so that you don't have to click off the current open menu to switch to the next
[22:10] <Aled> as in, on the "Applications" and "Places" bit
[22:15] <charlie-tca> Aled: don't know that you can do that in Xfce
[22:15] <Aled> D:
[22:16] <Aled> It's just a minor inconvinience, but I'll get used to it
[22:16] <Aled> I came to Linux from Windows see?
[22:16] <charlie-tca> As do most users
[22:16] <Aled> But at least it works on individual program menus
[22:16] <charlie-tca> yes
[22:38] <Rascal999> balls, have an atom processor on a netbook which ran at 800MHz idle, now it doesn't
[22:58] <z0man> Hi Xubuntu Community.  I have been wondering why Empathy will not start in Xubuntu and ideas?
[22:59] <charlie-tca> Probably does not have the gnome dependencies installed
[23:00] <z0man> hmmm.  /me starts empathy in terminal mode
[23:00] <z0man> ACtually says... "Bus Error" :(
[23:00] <charlie-tca> Does it give any errors?
[23:01] <charlie-tca> That will be a clue
[23:01]  * z0man googles
[23:02] <z0man> known bug in launched i believe.
[23:03] <z0man> heh the bug is reported from some country... I'll mark it as affecting me :)
[23:03] <z0man> oh... I already have
[23:03] <z0man> ba
[23:04] <z0man> think in the mean time I'll use Pidgin until it gets fixed :)
[23:05] <z0man> heh I had to "End Process" for "Gnome System Monitor" to close it.
[23:05] <charlie-tca> I think pidgin is the default in xubuntu, isn't it?
[23:06] <z0man> So it is... heh I naturally just wanted to install Empathy due to it's clean look
[23:12] <z0man> wow sure is quieter than ubuntu channel
[23:12] <knome> usually that also means better quality support once you get it
[23:12] <knome> charlie-tca, you still therE?
[23:12] <z0man> I got well chuffed yesturday that I managed to get my Tablet pen working :)
[23:12] <charlie-tca> yup
[23:13]  * z0man shows link
[23:13] <knome> charlie-tca, how much do you know about playing dvd's?
[23:13] <charlie-tca> use vlc?
[23:13] <charlie-tca> they don't play as nice in totem, but it can be done
[23:13] <knome> z0man, not long ago, i configured my tablet to only use one of my monitors
[23:13] <knome> well, i sure can play dvd's...
[23:13] <charlie-tca> that is all I know
[23:13] <knome> okay
[23:14] <knome> :)
[23:14] <knome> i was about to ask about angles, chapters etc.
[23:14] <charlie-tca> Oh, yeah, install dvdcss2, I think
[23:14] <z0man> http://z0mans-dev.blogspot.com/2010/01/ubuntu-genius-pen-f610_11.html
[23:14] <knome> charlie-tca, my dvd playing is working ;)
[23:14] <knome> charlie-tca, i just want more
[23:14] <charlie-tca> :-)
[23:14] <charlie-tca> more is good sometimes
[23:15] <z0man> I even managed to find something worth updating in the Ubuntu community docs too!
[23:15] <z0man> I was over the moon about that one :)
[23:15] <charlie-tca> I got 5-6 bugs for each install today
[23:15] <knome> :(
[23:15] <charlie-tca> z0man: good job! Thanks for helping
[23:17] <z0man> Never ending support of spreading Ubuntu wen I can ^^.
[23:17] <z0man> when
[23:18] <jst> Is there any way to view throughput when copying files?  I'd prefer not to run something like iftop if possible.
[23:20] <z0man> I even documented how to tie Konqueror with Kate for web development ^^.
[23:22] <jst> I'm talking about Thunar, by the way.
[23:22] <z0man> not used iftop before sorry :(
[23:23] <z0man> throughput you mean... The bytes being copied?
[23:31] <jst> z0man, yeah... or the speed at which a file is being copied.
[23:31] <jst> Right now it just gives a "time remaining," but I'd like to see bytes or transfer speed as well.
[23:37] <z0man> in GUI form?
[23:37] <jst> Yup.
[23:37] <z0man> or terminal since you said not "iftop" if possible
[23:37] <z0man> ah i got ya
[23:37] <jst> In the same window where it shows "time remaining."
[23:45] <Rascal999> why is xfce lightweight compared to gnome? what does gnome have/doesn't have that makes xfce faster?
[23:49] <Ov3rf10w> try xfce and see why is faster then gnome
[23:50] <Ov3rf10w> Xfce requires much less memory
[23:50] <Ov3rf10w> and weaker graphics card
[23:51] <z0man> Brillant for slow end machines/laptops
[23:52] <z0man> and also brill for a possible Bootable OS for diagnosing machines
[23:52] <likemindead> I just prefer Xfce over GNOME or KDE period. Even on fast, new machines.
[23:52] <z0man> I have a bootable usb stick with xubuntu for any such occasian(SP)
[23:54] <z0man> jst I think found this program called... NatActView
[23:54] <jst> Cool, one sec.
[23:55] <z0man> yet I don't believe it shows the amount of transfer speed :(
[23:55] <z0man> I need to go to bed so I will have halt research on your problem
[23:55] <z0man> all the best
[23:55] <z0man> http://netactview.sourceforge.net/#
[23:55] <z0man> http://netactview.sourceforge.net/
[23:59] <jst> Well, looks like z0man is gone, but does anyone know if there's a way to get Thunar to display this information when copying/moving files?
[23:59] <jst> I like that it shows "time remaining," but it would be nice if it showed MB/s as well.
