| psycho_oreos | change the resolution settings on the user account? | 06:58 |
| homebrewcider | I do, but i have to do it every time i power up | 07:04 |
| homebrewcider | they don't seem to stick | 07:05 |
| psycho_oreos | using which video chip? | 07:06 |
| homebrewcider | Nvidia en8800 gt | 07:08 |
| psycho_oreos | did you use the nvidia tools? | 07:10 |
| homebrewcider | using Nvidia X server config tool | 07:12 |

| Makavey | I am new to ubuntu 9.1 and linux all together. Everything I try to install from the software center comes up as "Requires installation of untrusted packages" Does anyone know what to do? | 08:20 |
| _Pete_ | Makavey: you have added extra repositories to your apt-source-list without providing gpg-key(or what ever that is) for those? | 08:24 |
| Makavey | You mean the software sources list? Other software? | 08:27 |
| _Pete_ | yes | 08:27 |
| Makavey | No I am just trying to add apps from the ubuntu software center... | 08:28 |

| MrNaz_yma | what is the file in which panels are defined? i'd like to write a script that changes all the panels to how i like them on install so i dont have to do it manuall | 09:10 |
| MrNaz_yma | just found it... are they compatible from version to version? i.e., can i safely back mine up and use if for the next version of xfce ? or is that not safe ? | 09:14 |
| ablomen | MrNaz_yma, since i think xfce 4.0 i have used the same home directory and the same panel files, didnt encounter any problems, though nobody can promise that in 10 years the same panel file will work | 09:21 |
| MrNaz_yma | of course | 09:25 |
| MrNaz_yma | i use ubuntu, i guess i could make the files again every 6 months when a new one comes out | 09:25 |
| MrNaz_yma | its just that since i moved to linux i find myself installing a working desktop config on anything that computes | 09:25 |
| MrNaz_yma | and accessing all my files on an internet connected nas... that way i can work from any computer anywhere | 09:27 |
| MrNaz_yma | and it'd be nice to have a script that apt-gets everything i need and autoconfigures all apps and panels the way i like them | 09:27 |
| MrNaz_yma | thanks | 09:27 |
| ablomen | well one of the easyest things to do is using a seperate partition for /home, this way you can do fresh installs but still keep most if not all of your settings | 09:28 |
| ablomen | without backup up that is | 09:28 |
| ablomen | well for the apt-get thing you could just write a basic bash script | 09:28 |
| ablomen | the config files (as long as they are not system wide, thus in /etc) should all be contained and the app should use that existing config file/dir | 09:29 |
| MrNaz_yma | ablomen yea... the problem with doing that is that not all apps are well behaved vis a vis their settings... firefox almost always shits the bed with i use a .firefox dir with a different version... there's always some plugin or something that throws a tantrum that makes everything break and meaks i just delete it and reinstall | 09:32 |
| MrNaz_yma | wow those are some impressive typos | 09:33 |
| faheem_ | hello i am using xubuntu, i noticed as i changed my theme my cpu usage went down which is what im looking to do, any other ways to decrease resource usuage anyone know of? | 09:35 |
| ablomen | MrNaz, hmm firefox is pretty decent at just disabling old plugins with no updates nowadays | 09:36 |
| ablomen | faheem_, you can disable some services you are not using (install bum [Boot up manager] for this) | 09:37 |
| ablomen | though do this with care, don't disable what you are not sure about | 09:37 |
| faheem_ | thanks ablomen :) | 09:38 |
| ablomen | also things like not having a background image will give you a (very very) small decrease in usage | 09:38 |
| * faheem_ shrugs | 09:38 | |
| faheem_ | im willing to give it all up | 09:39 |
| faheem_ | lol | 09:39 |
| faheem_ | pc is ancient :P but xubuntu is working wonders on it | 09:39 |
| Sysi | if you want extremely low cpu usage, get crunchbang or lubuntu | 09:41 |
| ablomen | and of course using the most lightweight apps does wonders, mpd with a terminal front end for example is a good light-weight alternative for most music players | 09:41 |
| Sysi | that minimal-xubuntu also seems pretty cool | 09:41 |

| faheem_ | thanks Sysi but im quite happy with this :) | 09:41 |
| faheem_ | also another problem i have been having is as soon as i update to 9.10 ubuntu my tocuhpad stops working, does anyone else have this issue? | 09:46 |

| Miika-- | Hello | 11:35 |
| Miika-- | What could be the problem: I lost the headerbar from all my applications. I cannot move any window now and those close, resize and minimize buttons are gone with it. | 11:37 |
| Sysi | press Alt + F2 and type there "xfwm4" | 11:38 |
| Miika-- | Sysi: Ok, it worked. What is this about? | 12:04 |
| Sysi | windom manager was broken | 12:05 |
| Miika-- | Did that fix it permanently, or do I have to adjust something? | 12:07 |
| Sysi | no, maybe you should save session | 12:07 |
| Sysi | i mean that it did fix it | 12:07 |

| becker_11 | is there a simple answer as to why Xubuntu is using kernel 2.6.31.17 when the newest available is already in the 2.6.32.x range? | 17:47 |
| Sysi | it hasn't been compiled for xubuntu repositories | 17:49 |
| Sysi | current is provided to be stable | 17:49 |
| becker_11 | Sysi I guess that makes sense .... | 17:50 |
| becker_11 | does U/xubuntu have a release cycle for new kernels or is it just with new OS releases? | 17:51 |
| Sysi | i think it's only with new versions | 17:52 |
| Sysi | but there are backport-repositories | 17:52 |
| becker_11 | backport?? | 17:52 |
| turtle_ | hey all | 19:06 |
| turtle_ | does xubuntu come with a compiler installed? | 19:06 |
| turtle_ | I'm trying to install a tarball but running configure says command not found, and short of using incorrect syntax, that surely would mean no compiler | 19:07 |
| Sysi | have you unpacked the tarball? | 19:08 |
| turtle_ | yep | 19:08 |
| turtle_ | using file roller | 19:08 |
| Sysi | hum, you may need gcc | 19:08 |
| turtle_ | righteo i'll search synaptic | 19:09 |
| turtle_ | yep its not installed | 19:09 |
| turtle_ | still says command not found | 19:11 |
| xavia | build-essential is a good package to install. it will make sure all the basic commands for compiling something are installed | 19:12 |
| turtle_ | i have that installed | 19:13 |
| xavia | hmm. it should be telling you what command it couldn't find. | 19:13 |
| xavia | like gcc: command not found | 19:13 |
| turtle_ | I type configure | 19:14 |
| turtle_ | and it says configure: command not found | 19:14 |
| xavia | ah | 19:14 |
| xavia | ./configure | 19:14 |
| xavia | it's in thec urrent working directory, not the PATH. so you need ./ | 19:14 |
| turtle_ | bash: ./configure: No such file or directory | 19:15 |
| xavia | are you inside the directory of whatever you just un-tarred? | 19:15 |
| turtle_ | yep | 19:15 |
| xavia | what are you trying to compile? | 19:16 |
| turtle_ | autoscan | 19:16 |
| turtle_ | to check for ftp ports on my network | 19:16 |
| xavia | ah ok. I just downloaded a tar.gz from the autoscan website. inside the tar is a shell script that does everything for you | 19:18 |
| xavia | unless you specifically downloaded the source tar | 19:18 |
| turtle_ | oh ok my bad I didn't know I could run *.sh | 19:18 |
| turtle_ | I'm still learning :( | 19:18 |
| xavia | no problem. yep .sh means it's a shell script | 19:18 |
| turtle_ | ok thanks | 19:19 |
| turtle_ | I feel like an idiot, but at least its working now | 19:20 |

| evanthia | HI! I'm trying to get the touchpad to be disabled when a plug a usb mouse and then enabled when it is unplugged | 22:03 |
| evanthia | However, the removable device management doesn't detect removing the mouse | 22:04 |
| evanthia | is there any known ways to do that? | 22:04 |
| Sysi | hum, you propably could write some script | 22:05 |
| Sysi | but sounds complicated, or maybe there is easy solution somewhere | 22:05 |
| evanthia | you mean scripting outside of the thunar-volman | 22:06 |
| evanthia | directly to HAL? | 22:06 |
| evanthia | btw is udev used still in xubuntu? | 22:08 |
| evanthia | found a script for udev | 22:09 |
