[03:58] <portari> Hi. I'm new in xubuntu. I install it tonight. So the system saw there are 149 files to be updated. I was do the update. Now when I power on the pc, there are 3 options to system up: xfce twice and xterm, by defaut it select first xfce but the system did not works. I need to change to second xfce option to log in. I need to change to 2nd option by default but I did not know how, can anybody help me?
[05:40] <teknorunner> I upgraded to 9.10 but now my sound doesn't work. Any suggestions?
[06:56] <homebrewcider> hey there, when I log in as a regular user I get a very low res desktop, but when I log in as root, i get a res of 1680 x 1050. What could cause this?
[06:58] <psycho_oreos> change the resolution settings on the user account?
[07:04] <homebrewcider> I do, but i have to do it every time i power up
[07:05] <homebrewcider> they don't seem to stick
[07:06] <psycho_oreos> using which video chip?
[07:08] <homebrewcider> Nvidia en8800 gt
[07:10] <psycho_oreos> did you use the nvidia tools?
[07:12] <homebrewcider> using Nvidia X server config tool
[07:12] <psycho_oreos> strange how the settings won't stick, is this an upgrade?
[07:15] <homebrewcider> fresh install
[07:16] <psycho_oreos> 9.10?
[07:18] <homebrewcider> yes
[08:20] <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?
[08:24] <_Pete_> Makavey: you have added extra repositories to your apt-source-list without providing gpg-key(or what ever that is) for those?
[08:27] <Makavey> You mean the software sources list?  Other software?
[08:27] <_Pete_> yes
[08:28] <Makavey> No I am just trying to add apps from the ubuntu software center...
[08:48] <carcass666> hi all :) nqkoi ot bg ima li
[08:56] <carcass666> Z-Star Microelectronics Corp ZC0305 Webcam does not work.please help me
[09:10] <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
[09:14] <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 ?
[09:21] <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
[09:25] <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
[09:27] <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
[09:28] <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
[09:29] <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
[09:32] <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
[09:33] <MrNaz_yma> wow those are some impressive typos
[09:35] <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?
[09:36] <ablomen> MrNaz, hmm firefox is pretty decent at just disabling old plugins with no updates nowadays
[09:37] <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
[09:38] <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
[09:39] <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
[09:41] <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] <Sysi> http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20090504
[09:41] <faheem_> thanks Sysi but im quite happy with this :)
[09:46] <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?
[11:35] <Miika--> Hello
[11:37] <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.
[11:38] <Sysi> press Alt + F2 and type there "xfwm4"
[12:04] <Miika--> Sysi: Ok, it worked. What is this about?
[12:05] <Sysi> windom manager was broken
[12:07] <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
[15:18] <dash_> huhu
[15:19] <dash_> hat jemand zeit für eine qry
[15:24] <dash_> hab ne frage hab gerade xubuntu 9.10 normal installiert , muss ich jetzt grub und xfce selber einrichten ?
[15:26] <ochosi> dash_, allgemein wird hier englisch gesprochen, aber um zur beantwortung deiner frage zu kommen: nein, musst du nicht.
[15:27] <dash_> okay sry ^^ frisch nach der install liest er noch von cd und das ist mein zweiter versuch es zu installiern ,beim erstenmal hat er dannach nicht gebootet
[15:54] <Guest648845> Hwy
[15:54] <Guest648845> hey which version of Xubuntu runs on 128 MB ram
[15:56] <Sysi> i'd try lubuntu or crunchbang with that ram
[15:56] <Guest648845> lubuntu?:P
[15:56] <Guest648845> a link please
[15:56] <Sysi> ubuntu with lxde
[15:56] <Guest648845> A link if you would please
[15:56] <Sysi> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu
[17:47] <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?
[17:49] <Sysi> it hasn't been compiled for xubuntu repositories
[17:49] <Sysi> current is provided to be stable
[17:50] <becker_11> Sysi I guess that makes sense ....
[17:51] <becker_11> does U/xubuntu have a release cycle for new kernels or is it just with new OS releases?
[17:52] <Sysi> i think it's only with new versions
[17:52] <Sysi> but there are backport-repositories
[17:52] <becker_11> backport??
[19:06] <turtle_> hey all
[19:06] <turtle_> does xubuntu come with a compiler installed?
[19:07] <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
[19:08] <Sysi> have you unpacked the tarball?
[19:08] <turtle_> yep
[19:08] <turtle_> using file roller
[19:08] <Sysi> hum, you may need gcc
[19:09] <turtle_> righteo i'll search synaptic
[19:09] <turtle_> yep its not installed
[19:11] <turtle_> still says command not found
[19:12] <xavia> build-essential is a good package to install. it will make sure all the basic commands for compiling something are installed
[19:13] <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
[19:14] <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 ./
[19:15] <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
[19:16] <xavia> what are you trying to compile?
[19:16] <turtle_> autoscan
[19:16] <turtle_> to check for ftp ports on my network
[19:18] <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
[19:19] <turtle_> ok thanks
[19:20] <turtle_> I feel like an idiot, but at least its working now
[22:03] <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
[22:04] <evanthia> However, the removable device management doesn't detect removing the mouse
[22:04] <evanthia> is there any known ways to do that?
[22:05] <Sysi> hum, you propably could write some script
[22:05] <Sysi> but sounds complicated, or maybe there is easy solution somewhere
[22:06] <evanthia> you mean scripting outside of the thunar-volman
[22:06] <evanthia> directly to HAL?
[22:08] <evanthia> btw is udev used still in xubuntu?
[22:09] <evanthia> found a script for udev
