| yesitisjustme | my baud rate says 9600 if i try to higher the baud rate can i damage the modem? | 01:52 |
|---|---|---|
| balvonas | physically?;] | 02:07 |
| balvonas | no | 02:08 |
| yesitisjustme | cause on terminal it says that 9600 is the maximum baut it could safely use something like that | 02:13 |
| yesitisjustme | baut=baud | 02:13 |
| yesitisjustme | anyone wich baud rate i choose put | 02:19 |
| yesitisjustme | ? | 02:19 |
| balvonas | what is the point of doing that? | 02:20 |
| yesitisjustme | to get higher speed? | 02:21 |
| balvonas | you will not get higher speed | 02:29 |

| BluShift | I can mount a windows share in Ubuntu fine, by creating a Launcher pointing to a Location, and that Location being smb://server/share -- However, in Xubuntu it's completely different. What's the best way to easily mount a windows share in Xubuntu? | 07:59 |

| patsbin | Good morning. I'm trying to get Adobe Air and Tweetdeck running under xubunt 9.10 (2.6.31-17-generic x86_64). I used this howto: http://technologycrowd.com/2009/10/22/install-tweetdeck-on-64-bit-ubuntu-linux-desktop-2/ After installing tweetdeck using the installer on the website, I still get the message that Tweetdeck can't find my data. Any ideas? | 11:02 |
| === angus is now known as Casper3 | ||
| patsbin | Ok. Found out that the problem is the gnome-keyring-daemon. Using GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID="whatever_pid" /opt/TweetDeck/bin/TweetDeck works just fine. | 11:28 |
| BlitzHere | Hello | 12:19 |
| BlitzHere | I'm new to ubuntu, or rather linux in general | 12:19 |
| charlie-tca | !hi | BlitzHere | 12:19 |
| ubottu | BlitzHere: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 12:19 |
| BlitzHere | I've chosen to switch to ubuntu and am trying to figure out which ubuntu version I should use... I'm tilting towards xubuntu but am not sure yet | 12:21 |
| charlie-tca | What are the specs of your system? | 12:22 |
| scopecreep | BlitzHere, if you have a relativly fast connection i would try them all, but i love xubuntu personally | 12:22 |
| BlitzHere | bad connection 256 kbps... | 12:23 |
| BlitzHere | 1.6 Ghz P4 | 12:23 |
| BlitzHere | 512 meg RAM | 12:23 |
| BlitzHere | Nvidia FX 5200 | 12:23 |
| BlitzHere | 80 GB SATA 7200 rpm HDD | 12:23 |
| scopecreep | hmm yeah, while im a noob myself i would imagine xfce would be good with that system | 12:23 |
| charlie-tca | Any of them should work for you. Personally, I use Xubuntu. It works very good on my old hardware and on my new system. | 12:24 |
| scopecreep | the only bottleneck i see is the ram | 12:24 |
| scopecreep | same, i use it on my best and worst system | 12:24 |
| BlitzHere | well.. the most important issue for me is performance | 12:24 |
| BlitzHere | I don't care about the looks | 12:24 |
| BlitzHere | as long as it doesn't hamper ease-of-use | 12:25 |
| scopecreep | spoken like someone who gets paid by the job, i respect that | 12:25 |
| scopecreep | the cool part (i think) about xfce is that it can use anything gnome can pretty much | 12:25 |
| scopecreep | so as bare bones or as bling bling as you want it, its been done and documented | 12:26 |
| scopecreep | plus i have ADD and i like having few distractions | 12:26 |
| scopecreep | other than vodka on snow days of course | 12:27 |
| BlitzHere | I should be using the system for some general office work (minor word processing, presentations and spreadsheets on openoffice), and a good amount of multimedia processing (music, movies, from the HDD, CD or DVD) and a good amount of gaming (primarily Linux native games plus some DOSBox games and a couple of the smaller Windows which are known to work on Wine) | 12:29 |
| BlitzHere | Does Xubuntu offer significant performance gains? | 12:29 |
| scopecreep | not gains as much as less overhead | 12:29 |
| BlitzHere | Oh and having Firefox open with like 100 tabs... | 12:29 |
| scopecreep | so depending on how you interperate it | 12:29 |
| BlitzHere | less overhead, as in? | 12:30 |
| scopecreep | kde and gnome are both very nice, but they do lots of stuff that i would call fluff | 12:30 |
| scopecreep | bear in mind im a noob still myself, just about 9 months of linux use | 12:31 |
| scopecreep | but for example i dont need a recent document manager, i have one called my brain | 12:31 |
| BlitzHere | eh, when you are speaking with someone who has about 1 day of Linux experience and a LOT of windows experience... think you'd be a genius | 12:32 |
| BlitzHere | Working on windows too much makes it harder to shift | 12:32 |
| scopecreep | its not so bad man | 12:32 |
| balvonas | what do you mean with "windows experience" BlitzHere ? | 12:32 |
| scopecreep | you could jump right in xubuntu with little trouble if your network hardware works | 12:33 |
| BlitzHere | and fluff as in windows doing funky blinking/bending? | 12:33 |
| scopecreep | yeah fades, drop shadows | 12:33 |
| scopecreep | among many other things | 12:33 |
| scopecreep | xfce just does what needs to be done to manage windows | 12:34 |
| BlitzHere | balvonas: nothing profesional, but can do just about anything on Windows and DOS | 12:34 |
| scopecreep | it also does anything else, you just have to install that extra if you will | 12:35 |
| scopecreep | i have 8 gigs of ram and im still miserly about it | 12:35 |
| scopecreep | firefox will still be the bane of your existance | 12:36 |
| BlitzHere | firefox?? hmm? | 12:36 |
| scopecreep | although i hear there is a firefox addin that reduces memory usage | 12:36 |
| balvonas | nah, firefox is crap | 12:36 |
| scopecreep | im the type of guy that leaves one instance of firefox open for like 2 weeks in some cases | 12:36 |
| BlitzHere | Eh, it works fine for me on WinXP... if it can do that much, that's works for me | 12:36 |
| BlitzHere | balvonas: recommendation? | 12:36 |
| balvonas | chrome | 12:36 |
| scopecreep | is it in apt yet? | 12:37 |
| balvonas | nope | 12:37 |
| scopecreep | bah too much work | 12:37 |
| scopecreep | hehe | 12:37 |
| balvonas | one line to cli is too much work? | 12:37 |
| scopecreep | i run that for gmail and wave | 12:37 |
| scopecreep | chrome that is | 12:37 |
| BlitzHere | eh, I've used that too when it first cam out...but stopped cuz some of the addons I needed weren't on it yet... | 12:37 |
| scopecreep | but thats at work | 12:38 |
| scopecreep | adblock never worked right for me | 12:38 |
| scopecreep | neither of the chrome blockers | 12:38 |
| BlitzHere | hmm..it does good for me. I've been using it since my dialup days. | 12:38 |
| scopecreep | downloading the movie and just not playing it doesnt make me happy | 12:38 |
| BlitzHere | Hmm...? | 12:38 |
| scopecreep | elinks or death? | 12:38 |
| scopecreep | heh as if you could survive 1 day with links | 12:39 |
| charlie-tca | You could always try midori, for a lightweight browser | 12:39 |
| * BlitzHere goes to google that | 12:39 | |
| scopecreep | im a fan of webkit | 12:40 |
| scopecreep | and i dont dislike google4 | 12:40 |
| scopecreep | but, hmm... i dont trust anyone | 12:40 |
| BlitzHere | its also a microsoft research OS O.o | 12:40 |
| scopecreep | and a crappy liqour | 12:41 |
| charlie-tca | BlitzHere: midori? | 12:41 |
| BlitzHere | yes | 12:41 |
| charlie-tca | search on google instead of bling | 12:41 |
| BlitzHere | Midori (operating system) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | 12:41 |
| BlitzHere | first result on google | 12:42 |
| charlie-tca | weird | 12:42 |
| scopecreep | i read somewhere about a minimilist browser based on the unix paridigm | 12:42 |
| BlitzHere | yeah, and I get the browser as result 2 | 12:42 |
| charlie-tca | It is a browser developed and maintained by the fine folks at Xfce | 12:42 |
| scopecreep | but yeah im drinking so all i can think of is drink names now | 12:42 |
| charlie-tca | It is also in the repositories, so you can install and test it easily | 12:42 |
| scopecreep | orly | 12:43 |
| BlitzHere | I got that too... it's "also" a MS OS | 12:43 |
| scopecreep | 4 hole megs eh? i got my eye on you | 12:43 |
| BlitzHere | hmm...searching on google.com doesn't give out the midori web brwser at all... google.co.in gives it as the second result...odd | 12:47 |
| scopecreep | payola | 12:47 |
| scopecreep | ? or . | 12:47 |
| BlitzHere | Before I forget, Xubuntu uses the same package system as Ubuntu, right? i.e. it has all the packages that are available for ubuntu? I don't really how this package system works, so I have to ask... | 12:54 |
| charlie-tca | BlitzHere: you are correct | 12:56 |
| BlitzHere | thx | 12:56 |
| charlie-tca | If you are using a live cd or have it installed, you can go to Applications -> System -> Synaptic Package Manager and view all the packages available | 12:57 |
| charlie-tca | You can also search there for any package by name or description | 12:57 |
| BlitzHere | so, basically any application or driver that I am looking for should be available there? | 12:59 |
| BlitzHere | For example I' | 12:59 |
| BlitzHere | d be looking for the proprietary NVidia river | 13:00 |
| BlitzHere | driv*er | 13:00 |
| charlie-tca | Why? | 13:01 |
| charlie-tca | look in Applications -> System -> Hardware Drivers and see what it recommends | 13:01 |
| BlitzHere | I have an FX5200 card... shouldn't I be looking for teh NVidia linux driver? | 13:01 |
| charlie-tca | You would activate that there, also | 13:01 |
| BlitzHere | ah..ok | 13:01 |
| BlitzHere | will keep that in mind | 13:02 |
| charlie-tca | You don't need the proprietary drivers unless you need 3d display, most of the time | 13:02 |
| BlitzHere | 1 word... games | 13:02 |
| charlie-tca | 2 words, I don't | 13:03 |
| BlitzHere | mostly stuff like Vega strike | 13:03 |
| charlie-tca | games means nothing to me, I don't play them | 13:03 |
| BlitzHere | ah, ok but I do, and I'm assuming I'd need the drivers... | 13:03 |
| BlitzHere | anyway, VLC media player/KM player should be available there? right? | 13:04 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 13:04 |
| BlitzHere | what were you saying about a cli command for chrome? | 13:05 |
| charlie-tca | That wasn't me, I don't use it | 13:05 |
| charlie-tca | chrome is the google operating system, isn't it? Chromium should be the browser itself | 13:06 |
| BlitzHere | nope, chrome is also the browwser | 13:06 |
| BlitzHere | chrome OS is the netbook OS | 13:06 |
| charlie-tca | Or is chrome the windows browser, and chromium the linux browser? | 13:06 |
| BlitzHere | which is designed to work with specific hardware | 13:06 |
| BlitzHere | http://www.google.com/chrome?platform=linux | 13:07 |
| BlitzHere | hmm...this is from the picasa linux page | 13:08 |
| BlitzHere | Desktop Integration features require a current version of Gnome or KDE. | 13:08 |
| tivotyro | Good morning folks | 16:21 |
| tivotyro | I am running latest xubuntu - livecd version installed on a usb with persistence - and I am trying to autohide the panels. Anyone know of a way to do that? | 16:21 |
| Sysi | right click -> customize panel | 16:22 |
| Sysi | there's tap autohide | 16:22 |
| tivotyro | right click on the panel or on the desktop? | 16:22 |
| Sysi | panel | 16:22 |
| tivotyro | hmmm, I didn't see that option. Will have to look more carefully. | 16:23 |
| tivotyro | so you don't have to gconftool or gconfig-editor or anything like that which you have to do in ubuntu? | 16:23 |
| Sysi | i think there are same option | 16:24 |
| tivotyro | ok, well now I feel stupid. I never saw that before on ubuntu but sure enough it is there. | 16:25 |
| Sysi | :) | 16:25 |
| tivotyro | off I go. Thanks for the help. | 16:26 |

| knome | hmm | 23:33 |
| knome | apoc90, there's probably something wrong in the session with your user | 23:34 |
| apoc90 | oh | 23:34 |
| apoc90 | how would i go about fixing that? | 23:34 |
| apoc90 | i'm sorry i'm very new =[ | 23:34 |
| knome | charlie-tca, can you remember particular files? | 23:34 |
| knome | np, we all have to start womewhere | 23:34 |
| knome | ...somewhere | 23:34 |
| charlie-tca | .config and .cache, and maybe .local | 23:35 |
| knome | apoc90, those are folders in your home directory | 23:35 |
| charlie-tca | apoc90: they are hidden files, so you will need to turn on "view hidden files" under the View menu in thunar | 23:35 |
| apoc90 | I already have that enabled, | 23:36 |
| apoc90 | which folder would it be in? | 23:36 |
| charlie-tca | Those will be three folders in /home/YOUR_USER_NAME/ | 23:36 |
| charlie-tca | in the broken users name | 23:36 |
| apoc90 | I have 50 folders in the broken user name's folder | 23:37 |
| knome | /home/username/.config | 23:38 |
| knome | /home/username/.cache | 23:38 |
| knome | /home/username/.local | 23:38 |
| charlie-tca | It will remove the configuration settings, but should let you use that name again | 23:38 |
| apoc90 | Oh so i delete these folders? | 23:39 |
| charlie-tca | Wait | 23:39 |
| charlie-tca | look at /home/username/.ICEauthority and see if your user owns it or root? | 23:39 |
| apoc90 | Yeah, I have that file in the username directory | 23:40 |
| apoc90 | I can't open it, should i just open it with gedit or something? | 23:40 |
| charlie-tca | Okay, check properties and see if it listed as root or username | 23:41 |
| charlie-tca | You can't open it. It is in a format you can't read | 23:41 |
| charlie-tca | But if root is the file owner, you can't log in | 23:41 |
| apoc90 | Under the "Permissions" tab, it states that the owner is my username | 23:42 |
| apoc90 | the username that I am failing to login to that is | 23:42 |
| charlie-tca | okay, then you will need to delete folders. Just delete the /home/username/.cache and /home/username/.config and try to log in | 23:43 |
| charlie-tca | If it fails, delete /home/username/.local also | 23:43 |
| apoc90 | ok ill be right back | 23:44 |
| apoc90 | Charlie, it worked! Thanks alot I really appreciate it. | 23:46 |
| apoc90 | Thank you too knome | 23:46 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 23:47 |
| knome | np | 23:50 |
| * charlie-tca thinks it is a bit of a pain to put the settings back the way you want it, but at least the user is usable | 23:51 | |
| knome | true | 23:51 |
| knome | though i always try to push those things as default which i will use/see most people using anyway | 23:52 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 23:52 |
| charlie-tca | makes it easier that way | 23:52 |
