[01:52] <yesitisjustme> my baud rate says 9600 if i try to higher the baud rate can i damage the modem?
[02:07] <balvonas> physically?;]
[02:08] <balvonas> no
[02:13] <yesitisjustme> cause on terminal it says that 9600 is the maximum baut it could safely use something like that
[02:13] <yesitisjustme> baut=baud
[02:19] <yesitisjustme> anyone wich baud rate i choose put
[02:19] <yesitisjustme> ?
[02:20] <balvonas> what is the point of doing that?
[02:21] <yesitisjustme> to get higher speed?
[02:29] <balvonas> you will not get higher speed
[02:29] <yesitisjustme> ok
[05:29] <Balsaq> good morning xubuntu developers, coders, pro hackers and casual observers!
[07:59] <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?
[11:02] <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?
[11:28] <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.
[12:19] <BlitzHere> Hello
[12:19] <BlitzHere> I'm new to ubuntu, or rather linux in general
[12:19] <charlie-tca> !hi | BlitzHere
[12:21] <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
[12:22] <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
[12:23] <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
[12:24] <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
[12:25] <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
[12:26] <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
[12:27] <scopecreep> other than vodka on snow days of course
[12:29] <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
[12:30] <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
[12:31] <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
[12:32] <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 ?
[12:33] <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
[12:34] <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
[12:35] <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
[12:36] <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
[12:37] <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...
[12:38] <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?
[12:39] <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
[12:40] <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
[12:41] <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
[12:42] <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
[12:43] <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
[12:47] <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 .
[12:54] <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...
[12:56] <charlie-tca> BlitzHere: you are correct
[12:56] <BlitzHere> thx
[12:57] <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
[12:59] <BlitzHere> so, basically any application or driver that I am looking for should be available there?
[12:59] <BlitzHere> For example I'
[13:00] <BlitzHere> d be looking for the proprietary NVidia river
[13:00] <BlitzHere> driv*er
[13:01] <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
[13:02] <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
[13:03] <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...
[13:04] <BlitzHere> anyway, VLC media player/KM player should be available there? right?
[13:04] <charlie-tca> yup
[13:05] <BlitzHere> what were you saying about a cli command for chrome?
[13:05] <charlie-tca> That wasn't me, I don't use it
[13:06] <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
[13:07] <BlitzHere> http://www.google.com/chrome?platform=linux
[13:08] <BlitzHere> hmm...this is from the picasa linux page
[13:08] <BlitzHere> Desktop Integration features require a current version of Gnome or KDE.
[16:21] <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?
[16:22] <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
[16:23] <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?
[16:24] <Sysi> i think there are same option
[16:25] <tivotyro> ok, well now I feel stupid.  I never saw that before on ubuntu but sure enough it is there.
[16:25] <Sysi> :)
[16:26] <tivotyro> off I go.  Thanks for the help.
[17:42] <muzy> Hello everyone, I have a little font-problem.. I just copied some font files into /etc/x11/fonts/ but these font's are not recognized. Any idea?
[17:43] <charlie-tca> !fonts
[17:45] <muzy> thanks
[18:03] <Sachse_Siechtum> Since I got "log in automaticly in Xubuntu" I lost the "quit options" dialog when I click on the quit button.
[18:03] <Sachse_Siechtum> where you get "log off, standby, shut down...ect"
[18:04] <Sachse_Siechtum> now when I click the "quit button" I just quit to the login screen
[18:07] <Sachse_Siechtum> problem solved
[18:07] <Sachse_Siechtum> just googled it
[20:48] <cPt> hello

[20:48] <cPt> just installed xubuntu on my laptop
[20:48] <cPt> i made a new wireless connection, entered SSID, MAC and WEP
[20:49] <cPt> but it doesnt connect
[20:49] <cPt> any suggestions?
[20:49] <muzy> is your wlan interface working?
[20:50] <muzy> (e.g. does it appear in "iwlist"?)
[20:52] <cPt> i get "failed to read scan data : Network is down" on wlan0
[20:54] <muzy> do you have the wlan device powered on?
[20:54] <cPt> I should have, unless the default is off
[20:54] <muzy> does lspci or lsusb show the device?
[20:55] <cPt> yes it does
[20:55] <muzy> are the drivers loaded?
[20:55] <muzy> (check dmesg)
[20:56] <cPt> ah, it says i need to go to wireless.kernel.org to download drivers
[20:56] <cPt> thanks a lot :)
[20:56] <muzy> well wait cPt
[20:56] <muzy> what card is it?
[20:57] <muzy> maybe you just have to install a package with apt
[20:57] <cPt> Broadcom BCM4318 [AirForce One 54G]
[20:57] <Sysi> have you tried just to click icon in panel?
[20:57] <cPt> yes
[20:58] <Sysi> what does it show?
[20:58] <muzy> Yeah there is a Panel Option "Hardware Drivers"
[20:58] <muzy> it should automatically show you what you have to install
[20:58] <cPt> Thanks!
[20:58] <muzy> and it will allow you to install it automatically
[20:58] <Sysi> i meant the nm-applet icon

[21:16] <Crewsr3_> how do I connect to a network share in xubuntu?
[21:57] <balvonas> q
[23:11] <jussi01> any of the regular named ops around atm?
[23:14] <knome> jussi01, o/ ? :P
[23:26] <jussi01> knome: Im looking for someone to pop something about #ubuntu-irc-helpers to /topic as I dont think its appropriate for me to do it with just irc council privelidges
[23:28] <knome> ah
[23:28] <knome> i don't think i can do that. :P
[23:29] <jussi01> knome: why not?
[23:30] <knome> jussi01, i'm only op at #xubuntu
[23:30] <knome> i think.
[23:31] <jussi01> knome: yup, and thats what Im after, something in the topic here about #ubuntu-irc-helpers
[23:31] <knome> oh, topic HERE
[23:31] <knome> lol
[23:31] <knome> &n
[23:31] <knome> oops
[23:31] <knome> :)
[23:31] <apoc90> can somebody help me? i can't login to my Xubuntu desktop but i can get into GNOME, when i select Xfce if just takes me back to the login screen over and over. I can however get into Xfce with a brand new user i just created.
[23:31] <jussi01> ok, now bed for me
[23:32] <knome> jussi01, see PM!
[23:33] <knome> hmm
[23:34] <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
[23:35] <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
[23:36] <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
[23:37] <apoc90> I have 50 folders in the broken user name's folder
[23:38] <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
[23:39] <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?
[23:40] <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?
[23:41] <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
[23:42] <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
[23:43] <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
[23:44] <apoc90> ok ill be right back
[23:46] <apoc90> Charlie, it worked! Thanks alot I really appreciate it.
[23:46] <apoc90> Thank you too knome
[23:47] <charlie-tca> You are welcome
[23:50] <knome> np
[23:51]  * 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
[23:52] <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
