[01:52] my baud rate says 9600 if i try to higher the baud rate can i damage the modem? [02:07] physically?;] [02:08] no [02:13] cause on terminal it says that 9600 is the maximum baut it could safely use something like that [02:13] baut=baud [02:19] anyone wich baud rate i choose put [02:19] ? [02:20] what is the point of doing that? [02:21] to get higher speed? [02:29] you will not get higher speed === [BT]Brendan is now known as [BNC]Brendan [02:29] ok === [BNC]Brendan is now known as [BT]Brendan [05:29] good morning xubuntu developers, coders, pro hackers and casual observers! === [BT]Brendan is now known as [BNC]Brendan [07:59] 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? === [BNC]Brendan is now known as [BT]Brendan === [BT]Brendan is now known as [BNC]Brendan === [BNC]Brendan is now known as [BT]Brendan [11:02] 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? === angus is now known as Casper3 [11:28] 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] Hello [12:19] I'm new to ubuntu, or rather linux in general [12:19] !hi | BlitzHere [12:19] 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! [12:21] 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] What are the specs of your system? [12:22] BlitzHere, if you have a relativly fast connection i would try them all, but i love xubuntu personally [12:23] bad connection 256 kbps... [12:23] 1.6 Ghz P4 [12:23] 512 meg RAM [12:23] Nvidia FX 5200 [12:23] 80 GB SATA 7200 rpm HDD [12:23] hmm yeah, while im a noob myself i would imagine xfce would be good with that system [12:24] 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] the only bottleneck i see is the ram [12:24] same, i use it on my best and worst system [12:24] well.. the most important issue for me is performance [12:24] I don't care about the looks [12:25] as long as it doesn't hamper ease-of-use [12:25] spoken like someone who gets paid by the job, i respect that [12:25] the cool part (i think) about xfce is that it can use anything gnome can pretty much [12:26] so as bare bones or as bling bling as you want it, its been done and documented [12:26] plus i have ADD and i like having few distractions [12:27] other than vodka on snow days of course [12:29] 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] Does Xubuntu offer significant performance gains? [12:29] not gains as much as less overhead [12:29] Oh and having Firefox open with like 100 tabs... [12:29] so depending on how you interperate it [12:30] less overhead, as in? [12:30] kde and gnome are both very nice, but they do lots of stuff that i would call fluff [12:31] bear in mind im a noob still myself, just about 9 months of linux use [12:31] but for example i dont need a recent document manager, i have one called my brain [12:32] 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] Working on windows too much makes it harder to shift [12:32] its not so bad man [12:32] what do you mean with "windows experience" BlitzHere ? [12:33] you could jump right in xubuntu with little trouble if your network hardware works [12:33] and fluff as in windows doing funky blinking/bending? [12:33] yeah fades, drop shadows [12:33] among many other things [12:34] xfce just does what needs to be done to manage windows [12:34] balvonas: nothing profesional, but can do just about anything on Windows and DOS [12:35] it also does anything else, you just have to install that extra if you will [12:35] i have 8 gigs of ram and im still miserly about it [12:36] firefox will still be the bane of your existance [12:36] firefox?? hmm? [12:36] although i hear there is a firefox addin that reduces memory usage [12:36] nah, firefox is crap [12:36] im the type of guy that leaves one instance of firefox open for like 2 weeks in some cases [12:36] Eh, it works fine for me on WinXP... if it can do that much, that's works for me [12:36] balvonas: recommendation? [12:36] chrome [12:37] is it in apt yet? [12:37] nope [12:37] bah too much work [12:37] hehe [12:37] one line to cli is too much work? [12:37] i run that for gmail and wave [12:37] chrome that is [12:37] 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] but thats at work [12:38] adblock never worked right for me [12:38] neither of the chrome blockers [12:38] hmm..it does good for me. I've been using it since my dialup days. [12:38] downloading the movie and just not playing it doesnt make me happy [12:38] Hmm...? [12:38] elinks or death? [12:39] heh as if you could survive 1 day with links [12:39] You could always try midori, for a lightweight browser [12:39] * BlitzHere goes to google that [12:40] im a fan of webkit [12:40] and i dont dislike google4 [12:40] but, hmm... i dont trust anyone [12:40] its also a microsoft research OS O.o [12:41] and a crappy liqour [12:41] BlitzHere: midori? [12:41] yes [12:41] search on google instead of bling [12:41] Midori (operating system) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [12:42] first result on google [12:42] weird [12:42] i read somewhere about a minimilist browser based on the unix paridigm [12:42] yeah, and I get the browser as result 2 [12:42] It is a browser developed and maintained by the fine folks at Xfce [12:42] but yeah im drinking so all i can think of is drink names now [12:42] It is also in the repositories, so you can install and test it easily [12:43] orly [12:43] I got that too... it's "also" a MS OS [12:43] 4 hole megs eh? i got my eye on you [12:47] 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] payola [12:47] ? or . [12:54] 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] BlitzHere: you are correct [12:56] thx [12:57] 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] You can also search there for any package by name or description [12:59] so, basically any application or driver that I am looking for should be available there? [12:59] For example I' [13:00] d be looking for the proprietary NVidia river [13:00] driv*er [13:01] Why? [13:01] look in Applications -> System -> Hardware Drivers and see what it recommends [13:01] I have an FX5200 card... shouldn't I be looking for teh NVidia linux driver? [13:01] You would activate that there, also [13:01] ah..ok [13:02] will keep that in mind [13:02] You don't need the proprietary drivers unless you need 3d display, most of the time [13:02] 1 word... games [13:03] 2 words, I don't [13:03] mostly stuff like Vega strike [13:03] games means nothing to me, I don't play them [13:03] ah, ok but I do, and I'm assuming I'd need the drivers... [13:04] anyway, VLC media player/KM player should be available there? right? [13:04] yup [13:05] what were you saying about a cli command for chrome? [13:05] That wasn't me, I don't use it [13:06] chrome is the google operating system, isn't it? Chromium should be the browser itself [13:06] nope, chrome is also the browwser [13:06] chrome OS is the netbook OS [13:06] Or is chrome the windows browser, and chromium the linux browser? [13:06] which is designed to work with specific hardware [13:07] http://www.google.com/chrome?platform=linux [13:08] hmm...this is from the picasa linux page [13:08] Desktop Integration features require a current version of Gnome or KDE. [16:21] Good morning folks [16:21] 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] right click -> customize panel [16:22] there's tap autohide [16:22] right click on the panel or on the desktop? [16:22] panel [16:23] hmmm, I didn't see that option. Will have to look more carefully. [16:23] so you don't have to gconftool or gconfig-editor or anything like that which you have to do in ubuntu? [16:24] i think there are same option [16:25] ok, well now I feel stupid. I never saw that before on ubuntu but sure enough it is there. [16:25] :) [16:26] off I go. Thanks for the help. [17:42] 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] !fonts [17:43] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [17:45] thanks [18:03] Since I got "log in automaticly in Xubuntu" I lost the "quit options" dialog when I click on the quit button. [18:03] where you get "log off, standby, shut down...ect" [18:04] now when I click the "quit button" I just quit to the login screen [18:07] problem solved [18:07] just googled it [20:48] hello [20:48] i have some problems with my wireless [20:48] just installed xubuntu on my laptop [20:48] i made a new wireless connection, entered SSID, MAC and WEP [20:49] but it doesnt connect [20:49] any suggestions? [20:49] is your wlan interface working? [20:50] (e.g. does it appear in "iwlist"?) [20:52] i get "failed to read scan data : Network is down" on wlan0 [20:54] do you have the wlan device powered on? [20:54] I should have, unless the default is off [20:54] does lspci or lsusb show the device? [20:55] yes it does [20:55] are the drivers loaded? [20:55] (check dmesg) [20:56] ah, it says i need to go to wireless.kernel.org to download drivers [20:56] thanks a lot :) [20:56] well wait cPt [20:56] what card is it? [20:57] maybe you just have to install a package with apt [20:57] Broadcom BCM4318 [AirForce One 54G] [20:57] have you tried just to click icon in panel? [20:57] yes [20:58] what does it show? [20:58] Yeah there is a Panel Option "Hardware Drivers" [20:58] it should automatically show you what you have to install [20:58] Thanks! [20:58] and it will allow you to install it automatically [20:58] i meant the nm-applet icon [20:58] thanks a lot [20:58] new to ubuntu [20:58] i just needed to click for connecting wlan [20:59] no problem, you are welcome [20:59] Sysi, some drivers are missing in this case [20:59] so he won't be able to connect though [21:01] *he/she/it [21:01] sorry everyone [21:01] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx === [BT]Brendan is now known as [BNC]Brendan [21:16] how do I connect to a network share in xubuntu?

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