bazhangcobra-the-joker, lts to lts are supported path, sure04:25
faronthats a good quest.That's what I run xubuntu 80404:25
cobra-the-jokerI only install LTS versions in the any linux distro04:25
faronhey there bazhang how are you today04:26
cobra-the-jokeri like stability :D04:26
faron?04:26
faronthat sounds liuke good avice cobra....... everybody keeps telling me to upgrade04:26
faronBoy ! I'll tell ya........I certainly agree with that !~ Heck,this vers's bad enough heh heh04:27
cobra-the-jokerlol04:27
faronhad a prob recently with a firefox update that I interrupted because I thought it was stuck now I have no bookmarks etc & my desktop disappeared04:28

cobra-the-jokermy desktop hangs in 9.10 ...dont know why ... i am sure i have enough ram .... but *ubuntu is still cool04:29
faronYaeh,that's a major issue with me...ram04:30
farongot 40 gig HD but only 248 on ram04:30
faronplenty room on HD but alot of things {flash movies} just suck04:31
cobra-the-jokeri got my desktop 256 MB ram also ....its slow sometimes ...but i get things done ^_^04:32
faronit would seem that if I have that much HD  that I should be able to work around not having enough ram ??04:32
faronDo you ever have any probs with flash ?04:33
cobra-the-jokerno ...never ...maybe with some other distros ..but not with ubuntu04:33
faronI like {have} to watch any television I want online for the moment & it sure would be nice to be able to do that with everythign all synched up ya know ? like audio & video. {lips synched up with what's beeing said on screen}04:34
faronDarn ! What's wrong with my system thnen ?04:35
cobra-the-jokeryou dont have your audio , video synched ?!04:35

faronOh,God.........If you could tell me.I'd kiss you !:-*:-X=-O04:37
cobra-the-jokerlol ... i dont know actually04:38
faronDamrn04:38
faronSo you don't have any probvs with flas with only 256 MB of ram ?04:39
cobra-the-jokerno .... i dont remember having any04:40
cobra-the-jokersometimes if its higher resolution ...it lags sometimes04:40
faronhmmmmmmWell,now that now raises another issue.04:40
psycho_oreosfiguratively speaking 256 is small04:41
cobra-the-jokerbut thats because of the VGA (not enough ram for the whole video  )04:41
psycho_oreosbarely scraping off the mark04:41
faronWell,thanks for the little chat everybody.At least I know {at least for the time being} that pidgin is now working properly04:44
faronHey guys......I saw a panel plug-in called {something like} "cpu governor".Can anybody tell me what that is ? What it does ?04:48
electragicianIs GetDeb (both the site and repos) down?04:52
psycho_oreosfaron, its like cpu frequency adjuster, you can adjust for performance, for on demand, powersaving etc04:59
faronthe cpu governor sycho ?05:00
faronI guess we're still talking about that05:00
psycho_oreosyes its kinda like cpu speed stepping or whatever amd has05:01
faronI hadn't heard from anyone for awhile so I went to do something else05:01
faronHmmmmm.Well now that sounds to me like that could help {maybe a little} hmmmm05:02
psycho_oreosonly with a supported CPU of course05:02
psycho_oreosahh AMD had powernow05:02
psycho_oreosintel was speedstep05:02
psycho_oreoslol I tinkered with that thing, didn't seem to do all that much so I removed it, now I don't have any of those speedstepping capability05:04

knomei don't think a printed book, but yes, we are working on documentation... though our #1 doc guy had to take some time off06:49
knome(feel free to help with the docs!)06:49
Balsaqi printed a xubuntu manual off the net once only to learn later that it was an unreputable source.06:50
Balsaqyes i will...how do i do it?06:50
Balsaqi would like to get rid of the unaffiliated thing that is attached to my name06:52

Hellhound666Hi all, I have a question for ya's.08:53
Hellhound666I'm trying to install flash player 10 and I continually get a segmentation fault08:53
BalsaqYou must uninstall any currently installed Flash Player before installing08:55
Hellhound666there isn't any installed I don't think but I'll do that just to make sure08:57
Hellhound666thanks08:57
Balsaqafter that....08:57
BalsaqNow, install Flash 10 (make sure Firefox is not running):08:58
Balsaq$ sudo dpkg -i install_flash_player_10_linux.deb08:58
Hellhound666sudo dpkg08:58
Hellhound666ah okie08:58
Balsaqthere you go08:58
Hellhound666Hey thanks a lot08:59
Sysi-i'd install xubuntu-restricted-extras08:59
Balsaqgood one08:59
Sysi-other useful stuff, and flash08:59
Hellhound666check this out I'm running Xubuntu 9.10 on a compaq presario 70008:59
Balsaqthank you for choosing xubuntu...08:59
Hellhound66620gb hdd 256mb ram and a 1ghz processor08:59
Hellhound666I'm running it on my good laptop too though09:00
Hellhound666I just can't seem to get rid of my old computers09:00
Sysi-with that cpu machine would be pretty fast with more ram09:00
Hellhound666yeah it would just freak out if I installed windows on it09:00
Balsaqthat one prolly runs on pc100 sdram09:01
Hellhound666yeah but the ram modules are hard to get09:01
Balsaqseen them on ebay for 5 bucks09:01
Balsaqor even pc13309:01
Hellhound666I was reading up on it and they have to be the proper kind09:01
Balsaqyes09:01
Hellhound666else they over heat09:01
Balsaqi have a 450mgz and a 400mgz among other things here09:02
Hellhound666but it's worth taking a gander09:02
Sysi-just see what are original ones like09:02
Hellhound666can't get rid of your old pc's either huh09:02
Balsaqi like oldies for projects09:02
Balsaqpeople give away sdram for free sometimes09:03
Hellhound666yeah something to tinker with and not worry about damage09:03
Balsaqi actually stuffed 768 sdram in my oldest dell that only has 400mgz09:03
Hellhound666omg the old compaqs are so annoying to upgrade and get into09:03
Balsaqthe book said it can only use 38409:04
Hellhound666how did you get the clock to sync right with it?09:04
Balsaqbut linux allows it to use the 768sram09:04
Hellhound666oh09:04
Balsaqw98 would not run it correctly09:04
Balsaqwhen dell testes it they only tested it with windows09:04
Balsaqtested it09:04
Hellhound666no POST problems or anything?09:04
Balsaqnot with linux09:05
Hellhound666that's nice man09:05
Balsaqi threw puppy in it09:05
Balsaqbut it would xubuntu very well becasue it ran ubuntu...albeit a bit slow09:05
Balsaqbut your has a better processor09:06
Hellhound666here this is the one I have http://www.satelliteguys.us/computer-electronic-gadgetszone/125315-ubuntu-compaq-presario-700-laptop.html09:06
Hellhound666yeah I had old red hat on there and it was moving pretty fast but it wouldn't update09:06
Hellhound666rhn subscription issue09:06
Hellhound666so I said screw it I'm not going to try to put urpmi on there and change the rep09:07
Balsaqnice one for buntu09:07
Hellhound666yeah it runs fairly well right now09:07
Hellhound666little laggy but like u said with a little bit more ram it may do alright09:07
Balsaqjust add a touch more ram09:07
Hellhound666ya know what I've never opened up a laptop to work on.09:08
Sysi-ram is usually easy to add09:08
Hellhound666weird I have worked on plenty of desktops and servers09:08
Hellhound666yeah I'm sure09:08
Hellhound666I had to practically dislocate my arm to get ram in on the old compaq desktop09:09
Hellhound666I also have a 566mhz intel II with 256mb ram.  I might slap something on there.09:10
Hellhound666I might just sit it there and use it to do all my WEP stuff09:10
Hellhound666alright thanks everybody be back later09:11

MalfermitaKodoHi!15:48
MalfermitaKodoMy webcam has stopped working for what seems to be no reason at all (but I use it not very often so didn't know what might've caused it)15:49
MalfermitaKodoCan you give me some pointers what could have happened, I looked at the pages about my laptop and it just says it should work out of the box15:50
dmizeri cannot find "workspace switcher" in the xfce4-panels "add new items" menu. how is this possible?16:54
psycho_oreoscould it be from a dist-upgrade?16:55
dmizerit was not dist-upgraded.16:56
dmizercurrently running xubuntu hardy. installed xubuntu hardy to a bare metal system.16:57
psycho_oreosheh hardy = old16:57
dmizerhardy = stable and reliable.16:57
dmizerhardy = works with my hardware.16:58
dmizerall of my other hardy xubuntu installs have "workspace switcher" in the "add new items" menu ... i am not sure how it can possibly be missing on this one.16:58
dmizeroh man ... i feel royally stupid now. in hardy, the "workspace switcher" is called "pager" =-O17:06
psycho_oreosheh17:06
=== nikolam_ is now known as nikolam
dmizerwell, it's been fun. thanks psycho_oreos17:07
psycho_oreosdidn't do much but no probs dmizer17:08

saszaHi everyone!17:45
saszai have small problem, when i start system i get message "Hal deamon is not running"17:45
saszabut when i check /etc/init.d hal is running17:46
saszacan anyone help me?17:50
franciscohow can i do to turn up the volumen when i restart xubuntu?17:56
saszajust turn up in volume applet18:02
MalfermitaKodosasza: at which point do you get the message?18:02
saszaafter start, when login screen apper18:04
MalfermitaKodoOkay, I think I localized the webcam issue somewhat... the kernel module uvcvideo sees the webcam but /dev/video0 does not exist18:04
franciscosasza: it doesn't work, because when i restart xubuntu it's mute again18:04
MalfermitaKodofrancisco: start alsamixer and change the settings18:05
saszaso turn up again18:05
MalfermitaKodoI think alsamixer settings are retained between restarts18:05
franciscoMalfermitaKodo: thanks18:05
MalfermitaKodonow... I have to admit that I never understood udev and so far it only caused problems but I guess it is unavoidable now... how can I trick udev into creating that special file?18:06
franciscothe icon's names in the desktop are not complete showed18:09
franciscowhat can i do to resolve it?18:09
franciscospecially when are not selected18:10
MalfermitaKodoselect a smaller font size?18:10
MalfermitaKodoif you find something else, tell me18:10
franciscothantks again MalfermitaKodo18:11
franciscoand... what can i do to change the icon's name in the desktop18:11
francisco?18:12
franciscochange it for another smaller18:12
MalfermitaKodoI guess18:14
psycho_oreoshmm you might need to create a special device18:25
MalfermitaKodopsycho_oreos: how?19:05
MalfermitaKodoI thought that was udev's task now19:05
psycho_oreosit probably is udev's task but I don't think udev will automagically know how to create a special device19:05
psycho_oreosespecially a special device has all sorts of switches, check out man mknod19:06
MalfermitaKodoSo you mean with major and minor number and all ... urk! Last time I did that was then 486s were considered good enough19:07
psycho_oreospretty much, that is to create stuff in /dev anyway19:08
psycho_oreosif the device uses another file instead of /dev/video0 you can probably symlink it19:09
MalfermitaKodocan't see any reference to that19:11
psycho_oreoslooks like you might have to manually create it19:11
franciscohow can i rename my desktop icon's?19:53
franciscoi have no permissions19:54
MalfermitaKodoyou have no permission to edit your own icons?19:55
franciscoi can't edit them19:56
franciscoi don't know edit them19:56
