| genii | Usually from login manager choose then what desktop | 01:41 |
| tester3478 | Hi. I am testing Xubuntu 10.04 and want to enable my bluetooth mouse. Is there a graphical interface like in gnome? | 01:45 |
| bazhang | tester3478, #ubuntu+1 for lucid | 01:45 |
| tester3478 | does xubuntu support bluetooth mice and how? | 01:51 |
| residentgrey | thievy | 01:51 |
| residentgrey | look at the session tab in the loading screen | 01:51 |
| residentgrey | *thiefy | 01:52 |
| residentgrey | there should be a fluxbox entry after install | 01:52 |
| tester3478 | please anyone? | 01:53 |
| residentgrey | im still a noob | 01:54 |
| tester3478 | I was really thinking of switching to xubuntu on the next release after five years of plain ubuntu but if it is even to hard to add a simple logitech bluetooth mouse than skip that! | 01:54 |
| residentgrey | google is your friend? | 01:54 |
| tester3478 | no it is not | 01:55 |
| residentgrey | oh ok | 01:55 |
| tester3478 | actually I have skipped using gmail after years I don't want them to know anything that I know so no sir no google | 01:55 |
| residentgrey | i know not about mce | 01:55 |
| residentgrey | mice | 01:55 |
| residentgrey | bing gives you zing | 01:56 |
| tester3478 | it's just that xubuntu should have a simple gui config tool to enable bluetooth devices | 01:56 |
| residentgrey | lol | 01:56 |
| residentgrey | or have it easy to have gtk and kde apps to be skinned right | 01:56 |
| residentgrey | ... | 01:56 |
| residentgrey | how DO i do that | 01:56 |
| residentgrey | try looking at backports? | 01:58 |
| residentgrey | ndiswrapper help at at all | 01:58 |
| residentgrey | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup fails??? | 01:59 |
| residentgrey | brb | 01:59 |
| residentgrey | much better | 02:01 |
| tester3478 | thanks residentgrey | 02:04 |
| tester3478 | I will try that | 02:04 |
| residentgrey | i do what google likes lol | 02:05 |
| genii | Does google do what you like? | 02:05 |
| residentgrey | not always, fickle like many things | 02:06 |

| nikolam | this stupid youtube now uses too much cpu time | 10:04 |
| nikolam | how bad | 10:04 |
| nikolam | together with that cpsed flash | 10:04 |
| nikolam | yuck | 10:04 |
| nikolam | before it used to work.. | 10:04 |
| nikolam | now seems like you need dual core X ghz just to play d* small videos | 10:05 |
| nikolam | hmm, how to install gnome sound recorder without that pulseaudio thing, etc.. | 10:30 |
| chris_debian | Hi, all. Just upgraded to Lucid and my sound has gone. Anyone know where to change the settings? I suspect PulseAudio has taken over. | 10:57 |
| bazhang | chris_debian, #ubuntu+1 for lucid support | 10:59 |
| chris_debian | Oops, sorry....will head over there. | 10:59 |
| nikolam | i am afraid of installing pulseaudio now | 11:41 |
| nikolam | i have low disk space and alsa seems working as default | 11:41 |
| nikolam | do zou have some sound recording program to recommend | 11:41 |
| nikolam | since gnome sound recorder pulls all pulseaudio and stuff | 11:42 |
| jo-erlend | is there any beta release of xubuntu yet? | 12:15 |
| === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam | ||
| nikolam | ajdebre456 | 12:17 |

| nikolam | sorry | 12:17 |
| Spaceraver | Hi lads.. | 13:39 |
| Spaceraver | decided to test xubuntu for a carpc.. | 13:39 |
| bazhang | carpc? | 13:39 |
| Spaceraver | pc in a car.. | 13:40 |
| Spaceraver | or computer as one might put it | 13:40 |
| bazhang | how would you be installing the system | 13:40 |
| Spaceraver | on a omnibook laptop.. just need a decent touchscreen | 13:41 |
| bazhang | was there an issue with the installation? | 13:41 |
| Spaceraver | some said to steer away from netbook remix | 13:41 |
| Spaceraver | not yet.. | 13:41 |
| Spaceraver | but there is bound to be.. | 13:41 |
| Spaceraver | 3m network card.. | 13:42 |
| Spaceraver | 3com* | 13:42 |
| bazhang | tried the livecd yet? | 13:42 |
| Spaceraver | downloading as we speak.. last time i used xubuntu was 6.04 | 13:42 |
| bazhang | 6.06 you mean | 13:42 |
| Spaceraver | dapper | 13:43 |
| Spaceraver | something like that.. | 13:43 |
| Spaceraver | alltho settling for a distro is mighty complicated... | 13:43 |
| Spaceraver | i know enough of linux to be dangerous to the distro i choose ;) | 13:44 |
| Spaceraver | some say i need to change some kernel stuff. and that i might need some help with | 13:45 |
| bazhang | well best to try it out, then troubleshoot; if you wish to just chat there are the various offtopic channels | 13:45 |
| Spaceraver | will have gps via bluetooth if i can find the dongle.. else it's usb | 13:45 |
| Spaceraver | baz... and the offtopic is? | 13:46 |
| bazhang | #k/x/ubuntu-offtopic , depending on which you wish | 13:47 |
| Sysi | our is a bit dead | 13:47 |
| Spaceraver | looks like it | 13:47 |
| Spaceraver | :) | 13:47 |
| Spaceraver | actually i was looking for a tut on throwing the livecd on a pendrive... | 13:51 |
| Spaceraver | easier to install | 13:52 |
| bazhang | unetbootin | 13:52 |
| Spaceraver | gracias | 13:52 |
| bazhang | also pendrivelinux.com | 13:52 |
| Spaceraver | will have a go at that | 13:53 |
| bazhang | unetbootin.sourceforge.net iirc they have a windows version as well | 13:56 |
| bazhang | if you already are running a variant of ubuntu karmic (k/x) then unetbootin is in the repos | 13:59 |
| Spaceraver | got it... installing on pendrive as of now | 13:59 |
| bazhang | you may also wish to consider lxde if xfce4 is too heavy | 14:00 |
| Spaceraver | only using the pendrive as a means of installing.. if xfce is too heavy i'll go with fluxbox | 14:03 |
| Spaceraver | :D | 14:03 |
| bazhang | okay | 14:04 |
| bazhang | be sure to choose boot from usb in the bios | 14:04 |
| Spaceraver | or is lxde more fingerfriendly? i'll have to rely on touch screen input. | 14:05 |
| bazhang | currently I dont know if any variant supports that, you might wish to check ubuntuforums for more | 14:05 |
| Spaceraver | hm... if i can remember my login.. | 14:08 |
| bazhang | no need to login just ubuntu/xubuntu/etc touchscreen will gives links to ubuntuforums in your favorite search engine | 14:08 |
| Spaceraver | remembered my login.. hehe. been a while since i have been there | 14:12 |
| Spaceraver | last visit august 20. 2008 | 14:12 |
| Spaceraver | seems i cannot boot from a pendrive. and the bios is locked.. more bumps in the road | 15:14 |
| Spaceraver | i get blinking screen and sr0 errors.. reboot and use safe vga? | 15:40 |
| Spaceraver | well this is rather unsatisfying to install xubuntu on that old piece of crap | 15:44 |
| bazhang | sounds like a bad burn | 15:45 |
| bazhang | did you md5 the iso as well | 15:45 |
| Spaceraver | i did at download while using a dlm | 15:46 |
| Spaceraver | and the burner has never failed yet... | 15:46 |
| Spaceraver | but alas... could be a bad burn | 15:46 |
| Spaceraver | at least i have live desktop atm sortof | 15:47 |
| bazhang | corrupt iso or bad burns (or too fast) are the main culprits for the most part | 15:47 |
| nrodine | Hello | 15:47 |
| nrodine | how do I open a folder in terminal? | 15:48 |
| Spaceraver | cd [folder] | 15:48 |
| nrodine | lol, I mean like | 15:48 |
| nrodine | In a new window | 15:48 |
| nrodine | like on mac it is open | 15:48 |
| nrodine | Like, I want to make a shortcut to my /usr/games folder on my desktop | 15:49 |
| nrodine | but I want to do it using Terminal commands, not using a link | 15:49 |
| Spaceraver | mklink /usr/games if im not completely misunderstanding | 15:50 |
| nrodine | No, ok, like, that was an example >_< | 15:50 |
| Spaceraver | :) | 15:50 |
| nrodine | So, say I cd to /usr/bin in my terminal, and I want to view the folder with file manager, what do I type to make file manager open up at the current location? | 15:51 |
| nrodine | ex: "FileManager ./" | 15:51 |
| nrodine | Make sense? | 15:51 |
| nrodine | Sorry, it is a very specific thing, but it is useful to me :P | 15:52 |
| Spaceraver | sorry... preoccupied.. | 15:52 |
| Spaceraver | i cant really remember how to... | 15:53 |
| Spaceraver | :/ | 15:53 |

| nrodine | ok, thank you so much! | 15:56 |
| Spaceraver | hm... the live cd is stuck at the boot page... but i have console from f1-f6 | 15:57 |
| Spaceraver | ill leave it at that... have to go out now... | 15:59 |
| Spaceraver | ill be back tomorrow some time | 16:00 |

| faron | good day everybody hope all are well.just curious.Anybody running ubuntu with the new friefox 3.6 & noscript ? | 20:34 |
| thiefy | faron, i am on ubuntu with firefox 3.5.8 and noscript... | 22:06 |
| faron | did ff disable your noscipt when you downloaded 3.5.8 ? | 22:07 |
| thiefy | nope. | 22:08 |
| faron | ahhhhhh well when I downed 3.6 they disabled it | 22:08 |
| thiefy | maybe you need to update noscript? | 22:08 |
| thiefy | or just re-inst. it? | 22:08 |
| thiefy | i've never had that problem as i've gotten updates. | 22:08 |
| faron | supposedly I have tthe latest but I'll probably go check | 22:09 |
| thiefy | i'm updating my update manager | 22:09 |
| thiefy | i'll see if it offers me 3.5 | 22:09 |
| thiefy | 3.6 | 22:09 |
| faron | hmmm yeah have to go check | 22:09 |
| thiefy | 1.9.9.57 is the newest. | 22:10 |
| thiefy | well that's annoying, i see firefox 3.6 is out for linux. but ubuntu's update manager doesn't tell / offer me 3.6 | 22:12 |
| faron | I'll have to try reinstall then now because apparently I uhninstalled it | 22:12 |
| faron | No.It's not approved yet | 22:13 |
| thiefy | ah, i see. | 22:13 |
| faron | I had to take a fairly long way around to get it | 22:13 |
| faron | had some quirks at first but everything seems fine now | 22:14 |
| thiefy | cool. | 22:14 |
| faron | thiefy...you know anything about greasemonkey ? | 22:15 |
| thiefy | nope. never used it. | 22:15 |
| thiefy | i figure the more of these addons you plop into firefox, the slower it gets. | 22:16 |
| thiefy | so i use few as possible. | 22:16 |
| faron | too bad.works pretty good on youtube though.Gonna try & get it to work with tvguide.com's dvr | 22:16 |
| thiefy | that one screws with the webpage itself, rerenders it, doesn't it? screws with scripts... i'd think that'd kill preformance. | 22:16 |
| thiefy | yeah, lots of cool tricks i've heard it can do. | 22:16 |
| faron | Flash works REALLY bad on my pc so I had to find a work around | 22:17 |
| faron | Well,actually it works ALMOST perfcetly but just bad enough to b annoying | 22:18 |
| medianmajik | thiefy: add the firefox dev ppa to download newer builds via synaptic/apt | 22:20 |
| faron | that's what I had to do.Kind of a hassle but the new ff seems at leat a bit smoother | 22:21 |
| xiven | Are the screensavers in the Screensaver settings panel specific to Xubuntu at all? | 22:25 |
