[01:33] good day sirs. [01:36] And ma'ams [01:37] i have vanilla ubuntu karmic installed.... and i did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras fluxbox - am i able to switch between fluxbox and gnome easily? or what happens now? [01:41] Usually from login manager choose then what desktop [01:45] Hi. I am testing Xubuntu 10.04 and want to enable my bluetooth mouse. Is there a graphical interface like in gnome? [01:45] tester3478, #ubuntu+1 for lucid [01:51] does xubuntu support bluetooth mice and how? [01:51] thievy [01:51] look at the session tab in the loading screen [01:52] *thiefy [01:52] there should be a fluxbox entry after install [01:53] please anyone? [01:54] im still a noob [01:54] 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] google is your friend? [01:55] no it is not [01:55] oh ok [01:55] 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] i know not about mce [01:55] mice [01:56] bing gives you zing [01:56] it's just that xubuntu should have a simple gui config tool to enable bluetooth devices [01:56] lol [01:56] or have it easy to have gtk and kde apps to be skinned right [01:56] ... [01:56] how DO i do that [01:58] try looking at backports? [01:58] ndiswrapper help at at all [01:59] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup fails??? [01:59] brb [02:01] much better [02:04] thanks residentgrey [02:04] I will try that [02:05] i do what google likes lol [02:05] Does google do what you like? [02:06] not always, fickle like many things [04:11] Hi! [04:11] Why when I iniciate xubuntu the volume is ALLWAYS off? [04:47] 'm trying to edit a file...when I click on "edit" I get a box asking me to "choose your preferred text editor first".On the left in this box is "search,recently used,bobby,desktop & filesystem".On top in this box is an empty box beggin me to put in a "location" for mousepad.Anybody know what I tell this thing ? [09:10] can any body help with Realtek ALC262 [09:10] my mic not working [10:04] this stupid youtube now uses too much cpu time [10:04] how bad [10:04] together with that cpsed flash [10:04] yuck [10:04] before it used to work.. [10:05] now seems like you need dual core X ghz just to play d* small videos [10:30] hmm, how to install gnome sound recorder without that pulseaudio thing, etc.. [10:57] Hi, all. Just upgraded to Lucid and my sound has gone. Anyone know where to change the settings? I suspect PulseAudio has taken over. [10:59] chris_debian, #ubuntu+1 for lucid support [10:59] Oops, sorry....will head over there. [11:41] i am afraid of installing pulseaudio now [11:41] i have low disk space and alsa seems working as default [11:41] do zou have some sound recording program to recommend [11:42] since gnome sound recorder pulls all pulseaudio and stuff [12:15] is there any beta release of xubuntu yet? === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [12:17] ajdebre456 [12:17] lucid beta will be out soon [12:17] sorry [13:39] Hi lads.. [13:39] decided to test xubuntu for a carpc.. [13:39] carpc? [13:40] pc in a car.. [13:40] or computer as one might put it [13:40] how would you be installing the system [13:41] on a omnibook laptop.. just need a decent touchscreen [13:41] was there an issue with the installation? [13:41] some said to steer away from netbook remix [13:41] not yet.. [13:41] but there is bound to be.. [13:42] 3m network card.. [13:42] 3com* [13:42] tried the livecd yet? [13:42] downloading as we speak.. last time i used xubuntu was 6.04 [13:42] 6.06 you mean [13:43] dapper [13:43] something like that.. [13:43] alltho settling for a distro is mighty complicated... [13:44] i know enough of linux to be dangerous to the distro i choose ;) [13:45] some say i need to change some kernel stuff. and that i might need some help with [13:45] well best to try it out, then troubleshoot; if you wish to just chat there are the various offtopic channels [13:45] will have gps via bluetooth if i can find the dongle.. else it's usb [13:46] baz... and the offtopic is? [13:47] #k/x/ubuntu-offtopic , depending on which you wish [13:47] our is a bit dead [13:47] looks like it [13:47] :) [13:51] actually i was looking for a tut on throwing the livecd on a pendrive... [13:52] easier to install [13:52] unetbootin [13:52] gracias [13:52] also pendrivelinux.com [13:53] will have a go at that [13:56] unetbootin.sourceforge.net iirc they have a windows version as well [13:59] if you already are running a variant of ubuntu karmic (k/x) then unetbootin is in the repos [13:59] got it... installing on pendrive as of now [14:00] you may also wish to consider lxde if xfce4 is too heavy [14:03] only using the pendrive as a means of installing.. if xfce is too heavy i'll go with fluxbox [14:03] :D [14:04] okay [14:04] be sure to choose boot from usb in the bios [14:05] or is lxde more fingerfriendly? i'll have to rely on touch screen input. [14:05] currently I dont know if any variant supports that, you might wish to check ubuntuforums for more [14:08] hm... if i can remember my login.. [14:08] no need to login just ubuntu/xubuntu/etc touchscreen will gives links to ubuntuforums in your favorite search engine [14:12] remembered my login.. hehe. been a while since i have been there [14:12] last visit august 20. 2008 [15:14] seems i cannot boot from a pendrive. and the bios is locked.. more bumps in the road [15:40] i get blinking screen and sr0 errors.. reboot and use safe vga? [15:44] well this is rather unsatisfying to install xubuntu on that old piece of crap [15:45] sounds like a bad burn [15:45] did you md5 the iso as well [15:46] i did at download while using a dlm [15:46] and the burner has never failed yet... [15:46] but alas... could be a bad burn [15:47] at least i have live desktop atm sortof [15:47] corrupt iso or bad burns (or too fast) are the main culprits for the most part [15:47] Hello [15:48] how do I open a folder in terminal? [15:48] cd [folder] [15:48] lol, I mean like [15:48] In a new window [15:48] like on mac it is open [15:49] Like, I want to make a shortcut to my /usr/games folder on my desktop [15:49] but I want to do it using Terminal commands, not using a link [15:50] mklink /usr/games if im not completely misunderstanding [15:50] No, ok, like, that was an example >_< [15:50] :) [15:51] 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] ex: "FileManager ./" [15:51] Make sense? [15:52] Sorry, it is a very specific thing, but it is useful to me :P [15:52] sorry... preoccupied.. [15:53] i cant really remember how to... [15:53] :/ [15:55] but should be thunar [15:55] Ok, I will stick in here for today in case anyone else knows [15:55] hey!

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