gotttoIk10:50
emcxbuntuif i enable eth on karmic then the ping from xbuntu goes thru but then i loos my inet wlan10:50
knomeemcxbuntu, i mean, if you want to try in german ;)10:50
emcxbuntuno it seams its a xbuntu -karmic problem i tried the german channel10:51
emcxbuntumaybe i did to mutch now for 3weeks10:51
gotttoIyou are trying to share the ethernet connection?10:52
emcxbuntuyes10:52
emcxbuntubut not the eth the wlan10:52
gotttoIcan you ping the other comp?10:52
emcxbuntui live 25miles from the host provider10:52
emcxbuntuwith a air connect to the town hall10:52
gotttoIeg    ping 192.168.0.510:52
emcxbuntuok let me explane the system10:53
gotttoIifconfig   in terminal tells the ip address10:53
emcxbuntuther is a router in town that has ip 192.168.47.35 DHCP 192.168.47.>10010:54
gotttoIk10:54
emcxbuntuthe wlan card of the karmic gets the 11610:54
emcxbuntuthe eth of the karmic i fixt to 192.168.47.6010:54
gotttoIk10:55
emcxbuntuthe eth of the xbuntu i fixt to 192.168.47.6210:55
emcxbuntubut if i enable via panel the eth of the karmic i loos my connect to the town router10:55
emcxbuntudo i have to use other ip  for the eth 192.168.not47.xx10:56
gotttoIyou might have only one eth number to use maybe10:56
emcxbuntuthere are 8 houses in town10:57
gotttoIbut what numbers do the others use?10:57
emcxbuntui'am not clear in understanding the routing of the eth to the wlan on the karmic10:57
emcxbuntuther is only dhcp larger then 100 i think10:58
emcxbuntuso what i think is better to use internal other numbers and then rout them over the 192.168.47.116 the wlancard10:59
gotttoII think you need to ask the person that set the towns system up maybe10:59
emcxbuntuthats not the case10:59
gotttoIk11:00
emcxbuntucause i got 3 numbers for use but the xbuntu does not accept any wlancard i got -> 5 available here11:00

kaolbrecHi. I'm using xubuntu 9.10, with a radeon 4850. I also have two monitors. Xubuntu shows only one in display options. Can this be changed?11:57
kaolbrecgrandr doesn't help much. Keeps blathering about maximum screen size.12:05
kaolbrecBack to a gnome desktop I guess. Ho hum.12:06

oalBut now there isn't and I have to press enter to continue15:40
oalIs there a way to automatically skip this?15:40
charlie-tcawhat version of xubuntu?15:40
oalIt's Xubuntu 9.10 32 bit by the way15:40
oalcharlie-tca: Xubuntu 9.1015:40
charlie-tcayou can go to /etc/default and edit grub15:40
oalHmm, exactly what do I need to change?15:41
oalCan't just press E on the grub screen and add a parameter or something?15:41
charlie-tcaJust remove the # in front of 'GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET...'15:42
charlie-tcaThat will stop the menu from showing up15:42
oalOk, thank you :)15:42
charlie-tcaIf you want to keep the menu, set the number after GRUB_TIMEOUT="5"15:42
oalOk15:45

Sachse_Siechtumwhen I plug my vinyl record player in my mic plug....I dont hear anything17:51
charlie-tcadid you turn mic "on" and turn the volume for it up?17:59
Sachse_Siechtumjust a moment18:05
Sachse_Siechtumyes18:08
Sachse_Siechtumthe meter shows there is input coming in...18:08
Sachse_Siechtumbut I dont hear anything18:08
Sachse_Siechtumoutput is fine18:08
charlie-tcadoes it work with a microphone plugged in?18:08
Sachse_Siechtumyes18:08
charlie-tcaweird18:08
Sachse_Siechtumit works in XP18:09
Sachse_Siechtummaybe I need an app to activate it...18:12
Sachse_Siechtumsomehow I dont have no system sounds, which are mono, too18:21
Sachse_SiechtumI have no...18:21
faronUsing Xubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron.If I have more than one media player installed for Firefox,will those other media players interfere with the others ?18:58
Sachse_Siechtumfaron, no.....normally the media player you installed first will be used in firefox18:59
Sachse_Siechtumfaron, if you wanna change it, you can do it in "manage content plugins" in Firefox19:01
faronAh,okay.I've been confused...IF I did have several different players installed I have been under the impression that whateversite I went to would pick the media player to use...Is this the cse ? & thanks for replying19:02
faroncse=case19:02
faronI've been under the impression that having more than one player installed might possibly confuse things19:03
faronAnd,whatever site I went to might not know the best player to use19:04
faronI'm just soooooooooo confuseds by this whole issue !:-/19:05
faronAnd,how about this...instead of using Adobes flash player,is it possible to use  a different player to play flash videos ?19:08
TheSheep!gnash19:08
ubottuAn open source flash replacement.  It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/19:08
Sysii've heard that swfdec is better, still it's not very good :/19:20

nightrid3rhi, i need to do an offline install of xubuntu in french, how can this be done ?20:47
charlie-tcaUse the daily or alternate cd, unplug the internet cable20:49
charlie-tcaboth cd's allow offline installations20:49
Myrtticharlie-tca: but the cd's don't include the french language packages20:50
* charlie-tca looks up20:50
nightrid3rand thats the problem :)20:50
charlie-tcaoops20:50
charlie-tcaMyrtti is right, too20:50
charlie-tcaYou would have to localize the cd. or download the Ubuntu DVD, and use it. It should have the language packs on it. After installing, add xubuntu-desktop20:51
nightrid3ri need to reanimate an old pc and there is no internet connection, so i need to find a way to get french language from a cybercafe20:51
charlie-tcayup20:52
charlie-tcaYou should be able to from the Ubuntu DVD20:52
nightrid3rand xubuntu is on the dvd to ?20:52
charlie-tcaI don't remember for sure. But the xubuntu desktop pagkage is20:52
nightrid3rok i'll try that20:53
nightrid3rthanks20:53
charlie-tcagood luck20:53
Myrttithere is another option20:53
Myrttiyou can use the live cd and launch synaptic20:53
Myrttipick the language packages, then use the function to create a download script20:54
Myrttisave the script to a usb memory stick you can take to the cybercafe - and use it do download the language packages20:54
Myrttior if the script doesn't work, then you can atleast use it as a list of packages you need to manually download and save to the usb disc20:55
Myrttiafter using the cd to install the actual system, you can then use the usb memory stick with the packages downloaded to it to install french language support20:55

faronand thanks again sysi22:35
knomefwiw, i've understood that you can get most of the popular flash sites working with non-adobe, but it's not really stable/solid.22:35
faronyou always try & that is so much appreciated in todays world22:35
knomeand that the free packages tend to break now and then when the sites renew their systems22:36
faronthat last part I know............22:36
David-Afaron: you might need add-ons NoScript and FlashBlock (or AdBlockPlus) on an OLD PC.22:36
David-AI do22:36
faronyeah I had that till vers 3.6 install of firefox22:37
faronfirefox said it didn't like noscript anymore22:37
faronif I have more than 1 plugin installed for firefox flash will firefox get confused ?22:38
