[08:51] not afaik visitor1 ... [08:54] i just changed to single click in thunar becuase of the bug but i cant change it for the desktop icons [08:59] visitor1: just put the launchers on your panel instead [08:59] visitor1: desktop should be clear anyways :) [09:04] +1 [10:41] What CD-burning program is recommended for use in xubuntu? [10:43] !info xfburn [10:43] xfburn (source: xfburn): CD-burner application for Xfce Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.3-1 (lucid), package size 431 kB, installed size 1924 kB [10:44] frnknstn: I use k3b here myself [10:44] I use gnomebaker...integrates nicely with Xubuntu [10:45] It's gtk too [10:46] cool, thanks [15:08] hi [15:33] Ello [15:34] I enabled the nvidia driver from the restricted driver manager and for some reason it fails to load, any ideas on debugging it? [15:35] Hmm... I've never had a problem with it. [15:35] What's the hardware? [15:36] (or where the log file is for the nvidia driver) [15:43] an acer AR1600-U910H [15:44] But what is the NVIDIA hardware? [15:46] stupid wifi... [15:46] nVidia Corporation ION LE VGA [15:50] I got it working by reinstalling the driver [15:50] Oh, good! [15:52] first run slackware and black screen, what is the command to run xorg or other graphic mode ? [15:53] You're dual booting Xubuntu and Slackware? [15:54] only one, Slackware [15:54] Well... head to #slackware then... [15:55] ok [15:55] thanks [15:56] Or just install Xubuntu! :D [16:01] my computer: Duron 650, 256 RAM and i installed Xubuntu, but is too slow work [16:02] Ah. [16:02] antiX or CrunchBang would be my choice, then. [16:03] !lubuntu [16:03] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [16:33] hello, i'm a semi-convert to linux just recently and i've managed to install xubuntu karmic on a lenovo s10-2, side by side with windows but having problems w/ the wifi driver [16:33] the ISO i've downloaded doesn't come w/ b43fwcutter or the bcmwl ? [16:35] iamm: could you open a terminal and run: lshw -C network [16:35] so instead i've downloaded fwcutter but doesn't activate even w/ a restart. and the bcmwl kernel doesn't pursued to install giving me an error in downloading, but i've downloadd it from the repositories [16:37] i'm currently using the winxp here though... :/ [16:37] ah I see [16:37] there are a couple of threads in the forums though [16:37] I just did a quick Google search and tons of pages turned up [16:38] for your specific hardware, there seems to be a workaround [16:39] yes i've checked, but those drivers same w/ xubuntu? doesn't seem to work on mine... as i've downloaded the 2 drivers like on above [16:39] one was installed but doesn't activate, and the other doesn't install at all... [16:40] There is no big difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu, so anything that's not related to the interface should work on Xubuntu, too [16:41] maybe try asking in #ubuntu (more people there) [16:41] i see.. [16:41] thanks for the infos [16:49] I'd upgrade to 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), iamm. That alone may fix your issue. [16:57] okay i'll try thanks. could i possibly upgrade from the new ISO i've downloaded, through Update Manager? [16:59] Yes. [17:00] iamm: http://www.geekazine.com/news/franks-thoughts/upgrading-ubuntu-karmic-koala-to-lucid-lynx [17:02] thanks a lot [17:02] Good too: http://qwertyweb.blogspot.com/2010/05/update-ubuntu-karmic-to-lucid.html [17:05] ah this is perfect, for offline upgrade :) thanks thanks [17:08] GIYF! :D === FFForever is now known as FFForever-Away [18:19] http://elkbuntu.net/ubuntuwomen/ vote for the world play day competition [19:21] is there a basic calendar widget? you know like when you double click the system tray clock in windows? [19:21] and cal in a terminal is a bit too basic [19:22] i'd like to at least be able to flip back and forth between months [19:25] MrNaz: yes, it is called orage and is in the menu applications -> Office -> Orage [19:26] If you install 'orage clock' in the panel, you can click it to dropdown the monthly calendar, click again to disappear it [19:27] I replace the existing panel clock with 'orage clock' here [19:31] I keep both and have the clock set to analogue and Orage shows the current date and weekday [19:31] charlie-tca: thanks for your comment on that bug report, I went back to the original repositories now [19:32] Can't say if it fixed the freeze for me, though. It still freezes but there might be some piece of exo lurking in RAM somewhere and I really can't reboot or log out right now. [19:33] yup [19:33] Keeping my fingers crossed. It worked well for me on both 32bit and 64bit [19:34] If not, I'll use the PPA again because that fixed it *and* added to Thunar's sidebar. (Just that minor exo-open issue) [19:34] That will work, too [19:37] hi! ok, so the fireflies from xubuntu gdm artwork of karmid are gone in lucid. how can i get them back? ( 2) why on earth is that fascinating stuff is gone? ) [19:38] naxa: go back to karmic? [19:38] charlie-tca, no way! [19:38] I hate karmic anyways. if I go back that would be jaunty [19:38] The applications used to boot changed, and the same splash screens were incompatible [19:38] or at least, not able to be used [19:39] charlie-tca, but i thought karmic used the same gdm as lucid? [19:39] the big shift was between jaunty and karmic [19:39] but lucid is using plymouth and xsplash instead of usplash [19:39] and exactly that's why i love jaunty and hate poor karmic :) [19:39] charlie-tca, well is that anything to do with the gdm? [19:40] yes [19:40] i see [19:40] it changes the interactions [19:40] were the fireflies gdm stuff? [19:40] or usplash? [19:40] not sure [19:40] i think they were fascinating [19:41] anyway I think that it's a pain that the new gdm and new splash does not support the level of creativity the old ones do [19:41] naxa, the fireflies were xsplash [19:41] ochosi, i see. [19:42] charlie-tca, ochosi in that case they could be used in lucid, too? [19:42] i guess, if you really want an additional splash... [19:43] now where can I find the package? what is the name? :) [19:43] xsplash? [19:43] well I guess it's something like xubuntu-artwork-xplash or something like this [19:43] s [19:44] yeah [19:44] any clue of why are they gone? [19:44] I would like to point out for somebody somewhere that I've found them fascinating and I miiss them a lot [19:44] xsplash is not supposed to be installed by default in xubuntu [19:45] I loved the fireflies too and find it sad they're gone [19:45] But then again, I see the login screen rarely (all hibernate and suspend for me) [19:46] the credits on the fireflies go to madsrh, http://anotherubuntu.blogspot.com/ [19:48] schlaftier, well, one thing I don't accept is arguments like "oh it doesnt matter the user would rarely seen the login screen anyway" :) [19:48] knome, thanks for the information [19:49] schlaftier, I tend to think that the creativity of the members of the community is a big advantage of linux and open source stuff in general and that it should be taken seriously, not ripped off [19:49] naxa: That was not meant to be an argument. It was just to say that I, personally, can do without the fireflies [19:49] naxa: Would you please read my _first_ line too, instead of accusing me? I'm on _your_ side on this issue. [19:50] :P [19:50] schlaftier, I see! and i didn't want to talk "against you", it's just you rang the bell and I started to talk in general [19:50] naxa: fair enough :) [19:51] I hope it's not too hard to get xsplash running again [19:51] schlaftier, sorry if this seemed like an attack [19:51] knome: do you know if there is a way to replace the current splash screen with the karmic screen? [19:51] charlie-tca, no, i don't [19:51] charlie-tca, as said, the fireflies we're xsplash [19:51] charlie-tca, and we're not using that anymore [19:51] naxa: No problem, I was just like "hey, fair point, but why is naxa talking to me personally" :) [19:51] also, I would like to communicate to the creators of xubuntu that we miss the fireflies... how can this be done? [19:52] you have [19:52] schlaftier, yeah sorry. :D [19:52] naxa, point taken. :) [19:52] charlie-tca, you mean it's just happened here right now? [19:53] knome: can I pm you? [19:53] naxa, yes he does [19:53] charlie-tca, sure [19:53] yes, naxa [19:53] charlie-tca, knome great! i am happy! :) [19:55] knome: pm me [20:06] does xubuntu have the same grub problems as ubuntu, with people not being able to boot after the upgrade to 10.04 [20:07] Depends on what you mean, exactly. Upgrading from Ubuntu/xubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 should not be a problem [20:07] Upgrading in windows seems to be different [20:08] Windows dual boot may have issues, yes [20:08] i upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and there was no problem. I already used grub2 (or whatever, the new grub) in 9.10 [20:09] so it only happens when it switches to a new grub? [20:09] well I do remember that in 9.10 getting grub2 done wasn't that trivial, maybe [20:09] but I can't really reacall [20:09] no, it happens if you have windows installed [20:10] how can I check my grub version? [20:10] charlie-tca, are you saying that if I have a dualboot, I will have that same problem with every upgrade? [20:10] do you get a menu when booting? [20:10] plouffe, it seems (charlie-tca tells that) it's nothing to do with the grub version. sorry, I think I've just mislead you. listen to charlie-tca he is far more experienced than I am :) [20:11] charlie-tca, , I do get a menu now. I did fresh install of xubuntu 9.10 recently [20:11] plouffe: no, I am saying that at this time, there seems to be a problem with upgrading when dual booting windows [20:12] If you get a menu, it should have a line like "menu version 1.97~" or so across the top [20:13] charlie-tca, what about "sudo grub-setup --version" [20:13] sure, if it works. I am by no means an expert on these things [20:13] 1.97~beta4 [20:13] so not grub2 yet? [20:14] charlie-tca, well i don't know if it tells the truth but mine is 1.98-1ubuntu6 [20:14] hm but I'm pretty sure i did installed the grub2. hm [20:14] plouffe: you are on 9.10, right? naxa: you are on 10.04? [20:14] charlie-tca, it's 10.04 here, yes [20:14] charlie-tca, yes 9.10 [20:14] Both are grub2 [20:15] ok [20:15] misleadinf the version info it is [20:15] g [20:15] plouffe: I can't find the bug right now, on the upgrade when dual booting [20:15] charlie-tca, but there would still be problems with the upgrade? It took me one day to boot back into ubuntu after upgrading to 9.10 [20:16] Those without windows don't seem to be affected, other than the ubuntu desktop / kubuntu desktop / xubuntu desktop installed bug [20:16] but since I've installed xubuntu a lot of my problems (sound, wifi, etc) disappeared [20:16] Some people with windows dual boot have reported issues upgrading to 10.04 [20:18] plouffe, I don't know if it is possible with you but I tend to think that it's better to keep a "test-ubuntu" on the computer and first try every upgrade on the test-ubuntu [20:18] so i mean I prefer if one has two ubuntus, one for daily life and one for testing [20:19] there will be a ubuntu 10.04.1 also, in about 4 months [20:19] That will probably have the issues seen now fixed [20:22] well it's the same with windows with me. I tend to think there is no need to hastle into the new version. better try it on another partition first... [20:23] i ended up with ubuntu 10.04 and winxp dual booting [20:24] by hastle i mean "rush" :) [20:49] Why might it be that I have no 'suspend' or 'hibernate' option in power manager? Something need to be installed? [20:52] (i don't know:( ) [20:55] edakiri: how many channels are you asking in? [20:56] 2. Am I forgetting any? I should have asked in this one first, but it did not occur to me until I already asked in #XFCE. [20:56] If you ask in more than one at time, you could get banned... [20:57] They are both relevant channels. If I don't get an answer, it's not redundant. [20:57] though this channel is more relevant, i think [20:57] I don't really know anything about suspend and hibernate, unfortunately. Please be patient, there are many people here that may know. [20:58] What version of xubuntu are you using/ [20:58] ? [20:58] 10.04 : LL [20:59] check if power manager is installed - apt-cache policy xfce4-power-manager [20:59] also, do you have gnome-power-manager installed? If so, it may be a conflict [21:04] xfce4-power-manager is installed and gnome-power-manager not. [21:04] which version? [21:05] 0.8.4.2-1ubuntu5 [21:06] I have acpi-support and pm-utils installed. Could that be a conflict? [21:07] might be a permission problem, with consolekit === FFForever-Away is now known as FFForever [21:26] bye [21:27] FFForever, please do not use awaynicks [21:34] knome, :( ok ill update znc later [21:34] (before I dc) [21:34] FFForever, cheers. have a nice day! :) === FFForever is now known as FFForever-Away
