[02:20] <ApsleyGuy> hello first time trying this
[02:21] <ApsleyGuy> new user to ubuntu and have lots of questions to bore someone with
[02:25] <ApsleyGuy> how do i ask someone a question
[03:26] <magik> yo
[05:08] <steven> How do I disable my touchpad in Xubuntu?
[06:49] <alkisg_web> What's the correct package to install xubuntu? `apt-get install xubuntu-desktop` or `apt-get install xfce4`?
[06:56] <bazhang> the former, if you mean from a gnome or kde install
[07:21] <sky_> hello, is anyone there?
[07:25] <alkisg_web> Thank you bazhang, I meant from a non-gui system (e.g. from the server installation)
[08:18] <visitor1> what filesystem uses a dvd rom?
[08:19] <visitor1> gam server is again playing up and i guess i need to modify the default settings
[08:21] <TheSheep> visitor1: iso 9660

[10:19] <iamm> hi my network manager status was disconnected but i was able to surf the internet, anyone could help me?
[11:56] <slow-motion> hi
[12:07] <_Anthony> hello
[14:10] <knome> hey charlie-tca, sent you email about vbox usb in lucid
[14:10] <charlie-tca> Got it, too. Thanks
[14:10] <knome> np
[14:10] <charlie-tca> I can't believe it is that easy!
[14:10] <knome> did it work?
[14:11] <charlie-tca> Haven't tried yet. I had to try to recover 40GB data from a windows system that crashed
[14:11] <knome> ahh, okay
[14:11] <knome> i'm not sure if you have to, but you might have to update the usb driver on windows as well
[14:11] <knome> (the usb controller)
[14:12] <charlie-tca> No, I slaved the drive in and did the recovery in xubuntu
[14:13] <knome> no, i meant the usb in vbox :P
[14:13] <charlie-tca> oh. Okay
[14:13] <knome> but if possible, try without updating first, and see if it works
[14:13] <knome> and tell me the results
[14:14] <knome> i could blog about it, but want to be sure if you need that step or not
[14:14] <charlie-tca> Okay, I will try to do that today
[14:16] <knome> also, can i pm you?
[14:16] <knome> i need assistance in understanding english *correctly*
[14:20] <charlie-tca> yes
[14:20] <charlie-tca> of course
[14:50] <Kangarooo> i want to make xubuntu accesible with one user name from other computers or at least by 2 user names from 2 pcs. as ive read in http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5229232&postcount=458 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4963842&postcount=1 its not anymore possible since theres no login settings as they used to be
[14:56] <Kangarooo> is it now possible to make XDMCP work?
[14:59] <knome> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1471703
[15:09] <Sysi> great, now i can use that too
[15:11] <Kangarooo> hmm ok that worked at least. ill try that again on anothere system on one system it didnt work good- showed only terminal (maybe becouse i messed up /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas tryng to get it work)
[15:11] <Kangarooo> Sysi: if ull try that now tell me also if all showed fine.
[16:22] <wendigu> :0
[16:23] <wendigu> finally ;]
[16:25] <wendigu> any1 alive ?
[16:25] <Sysi> !ask
[17:39] <slow-motion> bye
[19:15] <Kangarooo> xubuntu using any kind of compositing
[19:15] <Kangarooo> ?
[19:15] <vinnl> Kangarooo, not by default
[19:16] <Sysi> settings → window manager tweaks
[19:21] <Kangarooo> ah yes found thx
[21:22] <owen1> i want to replace the nm-applet with wicd. how to make sure nm-applet will not run on boot?
[21:23] <vinnl> owen1, I think you can install BootUp-Manager
[21:23] <knome> owen1, if you install wicd, nm-applet will be removed
[21:24] <owen1> knome: without installing bootup-managerL
[21:24] <owen1> ?
[21:25] <owen1> another question -
[21:25] <owen1> is WEP shared/restricted means 40/128-bit key or 128-bit Passphrase?
[21:25] <knome> owen1, yes, as long as you install wicd from a repository
[21:25] <owen1> (i use wicd on one laptop and nm-applet on another)
[21:26] <knome> owen1, i've no idea, but you shouldn't use WEP if possible
[21:27] <Sysi> wep is mostly just for look
[21:27] <owen1> Sysi: what should i use?
[21:28] <Sysi> wpa
[21:28] <owen1> ok. i see 3 options for wpa
[21:28] <owen1> TKIP,
[21:28] <owen1> AES
[21:28] <owen1> [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]
[21:33] <owen1> knome: i installed wicd, reboot, and i see both nm-applet and wicd.
[21:33] <knome> owen1, sudo apt-get remove network-manager network-manager-gnome
[21:34] <owen1> ok
[21:40] <steven__> I have installed xubuntu 10.04 on my dell mini 10. best flavor of ubuntu i've tried so far. video is kinda sad though. Can anyone help?
[21:42] <Sysi> sad?
[21:42] <steven__> yeah, choppy when i watch vlc or mplayer. choppy even when scrolling in FF
[21:43] <steven__> glxgears shows frame rates dropping to 35-40 when watching video
[21:44] <steven__> flash works, but choppy as well. I can stream radio through pandora, but youtube is pretty bad
[21:45] <vinnl> Have you checked whether restricted drivers are available?
[21:45] <Sysi> flash is pretty bad, netbooks aren't any high-end machines
[21:46] <steven__> yeah, there is not. there was a fix for ubuntu 9.04 which fixed resolution, but was still slow/choppy. I have not seen any drivers for 10.04
[21:48] <steven__> for sure they are not high end machines. I thought i'd give ubuntu a shot. had it on an old laptop and loved it. I was able to play videos fine with xp. I really don't want to go back to that though.
[21:53] <steven__> i installed driconf to try to disable vblank but am totally lost on how to do this.
[23:24] <wendigu> c-c-c-combo breaker !
[23:24] <wendigu> :0
[23:24] <wendigu> not here
[23:25] <wendigu> :<
[23:25] <vinnl> :P
[23:26] <wendigu> :)
[23:26] <wendigu> u have also problems with jdownloader ? its workin very slow
[23:27] <vinnl> I've never heard of the thing, but it sounds like a Java application, and Java applications have issues with performance more often
[23:27] <wendigu> hmm
[23:27] <MalkavianManiac> jdownloader is a java download client / accelerator
[23:28] <wendigu> coz i was lookin for program to downloadin files from rapidshare etc. Found tucan but it didnt work
[23:28] <wendigu> :)
[23:28] <vinnl> I like the Firefox extension DownThemAll
[23:28] <wendigu> use swiftfox instead :P
[23:28] <wendigu> its based on firefox engine but a few times faster
[23:46] <wendigu> hmm - be creative and tell me as many advantages linux have. Im writin bechelor work about administration using free sotfware and any helps will be helpful :)
[23:46] <vinnl> There are many articles written on that, I recall a recent one from crunchbang.org I believe
[23:51] <wendigu> hmm...advantages in network administration meanin, arguments "like-windows so moving on linux will be easy" or "faster" are not well enough :P
[23:51] <vinnl> Search for better articles ;-)
[23:54] <wendigu> ah i forgot - im lookin also for toplist of most well-known and best network hardware, found one ranking on spiceworks.com but its not very good - only 300 votes about :C
[23:54] <wendigu> its hard to find something about it
[23:58] <wendigu> if u find something tell me plox
