| ubottu | totoro: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 00:32 |
| totoro | sysi: i have those already, but it doesn't work | 00:34 |
| Sysi | have you set those to be in use? | 00:34 |
| Sysi | with ccsm | 00:35 |
| totoro | yes, they are in use | 00:35 |
| totoro | but they don't take effect | 00:35 |
| Sysi | does any effects work? | 00:35 |
| totoro | no.. | 00:36 |
| totoro | i have the drivers installed, and it worked fine on gnome, compiz and everything | 00:36 |
| Sysi | compiz and xfce can be tricky combination | 00:37 |
| totoro | ah, it takes some editing? | 00:38 |
| totoro | i'm not sure how to do that... | 00:38 |
| Sysi | google knows | 00:38 |
| Sysi | i tried it long enough to see that it won't work with xfwm4 window borders and is irritating to configure | 00:39 |

| SoBe | hi guys | 06:49 |
| SoBe | i need help | 06:50 |
| SoBe | setting up dialup | 06:51 |
| SoBe | ????? | 06:52 |
| lighta | ask your question | 06:54 |
| SoBe | i wanna set up dailup using the instructions that come with xubuntu | 06:56 |
| SoBe | i got scanmodem | 06:56 |
| SoBe | but it says i need gedit | 06:56 |
| SoBe | where should i get that from | 06:57 |
| SoBe | and when i want to install gnome network admin, theres an error | 07:02 |
| SoBe | it says "error: dependency is not satisfiable: libiw29 (>= 28+29pre7)" | 07:03 |
| SoBe | can anybody help me please | 07:03 |
| pleia2 | SoBe: gedit is just a text editor, it should be under Accessories | 07:04 |
| SoBe | it says i dont have it | 07:05 |
| pleia2 | unfortunately I can't really help with dial-up | 07:05 |
| SoBe | the only problem is getting gedit and i dont know what that error means | 07:06 |
| pleia2 | libiw29 is a package (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libiw29), and for some reason you can't get the right version | 07:08 |
| pleia2 | how are you installing gnome network admin? | 07:08 |
| SoBe | so theres nothing i can do? | 07:08 |
| SoBe | uhm | 07:08 |
| SoBe | the installing thing | 07:09 |
| SoBe | its a .deb so i just double click it and it opens the installation box | 07:09 |
| SoBe | but the error comes up | 07:09 |
| SoBe | and i cant install it | 07:10 |
| pleia2 | SoBe: gnome network manager depends on a lot of other things, are you online with this machine? | 07:12 |
| SoBe | no i use dialup | 07:13 |
| pleia2 | that's going to be tricky then | 07:13 |
| pleia2 | if you really need gnome network manager, there are a lot of packages you need to download and install on the machine | 07:13 |
| pleia2 | including libiw29 | 07:13 |
| SoBe | and i need gnome network manager to use gnome network admin? | 07:14 |
| pleia2 | I think so, I'm not all that familiar with it | 07:14 |
| SoBe | oh | 07:15 |
| SoBe | then im screwed | 07:15 |
| pleia2 | is there any way you can get online elsewhere just to download the packages? | 07:15 |
| SoBe | no its dual booted on my desktop | 07:15 |
| SoBe | i could use my dad's laptop to get the packages, put em in my usb, and transfer them over | 07:16 |
| pleia2 | yeah, that's really difficult because it depends on a lot of things | 07:17 |
| SoBe | but until the weekend | 07:17 |
| SoBe | about how much would that be in size? | 07:17 |
| pleia2 | I'm really not sure | 07:17 |
| pleia2 | sorry :\ | 07:18 |
| SoBe | well my dad has fast internet | 07:18 |
| SoBe | it wouldnt be too hard to put the files in my usb flash drive | 07:18 |
| SoBe | then transfer and install | 07:18 |
| SoBe | by the way im using xubuntu | 07:19 |
| SoBe | are there links to download these packages? | 07:20 |
| SoBe | ? | 07:21 |
| pleia2 | SoBe: do you have a regular ubuntu cd? that comes with network manager so you can probably add the cd to synaptic and install it from there | 07:23 |
| pleia2 | unfortunately it's late here, time for me to head to bed | 07:24 |
| SoBe | yeah i have a regular ubuntu cd | 07:24 |
| SoBe | what's synaptic? | 07:25 |
| SoBe | so ubuntu has all the packages? | 07:25 |
| SoBe | okay | 07:34 |
| SoBe | alright so can i install gnome network manager from an ubuntu cd using synaptic package manager? | 07:41 |

| narfjebus | hi all | 19:03 |
| narfjebus | i got a very annoying problem, since i installed xubuntu 10.04 on hardware that worked flawlessly with 9.10 and earlies releases, my mouse or keyboard suddenly begin to stutter or stop operation completely | 19:05 |
| narfjebus | this happens even while there is absolutely no userinteraction with the system and the problem persists until reboot - this is driving me crazy as it may happen several times a day | 19:06 |
| Sysi | are they wireless, usb or ps2? | 19:07 |
| narfjebus | the mouse is a wired USB mouse, the keyboard is PS/2 | 19:08 |
| narfjebus | changing USB ports didn't work, btw. | 19:09 |
| narfjebus | so there's no idea about that odd problem? | 19:16 |
| narfjebus | hell yeah, it just happened again ... | 19:19 |
| narfjebus | jesus christ, i'm even thinking of simply installing a MSDNAA Windows 7 :( | 19:19 |
| likemindead | Xfce isn't notifying me when my battery gets low. :-\ | 19:39 |
| schlaftier | seems his battery's empty... seriously: why do people always leave when I'm about to answer them :( | 19:51 |
