[06:06] <knuckleheadTech> hello all
[06:08] <knuckleheadTech> anyone know how to help me setup dual monitors
[06:08] <knuckleheadTech> Usually dont have a problem but can't get it to work
[06:09] <bazhang> using xrandr?
[06:10] <knuckleheadTech> I installed lxrandr but I am stuck in clone display
[06:15] <xubuntu511> can Itunes be installed or can the music application in xubuntu be used with an Ipod
[06:15] <xubuntu511> ?
[06:16] <bazhang> iTunes perhaps with wine; depends on the iPod but rhythmbox works here
[06:16] <bazhang> check the appdb for iTunes and /join #winehq
[06:16] <knuckleheadTech> as far as I know you can use play on linux for itunes
[06:16] <bazhang> !abbdb
[06:16] <bazhang> whoops
[06:16] <bazhang> !appdb
[06:19] <xubuntu511> thank you
[06:21] <knuckleheadTech> ok, two monitors supporting different resolutions, on an ati 9250 card, any idea on how to extend the desktop accross both
[06:42] <Ileden> Hi! I'm using a lot of application shortcuts from the xfce keyboard settings menu. However, I would like to run one of my own scripts via a keyboard command - how can I run a command so that the execution opens in a terminal window, so I get to see the output? Also, is there a way to make that window close automatically after the script has run?
[07:57] <nikolam> why xfce tends to revive all apps that were active when i did shut down the system?
[07:58] <nikolam> Alslo I think it just changed my window manager setting when i shut it sdown last night..
[07:58] <JairunCaloth> disable save session on logout for the first one
[08:00] <nikolam> but why would it save things that i did not set? like changing window manager and number of workspaces and such things
[08:01] <nikolam> and why it is displaying gnome desktop instead of xfdesktop all the time
[08:01] <nikolam> is gnome desktop now always active behind xfdesktop??
[08:04] <nikolam> also every time I start an app from command line, i get message about "something about Murrina storm cloud theme is not supported"
[09:08] <liljan> hi guys.. gotta try install xubuntu on an older computer.. the thing is that the computer only have about 128mb and minimum requirements need 192.. but there is some info about "The Alternate install Cd" but i cannot find it on the website...? http://xubuntu.org/get
[09:11] <moetunes> !alternate
[09:11] <liljan> thanks!
[09:14] <moetunes> liljan: sorry but that link doesn't have the xubuntu altermate cd - try http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/lucid/release/
[09:15] <moetunes> it would be handy if that botlink was changed to reflect the channel we are in...
[09:18] <Ileden> How long should I wait before asking a question again?
[09:19] <moetunes> 5 min maybe...
[09:20] <Ileden> ok :)

[09:21] <moetunes> Ileden: try   xterm -e /path/to/script   as the shortcut command
[09:22] <Ileden> moetunes: That's it, thanks!
[09:24] <moetunes> :]
[10:10] <ping__luce> hi, is there a way to access a xfce pane through ssh (with -X option) ?
[11:41] <canyouhelpme> #xubuntu
[11:42] <canyouhelpme> hello?
[11:42] <canyouhelpme> #help
[11:53] <canyouhelpme> hello?
[12:02] <liljan> ... u might tell your problem....then they mabybe can help you.
[12:29] <canyouhelpme> are you still here?
[12:30] <bazhang> canyouhelpme, ask a question
[12:30] <bazhang> if someone knows, they will answer
[12:31] <canyouhelpme> my xubuntu doesn't support a higher resolution than 800x600
[12:32] <canyouhelpme> the internet told me, i should edit xorg.conf in /etc/X11, but there's no xorg.conf.
[12:32] <bazhang> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[12:32] <canyouhelpme> thank you very much, i will try it now.
[12:37] <canyouhelpme> should I follow the steps in "adding undetected resolutions"?
[12:37] <bazhang> sure, give it a shot
[12:40] <canyouhelpme> ok. i typed in the console: " $ xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600" but it returns me: "$: command not found"
[12:41] <bazhang> you already have that resolution, correct? try creating a newmode
[12:41] <canyouhelpme> ok, thank you.
[12:44] <canyouhelpme> now i tried: " $ xrandr --addmode S-video 1280x800" and it returned "$: command not found" again.
[12:49] <knome> canyouhelpme, do not type the $
[12:49] <knome> canyouhelpme, the command should start with "xrandr"
[12:50] <canyouhelpme> ok
[12:51] <canyouhelpme> now it returns me: "xrandr: cannot find output 'S-video'"
[12:52] <canyouhelpme> i don't have any S-video output... could this be the problem?
[12:52] <knome> yes.
[12:53] <canyouhelpme> what should i type instead of "S-video"?
[12:55] <knome> canyouhelpme, try 'xrandr -q' to see the correct output
[12:55] <canyouhelpme> ok.
[12:55] <knome> canyouhelpme, should read "*something* connected ..."
[12:56] <canyouhelpme> default connected
[12:56] <knome> the try default instead of S-video
[12:56] <canyouhelpme> ok. thank you
[12:57] <canyouhelpme> now: "xrandr: cannot find mode "1280x800"
[12:58] <canyouhelpme> now i have to create it?
[12:59] <canyouhelpme> with   "xrandr --newmode <Mode``Line>"?
[13:07] <knome> canyouhelpme, i suppose so
[13:08] <knome> canyouhelpme, see the output of 'xrandr --help' for the syntax you need to use
[13:08] <canyouhelpme> ok
[13:12] <canyouhelpme> it returns "--newmode <name> <clock MHz> <hdisp> <hsync-start> <hsync-end> <htotal> <vdisp> <vsync-start> <vsync-end> <vtotal> [+HSync] [-HSync] [+VSync] [-VSync]
[13:12] <knome> yes
[13:13] <canyouhelpme> and now i have to input all these things?
[13:13] <knome> canyouhelpme, see the "Adding undetected resolutions" -section in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[13:13] <canyouhelpme> ok.
[13:25] <canyouhelpme> i followed the steps and after the input of: "xrandr --newmode "800x600_60.00" ........ " it returned me: "X error of failed request: BadName (named after color or font does not exist) Major Opcode of failed request: 150 (RANDR) Minor opc
[13:25] <canyouhelpme> Minor Opcode of failed request: 16 (RRCreateMode)
[13:26] <canyouhelpme> Serial number of failed request: 18
[13:26] <knome> !pastebin | canyouhelpme
[13:27] <knome> i don't know how to proceed though, i've neved added a mode with xrandr
[13:27] <canyouhelpme> ok.
[13:28] <canyouhelpme> ok. i think the resolution is not so important.
[13:29] <knome> i'm sure you'd get it working with patience
[13:30] <canyouhelpme> i think so too.
[13:30] <canyouhelpme> but my usb-flashdrive doesn't get recognised.
[13:54] <canyouhelpme> can someone help me, please?
[13:56] <canyouhelpme> my usb-ports seem to have no power.
[14:07] <canyouhelpme> my usb-ports seem to have no power. what should i do now?
[14:08] <knome> !patience | canyouhelpme
[14:08] <canyouhelpme> ok. thank you
[16:16] <alok_> hello
[16:16] <alok_> can anyone help me with setting up a network proxy in xubuntu
[16:18] <charlie-tca> !proxy
[16:25] <ayush27> Hello, I need help. What are the recommended specs for Xubuntu (the latest one)?
[16:27] <charlie-tca> ayush27: listed here -
[16:27] <charlie-tca> http://xubuntu.org/getubuntu
[16:28] <ayush27> it doesn't sat anything about the processor. only RAM
[16:28] <ayush27> say*
[16:28] <charlie-tca> 400mhz minimum
[16:30] <ayush27> and recommended? I need to run all the standard applications like a web browser (with flash) , media players etc. would it run fine on a 700 Mhz?
[16:30] <ayush27> with 384 MB RAM
[16:30] <ayush27> or should i go for lubuntu?
[16:32] <charlie-tca> 700 should be fine.
[16:33] <charlie-tca> We don't give a recommended processor, because if the ram is high enough, the processor is fine
[16:33] <charlie-tca> Xubuntu runs with any processor 400mhz and higher
[16:36] <ayush27> alright thanks charlie-tca
[16:37] <charlie-tca> you are welcome
[16:43] <likemindead> ayush27, I have a 700MHz PIII with 1GB of RAM that loves Xubuntu. :D
[17:07] <ayush27> likemindead: it must be the RAM that makes it work fine. I've been going thru various linux forums and I guess xubuntu on a 700Mhz with 384MB RAM would not perform well
[17:10] <likemindead> Yeah, that'd be rough. Old RAM is cheap. Max out that sucker.
[17:10] <skit-lasse> xrandr was easy way to configure dual monitors to work the way i wanted, do this setup remain even if i restart my computer, ei. did xrandr write these settings somewhere?
[17:23] <ron_o> ayush27, it will perform, but not well at those speeds.
[17:24] <ron_o> you really have to be very selective in what apps you choose.
[17:24] <ron_o> and you must run fluxbox, no flash ...
[17:24] <ron_o> no applets..
[17:24] <ron_o> hell. you'
[17:24] <ron_o> hell,, you're almost a server. :)
[17:27] <charlie-tca> ron_o: actually, it will perform very well with xubuntu at 700mhz. The limiting factor will be the ram available
[17:28] <charlie-tca> I have run xubuntu lucid on a 400mhz cpu, with 640mb ram it works quite well
[17:28] <ron_o> charlie-tca, I guess you're right. I only had 384 or so of RAM.. but you're still limited no matter what.
[17:29] <ron_o> you're a better man than I. Actually, it's always like that. Some guys in the realworld need almost no tools to get things done, and other guys need everything.
[17:29] <ron_o> no different with computers.
[17:29] <charlie-tca> yes, with 384 of ram, you probably have only one application at a time running, sometimes you can two depending on what they are
[17:31] <ron_o> I did the numbers and realized that I could spend $200 upgrading my 1.2 GHz to get it working better or spend $1,000 for a new computer.
[17:31] <charlie-tca> It is the ram that matters, not the speed of the cpu. Given enough ram, you can run all the applications in it and it is as fast as you can do anything
[17:31] <ron_o> I chose the latter and haven't regretted it since.
[17:31] <ron_o> Yah..
[19:58] <Xubuntu_Newb> Hm, my computer was lagging a lot, so I forcifull restarded it by holding the power button. When I rebooted in Xubuntu, it was starting a disk check. Then when I logged in, I could see my desktop, and access applications, but my panel was completely gone!
[20:28] <likemindead> Anyone have a good Conky guide they'd recommend?
[20:50] <likemindead> !conky
