| Sappys | hello, what is the best php editor on xubuntu (bluefish and jedit - not for me)? | 00:45 |
| ephraim | can someone help me with a pcmcia card? | 03:09 |
| ephraim | rather a pcmcia card reader. I want to know how I can view it using the command line | 03:10 |
| ephraim | hi, how can I view a pcmcia card reader using the command line? | 03:11 |
| ryry46d9 | is this the question room? | 04:23 |
| nikolam | hm, how about having OO.org templates in thunar, again? | 08:13 |
| nikolam | like, right lick, new doument and not opening first writer and then painfully navigate to save to the dir. | 08:14 |
| well_laid_lawn | you can add that in ~/.config/Thunar/uca.xml if you want | 08:18 |
| well_laid_lawn | nikolam: ^^ | 08:19 |
| well_laid_lawn | adds an option to the right click menu | 08:19 |
| nikolam | hm. | 08:20 |
| nikolam | packages with uca.xml are thunar-data and xubuntu-default settings. In /etc/xdg/Thunar/uca.xml and /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/Thunar/uca.xml | 08:21 |
| well_laid_lawn | you don't already have a ~/.config/Thunar/uca.xml file? | 08:23 |
| nikolam | Nope. | 08:24 |
| nikolam | lucid/10.04 lts 64bit here | 08:24 |
| well_laid_lawn | xubuntu with Thunar though? | 08:24 |
| nikolam | aha. yes | 08:25 |
| well_laid_lawn | I would copy /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/Thunar/uca.xml to ~/.config/Thunar/uca.xml | 08:25 |
| well_laid_lawn | and hack away :] | 08:26 |
| nikolam | there must be something about that on xfce.org or something | 08:27 |
| nikolam | By the way.. every time I start command from command line (starting some gtk app) I get some crazy warning about murrina storm cloud theme etc. | 08:28 |
| nikolam | /usr/share/themes/MurrinaStormCloud/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:53: Murrine configuration option "scrollbar_color" is no longer supported and will be ignored. | 08:28 |
| Sysi | not critical | 08:28 |
| nikolam | I know. but looks annoying. suppose it might be fixed by editing that theme | 08:29 |
| well_laid_lawn | just an older theme is all - there must have been a gtk update that removed that as an option | 08:29 |
| knome | nikolam, just remove any lines containing scrollbar_color in the gtkrc file | 08:31 |
| knome | nikolam, = fix | 08:31 |
| nikolam | ok knome thanks :P | 08:31 |
| knome | np | 08:32 |
| Cael | i got an odd issue, out of the box i lose All video display once the 10.04 boots to live or install i have an Nvidia Geforce fx 5200 and an LG W2361V-PF monitor its native resolution is 1920x1080 but yet it still goes out of range. Any idea Why and how i can Actually install an functional version of xubuntu 10.04 ? | 09:43 |
| Sysi | you can use alternate install disc | 09:44 |
| well_laid_lawn | Cael: all I can suggest is an xorg.conf file with the right ranges in it | 09:45 |
| Cael | thing is i have Yet to install. | 09:45 |
| Cael | happens when i select "Try Ubuntu" or Install. | 09:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | Cael: and the burnt cd passed the md5 check? | 09:46 |
| Cael | yes | 09:46 |
| Cael | its been an issue since the beta. | 09:47 |
| well_laid_lawn | Cael: using a hdmi cable ? | 09:49 |
| Cael | vga. the FX5200 is too old to have hdmi | 09:50 |
| well_laid_lawn | k | 09:50 |
| Cael | this pc is connected via hdmi (i'm just too lazy to get the servers old monitor out.) | 09:50 |
| well_laid_lawn | Cael: can the 5200 do that res? | 09:51 |
| Cael | not super sure but this monitor does go as low as 800x600 | 09:51 |
| well_laid_lawn | k - it should show something then | 09:51 |
| Cael | when i tried the beta no matter the monitor it happened | 09:52 |
| Cael | (out of range) | 09:52 |
| Cael | hell our Multi-input tv does the same. (TV, AV x2 componet x2 VGAx1 HDMI x2) | 09:53 |
| Cael | and its a 50inch. | 09:53 |
| well_laid_lawn | pretty new monitors then Cael | 09:53 |
| well_laid_lawn | sounds like the driver might not have been updated for a while then - how you check that i don't know | 09:54 |
| Sysi | idk how nouveau works with older cards | 09:55 |
| Cael | i think it (the card) needs the legacy 175 drivers | 09:55 |
| well_laid_lawn | those should be on the nvidia site afaik | 09:55 |
| Cael | unless i edit the iso i'm still SOL | 09:56 |
| Cael | (and the alternate cd iso is still downloadin) | 09:56 |
| well_laid_lawn | heh :] - time for a coffee then... | 09:59 |
| Cael | you read my mind :P | 09:59 |
| Cael | <3 French vanilla w/ irsh cream Creamer. | 09:59 |
| * well_laid_lawn <-- jealous then :[ | 10:00 | |
| Sysi | i think there's boot option to force using vesa-driver | 10:00 |
| Cael | too bad the Legacy drivers dont offer accelerated OpenGL | 10:01 |
| Cael | instead of using the 2nd pc as a server, i would use it as an XBMC PC (based on ubuntu 9.04) | 10:02 |
| Cael | (though i love my xbox 1 w/ xbmc :3 next best thing to a pc connected to a tv or the AppleTV) | 10:05 |
| Cael | grrrr. | 10:40 |
| Cael | UltraISO refuses to do the checksum verify | 10:41 |
| Cael | dont know why it did before.. | 10:41 |
| scott__ | im using the open source ati drivers on a radeon 200M | 11:01 |
| scott__ | 3d runs smoothly | 11:01 |
| scott__ | but I get bad artifacts | 11:01 |
| scott__ | xubuntu 10.04 | 11:01 |

| Cael | ok i got it installed but a new prob arose. | 12:17 |
| Cael | i have a 320GB SATA hd din it via an SATA to IDE adapter. | 12:18 |
| Cael | aftre reboot Grup reporte d"Out of disk" and is in the grub rescuse prompt | 12:18 |
| Cael | thru installation i Did opt for the /home being encrypted | 12:19 |
| well_laid_lawn | it should boot even without /home/you | 12:21 |
| Cael | any reason its gioving me out of disk? | 12:22 |
| well_laid_lawn | it sounds like it needs a boot option like noapic but what I don't know | 12:22 |
| well_laid_lawn | an option for the sata to pata converter | 12:23 |
| Cael | its a simple one that connects to the pin port wher ethe Ribbon would normally go. | 12:24 |
| Cael | like this one here http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.706 | 12:26 |
| lozon | there's no way to change the icon of a symbolic link on the desktop, is there? | 13:17 |
| TheSheep | you can create your own icon theme | 13:19 |
| TheSheep | but I'd just use a .desktop file instead of a symbolic link | 13:19 |
| TheSheep | then you can use any icon you like | 13:19 |

| slow-motion | hi | 16:28 |
| Kangarooo | charlie-tca: ping | 17:47 |
| charlie-tca | yes? | 17:47 |
| Kangarooo | is it needed to make affectedd projects invalid when marking that a bug is dublicate of other bug? | 17:48 |
| charlie-tca | no | 17:48 |
| xubuntu286 | hello | 18:26 |
| xubuntu286 | What the defference of Ubuntu Kubuntu and Xubuntu is? | 18:26 |
| Sysi | !xfce | 18:27 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 18:27 |
| charlie-tca | Ubuntu uses gnome desktop environment, Kubuntu uses KDE, and Xubuntu uses Xfce | 18:27 |
| likemindead | Xfce is Teh Awesomenessest!!1! | 18:28 |
| charlie-tca | and it works, too | 18:29 |
| xubuntu286 | which one do you like? | 18:29 |
| likemindead | I've been tinkering a bit and now my Quit icon (on the panel) just logs me out rather than giving me any options... HALP? | 18:29 |
| charlie-tca | xubuntu286: you are in #xubuntu, most of the people in here will like Xubuntu | 18:30 |
| charlie-tca | People in #kubuntu will prefer Kubuntu, too | 18:31 |
| charlie-tca | likemindead: do you have a guest logged in? | 18:33 |
| likemindead | No, charlie-tca, I have no other users created, it's just me. | 19:09 |
| charlie-tca | Not ssh'd into anything, no tty logins? | 19:10 |
| likemindead | I think the problem arose after I did a "sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove" ... | 19:10 |
| likemindead | No & no. | 19:10 |
| likemindead | I | 19:10 |
| likemindead | I'm a fairly non-technical end user. ;-] | 19:10 |
| charlie-tca | weird... it should not remove that. | 19:10 |
| likemindead | It's not too big of a deal, just a minor annoyance. Any idea what I need to reinstall? | 19:11 |
| charlie-tca | but you know if you go to ctrl+alt+f?? and login. that will cause that to happen | 19:11 |
| charlie-tca | xfce4-session-logout | 19:12 |
| likemindead | I didn't know that, but I haven't done a Ctrl+Alt+Fx in a long time. Not since I ditched GNOME for Xfce. In GNOME, I'd have freezes somewhat regularly. ;-) | 19:12 |
| charlie-tca | heh | 19:12 |
| likemindead | E: Couldn't find package xfce4-session-logout | 19:13 |
| likemindead | Hmm... | 19:13 |
| charlie-tca | let me go looking again | 19:16 |
| charlie-tca | ooops it is part of xfce4-session | 19:18 |
| charlie-tca | or you could add "Action buttons" to the panel, and remove the button that is there | 19:19 |
| likemindead | That's what I was thinking too. Thanks. | 19:21 |
| charlie-tca | good luck | 19:21 |
| bitphazer | When I start my bluetooth my xubuntu 10.04 returns this "Connection to Bluez failed: Bluez daemon is not running, blueman-manager cannot continue. How can I start Bluez daemon? (asus 1000h) Thanks in advance! | 19:34 |
| xh | hi! for some reason the shortcut for changing the keyboard layout in xfce4 does not work after xorg is restarted; could someone please help? | 21:36 |
| charlie-tca | xh: known bug | 21:41 |
| xh | charlie-tca: is there a way around it? | 21:42 |
| charlie-tca | nope | 21:42 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe this is the bug? http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5205 | 21:45 |
| charlie-tca | I see you are asking in Xfce. I will let them answer then | 21:47 |
| Bashhead | Hello, anyone on? | 21:48 |
| TheSheep | no | 21:48 |
| xh | charlie-tca: yes, it looks like this is the bug; tho i don't have an xorg.conf - everything is handled by hal | 21:48 |
| Bashhead | i need help connecting xubuntu 10.04 to the internet | 21:49 |
| charlie-tca | no, Bashhead. Everybody here is offline today | 21:49 |
| Bashhead | well, yesterday it took a while for someone to answer back | 21:49 |
| charlie-tca | Yes, we are all volunteers and sometimes no one knows the answer and sometimes it takes a while to get time to give the answer if you do know it. | 21:50 |
| knome | yeah, we're actually all offline since we have problems with xubuntu and internet | 21:50 |
| charlie-tca | Almost no one is just sitting waiting for a question and has all the answers available to them | 21:51 |
| cody-somerville | give the guy a break :P | 21:51 |
| knome | cody-somerville, give US a break :P | 21:51 |
| cody-somerville | Bashhead, How are you attempting to connect to the internet? | 21:51 |
| Sysi | KICKBAN! | 21:51 |
| Sysi | :P | 21:51 |
| charlie-tca | did that yesterday, cody-somerville | 21:52 |
| knome | /kb Sysi | 21:52 |
| knome | oops | 21:52 |
| Besogon | Bashhead, What's happened? | 21:52 |
| knome | cody-somerville, charlie-tca: seems like our plan worked and unexpected support liners came up. including you, cody :P | 21:52 |
| Bashhead | through a wireless connection from my router | 21:53 |
| Besogon | Bashhead, xubuntu connect to any kind of network throug NetworkManager | 21:54 |
| Besogon | may be you set wrong options to that? | 21:54 |
| Bashhead | i can't find NetworkManger... | 21:55 |
| Bashhead | unless its the icon with two computers | 21:55 |
| knome | Bashhead, that's it. | 21:55 |
| Bashhead | so, i add a wireless connection? | 21:56 |
| Besogon | Bashhead, NM should detect your WiFi | 21:56 |
| Bashhead | but it didnt.... | 21:57 |
| Besogon | if it works of cource | 21:57 |
| Bashhead | the only thing that is filled in NM is wired which is "Auto eth0" | 21:57 |
| Besogon | yes that is | 21:58 |
| Besogon | You can rename that | 21:58 |
| Besogon | later | 21:58 |
| Besogon | but You should know options for your Wifi | 21:58 |
| Besogon | e.g. password | 21:58 |
| Bashhead | i do | 21:59 |
| knome | if no wireless networks show up even some should, it's probably something with the wireless driver. | 21:59 |
| Bashhead | is there a way to update or get a new driver? | 22:00 |
| Besogon | Bashhead, try "iwlist scanning' in console | 22:01 |
| Besogon | What model of the Wifi-card do you ave? | 22:02 |
| xh | make sure the wifi is turned on; and that the RFKill flag is enabled | 22:03 |
| Besogon | yes | 22:04 |
| Besogon | If you use wifi-card both for Windows and Linux then Windows can turn it off and linux can't use it. So you should boot in windows and turn the Wifi-card on before you shut down | 22:05 |
| xh | `rfkill list` will show if wifi is enabled both in hardware and software; often it is just a matter of pressing Fn key + <some Fxx key> so that wireless led lights up | 22:06 |
| Bashhead | i installed xubuntu over windows | 22:11 |
| Bashhead | when i rfkill list | 22:11 |
| Bashhead | soft blocked:no and Hard blocked:yes | 22:11 |
| Bashhead | hard block:no* | 22:11 |
| Besogon | so you see your problem | 22:12 |
| Bashhead | ..? | 22:12 |
| Besogon | Hard blocked:yes | 22:13 |
| xh | press the blue Fn key and find the right (usually in blue text) among the Fxx keys - it should have some kind of antenna | 22:13 |
| xh | e.g. on my netbook it is Fn + F11 - on your machine will probably be something different | 22:14 |
| Bashhead | Besogon, that was a mistype | 22:14 |
| Bashhead | xh, ive got an actual button for wireless, but when i press it, it doesnt do anything | 22:15 |
| Bashhead | it stays the same color(orange) | 22:15 |
| xh | Bashhead: and when it works (ie. in windows) it is green? | 22:16 |
| Bashhead | blue | 22:16 |
| xh | Bashhead: try pressing it several times - the number might matter :) | 22:16 |
| Besogon | so you have problems with driver | 22:16 |
| Bashhead | possibly... how would i go about fixing that | 22:17 |
| Besogon | First of all you should know the Wifi-hardware | 22:18 |
| Besogon | type 'sudo lshw' | 22:18 |
| Besogon | And find your vendor and all you can get for Wifi-vard | 22:18 |
| Pudabudigada | Hi all | 22:19 |
| Pudabudigada | How do I change my set time? | 22:19 |
| Besogon | may be command 'date' will help | 22:20 |
| Bashhead | am i looking for the network controller? | 22:20 |
| xh | Bashhead: i'd try booting some other live distro like the latest gnome- or kde-based ubuntu or mint, just to see if any of them detects your card; or just google the exact model for compatibility with linux | 22:20 |
| Bashhead | *-network DISABLED | 22:21 |
| Pudabudigada | I meant to modify what time it is | 22:21 |
| Pudabudigada | on my computer, of course. | 22:21 |
| Besogon | date - print or set the system date and time | 22:21 |
| Bashhead | i found the vendor and product info | 22:21 |
| Besogon | look man page | 22:21 |
| charlie-tca | Pudabudigada: try right-click the clock, left-click properties | 22:22 |
| Besogon | Bashhead, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported | 22:23 |
| xh | <Pudabudigada>: the best way is e.g. `sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com` | 22:23 |
| Pudabudigada | That just brings up appearence settings for the applet, I want to know how to modify the system clock (temporal clock, not any busses or proc) | 22:24 |
| Bashhead | BCM4312 doesnt show up | 22:24 |
| Pudabudigada | xh: I want to modify it manually, for example, if I don't have web access for some reason. | 22:26 |
| Besogon | Bashhead, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=633971 | 22:27 |
| Besogon | Bashhead, look carefuly it should help | 22:28 |
| Bashhead | alot of these help pages and tutorails say to type sudo apt................ | 22:32 |
| Pudabudigada | Don't be scared by a command line, they are better than gui for some things | 22:33 |
| Bashhead | do you think i should use a different version of ubuntu? | 22:35 |
| Bashhead | ie 9.10? | 22:35 |
| Bashhead | how about Wicd | 22:45 |
| slow-motion | n8 | 22:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | Bashhead: a newer version will have a newer kernel which would have more drivers in it but who knows if yours'll be in it | 22:47 |
| Bashhead | how would i go about installing Wicd | 22:47 |
| Bashhead | because i read to install Wicd i need to uninstall Network Manager | 22:47 |
| Bashhead | when ever i try to type, sudo apt-get install.... it says E: Couldn't find package.... | 22:49 |
| well_laid_lawn | try apt-cache search network and case is important in the terminal | 22:51 |
| well_laid_lawn | Networkmanager is diff then networkmanager | 22:51 |
| Bashhead | why is it so difficult to connect to the internet | 22:54 |
| Pudabudigada | What do you mean by 'difficult' | 22:57 |
| Bashhead | shouldn't it be straight forward...? | 23:00 |
| Bashhead | fresh install and connecting to the internet shouldnt be hard...yet it is for ubuntu | 23:01 |
| knome | Bashhead, i'm sorry, but you seem to have a wireless card that has problems with ubuntu. | 23:01 |
| well_laid_lawn | it is more likely that the manufacturer of the wifi card hasn't released a linux driver or much detail on the cards specs | 23:01 |
| Bashhead | maybe im not look correctly...? | 23:04 |
| Bashhead | what can i tell you about my card so you could try looking? | 23:04 |
| mmfb | How do you add a shortcut icon to the top panel? | 23:05 |
| well_laid_lawn | sudo lshw -c Network Bashhead | 23:05 |
| well_laid_lawn | mmfb: right click the panel | 23:06 |
| Bashhead | Ethernet interface, Network controller and Wireless interface | 23:07 |
| well_laid_lawn | !paste | Bashhead | 23:07 |
| ubottu | Bashhead: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 23:07 |
| well_laid_lawn | can you paste what that command returned Bashhead ? | 23:07 |
| Bashhead | i installed ubuntu on my laptop and right now im on my desktop | 23:08 |
| mmfb | well_laid_lawn: That's apparently just TOO obvious. There isn't a way to add a shortcut to a program from there. The only option is to add shortcuts to things like the "Battery Monitor" or the "CPU Graph". | 23:08 |
| well_laid_lawn | mmfb: there's no add to panel option? | 23:08 |
| Sysi | mmfb: add launcher | 23:09 |
| mmfb | well_laid_lawn: No, just "Add New Items...". | 23:09 |
| well_laid_lawn | mmfb: one of the new items should be a launcher | 23:10 |
| mmfb | I know it's possible because I put Thunderbird up there a long time ago, but for some reason nothing I try works. I've even tried creating a new launcher and then dragging it up there, but nothing. | 23:10 |
| mmfb | well_laid_lawn: Haha... Damn. Now I feel pretty stupid. | 23:10 |
| Bashhead | product: BCM4312 802.11b/g | 23:10 |
| mmfb | well_laid_lawn: Thanks! | 23:11 |
| Bashhead | vendor: Broadcom Corporation | 23:11 |
| well_laid_lawn | np :] mmfb | 23:11 |
| well_laid_lawn | Bashhead: k - I'll have a google :] | 23:11 |
| Bashhead | thanks | 23:12 |
| well_laid_lawn | Bashhead: seems that broadcom has given very little linux support - best solution I found was to buy a usb wifi dongle... | 23:15 |
| Bashhead | im in luck i have a wifi dongle :P | 23:18 |
| Bashhead | now i have one more problem | 23:19 |
| Bashhead | lets say i want to install conky | 23:19 |
| Bashhead | im supposed to type sudo apt-get install conky into terminal | 23:19 |
| Bashhead | everything is fine till the end of the terminal message | 23:20 |
| Bashhead | E: Couldn't find package conky | 23:20 |
| Bashhead | for that matter, it cant find any package | 23:20 |
| Kangarooo | Bashhead: most wifi usb dogles work. before install use sudo apt-get update | 23:20 |
| Pudabudigada | Is it in your repo? | 23:20 |
| Bashhead | kanagroo, its downloading the packages, thanks | 23:21 |
| Kangarooo | then install conky Bashhead after lists are updated | 23:22 |
| Bashhead | everything seems fine sofar. | 23:24 |
| well_laid_lawn | woot! | 23:26 |
| Bashhead | how do i run conky after installing? | 23:31 |
| well_laid_lawn | alt+f2 and type conky | 23:31 |
| well_laid_lawn | you'll need a conkyrc file to change it tho | 23:32 |
