[00:31] <ToStItOs> Does anybody know about cellular broadband
[01:19] <ToStItOs> Does anyone know about usbmodeswitch
[01:22] <ToStItOs> I don't know how to configure
[02:09] <highvoltage> ToStItOs: if you're on any recent version of xubuntu, you really shouldn't need it
[02:49] <ToStItOs> Well I have a Franklin U210 data usb modem and when I plug it in it doesn't recognize
[04:36] <danklesman> what is the default archive manager used in xubuntu?
[04:37] <danklesman> 10.04
[08:19] <_chris_> moin all :)
[10:38] <slow-motion> hi
[14:50] <danboid> How do I change default window manager that gdm auto-logs into under lucid? gdmsetup is broke and I've hadf no luck with .xsession or 'sudo update-alternatives --config x-window-manager'
[14:54] <ablomen> danboid, did you try /usr/share/xsessions/default.desktop ? (not sure there is one in lucid though..)
[14:57] <danboid> ablomen, No- that folder exists under lucid but there is no default.desktop in there atm. Need to find out what it should contain now then..
[14:58] <Sysi> rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions/*
[14:58] <Sysi> windowmanager --replace and save session at logout
[15:00] <danboid> Sysi, I've got a .cache but theres no sessions subfolder and I'm not sure fluxbox supports 'save session at logout'?
[15:01] <Sysi> idk about fluxbox i'm xfce user
[15:01] <Sysi> xfce/xfwm
[15:46] <crazygir> so I recently upgraded from 9.X --> 10.4, and graphic performance now sucks.. X is eating up one available core - 100%
[15:46] <crazygir> how do you turn down the video requirements in xfce/xubuntu?
[15:53] <Sysi> what graphics card
[16:02] <crazygir> I haven't changed hardware.. I upgraded xubuntu
[16:02] <crazygir> it's a std onboard graphics
[16:03] <crazygir> changing the theme did not help
[16:03] <Sysi> lspci | grep VGA
[16:03] <skit-lasse> is there some nice software for xubuntu, which allows me to configure my gravis gamepad pro?
[16:03] <skit-lasse> my gamepad is not USB
[16:09] <crazygir> Sysi:
[16:09] <crazygir> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[16:10] <Sysi> they used not to work with 9.* ..interesting
[16:11] <ablomen> skit-lasse, maybe something in this thread might work? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=338457
[16:12] <crazygir> worked fine
[16:12] <crazygir> not so happy now
[16:16] <crazygir> Sysi: do you have any thoughts/insight on how I should resolve this?
[16:16] <crazygir> it's difficult to get work done :P
[16:19] <Sysi> do you have noacpi or something in boot options?
[16:21] <crazygir> where would I check.. I haven't changed anything..
[16:21] <crazygir> grub.conf?
[16:24] <Sysi> /boot/grub/menu.lst or /etc/default/grub.conf
[16:29] <crazygir> enable or disable it?
[16:33] <crazygir> Sysi: ^
[16:38] <Sysi> well you only can do either to change current situation
[16:55] <crazygir> Sysi: nope.. I don't have acpi mentioned anywhere in /boot/grub
[16:55] <crazygir> (I haven't changed any of this..)
[17:10] <Sysi> so it should not be about those

[18:28] <CS_GLaDOS> it appears to be

[18:42] <CS_GLaDOS> it doesn't take too long
[18:42] <Sysi> that's totally borked
[18:43] <CS_GLaDOS> is that why I couldnt do sudo apt-get install flashplugin0nonfree

[18:44] <CS_GLaDOS> cause i was restarting to reinstall
[18:44] <Sysi> you can just reinstall
[18:45] <Sysi> doesn't actually matter for me
[18:45] <Sysi> but, wubi?
[18:45] <CS_GLaDOS> wubi?
[18:46] <Sysi> windows ubuntu installer, can cause weird problems
[18:46] <CS_GLaDOS> nope
[18:46] <Sysi> g2g
[18:46] <CS_GLaDOS> it was from CD
[18:46] <CS_GLaDOS> Oh right
[18:46] <CS_GLaDOS> thanks for the help
[18:46] <Sysi> check that cd, there's option in menu
[18:46] <Sysi> when you boot
[18:46] <CS_GLaDOS> Will do
[18:47] <CS_GLaDOS> infactr I'll just reburn
[19:44] <jimisrvrox> hey guys im having a problem mounting my mp3 player and hoping that I do not have to format the drive...unfortunately gparted shows that there is currently no filesystem on there but there is music on there..and I tried to reset the permissions to allow any user to mount the drive but am still getting error that root can only mount the drive...
[19:45] <Sysi> only root can do mounting
[19:46] <Sysi> but it can be done so that normal user can write there
[19:47] <jimisrvrox> Sysi: did su root and I still get the...
[19:47] <jimisrvrox> sudo mount gives me mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1 and dmesg gives me VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdb1.
[19:47] <Sysi> what fs should it be?
[19:48] <Sysi> i guess fat32
[19:48] <jimisrvrox> I dont think upgrading to 10.04 would reset permissions...I think one day i was messing with the machine after reading about permissions stuff in a book and I figured out last night that I needed to go into the storage device thing and try to reset the permissions..
[19:49] <jimisrvrox> well im guessing it could use NTFS so that if the kiddo wants to connect it to a Windows box for tagging that it wouldnt have any problems...but it already has music on it that I dont want to end up erasing due to formatting..
[19:49] <Sysi> mount -t ntfs
[19:53] <jimisrvrox> hrm tried the mount -t command and it tells me the device doesnt have NTFS..
[19:53] <jimisrvrox> strange
[19:53] <Sysi> it's broken or not ntfs
[19:53] <jimisrvrox> it ends up being fat32
[19:54] <jimisrvrox> I wished I could remember all these damn commands! Ive been reading a linux security book but I think its more of you have to do it over and over again and then it becomes second nature
[19:54] <Sysi> can you mount it with thunar?
[19:55] <jimisrvrox> nope..that keeps giving me mount: wrong fs blah balh
[19:56] <Sysi> there's some way to mount it with root but as normal user so it becomes rw for both
[20:00] <jimisrvrox> Sysi: I ended up mounting it..ran mount -t vfat and then ran mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
[20:00] <Sysi> it work
[20:01] <jimisrvrox> yup
[20:02] <jimisrvrox> Sysi: I think what my problem is is that in fstab sdb1 was showing up as ext3 and its really vfat so I figure just go in and edit fstab to vfat instead of ext3
[20:03] <Sysi> your mp3-player shouldn't be in fstab
[20:04] <Sysi> add # in front of that line
[20:05] <jimisrvrox> well it is only because I told it to load on boot-up
[20:05] <Sysi> how you want
[20:05] <jimisrvrox> so all id have to do like you said is comment it out but wouldnt I also have to change the pref in storage device manager?
[20:06] <Sysi> you can change type also in fstab
[20:12] <jimisrvrox> brb
[20:17] <jimisrvrox> ok Sysi it worked out good...so it was all because Linux wasnt seeing the device as ext3 when the device was formatted vfat..
[20:18] <Sysi> you told linux it's ext3 in fstab
[20:18] <jimisrvrox> I mustive earlier...
[20:21] <jimisrvrox> Sysi: what do you think of Win7? Do you still use Windows?
[20:21] <Sysi> "still :)"
[20:21] <Sysi> not really
[20:21] <jimisrvrox> heh its on the try not to basis eh
[20:22] <Sysi> (i did use win for long time)
[20:24] <jimisrvrox> how long have you used Linux?
[20:25] <CS_GLaDOS> I've been using win7 since the beta days :D I tried Linux a long time ago - my hardware had no drivrs and it was a KDE distro and the buttons were massive.
[20:25] <CS_GLaDOS> as I've seen today it's much improved since then
[20:25] <Sysi> few years
[20:25] <Sysi> maybe three
[20:26] <Sysi> i hated xp so much i've gone for anything
[20:26] <Sysi> 7 is ok, i just don't have reason to something expensive/illegal and not-very-userfriendly
[20:26] <jimisrvrox> heh
[20:28] <CS_GLaDOS> The only reason I'm back into Linux is that my T20's fans don't spin under Windows
[20:30] <CS_GLaDOS> Okay, we're into Xubuntu, and hopefully it won't be b0rked this time
[20:30] <jimisrvrox> im alright with 7 but I love my Linux :)
[20:30] <CS_GLaDOS> I'm talking to you form 7
[20:30] <CS_GLaDOS> *from
[20:31] <jimisrvrox> urgh I hate this f'n phillips mp3 player!
[20:31] <CS_GLaDOS> UK Zune master race here
[20:32] <jimisrvrox> lets see...14 songs and only 4 show up on the damn player..wtf is up with that?!?
[20:32] <jimisrvrox> and then for tagging I havent been able to find a *nix program that will tag the songs correctly to display on the player but WMP will do just fine...I just HATE anything Windoze..
[20:33] <Sysi> broken filesystem? :)
[20:33] <TheSheep> jimisrvrox: ex falso works pretty well for me
[20:33] <CS_GLaDOS> YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME
[20:33] <CS_GLaDOS> After reinstalling
[20:33] <CS_GLaDOS> same error
[20:33] <CS_GLaDOS> i'll have to re download the iso
[20:33] <TheSheep> !md5
[20:34] <jimisrvrox> CS_GLaDOS: ive had that before...
[20:34] <jimisrvrox> so i understand the pain :)
[20:34] <TheSheep> checking md5 is faster than redownloading
[20:34] <TheSheep> also, if you use torrent, it can download only the broken bits
[20:34] <Sysi> torrents don't corrupt easily
[20:35] <CS_GLaDOS> Hmm, I HTTP'd it
[20:36] <jimisrvrox> TheSheep: you think I could have all tracks showing up through ex falso? I cant understand why theyre not showing up already because I use grip to rip/encode and I had another album that ripped just fine to the player...but this one seems to be on the sh**tter
[20:36] <TheSheep> jimisrvrox: not sure, the problem may be with the filesystem not tags
[20:37] <TheSheep> jimisrvrox: or something else entirely
[20:37] <TheSheep> jimisrvrox: make sure there no non-ascii characters or spaces in the filenames
[20:41] <jimisrvrox> ok so after tracks 1-4 ex falso picked those up but after that...nada
[20:42] <jimisrvrox> and thats on my linux box not on the player
[20:44] <CS_GLaDOS> What's the difference between alternate and desktop versions of xubuntu?
[20:45] <jimisrvrox> CS_GLaDOS: alternate is text-only install and usually offers more options...and desktop is gui-based
[20:47] <CS_GLaDOS> I see
[20:47] <CS_GLaDOS> I'll keep it on the desktop.
[20:48] <CS_GLaDOS> I little bit of light entertainment for nerds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QkyfGJgcwQ
[20:49] <sabot> So I installed xubuntu on my toshiba nb205 netbook, and the boot time is VERY long
[20:49] <sabot> at least 5 minutes. It hangs at a blank screen with just the flashing _ character
[20:49] <sabot> Is there a fix for this?

[21:07] <CS_GLaDOS> I just ran update
[21:07] <CS_GLaDOS> oh never mind
[21:07] <CS_GLaDOS> the screensaver crashed
[21:15] <jimisrvrox> hey Sysi you gonna be around for a while?
[21:16] <Sysi> propably, but here are other people too
[21:16] <jimisrvrox> I gotta run an errand but I wanna talk to you some more when I get back...
[21:19] <CS_GLaDOS> #wow, my laptop has a light
[21:34] <CS_GLaDOS> YES
[21:34] <CS_GLaDOS> Software Centre starts :D
[22:01] <owen1> is livecd works on macbookpro? i try and i see black screen
[22:06] <slow-motion> n8
[22:09] <CS_GLaDOS> I doubt it would work on MBP
[22:09] <Sysi> it should
[22:09] <Sysi> depending on actual model
[22:09] <CS_GLaDOS> I couldnt get PPCLinux to work on my Mac Pro G4
[22:10] <CS_GLaDOS> anyway OS X is good enough
[22:10] <CS_GLaDOS> anyway, why do you want to?
[22:10] <CS_GLaDOS> OS X is basically a shiny shell for BSD
[22:10] <Sysi> it's if-you-like-it gui for something that maybe has been basen partly on something that has been open source
[22:11] <Sysi> *based
[22:11] <owen1> i use it on my 5.1 version and want to help a friend with the same model
[22:13] <CS_GLaDOS> Have you tried another DVD
[22:13] <CS_GLaDOS> check the MD5 of the ISO you downloaded
[22:14] <owen1> CS_GLaDOS: i tried a few CDS..  i'll try ubuntu instead of xubuntu
[22:14] <CS_GLaDOS> Okay,
[22:16] <owen1> the issue is i see the menu. i choose the first option, and it's doing something, turn black and never give sign of life.
[22:16] <owen1> i can try to switch to different ttyl maybe
[22:59] <jimisrvrox_> Sysi: hey man you around?
[23:00] <Sysi> going to bed soon
[23:00] <jimisrvrox_> oh damn ok...
[23:01] <jimisrvrox_> so did you have anybody that taught you how to use linux or did you just do a bunch of reading and make your own way?
[23:02] <Sysi> i've just used it, read manuals and asked in irc
[23:02] <Sysi> my friend has explained some stuff maybe
[23:03] <CS_GLaDOS> as I said, after applying a load more updates, Software Center started working
[23:03] <CS_GLaDOS> thanks for the halp
[23:15] <jimisrvrox_> Sysi: well my thing is I started reading the Linux Security book and got through 12 chapters of stuff but I dont remember much of anything!
[23:15] <jimisrvrox_> so for me I think its more of a matter of doing things instead of just merely reading about them
[23:15] <Sysi> most of people learn best by doing
[23:37] <bittin> Hello, anyone know if peppermint got an irc channel?
[23:40] <knome> bittin, is that some kind of candy?
[23:40] <bittin> their website says its #PeppermintOS but thats empty :(
[23:41] <bittin> knome: nope some kinda new linux distro
[23:41] <knome> i'm sure that's the one, if it's empty...
[23:41] <bittin> k
