| ToStItOs | I'm trying to get Usbmodeswitch to work properly but so far no luck am I missing something | 02:15 |
|---|---|---|
| ToStItOs | Anyone familiar with Usbmodeswitch | 02:25 |
| ToStItOs | I can't get my Usb modem (data card ) to run on Xubuntu is there something I am missing | 02:31 |
| well_laid_lawn | ToStItOs: found this - http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ | 02:40 |
| ToStItOs | well_laid_lawn, I have but I don't understand what I need to do to make it work | 02:52 |
| well_laid_lawn | ToStItOs: it is not something I've ever used | 02:53 |
| ToStItOs | my usb modem only supports windows but I was reading online about usbmodeswitch but I can't get it to work | 02:56 |
| well_laid_lawn | !winmodem | 02:57 |
| ubottu | You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 02:57 |
| well_laid_lawn | that botlink doesn't seem right for this channel... | 02:58 |
| ToStItOs | I don't have dial up | 02:58 |
| well_laid_lawn | k | 03:03 |
| well_laid_lawn | http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ has a list of modems it supports - s yours there? | 03:04 |
| ToStItOs | Let me check its a Franklin U210 | 03:06 |
| ToStItOs | I see it | 03:08 |
| ToStItOs | I just need to know how to usbmodeswitch up I wish these vendors would supply linux drivers | 03:10 |
| well_laid_lawn | they won't know people want linux drivers if no-one tells them | 03:11 |
| ToStItOs | True windows is just virus prone | 03:12 |
| ToStItOs | so is it a plug and play situation | 03:20 |
| ridin | !virus | 03:44 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 03:44 |
| nikolam | Hm, I wonder, is Xfce/Xubuntu non-supported by Canonical? | 09:16 |
| ikonia | xubuntu is an official release, in the same way as kubuntu | 09:44 |
| nikolam | thanks ikonia | 11:01 |
| ablomen | could anybody point me to the notify-osd settings? i want to shorten the time a notification shows | 14:32 |
| kangarooo | ablomen: whereis notify-osd maybe that ouptu will help | 14:38 |
| kangarooo | or .notify-osd ? or search notify-osd | 14:38 |
| ablomen | kangarooo, thanks, tried all that, seems like the only way to change it is install a newer version from a ppa somewhere, one that actually reads ~/.notify-osd :( myeah cant have it all it seems | 14:41 |
| Sysi | notify-osd kinda sucks | 14:44 |
| ablomen | well it looks great and all that, if it had a config file i would not mind so much | 14:45 |
| ablomen | just don't need "X has signed on" over half a window for 10 seconds :P | 14:46 |
| Sysi | i have xfce-notify or something | 14:46 |
| ablomen | xfce4-notifyd ? | 14:49 |
| ablomen | i might try that | 14:49 |
| ablomen | Package notify-osd which provides notification-daemon is to be removed. << smells like victory | 14:49 |
| kangarooo | ablomen: maybe restart of xorg is needed before settings new takes place | 15:11 |
| ablomen | kangarooo, dunno, might try again later today, i don't think the boss will appreciate me cocking about with my pc :P | 15:13 |

| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 23:36 |
