[02:15] <ToStItOs> I'm trying to get Usbmodeswitch to work properly but so far no luck am I missing something
[02:25] <ToStItOs> Anyone familiar with Usbmodeswitch
[02:31] <ToStItOs> I can't get my Usb modem (data card ) to run on Xubuntu is there something I am missing
[02:40] <well_laid_lawn> ToStItOs: found this - http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/
[02:52] <ToStItOs> well_laid_lawn,  I have but I don't understand what I need to do to make it work
[02:53] <well_laid_lawn> ToStItOs: it is not something I've ever used
[02:56] <ToStItOs> my usb modem only supports windows but I was reading online about usbmodeswitch but I can't get it to work
[02:57] <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
[02:58] <well_laid_lawn> that botlink doesn't seem right for this channel...
[02:58] <ToStItOs> I don't have dial up
[03:03] <well_laid_lawn> k
[03:04] <well_laid_lawn> http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ has a list of modems it supports - s yours there?
[03:06] <ToStItOs> Let me check its a Franklin U210
[03:08] <ToStItOs> I see it
[03:10] <ToStItOs> I just need to know how to usbmodeswitch up I wish these vendors would supply linux drivers
[03:11] <well_laid_lawn> they won't know people want linux drivers if no-one tells them
[03:12] <ToStItOs> True windows is just virus prone
[03:20] <ToStItOs> so is it a plug and play situation
[03:44] <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
[09:16] <nikolam> Hm, I wonder, is Xfce/Xubuntu non-supported by Canonical?
[09:44] <ikonia> xubuntu is an official release, in the same way as kubuntu
[11:01] <nikolam> thanks ikonia
[14:32] <ablomen> could anybody point me to the notify-osd settings? i want to shorten the time a notification shows
[14:38] <kangarooo> ablomen: whereis notify-osd maybe that ouptu will help
[14:38] <kangarooo> or .notify-osd ? or search notify-osd
[14:41] <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
[14:44] <Sysi> notify-osd kinda sucks
[14:45] <ablomen> well it looks great and all that, if it had a config file i would not mind so much
[14:46] <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
[14:49] <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
[15:11] <kangarooo> ablomen: maybe restart of xorg is needed before settings new takes place
[15:13] <ablomen> kangarooo, dunno, might try again later today, i don't think the boss will appreciate me cocking about with my pc :P

[22:40] <Kangarooo> whats the name of programm that configure sound in xubuntu?
[22:46] <well_laid_lawn> xfce4-mixer ?
[22:46] <Kangarooo> well_laid_lawn: is it reported that on shutdown it sets sound to 0%?
