[00:33] <subspider> how do i know if my graphic is working properlly
[00:33] <subspider> cus i think its not
[00:42] <well_laid_lawn> check the log to see the driver being used maybe
[04:16] <manbullphoenix> So how's this thing work?  Like AOL chat rooms back in the day?
[04:28] <well_laid_lawn> it's a support channel - someone needs support and asks - someone responds :]
[06:00] <ubuXubu> good morning
[10:06] <sasaniak> hello
[10:07] <sasaniak> i have a small problem and it would help a lot if you had some advice:
[10:07] <well_laid_lawn> you'll need to tell us about it sasaniak :]
[10:08] <sasaniak> today i rebooted with the latest kernel update and my wifi stopped working - network manager says that wireless is disabled
[10:08] <sasaniak> rfkill list states that 1: phy0: Wireless LAN
[10:08] <sasaniak> 	Hard blocked: yes
[10:09] <sasaniak> i tried googling, tried some advice with rmmod-ing and modprobing modules for hp_accel and iwlagn
[10:09] <sasaniak> but that didn't help
[10:10] <well_laid_lawn> I don't do wireless - if noone else answers now ask again in a bit :]
[10:10] <Sysi> sasaniak: right click on icon in panel
[10:10] <Sysi> "activate wireless" cecked?
[10:10] <sasaniak> Sysi: it's greyed out, can't click
[10:11] <sasaniak> also,
[10:11] <sasaniak> sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[10:11] <sasaniak> SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132
[10:11] <sasaniak> tried googling for that too, found some open bugs in ubuntu but my HW configuration was different so I didn't know if i should file a new bug report or add a comment or what :)
[10:13] <sasaniak> my humble assumption is that the "hardware switch" (a button on my laptop) doesn't work for some reason (maybe an updated package with a bug)
[11:11] <YeahRight> how can i administer my xubuntu installation from xfce desktop?
[11:13] <YeahRight> google suggests there seems to have to be some system -> administration menu but i dont seem to have that?
[11:13] <Sysi> YeahRight: what do ypu mean by administrating
[11:13] <YeahRight> configure
[11:13] <YeahRight> hostname for example
[11:13] <YeahRight> from the gui
[11:14] <YeahRight> thanks for replying btw :-)
[11:14] <Sysi> install system-config-something packages
[11:14] <Sysi> maybe with those
[11:14] <Sysi> xubuntu doesn't have yast :P
[11:14] <YeahRight> thats not insatlled by default then?
[11:15] <Sysi> not at least all of them
[11:21] <Sysi> idk if you even could use yast on anything but suse
[11:27] <YeahRight> well it sounds weird to me i cant configure anything from a gui in xubuntu..
[11:28] <sasaniak> well
[11:28] <sasaniak> hostname is something that you change once a year maybe
[11:29] <YeahRight> well you need to configure it when setting it up
[11:29] <sasaniak> you usually configure it while installing :)
[11:29] <YeahRight> and network settings need to be configured too
[11:29] <YeahRight> yeah well something changed
[11:29] <sasaniak> you can use network-manager (it should be installed, it's the icon with two monitors)
[11:29] <Sysi> see what you can do with system-config-network
[11:30] <YeahRight> i just would have thought i wouldnt have to need to edit all kinds of config files manually in xubuntu
[11:30] <Sysi> *buntus aren't really made for hc configuring
[11:30] <YeahRight> whats "system-config-network"?
[11:30] <Sysi> install it and see
[11:30] <YeahRight> with synaptics?
[11:31] <YeahRight> doesnt seem to be there
[11:33] <sasaniak> YeahRight: you can't configure it through network-manager ?
[11:33] <Sysi> not very much but something
[11:34] <YeahRight> i dont see any network manager either
[11:34] <Sysi> icon in panel
[11:34] <sasaniak> it's an icon with two monitors
[11:34] <sasaniak> if you don't have it (which would be weird), try installing network-manager
[11:34] <YeahRight> ok i see that
[11:34] <Sysi> (i'm comfy with config files, they're usually easier than most GUIs)
[11:35] <well_laid_lawn> +1
[11:35] <YeahRight> doesnt let me configure much..can only disconnect
[11:35] <YeahRight> and config files are only easier when you already know all about them
[11:36] <sasaniak> YeahRight: right click on it, there should be something like "settings"
[11:37] <sasaniak> or change connections
[11:37] <sasaniak> or something like that
[11:38] <YeahRight> you're right
[11:38] <YeahRight> but it doesn allow me to change the hostname
[11:38] <sasaniak> well, not the hostname, i thought you wanted to change some network settings too
[11:38] <sasaniak> 12:29 < YeahRight> and network settings need to be configured too
[11:39] <YeahRight> yeah i was interested in that too :-) so thanks
[11:39] <sasaniak> you're welcome ;)
[11:39] <well_laid_lawn> !hostname
[11:40] <YeahRight> i guess xubuntu isnt too user friendly with respect to a gui then
[11:40] <YeahRight> i'll do that then ubottu .. thanks
[11:40] <well_laid_lawn> changing hostname is the same in all ubuntus
[11:41] <YeahRight> i was just expecting some general place to look at / change certain system settings
[11:42] <well_laid_lawn> part  of what makes xubuntu a lighter distro is the lack of reliance on "middleman" apps
[11:43] <YeahRight> i understand that but being able to modify system settings seemed too essential to me to just leave out :-)
[11:43] <YeahRight> i mean other less relevant stuff is still included in menus
[12:00] <YeahRight> another question .. how can i force a disk check the next reboot?
[12:02] <well_laid_lawn> YeahRight:  try    sudo  shutdown -rF now
[12:05] <YeahRight> well_laid_lawn : thanks for the reply
[12:05] <well_laid_lawn> np :]
[12:06] <YeahRight> well google suggested that too and i did do that but the weird thing is i cannot see any proof afterwards it did happen
[12:06] <YeahRight> and while booting it doesnt show anything either
[12:06] <YeahRight> i checked /var/log/fschk
[12:06] <well_laid_lawn> you have the splash screen running?
[12:08] <YeahRight> i think so..can i disable that somehow?
[12:08] <YeahRight> xubutu is running in vmware
[12:10] <well_laid_lawn> at the grub menu select the kernel you want and press   e   (for edit) - arrow down to the kernel boot line and press   e   - move to the end of the line and remove the word splash - hit b for boot   iirc
[12:11] <well_laid_lawn> you might have to hold the shift key down at boot to get the grub menu
[12:11] <YeahRight> cool..clear insructions :-)
[12:11] <YeahRight> thank you
[12:11] <well_laid_lawn> it's been a while since I've done that
[13:56]  * Succorbenoth waves at everyone!
[18:38] <likemindead> Any PCSX-Reloaded users in here? I just installed the latest version on my laptop (Xubuntu 10.04) and the audio is all screwy. FF7 played fine but Castlevania: SoTN is awful.
[18:44]  * eeffoc waves at everyone! 'ello.
[18:45] <Sysi> eeffoc: why you do that and then leave?
[18:45] <Sysi> different nick last time but same host
[18:46] <eeffoc> I'm remoted into my server at home; networking issues. Gotta love comcast.
[18:46] <eeffoc> Just switched my /nick.
[18:46] <eeffoc> maybe, can't remember; lot
[18:47] <eeffoc> s  of problems happening, lol.
[18:47]  * eeffoc apologizes.
[18:47] <Sysi> i just wondered :)
[18:47] <eeffoc> How
[18:48] <eeffoc> 's it going?
[18:48] <eeffoc> Have you been using xfce/xubuntu for a while now?
[18:51] <rgnr> !ru
[18:56] <Sysi> !botabuse | FYI
[19:03] <MichealH> Sysi: It seems he calls that factiod to get accessto the channel
[19:03] <Sysi> what?
[19:04] <MichealH> He calls !ru to get into the #ubuntu-ru channel
[19:04] <Sysi> he can do it in query too
[19:04] <MichealH> He obviously uses xchat and the convenience of right clicking ... I understand
[19:05] <MichealH> We need someone to tell him
[19:05] <MichealH> Give him a heads up
[19:05]  * MichealH gets out Google Translate
[19:06] <knome> rgnr, please do not use the factoids to join channels. with most clients, you can join any channel with /join #ubuntu-ru in your client.
[19:06] <knome> rgnr, understood?
[19:11] <MichealH> knome: /win 27
[19:11] <MichealH> Oops
[19:11] <MichealH> Sorry
[19:42] <eeffoc> So, does anyone know how to appropriately remove a user from xfce/xubuntu? I gave my sis-in-law an old laptop and installed xubuntu on it for her. User name is her name. She got a new laptop, gave the old one back. I created a new user; wanted to use the laptop for IRC, reading comics, etc. Anyway, went to remove the old user (hers) by running the sudo deluser command, and it says she is still logged on. I tried removing her the 'gu
[19:42] <eeffoc> still did not work.
[19:43] <knome> eeffoc, applications -> system -> users and groups
[19:43] <eeffoc> I can log into her account just fine; I've even tried logging out without saving the session.
[19:43] <eeffoc> Yea, that was what I meant by 'gui' way.
[19:44] <eeffoc> It seemed to delete the user just fine, but when I reboot, it boots right back into that username.
[19:44] <Sysi> change gdm config
[19:45] <eeffoc> That would basically leave the user, but allow me to have it auto boot into the user of my choosing, correct?
[19:46] <Sysi> at least
[19:46] <eeffoc> My only concern with that is the fact that I've only got 40 gig's of hdd space... O_o   LoL    which, it probably doesn't take that much space having an unused, empty username, huh>?
[19:47] <Sysi> system → login screen
[19:47] <Sysi> sudo rm -rf /home/deleteduser
[19:47] <eeffoc> oooo, nice
[19:47] <eeffoc> I'll give that one a shot as soon as I get home from work. =)
[19:52] <eeffoc> Does anyone happen to use Samba or anything to connect to a Windows shared drive?
[19:53] <eeffoc> I'm able to connect to my drives perfectly.
[19:53] <eeffoc> My only problem lies with actually opening the files...
[19:53] <eeffoc> lol...
[19:54] <eeffoc> My hope was to keep my comic/ebook files on my network storage drives. The files are .cbr, .cbz and .pdf files, also some .chm. I use Comix on xubuntu, which works excellent locally, but I can't seen to open said .cbr or .cbz file through Samba.
[19:55] <knome> !smb
[22:38] <instal85> hello
[22:39] <instal85> iget stock on the 85%
[22:40] <instal85> what   happen there?
