[00:06] <mark76> Hey Chaiwalla
[00:06] <mark76> How did it go?
[01:31] <dante_> olá
[01:51] <judgen> i am having some troubles with my wifi.. i do not understand why i can not use iwconfig to input the ESSID... it works with the network-manager applet... but that does not work in my WM of choise (no systray)
[01:51] <judgen> any ideas?
[02:01]  * eeffoc waves at everyone! 'ello.
[02:03] <eeffoc> How goes it folks?
[02:03] <eeffoc> Anyone having swell times messing with xfce?
[02:03] <eeffoc> I just cracked my hassle of two weeks with a little help of ubuntu forum users! YAY. Forums, FTW. FYI...LoL... I needed to express my gratitude to IRC...k, thx, bye.
[09:16] <mikubuntu> i have a 'new' hp scanner that a friend gave me, and it seems to be working right as far as saving images, but it is saving them in a .pnm filetype and open office doesn't seem to be able to open it
[09:16] <mikubuntu> omg.  i just tried to open the .pnm scanned file with open office and i notice in the file browser its 131 mb's!!! how can that be?
[09:17] <mikubuntu> i need to reduce the size and convert it to pdf, but i don't know how
[09:17] <ubuXubu> does anyone know how to get rid of or change the ugly boot splash screen
[09:17] <ubuXubu> mine flashes in an odd or broken style like it is corrupt and i just want to get rid of it
[09:20] <ubuXubu> a black screen is fine with me on the way to my log in screen...
[09:21] <ubuXubu> i tried tweak but all that fixed was my log on screen
[09:22] <TheSheep> ubuXubu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Theming
[09:23] <TheSheep> ubuXubu: also check out /etc/default/grub
[09:23] <TheSheep> ubuXubu: I think removing 'quiet splash' from there and then rebuilding grub config would work
[09:27] <ubuXubu> if its gonna mess with grub i think maybe ill pass
[09:27] <ubuXubu> i read all tha tstuff ...waaayyyy toooo muc hbs there
[09:27] <ubuXubu> much*
[09:27] <ubuXubu> typos..
[09:27] <ubuXubu> i meant its way too much messing around
[09:28] <ubuXubu> page after page of nonsence
[09:28] <ubuXubu> but thank you
[10:10] <mikubuntu> ok, i figured out how to scan the document directly as a pdf, but it's still an excessively large size (25 mb) what could be the deal?
[18:43] <xubuntu695> Hello from the installer
[18:45] <xubuntu695> That captcha words on this are not easy to see
[20:33] <Dynetrekk> hi. I've got a xubuntu box behind my adsl modem. how can I give the xubuntu box a fixed ip? (typically 10.0.0.4)
[20:35] <charlie-tca> right click network manager, left click "Edit connections"
[20:35] <charlie-tca> click add
[20:36] <charlie-tca> Dynetrekk: I usually add IPv4 Settings, make it manual, then add the ip and gateway
[20:36] <Dynetrekk>  charlie-tca: just a sec, I'll try that
[22:01] <Ben_G_9C9_> What is the difference between Ubuntu and xUbuntu? I can't really tell from the websites.
[22:02] <charlie-tca> Ubuntu uses the gnome desktop environment, Xubuntu uses the Xfce desktop environment
[22:03] <Ben_G_9C9_> The screenshots make them look functionally identical.
[22:03] <charlie-tca> Ubuntu makes most of the choices for you, Xubuntu makes you make the choices
[22:04] <charlie-tca> Screenshots where?
[22:04] <Ben_G_9C9_> Desktop screen shots on the Ubuntu and xUbuntu websites.
[22:04] <charlie-tca> what are the url's ?
[22:04] <Ben_G_9C9_> hold on...
[22:06] <Sysi> !xfce
[22:06] <Ben_G_9C9_> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop  and http://www.xubuntu.org/tour
[22:07] <agitator> does xubuntu use the ubuntu update channels?
[22:07] <charlie-tca> yes
[22:07] <agitator> thx
[22:08] <charlie-tca> Ben_G_9C9_: software center is the same in both environments
[22:09] <charlie-tca> user preferences is much different, as is gnumeric vs openoffice, abiword vs openoffice, parole vs totem, pidgin vs empathy, gimp vs ???
[22:09] <charlie-tca> some apps will be the same, many will not be
[22:10] <Ben_G_9C9_> Okay. Thanks. That answered my question.
