[03:24] <invisibleman> hey guys
[03:24] <invisibleman> i am having trouble with my distro.
[03:24] <invisibleman> on startup i get this error
[03:24] <invisibleman> www.adf.ly/7Y3K
[03:24] <invisibleman> happened after insatlling
[03:25] <invisibleman> IP tables
[03:25] <invisibleman> any idea why?
[06:12] <Chaiwalla> Problem:  When I boot up Xubuntu, it shows my desktop pictures, and desktop icons (Home, Recycle Bin etc.) for a few seconds, then it HIDES THE DESKTOP BACKGROUND and the ICONS.  and shows me a plain BROWN background.  How do I fix this?
[06:21] <moetunes> Chaiwalla:  if you can open a terminal check if the desktop manager is running with   ps aux | grep xfdesktop
[06:25] <Chaiwalla> hmm
[06:25] <Chaiwalla> ok I'll try that in a minute, its doing an update
[06:25] <Chaiwalla> what exactly does that command do "ps aux | grep xfdesktop"
[06:27] <moetunes> it checks all running processes for a match to xfdesktop
[06:27] <moetunes> and returns a match or nothing
[06:27] <Chaiwalla> ok I typed it
[06:28] <Chaiwalla> it gave a bunch of numbers and then says xfdesktop in read
[06:28] <Chaiwalla> red
[06:30] <Chaiwalla> what do I do?
[06:30] <moetunes> I would try in terminal   killall -v xfdesktop && xfdesktop &   and see if it returns errors or gets the wallpaper and icons back
[06:30] <Chaiwalla> "killall -v xfdesktop && xfdesktop &"
[06:30] <Chaiwalla> type that?
[06:31] <moetunes> yep
[06:31] <moetunes> no quotes tho
[06:31] <Chaiwalla> yeah
[06:31] <moetunes> :]
[06:33] <Chaiwalla> ok lemme try that
[06:45] <Chaiwalla> moetunes
[06:45] <Chaiwalla> I typed it
[06:45] <moetunes> and?
[06:45] <Chaiwalla> and xfcedesktop: no process found
[06:46] <moetunes> it is xfdesktop not xfcedesktop
[06:46] <Chaiwalla> I mean xfdesktop: no processfound
[06:46] <Chaiwalla> I types it correctly
[06:47] <moetunes> so try   xfdesktop &   - we are trying to see if it gives errors
[06:48] <Chaiwalla> what do I type?  put it in quotes so I don't mess up
[06:48] <Chaiwalla> I just typed "xfdesktop" and pressed enter to see what happened
[06:49] <Chaiwalla> and it made my desktop come back :-)
[06:49] <moetunes> that's fne
[06:49] <Chaiwalla> how can I make sure it stays that way?
[06:49] <Chaiwalla> maybe I'll try rebooting and see what happens
[06:49] <moetunes> I would
[06:52] <jrmy> the desktop?
[06:52] <jrmy> as in x?
[06:52] <jrmy> sounds like fail
[06:52] <moetunes> <Chaiwalla> Problem:  When I boot up Xubuntu, it shows my desktop pictures, and desktop icons (Home, Recycle Bin etc.) for a few seconds, then it HIDES THE DESKTOP BACKGROUND and the ICONS.  and shows me a plain BROWN background.  How do I fix this?
[06:53] <moetunes> xfdesktop starts then fails
[06:53] <Chaiwalla> I'm rebooting now
[06:53] <Chaiwalla> and I clicked to save session
[06:53] <moetunes> luck
[06:53] <moetunes> good idea
[06:54] <jrmy> i remember when i had a problem with gnome.. the panels wouldnt show up
[06:54] <jrmy> it was a nightmare
[07:12] <Chaiwalla> question
[07:12] <Chaiwalla> can I have a slide show in Ristretto?
[07:41] <jrmy> why do i have to pay for shipping when getting a free xubuntu cd/dvd?
[08:25] <jrmy> what is the command for play, next, last, and stop for keystrokes pertaining to music playing?
[08:26] <moetunes> depends on what you use to play 'em
[08:27] <jrmy> well if im using rhythm box does it use the system keys?
[08:27] <jrmy> er whatever
[08:28] <moetunes> I don't use it but I'm sure in terminal   man rhythmbox  will tell - or there will be something in the menu
[08:29] <jrmy> well i setup volume keys
[08:30] <jrmy> i would think there would be commands for those as well
[08:41] <jrmy> well anyone know the commands for play, stop, next, and previous?
[09:02] <jrmy> bummer
[09:03] <jrmy> to bad ubuntu isnt lightweight. it was much easier setting up shortcut keys for system commands
[09:03] <moetunes> I did sugeest looking at rhythmboxs' menu
[09:03] <moetunes> suggest even
[09:04] <jrmy> i can already use the shortcuts provided i just want to setup the system command ones
[09:05] <jrmy> nvm these dont work outside of the program
[09:06] <moetunes> I don't know what you mean by "system command ones" - I've made bash scripts to use amixer to change the volume using keyboard shortcuts
[09:06] <jrmy> and furthermore there doesnt seem to be a way to find what it is you suggested otherwise
[09:06] <jrmy> one sec
[09:08] <jrmy> aumix -v0, aumix -v10, aumix +10.. will control volume
[09:08] <jrmy> first is mute second volume down 10 and volume up 10
[09:08] <jrmy> these are commands
[09:09] <moetunes> I use   amixer -qc 0 set Headphone 5%+   to turn it up here
[09:09] <jrmy> well what would make it stop, play, next and previous?
[09:09] <jrmy> v is volume obviously
[09:10] <moetunes> again   man rhythmbox   will give a clue on that
[09:11] <moetunes> or ask again in a bit when more folk are awake
[09:11] <jrmy> ah.. its late anyways
[14:24] <sinichiro> hello
[14:28] <knome> !hi | sinichiro
[14:28] <ubottu> sinichiro: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay!
[15:51] <sinichiro> Okay. I have internet coming into my xubuntu with a lan cable and I've been trying to get that laptop to transmit the internet over wifi to my xp laptop with no success.
[15:52] <Sysi> click icon in panel "create new wireless" ?
[15:52] <sinichiro> Did that. The wifi network even shows up on xp.
[15:53] <sinichiro> Alas xp can't get a single byte from the internet.
[15:53] <Sysi> it should just work..
[15:53] <sinichiro> So they say.
[15:54] <Sysi> what wireless card?
[15:54] <Sysi> can you check it's not in xp machine?
[15:56] <sinichiro> Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller in xubuntu laptop
[15:57] <Sysi> propietary driver?
[15:57] <sinichiro> Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG in xp laptop
[15:59] <sinichiro> Yup, proprietary as usual for Broadcom.
[16:00] <sinichiro> When I tried to do it from xp's side - as in plug the lan into xp and share wifi to xubuntu - the wifi network didn't show up on xubuntu's wifi llist.
[16:02] <sinichiro> Both laptops can connect to regular wifi networks floating around here, so whatever is wrong is wrong with the adhoc I'm trying to create.
