[01:07] i just installed xubu 10.10 on my acer aspire 5100. suspend/hibernate doesn't work. any fixes? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:37] suspend hibernate doesn't appear at all in my menu and methinks that xfce doesn't have those options [01:38] I have log out turn off and restart [01:58] linuxarrow: yeah, me too [01:59] used to have them in lucid, but never used them... [02:23] is no one alive on freenode tonight [02:26] person [02:28] hi [02:28] i'm having an issue [02:28] i tried to install mintmenu to get the awesome menu with xfce but now xfce just won't run [02:34] If you want the awesome mint menu maybe try linux mint xfce and get the complete deal, and soon they will have the maverick compatible version...just a thought [02:35] NO THAT WON'T WORK [02:37] Ok just a suggestion I have installed many versions if i found something don't work right or reinstall what you do have. Just a friendly suggestion no need for shouting. [02:37] I"M NOT SHOUTING I"M CRUISIN FOR CHICKS [02:38] nah i'm just kiddin [02:38] i'm watchin close encounters for the first time [02:38] I can't help you there since xubuntu is babe enough for me [02:39] Nintnint, please stay on topic [02:39] actually i use linux mint debian [02:40] thats not supported here [02:40] isn't this #linuxmintdebian? [02:40] !mintsupport > Nintnint [02:40] Nintnint, please see my private message [02:40] Nintnint, you know its not [02:41] With what version are you chatting with [02:43] oh i'm on windows xp right now [02:44] Nintnint, any support questions related to xubuntu then? [02:45] I used to use pirate xp on this computer but xp is getting old and much more dull than xubuntu and not as fast on this 8 yr old box [02:45] i don't use xubuntu [02:45] lets take chat to #xubuntu-offtopic please [02:46] Well said bazhang and thanks === ubott2 is now known as ubottu [03:49] hello. can anyone tell me where the default location of wallpaper is? [03:49] thanks [05:52] good morning Lords of the Code... [08:18] is it ok if in just make my swap partition 2 gb? [08:18] i really dont want to make it 7 gb just beacuse i have 3.5 gb of ram? [08:18] is there some issue with having a perfect ratio? [08:19] or is it just a matter of not running out of virtual memory? [08:32] it should be fine [08:32] my swap is almost never used [08:37] Balsaq: it's an old theory when ram was expensive, double the physical, with 3.5 you could probably just turn it off entirely [08:38] yea i have never used more then 1 gig of swap and I have 2 gigs of ram [08:39] I would set 2 gigs of swap, you may need it if you plan to run virtual machines [08:39] some video editing stuff uses lots too, but generally I don't get much swap used [08:40] you can of course tune it with 'swappiness' but not really much point [08:42] ok so we all agree 2 gigs of swap is plenty [08:42] i cant see you system needed anymore then that [08:42] i mean i really want it to run all in ram [08:43] if i could make it [08:43] i accidentally forgot it on this machine and it ended up at 653 swap on its own somehow [08:43] it must require a lil bit [08:44] ill go woth 2 [08:44] thanks [08:44] with [08:44] linux has a tendency to use all of its ram and use as little of swap as possible [08:44] good [08:45] maybe ill put 4 gigs in then, they tell me windpws wont use it al but maybe linux will [08:45] its 32 bit [08:45] is this 32-bit xubuntu? [08:45] yeah [08:46] thats wutni will be putting in the machine i am workin on [08:46] i dont think 32-bit OS's can see more then 4 gigs of ram [08:46] i know [08:46] in fact they say windows wont even see 4 [08:46] i wonder if buntu can [08:46] so iwas gonna stop at 3.5 [08:46] im pretty use its a 32bit thing [08:47] i think 32bit can not address above 4 gigs [08:49] yea, do 2^32 on a calculator, the answer is the highest number 32bit can support [08:49] so u mean it will only use 2 gigs? [08:51] i think with 32bit xubuntu you can only get access to a little over 3.5 gigs of ram [08:51] hmm tempting to do 4 then [08:51] they tell me windows will only see 3-3.5 [08:51] so i was gonna do 3.5 [08:52] for swap? [08:52] no for ram [08:52] im gonna do 2gb swap [08:52] just for hooo hahs [08:53] set it up and if it only sees part of the ram try the 64bit version of xubuntu [08:53] is it intel or amd? [08:53] cani do 64 buntu on a partition wit h32 bit windows? [08:53] its intel [08:54] wow never thought of 65 bit buntu [08:54] 64* [08:54] is there driver issues w/ 64 bit buntu? [08:54] i really dont know, i have never used it [08:54] cos i get around good on 32 bit [08:55] i dont use 64 bit xp pro becasue i know the driver supposrt isnt there [08:55] to be honest i think 4 gigs of ram is plenty [08:55] yeah me too [08:55] i would just go with 32bit [08:55] its just gotten so cheap for this ole boat [08:55] the ram went down in price [08:55] heh yea but some times i add ram and do not see any speed increase [08:56] i got 2 gigs on this one [08:56] seems fine [08:56] but i think ram helps future proof the machine [08:56] xubuntu runs fast, even on my netbook [08:57] yeah i was running it on 512 for a year or so [08:57] ran great [08:57] now i have been messin with ubuntu [08:58] can all 3 buntus be installed on one HD? [08:58] yea [08:59] i may try that on my big HD [08:59] never tried kubuntu [08:59] its just a kde gui [09:00] i would just download the cd and run it off the cd to try it [09:01] well i had pclinuxos in kde once for a while [09:01] loooked like the same thing [09:01] was nice but...odd [09:02] the names of the files were kinda weird [09:02] i use vmware to try out software and OS's [09:02] nice lookin though [09:02] i have never done vm ware i gotta try it [10:55] hi, im using xubuntu 10.04, one key on my laptop is not working, so i used xmodmap to turn it off, but how to add it to run on start up, i added it to rc.local but it gives error unable to open dispay '' [10:58] xmodmap -pke > .Xmodmap ; mousepad .Xmodmap [10:58] then edit that file [10:58] oh well, no need for editing if you do it first with xmodmap [10:59] just: xmodmap -pke > .Xmodmap should do it [10:59] will it work on other terminals, F1, F2 and so on [10:59] just for X11 [11:00] ..i think [11:00] you could maybe put it to ~/.bash_profile [11:02] it could work from crontab too [11:04] where to add .Xmodmap [11:04] to my home dir? [11:05] there [11:05] that line i gave prints it there [11:06] yes, if i execute it from home dir [11:06] so it will work only when i log in ? [11:06] yes [11:06] :S that can be problem. password typing [11:07] (by default you are on home folder when you open terminal :) [11:07] i needed to check [11:07] i don't quite know how would it work on deeper level [11:08] hm can i edit some key map file for X11 that makes this [11:09] i mean that is used by default [11:14] Hi [11:15] I'm having some problems installing my xubuntu. [11:15] Can someone help me out there? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [13:14] Installed Xubuntu 10.10 yesterday. Found that it didn't shutdown - anyone else had this problem [md5sum checked]. Downloaded 10.04 and it was fine. any ideas? [13:14] thanks [13:33] jessejazza, maybe via acpi=force [13:34] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force" [13:34] in /etc/default/grub [13:44] hi people, i have the following dmesg output http://pastebin.com/QamFWmy3 [13:44] is that normal [13:44] ? [14:08] tarek: no, it's crashing [14:10] Khedron: so what is this npviewer.bin [14:10] ?? [14:10] flash [14:11] firefoxs plug for flash I think [14:11] yep [14:13] ok [14:13] there's not really a lot you can do about it, flash is binary only [14:16] tarek: but from a quick google, you aren't alone [14:16] :) [14:16] bug in flash, unsurprisingly [14:19] is there some possibility to make a shortcut or link to a ftp address that appears like a folder and automatically builds up the ftp conneciton? [14:20] Khedron:? [14:20] Khedron:is there some possibility to make a shortcut or link to a ftp address that appears like a folder and automatically builds up the ftp conneciton? [14:21] hmm [14:22] possibly with the create url link, right click on the desktop [14:22] but I can't say I've tried it [14:22] tried that but it will open the browser [14:23] I don't think thunar can natively do it [14:23] i googeled that and it confirms that [14:23] wait, gigolo can do that I think [14:24] http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/gigolo [14:24] not an especially elegant solution though [14:27] Khedron:is ok installed nautilus :) [14:27] lol [14:27] probably easier :) [14:36] Khedron: me again :), wanted to know how to tell xubuntu explicitly use nautilus? [14:42] i used the apt-get remove command but xubuntu somehow starts thunar [14:42] tarek: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4490813&postcount=2 [14:44] thanks [16:03] leoquant: thanks i'll have a look === m00se is now known as NonSensicalNick === NonSensicalNick is now known as m00se [16:54] Hi [17:10] hello everyone [17:10] anyone can help me out with empathy [17:11] I am using EVDO modem, browsing works but not empathy [17:11] I am using gppp to connect not nm-applet [17:13] I have tried to find empathy in gconf-editor and can not find Empathy on te app list [17:50] hi [17:52] i just noticed that the windowsymbols have changed D_ [17:52] D: [17:52] where can i get the old set of symbols?

[18:37] this is english channel, #ubuntu-fr should know about xubuntu too [18:52] hello, I just installed xubuntu on a notbook( pockard bell dot M fr / 030) but I have problem with graphics card [19:06] what's problems? [19:09] is that it is not the driver of the graphics card. [19:09] i don't know, but i think drivers can get ubuntu from internet [19:12] are you know wiche vertion of linux is more adapted for notbooks ? [19:13] all use same linux kernel [19:13] for norteook? i know ubuntu version for notebooks :) [19:13] what problem you're having? [19:14] ..what's notbook? (seems not typo) [19:14] http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ >> look down for notebook version ;) [19:16] MY MINI-COMPUTER is a Packard Bell (cpu intel atom) [19:16] intel graphics?

[20:12] Thermi: system->hardware drivers [20:12] (or Additional Drivers, as it was renamed recently) [20:13] it only gives me the option to install a broadcom wireless driver -.- [20:38] ?DCC SEND "ff???f?" 0 0 0 [21:01] did you guys lose your artists for maverick or something? [21:01] what is with the default desktop background being this goraud shaded circles like a baby did it? (no offense, but the one for karmic was awesome with the little birds..) [21:06] Neko: you can change it to that [21:06] Sysi, I know but.. it's so disappointing :/ [21:07] the gnome guys didn't do much better either with their purple acne [21:08] simple is beautiful :P [21:12] but after the cave painting ibex and the fractal heron... [21:13] (i don't like it either) but gtk theme is maybe nicest i've seen [21:13] ambience? [21:13] bluebird [21:14] apart from moving the buttons to the wrong side I do appreciate what they did for gnome, for xfce it does look significantly cleaner too [21:14] i've always used custom theme, exept now with kde [21:15] but on top of this finger painting backdrop.. you are distracted from it to that. I put the karmic backdrop in and the whole system takes on a whole new feeling like you want to run linux and not run back to windows 7 or mac ;D [22:48] Hello, i have performance problems with wireless driver ath9k for my Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) [22:49] Anyone care to help solve it or show me how to use a different driver [22:51] Hello [ECHO] [22:52] I can't. Sorry [22:52] mark76, what keeps you back, national security ? [22:53] No. I don't use wireless :p [22:53] hehe [22:53] But I'm sure someone around here must [22:53] on what machine you have that wifi card? [22:54] its a Zotac ZBOX (nettop Ion2) [22:54] ..why did i have google search for that in autocomplete (on ff startpage) [22:55] ? [22:55] just wondering [22:55] its a common search term ? [22:55] you searched for it before .. ? [22:56] Google can now tell you what to search for, or suggest rather .. [22:56] "Atheros AR9285 ubuntu", i really wonder why i've searched for that [22:56] correct search terms on the fly [22:56] but it's irrelevant [22:56] no its not, its the hardware AR9285 [22:56] (ff startpage is different) [22:56] ah you mean that, hmm yes [22:57] i think you can't do anything about it [22:57] does it work on other os? [23:04] Sysi, yes [23:04] strange [23:04] Sysi, tried it on both Windows XP and 7, driver works flawless [23:05] its a Linux problem, the driver is shitty imho [23:05] how does it work badly on what xubuntu version? [23:05] so i figured i could use some common wifi driver instead of ath9k but i odnt know ubuntu well enough to accomplish that on myself [23:05] Sysi, 10.10 [23:05] iirc my other laptop uses it, works well [23:06] try 10.04 [23:06] if you haven't already [23:06] yeah, 9.04 (crunchbang) worked well [23:06] problem is i wiped clean disk and reinstalled [23:06] it's just downloading :P [23:07] you should maybe file a bug [23:07] and i dont want to downgrade to 9.04 or so ,... time consuming [23:07] Sysi, its filed as a bug already, on bugzilla [23:08] 9.04 isn't supported for long, 10.04 would be LTS [23:08] you can wait until they fix it [23:09] idk if you could get and use old kernel [23:09] Sysi, nods, but its not an option for me, ive set up a totally new development environment on 10.10, took me like 10 hours+ [23:09] i dont want to do it again ..
