[04:31] <ubuXubu> good morning members of the xubuntu tribe!
[06:11] <preston> does xfce in xubuntu still set on top some parts of gnome?
[06:12] <preston> ive got an older computer and am loking for something lightweight to put on it
[06:13] <preston> havent actually messed with xubuntu since 9.10 and didnt know if anything had changed in the meantime
[06:27] <ubuXubu> lxde may be a good one
[06:29] <preston> ok
[06:29] <preston> ive been a fan of xfce though
[06:29] <preston> i like the way its laid out
[06:30] <ubuXubu> i was using xubuntu 9.04 on a machine with 512 ram
[14:31] <Sir_Ragnarok> hi, I'm new to Linux.
[14:32] <Sir_Ragnarok> how do I unmount an external hd using the commandline?
[14:32] <Sir_Ragnarok> thx
[14:54] <psycho_oreos> umount
[14:56] <Sir_Ragnarok> just that?
[14:56] <Sir_Ragnarok> $ unmount
[14:56] <psycho_oreos> umount /mnt/foo
[14:57] <Sir_Ragnarok> ok thanks, i'll try that next time
[14:57] <psycho_oreos> err you'll need root privileges so you'll need to append sudo
[14:57] <psycho_oreos> sudo umount /mnt/foo
[14:57] <psycho_oreos> check via `mount' command to see where the device is mounted to
[14:58] <Sir_Ragnarok> I'm going to write that down somewhere, my little bro is currently using computer with xubuntu.
[14:59] <Sir_Ragnarok> again, thanks for helping
[14:59] <psycho_oreos> np
[17:14] <vieuz> hi
[17:14] <charlie-tca> !hi | vieuz
[17:14] <xGrind> hi
[17:14] <vieuz> i have a problem with autologon. Is there someone that can help me ?
[17:16] <charlie-tca> Please ask your question all in one line. All of us are volunteers and will attempt to answer if we know.
[17:16] <vieuz> thanks
[17:17] <vieuz> In the window "New User", i can't check or uncheck the box "Don't ask a password at login" (sorry for the translation, my XUBUNTU karmic is in french) ! The line is in grey
[17:18] <charlie-tca> Did you authenticate/unlock the box?
[17:18] <tdr2009> Ok, i came before a long time ago about a problem with xubuntu, and i figured out the theme that has a problem
[17:19] <vieuz> ? sorry, charly-tca, i don't understand your question
[17:20] <charlie-tca> Maybe it is me not understanding. Are you adding a new user?
[17:20] <vieuz> i have only one box (in grey, i can't check it or uncheck it
[17:20] <tdr2009> a theme that logs you out, and you cant log in until you delete xubuntu folders in ~/.config
[17:20] <vieuz> yes i am
[17:20] <vieuz> i wrote name, and i entered a manual password
[17:20] <charlie-tca> There is a lock button at the bottom, you have to click it and put in the password to be able to add the user and check the boxes
[17:21] <charlie-tca> tdr2009: did you file a bug?
[17:22] <tdr2009> no, i think its already reported, not sure
[17:22] <charlie-tca> It won't really get fixed if there no bug. If there is one, perhaps you could add comments to it?
[17:22] <tdr2009> ill look to see if there is one
[17:22] <charlie-tca> vieuz: starting up a karmic system. let me look
[17:23] <vieuz> i click the lock button, then i entered the password, then i clicked on New User. In the window that appears, I can enter the name of the user, his password, but i can't check or uncheck the box at the bottom ("don't ask a password at login"). Ok i'm waiting for you
[17:25] <tdr2009> I tried adding a user, it asked for password, i entered it, and mine wasnt greyed out
[17:26] <charlie-tca> vieuz: you are right. Give me a minute
[17:26] <tdr2009> of course, i dont know much about this anyway
[17:26] <charlie-tca> tdr2009: in 9.10?
[17:26] <tdr2009> i have 10.10
[17:27] <tdr2009> i did have ubuntu, but I installed xubuntu-desktop, and removed everything that came with ubuntu
[17:28] <tdr2009> but my version is 10.10
[17:28] <charlie-tca> vieuz: looks like a bug to me. I can not check that for any user in xubuntu 9.10
[17:28] <vieuz> ah, it is a good news, if i can say it !
[17:28] <tdr2009> i guess that bug is fixed in 10.10, since i dont have that problem?
[17:29] <charlie-tca> I believe it came about as a result of changes to GDM for gnome desktop. I think you will need to upgrade to 10.04 to resolve it
[17:29] <vieuz> the pb is that i don't have broadband access on internet, just using a 56k modem !!!! it will take a long time to download new version !
[17:30] <charlie-tca> It won't get fixed in 9.10. I am sorry
[17:30] <tdr2009> oh, you could get free cd
[17:30] <charlie-tca> !shipit
[17:32] <charlie-tca> I can't remember the place you can get the xubuntu cd from?
[17:33] <vieuz> on-disk.com
[17:35] <vieuz> I will ask them a CD
[17:35] <vieuz> I have an other pb. Can I ask for your hep ?
[17:35] <charlie-tca> yes
[17:36] <vieuz> when I log with a user, my wifi card starts automatically but I have to enter a password to authorize acces to key ring.
[17:37] <charlie-tca> yes
[17:37] <vieuz> in order my PC to access WiFi.
[17:38] <charlie-tca> yes, that is right. Gnome-keyring does not pick up automatically for Xubuntu 9.10
[17:38] <vieuz> is there a way to avoid entering a password (which is not the WPA passphrase).
[17:39] <vieuz> and if i log with a generic user (group : User) it doesn't ask me a password keyring
[17:39] <charlie-tca> Does the wifi card start automatically with the generic user?
[17:40] <vieuz> yes. and it connects automatically to my hotspot
[17:40] <vieuz> i don't understand why my other user (vincent, group VIncent) doesn't act the same
[17:41] <vieuz> probably because it is not in the same group...
[17:43] <charlie-tca> I don't know the answer to this. Perhaps add vincent to group users ?
[17:44] <vieuz> do you think i will loose my documents i have on my account ?
[17:45] <charlie-tca> No. You can add users to groups without affecting those. You don't move vincent from group Vincent, you just add vincent to the other group
[17:45] <vieuz> OK, i'm trying it right now. I disconnect the chat and i come back. Thanks.
[17:46] <charlie-tca> You´re welcome. Good luck...
[17:59] <vieuz> i'm back
[18:00] <vieuz> it's not working, it doesnt't take my changes. I think i'll stop and i'll wait to upgrade to 10.10
[18:01] <vieuz> anyway, thanks for your help
[18:30] <tdr2009> Ok, I had one more question, but my internet messed up
[18:30] <tdr2009> but, when you have the compositer enabled, are the windows supposed to move slowly?
[18:30] <tdr2009> when they're bigger sized windows?
[18:31] <charlie-tca> That would depend on hardware in use
[18:31] <tdr2009> oh
[18:31] <tdr2009> ok
[18:32] <tdr2009> its just the pointer moves faster than the windows, but thanks for helping
[18:32] <charlie-tca> It would depend on the video card, video memory, ram, and cpu
[18:32] <tdr2009> mines not that powerful, i guess
[18:33] <tdr2009> i know the graphics card and the processor and the ram though
[19:04] <mario_> hi how i had configur wlan0 to connect to internet and now i need to configure eth0 to share this connection to my lan. How can i do this?
[19:48] <tdr2009> Ubottu: Hi

[20:47] <tdr2009> sorry, didnt know if anyone was even here, since noone talked at all
[22:19] <tdr2009> hi
[22:29] <tdr2009> HI
[22:30] <Sysi> !hi
[22:30] <tdr2009> ...........
[22:31] <Sysi> popping question is easier
[22:51] <mark76> Does anyone know where perfectska hangs out?
[22:52] <crawler> hey guys, i just upgraded from xubuntu 9.04 to 10.04 using the update manager, and now i have no mouse cursor.  the session starts up, and the screen blinks and the cursor just disappears.  any idea what's going on?
[22:54] <Sysi> could you try changing cursor theme?
[22:54] <crawler> i suspect it has to do with this: when upgrading, i was asked a couple questions and chose "use package maintainers version" both times
[22:54] <crawler> hi Sysi i'll try that now
[22:57] <crawler> Sysi, i tried changing the cursor theme, but no go..  i'm using the keyboard to navigate the windows but the invisible mouse will still highlight and click things - i just have to guess a lot
[22:57] <crawler> it seems like a driver issue or something...but i don't know much about these things
[22:57] <Sysi> (you shouldn't be able to skip versions when upgrading)
[23:00] <crawler> hmm..not sure what you mean by that.  at the top of the update manager window, there was a button to upgrade to 10.10 lucid (or something similar), and i was reluctant to do it for weeks and weeks.
[23:00] <crawler> now i know why
[23:00] <crawler> i usually do clean installs, but this time i wanted to try upgrading through the update manager
[23:01] <Sysi> upgrading can cause problems but new version may have bugs..
[23:01] <crawler> also, the gnome session works fine, i have a cursor there. just not the xubuntu & default xfce sessions
[23:02] <Sysi> you could try removing settings ~/.config/xfce4/
[23:03] <crawler> ok, i'll try that now
[23:08] <crawler> Sysi, that produces a mouse cursor, and everything looks different...but everything seems sluggish and there are no panels at the top and bottom
[23:08] <Sysi> !panels
[23:09] <Sysi> you propably need to set up theme etc.
[23:09] <crawler> Sysi, thanks a million
[23:10] <crawler> that did the trick
[23:39] <crawler> Sysi, i think i found the problem of the invisible mouse; when i changed the display refresh rate to 75Hz, it seems the display driver crashed.  no i put it back to 60Hz and rebooted.  everything was fine but now the screen is flashing horrible white vertical stripes.
[23:40] <crawler> it's odd because with 9.04 i had the refresh rate @ 75Hz with no problems.  maybe it was that intel driver update i got yesterday??
[23:40] <crawler> (using integrated intel video chip)
[23:42] <crawler> the system has become unresponsive and had to be shut down by holding in the tower's on/off switch
[23:43] <crawler> bah, this is frustrating!  i have never had a *buntu upgrade via the update manager go well.  not in 5+ years
[23:46] <travis2009> ok, i have a problem. Flash all of a sudden stopped working in firefox. I go to youtube and click on video, then its just white where video is supposed to be
[23:47] <travis2009> when i right click where video supposed to be, no menu or nothing pops up
[23:47] <travis2009> ive tried everything, every flash site will not work
[23:47] <travis2009> ive tried it in google chrome, and the flash is really buggy somehow, and it never used to be buggy in chrome until now
[23:47] <travis2009> any suggestions?
[23:48] <crawler> hi travis, i get this problem from time to time..try going to the adobe site and installing the latest .deb
[23:48] <travis2009> ok, ill try that, and tell you if it works
[23:48] <crawler> k
[23:49] <travis2009> wait, .deb or APT?
[23:49] <travis2009> i have 10.10
[23:49] <travis2009> xubuntu 10.10
[23:49] <crawler> there should be a .deb on the abobe site
[23:50] <travis2009> ok, there was a choice of APT or .deb
[23:50] <travis2009> it says: "Error: A later version is already installed"
[23:50] <travis2009> when i run .deb file
[23:51] <crawler> hmm...i don't know then.  maybe try reinstalling flash with synaptic
[23:51] <travis2009> k
[23:51] <crawler> or reinstalling ff
[23:52] <travis2009> i cant find flash in synaptic
[23:52] <crawler> flashplugin?
[23:52] <travis2009> nvm foundi t
[23:52] <travis2009> i only searched flash
[23:53] <crawler> try flashplugin-nonfree
[23:54] <travis2009> ok, done, ill tr FF now
