[04:22] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> hello i have a stupid qestion im using xfce4 and i cant seem to find a way to move my panels elements where i want, for example i cant find a way to move the "show desktop" button to the left, out of its default position.
[04:22] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> there is a "move" option when you right click an element, but the only thing it does is to grey out the whole panel and wont let me drag the element i clicked anywhere

[07:12] <Dracco> Hello. I've installed xubuntu on my boss pc, installed samba server, checked at home and it worked like a charm even with those darn windows. I took the pc to my boss, connected it, connected printer to it, installed printer drivers (automatic) and it was all working. Printer was visible and usable from both xubuntu pc and windows xp pc. Next day my boss called me that it is not working. I checked it, it was true. Restart of xubuntu machine, it wo
[07:12] <Dracco> rks again... for a moment. After that it stopped and started working few times and in final stopped working at all. Printer was even visible later, but not reachable for the xp machine. Can something be done with it? I don't really want to install xp there, as there are even no drivers on cd (and no net, and i'm not gonna use my mobile as modem again).
[07:51] <Dracco> *bump*
[08:04] <moetunes> if it is in xp too then it is prob a hardware issue
[08:05] <Dracco> printing from xp worked (when printer was connected to xp machine)
[08:05] <Dracco> so i supposed its something related to samba
[08:10] <Dracco> well ok i have to go fix that problem now :P if i dont fix it ima install xp :/
[08:10] <Dracco> cya :)
[09:08] <Balsaq> hello knome
[11:32] <Dracco> Hello folks =). Again I am asking for your help :P. I reconfigured samba server and set up the network with windows, printer now works like a charm, but what troubles me is that I have to run "sudo service smbd restart" every time i log in. Can i automate it somehow? It wouldn't be problem for me but peps in the company are rather lower in computer skills.
[11:47] <TheSheep> Dracco: you can set it to autostart on startup
[11:47] <TheSheep> Dracco: in system->services
[11:47] <Dracco> but not with sudo :/
[11:48] <moetunes> rc.local perhaps
[11:50] <Dracco> (just googled) and would putting a script into /etc/init.d work?
[11:50] <TheSheep> Dracco: it's a deamon, just set it to start
[11:50] <TheSheep> Dracco: it already has a script in there
[11:50] <Dracco> oh
[11:50] <TheSheep> Dracco: it's just not enabled
[11:50] <Sysi> sysv-rc-config orwhatitwas maybe
[11:51] <Dracco> ok so ill try rc.local
[11:52] <TheSheep> sysv-rc-conf
[11:53] <Dracco> uno momento, this junk is slow >.<
[11:56] <Dracco> ok added a line to rc.local
[11:56] <Dracco> restarting
[11:57] <Dracco> ok something happened to a printer o.O
[12:00] <Dracco> ok i think it works, restarting again (forgot if i started it manually or not ^^)
[12:01] <TheSheep> btw, rc.local is already run as root, so no need for sudo
[12:01] <Dracco> i know ;)
[12:01] <Dracco> ok it works :D
[12:01] <Dracco> thx guys :*
[12:13] <Dracco> ok im out and away, once again thx :)
[13:54] <szpuni> hell
[13:54] <szpuni> hello
[13:55] <szpuni> did anybody played with UCK with live cd?
[13:55] <szpuni> i would like to change start menu but i can't find configuration file which is responsible for it
[16:03] <_maddy> file:///home/pekka/Pictures/Noora/007.JPG
[16:04] <_maddy> that's not what I wanted to paste...
[16:05] <_maddy> but this: I bought ATI 6870 graphics card, but it doesn't work with fglrx, so I had to disable it, but now I am stuck with low resolution...how to fix?
[18:56] <theGman> Where can I go to dl the latest wicd install file? The laptop I need it on has no conn atm...so I need to dl it on this one and then xfer the file manually. :)
[18:56] <theGman> Thus apt-get or aptitude install won't work
[19:03] <TheSheep> !info apt-zip
[19:04] <TheSheep> theGman: try that
[19:05] <theGman> TheSheep: Thx
[19:07] <theGman> Ok...but how/where do I get the actual wicd file from?
[19:07] <TheSheep> apt-zip will generate a script that will download it for you
[19:08] <TheSheep> with all the dependencies
[19:08] <TheSheep> you can also look at http://packages.ubuntu.com
[19:09] <theGman> And I have no way to get apt-zip onto the other laptop.
[19:09] <TheSheep> yeah, it should be installed by default in my opinion, it's not big
[20:17] <michef_chudy> hi can someone give a noob a bit of help with getting xubuntu to work please?
[20:18] <moetunes> depends on how it isn't working...
[20:22] <michef_chudy> when I installed it for the first time I ran into a bug: the xubuntu splash screen appears, then it goes black and everything stops. so I was advised to go through the grub menu and select the recovery mode. a week later, that doesn't seem to work any more.
[20:23] <michef_chudy> basically, if I select failsafeX in the recovery menu, it just blinks and takes me back to the recovery menu.
[20:24] <michef_chudy> do it a couple more times, and it opens a shell window.
[20:24] <michef_chudy> any ideas??
[20:33] <ubuntu> i just tried search function in xchat, i cant remebr the name for the ppc specific channel for xubuntu/ubuntu
[20:33] <ubuntu> some1 mind reminding me?
[20:40] <ubuntu> hi im installing from live xubuntu 9.04, im in partitioning stage, and i was wondering if there is anyspecial consideration[s] i need to make as far as filesystem goes for wanting to dual boot mac os9 and xubuntu 9.04/9.10?
[20:42] <charlie-tca> ubuntu: #ubuntu-ppc or #ubuntu-powerpc
[20:42] <charlie-tca> I don't the specialties for mac, myself
[20:42] <michef_chudy> charli-tca: hi, i think you helped me out before
[20:43] <ubuntu> charlie-tca, , i dont think i understand wut u mean
[20:43] <charlie-tca> michef_chudy: Tried doing a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[20:44] <charlie-tca> ubuntu: channels for ppc
[20:44] <ubuntu> i understand the channels part, but specialty line has me gessing
[20:44] <charlie-tca> I don't know if there are anything special for dual booting macs
[20:44] <michef_chudy> charlie-tca: no. I'll try that from the command line now
[20:48] <ubuntu> charlie-tca, ahh, btw thx for refreshing my mem on the ppc specific channels
[20:48] <charlie-tca> You are welcome
[21:08] <chudy_michef> charlie-tca: hi. I tried what you suggested. It downloaded a bunch of files for six minutes, then it unpacked them and the screen went black. The hard drive seems to be working away doing something, but nothing obvious is happening. Is it safe for me to switch off and on again do you think?
[21:09] <charlie-tca> wait for the drive to quit first
[21:09] <chudy_michef> okay
[21:10] <chudy_michef> btw, just for future reference -  how can I launch the xubuntu gui from the command line?
[21:11] <walt> how do I make xfce4-term not eat the alt key?
[21:12] <walt> actually, I just realised it works in irssi. But it does not work in vim. What is the equivalent to --meta8 in xfce4-terminal?
[21:13] <charlie-tca> chudy_michef: don't know
[21:13] <Sysi> have you checked hotkeys
[21:15] <michef_chudy> charlie-tca: okay the drive has finished working. now I'm back to the command line.
[21:15] <charlie-tca> so the screen came back
[21:15] <charlie-tca> try a restart
[21:16] <michef_chudy> charlie-tca: yes. what do I type to do that?
[21:17] <charlie-tca> sudo shutdown -r now
[21:18] <michef_chudy> charlie-tca: okay. it's rebooting...
[21:20] <michef_chudy> charlie-tca: xubuntu splash appears, and... that's it. hangs, same as before. shall I switch on and off and go for the grub menu again?
[21:20] <charlie-tca> yes
[21:20] <charlie-tca> Have you tried adding nomodeset to the boot line?
[21:22] <michef_chudy> I can't remember. I could do that now. Something's different now, though: there are more options at the grub menu. Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-25-generic and Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-21-generic (plus associated recovery modes)
[21:23] <michef_chudy> which of those should I edit the boot line of?
[21:24] <michef_chudy> (neither of them has nomodeset)
[21:27] <charlie-tca> yes, you get a new line for each kernel upgrade.
[21:27] <charlie-tca> You can edit the top kernel line, just add nomodeset to the end of the line, after quiet splash
[21:28] <charlie-tca> then boot with Ctrl+x , I think it is.
[21:30] <michef_chudy> ctrl-x it is. booting now.
[21:30] <michef_chudy> ...and it hangs at the splash screen...
[21:31] <charlie-tca> hmm
[21:32] <charlie-tca> What video card do you have/
[21:32] <charlie-tca> ?
[21:32] <michef_chudy> Uh. Don't know. I'll try and check.
[21:32] <michef_chudy> Btw, I've switched off and on again. and this time it didn''t hang, it just went to 'Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode.'
[21:33] <charlie-tca> That's a good sign
[21:33] <charlie-tca> So, you should be able to get a desktop from there
[21:34] <michef_chudy> Yup. Where will I find a list of installed hardware?
[21:34] <charlie-tca> lspci in a terminal
[21:34] <charlie-tca> look for video or graphics
[21:36] <michef_chudy> the only options I can see on the screen are as follows. bar at top: applications, places, firefox icon, help icon, power icon, network icon, speaker icon, time, quit icon. desktop: home, file system, wastebasket. bar at bottom: restore hidden windows, current workspace, switch workspace
[21:37] <charlie-tca> applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
[21:37] <charlie-tca> then type lspci and hit enter
[21:37] <michef_chudy> okay thanks
[21:38] <michef_chudy> is it VGA Compatible Controller or Display Controller, maybe?
[21:39] <charlie-tca> sounds right
[21:39] <charlie-tca> what does it say?
[21:39] <michef_chudy> Okay so for both of those it says: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
[21:39] <charlie-tca> something like this: VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000] (rev c1)
[21:40] <charlie-tca> yup
[21:40] <charlie-tca> that's it
[21:40] <charlie-tca> so, you are not so lucky...
[21:40] <michef_chudy> why not??
[21:43] <charlie-tca> it isn't working ?
[21:44] <michef_chudy> I thought you meant there was a particular problem with my graphics card ?
[21:45] <charlie-tca> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen might help
[21:46] <charlie-tca> or, better yet, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Lucid845gAnd855gmGpuFreezes?highlight=%28855GM%29|%28intel%29
[21:46] <charlie-tca> specific to your card
[21:47] <michef_chudy> okay. I tried all the things that the first of those links suggests already. but the second one, I haven't seen yet. just looking at it now...
[21:49] <charlie-tca> this, too, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes
[21:55] <michef_chudy> ah. I've just found sth that works. I deleted 'splash' (after 'quiet') from the grub file. now it seems to boot fine (except for the 'low graphics mode' error, which I can live with)
[21:55] <michef_chudy> thanks for the links. I guess there's more than one bug that I'm dealing with - one with splash causing the system to hang, and one with my graphics card (causing the low graphics mode)
[21:57] <michef_chudy> anyway, thanks!!
[21:57] <michef_chudy> bye, charlie-tca
[21:58] <charlie-tca> You are welcome
[21:58] <michef_chudy> seeya
