knomefreebird, :) /join #xubuntu-offtopic00:19
freebirdknome ty so much00:19
knomenp00:20
aladoinsanoI have created the following short script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/544211/ to autostart with Xubuntu, and it does that just fine, but i always get prompted to enter my password, can i somehow avoid that?00:26
knomealadoinsano, well, with gksudo, you should be prompted...00:38
MorphixNWis there anyway I can make my USB to VGA converter work?00:39
aladoinsanoknome, is there a way around that? i need to start this script on start-up but obviously do not want to enter the pass all the time00:40
MorphixNWfreebird: aint that the command I gave you earlier?00:40
knomeMorphixNW, try the package sisusbvga00:41
=== hummer_ is now known as freebird
freebirdsorry what cmd i missed it00:41
MorphixNW"/join #xubuntu-offtopic"00:41
freebirdyes00:41
knomealadoinsano, with gksudo, no. and i don't know if there is any other way either00:41
MorphixNW:)00:42
MorphixNWknome: ty00:42
aladoinsanoknome, maybe i can move the application to my home folder, will try that..00:43
knomealadoinsano, that should make no difference, you're still restarting a service00:43
knomes/should make/makes/00:44
freebirdyou can make a launcher where it gives you admin rights til you close your file system window00:44
knomefreebird, you still need to enter the password00:44
knomealadoinsano, you probably should look into restarting/starting the service in some other runlevel00:45
knome!runlevel00:45
ubottuIn Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab.00:45
knome!upstart00:45
ubottuUpstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/00:45
freebirdpassword?00:45
knomefreebird, well if you run anything that needs root rights, you need to enter a password00:45
freebirdcmd:     gksudo nautilus00:46
freebirdyeah true but you should know the password to the system which you should know if your already on it correct00:47
knomeof course00:48
knomebut that's not automatical00:48
freebirdtrue00:48
aladoinsanook, so there is no way i can have this auto started without being prompted for the password?00:49
knomealadoinsano, do you speicifically need to *restart* the service, or would just starting it be enough?00:50
aladoinsanoknome, no starting it would be fine, it is not started as far as i know. the "restart" came along when i copied the code from the app's .desktop file00:51
freebirdin xfce think its login under system you can turn off your login password but you will still need the password to perform certain task if your lazy and just don't want to type you can copy and paste it in :D00:52
knomealadoinsano, install the package rcconf and run it, you should be able to select starting that service on boot00:55
aladoinsanoknome, it's not in the list when i run rcconf, but maybe i can manually add it somewhere?00:59
knomehmm, that's weird01:00
aladoinsanocan i put the script in /etc/init.d/?01:00
knomeyeah, i suppose you can add that someway01:00
MorphixNWright that me for the night guys, thanks to everyone for your help ill be back tomorrow with more Qs :P01:00
knomeMorphixNW, night01:01
knomealadoinsano, i haven't got that much experience with boot stuff...01:01
aladoinsanook, i think i will call it a night as well, will dig deeper into this tomorrow, thanks for the help though, night01:02

^Phantom^If the xubuntu live CD actually boots on my laptop (the ubuntu one wouldn't) can I please get help making a backup of the hard drive for restoring in case this doesn't work on the laptop?03:36
freebirdsorry only app that may do that that i know of is xclone03:37
^Phantom^I was told in ubuntu that a liveCD can backup/restore the drive as is.03:38
freebirdi'm not saying that it can't i just don't know how to do it03:39
^Phantom^Maybe I'll just split that drive 50/5003:39
^Phantom^And dual-boot.03:39
freebirdmight be easies way03:39
freebirdeasiest*03:39
^Phantom^Once I upgrade the ram, though, I'm putting full ubuntu on it03:40
^Phantom^it has 192mb right now03:40
freebirdi just switched from ubuntu03:40
^Phantom^Nice03:40
freebirdthe irc help is much better with xubuntu03:40
freebirdi just use the gnome interface03:41
^Phantom^Ah03:42
freebirdlooks like real ubuntu has a few different apps installed but basically the same other than running a little faster03:42
^Phantom^I'll start with this tomorrow, though.03:42
^Phantom^^_^03:43
freebirdlol :D btw how much ram you putting in03:43
^Phantom^1GB03:44
^Phantom^the max that mobo supports03:44
freebirdi hear ya03:44
freebirdbrb gotta reboot router03:45
^Phantom^Maybe Lubuntu would be better for that lappy for now?03:45
gr8m8you could do a minimal install03:46
gr8m8!minimal03:46
ubottuThe Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD03:46
freebirdnot sure lubuntu and xubuntu both are fairly low resources not sure which is better thou03:46
gr8m8I think lubuntu is the lowest resource of the 'buntus now03:47
freebirdgr8m8 ty03:47
gr8m8it uses openbox as the window manager03:47
^Phantom^ty gr8m803:47
^Phantom^I'm actually also considering waiting until Christmas, and just buy the ram with my christmas money.03:48
^Phantom^Then put full on ubuntu on it.03:48
freebirdcool  is the laptop extra pc or your main pc03:49
^Phantom^extra03:49
^Phantom^i have a desktop that i use as main03:49
^Phantom^(i'm on it now)03:49
freebirdthen reg ubuntu should run fine with 1g might need to be restarted a little more often but should do fine03:50
^Phantom^Sweet.03:50
* ^Phantom^ misses his laptop that had 2.5GB ram03:51
^Phantom^inverter died03:51
^Phantom^then mobo died03:51
freebirdi had it running on 512 for a while and had to reboot once a day or it went stupid  as long as i rebooted once a day it ran decent outside of being a little sluggish03:52
^Phantom^nice03:53
freebirdouch that sucks when mobo goes out03:53
^Phantom^yeah03:53
^Phantom^electrical problem somewhere, couldn't pinpoint it03:53
^Phantom^it would boot up, but kept restarting03:53
freebirdlol i have a laptop that the proc fan died had to build this system03:53
^Phantom^i thought the fan had died, but it didn't03:54
freebirdcompasitors busted on it sounds like03:54
wizardslovakok i dont toolbars nicely03:54
wizardslovakis there anything i can do to save them03:54
freebirdwizardslovak did it work03:54
wizardslovakso everytime i turn on pc is will be the same?03:54
wizardslovaknaah03:54
^Phantom^freebird, probably03:55
wizardslovaki redone all of them03:55
wizardslovaknow i need to save them somehow03:55
^Phantom^i put the ram in my dads lappy03:55
^Phantom^same model and everything03:55
freebirdgr8m8  do you know bro i'm not sure how to save those settings03:55
wizardslovakhmm03:55
gr8m8they should be saved in ~/.config/xfce/panels03:56
freebirdi'm sure its something simple just have to find the solution03:56
gr8m8start the panel from a terminal to catch why it fails03:56
gr8m8get a good config for the panel then make a backup of that file so it is easier to restore it03:57
wizardslovakok03:58
wizardslovakhow do i back it up then?03:58
wizardslovaki neve had problem in kubuntu03:58
wizardslovaklol03:58
wizardslovakthis xfce makes problems everytime03:58
gr8m8right click the file - select copy - right click an empty space in the folder and select paste03:58
wizardslovakwhich file?03:59
gr8m8~/.config/xfce4/panel03:59
gr8m8sorry it is a folder - the folder has the applet configs in it04:00
wizardslovakyea04:00
wizardslovaki am trying to find it04:00

wizardslovakxfce404:02
gr8m8no backup the panel folder in the xfce4 folder04:02
gr8m8the panel folder is in the xfce4 folder04:02
freebirdhe may have permissoin rights issue trying to back those up04:02
wizardslovaki got admin password04:03
gr8m8he shouldn't do 'cause it is user created04:03

freebirdkk good luck04:04
freebirdhow long have you been a party of the ubuntu community gr8m804:05
freebirdyou very resourceful04:05
gr8m8I started with the warty release04:05
gr8m82004 I think04:05
freebirdoh wow pretty much when they first came out with it04:06
gr8m8only way I learned was to try stuff and break things then I'd have to learn how to fix it04:07
wizardslovakok04:07
wizardslovaksame think04:07
freebird1 month 1/2 here i'm a noob but so far isn't to hard to learn04:07
gr8m8wizardslovak: no panels?04:07
wizardslovaki got panels04:07
gr8m8good panels?04:07
wizardslovakbut not those i customized04:07
wizardslovaki got those stock ones04:08
freebirdok can he costumise them again if he still has panels back up panels again04:08
wizardslovaki got backup04:09
gr8m8I would kill the panels then restore the backup you made and start the panels from a terminal to see the errors04:09
wizardslovakok i killed them04:09
wizardslovakxfce4-panel04:10
wizardslovakturn them on04:10
wizardslovakbut terminal is like stuck04:10
gr8m8ctrl+c to unstick it but the panels will go away04:11
wizardslovakit changed line lower but without wizzy@wizzy:~$04:11
wizardslovakyes they went away04:11
gr8m8xfce4-panel &   will run the panels and let the terminal be free04:11
gr8m8the & means keep running the app in the background04:11
wizardslovakit showed me [1] 165404:12
gr8m8that's fine04:12
wizardslovakbut its PITA to do that everytime i restart pc04:12
gr8m8are the panels how you want them now?04:13
wizardslovakno04:13
freebirdhas it gone back to the prompt yet?04:13
wizardslovakyes04:13
wizardslovakwith & on end it went04:13
wizardslovakbut still04:13
wizardslovakpanels are not those i customized04:14
wizardslovakgrrr04:14
wizardslovakok04:15
wizardslovakthats weird04:15
wizardslovaki moved panel up to my screen04:15
wizardslovakand i got lots of errors in terminal04:15
gr8m8kill the panels - rename the panel folder and start the panels again - does a new panel folder get made in .config/xfce4 ?04:16
gr8m8whatr sort of errors?04:16
wizardslovakhttp://pastebin.com/NxQEXx9F04:16
gr8m8what does    ls -la ~/.config/xfced4   return in terminal ?04:18
gr8m8you have permission errors04:18
gr8m8that should have been    ls -la ~/.config/xfce404:19
wizardslovakhttp://pastebin.com/UXYMqt5h04:20
wizardslovakhmmm panel folder is ROOT04:20
gr8m8you must have done some things with sudo or something04:21
wizardslovakhmm04:21
wizardslovaknothing in xfce4 folder04:21
freebirdhow would you repair sudoer ?04:21
wizardslovaklast think i did was update and apache2 configs04:22
wizardslovaki did "sudo adduser username admin"04:22
wizardslovakit showed me that username is already member of admin04:22
gr8m8in terminal do   sudo chown -Rv wizardslovak:wizardslovak .config/xfce4/panel04:22
gr8m8you should be fine to change the panel but run it from terminal to check first04:23
wizardslovakehh04:25
wizardslovakdid it04:25
wizardslovakkilled panel04:25
wizardslovakthen started it again04:25
wizardslovakand same think04:25
wizardslovaki even changed panel folder with the one i backed up04:26
wizardslovakstill nothing04:26
wizardslovakbtw ls -la ~/.config/xfce4 shows same thinkk04:27
wizardslovakpanel owend by root04:27
gr8m8did you do the chown bit?04:34
delirusI'm probably missing something really obvious in my googlings, but I can't seem to find a good guide on how to share a folder over a network (two xubuntu machines).  Already ran shares-admin on both machines to install necessary stuff.  And set the proper folder on the host machine...  hrm.04:34
gr8m8wizardslovak: and make sure you do everything else as your user not root or sudo -i or something04:35
wizardslovakhmm04:35

wizardslovaki did that chown think04:35
wizardslovaki use sudo only for updates and when working with apache04:36
wizardslovaknothing else04:36

wizardslovakhmm04:46
wizardslovakneighter do i04:46
wizardslovaki never had problems with kubuntu hmmm04:47
wizardslovaki am seriously thinking to reformat pc again04:47
freebirdsudo cmd itself doesn't give you a error does it if you try to do sudo apt-get update04:47
gr8m8I would kill the panel and delete the panel folder, close the terminal and open a new one and start the panel and check who owns the folder that gets made04:48
wizardslovak"command not found04:48
freebirdhmm04:48
wizardslovakfailed to remove panel04:49
wizardslovakfailder to remove "xfce4-menu-5.rc"04:50

wizardslovakno04:51
wizardslovaki cant remove folder even with rm -r04:51
wizardslovakaccess denied04:51
freebirdin termal             " gksudo nautilus"      this should open a root file system try to delete it this way04:52

wizardslovakthank you people05:04
wizardslovakhow long u been using xubuntu?05:04
gr8m8yw :)05:04
freebirdme? little over a month05:05
gr8m8I used it for a year in '06 I use archlinux now05:05
gr8m8I prefer minimalism05:06
wizardslovakyea05:06
freebirdis archlinux a user friendly linux05:06
wizardslovakreason i got xubuntu is for its lower requirements05:06
wizardslovaki like to play with virtualization05:06
wizardslovakbtw05:06
gr8m8no - you have to know about the base system to get things working well05:06
freebirdme to and ubuntu is going to unity interface and i don't like the cloud look so looking for a alteritive interface05:07
wizardslovakfreebird,  get virtualbox and check archlinux in it05:07
gr8m8I would recommend reading the arch wiki before doing any installs05:07
freebirdlol ty wizard i have it i just have to download and try archlinux05:08
wizardslovakoh ok05:08
wizardslovak;)05:08
gr8m8it doesn't work like ubuntu does05:08

wizardslovakthats how i tried lots of linux oses before choosing05:08
wizardslovakhow different it is?05:08
gr8m8not really but there are similarities05:08
wizardslovakwith your own words05:09
freebirdme to i like fedora but i don't like thier software center05:09
gr8m8arch doesn't have any friendly gui apps for software installing05:09
wizardslovaki liked suse05:09
gr8m8you have to be confident on the cli05:10
wizardslovakbut i love ubuntu apt-get command05:10
wizardslovakseriously i prefer do in terminal then gui05:10
wizardslovaki am not pro with it , i started as i wanted to learn ubuntu server05:10
wizardslovakfun to learn tho05:10

wizardslovakyeap05:10
wizardslovakbut much faster05:11
wizardslovak;)05:11
gr8m8I would recommend doing an ubuntu minimal install as practise before trying a distro like arch05:11
gr8m8that'll teach you what you do and don't know05:11
wizardslovakhmm05:12
freebirdthat might be a good ideal i love the command line but i don't know the cmds that well so how would you learn them05:12
gr8m8I use the tab key in the terminal to cut down on mistakes05:12
gr8m8!tab05:12
ubottuYou can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.05:12
wizardslovakhuh i dont know much commands too05:12
wizardslovakjsut few05:12
freebirdnice didn't know about the tab05:13
wizardslovakhow do u install arch > netinstall image or core cd?05:13
wizardslovakyea tab think is cool05:13
gr8m8it starts from a cde then you get most everything else from the net05:13
gr8m8s/cde/cd/05:13
wizardslovaki am checking the arch linux dw page05:14
wizardslovakthey got two net and core05:14
gr8m8read the beginners page on the wiki first05:14
gr8m8or you'll get into trouble with it05:14
freebirdgr8m8,  do you know much about configuring ssh to connect to 127.0.0.1 and then connecting to auctual ip as ssh205:15
gr8m8no - there might be a clue in the ubuntu wiki05:15
gr8m8!ssh05:15
ubottuSSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon)05:15
freebirdok ty i'll look at it05:16
wizardslovaklots of reading05:16
gr8m8for forwarding x through ssh you use localhost so read on that05:16
gr8m8it'll give a clue05:16
wizardslovakfor now i just get better with ubuntu linuxes05:16
freebirdkk05:16
gr8m8good idea - linux needs practise to use properly05:17
freebirdhow long have you been using linux wizardslovak05:17

freebirdso more less you just need more time in it to learn05:18
wizardslovakyea05:18
wizardslovaki like to be unique hehe05:18

freebirdthink we all do lol05:18
wizardslovakall of my friends use windows or macs05:18
wizardslovakyea05:18
wizardslovaki like to play with apache and server stuff05:19

gr8m8wizardslovak: if it isn't a gui app start it in /etc/local05:42
freebirdfreevo starts atomatically but i hated it started before you got to log in screen05:42
freebirdyou can add your app that you like to startup05:44
wizardslovakhmm05:45
wizardslovakcant find local folder05:45
wizardslovaknor file05:45
wizardslovakhow do i add app to startup?05:47
gr8m8there's an autostart tab in the window manager settings iirc05:48
wizardslovakdont see it there05:49
wizardslovakohh05:50

freebirdi'm glad he knws where it is in xfce i only know how to find it in gnome05:50
wizardslovakwell05:51
wizardslovaki just need to point me05:51
wizardslovakthen i should be able to do it hehe05:51
gr8m8and the file should have /etc/rc.local so my bad05:51
wizardslovak;)05:51
wizardslovakthank you people05:51
freebirdisn't there a cmd you can type in terminal to get the location of a app gr8m805:51
gr8m8yep it is the   which   command05:52
freebirdwhich empathy05:52
freebirdlike that05:52
gr8m8so which vlc would return /usr/bin/vlc05:52
gr8m8yep05:53
freebirdok got ya05:53
freebirdty i was trying to google it and couldn't find it lol05:53
gr8m8most apps are in /usr/bin05:53
gr8m8not all but most05:53
freebirdyeah i have a gard time trying to figure out what goes to what app lol05:54
freebirdhard*05:54
wizardslovakhow do i find out which apps are running?05:54
freebirdlike libs and extra files that they need to run05:55
freebirdps05:55
gr8m8using   top   in terminal will tell the most active ones05:55
wizardslovak;)05:55
gr8m8ps would give like 1700 lines or so05:56
wizardslovakthank you05:56
gr8m8I was wrong ps here gives 4 lines05:57
freebirdlol but it works lol only way i know how to look up processes :P05:57
freebirdis there a better way05:57
gr8m8I never try to do that - I use ps aux | grep appname to find out about a particular app05:58
freebirdsometimes it doesn't show all the processes espeacially when you need to kill a process05:58
freebirdaux for auxilary?05:59
gr8m8top is a good app for that - with it running press k and enter the pid of the app you need to kill05:59
gr8m8aux are diff options to ps - read man ps to find out more :)06:00
freebirdtop thats the name of the app right?06:00
gr8m8yep06:00
gr8m8q stops top from running06:00
freebirdk makes it start right06:01
gr8m8k gives a line above the table asking for the pid06:01
gr8m8to kill06:01
gr8m8all you need to do is start top and you'll see it updating06:02
freebirdcool ty06:04

MorphixNWI cant find it lol15:24
MorphixNWcharlie-tca: your right, I can load it from terminal ;)15:24
MorphixNWgok works too :P15:24
charlie-tca__I work with the accessibility team on that stuff; re-wrote half the wiki for them too15:28
MorphixNWwkd :)15:28
charlie-tca__The major problem with it is that you have to use a hardware keyboard to enter passwords in the GUI15:29
MorphixNWI think I can live with that :)15:29
charlie-tca__yeah, but those who need the thing can't use it15:29
MorphixNWtruew15:30
MorphixNWtrue*15:30
charlie-tca__problem - I use claws-mail and need a filter such that if the Subject is the same as the Date, it goes to junk.15:49
charlie-tca__anyone know how to create it?15:49
MorphixNWbeats me15:50
MorphixNWcan any mail client for ubuntu collect from hotmail?15:51
charlie-tca__If you can do it with outlook, I would think so.15:51
charlie-tca__But I would not know how to do it15:52
MorphixNWcant be done anymore with outlook15:52
TheSheepbeats me is not a nice answer15:52
charlie-tca__+115:53
MorphixNWTheSheep: its a way of saying "I dont know" thats all15:53
MorphixNWTheSheep: Nothing nasty etc15:53
TheSheepdo you know what would happen if all people on this chnnel answered 'I don't know' every time someone asks a question? :)15:53
MorphixNWTheSheep: Your being very picky15:54
charlie-tca__and the answer to the hotmail question is "yes"15:54
MorphixNWTheSheep: its better then no answer at all15:54
MorphixNWCharlie-tca: thank you kindly :)15:54
charlie-tca__MorphixNW: evolution can read hotmail.15:54
Sysi(somebody could ansver later)15:54
charlie-tca__see https://hjelp.ubuntu.com/community/UsingHotmailWithEvolution15:54
MorphixNWCharlie-TCA: awesome stuff, outlook stopped it years ago, so very glad it can be done :)15:55
MorphixNWSysi: and someone most probably will15:55
charlie-tca__see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingHotmailWithEvolution15:55
charlie-tca__I guess I should quit typing URL's. I get them all wrong15:55
MorphixNWcharlie-tca: thank you once again :)15:55
MorphixNWlol15:55
charlie-tca__You are welcome15:56
MorphixNW:)15:56
charlie-tca__Looking at that, you could use any mail client15:56
charlie-tca__It's just a matter of putting the information in the right places15:57
MorphixNWI will most definately be looking at that after my bath, thanks :)15:57
hrwhi16:03
hrwis there a ppa with xfce 4.8pre packages for maverick?16:04
charlie-tca__no16:04
charlie-tca__hrw: Most likely it will not be backported16:04
hrwthx16:04
hrwI just upgraded my arm netbook from maverick to natty and 4.8pre is awesome16:05
charlie-tca__agreed16:05
hrwbut x86 laptop used by wife has to wait for release16:05
charlie-tca__why? we have the natty images out16:05
charlie-tca__The daily images are working again16:06
hrwbecause it is natty and I do not want to answer questions like "why it broke? it was working last time"16:06
charlie-tca__okay16:06
charlie-tca__Well, it is only a few months.16:06
hrwxfce4-places-plugin needs rebuild to work16:06
hrwI did that locally and it works fine16:07
charlie-tca__yup, so does the weather plugin16:07
hrwweather one fails even after rebuild16:07
charlie-tca__hrw: are you using the new panel configuration from Xfce or the xubuntu defaults?16:12
hrwI reconfigured panel before and got some parts of configuration destroyed during migration16:13
charlie-tca__ah16:13
charlie-tca__I chose the "default" and wound up with the Xfce panel instead. It is kind of neat!16:13
hrwbut I am considering rm -rf ~/.xfce to check defaults16:14
charlie-tca__heh, gets you a top panel with quit on the right, task list, systemtray, clock16:15
hrws/rm -rf/mv ;d16:15
charlie-tca__bottom panel is centered and short, just 4 launchers and application finder16:15
charlie-tca__I really like the way the panel properties are set up now16:16
hrwI checked defaults and reverted to my setup16:17
hrw1024x600 is small resolution16:17
hrw20px panel is enough16:17
charlie-tca__It is. Do you use a single panel on that?16:17
hrwyes16:18
charlie-tca__yup, I don't think what I have would be good for smaller screens16:18
hrwappmenu places quicklaunch(settings,term,chrome,claws) tasklist battery clock quitmenu16:18
charlie-tca__Keeps it tight16:19
hrw4.6 had settings menu which I miss in 4.816:19
charlie-tca__really?16:19
hrwno, sorry16:19
charlie-tca__It's there,16:19
hrwit was 'settings' item in appmenu16:19
charlie-tca__look in application finder for settings manager16:20
hrwI have settings icon in quicklaunch for it now16:20
charlie-tca__I think almost everything is in there, just in the wrong places.16:20
charlie-tca__Once we settle on the panel configuration, we will put things back in the menu, too16:21
Sysihum, i could upgrade my testmachine16:21
hrwI need to get NM applet back16:22
charlie-tca__I don't know if upgrades are working yet. They upgraded python to 2.7 and it broke things16:22
Sysihum.. the debian way?16:22
hrwSysi: maverick->natty or natty testmachine?16:22
Sysiversion upgrade16:22
hrwSysi: first do update to maverick-updates16:23
charlie-tca__maverick to natty broke no matter how you did it16:23
hrwotherwise python will hit you16:23
Sysiwell then i won't16:23
hrwcharlie-tca__: I upgraded maverick -> natty today on one machine16:23
charlie-tca__Maybe they got that fixed then.16:23
hrwif you do maverick -> maverick-updates -> natty then it will work16:23
hrwotherwise you need to install 2 python packages from maverick-updates16:24
Sysi(how) do i need to configure repositories?16:24
* hrw updates by apt-get/aptitude16:24
charlie-tca__run     update-manager -d     and it will take of it changing them16:25
charlie-tca__hrw: do you have network-manager-gnome installed? That should give the panel icon16:25
hrwhrw@efika:~$ DISPLAY=:0 nm-applet16:26
hrw** (nm-applet:28113): WARNING **: <WARN>  request_name(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service. Error: (9) Connection ":1.76" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the configuration file16:26
hrwif I run as root it works16:27
Sysii think i've seen solution for that on archwiki16:27
hrwuid=1001(hrw) gid=1003(hrw) grupy=1003(hrw),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),29(audio),44(video),46(plugdev),111(lpadmin),121(sambashare),1001(admin),1004(networkmanager)16:27
Sysii like this fedora, but *buntu is betterly translated16:28
Sysiyum and apt are good in different things16:28
charlie-tca__hrw: add your user to "dialout" or "dip" , or both. I can't remember which one controls that16:29
Sysihow do i reset gnome keyring?16:30
charlie-tca__I have to let someone take that one, Sysi. I don't know16:30
hrwcharlie-tca__: added to dip as I was in dialout alrady16:31
hrwcharlie-tca__: it was dip16:31
hrwthx16:31
hrwmaverick NM looked better ;(16:32
* charlie-tca__ just can't make some people happy :-)16:33
charlie-tca__I know16:33
charlie-tca__Are you using the elementaryXubuntu icons?16:35
Sysiis that newer python on maveric-backports, what if i update that?16:35
charlie-tca__Maybe they changed which icon it gets16:35
hrwcharlie-tca__: now elementary16:35
charlie-tca__Sysi: I don't know what that will do16:35
Sysii could check..16:36
charlie-tca__should be able to run     sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist upgrade16:36
charlie-tca__then run     update-manager -d16:36
charlie-tca__to upgrade to natty16:36
charlie-tca__elementaryXubuntu has some changes to the icons, but I don't know if that was one of them16:37
charlie-tca__I have faenza running here, and it is very different16:37
hrwcharlie-tca__: I meant menu16:37
charlie-tca__oh16:37
charlie-tca__Yeah, Xubuntu has not done anything to the menu in Natty yet16:37
hrwnetbook with 22MB/s storage is pain16:38
charlie-tca__heh, I would think so16:39
MorphixNWnot got an SDslot? I used to have an EEE with 4GB SSD, I added a 32GB SDHC Card :)16:39
SysiSD cards are slow too16:40
brotdepends on the class16:40
hrwMorphixNW: SD and microSD - both ~20MB/s16:41

charlie-tca__Reminder - Xubuntu Community Meeting in #ubuntu-meeting in 25 minutes; everyone invited; agenda is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Meetings17:34
charlie-tca__well, that's wrong. The meeting is in 1-1/2 hours at 19:00 UTC17:35
charlie-tca__\o/17:36
=== charlie-tca__ is now known as charlie-tca
Sysii wonder if do-release-upgrade does a lot spesific stuff compared to manually swapping repos and upgrading18:20
TheSheepSysi: I always did the latter18:20
charlie-tcaThat's a very good question18:20
Sysiit's a python script, should be readable18:20
Sysii've never done version upgrade before18:21
* charlie-tca shrugs18:21
charlie-tcaI do them almost monthly18:21
Sysii don't need to test.. just want working system18:22
charlie-tcaBut I don't use do-release-upgrade, I use update-manager or change the sources.list manually18:22
SysiSysi believes in cli18:23
MorphixNWcan anyone tell me, are there different versions of "Task Manager", as I have two machines setup, however, each have slight differences, the "task man" being the one that bugs me as one lacks the functions that the other has18:26
charlie-tcaMorphixNW: xubuntu switched from Gnome-task-manager to xfce4-task-monitor in 10.1018:28
SysiMorphixNW: there is gnome-system-monitor xfce4-taskmanager and kde has own too18:28
Sysido-release upgrade uses update-manager-core, dunno what it's doing18:29
MorphixNWI am running 10.10 on this machine I would like the task man that I have on 10.04, is that possible?18:29
Sysiinstall gnome-system-monitor18:30
MorphixNWwill that auto control over the one I have now?18:30
Sysihow do you mean?18:31
Sysiit doesn't remove it18:31
MorphixNWwill it replace the existing one?18:31
MorphixNWso I need to remove xfc4-taskmanager?18:31
charlie-tcaremove xfce4-taskmanager and install gnome-system-monitor18:32
Sysiif you want rid of it18:32
MorphixNWcharlie-tca: thank you18:32
MorphixNWsysi: : thank you18:32
charlie-tcaWhat is missing?18:32
MorphixNWthe system tab18:32
charlie-tcait's included; if you are missing tasks, just go to preferences and check "show all processes"18:33
MorphixNWtried that charlie18:33
MorphixNWstill doesnt show me the "system tab" that tab is good, as it show me system information18:34
charlie-tcaOh, that one18:34
charlie-tcasorry, I never used that tab18:34
MorphixNWbut installing gnome-system-monitor and removing xfce4-task-manager has done the trick nicely :)18:35
charlie-tcaReminder - Xubuntu Community Meeting in #ubuntu-meeting in 25 minutes; everyone invited; agenda is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Meetings18:35
MorphixNWI like it, as it shows the system info in a simular way that Bindows does "System Properties"18:35
charlie-tcaYeah, I never used it in windows, either18:36
MorphixNWlol18:36
charlie-tcaXubuntu Community Meeting in #ubuntu-meeting now, please18:59

Arpad2video card in my pc is not on the list of this website: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsNvidia  , does it mean that I should find another model for my computer ?20:11

Arpad2I dont have 3D support20:12
charlie-tcawhat card?20:12
Arpad27600 GT20:12
Arpad2there isnt even proprietry driver for this card20:14
charlie-tcaThat's nvidia, right?20:14
charlie-tcanouveau will have support next release20:14
charlie-tcanvidia current should work with it20:15
Arpad2current works without D20:15
Arpad23D20:15
charlie-tcawow! I didn't know that. current gives me 3d on my 620020:16
charlie-tcaYup, time for a new one, then, if you want 3d20:16
Arpad2ok, I dont know th ereason why..20:17
charlie-tcabecause nvidia doesn't always make things work for us ?20:17
Arpad2the other big company is more linux friendly?20:18
Arpad2ATI ?20:18
Sysidefinitely not20:18
charlie-tcanot20:18
charlie-tcabut you can get 3d without hardware drivers in ATI20:19
charlie-tcaDoes it give you any errors when trying to run 3d?20:19
Sysi4xxx works great with opendrivers, 5 series can be real pain20:19
Arpad2only when I tried to run xscreensaver20:19
Arpad2but now I removed that program20:20
Arpad2so no screensaver on a new LED monitor  :'(20:20
