[09:32] <Guest63714> hello i was wondering if i could get some help about my wireless network
[09:33] <brot> Guest63714: whats your problem?
[09:33] <Guest63714> my wifi adapter doesn't seem to show up
[09:34] <Guest63714> i've been looking for drivers or some way around it finally had to hook up my ethernet cable
[09:34] <brot> what version of ubuntu do you run, and what wifi adapter do you have?
[09:35] <Guest63714> i'm on Xubuntu 10.04, and my wireless adapter is a Actiontec 802AIN
[09:35] <Guest63714> all i can find is 802UXX, but oddly my adapter has worked on ubuntu
[09:37] <Guest63714> lol i usually try not to ask for help but i'm at the end of my knowledge on this distro and overall linux
[09:42] <Guest63714> i'm performing a update so perhaps that will fix the problem
[09:43] <knome> Guest63714, asking is okay
[09:43] <knome> Guest63714, what works in ubuntu should really work in xubuntu, so there's hope
[09:45] <Guest63714> thanks i'll be back i have to restart i'll give you an update on the situation
[09:51] <jay_> back
[09:51] <jay_> didn't seem to work
[13:42] <bluedoor> Hello, I'm a happy user of Xubuntu 10.04(LTS). Some background: I have recently decided to try out i3 tiling windows manager. I'm able to chose i3 session from login screen, and after i3 starts, I no longer see the xfce panels. Here's the problem: I cannot connect to wireless network from console.
[13:43] <Sysi> log into xfce, alt+f2 'i3 --replace' and save session on logout
[13:43] <bluedoor> every post I've seen recommends a sequence of commands: iwlist, iwconfig, dhclient and I run them, however dhclient displays only "NO DHCPOFFERS received" at the end
[13:44] <bluedoor> @sysi, thank you, this might work, I'll try that.
[13:47] <bluedoor> one more thing - when I run "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid 'linksys' " (my router has default configuration, no password) and then execute iwconfig, the essid near the wlan0 is some complicated text.
[13:47] <bluedoor> ...and when I connect through xfce panel, it's the network name (linksys). Is it possible that there's the problem?
[13:48] <Sysi> wireless from CLi is just something i won't touch
[13:50] <psycho_oreos> wireless managers like network manager and wicd usually inhibits any manual operation
[13:50] <psycho_oreos> dmesg usually proves as such, one will see device is not ready, etc
[13:51] <Sysi> cnetworkmanager does exist though
[13:58] <bluedoor> I've just downloaded cnetworkmanager, that seems to solve my problems, thank you!
[14:57] <crond> Hi, my 'Other' menu in the Applications menu is just randomly going missing.  If I restart X, it's back for a couple of minutes, then... poof, gone again
[14:57] <crond> can anyone help me with this bit of oddness? :)
[15:05] <crond> this is so bloody odd.
[15:31] <crond> wtf
[15:31] <crond> ITS GONE AGAIN
[15:34] <crond>  Does anyone know why an entire menu category in xfce would just go missing, then come back after a restart, then go missing again?
[15:37] <TheSheep> crond: sounds like whatever generates it on startup does it differently than on update
[15:38] <crond> its driving me bonkers
[15:38] <crond> Oh, now its back, for now, with no restart.
[18:24] <jeward> My Mac Pro is having trouble booting from either the 10.10 or 11 alpha CDs.
[18:24] <jeward> I get to: 1. 2. Select CD-ROM Boot Type :
[18:25] <jeward> And I can't get it to go beyond that prompt.
[18:40] <Sysi> jeward: might be more of mactel business
[18:45] <jeward> Sysi: What does that mean?
[18:46] <Sysi> irc.oftc.net #mactel
[21:03] <mark76> Why's Xubuntu going grey with Natty?
[21:09] <Sysi> new theme? :P
[21:09] <mark76> But... Grey?
[21:09] <mark76> I mean... Grey!?
[21:09] <TheSheep> shh, could have been yellow
[21:09] <mark76> :D
[21:09] <zillar> i like the black and blue
[21:09] <mark76> Black and blue's good
[21:10] <TheSheep> nobody tells you to change your settings
[21:10] <Sysi> grey is way better than brown
[21:10] <mark76> Are they trying not to look like LXDE?
[21:10] <mark76> I mean Lubuntu
[21:10] <Sysi> trying to look less smurf i guess
[21:10] <TheSheep> I don't think it has anything to do with branding
[21:10] <Sysi> just new default theme, why not
[21:10] <charlie-tca> I don't think Xubuntu ever tried to look like Lubuntu, did they?
[21:11] <Sysi> blue one will be available anyway
[21:11] <mark76> Cool
