[02:50] <josh1> is this the proper place to ask about 11.04?
[02:54] <Unit193> josh1: natty channel #ubuntu+1
[02:55] <josh1> even for xubuntu?
[02:56] <Unit193> As far as I know
[02:57] <josh1> thanks
[10:31] <jarnos> How can you know the current network device to set in Network Monitor properties?
[10:45] <Sysi> eth0 for fired or wlan0 for wireless propably
[10:45] <Sysi> s/fired/wired
[12:30] <jarnos> Sysi, what about mobile internet e.g. 3G?
[12:55] <Daz_1234> Hi I am new to xubuntu but I have a problem with my laptop touchpad.
[12:56] <lostson> Daz_1234: which is ?
[12:56] <Daz_1234> The laptop is a Fujitsu S6120.  The touchpad itself works, but the problem is scrolling
[12:56] <Daz_1234> There is a rocker switch which rocks up to scroll up and down to scroll down
[12:57] <Daz_1234> the down one acts like a middle mouse button and the up direction does othing
[12:57] <Daz_1234> nothing, even
[12:58] <Daz_1234> In the mouse settings I see a "Virtual ore XTEST pointer" and "PS/2 Generic Mouse".  I have read about a touchpad tab but I do not have one
[12:59] <Daz_1234> Thanks for listening
[13:05] <lostson> Daz_1234: try checking up on synclient settings
[13:05] <Daz_1234> I'm afraid I really am *very* new to linux - this is my first foray in fact.  What does that mean?
[13:06] <lostson> the touchpad tab your reading about is in gnome unless there are new touchpad settings in xfce4.8 that i am not aware of
[13:06] <lostson> Daz_1234: synclient is a daemon that can control certain options of your touchpad
[13:06] <Daz_1234> How do I see the synclient settings?
[13:07] <lostson> for instance on my laptop i use a command in my autostart to set my options
[13:08] <lostson> Daz_1234: here is the man page for synclient http://linux.die.net/man/1/synclient
[13:09] <Daz_1234> Ok.  So how do I check if I have that on my installation?
[13:10] <lostson> you should but if you want to check in a terminal do a "type synclient"
[13:10] <lostson> and if its there it should report /usr/bin/synclient
[13:11] <Daz_1234> Yes it does:@
[13:11] <Daz_1234> synclient is hashed (/usr/bin/synclient)
[13:12] <lostson> then i guess the best bet would be to do some googling with your laptop model and see if anyone else has figured out how to get it working correctly
[13:12] <Daz_1234> I tried synclient -l  and got "Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?"
[13:12] <lostson> baby is awake i have to run sorry bbl
[13:12] <Daz_1234> I've googled around a lot and got nothing on my model.
[13:12] <Daz_1234> Ok thanks.
[13:45] <Daz_1234> ==> lostson - I've raised a bug report on launchpad now:  Bug #734323
[13:45] <Daz_1234> I've just raised that one because I've found no other information.
[13:47] <Daz_1234> Thanks again, bye.
[14:01] <_suiauthon_> why has the button at the end of my top panel gone from being the power icon to a person?
[14:02] <charlie-tca> Your icon theme changed
[14:02] <_suiauthon_> i dont remember doing that, must be that last update lol
[15:25] <macbangalore> hp 2710p ubuntu 10.10 touch screen not working help needed
[16:04] <jook> I unchecked the box to install mp3 support and stuff during install, because I was having trouble with my computer. How do I make that work now that xubuntu is up and going?
[16:05] <drc> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats might help
[16:05] <charlie-tca> install xubuntu-restriced-extras and any other package needed specifically for mp3
[16:05] <jook> That looks like it. Thank you :)
[16:10] <Noblesse> Hello
[16:11] <charlie-tca> !hi | Noblesse
[16:11] <Noblesse> I have just a quick question. :)
[16:11] <jook> Shoot.
[16:11] <Noblesse> Do I pronounce Xubuntu as "Zubuntu" or as "X Ubuntu"?
[16:12] <drc> Zoobuntu
[16:12] <jook> I go with the first one, personally.
[16:12] <Noblesse> Alright. Zubuntu it is. Thanks.
[16:14] <drc> Xubuntu (pronounced /zuːˈbuːntuː/ "zoo-BOON-too")   From the fount of all knowledge...Wikipedia "_
[16:35] <jook> Okay, so I was just scrolling through window themes, and then my computer went to a console display showing a couple lines, and then logged out. Now it does the same thing every time I try to log in, but it goes too quick for me to see clearly what it's saying...
[16:36] <Sysi> press ctrl alt F1 and log in to console
[16:37] <jook> Alright. What can I do from there?
[16:37] <Sysi> you could first try to spot something from output of "cat .xsession-errors" or "cat .xsession-errors.old"
[16:39] <jook> I did the first. A whole bunch of stuff scrolled by, mostly things about faled to contact configuration server over and over. That message scrolled anything different that was before it right off the screen.
[16:40] <jook> oh, at the end theres "the application 'nm-applet' lost it's connection to the display," and something about x-server shut down or killed
[16:40] <jook> um... couldnt display a gtk warning, system-config-printer-applet had a problem, and then failure" module initialization failed
[16:41] <Sysi> sounds like pretty much problems..
[16:41] <Sysi> you could try reset all settings, rm -rf .config/
[16:42] <jook> i dont know what most of it means. Some of those could also be the same thing on multiple lines, but i wasn't reading it right
[16:42] <jook> alright
[16:42] <Sysi> and rm -rf .cache/sessions/
[16:42] <jook> Done.
[16:42] <jook> I don't know how to get out of the console session.
[16:43] <Sysi> ctrl alt F7
[16:45] <jook> Ooh, when I did that, it went to the same screen that was showing when I couldn't log in. It says, "Speech-dispatcher disabled" and some stuff, "saved ALS mixer settings detected" "puleseaudio configured for per-user sessions" "saned desabled" and "checking battery state."
[16:45] <jook> ALSA mixer*
[16:45] <charlie-tca> try Alt+F8
[16:45] <jook> it's waiting for me to press enter. But those are the same messages as when it broke.
[16:46] <charlie-tca> or a restart, since it failed to start Xserver
[16:46] <jook> I rebooted before I came here. I can do it again. I was just able to login successfully, though. Seems like clearing the stuff Sysi said worked.
[16:47] <charlie-tca> no need to restart if you logged in
[16:47] <jook> Alright
[16:47] <jook> Thanks Sysi and charlie-tca
[16:56] <jook> Ha. Same thing just happened. The window manager theme that is broken is the second-to-last one, right above xfce.
[16:57] <jook> And clearing the settings fixed it again.
[16:58] <jook> It's called "wildbush"
[16:58] <drc> jook: Wildbush?  works for me, what Appearence Style are you using?
[16:59] <jook> I was on NOX.
[16:59] <drc> jook: Works for me Wildbush & NOX :)
[17:00] <jook> drc: Huh. Strange. Well, at least if I know what's causing problems, I can just stay away from it.
[17:00] <drc> yup
[17:03] <jook> What does linux call the windows key? Super? meta? Something like that...
[17:03] <charlie-tca> super
[17:03] <drc> devil key
[17:04] <jook> lol drc
[17:04] <jook> thanks charlie-tca
[17:04] <charlie-tca> wildbush was fixed in xfce 4.8
[17:04] <jook> charlie-tca: How do I check? I jsut downloaded and installed yesterday, but I got updates too.
[17:07] <jook> Oh, I see. I have 4.6.2
[17:07] <jook> sudo apt-get update?
[17:07] <charlie-tca> no, 4.8 is part of Natty
[17:07] <jook> Oh
[17:08] <charlie-tca> It will be released as final release about April 29
[17:09] <jook> Alright. I'll just stay away from that theme then. Some of the others are decent. I can live with not knowing what wildbush looks like.
[17:10] <jook> I would like to change the colors. Is that possible? Everything is blue, but I want green.
[17:10] <charlie-tca> theme colors?
[17:10] <jook> Yeah
[17:10] <_suiauthon_> how can I kill a defunct process?
[17:10] <charlie-tca> Select a different theme to change the colors
[17:11] <charlie-tca> _suiauthon_: task monitor in Applications -> system
[17:11] <jook> lol yeah charlie-tca, but almost all of them are blue. ;) There's no customization options like that?
[17:11] <charlie-tca> no
[17:11] <jook> Alright
[17:12] <charlie-tca> blue / blue-gray is the Xfce color choice, however, almost any gtk theme should work
[17:12] <charlie-tca> !themes
[17:12] <jook> Yeah, I was noticing that trend. Thanks for the links, I'll take a look.
[17:13] <_suiauthon_> no diece, transmission keeps comming back from the dead and stealing my cpu
[17:13] <jook> zombie torrents!
[17:13] <jook> you have to download a shotgun.
[17:14] <charlie-tca> heh, think you must first kill the download, to kill transmission
[17:14] <charlie-tca> Is there a wget task running too?
[17:14] <_suiauthon_> no wget no
[17:15] <_suiauthon_> i dunno what finally did it, but its died dead. ty
[17:18] <jook> I guess I've got things going how I like. Thanks for the help folks.
[17:22] <jook> Ooh, here's one... So my xubuntu mox is a laptop, but I really hate tap-to-click on the trackpad. I don't see a way to turn it off in the mouse settings, though.
[17:22] <jook> mox --> box
[17:26] <jook> Oh, nevermind. Got it. :)
[20:12] <WRStone> Question:  Xubuntu Natty will NOT use Unity Desktop, correct?  I've been advising users to switch to Ubuntu for about a year, but Unity is so unusable that I'll have to stop.  I'd like to suggest Xubuntu instead, but I can't without knowing that I won't be sending them into the weeds.
[20:13] <TheSheep> WRStone: xubuntu will keep using xfce
[20:13] <WRStone> Awesome.  That's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure.  Thank you.
[22:55] <nrik> hi all
[22:56] <nrik> Why in tty I have no problems with locale, but in GUI (xfce4-terminal)?
