[02:50] is this the proper place to ask about 11.04? [02:54] josh1: natty channel #ubuntu+1 [02:55] even for xubuntu? [02:56] As far as I know [02:57] thanks [10:31] How can you know the current network device to set in Network Monitor properties? [10:45] eth0 for fired or wlan0 for wireless propably [10:45] s/fired/wired [12:30] Sysi, what about mobile internet e.g. 3G? [12:55] Hi I am new to xubuntu but I have a problem with my laptop touchpad. [12:56] Daz_1234: which is ? [12:56] The laptop is a Fujitsu S6120. The touchpad itself works, but the problem is scrolling [12:56] There is a rocker switch which rocks up to scroll up and down to scroll down [12:57] the down one acts like a middle mouse button and the up direction does othing [12:57] nothing, even [12:58] 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] Thanks for listening [13:05] Daz_1234: try checking up on synclient settings [13:05] I'm afraid I really am *very* new to linux - this is my first foray in fact. What does that mean? [13:06] 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] Daz_1234: synclient is a daemon that can control certain options of your touchpad [13:06] How do I see the synclient settings? [13:07] for instance on my laptop i use a command in my autostart to set my options [13:08] Daz_1234: here is the man page for synclient http://linux.die.net/man/1/synclient [13:09] Ok. So how do I check if I have that on my installation? [13:10] you should but if you want to check in a terminal do a "type synclient" [13:10] and if its there it should report /usr/bin/synclient [13:11] Yes it does:@ [13:11] synclient is hashed (/usr/bin/synclient) [13:12] 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] I tried synclient -l and got "Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?" [13:12] baby is awake i have to run sorry bbl [13:12] I've googled around a lot and got nothing on my model. [13:12] Ok thanks. [13:45] ==> lostson - I've raised a bug report on launchpad now: Bug #734323 [13:45] Launchpad bug 734323 in Ubuntu "Scroll not working on Fujitsu S6120 using builtin scroll buttons under the touchpad [xubuntu 10.10]" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/734323 [13:45] I've just raised that one because I've found no other information. [13:47] 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] Your icon theme changed [14:02] <_suiauthon_> i dont remember doing that, must be that last update lol [15:25] hp 2710p ubuntu 10.10 touch screen not working help needed [16:04] 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] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats might help [16:05] install xubuntu-restriced-extras and any other package needed specifically for mp3 [16:05] That looks like it. Thank you :) [16:10] Hello [16:11] !hi | Noblesse [16:11] Noblesse: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! [16:11] I have just a quick question. :) [16:11] Shoot. [16:11] Do I pronounce Xubuntu as "Zubuntu" or as "X Ubuntu"? [16:12] Zoobuntu [16:12] I go with the first one, personally. [16:12] Alright. Zubuntu it is. Thanks. [16:14] Xubuntu (pronounced /zuːˈbuːntuː/ "zoo-BOON-too") From the fount of all knowledge...Wikipedia "_ [16:35] 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] press ctrl alt F1 and log in to console [16:37] Alright. What can I do from there? [16:37] you could first try to spot something from output of "cat .xsession-errors" or "cat .xsession-errors.old" [16:39] 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] 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] um... couldnt display a gtk warning, system-config-printer-applet had a problem, and then failure" module initialization failed [16:41] sounds like pretty much problems.. [16:41] you could try reset all settings, rm -rf .config/ [16:42] 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] alright [16:42] and rm -rf .cache/sessions/ [16:42] Done. [16:42] I don't know how to get out of the console session. [16:43] ctrl alt F7 [16:45] 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] ALSA mixer* [16:45] try Alt+F8 [16:45] it's waiting for me to press enter. But those are the same messages as when it broke. [16:46] or a restart, since it failed to start Xserver [16:46] 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] no need to restart if you logged in [16:47] Alright [16:47] Thanks Sysi and charlie-tca [16:56] Ha. Same thing just happened. The window manager theme that is broken is the second-to-last one, right above xfce. [16:57] And clearing the settings fixed it again. [16:58] It's called "wildbush" [16:58] jook: Wildbush? works for me, what Appearence Style are you using? [16:59] I was on NOX. [16:59] jook: Works for me Wildbush & NOX :) [17:00] drc: Huh. Strange. Well, at least if I know what's causing problems, I can just stay away from it. [17:00] yup [17:03] What does linux call the windows key? Super? meta? Something like that... [17:03] super [17:03] devil key [17:04] lol drc [17:04] thanks charlie-tca [17:04] wildbush was fixed in xfce 4.8 [17:04] charlie-tca: How do I check? I jsut downloaded and installed yesterday, but I got updates too. [17:07] Oh, I see. I have 4.6.2 [17:07] sudo apt-get update? [17:07] no, 4.8 is part of Natty [17:07] Oh [17:08] It will be released as final release about April 29 [17:09] 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] I would like to change the colors. Is that possible? Everything is blue, but I want green. [17:10] theme colors? [17:10] Yeah [17:10] <_suiauthon_> how can I kill a defunct process? [17:10] Select a different theme to change the colors [17:11] _suiauthon_: task monitor in Applications -> system [17:11] lol yeah charlie-tca, but almost all of them are blue. ;) There's no customization options like that? [17:11] no [17:11] Alright [17:12] blue / blue-gray is the Xfce color choice, however, almost any gtk theme should work [17:12] !themes [17:12] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [17:12] 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] zombie torrents! [17:13] you have to download a shotgun. [17:14] heh, think you must first kill the download, to kill transmission [17:14] 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] I guess I've got things going how I like. Thanks for the help folks. [17:22] 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] mox --> box [17:26] Oh, nevermind. Got it. :) [20:12] 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] WRStone: xubuntu will keep using xfce [20:13] Awesome. That's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure. Thank you. [22:55] hi all [22:56] Why in tty I have no problems with locale, but in GUI (xfce4-terminal)? [23:34] * Opie waves
