[02:10] <zruty> My BT headset connects but never shows up in Sound Prefs, so how to route sound to it?
[02:18] <spersaud> nice distro :)
[02:18] <spersaud> good for my toshiba tecra ..
[03:06] <Guest55684> No networks show up under wireless networks can anyone help?
[03:08] <zruty> Is the wireless switched on?
[03:08] <zruty> Sometimes there is a switch somewhere
[03:09] <Guest55684> Yea the light is on but if I do iwconfig it doesn't have a wlan0
[03:10] <Guest55684> Any ideas?
[03:11] <zruty> moment...
[03:11] <Guest55684> Okay.
[03:11] <zruty> Is it a USB or a PCI thing?
[03:12] <Guest55684> PCI it is a hp ze5000 and it is built it
[03:12] <zruty> you can do sudo lspci in a terminal window
[03:12] <zruty> And see if it is in there
[03:13] <Guest55684> there is a network controller and a ethernet controller
[03:13] <Guest55684> Intersil Corportation Prism 2.5 Wavelan Chipset
[03:14] <Guest55684> How do I know which one it is?
[03:19] <zruty> Good question...
[03:19] <zruty> Ethernet is wired
[03:19] <zruty> So it must be the other one
[03:19] <Guest55684> right
[03:20] <zruty> What with ifconfig?
[03:21] <Guest55684> Doesn't show any wlan0
[03:21] <charlie-tca> iwconfig?
[03:21] <Guest55684> I tried installing the driver but I don't know if I have the right one and it is hard to find
[03:21] <Guest55684> It doesn't show up there either
[03:21] <zruty> I am starting my xubuntu lapdog...
[03:21] <zruty> Yes, I have never heard of intersil
[03:22] <Guest55684> I guess I just need to try to find the right driver
[03:22] <Guest55684> It is an HP ZE5000 and there is no drivers on the HP website and I can't really find out what wireless card it has...
[03:23] <Guest55684> 11b minipci AMB is what is says on the sticker on the card
[03:24] <zruty> ok...
[03:24] <zruty> sudo lsmod | more
[03:25] <zruty> Do you see any module that looks like it may be the wireless?
[03:25] <Guest55684> No not really I am searching for the driver now though...
[03:26] <Guest55684> The only driver files I can find are freaking .exe files
[03:27] <zruty> ndiswrapper...?
[03:28] <zruty> When I google  Intersil Corportation Prism 2.5 Wavelan and Ubuntu I see a few posts for ubuntu forum come up
[03:28] <zruty> ndiswrapper is a .. tool... that you can use the Windows driver under linux
[03:28] <zruty> Works 99% of the time, used it myself a long time ago..
[03:29] <Guest55684> I know but the problem is I can't just find the drivers, there is only .exe files
[03:31] <Guest55684> I might of found it hold on...
[03:33] <zruty> Yes, I too have an old network controller for which no specific linux driver exists. No choice but to use ndiswrapper.
[03:34] <zruty> OR, since yours is also old, buy a newer network controller.
[03:34] <zruty> N is the standard now, people are ridding themselves of (A/B/)G cards.
[05:48] <david> Anyone on that can help me with a wireless problem?
[05:49] <Guest17690> Has anyone delt with installing drivers for Prism 2.5 wavelan wireless card? I have tried everything and can't get it to work.
[08:51] <Bofhzilla> don't suppose anyone's active who's good with xserver related stuff?
[08:51] <Unit193> Might as well ask...
[08:51] <Bofhzilla> 's a silly problem really
[08:52] <Bofhzilla> can't get the option for 1280x1024
[08:52] <Unit193> Did you configure X?
[08:52] <Bofhzilla> all advice i can turn up via google is " edit xorg.conf" ( doesn't exist) or dpkg-reconfigure ( does nothing)
[08:52] <Unit193> !x
[08:53]  * Bofhzilla clicks
[08:54] <V01> !gnome
[08:54] <Sysi> what graphics card?
[08:55] <V01> !kde
[08:55] <Bofhzilla> radeon mobility 9250
[08:55] <Bofhzilla> *9000
[08:55] <Bofhzilla> muddled up with old desktop card for a sec, sorry
[08:58] <Sysi> does output of 'xrandr' show you that option?
[09:01] <Bofhzilla> bofh@Thundera:~$ xrandr
[09:01] <Bofhzilla> Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096
[09:01] <Bofhzilla> VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
[09:01] <Bofhzilla> DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
[09:01] <Bofhzilla> LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
[09:01] <Bofhzilla> below that it lists from 640x480 to 1024x768
[09:02] <Bofhzilla> but i was kinda figuring if i can run 1280x1024 in xp, it should be capable
[09:03] <Sysi> CRT?
[09:04] <Bofhzilla> laptop
[09:04] <Bofhzilla> neg @ crt
[09:08] <Sysi> then you'll just need the xorg.conf
[09:56] <Guest67789> Anyone in here?
[13:11] <ljsoftnet> is there a harddisk load monitor applet for xubuntu?
[13:13] <knome> iotop?
[13:14] <knome> oh, applet
[13:14] <knome> ljsoftnet, you can use xfapplet to use a gnome panel applet if there is one for gnome :)
[13:15] <ljsoftnet> is used it, but it goes back to its default setting after reboot
[13:15] <ljsoftnet> knome is used it, but it goes back to its default setting after reboot
[13:16] <knome> ljsoftnet, when logging out, do you select 'save session' ?
[13:17] <ljsoftnet> knome didn't know that
[13:17] <knome> try that, and see if the applet is working after reboot/-login :)
[13:18] <ljsoftnet> knome ok, rebooting
[13:24] <ljsoftnet> knome what does save sessions do?
[13:24] <knome> ljsoftnet, umm, save the session :))
[13:25] <ljsoftnet> knome it saves the session of xfce's panels?
[13:25] <knome> ljsoftnet, should save that too, and any applications running
[13:26] <ljsoftnet> knome ok thanks
[13:26] <knome> no problem. did it work?
[13:27] <ljsoftnet> knome yes it worked
[13:27] <knome> okay, great
[13:28] <ljsoftnet> knome what about system loader, what does "swap" monitor, is it the harddisk?
[13:29] <knome> ljsoftnet, yes and no - swap is an area in the hard disk that is used like ram when/if you run out of ram
[13:30] <ljsoftnet> knome ah ok
[13:30] <knome> ljsoftnet, say, if you have 1GB of ram, the system starts using the swap partition (a bit before) when 1GB ram is used
[13:30] <ljsoftnet> knome ah thanks man
[20:14] <Guest62952> guys I need help. I was in the window manager settings playing around with window borders, and then I scrolled all the way to the bottom and a black screen flashed with some kind of error text I couldn't see and then I went back to the login screen. It does it every time I log in unless I go to the recovery console
[20:15] <mister_m> does anyone know what could be going on? or perhaps where I could view the error message?
[20:15] <Sysi> log in to console and "rm -rf ~/.config/xfce4" it will destroy your settings
[20:16] <Sysi> it's propably the one known bug with one wm theme
[20:16] <mister_m> Sysi: ah :(
[20:17] <mister_m> Sysi: I'll try that and get back to you
[20:25] <mister_m> Sysi: that worked.
[20:25] <mister_m> Sysi: thank you
[20:26] <Sysi> np (now you can scroll through all settings again!)
[20:28] <mister_m> Sysi: I'll make back ups of my settings
[20:28] <mister_m> before I start doing that
[20:28] <mister_m> this is a fresh install though
[20:36] <mister_m> I had I think two task bars before, gotta figure out what happened with that
[22:43] <Shyster> sup everyone
[22:45] <Shyster> i install xubuntu on my laptop earlier it already had ubuntu/kubuntu on it, i installed it threw "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" everything went fine
[22:46] <Shyster> it installed with kde as default gui... i liked it so i downloaded the xubuntu cd an installed it on my desktop an it installed with gnome as default
[22:47] <Shyster> it didn't ask me witch one i wanted so y the differance?
[22:47] <charlie-tca> xubuntu does not use kde
[22:47] <charlie-tca> it uses Xfce with some of gnome
[22:47] <knome> neither does it use gnome
[22:48] <Shyster> hmm
[22:48] <Shyster> when i installed it on my laptop it the gui looked like a kde themed gui, with the menu in the bottom left an so on
[22:49] <Shyster> now on my desktop it looks like a gnome gui with the applications/places menu at the top
[22:49] <Shyster> so why would it install differant
[22:50] <charlie-tca> sounds like you ran a kde session before
[22:50] <charlie-tca> instead of the xubuntu session
[22:50] <Shyster> and sorry about my confusion of the gui's i am still a beginner to linux
[22:50] <Shyster> no it was xubuntu
[22:51] <Shyster> when it loaded it had a tips menu pop up talking about xubuntu and had the mouse background an so on
[22:52] <Shyster> would it make a differance in the versions? 10.04long term or 10.10?
[22:52] <Shyster> on the gui that it uses i mean?
[22:53] <charlie-tca> xubuntu has never put the menu in the bottom left
[22:53] <Shyster> then what am i seeing?
[22:54] <knome> Shyster, take a screenshot and upload it to imagebin and we'll see
[22:54] <Shyster> ok
[22:55] <Shyster> i think its because of my laptop has 10.10 on it
[22:55] <Shyster> an my desktop i put 10.04
[22:55] <Shyster> but i will upload a screen shot now
[23:01] <Shyster> http://imagebin.org/145783
[23:01] <Shyster> theres the screen shot
[23:01] <Shyster> from my laptop
[23:03] <Shyster> and this is the one of my desktop http://imagebin.org/145784
[23:03] <knome> mmhmm, that's definitely xubuntu, but it might be the xfce session (instead of xubuntu session)
[23:04] <Shyster> yea, an i really like it.
[23:04] <knome> which one?
[23:05] <Shyster> laptop gui
[23:05] <knome> right, well you can always change the panels to be as in the laptop screenshot
[23:07] <Shyster> like i said i just switched to linux from windows. i had some classes over linux in college but never really used to much. so i been searching for a flavour i like to stick with
[23:07] <knome> mm-hmm
[23:09] <Shyster> another question real quick i have a 20" LCD display on my desktop an xunbuntu detects it as a crt monitor and cuts off some of the right side of the screen
[23:09] <Shyster> i have tryed changing the resolution but doesn't help
[23:10] <knome> what graphics card?
[23:10] <Shyster> umm its a nvidia
[23:10] <Shyster> let me check what kind
[23:10] <knome> have you tried nvidia-settings?
[23:10] <knome> that's a pretty powerful tool
[23:11] <Shyster> yea i have
[23:12] <Shyster> thats what detects my monitor as a ctr o.O
[23:12] <knome> well, you really should be able to sort it with that
[23:12] <knome> doesn't really matter :)
[23:12] <knome> you only want to change the monitor layout
[23:13] <Shyster> but it doesn't give me any wide screen resolutions as a crt :(
[23:13] <knome> hmm
[23:18] <Shyster> any ideas?
[23:56] <jayant> Hello Everyone, i am using ubuntu 10.10 that works real slow on my system. I want to switch over to xubuntu. Will installing the xubuntu-desktop package make my system work fine ?
[23:57] <knome> jayant, that might bring some help. how much ram do you have?
[23:58] <jayant> knome: 256MB RAM
[23:58] <knome> okay. the pc won't be lightning fast with xubuntu either, then, i'm afraid.
[23:58] <knome> however, good application choices can ease the situation
[23:58] <jayant> knome: then what else can i try to make it work fast ?
[23:59] <knome> there is lubuntu, which is even lighter than xubuntu
[23:59] <knome> though i really suggest a reinstall anyway
