| aaronth | so is unity coming to xubuntu ? | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| ochosi | aaronth: no | 00:05 |
| aaronth | oh thats good | 00:07 |
| aaronth | it would weight it more | 00:07 |
| aaronth | any news on ubuntu software center? | 00:10 |
| ochosi | aaronth: what exactly do you mean? | 00:12 |
| aaronth | the usc? or unity? | 00:20 |
| ochosi | aaronth: neither of those have anything to do with xubuntu directly, i'd recommend asking about them in #ubuntu | 00:23 |
| aaronth | well the unity does if i is installed in xubuntu | 00:24 |
| aaronth | *it is | 00:24 |

| raonid | Hi all! Is there an easy way to run xubuntu from a USB drive? | 04:41 |
| AnneNonimus | Why is my USB headset only detected half the time I boot? | 06:43 |
| well_laid_lawn | AnneNonimus: try using a different usb port to see if it keeps happening | 07:09 |
| AnneNonimus | Well the thing is I can see the device using lsusb, but it doesn't register as an audio output source. | 07:10 |
| well_laid_lawn | have you done anything to speed up the boot process? | 07:12 |
| well_laid_lawn | or is the device being registered as being something else? | 07:13 |
| AnneNonimus | I haven't done anything to the boot process. | 07:29 |
| AnneNonimus | How do I check if the device is being detected as something else? | 07:29 |
| well_laid_lawn | does it show in the X log at /var/log/Xorg.0.log as something else? - it'll be listed near the end | 07:39 |
| === TheSheep_ is now known as TheSheep | ||
| well_laid_lawn | X uses evdev to associate stuff so it might show in there | 07:42 |
| ubd | hi can i convert ubuntu server 10.04 to xubuntu? | 07:43 |
| Unit193 | You should be able to do "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" | 07:45 |
| Unit193 | Might be easier and cleaner to reinstall | 07:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | the server install and xfce can make a lighter operating system | 07:47 |
| Unit193 | Then it wouldn't be xubuntu-desktop you need to install | 07:48 |
| AnneNonimus | The headset does show up in the log. | 07:50 |
| Unit193 | ubd: What are you looking to do? (sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop --no-install-recommends is yet another way of doing it...) | 07:51 |
| AnneNonimus | Well, after looking at the logs, it seems that the headset is being added as a keyboard. | 07:52 |
| well_laid_lawn | AnneNonimus: there's not an entry in the log after that dregistering it? | 07:53 |
| AnneNonimus | Nope | 07:53 |
| well_laid_lawn | AnneNonimus: you might need to check if the sound hardware needs something added in /etc/modules or similar | 07:54 |
| well_laid_lawn | what is the soundcard? | 07:54 |
| AnneNonimus | How do I check? | 07:55 |
| well_laid_lawn | in a terminal lspci | grep -i audio | 07:55 |
| AnneNonimus | Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) | 07:56 |
| well_laid_lawn | iirc that'll use the intelhd driver | 07:56 |
| well_laid_lawn | !intelhda | 07:56 |
| ubottu | For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 07:56 |
| well_laid_lawn | that link might have a clue | 07:57 |
| AnneNonimus | Thanks | 07:57 |
| well_laid_lawn | np | 07:57 |
| ubd | Unit193 thanks, could you tell me whats the difference of --no-install-recommends | 08:01 |
| Unit193 | ubd: That won't install the "recommended" software, only what it needs to fun xfce well | 08:02 |
| Unit193 | ^fun^run | 08:02 |
| ubd | allright | 08:04 |
| ubd | thanks! | 08:04 |

| asadeddin | hey all | 15:20 |
| asadeddin | quick question. I am on ubuntu and i m trying to SSH into my fedora machine, the problem is that when i try it on both they say connection refused | 15:21 |
| asadeddin | they're on the same router | 15:21 |
| asadeddin | any ideas? | 15:21 |
| asadeddin | i know this isnt a xubuntu thing, but yeah... :/ | 15:21 |
| Thermi | is the openssh server installed on the fedora machine? | 15:22 |
| Thermi | you need the openssh server on a machine to be able to ssh into it | 15:23 |
| asadeddin | do u know the command? i m new to fedora. i dont know how to use YUM | 15:23 |
| Thermi | me neither | 15:23 |
| Thermi | i use ubuntu and debian :D | 15:23 |
| Thermi | try googling it :) | 15:23 |
| asadeddin | ok i realized on my machine there isnt openssh server | 15:24 |
| Sysi | openssh should be installed by default but you need to get it running | 15:50 |
| Lord_Rahl | xubuntu sudo apt-get install ssh - fedora I think it yum install openssh or yum search ssh | 15:51 |
| knome | openssh-server for the server | 15:51 |
| Lord_Rahl | cool | 15:51 |
| knome | Sysi, i don't think the server is installed by default | 15:53 |
| asadeddin | got it working btw | 15:56 |
| asadeddin | i had to install it | 15:56 |
| asadeddin | the server isnt installed by default | 15:56 |
| asadeddin | and then u have to swtich to su | 15:56 |
| asadeddin | and start the service | 15:56 |
| asadeddin | u cant start it on normal user permissions | 15:56 |
| asadeddin | but now i m trying to vnc | 15:56 |
| asadeddin | any ideas? | 15:56 |
| Sysi | knome: in fedora it is, in xubuntu not | 15:58 |
| Sysi | (is for my F14 xfce spin) | 15:58 |
| asadeddin | Sysi, i just had to install openssh server on fedora 14 | 15:58 |
| asadeddin | i dont know on LXDE it wasnt | 15:58 |
| asadeddin | openssh is installed but not server as i saw | 15:59 |
| knome | Sysi, well this ain't a fedora support channel ;) | 16:01 |

| paul__ | hello, what's the default screenshot program in xubuntu please (newish user here and can't figure out how to get that info from the applications panel) | 19:31 |
| Sysi | xfce4-screenshooter(-plugin) | 19:32 |
| mark76 | Xfce4-screenshooter | 19:32 |
| mark76 | Snap | 19:32 |
| paul__ | thanks, so thats the command I'd need for a new panel launcher thingy? | 19:32 |
| mark76 | Actually... Snap'd be a great name for a screenshooter app | 19:32 |
| mark76 | You'll need to download it from the repos | 19:33 |
| knome | paul__, xfce4-screenshooter, yes | 19:33 |
| paul__ | trying to drag from applications menu to panel doesn't work as I'd hoped | 19:33 |
| charlie-tca | Try right-clicking yher | 19:33 |
| paul__ | I think i did | 19:33 |
| Sysi | right click → add new items should have screenshooter | 19:33 |
| mark76 | Which Xfce do you have? | 19:33 |
| charlie-tca | the panel and add it through the add to panel button | 19:33 |
| paul__ | mark76, er not sure! charlie-tca yes I understand that bit thanks | 19:34 |
| paul__ | thought i might just drag it from applications menu to panel | 19:35 |
| paul__ | but can't lol | 19:35 |
| mark76 | Which version of Xubuntu do you have? | 19:35 |
| charlie-tca | The app and the panel app are not quite the same thing. There are two items even though they do work the same | 19:35 |
| paul__ | oh latest xubuntu and xfce 4 | 19:36 |
| mark76 | 10.10 or 11.04 Beta? | 19:36 |
| paul__ | 10.10 :D | 19:37 |
| mark76 | 10.10 has Xfce-4.6. Which doesn't support drag to panel | 19:37 |
| mark76 | Drag to panel support has only been implemented in 4.8 | 19:38 |
| Sysi | aka. coming in natty | 19:38 |
| mark76 | Yeah | 19:38 |
| paul__ | well that's good - it's what I'd expect to be able to do | 19:39 |
| mark76 | There's a screenshooter plugin for the panel | 19:39 |
| paul__ | ok i now have screenshot launcher with nice icon | 19:39 |
| mark76 | Cool :) | 19:39 |
| paul__ | i wanted it to use with Zim - the screenshot plugin for that program doesnt work too well | 19:40 |
| paul__ | so, where is the application menu 'editor'? I sort of see where the menu list is stored (pretend to choose cutome menu o see location of default) but I thought looking.... | 19:42 |
| paul__ | at that file might show me what commands are executed by each menu item and thereby find command for screenshot! | 19:43 |
| mark76 | There isn't one | 19:43 |
| charlie-tca | No menu editor until natty releases | 19:43 |
| paul__ | lol, even a text file with the menu commands in? | 19:43 |
| charlie-tca | You can find most of the menu information in the desktop files, though. It is in /usr/share/applications | 19:43 |
| charlie-tca | right click them and select edit with... | 19:44 |
| charlie-tca | or maybe open with... | 19:44 |
| mark76 | You can't edit stuff in /usr/ unless you're root | 19:44 |
| charlie-tca | but you can rread every file without being root | 19:45 |
| mark76 | Well you can. You just can't save it | 19:45 |
| mark76 | True | 19:45 |
| charlie-tca | If you want to know the information for a launcher you create, you do not need to edit the file, you only need to read it | 19:45 |
| paul__ | got it thanks, now i see xfce4-screenshooter ;) | 19:46 |
| paul__ | I've used regular ubuntu and debian a little and netbook a little less but xubuntu is mighty fine on my old thinkpad - makes my xp desktop feel like treacle | 19:47 |
| charlie-tca | :-) | 19:48 |
| mark76 | What does XP stand for anyway? eXcessively Plastic? | 19:50 |
| paul__ | eXPunged now | 19:50 |
| Sysi | your face when you try to use it | 19:50 |
| ljsoftnet | how do i fix skype webcam?, its to dark | 19:52 |
| paul__ | thank you for the help - I'm off to play with my wiki :P | 19:52 |
| differentSmoke | hello: I need to mount my windows partition but it does not appear listed in the terminal when I run the "mount" command. I'm in Xubuntu 10.04. What can i do? | 20:14 |
| charlie-tca | Applications -> System -> Gigolo | 20:15 |
| charlie-tca | MIght need samba too, I don't know | 20:15 |
| charlie-tca | !samba | 20:15 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 20:15 |
| differentSmoke | charlie-tca: thanks man | 20:21 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 20:21 |
| Faravid | Hi, I already tried ubuntu forums, with no answers | 20:25 |
| charlie-tca | Please ask your question all in one line. All of us are volunteers and will attempt to answer if we know. | 20:26 |
| Faravid | Anyone had problems with screen not waking up after monitor sleep (full sleep disabled) | 20:26 |
| Faravid | HDD ligh flashes so I think it's screen only problem | 20:26 |
| charlie-tca | It is probably video card related | 20:27 |
| knome | Faravid, had some ~similar problems, disable monitor sleep. | 20:27 |
| Faravid | I've thought about it, this old laptop has Savage IX/MX video card, which drivers I've read is not developed anymore | 20:27 |
| Faravid | Also hardware acceleration fails to work though it should work | 20:28 |
| Faravid | disabling monitor sleep is a little bit bad solution since this is a laptop and I wish I could use it with battery power, disabling sleep functions isn't the number one solution | 20:29 |
| Faravid | Can I look for solution from logs? which log file contains information about monitor sleep and what I should look for? | 20:30 |
| Faravid | sigh, off to test with xorg.conf | 20:37 |
| Faravid | Got it to work somewhat, a while ago I created xorg.conf but afterwards I removed it, but now i realized from xorg log that xorg was still searching for it and said and error that config file is not present. Now I ran Xorg -configure and moved the new xorg.conf file to right folder | 20:47 |
| Faravid | It works but Xfce desktop shuts down and I'm forced to log in with all the windows i previously had open were gone | 20:48 |
| charlie-tca | save session, when you log out or shutdown | 20:48 |
| Faravid | I put monitor to sleep, I did not log out or shut down | 20:49 |
| Faravid | When i wake monitor I face Xfce login screen, after logging in all the windows are gone, that shouldn't be normal | 20:50 |
| ichat | question... :) when i follow - this howto http://geekyprojects.com/ubuntu/build-your-own-custom-ubuntu-livecd/ - but not removing ubiquity - will that render me an instaleble custom xubuntu install? | 20:50 |
| charlie-tca | ubiquity is used by both ubuntu and xubuntu as the installer | 20:51 |
| charlie-tca | Faravid: If you have not saved the session already, no matter how you get to the login screen, it starts with what is saved as the session. | 20:52 |
| charlie-tca | That is the correct behavior for Xfce. | 20:52 |
| Faravid | Is it possible to make it default to save the session before sleep or suspend? | 20:53 |
| ichat | that means that if i leave that package, any other changes i make in this ubuntu-customisation-kit will be also installed - | 20:54 |
| Faravid | It's pretty unpractical to open everything again if you just leave the computer alone for couple of minutes | 20:54 |
| charlie-tca | Faravid: Applications -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Sessions and Startup, session tab | 20:55 |
| charlie-tca | One way is to logout, saving the session, then log back in. Then it should bring all the windows back each time | 20:55 |
| Faravid | One moment, testing the auto save | 20:56 |
| Faravid | Ok well, part of the problem solved, I had "lock screen" when laptop lid is closed, I disabled it and monitor woke up with everything intact | 21:05 |
| Faravid | btw, screen saver config shouldn't right away initialize hard ware acceleration, in my case it causes Xfce to restart and I had to disable screen saver by terminal command | 21:22 |
| Faravid | oh btw, got to test the screen saver after I changed xorg config | 21:23 |
| Faravid | Instant crash | 21:24 |
| mark76 | Instant Replay! | 21:25 |
| * mark76 does Dan Hartman impersonation | 21:25 | |
| mark76 | Sorry | 21:26 |
| mark76 | Carry on | 21:26 |
| Faravid | Could this have something to do with the crash? syslog: "Apr 6 23:23:33 Wanhus gdm-session-worker[4032]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_value_get_boolean: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOOLEAN (value)' failed" | 21:33 |
| Faravid | question, should i try to compile DRI myself to fix 3d acceleration? (with the instructions from this site: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building) | 21:53 |
| knome | Faravid, if you want to adventurous, but we can't really support that | 22:00 |
| === Thermi is now known as thermi | ||
| Faravid | so i should probably make an hdd image before trying that? ;) | 22:04 |
| knome | probably.. | 22:05 |
| Faravid | btw, does building dri make it difficult to install updates or distro upgrades? | 22:05 |
| knome | it might just break things | 22:05 |
| Faravid | ok so i won't even try | 22:05 |
| knome | :) | 22:06 |
| Faravid | i have one possible solution though, i will try to install video card from never version of this laptop, bought one from ebay just for testing if it is possible to install it to this laptop =P | 22:07 |
| knome | :) | 22:07 |
| knome | good luck! | 22:07 |
| knome | bbl -> | 22:07 |
