[00:01] hey guys, any clue on how to disable a mousepad while typing in xub?

[00:29] fdisk -l doesn't show it as visible although dmesg shoes the usb device as plugged in at an address [00:30] shows* [00:36] whats the filesystem on the disk? [00:37] if its ntsc you might need to install some drivers [00:39] philippe: I just checked my Nikon D70 and under USB there were two choices, Mass Storage and PPP...cone worked and the other didn't (but the reverse was true under windows, as I recall). You might check check your camera's menu. [00:40] Ok Terry I check that now [00:40] drc I check that too [00:40] One sec === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [00:49] Its fat32 terry [00:49] Should that work on xubuntu? [00:50] philippe: yes [00:52] drc how do I check under usb > [00:52] > [00:52] ? [00:53] philippe: Check your menu system, there's probably a USB setting on it [00:53] ok [00:56] couldnt find it [00:56] Then I have no idea what to do next...sorry. [00:57] hang on a sec [00:57] I just installed gphoto2 and it found it [01:00] good [01:01] It;s transferring now. I hope it works [01:08] philippe, your laptop probably has card reading slots, you can avoid most of this problems plugging in your camera sd card [01:10] I am on an ibm thinkpad [01:10] Really old! [01:10] I thought it might be usb 1.0 but is transferring something now (albeit slowly) [01:11] :D [01:12] :P you could buy a usb card reader, they are pretty cheap :P [01:13] GOod idea! [01:15] Is anyone on natty? [01:16] Hi, im currently trying to get my wireless card to work on my new xubuntu install and I'm running into some challenges. Would someone be able to help? [01:17] josh_: which card is it? [01:18] It's one that uses the broadcom wireless proprietary drivers. I did an install via usb stick, and when I was in live xubuntu it saw the proprietary driver. But after the install, it can no longer see them. [01:18] josh_: ok.. which broadcom is it (there's a lot of broadcom devices) or do you not know? [01:19] lsusb or lspci will tell you [01:19] * KM0201 waits for channel flood. [01:20] Unit193: you know, i don't think i've ever saw a broadcom USB device (not to say they aren't out ther eof course)... virtually every USB device i've dealt with, has been ralink [01:20] josh_: did you get lost? [01:20] Im actuall yon my windows partition now, I dont have access to a wired connection so I have to go on here to use the internet. I know my device manager says Im using the boadcom 802.11 driver [01:21] josh_: well, you need to boot linux, and tell us which broadcom device you have... open a terminal and type "lspci" no quotes, and hit enter.. find your wireless device. [01:21] Oh, the wireless card is not USB. The install disk is USB. [01:21] josh_: that was irrelevant, i was taking to Unit193 [01:21] josh_: as i said, boot linux, open a terminal and type lspci and hit enter [01:21] you'll get a bunch of output. [01:21] one of them, will look something like this... 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:432b] (rev 01) [01:22] write downt hat whole line, then come back. [01:22] you don't have another device you can come here on? [01:22] while the laptop boots linux? [01:22] Not right now, my main laptop is down right now. On the netbook. I'll [01:23] Ill check and get back. [01:23] josh_: you got an ipod touch or something that can get online? [01:23] if so, if so, i'll givce you my yahoo name and you can IM me. [01:25] My evo 4G, but I dont have a yahoo installed on it. Ill just check and come pack. The main issue is that the proprietary drivers are on the USB. The package installer wants it in the /media/cdrom location to find the packages. [01:25] josh_: so you have to manually install them [01:25] I mounted the xubunut iso to /media/cdrom, but it still fails to recognize it in the package installer. [01:25] josh_: here.. [01:25] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [01:26] that tells you how to install the drivers, w/o an internet connection [01:26] but you have to figure out which device you have first,. [01:26] Awesome, this is exactly what I was looking for. [01:26] Thank you KM0201. [01:26] no prob, any probs, come back and ask.; [01:26] josh_: also.. [01:26] if you have the install USB> [01:27] yes [01:27] the packages you need are on the USB, in the directories listed in that walkthrough. [01:27] so you can just go through, and double click them to install them. [01:28] Awesome, I'll give it a wirl and come back and give the results. Thanks for the help. [02:21] D: i think i floped things up [02:22] i wont know until i try to reboot [02:22] i dont feel like rebooting now [02:23] i should download and burn xubunut 11.04 before rebooting, just in case === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:50] hi [05:53] Hi!

I kinda crashed my PC during the update and I think I lack a few things [09:49] (such as my whole xfce settings :p and the vim package that is broken :p) [09:50] broken xfdesktop does that [09:51] So where can one find nonbroken xfdesktop? :P [09:51] I haven't really been following xfce/xubuntu development for a long time :s [09:52] well, it should just work, i don\t know much about fixing stuff broken in updating [09:53] SiDi: sudo apt-get install -f what you're looking for?

[13:49] ping [14:07] hi [14:22] question about wireless [14:26] The Weather update plugin in Xubuntu has stopped working since last week. Anyone know why? [14:31] i upgraded my laptop to natty and now the system does not recognize the wireless adapter. [14:35] what wireless card is it? [14:36] lspci in terminal lists all hardware, you can find it there [14:36] or if it's usb, lsusb [14:37] how it doesn't recognize it, you can't enable wireless on networkmanager? [14:38] broadcom bcm4311 [14:38] menu → system → drivers, get some driver and reboot [14:38] the light for the wireless is amber, that indicates that the device is off or not recognized [14:39] did you mean system | Additional drivers? [14:40] that [14:40] that lists Broadcom STA wireless driver [15:10] can anyone tell me how to disable all 'desktop affects like compiz fusion' and enable proprietary drivers? i can do both of these things in ubuntu-classic but i am unfamiliar with xfce [15:11] there aren't any effects, you can get propietary drivers with menu → system → Additional drivers [15:14] Sysi: ty, seems just like ubuntu now. this (nvidia) driver is activated but not currently in use, if i open it an it's activated, how do i put it into use? [15:16] dusf: known issue that it's marked unused even if it's in use, see lspci -k in terminal [15:17] Sysi: if relevant i'm doing this because winehq recommended i disable all desktop affects and use prop drivers to bring my fps from 5fps on xubuntu back to 35fps on ubuntu [15:17] Sysi: will try that in a second, just trying to activate a different version and then reactivate current (recommneded) version [15:20] Sysi: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 LE] (rev [15:21] Sysi: Kernel driver in use: nvidia [15:21] Sysi: Kernel modules: nvidia-current, nvidia-173, nouveau, nvidiafb [15:25] brb [16:02] Sysi: ty [16:41] hey, any reason why when i plug my usb stick in it keeps popping up windows of it over and over [16:41] something to do with mount -o loop? [16:42] It's most likely because the config says to, let me look and find where this is [16:42] i've heard about similar problem, happened with U3 [16:42] Menu>Settings>Settings Manager> File Manager>Removable Drives>Storage [16:43] thats what i have [16:43] switchblade [16:43] usb [16:43] The 3d line (Browse)...unclick and try that [16:43] haha still getting the popus "CD mounted" [16:44] but that fixed up 50 windows of Thunar coming up [16:45] wow [16:45] im just going to disable popups [16:45] theyre so annoying [16:45] Look at Notifications i Settings Manager...I'm not sure you can stop them, but Iput the disapear at 2 seconds and they go away fast [16:47] Hi there, I need some help if there's anyone around on this beautiful Saturday morning [16:47] bah...humbug [16:47] I try to only say that during December [16:48] jacobmar1ey1: What's the problem? [16:50] Well, I installed a fresh copy of 11.04 on my EEEPc a few weeks ago. Using xfce4-power-manager I set it to dim the display on battery to 10% when idle (one minute timeout). However, it won't take the setting. Everytime I reopen the manager it's set to 20%. I know this because right now I'm using the computer at 10% and, if I'm idle for a minute (reading or watching a vid) the screen BRIGHTENS to 20%! Not really saving me energy [16:51] I can't find any help on google/duckduckgo/the forums despite my searching [16:51] (I do not have gnome-power-manager installed) [16:53] jacobmar1ey1: Interesting...Mine holds at 10%...I set that a week or so ago and never checked it, but it did take the setting. [16:54] Try changing it in Settings>Settings Editor and see what happens [16:58] /xfce4-power-manager/brightness-level-on-battery is set to 10 [16:58] and /xfce4-power-manager/brightness-on-battery is set to 60 [16:59] jacobmar1ey1: Ah...I misread your original statement. My appologies. [16:59] and it the last minute of idleness made my brightness jumped again [17:00] It's quite confusing... [17:02] Is there a way to wipe the settings and try again? [17:06] jacobmar1ey1: It looks like the config file for that is ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml I'm not sure if you delete it it will autogenerate, so I [17:06] 'd rename it then try. [17:12] Thanks for finding that, I didn't think to look lower that the perchannel directory [17:14] I wonder if 20% is just as low as it will go? [17:16] jacobmar1ey1: Not sure [17:16] Actually, if it works fine for you then clearly that's not the case. [17:16] Arg. [17:17] jacobmar1ey1: No...I misread you original statement and thought you were talking about "Consider the computer at low powerat:"... [17:18] aaah [17:18] My brightness returns to 20% also [17:18] that one is fine [17:18] Oh no, I hope I haven't added an annoyance to your computer. [17:18] Try changing it in the config file..saving...and then open the gui and see what it says [17:19] jacobmar1ey1: 1) Nope, 2) I have broken my computer so many time and in so many ways, I have become proficient at re-installs :) [17:20] ha, it's why I keep my /home on a separate partition. That said, changing the xml file seems to stick, though the manager still displays 20% [17:21] I'm going to try to change it to 50% with the gui and see if I can change it at all, or if it's stuck at 20% [17:22] jacobmar1ey1: great (I think)...if you can comfirm that the guis says one thing and the config files says another (and the system follows the config file), I'd consider filing a bug. [17:23] Aah, setting the gui to 50% is carried over to the xml, and it works as expected when idle for a minute [17:24] though upon reopening the gui it's set to 20% again? [17:24] and the xml says what now? [17:25] brightness-level-on-battery type=int value=50 [17:26] and it jumps to 50% when left idle [17:26] Sounds like a bug...I'd document all this, with files and images on whatever service you prefer, and file the bug on launchpad. Even if it's a xfce bug, it'll get to the right people. [17:27] I guess I'll have to. For reference, I'm on x86_64, are you on i386? [17:27] 64 [17:28] jacobmar1ey1: It might even already be filed...check first :) [17:28] thanks very much for the time. I hope you enjoy your day. I'm off to do some laundry now, as that's something that I know will work :) [17:29] later === jacobmar1ey1 is now known as jacobmar1ey_laun [18:19] I just installed alacarte to edit the menus and the entries I hid ended up in the "other" category.
