[00:28] <philippe> Hi all
[00:28] <philippe> I need some help
[00:29] <philippe> I attach my digital camera to my laptop running xubuntu and it doesnt show up
[00:29] <philippe> The disk I mean
[00:29] <philippe> ANy ideas?
[00:29] <philippe> fdisk -l doesn't show it as visible although dmesg shoes the usb device as plugged in at an address
[00:30] <philippe> shows*
[00:36] <terry> whats the filesystem on the disk?
[00:37] <terry> if its ntsc you might need to install some drivers
[00:39] <drc> 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] <philippe> Ok Terry I check that now
[00:40] <philippe> drc I check that too
[00:40] <philippe> One sec
[00:49] <philippe> Its fat32 terry
[00:49] <philippe> Should that work on xubuntu?
[00:50] <drc> philippe: yes
[00:52] <philippe> drc how do I check under usb >
[00:52] <philippe> >
[00:52] <philippe> ?
[00:53] <drc> philippe: Check your <camera's> menu system, there's probably a USB setting on it
[00:53] <philippe> ok
[00:56] <philippe> couldnt find it
[00:56] <drc> Then I have no idea what to do next...sorry.
[00:57] <philippe> hang on a sec
[00:57] <philippe> I just installed gphoto2 and it found it
[01:00] <drc> good
[01:01] <philippe> It;s transferring now. I hope it works
[01:08] <Soupermanito> philippe, your laptop probably has card reading slots, you can avoid most of this problems plugging in your camera sd card
[01:10] <philippe> I am on an ibm thinkpad
[01:10] <philippe> Really old!
[01:10] <philippe> I thought it might be usb 1.0 but is transferring something now (albeit slowly)
[01:11] <Soupermanito> :D
[01:12] <Soupermanito> :P you could buy a usb card reader, they are pretty cheap :P
[01:13] <philippe> GOod idea!
[01:15] <philippe> Is anyone on natty?
[01:16] <josh_> 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] <KM0201> josh_: which card is it?
[01:18] <josh_> 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] <KM0201> josh_: ok.. which broadcom is it (there's a lot of broadcom devices) or do you not know?
[01:19] <Unit193> lsusb or lspci will tell you
[01:19]  * KM0201 waits for channel flood.
[01:20] <KM0201> 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] <KM0201> josh_: did you get lost?
[01:20] <josh_> 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] <KM0201> 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] <josh_> Oh, the wireless card is not USB. The install disk is USB.
[01:21] <KM0201> josh_: that was irrelevant, i was taking to Unit193
[01:21] <KM0201> josh_: as i said, boot linux, open a terminal and type lspci and hit enter
[01:21] <KM0201> you'll get a bunch of output.
[01:21] <KM0201> 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] <KM0201> write downt hat whole line, then come back.
[01:22] <KM0201> you don't have another device you can come here on?
[01:22] <KM0201> while the laptop boots linux?
[01:22] <josh_> Not right now, my main laptop is down right now. On the netbook. I'll
[01:23] <josh_> Ill check and get back.
[01:23] <KM0201> josh_: you got an ipod touch or something that can get online?
[01:23] <KM0201> if so, if so, i'll givce you my yahoo name and you can IM me.
[01:25] <josh_> 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] <KM0201> josh_: so you have to manually install them
[01:25] <josh_> I mounted the xubunut iso to /media/cdrom, but it still fails to recognize it in the package installer.
[01:25] <KM0201> josh_: here..
[01:25] <KM0201> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[01:26] <KM0201> that tells you how to install the drivers, w/o an internet connection
[01:26] <KM0201> but you have to figure out which device you have first,.
[01:26] <josh_> Awesome, this is exactly what I was looking for.
[01:26] <josh_> Thank you KM0201.
[01:26] <KM0201> no prob, any probs, come back and ask.;
[01:26] <KM0201> josh_: also..
[01:26] <KM0201> if you have the install USB>
[01:27] <josh_> yes
[01:27] <KM0201> the packages you need are on the USB, in the directories listed in that walkthrough.
[01:27] <KM0201> so you can just go through, and double click them to install them.
[01:28] <josh_> Awesome, I'll give it a wirl and come back and give the results. Thanks for the help.
[02:21] <Soupermanito> D: i think i floped things up
[02:22] <Soupermanito> i wont know until i try to reboot
[02:22] <Soupermanito> i dont feel like rebooting now
[02:23] <Soupermanito> i should download and burn xubunut 11.04 before rebooting, just in case
[05:50] <gennro> hi

[06:01] <puneet> hmm
[06:02] <bazhang> !panels
[06:03] <raevol> is xubuntu using a different notify daemon from regular ubuntu? is it safe to install the vanilla ubuntu one? (i prefer the behavior from maverick)
[06:04] <puneet> thanks man... it worked
[06:04] <Soupermanito> sheet i knew it wont be a good idea that apt-get autoremove move, now i can't change the volume because gnome-mixer is missing, damn you xfce lacking of audio mixer!!
[06:04] <puneet> and wht abt the audio
[06:05] <puneet> my audio drivers are not working
[06:06] <Soupermanito> oh well there is one after all, i'm afraid of rebooting now
[06:07] <JoachimSchraderN> Input/output-error: Downloading alternate-torrent now, and I'll give it a try.....
[06:08] <Soupermanito> puneet, what kind of audio card you have?
[06:09] <puneet> i have a his motherboard
[06:09] <puneet> and earlier in windows i was using c media
[06:09] <Soupermanito> do lspci on a terminal
[06:09] <Soupermanito> >lspci | grep Audio
[06:11] <Soupermanito> also >cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
[06:13] <puneet> cat: /proc/asound/card0/codec#*: No such file or directory

[06:23] <puneet> sudo cp /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.bak
[06:23] <puneet> This is just to keep backup, in case sumthng goes wrong.
[06:23] <puneet> sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[06:23] <puneet> This will open up a file in the text editor.

[09:47] <Sysi> SiDi: feature, you can change it from ~last line in greybird's gtkrc
[09:47] <SiDi> Sysi: thqnks
[09:48] <SiDi> Sysi: any idea why the desktop menu wouldnt be available on right click? I kinda crashed my PC during the update and I think I lack a few things
[09:49] <SiDi> (such as my whole xfce settings :p and the vim package that is broken :p)
[09:50] <Sysi> broken xfdesktop does that
[09:51] <SiDi> So where can one find nonbroken xfdesktop? :P
[09:51] <SiDi> I haven't really been following xfce/xubuntu development for a long time :s
[09:52] <Sysi> well, it should just work, i don\t know much about fixing stuff broken in updating
[09:53] <Unit193> SiDi: sudo apt-get install -f what you're looking for?
[09:56] <Sysi> i'd reinstall some packages and run dpkg --configure -a
[09:58] <SiDi> Sysi: ive done it already
[10:01] <infinitum-Omega> hi, hope someone can help me, my pc freezes randomly at most once a startup sometimes never here's the kernel log

[11:16] <Sysi> i did remember, and he's gone
[11:20] <ochosi> Sysi: guess i have to object :)
[11:20] <ochosi> so what did you want to know?
[11:24] <Sysi> SiDi asked about black scrollbar on terminal

[13:42] <glennop_> i upgraded a laptop to natty and the wireless networking is not functional.  any ideas?
[13:49] <glennop_> ping
[14:07] <glennop_> hi
[14:22] <glennop_> question about wireless
[14:26] <FiremanEd> The Weather update plugin in Xubuntu has stopped working since last week.  Anyone know why?
[14:31] <glennop_> i upgraded my laptop to natty and now the system does not recognize the wireless adapter.
[14:35] <Sysi> what wireless card is it?
[14:36] <Sysi> lspci in terminal lists all hardware, you can find it there
[14:36] <Sysi> or if it's usb, lsusb
[14:37] <Sysi> how it doesn't recognize it, you can't enable wireless on networkmanager?
[14:38] <glennop_> broadcom bcm4311
[14:38] <Sysi> menu → system → drivers, get some driver and reboot
[14:38] <glennop_> the light for the wireless is amber, that indicates that the device is off or not recognized
[14:39] <glennop_> did you mean system | Additional drivers?
[14:40] <Sysi> that
[14:40] <glennop_> that lists Broadcom STA wireless driver
[15:10] <dusf> 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] <Sysi> there aren't any effects, you can get propietary drivers with menu → system → Additional drivers
[15:14] <dusf> 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] <Sysi> dusf: known issue that it's marked unused even if it's in use, see lspci -k in terminal
[15:17] <dusf> 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] <dusf> Sysi: will try that in a second, just trying to activate a different version and then reactivate current (recommneded) version

[16:41] <christo_m> hey, any reason why when i plug my usb stick in it keeps popping up windows of it over and over
[16:41] <christo_m> something to do with mount -o loop?
[16:42] <drc> It's most likely because the config says to, let me look and find where this is
[16:42] <Sysi> i've heard about similar problem, happened with U3
[16:42] <drc> Menu>Settings>Settings Manager> File Manager>Removable Drives>Storage
[16:43] <christo_m> thats what i have

[16:43] <drc> The 3d line (Browse)...unclick and try that
[16:43] <christo_m> haha still getting the popus "CD mounted"
[16:44] <christo_m> but that fixed up 50 windows of Thunar coming up
[16:45] <christo_m> wow
[16:45] <christo_m> im just going to disable popups
[16:45] <christo_m> theyre so annoying
[16:45] <drc> 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] <jacobmar1ey1> Hi there, I need some help if there's anyone around on this beautiful Saturday morning
[16:47] <drc> bah...humbug
[16:47] <jacobmar1ey1> I try to only say that during December
[16:48] <drc> jacobmar1ey1: What's the problem?
[16:50] <jacobmar1ey1> 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] <jacobmar1ey1> I can't find any help on google/duckduckgo/the forums despite my searching
[16:51] <jacobmar1ey1> (I do not have gnome-power-manager installed)
[16:53] <drc> 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] <drc> Try changing it in Settings>Settings Editor and see what happens
[16:58] <jacobmar1ey1> /xfce4-power-manager/brightness-level-on-battery is set to 10
[16:58] <jacobmar1ey1> and /xfce4-power-manager/brightness-on-battery is set to 60
[16:59] <drc> jacobmar1ey1: Ah...I misread your original statement.  My appologies.
[16:59] <jacobmar1ey1> and it the last minute of idleness made my brightness jumped again
[17:00] <jacobmar1ey1> It's quite confusing...
[17:02] <jacobmar1ey1> Is there a way to wipe the settings and try again?
[17:06] <drc> 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] <drc> 'd rename it then try.
[17:12] <jacobmar1ey1> Thanks for finding that, I didn't think to look lower that the perchannel directory
[17:14] <jacobmar1ey1> I wonder if 20% is just as low as it will go?
[17:16] <drc> jacobmar1ey1: Not sure
[17:16] <jacobmar1ey1> Actually, if it works fine for you then clearly that's not the case.
[17:16] <jacobmar1ey1> Arg.
[17:17] <drc> jacobmar1ey1: No...I misread you original statement and thought you were talking about "Consider the computer at low powerat:"...
[17:18] <jacobmar1ey1> aaah
[17:18] <drc> My brightness returns to 20% also
[17:18] <jacobmar1ey1> that one is fine
[17:18] <jacobmar1ey1> Oh no, I hope I haven't added an annoyance to your computer.
[17:18] <drc> Try changing it in the config file..saving...and then open the gui and see what it says
[17:19] <drc> 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] <jacobmar1ey1> 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] <jacobmar1ey1> 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] <drc> 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] <jacobmar1ey1> Aah, setting the gui to 50% is carried over to the xml, and it works as expected when idle for a minute
[17:24] <jacobmar1ey1> though upon reopening the gui it's set to 20% again?
[17:24] <drc> and the xml says what now?
[17:25] <jacobmar1ey1> brightness-level-on-battery type=int value=50
[17:26] <jacobmar1ey1> and it jumps to 50% when left idle
[17:26] <drc> 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] <jacobmar1ey1> I guess I'll have to. For reference, I'm on x86_64, are you on i386?
[17:27] <drc> 64
[17:28] <drc> jacobmar1ey1: It might even already be filed...check first :)
[17:28] <jacobmar1ey1> 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] <drc> later
[18:19] <nekoCAT> I just installed alacarte to edit the menus and the entries I hid ended up in the "other" category.  Anyone else have this problem?
[18:20] <Sysi> "feature" afaik
[18:23] <Sysi> you can hide that category too
[18:24] <drc> nekoCAT: I did...and according to alacarte other is not shown?
[18:26] <Sysi> am i supposed to have two icons in panel for sound control?
[18:26] <drc> Sysi: Yes
[18:27] <nekoCAT> The other category is already hidden.
[18:27] <Sysi> and notification area one wants to open wrong settings, derp
[18:27] <drc> Check Sessions and Startup...I uncheck Volume Control and leave XFCE Volume Daemon.
[18:28] <drc> This gets rid of the one in NA and leaves the one in Indicator-Plugin
[18:28] <Sysi> ah, cool
[18:29] <drc> nekoCAT: Exactly what I found...I no longer use alacarte.
[18:30] <nekoCAT> drc: What do you use then?

[21:54] <xaemonic> hey guys i have xubuntu 11.04 with ati graphics, i can sucessfully get extended desktop useing "arandr" but inorder to do so i need lower resolution way to low to fit them left to right.. anyway i can increase maximum desktop size?
[21:56] <xaemonic> someone help plz
[21:56] <knome> !patience | xaemonic
[22:02] <xaemonic> anyone know how to increase xubuntu's maximum desktop size for extend desktop on multi monitors so i dont have to use such a low resolution on them?
[22:04] <knome> xaemonic, as you were told, please do not repeat your question quickly
[22:04] <xaemonic> sorry just operateing under 1000 by 600 is like havieng a stick in my brain lol
[22:07] <tomekh> i'm currently on 1024x768 and not bad.
[22:08] <tomekh> by the way, why don't you use xrandr?
[22:08] <xaemonic> theirs 2 programs for splitting windows?
[22:08] <xaemonic> i use arander
[22:08] <xaemonic> cuz someone told me to
[22:09] <xaemonic> xrander give more desktop space to work with?
[22:09] <xaemonic> also i was wondering is their a way i can make what i do on one desktop not affect the other? for instance i watch full screen youtube on one an when i click on other it drops fullscreen on other :(
[22:09] <Sysi> arandr's just gui for xrandr
[22:10] <xaemonic> ok so i should install xrandr and use that instead? but keep my old arandr ?? yes?
[22:11] <Sysi> it doesn't make difference
[22:11] <xaemonic> if it dosent make a difference why use it lolz
[22:18] <xaemonic> does anyone know how i can make full screen video on one monitor not minimise when i click stuff on other monitor (exented desktop) ??
[22:22] <Sysi> can be impossible flash issue
[22:23] <xaemonic> so i cannot fullscreen youtube on one monitor and do stuff on other without it dropping out of fullscreen then?
[22:24] <Sysi> i don't know for sure
[22:28] <evon> how do i get the vnc server to start automatically at start-up
[22:28] <xaemonic> go to your settings manager
[22:28] <xaemonic> their should be a startup thing somewhere in their
[22:28] <xaemonic> just add the program to that ;)
[22:28] <evon> i tried putting ./vino-server in there but it does not work
[22:29] <evon> i have to navigate to /usr/lib/vino before I can run the server
[22:29] <xaemonic> hmm well thats the extent of my knolidge im fairly new lol what your doing sounds more complacated than im prepaired to handle
[22:29] <evon> lol
[22:30] <evon> cool
[22:30] <xaemonic> sysi can u help evon? lolz
[22:31] <xaemonic> anyone know how to edit fullscreen options? i want to have youtube/vlc media fullscreen on my tv while i use my other monitor to surf the net without dropping out of fullscreen on the other monitor
[22:31] <evon> what video card you using?
[22:32] <Sysi> evon: use full path if needed
[22:32] <xaemonic> ati
[22:33] <evon> That's unfortunate
[22:33] <evon> i always use Nvidia
[22:33] <Sysi> slave for it
[22:33] <xaemonic> lol do u know if i can fullscreen with exented desktop and click on other without fullscreening evon?
[22:34] <evon> Sysi: I tried that but it does not work.  I wrote "/usr/lib/vino ./vino-settings"
[22:34] <Sysi> evon: it doesn't work like that
[22:34] <evon> Xaemonic: Not with an ATI Card.  Only with an Nvidia card
[22:34] <evon> Sysi: what's the command I have to use?
[22:35] <Sysi> evon: try rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions and then save session on logout
[22:35] <Sysi> evon: old ati works far better than nvidia
[22:35] <xaemonic> are you sure evon? theirs no place i cant disable auto minimize?
[22:35] <evon> Sysi: What does that command do? I've always had a hard time with ATI
[22:35] <Sysi> i'll test if it's flash issue, if it is, complain to adobe
[22:35] <Sysi> evon: erases old sessions
[22:35] <xaemonic> dont think its flash
[22:36] <xaemonic> i think its auto dezined to auto minimize on click
[22:36] <xaemonic> of desktop
[22:36] <xaemonic> if i can find a option to turn that off then i can fullscreen and do other stuff
[22:36] <Sysi> nope, flash it is
[22:36] <xaemonic> without it dropping on me
[22:36] <xaemonic> its flash isue?
[22:36] <xaemonic> so would i be able to fullscreen with vlc
[22:36] <Sysi> happens for me too, normal videos work
[22:36] <xaemonic> and it not drop when i click over here?
[22:37] <xaemonic> if thts the case ill just download all my media
[22:37] <Sysi> vlc and gnome-mplayer both work well dualscreen with me, adobe's fault
[22:37] <xaemonic> oh ok!
[22:37] <Sysi> dualscreen/fullscreen
[22:37] <xaemonic> so i can watch movies on one screen and click and type on other
[22:37] <xaemonic> and u still have the fullscreen on ur second minotior?
[22:37] <xaemonic> awesome thanks sysi
[22:37] <Sysi> yup, how old ati do you have btw?
[22:37] <xaemonic> my ati
[22:37] <xaemonic> hold ill get u specs
[22:38] <Sysi> just model is enough
[22:38] <xaemonic> how do i find out in xubuntu
[22:39] <xaemonic> im usual a kde user but got sick of the glitches and graphics falures
[22:39] <xaemonic> gota love when ur whole screen turns to white and rainbow bars and no display lolz
[22:39] <Sysi> lspci | grep VGA
[22:40] <xaemonic>  VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M880G [Mobility Radeon HD 4200]
[22:40] <xaemonic> i tryed to get 3 desktops rollin on ubuntu but couldnt make it happen lol
[22:41] <xaemonic> wish i could increase my resolution and keep my extended desktop :(
[22:41] <xaemonic> but they dont fit when i up the resolution on ither of them
[22:42] <Sysi> back at the days you had to do that with xorg.conf... does menu → system → additional drivers offer you anything
[22:43] <xaemonic> nope drivers fully updated first thing i did when i installed xubuntu
[22:43] <Sysi> i'm not sure if i should recommend propietary ati drivers but well, it propably would hel fixing that
[22:43] <xaemonic> yeah i have ati catylist controller
[22:43] <xaemonic> but i dont use it cuz its buggy as hell
[22:44] <xaemonic> oh btw what is the cool looking mirc thats just black backround with white txt
[22:44] <xaemonic> its extreemly simple looking
[22:45] <KM0201> xaemonic: it could be irssi, but it could also be xchat, and someone just set the colors to be white on black
[22:45] <xaemonic> i use xchat
[22:45] <xaemonic> and theirs too many boxes and stuff
[22:45] <xaemonic> this mirc was realy simple
[22:45] <xaemonic> kinda looked like a terminal window
[22:46] <KM0201> xaemonic: then it was irssi
[22:46] <evon> are there any simple little programs for xubuntu that will show me my IP on my desktop or is their an easy way to create a static IP?
[22:46] <KM0201> xaemonic: or.. it was "most likely" irssi anyway.. there's several terminal clients out there
[22:46] <Sysi> i think you can get xchat quite minimal
[22:47] <KM0201> Sysi: yeah, you should be able to.
[22:47] <Sysi> change from tree-view to tabs and hide nicklist, and put colors as you like
[22:47] <KM0201> hide menus, hide user list, hide channel list
[22:47] <Sysi> or learn to use irssi
[22:47] <xaemonic> ok ill see thx
[22:49] <KM0201> i'm not a huge fan of irssi...
[22:49] <KM0201> i just never can figure out setting it up.
[22:50] <KM0201> xchat, is more or less "start and go".
[22:50] <Sysi> i'm using irssi because i'm running it inside gnu screen on server
[22:50] <xaemonic> cool
[22:50] <xaemonic> that sounds complicated lolz
[22:50] <Sysi> a bit
[22:50] <xaemonic> i know everyone gets mad at me when i bring this up but i gota ask for xchat how do i get fserv addon?
[22:51] <Sysi> fserv?
[22:51] <xaemonic> the thing that pops up Xaemonoic Fserv Anime Movies Games etc...
[22:51] <xaemonic> and u click on them
[22:51] <xaemonic> and u can download my stuff
[22:52] <xaemonic> or upload
[22:52] <xaemonic> i wont add it here ofcorse
[22:52]  * KM0201 has never heard of fserv
[22:52] <xaemonic> realy? go to dalnet and go to any movie game anime room etc
[22:52] <xaemonic> and youll see adds popup all the time
[22:52] <xaemonic> for peoples file servers
[22:52] <KM0201> xaemonic: well why don't you ask them?
[22:52] <xaemonic> because they all use windows
[22:53] <xaemonic> i want a linux version of that script they use
[22:53] <KM0201> xaemonic: then ask in #xchat
[22:53] <KM0201> xaemonic: its possible there isn't one
[22:53] <xaemonic> oh i never thought of that
[22:53] <xaemonic> thanks so much
[22:54] <evon> are there any simple little programs for xubuntu that will show me my IP on my desktop or is their an easy way to create a static IP?
[22:55] <Sysi> i think conky could do that some way
[22:55] <Sysi> !conky
[22:55] <Sysi> stupid bot
[22:55] <Sysi> !info conky
[22:58] <evon> sysi: does it use a lot of resources?
[22:58] <Sysi> nope
[22:58] <Sysi> look at the installation size
[22:59] <Sysi> it's possible that you could change to stating IP from network panel applet, but you never know about networkdamager
[23:49] <snii> When I try to use sudo, I get the message "can't open /etc/sudoers: No such file or directory". What do I do now?
