|---|---|---|

| Andantino | and the cube will switch screens but every screen is the same with the same tabs open | 03:57 |
| Wizard | hi | 08:12 |
| Wizard | what happened with places menu in natty? | 08:12 |
| eee | hello everyone. Does anybody know how to set firewall up? | 08:49 |
| eee | I'm newbie in irc. can anybody answer me: can you see my posts? is this correct channel? | 08:55 |
| Unit193 | eee: This is the correct channel | 08:56 |
| eee | is firewall for xubuntu really necessary ? | 08:57 |
| Unit193 | eee: You may want to look at gufw since it's a gui | 08:57 |
| Unit193 | !firewall | eee | 08:58 |
| ubottu | eee: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. | 08:58 |
| eee | unit193: ty. but i did not quite understand what are you talking about. can you give me links. and i mean real firewall with interface like firestarter etc | 09:03 |
| Unit193 | You could use firestarter... But you can look at some info about gufw in synaptic | 09:10 |
| Wizard | eee: all of this apps Unit193 mentioned comes from network traffic control and they don't have many common options known from 'firewalls' for windoze | 09:13 |
| eee | ok. ty all | 09:13 |
| Wizard | you will find possibilities of traffic shaping, nat, port blocking and forwarding, packet filtering, deep packet analysis and so forth | 09:14 |
| Wizard | what features do you expect from a firewall? | 09:14 |
| eee | i prefer something like Comodo fw. i dont like any application starting or sharing resources without permission | 09:18 |
| Wizard | sorry, i haven't used windows for ages, i don't know comodo, what does it do? | 09:19 |
| eee | i got message from Pidgin. and i guess its already runing , but i dont allowed anything like that | 09:20 |
| Unit193 | Wizard: He wants something like whitelisting | 09:22 |
| eee | comodo asked you every time , when some appl or program want to use your resources or connections | 09:22 |
| Wizard | i'm never gonna understand windows.. | 09:23 |
| Wizard | i would kill myself if any app was bothering me to send something or not :/ | 09:24 |
| Wizard | eee: i've never heared about such tool | 09:24 |
| eee | you can make a rules)) | 09:24 |
| Unit193 | Wizard: You can change settings in it (I've used an older version, seems nice) | 09:25 |
| eee | but. i find Pidgin running and i dont allowed this. is it normal? | 09:25 |
| Wizard | no | 09:26 |
| Wizard | xubuntu starts no network tools by defautl, iirc | 09:26 |
| eee | ok . let me see. | 09:27 |
| Wizard | maybe you started it once and forgot about it.. xubuntu saves session by default | 09:28 |
| Wizard | (this is another nightmares causing behaviour) | 09:28 |
| eee | its my 3rd session, and i dont think i did started it before, but anyway i found it suspicious. | 09:30 |
| eee | i choose linux for security reasons. and all i worried about is a my passwords. i dont keep any private info here. but i really need something to protect my emails. can you give a advise about my worries? ))) | 09:35 |
| eee | does anybody knows anything about threats such as worms or troyans for xubuntu? | 09:44 |
| eee | and what i should do first to minimize risks? | 09:44 |
| eee | ok)) so can anybody explain me how to install firestarter ? i could find::::To install, open the Applications!!!! (where is it???) menu and choose Add/Remove.Select Show: All available applications and search for Firestarter. | 09:51 |
| eee | *i could not ))) | 09:51 |
| Unit193 | Menu > System > Synaptic Package Manager | 09:53 |
| eee | ok | 09:54 |
| eee | and then? | 09:54 |
| Unit193 | There should be a search button | 09:54 |
| Sysi | basically firewall is quite useless, you anyway don't have anything listening those closed ports, open ones need to be open anyway | 09:55 |
| Wizard | eee: there were some malicious scripts hidden in packages with screensaver on gnome-look.org | 09:56 |
| eee | ok .ty | 09:56 |
| Wizard | basic security hint is to use only official repositories, keep away from ppa and don't install any debs downloaded directly | 09:57 |
| Wizard | i think using LTS will also help you maintaining consistent and secure system | 09:58 |
| eee | ty wise wizzard | 09:58 |
| Wizard | нет проблема | 09:58 |
| eee | LTS? how can i install it. Speak Russian? | 09:59 |
| Wizard | a bit | 09:59 |
| Unit193 | There is also a russian channel | 10:00 |
| Wizard | lts - long term support - is a older version of xubuntu, which still recieves security updates | 10:00 |
| Sysi | 10.04 currently | 10:00 |
| Wizard | yup | 10:00 |
| cYmen | Does anybody know how to turn on the nocaps modifier for a keyboard layout? | 10:00 |
| Wizard | eee: wikipedia has pretty nice explanation of ubuntu releases | 10:00 |
| Sysi | i think you'd need selinux and noscript to have really secure system, if even then | 10:00 |
| cYmen | (It maps caps-lock to control.) | 10:01 |
| Sysi | !lts | 10:01 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 10:01 |
| Wizard | cYmen: setxkbmap -option nocaps <your_layout_here> | 10:01 |
| eee | ty all | 10:02 |
| Wizard | cYmen: unfortunately xfce does not have neat xkb options editor (like gnome or kde) | 10:02 |
| cYmen | mkay...so where do I autoload that? | 10:03 |
| Sysi | settings -> sessions and startup should work | 10:03 |
| Wizard | yup | 10:03 |
| Wizard | cYmen: first try it in terminal, if it works | 10:05 |
| * cYmen reboots. | 10:07 | |
| Wizard | does anybody use xubuntu with touchscreen device? | 10:08 |
| cYmen | Wizard: Seems to work fine. Thanks! | 10:10 |
| Wizard | your welcome | 10:10 |
| Wizard | cYmen: you didn't have to reboot, btw | 10:10 |
| Sysi | for testing it he did | 10:11 |
| Wizard | eee: if it comes about my russian skills - i've been learning it for 1,5 year | 10:12 |
| eee | anybody knows how to make youtube play videos? | 10:14 |
| Wizard | sure | 10:14 |
| Wizard | it says flash is not installed? | 10:14 |
| Wizard | look for flashplugin in synaptic | 10:15 |
| eee | ok. let me see. | 10:16 |
| eee | what is a best package? | 10:17 |
| Wizard | flashplugin-installer | 10:18 |
| Wizard | it does everyting for you | 10:18 |
| cYmen | How can I add shortcuts to network shares to the file manager? | 10:20 |
| cYmen | Like network drives in windows.. | 10:20 |
| cYmen | ugh I'll just use the shell | 10:23 |
| cYmen | gui-schmui :p | 10:23 |
| Wizard | lol | 10:23 |
| eee | when i mark Adobe Flash Player plugin installer it shows "!" sign and cant be applied before "fix broken package" . does anybody know anything about it? | 10:31 |
| Sysi | update package list, if your system is up-to-date | 10:34 |
| Wizard | o_O | 10:37 |
| Wizard | synaptics also has 'fix broken' somewhere | 10:37 |
| Sysi | my guess still is outdated package database | 10:38 |
| Wizard | me too | 10:38 |
| eee | update helped. ty | 10:38 |
| eee | still black screen on youtube, do i need to restart to apply changes? | 10:45 |
| Sysi | make sure you don't have gnash installed | 10:46 |
| Sysi | restarting firefox should be enough | 10:46 |
| Sysi | what graphics driver and is your system 32 or 64 bit? | 10:46 |
| eee | let me see. min | 10:47 |
| eee | how can i find out about gnash? | 10:49 |
| Sysi | synaptic, or see what plugin you have on firefox | 10:49 |
| eee | gnash is not installed. where i can find out about firefox plugins? ( i know its too noobish((( | 10:53 |
| Wizard | about:plugins | 10:54 |
| Wizard | as Sysi said - firefox restart should be enough | 10:54 |
| visitor1 | hi, anybody manages to play flash video fluently under xubuntu 10.04? | 10:54 |
| * Wizard | 10:55 | |
| visitor1 | under firefox it crashes and under opera it uses almost 100% cpu | 10:56 |
| Sysi | what graphics card/drivers, 32 or 64bit? | 10:57 |
| Sysi | what cpu, fullscreen or always? | 10:57 |
| visitor1 | the nvdidia drivers 32 bit, pentium 6300 | 10:58 |
| visitor1 | always | 10:58 |
| visitor1 | 9600gt | 10:59 |
| Sysi | right click on some video and set off hardware acceleration from settings | 10:59 |
| Sysi | flash is known to eat lots of cpu though | 10:59 |
| visitor1 | ok, i will check it out, tough i think i already tried this also | 11:00 |
| visitor1 | i heard about light spark? | 11:00 |
| visitor1 | but i think its still beta and also needs a newer os version | 11:00 |
| Wizard | what is light spark? | 11:16 |
| Wizard | btw, flash should die a painfull death ;) | 11:16 |
| Belserusk | How do people find 11.04? | 11:44 |
| Belserusk | Rating out of 10? | 11:45 |
| Wizard | works fine | 11:55 |
| Wizard | ah, he quit :P | 11:55 |
| jrgifford | Any idea on how I could reset a users Xubuntu session? | 14:13 |
| Wizard | jrgifford: you can delete xfce session configuration | 14:38 |
| jrgifford | Wizard: where is that stored? | 14:38 |
| TheSheep | in ~/.cache/sessions | 14:38 |
| jrgifford | I'd like to reset this guys desktop without losing any data (like pidgin/empathy/chrome/ config etc) | 14:39 |
| Wizard | ah, desktop | 14:39 |
| Wizard | than look at ~/.config/xfce | 14:40 |
| jrgifford | Thanks Wizard and TheSheep! | 14:44 |
| xubuntu258 | ciao a tutti | 14:45 |
| xubuntu258 | ho un problema | 14:45 |

| Pres-Gas | Hey, what is the proper way to disable the ability to have non-admin users shut down/restart a machine? | 16:20 |
| Pres-Gas | I saw some pages that talked about gconf editing the gnome-power-manager, but we are using the xfce4-power-manager | 16:21 |
| Pres-Gas | ...or would I be editing something else? | 16:21 |
| GridCube | mm | 16:26 |
| GridCube | i don't know | 16:26 |
| GridCube | let me find out | 16:27 |
| Pres-Gas | Yeah, I am still googling as well.... | 16:27 |
| xrdodrx | what would stop them from hitting the power button? | 16:29 |
| ablomen | http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/03/20/disable-shutdown-for-normal-users/ << try this | 16:29 |
| xrdodrx | seems like a pointless setting to me | 16:29 |
| ablomen | (also disables the power button on some pc's) | 16:30 |
| cYmen | Hm...how do I login to the cups admin page? | 16:46 |
| cYmen | ah my user...gna...nvm :) | 16:47 |
| freed0m | Есть которые по-русски понимают? | 16:49 |
| charlie-tca | !ru | freed0m | 16:50 |
| ubottu | freed0m: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 16:50 |
| freed0m | та ппц ребята. у меня вопрос по xubuntu а не ubuntu | 16:51 |
| charlie-tca | Как правило, # Ubuntu-RU должны быть в состоянии помочь и с Ubuntu и Xubuntu. Это, к сожалению, только на английском языке канала. | 16:52 |
| cYmen | hm... my printer stopped working and I don't know why :/ | 16:53 |
| charlie-tca | check the cables? | 16:53 |
| freed0m | Блин)) так ты же на чистом русском написал)))) товарищ)) а переводчик нам поможет? | 16:53 |
| charlie-tca | out of paper, out of ink? | 16:53 |
| charlie-tca | Я использую Google Translate для этого | 16:54 |
| cYmen | hehe sadly no | 16:54 |
| cYmen | cups is complaining about the cups/foo/backend/hp failing | 16:54 |
| cYmen | There are some reports about this but I have yet to find a way to fix it that works. | 16:55 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe it needs a restart? | 16:55 |
| cYmen | Seems to be a generic error message. | 16:55 |
| charlie-tca | I don't really know much about printers. | 16:55 |
| charlie-tca | freed0m: I can try maybe. | 16:55 |
| cYmen | Nobody does. Everybody hates printers and wants them to just work. :) | 16:56 |
| charlie-tca | There is a couple of developers that works the printer stuff, to the best of my knowledge. Unfortunately, there seldom are any workarounds for printer issues. | 16:57 |
| freed0m | Translation easy to understand? | 16:57 |
| charlie-tca | not always - but we can try | 16:57 |
| freed0m | o'key)) | 16:58 |
| cYmen | Jesus, there is a fucking monkey in the hard disk slot drive noodles. | 16:58 |
| charlie-tca | !language | cYmen | 16:58 |
| ubottu | cYmen: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 16:58 |
| cYmen | Oh, come on. :) | 16:59 |
| charlie-tca | no | 16:59 |
| charlie-tca | keep it clean | 16:59 |
| cYmen | So I can't say the f word? | 16:59 |
| charlie-tca | or any other cuss word. You agreed to follow the guidelines when you log in to any #ubuntu/#xubuntu channel | 17:00 |
| charlie-tca | !guidelines | 17:00 |
| ubottu | The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 17:00 |
| charlie-tca | or any variation on those words, including a placeholder type word/character | 17:01 |
| freed0m | How to configure your desktop so you can create links to the program (icon) as for example in Lubuntu / runtu / ubuntu? | 17:02 |
| charlie-tca | freed0m: just right click on the desktop, add a launcher | 17:03 |
| charlie-tca | freed0m: in Xubuntu 11.04, you can drag the icon from the menu to the desktop, too. | 17:03 |
| === xGrind is now known as xGrind-00f | ||
| charlie-tca | I lied to you | 17:04 |
| charlie-tca | you can't drag it. | 17:04 |
| charlie-tca | freed0m: the other way is to open Application Finder, and drag the application to the desktop | 17:05 |
| freed0m | <charlie-tca> freed0m: just right click on the desktop, add a launcher:With this method, I know, but it is not very convenient. System xubunru 10.10 | 17:06 |
| charlie-tca | I think you drag the icon from Application Finder, even in 10.10, but am not sure. | 17:06 |
| Sysi | drag from xfce4-appfinder | 17:06 |
| freed0m | Finder is available in ubuntu repositories? | 17:08 |
| Sysi | should there by default | 17:09 |
| charlie-tca | yes, it should already be installed in menu -> Accessories | 17:09 |
| charlie-tca | uses the magnifying glass icon | 17:09 |
| freed0m | No, I do not see this program in the settings | 17:11 |
| charlie-tca | попробуйте установить его тогда. это называется xfce4-appfinder | 17:11 |
| charlie-tca | I don't the translation for the Application Finder in the menu | 17:12 |
| freed0m | Sorry. I found it))) but my questions are not over yet) I have still not tired? | 17:12 |
| charlie-tca | You are doing fine. Let's keep trying to answer them. | 17:13 |
| charlie-tca | Sysi: you write any Russian? | 17:13 |
| freed0m | I removed the standard package of sound control Mixer. I downloaded a new (gnome). I put the sound icon in the system Trey? | 17:21 |
| charlie-tca | I do not know how to do that. | 17:22 |
| freed0m | ((( | 17:23 |
| dr4c4n | freed0m: which new sound control? | 17:23 |
| freed0m | yes, yes | 17:23 |
| dr4c4n | which one did u install other than mixer? | 17:24 |
| dr4c4n | I have three | 17:24 |
| freed0m | I removed the mixer and set a new. | 17:25 |
| dr4c4n | ok.. but what is the new one called | 17:26 |
| dr4c4n | is it the pulse audio mixer | 17:26 |
| GridCube | he said it was the gnome mixer | 17:26 |
| dr4c4n | ok, those two actually link to the same thing | 17:26 |
| dr4c4n | i just type mixer or pavucontrol | 17:27 |
| dr4c4n | or gnome-mixer on cmd line | 17:27 |
| dr4c4n | u can setup a connection from the control panel if you want, but i just go to CLI | 17:27 |
| dr4c4n | (terminal) | 17:27 |
| dr4c4n | what's the problem exactly? | 17:27 |
| freed0m | wait please) i'm translate | 17:28 |
| freed0m | The problem is how to control the mixer icon in the system tray | 17:31 |
| charlie-tca | left-click it, I think | 17:34 |
| freed0m | The question may seem ridiculous: What are the official system requirements in xubuntu? :) | 17:35 |
| freed0m | <charlie-tca>ok) | 17:36 |
| charlie-tca | not ridiculous :-) 400MHz CPU, 192MB ram to install, works really slow. Better is 512MB ram, 550MHz CPU | 17:37 |
| charlie-tca | Installing using the alternate cd requires 2.5GB hard drive | 17:37 |
| freed0m | graphics card? | 17:38 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 17:38 |
| freed0m | parameters? | 17:38 |
| charlie-tca | any graphics card should work. Some of the old cards fail, like the ATI Rage | 17:38 |
| charlie-tca | We have no parameters for graphics cards. | 17:39 |
| charlie-tca | freed0m: I have graphics cards from 1998 still working with Xubuntu, but they won't work for Ubuntu. | 17:39 |
| GridCube | where can i get help on abiword? | 17:41 |
| GridCube | :/ | 17:41 |
| GridCube | for some reason it started to think for me and decided i dont whant to write what im writing | 17:41 |
| freed0m | My system: Intel Celeron 2.00GHz (400mhz), 1.2GB RAM, Graphics Card NVIDIA 128MB frames, but for some reason the system freezes. | 17:41 |
| freed0m | %) | 17:42 |
| GridCube | it doesnt let me use " it chages it to « and then it turns ' and ` to " | 17:42 |
| GridCube | oh there is a "smart quotes" thing | 17:43 |
| GridCube | who in earth... | 17:43 |
| freed0m | :/ | 17:45 |
| GridCube | freed0m, how it frezees? when you open thunar? | 17:46 |
| freed0m | At the opening of the Center Ubuntu Applications | 17:48 |
| freed0m | CPU 100% | 17:48 |
| charlie-tca | freed0m: system is good for Xubuntu, freezes is because of something else. Probably looking for network or you need to run update-manager | 17:50 |
| charlie-tca | GridCube: abiword help here or online docs | 17:50 |
| charlie-tca | GridCube: http://www.abisource.com/help/en-US/index.html | 17:51 |
| charlie-tca | all abiword help is now online. It opens in firefox, so if firefox is already open, help opens there. | 17:51 |
| GridCube | thanks charlie-tca i found out what was the thing that was messing whit my writing, lets see if i can end this paper | 17:52 |
| freed0m | <charlie-tca> run $ sudo apt-get update? | 18:00 |
| charlie-tca | freed0m: yes | 18:00 |
| freed0m | thanks | 18:00 |
| charlie-tca | and also sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 18:00 |
| charlie-tca | see if it helps | 18:00 |
| freed0m | apt-get dist-upgrade I upgraded to version 11.04, but it is not good | 18:02 |
| charlie-tca | apt-get dist-upgrade won't upgrade to 11.04 unless you change the file in /etc/apt/sources.list to natty instead of maverick | 18:03 |
| charlie-tca | however, if you do sudo apt-get upgrade, you only get some of the updates, and many will not be installed for you. | 18:04 |
| charlie-tca | You need to use either apt-get dist-upgrade or the update-manager to get all the updates installed | 18:04 |
| freed0m | Well. I listened to your advice. ) | 18:07 |
| charlie-tca | Debian uses dist-upgrade to upgrade to the next release. We use it for updates only, it will not upgrade to the next release for us without more work. | 18:08 |
| charlie-tca | Now I got to go walk the dog here. I will be back in a few minutes. | 18:09 |
| freed0m | okey. Thanks you | 18:10 |
| Wizard | good evening | 18:29 |
| freed0m | good | 18:30 |
| Wizard | of course it's good | 18:30 |
| freed0m | )) | 18:31 |
| GridCube | :D | 18:31 |
| GridCube | good | 18:31 |
| Wizard | freed0m: you're the one who was here earlier with nick eee? | 18:36 |
