=== xGrind-off is now known as xGrind [03:55] im having a problem with compiz and the desktop cube and all that [03:56] when i try to run it, all my windows lose their maximize and minimize buttons [03:57] and the cube will switch screens but every screen is the same with the same tabs open [08:12] hi [08:12] what happened with places menu in natty? [08:49] hello everyone. Does anybody know how to set firewall up? [08:55] I'm newbie in irc. can anybody answer me: can you see my posts? is this correct channel? [08:56] eee: This is the correct channel [08:57] is firewall for xubuntu really necessary ? [08:57] eee: You may want to look at gufw since it's a gui [08:58] !firewall | eee [08:58] 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. [09:03] 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 [09:10] You could use firestarter... But you can look at some info about gufw in synaptic [09:13] 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] ok. ty all [09:14] you will find possibilities of traffic shaping, nat, port blocking and forwarding, packet filtering, deep packet analysis and so forth [09:14] what features do you expect from a firewall? [09:18] i prefer something like Comodo fw. i dont like any application starting or sharing resources without permission [09:19] sorry, i haven't used windows for ages, i don't know comodo, what does it do? [09:20] i got message from Pidgin. and i guess its already runing , but i dont allowed anything like that [09:22] Wizard: He wants something like whitelisting [09:22] comodo asked you every time , when some appl or program want to use your resources or connections [09:23] i'm never gonna understand windows.. [09:24] i would kill myself if any app was bothering me to send something or not :/ [09:24] eee: i've never heared about such tool [09:24] you can make a rules)) [09:25] Wizard: You can change settings in it (I've used an older version, seems nice) [09:25] but. i find Pidgin running and i dont allowed this. is it normal? [09:26] no [09:26] xubuntu starts no network tools by defautl, iirc [09:27] ok . let me see. [09:28] maybe you started it once and forgot about it.. xubuntu saves session by default [09:28] (this is another nightmares causing behaviour) [09:30] its my 3rd session, and i dont think i did started it before, but anyway i found it suspicious. [09:35] 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? ))) [09:44] does anybody knows anything about threats such as worms or troyans for xubuntu? [09:44] and what i should do first to minimize risks? [09:51] 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] *i could not ))) [09:53] Menu > System > Synaptic Package Manager [09:54] ok [09:54] and then? [09:54] There should be a search button [09:55] basically firewall is quite useless, you anyway don't have anything listening those closed ports, open ones need to be open anyway [09:56] eee: there were some malicious scripts hidden in packages with screensaver on gnome-look.org [09:56] ok .ty [09:57] basic security hint is to use only official repositories, keep away from ppa and don't install any debs downloaded directly [09:58] i think using LTS will also help you maintaining consistent and secure system [09:58] ty wise wizzard [09:58] нет проблема [09:59] LTS? how can i install it. Speak Russian? [09:59] a bit [10:00] There is also a russian channel [10:00] lts - long term support - is a older version of xubuntu, which still recieves security updates [10:00] 10.04 currently [10:00] yup [10:00] Does anybody know how to turn on the nocaps modifier for a keyboard layout? [10:00] eee: wikipedia has pretty nice explanation of ubuntu releases [10:00] i think you'd need selinux and noscript to have really secure system, if even then [10:01] (It maps caps-lock to control.) [10:01] !lts [10:01] 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] cYmen: setxkbmap -option nocaps [10:02] ty all [10:02] cYmen: unfortunately xfce does not have neat xkb options editor (like gnome or kde) [10:03] mkay...so where do I autoload that? [10:03] settings -> sessions and startup should work [10:03] yup [10:05] cYmen: first try it in terminal, if it works [10:07] * cYmen reboots. [10:08] does anybody use xubuntu with touchscreen device? [10:10] Wizard: Seems to work fine. Thanks! [10:10] your welcome [10:10] cYmen: you didn't have to reboot, btw [10:11] for testing it he did [10:12] eee: if it comes about my russian skills - i've been learning it for 1,5 year [10:14] anybody knows how to make youtube play videos? [10:14] sure [10:14] it says flash is not installed? [10:15] look for flashplugin in synaptic [10:16] ok. let me see. [10:17] what is a best package? [10:18] flashplugin-installer [10:18] it does everyting for you [10:20] How can I add shortcuts to network shares to the file manager? [10:20] Like network drives in windows.. [10:23] ugh I'll just use the shell [10:23] gui-schmui :p [10:23] lol [10:31] 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? [10:34] update package list, if your system is up-to-date [10:37] o_O [10:37] synaptics also has 'fix broken' somewhere [10:38] my guess still is outdated package database [10:38] me too [10:38] update helped. ty [10:45] still black screen on youtube, do i need to restart to apply changes? [10:46] make sure you don't have gnash installed [10:46] restarting firefox should be enough [10:46] what graphics driver and is your system 32 or 64 bit? [10:47] let me see. min [10:49] how can i find out about gnash? [10:49] synaptic, or see what plugin you have on firefox [10:53] gnash is not installed. where i can find out about firefox plugins? ( i know its too noobish((( [10:54] about:plugins [10:54] as Sysi said - firefox restart should be enough [10:54] hi, anybody manages to play flash video fluently under xubuntu 10.04? [10:55] * Wizard [10:56] under firefox it crashes and under opera it uses almost 100% cpu [10:57] what graphics card/drivers, 32 or 64bit? [10:57] what cpu, fullscreen or always? [10:58] the nvdidia drivers 32 bit, pentium 6300 [10:58] always [10:59] 9600gt [10:59] right click on some video and set off hardware acceleration from settings [10:59] flash is known to eat lots of cpu though [11:00] ok, i will check it out, tough i think i already tried this also [11:00] i heard about light spark? [11:00] but i think its still beta and also needs a newer os version [11:16] what is light spark? [11:16] btw, flash should die a painfull death ;) [11:44] How do people find 11.04? [11:45] Rating out of 10? [11:55] works fine [11:55] ah, he quit :P [14:13] Any idea on how I could reset a users Xubuntu session? [14:38] jrgifford: you can delete xfce session configuration [14:38] Wizard: where is that stored? [14:38] in ~/.cache/sessions [14:39] I'd like to reset this guys desktop without losing any data (like pidgin/empathy/chrome/ config etc) [14:39] ah, desktop [14:40] than look at ~/.config/xfce [14:44] Thanks Wizard and TheSheep! [14:45] ciao a tutti [14:45] ho un problema [14:45] cè qualcuno che m aiutaaa [14:46] !it [14:46] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [16:20] Hey, what is the proper way to disable the ability to have non-admin users shut down/restart a machine? [16:21] I saw some pages that talked about gconf editing the gnome-power-manager, but we are using the xfce4-power-manager [16:21] ...or would I be editing something else? [16:26] mm [16:26] i don't know [16:27] let me find out [16:27] Yeah, I am still googling as well.... [16:29] what would stop them from hitting the power button? [16:29] http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/03/20/disable-shutdown-for-normal-users/ << try this [16:29] seems like a pointless setting to me [16:30] (also disables the power button on some pc's) [16:46] Hm...how do I login to the cups admin page? [16:47] ah my user...gna...nvm :) [16:49] Есть которые по-русски понимают? [16:50] !ru | freed0m [16:50] freed0m: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [16:51] та ппц ребята. у меня вопрос по xubuntu а не ubuntu [16:52] Как правило, # Ubuntu-RU должны быть в состоянии помочь и с Ubuntu и Xubuntu. Это, к сожалению, только на английском языке канала. [16:53] hm... my printer stopped working and I don't know why :/ [16:53] check the cables? [16:53] Блин)) так ты же на чистом русском написал)))) товарищ)) а переводчик нам поможет? [16:53] out of paper, out of ink? [16:54] Я использую Google Translate для этого [16:54] hehe sadly no [16:54] cups is complaining about the cups/foo/backend/hp failing [16:55] There are some reports about this but I have yet to find a way to fix it that works. [16:55] Maybe it needs a restart? [16:55] Seems to be a generic error message. [16:55] I don't really know much about printers. [16:55] freed0m: I can try maybe. [16:56] Nobody does. Everybody hates printers and wants them to just work. :) [16:57] 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] Translation easy to understand? [16:57] not always - but we can try [16:58] o'key)) [16:58] Jesus, there is a fucking monkey in the hard disk slot drive noodles. [16:58] !language | cYmen [16:58] cYmen: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [16:59] Oh, come on. :) [16:59] no [16:59] keep it clean [16:59] So I can't say the f word? [17:00] or any other cuss word. You agreed to follow the guidelines when you log in to any #ubuntu/#xubuntu channel [17:00] !guidelines [17:00] The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [17:01] or any variation on those words, including a placeholder type word/character [17:02] How to configure your desktop so you can create links to the program (icon) as for example in Lubuntu / runtu / ubuntu? [17:03] freed0m: just right click on the desktop, add a launcher [17:03] freed0m: in Xubuntu 11.04, you can drag the icon from the menu to the desktop, too. === xGrind is now known as xGrind-00f [17:04] I lied to you [17:04] you can't drag it. [17:05] freed0m: the other way is to open Application Finder, and drag the application to the desktop [17:06]

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] I think you drag the icon from Application Finder, even in 10.10, but am not sure. [17:06] drag from xfce4-appfinder [17:08] Finder is available in ubuntu repositories? [17:09] should there by default [17:09] yes, it should already be installed in menu -> Accessories [17:09] uses the magnifying glass icon [17:11] No, I do not see this program in the settings [17:11] попробуйте установить его тогда. это называется xfce4-appfinder [17:12] I don't the translation for the Application Finder in the menu [17:12] Sorry. I found it))) but my questions are not over yet) I have still not tired? [17:13] You are doing fine. Let's keep trying to answer them. [17:13] Sysi: you write any Russian? [17:21] I removed the standard package of sound control Mixer. I downloaded a new (gnome). I put the sound icon in the system Trey? [17:22] I do not know how to do that. [17:23] ((( [17:23] freed0m: which new sound control? [17:23] yes, yes [17:24] which one did u install other than mixer? [17:24] I have three [17:25] I removed the mixer and set a new. [17:26] ok.. but what is the new one called [17:26] is it the pulse audio mixer [17:26] he said it was the gnome mixer [17:26] ok, those two actually link to the same thing [17:27] i just type mixer or pavucontrol [17:27] or gnome-mixer on cmd line [17:27] u can setup a connection from the control panel if you want, but i just go to CLI [17:27] (terminal) [17:27] what's the problem exactly? [17:28] wait please) i'm translate [17:31] The problem is how to control the mixer icon in the system tray [17:34] left-click it, I think [17:35] The question may seem ridiculous: What are the official system requirements in xubuntu? :) [17:36]

ok) [17:37] not ridiculous :-) 400MHz CPU, 192MB ram to install, works really slow. Better is 512MB ram, 550MHz CPU [17:37] Installing using the alternate cd requires 2.5GB hard drive [17:38] graphics card? [17:38] yes [17:38] parameters? [17:38] any graphics card should work. Some of the old cards fail, like the ATI Rage [17:39] We have no parameters for graphics cards. [17:39] freed0m: I have graphics cards from 1998 still working with Xubuntu, but they won't work for Ubuntu. [17:41] where can i get help on abiword? [17:41] :/ [17:41] for some reason it started to think for me and decided i dont whant to write what im writing [17:41] My system: Intel Celeron 2.00GHz (400mhz), 1.2GB RAM, Graphics Card NVIDIA 128MB frames, but for some reason the system freezes. [17:42] %) [17:42] it doesnt let me use " it chages it to « and then it turns ' and ` to " [17:43] oh there is a "smart quotes" thing [17:43] who in earth... [17:45] :/ [17:46] freed0m, how it frezees? when you open thunar? [17:48] At the opening of the Center Ubuntu Applications [17:48] CPU 100% [17:50] 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] GridCube: abiword help here or online docs [17:51] GridCube: http://www.abisource.com/help/en-US/index.html [17:51] all abiword help is now online. It opens in firefox, so if firefox is already open, help opens there. [17:52] thanks charlie-tca i found out what was the thing that was messing whit my writing, lets see if i can end this paper [18:00]

run $ sudo apt-get update? [18:00] freed0m: yes [18:00] thanks [18:00] and also sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [18:00] see if it helps [18:02] apt-get dist-upgrade I upgraded to version 11.04, but it is not good [18:03] 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 [18:04] 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] You need to use either apt-get dist-upgrade or the update-manager to get all the updates installed [18:07] Well. I listened to your advice. ) [18:08] 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. [18:09] Now I got to go walk the dog here. I will be back in a few minutes. [18:10] okey. Thanks you [18:29] good evening [18:30] good [18:30] of course it's good [18:31] )) [18:31] :D [18:31] good [18:36] freed0m: you're the one who was here earlier with nick eee?
