[03:57] <Andantino> and the cube will switch screens but every screen is the same with the same tabs open
[08:12] <Wizard> hi
[08:12] <Wizard> what happened with places menu in natty?
[08:49] <eee> hello everyone. Does anybody know how to set firewall up?
[08:55] <eee> I'm newbie in irc. can anybody answer me: can you see my posts? is this correct channel?
[08:56] <Unit193> eee: This is the correct channel
[08:57] <eee> is firewall for xubuntu really necessary ?
[08:57] <Unit193> eee: You may want to look at gufw since it's a gui
[08:58] <Unit193> !firewall | eee
[09:03] <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
[09:10] <Unit193> You could use firestarter... But you can look at some info about gufw in synaptic
[09:13] <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
[09:14] <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?
[09:18] <eee> i prefer something like Comodo fw. i dont like any application starting or sharing resources without permission
[09:19] <Wizard> sorry, i haven't used windows for ages, i don't know comodo, what does it do?
[09:20] <eee> i got message from Pidgin. and i guess its already runing , but i dont allowed anything like that
[09:22] <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
[09:23] <Wizard> i'm never gonna understand windows..
[09:24] <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))
[09:25] <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?
[09:26] <Wizard> no
[09:26] <Wizard> xubuntu starts no network tools by defautl, iirc
[09:27] <eee> ok . let me see.
[09:28] <Wizard> maybe you started it once and forgot about it.. xubuntu saves session by default
[09:28] <Wizard> (this is another nightmares causing behaviour)
[09:30] <eee> its my 3rd session, and i dont think i did started it before, but anyway i found it suspicious.
[09:35] <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? )))
[09:44] <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?
[09:51] <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   )))
[09:53] <Unit193> Menu > System > Synaptic Package Manager
[09:54] <eee> ok
[09:54] <eee> and then?
[09:54] <Unit193> There should be a search button
[09:55] <Sysi> basically firewall is quite useless, you anyway don't have anything listening those closed ports, open ones need to be open anyway
[09:56] <Wizard> eee: there were some malicious scripts hidden in packages with screensaver on gnome-look.org
[09:56] <eee> ok .ty
[09:57] <Wizard> basic security hint is to use only official repositories, keep away from ppa and don't install any debs downloaded directly
[09:58] <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
[09:59] <eee> LTS? how can i install it. Speak Russian?
[09:59] <Wizard> a bit
[10:00] <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
[10:01] <cYmen> (It maps caps-lock to control.)
[10:01] <Sysi> !lts
[10:01] <Wizard> cYmen: setxkbmap -option nocaps <your_layout_here>
[10:02] <eee> ty all
[10:02] <Wizard> cYmen: unfortunately xfce does not have neat xkb options editor (like gnome or kde)
[10:03] <cYmen> mkay...so where do I autoload that?
[10:03] <Sysi> settings -> sessions and startup should work
[10:03] <Wizard> yup
[10:05] <Wizard> cYmen: first try it in terminal, if it works
[10:07]  * cYmen reboots.
[10:08] <Wizard> does anybody use xubuntu with touchscreen device?
[10:10] <cYmen> Wizard: Seems to work fine. Thanks!
[10:10] <Wizard> your welcome
[10:10] <Wizard> cYmen: you didn't have to reboot, btw
[10:11] <Sysi> for testing it he did
[10:12] <Wizard> eee: if it comes about my russian skills - i've been learning it for 1,5 year
[10:14] <eee> anybody knows how to make youtube play videos?
[10:14] <Wizard> sure
[10:14] <Wizard> it says flash is not installed?
[10:15] <Wizard> look for flashplugin in synaptic
[10:16] <eee> ok. let me see.
[10:17] <eee> what is a best package?
[10:18] <Wizard> flashplugin-installer
[10:18] <Wizard> it does everyting for you
[10:20] <cYmen> How can I add shortcuts to network shares to the file manager?
[10:20] <cYmen> Like network drives in windows..
[10:23] <cYmen> ugh I'll just use the shell
[10:23] <cYmen> gui-schmui :p
[10:23] <Wizard> lol
[10:31] <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?
[10:34] <Sysi> update package list, if your system is up-to-date
[10:37] <Wizard> o_O
[10:37] <Wizard> synaptics also has 'fix broken' somewhere
[10:38] <Sysi> my guess still is outdated package database
[10:38] <Wizard> me too
[10:38] <eee> update helped. ty
[10:45] <eee> still black screen on youtube, do i need to restart to apply changes?
[10:46] <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?
[10:47] <eee> let me see. min
[10:49] <eee> how can i find out about gnash?
[10:49] <Sysi> synaptic, or see what plugin you have on firefox
[10:53] <eee> gnash is not installed. where i can find out  about firefox plugins? ( i know its too noobish(((
[10:54] <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?
[10:55]  * Wizard 
[10:56] <visitor1> under firefox it crashes and under opera it uses almost 100% cpu
[10:57] <Sysi> what graphics card/drivers, 32 or 64bit?
[10:57] <Sysi> what cpu, fullscreen or always?
[10:58] <visitor1> the nvdidia drivers 32 bit, pentium 6300
[10:58] <visitor1> always
[10:59] <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
[11:00] <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
[11:16] <Wizard> what is light spark?
[11:16] <Wizard> btw, flash should die a painfull death ;)
[11:44] <Belserusk> How do people find 11.04?
[11:45] <Belserusk> Rating out of 10?
[11:55] <Wizard> works fine
[11:55] <Wizard> ah, he quit :P
[14:13] <jrgifford> Any idea on how I could reset a users Xubuntu session?
[14:38] <Wizard> jrgifford: you can delete xfce session configuration
[14:38] <jrgifford> Wizard: where is that stored?
[14:38] <TheSheep> in ~/.cache/sessions
[14:39] <jrgifford> I'd like to reset this guys desktop without losing any data (like pidgin/empathy/chrome/ config etc)
[14:39] <Wizard> ah, desktop
[14:40] <Wizard> than look at ~/.config/xfce
[14:44] <jrgifford> Thanks Wizard and TheSheep!
[14:45] <xubuntu258> ciao a tutti
[14:45] <xubuntu258> ho un problema
[14:45] <xubuntu258> cè qualcuno che m aiutaaa
[14:46] <Sysi> !it
[16:20] <Pres-Gas> Hey, what is the proper way to disable the ability to have non-admin users shut down/restart a machine?
[16:21] <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?
[16:26] <GridCube> mm
[16:26] <GridCube> i don't know
[16:27] <GridCube> let me find out
[16:27] <Pres-Gas> Yeah, I am still googling as well....
[16:29] <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
[16:30] <ablomen> (also disables the power button on some pc's)
[16:46] <cYmen> Hm...how do I login to the cups admin page?
[16:47] <cYmen> ah my user...gna...nvm :)
[16:49] <freed0m> Есть которые по-русски понимают?
[16:50] <charlie-tca> !ru | freed0m
[16:51] <freed0m> та ппц ребята. у меня вопрос по xubuntu а не ubuntu
[16:52] <charlie-tca> Как правило, # Ubuntu-RU должны быть в состоянии помочь и с Ubuntu и Xubuntu. Это, к сожалению, только на английском языке канала.
[16:53] <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?
[16:54] <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
[16:55] <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.
[16:56] <cYmen> Nobody does. Everybody hates printers and wants them to just work. :)
[16:57] <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
[16:58] <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
[16:59] <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?
[17:00] <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
[17:01] <charlie-tca> or any variation on those words, including a placeholder type word/character
[17:02] <freed0m> How to configure your desktop so you can create links to the program (icon) as for example in Lubuntu / runtu / ubuntu?
[17:03] <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.
[17:04] <charlie-tca> I lied to you
[17:04] <charlie-tca> you can't drag it.
[17:05] <charlie-tca> freed0m: the other way is to open Application Finder, and drag the application to the desktop
 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
[17:08] <freed0m> Finder is available in ubuntu repositories?
[17:09] <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
[17:11] <freed0m> No, I do not see this program in the settings
[17:11] <charlie-tca> попробуйте установить его тогда. это называется xfce4-appfinder
[17:12] <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?
[17:13] <charlie-tca> You are doing fine. Let's keep trying to answer them.
[17:13] <charlie-tca> Sysi: you write any Russian?
[17:21] <freed0m> I removed the standard package of sound control Mixer. I downloaded a new (gnome). I put the sound icon in the system Trey?
[17:22] <charlie-tca> I do not know how to do that.
[17:23] <freed0m> (((
[17:23] <dr4c4n> freed0m: which new sound control?
[17:23] <freed0m> yes, yes
[17:24] <dr4c4n> which one did u install other than mixer?
[17:24] <dr4c4n> I have three
[17:25] <freed0m> I removed the mixer and set a new.
[17:26] <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
[17:27] <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?
[17:28] <freed0m> wait please) i'm translate
[17:31] <freed0m> The problem is how to control the mixer icon in the system tray
[17:34] <charlie-tca> left-click it, I think
[17:35] <freed0m> The question may seem ridiculous: What are the official system requirements in xubuntu? :)
ok)
[17:37] <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
[17:38] <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
[17:39] <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.
[17:41] <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.
[17:42] <freed0m> %)
[17:42] <GridCube> it doesnt let me use " it chages it to « and then it turns ' and ` to "
[17:43] <GridCube> oh there is a "smart quotes" thing
[17:43] <GridCube> who in earth...
[17:45] <freed0m> :/
[17:46] <GridCube> freed0m, how it frezees? when you open thunar?
[17:48] <freed0m> At the opening of the Center Ubuntu Applications
[17:48] <freed0m> CPU 100%
[17:50] <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
[17:51] <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.
[17:52] <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
 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
[18:02] <freed0m> apt-get dist-upgrade I upgraded to version 11.04, but it is not good
[18:03] <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
[18:04] <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
[18:07] <freed0m> Well. I listened to your advice. )
[18:08] <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.
[18:09] <charlie-tca> Now I got to go walk the dog here. I will be back in a few minutes.
[18:10] <freed0m> okey. Thanks you
[18:29] <Wizard> good evening
[18:30] <freed0m> good
[18:30] <Wizard> of course it's good
[18:31] <freed0m> ))
[18:31] <GridCube> :D
[18:31] <GridCube> good
[18:36] <Wizard> freed0m: you're the one who was here earlier with nick eee?
