| knome | orngjce223, doing what right? | 01:46 |
| orngjce223 | Is the bug report written in anywhere near the right style? | 01:46 |
| knome | looks good to me | 01:47 |
| orngjce223 | k, cool | 01:47 |
| knome | have you tested that on later release than lucid? | 01:49 |
| orngjce223 | Not yet, I don't usually touch the non LTS releases as a matter of course | 01:53 |
| GridCube | i have a problem whit vlc, all the videos have a 0.4seconds of audio delay | 03:52 |
| GridCube | :/ | 03:52 |
| GridCube | besides that, is there a way to change the "save in" and other popup folder windows, like the ones you get when saving things from firefox to other file manager? | 03:56 |

| jbrown561 | hello | 07:40 |
| ball | Hello jbrown561 | 07:40 |
| jbrown561 | Looking for some help with a networking issue on xubuntu | 07:40 |
| ball | jbrown561: What sort of issue? | 07:41 |
| jbrown561 | I have xubuntu installed on a netbook. Networking has worked in the past (a month ago or so). I _think_ that it started having problems after an update about a month ago. Wondering what the problem might be. Also, wondering why the GUI network tools and the command line (/etc/networks/interfaces) don't seem to sync up. | 07:42 |
| jbrown561 | The current situation is that I can't connect to either wireless or wired via the GUI tools. If I turn off networking in the GUI tools and add the appropriate lines to interfaces then I can bring up wired networking (eth0). Can't get wirless (wlan0) to work either way. | 07:43 |
| jbrown561 | currently chatting from a win laptop so I can make any changes, reboot, etc. on the xubuntu box w/o any issues on the chat | 07:45 |
| ball | Does your wireless network adaptor show up in the output from "lspci" ? | 07:47 |
| jbrown561 | the adapter is there, it just wont connect from the gui (assuming you mean the wired connection) | 07:47 |
| ball | Why would you assume I mean the wired connection when I specified the wireless one? | 07:48 |
| jbrown561 | if I add the appropriate lines to /etc/network/interfaces (e.g. auto eth0 | iface eth0 inet dhcp) then it will come up with sudo ifup eth0 | 07:48 |
| jbrown561 | sorry, didn't read closely enough (skipped wireless and saw 'network adaptor') | 07:49 |
| ball | I'm not sufficiently familiar with Linux network configuration to know how to configure them from the command line. On a GUI-oriented distro like Xubuntu, I would worry that attempting a command-line configuration might cause cows to fall from the sky. | 07:49 |
| jbrown561 | I'd like to get it working on GUI again but as I said, GUI and CLI don't seem to be in sync w/ each other (e.g. ifdown eth0 doesn't see an interface even thought ifconfig shows it) | 07:52 |
| jbrown561 | lspci shows a couple of adapters but I can't tell for sure which might be the wifi adapter | 07:52 |
| jbrown561 | I see an RaLink RT2860 and a Atheros AR8121... PPCI-E Ethernet controller | 07:53 |
| ball | Atheros is probably your wireless LAN adaptor. | 07:54 |
| ball | Does Xubuntu offer you any binary drivers for it? | 07:54 |
| jbrown561 | Confirmed that the RaLink RT2860 is the wifi adaptor | 07:55 |
| jbrown561 | Well, I assume so since it WAS working a month ago and I haven't done anything other than the normal updates | 07:55 |
| ball | jbrown561: What version of Xubuntu are you trying to use? | 07:58 |
| jbrown561 | checking ... one of the linux annoyances is not being able to easily tell what you are running | 08:00 |
| Unit193 | lsb_release -rc | 08:00 |
| Unit193 | Type that into terminal | 08:00 |
| stephanmg | hey. is it possible to have different wallpapers on different desktops? | 08:01 |
| jbrown561 | 10.04.2 LTS (Lucid) | 08:01 |
| jbrown561 | @unit193 - I'll have to add that to my notes, thanks! | 08:02 |
| Unit193 | It's a great one ;) | 08:02 |
| jbrown561 | @stephanmg - I've never found a way to do it | 08:02 |
| stephanmg | :( | 08:02 |
| jbrown561 | @unit193: I always go hunting for /etc/issue and hope it is up to date | 08:03 |
| jbrown561 | what does lsb_release check? | 08:03 |
| jbrown561 | @ball - thoughts? | 08:04 |
| Unit193 | You can do lsb_release -a to get them all | 08:04 |
| stephanmg | jbrown561: wouldn't that be a nice feature? :) | 08:04 |
| jbrown561 | yes | 08:04 |
| ball | jbrown561: Have you tried 11.04 yet? I seem to have bad luck with the .iso images, but perhaps you'll be more successful. | 08:05 |
| ball | jbrown561: You have your data backed up already, right? | 08:05 |
| jbrown561 | I'd rather not upgrade the os. I'm on a netbook with SSD only in 2 partitions (4G = os, 16G = data). It was kind of a pain to get everything moved around to the point that it all works okay. | 08:06 |
| jbrown561 | I'm trying to figure out why it just stopped working all of a sudden. Everything was fine a month ago, now - no joy. | 08:06 |
| stephanmg | i'm not in the design of the WM but maybe someone can file some request (i don't know where) | 08:08 |
| jbrown561 | so, no thoughts on how to get GUI networking back to life? | 08:11 |
| mwagner_ | how do I delete the ~/Desktop folder? | 09:05 |
| vodecla | may someone help me with autologin in xubuntu 11.04 ? | 13:54 |
| charlie-tca | go to menu -> System -> Users and groups, select the user name, mark it to autologin | 14:00 |

| stephanmg | mh i installed wine and my fontcache got updated, now in firefox my fonts look a bit different | 16:40 |
| Sysi | change fonts in firefox settings if you liked it better earlier | 16:41 |
| Sysi | default is dejavu sans or droid sans afaik | 16:41 |
| stephanmg | Sysi: that behavior is strange? | 16:44 |
| Sysi | I've heard it happening before | 16:48 |
| stephanmg | remove wine | 16:49 |
| Sysi | I'm not on *buntu currently | 16:50 |
| stephanmg | i removed it, not it looks fine again | 16:51 |
| stephanmg | can i somehow use xbindkeys to send a command to gmplayer like "next song"? | 17:44 |
| GridCube | probably | 17:44 |
| GridCube | do man gmplayer to see if you can | 17:45 |

| frankcox777 | Hello all | 18:03 |
| orngjce223 | Hello | 18:03 |
| frankcox777 | could anyone tell me how to make the menu bar at the bottom of the Xubuntu 11.04 desktop stay always on top? | 18:04 |
| frankcox777 | hi orngjce223 | 18:04 |
| Sysi | you can set it to be always visible but afaik you can't set apps to go under it | 18:04 |
| Sysi | I'm not sure, check panel settings | 18:05 |
| frankcox777 | I tried but I am easily confused | 18:05 |
| orngjce223 | Right-click, Customize Panel, unselect the "autohide" checkbox? | 18:09 |
| stephanmg | GridCube: i meant gmusicplayer sorry | 18:10 |
| GridCube | oh | 18:11 |
| frankcox777 | thanks!!!!!!!!!!! | 18:11 |
| GridCube | the answer is the same, check its man page to see if it has command line orders | 18:11 |
| frankcox777 | thanks again -cya | 18:12 |
| stephanmg | GridCube, :) | 18:34 |
| roger_ | Hi All, Happy 4'th | 20:00 |
| roger_ | I need help with receiving email | 20:00 |
| roger_ | I've tried Evolution, Thunderbird, and 3 other email clients | 20:02 |
| roger_ | I've tried them on Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Kubuntu | 20:02 |
| roger_ | They all log into my POP3 account at my ISP service OK | 20:03 |
| roger_ | And when I try to get my email they get to the point of "Receiving 1 of XXX" and just hang there | 20:05 |
| roger_ | I can send email but not receive it | 20:07 |
| elros | does this occur with sylpheed? | 20:14 |
| charlie-tca | Are you sure it is not an imap account? | 20:15 |
| roger_ | Yes, I tried Sylpheed, still hangs at same point | 20:18 |
| roger_ | I've set the same account up in OSX and Outlook Express and Outlook successfully | 20:18 |
| roger_ | Yep, it's a POP3 account | 20:19 |
| roger_ | Thanks for replying ! | 20:19 |
| roger_ | Thunderbird currently says "Downloading message 1 of 687" | 20:21 |
| roger_ | I can go to the http website of my ISP mail account and yep, there's 687 messages there | 20:22 |
| roger_ | On every Ubuntu OS I can telnet into my account through terminal and successfully access, download, list the messages | 20:23 |
| roger_ | But all mail clients hang at "Receiving message 1 of 687" or "Downloading message 1 of 587" and just stall there till connection times out | 20:25 |
| charlie-tca | check preferences, turn off ssl | 20:30 |
| charlie-tca | That hangs my accounts | 20:31 |
| roger_ | Thanks for the tip....... my ISP requires no security | 20:31 |
| roger_ | Do some ISP's provide both POP3 and IMAP access? | 20:31 |
| roger_ | It's worked as POP3 in OSX and Outlook Express and Outlook but maybe I'll try configuring for IMAP | 20:33 |
| roger_ | I'll return with results | 20:34 |
| charlie-tca | yes, many isp's provide both pop3 and imap | 20:39 |
| KM0201 | i'm surrpised ISP's still offer email accounts, w/ with so many people using gmail, aol, yahoo, etc. | 20:40 |
| Sysi | commercial is commercial | 20:42 |
| roger_ | Unbelievable.......... IMAP is working, sort of.... at least I got 40 of the messages.......... this is encouraging! | 20:42 |
| roger_ | HAH, Xubuntu Rocks! | 20:42 |
| roger_ | This all started a week ago when I decided to change ALL my boxes to Linux distro's | 20:43 |
| roger_ | goodbye Microsoft........ well, except my laptop, need it for customer's crap | 20:44 |
| roger_ | Yo Charlie, thanks for helping me think outside the box | 20:54 |
| roger_ | What is your favorite email client? | 20:54 |
| charlie-tca | I use claws-mail | 20:54 |
| charlie-tca | but that is only because some months/years back, thunderbird wouldn't do what I needed | 20:55 |
| roger_ | I think I'm going back to Evolution now that I seem to have a handle on my email config | 20:57 |
| charlie-tca | I think I must hate change | 20:57 |
| roger_ | it had calendar and contacts | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca | I wouldn't. I would use thunderbird instead | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca | it has contacts, and a calendar plugin that works great | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca | evolution is too resource hungry | 20:58 |
| roger_ | that's sound advice, after all seems to be working now | 20:59 |
| charlie-tca | If you need to interface to microsoft exchange, then, yes, evolution does allow that. Otherwise, Thunderbird does everything evolution does, and it less resource intensive | 21:00 |
| roger_ | ah, I like less resource intensive | 21:00 |
| roger_ | I'm changing over all my boxes and the slightly older ones aren't all that | 21:01 |
| charlie-tca | Take a look at lightening, I think it is, the Thunderbird calendar extension | 21:02 |
| charlie-tca | !info lightning | 21:02 |
| ubottu | lightning (source: lightning): library for assembly code compilation at runtime. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2-8 (natty), package size 101 kB, installed size 512 kB (Only available for hurd-i386 i386 kfreebsd-i386 powerpc sparc) | 21:02 |
| roger_ | thanks, was just looking for the add-on | 21:02 |
| charlie-tca | that's not it | 21:02 |
| charlie-tca | I will go find it | 21:03 |
| charlie-tca | !info lighting | 21:04 |
| ubottu | Package lighting does not exist in natty | 21:04 |
