[01:18] <orngjce223> Okay, this isn't really a question, but am I doing this right? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfswitch-plugin/+bug/802750
[01:46] <knome> orngjce223, doing what right?
[01:46] <orngjce223> Is the bug report written in anywhere near the right style?
[01:47] <knome> looks good to me
[01:47] <orngjce223> k, cool
[01:49] <knome> have you tested that on later release than lucid?
[01:53] <orngjce223> Not yet, I don't usually touch the non LTS releases as a matter of course
[03:52] <GridCube> i have a problem whit vlc, all the videos have a 0.4seconds of audio delay
[03:52] <GridCube> :/
[03:56] <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?

[07:40] <jbrown561> hello
[07:40] <ball> Hello jbrown561
[07:40] <jbrown561> Looking for some help with a networking issue on xubuntu
[07:41] <ball> jbrown561: What sort of issue?
[07:42] <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.
[07:43] <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.
[07:45] <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
[07:47] <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)
[07:48] <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
[07:49] <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.
[07:52] <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
[07:53] <jbrown561> I see an RaLink RT2860 and a Atheros AR8121... PPCI-E Ethernet controller
[07:54] <ball> Atheros is probably your wireless LAN adaptor.
[07:54] <ball> Does Xubuntu offer you any binary drivers for it?
[07:55] <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
[07:58] <ball> jbrown561: What version of Xubuntu are you trying to use?
[08:00] <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
[08:01] <stephanmg> hey. is it possible to have different wallpapers on different desktops?
[08:01] <jbrown561> 10.04.2 LTS (Lucid)
[08:02] <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> :(
[08:03] <jbrown561> @unit193: I always go hunting for /etc/issue and hope it is up to date
[08:03] <jbrown561> what does lsb_release check?
[08:04] <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
[08:05] <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?
[08:06] <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.
[08:08] <stephanmg> i'm not in the design of the WM but maybe someone can file some request (i don't know where)
[08:11] <jbrown561> so, no thoughts on how to get GUI networking back to life?
[09:05] <mwagner_> how do I delete the ~/Desktop folder?
[13:54] <vodecla> may someone help me with autologin in xubuntu 11.04 ?
[14:00] <charlie-tca> go to menu -> System -> Users and groups, select the user name, mark it to autologin
[16:40] <stephanmg> mh i installed wine and my fontcache got updated, now in firefox my fonts look a bit different
[16:41] <Sysi> change fonts in firefox settings if you liked it better earlier
[16:41] <Sysi> default is dejavu sans or droid sans afaik
[16:44] <stephanmg> Sysi: that behavior is strange?
[16:48] <Sysi> I've heard it happening before
[16:49] <stephanmg> remove wine
[16:50] <Sysi> I'm not on *buntu currently
[16:51] <stephanmg> i removed it, not it looks fine again
[17:44] <stephanmg> can i somehow use xbindkeys to send a command to gmplayer like "next  song"?
[17:44] <GridCube> probably
[17:45] <GridCube> do man gmplayer to see if you can
[17:54] <GridCube> stephanmg, http://tivo-mplayer.sourceforge.net/docs/mplayer-man.html#sect12
[17:54] <GridCube> :)
[18:03] <frankcox777> Hello all
[18:03] <orngjce223> Hello
[18:04] <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
[18:05] <Sysi> I'm not sure, check panel settings
[18:05] <frankcox777> I tried but I am easily confused
[18:09] <orngjce223> Right-click, Customize Panel, unselect the "autohide" checkbox?
[18:10] <stephanmg> GridCube: i meant gmusicplayer sorry
[18:11] <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
[18:12] <frankcox777> thanks again -cya
[18:34] <stephanmg> GridCube, :)
[20:00] <roger_> Hi All, Happy 4'th
[20:00] <roger_> I need help with receiving email
[20:02] <roger_> I've tried Evolution, Thunderbird, and 3 other email clients
[20:02] <roger_> I've tried them on Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Kubuntu
[20:03] <roger_> They all log into my POP3 account at my ISP service OK
[20:05] <roger_> And when I try to get my email they get to the point of "Receiving 1 of XXX" and just hang there
[20:07] <roger_> I can send email but not receive it
[20:14] <elros> does this occur with sylpheed?
[20:15] <charlie-tca> Are you sure it is not an imap account?
[20:18] <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
[20:19] <roger_> Yep, it's a POP3 account
[20:19] <roger_> Thanks for replying !
[20:21] <roger_> Thunderbird currently says "Downloading message 1 of 687"
[20:22] <roger_> I can go to the http website of my ISP mail account and yep, there's 687 messages there
[20:23] <roger_> On every Ubuntu OS I can telnet into my account through terminal and successfully access, download, list the messages
[20:25] <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
[20:30] <charlie-tca> check preferences, turn off ssl
[20:31] <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?
[20:33] <roger_> It's worked as POP3 in OSX and Outlook Express and Outlook but maybe I'll try configuring for IMAP
[20:34] <roger_> I'll return with results
[20:39] <charlie-tca> yes, many isp's provide both pop3 and imap
[20:40] <KM0201> i'm surrpised ISP's still offer email accounts, w/ with so many people using gmail, aol, yahoo, etc.
[20:42] <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!
[20:43] <roger_> This all started a week ago when I decided to change ALL my boxes to Linux distro's
[20:44] <roger_> goodbye Microsoft........ well, except my laptop, need it for customer's crap
[20:54] <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
[20:55] <charlie-tca> but that is only because some months/years back, thunderbird wouldn't do what I needed
[20:57] <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
[20:58] <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
[20:59] <roger_> that's sound advice, after all seems to be working now
[21:00] <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
[21:01] <roger_> I'm changing over all my boxes and the slightly older ones aren't all that
[21:02] <charlie-tca> Take a look at lightening, I think it is, the Thunderbird calendar extension
[21:02] <charlie-tca> !info lightning
[21:02] <roger_> thanks, was just looking for the add-on
[21:02] <charlie-tca> that's not it
[21:03] <charlie-tca> I will go find it
[21:04] <charlie-tca> !info lighting
[21:04] <platius> !info lightning
[21:04] <platius> weird
[21:06] <charlie-tca> Only thing I can find is "xul-ext-lightning"
[21:06] <charlie-tca> !info xul-ext-lightning
[21:21] <roger_> got it, installing now
[21:24] <roger_> WOW, Calendar looks great in Thunderbird
[21:33] <roger_> Later people,     Charlie,  thanks!
