housiemousie2Which one?00:00
Artemis3see any suspicious kdeish one? or gnomeish? :)00:00
housiemousie2lol Aren't they all suspicious?00:00
housiemousie2kded400:01
Artemis3i think xfdesktop and xfwm4 are trusted00:01
Artemis3and that whole bunch beginning with "xfce4-"00:02
housiemousie2If I blip... we'll know I touched it where it didn't like to be touched.00:03
Artemis3the others are easy to recognize, thunar, nm-applet, etc.00:04
Artemis3umm you should not kill the irc client :300:04
Artemis3just kill your user process, not root, etc.00:05
zacariasany experience with awn dock?00:05
housiemousie2gconfd-2, gconf-helper, a few kdeinit4's, knotify400:06
Artemis3do you have gajim installed? desktop might need refreshing00:08
housiemousie2Not installed00:09
housiemousie2Tried it back in Hardy, Zacarias... doubt I could help.00:10
zacariashousimousie2: thanks. I'm trying it, but adding a launcher doesn't work very well00:14
housiemousie2Nope.  Killed KDE and Gnome user processes.00:17
housiemousie2Is there a .xfce file in /home that I am just missing? lol00:17
housiemousie2The fact that it works in a guest session makes me think it is a user config that has gone bad.00:20
housiemousie2Thanks for the help, I am going to go poke it with a stick and see if it wiggles00:23
housiemousie2Stupid question... where are the xfce user settings stored?00:27
housiemousie2Can someone look at their ~/.config/xfce4/xconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-desktop.xml and tell me what your setting for <property name="desktop-menu" type="empty"> is?00:42
babblehousiemousie2: 1 min00:43
housiemousie2Thanks00:43
babblehousiemousie2: I'm running a stock Xubuntu install - I don't see either that property OR key00:45
babblesec, I'll paste my whole file.00:45
housiemousie2Hmm, okay.00:46
babblehere's my whole file: http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/BYYilf82Pa00:47
housiemousie2Strange.  Thank you, babble00:48
babblehousiemousie2: it's no problem. Sorry I couldn't be more help00:49
housiemousie2No worries.  I'll get it sorted... eventually.  :)00:50
housiemousie2I'll have Dad do a side by side with a guest session to look for differences.00:51
housiemousie2Cheers!00:51
babbleI wonder if it's an Xfce session key, instead of a Xubuntu session key?00:51
housiemousie2No idea, but I will find out.00:52
vhdHi there, could someone kindly pm the all the default usergroups your root user has after install? I have mistakenly used usermod and wiped my user group info.02:26
vhderr in other words if you could please paste me what you have for your main user account in /etc/group that would really help me.02:30
vhdthis should be safe and not anything crafty.02:31
vhdhttp://ccollins.wordpress.com/2007/07/02/restore-default-ubuntu-groups/02:31
vhdthe above is my problem, but he has usergroups for ubuntu and im not sure if they are the same for xubuntu02:31
dpyroHi! How can I set up full-disk encryption when installing Xubuntu?02:32
jandruskYou probably would need to use the alternate installer to do LVM encryption.02:32
jandruskYou would just need to specify a password upon boot-up.02:34
jandruskI'm assuming you want this in case of theft of the device?02:35
dpyroYes, exactly02:40
dpyroI true-crypted my windows desktop and I'm trying to do something similar for this netbook02:40
jandruskI think the LVM would be the way to go. Could also use TrueCrypt on Xubuntu for sensitive files and such.02:43
dpyrois there anyway to do it on-the-fly?02:46
dpyroor do I need to set it all up during the install?02:46
jandruskI'm assuming you mean post-install. Your best bet would be to backup your data and to reinstall using the alternate ISO.02:48
jandruskAnd choosing LVM encryption.02:49
Unknown53136hey jandrusk, any..02:52
Unknown53136bah02:52
Unknown53136hey dpyro, just out of curiosity, what netbook did you get?02:53
dpyroUnknown53136: a hp mini with dual core atom thingy02:54
dpyroi don't remember the actual model number02:54
Unknown53136ooh02:54
dpyroits not printed externally02:54
dpyroand i got it for free02:54
Unknown53136nice02:54
Unknown53136they start at $28002:57
Unknown53136you got a good deal ;D02:57
dpyro:D03:02
dpyrowell $0 is always a good deal03:02
dpyro:P03:02
Unknown53136hehe03:02

malphasHi, anyone have experience with the ath9k wireless driver and wpa_supplicant? Trying desperately to save my install08:16
malphasor even disabling gdm in single user mode08:20
malphasps aux08:21
Sysimalphas: please describe your problem with some details and see if someone has an ansver08:35
malphasbah. I'm running xubuntu. Something went terribly awry during an upgrade. I am trying desperately to fix this install; currently the keyboard and mouse stop functioning as soon as X loads.08:36
malphas-bah.08:36
Sysiwhat graphics card/driver?08:37
malphasi attemptedd to disable gfm from loading at boot while in single user mode, but it still loads even after renaming the binary. I am still in single user mode, and am also unable to associate to an ap using wpa_supplicant08:38
malphasit's not a graphics issue, the rest of the machine functions fine, just not the keyboard or mouse08:38
malphasI'm fairly certain that part relates to the upgrade, i just need to get the thing connected to fix the dependancy issues08:39
Sysiso nothing happens but it works fine? sounds really much like xorg problem to me, therefore graphics problem08:39
Sysirenaming binaries is really stupid08:40
Sysifirst try with "xforcevesa" as boot option08:40
Sysiwithout quotes08:40
malphasyeah, it was a last ditch effort. also, xorg can also have problems loading the keyboard/mouse driver, while having nothing at all wrong with the video driver.08:40
malphasReally, I just want to ditch gdm.08:41
malphasI can start x from the console when I need it.08:41
Sysihow do you tell it has no problems loading graphics driver if you can't use mouse or keyboard?08:41
malphasthe init script points to the upstart script08:41
malphasI can ping it and access apache runnning ps aux08:41
malphasrunning on it.08:42
Sysithat has nothing to do with xorg08:42
Sysiit works if you start it with startx?08:42
malphasThe display isn't locking up. gdm loads fine, and I see updates from the notifier08:42
malphasfor things like plugging in the ac power.08:42
Sysinow this got interesting08:43
Sysi..I need to go to meal before physics exam ->08:44
malphasstartx loads the display fine, still no mouse/keyboard08:44

puffAt some point before I upgraded to 11.10/xubuntu-desktop, I must have set up a podcast tool, because now I occasionally see notifications about stuff being downloaded.  But I have no idea what's doing the downloading or where they're being put.17:31
puffAh, it's rhythmbox. Hm.17:33

CaptainKnotsanyone here running xubuntu 11.10 on a netbook? I'm debating between that and kubuntu 11.10 with the light setting20:45
Sysixubuntu is simpler, you probably get better battery life easier20:46
CaptainKnotsI've used xfce before, but only on arch20:46
Sysido you really need kde's features on netbook?20:46
Mp5shooterIt looks really nice on xubuntu20:46
CaptainKnotsSysi: how is integrated vpn support in xubuntu?20:47
Sysivpn should be simple with networkmanager by default20:48
Mp5shooterI want to find a cheap netbook that I can put xubuntu on :P20:49
CaptainKnotsI have a HP mini 1135NR20:49
Mp5shooter4 used from $140.00 on amazon20:50
Mp5shooternot bad20:50
CaptainKnotspeople in #kubuntu are telling me to go with that and low-fat, and here I'm hearing xubuntu20:50
CaptainKnotsmaybe I'll try both and see which I like better20:50
Mp5shooterlol20:50
CaptainKnotsright now it's running fedora 16 with lxde20:50
Sysithat's only way to get *your* opinion20:50
Sysifedora's kde packaging is lousy isn't it? though xfce is great on it20:51
genii-aroundMp5shooter: I got an Acer One for about $180 on sale ( Canadian ) at BestBuy a while ago and it runs nice ( 64 bit as well )20:51
Mp5shooteroh nice20:51
CaptainKnotsI stopped using ubuntu after hoary, and when I saw how nice and stable kubuntu 11.10 was I installed it on my desktop20:51
CaptainKnotsI stayed away from anything ubuntu for years20:51
CaptainKnotsSysi: I never tried KDE on fedora20:52
CaptainKnotsonly lxde and openbox20:52
CaptainKnotsdoes xubuntu 11.10 have support for full disk encryption?20:53
Mp5shooteryes20:54
CaptainKnotsI love my encrypted LVM setup in fedora20:54
SysiI think you can create encrypted LVM with alternate-install disk20:54
Mp5shooterI think you need to use the alternate iso to install it if you want it20:54
genii-aroundMp5shooter: Similar to this one: http://www.aceroutlet.ca/products/-Acer-Aspire-One-Purple-%252d-New-Open-Box-or-Factory-Refurbished-Full-1-Year-Warranty-from-Acer..html20:54
Mp5shooterah nioce20:55

SysiI had asus 1005ha for a year, then I fed up and got macbook, now I'm thinking of installing linux on this (outside virtualbox)20:55
CaptainKnotswhat's the default torrent client in xubuntu? please don't say transmission20:56
Sysithat's it, you can install something else if you want20:56
CaptainKnotsI've grown to like ktorrent for some reason20:57
CaptainKnotsI usually use deluge20:57
* Mp5shooter thinks he saw transmission20:57
CaptainKnotstransmission is *too* simple for me20:57
genii-aroundThe 1005HA  is what I got my gf coupla-few years ago, she still uses it with 10.0420:57
SysiI like transmission, simple and does the job20:58
SysiI have that asus to my sister, she has win7 on it, I could try xubuntu to her if she's not using it for ms-office20:58
CaptainKnotsalmost switched my auntu to linux but her lexmark x1290 is a POS and won't work in it20:59
CaptainKnotsas soon as I give her my HP all in one she's getting kubuntu20:59
CaptainKnotsaunt*20:59
Sysimy parents run xubuntu LTS happily21:01
Sysithough I'd need to fix user-switching issue21:03
Space-DuckHow can I enable mod_rewrite in xubuntu? I've already change allow_override all  but I still get a 404.21:06
CaptainKnotsxubuntu copying to usb drive now :)21:17
genii-aroundSpace-Duck: You're trying to get URLS like http://somewhere/~username/     ?21:18
Space-Duckgenii-around, yes http://localhost/web/dev/wordpress/page-one/21:24
genii-aroundFor that url to work the user called web would have to have a public_html dir containing the dev/wordpress/page-one structure. Then you would also need to put the tilde before their name21:26
genii-around( IIRC)21:27
Space-Duckhuh?21:29
Space-DuckI have symlink from ~/web/  to  /var/www/21:30
Space-DuckDoes that count?21:30
CaptainKnotsthis is exciting21:47
