[01:55] <Pupuser> hi
[01:58] <Pupuser> I want to use a screen resolution of 640x480, but the minimum resolution I get is 800x600
[02:14] <go8765> Pupuser: try in terminal xrandr -s 600x480
[02:40] <dbaybay__> Anyone know how to adjust the processor state in Xubuntu?
[03:17] <CrownWheel> Hey, xubuntu-ites.  How can I tell which wireless driver is loaded right now, under 11.10?
[03:19] <CrownWheel> Is looking at the output of "cat /proc/modules" the best bet?
[03:22] <CrownWheel> Also: if a module is loaded, is it necesarily effective and in use?  Or do modules get loaded speculatively or by default?
[03:24] <ubuntu_> hi again
[03:24] <ubuntu_> I would like to change my name
[03:25] <ubuntu_> (I'm puppyuser)anyways, I tried xrandr -s 640x480 but I got an error...
[03:25] <ubuntu_> 'Size 640x480 not found in available modes'
[04:01] <uofm49426> anyone run compiz in xubuntu what do i need to do to show a tittle bar
[05:35] <Yggdrasil_> whats up
[05:35] <Yggdrasil_> just installed xubunt on my eee pc
[08:02] <CharlesM> Is it safe to remove the xubuntu live cd while the system is running? Say to access files on another CD briefly?
[08:05] <Sysi> CharlesM: safe as in nothing breaks, but it's probably gonna crash
[08:05] <CharlesM> Ouch, okay ;)
[08:08] <Sysi> I'm not 100% sure but it's to be expected
[08:09] <CharlesM> Not worth the risk then. I was thinking if everything got loaded into RAM it may not be a problem, but it isn't that important.
[08:34] <Cybertinus> It looks more and more like it that I'm gonna switch to Xubuntu
[08:34] <Cybertinus> just installed kubuntu-desktop
[08:35] <Cybertinus> I really don't like that. It's like "KDE meets Unity". And I don't like Unity.
[08:35] <cc_INC> Good switch :)
[08:35] <_Pete_> indeed
[08:35] <cc_INC> I hope the flavor appeals to you :)
[08:35] <Sysi> gnome-shell is quite nice and simple, though I like KDE very much, after some setting up
[08:36] <cc_INC> For some reason I don't get along with KDE.
[08:36] <Cybertinus> I'm still gonna look to the default KDE install Ubuntu also has in it's repo's
[08:36] <cc_INC> Don't know why, it's just a feeling I get.
[08:37] <cc_INC> In fact I'd pick Gnome over KDE any day of the week
[08:37] <Cybertinus> ah yes, I understand that cc_INC. Just had it (having it actually, waiting for the normal KDE install) ;)
[08:37] <Cybertinus> I'm more of a KDE person myself. Using it for years
[08:37] <_Pete_> I used to use kubuntu when it still was 3.5.x
[08:37] <_Pete_> but that force swithc to 4.x was really stupid move in ubuntu
[08:38] <cc_INC> I've used KDE 3 years ago with openSUSE
[08:38] <Cybertinus> I'm using KDE 4.x since 4.2. The versions before that weren't usuable
[08:38] <Sysi> kde never really felt stable before 4.7 for me
[08:38] <_Pete_> this is intresting project http://www.trinitydesktop.org/
[08:39] <cc_INC> openSUSE was my introduction to Linux. But after trying out some different stuff KDE felt a bit too static for my taste
[08:39] <_Pete_> seems to be currently little unstable for real use
[08:39] <cc_INC> Oh yeah Trinity, I read about that. Any of you tried it out?
[08:39] <_Pete_> I did
[08:39] <Cybertinus> ok cc_INC. My introduction to Linux was Redhat 8. It had KDE 3.3 or 3.4 in it :)
[08:40] <Sysi> I started with xfce.. and then when I tried gnome it was missing stuff I liked in xfce
[08:40] <cc_INC> Redhat, is it everything they claim it is? :)
[08:40] <cc_INC> The past two years I used Crunchbang Linux with Openbox
[08:41] <cc_INC> I love the clean, slick, minimalistic look and feel of openbox.
[08:41] <Cybertinus> I'm using CentOS (and sometimes RHEL) on servers at my work. I don't think it is a bad distro. It also is pretty stable
[08:41] <cc_INC> Actually Crunchbang is a very very nice distro. Going under the hood to get stuff done helped me learn a lot.
[08:42] <Cybertinus> if a server chrashes, it was because it was using more RAM then it got. Or the hardware is really old (yes, some servers I maintain are 10 years old, or older...)
[08:42] <cc_INC> Unfortunately I was lacking time to fiddle with it, so I switched to Xubuntu. Mostly because Crunchbang also had an Xfce flavor and I liked that too so the choice was simple
[08:42] <Cybertinus> but not because of a kernel-bug or something
[08:43] <cc_INC> 10 years?!?!? Wow
[08:43] <Cybertinus> yeah
[08:43] <Cybertinus> last month I removed the loading of USB in the startup procedure of some old dual Pentium 3 with Debian 3.0 on it
[08:43] <Cybertinus> because the motherboard is failing and now the USB-controller is gone :p
[08:43] <cc_INC> I'm a regular user. Wanted to study to become an administrator. Got the books and everything, but lack of time is a b...
[08:44] <cc_INC> So basically you got a system with no USB?
[08:44] <Cybertinus> indeed
[08:44] <cc_INC> Haha, sick!
[08:44] <Cybertinus> but it is an old dual P3, so it still has an PS/2 connector for a keyboard
[08:45] <cc_INC> You do have a CD-drive I hope....or do you get all you need from the net. Dropbox?
[08:45] <Sysi> I thin he's talking about a server, not his desktop machine
[08:45] <Cybertinus> it is a server in some datacentre. All it needs are updates (which aren't available anymore for Debian 3.0). And I get those from the internet yes ;)
[08:46] <cc_INC> Oh I have two old machines a Pentium 3 and a P4. One of them still has Windows :( I use that in my studio for recording purpose only. And the other runds Crunchbang. Got Xubuntu on my trusty IBM T60.
[08:46] <Cybertinus> normaly I don't see that server. I log into it remotly with SSH
[08:46] <Sysi> uhm, and this is actually support channel, you should go #xubuntu-offtopic for general chatting
[08:46] <cc_INC> Sysi sorry :(
[08:46] <cc_INC> Will do...
[08:46] <Cybertinus> ah, right. sorry Sysi. You've got a point there. Moving on to #xubuntu-offtopic

[13:12] <starn> hello eveyone, and good morning.
[13:13] <baizon> hi
[13:13] <starn> i got a dumb question... kinda ashamed to ask... but how do i keep my mouse pointer from disappearing?
[13:32] <starn> no one know?? or just slow to reply?
[13:33] <starn> like it wouldn't bug me if it stayed for like 10-30 seconds.. but it disappears after about 2-3 seconds of mouse being idle.
[13:37] <TheSheep> starn: I'm pretty sure it shouldn't do that
[13:38] <starn> TheSheep: really?? it's been doing this since i install xubuntu..
[13:38] <Sysi> is it only on terminal?
[13:38] <starn> Sysi: the entire desktop.
[13:38] <Sysi> ..I'm not sure if it still should happen
[13:39] <starn> like it's useful kinda when the walpaper changes to a pretty walpaper and i wanna see it with out anything for screenshots or w/e but i can just move my mouse to one of the four corners of me screens.. lol
[13:43] <starn> but i have multiple monitors and sometimes i forget where i put my pointer... so yeah.. it disappears kinda like it would if there was a full screen video.. and to what i am aware of i have looked in all the settings tabs for something to configure it.. could it be because i use nVidia?
[13:44] <starn> Hey, I'll be right back so i'm sorry for any delays in replies. i am a little sick.
[13:52] <RobinJ> why, if i overwrite ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml, don't the settings apply?
[14:01] <starn> i am back.
[14:17] <starn> i can't find anything on google :\
[14:22] <starn> what was the channel for help with Video Games such as Unreal tournament 2004 nexuz quake Americas army minecraft on linux?
[16:29] <Kingsy> hey guys, I am a little confused about setting up my panels, how do you put some items on the far right?
[16:29] <Sysi> add spacer left to them and set it to expand (right click -> properties)
[16:30] <Kingsy> ahh cooool
[16:32] <Kingsy> Sysi: thanks man, pretty obvious actually
[16:32] <Sysi> logical but not obvious
[16:36] <Kingsy> Sysi: how do you go about changing the appearence of xfce?
[16:37] <Sysi> settings -> appearance and settings -> window manager
[16:37] <Kingsy> Sysi: I don't have "appearence and settings" in my settings menu
[16:37] <Sysi> if you want new themes, check gnome-look.org gtk3 section and xfce4-look.org xfce-section
[16:37] <Sysi> Kingsy: whops, just appearance in settings manager
[16:38] <Kingsy> I see a settings editor?
[16:38] <Kingsy> oh nm

[16:51] <Rezn0rNInchNails> I would like to install xubuntu dapper on older machine. I downloaded alternate iso and put it on Verbatim 8 GB usb stick with unetbootin but I get incorrect cd rom. Please help.
[16:51] <Kingsy> Sysi: do you know of a netspeed applet that works in a xfce panel ?
[16:54] <Sysi> Rezn0rNInchNails: dapper is unsupported, try lucid
[16:54] <Sysi> Kingsy: no
[16:54] <Kingsy> hmm I wonder if there is one
[16:55] <Rezn0rNInchNails> Sysi: Thanks, I will give Lucid a try.
[16:56] <Sysi> Kingsy: search for one in synaptic or software center if you can't see one installed by default
[16:57] <Kingsy> Sysi: well netspeed is there in the software centre.. but that is a gnome applet so I am assuming it wont run in xfce?
[16:58] <Sysi> I think xfapplet broke after gnome3
[16:58] <Sysi> I think there has been xfce-netperf-plugin or something
[17:01] <Kingsy> can find any info on that
[17:01] <Kingsy> well nevermind, I will do it later.. gotta run now..
[17:02] <Kingsy> see ya all later
