Kingsyhow do I install avr-gcc? I cant seem to find it in the repos.. is it in "buildessential" ?01:16
knomeif you're building stuff, you need build-essential anyway.01:16
knomethat's what the package name is for01:16
Kingsywell all I need is avr-gcc really.. but I found it01:17
Kingsyfor some reason its in the repos as gcc-avr which is odd saying as tho the binary is avr-gcc01:17
Kingsynevermind01:17
knomemakes sense to "file it under" gcc in a repository...01:18
Kingsyyeah your right now that I think about it01:24

VanessaEcan someone tell me how to disable the password-on-resume-from-suspend "feature" (11.10)?04:59
nanotubehmm, i recall seeing that somewhere... maybe screensaver setting?04:59
VanessaEAlready tried changing that.04:59
fennecHello05:01
VanessaEI've googled up and down, tried just about everything that should do the trick, but so far it remains stuck.05:02
fennecAm back, and in the us!05:02
fennec:D05:02
fennecI have a little question05:02
fennecI've been wanting to put KDE Plasma Active on a tablet05:03
fennecI want something compatible (preferably multitouch), around $100-$200, and availible in the us05:03
Unit193VanessaE: Even Settings Manager > Power Manager > Extended > Lock Screen.... and rebooting?05:03
fennecAnyone knowledgable?05:03
VanessaEUnit193: been there. :)05:04
VanessaEthat option's been unchecked for several reboots now05:04
Unit193Anything weird about your setup?05:04
VanessaE(I regularly shut down at night since this broke)05:04
fennecOops didnt mean to butt in sorry D:05:04
VanessaEnope, everything was fine in the previous install05:04
VanessaE(debian Squeeze)05:05
Unit193Are you using Debian+Xfce?05:05
VanessaEat the time, yes.  Since reformatted and moved to Xubuntu 11.10.05:06
VanessaExfce in both cases.05:06
VanessaEand it is xubuntu that is showing the problem05:10
VanessaEsuspend/resume works fine, mind you (at least on this box).  It just won't stop asking me for my password when it comes back up.05:10
VanessaESince this is a desktop machine in a trusted environment, boot/resume passwords are kinda..overkill :-)05:11
Unit193Yeah, I just tried turning it off here for kicks05:13
|multipass|is there a hotkey for terminal setup?05:18
|multipass|like i think gnome did ctrl alt t05:18
VanessaEnot in xfce; I set mine to use Win-F1 for that05:19
Unit193I use C+A+t05:19
nanotube|multipass|: by default, no. you can set one in settings -> manager -> keyboard05:19
nanotubei used to use f1205:20

Ritchie_Zis here someone who tried installing xfce on ubuntu 11.10 because it got very slow after upgrading from 11.04? (I am just wondering whether it solves the problem)15:20

becker_11Hi I've ran may distros of linux in the past but since installing xubuntu my internet speed has seemed very slow. I was wondering if I could turn off the auto updates feature as I prefer to use apt-get for that anyway and maybe that would help the internet speed slightly as well17:19
w30becker_11, some people gain speed by disabling ivp6    if you don't need it17:22
becker_11okay I didn't realise it was on17:22
becker_11w30, how would I disable it?17:22
w30becker_11, it don't hurt mine though; edit your connection in network connections17:24
w30becker_11, maybe set ipv6 settings to ignore17:25
becker_11w30, yeah just done that. When I used Debian it was off by default.17:25
becker_11w30, Do you have any idea regarding the auto software update??17:25
w30becker_11, I haven't done it but you can always change it back17:25
becker_11w30, shouldn't need to as I've never used it previously17:26
w30becker_11, I haven't messed with auto update.....17:27
becker_11w30, no worries thanks for the other tip though17:27
nanotubew30: hey, btw, you weren't here at the time, but i ran compiz --replace and had no issues with window decorations. so i guess the plain ubuntu has some packages in it that makes everything peachy.17:55
TheSheepnanotube: it has metacity17:56
w30nanotube, ok, thats good news17:56
nanotubeTheSheep: hm, could be. seems that people running pure xubuntu though, have to go through some contortions to get decorations working17:56
nanotubeapparently none of them have clued into installing the metacity package to try to fix it?17:56
TheSheepthat's because metacity is a part of the eternal evil called gnome17:57
w30nanotube, what's the metacity package name?17:57
nanotubew30: at a guess, 'metacity' :)17:58
TheSheep!info metacity17:58
ubottumetacity (source: metacity): lightweight GTK+ window manager. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.34.1-1ubuntu4 (oneiric), package size 272 kB, installed size 896 kB17:58
TheSheeplightweight, haha17:58
* w30 wants no gnome anything since it became gnome317:58
nanotubewell, metacity itself is not bad at all.17:59
nanotubeit's the rest of the gnome crap that pulls weight17:59
w30lightweight compared to Windows 7, MACOSX, KDE, eh?17:59
nanotubeheh18:00
SysiI'm not sure if I had metacity or if gtk-window-decorator from compiz-gnome was enough18:03
Sysimetacity has to be lightweight, why would they use something so awful otherwise18:04
Sysiare there decorator(s), besides compiz and kwin that can raise window when alt-tabbing?18:06
Marzatais fluxbox lighter than xfce?18:07
Sysiwell, it's just about a windowmanager so yes18:10
Sysilxde should have a bit smaller ram footprint too18:10
Marzatalxde lacks usability and aesthetics18:12
SysiI guess it would have everything I need, but I have resources to run xfce18:14
knomeMarzata, that's the thing, isn't it? if you have more features, you will use more memory18:16
Marzataknome: no more than xfce :>18:16
pimperlei cannot use the mouse while holding ALT to resize and move windows.18:18
pimperlealso selecting text stops alt-tab from working and the cursor stays with its text selecting shape18:18
pimperle(the big I)18:18
pimperlei can temporary fix this by starting a shell (global shortcuts still seem to work) and launching xfwm4 --replace18:19
pimperletoggling the compositor option does not help18:21
Sysipimperle: when it breakes again after running xfwm4 --replace?18:26
pimperlewhen selecting text18:26
pimperlenow i ran aptitude safe-upgrade again (did i yesterday i think)18:27

pimperlehttp://pastie.org/311373318:28
pimperlethat's a list of packages which were upgraded18:28
w30if you are using compiz you need to check some of the window management boxes to get move resize etc. to work like they dis with xfce or gonme, whatever.18:28
w30dis/did18:28

dleonardihey, i'm trying to install xubuntu and X11 turns out to be messed up. i need to reconfigure it with a special modeline, but i cant find any Xorg.conf or whatever other file in /etc/X1118:37
dleonardiwhere does one go and specify video drivers, video modes and the like in xubuntu?18:38
Sysiyou need to create it with Xorg -configure when not running X1118:38
dleonardiso, kill the installer, run Xorg -configure, and relaunch xinit ?18:39
dleonardilets do that.18:39
dleonardiSysi: every time i kill the X process it springs back to life.18:42
Sysidoing it while installing sounds like a bad idea anyway18:43
dleonardiwell i cant see the installer without fixing X...18:43
dleonardiis there not a text mode?18:43
Marzatainstall ubuntu server first18:44
Marzatathen add the desktop you need18:44
SysiMarzata: it's better to use alternate installer18:44
Marzatathat one too18:44
dleonardiouch. i cant re-download a 800 meg iso18:44
dleonardiam on low bandwidth18:45
dleonardiwhat alternate installer?18:45
Sysithat's the text installer18:45
Sysi\disk with it18:45
Sysiyou can try booting with xforcevesa option if driver picked by default doesn't work18:46
dleonardiso.. i just rebooted my device. i got the nice framebuffer greeter with the "try xubuntu before installiung" menuy thing18:46
dleonardii was hoping to find a text installer there, but theres no trace of it18:46
dleonardixforcevesa .. mmm18:46
dleonardithat might be worth a shot.18:47
holsteindleonardi: theres an alternate installer disc, seperate download18:47
dleonardiaw snap.18:47
holsteinif you cant get to the desktop live, you usually have some issue with hardware though18:47
holsteintrying the vesa driver is a great place to start18:47
dleonardiwell ubuntu 8.10 works with the vesa driver and a special modeline18:48
Marzataubuntu server and lynx - do you need more?18:48
dleonardii'm expecting it to be the same here18:48
dleonardiMarzata: and emacs. fuck ya .18:48
dleonardi:D18:48
holsteindleonardi: i would expect the same thing, if not less support on older hardware like that18:48

MOMHi, I need help with the Panel 2 customization.20:20
MOMI'm new to Linux, and when the setup ended I was thrilled, but when I logged in I made a mistake and choose xfce instead of xubuntu and now when I'm back in xubuntu the panel 2 won't be transparent.20:21
neothecati know this has probably been asked a million times, but i could not find a direct answer. is xubuntu exactly the same as ubuntu, in terms of service configuration, app versions numbers, etc. except it uses Xfce instead of gnome as it's default DE?21:06
Sysiapps are same, init services should be the same21:07
neothecatok, thanks.  can't stand gnome3, but like xfce, so i wanted to use xubuntu.  i was not sure if it was the kind of relation mint is to linux.21:08
Sysimint is not *buntu21:08
neothecatmint is derived from ubuntu, so i did not know if xubuntu was derived from ubuntu, or was ubuntu with a different DE (which is what i was hoping for)21:10
Sysixubuntu is official derivative, uses same repositories21:12
