[06:38] <slaptman> does anyone knoe how to get compiz working on xubuntu 11.10???
[06:42] <Marzata> that early?
[06:45] <nanotube> slaptman: if you google for compiz xubuntu, you'll get some tutorials
[06:46] <nanotube> basically, just install the compiz packages, and run compiz --replace, and it "should work". you may have to twiddle around with some window decorations or some such...

[08:33] <baizon> hello
[08:42] <shadowcry> Hey, are there any good themes yous know of that look similiar to Windows 7 for the bottom bar?
[08:43] <shadowcry> Like the transparency and glass effect?
[08:44] <Sysi> you can just create/find fitting image and set it as background
[08:44] <shadowcry> Sysi: Thank
[08:44] <shadowcry> Thanks* I will try
[08:45] <Sysi> I think .png transparency should work if you have compositing enabled
[08:45] <shadowcry> Sysi: where would i enable compositing?
[08:45] <shadowcry> Sysi: I'm new to XFCE been on GNOME for a while
[08:46] <Sysi> settings -> window manager tweaks

[08:48] <Sysi> I like xubuntu default one
[08:48] <shadowcry> ok
[08:49] <Sysi> gnome-look.org has plenty og gtk3 themes, window manager themes can be found in xfce-look.org
[08:50] <shadowcry> Thanks

[14:37] <manuel-gonzo> hey people! one question: I have trouble connecting a USB wireless network (TP-LINK RT2501/RT2573) disconnects every few minutes if you connect a peripheral to a USB port.
[14:37] <manuel-gonzo> help me, please!
[18:08] <adam___> Hello all -- I'm having YouTube playback issues (choppy video). I've got Xubuntu 11.10 running on an old ThinkPad T42.
[18:08] <adam___> I just ran Flash-Aid to no noticeable effect
[18:09] <levlazinskiy> adam - are you using firefox and what driver do you have installed for your video card?
[18:09] <levlazinskiy> Is this a new problem or has it always been like this?
[18:10] <adam___> yes, I'm using FireFox and yes, this is a new problem -- I used to have Ubuntu 11.04 on this machine and video played smoothly. How do I identify my driver?
[18:14] <n2diy> Help! Last night I installed Gnome on my box, thinking I could choose between it and Xfce at log in. That didn't happen, but what did is my panels and Xwindows are  afu.  The panel that used to display my running apps.  is now blank, and my Xwindows no longer have  their min, max, or close buttons!?
[18:14] <levlazinskiy> ok - first find out what kind of video card you have by going to a terminal and typing: lspci | grep VGA
[18:15] <adam___> ok: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]
[18:16] <levlazinskiy> cool - now try this page .. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[18:16] <levlazinskiy> Its got great instructions on how to install or update the new driver
[18:16] <levlazinskiy> if you have not messed with it.. it probably installed a generic driver
[18:16] <levlazinskiy> Also - there was a kernel update in 11.10 which may have screwed things up too..
[18:17] <levlazinskiy> Let me know if this works! (I hope it does! :) )
[18:17] <adam___> I'm on it -- back in a few. Many thanks!
[18:18] <levlazinskiy> No problem, best of Luck! :) I just had to go through the hell of installing a video driver on an old eMac PowerPC which is a terrine experience that no one should ever go through.. hope yours is a lot smoother. :)
[18:36] <adam___> levlazinskiy - I went through the Ubuntu community site you sent to the AMD/ATI website and I can't find my video card in their drop-down menus, nor can I get their little autodetect program to run. Any ideas?
[18:38] <adam___> p.s. I'm really impressed that you dealt successfully with an old eMac PowerPC.
[18:44] <baizon> adam___: yes
[18:45] <baizon> adam___: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.42&lang=English
[18:45] <baizon> for the x64 drivers
[18:47] <adam___> thanks baizon - this one works for x32 as well, right?
[18:47] <baizon> no
[18:48] <baizon> i mean yes
[18:48] <baizon> sorry :)
[18:48] <baizon> its working for x86 and x64 :)
[18:50] <adam___> right - that's what I meant ;-)
[18:50] <adam___> how do I manually install it?
[19:09] <darksteel> hi
[19:09] <darksteel> yesterday with help from here, I managed to upgrade an old xubuntu machine
[19:10] <darksteel> but Im having problems with PHP today. Im guessing some old extensions have changed or are no longer valid
[19:10] <darksteel> error messages:

[19:11] <darksteel> looks like mhash has been replaced by mhash2
[19:11] <darksteel> im not sure if I can simply remove those old config files or not
[19:11] <darksteel> is there anyway to check if any package owns those files?
[19:19] <nanotube> darksteel: try dpkg -S <filepath>
[19:19] <nanotube> though that'd only work if package is installed
[19:26] <GridCube> nanotube, you might get better help at ##php
[19:27] <GridCube> since this isnt actually a xubuntu related question :)
[19:28] <adam___> what changed from 11.04 to 11.10 that screwed up my YouTube playback? Grr!
[19:32] <adam___> I'm about ready to try 10.04 LTS
[19:32] <Thermi> for anyone here: NEVER upgrade your Ubuntu
[19:32] <Thermi> it screws up your whole system
[19:32] <Thermi> :|
[19:33] <adam___> perhaps downgrade is the most expeditious route
[19:34] <Sysi> version updates tend to be riskful
[19:34] <nanotube> GridCube: you mean, s/nanotube/darksteel/ :)
[19:35] <GridCube> yeah
[19:35] <GridCube> ah sorry
[19:35] <Myrtti> downgrade? you mean reinstallation of an older version?
[19:36] <adam___> yes, that's what I meant
[19:36] <nanotube> adam___: youtube wfm
[19:37] <nanotube> on 11.10 here, with firefox
[19:37] <Sysi> reinstall flashplugin, check your video drivers and disable hardware acceleration for flash
[19:39] <adam___> 'wfm' = 'Whole Foods Market'?
[19:39] <DarkRyu> hello
[19:40] <adam___> how do I disable hardware acceleration? right-click didn't work last time
[19:40] <Sysi> try on some other content, or reinstall plugin first (check you're not using html5 version)
[19:40] <DarkRyu> maybe someone could help me. i was updating the kernel on the xubuntu 10.04 and now i can not install the broadcom-sta anymore
[19:54] <Myrtti> adam___: works for me
[19:56] <adam___> ah -- I see. I'm trying to disable hardware acceleration for Flash -- I found the right-click pop-up but I can't click anything inside it.
[20:03] <mongy> right click a video, choose settings, it's the first thing you see.
[20:04] <mongy> hey Myrtti , circled you earlier :p
[20:05] <mongy> DarkRyu: did you have the package installed previously?
[20:06] <Myrtti> mongy: alright :-)
[20:07] <mongy> rebuilding my linux circle after removing 500 people from a shared linux circle where no one in it ever spoke the linux, ever.. arghh
[20:09] <adam___> what happens if I've got HTML5 version of Flash?
[20:11] <mongy> adam___: it's not flash.  check if you have html5 enabled for youtube from youtube.com/html5
[20:12] <mongy> adam___: which flash did you install?  adobe-flashplugin from the partner repo or flashplugin-installer from (I forget repo)
[20:13] <adam___> I went to Restricted Extras in the Ubuntu Software Center and ticked a box there.
[20:14] <mongy> yeah, remove it and try installing adobe-flashplugin instead.  enable the partner repo first.
[20:15] <mongy> I had that restricted extras version installed on my amd64 install and it installs a bunch of 32bit crud..  the other one does not
[20:15] <adam___> should I opt out of the YouTube HTML5 trial?
[20:15] <mongy> plus you get a menu entry for settings..
[20:15] <mongy> adam___: why not.  you can opt back in again
[20:30] <DarkRyu> mongy: yes and not it ends with error 10
[20:31] <mongy> DarkRyu: tried purging it and installing it again ?
[20:32] <DarkRyu> mongy: i did and now it ends with error 10
[20:32] <DarkRyu> mongy: whatever error 10 is
[20:33] <mongy> what model broadcom is it
[20:34] <DarkRyu> broadcom 4727 it is the sta driver because on the old kernel it runns with the broadcom-sta and under gentoo also with the 3.1.6 kernel
[20:35] <DarkRyu> mongy: broadcom 4727 it is the sta driver because on the old kernel it runns with the broadcom-sta and under gentoo also with the 3.1.6 kernel
[20:35] <mongy> is it an lpphy model?
[20:36] <DarkRyu> mongy: yes it is from a asus 1015px
[20:36] <mongy> I know when I had 10.04 I used the 10.10 package which was newer and worked ok, so maybe the same would apply with 11.10
[20:36] <mongy> have you tried using the firmware-b43-lpphy-installer package instead?
[20:37] <mongy> not even sure it exists in 10.04 mind.
[20:37] <DarkRyu> mongy: hmm sorry i readet something wrong befor i do not know if it is a lpphy model
[20:37] <DarkRyu> mongy: how do i find that out ?
[20:38] <mongy> lscpi | grep Network
[20:39] <mongy> Myrtti: thought you said you were going to help out on irc more :) lol
[20:39] <DarkRyu> mongy: Network controller: Broadcom Corperation Device 4727 (rev 01)
[20:41] <mongy> you could try a newer version.  http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/bcmwl-kernel-source
[20:42] <mongy> also, I'm not sure which firmware-b43 package would apply to that model.
[20:42] <DarkRyu> mongy: i can not compile it, it tels me a few errors and ends with error 10 $
[20:42] <knome> ten dollar error? that's quite expensive :)
[20:43] <DarkRyu> knome: the $ is a typo
[20:43] <mongy> DarkRyu: would it be best maybe to run your older kernel
[20:44] <knome> DarkRyu, i'm just kidding :)
[20:45] <DarkRyu> mongy: yes but howto downgrade :P this system is sooo stupid, it is not able to handle a new kernel :P sorry.. hmm
[20:45] <mongy> hold shift at boot and boot to older kernel, then remove newer
[20:45] <mongy> it *should* be installed still.
[20:46] <DarkRyu> mongy: let me try
[20:46] <mongy> #3.0.0.14 is it
[20:47] <mongy> doh
[20:47] <mongy> forgot you are on 10.04.
[20:47] <DarkRyu> mongy: no 2.6.32-??
[20:47] <mongy> you have newer kernels available in 10.04 you know
[20:48] <mongy> 2.6.35 (maverick) and I think 2.6.38 (natty) may be available
[20:48] <mongy> just thinking maybe that will help
[20:48] <DarkRyu> mongy: yes but they al do not run :P it is like my old suse do not tuch anything :P
[20:48] <mongy> ok, go back to your old kernel then.
[20:49] <DarkRyu> mongy: how can i set the actual kernel as the original ?
[20:49] <mongy> reboot into it and remove the newer one you don't want.
[20:50] <DarkRyu> mongy: how can i remove the new ? sorry i am not used to ubuntu, xubuntu
[20:51] <mongy> uname -r
[20:51] <mongy> what is your current
[20:53] <mongy> btw, not interested in using 11.10 ?
[20:53] <DarkRyu> mongy: 2.6.32-37-generic
[20:54] <DarkRyu> mongy: 11.10 is not running correctly it sometimes find the network then it is losing it, and so on
[20:55] <mongy> little rusty but, try sudo dpkg -l | grep linux-image
[20:55] <mongy> should show you your installed kernels
[20:57] <DarkRyu> mongy: now the old kernel does not support anything anymore. no lan no wlan :P
[20:58] <mongy> you booted into it?
[21:01] <DarkRyu> mongy: i alredy bootot to the old kernel now i need to remove the new ..
[21:01] <mongy> does everything still work ?
[21:01] <DarkRyu> mongy: no
[21:02] <DarkRyu> mongy: no network at all
[21:02] <mongy> odd
[21:02] <DarkRyu> i realy love tose stupid systems... like suse :P
[21:03] <DarkRyu> everithing what is not in the package manager is nor running at all
[21:06] <mongy> so what kernel are you in nwo
[21:06] <mongy> now*
[21:07] <DarkRyu> mongy: 2.6.32-37-generic
[21:08] <mongy> that is the newer version isnt it?
[21:12] <DarkRyu> mongy: no that is the old one
[21:16] <mongy> and nothing works anymore?  older kernels should still function as they were..
[21:19] <DarkRyu> mongy: how can i remove the new kernel ?
[21:20] <mongy> dpkg -l | grep linux-image
[21:20] <mongy> the one above 2.6.32-37
[21:21] <mongy> sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-2.6.32-xx linux-image-2.6.32-xx  xx = newer version
[21:22] <DarkRyu> mongy: what does the upper command do ?
[21:22] <mongy> remove the newer kernel
[21:22] <mongy> you need to tell it which though...
[21:23] <DarkRyu> purge means remuve ?
[21:23] <mongy> yes
[21:24] <DarkRyu> so for me it would be sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.0.0-15-generic linux-image-3.0.0-15-generic
[21:24] <mongy> er, no
[21:25] <mongy> version 3 is in 10.04 ?
[21:25] <mongy> w00t
[21:25] <DarkRyu> mongy: why i will remove the new one because it is crap
[21:25] <Sysi> why do you have backports kernel? I wouldn't wonder some proprietary driver failing with that
[21:26] <DarkRyu> Sysi: the original source is runing on my notebook and i use 3.1.6
[21:31] <DarkRyu> mongy: hmm so is it now automaticaly making that i after can boot the old kernel ?
[21:34] <mongy> the newest you have will be booted by default.
[21:35] <mongy> assuming it updated grub.cfg after removing it.
[21:38] <DarkRyu> mongy: hmm this grub.cfg looks complicated. i am use to grub.conf it is very easy to understand and self configur :p
[21:40] <mongy> you don't need to worry about it
[21:40] <mongy> it will be updated with a list of your kernels.
[21:46] <DarkRyu> mongy: but now just fo me to understand. why i can not use the 3.0.0-15 kernel ? it is not for my system or where is the problem ?
[21:48] <mongy> stick to the kernel your distro was made for.. and all the packages included
[21:49] <mongy> mix and match doesn't really do well on linux
[21:58] <DarkRyu> mongy: hmm on linux ? you mean on specific distro
[22:02] <mongy> well, yeah
[22:03] <DarkRyu> mongy: thanks a lot for the help :)
[22:05] <DarkRyu> mongy: now on the old kernel everything what was running befor is now also running.
[22:05] <mongy> cool
[23:13] <DaMummy|PND> right so im trying to boot into liveUSB, what is it im supposed to input at the login/password screen exactly?
[23:22] <mongy> nothing
[23:22] <mongy> you shouldn't get a login/password prompt
[23:28] <stoic> I cant get flash plugin installed for firefox no matter how hard i try
[23:28] <stoic> tried every suggestion, flash-aid to manually moving libflashplayer.so and I get nothin
[23:28] <DaMummy|PND> well i am, after some google fu, it says to try ubuntu with no pass, but that didnt work
[23:28] <stoic> tried alternate plugins and no luck there either
[23:28] <DaMummy|PND> gonna try make new liveusb
[23:29] <stoic> ive enabled all repositories but every instruction for apt-get install adobe-flashplugin or flashplugin-installer etc doesnt work
[23:30] <stoic> maybe itll work when i splatter my brains all over the monitor
[23:31] <mongy> DaMummy|PND: it can't be an ubuntu/xubuntu iso then.
[23:32] <DaMummy|PND> i get the xubuntu login screen
[23:32] <DaMummy|PND> and already have installed xubuntu off that usb
[23:32] <DaMummy|PND> but now ive got fs issues and want to boot into live so i can properly fsck the drive
[23:33] <DaMummy|PND> im open to other ideas though
[23:37] <mongy> if your livecd won't login, I'm lost
[23:39] <DaMummy|PND> ya im creating a new liveusb now and see what happens
[23:40] <DaMummy|PND> stoic, try chromium?
[23:42] <stoic> havnt yet, was just reading on ppc faq that flash is indeed not supported that i have to go with an open source alternative
[23:42] <stoic> but ill try chromium
[23:45] <DaMummy|PND> i use flash with xubuntu no problem
[23:45] <DaMummy|PND> x86 though, not ARM in case thats what youre using
