[04:13] ghengiscoin, welcome [04:13] thanks w38 [04:14] w30: you got a +8 :) [04:15] ghengiscoin, all I know is I have Firefox 9.0.1 Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical-1.0 [04:16] * Unit193 FF11 [04:16] nanotube, 8 bit player, ha [04:17] hmm - mine is 3.6.24 - when i use apt-get install firefox i get message already at most recent version [04:19] ghengiscoin: which version of xubuntu? probably lts or some such? [04:19] you could try adding a repository with a more recent firefox, such as firefox-stable, or ubuntuzilla [04:19] ls -la /usr/bin/firefox [04:19] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2011-12-28 04:33 /usr/bin/firefox -> ../lib/firefox-9.0.1/firefox.sh [04:21] ghengiscoin, check and see how you are calling up firefox [04:21] ghengiscoin, maybe you have both versions installed? [04:22] both versions of firefox checking on Xubuntu version [04:23] make that both versions of ?? [04:24] cmd is firefox with start-up notification [04:26] pretty sure I'm running xfce4 not sure how to check [04:26] lsb_release -rd [04:26] ghengiscoin, with firefox loaded try in a terminal ps aux | grep firefox [04:27] Ubuntu 10.10 [04:28] i see still calling firefox-3.6.24 [04:28] I will try to add a repository [04:29] and get back to you all - thanks! [04:29] ghengiscoin, I run 11.10; I am not familiar with 10.10 [04:29] i think it's the latest with xfce desktop [04:29] ? [04:30] !fx6 [04:30] Firefox 6 has been released as a security update for 11.04. For 10.04 and 10.10, you can use the unofficial and unsupported PPA at https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable [04:33] hmm - so I'm behind the times - but I do have an older laptop [04:48] I added the ppa you recommend but it's not updating for some reason - probably needs some time [04:52] try also ubuntuzilla - i've been using it to good effect for years. (and i'm partial to it because i maintain it :) ) [04:53] Or try running sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:55] that did it - sudo apt-get dist-upgrade downloading now [04:56] say, is it reasonable to donate to the opensource foundation instead of to each org from which I get SW? [05:00] thanks for all assistance - now running firefox 9.0.1 [05:00] good night all === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === toga-blue is now known as toga === Pieman is now known as Paimun === moylan1 is now known as moylan [10:21] Do I need a cd to switch from ubuntu to xubuntu or could the entire process be done online? [10:23] you dont need a CD [10:24] no, you just install the xubuntu-desktop package like bazhang told you in #ubuntu [10:24] you only need to install xubuntu-desktop [10:25] Would that be like 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop'? [10:25] exactly [10:25] Ah.. [10:31] I was just told this: "from my experience, xfce is no longer more lightweight than regular GNOME (compared to GNOME2, 3 I havent compared)" [10:31] Any comments on that? [10:32] no [10:32] you will be able to choose gnome/unity or xfce on startup. if you want to get rid of ubuntu or xubuntu later on, see here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [10:34] Nah, that wasn't the point as I read that text. It basically says that there isn't much to gain with respect to freed system resources by switching from ubuntu to xubuntu. Or am I reading it wrong? [10:42] hi guys, anyone knows how to set up cpu frequency scaling properly on xubuntu? [10:57] <_Pete_> kclemens: define properly? for me it works properly out of the box [11:07] _Pete_: heres what cpufreq-info gives me [11:07] analyzing CPU 0: [11:07] driver: acpi-cpufreq [11:07] CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 1 [11:07] CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0 [11:07] maximum transition latency: 10.0 us. [11:07] hardware limits: 800 MHz - 2.67 GHz [11:07] available frequency steps: 2.67 GHz, 2.67 GHz, 2.13 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 800 MHz [11:07] available cpufreq governors: conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance [11:07] current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 800 MHz. [11:07] The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use [11:07] within this range. [11:07] current CPU frequency is 800 MHz. [11:08] cpufreq stats: 2.67 GHz:0.00%, 2.67 GHz:0.00%, 2.13 GHz:0.00%, 1.60 GHz:0.00%, 800 MHz:100.00% (2) [11:08] it is not scaling the frequency up above 800 MHz [11:08] no matter what i specify with cpufreq-set [11:21] Hi, I'm on 11.04. upowerd is occassionally freezing my laptop with 100% CPU usages. What can I do about this? Is it safe to uninstall upower? [12:49] someone recommended I get a package from the next ubuntu release (precise), namely the erlang package. How do I go about installing that? [12:49] do I just add precise sources to my sources.list? [12:50] I wouldn't [12:50] it's bound to break stuff [12:50] I need a erlang version other than R14B02 [12:50] apparently, it's broken on 64 bit, according to #couchdb [12:51] is it better if I build my own erlang? [13:01] building my own ;) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [13:59] Xubuntu Rules [15:03] . === YeahRight is now known as YeahRight_ [17:36] hi === philippe is now known as Guest25340 [17:37] I just did a fresh install of xubuntu 10.10 and it's asking for password everytime I want to restart or shutdown [17:37] Help?

[17:41] meh [17:41] ok [17:41] I will reinstall [17:41] dunno, i've heard of someone asking a similar thing a few days ago [17:41] and did reinstall help them? [17:41] dunno if they fixed it or not [17:41] oh ok [17:41] he never came back [17:41] I will try a reinstall [17:42] I will come back and let you know [17:42] Thanks [17:42] :) [17:42] Laters [17:42] no problem [18:00] on xubuntu11.04 liveUSB stick: Can not run 'update-grub' won't run_after editing /etc/default/grub.

[18:03] yes, my command was 'sudo update-grub'. tks GridCube [18:03] ok, well [18:04] i never tried to update-grub from a live session [18:04] i don't know if that possible [18:10] this is also first time i've tried it w/ liveusb__man page shows reference to 'update-grub2'__tried that too. [18:12] i noticed that '/boot'grub/grub.cfg' does not exist__can anyone else help? [18:15] hey liveXubun what are you trying to do? [18:22] want to completely disable ipv6 on liveUSB [18:23] dont want to have to enter a command manually after each live boot. [18:25] Has anyone else had issues with their mouse not working after the latest update? [18:35] GridCube, tks for ur ideas. Anyone else know how to run 'update-grub' on liveUSB? [18:40] P.S. Live Xubun 11.04 is working GREAT, except for disabling ipv6 via grub.

[20:19] after updating today I'm having problems with my mouse, can anyone help? [20:20] what kind of problems? [20:21] Mouse just doesn't work after restarting [20:23] JT-oneReb: anything in the x logs? [20:24] I don't know, I'm really limited without a mouse [20:25] Today's update was a fairly large one with new grub [20:25] I ran the update and restarted the computer and then my problem started [20:28] JT-oneReb, tried un-plugging the mouse, and replugin it again? [20:28] if its usb it might restart in the moment [20:29] if its not then you might need to restart the computer without the mouse and then again [20:31] I just unplugged the mouse and plugged it back, not working [20:31] it's not a USB mouse [20:31] :/ ok [20:32] I think that the update screwed things up [20:32] JT-oneReb: is it a com mouse? [20:32] yes [20:32] JT-oneReb: if it is, xubuntu has no way to detect it, you need to configure it in xorg.conf [20:33] Can you tell me how to get my terminal to open the typical ctr alt t isn't working [20:35] alt-f2 [20:35] xfce4-terminal [20:42] xorg.conf is command not found [20:45] man 5 xorg.conf [20:50] Ok I'm not real sure what that is going to do to get my mouse to work again OMH [20:53] JT-oneReb, you need to create a xorg.conf [20:54] using x --configure after killing the current session [20:54] then you need to add the pointer to the pointers section [20:54] if its not there you will need to create it [20:55] command not found when I type xorg.conf [20:55] you need to create, not run [21:00] GridCube: i believe you can go on one of the terminals and kill the current x session then run x --configure [21:00] sudo service lightdm stop [21:00] to stop the x [21:00] i believe :D [21:01] trinikrono, :) im not the one with the problem, its JT-oneReb, but yeah thats exactly what he has to do [21:01] whoops lol [21:03] ok I'll try that [21:03] I'm still not real sure about what it is that I'm doing [21:09] hello... i've got xubuntu installed.. everything works perfect, but i tried to install a printer today (Canon MP620) .. it detects and everything, but the printing is bad... colors dont come out right, font is oversized, printing is just weird.. any ideas? [21:11] m1chael, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1763027 [21:12] thanks GridCube... so I should expect a different outcome? rather than just plugging it in, choosing the printer, etc [21:41] thanks GridCube, it worked perfectly!!

[23:09] anyone got any ideas- just getting the brightness to 100 percent would be a start [23:12] eightyape: why dont you try the 12.04 [23:12] it would have the newest kernel [23:12] can you point me in the right direction- had no iidea there was new new version [23:12] eightyape: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/20120123/ [23:13] you would be able to download a iso that you can burn to a cd or usb drive to test it out [23:13] are they any further on with embedded intel stuff is the question tho [23:14] seems to be centred around that [23:14] well the newer kernels tend to fix things that where broken with older ones [23:15] so its always a good idea to test the latest ones first [23:15] or if you want to go backwards instead to lucid where it might of worked [23:15] 10.04 [23:16] yep some folks havent had so many issues with 10.04 bu t the last config from another use with the same comedy laptop was back on 8.04 [23:16] can you tell me nthe meantime haow i might set the backlight?
