[00:13] <jadoe> is there a way to prevent the screensaver/lock activation when a movie player is running?
[00:20] <damian> jadoe: I guess you could wrap the movie playing app around disable/enable the xscreensaver deamon in the script then call the script instead of the app directly

[11:40] <shpngld> hello everybody! I have such an weird problem. Im running xubuntu 11.04 and have installed skype beta. the problem is I cant type in the chat windows in skype. The only way for a text to appear is to first type in in empty file than copy it and then paste in chat window. I have tried reinstalling skype but nothing happened please help!

[11:54] <TheSheep> shpngld: if you right-click inside the text area, you can select an "input method"
[11:54] <TheSheep> shpngld: see if changing that helps
[11:56] <shpngld> I cant even type my password at login screeen!!!

[11:58] <shpngld> something is wrong last night everything was ok
[11:59] <shpngld> i havent donbe nothing unusual, just browsing

[12:05] <shpngld> I will restart now, hopefully something better will happen
[12:06] <baizon> good luck
[13:14] <xubuntu763> hello
[13:15] <xubuntu763> i am quite new in xubuntu and all is working well on my pc, apart from a little problem that i am trying to solve but so far with no success.
[13:17] <xubuntu763> it is about clicking turn off pc, but in the end system is shutting down until it says system is down, but it is not because monitor is on and pc fan is running. then i have to press on/off button on tower to turn off definitely.
[13:17] <xubuntu763> i tried many things but with no success.
[13:18] <xubuntu763> my pc is a pentium 3 with 1 Gb ram. No acpi or apm.
[13:18] <TheSheep> well, without acpi it's not possible to turn the computer off programmatically
[13:20] <xubuntu763> before i had xp running on this pc and it turned off well, but with ubuntu after and now xubuntu, no way.
[13:20] <xubuntu763> you are right, thesheep, about having no acpi, there is no chance.
[13:20] <well_laid_lawn> !tab
[13:22] <xubuntu763> i tried to edit with acpi=off, but nothing. No acpi, no party.

[16:32] <vjacob> hiya
[16:32] <vjacob> anyone know how to get rid of the annoying corner pop-up about network connection being down/off (when it is clearly on)?
[16:34] <GridCube> yep, clic on it
[16:34] <vjacob> well
[16:34] <vjacob> i have been doing that
[16:34] <vjacob> my question is how to avoid clicking
[16:34] <vjacob> and not have them display at all
[16:35] <vjacob> i dont really need that popzup
[16:35] <vjacob> to appear
[16:35] <GridCube> no way that im aware of
[16:35] <GridCube> let me check
[16:35] <m1chael> can i use virtual box to install to a usb flash drive?
[16:35] <vjacob> guess im not the only one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1795405
[16:36] <GridCube> vjacob, nope, its something pretty common
[16:37] <vjacob> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1877641 apparently has a "solution"
[16:38] <GridCube> vjacob, try this: gconftool -s /apps/nm-applet/disable-disconnected-notifications --type=bool true	
[16:38] <vjacob> sudo mv /usr/lib/notify-osd /usr/lib/notify-osd-DELETETHIS
[16:41] <vjacob> thanks gridgube, i appreciate it
[16:41] <vjacob> will keep it in mind
[16:42] <vjacob> anyone here know where the commands that launch each panel item are located?
[16:42] <vjacob> i want to find out what command is being used to screen lock
[16:42] <vjacob> or Lock screen
[16:43] <vjacob> or do any of you know how I could temporarily disable panel 2 without removing it from the configuration completely?
[16:44] <GridCube> disable?
[16:44] <vjacob> have it not load
[16:44] <vjacob> as in auto-hide is not enough
[16:44] <GridCube> mmm not that im aware of
[16:44] <vjacob> only see delete and add buttons in the properties
[16:45] <vjacob> but I take it there must be a config file somewhere
[16:45] <vjacob> that I could backup and then I could also revert to that
[16:46] <GridCube> maybe on ~/.config/xfce4/panel
[16:46] <GridCube> ?
[16:46] <GridCube> no idea
[16:47] <vjacob> guess in .config yeah
[16:47] <vjacob> thanks again
[16:51] <vjacob> arch
[16:51] <vjacob> the panel crashes and reloads when i try to add new apps to it.
[16:52] <vjacob> ah, probably due to disk space running low
[16:54] <mongy> It did that when I added the Places plugin,  after I configured it..  not low on space either
[17:07] <vjacob> mongy, to what extent did you customize your default XFCE config?
[17:08] <mongy> quite bit
[17:09] <mongy> well depends what you mean by customise.  I never hacked any scripts to get what I want.
[17:10] <mongy> changed theme, icons, enabled compiz and gestures, added places plugin, swapped time/date for xfce4-datetime-plugin, compiled netspeed panel plugin, er....rearranged app menu a little
[17:12] <mongy> http://i.imgur.com/Y0VS1.jpg
[17:12] <baizon> nice config :)
[17:13] <vjacob> looks nice indeed
[17:13] <mongy> I have the beef to have a little extra goin on
[17:13] <mongy> reminds me, food time..
[17:13] <vjacob> how much ram do you have on that computer?
[17:13] <vjacob> and is it a desktop or a laptop?
[17:14] <vjacob> nae bother :)
[17:16] <mongy> laptop.  i7/8gb - ati 4650hd 1gig
[17:26] <Sysi> mongy: put space before text "Applications", you can actually do that
[17:27] <mongy> :)  I guess it does improve a touch..
[17:29] <Sysi> which torrent client btw?
[17:29] <mongy> n/a
[17:30] <mongy> means I don't use one, not locally anyway
[17:30] <Sysi> oh right, that's how netspeed should be like
[17:30] <mongy> and rarely.
[17:30] <mongy> yeah, just xfce4-netspeed
[17:32] <vjacob> do you have a special xfce repository? according to apt-get install xfce4-netspeed, its not located on my system
[17:32] <adamrj1986> Hi, I'm new to xubuntu and I can't figure out how to select different audio devices for sound output.
[17:33] <mongy> vjacob, compiled.
[17:34] <holstein> adamrj1986: mention one is bluetooth... pavucontrol is the tool for that in most cases.. i think that is the issue you are having... BT management
[17:34] <mongy> vjacob, its only small and requires a few dev packages..  I kept the debs it made however.
[17:34] <mongy> vjacob, http://code.google.com/p/xfce4-netspeed-plugin/
[17:36] <Sysi> pavucontrol is also used when switching between internal/usb cards but AFAIK it should work with BT too
[17:37] <Sysi> my desktop: http://imagebin.org/200762
[17:37] <mongy> vjacob, if you wanna compile it: sudo apt-get install intltool xfce4-dev-tools libxfce4util-dev libgtk2.0-dev libxfcegui4-dev libxfce4util-dev xfce4-panel-dev libgtop2-dev checkinstall  (checkinstall because I make debs)
[17:39] <mongy> vjacob, I may as well finish it off : )   ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && sudo checkinstall --pkgname=xfce4-netspeed --pkgversion="1:$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M)" --backup=no --deldoc=yes --fstrans=no --default
[17:40] <mongy> use whatever pkgname you like.
[17:41] <Sysi> if I removed wine I could maybe install kwin..
[17:42] <adamrj1986> Sysi: Should the bluetooth device be shown in the 'output' tab of pavucontrol?
[17:42] <mongy> DOOO IIIIIT!
[17:43] <Sysi> adamrj1986: sorry, I don't have any BT sound devices
[17:43] <adamrj1986> Ok, I'm going to try doing some more reading and see what I can figure out
[17:48] <vjacob> thanks a lot mongy
[17:49] <mongy> vjacob, debs in the folder to use another time...
[17:49] <mongy> only 1 meg
[17:52] <mongy> vjacob, if you want cpu % and mem % as well there is the indicator-sysmonitor indicator plugin, works fine as long as you have the indicator plugin on panel..
[17:53] <vjacob> installing the debs currently
[17:54] <mongy> its installed with the checkinstall command.  debs are only thre as backups
[17:54] <mongy> there*.
[17:54] <mongy> just makes life easier for installing/removing
[17:54] <vjacob> i smell a package brewing up :)
[18:09] <mongy> so do I , brb. toilet
[20:10] <justakill> anyone know where i can find a tutorial about static ip adresses xubuntu
[20:10] <justakill> ?
[20:10] <justakill> also how do i check if its static or not
[20:10] <justakill> ?
[20:11] <GridCube> justakill, i don't think that depends exclusivelly on xubuntu or not
[20:12] <GridCube> that will depend on the kind of contrat you have with your ISP
[20:12] <justakill> modem?
[20:12] <justakill> ok
[20:12] <GridCube> DSL kind of connection are always dynamic ip's
[20:13] <justakill> well i'm talking about a static ip on local network
[20:13] <justakill> i think??
[20:13] <GridCube> oh
[20:13] <GridCube> thats you should set on your router
[20:14] <Unit193> LAN IP? No, that's the computer.
[20:14] <Unit193> Why do you need to set it? That's an easier way to figure out what you need.
[20:14] <Sysi> click on network icon on panel -> edit connections -> wired
[20:14] <GridCube> then you simply connect to a static ip on nm-connection-editor
[20:16] <Sysi> by default it's dhcp but your dhcp server is likely to give same address to same machine
[20:19] <mongy> careful the one you set does not conflict with any in the dhcp pool
[20:44] <DarkLordZim> hi everyone
[20:47] <mongy> sup
[20:48] <DarkLordZim> i've got a question dealing with hardware management
[20:48] <DarkLordZim> is there a command-line way to disable my touchpad? or do i need to install "synaptiks" to handle any of the touchpad settings?
[20:49] <mongy> synclient TouchpadOff=1
[20:49] <mongy> man syndaemon
[20:49] <DarkLordZim> ty!
[20:49] <mongy> np
[20:50] <mongy> syndaemon -i 2 -d    if you wanna disable while typing
[22:53] <Dayofswords> does anyone know how to stop xubuntu from starting up the programs that was open the last time i logged in?
[22:54] <knome> Dayofswords, close all applications, and when you log in the next time, be sure you have "save session" selected.
[22:54] <knome> Dayofswords, the next time after that, uncheck
[22:55] <Dayofswords> k, i'll try that
[22:59] <Dayofswords> so where is this save session thing? i'm not on exactly xubuntu, it's ubuntu 11.04 that i then installed xubuntu-desktop, i still have the ubuntu login screen(gdm?)
[22:59] <mongy> knome: out of curious, where does it save this info?
[22:59] <knome> Dayofswords, that was supposed to be "when you log *out*" :)
[22:59] <knome> mongy, i'm not completely sure.
[23:01] <Dayofswords> knome: the logout thing doesn't have a save session option either, just "log out" and "cancel"
[23:01] <knome> Dayofswords, right, then check the session section in the settings manager
[23:01] <mongy> odd, I seeo one
[23:01] <mongy> there is a tick box
[23:02] <Unit193> ~/.cache/sessions (close enough)
[23:10] <mongy> I have a shed load of 0 byte files in .cache/sessions
[23:11] <mongy> all thunar
[23:11] <mongy> 265 to be precise.
[23:15] <Unit193> mongy: Delete 'em,  see what happens. :P
[23:16] <brianp1992> im installing xubuntu right now
[23:16] <knome> brianp1992, :)
[23:17] <brianp1992> -when i upgraded to 10.10 ubuntu i realised that my system is too old for the os itself
[23:18] <mongy> Unit193: next time I reboot I'll remove them before I login and see how many appear.
[23:18] <Unit193> I have none.
[23:18] <brianp1992> #ubuntu
[23:18] <Unit193> No, this is #xubuntu
[23:19] <brianp1992> in new to this, is there a way to change channels?
[23:19] <Unit193> brianp1992: /join #ubuntu
[23:20] <mongy> the last one made 16:50 today. Thunar-20b501d96-25dd-4069-afe4-fc9aca0641ce
[23:20] <mongy> 23:23 now btw
[23:21] <mongy> 23:20
[23:21] <brianp1992> ahh okay i get it
[23:22] <mongy> don't leave us :'(
[23:22] <mongy> Unit193: ok am deleting them all
[23:23] <Unit193> I was kidding, but I have done it before... YMMV.
[23:23] <brianp1992> YMCMB
[23:24] <mongy> Unit193: thanks.. It took a while to delete them though.  265 x 0 bytes
[23:24] <brianp1992> so afer i finish installing it, is there a way in the teminal to set the root pasword?
[23:25] <Unit193> Err.. That's not actually supported.
[23:25] <brianp1992> so, i cant     sudo psword
[23:27] <brianp1992> so, i cant     sudo psword
[23:28] <brianp1992> well im restarting now, brb
[23:28] <valdur55> brianp1992, man passwd
[23:28] <knome> brianp1992, please do not enable the root account
[23:29] <Unit193> !root
[23:31] <mongy> ugh, the times I copy a lage file to my home or somewhwere, and it appears at like for example 92mb, when it's 2.8gb.. no matter how much I reload/refresh it stays at that.  I quite thunar and reload, bam there is it.
[23:32] <mongy> lage=large
[23:33] <knome> :<
[23:33] <Unit193> ls -lh and I use a mix of pcmanfm and thunar, both are good for different reasons.
[23:50] <mongy> I'm really not using 2 file managers like that.  meh
