[03:10] <sp4z> Hi, I have the following problem when connecting to a cisco vpn using VPNC and trying to ping anything in the new network "ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted" cant ssh or anything
[03:11] <sp4z> anyone know how to fix?
[03:12] <holstein> you've checked http://blog.technogeek.biz/2009/05/ping-sendmsg-operation-not-permitted-in.html and other places?
[03:13] <sp4z> holstein, yep
[03:13] <holstein> any further errors?
[03:14] <sp4z> holstein, ipmasq is not a command on my system
[03:25] <zhuang> Why can't I see my programs that are currently open in the taskbar?
[03:29] <holstein> maybe you got rid of the area that displays open applications... maybe you are on a different desktop and have it setup where you can only see the ones running on the others...
[03:30] <zhuang> i do have other desktops than XFCE...gnome, scrotwm and a few others that I can access through gdm...
[03:30] <zhuang> is this what you are referring to?
[03:30] <holstein> nope... workspaces... virtual desktops... whatever you want to call them
[03:30] <zhuang> nope
[03:31] <holstein> OK.. then you have removed the open application viewer
[03:31] <zhuang> actually, when I roll my scroll on my mouse, i go from my open windows to my desktop
[03:31] <zhuang> oh
[03:31] <zhuang> k
[03:31] <holstein> yup... you go to other virtual desktops... that can be it
[03:31] <holstein> if you dont use them, get rid of them
[03:32] <zhuang> okay, i have my workspaces set to 1 now
[03:33] <zhuang> uhm, for whatever reason, after doing alt+f2, and typing in xfce4-panel
[03:33] <zhuang> and running it, i still dont see anything that displays my open applications
[03:34] <holstein> OK.. its something you can add or remove from the panel
[03:34] <zhuang> if it makes any difference, i downloaded the xubuntu de from ubuntu software center while i was in the GNOMEclassic DE, then when I was prompted to choose the setup, I chose my custom open, and it created 1 panel for me
[03:34] <holstein> i would suggest either loading up the live CD, or making a new user account.. look in there and learn about what you need to have for that functionality
[03:34] <zhuang> well i'm currently on firefox searching but i haven't been able to find anything
[03:35] <McGuyver> on my panel it's called "Window Buttons"
[03:37] <zhuang> just tried xfce4 --replace in alt+f2 because a user on xubuntu forums is having the same problem...no dice
[03:38] <holstein> zhuang: correct.. its something that has been removed from the panel
[03:38] <holstein> restarting or starting the panel wont help since its not containing that functionality in the current state
[03:38] <zhuang> ah, i see. can't replace something that isnt even there...
[03:38] <zhuang> ye
[03:38] <holstein> you can see the default layout in the live CD, or in a new user account though
[03:39] <zhuang> brb
[03:57] <lighta> hoi
[03:57] <lighta> hey there no ant channel ?
[04:02] <holstein> ant?
[04:48] <newguy> Hi all
[05:23] <beata> Heya, I'm going to look into it more tomorrow (near bedtime): I have display corruption on shutdown, on two different systems. I'll need to check if it does it with a plain install. Just wondered if any y'all had it happen.
[06:28] <dbb> hi all - I just wanted to share with you the good news, that the XUbuntu-based OSGeo Live Disk v5.5 has gone golden master.. due to be handed out to most attendees at 10 international conferences in the next 6 months, so I hear.. thanks XUbuntu
[06:44] <nanotube> dbb: nice! :)
[08:23] <NyLes> hi, how will i know if Xubuntu is using the right driver for my video card?
[08:47] <well_laid_lawn> NyLes: lspci | grep -i vga   will tell what card it is and then check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what driver is being used
[09:27] <NyLes> hi, i have an ATI video card, and Ubuntu only use vesa, how will  i force ubuntu to use ati driver?
[09:28] <TheSheep> !ati
[11:03] <NyLes> help, I've tried glxgears and the highest FPS is only 53.. what am i missing?
[11:21] <bazhang> NyLes, a good video card
[11:36] <NyLes> !ati
[12:07] <Kingsy> guys, how do you change file associations in xubuntu ?
[12:10] <Starn> i know.. this is not the right place that #windows probably is.. but i confused them or they confused me.. one of the two.. i am wanting to add a bash command i guess into the windows terminal..  i just wanna run irssi without having to type cd C:\irssi\   than ./irssi-cmd.bat   just to load it... i would much rather do like in xubuntu and type irssi  than it load.. like magic..
[12:10] <Starn> i am hoping some one uses windows and is good at it.. and uses xubuntu.. to understand what i just said.
[12:11] <Kingsy> a bash command? you mean add irssi to the path? can you even run irssi on windows?
[12:12] <Starn> yeah they have a native port on windows i am actually using it.. almost half the apps i use on xubuntu is on windows even gedit and nano..
[12:12] <Starn> even my music player clementine.
[12:13] <Starn> pretty shocking huh Kingsy ? it's the beauty of open source.. often works on all OS's..
[12:13] <Kingsy> anyway, just add the binary to your windows path so you can run it with "irssi"
[12:13] <Kingsy> haha yeah
[12:14] <Starn> Kingsy: how do i do that?? i don't know anything about windows in this department :( also would it be possible for you to pm me or explain in #windows so we don't get into trouble? lol
[12:15] <Kingsy> Starn: yeah this isnt the place .. I would google it
[12:16] <Starn> google gave me a list of very confusing stuff.. ugh... linux so much easier ..
[13:02] <Thermi> whoever manages http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/oneiric/release/ ... SHAME ON YOU!
[13:03] <Starn> what for Thermi ?
[13:03] <Thermi> try to download a torrent.
[13:03] <Thermi> just try.
[13:03] <Thermi> the .torrent file.
[13:03] <Thermi> it will give you an error
[13:03] <Starn> <--- in windows.. scared to get a virus.
[13:04] <Thermi> oh
[13:04] <Thermi> isos don't work
[13:04] <Thermi> but .torrents do now
[13:04] <Thermi> what. the .fuck
[13:04] <bazhang> Thermi, no cursing here
[13:04] <Thermi> sry
[13:04] <Starn> i don't.. yeah ok bazhang just said it nvm.. was going to say i don't think we're allowed to say things like that.
[13:05] <Pici> Whats the issue.  I can download the torrent file itself just fine here.
[13:05] <bazhang> works perfectly here Thermi
[13:06] <Starn> so no virus? if not i can test as well
[13:06] <bazhang> no virus
[13:07] <Pici> Why would there be a virus on a file hosted on one of the main Ubuntu mirrors?
[13:07] <Starn> i don't know i just now noticed it was on the main mirrors...
[13:07] <Starn> Thermi: it works just fine.. even a very fast download speed..
[13:08] <Starn> do you have your torrent client setup correctly? as well as fwd'ed ports if needed?
[13:08] <bazhang> yep, maxing my dl speed
[13:09] <Starn> appears to have a lot of seeders.. Thermi what torrent program are you using maybe someone can help make sure it's setup properly?
[13:13] <Starn> hey bazhang you any good configuring sound under xubuntu?
[13:16] <Thermi> Starn the problem was, that there were .iso files in the same directory, so i first tried those, but it failed.
[13:17] <Thermi> Why can i even see them if they aren't supposed to be downloaded=
[13:17] <Thermi> ?
[13:20] <Starn> umm? i'm not 100% sure what you asked Thermi. but if i understood.. it's because your os displays files in the middle of being downloaded.. and also saves portions of the files even when canceled?
[13:20] <Thermi> no
[13:20] <Thermi> you got it wrong
[13:20] <Thermi> i'm talking about http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/oneiric/release/
[13:21] <Starn> yes.. and the .torrent works just fine.
[13:21] <Thermi> the .iso files give me Forbidden.
[13:21] <Thermi> Why am I seeing them, if i'm not supposed to try to download them?
[13:21] <Thermi> and why are they even there
[13:21] <Starn> it's probably so the .torrent can access the files.
[13:22] <Starn> the files have to be seeded from somewhere before anyone else can seed.
[13:22] <Thermi> you mean the server torrent.ubuntu.com is also a seeder for the torrent?
[13:22] <Starn> i believe so.
[13:22] <Thermi> well that makes sense then
[13:22] <Starn> it's how blizzard works for their torrent downloads.
[13:23] <Starn> it just saves bandwidth to have more seeders for the original seed.
[13:26] <Starn> hey in irssi how do i close a channel?? i kinda have a lot of channels.....
[13:28] <Pici> /wc to close a window
[13:28] <Starn> thanks Pici.
[15:33] <xsl> is there a way to define the positioning of a panel that does not use positioning="x=number y=number" but use positioning"x=bottom y=bottom"
[16:03] <kuldeepdhaka> what is the minimum hdd size require for xubuntu installation....
[16:03] <kuldeepdhaka> what is the minimum hdd size require for xubuntu installation?
[16:03] <holstein> i would say 8gb's would be comfortable.. i would think fitting on 4gb's would be tight
[16:04] <kuldeepdhaka> will it fit on a 4gb pendrive
[16:04] <holstein> you can try it.. i think it'll be tight
[16:05] <holstein> im not a big fan of the persistent live usb installs, but that might be an excellent case for one
[16:05] <kuldeepdhaka> is there any linux that is graphical ,user friendly  and can run on a thin client
[16:06] <kuldeepdhaka> want to use thin client as os
[16:06] <kuldeepdhaka> personal computr
[16:06] <holstein> depends on the hardware what performance you should get, but id say any should do the job
[16:07] <kuldeepdhaka> 1Ghz processor, vio ,,,1gb harddisk,512 mb ram
[16:08] <holstein> sure.. it wont matter the specs so much as the specific hardware vendors and driver support... its just a computer for all intents and purposes.. the fact that its a "thin client" wont matter
[16:08] <kuldeepdhaka> will xubuntu will install on 3.8 GB
[16:09] <holstein> kuldeepdhaka: you can try it... i would want 6+gb's
[16:09] <holstein> you can always do the live persistent thing which should be a little bigger than the iso image
[16:09] <holstein> or, just get a bigger USB stick for cheap
[16:09] <kuldeepdhaka> ok
[16:10] <kuldeepdhaka> is thr any other linux that can work
[16:11] <holstein> kuldeepdhaka: sure.. *any* should work
[16:14] <kuldeepdhaka> i need a linux that can work like os[ubuntu,fedora,debian] but have light graphics and can fit on a 3.8 gb Stick...
[16:16] <holstein> kuldeepdhaka: cool.. if you do a live persistent install and *any* of those.. that should be slightly larger than the downloaded iso image, which should be around 700mb's.. OR you can try something like puppy linux or knoppix.. literally *any* of them should work with that hardware, and all of the run live
[16:17] <holstein> i say try them live, and install.. you wont break any USB sticks trying to install, and it shouldnt take long either (maybe even only 15 minutes)
[16:36] <kuldeepdhaka> holstein,
[16:37] <kuldeepdhaka> thnx
[16:37] <kuldeepdhaka> holstein, thank you
[17:58] <leo-unglaub> hi guys, witch backup toold do you reccoment for non-technical people like my mom
[17:58] <Sysi> deja-dup
[17:58] <leo-unglaub> normaly i use rsync, but in her case a versioning would be nice to
[17:59] <leo-unglaub> Sysi: is this tool working with thunar integration? or is it stand alone?
[18:00] <Sysi> separate app
[18:01] <leo-unglaub> okay, thanks!
[18:36] <lartza> How big of an upgrade will 12.04 be? Will it be seamless to upgrade?
[18:37] <lartza> I noticed I am always installing ubuntu and it's deriatives right before the next release...
[18:52] <beata> I end up doing much the same... then reverting back because they've done over the UI yet again. At least with xubuntu, even though I don't have the UI I want, I have one I can live with. ;)
[18:53] <ph0x1337> have internal mic issues on xubuntu 11.10
[20:47] <nelson8874> hi
[20:49] <baizon> hi hi
[20:52] <nelson8874> I have xubuntu 11.10. I changed the definitions of the mouse to move the slowest (definitions/definitions manager/mouse), but still i think it moves to fast. Is it possible to make it moves MORE slower?
[20:54] <nelson8874> I have xubuntu 11.10. I changed the definitions of the mouse to move the slowest (definitions/definitions manager/mouse), but still i think it moves to fast. Is it possible to make it moves MORE slower?
[21:39] <nelson8874> I have xubuntu 11.10. I changed the definitions of the mouse to move the slowest (definitions/definitions manager/mouse), but still i think it moves to fast. Is it possible to make it moves MORE slower?
[21:43] <nelson8874> please, someone?
[23:19] <ChristopherNg> knome: need to speak asap
[23:20] <ChristopherNg> let me know when you are there or i will need to send you a mail, you are tougher to get hold of than Obama.
[23:22] <Myrtti> ChristopherNg: it's 1.21AM in Finland...
[23:22] <ChristopherNg> Myrtti: he is finnish?
[23:22] <Myrtti> yup
[23:22] <ChristopherNg> I see thought he was american
[23:22] <ChristopherNg> where are you from?
[23:23] <ChristopherNg> well i guess europe aswell
[23:23] <ChristopherNg> just thought more americans here
[23:23] <Myrtti> Finland
[23:25] <GridCube> ChristopherNg, thats a pretty wrong guess :P
[23:38] <donavan01> so I switched over to xubuntu desktop and wondered if there is a way to get the icons off the desktop and just have them accessible from the launcher (ADW I think)
[23:38] <GridCube> ADW?
[23:39] <donavan01> what ever the launch at the bottom is ... reminds me of ADW from a few years back probably isnt
[23:44] <donavan01> my bad it was AWN not ADW ... too much time in android world I guess
[23:47] <GridCube> donavan01, its just a panel
[23:48] <GridCube> if you want more launchers on it, drag and drop from the drop down start menu to the panel
[23:49] <GridCube> you can configure the desktop to not show any icon whatsoever, but i usually let the automount icon on, just so when using a pendrive it appears on the desktops
[23:49] <donavan01> no its not the launcher that is the issue I didnt want the icons on my desktop I have a few drive partitions that I dont want to show up becasue there factory restore and my windows partition
[23:51] <GridCube> !fstab | edit fstab donavan01, adding the disks to automount on startup on some directory and they wont show up in the desktop anymore
[23:55] <knome> ChristopherNg, humm?
[23:55] <knome> Myrtti, are you suggesting i'm in bed at 1am?
[23:59] <Myrtti> yea
[23:59] <Myrtti> I am
[23:59] <Myrtti> gn
