[01:43] Bonsoirs, ya t'il des gens qui pourais m'aide car j'ai un problemme pour installer mon wifi sur mon linux xubuntu 10.11 ? je suis nouveau [01:45] !fr [01:45] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [01:45] okays merci [03:10] 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] anyone know how to fix? [03:12] you've checked http://blog.technogeek.biz/2009/05/ping-sendmsg-operation-not-permitted-in.html and other places? [03:13] holstein, yep [03:13] any further errors? [03:14] holstein, ipmasq is not a command on my system [03:25] Why can't I see my programs that are currently open in the taskbar? [03:29] 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] i do have other desktops than XFCE...gnome, scrotwm and a few others that I can access through gdm... [03:30] is this what you are referring to? [03:30] nope... workspaces... virtual desktops... whatever you want to call them [03:30] nope [03:31] OK.. then you have removed the open application viewer [03:31] actually, when I roll my scroll on my mouse, i go from my open windows to my desktop [03:31] oh [03:31] k [03:31] yup... you go to other virtual desktops... that can be it [03:31] if you dont use them, get rid of them [03:32] okay, i have my workspaces set to 1 now [03:33] uhm, for whatever reason, after doing alt+f2, and typing in xfce4-panel [03:33] and running it, i still dont see anything that displays my open applications [03:34] OK.. its something you can add or remove from the panel [03:34] 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] 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] well i'm currently on firefox searching but i haven't been able to find anything [03:35] on my panel it's called "Window Buttons" [03:37] just tried xfce4 --replace in alt+f2 because a user on xubuntu forums is having the same problem...no dice [03:38] zhuang: correct.. its something that has been removed from the panel [03:38] restarting or starting the panel wont help since its not containing that functionality in the current state [03:38] ah, i see. can't replace something that isnt even there... [03:38] ye [03:38] you can see the default layout in the live CD, or in a new user account though [03:39] brb [03:57] hoi [03:57] hey there no ant channel ? [04:02] ant? [04:48] Hi all [05:23] 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] 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] dbb: nice! :) [08:23] hi, how will i know if Xubuntu is using the right driver for my video card? [08:47] 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] hi, i have an ATI video card, and Ubuntu only use vesa, how will i force ubuntu to use ati driver? [09:28] !ati [09:28] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto === moylan1 is now known as moylan [11:03] help, I've tried glxgears and the highest FPS is only 53.. what am i missing? [11:21] NyLes, a good video card [11:36] !ati [11:36] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [12:07] guys, how do you change file associations in xubuntu ? [12:10] 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] i am hoping some one uses windows and is good at it.. and uses xubuntu.. to understand what i just said. [12:11] a bash command? you mean add irssi to the path? can you even run irssi on windows? [12:12] 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] even my music player clementine. [12:13] pretty shocking huh Kingsy ? it's the beauty of open source.. often works on all OS's.. [12:13] anyway, just add the binary to your windows path so you can run it with "irssi" [12:13] haha yeah [12:14] 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] Starn: yeah this isnt the place .. I would google it [12:16] google gave me a list of very confusing stuff.. ugh... linux so much easier .. [13:02] whoever manages http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/oneiric/release/ ... SHAME ON YOU! [13:03] what for Thermi ? [13:03] try to download a torrent. [13:03] just try. [13:03] the .torrent file. [13:03] it will give you an error [13:03] <--- in windows.. scared to get a virus. [13:04] oh [13:04] isos don't work [13:04] but .torrents do now [13:04] what. the .fuck [13:04] Thermi, no cursing here [13:04] sry [13:04] 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] Whats the issue. I can download the torrent file itself just fine here. [13:05] works perfectly here Thermi [13:06] so no virus? if not i can test as well [13:06] no virus [13:07] Why would there be a virus on a file hosted on one of the main Ubuntu mirrors? [13:07] i don't know i just now noticed it was on the main mirrors... [13:07] Thermi: it works just fine.. even a very fast download speed.. [13:08] do you have your torrent client setup correctly? as well as fwd'ed ports if needed? [13:08] yep, maxing my dl speed [13:09] 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] hey bazhang you any good configuring sound under xubuntu? [13:16] Starn the problem was, that there were .iso files in the same directory, so i first tried those, but it failed. [13:17] Why can i even see them if they aren't supposed to be downloaded= [13:17] ? [13:20] 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] no [13:20] you got it wrong [13:20] i'm talking about http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/oneiric/release/ [13:21] yes.. and the .torrent works just fine. [13:21] the .iso files give me Forbidden. [13:21] Why am I seeing them, if i'm not supposed to try to download them? [13:21] and why are they even there [13:21] it's probably so the .torrent can access the files. [13:22] the files have to be seeded from somewhere before anyone else can seed. [13:22] you mean the server torrent.ubuntu.com is also a seeder for the torrent? [13:22] i believe so. [13:22] well that makes sense then [13:22] it's how blizzard works for their torrent downloads. [13:23] it just saves bandwidth to have more seeders for the original seed. [13:26] hey in irssi how do i close a channel?? i kinda have a lot of channels..... [13:28] /wc to close a window [13:28] thanks Pici. [15:33] 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] what is the minimum hdd size require for xubuntu installation.... [16:03] what is the minimum hdd size require for xubuntu installation? [16:03] i would say 8gb's would be comfortable.. i would think fitting on 4gb's would be tight [16:04] will it fit on a 4gb pendrive [16:04] you can try it.. i think it'll be tight [16:05] im not a big fan of the persistent live usb installs, but that might be an excellent case for one [16:05] is there any linux that is graphical ,user friendly and can run on a thin client [16:06] want to use thin client as os [16:06] personal computr [16:06] depends on the hardware what performance you should get, but id say any should do the job [16:07] 1Ghz processor, vio ,,,1gb harddisk,512 mb ram [16:08] 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] will xubuntu will install on 3.8 GB [16:09] kuldeepdhaka: you can try it... i would want 6+gb's [16:09] you can always do the live persistent thing which should be a little bigger than the iso image [16:09] or, just get a bigger USB stick for cheap [16:09] ok [16:10] is thr any other linux that can work [16:11] kuldeepdhaka: sure.. *any* should work [16:14] 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] 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] 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] holstein, [16:37] thnx [16:37] holstein, thank you [17:58] hi guys, witch backup toold do you reccoment for non-technical people like my mom [17:58] deja-dup [17:58] normaly i use rsync, but in her case a versioning would be nice to [17:59] Sysi: is this tool working with thunar integration? or is it stand alone? [18:00] separate app [18:01] okay, thanks! [18:36] How big of an upgrade will 12.04 be? Will it be seamless to upgrade? [18:37] I noticed I am always installing ubuntu and it's deriatives right before the next release... [18:52] 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] have internal mic issues on xubuntu 11.10 [20:47] hi [20:49] hi hi [20:52] 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] 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] 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] please, someone? [23:19] knome: need to speak asap [23:20] 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] ChristopherNg: it's 1.21AM in Finland... [23:22] Myrtti: he is finnish? [23:22] yup [23:22] I see thought he was american [23:22] where are you from? [23:23] well i guess europe aswell [23:23] just thought more americans here [23:23] Finland [23:25] ChristopherNg, thats a pretty wrong guess :P [23:38] 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] ADW? [23:39] what ever the launch at the bottom is ... reminds me of ADW from a few years back probably isnt [23:44] my bad it was AWN not ADW ... too much time in android world I guess [23:47] donavan01, its just a panel [23:48] if you want more launchers on it, drag and drop from the drop down start menu to the panel [23:49] 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] 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] !fstab | edit fstab donavan01, adding the disks to automount on startup on some directory and they wont show up in the desktop anymore [23:51] edit fstab donavan01, adding the disks to automount on startup on some directory and they wont show up in the desktop anymore: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [23:55] ChristopherNg, humm? [23:55] Myrtti, are you suggesting i'm in bed at 1am? [23:59] yea [23:59] I am [23:59] gn
