[00:04] <kb9ylw> Is there an easy way to configure Xubuntu to "print" to a PostScript file, for later printing elsewhere?
[00:04] <recon_lap> kb9ylw: should be, think print to pdf is built in
[00:05]  * kb9ylw tries it
[00:05] <recon_lap> kb9ylw: just print to file
[00:07] <kb9ylw> That'll work. Thanks!
[00:07] <kb9ylw> I honestly didn't expect that to work out of the box.
[00:07] <recon_lap> lot in the linux box these day,
[01:11] <xubuntu395> Aight, anyone have a minute?  I'm having some problems with my internet connection on my xubuntu machine.
[01:12] <recon_lap> xubuntu395: sure, what the problem
[01:13] <xubuntu395> Aight, I'm not getting any connection to the cable modem.  The card  is an nVidia 10/100/1000 network card.  Dual booting with windows 7, which is establishing a connection.
[01:14] <xubuntu395> I have a feeling its a driver issue but nVidia drivers are available with Xubuntu distros, right?
[01:14] <kb9ylw> xubuntu395: Do you have just the one computer plugged into your modem?
[01:14] <xubuntu395> Two
[01:14] <kb9ylw> xubuntu395: via a router?
[01:15] <xubuntu395> No, in the modem
[01:15] <kb9ylw> brb
[01:16] <kb9ylw> How are they connected to the modem?
[01:16] <xubuntu395> Ethernet cable.
[01:16] <xubuntu395> Cat5
[01:17] <kb9ylw> xubuntu395: Does the modem have two LAN ports on it then?
[01:17] <xubuntu395> If this helps:  It cropped up during the last batch of updates.  I've rolled as far back as 11.10, but no luck
[01:17] <xubuntu395> 4
[01:17] <kb9ylw> Ah, so it's a modem with a built-in router then.
[01:19] <xubuntu395_> sorry, got disconnected
[01:19] <kb9ylw> Ah, so it's a modem with a built-in router then.
[01:19] <recon_lap> xubuntu395: can you paste the output of nm-tool
[01:20] <xubuntu395_> State: disconnect
[01:20] <recon_lap> xubuntu395 : into a pastbin that is
[01:20] <xubuntu395_> Uh one sec.  Lemme check
[01:23] <xubuntu395_> http://pastebin.com/UAVECtFm
[01:27] <recon_lap> hmm, not much there, can you paste lshw -C network
[01:29] <xubuntu395_> sure one min
[01:35] <xubuntu395_> http://pastebin.com/q5KeMDuf
[01:35] <xubuntu395_> Sorry bout the wait
[01:38] <recon_lap> xubuntu395_: no worries, just a couple of questions about the card, is it new, did it work before, are you trying to get a wired connection or wireless connection?
[01:39] <xubuntu395_> it's about as old as the mother board (about 5 years now methinks), it worked before the last set of updates for 12.04, and trying to get a wired connection
[01:40] <xubuntu395_> I'm running 11.10 now since I first tried rolling back
[01:40] <exhugo> hi there
[01:41] <exhugo> It is not possible drag and drop items in xubuntu's 12.10 beta2 main menu editor
[01:41] <exhugo> is it a bug?
[01:41] <recon_lap> xubuntu395_: what version of ubuntu did you upgrade from?
[01:42] <exhugo> installed fresh ISO
[01:43] <exhugo> Is there any alternative main menu editor with GUI?
[01:43] <xubuntu395_> I had 12.04, tried using the old disk (which was scratched), tried burning new 12.04 disks which kept crashing (3 of them in a row), and went back to 11.10 disk
[01:46] <recon_lap> xubuntu395_: ok, so you got 11.10 now, you had a bad 12.04 install, and you started from11.10 originally with working wired connection?
[01:46] <xubuntu395_> yes.
[01:52] <recon_lap> xubuntu395_: bit stumped, seems like every thing OS wise is ok as far as i can see. you got a driver. need to find some more information
[01:53] <xubuntu395_> aight
[01:53] <recon_lap> exhugo: have you tried asking in #xubuntu+1
[01:53] <holastickboy> xubuntu395: have u tried installing xubuntu 12.04 via the usb method?
[01:54] <xubuntu395_> Not yet.
[01:54] <recon_lap> xubuntu395_: can you run sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart from the command line and give the output
[01:54] <xubuntu395_> Sure.  Gimme a bit
[01:56] <xubuntu395_> http://pastebin.com/BGDZjKeF
[01:58] <recon_lap> not much help, how about ifconfig -a
[01:58] <exhugo> recon_lap: not yet. Thank for letting me know about #xubuntu+1
[02:00] <xubuntu395_> http://pastebin.com/mupAH1mj
[02:02] <recon_lap> xubuntu395_: try sudo dhclient eth0
[02:04] <xubuntu395_> recon_lap: getting nothing after about 10 seconds after typing in password
[02:05] <xubuntu395_> It does nothing.  Just returns to the terminal
[02:05] <recon_lap> xubuntu395_: I'm out of ideas, cabling? I assume you connected to a router , is it ok?
[02:06] <xubuntu395_> It's connected; I've got lights on both the router and the machine
[02:08] <zyltoid> is network manager running?
[02:08] <xubuntu395_> lemme open top
[02:09] <recon_lap> xubuntu395_: thats strange
[02:09] <zyltoid> service network-manager status
[02:09] <xubuntu395_> it's running, pid 1010
[02:10] <zyltoid> is enable networking checked when you click on the icon on the panel?
[02:10] <xubuntu395_> zyltoid: yes
[02:12] <zyltoid> is the networking service running?
[02:12] <zyltoid> /etc/init.d/networking status
[02:12] <zyltoid> on arch I had issues if they both were on
[02:12] <zyltoid> it's off for me by default on xubuntu
[02:13] <xubuntu395_> Holy crap!  I get signal!  Main screen turn on!
[02:13] <xubuntu395_> wow
[02:13] <zyltoid> what was it/
[02:14] <xubuntu395_> I've got connection now.  Getting a couple different sites.
[02:14] <zyltoid> cool
[02:14] <zyltoid> wait so only some work?
[02:14] <xubuntu395_> No, they all work
[02:15] <xubuntu395_> I'm just going through a list iteratively to tripple check.
[02:15] <zyltoid> nice
[02:15] <zyltoid> ping google.com, if that works than it's all good
[02:15] <zyltoid> *then
[02:15] <xubuntu395_> Yup
[02:15] <zyltoid> beer time!
[02:15] <zyltoid> celebration
[02:16] <xubuntu395_> Food time.  Put off dinner for four hours to fix this.
[02:16] <zyltoid> (o_o)-c|_|
[02:16] <xubuntu395_> zyltoid, recon_lap:  Thanks for your help.
[02:16] <zyltoid> np, if i did help at all
[02:17] <recon_lap> good that it's fixed, not sure what the fix was though
[02:18] <holastickboy> glad that it all worked out
[02:18] <zyltoid> quantum physics. just looking at the status altered its state
[02:18] <zyltoid> muhahaha
[02:18] <xubuntu395_> think it was network status issue.  Started working when I was wonking with /etc/init.d/networking
[02:18] <recon_lap> xubuntu395_: but will it stay fixed
[02:18] <zyltoid> networking should be off (stopped) if you're using network-manager
[02:19] <zyltoid> i'd update your kernel just in case there's a better driver
[02:19] <xubuntu395_> It's what I'm doing right now.
[02:19] <zyltoid> i got a speed boost from the 12.04 drivers for my wifi card going to 12.10
[02:19] <zyltoid> it was capped at like 300 :|
[02:19] <xubuntu395_> Hm.  Odd.
[02:20] <xubuntu395_> Ah well, I'll let you guys know if I have any other issues (after exhausting what I can find on the forums, etc).
[02:20] <zyltoid> the card is fairly new so support was getting better these past releases
[02:20] <zyltoid> gl
[02:20] <xubuntu395_> Ah, makes sense
[02:21] <xubuntu395_> Anyway, got to eat.  Thanks again.
[02:21] <zyltoid> cya
[02:27] <holastickboy> has anyone managed to get an android device that has at least android 4.0 installed to mount?
[02:27] <holastickboy> seems to be a pretty common issue, but don't seem to have a fix for it
[02:28] <holastickboy> tried my sony xperia arc s and google nexus 7, same issue
[02:39] <markyb86> hello, does the latest xubuntu still run metacity?
[02:41] <zyltoid> nope, xwfm
[02:41] <markyb86> ok thank you
[02:42] <zyltoid> np
[06:14] <xxert44> folks!!
[06:18] <well_laid_lawn> forks!!
[06:18] <Sysi> Hello there good sir.
[10:21] <KawaKurt> hello
[10:24] <KawaKurt> is there anyone who can help me with a small problem with rhytnbox?
[10:24] <KawaKurt> rhythmbox, sorry
[10:29] <Marzatha> if Xubuntu team is lacking manpower why don't concentrate only on LTS releases?
[10:32] <Sysi> they do, but that doesn't give any more time for building them
[10:33] <Sysi> KawaKurt: just ask, somebody hopefully knows, if no you can try #ubuntu
[10:34] <KawaKurt> i have installed rhytmbox and all recommend packages
[10:35] <KawaKurt> it still runs (radio), but when a song changed, the trans mitting stops, a few seconds from last song wil be repeated and then ends transmitting
[10:36] <KawaKurt> then sw begins to search for a tool, but nothing found and i get the error-msg:
[10:37] <KawaKurt> python 2.7 will have a tool to decode html/text msg. shortly translated, i get the msg in german
[10:38] <KawaKurt> which tool  pyhton searching? any ideas?
[10:42] <KawaKurt> this is the msg in german language:
[10:42] <KawaKurt> Python (v2.7) fordert die Installation von Erweiterungen, um Dateien des folgenden Types wiederzugeben: text/html-Decoder
[12:03] <JinRoh> Hello
[12:05] <JinRoh> can somebody help me set up a internet connection on a xubunut laptop via bluetooth and an nokia C5-00
[13:48] <lib> anyone know how i can completely remove xubuntu xfce and replace it with linux mint xfce without losing my home, download, music, etc folders?
[13:49] <bazhang> the mint installer should be able to keep it. ask in mintsupport to be sure
[13:49] <bazhang> !mintsupport | lib
[13:49] <TheSheep> or just back them up
[13:49] <bazhang> or move to a separate partition
[13:51] <lib> yah i dont want to move any files. wouldnt it be easy to replace xubuntu with mint
[13:55] <recon_lap> lib: it's a bit rude looking for help in xubuntu irc channel to leave to go to mint! Do you not think that you should ask in the mint channel?
[13:58] <lib> lol
[13:58] <lib> im using xchat and the default server is xubuntu
[13:59] <David-A> lib: it should be possible. but the details what to do in the mint installer is best asked in a mint channel. tell them if you have home in a separate partitions. or set up a separate home partition before installing it.
[13:59] <David-A> lib: you can change what chat channel to open by default.
[15:43] <smove> hi guys, can you tell me which program provides the following functionality within the notification area of the xfce-panel on xubuntu: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_llm6j4Ts3P1qiw94i.png

[20:23] <_Tristan1> Hello. I have compiz and when windows are minimizing, their contents (not including borders) instantly become transparent as soon as the animation begins. I've tried googling it but found nothing. Anybody know how I could fix this?
[23:52] <rogue780> hi. I'm trying to install Xubuntu 12.04 on a Dell Poweredge SC440 onto a fresh WD 1TB drive. I install successfully (using alternate xubuntu installer), and grub installs successfully with grub-install /dev/sda. When the computer restarts, it says it cannot find a bootable drive. Does anyone have any suggestions to remedy this?
