[04:21] <ironhoof> I was writting a program, and it exited unexpectedly, and my screen is stuck in 640x480 because it was fullscreen, can I reset it via terminal?
[04:23] <holstein> i would probably just logout and back in
[04:23] <ironhoof> If I could log back out to the login screen it should reset, but my menu is kind of out of reach.
[04:24] <ironhoof> oh, nvm dissregard thanks!
[04:24] <holstein> i still might must tty and reboot.. never know what crashed
[04:25] <ironhoof> I dropped a pointer happens, will reboot thanks for your help.

[17:02] <xubuntu378> Hi
[17:02] <xubuntu378> i have a problem with parole
[17:02] <xubuntu378> could anybody help me?
[17:04] <baizon> !ask | xubuntu378
[17:06] <xubuntu378> Parole gives me that error when i open a video "Gstreamer backend error Configured videosink video is not working" ; i have al the gstreamer librarys
[17:21] <xubuntu378> (parole:7630): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.32.3/./gobject/gsignal.c:2572: instance `0xb244f1c0' has no handler with id `464'
[17:35] <Pezikrypt> I currently have my XUbuntu-64bit Virtualization OS running via VMPlayer, and I have the network running via NAT. I want to give the VM it's own IP, and so I would do bridged-mode, but it isn't working. The network connection is via Wifi.
[17:35] <Pezikrypt> Any thoughts on to how to get Bridged-Mode working? The Host OS is Windows 7.
[17:47] <TheSheep> Pezikrypt: I think you need to refer to the host's operating system documentation
[17:47] <TheSheep> Pezikrypt: nothing special to do in the vm itself
[17:50] <Pezikrypt> No, I need to extract the Virtual Network Editor from VMWorkstation 9.
[17:51] <TheSheep> whatever you need to do, you don't do it in xubuntu, so we can't help you there
[17:51] <Pezikrypt> Yeah.. :/
[22:33] <xubuntu789> Hi, have been Xubuntu for a a week or so now and a few things have become apparent, sometimes I'm writing and all of a sudden text will start appearing in an unitended part of the document. Any idea why this is? it didn't happen with my original Mac operating system.
[22:35] <xubuntu789> Could it be that my native system was more forgiving of ageing hardware? could it be fixed by just getting a new keyboard?
[22:36] <TheSheep> xubuntu789: it's probably because you are touching your touchpad accidentally and clickig, thus moving your mouse cursor
[22:37] <TheSheep> xubuntu789: there is a daemon that can temporarily disable the touchpad while you are typing
[22:38] <xubuntu789> How do I sort this out?
[22:40] <xubuntu789> Sorry- just to explain I'm very new to this so Its sometimes difficult to ask the right question- I'm not even sure what Daemon is!
[22:41] <TheSheep> let me find a tutorial
[22:45] <Papa-Smurf> Hi
[22:45] <xubuntu789> Thanks
[22:46] <Papa-Smurf> Are all port closed by default with xubuntu?
[22:47] <torax> no
[22:48] <TheSheep> Papa-Smurf: you can easily check that with 'netstat -l'
[22:49] <TheSheep> xubuntu789: ok, so I didn't find a tutorial for the recent ubuntu, as ubuntu has it now build in, but the solution is to start the command 'syndaemon -i 1 -d' when you log in
[22:49] <TheSheep> xubuntu789: if you go to settings manager->startup and sessions
[22:49] <TheSheep> xubuntu789: then you can add that command there to be run automatically
[22:50] <TheSheep> xubuntu789: you can also test it in a terminal
[22:50] <TheSheep> the -i 1 tells it to enable touchpad 1 second after you stopped typing
[22:50] <TheSheep> you can tweak it to taste
[22:53] <xubuntu789> That's amazing- thank you for your help!
[22:53] <Papa-Smurf> TheSheep,  I am just listening through 22
[22:54] <Papa-Smurf> TheSheep but i want to listed in other ports
[22:55] <TheSheep> Papa-Smurf: then you need to start the right servers for those services
[22:56] <TheSheep> Papa-Smurf: what kind of services do you want to provide?
[22:56] <Papa-Smurf> TheSheep, start the right services?
[22:56] <Papa-Smurf> I want to open the ports to play WoW
[22:57] <TheSheep> Papa-Smurf: usually when you listen on a port, it's so that the other computers can connect to them and send or receive some data -- what kind of data depends on what kind of service you run
[22:57] <TheSheep> Papa-Smurf: so you can have a web server, for example, or an ssh server, or an ftp, or vnc, etc.
[23:00] <Papa-Smurf> TheSheep I need to use and app that uses the port 3724 for inbound/outbound connections
[23:00] <Papa-Smurf> *an
[23:02] <TheSheep> Papa-Smurf: you don't need to do anything special on your computer for that
[23:03] <TheSheep> Papa-Smurf: but if you are on a private network behind NAT, then you (or a network administrator) may need to forward that port to your computer on the router
[23:03] <TheSheep> Papa-Smurf: but that's not in any way specific to xubuntu or linux
[23:04] <Papa-Smurf> TheSheep, OK but i am in a private network who i am the network administrator
[23:04] <TheSheep> Papa-Smurf: then refer to your router's manual
[23:05] <TheSheep> Papa-Smurf: you can also try asking at ##networking
[23:05] <TheSheep> Papa-Smurf: be sure to specify the make and model of your router when you do
[23:06] <Papa-Smurf> TheSheep maybe is something of my ISP
[23:06] <TheSheep> that is also possible
[23:08] <Papa-Smurf> TheSheep thanks man
[23:08] <Papa-Smurf> I understood today that ports in linux
[23:08] <Papa-Smurf> only opens when a service is listening through that specific port
[23:09] <TheSheep> it's the same on windows, really, and all other operating system -- they share the same code for their network stacks
[23:09] <TheSheep> except that windows will have a lot of services already running by default
[23:10] <Papa-Smurf> i understand
[23:18] <Papa-Smurf> thanks TheSheep
[23:18] <Papa-Smurf> have a very nice day
[23:18] <Papa-Smurf> take care
[23:53] <xubuntu959> hello
