[00:43] <cookiemonster077> can somebody tell  me how to get stage 6 playback in xubuntu
[01:08] <cookiemonster077> how do I use .dmg files. I am told they are just a .iso but when I try to mount it it tells me wrong filesystem
[01:11] <Proto> hi all
[01:11] <zoredache> cookiemonster077: did you find this page? http://baghira.sourceforge.net/dmg.htm
[01:11] <Proto> how can i run a program as root, so it pops up the dialog asking for the root password
[01:12] <zoredache> Proto: you want to run something with a gui prompt?
[01:12] <Proto> some kind of sudo dialog?
[01:12] <Proto> yes
[01:12] <zoredache> use 'gksu application'
[01:12] <Proto> ok
[01:12] <Proto> thx
[01:32] <leche> why is the keyring manager asking me everytime to type password, altough i clicked that checkbox for remembering
[01:48] <zoredache> leche: what do you mean by everytime?  Do you mean you are asked every time at logon?
[01:48] <leche> after logon...
[01:48] <leche> zoredache, i got some apps like gajim that require that keyring thingy
[01:49] <zoredache> right, but once you have opened it during a session you don't have to answer it twice right?
[01:49] <leche> right
[01:49] <leche> but it doesnt remember for startup
[01:49] <zoredache> it isn't supposed to
[01:49] <leche> do i need this libpam thing?
[01:49] <zoredache> yes, the libpam thing is probably what you want.  It is buggy for me though
[01:49] <zoredache> give it a shot
[01:49] <zoredache> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/12/automatically-unlocking-the-default-gnome-keyring-pam-keyring/
[01:50] <leche> thx

[01:51] <leche> thx in advance zoredache :-)
[01:52] <zoredache> well if you do find a working tutorial tell me
[01:54] <leche> i will for sure
[01:55] <leche> this is the one that didnt work
[01:57] <speedcore> seems fast this xfce
[02:16] <cookiemonster077> i solved the divx problem
[02:28] <leche> zoredache, yepp as i said.. this doesnt work
[03:38] <bassinboy> anyone experiencing WM problems? mine is never there, i think it's emerald (i think) that is crashing
[03:38] <bassinboy> is there anyway i can not use emerald
[03:46] <bassinboy> how do you disable compiz ?
[03:48] <Breakage> bassinboy: If your using Xfce, try "xfwm4 --replace"
[03:54] <Breakage> bassinboy: I'm not having prob's with compiz & emerald on xfce on fluxbox atm though. erm check out #compiz-fusion i'm sure someone on there could help you with it.
[04:01] <Breetai> Hi all, does anyone know what options to feed configure to compile your own xfce goodie plugins??
[04:06] <bassinboy> Breakage: thanks i just want to go with xfce4 wm
[04:07] <Breakage> bassinboy: no problem :)
[04:08] <bassinboy> Breakage: i either get another wm is running
[04:08] <bassinboy> or when i killed x, cannot open display
[04:08] <bassinboy> lol
[04:08] <Breakage> :P
[04:09] <bassinboy> dang compiz is still there
[04:10] <Breakage> did you enable to startup in autostart applications? i think thats what its called.
[04:10] <bassinboy> what does the expo plugin do?
[04:10] <Breakage> zoom's out and displays all the desktops in like a tile mode
[04:11] <Breakage> then you can move windows around or zoom in to a workspace
[04:14] <bassinboy> is there a modules autoload conf file?
[04:14] <bassinboy> i've noticed ubuntu likes to be rebooted to make wireless work after i modprobe
[04:18] <Breakage> erm not sure but i know you can autoload modules if you put them in /etc/modules
[04:57] <benjgvps> I need to format a vFat partition into a hfs partition
[04:58] <benjgvps> Any Ideas?
[06:31] <duncanm> hello
[06:32] <duncanm> anyone awake, i'd like to find someone running xubuntu to test out a package
[06:32] <duncanm> it's a normal ubuntu package, afaik, in gutsy (running GNOME), there are no problems
[06:32] <duncanm> but on my laptop running eeexubuntu, it doesn't work
[06:33] <nikolam> i am on amd64
[06:33] <ere4si> did you install it from synaptic?
[06:33] <Wyrmul> I have added a new sound card to my system and I cannot get xubuntu to notice
[06:33] <duncanm> hmm
[06:33] <duncanm> nikolam: can you install mit-scheme and try someone for me?
[06:35] <nikolam> I am strugling to make my stable system operational at all costs. Maybe on some VM but i dont have one installed now.
[06:35] <nikolam> Ok, I will, but as I say, I use amd64
[06:35] <ere4si> Wyrmul, does it show when you type - lspci - in a terminal?
[06:36] <nikolam> I have oly mit-scheme-doc package in synaptic
[06:36] <duncanm> oh
[06:36] <duncanm> nikolam: i guess it's not available on 64bit
[06:36] <duncanm> sigh
[06:36] <Wyrmul> how can I show you without spamming the room?
[06:36] <ere4si> maybe it has dependencies - is there a readme file?
[06:37] <ere4si> !paste | Wyrmul
[06:37] <ubotu> Wyrmul: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:37] <nikolam> maybe we can make some package, i am just in a mood :)
[06:37] <duncanm> nikolam: i don't think it's available for 64 bit
[06:38] <Wyrmul> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53521/
[06:38] <duncanm> anyone else available for a quick test? it'll only take a few minutes
[06:38] <nikolam> duncanm Maybe I can make it from source for amd64? :)
[06:38] <duncanm> nikolam: it's an intepreter, it doesn't generate 64bit code
[06:39] <duncanm> nikolam: so even if you have source, it wouldn't build
[06:39] <ere4si> Wyrmul, an audigy sound card?
[06:39] <nikolam> no i ment to make a package for it for my synaptic :)
[06:39] <Wyrmul> I have a creative Sound Blaster X-fi
[06:39] <duncanm> i don't understand
[06:40] <ere4si> Wyrmul, line four in your paste - creative sb
[06:40] <duncanm> ere4si: do you have a second?
[06:41] <ere4si> Wyrmul, can you right click the sound icon and choose preferences?
[06:41] <ere4si> duncanm,  k
[06:42] <duncanm> ere4si: are you running xubuntu on x86 hardware?
[06:44] <Wyrmul> K, I have "Device #0: VIA 8235"  Amt the Wannabe Master is "Line in, 0"
[06:44] <ere4si> duncanm, I use it on a pent3 for a file sever atm
[06:44] <duncanm> oh
[06:44] <duncanm> i need someone with an X desktop to test it
[06:44] <ere4si> duncanm, is it from source or synaptic?
[06:44] <duncanm> synaptic
[06:45] <duncanm> it's all packages
[06:45] <duncanm> in fact, it's just one package
[06:45] <duncanm> ere4si: if you could apt-get install mit-scheme
[06:45] <ere4si> duncanm, then it's not doing what? pls
[06:45] <duncanm> and once it's installed, run scheme
[06:46] <duncanm> and then, type (edit)
[06:46] <duncanm> if a new window pops up, it means it works, if not, then it proves my point (i guess_
[06:46] <duncanm> ere4si: does that make sense?
[06:47] <ere4si> duncanm, check your permissions would be my first guess
[06:47] <duncanm> it has nothing to do with that
[06:47] <Wyrmul> Well. It looks like there isn't a solution for getting this card working.  Alsa doesn't support it,  And the only driver available seems to be available for 64bit
[06:47] <Wyrmul> thanks anyway
[06:48] <ere4si> Wyrmul, there should be an option to select the audio device rom the right click - preferences

[17:38] <needcoffee> hi, does someone know if it's possible to browse a directory via obex? maybe in a way like with nautilus (nautilus obex://foo)
[17:39] <TheSheep> needcoffee: thunar only supports local browsing
[17:40] <needcoffee> to bad :(
[17:40] <TheSheep> needcoffee: mayb there is a fuse filesystem for that though
[17:40] <needcoffee> the problem is, i need to mount/unmount it on the fly
[17:42] <needcoffee> ahh, i see...thank you TheSheep, i'll try this
[17:55] <Wyrmul> somehow my grub settings were cleared.  I have lost the option to dual boot to my windows xp drive.  I have tried recreating the entry but I haven't had much success.

[18:05] <gorilla3d> Anyone know how to fix my tiny tiny tiny fonts?
[18:05] <gorilla3d> I ran gorilla3d@gorilla3d-desktop:~$ xdpyinfo | grep resolution and got
[18:05] <gorilla3d>  resolution:    10x7 dots per inch
[18:08] <TheSheep> gorilla3d: you can set dpi in your xorg.conf
[18:10] <gorilla3d> TheSheep: http://paste2.org/p/12456 thats what I have :\
[18:10] <TheSheep> gorilla3d: that's font paths
[18:10] <TheSheep> gorilla3d: you want to add a line in the screen section
[18:11] <TheSheep> gorilla3d: with 'option "dpi" "96x96"' for example
[18:11] <gorilla3d> oh..
[18:13] <gorilla3d> TheSheep: whats the function for it?
[18:17] <gorilla3d> nvm I found it Display size
[18:17] <gorilla3d> :)
[18:17] <gorilla3d> thanks
[18:55] <RandyboY> Ive bought myself a new (PCI) screen/graphics card and have installed it in a brand new server. (New as in not used, but probably some years old.) The integrated screencard stops functioning when the new is installed. (Understandably enough..) Ive put the vga in a good old crt screen and plugged s-video in my flat-tv. Both works up to a certain point. That point is the exact moment i press ctrl+d. (Must start up in recovery mode) I can do
[19:20] <cogeno> Ok, I'm not running Xubuntu, but the #linux channel kicks me out for some BS reason regarding a proxy
[19:20] <cogeno> Anyway, I'm trying to remove the bottom panel in kiosk mode on XFCE. Once I put the kiosk mode on, it comes back. Does anyone know how to fix thsi?
[19:21] <TheSheep> cogeno: maybe try #xfce
[19:21] <cogeno> Ah, thank you
[19:41] <furiousphil> well ... i googled a lot but it didn't help:
[19:41] <furiousphil> I want to change the resolution of my login screen. Therefore, I deleted all the low resolutions in the xorg.conf file and just left the 1650x1050 which is the resolution of my tft. The xorg-passage looks like that now:
[19:41] <furiousphil> Section "Monitor"
[19:41] <furiousphil> 	Identifier	"Standardbildschirm"
[19:41] <furiousphil> 	Vendorname	"Samsung"
[21:05] <redwyrm> hi
[21:05] <redwyrm> what's a good GUI for the iptables firewall system in xubuntu?
[21:07] <LetsGo67> I am not getting the "Screen and Graphics Configuration" that was promised in Xubuntu, how can I install it please?
[21:11] <TheSheep> !firewall | redwyrm
[21:11] <ubotu> redwyrm: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[21:12] <RandyboY> Ive bought myself a new (PCI) screen/graphics card and have installed it in a brand new server. (New as in not used, but probably some years old.)

Both works up to a certain point. That point is the exact moment i press ctrl+d. (Must start up in recovery mode) I can do
[21:16] <RandyboY> Maybe remove all installed drivers for the integrated graphics card(if there is a way to find that out)? And install new drivers for that specific card? There is only one problem and that is that i think both uses ati-drivers
[21:48] <philipp__> hello, still got the problem with my login screen resolution ...
[21:48] <philipp__> i cannot change it, even not by editing my xorg.conf file
[21:52] <redwyrm> TheSheep, thanks
[22:26] <RandyboY> Isnt xubuntu suppsed to contain /et/inittab?
[22:27] <RandyboY> /etc/
[22:32] <martyn> Rand - mine doesn't.
[23:09] <bad_cables> hi
