| [04:51] <nerous2> it keeps crashing on me | |
| [04:56] <somerville32> I guess it crashed again :P | |
| [09:02] <somerville32> TheSheep, Would you be able to keep me an SVG icon that conforms to the current style of Xubuntu for the Xubuntu applications menu? | |
| [09:02] <somerville32> It is currently a png and hence I don't think it scales very nicely | |
| [09:14] <TheSheep> somerville32: I already made one and uploaded to the wiki | |
| [09:14] <TheSheep> somerville32: I think 1.5 years ago | |
| [09:14] <somerville32> TheSheep, Link? | |
| [09:21] <TheSheep> searching the ubuntu wiki is surely slow | |
| [09:23] <TheSheep> somerville32: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Artwork/Feisty | |
| [09:23] <TheSheep> somerville32: see under 'Logo' | |
| [09:23] <TheSheep> a year ago | |
| [09:25] <TheSheep> Ah, distinctly I rememeber, it was in the bleak December | |
| [09:26] <TheSheep> And each separate dying ember, wrought its ghost upon the floor | |

| [10:51] <nanbudh> how can i check for signal strength of my wifi card on my xubuntu box? | |
| [11:00] <nanbudh> the nm applet which is installed by default does not show the wifi signal strength. is there anything i can install for that? in system>network>wireless-connection-properties when i open the list of avalable networks it show "NETGEAR 17%" is this signal strength? if yes then should 17% at least open a page or two? | |
| [11:36] <witozzo> that is the signal strangth ;) and it is quite low to be usable in my opinion | |
| [12:02] <nanbudh> witozzo: okay so at least it means that all is installed properly. But the strange thing is that a newer windows laptop placed besides the errrant xubuntu desktop picks up internet very well. could it be that OS is making a difference or is it purely a hardware issue? | |
| [12:05] <witozzo> well, it should be just an hardware issue | |
| [12:08] <TheSheep> nanbudh: check if it's the smae network | |
| [12:08] <TheSheep> same | |
| [12:09] <nanbudh> its the same network i am sure of it. there is no other network picked up. | |
| [12:11] <nanbudh> the signal strength should not be this weak, it just a 15 mtrs away max. and not too many walls too. has to be card hardware issue | |

| [16:33] <TheSheep> if there was a singl;e best one, it would be the default | |
| [16:34] <TheSheep> I use the vlc one, but I don't watch video often | |
| [16:40] <stone[no]> TheSheep: Thanks, I'll give it a go. | |
| [17:20] <white_eagle> I didn't knew,but xfce is really nice! | |
| [17:23] <TheSheep> it can be made nice, yes | |
| [17:48] <patientfox> what's a way to find out my screen resolution in x? | |
| [18:25] <texnicer> Moin | |
| [18:27] <texnicer> I found a strange behaviour after installin Gutsy Gibbon: while mountin <something LIKE USB-Stick or USB-HDD> this mount is rather unstable and will umount after randomly and approximatly 3min... anyone can give me a clue on that? Which information are needed? TIA. | |
| [18:27] <TheSheep> texnicer: try looking at the end of your dmesg | |
| [18:27] <texnicer> rgr | |
| [18:28] <TheSheep> texnicer: it might be something with the cable or the hardware | |
| [18:28] <texnicer> TheSheep: hm... looks like the HUB is doing trouble.. | |
| [18:29] <texnicer> port 1 disabled by HUB (EMI?) re-enabeling | |
| [18:30] <texnicer> hm... I found that problem with my USB directly attached to the computer, too. But this is definitly a HW prob, I see | |
| [18:32] <texnicer> TheSheep: now I got the errormessage: scsi 12:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device \newline FAT: Directory bread (block1..56) failed. | |
| [18:32] <texnicer> what could this mean. HDD error? | |
| [18:32] <texnicer> hm fs-error or problems mounting an ubuntusystem on an ubuntusystem? | |
| [18:33] <TheSheep> no, I think that just the filesystem module couldn't read from/write to the device (because it got disconnected at lower layer) | |
| [18:34] <texnicer> TheSheep: ok. I check forums on that. Trying direct attach later. Thank you for help | |
| [18:40] <texnicer> TheSheep: Direct connect makes it stable. Just one more: Using an USB-Stick, which fs would you prefer if you also have to transfer between win/linux? | |
| [18:41] <TheSheep> texnicer: fat, unfortunately | |
| [18:41] <TheSheep> texnicer: unless you are willing to install additional drivers on the windows | |
| [18:42] <texnicer> what about FAT32 . which makes the mount type -t vfat <- is that right? | |
| [18:42] <texnicer> *LOL* saw new GIMP splash ... | |
| [18:42] <texnicer> nice balloon | |
| [18:43] <TheSheep> texnicer: yes, I meant fat32, mount should actually autodetect the filesystem type | |
| [18:43] <texnicer> copy on that | |
| [18:43] <TheSheep> texnicer: so you can skip that -t | |
| [18:43] <texnicer> thx for help you really saved my evening =) | |

| [19:35] <maxamillion> Ven]n: in the keyboard settings in settings manager | |
| [19:35] <maxamillion> Ven]n: you will have to create a custom keyboard "profile" but it will copy all the defaults automatically to your new one and then allow you to add your own | |

| [20:02] <TheSheep> qwerku2: then don't | |
| [20:02] <qwerku2> lol | |
| [20:02] <qwerku2> well | |
| [20:02] <TheSheep> no, really, don't fix things that work | |
| [20:02] <qwerku2> but this time, eveything worked fine | |
| [20:02] <qwerku2> :) | |
| [20:03] <qwerku2> i was hapily surprised to discover my fbconsole AGAIN | |
| [20:03] <qwerku2> that's why I'm here | |
| [20:03] <qwerku2> since i tried to solve that problem a few month ago | |
| [20:03] <qwerku2> i'm very interested in the "official" solution | |
| [20:04] <qwerku2> en clair: what was fucked up ? | |
| [20:04] <qwerku2> So, does anyone here know about the ex-fbconsole problem ? | |
| [20:06] <Ven]n> why does wifi asks for password on keyring? | |
| [20:06] <TheSheep> qwerku2: please don't swear, have you checked the forums? | |
| [20:07] <TheSheep> qwerku2: what's the problem exactly? | |
| [20:07] <TheSheep> Ven]n: to be able to access your stored passwords | |
| [20:08] <qwerku2> TheSheep: sry. the problem is solved, I just want to know how it has been solved | |
| [20:09] <qwerku2> after the 7.10 upgrade, most of us lost the usual frame buffer console | |
| [20:09] <qwerku2> just black screen | |
| [20:10] <qwerku2> there was quite a lot of litterature about some hacks to fix it, but nothing very conclusive | |
| [20:10] <TheSheep> if it was reported and fixed, then it will be in the bug database | |
| [20:10] <qwerku2> and now, i just update my system | |
| [20:10] <TheSheep> http://bugs.ubuntu.com | |

| [20:34] <qwerku2> blank out everything | |
| [20:34] <qwerku2> and put the minimum required | |

| [20:34] <qwerku2> looks like a connection problem to me | |

| [20:35] <Ven]n> im was uncertain if i should uncomment all of them | |
| [20:35] <Ven]n> hehe | |
| [20:36] <TheSheep> Ven]n: you can use system->software sources | |
| [20:36] <TheSheep> Ven]n: I'd leave out the 'proposed' upgrades | |
| [20:36] <TheSheep> Ven]n: the yare not tested | |
| [20:36] <Ven]n> ok.. if i use the software sources | |
| [20:37] <Ven]n> canonicalsupported open source software (main) | |
| [20:37] <Ven]n> community-maintained (universe) | |
| [20:37] <Ven]n> proprietary drivers for devices (restriced) | |

| [20:40] <Ven]n> :) | |
| [20:40] <Ven]n> wonder why the installer commented all those out | |
| [20:41] <TheSheep> Ven]n: it probably tried to connect to them and failed | |
| [20:41] <Ven]n> yeah, i hadnt set up wifi | |
| [20:42] <TheSheep> Ven]n: then concluded you have no net access, so it should only use the cd... | |
| [20:42] <Ven]n> was that bad? | |
| [20:42] <Ven]n> :) | |
| [20:43] <TheSheep> it's the expected behavior, works fine for most users :) | |
| [20:43] <Ven]n> can i empty the whole file sources.list and set it up with system->software sources again? | |
| [20:43] <TheSheep> sure | |

| [21:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about welcome back - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | |
| [22:02] <Ven]n> anyone knows how to prevent keyring to asks for password to use wifi? | |
| [22:02] <Ven]n> "the application nm-applet wants access to the default keyring, but its locked" | |
| [22:04] <zoredache> Ven]n: I have seen a few articles that describe how to integrate the keyring with pam | |
| [22:04] <zoredache> so if your keyring password is the same as your login password then it automatically works. But the directions I tried didn't work. | |
| [22:04] <ddddd> isnt there a group to make a user member ? | |
| [22:05] <zoredache> ddddd: sorry? | |

| [22:07] <ddddd> ah | |
| [22:07] <zoredache> I don't think adding a user to a group would make his wpa/wep password available if it is in the keyring | |

| [23:02] <Proto> when i plug in my ipod, Rhythmbox starts automatically. How can i stop this, or use a different program | |
| [23:03] <TheSheep> Proto: open Thunar, go to edit->preferences->advanced->configure volume manager | |
| [23:03] <TheSheep> Proto: second tab | |
| [23:03] <Proto> thanks | |
| [23:05] <Proto> i see where it should be, but i don't see an option for iPods, nor is there anything using Rhythmbox as its program | |
| [23:08] <somerville32> Proto, Do you have ubutnu-desktop installed? | |
| [23:09] <Proto> i'll check. i'm using xubuntu though, of course | |
| [23:15] <Proto> no, i only have xubuntu-desktop | |
| [23:17] <soldats> proto did you fix your ipod/rythmbox problem | |
| [23:17] <Proto> no | |
| [23:18] <Proto> i feel like i'm closer though :-) | |
| [23:18] <soldats> do you use rythmbox for your ipod or do you use something else | |
| [23:18] <Proto> i'd like to use gtkpod | |
| [23:19] <soldats> i think if you go to edit > plugins and remove the check next to ipod support it wont pop up. i left my ipod at work so i cant check | |
| [23:19] <soldats> from rythmbox | |
| [23:27] <march> removing the check next to ipod support works here ;) | |
| [23:28] <march> goodnight :) | |
