| [00:01] <mini-man> yes, but that reduces the normal 16x16 pixel icons for the menus and launchers | |
| [00:01] <mini-man> my panel is 24px, and everything but tray icons are 16px | |
| [00:01] <mini-man> with a nice amount of padding | |
| [00:02] <mini-man> while tray icons are 24px | |
| [00:58] <Zamboli> hi | |
| [00:58] <Zamboli> im in the middle of an ubuntu install on a new laptop | |
| [00:59] <Zamboli> i have not yet used windows, but can i partition it so i can seal off windows without losing it? | |
| [01:02] <Zamboli> wait wait i have it | |
| [01:16] <cheeseboy> i think opengl broke | |
| [01:17] <cheeseboy> how do i check for sure? | |
| [01:20] <TheSheep> glxinfo | |
| [01:25] <cheeseboy> dont see any errors | |
| [01:25] <cheeseboy> then why is desktop effects failing :( | |
| [02:08] <cephi> can anybody tel me how to get xubuntu to remember my WPA pword? Currently, I have to enter it every time I connect. | |
| [02:37] <DarkTan> is there a special install when using SCSI hard drives? | |
| [02:38] <charlie-tca> DarkTan: not to my knowledge | |
| [02:38] <DarkTan> i'm having issues | |
| [02:38] <charlie-tca> What kind of issues | |
| [02:38] <DarkTan> i have an old IBM Netfinity 5600 Server. 5 20gb SCSI Drives. Every time i try to run the install, it get errors saying the CD is curropted | |
| [02:39] <DarkTan> currupted* | |
| [02:39] <DarkTan> the CD or DVD works fine in another computer, so i tried swapping out CD drives | |
| [02:39] <charlie-tca> Does the cd pass the "Check the CD for defects? | |
| [02:39] <DarkTan> did so three times, same error | |
| [02:39] <DarkTan> Cd passes in a different computer | |
| [02:39] <charlie-tca> Fails in this one, right? | |
| [02:40] <DarkTan> yes | |
| [02:40] <DarkTan> so, i then fire up a different desktop, try to install, works fine | |
| [02:40] <DarkTan> take that CD drive, put it in the IBM, same error | |
| [02:40] <charlie-tca> Last one I had do that, I had to burn another CD to install | |
| [02:40] <charlie-tca> Sounds like that CD drive is bad. | |
| [02:40] <DarkTan> however, when i try to access the CD drives in windows, everythings works fine | |
| [02:40] <DarkTan> except the drive works great in a different comp | |
| [02:40] <DarkTan> and under windows | |
| [02:41] <charlie-tca> Try burning a new install CD, then. That did work for me | |
| [02:41] <DarkTan> tried that as well, same error | |
| [02:41] <DarkTan> Also tried severl older version of live DVD's that i had lying around | |
| [02:42] <DarkTan> i get the menu, starts to load, fails | |
| [02:42] <DarkTan> put the DVD in a different computer, using the same drive, and they work fine | |
| [02:42] <charlie-tca> Got another cd drive you could swap? | |
| [02:42] <DarkTan> i've gine through 5 so far | |
| [02:42] <DarkTan> gone* | |
| [02:43] <charlie-tca> drives? | |
| [02:43] <DarkTan> yep | |
| [02:43] <charlie-tca> What about swapping the cables? | |
| [02:43] <DarkTan> you, know i never thought of that since they work under windows | |
| [02:43] <DarkTan> i'll try that | |
| [02:43] <charlie-tca> Yea, I know. | |
| [02:49] <DarkTan> hmmm....don't currently have a cable long enought | |
| [02:49] <DarkTan> wuth have to obtain one and try that | |
| [02:49] <DarkTan> will* | |
| [02:50] <DarkTan> thanks tho | |
| [02:51] <charlie-tca> good luck | |

| [13:36] <zianello> hi | |
| [13:36] <zianello> someone can help me? | |
| [13:36] <zianello> i have just installed xubuntu 8.04 | |
| [13:36] <blabla2004> :-) | |
| [13:37] <wormsxulla_> blabla2004: try to find the driver somewhere else? | |
| [13:37] <zianello> my wireless driver is an intel 1500 | |
| [13:37] <zianello> but xubuntu doesn't see it | |
| [13:38] <zianello> what i have to do? | |
| [13:41] <blabla2004> wormsxulla_: thanks, i figured it out myself | |
| [13:42] <wormsxulla_> :p | |
| [15:01] <wormsxulla> hello. i'm looking for a GUI to add an item to the system menu in xubuntu 7.10, and i just can't find it | |
| [15:02] <wormsxulla> the closest i found is "appfinder", but i can't find the "menu editor". is there one? | |
| [15:03] <knome> wormsxulla, i'm not 100% sure, but creating a .desktop file isn't hard | |
| [15:03] <wormsxulla> :-( | |
| [15:03] <knome> wormsxulla, (that's the way menu items are added to menu) | |
| [15:03] <charlie-tca> There is no GUI to add to the menus, there is menu editor though | |
| [15:04] <charlie-tca> I am looking for it now | |
| [15:04] <wormsxulla> i'd like to avoid editing text files. i used ubuntu 5.10 in the past, i'm pretty sure there was a menu editor. could it had been removed in xubuntu? | |
| [15:04] <wormsxulla> thanks :) | |
| [15:04] <knome> charlie-tca, imho we should try to create the menu icons for every pkg in the repo rather than telling on how to add them, though | |
| [15:05] <knome> wormsxulla, can you tell me which app it is, if it's one? | |
| [15:05] <wormsxulla> knome: actually, i want to add a manually installed app | |
| [15:05] <knome> wormsxulla, / which pkg in the repo | |
| [15:05] <knome> ok | |
| [15:05] <charlie-tca> knome: agreed, this is 7.10 though | |
| [15:05] <wormsxulla> seamonkey 2.a | |
| [15:05] <knome> charlie-tca, but there's a lot of apps w/o menu icons in 8.04 too | |
| [15:05] <knome> charlie-tca, don't know about 8.10... | |
| [15:06] <wormsxulla> yes, i do understand that i'm using an oldish 7.10, but it's not my own machine, i can't upgrade | |
| [15:07] <charlie-tca> knome: most of the .desktop files are created, in /usr/share/applications but for some reason are not added | |
| [15:07] <wormsxulla> heh | |
| [15:07] <knome> charlie-tca, really? | |
| [15:07] <charlie-tca> yea | |
| [15:08] <knome> charlie-tca, so they are hidden in the .desktop files? | |
| [15:08] <knome> charlie-tca, or...? | |
| [15:08] <charlie-tca> wormsxulla: could you take a look in there and see if your app is listed | |
| [15:08] <charlie-tca> I don't know | |
| [15:08] <knome> well at least gisomount didn't have a .desktop file | |
| [15:08] <wormsxulla> http://forum.xfce.org/index.php?topic=2658.0 <--- that's the proper way to do it masochistically? | |
| [15:09] <charlie-tca> knome: I know when an item doesn't appear, I look in /usr/share/applications to see what to put in my menui | |
| [15:09] <wormsxulla> maybe one need to be sudo to see the menu editor? | |
| [15:09] <wormsxulla> (silly question, surely) | |
| [15:10] <knome> charlie-tca, sure... i do that as well, but there's just not files for every app in the repo | |
| [15:11] <charlie-tca> knome: no, usually they appear after adding the application | |
| [15:11] <knome> charlie-tca, yes usually | |
| [15:11] <wormsxulla> charlie-tca: no, my application is not listed in usr/share/applications | |
| [15:12] <knome> charlie-tca, but even after adding app there is no file in /u/s/a | |
| [15:12] <charlie-tca> okay | |
| [15:12] <wormsxulla> (because i installed it manually by uncompressing the .tar?) | |
| [15:13] <knome> have to go | |
| [15:14] <knome> charlie-tca, let's continue this conversation later :) | |
| [15:14] <charlie-tca> sure | |
| [15:15] <charlie-tca> wormsxulla: still looking | |
| [15:15] <wormsxulla> :) thanks, i am too | |
| [15:17] <wormsxulla> charlie-tca: i found a "create launcher" by right-clicking in the desktop | |
| [15:17] <wormsxulla> could it be it? :) | |
| [15:17] <charlie-tca> But that won't put it in a menu. | |
| [15:17] <wormsxulla> erf :-( | |
| [15:17] <charlie-tca> Does right click Applications give edit menu? | |
| [15:18] <wormsxulla> YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |
| [15:18] <wormsxulla> :) thank you! | |
| [15:18] <wormsxulla> wow. sometimes i just miss the obvious | |
| [15:18] <charlie-tca> Happy to help :) | |
| [15:23] <wormsxulla> now to look for the icon :) | |

| [17:10] <TheSheep> I think that xubuntu doesn't have sounds by default | |

| [17:14] <wormsxulla> Currently find, (s)locate, tracker and beagle are supported as backends. | |
| [17:15] <wormsxulla> but i've seen that many people use "grep". there is not front-end for grep? | |
| [17:20] <vinnl> wormsxulla, well, if you just start typing while browsing a folder with Thunar, that has almost the same effect, and alternatively you could do Edit->Select by Pattern | |

| [17:21] <wormsxulla> cool then, thank you vinnl :) | |
| [17:33] <zizou03> Hello, could anybody help me? How do I list only files starting with hda for instance? something like > ls hda* or something | |
| [17:33] <zizou03> Reason, trying to see what hda number my usb hard drive has, but when I ls in /dev/ I get a million files | |
| [17:33] <Odd-rationale> zizou03: ls | grep hda ? | |
| [17:33] <zizou03> Let me try | |
| [17:34] <Odd-rationale> zizou03: easier hay to find what you want is "sudo fdisk -l" | |
| [17:34] <Odd-rationale> (lowercase L) | |
| [17:34] <zizou03> Ok, cheers odd-rationale | |
| [17:34] <zizou03> I'll give it a shot right now | |
| [17:35] <zizou03> I don't think I have fdisk installed? (Ubuntu server) | |
| [17:35] <Odd-rationale> zizou03: you should... | |
| [17:35] <zizou03> oh | |
| [17:35] <zizou03> yea | |
| [17:36] <zizou03> I see now, sorry, typo >_> | |
| [17:36] <zizou03> Ok | |
| [17:36] <zizou03> Cheers :) | |
| [17:36] <Odd-rationale> np | |
| [17:36] <zizou03> got another question though, can I make my mounting point like in a shared folder ? | |
| [17:37] <zizou03> Or do I need to make a diff share point for the usb hdd? | |
| [17:37] <Odd-rationale> zizou03: you want to share the usb driveover the network? | |
| [17:37] <zizou03> yea, that's the idea | |
| [17:38] <zizou03> I have an old comp with a small hdd, but I have 500gb external drive which I'd like to hook up | |
| [17:38] <zizou03> (and I'm relatively new to unix/linux/networking) | |
| [17:38] <Odd-rationale> zizou03: i thing the easiest way would be to mount the drive to somthing like /media/share then share that folder... | |
| [17:39] <zizou03> Hmm, yea, probably :) | |
| [17:42] <zizou03> Yea, I think that'd be smarter (and it works, so lol) | |
| [17:43] <ron_> alright, so I tried aptoncd, which is basically a way to include all your apps in your /var/cache/apt directory on cd so you can replace them and whatnot if need be, or use them on another computer | |
| [17:44] <ron_> however, the cd/dvd doesn't appear to be appendable, so there could be potentially a lot of wasted space and such if you kept creating new ones. | |
| [17:44] <ron_> but is aptoncd really necessary? | |
| === mini-man_ is now known as mini-man | |
| [17:45] <ron_> couldn't you just copy all the files in /var/cache/apt to a dvd and run dpkg on them all? maybe as $ dpkg *.* ? | |
| [17:45] <ron_> or dpkg *.deb ? | |
| [17:45] <ron_> I think you could do the latter. | |
| [17:46] <ron_> anyone ever tried dpkg on a whole directory? | |
| [17:50] <ron_> and if you're missing some fricking libraries, I can see some really crazy things going on too with dpkg | |
| [18:02] <ron_> dpkg is awesome and powerful, is has -R or --recursive which will do what I want. | |
| [18:02] <ron_> aptoncd looks a bit unnecessary. dpkg probably won't install something if it's already installed. | |
| [19:07] <cephi> can anyone give me a hint about getting xubuntu to remember my WPA pwd? Currently, I have to reenter it every time I log in. | |
| [19:23] <ron_> cephi, I don't have wifi, but isnt' that a good thing? | |
| [19:36] <eirehack> what is Xubuntu Hug Day? | |
| [19:37] <charlie-tca> The day we try to triage as many bugs as possible | |
| [19:37] <cephi> no ron, it would be a bad thing to have no pwd. i want to keep my pwd, i just want my laptop to remember the pwd rather than prompting me for it. | |
| [19:37] <eirehack> i see, how can i help with that then? | |
| [19:38] <charlie-tca> Do you know how to triage already? | |
| [19:38] <eirehack> not yet | |
| [19:39] <charlie-tca> Then I guess you start learning; here is a place to start: | |
| [19:40] <charlie-tca> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Bugs | |
| [19:40] <eirehack> thanks! | |
| [19:40] <charlie-tca> np :) | |
| [19:53] <shirish> hi all, any idea how can I get the nm-applet in xfce/or in xubuntu? | |
| [19:57] <eirehack> shirish: i believe you can find "network-manager" as well as "network-manager-gnome" in the repositories | |
| [19:57] <eirehack> check synaptic | |
| [19:58] <eirehack> the GNOME frontend will also work for you in Xfce (i use it) if you have a systray on a panel | |
| [19:59] <kosmofield> hello, I have a old laptop with 128 mb memory and 20 gb hard drive, will xubuntu work ok? :/ | |
| [20:00] <shirish> eirehack: I have network-manager as well network-manager-gnome installed | |
| [20:00] <shirish> eirehack: I dunno how to get the application in the systray/panel | |
| [20:00] <shirish> eirehack: I dunno how to get the application in the systray on the panel | |
| [20:01] <eirehack> i see. did you have to install those packages yourself? | |
| [20:02] <eirehack> i believe you may need to add it to your Auto-started Apps | |
| [20:02] <shirish> eirehack: yup, both the applications are there and they are installed | |
| [20:02] <shirish> eirehack: how do I do that in xfce? | |
| [20:02] <eirehack> "autostarted apps" should be found in the Settings menu | |
| [20:03] <eirehack> or, on the Settings Manager | |
| [20:03] <shirish> eirehack: I am in the xfce settings manager, I am not seeing any autostarted apps entry here | |
| [20:04] <shirish> I see sessions and startup though, there GNOME services are clicked. | |
| [20:04] <eirehack> is it in the menus? before you click to the Settings Manager. also, which version of Xubuntu are you running? | |
| [20:05] <eirehack> sessions and startup may be what we're looking for | |
| [20:05] <eirehack> sorry--my desktop is Xubuntu 8.04, but right now im on my eee laptop with Xubuntu 7.10, and from what i remember, the menus and settings interface have changed | |
| [20:06] <shirish> I'm actually on 8.10 and using both ubuntu & xubuntu | |
| [20:07] <eirehack> thank you | |
| [20:07] <shirish> sessions and startup has a general and an advanced tab | |
| [20:08] <shirish> in advanced tab if I go it just shows me 3 checkboxes | |
| [20:08] <eirehack> okay, im in that tool as well. it looks like none of that will help. were you able to find "Autostarted Applications" in the 'Start' menu? | |
| [20:09] <shirish> eirehack: nope, there isn't | |
| [20:10] <eirehack> ahh | |
| [20:10] <shirish> eirehack: that's actually the xfce menu that you are talking about | |
| [20:10] <eirehack> which menu are you using? | |
| [20:11] <shirish> eirehack: there is one showing a mouse and its called Xfce Menu | |
| [20:11] <eirehack> is that your menu? | |
| [20:11] <shirish> eirehack: yup, that's it, is there any other menu as well? | |
| [20:11] <eirehack> and you're using Hardy, correct | |
| [20:11] <eirehack> no, not that im aware of unless you construct your own menu layout | |
| [20:12] <shirish> eirehack: nope, this is 8.10 | |
| [20:12] <eirehack> ohhh okay | |
| [20:12] <eirehack> wooh haven't tried that yet, actually. | |
| [20:12] <shirish> eirehack: but this mouse menu has been there since quite a long long time. | |
| [20:12] <eirehack> yes it has | |
| [20:12] <eirehack> im concerned that the way you adjust settings in xubuntu may have changed with that release | |
| [20:13] <shirish> eirehack: ah ok, isn't there an CLI equivalent of "Autostarted applications", there should be, shoudn't it? | |
| [20:14] <eirehack> there may be, but i havent used it. i will try to find a way to add network-manager-gnome to a configuration file | |
| [20:15] <shirish> eirehack: thanx | |
| [20:16] <eirehack> shirish: no problem, hope i can help | |
| [20:21] <shirish> eirehack: what do you think of this ~/.cache/sessions/xfce4-session-* | |
| [20:24] <eirehack> ive checked that, and for me it appears to contain some information about my current session and what applets started | |
| [20:24] <shirish> eirehack: right | |
| [20:25] <eirehack> did you add xfce on top of an existing ubuntu 8.10? | |
| [20:27] <shirish> eirehack: right, but this has been a machine which has seen constant updates and upgrades since feisty | |
| [20:27] <shirish> eirehack: no clean installs | |
| [20:27] <shirish> eirehack: foray into xfce/xubuntu has been recent though | |
| [20:27] <eirehack> i see | |
| [20:28] <eirehack> i would expect the Settings Manager to be complete and include Autostarted Applications, then :/ | |
| [20:29] <eirehack> i may have found a different way, with config files | |
| [20:29] <eirehack> just a moment | |
| [20:29] <shirish> eirehack: sure | |
| [20:31] <eirehack> GOT IT | |
| [20:31] <wormsxulla> hello. could anyone recommend a good tool with a decent GUI to compress/uncompress jar, xpi and other zip files? | |
| [20:31] <shirish> correction, using xfwm4.5 I just checked in Window Manager | |
| [20:31] <shirish> eirehack: cool | |
| [20:31] <eirehack> oh okay | |
| [20:31] <TheSheep> wormsxulla: file-roller | |
| [20:31] <wormsxulla> TheSheep: thank you | |
| [20:31] <eirehack> shirish: i believe /etc/xdg/autostart/ is what we're looking for | |
| [20:32] <eirehack> that contains, among other auto-started applets in my case, nm-applet.desktop | |
| [20:32] <shirish> eirehack: it also says the same nm-applet.desktop at my end | |
| [20:32] <shirish> too | |
| [20:33] <eirehack> okay, looks like that should be autostarting then. do you have a "systray?" also, how many panels do you have on your desktop. what do they have on them | |
| [20:34] <shirish> eirehack: I have 2 panels, one at the bottom and one on the top | |
| [20:35] <eirehack> do either of those panels have a systray? try adding to a panel this item: "System Tray" | |
| [20:36] <shirish> eirehack: lol, its right there | |
| [20:36] <shirish> eirehack: I just did system tray and it has network-monitor in it :) | |
| [20:36] <eirehack> ah! | |
| [20:36] <eirehack> everything work out for you then? | |
| [20:36] <shirish> eirehack: lol, no one more for you | |
| [20:37] <eirehack> no problem. what is it? | |
| [20:37] <shirish> eirehack: know anything better looking than network-monitor, that is one of the ugliest utilities I ever saw. | |
| [20:39] <eirehack> haha! i havent come across others for the gnome/xfce environment. but like the network-manager-gnome, KDE's utility is supposed to work under xfce as well. perhaps it looks better. considering its a Qt program, it may look worse in xfce. give that a try? | |

| [21:20] <charlie-tca> Help? I seem to have lost my Applications menu in Xubuntu 8.04.01 with all updates | |
| [21:20] <wormsxulla> huh | |
| [21:21] <charlie-tca> That's what I thought, too | |
| [21:21] <wormsxulla> charlie-tca: you helped me with the Applications menu earlier, now you lost it? | |
| [21:21] <charlie-tca> Yea, it seems to be gone | |
| [21:21] <wormsxulla> how odd!! | |
| [21:22] <charlie-tca> even worse thatn odd! If I didn't have this on the panel, I couldn't use it. | |
| [21:23] <wormsxulla> could you have moved it to another place by accident? | |
| [21:25] <charlie-tca> where? | |
| [21:27] <oklinux> any one try archlinux ? | |
| [21:27] <charlie-tca> Okay, I added using left click on panel, add item, XFCE menu | |
| [21:30] <wormsxulla> charlie-tca: good to know :) | |
| [21:30] <wormsxulla> disappearing menus are a bad thing (tm) | |
| [21:31] <wormsxulla> http://www.opera.com/download/linux/ is it ok to install opera 9.60 on xubuntu 7.10 with this? | |
| [21:34] <charlie-tca> I don't know. I use the Synaptic Package Manager myself | |
| [21:34] <charlie-tca> Is there a .deb file? | |
| [21:36] <wormsxulla> there is a other/static .DEB package (but i'm a linux illeterate, so i don't know which is best for xubuntu, the ubuntu one or the .deb one) | |
| [21:37] <wormsxulla> drawback of using a non-mainstream distro :) | |
| [21:39] <charlie-tca> Use the ubuntu app if there is one. Drawbacks: harder to uninstall; may not work with the distro version | |
| [21:39] <charlie-tca> support only from the place you got it | |
| [21:40] <wormsxulla> harder to uninstall, how so? | |
| [21:41] <charlie-tca> Using the ubuntu repositories, you can do apt-get uninstall or use Synaptic to remove | |
| [21:41] <charlie-tca> It won't usually work from other places | |
| [21:43] <wormsxulla> well, the xubuntu repository only has opera 9.27, which is very old. and 9.60 being a snapshot, i want to be able to just replace it with a newer one when i want, without messing up synaptic | |
| [21:45] <charlie-tca> does it tell you if it works on 7.10? | |
| [21:46] <wormsxulla> well, i'll trust the opera guys on that. i selected the gusty version in the radio buttons thingie :) we shall see | |
| [21:49] <wormsxulla> i need to repair the file:///usr/share/xubuntu-docs/desktopguide/C/index.html link | |
| [21:49] <wormsxulla> File not found!!!!!! | |
| [21:51] <charlie-tca> The file is there if you cd to it. To fix, you use the menueditor and change that line at help | |
| [21:52] <charlie-tca> I think it is without the /C/, but I don't remember. | |
| [21:52] <wormsxulla> :) thanks. good that i haven't lost the menu editor! | |
| [21:52] <wormsxulla> oh... might be a case of wrong uri format, right | |
| [21:57] <wormsxulla> file:///usr/share/xubuntu-docs/index.html | |
| [21:57] <wormsxulla> is the right one | |
| [21:57] <wormsxulla> :) | |
| [21:57] <charlie-tca> that's it. | |
| [21:59] <wormsxulla> ah, much better now | |
| [21:59] <charlie-tca> :) | |

| [23:08] <_evad_> Hi, I have a few concerns about updates using the Fluxbox window manager. Will this environment still be able to notify me when new updates are available for my system? | |
