=== danielm__ is now known as danielm [00:24] hey is there a way to run: route add default gw 192.168.1.1 to a xubuntu machine as root at startup? [00:25] or is there a config somewhere i can can add the gateway to [00:25] the route [00:26] Hey LjL are you around? [00:26] you can set the gateway up in /etc/network/interfaces [00:27] thanks [00:31] how do you reset the config without having to restart? [00:32] or reinitialize [00:34] sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart in a terminal [00:34] sudobash: ^^ [00:34] awesome [00:34] :) [00:40] now it doesnt seem to work the same as route add default gw 192.168.1.1 [00:40] because that config doesnt let me ping google... but the route trick does [00:41] is there a way to run the route command at startup i have done it before for this time i have ran scripts at the startup of GDM [00:42] but just after the user logs would work if the script can run at root level [00:44] i had a screwed up installation once that would corrupt Xorg and also GDM so both had to be reinstalled through terminal but I managed to write a shell script to stop gdm right before it actually had a chance to corrupt anything and could run startx [00:45] but if i could run sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1 to that it would work probably [00:45] you could put the script in /etc/rc2.d/rc.local [00:45] yeah thats it or /etc/rc.local right? [00:46] whats the difference? [00:46] no - /etc/rc2.d/rc.local [00:46] the user runlevel default is 2 [00:47] well it has to run as sudo but without a password [00:47] root [00:47] i mean [00:49] trying it now [01:06] How do I remove PPPoEconf system changes? [01:08] LetsGo67: sudo apt-get purge pppoeconf [01:08] if this isn't enough, then i'm sorry for i dont know [01:09] Stroganoff, qu'est-ce que cela fait? [01:09] english please [01:09] What happens after running such a command? [01:09] pppoeconf gets uninstalled including all its config files [01:10] Good, what about the "load this on startup" stuff? [01:10] depends on what you mean by stuff [01:10] you can change startup services with boot-up manager: sudo apt-get install bum [01:10] It set up my computer to automatically run PPPoEconf on startup [01:11] did you do that manually? if so: revert it! ;D [01:12] Ubuntu 8.04 is supposed to get Vista security? No, not manual. [01:12] vista security? what is this? [01:12] just purge pppoeconf and see how it goes [01:12] What am I looking for in bum, anyways? [01:12] pppoeconf [01:13] are you kind of dumb or are you just pretending? [01:13] Not there. [01:13] is there nothing with ppp? [01:13] have you purged already? than its gone. [01:13] congrats [01:13] By "Vista security" I mean: instead of running an entire app as root, it is run at user, then later can be run as sudo. [01:14] IE: synaptic and networks. [01:14] LetsGo67: that is default in unix since 1968 [01:14] The "security"? [01:15] you mean 'policykit' [01:15] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparmor [01:15] yes, hardy uses policykit [01:15] whatever dude [01:15] Yes, it's due. :) [01:16] hehe [01:16] There's this guy who wants an Ubuntu account with no password. Is that possible? [01:17] LetsGo67: yes [01:17] How, TheSheep? [01:17] LetsGo67: just enable autologin [01:17] actually, no, it will still have password, but he won't need it [01:17] in the login window settings [01:17] autologin, self-explanatory? [01:18] is it possible with multiple users in gdm, TheSheep? [01:18] like in xp where you just select a user? [01:18] i'm aware of autologin ONE particular user. [01:18] That's what I'm talking about! :) [01:18] i'm just asking because i didnt use GDM in a long time [01:18] Stroganoff: I'm not sure, I think it's not possible with gdm without some advanced black magic [01:19] Mais où est donc AutoLogin? [01:19] wat? [01:19] LetsGo67: the security tab [01:20] LetsGo67: 'automatic login' [01:20] LetsGo67: right at the top [01:20] LetsGo67: in settings->login window settings [01:20] Je ne vois pas ça dans Xubuntu. Il y a trop d'options sous Applications>Paramètres. [01:21] LetsGo67: it may be in 'system' in some versions of xubuntu (can't remember which) [01:21] Non, Xfce est trop simple et il y a plein de bogues. J'utilise 7.10 [01:21] LetsGo67: just run 'sudo gdmsetup' from terminal [01:22] Merci. [01:22] LetsGo67: btw, je ne parle pas français ;) [01:23] Alors comment comprends-tu!? [01:23] oui! [01:23] LetsGo67: well, it's not that hard to guess :) [01:23] "Activer la connexion automatique". Check that box, type an user... there ya go, Mr. I-don't-want-to-type-a-password! [01:23] and still you managed to find that little cecile [01:24] cedille [01:24] k [01:24] it's simple: compose , c [01:24] where can i find that compose key? [01:24] He's so used to XP but his Firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice.org all run on Ubuntu. [01:25] No but I didn't know this auto login thing it's hard to find it's not obvious. [01:25] haha he will never be able to open up the menu with winkey [01:25] Winkey? [01:25] Stroganoff: you can't by default, I have set CapsLock as compose, since I don't use it anyways [01:25] WIN-Key. [01:25] with that sad little logo [01:25] LetsGo67: super [01:25] Je teste ça, a+! [01:25] DIAMOND111 [01:25] LetsGo67: shift, ctrl, super, alt [01:26] (or meta, if one prefers, instead of alt) [01:26] Stroganoff: Option "XkbOptions" "compose:caps" <-- enables compose key [01:26] TheSheep do you happen to know how much RAM is eaten (not cached) by xubuntu directly after login? [01:26] Stroganoff: in your xorg.conf, under keyboard settings [01:26] k thx [01:27] Stroganoff: on my installs about 70-80MB [01:27] Stroganoff: but I have CUPS disabled, etc. [01:28] k [01:28] it's possible to go lower, but I never bothered [01:29] with cups samba etc disabled i'm at 25-30mb [01:29] nice [01:29] with my cli-script. [01:29] that is without desktop icons ^^ [01:29] Stroganoff: no hal, gamin, dbus, etc? :) [01:29] and without network (wifi) manager :/ [01:29] WITH hal, gamin dbus thunar-volman etc. [01:29] well, xfdesktop takes a lot of ram by itself [01:30] especially with icons [01:30] and some panel plugins too [01:30] it's that mcs-manager that i'm worriing about [01:30] im not using the panekl [01:30] but I can't live without the clipman panel plugin [01:30] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=741631 [01:30] i just wanted to compare [01:31] there's "glipper", features a tray icon? [01:31] Stroganoff: you are looking at the 'writable memory' stat, right? [01:31] maybe it's enough for your needs? [01:31] no, I'm really used to how clipman does it [01:31] TheSheep, i'm looking at free+cache [01:32] just to be sure i use conky [01:32] I actually use some really memory-hungry apps: gajim, sonata [01:32] because I find them much more comfortable [01:33] and because I have 2GB ram anyways [01:33] thats out of the question [01:33] my light weight desktop doesn't prevent you from using good apps ^^ [01:33] python apps do tend to be well thought out and rapidly developed [01:33] Stroganoff: I'd use gossip and gimmix instead, except they have terrible user interfaces :) [01:34] information overload... *explodes* [01:35] a lightweight, fast web browser would be nice [01:35] firefox3 is getting lighter [01:35] opera is currently disabled due to flash [01:35] kazekahase is unusable [01:35] japanese just dont code right. [01:35] it's true! [01:35] I know the market pretty well [01:36] I actually even started writing my own, but given it up [01:36] epiphany with webkit would be interesting [02:05] how can i stop x once i'm logged in to the desktop in hardy heron? [02:08] i tried "/etc/init.d/xdm stop" but it tells me command not found [02:10] Hello. Anybody installed xubuntu on a ThinkPad 240? [02:34] jcgrv06 i'd imagine its slow [02:34] jcgrv06 you might be interested in my new mini ubuntu [02:35] its full featured but considerably faster than xubuntu [02:35] quite usable with 64mb ram [02:35] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=741631 [02:36] thats you best shot unless you wanna try gentoo [02:40] jcgrv06 give it a try [02:43] Stragnoff, thanks, but performance isn't a problem. I'm using it right now and it's ok. I have a problem with the screen resolution. [02:43] This card is 1024x768 capable (I get that in Windows 2000) but it won't go over 800x600 in xubuntu [02:44] Got 320MB, memory isn't an issue [02:44] ok [02:44] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [02:44] will let you choose more resolutions [02:45] I tried the reconfigure several times. I chose 1024x768 as one of the resolutions. I went from 24 to 16 in pixel depth, but 1024x768 doesn't show [02:45] have you tried xrandr? [02:46] no [02:46] i doubt it would work with xrandr (or grandr) [02:47] what display driver are you using? [02:47] the one xubuntu selected by default for the NeoMagic [02:49] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=257696 [02:49] first reply. [02:50] my icewm-desktop is still much faster :p [02:51] Thanks, I'm trying it now. I have edubuntu for the children in an old PC. Just wanted to try xubuntu "as is" on this ThinkPad. [02:51] i will integrate edubuntu into my desktop later [02:51] it's gonna rock [02:53] Thanks, Stroganoff. I'm restarting X now [03:41] snort is not configuring, it hangs on something, is there anyway to remove it? [04:05] hello all! how can i make a command, open in a terminal window, at login? [04:06] ahh got it, thanks anyways [05:14] is the default package type for ubuntu .deb? [05:22] hello why can't I see the title bar in my windows? [05:22] hi [06:32] how do I install icons themes?

[06:58] what options do you have in the settings manager? [06:59] it is in spanish i have the lastest xubuntu version, do you? [06:59] Could you tell me the ext location to translate it and look for it, please [07:03] n-iCe: if your using 8.04 the settings manager is where you change the theme - settings - settings manager - user interface [07:15] ere4si, sorry [07:16] k [07:16] where do I need to install the themes? [07:28] /usr/share/themes [07:32] I can't grab the folder to that path [07:32] :| === cromag_ is now known as Cromag [07:57] try gksudo thunar /usr/share/themes [08:06] n-iCe: ^^ [08:07] ok [08:09] n-iCe: get it working?

[09:27] mckulk_, youll have more luck looking at the mythtv wiki i think [09:27] they should have a big list of supported tuner cards over there [09:27] and *ubuntu should support all/most of them [11:53] why do i got 2 nm-applets started everytime, even if i kill 1... shouldnt the session manager recognize this? [12:03] The wireless icon doesn't have two green bulbs anymore! [12:04] It just says 0 bars even when it's not connected! [12:04] What's wrong? [12:24] The wireless icon doesn't have two green bulbs anymore! [12:24] It just says 0 bars even when it's not connected! [12:24] What's wrong? [12:25] hi [12:25] Hi. [12:26] Xubuntu is acting all weird! [12:26] i'm sorry :( [12:26] maybe there are no wireless access points in your immediate vacinity? [12:29] the more specific you can be about your problems, the more likely it is that someone in the channel will be able to help you [12:46] There is. [12:46] Thanks anyways. === danielm_ is now known as danielm [14:55] any ideas about Apacer AS820 mp3 player? [14:55] Philips GoGear for example works fine, but after connecting miniusb<->usb cable to AS820 it doesn't auto-mount it [15:01] anyone? === Fri13- is now known as Fri13 [15:58] Hello. Has anybody here installed xubuntu on a ThinkPad 240? [15:59] not i [16:01] ASk your question anyways jcgrv06 [16:01] We may be able to still help you. [16:02] I installed xubuntu last weekend. I have now dual boot w/W2K. This laptop has a 10.4" screen, 800x600 is native but is capable of 1024x768. I can scroll in Windows just by moving the cursor towards the border. [16:03] xubuntu only allows 800x600. I have reconfigured X, set pixel depth to 16 from 24 and added 1024x768 as a valid resolution, but didn't help. [16:03] I haven't tried an external monitor yet, but it'd be nice if it behaved like in W2K [16:04] what driver is installed, and what video card do you have? [16:04] does the video card use shared memory? [16:04] Driver is the default one for NeoMagic 128 [16:04] No, videocard has 2MB dedicated [16:04] ongly 2mb? [16:04] maybe it needs more [16:04] haha [16:04] try to assign more memory [16:04] hey, 2 mb works. [16:05] well in my case it needed 16 mb [16:05] I'm using abotu that much right now [16:05] to show 1024x768 [16:05] no, there is no way to assign more memory. 1024x768 + 16M is possible in Windows [16:05] Probably this is a limitation in xubuntu [16:05] jcgrv06 have you looked in the BIOS? [16:05] jcgrv06, it is possible [16:05] i did it [16:06] Same BIOS lets me boot in W2K w/1024x768 [16:06] TheSheep, [16:06] how it was that command [16:06] for reconfiguring X? [16:06] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver [16:06] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xconf.org-server [16:06] :) [16:06] or xserver-xorg [16:07] can't ever remember which one it is [16:07] I tried several times. I need to try with an external monitor [16:07] 800x600 is too limited, I can't see the Apply / Cancel buttons sometimes [16:08] xserver-xorg [16:08] ah The-Kernel already said that, didnt read that ;) [16:08] yes, I went through the motions, messing up the settings (it defaulted to Alsa) and manage to put it the way it was. [16:09] I don't know about you, but the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xconf.org-server doesn't even work for me [16:09] maybe it's this! [16:09] =D [16:09] jcgrv06 did you assign it 16 mb of memory? [16:14] no, I didn't. But again, Windows drivers allow me to scroll around with 2MB. You need 1024x768*2 bytes = 1,572,864 bytes = 1.5MB [16:16] well [16:16] maybe more video memory is necessary for other reasons [16:16] and maybe windows assigns it wighout letting you knwo [16:17] no, because 1024x768 is unavailable if you go to 24 pixel depth [16:17] that'd go over 2MB [16:22] jcgrv06: you can enable scrolling by adding the 'virtual' option to your xorg.conf [16:22] jcgrv06: see 'man xorg.conf' for details [16:27] Thanks, TheSheep. I will try that [16:28] Also, I'm getting approx. half the speed with my wireless card. [16:28] than with Windows. Perhaps I should use ndiswrapper to wrap the Windows driver? [16:29] no idea [16:32] has anybody compared xubuntu's desktop performance with other ubuntu derivatives? [16:35] jcgrv06: how wuld you measure that? [16:35] jcgrv06: the computational performance is identical, as they are based on the same core [16:36] Overall responsiveness. Boot time, time it takes to open File Manager and navigate [16:36] how do I update my video drivers?? [16:41] n-iCe: except for some proprietary drivers, they are all shipped with the kernel/xorg [16:41] n-iCe: so they are updated with the whole system === tonyyarusso is now known as anthony === luisbg_ is now known as luisbg [16:44] One thing I missed right away w/Thuran was the search capability and Recent documents. It seems it's only available from the open / save as dialog box. Am I missing something? === anthony is now known as tonyyarusso [16:45] jcgrv06: you can add the 'places' plugin to have a list of recent documents [16:45] jcgrv06: search is done with separate programs, like catfish [16:46] Thanks, TheSheep [16:47] That's why I was asking about the performance difference between xubuntu & edubuntu, for example. edubuntu comes with it already, but it uses the gnome desktop manager [16:53] jcgrv06: yeah, Nautilus is pretty bloated with features [16:55] can someone help me? [16:55] Where do I get themes and how do I install them? [16:55] n-iCe: try http://xfce-look.org [16:56] n-iCe: you unpack them to the .themes directory in your home [16:56] I downloaded one, but I couldn't get it work :< [16:56] The-Kernel, that's all? [16:56] create this directory if it doesn't exist yet [16:56] yes, after that the theme should appear in the user interface settings or window manager settings, depending on what kind of theme it is [16:59] how do I remove a program? [16:59] apt-get remove program ? [16:59] yes, or use synaptic [16:59] thanks [17:01] TheSheep, I did but the program folder is still there [17:01] :| [17:02] program folder? [17:02] rm -r ~/.wine did the trick [17:03] you should have said you meant a windows program installed with wine [17:03] now run winecfg to recreate it [17:06] TheSheep, Ok thanks [17:06] Now, how do I open a folder with root privileges? [17:06] Because I can¡t extract the icon theme to the themes folder :\ [17:06] by the way it is on /usr/shared/themes is it correct TheSheep ? [17:11] n-iCe: icon themes are stored in .icons in your home directory or in /usr/share/icons [17:12] n-iCe: you shouldn't modify the global ones, juts make a copy in your home [17:12] all your changes would be lost on update === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache [17:13] I can't create a folder on home [17:14] n-iCe: you can't create a directory in your own home directory? [17:14] how so? [17:14] the "create folder" is like blocked in grey [17:14] what's the error? [17:15] n-iCe: your home directory is /home/yourusername [17:15] ooh I thought just /home/ [17:15] Ok done, do I need to name it: .icons , right? [17:17] thanks [17:17] worked [17:39] TheSheep, I see in my menu a submenu called others, where can I find it on the terminal, what's the path any ideA? [18:07] I can't eject my cdrom, says error, how can I force it????? [18:08] is it still mounted? it anything using files on the drive? [18:09] I don't think so [18:09] I can't unmount [18:09] I have found on many occasions that thunar seems still be using something even if there are no open windows.... [18:09] says it is busy [18:10] how can I stop it? [18:10] I usually do a 'killall Thunar' [18:10] killall Thunar ? [18:10] at a terminal or in a 'alt-f2' run prompt [18:25] zoredache, ok I rebooted [18:26] ah, well that must have solved it [18:28] Grr but when I try to install the game, and ask me for the disc number to the same, I can't reject the disc number 1 :< [18:29] any idea on what to do?
