[01:49] try /register help [01:49] whoops [01:49] that doesn't work === Oak___ is now known as jubjub === jubjub is now known as DaveKong === DaveKong is now known as DaveKong_ === DaveKong_ is now known as DaveKong [02:11] I just found it out [02:11] thanks [02:12] oak was taken [02:16] anyone keen on network issues I have been struggling with this for a long time now and no one seems to know why my connection is not working [02:58] I have set up my internet connection correctly and the icon on the top bar shows a wired connection but I am unable to use the internet at all [02:59] My router does not see the computer [02:59] anyone know what may be going on?

[07:32] hi [07:33] how to change keyboard layout? [08:18] kibibyte: use setxkbmap :] [08:49] Morning. === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache [09:42] why is updatedb running even if i put the update manager options stating that i don't want it to check for updates? [09:42] periodically when i boot it runs someway slowing me down very much [09:45] Iskr: updatedb has nothing to do with update manager [09:46] ah [09:46] Iskr: it updates the filename database for use with the 'locate' command [09:46] ok [09:46] so it wasn't it [09:46] i was wrong in locating the app name [09:46] but it was the update manager running [09:47] i know it because its icon from orange was grey [09:47] like it is when there is some package manager running [09:47] no idea [09:48] =( [09:48] next time you have it you can check if it does any network connections, with 'netstat' [09:48] anyway i'd really like to remove that orange icon from my system tray... i'd like to start the update manager when I want to update [09:50] Iskr: settings->setting manager->autostarted applications [09:50] yes TheSheep [09:50] i have already done it [09:50] you can even uninstall the whole thing with synaptic [09:50] but it didn't work [09:50] i swear [09:50] even if i check it now [09:51] perhaps it was saved with your session [09:51] the application is unchecked [09:51] but nevertheless it started [09:51] xfce can remember the application that were running when you logged out and start them when you log in [09:52] if it has the 'save session' checkbox set when you are loggin out [09:52] oh yes it's true [09:52] it could be that [09:52] so i must kill it [09:53] you can clear your session by deleting the files in ~/.cache/sessions/ [09:53] i killed it [09:53] r.i.p. [09:53] thank you very much as usual TheSheep you are always very useful [09:54] cool [09:55] do you also know how i can make my pdf icon back after being changed by acroreader? [09:57] Iskr: I have no idea what acrobat does with the icon [09:57] Iskr: I suppose you could replace the icon it installed [09:57] yes but how? [09:57] Iskr: or just remove it, then it will fallback to the default [09:58] yes but i need it [09:58] well, first you need to find it... [09:58] the icon file, not whole acrobat [09:58] ah yes [09:58] i tried to remove it [09:58] dpkg -L packagename will list the files contained in a package [09:59] let me found the howto i had tried [10:02] I am trying to install xubuntu on a lenovo t60, and everything worked but the wireless. I have googled a bit, and it seems I need to install http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads [10:02] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=698402 <- i have done this [10:02] But how do I do that? [10:02] it didn't work [10:03] lsolesen: I'm sure there are howtos on the think wiki [10:04] Iskr: you have acrobat in that directory? [10:04] Iskr: or is it a different version? [10:05] yes of course it's same directory and same verions -.- [10:06] it should work by my book, any error messages? [10:06] no -.- [10:07] the 'save session' feature has nothing to do with this thing, isn't it? [10:08] TheSheep: you are probably right, but could not find it :) Hoped some clever guy here knew a link. I only have a wireless signal where I am installing, so I have to switch to win every time I want to look something up. A little annoying :) [10:08] lsolesen: here is some info: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_6.10_(Edgy_Eft)_on_a_ThinkPad_T60#Wireless_LAN [10:10] Iskr: no === ubottu is now known as ubott2 === ubott2 is now known as ubottu [11:26] I tried to install the wireless card, and it seems that everything is installed now. However, there are still no apparent wireless connection. Got this when doing $ dmesg | grep hal [11:26] [17179590.420000] ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel. [17179590.424000] [11:26] ath_hal: 0.9.17.2 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413) [11:29] There is no light in the wireless connection light. However, the buttom to turn it on will not work (it works on windows), so I guess I do not know where to turn it on. [11:55] how to access windows partition? [12:30] I'm trying to get xubuntu 8.04 to run on an older machine (p2-400 w/196MB RAM) and am having some sound issues. Anyone on happen to be good with sound issues in Xubuntu? [13:58] hy [13:59] i am trying to set up my notebook hotkeys.. but i bumped in a problem... my Fn keys do not repeat any keycodes.. as seen with showkey. [14:00] some of the keys are workinng... like the brightes setting [14:02] brightness is hardware [14:03] not a hotkey [14:46] hi [14:47] can i use the floppy/lan method to install xubuntu hardy heron on a laptop? [14:51] yes [14:51] !install [14:51] Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [14:52] TheSheep: thanks [14:52] mr_boo: best install a command-line system and then install the xubuntu-desktop meta package [14:52] ok [15:57] what do i need to change in xubuntu before i replace my ATI video card with a Nvidia one? and where do i do it? [15:59] search for 'nvidia' in installed packages and remove them [16:00] you might also want to reconfigure your X if you want to install the ati drivers in a graphical environment [16:59] hi, i just did an apt-get install xubuntu-desktop on a minimal install and i restarted and gdm let me login but the desktop just pops up a terminal and there are no menus or panels or title bar for the terminal [17:04] in gdm you should try to choose xfce as your session [17:04] that could be the problem [17:05] hello [17:05] hi [17:06] i have an issue with the login screen resolution in xubuntu [17:06] i have the xorg.conf everything on default [17:07] i would like to make it to suit my needs [17:07] what if i dont even want to use gdm [17:07] how would i start it right? i tried just startx and i get the same problem [17:07] boxy: what do you want to use? slim? [17:07] slim? [17:07] and it's startxfce4, not startx [17:07] oh that may be the problem [17:08] id rather just login in the terminal, if i decide i want a desktop ill open one [17:08] but thanks ill try that real quick [17:08] yup [17:08] oh ps.... [17:08] when i set the screen resolution in Ubuntu, the xorg.conf is then edited with all the available resolutions, but i can't do that in Xubuntu [17:08] got any ideas= [17:08] ? [17:09] so your login screen resolution is smaller than your desktop resolution? [17:09] exactly [17:09] it looks very ugly [17:10] my screen resolution is 1280×960 [17:10] but the login screen is way off [17:10] i think it's more like a 800×600 [17:11] i don't know why wasn't the login screen set to 1280×960 when i set the screen resolution to 1280×960 [17:11] ok, let's start with your xorg.conf... if you could go to /etc/X11/ and paste the contents of xorg.conf to .... something like http://rafb.net/paste/ [17:11] just a sec [17:13] okay here it is: http://rafb.net/p/8qCCR292.html [17:13] this is how it looks like [17:14] oh... yeah xorg just sets itself up nowadays... doesn't it.... [17:14] yeah [17:14] but not gor me [17:14] *for [17:14] i've changed the screen resolution to 1280×960@60 but that didn't change xorg.conf [17:15] you can still use xorg if you want though [17:15] yeah on my other pc i had to manually set xorg.conf because it couldn't detect it for me [17:15] what video card do you have? [17:15] ATI Radeon 9550 [17:16] it's supported in Ubuntu [17:16] hmm yeah... i know xorg.conf settings... but xorg is changing so much and i think they are getting away from modifying that file [17:16] when i used Ubuntu, there was an application in which you could set the default monitor and the driver of the graphics card... [17:17] when i poked around with this settings, that changed my xorg.conf [17:17] an older version of ubuntu? [17:17] no no, the Ubuntu 8.04 [17:18] do you know how to modify xorg.conf properly? [17:18] not really [17:19] do you happen to know the name of the app in Ubuntu in which you set the default screen and set whether you have two screens and the driver of your graphics card? [17:19] i forgot [17:19] Boxxxer: displayconfig-gtk [17:19] oh, thanks buddy [17:20] i think i need to install that package [17:20] no, it should be installed by default [17:20] hmm [17:20] let me just run it [17:20] yes!! [17:21] i have the same app as i had in ubuntu which then set the proper login screen resolution [17:21] thanks TheSheep [17:21] omg [17:22] now i have another problem [17:22] i can't even change the settings [17:22] everything is greyed out [17:22] now why is that so? hmmm... [17:23] can you give me some help here? it'll be very much appreciated [17:23] open a terminal [17:23] and type [17:23] sudo displayconfig-gtk [17:23] oh! [17:23] i'm so stupid [17:24] i imagine that will solve your problem [17:24] lol [17:24] yeah it did [17:24] thanks buddy ;) [17:24] you're the best [17:25] not a problem [17:26] there's a little question now... [17:26] i have ATI Radeon 9550 [17:27] and i have to choose the Graphics Card Driver [17:27] i choose ATI as the Manufacturer [17:27] but i don't know which model [17:27] Radeon (fglrx) perhaps? [17:28] or maybe Radeon (fbdev) ? [17:28] Radeon (vesa) ? (what is vesa anyway?) [17:28] Radeon [17:28] don't know too much about ati's [17:29] or Radeon 8500 [17:29] i'm baffled [17:30] Radeon (fbdev) sound like a driver in development [17:30] or maybe not maybe dev means device [17:30] hmm [17:31] anyway, thanks for your help [17:31] bye now ;) [17:48] hello again [17:48] i have solved my problem [17:49] thanks to you [17:49] now i need you again ;) [17:49] i can't lock my screen [17:50] and i also can't set those special buttons on my multimedia keyboard to do some action when pressed [17:51] i wanna set my WWW button to open my default webbrowser (which is Firefox of course) [17:51] do you have any idea about the lock screen and the keyboard buttons? [17:56] yup [17:56] there's a couple options for locking your screen [17:57] search in synaptic for xlock and you'll get a couple [17:57] xscreensaver is a pretty good way to do it (pretty good = userfriendly) === t3hwiz0r1 is now known as t3hwiz0rd [18:05] thanks [18:06] i don't know why this isn't installed by default? [18:06] i figure it's because they wanted to make Xubuntu lightweight [18:06] and it's only 500 MB or so [18:07] i think you'll see xubuntu dramatically improving in the next release or two [18:07] the new project leader sounds like he's pretty with it [18:07] listening to what he had to say at UDS and just his general enthusiasm for the project, expect good things [18:07] very nice [18:08] i'm running Xubuntu on a relatively fast machine, but i prefered to install this one just to check it out [18:09] and i must tell you it's great [18:09] i think i'll stick with it [18:10] i had Ubuntu with Extra effects and it worked good [18:10] but as soon as i get everything going here (as i did in Ubuntu) i'll stick with Xubuntu ;) [18:11] oh xfce is where it's at [18:11] has nothing to do with the light weight factor for me [18:11] it's easily configurable [18:11] and highly configurable [18:11] yeah [18:11] i know [18:11] i love the Settings Manager [18:11] mhm [18:11] it's cool [18:12] what's the default locking app in Ubuntu named? [18:12] probably gnome-screensaver ? [18:13] i'll check it out [18:14] do you use the compositor on xfce? [18:14] like transparencies? if not, i recommend it :) [18:14] i don't [18:15] shadows are kinda cool but nah, it's okay the way it is... at least for me ;) [18:15] k [18:15] what is this Display full screen overlay windows directly for? [18:15] in Compositor that is [18:16] what does this do? [18:16] ? [18:16] it's a checkbox [18:16] if it's checked, what does it do? [18:17] oh... please tell me about this Orage (the calendar) [18:18] i clicked it in Settings Manager and now it's popping up every time i boot into the desktop [18:18] heh [18:19] i wanna get rid of it [18:19] it's so annoying [18:19] you probably have xfce set to remember what apps you have running [18:19] and it's not present in th [18:19] hmmm, don't know [18:19] type killall orage [18:19] then logout [18:19] then logback in [18:19] should be gone [18:20] and if i reboot, would it be silenced? [18:20] has nothing to do with rebooting [18:20] has to do with logging in, i imagine [18:20] okay [18:21] brb [18:21] yup ;) [18:21] you're right on [18:22] how can i set xfce not to remember those apps i'm running? [18:22] do you happen to recall where that setting is? [18:23] yup [18:23] session and startup settings [18:23] "automatically save session on logout" [18:23] it's not checked [18:23] and it wasn't before [18:23] hmm [18:24] but i have the Prompt on logout checked [18:24] which i always not uncheck [18:24] then one time you must have saved it? [18:24] yeah [18:24] i must have [18:24] is it possible to remove it? [18:25] like apt-get remove orage ? [18:25] yup [18:25] that will get rid of orage [18:25] maybe purge instead if you want [18:25] whatever [18:25] purge? [18:25] isn't that a Gentoo package manager? [18:25] lol [18:25] gentoo has a purge option as well, yes [18:26] oh :) [18:26] oh and it's portage [18:26] sorry :/ [18:26] yup [18:26] mmm portage [18:26] :D [18:27] you like Gentoo? [18:27] yes and no [18:27] i like choosing compile flags [18:27] but i don't like waiting for things to compile [18:27] i had it installed once but i was like in the dark with no matches and stuff, so i removed it [18:27] you should only use gentoo if you know a fair bit about gnu/linux [18:28] i didn't know how to do stuff in Gentoo i ment to say [18:28] yeah [18:28] i recon [18:28] so with purge i completely remove orage (along with its settings and stuff, right?) [18:29] yeah purge is good [18:29] so [18:29] apt-get purge orage [18:29] lemme try this baby [18:30] oh... will the icon of Orage also be gone in the Settings Manager? [18:30] yes [18:31] hmmm [18:31] orage is removed but not the icon [18:31] maybe i need to logout or something [18:33] could be [18:33] oh, there's no package named gnome-screensaver [18:34] there is an option to add the lock screen icon on the panel, but clicking on it makes no action at all [18:37] brb [18:39] yeah i had to log out and log in in order for that Orage icon in the Settings Manager to disappear [18:39] nice [18:39] it would be really useful if you filed these things as bugs :) [18:39] all these little issues pertaining to xfce [18:40] it's not really a bug [18:40] it's more like a annoyance ;) [18:40] orage not dissappearing from the settings manager is a bug [18:40] lock screen not working is a bug [18:40] etc [18:40] oh [18:40] so it should [18:40] hmm [18:40] you would be directly improving xubuntu if you filed those [18:40] can you help me on this? [18:41] with what? [18:41] you file the orage bug, i'll file the lock screen bug [18:41] deal? :) [18:42] if it didn't happen to me, i can't file it because i don't know the details [18:42] i don't know what package you have installed [18:42] etc [18:42] though [18:42] i'm running debian unstable on this laptop [18:42] this is Xubuntu out-of-the-box [18:42] and it's the only OS i have on my machine [18:43] i'd have to turn on my other computer and fire up a vm which has xubuntu out of the box on it [18:43] please do [18:43] so how about you file it, and i'll grab a shower! [18:43] :p [18:43] hmm :) [18:43] okay :P [18:43] thanks [18:43] oh [18:43] please tell me _where_ to file it [18:43] that'll be good:) [18:44] you ever filed a bug ? [18:44] i don't know where is any xubuntu bug tracker on the net [18:45] i know launchpad [18:45] you ever filed a bug ? [18:45] yup [18:45] more than once actually [18:45] on launchpad [18:45] for ubuntu [18:45] i don't know if that bug tracker is for xubuntu as well [18:47] Featured projects only lists Ubuntu [18:47] do you think that's the same bug tracker for the subproject Xubuntu? [18:47] not sure, never filed an xubuntu specific bug before actually [18:48] anywho, i really gotta get going... hopefully someone can help you file the bug!
