User1: hi
User2: Hey, I am trying to install xubuntu-desktop on an ubuntu install and keep getting errors and messages that it's not authenticated. can anyone help?
User3: No not really...
User3: It is missing some gpg keys?
User2: not sure.
User2: I tried switching to the main repos.. lemme see if that helps.
User3: You should have all the keys...
User2: yeah it's not a keys thing.
User2: I think it's a US mirror thing... I switched to the main, deleted the .deb's and reinstalled and that worked just fine.
User4: nah, that's symptomatic of a broken transparent proxy
User5: is there any way to change the screenlock login screen when coming back from a screensaver
User5: running xscreensaver
User5: not as many options
User5: and i do have gnome-screensaver on autostarted apps in order to get screenlock to work w/ xscreensaver
User5: 8.1
User5: 8.10*
User5: it was but i switched to xscreensaver
User6: how can I use the usb floppy drive in my computer ? I have Kubuntu installed, and I get /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device
User7: Can anyone tell me where the graphic used for the splash screen is hiding?
User7: I'd like to use it for xdm as well, instead of the debian logo.
User8: How do I get rid of the icons in my desktop? Deleting them didn't work
User9: as of this evening, the volume control applet will no longer show up in my panel in xubuntu intrepid. i have tried rebooting, as well as simply killing xfce4-panel, and restarting it, but nothing i have tried has worked. any suugestions?
User10: User9 did you try adding a new one?
User9: ball, yes. the applet will not show up.
User10: User9 does your sound hardware continue to work?
User9: yes, from what i can tell.... let me check again
User9: User10 yes, sound is working fine
User10: User9 I'm not sure then, sorry.
User10: User9 out of interest, can you launch xfce4-mixer from the command line?
User9: i have never had this issue before. very strange
User9: User10 i can try
User9: User10 yes, xfce4-mixer works.... it is just the panel applet that doesn't work
User10: Is it an applet or a launcher?
User9: a launcher? for volume control?
 * ball nods
User10: I'm not sitting at the console, so my speaker icon launches xfce4-mixer
User10: I don't know what the console one does.
User9: no, i am just speaking of the regular old volume control applet that is always used in xfce, as far as i know
User10: little speaker icon, top right?
User9: yes, if you click on it, it does launch xfce4-mixer.... but it is the only volume control applet i have ever seen anyone use in xfce
User10: If you hover over it, do you get a slider?
User10: (for master volume)
User9: User10 i am not sure what you're asking.
User9: there is only one volume control applet in xfce4
User10: ok
User10: If you right click on the panel and choose "Add new item"
User10: ...can you add xfce4-mixer?
User10: Oh look.
User9: User10 it does not give that option
User10: I get an "Add Items to the Panel" menu, and one of the things on that menu is "Volume Control"
User9: User10 ..... yes, that is what i am referring to... i think it is the only thing i could be referring to
User9: is the applet itself xfce4-mixer/
User9: ?
User10: I think so.
User10: Try it.
User10: So you don't have an "Add new item" option?
User9: User10 i have already said two or three times that that is what i have already tried
User9: yes, i have the add new item option
User9: the volume control applet, of xfce4-mixer, does not show up
User9: or*
User10: User9 dunno then.
User9: i have tried killing the panel, killing the mixer.... restarting things.... rebooting.... i have used xfce for years, and am familiar with its basic workings. the problem is that it will not show up
User10: Someone in #xfce might know.
User9: i'm not sure what would have suddenly caused this
User9: i might have to try there..... i also have kde4.2 beta2 on this machine, and there were a lot of kde updates yesterday.... surely there is not some kind of interference?
 * ball shrugs
User10: I know nothing of KDE
User11: is there a way to get xubuntu to open links from the terminal in a new window in firefox, rather than a new tab?
User10: User11 that's probably up to Firefox
User10: Check your preferences.
User11: will do
User10: power cuts ftl
User12: just ran the alsa-info.sh script -- problem is (hopefully) simple -- cannot get a regular simple desktop mic plugged into soundcard mic jack to record, with or w/o boost.
User12: recording tool is audacity set to alsa default, 48k sampling rate.
User12: mic gain up.
User12: oops
User13: Hello
User14: how could i hear the microphone input using pulseaudio?
User15: How do I play iTunes FairPlay media in Ubuntu?
User16: Sounds like some evil DRM thing that you can only play in iTunes, but I've never heard of it so don't listen to me :P

User16: Hey filipegatti

User29: hi there. does a linux graphics driver exist for an ATI Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x chipset please? got a laptop with tiny screen size, so i guess we're not talking to the graphics chip properly. Available resolutions are only 800.600 / 640.480  :(
User28: ElcMawr, check ati web page
User29: i did; nothing there... hoped someone might know what else to try
User28: os[Linux 2.6.24-19-generic i686] distro[Debian lenny/sid] cpu[1 x AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3800+ (AuthenticAMD) @ 1.80GHz] mem[Physical: 438.9MB, 61.7% free] disk[Total: 1.9GB, 19.1% free] video[nVidia Corporation GeForce 6100 nForce 430] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia]
User28: :P
User30: Don't suppose anyone's seen any major issues after an update, recently, have they?
User30: Pkay, so, just me then.  Anyone willing to give me a quick list of what runs during startup?  We're looking at the 'just after you've logged in' section of things, just after it attempts to display a desktop.
User30: Okay,cool, fantastic.

User31: hello, i am getting ready to install xubuntu 8.04, but i did a disk check on the cd i burned and it had errors, before i burn another i want to check the ISO file, where can I gat an md5sum for the x86 image?
User4: the alternate or the desktop image?
User31: desktop
User4: ok, check the MD5SUMS file at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/8.04.1/release/
User31: thanks
User4: and please remember to grab 8.04.1 instead of 8.04 - although 8.04.2 will be out shortly =)
User31: yeah, i got it from the main site so it is 9.04.1
User31: er 8.04.1
User4: whew, 9.04.1 =)
User30: So, being kind of new to linux in general, is there anything available that can show me exactly what's happening at startup? Something' killing my system at boot, and, well, I'd like to know what.
User32: User30 dmesg and /var/log/*
User32: User30 you can also press 'esc' at boot, select your linux, press 'e', select the kernel line, select 'e' again and remove the 'quiet' from it, then press 'b'
User30: It's happening after login - will that still be in the 'non-quiet' version of things?
User32: no
User32: it may be in .xsession-errors in your home
User33: I get an error when i opten Synaptic that says E: The package conexant needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. E: Intermal error opening cache (1). Please report.
User33: and when i try to install it i get dependency errors
User30: excellent, cheers, sheep.  Will hunt :D
User33: hrm
User33: could be that it wasn't mounted
User24: hello, i hear there is a patch to get xfce desktop to have transparent background on icons...anyone know where to get that?
User32: User24 not really a patch, it's just a question of your gtk style
User32: User24 just add this to your .gtkrc-2.0  http://paste.pocoo.org/show/96316/
User24: okay adding it, just paste at the bottom of the file?
User32: yeah
User32: hen change the theme to something and back, and it should work
User24: k
User24: worked thanks
