We have to stay up with Ubuntu, since we use the same installers and repositories [00:23] wait [00:23] When borrowing from elsewhere, you can't always just change it. [00:23] does 9.04 comes out the same time with ubuntu [00:24] yes, April 23. [00:24] charlie-tca so a 700mb iso to make it a a usb i will need how big usb?? [00:24] 700mb, I think [00:25] I don't know for sure. I don't do that [00:25] if i install lxde [00:25] http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2008/11/07/ubuntu-from-your-flash-drive-easier-than-ever-before/ [00:25] Take a look at that [00:26] and then install xfce will i have xubuntu??\ [00:26] no [00:26] no, xubuntu is not lxde, it is ubuntu with xfce instead of gnome [00:27] Dillizar, you could think that xfce is part of xubuntu [00:28] yeah [00:28] but lxde its ubuntu with lxde right [00:28] or just debian \ [00:28] lscd is not ubuntu, it is debian [00:28] not ubuntu [00:28] That is not the same, although it uses some of the same stuff [00:28] is there #xubuntu+1 [00:29] nope :) [00:29] no, all of +1 is ubuntu: #ubuntu+1 handles ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu [00:29] but not lxde [00:30] so i need usb-creator and a xubuntu :) [00:30] you need whatever xubuntu blog said. [00:30] He is a xubuntu user [00:31] sounds scary [00:31] you don't have a cd drive? [00:31] well i have but it doesnt work that good [00:32] but [00:32] All the images are good today [00:32] i want to make with me PC (ubuntu) [00:32] for my laptop [00:45] charlie-tca thanks a lot man for the info i will be installing xubuntu 9.04 first thing in the morning [00:45] Great. You are welcome [00:46] Good luck, and yes, we discuss 9.04 here too [00:46] I am running it, and so are several others [00:47] they say its damn fast [00:47] :) [00:47] It is fast, and works smooth. Ext4 file system still has issues though [02:06] is dellos really the most secure os in da world ? [02:06] why you guys use xubuntu? [02:06] dellos is where it is at [02:06] with dellirc [02:42] Hello i want to how it is possible to know whats my wireless card [02:42] I use Ubuntu :P [02:56] bluestaze: try "sudo lshw" in a terminal [03:00] evening! How do I "exit X" or quit my xserver? Trying to upgrade my video card, and that is the message the driver gives me [03:00] ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing. [03:10] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop <-- crashed my system in regards to my above question :( [03:21] can anyone help me with configuring the xorg file to work with my laptops external monitor port? [04:33] anyone know where to change the theme for panel? [04:42] hi! [04:42] hello [04:43] I got what claimed to be the xubuntu 8.10 torrent [04:44] http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/intrepid/release/desktop/xubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent [04:44] but upon installing it appeared to be ubuntu 8.04 [04:46] what do you mean appeared to be? did the splash screen show up as ubuntu? [04:48] I see there is no text editor in accessories, what would you suggest? I'd like something that will do syntac checking for html and perl? [04:49] n2diy, the text editor is listed as mousepad, I don't know how it fairs out with coding, but if you want the gnome client, you can type "sudo apt-get install gedit" in a terminal screen. [04:52] brandonban6: thanks, yes, mousepad, still confuses me. [04:53] it was gnome [04:57] all the splash screens showed up as ubuntu, not xubuntu [04:57] it looked exactly like a default ubuntu 8.04 install [04:58] TWF, that stinks. Perhaps try another download? [04:59] I direct-downloaded the same file [04:59] they exactly matched in size so I assume they're the same iso [05:01] that's not my problem though really [05:01] I got xubuntu-desktop through synaptic [05:01] which worked great for a few minutes [05:03] I did this: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfcehardy [05:03] to remove gnome, but now my display's all messed up [05:04] TWF, I'm sorry! Wish I could help, but that is a bit out of my league, maybe try posting in ubuntuforums? or perhaps trying later when someone else is on. [05:06] I did post on the ubuntu forums :X [05:06] they're having database troubles atm. [05:20] does abiword do syntax checking for perl and/or html? [05:37] test n2diy test [07:25] sudo chmod a + rwx /dev/sdb would let everyone be able to modify my ntfs external drive? [08:33] I'm getting this error when i'm trying to add some new repositories and getting the keys for them: http://paste.ubuntu.com/134714/ - Would anyone be able to help me in howto fix this?

(if reboot didn't heölp [09:43] *help :P ) [09:54] hello, is the default screensaver application in xfce xscreensaver? does it have a dbus address to get its state? [10:36] savvas: it's gnome-screensaver [11:18] is the new nofication system which is in ubuntu 9.04, going to be in xubuntu [11:18] TheSheep: thanks :) [12:08] how do i share my internet connection with other pcs on my network with xubuntu? [12:13] ruhaan, buy a router [12:14] It quastion not only for xubuntu. I never did that, but I only know about you must do something with iptables and ipfoward. [12:15] cody-somerville, i have my network all set up [12:15] i just need to share the internet [12:15] so not really looking to buy a router [12:15] ruhaan_, install firestarter [12:16] yeah tried that [12:16] but dhcp doesnt work with it [12:16] did you install the dhcp server? [12:16] i have installed the dhcp package though [12:16] still it has the dhcp section grayed out [12:16] dhcp client or server?

I'm a quick learner :) [22:06] mm, i don't know shit about that, but you might want to try someone in the main ubuntu channel, since those issues are nearly always not xubuntu-specific [22:06] right right [22:07] will do that, cheers === gorgut is now known as gorgut_AFK [22:13] meh, its like a well of despair in #ubuntu! thousands of questions flying around... I'll never get an answer :( [22:16] Shooree, which xubuntu version are you running? [22:16] 8.10 [22:16] right. let me see if i can help you. just a moment [22:16] I'm wading through the very detailed solutions on the forums, but I can't get any of them to work [22:17] I actually reinstalled the system hours ago, in order to solve it afresh [22:18] would you like me to post the links to the forum threads I'm reffering to_, knome_ [22:18] Did you just try to bind the keys in "Xfce params -> keyboard -> shortcuts" ? [22:18] Shooree, that would be nice, yeah. [22:19] what I did was explained in step one of the http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=997860 [22:19] first stumbling point for me was that it doesn't say where to save the .xbindkeysrc file, once I create and edit it [22:20] it just ends up in my home folder [22:20] i suppose it is the right place [22:20] ok then [22:20] so I've put it there [22:20] like the guide says [22:20] and made the autostart command [22:21] the xinput thing mentioned in the paragraph above [22:21] yeah. [22:21] installed exhaile that the guy mentions [22:21] have you booted/logged out and in after that? [22:21] and bummer. the media keys still works as if its a mouse wheel [22:22] yea, several times [22:22] ok [22:23] I haven't done any other steps yet [22:23] !info xvkbd [22:23] xvkbd (source: xvkbd): software virtual keyboard for X11. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8-1 (intrepid), package size 70 kB, installed size 296 kB [22:24] should I do something with this info? [22:25] can you try to change any of those items to, for example, "exaile" [22:25] the xvkbd items [22:25] and restart x and try if that button opens exaile [22:25] I'm sorry, I don't follow... should I install this xvkbd package first? [22:26] nope. just mevermind that. :) [22:26] or well, i think it would be good if you don't have it already [22:26] haven't installed anything like that [22:26] ok, then try installing it [22:26] ok [22:27] and restart x and try thebuttons [22:27] you mean, without touching anything else - just install and restart [22:27] yes. [22:28] okies. see you in a sec [22:28] sure [22:33] nope, nothing changed [22:33] tried rewriting the autostart command again [22:33] right... [22:33] and still nothing [22:34] I'm restarting X from the tty thing, btw. Is that alright? [22:34] Shooree, i suppose it is, as long as X really gets restarted [22:34] how do I know it really did get restarted? [22:34] is there a better option [22:35] other than an actual restart [22:35] ctrl+alt+bakcspace should restart x [22:35] I mean, I kill the gdm [22:35] through tty [22:35] killing the gdm doesn't really restart x [22:35] oh [22:35] ohhhh [22:36] well, sorry then. I'll try it immediately [22:36] at least properly, if i'm correct [22:36] np. [22:36] oh oh [22:36] how do I restart it_ [22:36] if I need to [22:36] or does it do that by itself [22:36] :) [22:36] ctrl+alt+backspace when in graphical mode, preferably in gdm [22:37] then x reloads itself [22:37] okies. thanks [22:37] at least in intrepid it should [22:37] lets see :) [22:37] you'll see the screen going black [22:37] damn this slow interweb [22:42] its the same thing, apparently [22:43] through tty is just a longer way [22:43] anyway, the media keys are still not remapped [22:43] yeah. [22:43] right. [22:44] Silly Question but if I am using a laptop with an AMD athlon processor and with a gig of ram will XFCE actually still run light then the Ubuntu desktop? [22:44] whileimhere, it will still run with less ram, but you might not see performance differnece easily [22:45] whileimhere, yes it will [22:45] Shooree, if you issue the ximput command in terminal, what happens? [22:45] well I was wondering about that since I use such heavy progs like GIMP and OO would they be better off in XFCE or GNOME? [22:45] *xinput [22:45] lemme see [22:46] I see usage help [22:46] whileimhere, basically xfce, if you run to the limits of your ram [22:46] whileimhere: it makes no difference [22:46] whileimhere: i use GIMP all the time under XFCE [22:46] As a side non XFCE note is there a faster lighter and better or just as good web browser out there? [22:46] whileimhere, if you run anything that needs under 1 gig, then htere is basically no differnce [22:46] I mean will GIMP respond better under XFCE than under GNOME? [22:46] whileimhere: it makes no difference what WM you run it under [22:47] whileimhere, not really. [22:47] whileimhere: i use it regularly for 3k+ x photos with 384mb RAM [22:47] lc2 you mean that GIMP is just as responsive under GNOME with a 10 meg graphic as it is under XFCE? [22:47] whileimhere: well, other than that XFCE uses less memory and so has more available for GIMP, yeah, pretty much [22:48] whileimhere, there is no difference as long as you don't use all your ram. [22:48] AHH that is really what I was wondering [22:48] Thank you! [22:48] excuse me does anyone know if xfce 4.6 is avalible in xubuntu 8.10 updates? [22:48] Shooree, the complete xinput line which is in part 1? [22:49] drozdak, no. [22:49] too bad [22:49] drozdak, (it isn't) [22:49] why do you think so? [22:50] knome, no, I don't see the line that's in the first step of the post [22:50] I mean [22:50] drozdak, i meant thathat me saying no meant that it isn't in the updates. :) [22:50] what I see is "usage:" and then quite a few command options listed below [22:51] I just typed "xinput" in terminal [22:51] ok [22:51] Shooree, with 'xinput set-button-map "4" 1 2 3 17 18 19 20 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16'? [22:51] was I supposed to open it up for... oh [22:51] should I type that? [22:51] into the terminal [22:52] yeah. [22:52] I made an autostart command out of that [22:52] okok [22:52] I think I understand where this is going [22:52] got and error [22:53] X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) [22:53] when I c/p-ed the line [22:53] right... [22:53] that's what I got. then there's a few more lines [22:53] that's why your keys doesn't work. [22:54] what does that tell us? [22:54] I'd really like to understand what I'm doing [22:54] I mean, I know we're diagnosing [22:55] i have to say i don't have a slightest clue. [22:55] hahaha [22:55] great [22:55] but that's where it comes down to. have you read all the comments for that thread? [22:56] yes, several times. but then there's other threads. and even more of them. [22:57] maybe you could search for your specific problem from the threads. [22:57] atm i have so slow internet connection i just can't do quick browsing :( [22:57] yea I did do that already. it's my 10th hour of poking around. [22:58] I just figured I might stumble into someone who could sort of filter all the noise out [22:58] sorry to hear that. i hope someone with more experience with those issues come up. [22:59] mm [22:59] anyways, thanks a lot [22:59] it was fun to be optimistic for a while [22:59] np [23:00] :] === CostaRicanQuaker is now known as CostaRicanAnarch === thedave1 is now known as thedave === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak
