[03:26] <Delta621> hey guys
[03:27] <Delta621> I've got an installation problem.Can anyone help me out?
[03:35] <Delta621> hi there

[07:01] <evilbug> 1.) there's a panel item in gnome called Drawer where all shortcuts are placed, how can i do that in xubuntu?; 2.) how do i add Places in the main menu?
[07:13] <mespejel> hi.. one question.. 64 bit edition is just for amd processors??? i cant use 64 bit edition with intel core duo???
[07:14] <evilbug> 64-bit is for all 64-bit processors.
[07:15] <evilbug> there are some compatibility issues with flash and some other stuff on 64-bit though. just stick to 32-bit, it really doesn't make a difference in performance unless you use it for scientific computations.
[07:15] <mespejel> i see
[07:16] <mespejel> thanks
[07:16] <mespejel> cause i read its for AMD64 or EM64T architecture
[07:16] <mespejel> so i was not sure about using it with intel
[08:39] <favro> is there a file I can edit/create to get autostarted apps? - there's no menu entry for it...
[08:55] <evilbug> favro- there should be one by default.
[08:56] <favro> evilbug: that was my impression as well...
[08:56] <evilbug> Applications > Settings > Autostarted Apps
[08:56] <favro>  Applications > Settings > Nothing About Autostarted Apps
[08:56] <evilbug> if there's not, then something went sideways at install. did you use the livecd or alternate?
[08:56] <favro> nada
[08:57] <evilbug> ?
[08:57] <favro> evilbug: alternate
[08:57] <favro> ?
[08:57] <evilbug> oh... the alternate worked better for me :| the livecd install didn't boot the newer kernels....
[08:58] <evilbug> did you have the cd verified after burn?
[08:58] <favro> everything is fine except for the menu entry for autostarted apps
[08:58] <favro> yeh did the md5 check
[09:02] <evilbug> and it's the 8.04.1 i_386 .iso?
[09:05] <favro> I need a file in ./.config/autostart for each app :)
[09:05] <evilbug> i'm not an expert on linux seeing as to how i'm new myself... but what i can tell you for sure is that it's been a bug about 18 months ago but i see it's been labeled as "fixed", and that cody can for sure help you out with it.
[09:09] <favro> I made the relevant dir/file and I'll log out and check
[10:42] <simoo> Hi, is there a way I can stop the network manager using the keyring?, sinse swapping to wireless I now have to enter a password every boot

[16:00] <vol> Hi. I'm not running xubuntu, but I did apt-get install of xfce, and I'm running in xfce. I'm trying to edit my menus. Looking online, I'm told to edit /usr/share/applications/cream.desktop, but this file doesn't exist. there are other files in /usr/share/applications. Should I modify one of them instead?
[16:01] <vol> I would like to add a few entries to a few menus such as "development" instead of creating a new menu
[16:02] <vol> Oh, sorry, I misread the instructions. This was for the app cream. Nevermind.
[17:46] <JinKazama> hi all :)
[18:05] <marenostrum> Hello. Xubuntu 8.04 here. How can I use Noscript add-on but let Flash content? There's a tab named "plug-ins" and there's a check box to ban Adobe Flash, but even when I uncheck it, noscript doesn't let Flash content. There says (retranslating from Turkish): "These settings are valid for the pages that are new or installed by yourself." I can't get what it means. How can I let Flash with Noscript still active?
[18:52] <ghetek> hey guys i need to share out /dev/md0 to 2 different users on the system so that both users can mount this as a share in windows. can i get some help please?
[18:59] <{NaTe}> hey there - just switched from Ubuntu to Xubuntu - wondering where I can configure the keyboard shortcuts
[19:00] <{NaTe}> any one here?
[19:01] <bytor4232> I'm here
[19:01] <danielm> {NaTe}: Checkout the Settings panel, -> Keyboard.. there is a 'shortcuts tab"
[19:01] <bytor4232> You have to be patient in IRC
[19:01] <bytor4232> Go to the settings manager, then click on keyboard.
[19:02] <bytor4232> Under shortcuts, click add
[19:02] <{NaTe}> awesome - thx, sorry 'bout the patience
[19:02] <bytor4232> Give the theme a name, then you can begin to bind your own personal keybindings.
[19:03] <{NaTe}> will do
[19:03] <bytor4232> Its all good man.
[19:03] <bytor4232> A lot of people blaze into the channel, ask a question, and leave before anyone can help.
[19:03] <bytor4232> Its a common problem.
[19:04] <{NaTe}> I'm sure - I just didn't see any activity so I wasn't sure if the chan was empty or not
[19:05] <{NaTe}> is the standard terminal xterm?
[19:05] <zoredache> try applictions \ settings
[19:05] <zoredache> settings manager
[19:05] <zoredache> ack... and then keybaord
[19:06] <zoredache> define standard?  xterm is install.   xfce4-terminal is probably installed
[19:07] <{NaTe}> just looking for the default from install that appears in "Applications/Accessories"
[19:07] <bytor4232> Its xfce4-terminal
[19:07] <{NaTe}> thnx
[19:45] <slow-motion> hi
[19:54] <the7thmagus> hey. I was wondering if xubuntu has all the same drivers and everything as Ubuntu. because my Netgear MA111 (prism2_usb) works in Ubuntu Hardy but not in Xubuntu Hardy
[19:55] <lesshaste> how do I stop the laptop going to sleep when I close the lid?
[20:02] <ra> Hello! I have a slow PC I would like to install xubuntu on, I have a Desktop CD but starting X is too resource intensive
[20:02] <ra> Can I start xubuntu from the CD without the X UI to see if the networking works?
[20:05] <zoredache> you probably want to start with the alternate installer cd
[20:06] <ra> can I test if the network works from there?
[20:53] <zoredache> ra: most wired devices can be easily tested there...
[20:54] <ra> thanks! I wasn't too clear about that "probably"
[21:03] <zoredache> what type of network card do you have?  You could also try checking on google
[21:09] <ra> ah no worries, there's nothing like checking this practically :D
[21:24] <ThePhoenix28> hi
[21:24] <zoredache> !hi | ThePhoenix28
[21:24] <ubottu> ThePhoenix28: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu!
[21:24] <ThePhoenix28> Can anyone help me/
[21:24] <ThePhoenix28> ?
[21:24] <zoredache> !anyone | ThePhoenix28
[21:24] <ubottu> ThePhoenix28: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[21:24] <ThePhoenix28> I will
[21:25] <ThePhoenix28> I seem to be having a problem with hard drive detection
[21:25] <ThePhoenix28> because when i run xubuntu from the cd and load Gparted it dosent detect my harddrive
[21:26] <ThePhoenix28> and when I try to install xubuntu it freezes at the partion screen; it just keeps loading and loading
[21:26] <ThePhoenix28> anyone have any ideas?
[21:26] <zoredache> is it sata?  If so, you might try going into your bios and setting your sata controller to legacy mode
[21:27] <ThePhoenix28> no its not
[21:27] <zoredache> is the drive visible in the bios?
[21:27] <ThePhoenix28> yes
[21:28] <ThePhoenix28> i think its a ultra dma66 ide
[21:28] <ThePhoenix28> but im not entirerly sure
[21:29] <ThePhoenix28> which is probably the problem cause i have to use the "linux ide=nodma" command to get it to boot
[21:30] <zoredache> hrm...
[21:30] <zoredache> and you are using the most recent version of ubuntu?  8.04.1 (aka hardy)
[21:34] <zr> hi, I installed xubuntu on my p900 but I cant hear any sound
[21:34] <zr> alsamixer reports all channels are unmuted and a max
[21:34] <zr> no sound at all from speakers or heaphones

[21:38] <mlynn5> where can i find info on how to connect to nfs shares with xubuntu?
[21:39] <TheSheep> !nfs
[21:39] <ubottu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[21:49] <mlynn5> hmm, yes i've followed that guide and my ubuntu laptop can connect to the shares but my xubuntu second desktop cannot
[21:50] <zoredache> and you can ping the nfs server from computer that doesn't work?
[21:51] <mlynn5> yup
[21:52] <zoredache> hrm...  pastebin your /etc/exports perhaps?
[21:52] <mlynn5> i'm sorry, what do you mean?
[21:53] <zoredache> I mean post the contents of your /etc/exports file on the server to pastebin
[21:53] <zoredache> !pastebin | mlynn5
[21:53] <ubottu> mlynn5: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[21:53] <mlynn5> cool, thanks. sorry about that, i haven't had to do that before. will do
[21:55] <mlynn5> http://paste.ubuntu.com/38597/
[21:55] <zoredache> your are only allow a single ip address to connect  (192.168.1.100)
[21:56] <zoredache> you probably should replace the '192.168.1.100/....' with '192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0'
[21:57] <zoredache> that block of the config is not a range of addresses it needs to be netwwork/mask
[21:58] <zoredache> after updating your config you'll need to re-export on the server
[21:58] <mlynn5> damn! i get it, you were right
[21:58] <mlynn5> works now
[21:59] <mlynn5> thanks for checking that out for me
[22:10]  * ra congrats the xubuntu team for the "alternate cd" installer... ..the desktop one was too "heavy" for this PII450/192MB --- but the alternate one works just fine!
[23:44] <bhall_> Hello.  I'm looking to us Xubuntu for a university computer lab and have some questions about how to customize and set defaults for all users.  Mind if I ask away?
[23:49] <leche> bhall_: edit the skels in /etc/skel
[23:49] <bhall_> The users already exist, so that's not really an option.  I'll do that if I remaster the liveCD though
[23:49] <leche> if you dont have them, create them ^^
[23:49] <TheSheep> bhall_: most xfce-related defaults are in /etc/xdg
[23:50] <TheSheep> bhall_: but config files in their ~/.config override that
[23:50] <bhall_> Ah, I see.  Good tip.  Thanks.
[23:50] <bhall_> Is that were I could setup default theme, background etc?
[23:51] <bhall_> (I've been using a version of Xfce 4.0.6 that I modified years ago.  Things have changed a lot since then.)
[23:52] <TheSheep> bhall_: yes
[23:54] <bhall_> Cool.  /etc/xdg looks to have most of what I'm looking for.  Thanks.
[23:56] <bhall_> So, if I understand this, I can just remove /etc/xdg/autostart/bluetooth-applet.desktop or update-notifier.desktop and it just won't load those, right?
[23:57] <bhall_> Ok, it looks like everything I need is in /etc/xdg.  It's even very logically laid out.  (Thanks xubuntu/xfce devs!)
[23:57] <TheSheep> bhall_: yes, or you could edit them and disable them by adding a line to them
[23:58] <TheSheep> bhall_: so that they still display in autostarted applications, but the checkbox is unchecked
[23:58] <bhall_> Oh, so /etc/xdg/autostart is for all of Ubuntu, not just xfce?
[23:59] <bhall_> (bluetooth-applet.desktop for instance has the entry ShowOnlyIn=GNOME
[23:59] <bhall_> )
[23:59] <TheSheep> bhall_: yes, it's from the freedesktop.org specification, ideally it should be respected by all desktop environment
