xmpp | hi, my xubuntu doesn't power off completely, there is the shutdown logo and animation and then it hangs with a cursor on top left and nothing can be typed, what could be broken/corrupted ? | 12:19 |
TheSheep | xmpp: is it an old computer? | 12:25 |
xmpp | TheSheep: a recent computer, and edgy | 12:27 |
TheSheep | xmpp: check if you get any warnings at the beginning of dmesg | 12:27 |
nanonyme | ACPI/APM stuff? | 12:32 |
xmpp | it could be acpi, anyway i played too much with this system for almost 2 years so it's due for a reinstall | 12:37 |
xmpp | i'll have to do with the power switch since then but i would have prefered to understand the problem anyway | 12:38 |

doktoreas | hello everybody | 13:55 |
doktoreas | is there a LAtex editor for xfce4? | 13:55 |
maxamillion | doktoreas: not necessarily "for xfce4" but i think Lyx is pretty light wieght and rather standard for latex users .... http://www.lyx.org/ (its also in the repositories) | 14:02 |
doktoreas | maxamillion, the matter is that it install all evolution package | 14:10 |
maxamillion | ah, that i wasn't aware of | 14:12 |
zOOd | hello tous. | 14:55 |
zOOd | deux questions sur les images: | 14:56 |
zOOd | 1- c'est gimp qui s'ouvre a chaque fois que je clique sur une image. | 14:56 |
zOOd | comment faire en sorte que ce soit gqview plutot. | 14:57 |
zOOd | 2- comment facilement redimensionner des images sans lancer le gimp (un peu lourd pour ma petite config) ? | 14:57 |
TheSheep | zOOd: you can change the default application when you right-click a file and select 'preferences' | 15:16 |
TheSheep | zOOd: you can resize images using ImageMagick | 15:17 |
TheSheep | !fr | zOOd | 15:17 |
ubotu | zOOd: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 15:17 |
zOOd | TheSheep: thanks for your answer, and sorry for the language: I missed the chan. | 15:28 |
TheSheep | zOOd: no problem, I just thought you might have trouble understanding English | 15:28 |
zOOd | Its ok :-) I know imagemagic, but would there be a light graphical app that would allow me to do that. The best would be an option in thunar ;-) | 15:30 |
kiosk | \leave | 15:46 |
kiosk | sorry | 15:46 |
TheSheep | zOOd: you can add such an option to thunar | 15:47 |
TheSheep | zOOd: see the custom actions in the thunar help | 15:47 |
TheSheep | zOOd: just put the imagemagick command in there | 15:47 |
zOOd | thx for your help TheSheep, I'll look for that. | 15:49 |
kurugah | hi | 18:35 |
kurugah | i have my /home on an sdhc at the moment an need 2 move onto the / partition could anyone please help me on how to do that? | 18:35 |
kurugah | anyone? | 18:40 |
zoredache | kurugah: what are you trying to do? | 19:02 |
kurugah | i wanted 2 cp my /home/user dir to / | 19:02 |
kurugah | it is currently mounted on an sd card | 19:03 |
leche | is it possible to write and include a panel applet to xfce without compiling the whole desktop? i mean, is it that modular? | 19:03 |
zoredache | It is off topic, but is there some reason you can't manage to type the wrod to? | 19:03 |
zoredache | kurugah: anyway where is it mounted at currently? | 19:04 |
kurugah | it is mounted 2 /home/"username" | 19:05 |
kurugah | sorry to | 19:05 |
zoredache | so the SD card is mounted at /home/username... not /home? | 19:06 |
kurugah | no /home | 19:06 |
kurugah | i did this during install | 19:06 |
kurugah | to move it i booted with a live usbstick and cp -a it over to the root partition | 19:08 |
zoredache | ok... well if it was me I would do this... 1) reboot into rescue mode, 2) make a new folder /new_home 3) cd into current home 'cd /home' 4) copy files 'tar -c . | tar -C /new_home -x' 5) unmount /home and remove from /etc/fstab 6) rename new_home to home | 19:08 |
kurugah | ok ill try now | 19:10 |
kurugah | zoredache u may not speciky more than one option | 19:15 |
kurugah | when i do the tar | 19:15 |
kurugah | forgive my noobness | 19:24 |
zoredache | kurugah: did you type the tar command exactly the way I wrote it? Including the case? | 20:13 |
kurugah | yes including the upper case C | 20:14 |
kurugah | is the | meant 2 be a new command? | 20:14 |
zoredache | no | 20:14 |
zoredache | the | is the pipe character | 20:14 |
zoredache | the point is to use tar to build and archive from one folder, pipe that into tar which will uncompress the archive in a seperate folder | 20:15 |
kurugah | hmm then i dont know what i could have done wrong | 20:15 |
zoredache | the command should be exactly tar -c . | tar -C /new_home -x | 20:16 |

Powenr | Hello, I was trying to install Xubuntu , dual boot. I made free space of around 20 GBs or so , with ext3 / , so then I had ext3, NTFS (for windows) , and then "unusable space" , so I could not figure out a way to make the swap | 20:18 |
kurugah | zoredache i screwed up i think now its working | 20:19 |
kurugah | how do i rename ? | 20:20 |
kurugah | with mv? | 20:20 |
zoredache | yes mv oldname newname | 20:20 |
zoredache | so after unmounting /home the directory will still be there. you would want to rmdir home | 20:21 |
zoredache | then mv new_home home | 20:21 |
kurugah | ok | 20:21 |
kurugah | ty | 20:21 |
kurugah | zoredache rmdir wont delete because dir not empty | 20:24 |
TheSheep | it should be empty | 20:24 |
zoredache | did you get the SD card unmounted? | 20:24 |
kurugah | umount /home | 20:24 |
kurugah | i did | 20:25 |
kurugah | it semes to be unmounted | 20:26 |
kurugah | mount -l does not show it anymore | 20:26 |
zoredache | well do an ls in /home and see if there is anything in there you care about | 20:26 |
kurugah | no only lost and found is there | 20:26 |
Powenr | !forums | 20:27 |
ubotu | The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. | 20:27 |
zoredache | well, the safe thing to do might be to do an - mv home old_home | 20:27 |
zoredache | that will get it out of the way without possibly loosing stuff | 20:27 |
kurugah | good idea | 20:28 |
kurugah | after mv new_home home i can reboot? | 20:29 |
kurugah | do i have to chown or something? | 20:30 |
zoredache | yes, that should be true. | 20:30 |
zoredache | no, the tar command should have copyied the permissions/ownership | 20:30 |
kurugah | wow it worked | 20:32 |
kurugah | thank you | 20:32 |
zoredache | np | 20:32 |
kurugah | hmm things are a bit scewed now | 20:59 |
kurugah | skewed | 21:00 |
kurugah | my powerbutton does not ask what to do anymore but just shuts down | 21:01 |
SGL | Hello | 21:27 |
LetsGo67 | How do I set the UTC in Xubuntu? | 21:27 |
SGL | Does anyone know the command to mount a USB HD? | 21:27 |
zoredache | SGL: it would depend on what type of filesystem was on the usb hd | 21:28 |
SGL | ntfs | 21:28 |
zoredache | and also how many other drives you have in your system | 21:28 |
SGL | 1 hd | 21:28 |
LetsGo67 | How do I set the UTC in Xubuntu? | 21:28 |
SGL | (also 1 floppy and 1 CD-rom btw) | 21:28 |
zoredache | I would start by doing an 'sudo sfdisk -l' to see partition name is | 21:28 |
zoredache | then it might be as easy as 'sudo mount /dev/sdnn /mnt' | 21:29 |
zoredache | if you want read-write access you would need to install and use ntfs-3g though probably | 21:29 |
zoredache | !ntfs | 21:29 |
ubotu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE | 21:29 |
SGL | zoredache, I only see sda and sdb | 21:30 |
zoredache | LetsGo67: look at /etc/defaults/rcS | 21:30 |
SGL | I only did a command-line installation, does that make a difference? | 21:30 |
LetsGo67 | Thanks man, I am getting help in ##linux. | 21:31 |
zoredache | you only see sda, and sdb where in sfdisk? | 21:31 |
zoredache | which one has the ntfs partition? | 21:31 |
SGL | I don't know exactly what I am looking at | 21:31 |
zoredache | when I gave you the command mount /dev/sdnn... the nn was to be replaced with the the real drive/partition number | 21:31 |
SGL | aaaah | 21:32 |
SGL | sorry, I didn't get that :) | 21:32 |
LetsGo67 | zoredache: after I open this file, what do I do? | 21:32 |
zoredache | LetsGo67: look for the like that says UTC. change it to yes | 21:32 |
LetsGo67 | zoredache: after? | 21:33 |
zoredache | sorry? | 21:33 |
zoredache | after changing the file save it and reboot | 21:33 |
SGL | zoredache, it worked! I now also found in sfdisk where it says that it is the ntfs drive | 21:33 |
SGL | thank you | 21:34 |
zoredache | your welcome | 21:34 |
