xmpphi, 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
TheSheepxmpp: is it an old computer?12:25
xmppTheSheep: a recent computer,  and edgy12:27
TheSheepxmpp: check if you get any warnings at the beginning of dmesg12:27
nanonymeACPI/APM stuff?12:32
xmppit could be acpi, anyway i played too much with this system for almost 2 years so it's due for a reinstall12:37
xmppi'll have to do with the power switch since then but i would have prefered to understand the problem anyway12:38

doktoreasmaxamillion, the matter is that it install all evolution package14:10
maxamillionah, that i wasn't aware of14:12
zOOdhello tous.14:55
zOOddeux questions sur les images:14:56
zOOd1- c'est gimp qui s'ouvre a chaque fois que je clique sur une image.14:56
zOOdcomment faire en sorte que ce soit gqview plutot.14:57
zOOd2- comment facilement redimensionner des images sans lancer le gimp (un peu lourd pour ma petite config) ?14:57
TheSheepzOOd: you can change the default application when you right-click a file and select 'preferences'15:16
TheSheepzOOd: you can resize images using ImageMagick15:17
TheSheep!fr | zOOd15:17
ubotuzOOd: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.15:17
zOOdTheSheep: thanks for your answer, and sorry for the language: I missed the chan.15:28
TheSheepzOOd: no problem, I just thought you might have trouble understanding English15:28
zOOdIts 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\leave15:46
kiosksorry15:46
TheSheepzOOd: you can add such an option to thunar15:47
TheSheepzOOd: see the custom actions in the thunar help15:47
TheSheepzOOd: just put the imagemagick command in there15:47
zOOdthx for your help TheSheep, I'll look for that.15:49
kurugahhi18:35
kurugahi 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
kurugahanyone?18:40
zoredachekurugah: what are you trying to do?19:02
kurugahi wanted 2 cp my /home/user dir to /19:02
kurugahit is currently mounted on an sd card19:03
lecheis it possible to write and include a panel applet to xfce without compiling the whole desktop? i mean, is it that modular?19:03
zoredacheIt is off topic, but is there some reason you can't manage to type the wrod to?19:03
zoredachekurugah: anyway where is it mounted at currently?19:04
kurugahit is mounted 2 /home/"username"19:05
kurugahsorry to19:05
zoredacheso the SD card is mounted at /home/username... not /home?19:06
kurugahno /home19:06
kurugahi did this during install19:06
kurugahto move it i booted with a live usbstick and cp -a it over to the root partition19:08
zoredacheok... 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 home19:08
kurugahok ill try now19:10
kurugahzoredache u may not speciky more than one option19:15
kurugahwhen i do the tar19:15
kurugahforgive my noobness19:24
zoredachekurugah: did you type the tar command exactly the way I wrote it?  Including the case?20:13
kurugahyes including the upper case C20:14
kurugahis the | meant 2 be a new command?20:14
zoredacheno20:14
zoredachethe | is the pipe character20:14
zoredachethe point is to use tar to build and archive from one folder, pipe that into tar which will uncompress the archive in a seperate folder20:15
kurugahhmm then i dont know what i could have done wrong20:15
zoredachethe command should be exactly    tar -c . | tar -C /new_home -x20:16

PowenrHello, 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 swap20:18
kurugahzoredache i screwed up i think now its working20:19
kurugahhow do i rename ?20:20
kurugahwith mv?20:20
zoredacheyes mv oldname newname20:20
zoredacheso after unmounting /home the directory will still be there.  you would want to rmdir home20:21
zoredachethen mv new_home home20:21
kurugahok20:21
kurugahty20:21
kurugahzoredache rmdir wont delete because dir not empty20:24
TheSheepit should be empty20:24
zoredachedid you get the SD card unmounted?20:24
kurugahumount /home20:24
kurugahi did20:25
kurugahit semes to be unmounted20:26
kurugahmount -l does not show it anymore20:26
zoredachewell do an ls in /home and see if there is anything in there you care about20:26
kurugahno only lost and found is there20:26
Powenr!forums20:27
ubotuThe Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums.20:27
zoredachewell, the safe thing to do might be to do an  -       mv home old_home20:27
zoredachethat will get it out of the way without possibly loosing stuff20:27
kurugahgood idea20:28
kurugahafter mv new_home home i can reboot?20:29
kurugahdo i have to chown or something?20:30
zoredacheyes, that should be true.20:30
zoredacheno, the tar command should have copyied the permissions/ownership20:30
kurugahwow it worked20:32
kurugahthank you20:32
zoredachenp20:32
kurugahhmm things are a bit scewed now20:59
kurugahskewed21:00

SGLHello21:27
LetsGo67How do I set the UTC in Xubuntu?21:27
SGLDoes anyone know the command to mount a USB HD?21:27
zoredacheSGL: it would depend on what type of filesystem was on the usb hd21:28
SGLntfs21:28
zoredacheand also how many other drives you have in your system21:28
SGL1 hd21:28
LetsGo67How do I set the UTC in Xubuntu?21:28
SGL(also 1 floppy and 1 CD-rom btw)21:28
zoredacheI would start by doing an 'sudo sfdisk -l' to see partition name is21:28
zoredachethen it might be as easy as 'sudo mount /dev/sdnn /mnt'21:29
zoredacheif you want read-write access you would need to install and use ntfs-3g though probably21:29
zoredache!ntfs21:29
ubotuTo view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE21:29
SGLzoredache, I only see sda and sdb21:30
zoredacheLetsGo67: look at /etc/defaults/rcS21:30
SGLI only did a command-line installation, does that make a difference?21:30
LetsGo67Thanks man, I am getting help in ##linux.21:31
zoredacheyou only see sda, and sdb where in sfdisk?21:31
zoredachewhich one has the ntfs partition?21:31
SGLI don't know exactly what I am looking at21:31
zoredachewhen I gave you the command mount /dev/sdnn... the nn was to be replaced with the the real drive/partition number21:31
SGLaaaah21:32
SGLsorry, I didn't get that :)21:32
LetsGo67zoredache: after I open this file, what do I do?21:32
zoredacheLetsGo67: look for the like that says UTC.  change it to yes21:32
LetsGo67zoredache: after?21:33
zoredachesorry?21:33
zoredacheafter changing the file save it and reboot21:33
SGLzoredache, it worked! I now also found in sfdisk where it says that it is the ntfs drive21:33
SGLthank you21:34
zoredacheyour welcome21:34
nonlocalhow do I set a password shorter than 6 characters?23:32
