[06:26] yup [06:39] zooboontoo [06:40] eh [06:40] I don't like it [06:40] exboontoo [12:19] 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 ? [12:25] xmpp: is it an old computer? [12:27] TheSheep: a recent computer, and edgy [12:27] xmpp: check if you get any warnings at the beginning of dmesg [12:32] ACPI/APM stuff? [12:37] it could be acpi, anyway i played too much with this system for almost 2 years so it's due for a reinstall [12:38] i'll have to do with the power switch since then but i would have prefered to understand the problem anyway [12:50] is vmi enable in generic kernel? or in server kernel only? [12:50] *enabled [13:11] * R[a]ndom points at the IRSeekBot [13:11] so they're allowed to log here? [13:55] hello everybody [13:55] is there a LAtex editor for xfce4? [14:02] 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) [14:10] maxamillion, the matter is that it install all evolution package [14:12] ah, that i wasn't aware of [14:55] hello tous. [14:56] deux questions sur les images: [14:56] 1- c'est gimp qui s'ouvre a chaque fois que je clique sur une image. [14:57] comment faire en sorte que ce soit gqview plutot. [14:57] 2- comment facilement redimensionner des images sans lancer le gimp (un peu lourd pour ma petite config) ? [15:16] zOOd: you can change the default application when you right-click a file and select 'preferences' [15:17] zOOd: you can resize images using ImageMagick [15:17] !fr | zOOd [15:17] zOOd: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [15:28] TheSheep: thanks for your answer, and sorry for the language: I missed the chan. [15:28] zOOd: no problem, I just thought you might have trouble understanding English [15:30] 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 ;-) [15:46] \leave [15:46] sorry [15:47] zOOd: you can add such an option to thunar [15:47] zOOd: see the custom actions in the thunar help [15:47] zOOd: just put the imagemagick command in there [15:49] thx for your help TheSheep, I'll look for that. [18:35] hi [18:35] 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? [18:40] anyone? [19:02] kurugah: what are you trying to do? [19:02] i wanted 2 cp my /home/user dir to / [19:03] it is currently mounted on an sd card [19:03] 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] It is off topic, but is there some reason you can't manage to type the wrod to? [19:04] kurugah: anyway where is it mounted at currently? [19:05] it is mounted 2 /home/"username" [19:05] sorry to [19:06] so the SD card is mounted at /home/username... not /home? [19:06] no /home [19:06] i did this during install [19:08] to move it i booted with a live usbstick and cp -a it over to the root partition [19:08] 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 [19:10] ok ill try now [19:15] zoredache u may not speciky more than one option [19:15] when i do the tar [19:24] forgive my noobness [20:13] kurugah: did you type the tar command exactly the way I wrote it? Including the case? [20:14] yes including the upper case C [20:14] is the | meant 2 be a new command? [20:14] no [20:14] the | is the pipe character [20:15] 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] hmm then i dont know what i could have done wrong [20:16] the command should be exactly tar -c . | tar -C /new_home -x === web_know2 is now known as web_knows [20:18] 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 [20:19] zoredache i screwed up i think now its working [20:20] how do i rename ? [20:20] with mv? [20:20] yes mv oldname newname [20:21] so after unmounting /home the directory will still be there. you would want to rmdir home [20:21] then mv new_home home [20:21] ok [20:21] ty [20:24] zoredache rmdir wont delete because dir not empty [20:24] it should be empty [20:24] did you get the SD card unmounted? [20:24] umount /home [20:25] i did [20:26] it semes to be unmounted [20:26] mount -l does not show it anymore [20:26] well do an ls in /home and see if there is anything in there you care about [20:26] no only lost and found is there [20:27] !forums [20:27] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [20:27] well, the safe thing to do might be to do an - mv home old_home [20:27] that will get it out of the way without possibly loosing stuff [20:28] good idea [20:29] after mv new_home home i can reboot? [20:30] do i have to chown or something? [20:30] yes, that should be true. [20:30] no, the tar command should have copyied the permissions/ownership [20:32] wow it worked [20:32] thank you [20:32] np [20:59] hmm things are a bit scewed now [21:00] skewed [21:01] my powerbutton does not ask what to do anymore but just shuts down [21:27] Hello [21:27] How do I set the UTC in Xubuntu? [21:27] Does anyone know the command to mount a USB HD? [21:28] SGL: it would depend on what type of filesystem was on the usb hd [21:28] ntfs [21:28] and also how many other drives you have in your system [21:28] 1 hd [21:28] How do I set the UTC in Xubuntu? [21:28] (also 1 floppy and 1 CD-rom btw) [21:28] I would start by doing an 'sudo sfdisk -l' to see partition name is [21:29] then it might be as easy as 'sudo mount /dev/sdnn /mnt' [21:29] if you want read-write access you would need to install and use ntfs-3g though probably [21:29] !ntfs [21:29] 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 [21:30] zoredache, I only see sda and sdb [21:30] LetsGo67: look at /etc/defaults/rcS [21:30] I only did a command-line installation, does that make a difference? [21:31] Thanks man, I am getting help in ##linux. [21:31] you only see sda, and sdb where in sfdisk? [21:31] which one has the ntfs partition? [21:31] I don't know exactly what I am looking at [21:31] when I gave you the command mount /dev/sdnn... the nn was to be replaced with the the real drive/partition number [21:32] aaaah [21:32] sorry, I didn't get that :) [21:32] zoredache: after I open this file, what do I do? [21:32] LetsGo67: look for the like that says UTC. change it to yes [21:33] zoredache: after? [21:33] sorry? [21:33] after changing the file save it and reboot [21:33] zoredache, it worked! I now also found in sfdisk where it says that it is the ntfs drive [21:34] thank you [21:34] your welcome [23:32] how do I set a password shorter than 6 characters? [23:32] I know it is poor practice, bad security etc. [23:33] nevermind [23:33] :/ === luisbg_ is now known as luisbg
