[00:13] what controls automounting in xubuntu? cause it doesnt seem to be working for me [00:14] hal afaik [00:15] hmm [00:15] wouldnt that not being functional screw other stuff up? [00:16] what are you trying to automount [00:28] anything i put in the dvd drive [00:29] the drive works i installed from it and i can mount stuff from the cli [00:29] automount is inop though [00:38] well lets see if the gnome volume manager being installed fixes things [00:55] well installing gnome volume manager didnt fix anythign [00:56] do you have anything else mounted where the cdrom0 should normally be mounted ie. another hdd [00:56] nope [00:57] and it works if i manually mount it [00:57] wierd, i wonder if somehow it was removed from .hal.mtab [00:58] and it seems to only effect the cdrom because usb devices show up [01:36] so any ideas on how to fix automounting === oem is now known as evil_tech [01:43] anyone? [02:24] Can I seek help for ubuntu here? [02:26] Is there someone here that can help me witht he installation [02:28] what do u have problems with? [02:29] after you hit [02:29] install/load or what ever the first option is [02:30] is it supposed to take 5+ minutes before you see anything after that? [02:30] when you load off disk [02:31] nope :O [02:32] how long is it supposed to be at the screen with the moving bar [02:32] depends on ur pc i guess [02:32] but not 5 minutes =p [02:32] ill check to make sure my files aren't corrupted [02:33] even my p2 200mhz or something starts in 1min or so [02:34] im running an amd 64 bit 2.01ghz [02:38] hmm no idea then :( [03:59] yo... anyone who has experience with vnc-server.. ultravnc won't connect [04:04] yeh - I use vnc to connect to my server [04:04] have you got the right comp name and ip address? [04:05] yeah [04:05] and it's LAN [04:05] Just trying to set it up [04:05] seems tricky on Xubuntu [04:06] Been flowing this thread: http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2006/12/xubuntu-remote-desktop-with-vnc4server.html [05:11] å [05:11] sorry [05:11] ...not [05:13] ...but I would like to ask if I can edit the menu of applications etc. of XUBUNTU via [gedit] or [leafpad] ??? [05:13] because the menu editor is useless! [05:20] I agree sugardrunk - it needs work! [05:21] sugardrunk, I'm not on my xubuntu bow atm - can you type in a terminal - locate menu* - and we'll see if we can't edit it [05:29] i would just like to know if xfce4 stores the menu somewhere [05:30] gotta find it first [05:32] can it be a anywhere :D [05:34] /usr/share or /usr/bin I think [05:34] ok, and is there a name fot the file? [05:35] I would try locate menu [05:37] ... [05:37] i cannot edit it that way... [05:38] but thanks [05:38] maybe i'm too tired... [05:38] need to go to sleep :D [05:38] that finds it then sudo mousepad /path/to/file [05:39] a new trial tomorrow... or maybe the day after... [05:39] thanks anyways [05:39] that menu would not give me edit anything [05:40] k [05:40] there was nothing usefull [05:40] but that is for another day [05:40] sorry :D [05:40] i am too epic [05:40] :D [05:40] bye :D [05:40] can you right click an entry you want to move? [05:43] ... so im looking for the applications memu of the panel... but im drunk... [05:44] and there is nothing if I locate it [05:44] or in the "menu editor" ... which is useless :D [05:45] you open applications and there isn't any applications? [05:45] there is / are [05:45] but cannot edit them [05:45] from where? [05:45] o [05:45] h [05:46] yea the menu editor... [05:46] there is no apps [05:46] none [05:47] try this - open the applications menu - right click an option you want to remove or whatever - and you should get a drop down menu giving you choices [05:47] xfce4? [05:47] xubuntu? [05:47] no way [05:48] like I said earlier I'm not at my xubuntu box atm... [05:48] yep [05:48] thanks anyways [05:49] i am also NOT in my full sense right now :D [05:49] k [05:49] so.... [05:49] :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD [05:49] :DDDDDDDD: [05:49] :DDDDDDDDD [05:50] funny [05:50] but nice [05:50] :D [05:50] dont spam [05:50] bye [05:50] i wont, no more [05:51] soldats, and was not for you either... so no offence [05:51] soldats, or "your matter" [05:51] soldats, but sorry [05:53] :P [05:53] soldats, no really [05:54] soldats, dont take it so serious :D I lost the track my self (had a question that went...) [05:55] [07:29] i would just like to know if xfce4 stores the menu somewhere [05:56] and how to edit it by gedit / leafpad / mousepad or such [05:56] you mean for the system part of the menu [05:57] all of them.... menu editor wont work [05:57] the whole menu [05:58] where is it stored [05:58] where are the files for it? [05:59] it isnt, the xfce menu is restrictive in that you need to either edit the xml files or you can create .desktop files in order to edit the menu. a quick reference to the xubuntu xfce wiki should give you all the info you need [05:59] something like /.config/xfce/menu or similar to that i cant remember [05:59] ok thanks [05:59] go to the wiki for xubunut though [06:00] i will look for them tomorrow and figure out (don't even know why I was bothering tonight... sorry :D) [06:00] its alright well now you know where to look :) [06:01] yea :D === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache [07:03] I just installed ubuntu I'm pretty much a newbie to this os, and I am trying to get my sound card to work, Im using a dell MT3705 that had vista on it [07:36] Hello [07:37] Question: I'm currently running Ubuntu, and have added KDE, and want to add XFCE as well. ANy suggestions of how I should go about that? [07:39] sudo apt-get install xubuntu would work [07:39] might install more than you want, though [07:39] depends [07:39] when you say you're running "ubuntu", do you mean "kubuntu" or "ubunu" ? [07:40] Ubuntu, the one that defaults to Gnome. My girlfriend prefers KDE, and I run a number of KDE apps, plus I wanted to play with KDE more, so I installed KDE [07:41] ok [07:41] yeah so you could probably just type "sudo apt-get install xubuntu" with no problems then [07:41] I was considering messing with some older hardware, and just generally wanted to see more of XFCE [07:42] sudo apt-get install xfce4 [07:42] Groovy [07:42] it's in synaptic if you want GUI [07:42] ere4si: Why that command over aanderse's suggestion? [07:43] xubuntu is a distro - xubuntu-desktop installs xfce4 + apps - xfce4 installs the window manager and uses installed apps [07:44] Gotcha. Would installing the xubuntu apps cause any trouble for me? [07:45] not at all - you would just double up on some things is all [07:45] Multiple word processors, media players, browsers, etc? [07:45] yep [07:45] if you've got the space... [07:45] Actually, I'd kinda like to try some of them [07:46] go ahead with xubuntu-desktop for the experience :) [07:47] when you install it you will see the extra apps as dependencies [07:47] OK [07:56] Cool. The command line spat back "package xubuntu not found," but Synaptic had it [07:57] ...which I thought I had looked at previously... [07:57] wierd it should have been there [07:58] BTW, how well does xfce handle KDE and Gnome applications? I recall some time ago that the different platforms didn't always play nice [08:26] now I've finally the page of ubuntu free penguin edition: http://www.freepenguin.it/ubuntufp-download-en.html [11:38] hi [11:41] !hi [11:41] Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! [11:41] how do I edit 'system' menu? [11:42] quittt, what os do you have? [11:42] Xubuntu [11:43] (what a question!) [11:46] you just asked on #ubuntu quittt - which is why I checked... [11:46] ok [11:47] there's a menu entry applications - settings - menu editor tried that? [11:48] yes [11:48] but everything is inside 'system' [11:48] useless [11:49] http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/07/12/manually-edit-the-xfce-menu/ [11:50] https://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/08/04/howto-remove-menu-entries-from-the-system-menu/ [11:52] PeckaH, and where is the menu entries that are located in Others in XFCE? [11:52] because they are NOT in those places [11:53] PeckaH, actually they are "lost" in other place [11:53] $ locate *.desktop [11:54] I had the same problem a while back and those are the main things I did [11:55] /usr/share/gnome/apps/Games [11:55] argh hehe [11:55] thanks =] [11:57] :) [12:00] PeckaH, how do I restart it? [12:00] restart the XFCE menu? [12:02] or restart X, I don't really remember [12:11] i can't get my 2 soundcard setup work functionally ): [12:11] i want standard sound in soundcard 0 [12:12] and i want to play music in soundcard 2 === lan3y is now known as Laney [14:51] Hello :) I am trying to put Ubuntu (Xubuntu to be specific) on a laptop with no CDROM drive. It can ONLY boot the HDD, no FDD or USB Devices. I am trying to install it from another machine, with the HDD attached to a USB adapter. But it seems to want to detect all hardware from the installing machine. [14:51] Is there a way to get it to detect the hardware of the machine I install it in next? [14:52] Or to otherwise get an installer ON the hard disk to install from the proper machine? [15:53] Epicenter713: Does this help? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-ubuntukubuntuedubuntuxubuntu-without-cdrom-drive.html [16:36] Fully updated Xubuntu. Everything is fast and responsive when I first am logging in, or when I click "log out" in XFCE. but once XFCE finishes loading everything is sluggish and horribly choppy, even mouse movements are badly delayed. Any ideas what may be wrong? :( [17:07] Epicenter713, if hard disk activity is huge try to look for gam_server process and kill it. [17:07] also if you have slower gr. card, uninstall compiz fusion [17:10] It's a Silicon Motion Lynx3DM+, really really low end [17:10] Isn't compiz crazy GPU intensive? [17:10] Xorg is using 96% of CPU [17:17] in xubuntu one can set the screen resolution in settings>screens and graphics as well as settings>display settings. whats the difference? and if by chance anyone is using samtron 55v 15inch crt could you suggest what is the best resolution to work and the herz too? [17:19] nanbudh, zou need to find EXACT specification for horizontal and vertical refresh ranges for zour monitor. And zou need to run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and set all frequencies right. If zou dont set frequencz right, zou can damage zour monitor if frequencz is out of range [17:22] nikolam: my monitor is quite old and i donot have its manual or anything with me. how can i find out the specs? [17:30] nanbudh, on internet. I can trz to find it [17:32] i am searching.. [17:32] nanbudh, it is samsung monitor, is it not? [17:32] yes samsung samtran 55v 15 inch CRT [17:32] *samtron [17:33] the thing is there is a samtron 55v mentioned in the screen and graphics. but one can change the resolution too. which resolution to choose is the question [17:35] BRB [17:37] back [17:38] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54498/ [17:38] 30-55 horizontal, 50-120 vertical [17:39] Samtron; Samtron 55v; sam12b7; 30-55; 50-120; 1 [17:40] nikolam: can i set these in settings>screens and graphics? or shold i use dpkg xorg server command u told me earlier about? [17:41] and which resolution should i use? [17:41] try 1024x768 that will work for shure [17:41] and 60hz and 70 and 75hz refresh rate. [17:42] check other specifications for higher refresh rate, if it can work [17:43] i just checked that there is no place to set the horizontal and vertical refresh rates anywhere. and yes its working at 1024x768 [17:44] thanks for the help [17:44] there is place to set if you run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, and restart, like you should do. [17:44] samtron 56V(15") with max resolution @ 800x600@85Hz or 1024x768@60Hz [17:45] refresh rates are stated in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [17:46] can i simply do sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make changes over there? that way i wont have to reboot just now. they would take effect the next time. would that be okay? [17:50] Yes you can. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does just that. But it is safer to run a command then to do it yourself. You can always use command line sudo nano to make changes if X wont start. [17:51] okay thank you very much [17:53] np :) [18:14] Hi, is it possible to create a Xubuntu/DeLI dual boot? [18:23] hi [18:23] hi [19:05] i was just wondering.. why is totem player being the default movie app and not mplayer or vlc? [19:12] due to the legal issues with mplayer and vlc. Also, Totem is a simpler and more integrated player [19:13] making it the superior choice up until you actually want to use it to watch a movie, where it all falls down ;) [19:14] shame it doesn't have subtitle support [19:14] but well, all the world speaks English [19:15] it does, if you place the subtitles in the same directory as the movie. Not all formats are supported, though, and it has no support for styled subtitles either [19:16] I have them in the same directory [19:16] pmj, ah, i see [19:16] nevermind [19:16] sorry for bitching :) [19:17] make sure the subtitle file has the exact same as the movie file, except the extension [19:17] exact same name [19:18] or just use a better player, which I'm pretty sure you already did :) [19:38] re [20:58] hi all [21:32] can anyone reccomend a good chess program [21:33] good as in nice looking, or good as in well playing?

[21:42] Terminal [22:00] the xfce4-terminal can be transparent [22:17] hi [22:18] anyone knows if it's possible to install linux from a ntfs windows partition, no-cd, no-floppy [22:18] install xubuntu* [22:18] if the iso is on the windows partition [22:23] !install | Siegfried [22:23] Siegfried: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.
