| Traveler6 | i need help, pissed off | 01:08 |
| Traveler6 | i am trying to install x 7.10 from cd | 01:09 |
| Traveler6 | it goes to the partitioner screen but doesn't show anything, completely blank | 01:09 |
| Traveler6 | i rebooted, loaded gparted and created 2 parts both ext to do it manually | 01:09 |
| Traveler6 | and than it still doesnt show anything when i get to the partioner screen | 01:09 |
| hsuh | so how do you now you are in the partitioner? | 01:10 |
| zoredache | not seeing the drives in the partitioner usually indicates that the drive-conroller is not supported | 01:10 |
| Traveler6 | it says "prepare partitions" step 4 of 7 | 01:10 |
| hsuh | older versions worked? | 01:11 |
| Traveler6 | 6.06 yes i believe so, it seems to not be seeing the drive or not mounting it | 01:11 |
| Traveler6 | on the forums some say to use alternate cd hmm | 01:15 |

| mikeaz | Is there a way to get HFS+ support in Linux, specifically read/write to a Mac OS X drive? | 02:17 |

| LjL | no idea | 02:30 |
| mikeaz | LjL: i have a hackintosh, and i'm trying to move around some files because right now i get a panic if i boot into os x | 02:31 |

| Yamichi | anybody feel like holding a total noob's hand through his xubuntu deflowering? | 04:58 |
| zoredache | are you have specific problems? I might be able to help a little, but I am also upgrading servers... | 05:02 |
| ere4si | sounds like it could be wet and messy... | 05:02 |
| The-Kernel | o....k | 05:03 |
| Yamichi | hehehehehehe | 05:03 |
| Yamichi | I'll bring a towel | 05:03 |
| Yamichi | After much berating from co-workers and an over-zealous brother, I installed gutsy on a laptop | 05:03 |
| Yamichi | I'm trying to get it to connect to my home network to pull shared files from my PC | 05:03 |
| Yamichi | when I go into "shared folders" it says I need to install NFS or Samba | 05:03 |
| Yamichi | so I click "install" and the "you need to install..." dialogue just pops right back up | 05:04 |
| tuna | How do I set the default web browser in xubuntu? | 05:04 |
| Yamichi | I went through the package manager and it says the samba is already installed so I'm a bit lost | 05:04 |
| tuna | Yamichi: start synaptic, search for nfs and samba | 05:04 |
| tuna | hmmm | 05:04 |
| ere4si | Yamichi, you need to open up more repositories in the synaptic package manager | 05:05 |
| zoredache | tuna: applications/settings/prefered applications | 05:05 |
| Yamichi | translate that to noobtalk please, Ere? | 05:05 |
| tuna | did you have samba or just samba-common installed? | 05:06 |
| Yamichi | Says I have smbclient, libsmbclient and samba-common | 05:06 |
| tuna | install the package called "samba" | 05:06 |
| Yamichi | there isn't one listed as samba | 05:07 |
| Yamichi | I have samba-common, libsmbclient and smbclient | 05:07 |
| Yamichi | and it says all three are installed | 05:07 |
| zoredache | Yamichi: are you trying to connect TO the windows box or from the windows box? | 05:07 |
| Yamichi | to the windows box | 05:07 |
| tuna | hmmm.. what repositories are you using? | 05:08 |
| zoredache | shared folders doesn't do that | 05:08 |
| zoredache | that is if you want windows to connect to you | 05:08 |
| Yamichi | the laptop is butt nekkid aside from the fresh xubuntu install | 05:08 |
| Yamichi | alrighty | 05:08 |
| tuna | zoredache: didn't work. Opening a random link still opens it in konqueror | 05:08 |
| zoredache | Yamichi: xubuntu doesn't have a native gui smbclient... you can mount file systems from a terminal, or you run install something like pyneighborhood | 05:10 |
| zoredache | there are several howtos out on the net that show how to compile fusesmb + afuse to automagically mount things | 05:11 |
| Yamichi | ::blink:: | 05:11 |
| Yamichi | I'm so used to being the nerd. this is gonna take some getting used to | 05:12 |
| zoredache | Yamichi: http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=304131 | 05:14 |
| Yamichi | not sure but I think this may come back to my initial problem. when I go to shared folders, it says I need to install NFS or Samba. both of which say they are already installed | 05:16 |
| Yamichi | but I'm reading further to see if I can make it stick | 05:16 |
| zoredache | start system/add-remove software | 05:17 |
| zoredache | go to preferences and on the 'downloadable from the internet' make sure everything is checked | 05:18 |
| Yamichi | yeah- that wasn't :-) | 05:18 |
| Yamichi | thanks | 05:18 |
| Yamichi | good grief. that added a LOT of options... | 05:18 |
| Yamichi | wooo... getting somewhere | 05:27 |
| Yamichi | thanks zore | 05:27 |
| Yamichi | BLARG | 05:33 |
| Yamichi | ok so it looks like I'm a super user and in the 'root' group but I can't create folders | 05:36 |
| Yamichi | blah. nvm... | 05:36 |
| zoredache | just because you are in the root groups doesn't mean you can write anywhere | 05:36 |
| Yamichi | well... thought root = god | 05:37 |
| zoredache | yes, but being in those groups means you can become God... not that you are | 05:37 |
| Yamichi | My brother has a shirt that says "god just think's he's root" so that's about my understanding of root | 05:37 |
| Yamichi | ah well damn | 05:37 |
| Yamichi | so how do I ascend | 05:37 |
| zoredache | try this... press alt-f2 and enter the command gksu Thunar | 05:37 |
| Yamichi | I found a workaround I'm just curious what you mean | 05:37 |
| zoredache | in a gui application you precede a command with 'gksu', in the cli you start a command with 'sudo' | 05:38 |
| Yamichi | hahahaha- gives me the pink bar that says I'm gonna shoot myself in the foot | 05:39 |
| Yamichi | I'm gonna go ahead and close that just in case now that I've made my folder... | 05:41 |
| * Yamichi sighs | 05:42 | |
| Yamichi | my wife is going to STAB me for playing with this thing | 05:42 |
| Yamichi | OH FOR SHIZZLE! | 05:48 |
| * Yamichi does the happy dance. takes his five yard penalty for excessive caps | 05:48 | |
| Yamichi | alrighty. thanks so much zore. MUCH appreciated | 05:57 |

| TheSheep | alnokta: and check the various channels | 12:30 |
| alnokta | TheSheep, yes , what i should do next? | 12:33 |
| TheSheep | alnokta: well, use left and right arrows to cwitch channels, and up and down arrows to change their volume | 12:36 |
| alnokta_ | <alnokta> TheSheep, yes , what i should do next? | 12:40 |
| TheSheep | alnokta: well, the problem didn't go away? | 12:48 |
| alnokta_ | TheSheep, no :( | 12:51 |
| alnokta_ | may be it is because i changed its place on the mb? | 12:54 |
| alnokta_ | TheSheep, how can i make it re detect the sound card? | 13:14 |
| TheSheep | alnokta_: it does it on every boot | 13:16 |

| Whitman | I've set the terminal to have a transparent background but no matter what level of transparency I set the background stays black. Am I missing something? (xubuntu 7.10) | 13:35 |
| sugardrunk | go to window manager tweaks | 13:42 |
| sugardrunk | do you have "display composition" enabled? | 13:42 |
| Whitman | I do now and the terminal transparency works, but it's very slow. It's an old machine with an ati rage card. Never mind. | 13:45 |

| Simfonyous | Hi | 15:13 |
| Simfonyous | WHat's the difference between xubuntu and kubuntu? | 15:13 |
| solar_power_geor | Xubuntu uses xfce kubuntu uses kde as the desktop environment | 15:14 |
| solar_power_geor | both are based on the ubuntu base system | 15:14 |
| Simfonyous | solar_power_geor, what about gnome? | 15:15 |
| solar_power_geor | gnome is used by the main ubuntu system | 15:15 |
| Simfonyous | ah.. ok | 15:15 |
| Simfonyous | so Ubuntu is gnome, kubuntu is kde and xubuntu xfce | 15:15 |
| Simfonyous | right? | 15:15 |
| solar_power_geor | yes | 15:16 |
| Simfonyous | Another thng Iw as wondering is application compatibility | 15:16 |
| Simfonyous | will kde apps wirk in gnome? | 15:16 |
| Simfonyous | or gnome apps in xfce | 15:16 |
| solar_power_geor | yes but kde apps will not follow gnome or xfce themes | 15:17 |
| Simfonyous | but they will work properly? | 15:17 |
| solar_power_geor | gnome and xfce use the same graphics system so you should notice no difference | 15:17 |
| sugardrunk | but there are ways to configure them i think | 15:17 |
| Simfonyous | I'm not concerned with looks, just am wondering if the will fully function | 15:18 |
| solar_power_geor | there will be noting wrong with the application but it will look different | 15:18 |
| Simfonyous | I see | 15:18 |
| Simfonyous | Well, thats good to know.. at lease no compatibility issues | 15:18 |
| sugardrunk | and additional libraries etc. installed of course... but that won't be a problem | 15:19 |
| Simfonyous | What are the advantaes of kde, xfce or gnome? how do I know which is right for me? | 15:19 |
| nanonyme | try out? | 15:20 |
| nanonyme | xfce is the lightest of the three anyway | 15:20 |
| Simfonyous | Is it easy to | 15:20 |
| solar_power_geor | you don't need to reinstall just to try them | 15:20 |
| Simfonyous | I can run any I want? | 15:20 |
| solar_power_geor | just do aptitude install xfce for xfce kde ect. | 15:20 |
| sugardrunk | it is possible to install them all.. and many others | 15:21 |
| solar_power_geor | yes | 15:21 |
| Simfonyous | cool | 15:21 |
| Simfonyous | I'm a windows user. I tried Debian once and really liked it. What is the advantage of using ubuntu over Debian? (if any) | 15:21 |
| solar_power_geor | ubuntu has a more up to date package base and easier to use | 15:22 |
| Simfonyous | ok | 15:23 |
| Simfonyous | thanks guys | 15:23 |
| solar_power_geor | no prob | 15:23 |

| solar_george | are you only working from a cli or will the desktop not auto mount | 22:49 |
| stupidwhiteman | it won't auto mount, invalid mount option when attempting to mount | 22:54 |
| solar_george | check it in another computer | 22:55 |
| stupidwhiteman | the cd? | 22:56 |
| stupidwhiteman | it's an audio | 22:56 |
| solar_george | well you don't need to mount it then - just use an audio player | 22:56 |
| stupidwhiteman | wow | 22:57 |
| stupidwhiteman | I've used totem player, and it played the first track and stopped. | 22:59 |
| stupidwhiteman | it autoplayed | 23:00 |
| solar_george | what about xfmedia - it should be able to handle it | 23:00 |
| stupidwhiteman | hi w4ett | 23:20 |
| w4ett | hi | 23:24 |
| stupidwhiteman | have you had problems playing audio CDs? "invalid mount option" when it tries to automount? | 23:24 |
| stupidwhiteman | or rather, when I try to "mount the volume" | 23:25 |
| stupidwhiteman | sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 doesn't work either | 23:26 |
| w4ett | noproblems at all | 23:26 |
| stupidwhiteman | interesting...I have know idea what could be wrong | 23:27 |
| theunixgeek | I think Xubuntu should be renamed to Ubuntu Lite or Ubuntu Lightweight Edition | 23:27 |
| w4ett | is ur fsta set up right? | 23:27 |
| w4ett | *fstab | 23:27 |
| w4ett | lol | 23:27 |
| w4ett | I run xubuntu on an eeepc, so that is pretty much a moot point with me | 23:28 |
| w4ett | without an optical drive | 23:29 |
| stupidwhiteman | I'm not sure actually, that's where I got the /dev/scd0 and /media/cdrom0 from, it seemed to expect those, but they didn't work...I've looked the web for mounting instructions to no avail | 23:29 |
| w4ett | but my desktop works well with cds | 23:29 |
| w4ett | but I run Gnome on it | 23:29 |
| stupidwhiteman | maybe it's an xfce problem | 23:30 |
| stupidwhiteman | but I haven't found my exact problem on google yet | 23:31 |
| w4ett | did u do a good search on the forums | 23:32 |
| w4ett | or you might ask on #ubuntu | 23:32 |
