[00:20] <hsuh> anyone here has urxvt with a customized font? i'm having with xubuntu gutsy
[01:08] <Traveler6> i need help, pissed off
[01:09] <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
[01:10] <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
[01:11] <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
[01:15] <Traveler6> on the forums some say to use alternate cd hmm
[02:17] <mikeaz> Is there a way to get HFS+ support in Linux, specifically read/write to a Mac OS X drive?
[02:21] <LjL> !info hfsplus | mikeaz
[02:21] <ubotu> mikeaz: hfsplus (source: hfsplus): Tools to access HFS+ formatted volumes. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0.4-12build1 (gutsy), package size 45 kB, installed size 236 kB
[02:30] <mikeaz> LjL: how should i mount it so it can write?
[02:30] <LjL> no idea
[02:31] <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] <mikeaz> i can see the files i have to change, i just can't write to them
[02:32] <mikeaz> i'm annoyingly close, but linux isn't my first language
[04:58] <Yamichi> anybody feel like holding a total noob's hand through his xubuntu deflowering?
[05:02] <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...
[05:03] <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
[05:04] <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
[05:05] <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?
[05:06] <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"
[05:07] <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
[05:08] <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
[05:10] <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
[05:11] <zoredache> there are several howtos out on the net that show how to compile fusesmb + afuse to automagically mount things
[05:11] <Yamichi> ::blink::
[05:12] <Yamichi> I'm so used to being the nerd.  this is gonna take some getting used to
[05:14] <zoredache> Yamichi: http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=304131
[05:16] <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
[05:17] <zoredache> start system/add-remove software
[05:18] <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...
[05:27] <Yamichi> wooo... getting somewhere
[05:27] <Yamichi> thanks zore
[05:33] <Yamichi> BLARG
[05:36] <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
[05:37] <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
[05:38] <zoredache> in a gui application you precede a command with 'gksu', in the cli you start a command with 'sudo'
[05:39] <Yamichi> hahahaha- gives me the pink bar that says I'm gonna shoot myself in the foot
[05:41] <Yamichi> I'm gonna go ahead and close that just in case now that I've made my folder...
[05:42]  * Yamichi sighs
[05:42] <Yamichi> my wife is going to STAB me for playing with this thing
[05:48] <Yamichi> OH FOR SHIZZLE!
[05:48]  * Yamichi does the happy dance. takes his five yard penalty for excessive caps
[05:57] <Yamichi> alrighty.  thanks so much zore.  MUCH appreciated
[05:58] <zoredache> np
[06:35] <ryan_> I recently did an update, after rebooting I tried to mound a drive and it locked up
[06:36] <ryan_> I rebooted again and all my desktop settings are messed up, I can;t right click for the menu anymore
[06:36] <ryan_> and I can't change my desktop image
[12:25] <alnokta> hi, i have the sound volume very low on xubuntu while normal on windows, vlc on both..any idea why is that?
[12:30] <TheSheep> alnokta: open alsamixer in terminal
[12:30] <TheSheep> alnokta: and check the various channels
[12:33] <alnokta> TheSheep, yes , what i should do next?
[12:36] <TheSheep> alnokta: well, use left and right arrows to cwitch channels, and up and down arrows to change their volume
 TheSheep, yes , what i should do next?
[12:48] <TheSheep> alnokta: well, the problem didn't go away?
[12:51] <alnokta_> TheSheep, no :(
[12:54] <alnokta_> may be it is because i changed its place on the mb?
[13:14] <alnokta_> TheSheep, how can i make it re detect the sound card?
[13:16] <TheSheep> alnokta_: it does it on every boot
[13:19] <alnokta_> TheSheep, i see PCM item is off, how to turn it on?
[13:35] <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)
[13:42] <sugardrunk> go to window manager tweaks
[13:42] <sugardrunk> do you have "display composition" enabled?
[13:45] <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.
[13:47] <sugardrunk> ok
[13:47] <sugardrunk> can't remember what was the case with compiz on xubuntu 7.10... is it by default?
[14:41] <sugardrunk> I managed to hide my menu.. is there a way to get the original back?
[14:41] <sugardrunk> oh sorry nothing :D
[14:41] <sugardrunk> i hate to edit the menu of XFCE
[14:45] <sugardrunk> it sucks (or just me?)
[15:13] <Simfonyous> Hi
[15:13] <Simfonyous> WHat's the difference between xubuntu and kubuntu?
[15:14] <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
[15:15] <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?
[15:16] <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
[15:17] <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
[15:18] <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
[15:19] <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?
[15:20] <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.
[15:21] <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)
[15:22] <solar_power_geor> ubuntu has a more up to date package base and easier to use
[15:23] <Simfonyous> ok
[15:23] <Simfonyous> thanks guys
[15:23] <solar_power_geor> no prob
[15:44] <Tobias92> Hello xubuntu people. All the icons in openoffice vanished and removing it with --purge and installing again doesn't work. I'm on xubuntu gutsy (just switched). Is there a fix for this?
[15:45] <solar_power_geor> try changing the theme
[15:45] <solar_power_geor> in OOos own options settings
[15:46] <Tobias92> Do you mean the icon style?
[15:46] <solar_power_geor> yes
[15:47] <Tobias92> solar_power_geor, no, it doesn't work
[15:49] <solar_power_geor> hmm - i've never had that prob - thinking
[15:50] <TheSheep> solar_power_geor: do you have the openoffice.org-gtk installed?
[15:50] <solar_power_geor> yes

[22:49] <stupidwhiteman> anybody in here?
[22:49] <solar_george> are you only working from a cli or will the desktop not auto mount
[22:54] <stupidwhiteman> it won't auto mount, invalid mount option when attempting to mount
[22:55] <solar_george> check it in another computer
[22:56] <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
[22:57] <stupidwhiteman> wow
[22:59] <stupidwhiteman> I've used totem player, and it played the first track and stopped.
[23:00] <stupidwhiteman> it autoplayed
[23:00] <solar_george> what about xfmedia - it should be able to handle it
[23:20] <stupidwhiteman> hi w4ett
[23:24] <w4ett> hi
[23:24] <stupidwhiteman> have you had problems playing audio CDs? "invalid mount option" when it tries to automount?
[23:25] <stupidwhiteman> or rather, when I try to "mount the volume"
[23:26] <stupidwhiteman> sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 doesn't work either
[23:26] <w4ett> noproblems at all
[23:27] <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
[23:28] <w4ett> I run xubuntu on an eeepc, so that is pretty much a moot point with me
[23:29] <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
[23:30] <stupidwhiteman> maybe it's an xfce problem
[23:31] <stupidwhiteman> but I haven't found my exact problem on google yet
[23:32] <w4ett> did u do a good search on the forums
[23:32] <w4ett> or you might ask on #ubuntu
