[00:20] anyone here has urxvt with a customized font? i'm having with xubuntu gutsy === soldats_ is now known as soldats [01:08] i need help, pissed off [01:09] i am trying to install x 7.10 from cd [01:09] it goes to the partitioner screen but doesn't show anything, completely blank [01:09] i rebooted, loaded gparted and created 2 parts both ext to do it manually [01:09] and than it still doesnt show anything when i get to the partioner screen [01:10] so how do you now you are in the partitioner? [01:10] not seeing the drives in the partitioner usually indicates that the drive-conroller is not supported [01:10] it says "prepare partitions" step 4 of 7 [01:11] older versions worked? [01:11] 6.06 yes i believe so, it seems to not be seeing the drive or not mounting it [01:15] on the forums some say to use alternate cd hmm === ubuntu is now known as mikeaz [02:17] Is there a way to get HFS+ support in Linux, specifically read/write to a Mac OS X drive? [02:21] !info hfsplus | mikeaz [02:21] 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] LjL: how should i mount it so it can write? [02:30] no idea [02:31] 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] i can see the files i have to change, i just can't write to them [02:32] i'm annoyingly close, but linux isn't my first language [04:58] anybody feel like holding a total noob's hand through his xubuntu deflowering? [05:02] are you have specific problems? I might be able to help a little, but I am also upgrading servers... [05:02] sounds like it could be wet and messy... [05:03] o....k [05:03] hehehehehehe [05:03] I'll bring a towel [05:03] After much berating from co-workers and an over-zealous brother, I installed gutsy on a laptop [05:03] I'm trying to get it to connect to my home network to pull shared files from my PC [05:03] when I go into "shared folders" it says I need to install NFS or Samba [05:04] so I click "install" and the "you need to install..." dialogue just pops right back up [05:04] How do I set the default web browser in xubuntu? [05:04] I went through the package manager and it says the samba is already installed so I'm a bit lost [05:04] Yamichi: start synaptic, search for nfs and samba [05:04] hmmm [05:05] Yamichi, you need to open up more repositories in the synaptic package manager [05:05] tuna: applications/settings/prefered applications [05:05] translate that to noobtalk please, Ere? [05:06] did you have samba or just samba-common installed? [05:06] Says I have smbclient, libsmbclient and samba-common [05:06] install the package called "samba" [05:07] there isn't one listed as samba [05:07] I have samba-common, libsmbclient and smbclient [05:07] and it says all three are installed [05:07] Yamichi: are you trying to connect TO the windows box or from the windows box? [05:07] to the windows box [05:08] hmmm.. what repositories are you using? [05:08] shared folders doesn't do that [05:08] that is if you want windows to connect to you [05:08] the laptop is butt nekkid aside from the fresh xubuntu install [05:08] alrighty [05:08] zoredache: didn't work. Opening a random link still opens it in konqueror [05:10] 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] there are several howtos out on the net that show how to compile fusesmb + afuse to automagically mount things [05:11] ::blink:: [05:12] I'm so used to being the nerd. this is gonna take some getting used to [05:14] Yamichi: http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=304131 [05:16] 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] but I'm reading further to see if I can make it stick [05:17] start system/add-remove software [05:18] go to preferences and on the 'downloadable from the internet' make sure everything is checked [05:18] yeah- that wasn't :-) [05:18] thanks [05:18] good grief. that added a LOT of options... [05:27] wooo... getting somewhere [05:27] thanks zore [05:33] BLARG [05:36] ok so it looks like I'm a super user and in the 'root' group but I can't create folders [05:36] blah. nvm... [05:36] just because you are in the root groups doesn't mean you can write anywhere [05:37] well... thought root = god [05:37] yes, but being in those groups means you can become God... not that you are [05:37] My brother has a shirt that says "god just think's he's root" so that's about my understanding of root [05:37] ah well damn [05:37] so how do I ascend [05:37] try this... press alt-f2 and enter the command gksu Thunar [05:37] I found a workaround I'm just curious what you mean [05:38] in a gui application you precede a command with 'gksu', in the cli you start a command with 'sudo' [05:39] hahahaha- gives me the pink bar that says I'm gonna shoot myself in the foot [05:41] I'm gonna go ahead and close that just in case now that I've made my folder... [05:42] * Yamichi sighs [05:42] my wife is going to STAB me for playing with this thing [05:48] OH FOR SHIZZLE! [05:48] * Yamichi does the happy dance. takes his five yard penalty for excessive caps [05:57] alrighty. thanks so much zore. MUCH appreciated [05:58] np [06:35] I recently did an update, after rebooting I tried to mound a drive and it locked up [06:36] I rebooted again and all my desktop settings are messed up, I can;t right click for the menu anymore [06:36] and I can't change my desktop image === daurnimas is now known as daurnimator [12:25] hi, i have the sound volume very low on xubuntu while normal on windows, vlc on both..any idea why is that? [12:30] alnokta: open alsamixer in terminal [12:30] alnokta: and check the various channels [12:33] TheSheep, yes , what i should do next? [12:36] alnokta: well, use left and right arrows to cwitch channels, and up and down arrows to change their volume [12:40] TheSheep, yes , what i should do next? [12:48] alnokta: well, the problem didn't go away? [12:51] TheSheep, no :( [12:54] may be it is because i changed its place on the mb? [13:14] TheSheep, how can i make it re detect the sound card? [13:16] alnokta_: it does it on every boot [13:19] TheSheep, i see PCM item is off, how to turn it on? [13:35] 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] go to window manager tweaks [13:42] do you have "display composition" enabled? [13:45] 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] ok [13:47] can't remember what was the case with compiz on xubuntu 7.10... is it by default? === maxamillion is now known as notMax [14:41] I managed to hide my menu.. is there a way to get the original back? [14:41] oh sorry nothing :D [14:41] i hate to edit the menu of XFCE [14:45] it sucks (or just me?) === notMax is now known as maxamillion [15:13] Hi [15:13] WHat's the difference between xubuntu and kubuntu? [15:14] Xubuntu uses xfce kubuntu uses kde as the desktop environment [15:14] both are based on the ubuntu base system [15:15] solar_power_geor, what about gnome? [15:15] gnome is used by the main ubuntu system [15:15] ah.. ok [15:15] so Ubuntu is gnome, kubuntu is kde and xubuntu xfce [15:15] right? [15:16] yes [15:16] Another thng Iw as wondering is application compatibility [15:16] will kde apps wirk in gnome? [15:16] or gnome apps in xfce [15:17] yes but kde apps will not follow gnome or xfce themes [15:17] but they will work properly? [15:17] gnome and xfce use the same graphics system so you should notice no difference [15:17] but there are ways to configure them i think [15:18] I'm not concerned with looks, just am wondering if the will fully function [15:18] there will be noting wrong with the application but it will look different [15:18] I see [15:18] Well, thats good to know.. at lease no compatibility issues [15:19] and additional libraries etc. installed of course... but that won't be a problem [15:19] What are the advantaes of kde, xfce or gnome? how do I know which is right for me? [15:20] try out? [15:20] xfce is the lightest of the three anyway [15:20] Is it easy to [15:20] you don't need to reinstall just to try them [15:20] I can run any I want? [15:20] just do aptitude install xfce for xfce kde ect. [15:21] it is possible to install them all.. and many others [15:21] yes [15:21] cool [15:21] 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] ubuntu has a more up to date package base and easier to use [15:23] ok [15:23] thanks guys [15:23] no prob [15:44] 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] try changing the theme [15:45] in OOos own options settings [15:46] Do you mean the icon style? [15:46] yes [15:47] solar_power_geor, no, it doesn't work [15:49] hmm - i've never had that prob - thinking [15:50] solar_power_geor: do you have the openoffice.org-gtk installed? [15:50] yes === solar_power_geor is now known as solar_georeg === solar_georeg is now known as solar_george === solar_george is now known as solar_power_geor === solar_power_geor is now known as solar_george === solar_george is now known as solar_power_geor === solar_power_geor is now known as solar_george [19:42] http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/drinks/A273/ [19:42] :D [19:46] re [19:46] lame question [19:47] i've tried to install xfce, but it doesn't show up in the session manager [19:47] what can be wrong< [20:07] how do I get network manager to remember my router password? is there a 'wallet' system in xfce? [20:50] rothchild, i got the same problem [20:54] my xubuntu hang in boot. syslog gives some warnings and criticals.... but i dont understand what to do.

[22:56] it's an audio [22:56] well you don't need to mount it then - just use an audio player [22:57] wow [22:59] I've used totem player, and it played the first track and stopped. [23:00] it autoplayed [23:00] what about xfmedia - it should be able to handle it [23:20] hi w4ett [23:24] hi [23:24] have you had problems playing audio CDs? "invalid mount option" when it tries to automount? [23:25] or rather, when I try to "mount the volume" [23:26] sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 doesn't work either [23:26] noproblems at all [23:27] interesting...I have know idea what could be wrong [23:27] I think Xubuntu should be renamed to Ubuntu Lite or Ubuntu Lightweight Edition [23:27] is ur fsta set up right? [23:27] *fstab [23:27] lol [23:28] I run xubuntu on an eeepc, so that is pretty much a moot point with me [23:29] without an optical drive [23:29] 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] but my desktop works well with cds [23:29] but I run Gnome on it [23:30] maybe it's an xfce problem [23:31] but I haven't found my exact problem on google yet [23:32] did u do a good search on the forums [23:32] or you might ask on #ubuntu
