[02:18] <keb> i keep getting a "No override present." error when trying to remove a package that is broken
[02:18] <keb> how can i fix this?
[03:01] <mortal1> anyone here installed xubuntu with the alternate disk?
[03:02] <mortal1> Are there any bugs / known issues?
[03:05] <ere4si> most bugs are hardware dependant
[03:47] <david_-_-> hello if i install xubuntu by this sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop then later on decide to delete it and do sudo aptitude --purge remove xubuntu-desktop and sudo aptitude --purge remove xubuntu will that delete all xubuntu codecs files and folders and programs and other xubuntu stuff?
[03:47] <nickellery> david_-_-: I believe so
[03:48] <david_-_-> nickellery: thanks

[03:49] <Utalcn2me> i cannot get the xubuntu-usplash to load on startup or exit, anyone have any ideas?  i uninstalled and reinstalled xubuntu-usplash-artwork to no avail
[03:53] <curiogeo> I have a simple question about repair
[03:53] <curiogeo> I set up a xub 6.06 server that appears to be in trouble
[03:53] <curiogeo> I would like to repair the install
[03:54] <curiogeo> can I just pop the live cd in or the alternate cd in and run the install again to repair system files and the kernel
[03:54] <curiogeo> without losing existing data
[03:55] <curiogeo> config I don't mind losing but I would like to keep my files
[03:56] <curiogeo> sorry for the W word but windows allows you to install this way
[03:56] <curiogeo> install repair
[04:00] <KillerOrca> curiogeo: I know the 7.04 alternate cd had the repair a broken system option
[04:00] <KillerOrca> curiogeo: But I have never used it so you might want to google first
[04:02] <curiogeo> I will try googling
[04:02] <curiogeo> I tried earlier but was not happy with the results
[04:06] <KillerOrca> curiogeo: it might help if you put in "restore ubunutu 6.06' or restore server ubuntu
[04:07] <KillerOrca> curiogeo: restricting it to xubuntu may limit results
[04:07] <KillerOrca> Anyone have any apache experience?
[04:19] <david_-_-> nickellery: i think i will run xubuntu through vb so i do not have to deal with all that stuff and i can be in my main easly as well
[04:31] <Utalcn2me> i screwed up my usplash, can anyone tell me how to fix it?
[05:22] <Utalcn2me> i screwed up my usplash, can anyone tell me how to fix it?
[05:26] <ere4si> !usplash | Utalcn2me
[05:27] <ere4si> the bots dead - I forgot
[05:28] <ere4si> Utalcn2me: run this command and tell us the output pls - sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u
[05:28] <Utalcn2me> yea, i probably will download and install fresh - so everything should be right
[05:28] <ere4si> k
[05:29] <Utalcn2me> been there done that, everything was ok with it, but no usplash on exit or startup
[05:30] <ere4si> did you sudo update-grub after that command?
[05:30] <Utalcn2me> i started hardy by using an alpha with ozos-desktop then went to xubuntu
[05:30] <w00t> hello, how do i set a "open terminal here" command in my thunar right click menu?
[05:30] <Utalcn2me> no i didn't , do you think that would help?
[05:31] <Utalcn2me> ill give it a shot and see what happens
[05:31] <ere4si> Utalcn2me: that commands rebuilds the bit that shows the usplash - you need to let grub know with an update
[05:32] <Utalcn2me> i read a ubuntu wiki, but they didn't mention that - thanks!
[05:32] <ere4si> np
[05:35] <Utalcn2me> i have xubuntu-artwork-usplash installed, and it's selected in update-alternatives, but when update-grub runs, it says - Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ...
[05:36] <ere4si> Utalcn2me: then you need to install one
[05:37] <ere4si> Utalcn2me: the   sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u    command would have said it didn't find one
[05:39] <Utalcn2me> i ran that, and it has *         1    /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-xubuntu.so set as the default
[05:40] <ere4si> Utalcn2me: can you run it again and update grub again?
[05:41] <ere4si> Utalcn2me: and if it fails again browse to that file in /usr/lib and see if it exists
[05:41] <Utalcn2me> so, i got something broke, i think it may be that the alpha ozos disk i used was using dev packages, and now im not. i will run it and reboot in a lil bit
[05:42] <ere4si> k
[05:43] <Utalcn2me> im copying howard stern show to my walkman cellphone right now, it takes awhile to finish :P
[05:43] <ere4si> hehe
[10:07] <HermanChess> you know when you put a panel to free movable, it has link some pixels free from the border, so if I move the mouse to the corner I cant click the xfce menu for example, I can do this if it is fixed, but I need it movable (so windows can fully maximize .... what can i do?
[10:07] <HermanChess> or how can I make windows to "override" panels with fixed position?
[10:21] <KillerOrca> exit
[10:48] <alado2> is it possible to run this disk check that runs sometime at start up from inside ubuntu/xubuntu?
[10:49] <ere4si> alado2: the disk check is called   fsck   and it needs to run on unmounted filesystems - if I need to I run it from the live cd
[10:50] <ere4si> man fsck  for options
 ok, i'll have a look
[10:51] <alado2> but i could actually unmount a disk and then check it?
[10:53] <alado2> in the man page i cant see anything about the doing it on an unmounted disk though, looks like you can do it on already mounted as well
[10:57] <suriro> alado2: is it ext3?
[10:57] <alado2> yes
[10:57] <suriro> then read man fsck.ext3
 ok that was something different, thnx
[11:00] <alado2> but i assume its safe to just unmount the disk and then run it
[11:08] <ere4si> alado2: I made the comment about unmounted filesystems 'cause some people will try to run it on / and that won't work - if you unount the partition you can run it from xubuntu
 yes i understood that now, i just wanted to do it on my other disks anyway so that works, thnx for the help though
[11:21] <m1r> hello
[12:24] <alexandru> i have a bash scripting question
[12:24] <alexandru> (xargs)
[12:24] <alexandru> how do I escape the arguments?
[12:25] <alexandru> find . -name "*.rar" | xargs --max-lines=1 unrar e
[12:25] <alexandru> passes names like "blah blah" without escaping the space
[13:20] <kripz> has anyone got virtualbox and usb working in hardy?
[13:39] <realHans> Hi: 1. Is xubuntu as fast as on a usual Laptop ? 2. Is fast graphic supportet (for games and smooth scrolling in browser ? - I have bad experience with 8.04 and powerpc ...)
[13:41] <realHans> is every xbox already prepared to house an usual HD ?
[13:41] <kripz> xubuntu is suppose to be less resource intensive than gnome
[13:43] <realHans> hmmm ...
[13:48] <alado2> has anybody got voipstunt,voipbuster etc. to work with xubuntu? if so how?
[14:05] <killsalad>  hi all i've got a problem with ltsp-bulid-client it fails to complete and complains about lacks of package xubuntu-artwork-usplash?
[14:30] <realHans> is xubuntu as fast as on a usual pc ?
[14:44] <suriro> realHans: what unusual thing are you comparing it to?
[14:44] <realHans> compared to a usual pc ... about 2 GHz and 1 gb Ram ...
[14:45] <realHans> because the xbox has only 64 MB ram ...
[14:47] <suriro> I dont think anything 1gb can be the same as it is on 64mb
[14:56] <suriro> maybe you should seek for some "linux on xbox" special distro and experiences of its community, rather than a generic distro like Ubuntu
[15:19] <realHans> suriro: i thought xubuntu is for ubuntu on xbox ?
[15:21] <Blueface> Can someone help me with a problem that I got when upgrading to Hardy?
[15:21] <Blueface> Sound used to work perfectly but I don't get any at all using the new kernel
[15:22] <Blueface> Does anybody have a clue about what's causing it and how to fix it?
[15:40] <suriro> Blueface: you have Gnome?
[15:40] <jimmy51vinsky> ii think he was looking for gentoox
[15:41] <Blueface> suriro: I use XFCE

[15:52] <nikolam> I don`t like to restart since I have ja LOT of applications open , I am working on it..

[16:54] <Jeruvy> heya, switched my desktop on a 7.10 box from gnome to xfce, looks great but VNC doesn't work anymore?  It all seems running.  If I try to point to a display (box:1) I get a blank X screen, not the desktop?

[18:38] <robin__> Hi!
[18:38] <robin__> Tried to install xubuntu-desktop and log into it, but failed.
[18:38] <robin__> Seems it is installed (via apt-get install xubuntu-desktop)
[18:39] <robin__> but when I try to login, no splash screen comes up, it just stops.
[18:39] <robin__> and that is Ubuntu Hardy Heron that I'm using.
[18:39] <robin__> Any ideas?
[18:41] <robin__> Should I ask the people in the Ubuntu channel instead? Not sure if this is the right place for this question.
[18:42] <suriro> press ctrl-alt-backspace and retry. It happened to me once or twice.
[18:42] <robin__> I've tried twice, with the same result.
[18:42] <robin__> I'll try again.
[18:42] <robin__> brb
[18:43] <robin__> suriro: it worked!
[18:44] <robin__> suriro: thanks :) !
[18:44] <suriro> np
