mcisbackuk | Hi I've just installed Xubuntu Hardy, it seems it hasn't picked up my ATI Radeon 9200 drivers, although Ubuntu 8.04 does...any suggestions?? | 02:07 |
---|---|---|
mcisbackuk | How do I install them anyone? | 02:09 |
ere4si | !ati | mcisbackuk | 02:10 |
ubottu | mcisbackuk: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 02:10 |
mcisbackuk | ere4si: That might be fine for me, but what about the other users hunting for the same thing, when Ubuntu manages to find it fine? I've reported it as a bug anyway | 02:13 |
ere4si | good idea | 02:13 |
mcisbackuk | Thanks anyay, I'll have a look :)# | 02:14 |

jarnos | Hello. I want to remove kubuntu-desktop, but I can not remove kio-umountwrapper due to an error. How do you remove it? | 07:54 |
zoredache | what is the error? | 07:57 |
jarnos | zoredache: I used apt-get to remove, it gives much text, but I guess this is the error: "dpkg: error processing kio-umountwrapper (--remove): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2" | 08:00 |
biro | hi all, is it possible to reorder the applications on the taskbar? | 08:02 |
jarnos | biro: I don't know but I recommend using "Always group tasks" in the properties. BTW it may be hard to get in editing of task list properties, if there are a lot of apps open. | 08:12 |
zoredache | jarnos: that would indicate there is a bug in the post removal script. Depending on how advanced you feel you could go look at the script and try figuring out what is broke | 08:14 |
jarnos | zoredache: I don't even know where the script is. | 08:15 |
zoredache | try running sudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/kio-umountwrapper.postrm purge pastebin the results or post here if they are short | 08:15 |
zoredache | "sudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/kio-umountwrapper.postrm purge" | 08:16 |
jarnos | zoredache: /var/lib/dpkg/info/kio-umountwrapper.postrm: didn't understand being called with `purge' | 08:17 |
zoredache | what was the error you got? | 08:18 |
jarnos | zoredache: that was the only output the command gave. | 08:20 |
jarnos | zoredache: or do you mean the apt-get command? | 08:20 |
zoredache | so this is the exact error message copy&pasted? 'didn't understand being called with `purge' | 08:21 |
zoredache | btw what release/architecure? hardy & i386? | 08:22 |
Assid | heya | 08:23 |
Assid | im trying to use the xbox xubuntu iso, however, i had a question | 08:23 |
Assid | does vnc start up by default? | 08:24 |
Assid | cause i dont have a keyboard/mouse on that | 08:24 |
jarnos | zoredache: yes. | 08:26 |
zoredache | ah... the script is being stupid | 08:27 |
zoredache | try running it like this -- "sudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/kio-umountwrapper.postrm remove" | 08:28 |
zoredache | or if you are completely getting rid of kde you could do something hackish | 08:30 |
jarnos | zoredache: http://pastebin.ca/1012502 | 08:32 |
zoredache | using a command like this would overwrite the postrm script and force it to return report that it has been removed properly -- sudo sh -c 'echo "exit 0" > /var/lib/dpkg/info/kio-umountwrapper.postrm' | 08:33 |
zoredache | the postrm script doesn't look like it is doing anything important so getting rid of it is probably safe | 08:33 |
jarnos | zoredache: now the apt-get command gives "dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-removal script: Exec format error" | 08:38 |
zoredache | hrm.. just delete it maybe | 08:42 |
zoredache | sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/kio-umountwrapper.postrm | 08:42 |
jarnos | zoredache: That did it! I suppose there is bug somewhere. | 08:45 |

larsensen | hi guys | 09:59 |
larsensen | ehiehi someone there? | 10:08 |
larsensen | i need a little help | 10:08 |
TheSheep | !ask | 10:09 |
ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 10:09 |
Iskr_ | is there a way to remove update notifier from system tray? | 10:09 |
jbur2 | Got disconnected. Sorry. | 10:09 |
larsensen | :) | 10:10 |
TheSheep | Iskr_: yes, go to settings->setting manager->autostarted applications | 10:10 |
jbur2 | repost: How does one enable compiz as the default window manager for Xubunut? | 10:10 |
jbur2 | For all the users | 10:10 |
TheSheep | jbur2: you'd make a session file in /usr/share/xsessions/ | 10:10 |
TheSheep | jbur2: one that starts compiz instead of xfwm4 | 10:11 |
jbur2 | thanks I'll try doing that | 10:13 |
larsensen | ok, yesterday i've installed 8.04 to a friend, no problema at all. after downloaded the updates, i putted a second hd expecting that disk manager appear, but nothing append and i haven't found it nor via apt... | 10:17 |
larsensen | how can i find disk manager in xubuntu? is in by default like i think? | 10:19 |
TheSheep | larsensen: settings->setting manager->file manager->advanced->volume management | 10:21 |
larsensen | ah thank you, i will check it | 10:21 |
larsensen | bye guys | 10:24 |
GryzorX | Hello, has anyone installed xubuntu-desktop with apt-get? My Xfce4 session is not starting. I get a cyan background. Under Gnome everything works (thunar, xfce4-panels, etc.) I've thrashed user/.Xfce4-* with no success. I've removed (sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop) and reinstalled it using aptitude but nothing changed. This is 8.04LTS. Thanks. | 10:53 |
suriro | GryzorX: did you solve it? | 11:13 |
GryzorX | suriro: nope :( | 11:13 |
suriro | when the login screen appears, switch to console ctrl-alt-f1, login | 11:14 |
GryzorX | suriro: i just get this "blank" (well, it's cyan) screen. The same i get with gnome, only that gnome loads a few secs later. | 11:14 |
GryzorX | Let me try that, i've got the box right beside me. | 11:14 |
suriro | GryzorX: is this not like xfce hangs and never starts thing? | 11:15 |
GryzorX | ok, I'm on text login. | 11:15 |
GryzorX | I'd love to see a log or something | 11:15 |
GryzorX | If i start gnome, and then run thunar, or even xfce4-panel it works. | 11:15 |
GryzorX | In fact, yesterday, it started once! (without me touching anything afaicr) | 11:16 |
suriro | GryzorX: so the issue is xfce session hangs mostly with a blank backgeound, right? | 11:17 |
GryzorX | but the thing is, i login, select Xfce4 session and Xfce4 doesn't start. (I have to ctrl-alt-backspace ) | 11:17 |
suriro | ok, issue the following on console | 11:17 |
suriro | killall screensaver | 11:18 |
GryzorX | suriro: as far as I understand, yes. It hangs and the background is the "standard" background (which I changed from brown to blue) | 11:18 |
GryzorX | no proc killed. :S | 11:18 |
suriro | ps ax|grep screensaver | 11:18 |
suriro | any output? | 11:18 |
GryzorX | aye, i've got pid 11653 with gnome-screensaver | 11:19 |
GryzorX | shall I kill that one? | 11:19 |
suriro | yes | 11:19 |
GryzorX | just a sec | 11:19 |
GryzorX | kill -15... it's gone | 11:19 |
suriro | ok, ctrl-alt-f7, retry login | 11:19 |
holyguyver_ | Now I know that it came presetup with a cups/as pdf printer driver, but it doesn't allow me to choose a different name or location for the file. Is there any way for me to configure it to let me, or does anyone know of a different pdf diver that does? | 11:20 |
GryzorX | suriro: hmm not working either; however, I switched to text again and gnome-ssaver was there again... | 11:21 |
suriro | GryzorX: sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver | 11:22 |
GryzorX | (I made sure that it got killed, but it reapeared) | 11:22 |
GryzorX | suriro: now that's what I call a : "get the heck outta here darn ssaver" ;) | 11:22 |
GryzorX | suriro: hang on a sec, will do just that. | 11:22 |
suriro | GryzorX: you can reinstall later | 11:22 |
GryzorX | suriro: yeah, not that I really care 'bout those ssavers. | 11:22 |
GryzorX | suriro: ok, gone. Now trying to login again | 11:23 |
GryzorX | suriro: you're a genius :) | 11:24 |
GryzorX | suriro: is this a bug or a "my system only" thing? | 11:24 |
GryzorX | suriro: thank you very much :) | 11:24 |
suriro | GryzorX: gnome stuff is causing deadlock on some configurations, I'm not entirely sure this is repeatable everywhere | 11:25 |
GryzorX | suriro: multithreading is a killer thing :S | 11:26 |
suriro | no, in this case gnome-screensaver is grabbing DISPLAY and not releasing it for xfce | 11:26 |
suriro | but I managed to recover after pressing ctrl-alt-bkspc and retrying login on my laptop | 11:27 |
GryzorX | suriro: ops. Bad ssaver. I had a gnome ssaver, that's true. I'll just leave it at "black screen" | 11:27 |
GryzorX | suriro: yes, in fact, yesterday while I was trying stuff, it logged in once and i was.. WTF? | 11:27 |
GryzorX | suriro: because the moment I logged off, it stoped working. (by the way, will try that right now) ;) | 11:28 |
GryzorX | suriro: now works fine :) | 11:29 |
GryzorX | i like xfce4 :)))) | 11:29 |
suriro | i suppose this is like a timing issue, gnome-screensaver should not start before xfwm | 11:29 |
GryzorX | suriro: true, it has nothing to do there until a window manager is alive and well. | 11:30 |
suriro | on some boxes it always does, and the only way to recvoer is to remove gnome-screensaver. | 11:30 |
GryzorX | i won't install it again, i really don't need it. (ssaver i mean) | 11:31 |
suriro | xscreensaver plays nice with xfce AFAIK | 11:31 |
GryzorX | yeah, will configure that one. | 11:33 |
s_arts | GryzorX: i like xfce4 too. | 11:43 |
TheSheep | xfce has an important role of keeping the gtk apps cross-desktop | 11:44 |
holyguyver_ | Well I will try asking again: Now I know that it came presetup with a cups/as pdf printer driver, but it doesn't allow me to choose a different name or location for the file. Is there any way for me to configure it to let me, or does anyone know of a different pdf diver that does? | 11:45 |
flotishu | firestarter problem since i removed it , then instaled kmyfirewall. removed it. and reinstalled firestarter. http://pastebin.com/m723ea818 some apps like firefox or etherape are not runing too. help? | 11:46 |
GryzorX | s_arts: yeah, it's nice. Tho I liked the old style CDE like panel that old versions had. :) | 11:47 |
s_arts | Well, in theory you could make it look like that again. | 11:47 |
holyguyver_ | yeah just tell it to not extend it | 11:49 |
GryzorX | that's true | 11:57 |
GryzorX | stupid question, is it possible to drag an item from the menu to the panel (like in gnome)? | 12:00 |
holyguyver_ | I don't think so | 12:01 |
GryzorX | what would be the best way to add a program then? Just adding a launcher and finding the binary file in the filesystem? | 12:02 |
holyguyver_ | That is what I do | 12:03 |
GryzorX | holyguyver_: :S that's ugly, but I can live with it. :) | 12:04 |
holyguyver_ | Sorry that I couldn't be of more help, I am relatively new at all this myself | 12:06 |
GryzorX | holyguyver_: :) no problem. THanks anyway. | 12:07 |
holyguyver_ | Now perhaps you can help me with my problem, it is : Now I know that it came presetup with a cups/as pdf printer driver, but it doesn't allow me to choose a different name or location for the file. Is there any way for me to configure it to let me, or does anyone know of a different pdf diver that does? | 12:08 |
TheSheep | hmm... I can select the location of the file in the print dialog | 12:08 |
holyguyver_ | I am on Gutsy | 12:09 |
TheSheep | I don't htink it changed recently | 12:09 |
s_arts | GryzorX: the answer is, holyguyver_ is correct and please submit a feature-request for xfce. | 12:09 |
holyguyver_ | O thank you s_arts, where do I go to submit that? :) | 12:10 |
GryzorX | s_arts: could you please provide me with a link to that? (if you have it handy, otherwise google is my friend) | 12:10 |
holyguyver_ | GryzorX yes if you could submit that for me I would be greatful, because I do not feel that I would be very adaquit at submitting a feature request | 12:11 |
GryzorX | i'll do it. :) | 12:11 |
TheSheep | holyguyver_: http://atos.wmid.amu.edu.pl/~sheep/shot.png <-- like this | 12:11 |
holyguyver_ | thesheep yes | 12:13 |
TheSheep | holyguyver_: there are fileds for selecting the file name and location, under the printer list | 12:14 |
holyguyver_ | TheSheep I see that you have it set up slightly different so let me try configuring it to the way you have it | 12:14 |
holyguyver_ | TheSheep, well on xfce (not sure what you are running it looks very different when I try to do that | 12:16 |
TheSheep | hmm... I might have installed something additional :/ | 12:17 |
holyguyver_ | TheSheep if you're running xfce then your xfce is vista to my xfce's win95 | 12:18 |
GryzorX | holyguyver_: quite a metaphor you threw there… :) | 12:20 |
TheSheep | holyguyver_: what do you mean? it's just a style and some icons | 12:20 |
holyguyver_ | No it looks completely different, is there any way I can show you a screenshot? | 12:21 |
GryzorX | holyguyver_: i just went to my print dialog, and I've got two options (as I've no real printer): Print to File (which looks much like TheSheep's dialog) and PDF. If I use Print To File, i can put the pdf wherever I want. | 12:22 |
holyguyver_ | TheSheep I just offered to send you a screenshot of mine, did you get the request? | 12:24 |
TheSheep | holyguyver_: yes | 12:24 |
holyguyver_ | GryzorX Yes it does allow me to, but it looks nothing at all like his | 12:24 |
TheSheep | holyguyver_: let me see | 12:25 |
holyguyver_ | TheSheep I sent it, so you did not get the send request? | 12:25 |
TheSheep | holyguyver_: I did, I'm copying it to my desktop now | 12:25 |
holyguyver_ | See TheSheep my print to file thing looks nothing like yours :p | 12:27 |
TheSheep | holyguyver_: argh, I forgot to accept the connection :) | 12:27 |
holyguyver_ | there I am sending it again | 12:28 |
TheSheep | holyguyver_: that's a file selection dialog | 12:29 |
TheSheep | holyguyver_: you can navigate with it and you can enter the file name in the field at the top | 12:29 |
holyguyver_ | TheSheep well that is what comes up when I click "print to file" | 12:29 |
TheSheep | holyguyver_: in what application? | 12:29 |
holyguyver_ | firefox when I click on print | 12:30 |
TheSheep | holyguyver_: the dialog I showed you comes when you click on print | 12:30 |
holyguyver_ | mine does too | 12:30 |
holyguyver_ | the one I showed you came from when I click print | 12:30 |
holyguyver_ | See yours is the vista to my win95 but linux & xfceifided :p | 12:31 |
GryzorX | lol | 12:31 |
TheSheep | holyguyver_: you forgot to install xubuntu's default gtk theme | 12:32 |
holyguyver_ | O that might have done it :p | 12:32 |
holyguyver_ | but I installed it from a xubuntu install CD | 12:32 |
TheSheep | and you didn't change anything? | 12:32 |
holyguyver_ | I changed the theme | 12:32 |
holyguyver_ | I changed it to Redmond | 12:33 |
=== i__ is now known as Iskra | ||
=== Iskra is now known as Iskr | ||
GryzorX | that ought to explain why your's look like Win9X | 12:33 |
holyguyver_ | :p LoL | 12:33 |
TheSheep | Redmond = Microsoft HQ | 12:34 |
holyguyver_ | GryzorX but I am right now on a 1998 Gateway with a 4GB harddrive & 90MB ram. | 12:35 |
GryzorX | That also explains why you had that "strange" (if anything) taste :) | 12:35 |
TheSheep | holyguyver_: murrine, the default gtk theme, is actually pretty fast | 12:35 |
GryzorX | Does (x)ubuntu has anything like System Profiler in OS X? (to see the hardware) | 12:36 |
TheSheep | GryzorX: lshw | 12:36 |
holyguyver_ | Yes it does | 12:36 |
holyguyver_ | Yeah I was going to say that | 12:36 |
GryzorX | thanks | 12:37 |
holyguyver_ | GryzorX & that is a terminal cammand | 12:37 |
GryzorX | i'm on a Pentium M 1700Mhz with 512Mb Ram | 12:37 |
GryzorX | yeah, I figured that out | 12:38 |
holyguyver_ | I am on a PentiumIII | 12:38 |
GryzorX | Pentium® power :) | 12:38 |
holyguyver_ | Yeah I know what you mean my PC before this was a 1995 PentiumI | 12:39 |
holyguyver_ | One day I wish to have enough money to buy a new computer & one of those new fangled flat monitars, mine is like a foot deep/thick. | 12:40 |
holyguyver_ | (foot as in USA messurments) | 12:40 |
GryzorX | If it works, don't fix it :) | 12:40 |
holyguyver_ | well lots of my hardware is on the linux driver remove because old & obsolete list, so perhaps I should upgrade. | 12:41 |
holyguyver_ | My sound card is on the remove for obsolete list, & my bios are marked as "past cutoff date" | 12:42 |
GryzorX | my linux box is this Toshiba notebook that a friend of mine discarded. | 12:42 |
GryzorX | but works like a charm with linux | 12:42 |
GryzorX | My main box is a Macbook pro, so I use both OSes :) | 12:43 |
holyguyver_ | Well so far this 1998 is the newest computer I have ever owned | 12:43 |
whileimhere | Hi. | 12:43 |
GryzorX | hi | 12:43 |
holyguyver_ | hi | 12:43 |
GryzorX | at least you have one holyguyver_ ;) | 12:43 |
whileimhere | I was wondering about the autostarted appliations. Is that like the GNOME services dialog? | 12:43 |
GryzorX | I don't know much 'about xfce4 but it looks like the same stuff. | 12:44 |
holyguyver_ | I don't know, I have never used it | 12:44 |
holyguyver_ | I pronounce it x-face is that currect? | 12:44 |
whileimhere | Can I uncheck the print Queue Applet and Restricted Drivers Manager if I dont use a printer and well I dont have any restricted drivers other than the old style 56K modem. | 12:45 |
GryzorX | i'd say x-f c e. (spelling out letters) | 12:45 |
GryzorX | but I'm not a native english speaker. | 12:45 |
Ben_Cs | hello | 12:45 |
holyguyver_ | Well I know I pronounce gnome wrong, I pronunce it nome, but I don't care :p | 12:46 |
Ben_Cs | for some reason on hardy, vlc doesn't show subtitles. anyone knows how to fix it? | 12:46 |
GryzorX | whileimhere: i think that you can safetely uncheck those if you don't use them. | 12:46 |
holyguyver_ | yeah use smplayer instead :p | 12:46 |
Ben_Cs | holyguyver_: vlc is light and supports almost all formats | 12:48 |
Ben_Cs | holyguyver_: but i'll give your player a try | 12:48 |
whileimhere | This is not really a poll okay. I was used to using Sound Juicer to make my ogg files from my CDs. I would like to switch to something lighter on here. Is there anything out there? | 12:48 |
holyguyver_ | smplayer is heavy, but also supports almost all formats :p | 12:48 |
holyguyver_ | this heavy advise coming from someone using a 98 :p | 12:49 |
holyguyver_ | my computer freezed up well playing mp3s :p | 12:49 |
holyguyver_ | freezes(currently) | 12:50 |
whileimhere | Well I have to run right now. BBL | 12:50 |
holyguyver_ | yes my computer even freezes well playing mp3s in xmms :p | 12:50 |
holyguyver_ | So maybe my advise on playing movies is not the best :p | 12:51 |
Ben_Cs | holyguyver_: this player is really bloated. still vlc is the best one. and anyway i would use mplayer instead of smplayer cause ther's no need in that bloated coat | 12:59 |
holyguyver_ | I agree, it is a bit bloated, well which every one works for you :) | 13:01 |
holyguyver_ | Ben is complaining about bloat...hmm he must be on a 93 computer :p | 13:03 |

TheSheep | bdude99999_: ubuntu has paid support, you can check the canonical.com website for details | 15:52 |
TheSheep | bdude99999_: there is also a really nice graphical tool for doing it, so maybe you'd manage to do it yourself | 15:53 |
bdude99999_ | ive tried many times to do it myself, and the cds never work. so i am looking for someone to create it for me | 15:53 |
daftpun1 | Stroganoff are you still here? sorry, add it where? | 15:56 |
daftpun1 | Stroganoff i am useless with linux , i used it for 3 days for the mo. Where can I find sudoers? | 15:57 |
TheSheep | B1gT1me: I'm not entirely sure, but the Asus EEE bios might have some kind of a lock on the memory | 15:58 |
B1gT1me | TheSheep: Apparently the default Xandros OS only recognizes 1GB RAM (the machine ships with 512)--but other Debian distros recognize 2gig | 16:00 |
daftpun1 | Does anybody know how to set password for default keyring so i'ts not asking for it every time I log in? | 16:30 |
daftpun1 | Or can I just change it to blank? | 16:30 |

jburd | How does one completely remove xubuntu? | 17:58 |
jburd | I have ubuntu installed already. | 17:58 |
jburd | Removing xubuntu-desktop will remove only the meta package. | 17:58 |
jburd | Or reconfigure xfce4 | 17:59 |
jburd | I have no window decorator. | 18:00 |
jburd | And while compiz --replace in a session works, editing /etc/xdg/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc to use compiz instead of xfwm4 didn't work. Restoring it back to xfwm4 doesn't restore the decorator back now either. | 18:02 |
lucife1 | hello. Last night I was watching a Veoh movie from A website and the browser got stuck. when I restarted the pc the top and bottom panel was missing. even when I restarted again and again the top and bottom panel didn't appear. so I had to install Xubuntu again. What shall I do if something like this happens again? | 18:04 |
daftpun1 | hi everyone | 18:20 |
daftpun1 | i wanted to remove default keyring so it doesn't ask me for a password everytime I login, and I've done quite a lot of damage to my system | 18:21 |
daftpun1 | I had to delete both files involved in this gdm and gdm-autologin | 18:22 |
daftpun1 | does any1 know how to recover them? | 18:22 |
daftpun1 | can I just reinstall keyring package? | 18:22 |
gnomefreak | try xubuntu-desktop | 18:29 |
daftpun1 | do you mean reinstall it? | 18:31 |
gnomefreak | daftpun1: yes | 18:36 |
gnomefreak | deci: it should bring all depends back in | 18:36 |
gnomefreak | if its installed use apt-get to remove it and aptitude or apt-get to install it | 18:37 |
gnomefreak | daftpun1: sorry that is for you | 18:37 |

h4mx0r | how can I use xfdesktop with fluxbox? | 20:48 |
Stroganoff | yes | 20:49 |
Stroganoff | try my script if you want to combine different lightweight desktop parts: | 20:49 |
Stroganoff | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=741631 | 20:49 |
h4mx0r | when I try to put "exec xfdesktop &" it won't let me reach fluxbox menu, some things are "locked". and I got lot of extra things like mcs manager, xinit, bashes | 20:50 |
h4mx0r | Stroganoff: nice, what are sharp fonts? | 20:52 |
Stroganoff | using the same fonts as in winxp-classic | 20:53 |
Stroganoff | http://www.abload.de/img/openbox-pcmanfm-fbpavc1.png | 20:53 |
h4mx0r | Stroganoff: looking very good, have you ever thought of writing a book? | 20:53 |
Stroganoff | i'm planning to write some pages of illustrated manual, yes | 20:54 |
h4mx0r | they look good but is there some sort of font rendering speed or advantage? | 20:54 |
Stroganoff | if yes then minor | 20:56 |
h4mx0r | are they proprietary or something? | 20:56 |
Stroganoff | grey zone | 20:57 |
Stroganoff | they are released as freeware | 20:57 |
h4mx0r | oh | 20:58 |
h4mx0r | Stroganoff: ah crap how do I go back a menu I forgot to check something | 21:04 |
Stroganoff | press ctrl+c rapidly | 21:05 |
Stroganoff | and begin anew | 21:05 |
Stroganoff | sry :D | 21:05 |
h4mx0r | lol np | 21:06 |
h4mx0r | it lists network manager, does it do anything new with network manager because I'm not happy with default one | 21:07 |
h4mx0r | how come you put swiftfox instead of swiftweasel? | 21:07 |
Stroganoff | no it doesnt | 21:07 |
Stroganoff | was the first one that caught my attention | 21:08 |
Stroganoff | i dont recommend swiftfox though | 21:08 |
Stroganoff | until fx3 is mature | 21:08 |
h4mx0r | oh k | 21:08 |
thinkmassive | I just setup NFS on my server and I my client is failing with "RPC Error: Program not registered" | 21:09 |
thinkmassive | from what I've read, this could be due to not having permission in /etc/hosts.allow but I listed my entire subnet there, and I don't see any related messages in /var/log/messages | 21:10 |
Stroganoff | thinkmassive i'd ask in #linux | 21:11 |
h4mx0r | lmao! "Default applications: Instant messenger Which file manager do you prefer Pidgin Multi-protocol IM aMSN MSN client" | 21:11 |
Stroganoff | oops | 21:12 |
h4mx0r | Stroganoff: microsoft network for file managing, darn windows what will they think of next :/ | 21:13 |
h4mx0r | what does klogd do? | 21:14 |

blust66 | tnx | 21:15 |
h4mx0r | Stroganoff: does this "script" have an uninstall and/or can it be upgraded past 8.04 when time comes? | 21:17 |
Stroganoff | it can be upgraded | 21:17 |
h4mx0r | I just don't want to go all unstable and break something | 21:18 |
stevethefiddle | Is this the place to seek help with Xubuntu problems? | 21:18 |
Stroganoff | yes stevethefiddle | 21:18 |
stevethefiddle | 1st time using IRC, so sorry if I do things wrong here | 21:18 |
Stroganoff | h4mx0r i wouldn't expect it to go unstable | 21:18 |
h4mx0r | stevethefiddle: no prob, what client you using? | 21:19 |
thinkmassive | why does that matter? | 21:20 |
stevethefiddle | Pidgin | 21:20 |
stevethefiddle | I've upgraded to 8.10 and have lost desktop icons for other partitions | 21:20 |
h4mx0r | me too :) | 21:21 |
h4mx0r | it pisses me off how pidgin doesn't support the up arrow history function when on irc | 21:21 |
stevethefiddle | FAT32 and NTFS partitions are mounted and I can read/write | 21:21 |
stevethefiddle | just no desktop icons | 21:21 |
h4mx0r | umm there is no 8.10 | 21:22 |
stevethefiddle | not i "Places" either | 21:22 |
Stroganoff | stevethefiddle that problems seems to be common in hardy | 21:22 |
stevethefiddle | oops 8.04 | 21:22 |
h4mx0r | stevethefiddle: umm common problem open settings and choose desktop then uncheck and recheck allow xfdesktop to control desktop hope it works | 21:22 |
Stroganoff | look up fstab arguments for write support. add the mountpoints to your thunar bookmarks. apart than that, i dont know | 21:22 |
h4mx0r | Stroganoff: your scripts skype download is slow as mud :( | 21:23 |
Stroganoff | h4mx0r thats the medibuntu repo | 21:23 |
Stroganoff | btw that script was supposed to be run on a bare command line installation (using the alternate ubuntu iso) | 21:24 |
h4mx0r | too late now muahaha | 21:24 |
stevethefiddle | Will try that h4mx0r - looks like I need to log out and back in again? | 21:27 |
h4mx0r | well I stopped it, was just downloading stuff. Do I need to finish it? | 21:27 |
h4mx0r | stevethefiddle: why would you do that? | 21:27 |
stevethefiddle | Just checking/unchecking that box does nothing | 21:27 |
stevethefiddle | message says that changes will be when i next log in | 21:28 |
h4mx0r | well that's incorrect message | 21:28 |
h4mx0r | which box you checking? | 21:28 |
h4mx0r | Allow xfce to manage the desktop one? | 21:29 |
stevethefiddle | "Allow Xfce to manage the desktop" | 21:29 |
h4mx0r | strange it never said that to me | 21:30 |
h4mx0r | well goodluck | 21:30 |
h4mx0r | I'm going to go mess with my system | 21:30 |
stevethefiddle | Well i know how to get here now - I'll be back :D | 21:30 |
stevethefiddle | I'm trying to get my desktop icons for hdd partitions - they disappeared after upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 - Disks are mounted ok, but not showing on desktop or in "Places" - I hear this is a common problem, but has anyone solved it? | 21:37 |
thinkmassive | deja vu | 21:38 |
stevethefiddle | deja who? | 21:40 |
thinkmassive | all over again :-P | 21:41 |
stevethefiddle | I'm new to this IRC thing - 64 people in room, but only me and thinkmassive showing up in conversation - is that 'cos everyone else is busy elsewhere or what? | 21:43 |
thinkmassive | yeah people mostly idle in here... mostly | 21:43 |
thinkmassive | try #ubuntu also, a lot more activity there | 21:43 |
thinkmassive | you can join multiple chan's at one | 21:43 |
thinkmassive | at once | 21:43 |
stevethefiddle | oh - so people have their irc client open, are logged in, but not looking? | 21:44 |
thinkmassive | yup | 21:44 |
stevethefiddle | k :) | 21:44 |
stevethefiddle | will try logging into ubuntu | 21:44 |
thinkmassive | /j #ubuntu | 21:45 |
stevethefiddle | cheers - got it | 21:46 |
stevethefiddle | It was suggested that I run gconf-config, but that's for gnome isn't it? | 22:00 |
stevethefiddle | any point installing it for this problem in Xubuntu? | 22:00 |
stevethefiddle | i read that gconf-config is not recommended way to change settings | 22:02 |
stevethefiddle | tried Google - nothing. tried the ubuntu forum - nothing, tried #Xubuntu irc - nothing so far | 22:04 |
stevethefiddle | anywhere else to look for help? | 22:04 |
thinkmassive | you can always post on a forum and be patient | 22:05 |
stevethefiddle | 3 days so far | 22:06 |
stevethefiddle | found similar posts from weeks ago with no replies | 22:06 |
thinkmassive | well 8.04 was just released a week or two ago | 22:07 |
thinkmassive | I guess two, since it was April | 22:07 |
stevethefiddle | yes, 2 weeks - i guess i exagerated a bit :) | 22:08 |
stevethefiddle | still can't find any info about it though | 22:09 |
stevethefiddle | was hoping someone here might have some ideas | 22:09 |
stevethefiddle | let's try another one: | 22:12 |
stevethefiddle | Error message from Browse C:/Drive (Wine) "Failed to open URL "~/.wine/drive_c". | 22:13 |
stevethefiddle | The URL "~/.wine/drive_c" is not supported. " | 22:13 |
thinkmassive | what browser are you using? | 22:13 |
stevethefiddle | browser? | 22:14 |
thinkmassive | where does that error appear? | 22:14 |
stevethefiddle | Got WINE installed - Applications menu > Browse C:/Drive | 22:14 |
stevethefiddle | Thunar should open but get error message instead | 22:15 |
stevethefiddle | seems to be a problem with "xdg-open" | 22:15 |
stevethefiddle | If I run "xdg-open ~/.wine/drive_c" in a terminal window, the directory opens fine | 22:16 |
stevethefiddle | If I type "xdg-open ~/.wine/drive_c" in a command line (Alt+F2) I get the error | 22:17 |
thinkmassive | replace ~ with /home/<username> | 22:18 |
thinkmassive | where <username> is your username | 22:18 |
stevethefiddle | The desktop configuration file "Browse C: Drive" has the line "Exec=xdg-open ~/.wine/drive_c" | 22:19 |
stevethefiddle | K - I'll try that | 22:19 |
stevethefiddle | No - just the same | 22:20 |
thinkmassive | do you have ~/.wine ? | 22:21 |
stevethefiddle | If I tick "Run in terminal" I also get the line "Error showing url: The location or file could not be found." come up in the terminal window | 22:21 |
thinkmassive | sounds like something is missing | 22:21 |
stevethefiddle | the folder ~/.wine is present | 22:22 |
stevethefiddle | it opens if i type xdg-open ~/.wine/drive_c directly into a terminal window | 22:23 |
thinkmassive | oh, xdg-open "opens a file or URL in the user's preferred application" so maybe you haven't defined your preferred app in 8.04 | 22:24 |
thinkmassive | oh I see, but it doesn't work from console (ctrl+alt+F2)? | 22:24 |
stevethefiddle | Alt+F2 - no that's correct | 22:25 |
thinkmassive | oh alt+f2 is "run program" | 22:25 |
stevethefiddle | Just tried "xdg-open /home/user/.wine/drive_c" and that works | 22:26 |
thinkmassive | that's what I told you to try a while ago | 22:26 |
stevethefiddle | (my user name of course0 | 22:26 |
thinkmassive | why can't you just use that? | 22:26 |
stevethefiddle | I guess i must have made a typo the first time | 22:27 |
stevethefiddle | Yes I can use that | 22:27 |
stevethefiddle | I'll try editing the desktop configuration file | 22:28 |
Olgem | Will xubuntu run on my non-i686 compatible CPU? Its a VIA C3 Samual 2, which is missing some opcodes such as CMOV, and is only i586 compatible. I thought that since xubuntu is made to run on older hardware the devs might compile it as flat i386. | 22:29 |
thinkmassive | the iso I got is for i386 | 22:30 |
brax | question for anoyone listening... I do not see a build of Xubuntu 8.04 for PPC... is there any way to run it on a PPC? or do I need to use 6.01? I am running Ubuntu 8.04 on my ppc, but would like to switch to Xubuntu. Any thoughts? | 22:30 |
Olgem | thinkmassive, many distributions like i386 but when they actually are compiled for newer i686 CPUs. | 22:30 |
Olgem | Brax, why don't you just install xfce-desktop or whatever metapackage provides xfce? That would be easier, I dont think they provide PPC ISOs anymore. | 22:31 |
thinkmassive | brax: http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=427714 | 22:31 |
Olgem | s/like/list | 22:31 |
thinkmassive | why would they list an incompatible architecture? | 22:32 |
Olgem | thinkmassive, i686 is backwards compatible with i386, but i386 CPUs are not forwards compatible with i686 software. | 22:32 |
stevethefiddle | back again | 22:32 |
Olgem | When I try and boot a i686 ISO on my computer, it does a hard reboot. | 22:32 |
stevethefiddle | thanks thinkmassive - that worked | 22:33 |
thinkmassive | exactly, why would they mislabel something i386 when, in fact, it is i686? | 22:33 |
Olgem | I think I heard that ubuntu uses a i386 compiled userland but an i686 kernel. Something along those lines. | 22:33 |
Olgem | I don't really know, this is why I'm asking. :X | 22:34 |
thinkmassive | Olgem: I would just try it | 22:34 |
thinkmassive | I see no reason to label something wrong | 22:34 |
thinkmassive | I finally got NFS working, stupid firewall issue | 22:35 |
Olgem | Well, I've tried it with xubuntu 7.04, and it does a hard reboot for that reason, as with ubuntu and kubuntu. I was hoping possibly maybe a new release might have brought about some changes as xubuntu seems to be targetted at older hardware. | 22:35 |
thinkmassive | did you try a release labeled i386 or i686? | 22:36 |
Olgem | Its been a while, but do they really have seperate ISOs for i386 *and* i686? | 22:36 |
thinkmassive | I haven't seen any for i386 | 22:36 |
thinkmassive | er | 22:36 |
thinkmassive | i686, sorry | 22:36 |
Olgem | Hmmm. | 22:37 |
brax | I will check that stuff out guys.... Thank you! | 22:37 |
thinkmassive | Olgem: you might need to use the alternate install cd if you have less than 128mb of ram | 22:38 |
Olgem | I have 512mb of ram, I use the alternative install anyway to set up encrypted LVM | 22:38 |
Olgem | here is an interesting thread about it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=367665 | 22:38 |
Olgem | ooops | 22:39 |
Olgem | Well, I guess thats not the right one. | 22:39 |
thinkmassive | have you tried booting xubuntu? | 22:39 |
Olgem | On an old release, and it had failed to boot. | 22:40 |
thinkmassive | I dunno, try the new one and see if there's an issue | 22:40 |
thinkmassive | if there is, then start troubleshooting | 22:40 |
thinkmassive | no point in trying to solve a problem that doesn't yet exist | 22:40 |
thinkmassive | sorry I'm not more help now, but until you try there's nowhere to go | 22:41 |
thinkmassive | and I'm getting out of the office, later on! | 22:41 |
Olgem | The only way I can trouble shoot would be to master my own ISO and recompile the entire base distro as <i585 :( | 22:41 |
brax | anyone off hand remember the fix to that funky graphics issue with Xubuntu 8.04... the display is all jittery? | 22:55 |
C|-|R15 | any know why windows (minimised) do not show on the workspaces? kind of fustrating and makes forget windows open but minimised.....ideas any one? | 22:56 |
C|-|R15 | is it just a workspace panel resolution issue? | 22:58 |
C|-|R15 | guess no one about today | 23:02 |
brax | Is Xubuntu meerly just a absolute copy of the Ubuntu build with a slipstreamed Xfce windowmanager, or has some of the kernel been tweaked etc? | 23:06 |
Odd-rationale | brax: the former... | 23:08 |
Odd-rationale | i believe the kernels are identical | 23:08 |
brax | OKay | 23:08 |
brax | just figured it would be a bit faster on a PPC laptop | 23:11 |
C|-|R15 | its a little faster than normal ubuntu on an old laptop....im using xubuntu on 533mhz laptop | 23:15 |
C|-|R15 | brax....ubuntu seems better if you then use lxde | 23:16 |
C|-|R15 | sorry xubuntu installed then with lxde | 23:17 |
brax | what is lxde? | 23:19 |
Odd-rationale | brax: Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment | 23:20 |
Odd-rationale | I like it! | 23:20 |
C|-|R15 | lightweight X11 Destop environment | 23:20 |
Odd-rationale | http://lxde.sf.net | 23:21 |
C|-|R15 | kind of like gnome on crack.... | 23:21 |
C|-|R15 | makes things smoother and faster on my old 533mhz machine im using now | 23:21 |
C|-|R15 | probably gnome on speed....not crack.....LOL | 23:22 |
brax | is there anything that needs to be configed to fire that up? Or is it launched by default? | 23:22 |
C|-|R15 | you just need to add to the sources.list then apt-get | 23:22 |
C|-|R15 | install then when you go to log in choose that from option | 23:23 |
C|-|R15 | I have then written on paper here....I can type them in if you want | 23:24 |
C|-|R15 | but i'm using gutsy.....8.04 would not seem to install | 23:25 |
C|-|R15 | (L)ubuntu would be very nice! if and when it gets round to that | 23:25 |
Genesis | yo guys, how can i lock my screen through terminal? | 23:27 |
C|-|R15 | combined I used PCManFM another lightweight file manager which again can install from apt-get once you add address to sources.list | 23:28 |
C|-|R15 | but at the moment i'm using xubuntu as normal..so depends on your laptop as if you can get away without lxde | 23:29 |
C|-|R15 | it did it this way as could not really get into DamnSmallLinux | 23:29 |
C|-|R15 | after using ubuntu for years | 23:30 |
C|-|R15 | my current specs that I'm using at this very moment are: laptop 533mhz - 192MB ram - 6gig HD, and guessing 16MB or maybe 32MB graphics (if lucky) and xubuntu running fine...slow....but fine for resurrecting old laptop from M$ 95 devil | 23:33 |
Genesis | can any1 help me? | 23:33 |
C|-|R15 | so that help you Brax? | 23:33 |
C|-|R15 | whats problem genesis | 23:37 |
Genesis | how can i lock my screen through terminal | 23:37 |
Genesis | cause im running fluxbox, and im in a xfdesktop | 23:37 |
Genesis | so i dont have the poweroff button to lock it, and Control Alt L doesnt work | 23:37 |
brax | C|-|R15, yes.. than k you so much! | 23:38 |
brax | I will check it out | 23:38 |
Odd-rationale | Genesis: you need either gnome-screensaver, or xscreensaver. | 23:38 |
Genesis | i downloaded x screensaver | 23:39 |
Genesis | but how do i lock it using that? | 23:39 |
Odd-rationale | Genesis: for xscreensaver, it is "xscreensaver-command -l" | 23:39 |
Genesis | acorn@DeNub:~$ xscreensaver-command -l | 23:39 |
Genesis | xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0.0 | 23:39 |
Genesis | acorn@DeNub:~$ | 23:39 |
Genesis | ? | 23:39 |
C|-|R15 | cannot go wrong with (x)ubuntu brax...best distro | 23:39 |
Odd-rationale | Genesis: start screensaver first | 23:40 |
Genesis | o | 23:40 |
Odd-rationale | xscreensaver & | 23:40 |
Genesis | o ok | 23:40 |
brax | well... I am more used to running the Core's or Gentoo... this is the first time I am playing with a *buntu | 23:40 |
Odd-rationale | Genesis: you can start screensaver in your ~/.fluxbox start up file. | 23:41 |
Genesis | ok | 23:41 |
Odd-rationale | i think the line was "xscreensaver --no-splash & | 23:41 |
Odd-rationale | don't quite remember... | 23:41 |
Odd-rationale | been a while since i used fluxbox... | 23:42 |
brax | I wanted to run Fluxbuntu... but I there was nothing pre-built for the ppc... so I decided to try xubuntu | 23:42 |
