ApsalarHi, I'm in the middle of installing Xubuntu (Heron) from a LiveCD, and I have some questions:01:04
ApsalarMy hard disk was corrupted, by physical damage (air travel) I believe, so I'd like multiple partitions, in case the disk is partially unusable01:06
ApsalarI have 6.4 GB to divide; Q1: what is the minimum size for the primary partition?01:07
ApsalarQ2: the primary partition should go at the beginning, right?01:08
ApsalarI'm logging off, but if someone could answer, I'll be checking the logs.01:29
ApsalarThanks!01:30

stothepizzleif i'm creating a swap partition on an xubuntu install should it be primary or logical11:56
godlygeekstothepizzle: either one is fine.12:15
voodooi need some help with ssh keys: i get this error; http://paste.ubuntu.com/13287/13:04
godlygeekvoodoo: change the 'ssh-agent' line to 'eval `ssh-agent`' and it will work.13:11
godlygeekthe ssh-agent command starts an agent, and prints out the variables you need to access that agent out in shell-script form...13:12
godlygeekyou can either set them by hand, then, or use 'eval' on the output to set them for you.13:12
voodoooh... till know i was using only ssh-agent (without eval)13:13
AgnosticDoes the download of xubuntu have a live cd ... try before you decide to install option?13:29
homebrewcidercan someone help me get thunar to start maximised every time please.13:39
gabkdllyhomebrewcider: hi13:40
gabkdllyyou could just stretch it big and then it should start to those dimensions every time you start it13:40
homebrewciderhi13:40
homebrewciderbut it doesn't13:42
homebrewciderit starts smaller every time13:42
homebrewcidersmall every time13:42
gnnarinhi how can i install the new qt version?13:43
gabkdllyhomebrewcider: don't maximize with the button inthe upper right-hand corner, rather stretch the window by clicking on the edge and dragging14:08
homebrewciderah, that worked14:09
homebrewcidercheers14:09
gabkdlly:)14:09
homebrewcideri was double-clicking the title bar as i always do14:09
gabkdllyah14:09
homebrewciderthe maximise icon did the same as double clicking, that is, the setting wasn't "sticking"14:11
homebrewciderbut the stretch thing "sticks"14:11
homebrewciderthanx14:11
homebrewciderok, I'm outta here, have a good one14:11

violinapprenhi all, i'm running hardy, i  did an apt-get install xfce and in Settings Manager i selected the Human theme yet Thunar shows most files with blank icons, any idea?21:55
TheSheepthere was something like that in the thunar faq...21:56
violinappreni read the one at http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/documentation/faq but echo $XSETTINGS returns empty21:57
violinappreneven though xfce-mcs-manager is running21:57
TheSheepis xfce4-session running too?21:58
kpelhi all21:58
violinapprenTheSheep: yeap21:59
TheSheepviolinappren: the icons look like those on that screenshot in faq?21:59
kpelis there a way to have an unmount option in the desktop icons in Hardy for storage devices? For some reason this release has only an eject option.22:00
violinapprenTheSheep: yes except for a djvu file and an audacity project file22:00
violinapprenpdfs, mp3s, archives all blank22:00
wickershey, I22:01
wickersI'm using cheese with my build in webcam22:01
TheSheepviolinappren: do you have the gnome-icon-theme installed?22:01
wickersit usually works fine, but as of today when cheese tries to access the cam (cam's light goes on, so I know it has hardware access), cheese then hard locks the system (not just X11, but system wide lock)22:02
wickersany idea?22:02
violinapprenif i switch to the rodent theme, the icons show up22:02
wickersrunning xubuntu on an eeepc22:02
violinapprenlet me check22:02
TheSheepviolinappren: I think the human theme only has a few icons and falls back to gnome for the rest22:03
violinapprenTheSheep: well i'm installing it22:03
TheSheepwickers: no idea, but you could ask on #ubuntu or look at the forums, as this is a more general issue, common to all ubuntus22:03
TheSheepwickers: at least so it seems22:04
wickersfair22:04
wickersfigured I'd start here, in case this was a recent update or something that affects people using xfce22:04
TheSheepI think there was a channel for eee users spicifically too, someone might know something there22:04
violinappren_works now, thanks guys22:16
VaxzSalut22:40
hazard1ncsup all :)23:24
