[00:00] CITguy08: ouch, that doesn't sound good... xfce doesn't start even after a hard reboot [00:00] ? [00:00] These settings cannot work with your current window manager (unknown) [00:00] I know it has something to do with the desktop manager. That's all I know. [00:00] i found it [00:00] the theme is changed [00:01] omg it looks awsome O_o [00:01] suRs: wasnt that hard, was it [00:01] no really easy [00:01] now i know how its done! [00:02] CITguy08: any error messages? [00:02] It gets to the point where it says it's Loading the Desktop Manager, then segfaults and dumps me back at the login. [00:03] there seems to be an error with "restricted-manager" not being able to load as well [00:03] CITguy08: hmm. idk, but i i were you, i would go to ctrl+alt+f2, login there, and delete any session looking file in ~/.config... [00:05] how do i fix my text so its a bit bigger? [00:05] on the xchatt [00:06] suRs: never used xchat... so dunno... [00:07] I've also noticed that in ~/.config/autostart/ there is a file named Restricted Drivers Manager that doesn't seem to work. I moved that file to ~/ and tried again, but now there's a bunch of "No Name" files in the ~/.config/autostart [00:08] CITguy08: try moving the whole .config directory... [00:08] ok, I'll be back. [00:13] hello all [00:15] success!! So something in the ~/.config was messing it up [00:19] thank you for your help [00:19] :) [00:20] well [00:20] i have to sleep now so [00:20] i see you tomorrow odd [00:20] thanks for all help i got today :D [00:21] suRs: bye! [00:36] Hi guys. I want to keep some of my data (music) somewhere else than my home directory. Where would you put it? And I mean keeping it on the system partition not on some other. [00:37] stequbu: any specific reasons to do so [00:37] share files? [00:37] yup [00:37] share [00:37] I would create a new folder caller /home/share [00:37] or maybe /home/Share [00:37] right but this would mean creating a new user [00:37] ? [00:37] then put the music in /home/Share/Music [00:38] no, you don't need a new user [00:38] but you do need to be root (sudo) to create the /home/Share/ directory [00:38] when I operate in nautilus I dont have the ability to create in home folder [00:39] so something like "sudo mkdir /home/Share" [00:39] this means id have to do it via command line, ok [00:39] stequbu, you will need to create a new group (if you want to restrict it to certain users) and/or set the permissions. [00:39] then i would "sudo chmod -R 777 /home/Share" so all could read and write to it... [00:40] actually, to be honest, i really would create a new "share" group"... [00:40] but 777 is the easiest way... [00:41] thx odd-r. just one more thing. you propose creating the share group... [00:41] i presume it would involve all users having access to it? [00:41] stequbu: it is more difficult that way. do you want to limit who can have access to the /home/Share folder? [00:41] yes but only by means of Samba [00:42] so would 777 permission do for you? [00:42] At first it sounded great though my knowledge is too poor to make good assesments :) [00:45] stequbu: well it is really up to you... [00:45] Odd-r, does it make sense to you such a plan: 1) Keeping some data/ folders in /home/share and the managing the access to files by means of /etc/samba/smb.conf [00:46] stequbu: so you only need to limit remote access to these files? [00:47] stequbu: btw, if you do odd-r it will auto-comlete my nick fo you... [00:48] yes remotely. though locally would be also important just for security [00:49] ok. well we can add a new group called "share" like this: sudo groupadd share [00:49] then you can add yourself to that group: sudo gpasswd -a share [00:50] then we will have to give /home/share to the group share: sudo chown -R :share /home/share [00:51] then set the permissions: sudo chmod -R 775 /home/share [00:51] you can change 775 to fit your need. [00:52] you might want 770 or something else... [00:52] you can then add other users to the group share... [00:52] etc... [00:52] this is perfect. thx so much [00:53] one question though as to this line: "sudo chown -R :share /home/share" [00:54] yes? [00:54] why do we need ? wouldn't it be sufficient to assign the share folder just to group name? [00:55] of which we are members? [00:55] stequbu: i think everything needs a member and a group... [00:55] you could have it owned my root:share [00:55] if you have root in the share group as well... [00:56] i see, thank you [00:57] Odd-rationale : what is your favourite way of managing the smb.conf file [00:58] I was maybe thinking of some GUI but I didn't find anything like this. [00:58] stequbu: samba isn't exactly my territory... [00:59] I see. [00:59] although, i would probably just edit the text file... [00:59] i'm not a fan of too much gui... [01:00] (which is why i use arch) [01:00] yeah me too but I wanted to set it up for someone else [01:00] though a conf fileeven in gedit will do. [01:00] The last thing I was thinking about was setting up VNC so that it would be accessible also on login screen. Do you have any experiences with that? [01:00] no, sorry... [01:03] Ok, thx. Just to make sure - I presume our configuration will not conflict with any shares/permissions I might do in Samba ? [01:04] stequbu: i presume not. if smabe is running as root, you might want to be sure that root has access to the share folder as well. [01:04] I thought root has access to all folders by default? [01:05] yes it does... [01:06] so much to do, so little time :) [01:10] Odd-rationale : does 770 mean that only people with an account on the local machine will be able to Read the folder? [01:11] or that only the owner, root and group Share would be able to rwx and the rest nothing [01:11] the first 7 is for the user, the second 7 is for the group (share) and the third digit 0 is for others. [01:12] so if someone else in in the share group, s/he will have rwx permissions [01:12] but if s/he is not, then 0 [01:13] or you can make it 5 for others if you want to be able to readl [01:14] Thx I'm ready to go :) I'm setting up my first server and some people should be able to use it after your help :) [01:14] stequbu: doing sysadmin stuff? fun! [01:16] yeah but I had some weird stuff occuring - the windows disk would screw with the booting sequence [01:16] stequbu: my motto as a Linux system admin is: "Never use your freedom to suppress the freedom of others." [01:17] sure that's my motto in life :) [01:17] it is easy, once you have the knowledge and power, to try to hide the that knowledge from others, so that they are in a way handicapped becuase they don't know certain things... [01:17] some sysadmin are afraid of letting people know "how things works" [01:17] "just use it a be happy..." [01:18] OT: have you ever had weird stuff happening with Routine check of drives at startup? [01:18] nope... like what? [01:18] my updated fresh install of Hardy Heron started screwing with me [01:19] At boot it fails to do the Routine drive check at 4% [01:19] and unless i hit ESC before it gets there it halts and then it needs a reboot [01:20] If I hit ESC the system boots noramlly [01:20] stequbu: maybe something wrong with your /etc/fstab ? [01:20] idk [01:20] maybe I should run a chckdsk or sth? [01:20] you could try... [01:20] what is /etc/fstab [01:21] man fstab [01:21] but chckdsk wont work with Ext2 wil it? [01:22] but how come can sth be wrong with fstab if the system launches normally afterwards? [01:23] well, i got to go eat dinner... [01:23] ttyl! [01:24] ttyl :) [02:14] I was thinking about was setting up VNC so that it would be accessible also on login screen. Do you have any experiences with that? [02:29] how do i dualboot with xubuntu for a mac with a powerpc? [02:29] it doesn't fit in any of the distros under get xubuntu === ronn_o is now known as ron_o [04:05] how can I find why my computer is shutting down all the time? [04:05] dmesg? [04:14] maybe [04:15] it kinda depends on why it is shutting down... if your hardware is failing then there isn't going to be anything in your logs [04:17] maybe it [04:17] it's gnome power manager.. I don't know. I'll see. [07:09] moin [07:38] morning [07:39] anyone know if there is any torrent download for ubuntu?

[13:20] (so in the settings submenu) [13:21] * ablomen doesnt like to open the settings manager to edit stuff [13:24] ablomen, you would have to edit the desktop files [13:25] cody-somerville, they are already made? just have to enable them? [13:25] ablomen, I believe so [13:25] thanks ill go look in to that [13:25] Actually, I know they were deleted at one point but readded but just disabled [13:26] So you might be unlucky :P [13:26] lol ah well i can always see if they are in there somewhere *crosses fingers* ;) [13:26] /usr/share/applications/ [13:27] yeah already there, thanks though :) [13:27] np [13:27] :) [13:29] meh cant seem to find them [13:29] ah well i can learn to live with the settings manager i guess [13:30] sorry :( [13:31] heh well user friendlieness > some things only a group of people want, can always add them myself :) [13:32] oh your the project lead cody-somerville ? [13:32] ablomen, guilty :] [13:32] oh nice that your actually on the irc channel :) [13:32] dont see that often [13:34] * ablomen knows who to spam for new features now :P [13:34] :D [13:34] ablomen, Have you considered getting involved? :) [13:35] well yeah id love to help with the programming, but the problem mainly for me is that i only really use php/javascript/perl etc [13:36] play with other stuff from time to time but python seems to hate me (im not even kidding) and c* is a bit over my head atm [13:36] No need to know how to program [13:36] Most of the work is packaging, bug triage, and other fun junk :) [13:36] haha [13:37] do you guys have like a wiki page with "job openings"? or looking for someone to do something in particular? [13:38] ablomen, http://xubuntu.org/devel [13:40] hmm im gonna look at the packaging deal this weekend, always wanted to learn how to do that :) [13:43] ablomen, feel free to hang out with us in #xubuntu-devel too [13:43] You can also read my blog at http://cody.zapto.org [13:44] :) ill do that === ablomen_ is now known as ablomen [14:00] hi [14:01] Hi [14:01] does anyone know how to remove the boot image . i got a xandros machine with the xandros init [14:01] image [14:01] i think it is messing up my installs [14:02] it came with xandros [14:02] on it [14:02] i want to put xubuntu or ubuntu on it [14:03] Just install Xubuntu :) [14:03] i have burned 3 cds all fail [14:03] xubuntu is the only 1 that did work [14:03] but i tried to reinstall it [14:04] and im getting bootstrap errors [14:06] Weird :I/ [14:19] Anyone has a clue where to find a fairly complete set of mime-type icons? [14:19] nd___, as in extra icon themes? [14:20] Actually I don't want to use it in any wm but in the web... so it has to be under an open license. [14:21] Therefor it doesn't really matter how it's packaged... [14:21] /usr/share/icons [14:21] there are all the default icon themes installed [14:21] ablomen: As I don't have a xubuntu running atm, is there a possibility I can get the mime-type icons from you? [14:21] lol im not going to upload all of them [14:21] ok [14:22] just use the ubuntu package search [14:22] i think you can donwload the deb's from there [14:23] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=tango&searchon=names&suite=hardy§ion=all << for example here [14:23] Thanks I will try that [14:24] np, good luck [14:24] oh and put the creator of the icons in the credits of your site ;) [14:24] I will [14:25] Well, e.g. with the tango-icon-theme there are only like 30 mimetypes... [14:26] well there is more then one package, look in the other ones :) [14:27] should be 144 of them, though most are symlinks [14:28] ablomen: Tried all links on the site above I only found these 30 types. [14:28] 144 sounds more like it [14:28] I might get and run the xbuntu live-cd and get them from there... [14:29] http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Library << you can look here too [14:30] Did. Doesn't contain good mime-types [15:18] debootstrab warning [15:19] any you guys ever see that? [15:19] should i continue? [15:19] or is it screwed? [15:19] during install? [15:20] man this is frusterating [15:21] my hardware don't like xubuntu [15:21] ubuntu [15:21] im getting all kinds of errors [15:21] ablomen: How are the mimetype-icons sorted in /usr/local/icons? like application-x-dvi.png? [15:21] it does this with fedora 2 [15:22] install base system failed [15:23] im trying to install it over xandros [15:23] it came native on the box [15:24] ablomen: Otherwise I wonder how they map it to actual types... weird non-scheme naming it seems to me [15:29] could it be mbr? [15:34] black_ops: did you specify to erase and use the entire disk? [15:35] ill try that now [15:35] again [15:36] i haven't today but have in the past [15:36] i got a floppy in it [15:38] i installed it twice [15:39] it worked as a command line system install [15:39] but when i tried it again [15:39] no cigar [15:40] and hasn't worked again [15:40] i haved tried going on 10 times id say [15:40] have* [15:41] i have burned ubuntu and alternative iso [15:42] neither work [15:42] x is the only thing i have got working [15:43] lol [15:43] now its hung won't even try to install [15:44] i like x [15:44] maybe my disk is bunk [15:44] but i have already wasted 3 [15:45] hrrrm [15:45] something interesting [15:46] !md5 [15:46] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [15:50] Heya!

[18:00] perhaps i can fix a xorg driver or something like that when the os is installed [18:01] in debian i normally use i810 as driver im telling this so perhaps anyone here knows its a issue or something like that [18:01] !alternate | tingle [18:01] tingle: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD.
