| billenium | For some reason my quote key looks like this ¨ instead of a normal one... Whats wrong? | 03:06 |
|---|---|---|
| maco | billenium: you're using international keyboard with dead keys or with altgr keys then | 03:07 |
| maco | hit altgr (right alt) along with the quote to get the normal ones | 03:08 |
| maco | billenium: still here? | 03:11 |
| billenium | oh sorry... | 03:14 |
| billenium | How can i change it? | 03:15 |
| billenium | I think i changed it once... but it changed back after reboot | 03:15 |
| maco | billenium: umm...i dont use xubuntu | 03:18 |
| maco | wherever the keyboard settings thing is | 03:18 |
| billenium | yeah | 03:22 |
| billenium | but i have no clue what to change it to | 03:22 |
| crimsun | non-int'l | 03:23 |
| maco | normal US if that's what you use | 03:24 |
| billenium | Ah good i got it | 03:28 |
| billenium | Sometimes on restart it changes... | 03:28 |
| billenium | How do i stop that? | 03:29 |
| maco | um, it shouldn't. perhaps from the login screen it might be different, but your settings *should* be saved | 03:29 |
| maco | if it's not, that'd be a bug | 03:29 |
| crimsun | granted, there have been issues with ~/.config and ~/.cache | 03:29 |
| billenium | okay | 03:30 |
| Gabe_G23 | Could anyone seed the torrent version of xubuntu-8.0.4-desktop-i386.iso? (Not the alternative one) | 04:18 |
| Gabe_G23 | Thanks (whoever listened to me) :) | 04:21 |
| Gabe_G23 | Anyone else? :( I just dropped back down to 1 peer, wait now 2, but only connected to one. ;( | 04:25 |
| Gabe_G23 | And it's only like 1 KB / s :o | 04:25 |
| genelyk | where reporting bugs of 8.10 alpha 1??? | 04:34 |
| maco | genelyk: launchpad, where all bugs go... | 04:36 |
| genelyk | okzz | 04:36 |
| Redian | Could someone assist me with VMware player? | 05:18 |
| cody-somerville | Redian, just ask your question | 05:39 |
| cody-somerville | and then wait :) | 05:39 |
| Redian | lol I did :) | 05:40 |
| Redian | oh | 05:40 |
| Redian | I guess that's not really a question | 05:40 |
| Redian | I just figured if I didn't get a response, it probably wasn't worth it | 05:40 |
| Redian | Could someone help me in getting the config right for VmWare Player on an Eee_pc running xubuntu? | 05:41 |
| Rhorse | Redian, have you tried the #Eeepc channel? | 05:53 |
| Redian | o.0 Didn't know there was one. | 05:53 |
| Rhorse | Redian, having no familiirity with either eeepc or vmware player I couldn't help you. 8 ) | 05:54 |
| Redian | Rhorse: thanks, I just asked over there. I don't think it'll be much help. I'm doing this for my brother. I got him a zune for his birthday, and he threw a fit because its not free as in freedom....so I'm trying to get it working, or at least figure out how. I've used vmware player before for my zune, so I was trying to get it working on his Eee pc. Problem is it just died, so I can't get on it to try anything XD | 05:56 |
| Rhorse | Redian, yea, you may want to ask on usenet. alt.os.linux.ubuntu is often very helpful. No GoogleGroups you need a newsreader. | 06:03 |
| Redian | Rhorse: link? | 06:04 |
| Rhorse | oh geez, I doubt your browsers is set up for news://alt.os.linux.ubuntu. You need a reader. | 06:05 |
| Redian | Rhorse: Argh, whatever, I'ma push this to the back of my mind for now and get back to coding, thanks for letting me know about the Eee pc channel :) | 06:08 |
| Rhorse | take care | 06:08 |
| houbysoft | hi | 08:53 |
| zoredache | hello | 08:54 |
| nikolam | When I insert CD or USB drive, I get 2 Thunar winows open. Why is that? | 09:00 |
| TheSheep | nikolam: because you have two thunars running for some reason | 09:06 |
| TheSheep | nikolam: kill one and save session | 09:06 |
| nikolam | how to save session | 09:06 |
| TheSheep | check the 'save session' checkbox when logging out | 09:07 |
| nikolam | a-ha | 09:07 |
| nikolam | So kill it with kill command? | 09:07 |
| TheSheep | or with system monitor | 09:07 |
| nikolam | ok, when i do it, what then | 09:07 |
| TheSheep | you save session without thunar running, or with just one, then when you log in you have always only one thunar running (possibly displaying many windows) | 09:08 |
| nikolam | ok will do that and i will come back | 09:09 |
| nikolam | 10x cu | 09:09 |
| bobbyc | sup guys i got a problem at startup... the screen stays blank and i cant do anything at all. im now writing over an older kernel version. any suggestions how to fix it? | 12:05 |
| bobbyc | thanks | 12:12 |
| ecmicro | I would reinstall, but that's just me | 12:17 |
| houbysoft | maybe your root filesystem can't be mounted or something, I would check the /etc/fstab file, and rewrite it a little if necessary | 12:19 |
| ecmicro | what's the best way to "clean up" an installation after switching from ubuntu to xubuntu? | 13:22 |
| arf` | ecmicro: what do you mean by "clean up" ? | 13:54 |
| ecmicro | arf`, well I followed a tutorial that walked me through switiching my ubuntu installation to xubuntu but it didn't really detail how to clean up the original ubuntu installation, ie, remove ubuntu-desktop | 13:58 |
| arf` | ecmicro: it may depends on the way you used to install xubuntu | 13:59 |
| arf` | ecmicro: anyway, "sudo aptitude purge ubuntu-desktop" may do a part of the job | 13:59 |
| ecmicro | ah | 13:59 |
| ecmicro | ok I'll try it | 14:00 |
| arf` | ecmicro: be careful | 14:00 |
| ecmicro | will be | 14:01 |
| arf` | ecmicro: if you used aptitude to install xubuntu, this "purge" operation could work, cause aptitude will remember the packages needed by xubuntu, and just remove the unused dependancy of ubuntu-desktop | 14:02 |
| arf` | uh | 14:02 |
| theblue | hi all. | 14:11 |
| houbysoft | hi | 14:16 |
| xTheSaintx | sudo apt-get tor, but i dont see it installed anywere... | 14:22 |

| arf` | what a patience... | 14:30 |
| Gabe_G23 | Can someone please seed xubuntu-8.0.4-desktop-i386.iso torrent file? :( [not the alternative one] | 15:07 |

| shane | thanks Odd-rationale havint seen yah in a while how yah been | 16:42 |
| Odd-rationale | not too bad... | 16:43 |
| Odd-rationale | make sure you download the .deb binary. | 16:43 |
| Odd-rationale | i think only the trial version is free... | 16:43 |
| Odd-rationale | btw, you might want to try native linux software like k3b or brasero... might be better... | 16:44 |
| shane | i have brasero but if im not corect nero will also convert,brasero is sincing the vid with aud to well | 16:49 |
| Odd-rationale | what do you need to convert? | 16:50 |
| shane | just avi | 16:50 |
| Odd-rationale | avi to dvd? | 16:51 |
| shane | i try and burn them as they come down but it wont fit on a 4.7gig dvd | 16:51 |
| shane | yah i have devede but im thinkin that might be were the sink probs are | 16:51 |
| Odd-rationale | well, you can try nerolinux as see if that helps.. | 16:52 |
| shane | yah im just installing now, i hope its what im after but if not ill look around for a new converter | 16:53 |
| shane | nope nero doesnt convert either | 16:58 |
| shane | is devede the only converter for avi to dvd | 17:07 |
| TheSheep | shane: no, you can use mencoder afaik, google for examples | 17:08 |
| shane | k ty TheSheep | 17:08 |
| pubo | Hi, anybody with xubuntu spanish? | 17:39 |
| Odd-rationale | !es | pubo | 17:58 |
| ubottu | pubo: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 17:58 |
| === adam is now known as maxamillion | ||
| pubo | Odd-rationale, I know, but in #ubuntu-es nobody uses XFCE :( | 18:01 |
| Odd-rationale | oh... i see... | 18:02 |
| MacGyverNL | If I want to resize (increase) the /home partition using gparted, I need to copy /home first to another location, comment out the /home rule from fstab, reboot, move /hometmp to /home, start X, resize the partition, deleten /home/*, uncomment the line in fstab and mount /home, correct? | 18:06 |
| floating | =D that sounds complicated | 18:07 |
| MacGyverNL | It is, but the laptop I want to do it on can't boot from CD anymore. | 18:08 |
| MacGyverNL | Any other sensible way? | 18:08 |
| floating | well, im no good to answer to that but maybe someone come comment. have you checked google | 18:09 |
| MacGyverNL | Every answer to the question "resize active disk" involves a live CD at some point. | 18:09 |
| floating | what happens if you just resize the partition from other OS | 18:10 |
| floating | or just resize in xubuntu.. guess that /home is in use somehow so cant do it but from windows | 18:11 |
| floating | but i dont take into account many things.. never resized in nix | 18:11 |
| MacGyverNL | It's a single boot system. | 18:12 |
| TheSheep | MacGyverNL: you don't have to copy the home | 18:12 |
| MacGyverNL | Only thing I could do is take out the hard disk, hook it up to another system, boot gparted liveCD from that system. | 18:12 |
| MacGyverNL | TheSheep: Won't that give me X start errors and login failures? | 18:13 |
| TheSheep | MacGyverNL: just unmount and create an empty home directory owned by you | 18:13 |
| TheSheep | MacGyverNL: but you don't even have to do that, as you don't have to reboot | 18:14 |
| MacGyverNL | TheSheep: umount command says the drive is busy. Can I just forcibly umount without problems? | 18:14 |
| TheSheep | MacGyverNL: you can boot in recovery mode and just resize the partition | 18:14 |
| MacGyverNL | Ah. | 18:15 |
| TheSheep | MacGyverNL: or create another user that has home directory outside of /home | 18:15 |
| MacGyverNL | Using...? | 18:15 |
| TheSheep | useradd -m -d /nothome | 18:16 |
| TheSheep | useradd -m -d /nothome someuser | 18:16 |
| TheSheep | then change the user's password, give him permission to use sudo, log out, log in as that user, umount home, resize it, mount it | 18:16 |
| TheSheep | logout and log in as your normal user | 18:17 |
| MacGyverNL | I'll check that. | 18:17 |
| MacGyverNL | Thanks :) | 18:17 |
| MacGyverNL | Is the gparted error Failed to mount "1G Volume". | 18:52 |
| MacGyverNL | org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed auth_admin_keep_always <-- (action, result). a bug or a configuration problem on my end? | 18:52 |
| MacGyverNL | Excuse the unexpected \n | 18:52 |
| TheSheep | MacGyverNL: can you try mounting it from terminal with mount? | 18:58 |
| MacGyverNL | TheSheep: I have no idea which volume it's talking about, to be honest. | 19:13 |
| zoredache | it almost looks like a usb device | 19:15 |
| MacGyverNL | The only USB device I've got hooked up is my mouse. | 19:15 |
| MacGyverNL | Hmm. | 19:45 |
| MacGyverNL | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/220953 <-- That's the bug I'm experiencing. | 19:45 |

| nikolam | hi. | 21:03 |
| nikolam | How do you people search for files on your system? | 21:03 |
| nikolam | What tool do you use to search , for instance files changed after some date or by size or by name | 21:03 |
| _rogerio_ | hi | 21:10 |
| StevenX | I just installed compiz-fusion, and it is working fine except for one thing. My application switcher, etc. is not working. | 21:10 |
| StevenX | for example, alt+tab does nothing, and I've already reverted to the default layout. | 21:10 |
| Stroganoff | nikolam: in xubuntu i use catfish | 21:37 |
| nikolam | Stroganoff, And What tool have GUI for that | 21:38 |
| Stroganoff | it is a gui | 21:38 |
| Stroganoff | for the common tools | 21:38 |
| nikolam | i use catfish gui but there is no filtering by date, size, etc | 21:39 |
| zoredache | nikolam: find usually is prety good if you don't need to search the entire filesystem | 21:39 |
| nikolam | I am horrified with those search engines like Beagle, they used to halt my machine with "indexing" | 21:40 |
| nikolam | zoredache, What gui you are using, catfish? | 21:40 |
| zoredache | no gui... I just search froma terminal | 21:41 |
| nikolam | a want a gui. | 21:43 |
| MacGyverNL | How can I browse a windows workgroup network from xubuntu? | 21:44 |
| MacGyverNL | "Open the Computer Menu, then click on "Network". You'll see a "Windows network" icon, open it." <-- I don't. | 21:44 |
| zoredache | MacGyverNL: there are several tools, but one of the more popular tools is Fusesmb | 21:44 |
| zoredache | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb | 21:45 |
| MacGyverNL | Is fusesmb what's used for the "Windows Network" browsing in Ubuntu/gnome? | 21:46 |
| zoredache | no... The Nautilus filemanager has SMB support built in... Thunar doesn't do this | 21:46 |
| MacGyverNL | Ah, okay. | 21:47 |
| nikolam | there is some plugin for thunar for that | 21:51 |
| rockyrock | hey guys | 21:53 |
| rockyrock | I'm new to xubuntu | 21:54 |
| rockyrock | I just want to ask how can i add the Terminal to the Panel? | 21:54 |
| zoredache | right click on the panel and choose add new item... You'll get a list, choose 'launcher'. | 21:55 |
| nikolam | You can add qicklauncher with right-click on panel | 21:55 |
| zoredache | in the lanucher details set the run command to be 'xfce4-terminal' | 21:55 |
| nikolam | and then add xfce4-terminal comand to quicklauncher | 21:55 |
| nikolam | :) | 21:56 |
| rockyrock | thnx | 21:59 |
| rockyrock | guys how do u know these things?? If i want to be like u what should i read?? | 21:59 |
| nikolam | I was just right-click on panel upon install. :) | 22:00 |
| rockyrock | I have another question, i have Ubuntu on another machine and there is Computer icon inside it, but why there is no Computer icon in xubuntu? | 22:01 |
| zoredache | rockyrock: read the docks, hang out in this channel and watch other people asking questions, read lots of howtos on the web. Setup a system with no data where you can play around and not worry about loosing things | 22:01 |
| rockyrock | it's much different than Ubuntu | 22:02 |
| zoredache | XFCE isn't gnome. They have different features, and work differently | 22:02 |
| nikolam | You can make it if you like. You can right-click on desktop, select Create launcher and add comman, like thunar / or thunar /media or so | 22:02 |
| rockyrock | is xfce as powerful as gnome? | 22:03 |
| zoredache | it would depend on how you define powerful. But the answer is probably 'no; | 22:04 |
| zoredache | xfce is developed as a light-weight system. That is they don't try and add every bell and wistle that a person would want. | 22:04 |
| rockyrock | i have a stupid question ;p How do i pronounce XFCE?? is it like X - F - C - E??? | 22:05 |
| nikolam | i personally use pcmanfm file manager | 22:06 |
| nikolam | I like xfce more beacouse i can reconfigure to look like i want | 22:06 |
| nikolam | also you can use gnome panel add-ons using XfApplet plugin | 22:06 |
| rockyrock | How do i pronounce XFCE?? is it like X - F - C - E??? | 22:08 |
| zoredache | you don't need to repeat yourself... | 22:09 |
| zoredache | !repeat | rockyrock | 22:09 |
| ubottu | rockyrock: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 22:09 |
| Genelyk | ammm,,,,, Xfce XD! | 22:09 |
| rockyrock | thnx 4 everything | 22:10 |

| PsynoKhi0 | hi, any updated change log for 8.04.1 for xubuntu? I've only found the one for plain ubuntu so far | 22:12 |
| zoredache | For the most part everything you see in the ubuntu change log applies to Xubuntu | 22:13 |
| zoredache | I think the biggest reason they did the 8.04.1 was to release CDs that didn't have the openssl/ssh issue | 22:14 |
| PsynoKhi0 | ok | 22:15 |
| PsynoKhi0 | and ff3 final I guess :) | 22:15 |
| zoredache | Yeah. It is mostly just a security/bug fix release. | 22:16 |
| PsynoKhi0 | well darn, if MS sent me a new XP cd free of charge everytime they release a service pack... | 22:17 |
| nikolam | MacGyverNL, : see pyNeighborhood | 22:17 |
| PsynoKhi0 | btw have the hardware req increased since gutsy? | 22:22 |
| Stroganoff | due to a bug you need at least 64mb ram | 22:23 |
| Stroganoff | ..for installation | 22:24 |
| Stroganoff | but you can upgrade from gutsy with 64mb | 22:24 |
| PsynoKhi0 | ok... asking since the homepage says "192 MB to run", and I've had issues with hardy on a system with 128MB, gutsy works fine though | 22:25 |
| PsynoKhi0 | basically, anything somehow taxing ends up in a system lockup | 22:31 |
| PsynoKhi0 | well... "taxing"... as far as playing an avi file is | 22:33 |
| PsynoKhi0 | dmesg had nothing valuable, Xorg.0.log had something about "DRIunlock called when not locked" but google failed me heh | 22:37 |
| PsynoKhi0 | only substancial lead was something under /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/power | 22:38 |
| PsynoKhi0 | gutsy has nice C1/C2 states with promote/demote... hardy showed active state C0 | 22:38 |
| PsynoKhi0 | that's as far as I got prior to downgrading | 22:39 |
| PsynoKhi0 | (rather after doing so) | 22:40 |
