| zonkers | hello | 00:47 |
| genelyk | Hi | 00:48 |
| zonkers | i have a beef with the xubuntu wireless gui | 00:49 |
| zonkers | i was finally able to get wireless working with CLI but not with the gui. who would need to know this information? | 00:49 |
| homebrewcider | read somewhere to get my walkman mounted to use pmount, worked okay but every time i attached it, it got mounted in another directory in /media. Now i have numerous folders there, sdc1 through to sdj1, all with a created by pmount document in it | 01:03 |
| zoredache | I don't know anything about pmount, but the obvious question is. Are you unmounting things correctly? | 01:07 |
| homebrewcider | thought I did, this happened yesterday, but doing the umount command says nothing is mounted | 01:09 |
| homebrewcider | ok, I just did it again, it seems to have started from sdc1 again, instead of tacking it on the end | 01:14 |
| homebrewcider | and making it sdk1 | 01:14 |
| homebrewcider | it seems i wasn't unmounting it | 01:14 |
| homebrewcider | because i unmounted it then, reattached and it was sdc1 again | 01:15 |
| homebrewcider | ok, so my bad BUT | 01:15 |
| homebrewcider | how do I get rid of these redundant entries? | 01:15 |
| homebrewcider | and how can I get this to automount? In Xubuntu 7.10 it used to mount automatically, however, in Xubuntu 8.04 it doesn't | 01:21 |
| cody-somerville | Hello Folks :) | 01:24 |
| homebrewcider | how do I get rid of these redundant entries? rmdir does nothing | 02:05 |
| charlie-tca_ | homebrewcider: I don't use pmount, it is not on my system, but can you use rm -R or sudo rm -R to remove those? | 02:19 |
| homebrewcider | rm -R ??? | 02:20 |
| charlie-tca_ | man rm; removes directories and files under that directory | 02:21 |
| homebrewcider | sounds dangerous | 02:23 |
| hads | It can be. | 02:23 |
| charlie-tca_ | It can be. Should be able to use the same syntax as rmdir, though. | 02:23 |
| hads | You can `rm -ri` which will prompt you on every file. | 02:24 |
| hads | If you are using globing (e.g. rm -r foo*) then trying with ls -l foo* first is good assurance that you're getting the right target. | 02:25 |
| sean_ | I'm having trouble with spellchecking with both openoffice and kwrite. I just need to write an essay but both don't seem to have english spellchecking functionality | 02:33 |
| sean_ | i have even downloaded aspell, but i can't integrate it into either program | 02:34 |
| homebrewcider | so what would be the command to remove /media/sdc1 ? | 02:39 |
| homebrewcider | never mind | 02:41 |
| homebrewcider | cheers | 02:43 |
| homebrewcider | how can I get this mp3 player to automount? In Xubuntu 7.10 it used to mount automatically, however, in Xubuntu 8.04 it doesn't | 02:43 |
| homebrewcider | hey there, got cut off before, Xubuntu 7.10 used to auto mount my sony walkman mp3 player, 8.04 does not, and i have no idea what to do, please help. | 02:58 |
| giacomo_ | hey folks, quick linux newbie question: from Terminal, how do I edit xorg.conf with admin priveleges? | 03:20 |
| cody-somerville | giacomo_, append sudo to your command | 03:20 |
| cody-somerville | so: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:20 |
| cody-somerville | running the following will auto-generate it for you: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh | 03:21 |
| giacomo_ | thanks, I didn't know what the default editor was for xubuntu! | 03:21 |
| giacomo_ | (nano) | 03:21 |
| giacomo_ | Cheers! | 03:21 |
| zoredache | vi is available too if you like that better | 03:22 |
| giacomo_ | I'll try both, thanks | 03:23 |
| zoredache | if you have never used either before use nano... Vi has an insanely steep learning curve | 03:23 |
| giacomo_ | how do I save changes in vi? | 03:25 |
| zoredache | get into command mode then send a ':w' | 03:26 |
| giacomo_ | k, I'm going to use nano afterall. how are changes saved with nano? in 'command' mode? | 03:27 |
| gaurdro | for nano save is ctr-x | 03:28 |
| gaurdro | and there's no command modee | 03:28 |
| giacomo_ | great thanks a ton guys | 03:28 |
| Aquina | Does someone know where logs on shutdown are saved (messages, dmesg doesn't seem to contain them)? | 04:06 |

| holyguyver | Hello I have for some reason never been able to get Audacity nor any recording software to work on my computer in Ubuntu, so it must be a driver problem, yet my soundcard works in Ubuntu as I am able to listen to music. So is there some form of salution? | 09:00 |
| ablomen | holyguyver, you have to set the drivers in audacity by hand, or at least it used to be that way | 09:04 |
| ablomen | so you have to just do some trail and error with the configuration | 09:05 |
| holyguyver | I have tried that, it hasn't seemed to change anything, but I am not talking about audacity | 09:05 |
| ablomen | oh srry just your sound input device | 09:06 |
| ablomen | cant help you with that | 09:06 |

| rockyrock | hi guys | 12:56 |
| rockyrock | i have a problem with my xubuntu | 12:56 |
| rockyrock | when i started up my laptop today i found that the Panels are disappeared!!!! | 12:57 |
| rockyrock | the main panel ( that have the Applications and Places ) and also the one in the bottom | 12:58 |
| rockyrock | but i remembered that yesterday i was missing with the keyboards, so is there any key(s) that makes the panels disappear???? | 12:59 |
| rockyrock | and how can i retrieve the panels? | 13:00 |
| Odd-rationale | rockyrock: try renaming the ~/.config folder and then logging out and back in... | 13:04 |
| rockyrock | sorry but how can i do that?? i'm new to ubuntu! | 13:04 |
| Odd-rationale | rockyrock: well, there are several ways... | 13:08 |
| rockyrock | oki... | 13:09 |
| Odd-rationale | rockyrock: one way would be to open your file-manager (thunar) and then go to View --> show hidden files (or press ctrl+h) then select the .config folder and rename it. | 13:09 |
| Odd-rationale | or you can execute "mv -r ~/.config ~/.config.bak" | 13:09 |
| rockyrock | where can i find the config folder??? | 13:10 |
| rockyrock | in wich directory? | 13:10 |
| Odd-rationale | in your home dir | 13:11 |
| Odd-rationale | ~ or /home/<your_username> | 13:11 |
| Odd-rationale | rockyrock: also, note the "." | 13:11 |
| rockyrock | oky i found it | 13:11 |
| rockyrock | rename it for what?? | 13:11 |
| Odd-rationale | rockyrock: rename it to like ".config.bak" | 13:12 |
| rockyrock | i did it and I'm rebooting the computer now | 13:12 |
| Odd-rationale | no just log out... | 13:12 |
| rockyrock | :( i did it! | 13:13 |
| Odd-rationale | you do not need to reboot. this is not windows... :P | 13:13 |
| rockyrock | this is great to hear that! | 13:13 |
| Odd-rationale | only need to reboot when you do a kernel update or something... | 13:13 |
| rockyrock | thnx for the tip! | 13:13 |
| rockyrock | the computer has loged in but nothing changes, only the background! | 13:14 |
| rockyrock | no panels! | 13:14 |
| Odd-rationale | hmm. | 13:14 |
| rockyrock | now i have two .config folders | 13:15 |
| Odd-rationale | try removing both... | 13:16 |
| rockyrock | and then log out? | 13:16 |
| Odd-rationale | yeah | 13:16 |
| rockyrock | ok | 13:16 |
| rockyrock | nothing! | 13:17 |
| rockyrock | now i have only one | 13:17 |
| rockyrock | should i remove the xubuntu and reinstall it again? | 13:18 |
| Odd-rationale | no... | 13:18 |
| Odd-rationale | can you right click the desktop and get a menu? | 13:18 |
| rockyrock | yes | 13:18 |
| rockyrock | but i can't make a SELECTION using the left click! | 13:20 |
| rockyrock | i mean on the desktop | 13:20 |
| rockyrock | only on the desktop | 13:20 |
| Odd-rationale | rockyrock: ok. so when you right-click the desktop, go to settings --> panel | 13:21 |
| rockyrock | there is no "Settings"! there is only Desktop settings | 13:22 |
| rockyrock | and in the Desktop settings there is no Panel | 13:23 |
| Odd-rationale | rockyrock: is that computer connected to the net? | 13:23 |
| rockyrock | no | 13:24 |
| rockyrock | i installed xubuntu two days ago | 13:24 |
| rockyrock | and i haven't connected to the net since then | 13:25 |
| Odd-rationale | rockyrock: ok. well let's try removing some more config files... try this command in terminal "rm -rf ~/.config ~/.gconf ~/.gconfd ~/.gnome2 ~/.gnome2_private/ ~/.local" | 13:26 |
| rockyrock | i did that and i logged out and logged in again, but nothing happend! | 13:29 |
| Odd-rationale | rockyrock: that is strange... try "sudo apt-get reinstall xubuntu-desktop" | 13:30 |
| Odd-rationale | rockyrock: wait. you have to internet... | 13:31 |
| rockyrock | no i don't have | 13:31 |
| Odd-rationale | yeah, so that wouldn't work... | 13:32 |
| Odd-rationale | i am very surprised that doesn't work... | 13:32 |
| Odd-rationale | well, i have to head off to work pretty soon... sorry i couldn't help more... | 13:34 |
| rockyrock | look i might knew the problem. Yesterday i connected the laptop into a 19inch LCD monitor and the desktop appear too short on the LCD cuz my Video card is too old 32MB INTEL. So i think the laptop got confuzed! | 13:34 |
| rockyrock | thnx for everything man | 13:34 |
| rockyrock | can anybody tell me how can i change the resoluation of the screen cuz that might work | 13:35 |
