[00:47] <zonkers> hello
[00:48] <genelyk> Hi
[00:49] <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?
[01:03] <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
[01:07] <zoredache> I don't know anything about pmount, but the obvious question is.  Are you unmounting things correctly?
[01:09] <homebrewcider> thought I did, this happened yesterday, but doing the umount command says nothing is mounted
[01:14] <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
[01:15] <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?
[01:21] <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
[01:24] <cody-somerville> Hello Folks :)
[02:05] <homebrewcider> how do I get rid of these redundant entries? rmdir does nothing
[02:19] <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?
[02:20] <homebrewcider> rm -R  ???
[02:21] <charlie-tca_> man rm; removes directories and files under that directory
[02:23] <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.
[02:24] <hads> You can `rm -ri` which will prompt you on every file.
[02:25] <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.
[02:33] <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
[02:34] <sean_> i have even downloaded aspell, but i can't integrate it into either program
[02:39] <homebrewcider> so what would be the command to remove /media/sdc1 ?
[02:41] <homebrewcider> never mind
[02:43] <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
[02:58] <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.
[03:20] <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
[03:21] <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!
[03:22] <zoredache> vi is available too if you like that better
[03:23] <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
[03:25] <giacomo_> how do I save changes in vi?
[03:26] <zoredache> get into command mode then send a ':w'
[03:27] <giacomo_> k, I'm going to use nano afterall. how are changes saved with nano? in 'command' mode?
[03:28] <gaurdro> for nano save is ctr-x
[03:28] <gaurdro> and there's no command modee
[03:28] <giacomo_> great thanks a ton guys
[04:06] <Aquina> Does someone know where logs on shutdown are saved (messages, dmesg doesn't seem to contain them)?
[04:08] <charlie-tca_> I think they are in /var/log/syslog.0
[05:53] <Guest78138> hello. is anyone here?
[05:56] <hads> !ask
[05:56] <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. :-)

[09:00] <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?
[09:04] <ablomen> holyguyver, you have to set the drivers in audacity by hand, or at least it used to be that way
[09:05] <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
[09:06] <ablomen> oh srry just your sound input device
[09:06] <ablomen> cant help you with that
[09:08] <holyguyver> Thanks anyway :)

[12:56] <rockyrock> hi guys
[12:56] <rockyrock> i have a problem with my xubuntu
[12:57] <rockyrock> when i started up my laptop today i found that the Panels are disappeared!!!!
[12:58] <rockyrock> the main panel ( that have the Applications and Places ) and also the one in the bottom
[12:59] <rockyrock> but i remembered that yesterday i was missing with the keyboards, so is there any key(s) that makes the panels disappear????
[13:00] <rockyrock> and how can i retrieve the panels?
[13:04] <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!
[13:08] <Odd-rationale> rockyrock: well, there are several ways...
[13:09] <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"
[13:10] <rockyrock> where can i find the config folder???
[13:10] <rockyrock> in wich directory?
[13:11] <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??
[13:12] <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...
[13:13] <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!
[13:14] <rockyrock> the computer has loged in but nothing changes, only the background!
[13:14] <rockyrock> no panels!
[13:14] <Odd-rationale> hmm.
[13:15] <rockyrock> now i have two .config folders
[13:16] <Odd-rationale> try removing both...
[13:16] <rockyrock> and then log out?
[13:16] <Odd-rationale> yeah
[13:16] <rockyrock> ok
[13:17] <rockyrock> nothing!
[13:17] <rockyrock> now i have only one
[13:18] <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
[13:20] <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
[13:21] <Odd-rationale> rockyrock: ok. so when you right-click the desktop, go to settings --> panel
[13:22] <rockyrock> there is no "Settings"! there is only Desktop settings
[13:23] <rockyrock> and in the Desktop settings there is no Panel
[13:23] <Odd-rationale> rockyrock: is that computer connected to the net?
[13:24] <rockyrock> no
[13:24] <rockyrock> i installed xubuntu two days ago
[13:25] <rockyrock> and i haven't connected to the net since then
[13:26] <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"
[13:29] <rockyrock> i did that and i logged out and logged in again, but nothing happend!
[13:30] <Odd-rationale> rockyrock: that is strange... try "sudo apt-get reinstall xubuntu-desktop"
[13:31] <Odd-rationale> rockyrock: wait. you have to internet...
[13:31] <rockyrock> no i don't have
[13:32] <Odd-rationale> yeah, so that wouldn't work...
[13:32] <Odd-rationale> i am very surprised that doesn't work...
[13:34] <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
[13:35] <rockyrock> can anybody tell me how can i change the resoluation of the screen cuz that might work
