| kenyon | hi. i just installed a fresh xubuntu from the 8.04.1 desktop cd. why does ssh server reject connection by default? | 01:54 |
| kenyon | ...because it is not installed | 01:57 |
| kenyon | sorry i was stupid | 01:59 |
| zoredache | we will forgive you this time... :p | 01:59 |
| kenyon | i installed it before but wirh the wrong package name and did not realize | 02:00 |
| kenyon | so i tghought there is some secret activation required or firewall | 02:01 |
| crimsun | kenyon: yeah, we have sekrit runez. | 03:03 |
| kenyon | i knew there was something behind the x | 03:28 |
| bassboi | can i install xubuntu from the internet via a terminal? | 03:52 |
| coldhak | i've just gotten a usb headset, and i'm trying to set it as my default sound device. Audacious and the xfce4-mixer detect it, and play/control it just fine, but asoundconf doesn't detect it. did i forget to do something? can't find any data on this via google. | 03:58 |
| coldhak | google's rather sparse on xfce+usb stuff | 03:59 |

| gko | Hi. | 04:12 |
| bassboi | Howdy partner | 04:12 |
| coldhak | hallo | 04:12 |
| gko | How big in memory is xubuntu, compared to (k)ubuntu ? | 04:13 |
| gko | I have a 320 Mo / Pentium II 366 Mhz laptop. | 04:13 |
| coldhak | not sure how big, but it's smaller :/ | 04:14 |
| gko | I'm trying Ubuntu running with ratpoison but, of course, there is some Ubuntu stuff running that eats the memory. | 04:14 |
| coldhak | you might try running something a little lighter weight, like fluxbox | 04:15 |
| gko | I have tried minimalist distributions, but, paradoxically, it looks like those won't contain stuff needed to run old hardware (without doing patching stuff)... | 04:17 |
| coldhak | ...that's pretty odd | 04:18 |
| coldhak | dunno. i've never really messed with my older systems | 04:19 |
| coldhak | they gather dust in the corner :/ | 04:19 |
| lunch | how to change splash screen to x buntu at boot time? | 04:20 |
| coldhak | hello there | 04:20 |
| coldhak | damn, i know the answer to that one. | 04:24 |
| bassboi | do you know how to install xubuntu from the internet frmo a terminal | 04:25 |
| bassboi | my cd is scratched up but no blanks | 04:26 |
| coldhak | 1) go next door 2) have friend dl cd from internet 3) have friend burn cd 4) install from cd | 04:39 |
| coldhak | dunno what else to say :/ | 04:39 |

| coldhak | damnit, why doesn't he wait for the answer >.< | 04:58 |
| bassboi | wols_, nope | 04:58 |
| bassboi | it's all partitioned up too | 04:58 |
| bassboi | 4g boot, 2g swap, the rest as /home | 04:58 |
| wols_ | then you obviously can't. you need a way to boot the machine first to some OS | 04:58 |
| wols_ | well anything but DOS... | 04:59 |
| bassboi | well | 04:59 |
| bassboi | i can boot the live CD | 04:59 |
| bassboi | just the cd is corrupt | 04:59 |
| bassboi | full of scratches n crap | 05:00 |
| bassboi | and no blanks :( | 05:00 |
| wols_ | then you can | 05:00 |
| wols_ | debootrstrap for example | 05:00 |
| coldhak | happen to have a different cd? maybe an older ubuntu? | 05:00 |
| bassboi | gots mythbuntu | 05:12 |
| bassboi | tho i dont want that | 05:12 |
| coldhak | you could install mythbuuntu, then uninstall all the tv-related junk, and install xfce and all that | 05:17 |
| j1mc | bassboi: you have a 4gb boot partition. did you mean root partition? | 05:17 |
| bassboi | it's mounted as / | 05:17 |
| bassboi | root, yz | 05:17 |
| j1mc | bassboi: is the mythbuntu cd a live cd, or an alternate cd? | 05:17 |
| bassboi | live | 05:17 |
| j1mc | if it were the alternate cd, you could install a command line version of mythbuntu, and then just install xubuntu desktop. | 05:18 |
| bassboi | yzyz | 05:20 |

| === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache | ||
| lunch | how to set settings, so that , when i move files from one folder into the next will work correctly? currently it just do COPY, so i end up having two copies | 07:50 |
| zoredache | I believe if you hold down the shift or alt key when you do your drag and drop it will move | 07:53 |
| lunch | zoredache, yes, only partly true. it works if you are inside thunar, but on the desktop of xfce, it's not thunar, and it will not work | 08:02 |
| zoredache | hrmph... I usually ignore the desktop | 08:07 |
| lunch | zoredache, be better if i can disable desktop navigation | 08:10 |

| coldhak | huh? | 08:52 |
| coldhak | well, doesn't appear to work as easily for me in xfce. | 08:55 |
| lunch2 | coldhak, in gnome,i only need to hit print screen key | 08:55 |
| coldhak | yeah, and like i just said, that's not working for me | 08:55 |
| coldhak | and you asked about xfce. i use xfce, i supplied my method. | 08:56 |
| lunch2 | gnome-panel-screenshot ; run this command and switch to your screen real fast. | 08:56 |
| coldhak | i will look up why the print screen button doesn't work though | 08:57 |
| lunch2 | help if u have slow computer, so you will have enough time to switch screen =) | 08:57 |
| coldhak | <.< if you use the panel widget, you can adjust the delay | 08:58 |
| lunch2 | helps | 08:58 |

| gbjk | Good morning. | 09:50 |
| gbjk | I have a fairly stupid question, but I just want to be sure: I have Xubuntu GG installed. I want to upgrade to HH. Using the update manager appears to be a bad idea. It seems that doing so would upgrade to plain ubuntu, installing most of gnome. Is that correct? | 09:51 |
| coldhak | no, if you're running xubuntu, and you upgrade via the update manager, it upgrades to xubuntu's next version | 09:55 |
| gbjk | coldhak: That's surprising. | 10:36 |
| gbjk | coldhak: I downloaded the iso xubuntu image, and the packages that concerned me aren't listed. | 10:36 |
| gbjk | coldhak: + the info page for 8.04 you get when you click "upgrade" shows ubuntu with no mention of xubuntu anywhere. | 10:40 |
| gbjk | /etc/apt/sources.list doesn't mention xubuntu except for the two cdrom options. | 10:41 |
| coldhak | ...that's strange. i upgraded my desktop just a few weeks ago | 10:46 |
| gbjk | coldnak: I must be wrong. | 10:51 |
| gbjk | So in order to upgrade, I can just use the normal package manager? | 10:52 |
| gbjk | And it won't go installing all the unwanted gnome packages? | 10:53 |
| gbjk | The xubuntu website upgrade from 7.10 page points you to downloading an ISO, which is why I ask. | 10:53 |
| * gbjk tries upgrading a desktop running compiz fusion too first. | 10:56 | |
| Raz0R | can anyone help me, i cant get a dhcp offer using wireless. ethernet works fine but no wireless? | 11:19 |
| gbjk | Raz0R: You can see the thing with iwlist scan? | 11:33 |
| gbjk | Raz0R: And you've connected to it with iwconfig? | 11:34 |
| gbjk | If so dhcpcd and dhclient are the two subsequent commands. | 11:34 |
| Raz0R | gbjk i see the ap with iwlist scan | 11:34 |
| Raz0R | gbjk i have not heard of this ipconfig? | 11:35 |
| gbjk | iwconfig | 11:35 |
| gbjk | iwconfig ethX and see if you're actually connected to the thing. | 11:35 |
| Raz0R | ok | 11:35 |
| Raz0R | iws wlan0 | 11:35 |
| Raz0R | its* | 11:35 |
| gbjk | Gah, yes, of course | 11:36 |
| Raz0R | essid: off/any | 11:36 |
| Raz0R | thing is, ive tried sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid MYESSID but it doesnt seem to be storing the value i set | 11:36 |
| gbjk | IIRC you're missing set from that | 11:36 |
| gbjk | Nope, IRW. No set required. | 11:38 |
| gbjk | Raz0R: iwlist shows you a essid, but iwconfig won't show it after you set it? | 11:38 |
| * gbjk suspects some silly gui applet of interferring. | 11:38 | |
| Raz0R | gbjk lol ok well i have removed network manager and have installed wicd | 11:39 |
| Raz0R | but i also have kwifimanager installed, and wifi radar | 11:39 |
| gbjk | Bloody hell. | 11:39 |
| Raz0R | lol, remove? | 11:40 |
| Raz0R | shall i just leave wicd? | 11:41 |
| gbjk | God knows. I have no familiarity with any of those. | 11:41 |
| gbjk | I know I've achieved wifi on many laptops by manual config where applets failed, and I don't bother with them anymore. | 11:42 |
| gbjk | Exception being... whatever I have running right now that shows my connection. It seems to be unobtrusive. | 11:42 |
| Raz0R | do you know what it is? | 11:45 |
| Raz0R | ok ive just removed all the gui applets and now i just have network manager installed | 11:46 |
| gbjk | Oh FFS. | 12:15 |
| gbjk | Either xubuntu has stopped using xfce4, or xfce4 isn't using much xfce anymore. | 12:16 |
| gbjk | Cos post upgrade, I have gnoe-panel, gnome -settings-daemon, etc all running | 12:16 |
| gbjk | And no xfce in sight. | 12:16 |
| gbjk | Ah, that's right, this system actually had gnome installed, so it went to that because the default login session was lost | 12:18 |
| si10cybin | hello | 12:23 |
| si10cybin | i was hoping someone could give me some basic advice ... | 12:24 |
| si10cybin | i just installed xubuntu on a machine and seem to have come unstuck | 12:24 |
| si10cybin | the root user seems to have been deleted | 12:24 |
| si10cybin | i am new to linux | 12:24 |
| gbjk | I would be amazed if that had happened. | 12:25 |
| si10cybin | synaptic says error "user root does not exist" and exits | 12:25 |
| gbjk | finger root ? | 12:25 |
| gbjk | heh, that's ... very impressive. | 12:25 |
| si10cybin | finger root says "no such user" | 12:25 |
| gbjk | I wonder if you can sudo without a superuser to do as. | 12:25 |
| si10cybin | sudo -i say "no passwd entry for root!" | 12:25 |
| si10cybin | applications/system/users and groups is blank and won't let me add a user | 12:26 |
| si10cybin | any ideas? | 12:26 |
| si10cybin | anybody? | 12:29 |
| gbjk | what does /etc/passwd say? | 12:31 |
| si10cybin | one moment | 12:32 |
| si10cybin | there are two files with the name passwd | 12:34 |
| si10cybin | the first contains my username, I can give you the string if it helps | 12:35 |
| si10cybin | the second is unable to be accessed via the file manager, 'permission denied' | 12:35 |
| si10cybin | i am new to linux so if there is another way to access this file please tell me | 12:35 |
| gbjk | I'm going to have to leave you to it - Need to leave. | 12:35 |
| si10cybin | ok thanks anyway | 12:36 |
| gbjk | si10cybin: I suspect you need to re-install to get the quickest fix for your current kill level. | 12:36 |
| si10cybin | !!! | 12:36 |
| gbjk | si10cybin: Instal only takes 20 mins, not so bad? | 12:36 |
| gbjk | si10cybin: Do you know what you did to delete it, btw? I've never seen anyone do that before by accident. | 12:36 |
| si10cybin | i was trying to install a printer, and came across old instructions that involved creating a cups username and then accessing an administrative panel through the web browser | 12:37 |
| si10cybin | there were no usernames in the user settings to begin with | 12:37 |
| si10cybin | all i did was delete the group that I created when i realised there is a print manager | 12:38 |
| si10cybin | it shouldn't be that easy for a newbie to kill an install | 12:38 |
| gbjk | It really shouldn't, no. | 12:41 |
| si10cybin | oh well | 12:42 |
| si10cybin | i'm trying over in the ubuntu channel to see if anyone there can give me some advice. | 12:42 |
| si10cybin | thanks | 12:42 |
| FreeBullets | >_> i accidentally downloaded, burnt, installed, and setup the wrong xubuntu version | 15:35 |

| Raz0R | i have got my wireless internet connection working with wep, can anyone help me set it up with wpa or wpa2 psk please? | 18:27 |
| vinnl | Raz0R, have you already tried it? | 18:32 |
| Raz0R | vinnl no i am not sure how to go about it | 18:33 |
| vinnl | Raz0R, the same way you did WEP | 18:33 |
| Raz0R | vinnl i used wifi radar to set it up. to do wpa it says driver: | 18:34 |
| Raz0R | what do i put there? | 18:34 |
| Raz0R | ndiswrapper, wext, ? | 18:34 |
| vinnl | Raz0R, that depends on your card, I have about zero experience with wifi-radar | 18:34 |
| vinnl | Are you using ndiswrapper that you are aware of? | 18:35 |
| Raz0R | vinnl yeah i am using it | 18:35 |
| Raz0R | vinnl but i have read that i should use wext anyway, im just a bit confused | 18:35 |
| Raz0R | vinnl its taken about a week to get wep working lol | 18:35 |
| vinnl | Raz0R, I'd say just try both :) | 18:35 |
| Raz0R | vinnl would i just type it in the box ? | 18:36 |
| vinnl | Raz0R, what? | 18:36 |
| TheSheep | doesn't nm-applet make it a single-click operation? | 18:37 |
| Raz0R | vinnl it says wpa driver then a text box. do i just put "ndiswrapper"? | 18:37 |

| sirjoebob | hey all... i am running xubuntu 8.04 and i use a highly customized gui environment. HOWEVER, when i run programs meant for KDE, they dont follow all the same visual style rules. is there a way to change this? | 19:31 |
| vinnl | sirjoebob, you could set a Qt-theme similar to your GTK-theme, and I believe there also was an effort for a Qt theme engine that copies your GTK theme, but that's probably not stable yet | 19:32 |
| vinnl | sirjoebob, you can also do it the other way around: install gtk-qt-engine and have all your GTK applications pick up the Qt theme | 19:33 |
| sirjoebob | stable is not for me anyways... bleeding-edge ftw. :) i will try that | 19:33 |
| sirjoebob | thanks for the tip | 19:34 |
| vinnl | ^.^ | 19:34 |

| slow-motion | hi vinnl | 21:59 |
| neozen-work | salutations all | 21:59 |
| Raz0R | FINALLY i am connected via WPA hahha | 22:03 |
| vinnl | Raz0R, yay! :) | 22:04 |
| Raz0R | vinnl haha lol spent over a week trying | 22:04 |
| vinnl | Raz0R, so what did the trick? | 22:04 |
| Raz0R | vinnl i removed all networking gui software like nm, wicd, etc | 22:05 |
| neozen-work | LoL | 22:05 |
| Raz0R | installed wifi radar, set up wpa supplicant with about a hundred diff configurations until one finally worked | 22:05 |
| vinnl | That must've been of great relief ;-) | 22:05 |
| neozen-work | nothing more frustrating then having hardware take forever to convince to do something sane | 22:07 |
| neozen-work | ....*damn macs | 22:07 |
| * neozen-work grins | 22:07 | |
| Raz0R | lol | 22:08 |
| Raz0R | i think it was a good thing though as i have no experience with linux before this, and i think ive learnt more this way than if i had just been working properly from plug in :) | 22:09 |
| Raz0R | ...maybe | 22:09 |
| vinnl | Yeah, but then again... It's nice if things Just Work :P | 22:09 |
| Raz0R | vinnl actually, yes it was most antagonizing | 22:10 |
| Raz0R | there is one more thing i need help with | 22:11 |
| neozen-work | I've found the do it yourself option works quite well, provided documentation is both adequate and open for change | 22:11 |
| Raz0R | i need to get wpa_supplicant to start at boot time, along with wifi radar | 22:12 |
| Raz0R | wifi radar is done sorry, just need to run this at startup sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf - can anyone tell me how? | 22:12 |
| vinnl | Does it need to run when you boot up or when you log in? (I only know how to do the latter :( ) | 22:13 |
| Raz0R | when i login will do as im the only user | 22:13 |
| Raz0R | yeah im not gonna need remote login or anything | 22:14 |
| vinnl | Raz0R, then you can do it using Autostarted Applications from Applications->Settings->Settings Manager | 22:14 |
| vinnl | (Or do some Googling :) | 22:14 |
| Raz0R | vinnl lol thanks | 22:15 |
| Raz0R | ok lol. lets see if it still works after a reboot | 22:17 |
| Raz0R | wish me luck :D | 22:17 |
| vinnl | Good luck :) | 22:18 |
| si10cybin | anyone able to help with a missing /etc/group? | 22:34 |
| TheSheep | si10cybin: might be difficult | 22:40 |
| TheSheep | si10cybin: some of the GIDs are generated, and thenumbers depend on the order in which you install things | 22:41 |
| TheSheep | si10cybin: but here's mine if that helps you: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/81076/ | 22:41 |
| si10cybin | thanks | 22:42 |
| si10cybin | it's a new install, i have only installed ndiswrapper on top of the default | 22:42 |
| si10cybin | i was thinking of copying the default off of the install cd | 22:42 |
| si10cybin | i am in the recovery console of the install cd, (recovery console in grub doesn't work) | 22:43 |
| si10cybin | i am new to linux | 22:43 |
| si10cybin | could you please guide me how to find the file on the cd and copy it? | 22:43 |
| TheSheep | it should be in /etc/group | 22:43 |
| si10cybin | it's missing | 22:44 |
| si10cybin | oh you mean on the cd | 22:44 |
| si10cybin | forgive the noob | 22:44 |
| TheSheep | when you are running the livecd, / is different than your hdd | 22:44 |
| si10cybin | it's the alternative install cd | 22:44 |
| TheSheep | you will have to mount your partition | 22:45 |
| si10cybin | it mounted the partition | 22:45 |
| TheSheep | your system partition, I think there is an option for that on the alt cd | 22:45 |
| TheSheep | ok, now switch to second console with alt+ctrl+f2 | 22:45 |
| si10cybin | ok | 22:45 |
| si10cybin | done | 22:46 |
| TheSheep | you should see the livecd's /etc/group there, when you do: ls /etc/group | 22:46 |
| si10cybin | when i type that it responds with one line saying '/etc/group' | 22:46 |
| TheSheep | yes, that's correct | 22:46 |
| si10cybin | cool | 22:46 |
| TheSheep | type 'mount' to see where your system partition is mounted | 22:47 |
| si10cybin | is it the one that is type ext2? | 22:48 |
| TheSheep | yes, it's probably something like /target | 22:48 |
| TheSheep | or /media/something | 22:48 |
| si10cybin | it says '/dev/sda1 on /target' | 22:48 |
| TheSheep | great | 22:48 |
| TheSheep | now, type: ls /target/etc/group | 22:49 |
| amirman | i'm thinking of installing xubuntu on a laptop for a computer illiterate relative, what are the drawbacks of xubuntu on this front compared to ubuntu? | 22:49 |
| si10cybin | it says /target/etc/group | 22:49 |
| slow-motion | do i get 8.04.1 automatic when i make the normal updates? | 22:49 |
| TheSheep | amirman: less programs, the programs have less automation, some things have to be configured in terminal, not with gui | 22:49 |
| crimsun | slow-motion: hardy-updates and hardy-security, yes. | 22:50 |
| amirman | TheSheep: this user will only be using the internet and play some simple games, how much configuring would i have to do before i can give them the laptop? | 22:50 |
| TheSheep | amirman: how is the internet connected? | 22:51 |
| slow-motion | thx crimsun | 22:51 |
| TheSheep | si10cybin: this means the file exists | 22:51 |
| si10cybin | ok | 22:51 |
| TheSheep | si10cybin: cat /target/etc/group will show its contents | 22:51 |
| amirman | TheSheep: well they dont have a router set up as of now, but i'm guessing they will get one and use it wirelessly | 22:51 |
| si10cybin | it only has three lines in it | 22:52 |
| si10cybin | shadow:x:42 | 22:52 |
| TheSheep | amirman: then it all depends on whether the wireless card in the laptop is supported natively | 22:52 |
| si10cybin | nogroup:x:65534: | 22:52 |
| TheSheep | si10cybin: ok, ok | 22:52 |
| si10cybin | nathan:x:1000: | 22:52 |
| TheSheep | si10cybin: so, if you are decided to copy the one from livecd, do: cp /etc/group /target/etc/group | 22:53 |
| amirman | TheSheep: not sure, it's a dell d505, i'm not sure what wireless device is in it though | 22:53 |
| TheSheep | si10cybin: you will also have to edit it and change the name of the group 1000 to 'nathan', it will be probably 'ubuntu' or something like that | 22:53 |
| si10cybin | ok | 22:53 |
| amirman | TheSheep: wait i see now, it's broadcom B43 | 22:53 |
| si10cybin | what command to edit it? | 22:53 |
| TheSheep | si10cybin: nano /target/etc/group | 22:54 |
| TheSheep | si10cybin: then ctrl+x to save and exit | 22:54 |
| si10cybin | actually the one on the cd only has 'root:x:0:' | 22:54 |
| si10cybin | but i think i cant restore it from here | 22:55 |
| si10cybin | there's some weblinks i found | 22:55 |
| si10cybin | thanks | 22:55 |
| rabby | hello | 22:56 |
| TheSheep | amirman: I'm not sure whether it's supported, you should check the wiki. that's one thing that might require some setting up | 22:57 |
| rabby | why does apt-get install linux-restricted-modules not install the fcpci on my system although the package's description says it did?! | 22:57 |
| TheSheep | rabby: what's fcpci and how do you tell it's not installed? | 22:58 |
| th0r | rabby, it should be in /lib/linux-restricted-modules | 23:00 |
| rabby | TheSheep: AVM ISDN Fritz!Card | 23:00 |
| TheSheep | waah, packages.ubuntu.com doesn't work :( | 23:00 |
| rabby | it can be found here: /lib/linux-restricted-modules/2.6.22-14-generic/fcpci | 23:00 |
| vinnl | TheSheep, I noticed :( | 23:00 |
| rabby | but modprobe fcpci tells me, there is no module to load :( | 23:00 |
| TheSheep | rabby: what does uname -r say? | 23:01 |
| rabby | 2.6.22-14-server | 23:02 |
| TheSheep | rabby: install linux-restricted-modules-server | 23:02 |
| Genelyk | hi | 23:02 |
| rabby | think i have to upgrade first..? | 23:02 |
| vinnl | Hey Genelyk | 23:03 |
| TheSheep | rabby: no, you are just running a -server kernel, and restricted modules installs modules for -generic by default | 23:03 |
| vinnl | Raz0R, and? :) | 23:03 |
| rabby | ah ok, i will do so, after. the upgrade is running already... | 23:03 |
| rabby | thanks so far ;-) | 23:03 |
| Raz0R | vinnl hmm got connected but was a bit complex lol | 23:04 |
| RandyboY | What can i do to get my folders and mounts back on my desktop? Had some trouble with some mounts and since that it has been gone... No menus when i right-click desktop either... | 23:04 |
| TheSheep | RandyboY: press alt+f2 and type 'xfdesktop' | 23:05 |
| RandyboY | TheSheep, that file isnt there. But when i open desktop in browser, all my folders and files are there... | 23:07 |
| TheSheep | RandyboY: it's a command | 23:07 |
| TheSheep | RandyboY: to start a program that displays your desktop | 23:07 |
| Raz0R | vinnl can you check my pastebin please: http://pastebin.com/m5d27902c | 23:10 |
| RandyboY | TheSheep, "Couldnt open <<file:///home/randy/xfdesktop>> , "Location or file wasnt found" | 23:10 |
| vinnl | Raz0R, that's like Chinese to me :P | 23:11 |
| Raz0R | ah ok | 23:11 |
| Raz0R | lol | 23:11 |
| Raz0R | god damn thing went crazy lol | 23:11 |
| vinnl | xD | 23:11 |
| Raz0R | once i did sudo dhclient wlan0 it was cool | 23:11 |
| Raz0R | the script didnt seem to run at boot either | 23:12 |
| TheSheep | RandyboY: wait, where did you type that? | 23:12 |
| Raz0R | if i type in a sudo command will it need a pwd or will it just run it? | 23:12 |
| TheSheep | Raz0R: where do you type it? | 23:12 |
| RandyboY | TheSheep, in the box that appeared when i typed alt+f2 | 23:13 |
| TheSheep | RandyboY: and you only type 'xfdesktop', nothing else? | 23:13 |
| RandyboY | TheSheep, true | 23:13 |
| TheSheep | RandyboY: can you get to a terminal? | 23:13 |
| RandyboY | yeah | 23:13 |
| Raz0R | TheSheep in autostarted apps>add app | 23:13 |
| TheSheep | RandyboY: type it in a terminal | 23:14 |
| TheSheep | Raz0R: it will ask for the password the first time it's run, use 'gksu' instead of 'sudo' to have a graphical prompt | 23:14 |
| Raz0R | TheSheep ok thankyou, so it asked for a password i just didnt see it? | 23:14 |
| TheSheep | Raz0R: probably | 23:15 |
| TheSheep | Raz0R: why aren't you using the network-manager? | 23:15 |
| RandyboY | TheSheep, its the xfce4 desktop youre talking about? Ive installed and using gnome... | 23:15 |
| Raz0R | ok cool | 23:15 |
| Raz0R | TheSheep it doesnt work | 23:15 |
| TheSheep | RandyboY: ah, then ask on #ubuntu | 23:17 |
| RandyboY | TheSheep, uhm, ok :) | 23:17 |
| Raz0R | is there anyway i can make one command run before another one? | 23:17 |
| TheSheep | RandyboY: but you rpobably want 'nautilus' instead | 23:17 |
| TheSheep | Raz0R: write a short script and run that | 23:17 |
| Raz0R | ok brb | 23:18 |
| RandyboY | TheSheep, that worked :-) Thanks | 23:18 |
