[02:21] <dtolj> thanks
[02:21] <favro> np :)
[04:06] <shane_> any idea as to y when i click on my places icon it goes to processing it and then after a while just stops and doesnt open nothing
[04:09] <favro> have you done anything like reinstall/move your home folder or such?
[04:09] <shane_> not as far as i now
[04:11] <shane_> same as when i download things it apears on my desktop and now they dont show,but if i go to change my desktop picture when i browse desktop it lists them
[04:11] <favro> we are talking about places in the top panel?
[04:11] <shane_> yes
[04:11] <shane_> when i open it it lists files when i click on any it gives the clock icon that its processing and then just stops and doesnt open
[04:11] <favro> figured so - just waiting for virtualbox to boot my xubuntu guest...
[04:12] <favro> any mounts from samba or nfs?
[04:13] <shane_> im a relative newbie
[04:13] <favro> hehe - that's fine :) everyone starts out that way
[04:14] <shane_> i have picked up a bit but not to much
[04:16] <favro> if you right click your home folder in places what does it say?
[04:16] <favro> your home folder = your login name
[04:16] <shane_> it doesnt say anything it makes the lil icon that its working and then just stops
[04:20] <favro> ok - can you open a terminal? - type   thunar /   and hit enter
[04:21] <shane_> thunar/ gives a no such file
[04:21] <favro>  thunar / - there's a space before the /
[04:22] <shane_> ok it has given a fresh line no words
[04:23] <favro> are you using xubuntu?
[04:23] <shane_> yes xubuntu hardy
[04:24] <favro> ok then... - in terminal type   sudo apt-get install thunar
[04:25] <shane_> thunar is already the newest version
[04:25] <favro> again in terminal   which thunar
[04:27] <shane_> it just gives usr / bin / thunar
[04:27] <favro> so it should :)
[04:28] <shane_> perfect ;)
[04:28] <favro> I don't know why the file manager thunar won't start from command line - does   thunar  in terminal do anything?
[04:29] <shane_> thunar in terminal just brings a blank line
[04:30] <favro> my next suggestion would be to remove reinstall the file manager
[04:30] <favro> sudo apt-get --purge remove thunar
[04:30] <Odd-rationale> wait
[04:31] <Odd-rationale> before you do that...
[04:31] <shane_> im still here
[04:31] <Odd-rationale> can i try something?
[04:31] <favro> watch to see if anything else will be removed
[04:31] <favro> sure
[04:31] <Odd-rationale> ok. hold on...
[04:31] <favro> Odd-rationale: :)
[04:32] <Odd-rationale> shane_: try this command in a terminal: rm -rf ~/.config/Thunar
[04:32] <shane_> the only time i use thunar is gksu   thunar to unlock locked files
[04:33] <Odd-rationale> shane_: tell me when you ahve run the above command...
[04:33] <shane_> it doesnt seem to do a thing fresh shane @ line
[04:34] <Odd-rationale> shane_: ok good. now do: thunar
[04:34] <shane_> it just goes blank line now
[04:34] <Odd-rationale> shane_: does thunar open anywhere?
[04:35] <shane_> no and if i use thunar file manager nothing opens either
[04:35] <favro> does mousepad open from terminal?
[04:35] <shane_> yes i get a untitled
[04:36] <Odd-rationale> shane_: when did this start happening?
[04:36] <shane_> yesterday was slow to open today is dead
[04:36] <Odd-rationale> shane_: does `gksudo thunar` work ?
[04:37] <shane_> sure does
[04:38] <shane_> oh also yesterday my trash locked up on me also
[04:39] <shane_> gave me a could not conect mesage
[04:40] <favro> dbus maybe?
[04:40] <Odd-rationale> shane_: try: rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash
[04:40] <Odd-rationale> we can try restarting dbus...
[04:40] <shane_> blashane @ line
[04:40] <shane_> sorry blank
[04:40] <Odd-rationale> sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart
[04:41] <shane_> wow that did something
[04:41] <Odd-rationale> shane_: what did it say? any errors?
[04:42] <shane_> lol i have no places icon now and my trash aplet is a red circle with a line through it
[04:42] <shane_> everything is ok
[04:42] <Odd-rationale> :?
[04:42] <shane_> in terminal all actions were marked as ok
[04:42] <shane_> i still have no icon
[04:43] <Odd-rationale> shane_: maybe we should restart fam as well: sudo /etc/init.d/fam restart
[04:43] <shane_> that could not be found
[04:44] <Odd-rationale> ok nvm...
[04:44] <shane_> sorry that was comand not found
[04:44] <Odd-rationale> hey. let me finish my shower first, and i'll be right back... damn, when will they make laptops you can take into the shower... :(
[04:45] <shane_> lol no prob ill be here
[04:45] <Odd-rationale> meanwhile, you guys try what you can... :P
[04:45] <favro> was this an install from the live cd?
[04:45] <shane_> yes it was
[04:46] <shane_> i have been running it for nearly 3 months
[04:46] <shane_> my daughters machine had a prob 2 days ago also it lost the wireless card and i had to restart to get it to boot the card
[04:47] <shane_> i am leaning on a update that was placed 2 days ago thats when all this began
[04:47] <favro> that makes me wonder about any updates you may have done
[04:47] <favro> :)
[04:48] <shane_> lol yes but unfortianitly i dont keep track of them i just enter password and it does them all
[04:48] <favro> try in terminal   sudo apt-get -f install
[04:49] <shane_> 0 updates upgrades nothin removed
[04:49] <favro> k
[04:50] <shane_> and if i enter the cpu speedo it lists just the programs i am using so there doesnt apear to be any faults
[04:50] <shane_> in xterm that is
[04:51] <favro> does   sudo killall -v thunar   return anything?
[04:52] <shane_> a bunch of killed thunar
[04:52] <shane_> all signal 15
[04:52] <favro> tha she blows
[04:52] <shane_> wich is my prob
[04:52] <favro> run that command again - try the up arrow
[04:54] <favro> it "should " return no process killed
[04:54] <shane_> no process killed
[04:54] <favro> now try   thunar
[04:55] <shane_> same just a blank line
[04:55] <favro> sudo killall -v thunar   again
[04:55] <favro> any killed?
[04:55] <shane_> nopers
[04:56] <favro> I'm still thinking --purge remove thunar install thunar but Odd-rationale might have a trick up his/her sleeve :)
[04:57] <shane_> yah im not sure mabey we shall just wait for him to finish his shower and see
[04:57] <favro> k :)
[04:57] <shane_> odd has helped me allot with getting setup in linux
[04:58] <favro> your in a large club there :)
[04:58] <shane_> actually this irc has been absolutely wonderfull with making the transition
[04:59] <Odd-rationale> shower finished... need to brush my teeth...
[05:00] <shane_> lol ok ill brb gonna get a tea
[05:00] <Odd-rationale> wait... this isn't twitter... :P
[05:00] <shane_> kk
[05:06] <shane_> when ever use are ready
[05:10] <favro> the dbus restart shows you don't have a working file manager imo
[05:11] <shane_> im guessing i am in need of a file manager then
[05:12] <Odd-rationale> i'm thinking you need to reboot... before we go much further...
[05:13] <shane_> k ill be right back
[05:14] <Odd-rationale> hmm konversation on xfce... :?
[05:18] <tina> hey Odd-rationale i have a blank screen on my system when i restarted it only opened terminal and no other aps
[05:18] <tina> lucky i got my daughters wireless back on yesterday
[05:19] <Odd-rationale> tina: blank screen when you login? or boot?
[05:19] <tina> will xfce4-panel work-------after login
[05:21] <Odd-rationale> tina: hmm. try to do ctrl+alt+f2 and see if you can login there
[05:21] <shane_> ok i alt f2 and did the xfce-4 and its back
[05:22] <shane_> still no icon for places and trash is still locked up
[05:23] <shane_> Odd-rationale:
[05:23] <Odd-rationale> shane_: ok. let's try something more radical: rm -rf ~/.config ~/.local
[05:24] <shane_> new shane @ line
[05:24] <Odd-rationale> then restart X: ctrl+alt+bksp
[05:24] <Odd-rationale> then log back in
[05:25] <shane_> ok did restart again
[05:25] <shane_> i had to alt f2 again
[05:25] <shane_> and also it changed my sizing on monitor
[05:26] <Odd-rationale> shane_: does thunar open now?
[05:27] <shane_> no icon and trash locked and no thunar
[05:27] <Odd-rationale> hmm...
[05:28] <shane_> gksu thunar works
[05:29] <favro> could it be groups?
[05:31] <shane_> when i type groups in terminal i get
[05:31] <shane_> shane adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin
[05:31] <shane_> not sure if thats what u wanted?
[05:32] <favro> looks ok
[05:32] <favro> and yes :)
[05:33] <shane_> ok things are wrong now i have a bunch of black boxes on desktop and i cant right click
[05:35] <favro> sounds like hardware issues
[05:35] <shane_> after 3 months
[05:35] <shane_> this system has been flawless till yesterday
[05:35] <Odd-rationale> idk what could be the issue...
[05:36] <favro> is the older kernel still available from the grub prompt?
[05:36] <favro> try booting into it if yes
[05:37] <shane_> probing devices
[05:39] <shane_> ok it gives me a grub> line
[05:39] <shane_> if i boot grub i get kernal must be loaded before booting error 8
[05:40] <favro> how many hard drives are you using?
[05:40] <shane_> one
[05:40] <shane_> its just a ultra ide 80 gig
[05:40] <favro> k one min - off to google :)
[05:43] <shane_> but if i gksu thunar it list all files
[05:45] <favro> so the older kernel won't boot? - error 8 is bad file
[05:45] <shane_> hmm
[05:45] <favro> will the kernel you were in before boot?
[05:46] <shane_> how do i find out
[05:46] <favro> hold the comps' power button in until it stops then start again...
[05:47] <shane_> ok will b back
[05:47] <favro> k
[05:51] <shane_> welcome back its all there again
[05:51] <shane_> and thunar opens now
[05:52] <shane_> i did have to do alt f2 and the start xfce-4 again but it all came up
[05:52] <Odd-rationale> hmm what did you do?
[05:53] <favro> you shouldn't have to start xfce4
[05:54] <shane_> i know i shouldnt but i have had that prob for a while and Odd-rationale all i did was complete restart power od
[05:54] <Odd-rationale> shane_: from the login screen, did you choose xfce as your sesion?
[05:55] <shane_> u know what im not sure i will restart in a few and i bet im just starting on last sesion
[05:56] <shane_> ok i restarted and set sesion to xfce it is ok now
[05:57] <shane_> and all my files are back in tact also
[05:57] <favro> shane_: well that was pure luck :)
[05:58] <shane_> yah im not sure y it did it but when i did power off it all came back
[05:58]  * favro has fingers crossed for the future
[05:59] <shane_> ty favro hopefully all stays well and ty Odd-rationale as well
[06:00] <shane_> i will let it be for now and hopefully is all ok
[06:00] <favro> np :)
[06:00] <Odd-rationale> shane_: ok glad it works :D
[06:01] <shane_> yah ty's and i wish i new what we fixed so i can do it in the future if need be
[06:02] <favro> so it turned out a boot into another kernel and reboot to the first kernel gave errors but sorted the main issue out...?
[06:02] <favro> hehe
[06:02] <shane_> mabey my restart isnt good enough i need a full power off once in a while lol not sure but ty's again im gonna sighn off and get some sleep
[06:02] <favro> night :)
[06:38] <prexium01> Hey all.
[06:38] <prexium01> Is this the room for server help?
[06:40] <Odd-rationale> !server | prexium01
[06:40] <prexium01> Ok, ty ;)
[06:40] <Odd-rationale> np
[08:01] <s73v3r> Hi. Can someone help me with some install issues I'm having?
[08:02] <s73v3r> specifically, the installer segfaulting and crashing?
[08:02] <Odd-rationale> s73v3r: you can ask your question, and if any one knows the answer, they will help :D
[08:04] <s73v3r> That's pretty much it. The installer keeps crashing or giving segfaults whenever I try to install. Sometimes I get a '/sbin/modprobe abnormal exit' error, sometimes I get 'Recursive fault fixed, but reboot is required' and sometimes it just hangs
[08:04] <s73v3r> I've burned several different cds, both the desktop, the alternate, and the netboot iso
[08:05] <Odd-rationale> s73v3r: did you check the md5sum of the iso?
[08:05] <s73v3r> they all checked out
[08:05] <Odd-rationale> s73v3r: how about the check disk integrity from the boot menu?
[08:06] <s73v3r> most of the time that checks out too, but sometimes the installer crashes while trying to run the check
[08:11] <s73v3r> I just finished burning another CD, and am running the check on it now
[08:30] <Odd-rationale> i gtg to bed. bye all!
[08:34] <favro> bye Odd-rationale  :)
[09:29] <s73v3r> what should I do for an /sbin/modprobe abnormal exit error?
[09:30] <TheSheep> s73v3r: what did you do to cause it?
[09:30] <s73v3r> put the install cd in the drive and tell it to install
[09:33] <TheSheep> ah, then the usual, make sure that the cd and your download are not corrupted, check the computer's memory, check for faulty hardware
[09:34] <blackj0k3r> salve.... sto cercando di installare xubuntu su un vecchio pc ma mi simpalla al 15% dell'installazzione....cosa può essere???
[09:34] <TheSheep> you can also searhc the forums and Internet to see if there are any trouble with Linux on your specific hardware
[09:35] <TheSheep> !es | blackj0k3r
[09:35] <TheSheep> !it | blackj0k3r
[09:35] <s73v3r> the weird thing is, this very computer was running linux just about a week and a half ago
[09:36] <s73v3r> I've replaced the memory, but that's it
[09:36] <blackj0k3r> weeee... vacchetta... ciauz!!
[09:36] <TheSheep> s73v3r: run memcheck
[10:18] <JinKazama> :)
[10:18] <JinKazama> !bg
[10:19] <JinKazama> nice :)
[10:20] <favro> if you can understand it :)
[10:21] <favro> there should be something in this topic about being patient...
[10:21] <TheSheep> DON't PANIC
[10:21] <JinKazama> yes :) I understand bulgarian :)
[10:28] <favro> no-ones having a panic attack TheSheep hehe :)
[10:30] <TheSheep> favro: that was a proposition for the "being patient" text
[10:30] <favro> ohh k :)
[11:19] <OmfgItsAShark> hey anybody on at this time of night
[13:08] <jarnos> How do you play DVD by totem?
[13:09] <favro> !dvd
[13:15] <jarnos> favro: I miss xine as default totem backend (and it can be used by e.g. gxine as well).
[13:16] <favro> and there's xine-ui now too
[13:20] <jarnos> favro: It is launched by command "xine". I find it more difficult to use. How do you play DVD by it, for instance?
[13:22] <favro> jarnos: I never use dvds - apart from !dvd I know you need to install libdvdcss2
[13:23] <favro> jarnos: that is for drm dvds afaik
[13:24] <jarnos> favro: Yes, since I can play some DVDs without it.
[13:25] <favro> jarnos: then you need to enable the medibuntu repository and d/load libdvdcss2
[13:25] <favro> !medibuntu
[13:35] <jarnos> favro: but I don't see any menu item for dvd in totem or xine. But gxine has. (I don't use autoplay/automount in totem preferences)
[13:36] <favro> jarnos: I'll boot into xubuntu for a look
[13:37] <jarnos> favro: oh there is sometimes an item in totem for the drive.
[13:38] <favro> I thought I saw something about dvd menu in totem - but it has been a while
[13:41] <favro> in totems' top menu - go - has dvd menu
[13:41] <favro> jarnos: ^^
[13:43] <filipegatti> hello there! i'm using xubuntu on my laptop and i need to set up a external display, how can I do that?
[13:45] <favro> !xinerama
[13:46] <filipegatti> thank you for the infor!
[13:47] <favro> filipegatti: does the lappy have a nvidia card for graphics? 'cause there's
[13:48] <favro> !twinview
[13:48] <filipegatti> it's intel integrated
[13:48] <filipegatti> :(
[13:54] <filipegatti> i'll try rebooting to see if work... thank you :)
[14:07] <filipegatti> hello
[14:08] <filipegatti> i rebooted my laptop
[14:08] <filipegatti> now my 19` monitor is
[14:08] <filipegatti> showing the desktop ?D
[14:08] <filipegatti> in a very ugly way
[14:08] <filipegatti> i have configured it at first instance, but now its showing something like 640z400
[14:10] <favro> there is a virtual line you need in the screen section - the howto should mention it
[14:14] <filipegatti> phew
[14:14] <filipegatti> now it`s working ok, showing 1440x900 resolution
[14:14] <favro> well done :)
[14:14] <Myrtti> what was the command to regenerate the menus again?
[14:15] <filipegatti> but my laptop is showing the desktop too, and if i try to close it, the display turns off, and also my external.
[14:15] <favro> Myrtti: sudo update-menus?
[14:16] <Myrtti> bwah. Still in Finnish
[14:16] <Myrtti> oh well.
[14:16] <filipegatti> favro? any idea
[14:17] <filipegatti> damn keyboard
[14:17] <jarnos> filipegatti: I recommend xrandr over xinerama, if your graphics driver supports it.
[14:17] <filipegatti> how can i know if it supports? :P
[14:18] <jarnos> filipegatti: run xrandr
[14:19] <filipegatti> jarnos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/46866/
[14:20] <jarnos> filipegatti: I think it is supported.
[14:21] <jarnos> filipegatti: actually, I have intel integrated, too.
[14:21] <favro> filipegatti: you need your xorg.conf to default to the external then - comment the lines for he onboard display
[14:21] <filipegatti> hmm
[14:22] <filipegatti> actually, now all my computer is very strange, the audio stopped working and the video is showing light it brightness is at 99%
[14:22] <filipegatti> god, let me solve the display first :(
[14:22] <filipegatti> ok, I'll try going to xorg.conf first
[14:24] <livingdaylight1> i'm installing xubuntu ppc.... with mini iso. is system clock set to UTC?
[14:24] <favro> I set mine to local but utc is fine
[14:25] <livingdaylight1> thx
[14:25] <favro> np
[14:25] <filipegatti> ok, now I guess I need to reboot again.
[14:25] <favro> filipegatti: logout will do
[14:26] <filipegatti> it will? i tried last time and nothing happened, i'll logout again
[14:34] <filipegatti> well, it didnt work
[14:34] <filipegatti> i found a way to make it, but it's too lame
[14:35] <filipegatti> when it's booting, if i close my note, the external still displays and then it's ok
[14:35] <filipegatti> but I really want things working when they have to be
[14:35] <filipegatti> the way*
[14:38] <jarnos> filipegatti: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" and log out and back.
[14:38] <favro> I haven't tryed using two monitors - maybe someone else can chime in with some support...
[14:39] <filipegatti> favro, thanks anyway, you helped a lot :)
[14:39] <filipegatti> jarnos, lets try!
[14:39] <jarnos> filipegatti: what is yours Xubuntu version?
[14:40] <filipegatti> its a very fresh install of 8.04
[14:40] <jarnos> filipegatti: good.
[14:40] <filipegatti> logging out ;)
[14:41] <jarnos> What's wrong with ubuntuforums.org?
[14:41] <favro> it's been down for a while
[14:42] <filipegatti> jarnos, did it, but nothing changed after all
[14:42] <jarnos> filipegatti: can you tell again what is wrong? no sound..
[14:43] <filipegatti> sound is nothing, i can fix it later
[14:43] <filipegatti> my problem is with external display
[14:44] <filipegatti> i'm using xubuntu 8.04 on my laptop, and i want to configure my 19" display on it.
[14:44] <filipegatti> after some help, my external display is already showing the desktop and on the right resolution
[14:45] <filipegatti> but my laptop is showing the desktop too (i wanted it to be turned off and only be turned on when i open it)
[14:45] <filipegatti> and if i try to close it, all the displays turn off
[14:46] <filipegatti> that's my problem
[14:47] <jarnos> filipegatti: try grandr
[14:48] <filipegatti> installing...
[14:49] <filipegatti> perfect.
[14:49] <filipegatti> thank you jarnos
[14:49] <filipegatti> ah
[14:50] <filipegatti> not so perfect, i can't close the notebook yet, even if its display is off
[14:53] <jarnos> filipegatti: I don't know about that, but one thing you may have to set is virtual line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/146859
[14:54] <jarnos> filipegatti: my laptoi is configured to suspend, if I close the lid.
[14:55] <filipegatti> xubuntu lacks of laptop gui configuration
[14:56] <jarnos> filipegatti: what do you mean?
[14:56] <filipegatti> when i tried linux mint, it offered a lot of options for my notebook in a easy and graphically way, by default
[14:57] <filipegatti> it was only a point, not a problem at all
[14:58] <filipegatti> i know that what i want to do is possible with this graphic card and display because i did it before, i only need to search more on how to do it with xubuntu :)
[15:02] <jarnos> filipegatti: look for settigns manager > screensaver >  power management. There you can configure what happens when you close the lid.
[15:05] <jarnos> filipegatti: I agree that xrandr is not properly presented in 8.04.
[15:07] <filipegatti> haha, i searched a lot for this power management option, i would never guess it was on screensaver{?} section
[15:07] <filipegatti> no the lid problem is fixed
[15:07] <filipegatti> well, i guess now i can use it properly at least
[15:08] <filipegatti> thanks jarnos :)
[15:08] <filipegatti> now i'll fix the other stuff
[15:09] <jarnos> filipegatti: I am not sure, if your xrandr configuration survives a logout.
[15:11] <filipegatti> hmm, i think i'll never logout in my life then
[15:11] <jarnos> filipegatti: or you setup a startup script that will do the configuration each time.
[15:12] <filipegatti> thats an option
[15:13] <jarnos> filipegatti: but for it you have to use xrandr from command line.
[15:15] <filipegatti> i'm finishin a download and then I'll try one logout
[15:15] <filipegatti> and then one reboot to be sure
[15:22] <livingdaylight1> guys, i'm on a xubuntu net install; but it appears stuck
[15:23] <livingdaylight1> i got as far as being asked if i wanted stuff installed and all i selected was xubuntu desktop and its been hanging at 6% ever since
[15:23] <livingdaylight1> is it normal?
[15:26] <jarnos> livingdaylight1: Xubuntu install is slow.
[15:26] <jarnos> livingdaylight1: too slow.
[15:27] <livingdaylight1> jarnos: yikes
[15:28] <jarnos> livingdaylight1: how fast computer and how long it has been in 6%
[15:29] <livingdaylight1> jarnos: iBook 640 ram 500MHz and its been hanging at 6% for about 1/2 hr
[15:29] <livingdaylight1> jarnos: its jjust started moving again :p
[15:30] <jarnos> livingdaylight1: It was just teasing you.
[15:30] <livingdaylight1> jarnos: hehe
[15:31] <livingdaylight1> jarnos: that really tested my faith
[15:32] <livingdaylight1> by the way... is there not a 8.04 ppc release? i've got 7.10 here and was told that if i wanted a recent release i should go for debianppc (etch/lenny)
[15:32] <jarnos> livingdaylight1: I hope the iBook is not running by battery power.
[15:33] <livingdaylight1> jarnos: of course not ;
[15:33] <livingdaylight1> ;)
[15:42] <jarnos> Can you use gnome-randr-applet in Xubuntu?
[15:43] <TheSheep> if your card supports randr extensions
[15:43] <jarnos> TheSheep: extensions?
[15:44] <jarnos> TheSheep: I can use xrandr.
[15:44] <TheSheep> not all card drivers support randr
[15:44] <TheSheep> ah, ok
[15:44] <TheSheep> then it should work
[15:45] <jarnos> TheSheep: How do you add it to your xfce panel?
[15:45] <TheSheep> you need to have xfapplet installed
[15:46] <TheSheep> then you add xfapplet to your panel, and select any gnome applet you need
[16:06] <jarnos> TheSheep: thanks, the applet is not usable for dual-screen yet.
[16:23] <livingdaylight1> crap.... did a net install of xubuntu ppc 2hrs later, after its 'done' it asks to reboot but seems to hang on bootup
[16:26] <TheSheep> is ppc version even still supported?
[16:26] <livingdaylight1> i end up with a black screen
[16:26] <livingdaylight1> (initramfs) and a flashing cursor
[16:26] <livingdaylight1> TheSheep: i dunno. its the link i was given
[16:27] <livingdaylight1> it was a mini.iso of xubuntu 7.10
[16:27] <TheSheep> livingdaylight1: does the ppc version use grub or something?
[16:27] <livingdaylight1> something else i dunno what.
[16:27] <TheSheep> livingdaylight1: if so, try pressing esc on boot, pressing 'e' at the first entry and trying some of the boot options
[16:28] <TheSheep> !boot
[16:28] <livingdaylight1> TheSheep: ?
[16:29] <livingdaylight1> i installed the xubuntu and xubuntu splash screen comes up on reboot but then hangs
[16:30] <TheSheep> livingdaylight1: to get to boot options, you have to press esc before the splash screen appears
[16:30] <TheSheep> livingdaylight1: there is a lso a recovery mode there, which might work -- it's always some more information
[16:31] <TheSheep> livingdaylight1: "it hangs" is not really enough to tell anything
[17:27] <njsg> Is this expected or is it a misconfiguration?: http://shipit.xubuntu.com
[17:31] <cageman> yo can anyone recommend me a good alternative to the default 'movie player'? i need a small and simple player as media player classic is for windows
[17:35] <dtolj> how to enable xfwm transparency?
[17:38] <David-A> cageman: "movie player" is actually called "totem". of the ones I know (vlc, xine, mplayer,totem) I think totem is "simple", thou not the most "small".
[18:30] <jarnos> cageman: gxine
[18:33] <jarnos> cageman: gxine is best for DVD playback. VLC has nice hierarchical playlist and can play some formats by different speeds.
[18:34] <GourdCaptain> I have a HP Deskjet 5150 being shared from a Windows Vista machine on my network. How do I connect to it? (It's password protected.)
[19:12] <cageman> jarnos, hmm, i don't know why, but my totem is running ok video-files that use matroska, now gxine, mplayer, smplayer, they all are running in a poor way
[19:12] <cageman> matroska is files with .mkv extension
[19:19] <favro>  !cups > GourdCaptain
[20:11] <livingdaylight1> guys; in xubuntu do you do sudo gedit to write and edit config files?
[20:11] <Myrtti> gksudo mousepad
[20:14] <livingdaylight1> gksudo mousepad <path.of.config.file> ?
[20:16] <Myrtti> yup
[20:33] <livingdaylight1> when i double click on a music file shouldn't Totem just come up?
[20:33] <livingdaylight1> it spins a little as if something is happening and then just stops
[20:34] <livingdaylight1> that means i have to right-click and then 'open with' in order to get app up to play the file
[20:53] <Ben_cs> hello
[20:55] <Ben_cs> In windows movies not in best quality are shown lright, while in xubuntu they're very pixelated. Seems windows is able to smudge the pixels into a watchable (even good quality) videos. I have an intel 950 card. Any way to make xubuntu do the same trick?
[21:12] <bytor4232> Is there a version of VNC I can install and I can bring up my desktop remotely?
[21:12] <bytor4232> never mind
[21:36] <GourdCaptain> Err, does anyone know how to network print TO a vista machine. Printer is hooked up to the vista machine, and requires a username and password. Someone /msg'd me how to print to a linux box FROM windows.
[21:39]  * GourdCaptain is pretty glad UMDGen runs on Wine.
