[04:09] not as far as i now [04:11] 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] we are talking about places in the top panel? [04:11] yes [04:11] 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] figured so - just waiting for virtualbox to boot my xubuntu guest... [04:12] any mounts from samba or nfs? [04:13] im a relative newbie [04:13] hehe - that's fine :) everyone starts out that way [04:14] i have picked up a bit but not to much [04:16] if you right click your home folder in places what does it say? [04:16] your home folder = your login name [04:16] it doesnt say anything it makes the lil icon that its working and then just stops [04:20] ok - can you open a terminal? - type thunar / and hit enter [04:21] thunar/ gives a no such file [04:21] thunar / - there's a space before the / [04:22] ok it has given a fresh line no words [04:23] are you using xubuntu? [04:23] yes xubuntu hardy [04:24] ok then... - in terminal type sudo apt-get install thunar [04:25] thunar is already the newest version [04:25] again in terminal which thunar [04:27] it just gives usr / bin / thunar [04:27] so it should :) [04:28] perfect ;) [04:28] I don't know why the file manager thunar won't start from command line - does thunar in terminal do anything? [04:29] thunar in terminal just brings a blank line [04:30] my next suggestion would be to remove reinstall the file manager [04:30] sudo apt-get --purge remove thunar [04:30] wait [04:31] before you do that... [04:31] im still here [04:31] can i try something? [04:31] watch to see if anything else will be removed [04:31] sure [04:31] ok. hold on... [04:31] Odd-rationale: :) [04:32] shane_: try this command in a terminal: rm -rf ~/.config/Thunar [04:32] the only time i use thunar is gksu thunar to unlock locked files [04:33] shane_: tell me when you ahve run the above command... [04:33] it doesnt seem to do a thing fresh shane @ line [04:34] shane_: ok good. now do: thunar [04:34] it just goes blank line now [04:34] shane_: does thunar open anywhere? [04:35] no and if i use thunar file manager nothing opens either [04:35] does mousepad open from terminal? [04:35] yes i get a untitled [04:36] shane_: when did this start happening?

[06:02] hehe [06:02] 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] night :) [06:38] Hey all. [06:38] Is this the room for server help? [06:40] !server | prexium01 [06:40] prexium01: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support [06:40] Ok, ty ;) [06:40] np === favafro is now known as favro [08:01] Hi. Can someone help me with some install issues I'm having? [08:02] specifically, the installer segfaulting and crashing? [08:02] s73v3r: you can ask your question, and if any one knows the answer, they will help :D [08:04] 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] I've burned several different cds, both the desktop, the alternate, and the netboot iso [08:05] s73v3r: did you check the md5sum of the iso? [08:05] they all checked out [08:05] s73v3r: how about the check disk integrity from the boot menu? [08:06] most of the time that checks out too, but sometimes the installer crashes while trying to run the check [08:11] I just finished burning another CD, and am running the check on it now [08:30] i gtg to bed. bye all! [08:34] bye Odd-rationale :) [09:29] what should I do for an /sbin/modprobe abnormal exit error? [09:30] s73v3r: what did you do to cause it? [09:30] put the install cd in the drive and tell it to install [09:33] 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] salve.... sto cercando di installare xubuntu su un vecchio pc ma mi simpalla al 15% dell'installazzione....cosa può essere??? [09:34] you can also searhc the forums and Internet to see if there are any trouble with Linux on your specific hardware [09:35] !es | blackj0k3r [09:35] blackj0k3r: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[10:21] DON't PANIC [10:21] yes :) I understand bulgarian :) [10:28] no-ones having a panic attack TheSheep hehe :) [10:30] favro: that was a proposition for the "being patient" text [10:30] ohh k :) === gnomefreak is now known as thunderstruck === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak [11:19] hey anybody on at this time of night [13:08] How do you play DVD by totem? [13:09] !dvd [13:09] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [13:15] favro: I miss xine as default totem backend (and it can be used by e.g. gxine as well). [13:16] and there's xine-ui now too [13:20] 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] jarnos: I never use dvds - apart from !dvd I know you need to install libdvdcss2 [13:23] jarnos: that is for drm dvds afaik [13:24] favro: Yes, since I can play some DVDs without it. [13:25] jarnos: then you need to enable the medibuntu repository and d/load libdvdcss2 [13:25] !medibuntu [13:25] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [13:35] 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] jarnos: I'll boot into xubuntu for a look [13:37] favro: oh there is sometimes an item in totem for the drive. [13:38] I thought I saw something about dvd menu in totem - but it has been a while [13:41] in totems' top menu - go - has dvd menu [13:41] jarnos: ^^ [13:43] 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] !xinerama [13:45] xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [13:46] thank you for the infor! [13:47] filipegatti: does the lappy have a nvidia card for graphics? 'cause there's [13:48] !twinview [13:48] twinview is a feature provided by nvidia cards, which can be configured with nvidia-settings [13:48] it's intel integrated [13:48] :( [13:54] i'll try rebooting to see if work... thank you :) [14:07] hello [14:08] i rebooted my laptop [14:08] now my 19` monitor is [14:08] showing the desktop ?D [14:08] in a very ugly way [14:08] i have configured it at first instance, but now its showing something like 640z400 [14:10] there is a virtual line you need in the screen section - the howto should mention it [14:14] phew [14:14] now it`s working ok, showing 1440x900 resolution [14:14] well done :) [14:14] what was the command to regenerate the menus again? [14:15] 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] Myrtti: sudo update-menus? [14:16] bwah. Still in Finnish [14:16] oh well. [14:16] favro? any idea [14:17] damn keyboard [14:17] filipegatti: I recommend xrandr over xinerama, if your graphics driver supports it. [14:17] how can i know if it supports? :P [14:18] filipegatti: run xrandr [14:19] jarnos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/46866/ [14:20] filipegatti: I think it is supported. [14:21] filipegatti: actually, I have intel integrated, too. [14:21] filipegatti: you need your xorg.conf to default to the external then - comment the lines for he onboard display [14:21] hmm [14:22] 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] god, let me solve the display first :( [14:22] ok, I'll try going to xorg.conf first [14:24] i'm installing xubuntu ppc.... with mini iso. is system clock set to UTC? [14:24] I set mine to local but utc is fine [14:25] thx [14:25] np [14:25] ok, now I guess I need to reboot again. [14:25] filipegatti: logout will do [14:26] it will? i tried last time and nothing happened, i'll logout again [14:34] well, it didnt work [14:34] i found a way to make it, but it's too lame [14:35] when it's booting, if i close my note, the external still displays and then it's ok [14:35] but I really want things working when they have to be [14:35] the way* [14:38] filipegatti: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" and log out and back. [14:38] I haven't tryed using two monitors - maybe someone else can chime in with some support... [14:39] favro, thanks anyway, you helped a lot :) [14:39] jarnos, lets try! [14:39] filipegatti: what is yours Xubuntu version? [14:40] its a very fresh install of 8.04 [14:40] filipegatti: good. [14:40] logging out ;) [14:41] What's wrong with ubuntuforums.org? [14:41] it's been down for a while [14:42] jarnos, did it, but nothing changed after all [14:42] filipegatti: can you tell again what is wrong? no sound.. [14:43] sound is nothing, i can fix it later [14:43] my problem is with external display [14:44] i'm using xubuntu 8.04 on my laptop, and i want to configure my 19" display on it. [14:44] after some help, my external display is already showing the desktop and on the right resolution [14:45] 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] and if i try to close it, all the displays turn off [14:46] that's my problem [14:47] filipegatti: try grandr [14:48] installing... [14:49] perfect. [14:49] thank you jarnos [14:49] ah [14:50] not so perfect, i can't close the notebook yet, even if its display is off [14:53] 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 [14:53] Launchpad bug 146859 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "No dri for virtual screen greater than 2048x2048" [High,In progress] [14:54] filipegatti: my laptoi is configured to suspend, if I close the lid. [14:55] xubuntu lacks of laptop gui configuration [14:56] filipegatti: what do you mean? [14:56] when i tried linux mint, it offered a lot of options for my notebook in a easy and graphically way, by default [14:57] it was only a point, not a problem at all [14:58] 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] filipegatti: look for settigns manager > screensaver > power management. There you can configure what happens when you close the lid. [15:05] filipegatti: I agree that xrandr is not properly presented in 8.04. [15:07] haha, i searched a lot for this power management option, i would never guess it was on screensaver{?} section [15:07] no the lid problem is fixed [15:07] well, i guess now i can use it properly at least [15:08] thanks jarnos :) [15:08] now i'll fix the other stuff [15:09] filipegatti: I am not sure, if your xrandr configuration survives a logout. [15:11] hmm, i think i'll never logout in my life then [15:11] filipegatti: or you setup a startup script that will do the configuration each time. [15:12] thats an option [15:13] filipegatti: but for it you have to use xrandr from command line. [15:15] i'm finishin a download and then I'll try one logout [15:15] and then one reboot to be sure [15:22] guys, i'm on a xubuntu net install; but it appears stuck [15:23] 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] is it normal? [15:26] livingdaylight1: Xubuntu install is slow. [15:26] livingdaylight1: too slow. [15:27] jarnos: yikes [15:28] livingdaylight1: how fast computer and how long it has been in 6% [15:29] jarnos: iBook 640 ram 500MHz and its been hanging at 6% for about 1/2 hr [15:29] jarnos: its jjust started moving again :p [15:30] livingdaylight1: It was just teasing you. [15:30] jarnos: hehe [15:31] jarnos: that really tested my faith [15:32] 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] livingdaylight1: I hope the iBook is not running by battery power. [15:33] jarnos: of course not ; [15:33] ;) [15:42] Can you use gnome-randr-applet in Xubuntu? [15:43] if your card supports randr extensions [15:43] TheSheep: extensions? [15:44] TheSheep: I can use xrandr. [15:44] not all card drivers support randr [15:44] ah, ok [15:44] then it should work [15:45] TheSheep: How do you add it to your xfce panel? [15:45] you need to have xfapplet installed [15:46] then you add xfapplet to your panel, and select any gnome applet you need [16:06] TheSheep: thanks, the applet is not usable for dual-screen yet. [16:23] 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] is ppc version even still supported? [16:26] i end up with a black screen [16:26] (initramfs) and a flashing cursor [16:26]
