I wiped the drive, installed linux on the whole drive and it wont connect [01:48] I can has halpz? [02:29] hello [02:29] i am having a hell of a time trying to set up sound in Xubuntu [02:31] google turned up some resources on this topic, but they all seem to mention messing with "System > Preferences > Sound", and I don't even know where 'System' is (nothing appropriate in the Applications menu, or on any toolbar). [02:31] does anyone know any other good resources that might help me? [02:31] Use alsamixer to unmute and turn up volumes [02:32] If it is not installed, install using synaptic [02:34] thank you. i will try that [02:35] Hope it works. :-) [02:36] would it be wise to turn the volume up on all channels to 100%? [02:36] I did, then I could control it with the panel volume control. [02:37] i have no volume control on any panel. [02:38] Right click on a blank spot, Add New Item, Volume Control. It works after you set up with alsamixer [02:42] thank you again : ) [02:45] it all works! wonderful! [02:45] thank you! and good night [03:16] pleia2: Now I know :) [03:16] :) [04:13] the xubuntu live cd saw my wireless network...installed to hard drive and now it doesnt see it...whats up? === ronn_o is now known as ron_o [04:51] hello everyone [04:51] I have ubuntu with gnome by default [04:52] and I installed kde by typing kde-core in the terminal [04:52] what I have to type for download the Xfce's core [04:52] ?? [04:53] now, I'm downloading the Xfce, by the command apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [04:53] been kinda quiet in here edgar [04:54] yes I have noticed it [04:54] ive been out of loop too long to help, im stuck with a wifi problem, xubuntu live cd boot should wireless, after install to hard drive no wireless...pain in the router [04:54] showed that is, not should [04:55] it seems that there is no community support at these hours [04:56] u trying to downgrade xubuntu to something lighter? [04:56] downgrade isn right word [04:56] I'm not downgrading [04:57] I'm just want to download the core to test it [04:57] i c [04:57] for download the kde core I just type kde-core [04:57] cant u find xfce in symantic [04:58] mmmm it should, I just wanted to type the command [04:59] anyway, I don't find it in symantic [05:00] trying to think [05:00] im in xp atm [05:00] hehe [05:00] ok, yea, sometimes I need to use xp too [05:00] sudo apt-cache search xfce [05:02] should list packages with xfce in it [05:02] ok [05:02] i think hehe [05:02] i dont think xubuntu is gonna do it for me on target box, its OLD [05:03] well that should work, but it's ok now I have already downloaded the xubuntu-desktop [05:03] but im trying to revive its ANCIENT tv tuner card, no luck in other distro's, but xubuntu is gonna be too slow, back to puppy, tinyme or zenwalk [05:03] so you don't like the xubuntu? [05:03] its ok, i just have a realy old box [05:03] not up to it [05:06] the biggest plus on all ubuntu flavors is the repository, best selection of stuff, best dependancy checking [05:07] i once installed ubuntu as a text/console only and tried icewm fluxbox xfce rox-filer anb ran fast on old box, just too hard to configure [05:10] xfce looks like a copy of gnome [05:11] it's almost the same but...gnome it's kinda of superior [05:11] its much faster, gnome has alot more guts to it [05:12] realy its the panels that make it loot the same [05:12] look [05:12] well yes it's faster but gnome looks better I mean smoother [05:12] gnome has more shading and transparecy stuff [05:13] yes, that's what I mean [05:13] i like the xfce file manager over thunar or whatever its called nowadays, its like explore in xp sorta [05:14] what advantages has xfce over gnome? besides the performance [05:15] performance [05:15] about it [05:16] something else? [05:16] xfce might be easier to tweak [05:16] customize i mean, but u got a learning curve [05:17] right click menus are more customizable in xfce if i remember correctly [05:19] so for you, which is better for u gnome or xfce? [05:19] gnome if i got horsepower, xfce on slower box [05:19] ok [05:19] do u like the kde? [05:20] abit better at performance than gnome, some nice apps forit [05:20] gnome is used more thus there is alot of infor availble for it, lots of ppl banging on it [05:20] ok [05:21] if performance isnt an isssue gnome is fine, if performace is an isssue, fluxbox, icewm, rox-filer, jwm or some combination there of [05:23] ok [05:28] well, it's cool that xfce have a theme similar to the gnome human theme [05:39] it seems that xfce is kinda of abandoned, becouse the last version was released in 2007 :s [05:39] :-/ [05:40] not abandoned, just slower develeopment [05:40] alot less ppl working on it [05:40] why is that? [05:40] gnome is used in oodles of distro's [05:40] more ppl in the community to work on it [05:41] ook [05:41] but the people that develop gnome or xfce, does they make money? [05:42] I mean the softwares is free [05:43] I guess that people who works in free software doesn't live of making free software [05:43] yup [05:43] though some of the distro's that use gnome do have commercial interests [05:44] even ubuntu has a commercial sponser [05:44] thus more support for gnome [05:47] with the free software, people can make money with commercial support or sponsored services [05:47] yeah [05:48] with the services can make money, but with the product can't [06:14] Everytime I open this file and edit it, then try and save, it says It can not open file to save. Why? :( === Constrabus_ is now known as Constrabus [06:34] dnyy, what file is it? [06:35] .conkyForecast [06:35] I opened it through sudo thunar and it worked, though. [06:35] It lets me edit other hidden files, so I have no idea why it wouldn't on that one. :/ [06:36] i suppose it has such permissions you can edit it only with root/sudo [06:36] dnyy: Perhaps you don't have rights to edit the file because it owned by seomeone else [06:37] Err, yeah. For some reason it's owned by root. [06:37] Didn't think to check that, sorry. ;o [07:33] is there a way to configure the options for a particular screensaver in intrepid? [07:44] I think I am having a problem with permissions, I have a minimal install with idesk as my desktop manager, unless I run it as root, it crashes every time I try to move an Icon, my icon files as well as their related files (.png's etc) are all within my personal home folder, any ideas? [07:55] hmm anybody know how to tell wine to open a command prompt and then run a program within that command prompt? [08:02] wine command.com? [09:00] anybody know where swiftfox keeps it's bookmarks etc for each user? [12:17] we have a ltsp enviroment, and the ltsp servers(xubuntu) authenticates with M$ AD. we would like to get USB drives to work for the clients.. It used to work on both servers.. now, this has stopped working on 1 of the servers..prolly after a update.. thing is.. we dont really remember how we got it to work the first time around.. So what config files are involved here? [12:55] hello [12:55] i have a problem [12:55] i'm running xubuntu 8.10 on a hp omnibook 6100 [12:56] but it does not mount my floppy disk [12:56] can i do it manually? [13:02] sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy/ -t vfat [13:02] mount: special device /dev/fd0 does not exist [13:02] and [13:03] $ sudo mount /dev/fd/0 /media/floppy/ -t vfat [13:03] mount: /dev/pts/0 is not a block device [13:03] ??? [13:03] emkeyen: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy [13:04] j_xinudsb: doesnt work. see error message above. [13:06] when i hot swap to cdrom it works [13:07] emkeyen, what exactly are you trying to do? [13:07] emkeyen: yeah ubuntu does not set /dev/fd0 as a automuntable device so it must be u-mounted before removing [13:08] aha [13:10] emkeyen: try /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 in your fstab [13:11] note auto [13:14] mount /dev/fd0 [13:14] mount: special device /dev/fd0 does not exist [13:15] emkeyen, is this a usb floppy, or a standard floppy? [13:15] hotswappable standard floppy on laptop [13:16] emkeyen, then it will not mount as /dev/fd0 [13:17] check your thunar under /dev/ to see what devises are listed [13:17] ie what is the cdrom mounted as? [13:17] when i look at fstab i see cdrom listed as /dev/scd0 [13:18] emkeyen, then when you hotswap the floppy, see if you can mount /dev/scd0 as /media/floppy [13:19] you might also try scd1 [13:20] hmm. weird. now i have no /dev/scd0 [13:20] the devices listed in thunar with an "X" icon are devices not connected..... [13:21] items with no "X" icon are found devices [13:21] or create a floppy device in dev/ to point to the cd drive as ln -s scd0 floppy0 [13:22] ln -s scd0 fd0 [13:23] emkeyen, when you boot with the floppy in, your bios does detect it....right? [13:23] yes [13:23] it tries to boot from floppy [13:23] try booting with the floppy device in, and review the list of devices in /dev [13:24] ok [13:24] now it does not mount cdrom any more either [13:24] this will let you know what linux is seeing the device as [13:24] ok [13:24] thanks [13:24] i'll try and bbl [13:24] do you still have that /dev/fd0 in your fstab? [13:25] commented it out. should i have it? [13:50] ahh yes otherwise ubuntu does not know how to and where to mount fd0 [14:09] Howdy all, is there anything that the alternate xubuntu install CD has that recommends it over the standard liv/install CD? [14:11] smaller footprint [14:12] Don't suppose it has a utility to resize windows partitions on it? [14:13] RurouniJones, of course it does [14:15] On the live CD as well as the alternate? [14:15] Non-destructively resize windows partitions that is ;) [14:18] use Debian if you need a smaller footprint [14:19] and just dont install [14:19] footprint isn't that important. lightweight GUI is the main one [14:19] This is going to be a Granny OS installation [14:20] i use dream linux for small gui footprint [14:21] it is based on Debian too [14:22] but i think xubuntu is light enough for most cases [14:58] Hello [14:59] I have been trying to figure out how to run the LiveUSB system creator from an ISO of xubuntu alt ISO [14:59] jsut can't figure it out, and i've been googling all night [19:10] Hello there. === JL__ is now known as JL [19:42] hey I was wondering can I make a liveCD of my current setup? [19:49] does anyone know a bluetooth applet for the XFCE panels? [19:52] NDS you are trying to connnect a bluetooth headset to your computer? [19:52] well, yes. among other things [19:53] not that I can help. I am just trying to figure out what you are doing [19:53] i just need an applet like the one available for GNOME, i find it to be the easiest to add new devices and browse files on my phone. [20:02] How do I install xubuntu in text mode? I have the regular and the alternate 8.10 cd. Plus graphic driver issue. [20:04] I've figured out. I didn't know it was text only... [20:30] Anyone know how I can get my current setup (I just installed like 5 things and custom scripts/programs) as a live CD? [20:37] sorry? [20:37] what do you mean get your current setup? [20:37] i suppose he means a custom cd [20:38] Well I just installed Xubuntu, and I've installed like 5 applications and a few of my custom scripts/programs. now I was wondering if I can turn that into a livecd [20:38] you know like knoppix, slax, unbuntu, [20:39] the procedure for ubuntu should be the same for xubuntu [20:40] anywho, you might want to look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch [21:23] how do i acces autostarted programs in xfce? [21:25] how do i make k3b burn mp3 files [21:28] Kudi: do you have the mp3 codecs installed? [21:28] yah i can play mp3 fine [21:29] oh. lol well it was a shot in the dark. i'm not sure then [21:29] haha k thanks [21:39] Is there a good subversion client for xubuntu 8.04? [21:46] Hmm, how do I set the initial boot resolution in xfce? [21:47] For some reason, it keeps defaulting to either 640x480 or 800x600, and doesn't even show the 1024x768 resolution. [21:47] I can set it just fine with xrandr though : [21:47] :/ [22:02] how do i install a persistent cpy of xubuntu on a usb drive [22:03] *copy === leche_y_galletas is now known as leche [22:34] EVERYONE: Shout out your most wanted features in Xubuntu!! :D [22:36] :) [22:40] better documentation [22:40] and a good user forum [22:50] Shaba1, we have ubuntuforums.com [22:50] * http://ubuntuforums.org/ [22:51] that is for ubuntu [22:51] not xubuntu [22:51] No [22:51] It is for both [22:52] My point is that there is enough difference that there needs to be a specific forum for xubuntu [22:53] No, no there doesn't [22:53] ok your opinion cody-somerville [22:53] sheesh [22:53] There is only like 66 packages different between Ubuntu and Xubuntu [22:54] the whole interface is differnt [22:54] you go into the ubuntu room and ask about something [22:54] and someone tells you to click here and choose this menu item [22:54] Sure [22:54] Shaba1, ok so you're talking about bad *xfce* documentation [22:54] well that does not exist in xubuntu and you are totally lost [22:54] but we don't need a separate forums [22:55] just separate space on the forum [22:55] and that exists [23:00] xfce4.6! [23:03] :D [23:05] network (samba) browsing in thunar! [23:19] that would have been nice in my former job [23:20] but now that I am only on my 2 computer home network its not a necessary thing [23:47] xfce 4.6 add in 8.10? [23:49] Xfce 4.6 will be in the next release, yup [23:50] :-D [23:57] yes.
