[04:08] Does anyone here know what to do with a " .run" file? [04:09] it's probably a shell script [04:09] pass it to `file' [04:13] Yep. [04:13] How do I run these? [04:15] "bash" seems to works. [05:41] anyone around that could lend an ear? i need a bit of help [05:44] :O [05:45] i've got a problem with openssh, it can't seem to find the keys when i run it [05:45] hello omnikill [05:45] hello [05:46] i checked /etc/ssh/sshd_config and is directs them to /etc/ssh for the keys [05:47] but it always gives me [05:47] Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key [05:47] Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key [05:47] anyone have any ideas? [06:27] How can I browse my local network? Is there an smb client gui included?

[12:35] !ask [12:35] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:36] people are awake, but mostly like to answer questions when they know what the question is :) [12:36] k [12:38] is there anyway i can change my hostmask on konversation? === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [14:30] hello [15:42] Is there a keybinding to switch quickly window of an application? Like Alt-Tab, but for windows of current application. [16:09] jarnos, ctrl+tab? [16:10] bad-wire: doesn't work here. [16:11] ah well sorry, no idea then, maybe someone who knows will come [16:37] is open office a heavy program [16:37] I noticed that it is not installed in xubuntu [16:37] fairly so [16:38] Is that why it was not installed or used by default for xubuntu [16:38] yotux: It takes a lot of memory to run smoothly [16:38] ok [16:38] I like xubuntu the most seems that fastest to me [16:39] We use AbiWord and Gnumeric because they are lightweight compared to OpenOffice.org [16:42] they do the same for the most part [16:43] yes, but memory and cpu can be smaller [16:44] the only thing that I have problems with is crossover office [16:44] and they do not support XFCE with an automatic menu [16:45] I see. Menu issues are being worked on by Xfce. [17:38] when i right-click on the menu button from the panel and click on edit menu, i don't get all the menu items, how could i edit the whole menu? where is the menu file located? [17:40] jxander: they're pulled in by the "systems" menu item [17:43] rhavenn: maybe i'm too tired, but i did't understand what you said... where is the systems menu item? i still don't know how to edit the entire menu :( [17:46] jxander: You can add to System menu by adding a submenu named System and then adding an item there. [17:47] jxander: Not very elegant, though. [17:48] but how do i add an item to multimedia? [17:50] jxander: http://wiki.xfce.org/tips#how_to_add_or_remove_applications_in_the_system_menu [17:51] i think they are working on a better menu editor for xfce 4.6 ... [18:02] jxander: Make submenu called Multimedia and add an item to it. [18:02] jarnos: will it appear in Multimedia with the rest of the items? [18:03] jxander: yes. [18:03] jarnos: thanks a lot, trying right now :D [18:11] jarnos: it did the trick, a bit uglier than gnome, but works... thanks! [18:15] jxander: good :) I have not tried the gnome way. I hope Xfce people get a better way to edit menu. [18:16] are you using gnome? [18:21] How do you lock the screen in xubuntu? [18:23] you can add a item to bar to lock the screen [18:24] do an 'add new item' > 'action item' choose 'lock screen' from the drop down [18:24] hi all === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache [18:27] fbc: ctrl-alt-del [18:27] fbc: or run command xflock4 [18:29] awesome [18:29] jarnos, thanks [18:33] hi. My desktop dissapeared. At least my wallpaper and my docs are gone, just a light blue background is to see. How can I fix this? [18:33] nclife: try pressing alt-f2 and run 'xfwm4' [18:34] actually, you may need to run xfdesktop [18:35] zoredache, I type xfwm4 or xfdesktop inside a terminal? [18:35] ah, oh [18:35] gotcha [18:35] yes, you can run those in a terminal [18:35] okie, gonna try that [18:35] do I have to close everything before to do that? [18:37] nice, thank you :) [18:40] another quick question, I've noted my computer slowing down for the past few days. Is there some way to repair probable broken packages or anything that could ease the processing? [18:43] hello [18:45] wheres vinnl [18:47] hello [18:48] anyone available to field an easy question?

[23:23] why in my /media I have mounting points with ~? I.e. /cdrom0 AND ~cdrom. Can I delete it? [23:27] retour: With ~? [23:28] retour: no need to delete cdrom items. [23:28] jarnos: ~cdrom and again /cdrom0. Why? can I delete both and make my own mount point /DVD-ROM [23:29] retour: cdrom is symlink to the other [23:30] retour: and /cdrom is symlink to /media/cdrom [23:30] jarnos: OK do I need it? Is it generate automatically? Can I create own mount point and delete default ones? [23:31] retour: I don't know. Maybe the default ones are used by some applications. [23:33] retour: Why don't you create another symlink named DVD-ROM (if you really need that)? === MrNaz is now known as MrHajji === MrHajji is now known as MrNaz [23:43] jarnos: I like my drive to show its type when mounted on the desktop DVD-RW and second one DVD-RAM - type of drive not media in it. BTW how to create symlink? I tried to see its contents but its empty [23:53] retour: Open terminal, "cd /media", "sudo ln -s cdrom0 DVD-RW " [23:55] retour: in case you want to create link DVD-RW for cdrom0 [23:56] thank you! [23:56] retour: but it doesn't change the way the drive shows up in Thunar. [23:56] hmmm [23:58] I deleted defaults and made my own mounting points. Everything works BUT after inserting media I get " mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only [23:58] mount: /dev/scd0 already mounted or /media/DVD-ROM busy [23:58] mount: according to mtab, /dev/scd0 is already mounted on /media/DVD-ROM.
