| pkodon | Okay, I have this little 6G drive I want to put some sstuff I downloaded on, so I can put it in my Win98SE machine and have the stuff available to Windows on that machine. I created a FAT32 partition using the entire disk space. I created a /media/PC1 directory as a mountpoint for it, but when I go into a root shell and try to mount it, using "mount -t fat32 /dev/sdc1 /media/PC1", I'm told there's no such file system as "fat32". | 04:35 |
| pkodon | Anyone know what's going on there? | 04:38 |

| tajlero | hello | 05:32 |
| tajlero | how can I use wine with root without changing it to root priviages cause in order to install portable apps with wine on my usb key I have to use root access in order to do it or I get an error | 05:33 |
| tajlero | it says wine is not owned by me | 05:33 |
| tajlero | I know how to change ownership | 05:33 |
| tajlero | so that it is owned by root | 05:34 |
| tajlero | but I do not think that is very safe to do | 05:34 |
| tajlero | so you any of you guys have an idea of what I could do? | 05:34 |
| source | tajlero, sudo wine | 05:53 |
| tajlero | that is what I do source | 05:59 |
| tajlero | it tells me that I can not because it is not owned by me | 05:59 |
| source | tajlero, sudo su | 06:13 |
| source | then | 06:13 |
| source | wine | 06:13 |
| source | or | 06:14 |
| source | gksu wine | 06:14 |
| tajlero | I Know source | 06:16 |
| tajlero | I used sudo and it told me I cannot because it is not owned by me | 06:16 |
| source | anythings works? | 06:16 |

| Araneidae | I've noticed that my xubuntu desktop has the really bad habit of restarting lots of programs that were running the last time I exited. Can I suppress this behaviour? | 10:08 |
| knome | !session | 10:09 |
| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 10:09 |
| knome | forget that. | 10:09 |
| knome | Araneidae, when you log out, you see a tickbox to save your session | 10:09 |
| knome | Araneidae, log out once with no programs running and that box selected | 10:09 |
| knome | Araneidae, after that, uncheck the box | 10:10 |
| Araneidae | Thanks, I'd never noticed that | 10:10 |
| Araneidae | Do you know where that information is actually stored? In a hidden file somewhere, I guess... | 10:11 |
| knome | Araneidae, i'm not sure. | 10:12 |
| Araneidae | I've got far too many . files in my root -- I've tried gnome (ubuntu), kde, and now xfce. Finding Ubuntu a bit too bloated for my taste now... can't find anything! | 10:13 |
| knome | you mean your home? | 10:13 |
| Araneidae | Yes, I mean `ls -A ~` | 10:14 |
| Araneidae | http://www.xfce.org/documentation/4.2/ looks like a good starting place, I guess | 10:14 |
| Araneidae | Are there any howtos for getting rid of all the unnecessary gnome and kde residue on my system? (I started with Ubuntu, installed kde-desktop and then xfce-desktop, now I guess I'm running a hybrid xubunut!) | 10:17 |
| knome | !purexfce | Araneidae | 10:17 |
| ubottu | Araneidae: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 10:17 |
| Araneidae | Wow! | 10:18 |

| simo_ | hello all, can any1 plz help me with xubuntu panel problem? | 14:24 |
| knome | !ask | simo_ | 14:26 |
| ubottu | simo_: 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. :-) | 14:26 |
| simo_ | sorry about that | 14:26 |
| simo_ | I tried to customize my Xubuntu panel so i tried to move around my icons, the prob is that I cannot place my icons wherever I want, they all stack up on the left side one by one | 14:27 |
| simo_ | I am quite a newb so please help me out | 14:28 |
| knome | simo_, add a new "Separator or Spacing" item to panel and select "Expand" in the opening window. you can unselect "Draw Separator" if you don't want it. | 14:30 |
| knome | simo_, after you have that, the icons can be on both sides of the separator | 14:33 |
| simo_ | knome, I think its working | 14:35 |
| simo_ | let me try it out some more and I'll let you know. | 14:35 |
| simo_ | knome, thanx a lot man it does exactly what I was looking for | 14:36 |
| simo_ | Have a great day | 14:37 |
| tajlero | respect | 15:47 |
| tajlero | your | 15:47 |
| tajlero | inna nigga | 15:47 |
| tajlero | for real | 15:47 |
| cody-somerville | tajlero, thats not appropriate | 15:51 |
| tajlero | what | 15:59 |
| tajlero | how so | 15:59 |
| tajlero | do you not respect ah brother cody-somerville ? | 15:59 |
| tajlero | are you racist ? | 15:59 |
| tajlero | is it because I am BLACK | 15:59 |
| cody-somerville | This channel is for support tajlero | 16:06 |
| tajlero | I see | 16:10 |
| tajlero | you be haten the black man | 16:10 |
| knome | tajlero, #xubuntu-offtopic for other than support discussions. | 16:10 |
| knome | tajlero, this is nothing about your race, gender or anything. | 16:10 |
| flammenwurfer | Is there a reason that "cat cpuinfo" says my cpu is running at 1000 Mhz when it's supposed to be a 2.5 Ghz cpu? | 16:39 |
| cody-somerville | flammenwurfer, is it a laptop? | 16:42 |
| cody-somerville | or dual core? | 16:42 |
| flammenwurfer | it's a desktop, yes, it's a dual core amd athlon 4850e | 16:46 |
| flammenwurfer | 2.5 Ghz dual core | 16:46 |
| flammenwurfer | when I do cat cpuinfo it says both cores are 1000 Mhz | 16:46 |
| knome | flammenwurfer, cat just prints the contents of cpuinfo. | 16:50 |
| cody-somerville | flammenwurfer, probably has to do with something regarding its energy efficiency | 16:51 |
| flammenwurfer | yeah, that makes sense | 16:51 |
| flammenwurfer | is there any other way in xubuntu that I can see more detailed info abut my processor? | 16:51 |
| cody-somerville | http://linuxshellaccount.blogspot.com/2008/11/getting-cpu-information-from-various.html | 16:53 |
| cody-somerville | You might also look at the sysstat package | 16:54 |
| cody-somerville | !sysstat | 16:54 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sysstat | 16:54 |
| cody-somerville | !info sysstat | 16:54 |

| flammenwurfer | i just installed sysinfo and it shows me some info | 16:57 |
| flammenwurfer | about the cpu and memory and mobo etc.. | 16:57 |
| flammenwurfer | So, I'm guessing it must be a setting I need to change in the BIOS | 16:58 |
| spasticteapot | I have a very strange problem: While my PC will recognize everything from my Unreal Tournament Deluxe DVD to my burned CD of Terry Pratchett PDFs, it won't mount my Ben Folds CD. | 17:07 |
| pkodon | Okay, now that I'm back online, let me try this question again. | 17:07 |
| spasticteapot | Hmm...that's odd. | 17:08 |
| spasticteapot | I can play my CD through the default XFCE music player, but I can't find it via Nautilus or import them via Rythmbox. | 17:08 |
| knome | spasticteapot, maybe it has some kind of copy protection? | 17:09 |
| pkodon | I noticed the question about "cat cpuspeed" or something like that, (if someone can tell me what it was, I'd apreciate it... | 17:09 |
| spasticteapot | It says "recorded in 1996". | 17:09 |
| spasticteapot | CD-RWs cost maybe $25. | 17:09 |
| knome | spasticteapot, that doesn't justify anything, but ok. | 17:10 |
| pkodon | Anyway, whatever it was, I tried it in a shell, and got back a response that there was no such directory as "cpu...". | 17:10 |
| spasticteapot | knome: What do you mean "That doesn't justify anything?" | 17:10 |
| spasticteapot | I paid for the CD, fair and square. | 17:10 |
| pkodon | The help in the shell for "cat" says it's for joining files. | 17:10 |
| knome | spasticteapot, well even if it was recorded in 1996, it doesn't mean it couldn't have a copy protection :) | 17:10 |
| pkodon | So, what was this person using to find out his CPU info? | 17:10 |
| spasticteapot | knome: Weird. | 17:11 |
| flammenwurfer | that was me | 17:11 |
| pkodon | flammenwurfer: Ahh, yes, now I remember the nick. | 17:11 |
| flammenwurfer | pkodon, I have an AMD 4850e that is supposed to be 2.5 Ghz but is reporting as 1000 Mhz | 17:11 |
| charlie-tca | pkodon: | !info sysstat | 17:11 |
| spasticteapot | flammenwurfer: Don't those have CPU throttling? | 17:12 |
| charlie-tca | !info sysstat | pkodon | 17:12 |

| spasticteapot | Clock speed varies with load, IIRC. | 17:12 |
| flammenwurfer | I think so, but I'm encoding a video and both cores are at 90-100% load and it's still saying 1000Mhz | 17:12 |
| pkodon | charlie-tca: Thanks. | 17:12 |
| spasticteapot | Does anyone know where Ubuntu puts CDs in the filesystem? | 17:13 |
| charlie-tca | no problem. | 17:13 |
| flammenwurfer | /dev/Scd0? | 17:13 |
| pkodon | spasticteapot: Have you looked in /media? | 17:13 |
| knome | spasticteapot, /media/cdrom is the default place. | 17:14 |
| spasticteapot | It's empty. | 17:14 |
| flammenwurfer | did you try mounting it manually? | 17:17 |
| pkodon | !info atsar | 17:20 |
| ubottu | atsar (source: atsar): system activity reporter. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7-2 (intrepid), package size 39 kB, installed size 176 kB | 17:20 |
| Kiption | it's an audio cd? | 17:20 |
| spasticteapot | Does anyone here know anything about the Listen music player? | 17:22 |
| spasticteapot | Whenever I insert a CD I can't find it in the filesystem, and Rythmbox can't find it either, but the Listen player (the default for Xubuntu) pops up and offers to play or rip it. | 17:23 |
| spasticteapot | WTF? | 17:23 |
| charlie-tca | Listen is the default player in Xubuntu | 17:23 |

| cody-somerville | spasticteapot, is that nice? :) | 17:24 |
| pkodon | spasticteapot: You can probably change which program pops up in the default programs section of the Settings Manager. | 17:26 |
| knome | my default app for audio cds is grip ;) | 17:27 |
| flammenwurfer | nope, that only gives you options to change the default browser, mail app and terminal emulator | 17:28 |
| pkodon | spasticteapot: Oops, try the Multimedia tab under removeable media in the Settings Manager. | 17:28 |
| pkodon | flammenwurfer: Yeah, I went to look, then checked the removable media section. | 17:30 |
| flammenwurfer | hey, thanks pkodon, I've been wondering where those options were | 17:30 |
| pkodon | flammenwurfer: Well, I just keep poking my nose around and eventually I find things. | 17:31 |
| knome | pkodon, nose? ouch. | 17:31 |
| knome | pkodon, and eww. ;P | 17:31 |
| pkodon | knome: You know what I mean. | 17:31 |
| flammenwurfer | yeah, I usually do to, I just hadn't thought to look there yet | 17:31 |
| spasticteapot | Rhythmbox seems to be broken. | 17:31 |
| knome | pkodon, O;) | 17:32 |
| flammenwurfer | I use Amarok for all my music playing. I've tried many other programs but Amarok is still the only one that will let me setup my podcasts the way I want to | 17:32 |
| spasticteapot | (rhythmbox:6907): Gtk-WARNING **: AudioCdSourcePopupCopyCd: missing action MusicAudioCDDuplicate | 17:32 |
| pkodon | knome: You know, I installed this fancy set of animated emoticons in Kopete, but you just sent me two that it doesn | 17:34 |
| knome | pkodon, aww ;> even my irssi supports those ;) | 17:34 |
| pkodon | knome: Er, doesn't recognize as such. | 17:34 |
| knome | pkodon, not animated though but... | 17:35 |
| pkodon | Well, I'm going to have to find out some more about IM/IRC programs. I don't like Pidgin because it doesn't support "buzz" in IM, but Kopete seems to open every conversation in a new window, instead of a new tab in the main window. | 17:36 |
| flammenwurfer | what do you mean "buzz? | 17:37 |
| knome | pkodon, you shouldn't. irssi is for major geeks who like text-based software ;) | 17:37 |
| knome | flammenwurfer, wake up? prod? | 17:37 |
| flammenwurfer | ah | 17:37 |
| pkodon | Hmm. I installed that sysstat package with apt-get, and now bash says there is no such command. | 17:58 |
| knome | package doesn't necessarily install executable named $[PACKAGE_NAME] | 17:59 |
| pkodon | knome: Oh. That doesn't help when it doesn't put an icon anywhere in the menus. | 18:00 |

| tajlero | no go | 18:02 |
| tajlero | it will FAIL | 18:02 |
| knome | tajlero, please, stop now. | 18:02 |
| knome | spasticteapot, it works. | 18:02 |
| pkodon | !info sysstat | 18:02 |
| ubottu | sysstat (source: sysstat): sar, iostat and mpstat - system performance tools for Linux. In component main, is optional. Version 8.1.2-2ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 177 kB, installed size 808 kB | 18:02 |
| knome | spasticteapot, i don't know whether it can access the cd you're trying to. | 18:02 |
| spasticteapot | The problem seems primarily to be with Rythmbox. | 18:03 |
| spasticteapot | Whenever I run Rhythmbox under Ubuntu, I get this error message: Gtk-WARNING **: AudioCdSourcePopupCopyCd: missing action MusicAudioCDDuplicate | 18:03 |
| pkodon | knome: I take it those three names are the actual programs (sar, iostat and mpstat)? | 18:03 |
| spasticteapot | Apparently it's a registered bug. | 18:03 |
| knome | pkodon, yes | 18:03 |
| pkodon | knome: Hmm, sar returns: Cannot open /var/log/sysstat/sa17: No such file or directory | 18:06 |
| knome | pkodon, you might need to run with sudo | 18:06 |
| pkodon | I get the same thing. | 18:07 |
| knome | pkodon, oh... i don't know sar/sysstat, sorry :( | 18:07 |
| pkodon | knome: That's okay. :( | 18:08 |
| knome | pkodon, maybe ask #ubuntu, because individual packages are never xubuntu-specific | 18:08 |
| j4nh12r | anyone using xubuntu on a thinkpad x23 ? | 18:08 |
| pkodon | knome: Yeah, I've noticed that, even though I have Xfce as my UI, shell-based programs are UI independend, and even the ones that use KDE/Gnome can be run in Xfce. | 18:10 |
| knome | pkodon, that concerns also gui programs. any program in *buntu* repository can be run in xfce, kde or gnome | 18:10 |
| pkodon | I had installed a desktop called openGUE or something like that, which claimed to be more efficient than Xfce, but was some combination of Gnome and Enlightenment. | 18:12 |
| pkodon | openGEU, that is. | 18:12 |
| knome | pkodon, the problem with many "light" window managers are that they miss functionality, are somewhat fuzzy if you're not familiar with them and that they can have a very small dev group (even one person) which makes the progress really slow. | 18:13 |
| knome | pkodon, and slow progress many times get people copying code from other projects and that becomes really soon a big mess. | 18:14 |
| knome | pkodon, not that you always should reinvent the wheel :) | 18:15 |
| knome | pkodon, and efficiency is not (only) cpu and/or memory efficiency | 18:15 |
| spasticteapot | Does anyone here use Rhythmbox with Xubuntu? | 18:39 |
| spasticteapot | It worked before, and now it just stopped! | 18:39 |
| spasticteapot | WTF? | 18:39 |
| cody-somerville | spasticteapot, Lets avoid that acronym :) | 18:52 |
| tajlero | help http://pastebin.ca/raw/1311022 | 19:11 |

| fbc | how do you unmout a volume with having remount again automatically? | 19:38 |
| charlie-tca | fbc: It is probably in /etc/fstab if it mounts at boot. just comment it in fstab if it is not needed to boot | 19:52 |
| paulievox | Hi there, | 20:04 |
| paulievox | quick question about routing | 20:04 |
| paulievox | I'm running Zoneminder (linux security camera platform) on an Intrepid 8.1 PC (xubuntu) | 20:05 |
| paulievox | with two NIC cards. I have 6 "IP" security cameras, which i placed | 20:05 |
| paulievox | on their own network (10.0.1.x) with its own router. | 20:05 |
| paulievox | The "Front Of House" connection lives on a 192.168.1.x network | 20:05 |
| paulievox | with its own router. | 20:05 |
| paulievox | Currently i'm bridging the connections on the Linux PC, | 20:05 |
| paulievox | by setting the secondary NIC card up with a 10.0.1.x address, | 20:05 |
| paulievox | but entering 192.168.1.1 for the gateway (the only way it seems | 20:05 |
| paulievox | to work). | 20:05 |
| paulievox | I found that by separating the cameras from my FOH connection, | 20:05 |
| paulievox | i don't run into bandwidth problems (they're greedy devils). | 20:05 |
| paulievox | Pardon my ignorance, but is there a more streamlined way to | 20:05 |
| paulievox | set this up? Should I include a static route on the 192.168.1.1 gateway | 20:05 |
| paulievox | to the 10.0.1.x subnet? | 20:05 |

| fbc | how do you unmount a volume with having remount again automatically? | 20:07 |
| fbc | I have an external drive I would like to format and I can't because it remount automatically. | 20:07 |
| paulievox | ((sorry for the wrong text encoding spam)) | 20:08 |
| knome | fbc, if it mounts automagically from fstab, you can unmount it and it will mount again on boot | 20:11 |
| knome | paulievox, #ubuntu might be better place to ask. as this is a general linux/routing question, also other channels/forums might be helpful | 20:14 |
| fbc | knome, no it's an external drive that has no entry in fstab | 20:14 |
| knome | fbc, so how is it automatically mounted? | 20:14 |
| paulievox | ok. thanks knome | 20:14 |
| knome | paulievox, np. sorry i'm not able to help myself. :) | 20:14 |
| knome | paulievox, for your convenience you might post that info into forums (ubuntuforums.org for example) and just give link there | 20:15 |
| charding | Is there no firewall enabled by default in xubuntu? running iptables -L gives all ACCEPTS | 20:19 |
| knome | charding, correct. | 20:34 |
| Ahmuck | what are the min mem requirments for xubuntu now | 21:01 |
| gabkdlly | Ahmuck: i think 256 for the live CD | 21:02 |
| charlie-tca | Ahmuck: There here: http://xubuntu.org/get ; 128MB ram, 1.5GB hard drive space | 21:03 |
| charlie-tca | oops, looks like 128MB ram to run it | 21:03 |
| charlie-tca | No, 192MB to run it | 21:04 |
| Ahmuck | does it run well at 192? | 21:14 |
| knome | Ahmuck, not really. | 21:15 |
| Ahmuck | we have someone that wants to switch, however, i don't want to put on something that won't run as quickly as windows xp would. i've found lately that the *untu and linux in general is getting processor usage heavy | 21:15 |
| Ahmuck | :( | 21:15 |
| Ahmuck | i did try crunchbang ealier, but it still needs some work imho to be a user distro. very nice, and polished, but i don't want to support another user forever | 21:16 |
| knome | Ahmuck, i think it depends on what you are running if you compare xp to xubuntu with 192 ram | 21:17 |
| knome | Ahmuck, if the user wants to make the change, then i'd go for it. | 21:17 |
| Ahmuck | the user is forced into the change. being the local helpful tech person, when thier xp computer went down i volunteered to assist. however, it appears it's a "pirated" copy from another helpful tech person, which i won't fix | 21:18 |
| Ahmuck | not wanting to purchase, or buy into a new computer, the only choice left was linux | 21:19 |
| * Ahmuck loves it when i run across these situations | 21:19 | |
| knome | okay... | 21:23 |
| Ahmuck | nm, the drive bad | 21:23 |
| retour | How under XFCE change color depth? I only see some basic options for resolution and referesh rate | 22:16 |
| sellyoursoul | new to xubuntu. i'm trying to turn off of 'tap to click' for my synaptics touch pad. i installed gsynaptic, but i didn't see any gui afterward for configuring the touch pad. any ideas? | 22:30 |
| spastic_teapot | I just created a partition on some unused hard drive space. How can I make Xubuntu mount it? | 22:43 |
| spastic_teapot | I'm trying the manual method - editng /etc/fstab - and I'm confused as to what my UUID should be. | 22:44 |

| antonehammers | hey all. i'm very close to being able to use my file server. but i cannot get permission to copy files onto my hard drive. i'm lost | 23:31 |
| antonehammers | anyone know a bit about this? seems like it'd be pretty easy to do | 23:31 |
| yertosaurus | nvm.. got it from the site... Firefox | 23:32 |
| Look4Help | no one seams to be in channel ant | 23:32 |
| antonehammers | oh, that's too bad | 23:32 |
| fbc | How do I stop a volume from remounting immediately after I right click on it and click unmount? | 23:45 |
| charlie-tca | Look4Help: Desktop has a GUI interface and gives a chance to try Xubuntu before installing. Alternate is text interface | 23:50 |
