[07:45] lol [07:45] i need help [07:47] !ask | trick_m0nk [07:47] trick_m0nk: 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. :-) [07:48] you guys should put gthumb as default image view [07:49] cause the default freezes on really high resolution images [07:49] gthumb is way too heavy [07:49] it is [07:49] please report a bug [07:49] ok [07:50] Ok. I am trying to install xubuntu 8.10 on my dell optiplex. It has 2.6 ghz P4, 1 gig of ram, 60 gig hard drive. I am able to get into the boot screen with the Live CD (which has been verified for integrety), but when I tell it to install or boot to linux from the cd, it gives me a black screen with a blinking cursor. After a few minutes a loading bar comes up, and a few minutes after that, I get the command promp [07:50] trick_m0nk, have you tried safe graphics mode? [07:50] yes [07:51] was it verified for integrity on the same computer on which you are trying to install it? [07:51] eys [07:51] my xubuntu 8.10 doesn't lock on suspend & hibernate, is there some setting for making it lock? [07:52] taw: are you using xscreensaver instead of gnome-screensaver? [07:52] default install, haven't touched [07:53] see if running gnome-power-manager helps... [07:53] taw, it should lock if you do control + alt + delete [07:54] is this module needed ehci-hcd in order to use usb 2? [07:59] TheSheep, I ran gnome-power-manager, and after it, suspend & resume, not locked [08:00] rocko_, sure I can lock, but I want my computer locked and suspended [08:00] or sometimes locked & hibernate [08:00] I see [08:00] i am not sure how to do that [08:00] mine does it [08:00] no idea how [08:01] which version? [08:01] 8.10 [08:01] I've seen same problems on latest kubuntu also, but at least kubuntu 7.04 locks [08:03] TheSheep, is yours fresh install or upgraded? [08:06] taw: well, a fresh install of one of the alphas... [08:06] taw: then upgrades and some hacking [08:08] Is there any way to get the current 4.6 beta to 8.10? The xubuntu-dev-PPA, where I installes beta1 from, seems to not get any updates... [08:08] I suppose they are working on 9.04 [08:09] 4.6 is beta anyways [08:10] beta, sure, but it still runs fine most of the time ;-) [08:17] Thanks TheSheep, The conf at the url you provided did not work at first [08:17] I used my ubuntu xorg.conf and changed the driver from vesa to r128 and it seems to work [08:17] thanks once again [09:11] what's the official way to configure synaptics in xubuntu intrepid? I tried the mcs plugin, but it requires a line in otherwise nonexistent xorg.conf [09:11] http://www.flickr.com/photos/myrtti/3208591933/ [09:21] hey guys,,, i was hoping you couldhelp me get my network shares working in xubuntu? [09:22] I think it is all workign sorta... but (Q) - How so you change the workgroup of your xubuntu system? [09:23] As when i look at the windows network from my XP box it says that there is a 2nd workgroup called "workgroup" and in that i can see my xubuntu box [09:23] Also ... form the xubuntu box... how do i browse to the XP shares? [09:23] Thanksin advance === Sinister` is now known as Sinister [10:21] jynks, its in the samba config (/etc/samba/smb.conf) [10:21] ablomen: thanks [10:21] and how do i edit that? [10:22] its the first option ( workgroup = WORKGROUP) [10:22] sudo mousepad /etc/samba/smb.conf [10:22] and when you made the change, sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [10:23] ablomen: great thanks [10:23] that worked [10:23] yw :) [10:23] ablomen: so how do i browse to the windows shares from my xbuntu system? [10:25] ehm i think there was a program called pyneighbourhood or something [10:25] you can also use the smbtree command to see the shares so you can mount them with cli [10:27] is there a way to mount them un the termainal? [10:28] jynks, cli == terminal. see smbtree [10:28] smbclient to access them like ftp, fusesmb to mount them [10:28] TheSheep, o/ [10:29] _o- [10:29] walk like an egyptian [10:30] meh i don't like mondays [10:30] haha :) [10:30] not to mention being single by choice :) [10:30] single? nah... ;) [10:30] i prefer lp's [10:31] * TheSheep just installed Jaunty [10:31] ok I have installed fusesmb, how do I get a command line options help thing ? so i can mount a share? [10:31] TheSheep, how is it working [10:31] jynks, first add your user to the fuse group [10:32] knome: fine so far, removing the apps I don't use and installing the essentials now [10:32] ablomen: how when i type fuse it jus tsays i have a eorr as no mount point [10:32] is there ment ot be a gui for it? [10:33] jynks, sudo adduser YOURUSERNAME fuse [10:34] jynks: there is gui in system->users and groups [10:34] you have to relog after that [10:34] reboot? [10:34] thanks for this guys i apreciate it [10:34] brb [10:35] i did the command ablomen told me to do [10:35] he's clearly coming from windows... [10:36] knome, well thats good :) [10:36] yeah [10:36] have to go -> [10:37] ok i am back [10:40] jynks, ok now you should be able to do something like mount.cifs //name_or_ip_adress/sharename /media/yourmountpoint/ [10:41] hehe i guess that isnt fuse btw, ah well, still it should work [10:50] anyone use bitpim under 64 bit ? everything on google says it will work but it dont sdeem to like me [11:39] anyone know how to edit qcp files ? === forces is now known as Guest83325 [12:53] hi everyone [12:54] i have a strange problem [12:54] i installed xubuntu into a partition formatting it as ext3 but not able to install grub [12:55] i already had pclinuxos and grub installed so when i checked the partition of pclinuxos it says the paritition is fat16 [12:56] what's more strange is that from windows it says it an ext parition [12:56] im using a IFS driver in windows [12:58] hi guys... would i please be able to get some help in getting fusesmb to work? [12:58] I can not seam to figure it out [13:05] hey guys, anyone here? [13:05] jynks, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb [13:06] i'm just wondering - didn't NetworkManager have a gui back in the day? could i get to it now (i have nm-applet going)...? [13:07] armadillio, you mean network-admin ? [13:07] i'd guess they changed it then? i'll give that a try [13:08] that command didn't work. [13:08] (its still reachable from menu=>system=>network or something like that [13:08] yea, i thought i'd find it there.... can't tho [13:10] thing is, i want to manually force my ethernet connection on start up, even though it doesn't do anything until i connect wirelessly through eth1, then will hopefully be able to bridge the connections through firestarter [13:11] that damn nm-applet screwed everything man :( [13:13] looks like it might be gnome-network-admin, i'll install and report back [13:14] ablomen: yea i did it again.. but i have done that page a few times and all i end up with is a dir that is empty [13:14] ls -R or browsing in gui is jus tan empty dir... no error messages or anything [13:15] see, after installing that your option came up (menu system network) ... that should be there by default :p [13:18] seriously, network bridging should be easier in linux, damn man... [13:19] do you guys know any way to force one connection to just be on (eth0 in my case), letting nm-applet handle the other (eth1), and making nm-applet have nothing to do with eth0? i just want to force it on, nm-applet takes everything over [13:20] armadillio, manual-configure eth0 (/etc/networking/interfaces) [13:20] srry /etc/network/interfaces [13:20] will it just be on, though? how could i check? [13:20] well at least nm wont touch it [13:21] k [13:21] and as long as the cable is connected and the settings are correct it should always be on [13:21] so it's like, "auto eth0 (hit enter) manual-configure eth0"? [13:22] armadillio, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [13:24] ablomen: yea i still can not get it to work mate. I have copy pasted the text from the faq like about ten times.. and no joy... any ideas? [13:28] does it throw any errors? [13:29] no [13:29] no errors.. [13:30] what does mount say? [13:31] god dammit seriously, nm-applet is a control freak [13:31] nothign it just gose to a new line [13:31] tsktsk [13:31] jynks, no just mount [13:31] no options [13:31] i cna acess a xubuntu share from my xp system easy though [13:31] it gives you a list of mounted stuff [13:31] oh hang on [13:32] fusesmb on /home/jynks/network type fuse.fusesmb (rw,nosuid,nodev,max_read=32768,user=jynks) [13:32] was one of the lines in the mount list [13:32] well then it should be mounted to something [13:33] ls -R is ment to list the network? [13:33] -R just means recursive [13:33] or do I mount to the directly to a share name on the netweotrk (m$ style) //Xpbox/sharename ? [13:34] well yeah you must mount the share [13:34] not the computer [13:34] so for example over here i mount //server/secure, //server/webserver etc seperatly [13:35] i under stand and is that difined in that "~/.smb/fusesmb.conf" file? [13:35] uhm i think so, i use mount.cifs myself [13:36] the faw just says to "fusermount -u Network" [13:36] faq* [13:37] yeah but you pre-defign what gets mounted on that folder in the fusesmb.conf file [13:38] oh nvm, no im kidding [13:38] ok lets just use mount.cifs [13:39] first install smbfs and after that do what i said earlyer: [13:39] jynks, ok now you should be able to do something like mount.cifs //name_or_ip_adress/sharename /media/yourmountpoint/ [13:39] that should just work TM [13:40] ok [13:40] i think smbfs is already installed [13:41] ok thats good :) [13:41] how do i use it? [13:41] mount.cifs //ip_adress/sharename ~/Network [13:41] your benign very patient ablomen thanks btw [13:42] ok i'll try [13:42] heh np, world domination takes time and work :P [13:43] *effort [13:43] "mount error: can not change directory into mount target" [13:44] do i need to unmoutn the fusedmb thing on taht dir? [13:44] oh yeah, forgot about that [13:45] i think i need to reboot.. "fusermount -u network " is eorrign now sayign it is in use [13:45] brb [13:50] jynks, more luck this time? [13:51] narr [13:51] i made a new dir this time and tried it and got this message [13:51] Mounting the DFS root for a particular server not implemented yet [13:52] using "mount.cifs //xx.x.x.x /Archive ~/archive" [13:52] jynks, is there a space between the ip and /Archive in your command as wel? [13:53] yes! [13:53] well theres your problem :) [13:53] ablomen: your a great guy thank you [13:53] it seams to work [13:54] wooh :) [13:54] I ls -R by mistake so it is all goign crazy listing [13:54] sweet [13:54] ablomen: just before i go how do i unmount them if i wish to? [13:55] umount ~/archive should do the trick :) [13:55] well. thanks a lot.. i think that is the last issue with my install (first time linux user) [13:55] everythign is gravy now.. cheers [13:56] :) [13:56] 20 karma points to you mate.. see ya roudn [13:56] later jynks [14:23] hi guys...some spkeas italian? [14:23] !it [14:24] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [14:24] thanks [16:14] Is it possible to make the mouse pointer disappear completely? if so, how would I go about doing that? [16:19] firecrotch, unplug your mouse. [16:21] knome: That doesn't work... [17:04] Anyone have a Xubuntu 8.10 i386 desktop iso that they could cksum for me? [17:06] ball, checksums are available on the wiki [17:07] * ball goes looking for the wiki [17:09] ball: each mirror should have checksums, here is a start: http://xubuntu.org/get [17:11] Ah yes, failed md5sum [17:12] time to download another copy. [17:13] Hmm... that's going to take a few hours. [17:32] does the xubuntu use the gnome power manager and the gnome screens saver??? [17:34] yes [17:34] and one qustion mark is enough [18:07] TheSheep, I did not expect xfce to use any gnome components [18:20] fbc: it's not xfce that's using them, it's xubuntu [18:25] TheSheep, hmm,, well when I unplug the power supply on my laptop I get a little batery indicator on the tool bar. If I right click on it, and click ABOUT, it says gnome-power-manager. So you are saying that XFCE did not install it or is running it? The distribution did? [18:30] fbc: you are confusing two different things: xfce and xubuntu [18:31] fbc: xfce is a set of programs such as window manager, panel, desktop background, etc. [18:31] fbc: xubuntu is a linux distribution that ships them and more [18:32] fbc: since xfce project doesn't include a screensaver or power manager, xubuntu uses the same programs as gnome [18:32] TheSheep, ohh.. [18:35] hi [18:35] is anyone using gnome-do with xubuntu 8.04 [18:35] ? [18:37] for some reason when I lauch it, the icon does not appear in the systray [18:37] and I cannot get it to show up with Super-Space [19:07] qsrv: have you tried running gnome-do from a terminal? and seeing if there are any errors? [19:20] I'm having problems using the Lock Screen tool from the applet bar. Any ideas why it won't start? Related: gnone-screensaver won't start when system is idle. [19:22] I am running ubuntu 8.10, if I want to run xfce, can I just install it without having to install Xubuntu? [19:23] andresmh, yeah, just install xubuntu-desktop :) [19:23] ablomen, i do not see xfce listed in the add/remove apps [19:25] andresmh, try synaptic, or just type this in the terminal: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [19:26] i found it ablomen [19:26] :) [19:26] why does it want to install abiword? :-/ [19:26] abiword is part of xubuntu [19:26] thats part of the xubuntu package [19:27] andresmh, installing the whole package and removing the apps you dont need later is easyer then installing xfce by hand [19:27] Ochian: Try reinstalling gnome-screensaver? [19:27] I'll try that then. [19:28] thanks. It's downloading all the stuff now. [19:31] :) [19:34] Doesn't seem to ahve worked, charlie-tca. [19:38] somewhere i read that if i open a gnome app on xfce it defeats the point of runing xfce since it will basically load a lot of the gnome libraries [19:38] is this true? [19:39] andresmh, well.. sort of, though, not really [19:39] a gnome app will be slower because it will use a lot of heavy gnome apps yeah, but still the wm/dm etc is lighter [19:40] and its more usable imho :) [19:40] s/gnome apps/gnome libs [19:46] andresmh, so what i mean is, the apps themselves might not go any faster or slower, the system just stays more responsive [19:47] all my videos have this http://img505.imageshack.us/my.php?image=breakingvidzl3.jpg problem and i tried smplayer, vlc, with all the output drivers. using 8.10 with fglrx. any ideas what could cause that distorsion? [19:47] i see, i like that ablomen, ok, so I just installed xubuntu-desktop [19:47] i should logout and see what happens : [19:47] brb :) [19:48] jxander, i remember reading about the ati drivers not playing nice with (some) videos [19:48] i tried the radeon driver too... still no improvement :(... any ideas? [19:49] next to buying a nvidia card, not really, googling atm [19:49] so i am in xubuntu now :) [19:50] not very different looking at first sight [19:50] ablomen: :(( i'm on a lappy... [19:50] how do I enable compiz ? [19:51] andresmh, by starting compiz (compiz --replace if im correct) but you might want to try the build in transperancy first to see if thats enough eyecandy for ya [19:51] a lot lighter [19:52] jxander, could you give some more info about your video card? (lspci | grep "vga") [19:52] ablomen: 1sec [19:52] i'll give it a try without compiz for now ablomen, the effect from compiz I like is zoom-in/out [19:53] is there a way to do that in xfce? [19:53] jxander, ehm sorry that VGA in capitals [19:53] andresmh, no not without a screen magnifier thingy [19:53] ablomen: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400 [19:54] it's interesting that xubuntu has panels too, i wasn't expecting that :) [19:54] how do i remove the bottom panel? [19:54] andresmh, heh yeah it has everything except.. i think samba (windows network) browsing is the only thing iv seen missing [19:55] right click doesn't show an menu to delete the panel [19:55] andresmh, right-click =>customice pannel [19:56] nice [19:57] andresmh, hmm sorry not finding much info, you might wanna try googling yourself for "ati x1400 ubuntu" [19:58] is there a way to reduce the height of the panel? the option. The Panel Manger>Appearance>Size just reduces the size of some icons on the panel, but no the size of the panel itself ablomen [19:58] andresmh, it does.. [19:59] or it should anyway, try changing it with like 20 pixels [19:59] it's all the way to 16 pixels [19:59] maybe i need to logout? [19:59] i guess theres a minimum size [19:59] no you shouldnt have to [19:59] well it never changed [20:00] you might be on the wrong pannel (see the select box) [20:00] yeah, i only have 1 panel now [20:00] it does increase its size but not decrease [20:00] andresmh: It depends on the actual icons on the panel, also. Some will not reduce lower than a preset size. [20:01] My orage clock will not go below 34 pixels, due to the size of the font I use. [20:01] i see, so it must be about the font [20:01] is there a keyboard shortcut for the xfce menu? [20:03] andresmh, in the settings manager there is a keyboard button and in that a shortcuts tab :) [20:04] andresmh: Yes, Ctrl+Esc will pop the menu up [20:13] it's working well [20:13] :) [20:16] what's the keyboard shortcut to maximize and minimize a window? [20:24] Alt+f5 [20:24] Alt+f8 for minimize [20:25] alt+f5 maximize and restore to size again. [20:25] thanks [20:25] no problem. [20:25] how could i have found that by myself? [20:26] I think it is /usr/share/xfce4/doc [20:27] /usr/share/themes/Default/xfwm4/keythemerc has it too [20:32] the only things i miss from compiz are screen capture of a region of the screen and zoom in/out [20:33] andresmh, you can capture a region of a screen with imagemagic, google for that :) [20:46] andresmh: you can also install screen-shooter to the panel and use it to capture a full screen or window [20:47] i'll check it out [20:48] for some reason the keys to increase/decrease work but they do not show the indicator in the center of the screen that shows up in gnome [20:48] on the other hand the brightness one works the same as in gnome [20:49] I don't think Xubuntu uses the same apps for it that gnome uses [20:49] i see [20:50] it's interesting that the brightness shows the same though [20:58] on "Sessions and Startup" I am seeing that I have "Launch Gnome services on startup" [20:58] what does that mean and can i disable it? [20:58] what gnome services am i running? [21:00] Now I don't know that one. [21:03] i'll post it in the xubuntu forums [21:34] hi [21:35] hello [23:08] Hi guys.... How can I sent a terminal command to auto run each time i boot the system? [23:08] jynks, Applications->Settings->Settings Manager, then choose Autostarted Applications [23:08] (That will run it once you login though) [23:09] vinnl: Thanks! [23:10] Do i need to add a new one for each command or can i like load a "batch" file with a command on each line? [23:10] You can add a shell script, I suppose [23:10] shell script [23:10] batch file, psh [23:10] yea ye a I am new first ever install :) [23:10] silly windows switch over [23:10] :P [23:10] :P [23:10] you'll learn [23:11] it's okay ;) [23:11] wat is the ext of a shell script? [23:12] None needed, but .sh is common practice I believe [23:12] cool thanks.. so just a new command on each line? in plain text .sh placed anywhere on Hdrive? [23:15] I thought so, yeah [23:15] ok thanks.... as a reward (in case you havn't seen) here is a joke I found while searching for info on hwo to get this install working [23:15] If not, you might need to separate the commands with a semi-colon (I don't really do this often :P) [23:15] http://xkcd.com/149/ [23:15] Yay, reward! :P [23:16] Yay, xkcd! [23:16] Ah, yeah I know that [23:16] though you would heh [23:16] http://cli-apps.org/content/show.php?content=89734 [23:16] well its all new to me.. but thanks man [23:16] yw [23:18] see ya
