[00:20] Hey what is the best way for me to transfer files to my XP machine through my router? [00:28] G-Bleezy: ??? [00:28] G-Bleezy: from xubuntu -> xp on LAN you mean? === Sinister` is now known as Sinister [00:41] ya [00:41] over lan :) [01:16] Does anyone know how the autostart works? For some reason X stops loading on my xubuntu system whenever the xfce splash window says 'loading autostart' [01:16] I dont need to autostart anything... [01:34] G-Bleezy: mount the xp drive on the linux box [01:34] how do i get Xubutu to see the xp drive? [01:36] G-Bleezy: are they both connected to your LAN? [01:36] yup [01:36] i can't see either from either yet tho :( [01:37] G-Bleezy: know your IP address for both? [01:37] internal yes [01:37] like 192.168.x.x? [01:37] yup [01:37] they show up connected to my router [01:37] edit /etc/fstab file === Daviey_ is now known as Daviey [01:37] and the computer name too [01:37] add this to the file: [01:38] /192.168.x.x/share /mnt/winxpdrive smbfs username=yourname,password=password 0 0 [01:38] this: //192.168.x.x/share /mnt/winxpdrive smbfs username=yourname,password=password 0 0 [01:38] G-Bleezy: do you have samba? [01:39] yup [01:39] im not sure user/pass on the xp if there is one...do you know how i can test? [01:39] ok, then add that line to /etc/fstab [01:39] ok, what after that? [01:39] in winxp, i believe it's under 'file sharing', rightclick, properties, etc [01:40] after you added to the file, sudo mount -a [01:41] oh yeah, you have to first sudo mkdir /mnt/winxpdrive [01:41] think it'd be chill if i left out the username= and password= fields from that line [01:43] probably [01:43] or use your winxp admin name whatever that is [02:39] any 8.10 experts? [02:40] SPAMMERS UNIT [02:40] UNITE [02:40] beware [02:40] they are every where [02:40] I need help with my sound [02:40] * rocko hides [02:41] Ben--\: what it the question? [02:41] sound is broken... [02:41] I cant get my sound to work in xubu 8.10 [02:41] why ?' [02:41] all or part of it [02:41] My board is Abit Fata1ty IN9 [02:41] is it with all application that use sound Ben--\ ? [02:41] no sound at all [02:42] well you could try reconfiguring alsa [02:42] I used the board on my windows system and had to install the sound drivers but I cant find the drivers for linux? [02:42] normally they are part of the kernel. You don't have to install them like windows [02:43] thats what I was thinking [02:43] any suggestions??? [02:43] rocko? [02:43] hold on [02:43] last one I helped did not get sound [02:44] Ben--\ try this sudo alsaconf [02:44] * charlie-tca is not too good with that [02:44] SLI Realtek High Definition Audio is what it used in windows, is there a linux compatible? [02:44] ok [02:45] Ben--\ can you do lspci and paste the out put at pastebin.ca [02:45] hi Ben--\ [02:45] from your terminal [02:45] hey danopia [02:45] oh btw my /dev/dsp is always busy [02:45] ok [02:45] any tips? [02:46] "sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp" returns nothing [02:46] why do you mean danopia [02:46] rocko, ? [02:46] you mean like it can not be used when another application is already using it? [02:46] you want me to paste all the output? [02:46] yes Ben--\ [02:47] rocko, i mean NO application can use it [02:47] after that I will check to see if alsa has your card listed as being supported [02:47] I see danopia [02:47] rocko, while i was swtiching movies in mplayer, my soudn just completely died [02:47] well you guys should all try "sudo alsaconf" out first to see if that will fix the problem [02:47] any and every program either has no audio outputs or says unabel to open sound, echo asdf>/dev/dsp says device busy [02:48] ok, pasted it in a dialog window for you [02:48] cmd not found [02:48] R1cochet, [02:48] rocko, [02:48] rocko, sudo: alsaconf: command not found [02:48] ok [02:48] it looks like you need to install alsaconf [02:49] it isn'ta package [02:49] i'm using hardy btw [02:49] hmm it looks like ubuntu does not come with it any more [02:49] and sound was workign, it just died suddenly [02:49] and it is not in the repository [02:49] reboot dind't help, the device was busy when it came back up [02:50] you could try this "sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa" [02:51] i did [02:51] acutally [02:51] also isn't installed [02:51] i did alsa-utils [02:51] danopia dpkg-reconfigure [02:52] is not install ? [02:52] no [02:52] well I am not sure why it is not [02:52] 'alsa' isn't [02:52] it should be [02:52] /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: alsa is not installed [02:52] alsa is not install ? [02:52] but alsa-utils is [02:52] and alsa-base [02:52] and i did both before [02:52] you should try installing alsa [02:52] sudo apt-get install alsa [02:52] Note, selecting alsa-base instead of alsa [02:52] alsa-base is already the newest version. [02:52] i ahve alsa-base [02:53] well i question try sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base [02:53] i did [02:53] no wonder your sound is not working Ben--\ you have a nvidia card [02:54] * danopia uses nvidia video :P [02:54] well in the open source that is not good [02:54] but with proprietary software that is ok [02:54] because nvidia maintains good proprietary drivers for linux [02:55] i have hte proprietary drivers [02:55] and i have twinview all set up etc. [02:55] no one say nvidia hates linux [02:55] but if you want to go all open source / free software you will want ati for graphics card [02:55] * danopia was acutally trying to watch Antitrust whent eh audio died. [02:55] have you seen Antitrust? [02:56] yes [02:56] so you konw how it's related to the conv? :P [02:56] * danopia randomly retarts gdm [02:57] nope, fails [02:59] it doesn't look like alsa supports your sound card Ben--\ [03:00] heh [03:00] totem even has full nvidia TV-Out support. [03:00] lol [03:00] i mgiht want to try that instead of just using dvi -> hdmi [03:00] but still, no audio [03:00] well for use with the proprietary drivers [03:01] i'm using integrated audio [03:01] me too [03:01] mine is ATI [03:01] i've even switched PCs with the same isntall and audio worked [03:01] it is supported by alsa [03:02] Ben--\ you still there ? [03:03] nvidia refuses to release documentation on the specifications of its hardware so open source developers have to reinvent the wheel when making drivers [03:03] ati does not do that [03:03] however ati does not release every thing [03:03] but it is better than nothing like with nvidia [03:03] either way, i just watn audio back :P [03:04] if you want a machine that is 100% free/ open source software it is based to go with amd and ati [03:05] intel does release some of its documentation for its integrated graphics cards on its motherboards it makes [03:06] 100% free/ open source software pc http://www.lemote.com/english/fuloong.html [03:06] bios, firmware, drivers.... is all open [03:07] my audio is intel i think [03:07] I see [03:07] how did it stop working ? [03:07] did you update recently? [03:07] i was swithcing movies [03:07] from one to another [03:07] sometimes updating can brake things [03:08] and it was wrokign on when, but when i loaded hte second movie mplayer spat an audio error at me [03:08] last update was a week ago [03:08] i've had some updates but i install when i'm bored [03:08] i konw that it worked [03:08] tehn an huor later i swtiched movies and it wasn't working [03:08] I see [03:08] I do not know sorry [03:08] I can not be any more of help [03:09] hold on [03:09] danopia Ben--\ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [03:09] tried it. [03:09] danopia Ben--\ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems [03:10] prehaps you should file a bug report ? [03:11] whoops man I am out of it [03:11] I used a question mark [03:11] ahhaha [03:12] lol? [03:12] Headphone was selected [03:12] my PC done'st have front headphone ports though [03:12] adn my fornt mic port has a LOT of fuzz [03:12] but i don't have a front mic port [03:13] lol [03:13] ok well [03:13] totem has audio but mplayer doens't [03:14] now it looks like an player issue [03:14] wtf [03:15] i am genuinely confused [03:15] all i konw is [03:15] antitrust has audio in totem [03:15] i shall watch! [03:16] well [03:16] now that i played in the gui alsamixer [03:16] (which seems to have more features) [03:16] my volume controls actually work again! [03:16] before the volume was 0 (off) or anything else (full) [03:18] hmm maybe I should of suggested that [03:18] i already checked mute [03:18] but it was weirder [03:18] Front Headphones was all the way down [03:18] well that happens sometimes with applications not being able to play sound and anothere can [03:18] so the output, oncei uncheaked Headphones, was realllly low [03:18] so when i pulled up front headphones, audio output is higher than ever [03:19] but i'm not using front headphones [03:39] Hey so i'm tryin to setup file sharing and im reading this thing right....and it says this: 1) In XFCE's Applications -> System -> Shared Folders. (This should trigger a Samba install if you don't already have a share, and it should allow you to define the proper workgroup) [03:39] howcome i can't do that? [03:40] i don't see Shared Folders [03:44] and also this...do you guys see this? 5) In XFCE Applications -> System -> Users and Groups... Properties of your username... User Priveleges Tab... check "Allow use of fuse file systems..." [04:24] danopia, [04:24] Ben--\, [04:24] get your sound prob fixed? [04:24] yea, a while ago [04:24] :P [04:25] hmm, any tips for me? [04:25] not really [04:26] danopia, go msn === G-Bleezy is now known as G-Blunted [04:44] anybody know why the style switcher in settings/appearances in xfce 4.6 doesn't work? [04:52] durt: it works ok for me [04:54] Hey where can i find this: In XFCE Applications -> System -> Users and Groups... Properties of your username... User Priveleges Tab... check "Allow use of fuse file systems..." [04:56] G-Blunted: you need to "unlock" the Users and Groups application for the fuse file system option to show [04:56] Applications > System > Users and Groups > "Unlock" [04:57] then highlight your user name, and click properties [04:57] i gotta go to bed - 'night, all [05:05] I don't have "Users and Groups" [05:05] how can i get that? [05:05] or how can i change permissions so everyone can use the mount [05:06] because i can't get to it unless im root right now and i don't like that [05:11] Why am i missing Application->System->Network...Applications->System->Shared Folders...and App->Sys->Users and Groups....what am i missing here? I don't have any of those... [05:23] G-Blunted: Applications>System>User and Groups [05:23] check there [05:23] obviously [05:24] "User and Groups" isn't there [05:24] either is the other two i mentioned...i'm so confused! [05:25] weird it should be right under update manager [05:25] r u on xubuntu? [05:32] Hello, everyone, I want to mount my "usr" to a space paration (now it's mount in "/"), how can i do that? [05:33] <_Pete_> you want to move usr to another disc permanently ? [05:33] no, in the same disc. [05:33] <_Pete_> well anyway [05:34] can i use Live_CD to do that? [05:34] ya im on Xubuntu 8.1 [05:34] <_Pete_> I'm just thingking, I think you can do that with running system [05:34] what am i missing? [05:35] now, i have a empty paration, i want my "usr" mount in it. [05:36] <_Pete_> what I would do [05:36] with running system? how? [05:36] i found it [05:36] I'm missing hella packs from System folder [05:36] pretty self explanitory i suppose :p [05:37] G-Blunted: did you ever have any luck w/ the mounting of the xp drive on linux? [05:37] <_Pete_> just figured out yes maybe it's better do with livecd :) [05:38] Will my date in usr is gone? [05:38] <_Pete_> no [05:38] <_Pete_> do you know how to mount your current / while using livecd ? [05:38] That's pretty [05:39] I think no, I never do that before. [05:40] I have a Ubuntu 8.04 live_CD, can I use that? [05:40] <_Pete_> yes [05:40] <_Pete_> just a sec [05:45] Mood: Still workin on it...i'm real close... [05:45] <_Pete_> tzolkin: http://pastebin.com/m59a611a7 [05:45] my goal is drag and drop capability between the two computers [05:46] G-Blunted: use thunar' [05:56] i installed gnomenu but cant seem to get it to display in add to panel. how can i add it to the panel? [06:20] what package would this be in? In XFCE Applications -> Settings -> Autostarted Applications. [06:32] apps>settings>settings manager [06:35] okay so... [06:37] G-Blunted: any luck? [06:37] from windows i can browse to my Xubuntu computer and drag and drop files to and from all day long and have lots of fun yay! But in Xubuntu...it seems to be working on and off...i was browsing for one moment and then i got kicked off [06:38] G-Blunted: Are you using Thunar? [06:38] yea [06:38] G-Blunted: so you had success with the mount -a, right? [06:40] no not really... [06:40] had success once i added shared folders, users and groups, and networking packages that were missing [06:40] G-Blunted: did you do all the steps i recommended starting with editing the /etc/fstab file? [06:40] Samba package was missing too [06:40] ya [06:40] it didn't really work at all [06:40] Error 13: [06:40] G-Blunted: what did u install from? [06:41] add/remove programs [06:41] G-Blunted: go to terminal [06:41] and fusesmb [06:41] i did fusesmb /mnt/xpdrv and i think that might of done somethin [06:41] G-Blunted: type ls /mnt [06:41] i meant what did u install xubuntu from? livecd or alt? [06:42] ls: cannont access /mnt/xpdrv: Transport endpoint is not connected [06:43] G-Blunted: cat /etc/fstab and put it into paste.ubuntu.com [06:47] http://pastebin.com/d2e668164 [06:48] G-Blunted: you commented out the last line? why? also, the C$ looks weird [06:48] Mood: can u help with adding gnomenu? [06:49] G-Blunted: also not sure if username=gigabyte/G-Hart will would [06:49] will work* [06:49] R1cochet: let me read the log... [06:49] because it wasn't working at all and i was tryin somethin else but i didn't wanna forget that line so i just commented it out....and i couldn't change the C$ share name in windows...it wouldn't let me, so i used it...and it does show up like that on the network... [06:50] G-Blunted: $ is usually not a valid char. neither is a / [06:50] its just weird that it worked for a moment...but as i was browsing more the connection just sort of courrupted on me until finally i lost it and i couldn't see anything in the /mnt dir [06:50] what you mean / [06:51] G-Blunted: username=gigabyte/G-Hart [06:52] G-Blunted: try changing the name in xp again. it should let you [06:52] what log? [06:52] R1cochet: irc chat log [06:53] R1cochet: so what're you trying to have show up? === wormsxulla_ is now known as wormsxulla [06:56] i'm trying to be able to browse /mnt/xpdrv/ where i have C$ and "Muzik" shares...one is My Music one is C:... [06:57] oh and i want to browse them in Thunar and drag drop files/folders to my desktop through there [06:57] G-Blunted: ok, one at a time. let's do Muzik. in winxp you need to turn on sharing for that folder [06:57] i want to get gnomenu to be added to panel [06:57] G-Blunted: did you do that? [06:58] yes [06:58] it is shared [06:58] how are you editing /etc/fstab? [06:58] mousepad? [06:58] i can browse shares from the xp computer...stuff that is on the domain/workgroup [06:58] ya [06:58] ok, so edit /etc/fstab and put this in: [07:00] G-Blunted: http://pastebin.com/m670f9fe6 [07:00] G-Blunted: last line #11 [07:01] R1cochet: gnomenu added to panel? or your desktop theme to be gnomenu? [07:02] added to panel [07:02] ok so i mkdir /mnt/xpmusik [07:02] what is the right permissions to give it? [07:02] G-Blunted: yes [07:02] G-Blunted: it should default to 777 [07:02] G-Blunted: don't chmod it [07:03] k [07:03] what is 777 again? [07:03] G-Blunted: universal access [07:03] ok so mount -a worked [07:03] no errors [07:03] oh shit [07:03] R1cochet: is your theme gnomenu currently? [07:03] it showed up in Thunar [07:03] i didn't even notice [07:03] it just popped up sweet [07:04] G-Blunted: in Thunar, you can add the new mount folder into the side panel on the left [07:04] and it's linked!! [07:04] * G-Blunted nods [07:04] done and done [07:04] G-Blunted: ok so now it should auto mount upon boot [07:04] how can i make sure that saves? [07:04] that link [07:04] editing /etc/fstab made it mount upon next reboot [07:05] ok [07:05] well [07:05] ya i guess id like to try C: [07:06] R1cochet: not sure what you're trying to do by "adding gnomenu to panel"... but items can be added to panel by right clicking directly on panel and adding new items [07:07] G-Blunted: why are you going to mount the entire C drive? it will have windoz system files that linux doesn't care for [07:07] G-Blunted: just mount data directories, like My Documents [07:07] k [07:11] i have xfce menu but want ot change it to gnomenu [07:14] http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Slickness+for+GnoMenu?content=98168 [07:14] R1cochet: try going to Applications->Settings Manager->User Interface->Themes [07:16] R1cochet: how did you install gnomenu? [07:17] with a deb package [07:17] R1cochet: did you use synaptic? [07:17] its not a theme its an add-on [07:17] nope its not in there [07:17] got the deb from launchpad [07:18] R1cochet: not sure... but i think gnomenu is still in beta for xubuntu [07:18] ok- i'm off to bed. good night folks [07:18] and good luck [07:19] night [07:19] heres a screenshot of what im trying to get installed [07:19] http://gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=98168&file1=98168-1.jpg&file2=&file3=&name=Slickness+for+GnoMenu [07:19] http://georgia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6655976 [07:19] R1cochet: someone said gnomenu got added to panel upon reboot [07:20] Mood: Thanks man! I was workin on that for so long :p [07:20] works like a charm! And i did like u said just shared my documents and that is real nice for me :) [07:21] G-Blunted: no worries man. good luck w/ xubuntu. i love it [07:21] i got drag and drop file browsing on both sides now [07:21] I LOVE XUBUNTU!! :p [07:23] <_Pete_> drag&drop is for kids, real man use cmdline :) [07:24] tried a restart but thanx [07:24] lol [07:24] enjoy g-blunted [07:24] dude im using Compiz...gimme a break :p [07:24] i check forums b4 i ask here but ohhwell [07:24] Drag&Drop + Compiz == 31337 [07:25] i use compiz as well [07:25] i love it [07:25] compiz rocks [07:25] i love my cube!!! [07:25] it's the coolest thing ever [07:25] <_Pete_> is compiz easy to enable/disable with xubuntu? [07:25] have u had a look at enlightenment desktop? [07:25] i think compiz is the most productive thing ever [07:25] it literally feels like i am flying through these windows [07:25] <_Pete_> I have noticed when compositething is in use with kde/gnome 3d-games works slower [07:26] _Pete_: how do u mean enable/disable? [07:26] <_Pete_> especially with kde4 [07:26] its like i hacked in to a vnc of a windows computer in 2025 [07:26] <_Pete_> R1cochet: is it in use or not [07:27] i dont use kde but yea u can enable/disable in terminal if u like [07:27] only thing i dont like about compiz is that it wont show menu on right-click [07:27] <_Pete_> R1cochet: how do you do that in terminal? [07:28] ur on kde right? [07:28] <_Pete_> no [07:28] well for me in xfce [07:29] to enable in terminal "compiz --replace" [07:31] one sec lemme find command to revert [07:34] cant find it [07:34] but ask in #compiz-fusion [07:35] <_Pete_> do you use 3D-games ? [07:35] i havent in linux yet === wormsxulla_ is now known as wormsxulla [07:49] anyone tried lxde and can share the experience? [07:49] i understand it's lightweight since using openbox. [07:52] owen1, i found it to be slower than xfce [07:53] looks alot like kde [07:56] chewit: interesting. xfce is using xfce4 while xlde is using openbox. isn't openbox faster? [07:57] yeh i think so [07:58] chewit: so it's weird that u find xfce to be faster. [07:58] <_Pete_> btw is thre some way to measure it other than your experience? [07:59] _Pete_: true [08:23] Hy guys! Sort question: is the ntfs-kernel-server qequired for Xubuntu to operate properly in any way? [08:24] ntfs or nfs [08:25] there is no ntfs-kernel-server, but there is nfs-kernel-server package [08:28] Aquina: ^ [08:35] Aehm.. sorry mistyped NFS of course. [08:35] ntfs is a fs ;-) [08:36] I want to remove EVERYTHING NFS-like from my Xubuntu system. Will that break functionality? [08:40] (I mean this also includes the removal of "nfs-common" and all packets that have to do s.th. with NFS. Im also usnure about the "portmap" packet.) [08:41] What do you think about what I stated, Myrtti? [08:41] hmmm [08:41] !info nfs-common [08:41] nfs-common (source: nfs-utils): NFS support files common to client and server. In component main, is standard. Version 1:1.1.2-4ubuntu1.1 (intrepid), package size 187 kB, installed size 540 kB [08:42] Aquina: nfs is not needed, port mapper might be needed by some apps like avahi [08:43] maybe even cups, at least for some configurations [08:44]
