BigMoopiesHello, when I just booted I got a "routine check of drives /dev/sda5" , is this like a chkdsk ? /dev/sda5 I believe is my NTFS partition for WindowsXP02:46
TheSheepit is like chkdsk, but it shouldn't be running on windows partitions02:47
BigMoopiesyeah, skip  that.  It isn't02:47
BigMoopies(the windows partition )02:47
BigMoopiesTheSheep, Was it needed? I skipped it.02:47
TheSheepit's good to do it once in a while, especially after hard reboots or poweroffs02:48
BigMoopiesTheSheep, How do I do it manually ?02:48
TheSheepif you skipped it, it will be done on next boot, afaik02:48
TheSheep!fsck | BigMoopies02:48
ubottuBigMoopies: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot02:48
BigMoopieser wrong window closed, can you try that again02:49
BigMoopies!fsk ?02:50
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about fsk ?02:50
TheSheep!fsck | BigMoopies02:51
ubottuBigMoopies: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually.

BigMoopiesI might as well do it now.  I am gonna be watching WWE for 2 hours02:52
Kangarooopyneighboorhood and gigolo is not helping to connect to network neighborhood03:03
Kangarooois there any easyer programm with witch i can connect to network neighborhood?03:04
bytor4232Jaunty most certainly did break my system!03:36
bytor4232Luckily you guys delivered a solid Beta in Xubuntu.  So far other than a race on the CPU when I change the LCD brightness, its top notch.03:42
Kangarooois there autmated programm to see all my partitions and all network neighorhood computers? on laptop xubuntu?04:11
Kangarooopyneighboorhood and gigolo are bad becouse not automated and manually is not helping to connect to network neighborhood or not working..04:12
zoredachewhat do you mean automated?04:20
Kangarooowell that i only put mount like in ubuntu04:20
Kangaroooubuntu i can mount and see windows shares but xubuntu cant..04:21
Kangaroooautomated like i just want to enable share and i see all shares of others and enable mount partition04:22
gaurdrodoes anyone know if there is a way to manually set the fanspeed on a gateway laptop with xubuntu 8.10?04:23
zoredacheKangarooo: fusesmb will work somewhat for accessing SMB shares04:24
zoredachefor it to work you have to store your passwords in a file on the hard drive...04:25
zoredacheThere is nothing, that is going to deal with both accessing network shares, and local disks...04:25
Kangarooozoredache: i installed but still- what next?04:49

vinnlarchman, yes17:19
archmanhmm, does that means that I will find one on 8.10 reps? (I don't want to upgrade just to have 4.6)17:19
vinnlarchman, nope... But you can install 4.6 on 8.10 already17:20
archmanvinnl, I don't have it in reps...17:20

kustomhey guys im having a problem unmounting20:07
knome!ask | kustom20:08
ubottukustom: 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. :-)20:08
kustomi get a window saying that an unknown error occures20:08
kustom*occured20:08
charlie-tcawhat are you unmounting?20:08
kustomand then the thing gets remounted20:08
kustoman ext-HDD20:08
charlie-tcahas it got more than one partition?20:09
kustomalso, relative drive names seem not to work, so i can unmount /media/disk through the console, but not disk if im in /media20:09
kustomno20:09
kustomits just a storage drive20:09
charlie-tcaTry right-clicking it in Places, then click eject20:10
charlie-tcaIf you are in /media/disk, you are on the drive. It will not allow unmounting a drive you are accessing.20:10
kustomcharlie-tca, im not in /media/disk20:11
charlie-tcaIt is a known issue on unmounting20:11
kustomcould one switch to the ubuntu volume handler?20:11
charlie-tcaSorry, read that wrong.20:11
kustomor will that fix the problem?20:11
charlie-tcaI don't know that one.20:12
charlie-tcaI know my usb drives, if I click unmount, it becomes an endless battle. If I click eject, it works20:13
kustomcharlie-tca, damn, seems like my problem20:13
charlie-tcaIt is reported in launchpad20:14
kustomno soolution?20:14
kustom*solution20:15

kustomhow do i get more desktops, currently i have 220:27
Slonkiein settings>Workspaces, kustom.20:29
kustomSlonkie, found it thx20:30
vinnlRagor, have you tried right-clicking the file and allowing it to execute as a program?20:32
Ragor...no20:33
Ragorit's a .tar.gz ...I have no clue what I'm doing20:34
vinnlRagor, well, then perhaps it's not a good idea to compile stuff20:34
Ragorit says in the instructions that I have to in order to install it20:35
Slonkieyou'll have to unpack it20:35
vinnlRagor, yeah perhaps it's not a good idea to install stuff with an Ubuntu installation file?20:35
vinnlRagor, which application is it?20:35
Ragorrecordmydesktop20:36
vinnlRagor, you can install that with Add/Remove...20:36
RagorO.o really?20:36
vinnlYeah20:36
vinnlOr if not definitely with Synaptic20:36
vinnlI'm away playing Hedgewars for a bit :)20:37
Ragoroh geez I dont even know how to do add/remove20:38
Ragorxubuntu is not easy -.-20:38
Slonkiexubuntu is very easy20:38
vinnlRagor, Applications->System->Add/Remove...20:38
vinnlWell, there's a learning curve with every operating system :)20:38
RagorI dont see add/remove under system20:38
Slonkie9.04?20:39
Ragor6.0620:39
Slonkiewow old one there :P20:39
Ragornewer versions arent compatible with my hard disk20:39
zoredachehave you considered using something more recent?20:39
Ragorso I cant use more recent20:40
vinnlRagor, that's odd... Well then you can use Synaptic Package Manager under System20:44
RagorI don't see that either...20:45
vinnlWhat _do_ you see under System? 0.o20:45
Brad450how can i upgrade my kernel?20:47
Brad450without compiling?20:48
vinnlBrad450, why do you want to do that?20:48
Brad450vinnl, new version20:48
vinnlBrad450, yeah but why do you want *that*?20:48
Brad450vinnl, new support for my hardware20:49
vinnlWell, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until it lands in Ubuntu...20:49
Brad450vinnl, iam running on a Playstation 3 and there was a kernel update released specificly for my hardware allowing acces to WIFI and bluetooth, aswell as blu-ray playback20:51
vinnlIt *might* be in the proposed repo, but I wouldn't count on it20:52
Brad450vinnl, i checked that lol its not. installing a new kernel is it like installing a package?20:52
vinnlIf there is a package available :)20:53
Brad450vinnl, iam running 2.6.25-2-powerpc64-smp. can you do you know where i can find a newer version?20:54
Brad450** erase can***20:55
vinnlBrad450, hmm... Which version of Xubuntu are you running?20:55
Brad4508.1020:55
Brad450vinnl, iam in GNOME (ATM) GNOME - 2.24.120:57
Brad450kernel - 2.6.25-2-powerpc64-smp20:57
vinnlThen why are you in #xubuntu? :P20:58
Brad450like you guys better lol20:58
vinnl:P20:58
vinnl!ps320:58
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about ps320:58
Brad450too lazy to log out and start xfce20:58
vinnl!playstation20:58
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about playstation20:58
RagorI have synaptic package manager open now, I got it running through "run program"...but now I'm not sure what to do from there20:59
Brad450not much different from linux is basicly a 64 bit PPC20:59
vinnlRagor, search for recordmydesktop-gtk20:59
vinnlRagor, I mean gtk-recordmydesktop21:00
vinnlBrad450, have you checked https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuPS3?21:00
Brad450yes21:00
vinnlBrad450, and the #ubuntu-ps3 channel?21:01
Brad450ya21:01
vinnlCause I really wouldn't know how to do it, and I guess most of the people here don't21:01
pleia2yeah, getting a new kernel for the ps3 is outside of the scope of this channel, I'm afraid21:02
jarnosWhere is update-notifier in Xubuntu. there is "Exec=update-notifier" in /etc/xdg/autostart/update-notifier.desktop, but ps aux tell's "update-notifier --sm-config-prefix /update-notifier-i3Z9ue/ --sm-client-id 117f000001000123660336600000081090005 --screen 0" is running.21:03
RagorI dont see it, even through the search option21:03
vinnlRagor, perhaps you first need to click Reload? (Also, I'm getting a creepy feeling that your installation is somehow messed up...)21:05
Ragorit still didnt show up after reload21:08
vinnlAnd if you just Search for recordmydesktop?21:09
Ragorstill nothing21:09
vinnlHmm... Version 6.06 is a long time ago for me, but I'm guessing some repositories aren't enabled or something...21:11
vinnlRagor, ah, Isee21:12
vinnlrecordmydesktop *wasn't* available for 6.0621:12
vinnlHowever, you can try whether the packages from 6.10 work21:12
Ragor...21:13
vinnlRagor, can you try downloading these two files? http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/i386/recordmydesktop/download http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/all/gtk-recordmydesktop/download21:13
Ragorok21:15
Ragorthen just look for it in synaptic package manager?21:18
vinnlRagor, no, then double-click it, I believe that was already possible in 6.0621:20
diavol0Hello21:21
vinnl(Damn that's old...)21:21
vinnl!hi21:21
ubottuHi! Welcome to #xubuntu!21:21
Ragorok it says error, dependency not satisfiable: libasound221:22
vinnlRagor, then you can try to also install this file, if that doesn't work then I'm afraid you're out of luck: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/i386/libasound2/download21:24
Ragorit says sependency is not satisfiable: libc6  =s21:29
vinnlThen you're out of luck :S21:30
Ragorso theres no screen capturing thats gonna work on the computer? =/21:31
vinnlRagor, I see the package 'istanbul' is available for 6.0621:32
Ragorok I'll search for it21:33
RagorI think it's working right now, thanks for all the help21:47
