[00:24] hey guys i have a question...i really need help with this, ive downloaded a copy of xubuntu for the xbox1 console, the keyboard layout is for german i think, is there any way to change this to USA ??? [00:35] lilkuz: I can give it a shot. Click Applications-->System-->Language Support [00:37] then in the drop down menu, click on English (or maybe Inglish) United States [00:38] then click OK, and restart your computer [00:44] jason thanks for the help but i think i need to edit this "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" and save it [01:00] hiya, I have an issue: Swiftweasel will not execute on my computer: http://ompolicy.altervista.org/ubuntu/index.php?dir=intrepid/&file=swiftweasel-3.0.8-intel-pgo_x86_ubuntu.deb [01:10] Is there a place with all the old versions of xubuntu? [01:17] anyone here ever use anything like expose for linux that works well with xfce? [01:50] I am having trouble installing a logitech webcam to use for skype on xubuntu [01:51] anyone have a solution? [02:46] Hello, 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 WindowsXP [02:47] it is like chkdsk, but it shouldn't be running on windows partitions [02:47] yeah, skip that. It isn't [02:47] (the windows partition ) [02:47] TheSheep, Was it needed? I skipped it. [02:48] it's good to do it once in a while, especially after hard reboots or poweroffs [02:48] TheSheep, How do I do it manually ? [02:48] if you skipped it, it will be done on next boot, afaik [02:48] !fsck | BigMoopies [02:48] BigMoopies: 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 reboot [02:49] er wrong window closed, can you try that again [02:50] !fsk ? [02:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about fsk ? [02:51] !fsck | BigMoopies [02:51] BigMoopies: 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 reboot [02:52] I might as well do it now. I am gonna be watching WWE for 2 hours [03:03] pyneighboorhood and gigolo is not helping to connect to network neighborhood [03:04] is there any easyer programm with witch i can connect to network neighborhood? [03:36] Jaunty most certainly did break my system! [03:42] Luckily 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. [04:11] is there autmated programm to see all my partitions and all network neighorhood computers? on laptop xubuntu? [04:12] pyneighboorhood and gigolo are bad becouse not automated and manually is not helping to connect to network neighborhood or not working.. [04:20] what do you mean automated? [04:20] well that i only put mount like in ubuntu [04:21] ubuntu i can mount and see windows shares but xubuntu cant.. [04:22] automated like i just want to enable share and i see all shares of others and enable mount partition [04:23] does anyone know if there is a way to manually set the fanspeed on a gateway laptop with xubuntu 8.10? [04:24] Kangarooo: fusesmb will work somewhat for accessing SMB shares [04:25] for it to work you have to store your passwords in a file on the hard drive... [04:25] There is nothing, that is going to deal with both accessing network shares, and local disks... [04:49] zoredache: i installed but still- what next? [04:50] !fusesmb [04:50] fusesmb is a tool that allows easy access to shared folders (smb) on a network. Links with more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb === nano is now known as aim_nano [08:10] guys [08:33] hi === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache [10:03] morning :) [10:03] mornign [10:03] morning [10:47] What mediaplayer do you guys use? kinda having trouble finding one which i like :/ [10:51] Slonkie, listen [11:16] vlc [12:08] Anyone out there help me make network manager icon appear on my desktop. [13:08] Anyone know how to make java work in firefox in 9.04? [13:40] Slonkie, install the sun-java6-plugin ? [13:40] i did but apperantly not working [13:40] works here =) [13:45] the plugin doesn't even show up in firefox :/ [14:03] What do i do if a cat. in Applications disappears ? [14:04] It's "Others" which seems to disappear sometimes :S [14:33] hi [14:34] Hi Ruadh [14:35] Slonkie, how's things? [14:35] good i guess [14:35] me too [14:35] :) [14:35] experiencing miner bugs [14:35] minor* [14:35] Where? [14:36] well. in application for instance.. the cat "Others" just disappears sometimes [14:36] I suppose there will be wee bugs for some time [14:36] then i logout and login and it's back there [14:37] Slonkie, have you sent any bug reports? [14:38] 2 [14:38] good [14:38] I've sent 1 [14:38] They'll soon get ironed out [14:38] :P [14:39] ...which reminds me - maybe I'll have to try and see whether the bug that prevents me from installing 9.04 has disappeared [14:39] Slonkie, Have you tried Debian? [14:39] I'm running debian on an external server of mine [14:40] Never tried it with an interface [14:40] I have debian runing on my win xp machine [14:40] Its a good distro [14:42] a bit harder than xubuntu/ubuntu i've been told [14:43] Ubuntu is a good start for beginers [14:45] I started with suse 6.1 [14:45] suse is far too resource hungry [14:46] today [14:54] later [14:58] does xubuntu 9.04 really come with built in madwifi drivers? [15:02] Slonkie, Yes [15:02] i;m using those drivers for my wifi card on my eee pc [15:02] That's really cool [15:03] 904 works out-of-the-box with the eee, shame the intel drivers are not rdy yet and the wifi on/off function key does not work [15:54] noo then === freego is now known as forces === cerrdor_ is now known as Cerrdor [17:18] hello [17:18] Will 9,04 come with xfce 4.6? [17:19] archman, yes [17:19] hmm, does that means that I will find one on 8.10 reps? (I don't want to upgrade just to have 4.6) [17:20] archman, nope... But you can install 4.6 on 8.10 already [17:20] vinnl, I don't have it in reps... [17:20] you mean via ppa? [17:20] archman, yes, I'm looking it up [17:21] I tried it [17:21] All I got was a black screen. :-/ [17:21] But...? [17:21] :S [17:21] Hmm... [17:21] Any thoughts? [17:21] archman, which PPA did you use? [17:21] Maybe I did something wrong... [17:21] Can you tell me the name of the guy that does the packaging [17:21] I'll recall then [17:22] wait...i'm looking [17:23] https://launchpad.net/~jerome-guelfucci/+archive/ppa/+build/890167 [17:23] vinnl ^ [17:23] this? [17:23] I was trying this [17:23] You? [17:24] (I didn't install xubuntu, I'm ubuntu user, but switched to xfce4 recently) [17:24] Yeah I guess that's the one, I thought it was also in the xubuntu-dev PPA but that's only an alpha release [17:24] vinnl, so you're not using 4.6? [17:24] archman, no, I wanted to upgrade to 9.04 but it doesn't work :( [17:25] shit... [17:25] archman, you might ask the creator if he gets online on IRC, he is online in this channel now and then under the name 'jeromeg' :) [17:25] awesome, thanks! [17:26] vinnl, so you're still using 4.4.2 too? [17:26] I read that there are some major improvements on 4.6 :-/ [17:26] Yeah and yeah :) [17:27] I'd love to switch but the LiveCD doesn't work, unfortunately :( [17:27] How come that livecd doesn't work ?!? [17:27] beta jaunty? [17:27] Yeah, it always freezes a few seconds after it's started up, with my Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock lights flashing [17:28] :D [17:28] I just downloaded today's daily build and am going to try that, but I'm not expecting much improvement... [17:28] I guess I'll do that now, and then dinner time, so... Bye :) [17:28] bye! ;) [17:28] thanks for chatting [20:07] hey guys im having a problem unmounting [20:08] !ask | kustom [20:08] kustom: 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] i get a window saying that an unknown error occures [20:08] *occured [20:08] what are you unmounting? [20:08] and then the thing gets remounted [20:08] an ext-HDD [20:09] has it got more than one partition? [20:09] also, relative drive names seem not to work, so i can unmount /media/disk through the console, but not disk if im in /media [20:09] no [20:09] its just a storage drive [20:10] Try right-clicking it in Places, then click eject [20:10] If you are in /media/disk, you are on the drive. It will not allow unmounting a drive you are accessing. [20:11] charlie-tca, im not in /media/disk [20:11] It is a known issue on unmounting [20:11] could one switch to the ubuntu volume handler? [20:11] Sorry, read that wrong. [20:11] or will that fix the problem? [20:12] I don't know that one. [20:13] I know my usb drives, if I click unmount, it becomes an endless battle. If I click eject, it works [20:13] charlie-tca, damn, seems like my problem [20:14] It is reported in launchpad [20:14] no soolution? [20:15] *solution [20:15] none yet except to eject using terminal [20:19] I need help with something really basic, I'm trying to compile a program but every time I type what's in the instructions to type, it's saying the file doesnt exist [20:27] how do i get more desktops, currently i have 2 [20:29] in settings>Workspaces, kustom. [20:30] Slonkie, found it thx [20:32] Ragor, have you tried right-clicking the file and allowing it to execute as a program? [20:33] ...no [20:34] it's a .tar.gz ...I have no clue what I'm doing [20:34] Ragor, well, then perhaps it's not a good idea to compile stuff [20:35] it says in the instructions that I have to in order to install it [20:35] you'll have to unpack it [20:35] Ragor, yeah perhaps it's not a good idea to install stuff with an Ubuntu installation file? [20:35] Ragor, which application is it? [20:36] recordmydesktop [20:36] Ragor, you can install that with Add/Remove... [20:36] O.o really? [20:36] Yeah [20:36] Or if not definitely with Synaptic [20:37] I'm away playing Hedgewars for a bit :) [20:38] oh geez I dont even know how to do add/remove [20:38] xubuntu is not easy -.- [20:38] xubuntu is very easy [20:38] Ragor, Applications->System->Add/Remove... [20:38] Well, there's a learning curve with every operating system :) [20:38] I dont see add/remove under system [20:39] 9.04? [20:39] 6.06 [20:39] wow old one there :P [20:39] newer versions arent compatible with my hard disk [20:39] have you considered using something more recent? [20:40] so I cant use more recent [20:44] Ragor, that's odd... Well then you can use Synaptic Package Manager under System [20:45] I don't see that either... [20:45] What _do_ you see under System? 0.o [20:47] how can i upgrade my kernel? [20:48] without compiling? [20:48] Brad450, why do you want to do that? [20:48] vinnl, new version [20:48] Brad450, yeah but why do you want *that*? [20:49] vinnl, new support for my hardware [20:49] Well, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until it lands in Ubuntu... [20:51] vinnl, 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 playback [20:52] It *might* be in the proposed repo, but I wouldn't count on it [20:52] vinnl, i checked that lol its not. installing a new kernel is it like installing a package? [20:53] If there is a package available :) [20:54] vinnl, iam running 2.6.25-2-powerpc64-smp. can you do you know where i can find a newer version? [20:55] ** erase can*** [20:55] Brad450, hmm... Which version of Xubuntu are you running? [20:55] 8.10 [20:57] vinnl, iam in GNOME (ATM) GNOME - 2.24.1 [20:57] kernel - 2.6.25-2-powerpc64-smp [20:58] Then why are you in #xubuntu? :P [20:58] like you guys better lol [20:58] :P [20:58] !ps3 [20:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about ps3 [20:58] too lazy to log out and start xfce [20:58] !playstation [20:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about playstation [20:59] I have synaptic package manager open now, I got it running through "run program"...but now I'm not sure what to do from there [20:59] not much different from linux is basicly a 64 bit PPC [20:59] Ragor, search for recordmydesktop-gtk [21:00] Ragor, I mean gtk-recordmydesktop [21:00] Brad450, have you checked https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuPS3? [21:00] yes [21:01] Brad450, and the #ubuntu-ps3 channel? [21:01] ya [21:01] Cause I really wouldn't know how to do it, and I guess most of the people here don't [21:02] yeah, getting a new kernel for the ps3 is outside of the scope of this channel, I'm afraid [21:03] Where 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] I dont see it, even through the search option [21:05] Ragor, perhaps you first need to click Reload? (Also, I'm getting a creepy feeling that your installation is somehow messed up...) [21:08] it still didnt show up after reload [21:09] And if you just Search for recordmydesktop? [21:09] still nothing [21:11] Hmm... Version 6.06 is a long time ago for me, but I'm guessing some repositories aren't enabled or something... [21:12] Ragor, ah, Isee [21:12] recordmydesktop *wasn't* available for 6.06 [21:12] However, you can try whether the packages from 6.10 work [21:13] ... [21:13] Ragor, can you try downloading these two files? http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/i386/recordmydesktop/download http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/all/gtk-recordmydesktop/download [21:15] ok [21:18] then just look for it in synaptic package manager? [21:20] Ragor, no, then double-click it, I believe that was already possible in 6.06 [21:21] Hello [21:21] (Damn that's old...) [21:21] !hi [21:21] Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! [21:22] ok it says error, dependency not satisfiable: libasound2 [21:24] Ragor, 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/download [21:29] it says sependency is not satisfiable: libc6 =s [21:30] Then you're out of luck :S [21:31] so theres no screen capturing thats gonna work on the computer? =/ [21:32] Ragor, I see the package 'istanbul' is available for 6.06 [21:33] ok I'll search for it [21:47] I think it's working right now, thanks for all the help [21:47] \o/ === Flare183_ is now known as Flare183 [23:13] Im mounting a GEEXBOX thin client server using xubuntu, all other stuff is working great but nfs shares is the weak point on this [23:14] additional info: *************************************** [23:14] cat /etc/exports [23:14] /var/lib/tftpboot/GEEXBOX 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0(ro) [23:14] **************************************************************************************** [23:14] cat /etc/hosts.allow [23:14] ALL: ALL [23:14] ****************************************** [23:14] sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start [23:14] * Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon... exportfs: /etc/exports [1]: Neither 'subtree_check' or 'no_subtree_check' specified for export "192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0:/var/lib/tftpboot/GEEXBOX".
