I can get it open when i use the termal and then get to setting and all works.. but as soon as I close the terminal window the panel closes again [03:42] is there a setting file i could delete and reboot to reset it? [03:44] wow the whole room dead? [03:44] DiecastMessiah: try launching it from the alt f2 launcher rather than the terminal [03:44] ohh thanks... way didn't think of that lol [03:44] :) [03:45] SWEET [03:45] worked... going to restart and see if it stays [04:21] hello, I'm a newbie, can anyone pls help me setup my modem on a IBM Thinkpad iSeries 1200?

[08:20] ok i already installed the xubuntu-restricted-extras, now what i have to do with the font i want to install? [08:25] please, anyone? [08:26] <_Pete_> I'm sure anyone will respond when have time/knowledge [08:26] <_Pete_> before that just wait [08:29] i guess, sorry... it seems that forces is busy [08:30] :O [08:31] marcPV, you already have installed ms-fonts [08:31] just use it [08:32] I have a problem with font dpi in xubuntu [08:32] most of my fonts are all of a sudden larger [08:33] thanks anyway but my question is about how to install concrete truetype font [08:33] i have the ttf file and i want to use it [08:34] marcPV, you can install it from repositories [08:34] you dont need a file [08:34] SliMM, edit your xorg.conf [08:34] !xorg | SliMM [08:34] SliMM: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [08:35] the thing is i have to make a document with that ttf file they send to me [08:35] sorry i am totally rookie, how may i use repositories to install it? [08:37] forces: I have restarted X [08:37] no result [08:37] SliMM, not restart [08:38] edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:38] well, there's nothing to edit there [08:38] my resolution is correct [08:38] the font size is wrong [08:38] and this is a problem I have encountered only in xubuntu [08:40] could it be bacause of the ubuntu updates? [08:40] you can edit your font size in xorg.conf [08:42] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne [08:43] "Set Correct Font Size" [08:51] ok i found the way to install fonts on xubuntu from TTF files: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=797173 [08:53] thanks anyway [08:54] now... how can i remove xubuntu-restricted-extras? [08:54] (just kidding) [08:58] u.u [09:00] see u [10:22] hi guys..just installed mythbuntu (with xubuntu desktop). its missing language support anyone care to guide me on how to add it? [10:27] zeltak, hello [10:27] hi [10:27] Go to apps -> system -> Language support [10:28] It should normally notice that you're missing some language packages and offer you to download and install them. [10:28] hmm i dont have these menus [10:28] i have an application menu>system but now language menu [10:29] *no [10:29] open a console and launch "gnome-language-selector" [10:30] it should be there, at least in 8.04/8.10 (probably in other versions too) [10:30] not installed.. i guess ill install these packages [10:31] what i want is to keep english as the main lang. but have other languages support [10:55] this app will check for missing language packages [11:48] hey guys. I'm forwarding an X session via ssh. I am running a program on another computer and I needed to reboot this one, so I ctrl+Z'ed and put the forwarded window in the background with the "bg" command. Now that I rebooted, is there a way to pull that window back up over a new ssh session? [11:50] <_Pete_> I think not without starting the app again over new ssh session [11:51] hrm. well, the app was working when i backgrounded it [11:51] it was encoding a DVD, actually [11:52] <_Pete_> I guess when the forwarded X11 app loses the ssh connection [11:52] <_Pete_> it will terminate [11:52] hrm. i see... [11:53] is there a way to just "detatch" the window (kinda like you can do with the "screen" command) for GUI windows? [11:53] <_Pete_> not any of I know [11:53] <_Pete_> better use freenx for those [11:54] well, I'm not wanting to maintain the ssh connection the entire time [11:54] <_Pete_> freenx is perfect then [11:54] <_Pete_> you cat detach session and reconnect later [11:54] interesting... [11:55] ok. i'll read up on that. Thanks [11:55] <_Pete_> like screen but for whole desktop session [12:54] hi [12:55] guys, is there any way i can determine the computers w/c are connected on me? [12:57] jinggoy, connected how? [13:01] my downloads are getting slower, i'm thinking of other units w/c are connecting on me.. [13:11] how can i change the size of my partitions and create a new one? [13:11] kromar, with parted [13:11] gparted actually is easy [13:12] it only finds qtparted in the add/remove app [13:12] does that work also? [13:12] yes [13:12] but back up stuff before you do anything [13:13] there is also a gnome partition editor and KVPM, which one would you recommend? [13:13] gnome partition editor i believe is GParted [13:14] just checked, it is, do you have a live CD with gparted on it? [13:14] why would i need a cd with it? [13:15] because you cant edit a partition that is in use [13:16] i think xubuntu has gparted [13:16] not totally sure though [13:17] kromar, what do you need the new partition for/ [13:17] well i installed new hardware and windofs doesnt start anymore, so i need a new one to install a new version... [13:18] windows wont start? [13:18] nope blue screen ftw... [13:18] well i changed the mainboard, cpu, gpu.. so might be a problem for it [13:19] no doubt, can you access your windows partition from linux? [13:19] yes [13:20] anything there you need to save? === Roonux__ is now known as Roonux [13:21] you think it would be easier to backup the things i need and format the disk?^ [13:21] kromar, it is hard to say without knowing what is on the disk [13:22] well there are a lot of programms and settings for everything, but i think i have to format it anyway, so no need for an other partition.. [13:23] you will hoever need to reinstall a boot loader [13:27] oh man thats gona be a pain to reinstall:/ [13:35] is there a way to directly delete files without moving them to the trash? [13:35] <_Pete_> press shift while selecting delete from meny [13:36] <_Pete_> or use commandline :) [13:43] or shift+delete [14:01] hi I have two versions of xubuntu installed on two hard drives of the same computer in order to access some files on one of the drives I have made changes to permissions which means that when I log onto the other drive/version my permissions are messed up is there a way to change that ? [14:36] have problems with change made to permissions on a hard drive containing another version of ubuntu [14:53] how do I connect to ppp with xubuntu? I added connection in networkmanager whats now? [14:59] hey there [15:00] anybody here? [15:02] <_Pete_> no [15:02] no [15:02] We're all away, sorry [15:03] (feel free to ask a question, Skizoboy, if anybod knows the answer they'll tell you) [15:03] well [15:04] I have a Xubuntu box I used to use as a NAS [15:04] I only have Macs on this network [15:05] and the Xubuntu box was running 8.04.1 [15:05] last week I installed 9.04 [15:06] and it works great [15:06] but I cant get Netatak to work [15:06] Netatalk* [15:07] I need to know if the new version included in Xubuntu supports encryption [15:08] (Excuse my English BTW, I'm French :) [15:08] Skizoboy, 'apt-cache policy netatalk' to get the version number [15:09] Skizoboy, i don't know the app so i can't help you more. the version should be at least the same that is in intrepid [15:09] 2.0.4 beta 2 [15:09] well it was 2.03 before [15:09] and I remember I had to tweak it [15:10] Skizoboy, so maybe you need to tweak this new version also, if you didn't do an upgrade [15:10] now the tutorial I had used to add SSL support doesn't work anymore [15:10] Skizoboy, try on web.archive.org [15:10] Skizoboy, or google cache [15:10] I still have the instructions [15:11] right [15:11] i have to go now [15:11] but it seems impossible to add SSL to this new version [15:11] i will be back later, if you still need help [15:11] ok, thx :) [15:11] Skizoboy, you can also try #ubuntu, because this is not xubuntu-sepcific [15:11] *specific [15:12] k, thx :) [15:27] Have a problem with changes permissions [16:00] how can I make xubuntu/xfce remember the desired screen resolution? [16:00] it is reset on each reboot [16:28] Hi, all [16:28] ecceberlin, I find out you problem!!!! [16:30] ecceberlin, decision: change file ~/.config/monitors.xml [16:33] Without thanks... Nice [16:36] Ruadh, hi man [16:50] hi guys, having a bit of trouble. trying to run xubuntu 9.04 as a little headless home server, but as soon as i detach the monitor cable it goes into "low graphics mode" on bootup and fails to reach desktop. any ideas? [16:51] dean, Disable X from starting at boot [16:52] yeh i tried that, but when i enter startx it launches a different, I believe standard non-ubuntu branded desktop [16:52] does that make sense? [16:54] I wouldnt worry about it being different but then it ties up my session on ssh and doesnt launch my autostart scripts i setup under the standard default xfce desktop (the xubuntu altered/branded one) [16:58] you can do /etc/init.d/gdm start [17:09] dean, Why do you do detach? Change your xorg.conf May be section "Monitor" has failed [17:10] I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to modify xorg.conf [17:12] Besogon, thanks, I was away for a while [17:12] however, ~/.config/monitors.xml does not exist [17:12] cody-somerville, may be [17:12] and there are correct settings in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml [17:13] but they are ignored [17:16] ecceberlin, I havent that file. ( xfce 4.4.2 was installed after ubuntu gnome). [17:17] ecceberlin, Doesn't work ~/.config/monitors.xml? [17:26] hello is anyone here [17:29] hello [17:31] Can anyone help me? [17:31] i am unable to create launchers [17:34] What do you mean with word launchers (rockets) )) [17:35] oh iam sorry [17:35] i meant a shortcut [17:35] "launcher" [17:36] when i right click on the desktop and select "create launcher" [17:36] can you be more specific? [17:36] a dialog box pops up [17:36] when i type a name for the launcher [17:36] the app just crashes [17:37] eventually i have to use "ln -s" but that's frustrating [17:37] have you tried creating a different name? [17:37] perhaps something simple like blah, foo, bar, or test? [17:39] Sir i cant even type a single letter [17:39] as i write anything in the "name" text box [17:39] the application crashes [17:39] and apport starts [17:39] @ cody, if restarting gdm daemon works that would be ace! I can then simply setup init.d scripts for rtorrent and sabnbd and be doen with! thus saving on X running 24/7 for no reason [17:39] changed permission on second hard drive which also contains aversion of xubuntu and when I log using that version permissions are of course messed up any solution? [17:40] Is this ia a bug in xfce 4.6? [17:40] I don't know, I haven't upgraded yet [17:42] alok_, it works fine with my xfce 4.6 [17:42] "exo-desktop-item-edit crashed with SIGSEGV in strstr()" [17:42] "ln -s" must work whether or no. [17:42] sir this is what apport reports [17:42] " ln-s" works perfectly [17:43] and it lists "nvidia kernel module" as the culprit [17:43] anything to do with graphics driver? [17:45] maybe, it works fine with an intel integrated chipset... maybe nvidia causes the crash [17:47] alok_, hardly. I think if you have problem with video-driver you have trobble in almost all applications. II suggest to find out package for it and reinstall. Sorry I cant help you more. [17:47] just one more thing sir [17:47] i had installed the 173 series nvidia driver [17:48] do you think upgrading to the 180 series will help? [17:50] alok_, I think no. But I have installed 180.44 series driver on my computer. (it seems work fine for me) [17:53] oh its a known problem [17:53] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exo/+bug/288057 [17:53] guess i will have to use thunar [17:54] alok_, Are you from the German? ))) [17:55] no [17:55] i use english india as the default language [17:55] Yes that is very starnge [17:56] it is listed that that bug affects only the german language [17:56] Thanks for the help sirs [17:57] when i create the desktop link from thunar it works [17:57] but now i get an arrow beneath the shortcut icon just like in windows [17:57] how i can remove that arrow? [18:03] alok_, You are from India. I havent that. May be it only in xfce 4.6 you have. I not so experienced user. Sorry [18:06] alok, a more elegant solution would be to write a .desktop file yourself [18:06] you can look at examples in /usr/share/applications [18:06] just create such a file in ~/Desktop [18:15] Thanks ecceberlin [18:15] let me give it a try [18:16] if the application you want to launch, is in /usr/share/applications, you just need to copy the file to ~/Desktop [18:17] bbl [18:20] yes thanks [18:20] it surely works [18:20] great :) [18:24] now that that problem is solved [18:24] can someone tell me how can i get totem to work with oss 4.1 [19:15] hello, i seriously need help! whenever i play a video using vlc or mplayer, sometime during the video i get (any video btw..) at end of my ~/.xsession-errors file THIS http://pastebin.com/m77295d2a [19:15] please help me, it's *really* pissing me off, 'cause it logs me out of xfce and doesnt let me continue watching my videos :( [19:18] you have a fatal error on your Xserver.. [19:18] besides that, I don't know. :/ [19:18] ron_o: yes, i already know that :( [19:18] solution anyone? [19:19] I was being a being sarcastic. [19:19] wicd-client.py [19:19] that's python there. [19:19] run your video in a terminal and maybe you can track down the error there. [19:19] ron_o: it's not just wicd-client [19:19] its many apps [19:19] pipe the output to a file. [19:20] but it's just the video no? [19:20] what do you mean? [19:21] well if it's crashing your system, then you can run your video program in a terminal. That will give you feedback what's going on all the time. But if your system crashes, then what? [19:22] you can run a command and pipe it to any file with the > [19:22] i know, ron_o [19:23] ok, sorry. [19:23] besides that I can't help you. [19:23] i've ran wicd-client using GNU Screen [19:23] but, ill see what will it "produce" when it crashes [19:23] crashing time! *opens some vid* [19:24] anyway, do you have widgets running?

[19:28] ron_o: ill read it [19:29] that's probably not it. [19:29] you have way too many errors. [19:29] not just a few. === esteeven_ is now known as esteeven [19:30] ron_o: but why does xfce log me out :( [19:30] cant vlc/totem just crash alone :'( [19:30] yah, weird. [19:30] that means it's an OS problem. [19:30] << X11 noob [19:31] ron_o: no, DE problem [19:31] ron_o: I had gnome before [19:31] now dont anymore (only xfce) [19:31] because of gnome broken deps in sid atm..etc [19:31] but it never ever happened to me in gnome [19:32] for debugging try to use another window manager just to try to see where it's coming from. [19:32] ron_o: same with OpenBox/LXDE for some reason [19:32] but never on gnome..odd really [19:32] man.. [19:33] so you installed Ubuntu with Gnome and then installed XFCE on top of it? [19:33] ron_o: I've been using Linux for 11 years now and never got such a "weird" situation [19:33] ron_o: yea, multiple-DE's [19:33] never seen it before either. [19:34] I had some problems with that so I know just use Xubuntu. [19:34] too many ubuntu apps want to start automaticlly. [19:37] I'm actually trying to figure out a probelm myself. I'm playing minesweeper and my mouse keeps going nuts when I play it. Only when I play that does it skip and hold and gyrate out of control. [19:37] and usually only when I go really fast. [19:39] ron_o: i think it's dbus problems [19:39] but how to solve it i dont know [19:39] it's a shame that im a linux/unix consulter [19:39] for servers though, and dont know how to solve my own problems [19:40] wow.. [19:41] the desktop is indeed a different ballgame altogether though. don't feel so bad. [19:41] you shouldn't need X11 much. [19:41] * SiDi_unchoked reading what's going on!

[19:50] dep problems...(not ready to explain 'how' i got dep problems but i cant really fix it atm, probably in a week) [19:50] SiDi_unchoked: I use debian unstable :P with ubuntu parts in it [19:50] you installed xorg/xfce from a server install ? [19:51] i call it orgbuntu sometimes, since it's a mixture [19:51] i see.. :P [19:51] SiDi_unchoked: xfce from repo [19:51] anyhow, i guess i should remove that package [19:51] it conflicts with other packages fhs! [19:51] well, you must be missing some packages :P [19:51] but we cant help you on orgbuntu :P [19:52] w00t!
