[00:01] tmurase: any insights? [00:06] the /tmp/orbit- messages are essentially permissions problems. You should fix those, but it's odd that they're occurring [00:07] I don't see anything fatal in your error log [00:09] ... [00:09] Well, I guess I'm going to have to do some more digging. [00:10] I wish everything was as it was in the earlier days of linux: you had everything for your user, and all the individual desktops in their own .file [00:10] that way, kde3 and kde4 would have separate hierarchies, and could exist together, and my xfce4 would have .xfce4 and there wouldn't be any cross-folder nonsense [00:11] It could be that X is just hanging on some weird program that the saved x session is expecting, too [00:12] I appreciate the assistance, tmurase. Thank you [00:12] Well, I"m going to check something...bye for now [00:12] :) thanks again [00:14] hi yaw does anybody know how to put icons on the desktop [00:25] is there anythign that i can do to order the icons in xfce 4.6? [00:25] on the desktop. [00:35] so, xubuntu has thoroughly annoyed me today [00:35] can't even get past the annoying screen with the stupid rodent like thing and the bluish background.... [00:36] why? you ask...who knows why... [00:37] Wunderbar, the screen with the loading bar? [00:38] it's the one after you've selected your session...no loading bar in my config [00:38] but it's really, really annoying [00:38] there's absolutely no reason why it should be misbehaving [00:39] it was working this morning and no settings have been changed since then [00:39] so you get to the point where you enter your name and password? [00:39] so you get to the point where you enter your name and password? Wunderbar [00:40] I get past that, I enter my details and then I get a flash screen of sorts...then a flash screen [00:40] then....flash screen [00:41] your /home directory is probably over quota [00:41] it flickers black at the point when it would normally show my delightful desktop, then...flash screen [00:41] get to a tty and run "df" [00:41] idgi- Im not that smart- you going to have to explain as plainly as possible... [00:42] ctr + alt + f2 key combination will take you to tty2 [00:42] put in your user name and password [00:42] type "df" [00:43] check your avalable disk-space your your /home partition [00:43] if its 98% or more, you over quota [00:45] Wunderbar, any luck there? [00:46] * vidd gets this when he downloads alot of stuff and uses up all his hard drive space [00:47] alls well and good untilyou restart [00:48] welcome back Wunderbar [00:48] hey vidd, could you repeat what you were saying vis-a-vis tty2? [00:48] can you get into tty2? [00:48] yah [00:49] what do I do from there? [00:49] type "df" (no quotes of course) [00:49] and if Im over 98 percent then I delete crap.... [00:49] well, Im not [00:49] now way [00:50] so thenext step is to make sure you own your home directory [00:50] explain, please [00:51] if your home directory is /home/wunderbar then type "sudo chown -Rf wunderbar:wunderbar /home/wunderbar" [00:53] and that should enable me to log into the xubuntu set up that had no problems earlier, but suddenly became uncooperative? [00:54] yeah....if you somehow took away your ownership of your home diectory [00:54] -- r is an invalid option... [00:54] try it [00:54] the r is cappital [00:55] and it -Rf ... not --Rf [00:55] silly me [00:55] no worries === efjc_ is now known as efjc [00:57] Wunderbar, any luck? [00:57] uh, got side tracked... [00:58] cannot access /home/wunderbar/.gvfs? [00:58] Wunderbar, did you "sudo" that command? [00:58] :(, yes [01:00] Ill sort it in the am [01:00] I'm pretty tired [01:00] thanks [01:00] just "sudo rm /home/wunderbar/.gvfs [01:01] lol - now it's telling me that sudo/home/wunderbar/.gvfs is a directory... [01:02] Wunderbar, ooppss.... rm -Rf [01:02] denied :( [01:02] srsly, we'll try again tomorrow... [01:03] we can beat this pesky thing... [01:03] Wunderbar, this would mean that you are somehow in RO mode (read only) [01:03] because sudo = god [01:04] :( [01:04] I fail at computers...and life :( [01:05] Wunderbar, you are not a failure [01:05] you use linux =] [01:06] :D [01:09] im just having trouble networking ubuntu 8.04 and xubuntu 8.04 [01:10] Wunderbar, did you add anything strange befor you last logged out? [01:10] nope...not a thing...i was using open office this morning [01:11] then I didn't use my machine for 5-6 hours [01:11] then, poof [01:11] have you rebooted since you last logged in? [01:12] yep [01:12] im out of ideas =\ [01:12] likewise...i'm sure it will sort itself out... [01:13] usually does where Im concerned [01:13] oh...have you run updates? [01:13] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [01:14] in command line (tty2) [01:14] since you cant get into your desktop [01:14] Wunderbar, we know your system is not totally fubar'd cuzz you can log into tty [01:15] well, at least I have that much...i can still log into other sessions just not xfce [01:15] which I was quite enjoying [01:16] so...then the issue is the session [01:16] that makes all the difference! [01:16] did I not say that before...silly me [01:17] okay, so what I should I be looking to do to rectify? [01:17] you probably did....and i misunderstood [01:18] hi wunderbar I just like to know the problem you have with xubuntu [01:19] you should be able to remove your ~/.config/xfce4 file, and then when you log in again, it will be rebuilt [01:19] well, can't log into my xfce session, it allows me to enter the password, then I get the flash screen, then at the point when it would usually show my desktop I get a black flicker, then flash screen [01:20] right.... [01:20] so if you delete the session, then the session will be rebuilt [01:20] can you get to terminal [01:20] yep [01:21] delete session...what's the best way? [01:21] have you try dpkg-reconfigure [01:22] I got stuck in log in once and no desktop on ubuntu before [01:22] Wunderbar, your sessions are saved in ~/.cache/sessions [01:23] xfce-session-wunderbar:0.bak [01:23] xfce-session-wunderbar:0 [01:23] Wunderbar, try deleting them both [01:23] * vidd has to go.... [01:24] ill be leaving the window open though [01:24] how would I go about getting a new xfce session? [01:24] Wunderbar, delete those sessions [01:24] when you log in, then a new one will be made [01:24] done, and done... [01:24] merci [01:24] you in? [01:26] Wunderbar, you good now? [01:30] how do you update with commandline [01:30] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [01:30] thanks [01:31] or do you mean upgrade? [01:31] no just update [01:31] there ya go then [01:31] =] [01:32] others prefer aptitude over apt-get [01:32] i am running bare minamum system [01:32] hey. anyone here use windows as a secondary os ? I was just curious what (if there is a command like this ) does cal show in command shell ? [01:32] both are installed by default [01:34] artistxe, windows cmd is not so sophisticated [01:34] vidd . I know. I was curious though [01:34] "file not found" [01:34] so no calendar command either I suppose [01:35] vidd i do not have aptitude installed [01:36] wow...how did you manage to do that? [01:36] what distro are you running? [01:36] found a article on distrowatch explained whole thing [01:36] i am running xubuntu 9.04 [01:37] ok...so what distobution did you get? [01:37] if you are running any debian-based distro, then you have apt-get and aptitude [01:37] i installed using alternative cd [01:37] where is aptitude at then [01:38] if you install a commandline system then add desktop you do not have aptititude [01:39] is the system already installed and rebooted? [01:39] yeah [01:39] then you have aptitude [01:39] ubuntu-minimal depends on it [01:39] and therefore will not install without it [01:39] when i updated it did not ask me to restart [01:40] if you dont want to use it, thats fine [01:40] but dont spread lies [01:40] you dont need to restart when you update [01:40] i did not restart i miss understood you [01:40] you only need to reboot after you first install [01:41] so the install disk is still in the drive? [01:41] no [01:41] so you rebooted then since install? [01:42] when i installed i had to contol alt del to reboot cause it was command line system [01:42] if aptitude is here in operating system can you tell me where it is [01:43] i really dont understand the question [01:43] is aptitude the thing that tells you when they are updates [01:43] its in the same place as apt-get [01:43] no...that is update-manager [01:44] i have no update manager installed [01:44] aptitude is a command line tool, just like apt-get [01:44] customer, that is fine...you still have aptitude installed [01:45] customer, so, do you have any other questions? [01:45] well i have never used it because i have always used apt-get [01:45] thanks for help [01:45] ashave i....i just stated that aptitude was a popular alternative to apt-get [02:36] Hey. Long time ubuntu user. New to xubuntu. [02:36] I'm having a problem starting conky when I boot [02:36] does anyone know how to organaze the desktop icons in 4.6?

[14:57] I'm running 64bit 9.04 at the moment.. I have a core 2 quad, and it seems as though only one core at a time is being used. Why would that be? [14:57] wonder if I need an smp kernel.. [15:05] J_Litewski, why would you want to add a package to synaptic? [15:05] J_Litewski, why not just make a .deb? [15:06] wilsonj, i just want to know if it can be done :) [15:07] my project is still nowhere close to be on synaptic [15:10] Okay, that is better. Could not remember in finch how to list users on the side...*whew* [15:45] I'm having problem playing flash movies, i'm able to play them at youtube, but when i go anywhere else (like facebook, i can't play any of those). anyone know a way to fix this? [15:46] I'm using flashplugin-nonfree [15:49] Slonkie, you running 64 bit or 32 bit and what version of Xubuntu? [15:51] 32bit and i'm in Jaunty [16:11] Slonkie, are you running any plugins like AdBlock? [16:12] yes adblock plus [16:13] SLonkie, that may be your problem [16:13] do you have filterset-g installed too? [16:14] I would try to temporarily disable adblock and try FB again [16:14] That would confirm it [16:14] No [16:14] I did try that, it doesn't help :( [16:14] Running any other privacy/anti-ad plugins, Slonkie? [16:15] Nope [16:16] I have "shockwave flash" Is this right? :/ [16:16] Slonkie, try renaming the .mozilla file and try again [16:17] that's in your ~/ directory [16:17] what exacly should i try agian? [16:18] Slonkie, i had problems with flash before, i renamed my .mozilla folder in my ~/ directory and flash worked [16:18] what should i rename it to? [16:18] .mozilla-bkp [16:21] No diden't help either. [16:22] J_Litewski, flash player installs exactly in that dir. If you rename that you have to install Adobe fkash player again. In my opinion [16:22] ah [16:22] ok [16:27] i wonder if theres an alternative to flashplugin-nonfree? [16:28] Slonkie, there is, but if the offical plugin doesn't work atm, then the others will not work very well [16:30] * genii gnaws on gnash [16:33] I use flash plagin from Adobe. And it satisfy. [16:33] for me [16:41] does it show in firefox in addons, Besogon ? [16:44] Slonkie, no. I downloaded it from official site. (Adobe.com) they have version for linux. (it not hard to install it) [16:45] all right Besogon. [16:45] well i'm trying, just gonna reboot now [16:48] damn [16:48] i can't seem to make it work :( [16:49] Did you compile it you self, Besogon ? [16:49] Or did you use the .deb?

You know English better than I.It is important to read information when the installer is working. [16:53] what did you do? [16:54] http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/productinfo/instructions/ [16:55] You wont compile any files. Installer will copy what it need in a right dir. not hard [16:57] Well it doesn't work unfortunaitly [16:58] Slonkie, What does not work exactly? [16:59] adobe flash plugin [16:59] Hi all [17:01] Slonkie, Have you installed driver for graphic card?

[19:06] apart from that, xubuntu feels a bit laggy, which it didnt b4 [19:32] i narrowed down the problem: after a resolution change my wallpaper gets displayed with inverted colors and it stays like this until i do a reboot. [19:34] kora, are you on a laptop? [19:34] yep [19:34] does it go away if you press Fn+F3 when your desktop inverts colors? [19:35] i have a problem like yours, but thats when i'm trying to do a dual monitor setup [19:35] it funks up my colors on startup [19:35] ill try it, although i think the button just does a "xrandr --auto" [19:36] second ill try it [19:36] a simple Fn+F3 fixes it for me [19:36] but i also have a SiS videocard too (which epically fails) [19:37] for it only switches on the lcd on the laptop [19:38] thats what it does on mine too [19:38] but it fixes my inverted colors [19:38] sadly it doesnt work for me ^^ [19:38] is your dualscreen setup with xrandr? [19:38] hmm [19:38] no, dual screen doesn't work for me [19:38] ah k i c [19:39] i get the same screen on two different monitors [19:39] maybe here its the intel gma driver wich is still kinda buggy in jaunty [19:39] maybe [19:42] hm im really thinking of going back to 8.10,... seems like 9.04 still has some major flaws [19:44] use LTS [19:46] lts?

[20:19] is there anyway of finding out what i've installed? i was stupidly installing without taking much note (stupid i know). and how to i reinstall the xfce4 panel?
