| jmichaelx | upon log-in, in xubuntu jaunty, i am being met with a good dozen or so error notifications saying, "unable to contact the xfce trash service". would anyone know how this might be corrected?? | 00:27 |
| MTec007 | where can i change my settings for my system fan temps? it goes to 64/65C before the fan kicks on. thats incredibly dangerous. | 00:35 |
| MTec007 | i'd rather leave the fan running non stop but i dont know if that is smart. | 00:39 |
| zoredache | Running it all the time wouldn't hurt as long as you don't mind replacing the fan every 2-3 years... Dunno how to change the settings though. | 00:43 |
| meeesche | Hey there | 00:43 |
| meeesche | soo... linux! | 00:44 |
| zoredache | !hi | meeesche | 00:44 |
| ubottu | meeesche: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! | 00:44 |
| meeesche | thanks | 00:44 |
| meeesche | is this said "freenode IRC Network"? | 00:45 |
| knome | meeesche, yes. | 00:46 |
| meeesche | sweet | 00:46 |
| jmichaelx | upon log-in, in xubuntu jaunty, i am being met with a good dozen or so error notifications saying, "unable to contact the xfce trash service". would anyone know how this might be corrected?? | 00:48 |
| meeesche | does anyone know of a linux program to map network drives? | 00:49 |
| === boogieman is now known as R1cochet_ | ||
| zoredache | meeesche: linux doesn't have drive letters like windows. You mount a network filesystem into the existing folder structure. If you want to access windows shares you probably should be looking at smbfs. | 00:50 |
| meeesche | right, the drives usually are accessed by windows. | 00:51 |
| meeesche | for instance: n:\ or s:\ | 00:51 |
| R1cochet_ | since i moved to 9.04 i cant use the volume controls on my hp notebook. anyway that i can restore their function? | 00:53 |
| meeesche | I had a problem with my laptop led lights, and there was a "fix" available via synaptics | 00:55 |
| meeesche | seems like a similar problem | 00:55 |
| meeesche | is synaptics just unusable on live cd? | 00:56 |
| meeesche | :P | 00:59 |
| yeason | I'm at a loss here... does anybody know why/have solution for clipping when watching movies on a monitor set as secondary monitor? basically I get a horizontal separation in the image aka horizontal clipping | 01:00 |
| yeason | I'm using the nvidia-glx-180 drivers, I have it all configured and set to use a 60hz refresh rate(the highest_ | 01:00 |
| yeason | err... that was supposed to be 'TV set as second monitor" | 01:01 |
| knome | yeason, different ratio resolution maybe? | 01:02 |
| yeason | perhaps... although it works fine in windows, which is the frustrating thing | 01:03 |
| yeason | it also doesn't appear to happen 100% of the time... | 01:03 |
| xub | hi everyone, this is my first time here, didn't even know there was a xubuntu chan ;p | 18:11 |
| xub | wow, a lot more calmer here hehe | 18:11 |
| R1cochet_ | yep welcome | 18:11 |
| xub | thx | 18:11 |
| xub | i have a minor question, just now my CD was spinning mad because i think i started a read-intensive process, the whole system reacted really slow, | 18:13 |
| xub | so in the future, where can i see what components are using max CPU and max write/read? | 18:13 |
| Myrtti | applications - system - system monitor | 18:14 |
| xub | thx, but oh dear, i can't find the applications at the top, and i can't add it with '+add new items' when i right click, how can this be resolved? | 18:15 |
| R1cochet_ | its xfce menu | 18:17 |
| xub | i doubt it's xfce since it says in the 2.26.1 | 18:18 |
| R1cochet_ | r u on xubuntu or ubuntu? | 18:19 |
| xub | and strangely enough it says that i have ubuntu, but that's maybe because xubuntu is based on ubuntu? :S | 18:19 |
| xub | release 9.04 (jaunty) | 18:19 |
| R1cochet_ | r u on xubuntu or ubuntu? | 18:19 |
| R1cochet_ | u need the menu drop down in the panel right? | 18:20 |
| xub | well, that's the strange thing, the wallpaper is 100% xubuntu, but in system monitor it says ubuntu | 18:20 |
| xub | yea | 18:20 |
| R1cochet_ | yes they all say ubuntu in sys mon | 18:20 |
| R1cochet_ | rt click on panel add> xfce menu | 18:20 |
| R1cochet_ | ! | 18:20 |
| xub | ah, phew, thanx for clearing that up ;p | 18:20 |
| xub | let's see, configuring... | 18:21 |
| xub | yeah that's exactly what i was looking for, thank you very much, R1cochet_ ! | 18:23 |

| Carlis | Hi | 18:37 |
| R1cochet_ | hi | 18:37 |
| raevol | hi | 18:37 |
| Carlis | I need to install a flash, I already downloaded it but I don`t know to install it in xubuntu | 18:38 |
| Carlis | How do i do it ? | 18:38 |
| Carlis | anybody can help me ? | 18:39 |
| xub | carlis | 18:39 |
| xub | you need to go to youtube.com | 18:39 |
| Carlis | ok | 18:40 |
| Carlis | and then ? | 18:40 |
| xub | and select a random video, preferably about linus torvalds talking about LIBERTA!!! | 18:40 |
| xub | ok sorry | 18:40 |
| xub | so you have to view a video | 18:40 |
| xub | and there it will say (instead of video) that you don't have the right software | 18:40 |
| xub | with a link, you follow that link (leads to adobe) | 18:40 |
| Carlis | I need to install the flash | 18:40 |
| raevol | noooooooooooo | 18:40 |
| xub | yes i know | 18:40 |
| raevol | xub no | 18:40 |
| xub | wat | 18:40 |
| raevol | carlis | 18:41 |
| xub | :S | 18:41 |
| raevol | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 18:41 |
| xub | oh | 18:41 |
| R1cochet_ | ty raevol | 18:41 |
| xub | that's ... a possibility ;p | 18:41 |
| R1cochet_ | xubuntu-restricted-extras | 18:41 |
| R1cochet_ | thats the answer | 18:41 |
| xub | damn i just see that my firefox has crashed or else i would google what 'xubuntu-restricted-extras' means | 18:42 |
| Carlis | ok | 18:42 |
| raevol | there is no package named that, it's just ubuntu-restricted-extras | 18:42 |
| Carlis | Thank you for ur help | 18:42 |
| raevol | np | 18:43 |
| xub | no problem, i'm sorry for the noob-support i was trying to give ;p | 18:43 |
| xub | i'm not as an advanced user myself, but am glad to share the knowledge that i've already obtained | 18:43 |
| raevol | no worries xub, i've just been down that road of tears :) | 18:43 |
| R1cochet_ | umm i have xubuntu-restricted-extras installed | 18:43 |
| raevol | that exists? | 18:44 |
| raevol | well, the other works ttoo | 18:44 |
| xub | carlis, if you are wondering what it is: | 18:44 |
| xub | Installing this package will pull in support for MP3 playback and decoding, Java runtime environment, Microsoft fonts, Flash plugin, DVD playback, and LAME (to create compressed audio files). | 18:44 |
| xub | Please note that this does not install libdvdcss2, and will not let you play encrypted DVDs. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs. | 18:45 |
| xub | maybe it's best if i do that as well, but seeing as i have a liveCD running it would be pretty useless lol | 18:46 |
| R1cochet_ | lol yes it would | 18:46 |
| R1cochet_ | but u will get to watch a dvd :) | 18:46 |
| xub | well actually, this says otherwise: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/xubuntu-restricted-extras | 18:47 |
| xub | but i'm gonna use vlc to watch video's so i'm not gonna worry about that anyways :P | 18:48 |
| xub | damn, vlc portable is just soo ftw, pack it on your usb, grab your external drive, and watch almost everything at someone else's comp <3 | 18:49 |
| R1cochet_ | lol | 18:49 |
| titan_ark | but vlc doesnt play VCDs and DVDs :S | 18:51 |
| titan_ark | why is that | 18:51 |
| xub | that's weird, it has to normally... | 18:52 |
| xub | (at least on a XP machine) | 18:52 |
| R1cochet_ | u need libdvdread4 | 18:53 |
| R1cochet_ | and libdvdccss2 | 18:53 |
| Carlis | ok xub | 18:53 |
| Carlis | Thank you for ur help | 18:53 |
| xub | wow, even for VLC? didn't VLC incorporate all the codecs within itself? | 18:53 |
| R1cochet_ | those r codecs | 18:54 |
| R1cochet_ | not decss | 18:54 |
| xub | aah, ok | 18:54 |
| xub | of course, for encrypted dvd's | 18:54 |
| titan_ark | on xp yes it does | 18:54 |
| R1cochet_ | u have to install lidvdread4 then after that u can install libdvdcss2 | 18:55 |
| titan_ark | i meant on xubuntu | 18:55 |
| R1cochet_ | grab it through synaptic | 18:55 |
| titan_ark | cool shall do :) | 18:55 |
| xub | interesting, learned something again today ^_^ | 18:55 |
| xub | * making a persistent USB startup disk * | 18:57 |
| xub | * fingers crossed * ;p | 18:57 |
| titan_ark | R1cochet: noob query. how do i do it from the terminal? | 18:58 |
| titan_ark | cant seem to get the apt get command right :S | 18:58 |
| xub | my guess would be apt install ... | 18:58 |
| xub | no w8 | 18:59 |
| xub | sudo apt-get install [ ... ] | 18:59 |
| R1cochet_ | sudo apt-get install "package" | 18:59 |
| xub | ^_^ | 18:59 |
| titan_ark | ah yeah the hypen "-" | 18:59 |
| titan_ark | :| foolish me :( | 18:59 |
| xub | no reason to feel foolish, you must be glad that you're learning :) | 18:59 |
| xub | and you're able to learn! | 18:59 |
| xub | and so am i | 19:00 |
| titan_ark | :D | 19:00 |
| xub | (i hope) :P | 19:00 |
| titan_ark | okay i get an error: couldnt find package lidvdread4 | 19:00 |
| xub | ok let me try | 19:00 |
| R1cochet_ | what version r u on? | 19:01 |
| titan_ark | 9.04 jaunty | 19:01 |
| R1cochet_ | it might libdvdread3 for u | 19:01 |
| R1cochet_ | nope then its 4 | 19:01 |
| R1cochet_ | u might need to add the repo | 19:01 |
| R1cochet_ | see if synaptic pulls it up | 19:01 |
| xub | same here on the terminal | 19:01 |
| titan_ark | i did a "sudo apt-get install lidvdread4" | 19:01 |
| titan_ark | and got that msg | 19:01 |
| xub | let's see if we get the same thing on the synaptic... | 19:02 |
| titan_ark | and how do i do that :P | 19:02 |
| titan_ark | absolute noob, please dont mind | 19:02 |
| xub | menu > system > synaptic package manager | 19:03 |
| R1cochet_ | apps>system>ssynaptic | 19:03 |
| xub | !synaptic | 19:03 |
| ubottu | synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 19:03 |
| xub | it's basically a graphical interface of package installing etc. | 19:03 |
| titan_ark | oh yeah yeah, got it | 19:03 |
| R1cochet_ | in the quick search field type in "libdvdread" | 19:03 |
| titan_ark | pardon my ignorance | 19:03 |
| R1cochet_ | it should pull it up | 19:04 |
| xub | titan, you should see: libdvdread4 - library for reading DVDs | 19:04 |
| R1cochet_ | xub do u have it? | 19:04 |
| xub | [installing...] | 19:05 |
| xub | libdvdnav4 (version 4.1.3-3) will be installed | 19:05 |
| xub | libdvdread4 (version 4.1.3-4ubuntu2) will be installed | 19:05 |
| titan_ark | empty :S | 19:05 |
| xub | what is empty titan, the search results? | 19:06 |
| titan_ark | okay got it | 19:06 |
| titan_ark | typo :P | 19:06 |
| xub | no prob, go ahead and mark the package for installation and press 'Apply' on the top button bar | 19:07 |
| titan_ark | it already seems to be marked! | 19:07 |
| xub | hmm, that's odd, well then go ahead and press Apply then, you should see in the properties that 2 files will be installed | 19:09 |
| xub | libdvdnav4 (version 4.1.3-3) will be installed | 19:09 |
| xub | and | 19:09 |
| xub | libdvdread4 (version 4.1.3-4ubuntu2) will be installed | 19:09 |
| titan_ark | it says it is already installed | 19:09 |
| xub | lol so i guess your terminal command worked after all ;p | 19:10 |
| titan_ark | tried again in terminal and got this: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 19:10 |
| titan_ark | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 19:10 |
| xub | you could of course re-install it (i think it can be done in the synap)... | 19:11 |
| titan_ark | yess | 19:11 |
| titan_ark | *yes, can do that | 19:11 |
| titan_ark | but what does that "lock" error mean? | 19:12 |
| xub | i guess that or the package is still in the install process, or that the package is still in use? | 19:12 |
| xub | but tbh, i dunno myself | 19:12 |
| titan_ark | hmm | 19:13 |
| titan_ark | shall try it l8r :) thanks | 19:13 |
| xub | all i know is that i'll have a DAMN hard time figuring out how to turn xubuntu into Ableton Live workhorse ;p | 19:13 |
| titan_ark | :O | 19:14 |
| xub | but no prob titan, if one seeks insight, one must learn ;) | 19:15 |
| titan_ark | well said :D | 19:15 |
| xub | and that's exactly what i'll be doing in the next few months (going to do an audio engineering degree) | 19:15 |
| xub | so bye bye social life, and hello text, coffee and synthesizers in the endless nights :P | 19:16 |
| titan_ark | :D | 19:16 |
| titan_ark | goodluck with that | 19:17 |
| xub | thanks a lot, will definitely need it :P | 19:17 |
| titan_ark | :D | 19:17 |
| xub | and you good luck in understanding xubuntu, i'm off to try to see if my persistent install on a USB stick has succeded | 19:17 |
| xub | oi oi | 19:18 |
| titan_ark | sure | 19:18 |
| titan_ark | cya | 19:18 |

| Carlis | Hi ???? | 19:28 |
| Myrtti | Carlis: what are you trying to install? | 19:29 |
| craigbass1976 | What would I use to remote in to a linux box running gnome? | 19:31 |
| Myrtti | depends on what you want to do | 19:32 |
| craigbass1976 | Like VNC | 19:32 |
| Carlis | I am trying to install a flash | 19:33 |
| Myrtti | then if you have vnc running on the linux boxen at home, use any vnc client... | 19:33 |
| Carlis | I want to see it in firefox | 19:34 |
| Carlis | in youtube page | 19:34 |
| Carlis | How do i do Myrtti ?? | 19:34 |
| Myrtti | !flash | Carlis | 19:35 |
| ubottu | Carlis: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 19:35 |
| titan_ark_ | now that was an amazing end to the match B) | 19:38 |
| titan_ark_ | oops wrong forum, sorry | 19:38 |
| Carlis | ok | 19:39 |
| Carlis | Thank you for ur help | 19:39 |
| carlis | Hi | 20:10 |
| carlis | How do i enable the Third-party software repository ??? | 20:10 |
| charlie-tca | Go to Applications -> System -> Software Sources | 20:11 |
| patrick | hi | 20:11 |
| carlis | wait please | 20:11 |
| charlie-tca | make sure the first 4 items on Ubuntu Software are checked | 20:11 |
| charlie-tca | !hi | patrick | 20:12 |
| ubottu | patrick: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! | 20:12 |
| patrick | when i edited xorg.conf Display modes "1024x768" xubuntu won't fit in the screen | 20:12 |
| patrick | what is happening | 20:12 |
| patrick | ? | 20:12 |
| charlie-tca | carlis: The second tab should be Third-Party Software. You click add and type or copy and paste the source there and check it | 20:13 |
| charlie-tca | patrick: what size screen do you have? | 20:13 |
| patrick | 15" | 20:14 |
| charlie-tca | sounds like the DPI might be wrong. Is the text big? | 20:14 |
| patrick | not really | 20:14 |
| charlie-tca | try this is a tty or terminal: xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Xft/DPI -s -1 | 20:15 |
| patrick | ok | 20:15 |
| charlie-tca | If the fonts are right, you got something wrong with the mode settings | 20:15 |
| patrick | it says unable to convert "-l" to type "gint" | 20:17 |
| carlis | charlie-tca: I am trying to do these steps: Enable the Third-party software repository if you have not yet done so. | 20:17 |
| carlis | Install the package adobe-flashplugin | 20:18 |
| carlis | Restart your browser. Flash should now work. | 20:18 |
| charlie-tca | Are you using Synaptic Package Manager? | 20:18 |
| carlis | I don`t know if i have to use it | 20:19 |
| carlis | go to this webpage: http://www.mibbit.com/chat/?server=irc.freenode.net&channel=%23xubuntu | 20:19 |
| charlie-tca | It makes it easier to install flash. I don't know what page you are following, but you should be able to check those sources on the first tab and then install flash | 20:20 |
| charlie-tca | I can't access it. I am not a member of mibbit | 20:20 |
| charlie-tca | !flash | 20:21 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 20:21 |
| charlie-tca | is what I use | 20:21 |
| charlie-tca | You can use Synaptic Package Manager and install flash using flashplugin-nonfree | 20:22 |
| charlie-tca | It installs it from Adobe | 20:22 |
| carlis | ok | 20:22 |
| carlis | It worked charlie-tca | 20:29 |
| charlie-tca | Great! I am glad you got it. | 20:29 |
| carlis | Thank yu for ur help charlie-tca | 20:29 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 20:29 |
| carlis | Bye Charlie-tca | 20:29 |
| charlie-tca | Have a good day! | 20:30 |

| patrick | ..... | 20:37 |
| patrick | when i restored the original xorg.conf the system booted at high resolution | 20:43 |
| patrick | i edited the xorg.conf to make 1024x768 the resolution everytime the system boots | 20:44 |
| whyme | hi everyone | 20:45 |
| patrick | hi | 20:45 |

| patrick | i cant reset the screen resolution anyone pls help | 20:50 |
| whyme | hi, can anyone please explain to me how to effectively format my usb stick? | 20:53 |
| whyme | i'm trying to do it with gparted, but still all my files are there after formats of fat32 and fat16 | 20:53 |
| whyme | yelloh... anyone here? | 21:18 |
| akshayshah | sorry - are you still there, whyme? | 21:41 |
| whyme | akshayshah: yeah still here... kinda, but i think i've resolved the problem (using mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1) | 21:49 |
| whyme | so now, after hours upon hours of reading, i'm off to make a USB persistent install and cross every finger i got .... | 21:51 |
| Wunderkind | how do i stop the session and startup-options windows from being open everytime i restart my machine... | 22:25 |
| Wunderkind | silly question- i realise... | 22:25 |
| zoredache | Wunderkind: remove everything under .cache/sessions/ | 22:28 |
| Wunderkind | merci | 22:29 |
| zoredache | Wunderkind: Wunderkind you also may want to update .config/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc and set SaveOnExit to false | 22:29 |
| Wunderkind | how do i remove all the excess apps from the menu list? | 22:34 |
| Wunderkind | in gnome it's pretty straight forward | 22:35 |
| pteague | any ideas why i would get a "Permission denied" error when trying to do `crontab -e` ? | 23:14 |
| atisandev | Hello! Can anybody give me a hand with synaptics driver. I want to do a horizontal scroll with no extra applications. Only configuring the driver. Now I have two finger vertical scroll by default with xubuntu 9.04 | 23:30 |
| meeeshka | hey everybody, | 23:42 |
| meeeshka | what's that file you can edit to make windows the default OS with dual boot, and change the time delay and stuff | 23:42 |
| zoredache | /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:43 |
| meeeshka | thank you! | 23:46 |
| pteague | figured out what my problem was... `chmod g+s /usr/bin/crontab` fixed it | 23:46 |
| meeeshka | see yall | 23:47 |
| meeeshka | I LOVE YOU | 23:47 |
| meeeshka | so much | 23:47 |
| zoredache | pteague: generally I find it is much better to place a cron fragment in /etc/cron.d instead of using crontab -e | 23:47 |
