[00:12] Walzmyn, what does your .dmrc file read ??? [00:19] Walzmyn ? [00:27] 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?? [00:35] where can i change my settings for my system fan temps? it goes to 64/65C before the fan kicks on. thats incredibly dangerous. [00:39] i'd rather leave the fan running non stop but i dont know if that is smart. [00:43] 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] Hey there [00:44] soo... linux! [00:44] !hi | meeesche [00:44] meeesche: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! [00:44] thanks [00:45] is this said "freenode IRC Network"? [00:46] meeesche, yes. [00:46] sweet [00:48] 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?? [00:49] does anyone know of a linux program to map network drives? === boogieman is now known as R1cochet_ [00:50] 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. [00:51] right, the drives usually are accessed by windows. [00:51] for instance: n:\ or s:\ [00:53] since i moved to 9.04 i cant use the volume controls on my hp notebook. anyway that i can restore their function? [00:55] I had a problem with my laptop led lights, and there was a "fix" available via synaptics [00:55] seems like a similar problem [00:56] is synaptics just unusable on live cd? [00:59] :P [01:00] 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] I'm using the nvidia-glx-180 drivers, I have it all configured and set to use a 60hz refresh rate(the highest_ [01:01] err... that was supposed to be 'TV set as second monitor" [01:02] yeason, different ratio resolution maybe? [01:03] perhaps... although it works fine in windows, which is the frustrating thing [01:03] it also doesn't appear to happen 100% of the time... [18:11] hi everyone, this is my first time here, didn't even know there was a xubuntu chan ;p [18:11] wow, a lot more calmer here hehe [18:11] yep welcome [18:11] thx [18:13] 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] so in the future, where can i see what components are using max CPU and max write/read? [18:14] applications - system - system monitor [18:15] 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? [18:17] its xfce menu [18:18] i doubt it's xfce since it says in the 2.26.1 [18:19] r u on xubuntu or ubuntu? [18:19] and strangely enough it says that i have ubuntu, but that's maybe because xubuntu is based on ubuntu? :S [18:19] release 9.04 (jaunty) [18:19] r u on xubuntu or ubuntu? [18:20] u need the menu drop down in the panel right? [18:20] well, that's the strange thing, the wallpaper is 100% xubuntu, but in system monitor it says ubuntu [18:20] yea [18:20] yes they all say ubuntu in sys mon [18:20] rt click on panel add> xfce menu [18:20] ! [18:20] ah, phew, thanx for clearing that up ;p [18:21] let's see, configuring... [18:23] yeah that's exactly what i was looking for, thank you very much, R1cochet_ ! [18:24] np [18:37] Hi [18:37] hi [18:37] hi [18:38] I need to install a flash, I already downloaded it but I don`t know to install it in xubuntu [18:38] How do i do it ? [18:39] anybody can help me ? [18:39] carlis [18:39] you need to go to youtube.com [18:40] ok [18:40] and then ? [18:40] and select a random video, preferably about linus torvalds talking about LIBERTA!!! [18:40] ok sorry [18:40] so you have to view a video [18:40] and there it will say (instead of video) that you don't have the right software [18:40] with a link, you follow that link (leads to adobe) [18:40] I need to install the flash [18:40] noooooooooooo [18:40] yes i know [18:40] xub no [18:40] wat [18:41] carlis [18:41] :S [18:41] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [18:41] oh [18:41] ty raevol [18:41] that's ... a possibility ;p [18:41] xubuntu-restricted-extras [18:41] thats the answer [18:42] damn i just see that my firefox has crashed or else i would google what 'xubuntu-restricted-extras' means [18:42] ok [18:42] there is no package named that, it's just ubuntu-restricted-extras [18:42] Thank you for ur help [18:43] np [18:43] no problem, i'm sorry for the noob-support i was trying to give ;p [18:43] i'm not as an advanced user myself, but am glad to share the knowledge that i've already obtained [18:43] no worries xub, i've just been down that road of tears :) [18:43] umm i have xubuntu-restricted-extras installed [18:44] that exists? [18:44] well, the other works ttoo [18:44] carlis, if you are wondering what it is: [18:44] 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). [18:45] 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. [18:46] 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] lol yes it would [18:46] but u will get to watch a dvd :) [18:47] well actually, this says otherwise: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/xubuntu-restricted-extras [18:48] but i'm gonna use vlc to watch video's so i'm not gonna worry about that anyways :P [18:49] 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] lol [18:51] but vlc doesnt play VCDs and DVDs :S [18:51] why is that [18:52] that's weird, it has to normally... [18:52] (at least on a XP machine) [18:53] u need libdvdread4 [18:53] and libdvdccss2 [18:53] ok xub [18:53] Thank you for ur help [18:53] wow, even for VLC? didn't VLC incorporate all the codecs within itself? [18:54] those r codecs [18:54] not decss [18:54] aah, ok [18:54] of course, for encrypted dvd's [18:54] on xp yes it does [18:55] u have to install lidvdread4 then after that u can install libdvdcss2 [18:55] i meant on xubuntu [18:55] grab it through synaptic [18:55] cool shall do :) [18:55] interesting, learned something again today ^_^ [18:57] * making a persistent USB startup disk * [18:57] * fingers crossed * ;p [18:58] R1cochet: noob query. how do i do it from the terminal? [18:58] cant seem to get the apt get command right :S [18:58] my guess would be apt install ... [18:59] no w8 [18:59] sudo apt-get install [ ... ] [18:59] sudo apt-get install "package" [18:59] ^_^ [18:59] ah yeah the hypen "-" [18:59] :| foolish me :( [18:59] no reason to feel foolish, you must be glad that you're learning :) [18:59] and you're able to learn! [19:00] and so am i [19:00] :D [19:00] (i hope) :P [19:00] okay i get an error: couldnt find package lidvdread4 [19:00] ok let me try [19:01] what version r u on? [19:01] 9.04 jaunty [19:01] it might libdvdread3 for u [19:01] nope then its 4 [19:01] u might need to add the repo [19:01] see if synaptic pulls it up [19:01] same here on the terminal [19:01] i did a "sudo apt-get install lidvdread4" [19:01] and got that msg [19:02] let's see if we get the same thing on the synaptic... [19:02] and how do i do that :P [19:02] absolute noob, please dont mind [19:03] menu > system > synaptic package manager [19:03] apps>system>ssynaptic [19:03] !synaptic [19:03] synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [19:03] it's basically a graphical interface of package installing etc. [19:03] oh yeah yeah, got it [19:03] in the quick search field type in "libdvdread" [19:03] pardon my ignorance [19:04] it should pull it up [19:04] titan, you should see: libdvdread4 - library for reading DVDs [19:04] xub do u have it? [19:05] [installing...] [19:05] libdvdnav4 (version 4.1.3-3) will be installed [19:05] libdvdread4 (version 4.1.3-4ubuntu2) will be installed [19:05] empty :S [19:06] what is empty titan, the search results? [19:06] okay got it [19:06] typo :P [19:07] no prob, go ahead and mark the package for installation and press 'Apply' on the top button bar [19:07] it already seems to be marked! [19:09] 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] libdvdnav4 (version 4.1.3-3) will be installed [19:09] and [19:09] libdvdread4 (version 4.1.3-4ubuntu2) will be installed [19:09] it says it is already installed [19:10] lol so i guess your terminal command worked after all ;p [19:10] tried again in terminal and got this: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [19:10] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [19:11] you could of course re-install it (i think it can be done in the synap)... [19:11] yess [19:11] *yes, can do that [19:12] but what does that "lock" error mean? [19:12] i guess that or the package is still in the install process, or that the package is still in use? [19:12] but tbh, i dunno myself [19:13] hmm [19:13] shall try it l8r :) thanks [19:13] all i know is that i'll have a DAMN hard time figuring out how to turn xubuntu into Ableton Live workhorse ;p [19:14] :O [19:15] but no prob titan, if one seeks insight, one must learn ;) [19:15] well said :D [19:15] and that's exactly what i'll be doing in the next few months (going to do an audio engineering degree) [19:16] so bye bye social life, and hello text, coffee and synthesizers in the endless nights :P [19:16] :D [19:17] goodluck with that [19:17] thanks a lot, will definitely need it :P [19:17] :D [19:17] and you good luck in understanding xubuntu, i'm off to try to see if my persistent install on a USB stick has succeded [19:18] oi oi [19:18] sure [19:18] cya [19:26] Hi [19:27] How do i install a file that end with tar.gz ?? [19:27] who can help me ?? [19:28] charlie-tca can you help me ? [19:28] Hi ???? [19:29] Carlis: what are you trying to install? [19:31] What would I use to remote in to a linux box running gnome? [19:32] depends on what you want to do [19:32] Like VNC [19:33] I am trying to install a flash [19:33] then if you have vnc running on the linux boxen at home, use any vnc client... [19:34] I want to see it in firefox [19:34] in youtube page [19:34] How do i do Myrtti ?? [19:35] !flash | Carlis [19:35] Carlis: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [19:38] now that was an amazing end to the match B) [19:38] oops wrong forum, sorry [19:39] ok [19:39] Thank you for ur help [20:10] Hi [20:10] How do i enable the Third-party software repository ??? [20:11] Go to Applications -> System -> Software Sources [20:11] hi [20:11] wait please [20:11] make sure the first 4 items on Ubuntu Software are checked [20:12] !hi | patrick [20:12] patrick: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! [20:12] when i edited xorg.conf Display modes "1024x768" xubuntu won't fit in the screen [20:12] what is happening [20:12] ? [20:13] 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] patrick: what size screen do you have? [20:14] 15" [20:14] sounds like the DPI might be wrong. Is the text big? [20:14] not really [20:15] try this is a tty or terminal: xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Xft/DPI -s -1 [20:15] ok [20:15] If the fonts are right, you got something wrong with the mode settings [20:17] it says unable to convert "-l" to type "gint" [20:17] charlie-tca: I am trying to do these steps: Enable the Third-party software repository if you have not yet done so. [20:18] Install the package adobe-flashplugin [20:18] Restart your browser. Flash should now work. [20:18] Are you using Synaptic Package Manager? [20:19] I don`t know if i have to use it [20:19] go to this webpage: http://www.mibbit.com/chat/?server=irc.freenode.net&channel=%23xubuntu [20:20] 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] I can't access it. I am not a member of mibbit [20:21] !flash [20:21] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [20:21] is what I use [20:22] You can use Synaptic Package Manager and install flash using flashplugin-nonfree [20:22] It installs it from Adobe [20:22] ok [20:29] It worked charlie-tca [20:29] Great! I am glad you got it. [20:29] Thank yu for ur help charlie-tca [20:29] You are welcome [20:29] Bye Charlie-tca [20:30] Have a good day! [20:35] still cant see the entire screen [20:37] ..... [20:43] when i restored the original xorg.conf the system booted at high resolution [20:44] i edited the xorg.conf to make 1024x768 the resolution everytime the system boots [20:45] hi everyone [20:45] hi [20:45] i have problem but i can't solve [20:50] i cant reset the screen resolution anyone pls help [20:53] hi, can anyone please explain to me how to effectively format my usb stick? [20:53] i'm trying to do it with gparted, but still all my files are there after formats of fat32 and fat16 [21:18] yelloh... anyone here? [21:41] sorry - are you still there, whyme? [21:49] akshayshah: yeah still here... kinda, but i think i've resolved the problem (using mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1) [21:51] so now, after hours upon hours of reading, i'm off to make a USB persistent install and cross every finger i got .... [22:25] how do i stop the session and startup-options windows from being open everytime i restart my machine... [22:25] silly question- i realise... [22:28] Wunderkind: remove everything under .cache/sessions/ [22:29] merci [22:29] Wunderkind: Wunderkind you also may want to update .config/xfce4-session/xfce4-session.rc and set SaveOnExit to false [22:34] how do i remove all the excess apps from the menu list? [22:35] in gnome it's pretty straight forward [23:14] any ideas why i would get a "Permission denied" error when trying to do `crontab -e` ? [23:30] 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 [23:42] hey everybody, [23:42] what's that file you can edit to make windows the default OS with dual boot, and change the time delay and stuff [23:43] /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:46] thank you! [23:46] figured out what my problem was... `chmod g+s /usr/bin/crontab` fixed it [23:47] see yall [23:47] I LOVE YOU [23:47] so much [23:47] pteague: generally I find it is much better to place a cron fragment in /etc/cron.d instead of using crontab -e === NavadeHo is now known as NvdH|Away
