| iliketofrolic666 | how do I give xubuntu a constant LAN ip from my router? | 01:29 |
| SiDi | depends | 01:32 |
| SiDi | you can set a static ip on your router's DHCP server's config | 01:33 |
| SiDi | (easiest way for home networks) | 01:33 |
| SiDi | or you can remove the DHCP server and make a static ip config in /etc/network/interfaces | 01:33 |

| dylan_ | hi, I am trying to use dolphin in xfce, (xubuntu). It was in xubuntu's add/remove programs list so I installed it. But when I run Dolphin, I get error "could not start process, could not launch klauncher, the name org.kde.klauncher was not provided by any .service files" | 05:38 |
| dylan_ | is it possible to run kde 4 apps in xubuntu 9.04 ? | 05:49 |
| Rakko | I just installed Jaunty on an Athlon64. WindowMaker crashes on me. Anyone know about this? | 06:07 |
| Rakko | It had a segfault/sig 11 | 06:10 |
| dylan_ | how do I get klauncher in Xubuntu 9.04 ? | 06:12 |
| Rakko | do you have KDE installed, dylan_ ? | 06:16 |
| dylan_ | how come any kde 4 apps I run (even though I installed kde), give me errror saying could not launch klauncher ? I run Xubuntu 9.04, and both kde , and dolphin are in apt-cache search | 06:24 |
| Rakko | ugh | 06:26 |
| Rakko | just because they're in apt-cache search doesn't mean they're installed | 06:26 |
| dylan_ | Rakko, sorry, I did apt-get install them after that | 06:27 |
| Rakko | ok | 06:27 |
| Rakko | not sure | 06:28 |
| dylan_ | also: its says could not talk to klauncher | 06:28 |

| genii | Slonkie: The packages.ubuntu.com site indicates if you are on a 64 bit box, the package name will instead be ia32-libs and not libcups2-dev but otherwise same principle applies of --reinstall | 15:49 |

| andrewlondonnewb | Hi, can someone offer a newbie advice on my messy graphics on screen? A | 18:41 |
| SiDi | Heya. Whats wrong with it, exactly, andrewlondonnewb ? | 18:43 |
| andrewlondonnewb | Hi SiDi. I have just installed Xubuntu on an old Dell X200 laptop. The windows and icons get jumbled and the fonts are odd looking. Also the screen has fuzzy strips left if a window is moved. I have tweeked the screen settings as some are really bad. Wondering if the video driver is wrong somehow. | 18:46 |
| SiDi | What is the resolution of your screen, andrewlondonnewb ? | 18:50 |
| SiDi | The best resolution supported by your hardware. And also, what graphics card does it have ? | 18:50 |
| andrewlondonnewb | screen is xga 12.1" LCD. Not sure what the video card is. Its a lightweight laptop not a desktop. Will try to look in documentation to find out. | 18:53 |
| Pie` | Hi, I installed Xubuntu yesterday using Wubi but it didn't seem to boot it gave me an error, something along the lines of "path must be absolute" but anyways I know want to uninstall Xubuntu using Wubi but it won't let me, it gives me "An error occured: Permission denied removing E:\ubuntu\install\boot\grub For more information, please see the log file: C:\docume~1\alex\locals~1\temp\wubi-9.04-rev129.log" | 19:24 |
| Pie` | How could I fix this? | 19:24 |
| charlie-tca | You should be able to remove it using windows software install/remove | 19:25 |
| Pie` | I'll try that, but I was using the wubi-uninstall.exe file | 19:26 |
| Pie` | yeah it still gives me the same error | 19:27 |
| likemindead | Sorry, Pie`, I've never used Wubi. | 19:27 |
| likemindead | Delete the partition? | 19:27 |
| Pie` | I nver got round to installing it | 19:28 |
| Pie` | It wouldn't load at all | 19:28 |
| likemindead | Ah. | 19:28 |
| Pie` | all I did was download it using wubi then it told me to restart and xubuntu wouldn't start | 19:28 |
| likemindead | Try a secondary remove app like CCleaner or Spybot S&D? | 19:29 |
| Pie` | its because the /grub/ directory is being used, even though its empty.. | 19:29 |
| likemindead | Ah. | 19:38 |
| likemindead | So you aren't able to boot at all from the hdd? | 19:38 |
| runt | Can somebody help me with Xfce4? | 19:41 |
| SiDi | !ask | 19:41 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 19:41 |
| runt | Thanks | 19:41 |
| runt | Sorry, been a long time since on IRC. | 19:42 |
| likemindead | Screw that crap. What's up? | 19:42 |
| likemindead | !DIAF ubottu | 19:42 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about DIAF ubottu | 19:42 |
| likemindead | Hahaha... | 19:42 |
| runt | Looks like my Xubuntu has Xfce4 4.4.3 running. Is it worth it to upgrade to 4.6.x? | 19:42 |
| likemindead | Always! (IMHO) | 19:43 |
| charlie-tca | likemindead: you have a way to help people without them telling you what is wrong? | 19:43 |
| runt | Ok, is there an installer and/or where do I get it from? | 19:43 |
| likemindead | They'll get around to it. I get annoyed at the arrogant IRC B.S. | 19:43 |
| charlie-tca | runt: If you are running 4.4.3, you loaded it from a PPA. Are you using Intrepid? | 19:43 |
| runt | Not sure about Intrepid - where can I find that out? | 19:44 |
| charlie-tca | rules are rules | 19:44 |

| runt | Thx likemindead | 19:45 |
| likemindead | Welcome. Let me know how it turns out. I may follow suit. | 19:45 |
| runt | lsb_release -rd = 8.10 | 19:45 |
| charlie-tca | and please report any issues with it direct to xfce, not xubuntu or launchpad | 19:46 |
| charlie-tca | 8.10 is intrepid | 19:46 |
| Pie` | 7.something was hoary hedgehog | 19:46 |
| Pie` | wasnt ti? | 19:46 |
| runt | Ok. Now, is Jaunty available? | 19:47 |
| charlie-tca | no, 7.10 was gutsy | 19:47 |
| ruadh | Hi azll | 19:47 |
| likemindead | runt, yes! | 19:47 |
| charlie-tca | 7.04 was fiesty | 19:47 |
| SiDi | runt: if you run 4.6 in xubuntu 8.10, most will work, but there might be bugs, as far as i recall. It would be safer to use Xubuntu 9.04, imo. | 19:47 |
| charlie-tca | hoary was all the way back to 4.10 | 19:47 |
| likemindead | I'm an idiot. I'm _already_ using 4.6 in Jaunty! Derp. | 19:47 |
| * charlie-tca nods at likemindead | 19:47 | |
| likemindead | I have to agree with SiDi, runt. | 19:48 |
| * SiDi forbids anyone (including himself) from agreeing with him. | 19:48 | |
| * charlie-tca agrees to disagree with SiDi | 19:48 | |

| runt | Good to know SiDi | 19:49 |
| SiDi | runt: you should launch "update-manager" | 19:49 |

| runt | Christ, you peeps know ur stuff... Thanks again. | 19:49 |
| charlie-tca | ruadh: ask on #kubuntu | 19:50 |
| runt | Much appreciated, I'm off to upgrade. Anything to know about 9.04? | 19:50 |
| charlie-tca | This is Xubuntu, and it uses Thunar | 19:50 |
| SiDi | btw runt, Jérôme Guelfucci has a PPA with xfce 4.6.0 for intrepid. He'll know if there are still known trouble with it. He should be in #xfce | 19:50 |
| runt | Ok SiDi | 19:50 |
| ruadh | thanks | 19:50 |
| likemindead | ruadh, you're using Konqueror in Xubuntu? | 19:50 |
| ruadh | likemindead, yes. | 19:50 |
| likemindead | Blech. | 19:51 |
| likemindead | ;D | 19:51 |
| likemindead | Maybe a missing dependency? | 19:51 |
| ruadh | likemindead, Konq wasd installed automatically | 19:51 |
| likemindead | Uh... are you _sure_ you're not using Kubuntu? | 19:51 |
| runt | Best to all. | 19:52 |
| ruadh | I know the distro i'm using | 19:52 |
| likemindead | Sorry. Don't mean to be an ass. | 19:52 |
| ruadh | Maybe I should try kubuntu | 19:52 |
| charlie-tca | ruadh: Xubuntu has never installed Konqueror by default. It had to be installed by you | 19:52 |
| likemindead | Right. | 19:52 |
| SiDi | 8 days till i pass my main OS to Karmic Alpha1 ! | 19:53 |
| likemindead | If you like Konqueror, install kubuntu-desktop and give it a whirl. | 19:53 |
| charlie-tca | I´m waiting until after UDS | 19:53 |
| ruadh | charlie-tca, I did not have to install konq | 19:53 |
| charlie-tca | Well, Xubuntu certainly did not | 19:53 |
| likemindead | ruadh, then someone's been on your machine! | 19:53 |

| SiDi | ahah | 20:58 |
| knome | in SiDi's bar, i mean | 20:58 |
| SiDi | knome: its not like its *the* often updated website | 20:58 |
| SiDi | but i have the feeling we'll have to solve this | 20:59 |
| SiDi | we need to have a better interface for the xubuntu community to interact / give feedback | 20:59 |
| knome | we need to get the developers blogs aggregated into xubuntu.org | 21:00 |
| ochosi | sounds like a good idea, knome | 21:01 |
| knome | not-often updated developer blogs would kill that idea as well | 21:02 |
| ochosi | i think quite a few people are interested in design-issues, because it's something they can rather easily grasp | 21:03 |
| ochosi | e.g. the firefox-logo-update is getting a lot of press lately | 21:03 |
| ochosi | and that looked like a good idea, to make the stages of the design process transparent (obviously also a lot of work) | 21:04 |
| knome | for some reason i haven't noticed that :P | 21:04 |
| ochosi | well, i only noticed today :) | 21:04 |
| knome | can we see something already? | 21:04 |
| ochosi | yep, look here: http://blog.mozilla.com/faaborg/ | 21:05 |
| ochosi | you'll also see different versions of the *new* logo, including some of the thoughts/discussions | 21:05 |
| ochosi | a similar design issue that caught a lot of attention was mark shuttleworth's blog entry about notify-osd | 21:06 |
| ochosi | and last but not least you're artwork got xubuntu some good press, knome | 21:06 |
| knome | true | 21:07 |
| knome | that was actually somewhat expected | 21:11 |
| knome | because we broke off the shell that xfce/xubuntu was at | 21:11 |
| ochosi | you broke off the shell..? | 21:13 |
| * charlie-tca thinks shelf | 21:14 | |
| charlie-tca | as in stalled on the ledge | 21:15 |
| SiDi | knome: you can aswell grab some news from xfce's devs blog into that | 21:15 |
| knome | out of the shell, the thing clams are in | 21:15 |
| knome | SiDi, true | 21:15 |
| SiDi | and get some community people to post on it | 21:16 |
| SiDi | and then you have some stuff there :p | 21:16 |
| knome | but manual grabbing is... | 21:16 |
| charlie-tca | and drupal is not real good at auto grabbing, is it? | 21:16 |
| knome | i don't know | 21:16 |
| knome | what i do know, we would benefir from migrating to wp | 21:16 |
| charlie-tca | Seems like it sucked at it a couple years ago when I tried it | 21:17 |
| knome | *benefit | 21:18 |
| knome | maybe. | 21:18 |
| knome | i'm not really into drupal | 21:18 |
| knome | and i have little motivation in learning it any more | 21:18 |
| charlie-tca | I'm not either, anymore. My website is in Xoops, now | 21:18 |
| SiDi | well, drupal has a lot of ubuntu maintainers tho | 21:18 |
| knome | i already had 12 months too much of drupal | 21:19 |
| SiDi | you got a webby, charlie-tca ? :O | 21:19 |
| charlie-tca | Yeah, because it is in launchpad and doesn't require PHP | 21:19 |
| charlie-tca | Yes, SiDi | 21:19 |
| charlie-tca | http://keepingdreams.com | 21:19 |
| knome | drupal doesn't need php? | 21:19 |
| knome | :P | 21:19 |
| Slonkie | what's the terminal command for renaming? | 21:19 |
| knome | SiDi, mv | 21:19 |
| charlie-tca | That is the only reason it is recommended so strongly | 21:19 |
| charlie-tca | Slonkie: mv | 21:19 |
| Slonkie | Thanks! | 21:19 |
| charlie-tca | no problem | 21:20 |
| knome | drupal runs on php | 21:20 |
| charlie-tca | Cannonical/Ubuntu website maintainer won't allow php, so he goes with moinmoin and drupal | 21:20 |
| charlie-tca | knome: it can run php, but does not have to | 21:21 |
| knome | right | 21:21 |
| knome | but wordpress was a ubuntu supported thing? | 21:21 |
| charlie-tca | no, wordpress has never been suggested/supported | 21:22 |
| === danopia` is now known as danopia | ||
| charlie-tca | Since it was only blog capable until a year or so ago, it was not used for websites | 21:22 |
| knome | i still don't believe drupal can run without php | 21:22 |
| knome | it kind of still only runs blogs. | 21:23 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 21:23 |
| charlie-tca | But with a little work, you can build a website out of it. | 21:23 |
| knome | but with wordpress mu you can have several "sites" | 21:23 |
| knome | well there's nothing stopping you from doing a wordpress theme with static things only | 21:23 |
| charlie-tca | exactly. I did build teamcharliesangels with wordpress, but I haven't updated it and now it is down | 21:24 |
| SiDi | im gonna try drupal | 21:28 |
| SiDi | sometimes i feel like blagging | 21:29 |
| SiDi | but i dont have a blag :( | 21:29 |
| knome | blag? :P | 21:30 |
| charlie-tca | I am real bad at it, really. | 21:31 |
| SiDi | sometimes i feel like posting my opinion about various subjects | 21:31 |
| SiDi | mostly thoughts, or political stuff tho, but still :p | 21:31 |
| SiDi | and im very pissed of not having a blag (mostly cause i cant host it at home) | 21:31 |
| charlie-tca | It does give you a place you can get away with it | 21:32 |
| ochosi | knome: the blag... http://xkcd.com/148/ | 21:33 |
| knome | argh. | 21:33 |
| SiDi | :] | 21:34 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | there's a TON of people in #ubuntu :O | 22:36 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | but anyway, i have another problem :( | 22:36 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | i installed openSUSE on the other half of my second hard drive | 22:37 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | yes, xubuntu was there beforehand | 22:37 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | on the first half of the drive | 22:37 |
| SiDi | you still didnt tell us about your problem. | 22:38 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | and i can't get into suse, or mount the partitions in xubuntu to check out the grub config file | 22:38 |
| SiDi | What version of xubuntu ? And when you installed OpenSuse, what partition did you chose ? | 22:39 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | let me double check | 22:39 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | it's xubuntu 9.04(upgraded from 8.10), and i have it on partition sdb1 | 22:41 |
| charlie-tca | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery#Recover%20Grub | 22:42 |
| SiDi | sudo fdisk -l ? | 22:43 |
| SiDi | what format the sdb1 partition has ? | 22:43 |
| SiDi | if you cant boot its likely that your xubuntu kernel cant read it. | 22:44 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | they're all ext3 formatted | 22:44 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | suse's on sdb3 for the root, and sdb4 for /home | 22:44 |
| SiDi | whats the error when you mount /dev/sdb3 ? | 22:46 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | mount: can't find /dev/sdb3 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 22:47 |
| SiDi | .. | 22:47 |
| SiDi | its normal :) | 22:47 |
| SiDi | type the following command | 22:47 |
| SiDi | sudo mkdir /media/openSuseRoot && sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /media/openSuseRoot | 22:48 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | i typed in in wrong, didn't i :/ | 22:48 |
| SiDi | you need to tell mount where it has to mount | 22:48 |
| SiDi | unless your /etc/fstab file is configured for auto mounting | 22:48 |
| SiDi | !fstab | 22:48 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 22:48 |
| SiDi | then you can gksudo mousepad /media/openSuseRoot/boot/grub/menu.lst :) | 22:49 |
| SiDi | and add your own boot entry to xubuntu's menu.lst | 22:49 |
| SiDi | Good night, going to bed. Good luck Tom | 22:50 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | thanks a lot, good night | 22:50 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | !mtab | 23:02 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mtab | 23:02 |
| ochosi | [AfZ]TomServo1, so did you follow SiDi's advice and did the mount work? | 23:04 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | yeah, the mount worked | 23:04 |
| ochosi | i didn't completely follow your discussion, so were are we now? | 23:04 |
| ochosi | +h | 23:04 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | for some reason, the "cd" command isn't being recognized on my machine | 23:05 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | i know what it is | 23:05 |
| ochosi | in what kind of terminal are you? | 23:06 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | bash | 23:06 |
| ochosi | tty or emulator? | 23:06 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | emulator | 23:06 |
| ochosi | cos i just can't imagine that not to work | 23:06 |
| ochosi | what's the output of e.g. cd /media/openSuseRoot? | 23:06 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | cd: command not found | 23:07 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | ok...it just worked now | 23:07 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | i guess you can't combine cd with sudo | 23:08 |
| ochosi | maybe a typo? | 23:08 |
| ochosi | oh, no, you can't | 23:08 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | yeah, a typo ;) | 23:08 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | Suse's /boot/grub/menu.lst seems to be empty | 23:11 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | nevermind, found it...i'm such a klutz | 23:13 |
| ochosi | np | 23:14 |
| [AfZ]TomServo1 | thanks for the help...i may be back | 23:23 |
| KX | hey can the install cd format my entire hdd then install over it? | 23:48 |
| charlie-tca | sure | 23:48 |
| KX | ok thanks | 23:48 |
| charlie-tca | If you want xubuntu to do the reformat, just tell it during the installation to use the entire drive | 23:48 |
