[00:35] <the_oopla> How can I boot my Xubuntu install into command line mode, and bypass the gui?
[00:41] <zoredache> when your are booting choose rescue from the grub menu
[00:42] <the_oopla> I will give that a try
[01:29] <iliketofrolic666> how do I give xubuntu a constant LAN ip from my router?
[01:32] <SiDi> depends
[01:33] <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] <iliketofrolic666> how do I do the easier way?
[01:54] <xubuntiano> hi guys. Someone asleep?
[03:13] <gamepockets> does anyone know how to obtain all the lost updates for xubuntu 7.10??
[03:14] <SiDi> Its too late, gamepockets
[03:15] <SiDi> if you intend to stay on a system without upgrading for a long time, please use the LTS version
[03:25] <gamepockets> so there is no way to get mp3 to play??
[05:05] <dylan_> !amarok
[05:06] <dylan_> can you get amarok 2 for xfce ?
[05:09] <forces> in jaunty?
[05:38] <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"
[05:49] <dylan_> is it possible to run kde 4 apps in xubuntu 9.04 ?
[06:07] <Rakko> I just installed Jaunty on an Athlon64. WindowMaker crashes on me. Anyone know about this?
[06:10] <Rakko> It had a segfault/sig 11
[06:12] <dylan_> how do I get klauncher in Xubuntu 9.04 ?
[06:16] <Rakko> do you have KDE installed, dylan_ ?
[06:24] <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
[06:26] <Rakko> ugh
[06:26] <Rakko> just because they're in apt-cache search doesn't mean they're installed
[06:27] <dylan_> Rakko, sorry, I did apt-get install them after that
[06:27] <Rakko> ok
[06:28] <Rakko> not sure
[06:28] <dylan_> also: its says could not talk to klauncher
[06:28] <dylan_> ok
[06:28] <dylan_> not sure why
[06:44] <dylan_> how can I get kdeinit to run in xubuntu 9.04 ?

[07:54] <ocs> Hi. how can I set mysql as a service for xubuntu ? on ubuntu it was so set by default
[08:02] <zoredache> ocs: just install it?
[08:02] <ocs> zoredache: already done, obviously
[08:02] <ocs> but I need to start it manually
[08:21] <zoredache> how did you install it?
[08:21] <zoredache> if you instal via apt the package usually starts on its own..
[09:16] <DJJeff> does xubuntu work on powerpc? (iMac G3)
[09:27] <SiDi> There is a version, yes
[13:20] <cemunal> i installed amarok2 on xfce4 but it can't play any sound and i can't see shoutcast radios; how can i fix these?
[14:57] <Slonkie> damn i by mistake deleted libcups.so - Is there anyway to restore this? (it's not in trash)
[15:19] <tavasti> Slonkie, apt-get install --reinstall libcups2
[15:19] <Slonkie> thanks
[15:37] <Slonkie> Has anybody here been able to syncronise their Thunderbird Mails/Calender with any kind of cell phone?
[15:49] <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] <Slonkie> well tavasti's advice worked great :)
[15:51] <ElectricHeavyLan> anyone evey try to disable their touchpad? it keeps "jumping my cursor around  when I write in my text editor"...no BIOS solution, already checked...no option that I see to disable it in xfce that i see of...i am lookin for the easiest way possible b/c I have lots of other things to do. :)
[15:52] <SiDi> ElectricHeavyLan: there is a way to make it inactive each time you type
[15:52] <ElectricHeavyLan> SiDi: how is that?
[15:53] <tavasti> cover thouchpad with cardboard and ductape
[15:54] <tavasti> :-)
[15:54] <SiDi> no
[15:54] <SiDi> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=271052
[15:54] <SiDi> There are MANY google posts about it
[15:54] <SiDi> basically, enable SHM in xorg.conf and then you can configure it
[16:04] <ElectricHeavyLan> tavasti: that was my first idea. :)
[16:04] <ElectricHeavyLan> SiDi: thanks for the link. I'll try that.

[18:41] <andrewlondonnewb> Hi, can someone offer a newbie advice on my messy graphics on screen? A
[18:43] <SiDi> Heya. Whats wrong with it, exactly, andrewlondonnewb ?
[18:46] <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.
[18:50] <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 ?
[18:53] <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.
[19:24] <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?
[19:25] <charlie-tca> You should be able to remove it using windows software install/remove
[19:26] <Pie`> I'll try that, but I was using the wubi-uninstall.exe file
[19:27] <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?
[19:28] <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
[19:29] <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..
[19:38] <likemindead> Ah.
[19:38] <likemindead> So you aren't able to boot at all from the hdd?
[19:41] <runt> Can somebody help me with Xfce4?
[19:41] <SiDi> !ask
[19:41] <runt> Thanks
[19:42] <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] <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?
[19:43] <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?
[19:44] <runt> Not sure about Intrepid - where can I find that out?
[19:44] <charlie-tca> rules are rules
[19:44] <likemindead> http://naiux.wordpress.com/2009/02/28/installing-xfce-446-on-xubuntu/
[19:44] <likemindead> Google, FTW.
[19:45] <charlie-tca> try 'lsb_release -rd' in a terminal
[19:45] <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
[19:46] <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?
[19:47] <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 
[19:48] <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> I guess my Synaptic is not seeing 9.04 - shouldn't I be getting a notification of 9.04?
[19:49] <runt> Good to know SiDi
[19:49] <SiDi> runt: you should launch "update-manager"
[19:49] <ruadh> I've been trying to play some sound clips using Konqueror, and keep getting a request to install adobe flash player. I have flash player installed. Can any one help?
[19:49] <runt> Christ, you peeps know ur stuff...  Thanks again.
[19:50] <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.
[19:51] <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?
[19:52] <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.
[19:53] <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!
[19:54] <likemindead> :-\
[19:54] <likemindead> Poor fellow.
[19:54] <likemindead> Multiple personalities, perchance?
[19:54] <charlie-tca> good thing he knows what he installed!

[19:57] <charlie-tca> claws-mail?
[19:58] <likemindead> For me it's OOo, Tilda, & Banshee.
[19:58] <charlie-tca> VirtualBox
[19:58] <charlie-tca> gedit
[19:58] <charlie-tca> What is Tilda?
[19:58] <SiDi> omg, i so lag tonight
[19:58] <likemindead> Tilda is a bitchin' terminal emulator.

[20:57] <SiDi> yeh
[20:57] <SiDi> i got rid of my crazy bookmarks menu entry
[20:57] <knome> okies
[20:57] <knome> ;)
[20:58] <knome> where's the xubuntu website
[20:58] <Pie`> xubuntu.org
[20:58] <SiDi> ahah
[20:58] <knome> in SiDi's bar, i mean
[20:58] <SiDi> knome: its not like its *the* often updated website
[20:59] <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
[21:00] <knome> we need to get the developers blogs aggregated into xubuntu.org
[21:01] <ochosi> sounds like a good idea, knome
[21:02] <knome> not-often updated developer blogs would kill that idea as well
[21:03] <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
[21:04] <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?
[21:05] <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
[21:06] <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
[21:07] <knome> true
[21:11] <knome> that was actually somewhat expected
[21:11] <knome> because we broke off the shell that xfce/xubuntu was at
[21:13] <ochosi> you broke off the shell..?
[21:14]  * charlie-tca thinks shelf
[21:15] <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
[21:16] <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
[21:17] <charlie-tca> Seems like it sucked at it a couple years ago when I tried it
[21:18] <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
[21:19] <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!
[21:20] <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
[21:21] <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?
[21:22] <charlie-tca> no, wordpress has never been suggested/supported
[21:22] <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
[21:23] <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
[21:24] <charlie-tca> exactly. I did build teamcharliesangels with wordpress, but I haven't updated it and now it is down
[21:28] <SiDi> im gonna try drupal
[21:29] <SiDi> sometimes i feel like blagging
[21:29] <SiDi> but i dont have a blag :(
[21:30] <knome> blag? :P
[21:31] <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)
[21:32] <charlie-tca> It does give you a place you can get away with it
[21:33] <ochosi> knome: the blag... http://xkcd.com/148/
[21:33] <knome> argh.
[21:34] <SiDi> :]
[22:36] <[AfZ]TomServo1> there's a TON of people in #ubuntu :O
[22:36] <[AfZ]TomServo1> but anyway, i have another problem :(
[22:37] <[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
[22:38] <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
[22:39] <SiDi> What version of xubuntu ? And when you installed OpenSuse, what partition did you chose ?
[22:39] <[AfZ]TomServo1> let me double check
[22:41] <[AfZ]TomServo1> it's xubuntu 9.04(upgraded from 8.10), and i have it on partition sdb1
[22:42] <charlie-tca> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery#Recover%20Grub
[22:43] <SiDi> sudo fdisk -l ?
[22:43] <SiDi> what format the sdb1 partition has ?
[22:44] <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
[22:46] <SiDi> whats the error when you mount /dev/sdb3 ?
[22:47] <[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
[22:48] <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
[22:49] <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
[22:50] <SiDi> Good night, going to bed. Good luck Tom
[22:50] <[AfZ]TomServo1> thanks a lot, good night
[23:02] <[AfZ]TomServo1> !mtab
[23:04] <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
[23:05] <[AfZ]TomServo1> for some reason, the "cd" command isn't being recognized on my machine
[23:05] <[AfZ]TomServo1> i know what it is
[23:06] <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?
[23:07] <[AfZ]TomServo1> cd: command not found
[23:07] <[AfZ]TomServo1> ok...it just worked now
[23:08] <[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 ;)
[23:11] <[AfZ]TomServo1> Suse's /boot/grub/menu.lst seems to be empty
[23:13] <[AfZ]TomServo1> nevermind, found it...i'm such a klutz
[23:14] <ochosi> np
[23:23] <[AfZ]TomServo1> thanks for the help...i may be back
[23:48] <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
