[01:32] depends [01:33] you can set a static ip on your router's DHCP server's config [01:33] (easiest way for home networks) [01:33] or you can remove the DHCP server and make a static ip config in /etc/network/interfaces [01:33] how do I do the easier way? === freego is now known as forces [01:54] hi guys. Someone asleep? [03:13] does anyone know how to obtain all the lost updates for xubuntu 7.10??

I run Xubuntu 9.04, and both kde , and dolphin are in apt-cache search [06:26] ugh [06:26] just because they're in apt-cache search doesn't mean they're installed [06:27] Rakko, sorry, I did apt-get install them after that [06:27] ok [06:28] not sure [06:28] also: its says could not talk to klauncher [06:28] ok [06:28] not sure why [06:44] how can I get kdeinit to run in xubuntu 9.04 ?

[15:49] 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] well tavasti's advice worked great :) [15:51] 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] ElectricHeavyLan: there is a way to make it inactive each time you type [15:52] SiDi: how is that?

I'll try that. [16:48] Hi there [16:48] !hi | xububu [16:48] xububu: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! [16:49] Just upgraded to Xubuntu 9. whatever, and have a tiny issue with the second panel [16:49] 9.04, that is [16:50] sorry - new to chatting - the work space icons for wrkspce 1 6 2 appear in the middle of the panel. no aligned onto the right [16:51] should be workspace 1 & 2 [16:52] xububu, right click the panel, add new item and select "separator or spacing", then "expanding empty space" [16:52] xububu, then right click the space and click move and drag it to wanted position [16:54] Thankyou - i'll try that right now [16:54] xububu, did that help? [16:54] right [16:55] Great - thanks abunch Knome :-D [16:55] np. [16:56] I Live in spain, so the system is in spanish, took me a littlle longer than normal [16:56] ahh [16:57] that always brings an extra challenge :) [16:57] Anyway - goto get on with work, thanks again [18:41] Hi, can someone offer a newbie advice on my messy graphics on screen? A [18:43] Heya. Whats wrong with it, exactly, andrewlondonnewb ? [18:46] 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] What is the resolution of your screen, andrewlondonnewb ? [18:50] The best resolution supported by your hardware. And also, what graphics card does it have ? [18:53] 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] 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] How could I fix this? [19:25] You should be able to remove it using windows software install/remove [19:26] I'll try that, but I was using the wubi-uninstall.exe file [19:27] yeah it still gives me the same error [19:27] Sorry, Pie`, I've never used Wubi. [19:27] Delete the partition? [19:28] I nver got round to installing it [19:28] It wouldn't load at all [19:28] Ah. [19:28] all I did was download it using wubi then it told me to restart and xubuntu wouldn't start [19:29] Try a secondary remove app like CCleaner or Spybot S&D? [19:29] its because the /grub/ directory is being used, even though its empty.. [19:38] Ah. [19:38] So you aren't able to boot at all from the hdd? [19:41] Can somebody help me with Xfce4? [19:41] !ask [19:41] 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] Thanks [19:42] Sorry, been a long time since on IRC. [19:42] Screw that crap. What's up? [19:42] !DIAF ubottu [19:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about DIAF ubottu [19:42] Hahaha... [19:42] Looks like my Xubuntu has Xfce4 4.4.3 running. Is it worth it to upgrade to 4.6.x? [19:43] Always! (IMHO) [19:43] likemindead: you have a way to help people without them telling you what is wrong? [19:43] Ok, is there an installer and/or where do I get it from? [19:43] They'll get around to it. I get annoyed at the arrogant IRC B.S. [19:43] runt: If you are running 4.4.3, you loaded it from a PPA. Are you using Intrepid? [19:44] Not sure about Intrepid - where can I find that out? [19:44] rules are rules [19:44] http://naiux.wordpress.com/2009/02/28/installing-xfce-446-on-xubuntu/ [19:44] Google, FTW. [19:45] try 'lsb_release -rd' in a terminal [19:45] Thx likemindead [19:45] Welcome. Let me know how it turns out. I may follow suit. [19:45] lsb_release -rd = 8.10 [19:46] and please report any issues with it direct to xfce, not xubuntu or launchpad [19:46] 8.10 is intrepid [19:46] 7.something was hoary hedgehog [19:46] wasnt ti? [19:47] Ok. Now, is Jaunty available? [19:47] no, 7.10 was gutsy [19:47] Hi azll [19:47] runt, yes! [19:47] 7.04 was fiesty [19:47] 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] hoary was all the way back to 4.10 [19:47] I'm an idiot. I'm _already_ using 4.6 in Jaunty! Derp. [19:47] * charlie-tca nods at likemindead [19:48] 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] I guess my Synaptic is not seeing 9.04 - shouldn't I be getting a notification of 9.04? [19:49] Good to know SiDi [19:49] runt: you should launch "update-manager" [19:49] 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] Christ, you peeps know ur stuff... Thanks again. [19:50] ruadh: ask on #kubuntu [19:50] Much appreciated, I'm off to upgrade. Anything to know about 9.04? [19:50] This is Xubuntu, and it uses Thunar [19:50] 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] Ok SiDi [19:50] thanks [19:50] ruadh, you're using Konqueror in Xubuntu? [19:50] likemindead, yes. [19:51] Blech. [19:51] ;D [19:51] Maybe a missing dependency? [19:51] likemindead, Konq wasd installed automatically [19:51] Uh... are you _sure_ you're not using Kubuntu? [19:52] Best to all. [19:52] I know the distro i'm using [19:52] Sorry. Don't mean to be an ass. [19:52] Maybe I should try kubuntu [19:52] ruadh: Xubuntu has never installed Konqueror by default. It had to be installed by you [19:52] Right. [19:53] 8 days till i pass my main OS to Karmic Alpha1 ! [19:53] If you like Konqueror, install kubuntu-desktop and give it a whirl. [19:53] I´m waiting until after UDS [19:53] charlie-tca, I did not have to install konq [19:53] Well, Xubuntu certainly did not [19:53] ruadh, then someone's been on your machine! [19:54] :-\ [19:54] Poor fellow. [19:54] Multiple personalities, perchance? [19:54] good thing he knows what he installed! [19:55] !weather 79121 [19:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about weather 79121 [19:55] Err... wrong window... ;) [19:56] * charlie-tca nods again [19:57] Query: Top 3 things to install in Xubuntu (that don't come by default)? [19:57] claws-mail? [19:58] For me it's OOo, Tilda, & Banshee. [19:58] VirtualBox [19:58] gedit [19:58] What is Tilda? [19:58] omg, i so lag tonight [19:58] Tilda is a bitchin' terminal emulator. [19:59] Gedit, Exaile, Virtualbox here too :P [20:00] http://imagebin.ca/view/U2YZJZ6o.html [20:01] I have it in startup & F1 brings it down (animation & transparency are optional).

[20:03] Mario isn't family friendly? [20:03] watch your language [20:03] ;( [20:03] didn't mean the picture [20:03] ...? [20:03] nvm. [20:04] My youth minister from Nebraska said bitchin' in a sermon once. Really. [20:04] ive been missing something [20:05] Yeah, but that don't make it nice talk... [20:05] Duran Duran? [20:05] shock value [20:06] brb [20:06] Im beginning to suspect i missed some phrases of the conversation [20:06] ... [20:06] My sincere apologies to all.

I hope you have a reason for that :o [20:09] wow, that's BIG text. [20:09] SiDi, I play a lot of games that aren't supported by WINE :D [20:09] I used to be on linux before my hdd went foom. [20:09] Pie`, how come? for some reason i don't play the games that wine doesn't support ;P [20:10] how well would virtualbox w/ xp running a game like Call of duty 4 run ? [20:10] Would it work or just be a complete failure [20:13] it would fail [20:13] epic fail * [20:15] I'm content with my NES, SNES, Genesis, & Playstation ROMs & emulators. [20:15] ^__^ [20:15] Playing through Tales Of Phantasia at the moment. [20:22] Downloaded a sega master system emulator [20:22] then download Alex the kidd i shinobi world :p [20:23] Will do, Pie`. [20:26] Adios, everyone. [20:27] its hard to find ROMS [20:36] I'm sure you'll find a lot here: http://www.romnation.net/ [20:36] ;) [20:38] Please remember it is against Freenode rules to advocate piracy and/or illegal activities. [20:57] knome: http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/9753/yayu.png [20:57] SiDi, the bar, right? ;) [20:57] yeh [20:57] i got rid of my crazy bookmarks menu entry [20:57] okies [20:57] ;) [20:58] where's the xubuntu website [20:58] xubuntu.org [20:58] ahah [20:58] in SiDi's bar, i mean [20:58] knome: its not like its *the* often updated website [20:59] but i have the feeling we'll have to solve this [20:59] we need to have a better interface for the xubuntu community to interact / give feedback [21:00] we need to get the developers blogs aggregated into xubuntu.org [21:01] sounds like a good idea, knome [21:02] not-often updated developer blogs would kill that idea as well [21:03] i think quite a few people are interested in design-issues, because it's something they can rather easily grasp [21:03] e.g. the firefox-logo-update is getting a lot of press lately [21:04] and that looked like a good idea, to make the stages of the design process transparent (obviously also a lot of work) [21:04] for some reason i haven't noticed that :P [21:04] well, i only noticed today :) [21:04] can we see something already? [21:05] yep, look here: http://blog.mozilla.com/faaborg/ [21:05] you'll also see different versions of the *new* logo, including some of the thoughts/discussions [21:06] a similar design issue that caught a lot of attention was mark shuttleworth's blog entry about notify-osd [21:06] and last but not least you're artwork got xubuntu some good press, knome [21:07] true [21:11] that was actually somewhat expected [21:11] because we broke off the shell that xfce/xubuntu was at [21:13] you broke off the shell..? [21:14] * charlie-tca thinks shelf [21:15] as in stalled on the ledge [21:15] knome: you can aswell grab some news from xfce's devs blog into that [21:15] out of the shell, the thing clams are in [21:15] SiDi, true [21:16] and get some community people to post on it [21:16] and then you have some stuff there :p [21:16] but manual grabbing is... [21:16] and drupal is not real good at auto grabbing, is it? [21:16] i don't know [21:16] what i do know, we would benefir from migrating to wp [21:17] Seems like it sucked at it a couple years ago when I tried it [21:18] *benefit [21:18] maybe. [21:18] i'm not really into drupal [21:18] and i have little motivation in learning it any more [21:18] I'm not either, anymore. My website is in Xoops, now [21:18] well, drupal has a lot of ubuntu maintainers tho [21:19] i already had 12 months too much of drupal [21:19] you got a webby, charlie-tca ? :O [21:19] Yeah, because it is in launchpad and doesn't require PHP [21:19] Yes, SiDi [21:19] http://keepingdreams.com [21:19] drupal doesn't need php? [21:19] :P [21:19] what's the terminal command for renaming? [21:19] SiDi, mv [21:19] That is the only reason it is recommended so strongly [21:19] Slonkie: mv [21:19] Thanks! [21:20] no problem [21:20] drupal runs on php [21:20] Cannonical/Ubuntu website maintainer won't allow php, so he goes with moinmoin and drupal [21:21] knome: it can run php, but does not have to [21:21] right [21:21] but wordpress was a ubuntu supported thing? [21:22] no, wordpress has never been suggested/supported === danopia` is now known as danopia [21:22] Since it was only blog capable until a year or so ago, it was not used for websites [21:22] i still don't believe drupal can run without php [21:23] it kind of still only runs blogs. [21:23] yup [21:23] But with a little work, you can build a website out of it. [21:23] but with wordpress mu you can have several "sites" [21:23] well there's nothing stopping you from doing a wordpress theme with static things only [21:24] exactly. I did build teamcharliesangels with wordpress, but I haven't updated it and now it is down [21:28] im gonna try drupal [21:29] sometimes i feel like blagging [21:29] but i dont have a blag :( [21:30] blag? :P [21:31] I am real bad at it, really. [21:31] sometimes i feel like posting my opinion about various subjects [21:31] mostly thoughts, or political stuff tho, but still :p [21:31] and im very pissed of not having a blag (mostly cause i cant host it at home) [21:32] It does give you a place you can get away with it [21:33] knome: the blag... http://xkcd.com/148/ [21:33] argh. [21:34] :] [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] 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] 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] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery#Recover%20Grub [22:43] sudo fdisk -l ? [22:43] what format the sdb1 partition has ? [22:44] 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] 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] .. [22:47] its normal :) [22:47] type the following command [22:48] sudo mkdir /media/openSuseRoot && sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /media/openSuseRoot [22:48] <[AfZ]TomServo1> i typed in in wrong, didn't i :/ [22:48] you need to tell mount where it has to mount [22:48] unless your /etc/fstab file is configured for auto mounting [22:48] !fstab [22:48] 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 [22:49] then you can gksudo mousepad /media/openSuseRoot/boot/grub/menu.lst :) [22:49] and add your own boot entry to xubuntu's menu.lst [22:50] Good night, going to bed. Good luck Tom [22:50] <[AfZ]TomServo1> thanks a lot, good night [23:02] <[AfZ]TomServo1> !mtab [23:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about mtab [23:04] [AfZ]TomServo1, so did you follow SiDi's advice and did the mount work? [23:04] <[AfZ]TomServo1> yeah, the mount worked [23:04] i didn't completely follow your discussion, so were are we now? [23:04] +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] in what kind of terminal are you? [23:06] <[AfZ]TomServo1> bash [23:06] tty or emulator? [23:06] <[AfZ]TomServo1> emulator [23:06] cos i just can't imagine that not to work [23:06] 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] maybe a typo? [23:08] 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] np [23:23] <[AfZ]TomServo1> thanks for the help...i may be back [23:48] hey can the install cd format my entire hdd then install over it? [23:48] sure [23:48] ok thanks [23:48] If you want xubuntu to do the reformat, just tell it during the installation to use the entire drive
