terinjokesi seem to have a fatal error with my installation medium (currently IRCing from Live mode), the package list cache seems to be corrupted, can I repair from within the Live environment?02:26
terinjokesmy error: E: Read error - read (5 Input/output error)E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.E: _cache->open() failed, please report.02:27
terinjokesthe install crashed *after* axing my original system02:27
th0rterinjokes: did you verify the disk before you started the install?02:28
terinjokesno02:29

terinjokesth0r: the iso is no more ;)02:31
manudo_cr7gracias [ubottu] !!!02:31
terinjokescan I recover, ie, create a new package list?02:32
th0rterinjokes: I know of no way to do that02:32
terinjokesth0r: will the Live system allow me to eject the disc long enough to burn a new copy?02:33
terinjokesif it doesn't, I'm stuck02:33
th0rterinjokes: not sure....see if brasero is on the menu for the live cd02:33
terinjokesit is02:33
th0rterinjokes: still...if you take the cd out of the drive the live system will crash. Do you have access to a second (usb?) cd burner?02:34
terinjokesno02:34
* terinjokes just realized he didn't burn the ISO of Win7RC before axing the system, oh well02:35
th0rterinjokes: trying to come up with another option...but not having much luck02:35

terinjokeswell, can't we change were the system looks for the package list?02:36
th0rterinjokes: I don't even know where to find another copy of the package list02:37
terinjokesth0r: i thought refreshing the packages with Settings->Software Sources would do it, but it wouldn't02:41
th0rterinjokes: no, if I understand the system correctly the package list is the list of things to install...that wouldn't be 'refreshable'02:43
terinjokesthen why would Software Sources also get the error?02:44
terinjokesand Synapics?02:44

psycho_oreosI'm at the height of the Thunar freezing, 8.10 (ibex) I did strace and the last few lines indicated resource temporarily unavailable followed by a process 15870 detached.. I get a new thunar window but it seems to have hung.. Thunar is consuming ~50% of my cpu usage and I'm running a dual core capable machine.. the installation is 32bit mode not 64bit05:19
psycho_oreoshmm guess those people I was chatting to the other day are no longer here :/ I guess I'll have to resort to pkill05:21
psycho_oreosI've got strace working on the thread that's causing the issues, and I think I can probably see whats going on.. strace -p `pgrep Thunar`05:25

raevolwould anyone know why xubuntu is showing the contents of my home folder as icons on my desktop?07:34
th0rraevol: try this...remove the icons and log off. When the logoff screen appears make sure the 'save session' box is marked. Then log back on and see if they show up again07:36
raevolreally? i will want to remove the saved session later so that i don't have two of everything running, is that really a solution?07:37
th0rraevol: yes...it might be the solution. You can also set everything up the way you want and then save the session from Settings-Session and Startup. That is what I do07:38
raevolyea, that's really not what i want to do07:39
th0rraevol: ok07:39

MrNaz_cicif i want to format an external drive (usb hdd enclosure) so that i can be read/written in linux, windows and mac, what filesystem do i use and how do i do that in xubuntu ?08:07
hdsturgi want to play mp3's in Listen.  Is there a codec I can install for that, without installing the whole xubuntu-restricted package?08:10
R1cochetMrNaz_cic: i believe u can use any filesystem you would like as long as all 3 O.S.'s have the drivers to read that particular filesystem.08:53
evocallaghanHi, Do you inc. a PV kernel on the ISO ?08:54
R1cochethdsturg: have u tried to play the mp3 yet? and yes u can install just individual codecs. xubuntu-restricted simply marks all the codecs for install08:55

ignaHi! I have a problem. I installed lxde in my xubuntu sistem and it altered some settings of the sistem (menu items, panel dissapeared).15:43
ignaHow can I return back to the previous sistem15:44
knomeigna, you are probably running an lxde session. from the login screen, select xfce session.15:48
ignaI removed lxde with apt-get and the libs it installed with synaptic. This deleted the menus items installed by lxde, but not solved the others problems.15:49
ignaI did it15:49
knomealt+f2 > xfce4-panel15:49
knomethat should bring back panels.15:49
ignaOk, i'll try15:49
ignaOther problem is that now synaptic, and epiphany autostart when xubuntu start. What lxde could touch to do this?15:51
knomeigna, no idea. something has modified your xfce session.15:52
ignaWhere are this settings? How can I reset them? Create a new user and delete mine? I try reinstal xubuntu-desktop but didn't work15:54
knomeigna, applications -> settings -> session and startup15:55
knomeigna, see the application autostart and session tabs15:55
ignaI looked in session tab, why thunar is twice?16:04
knomei don't know.16:07

edgar_i have x and y folder and they are in the folder b. i want to delete folder b but if i do it, x and y will be lost too. there is a chance to copy x and y folders somewhere else but its taking too much time (x and y folders are big). so the question is. is there a faster way?example. there are peas in the pod (pod-folder b peas-folders x,y) how can i get rid of pod, without losing the peas. tnx for help and sry for my bad english:)21:09
knomeedgar_, if you *move* them, it will be faster, assuming you move them to the physically same HD21:13
edgar_i tried, but it makes the same if i copy them. and even if i delete some big files, its taking a very long time. seems like xubuntu moving those files. the process seems similar if i copy music to my mp3 player. its taking time.21:31

SiDiwhat is that bin file ?22:45
SiDiis it an iso9660 ?22:45
SiDicause either, just turn it into iso, or shout at the guy who gave it to you22:45
Slonkierenaming it to .iso doesn't solve the problem22:52
SlonkieIt makes it possible to burn, but when i plug it in, it says unable to mount for stupid reasons22:53
th0rSlonkie: sounds like the file is bad22:55
Slonkiethe file works22:56
SlonkieCD-ROM is NOT in ISO 9660 format22:57
SlonkieIt says22:57
hdsturgSlonkie: Did you convert it to ISO?  You could use bchunk: http://www.linuxtent.com/?p=8222:57
th0rSlonkie: yup....if it is not in iso9660 format then.....the file is bad22:58
Slonkiehm okay22:59
SlonkieI know for a fact im able to burn it in a windows machine22:59
SlonkieGuess that will be what i'm gonna have to do.23:00
hdsturgSlonkie: i'm not sure, but i'd think that you'd have to actually convert the file to iso.. not just rename the extension23:00
Slonkiei actually do have the .cue file for the bin file23:01
Slonkiehmm i'll take a look at that link hdsturg, thanks :).23:02
hdsturgSlonkie: you'd still need bchunk.  but just do: bchunk xxx.bin xxx.cue xxx.iso23:02
=== hdsturg is now known as hds-away
SiDiSlonkie, it didnt say rename, i said turn into :P23:13
th0rSiDi: it isn't an iso file...it is a windows proprietary format for burning cd's. He will have to convert it to get it to work in brasero23:13
SiDiSlonkie, most of the burning / iso mounting proprietary apps use crappy formats, and of course these formats never end up in opensource apps. iso9660 is _the_ standard iso format and they should _not_ name iso/bin a file that is not iso966023:14
SlonkieOkay23:15
