| chaos[1] | any links you can point at? | 00:12 |
| knome | what is the problem? | 00:12 |
| chaos[1] | freezes @ 15%, then gives me a error saying it couldn't create file system | 00:13 |
| chaos[1] | when i manually do it, it installs, but then computer freezes @ loading hmi | 00:14 |
| knome | hmm. | 00:14 |
| knome | i have no ideas | 00:14 |
| chaos[1] | this problem is listed a couple dozen times on google | 00:14 |
| chaos[1] | no solutions however | 00:14 |

| chaos[1] | wow im doing the same thing man | 00:17 |
| knome | !grub | 00:20 |
| ubottu | GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 00:20 |
| xron | for some reason, I just shutdown me system and I've got no grapshics/X | 00:26 |
| xron | I saw warnings in the xorg log file and my nvidia card can't be detected. | 00:26 |
| xron | I changed nothing. What happened? | 00:26 |
| xron | I tried other xorg config files, but no go. | 00:27 |
| knome | did you update? | 00:27 |
| xron | no | 00:27 |
| xron | nothing. | 00:27 |
| knome | file a bug? :] | 00:27 |
| xron | messed around a little bit with my network configurations, but nothing else. | 00:27 |
| xron | knome: thanks. :/ | 00:27 |
| xron | hard to file a bug if you don't know what's wrong in the first place, whether it's me or what. | 00:28 |
| xron | I could have filed hundreds of bugs in the past, but always do my reasearch first. | 00:29 |
| xron | it's almost always me or it's easily fixed by me. | 00:29 |
| knome | heh | 00:30 |
| owen1_ | i try burning xubuntu 9.04 cd with xfburn (on slow speed) and get "Burn run failed (0)" "Segmentation fault". this is the second time i get it. any ideas? | 01:50 |
| xron | owen1_: try another burner and run DAO. I never had luck with xfburn | 02:01 |
| xron | I like K3b | 02:02 |
| owen1_ | xron: i'll try K3b. thanks | 02:03 |
| xron | just be aware. K3b is huge, being from 'K'.. ya know. :) | 02:03 |
| owen1_ | xron: damn.. | 02:05 |
| owen1_ | xron: any other suggestions? | 02:05 |
| xron | ya... I hope that's not a problem. | 02:05 |
| xron | try one of the home made commands out there for buring an ISO | 02:06 |
| xron | just Google it. | 02:06 |
| xron | look for DAO and buring an ISO is all. | 02:06 |
| xron | if I could get X to run, I'd give you one of the commands from k3b, but sorry. | 02:07 |
| owen1_ | xron: np. thanks | 02:08 |
| xron | k3b as well as the others are just front ends to command line programs | 02:09 |
| owen1_ | i can't burn xubuntu 9.04 (get errors). if i'll install the alternate CD + xubuntu-desktop, will it be the same as xubuntu CD? | 04:31 |
| genii | !md5 | 04:36 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 04:36 |
| genii | Corrupt image is the top source of burning problems | 04:37 |
| lsemple | Hi, I just freshly installed xubuntu, and I noticed that none of the xfce panels cpu monitoring apps work, | 04:38 |
| lsemple | I have tried cpufreq, cpu frequency monitor, cpugraph | 04:38 |
| owen1_ | genii: i run the checksum and it's ok. | 04:41 |
| genii | owen1_: The alternate installer will install regular desktop same as the livecd one. Just that it has a text-only install system and no xubuntu live system running off it when you boot to cd | 04:42 |
| lsemple | the cpu frequency monitor does nothing | 04:46 |
| lsemple | for xfce4-panel | 04:46 |
| owen1_ | genii: i know, but someone told me xfce4 alone might couse issues when upgrading. | 04:50 |
| genii | owen1_: I haven't heard anything to that effect. But every system is different of course. | 04:50 |
| owen1_ | genii: i'll try it. | 04:51 |

| Aqa | any good light fast download manager? | 13:13 |
| MikeChelen | Aqa, downthemall firefox addon works alright | 13:14 |
| Aqa | MikeChelen, i do not like that , that is with less options | 13:14 |
| _Pete_ | wget/curl are excellent | 13:14 |
| Aqa | _Pete_, i also dont like that , too less features | 13:15 |
| MikeChelen | Aqa, what options are you looking for? | 13:18 |
| Aqa | MikeChelen, there were many good download managers in xp, free download manager etc, with auto shut down option, speed limit settings option | 13:18 |
| Aqa | i will suicide if i dont get such in xubuntu | 13:21 |
| MikeChelen | Aqa, downthemall has a speed limit option | 13:21 |
| MikeChelen | iirc | 13:21 |
| Aqa | MikeChelen, where to set that | 13:21 |
| Aqa | MikeChelen, i want this http://valentine.viviti.com/entries/softwares/linx-ubuntu-mint-download-manager-aria | 13:22 |
| Aqa | how to get aria | 13:22 |
| MikeChelen | yeah aria is good too | 13:23 |
| MikeChelen | think it is synaptic, might be aria2 | 13:23 |
| Aqa | oh i am downloading other files i cant run synaptic till one hour | 13:25 |
| Aqa | aria has speed limit option, auto shutdown, speed limit option in 3steps, low, medium, full etc very light and fast download manager | 13:26 |
| MikeChelen | yup aria2 is available: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/aria2 | 13:27 |
| Aqa | MikeChelen, i am xubuntu user? | 13:28 |
| MikeChelen | Aqa, its fine, they all use the same packages | 13:28 |
| MikeChelen | xubuntu itself is actually a set of packages for ubuntu | 13:29 |
| Aqa | but it looks different and fast i only saw some things similar in it | 13:29 |
| MikeChelen | Aqa, yeah the desktop environment is xfce instead of gnome so it uses less resources | 13:31 |
| MikeChelen | deep down its the same though | 13:31 |
| MikeChelen | xubuntu has different programs enabled as default, which are faster than regular ubuntu | 13:31 |
| Aqa | MikeChelen, i do not like commands :( | 13:35 |
| MikeChelen | Aqa, lol, what commands? | 13:36 |
| Aqa | those sudo etc gsudo | 13:37 |
| MikeChelen | oh they are great once you get used to them though | 13:37 |
| MikeChelen | you can use synaptic gui if you prefer though | 13:37 |
| MikeChelen | applications > system > synaptic package manager | 13:37 |
| Aqa | m | 13:42 |
| Aqa | MikeChelen, what was terminal command to mount ntfs drives | 13:42 |
| MikeChelen | Aqa, should be mounted automatically in /media otherwise edit fstab | 13:44 |
| TheSheep | !ntfs | 13:45 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 13:45 |
| Aqa | MikeChelen, how gk sudo mousepad fstab | 13:45 |
| Aqa | sheep also uses linux :D | 13:45 |
| MikeChelen | Aqa, yeah to edit fstab would be: gksudo mousepad /etc/fstab | 13:46 |
| Aqa | TheSheep, that does not seem easy method :-s | 13:47 |
| TheSheep | nothing related to windows is easy | 13:48 |
| TheSheep | they put a lot of effort to make sure of that | 13:48 |
| Aqa | MikeChelen, what to edit in fstab | 13:48 |
| Aqa | TheSheep, wew :-S | 13:48 |
| MikeChelen | Aqa, might be easier to use ntfs-config https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G | 13:50 |
| Aqa | MikeChelen, what is aptitude and apt-get | 13:52 |
| MikeChelen | Aqa, apt-get is the package manager program | 13:52 |
| MikeChelen | used for installing and uninstalling software | 13:56 |
| Aqa | MikeChelen, since when are using linux brother? | 13:57 |
| Aqa | you are * | 13:58 |
| MikeChelen | Aqa, probably 3-4 years, although only as desktop for 1-2 | 13:58 |
| MikeChelen | Aqa, hope you are liking it so far :) | 13:59 |
| Aqa | i am late to come to linux people put me on xp | 13:59 |
| Aqa | yes yes :) | 13:59 |
| MikeChelen | better late than never :) | 13:59 |
| MikeChelen | its good to learn many operating systems, linux seems more powerful than xp after getting some experience | 14:00 |
| Aqa | very powerful | 14:02 |
| Aqa | i heard no virus on linux and i got no virus yet | 14:02 |
| Aqa | and its free with free support and free updates | 14:02 |
| knome | practically there is not viruses on linux | 14:02 |
| knome | and even if there were, you would have to insert your root password to make any damage | 14:03 |
| Aqa | oh thats why it asks always password on installations too etc | 14:03 |
| Pres-Gas | Hey all | 14:06 |
| Aqa | Pres-Gas, hi | 14:09 |
| MikeChelen | Aqa, yeah which really helps for productivity, and to have powerful professional software that is legal | 14:11 |
| hapless | I have a scripted called ~/runconky.sh that contains "#!/bin/sh sleep 10 exec /usr/bin/conky" how do I run it at startup? I put it in my .xsessionrc file like this "/home/user/bin/runconky.sh &" but it doesn't seem to fire ?? | 14:50 |
| hapless | just got a suggestion. trying it out... | 14:52 |
| xron | for some reason all of a sudden my xorg/X can't intitialize my graphics card -- NVIDIA. Should I fix this first and then update my system to the latest kernel, or update first. | 15:40 |
| xron | I just don't know what next to do to solve this issue. | 15:40 |
| xron | and what's the program that updates nvidia drivers in the first place. I can't seem to find it. | 15:40 |
| xron | it just makes no sense that something went wrong all of a sudden. Everything was fine until I shutdown my machine and rebooted. | 15:41 |
| Devilsprey99 | my monitor goes numb when I logout | 15:42 |
| charlie-tca | Tried shutdown and rebooting again? Hardware Drivers in Applications -> System installs nVidia drivers; | 15:43 |
| charlie-tca | Update Manager should keep them up to date after installing them | 15:43 |
| Devilsprey99 | does anyone know how to setup shortcut keys for keyboard layout switching in intrepid | 15:43 |
| charlie-tca | Devilsprey99: what is "numb" ? | 15:43 |
| xron | charlie-tca: yes. And I don't have gui available... so no I can't go to applications menu. | 15:44 |
| Devilsprey99 | blank | 15:44 |
| Devilsprey99 | dark | 15:44 |
| Devilsprey99 | nothin | 15:44 |
| xron | that is I'm in cli mode.. | 15:44 |
| charlie-tca | xron: are you running a server? | 15:44 |
| xron | no server | 15:44 |
| Devilsprey99 | this happens when i enter ctrl+alt+bkspce as well | 15:45 |
| xron | just wouldn't boot X when I rebooted. | 15:45 |
| charlie-tca | Devilsprey99: using automatic login? | 15:45 |
| Devilsprey99 | no | 15:45 |
| charlie-tca | xron: I can't help with that. | 15:46 |
| xron | thanks.. it's weird. | 15:47 |
| xron | but I kind of like this, but it's kind of hard to watch video without X, no... :) | 15:47 |
| Devilsprey99 | charlie-tca: how abt keyboard shortcuts | 15:47 |
| charlie-tca | xron: I wouldn't know, I use X | 15:47 |
| xron | I dream of the day where I boot into CLI and then run X on virtual terminals (tty).. | 15:48 |
| xron | that when if X crashes then I don't crash. | 15:48 |
| charlie-tca | That is what it does anyway, using TTY7 | 15:49 |
| xron | but still, sometimes you can't even get to another virtual terminal when tty7 crashes. Don't know why though. | 15:49 |
| charlie-tca | Devilsprey99: booting 8.10 | 15:50 |
| xron | let me try to update and see what happens. It can't hurt at the moment. | 15:50 |
| charlie-tca | Devilsprey99: should have asked, what version are you running? | 15:50 |
| Devilsprey99 | intrepid | 15:50 |
| Devilsprey99 | i upgraded from hardy | 15:50 |
| charlie-tca | Okay, Applications -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Keyboard | 15:52 |
| Devilsprey99 | after that | 15:52 |
| Devilsprey99 | it allows u to switch layouts | 15:52 |
| charlie-tca | 2nd tab, Shortcuts, Add, create new theme | 15:52 |
| charlie-tca | Use your own theme name | 15:52 |
| charlie-tca | Then you can add the shortcut to it | 15:53 |
| charlie-tca | using the Add button on the right | 15:53 |
| Devilsprey99 | whats the command for keyboard layout witching or changing | 15:54 |
| Devilsprey99 | which binary file to choose | 15:57 |
| charlie-tca | looking | 15:58 |
| charlie-tca | Do you have the layouts added already? | 16:02 |
| Devilsprey99 | yes | 16:02 |
| Devilsprey99 | i want to switch between nepali and us | 16:03 |
| charlie-tca | You can add the keyboard switcher to the panel, then. Just right click the panel, left click "Add new items", left click keyboard switcher | 16:03 |
| Devilsprey99 | well i did that | 16:04 |
| Devilsprey99 | i want keyboard shortcut key | 16:04 |
| Devilsprey99 | either alt or win key to change layout when pressed | 16:05 |
| charlie-tca | lost me now | 16:07 |
| Devilsprey99 | i want to change layout while typing when i press alt | 16:09 |
| Devilsprey99 | and i want to switch layout when pressing win kety from keyboard | 16:09 |
| Devilsprey99 | how do i setup that | 16:10 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know | 16:10 |
| Devilsprey99 | what do i do about my screen going dark when i logout or press alt+ctrl+bkspce | 16:11 |
| TheSheep | Devilsprey99: what graphics card? | 16:12 |
| Devilsprey99 | intel chipset | 16:17 |
| Devilsprey99 | 845 | 16:17 |
| TheSheep | hmm... didn't have any trouble with that one :/ | 16:17 |
| TheSheep | so, the x server doesn't start ofter you kill it? | 16:18 |
| Devilsprey99 | 512 mb ram and 1.8 p4 cpu | 16:18 |
| Devilsprey99 | yep something like that | 16:18 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | xron: on a side note, many people end prhases with ", no" would you mind explaining this inflection to me, as an Ameican this is not a phrase we use and I really don't understand its meaning or usage | 16:18 |
| TheSheep | can you stil lswitch virtual consoles with alt+ctrl+f1, f2 etc? | 16:18 |
| TheSheep | DetroitLibertyPe: wrong channel, no? | 16:19 |
| Devilsprey99 | TheSheep, , not tried yet | 16:19 |
| TheSheep | Devilsprey99: if you can, try logging in in one of them and doing 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart' | 16:20 |
| Devilsprey99 | TheSheep, | 16:20 |
| Devilsprey99 | ok | 16:20 |
| Devilsprey99 | anyone to help with shortcuts | 16:21 |
| TheSheep | Devilsprey99: I'd read about xkb rules, or xmodmap | 16:21 |
| TheSheep | Devilsprey99: but I don't know a ready solution | 16:21 |
| Devilsprey99 | ok | 16:22 |
| Devilsprey99 | i have got some results as well but it seems perplex | 16:22 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | TheSheep: "DetroitLibertyPe, you are in the wrong channel" I have never actually heard a person end a question with no. Is it like how cannadians use the word "eh?", undestandable, that this should be in #xubuntu-offtopic | 16:25 |
| charlie-tca | DetroitLibertyPe: I believe it is used similar to , isn't it? | 16:26 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | AH! | 16:26 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | OK | 16:26 |
| CCollins1 | Hello, I was curious if someone could help me with a question I have? | 17:08 |
| Slonkie | !question | CCollins1 | 17:09 |
| ubottu | CCollins1: 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. :-) | 17:09 |
| CCollins1 | In the filesystem can the folder properties be changed from "read only" to "read/write"? | 17:10 |
| TheSheep | CCollins1: right-click on it, select properties, then permissions tab, then change them | 17:11 |
| CCollins1 | what if they are greyed out? | 17:12 |
| Pres-Gas | CCollins1, is the user you are running as the owner of that file? | 17:13 |
| CCollins1 | its the only user I have set up since a fresh install. | 17:14 |
| Pres-Gas | CCollins1, what folder is it, something you created or a folder supplied by the system? Maybe give us the full pathname? | 17:15 |
| CCollins1 | I am specifically trying to change usr/local/bin/ | 17:15 |
| Pres-Gas | Ahh, well that is owned by root | 17:15 |
| CCollins1 | in the filesystem | 17:15 |
| CCollins1 | can the read/write property be changed? | 17:16 |
| Pres-Gas | It is not a good practice to make that directory writable by anyone...what are you wanting to accomplish, CCollins1? | 17:16 |
| CCollins1 | install peergardian and place a filters list, as described in a forum I was reading. | 17:17 |
| CCollins1 | sudo cp peerguardian.sh /usr/local/bin | 17:17 |
| J_Litewski | CCollins1, are you trying to give peerguardian.sh read/write abilities? | 17:19 |
| CCollins1 | no, only copy a file into the /usr/local/bin/ directory | 17:19 |
| J_Litewski | then 'sudo cp peerguardian.sh /usr/local/bin/' should do the trick | 17:20 |
| J_Litewski | do you have a terminal open? | 17:20 |
| CCollins1 | the folder property is read only :) | 17:20 |
| CCollins1 | yes | 17:20 |
| J_Litewski | shouldn't matter | 17:20 |
| J_Litewski | just a sec | 17:20 |
| Slonkie | it's read only for your user | 17:21 |
| Slonkie | but when you run it with sudo you run it with root user | 17:21 |
| J_Litewski | yea, i can cp a file into /usr/local/bin no problem | 17:22 |
| CCollins1 | mine states cp: cannot create regular file 'usr/local/bin': no such file or directory | 17:24 |
| Slonkie | its /usr/local/bin/ | 17:25 |
| Slonkie | not usr/local/bin | 17:25 |
| J_Litewski | you need the / | 17:25 |
| CCollins1 | thank you | 17:25 |
| CCollins1 | :D | 17:25 |
| J_Litewski | like windohs needs C:/ | 17:25 |
| J_Litewski | i kinda feel bad, my system, after 2 years of using xfce, crashed | 17:27 |
| J_Litewski | now i'm using a hybrid of gnome and xfce | 17:28 |
| Slonkie | Sucks to be you, J_Litewski ;). | 17:28 |
| J_Litewski | heh, theres it's ups and downs | 17:28 |
| J_Litewski | so far it's been rock stable | 17:29 |
| J_Litewski | minus the fact that it doesn't shut down at all :/ | 17:30 |
| J_Litewski | I can't wait to get the HP 1000 Mini with Mi installed :P | 17:32 |
| J_Litewski | thats a sexy ubuntu | 17:32 |
| Devilsprey99 | any idea on setting up keyboard shortcuts for switchin layout | 17:37 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | J_Litewski:really, my Xubuntu box crashes most everyday, about as often as when it had XP | 17:38 |
| J_Litewski | DetroitLibertyPe, is it a fresh install? | 17:39 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | it was back at 8.04, but nothing has changed that since goign to 8.10 and 9.0 | 17:40 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | *9.04 | 17:40 |
| J_Litewski | i say do a fresh install | 17:40 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | excpet of course with 9.04 I don't get the ease of CTRL+ALT+ESC or CTRL+ALT+backspace anymore | 17:40 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | oh, that's too much work, If i was going to do that, I'd leave ubuntu and go back to Puppy, or try a different distro | 17:41 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | but I have limited time to tinker, so with it working, good enough, well, that's good enough, I guess | 17:41 |
| J_Litewski | eh | 17:41 |
| J_Litewski | i like the *buntu series | 17:42 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | I like the synaptech package manager, and apt-get, but other than that "yawn" it really doesn't excite me, like when I first got into Linux, but then again, I had more tinkering time, | 17:43 |
| DetroitLibertyPe | I think if I was going to start over, I'd just back up the Home directory and start with, I don't know, maybe a 100% free debian with LXDE | 17:44 |
| nikin | hy | 17:54 |
| nikin | how can i make xubuntu 9.04 start the application in normal size.. not fullscreen | 17:54 |
| nikin | ? | 17:54 |
| Devilsprey99 | \join #bhoot | 17:56 |
| nikin | found it.. i have to disable maimus | 18:01 |
| nikin | exit | 18:02 |
| likemindead | How do you fix a GPG Error EXPIREDKEY? | 18:12 |
| zoredache | likemindead: find the updated key and install it into the keychain | 18:13 |
| likemindead | Hmmm.... where do you find updated keys? | 18:18 |
| zoredache | that depends on the key | 18:20 |
| Blanchy | I need to trim up the resource usage on a fresh xubuntu 9.04 install. one of the processes running that I don't need is gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor. I can't find out where it's started from. Anyone know? | 18:25 |
| charlie-tca | got a camera installed? | 18:35 |
| charlie-tca | the source package is 'libgphoto2', gphoto2 digital camera library | 18:38 |
| charlie-tca | appears to be used by both scanners and printers, among other things | 18:39 |
| xron | is there any way to post to ubuntu forums using a text browser? | 18:59 |
| xron | wow... | 18:59 |
| xron | X ain't running. | 18:59 |
| charlie-tca | I would ask that in ##beginners-help, which is run by forum people | 19:00 |
| xron | tks | 19:01 |

| titan_ark | :S | 19:34 |
| titan_ark | any suggestions? | 19:36 |
| vidd | you may want to backup (via network) and re-install | 19:36 |
| titan_ark | but why the problem on both OSes | 19:37 |
| titan_ark | i just reinstalled xp a week back! :'( | 19:37 |
| Pres-Gas | Okay, so I set up my machine to authenticate with krb5...but attempted to create a user with an encrypted home...not sure how those would work together....hmmmm, can log in, but no prompt | 20:30 |
| FelineMonstrosit | Hi. I used to have a volume control in my panel and for some reason now it's disappeared and I can't figure out how to get it back. Suggestions? (I've tried the add new item menu and had a look through the settings) | 20:40 |
| ochosi | FelineMonstrosit, what version of xfce/xubuntu are you using? | 20:42 |
| vidd | FelineMonstrosit, did this disappear when you upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04? | 20:43 |
| ron_o | I just had the wackiest things happen. | 20:50 |
| vidd | ron_o, what? | 20:51 |
| ron_o | when i rebooted, everything worked fine, But then when I shutdown completely my graphics card wasn't recognized. | 20:51 |
| ron_o | I spent the past 3 hours working on it. so I decided to try a liveCD. Guess what? The same issues. | 20:51 |
| vidd | ron_o, have you restarted x? | 20:51 |
| ron_o | only when I completely shut of my computer, in the back, and then restart it from scratch (not rebooting) did my X come back up. | 20:52 |
| ron_o | sure, I tried restarting it, and such.. | 20:52 |
| ron_o | man, weird! | 20:52 |
| ron_o | must be something in the BIOS. When you reboot, the BIOS isn't fully rebooted is it? | 20:52 |
| vidd | ron_o, no | 20:53 |
| ron_o | that must have been it. | 20:53 |
| ron_o | anyway, it's working now. So I must leave well enough alone. | 20:53 |
| vidd | the bios is never "rebooted" unless the cmos is cleared or the battery dies | 20:53 |
| ron_o | you're right. | 20:53 |
| ron_o | I don't get it. | 20:53 |
| ron_o | I don't get what happened. I just hope it doesn't happen again. | 20:54 |
| vidd | but when the system loses power (kill switch on the back, power outage) a complete POST is done | 20:54 |
| ron_o | that's what I meant. | 20:54 |
| vidd | =] | 20:54 |
| ron_o | mental note: shut off all power and maybe your computer will treat you well. | 20:55 |
| vidd | ron_o, no...if your system starts acting like a M$ system, strave it, and it behave =] | 20:55 |
| ron_o | starve? | 20:55 |
| vidd | "deprive of food" | 20:56 |
| ron_o | misspelled. :) | 20:56 |
| vidd | in a computer's case...power | 20:56 |
| ron_o | I know.. you misspelled it. | 20:56 |
| * vidd is NOT an english professor! | 20:56 | |
| ron_o | anyways, I know I really hate using a text based browser. | 20:56 |
| PeterDarkness | Has anyone had trouble with 'Shared Folders' crashing? | 20:56 |
| ron_o | things about useless for anything except reading a few pages. | 20:57 |
| PeterDarkness | I try to open it up from Applications --> System but everytime it loads up it crashes a few seconds after appearing onscreen. | 20:57 |
| vidd | have you used shared folders b4? | 20:58 |
| ron_o | can you get it to run in a terminal? it might tell you what's going on. | 20:58 |
| PeterDarkness | Not sure what command I would use to load that up ron_o | 20:58 |
| PeterDarkness | Yes vidd, I had configured a shared folder file previously, it worked for about a week then this started happening. | 20:58 |
| ron_o | try apropos | 20:59 |
| vidd | PeterDarkness, is the shred drive available? | 20:59 |
| * vidd needs a new keyboard! | 20:59 | |
| PeterDarkness | I don't follow. | 21:00 |
| vidd | PeterDarkness, when you set this app up.... | 21:00 |
| * charlie-tca thinks it is difficult to teach these keyboards to spell right | 21:01 | |
| vidd | you set up folders that are shared | 21:01 |
| PeterDarkness | Right | 21:01 |
| vidd | are all those folders online? | 21:01 |
| PeterDarkness | No they are not. | 21:01 |
| vidd | try getting them online, see if that helps any' | 21:02 |
| PeterDarkness | Well, whenever I try to do anything related to SAMBA I get this "Can't do setuid (cannot exec sperl) | 21:03 |
| PeterDarkness | <-- Totally clueless on this | 21:03 |
| vidd | PeterDarkness, for the record...the CLI command is shares-admin | 21:04 |
| PeterDarkness | Ty, that returns with a GTK warning | 21:04 |
| vidd | PeterDarkness, your perl is missing/corrupt | 21:05 |
| PeterDarkness | So fix with synaptic yes? | 21:05 |
| vidd | dunno | 21:05 |
| vidd | i dont use samba | 21:05 |
| vidd | i move files with FTP | 21:05 |
| PeterDarkness | I'll play with it. Thanks for the help :) | 21:10 |
| manpoole | for 512mb ram would you recommend ubuntu or xubuntu? | 22:35 |
| SiDi | xubuntu | 22:37 |
| SiDi | but i'd recommand it for 8gb ram too | 22:37 |
| charlie-tca | definitely sounds like the perfect size for Xubuntu | 22:37 |
| charlie-tca | and works better than 256mb | 22:38 |
| manpoole | cool | 22:38 |
| manpoole | i have another computer i tried with 256 on xubuntu and switched to debian and some lightweight window manager | 22:39 |
| manpoole | but i wanted to let my friend try linux so ill give him a xubuntu live cd | 22:39 |
| SiDi | manpoole: if you find xubuntu slow with 256, just make sure to remove update-notifier / jockey from startup and you should gain 40 MB ram already :p | 23:07 |
| manpoole | wow | 23:24 |
| zoredache | manpoole: flip that around and it says 'mom' | 23:25 |
| knome | zoredache, you are a clever boy. | 23:32 |
| zoredache | not really, kinda bored is more accurate | 23:33 |
| joey_ | I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty. I've switched to xfce, which I love. it runs a lot faster. Anyways, it seems like, even though I run xfce and chose it in the sessions menu, gnome is still controlling some functions. It seems to render the desktop, and nautilus still pops up as the default file manager. Does anyone know how to fix this? | 23:42 |
| MikeChelen | joey_, did you install the xubuntu-desktop package? | 23:56 |
