flinxI only see a white page17:20
flinxbut other pages, like zombo.com are working fine17:20
flinxits really confusing XD17:20
vinnlAh. Then I suppose the problem lies in the webpage... Only, it displays fine for me :S17:21
vinnlDo you happen to have AdBlock, FlashBlock or something installed?17:21
flinxweird.17:21
flinxI don't think so.17:21

BesogonI found it18:01
BesogonStill I didn't fing menu editor after I had upgraded from ubuntu8.10 to ubuntu 9.0418:03
TheSheepBesogon: there is none yet18:04
Besogonamfull. Why doesn't they use standart menu?18:05
vinnlWhat is "the standard menu"?18:06
Besogonstandart menu for gnome18:07
TheSheepBesogon: xfce uses the freedesktop standard for the menus18:07
TheSheepBesogon: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/menu-spec18:08
vinnlBecause that is a GNOME Panel applet, which doesn't work in the Xfce panel18:08
vinnlThey do want to fully support the specification TheSheep  linked to, but that just took too much time to be finished for this release. Once they do support it, you should be able to use GNOME's menu editor18:09
TheSheepvinnl: I thought they do suport it, just didn't write the editor yet18:10
vinnlTheSheep, they do, only not menu merging or something like that, which Alacarte needs18:11
TheSheepyeah, you can't edit without merging18:12
vinnlAnyway, I'm off for dinner, bye :)18:16
BesogonTheSheep, My old menu that I did myself dont work now. What is the reason?18:23

seeveeCan I copy files from a mounted iso image to perform a thumb drive install?22:13
seeveeI have the iso image saved to /home/me. Without burning a cd or using unetbootin (I don't want to switch to Windows), can I make the install?22:15
seeveeFor example mount -o /home/me/iso-image /mnt/iso and then copy the files over?22:15
viddseevee, yes...you can....22:16
viddnot 100% on the how22:16
viddbut you basically mount the iso as a cd, and install from there22:17
seeveeMy big question would be on the bootloader? How would I set up the bootloader after I copy the files over?22:17
