[00:10] <karelm> Hi, I'm running ubuntu 8.10 but installed xubuntu-desktop. Totem starts up fast but keeps loading for about 30 seconds before I can use it (loading a movie? another 20 seconds) When using a gnome session, everything is fine. On terminal I get a warning about "failed to create dbus proxy for org.gnome.SettingsDaemon: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name"... any ideas?
[02:41] <Carlis> The pc says me is connected but I don`t see the content of the pages. How do i fix this issue ?
[02:43] <Carlis> HI
[02:43] <Carlis> who can help me =
[02:43] <Carlis> ?
[02:44] <Carlis> Hi
[02:44] <Carlis> I need help
[02:46] <rallEy4> perhaps you might define what "the pages" are? and then tell what you are connected to?
[02:47] <Carlis> google
[02:48] <Carlis> I am connected to the wireless
[02:48] <Carlis> The driver of the wireless is: rtl8187
[02:49] <Carlis> is rtl8187 a generic driver ?
[02:49] <Carlis> rallEy4 ?
[02:50] <rallEy4> Are you on a different machine now?
[02:50] <Carlis> yes
[02:52] <rallEy4> open a terminal window and type ifconfig and see if that lists anything good?
[02:53] <Carlis> is there any command to go to the terminal ?
[02:53] <rallEy4> Yea, should be under Applications >> Terminal
[02:54] <Carlis> I mean command
[02:54] <Carlis> I press alt +f2 =  ??  What command do i write there ?
[02:55] <rallEy4> xfce4-terminal
[02:56] <Carlis> ok
[02:57] <rallEy4> now in the terminal, type ifconfig
[02:57] <rallEy4> list all of the words that appear on the left-most side of the output
[02:58] <Carlis> eth0
[02:58] <Carlis> lo
[02:58] <Carlis> wlan0
[02:59] <Carlis> wmaster0-00
[03:00] <Carlis> what else do i have to say u rallEy4 ?
[03:02] <rallEy4> actually, I'm not sure at this point.
[03:03] <rallEy4> do each of those listings have an inet address listed?
[03:03] <rallEy4> should be the second line down for each block
[03:04] <Carlis> I have these:
[03:05] <Carlis> 192.168.1.5

[03:11] <Carlis> sorry
[03:11] <Carlis> What do i do ralley4 ?
[03:12] <stephen_> rallEy4> which one of the interfaces is that listed beside?
[03:13] <Carlis> can u help me stephen ??
[04:21] <cjones> whats a good program to use for network back up s
[04:31] <sml1226> holy crap 1300 people in #ubuntu, that's why I get no help there!
[04:32] <sml1226> Is there an advantage to running 64-bit version of a distro?
[04:32] <knome> yes.
[04:33] <sml1226> Other than 4+ GB ram?
[04:33] <knome> some. at least there is no big drawbacks so if you specifically don't need 32-bit, you should use 64-bit
[04:34] <sml1226> Can I run 32-bit and 64-bit on same hard drive?
[04:34] <sml1226> I mean same partition
[04:34] <knome> side by side at the same time no, but you can have 32-bit subsystems.
[04:35] <knome> umh... it's not really about partitions.
[04:35] <sml1226> Not at same time just without having to boot again
[04:35] <knome> you can have a 32-bit subsystem
[04:35] <sml1226> Oh that was about partitions
[04:36] <sml1226> How do you do that? Just need to know on new machine
[04:36] <knome> so basically you install a 64-bit system and then kind of inside it, you have a 32-bit subsystem
[04:36] <knome> what's the reason you need 32-bit subsystem?
[04:36] <sml1226> Ok so install 32-bit version inside 64-bit?
[04:37] <Poopface> Anyone have a solution to this error: "Could not find kernal image: Linux" when trying to boot from usb??
[04:37] <sml1226> Just in case it doesn't work on 64, not needed just to have in case
[04:37] <knome> !chroot
[04:37] <knome> i'd say you should not install a subsystem until you need it.
[04:38] <sml1226> Ok looks cool, just 64 then. Didn't really know.
[04:38] <knome> yep. i've used 32-bit subsystem for flash in the days where no real flash plugin existed for 64-bit and i can tell, it wasn't particularly enjoyable.
[04:39] <sml1226> Going to run Ubuntu and Xubuntu both on the new machine then. Or maybe Ubuntu and Kubuntu then.
[04:40] <knome> my personal opinion is also that you need only onw desktop environment :)
[04:40] <sml1226> Just to have different feels, I like customizing my UI a LOT. This will give me a lot of freedom there.
[04:40] <sml1226> :)
[04:41] <knome> hmmh. i like it once i've customised it.
[04:41] <knome> sounds like you don't know what you want ;)
[04:41] <sml1226> I mean I like to stick with what I have but I take forever finding it! :)
[04:42] <sml1226> Like my Ubuntu now but also like KDE just too slow to run it now.
[04:42] <knome> hah
[04:42] <knome> ;)
[04:42] <sml1226> well with effects enabled :) NO COMPIZ is annoying!!!
[04:43] <knome> ...
[04:43] <sml1226> I miss it :'(
[04:43] <sml1226> Just to mess with really
[04:43] <knome> i like xubuntu with no compiz or compositor enabled.
[04:44] <sml1226> I can do a good looking Xubu without it but KDE kinda sucks w/o it
[04:44] <sml1226> :P
[04:44] <knome> there's as many tastes as there is users
[04:44] <sml1226> 300 people in Kubuntu room and nobody is talking!!!
[04:45] <knome> people are maybe sleeping or at work.
[04:45] <sml1226> I asked a question 15 mins ago and not a word since
[04:45] <sml1226> joining and leaving is all thats going on
[04:46] <knome> well in most irc clients you can ignore joins and parts
[04:47] <knome> (and quits)
[04:47] <sml1226> What you using now? I'm in pidgin
[04:47] <knome> irssi
[04:48] <knome> over ssh running in screen ;)
[04:48] <sml1226> hmmm never heard of it :)
[04:48] <knome> it's a totally boring text-mode client ;)
[04:49] <sml1226> know what window manager Kubuntu uses? just b/c no answer there.
[04:49] <knome> kubuntu uses kde.
[04:50] <sml1226> I know but Ubuntu uses Metacity and it has compositor, Xubu uses Xfwm4, KDE uses ???
[04:50] <sml1226> I need to know if ??? has a built in Compositor
[04:51] <knome> kwin i suppose.
[04:51] <sml1226> Ahh ok, yeah KDE is the desktop environment not the window manager.
[04:52] <knome> yes, but the window manager is tightly tied in actually all of the desktop environments.
[04:54] <sml1226> yeah but didn't know the wm, knew the de so thanks, need to try something now so see ya
[05:59] <binskipy2u_> is xfce that much more "stabler", faster, then gnome, kde on a say a...triple core processor with 4 gigs ram, 64bit?
[06:00] <knome> you might not feel the fastness, but it uses less resources, so you are left with more free.
[06:01] <knome> what comes in stability issues, i'd say that in my opinion xfce is the most stable dependless on the hardware specification.
[06:01] <binskipy2u_> i dont care about eye candy or compiz that crap
[06:01] <binskipy2u_> just like a fast computer
[06:01] <knome> i'm running on a quite similar hw that you listed
[06:02] <knome> yeah, i don't use compiz (or even the xfce compositor) either.
[06:02] <binskipy2u_> kde 4 is quirky and just does some crazy stuff every so often
[06:02] <binskipy2u_> and gnome is easy, comfy yet sometimes annoying
[06:02] <binskipy2u_> can you install the ubuntu/xubuntu restriced to get alll multimedia etc like kubuntu/xubuntu?
[06:03] <knome> what do you mean? the xubuntu-restricted-extras?
[06:03] <binskipy2u_> to play all multimedia
[06:04] <binskipy2u_> music, dvd, video, etc
[06:04] <knome> !multimedia
[06:43] <Laibsch> Hi, I'm new to XFCE.  Had it on my laptop for years and jumped in there for a few minutes, but was always put off by something.  I think I'll try it out a bit more seriously this time.
[06:43] <Laibsch> Coming from Gnome, I still don't know how to achieve a few things that I'm used to doing the "Gnome way".  I hope you don't mind a question or two.
[06:43] <Slonkie> Just ask the questions please.
[06:43] <Slonkie> !questions
[06:43] <Laibsch> I will as they come around, don't worry ;-)
[06:44] <Laibsch> I thought a small introduction was in order
[06:44] <Laibsch> OK, first question
[06:44] <Laibsch> Keyboard shortcuts
[06:44] <Laibsch> IIRC, XFCE is very configurable with Shortcuts which I really like
[06:45] <Laibsch> One shortcut I can't find is the keyboard shortcut for switching workspaces
[06:45] <Laibsch> Where is that set?
[06:48] <Laibsch> Ah, Ctrl+F1, not Ctrl+1
[07:04] <larsemil> is there a "core" package for xubuntu that doesnt pull all the progs i might not want, like abiword
[07:06] <TheSheep> larsemil: what do you want it to pull?
[07:07] <TheSheep> larsemil: there is xfce4 package
[07:07] <larsemil> ah thats the name of course
[07:07] <larsemil> thanks
[07:08] <larsemil> that was more like it
[07:08] <larsemil> :)
[07:19] <larsemil> should i use gdm or xdm or is there someone else?
[07:21] <TheSheep> xubuntu uses gdm
[07:21] <TheSheep> there is a bunch of more and less feature-complete ones
[07:21] <TheSheep> personally I just start x directly and lock the screen right after that
[07:22] <TheSheep> ok, I used to when I wans't too lazy to configure that, now I use gdm with autologin
[07:22] <larsemil> haha
[07:22] <larsemil> i know that. :)
[07:22] <larsemil> gdm pulls hell lot of deps again, will look into it. trying to save space on my eee
[07:32] <Laibsch> does xfce have the equivalent of Alt+F2 in Gnome to launch an application right from the keyboad without any mouse action?
[07:32] <TheSheep> it has
[07:32] <larsemil> what program to configure wlans?
[07:32] <TheSheep> network manager
[07:32] <TheSheep> same as in gnome
[07:33] <larsemil> ok thanks
[07:33] <larsemil> 125mb for a network manager? :O
[07:34] <TheSheep> you can also use some alternate ones
[07:34] <TheSheep> my guess is that it shars a lot fo deps with gdm
[07:34] <Laibsch> TheSheep: will you also tell me the equivalent?
[07:34] <TheSheep> shares*
[07:35] <TheSheep> wicd for example
[07:35] <larsemil> Laibsch: its the same
[07:39] <Laibsch> larsemil: really?
[07:40] <Laibsch> Interesting, I must be missing something
[07:40] <Laibsch> XFCE does nothing here for Alt+F2
[08:08] <Laibsch> The strange thing is that apparently this shortcut is defined in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml
[08:08] <Laibsch> but this one and others have no effect (same thing for xfce4-screenshoter)
[08:08] <Laibsch> Why are those settings ignored?
[08:11] <Laibsch> LP bug 366828
[08:15] <Laibsch> I ran xfce4-settings-helper once and now things work as they should.  Yahoo!
[08:20] <gharz> guys, why does my xubuntu doesn't automatically mount my ntfs and my linux partitions? ubuntu does. any idea?
[08:24] <om26er> hello'
[08:24] <om26er> i have a problem
[08:25] <om26er> when i bring a cursor on panel it changes
[08:25] <om26er> it is very annoying
[08:25] <om26er> is there any way to turn it off
[08:27] <ablomen> om26er, defign "changes", what does it do exactly?
[08:27] <om26er> when cursor goes there the icons become bigger
[08:28] <ablomen> hmm, are you using something like avant? anything else then the default panels?
[08:28] <om26er> no
[08:30] <om26er> i think
[10:43] <MikeChelen> could you take a screenshot?
[10:47] <kubuntu__> que me ofrece xubuntu que no tenga ubuntu
[10:48] <SiDi> !es
[10:48] <SiDi> La respuesta es XFCE
[10:52] <Slonkie> Lol
[10:59] <larsemil> any tips for a nice terminal emulator?
[11:00] <larsemil> and any tips for removing the "make a little ²" when pressing alt + 2 :)
[11:08] <gharz> guys, how do i install open office in xubuntu 9.10?
[11:11] <Slonkie> sudo apt-get install openoffice.org
[11:11] <Slonkie> ?
[11:11] <Slonkie> It's 3.0.1 in the repos.. do you need 3.1?
[11:17] <gharz> Slonkie: the latest if possible
[11:19] <gharz> Slonkie: why is it that i can't open other partitions in xubuntu? what i mean is it isn't mounted automatically. and one last thing, i'm on a windows network, i can't find the option to open a windows machine in the network ... how do i fix this?
[11:20] <Slonkie> The partitations problem, you'll have to add them to fstab to get them automaticly mounted. Help can be found at:
[11:20] <Slonkie> !fstab
[11:20] <Slonkie> Try using gigolo to access your windows machines/drives i'm guessing it is?
[11:39] <palang> hi guys, two questions.  First: how do I manually add stuff to the application menu?  Second, the mic works fine (headset), but is very very quite - what do I tweak to turn it up?
[11:40] <Slonkie> To add an application, make an .desktop file in /home/user/.local/share/Applications/
[11:41] <palang> ahhhhh!  thanks
[11:41] <Slonkie> You can just look and copy what needed in one of the other desktop files :)
[11:44] <palang> Slonkie, the file in .local/share/applications is called defaults.list - and it's blank!
[11:45] <palang> ...
[11:45] <Slonkie> okay
[11:45] <Slonkie> look in one of the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/
[11:45] <palang> ok.
[11:48] <palang> ok, i got one.  so I just kind of copy this, then use it as a template i guess? thanks for your time man
[11:48] <marcel> how to display conkey as root window in xfce?
[13:04] <rameshwo> i have ubuntu 8.10   how to upgrade to Xubuntu 9.04 ( i have got xubuntu 9.04) cd..
[13:04] <SiDi> Ubuntu or Xubuntu 8.01 ?
[13:04] <rameshwo> or  can i install xfce packages from the 9.04 iso disk ???
[13:04] <rameshwo> ubuntu 8.10
[13:04] <SiDi> ok, then you'll first have to install xubuntu-desktop
[13:04] <rameshwo> SiDi:  ubuntu 8.10
[13:04] <SiDi> its a virtual package containing all the xubuntu data
[13:05] <SiDi> then, remove ubuntu-desktop, the one for the ubuntu (gnome) data and settings
[13:05] <SiDi> and then, upgrade through the update-manager 's upgrade button, and you'll be in Xubuntu 9.04
[13:05] <rameshwo> SiDi: can  i install xubuntu-dekstop  from the Xubuntu iso of 9.04
[13:05] <rameshwo> SiDi: upgrading won't loose data ??
[13:06] <rameshwo> SiDi: can  i install xubuntu-dekstop in ubuntu 8.10   from the Xubuntu iso of 9.04
[13:06] <SiDi> upgrading wont make you lose data
[13:06] <SiDi> at worse you will lose some hand-installed apps that you can reinstall afterwards
[13:06] <SiDi> boot on your ubuntu 8.10 please
[13:07] <rameshwo> SiDi: that's  fine with me.. not much hand-installed apps
[13:07] <SiDi> you cant do it from a liveCD
[13:07] <rameshwo> SiDi: oo...
[13:08] <rameshwo> i actually wanted to change becasuse of old hardware 256 mb ram , 735 mhz processor...... i hope that xubuntu works well ???  ubuntu 8.10 was slow ??
[13:09] <SiDi> xubuntu will be faster, yes ;)
[13:09] <SiDi> what graphics card do you have ?
[13:09] <SiDi> if you have an intel i recommand you to stay on 8.10, some cards lack proper drivers for 9.04 (intel's fault :p)
[13:10] <rameshwo> SiDi: graphics card are also old.... not sure what type is it.. but intel processor.
[13:11] <SiDi> if its a nvidia you'll be ok for sure. if its an ATi probably too. if its a SiS or Intel i'd recommand you to find users with the same card and ask them how it works before upgrading
[13:11] <rameshwo> SiDi; ok..
[13:12] <rameshwo> i have some downloaded apps for ubuntu 8.10 ..  will it work on xubuntu also or i need to download another compatible one ??different apps for diff. desktops ????
[13:12] <SiDi> any ubuntu application works in xubuntu ;)
[13:14] <rameshwo> SiDi : ok..  but not k..  like kamarok , kmail ? will it also work  on xfce ?
[13:14] <SiDi> So, in resume : 1) sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 2) sudo apt-get autoremove ubuntu-desktop | 3) sudo apt-get upgrade | 4) sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[13:14] <SiDi> And then you'll be in Xubuntu 9.04
[13:14] <SiDi> rameshwo: they'll work too
[13:14] <SiDi> but i recommand you to try Exaile | Thunderbird instead :)
[13:15] <SiDi> you can also load the gnome / kde services in xfce, there's an option for that in Xubuntu's settings
[13:15] <rameshwo> SiDi: ooo ok. i just gave example ..
[13:17] <rameshwo> SiDi: actually my interent is poor. so takes time to download.. so i preferred installing from cd.. but  i now know  that it doesn't work.....
[13:17] <SiDi> it works with the alternate, actually ;)
[13:17] <SiDi> but not with the normal one
[13:18] <rameshwo> SiDi: yes... that's the prob... normal mean live ?
[13:18] <SiDi> rameshwo: at worse, if your home isnt with your system partition, you can just install Xubuntu 9.04 on your Ubuntu 8.10 partition
[13:18] <SiDi> and then reinstall your apps
[13:18] <SiDi> yeh, normal is the liveCD
[13:19] <rameshwo> yes the /   and all other in single partition... you mean that. ?
[13:19] <SiDi> yeh
[13:19] <SiDi> if you dont have a separate /home then you'll have to go through the painful process of upgrading
[13:20] <gharz>  guys, how do i connect to a windows network? in ubuntu it has nautilus where i can type the address network:/// to search for any windows windows... in xubuntu how do i do this?
[13:20] <rameshwo> ok i'm ready to have new upgrade deleting previous all datas...  ubuntu 8.10 works slow in my computer....
[13:20] <SiDi> !gigolo
[13:20] <gharz> !network
[13:20] <SiDi> gharz: use the application named "gigolo"
[13:20] <SiDi> rameshwo: make sure you saved all your documents before then ^^
[13:21] <rameshwo> SiDi: you seem to use Xubuntu ? why you prefer it over gnome n  kde ?
[13:21] <rameshwo> SiDi: ok sure...
[13:21] <SiDi> rameshwo: faster
[13:21] <SiDi> and i like xfwm
[13:21] <SiDi> i find xfce more flexible and efficient than gnome
[13:21] <rameshwo> SiDi:  xfwm is window manager for xfce ?
[13:21] <rameshwo> SiDi: oo..
[13:21] <SiDi> but well, i got 4GB of ram and a 8400GM so i _could_ run gnome :)
[13:22] <rameshwo> SiDi:  8400 GM   ?? graphics card?
[13:22] <gharz> SiDi: in gigolo, there's a field that says Location (URI)...
[13:23] <SiDi> gharz: i never really used it. I suppose you put the IP there
[13:23] <gharz> this is weird. i'm not familiar with xfce. i'm used to gnome . :(
[13:23] <SiDi> or maybe smb://the_ip/
[13:23] <SiDi> rameshwo: yes
[13:23] <gharz> SiDi: how about mounting the other partitions? xubuntu doesn't automatically mount my ntfs and ubuntu partitions...
[13:24] <SiDi> gharz: it does here. (well, i dont have any ntfs partition though)
[13:24] <SiDi> !fstab
[13:24] <SiDi> You can tweak your /etc/fstab file to tell it to explicitely mount some partitions
[13:26] <SiDi> anything else before i leave you, guys ?
[13:27] <rameshwo> SiDi: i hope the commands are the same.. for all xubuntu,ubuntu,kubuntu...
[13:28] <rameshwo> SiDi : apt-get...   and all others ??
[13:28] <SiDi> rameshwo: they are
[13:28] <SiDi> x/k/ubuntu are the same OS, rameshwo
[13:28] <SiDi> we just have different packages and config files by default
[13:29] <rameshwo> SiDi: ok...
[13:30] <rameshwo> SiDi: but there are less guys in xubuntu room compared to ubuntu n kubuntu..
[13:30] <SiDi> yeh
[13:30] <gharz> man, think i'm going back to my ubuntu :(
[13:30] <SiDi> its because we have less users :)
[13:30] <gharz> i'm really not use to xfce
[13:30] <SiDi> gharz: why not use nautilus for network tasks if thats what blocks you ?
[13:30] <gharz> missing my nautilus
[13:31] <gharz> ahh... u mean i can install nautilus here right?
[13:31] <rameshwo> SiDi: if i run xubuntu i hope my knowledge won't be any less than the one runnign ubuntu(gnome) ?????
[13:32] <gharz> SiDi: can i run compiz-fusion in xubuntu as well?
[13:32] <SiDi> gharz: yes but it'll replace the xfce WM by compizs one
[13:32] <gharz> SiDi: ahhh
[13:32] <gharz> ok
[13:32] <gharz> thanks.
[13:32] <SiDi> rameshwo: you'll have to learn the differences, but it should take you a few days to get use to it
[13:33] <rameshwo> SiDi: ok..but the heart of linux is CLI  and it's the same .  so  no problem i guess...
[13:33] <SiDi> yeh
[13:33] <SiDi> just a different GUi ;)
[13:34] <vidd> rameshwo, what did you switch from?
[13:34] <rameshwo> vidd: you mean ? switch to xubuntu or ubuntu ?
[13:34] <vidd> so from ubuntu to xubuntu
[13:35] <gharz> SiDi: there's gigolo on my system and it shows my partitions... but whenever i open/click the partition i'm getting this error     Connecting to "Partition1" failed.  You are not supposed to show G_IO_ERROR_FAILED_HANDLED in the UI. any idea why?
[13:36] <rameshwo> vidd: yes but it's been only 2-3 months i ran ubuntu 8.10  it was slow for my hardware . i learned that xfce was also there for lower hardwaes. so thinking to switch to xubuntu ....
[13:36] <SiDi> gharz: no, but people in #xfce may know
[13:36] <gharz> ok
[13:36] <gharz> thanks
[13:37] <rameshwo> vidd: but right now from wi****  xp  i'm hoping to get it deleted within few months afteri learn  a bit more linux..
[13:37] <vidd> gharz, try using that app as a superuser
[13:37] <gharz> vidd: i already did that... when i use superuser the partitions are not shown.
[13:37] <rameshwo> vidd: what makes u stick with xubuntu ?
[13:38] <gharz> only cdrom0 is there
[13:38] <vidd> as soon as my work goes virtual, i can delete all M$ from all the machinews except the gaming rig
[13:38] <vidd> gharz, no ideas then =\
[13:39] <vidd> rameshwo, i might not be with the project much longer....i run achient hardware....and xubuntu is getting to big
[13:39] <gharz> vidd: are you using xubuntu in connecting to other windows network? coz i'm currently in a windows environtment but the problem is i can't seem to find the way of opening a windoze shared folder. in thunar, i can't type the address.
[13:40] <vidd> gharz, you want to use samba for that
[13:40] <rameshwo> vidd: same here...ancient hardware
[13:40] <vidd> but if you have the address for the sared drive...do this:
[13:40] <gharz> vidd: u mean i still have to install samba on xubuntu?
[13:40] <vidd> well...yeah
[13:41] <vidd> you need firefox installed to look at web pages....right?
[13:41] <vidd> but anyway....
[13:41] <vidd> if you have the network address for a network share....
[13:41] <gharz> vidd: let us say for example the network is MYNETWORK (server 2003) and some computers also attached to the network. in MYNETWORK i have 1 shared folder there named Shared$... the question now is how do i access this?
[13:42] <vidd> like \\machine\drive
[13:42] <vidd> gharz, ^^ yes? no?
[13:42] <gharz> vidd: in firefox?
[13:42] <gharz> i can't seem to enter the address in thunar
[13:43] <vidd> gharz, no...in M$ "map network drive"
[13:43] <gharz> vidd: the file is already shared.
[13:43] <rameshwo> gharz; you meant the shared folder in every windoz networked computer ?
[13:45] <gharz> rameshwo: no... in MYNETWORK server there is 1 shared folder named Shared$... my question now is how do i access this? in thunar there is no Network option like in Nautilus.
[13:45] <vidd> gharz, do you use "windows network" or do you map network drive on the windows machines?
[13:45] <gharz> vidd: i don't map network drive
[13:45] <vidd> then use samba
[13:46] <vidd> gharz, there is no network option because samba is nopt installed by default
[13:46] <gharz> vidd: see in nautilus, i'll just type the address network:///MYNETWORK and it will show me all the computers connected to the MYNETWORK and i'll just click the name of the computer which i want to connect and open files
[13:46] <gharz> ok
[13:46] <gharz> vidd: so i'll just run sudo apt-get install samba ?
[13:47] <vidd> gharz, i would assume
[13:47]  * vidd does not use samba
[13:47] <gharz> ok
[13:47] <gharz> thanks!
[13:47]  * vidd maps network drives
[13:48] <vidd> gharz, do you know the name of the machine on your network that has this shared folder?
[13:49] <gharz> vidd: our domain name is, ie. NETWOWK. i want to connect to COMPUTER1 which is having a shared folder named shared$.
[13:49] <gharz> vidd: that's what i want to accomplish.
[13:49] <gharz> and i can't find a solution to this
[13:49] <vidd> so this is what you can do without using samba.....
[13:50] <vidd> create a directory to alias that folder....
[13:50] <gharz> vidd: OK.
[13:50] <vidd> i.e. /media/windows_share
[13:50] <vidd> then you mount it.
[13:50] <vidd> is the files systen ntfs or fat?
[13:51] <gharz> ntfs
[13:51] <gharz> vidd: here's my question... what would be the path of the w$ shared folder then?
[13:51] <gharz> \\machine\shared$
[13:52] <gharz> i think it requires authentication to open this.
[13:52] <vidd> sudo mount.cifs //machine/shared$ /media/windows_share -o user='[windows username]'
[13:53] <vidd> sorry....had to dig thru my history to find the command
[13:53]  * vidd has already added the shared drive to fstab
[13:54] <gharz> vidd: mount.cifs?
[13:54] <vidd> yes...
[13:54] <vidd> i assume you want to be able to read and write to this drive?
[13:56] <gharz> vidd: yes
[13:56] <vidd> then you want to mount.cifs and not just mount
[13:56] <vidd> just mount is read only
[13:58] <vidd> and if you do not need to authenticate to access that share, then you can probably lose -o user= option
[13:58]  * vidd sees no reason to have samba if the drives are not going to be dynamic
[14:00] <vidd> gharz, actually, mount.cifs is for mounting network drives...se the man: mount.cifs - mount using the Common Internet File System (CIFS)
[14:00] <gharz> ok
[14:00] <gharz> thanks!
[14:01] <vidd> its a part of the samba suite
[14:01] <gharz> i'll check this xubuntu first. before going back to ubuntu if i find it difficult
[14:01] <gharz> :(
[14:01] <gharz> pero ok lang
[14:01] <gharz> may pera naman ako :))
[14:02] <gharz> ooopppsss... sorry
[14:02] <gharz> thanks, vidd!!!!
[14:02] <vidd> gharz, if you dont know the machine's hostname, you can substitue the ip
[14:02] <gharz> the ip is 192.168.10.2
[14:03] <gharz> and 10.5
[14:03] <gharz> these machines both have shared folders where ii access regularly
[14:04] <vidd> like mount.cifs //192.168.10.2/folder /media/first_share_folder_name
[14:04] <vidd> and mount.cifs //192.168.10.5/folder /media/second_share_folder_name
[14:05] <vidd> and use the -o user= option if you need to log into these drives
[14:06]  * vidd hopes that makes sense
[14:22] <ocs_>  Hi. when I try to access to a remote host through ssh with -X option I obtain this error:  /usr/bin/X11/xauth:  error in locking authority file /home/ocs/.Xauthority . any suggestion ?
[14:36] <SiDi> it comes from the machine you try to connect to. Looks like you dont have the right to open an X session through remote login. (but i may be wrong)
[14:37] <ocs_> all solved. for some xfce bug .Xautorithy was messed up. I deleted it and rebooted and all works

[17:29] <Araneidae> How can I configure keyboard autorepeat?
[17:30] <Araneidae> Sorry, stupid question, looking in wrong place!
[17:30] <vidd> Araneidae, like how much time you need to hold down a key to type the same character over and over?
[17:30] <Araneidae> Yes, that sort of thing.  I keep forgetting that the Settings menu isn't where I expect it
[17:30] <vidd> so you found it then?
[17:31] <Araneidae> yes, kind of obvious really.  I was looking under Applications/System, but the Settings menu was actually staring me in the face...
[17:32] <vidd> =]

[22:03] <S0210> Is there a "not fast" user switching available in 9.04?
[22:04] <Trabble> what do you mean?
[22:05] <S0210> In 8.04 I had a user switching on the shutdown panel... is there a way to put it back there?
[22:06] <S0210> (Right now I have the "fast user switch" on the panel but I have problems with it...)
[22:07] <S0210> I mean the shutdown popup dialog with buttons like logout/hibernate/shutown etc.
[22:07] <Trabble> ok...
[22:07] <Trabble> what problem do you have?
[22:08] <Trabble> ahhhh. i see..
[22:08] <S0210> Apart from design problems if I use the fast user switching than in the other user profile a my hotkeys do not work as expected
[22:09] <Trabble> ...
[22:09] <Trabble> no idea...sorry
[22:10] <S0210> :-)
[22:10] <Trabble> same with "ALT" + S
[22:10] <Trabble> wait
[22:10] <Trabble> "ALT" + "S-ABF" + "K"

[22:11] <S0210> what's s-abf?
[22:11] <Trabble> a key
[22:12] <Trabble> print
[22:12] <S0210> alt - print - k?
[22:15] <S0210> it's not really what I thought :-]
[22:15] <Trabble> same problem?
[22:15] <S0210> alt - print - k logs me out (competely)
[22:16] <S0210> (completely)
[22:16] <Trabble> :)
[22:16] <Trabble> ok...
[22:17] <Trabble> you just want to change....
[22:18] <Trabble> mhh...
[22:18] <S0210> yes... leaving the session of my wife untouched but having my hotkeys in the other account as well as my old saved session
[22:19] <S0210> technologically speaking :-)
