I have a remote printer that is installed to Windows XP, and I am trying to configure cups (localhost:631) to print to it. [01:17] R1cochet, Have you tried to reboot it? [01:17] it shows it is added in the printers sections, and that it is "idle, accepting jobs" [01:18] but the test page does not work, and there are no errors [01:19] anom01y, you could try to print a page from openoffice or something [01:19] walle, is there any command line way to print?

[04:17] xfce? [04:17] aptitude search xfce [04:41] Ok so i updated the generic kernal to .13 and it loaded to a blank screen.. [04:43] kernal? [04:44] I just installed the latest xubuntu 9.04 of the site, and first run update manager says there is a generic kernal update [04:44] sounds right [04:45] its like .11 right now, and it wants to go to .13, so i did the update and something went wrong [04:45] i could still lock screen to restart, but everything was blank.. something to do with a config file? [04:46] From 2.6.28-11 to 2.6.28-13 [04:47] use 2.6.28-11 if you have problem [04:47] indeed, well i just reinstalled fresh again.. learning my lesson [04:47] =.= [04:48] reinstall is never a good option [04:48] well it was fresh to begin with.. [04:49] so a new install was like... an extra 10min of waiting [04:50] But, what tools can i use if I find myself in that situation again? Can i start terminal? Is there a way to start thunar file manager etc? === freego is now known as forces [06:20] Hi all. [07:10] i lost the panel in 9.04. alt f2 xfce4 panel doesnt work [07:10] did they change it? [07:33] xfce-paner [07:33] xfce-panel [07:41] planetary, did you try it? [07:45] Failed to execute child process "xfce-panel" (No such file or directory) [07:46] oh wait [07:46] xfce4-panel [07:46] i forgot the dash [07:46] thanks [07:49] hi [07:49] what should i select when doing kernel update? [07:49] i have another ubuntu install on another partition (testing) [07:49] and hardy is updating its kernel [07:50] so i would like other options in grub intact, while updating hardy [07:51] whenever in past I were selecting "install maintainer`s version", whole grub was messed up and It was needed to edit menu.lst from backup, manually [07:51] so the question is what should I actually select? [07:52] and it states that "do a 3-way merge between versions is still experimental [08:13] ? [09:41] Has anyone had any issues when installing Xubuntu 9.04 onto HP 2133 mininote? [09:41] It seems that no matter which resolution I apply to it it always leaves part of the desktop out from the bottom and from the right of the screen. [09:41] Even with 800x600 [10:22] hey all, I'm trying to print to cd. I have (as advised) set up a 2nd printer for this purpose. I have cd set as the media, I have cd tray set as the source, I have this 2nd printer set as the printer for the job but all the jobs fail, can anyone help please? [10:30] sorry, got cut off by my son, I'm trying to print to cd. I have (as advised) set up a 2nd printer for this purpose. I have cd set as the media, I have cd tray set as the source, I have this 2nd printer set as the printer for the job but all the jobs fail, can anyone help please? [10:31] _print_ a cd-rom ? [10:31] do you mean burn, homebrewcider ? [10:32] no, print, as in label, directly onto the cd [10:32] not a paper label [10:32] my printer can (in Windows anyway) do that [10:34] no idea why it fails :/ [11:20] hey, are there any xubuntu netboot images available ? [12:26] i'm having trouble whit mount manager, it starts, asks for my password and then disapears... and one of hdd's partition is missing. xubuntu 9.04... the only way to get the other partition seen is when I open listen the music player and add some music from that partition, somehow its visible there. [13:12] s [13:14] can somebody help me to install nvidia drivers on xubuntu [13:14] jin menu=>system=>hardware drivers should be all you need, have you looked there? [13:16] no i havent, im just new to xubuntu. thanks i've seen it now. [13:16] :) [14:44] hiya, got a noob-ish question; does automounting cd's/hard drives work normally in xubuntu? [14:45] Yes it does [14:45] I just had some isues on one install, cant check it on any of the others and wondering if its becouse of my tweaking (I'm trying to set nautilus as the deflt file browser) or is it a system thing [14:45] ouch, nautilus [14:46] nautilus might want some GNOME daemons to run in order to have auto-mount enabled, but im not sure [14:46] for the permanently connected ones i just put them in my fstab so they're available for all users and during session bot [14:46] boot [14:46] !fstab [14:46] 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 [14:46] SiDi: yeah - mostly becouse of the integrated network shares support [14:46] damn [14:46] and for those that are plugged in and out they're managed by thunar perfectly [14:47] on the other hand thorn (?) is still there and the cd/hdd havent came up in to places menu [14:47] they do here :D [14:47] it manages cd-rom, sd cards and ext3/fat/ntfs usb sticks and HDDs [14:49] hmmm I guess I got a problem than. [14:51] anybody messing around with nautilus or is just me? === Odin is now known as Guest83745 === Odin is now known as Guest90820 [15:35] just you, harcesz :P [15:36] boooo-hooo-hoo === Odin is now known as Guest10430 === Odin is now known as Guest52848 === Odin is now known as Guest27117 [18:00] is karmic unstable than debian sid? do you have an idea? [18:00] Never tried sid [18:01] what about karmic [18:01] Karmic is alpha, it should be unstable right now [18:02] For a stable release, you want to use Jaunty 9.04. [18:02] ok [18:03] Karmic is not going to be reliably stable for a couple of months. There are many changes in it from 9.04 [18:04] cemunal, i suppose that karmic is more experimental than debians unstable. [18:04] hello charlie-tca :) [18:04] Hello, knome [18:04] Karmic is much more unstable than Jaunty was at this point [18:04] that too [18:05] Still can't burn cd-r's, still can't reliably log in daily, etc [18:06] Still working on the new/replacement gdm application [18:08] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso ««« can i install karmic from an ubuntu server to my desktop with this cd? [18:08] If it is working at this time [18:08] Oh, I don't know if you can from your own server [18:36] hi guys, something funny just happened to me. in thunar I right-clicked a folder that is located in /user/share/doc and I pressed "send to... Desktop (create link)". a linked was formed, but now I can't remove it [18:38] I think this is because the link (like the folder) belongs to the root user, but still how comes I have the power to create a link, but I don't have the power to delete it? [18:39] The link is owned by root. You will need to go to a terminal, and use sudo to remove [18:40] You could change it to make yourself the owner, then you could remove it. I think it is done because if you enter the directory, root is the owner of it [18:41] yes you are right, I removed it by opening thunar as root, but still I think this is starnge [18:42] Root owns the directory, therefore, root must own the link, as I understand it [18:42] well, so be it... [18:53] Hi, do you guys have an idea about https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-terminal/+bug/399558 and what may be causing it? http://launchpadlibrarian.net/29030693/Screenshot.png [18:55] I don't have that issue here in karmic [18:55] Are you running compiz? [18:59] no [18:59] But I was just thinking it may be composite [18:59] XFCE has its own composite code [19:00] Applications -> Settings -> Window Manager Tweaks -> Compositor [19:00] no, that is off as well [19:00] weird [19:01] But I know that the terminal in XFCE had transparency [19:01] I think it can be set somewhere else [19:01] Quite possibly something I can't properly see right now ;-) [19:01] got to be. Mine don't have any transparency [19:01] it's a hot candidate for sure [19:02] Might provide the .xsession-errors log and /var/log/syslog just in case [19:13] if i'm stuck with a 1 button mouse... is there some way i can do a right click? yay mac <.< [19:16] if mac is so great, why can't it do a right click? [19:17] lol [19:18] th0r: you can, press f12 [19:18] th0r: or tap the touchpad with 3 fingers [19:19] (two fingers is middle click, I usually swap them) [19:30] TheSheep: how do you switch them? i was trying to do 2 fingers & wasn't getting anything useful [19:31] for some reason the wireless "mighty mouse" isn't mighty enough to work correctly... initially it took me 2 right clicks to actually get a right click & now it won't even recognize it [19:31] i think i'm just going to get another mighty logitech usb dead mouse [19:35] pteague_work: I can't remember, found some guide on forum with sample fdi file with sane settings [19:36] i can't even seem to get 3 fingers to work... [19:36] try on the touchpad [19:38] i'm thinking it's because it's a new macbook pro & it has no idea what it's supposed to be doing [19:40] hello [19:41] i can't find pygtk in repositories (synaptic) although it seems to exists in http://packages.ubunut.com/source/hardy/pygtk .how can i install pygtk?
