[02:38] <planetary> why does listen music player not find or play .wav files? flac does fine.
[02:46] <mac9416> Hello, where can I get a /var/dpkg/status file from a fresh install of Xubuntu?
[03:07] <Ahmuck-Jr> got a problem.  for some reason xubuntu has "locked" my usb key to read only and root
[03:08] <Ahmuck-Jr> i've tried "sudo chown user UDISK" and it doesn't work
[03:08] <Ahmuck-Jr> there is a .hal-mtab and a .hal-mtab-lock in the /media directory
[03:09] <Ahmuck-Jr> this happened in a delete process
[03:47] <genii> Does man:// work in Thunar, as like in Konq?
[03:50] <cody-somerville> no, not in the current version of Thunar
[03:52] <genii> OK, thanks
[05:20] <jacko7723> anyone use the awesome window manager?
[06:13] <ramontayag> hey all. howcome some packages don't come out in the GUI synaptic package manager (eg filezilla) but can be installed via apt-get (install filezilla)?
[10:39] <tdn> I would like to install Ubuntu on a machine with no CDROM drive. How do I do this? Can I put the hard disk in my other computer and copy the files and GRUB to the harddisk somehow and then boot put it back in the old computer and boot it? If so, how?
[10:40] <knome> !usb
[10:42] <tdn> I don't think it can boot from USB.
[10:42] <tdn> It is an old VIA EPIA mini-itx computer with a 800MHz CPU and 256MB RAM.
[10:43] <tdn> I'm pretty sure it can boot from network somehow. Although, I have not tried it.
[10:49] <tdn> knome, I just checked the BIOS. There are two USB related options: USB-FDD and USB-ZIP.
[10:50] <knome> tdn, usb-fdd should work, i suppose.
[10:50] <tdn> Ok. I will try.
[10:52] <tdn> I cannot find minimum requirements on Xubuntu on the page.
[10:52] <knome> !requirements
[10:52] <knome> hmm..
[10:53] <knome> tdn, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements for "exact"hardware requirements
[10:53] <knome> tdn, you should be able to run it easily.
[10:53] <tdn> Ok.
[10:53] <knome> tdn, it might not be fast, though.
[10:53] <tdn> I found this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[10:53] <tdn> Maybe ubottu should be updated?
[10:53] <tdn> To include that url.
[10:53] <knome> !hardware
[10:54] <knome> i'm sure you can get that link somehow. :P
[10:54] <tdn> Ok.
[10:55] <knome> tdn, anyway, if you can upgrade your ram, it of course would be a lot faster. 256 can run about one app at a time to stay ~fastish
[10:56] <tdn> Yes, I know. I'm not sure I can find any RAM for this old thing though.
[10:57] <knome> tdn, i'm sure you can.
[10:57] <knome> :)
[10:57] <tdn> I just want to make a usable computer out of it and then give it away to charity. Instead of just trashing the working hardware.
[10:57] <knome> yeah.
[10:57] <knome> that's fair.
[11:00] <knome> bbl ->
[11:14] <tdn> knome, I have tried both USB-FDD and USB-ZIP in BIOS Boot options. But none boots my USB drive.
[11:14] <tdn> knome, I have a 4GB usb drive on which I made a bootable device with the xubuntu iso with ubuntu-usb.
[11:16] <tdn> It says: DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER.

[20:51] <N-S> Good evening.
[20:53] <N-S> What's the best/easiest way to share a dir with SMB? I don't mind (actually I'd prefer) if it requires a login/pass to access it.
[20:53] <N-S> Should I use a tool, like Swat, to set it up, or can it be done in an easier way?
[20:58] <hagisbasheruk> i have no experience with that but going to the menu and selecting applications > system > share folder installs whats needed i guess
[20:59] <hagisbasheruk> NSF and SMB
[21:02] <forces> !samba
[21:02] <N-S> hagisbasheruk I actually just found that menu.
[21:02] <hagisbasheruk> :)
[21:02] <N-S> forces thank you
[21:04] <N-S> omg, that was easy
[21:05] <N-S> One slight possible issue. I didn't have to give any l/p. Does this mean that anyone on my LAN can access it with read/write access? :-/
[21:05] <hagisbasheruk> is there an auto menu updater for xfce ?
[21:07] <N-S> security = user
[21:07] <N-S> perhaps I need to enable that
[21:11] <N-S> oh, it was set as public
[21:12] <hagisbasheruk> :)
[21:14] <N-S> pulic = no, guest ok = no
[21:14] <N-S> now, let's see what happens
[21:16] <hagisbasheruk>  /join #samba :)
[21:17] <N-S> hehe, will do
[21:17] <hagisbasheruk> lol
[21:17] <hagisbasheruk> i didn't mean for him to leave
[21:43] <Ahmuck-Jr> i was adding info to a usb thumb drive and deleting about the same time
[21:43] <Ahmuck-Jr> the drive is now locked and i can't delete, add, or anything but read from the drive
[21:44] <Ahmuck-Jr> how do i fix this?
[21:46] <Raggs> Ahmuck-Jr, try unmounting and remounting it
[21:46] <Ahmuck-Jr> tried that
[21:46] <Ahmuck-Jr> let me try again
[21:46] <Raggs> okie
[21:47] <Ahmuck-Jr> k, umounted it, i'll have to plug it in to mount it again?
[21:47] <Ahmuck-Jr> i notice there is two files a .hal-mtab and a .hal-mtab-lock
[21:47] <Raggs> remove it totally
[21:47] <Ahmuck-Jr> still there
[21:50] <Ahmuck-Jr> wow, who woulda thought.
[21:50] <Ahmuck-Jr> i rebooted, changed permissions, changed owner, etc.
[21:50] <Ahmuck-Jr> some reason it thought it was still mounted.  why did it do this after a reboot?
[21:53] <Raggs> Ahmuck-Jr, not sure
[22:07] <Ahmuck-Jr> rootkit
[22:08] <Raggs> dont know
[22:08] <Raggs> how are you liking xubuntu otherwise?
[22:22] <likemindead> Zzzz

[22:22] <likemindead> How goes it?
[23:47] <brad_> I had a question about XP and Ubuntu dual-boot: I set up each of the drives independently, so they each have their own bootloader. However, I can't seem to get Linux to chainload correctly to Windows. When I use the grub "map" windows says that hal.dll is corrupt or missing. When I boot windows using windows, it works fine. I assume that this is because Windows wants to be first, so do I install grub to the MBR of windows, and hope that 
[23:47] <brad_>  Linux? Also, the windows partition type is W95 FAT32 (LBA)
[23:54] <brad_> any ideas?
