| Flare183 | How do I enable sounds for certain events like in GNOME/Ubuntu? | 00:28 |
|---|---|---|
| planetary | anyone know why slackerradio wont play? i another xubuntu system and it does. both have restricted extras installed | 00:55 |
| Mikess | Can I get video preview icons in xfce like ubuntu ? | 01:45 |
| th0r | Mikess: yess, but I am not sure how I arranged it. | 01:46 |
| Raggs | Mikess, i believe so | 01:46 |
| Mikess | ok tell me more :) | 01:46 |
| Mikess | I have pic preview | 01:46 |
| Mikess | I am new to xfce,,from fat kde 4,,, ;) | 01:46 |
| Raggs | i am looking | 01:47 |
| Raggs | in avi i have preview icon | 01:47 |
| Raggs | not in avi, i have a preview of an ivi file | 01:49 |
| Mikess | ivi ? | 01:51 |
| Raggs | avi, type of video | 01:51 |
| Mikess | yes avi ,mpeg,,mpg etc | 01:52 |
| Raggs | Mikess, from what i am learning from Google Nautilus makes that happen | 01:53 |
| Mikess | hmm though so | 01:54 |
| Mikess | can be installed on xfce as well I guess | 01:54 |
| Mikess | Would replace thunar though ? | 01:55 |
| Raggs | Mikess, i woudnt, but i dont mind not having the previews | 01:55 |
| Mikess | Yes no big issue :) | 01:56 |
| Raggs | agreed | 01:56 |
| Mikess | Very impressed with xfce :) | 01:56 |
| Raggs | it is nice | 01:56 |
| Raggs | smaller than gnome, but useable | 01:57 |
| th0r | Mikess: I think the previews are a thunar plugin....I think they come from thunar-thumbnailers | 01:57 |
| Mikess | cheers will check ;) | 01:57 |
| Raggs | th0r, i think that is installed by default as well | 01:58 |
| Mikess | ffmpegthumbnailer as well :) | 01:59 |
| Mikess | tell you if it works 1 min | 02:00 |
| th0r | Raggs: might be. I installed generic ubuntu first, then added xfce afterwards, but I know I am not running anything gnome related now and I have the video previews | 02:01 |
| th0r | Raggs: I did have to install most of the plugins afterwards....didn't install xubuntu-desktop and found that a lot of such things were omitted because of my error | 02:01 |
| th0r | Mikess: missed that one...thanks | 02:01 |
| Raggs | th0r, i am running xubuntu, it is there | 02:02 |
| th0r | Raggs: yeah, now, after the fact, I wish I had opted for xubuntu. But I had an ubuntu live cd so figured I could just add after.....missed a lot of little things by doing that | 02:02 |
| Raggs | i am sure, xubuntu still has quite a bit of gnome in it | 02:03 |
| Mikess | yes many libs.,.,, | 02:03 |
| Mikess | No preview yet | 02:04 |
| Raggs | the games are all gnome as well | 02:04 |
| Mikess | will log out/in brb | 02:04 |
| th0r | I have turned off most of the gnome stuff. Moved to wicd instead of network mangler, installed non-gnome solitaire and the like, dumped the gnome power management....ps doesn't show much gnome anymore | 02:04 |
| Mikess | hmm still none | 02:05 |
| Raggs | i do know that Debian with xfce4 installed as default is a bit quicker and smaller | 02:05 |
| th0r | Mikess: installing ffmpegthumbnailer actually gave me the last few missing video thumbnails I was missing...always wondered why they weren t there | 02:07 |
| Mikess | he he and I have none ,, hmm sounds not fair ;) | 02:07 |
| th0r | just looked through ps and the only thing I have even beginning with g is gdm. I am pretty sure the video thumbnails is an xfce thing...just need to figure out what you are missing | 02:08 |
| Mikess | yes true | 02:09 |
| Mikess | must be in thunar settings ? | 02:09 |
| th0r | Mikess: according to synaptic the package thunar-thumbnailers provides thumbnails for video files | 02:10 |
| th0r | it does mention needing ffmpegthumbnailer for that...so I am surprised it wasn't a dep | 02:11 |
| Mikess | yes i have installed them ,,Does it give you the option in thunar settings ? | 02:11 |
| th0r | I see no option in thunar....just set it to View as icons | 02:12 |
| Mikess | I have it ,,"show hidden files " :) | 02:13 |
| th0r | no...I have that turned off | 02:13 |
| th0r | did that solve it for you? | 02:13 |
| Raggs | th0r, how long have you been using buntu? | 02:16 |
| Mikess | It did but not ideal,,better I simply unchecked all emblems | 02:16 |
| th0r | had dapper installed for a long time, but had to replace the computer last year and only got jaunty installed about two months ago | 02:16 |
| Mikess | so in thumbnails no icons are selected :) | 02:17 |
| th0r | I was going to ask about the emblems...I noticed that all mine werre unchecked | 02:17 |
| Mikess | awsm | 02:17 |
| Mikess | Better than kde 4.2 :) | 02:17 |
| th0r | I used xfce for years....was originally a redhat user, then suse, then ubuntu...so I have developed a long term relationship with xfce. | 02:18 |
| th0r | went to xfce when the dev team moved from e16 to e17...I loved e16 | 02:18 |
| Mikess | Thought I had seen your nick before :) | 02:19 |
| Mikess | I tried them both | 02:19 |
| Mikess | totem is not working missing codecs | 02:24 |
| Raggs | add em :D | 02:24 |
| Mikess | GStreamer is installed | 02:24 |
| Mikess | thought that took care of most ? | 02:24 |
| th0r | dump totem...use vlc | 02:25 |
| Mikess | ok | 02:28 |
| Mikess | :) | 02:28 |
| th0r | I have never successfully config'd totem....never got it to work right | 02:28 |
| Mikess | me either | 02:29 |
| Raggs | mine works i think | 02:30 |
| Mikess | vlc installed and playing :) | 02:30 |
| th0r | I use vlc for everything nowadays. Since they abandoned xmms vlc is the only dependable player for audio or video I have found (well...mplayer is still there for video) | 02:31 |
| Mikess | Hell forgot about it,,has always been a hell good player | 02:31 |
| Mikess | cpu friendly as well | 02:31 |
| th0r | Mikess: that is what I like about it...I am anal about system resources | 02:31 |
| Mikess | video going cpu = 3 % :) | 02:32 |
| Mikess | -5 | 02:32 |
| Mikess | I have tried many and xfce is the best so far | 02:34 |

| MTeck | You guys have any idea what I could use other than network-manager that can handle openvpn? | 04:10 |
| Raggs | does wicd handle it? | 04:11 |
| th0r | I think wicd does not, you have to handle the vpn separately when using wicd | 04:12 |
| th0r | there is some decent info on the web about it, just happened on it the other day | 04:13 |
| osx5 | hello all | 04:13 |
| osx5 | I just got an acer aspire one netbook and put xubuntu on it, I have a 1366 resolution but its only allowing 1024 , does anyone know if I can fix this? | 04:13 |
| MTeck | Raggs: doesn't look like that - i like this aside from that fact | 04:17 |
| MTeck | I suppose I could do openvpn from cli | 04:17 |
| MT- | ok - awesome thing about wicd - client doesn't need to keep running to keep internet | 04:32 |
| MT- | I killed that other system - thanks to who suggested it | 04:33 |
| jjara | need help in configuration of ubuntu 9.04 server | 06:08 |
| _Pete_ | http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-9.04-ispconfig-2 | 06:10 |
| DiecastMessiah | can someone give me idea what i need to do about this error | 06:14 |
| DiecastMessiah | symbol lookup error: slitechat: undefined symbol: _ZN10QTabWidget15setTabsClosableEb | 06:14 |
| LierXAgerate | hi | 06:14 |
| LierXAgerate | is anyone here? | 06:14 |
| jjara | yes | 06:15 |
| LierXAgerate | Is this where I can ask tech support questions? | 06:15 |
| DiecastMessiah | hailz | 06:15 |
| jjara | yes | 06:15 |
| LierXAgerate | Ok thanks | 06:15 |
| LierXAgerate | I have an old IBM thinkpad that I am trying to install xubuntu on, it only has 256mb ram, a 5 gig hard drive, and a pentium 3 processor | 06:16 |
| DiecastMessiah | normaller better to just ask the question here to.. | 06:16 |
| jjara | can any body help me in the configuration of ubuntu server 9.04 | 06:16 |
| LierXAgerate | I burnt a cd with xubuntu on it and I am trying to boot it from that | 06:16 |
| _Pete_ | jjara_ http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-9.04-ispconfig-2 | 06:16 |
| LierXAgerate | but when I go to "install xubuntu" I keep getting an error saying "Error reading from boot cd" | 06:17 |
| LierXAgerate | the cd works fine on my good computer though | 06:17 |
| LierXAgerate | when I go into f1 help it says this distribution of ubuntu requires 384 mb ram | 06:17 |
| DiecastMessiah | maybe the rom is dead or something on the laptop | 06:18 |
| LierXAgerate | but I thought 256 was enough | 06:18 |
| jjara | Pete: my problem is the remote connection ssh or telnet it keeps disconnecting in a period or time even http | 06:18 |
| DiecastMessiah | yeah that should be lots for xubuntu | 06:18 |
| LierXAgerate | is there any way to boot xubuntu from a floppy? | 06:18 |
| DiecastMessiah | not sure | 06:19 |
| LierXAgerate | is there a linux distro with even lower requirements ? | 06:19 |
| DiecastMessiah | well from the error it sound like you cdrom in the machine is no longer good | 06:19 |
| _Pete_ | LierXAgerate: yes, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy | 06:19 |
| DiecastMessiah | they only last so long | 06:20 |
| DiecastMessiah | have you ever had problem with loading or copy cd's? | 06:20 |
| LierXAgerate | hmm ok | 06:20 |
| LierXAgerate | I just got this old laptop today | 06:20 |
| LierXAgerate | I just wanted to use it to teach myself the ins and outs of linux | 06:20 |
| LierXAgerate | it runs windows 98 poorly | 06:21 |
| DiecastMessiah | ok well i would say try to burn the cd.. on a different machine.. but as slow of a burn as you can about 2 or 4x burn | 06:21 |
| DiecastMessiah | and see if that will load.. and if getting the same error.. then it the rom | 06:21 |
| LierXAgerate | yeah I burtn this one on 24x burn | 06:22 |
| DiecastMessiah | oh yeah maybe that will help.. the slower the burn the better it burns | 06:22 |
| LierXAgerate | When I pop the cd into the machine it won't load, but when I put it into the machine I burnt it on it loads right away | 06:23 |
| DiecastMessiah | 4x will only take 20min or less | 06:23 |
| LierXAgerate | is it just because the older machine has an older cd drive? | 06:23 |
| LierXAgerate | so it needs a slower burn? | 06:23 |
| LierXAgerate | i'm not sure if that makes sense | 06:24 |
| DiecastMessiah | well cd roms only last so long.. | 06:24 |
| LierXAgerate | Okay well I will go buy some cds tommorow and try again | 06:24 |
| LierXAgerate | Thank you very much for your help | 06:24 |
| DiecastMessiah | it getting old... doesn't mean it needs a slow burn... but i find it make better cd's | 06:24 |
| DiecastMessiah | and maybe easier for that old rom to read it | 06:24 |
| DiecastMessiah | no problem | 06:24 |
| LierXAgerate | if not I will try the floppy method | 06:25 |
| LierXAgerate | good night | 06:25 |
| DiecastMessiah | nightnite | 06:25 |
| DiecastMessiah | symbol lookup error ?? what may that be... just need a point in the right direction | 06:29 |
| jjara | hi guys | 06:29 |
| jjara | any solution to my problem | 06:30 |
| DiecastMessiah | i have no idea sorry | 06:31 |
| DiecastMessiah | looking around seem like a link problem of sometype but cannot find a good answer on on the web | 06:59 |

| turtle_ | hi! I'm after some help | 10:29 |
| turtle_ | I think something has seriously gone wrong with my install | 10:29 |
| jdb | explain your problem please :) | 10:31 |
| turtle_ | ok I'll do my best | 10:32 |
| turtle_ | I was surfing the web with transmission and rhythmbox running in the background | 10:32 |
| turtle_ | transmission froze so I did a force close | 10:32 |
| turtle_ | then when I ran synaptic it said "fail to load as root" | 10:33 |
| turtle_ | so I did a restart | 10:33 |
| turtle_ | when it reloaded all my panels have been scrapped | 10:33 |
| turtle_ | and I now cannot open ISO filed | 10:33 |
| turtle_ | *files | 10:33 |
| turtle_ | I think something might be corrupt somehow | 10:33 |
| turtle_ | I'm a recent windoze convert so I'm still getting grips with everything, which is why I'm stuck :/ | 10:34 |
| jdb | did you check your harddisk with fsck ? | 10:35 |
| turtle_ | nope | 10:36 |
| turtle_ | just punched it in to a terminal and it says running it on a mounted filesystem may cause severe damage | 10:37 |
| turtle_ | should I continue? | 10:39 |
| jdb | boot in rescue mode, or try booting from a livecd | 10:41 |
| turtle_ | ok | 10:41 |
| turtle_ | am I correct in presuming that fsck is similar to windoze's fdisk? | 10:41 |
| Laibsch | How do I found out the exact command that is run when I click on a menu entry? | 10:43 |
| turtle_ | jdb: now the update manager is telling me i have unmet dependancies, does this confirm a corrupt file system? | 10:46 |
| jdb | turtle_: possible, but difficult to say | 10:47 |
| jdb | fsck is more the equivalent of checkdisk | 10:48 |
| turtle_ | will slackware have fsck? I think I put puppylinux on a usb stick a while back | 10:50 |
| jdb | i guess every distro has that | 10:55 |
| jdb | i dont know slackware that well :) | 10:55 |
| turtle_ | me neither but I'll have to take what I can get :P | 10:57 |
| th0r | Laibsch: you can see it in the process list in a terminal (ps ax) | 11:01 |
| Laibsch | well, there's got to be a better | 11:02 |
| Laibsch | way | 11:02 |
| th0r | Laibsch: you can also see it in the .desktop file | 11:02 |
| Laibsch | For example, right now I'm trying to find out why "System - New Login in a Window" does not work | 11:03 |
| Laibsch | that one will never show up in the process list | 11:03 |
| Laibsch | except for a split second | 11:03 |
| th0r | Laibsch: actually, it should show up until you have completed the login | 11:03 |
| th0r | but it is probably just a terminal session | 11:04 |
| Laibsch | th0r, read again what I wrote | 11:05 |
| Laibsch | the process never really starts | 11:05 |
| th0r | Laibsch: never mind...sorry I said anything | 11:05 |
| Laibsch | sheesh | 11:05 |
| Laibsch | thanks for giving it a shot | 11:06 |

| proq | that topic is a bit old. xubuntu 9.10 is out (in alpha) | 17:20 |
| proq | anyhow. I created a usplash on ubuntu and then switched to xubuntu and my usplash does not load. is there a reason for this? | 17:21 |
| Gamoid | Hi. I'm trying to help a friend install Xubuntu on a (comparatively) ancient laptop, but I'm getting all sorts of weird I/O errors on install. Would anyone be willing to spare a couple minutes and help me out? | 19:08 |
| forces | Gamoid, what kind of problem do you have? | 19:28 |
| Gamoid | Well, the computer boots from the CD just fine. Then, whether I select Use Xubuntu Without Making Changes or Install, it goes for a minute then starts endlessly returning errors, like "I/O error drive sector <blahblahblah>" | 19:30 |
| Gamoid | Ah, here it is. "Buffer I/O error on device sr0" | 19:32 |
| Gamoid | Over and over again. | 19:32 |
| proq | that usually indicates it can't read the CD | 19:32 |
| Gamoid | I think there was an error in burning the disc, actually. | 19:33 |
| SiDi | Gamoid: if it didnt burn well then it may be unreadable ;) | 19:34 |
| Gamoid | Well, yeah. :-p I only realized after I made my initial query. | 19:35 |
| SiDi | You should use the "check CD integrity" option on the CD | 19:36 |
| Gamoid | I just did, it returned an error. | 19:36 |
| SiDi | and if it fails to perform the burning very likely failed | 19:36 |
| * SiDi wishes all i/o errors on sr0 were so simple :P | 19:36 | |
| Gamoid | I'm actually about to try a different distro, just to test if it's my burner or his drive or the alignment of Jupiter with Venus in the fifth parallel or what. | 19:37 |
| SiDi | 9th parallel * | 19:37 |
| * SiDi hides | 19:37 | |
