[00:28] How do I enable sounds for certain events like in GNOME/Ubuntu? [00:55] anyone know why slackerradio wont play? i another xubuntu system and it does. both have restricted extras installed [01:45] Can I get video preview icons in xfce like ubuntu ? [01:46] Mikess: yess, but I am not sure how I arranged it. [01:46] Mikess, i believe so [01:46] ok tell me more :) [01:46] I have pic preview [01:46] I am new to xfce,,from fat kde 4,,, ;) [01:47] i am looking [01:47] in avi i have preview icon [01:49] not in avi, i have a preview of an ivi file [01:51] ivi ? [01:51] avi, type of video [01:52] yes avi ,mpeg,,mpg etc [01:53] Mikess, from what i am learning from Google Nautilus makes that happen [01:54] hmm though so [01:54] can be installed on xfce as well I guess [01:55] Would replace thunar though ? [01:55] Mikess, i woudnt, but i dont mind not having the previews [01:56] Yes no big issue :) [01:56] agreed [01:56] Very impressed with xfce :) [01:56] it is nice [01:57] smaller than gnome, but useable [01:57] Mikess: I think the previews are a thunar plugin....I think they come from thunar-thumbnailers [01:57] cheers will check ;) [01:58] th0r, i think that is installed by default as well [01:59] ffmpegthumbnailer as well :) [02:00] tell you if it works 1 min [02:01] 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] 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] Mikess: missed that one...thanks [02:02] th0r, i am running xubuntu, it is there [02:02] 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 [02:03] i am sure, xubuntu still has quite a bit of gnome in it [02:03] yes many libs.,.,, [02:04] No preview yet [02:04] the games are all gnome as well [02:04] will log out/in brb [02:04] 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 [02:05] hmm still none [02:05] i do know that Debian with xfce4 installed as default is a bit quicker and smaller [02:07] Mikess: installing ffmpegthumbnailer actually gave me the last few missing video thumbnails I was missing...always wondered why they weren t there [02:07] he he and I have none ,, hmm sounds not fair ;) [02:08] 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 [02:09] yes true [02:09] must be in thunar settings ? [02:10] Mikess: according to synaptic the package thunar-thumbnailers provides thumbnails for video files [02:11] it does mention needing ffmpegthumbnailer for that...so I am surprised it wasn't a dep [02:11] yes i have installed them ,,Does it give you the option in thunar settings ? [02:12] I see no option in thunar....just set it to View as icons [02:13] I have it ,,"show hidden files " :) [02:13] no...I have that turned off [02:13] did that solve it for you? [02:16] th0r, how long have you been using buntu? [02:16] It did but not ideal,,better I simply unchecked all emblems [02:16] had dapper installed for a long time, but had to replace the computer last year and only got jaunty installed about two months ago [02:17] so in thumbnails no icons are selected :) [02:17] I was going to ask about the emblems...I noticed that all mine werre unchecked [02:17] awsm [02:17] Better than kde 4.2 :) [02:18] 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] went to xfce when the dev team moved from e16 to e17...I loved e16 [02:19] Thought I had seen your nick before :) [02:19] I tried them both [02:24] totem is not working missing codecs [02:24] add em :D [02:24] GStreamer is installed [02:24] thought that took care of most ? [02:25] dump totem...use vlc [02:28] ok [02:28] :) [02:28] I have never successfully config'd totem....never got it to work right [02:29] me either [02:30] mine works i think [02:30] vlc installed and playing :) [02:31] 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] Hell forgot about it,,has always been a hell good player [02:31] cpu friendly as well [02:31] Mikess: that is what I like about it...I am anal about system resources [02:32] video going cpu = 3 % :) [02:32] -5 [02:34] I have tried many and xfce is the best so far === osiris__ is now known as osiris [04:10] You guys have any idea what I could use other than network-manager that can handle openvpn? [04:11] does wicd handle it? [04:12] I think wicd does not, you have to handle the vpn separately when using wicd [04:13] there is some decent info on the web about it, just happened on it the other day [04:13] hello all [04:13] 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? [04:17] Raggs: doesn't look like that - i like this aside from that fact [04:17] I suppose I could do openvpn from cli [04:32] ok - awesome thing about wicd - client doesn't need to keep running to keep internet [04:33] I killed that other system - thanks to who suggested it [06:08] need help in configuration of ubuntu 9.04 server [06:10] <_Pete_> http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-9.04-ispconfig-2 [06:14] can someone give me idea what i need to do about this error [06:14] symbol lookup error: slitechat: undefined symbol: _ZN10QTabWidget15setTabsClosableEb [06:14] hi [06:14] is anyone here? [06:15] yes [06:15] Is this where I can ask tech support questions? [06:15] hailz [06:15] yes [06:15] Ok thanks [06:16] 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] normaller better to just ask the question here to.. [06:16] can any body help me in the configuration of ubuntu server 9.04 [06:16] 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 [06:17] but when I go to "install xubuntu" I keep getting an error saying "Error reading from boot cd" [06:17] the cd works fine on my good computer though [06:17] when I go into f1 help it says this distribution of ubuntu requires 384 mb ram [06:18] maybe the rom is dead or something on the laptop [06:18] but I thought 256 was enough [06:18] Pete: my problem is the remote connection ssh or telnet it keeps disconnecting in a period or time even http [06:18] yeah that should be lots for xubuntu [06:18] is there any way to boot xubuntu from a floppy? [06:19] not sure [06:19] is there a linux distro with even lower requirements ? [06:19] 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 [06:20] they only last so long [06:20] have you ever had problem with loading or copy cd's? [06:20] hmm ok [06:20] I just got this old laptop today [06:20] I just wanted to use it to teach myself the ins and outs of linux [06:21] it runs windows 98 poorly [06:21] 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] and see if that will load.. and if getting the same error.. then it the rom [06:22] yeah I burtn this one on 24x burn [06:22] oh yeah maybe that will help.. the slower the burn the better it burns [06:23] 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] 4x will only take 20min or less [06:23] is it just because the older machine has an older cd drive? [06:23] so it needs a slower burn? [06:24] i'm not sure if that makes sense [06:24] well cd roms only last so long.. [06:24] Okay well I will go buy some cds tommorow and try again [06:24] Thank you very much for your help [06:24] it getting old... doesn't mean it needs a slow burn... but i find it make better cd's [06:24] and maybe easier for that old rom to read it [06:24] no problem [06:25] if not I will try the floppy method [06:25] good night [06:25] nightnite [06:29] symbol lookup error ?? what may that be... just need a point in the right direction [06:29] hi guys [06:30] any solution to my problem [06:31] i have no idea sorry [06:59] looking around seem like a link problem of sometype but cannot find a good answer on on the web [08:06] packages.ubuntu.com, down again.. [10:29] hi! I'm after some help [10:29] I think something has seriously gone wrong with my install [10:31] explain your problem please :) [10:32] ok I'll do my best [10:32] I was surfing the web with transmission and rhythmbox running in the background [10:32] transmission froze so I did a force close [10:33] then when I ran synaptic it said "fail to load as root" [10:33] so I did a restart [10:33] when it reloaded all my panels have been scrapped [10:33] and I now cannot open ISO filed [10:33] *files [10:33] I think something might be corrupt somehow [10:34] I'm a recent windoze convert so I'm still getting grips with everything, which is why I'm stuck :/ [10:35] did you check your harddisk with fsck ? [10:36] nope [10:37] just punched it in to a terminal and it says running it on a mounted filesystem may cause severe damage [10:39] should I continue? [10:41] boot in rescue mode, or try booting from a livecd [10:41] ok [10:41] am I correct in presuming that fsck is similar to windoze's fdisk? [10:43] How do I found out the exact command that is run when I click on a menu entry? [10:46] jdb: now the update manager is telling me i have unmet dependancies, does this confirm a corrupt file system? [10:47] turtle_: possible, but difficult to say [10:48] fsck is more the equivalent of checkdisk [10:50] will slackware have fsck? I think I put puppylinux on a usb stick a while back [10:55] i guess every distro has that [10:55] i dont know slackware that well :) [10:57] me neither but I'll have to take what I can get :P [11:01] Laibsch: you can see it in the process list in a terminal (ps ax) [11:02] well, there's got to be a better [11:02] way [11:02] Laibsch: you can also see it in the .desktop file [11:03] For example, right now I'm trying to find out why "System - New Login in a Window" does not work [11:03] that one will never show up in the process list [11:03] except for a split second [11:03] Laibsch: actually, it should show up until you have completed the login [11:04] but it is probably just a terminal session [11:05] th0r, read again what I wrote [11:05] the process never really starts [11:05] Laibsch: never mind...sorry I said anything [11:05] sheesh [11:06] thanks for giving it a shot [11:54] gnomefreak has joined #xubuntu ^^ [12:00] jdb: i know i joined the channel :) [12:02] kind of strange with such a nick :) [12:13] jdb: im strange but im also in kubuntu* alot of ubuntu channels (~35 channels in all some non ubuntu related) [12:18] i dont like kde, so i'm not in kubuntu :) [12:21] allll good :) === Raggs is now known as Darth_Tux [14:15] folks, i need enable runlevel at menu.lst, advice me [14:44] folks, i need enable runlevel at menu.lst so that have oppertunity choose to boot into cli or gdm, i've tried add a number at the end of paratmeters to kernel but it wont work, advice me, thank you! === fran is now known as Guest36337 [14:57] just start in recovery mode? [14:59] add single to the kernel in menu.lst === TuxPurple_ is now known as TuxPurple [17:20] that topic is a bit old. xubuntu 9.10 is out (in alpha) [17:21] anyhow. I created a usplash on ubuntu and then switched to xubuntu and my usplash does not load. is there a reason for this? [19:08] 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? [19:28] Gamoid, what kind of problem do you have? [19:30] 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 " [19:32] Ah, here it is. "Buffer I/O error on device sr0" [19:32] Over and over again. [19:32] that usually indicates it can't read the CD [19:33] I think there was an error in burning the disc, actually. [19:34] Gamoid: if it didnt burn well then it may be unreadable ;) [19:35] Well, yeah. :-p I only realized after I made my initial query. [19:36] You should use the "check CD integrity" option on the CD [19:36] I just did, it returned an error. [19:36] 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 [19:37] 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] 9th parallel * [19:37] * SiDi hides [20:48] where can i find cd art? [22:14] hi [22:28] I don't know why firefox is so awfully slow when searching for a file to upload or a dir for downloading an image, is this firefox fault? or xubuntu's fault?
