[00:55] can someone(s) help me set my Vol up down mute to control the master alsa channel [01:41] hello. could you please give me a page with instructions on how to prepare a xubuntu installation from usb pen drive [01:46] haven't found one that is simple enough [01:47] to be honest with you, you just need unetbootiin and the xubuntu's image.. put that onto usb, set computer bios to boot usb and hit default.. I'm sure once fully booted you can run ubiquity from there [01:49] hatake_kakashi, thanks. i did try with UNetbootin, following everything and for some reason didn't work. I did it also with USB startup disk creator under Ubuntu [01:50] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [01:51] jarba, which iso file did you download? [01:51] hatake_kakashi, let me see, pls [01:51] hatake_kakashi, xubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.iso [01:52] hmm [01:52] did you try md5sum on it? [01:52] no :o [01:53] I'd give that a shot [01:53] are you running a mac? [01:53] under unetbootiin isn't? [01:53] PCs hatake_kakashi [01:54] err not sure, though md5sum command is available on the command line in linux [01:54] jarba, ok, just checking :) [01:54] i had a problem with my CD drive on my notebook, that's why I want to instal Xubuntu on it [01:54] ahh I see. thanks [01:55] ah [01:55] running windows? [01:55] the notebook now is clean [01:55] i'll rather install xubuntu on it instead of any other distro [01:55] so how you verifying the image?　:) [01:56] on thisa one I have Ubuntu [01:56] ok, if you fire up terminal there's md5sum :) [01:56] hatake_kakashi, "verifying" the imasge while making the usg ? [01:57] usg? [01:57] sorry, USB [01:58] as you might notive I am a novice on these things (besides the typos here :) ) [01:58] arr notice [01:58] well I did notice you are somewhat a novice but at least you are different from the other newbs I see every so often [01:59] umm probably best idea to not do that btw [01:59] I am :) [01:59] novice... [01:59] did use linux sometime ago only and now I decided to go back to it [02:00] lol [02:00] the bug bit you ;) [02:00] hehehe [02:00] blue screen bugs... [02:00] I'm still a novice despite using linux on and off for a few years now [02:00] nah I meant the addiction bug [02:01] i got it, just kidding [02:01] heh [02:01] :) [02:02] most of my computers are running linux lol [02:02] well, I'm going to try other ways of making that USB installation, starting again with unetbootiin [02:02] shows you my addiction [02:02] I'd check with md5sum first [02:02] I see [02:02] just to be sure that it passes the checksum [02:02] umm [02:03] well, i have that notebook running this exat moment under mini xp, from hiren's bootCd [02:03] exact.. [02:04] thank you a lot hatake_kakashi , I'll stick around while doing this [02:04] jarba, the list of md5sums are here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/9.04/release/MD5SUMS [02:04] jarba, ah [02:04] thank you so much [02:05] nw [02:07] btw [02:07] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [02:09] !xorg > hatake_kakashi [02:09] hatake_kakashi, please see my private message [02:09] I accidentally deleted my shutdown icon in the top right hand corner of my screen how do i replace it? [02:10] iliketofrolic666, isn't that part of the quit button? [02:10] probably but i deleted it so idk [02:11] right click on the bar and click on add new items and then go look for action buttons [02:11] did that will only allow me to log out [02:12] i want to be able to shutdown without logging out first [02:12] i also can't shut it down with the power button on my IR remote anymore [02:12] which is very annoying [02:13] hmm [02:13] dunno how to solve the ir remote part [02:13] how did you manage to delete it in the first place? lol [02:14] i deleted it because it wasn't doing the drop down menu any more [02:14] the one in the applications menu will only log me out instead of having the popup [02:14] iliketofrolic666: right click on the icon, choose properties and set the action type to Quit [02:15] rofl that was fun [02:15] can't right click in application menu apparently [02:16] quit just logs you out [02:16] brb [02:16] iliketofrolic666: no...add the Action Buttons to the panel, then right click on that [02:16] jeez....if he comes back...one of you guys might want to pass on the info [02:17] iliketofrolic666: right click on the icon, choose properties and set the action type to Quit [02:18] it's already on that [02:18] it logs me out w/o a dialog [02:18] some one pop up the dialog and tell me if there is a never show again option to check [02:19] google is so useless :-( [02:20] ideas? [02:21] iliketofrolic666: are you back for a while or are you going to leave again> [02:21] back for a while why? [02:21] i just left because i hit the button [02:22] iliketofrolic666: right click on the panel and choose add new items [02:22] from there add Action Buttons [02:23] k now i got 2 log off buttons... both with the action quit [02:23] set the Action type to Quit and it should give you a menu when you click on it [02:23] nope [02:23] the second time i logged off was when i click it [02:24] ok...just a sec [02:24] iliketofrolic666: go to the Settings Manager and select Session and Startup [02:25] there make sure Prompt on logout is checked [02:25] k should i test? [02:25] yeah...if I am going to be wrong...I want to be wrong boldly [02:25] sweet thanks man it works [06:32] hello. i'm running xubuntu 7.10 and i'd like to add an item to a submenu in xfce4 appfinder, but i can't seem to find a way to do it. my application is not listed in the right panel list of applications [06:36] wormsxulla_: you add items to the menu by creating .desktop files and placing them in either /usr/share/applications or /.local/share/applications [06:36] oh [06:37] wormsxulla_: I am no expert at .desktop files, but I think you control menus and submenus with the Categories line in the file [06:37] hmmmm [06:37] wormsxulla_: and while there have been several attempts at creating a 'menu editor' I know of none that works very well [06:38] well, the help refers to some drag and drop function, but that doesn't work for me [06:38] th0r: i see :) [06:52] raahhh. i made a mistake. i previously created a link (shortcut) to the executable of the app, on the desktop, and i can't delete it because the permission is "read only" (it's useless now that i created a launcher) [06:53] *i* created the link and it's read-only? [07:55] hi all, i can't start xfmedia. The error spit out from terminal is [07:55] ** (xfmedia:29092): CRITICAL **: XfmediaXine: Unable to load audio output driver. Segmentation fault [09:57] Hello Everyone! [09:58] I am having trouble installing Gwibber in 8.04 Hardy :( [10:19] i have the weirdest problem, i have 2 partitions mounted, 1 gives me R/W rights, #2 does not only R rights, the line in fstab is identical (defaults). first partition is ntfs the outer is vfat, is the fact that it is vfat the cause of the problem. you see i realy need R/W privileges on my storage partition [10:20] it has got to be something i overlooked, cant figure it out [10:49] if I installed ubuntu with the gnome desktop, what would be the easiest way to switch over to xfce, as if I had installed xubuntu? [10:50] boonyo, install xubuntu-desktop package [10:51] and that will automatically switch my desktop over to xfce? [10:52] that will give you the choice between gnome and xfce at boot [10:52] ah cool [11:31] hello, [11:31] nwbe : i dont have the right click on the desktop ! [11:31] how can i do it [12:38] elghorbaZ: hi [12:38] elghorbaZ: applications -> settings -> settings manager -> Desktop -> Behavior [12:44] hi [12:44] it doesnt work [12:44] since i installed updates, [12:44] i have nothing on the desktop [12:44] and no right clik [12:44] i use xubuntu [12:54] elghorbaZ: try alt-f2, then xfdesktop [12:56] well i found on a xfce doc that if i ran nautilus it wil disable desktop, so i have to kill nautilus or make the option no-desktop on the nautilus [12:56] can you help me doing this [12:56] i have just one week on the linux system [12:57] well, you could try logging out and back in, I think that will probably restart thunar [12:57] as well as kill nautilus [12:58] but it's since few days that its like that [12:58] myself, I have put a button on my panel to start nautilus with the --no-desktop option [12:59] how can i do that, [12:59] ? [12:59] in that case, open a terminal, and type "killall nautilus" [12:59] without the quotes [13:00] you can add buttons to the xfce panel by right clicking on it [13:01] i couldnt run xfce panel [13:01] xfce4-panel ? [13:01] yes [13:02] i tries xfce4- panel [13:02] it ididnt show anything [13:02] try xfce4-panel , and run it using the alt-f2 tool [13:02] yes this is what i did, it showed nothing [13:03] i tried it on a terminal and it says this apps is runing [13:03] but i see nothing [13:03] is this with an upgrade? [13:04] yes since i installed updates [13:05] I meant did you upgrade from 8.10? aka intrepid ibex? [13:05] wow !!! euuh, probably, [13:06] probably??? [13:06] i dont now [13:07] I hear there are some minor problems when you do upgrades like that... they are known as dist-upgrade.. for me I backup my settings and do a clean install.. no real issues from there on [13:11] Is there come configuration nessesary to get come CDMA cards to use EVDO? [13:14] i couldnt kill nautilus [13:15] Try pkill? [13:20] dosnt work, [13:20] in the add/remove applications [13:20] in only installed applications [13:20] there is no nautilus [13:21] oh oh okay. Use synaptic then. [13:26] it worked [13:26] now with the xfdesktop [13:26] do i have to run it each time i start the computer [13:26] thanx a lot [13:30] i have another kst; am runing xubuntu but the computer is still slow, is it really better to try fluxbuntu? [13:31] what are the specs? [13:32] 350 mhz , 256 mb, 8 Go [13:33] hmm yeah you might want to. I run debian with blackbox on a system with similar specs. [13:35] black box is like xubuntu for debian? [13:35] no it's just a light windows manager [13:37] ah ok, and what do you recommand [13:37] what do you think is better? [13:38] I havn't tried flux enough to say. But if there is a special ubuntu distro based on flux, you should try it. [13:39] oki, thanx [13:40] i installed fmod [13:40] but i get error that libfmod.so is not found [13:40] what do i do [13:41] euuh, also, when you install a linux ditrib on a computer with wdws, does it mean that wdws is erased, the disk fomated and the installation of linux includes encrypted disk ? [13:43] can i also use blackbox with ubuntu ? [13:43] well you already have a xubuntu partition? [13:44] error while loading shared libraries: libfmod.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [13:45] rgnr: search for libfmod in synaptic [13:45] it asked me , yes i have [13:45] it's not in synaptic [13:45] so still windows behind? [13:45] anywayz [13:46] i have libfmod-375.so [13:47] yeah if you install it in the partition that you have xubuntu in it will leave windows alone just like it did when you installed xubuntu [13:47] rgnr: Maybe it needs a newer version? Are you compiling something? [13:48] oki [14:39] hi, is there a kernel with pae for xubuntu? [14:39] i have tried the server kernel but after download the system would not boot... [15:27] hi all [15:27] :( [15:29] while i install adobe flash player; firefox and plugin service freezed; do i have to kill them? [15:40] yeah [15:40] well firefox needs to be restarted either way [15:41] :( [15:41] ok [17:09] greetings everyone [17:14] !hi [17:14] Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu!

How can I finally get through the upgrade without downloading a cd [22:25] Moonlight: I always upgrade a version with a fresh install. First because updating via the net is prone to failure and major crash, and second because it gives me a chance to clean up all the stuff I really don't need [22:25] how can i get xubuntu to react to a cd? I put an empty cd in (in hopes of burning something on it) but it doesnt see it [22:26] Moonlight: but if you are really devoted to trying, I think the command is sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [22:26] I tried that too but it didn't work [22:26] Moonlight: well, the only two ways I know of to upgrade a version are the CD and apt-get [22:27] Looks like I need to get the cd [22:27] Thank you for the help :) === Raggs is now known as Darth_Tux [23:25] how to I upgrade my xfce if I have xubuntu 9.04 installed [23:26] !upgrade | anom01y [23:26] anom01y: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [23:27] TheSheep, that doesnt show how to upgrade xfce, just ubuntu..
