[01:45] How can I install a more recent (beta/unstable) version of a program? === TuxPurple_ is now known as TuxPurple [10:52] anyone rolling with koffice? [10:55] Hello, I need some advice [10:56] asc [10:56] What's the shortcut command to open the application menu? [10:57] I don't know [10:59] Found it. It's /usr/bin/xfce4-popup-menu [14:04] how my friends windows SYSTEM registry hive is corrupt or missing and they are me fix it, but they want their data backed-up so I employed Ubuntu for the job. Unfortunately the NTFS partition is "in use" and I am unsure if forcing it to mount would cause more damage. So if I force it would it cause more damage? [14:07] you can back up the whole disk with dd [14:07] without having to mount it [14:07] I can mount the partition [14:07] and I don't have storage for 100GB of info [14:08] would forcing it cause more damage? [14:14] would? [14:14] * would it? [14:18] gtg [16:10] anyone know how I could go about changing my default filemanager? === cody-somerville_ is now known as cody-somerville === techknowlust is now known as techknowlust|awa === techknowlust|awa is now known as techknowlust [21:21] Is there a way to figure out the original file name of the pictures in .tumbnails? [21:27] S0210: that's an interesting qustion === techknowlust is now known as techknowlust|awa === techknowlust|awa is now known as techknowlust [21:33] S0210, i dont think you can [21:43] Hmmm... are they created by the thunar? [21:45] S0210: I'm not an expert, but I understand that they can be imported from the camera itself, or get made by any app [21:47] I think that the xfce thumbnail infrastructure is being rewritten right now, so whatever you find might not be true in the near future [21:53] S0210, yeah, but there is no way that i know to retrieve an image with the current system [21:53] XFCE 4.8 will come with a new lib for thumbnail manipulation, with which there will be ways to do this [21:54] (developers ways, though) [21:54] you should look for a general way to do it, not in xfce [21:55] Well, i think the current pictures names are generated by a hash of the location of the original picture [21:55] so you cant find the original location from the hash [21:59] Hezy, S0210 i asked an XFCE dev and he said that the image should contain the location of the original file in its metadata [22:02] SiDi: thank you [22:22] I got problems with 9.10 Alpha 3 installed via wubi. When I boot and select xubuntu, the screen goes black and it resets itself [22:30] omniplatform, this looks like a X crash [22:30] what if you boot xterm ? [22:30] And did you try Ubuntu ? Does GNOME boot ? [22:32] ahhh, no Gnome isn't installed, just xubuntu with xfce [22:32] I don't get the chance to boot xterm, I don't think. from the windows OS selector, I select xubuntu then it immediately reboots [22:33] I meant from the login manager [22:33] So it crashes before login ? [22:33] (the alpha 4 is out, by the way :P) [22:34] yes, long before login (oh I think it is alpha 4 after all) [22:35] trying it again (i'm chatting using a different 'puter than the one I'm trying to fix) [22:36] OK, I get "Please select the operating system to start:" then the two options, WinXP Home and Xubuntu [22:37] Okey, this is the windows bootloader, since you installed with Wubi [22:37] it displays something really fast, then turns off. I'll try again to pause it at the message [22:38] it says "Try hd" something or other before turning off [22:38] "Try (hd0,0): NTFS5 [22:38] Ok, i think the bootloader entry is doing something wrong, or it does things right and then grub2 does something wrong :/ [22:38] you should ask for a similar issue in #ubuntu+1 [22:39] if noone can confirm, then i suppose you'll have to get the whole message and report a bug against Ubuntu Karmic in https://bugs.launchpad.net [22:40] The message i see very briefly(after the "Try hd...) and cannot seem to pause in time says something about memory [22:42] also says something about "type help" [22:42] ok, I'll try to take this over if I don't get more info === TuxPurple_ is now known as TuxPurple
