[00:03] i'm gonna hit the bed now. good night everybody [00:30] nikolam: I have a 40GB model (but installed a 250Gig HD) [00:40] I am stuck on the kboot screen on my ps3-trying to install xubuntu 9.1 from disc-when i look at disc in mac i see all files just fine-burned xubuntu using "Burn" then on my second attempt simply used disc utility-each disc has the same files but neither boot the PS to a new OS [00:52] I am stuck on the kboot screen on my ps3-trying to install xubuntu 9.1 from disc-when i look at disc in mac i see all files just fine-burned xubuntu using "Burn" then on my second attempt simply used disc utility-each disc has the same files but neither boot the PS to a new OS [00:53] hey [00:53] anyone ???? [01:00] mrnaz, can you help me? [01:02] That's more like it. So, I've got me a question. :D [01:02] I am stuck on the kboot screen on my ps3-trying to install xubuntu 9.1 from disc-when i look at disc in mac i see all files just fine-burned xubuntu using "Burn" then on my second attempt simply used disc utility-each disc has the same files but neither boot the PS to a new OS [01:04] Well, first and foremost, I suppose it'd be wise to ask, am I even allowed to ask for help installing xubuntu on an Xbox (the old kind, not the 360)? [02:12] Anyone know where volume control is in Jaunty? I've been blasted by headphones for the last time... [02:17] Hello [02:17] Anyone here [02:18] imran, I am [02:18] Can you help me install xubuntu [02:18] I want pupusas [02:18] T_T [02:18] !install [02:18] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [02:18] I have done it before but have formatted [02:18] !install | imran [02:18] imran: please see above [02:18] I know but i née live help [02:19] Because ts not acting the same as last time [02:19] Last time I was able to save windows by dragging a bar to set a partition for ubuntu [02:19] forces, what's pupusas? [02:19] I'm not getting that option thi time [02:20] a typical food in El Salvador [02:20] !google pupusas [02:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about google pupusas [02:20] ¬¬ [02:20] imran, I can help you, but I would urge you to ditch windows. ;) [02:20] http://www.google.com.sv/search?source=ig&hl=es&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ESDE335&q=pupusas&lr=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=iw [02:20] Craig no for many unspeakable reasons [02:21] Ok so i've gotten past keyboard layout [02:21] Now on partition page [02:21] imran, ok... You'll feel so much better though. Why can't you tell xubuntu to use the ext3 partition for the install? [02:21] I have 2 options ; [02:21] Use entire disk [02:22] Or specify partitions manually [02:22] imran, right. What happens when you try to specify? [02:22] So I click specify manually [02:22] Did I say I don't want to lose windows [02:22] Which I was able to do last time [02:22] anyway [02:23] Now at prepare partitions [02:23] Is see my whole harddrive in green at the top [02:23] And I see dev sva [02:23] There's no way to make a new partition? [02:24] Beneath that is dev sda1 mtgs [02:24] forces, what's the partitioning tool Xub is using for this? The GUI one I mean [02:24] Ntfs* [02:24] ok so I hit new partition table [02:24] Hit continue [02:24] imran, is all your windows stuff backed up? You may end up in fdisk... [02:25] Craig I don't have backed up [02:25] But it fresh install [02:25] So don't need that bad [02:25] imran, windows you mean? [02:25] Yes [02:26] Ok, becuase I've never fdisked except on a fresh drive. Hang on a sec [02:26] But last time I installed ubuntu using a slider to set how much space for ubuntu/windows [02:26] And I'm not getting that option this time [02:28] I just don't wanna go through installing video card again [02:28] imran, things change. I can't find a bleeping volume control, other than in the command line... Check this out: http://man.linux-ntfs.org/ntfsresize.8.html [02:29] Craig what about this "gpart" I'm hearig a lot off [02:31] Hello? [02:32] imran, sorry, working on a website too. I don't know gpart. Is it a GUI front end for fdisk? [02:33] imran, if it's gparted you're thinking of, that's the gnome partitioner. You can install it in your livecd environment I imagine and use it, or just boot to a regular ubuntu cd and use it long enough to make your partitions the way you want them [02:34] Would that be able to partition without ruining windows? [02:36] I got it loaded on liveCD [02:38] hallo [02:38] imran, dude, settle down. If you typed my name it would make my screen blink so I'd know you said something. [02:38] imran, it should not ruin your windows partition... but who knows. [02:40] Craigbass1985 sorry I'm chatting on my iPod so I have to upe everything out [02:41] imran, ok, and I'm about to go solder my MP3 player and smoke a cigarette, so I'll be gone a bit. GParted is pretty self explanatory. BBIAB [02:42] Waiit [02:53] I'm back. The soldering gun was already hot, and the player was already apart [02:53] imran, how's it going? [02:54] Not well [02:54] Trying to use gparted but it won't let me do anything because I'm trying to work with boot drive [02:56] Craigbass1976 sorry I forgot to put you name in there [02:56] imran, hmmm... It won't let you resize the ntfs partition? [02:56] It's not currently partitioned [02:57] Whole drive is dedicated to windows [02:57] imran, that doesn't mean it's not partitioned. It must be or you wouldn't have been able to install windows. [02:57] An it won't let me do anything, craigbass1976 [02:57] imran, there is a gigantic ntfs partition, yes? [02:58] Well yes [02:58] /dev/sva1 ? [02:58] Yes [02:58] And you're using gparted? [02:58] Yes [02:58] or gpart? I've never heard of gpart, but that doesn't meananything [02:58] But it ha a exlamation point next to it [02:59] Yes it's gparted [02:59] hang on [02:59] K [03:00] http://gparted.sourceforge.net/docs/help-manual/C/gparted_manual.html#gparted-partitions Any of that helpful?

You'd have been better off partitioning first, then installing windows, then linux [03:11] x_X [03:11] thats just stupid... this didnt happen last time [03:11] last time it had an option to just drag a slider to set space for each [03:11] Is there a way to do that again? [03:14] craigbass1976, ? [03:14] Not that i'm aware of. The newer version of the partitioning program must have gotten rid of that feature [03:18] craigbass1976, im using the same cd to install as last time [03:18] and the setting was in the install process D: [04:07] is there a way to install xubuntu on a usb drive with all the options of saving downloading etc but use it on a different pc than the one I install it on?

Gnome has a graphical menu editor, does xfce have one? [09:55] vadviktor, which xubuntu version do you have? [09:55] latest [09:56] okay. i'm sorry to tell, but xfce 4.6 does not have a menu editor. [09:56] we're working to get one in karmic [09:58] so there is only the xml editing way, is it? :) [09:59] yes, for now [10:02] thank you very much for the info! byez! o/ :) [11:05] Hi all, [11:05] I download deft4.2 [11:05] It is live cd.

[11:29] mijax: deft? this is a xubuntu support channel... [11:35] deft is a live cd that use xubuntu as kernel. please help me. [11:37] it's based on xubuntu, not much to do with kernel [11:38] they don't have any own support? if not, there are xubuntu livecds also [11:43] Is it possible to config network card in live cds? [11:44] Sysi: ok, deft is based on xubuntu not kernel.it was a mistake! [11:46] what network card do you have?

[16:23] Besogon: not yet [16:23] but alacarte's author is working on compatibility with XFCE [16:30] SiDi, ok. xfce menu is the same like in gnome. It have got other names of files. And alacarte shouldn't to change mach to work with xfce menu. Im not program maker. But if I were I would make, of couse, on it. [16:57] Today I added "My computer" in "main menu" on XP. And it was so great! I didn't have to use TotalCommander or explorer to search files at the computer... [18:01] Hello [18:02] Anyone has installed xubuntu on a Dell mini 9? [18:02] I have [18:03] ok [18:03] have u found a way to make the keyboard shorcuts work? as in AUDIO OFF etc [18:04] I never really tried [18:04] ahh ok [18:05] what was your general experience my friend? [18:05] because i'm not really that i'mpressed... [18:05] it's cool though [18:07] hi? [18:23] hello everybody and good evening (MEST) [18:23] can anybody help me with vanished panels of the xcfe-desktop? [18:25] hello. is it possible to install xubuntu and have full disk encryption? [18:27] Flori_: does xfce4-panel work? can you see it in your system monitor? [18:28] hezy: hm... just checking [18:31] Hezy: No, it doesn't. Should it? === Sysi is now known as Sysi-- [18:32] Flori_: yes/ you can start it by pressing alt+F2, write in there xfce4-panel and press run [18:33] Hezy: Ah, there it goes. How can I start it automatically after booting? [18:35] go to settings->session and startup [18:35] then go to the Session tab and check what is the restart style [18:36] Hezy: yep... I think I just did that myself. I added another application and typed 'xcfe4-panel' into the 'command' space. I'm rebooting now. [18:36] Hezy: Oh, I didn't do That! Ok, let's see what happens. [18:36] no nedd to reboot [18:37] just log out and back in [18:38] well -- it's starting at login now. [18:38] great [18:38] yeah, thanks. what about the 'session' tab? [18:39] you can check there to see if it is set to restart "immediately" [18:39] yes, it is. what does it mean? [18:40] that it is set to start immediately ;) [18:40] ok ;). can I ask you something else? [18:41] sure [18:41] now I've installed ubunut originally. Is there a way of completely changing to xubuntu apart from installing the xcfe-desktop (as I have)? [18:42] and were there any advantages? [18:42] Flori_, xubuntu-desktop is the correct package, if you want to install default ubuntu [18:43] Flori_, there isn't that much advantages, mostly more free HD space [18:43] you can remove the ubuntu-desktop meta-package, but I don't think it will change much by itself [18:43] !purexfce | Flori_ [18:43] Flori_: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » [18:44] there isn't really such a thing pure Xfce, because many of the packages that ubuntu uses are from gnome [18:44] such as the System Monitor you have just used [18:44] Whowwhee, what a shower of answers. Thanks! would it speed up my system to delete the ubuntu-desktop? [18:44] Hezy: Thanks, I understand. [18:44] Flori_, not really, but it wouldn't do any harm either, if you are not using gnome [18:45] it will not speed your computer by itself [18:45] My system, that is: thinkpad T40, ca. 1,5 GHz, 1Gb Ram, 40 Gb HD. [18:45] and the free diskspace? [18:46] knome: gnome-applications, you mean? [18:46] Flori_, what? [18:46] is it possible to encrypt just the home directory? [18:46] !encrypted [18:46] For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [18:46] some of what you have there is not running any way, and the things that run you probably do need. it may save some space, but not as much as you might think [18:46] zx, ^ [18:47] I dont want to encrypt a directory, but the whole home partition [18:47] Flori_: what computer do you use? (CPU, memory, disk)? [18:48] zx, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto [18:48] knome: you said 'if I was not using gnome' and I'm not sure whether you mean gnome-desktop or gnome applications in general. Or did I get something substantially wrong there? [18:48] Flori_, if you are not logging into the gnome desktop environment. [18:48] Hezy: I described my system some lines above, could you see there? [18:49] Flori_, while using xfce you can't get rid of gnome *completely*, but many parts of it [18:49] knome: Thank you. what did you mean with '!xubuntu'? [18:50] !purexfce | Flori_ [18:50] Flori_: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » [18:50] knome: !purexcfe, I mean [18:50] Flori_, read what ubottu tells you [18:50] knome: i heard ubuntu gives the possibility to encrypt the home dir... why with xubuntu is not the same? [18:50] Flori_, that's the way you can remove all gnome packages xubuntu doesn't install by default. [18:50] rightio, thanks. [18:50] Flori_, thus, ending with an installation similar to if you installed xubuntu from a disc [18:51] Flori_: no I don't see it. but anyway, I don't think you would gain much from removing gnome. If it works don't try to fix it... [18:51] Hezy: :) :) :) I better didn't! [18:51] zx, everything what is possible in ubuntu is possible in xubuntu. [18:52] i tried, but it still formats the home partition without encrypting it [18:52] zx, are you following a specific tutorial? can you give a link to it? [18:53] Hey folks, I enjoy your helpfulness a lot. Enjoy your day or night, wherever you are! [18:53] See you! [18:53] Flori_, you too [18:53] knome: no tutorials [18:54] zx, which xubuntu version do you have? [18:54] 9.04 [18:54] Flori_: Xubuntu is not the fastest and leanest distro, but it works well by using some gnome components. if it is a very old computer you can try other distros to get more speed, but for a 5-6 years old computer Xubuntu is great. [18:55] zx, is it already installed or are you only about to install it? [18:55] about to install it [18:55] okay [18:55] you need the alternate cd [18:55] got it [18:56] i tried with setting expert mode [18:56] but it doesn't let me encrypt anything [18:57] i'm not familiar with this thing, sorry [18:57] thanks anyway [18:57] i don't know how it's supposed to be working [18:58] you could ask #ubuntu, as this is not xubuntu-specific [18:58] ill install it without any encryption.. hoping nobody will steal my laptop :) [18:59] must go... bye! [19:03] Hezy: Now that's interesting. because I have another mashine, a PIII 600MHz, 193 MBRam, and some 5 GB HD. what distro could you fancy for this one? [19:03] xubuntu is doing quite well on it, though. some start-ups are slow, but apart from that it's ok. [19:07] I would suggest a cli install of ubuntu and XFCE as an interface. Thats a low amount of ram and HD space. [19:07] er, LXDE [19:09] what's lxde? [19:09] Lightweight Xwindows Desktop Enviroment, based on openbox. [19:09] and what's a 'cli' install? [19:10] command line interface. [19:10] hm... not sure whether I'd make that... [19:10] sounds difficult for me used to grafic interfaces [19:11] well you only need use it to install the LXDE gui and synaptic. [19:12] what's gui, please? [19:12] after that your good to go in a graphical environment [19:12] graphical user interface [19:12] ah, ok. [19:13] thanks, I'LL try! [19:13] See you. [19:14] Flori_ you can also try a live CD with LXED, it will be easier and you'll see if it fits your needs [19:16] Knoppix 6.0 is a Live CD that uses LXDE and it is based on Debian (just like Ubuntu does), so it is not too different. [19:18] As incredible as it may seem to be, I thought that this was #xubuntu and not #lubuntu. [19:19] SiDi, woot! i'm on the wrong channel then [19:19] :P [19:19] knome: yyeh, go pink pink binary birds for LXDE ! [19:19] meh [19:19] paint pink [19:19] in 256 colours btw ! [19:20] meh [19:30] SiDi: this is just for spying on the enemies ;) [19:31] isn't this what live CD's are for? [19:33] no. They're for playing freezbie [19:33] what if i don't do sports? [19:35] SiDi: CDs are not stable enough for freezbie [19:35] try glass plate insted [21:07] hello, i use ubuntu on notebook, but I installed today xfce and I have got this problem. "Fn" hotkey for sound stopped working in xfce but in gnome it is working. Where is the problem? === SiDi_ is now known as SiDi [22:09] bluetooth mouse has be set up each time upon log in-how can i get it to auto connect?
