[04:57] mikubuntu, some proprietary nonsense, I'd assume. :-\ [05:00] prolly [05:36] G'nite. [08:29] hi all. i have just installed xubuntu 9.04 amd64. i installed some icon themes from xfce-look.org but when i use those themes half the icons seem to be missing. those icons revert to the default icon theme [08:29] what gives? [08:38] anybody? [08:39] hey [08:39] whats up [08:40] hey [08:40] sup [08:40] chillin, codin [08:41] ah [08:41] im trying to figure out icon theme madness [08:41] apparently xfce4.4 > 4.6 broke something with all icon themes except the default [08:42] =s I dunno, I only use the default theme [09:16] knock kcock anybody there? [09:16] i have a problem, can anyone help me? [09:17] nobody there very bad. [09:17] why i snobody here? [09:19] Legendre: can you help me? [09:19] KingOfDos: can you helpo me? [09:19] ello [09:19] mikubuntu: can you help me? [09:19] ryguy: can you help me? [09:20] lol If I knew your problem.. [09:20] i used to have dual booting, xp and ubuntu. it went nice. but recently i had to remove ubuntu, and when i again installed it, ther comes error sying Error 15\; file not found. [09:20] of cource after booting to ubuntu [09:20] in GRUB [09:20] did you do extensive google searching on the error? [09:21] it was no fruitful [09:21] did you try editing that file (I forget which on it was) in widows that allows you to dual boot? [09:21] I dont know much about dual booting linux and windows [09:22] no. because thats not what the problem is. hte problem is with ubuntu itself [09:23] what version ubuntu [09:24] baed on hardy [09:24] try installing jaunty or karmic [09:24] karmic has an updated version of grub [09:24] hi [09:24] hey [09:25] everybody suggests jaunty. [09:25] karmic is still in development, thats why [09:25] i will try that. [09:25] avash1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows << try this guide, it isnt the same senario but it does fix grub [09:25] karmic will be officially out in one month [09:25] I am unable to resolve "short" hostnames (like "client1") from a xubuntu box, I have to specify the FQDN (like "client1.domain.local") even though I have added the "domain.local" suffix to the search list in resolv.conf [09:25] can you help me? [09:26] do you know if dual booting is good or not? the othere day i met a girl, she said dual booting is very problamatic. [09:26] its not bad, really. [09:26] "give her the boot" :P [09:27] lol [09:27] "give her the boot" :P what does that amean [09:27] * ryguy facepalms [09:28] a joke [09:28] real meaning of that joke? [09:28] "to give the boot" = "to fire, to dismiss, to get rid of" [09:28] buy her a box of chocolates and some flowers [09:29] taht doesnot sound like a joke [09:29] avashi, english isnt your first language, is it? [09:30] i am a nepalese [09:30] I see [09:30] anyway... can you help me figuring out that dns issue? [09:30] I dont fully understand your problem [09:30] the search domain suffix list does not seem to work [09:31] i cant because i am a xo user. i have just started ubuntu [09:31] I can't resolve a hostname if I don't add the domain suffix manually [09:31] client1 does not resolve; client1.domain.suffix does [09:31] sorry man, I just dunno [09:32] MaxFrames, is this for the local network? [09:35] yes, I'm trying to resolve local hostnames using a local dns server [09:36] the dns server is a windows 2003 one [09:40] MaxFrames, have you tried client1.local [09:42] i have a tiny bit of experience with 2k3 but none using it as a primary network server [09:47] I've tried pretty much everything [09:47] it's just ignoring the domain suffix search list [09:47] I think the problem is client-side... [09:53] MaxFrames, have you added the ip of the 2k3 DNS to your network configuration [09:54] solved [09:55] the problem was that I had not specified any domain in the ubuntu box configuration [09:55] haha, easyt [09:55] for some weird reason, the search list is ignored if a domain name is not specified for the local machine [09:55] aa [09:55] it works even if I specify a bogus domain [09:55] isnt it odd how such small things can be such a big nuisance [09:56] in short, the querying machine must "belong" to some domain before it can use a domain suffix search list [09:56] which doesn't make much sense to me, but still... [09:57] for an internal network i would think it adds an extra security layer [09:57] but who knows [09:58] i am a batman, i managed my problem.... ya ...hooooooo [09:58] techie gotta sec? [09:58] sure bal [09:59] what problem, avash1? [09:59] played a youtube vid the sound came thru mt speaker great ...but the sound(song is over) and the video itslef still hasnt finished is lagging behind the sound [10:00] even w98 could do that but it couldnt do much else [10:00] sounds like your video card doesnt like rendering flash videos [10:00] shoukd i have taken the gnome offering [10:01] huh? [10:01] it gave me 3 choices...we decided on flash remember [10:02] bbl [10:02] i had problem with my key board hardware problem [10:02] you said you prefered the ones where people get paid [10:02] meh, doesnt really make much of a difference [10:02] wow the vid just ended and the song was done 2 minutes ago [10:02] only because they were updated more frequently, not because they are more efficient [10:03] might be my ole 8mb ati too [10:03] oh yeah bal, i got some specs of my laptop [10:03] maybe because i just now finished a zillion more upgrades and took 9.04? [10:03] i am notorious with hardwares. [10:04] i can repair many types, even the one i first handled [10:04] 400mhz G4 cpu, 640mb RAM, 8mb ATI Rage Mobility 2x AGP [10:04] my w98 coulndt do anyhting right but iplayed these youtubers [10:04] 400 pII 768sdram pc133 8mb ati yup [10:05] would some ram help er [10:05] yours was 1998 wasnt it? [10:05] yup [10:05] nah shes got more than enough [10:05] mines 2k [10:06] i may pop 3 sticks of 512 in her for a total of 1.5gig sdram [10:06] dont know if that helps with this issue [10:06] dont try it [10:06] your motherboard wont support it [10:06] to dangerous? [10:07] well my board wasnt supposed to take the 768 either [10:07] supposed to be all done at 384 [10:07] noone knows unless you rad something? [10:07] put it this way, yours in a 1998 board with a 400mhz cpu, mine is a recent board with a 2.8ghz cpu, and mine ahs a max of 2gig [10:07] read* [10:08] is* [10:08] but some of the dell techs claim my board is a pwerhouse untested only because the new sticks werent around then some say what you say [10:09] i think you are probably right and i just got lucky when i doubled what the book said [10:10] ontop of that, even if you could up it to 1.5gig you wouldnt be able to access it fast enough to use it all [10:10] i played it agsain and the sound and video finished a little closer togeether only off by 10-15 seconds now but hey people are moving real stiff like [10:11] when was the last time you rebooted your box? [10:11] right after the install upgrade 904 told me too (moment ago) [10:11] hit restart [10:11] it might be 9.04 making it run sliggish [10:12] i was nutz to take 904 [10:12] i noticed my lappy was a bit sluggish from a fresh install or 9.04 [10:12] of* [10:12] it has never been the same since i took the original 349 upgrades on the 810 [10:13] 810 runfaster for me clean woth no upgrades [10:13] ?

[14:58] * likemindead groggily mutters, "Mornin'." [14:58] I am just reviewing the Ubu weekly Newsletter #161 and wanting to see if Xubu is on the same track for the Beta release? [14:59] Pres-Gas, "same track" ? [14:59] I was going to guess "yes" but then we are now starting to use some slightly different packages (i.e. GDM) for 9.10 I was not sure that was going to delay any release times. [14:59] Surely, it is. Always has been. [15:00] Pres-Gas, the gdm is same as in ubuntu [15:05] knome, cody-somerville wrote that we are using 2.20 for karmic https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2009-August/007032.html). [15:06] ...unless this changed and I slept through that one? [15:08] Pres-Gas, i just confirmed this from him, we are using the same gdm as ubuntu [15:08] that mail is already a month old [15:09] Ahhh, cool if it all works. [15:09] yes, it works [15:38] * likemindead is away: My second home is a third world cantina. [15:44] ablomen: tanx [17:31] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Make%20your%20USB%20stick%20bootable%20with%20SYSLINUX [17:31] is this relevant to xubuntu? [17:32] all I want to do is install from usb stick [17:32] yes [17:32] thanks [17:32] i don't remember if that worked with alternate install but with normal it will [17:37] what is the alternate install? [17:37] with text installer [17:42] * likemindead is back (gone 02:03:50) [17:43] public away isn't that nice [17:47] Sysi: likemindead has been given !away warnings a lot in different channels, they seem to be oblivious [17:47] after some bans.. [17:53] Knome -> Now I am :-D [17:54] MadsRH, :) [17:54] MadsRH, #xubuntu-devel please :) [17:54] Check! [17:55] Don't be so boorish genii & Sysi. [17:55] likemindead, i also really think you should get rid of those public away messages [17:56] How is it any different from someone who says, "BBL." etc. and then leaves and then comes back and says, "I'm back! LOL!" [17:56] ? [17:56] I've never understood this secret IRC etiquette. [17:57] thats just irritating [17:57] That's your opinion. [17:57] no one really wants to know [17:57] No one's asking you to commit it to memory. [17:57] thats just dumb unneeded message [17:57] As is this whole conversation. [17:58] You guys are defiling my sacred CHAT ROOM! [17:58] likemindead, as it's automatic, it's not really "okay" [17:58] it would be best if this isn't needed :) [18:08] * SiDi hates auto away messages too... [18:08] When you're on 10 channels with about 200 people, its boring to check your channels just to notice someone went to take a cup of coffee [22:58] Uhm. I got a question about Wine on Xubuntu, can someone help me please, [22:58] ? [22:59] it doesn't work that way, you have to actually ask the question, and if anybody knows the answer, you will get it [22:59] Okay then [22:59] :) [23:00] Here goes: Okay, so when you install something via Wine, it installs to the 'Other' menu in the Applications menu. Well, here's my [23:00] Problem [23:01] Whenever I try to remove something from the Other menu, by using the uninstall option all setup.exe files comes with, it doesn't uninstall. Now I am very VERY short on space. So, how do I get rid of them, I already tried deleting drive_c in the .wine but it didn't delete any of the files, help? [23:01] Should I just uninstall Wine from Add/Remove program? [23:01] And then re-install? [23:02] i cant see why that wouldnt work [23:02] first of all, those are just menu entires, removing them wont give you much space [23:02] and Lappy, always remember... [23:02] Okay, I'm going to try that now [23:02] !ask [23:02] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:02] second, they are in .local/share/applications/wine [23:03] Have an old compaq desktop with 225Mhz processor, 4 gigs HD space, would xubuntu be ok? [23:03] Okay [23:03] I'll try that then [23:03] stevex: no [23:03] damn, trying to find something to put on this oldy.... [23:04] you could wait for lubuntu [23:04] may i suggest puppy or DSL [23:04] Tried DSL, hit enter to start install, goes to blank screen, I'm assuming doesn't support hardware? [23:05] TheSheep: If I delete the wine folder in .local/share/applications/wine, it'll be like uninstalling, right? [23:05] im not sure, ive never tried linux on something with such low specs [23:05] yeah, or those.. although ur computer might work with lubuntu, which could be a nice choice... once it gets released first :/ [23:05] It shipped with Win98 [23:05] Lappy: no, it will delete the menu entries, but not the program files [23:05] Okay [23:05] Lappy: it's like deleting the shortcut [23:05] Okay [23:06] Lappy: but the programs surely asked where to install? [23:06] i had an installation problem with some xubuntu, so i downloaded the alternative cd and it worked [23:07] Yeah [23:07] C:/Program Files/X [23:07] floating: yeah, live cd has trouble on low-ram systems [23:07] So if I go to my c drive. Did that already [23:07] Deleted all of it [23:07] Lappy: then it was in that drive_c directory [23:07] Lappy: so you only have menu shortcuts left [23:07] Okay [23:08] I'd like to get rid of them [23:08] There is quite literally like 60 [23:08] Lappy: they don't work anymore, do they? [23:08] No, no they do not [23:08] Lappy: well, you know where they are [23:08] Uhm [23:08] Local so on [23:08] yes [23:09] I can't seem to find local xD [23:09] stevex: this article shows that xubuntu is not for such systems http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7520/1.html [23:09] Thank you floating, think I'm going to try puppy [23:09] Lappy: it's .local [23:10] Lappy: it's hidden [23:10] Okay [23:10] So I go to where then? [23:10] ok, good luck [23:10] in my home folder? [23:10] in thunar view->show hiden files [23:10] yes [23:10] Okay [23:10] Thank you so much for the help :D [23:11] It must be the packages I installed [23:11] That's taking up so much space [23:11] Thanks TheSheep :) [23:11] Lappy: try 'sudo apt-get clean' [23:11] Okay? [23:11] Lappy: that will clean apt's cache [23:11] Oooo [23:11] Okay ;D [23:12] Okay. I cleaned it I guess [23:12] 'df -h' shows free space [23:13] 14G - 20 used [23:13] Gotta figure out what's cluttering it... [23:14] install gnome-utils and run 'baobab' [23:14] it's a very cool disk usage visualiser [23:14] Okay [23:15] Where do I find the show hidden files button exactly [23:15] Sorry for the newbish questions, still new to Xubuntu/Linux [23:15] Found it [23:16] Already showing [23:18] Okay [23:18] Deleted the file but shortcuts are still there [23:18] Restart my system? [23:20] Lappy: n need [23:20] no need [23:20] Hmm [23:20] delete .cache/xfce4/desktop/ [23:20] Shortcuts in the 'Other' menu are still thee though [23:20] Oh okay [23:24] Huh [23:24] I don't have the xfce4 [23:24] It's .cache [23:24] Then I have Rhthym Box, sessions, Thunar, and Totem [23:25] Okay downloading Disk Usage Analyzer [23:26] Is this pretty much the same as Windows Disk Defragmenter? Is there something similar? [23:28] WWWHHHOOAA! Sorry for the caps, but it deserves it [23:28] The other menu is gone! [23:28] Thank you so very much TheSheep ! [23:29] Lappy, linux doesn't really need defragmenting [23:30] Okay [23:30] Also, I installed Disk Analyzer, but where would it be in the menus? [23:30] maybe system [23:31] Okay [23:31] Looking there [23:31] Nope [23:32] Nothing named 'Disk Analyzer' [23:32] disk usage analyzer basically tells you how much space you have used [23:32] Yeah [23:32] ... I found the problem... [23:32] ? :) [23:33] it may be hidden in menus [23:33] I was using a downloading tool to get parts of a file like 5 GB big [23:33] That's where all my space went xD [23:33] try [ressing alt+f2 and typing 'baobab' [23:33] The parts = 5GB and the file unzipped = 6GB [23:33] That's where it went :P [23:34] There we go [23:35] Now only 3.4 GB used [23:35] Now one more problem. Xubuntu isn't detecting my 8.4GB hard drive? Where is it?
