| Lappy | knome. It looks like it detected it in startup | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | okay, great | 00:15 |
| Lappy | But it won't show up in Xubunu, help? | 00:15 |
| Lappy | Xubuntu* | 00:15 |
| knome | did you look at /media again? | 00:15 |
| Lappy | O | 00:16 |
| knome | O? :) | 00:16 |
| Lappy | Right | 00:16 |
| knome | okay | 00:16 |
| knome | go to terminal and type 'sudo fdisk -l' | 00:16 |
| Lappy | Just did | 00:16 |
| Lappy | It says dev/sdb2 | 00:17 |
| knome | okay | 00:17 |
| Lappy | It's not in /media Though... | 00:17 |
| knome | with 'blkid' do you see /dev/sdb2? | 00:17 |
| Lappy | It has Windows 2000 if that's any help... | 00:17 |
| Lappy | On the hard drive | 00:17 |
| knome | oh, so it's supposedly ntfs drive? | 00:17 |
| Lappy | Yup | 00:17 |
| knome | !ntfs | 00:17 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 00:17 |
| knome | that's a more thorough howto | 00:18 |
| Lappy | Okay | 00:20 |
| Lappy | Found an NTFS config tool in Add/Remove | 00:20 |
| Lappy | Does that work? | 00:20 |
| Lappy | In all honest truth I quickly skimmed the page | 00:21 |
| Lappy | In a bit of a hurry.... | 00:21 |
| knome | i don't know, i have almost no experiences on ntfs+linux | 00:22 |
| Lappy | Okay | 00:22 |
| Lappy | Well I'm going to try it now | 00:22 |
| knome | okay | 00:22 |
| Lappy | Hmmm | 00:23 |
| Lappy | How to run it now | 00:23 |
| Lappy | Not showing up in menu | 00:23 |
| Lappy | Alt+f2 | 00:23 |
| knome | hmm | 00:23 |
| Lappy | What's the command though... | 00:23 |
| knome | ntfs-config? | 00:23 |
| Lappy | Okay | 00:23 |
| Lappy | I'll try | 00:24 |
| knome | i don't know, just guessing | 00:24 |
| Lappy | Uhm | 00:24 |
| Lappy | So | 00:24 |
| Lappy | It would be 'run ntfs-config'? | 00:24 |
| knome | no | 00:24 |
| knome | just 'ntfs-config | 00:24 |
| knome | ' | 00:24 |
| Lappy | Okay | 00:24 |
| Lappy | Error: This programm need to be run as root | 00:25 |
| knome | okay, then 'gksudo ntfs-config' | 00:25 |
| Lappy | Okay | 00:25 |
| Lappy | Yup that worked | 00:25 |
| Lappy | Dev/sdb1 | 00:26 |
| Lappy | Just a sec | 00:26 |
| Lappy | Okay, I did blkid it says /dev/sdb1: UUID= "3618B33D18B2FAC7" TYPE="ntfs" | 00:28 |
| Lappy | Is that the one? I'm guessing it is... | 00:28 |
| knome | yes, that's it | 00:28 |
| Lappy | Okay | 00:28 |
| Lappy | So Click add then, taking a guess :P | 00:28 |
| knome | heh | 00:28 |
| Lappy | Mount Point? | 00:29 |
| Lappy | What is that? | 00:29 |
| Lappy | Add a name for Mount Point | 00:29 |
| knome | that's a directory | 00:29 |
| Lappy | What should I name it then? | 00:29 |
| knome | eg. /media/windows | 00:29 |
| Lappy | Just leave it | 00:29 |
| Lappy | Okay | 00:29 |
| Lappy | So like /media/8.2GB | 00:29 |
| Lappy | Right? | 00:29 |
| Lappy | Yes I know, it's small | 00:29 |
| Lappy | :) | 00:29 |
| knome | that's okay as well, i suppose. i'm not sure about the . though | 00:30 |
| Lappy | Okay | 00:30 |
| Lappy | Then /media/windows it is | 00:30 |
| Lappy | Heh :P | 00:30 |
| knome | you can always change that | 00:30 |
| Lappy | Right | 00:30 |
| Lappy | Because it's a file directory? | 00:30 |
| Lappy | Ph | 00:30 |
| Lappy | Oh* | 00:31 |
| Lappy | You must choose a name, not a directory | 00:31 |
| Lappy | Okay | 00:31 |
| Lappy | Windows it is | 00:31 |
| knome | :] | 00:31 |
| Lappy | I got one | 00:31 |
| Lappy | IBM HD | 00:31 |
| Lappy | There. I'm so smart xP | 00:31 |
| Lappy | There we go /media/IBM HD | 00:32 |
| Lappy | Hmmm. Enable write support for external device? | 00:32 |
| knome | well, if you want to write to it.. | 00:32 |
| Lappy | Enable wrote support for internal device is already checks | 00:32 |
| Lappy | Checked* | 00:33 |
| Lappy | There's two options. Write support for internal and write support for external | 00:33 |
| knome | hmm | 00:33 |
| Lappy | Check both just in case? | 00:33 |
| knome | then use internal | 00:33 |
| knome | i think :) | 00:33 |
| Lappy | Okay | 00:33 |
| knome | you can also change that later | 00:33 |
| Lappy | I can always remount | 00:33 |
| Lappy | Yup | 00:33 |
| Lappy | It's all there | 00:34 |
| Lappy | Thank you so much for your help :D | 00:34 |
| knome | no problem | 00:34 |
| knome | have fun with xubuntu :) | 00:34 |
| Lappy | :) | 00:34 |
| Lappy | I'll come back here if I run into any dilemas | 00:35 |
| knome | yeah | 00:35 |
| Lappy | :). Hopefully I'll be a Xubuntu guru one day :P | 00:35 |

| === techie__ is now known as Techie | ||
| ryguy | are there any browsers that don't rape my cpu? I'm running a 0.85 GHz PIII | 05:20 |
| Techie | 850mhz should be more than enough for a standard browser | 05:25 |
| ryguy | you would think so... firefox rapes my cpu and chrome rapes my memory (371MiB) | 05:26 |
| Techie | have you tried opera? | 05:30 |
| Techie | thats supposedly lightwieght | 05:30 |
| ryguy | I'm about to install epiphany-browser, do you think opera would be faster? | 05:31 |
| Techie | im not really sure ive never used either of them, im just going by what ive heard | 05:32 |
| ryguy | fair enough, I'm gonna try epiphany then try opera if I have any problems | 05:35 |
| ryguy | is xubuntu the lightest version of ubuntu? | 05:35 |
| Lappy | I think Puppy may be one of the lightest... | 05:37 |
| Lappy | Correct me | 05:37 |
| ryguy | puppy is a version of ubuntu? | 06:09 |
| Sysi | not as far as i know | 06:21 |
| Sysi | it may is based on that but it isn't version of it | 06:22 |
| ryguy | right | 06:22 |
| Techie | Sysi, just a heads up puppy is rpm based, not debian | 06:32 |
| Sysi | well, i don't know much about it | 06:32 |
| Balsaq | techie: are using web janitor...is that xubu? | 06:40 |

| shai | I'm using VIA EPIA M9000 board... | 10:21 |
| shai | Could this be a problem? | 10:21 |

| ValentineX | When i connect usb, where can i see USB mounted icon etC? | 14:40 |
| likemindead | In your file manager, Thunar, as well as the "Places" tray. There are several other options too. | 14:43 |
| likemindead | You can have it appear on your desktop. | 14:43 |
| likemindead | Etc. | 14:43 |
| ValentineX | from where what is thunar | 14:43 |
| ValentineX | opened home, now where? | 14:44 |
| ValentineX | I do not see it any where, it was fine in ubuntu | 14:45 |
| likemindead | ... | 15:01 |
| Pres-Gas | Well, likemindead, at least you tried. | 15:11 |

| robert0 | last night i started to have a problem where any time i'd open a new application the window would close automatically. i rebooted and now it's happening for the login screen and i can't login. it's in a continuous open/close loop. i'm running the latest xubuntu. | 18:35 |
| knome | robert0, latest == jaunty (9.04) or karmic (9.10)? | 18:37 |
| genii | Smells of mis-owned ~ files | 18:40 |
| robert0 | knome: jaunty 9.04 | 18:42 |
| knome | robert0, what did you do before this started to happen? | 18:43 |
| robert0 | nothing that i know of | 18:43 |
| knome | as genii said, it might be files in your home which have wrong permissions | 18:43 |
| === feld2 is now known as Feldegast | ||
| bittin` | Hello do anyone knows how to do the apt-cache bigger? | 18:46 |
| genii | bittin`: Can you explain better the problem? | 18:47 |
| robert0 | ~/.. was the only thing in my home dir owned by root. i chown'd it to my user restarted the machine. and it's still doing the same thing. is there something else i should be looking fore? | 18:54 |
| TheSheep | robert0: .. should be owned by root | 18:55 |
| TheSheep | robert0: do you have free disk space in home? | 18:55 |
| * Pres-Gas wonders if anything is showing up in robert0's logs...maybe from "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" specifically? | 18:56 | |
| genii | robert0: Did you do something like: ls -lah /home/yourusername ? Because a lot of the dotfiles are in there | 18:56 |
| robert0 | . /home is 55% used. i manually ls -al every dir... does -h show more info? | 18:59 |
| genii | Yes, the hidden files | 18:59 |
| genii | "dotfiles" | 19:00 |
| robert0 | i see those with ls -al . -lah looks better though :D | 19:01 |
| genii | robert0: So as far as you can tell, everything recursively in /home/yourname belongs to yourname:yourname ? | 19:03 |
| robert0 | yes | 19:03 |
| bittin` | got it to work now :) | 19:03 |
| genii | robert0: Perhaps install pastebinit and then show us contents of the /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 19:06 |
| robert0 | i'm not sure how to get the machine on the network. it has a wireless nic. i use the gui network manager :-/ | 19:11 |
| genii | Alternately, you could stick stuff onto a usb stick, shuffle it to the box you're on, then use the pastebin | 19:18 |
| robert0 | i'm having trouble finding a usb drive atm, not my day. fwiw, i went through /var/log/Xorg.0.log the only warning was one about not having cyrillic fonts installed | 19:27 |
| genii | Anything notable in the auth.log ? | 19:28 |
| genii | Or possibly gdm.log seeing as how currently it keeps going back to login screen | 19:29 |
| robert0 | checking it out right now. | 19:32 |
| robert0 | from /var/log/auth.log gdm[11453]: pam_nolgin(gdm:auth): cannot determine username | 19:38 |
| robert0 | http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gdm-list/2009-May/msg00017.html seems to have the same problem but no fix | 19:39 |
| likemindead | If I download a video in .flv form, how to I get it to play in a DVD player? | 21:21 |
| likemindead | Convert it first? If so, to what format? | 21:21 |
| genii | .vob | 21:31 |
| likemindead | Convert the .flv to .vob & then burn it to DVD, genii? | 21:50 |
| genii | likemindead: Basically, yes. You may want to look into the app DeVeDe as well | 21:58 |
| genii | !info devede | 21:58 |
| ubottu | devede (source: devede): program to create video DVDs. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.12c-0ubuntu1 (jaunty), package size 1516 kB, installed size 3456 kB | 21:58 |
| genii | It can do stuff like avi/wmv->dvd layouts. Not sure about straight flv though | 21:59 |
| Ido_ | Hello guys, umm, I have a question...about installing Xubuntu | 22:03 |
| knome | !ask | Ido_ | 22:03 |
| ubottu | Ido_: 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. :-) | 22:03 |
| Ido_ | It's like forcing me to put a password, is it possible to cancel it after the OS is installed? | 22:04 |
| Ido_ | Yeah sorry, I just thought it was too long for 1 message and it's also the first time i'm in this channel XD | 22:04 |
| knome | i'd suggest to not leave the password empty. you can choose if the user is loggeed in automatically | 22:04 |
| knome | but you need the password for administrating your system, like installing updates | 22:05 |
| Ido_ | Hmm ok, and it won't limit other computers in my network from seeing my computer by a password? It's just a password for Admin's stuff? | 22:06 |
| knome | do you mean if other computers can access your computer without password? | 22:07 |
| Ido_ | Yeah | 22:07 |
| knome | what kind of networking setup do you have in mind? | 22:07 |
| knome | you shouldn't really give your admin password to anybody | 22:07 |
| Ido_ | It's a home computer, going to be installed on my old Celeron laptop so it'd connect to the TV and run movies from other comps | 22:08 |
| Ido_ | That run WinXP | 22:08 |
| Ido_ | Which means...regular network, with WinXP's | 22:08 |
| knome | right. | 22:08 |
| knome | !sambe | 22:08 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sambe | 22:08 |
| knome | d'oh :) | 22:08 |
| knome | !samba | 22:08 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 22:08 |
| Ido_ | Oh, thought it was automatically connect-able...anyways, my purposes won't be limited to a password with this Samba? | 22:10 |
| Ido_ | Sorry for the annoying questions btw .-. | 22:10 |
| knome | actually, i'm not sure | 22:10 |
| knome | i have used samba very little | 22:10 |
| knome | what files do you mean to share? | 22:10 |
| knome | would the winxp machine need to write there or read only? | 22:11 |
| Ido_ | Probably movies mainly | 22:11 |
| Ido_ | Read only I guess | 22:11 |
| knome | i'm not really the expert on samba, but you might be able to do it without password. | 22:12 |
| knome | you might ask #ubuntu for the samba configuration as it's not xubuntu-specific. | 22:12 |
| Ido_ | Kay...well bad case, it's like the easiest password, but I hoped to avoid the "trouble" | 22:13 |
| Ido_ | So I can keep it regularly if I choose to automatically connect, and i'll figure out clearly what to do with that Samba thing in Ubuntu's chat... | 22:14 |
| Ido_ | Thanks a lot, i'm going to my other computer to complete the installation XD | 22:14 |
| knome | no problem | 22:14 |
| knome | have fun with xubuntu | 22:14 |
| twocarlo | just installed xubuntu 9 64 bit few minutes ago,this is great and it was ultimately fast | 22:33 |
| knome | twocarlo, great to hear. the version number is probably 9.04 though :) (9 for 2009, 04 for april) | 22:34 |
| twocarlo | knome:yeah you 're right to be exact | 22:37 |
| knome | in a month we will be releasing 9.10 | 22:39 |
| twocarlo | oh ic | 22:48 |
| knome | well actually less than a month | 22:49 |
| twocarlo | up to what screen resolution can it support i got 1366x960 but im only using 1024x760 | 22:57 |
| knome | my resolution is 3840x1200 | 22:59 |
| twocarlo | knome:are you using dual s-dvi | 23:00 |
| knome | twocarlo, yep | 23:00 |
| twocarlo | that was overkill for a desktop, however still provides infinite excitement | 23:06 |
| knome | umm, not really | 23:08 |
| knome | (for both) | 23:08 |
| knome | when i work i really need all the space | 23:09 |
| twocarlo | ic then | 23:11 |
