[00:12] knome. It looks like it detected it in startup [00:15] okay, great [00:15] But it won't show up in Xubunu, help? [00:15] Xubuntu* [00:15] did you look at /media again? [00:16] O [00:16] O? :) [00:16] Right [00:16] okay [00:16] go to terminal and type 'sudo fdisk -l' [00:16] Just did [00:17] It says dev/sdb2 [00:17] okay [00:17] It's not in /media Though... [00:17] with 'blkid' do you see /dev/sdb2? [00:17] It has Windows 2000 if that's any help... [00:17] On the hard drive [00:17] oh, so it's supposedly ntfs drive? [00:17] Yup [00:17] !ntfs [00:17] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [00:18] that's a more thorough howto [00:20] Okay [00:20] Found an NTFS config tool in Add/Remove [00:20] Does that work? [00:21] In all honest truth I quickly skimmed the page [00:21] In a bit of a hurry.... [00:22] i don't know, i have almost no experiences on ntfs+linux [00:22] Okay [00:22] Well I'm going to try it now [00:22] okay [00:23] Hmmm [00:23] How to run it now [00:23] Not showing up in menu [00:23] Alt+f2 [00:23] hmm [00:23] What's the command though... [00:23] ntfs-config? [00:23] Okay [00:24] I'll try [00:24] i don't know, just guessing [00:24] Uhm [00:24] So [00:24] It would be 'run ntfs-config'? [00:24] no [00:24] just 'ntfs-config [00:24] ' [00:24] Okay [00:25] Error: This programm need to be run as root [00:25] okay, then 'gksudo ntfs-config' [00:25] Okay [00:25] Yup that worked [00:26] Dev/sdb1 [00:26] Just a sec [00:28] Okay, I did blkid it says /dev/sdb1: UUID= "3618B33D18B2FAC7" TYPE="ntfs" [00:28] Is that the one? I'm guessing it is... [00:28] yes, that's it [00:28] Okay [00:28] So Click add then, taking a guess :P [00:28] heh [00:29] Mount Point? [00:29] What is that? [00:29] Add a name for Mount Point [00:29] that's a directory [00:29] What should I name it then? [00:29] eg. /media/windows [00:29] Just leave it [00:29] Okay [00:29] So like /media/8.2GB [00:29] Right? [00:29] Yes I know, it's small [00:29] :) [00:30] that's okay as well, i suppose. i'm not sure about the . though [00:30] Okay [00:30] Then /media/windows it is [00:30] Heh :P [00:30] you can always change that [00:30] Right [00:30] Because it's a file directory? [00:30] Ph [00:31] Oh* [00:31] You must choose a name, not a directory [00:31] Okay [00:31] Windows it is [00:31] :] [00:31] I got one [00:31] IBM HD [00:31] There. I'm so smart xP [00:32] There we go /media/IBM HD [00:32] Hmmm. Enable write support for external device? [00:32] well, if you want to write to it.. [00:32] Enable wrote support for internal device is already checks [00:33] Checked* [00:33] There's two options. Write support for internal and write support for external [00:33] hmm [00:33] Check both just in case? [00:33] then use internal [00:33] i think :) [00:33] Okay [00:33] you can also change that later [00:33] I can always remount [00:33] Yup [00:34] It's all there [00:34] Thank you so much for your help :D [00:34] no problem [00:34] have fun with xubuntu :) [00:34] :) [00:35] I'll come back here if I run into any dilemas [00:35] yeah [00:35] :). Hopefully I'll be a Xubuntu guru one day :P [03:24] hey there, I'm using xubuntu 9.04 but now I can't delete files, can someone help? === techie__ is now known as Techie [05:20] are there any browsers that don't rape my cpu? I'm running a 0.85 GHz PIII [05:25] 850mhz should be more than enough for a standard browser [05:26] you would think so... firefox rapes my cpu and chrome rapes my memory (371MiB) [05:30] have you tried opera? [05:30] thats supposedly lightwieght [05:31] I'm about to install epiphany-browser, do you think opera would be faster? [05:32] im not really sure ive never used either of them, im just going by what ive heard [05:35] fair enough, I'm gonna try epiphany then try opera if I have any problems [05:35] is xubuntu the lightest version of ubuntu? [05:37] I think Puppy may be one of the lightest... [05:37] Correct me [06:09] puppy is a version of ubuntu? [06:21] not as far as i know [06:22] it may is based on that but it isn't version of it [06:22] right [06:32] Sysi, just a heads up puppy is rpm based, not debian [06:32] well, i don't know much about it [06:40] techie: are using web janitor...is that xubu? [06:43] i got in 9.04 seems like ccleaner or something [06:46] techie: are you using web janitor? [06:57] web janitor? [07:42] hi all. I think I have a problem with mounted drives and fstab file. anyone here able to help? [07:46] ok. maybe later then. cu [10:20] Hi everyone :) [10:21] I just burned my first CD ... and it seems to not go past the "Loading...boot:" stage [10:21] I tried burning the CD a 2nd time at a slower rate, that didn't help. [10:21] I checked the md5sum , its ok [10:21] I'm using VIA EPIA M9000 board... [10:21] Could this be a problem? [10:21] Ubuntu's netinstall cd that I burned worked fine... [10:27] ey can someone please help me [10:28] ? [10:30] eXoSypher, not without knowing if we are able to answer it, so ask your question and someone might help :) [10:31] ok well i dug up this old pentium2, set bios settings to default and i installed xubuntu, then reboot i choose xubuntu generic from startup, and now im sitting at 'matt@ubuntu:-$ [10:32] but i wanna be at the desktop/explorer [10:48] O.o [10:50] any messages explaining what went wrong? [10:51] well nothing went wrong, i dont know what to do from here on [10:58] eXoSypher: it did if you didn't get a desktop [10:58] uhm soz i dont really know. awe [10:58] bye* [13:47] Good morrow [13:56] good afternoon [13:56] good moron [13:57] wait what-- [13:57] Sysi: nice to meet you [13:57] yup, but g2g [13:57] mate remowes [13:58] lol, Sysi [14:40] When i connect usb, where can i see USB mounted icon etC? [14:43] In your file manager, Thunar, as well as the "Places" tray. There are several other options too. [14:43] You can have it appear on your desktop. [14:43] Etc. [14:43] from where what is thunar [14:44] opened home, now where? [14:45] I do not see it any where, it was fine in ubuntu [15:01] ... [15:11] Well, likemindead, at least you tried. [15:12] No one has patience in IRC. :-\ [17:50] * AngryGnome yawns [18:35] 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. [18:37] robert0, latest == jaunty (9.04) or karmic (9.10)? [18:40] Smells of mis-owned ~ files [18:42] knome: jaunty 9.04 [18:43] robert0, what did you do before this started to happen? [18:43] nothing that i know of [18:43] as genii said, it might be files in your home which have wrong permissions === feld2 is now known as Feldegast [18:46] Hello do anyone knows how to do the apt-cache bigger? [18:47] bittin`: Can you explain better the problem? [18:54] ~/.. 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? [18:55] robert0: .. should be owned by root [18:55] robert0: do you have free disk space in home? [18:56] * Pres-Gas wonders if anything is showing up in robert0's logs...maybe from "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" specifically? [18:56] robert0: Did you do something like: ls -lah /home/yourusername ? Because a lot of the dotfiles are in there [18:59] . /home is 55% used. i manually ls -al every dir... does -h show more info? [18:59] Yes, the hidden files [19:00] "dotfiles" [19:01] i see those with ls -al . -lah looks better though :D [19:03] robert0: So as far as you can tell, everything recursively in /home/yourname belongs to yourname:yourname ? [19:03] yes [19:03] got it to work now :) [19:06] robert0: Perhaps install pastebinit and then show us contents of the /var/log/Xorg.0.log [19:11] i'm not sure how to get the machine on the network. it has a wireless nic. i use the gui network manager :-/ [19:18] Alternately, you could stick stuff onto a usb stick, shuffle it to the box you're on, then use the pastebin [19:27] 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 [19:28] Anything notable in the auth.log ? [19:29] Or possibly gdm.log seeing as how currently it keeps going back to login screen [19:32] checking it out right now. [19:38] from /var/log/auth.log gdm[11453]: pam_nolgin(gdm:auth): cannot determine username [19:39] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gdm-list/2009-May/msg00017.html seems to have the same problem but no fix [21:21] If I download a video in .flv form, how to I get it to play in a DVD player? [21:21] Convert it first? If so, to what format? [21:31] .vob [21:50] Convert the .flv to .vob & then burn it to DVD, genii? [21:58] likemindead: Basically, yes. You may want to look into the app DeVeDe as well [21:58] !info devede [21:58] 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 [21:59] It can do stuff like avi/wmv->dvd layouts. Not sure about straight flv though [22:03] Hello guys, umm, I have a question...about installing Xubuntu [22:03] !ask | Ido_ [22:03] 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. :-) [22:04] It's like forcing me to put a password, is it possible to cancel it after the OS is installed? [22:04] 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] i'd suggest to not leave the password empty. you can choose if the user is loggeed in automatically [22:05] but you need the password for administrating your system, like installing updates [22:06] 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? [22:07] do you mean if other computers can access your computer without password? [22:07] Yeah [22:07] what kind of networking setup do you have in mind? [22:07] you shouldn't really give your admin password to anybody [22:08] 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] That run WinXP [22:08] Which means...regular network, with WinXP's [22:08] right. [22:08] !sambe [22:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about sambe [22:08] d'oh :) [22:08] !samba [22:08] 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. [22:10] Oh, thought it was automatically connect-able...anyways, my purposes won't be limited to a password with this Samba? [22:10] Sorry for the annoying questions btw .-. [22:10] actually, i'm not sure [22:10] i have used samba very little [22:10] what files do you mean to share? [22:11] would the winxp machine need to write there or read only? [22:11] Probably movies mainly [22:11] Read only I guess [22:12] i'm not really the expert on samba, but you might be able to do it without password. [22:12] you might ask #ubuntu for the samba configuration as it's not xubuntu-specific. [22:13] Kay...well bad case, it's like the easiest password, but I hoped to avoid the "trouble" [22:14] 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] Thanks a lot, i'm going to my other computer to complete the installation XD [22:14] no problem [22:14] have fun with xubuntu [22:33] just installed xubuntu 9 64 bit few minutes ago,this is great and it was ultimately fast [22:34] twocarlo, great to hear. the version number is probably 9.04 though :) (9 for 2009, 04 for april) [22:37] knome:yeah you 're right to be exact [22:39] in a month we will be releasing 9.10 [22:48] oh ic [22:49] well actually less than a month [22:57] up to what screen resolution can it support i got 1366x960 but im only using 1024x760 [22:59] my resolution is 3840x1200 [23:00] knome:are you using dual s-dvi [23:00] twocarlo, yep [23:06] that was overkill for a desktop, however still provides infinite excitement [23:08] umm, not really [23:08] (for both) [23:09] when i work i really need all the space [23:11] ic then
