| homebrewcider | Hi there, can someone help, I'm using Xubuntu 9.04. The computer is dual boot, with winblows on another drive. My clock in Xubuntu is always wrong. It is set up for the correct time zone, and to I've set it up to check internet servers, and adjusted it manually. In "/etc/default/rcS" I've set the "UTC" option to "yes", and "no", but it keeps being wrong on reboot. What can I do? | 01:26 |

| BTREE | BAN ME | 02:32 |
| FiReSTaRT | hey guys, just a couple of quick ones... can xubuntu run comfortably on a machine with only 256MB of ram and could you recommend a light-weight browser that'll still do java and flash without buggin'? | 02:40 |

| faLUCE | hi. how can I add a keyboard shortcut which switches to desktop N to desktop N+1 ? | 10:51 |
| faLUCE | hi. how can I add a keyboard shortcut which switches from current workspace to the next workspace ? | 10:52 |
| Sysi | ctrl + alt + ->/<-(arrows) | 10:53 |
| Sysi | in keyboard settings is options i guess | 10:54 |
| faLUCE | Sysi: yes, but it doesn't allow me to modify it | 10:55 |
| Sysi | create new? | 10:56 |
| faLUCE | I don't see this option Sysi | 10:56 |
| Sysi | i have "add" there | 10:57 |
| faLUCE | I only have "clear" and "reset to defaults" | 10:58 |
| faLUCE | Sysi: xubuntu version: 9.04 | 11:00 |
| Sysi | hmm, you should have same | 11:00 |
| faLUCE | I go into "settings->window manager" | 11:01 |
| Sysi | double click | 11:03 |
| faLUCE | Sysi: thanks, solved. but this is a bug: I don't see nothing wich shows me that I can press the desired key | 11:04 |
| faLUCE | the popup which appears doesn't suggest anything in that sense | 11:04 |

| Ido_ | Hey guys, umm, I can't find the Terminal, neither in Accessories, or in Application Finder. Help please. | 13:09 |
| Ido_ | I need it to install Samba btw. | 13:09 |
| SiDi | Ido_: hi, try to do alt+F2 and launch "xfce4-terminal" | 13:11 |
| Ido_ | Thanks :D | 13:12 |
| SiDi | can you do a quick ls .local/share/applications/ please ? | 13:12 |
| SiDi | i'm curious about why it disappeared | 13:12 |
| Ido_ | Tried to write it in the terminal, it didn't really load anything, sorry if i'm doing it wrong, i'm very new to Linux | 13:14 |
| Ido_ | Anyways, I also had a shortcut of the Recycle Bin and the HD when I first loaded Xubuntu, then when I restarted the comp it disappeared | 13:15 |
| Ido_ | I wonder why it happened...oh I also installed all the updates that were available | 13:15 |
| Ido_ | Also, I installed a language pack when I chose my language in the installation and it probably renamed everything...I think I should reinstall | 13:16 |
| Pres-Gas | Okay, so I have a Latitude 2100 with an 80 gig spindle drive...ready to install the betas of Xubu, Ubu/Moblin, and Ubu NBR! :P | 13:41 |
| Pres-Gas | Good way to get my hands dirty with grub2 as well. | 13:42 |
| SiDi | I hope Ido_ won't reinstall | 13:44 |
| SiDi | tell him not to if he joins again... his problems are quite easy to fix :/ | 13:44 |
| Pres-Gas | What is up, SiDi? | 13:50 |
| * Pres-Gas goes to the logs.... | 13:51 | |
| Pres-Gas | hmmmm...no logs for that time...how often does ubuntulog dump that stuff? | 13:54 |

| Ido_ | Hi, I tried reinstalling Xubuntu with a disc that worked previously and when I load the system it says "GRUB loading, please wait..." and then "Error 18" | 16:13 |
| Ido_ | Help please? | 16:14 |
| SiDi | Ido_: there was no reason to reinstall for the problems you had :( | 16:15 |
| SiDi | The error 18 usually comes from your BIOS not recognising your HDD because of large size partitions | 16:15 |
| Ido_ | I know, I just wanted to retry it all because I started off really unorganized | 16:16 |
| SiDi | you should boot to your BIOS and check for an option letting you set your HDD from normal/auto to large | 16:16 |
| SiDi | did you create larger partitions than the previous time, by the way ? | 16:16 |
| Ido_ | Not as far as | 16:16 |
| Ido_ | I know | 16:16 |
| Ido_ | Last time I formatted a Windows partition, now it was like, formatting a Xubuntu partition | 16:16 |
| Ido_ | Maybe something wrong happened | 16:17 |
| Ido_ | I'd check the bios, and if it won't work, this computer has 2 hard disks, one is 160GB but has a lot of problems, another is 60GB | 16:17 |
| Ido_ | So i'd install on the 60GB | 16:17 |
| Ido_ | Well thank you... | 16:17 |
| Ido_ | Hello people, I have no clue on how to configure Samba and connect my Xubuntu to my home's Windows network. Connecting to that network is the main purpose of that computer. Help please? | 18:18 |
| TheSheep | !samba | 18:21 |
| 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. | 18:21 |

| hume | hi... I run ubuntu jaunty, switching between gnome and xfce4. now I cannot change wallpaper in xfce4 - any ideas on what might be wrong or how to solve it? | 18:57 |
| Pres-Gas | Okay, so the window manager on the beta Xubuntu live CD has no window manager? | 19:00 |
| likemindead | ...? | 19:05 |
| likemindead | That's doesn't sound good. | 19:05 |
| Pres-Gas | I am getting the torrent this time | 19:06 |
| likemindead | hume, can you switch it at all? Or does it mimic the GNOME wallpaper? | 19:06 |
| hume | likemindead, I can choose wallpaper in the settings, but nothing happens | 19:07 |
| hume | likemindead, solved now.... xfdesktop had crashed | 19:07 |
| hume | thx | 19:07 |
| likemindead | Ah... ;-) | 19:07 |
| thht | hello @ all. probably offtopic: i am currently testing the upcoming xubuntu release and i experience a major showstopper with the xubuntu - livecd | 19:25 |
| thht | i copied the "livecd" to an usb-stick and have tested it on my machine as well as on a virtual machine(virtualbox) | 19:26 |
| thht | in both test scenarios, the system boots as expected, however, in the GUI, *ALL* windows have no window decoration, so the windows cannot be moved or closed | 19:27 |
| thht | please note, this error occurs both booting directly from the host and booting inside a virtualbox | 19:28 |

| Pres-Gas | thht, I just ran into the same thing...but downloaded the torrent instead and got windows | 19:35 |
| Pres-Gas | thht, how did you get the iso? | 19:35 |
| Pres-Gas | I think someone needs to check out the regular .iso file | 19:36 |
| thht | Pres-Gas: ditto, i downloaded the torrent (hey , were you blocking the traffic ?? ;-) and i first thought it was my machines fault, but it wasnt :( | 19:36 |
| Pres-Gas | LOL, thht, actually I was busy seeding up until about 10 min ago...so someone else must be blocking the tubes. | 19:37 |
| Pres-Gas | S?o, the torrent works for you, thht | 19:37 |
| thht | Pres-Gas: anyhow, i like the look and polish of the new release. i downloaded xubuntu alpha earlier in september, put it in virtualbox and everything runs fine(with latest updates applied) | 19:38 |
| Pres-Gas | But, are you confirming that the torrent works fine? | 19:39 |
| thht | Pres-Gas: well i just started seeding again, seems to be ok now ;-) | 19:40 |
| Pres-Gas | Good, I am installing now that I have window frames on the live cd...threw away the other cd I burnt | 19:41 |
| thht | moving windows and so on is ok again? | 19:42 |
| Pres-Gas | Yes | 19:43 |

| Pres-Gas | How so, thht? I said it works from the torrent file... | 19:45 |
| thht | Pres-Gas: not for me. Or is this an updated torrent you have? | 19:46 |
| Pres-Gas | I got mine at 2:04p EST | 19:47 |
| thht | thats my hash: 3fd5a73aac5b67b1deefa1429d6fc4507b4bf35e | 19:48 |
| thht | hi Besogon | 19:49 |
| Pres-Gas | I just did an md5sum on the resultant iso and it matches, so the torrent should be okay now. | 19:55 |
| thht | Pres-Gas: well, i just keep it for know. i will browse the bug-list and see if i can file a report, later. | 19:56 |

| Laibsch | but maybe I just need to learn | 21:27 |
| TheSheep | xfce's settings are pretty scattered | 21:27 |
| TheSheep | you configure keyboard shortcuts in two places too | 21:28 |
| TheSheep | I suppose that's because they want to keep the components separate | 21:28 |
