Sertseanyone know how to create an open in root custom action ?00:40
likemindeadIn *buntu, you need to use sudo to gain root access, Sertse.00:42
likemindead!sudo00:42
ubottusudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE)00:42

MrKassnerI'm kinda new to IRC so I don't really know what I'm doing. Lol. But is anyone here? As far as I know I'm in the Xubuntu channel.10:14
knomeMrKassner, yes.10:15
MrKassnerAh okay, been awhile since I was on IRC, and this program is diffrent then the last one I used so I'm having to learn allover again. Kinda quiet in here. I was hoping to find someone here to help me with a problem on Xubuntu.10:16
ablomenMrKassner, if you ask your question someone might be able to help :)10:17
MrKassnerWell, it seems that my one problem I'm having no one can answer, very long story short I have a laptop that I'm using for a network bridge and nothing else on Windows 7, only problem is the laptop would overheat/freeze after a few days if not restarted, so I wanted to try making a network bridge on Xubuntu, and after trying for over a week with forums and looking on Google, still no one can tell me how to make a simple network10:19
knomeMrKassner, you mean sharing network from the xubuntu pc?10:20
MrKassnerI've tried Firestarter firewall, it woulden't work, installed bridge-utils but no one could tell me how to use it, and a bunch of other stuff, but no luck.10:20
MrKassnerYes.10:20
MrKassnerI'm not a complete noob with Linux, but I am still rather new.10:21
knomeMrKassner, at least there is this one thread where this is solved: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370&highlight=share+internet10:21
MrKassnerThank you for the link, I will go try this real quick, which will take me offline for a lil, when I get back I'll tell you how it went. Thanks again10:25

SidGBFhi all13:02
SidGBFDoes eeeXubuntu still exists?13:04
knomeSidGBF, install xubuntu and use the array.org kernel == eeexubuntu13:06
SidGBFknome: See... I don't have any idea about what are you talking.13:08
knomeSidGBF, i don't know if the literal "eeexubuntu" still exists, but if you install the default xubuntu and use the array.org kernel repository (see http://array.org/ubuntu/), it is practically the same as the literal "eeexubuntu"13:09
SidGBFWhat I was looking for was a xfce os, but I want to know if that netbook launcher works with it13:10
knomeSidGBF, "netbook launcher" == ?13:11
SidGBFhttp://users.jyu.fi/~esheospo/random/netbook_launcher_problem.png13:11
knomeSidGBF, there is always the ubuntu netbook remix.13:12
knomeSidGBF, also i suppose the same packages that are used in UNR will work with xubuntu13:12
knomeSidGBF, i'm not sure though.13:12
pingo-hi17:19
Pres-GasHey there pingo-17:20
pingo-im with a problem to mount .iso images.17:20
pingo-i get a error 'wrong fs type ,,, '17:20
pingo-im using Gmount-iso17:21
pingo-I tried to use gisomount17:21
pingo-it's says that isnt a .iso file17:22
pingo-can you help me?17:23
Pres-GasIs it one of the *ubu isos?17:24
Pres-Gaspingo-, have you done an md5sum on it to make sure it is okay?17:26
pingo-yes17:26
pingo-this .iso17:26
* genii thinks about udf vs iso966017:27
pingo-this file I mean, I use it in windows, no problems.17:27
Pres-GasWhat version of *ubu are you running, pingo-?17:28
pingo-8.0417:29
Pres-Gaspingo-, can you mount it with something like (in the terminal) "mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/file.iso /path/to/mountpoint"?17:35
Pres-GasPut sudo in front of that17:35
pingo-2 secs.17:36
Pres-GasIf that does not work...see if "sudo mount -o loop -t udf /path/to/file.iso /path/to/mountpoint".17:36
pingo-yup, 'mount -o loop -t udf /path....' worked!!!17:39
pingo-thanks!!17:39
pingo-:)17:39
pingo-:)17:39
Pres-GasOkay...like genii implied udf was better, but your utility does not support it17:39
Pres-Gaspingo-, you may also want to look into fuse and see what is available with iso files there17:40
Pres-Gas!fuse17:40
ubottuFUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE.  Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here:  http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems17:40
