[00:01] <knome> MD-11, applications -> settings -> appearance -> fonts
[00:01] <MD-11> i dont have appearece under my application -> settings
[00:01] <MD-11> appearance
[00:01] <knome> MD-11, which xubuntu version?
[00:01] <MD-11> wait
[00:02] <MD-11> 7
[00:02] <knome> 7.what?
[00:02] <MD-11> i just remember that was 7 , but which command can i type to figure it out exactly?!
[00:03] <knome> "lsb_release -a"
[00:05] <MD-11> sorry i really cant read.....but sorry it is 8 something!
[00:06] <MD-11> it is impossible to read any stuff there
[00:07] <MD-11> but i am sure that appereance is not under application -> settings
[00:15] <MD-11> thanks knome.... i found the font size...but nothing changed!!! i might forget about xubuntu and go back to windows server!
[00:15] <knome> MD-11, why did you install server and then xubuntu?
[00:16] <MD-11> i was going first to use just the server edition
[00:16] <MD-11> however it makes life difficult without a GUI
[00:16] <knome> MD-11, have you tried the live cd?
[00:16] <MD-11> and i decided for xubuntu because that is the lighter interface!
[00:16] <MD-11> no!
[00:17] <knome> please calm down
[00:43] <MD-11> knome, what is exactly the xorg.conf file...i mean it is only used by xfce or by gnome too?!
[00:44] <MD-11> sorry if this is a very newbie question
[00:44] <knome> MD-11, it's used by X, and everything graphical runs on top of X
[00:45] <MD-11> ok thanks...
[00:45] <MD-11> i oculd revert the situation by starting a gnome session...do you know any guide where i can correctly configure both video driver and monitor?
[00:46] <knome> !graphics
[00:46] <knome> !xorg
[01:05] <MD-11> thanks
[01:06] <MD-11> how can i update my video card driver, i have a ati i128 rage....that is a old card, and the solution that i saw so far for these cards dont include this one
[03:34] <numberjacks> hello. im trying to save x configurations and get this error message " Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'! " how to fix it? thank you.

[05:16] <gRnt> Hi all I have been trying to mount a windows shared folder I have to my xubuntu desktop install so I can stream media over to my laptop but I can't seem to get it to work from any of the tutorials, I currently have samba and smfbs installed :s
[05:20] <likemindead> !ntfs
[05:20] <likemindead> That help, gRnt?
[05:22] <gRnt> likemindead: ill try that again though it confused me initially, when I try and connect through the GUI under System-> Remote Fileshares. I put in the windows name of my PC, and the name of the shared folder, then hit next and it keeps prompting for a username and password even though I don't have paswords set for the share...
[05:23] <likemindead> That's all I've got, gRnt. Sorry. I haven't used Windows in years....
[05:25] <gRnt> likemindead: must be a windows thing, if I share my home directory on my laptop windows sees it....hrrrm......frustration ensues :D
[05:26] <likemindead> Stick with it! You'll persevere. I'm sure it's something small.
[05:26] <gRnt> likemindead: yep as soon as I put a password on my account it worked...pitty I don't need one, might make another username with a password for it then so I can log into this without it...siigh haha
[07:14] <gRnt> Hi all I am trying to use Gigolo or pyneighbourhood to access some windows shares. Gigolo seems to see my shares but won't open them and pyneighbourhood seems to fail at scaning the workgroup my windows machines  are on. Where can i go from here?
[07:15] <gRnt> Oh just fyi there are nothing wrong  with my windows shares been acessing them for ages

[15:01] <lilyshu> hi, i have a problem when i try to install adobe air app Tweetdeck ( http://tweetdeck.com ) it was install successfully but when the program starts i get an error msg like " your computer is in a very number computer that cannot run adobe air well ". im on xubuntu karmic. thanks
[15:02] <vinnl> Hmm? Can you post original error message? That sentence doesn't really make sense
[15:03] <lilyshu> hi, i have a problem when i try to install adobe air app Tweetdeck ( http://tweetdeck.com ) it was install successfully but when the program starts i get an error msg like " your computer is in a very number computer that cannot run adobe air well ". im on xubuntu karmic. thanks
[15:08] <lilyshu> vinnl : it looks like your computer is one of a very small number of computers that don't play well with adobe AIR, we're actively working with Adobe on this.
[15:09] <vinnl> lilyshu, ah. That sounds like you're very unlucky - a problem they know of that prevents it from working on your computer. You can only hope that they fix it soon :(
[15:09] <vinnl> Perhaps you can contact the Tweetdeck developers and see whether they already have a fix in, I don't know, an unreleased version or something. Perhaps they can give you that to use
[15:11] <lilyshu> vinnl : yeah maybe, i can only run this app with ubuntu, kubuntu & xubuntu get that error msg. but right now im on xubuntu ;)
[15:11] <vinnl> Ah, hmm, that's an odd error :S
[15:12] <lilyshu> vinnl : yes, unsatisfied dependencies?
[15:13] <vinnl> lilyshu, have you installed Xubuntu on top of Ubuntu or along with it?
[15:13] <lilyshu> vinnl : its clean install :)
[15:15] <vinnl> Right. Then indeed it's probably missing some package, but that's odd because then Tweetdeck could tell you what you should install. I'd have expected a hardware-related issue or something
[15:16] <lilyshu> just like you said " im unlucky " :p
[15:16] <vinnl> yeah I guess so :P
[15:18] <lilyshu> vinnl : what twitter client you recommend? i dont really like gwibber. its buggy :(
[15:20] <vinnl> Hmm... I liked Gwibber but indeed the bugs were annoying. I now post through GNOME Do
[15:20] <vinnl> Not sure if you want to use that
[15:22] <lilyshu> never tried gnome do before but i'll give it a shot.
[15:52] <Carlo73TB> hi
[16:15] <lilyshu> hi
[16:43] <subspider> i'm having a problem with my sound card
[16:43] <subspider> i don't know why
[16:43] <subspider> the sound is not good is like breaking
[16:43] <subspider> do you guys now why
[16:43] <subspider> ??
[16:44] <subspider> hey Sysi
[16:44] <subspider> can you help me
[16:45] <vinnl> subspider, you need to be more specific. How exactly is it not working? Can't you hear anything, is it distorted, ...?
[16:45] <subspider> distorced like little breaks
[16:46] <vinnl> How many applications do you have open? Is your computer slow?
[16:46] <subspider> no it's good i can have loke 3 4 applaications
[16:46] <subspider> it satrated doing these alone
[16:46] <vinnl> Do you know if you have installed PulseAudio?
[16:47] <subspider> yeap i do
[16:48] <vinnl> Perhaps the issue is over there
[16:48] <vinnl> !sound
[16:48] <vinnl> subspider, check that page, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[16:56] <ldez> Upon booting up my Xubuntu machine this morning, my xfce panel is all borked. Everything has been moved to the left, my launchers for things like Firefox, Thunderbird have been replaced by generic icons who's tool tip says "New Item". The Applications menu has a different icon and says "Xfce Menu" instead of Applications, the text "Places" has just collapsed in to an icon.. How can I reset all this to normal?
[16:56] <subspider> done
[16:57] <vinnl> ldez, ouch. I'm afraid you'll have to reconfigure everything manually :(
[16:57] <subspider> my sound is working great :D thnks vinnl
[16:58] <vinnl> subspider, good to hear :)
[16:58] <subspider> i just had to unistall and reinstall alsa-utils
[16:58] <ldez> My dad said he didn't download any updates on here yesterday.. Everything was fine before I shut it down.. What would cause this all to go nuts? None of the items on the panel can be moved, either.. So I don't know how I can manually set everything back to proper.
[16:58] <vinnl> Nice
[16:59] <vinnl> Not sure what happened, I've had it happen to me once or twice, I believe that had to do with my hard drive being full
[16:59] <subspider> ledz did you restart you pc again??
[16:59] <vinnl> You should be able to move them by right-clicking and selecting Move
[16:59] <vinnl> You could also delete the panel and add a new, clean one
[16:59] <ldez> I rebooted it once after attempting to delete ~/.cache/sessions
[16:59] <subspider> yea
[16:59] <subspider> i did that
[16:59] <ldez> And "Moving" things doesn't work.. nothing responds.
[17:00] <vinnl> Ow, hmm :S
[17:00] <vinnl> Perhaps you could give it a try in #xfce
[17:00] <subspider> ok try these
[17:00] <ldez> And yeah, it seems like my /home partition is full.. good call vinnl.
[17:00] <vinnl> :)
[17:01] <subspider> hm
[17:01] <subspider> so is that
[17:01] <subspider> i didn't know
[17:01] <subspider> i had the same problem
[17:16] <Morgan1> hello
[17:16] <vinnl> !hi | Morgan1
[17:17] <Morgan1> hey
[17:18] <Error> i was here again some time ago. i did remove some libs from my system, so when i logged in i had no gui only a console. now i run (sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop), to get all missing dependancies but still when kubuntu loads i only get a konsole (where i enter credentials). what can i do?
[17:18] <Morgan1> i came here looking for a bit of help with ubuntu,
[17:18] <vinnl> Error, this is a Xubuntu channel, you're probably looking for #kubuntu
[17:19] <Morgan1> lol opps sorry :-[
[17:19] <vinnl> Morgan1, heh, and you're looking for #ubuntu i suppose :)
[17:20] <Morgan1> lol yeah thanks
[17:29] <ldez> So vinnl.. you said you had something similar to this happen before.. I'm thinking maybe does xfce recognize that a /home partition is full and move some config files on to an available partition? Because i've tried deleting my .config and .cache but it keeps redrawing the same broken panel.. so I'm thinking maybe its being stored else where also?
[17:30] <xylox> hi, i want to share file using samba, when i connect from win it says the shared folder is not accessible, because i don't have the permissions, any suggestions please
[17:31] <xylox> i tried to modify permissions with thunar but when i modify anything it just reverse without applying the changes
[17:31] <vinnl> ldez, I don't think so... Have you logged out and back in after you deleted those folders? Also, which version of Xubuntu are you using?
[17:31] <ldez> 9.10, and yes.
[17:31] <xylox> i'm using xubuntu 8.04
[17:31] <vinnl> xylox, what steps have you taken to share the folder?
[17:32] <ldez> xylox: you might need to change permissions as root? if you are just an unpriveleged user, the changes might not take.
[17:32] <vinnl> Oh wait, the panel doesn't yet store its configuration in xfconf I suppose
[17:32] <xylox> vinnl, in the share folders wizard, add the folder i wanted to share
[17:32] <vinnl> Hmm :S
[17:33] <xylox> vinnl, then iadded smb user with smbpasswd
[17:34] <xylox> ldez, im opening thunar as root and then click properties on the folder, that should open as root right?
[17:34] <ldez> Aye
[17:35] <xylox> ldez, dont know why it keeps reversing changes
[17:35] <ldez> Reversing changes seems to be in the air today.. grrrr xfce..
[17:37] <psicobra> hi all i have just done a fresh install of 9.10 but the max resolution i can get is 800x600 i have an intel graphics card running on a 32" lcd TV max res 1360x768
[17:37] <vinnl> !resolution
[17:37] <vinnl> psicobra, try checking https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[17:38] <psicobra> thanks vinnl i looked there already but to be honest i didn't really understand what it was trying to tell me
[17:39] <vinnl> psicobra, what part didn't you get?
[17:39] <psicobra> i did the xrandr command witch gave me
[17:39] <psicobra> Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 800 x 600, maximum 2048 x 2048
[17:39] <psicobra> VGA1 connected 800x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
[17:39] <psicobra>    800x600        60.3*
[17:39] <psicobra>    640x480        59.9
[17:40] <psicobra> so i tried xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 and nothing happened
[17:40] <vinnl> psicobra, did you prefix it with "sudo"?
[17:40] <psicobra> no
[17:41] <vinnl> Perhaps you could try that
[17:41] <psicobra> still nothing
[17:41] <vinnl> Hmm :S
[17:42] <psicobra> i looked at this xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600
[17:42] <psicobra> i am not using s-video
[17:42] <vinnl> Well, I don't really understand that page either. I'd wait around here for a bit until someone reads this who does
[17:42] <psicobra> it is vga
[17:42] <psicobra> so how would i change it
[17:46] <Err0r> hi is there a repair function in ubuntu livecd? or whats the command to install nvidia driver or even the generic driver for gpu via terminal?
[17:46] <Err0r> xubuntu i mean
[17:48] <vinnl> What kind of repair function?
[17:48] <vinnl> And you can install things using "sudo apt-get install <packagename>"
[17:50] <Err0r> vinnl : i kinda damaged my nvidia driver
[17:50] <Err0r> and i want to switch to generic
[17:50] <Err0r> also i would like a check of my system so see if any default libs are missing
[17:50] <Err0r> is any such command?
[17:50] <Err0r> (compared i mean to the installation)
[17:50] <vinnl> If you run "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" from the command line then you should have everything that's required
[17:51] <Err0r> ok
[17:51] <Err0r> cool
[17:51] <Err0r> how do i remove my nvidia proprietary drivers
[17:51] <Err0r> in general
[17:52] <Err0r> so i can switch back to the generic one?
[17:54] <vinnl> If you know the package names you can remove and install them with apt-get
[17:56] <Err0r> vinnl : so i must delete nvidia
[17:56] <Err0r> packages
[17:57] <vinnl> Err0r, and install the generic ones
[17:57] <vinnl> You can search which you need at packages.ubuntu.com
[18:02] <ldez> psicobra: Try looking in your /boot/grub/menu.lst and find the line that corresponds to the operating system you boot from... Check and see if it has a "vga=" parameter in it
[18:02] <ldez> There should be a table or something I believe in menu.lst that can tell you a code to put after vga= to correspond to a given resolution
[18:02] <ldez> Maybe that could kick it out of S-Video "mode" and in to realizing it should be vga
[18:23] <Err0r> does anyone know how can i remove by konsole the nvidia drivers i got from their site (it was a bin i installed with sh command)
[18:25] <Lazure> hello, i am running xubuntu as a guest in virtualbox. i created a secondary .vdi harddisk file and formatted it with GParted to ext4. i did sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /media/datadisk to mount it.
[18:26] <Lazure> however, it refuses to let me drag any files to it or save to it
[18:26] <Lazure> what do i have to do to enable write capabilities to a new drive like that?
[18:36] <slow-motion> hi
[18:54] <Err0r> IS THERE A WAY TO GO BACK TO MY DEFAULT GENERIC GPU DRIVER?
[19:39] <dbdii407> Guys. I'm having a problem with xUbuntu 9.10. The mouse will stop clicking objects on the desktop after a while.
[19:45] <valdu55> Hello. I want edit my menu
[19:45] <valdu55> "Start" menu
[19:45] <vinnl> valdu55, Xubuntu 9.04 or higher?
[19:46] <valdu55> file:///etc/xdg/xubuntu/menus/xfce-applications.menu , i edited this file and now i see Double Help and i want not see "About"
[19:46] <valdu55> Karmic
[19:47] <valdu55> Other items are OK.
[19:47] <vinnl> valdu55, http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu
[19:51] <valdu55> oh nice.
[19:52] <vinnl> Would be even nicer if you could do it graphically ;-) But that's coming :)
[20:00] <valdu55> :) Edit files, its no problem
[20:03] <valdu55> Need just edit files in usr/share/applications/ and then is all OK
[20:06] <valdu55> OK thamks
[20:06] <valdu55> BB i go sleep
[20:06] <valdu55> Good night
[20:23] <jarbas> hi. I'm sure this is a beginner question (because I am one) but I got confused while reading some articles.
[20:23] <jarbas> I've mounted a fat32 partition /dev/sda3 ,  to store Virtual box files and other data,
[20:24] <jarbas> dev/sda3            3188        4864    13470502+   b  W95 FAT32
[20:24] <jarbas> with command:
[20:24] <jarbas> # sudo mount -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000 /dev/sda3 /media/z
[20:24] <jarbas> How can I have that partition to mount automatically on boot and give me rights to use it?
[20:24] <vinnl> !fstab
[20:25] <vinnl> jarbas, see above :)
[20:26] <jarbas> vinnl, what should I do? (regarding the above)
[20:27] <vinnl> jarbas, read those websites :)
[20:27] <jarbas> well, I did it. That's why I came here as a last resort to clarify my doubts
[20:27] <aeonoris> I'm attempting to enable graphics acceleration on my netbook, but I can't find the xorg.conf file (normally in /etc/X11/).  I am running Karmic.
[20:28] <vinnl> aeonoris, it's not really used anymore, Xorg now autoconfigures, or something.
[20:28] <vinnl> jarbas, oh, then someone more knowledgeable of /etc/fstab should drop by
[20:29] <aeonoris> vinnl, so there's no way to edit what is enabled and what isn't?
[20:29] <jarbas> vinnl, tks. ( on the page: "A range of free support options are also available from the Ubuntu Community, including forums, IRC channels and mailing lists." )
[20:31] <vinnl> aeonoris, yes, only if you have a guide that uses that file it might need to be updated, or something. I'm not exactly sure. Wait, perhaps ubottu knows
[20:31] <vinnl> !xorg.conf
[20:31] <vinnl> Hmm :S
[20:31] <vinnl> jarbas, yeah, but not everybody watches this channel constantly :)
[20:31] <vinnl> So perhaps someone will read your question in a while
[20:31] <jarbas> i know :)
[20:31] <jarbas> thanks
[20:47] <_Pete_> jarbas: that hand made mount works good?
[20:48] <_Pete_> the same added to fstab would be:
[20:48] <_Pete_> /dev/sda3   /media/z   iocharset=utf8,umask=000   0  0
[20:49] <jarbas> _Pete_,  yes
[20:50] <jarbas> i'm trying this approach: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1191085&highlight=mount+partition+fat32+at+boot
[20:54] <st4n> Hi, I'm installing an old PC with xubuntu, all is working fine, but sound does not works. the mixer works (if I rise the volume, I can hear some parasites in the headphone), but no sound when I play a cd
[20:55] <vinnl> st4n, only when you play a CD? You can hear e.g. sounds with movies? Which application are you using to listen to CDs?
[20:56] <st4n> vinnl: hum, I'm starting the old pc, wait 3 mn plz, I'm using the default music app of xubuntu
[20:58] <jarbas> _Pete_, well I think the problem is/was I've mounted the partition on filesystem (/MEDIA) and not under /HOME
[20:58] <st4n> vinnl: maybe I sould try to play a mp3?
[20:59] <vinnl> st4n, yeah or an audio file from /usr/share/example-content
[20:59] <_Pete_> jarbas: what matters that the mountpoint dir exists = /media/z in your case
[20:59] <st4n> vinnl: ok, I'll try that (the pc still has not booted :)
[21:00] <jarbas> _Pete_,  i thought so... but anyway, I need to work now on the command for fstab
[21:00] <_Pete_> you mean editor?
[21:00] <_Pete_> sudo nano /etc/fstab
[21:01] <_Pete_> should be easy enough
[21:01] <jarbas> _Pete_, to mount on boot. probably will do the trick
[21:02] <jarbas> _Pete_, btw, that directory exists and Virtualbox worked fine. --- until a reboot I made and everything is now ONLY under root privileges
[21:04] <_Pete_> jarbas: so it's mounted /media/z but only root can write?
[21:05] <jarbas> yes _Pete_
[21:05] <_Pete_> try to chmod 777 /media/z
[21:05] <_Pete_> if that help
[21:05] <jarbas> ok :)
[21:10] <jarbas> _Pete_, it accepted the command but still not showing folders/files. maybe on a reboot? (sorry to bother you)
[21:10] <_Pete_> dunno
[21:11] <jarbas> it's ok, I'll keep trying until this turn out to be a toaster machine or something :)
[23:58] <Person[a]> hi
