| freaky[t] | hi all is anybody familiar with gigolo? im trying to mount a remote location over ssh. but it always opens / on the remote machine not /home/myuser/ and i couldnt find any setting for setting the start remote folder | 00:30 |
| _Techie_ | freaky[t]: is it too much to navigate to /home/user/? | 00:34 |
| freaky[t] | every time, if it can be automated - yes :) | 00:34 |
| _Techie_ | this gigolo, is it a mounter or a browser? | 00:35 |
| rr72 | freaky[t]~ your gigolo works for remote connections?! did you do anything special? mind doesn't work | 00:36 |
| _Techie_ | 13 more minutes then i can finally boot back into windows and use my system again | 00:38 |
| _Techie_ | if i had known gparted would take 6 hours a pop to resize and move my partitions i wouldnt have bothered | 00:40 |
| freaky[t] | rr72, yes ill explain you wait a moment | 00:40 |
| freaky[t] | mounter | 00:40 |
| freaky[t] | i think it stores remote locations at least theres an option for it i gotta test but ill first help rr72 | 00:41 |
| _Techie_ | freaky[t]: you could just make a symlink to the folder within the mount location | 00:41 |
| freaky[t] | _Techie_, no that's not the usual way ;p | 00:41 |
| freaky[t] | and i still have to make 1 extra click then | 00:41 |
| _Techie_ | freaky[t]: haha | 00:41 |
| freaky[t] | http://www.uvena.de/gigolo/help.html#open-resources-in-thunar-on-xfce-4-4-and-4-6 @ rr72 | 00:42 |
| _Techie_ | freaky[t]: you could always make a bash script to mount it and open up your browser | 00:42 |
| freaky[t] | hm ill have a closer look soon | 00:43 |
| _Techie_ | sorry about the fact that all my answers dont actually fix the problem, they only work around it | 00:43 |
| freaky[t] | hehe no problem ;D | 00:43 |
| freaky[t] | i can't find an answer also | 00:44 |
| freaky[t] | i just noticed it doesnt save the last remote location =( | 00:45 |
| rr72 | cause i get gnome obexftp issues when i try | 00:45 |
| rr72 | wait sorry, wrong bug | 00:45 |
| rr72 | i can't open an application | 00:46 |
| freaky[t] | rr72, what do you mean? | 00:46 |

| wrgb | _Techie_: did it work? | 01:12 |
| _Techie_ | wrgb, yeah | 01:12 |
| wrgb | _Techie_: that's perseverance! | 01:13 |
| _Techie_ | only downside is i cant see my 178gig partition because its a wubi install | 01:13 |
| freaky[t] | wb _Techie_ ;D | 01:14 |
| wrgb | _Techie_: is your 178gig partition the host partition? | 01:14 |
| _Techie_ | wrgb, yeah | 01:15 |
| _Techie_ | i can see my 120gig windows drive fine, but my media drive is nowhere to be found | 01:15 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Is there a GUI for managing FUSE filesystems? I don't want to have to open a terminal to mount FTP/SSH every time. | 01:16 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Wait, sorry. I just found "Remote Filesystems" | 01:16 |
| freaky[t] | FrozenFire[work], yea ... it wont work as-is in xfce | 01:17 |
| freaky[t] | but i can give you a link to make it work with thunar | 01:17 |
| freaky[t] | (the xfce file manager) | 01:17 |
| _Techie_ | freaky[t], i guess ive got 1 up on ya then, im running pure ubuntu | 01:18 |
| _Techie_ | brb | 01:18 |
| _Techie_ | gotta restart | 01:18 |
| freaky[t] | http://www.uvena.de/gigolo/help.html#open-resources-in-thunar-on-xfce-4-4-and-4-6 | 01:18 |
| freaky[t] | ok | 01:18 |
| freaky[t] | ill wait ;D | 01:18 |
| freaky[t] | FrozenFire[work], you got the problem that your bookmarks dont open up any filemanager? | 01:19 |
| FrozenFire[work] | freaky[t], Yeah, just hit that :P | 01:19 |
| freaky[t] | FrozenFire[work], http://www.uvena.de/gigolo/help.html#open-resources-in-thunar-on-xfce-4-4-and-4-6 | 01:19 |
| FrozenFire[work] | Thanks | 01:20 |
| freaky[t] | np ;D | 01:20 |
| freaky[t] | FrozenFire[work], the thing you manage remote bookmarks with is called "gigolo" ;) | 01:20 |
| _Techie_ | im soo happy | 01:34 |
| freaky[t] | _Techie_, ^^ | 01:35 |
| freaky[t] | i miss a lot of stuff on xubuntu | 01:35 |
| freaky[t] | like a notes application, calendar ... etc. | 01:36 |

| lcb | hi. please someone help me how to restore top and bottom panels from the desktop? for some reason they vanished from there. | 01:45 |
| _Techie_ | alt + f2 xfce-panel | 01:46 |
| lcb | panel link on settings is not working | 01:46 |
| likemindead | That seems to be happening to folks a lot. :-\ | 01:46 |
| _Techie_ | your not the first and you wont be the last | 01:46 |
| likemindead | Hasn't happened to me in over a year, though. Huh... | 01:46 |
| lcb | ok _Techie_ , iḿ trying. thanks | 01:46 |
| rr72 | freaky[t]~ a live cd works for my brightness control but my install won'e | 01:46 |
| freaky[t] | rr72, cant help you there sorry | 01:46 |
| freaky[t] | lcb, did u relog since then? | 01:47 |
| lcb | yes freaky[t] | 01:47 |
| freaky[t] | hm didnt happen to me yet but im using xubuntu since only 2 hours lol | 01:47 |
| lcb | after trying to solve without it | 01:48 |
| lcb | freaky[t], , i love it and i recommend it and i believe this happened due to some sort of pc problem with keyboard | 01:48 |
| freaky[t] | no idea | 01:49 |
| lcb | at times starts writing zzzz s with no reason | 01:49 |
| lcb | well, let me try what _Techie_ suggested before. tks _Techie_ | 01:50 |
| lcb | hmmm "the command xfce-panel failed to run. failed to execute child process xfce-panel (no such file or directory)" | 01:52 |
| lcb | how to recover system essentials?? | 01:53 |
| _Techie_ | it might be xfce4-panel, i dont actually run xubuntu myself so im not 100% sure | 01:54 |
| lcb | _Techie_, thank you so much. it worked! | 01:55 |
| lcb | it is indeed xfce4-panel | 01:55 |
| lcb | tks a lot | 01:55 |
| _Techie_ | no problem | 01:55 |
| lcb | ) | 01:55 |
| lcb | :) | 01:55 |
| rr72 | _Techie_~ any ideas about brightness control on a laptop? it works on live cd but not 9.10 install | 01:55 |
| _Techie_ | is the livecd plain ubuntu, or is that xubuntu aswell? | 01:56 |
| rr72 | works on both of them | 01:56 |
| lcb | rr72, i just did a search on add/remove applications under "bright" and you have there some utilities | 01:58 |
| rr72 | it might be a preprtary driver issue with nvidia? | 01:59 |
| lcb | try "Monitor Settings" application, for instance | 02:00 |
| rr72 | it comes up on the notification area though | 02:00 |
| lcb | rr72, "NVIDIA X Server Settings" utility (i'm not an expert in any way, if the monitor or any device in the surrounds explodes it's your responsibility ) | 02:03 |
| rr72 | brb going to see if i uninstall the nvidia drivers works | 02:03 |
| rr72 | i can set it via CLI | 02:04 |
| rr72 | just not through the buttons | 02:04 |
| freaky[t] | ill reboot into windows now my laptop just shut itself off again because of overheating | 02:07 |
| freaky[t] | i dont know - that with xfce | 02:07 |
| freaky[t] | without doing anything | 02:07 |
| freaky[t] | i think i need a new laptop | 02:07 |
| lcb | back to fuse some devices, like router, microwave and wife. I owe you one _Techie_. bbl | 02:09 |
| _Techie_ | lcb, no you dont | 02:09 |
| lcb | _Techie_, ido... i know what is helping other on this media :) it's grateful when someone recognize simple gestures, ideas, suggestions from ppl on these help channels. :) | 02:11 |
| _Techie_ | anyway, im gonna go play some fallout3 | 02:18 |
| rr72 | freaky[t]~ i think it is the nvidia drivers, as no it works | 02:20 |
| freaky[t] | ? | 02:20 |
| rr72 | now* | 02:20 |
| freaky[t] | im on windows | 02:20 |
| rr72 | lemme install them again and see if they don't work | 02:20 |
| Oceanwatcher | Hi everyone. | 02:59 |
| Oceanwatcher | I just finished installing Xubuntu for a friend. I made a login for myself (as admin) and would like to hide it from the login screen. How can I do that? | 03:00 |
| Oceanwatcher | I have found no place to control the login screen | 03:00 |
| likemindead | Not sure, Oceanwatcher. Sorry. I use auto-login. | 03:02 |
| rr72 | I I am going to ask in ubuntu tomorrow about my problem | 03:21 |
| rr72 | thankyou all for the help | 03:21 |
| Oceanwatcher | likemindead: Thx. | 03:28 |
| Oceanwatcher | I just need to exclude my own login to avoid confusion. Actually, the 9.04 style login was better than the 9.10 login in my opinion. Less cluttered and to the point. | 03:29 |

| Billy_buntu | Hey, do you think Xubuntu 9.10 is stable? | 15:17 |
| tavasti | for me it is | 15:17 |
| Billy_buntu | It just froze when I used the update manager on my usb installation. | 15:18 |
| Billy_buntu | now firefox won't open and no update manager. | 15:18 |
| Billy_buntu | not stable. | 15:18 |
| Billy_buntu | I didn't have this problem with 9.04 | 15:19 |
| tavasti | same setup, running on usb-drive? | 15:19 |
| Billy_buntu | yes. it downloaded the updates, but froze when installing them. | 15:20 |
| tavasti | is that usb stick or real hd? | 15:20 |
| Billy_buntu | usb flash drive. | 15:20 |
| Sysi | version update or normal updates? | 15:21 |
| Billy_buntu | normal. | 15:21 |
| Billy_buntu | the synaptic package manager's not working now. | 15:21 |
| Billy_buntu | it says: E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 15:21 |
| Billy_buntu | billy buntu is not impressed. | 15:22 |
| Billy_buntu | I spent ages installing it..now this happens.. | 15:22 |
| Billy_buntu | looks like a complete reinstall...unless I get a fix. | 15:23 |
| Billy_buntu | how do I reset update & synaptic managers? | 15:23 |
| Billy_buntu | where's the reset button ? | 15:24 |
| Billy_buntu | the emergency default button? | 15:24 |
| Sysi | dpkg --reconfigure-a is commonly working fix | 15:25 |
| Billy_buntu | ok..I'll try that. | 15:25 |
| Sysi | sudo in front propably | 15:25 |
| Billy_buntu | ok | 15:25 |
| Billy_buntu | it said "command not found" Did you mean: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 15:28 |
| Billy_buntu | sorry I made a typing error! | 15:30 |
| Billy_buntu | it's working now.. at least showing something...wait | 15:30 |
| Billy_buntu | it gave me a pile of options..what now ? | 15:32 |
| Billy_buntu | I opened synaptic package manager & got this error: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 15:36 |
| === Guest29715 is now known as jcfp` | ||
| Sysi | run that? | 15:36 |
| Billy_buntu | I tried...didn't work. | 15:37 |
| tavasti | _cache->open() failed, flashdrive corruption? | 15:37 |
| === jcfp` is now known as jcfp | ||
| tavasti | end-of-life flash? | 15:37 |
| Billy_buntu | It's a fairly new flash drive. | 15:37 |
| Billy_buntu | It froze during the update...I assume it didn't complete the installation and logs. | 15:38 |
| Billy_buntu | so the new updates have not been recognized. | 15:38 |
| Billy_buntu | i tried the dpkg command and it said: dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0000' near line 0: | 15:39 |
| Billy_buntu | newline in field name `/bin/sh' | 15:39 |
| tavasti | what filesystem you have there? | 15:40 |
| tavasti | and is there some reason why would filesystem be corrupted? | 15:41 |
| Billy_buntu | don't know..I used the usb creator to format the flash drive and install xubuntu. | 15:41 |
| Billy_buntu | then i used the update manager & it froze during installation. | 15:41 |
| Billy_buntu | *the update installation froze | 15:42 |
| Sysi | so it's actually a live-usb? | 15:42 |
| Billy_buntu | yes. a live persistant usb | 15:42 |
| Sysi | well, then it's not actually installed | 15:43 |
| Sysi | you can make real installation for usb also | 15:43 |
| Billy_buntu | how ? | 15:43 |
| Sysi | hmm, i wonder if there are instructions somewhere | 15:44 |
| Billy_buntu | pendrive linux has instructions, but you need windows and a special tool. | 15:44 |
| Sysi | iirc it needs a bit configuring if you want to boot also without usb-stick | 15:45 |
| Billy_buntu | ok. | 15:45 |
| Billy_buntu | I used the xubuntu live cd: Applications >> System >> usb startup disk creator. | 15:46 |
| Billy_buntu | it installed a casper-rw file (4 gigs) | 15:47 |
| Sysi | hmm, i can't remember if there was something other than placing /boot to hard disc | 15:47 |
| Sysi | but this is same as in ubuntu, you can ask also from #ubuntu | 15:48 |
| Billy_buntu | ok. | 15:48 |
| Sysi | if here isn't anyone wiser than me :b | 15:48 |
| Billy_buntu | I might create my own capser-rw file (that's the partition file that saves information) | 15:49 |
| Billy_buntu | I have instructions.. I'll do it manually. | 15:50 |
| Billy_buntu | xubuntu uses ext3 file system right ? | 15:50 |
| Billy_buntu | or ext2 ? | 15:51 |
| Billy_buntu | use gparted to find out.. I'll check | 15:51 |
| Billy_buntu | I need to make sure casper-rw is formatted to the correct file type. | 15:52 |
| Sysi | ubuntu can use manu filesystems | 15:53 |
| Billy_buntu | but the casper-rw file...does it need a particular file type ? | 15:53 |
| Billy_buntu | my instructions said to use ext3. | 15:54 |
| Billy_buntu | the problem could be "USB startup disk creator" formatted casper-rw as ext2, when it should have been ext3.. | 15:57 |
| Billy_buntu | because ext3 worked fine in my usb xubuntu 9.04 | 15:58 |
| Sysi | my livesystems have always been on fat32 | 15:58 |
| Billy_buntu | yes I know that...but the capser-rw file should be formatted to ext3 | 15:59 |
| Billy_buntu | that's how it's done in 9.04 | 15:59 |
| Sysi | hmm, i never use usb for longer times so idk | 15:59 |
| Billy_buntu | the capser-rw file saves your changes...it has to be formated to ext3, even though the rest of the usb drive is fat32. | 16:00 |
| Sysi | even though that proper installation was a bit hard because of stupid oem xp | 16:00 |
| Billy_buntu | does your hard drive installation of 9.10 work ok ? | 16:02 |
| Billy_buntu | have you tried the update manager ? | 16:03 |
| Billy_buntu | there should be about 80 updates | 16:03 |
| Billy_buntu | download the updates..and see if it works.. | 16:03 |
| Billy_buntu | then try downloading a game with synaptic package manager. | 16:03 |
| Billy_buntu | (if you dare !!) | 16:04 |
| Sysi | i'm not sure if liveystem is ment to be updated | 16:04 |
| Sysi | i have working 9.10 in three computers | 16:04 |
| Billy_buntu | << is not liable for any damage to your system.. | 16:04 |
| Billy_buntu | it's not a live cd... I'm talking about a hard drive installation of 9.10 | 16:05 |
| Billy_buntu | does your hard drive installation update with update manager ? | 16:05 |
| Sysi | yes, all of them work great | 16:05 |
| Billy_buntu | ok.. | 16:06 |
| Sysi | only mute-problems with sound | 16:06 |
| Billy_buntu | did you configure the mixer ? | 16:06 |
| Billy_buntu | applications >> multimedia >> mixer | 16:07 |
| Sysi | that's common bug | 16:07 |
| Billy_buntu | turn up the volume | 16:07 |
| Billy_buntu | it worked for me. | 16:07 |
| Sysi | but it isn't issue | 16:07 |
| Billy_buntu | I played youtube videos with sound no problems. | 16:07 |
| Sysi | back on mute after reboot | 16:07 |
| Sysi | but i very rarely reboot | 16:07 |
| Sysi | and at school sound needs to be muted :P | 16:07 |
| Billy_buntu | ok. well that's strange because the sound on my 9.10 works fine. | 16:08 |
| Billy_buntu | maybe it disagrees with your sound hardware. | 16:09 |
| Sysi | ofc they work when you turn volume up | 16:09 |
| Sysi | but as said, that's not issue for me | 16:09 |
| Billy_buntu | ok. | 16:10 |
| Billy_buntu | I'll use windows to install 9.10 to my usb drive and see if it works any better. | 16:11 |
| Billy_buntu | there's a windows tool that creates a persistant usb installation of xubuntu 9.10 | 16:12 |
| Billy_buntu | or...I could use "usb disk startup creator" then reformat casper-rw to ext3. | 16:14 |
| Billy_buntu | thanks for putting up with my rambling.. | 16:16 |
| Billy_buntu | I'll use the live cd to install 9.10 to my usb flash. then reformat casper-rw to ext3. | 16:18 |
| Billy_buntu | bye | 16:19 |

| likemindead | Sorry, francesco_, I bought a cheap Intel card off of eBay so I wouldn't have to mess with ndiswrapper. :-\ | 18:41 |
| francesco_ | thats ok...any clues on how to make the card detectable? | 18:44 |

| mnemoc | hi, can one "logout" from command line? (ssh) | 18:56 |
| likemindead | I believe "sudo powerdown" will do it, mnemoc. | 18:57 |
| francesco_ | thank you likemindead | 18:57 |
| mnemoc | likemindead: powerdown? :) | 18:57 |
| mnemoc | likemindead: you probably mean poweroff... but no, i need to backup the home of that person | 18:58 |
| likemindead | OOOOhhhh... | 18:58 |
| mnemoc | and i don't want to back it up "hot" | 18:58 |
| likemindead | Hmm. Reboot into a CLI? | 18:59 |
| mnemoc | so i can't ask..... xfce4-session? to log off the guy? | 18:59 |
| === CarnophagePL is now known as Carnophage | ||

| mnemoc | likemindead: np ... it was just a "hope" :) | 19:01 |
| mnemoc | thanks anyway | 19:01 |
| likemindead | Hey, mnemoc, try the folks in #xfce ? | 19:09 |
| mnemoc | likemindead: good idea | 19:12 |
| mnemoc | likemindead: DISPLAY=:0.0 xfce4-session-logout --logout :) | 19:28 |
| mnemoc | bye :) | 19:30 |
| fooka1 | hello. havent been able to sync tomboy notes with ubuntuone since upgrading to karmic | 20:00 |
| fooka1 | supposedly because default browser is not set | 20:00 |
| fooka1 | although it is | 20:00 |
| fooka1 | anyone got hints/ideas? | 20:00 |
| Captain_Haddock | I have Kubuntu Karmic installed.. installing XFCE is just a "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" away, right? | 20:05 |
| Sysi | yes | 20:05 |
| renata | hello, i am new to xubuntu, I have installed karmic only today, and I have extreme trouble setting shortcuts, especially in sound ajustment on my laptop. please help | 20:05 |
| Captain_Haddock | Sysi: is there an option to keep things lightweight? I don't particularly want abiword, and stuff like gnome-sudoku ... | 20:07 |
| Sysi | it's also possible to just install xfce | 20:08 |
| Captain_Haddock | Sysi: sudo apt-get install xfce ? | 20:08 |
| Sysi | i'd guess it takes everything needed with it | 20:08 |
| Sysi | seems to be xfce4 | 20:08 |
| Captain_Haddock | xfwm4? | 20:09 |
| Sysi | my apt-get finds xfce4 package | 20:10 |
| renata | I would appreaciate help with sound mixer. I want to assign shortcuts and have no idea how to do that, thanks | 20:23 |
| Captain_Haddock | Sysi: mine does too - thanks for looking. | 20:47 |
| Sysi | np | 20:47 |
| fatih2 | hi, i have installed xubuntu 9.10 and i have ati radeon 9200. how can i understand my system has 3d support? | 20:52 |

| Sysi | try just run glxgears | 20:53 |
| fatih2 | thanks. i type it glxgears but command not found. | 20:54 |
| renata | hello, I have problems with sound mixer, I would appreciate help. I have just installed karma and the sound icon is strange, shortcuts are not working. thanks | 20:54 |
| Sysi | fatih2: it should come by default but install it if not | 20:55 |
| fatih2 | sysi: ok thanks. i will. | 20:55 |

| schizoTK | Hello Xubuntu Gurus! | 21:44 |
| schizoTK | Seeking to edit BOOT.INI on a copied fat32 partition while booted into xubuntu | 21:46 |
| schizoTK | Looked all over the forums, etc. | 21:48 |
| schizoTK | Googled since 4 am | 21:49 |
| schizoTK | How can I edit files on another partition? | 21:49 |
| schizoTK | From Terminal, how would I access files on /dev/sda8 | 21:50 |
| schizoTK | if I'm currently in /dev/sda3 | 21:50 |
| knome | schizoTK, mount the partition | 21:59 |
| knome | !mount | 21:59 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 21:59 |
| schizoTK | In Gparted it says the partition is already mounted | 22:11 |
| schizoTK | fdisk -l shows the following for the partition in question | 22:12 |
| schizoTK | /dev/sda8 2026 3504 11880004+ b W95 FAT32 | 22:12 |
| schizoTK | How do I navigate to the mount point? | 22:13 |
| schizoTK | OK, Thanks! I got it! | 22:25 |
| schizoTK | I had to edit /etc/fstab | 22:25 |
| schizoTK | Thanks once again for answering my newB? | 22:26 |
| knome | well, that wasn't a totally novice question | 22:28 |
| schizoTK | I'm trying to edit c:\BOOT.INI on a WinXP partition I copied, and now I can't see the file in question!!! { LoL } | 22:30 |
| schizoTK | I can see the other files, so maybe I need to look for another? | 22:31 |
| schizoTK | I've been computing since 1994, but had years where I never touched a PC | 22:33 |
| schizoTK | Where I live, there are no utilities, no cable, no electricity, no telephone, | 22:34 |
| schizoTK | So I have only been on the web for a year or two | 22:35 |
| schizoTK | Only been using linux for about 6 months | 22:36 |
| schizoTK | I have to say, I am very happy with the Ubuntu foundation, and all of the people who have worked so hard to give to the world this amazing OS | 22:38 |
| schizoTK | For Free! | 22:38 |
| knome | :) | 22:40 |
