[02:02] How do I add an app tot the panel? [02:04] Add to panel > Launcher [02:09] Hey guys. A friend is having a problem where, after install, he boots to a grub prompt. Any ideas of what might be going wrong? === ron_o is now known as ron_o--glib [03:11] !ntfs [03:11] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [03:12] !FUSE [03:12] FUSE (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/FileSystems [03:12] !NTFS-3g [03:12] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions === ron_o--glib is now known as ron_o [03:25] Hm [03:25] mounting ssh shares manually with sshfs is much faster than gigolo [03:25] :/ [03:27] Not sure why.. they both use FUSE. [03:34] jar: Launcher...? Does it work like that in xubuntu...? If so, tgreat! I will have a look at it tonight! thanks [03:34] zruty, Yeah it's an "add" option. [03:35] jar: Is it a right click. or left click...? or...? [03:35] on a panel? [03:35] Right Click -> Add New Items [03:38] jar: Ah yes. I can remeber I tried that, But the option(s) I want/need are not in the manu that pops up [03:38] You can supply it anything. [03:39] jar: Ok. I will check again and let ytou know. Thanks sofar! [03:39] No problem :) [06:25] jar, :D [06:26] :) [06:26] Hey there. [06:35] is there a way i can bring in the autocomplete feature in run ? [06:35] like in sidux ? [06:35] jar, hey [06:35] :) [06:35] hm [06:35] solofight, that actually is a general xfce question [06:35] #xfce would be fine [06:35] :] [06:35] oh, :P ok [06:38] does ccleaner work with xubuntu? [06:40] No, that is a Windows only application with no real use in Linux. [06:40] ahhh...ok thanks [06:40] is there one for linux [06:41] I can't think of anything CCleaner does that is really needed in Linux. [06:41] does linux keep records of my whereabouts? [06:43] or when i install and then uninstall stuff...does linux completely get rid of it? [06:46] <_Pete_> if you told it to do so (--purge) [06:46] ahhhh...a terminal command [06:46] hi all [06:46] my xfdesktop eat cpu at restart, any idea? [06:48] i wish i knew what you mean drcode... [06:49] _Pete_, Balsaq, When I remove software I always use 'apt-get --purge autoremove foo' [06:49] gets rid of EVERYTHING [06:49] drcode, Doesn't do it here.. maybe try #xfce ? [06:49] including history and cache? [06:49] Balsaq, Those types of things (if they exist) are in your home. [06:49] The only apps I can think of that use that concept in Linux are browsers. [06:50] my home? [06:50] /home/you [06:50] Hello, Sahkolihaa. [06:50] wow...so much i don't know [06:50] * Sahkolihaa waves? o.o [06:50] Balsaq, It's a completely different OS with a completely different filesystem structure. [06:50] Sahkolihaa, :) [06:52] every day when i turn off my windows, i dumpy my cache, history, web pages viewed and any useless registry items left over from whatever...i like to go to bed 100% clean...how do i do that with linux? [06:52] the only thing in that list i can think of that applies to linux is just clearing your history and cache with firefox [06:53] ok i do that [06:53] then you're fine [06:53] hi, billy-buntu [06:53] hi..i have a problem logging into xubuntu. It won't let me log in. [06:54] but i installed a nvidia driver from nvidia, realized it was no good, unchecked it, and went back to letting xubuntu reconfigure my graphics...now did i make a mess? (it works great now) [06:54] did i leave a messy trail of mistakes somewhere inside my computer? [06:55] Why do you worry about leaving a "mess"? :o [06:55] billy-buntu, are you SURE you're using the right password/etc? [06:55] i am just that way...everyhting need to be just so [06:55] Balsaq, No - it doesn't work the same way as linux [06:55] Linux is nothing like Windows - Windows just doesn't clean it's self properly. [06:55] drivers are just single files [06:56] so do i have a useless file somewhere now [06:56] jar, i used ubuntu as my username (it worked before) and i didn't need a password. Now it refuses to accept ubuntu as username. [06:56] billy-buntu, During the install it would've asked you to supply a new username. [06:56] i did that once billy...it was because of number lock [06:56] Ubuntu is the username on the livedisk. [06:57] billy-buntu watch out for number lock...or caps lock [06:57] number lock is off. I installed xubuntu to usb flash. It didn't ask for a username/pass during install to usb. [06:57] That still uses ubuntu as the username. [06:57] i'll try again.. [06:57] it may have been on the 1st tiem you did it [06:58] time* [06:58] it happened too me [06:58] try one way then the other [06:58] if not that watch out for cap locks [06:59] I made sure caplock and numlock are off.. it still won't accept ubuntu as username. [06:59] try both ways...4 possibilities here [07:00] try with them one..or one on and one off [07:00] try with them on i mean [07:00] or one on and one off [07:01] if everything isnt exactly as you did it before it wont work [07:03] no. still won't login. [07:03] is there a config file I can edit? [07:03] i'll plug the usb drive into another pc and look at the config boot files or somthing.. [07:04] I need to bypass the login prompt. [07:05] wierd..it worked before when I logged in as ubuntu with no password. [07:07] _Pete_ this --purge, what will happen when i do it? [07:07] <_Pete_> Balsaq: read man apt-get [07:08] read man apt-get....he says it like it is a book in my bookcase........do i google man apt-get and then it appears before me? [07:09] <_Pete_> man apt-get [07:09] <_Pete_> is command [07:09] oh so i do a terminal copmmand and read it [07:09] <_Pete_> or man is command [07:09] command* [07:09] <_Pete_> which show manual pages of commands [07:09] oh cool [07:10] i hope i can print it [07:11] when i go in the basement on my xubuntu computer [07:11] <_Pete_> and why dont you just do the command on that computer? [07:11] on this xp computer? [07:12] willl it work? [07:12] <_Pete_> I meant the basement computer [07:12] yes i will when i go down there [07:12] i wrote ity down [07:12] it [07:12] i keep a book on all this stuff [07:13] <_Pete_> I would suggest to go thru some basic of linux/ubuntu wiki [07:13] <_Pete_> no need to bang head to wall when those are very well documented [07:15] <_Pete_> http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Using_Ubuntu_Linux [07:15] got it [07:15] hope it works [07:16] <_Pete_> mhhm maybe that's not the best wiki [07:16] <_Pete_> dont know for sure about english ones [07:16] which file has the username & password details ? [07:16] <_Pete_> billy-buntu: /etc/password /etc/group /etc/shadow [07:17] thanks. [07:17] <_Pete_> oops [07:17] <_Pete_> first is passwd [07:18] <_Pete_> I suggest to study what those are before screwing everything :) [07:18] i use passwd to change my password...he can't get past the username [07:19] I'm using puppy linux to look into xubuntu file system, but I can't see etc folder.. [07:20] <_Pete_> billy-buntu: easiest to recovery lost password is boot recovery mode then start root shell and change the password of user [07:20] yes..i was just thinking that. I'll try it. [07:21] can I change the user name as well? [07:22] passwd command to change username & pass? [07:22] <_Pete_> yes with usermod command [07:22] ok.thanks. [07:22] <_Pete_> read the manual page its explained there: man usermod [07:22] <_Pete_> -l, --login NEW_LOGIN [07:22] <_Pete_> The name of the user will be changed from LOGIN to NEW_LOGIN. Nothing else is changed. In [07:22] <_Pete_> particular, the user?s home directory name should probably be changed manually to reflect the [07:22] <_Pete_> new login name. [07:25] ok thanks..but how do I boot into a command prompt? [07:26] <_Pete_> when you start computer [07:27] <_Pete_> there comes that Grub.... [07:27] <_Pete_> which says press esc to see menu [07:27] I don't see an option for a terminal or command line [07:27] <_Pete_> do that and from list select recovery mode boot [07:27] found it.. i pressed esc and got a terminal [07:28] it says: [07:28] boot: [07:55] hello all [07:56] is there anyone that can tell me if with Xubuntu 9.10 the Firefox has some bugs ? [07:57] works ok for me..except it crashes when logged into paltalkexpress.com [07:58] hello, I'm trying to find drivers for Logitech quickcam, I was trying to compile them myself, but no luck. Here is the output of "make all": http://pastebin.com/m6a72c822 I would appreaciate if you could tell me what the problem is, because I do not understand nothing in there. Thanks indeed [07:58] I somehow cannot connect to different pages now. [07:58] It used to work in the previous version 9.04 [07:58] with 9.10 I use then a different browser like Epiphany or Opera and the sites are working perfect. [07:59] Thinking Firefox is excluding these websites. [07:59] hello billy-buntu [07:59] you are using Xubuntu 9.10 ? [08:00] yes. firefox works ok for me. [08:00] it should work. [08:00] maybe you need to check preferences and see if the sites you visit are restricted? [08:00] can you do some testings for me ? [08:00] they are not restricted. Checked that already. [08:01] pls. go to the link www.9292ov.nl [08:01] i don't have xubuntu running now. maybe someone else can check? [08:02] ok [08:02] is your network connection ok? [08:03] fine [08:03] all is ok, but these sites are not working for me unless I use a different browser. [08:03] i'll check the link in about 10 mins. I need to fix something first. [08:04] ok [08:07] does that link require a special plugin? [08:09] no [08:09] it was working before [08:09] in 9.10 I am not getting the connection anymore. [08:10] ok, thanks for your time [08:11] 9.10 right ? [08:12] xubuntu's logging in fine now. I had to reformat the casper-rw file. [08:13] I'll try that link. [08:13] ok [08:13] working fine [08:14] it says auto & ov [08:14] ov planner [08:14] is that right? [08:15] yes [08:15] but that is not the issue. [08:15] it connected ok. [08:15] the site is working fine. [08:15] try to do a search [08:15] hope you can understand Dutch :-) [08:15] what should I enter in? [08:16] at straat ... [08:16] stoelenmatter 55 [08:16] the 55 should be at Huisnr [08:17] Plaats should be Hoorn NH [08:17] then below should be filled in ... [08:17] again [08:17] Straat Naritaweg and Huisnr 70 [08:17] Plaats should be Amsterdam [08:18] then below you should see the option: Geef reisadvies where you can enter on it. [08:18] let me know if this works for you. [08:18] ok [08:19] after this info typed in this does not work for me but all the other browsers it does give me the output. [08:20] yes it worked [08:20] i see a time table or something [08:21] indeed [08:21] so it does works for you. [08:21] yeah..looks ok. [08:21] now what should be the problem with this in my situation ? [08:21] I went last time in the chatroom of Firefox and you know what they informed me ? [08:22] then do not use Ubuntu :-) [08:22] what? [08:22] that's bad advice, because it works for me. [08:22] I'm in australia and it's working fine. [08:22] I see now, thanks for your testing. [08:22] now could there be differences in settings of Firefox then ? [08:23] I did not change anything in the settings. [08:23] I'm using defaut setting [08:23] did you spell the names right? [08:23] yes, I did. [08:23] I used to work with these sites often in 9.04 [08:24] I installed 9.10 from scratch. [08:24] maybe cookies enable then ? [08:24] yes try that [08:25] cookies are harmless [08:25] I just checked the settings in Firefox and do not see anything where it should not work. [08:26] I have the system in Dutch, but that should not be an issue. [08:26] check preferences, manage add-ons [08:26] If I can use 2 different browsers that works fine then I was thinking it is then with Firefox. But for you it works fine also. [08:27] do you have ubunbu firefox pack? [08:27] check if java is enabled.. [08:27] the 0.8 ? [08:28] the firefox pack modification is enabled. [08:28] ok. [08:28] Java is enabled. [08:29] close the browser and open. try again. [08:29] it works for me : ) [08:29] the firefox pack modification should be enabled right ? [08:30] yes [08:30] it does not work yet. [08:31] I need to go now. [08:31] other websites work ok? [08:31] yes [08:31] they do work [08:31] ok. [08:31] later [08:31] bye [08:31] bye [08:42] when installing xubuntu to USB flash drive using usb startup disk creator...it creates a save file called capser-rw [08:42] username & password is saved in this capser-rw file. [08:43] I reformatted the file by typing: mkfs.ext3 -F casper-rw [08:43] now xubuntu boots and logs in fine. [08:45] now I know how to hack into usb xubuntu :) [08:46] by reformatting the casper-rw file, I can reset the security to default. [08:46] I shouldn't be telling you this!! [08:46] well..now you know for future reference. [09:12] my xubuntu 9.10 is running well. I logged in ok, and changed the username & pass. [09:13] this is one cool operating system [09:14] what's the difference between xforce, gnome, kde? [09:16] applications >> settings>> session & startup >> advanced >> [09:17] launch kde services on startup. [09:17] launch gnome services on startup (checked) [09:18] if I check them, I can run any gnome/kde applications in xubuntu? [09:19] no, you can always run them [09:19] ok..good. [09:19] if you check them, those applications will start faster (but you will log in a little bit longer) [09:19] ok [09:26] have you heard of the ArtistX distro? it has approx 2000 multimedia tools. the problem, it's based on ubuntu 8.04 and runs horribly slow on my pc..i want to download the important applications to xubuntu and try them. [09:27] i especially want scribus and the video editing applications. [09:28] i'm thinking xubuntu should run a bit faster + install to usb/hd [09:30] http://www.artistx.org/site2/ [09:30] check it out... [09:31] some of the video editors are Cinelerra, Kino, Openmovieeditor, Kdenlive, Pitivi, Avidemux, Devede [09:31] scribus is a desktop publisher. [09:32] anyway..i want to test some of them on xubuntu [09:35] adios [09:44] hello [10:10] hi there [10:10] i'mm atm running the installer for xubuntu 9.10 [10:10] problem: the installer does not present me with an option to install on any harddrive [10:11] i.e.: step 4 of 7 is empty [10:12] http://pastebin.ca/1693734 [10:12] how to proceede?

I'm running an HD install of 9.04. [21:02] ... also unable to chmod swappiness - even with sudo chmod [21:24] hi all [21:25] a longtime linux user is looking for an alternative distro... i'm wondering if xubuntu is the right thing for me :) [21:26] can somebody from you summarise to me what all this buntu-parties are created for and which to choose? xubuntu sounds good, since i already use xfce [21:28] anybody around? [21:28] no, we're all dead. [21:29] tactus, if you think really black & white, xubuntu is ubuntu with xfce. [21:29] ou, so i'm going for ubuntu instead xubuntu... as a scientist i like life instead of dead nicks ;) [21:30] knome: so the only difference is that xfce instead of gnome is the fundamental wm? nothing else? [21:30] tactus, no, there is also other differences, like the default set of applications, different default theme, etc. [21:31] tactus, but you can always make a ubuntu installation out of a xubuntu one and the other way around. [21:34] ok... so its just custimized? [21:35] well... you could think so. [21:35] ubuntu and xubuntu have the same repositories. [21:43] öj [21:46] ?) [21:46] wazup?
