| Guest98393 | help me pleaseeeeee | 05:49 |
| Guest98393 | can someone tell me how to install themes on xubuntu 9.10 | 05:50 |
| knome | !themes | 05:50 |
| ubottu | Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 05:50 |
| knome | !changethemes | 05:50 |
| ubottu | Themes for Xfce4 are simply GTK2+ themes which means Gnome themes are also compatible with your xfce4 desktop. To install themes, unpack it in ~/.themes/ To install icons, unpack them to ~/.icons/ - Visit http://www.xfce-look.org/ for all kinds of eyecandy for your Xfce4 desktop! - See also !themes for other GNOME theme sites | 05:50 |
| Guest98393 | where is that ~/.themes/ ??? | 05:51 |
| knome | /home/yourusername/.themes | 05:52 |
| Guest98393 | i dont see any .themes | 05:54 |
| knome | in thunar, press ctrl+h so you can see hidden files and folders (starting with .) | 05:55 |
| knome | if you still don't see .themes, feel free to create that directory | 05:55 |
| Guest98393 | thanks | 06:00 |
| knome | np | 06:00 |
| Guest98393 | help. how do i change the panel theme | 06:11 |
| knome | http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2008/02/10/design-your-own-desktop-with-xfce-44/ | 06:11 |
| Guest98393 | thanks again | 06:13 |

| genoobie | If I'm going to use xubuntu exclusively do I need a boot loader? | 06:26 |
| knome | genoobie, it's not mandatory, but i wouldn't suggest ripping it off either | 06:27 |
| genoobie | ok | 06:28 |
| genoobie | fair enough | 06:28 |
| genoobie | I'm excited to start using xubuntu | 06:28 |
| knome | genoobie, :) have fun | 06:28 |
| genoobie | the thing that used to piss me off about linux was the software management aspect | 06:30 |
| genoobie | I didn't feel like compiling something every time I wanted a bin | 06:30 |
| knome | lol :) | 06:30 |
| genoobie | I was okay with "non-optimized" software | 06:31 |
| genoobie | anyhow | 06:31 |
| genoobie | hrm | 06:49 |
| genoobie | seems like the xubuntu install is taking some time | 06:49 |
| knome | a bit | 06:50 |
| Humbucker | :P Of course ubuntu is a big operating system | 06:50 |
| knome | less than windows, though | 06:50 |
| genoobie | well is xubuntu? | 06:50 |
| genoobie | yeah, funny, they seem comparable in installation time | 06:50 |
| knome | genoobie, xubuntu shares the base of ubuntu | 06:50 |
| genoobie | I suppose I can strip it down afterward | 06:50 |
| Humbucker | Yes, it is almost the same as ubuntu but without gnome. | 06:51 |
| knome | genoobie, so yes, even xubuntu is partly "big" | 06:51 |
| genoobie | I like the fact it detected the touchpoint mouse w/o trouble | 06:51 |
| genoobie | hopefully it will do the same for the wireless card | 06:51 |
| Humbucker | I dont have any experience with wireless & ubuntu :P | 06:52 |
| Humbucker | But I think it should work | 06:52 |
| genoobie | we'll see | 06:52 |
| genoobie | even XP didn't like WPA in the beginning | 06:52 |
| Humbucker | I managed to get it working on Arch and arch seems somewhat harder than ubuntu | 06:52 |
| knome | everything is solvable. genoobie, did you try the livecd? | 06:52 |
| genoobie | nah | 06:52 |
| genoobie | I wanted to install it, I'm done with XP on this machine | 06:52 |
| genoobie | too slow. XP can run on 256MB ram, but it's a dog | 06:53 |
| knome | BARK! | 06:53 |
| Humbucker | xp isnt slow, itself ... | 06:53 |
| Humbucker | Maybe your virus scanner xP | 06:53 |
| genoobie | :) | 06:53 |
| genoobie | nah, no anti-vir | 06:53 |
| genoobie | it's an old machine | 06:53 |
| === edson is now known as Guest56366 | ||
| genoobie | I was debating whether or not to dump another $20 into it for more ram | 06:54 |
| knome | $20 is a little. | 06:54 |
| Guest56366 | How do I restore the default settings in Xubuntu? | 06:54 |
| knome | if you go up from 256, you will get *lots* more than worth $20 :) | 06:54 |
| Guest56366 | I messed up my desktop in installing themes help | 06:54 |
| genoobie | but figured I would try xubuntu first and see if I can get some mileage with a PIII 800 / 256MB | 06:54 |
| genoobie | yeah, but is it *really* worth it? | 06:55 |
| Humbucker | xfce is much wuicker than gnome, believe me :P | 06:55 |
| knome | genoobie, yes. :) | 06:55 |
| genoobie | :) | 06:55 |
| genoobie | I'd only be going up to 512 | 06:55 |
| Humbucker | I like xfce very much | 06:55 |
| knome | it is still worth it | 06:55 |
| knome | genoobie, with 512 you can go few more releases ahead at least | 06:55 |
| genoobie | I installed xfce on an old bsd system | 06:55 |
| genoobie | hrm | 06:56 |
| knome | Guest56366, what about going to the theme interface and restore the default theme? (albatross) | 06:56 |
| Humbucker | What means hrm?? xP | 06:56 |
| knome | Humbucker, "he remains mysterious" | 06:56 |
| Guest56366 | ok, theres one more problem | 06:57 |
| knome | Guest56366, yup? | 06:57 |
| Guest56366 | MY PANELS ARE GONEE | 06:57 |
| Guest56366 | help | 06:57 |
| knome | Guest56366, press alt+f2 and run "xfce4-panel" | 06:57 |
| Guest56366 | Thanks! | 06:57 |
| knome | again, np. | 06:57 |
| knome | genoobie, seriously, more ram NEVER hurts. | 06:58 |
| genoobie | is 133 usually backward compatible with 100? | 06:58 |
| knome | genoobie, i don't know. depends on the ram and also if the motherboard wants to play with both 100 and 133 at the same time, even if the other was "downgraded" | 06:59 |
| knome | but then again, i'm no hardware expert :) | 06:59 |
| knome | i just know how it accets usability, and between 256 and 512 there is quite a bit difference | 07:00 |
| genoobie | well I'll see how it goes with 256 | 07:01 |
| genoobie | if it's a dog | 07:01 |
| genoobie | then I'll consider 512 | 07:01 |
| Guest56366 | whats the hotkey for restart? | 07:01 |
| genoobie | I saw some on ebay for $10, but now I can't find it | 07:01 |
| knome | Guest56366, there's no such key unless you specify one yourself, and i don't suggest that. | 07:01 |
| knome | Guest56366, use the "action buttons" applet (an arrow + a door) | 07:02 |
| knome | Guest56366, only takes 2 clicks | 07:02 |
| genoobie | okay I'm looking for wireless settings | 07:06 |
| knome | !wlan | 07:06 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 07:06 |
| genoobie | tx | 07:06 |
| genoobie | knome, supposedly works out of the box... | 07:09 |
| genoobie | but no lights are on the card... | 07:09 |
| knome | genoobie, have you checked if it's enabled in the bios? | 07:09 |
| genoobie | it's not a bios option | 07:10 |
| knome | okay. is it a laptop? | 07:10 |
| genoobie | yes | 07:11 |
| knome | is the wlan adapter builtin? | 07:11 |
| genoobie | it's a PCMCIA card calling for the acx driver | 07:11 |
| knome | oh... | 07:11 |
| genoobie | it appears to be | 07:11 |
| genoobie | I mean the site calls it "out-of-the-box" | 07:12 |
| knome | is there any buttons to enable/disable wlan? | 07:12 |
| genoobie | no | 07:13 |
| genoobie | it's a separate PCMCIA card | 07:13 |
| Humbucker | 0.o Doesn't ubuntu offer out-of-the-box wlan support??? With arch I could activate it in the installer :P | 07:13 |
| Humbucker | That's strange in my opinion | 07:13 |
| knome | Humbucker, it does, but there is problematic cards | 07:13 |
| genoobie | I mean ordinarily the lcds are lit up on the card | 07:14 |
| genoobie | Like i said, it's a ACX driver, and according to the page, I'll need ndiswrapper | 07:15 |
| genoobie | for wpa support | 07:15 |
| knome | oh, okay.. | 07:15 |
| genoobie | but the card is not responding | 07:15 |
| knome | i have no experience on pcmcia wlan cards, sorry | 07:16 |
| knome | !ndiswrapper | 07:16 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 07:16 |
| genoobie | s | 07:16 |
| knome | hmm | 07:16 |
| genoobie | s'ok | 07:16 |
| knome | maybe just browse the forums | 07:16 |
| genoobie | knome, do you have a link? | 07:35 |
| genoobie | or a suggestion on how to get this stupid card to work? | 07:35 |
| genoobie | okay | 07:38 |
| genoobie | I'm stuck, I'll admit | 07:38 |
| knome | genoobie, ubuntuforums.org | 07:44 |
| knome | gonna get a few hours of sleep now -> | 07:44 |
| samuels | hey guys. strange problem. i inserted a dvd which usually is fine in windows but here its mounting as a blank disk. its a data dvd. i tried dmesg | tail and the output is exomount:segfault | 11:49 |
| samuels | any ideas on whats happening? | 11:49 |
| samuels | here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/348062/ | 11:51 |
| samuels | anyone?????? | 11:53 |
| _Pete_ | is it burned overtime or something? | 11:53 |
| _Pete_ | line 8 | 11:53 |
| samuels | nope its got almost 200mb of blank space | 11:54 |
| _Pete_ | well if it only *usually* works in windows | 11:54 |
| _Pete_ | maybe there's really something wrong with disc/drive | 11:54 |
| _Pete_ | or both | 11:54 |
| samuels | it does work in windows | 11:54 |
| samuels | other dvd's are working fine so the drive is fine i suppose.... | 11:55 |
| samuels | if there is a problem with the disk will it mount as a blank or will it not mount at all???? | 11:56 |

| Sysi | !ask | 13:54 |
| _Pete_ | just ask | 13:54 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 13:54 |
| jeremia | ok | 13:54 |

| memet | morning all | 15:16 |
| memet | I'm trying to get apturl to work with FF3 | 15:16 |
| memet | good morning | 15:39 |
| memet | I just installed xubuntu and I'm having some small problems | 15:39 |
| memet | 1) the performance is terrible | 15:39 |
| memet | I thought the OS would outperform windows | 15:39 |
| knome | memet, with what hardware are you running xubuntu? | 15:45 |
| memet | knome, 256MB ram + PIII 800 MHz, S3 graphics | 15:47 |
| memet | winxp runs faster than this | 15:47 |
| knome | memet, 256 ram is somewhat little. do note that xubuntu 9.10 is an OS from 2009, xp is not | 15:47 |
| memet | that's true, but even still | 15:47 |
| knome | there's not but :P | 15:48 |
| memet | well, then I need a different OS | 15:48 |
| memet | or just switch back to XP | 15:48 |
| knome | have you got any chance to upgrade your ram? | 15:48 |
| knome | memory is cheap now. | 15:48 |
| memet | I'm sure I could | 15:48 |
| memet | but why would xp >> this OS? | 15:48 |
| knome | even upping to 512 would make a difference | 15:49 |
| knome | sorry, can you rephrase? | 15:49 |
| memet | well, it seems strange that winxp would run better than a linux + xfce | 15:49 |
| knome | some linux distributions will run faster on that hardware, i suppose | 15:50 |
| knome | like damn small linux or puppy linux | 15:50 |
| knome | the drawback is that they are not as easy to use | 15:50 |
| memet | it just seems strange that launching an app is taking minutes instead of seconds | 15:52 |
| memet | rt-click on the desktop is *slow* | 15:52 |
| memet | everything is slow | 15:52 |
| knome | i'm sorry, but complaining doesn't fix it. | 15:52 |
| memet | no I know, I'm just not sure where to look to fix it | 15:52 |
| knome | install an older version of xubuntu, eg. 8.04, they work better with 256 ram | 15:53 |
| memet | what does version 9 give you that 8 doesn't | 15:53 |
| memet | I need WPA for instance | 15:53 |
| knome | you could also try the minimal cd, where you can select what software to use, and might be able to slim down the system a bit | 15:53 |
| memet | it's still 2.6, correct? | 15:53 |
| knome | (x)ubuntu has 2.6.24 | 15:54 |
| knome | *8.04 | 15:54 |
| knome | wpa should work in 8.04, however, the hardware compatibility list is smaller | 15:54 |
| memet | yeah, it just is slow | 15:54 |
| knome | if you don't need to upgrade, you can consider installing even older versions, but that is totally NOT supported nor suggested. | 15:55 |
| memet | yeah, that's fine | 15:55 |
| memet | I can't use this desktop | 15:56 |
| knome | consider the possibility of buying some new memoery | 15:56 |
| memet | I suppose I could just buy the ram and reinstall xp | 15:56 |
| knome | well, once you buy the ram you should test xubuntu first. if it is fast enough then | 15:56 |
| knome | (at least as you already have it installed) | 15:57 |
| * Ov3rf10w brb | 16:17 | |
| hal | xubuntu must be real good. nobody is asking questions | 16:53 |
| Sysi | you say that with 2 minutes experience? | 16:54 |
| _Pete_ | hal: art of ZEN | 16:54 |
| _Pete_ | only drar sword when it is needed | 16:54 |
| hal | true | 16:55 |
| _Pete_ | so you have question or not ? | 16:55 |
| hal | not right now | 16:56 |
| _Pete_ | I have 20v ZEN and 15 or so in linux | 16:57 |
| _Pete_ | so mind your question | 16:57 |
| _Pete_ | Ov3rf10w: that doesnt include you | 16:58 |
| _Pete_ | Ov3rf10w: you can ask what ever you like | 16:59 |
| Ov3rf10w | lol | 16:59 |
| Ov3rf10w | _Pete_, go to #ubuntu there is a lot of questions for you :D | 17:02 |
| _Pete_ | I wont | 17:02 |
| Sysi | xubuntu and #xubuntu ♥ | 17:03 |
| Ov3rf10w | :) | 17:03 |
| _Pete_ | for real | 17:03 |
| _Pete_ | there are too many morons | 17:03 |
| _Pete_ | .. not for me | 17:03 |
| Ov3rf10w | hmmm.... | 17:04 |
| Ov3rf10w | yea | 17:04 |
| Ov3rf10w | :D | 17:04 |
| Sysi | yea, here's just me | 17:04 |
| _Pete_ | I like this channel | 17:04 |
| _Pete_ | ... even I dont anymore use xfce | 17:04 |
| _Pete_ | but coz the ones who come here | 17:04 |
| Sysi | i have xfce, no ubuntu :P | 17:04 |
| _Pete_ | seems to know something | 17:04 |
| Ov3rf10w | Sysi, you mean not gnome xD | 17:05 |
| _Pete_ | otherwise they wouldnt chose xfce at all | 17:05 |
| Sysi | Ov3rf10w: no, not any *buntu | 17:05 |
| Ov3rf10w | what linux you using? | 17:05 |
| Sysi | exept older netbook | 17:06 |
| hal | does xfce have a live cd or do you have to install? | 17:06 |
| Sysi | fedora and centos | 17:06 |
| _Pete_ | I am using 9.10 with kde3 | 17:06 |
| Sysi | there are xubuntu livecds | 17:06 |
| _Pete_ | and on servers debian | 17:06 |
| Ov3rf10w | _Pete_, 9.10 is shit xD | 17:07 |
| Ov3rf10w | 9.04 is the best version | 17:07 |
| _Pete_ | Ov3rf10w: works for me | 17:07 |
| Sysi | it works in some cases yeah | 17:07 |
| Ov3rf10w | xD | 17:07 |
| hal | what is the difference of xfce vs xubuntu? | 17:07 |
| _Pete_ | hal: xfce vs gnome | 17:07 |
| Sysi | xubuntu in ubuntu with xfce | 17:08 |
| Sysi | !xfce | 17:08 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 17:08 |
| Ov3rf10w | i tryed 9.10 and do not like it | 17:08 |
| Ov3rf10w | tried* | 17:08 |
| hal | xfce is less bloated i imagine | 17:08 |
| _Pete_ | hal: thats the purpose of it | 17:08 |
| Ov3rf10w | xfce is maked for performance | 17:08 |
| hal | sweet | 17:09 |
| Sysi | but it seems to fail a bit :/ | 17:09 |
| _Pete_ | but as a developer | 17:09 |
| hal | on what? | 17:09 |
| _Pete_ | they both use same code base | 17:09 |
| Sysi | xubuntu could be lighter | 17:09 |
| _Pete_ | what can really be difference | 17:09 |
| hal | i tried puppylinux. now thats is lighter, and DSL but they are missing much | 17:10 |
| _Pete_ | with my quadcore/8G&/some nividia card | 17:10 |
| _Pete_ | there is no difference | 17:10 |
| Sysi | i may get 10.04 if it's great, otherly i wouldn't like to use apt | 17:10 |
| _Pete_ | except with KDE4 | 17:11 |
| _Pete_ | that is noticably slower | 17:11 |
| hal | KDE is nice but bloated | 17:11 |
| hal | for my system anyway | 17:11 |
| _Pete_ | nah | 17:11 |
| _Pete_ | I like kde3 | 17:11 |
| _Pete_ | it has ALL the tunes youn can twiddle with | 17:12 |
| Sysi | i've never liked any kde | 17:12 |
| hal | so do i..but my unit is a little old | 17:12 |
| Sysi | xfce is easy to get look good and be nice to handle | 17:12 |
| Ov3rf10w | kde is kde is sucks | 17:12 |
| _Pete_ | but me being HC nerd | 17:12 |
| Ov3rf10w | xD | 17:12 |
| _Pete_ | no wonder | 17:12 |
| hal | i may try xfce | 17:13 |
| Sysi | real nerd use openbox :b | 17:13 |
| Sysi | hal: how old? | 17:14 |
| TheSheep | real nerd write their own wm | 17:14 |
| _Pete_ | does they also use n900 ? | 17:14 |
| Sysi | lubuntu or crunchbang should be good | 17:14 |
| hal | 05 i think. dell 240 | 17:14 |
| Sysi | _Pete_: some of them | 17:14 |
| hal | 1gig on ram | 17:14 |
| _Pete_ | Sysi: what about those who got one for free coz they did excellent coding job? | 17:15 |
| hal | it can handle ubuntu, but sluggish | 17:15 |
| hal | xubuntu is better on it | 17:16 |
| Sysi | _Pete_: that sounds nerd | 17:16 |
| _Pete_ | Sysi: 5p hint | 17:16 |
| _Pete_ | I am the one of those | 17:16 |
| hal | can xubuntu use openoffice? | 17:17 |
| Sysi | you just have too much time :P | 17:17 |
| Sysi | hal: of course | 17:17 |
| hal | sweet | 17:17 |
| hal | 9.04 is better you said right? | 17:17 |

| Aquina | hy! I wanna upgrade one of my personal systems from K7 (MSI KT6 Delta FISR w. AMD Athlon XP 2600+ and DDR-SD-RAM) to K8 or K9. Everything else will be the same. Do you think my cusomized Xubuntu 8.04.3 will handle that? | 18:07 |
| _Pete_ | yes | 18:13 |
| Aquina | Are all drivers in kernel? Should I uninstall the non-free ATI driver for my Radeon 9550 Pro in case I choose a new Mainboard with onBorad graphics? What about my audio chipset. I'm using some AC97 VT82?? chip. Will I have to reconfigure lots of things regarding that? | 18:22 |
| nik_ | Hi all there | 19:05 |

| Sysi | "ask | 19:06 |
| djura-san | just aks your question | 19:06 |
| Sysi | damm | 19:06 |
| Sysi | !ask | 19:06 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 19:06 |
| djura-san | ( Sysi was faster :) ) | 19:06 |

Some errors appeared but I still rebooted the system after it finished. After rebooting, the GRUB appears when I select Linux a text login screen apears which continously blinks and i m not able to enter linux GUI | 19:09 |
| nik_ | is anyone there? | 19:13 |

| Sysi | maybe no one just knows | 19:18 |
| Aquina | _Pete_ have you read my question from 19:22 (GMT+1:00)? | 19:23 |
| Aquina | nik_ that sounds strange since it implies a modification of you Ubuntu installation on an ext4 partition. | 19:24 |
| nik_ | I probably can work out if i am able to login to the GUI | 19:27 |
| nik_ | but even with the live cd m not able to mount the linux partition | 19:27 |
| nik_ | it gives error | 19:27 |

| knome | hey, anybody has experience on setting a working vnc server up on ubuntu? | 20:03 |
| === diib is now known as dbdii407 | ||
| Aquina | ah... nik_ so you're probably in the GRUB gui. | 20:17 |
| Aquina | Aehm ... GRB CLI | 20:17 |
| Aquina | Sometimes major drive changes regarding GRUB cause what you described, nik_ The following commands can be issued to recover the system (make volumes available again). | 20:18 |
| Aquina | 1] "ls -a /dev/disk/by-uuid" / "ls -slap /dev/disk/by-uuid" | 20:19 |
| Aquina | 2] Write down / copy the output of the command given above. | 20:19 |
| Aquina | 3] Then reebot and enter GRUB (ESCAPE), issue 'p' and edit. | 20:19 |
| Aquina | 4] Modify GRUB ("sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst") with UUID. | 20:19 |
| Aquina | 5] Modify fstab ("sudo nano /etc/fstab") with appr. values. | 20:19 |
| Aquina | 6] Issue "sudo update-grub" to enable all the changes made. | 20:19 |
| Aquina | 7] Issue tune2fs with switches -C1, -c<INTd> and -i<INTd>. | 20:19 |
| Aquina | (7 only in case you like it) | 20:20 |
| Aquina | (3 requires you to correct what is listed with the content of 1]/2]) | 20:21 |
| Aquina | (after 3] follows 4] - no reboot or something!) | 20:21 |
| Aquina | (you correct 5] the same way you corrected 3] with the data from 1]/2]) | 20:22 |
| Aquina | I hope it's just the ID association... ;-) | 20:22 |
| kidko | Hey all, I'm running Xubuntu 9.04. Had to re-install it, and now all of a sudden I have no system bell once logged in. On shutdown it works, and it worked before I reinstalled, but now 'echo -e "\a"' does nothing | 20:44 |

| nickybatts | What's a good ftp client? | 23:06 |
| TheSheep | lftp | 23:06 |
| TheSheep | installed by default | 23:06 |
| Ov3rf10w | nickybatts, filezilla | 23:06 |
| nickybatts | filezilla... yea | 23:06 |
| Ov3rf10w | :) | 23:06 |
| nickybatts | I've heard of that | 23:06 |
| nickybatts | Okay cool | 23:06 |
| Ov3rf10w | sudo apt-get install filezilla | 23:07 |
| nickybatts | Doing it now... thanks :) | 23:07 |
| nickybatts | Anybody here gotten EVE online to work with Xubuntu? | 23:07 |
| SiDi | Hi there | 23:09 |
| SiDi | nickybatts, you may want to ask for help in #wine | 23:09 |
| SiDi | it should basically be all the same than under another distro | 23:10 |
| nickybatts | Thought so, not too familiar with WINE however | 23:10 |
| nickybatts | Okay, I will check it out thanks | 23:10 |
| SiDi | nickybatts, EVE online used to have official support but it doesn't anymore, so this may mean its not working for everybody anymore. ANyway I advise you to have a look at appdb.winehq.org | 23:10 |
| nickybatts | cool thanks | 23:11 |
| nickybatts | Ha.. I have so many desktop.ini pics in all my backed up files | 23:11 |
| nickybatts | Sigh | 23:11 |
| SiDi | its files automatically created by windows | 23:12 |
| SiDi | enjoy :/ | 23:12 |
| nickybatts | Can I delete them easily> | 23:13 |
| SiDi | find -name desktop.ini | xargs rm | 23:13 |
| SiDi | it will go through your whole home | 23:13 |
| SiDi | may take a while | 23:13 |
| nickybatts | I did a seach using the built in app, but I can't interact with them | 23:14 |
| nickybatts | hmm | 23:14 |
| SiDi | I prefer the command line way xD | 23:15 |
| nickybatts | Is that the exact command? | 23:15 |
| SiDi | Yes | 23:17 |
| SiDi | find -name desktop.ini will search through your whole home directory for all files named desktop.ini | 23:17 |
| SiDi | | xargs <appname> will take the result of the command on the left and give it as a parameter to <appname> | 23:18 |
| SiDi | so | xargs rm will remove the files that were found | 23:18 |
| SiDi | (that works only if the files dont have spaces in their names though - there's an extra bit to do for files with spaces) | 23:18 |
| SiDi | The correct command would then be: find -name desktop.ini -print0 | xargs -0 rm | 23:19 |
