vinnlProbably has to do with preventing people from shutting down from a remote connection16:07
oorahi recently installed a distro i didn't like, and the only disc i have is Ubuntu 9.04. I use Xubuntu so what I did was install the disc, upgrade to 9.10, and then removed all gnome packages by the command in this link. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce is this just as good as making a Xubuntu 9.10 disc and installing? any cons?16:09
vinnloorah, that should be good enough, you might have some stuff left from 9.04 but nothing terrible16:10
oorahvinnl, oh ok thanks. just didn't feel like making a disc so i just installed 9.04, upgraded, left home and came back, then applied that command16:10
vinnlYeah, if you do happen to experience serious issues you might still consider burning another disk, of course, but I strongly don't expect any issues to come up16:11
oorahwhat i did, did it upgrade the grub also?16:13
vinnlNo I don't think it did16:13

DraccoHello everybody. I have basicly 2 problems with my xubuntu, one with sound and other one with dual monitor. Anybody got a moment? ^^17:21
vinnl!sound17:21
ubottuIf you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP317:21
vinnlDracco, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting should already help a lot17:21
vinnlAlso:17:21
vinnl!ask17:21
ubottuPlease 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. :-)17:21
vinnl:)17:21
Draccouhm ok so:17:22
Draccomy sound problem is that i hear it, its perfect, music from exaile or vlc plays, got sound in browser, but TS, mangler and cvoicecontrol do not detect sound card17:22
Draccodual monitor problem: when i plug additional monitor to my laptop, it just does not detect it17:23
vinnlHmm, sounds like you can better ask in their channels17:23
vinnl!xrandr17:23
ubottuXRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X.  Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR1217:23
Draccothanks :)17:23
vinnlThat's all I know about it, though, I only have one screen and no sound problems ;-)17:25
Draccogoing to get no sound problem too :P17:25

simple_i asked it21:51
simple_not "how can i play sounds"21:51
jung_what about data file???21:51

charlie-tcafor data, go to /media/cdrom0 and look for them21:52
Sysifilemanager don't show cd?21:52
charlie-tcaIf they are not there, you will need to mount the cd21:52
charlie-tcanot always, Sysi21:52
charlie-tcafor some reason, they don't always mount21:52
jung_i found infomation for sudo command  and try to mount  and  didn't work also my slave drive is  gone after i ran command21:53

Sysiit doesn't exist21:53
simple_there is not21:53
charlie-tcawhat command did you give, jung_21:53

charlie-tcaTry sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom021:55
charlie-tcanote the no dashes after /dev21:55

jung_is that matter21:58
charlie-tcayou can use "sudo umount /dev/cd-rom /media/cdrom" without the quotes to fix it21:59

Ov3rf10wmaybe have a bad cd xD22:42
charlie-tcaCarnophage: don't know  why, let me look in a clean install22:43
charlie-tcamine is a little past that point22:43
