[16:07] Probably has to do with preventing people from shutting down from a remote connection [16:09] i 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? [16:10] oorah, that should be good enough, you might have some stuff left from 9.04 but nothing terrible [16:10] vinnl, 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 command [16:11] Yeah, 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 up [16:13] what i did, did it upgrade the grub also?

I have basicly 2 problems with my xubuntu, one with sound and other one with dual monitor. Anybody got a moment? ^^ [17:21] !sound [17:21] If 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 !MP3 [17:21] Dracco, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting should already help a lot [17:21] Also: [17:21] !ask [17:21] 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. :-) [17:21] :) [17:22] uhm ok so: [17:22] my 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 card [17:23] dual monitor problem: when i plug additional monitor to my laptop, it just does not detect it [17:23] Hmm, sounds like you can better ask in their channels [17:23] !xrandr [17:23] XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X.

[19:10] bottom line is yes, you can take support from ubuntu as long it is for non-xfce specific items [19:42] Sysi? Sysi? where are you Sysi? [20:14] anyone using touchfreeze with xubuntu 9.10?

[21:47] !hi | jung [21:47] jung: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines . Enjoy your stay! [21:47] what's the matter? [21:47] Please ask your question, all on one line, and anybody that can will try to help you [21:48] i have problem with cd-rom it won't read on xubuntu [21:48] music, software, video? [21:49] all fo them [21:49] i mean all of them [21:49] i insert cd and notthing happened [21:49] it read flash drive and floppy but not cd-rom [21:50] i cant install xmms on xfce [21:50] can u help me [21:51] jung_: for music, put the cd in, go to Applications -> Multimedia -> Exaile [21:51] Then on the left side in exaile, choose audio disk [21:51] i want to install xmms2 on xfce [21:51] i asked it [21:51] not "how can i play sounds" [21:51] what about data file??? [21:51] click on the big PLUS sign, and it should add the audio files to be played [21:52] for data, go to /media/cdrom0 and look for them [21:52] filemanager don't show cd? [21:52] If they are not there, you will need to mount the cd [21:52] not always, Sysi [21:52] for some reason, they don't always mount [21:53] i found infomation for sudo command and try to mount and didn't work also my slave drive is gone after i ran command [21:53] charlie-tca: but in current case, question for simple_ [21:53] simple_: go into Synaptic Package Manager, search for xmms, and install it there [21:53] it doesn't exist [21:53] there is not [21:53] what command did you give, jung_ [21:53] audacious replaced it [21:54] If xmms is not there, it is not available any longer. Installing it would be futile [21:54]

sudo mount /dev/cd-rom /media/cdrom [21:55] Try sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 [21:55] note the no dashes after /dev [21:56] simple, I would use vlc instead [21:57] so should type in like this sudo mount /dev cdrom media cdrom [21:57] no, just remove the - in cd-rom that you had [21:57] sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 [21:57] i don't how to to remove [21:58] i stat using this yesterday [21:58] i was using widnow [21:58] xp [21:58] It's okay, you will do fine [21:58] so everyting is new to me [21:58] i iave 2 cd-rom [21:58] is that matter [21:59] you can use "sudo umount /dev/cd-rom /media/cdrom" without the quotes to fix it [21:59] yes, it matters. one should show up as /media/cdrom0 and the other as /media/cdrom1 [22:00] We are mounting the master drive. [22:00] i have to prob;em it said "/media/cdrom: not mounted" [22:00] which command? [22:00] the umount?

Maybe a xubuntu cd will show up. [22:31] :D [22:31] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr1, [22:31] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [22:31] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [22:31] dmesg | tail or so [22:31] if use karmic i'm out xD [22:31] it's 9.10 [22:31] bump [22:31] should be the same [22:32] i hate 9.10 [22:32] i mostly works on my laptop [22:32] *it [22:32] Wonder what the file system is? [22:33] is ureadahead installed by default in xubuntu 9.10? [22:33] let me look [22:34] I think so [22:35] !ureadahead [22:35] bot don't know [22:36] I show it installed from main, it should be default installed [22:36] sman [22:36] /dev/sr0': No medium found [22:36] charlie-tca: thx, just added it to my xubuntu, now it's time to see if it changes anything ;-) [22:37] when i tried to mount with (by-path) [22:37] jji: I don't know why it won't read the discs. /dev/sr0 is not able to read the discs at all [22:37] ls /dev [22:37] which drive was that? [22:37] sr0 won't do a direct read. [22:38] Try cdrom or dvd in /dev [22:40] i can't figureout what he do with cdrom xD [22:41] figure out* [22:41] He has two drives, and they are not reading the avi files on the disc [22:41] ok [22:42] nice, 20 sec quicker, I wonder why ureadahead wasn't installed while upgrading to 9.10 [22:42] but he seems to be trying to read them directly in /dev, and I think that is causing issues [22:42] maybe have a bad cd xD [22:43] Carnophage: don't know why, let me look in a clean install [22:43] mine is a little past that point [22:44] charlie-tca: my xubuntu is upgraded since 7.10, and 9.10 was the first one not to install all the software I don't use (default image viewer etc) [22:44] solved it [22:45] my friend helped me [22:45] did you upgrade after the final came out? [22:45] jji: what was it? [22:45] had to guess hte right device in /dev [22:45] okay [22:45] cdrom was sr0 [22:45] partitions were sda1, sda5 [22:45] thx [22:45] That's different.
