[01:15] Hi everyone. I just installed xubuntu on my laptop last week and I'm loving it!! [03:47] hi suddenly my pc don't have sound. What can i do? [03:48] it is runnin xubuntu [04:07] You could hang around for more than thirty seconds. ;-( [04:16] I am having problems with xubuntu. [04:17] Hello? [04:17] Ok nevermind. [04:18] facepalm.jpg [04:47] likemindead: lol =] [04:47] It's ridiculous, isn't it? [05:20] s [07:27] hallo i'm new to xubuntu i need help [07:28] !ask | jung_ [07:28] jung_: 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. :-) [07:28] my Slave Drive is not recognized [07:28] are you sure it's correctly plugged? do you see anything under /media/ ? [07:28] What does 'mount' return in terminal? [07:28] yup i checked is not there [07:29] it is ntfs and fat format [07:29] !ntfs [07:29] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [07:30] thank u [08:02] Sysi? [08:04] on bad wlan [08:05] bummer [08:05] schools [08:08] I want to create a linux set up with a pre-configured development enviorment for my team members. How would I go about doing something like that? [08:18] floyd8 : what team do you manage? [08:18] <_Pete_> floyd8: like this, extract .iso, then do modifications there and then pack it again to .iso [08:19] _Pete_: So I could have the iso pre configured with stuff like LAMP, some databases, some command line tools and other packages? [08:20] <_Pete_> yes [08:20] Very cool [08:20] <_Pete_> what ever you like [08:20] Any issues with hardware compatability? I think not. [08:21] <_Pete_> no [08:21] Wow. This is very interesting [08:21] It was just an idea, because I was reading about Amazon EC2 Machine Images [08:22] <_Pete_> hopefully the db will be postgres and lamp doesnt include php :) [08:22] It takes a lot of time to set up a new member's enviorment. Especually because we are all remotely based and have different machines [08:22] <_Pete_> how so? all those can be installed with single apt-get [08:23] <_Pete_> so maybe easier is to have all machines ssh ready [08:23] <_Pete_> then with that remote execute script which installs what is needed [08:24] I was thinking that an .iso would be better because it would assure that all of our stuff is isolated from you own personal files [08:26] <_Pete_> what do you mean with that? [08:29] _Pete_: Duel boot everyone's computers. Company OS and personal OS [08:30] "Company" is used loosely here [08:30] Or, alternatively use a VM [08:51] I got a minor but quite annoying problem with xubuntu, everytime I boot my computer and reach the desktop it automatically opens terminal, hardware drivers and add/remove software (or whatever it's called in English)... When shutting off I make sure that "Save session for future logins" is not marked. Anyone know how to stop this from happening? [08:53] <_Pete_> "Save session for future logins" do this with the setup you want to see on next boot [08:54] -facepalm- alright, thank you Pete [08:55] I'll try that out === deegee_1 is now known as deegee [16:01] Hello, whenever I open a .html document it opens it in firefox even though I have selected Google Chrome to be my mainbrowser, why? [16:02] it may need to be set up in filemanager [16:02] rightclick → properties [16:02] alright, sec [16:03] can't find anything [16:04] i have there "open with" and drop menu [16:06] ah yeah, got it.. thanks a lot :) [16:22] hehe alright.. next question then, I got two hotkey problems.. In Google chrome I can't use ctrl+F4 to close down tabs, nothing happens and I play a game where alt+f8 should show your fps in the top left corner but that doesn't work either... Program -> system -> keyboard -> shortcuts (or whatever it says in English) doesn't show that those keys are assigned to anything so why doesn't it work? [16:23] oops... program -> settings(?) -> keyboard -> shortcuts* not system [17:09] (9.10) hi. I want to add a timer in the grub menu when booting. I don't find men.lst anymore. what should I modify? [17:10] There is no menu.lst in grub2; take a look in /etc/grub.d and read the docs on it [17:15] so... since my upgrade to karmic i have no ati 3d support because my card is now considered legacy... anyone else? [17:17] charlie-tca: I'm reading the readme. but I don't find anything useful for adding a simple timer [17:18] timer for seeing the menu? [17:18] charlie-tca: yes [17:18] Wrong menu; sorry. Got to set that in /etc/default/grub [17:19] charlie-tca: I don't have this file [17:20] look again, it is installed by default with grub2 [17:20] should be a file called grub in /etc/default [17:21] charlie-tca: I don't have it === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak [17:21] faLUCE: Did you upgrade from 9.04-9.10 and chose to keep grub1 ? [17:22] genii: yes [17:23] faLUCE: Then it's the same as before, in /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:23] faLUCE: (not "men.lst" as you wrote earlier) [17:24] genii: there's not, anyway., thanks, in another machine there is. should i modify GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET to true? [17:24] Not if you are using grub 1 [17:25] in grub2, yes [17:25] charlie-tca: how can I check which grub I'm using? [17:25] apt-cache policy grub [17:26] ok thanks all [17:27] comment out the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT line, too [17:27] genii: the command you said doesn't tell me anything [17:31] this grub menu starts when for example I accidentally power off my pc [17:31] and it has not a timeout.... [17:31] otherwise, when I perform a normal boot, I don't see it [17:32] now: I want to avoid that it hangs on this grub, after this accident. Tne system has to be ready automatically [17:53] hello [17:53] an ysers awake? [17:53] !hi [17:53] Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out.

[17:54] i see about 1/4 of the desktop the rest is past the margins [17:55] sounds like this might help: xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Xft/DPI -s -1 [17:57] bash: xfconf-query: command not found [17:57] hmmm [17:57] lol.. im not the most ubuntu literate as yet :) [17:58] What version of xubuntu? [17:58] i'd try: xrandr --auto [17:58] Release: 8.04 [18:00] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/DisplayConfigGtk [18:01] it blanked the desktop a couple seconds Sysi and returned to the normal resolution in which i have [18:01] it blanked the desktop a couple seconds Sysi and returned to the normal resolution in which i have a problem lol* [18:01] ok thanks charlie-tca :) [18:02] hope it helps [18:02] hi, i'm trying to install gambas [18:03] but i can not do it [18:04] !gambas [18:04] please help [18:04] !patience [18:04] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [18:04] !info gambas [18:05] Package gambas does not exist in karmic [18:05] what version of xubuntu, alejandra [18:08] alejandra: what version of xubuntu? you can find it by typing 'lsb_release -rd' in a terminal and hitting enter. [18:09] 9.04 [18:11] The package name changed to gambas2; try 'sudo apt-get install gambas2' in the terminal [18:18] I am running an install now for 9.04; it will take about 10 minutes to come up === simple__ is now known as simple_ [19:06] hi. which graphical partition manager do you recommend without too much dependencies? i had too much work removing gnome and kde dependencies and progs to go back to gparted. === Delano is now known as x-linuxuser [19:19] lcb: gparted [19:27] thanks TheSheep [20:14] Des francais ? [20:14] !fr [20:14] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [20:14] Sysi, Thx [20:14] pas de problem :) [20:17] .oO( de rien ) [20:18] xubuntu-fr n'existe plus ? [20:18] #ubuntu-fr [20:18] ok [21:13] anyone know how i might change the wallpaper with the python library? [21:15] jmcantrell: on what operating system? [21:20] TheSheep: linux (xubuntu) [21:21] jmcantrell: ah, sorry, I didn't look at the channel [21:22] jmcantrell: I thought it's #python [21:22] jmcantrell: you can send the HUP signal to xfdesktop process to make it switch to the next wallpaper from the list, but that's probably not what you want [21:24] not really. :-/ [21:24] thanks though [21:28] Hi. I need help installing freeorion. Can anyone help me out? [21:31] Where did you get it? [22:10] In Xfce, how do you set the menu system so that you don't have to click off the current open menu to switch to the next [22:10] as in, on the "Applications" and "Places" bit [22:15] Aled: don't know that you can do that in Xfce [22:15] D: [22:16] It's just a minor inconvinience, but I'll get used to it [22:16] I came to Linux from Windows see? [22:16] As do most users [22:16] But at least it works on individual program menus [22:16] yes === highvolt1ge is now known as highvoltage [22:38] balls, have an atom processor on a netbook which ran at 800MHz idle, now it doesn't [22:58] Hi Xubuntu Community. I have been wondering why Empathy will not start in Xubuntu and ideas? [22:59] Probably does not have the gnome dependencies installed [23:00] hmmm. /me starts empathy in terminal mode [23:00] ACtually says... "Bus Error" :( [23:00] Does it give any errors? [23:01] That will be a clue [23:01] * z0man googles [23:02] known bug in launched i believe. [23:03] heh the bug is reported from some country... I'll mark it as affecting me :) [23:03] oh... I already have [23:03] ba [23:04] think in the mean time I'll use Pidgin until it gets fixed :) [23:05] heh I had to "End Process" for "Gnome System Monitor" to close it. [23:05] I think pidgin is the default in xubuntu, isn't it? [23:06] So it is... heh I naturally just wanted to install Empathy due to it's clean look [23:12] wow sure is quieter than ubuntu channel [23:12] usually that also means better quality support once you get it [23:12] charlie-tca, you still therE? [23:12] I got well chuffed yesturday that I managed to get my Tablet pen working :) [23:12] yup [23:13] * z0man shows link [23:13] charlie-tca, how much do you know about playing dvd's? [23:13] use vlc? [23:13] they don't play as nice in totem, but it can be done [23:13] z0man, not long ago, i configured my tablet to only use one of my monitors [23:13] well, i sure can play dvd's... [23:13] that is all I know [23:13] okay [23:14] :) [23:14] i was about to ask about angles, chapters etc. [23:14] Oh, yeah, install dvdcss2, I think [23:14] http://z0mans-dev.blogspot.com/2010/01/ubuntu-genius-pen-f610_11.html [23:14] charlie-tca, my dvd playing is working ;) [23:14] charlie-tca, i just want more [23:14] :-) [23:14] more is good sometimes [23:15] I even managed to find something worth updating in the Ubuntu community docs too! [23:15] I was over the moon about that one :) [23:15] I got 5-6 bugs for each install today [23:15] :( [23:15] z0man: good job! Thanks for helping [23:17] Never ending support of spreading Ubuntu wen I can ^^. [23:17] when [23:18] Is there any way to view throughput when copying files? I'd prefer not to run something like iftop if possible. [23:20] I even documented how to tie Konqueror with Kate for web development ^^. [23:22] I'm talking about Thunar, by the way. [23:22] not used iftop before sorry :( [23:23] throughput you mean... The bytes being copied? [23:31] z0man, yeah... or the speed at which a file is being copied. [23:31] Right now it just gives a "time remaining," but I'd like to see bytes or transfer speed as well. [23:37] in GUI form? [23:37] Yup. [23:37] or terminal since you said not "iftop" if possible [23:37] ah i got ya [23:37] In the same window where it shows "time remaining." [23:45] why is xfce lightweight compared to gnome? what does gnome have/doesn't have that makes xfce faster? [23:49] try xfce and see why is faster then gnome [23:50] Xfce requires much less memory [23:50] and weaker graphics card [23:51] Brillant for slow end machines/laptops [23:52] and also brill for a possible Bootable OS for diagnosing machines [23:52] I just prefer Xfce over GNOME or KDE period. Even on fast, new machines. [23:52] I have a bootable usb stick with xubuntu for any such occasian(SP) [23:54] jst I think found this program called... NatActView [23:54] Cool, one sec. [23:55] yet I don't believe it shows the amount of transfer speed :( [23:55] I need to go to bed so I will have halt research on your problem [23:55] all the best [23:55] http://netactview.sourceforge.net/# [23:55] http://netactview.sourceforge.net/ [23:59] Well, looks like z0man is gone, but does anyone know if there's a way to get Thunar to display this information when copying/moving files? [23:59] I like that it shows "time remaining," but it would be nice if it showed MB/s as well.
