| knome | jst, i don't think that is going to be a thunar feature, at least in the near future. | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| jst | Okay, thanks. No patches or anything I could use? | 00:03 |
| Rascal999 | right, got an interesting problem. I need a netbook that WoL. I would like there to be no password protection when awoken via WoL, *but* would like password when booted normally | 00:06 |
| Rascal999 | if this is not possible, is it possible to boot without password whilst in proximity of a wireless router? Just an idea | 00:06 |
| knome | jst, i suppose not. thunar 1.1.0 was just released and there's no such feature. | 00:10 |
| knome | Rascal999, sounds like something you should do and something you probably are not able to do with some heavyish hacking | 00:11 |
| jst | knome, okay, thank you. | 00:11 |
| Rascal999 | knome, the router sounds easier and imo more secure against those with limited experience of linux | 00:12 |
| Rascal999 | it would increase boot time, but a single script which scans for wireless devices then goes from there will probably suffice | 00:12 |
| knome | Rascal999, feel free to hack that in. that's probably never going to be uploaded into the official ubuntu repostories, though :) | 00:13 |
| Rascal999 | lol yeah, its very specific ;) | 00:14 |
| jst | Anyone else realize that Pidgin's icon is Yahoo's? | 00:15 |
| jst | Very strange. | 00:15 |
| knome | jst, that's the pidgin icon from the elementary theme | 00:15 |
| Rascal999 | i think i'll just wait the extra minute for computer to boot than WoL, i'd do it more for the awesomeness factor of waking up to a prebooted machine than for practical use | 00:16 |
| jst | Ahh, yes. | 00:16 |

| Flea_ | Does anyone know the difference between wine and Qemu? | 06:09 |
| psycho_oreos | wine isn't a windows emulator and qemu can handle other platforms when configured correctly | 06:12 |
| Sysi | qemu is used for virtualisation | 06:12 |
| psycho_oreos | qemu is the equivalent level of vmware or virtualbox, etc | 06:13 |
| Flea_ | I see. So for just running windows programs, like a game or something, I should just use wine? | 06:14 |
| Sysi | yes, but everything don't work with it | 06:15 |
| psycho_oreos | more like don't expect everything to work with wine | 06:16 |
| Flea_ | I see. So i may need to use Qwmu? Or am I just SoL? | 06:16 |
| psycho_oreos | you haven't described what your usage is for with either of these programs.. and no Qemu can't handle games well | 06:18 |
| genii | Flea_: Check the appdb of wine like I told you already in #ubuntu | 06:18 |
| genii | The ubottu messaged you the info | 06:18 |
| Flea_ | I see that now, genii, sorry! | 06:19 |
| Flea_ | Thanks for the help, everyone! | 06:19 |

| Rascal999 | i installed network-manager-pptp and it works on ubuntu laptop but not on xubuntu netbook, any ideas? | 15:47 |
| knome | Rascal999, different version of xubuntu? | 15:55 |
| knome | Rascal999, maybe ubuntu has some packages that xubuntu don't? | 15:55 |

| tasos | can somebody help me install wifi drivers? :| | 16:52 |
| likemindead | What chip, tasos? | 16:56 |
| tasos | intel 3945abg | 16:56 |
| tasos | do you know about this chip? | 16:56 |
| tasos | guess not :/ | 16:58 |
| likemindead | Sorry, I was away, tasos. | 17:08 |
| likemindead | Let me look into it. I thought Intel chips "just worked." I have a couple that do. | 17:09 |
| likemindead | What version of Xubuntu? | 17:09 |
| gizmobay | Anyone know how to reset mousepad? As root it looks good, as a user it's zoomed funky and the navigation tab is gone. I didn't see a .mousepad file | 17:37 |
| charlie-tca | remove the file ~/.config/mousepad | 17:46 |
| charlie-tca | There is a mousepadrc file in there that should be causing the issue | 17:46 |
| gizmobay | thanks charlie-tca, that solved the problem | 17:58 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 17:58 |
| * charlie-tca finally got one right again | 17:58 | |
| knome | charlie-tca, you have to get, it's against all odds you will get all of them wrong ;) | 18:00 |
| charlie-tca | Thanks, knome | 18:00 |
| charlie-tca | you seem to be right again! | 18:00 |
| Redaxxx | Help! I got a xubuntu laptop infront of me and I forgot the login password -facepalms- any way to get in without having to reinstall xubuntu? | 18:00 |
| knome | yeah. seems i can't be wrong so i must be an exception to the previous case :P | 18:00 |
| charlie-tca | yes, Redaxxx | 18:01 |
| charlie-tca | there is | 18:01 |
| Redaxxx | Oh, could you guide me? or link me to a guide? | 18:01 |
| charlie-tca | you have to go in using recovery mode and change it using passwd | 18:02 |
| Redaxxx | alright... How do I get the GRUB menu to show? It showed once but now it doesn't show up anymore when booting.. do I need to press anything? | 18:03 |
| Redaxxx | nvm, got it | 18:03 |
| Redaxxx | Should I 'Drop to root shell prompt'? | 18:04 |
| charlie-tca | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords will help, | 18:04 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 18:04 |
| charlie-tca | That should give you a root prompt, with no password required | 18:04 |
| Redaxxx | yeah, managed to change the pw now... thanks a lot! | 18:05 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 18:05 |
| knome | i think i'll hit the sofe. | 18:07 |
| knome | *sofa | 18:07 |
| knome | see you later | 18:07 |
| Sysi | sofairc ftw | 18:08 |
| knome | nah | 18:08 |
| knome | sofasnore ftw | 18:08 |
| knome | -> | 18:08 |
| * charlie-tca is frustrated; whoever decided the grub menu MUST be hidden never had problems with it. | 18:23 | |
| * likemindead still doesn't understand the rationale behind the new GRUB stuff... | 18:25 | |
| charlie-tca | I don't understand the rationale behind making it more like windows | 18:26 |
| charlie-tca | I just broke the keyboard trying to get the grub menu to show up at all | 18:26 |
| Sysi | it can't be kicked of from xubuntu? | 18:27 |
| Sysi | the splash screen | 18:27 |
| Sysi | it's eyecandy, but meh | 18:28 |
| charlie-tca | I need the grub menu, did an encrypted install, then a normal install, no way to see the menu now | 18:28 |
| charlie-tca | I don't need a splash screen | 18:28 |
| charlie-tca | Can not start the encrypted session, because there is no way to choose it | 18:29 |
| Pres-Gas | charlie-tca, you able to get to the GRUB 2 menu? | 18:38 |
| charlie-tca | no | 18:39 |
| Pres-Gas | Hold down the shift key | 18:39 |
| charlie-tca | not even a little bit | 18:39 |
| charlie-tca | I changed the options in /etc/default/grub and still can't get it | 18:39 |
| Pres-Gas | Left shift | 18:39 |
| Pres-Gas | Do it just before the bios hands off to grub | 18:39 |
| charlie-tca | Left shift, right shift, esc, fkeys, option to show it, nothing works | 18:40 |
| Pres-Gas | Your window of time is not big, but it works | 18:40 |
| * charlie-tca thinks the broken coffee cup did not help, either | 18:40 | |
| charlie-tca | It won't work, not even changing options to show the menu worked | 18:41 |

| faheem_ | anyone awake? | 19:35 |
| cody-somerville | Sure. | 19:35 |
| faheem_ | Hello i am using Xubuntu, my screen resolution seems to be too high as i cant see the entire desktop on my laptop screen.. any ideas on how to solve | 19:36 |
| faheem_ | any ideas cody-somerville? | 19:37 |
| cody-somerville | faheem_, Applications > Settings > Display | 19:37 |
| cody-somerville | That'll let you change your resolution. | 19:38 |
| faheem_ | no display cody-somerville | 19:38 |
| cody-somerville | What version of Xubuntu are you using? | 19:38 |
| faheem_ | has settings manager though | 19:38 |
| faheem_ | no idea lol... | 19:38 |
| cody-somerville | Okay, click that and click display in there | 19:38 |
| pdg1 | anyone who has used rtorrent understand what a session is? | 19:40 |
| faheem_ | ok awesome | 19:40 |
| faheem_ | i sorted it... i didnt realise that when i updated my ubuntu it allowed me to change resoltion | 19:41 |
| faheem_ | on 8.04 it didnt allow me to change it | 19:41 |
| faheem_ | thanks cody-somerville and bye | 19:42 |
| pdg1 | cool | 19:43 |
| pdg1 | I'm guessing that means everyone else uses something else for torrents or nothing at all | 19:44 |
| Flea_ | Having trouble installing Wine. Can anyone help me? | 19:49 |
| Flea_ | Is anyone here? I really need help | 19:52 |
| Sysi | !ask | 19:52 |
| 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. :-) | 19:52 |
| Flea_ | Ok, sorry. | 19:53 |
| Flea_ | When I try to install wine, i get a message that says "Could not apply changes! Fix broken packages first." I'm not sure why this happens and I asked on the wine channel. They told me to come here. | 19:54 |
| genii | Flea_: sudo apt-get install -f then go back to trying to install wine | 19:55 |
| Flea_ | Thanks, genii. I'll try that | 19:55 |
| Flea_ | That did not work, genii. | 19:56 |
| Flea_ | I got the same error message when trying to install. | 19:57 |
| genii | Flea_: Did it give you some error in the apt-get install -f, or just go back to $ prompt? | 19:57 |
| Flea_ | no, it said that 0 packages were removed. | 19:58 |
| genii | Flea_: OK. So EXACTLY what is the error it says? | 19:59 |
| Flea_ | Well, i'm getting some support from the wine channel now. They intially turned me away but then someone else came in and said it was a bug and that I would need to install it from the source? | 20:00 |
| * jarnos just lost audio when he installed gnome-media in Karmic. Uninstalling does not help. | 20:01 | |
| charlie-tca | pdg1: ask SiDi when he's around. | 20:05 |
| pdg1 | thanks charlie-tca | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca | Now the problem is to catch up with SiDi | 20:58 |
| simple_ | hi there | 21:18 |
| simple_ | how can i install my microsoft media center edition keyboard set on ubuntu | 21:18 |
| vinnl | !keyboard | 21:19 |
| ubottu | To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts | 21:19 |
| vinnl | Hmm, should just work I suppose | 21:19 |
| simple_ | no it doesnt work yet | 21:21 |
| simple_ | i install lirc | 21:21 |
| simple_ | trying | 21:21 |
| charlie-tca | Might be one of those hardware items that not everything will work. Maybe you can only use it as a keyboard? | 21:21 |
| simple_ | i think i found a solution | 21:24 |
| simple_ | just trying, if i can, i will inform you | 21:24 |
| jj3 | hi guys. i am trying to set up xubuntu on a poweredge sc1450. the hard drive is not seen in hardware raid 1. | 21:41 |
| chippanfat | using ubuntu server 9.04, with xubuntu desktop installed, I have an ethernet cable in the back but the icon at the top of the screen next to the time says that the machine isnt connected to the internet, I tried editing the /etc/network/interfaces file to see if my dns address was wrong but thats all fine. Any one have any idea ? :( | 21:42 |
| charlie-tca | chippanfat: that's because the network manager in 9.04 is looking at the wireless connections and DHCP only | 21:43 |
| charlie-tca | It is possible to have a good connection with the icon showing you have none | 21:44 |
| chippanfat | charlie-tca: how would i go about sorting that out? :) and it cant display any pagess | 21:44 |
| charlie-tca | How do you connect? Do you use a static IP? | 21:45 |
| chippanfat | charlie-tca: in firefox that is. last time i had this problem i just unplugged and plugged the ethernet cable back in | 21:45 |
| charlie-tca | Sounds like it worked, right? | 21:45 |
| chippanfat | charlie-tca: thats what i done on my ftp server | 21:45 |
| chippanfat | charlie-tca: and i'm trying to set up a proxy server this time, and i'm having no luck with the connections | 21:46 |
| chippanfat | charlie-tca: i know how to set a static Ip, but at this point in time it is still dynamic | 21:46 |
| charlie-tca | I think to set that up, you have to set up the firewall, don't you? | 21:46 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu has no open ports as installed, so if you need to, you have to open the port for the proxy | 21:47 |
| chippanfat | charlie-tca: sorry, i've not explained it rightt. its still a fresh install of ubuntu server 9.04 with the gui installed ontop. But i've been trying to get the connection to work for most of the night | 21:48 |
| charlie-tca | jj3: you may find the poweredge hardware raid doesn't work at all in this. You would then have to use a software raid instead, I think | 21:48 |
| charlie-tca | chippanfat: I set all of mine up static | 21:49 |
| chippanfat | charlie-tca: is it worth me trying that first? :) | 21:49 |
| charlie-tca | I would. Don't you plan to use static ip's? | 21:50 |
| chippanfat | charlie-tca: I do :) all the machines are static and my ftp server is static | 21:51 |
| chippanfat | charlie-tca: but i'm trying to sort this net connection before I start doing the other stuff :) | 21:51 |
| charlie-tca | Then why would you expect this one to connect without setting that up? | 21:51 |
| charlie-tca | You need to set it up first. | 21:51 |
| chippanfat | charlie-tca: awhh right, the only reason i thought i was in a pickle is because when i started doing the ftp server, the connection was detected straight away and the icon showed me that it was connected too | 21:52 |
| chippanfat | charlie-tca: then i started going about static ip's and installing gadmin | 21:53 |
| jj3 | can anyone help me? | 21:53 |
| charlie-tca | NM lies | 21:53 |
| charlie-tca | jj3: you may find the poweredge hardware raid doesn't work at all in this. You would then have to use a software raid instead, I think | 21:53 |
| charlie-tca | Also, jj3, the server section might be more help on that. You can ask them on freenode at #ubuntu-server | 21:54 |
| charlie-tca | jj3: We don't have much experience here with poweredge | 21:54 |
| jj3 | can i use the redhat or suse drivers on xubuntu | 21:54 |
| charlie-tca | Not that I know of | 21:54 |
| jj3 | why not | 21:55 |
| charlie-tca | I don't think it is compatible | 21:55 |
| charlie-tca | You can try if you want, but I don't think it will work | 21:56 |
| knome | charlie-tca, maybe with the driver source and hacking skills? | 21:56 |
| charlie-tca | You might ask in #ubuntu-server | 21:56 |
| charlie-tca | knome: if you have the skills, anything is possible. People have even upgraded from debian-unstable to xubuntu. That doesn't mean it is supported, and it doesn't mean I can. | 21:57 |
| charlie-tca | Thus, "I don't think it..." | 21:57 |
| knome | well of course you could write the drivers for ubuntu on your own, but maybe porting existing drivers would still be easier | 21:57 |
| charlie-tca | Comes back to the same thing. Can I use...? not that "I" know... | 21:58 |
| * charlie-tca thinks that "not that I know" indicates lack of knowledge by me | 21:59 | |
| knome | well what DO you know anyway ;) | 21:59 |
| knome | mm, some prepared juice | 21:59 |
| charlie-tca | knome: can you help jj3 on the poweredge raid issue? | 22:00 |
| knome | charlie-tca, no, not really. | 22:00 |
| knome | i lack knowledge as well :) | 22:00 |
| BeepBeep | How does one change the name of a "Workspace" in the panel? | 22:25 |

| becker_11 | hey charlie-tca | 22:56 |
| charlie-tca | Hello, becker_11 | 22:56 |
| becker_11 | I'm looking for a way to mount my windows drives in xubuntu when I had gnome installed they showed up in the places menu and when I clicked on them I had to supply a password to mount them but nothing like that seems to be included in Xu | 22:58 |
| charlie-tca | xubuntu is slightly more work. You create the directory where you want to mount them, then add them to fstab, then they should automoutn | 23:02 |
| becker_11 | charlie-tca, okay I'm not too familiar with the file system yet is there a place I should mount the drives? the prefered folder or something? | 23:04 |
| knome | becker_11, /mnt or /media would be "preferred"/"usual" | 23:04 |
| knome | no limit though. | 23:05 |
| becker_11 | thanks knome | 23:05 |
| * charlie-tca thinks spilling the coffee today was really bad | 23:05 | |
| knome | charlie-tca, um? :) | 23:05 |
| becker_11 | charlie-tca, you shouldn't waste coffee mate | 23:06 |
| charlie-tca | spilled my coffee and broke the cup doing it. All over my desk; two keyboards, 1 monitor, 1 mouse, two speakers | 23:06 |
| charlie-tca | Seems to have broken things | 23:06 |
| knome | charlie-tca, sorry to hear. | 23:06 |
| charlie-tca | me too | 23:06 |
| charlie-tca | Hate wasting the coffee (hated breaking the cup even) | 23:07 |
| * charlie-tca thinks in all fairness, the desk needed to be cleaned | 23:07 | |
| * becker_11 thinks coffee isn't the best cleaning agent :-) | 23:08 | |
| charlie-tca | it depends... it was hot, it was black, no sugar | 23:09 |
| charlie-tca | and the desk is dark brown | 23:09 |
| charlie-tca | :-) | 23:09 |
| knome | hehe | 23:09 |
| knome | good choice then | 23:09 |
| becker_11 | ma grandma always had black coffee but I've never liked it ..... | 23:10 |
| charlie-tca | It is a plus when you spill it. Sugar is real sticky | 23:10 |
| becker_11 | true | 23:11 |
| charlie-tca | of course, the phone, speakers, etc, did not care either way | 23:11 |
| becker_11 | okay I found a ubuntu tutorial for adding files to the fstab and created the folders etc and mounted everything but the mount points are empty | 23:28 |
| becker_11 | here is the fstab line I entered /dev/sda1 /media/win_c ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_AU.utf8 0 0 | 23:28 |
| charlie-tca | you remembered to add /media/win_c as directories? | 23:28 |
| becker_11 | yeah | 23:29 |
| charlie-tca | in terminal, enter 'mount -a' | 23:29 |
| becker_11 | seems to have worked | 23:29 |
| charlie-tca | Then it should work when you restart | 23:30 |
| becker_11 | awesome! opened thunar and everything is there | 23:30 |
| charlie-tca | but if it don't... | 23:30 |
| charlie-tca | :-) | 23:30 |
