| hexdump_ | Hi, I'm having a problem with my display. I'm unable to see my desktop menu | 10:51 |
| hexdump_ | does anyone know the terminal command to access system config or the command to change my desktop appearance? | 10:52 |
| deathcannon | hexdump_: you mean your right-click menu or the panel? | 10:58 |
| hexdump_ | the toolbar or whatever at the top usually | 11:00 |
| hexdump_ | applications places system | 11:00 |
| hexdump_ | or applications and places | 11:00 |
| hexdump_ | I don't see how it could be a resolution problem, because it was fine not too long ago | 11:01 |
| hexdump_ | I dunno this is weird | 11:09 |
| hexdump_ | yeah there is nothing at the top and bottom of my screen | 11:10 |
| deathcannon | then just start xfce4-panel from the terminal | 11:12 |
| hexdump_ | thanks | 11:12 |
| hexdump_ | hey that worked out just fine thanks again | 11:15 |
| deathcannon | hexdump_: has happened to me too ;) | 11:18 |
| hexdump_ | deathcannon: any explanation why? | 11:20 |
| hexdump_ | if it happens again I'll just have to place that command in startup. | 11:20 |
| deathcannon | well for me i managed to save my session with the panel closed | 11:24 |
| deathcannon | so when it would start up there would be no panel | 11:25 |
| hexdump_ | oh sorry | 11:34 |
| hexdump_ | I was gone. | 11:34 |
| hexdump_ | deathcannon: yeah when I boot up there is no panel that's what's happening to me. | 11:35 |

| Devilsprey99 | hey can anyone help me with automounting external usb hardrive with 3 ntfs partitions at boot | 13:23 |
| mtrg | i screwed up my xubuntu for unknown reasons | 15:37 |
| mtrg | i killed gdm, and attempted to run startfce4 manually from command line | 15:42 |
| mtrg | it failed claiming some drivers are missing | 15:43 |
| mtrg | i started startxfce4 as root, but worked | 15:43 |
| mtrg | i rebooted, and gdm is no longer able to let me in | 15:43 |
| mtrg | gdm shows me login screen, i login, stuf load, but again returned to gdm's login screen | 15:43 |
| mtrg | for lack of flexiblity, i decided to go Gentoo, and build my own system | 15:44 |
| mtrg | what I want is, a CLI login, that starts X11 for me. | 15:45 |
| mtrg | the ugly thing about xubuntu, is multiple GUIs start inconsistently | 15:45 |
| mtrg | this causes few blinks | 15:45 |
| residentgrey | mine keeps giving me hi temp | 16:37 |
| residentgrey | it shuts down every time now | 16:37 |
| residentgrey | mtrg you know how to set the theme for qt and gtk programs on there? | 16:37 |
| residentgrey | <- is noob | 16:38 |
| mtrg | xubuntu uses grub2? | 19:26 |
| mtrg | does Xubuntu use grub2? | 19:54 |
| charlie-tca | yes, mtrg | 20:00 |
| Dynetrekk | hi. I have remote access to someone's (non-computer-literate person) xubuntu machine. he claims the machine blacks out immediately after graphical login. does anyone have a clue what the problem might be? | 21:25 |
| Dynetrekk | the hard-drive of my troubled computer seems to be full! http://paste.pocoo.org/show/188120/ any general advice? I thought 20GB would be plenty for the system files... | 21:29 |
| charlie-tca | Have them boot the recovery menu, and then try the "clean" option to free some space | 21:31 |
| Dynetrekk | charlie-tca: you mean apt-get clean? I have ssh to it btw | 21:37 |
| Dynetrekk | that cleaned out 200 MB | 21:37 |
| charlie-tca | If you are doing it remotely, you don't get the menu | 21:37 |
| charlie-tca | You would probably have to do more. check in /var/log and see how big the logs grew. Most can be removed and will automatically rebuild themselves when the system restarts | 21:38 |
| charlie-tca | Also, check the /tmp folder | 21:38 |
| Dynetrekk | I removed some of the log files, trying to reboot now | 21:51 |
| Dynetrekk | the /var/log was 15 GB for a 20 GB / partition | 21:52 |
| Dynetrekk | thanks for the help | 21:52 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 22:06 |
| faron | Hello everybody.Hopefully,all are well today.I need some help.I am currently running Xubuntu 8.04LTS & I woould like to install the new Firefox but,at this point I'm just lost as to what to do.I have downloaded the package onto my desktop & that's as far as I've gotten.Is there anybody here who can guide me from this point in the installation process ? | 23:40 |
| rww | faron: install this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable , then run a regular update | 23:42 |
| faron | okee dokee | 23:42 |
| faron | rww can you tell me how to install that ? | 23:44 |
| rww | faron: click the "Read about installing" link on that page, scroll down to "On older (pre 9.10) Ubuntu systems" on the page that pops up, follow those instructions | 23:45 |
| faron | yes I've actually been there.............. | 23:45 |
| faron | I got lost on step 1 "visit the ppa's overview page in launchpad" I couldn't find a link to that | 23:47 |
| rww | faron: the PPA overview page is the page I linked you to | 23:47 |
| faron | hmmmmmm okay then I'll give it another go | 23:48 |
| rww | faron: the line you'll end up copying is "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu hardy main" (you don't really need the deb-src line). You could copy that and skip to step 4 | 23:48 |
| faron | thanks | 23:48 |
| rww | and you might need to do "gksudo mousepad" instead of "sudo gedit" | 23:48 |
| rww | apart from that, it should be fine | 23:49 |
| faron | indeed...I have learned that | 23:49 |
| faron | thanks very much | 23:49 |
| faron | rww you still there by chance ? | 23:59 |
| rww | faron: yup | 23:59 |
