[10:51] <hexdump_> Hi, I'm having a problem with my display.  I'm unable to see my desktop menu
[10:52] <hexdump_> does anyone know the terminal command to access system config or the command to change my desktop appearance?
[10:58] <deathcannon> hexdump_: you mean your right-click menu or the panel?
[11:00] <hexdump_> the toolbar or whatever at the top usually
[11:00] <hexdump_> applications places system
[11:00] <hexdump_> or applications and places
[11:01] <hexdump_> I don't see how it could be a resolution problem, because it was fine not too long ago
[11:09] <hexdump_> I dunno this is weird
[11:10] <hexdump_> yeah there is nothing at the top and bottom of my screen
[11:12] <deathcannon> then just start xfce4-panel from the terminal
[11:12] <hexdump_> thanks
[11:15] <hexdump_> hey that worked out just fine thanks again
[11:18] <deathcannon> hexdump_: has happened to me too ;)
[11:20] <hexdump_> deathcannon:  any explanation why?
[11:20] <hexdump_> if it happens again I'll just have to place that command in startup.
[11:24] <deathcannon> well for me i managed to save my session with the panel closed
[11:25] <deathcannon> so when it would start up there would be no panel
[11:34] <hexdump_> oh sorry
[11:34] <hexdump_> I was gone.
[11:35] <hexdump_> deathcannon:  yeah when I boot up there is no panel that's what's happening to me.
[11:39] <dario> qualcuno mi può aiutare con il supporto lingue? ho xubuntu mezzo italiano e mezo inglese :|
[11:41] <rww> ubottu: it | dario
[11:41] <ubottu> dario: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare)
[11:41] <dario> sorry :)
[12:18] <hexdump_> is there a way to only download the gnome-language-selector ?
[13:23] <Devilsprey99> hey can anyone help me with automounting external usb hardrive with 3 ntfs partitions at boot
[15:37] <mtrg> i screwed up my xubuntu for unknown reasons
[15:42] <mtrg> i killed gdm, and attempted to run startfce4 manually from command line
[15:43] <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
[15:44] <mtrg> for lack of flexiblity, i decided to go Gentoo, and build my own system
[15:45] <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
[16:37] <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?
[16:38] <residentgrey> <- is noob
[19:26] <mtrg> xubuntu uses grub2?
[19:54] <mtrg> does Xubuntu use grub2?
[20:00] <charlie-tca> yes, mtrg
[21:25] <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?
[21:29] <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...
[21:31] <charlie-tca> Have them boot the recovery menu, and then try the "clean" option to free some space
[21:37] <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
[21:38] <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
[21:51] <Dynetrekk> I removed some of the log files, trying to reboot now
[21:52] <Dynetrekk> the /var/log was 15 GB for a 20 GB / partition
[21:52] <Dynetrekk> thanks for the help
[22:06] <charlie-tca> You are welcome
[23:40] <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 ?
[23:42] <rww> faron: install this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable , then run a regular update
[23:42] <faron> okee dokee
[23:44] <faron> rww can you tell me how to install that ?
[23:45] <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..............
[23:47] <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
[23:48] <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"
[23:49] <rww> apart from that, it should be fine
[23:49] <faron> indeed...I have learned that
[23:49] <faron> thanks very much
[23:59] <faron> rww you still there by chance ?
[23:59] <rww> faron: yup
