smallflame | Hello good sirs | 10:13 |
smallflame | I have a small issue with my Xubuntu | 10:13 |
smallflame | when I plug in a flash drive, it mounts ( I can see it when I check through Terminal) | 10:13 |
smallflame | but there is no flash drive icon anywhere | 10:13 |
smallflame | so if anybody can tell me how to either copy from flash drive using a command line or how to make an icon show somewhere | 10:14 |
smallflame | that'd be great | 10:14 |
smallflame | thanks | 10:14 |
Sysi- | how do you check it's mounted? | 10:16 |
well_laid_lawn | if it has a mount point then cp -v /mount/point/file /where/you want/it | 10:16 |
smallflame | I don't actually remembr how I did Sysi | 10:16 |
smallflame | I did it last night and my girlfriend talked me through it | 10:17 |
Sysi- | "mount" shows if it's mounted and where | 10:17 |
MalkavianManiac | damnit Sysi- you beat me to "mount" | 10:17 |
smallflame | and right now she's not online and of course my cle about Linux is equal to zero | 10:17 |
Sysi- | then you can browse there with filemanager | 10:18 |

_Techie_ | i need to shutdown and install a different secondary ethernet card, ill be back very soon | 10:21 |
=== MalkavianManiac is now known as _Techie_ | ||
smallflame | okay | 10:30 |
smallflame | how do I check what devices are connected to my USB ports? | 10:30 |
Sysi- | lsusb | 10:31 |
smallflame | it detects the flash drive | 10:31 |
smallflame | but it doesn't mount it or anything | 10:32 |
Sysi- | fresh xubuntu install? | 10:32 |
smallflame | yes | 10:32 |
Sysi- | install "hal" | 10:32 |
smallflame | what is hal and how do I install it? | 10:32 |
Sysi- | !info hal | 10:33 |
ubottu | hal (source: hal): Hardware Abstraction Layer. In component main, is optional. Version 0.5.14-0ubuntu6 (lucid), package size 356 kB, installed size 1652 kB | 10:33 |
Sysi- | sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install hal ;for example | 10:33 |
smallflame | how I stop all processes? | 10:36 |
smallflame | I tried to get that first command, but it got stuck at 99% | 10:36 |
smallflame | then I closed Terminal and reopened it | 10:36 |
smallflame | and now it's giving me this: | 10:37 |
smallflame | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 10:37 |
smallflame | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 10:37 |
smallflame | aaaand I tried again and it seems to be working | 10:37 |
smallflame | and done | 10:37 |
smallflame | now what? | 10:38 |
Sysi- | reboot, usb should work as ment | 10:38 |
microbalrog | back after reboot | 10:42 |
microbalrog | Installed hal | 10:42 |
microbalrog | no good | 10:42 |

microbalrog | So what you're telling me is, I have a USB and no way to get files from it to the hard drive? | 10:47 |

microbalrog | I ddon't understand Sysi | 10:53 |
microbalrog | how does the system "know" which device I am mounting? | 10:53 |
MalkavianManiac | if you ask nicely im sure Sysi- wouldnt mind guiding you through the mounting process, hes usually a really nice guy | 10:53 |
Sysi- | /dev/sdXX is the device | 10:56 |
microbalrog | I did it | 10:56 |
microbalrog | it works now | 10:56 |
MalkavianManiac | gratz microbalrog | 10:56 |
microbalrog | I'm probably going to tak to my fiancee about any further stuff I have | 10:57 |
qotsa | I want to enable autologin in gdmsetup, when I press the Unlock button in gdmsetup, nothing happens. | 11:48 |
qotsa | Everything is greyed out. | 11:49 |
Sysi- | have you tried opening that window again from menu? | 11:50 |
qotsa | it works from the menu, strange... | 11:55 |
Sysi- | some issue with gksu | 12:00 |
knome | Sysi-, gksudo | 12:01 |
Sysi- | started from terminal both work | 12:02 |
pteague | heh, apparently clicking the "clicking here" link in the installer for joining the irc chat stalls the installer | 12:06 |
knome | pteague, no?! i've seen people join before from there, so it might be a something-specific bug :) | 12:06 |
pteague | knome, i was just screwing around & noticed i was at 86% when i clicked it, was kind of annoyed at seeing a browser for irc... anyways i started googling for various things, got busy reading some articles, & wondered why i wasn't yet getting the pop up about rebooting... | 12:08 |
pteague | installer was still at 86% <.< | 12:08 |
knome | hm, weird | 12:08 |
pteague | i'd understand if it was 10 minutes maybe, but it's been almost 2 hours ;) | 12:09 |
knome | mind filing a bug? | 12:09 |
knome | pteague, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity | 12:10 |
knome | pteague, seems that is a bit old page, but there's maybe some information about what you could attach | 12:10 |
pteague | knome, thanks... couldn't remember & all my data is in software raid void until i get mdadm installed | 12:11 |
pteague | well great, stuck at 82% & i can't kill the process... guess i reboot & run ubiquity from the shell... maybe if i stop playing with stuff it won't die | 12:26 |
slow-motion | hi | 18:30 |
aosys | greetings. im installing xubuntu 10.04 on my older laptop right now and i am at step 4 where i have choosen to manually partition my disk because i want a dual boot with xp. the problem is that i have no idea what i am doing here and i do not want to destroy my xp partition (loose data and all). what should i do? | 18:40 |
aosys | ok i will try #ubuntu since there is not much going on here | 18:44 |
Besogon | aosys, I can help you if you need it. It's very comman problem anyway. | 18:45 |
aosys | Besogom: ok thanks. | 18:50 |
aosys | What do you think I should do to install Xubuntu with out destroying the C:\ partition that contains XP? | 18:51 |
drizzt_ | aosys, providing XP partition hold all your work, then yes | 18:52 |
Besogon | ok. now before all you decide how many space you need for xubuntu and how many FREE disk space you have | 18:53 |
aosys | I have about 30 GB free on the c:\ partition | 18:54 |
drizzt_ | sorry what is the easiest hex editor/viewer in ubuntu? | 18:54 |
Besogon | If you have only one disk C:/ on your hard disk you should split it in 3 part. 1) resize C;/ and make 2 new partitions | 18:54 |
aosys | besogon: what will the sizes of the 2 new partitions be? what will C:\ partition new size be? | 18:55 |
Besogon | aosys, If I right undestand you you have disk C: and 30Gb free space over it | 18:56 |
aosys | yes | 18:56 |
Besogon | you need swap partition (ideally it should be equal the size of your RAM) | 18:57 |
Sysi- | some recommendation is twice × ram | 18:58 |
aosys | so do i still need to resize my C? | 18:58 |
Besogon | but if yor ram more than 1Gb I think there is no need make it more then 700Mb. | 18:58 |
aosys | my ram is 512mb | 18:58 |
Besogon | Sysi-, What for? All Ram records in swap. and swap disn't used in real work only it needs for hybernate mode | 19:00 |
Besogon | let's you swap be 512Mb. | 19:00 |
aosys | i am confused. where i would do the swap partion? at step 4 under manual? | 19:00 |
Besogon | it's enaugh | 19:00 |
Besogon | enough | 19:00 |
aosys | besogon: will you be here later? like in an hour? | 19:01 |
Besogon | I can't say it in clear way. but if all installers for ubuntu are the same then chose "master" mode for partitioning your hard disk | 19:02 |
Besogon | yes. | 19:02 |
aosys | ok. well the xubuntu installer actually is different than ubuntu | 19:02 |
aosys | thanks for your help so far. i will be back soon. | 19:02 |
cody-somerville | They are? | 19:02 |
aosys | yeah | 19:02 |
aosys | ubuntu has 3 options. | 19:03 |
cody-somerville | Both use Ubiquity AFAIK | 19:03 |
charlie-tca | I think it is in the translations here | 19:03 |
aosys | at step 4, there are 3 options in ubuntu. only 2 in xubuntu. | 19:03 |
aosys | be back soon. | 19:03 |
rethus | Hi. my task-bar on the top of the desktop is away... how can i get it back? | 20:46 |
rethus | xubuntu 10-04 | 20:46 |
Sysi- | !panels | 20:48 |
ubottu | Did your panels disappear? Press alt+f2 and run: xfce4-panel | See also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels | Want to theme your panels? See http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/howto-set-a-background-image-for-your-panel/ | 20:48 |
rethus | Sysi-: great, works | 20:49 |
rethus | would it start automaticly next time? | 20:49 |
Sysi- | at least if you check "save session" tap on logout | 20:51 |
rethus | ah, therefor it was not loaded this time.. cause the panel was crashed... and i thougt a restart bring it up again... but i never notice that this checkbox is on the logoutpanel. thanks for this advice | 20:52 |
aosys | hey can anyone assist me with installing dual-boot Xbuntu 10.04? | 22:38 |
aosys | my laptop has XP on its only partition which is C:\. when i load the Xubuntu 10.04 installer i can get to step 4 and then i am stumped. i do not want to choose the first option which is to install Xubuntu which it says will erase my entire C:\ partition. | 22:43 |
aosys | the second option, manage partitions manually, is highly confusing. for each option it seems like there is a warning that my C:\ partition will get corrputted. | 22:44 |
Sysi- | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Partitions | 22:46 |
aosys | Ultimately what I'd like to do is to have 2 30gb partitions. 1 for XP & 1 for Xubuntu. Any ideas on how to accomplish this with out damaging my XP partition, and or loosing data? | 22:46 |
Sysi- | always when resizing partition is risk of data loss | 22:46 |
Sysi- | expesially if partition is fragmented | 22:46 |
aosys | I see, I suppose that is why they advise to defrag one's HD before | 22:47 |
aosys | thanks, i shall read this page now and come back in a bit. by the way, have you gone through this process? | 22:47 |
Sysi- | i haven't shrink windows partition but i have made dualboot by deleting partition and played "~much" with partitoning | 22:49 |
Sysi- | you know backups are also always recommended | 22:49 |
aosys | backups? backups of my HD? | 22:53 |
Sysi- | backup of important data at least | 22:54 |
aosys | i understand. | 22:57 |
aosys | when you created your dual-boot, how big did you make your swap partition? | 23:02 |
Sysi- | about same as my ram | 23:04 |
aosys | and how much was your RAM? | 23:04 |
Sysi- | 1gb | 23:06 |
aosys | i see. so when you created your dual-boot did you create 2 partitions (1 for Ubuntu & 1 for Swap)? or did you create 3 partitions: (1 for Ubuntu, 1 for Swap& 1 for data)? | 23:10 |
Sysi- | well, i don't use windows almost at all, but i made separate partition for /home | 23:11 |
aosys | this page says its a good idea to make a 3rd for data but why? why not just have your data (/home) be together with Xubuntu? | 23:12 |
charlie-tca | aosys: if /home (data) is separate and I want to remove xubuntu and install Ubuntu, I don't lose any data | 23:13 |
charlie-tca | I don't have to re-format a separate /home partition to format the installation partition | 23:13 |
charlie-tca | If /home is part of the /xubuntu partition, I lose everything when I re-format it | 23:14 |
aosys | charlie-tca: i see. | 23:15 |
charlie-tca | aosys: Apparently something failed on that DCC CHAT. When I hit approved, it refused the connection | 23:15 |
charlie-tca | and again | 23:16 |
charlie-tca | Just ask in here. It is okay | 23:18 |
