[10:13] <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
[10:14] <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
[10:16] <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
[10:17] <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
[10:18] <Sysi-> then you can browse there with filemanager
[10:19] <Sysi-> oh it's YOU :P
[10:19] <_Techie_> yeah
[10:20] <_Techie_> its me
[10:21] <_Techie_> i need to shutdown and install a different secondary ethernet card, ill be back very soon
[10:30] <smallflame> okay
[10:30] <smallflame> how do I check what devices are connected to my USB ports?
[10:31] <Sysi-> lsusb
[10:31] <smallflame> it detects the flash drive
[10:32] <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?
[10:33] <Sysi-> !info hal
[10:33] <Sysi-> sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install hal ;for example
[10:36] <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
[10:37] <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
[10:38] <smallflame> now what?
[10:38] <Sysi-> reboot, usb should work as ment
[10:42] <microbalrog> back after reboot
[10:42] <microbalrog> Installed hal
[10:42] <microbalrog> no good
[10:42] <Sysi-> hum
[10:45] <_Techie_> !hal
[10:47] <microbalrog> So what you're telling me is, I have a USB and no way to get files from it to the hard drive?
[10:49] <Sysi-> !mount
[10:53] <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
[10:56] <Sysi-> /dev/sdXX is the device
[10:56] <microbalrog> I did it
[10:56] <microbalrog> it works now
[10:56] <MalkavianManiac> gratz microbalrog
[10:57] <microbalrog> I'm probably going to tak to my fiancee about any further stuff I have
[11:48] <qotsa> I want to enable autologin in gdmsetup, when I press the Unlock button in gdmsetup, nothing happens.
[11:49] <qotsa> Everything is greyed out.
[11:50] <Sysi-> have you tried opening that window again from menu?
[11:55] <qotsa> it works from the menu, strange...
[12:00] <Sysi-> some issue with gksu
[12:01] <knome> Sysi-, gksudo
[12:02] <Sysi-> started from terminal both work
[12:06] <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 :)
[12:08] <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
[12:09] <pteague> i'd understand if it was 10 minutes maybe, but it's been almost 2 hours ;)
[12:09] <knome> mind filing a bug?
[12:10] <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
[12:11] <pteague> knome, thanks... couldn't remember & all my data is in software raid void until i get mdadm installed
[12:26] <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
[18:30] <slow-motion> hi
[18:40] <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?
[18:44] <aosys> ok i will try #ubuntu since there is not much going on here
[18:45] <Besogon> aosys, I can help you if you need it. It's very comman problem anyway.
[18:50] <aosys> Besogom: ok thanks.
[18:51] <aosys> What do you think I should do to install Xubuntu with out destroying the C:\ partition that contains XP?
[18:52] <drizzt_> aosys, providing XP partition hold all your work, then yes
[18:53] <Besogon> ok. now before all you decide how many space you need for xubuntu and how many FREE disk space you have
[18:54] <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
[18:55] <aosys> besogon: what will the sizes of the 2 new partitions be? what will C:\ partition new size be?
[18:56] <Besogon> aosys, If I right undestand you you have disk C: and 30Gb free space over it
[18:56] <aosys> yes
[18:57] <Besogon> you need swap partition (ideally it should be equal the size of your RAM)
[18:58] <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
[19:00] <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
[19:01] <aosys> besogon: will you be here later? like in an hour?
[19:02] <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
[19:03] <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.
[20:46] <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
[20:48] <Sysi-> !panels
[20:49] <rethus> Sysi-: great, works
[20:49] <rethus> would it start automaticly next time?
[20:51] <Sysi-> at least if you check "save session" tap on logout
[20:52] <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
[22:38] <aosys> hey can anyone assist me with installing dual-boot Xbuntu 10.04?
[22:43] <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.
[22:44] <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.
[22:46] <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
[22:47] <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?
[22:49] <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
[22:53] <aosys> backups? backups of my HD?
[22:54] <Sysi-> backup of important data at least
[22:57] <aosys> i understand.
[23:02] <aosys> when you created your dual-boot, how big did you make your swap partition?
[23:04] <Sysi-> about same as my ram
[23:04] <aosys> and how much was your RAM?
[23:06] <Sysi-> 1gb
[23:10] <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)?
[23:11] <Sysi-> well, i don't use windows almost at all, but i made separate partition for /home
[23:12] <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?
[23:13] <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
[23:14] <charlie-tca> If /home is part of the /xubuntu partition, I lose everything when I re-format it
[23:15] <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
[23:16] <charlie-tca> and again
[23:18] <charlie-tca> Just ask in here. It is okay
[23:24] <slow-motion> n8
[23:33] <Kangarooo> what this means in synaptic showing xfce4 and xfce4-screenshooter plugin not installed? look top left screenshooter icon there it is http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot732.php
[23:35] <mr_pouit> because it's a transitional package
[23:35] <mr_pouit> the "real" package is xfce4-screenshooter
[23:36] <Kangarooo> ah ok. and xfce4 ? i have default x 10.04 from web dl on this comp 3weeks ago
[23:36] <Kangarooo> xfce4 shows also not installed
[23:36] <Kangarooo> in the same screenshot
[23:37] <mr_pouit> it's not a problem either
[23:37] <Kangarooo> ah ok
