| bigredradio | Since the most recent update my wireless drops frequently. I ran "watch iwconfig" and noticed that the IEEE and the Frequency kept changing. Anyone seen this? | 03:24 |
| bigredradio | IEEE 802.11a then goes to IEEE 802.11abg | 03:24 |
| bigredradio | Like it can't make up it's mind. | 03:25 |
| bigredradio | s/it's/its/g | 03:25 |
| pleia2 | bigredradio: I can't say for sure, but sounds like a driver issue, do you know what wifi card you have? | 03:31 |
| bigredradio | Looking it up now | 03:31 |
| bigredradio | pleia2, NetXtreme BCM5732 | 03:32 |
| pleia2 | I don't actually know a ton about wifi (thankfully my cards "just work") but hopefully once you have that info either someone else will know or it'll give you some info to search ubuntuforums.org with | 03:32 |
| pleia2 | ah, broadcom | 03:32 |
| bigredradio | I have the proprietary driver loaded. | 03:32 |
| bigredradio | Yeah. | 03:32 |
| * pleia2 nods | 03:32 | |
| bigredradio | Worked fine in the past. | 03:32 |
| bigredradio | (Better Question) I have noticed my wireless driver (driver=wl0 driverversion=5.60.48.36) is alternating between 802.11a and 802.11abg. The configuration from lshw shows wireless=IEEE 802.11a. Can this be set manually to g rather than automatic? | 04:23 |

| nicofs | in my program menu there is an application i'd like to start from console - only i don't know how that application is called as the name given in the menu is not that of the application... how do i do this? | 11:30 |
| Sysi | try 'apropos name' | 11:31 |
| Sysi | or something other words you could hit it, apropos is search tool | 11:31 |
| nicofs | is there any way to directly access what's in the menu, i.e. adding a "sudo" before the command...? | 11:32 |
| Sysi | menu config is in /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu | 11:37 |
| nicofs | oh dear... it points to some sort of *.directory... i think i might have to untangle how that works... | 11:48 |
| nicofs | how do i search a file on my HD? | 11:50 |
| nicofs | ok... i found out | 11:55 |
| nicofs | i resign. another problem that's not meant to be solved... | 11:58 |

| maxtor | why hibernation is very slow | 12:58 |
| maxtor | MS Windows does a better job. it just wakes blazing fast compared to the slow wake up of linux | 12:58 |
| maxtor | wondering if there are hacks to increase the speed of linux hibernation wake up time | 12:59 |
| slow-motion | hi | 12:59 |
| maxtor | i'm apt-getting "hibernate" package. i hope that's smarter way of doing things | 13:01 |
| maxtor | i'm connected? | 13:08 |
| Niglop | how do i burn DVD files(audio and video ts) to disc, (NO NOT WRITE THEM, BURN..) | 13:24 |
| ikonia | Niglop: you where told in #ubuntu - don't start in here too | 13:24 |
| ikonia | Niglop: use the DVD software to burn as data | 13:24 |
| Niglop | oh my god.. i already told you brasero doesnt burn video ts files | 13:25 |
| Niglop | it burns iso | 13:25 |
| ikonia | it will burn video fles | 13:25 |
| Niglop | OK let me check shall i | 13:25 |
| ikonia | gnome discussion is not in this channel | 13:25 |
| Niglop | OH .. what do you know | 13:25 |
| Niglop | it doesnt let me | 13:26 |
| Niglop | um im actually using xubuntu | 13:26 |
| Niglop | who said anything about gnome? | 13:26 |
| Niglop | BRASERO DOES NOT BURN VIDEO TS FILES | 13:26 |
| ikonia | it does | 13:27 |
| ikonia | I'm doing it now | 13:27 |
| Niglop | OH REALLY.. | 13:27 |
| Niglop | care to walk me through it | 13:27 |
| ikonia | yes | 13:27 |
| ikonia | no | 13:27 |
| Niglop | what? | 13:27 |
| ikonia | "no I don't care to walk you through it" | 13:27 |
| ikonia | it's as simple as dragging the folders you want to burn into the burn area and clicking burn | 13:28 |
| Niglop | thanks for the support | 13:28 |
| Niglop | there is no burn area on my screen. | 13:28 |
| ikonia | please post a screen shot | 13:28 |
| Niglop | http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/3918/screenshotic.png | 13:29 |
| ikonia | click on the "create a project" | 13:29 |
| ikonia | select the type of project you want to use | 13:30 |
| Niglop | there is no "create a project"..? | 13:30 |
| ikonia | yes there is - it lists the types of projects you can create under the heading "create a new project" | 13:31 |
| Niglop | yes you didnt tell me which one to click | 13:31 |
| ikonia | which ever one you want to use | 13:31 |
| Niglop | i want to burn video ts files | 13:31 |
| Niglop | no button for that.. | 13:31 |
| ikonia | yes, but when someone in #ubuntu tried to explain the differnce between burning as data files and burning for use in a DVD player you abused them | 13:32 |
| Niglop | i already knew the difference | 13:32 |
| ikonia | however, using common sense look at the video project, it actually says "create a video DVD" | 13:32 |
| Niglop | and no i abused you for pointing out the obvious | 13:32 |
| ikonia | in that case you'll know how to do it | 13:33 |
| Niglop | i dont want to create a DVD i want to BURN one | 13:33 |
| ikonia | you need to create a DVD to burn one | 13:33 |
| ikonia | you're creating a new DVD project made out of files you already have | 13:33 |
| Niglop | I ALREADY HAVE THE DVD.. | 13:33 |
| Niglop | HENCE VIDEO TS FILES | 13:33 |
| Niglop | WHICH IM ASKING HOW TO BURN | 13:33 |
| ikonia | yes, so you create a new DVD out of the files you have | 13:33 |
| Niglop | yes | 13:34 |
| ikonia | so you "create a video DVD" | 13:34 |
| Niglop | i totally disagree, but im going to do what you say JUST INCASE i am wrong | 13:34 |
| Niglop | ok now what | 13:34 |
| ikonia | I'm not wasting any more time with you and your attitude | 13:34 |
| ikonia | best of luck | 13:34 |
| Niglop | i just told you im going to do what you say and then you have a mood swing.. | 13:35 |
| Niglop | thanks | 13:35 |
| Niglop | im glad to see the linux community excelling | 13:35 |
| Niglop | SO .. can anybody else help | 13:36 |
| well_laid_lawn | you are kidding... | 13:37 |
| Niglop | are you sure of that..? | 13:37 |
| _Techie_ | okay lets stop this now | 13:37 |
| * gnomefreak doesnt see any problem or wrong on ikonia part to the info he gave you | 13:37 | |
| _Techie_ | Niglop, whats the DVD? | 13:37 |
| Niglop | are you asking me the name of the movie? | 13:38 |
| Niglop | lol | 13:38 |
| _Techie_ | Niglop, answer the damn question | 13:38 |
| Niglop | I WOULD IF I UNDERSTOOD IT | 13:38 |
| well_laid_lawn | heh | 13:38 |
| Niglop | hence me asking a question in return | 13:38 |
| gnomefreak | more than likely it has write protection on it | 13:38 |
| _Techie_ | Niglop, what is the name of the movie you are copying | 13:38 |
| Niglop | avatar | 13:38 |
| _Techie_ | Niglop, well lemme see, last time i check we dont support illegal activities... that includes piracy | 13:39 |
| _Techie_ | it is also against freenode terms | 13:39 |
| Niglop | who said it was the one from the cinema? | 13:39 |
| _Techie_ | so please take your buiseness elsewhere | 13:39 |
| Niglop | my and my little brother created a play called avatar | 13:39 |
| gnomefreak | we dont | 13:39 |
| Niglop | ^ | 13:39 |
| gnomefreak | Niglop: than you should have a local copy of it and it will burn without issue | 13:40 |
| Niglop | i do have a local copy | 13:40 |
| Niglop | I DONT KNOW HOW TO BURN IT | 13:40 |
| Niglop | obviously | 13:40 |
| gnomefreak | Niglop: i suggest taking this to a different IRC server | 13:40 |
| Niglop | yous keep pointing out WHAT i SHOULD do.. but not actually telling me how to do it | 13:40 |
| gnomefreak | Niglop: stop with the caps. and everyone has told you how to do it but you fail to agree or listen | 13:40 |
| well_laid_lawn | if it is a .ts then you need to make a .iso out of it | 13:41 |
| Niglop | im obviously pissed off | 13:41 |
| well_laid_lawn | like ikonia was trying to get you to do | 13:41 |
| Niglop | nobody has told me how to do it | 13:41 |
| ikonia | Niglop: create DVD project, drag the files in click burn - all done | 13:41 |
| Niglop | they are just saying "burn it | 13:41 |
| ikonia | Niglop: end of discussion | 13:41 |
| gnomefreak | Niglop: than i suggest leavving and coming back when you calm down | 13:41 |
| Niglop | clicking burn creates an iso | 13:41 |
| Niglop | i dont want to create an iso | 13:41 |
| Niglop | i want to burn video ts files | 13:41 |
| ikonia | Niglop: look at the output file | 13:41 |
| Niglop | IM looking | 13:41 |
| ikonia | you want your output to be TS files | 13:42 |
| ikonia | ahhhh | 13:42 |
| Niglop | ? | 13:42 |
| ikonia | you've not got the ts_audio files | 13:42 |
| ikonia | is that what you are saying | 13:42 |
| ikonia | you want to make them | 13:42 |
| Niglop | no.. i already have them | 13:42 |
| ikonia | you want to create the video_ts and audio files, | 13:42 |
| knome | ikonia, no, he has .ts files he wants to burn to a dvd. | 13:42 |
| knome | *+them | 13:42 |
| ikonia | so create DVD project, drag to area, set output to DVD or iso file, click burn | 13:42 |
| Niglop | when dragging it in: "Avatar" is not suitable for audio or video media. | 13:42 |
| ikonia | Niglop: because it's copy projected | 13:43 |
| Niglop | define copy projected | 13:43 |
| ikonia | or is this the one your brother made ? | 13:43 |
| knome | Niglop, protected | 13:43 |
| Niglop | YEAH its the one my brother made | 13:43 |
| ikonia | Niglop: movies you buy have protection on to stop them being copied | 13:43 |
| ikonia | Niglop: you have to bypass it | 13:43 |
| ikonia | Niglop: however if your brother made this movie then he'll know the copy protection he put on it and you can ask him to remove it | 13:44 |
| gnomefreak | Niglop: it can not be burtned legally so it is the movie not your project. now please leave or stop this topic | 13:44 |
| Niglop | he put it on accidently, he just told me he clicked a random option | 13:44 |
| Niglop | he wants to know how to remove it | 13:44 |
| ikonia | Niglop: ask him to remake the DVD without it | 13:44 |
| gnomefreak | delete it like any other file/folder | 13:44 |
| ikonia | Niglop: removing copy protection is illegal and we will not discuss it here | 13:44 |
| Niglop | he said it took 9 hours to render on our slow intel celeron computer | 13:44 |
| Niglop | he said he doesnt want to wait any longer | 13:45 |
| ikonia | Niglop: that's not our problem, he should be more careful | 13:45 |
| Niglop | he should | 13:45 |
| knome | Niglop, we are not going to give you instructions how to remove a copy protection. | 13:45 |
| gnomefreak | Niglop: now stop! | 13:45 |
| ikonia | I guess we are done here | 13:45 |
| ikonia | Niglop: you've got the info, good luck | 13:45 |
| gnomefreak | we are | 13:45 |
| knome | agreed | 13:45 |
| Niglop | stop acting like the riaa is sitting in the chan spectating | 13:45 |
| ikonia | Niglop: we are not, it's your brothers movie, he can remove the protection | 13:45 |
| ikonia | sopt ? | 13:45 |
| _Techie_ | youll have to explain that for me aswell | 13:46 |
| knome | "stop" | 13:46 |
| _Techie_ | lol | 13:46 |
| gnomefreak | opps | 13:47 |
| gnomefreak | stop is correct | 13:47 |
| knome | ...aaand he scores 10 points! | 13:47 |
| ikonia | hed get a lot more help if he was honest | 13:47 |
| knome | sure | 13:47 |
| _Techie_ | agreed | 13:47 |
| knome | or actually trying to follow the instructions.. | 13:48 |
| gnomefreak | its the non-legal aspect | 13:48 |
| dahaic | ikonia: tbh, I am pretty surprised you tried to help him with his attitude, | 14:01 |
| ikonia | it's all sorted now | 14:02 |

| profus2 | test | 19:32 |
| profus2 | can somebody help me out | 19:33 |
| Sysi | out of IRC or something else? | 19:33 |
| profus2 | installed xubuntu, logged in, updated software and after newstart can not login anymore? | 19:33 |
| profus2 | pretty annoying :-( | 19:34 |
| Sysi | where it's stopping? | 19:34 |
| profus2 | login screen is presented to me | 19:37 |
| profus2 | but my password is not accepted anymore | 19:37 |
| Sysi | it says authentication failure? | 19:38 |
| profus2 | yes | 19:38 |
| profus2 | I did reboot the system several times and tried to login, but to no avail | 19:39 |
| profus2 | what can be done? reinstall? | 19:39 |
| Besogon | profus2, may be you could log in in safe mode | 19:45 |
| profus2 | ? | 19:45 |
| Besogon | and make new user | 19:45 |
| profus2 | how could that be done? | 19:46 |
| Sysi | if you can get to root shell in failsafe mode you can change password | 19:46 |
| Besogon | reboot and chose "safe mode" then you should use useradd command | 19:46 |
| Sysi | hold shift while/before boot | 19:47 |
| profus2 | i have "dual boot" installation | 19:51 |
| profus2 | so first I see grub screen, telling me linux 2.6.32.23 generic or 2.6.32.21 generic | 19:52 |
| profus2 | and of cours the old xp | 19:53 |
| profus2 | default is the first one | 19:53 |
| profus2 | when choosing the first one an holding SHIFT there is no change in login screen as compared to before | 19:53 |
| Sysi | shift is for getting menu, that's not visible by default if you don't have dualboot | 19:55 |
| profus2 | so what should I do: as a first time linuxer I have no clue | 20:00 |
| profus2 | what do you mean: "if you can get to root shell in failsaife mode, you can change passowrd"? | 20:00 |
| profus2 | password was functional before software update | 20:00 |
| profus2 | very strang | 20:01 |
| profus2 | e | 20:01 |
| profus2 | is this a known problem? | 20:01 |
| Sysi | you don't have any failsafe option in boot menu? | 20:02 |
| Besogon | may be PAM sistem broke. But i's very strange.. | 20:03 |
| Besogon | Stop. Which kernel did you use when update? | 20:03 |
| Besogon | profus2, | 20:03 |
| profus2 | there is something calle recovery mode | 20:04 |
| Besogon | yes | 20:04 |
| profus2 | @besogon: i have no clue | 20:04 |
| Besogon | Did you tried to boot up from either kernels you have? | 20:04 |
| profus2 | I started the default, so I think 2.6.32.23 | 20:04 |
| profus2 | yes | 20:05 |
| profus2 | I tried both kernels | 20:05 |
| profus2 | no difference in behaviour | 20:05 |
| Besogon | So. Have you botted in safe mode (single user)? | 20:06 |
| Besogon | I yes. Go to shell | 20:07 |
| profus2 | I tried "failsafe mode" but there is no difference - can not log in | 20:07 |
| profus2 | arrived at shell | 20:09 |
| profus2 | how should I proceed | 20:09 |
| profus2 | ? | 20:09 |
| Besogon | Even in shell you can't assecc, can you? | 20:10 |
| Sysi | is it $ or #-shell? | 20:10 |
| Besogon | access | 20:10 |
| profus2 | the second | 20:10 |
| profus2 | one | 20:10 |
| Besogon | command line in safe mode I meant | 20:10 |
| profus2 | i went to recovery mode and the to rootshell | 20:11 |
| Besogon | ok | 20:11 |
| profus2 | root@nb2:# | 20:11 |
| profus2 | looks like this, without this funny sign | 20:11 |
| Besogon | Lets try to modify your user | 20:12 |
| profus2 | i can not reproduce | 20:12 |
| profus2 | ok | 20:12 |
| profus2 | could you help me with the command=? | 20:13 |
| profus2 | as far as I understood, the user at installation is admin? | 20:13 |
| Besogon | passwd login | 20:13 |
| profus2 | is this the command | 20:13 |
| profus2 | ? | 20:13 |
| Besogon | yes | 20:14 |
| Besogon | May be better passwd -u loginname | 20:14 |
| Besogon | With it you may rewrite your password rewrite | 20:15 |
| profus2 | it says: password expiry information changed | 20:15 |
| Besogon | OK reboot and login | 20:15 |
| profus2 | no clue, what this means | 20:15 |
| profus2 | i'll try | 20:15 |
| profus2 | no change | 20:17 |
| profus2 | I restarted, but not in recovery mode | 20:17 |
| profus2 | and entered the same passowrd | 20:17 |
| Besogon | Press Ctrl+F1 | 20:17 |
| Besogon | then try to log in | 20:18 |
| profus2 | when | 20:18 |
| Besogon | with your user | 20:18 |
| Besogon | Don't reboot. | 20:18 |
| Sysi | you can do same as before but type 'passwd <yourusername>' | 20:18 |
| Besogon | But at this time he have to write current password | 20:19 |
| profus2 | Ctrl+F1 does not change anything | 20:19 |
| Sysi | ctrl alt f1 | 20:19 |
| profus2 | at rootshell I type in "password -u username | 20:20 |
| Besogon | profus2, listen. can you connect to your user from the command line bing not in safe mode? | 20:21 |
| profus2 | ok, logged in at shell, how to proceed | 20:21 |
| profus2 | @besogon: ctrl alt f1 brought me to the shell, there i logged in | 20:22 |
| profus2 | what to do now? | 20:22 |
| profus2 | looks like the graphical user interface has a problem - right? | 20:22 |
| Besogon | One thing I suggest you. If you are connected to internet you can update agai. May be It will change the situation | 20:23 |
| profus2 | now, i am at the shell | 20:23 |
| Besogon | yes. and it's strange | 20:23 |
| profus2 | how to go back to a more graphical environment | 20:24 |
| profus2 | or should I do the update via shell and if so how? | 20:24 |
| Besogon | ctrl+alt+F7 | 20:24 |
| Besogon | yes. via shell | 20:24 |
| profus2 | same problem | 20:24 |
| profus2 | if I go back to shell | 20:25 |
| profus2 | no login | 20:25 |
| profus2 | possible | 20:25 |
| profus2 | :-( | 20:25 |
| Besogon | Firstly. how do you connect to internet? Do you use ethernet? | 20:25 |
| profus2 | yes, via router | 20:25 |
| profus2 | we are talking about notebook which is connected to the router | 20:25 |
| profus2 | through the router | 20:26 |
| Besogon | type ifconfig | 20:26 |
| Besogon | Connect to your router via a wire. It will be easyer | 20:26 |
| profus2 | ok, what would you like to check | 20:26 |
| profus2 | its connected via cable, not WLAN | 20:27 |
| profus2 | i can see its ip-adress | 20:27 |
| profus2 | in the local "network" | 20:27 |
| Besogon | fine | 20:27 |
| Besogon | you see "eth0" interface, don't you? | 20:28 |
| profus2 | yes | 20:28 |
| Besogon | So try "sudo apt-get update" | 20:29 |
| Besogon | then "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 20:30 |
| Besogon | What's going on? | 20:31 |
| profus2_ | i was kicked out of the chat | 20:31 |
| profus2_ | or i lost the chat whatever, sorry | 20:31 |
| profus2_ | which means I did not / could not follow your reply *ashamed* | 20:32 |
| Besogon | "sudo apt-get update" | 20:32 |
| Besogon | "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 20:32 |

| profus2 | password is not accepted | 20:33 |
| profus2 | :-( | 20:33 |
| Sysi | sudo service gdm stop && sudo aptitude --purge reinstall gdm | 20:35 |
| Besogon | he is right | 20:36 |
| Besogon | but does service gdm exist now? | 20:36 |
| zerothis | can firefox's resource use be reduced? | 20:36 |
| Besogon | I'm using old system now | 20:37 |
| Besogon | yes | 20:37 |
| Besogon | zerothis, but. It's don't give you real advantage | 20:38 |
| Sysi | zerothis: install adblock-plugin | 20:38 |
| Besogon | look for it on site Aurora OS | 20:38 |
| Sysi | if you need light browser, midori has adblock too, chromium is light too | 20:39 |
| profus2 | @Besogon: it asked me for password, which was not accepted | 20:39 |
| profus2 | so i logged out | 20:39 |
| Sysi | websites just aren't lightweight anymore | 20:39 |
| profus2 | now, i can't log in anymore | 20:39 |
| Besogon | profus2, Sysi said you what to do | 20:39 |
| zerothis | already have adblock and noscript. its still straining my 128MB Pentium dinosaur | 20:39 |
| profus2 | when? | 20:39 |
| Besogon | zerothis, to get really fast FF Firefox should be build using PGO | 20:40 |
| Besogon | Like it's done for Windows | 20:40 |
| Sysi | firefox can't be fast on 128MB, propably anything can't | 20:41 |
| Besogon | zerothis, https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Building_with_Profile-Guided_Optimization | 20:41 |
| Besogon | I very idle person and don't programmer at all and I accostumed to my slower FF | 20:42 |
| Besogon | why don't they build FF with PGO for all Linux-users I don't know. Of cource it would be not so stable but much faster | 20:44 |
| Sysi | FF is fast on my dual core and ssd :P | 20:45 |
| Sysi | and fast enough on my netbook | 20:46 |
| Besogon | May be you have only one such netbook as for my netbook it's false. My netbook's freezing for half a minute after start FF | 20:47 |
| Sysi | it also works pretty well on my 701 | 20:48 |
| zerothis | sysi, lots of browsers are fast on this system, but they are non-graphical OR do not function with gmail | 20:48 |
| profus2 | last question: how can I remove xubuntu from my system? | 20:52 |
| Besogon | ) | 20:53 |
| Besogon | profus2, Do you want remove only xubuntu -desktop or delete linux itself? | 20:55 |
| profus2 | with no logon to the system, looks like the whole thing is pretty worthless | 20:56 |
| Besogon | Don't haste. be patient. To too hate it at first few mounth but that was 2 years ago | 20:56 |
| profus2 | login problem should be a kernel issue, so other desktop should be no solution | 20:57 |
| Besogon | Go sleep and reinstall it tomorrow. But I suggest you ,as you are a novice, use to gnome or KDE environtment | 20:57 |
| profus2 | how do I reinstall ----> boot from CD and just overwrite it? | 20:58 |
| Sysi | that | 20:58 |
| profus2 | do you know how much time I wasted with this baby? | 20:58 |
| Besogon | yes. Just like you do it with windows | 20:58 |
| Sysi | idk, i've wasted like 2 years | 20:59 |
| profus2 | lol | 20:59 |
| Sysi | but i loved it from the first boot, i still hate xp so much.. | 21:01 |
| Besogon | bocouse windows is too different. And it requires time to accustom to philosofy and possibility of linux | 21:02 |
| Besogon | Sysi, Didn't you try W7? | 21:02 |
| Sysi | yeah, it's okay | 21:02 |
| Sysi | but i don't have reason to use something less nice and paymentfull or warez | 21:03 |
| profus2 | I am used to Windows more then a decade, so it seems pretty easy to me | 21:03 |
| Besogon | but I didn't. I'm not interested. (there is not nesessity for that) | 21:03 |
| Besogon | Win7 costs too much for me either | 21:04 |
| profus2 | interestingly, the most promising feature of linux (one-click installation of all programms) killed my system | 21:05 |
| Besogon | ) | 21:05 |
| Besogon | It never happened for me. But yes. sometime it happends | 21:06 |
| Besogon | with somebody | 21:06 |
| Sysi | i use command line always | 21:07 |
| ridin | \ / | 21:07 |
| Sysi | yum is best way to install software IMO, fedora just don't like my hardware very much | 21:08 |
| Besogon | Sysi, What do you think about Suse? | 21:10 |
| Sysi | not good for xfce-user | 21:11 |
| Sysi | zypper and yast are pretty nice | 21:11 |
| Sysi | i can use kde, but it takes hours to configure | 21:12 |
| profus2 | @sysi & Besongon: you wouldn't believe it - i did a replay of the hints you gave me and succeeded ---- yeah | 21:32 |
| profus2 | one question: how can I see data on the ntfs partion from within xubuntu? | 21:33 |
| Sysi | btw, don't put @ in front of lines if you want to hilight, it propably don't hilight on many users | 21:33 |
| Sysi | !mount | 21:34 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 21:34 |
| profus2 | thank you very much for your help | 21:35 |
| likemindead | !ntfs | 21:35 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 21:35 |
| nikolam | this stupid thunar does not know about multitasking. while deleting file I can not browse until it finish it. | 21:57 |

| kenasper | and i can copy-paste to text boxes but most text boxes do not receive my typed text | 23:36 |
| Sysi | alt+f2 and type xfwm4 | 23:36 |
| kenasper | thanks! | 23:37 |
| rolandpish | Hi. I installed xubuntu lucid and I want to configure my wireless manually. I removed network manager and tried configuring net manually on /etc/network/interfaces (succeeded always in my ubuntu) but when I restart networking nothing happens. What is the net conf file in xubuntu? | 23:49 |
| rolandpish | Oh, sorry for the noise. Stupid myself, forgot the "auto eth1". My bad. | 23:55 |
