| tonytraductor | hi | 03:18 |
| tonytraductor | My friend somehow hosed her xfce so that the desktop seems to not be funcitioning, no icons, no click on the desktop, no window decorations | 03:19 |
| tonytraductor | only for her acct. on the computer | 03:19 |
| tonytraductor | not being a regular xfce user (I prefer openbox or wmii), I'm not sure how to repair what she did (don't know what or how she did to make it this way) | 03:20 |
| tonytraductor | there is no problem with xfce for other accts., so I know she reconfigured something, by accident in the congids for xfce4 or xfwm4 or xfce-desktop....I don't know | 03:21 |
| tonytraductor | hola, estoy aqui solo | 03:22 |
| tonytraductor | also, one can not switch desktops in xfce | 03:22 |
| tonytraductor | oh...looks like she made is so xfwm4 does not start when she logs in | 03:23 |
| tonytraductor | maybe I can figure this out. | 03:23 |
| owen1 | no audio with HDMI. should i try upgrade alsa or upgrade my kernel? thanks! | 04:07 |
| manbra | Hello | 08:33 |
| manbra | I can't find instructions to install xubuntu 10.4 from SD card on a eeepc 1000HA, anyone have a link? | 08:33 |
| well_laid_lawn | from sd card? | 08:34 |
| manbra | Yes, I have no USB card, my plan is to DL the iso on my laptop, mount the ISO on the SD card, then install from that | 08:34 |
| manbra | I've done it before, just don't remember how :| | 08:34 |
| manbra | Not sure if I just dragged the ISO over, or mounted it, or have done something : | | 08:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | !install | maybe something here | 08:35 |
| ubottu | maybe something here: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 08:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | http://tinyurl.com/3exghs | 08:36 |
| manbra | :) | 08:36 |
| manbra | Thank you, | 08:36 |
| manbra | Would the comp detect the SD card as USB? | 08:36 |
| manbra | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OnNFSDriveWithLocalBoot | 08:38 |
| manbra | Not sure if this is it : | | 08:38 |

| meowmix | how do i uninstall xubuntu with a grub and dual boot if i can not get into xubuntu? | 08:44 |
| manbra | Fuuu | 08:48 |
| manbra | Woot, think I got it | 09:07 |
| manbra | I got unetbootin, allowed it to exec as a program, now it's getting the xubuntu iso for me and should write it on the SD card | 09:08 |
| manbra | I think | 09:08 |
| heoa | how to save simple shell output in bash: GETME=$( df -h ); echo $GETME <-- s\thing like this? | 10:21 |
| Sysi | echo $getme > file | 10:22 |
| heoa | Sysi: you did not find my question stupid. Sorry about stupid question, it actually works like that. | 10:24 |
| Sysi | easy solution doesn't mean question is stupid | 10:26 |
| zaib | can anyone tell me that grub 1.98 is grub 2 or not | 10:34 |
| Sysi | it is | 10:34 |
| zaib | thanks | 10:35 |
| zaib | hi i am zaib, i have install xubuntu on 60 GB of 80 GB hard disk and left 20 GB for Windows xp ,now i want to install xp but i am afraid that after i install xp on the spared 20 GB i wont be able to boot xubuntu ,can some one tell me how to dual boot ! | 10:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | installing windows second means you will have to reinstall grub - this link should tell how | 10:46 |
| well_laid_lawn | !grub2 | 10:46 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 10:46 |
| zaib | i have grub 2 , tell me what to do after installing xp | 10:47 |
| Sysi | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202 | 10:48 |
| zaib | i have a alternate cd ,can i install Grub 2 from it after installin xp | 10:55 |
| Sysi | hmm, if you know how to use it | 10:56 |
| Sysi | you need to get to menu of it, and skip everything else but installing grub | 10:57 |
| Sysi | and i'm not sure if it works | 10:57 |
| zaib | to enter the main menu in which all the installation steps are i have to ? | 10:59 |
| Sysi | iirc there is some button for "last screen" | 11:01 |
| zaib | should i try the alternate cd method or try to understand the live cd method ,as i also have a live cd but cant understand that method in the link you have given me | 11:06 |
| zaib | helooooooo Sysi | 11:15 |
| Sysi | use gparted to see what /dev/sdXX is your partition | 11:15 |
| zaib | gparted ? | 11:15 |
| Sysi | mount it with command behind link | 11:15 |
| Sysi | menu → system → gparted | 11:16 |
| zaib | this is my second day with xubuntu or any linux | 11:16 |
| zaib | there no gparted in: menu → system → gparted | 11:17 |
| zaib | i am using xubuntu 10.04 | 11:18 |
| Sysi | hmm, it maybe isn't there anymore by default | 11:20 |
| Sysi | but you need to do it on that livedc | 11:20 |
| zaib | even if there gparted on the live cd , i dont know how to use it and if some thing goes wrong ,dont know anything | 11:25 |
| Sysi | you just start it and watch in what partiton your xubuntu installation is | 11:26 |
| zaib | is this the gparted you are talking about http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/screenshots.php | 11:29 |
| Sysi | yes | 11:32 |
| Sysi | fdisk -l does the same but in terminal | 11:32 |
| zaib | now what i do , i have written fdisk -l in terminal and it is sayin something | 11:41 |
| Sysi | it requires sudo as said in howto i linked | 11:42 |
| zaib | ya i have also writen sudo | 11:42 |
| zaib | i think it is saying 4 partition | 11:43 |
| Sysi | are you on livecd? | 11:43 |
| zaib | no | 11:43 |
| zaib | i thought some practise will be helpfull | 11:45 |
| Sysi | yeah, but you need to check those when using livecd | 11:45 |
| zaib | its is very complex for me i think i should try the alternate cd | 11:47 |
| zaib | and i have only 192 mb ram so the live cd will be very slow | 11:48 |
| Sysi | i say again that i'm not sure if alternate method works, but you can try | 11:48 |
| zaib | ok thanks i will try the alternate cd methode and if does work than will install a fresh copy of xubuntu | 11:50 |
| zaib | thanks sysi for your time , i appreciate it very much :) | 11:55 |
| heoa | how are startup programs configured in xubuntu? | 12:58 |
| Sysi | settings → session&startup; cron @reboot; sysv-rc-conf | 13:01 |
| juxindawoods | Can I not has "full screen task switcher" (The Exposé on OS X) with xubuntu | 15:15 |
| juxindawoods | I'm getting an Samsung N210 netbook and I want to have Linux but there is no proper full screen task switcher for Kubuntu, there is one for Ubuntu (Skippy).. Is there one for xubuntu | 15:16 |
| juxindawoods | I'd really like to have xubuntu | 15:16 |
| Sysi | only available with compiz, what ubuntu uses | 15:18 |
| Sysi | kubuntu do has same kinda switcher | 15:18 |
| juxindawoods | Sysi: I heard there was a program called "Skippy" that does it on Ubuntu | 16:07 |
| juxindawoods | Compiz is eyecandy | 16:07 |
| Sysi | you can get that with compiz, maybe skippy too | 16:09 |
| Sysi | compiz has 80% of features you can get with gnome | 16:09 |
| juxindawoods | I'd like to have Xubuntu but I cannot survive without a full screen task swithcer | 16:10 |
| Sysi | you can use compiz with xubuntu | 16:10 |
| juxindawoods | I can? | 16:10 |
| juxindawoods | I thought it was a Gnome only thing | 16:11 |
| Sysi | http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/12/09/xubuntu-compiz-pretty-pretty-xubuntu/ | 16:12 |
| juxindawoods | tnx | 16:12 |
| Sysi | linux = anything with everything | 16:12 |
| slow-motion | hi | 16:13 |

| Sysi | i'll try that :) | 16:14 |

| nubix | Hi, does someone know why the brightnesssettings dont work with ubuntu xfce? (I'm using ubuntu10.04 with xfce at an eeepc 1101ha) | 18:12 |
| Sysi | the hotkeys? | 18:15 |
| nubix | nothing... The indicator says im reducing the brightness, but nothing happens | 18:16 |
| nubix | i only works when the xserver is not running | 18:16 |
| nubix | I don't get it. I'm using Fn+F5/F6 to change the brightness. It works until I start the xserver | 18:18 |
| nubix | does no one have a clue? | 18:25 |
| Kungfood | hello all | 19:21 |
| Kungfood | prepare for questions from a linux idiot | 19:21 |
| Kungfood | here goes | 19:21 |
| Kungfood | i recently decided to install xubuntu on an old laptop because ubuntu was too heavy for it, the machine is a pIII 1ghz, 256 mb ram, with an (ugh) trident gfx chip. xbuntu installd fine, took a fw hours to run the update manager, hen shut it down late last night | 19:23 |
| Kungfood | this morning when i turn the machine on, it posts, boots, gives me the keyring login, then goes blank | 19:24 |
| Kungfood | the screensaver will run after a while, but when it goes off, nothing, blank screen | 19:24 |
| Kungfood | if i bring up the logout screen and log back into the main account, i can get the desktop background to show, but no UI | 19:25 |
| Kungfood | ah very good, an active helpful channel... | 19:31 |
| Sysi | irc isn't really online, it just looks like it would be | 19:32 |
| pleia2 | !panels | 19:32 |
| 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/ | 19:32 |
| pleia2 | Kungfood: might just be that your panels disappeared :) | 19:32 |
| Kungfood | ill try that thx | 19:33 |
| Kungfood | ha, yup, got it back thx much | 19:34 |
| pleia2 | great | 19:34 |
| Kungfood | though my desktop is now missing | 19:34 |
| Kungfood | lol this is making it tough for me to try and learn linux when i cant get a distro to run well\ | 19:34 |
| Sysi | 256MB isn't much for modern OS | 19:35 |
| Kungfood | thats why i went with xubuntu, was reading that it would run just fine with 128 | 19:35 |
| MikeChelen | is it possible to make the window titlebars bigger? i have increased the window title font size, but the bar itself didn't scale | 19:59 |
| Sysi | change theme? setings → window manager | 20:00 |
| MikeChelen | they all seem to have approximately the same size title bars | 20:01 |
| MikeChelen | ok here is another question, is it possible to disable the multiple desktops feature? | 20:10 |
| MikeChelen | maybe workspace is the proper term | 20:11 |
| Sysi | settings → workspaces | 20:11 |
| Sysi | and you can remove switcher from panel | 20:11 |
| MikeChelen | ah great, thanks! | 20:13 |
| Sysi | np | 20:15 |
| twig | if i register for the ubuntu forums will it stop asking me what 1+1 equals? | 20:19 |
| twig | i keep telling it 11........... | 20:20 |
| Kungfood | quick question, when i do an ls -l | more(or less), it does not list entries colored by type...is there a way to get the |more to keep the colored list? | 22:07 |
| Kungfood | i know its stupid, but i dig the colored file types, makes it quick and easy | 22:07 |
| Sysi | it is about less prefences (sherlock), idk if it can have color highlights | 22:09 |
| emerson | I was trying to make a connection ssh user@localhost and I had a error port 22 ? | 22:26 |
| Sysi | localhost? | 22:27 |
| emerson | Sysi: yeah just to make a test ..bofore carry on with access over the internet | 22:27 |
| Sysi | it works for me | 22:28 |
| emerson | Sysi: but for me not ..Do you know wha could be ? | 22:28 |
| Sysi | do you have port 22 open in firewall and openssh-server installed? | 22:29 |
| emerson | Sysi: yeah.. | 22:29 |
| emerson | Sysi: did you run a test in your machine and worked then ? | 22:31 |
| Sysi | i've just used ssh after installing it | 22:31 |
| Sysi | i tried now and i could connect to localhost too | 22:32 |
| Sysi | i have no firewall, NAT | 22:32 |
| emerson | Sysi: sorry I have firestarter but my friend don't and he'd the same problem ? | 22:33 |
| emerson | Sysi:I mean he had the same problem..I mean... | 22:33 |

| twig_ | am trying to get xinerama working, as far as i can tell i have to add the +xinerama switch to the command to start X. Im not sure where to find that and the link i had found in the past that told me ive lost, ne suggestions? | 23:31 |
| well_laid_lawn | from here - http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 - half way down is the xorg.conf based stuff twig_ | 23:37 |
| twig_ | thanks | 23:39 |
| twig_ | do you have exp with it wll? | 23:56 |
| well_laid_lawn | I've written a few xorg.confs and it gives a good example for using two monitors at that link | 23:56 |
| twig_ | im not complelty comp-illetrate but i am really green to linux so im havin a bit of trouble getting through some of this | 23:57 |
| twig_ | xorg.conf is currently blank and when i run xrandr it doesnt show me my poss outputs it only says default | 23:59 |
| well_laid_lawn | the Xorg.0.log in /var/log will list the card name and driver | 23:59 |
| twig_ | id have to look the command up again but i ran a ls that showed all possible connections and both cards show up there | 23:59 |
| well_laid_lawn | and you can make a basic xorg.conf with Xorg -configure to get you started | 23:59 |
