This doesnot happen the first time but after the user logins after a time -interval of using his/her sessions? [09:29] maybe some problem with saving session [09:29] !panels [09:29] Did your panels disappear?

See http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/howto-set-a-background-image-for-your-panel/ [09:29] you/user could add that command to autostart [09:30] if saving session don't work [09:31] Sysi, the sessions are saved [09:31] Sysi, ok i will try to setup a auto start command [14:33] I just updated to 10.10, and am running into an issue with snd_hda_intel.

[16:56] * charlie-tca has none [16:57] i've heard about it [16:57] ..very little [16:57] Same here, Sysi... [16:58] The ext4 developer says that btrfs is the way forward. [16:58] i don't know what it actually is [16:59] http://duckduckgo.com/?q=btrfs [16:59] something bit like LVM? [17:00] some features [17:00] plus snapshots [17:04] as I understand it, the biggest thing is built-in ability to snapshot/restore the partitions [17:06] it's not *really* useful exept maybe for server [18:46] Hi there, I'm having trouble doing a fresh install of Xubuntu 10.04 on a PC with an Asus P6T and a Sapphire Radeon 5770 card...after I select "Install" from the bootloader I see the "xubuntu" logo for a moment and then the screen is black and nothing happens after that point. Any known problems with this hardware/solutions to this problem? [18:47] I'd try the alternate image (rather than the live desktop image). [18:48] Okay, downloading that. Any other special procedures I'd have to do with this image instead? [18:52] Nope. It just tends to go more smoothly. :D [18:52] Cool! === Snapshot is now known as Guest22563 [19:49] buonasera a tutti. e' la prima volta che lavoro su xubuntu, perdonate la domanda sciocca ma e' normale che non mi veda il secondo hard disk? come posso farglielo "montare" all'avvio? grazie [19:55] !it [19:55] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [19:59] soo sorry, I didn't know. bye [20:28] Hello, does anyone know how to set dolphin as default file manager in XUBUNTU? [20:30] ? [20:31] Tom22, Hi [20:32] Tom22, Applications > Settings > Xfce4 Settings Manager [20:32] Tom22, Click 'Preferred Applications' [20:32] Tom22, and then click the 'Utilities' tab [20:33] cody-somerville, hey. there's only Terminal Emulator in there, no file manager [20:33] Tom22, You should then be slect a default file manager from there. [20:33] Tom22, What version of Xubuntu are you running? [20:33] cody-somerville, it's crunchbang (which I believe is extremely closely related to ubuntu) with XFCE4 installed. [20:34] Try removing Thunar [20:34] Tom22, I'm not familiar with Crunchbag. You might try their support channel for additional help. [20:34] mark76, have done [20:34] And? [20:34] mark76 now when I try opening folders: [20:35] mark76 [20:35] Unable to launch "videos": [20:35] This feature requires a file manager service present (such as that supplied by Thunar). [20:35] Ah [20:36] cody-somerville, thank's for your help :) [20:36] mark76 any ideas? :| [20:36] Hang on [20:37] mark76 sure [20:38] Try this, but substitute Dolphin for PCManFM http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1051713 [20:38] thanks ;) I'll check that out [20:43] BRB [20:46] Incredible! I can't even get to the xfce desktop now [20:46] :| [20:47] the thread you told me about [20:47] leads me here [20:47] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-May/076983.html [20:47] What the hell did they do in Ubuntu to make it impossible to use xfce? [20:47] As root, edit the file /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml. Search for [20:47] "rox" and change it to "xffm". [20:47] Oh no. You don't don't want to do that [20:48] That's way old [20:48] oh yeah [20:48] 2006 [20:49] if you did the first 1: [20:49] sudo rm /usr/bin/thunar [20:49] sudo mv /usr/bin/thunar.save /usr/bin/thunar [20:49] ? [20:51] I didn't [20:51] I can't even get Xfce to work [20:51] *sigh* [20:51] maybe I should just go back to gnome ;P [20:51] Or KDE :p [20:51] hmm [20:51] What OS do you use? [20:52] why nautilus? [20:52] Erm... Rox [20:52] thunar ♥ best single-click ever [20:52] also works otherly [20:52] mark, rox = kde? [20:53] No [20:53] freebox? [20:53] It's based around the ROX file manager [20:53] But I do like to dip into Xfce every so often [20:53] Or I did before the Ubuntu devs broke it [20:54] haha [20:54] well [20:54] On this laptop [20:54] before, I had Kubuntu, KDE4. [20:54] and it just seemed slow, and buggy [20:54] Which version of KDE4? [20:55] kde4.0 was just horrible [20:55] I'm not sure? whatever version kubuntu 10.04 uses [20:55] That should be fine [20:56] Definitely not 4.0 [20:56] well [20:56] I had a problem with it, I posted on the forum [20:56] no one replied [20:57] What's wrong with Thunar? [20:58] Well [20:58] the initial reason I went over to XFCE, Is I wanted to try and customize my own computer the way I like it [20:58] from scratch [20:58] and I thought XFCE was the best DE for that, being basic [20:58] if you don't have skills.. :P [20:58] Thunar, was the first thing I Wanted to get rid of, because I really like Dolphin :P [20:59] I've been using Linux for about 6 years :P [20:59] but alot of things are stiill new to me, [20:59] So you know your way around it then [20:59] I dont fiddle as much as I should [20:59] to learn [20:59] Oh right [20:59] Have you tried LXDE? [20:59] i think i may have reached the point where i don't want to learn more [20:59] it's extremely confusing [21:00] haha [21:01] LXDE? Nope. I've tried; Gnome, KDE, XFCE, Freebox and that god awfull thing DSL uses. [21:02] What's Freebox? [21:03] Hi so after installing Xubuntu on a system with an Asus P6T mobo and a Sapphire ATI Radeon 5770 vid card, my monitors go into sleep mode after the "Xubuntu" splash screen shows for about a minute tops [21:03] Nothing shows up, suggesting an X server problem? [21:03] yeah [21:03] What can I do about that? [21:03] sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:03] fixed that for me [21:03] you need to use specific boot option.. [21:04] how can I do that when my system doesn't load...? [21:04] google knew [21:04] Debug boot option? [21:04] ctrl + alt + f1 [21:04] Ctrl + Alt + F1 doesn't work [21:04] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1463961 [21:05] schuyler_235135, select recovery console [21:05] schuyler_235135, in the GRUB menu [21:05] kk rebooting [21:05] schuyler_235135, and run the command I gave you [21:06] delete the xorg.conf file? [21:07] then restart x? [21:07] xorg.xonf shouldn't exit by default at all [21:07] then reboot [21:07] *conf [21:08] yeah xorg.conf didn't exist [21:09] so obviously can't remove something that doesn't exist [21:09] i'm looking through the thread but any other ideas? [21:09] maybe try and create it? [21:09] is there a default conf I should work with? :s [21:10] not to mention my vid card doesn't have any VGA on it [21:10] only DVI and HDMI [21:10] try this: [21:10] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [21:10] perhaps that's a reason why it's not showing anything? [21:11] no it's because of drivers [21:11] ahh [21:11] k i'll try that line [21:11] (Y) [21:12] hum, that's for installation [21:12] That showed nothing [21:12] At least, no verbose [21:13] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9675960&postcount=33 [21:14] so try failsafe graphics? [21:15] k that's working so far [21:15] *crossing fingers* [21:58] yo hows the xubu world out there doing today! [21:59] just great at my end [21:59] hows it going with you? [21:59] not too bad here, only one annoyance to speak of this week :) [22:00] oh good :P [22:00] and that annoyance is no longer annoying? [22:00] but that's what brings me here :) it's a computer annoyance and I need some help [22:00] haha [22:00] ah [22:00] I'll do my best :) [22:00] ok, I appreciate that :) I'll lay it out for ya [22:01] sure [22:01] I have a wireless adapter, USB, connecting this box to my wi-router. The adapters been rock solid for years, but recently it's been just disconnecting maybe once or twice a day and it won't reconnect until I physically pull it out and plug it bck in.. [22:03] Hm [22:03] this box is used for everything including my remote sessions from the outside world, so when I'm not home and it disconnects, I'm really put in a bad place :), I thought maybe the adapter was dying, but the dmesg output is really weird regardig the adapter so i thougth I'd try and fix it before replacing it [22:03] hmm, what's the make and model of the wifi adapter? [22:04] It's a belkin, USB- belkin F5D7050 [22:05] righto, give me a second ;) [22:05] http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=179211 [22:05] It really had problems with Windows, but on Linux I've never had any more solid wireless adapter, it rock-ed :) [22:07] And it worked out of the box? [22:07] yep [22:07] I'm using the WICD connection manager now, but that's just by choice. It never had a problem with drivers, or the stock wi-manager on xubuntu [22:09] Have you tried re-installing the driver through package manager? [22:11] I haven't, I access this machine via SSH 99%.. [22:11] Ah I see [22:11] no gui? [22:11] I'm a bit rusty on some stuff around here, I set this machine up and haven't had a problem for years so kinda forget how to work with it :), it does have a GUI though [22:12] Fatal server error: could not create lock file in /tmp/.tx0-lock [22:13] jmichelsen, don't worry [22:13] This happened after trying to tweak the card with some aticonfig stuff and setting RRand1.2 to false [22:13] is there any way I can start x back up fresh? [22:13] jmichelsen, we'll try command lind [22:14] Tom22_: sounds good, that's the way I prefer to work with it [22:14] jmichelsen, okay [22:14] schuyler_235135, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [22:16] Tom22_: that didn't work [22:17] there was no verbose from the command [22:17] and same error occured when trying to start X [22:17] jmichelsen, I wonder if Madwifi will help? sudo apt-get install mafwifi [22:18] Tom22_: Here's a pastebin with the dmesg output..this goes on for days http://pastebin.com/Seqzg0mV [22:18] Tom22_: I'll install madwifi though [22:19] jmichelsen, ok, there's no promise that it will work. Just trying to find a solution :) [22:19] Tom22_: I hear ya and appreciate your time [22:20] jmichelsen: [94616.436017] eth0: no IPv6 routers present [94625.520015] wlan1: no IPv6 routers present - Suggests to me that your router is playing up? It looses contact with the IPv6 router? Do you use IPv6? or just IPv4. [22:21] schuyler_235135, give me a sec [22:22] Tom22_: just IPv4 and my eth0 is actually going right into a TV Tuner, not to an active internet connection [22:23] schuyler_235135, I think this may be your solution: http://john-willis.com/2010/01/remove-and-reinstall-xserver-on-ubuntu-9-10/ [22:24] jmichelsen, can you post the output of: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces [22:25] Just to let you know, my internet's been playing up, so If I suddenly disconnect, Its gone again. Not just me being rude :P [22:26] Tom22_: :) no worries, same here as we are dealing with a flaky connection haha [22:27] ;) [22:27] Tom22_: http://pastebin.com/qA8iYNct the output [22:28] jmichelsen, is there a DHCP enabled on your router? [22:28] Tom22_: yes [22:28] jmichelsen. Are there other computers connected to the same router which use DHCP? [22:29] Tom22_: Yes, and I static this IP as it's my makeshift server so I don't want it changing. I don't trust the routers ability to static the addresses [22:31] jmichelsen, I may be wrong, but my router's DHCP tends to give out IPs in a low range: *.*.*.3 < for example. So is it possible that DHCP is assigning another computer with the same one that you've already assigned as a static to this server? [22:31] Nah I got xserver to work now [22:31] but now my ATI Graphics card isn't working properly [22:31] maybe run aticonfig? [22:31] I'd download the official ones [22:31] from their site [22:32] i did that [22:32] and ran it [22:32] automatic [22:32] but i might need to do aticonfig --initial [22:32] give it a try. All I know, is that ATI are notorious for rubbish linux support [22:33] indeed they are [22:33] AMD need to shape up a bit :P [22:35] I have MAD [22:35] AMD [22:35] Me too. Phenom X4 3.2GHz, and ATI HD 4890 [22:36] Tom22_: this router's DHCP is actually kinda funny and assigns higher IP's to new machines, but my network has been set up for a number of years, I wonder if that could have changed. None of the other machines, some wireless, are having issues [22:40] jmichelsen, I understand if you don't want to change the IP, but this is what I would do in your situation: "sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces" and change "192.168.1.2" to "192.168.1.19" or something (still remaining low, if your DHCP range is high). Then save the nano, and "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" Then just change the IP forwarding in your router to whatever you need. All that will change, is the IP, it will still func [22:40] jmichelsen, I've had a number of network connection problems before, nearly all of them were fixed by assigning the PC a fresh IP [22:41] Tom22_: i've got no problems trying it out :) did that dmesg make any sense though? [22:41] okay I've installed the ATI driver [22:41] but when trying to run aticonfig --initial [22:41] jmichelsen, It seemed as if the PC lost connection with the router. But the wifi dongle was still searching for something to connect to? :| it seems weird to me. [22:42] I get "Unable to find any supported Screen sections" [22:42] jmichelsen, which is why it makes me wonder about IP conflicts, the router might be denying it access [22:42] Tom22_: ok, changing it nnow, I may get disc [22:42] Tom22_: dosconnected [22:43] jmichelsen, no problems [22:43] schuyler_, it seems like your X server is well and truly screwed up. I'd suggest following the tutorial above: http://john-willis.com/2010/01/remove-and-reinstall-xserver-on-ubuntu-9-10/ [22:45] Nah it was the xorg.conf file [22:45] I deleted it and reran aticonfig --initial [22:45] It wrote a new xorg.conf file for me [22:46] Keep that link handy though, I'm gonna try a restart now [22:46] schuyler_, ok then it's written a scrn res which is too high for you, try editing it manually [22:49] K I'm booted in normal Xubuntu (yay) [22:49] but now I need to configure a dual-screen setu [22:49] *steup [22:49] *steup [22:49] wow. setup [22:50] amdcccle doesn't ever show a panel... [22:53] hello [22:56] geo hey [23:02] are you a long term xubuntu user? [23:06] geo, Ubuntu user - yes, Xubuntu, nope. [23:08] I'm in the same boat tom, have an old laptop that I put ubuntu on because gnome was too sluggish [23:09] geo, ah, I see. and you have a problem with xubuntu? [23:10] nope, no problems really, was just curious about finding some lighter programs [23:11] geo, I see. If you want to go even lighter than XFCE, you could always try DSL, Puppy Linux or Crunchbang Freebox DE [23:12] [mark76] welcome back mark [23:13] Hey Tom [23:13] I was just updating Seamonkey [23:13] Web-browser, advanced e-mail, newsgroup and feed client, IRC chat, and HTML editing made simple -- all your Internet needs in one application.

[23:15] Yep [23:15] It's in the repos [23:16] Well it is in mine [23:16] yeah, it's there I was just looking at it [23:17] cool [23:19] [mark76] Mark, you on this IRC every day? [23:21] I have it set to open automatically [23:21] So yeah [23:21] oh right [23:22] anyone have any ideas why my MP3s refuse to play with Totem and Amarok (Kubuntu) [23:22] I've installed good/bad/ugly gstreamers [23:24] none of my audio files work :( [23:25] mark76? [23:26] Do you get sound from other apps? [23:26] I get sound from the login screen [23:26] and when I unplug the cord [23:28] VLC Outputs no sound either [23:30] youtube in Firefox? [23:30] let me try [23:32] K [23:33] ahh [23:33] PCM volume was down [23:33] :P [23:33] thanks anyway [23:35] It's always something simple [23:35] I need a better mail alert sound [23:36] Mark, what country you live in? [23:37] GB [23:37] ah right [23:38] I'm in France. [23:39] I'm off to bed now [23:39] goodnight [23:39] take care [23:39] and thanks for your help [23:39] mark76 ;) [23:41] Night night :) [23:41] Sleep well [23:41] Thanks, you too ;) [23:59] ACPI: DRM connection failed; atiddxDriScreenInit failed, GPS not been initialized [23:59] this happened AFTER I performed all of the 200 and something updates for a fresh Xubuntu install [23:59] I have a feeling this could be fixed by downgrading, but does anyone know what?
