| ToStItOs | I have Lucid Lynx I can no longer drag and drop files from my music folder to my removable drive what could be some reasons why this has happened? | 01:05 |
|---|---|---|
| ToStItOs | By the way its a flash drive | 01:05 |
| linuxman410 | does anyone know why xubuntu has diffrent installer than ubuntu | 01:33 |
| St0n3-C0l | because it's been customized for Xubuntu as far as i know | 01:36 |
| St0n3-C0l | having help / slideshows for those installing Xubuntu | 01:36 |
| St0n3-C0l | But the basic foundation remains same... | 01:36 |
| andai | Can't move stuff around my panels | 01:40 |
| ToStItOs | I cant drag and drop files to my flash drive | 01:41 |
| Jerry | hello? | 01:41 |
| Jerry | I'm having trouble trying to install Ubuntu 10.10. Can someone help me? | 01:42 |
| St0n3-C0l | Tositos : Are you sure the files your trying to copy are on your home folder and you have access to it ? | 01:43 |
| St0n3-C0l | Access in mean - Even writing's access. | 01:44 |
| andai | how do i move the window list around | 01:44 |
| St0n3-C0l | window list around? | 01:44 |
| St0n3-C0l | what do u mean ? | 01:44 |
| andai | the bottom panel has a window list. I can't seem to move anything to the left of it (only to the right) | 01:45 |
| andai | i'm trying to get the Applications menu at the bottom left (a la windows) but i can't seem to move anything beyond the window list | 01:45 |
| ToStItOs | St0n3-C0l, Well I have mpg files in my music folder and everytime I drag them to the usb flash drive they go back to the music folder | 01:45 |
| andai | nor remove the window list (so i can add it again to the right) | 01:45 |
| St0n3-C0l | oh | 01:45 |
| andai | oh good, i removed Task List | 01:46 |
| St0n3-C0l | your right. | 01:46 |
| andai | lol now it's too far to the left | 01:46 |
| St0n3-C0l | so don't drag them TosItos - Why not use copy and paste? | 01:46 |
| St0n3-C0l | Yeah probably seems some problem with the panels | 01:47 |
| andai | Aha! it worked. But you have to be able to control your mouse down to 2 pixels to get it in the right area | 01:47 |
| andai | and you have to know exactly where to look | 01:47 |
| andai | lol | 01:47 |
| ToStItOs | St0n3-C0l, did that still didnt work | 01:47 |
| St0n3-C0l | yeah | 01:47 |
| andai | i think in gnome as soon as you drag an item past the center of another, it jumps to the other side of it | 01:47 |
| St0n3-C0l | TosItOs: Look to the normal ubuntu channel, some guy there told you about Permissions | 01:47 |
| St0n3-C0l | I guess it's more about Permissions than anything else. | 01:48 |
| St0n3-C0l | If you had root access then you may want to open Thunar as Root. | 01:48 |
| St0n3-C0l | And try copying on from there | 01:48 |
| St0n3-C0l | yeah andai but XFCE is not that bad with moving files in panels | 01:48 |
| St0n3-C0l | it's good as well | 01:48 |
| St0n3-C0l | anyways | 01:49 |
| St0n3-C0l | gotta go | 01:49 |
| St0n3-C0l | bye | 01:49 |
| ToStItOs | St0n3-C0l, I wonder why drag and drop doesnt work anymore | 01:49 |
| St0n3-C0l | not sure. I don't drag and drop. | 01:49 |
| andai | cya | 01:50 |
| andai | what does the Stick button do | 01:54 |

| andai | Moving a large file from a desktop to a folder on my desktop should be instant, right? | 02:03 |
| andai | Instead I think it's copying it, then deleting the old one | 02:03 |
| andai | is there a way to remove recommended packages | 02:04 |

| DSeese | I need help with installing ubuntu 10.10 for netbooks. | 11:36 |
| Sysi | this support channel for Xubuntu, but you can maybe try with enough generic question | 11:37 |
| DSeese | ok, I've delete and recreated a partition in fat32 and when I go to start I get a "No root file system is defined" message. | 11:38 |
| DSeese | It looks like a partitioning issue, but I can't figure out what. | 11:39 |
| Sysi | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStickQuick | 11:40 |
| Sysi | create ext4 partition and set mount point to / | 11:40 |
| Sysi | also create swap partition (more in manual) | 11:41 |
| DSeese | thanks | 11:44 |
| DSeese | That worked perfectly. It's installing now | 11:44 |
| johnny77 | I'm trying to edit the touchpad on my netbook, but when I go into the mouse setting and click on my touchpad the settings dont appear. | 14:46 |
| TheSheep | johnny77: try gsynaptics | 14:53 |
| johnny77 | TheSheep: thanks installing it now. | 14:55 |
| johnny77 | TheSheep: that worked thank you. | 14:58 |
| johnny77 | How can I edit the menu? | 14:59 |
| TheSheep | johnny77: what do you want to change? | 15:02 |
| johnny77 | TheSheep: I want to change the menu around a bit. I guess with Ubuntu and Kubuntu both already installed the menu ended up a little wonky. Just wanted to clean it up a bit. | 15:05 |
| TheSheep | johnny77: well, you can copy the .desktop files that define menu entries from /usr/share/applications/ to ~/.local/share/applications and edit them there to taste | 15:07 |
| TheSheep | they are simple text files | 15:07 |
| johnny77 | TheSheep: there is not an application that will do it, like in gnome or KDE? | 15:08 |
| TheSheep | johnny77: they are still working on that in xfce | 15:12 |

| allencch | hello, i am ubuntu user | 15:13 |
| allencch | i would like to know that is there anyway to switch to xubuntu, without fresh installation? | 15:14 |
| TheSheep | allencch: sure, just install the xubuntu-desktop package, and you will be able to select ubuntu or xubuntu at the login screen | 15:14 |
| allencch | TheSheep: thank you. but i have a lot of GNOME software, Xfce causes any problem of those software? | 15:15 |
| allencch | TheSheep: will Xfce cause any problem to those software? | 15:16 |
| johnny77 | TheSheep: thank you. | 15:16 |
| TheSheep | allencch: no, it will all work | 15:17 |
| allencch | TheSheep: Okay thanks. i ask this question because i read from a lot of forum mention that fresh installation is better, because there will be a lot of problem. | 15:18 |
| allencch | TheSheep: thank you very much | 15:18 |

| likemindead | HALP? I can't get my mic to work in Skype. Video is fine and I can hear the other person. ALSA versus PulseAudio is such a mess. Worked fine in Lucid, though... | 19:08 |
| likemindead | I tried three different mic input methods -- the webcam mic, the laptop's internal mic, and a headset too. Again, they all worked in Lucid, and none are coming through in Maverick. :-\ | 19:09 |

| fuge | hi | 19:59 |
| fuge | is there any easy way to replace the kernel? | 19:59 |
| likemindead | With what? | 20:04 |
| fuge | with another | 20:05 |
| Sysi | on what purpose? depends on what form you have kernel | 20:06 |
| likemindead | http://lmgtfy.com/?q=change+kernel+ubuntu | 20:07 |
| Sysi | likemindead: please not.. | 20:07 |
| fuge | :) | 20:07 |
| likemindead | I kid, I kid! | 20:07 |
| likemindead | (Also, there appear to be many relevant links there.) | 20:08 |
| Sysi | (yeah, that's the funniest part) | 20:08 |
| fuge | it is because i have a tv tuner what is not working on 9.10 but on 9.04 it is working, and it is working on 10.10 too | 20:08 |
| fuge | but i am using 9.10 | 20:08 |
| fuge | and i would not like to upgrade | 20:09 |
| fuge | only if it is too problematic to replace the kernel | 20:10 |
| Sysi | 9.10 hasn't very long time left anymore | 20:10 |
| Sysi | you could propable get .debs somewhere | 20:10 |
| fuge | yes i know it will not be supported too long | 20:11 |
| fuge | in the update manager i saw that there is an option to upgrade to 10.04.1 but i am not sure it will be 100% successful it is a safe way to upgrade and keep all my settings, etc.? | 20:17 |
| Sysi | create separate home and clean install | 20:17 |
| MaximumResults | Hello All. | 20:29 |
| MaximumResults | Today's question: How do I get printing to work. My laptop is running Xubunutu 10.10. My Print Server is running Centos 5. I thought I had everything configured, but when I print to the printer, nothing comes out the printer. | 20:30 |
| MaximumResults | My printer status shows a status of "Processing" for a while. Then the job looks finished, | 20:31 |
| MaximumResults | but the printer never prints anything. | 20:31 |
| likemindead | What kind of printer? And is it wired or wireless? | 20:43 |
| MaximumResults | Print test page does the same thing, a test page job is submitted, goes to "Processing" status and eventually disappears. Nothing comes out of the printer. | 20:43 |
| MaximumResults | The printer is a Deskjet 932C. It's connected to the CUPS server by a parallel cable. | 20:43 |
| MaximumResults | I can print from the computer with the printer directly attached | 20:44 |
| MaximumResults | The printer is working and verified from the CUPS server, it just never prints from my laptop. The job goes to a "Processing" state for several minutes, then disappears. | 20:45 |
| Sysi | MaximumResults: you have set server to share connected printers and client to view shared printers? | 20:45 |
| MaximumResults | Yes, The server shares connected printers. | 20:45 |
| Sysi | you maybe need to add new printer with right ip, can't remember | 20:45 |
| MaximumResults | And I can see it in my Printer Configuration. | 20:45 |
| MaximumResults | I've added the printer. I pointed it at the IP of the cups server (I think I used the internal DNS name, but it is an address that I can successfully ping. | 20:46 |
| MaximumResults | My printer configuration shows the printer. It has the green check (default printer) | 20:46 |
| MaximumResults | And if I go to properties, it shows "Printer state: idle" | 20:47 |
| Sysi | (sounds like setting up network shares in win7) | 20:48 |
| MaximumResults | Oddly, the status doesn't change from "idle" when the CUPS server is printing for another client (or for itself). | 20:48 |
| MaximumResults | From this laptop, the status stays "Idle" as the printer prints for another station. | 20:49 |
| MaximumResults | Hmmmm, from the CUPS server access log (/var/log/cups/access_log ) | 20:54 |
| MaximumResults | 192.168.100.136 - - [28/Oct/2010:15:43:00 -0400] "POST /printers/deskjet932c HTTP/1.1" 200 482 Get-Printer-Attributes successful-ok | 20:54 |
| MaximumResults | then | 20:54 |
| MaximumResults | 192.168.100.136 - - [28/Oct/2010:15:43:00 -0400] "POST /printers/deskjet932c HTTP/1.1" 200 2914120 Print-Job client-error-document-format-not-supported | 20:55 |
| MaximumResults | 1 | 20:55 |
| MaximumResults | That happens immediately when I print something. My laptop then goes into the "Processing" mode for a long time (several minutes). | 20:57 |
| Sysi | when printing *anything*? | 20:57 |
| MaximumResults | Yes, when printing anything from the laptop. Either test page, or printing from Firefox or from OpenOffice. | 20:59 |
| MaximumResults | The jobs aren't showing in the job log on the CUPS server. It only shows print jobs from other desktops and from the CUPS server itself. | 21:03 |
| MaximumResults | That's when I look at http://CUPS-server:631/jobs?which_jobs=completed | 21:04 |
| MaximumResults | where CUPS-server in my local domain resolves to the CUPS server address | 21:04 |
| MaximumResults | I see a bunch of stuff in the cups logs on the laptop. Hang on while I go to paste and put it up there. | 21:11 |
| MaximumResults | My local cups log at http://paste.ubuntu.com/521623/ | 21:14 |
| MaximumResults | The intersting line is this one: D [28/Oct/2010:16:11:10 -0400] [Job 10] Set job-printer-state-message to "Print file was not accepted (Unsupported format 'application/octet-stream'!)!", current level=ERROR | 21:15 |
| MaximumResults | Google search for "Print file was not accepted (Unsupported format 'application/octet-stream'!)!" turned up this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=839838 | 21:17 |
| MaximumResults | uninstalling and reinstalling CUPS seems a bit drastic. That's what his solution was. | 21:17 |
| MaximumResults | Other threads that turned up for that search did not report the same solution. | 21:20 |
| MaximumResults | One that looks interesting is an OpenSUSE bug report that reported a solution by editing the MIME type configuration on the CUPS server. | 21:21 |
| MaximumResults | I have not installed (yet) the HP drivers on the laptop. I thought it would send postscript to the CUPS server and the server would be the only place where drivers were needed. | 21:23 |
| MaximumResults | But it looks like my laptop is trying to send raw data to the printer. I'm wondering what raw data it is sending. | 21:24 |
| MaximumResults | The only place I see the "application/octet-stream" text in my /etc/cups directory is in raw.convs and raw.types. | 21:26 |
| MaximumResults | I need to check my other desktop and see if I have the HP printing system drivers installed there. | 21:27 |
| MaximumResults | I wonder if it's sending postscript to the CUPS server, or if that desktop is rendering it to a raw data file for the printer and shipping that over to the server. | 21:28 |
| MaximumResults | Looks like the station that works (sometimes) has hplip and hpijs packages installed. | 21:32 |
| MaximumResults | This laptop also has those packages installed. | 21:34 |
| MaximumResults | Very interesting. I'm not sure how my other desktop was working. The CUPS server was configured not to accept raw data from application/octet-stream MIME types. | 21:37 |
| MaximumResults | I uncommented the line to allow that in /etc/cups/mime.convs | 21:37 |
| MaximumResults | And now it works. | 21:38 |
| MaximumResults | Although I'd rather have my local CUPS send the file over in postscript and let the server render it for the printer. | 21:38 |
| MaximumResults | Problem solved. Wow!!! | 21:44 |
| MaximumResults | On local (laptop) CUPS, changed printer driver to "Generic PostScript Printer" | 21:44 |
| MaximumResults | And again disabled the raw "application/octet-stream" mime type in /etc/cups/mime.convs on the CUPS server | 21:45 |
