[01:05] <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
[01:33] <linuxman410> does anyone know why xubuntu has diffrent installer than ubuntu
[01:36] <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...
[01:40] <andai> Can't move stuff around my panels
[01:41] <ToStItOs> I cant drag and drop files to my flash drive
[01:41] <Jerry> hello?
[01:42] <Jerry> I'm having trouble trying to install Ubuntu 10.10.  Can someone help me?
[01:43] <St0n3-C0l> Tositos : Are you sure the files your trying to copy are on your home folder and you have access to it ?
[01:44] <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 ?
[01:45] <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
[01:46] <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?
[01:47] <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
[01:48] <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
[01:49] <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.
[01:50] <andai> cya
[01:54] <andai> what does the Stick button do
[02:03] <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
[02:04] <andai> is there a way to remove recommended packages
[02:46] <linuxman410> how do i change to another server on irc
[03:40] <andai> how do i change the color of the panel text
[03:40] <andai> found it
[03:41] <moetunes> heh :]
[11:36] <DSeese> I need help with installing ubuntu 10.10 for netbooks.
[11:37] <Sysi> this support channel for Xubuntu, but you can maybe try with enough generic question
[11:38] <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.
[11:39] <DSeese> It looks like a partitioning issue, but I can't figure out what.
[11:40] <Sysi> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStickQuick
[11:40] <Sysi> create ext4 partition and set mount point to /
[11:41] <Sysi> also create swap partition (more in manual)
[11:44] <DSeese> thanks
[11:44] <DSeese> That worked perfectly. It's installing now
[14:46] <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.
[14:53] <TheSheep> johnny77: try gsynaptics
[14:55] <johnny77> TheSheep: thanks installing it now.
[14:58] <johnny77> TheSheep: that worked thank you.
[14:59] <johnny77> How can I edit the menu?
[15:02] <TheSheep> johnny77: what do you want to change?
[15:05] <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.
[15:07] <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
[15:08] <johnny77> TheSheep: there is not an application that will do it, like in gnome or KDE?
[15:12] <TheSheep> johnny77: they are still working on that in xfce
[15:13] <TheSheep> http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu <-- more info
[15:13] <allencch> hello, i am ubuntu user
[15:14] <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
[15:15] <allencch> TheSheep: thank you. but i have a lot of GNOME software, Xfce causes any problem of those software?
[15:16] <allencch> TheSheep: will Xfce cause any problem to those software?
[15:16] <johnny77> TheSheep: thank you.
[15:17] <TheSheep> allencch: no, it will all work
[15:18] <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

[19:08] <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...
[19:09] <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. :-\
[19:27] <likemindead> [SOLVED] -- INSTALL ALL PULSEAUDIO STUFF. :d
[19:59] <fuge> hi
[19:59] <fuge> is there any easy way to replace the kernel?
[20:04] <likemindead> With what?
[20:05] <fuge> with another
[20:06] <Sysi> on what purpose? depends on what form you have kernel
[20:07] <likemindead> http://lmgtfy.com/?q=change+kernel+ubuntu
[20:07] <Sysi> likemindead: please not..
[20:07] <fuge> :)
[20:07] <likemindead> I kid, I kid!
[20:08] <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
[20:09] <fuge> and i would not like to upgrade
[20:10] <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
[20:11] <fuge> yes i know it will not be supported too long
[20:17] <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
[20:29] <MaximumResults> Hello All.
[20:30] <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.
[20:31] <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.
[20:43] <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.
[20:44] <MaximumResults> I can print from the computer with the printer directly attached
[20:45] <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.
[20:46] <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)
[20:47] <MaximumResults> And if I go to properties, it shows "Printer state: idle"
[20:48] <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).
[20:49] <MaximumResults> From this laptop, the status stays "Idle" as the printer prints for another station.
[20:54] <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
[20:55] <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
[20:57] <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*?
[20:59] <MaximumResults> Yes, when printing anything from the laptop.  Either test page, or printing from Firefox or from OpenOffice.
[21:03] <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.
[21:04] <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
[21:11] <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.
[21:14] <MaximumResults> My local cups log at http://paste.ubuntu.com/521623/
[21:15] <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
[21:17] <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.
[21:20] <MaximumResults> Other threads that turned up for that search did not report the same solution.
[21:21] <MaximumResults> One that looks interesting is an OpenSUSE bug report that reported a solution by editing the MIME type configuration on the CUPS server.
[21:23] <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.
[21:24] <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.
[21:26] <MaximumResults> The only place I see the "application/octet-stream" text in my /etc/cups directory is in raw.convs and raw.types.
[21:27] <MaximumResults> I need to check my other desktop and see if I have the HP printing system drivers installed there.
[21:28] <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.
[21:32] <MaximumResults> Looks like the station that works (sometimes) has hplip and hpijs packages installed.
[21:34] <MaximumResults> This laptop also has those packages installed.
[21:37] <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
[21:38] <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.
[21:44] <MaximumResults> Problem solved.     Wow!!!
[21:44] <MaximumResults> On local (laptop) CUPS, changed printer driver to "Generic PostScript Printer"
[21:45] <MaximumResults> And again disabled the raw "application/octet-stream" mime type in /etc/cups/mime.convs on the CUPS server
