[01:05] 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] By the way its a flash drive [01:33] does anyone know why xubuntu has diffrent installer than ubuntu [01:36] because it's been customized for Xubuntu as far as i know [01:36] having help / slideshows for those installing Xubuntu [01:36] But the basic foundation remains same... [01:40] Can't move stuff around my panels [01:41] I cant drag and drop files to my flash drive [01:41] hello? [01:42] I'm having trouble trying to install Ubuntu 10.10. Can someone help me? [01:43] Tositos : Are you sure the files your trying to copy are on your home folder and you have access to it ? [01:44] Access in mean - Even writing's access. [01:44] how do i move the window list around [01:44] window list around? [01:44] what do u mean ? [01:45] 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] 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] 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] nor remove the window list (so i can add it again to the right) [01:45] oh [01:46] oh good, i removed Task List [01:46] your right. [01:46] lol now it's too far to the left [01:46] so don't drag them TosItos - Why not use copy and paste? [01:47] Yeah probably seems some problem with the panels [01:47] 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] and you have to know exactly where to look [01:47] lol [01:47] St0n3-C0l, did that still didnt work [01:47] yeah [01:47] 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] TosItOs: Look to the normal ubuntu channel, some guy there told you about Permissions [01:48] I guess it's more about Permissions than anything else. [01:48] If you had root access then you may want to open Thunar as Root. [01:48] And try copying on from there [01:48] yeah andai but XFCE is not that bad with moving files in panels [01:48] it's good as well [01:49] anyways [01:49] gotta go [01:49] bye [01:49] St0n3-C0l, I wonder why drag and drop doesnt work anymore [01:49] not sure. I don't drag and drop.

[02:03] Instead I think it's copying it, then deleting the old one [02:04] is there a way to remove recommended packages [02:46] how do i change to another server on irc [03:40] how do i change the color of the panel text [03:40] found it [03:41] heh :] === cheese is now known as Guest29338 === Creamcheese is now known as cheese [11:36] I need help with installing ubuntu 10.10 for netbooks. [11:37] this support channel for Xubuntu, but you can maybe try with enough generic question [11:38] 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] It looks like a partitioning issue, but I can't figure out what. [11:40] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStickQuick [11:40] create ext4 partition and set mount point to / [11:41] also create swap partition (more in manual) [11:44] thanks [11:44] That worked perfectly. It's installing now [14:46] 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] johnny77: try gsynaptics [14:55] TheSheep: thanks installing it now. [14:58] TheSheep: that worked thank you. [14:59] How can I edit the menu? [15:02] johnny77: what do you want to change? [15:05] 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] 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] they are simple text files [15:08] TheSheep: there is not an application that will do it, like in gnome or KDE? [15:12] johnny77: they are still working on that in xfce [15:13] http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu <-- more info [15:13] hello, i am ubuntu user [15:14] i would like to know that is there anyway to switch to xubuntu, without fresh installation? [15:14] allencch: sure, just install the xubuntu-desktop package, and you will be able to select ubuntu or xubuntu at the login screen [15:15] TheSheep: thank you. but i have a lot of GNOME software, Xfce causes any problem of those software? [15:16] TheSheep: will Xfce cause any problem to those software? [15:16] TheSheep: thank you. [15:17] allencch: no, it will all work [15:18] 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.

Video is fine and I can hear the other person. ALSA versus PulseAudio is such a mess. Worked fine in Lucid, though...

[20:08] (yeah, that's the funniest part) [20:08] 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] but i am using 9.10 [20:09] and i would not like to upgrade [20:10] only if it is too problematic to replace the kernel [20:10] 9.10 hasn't very long time left anymore [20:10] you could propable get .debs somewhere [20:11] yes i know it will not be supported too long [20:17] 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] create separate home and clean install [20:29] Hello All. [20:30] 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] My printer status shows a status of "Processing" for a while. Then the job looks finished, [20:31] but the printer never prints anything. [20:43] What kind of printer? And is it wired or wireless? [20:43] 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] The printer is a Deskjet 932C. It's connected to the CUPS server by a parallel cable. [20:44] I can print from the computer with the printer directly attached [20:45] 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] MaximumResults: you have set server to share connected printers and client to view shared printers? [20:45] Yes, The server shares connected printers. [20:45] you maybe need to add new printer with right ip, can't remember [20:45] And I can see it in my Printer Configuration. [20:46] 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] My printer configuration shows the printer. It has the green check (default printer) [20:47] And if I go to properties, it shows "Printer state: idle" [20:48] (sounds like setting up network shares in win7) [20:48] Oddly, the status doesn't change from "idle" when the CUPS server is printing for another client (or for itself). [20:49] From this laptop, the status stays "Idle" as the printer prints for another station. [20:54] Hmmmm, from the CUPS server access log (/var/log/cups/access_log ) [20:54] 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] then [20:55] 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] 1 [20:57] That happens immediately when I print something. My laptop then goes into the "Processing" mode for a long time (several minutes). [20:57] when printing *anything*? [20:59] Yes, when printing anything from the laptop. Either test page, or printing from Firefox or from OpenOffice. [21:03] 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] That's when I look at http://CUPS-server:631/jobs?which_jobs=completed [21:04] where CUPS-server in my local domain resolves to the CUPS server address [21:11] 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] My local cups log at http://paste.ubuntu.com/521623/ [21:15] 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] 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] uninstalling and reinstalling CUPS seems a bit drastic. That's what his solution was. [21:20] Other threads that turned up for that search did not report the same solution. [21:21] 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] 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] 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] The only place I see the "application/octet-stream" text in my /etc/cups directory is in raw.convs and raw.types. [21:27] I need to check my other desktop and see if I have the HP printing system drivers installed there. [21:28] 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] Looks like the station that works (sometimes) has hplip and hpijs packages installed. [21:34] This laptop also has those packages installed. [21:37] 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] I uncommented the line to allow that in /etc/cups/mime.convs [21:38] And now it works. [21:38] 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] Problem solved. Wow!!! [21:44] On local (laptop) CUPS, changed printer driver to "Generic PostScript Printer" [21:45] And again disabled the raw "application/octet-stream" mime type in /etc/cups/mime.convs on the CUPS server === `mOOse` is now known as m00se
