| preston | does xfce in xubuntu still set on top some parts of gnome? | 06:11 |
| preston | ive got an older computer and am loking for something lightweight to put on it | 06:12 |
| preston | havent actually messed with xubuntu since 9.10 and didnt know if anything had changed in the meantime | 06:13 |
| ubuXubu | lxde may be a good one | 06:27 |
| preston | ok | 06:29 |
| preston | ive been a fan of xfce though | 06:29 |
| preston | i like the way its laid out | 06:29 |
| ubuXubu | i was using xubuntu 9.04 on a machine with 512 ram | 06:30 |

| Sir_Ragnarok | hi, I'm new to Linux. | 14:31 |
| Sir_Ragnarok | how do I unmount an external hd using the commandline? | 14:32 |
| Sir_Ragnarok | thx | 14:32 |
| psycho_oreos | umount | 14:54 |
| Sir_Ragnarok | just that? | 14:56 |
| Sir_Ragnarok | $ unmount | 14:56 |
| psycho_oreos | umount /mnt/foo | 14:56 |
| Sir_Ragnarok | ok thanks, i'll try that next time | 14:57 |
| psycho_oreos | err you'll need root privileges so you'll need to append sudo | 14:57 |
| psycho_oreos | sudo umount /mnt/foo | 14:57 |
| psycho_oreos | check via `mount' command to see where the device is mounted to | 14:57 |
| Sir_Ragnarok | I'm going to write that down somewhere, my little bro is currently using computer with xubuntu. | 14:58 |
| Sir_Ragnarok | again, thanks for helping | 14:59 |

| vieuz | hi | 17:14 |
| charlie-tca | !hi | vieuz | 17:14 |
| ubottu | vieuz: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 17:14 |
| xGrind | hi | 17:14 |
| vieuz | i have a problem with autologon. Is there someone that can help me ? | 17:14 |
| charlie-tca | Please ask your question all in one line. All of us are volunteers and will attempt to answer if we know. | 17:16 |
| vieuz | thanks | 17:16 |
| vieuz | In the window "New User", i can't check or uncheck the box "Don't ask a password at login" (sorry for the translation, my XUBUNTU karmic is in french) ! The line is in grey | 17:17 |
| === travis is now known as Guest18021 | ||
| charlie-tca | Did you authenticate/unlock the box? | 17:18 |
| === Guest18021 is now known as tdr2009 | ||
| tdr2009 | Ok, i came before a long time ago about a problem with xubuntu, and i figured out the theme that has a problem | 17:18 |
| vieuz | ? sorry, charly-tca, i don't understand your question | 17:19 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe it is me not understanding. Are you adding a new user? | 17:20 |
| vieuz | i have only one box (in grey, i can't check it or uncheck it | 17:20 |
| tdr2009 | a theme that logs you out, and you cant log in until you delete xubuntu folders in ~/.config | 17:20 |
| vieuz | yes i am | 17:20 |
| vieuz | i wrote name, and i entered a manual password | 17:20 |
| charlie-tca | There is a lock button at the bottom, you have to click it and put in the password to be able to add the user and check the boxes | 17:20 |
| charlie-tca | tdr2009: did you file a bug? | 17:21 |
| tdr2009 | no, i think its already reported, not sure | 17:22 |
| charlie-tca | It won't really get fixed if there no bug. If there is one, perhaps you could add comments to it? | 17:22 |
| tdr2009 | ill look to see if there is one | 17:22 |
| charlie-tca | vieuz: starting up a karmic system. let me look | 17:22 |
| vieuz | i click the lock button, then i entered the password, then i clicked on New User. In the window that appears, I can enter the name of the user, his password, but i can't check or uncheck the box at the bottom ("don't ask a password at login"). Ok i'm waiting for you | 17:23 |
| tdr2009 | I tried adding a user, it asked for password, i entered it, and mine wasnt greyed out | 17:25 |
| charlie-tca | vieuz: you are right. Give me a minute | 17:26 |
| tdr2009 | of course, i dont know much about this anyway | 17:26 |
| charlie-tca | tdr2009: in 9.10? | 17:26 |
| tdr2009 | i have 10.10 | 17:26 |
| tdr2009 | i did have ubuntu, but I installed xubuntu-desktop, and removed everything that came with ubuntu | 17:27 |
| tdr2009 | but my version is 10.10 | 17:28 |
| charlie-tca | vieuz: looks like a bug to me. I can not check that for any user in xubuntu 9.10 | 17:28 |
| vieuz | ah, it is a good news, if i can say it ! | 17:28 |
| tdr2009 | i guess that bug is fixed in 10.10, since i dont have that problem? | 17:28 |
| charlie-tca | I believe it came about as a result of changes to GDM for gnome desktop. I think you will need to upgrade to 10.04 to resolve it | 17:29 |
| vieuz | the pb is that i don't have broadband access on internet, just using a 56k modem !!!! it will take a long time to download new version ! | 17:29 |
| charlie-tca | It won't get fixed in 9.10. I am sorry | 17:30 |
| tdr2009 | oh, you could get free cd | 17:30 |
| charlie-tca | !shipit | 17:30 |
| ubottu | Shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu and Kubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org - Shipit will send !Maverick (10.10) CDs | 17:30 |
| charlie-tca | I can't remember the place you can get the xubuntu cd from? | 17:32 |
| vieuz | on-disk.com | 17:33 |
| vieuz | I will ask them a CD | 17:35 |
| vieuz | I have an other pb. Can I ask for your hep ? | 17:35 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 17:35 |
| vieuz | when I log with a user, my wifi card starts automatically but I have to enter a password to authorize acces to key ring. | 17:36 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 17:37 |
| vieuz | in order my PC to access WiFi. | 17:37 |
| charlie-tca | yes, that is right. Gnome-keyring does not pick up automatically for Xubuntu 9.10 | 17:38 |
| vieuz | is there a way to avoid entering a password (which is not the WPA passphrase). | 17:38 |
| vieuz | and if i log with a generic user (group : User) it doesn't ask me a password keyring | 17:39 |
| charlie-tca | Does the wifi card start automatically with the generic user? | 17:39 |
| vieuz | yes. and it connects automatically to my hotspot | 17:40 |
| vieuz | i don't understand why my other user (vincent, group VIncent) doesn't act the same | 17:40 |
| vieuz | probably because it is not in the same group... | 17:41 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know the answer to this. Perhaps add vincent to group users ? | 17:43 |
| vieuz | do you think i will loose my documents i have on my account ? | 17:44 |
| charlie-tca | No. You can add users to groups without affecting those. You don't move vincent from group Vincent, you just add vincent to the other group | 17:45 |
| vieuz | OK, i'm trying it right now. I disconnect the chat and i come back. Thanks. | 17:45 |
| charlie-tca | You´re welcome. Good luck... | 17:46 |
| vieuz | i'm back | 17:59 |
| vieuz | it's not working, it doesnt't take my changes. I think i'll stop and i'll wait to upgrade to 10.10 | 18:00 |
| vieuz | anyway, thanks for your help | 18:01 |
| === travis is now known as tdr2009 | ||
| tdr2009 | Ok, I had one more question, but my internet messed up | 18:30 |
| tdr2009 | but, when you have the compositer enabled, are the windows supposed to move slowly? | 18:30 |
| tdr2009 | when they're bigger sized windows? | 18:30 |
| charlie-tca | That would depend on hardware in use | 18:31 |
| tdr2009 | oh | 18:31 |
| tdr2009 | ok | 18:31 |
| tdr2009 | its just the pointer moves faster than the windows, but thanks for helping | 18:32 |
| charlie-tca | It would depend on the video card, video memory, ram, and cpu | 18:32 |
| tdr2009 | mines not that powerful, i guess | 18:32 |
| tdr2009 | i know the graphics card and the processor and the ram though | 18:33 |

| mark76 | Does anyone know where perfectska hangs out? | 22:51 |
| crawler | hey guys, i just upgraded from xubuntu 9.04 to 10.04 using the update manager, and now i have no mouse cursor. the session starts up, and the screen blinks and the cursor just disappears. any idea what's going on? | 22:52 |
| Sysi | could you try changing cursor theme? | 22:54 |
| crawler | i suspect it has to do with this: when upgrading, i was asked a couple questions and chose "use package maintainers version" both times | 22:54 |
| crawler | hi Sysi i'll try that now | 22:54 |
| crawler | Sysi, i tried changing the cursor theme, but no go.. i'm using the keyboard to navigate the windows but the invisible mouse will still highlight and click things - i just have to guess a lot | 22:57 |
| crawler | it seems like a driver issue or something...but i don't know much about these things | 22:57 |
| Sysi | (you shouldn't be able to skip versions when upgrading) | 22:57 |
| crawler | hmm..not sure what you mean by that. at the top of the update manager window, there was a button to upgrade to 10.10 lucid (or something similar), and i was reluctant to do it for weeks and weeks. | 23:00 |
| crawler | now i know why | 23:00 |
| crawler | i usually do clean installs, but this time i wanted to try upgrading through the update manager | 23:00 |
| Sysi | upgrading can cause problems but new version may have bugs.. | 23:01 |
| crawler | also, the gnome session works fine, i have a cursor there. just not the xubuntu & default xfce sessions | 23:01 |
| Sysi | you could try removing settings ~/.config/xfce4/ | 23:02 |
| crawler | ok, i'll try that now | 23:03 |
| crawler | Sysi, that produces a mouse cursor, and everything looks different...but everything seems sluggish and there are no panels at the top and bottom | 23:08 |
| Sysi | !panels | 23:08 |
| 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/ | 23:08 |
| Sysi | you propably need to set up theme etc. | 23:09 |
| crawler | Sysi, thanks a million | 23:09 |
| crawler | that did the trick | 23:10 |
| crawler | Sysi, i think i found the problem of the invisible mouse; when i changed the display refresh rate to 75Hz, it seems the display driver crashed. no i put it back to 60Hz and rebooted. everything was fine but now the screen is flashing horrible white vertical stripes. | 23:39 |
| crawler | it's odd because with 9.04 i had the refresh rate @ 75Hz with no problems. maybe it was that intel driver update i got yesterday?? | 23:40 |
| crawler | (using integrated intel video chip) | 23:40 |
| crawler | the system has become unresponsive and had to be shut down by holding in the tower's on/off switch | 23:42 |
| crawler | bah, this is frustrating! i have never had a *buntu upgrade via the update manager go well. not in 5+ years | 23:43 |

| travis2009 | ok, i have a problem. Flash all of a sudden stopped working in firefox. I go to youtube and click on video, then its just white where video is supposed to be | 23:46 |
| travis2009 | when i right click where video supposed to be, no menu or nothing pops up | 23:47 |
| travis2009 | ive tried everything, every flash site will not work | 23:47 |
| travis2009 | ive tried it in google chrome, and the flash is really buggy somehow, and it never used to be buggy in chrome until now | 23:47 |
| travis2009 | any suggestions? | 23:47 |
| crawler | hi travis, i get this problem from time to time..try going to the adobe site and installing the latest .deb | 23:48 |
| travis2009 | ok, ill try that, and tell you if it works | 23:48 |
| crawler | k | 23:48 |
| travis2009 | wait, .deb or APT? | 23:49 |
| travis2009 | i have 10.10 | 23:49 |
| travis2009 | xubuntu 10.10 | 23:49 |
| crawler | there should be a .deb on the abobe site | 23:49 |
| travis2009 | ok, there was a choice of APT or .deb | 23:50 |
| travis2009 | it says: "Error: A later version is already installed" | 23:50 |
| travis2009 | when i run .deb file | 23:50 |
| crawler | hmm...i don't know then. maybe try reinstalling flash with synaptic | 23:51 |
| travis2009 | k | 23:51 |
| crawler | or reinstalling ff | 23:51 |
| travis2009 | i cant find flash in synaptic | 23:52 |
| crawler | flashplugin? | 23:52 |
| travis2009 | nvm foundi t | 23:52 |
