| Rakko | Where does Xubuntu keep the list of sessions you can select in gdm? | 05:27 |
| Rakko | And what is the command line used for the "Xubuntu session"? It seems to be different from xfce4-session. | 05:30 |
| Rakko | found it: /usr/share/xsessions | 05:48 |
| Rakko | and /usr/share/xubuntu/session.sh | 05:48 |
| Rakko | oh... but that seems to just run xfce4-session again | 05:49 |
| Rakko | hi | 06:13 |
| Rakko | I still can't figure out how to run the Xubuntu session without going through gdm... anyone able to help? | 06:24 |
| Rakko | like from vnc | 06:24 |
| Rakko | Also, when I log into a session from gdm the screen flashes briefly. I'd like to find out why, and stop that from happening. | 06:28 |

| Snakkah | Hello. I was wondering, is there a way to disable journaling on an ext4 filesystem? | 09:12 |
| TheSheep | I think so, but why? | 09:14 |
| Snakkah | I've heard it gives a pretty substantial speed boost with things like file transfers. | 09:15 |
| TheSheep | I don't think so. | 09:15 |
| Snakkah | And I really don't want to use ext2 since I'm going to be installing an OS to a flash drive, so I figured I could just get the speed of ext4 without the journal. | 09:16 |
| Snakkah | I mean, ext2 would be the best choice. | 09:16 |
| Snakkah | But if there's a way to disable the journal... | 09:16 |
| TheSheep | google is your friend, really | 09:17 |
| TheSheep | the very first hit looks workable | 09:17 |

| claes | i have a question concerning xubuntu updates.. when it, as I understand, runs xfc instead of gnome - should I then avoid gnome updates that turns up in the software updater? | 17:19 |
| charlie-tca | no | 17:19 |
| claes | okay thx :) | 17:20 |
| charlie-tca | If you installed Xubuntu, you have some gnome applications in use | 17:20 |
| Sysi | you won't get updates for non-installed software | 17:24 |
| Doug_S | I'm completely new to Ubuntu. I installed 10.10 and now am unable to log on from the regular sign on screen, and from the recovery screen. Any ideas? | 20:11 |
| likemindead | What do you mean, unable? | 20:16 |
| Doug_S | I cannot log into Ubuntu...I am unable to get into the working area. | 20:19 |
| Doug_S | I set up a dual boot. WinXP SP3 on one side and Ubuntu 10.10 on the other. | 20:20 |
| likemindead | Does it make it to a login screen? | 20:24 |
| Doug_S | Yes. And every time I try to log in, nothing. At the bottom of the screen I see a box that says "USA", and then a pull down menu with other items like "user defined session" and a couple of other things. | 20:26 |
| likemindead | You click on your username in the center of the screen, enter your password, and nothing? | 20:38 |
| Doug_S | Yes, the first attempt it hides my password, the second attempt I'm able to see visually my actual password | 20:45 |
| Doug_S | But I'm still not able to do anything? | 21:09 |
| Doug_S | I'm thinking about manually reinstalling and pointing at the correct partition. | 21:10 |
| Doug_S | Does anybody have any idea how to fix this? | 21:23 |

| JaySeeJC | how do i mount my cd drive? | 21:42 |
| likemindead | Is it external? | 21:47 |
| likemindead | !mount | 21:47 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 21:47 |
| JaySeeJC | i am fine to mount data cds, but if i try to mount audio it saise it's an unknown filesystem | 21:51 |
| likemindead | Do you have the restricted extras installed? | 21:54 |
| likemindead | !restricted | 21:54 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 21:54 |
| moetunes | does your media player find the audio cd ok? | 21:56 |
| JaySeeJC | rhythm box isn't finding the cd | 21:57 |
| moetunes | what format is it the cd? | 21:57 |
| JaySeeJC | it's an audio cd bought from the store | 21:58 |
| moetunes | k | 21:58 |
| likemindead | JaySeeJC, do you have the codecs I linked above installed? | 21:58 |
| JaySeeJC | probably not | 21:59 |
| likemindead | Ubuntu doesn't play CDs, DVDs, mp3s, etc by default. They are proprietary formats. | 21:59 |
| likemindead | Just follow that link. It only takes a minute to install them. | 21:59 |
| JaySeeJC | how do i change where drives mount? | 22:04 |
| moetunes | the file /etc/fstab handles that | 22:05 |
| moetunes | !fstab | 22:05 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 22:05 |
| JaySeeJC | what is in the proc folder? | 22:09 |
| autif1 | how do I mount an SD card? It does not show up on the desktop. df also does not show the card as mounted. | 22:25 |
| moetunes | does it show in sudo fdisk -l ? | 22:26 |
| autif1 | nope - all the partitions of the /dev/sda, nothing else | 22:30 |
| moetunes | that's strange - is there an entry in dmesg showing the card has been recognised? | 22:35 |
| moetunes | should be near the end if the card has just been inserted | 22:35 |
| autif1 | funny - i tried inserting and removing the card many times - one one and just on e of the attempts it worked - showed up perfectly mounted, Thunar launched displayed the files etc | 22:39 |
| autif1 | then the card was unmounted and removed | 22:39 |
| autif1 | now it is not recognized again | 22:40 |
| moetunes | that sounds like a hardware issue to me - got another card there to test? | 22:40 |
| moetunes | or another comp to test the card in? | 22:41 |
| autif1 | this is an 8GB card - that would not have anything to do with it? | 22:41 |
| moetunes | I wouldn't think so | 22:42 |
| autif1 | card is from my camera and works fine there. my laptop is 4 years old though | 22:43 |
| autif1 | will try another card | 22:43 |
| autif1 | i have also not rebooted in 17 days | 22:43 |
| autif1 | mmc0: error -84 whilst initialising SD card | 22:46 |
| moetunes | I don't know what error 84 is - have a look at dmesg in a terminal to see if it gives a clue | 22:47 |
| autif1 | thats the only printed when the card does not show up - I think you are right about the hardware issue - when push the card in very gently - it appears more often than not. Not strictly scientific, but good enough | 22:51 |
| autif1 | thanks! | 22:52 |
| moetunes | np :) | 22:53 |
