[03:44] is there a way to grab a git repo if `git clone` command is unable to connect? [05:27] Where does Xubuntu keep the list of sessions you can select in gdm? [05:30] And what is the command line used for the "Xubuntu session"? It seems to be different from xfce4-session. [05:48] found it: /usr/share/xsessions [05:48] and /usr/share/xubuntu/session.sh [05:49] oh... but that seems to just run xfce4-session again [06:13] hi [06:24] I still can't figure out how to run the Xubuntu session without going through gdm... anyone able to help? [06:24] like from vnc [06:28] 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. [06:46] * ubuXubu peers thru the dense undebrush into the myserious binary jungle known as ... Xubuntu! [06:48] hi [06:48] night [06:48] * Rakko ponders . o O ( Ubuzela ) [09:12] Hello. I was wondering, is there a way to disable journaling on an ext4 filesystem? [09:14] I think so, but why? [09:15] I've heard it gives a pretty substantial speed boost with things like file transfers. [09:15] I don't think so. [09:16] 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] I mean, ext2 would be the best choice. [09:16] But if there's a way to disable the journal... [09:17] google is your friend, really [09:17] the very first hit looks workable === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [17:19] 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] no [17:20] okay thx :) [17:20] If you installed Xubuntu, you have some gnome applications in use [17:24] you won't get updates for non-installed software [20:11] 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? [20:16] What do you mean, unable? [20:19] I cannot log into Ubuntu...I am unable to get into the working area. [20:20] I set up a dual boot. WinXP SP3 on one side and Ubuntu 10.10 on the other. [20:24] Does it make it to a login screen? [20:26] 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. [20:38] You click on your username in the center of the screen, enter your password, and nothing? [20:45] Yes, the first attempt it hides my password, the second attempt I'm able to see visually my actual password [21:09] But I'm still not able to do anything? [21:10] I'm thinking about manually reinstalling and pointing at the correct partition. [21:23] Does anybody have any idea how to fix this? [21:34] gn8 [21:42] how do i mount my cd drive? [21:47] Is it external? [21:47] !mount [21:47] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [21:51] i am fine to mount data cds, but if i try to mount audio it saise it's an unknown filesystem [21:54] Do you have the restricted extras installed? [21:54] !restricted [21:54] 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 [21:56] does your media player find the audio cd ok? [21:57] rhythm box isn't finding the cd [21:57] what format is it the cd? [21:58] it's an audio cd bought from the store [21:58] k [21:58] JaySeeJC, do you have the codecs I linked above installed? [21:59] probably not [21:59] Ubuntu doesn't play CDs, DVDs, mp3s, etc by default. They are proprietary formats. [21:59] Just follow that link. It only takes a minute to install them. [22:04] how do i change where drives mount? [22:05] the file /etc/fstab handles that [22:05] !fstab [22:05] 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 [22:09] what is in the proc folder? [22:25] how do I mount an SD card? It does not show up on the desktop. df also does not show the card as mounted. [22:26] does it show in sudo fdisk -l ? [22:30] nope - all the partitions of the /dev/sda, nothing else [22:35] that's strange - is there an entry in dmesg showing the card has been recognised? [22:35] should be near the end if the card has just been inserted [22:39] 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] then the card was unmounted and removed [22:40] now it is not recognized again [22:40] that sounds like a hardware issue to me - got another card there to test? [22:41] or another comp to test the card in? [22:41] this is an 8GB card - that would not have anything to do with it? [22:42] I wouldn't think so [22:43] card is from my camera and works fine there. my laptop is 4 years old though [22:43] will try another card [22:43] i have also not rebooted in 17 days [22:46] mmc0: error -84 whilst initialising SD card [22:47] I don't know what error 84 is - have a look at dmesg in a terminal to see if it gives a clue [22:51] 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 [22:52] thanks!
