[03:44] <R1cochet> is there a way to grab a git repo if `git clone` command is unable to connect?
[05:27] <Rakko> Where does Xubuntu keep the list of sessions you can select in gdm?
[05:30] <Rakko> And what is the command line used for the "Xubuntu session"? It seems to be different from xfce4-session.
[05:48] <Rakko> found it: /usr/share/xsessions
[05:48] <Rakko> and /usr/share/xubuntu/session.sh
[05:49] <Rakko> oh... but that seems to just run xfce4-session again
[06:13] <Rakko> hi
[06:24] <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
[06:28] <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.

[09:12] <Snakkah> Hello. I was wondering, is there a way to disable journaling on an ext4 filesystem?
[09:14] <TheSheep> I think so, but why?
[09:15] <Snakkah> I've heard it gives a pretty substantial speed boost with things like file transfers.
[09:15] <TheSheep> I don't think so.
[09:16] <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...
[09:17] <TheSheep> google is your friend, really
[09:17] <TheSheep> the very first hit looks workable
[17:19] <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
[17:20] <claes> okay thx :)
[17:20] <charlie-tca> If you installed Xubuntu, you have some gnome applications in use
[17:24] <Sysi> you won't get updates for non-installed software
[20:11] <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?
[20:16] <likemindead> What do you mean, unable?
[20:19] <Doug_S> I cannot log into Ubuntu...I am unable to get into the working area.
[20:20] <Doug_S> I set up a dual boot. WinXP SP3 on one side and Ubuntu 10.10 on the other.
[20:24] <likemindead> Does it make it to a login screen?
[20:26] <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.
[20:38] <likemindead> You click on your username in the center of the screen, enter your password, and nothing?
[20:45] <Doug_S> Yes, the first attempt it hides my password, the second attempt I'm able to see visually my actual password
[21:09] <Doug_S> But I'm still not able to do anything?
[21:10] <Doug_S> I'm thinking about manually reinstalling and pointing at the correct partition.
[21:23] <Doug_S> Does anybody have any idea how to fix this?

[21:42] <JaySeeJC> how do i mount my cd drive?
[21:47] <likemindead> Is it external?
[21:47] <likemindead> !mount
[21:51] <JaySeeJC> i am fine to mount data cds, but if i try to mount audio it saise it's an unknown filesystem
[21:54] <likemindead> Do you have the restricted extras installed?
[21:54] <likemindead> !restricted
[21:56] <moetunes> does your media player find the audio cd ok?
[21:57] <JaySeeJC> rhythm box isn't finding the cd
[21:57] <moetunes> what format is it the cd?
[21:58] <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?
[21:59] <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.
[22:04] <JaySeeJC> how do i change where drives mount?
[22:05] <moetunes> the file   /etc/fstab   handles that
[22:05] <moetunes> !fstab
[22:09] <JaySeeJC> what is in the proc folder?
[22:25] <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.
[22:26] <moetunes> does it show in   sudo fdisk -l   ?
[22:30] <autif1> nope - all the partitions of the /dev/sda, nothing else
[22:35] <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
[22:39] <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
[22:40] <autif1> now it is not recognized again
[22:40] <moetunes> that sounds like a hardware issue to me - got another card there to test?
[22:41] <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?
[22:42] <moetunes> I wouldn't think so
[22:43] <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
[22:46] <autif1> mmc0: error -84 whilst initialising SD card
[22:47] <moetunes> I don't know what error 84 is - have a look at dmesg in a terminal to see if it gives a clue
[22:51] <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
[22:52] <autif1> thanks!
[22:53] <moetunes> np :)
