[20:16] !xfce [20:16] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [20:16] that means its possible to follow the guides for ubuntu in Xubuntu? [20:16] mostly, at least with little adjusting [20:17] because i need to use ICS [20:17] and this guide explains all about [20:17] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [20:17] i dont know if i need to follow that guide or search a guide for Xubuntu [20:21] Hello everybody, [20:21] this only is a test - do you receive my messages? [20:22] yes [20:22] Okay, many thanks and greetings [20:22] vandyk, yes you can follow that one, some menus might have slightely different names though [20:23] yes i see for example to edit config files i need to use for example [20:23] sudo mousepad /etc/whatever.conf right? [20:24] just right click on your network icon in the notification area and choose edit connections, etc. etc. as described in the beginning of that link you posted [20:24] it should be gksudo mousepad /path/to/conf [20:24] vandyk, yes [20:24] !gksudo [20:24] sudo is fine [20:24] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [20:25] aladoinsano: ^^ [20:25] ok thanks! [20:25] he just wanted to editi a file from the terminal [20:25] i think this days i need to learn a lot [20:25] he wanted to use mousepad not edit from a terminal [20:31] yes i stand corrected, i however never use gksudo with mousepad..saves me two keystrokes ;) [20:32] well if you break things you get to keep all the peices :) [20:33] it hasnt broken anything in the last 5 years so im a living proof its working just fine, but yes you are right in principal of course [22:40] gn8 [23:09] if I have to submit a bug regarding update-manager, do I submit it to ubuntu or xubuntu? (i'm using xubuntu 10.10) [23:10] belal1, sumbit it using ubuntu-bug update-manager [23:10] thanks [23:14] when i make a new user it never saves my changes [23:23] gotta love launchpad :D [23:32] this channel is just as helpful as #ubuntu [23:32] >.> [23:33] lol... [23:33] Maybe it is the way you ask for help? There hasn't really been a question asked... [23:33] why don't try the old adduser command [23:33] ridin, i did [23:33] sudo adduser? [23:33] o>O [23:33] yea [23:33] o.o... [23:34] and useradd isnt working either [23:34] same problem? [23:34] i get this "if you want to add this user to that group, use -g." [23:35] which gives me a help file [23:35] wait, let me see the archlinux wiki for a second [23:35] What release version are you using? [23:36] charlie-tca: see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide [23:36] Step 4 [23:36] why? that isn't going to tell the release of Xubuntu is use, is it? [23:37] nope [23:37] * charlie-tca wonders why Moon_Rising2 can't really get help? [23:37] * Moon_Rising2 rapes charlie-tca with a terrifying Asian Guy Named SenorPoopyPants [23:37] * ridin just gave some help [23:37] sorry [23:37] lol [23:38] Moon_Rising2, that is not okay [23:38] its gone [23:38] cant remeber wich version [23:38] open a terminal and type lsb_release -a [23:38] hit enter [23:38] it will tell you [23:39] 9.10 [23:40] ridin gave a reference above, did you look at it/ [23:40] He addressed it to me, but I think he meant it for you [23:41] oh, oops, wrong person [23:41] -_- [23:42] useradd -m -g [initial_group] -G [additional_groups] -s [login_shell] [username] [23:43] for login shell /bin/bash [23:43] ? [23:44] yeah, and the stuff will show you stuff under that [23:44] useradd: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later. [23:45] sudo [23:46] It is easier to do to this through Users and Groups than through the terminal [23:48] charlie-tca, users and groups would never say the changes [23:48] save [23:48] and ty ridin charlie-tca, i have my new user now
