| Guest13342 | hey. i am kind of new to xubuntu, like today, I was wondering how to change the panel color in 10.10 from grey to black | 03:57 |
| gr8m8 | it's your gtk theme that does that | 03:58 |
| gr8m8 | you can copy one from /usr/share/themes to ~/.themes and edit it | 03:59 |
| Guest13342 | thanks man | 04:01 |

| nirazio | I generally prefer XFCE desktop environment of Xubuntu, but I found its files right-click context menu too humble (no option to compress/decompress files for example, and I'd like some my very special actions there too).How can I customize it? | 10:44 |

| stephanmg | hi mates. | 12:31 |
| MorphixNW | has anyone found a solution to the linux-header upgrade issue yet? | 13:14 |
| MorphixNW | would be nice to fix it, rather then installing over again | 13:14 |
| MorphixNW | I have spent ages making things work so :( | 13:15 |
| TheSheep | MorphixNW: what issue? | 13:17 |
| MorphixNW | my machine wont boot up after installing new linux-header upfates, its crashed out my graphics card and my networking | 13:18 |
| MorphixNW | shows the "low graphics mode" warning, but wont let me reconfig | 13:18 |
| TheSheep | have you tried to boot in the recovery mode? | 13:19 |
| MorphixNW | yes | 13:19 |
| TheSheep | and? | 13:19 |
| MorphixNW | to no avail, also tried selecting an older kernel | 13:19 |
| TheSheep | recovery mode is in text mode | 13:20 |
| TheSheep | what fails exactly? | 13:20 |
| MorphixNW | ok, in that case i do get a terminal promot | 13:20 |
| MorphixNW | in text mode | 13:20 |
| MorphixNW | i am there now | 13:20 |
| TheSheep | ok, then just install your drivers and you are done | 13:21 |
| MorphixNW | how can I do that with no internet access? | 13:21 |
| TheSheep | !apt-zip | 13:21 |
| TheSheep | !info apt-zip | 13:21 |
| ubottu | apt-zip (source: apt-zip): Update a non-networked computer using apt and removable media. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.18 (maverick), package size 20 kB, installed size 128 kB | 13:21 |
| MorphixNW | hmmm | 13:22 |
| MorphixNW | ok and if the machine wont see my usb hard drive? | 13:22 |
| MorphixNW | lsusb shows the device, but its not mounted | 13:23 |
| TheSheep | then mount it | 13:23 |
| MorphixNW | how? | 13:23 |
| TheSheep | !mount | 13:23 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 13:23 |
| MorphixNW | ty | 13:24 |
| MorphixNW | how do i find the name of the hard drive? i.e /dev/hdb1? | 13:25 |
| gr8m8 | sudo fdisk -l will tell | 13:28 |
| MorphixNW | ty | 13:28 |
| MorphixNW | I can see sda1, sda2 and sda5, however, sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt fails | 13:29 |
| MorphixNW | same on sda5 | 13:30 |
| TheSheep | sda is your hard disk drive probably | 13:30 |
| TheSheep | you probably wand sdb or later | 13:30 |
| MorphixNW | sda1 is I think | 13:30 |
| TheSheep | sda1 is the first partition of disk sda | 13:30 |
| MorphixNW | I dont see anything for sdb | 13:30 |
| MorphixNW | hmm ok i see now | 13:30 |
| TheSheep | you can also see what dmesg says when you are plugging the disk | 13:30 |
| MorphixNW | so the machine cant see my usb drive | 13:31 |
| MorphixNW | new full speed usb device using uhci_hcd and address 3 | 13:31 |
| TheSheep | MorphixNW: lshw may show it | 13:33 |
| MorphixNW | /dev/sdb | 13:36 |
| MorphixNW | when i now do "mount /dev/sdb /mnt" it says i must specify a filesystem type | 13:36 |
| MorphixNW | this is just insane, all this hassle from an official update | 13:38 |
| gr8m8 | most usb's are vfat so try mount -t vfat | 13:40 |
| MorphixNW | cant read superblock error | 13:44 |
| MorphixNW | its ntfs | 13:45 |
| gr8m8 | sounds like the usb is borked then | 13:46 |
| ablomen | MorphixNW, /dev/sdb is the whole disk, you need the partition, something like /dev/sdb1 or sdb2 | 13:46 |
| MorphixNW | hows about if I can download the files required to fix it and stick them on a cd? | 13:48 |
