| zruty | In Ubuntu no problem connecting to SMB share, but in Xubuntu same connection errors with "invalid". What can I check? | 07:54 |
| Sysi | zruty: how you're connecting? | 08:16 |
| zruty | Sysi: On Ubuntu in Nautilus, typing the address in the locator bar. In Xubuntu with Gigolo. | 08:22 |
| zruty | In Gigolo it reports as connecting, but when I try to start Thunar on it, the error message comes that it fails to open "the path" then stating the URI is invalid. | 08:29 |
| Sysi | uhm, i think i've seen that but dunno how to actually fix it | 08:30 |
| Sysi | you could try google | 08:30 |
| xubuntu066 | Hi | 12:29 |
| xubuntu066 | Do you speak Russian? | 12:30 |
| Sysi | no | 12:30 |
| xubuntu066 | I test xubuntu first time. | 12:30 |
| xubuntu066 | ok | 12:30 |

| xiaoshen | hello^ | 13:39 |
| xiaoshen | i'm about to install xubuntu 10.10 | 13:40 |
| xiaoshen | i want to know what are the advantages by manually create the partitions when installing | 13:41 |
| Sysi | you get to choose what kinda partition setup you want | 13:49 |
| PaulW2U | I have multiple Ubuntu installations on this PC. By choosing to manually create partitions I can have a separate /home which I can share with other installations. When upgrading the /home can be kept safe. | 13:52 |
| xiaoshen | l heard that if i have / and /home separated, when something happen with / my /home is save then i only have to fix the / | 13:54 |
| xiaoshen | but i haven't faced problem like that before | 13:55 |
| Sysi | i do/did reinstallation often, separate /home is handy | 13:56 |
| Sysi | if you just need to have data safe, it doesn't need to be /home but just some partition | 13:56 |
| xiaoshen | Sysi, when everytime you do reinstallation you don't have to define /home anymore? | 13:59 |
| PaulW2U | Yes you do, but you tell the installer NOT to format the partition | 13:59 |
| xiaoshen | oh? | 14:00 |
| xiaoshen | so then if you reinstall for the 1st time then you have 2 /home | 14:00 |
| === istok is now known as chmod | ||
| xiaoshen | ? | 14:00 |
| PaulW2U | No, you only ever have one /home. The installer uses the existing /home but does not format it so the data is kept safe. | 14:01 |
| xiaoshen | oh | 14:02 |
| xiaoshen | i see | 14:02 |
| xiaoshen | PaulW2U, so when i do the reinstallation i only need to define / and swap | 14:04 |
| PaulW2U | You still need to define where /home is but you must tell the installer NOT to format /home. | 14:06 |
| xiaoshen | i don't need to define /home ,beccuse i want to use my existing /home | 14:06 |
| xiaoshen | You still need to define where /home? | 14:06 |
| xiaoshen | how? | 14:07 |
| PaulW2U | If you don't define /home it will create a /home under / and not use your existing partition. Your data will not be lost but you will have to mount the partition and call it something else. | 14:07 |
| xiaoshen | then how to tell the installer that i want to use the existing /home? | 14:08 |
| PaulW2U | When the time comes, choose the option to manually create the partitions and all will become clear. Just choose the partition, e.g. sda3 and call it /home using the dropdown list . Don't tick the box that is labelled "Format" | 14:11 |
| xiaoshen | PaulW2U, i got it now, sorry for asking such basic question ^^' | 14:12 |
| xiaoshen | oh it's ok to use /ext4? | 14:13 |
| PaulW2U | Yes, all my partitions are ext4 | 14:14 |
| xiaoshen | so it's stable | 14:14 |
| xiaoshen | oh last time i used xubuntu the thunar is very basic, is there any improvement in 10.10 | 14:15 |
| xiaoshen | hello^ | 16:07 |
| xiaoshen | i get some problem with xfce panel | 16:07 |
| xiaoshen | how to reset it into the 1st insatalled 1 | 16:08 |
| cobra-the-joker | Hey guys ... will 10.04 get XFCE 4.8 ? | 18:44 |
| cobra-the-joker | any body here | 18:53 |
| ochosi | cobra-the-joker: afaik there is a ppa for that | 18:57 |
| ochosi | cobra-the-joker: not sure the xubuntu-dev team will make an "official" backport | 18:57 |
| ochosi | cobra-the-joker: or let's say i'm really sceptical about that | 18:58 |
| cobra-the-joker | ochosi: i hope it will | 19:01 |
| ochosi | cobra-the-joker: have you tried the ppa-version for maverick or lucid? | 19:01 |
| Sysi | 4.8 is nice, but it doesn't have launcher-moving bug in 10.04, like in 10.10 | 19:02 |
| cobra-the-joker | ochosi: no ... didnt try it yet | 19:06 |
| cobra-the-joker | maybe i try on a VM | 19:06 |
| cobra-the-joker | dont trust ppa very much .. especially in something like a DE | 19:06 |
| zer0s | hey guys can you help me get lidbtn.sh working properly? | 19:43 |
| Sysi | what is lidbtn.sh? | 19:45 |
| zer0s | its supposed to determine what the screen is going to do when the laptop lid is closed | 19:46 |
| zer0s | or open | 19:46 |
| zer0s | while it does its job of turning off the screen | 19:46 |
| zer0s | when i open the lid, it won't come back | 19:47 |
| Sysi | xfce4-power-manager should handle that | 19:47 |
| zer0s | it doesn't | 19:48 |
| zer0s | unfortunately | 19:48 |
| zer0s | :/ | 19:48 |
| zer0s | i tried | 19:48 |
| Sysi | sounds problem is lower level then | 19:49 |
| zer0s | that's why i tried to work inside /etc/acpi/events | 19:50 |
| zer0s | i'm starting to think i should go to 10.04...10.10 is nothing but headaches | 19:51 |
| _antant | Hi guys. I was hoping someone could have a look at quick vids of my boot up and shut down processes and tell me why they changed from splash screens to what they are now | 20:43 |
| _antant | http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=w86efq&s=7 is my boot up | 20:45 |
| _antant | and http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=zl3fyt&s=7 my shutdown | 20:45 |
| Sysi | if you didn't install propiatary drivers, remove possibly text-plymouth theme and maybe reinstall the regular one | 20:46 |
| _antant | I've tried changing the plymouth theme and it doesn't do anything | 20:48 |
| _antant | I'm using the ATI video drivers | 20:54 |
| Sysi | propietary? there are some fixes but i don't know, google does | 20:55 |
| _antant | Right. Here we go | 20:58 |
| _antant | WOOHOO!!! | 20:59 |
| _antant | cheers Sysi | 21:01 |
| stanley_ | hi guys i'm using xubuntu 10.10 a bit of a newbie and all of my streaming video is slow, nothign else can anyone help me with this?\ | 23:09 |
| ochosi | what do you mean? your connection is slow or playback is choppy? | 23:09 |
| stanley_ | no playback is choppy it isn't flickering so I know i don;t have a bad refresh rate and I have very fast download and browsing speeds so I know my connection is good | 23:11 |
| ochosi | stanley_: well, i don't know what you used before but flash-performance is just not as good in linux as it is in windows | 23:16 |
| stanley_ | I did use windows before, do you think that would be the problem because its just about not worth it to watch streaming media thats how choppy the video is | 23:16 |
| ochosi | you can have a look what flashplayer-plugin you have installed, adobe's plugin is what usually works best | 23:17 |
| ochosi | but in general there's not very much you can do | 23:17 |
| ochosi | apart from trying a different browser maybe | 23:18 |
| ochosi | i hear chromium is a tad faster with flash | 23:18 |
| stanley_ | ok cool thanks alot | 23:21 |
| ochosi | stanley_: np | 23:24 |
