[07:54] <zruty> In Ubuntu no problem connecting to SMB share, but in Xubuntu same connection errors with "invalid". What can I check?
[08:16] <Sysi> zruty: how you're connecting?
[08:22] <zruty> Sysi: On Ubuntu in Nautilus, typing the address in the locator bar. In Xubuntu with Gigolo.
[08:29] <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.
[08:30] <Sysi> uhm, i think i've seen that but dunno how to actually fix it
[08:30] <Sysi> you could try google
[12:29] <xubuntu066> Hi
[12:30] <xubuntu066> Do you speak Russian?
[12:30] <Sysi> no
[12:30] <xubuntu066> I test xubuntu first time.
[12:30] <xubuntu066> ok
[12:30] <knome> !ru | xubuntu066
[12:32] <xubuntu066> Last month I use ubuntu 10.10. but my komputer was slowly. Does Kubuntu help me make my computet faster
[13:39] <xiaoshen> hello^
[13:40] <xiaoshen> i'm about to install xubuntu 10.10
[13:41] <xiaoshen> i want to know what are the advantages by manually create the partitions when installing
[13:49] <Sysi> you get to choose what kinda partition setup you want
[13:52] <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.
[13:54] <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 /
[13:55] <xiaoshen> but i haven't faced problem like that before
[13:56] <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
[13:59] <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
[14:00] <xiaoshen> oh?
[14:00] <xiaoshen> so then if you reinstall for the 1st time then you have 2 /home
[14:00] <xiaoshen> ?
[14:01] <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.
[14:02] <xiaoshen> oh
[14:02] <xiaoshen> i see
[14:04] <xiaoshen> PaulW2U, so when i do the reinstallation i only need to define / and swap
[14:06] <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?
[14:07] <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.
[14:08] <xiaoshen> then how to tell the installer that i want to use the existing /home?
[14:11] <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"
[14:12] <xiaoshen>  PaulW2U, i got it now, sorry for asking such basic question ^^'
[14:13] <xiaoshen> oh it's ok to use /ext4?
[14:14] <PaulW2U> Yes, all my partitions are ext4
[14:14] <xiaoshen> so it's stable
[14:15] <xiaoshen> oh last time i used xubuntu the thunar is very basic, is there any improvement in 10.10
[16:07] <xiaoshen> hello^
[16:07] <xiaoshen> i get some problem with xfce panel
[16:08] <xiaoshen> how to reset it into the 1st insatalled 1
[18:44] <cobra-the-joker> Hey guys ... will 10.04 get XFCE 4.8 ?
[18:53] <cobra-the-joker> any body here
[18:57] <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
[18:58] <ochosi> cobra-the-joker: or let's say i'm really sceptical about that
[19:01] <cobra-the-joker> ochosi: i hope it will
[19:01] <ochosi> cobra-the-joker: have you tried the ppa-version for maverick or lucid?
[19:02] <Sysi> 4.8 is nice, but it doesn't have launcher-moving bug in 10.04, like in 10.10
[19:06] <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
[19:43] <zer0s>  hey guys can you help me get lidbtn.sh working properly?
[19:45] <Sysi> what is lidbtn.sh?
[19:46] <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
[19:47] <zer0s> when i open the lid, it won't come back
[19:47] <Sysi> xfce4-power-manager should handle that
[19:48] <zer0s> it doesn't
[19:48] <zer0s> unfortunately
[19:48] <zer0s> :/
[19:48] <zer0s> i tried
[19:49] <Sysi> sounds problem is lower level then
[19:50] <zer0s> that's why i tried to work inside /etc/acpi/events
[19:51] <zer0s> i'm starting to think i should go to 10.04...10.10 is nothing but headaches
[20:43] <_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
[20:45] <_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
[20:46] <Sysi> if you didn't install propiatary drivers, remove possibly text-plymouth theme and maybe reinstall the regular one
[20:48] <_antant> I've tried changing the plymouth theme and it doesn't do anything
[20:54] <_antant> I'm using the ATI video drivers
[20:55] <Sysi> propietary? there are some fixes but i don't know, google does
[20:58] <_antant> Right. Here we go
[20:59] <_antant> WOOHOO!!!
[21:01] <_antant> cheers Sysi
[23:09] <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?
[23:11] <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
[23:16] <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
[23:17] <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
[23:18] <ochosi> apart from trying a different browser maybe
[23:18] <ochosi> i hear chromium is a tad faster with flash
[23:21] <stanley_> ok cool thanks alot
[23:24] <ochosi> stanley_: np
