[06:49] hello, can anyone help me? [06:50] anyone here? [06:54] hello [06:54] ?? [06:54] i have installed xubuntu but cannot see disk drives like ubuntu [06:55] hello??? [06:55] can anybody tell me?? [07:54] In Ubuntu no problem connecting to SMB share, but in Xubuntu same connection errors with "invalid". What can I check? [08:16] zruty: how you're connecting? [08:22] Sysi: On Ubuntu in Nautilus, typing the address in the locator bar. In Xubuntu with Gigolo. [08:29] 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] uhm, i think i've seen that but dunno how to actually fix it [08:30] you could try google [12:29] Hi [12:30] Do you speak Russian? [12:30] no [12:30] I test xubuntu first time. [12:30] ok [12:30] !ru | xubuntu066 [12:30] xubuntu066: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [12:32] Last month I use ubuntu 10.10. but my komputer was slowly. Does Kubuntu help me make my computet faster [13:39] hello^ [13:40] i'm about to install xubuntu 10.10 [13:41] i want to know what are the advantages by manually create the partitions when installing [13:49] you get to choose what kinda partition setup you want [13:52] 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] 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] but i haven't faced problem like that before [13:56] i do/did reinstallation often, separate /home is handy [13:56] if you just need to have data safe, it doesn't need to be /home but just some partition [13:59] Sysi, when everytime you do reinstallation you don't have to define /home anymore? [13:59] Yes you do, but you tell the installer NOT to format the partition [14:00] oh? [14:00] so then if you reinstall for the 1st time then you have 2 /home === istok is now known as chmod [14:00] ? [14:01] 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] oh [14:02] i see [14:04] PaulW2U, so when i do the reinstallation i only need to define / and swap [14:06] You still need to define where /home is but you must tell the installer NOT to format /home. [14:06] i don't need to define /home ,beccuse i want to use my existing /home [14:06] You still need to define where /home? [14:07] how? [14:07] 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] then how to tell the installer that i want to use the existing /home? [14:11] 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] PaulW2U, i got it now, sorry for asking such basic question ^^' [14:13] oh it's ok to use /ext4? [14:14] Yes, all my partitions are ext4 [14:14] so it's stable [14:15] oh last time i used xubuntu the thunar is very basic, is there any improvement in 10.10 [16:07] hello^ [16:07] i get some problem with xfce panel [16:08] how to reset it into the 1st insatalled 1 [18:44] Hey guys ... will 10.04 get XFCE 4.8 ? [18:53] any body here [18:57] cobra-the-joker: afaik there is a ppa for that [18:57] cobra-the-joker: not sure the xubuntu-dev team will make an "official" backport [18:58] cobra-the-joker: or let's say i'm really sceptical about that [19:01] ochosi: i hope it will [19:01] cobra-the-joker: have you tried the ppa-version for maverick or lucid? [19:02] 4.8 is nice, but it doesn't have launcher-moving bug in 10.04, like in 10.10 [19:06] ochosi: no ... didnt try it yet [19:06] maybe i try on a VM [19:06] dont trust ppa very much .. especially in something like a DE [19:43] hey guys can you help me get lidbtn.sh working properly? [19:45] what is lidbtn.sh? [19:46] its supposed to determine what the screen is going to do when the laptop lid is closed [19:46] or open [19:46] while it does its job of turning off the screen [19:47] when i open the lid, it won't come back [19:47] xfce4-power-manager should handle that [19:48] it doesn't [19:48] unfortunately [19:48] :/ [19:48] i tried [19:49] sounds problem is lower level then [19:50] that's why i tried to work inside /etc/acpi/events [19:51] 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] 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] 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] 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] what do you mean? your connection is slow or playback is choppy? [23:11] 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] 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] 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] you can have a look what flashplayer-plugin you have installed, adobe's plugin is what usually works best [23:17] but in general there's not very much you can do [23:18] apart from trying a different browser maybe [23:18] i hear chromium is a tad faster with flash [23:21] ok cool thanks alot [23:24] stanley_: np
