[00:00] <Coso> could anyone help me? i'm wondering if i can burn xubuntu on a dvd instead of a cd
[00:15] <psycho_oreos> yes
[00:23] <Coso> thanks,
[05:51] <dbm> hello
[09:38] <just_some_guest> xubuntu 10.04, xfce 4.6 -- is there a graphical xfce menu editor yet?
[09:40] <TheSheep> no
[09:42] <just_some_guest> thanks.
[19:14] <mark76> I have a grub failure
[19:15] <mark76> Can anyone tell me how to get from grub rescue> to a command line prompt?
[19:15] <charlie-tca> !grub2
[19:16] <Sysi> that sounds like grub command line
[19:16] <mark76> Please don't do that
[19:16] <Sysi> i recommend reinstalling it from cd
[19:16] <mark76> Just tell me the command I need
[19:16] <charlie-tca> That is where the answer is. try it
[19:16] <mark76> It's too long and I'm too tired to read it all
[19:16] <charlie-tca> mark76: you can read it as easy as I can to find that answer
[19:19] <mark76> It's too long and I don't know what to look for
[19:19] <mark76> Ah there it is
[19:19] <charlie-tca> Okay,. I will read it and see if I can find it then
[19:20] <mark76> Last boot failed or boot into recovery mode
[19:20] <mark76> Oh God. I'll never remember all that
[19:20] <mark76> I might as well just install a new OS
[19:21] <mark76> Ah. Reinstalling from a livecd
[19:21] <mark76> That's the one
[19:23] <mark76> grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot (is /dev mounted?).
[19:25] <mark76> I've deleted my root partition somehow
[19:25] <mark76> :(
[19:26] <efpc2003> oh!
[19:26] <Sysi> mark76: you read the instructions?
[19:26] <mark76> I'm going to have to reinstall
[19:26] <mark76> No point Sysi. I don't have a root partition anymore
[19:26] <efpc2003> partition deleted or unmounted?
[19:26] <mark76> Deleted
[19:26] <mark76> Gone
[19:27] <efpc2003> ok
[19:27] <mark76> No wait it's still there according to gparted
[19:27] <mark76> So why isn't it showing in Places?
[19:27] <efpc2003> hey some one else knows what to do in this case?
[19:27] <efpc2003> some.....recovery tool etc
[19:28] <efpc2003> I see
[19:30] <mark76> Okay. I can't mount /dev/sda1
[19:31] <efpc2003> mark76: good luck
[19:31] <efpc2003> reinstall and don't format other partitions
[19:36] <mark76> This is weird
[19:36] <mark76> I put a debian live cd in and managed to boot into my normal session
[19:36] <charlie-tca> then root must still be there
[19:36] <mark76> Indeed
[19:36] <mark76> So now I should be able to fix grub from here
[19:37] <efpc2003> your root partition is there?
[19:37] <efpc2003> or your live-root
[19:37] <efpc2003> jeje
[19:37] <mark76> I'm in my normal Ubuntu session
[19:38] <efpc2003> ok
[19:38] <mark76> So I must have root
[19:38] <efpc2003> yes
[19:38] <efpc2003> what about grub?
[19:38] <mark76> I've just run sudo update-grub
[19:39] <efpc2003> if you delete grub don't forget to install another boot manager
[19:39] <efpc2003> as lilo
[19:39] <mark76> I'm definitely not running off the live CD
[19:40] <efpc2003> aha
[19:40] <efpc2003> 10 min brb
[19:41] <mark76> I'll reboot when my tea's ready
[19:41] <mark76> See if it worked
[19:41] <Sysi> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/ /dev/sdX should workif you are on your installation
[19:41] <Sysi> if update grub didn't work
[19:41] <mark76> K
[19:46] <mark76> Yay! :D
[19:48] <mark76> If only flash would work with bbc news
[19:48] <knome> flash on bbc news? ;)
[19:49] <Sysi> if i could watch bbc tv programs here..
[19:49] <Sysi> doctor <3
[19:49] <mark76> See this page? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/brighton/9432161.stm
[19:50] <mark76> The video plays for you, doesn't it
[19:50] <mark76> But not for me
[19:51] <mark76> I've tried unistalling flash and reinstalling it but nothing changes
[19:51] <mark76> I can watch videos on some sites. Like youtube and iplayer
[19:51] <mark76> But there are lots that just won't work
[19:52] <mark76> And I don't know why
[19:52] <Sysi> check that you don't have gnash or swfdec installed
[19:52] <mark76> I don't
[19:53] <mark76> Though I do have a folder in my home directory from when I tried gnash out
[19:53] <mark76> I deleted it
[19:54] <mark76> Made no difference
[20:04] <Dene_> sorry, but could anyone help me? i just installed xubuntu but the sound doesn't work
[20:04] <Dene_> it was working earlier with the live cd
[20:13] <mark76> Can anyone think of a reason why I can't watch BBC streams?
[20:15] <mark76> And, no I'm not in the wrong country
[20:16] <mark76> And it doesn't affect IPlayer
[20:16] <mark76> Which is weird
[20:16] <mark76> Why doesn't it affect IPlayer?
[20:21] <cfs_> Hey. How do I change the login background image in Xubuntu? I was able to do it in FedoraSpin xfce by just putting a background image in /usr/share/backgrounds
[20:52] <mark76> It's not fair that I can't watch BBC streams
[20:52] <mark76> I want to watch BBC streams
[21:03] <Sysi> try turning off hardware acceleration
[21:32] <mark76> I did, Sysi, but it just turns itself back on again
[21:38] <lrussell> hi
[21:38] <lrussell> anyone here?
[21:39] <bazhang> yep
[21:39] <lrussell> I cant fin the features page for xbuntu
[21:39] <lrussell> *find
[21:39] <knome> what "features" are you thinking?
[21:40] <lrussell> like web browser, office stuff, etc
[21:40] <lrussell> also, is it compattibe with a wireless network card?
[21:41] <knome> should be as compatible as ubuntu
[21:41] <knome> firefox is the default web browser
[21:41] <lrussell> ok
[21:41] <knome> office: abiword for text and gnumeric for spreadsheets, but you can easily install libreoffice
[21:41] <lrussell> I've never really used ubuntu... not for my laptop
[21:42] <Sysi> trey from livecd/usb
[21:42] <lrussell> will it work with a network card designed for windows?
[21:42] <knome> as Sysi said, you should try with the livecd :)
[21:42] <lrussell> ok
[21:44] <lrussell> knome, r u using xbuntu right now?
[21:45] <lrussell> gah, xbuntu torrent is slow.. not even making 100kb a sec
[21:45] <knome> lrussell, yeah, i am
[21:46] <lrussell> could u give me a software page for xbuntu
[21:47] <lrussell> to get software not listed in the list on the os
[21:47] <knome> lrussell, you can use the ubuntu repositories
[21:47] <lrussell> i can?
[21:47] <knome> lrussell, when you install xubuntu, either run the ubuntu software center or synaptic
[21:47] <knome> yes, ubuntu and xubuntu use the same repositories
[21:48] <knome> and they are fully compatible
[21:52] <lrussell_> so everything compatiable with ubuntu is compatiable with xbuntu?
[21:52] <knome> yes
[21:53] <lrussell_> is this a good site to get software? http://www.getdeb.net/welcome/
[21:54] <charlie-tca> The best place to get software is either the Ubuntu Software Center or Synaptic Package Manager, as knome said.
[21:55] <lrussell_> ok...
[21:55] <lrussell_> can i connect to a windows file network the xbuntu? I kinda wanted to
[21:56] <Sysi> yes
[21:56] <charlie-tca> Use Applications -> System -> Gigolo
[21:56] <lrussell_> really?
[21:56] <lrussell_> :D
[21:56] <lrussell_> so if i have files being shared on a network on windows xp i can connect to them through xbuntu?
[21:58] <lrussell_> hello?
[21:59] <lrussell_> torrent is finally going 700 kb/ps!
[22:21] <Mastrius0713> I have a problem for ya. I've installed ProFTPd and its shell program Gadmin-Proftpd, after putting in my user accounts and made modifications to the server interface for the default server, I get this error:
[22:24] <Mastrius0713> - notice: Unable to bind to Unix Domain socket at 'var/run/proftpd/test.sock': so such file or directory
[22:24] <Mastrius0713> - notice: unable to listen to local socket: Operation not permitted
[22:24] <Mastrius0713> - Fatal: TLSRSACertificateFile: '/ect/gadmin-proftpd/certs/certs.pem' does not exist on line 57 of 'ect/proftpd/proftpd.conf'
[22:26] <charlie-tca> so, you looked in /etc/gadmin-proftpd/certs and the file certs.pem does exist?
[22:26] <Mastrius0713> I couldn't even get into the folder, said access denied
[22:26] <charlie-tca> Probably have to be root to see it then
[22:27] <Mastrius0713> how do I get root access?
[22:27] <charlie-tca> I do it with gksu thunar using Alt+F2
[22:28] <Mastrius0713> I'm not sure what that is
[22:28] <charlie-tca> on the keyboard, Alt+F2?
[22:28] <charlie-tca> are you using Xubuntu?
[22:28] <Mastrius0713> yes
[22:29] <charlie-tca> hold Alt and press F2 ?
[22:29] <Mastrius0713> I did that
[22:29] <Mastrius0713> I don't know what gksu is though
[22:29] <charlie-tca> and you got a little window that you can type on one line of, so you type      gksu thunar
[22:30] <charlie-tca> it allows gui apps to run as root
[22:32] <Sysi> https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[22:35] <Mastrius0713> There doesn't seem to be a folder called certs under GADMIN-ProFTPD folder
[22:36] <Mastrius0713> so I guess there is no certs.prm
[22:38] <charlie-tca> So, it needs to be configured correctly, might want to look at that guide Sysi gave for more help with the server part
[22:57] <Mastrius0713> I searched the system but didn't find the certs.pem
[22:59] <Mastrius0713> I don't know, but maybe I should skip back to Xubuntu 9 :\
[22:59] <Mastrius0713> I never had this kind of problem when setting up on it.
