[00:02] so is unity coming to xubuntu ? [00:05] aaronth: no [00:07] oh thats good [00:07] it would weight it more [00:10] any news on ubuntu software center? [00:12] aaronth: what exactly do you mean? [00:20] the usc? or unity? [00:23] aaronth: neither of those have anything to do with xubuntu directly, i'd recommend asking about them in #ubuntu [00:24] well the unity does if i is installed in xubuntu [00:24] *it is === Unit193_ is now known as Unit193 === aberhow_ is now known as aberhow [04:41] Hi all! Is there an easy way to run xubuntu from a USB drive? [06:43] Why is my USB headset only detected half the time I boot? [07:09] AnneNonimus: try using a different usb port to see if it keeps happening [07:10] Well the thing is I can see the device using lsusb, but it doesn't register as an audio output source. [07:12] have you done anything to speed up the boot process? [07:13] or is the device being registered as being something else? [07:29] I haven't done anything to the boot process. [07:29] How do I check if the device is being detected as something else? [07:39] does it show in the X log at /var/log/Xorg.0.log as something else? - it'll be listed near the end === TheSheep_ is now known as TheSheep [07:42] X uses evdev to associate stuff so it might show in there [07:43] hi can i convert ubuntu server 10.04 to xubuntu? [07:45] You should be able to do "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" [07:45] Might be easier and cleaner to reinstall [07:47] the server install and xfce can make a lighter operating system [07:48] Then it wouldn't be xubuntu-desktop you need to install [07:50] The headset does show up in the log. [07:51] ubd: What are you looking to do? (sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop --no-install-recommends is yet another way of doing it...) [07:52] Well, after looking at the logs, it seems that the headset is being added as a keyboard. [07:53] AnneNonimus: there's not an entry in the log after that dregistering it? [07:53] Nope [07:54] AnneNonimus: you might need to check if the sound hardware needs something added in /etc/modules or similar [07:54] what is the soundcard? [07:55] How do I check? [07:55] in a terminal lspci | grep -i audio [07:56] Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) [07:56] iirc that'll use the intelhd driver [07:56] !intelhda [07:56] For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [07:57] that link might have a clue [07:57] Thanks [07:57] np [08:01] Unit193 thanks, could you tell me whats the difference of --no-install-recommends [08:02] ubd: That won't install the "recommended" software, only what it needs to fun xfce well [08:02] ^fun^run [08:04] allright [08:04] thanks! === Richard is now known as Guest91773 === ochosi_ is now known as ochosi === thermi is now known as Thermi [15:20] hey all [15:21] quick question. I am on ubuntu and i m trying to SSH into my fedora machine, the problem is that when i try it on both they say connection refused [15:21] they're on the same router [15:21] any ideas? [15:21] i know this isnt a xubuntu thing, but yeah... :/ [15:22] is the openssh server installed on the fedora machine? [15:23] you need the openssh server on a machine to be able to ssh into it [15:23] do u know the command? i m new to fedora. i dont know how to use YUM [15:23] me neither [15:23] i use ubuntu and debian :D [15:23] try googling it :) [15:24] ok i realized on my machine there isnt openssh server [15:50] openssh should be installed by default but you need to get it running [15:51] xubuntu sudo apt-get install ssh - fedora I think it yum install openssh or yum search ssh [15:51] openssh-server for the server [15:51] cool [15:53] Sysi, i don't think the server is installed by default [15:56] got it working btw [15:56] i had to install it [15:56] the server isnt installed by default [15:56] and then u have to swtich to su [15:56] and start the service [15:56] u cant start it on normal user permissions [15:56] but now i m trying to vnc [15:56] any ideas? [15:58] knome: in fedora it is, in xubuntu not [15:58] (is for my F14 xfce spin) [15:58] Sysi, i just had to install openssh server on fedora 14 [15:58] i dont know on LXDE it wasnt [15:59] openssh is installed but not server as i saw [16:01] Sysi, well this ain't a fedora support channel ;) === leoquant is now known as GuyFawkes [17:07] hey all. I need some help setting up VNC. I m getting this error trying to start up vncserver Starting VNC server: 2:cmlserver [FAILED] [17:10] salve a tutti! [17:11] salve! [17:11] volevo solo chiedervi una cosa perchè ho appena installato xubuntu [17:12] siccome ho xubuntu su un hd e win xp sull'altro mi chiedevo: all'avvio il grub mi visualizzerà la scelta di che sistema operativo avviare? nonostante siano su hd diversi.. [17:13] oh mio dio [17:13] non ci molto italian qui! [17:13] This is an english channel [17:13] !it [17:13] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [17:14] mi dispiace! [19:31] hello, what's the default screenshot program in xubuntu please (newish user here and can't figure out how to get that info from the applications panel) [19:32] xfce4-screenshooter(-plugin) [19:32] Xfce4-screenshooter [19:32] Snap [19:32] thanks, so thats the command I'd need for a new panel launcher thingy? [19:32] Actually... Snap'd be a great name for a screenshooter app [19:33] You'll need to download it from the repos [19:33] paul__, xfce4-screenshooter, yes [19:33] trying to drag from applications menu to panel doesn't work as I'd hoped [19:33] Try right-clicking yher [19:33] I think i did [19:33] right click → add new items should have screenshooter [19:33] Which Xfce do you have? [19:33] the panel and add it through the add to panel button [19:34] mark76, er not sure! charlie-tca yes I understand that bit thanks [19:35] thought i might just drag it from applications menu to panel [19:35] but can't lol [19:35] Which version of Xubuntu do you have? [19:35] The app and the panel app are not quite the same thing. There are two items even though they do work the same [19:36] oh latest xubuntu and xfce 4 [19:36] 10.10 or 11.04 Beta? [19:37] 10.10 :D [19:37] 10.10 has Xfce-4.6. Which doesn't support drag to panel [19:38] Drag to panel support has only been implemented in 4.8 [19:38] aka. coming in natty [19:38] Yeah [19:39] well that's good - it's what I'd expect to be able to do [19:39] There's a screenshooter plugin for the panel [19:39] ok i now have screenshot launcher with nice icon [19:39] Cool :) [19:40] i wanted it to use with Zim - the screenshot plugin for that program doesnt work too well [19:42] so, where is the application menu 'editor'? I sort of see where the menu list is stored (pretend to choose cutome menu o see location of default) but I thought looking.... [19:43] at that file might show me what commands are executed by each menu item and thereby find command for screenshot! [19:43] There isn't one [19:43] No menu editor until natty releases [19:43] lol, even a text file with the menu commands in? [19:43] You can find most of the menu information in the desktop files, though. It is in /usr/share/applications [19:44] right click them and select edit with... [19:44] or maybe open with... [19:44] You can't edit stuff in /usr/ unless you're root [19:45] but you can rread every file without being root [19:45] Well you can. You just can't save it [19:45] True [19:45] If you want to know the information for a launcher you create, you do not need to edit the file, you only need to read it [19:46] got it thanks, now i see xfce4-screenshooter ;) [19:47] I've used regular ubuntu and debian a little and netbook a little less but xubuntu is mighty fine on my old thinkpad - makes my xp desktop feel like treacle [19:48] :-) [19:50] What does XP stand for anyway? eXcessively Plastic? [19:50] eXPunged now [19:50] your face when you try to use it [19:52] how do i fix skype webcam?, its to dark [19:52] thank you for the help - I'm off to play with my wiki :P [20:14] hello: I need to mount my windows partition but it does not appear listed in the terminal when I run the "mount" command. I'm in Xubuntu 10.04. What can i do? [20:15] Applications -> System -> Gigolo [20:15] MIght need samba too, I don't know [20:15] !samba [20:15] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [20:21] charlie-tca: thanks man [20:21] You are welcome [20:25] Hi, I already tried ubuntu forums, with no answers [20:26] Please ask your question all in one line. All of us are volunteers and will attempt to answer if we know. [20:26] Anyone had problems with screen not waking up after monitor sleep (full sleep disabled) [20:26] HDD ligh flashes so I think it's screen only problem [20:27] It is probably video card related [20:27] Faravid, had some ~similar problems, disable monitor sleep. [20:27] I've thought about it, this old laptop has Savage IX/MX video card, which drivers I've read is not developed anymore [20:28] Also hardware acceleration fails to work though it should work [20:29] disabling monitor sleep is a little bit bad solution since this is a laptop and I wish I could use it with battery power, disabling sleep functions isn't the number one solution [20:30] Can I look for solution from logs? which log file contains information about monitor sleep and what I should look for? [20:37] sigh, off to test with xorg.conf [20:47] Got it to work somewhat, a while ago I created xorg.conf but afterwards I removed it, but now i realized from xorg log that xorg was still searching for it and said and error that config file is not present. Now I ran Xorg -configure and moved the new xorg.conf file to right folder [20:48] It works but Xfce desktop shuts down and I'm forced to log in with all the windows i previously had open were gone [20:48] save session, when you log out or shutdown [20:49] I put monitor to sleep, I did not log out or shut down [20:50] When i wake monitor I face Xfce login screen, after logging in all the windows are gone, that shouldn't be normal [20:50] question... :) when i follow - this howto http://geekyprojects.com/ubuntu/build-your-own-custom-ubuntu-livecd/ - but not removing ubiquity - will that render me an instaleble custom xubuntu install? [20:51] ubiquity is used by both ubuntu and xubuntu as the installer [20:52] Faravid: If you have not saved the session already, no matter how you get to the login screen, it starts with what is saved as the session. [20:52] That is the correct behavior for Xfce. [20:53] Is it possible to make it default to save the session before sleep or suspend? [20:54] that means that if i leave that package, any other changes i make in this ubuntu-customisation-kit will be also installed - [20:54] It's pretty unpractical to open everything again if you just leave the computer alone for couple of minutes [20:55] Faravid: Applications -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Sessions and Startup, session tab [20:55] One way is to logout, saving the session, then log back in. Then it should bring all the windows back each time [20:56] One moment, testing the auto save [21:05] Ok well, part of the problem solved, I had "lock screen" when laptop lid is closed, I disabled it and monitor woke up with everything intact [21:22] btw, screen saver config shouldn't right away initialize hard ware acceleration, in my case it causes Xfce to restart and I had to disable screen saver by terminal command [21:23] oh btw, got to test the screen saver after I changed xorg config [21:24] Instant crash [21:25] Instant Replay! [21:25] * mark76 does Dan Hartman impersonation [21:26] Sorry [21:26] Carry on [21:33] Could this have something to do with the crash? syslog: "Apr 6 23:23:33 Wanhus gdm-session-worker[4032]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_value_get_boolean: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOOLEAN (value)' failed" [21:53] question, should i try to compile DRI myself to fix 3d acceleration? (with the instructions from this site: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building) [22:00] Faravid, if you want to adventurous, but we can't really support that === Thermi is now known as thermi [22:04] so i should probably make an hdd image before trying that? ;) [22:05] probably.. [22:05] btw, does building dri make it difficult to install updates or distro upgrades? [22:05] it might just break things [22:05] ok so i won't even try [22:06] :) [22:07] i have one possible solution though, i will try to install video card from never version of this laptop, bought one from ebay just for testing if it is possible to install it to this laptop =P [22:07] :) [22:07] good luck! [22:07] bbl -> [22:08] thanks === Wicet2 is now known as Wicet [23:26] i can't select session at login [23:26] i have to change the default session using "Login Settings" and logout every single time [23:52] where should I list a error about Xubuntu?
