| alexCoder | hey | 01:15 |
| lapaga | with a wubi install do you still do regular updates? | 01:22 |
| xrdodrx | lapaga, yes. | 01:26 |
| lapaga | thank you | 01:26 |
| xrdodrx | no problem :) | 01:26 |
| lapaga | when I start into the desktop a box pops up saying the xfce4-panel failed to load and asks if I want to load it. | 03:53 |
| lapaga | it then tells me to save the session to prevent this in the future. i do not see an option to xfce4-session --save | 03:54 |
| lapaga | just in case someone answered my question before I logged out can they repeat it - thanks | 04:05 |

| zylinder | Hiya | 15:33 |
| zylinder | does anyone here have experience with installing ja2? | 15:34 |
| ion_ | I can't log as a root user only ... however when I want to install something I can do it the system ask me for a password.. | 16:12 |
| bazhang | you never log in a s root. | 16:15 |
| drc | *buntu's are set up not to need to be root. If you attempt to do something that requires root privliges you use sudo/gksudo. When it asks for a password, use your password. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 16:15 |
| ion_ | bazhang: why not ? | 16:15 |
| drc | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 16:15 |
| bazhang | ion_, not the way ubuntu does things | 16:16 |
| ion_ | bazhang: yeah but if I need to ...? | 16:16 |
| bazhang | ion_, for what | 16:16 |
| ion_ | bazhang: install something using dpkg or run a software that I can do only as root user | 16:17 |
| bazhang | ion_, install what/run what | 16:17 |
| bazhang | use apt-get, not dpkg | 16:18 |
| TheSheep | ion_: just read that link | 16:18 |
| ion_ | bazhang:TheSheep: I'm doing it now ...but why ubuntu are doing this ? | 16:19 |
| bazhang | ion_, the link not clear? | 16:19 |
| ion_ | bazhang: I'm not agree with what they say but anyway .... | 16:21 |
| drc | ion_: Because it makes it harder for people like you to mess their system up. There, it that clear enough? | 16:21 |
| bazhang | ion_, please answer my questions | 16:21 |
| TheSheep | drc: please don't be rude | 16:21 |
| ion_ | bazhang:yeah I'm reading.. | 16:22 |
| drc | TheSheep: Mea culpa...haven't had my first cuppa yet. | 16:22 |
| ion_ | bazhang:TheSheep: sorry if you got me wrong I wasn't rude... | 16:23 |
| TheSheep | ion_: I know, it wasn't about you :) | 16:23 |
| TheSheep | drc: cheers | 16:23 |
| ion_ | TheSheep: I think you guys understand me ...because Linux is all about freedom..to do whatever you want with your box.. | 16:24 |
| ion_ | Thanks guys.... | 16:24 |
| drc | TheSheep: There, I'm better now :) | 16:27 |
| drc | Sorry ion_. | 16:27 |
| TheSheep | ion_: sudo gives you the same rights as logging into root, but makes it easier to only have those rights when you really need them | 16:27 |
| TheSheep | ion_: with root account, there is a temptation to just always log in as root | 16:28 |
| drc | ion_: If you nedd to "be" root for a period of time, you can sudo -i in a terminal, this will allow you to be root until *that* ternimal is closed. (See man sudo) | 16:30 |
| ion_ | guys I even can log as a # even sudo doesn't work in my machine I can't perfom any task | 16:32 |
| ion_ | that's the actuall situation... | 16:33 |
| bazhang | ion_, what version of ubuntu are you using? | 16:33 |
| ion_ | Lucid 10.04 LTS | 16:34 |
| bazhang | ion_, and sudo does nothing? | 16:35 |
| ion_ | bazhang: yep | 16:36 |
| bazhang | ion_, how did it arrive at this state? | 16:36 |
| ion_ | bazhang: that's the poing I haven' done nothing yet....I just installed the system... | 16:37 |
| ion_ | bazhang: so I'm looked out of my own machine ..right now I can perfom tasks using the installer only. | 16:40 |
| ion_ | * locked | 16:41 |
| ion_ | done ....thanks anyone ... | 16:45 |
| ion_ | bazhang: one last question ...how to I set up a password for sudo too becauser right now just running sudo -i I can have privileges like # | 16:58 |
| bazhang | ion_, sudo password is initial user password set up when you installed | 16:59 |
| bazhang | there is not a root password. | 16:59 |
| ion_ | bazhang: so I can't use different one ? | 17:03 |
| bazhang | ion_, for what | 17:03 |
| ion_ | bazhang: increase security.... | 17:04 |
| bazhang | ion_, that wont increase security.. | 17:04 |
| ion_ | bazhang: no ? I mean if I have one password for log in the system and other to run tasks that needs # | 17:07 |
| bazhang | ion_, what needs root? | 17:08 |
| ion_ | bazhang: well if I need to install third-part sofware I need root. | 17:10 |
| bazhang | ion_, what software | 17:10 |
| ion_ | bazhang: skype for instance ... | 17:10 |
| TheSheep | ion_: you can have users on your system that don't have access to sudo | 17:10 |
| TheSheep | ion_: if that helps | 17:10 |
| TheSheep | ion_: only the users who are in the admin group have it | 17:11 |
| bazhang | ion_, sudo | 17:11 |
| ion_ | TheSheep: yeah this helps.... | 17:11 |

| djiefo | Hi. what the manipulation to install a theme file .gz I tried drag and drop and it seems to not working for me :) | 19:31 |
| djiefo | Hi. what the manipulation to install a theme file .gz I tried drag and drop and it seems to not working for me :) | 19:34 |
| drc | Unpack it and drop the folder in /usr/share/themes | 19:42 |
| TheSheep | or ~/.themes | 19:44 |
| drc | It may work to drop the resulting folder in ~/.themes, but I have never tried that. | 19:44 |
| drc | Guess it would work :) | 19:44 |
| djiefo | drc have to go on root to do this | 19:45 |
| drc | If you put it in /usr/share/themes, yes...in ~/.themes, I would think no | 19:46 |
| djiefo | no ~/.themes found | 19:48 |
| djiefo | whats the keybinding to see hiden fils | 19:48 |
| djiefo | files | 19:48 |
| drc | Not by default...make on | 19:48 |
| drc | CTRL H | 19:49 |
| djiefo | oh ok and linux will detect it in appearance? | 19:49 |
| drc | Dunno, I think so (never tried it) but TheSheep say so, so it must be correct :) | 19:50 |
| drc | Think I'll actual;y try it :) | 19:50 |
| djiefo | The folder could not be created permission denied | 19:51 |
| elizabethanne | Hello? | 19:52 |
| drc | in your home folder? | 19:52 |
| djiefo | yes | 19:52 |
| djiefo | drc, no in File System | 19:52 |
| djiefo | drc, sry | 19:52 |
| elizabethanne | ? | 19:53 |
| djiefo | drc, i don't have /usr/ in my home folder | 19:54 |
| drc | djiefo: NO | 19:54 |
| drc | You're doing it wrong | 19:55 |
| djiefo | drc, yeah i know | 19:55 |
| drc | Make this directory | 19:55 |
| elizabethanne | Please, I accidentally deleted the Wireless icon from the top panel in Xubuntu 11.04. Whenever I try rebooting back into Xubuntu, the icon appears for the briefest nano-second, then vanishes. | 19:55 |
| elizabethanne | I'm sorry. | 19:55 |
| drc | ~/.themes, either in a terminal or use thunar | 19:55 |
| djiefo | drc, how to create it through terminal? | 19:56 |
| drc | mkdir .themes | 19:57 |

| djiefo | drc, aud-Default is the skin to take in case? | 20:01 |
| elizabethanne | I'm an idiot--yes, I did. I was trying to customise the bottom panel at the time, but I didn't realise that "Panel 1" was selected. I'm really sorry to bother you. | 20:01 |
| elizabethanne | I got confused. | 20:01 |
| elizabethanne | I tried to add Notification Area, but it is grayed out. | 20:02 |
| drc | elizabethanne: right mouse click on the panel, Add New Items, Indicator Plugin | 20:02 |
| drc | elizabethanne: That mean you already have a notification area. | 20:02 |
| elizabethanne | okay--I did. I still don't see any wireless icon, though. | 20:03 |
| elizabethanne | Do I close Add New Items, then? | 20:04 |
| drc | yes, try restarting/rebooting. | 20:05 |
