[00:16] <TheSheep> jammonstrald: browse?
[01:15] <alexCoder> hey
[01:22] <lapaga> with a wubi install do you still do regular updates?
[01:26] <xrdodrx> lapaga, yes.
[01:26] <lapaga> thank you
[01:26] <xrdodrx> no problem :)
[03:53] <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.
[03:54] <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
[04:05] <lapaga> just in case someone answered my question before I logged out can they repeat it - thanks

[13:22] <xubuntu420> whois

[15:33] <zylinder> Hiya
[15:34] <zylinder> does anyone here have experience with installing ja2?
[16:12] <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..
[16:15] <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
[16:16] <bazhang> ion_, not the way ubuntu does things
[16:16] <ion_> bazhang: yeah but if I need to ...?
[16:16] <bazhang> ion_, for what
[16:17] <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
[16:18] <bazhang> use apt-get, not dpkg
[16:18] <TheSheep> ion_: just read that link
[16:19] <ion_> bazhang:TheSheep: I'm doing it now ...but why ubuntu are doing this ?
[16:19] <bazhang> ion_, the link not clear?
[16:21] <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
[16:22] <ion_> bazhang:yeah I'm reading..
[16:22] <drc> TheSheep: Mea culpa...haven't had my first cuppa yet.
[16:23] <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
[16:24] <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....
[16:27] <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
[16:28] <TheSheep> ion_: with root account, there is a temptation to just always log in as root
[16:30] <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)
[16:32] <ion_> guys I even can log as a # even sudo doesn't work in my machine I can't perfom any task
[16:33] <ion_> that's the actuall situation...
[16:33] <bazhang> ion_, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[16:34] <ion_> Lucid 10.04 LTS
[16:35] <bazhang> ion_, and sudo does nothing?
[16:36] <ion_> bazhang: yep
[16:36] <bazhang> ion_, how did it arrive at this state?
[16:37] <ion_> bazhang: that's the poing I haven' done nothing yet....I just installed the system...
[16:40] <ion_> bazhang: so I'm looked out of my own machine ..right now I can perfom tasks using the installer only.
[16:41] <ion_> * locked
[16:45] <ion_> done ....thanks anyone ...
[16:58] <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 #
[16:59] <bazhang> ion_, sudo password is initial user password set up when you installed
[16:59] <bazhang> there is not a root password.
[17:03] <ion_> bazhang: so I can't use different one ?
[17:03] <bazhang> ion_, for what
[17:04] <ion_> bazhang: increase security....
[17:04] <bazhang> ion_, that wont increase security..
[17:07] <ion_> bazhang: no ? I mean if I have one password for log in the system and other to run tasks that needs #
[17:08] <bazhang> ion_, what needs root?
[17:10] <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
[17:11] <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....
[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] <djiefo> Hi. what the manipulation to install a theme file .gz    I tried drag and drop and it seems to not working for me :)
[19:42] <drc> Unpack it and drop the folder in /usr/share/themes
[19:44] <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 :)
[19:45] <djiefo> drc have to go on root to do this
[19:46] <drc> If you put it in /usr/share/themes, yes...in ~/.themes, I would think no
[19:48] <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
[19:49] <drc> CTRL H
[19:49] <djiefo> oh ok and linux will detect it in appearance?
[19:50] <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 :)
[19:51] <djiefo> The folder could not be created permission denied
[19:52] <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
[19:53] <elizabethanne> ?
[19:54] <djiefo> drc,  i don't have /usr/ in my home folder
[19:54] <drc> djiefo: NO
[19:55] <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
[19:56] <djiefo> drc,  how to create it through terminal?
[19:57] <drc> mkdir .themes
[19:59] <elizabethanne> ?
[20:00] <drc> elizabethanne: You mean you deleted the entire indicator-plugin?
[20:01] <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.
[20:02] <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.
[20:03] <elizabethanne> okay--I did. I still don't see any wireless icon, though.
[20:04] <elizabethanne> Do I close Add New Items, then?
[20:05] <drc> yes, try restarting/rebooting.
[20:05] <elizabethanne> Weird--I tried to go to "Synaptic Package Manager" , but it's now called "Package manager>
[20:06] <lostson> hmm odd mine says synaptic package manager
[20:06] <drc> mine too
[20:06] <drc> djiefo: What?
[20:07] <elizabethanne> Yeah. Something isn't right. let me try rebooting, though. Wish me luck!
[20:07] <drc> Luck!
[20:09] <drc> back in 5 min
[20:20] <drc> back
[20:21] <drc> What was your last question djiefo ?
[20:22] <drc> Hey GridCube o/
[20:22] <GridCube> hey o/
[20:22] <djiefo> drc, the problem is solve :) But not I don't opacity settings in ccsm
[20:23] <drc> ccsm?  you added it to Zubuntu?
[20:23] <djiefo> drc,  nevermind
[20:23] <djiefo> drc,  yes
[20:23] <djiefo> Xubuntu*
[20:23] <drc> OK, That's easy :)
[20:24] <djiefo> yeah because actually, i'm a pure noob with linux, and 5 days of work and this computer can do anything I need :)
[20:25] <drc> You're doing better than I am, after years of work, my computer still won't fetch me a beer :)
[20:26] <GridCube> drc you need to install the coffe protocol and patch it
[20:27] <drc> Ah....
