[00:16] jammonstrald: browse? === Soupermanito is now known as GridCube [01:15] hey [01:22] with a wubi install do you still do regular updates? [01:26] lapaga, yes. [01:26] thank you [01:26] no problem :) [03:53] 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] 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] just in case someone answered my question before I logged out can they repeat it - thanks === stephanmg is now known as stephan === stephan is now known as stephanmg [13:20] d [13:22] whois [13:23] show [15:33] Hiya [15:34] does anyone here have experience with installing ja2? [16:12] 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] you never log in a s root. [16:15] *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] bazhang: why not ? [16:15] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [16:16] ion_, not the way ubuntu does things [16:16] bazhang: yeah but if I need to ...? [16:16] ion_, for what [16:17] bazhang: install something using dpkg or run a software that I can do only as root user [16:17] ion_, install what/run what [16:18] use apt-get, not dpkg [16:18] ion_: just read that link [16:19] bazhang:TheSheep: I'm doing it now ...but why ubuntu are doing this ? [16:19] ion_, the link not clear? [16:21] bazhang: I'm not agree with what they say but anyway .... [16:21] ion_: Because it makes it harder for people like you to mess their system up. There, it that clear enough? [16:21] ion_, please answer my questions [16:21] drc: please don't be rude [16:22] bazhang:yeah I'm reading.. [16:22] TheSheep: Mea culpa...haven't had my first cuppa yet. [16:23] bazhang:TheSheep: sorry if you got me wrong I wasn't rude... [16:23] ion_: I know, it wasn't about you :) [16:23] drc: cheers [16:24] TheSheep: I think you guys understand me ...because Linux is all about freedom..to do whatever you want with your box.. [16:24] Thanks guys.... [16:27] TheSheep: There, I'm better now :) [16:27] Sorry ion_. [16:27] 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] ion_: with root account, there is a temptation to just always log in as root [16:30] 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] guys I even can log as a # even sudo doesn't work in my machine I can't perfom any task [16:33] that's the actuall situation... [16:33] ion_, what version of ubuntu are you using? [16:34] Lucid 10.04 LTS [16:35] ion_, and sudo does nothing? [16:36] bazhang: yep [16:36] ion_, how did it arrive at this state? [16:37] bazhang: that's the poing I haven' done nothing yet....I just installed the system... [16:40] bazhang: so I'm looked out of my own machine ..right now I can perfom tasks using the installer only. [16:41] * locked [16:45] done ....thanks anyone ... [16:58] 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] ion_, sudo password is initial user password set up when you installed [16:59] there is not a root password. [17:03] bazhang: so I can't use different one ? [17:03] ion_, for what [17:04] bazhang: increase security.... [17:04] ion_, that wont increase security.. [17:07] bazhang: no ? I mean if I have one password for log in the system and other to run tasks that needs # [17:08] ion_, what needs root? [17:10] bazhang: well if I need to install third-part sofware I need root. [17:10] ion_, what software [17:10] bazhang: skype for instance ... [17:10] ion_: you can have users on your system that don't have access to sudo [17:10] ion_: if that helps [17:11] ion_: only the users who are in the admin group have it [17:11] ion_, sudo [17:11] TheSheep: yeah this helps.... === Guest95045 is now known as m00se === m00se is now known as Guest76952 === Guest76952 is now known as m00se === michael_ is now known as xGrind [19:31] 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] 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] Unpack it and drop the folder in /usr/share/themes [19:44] or ~/.themes [19:44] It may work to drop the resulting folder in ~/.themes, but I have never tried that. [19:44] Guess it would work :) [19:45] drc have to go on root to do this [19:46] If you put it in /usr/share/themes, yes...in ~/.themes, I would think no [19:48] no ~/.themes found [19:48] whats the keybinding to see hiden fils [19:48] files [19:48] Not by default...make on [19:49] CTRL H [19:49] oh ok and linux will detect it in appearance? [19:50] Dunno, I think so (never tried it) but TheSheep say so, so it must be correct :) [19:50] Think I'll actual;y try it :) [19:51] The folder could not be created permission denied [19:52] Hello?

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] I got confused. [20:02] I tried to add Notification Area, but it is grayed out. [20:02] elizabethanne: right mouse click on the panel, Add New Items, Indicator Plugin [20:02] elizabethanne: That mean you already have a notification area. [20:03] okay--I did. I still don't see any wireless icon, though. [20:04] Do I close Add New Items, then?
