charlie-tcaraevol: there is a bug on file for that. It should get fixed soonly00:05
charlie-tcaoh, soonish00:05
raevolthanks charlie-tca00:06
charlie-tcaWe are modifying the feature, I think, to make it work better. It really is caused by trying to connect to a network.00:09
GridCubethe hp printer installer is telling me broken dependencies one for one XD00:13
charlie-tcaheh, ain't that fun? ;-)00:18

Wizardi have a question according to usb installation, do i need a install cd to prepare usb installation stick? or it will use existing installed system as source?07:01
ChainerI believe you don't - depending on what OS you are running right now, the instructions for how to make a USB installation stick are here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download07:10
Chaineron step 2.07:10
Unit193You should have the ISO (IIRC)07:11
Wizardyeah, seems i need an iso07:20

n2diyCan someone help me throttle my cpu fan? I've found the controller with sensors-detect, and the module is loaded, but pwmconfig says it can't find any pwm devices?14:24
yomyomWhat partition setup do people find works best for them? I have a 500gb HD and I'm wracked with indecision, heh.14:41
yomyomAlso, is there any reason to have a swap partition if you have 4gb of ram?14:42
bazhangseparate home , / , perhaps /boot14:42
bazhangwhy not14:42
yomyomDoes the order of partitions matter?14:42
bazhangyou have ample space so 4gb for swap14:42
charlie-tcapersonally, I use separate /, /home, /swap that is 2x ram, separate /var/log14:48
charlie-tcathe /swap so that if I decide to use suspend to disk, the swap is big enough for it14:48
yomyomIs there any advantage to using multiple primary partitions or should I just make them all logical ones?14:54
charlie-tcaI use one primary, the rest are logical. It doesn't really matter to linux if you one primary or 414:54
charlie-tcaI maintain /var/log in a separate partition because I log my firewall hits. If I get an attack on it, it can easily fill the entire hard disk14:56
yomyomI was going to host a server of sorts, so that might be useful. What size /var/log do you recommend?14:59
charlie-tcamine is only 4GB15:00
charlie-tcaIf you manage to fill 4gb with a log, it takes forever to actually read it15:01
* yomyom2 got Xubuntu going, hooray!17:15
charlie-tca:-)17:17

GridCube:D17:47
yomyomhmm now I just need to figure out how to change the refresh rate on my monitor. It only has 50 or 51 hz in the selection box, and changing to 800x600 makes the monitor say it's "out of range".18:01
charlie-tcahave to add the proper driver, normally found in menu -> System -> Additional Drivers18:02
yomyomBug: When I go into settings -> display, then go into Help there, if I click the link to Desktop Manager, firefox gives me a link not found error. Firefox can't find the file at /usr/share/doc/xfdesktop/html/C/index.html.18:03
charlie-tcaCan you file a bug for that?18:04
yomyomI guess I could figure out how :p18:04
charlie-tcaapparently we moved it18:04
charlie-tcaubuntu-bug xubuntu-docs18:04
yomyomuh, so I put that in terminal, and it said to fill out a report in the automatically opened web browser... but no web browser opened yet. Does that happen after I hit "send report" or is it supposed to show up before?18:07
yomyomeeek ok nevermind I didn't read that properly18:10
charlie-tcano, it should open it18:10
charlie-tcaor it will open a tab if the browser is already open18:10
charlie-tcaand that first thing it wants is the title, not the full description18:11
charlie-tcayou will get another box that is for the full description of the problem18:11
yomyomI don't think you'll get many bug reports if you require people to sign up to launchpad in order to do it.18:14
yomyomNot from ordinary users anyway.18:15
charlie-tcaIt's the only way to keep the SPAM down18:16
yomyomhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-docs/+bug/79516418:21
ubottuUbuntu bug 795164 in xubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) "Help Desktop Manager link invalid" [Undecided,New]18:21
charlie-tcayomyom: thank you for filing that bug. Every bug helps us improve Xubuntu.18:22
yomyomno problem18:23
yoma2The only thing to update in Additional Drivers was one for the Nvidia card. After installing that, there's no difference to the monitor situation.18:42
GridCubemmm go to the nvidia configs >System >Nvidia X settings18:43
yoma2Alright, that lets me manually set the refresh, thanks.18:45

DoyleHi, recently when the system updated to 11.4, all other users except the one which performed the update had their desktop environments messed up. The Applications menu went missing, the panel was reset, and since then the system's been freezing after the screensavers been active for about 10 minutes.23:55
DoyleIs there a way to roll back to the previous version?23:55
knomeno, you can't downgrade23:56
DoyleThats what google said. I hoped it was lieing.23:56
DoyleWhy would it mess up the desktops like that?23:56
knomeno idea. when i upgraded, i had none of the problems you listed23:57
DoyleThe launcher at the bottom of the screen was part of it?23:58
charlie-tcadelete the old config files23:58
charlie-tcathe upgrade won't replace the ~/.config and .cache automatically23:59
