[00:03] <raevol> Sysi: lawl
[00:05] <charlie-tca> raevol: there is a bug on file for that. It should get fixed soonly
[00:05] <charlie-tca> oh, soonish
[00:06] <raevol> thanks charlie-tca
[00:09] <charlie-tca> We are modifying the feature, I think, to make it work better. It really is caused by trying to connect to a network.
[00:13] <GridCube> the hp printer installer is telling me broken dependencies one for one XD
[00:18] <charlie-tca> heh, ain't that fun? ;-)
[01:31] <xubuntu769> hey
[01:38] <feyd> i cant delete files into the trash on non-OS drives
[01:38] <feyd> I feel like I used to be able to
[01:38] <feyd> Anyone know why? Or know how to fix it?
[01:49] <charlie-tca> Never were able to, AFAIK
[06:18] <meuslix> anyone here?
[06:19]  * meuslix needs help
[06:21] <meuslix> please?
[06:32] <GridCube> !ask | meuslix
[07:00] <Wizard> hi
[07:01] <Wizard> i 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?
[07:10] <Chainer> I 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/download
[07:10] <Chainer> on step 2.
[07:11] <Unit193> You should have the ISO (IIRC)
[07:20] <Wizard> yeah, seems i need an iso

[09:19] <Wizard> whoa, touchscreen works out of the box :D
[09:20] <Sysi> on what device?
[09:21] <Wizard> asus t101mt
[09:21] <Wizard> i mean, basic clicking works
[14:13]  * yomyom waves
[14:24] <n2diy> Can 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?
[14:41] <yomyom> What partition setup do people find works best for them? I have a 500gb HD and I'm wracked with indecision, heh.
[14:42] <yomyom> Also, is there any reason to have a swap partition if you have 4gb of ram?
[14:42] <bazhang> separate home , / , perhaps /boot
[14:42] <bazhang> why not
[14:42] <yomyom> Does the order of partitions matter?
[14:42] <bazhang> you have ample space so 4gb for swap
[14:48] <charlie-tca> personally, I use separate /, /home, /swap that is 2x ram, separate /var/log
[14:48] <charlie-tca> the /swap so that if I decide to use suspend to disk, the swap is big enough for it
[14:54] <yomyom> Is there any advantage to using multiple primary partitions or should I just make them all logical ones?
[14:54] <charlie-tca> I use one primary, the rest are logical. It doesn't really matter to linux if you one primary or 4
[14:56] <charlie-tca> I 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 disk
[14:59] <yomyom> I was going to host a server of sorts, so that might be useful. What size /var/log do you recommend?
[15:00] <charlie-tca> mine is only 4GB
[15:01] <charlie-tca> If you manage to fill 4gb with a log, it takes forever to actually read it
[17:15]  * yomyom2 got Xubuntu going, hooray!
[17:17] <charlie-tca> :-)
[17:47] <GridCube> :D
[18:01] <yomyom> hmm 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".
[18:02] <charlie-tca> have to add the proper driver, normally found in menu -> System -> Additional Drivers
[18:03] <yomyom> Bug: 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.
[18:04] <charlie-tca> Can you file a bug for that?
[18:04] <yomyom> I guess I could figure out how :p
[18:04] <charlie-tca> apparently we moved it
[18:04] <charlie-tca> ubuntu-bug xubuntu-docs
[18:07] <yomyom> uh, 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?
[18:10] <yomyom> eeek ok nevermind I didn't read that properly
[18:10] <charlie-tca> no, it should open it
[18:10] <charlie-tca> or it will open a tab if the browser is already open
[18:11] <charlie-tca> and that first thing it wants is the title, not the full description
[18:11] <charlie-tca> you will get another box that is for the full description of the problem
[18:14] <yomyom> I don't think you'll get many bug reports if you require people to sign up to launchpad in order to do it.
[18:15] <yomyom> Not from ordinary users anyway.
[18:16] <charlie-tca> It's the only way to keep the SPAM down
[18:21] <yomyom> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-docs/+bug/795164
[18:22] <charlie-tca> yomyom: thank you for filing that bug. Every bug helps us improve Xubuntu.
[18:23] <yomyom> no problem
[18:42] <yoma2> The only thing to update in Additional Drivers was one for the Nvidia card. After installing that, there's no difference to the monitor situation.
[18:43] <GridCube> mmm go to the nvidia configs >System >Nvidia X settings
[18:45] <yoma2> Alright, that lets me manually set the refresh, thanks.
[20:32] <Wizard> good afternoon
[20:38] <go8765432> hello/ can anybody help me with xface4-notyfyd ? how i can do it fixed?
[20:41] <GridCube> !ask go8765432
[20:41] <GridCube> !ask | go8765432
[20:43] <go8765432> GridCube, i ask alreadu my question) how i can do it fixed?
[20:43] <GridCube> what do you mean by "it fixed"?
[20:43] <knome> go8765432, maybe start by telling what is wrong with it?
[20:43] <GridCube> whats doing wrong?
[20:44] <go8765432> when i change with hotkeys my volume - i see a lot of notification - but i need to see only one notification _ such notification-daemoon do///
[20:44] <go8765432> or notify-osd
[20:45] <go8765432> this is i mean when say @fixed@
[20:45] <Sysi> settings -> notifications -> set time to be something short
[20:46] <knome> hey Sysi :)
[20:46] <Sysi> or you can just install notification daemon ig you like it more, it will remove xfce4-notifyd automatically
[20:46] <Sysi> hi knome
[20:46] <GridCube> goodbye :D people
[20:47] <quint> so, i cant hear anything from my laptop but i could last night

[20:47] <quint> also i cant see my usb drive
[20:47] <quint> which i could do just minutes ago
[20:47] <quint> until i rebooted
[20:47] <quint> then it stopped showing up
[20:47] <quint> even under fdisk
[20:48] <quint> as you can imagine im rather upset with xubuntu at this point because i just switched to it and its been nothing but problems
[20:49] <Sysi> reboot again, usb drive disconnected, check your sound mixer and possibly install pavucontrol
[20:49] <Sysi> i wish being upset helped on anything
[20:49] <go8765432> Sysi, when i make notification time=0 i see many notifications still. about notification-daemoon: it didnt support skins...
[20:50] <Sysi> set it to 1
[20:51] <go8765432> i see many notifications when i  set it 1 too...
[20:51] <Sysi> weird, iirc it worked for me, 4secs time
[20:51] <go8765432> i need to meke it fixed...
[21:01] <go8765432> Sysi, i meen this : slot-allocation 'fixed 'dynamic'
[21:02] <go8765432> but it is about notyfy-osd ...
[21:03] <go8765432> sory.. i know english bed.. i try to dyscribe...but it is hurd to me..
[21:05] <go8765432> i need only one notivication that changed, but not many notifications. can i do it with xface4-notifyd ?

[21:10] <knome> !ru
[21:10] <go8765432> i ask yet there
[21:11] <knome> okay... maybe then also ask #xfce, if the solution provided by Sysi didn't help
[21:12] <go8765432> thanks. i try)
[21:13] <go8765432> may be i describe my problem not good?
[21:13] <knome> go8765432, i understand your problem, i just have no idea how to fix it
[21:14] <go8765432> ok. thanks
[23:55] <Doyle> Hi, 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] <Doyle> Is there a way to roll back to the previous version?
[23:56] <knome> no, you can't downgrade
[23:56] <Doyle> Thats what google said. I hoped it was lieing.
[23:56] <Doyle> Why would it mess up the desktops like that?
[23:57] <knome> no idea. when i upgraded, i had none of the problems you listed
[23:58] <Doyle> The launcher at the bottom of the screen was part of it?
[23:58] <charlie-tca> delete the old config files
[23:59] <charlie-tca> the upgrade won't replace the ~/.config and .cache automatically
