| Shinka | New to xfce (love it), I'm just having a small issue. I use a USB logitech headset on my laptop. Unlike Ubuntu/Fedora, Xubuntu seems to see it but I can't get him to actually use it instead of the internal speakers. | 02:27 |
| RexDart | Hello... I'm wondering how I can find out where exactly I've installed the GRUB bootloader | 03:55 |
| RexDart | Or at least I think I do | 03:56 |
| RexDart | I've got Xubuntu installed and now I want to install windows 7 alongside it on the same HDD (already partitioned) | 03:56 |
| GridCube | bad idea | 03:56 |
| RexDart | I know | 03:56 |
| GridCube | you should install 7 first and then xubu | 03:56 |
| RexDart | that's why I need help :( | 03:56 |
| RexDart | well too late | 03:56 |
| GridCube | do you have another hd? | 03:57 |
| RexDart | eh, someplace, why? | 03:57 |
| RexDart | I just want to copy the bootsector or wherever GRUB is, to a file so I can tell the windows bootloader to load that file | 03:57 |
| RexDart | I assume windows 7 can still do that.... | 03:57 |
| GridCube | :D today i avoided that problem installin win into another harddrive, after removing the one that has grub and then repluged the grub drive and run >sudo update-grub and done :D | 03:58 |
| RexDart | hmmm | 03:58 |
| RexDart | could I install win7, then boot a xubuntu cd & run that command? | 03:58 |
| GridCube | thats the fastest problemless way | 03:58 |
| GridCube | mmm | 03:58 |
| GridCube | i don't know if theres update-grub on the live cd | 03:59 |
| GridCube | !grub | 03:59 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 03:59 |
| RexDart | nice | 03:59 |
| GridCube | :) | 04:00 |
| RexDart | Thanks! I'll probably be back once booting from cd :P | 04:06 |
| GridCube | :) | 04:07 |
| zruty | Hello... I have a laptop which loads the drivers for the WLAN card but it is greyed out in the NetworkManager applet | 08:46 |
| zruty | What can I check? | 08:46 |
| TheSheep | !wifi | 08:50 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 08:50 |
| zruty | Thanks sheep, I did not realize the ubuntu docs also pertain to xubuntu.... | 08:52 |
| TheSheep | everything under the hood is the same, just the desktop environment and default apps are different | 08:54 |
| Sysi | every *buntu* is the same OS with same repositories, default configs and installed software just are different | 08:57 |
| zruty | Yes yes but so I kind of figured this network thingy is one of the apps that is on top, not under the hood. But no problem! I will just check the ubuntu docs as you specified | 08:59 |
| zruty | Well I am back where I started | 09:26 |
| zruty | The drivers are loaded but ifup wlan1 returns "Ignoring unknown interface wlan1=wlan1." | 09:27 |
| zruty | I am beginning to suspect a hardware issue even though I exchanged the WLAN card for a while with no change in issue | 09:33 |
| TheSheep | zruty: ifconfig -a shoudl list you all interfaces | 09:34 |
| TheSheep | zruty: sometimes they are called eth1 or somehting | 09:35 |
| zruty | TheSheep: Yes, I did those. I followed one of the manuals on your linked page. ifconfig does nto show the WLAN card, iwconfig does. But then still I get the error mentioned above when I try to ifup it | 09:41 |
| zruty | Perhaps the switch is broken... | 09:41 |
| zruty | That is my suspicion, right now | 09:42 |
| zruty | I will check that - but maybe not until tomorrow | 09:42 |
| zruty | I have to go now, I will be back later (my tomorrow) with update | 09:52 |
| cyrille37 | Hi. (Xfce 4.8): how to create a url link in thunar from Chromium or Firefox drag & drop ? Thx | 10:13 |
| joeythesaint | Has anyone seen something like this? <preface>My system may be a bit mangled since I "upgraded" from Ubu 11.04 to Xub 11.04.</preface> | 13:55 |
| joeythesaint | I'm running awn and when I do anything to the dock appearance or included applets nothing happens until I kill it and restart it. | 13:56 |
| joeythesaint | Example: I open up the preferences window and change the icon size from 48 to 24. Everything stays the same size, but if I kill it and restart it the new size is applied. | 13:57 |
| joeythesaint | I guess awn is expecting some interaction with, presumably, some Gnome components, but since I haven't found anyone else mentioning this on the web I'm wondering if it's just me. | 13:58 |
| draioch | hi i just reinstalled Xubuntu 11.04 from a linux format mag dvd using option to keep current files and folders with no disk refomatt, cause reboot prob (recovery msg came up), but now i cant find me files but think they are hidden anyone any ideas | 15:48 |
| charlie-tca | open a terminal, type ls and hit enter | 15:49 |
| charlie-tca | anything there? | 15:49 |
| draioch | thx charlie-tca trying now | 15:50 |
| charlie-tca | Did you use the same username as it already have? | 15:50 |
| draioch | yea | 15:50 |
| draioch | nothin comes up | 15:51 |
| draioch | ls | 15:51 |
| draioch | :\ | 15:51 |
| charlie-tca | in the same terminal, cd /home | 15:52 |
| charlie-tca | ls | 15:52 |
| charlie-tca | see what is there | 15:52 |
| draioch | thx | 15:53 |
| draioch | just me username rabc comes up | 15:53 |
| charlie-tca | hm, sounds like it is time to get out the backup | 15:54 |
| draioch | shit no backup | 15:54 |
| charlie-tca | you can try ls -lA in terminal, it shows all hidden files | 15:55 |
| draioch | brb thx | 15:55 |
| charlie-tca | try it in both /home and hitting cd ENTER | 15:55 |
| draioch | http://pastebin.com/crLLxsud | 16:05 |
| draioch | were u think charlie-tca went wrong was it using the same username with the reinstall | 16:06 |
| charlie-tca | draioch: type cd and hit enter | 16:09 |
| charlie-tca | that puts you back in your /home/rabc directory | 16:09 |
| draioch | k thx done | 16:10 |
| charlie-tca | I think the dvd did something wrong, sinc the installer is supposed to leave /home alone if you tell it not to format it | 16:10 |
| charlie-tca | Unfortunately, we do not control how they build their dvd. | 16:11 |
| draioch | yea and big thanks for the help anyways might hang around and try learn somethings | 16:11 |
| Liv- | Hello. Anyone uses radiotray? I'm having problems with the tray icon not showing and it's driving me crazy. | 18:29 |
| GridCube | Liv-, never heard of it | 18:36 |
| GridCube | let me find out | 18:36 |
| Liv- | I have tried some things (like editing the config.xml file and deleting both config.xml and bookmarks.xml) but it's still the same | 18:40 |
| Liv- | actually, when I edited the config.xml file, it worked | 18:41 |
| Liv- | the icon loaded as usual and I managed to play at least one radio station | 18:41 |
| GridCube | Liv-, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1708109 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1620059 | 18:41 |
| Liv- | but then it's like it crashed, I don't know | 18:41 |
| Liv- | and I can't edit the bookmarks either while in that "mode" | 18:42 |
| Liv- | so I turned it back to its original state (the config file) | 18:42 |
| Liv- | the bookmark thing does not seem to be the problem either | 18:45 |
| Liv- | it is strange because it worked fine until yesterday :/ | 18:46 |

| lrussell | I know you can access windows file sharing via linux. But can you share a folder on linux and access it on windows? | 19:02 |
| knome | lrussell, yes, by sharing the linux folder in a samba network | 19:04 |
| knome | dinner -> | 19:04 |
| lrussell | sorry, i missed the answer to my question if anyone answered | 19:04 |
| lrussell | oh, ok knome | 19:04 |
| Liv- | I did but I'm having issues with that too, lol | 19:04 |
| lrussell | how do i set it up? | 19:05 |
| lrussell | I need it to work flawless... | 19:05 |
| lrussell | I'm relying on what ever system is put in place | 19:06 |
| lrussell | it is windows xp vs. xubuntu | 19:06 |
| lrussell | is a computer with 512 mb of ram, a 40 gb hd with 20 gb extra and a 1.8 ghz processor good for free? | 19:07 |
| lrussell | i think so... lol | 19:07 |
| charlie-tca | yes, it sounds good to me | 19:08 |
| charlie-tca | I accept any free systems | 19:08 |
| lrussell | lol, that is really my only good pc... the free one, lol | 19:12 |
| xubuntu583 | Hello world! | 19:18 |
| knome | hello | 19:19 |
| GridCube | hello | 19:19 |
| GridCube | :D | 19:19 |
| knome | lrussell, sounds like something i'd dump in the garbage ;) | 19:19 |
| xubuntu583 | Installing Xubuntu. I'm very impressed, is the first time I see a linux installer with the "browse internet while you install the system" feature :-O | 19:19 |
| knome | xubuntu583, that's actually available in most installers, but we wanted to make it more visible | 19:20 |
| xubuntu583 | It's cool :-D | 19:21 |
| lrussell | lol | 19:21 |
| GridCube | :D | 19:21 |
| Liv- | how come I've never noticed that? | 19:21 |
| lrussell | actually knome, I'm using it right now. the computer is pretty fast | 19:22 |
| charlie-tca | Liv-: you have to watch the slideshow during the install, it tells you about it. | 19:22 |
| knome | lrussell, well congrats :) if you are coming to helsinki, i can give you a better pc on pickup ;) | 19:22 |
| lrussell | lol | 19:23 |
| xubuntu583 | Last time I installed some linux was about 3 years ago. Is easy to get me impressed :-P I love the "download updates while install proccess is running" too. The entire installer is pretty cool | 19:23 |
| GridCube | :D | 19:23 |
| GridCube | awesome | 19:23 |
| dudicus | how can I map alt + left mouse to be alt+middle mouse instead? | 19:23 |
| GridCube | if you have any question or problem do no hessitate on asking here | 19:23 |
| dudicus | :) | 19:23 |
| dudicus | ill try everywhere :) | 19:24 |
| GridCube | mmm | 19:24 |
| GridCube | let me see | 19:24 |
| knome | dudicus, is that a global shortcut, or a shortcut in an application (eg. firefox?) | 19:24 |
| dudicus | global | 19:25 |
| GridCube | dudicus, run >alt-f2 >xfce4-mouse-settings >run and edit there | 19:25 |
| charlie-tca | dudicus: tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto#Remapping%20buttons ? | 19:25 |
| xubuntu583 | dudicus, do you mean the alt+left (drag&drop a window)? | 19:25 |
| dudicus | GridCube: that doesn't have anything for me to set those modifiers | 19:25 |
| dudicus | xubuntu583: no I mean alt-right mouse for resizing windows | 19:26 |
| dudicus | charlie-tca: looking.. | 19:26 |
| dudicus | charlie-tca: nah that is for remapping the actual mouse buttons I just want to modify the "activator" keys to resize windows frmo anywhere | 19:26 |
| knome | bbl | 19:26 |
| dudicus | in gnome it is alt + middle mouse and I am too used to that | 19:26 |
| dudicus | so I want it in xfce | 19:27 |
| charlie-tca | I would read the whole page then | 19:27 |
| xubuntu583 | reboot after installation time, cya people!! Have fun :P | 19:27 |
| Sysi | dudicus: alt + right click is too different? | 19:28 |
| charlie-tca | I have you asking this several times, I would think it worth your time to read a little bit | 19:28 |
| dudicus | Sysi: that's right I want alt + middle click | 19:30 |
| dudicus | charlie-tca: I did, what you are missing is that it is referring to remapping the actual buttons on the mouse not the modifier that enables resize from anywhere in the window manager | 19:31 |
| charlie-tca | did any of the links at the bottom of the page help? | 19:31 |
| dudicus | no they are all referring to the same initial idea of remapping + adding more mappings for button on the mouse | 19:31 |
| Sysi | i'm not sure if xfwm offers that possibility, it might be hardcoded | 19:32 |
| dudicus | this is a window manager specific configuration | 19:32 |
| dudicus | if I launch gnome right now it will work fine | 19:32 |
| dudicus | well metacity/compiz/whatever | 19:32 |
| Sysi | you can use metacity/compiz on xfce too | 19:32 |
| Sysi | alt+F2 NEWWM --replace | 19:32 |
| dudicus | yeah ill just do that then :) | 19:32 |
| dudicus | and here we go I hav emy mapping back | 19:33 |
| dudicus | hurray | 19:33 |
| dudicus | I assume I can set that in the session for good? | 19:33 |
| Wizard | hi! | 19:44 |
| Wizard | keycode 248 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol) | 19:49 |
| Wizard | that's what my monitor rotate key sends, i cannot assign it to keyboard shortcut in xfce | 19:49 |
| Wizard | any possible solutions? | 19:49 |
| Wizard | .Xmodmap | 19:52 |
| Wizard | thanks, Wizard | 19:52 |
| Jaded | Hi | 22:18 |
| Jaded | Just installed xubuntu, what are some ways I can free up resources? | 22:18 |
| Wizard | hi | 22:31 |
| Wizard | where can i send suggestions? | 22:31 |
| Sysi | xfce or xubuntu bugsilla should take feature requests too | 22:31 |
| Sysi | what you'd like to change/add? | 22:31 |
| Wizard | hmm, i think gnome-screensaver would be better for xubuntu than xscreensaver | 22:32 |
| charlie-tca | Actually, it won't happen | 22:32 |
| Wizard | it does not introduce many (if any) new dependencies | 22:32 |
| Wizard | why? | 22:32 |
| Jaded | holy smokes | 22:33 |
| Sysi | gnome-screensaver is somewhat broken on gnome3 | 22:33 |
| charlie-tca | gnome-screensaver has been replaced in Xubuntu by xscreensaver because of the issues caused by it | 22:33 |
| Wizard | :S | 22:33 |
| Jaded | xubuntu is hammering my 1ghz duron and 768MB ram | 22:33 |
| charlie-tca | Wizard: as a user, you are free to replace xscreensaver on your own computer. | 22:34 |
| charlie-tca | It is easy to do, just install gnome-screensaver and remove xscreensaver | 22:34 |
| Wizard | of course i do this everywhere | 22:34 |
| Wizard | gnome-screensaver integrates nicely with gdm | 22:34 |
| Wizard | so for example my wife comes, clicks login as new user when i'm away, she does what she wants, then i switch user and so on | 22:35 |
| charlie-tca | choice is always nice | 22:36 |
| Wizard | :) | 22:36 |

| Wizard | k, never mind, i've just ran on new issue ;P | 22:36 |

| Wizard | while battery metter says 22%, 1h more | 22:37 |
| Jaded | is it possible to enable acceleration on xubuntu? | 23:12 |
| rotura | Hi all! Can anybody help me,please? How can I change desktop icons so partitions use DIFFERENT icon when they are mounted or dissmounted (one icon for mounted and a different one for unmounted state) | 23:14 |
| rotura | hello? | 23:17 |
| charlie-tca | If you right-click the icon, is properties clickable? | 23:20 |
| charlie-tca | well, since you cross-posted, I guess the other channel is helping you. | 23:21 |
| rotura | I asked on the xfce chan because nobody answered here.. even my "hello?"... | 23:22 |
| rotura | thanks :-/ | 23:22 |
| charlie-tca | Jaded: Is that video acceleration? | 23:22 |
| charlie-tca | check in menu -> System -> Additional Drivers for a propietary video driver | 23:22 |
| charlie-tca | too bad my fingers are slow, huh? | 23:23 |
| Jaded | I just want me desktop as snappy as possible | 23:27 |
| Jaded | and yes I've installed drivers for my nvidia geforce 5200 FX | 23:28 |
| Jaded | using a propietary driver | 23:28 |
| rotura | Can anybody help me,please? How can I change desktop icons so partitions use DIFFERENT icon when they are mounted or dissmounted (one icon for mounted and a different one for unmounted state) | 23:32 |
| Jaded | charlie-tca, does it make sense that windows XP feels snappier than Xubuntu? | 23:50 |
| Sysi | how much RAM? | 23:51 |
| Sysi | xubuntu is way more modern than XP | 23:51 |
| Sysi | if you want something really light, try lubuntu-desktop | 23:52 |
| Jaded | 768 | 23:56 |
| Jaded | actually 512, i'm just about to put the 128MB chip in | 23:57 |
| rotura | Can anybody help me,please? How can I change desktop icons so partitions use DIFFERENT icon when they are mounted or dissmounted (one icon for mounted and a different one for unmounted state) | 23:58 |
