[00:07] hello everybody, how to stop x server? === xrdodrx` is now known as 18WAAILYF === xrdodrx` is now known as xrdodrx === ubott2 is now known as ubottu [02:27] 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. [03:55] Hello... I'm wondering how I can find out where exactly I've installed the GRUB bootloader [03:56] Or at least I think I do [03:56] I've got Xubuntu installed and now I want to install windows 7 alongside it on the same HDD (already partitioned) [03:56] bad idea [03:56] I know [03:56] you should install 7 first and then xubu [03:56] that's why I need help :( [03:56] well too late [03:57] do you have another hd? [03:57] eh, someplace, why? [03:57] 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] I assume windows 7 can still do that.... [03:58] :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] hmmm [03:58] could I install win7, then boot a xubuntu cd & run that command? [03:58] thats the fastest problemless way [03:58] mmm [03:59] i don't know if theres update-grub on the live cd [03:59] !grub [03:59] 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] nice [04:00] :) [04:06] Thanks! I'll probably be back once booting from cd :P [04:07] :) [08:46] Hello... I have a laptop which loads the drivers for the WLAN card but it is greyed out in the NetworkManager applet [08:46] What can I check? [08:50] !wifi [08:50] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [08:52] Thanks sheep, I did not realize the ubuntu docs also pertain to xubuntu.... [08:54] everything under the hood is the same, just the desktop environment and default apps are different [08:57] every *buntu* is the same OS with same repositories, default configs and installed software just are different [08:59] 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 [09:26] Well I am back where I started [09:27] The drivers are loaded but ifup wlan1 returns "Ignoring unknown interface wlan1=wlan1." [09:33] I am beginning to suspect a hardware issue even though I exchanged the WLAN card for a while with no change in issue [09:34] zruty: ifconfig -a shoudl list you all interfaces [09:35] zruty: sometimes they are called eth1 or somehting [09:41] 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] Perhaps the switch is broken... [09:42] That is my suspicion, right now [09:42] I will check that - but maybe not until tomorrow [09:52] I have to go now, I will be back later (my tomorrow) with update [10:13] Hi. (Xfce 4.8): how to create a url link in thunar from Chromium or Firefox drag & drop ? Thx [13:55] Has anyone seen something like this? My system may be a bit mangled since I "upgraded" from Ubu 11.04 to Xub 11.04. [13:56] 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. [13:57] 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. [13:58] 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. [15:48] 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 [15:49] open a terminal, type ls and hit enter [15:49] anything there? [15:50] thx charlie-tca trying now [15:50] Did you use the same username as it already have? [15:50] yea [15:51] nothin comes up [15:51] ls [15:51] :\ [15:52] in the same terminal, cd /home [15:52] ls [15:52] see what is there [15:53] thx [15:53] just me username rabc comes up [15:54] hm, sounds like it is time to get out the backup [15:54] shit no backup [15:55] you can try ls -lA in terminal, it shows all hidden files [15:55] brb thx [15:55] try it in both /home and hitting cd ENTER [16:05] http://pastebin.com/crLLxsud [16:06] were u think charlie-tca went wrong was it using the same username with the reinstall [16:09] draioch: type cd and hit enter [16:09] that puts you back in your /home/rabc directory [16:10] k thx done [16:10] I think the dvd did something wrong, sinc the installer is supposed to leave /home alone if you tell it not to format it [16:11] Unfortunately, we do not control how they build their dvd. [16:11] yea and big thanks for the help anyways might hang around and try learn somethings [18:29] Hello. Anyone uses radiotray? I'm having problems with the tray icon not showing and it's driving me crazy. [18:36] Liv-, never heard of it [18:36] let me find out [18:40] 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 [18:41] actually, when I edited the config.xml file, it worked [18:41] the icon loaded as usual and I managed to play at least one radio station [18:41] Liv-, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1708109 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1620059 [18:41] but then it's like it crashed, I don't know [18:42] and I can't edit the bookmarks either while in that "mode" [18:42] so I turned it back to its original state (the config file) [18:45] the bookmark thing does not seem to be the problem either [18:46] it is strange because it worked fine until yesterday :/ [18:47] !info radiotray [18:47] radiotray (source: radiotray): online radio streaming player. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.1-1 (natty), package size 72 kB, installed size 616 kB [19:02] I know you can access windows file sharing via linux. But can you share a folder on linux and access it on windows? [19:04] lrussell, yes, by sharing the linux folder in a samba network [19:04] dinner -> [19:04] sorry, i missed the answer to my question if anyone answered [19:04] oh, ok knome [19:04] I did but I'm having issues with that too, lol [19:05] how do i set it up? [19:05] I need it to work flawless... [19:06] I'm relying on what ever system is put in place [19:06] it is windows xp vs. xubuntu [19:07] 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] i think so... lol [19:08] yes, it sounds good to me [19:08] I accept any free systems [19:12] lol, that is really my only good pc... the free one, lol [19:18] Hello world! [19:19] hello [19:19] hello [19:19] :D [19:19] lrussell, sounds like something i'd dump in the garbage ;) [19:19] 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 [19:20] xubuntu583, that's actually available in most installers, but we wanted to make it more visible [19:21] It's cool :-D [19:21] lol [19:21] :D [19:21] how come I've never noticed that? [19:22] actually knome, I'm using it right now. the computer is pretty fast [19:22] Liv-: you have to watch the slideshow during the install, it tells you about it. [19:22] lrussell, well congrats :) if you are coming to helsinki, i can give you a better pc on pickup ;) [19:23] lol [19:23] 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] :D [19:23] awesome [19:23] how can I map alt + left mouse to be alt+middle mouse instead? [19:23] if you have any question or problem do no hessitate on asking here [19:23] :) [19:24] ill try everywhere :) [19:24] mmm [19:24] let me see [19:24] dudicus, is that a global shortcut, or a shortcut in an application (eg. firefox?) [19:25] global [19:25] dudicus, run >alt-f2 >xfce4-mouse-settings >run and edit there [19:25] dudicus: tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto#Remapping%20buttons ? [19:25] dudicus, do you mean the alt+left (drag&drop a window)? [19:25] GridCube: that doesn't have anything for me to set those modifiers [19:26] xubuntu583: no I mean alt-right mouse for resizing windows [19:26] charlie-tca: looking.. [19:26] 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] bbl [19:26] in gnome it is alt + middle mouse and I am too used to that [19:27] so I want it in xfce [19:27] I would read the whole page then [19:27] reboot after installation time, cya people!! Have fun :P [19:28] dudicus: alt + right click is too different? [19:28] I have you asking this several times, I would think it worth your time to read a little bit [19:30] Sysi: that's right I want alt + middle click [19:31] 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] did any of the links at the bottom of the page help? [19:31] no they are all referring to the same initial idea of remapping + adding more mappings for button on the mouse [19:32] i'm not sure if xfwm offers that possibility, it might be hardcoded [19:32] this is a window manager specific configuration [19:32] if I launch gnome right now it will work fine [19:32] well metacity/compiz/whatever [19:32] you can use metacity/compiz on xfce too [19:32] alt+F2 NEWWM --replace [19:32] yeah ill just do that then :) [19:33] and here we go I hav emy mapping back [19:33] hurray [19:33] I assume I can set that in the session for good? [19:44] hi! [19:49] keycode 248 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol) [19:49] that's what my monitor rotate key sends, i cannot assign it to keyboard shortcut in xfce [19:49] any possible solutions? [19:52] .Xmodmap [19:52] thanks, Wizard [22:18] Hi [22:18] Just installed xubuntu, what are some ways I can free up resources? [22:31] hi [22:31] where can i send suggestions? [22:31] xfce or xubuntu bugsilla should take feature requests too [22:31] what you'd like to change/add? [22:32] hmm, i think gnome-screensaver would be better for xubuntu than xscreensaver [22:32] Actually, it won't happen [22:32] it does not introduce many (if any) new dependencies [22:32] why? [22:33] holy smokes [22:33] gnome-screensaver is somewhat broken on gnome3 [22:33] gnome-screensaver has been replaced in Xubuntu by xscreensaver because of the issues caused by it [22:33] :S [22:33] xubuntu is hammering my 1ghz duron and 768MB ram [22:34] Wizard: as a user, you are free to replace xscreensaver on your own computer. [22:34] It is easy to do, just install gnome-screensaver and remove xscreensaver [22:34] of course i do this everywhere [22:34] gnome-screensaver integrates nicely with gdm [22:35] 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 [22:36] choice is always nice [22:36] :) === xGrind is now known as megaman [22:36] k, never mind, i've just ran on new issue ;P === megaman is now known as xGrind [22:37] my screen get deem [22:37] while battery metter says 22%, 1h more [23:12] is it possible to enable acceleration on xubuntu? [23:14] 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) [23:17] hello? [23:20] If you right-click the icon, is properties clickable? [23:21] well, since you cross-posted, I guess the other channel is helping you. [23:22] I asked on the xfce chan because nobody answered here.. even my "hello?"... [23:22] thanks :-/ [23:22] Jaded: Is that video acceleration? [23:22] check in menu -> System -> Additional Drivers for a propietary video driver [23:23] too bad my fingers are slow, huh? [23:27] I just want me desktop as snappy as possible [23:28] and yes I've installed drivers for my nvidia geforce 5200 FX [23:28] using a propietary driver [23:32] 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) [23:50] charlie-tca, does it make sense that windows XP feels snappier than Xubuntu? [23:51] how much RAM? [23:51] xubuntu is way more modern than XP [23:52] if you want something really light, try lubuntu-desktop [23:56] 768 [23:57] actually 512, i'm just about to put the 128MB chip in [23:58] 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)
