| rana_ | hi | 03:20 |
| rana_ | i'm having some problem installing wine from the software center | 03:21 |
| rhin0 | installed xubuntu 10.04 -- can't get dual screens to work card -- nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310] (rev a1) have downloaded proprietary drive -- anyone? previously I have had no problems with dual screen. in settings/display it only shows one screen :( | 05:04 |
| rhin0 | "twinview"? | 05:05 |
| metap0d | Hi everyone, I want to try Xubuntu and was wondering what the difference between the alternate install cd and normal install cd is? I only have 650mb blank CD-R's and noticed the alternate install is the only one that would fit | 05:12 |
| charlie-tca | The normal cd is a GUI installer, the alternate install cd is a text based installer. Both result in the same installation | 05:13 |
| rhin0 | any way I get the old type menus of xfce circa xubuntu 10.04 working with the xfce of ubuntu 11.04? -- I don;'t like them | 05:36 |
| Rodensky | Using Xubuntu 10.04, suddenly I got a dialog window with the following text: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632198/ | 07:08 |
| gr8m8 | Rodensky: do you have kubuntu-desktop installed? | 08:03 |
| Rodensky | no | 08:03 |
| Rodensky | not that i know of anyways | 08:03 |
| Rodensky | i never installed it | 08:03 |
| gr8m8 | you probably don't then - did anything happen after the popup? | 08:04 |
| jarnos | I consider installing mythbuntu on xubuntu. If I install mythbuntu-desktop, xfce4-notifyd and thus xubuntu-desktop will be removed. I suppose upgrading is not as easy, if I remove xubuntu-desktop. | 08:16 |
| Rodensky | i never installed it | 09:24 |
| Rodensky | o sorry | 09:24 |
| Rodensky | wron button | 09:25 |
| Sysi | jarnos: easier than when you have two metapackages.. it will upgrade every single package and doesn't care about desktop-metapackages | 09:25 |
| Rodensky | I lost sound again | 09:25 |
| poptisse | Can anyone explain the following - | 09:41 |
| poptisse | Open CompizConfig-settings manager (if you don't find it, just install it from Ubuntu Software Center). Enable Workarounds -> Force full screen redrews (buffer swap) on repaint Disable Workarounds -> Don't wait for video sync | 09:41 |
| poptisse | The specific part being disable workarounds -> Don't wait for video sync and Enable Workarounds -> Force full screen redrews (buffer swap) on repaint | 09:42 |
| Rodensky | please help me with this problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632266/ | 09:51 |
| poptisse | I have an issue with compizconfig settings I am not too sure how to apply some settings for a fix i am rather confused about it. | 09:55 |
| gr8m8 | Rodensky: you need to find what you installed that has kde controlling the sound and remove it/configure it it seems | 10:05 |
| Rodensky | gr8m8, how do I do that? | 10:05 |
| gr8m8 | Rodensky: in the package manager I would search the installed packages for kde | 10:06 |
| gr8m8 | phonon is kde's sound server | 10:06 |
| Rodensky | gr8m8, I need the KDE packages for several softwares I'm using, is there no way to fix the problem without removing the packages? | 10:07 |
| gr8m8 | Rodensky: I don't know what or where starts kde's phonon sound server or what to do about it - maybe someone in #kde might know | 10:08 |
| Rodensky | ok thanks! | 10:08 |
| gr8m8 | luck | 10:08 |

| urnenfeld | Hello, I have installed xubuntu in a desktop where I had previously kubuntu. First one is not getting properly the screen resolutions as the second. Is it somewhat known or an easy fix? | 11:22 |
| jarnos | Have anyone else experienced that resuming from suspend to RAM is occasionally very slow in 11.04? | 13:28 |
| BlackBerries | I have just done a fresh install of 10.10 and installed openvpn via the terminal. I import the config file - and the apply button is grayed out so I can't save the vpn and connect. | 14:13 |
| Mandrew | hello | 14:23 |
| Mandrew | is there a plug in for thunar that displays the amount of files under the folder so i dont need to enter it to find out? | 14:24 |
| charlie-tca | Mandrew: you agreed to folow the guidelines when you enter the channel. Please do so. | 14:39 |
| charlie-tca | !guidelines | 14:39 |
| ubottu | The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 14:39 |
| BlackBerries | openvpn wont work in xubuntu | 14:40 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know how to make vpn work | 14:41 |
| Mandrew | BlackBerries, you already have a vpn settings panel in xubuntu that you can use, its just to add the vpn server settings into that | 14:42 |
| BlackBerries | It wont work | 14:42 |
| BlackBerries | It just constantly says | 14:43 |
| BlackBerries | connection failed | 14:43 |
| BlackBerries | Though the details are correct | 14:43 |
| Mandrew | ok | 14:43 |
| BlackBerries | It's not VPN side its something wrong with xubuntu | 14:43 |
| BlackBerries | I have got it working in ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop with openvpn | 14:43 |
| BlackBerries | but for some reason | 14:44 |
| BlackBerries | it does not want to work on xubuntu on my desktop | 14:44 |
| Mandrew | ok | 14:45 |
| Mandrew | well i have no idea right now how to fix the vpn problem you have just changed to xubuntu myself | 14:46 |
| Cenbe | Have you tried vpnc? Works well here. | 14:46 |
| BlackBerries | I don't have a cisco vpn | 14:47 |
| BlackBerries | it says | 14:51 |
| BlackBerries | connection refused :l | 14:51 |
| BlackBerries | ffs | 14:51 |
| BlackBerries_ | Mandrew: hey | 15:03 |
| BlackBerries_ | sorry i d/c | 15:03 |
| Cenbe | Is there a way to disable autocomplete in Thunar's location dialog (ctrl-L)? | 15:03 |
| Mandrew | np BlackBerries_ | 15:05 |
| Mandrew | did you get the askubuntu.com post? | 15:06 |
| xubuntu545 | ciao a tutti | 16:03 |
| xubuntu545 | sono nuovo e vorrei far si che le estensioni si vedano sempre | 16:04 |
| xubuntu545 | come fare?? | 16:04 |
| madnick | Hello, I'm getting: "reboot not tainted", and my computer refuses to reboot/shutoff | 17:59 |
| madnick | I have tried some grub settings, like acpi=force, pci=reboot | 17:59 |
| madnick | but no luck | 17:59 |
| mayko | so I just reinstalled Xubuntu11.04 and my home folder is on another partition | 18:32 |
| mayko | but try as I might I can't seem to get my fstab settings right | 18:32 |
| nady | למי היגעתי | 18:32 |
| mayko | UUID=f6fb50fc-6709-47be-beeb-f1448e8a42ff /home reiserfs defaults 0 2 | 18:33 |
| nady | ? | 18:34 |
| mayko | when I get to the username/pswd screen and log in, it blanks, displays text too fast to read, and then returns me to the nsr/pswd screen | 18:35 |
| mayko | works fine if i comment out that line | 18:35 |
| mayko | halp! <3 | 18:35 |
| GridCube | i don't know why but my installer started a "complete upgrade of the system" | 18:41 |
| GridCube | D: | 18:41 |
| GridCube | i dont want that | 18:41 |
| mayko | aaaaaaand fixed. had to update the crypttab file so that the encrypted partition could be mounted on login :D | 19:46 |

| Mandrew | is there a Déjà Dup back up tool like software for xfce/ xubuntu? | 21:00 |
| stoerenungeheuer | hello there, does anybody know, how to tell xfce4 to rotate *all* displayed in the panel by 90 degrees? | 21:12 |
| GridCube | mmm | 21:14 |
| GridCube | you can rotate the text? | 21:14 |
| stoerenungeheuer | thats what im asking | 21:14 |
| GridCube | mmm i see | 21:14 |
| GridCube | no idea soryy | 21:14 |
| GridCube | r^ | 21:14 |
| Poptisse | "First, copy the easy-rsa directory to /etc/openvpn." - Where can I locate easy-rsa? | 21:39 |
| Wizard | good evening | 21:39 |
| Poptisse | Hey wizard | 21:40 |
| Poptisse | Fixed the screen tearing, but now stuck with openvpn ha ha | 21:40 |
| Poptisse | I like how an official ubuntu tutorial does not even tell ya where easy-rsa is lol | 21:40 |
| Wizard | both locate and apt-cache gave no results | 21:41 |
| Wizard | neither my wisdom ;P | 21:41 |
| Poptisse | whats the command? I'll do it myself if not i will have to create it i guess | 21:42 |
| Poptisse | though it makes out it alreayd exists | 21:42 |
| stoerenungeheuer | so the content of the xfce4 panel cannot be rotated by 90 degrees? (everything, incl. text)? | 22:17 |
| Mandrew | i want my xubuntu to be in pirate | 22:20 |
| stoerenungeheuer | oh, nevermind i found the xfce channel :) | 22:21 |
| Mandrew | hehe | 22:21 |
| Wizard | in pirate? | 22:42 |
| charlie-tca | Mandrew: use deja-vue ? It will work the same as in Ubuntu | 22:43 |
| charlie-tca | well, no | 22:43 |
| charlie-tca | deja-dup is the right one for backup | 22:43 |
| Mandrew | charlie-tca, so there is no "native" back up tool then for xfce? | 22:45 |
| charlie-tca | Not one written by the Xfce developers, no | 22:45 |
| charlie-tca | anything that works in GTK would be a good choice, though, since that is what Xfce is based on | 22:46 |
| Mandrew | ok | 22:46 |
| Mandrew | aah well ill give it a go then, just wanted to stick with everything in xfce ;) im a new user of xfce and xubuntu | 22:46 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu is based on Ubuntu, so that whatever is in the Ubuntu Repositories should work with it | 22:47 |
| charlie-tca | It saves a lot of work if you don't have to re-write everything | 22:47 |
| Mandrew | that is true | 22:48 |
| Mandrew | lol software center just gave up on me :) | 22:49 |
| Mandrew | oooh no not that tosser again ;) | 22:50 |
| charlie-tca | I just use Synaptic Package Manager | 22:52 |
| Mandrew | i started up task manager and killed the process, that made it a bit happier | 22:55 |
| Mandrew | actually im wondering is there a security software that one can install in *buntu that works like you have usb-stick/ memory card as a "verification key" with out it you cant login on the computer | 22:59 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know. You could store the entire /home directory on USB and remove it when you are not at the computer. Then all your data would be safe | 23:00 |
| charlie-tca | You can Encrypt the /home, and carry the stick with you at all times. | 23:01 |
| Mandrew | that is a bloody smart thing | 23:01 |
| Mandrew | but then again a usb-stick cant store that much info, so it kind off falls on that | 23:03 |
| charlie-tca | How much? 128gb, 256gb? | 23:04 |
| Mandrew | well not that much though | 23:05 |
| charlie-tca | Then a 256GB thumb drive would be big enough | 23:06 |
| charlie-tca | You could keep the entire operating system on it, even, if the system will boot from usb | 23:06 |
| Mandrew | but i dont know if one can make mot than one /home but that would in its self kill the purpose with it, if one have a usb-stick on lets say 16 gb, its just to store the info one wants on it | 23:07 |
| Mandrew | the carry the sensitive info on that | 23:07 |
| charlie-tca | You only need one home, you divide it into partitions to use both the hard drive and usb stick, like | 23:08 |
| charlie-tca | making /home/mandrew/most_of_my_music and /home/mandrew/encrypted_data_on_usb | 23:09 |
| charlie-tca | The OS doesn't care how many partitions /home/mandrew is split into, as long as they are valid partitions | 23:10 |
| Mandrew | so i can pin a /home on two different partitions? | 23:10 |
| charlie-tca | sure | 23:10 |
| charlie-tca | I do it on some of my systems | 23:10 |
| charlie-tca | I have /home/charlie/ | 23:10 |
| Mandrew | that is some deep stuff | 23:11 |
| charlie-tca | and /home/charlie/VirtualBox and /home/charlie/Music and /home/charlie/Downloads | 23:11 |
| charlie-tca | all on three hard drives | 23:11 |
| charlie-tca | Nothing says they must all be in one drive, but it does cause problems if they are not all there at boot | 23:12 |
| Mandrew | how do i wright that into the installer? i have made a swap, /, and a /home on my OS | 23:12 |
| charlie-tca | You use manual/other partitioning, and create what you want | 23:12 |
| charlie-tca | Where that little box is to choose the mount point, type it in instead of picking one | 23:13 |
| Mandrew | ok | 23:13 |
| charlie-tca | It took me a few times to get the partitions I wanted. It was not a one time shot for me | 23:14 |
| * charlie-tca might be a little slow sometimes, too | 23:14 | |
| Mandrew | that is wicked stuff though | 23:15 |
| charlie-tca | Some of the power of linux | 23:15 |
| charlie-tca | !partitions | 23:15 |
| ubottu | For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 23:15 |
| charlie-tca | There' s some more information on it, but I haven't read all that. | 23:16 |
| Mandrew | ok cool ill add that to my wicked list | 23:17 |
| Mandrew | QtParted is that for gnome or kde? | 23:17 |
| Mandrew | !PartitionManager | 23:18 |
| ubottu | PartitionManager is a !KDE !GUI partitioning program. Use !KPackageKit, !Adept or !Synaptic to install or type « sudo apt-get install partitionmanager » in a !terminal | 23:18 |
| Mandrew | !QtParted | 23:18 |
| charlie-tca | q apps are usually kde, g apps are gnome/gtk | 23:18 |
| Mandrew | aah ok | 23:18 |
| charlie-tca | gparted is the one you want | 23:19 |
| Mandrew | yea that is the one im used to | 23:19 |
| Mandrew | i havent used kubuntu that much, its not really my flavor, looks like broken x-mas tree decoration to me :S to much stuff going on there | 23:21 |
| Mandrew | aah well charlie-tca thanks for the tip with the partitions | 23:26 |
| charlie-tca | yw | 23:30 |
| charlie-tca | I am the same way with Kubuntu, I do test it, but it is very hard for me to use it. | 23:31 |
| Mandrew | yes the same with gnome 3 and unity | 23:31 |
| Mandrew | to much things going on there | 23:32 |
| charlie-tca | Unity is great for the beginning linux from windows user. | 23:35 |
| charlie-tca | They expect it to be differenct, and it is. But it is quite easy for them to learn. | 23:35 |
| Mandrew | i think that xubuntu is a great newbie distro | 23:36 |
| charlie-tca | It is more aimed at intermediate users with some experience. Ubuntu installs almost everything the new user needs. Xubuntu doesn't do that. | 23:37 |
| Mandrew | the one who thought of making it possible to open folders in the terminal is a genius | 23:37 |
| charlie-tca | It is harder to get some stuff working in Xubuntu that "just works" in Ubuntu | 23:37 |
| Mandrew | you think? i havent had any trouble so far | 23:38 |
| Mandrew | so long one stick with the stuff in software center you be ok i reckon | 23:39 |
| Mandrew | but i dont know what newbies normally try to do or where they mess up | 23:40 |
| charlie-tca | Well, like the issues with vpn, which normally works in Ubuntu. Some of the video issues, are not in Ubuntu | 23:42 |
| charlie-tca | also, Ubuntu-One fails badly for us | 23:42 |
| Mandrew | like play back of videos? | 23:44 |
| Mandrew | yea i saw that a user had some trouble to install openvpn earlier today | 23:47 |
| Mandrew | ubuntu-one doesnt have support for anything els than ubuntu yet or have i got that all wrong? | 23:48 |
| charlie-tca | I think kubuntu has ubuntuone, and windows might too, now | 23:55 |
