=== xGrind-OFF is now known as xGrind [03:13] what do I do when the package manager fails with an update? [03:20] hi [03:21] i'm having some problem installing wine from the software center [05:04] 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 :( [05:05] "twinview"? [05:12] 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 [05:13] The normal cd is a GUI installer, the alternate install cd is a text based installer. Both result in the same installation [05:36] 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 [07:08] Using Xubuntu 10.04, suddenly I got a dialog window with the following text: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632198/ [08:03] Rodensky: do you have kubuntu-desktop installed? [08:03] no [08:03] not that i know of anyways [08:03] i never installed it [08:04] you probably don't then - did anything happen after the popup? [08:16] 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. [09:24] i never installed it [09:24] o sorry [09:25] wron button [09:25] jarnos: easier than when you have two metapackages.. it will upgrade every single package and doesn't care about desktop-metapackages [09:25] I lost sound again [09:41] Can anyone explain the following - [09:41] 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 [09:42] The specific part being disable workarounds -> Don't wait for video sync and Enable Workarounds -> Force full screen redrews (buffer swap) on repaint [09:51] please help me with this problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632266/ [09:55] 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. [10:05] Rodensky: you need to find what you installed that has kde controlling the sound and remove it/configure it it seems [10:05] gr8m8, how do I do that? [10:06] Rodensky: in the package manager I would search the installed packages for kde [10:06] phonon is kde's sound server [10:07] gr8m8, I need the KDE packages for several softwares I'm using, is there no way to fix the problem without removing the packages? [10:08] 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] ok thanks! [10:08] luck === markus_ is now known as elros [11:22] 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? [13:28] Have anyone else experienced that resuming from suspend to RAM is occasionally very slow in 11.04? [14:13] 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. [14:23] hello [14:24] 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? [14:39] Mandrew: you agreed to folow the guidelines when you enter the channel. Please do so. [14:39] !guidelines [14:39] The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [14:40] openvpn wont work in xubuntu [14:41] I don't know how to make vpn work [14:42] 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] It wont work [14:43] It just constantly says [14:43] connection failed [14:43] Though the details are correct [14:43] ok [14:43] It's not VPN side its something wrong with xubuntu [14:43] I have got it working in ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop with openvpn [14:44] but for some reason [14:44] it does not want to work on xubuntu on my desktop [14:45] ok [14:46] well i have no idea right now how to fix the vpn problem you have just changed to xubuntu myself [14:46] Have you tried vpnc? Works well here. [14:47] I don't have a cisco vpn [14:51] it says [14:51] connection refused :l [14:51] ffs [15:03] Mandrew: hey [15:03] sorry i d/c [15:03] Is there a way to disable autocomplete in Thunar's location dialog (ctrl-L)? [15:05] np BlackBerries_ [15:06] did you get the askubuntu.com post? [16:03] ciao a tutti [16:04] sono nuovo e vorrei far si che le estensioni si vedano sempre [16:04] come fare?? [17:59] Hello, I'm getting: "reboot not tainted", and my computer refuses to reboot/shutoff [17:59] I have tried some grub settings, like acpi=force, pci=reboot [17:59] but no luck [18:32] so I just reinstalled Xubuntu11.04 and my home folder is on another partition [18:32] but try as I might I can't seem to get my fstab settings right [18:32] למי היגעתי [18:33] UUID=f6fb50fc-6709-47be-beeb-f1448e8a42ff /home reiserfs defaults 0 2 [18:34] ? [18:35] 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] works fine if i comment out that line [18:35] halp! <3 [18:41] i don't know why but my installer started a "complete upgrade of the system" [18:41] D: [18:41] i dont want that [19:46] aaaaaaand fixed. had to update the crypttab file so that the encrypted partition could be mounted on login :D === xubuntu954 is now known as andy === andy is now known as andyc [20:58] god are all nicks registered :S [20:59] no [20:59] thankgod oh well guess ill need to ind a unregistered nick later and get helkp later :) [21:00] is there a Déjà Dup back up tool like software for xfce/ xubuntu? [21:12] hello there, does anybody know, how to tell xfce4 to rotate *all* displayed in the panel by 90 degrees? [21:14] mmm [21:14] you can rotate the text? [21:14] thats what im asking [21:14] mmm i see [21:14] no idea soryy [21:14] r^ [21:39] "First, copy the easy-rsa directory to /etc/openvpn." - Where can I locate easy-rsa? [21:39] good evening [21:40] Hey wizard [21:40] Fixed the screen tearing, but now stuck with openvpn ha ha [21:40] I like how an official ubuntu tutorial does not even tell ya where easy-rsa is lol [21:41] both locate and apt-cache gave no results [21:41] neither my wisdom ;P [21:42] whats the command? I'll do it myself if not i will have to create it i guess [21:42] though it makes out it alreayd exists [22:17] so the content of the xfce4 panel cannot be rotated by 90 degrees? (everything, incl. text)? [22:20] i want my xubuntu to be in pirate [22:21] oh, nevermind i found the xfce channel :) [22:21] hehe [22:42] in pirate? [22:43] Mandrew: use deja-vue ? It will work the same as in Ubuntu [22:43] well, no [22:43] deja-dup is the right one for backup [22:45] charlie-tca, so there is no "native" back up tool then for xfce? [22:45] Not one written by the Xfce developers, no [22:46] anything that works in GTK would be a good choice, though, since that is what Xfce is based on [22:46] ok [22:46] aah well ill give it a go then, just wanted to stick with everything in xfce ;) im a new user of xfce and xubuntu [22:47] Xubuntu is based on Ubuntu, so that whatever is in the Ubuntu Repositories should work with it [22:47] It saves a lot of work if you don't have to re-write everything [22:48] that is true [22:49] lol software center just gave up on me :) [22:50] oooh no not that tosser again ;) [22:52] I just use Synaptic Package Manager [22:55] i started up task manager and killed the process, that made it a bit happier [22:59] 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 [23:00] 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 [23:01] You can Encrypt the /home, and carry the stick with you at all times. [23:01] that is a bloody smart thing [23:03] but then again a usb-stick cant store that much info, so it kind off falls on that [23:04] How much? 128gb, 256gb? [23:05] well not that much though [23:06] Then a 256GB thumb drive would be big enough [23:06] You could keep the entire operating system on it, even, if the system will boot from usb [23:07] 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] the carry the sensitive info on that [23:08] You only need one home, you divide it into partitions to use both the hard drive and usb stick, like [23:09] making /home/mandrew/most_of_my_music and /home/mandrew/encrypted_data_on_usb [23:10] The OS doesn't care how many partitions /home/mandrew is split into, as long as they are valid partitions [23:10] so i can pin a /home on two different partitions? [23:10] sure [23:10] I do it on some of my systems [23:10] I have /home/charlie/ [23:11] that is some deep stuff [23:11] and /home/charlie/VirtualBox and /home/charlie/Music and /home/charlie/Downloads [23:11] all on three hard drives [23:12] Nothing says they must all be in one drive, but it does cause problems if they are not all there at boot [23:12] how do i wright that into the installer? i have made a swap, /, and a /home on my OS [23:12] You use manual/other partitioning, and create what you want [23:13] Where that little box is to choose the mount point, type it in instead of picking one [23:13] ok [23:14] 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 [23:15] that is wicked stuff though [23:15] Some of the power of linux [23:15] !partitions [23:15] 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 [23:16] There' s some more information on it, but I haven't read all that. [23:17] ok cool ill add that to my wicked list [23:17] QtParted is that for gnome or kde? [23:18] !PartitionManager [23:18] 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] !QtParted [23:18] q apps are usually kde, g apps are gnome/gtk [23:18] aah ok [23:19] gparted is the one you want [23:19] yea that is the one im used to [23:21] 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 [23:26] aah well charlie-tca thanks for the tip with the partitions [23:30] yw [23:31] I am the same way with Kubuntu, I do test it, but it is very hard for me to use it. [23:31] yes the same with gnome 3 and unity [23:32] to much things going on there [23:35] Unity is great for the beginning linux from windows user. [23:35] They expect it to be differenct, and it is. But it is quite easy for them to learn. [23:36] i think that xubuntu is a great newbie distro [23:37] 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] the one who thought of making it possible to open folders in the terminal is a genius [23:37] It is harder to get some stuff working in Xubuntu that "just works" in Ubuntu [23:38] you think? i havent had any trouble so far [23:39] so long one stick with the stuff in software center you be ok i reckon [23:40] but i dont know what newbies normally try to do or where they mess up [23:42] Well, like the issues with vpn, which normally works in Ubuntu. Some of the video issues, are not in Ubuntu [23:42] also, Ubuntu-One fails badly for us [23:44] like play back of videos? [23:47] yea i saw that a user had some trouble to install openvpn earlier today [23:48] ubuntu-one doesnt have support for anything els than ubuntu yet or have i got that all wrong? [23:55] I think kubuntu has ubuntuone, and windows might too, now
