[03:13] <paul_> what do I do when the package manager fails with an update?
[03:20] <rana_> hi
[03:21] <rana_> i'm having some problem installing wine from the software center
[05:04] <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 :(
[05:05] <rhin0> "twinview"?
[05:12] <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
[05:13] <charlie-tca> The normal cd is a GUI installer, the alternate install cd is a text based installer. Both result in the same installation
[05:36] <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
[07:08] <Rodensky> Using Xubuntu 10.04, suddenly I got a dialog window with the following text: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632198/
[08:03] <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
[08:04] <gr8m8> you probably don't then - did anything happen after the popup?
[08:16] <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.
[09:24] <Rodensky> i never installed it
[09:24] <Rodensky> o sorry
[09:25] <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
[09:41] <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
[09:42] <poptisse> The specific part being disable workarounds -> Don't wait for video sync and Enable Workarounds -> Force full screen redrews (buffer swap) on repaint
[09:51] <Rodensky> please help me with this problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632266/
[09:55] <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.
[10:05] <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?
[10:06] <gr8m8> Rodensky: in the package manager I would search the installed packages for kde
[10:06] <gr8m8> phonon is kde's sound server
[10:07] <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?
[10:08] <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
[11:22] <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?
[13:28] <jarnos> Have anyone else experienced that resuming from suspend to RAM is occasionally very slow in 11.04?
[14:13] <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.
[14:23] <Mandrew> hello
[14:24] <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?
[14:39] <charlie-tca> Mandrew: you agreed to folow the guidelines when you enter the channel. Please do so.
[14:39] <charlie-tca> !guidelines
[14:40] <BlackBerries> openvpn wont work in xubuntu
[14:41] <charlie-tca> I don't know how to make vpn work
[14:42] <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
[14:43] <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
[14:44] <BlackBerries> but for some reason
[14:44] <BlackBerries> it does not want to work on xubuntu on my desktop
[14:45] <Mandrew> ok
[14:46] <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.
[14:47] <BlackBerries> I don't have a cisco vpn
[14:51] <BlackBerries> it says
[14:51] <BlackBerries> connection refused :l
[14:51] <BlackBerries> ffs
[15:03] <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)?
[15:05] <Mandrew> np BlackBerries_
[15:06] <Mandrew> did you get the askubuntu.com post?
[16:03] <xubuntu545> ciao a tutti
[16:04] <xubuntu545> sono nuovo e vorrei far si che le estensioni si vedano sempre
[16:04] <xubuntu545> come fare??
[17:59] <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
[18:32] <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
[18:33] <mayko> UUID=f6fb50fc-6709-47be-beeb-f1448e8a42ff /home 	reiserfs defaults       0       2
[18:34] <nady> ?
[18:35] <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
[18:41] <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
[19:46] <mayko> aaaaaaand fixed. had to update the crypttab file so that the encrypted partition could be mounted on login :D
[20:58] <andyc> god are all nicks registered :S
[20:59] <moetunes> no
[20:59] <andyc> thankgod oh well guess ill need to ind a unregistered nick later and get helkp later :)
[21:00] <Mandrew> is there a Déjà Dup back up tool like software for xfce/ xubuntu?
[21:12] <stoerenungeheuer> hello there, does anybody know, how to tell xfce4 to rotate *all* displayed in the panel by 90 degrees?
[21:14] <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^
[21:39] <Poptisse> "First, copy the easy-rsa directory to /etc/openvpn." - Where can I locate easy-rsa?
[21:39] <Wizard> good evening
[21:40] <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
[21:41] <Wizard> both locate and apt-cache gave no results
[21:41] <Wizard> neither my wisdom ;P
[21:42] <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
[22:17] <stoerenungeheuer> so the content of the xfce4 panel cannot be rotated by 90 degrees? (everything, incl. text)?
[22:20] <Mandrew> i want my xubuntu to be in pirate
[22:21] <stoerenungeheuer> oh, nevermind i found the xfce channel :)
[22:21] <Mandrew> hehe
[22:42] <Wizard> in pirate?
[22:43] <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
[22:45] <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
[22:46] <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
[22:47] <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
[22:48] <Mandrew> that is true
[22:49] <Mandrew> lol software center just gave up on me :)
[22:50] <Mandrew> oooh no not that tosser again ;)
[22:52] <charlie-tca> I just use Synaptic Package Manager
[22:55] <Mandrew> i started up task manager and killed the process, that made it a bit happier
[22:59] <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
[23:00] <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
[23:01] <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
[23:03] <Mandrew> but then again a usb-stick cant store that much info, so it kind off falls on that
[23:04] <charlie-tca> How much? 128gb, 256gb?
[23:05] <Mandrew> well not that much though
[23:06] <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
[23:07] <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
[23:08] <charlie-tca> You only need one home, you divide it into partitions to use both the hard drive and usb stick, like
[23:09] <charlie-tca> making /home/mandrew/most_of_my_music and /home/mandrew/encrypted_data_on_usb
[23:10] <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/
[23:11] <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
[23:12] <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
[23:13] <charlie-tca> Where that little box is to choose the mount point, type it in instead of picking one
[23:13] <Mandrew> ok
[23:14] <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
[23:15] <Mandrew> that is wicked stuff though
[23:15] <charlie-tca> Some of the power of linux
[23:15] <charlie-tca> !partitions
[23:16] <charlie-tca> There' s some more information on it, but I haven't read all that.
[23:17] <Mandrew> ok cool ill add that to my wicked list
[23:17] <Mandrew> QtParted is that for gnome or kde?
[23:18] <Mandrew> !PartitionManager
[23:18] <Mandrew> !QtParted
[23:18] <charlie-tca> q apps are usually kde, g apps are gnome/gtk
[23:18] <Mandrew> aah ok
[23:19] <charlie-tca> gparted is the one you want
[23:19] <Mandrew> yea that is the one im used to
[23:21] <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
[23:26] <Mandrew> aah well charlie-tca  thanks for the tip with the partitions
[23:30] <charlie-tca> yw
[23:31] <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
[23:32] <Mandrew> to much things going on there
[23:35] <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.
[23:36] <Mandrew> i think that xubuntu is a great newbie distro
[23:37] <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
[23:38] <Mandrew> you think? i havent had any trouble so far
[23:39] <Mandrew> so long one stick with the stuff in software center you be ok i reckon
[23:40] <Mandrew> but i dont know what newbies normally try to do or where they mess up
[23:42] <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
[23:44] <Mandrew> like play back of videos?
[23:47] <Mandrew> yea i saw that a user had some trouble to install openvpn earlier today
[23:48] <Mandrew> ubuntu-one doesnt have support for anything els than ubuntu yet or have i got that all wrong?
[23:55] <charlie-tca> I think kubuntu has ubuntuone, and windows might too, now
