[01:27] running Xubuntu 11.04 - in Thunar file manager, how do I search for files?? [01:28] search for files in the currect directory or on the computer? [01:28] current directory [01:28] type [01:29] thats not what I need - how to search for say all *.DOC files in a folder [01:30] there is no such feature - try catfish [01:30] ugg, kind of an important feature [01:30] free to file a wishlist bug. [01:31] what is catfish? [01:31] it's an application that *drumroll* searches for files, which is what you are asking [01:33] that works, thanks [01:33] its already installed [01:33] yes [03:01] What's the difference between a VPN and a proxy? [03:21] hmm [03:21] $VPN [03:21] nope [03:21] lol [03:21] !VPN [03:21] For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [03:21] there === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:52] bonjour je cherche un peu d'aide [08:50] Hi all. Got a question about Skype on xubuntu...anyone about to help? [08:51] ask your question and see if somebody pops ouy with an ansver [08:51] *out [08:54] ok cheers [08:55] running 2.6.32-32-generic with Skype 2.2 but buggered if I can get the webcam to work (Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:08da Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Messanger) [08:55] google video works though [08:55] but nothing through skype [08:56] any ideas? [12:21] is there a way to restore xubuntu to default settings? [15:56] am I on? [18:28] i accidentally removed the item on my xfce panel which had the wifi connection icon..... [18:28] now there is no way for me to connect to my wirless network [18:29] i looked everywhere in Add New Items, but can't find the app [18:29] what app should i be looking for [18:29] * Drone4four pokes #xubuntu [18:29] should I also be asking in #xfce? [18:30] Drone4four: it should be the network manager applet, lemme see.. [18:31] Drone4four: you want "notification area" [18:32] pleia2, i found the Notification Area entry in the Add New Items but it is greyed out and I can't Add it [18:32] hm, odd [18:32] It's probably already there [18:32] alt+f2 then type nm-applet and press enter [18:34] when I type nm-applet at the command line, it says, "An instance of the nm-applet is already running." [18:34] open a term, 'killall nm-applet' and try it again [18:37] aatk, pleia2: after i killall nm-applet and retype nm-applet, it seems to hang with the error saying "(nm-applet:1878): DEBUS: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0" [19:07] Drone4four: have you tried rebooting your machine? [19:07] or logging out/in? [19:18] aatk, i rebooted and that fixed the problem...ty pleia2 + aatk [19:29] cool, glad it works now :) [19:49] Are there some people here who can help me debug a boot delay issue [19:49] it tried the ubuntu-boot channel, but nobody except the logbot was there [19:50] maybe, what's up? [19:50] try installing bootchart and see images it makes [19:50] tried bootchart but the delay is after grub has finished and before init runs [19:51] When I boot my system I first get the BIOS [19:51] everything goes according to plan [19:51] then I get grub [19:52] everything still oke [19:52] grub finishes with a blank screen and a pulsing white underscore [19:53] the screen goes completely black, no pulsing white underscore [19:53] the HDD let pulses for a short time [19:53] 10 seconds of nothing [19:53] the HDD led goes on again but longer [19:53] and the systen boots [19:54] Everything is the same as my previous install with 10.04 except for the 10 seconds of darkness [19:55] I tried /var/log/syslog, but it only starts logging after the delay [19:55] I checked grub timeout in the /etc/default/grub and changed the parameters about timeouts, but it remained 10 seconds [19:56] As already said bootchart didn't show anything relevant since it starts after the delay [19:57] So any idea's what is causing this? [19:57] Or how do you troubleshoot something that runs before init? [19:57] s/runs/happens [20:03] does your grub command line have "quiet splash" in it? might be worth removing that (and turning off any splash graphics) and watching hte text [20:04] Already removed those when I installed the system [20:05] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="elevator=noop" [20:05] have you run update-grub? [20:05] you may need to put "text" as option [20:05] Yes I have, every time I changed a timeout setting [20:06] is text the same as nosplash? [20:06] I don't quite know [20:07] that's oke. I don't know it either [20:09] does dmesg have anything immediatly after boot? [20:09] * moxyr is rebooting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text elevator=noop" [20:10] aatk: will answer after reboot ;) [20:12] text-option had the same issue [20:13] grub -> 10 seconds of nothingness -> console login [20:15] as far as I can tell it looks normal [20:15] I shall post the first 4 seconds on pastebin [20:17] are you dual booting? or have any weird partitions/booting of SD or USB? [20:17] dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/641491/ [20:18] Single boot, fresh install (No upgrade for old install), no USB drives are attached [20:19] output of fdisk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/641493/ [20:20] I'm going to reboot and see if I have any delay [20:20] oke :) [20:24] it takes about 10s for me to get from grub->login screen [20:25] maybe slightly longer [20:25] is your disk active for 10sec? [20:27] My bootchart reports 8.23 seconds but when i use a stopwatch i get around 18 seconds [20:28] not sure, the leds are broken [20:28] probably because the profiler/collector only runs after the delay... [20:29] oke no problem [20:31] hi there [20:32] hi [20:32] hello [20:34] While googling I found that the bliking underscore "is what you get after GRUB boots the default OS but before init loads the kernel DRM module." [20:35] so it isn't grub (or grub2 in this case) [20:35] I'm having a bit of trouble here... I changed my alsa configuration to use my usb sound card as default and everything works perfectly, except I have no sound in flash anymore :/ [20:35] any ideas whats going on here? [20:36] I'll reboot again in a few minutes and see if I can hear when the disk spins up (fan is pretty noisy) i should really get a new laptop [20:36] cetchmoh_, it might be that pulseaudio is messing stuff up. you could try installing pavucontrol and see if everything looks okay there [20:37] aatk: maybe if you take a bootchart and it says 11 seconds then you know you dont have the same delay [20:37] knome: mplayer is working fine with -ao pulse and -ao alsa [20:38] cetchmoh_, i'm no expert in audio, but that might be something to start with at least :) [20:38] hmm... pavucontrol settings look okay... [20:40] rebooting w/ bootchart [20:50] aatk: any luck with rebooting? :) [20:50] booted into windows by accident first time round [20:50] i should really sleep [20:51] just opening bootchart now [20:53] * moxyr will also need sleep in 30 minutes [20:53] aatk: do you need my bootchart for comparison? [20:53] I'm just checking 2 of mine [20:53] and they're totally different [20:54] most recent has a 10-14 second delay caused by ureadahead :/ [20:54] previous one looks normal [20:55] probably because installing bootchart caused a reprofile by ureadahead? [20:55] it's the more recent one with the delay [20:56] 1st one after installing bootchart looks fine [20:56] that's odd to say at least... [20:56] yeah [21:00] ureadahead seems to be nice according to the bootchart here [21:02] so if it's after grub but before the collector of bootchart [21:03] then we have "loading of the kernel", "bootstrapping with initramfs" and "init" [21:12] meh, again an unsuccesfull evening [21:13] time to sleep. Tomorrow another try [21:13] aatk: thanks for your effort [21:14] too bad we couldn't find it [21:14] have a good night everyone [21:14] night moxyr === moxyr is now known as moxyr|zzz [21:15] moxyr|zzz, please try to avoid awaynicks (away message is enough), thanks! :) [22:44] hi there, I have a problem with the alternate installation CD. I use unetbootin to load it onto my flash disk but the installation procedure crashes because it cannot find a CD drive. i don't have a CD drive on my netbook and neither do I have access to an external drive [22:45] would anyone know how to fix that issue? thanks :) [22:48] Does it say that it is the CD drive that is the issue? [22:48] Or does it say that it cannot find packages? [22:48] i do not have the dialog in front of me, but it complained of being unable to mount the cd drive [22:48] it is not a package problem [22:49] ok [22:49] You should probably dump to the terminal and find out the exact issue [22:50] alright, how do i dump? i'm quite comfortable with the console :) [22:51] You could switch using ctrl+alt+fx [22:53] will it contain the error code without my cooperation? [22:55] Arthenik: the right terminal will contain it all [22:55] alright, sounds good. thanks :) i'm redownloading the CD at the moment, so I'll try it later. thanks again [22:56] I wouldnt use unetbootin, it installs its own little enivronment on the disk you use [22:56] Rather use the Startup Disk Creator [22:56] does it work with all varieties of live cds? [22:57] I would suppose it works for all kinds of boot images [22:57] Ive used it for dump my own OS onto USB [22:58] afaik, the usb disk creator needs a desktop image [22:58] ah, i see it only works on linux. unfortunately, i only have access to a windows workstation ATM [22:58] but I'm checking alternatives [23:00] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tools_to_create_Live_USB_systems [23:00] nvm me, sorry, didnt read what it said [23:01] c'è qualcuno che parla italiano?does anybody speaks italian here?
