| Xfiles | moi aussi | 01:09 |
| Xfiles | oops english only | 01:10 |
| MetaCosm | Hmph, I been googling a bit -- anyone have a line on problems with nm-applet on x64 | 01:50 |
| chuckles | i am trying to install xbuntu, but when i make a live usb then boot to it, all i get is a black screen with a cursor flashing, this occurs on my asus eee pc 1015 pem and i get the same thing on an old dell inspiron 1150 | 04:58 |
| chuckles | can anyone help? | 04:58 |
| moylan | what software are you using to make the boot usb? | 04:58 |
| chuckles | i tried unetbootin | 05:03 |
| chuckles | and linux live usb creator | 05:03 |
| moylan | one problem i found was that if the usb drive wasn't formatted correctly it wouldn't boot. | 05:04 |
| chuckles | i formatted it to fat 32 | 05:04 |
| chuckles | the computer sees it fine, but it won't boot at all | 05:04 |
| moylan | sounds like the problem i had. i cheated and just formatted it different formats on a windows system till unetbootin writing the image worked again. | 05:06 |
| moylan | also you have made sure the bios will allow boot from usb? | 05:06 |
| chuckles | yep, i set both computers i tried to boot from usb, and there have been others who have put ubuntu onto the asus 1015pem | 05:08 |
| chuckles | i am pretty eager to try ubuntu, never tried a linux distro before, but man, this is really frustrating | 05:09 |
| moylan | installing linux used to be the hardest thing. now i find it easier than installing windows. that doesn't help you right now though. still thinking... | 05:10 |
| lighta | did you tryed with lio ? | 05:11 |
| lighta | is it the good name let me check | 05:11 |
| chuckles | what is lio? | 05:11 |
| lighta | yeah I alway had issue with unetbotin too so it's on my black list now ! | 05:11 |
| lighta | like usb creaot | 05:11 |
| lighta | oups usb creator* | 05:12 |
| chuckles | i tried lili usb creator | 05:12 |
| moylan | what os is currently on the machines? | 05:12 |
| chuckles | same result | 05:12 |
| lighta | ah lilo | 05:12 |
| lighta | ye I remenber was 4 letter | 05:12 |
| chuckles | dell has xp, asus has windows 7 starter | 05:12 |
| lighta | like most computer :( | 05:12 |
| chuckles | yeah, would like to find a better alternative, and when i read how you could try distros without installing them that seemed ideal | 05:13 |
| chuckles | except i can't get em to boot lol | 05:13 |
| lighta | oh ? well let me found lilo for you | 05:14 |
| lighta | what did u try already again ? usb creator and unetbootin ? | 05:14 |
| lighta | oh did they change name ? | 05:15 |
| lighta | http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ | 05:15 |
| chuckles | usb creator didn't work at all for me, (the one that came packaged with ubuntu 11.04) i tried unetbootin | 05:15 |
| chuckles | and linux live usb creator' | 05:15 |
| chuckles | currently trying a different usb drive that my friend just gave me | 05:16 |
| lighta | ah yeah I had this issue too | 05:16 |
| chuckles | any known issues with kingston usb drives | 05:16 |
| lighta | my usb drive had an error, but hopefully was discovered when I did checksum | 05:16 |
| chuckles | well i did checksum on my downloaded image and it was good | 05:17 |
| lighta | ok well then | 05:17 |
| lighta | hmm let see if I can found annother usb installer | 05:18 |
| chuckles | hey cool, it worked, i guess the problem was my flash drive | 05:19 |
| chuckles | damn, just bought that thing | 05:19 |
| lighta | ah | 05:20 |
| lighta | I think you're in right to complain then | 05:20 |
| chuckles | yeah, think i will take it back to fry's | 05:20 |
| lighta | fry ?? | 05:20 |
| chuckles | fry's is a big electronics store on the west coast of the us | 05:21 |
| lighta | hey hmm by any chance are you familiar with svn with apache ssl ? | 05:21 |
| Dice-Man | hello | 05:21 |
| lighta | hi | 05:21 |
| Dice-Man | i'm actually connected to an ssh server | 05:21 |
| chuckles | nope, not me | 05:21 |
| Dice-Man | how to download a file from it ? | 05:21 |
| lighta | you want the command line ? | 05:21 |
| Dice-Man | scp breaks my teeth | 05:22 |
| Dice-Man | yes | 05:22 |
| Dice-Man | the server is in LAN | 05:22 |
| Dice-Man | the server turns under xubuntu :] | 05:22 |
| lighta | doesn't matter let me just try before gave it to you sometime I write wrong so | 05:22 |
| chuckles | thanks for all your help lighta, gonna play with my new os now | 05:22 |
| lighta | you welcom I didn't help much =) | 05:23 |
| Dice-Man | lighta: it's like a long long long cmd | 05:23 |
| lighta | oh well Dice-Man than I'll suggest you use an ftp client and use sftp option | 05:24 |
| lighta | that what I do mostly =) | 05:24 |
| lighta | or you use rsync but you should have configure that | 05:25 |
| lighta | don't you have a ftp client ? | 05:25 |
| knome | or use sshfs to mount the remote | 05:25 |
| Dice-Man | well ok | 05:25 |
| lighta | yeah something easier like that | 05:26 |
| Dice-Man | yay ! | 05:27 |
| Dice-Man | it runs with fillezilla | 05:27 |
| Dice-Man | hum the client is under gnome :) | 05:27 |
| lighta | ah yeah that what I used too =) | 05:27 |
| lighta | hmm if it's under gnome you could simply add the server as a drive too, but I prefer filezilla imo | 05:27 |
| lighta | my computer was kinda slow... | 05:28 |
| Dice-Man | well | 05:28 |
| Dice-Man | if i want to add a different user to connect to my server | 05:29 |
| Dice-Man | i need to create an account on the server ?? | 05:29 |
| Dice-Man | adduser ! | 05:29 |
| lighta | hmm that depend what the goal | 05:30 |
| lighta | but yes you can always add a system user to acces it | 05:30 |
| lighta | but if it's only for ftp or something like that you may wanna take a look at virtual user using a file or db to set users | 05:32 |
| Dice-Man | yeah | 05:33 |
| Dice-Man | the goal is to have a different user to connect with filezilla | 05:33 |
| Dice-Man | instead of connecting me with root login | 05:33 |
| lighta | so it's like an ftp right ? | 05:34 |
| lighta | or you should do command on server too ? | 05:34 |
| lighta | you still can do your first idea and create users, idk if you can chroot them, must take a look at config file | 05:35 |
| Dice-Man | yep | 05:38 |
| Dice-Man | i'm happy to success in ssh stuff | 05:39 |
| lighta | =) | 05:39 |
| Dice-Man | i never experienced that with a true lan | 05:39 |
| lighta | hmm you did over web no ? | 05:39 |
| Dice-Man | not again | 05:39 |
| lighta | ah ok, well just the same | 05:40 |
| Dice-Man | i think i'll do that later | 05:40 |
| lighta | well I think not have many pc here :( | 05:40 |
| Dice-Man | i can let a computer switched on everyday in my current location | 05:40 |
| Dice-Man | *i cannpt | 05:40 |
| Dice-Man | cannot | 05:40 |
| lighta | that mean 7 pc ?? | 05:40 |
| Dice-Man | it means electricity is expensive XD | 05:44 |
| lighta | hey guys can no one give a quite look about my apache config, I really not see what wrong about my svn. I followed that guide method 3 : http://queens.db.toronto.edu/~nilesh/linux/subversion-howto/ | 05:44 |
| lighta | ahhhh yeah Dice-Man could mean that too xd | 05:44 |
| keron | hello | 06:12 |
| keron | someone can help me? | 06:12 |
| keron | im new with ubuntu | 06:12 |
| knome | !ask | keron | 06:12 |
| ubottu | keron: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 06:12 |
| keron | i installing ubuntu 10.04, then i go to hardware driver, then i click activate for nvidia graphics driver, it downloads and succesfully installed the driver, then i restart and i show the blank screen | 06:16 |
| keron | i saw the blank screen | 06:17 |
| Shirakawasuna | keron: does ctrl+alt+f2 show you a terminal? | 06:19 |
| Shirakawasuna | keron: I assume this issue arose because nvidia (the driver) doesn't like your computer | 06:20 |
| keron | so waht the solution for the driver? | 06:22 |
| Shirakawasuna | keron: disable it | 06:24 |
| Shirakawasuna | keron: also, why are you using 10.04 and not 11.04? | 06:25 |
| keron | i already have dfownload the old version | 06:26 |
| keron | not yet the latest version | 06:26 |
| keron | how to disable it? | 06:27 |
| keron | i have go to boot menu > recovery mode, it doesnt appear anything | 06:27 |
| Shirakawasuna | keron: if you can ctrl+alt+f2, you can remove it using the apt stuff (sudo apt-get uninstall nvidia-common, maybe?) | 06:34 |
| Shirakawasuna | keron: but really, you should try 11.04 first | 06:34 |
| Shirakawasuna | keron: it has a better chance of just working | 06:34 |
| Shirakawasuna | it might take less time to download 11.04 than diagnose the problem | 06:34 |
| keron | o | 06:35 |
| keron | can u help about wine? | 06:35 |
| Shirakawasuna | maybe :) | 06:38 |
| keron | wine | 06:42 |
| keron | so ican run windows application on ubuntu | 06:42 |
| Shirakawasuna | whoops, forgot they were here | 07:13 |
| jarnos | Is there an alternative way to start new session from existing Xfce session than xscreensaver's "new login"? | 08:49 |
| Fudge | any accessibility guys in here | 09:59 |
| Fudge | 01.04 is lts though | 10:00 |
| Fudge | 10.04 | 10:00 |
| Sysi | pop a question if you have one and somebody maybe ansvers it | 10:01 |
| Fudge | what else can i export to make things work better like thunar etc, it works with orca in gnome. export GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge | 10:13 |
| jarnos | Is suckless-tools automatically installed in xubuntu? | 13:26 |
| jarnos | It is automatically installed in my system, but I don't know how. | 13:26 |
| jarnos | Maybe recommended by some xfce4-package? | 13:27 |
| incorrect | hi, how can i get the xscreen saver to use the nice gtk login form rather than the historic one with the flame | 14:08 |
| doaN | Hi there | 14:18 |

| charlie-tca | !grub | 14:57 |
| ubottu | 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) | 14:57 |
| charlie-tca | Works after installin Xubuntu , too | 14:57 |
| andantino | any idea what could have caused his problem | 15:07 |
| charlie-tca | andantino: what problem? | 15:30 |
| andantino | oh the guy with the grub problem | 15:31 |
| charlie-tca | windows | 15:31 |
| charlie-tca | it makes it very hard to overwrite the mbr | 15:31 |
| andantino | i have never had any problems with it | 15:32 |
| andantino | oh well | 15:33 |
| InfoLoco | Hello, I need some help please. | 18:13 |
| InfoLoco | I'm working with Xubuntu. I would like to include X11NVCserver when the system boots ... | 18:14 |
| InfoLoco | It is very complex for me, because it's my first time working with XFCE | 18:14 |
| Sysi | you want to run it when you login? | 18:14 |
| InfoLoco | yes if is posible | 18:15 |
| Sysi | settings → sessions and startup → autostart | 18:15 |
| InfoLoco | I'm sorry but I don't have sessions and startup can I Intall it? | 18:17 |
| Qronus | hello, one short question: i would like the desktop to show the contents of my home dir, ~, rather than ~/Desktop; how do I do it? | 18:17 |
| TheSheep | Qronus: that's quite easy actually, but probably a bad idea | 18:20 |
| TheSheep | Qronus: there is that file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs | 18:21 |
| ElderDryas | InfoLoco: Settings->Settings Manager->Session and Startup->Application Autostart... | 18:22 |
| InfoLoco | Im Sorry for my expression.... Woooohoooo! | 18:23 |
| Qronus | thaks, thesheep; i have always had such configuration in another machines i use and I am installing xubuntu on a new one... uniformity, that's why. Thanks again! | 18:23 |
| InfoLoco | Thks A lot | 18:23 |
| mikodo | From above: Just for the record; Tried using Brasero to burn an .iso from DVD, could not get it to do it, so could not test to see if I could play an .iso of a biniary file in XFCE 4.8 with Mplayer or VLC. | 18:42 |
| mikodo | Anyone know any N00bish guides for using Window Manager apps in WMdock? | 18:56 |
| mikodo | Anyone know any N00bish guides for using Window Manager apps in WMdock? Edit: should have read Window Maker not Window Mangager. | 20:55 |
| art | hi all-I need to learn how to shut down xubuntu without being able to see the screen. I want an orderly shutdown, not just a forced shutdown/ | 21:47 |
| Unit193 | You could always run sudo poweroff | 21:48 |
| art | does that shut down by doing a normal power off??? | 21:50 |
| Unit193 | Depending on what you mean by that, yes | 21:50 |
| art | and, how do I envoke the terminal from the kb? | 21:51 |
| Unit193 | CTRL+ALT+F1 | 21:51 |
| Unit193 | !tty | 21:51 |
| ubottu | To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. | 21:51 |
| art | ok, ty to you all-will try. | 21:52 |
| Unit193 | Alright, you will need to login first though | 21:53 |
| Unit193 | I use ssh to login if there is a screen problem | 21:53 |
| art | understand the login in via the terminal!!! | 21:54 |
| art | will give it a go-again, thanks. | 21:55 |
| art | and, hi to n2diy, de ky1k. | 21:56 |
| art | im new to IRC and to xubuntu-my Dell laptop has the dreaded black screen video issue, so there will be times when I need to close down the computer without being able to see the screen. | 21:57 |
| Unit193 | When you switch, it's going to ask for your usernaem and password | 21:58 |
| art | in ubuntu/gnome, I used windows key + S, then the down arrow to get to the shutdown command....but it doesn't work in xubuntu/xfce | 21:59 |
| Unit193 | If you switch to it now, you can see it. You can always switch back to here | 21:59 |
| art | yes, I understand about needing to log in and password..... | 22:00 |
| Unit193 | You can add a shortcut for it in Menu > Settings > Settings Manager > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts | 22:00 |
| Sysi | art: you could bind hotkey for xfce4-session-logout, press that combo and right arrow two times | 22:00 |
| art | I tried it, I can go into terminal and out of terminal to graphics.....but can't test the shutdown while maintaining the irc connection. | 22:01 |
| Unit193 | art: Take a look at what Sysi said, it's an easy way | 22:02 |
| art | I don't understand about adding shortcut-----am to new. | 22:02 |
| Sysi | settings manager → keyboard → keyboard shortcuts, command is xfce4-session-logout | 22:02 |
| art | how do I bind a hotkey?? That's way beyond my understanding. | 22:03 |
| Sysi | go to that dialog, give command (press enter) and press keys you want | 22:04 |
| art | ok, I'm going to log this session and try to shut down using the terminal....I shall return...I hope...agn, ty to all. | 22:04 |
| art | it worked, thanks to sysi and unit193. | 22:51 |
| Unit193 | Great! | 22:52 |
| art | there's a problem however....I don't want to share the administrative password with my daughter- | 22:53 |
| art | So I need to create a shortcut so that an administrative password is not needed. | 22:54 |
| art | Im trying to create a shortcut now-but the process is new to me-never saw that screen before::> | 22:57 |
| Unit193 | art: You'll still need to login to a valid user, but type this in terminal and read it man sudoers | 22:58 |
| mikodo | Well, I have been told that the Windows Maker project has been dead for 5 years now. I won't be pursing it at present. | 23:03 |
| art | I found the setup for the shortcut generator, and I named a new shortcut (shutdown), but not sure what to do from there. | 23:10 |
| art | menu>settings>settings menu>keyboard>open application shortcut>click 'add'>type name-I used 'shutdown'....but how to proceed from that point? | 23:15 |
| BlueEagle | art: Did you try CTRL+ALT+F1 for the text console? | 23:15 |
| art | no, didn't know how to proceed. | 23:16 |
| xrdodrx | hi | 23:19 |
