| Loxy | Greetings all I seem to have run into a bit of a problem... | 02:09 |
| Loxy | I installed xubuntu on a laptop and there is no graphical interface, all I have is the command line | 02:10 |
| Loxy | Is there any way to get into the graphic interface through the command line? | 02:11 |
| desdlemm | Loxy, startx | 02:12 |
| Loxy | currently installing xinit | 02:13 |
| Loxy | Thank you :) I'll be back if that doesn't work for some reason ;) | 02:13 |
| Loxy | Oh! One more question... Will I have to "startx" every time I reboot the computer? | 02:14 |
| desdlemm | ideally you shouldn't | 02:15 |
| desdlemm | lightdm should start everything | 02:15 |
| desdlemm | or is it gdm | 02:16 |

| desdlemm | Loxy, no xterm? | 02:18 |
| Loxy | Umm xterm? | 02:18 |
| desdlemm | usually it's started by xinit | 02:19 |
| Loxy | I don't think so | 02:19 |
| Loxy | Is that what I run? | 02:19 |
| Loxy | xinit? | 02:19 |
| desdlemm | it's a white window with command prompt and scrollbar on its left | 02:19 |
| Loxy | no scroll bar but the window is white | 02:20 |
| desdlemm | try to type there nohup xfce4-session & | 02:21 |

| Loxy | xfce4-session: no such file or directory | 02:25 |
| desdlemm | oh | 02:25 |
| Loxy | nohup: ignoring input and appending output to "nohup.out" | 02:26 |
| Loxy | That was first, sorry | 02:26 |
| Loxy | Am I screwed? | 02:26 |
| desdlemm | who knows? try sudo apt-get install xfce4-session | 02:27 |
| desdlemm | then sudo apt-get install gdm | 02:28 |
| RiceKing | Hi all | 02:33 |
| Loxy | Okay desdlemm, done installing both | 02:35 |
| desdlemm | can you start xfce4-session now? | 02:36 |
| Loxy | Do I type nohup xfce4-session? | 02:37 |
| desdlemm | yes, with final & | 02:37 |
| Loxy | okay I'll try | 02:37 |
| Loxy | nohup: ignoring input and appending output to 'nohup.out' | 02:40 |
| Loxy | that's it, there's nothing but a _ below that | 02:41 |
| Loxy | a blinking _ below** | 02:41 |
| desdlemm | interesting | 02:42 |
| Loxy | Indeed... | 02:42 |
| desdlemm | have no idea what to do with it now, though | 02:42 |
| Loxy | I hit enter then typed startx and it worked! | 02:44 |
| Loxy | Thanks guys XD | 02:44 |
| Loxy | I'm still learning command line, so your help is appreciated!! | 02:44 |

| kevin | hello i saw on the xubuntu web site that i could join that channel to get support is any one here that would be willing to help? | 06:01 |
| Besogon | Thehe is quite silent for most of the time. What's your problem? | 06:03 |
| kevin | hi and thanks | 06:03 |
| kevin | my problem is that within the last few days when starting up xubuntu on my netbook the desktop will flicker between a brown background and my set wallpaper | 06:04 |
| kevin | the icons will also change styles and then the desktop will 50percent of the time look normal after a few flips back and forth but other times stay with the brown bakcground a ugly icons | 06:05 |
| kevin | i was wondering if you could give me a place to start trouble shooting as i have no idea what is causing what to break | 06:06 |
| Besogon | Oh... Never face with it. sorry. May be something is wrong with your home dir.. Try to create new user and look if OS behaves in similar way. If the problem still exists then I'd reinstall all. | 06:09 |
| kevin | the user sugestion is a really good idea and if not i will prolly end up re installing b/c i remember a similar problem back in 10.10 but i got frustrated and went to ubuntu ...and then got frustrated at unity | 06:11 |
| kevin | but i will deff try the user thing thanks | 06:11 |

| jarnos | I am trying to copy a folder tree by Thunar, but it gives me permission denied error even if I have write permission for the destination folder. | 10:30 |
| well_laid_lawn | jarnos: what command are you trying? | 10:32 |
| well_laid_lawn | or doing it through thunar? | 10:33 |
| jarnos | well_laid_lawn, yes | 10:33 |
| jarnos | well_laid_lawn, it gives very sketchy error dialog | 10:34 |
| well_laid_lawn | try from the terminal | 10:34 |
| well_laid_lawn | cp -Rv /path/from /path/to | 10:34 |
| jarnos | well_laid_lawn, I think I tried that too, but it does not preserve timestamps for some reason. | 10:37 |
| well_laid_lawn | jarnos: the -p option preserves timestamps | 10:39 |
| well_laid_lawn | cp -Rpv /path/from /path/to | 10:39 |
| well_laid_lawn | jarnos: or --preserve[=ATTR_LIST] | 10:40 |

| joshh^ | i need help with ubuntu installation | 19:24 |
| joshh^ | can anyone help me? | 19:24 |
| joshh^ | is anyone alive here? | 19:31 |
| Sysi | joshh^: pop a question and see if somebody has an ansver | 19:33 |
| joshh^ | I have XP installed on my system...how do I install Ubuntu...I need dual boot...please help | 19:35 |
| knome | joshh^, i suggest you to ask #ubuntu. and please don't randomly send private messages to people. thanks. | 19:39 |
| joshh^ | sorry knome! | 19:40 |
| knome | !dualboot | joshh^ | 19:41 |
| ubottu | joshh^: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 19:41 |
| knome | there's also those instructions, so if everything goes right, you might not need any other help than those | 19:41 |
| joshh^ | thanks knome | 19:42 |
| knome | no problem, have fun | 19:43 |
| joshh^ | :) | 19:44 |
| genii-around | joshh^: Also please do not post the same question in multiple channels. It's annoying and rude. Just ask in the channel for distribution you want to dual-boot to, not all of them. | 19:44 |
| FrozenFire | Is there any way to increase the hit zone for window resizing? I'm finding that it's requiring too much precision to grab the edges of the window | 19:45 |
| knome | genii-around, well i asked him to ask #ubuntu, if it doesn't go beyond that, it's okay :) | 19:45 |
| knome | FrozenFire, in xubuntu 11.04, there is a resize grip on the lower right corner | 19:45 |
| genii-around | knome: Ah. This was the third channel I saw it ( #kubuntu and #ubuntu as well ) | 19:46 |
| Sysi | FrozenFire: use different window manager theme, see window manager settings | 19:46 |
| FrozenFire | knome, Yup, but even that is hard to grab | 19:46 |
| Sysi | FrozenFire: also try holding alt and right mouse button | 19:46 |
| FrozenFire | Sysi, That's awesome. Thanks for that. | 19:46 |
| FrozenFire | That'll suffice, now that I'm aware of it | 19:46 |

| mecklen | I'm running 11.04 and have an Applications Menu item that has the wrong path. How do I change it? | 21:04 |
| mecklen | I've looked for a .desktop file corresponding to the item and cannot find it. I've google and found old documentation that appears to be no longer valid, it describes ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml which doesn't exist. | 21:11 |
| Sysi | it's some item in /usr/share/applications/ copy from there to ~/.local/share/applications/ | 21:12 |
| mecklen | Sysi: Thanks, found it. It had the file name "alacarte-made.desktop" when the application is called TestTrack. I guess that's a company name or something. Thanks for the ponter! | 21:17 |

| QJT | Hi there! I'v been a user of Ubuntu since 9.10 and been loving it. I dabbled with xfce but decided to stick with gnome up until the implementation of unity. I installed Xubuntu 11.04 and its exactly what I need, but there are a few minor bugs. The most annoying is the notification area displaying multiple "don't show this message again" buttons when connecting/disconnecting from a network. Is this bug: a) exclusive to Xubuntu 11.04? b) b | 21:41 |
| QJT | eing looked at for future releases? c) solvable by an intermediate user? | 21:41 |
| knome | afaik, a & b | 21:42 |
| QJT | Thank you very much! =] Also, there is a bug when opening thunar for the first time on every start up. Thunar takes a long time to open and opens two windows. Same questions as last post. | 21:47 |
| knome | thunar shouldn't open two windows when launched | 21:50 |
| knome | are they opened automatically when you login, or when you manually launch thunar? | 21:51 |
| QJT | when i launch thunar. it takes over 30 sec to open and then 10 sec later another window opens. | 21:53 |
| knome | weird. have you tried to ask #xfce, they might know about that? | 21:55 |
| knome | bbl | 21:57 |
| QJT | i'll ask #xfce, thanks for all your help =] | 21:58 |
| WormDrink | hi | 22:03 |

| well_laid_lawn | WormDrink: in ~/.config/Thunar/thunarrc there's this line MiscCaseSensitive=TRUE | 23:02 |

| mikodo | ?open root of thunar. I can gksu nautilus for it; not thunar. | 23:30 |
| charlie-tca | Then you should install thunar, remove nautilus, then gksu thunar | 23:31 |
| mikodo | but I have both installed | 23:31 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe nautilus is grabbing it, then. It gets pretty pushy | 23:32 |
| mikodo | Ya, maybe | 23:32 |
| charlie-tca | I do use gksu thunar, anytime I need to modify a file using root. It is the easiest way to navigate without using CLI | 23:32 |
| mikodo | seemingly I can't -> Permission denied or something, i forget | 23:33 |
| charlie-tca | what about gksudo thunar? same response? | 23:35 |
| mikodo | I do it again, and copy the response | 23:35 |
| mikodo | Failed to open directory "mikodo" -> Error stating '/home/mikodo/.gvfs': Permission denied | 23:38 |
| mikodo | gksu nautilus work | 23:38 |
| mikodo | what is .gvfs' | 23:39 |
| charlie-tca | gnome-virtual-file-system | 23:40 |
| charlie-tca | so, nautilus is overriding thunar | 23:40 |
| mikodo | It seems | 23:40 |
| mikodo | gnome-virtual-file-system Thanks | 23:41 |
| charlie-tca | and, since gnome and nautilus takes over, they win every time | 23:41 |
| charlie-tca | solution: use nautilus or remove nautilus | 23:41 |
| mikodo | I like nautilus for mounting devices and services, so want to keep both. | 23:42 |
| mikodo | I will continue to use gksu nautilus for root access to FS | 23:42 |
| mikodo | Thx charlie-tca | 23:43 |
| charlie-tca | you are welcome | 23:43 |

| NOLOG | it's because i can't clear the ristretto history | 23:56 |
