| charlie-tca | I always use apt-get install or Synaptic Package Manager | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| com64 | I've been using apt-get install because it's not working... I'm just installing a few things like Vim and emacs, so no big deal for now. | 00:03 |
| com64 | I think I may have fixed the swap problem. Just deleted partition, rebooted, made a new one exactly 3GB, should work; no sign of problems. | 00:10 |

| munchluxe63 | I can't shut down, hibernate, or suspend; a dialogue box displaying "shutdown failed, failed to suspend, not authorized" and then the session locks. | 01:57 |
| munchluxe63 | Using 11.10 Beta 1 | 01:57 |
| GridCube | you shouldnt use that | 02:20 |
| GridCube | :P but if its for beta testing then you should | 02:20 |
| munchluxe63 | hm | 02:23 |
| munchluxe63 | well, too late now. | 02:23 |
| munchluxe63 | Have reported a few bugs though... | 02:23 |
| munchluxe63 | It was working fine before. | 02:23 |
| munchluxe63 | :S | 02:23 |
| GridCube | :D | 02:26 |
| GridCube | report it | 02:26 |
| munchluxe63 | I think it's due to my own error. | 02:27 |
| munchluxe63 | as it was working earlier | 02:27 |
| munchluxe63 | xfce4-power-manager --dump gives: Authorized to suspend: False || Authorized to hibernate: False || Authorized to shutdown: False || Authorized to spin down hard disks: False | 02:28 |
| munchluxe63 | I wonder how I could change this... | 02:29 |
| munchluxe63 | when I run command with sudo, shows as true | 02:30 |
| Shirakawasuna | were you messing around w/ login manager stuff? | 02:38 |
| munchluxe63 | dunno | 02:40 |
| munchluxe63 | did nothing of the sort | 02:40 |
| munchluxe63 | but I think It may be linked to failed installing of certain packages | 02:40 |
| munchluxe63 | ie. update manager crashed | 02:40 |
| munchluxe63 | or ubuntu software centre | 02:41 |
| munchluxe63 | then the error reporter crashed =_= | 02:41 |
| dreamsofreason | Any idea why Xubuntu 11.04 shows my older Dell 17" monitor as "default?" It also doesn't allow me to choose a resolution other than 1024x768 and 0.0 refresh rate. | 03:26 |
| kokoshmusun | there is no about ubuntu button as in gnome. how do I figure out which version of ubuntu I'm using? | 09:05 |
| Sysi | in terminal: lsb_release | 09:05 |
| kokoshmusun | "No LSB modules are available" | 09:06 |
| bazhang | !version | 09:06 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 09:06 |
| kokoshmusun | "bash: !version: event not found" | 09:07 |
| Sysi | what ubottu said | 09:07 |
| Sysi | !ubottu | 09:07 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #xubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | 09:07 |
| kokoshmusun | lsb_release -a ---> this works. | 09:07 |
| bazhang | try lsb_release -a <--- in terminal | 09:08 |
| bazhang | heh | 09:08 |
| kokoshmusun | I was worried about this: I have a 64-bit PC and I installed xubuntu on it. Then I have a 32-bit laptop and I installed xubuntu on it from the same ISO. Then I though, oh, did I install the 64-bit xubuntu on a 32-bit machine (it works fine). So I don't which version, in terms of 64 or 32 bit, I'm using. How do I figure that out? | 09:09 |
| Sysi | uname -a | 09:09 |
| Sysi | running 32bit is not bad, if you don't have 4GB or more RAM | 09:09 |
| bazhang | its 32 bit if it worked on both | 09:10 |
| kokoshmusun | x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 09:10 |
| kokoshmusun | isn't that 64-bit | 09:10 |
| kokoshmusun | How come it works on a 32-bit machine? | 09:10 |
| bazhang | then the 32bit machine is 64bit | 09:10 |
| kokoshmusun | ??????????? really.... how can I check that for sure? | 09:10 |
| Sysi | same command and maybe pastebin output of 'lscpu' | 09:11 |
| Sysi | or just see for yourself | 09:11 |

| bazhang | so 64 | 09:12 |
| kokoshmusun | sorry for accidental flood, I don't know what pastebin is. Anyway, it says CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit. | 09:12 |
| kokoshmusun | So all this time, I thought this machine was 32 bit, but it's 64-bit. | 09:13 |
| Sysi | (what ubottu said about pastebin) | 09:13 |
| kokoshmusun | yeah, it takes me to launchpad and stuff. it's okay, I'm not gonna paste anything, thanks for the help. | 09:14 |

| Daniel_Paim | Hello World. How to go to irc of UCK? | 14:18 |
| Sysi | what's UCK? | 14:18 |
| Daniel_Paim | Sysi: Ubuntu Customization Kit | 14:20 |
| Daniel_Paim | I want create Ubuntu witch all instaled for my personal use Sysi | 14:21 |
| Daniel_Paim | *with | 14:21 |
| Daniel_Paim | Xubuntu | 14:21 |
| Sysi | I guess there isn't separate channel for UCK-project and I haven't used it, hang on and see if somebody knows, if not you can try #ubuntu too | 14:24 |
| charlie-tca | !ubuntu-customization-kit | 14:25 |
| Pici | !uck | 14:25 |
| ubottu | uck is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs. See http://uck.sourceforge.net/ | 14:25 |
| charlie-tca | Thank you | 14:25 |
| Daniel_Paim | Pici: Which is better? UCK or remastersys? | 14:27 |
| Pici | Daniel_Paim: Never used either, sorry. | 14:37 |
| Daniel_Paim | anybody used UCK or Remastesys in xubuntu? | 14:37 |
| robothebobo | Hi... am I in the right place for xubuntu help? | 16:09 |
| Sysi | yes | 16:09 |
| robothebobo | Cool. Thanks. | 16:09 |
| robothebobo | Well, here's my thing. I just installed xubuntu on a machine that will be a home server. I have just one user account on it. | 16:10 |
| robothebobo | I mostly access it via SSH, but occasionally VNC in as well. | 16:10 |
| robothebobo | When I open the 'Time and Date' utility from the Xfce menu, it says 'not authorized to make changes' | 16:12 |
| robothebobo | I can open it via the termial with 'sudo time-admin', and then I'm authorized, but just in the GUI, i'm not. | 16:13 |
| charlie-tca | There is a lock in the middle bottom. Click it to enter your sudo password to make changes | 16:13 |
| spacebug- | support for xubuntu 11.10 is that here or in #xubuntu+1 or something? | 16:14 |
| charlie-tca | spacebug-: #ubuntu+1 | 16:14 |
| spacebug- | ok tnx | 16:14 |
| robothebobo | The lock is 'greyed out', and doesn't do anytihng when clicked on. | 16:14 |
| robothebobo | When I mouse over it, it says 'System policy prevents changes. Contact your system administrator'. | 16:14 |
| spacebug- | hehe wow that was empty | 16:15 |
| charlie-tca | I see | 16:15 |
| charlie-tca | spacebug-: #ubuntu+1, not #xubuntu+1 | 16:15 |
| spacebug- | oh | 16:15 |
| spacebug- | tnx | 16:15 |
| robothebobo | I've installed ntpd via apt-get, so functionally it's not a big deal, but it's strange, for an almost out of the box config, isnt' it? | 16:15 |
| charlie-tca | depends on what you did to get "almost" | 16:16 |
| robothebobo | heh | 16:17 |
| robothebobo | basically installed some services. cherokee, dropbox, transmission-daemon, openssh, etc | 16:17 |
| robothebobo | Didn't change any account settings. | 16:17 |
| robothebobo | is there a way to see what groups my account is a member of? Perhaps that is the issue? | 16:21 |
| charlie-tca | The easiest way I found is looking in /etc/groups | 16:30 |
| charlie-tca | but you can look in System -> Users and Groups for a gui, too | 16:31 |
| kalle | Any ideas on how to disable numlock by default in xubuntu natty? | 16:35 |
| kalle | It was disabled by default on my laptop until I connected an external keyboard | 16:36 |
| charlie-tca | numlock is not enabled by default in Xubuntu | 16:36 |
| genii-around | robothebobo: Issuing command: groups also works | 16:36 |
| kalle | I know. But now it is for some reason. | 16:36 |
| kalle | on my system | 16:36 |
| charlie-tca | just disable it on the keyboard, and save the session | 16:36 |
| robothebobo | thanks - will check that. | 16:37 |
| kalle | I'll try that, thanks! | 16:37 |
| charlie-tca | It should then be disabled when yo login. Otherwise, maybe it is enabled in bios? | 16:37 |
| robothebobo | so when I type $groups robothebobo, I get the response: robothebobo : robothebobo adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare | 16:38 |
| robothebobo | does that look normal? | 16:38 |
| charlie-tca | I will look at a default installation, just a minute | 16:40 |
| genii-around | robothebobo: That looks pretty normal, yes | 16:40 |
| kalle | charlie-tca, that woked like a charm, thanks again! | 16:41 |
| charlie-tca | kalle: you are welcome | 16:41 |
| robothebobo | thanks | 16:42 |
| zus | will this "looking glass" run on Xubuntu? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjQ4Nza34ak&feature=related | 17:31 |
| charlie-tca | I would guess it will if you have the correct video drivers installed | 17:34 |
| knome | zus, as the topmost comment says, looking glass is a desktop environment. so that means you would just replace xfce with it. so it should work as much with ubuntu as xubuntu, but it wouldn't be xubuntu anymore | 17:34 |
| zus | but i can still "choose" to log into XFCE, lookingglass, at login screen correct? | 17:35 |
| knome | probably. | 17:35 |
| zus | back in 9.04 when i got into ubuntu the 1 hour demo version of this video is what sold me, only i now i have decided to mess with diferent enviroments. | 17:40 |
| zus | silly question, but is there a way to disable "tapping" on the trackpads for laptops in xubuntu? | 18:00 |
| charlie-tca | Should be able to do that using synaptic touchpad program | 18:02 |
| Myrtti | ugh | 18:03 |
| Myrtti | how many years old is that video... | 18:03 |
| Myrtti | what, five years? | 18:04 |
| zus | the looking glass one Myrtti | 18:04 |
| zus | thanks charlie-tca | 18:04 |
| Myrtti | inactive, made with java | 18:05 |
| Myrtti | does not look good | 18:05 |
| Sysi | half of the compiz stuff is pretty awful, still many people like it | 18:06 |
| zus | i never knew or seen anything like it before 9.04 release. | 18:06 |
| Myrtti | Sysi: compiz is still developed though | 18:06 |
| Sysi | yeah | 18:06 |

| flopato | hey | 20:19 |
| flopato | why does "sudo newgrp" make me root?? | 20:20 |
| Sysi | sudo | 20:20 |
| flopato | yes but not temorary | 20:21 |
| flopato | i am root till i exit | 20:21 |
| Sysi | "man newgrp" | 20:21 |
| Sysi | why did you run that if you don'y know what it does | 20:21 |
| flopato | okay newgrp changes the gid | 20:22 |
| flopato | but why does it change my uid?? | 20:22 |
| flopato | before "sudo newgrp" uid = 1000 after "sudo newgrp" the uid = 0 | 20:23 |
| flopato | newgrp without "sudo" has the expected behavior | 20:24 |
| flopato | it changes my gid | 20:24 |
| flopato | with "sudo" it only changes my uid | 20:24 |
| flopato | no wait: with "sudo" it changes uid and gid to 0 | 20:25 |
| charlie-tca | which is root | 20:26 |
| flopato | yes | 20:26 |
| flopato | so why does newgrp do that? | 20:26 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know, I haven't read man newgrp | 20:26 |
| flopato | there's nothing about that behavior | 20:27 |
| flopato | okay thats weird | 20:29 |
| flopato | i even do not have to enter my userpassword | 20:29 |
| flopato | i type "sudo newgrp" and i am root! | 20:29 |
| knome | it's cached for 5 minutes if you type it once | 20:29 |
| flopato | 5 min? | 20:29 |
| flopato | on my notebook it is much shorter | 20:30 |
| knome | afaik it's 5 minutes. | 20:30 |
| flopato | okay ;) | 20:30 |
| flopato | but did u try what i said before on your machine? | 20:30 |
| knome | no | 20:31 |
| knome | i don't know about newgrp either | 20:31 |
| flopato | i am wondering if this is the normal behavior... | 20:31 |
| flopato | okay | 20:31 |
| knome | you can ask #ubuntu, since this isn't xubuntu specific. they might know the answer | 20:31 |
| flopato | kk | 20:31 |
| flopato | thx | 20:31 |
| flopato | okay got the answer | 20:35 |
| flopato | it is because "newgrp" opens a new terminal....and because "sudo" gives me root-rights temporary, this new shell is opend up with root rights | 20:36 |
| flopato | okay bye have a nice day | 20:39 |
