[00:02] I always use apt-get install or Synaptic Package Manager [00:03] 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. [00:10] 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. === Fenixdeux is now known as exit === mike is now known as Guest44615 [01:57] 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] Using 11.10 Beta 1 [02:20] you shouldnt use that [02:20] :P but if its for beta testing then you should [02:23] hm [02:23] well, too late now. [02:23] Have reported a few bugs though... [02:23] It was working fine before. [02:23] :S [02:26] :D [02:26] report it [02:27] I think it's due to my own error. [02:27] as it was working earlier [02:28] xfce4-power-manager --dump gives: Authorized to suspend: False || Authorized to hibernate: False || Authorized to shutdown: False || Authorized to spin down hard disks: False [02:29] I wonder how I could change this... [02:30] when I run command with sudo, shows as true [02:38] were you messing around w/ login manager stuff? [02:40] dunno [02:40] did nothing of the sort [02:40] but I think It may be linked to failed installing of certain packages [02:40] ie. update manager crashed [02:41] or ubuntu software centre [02:41] then the error reporter crashed =_= [03:26] 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. [09:05] there is no about ubuntu button as in gnome. how do I figure out which version of ubuntu I'm using? [09:05] in terminal: lsb_release [09:06] "No LSB modules are available" [09:06] !version [09:06] 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 » [09:07] "bash: !version: event not found" [09:07] what ubottu said [09:07] !ubottu [09:07] 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] lsb_release -a ---> this works. [09:08] try lsb_release -a <--- in terminal [09:08] heh [09:09] 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] uname -a [09:09] running 32bit is not bad, if you don't have 4GB or more RAM [09:10] its 32 bit if it worked on both [09:10] x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [09:10] isn't that 64-bit [09:10] How come it works on a 32-bit machine? [09:10] then the 32bit machine is 64bit [09:10] ??????????? really.... how can I check that for sure? [09:11] same command and maybe pastebin output of 'lscpu' [09:11] or just see for yourself [09:11] lscpu? [09:11] Architecture: x86_64 [09:11] CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit [09:11] CPU(s): 2 [09:11] Thread(s) per core: 1 [09:11] Core(s) per socket: 2 [09:11] CPU socket(s): 1 [09:11] NUMA node(s): 1 [09:11] Vendor ID: GenuineIntel [09:11] CPU family: 6 [09:11] Model: 15 [09:11] Stepping: 13 [09:11] CPU MHz: 800.000 [09:11] L1d cache: 32K [09:11] L1i cache: 32K [09:12] !pastebin [09:12] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [09:12] so 64 [09:12] sorry for accidental flood, I don't know what pastebin is. Anyway, it says CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit. [09:13] So all this time, I thought this machine was 32 bit, but it's 64-bit. [09:13] (what ubottu said about pastebin) [09:14] yeah, it takes me to launchpad and stuff. it's okay, I'm not gonna paste anything, thanks for the help. [09:18] how to trigger screensaver? I'm listening to a podcast, it's unncessary for the screen to be on === epzil0n is now known as Guest10086 [13:08] ci sono italiani? [14:18] Hello World. How to go to irc of UCK? [14:18] what's UCK? [14:20] Sysi: Ubuntu Customization Kit [14:21] I want create Ubuntu witch all instaled for my personal use Sysi [14:21] *with [14:21] Xubuntu [14:24] 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 [14:25] !ubuntu-customization-kit [14:25] !uck [14:25] 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] Thank you [14:27] Pici: Which is better? UCK or remastersys? [14:37] Daniel_Paim: Never used either, sorry. [14:37] anybody used UCK or Remastesys in xubuntu? [16:09] Hi... am I in the right place for xubuntu help? [16:09] yes [16:09] Cool. Thanks. [16:10] 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] I mostly access it via SSH, but occasionally VNC in as well. [16:12] When I open the 'Time and Date' utility from the Xfce menu, it says 'not authorized to make changes' [16:13] 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] There is a lock in the middle bottom. Click it to enter your sudo password to make changes [16:14] support for xubuntu 11.10 is that here or in #xubuntu+1 or something? [16:14] spacebug-: #ubuntu+1 [16:14] ok tnx [16:14] The lock is 'greyed out', and doesn't do anytihng when clicked on. [16:14] When I mouse over it, it says 'System policy prevents changes. Contact your system administrator'. [16:15] hehe wow that was empty [16:15] I see [16:15] spacebug-: #ubuntu+1, not #xubuntu+1 [16:15] oh [16:15] tnx [16:15] 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? [16:16] depends on what you did to get "almost" [16:17] heh [16:17] basically installed some services. cherokee, dropbox, transmission-daemon, openssh, etc [16:17] Didn't change any account settings. [16:21] is there a way to see what groups my account is a member of? Perhaps that is the issue? [16:30] The easiest way I found is looking in /etc/groups [16:31] but you can look in System -> Users and Groups for a gui, too [16:35] Any ideas on how to disable numlock by default in xubuntu natty? [16:36] It was disabled by default on my laptop until I connected an external keyboard [16:36] numlock is not enabled by default in Xubuntu [16:36] robothebobo: Issuing command: groups also works [16:36] I know. But now it is for some reason. [16:36] on my system [16:36] just disable it on the keyboard, and save the session [16:37] thanks - will check that. [16:37] I'll try that, thanks! [16:37] It should then be disabled when yo login. Otherwise, maybe it is enabled in bios? [16:38] so when I type $groups robothebobo, I get the response: robothebobo : robothebobo adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare [16:38] does that look normal? [16:40] I will look at a default installation, just a minute [16:40] robothebobo: That looks pretty normal, yes [16:41] charlie-tca, that woked like a charm, thanks again! [16:41] kalle: you are welcome [16:42] thanks [17:31] will this "looking glass" run on Xubuntu? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjQ4Nza34ak&feature=related [17:34] I would guess it will if you have the correct video drivers installed [17:34] 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 [17:35] but i can still "choose" to log into XFCE, lookingglass, at login screen correct? [17:35] probably. [17:40] 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. [18:00] silly question, but is there a way to disable "tapping" on the trackpads for laptops in xubuntu? [18:02] Should be able to do that using synaptic touchpad program [18:03] ugh [18:03] how many years old is that video... [18:04] what, five years? [18:04] the looking glass one Myrtti [18:04] thanks charlie-tca [18:05] inactive, made with java [18:05] does not look good [18:06] half of the compiz stuff is pretty awful, still many people like it [18:06] i never knew or seen anything like it before 9.04 release. [18:06] Sysi: compiz is still developed though [18:06] yeah [18:33] hi === zus is now known as notursista === Tuna-Fish2 is now known as essipessi [20:19] hey [20:20] why does "sudo newgrp" make me root?? [20:20] sudo [20:21] yes but not temorary [20:21] i am root till i exit [20:21] "man newgrp" [20:21] why did you run that if you don'y know what it does [20:22] okay newgrp changes the gid [20:22] but why does it change my uid?? [20:23] before "sudo newgrp" uid = 1000 after "sudo newgrp" the uid = 0 [20:24] newgrp without "sudo" has the expected behavior [20:24] it changes my gid [20:24] with "sudo" it only changes my uid [20:25] no wait: with "sudo" it changes uid and gid to 0 [20:26] which is root [20:26] yes [20:26] so why does newgrp do that? [20:26] I don't know, I haven't read man newgrp [20:27] there's nothing about that behavior [20:29] okay thats weird [20:29] i even do not have to enter my userpassword [20:29] i type "sudo newgrp" and i am root! [20:29] it's cached for 5 minutes if you type it once [20:29] 5 min? [20:30] on my notebook it is much shorter [20:30] afaik it's 5 minutes. [20:30] okay ;) [20:30] but did u try what i said before on your machine? [20:31] no [20:31] i don't know about newgrp either [20:31] i am wondering if this is the normal behavior... [20:31] okay [20:31] you can ask #ubuntu, since this isn't xubuntu specific. they might know the answer [20:31] kk [20:31] thx [20:35] okay got the answer [20:36] 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 [20:39] okay bye have a nice day === vito is now known as Guest98365 === Thermi_ is now known as Thermi [21:33] I've just installed Xubuntu oneiric and my login screen is pretty.... dull compared to earlier versions. is that correct or have i borked my system somehow? [21:34] it's normal, there was a change of the login screen manager [21:36] yeah, i've heard. I just find it a bit wierd to make it so dull :) [21:39] lightdm [21:39] maybe they'll improve it at the last minute? [21:40] hope so :) [22:42] how does one save VLC audio settings? [22:42] they seem to get lost on every boot [22:42] :) [22:42] :( [22:43] mmm good question [22:45] knome, >tools >preferences? [22:46] yes, i can change those and save, and it works until i boot the pc [22:46] oh [22:46] i see [22:48] yeah. it's kind of annoying. [22:53] if you come up with a solution, feel free to ping me. i'll be off for today [22:53] :) will do [22:53] see you! [22:53] and you
