| sandra_ | G'evening my fellow Xubuntu inmates :-) | 03:18 |
|---|---|---|
| sandra_ | I hope everyone is doing well tonight | 03:18 |
| sandra_ | I'm new to Linux and Xubuntu and I would like to know if there is a way to incorporate the sound applet found in Ubuntu Oneiric into Xubuntu ? | 03:20 |
| sandra_ | The reason I would like to do this is because I feel Ubuntu Oneiric speaker icon sound applet has a better fit and feel then the current sound speaker icon option found in Xubuntu currently | 03:22 |
| sandra_ | mostly because Xubuntu does not do well my USB headsets. | 03:23 |
| sandra_ | What I'm doing currently is using pulseaudio volume control when using my USB headset. | 03:25 |
| sandra_ | Any help w/my request would be greatly appreciated :-) | 03:25 |
| Shirakawasuna | sandra_: What do you mean by sound applet? The indicator applet used by ubuntu (or maybe a modified version) is included by default in Xubuntu. | 03:48 |
| chanelle | all of my window borders are missing! what do i do? | 03:48 |
| Shirakawasuna | chanelle: xfwm4 --replace & | 03:48 |
| chanelle | woah thank you @ | 03:49 |
| chanelle | that was quick | 03:49 |
| chanelle | cheers | 03:50 |
| Shirakawasuna | sandra_: sorry, I think I misunderstood your question. If you want the oneiric icon, my recommendation is to wait a week for oneiric to come out :). Alternatively you can install the oneiric package for the sound indicator applet, but I'm new to ubuntu myself and don't know which one it is. | 03:50 |
| Shirakawasuna | chanelle: np! | 03:50 |
| chanelle | :) | 03:50 |
| sandra_ | Shirakawasuna: I'm so sorry I am now reading your responce | 04:09 |
| Shirakawasuna | sandra_: lol, don't worry about it | 04:09 |
| Shirakawasuna | IRC is all about 30 minute pauses between responses | 04:10 |
| sandra_ | Shirakawasuna, I'm new to linux and Ubuntu and it's variants too lol | 04:10 |
| sandra_ | Shirakawasuna, But under Ubuntu Oneiric it's sound icon which gives one access to one's music player and sound settings seems to me a bit more intuitive and easy to use for a novice such as myself. | 04:11 |
| Shirakawasuna | sandra_: this is what mine looks like: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_1QSDkzYY2vc/TbqXu8oL_FI/AAAAAAAAENI/47xG3YPsLHA/xubuntu_11.04_musicmenu.png | 04:12 |
| sandra_ | Shirakawasuna, And what I was hoping to do was to hopefully incorporate the sound applet from ubuntu oneiric into Xubuntu so it's not such a challenge to use one's USB headset. | 04:12 |
| Shirakawasuna | sandra_: if you want something like in that screenshot, it's the default for xubuntu. Do you want something different? | 04:13 |
| sandra_ | Shirakawasuna, Yes mine is identical to yours but Ubuntu oneiric is slightly different and choosing one's USB headset under Ubuntu Oneiric is much easier then on the current version of Xubuntu Oneiric. | 04:15 |
| Shirakawasuna | ah | 04:15 |
| sandra_ | Shirakawasuna, right now I have to use a work around that involves using Pulseaudio volume control in order to get my USB headset to work. | 04:16 |
| Shirakawasuna | sandra_: Because it's the oneiric package, it might not work, but this is the package you want: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/indicator-sound | 04:17 |
| sandra_ | Shirakawasuna, Under Ubuntu Oneiric I just simply click on the speaker icon and then slect Sound Preferences and simply select my USB headset and it works.. | 04:17 |
| Shirakawasuna | hmm | 04:18 |
| Shirakawasuna | well you can click the speaker icon, then 'sound preferences' in xubuntu. I don't know if that menu will appear if you update the indicator | 04:18 |
| Shirakawasuna | you might want to update the pulseaudio mixer instead | 04:19 |
| Shirakawasuna | is it the mixer that has the options you want, rather than the indicator pull-down menu (the speaker icon) | 04:19 |
| Shirakawasuna | ? | 04:19 |
| sandra_ | Shirakawasuna, How would I go about updating my pulseaudio mixer ? | 04:20 |
| sandra_ | lol now you know why I would love to incorporate Ubuntu's sound applet if it could be done under Xfce which of course Xubuntu uses. | 04:21 |
| sandra_ | Shirakawasuna, and thank you for your help I truly appreciate it. | 04:21 |
| Shirakawasuna | hmm | 04:22 |
| Shirakawasuna | looks like it's 'xfce4-mixer'. | 04:22 |
| Shirakawasuna | It probably won't be the same as what the main ubuntu mixer does. | 04:22 |
| Shirakawasuna | http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/xfce4-mixer | 04:23 |
| sandra_ | I truly enjoy using Xubuntu it's quick and very responsive but I need to be able to use my USB headset by simpy plugging it in as one does under windows or ubuntu. | 04:23 |
| Shirakawasuna | well, it's probably using something similar to alsamixer | 04:24 |
| Shirakawasuna | if you open a terminal and type 'alsamixer', it might show up | 04:25 |
| Shirakawasuna | 'm' will unmute once the right setting is selected | 04:25 |
| Shirakawasuna | (it toggles mute, so it can also mute things) | 04:25 |
| Shirakawasuna | I would also play around with the xfce mixer, maybe it's just a little different and takes some jiggeirng | 04:28 |
| sandra_ | yes the default mixer currently used in Xubuntu Oneiric is not very functional or user friendly option at this point. | 04:29 |
| sandra_ | No matter what I did I could not get my USB headset to work using Xubuntu mixer that's why I had to download pulseaudio volume control manager w/it my USB headset works but it's a work around at this point. | 04:31 |
| Shirakawasuna | ideally you should be able to launch the mixer, select the appropriate device, go to 'select controls' and see your headset | 04:31 |
| sandra_ | Shirakawasuna, yest I saw my headset in the mixer but no matter what I did sound would not default to my headset. | 04:32 |
| Shirakawasuna | ah | 04:33 |
| Shirakawasuna | I've never done anything with that, sandra_, so I probably won't be much help :/ | 04:33 |
| Shirakawasuna | If I had a headset to test out I'd try it, but I don't | 04:33 |
| sandra_ | good intentions count too :-) | 04:34 |
| sandra_ | Shirakawasuna, it was very nice meeting you . thank you for your help. | 04:42 |
| Shirakawasuna | sandra_: You're welcome. Sorry I couldn't really help much. | 04:42 |
| sandra_ | it's appreciated Shirakawasuna | 04:44 |
| ssargennto | Hello all... anybody having problems with thunar file manager opening slow on the first time and producing two windows about 15 seconds apart? | 06:58 |
| cousin_luigi | hello | 07:02 |
| * cousin_luigi has been trying to use compiz on 11.10 but it crashes very often. Any chance this is just a passing glitch? | 07:03 | |
| raevol | how is oeneric xubuntu looking at the moment? safe to move to it? will be doing a fresh install | 07:08 |
| well_laid_lawn | it's released next week afaik | 07:08 |
| well_laid_lawn | !11.10 | 07:09 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 07:09 |
| raevol | yea, that's why i'm asking how it looks now, usually this late in the game it's pretty stable | 07:09 |
| well_laid_lawn | the folks in the #ubuntu+1 channel should know - I have no idea | 07:09 |
| raevol | k | 07:10 |
| raevol | i guess midnight on a saturday is not the best time to bug people ;) | 07:10 |
| well_laid_lawn | heh ;) | 07:10 |
| Unit193 | About ~6 days now | 07:11 |
| raevol | man i really wish i had asked when oeneric is being released :D i'd have 2 excellent answers | 07:12 |
| cousin_luigi | raevol: xfce desktop is not particularly stable on 11.10 | 07:12 |
| raevol | thanks cousin_luigi | 07:12 |
| cousin_luigi | raevol: but I'm also using compiz on it | 07:13 |
| raevol | ouch :( | 07:13 |
| raevol | what video driver? | 07:13 |
| cousin_luigi | nvidia binary | 07:13 |
| raevol | ok | 07:13 |

| seemawn | hi | 09:26 |
| seemawn | i watched a youtube-video of a tiling wm for xfce | 09:27 |
| seemawn | xfwm-tiling or sth, but this video reffered to the arch aur. Is there also a deb-package of this wm? | 09:27 |
| Sysi | not anything officially packaged, but you can use tiling WMs with xfce | 09:29 |
| Sysi | dunno if there's ppa or build somewhere | 09:29 |
| seemawn | yes i know, but it is nasty to setup. | 09:29 |
| Unit193 | All I know is AwesomeWM | 09:30 |
| Sysi | rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions && $WM --replace and save session on logout | 09:30 |
| seemawn | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAc6vc93jxc | 09:31 |
| seemawn | i meant this | 09:31 |
| Sysi | that's officially coming in 4.10 | 09:32 |
| seemawn | in 4.10 what? | 09:33 |
| seemawn | xfce? | 09:33 |
| Sysi | yes | 09:33 |
| seemawn | ok | 09:33 |
| seemawn | and this is not in 11.10, is it? | 09:33 |
| Sysi | not since it isn't released yet | 09:34 |
| Sysi | I can't find any packages for xfwm4-tiling.. you could ask at #xfce if you don't want to build packages yourself | 09:35 |
| Unit193 | ./ubottu says it's not in oneiric either | 09:37 |
| seemawn | schad.e | 09:38 |
| seemawn | schade. | 09:38 |
| seemawn | ok thx :) | 09:38 |
| seemawn | sry, i must complain. | 10:04 |
| seemawn | or before I do that, I should rather ask for a reason | 10:04 |
| seemawn | why is a menu editor not aviable anymore? | 10:04 |
| seemawn | in xfce | 10:04 |
| Sysi | alacarte works with 4.8 | 10:05 |
| seemawn | okay. | 10:05 |
| Sysi | menu editor was gone already in 4.6, I don't really know why, 4.8 brought menu editing back | 10:05 |
| seemawn | because the wiki entry is possibly wrong | 10:05 |
| seemawn | ~/.cache/xfce4/desktop/menu-cache--home-user-.config-xfce4-desktop-menu.xml | 10:07 |
| seemawn | this file is missing | 10:07 |
| seemawn | there is not an xfce4-dir in my .cache. | 10:07 |
| seemawn | but this environment variable is set | 10:07 |
| seemawn | but where? | 10:07 |
| Sysi | I guess you're looking page for 4.6, in 4.8 you edit .desktop files | 10:09 |
| Sysi | though you can edit some file too.. I can't remember what | 10:09 |
| Sysi | default ones are in /etc/xdg/menus/ you should copy them to your home before editing | 10:12 |
| Sysi | .desktop files in /usr/share/applications place them in ~/.local/share/applications add NoDisplay=true if you want | 10:13 |
| Sysi | http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu | 10:18 |
| === psycho_oreos is now known as hatake_kakashi | ||
| seemawn | Sysi: thank you! alacarte worked for me. | 10:24 |
| seemawn | sth different | 10:25 |
| seemawn | ubuntu one costs 2,99 per month for 20 gigs | 10:25 |
| seemawn | dollars | 10:25 |
| seemawn | does anyone know the euro-price? | 10:26 |
| seemawn | anyway compared to db, this is a good price | 10:26 |
| mossaiby | Any xubuntu developers here? | 10:40 |
| mossaiby | Need some help with xubuntu 11.10 beta 2 | 10:41 |
| TheSheep | why do you need help from developers? | 10:41 |
| TheSheep | users should be enough | 10:41 |
| mossaiby | I do not think so ;) | 10:42 |
| TheSheep | try anyways | 10:42 |
| mossaiby | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/863873 | 10:42 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 863873 in linux (Ubuntu) "xubuntu 11.10 beta2 kernel boot problem" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 10:42 |
| mossaiby | yeah | 10:42 |
| TheSheep | well, there are already people commenting on that bug | 10:43 |
| mossaiby | me, and an automated script... no real help | 10:44 |
| knome | it's not the xubuntu developers who can help you with that, but the canonical/ubuntu kernel team | 10:44 |
| mossaiby | hmmm | 10:45 |
| mossaiby | I have no problem with ubuntu 11.10 kernel... | 10:45 |
| TheSheep | mossaiby: bugging people on irc will not make it better though, I guess | 10:45 |
| mossaiby | so this should be an xubuntu thing | 10:45 |
| knome | xubuntu does not have a different kernel. | 10:46 |
| TheSheep | mossaiby: do you think you could snap a photo of the screen with a cellphone, for example? | 10:46 |
| mossaiby | it restarts very quickly, but I will do my best | 10:46 |
| Sysi | isn't beta2 image quite old, grab daily | 10:46 |
| mossaiby | also will try daily | 10:47 |
| mossaiby | I am on the same computer... need some time to do that! | 10:47 |
| Sysi | btw I'd use usb-sticks, burning can cause problems | 10:47 |
| mossaiby | I use grub to boot off the ISO image. It worked so far for other things | 10:48 |
| Sysi | that sounds good too | 10:48 |
| mossaiby | hmmm looking at the history, I have tried with a daily build after the beta2 too | 10:51 |
| mossaiby | but I am again updating to the latest | 10:51 |
| mossaiby | A simple question! Does daily only have "alternate" image??? I can't seem to find the .zsync file anymore | 10:53 |
| Sysi | daily-live is live | 10:54 |
| Sysi | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/current/ | 10:54 |
| mossaiby | lots of thanks | 10:55 |

| GridCube | and for somereason when i launch applications xorg dies, bad | 16:48 |
| GridCube | i cant even alt-f2 to anything | 16:49 |
| GridCube | or go to a tty | 16:49 |
| GridCube | i now rebooted an i'm using irssi | 16:49 |
| GridCube | but im afraid of launching anything again | 16:49 |
| m6locks | what does it say when it dies | 16:49 |
| GridCube | nothing | 16:50 |
| GridCube | it just goes black | 16:50 |
| m6locks | umm, you can't get to a shell after that? | 16:50 |
| GridCube | nope | 16:51 |
| m6locks | try ctrl-alt-f2 | 16:52 |
| m6locks | for a different tty | 16:52 |
| GridCube | im using several ttys now | 16:53 |
| GridCube | i haven launched xubuntu yet | 16:53 |
| m6locks | then you can check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what happens with it | 16:54 |
| m6locks | well go for it | 16:54 |
| GridCube | http://paste.ubuntu.com/704525/ | 16:55 |
| m6locks | there seem to be no errors yet, did it crash? | 16:57 |
| m6locks | i mean pasting it after the crash | 16:57 |
| GridCube | it went completely black i couldnt keep using it | 16:57 |
| m6locks | do it again, press ctrl-alt-f2 to get to different tty, pastebin the error using lynx/links/pastebinit | 16:58 |
| GridCube | will try | 16:59 |
| GridCube | but it will most probably dont allow me to crtl-alt-f2 like last time | 16:59 |
| m6locks | you said you tried alt-f2 | 17:00 |
| m6locks | but whatever, try again :) | 17:00 |
| GridCube | it happened again | 17:16 |
| GridCube | i was using the system until i launched firefox | 17:17 |
| GridCube | then it DIED | 17:17 |
| m6locks | did you get to another shell/tty? | 17:18 |
| GridCube | noo | 17:18 |
| GridCube | well this time it showed me tty1 and a mouse cursor | 17:18 |
| GridCube | but i couldnt use it | 17:19 |
| GridCube | and couldnt change | 17:19 |
| GridCube | and the keyboard light didnt turn on/off | 17:19 |
| m6locks | hmm you got to change to another tty? | 17:19 |
| GridCube | it was absolutelly and defenitevily DEAD | 17:20 |
| m6locks | did you try all of them | 17:20 |
| m6locks | ok | 17:20 |
| m6locks | seems like its a hardware issue | 17:20 |
| GridCube | yeah im kinda figuring that too | 17:20 |
| GridCube | :/ | 17:20 |
| m6locks | the processor gets overloaded and the whole system dies | 17:20 |
| m6locks | or somwething | 17:20 |
| Sysi | or just driver hangs | 17:26 |
| Sysi | what graphics? | 17:26 |
| Sysi | does livecd work | 17:26 |
| GridCube | i do not have a live cd | 17:35 |
| GridCube | well gonna reboot and see what happens after creating a xorg.conf | 17:35 |
| GridCube | that didnt work | 17:41 |
| GridCube | i can't remember how to configure xorg from a tty | 17:42 |

| charlie-tca | !helpme | 18:25 |
| ubottu | Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 18:25 |
| charlie-tca | oh, nope | 18:25 |
| charlie-tca | YodaRULZ: please ask your question, all on one line if possible, and if someone knows the answer, they will tell you. | 18:26 |
| charlie-tca | No one here seems to answer questions that are not asked, and all problems have details. | 18:26 |
| rootbeer | Whenever I run a program, the top of the window containing the close, minimize, and restore buttons is missing. Also, the program wont show up in the taskbar. | 18:32 |
| rootbeer | Does anyone know how to resolve this? | 18:32 |
| charlie-tca | Press Alt+F2, xfwm4 | 18:33 |
| YodaRULZ | After several minutes, I cannot enter anything into text input boxes other than in my browser. I have tried restarting and it didn't help. | 18:37 |
| Shirakawasuna | have you tried closing the browser and making sure the process is truly dead? (ps aux | grep firefox) | 18:39 |
| YodaRULZ | Thats not the problem | 18:41 |
| YodaRULZ | I cant enter anywhere BUT in my browser | 18:41 |
| YodaRULZ | Thats how I'm on this irc channel. | 18:41 |

| sandra_ | Hello my fellow Xubuntu inmates :-) | 20:03 |
| sandra_ | I hope everyone is doing well today. | 20:04 |
| zenrox | i am fine | 20:04 |
| sandra_ | zenrox, Glad to hear it | 20:05 |
| sandra_ | I was hoping someone here who has a talent for tinkering and mix & matching could give me a hand. | 20:06 |
| zenrox | mix and matching what | 20:07 |
| sandra_ | What I would like to do is incorporate Ubuntu Oneiric speaker icon applet into Xubuntu so I can readily use my USB headset in Xubuntu w/out resorting to the work around I'm currently using in order to use my USB headset. | 20:08 |
| sandra_ | I know this can be done because I went to distrowatch.com and downloaded PC/OS which is based on Xubuntu and has same sound preference interface that Ubuntu uses and of course my USB headset worked w/out a hitch. | 20:09 |
| charlie-tca | Then just install what they use for the mixer? | 20:10 |
| sandra_ | zenrox, I'd like to do the same in Xubuntu Oneiric if I could . | 20:10 |
| sandra_ | I figure if the creator of PC/OS could do it why not Xubuntu ? | 20:11 |
| charlie-tca | because Xubuntu doesn't want to pull in the gnome dependencies it uses? | 20:12 |
| zenrox | what about xfce-xfapplet-plugin it will allow you to run gnome applets in the xfce4 tackbar | 20:13 |
| sandra_ | charlie-tca, why not pull it in ? as it stands something as basic and needed as USB headset support is a must have. | 20:13 |
| charlie-tca | As a user, why can't you just install their "mixer" to replace xfce4-mixer? | 20:13 |
| sandra_ | charlie-tca, I'm new to linux on the whole if someone told me a few months ago that I would be mix and matching OS components I would of laughed in total unbelief lol | 20:14 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu strives to remain as lightweight as it can, any added gnome dependencies must be carefully considered. | 20:14 |
| sandra_ | I know my dearly departed husband who was a programer wouldn't of believed it lol | 20:14 |
| charlie-tca | But not so new as to not have found that Ubuntu and PC/OS use the same things? | 20:15 |
| sandra_ | charlie-tca, I work as a project manager so I'm use to researching things I'm not familiar with lol | 20:16 |
| sandra_ | in order to gain a better understanding of any solution on the whole so to speak. | 20:16 |
| sandra_ | charlie-tca, btw PC/OS ran extremely fast on my HP-HDX-18-Laptop | 20:17 |
| charlie-tca | I do not know the name of the app they are using, but it would seem easy to install if known. Just open a terminal, type 'sudo apt-get install ???' without the quotes | 20:18 |
| sandra_ | charlie-tca, So I don't believe using Ubuntu's sound preference menu would slow things down | 20:18 |
| charlie-tca | The question is how much it would slow down for most users of Xubuntu. That's why we let individuals install the things they want. We give you what we consider the best fit for the distribution. | 20:19 |
| sandra_ | it just strikes me as odd that I can't use my USB headset as my default sound unit under the current Xubuntu Oneiric system. | 20:19 |
| sandra_ | I had to install Pulseaudio Volume Control in order to use my USB headset as a work around. | 20:21 |
| sandra_ | charlie-tca, is there a way I can find out what sound mixer program Ubuntu Oneiric or PC/OS is using ? | 20:22 |
| charlie-tca | Ask in #ubuntu+1, where the Ubuntu Oceiric users are? | 20:22 |
| charlie-tca | I don't use Ubuntu, and don't have it installed here to try and find it | 20:23 |
| sandra_ | I ran PC/OS off a live USB key w/out loading it on my hard drive in order find out what I did so far. | 20:25 |
| sandra_ | charlie-tca, that IRC addy that you were kind enough to provide me with is it on the freenode server too ? | 20:25 |
| sandra__ | charlie-tca, perhaps you know of way using the current Xfce mixer to work and allow one's USB headset to be the default sound source ? | 20:35 |
| sandra__ | perhaps anyone who isn't greyed out on the user list have a answer ? thanks. | 20:36 |
| well_laid_lawn | there should be a conf file for the mixer in ~/.config | 20:36 |
| well_laid_lawn | iirc | 20:37 |
| sandra__ | well_laid_lawn, I am new to linux and Xubuntu and I'm eager to learn . How would I find this file ? | 20:40 |
| sandra__ | My original thought was to perhaps pull in Ubuntu Oneiric sound preferences program and use it since it works far better then what Xubuntu is currently using when it comes to using one's USB headset. | 20:41 |
| well_laid_lawn | it'll be in .config/xfce4 | 20:42 |
| sandra__ | well_laid_lawn, I saw this was possible based on a Xfce distro called PC/OS which I saw on www.distrowatch.com | 20:42 |
| well_laid_lawn | it's an xml file | 20:43 |
| sandra__ | well_laid_lawn, is that file under for example etc or usr or share folder ? | 20:44 |
| sandra__ | it's too bad that the sound preferences option under Xubuntu can't simply handle a simple USB headset option the mixer see's it but can't default sound to it. | 20:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | the ~ in ~/.config means your home dir | 20:45 |

| andres-kain | ubuntuone in xubuntu... is it ok? | 21:12 |
| zenrox | yes | 21:13 |
| charlie-tca | You can try, you probably will need some help from #ubuntuone if you don't want to install nautilus and a bunch of gnome | 21:13 |
| charlie-tca | zenrox: you have it working? | 21:13 |
| zenrox | i was working | 21:14 |
| zenrox | it | 21:14 |
| zenrox | till oneiric fliped out | 21:15 |
| zenrox | but it works in natty | 21:15 |
| zenrox | yes i still had to install all the gnome shit | 21:15 |
| charlie-tca | Oh, okay | 21:15 |
| zenrox | but it works | 21:15 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 21:15 |
| charlie-tca | almost better to install Ubuntu and use ubuntuone, it works. | 21:16 |
| zenrox | nicer to just install bits and peices | 21:16 |
| zenrox | lol | 21:16 |
| charlie-tca | Dropbox works well with Xubuntu, though. I did the cli dropbox install, and it is still working | 21:16 |
| zenrox | i have dropbox too | 21:16 |
| zenrox | that was easy | 21:16 |
| charlie-tca | +1 | 21:17 |
| charlie-tca | I got ubuntuone to work in maverick, without the gnome stuff, but it failed in natty for me | 21:17 |
| zenrox | something was different might have to modify what you did | 21:18 |
| GridCube | oh well things work now | 21:20 |
| GridCube | I had to replace lightdm whit gdm | 21:20 |
| GridCube | :/ | 21:20 |
| charlie-tca | zenrox: fought with it for about 4 months, then stopped paying my money and went to dropbox | 21:21 |
| charlie-tca | The response from ubuntuone folks was "it should work"... | 21:22 |
| zenrox | hmm | 21:22 |
| zenrox | cause thay expect you to install all the gnome shit | 21:22 |
| charlie-tca | which, of course, I figured out before they said it | 21:22 |
| zenrox | lol | 21:22 |
| charlie-tca | it's okay, dropbox hasn't refused any payments either. | 21:23 |
| charlie-tca | I just prefer giving money where things work for me :) | 21:23 |
| zenrox | ya agreed | 21:24 |
| dieterd_ | Hi, what's wrong with initrd.img created by update from xubuntu 10.04.2 to 10.04.3. Since then I have grub error 18. Any ideas for repair? Grub repair and reinstall can't solve this. | 22:08 |
| === NintyNineZulu is now known as XubuntuKris | ||
| charlie-tca | dieterd_: do you have grub installed to a partition or mbr? | 22:19 |
| charlie-tca | well, alrighty then. | 22:24 |
| zenrox | tipical | 22:27 |
| charlie-tca | Heh, they did wait until I responded, at least | 22:32 |
| zenrox | got to give them that much credit | 22:43 |
| csenger41 | hey everyone :) | 23:07 |
