| cjs | Unit193: Grr. Both of those insist on showing you the names of all the users on the system. | 07:47 |
| Unit193 | cjs: Those are default, you can always go with Slim, LXDM or others (You also might be able to disable that listing) | 07:48 |
| TheSheep | cjs: afair you can disable the listing of names | 07:49 |
| cjs | Not in gdm on 11.10. (You could on 11.04. Not on 10.10. Yes on 10.04. And so on. See, "Why I am trying to stop using gnome.") | 07:50 |
| cjs | Maybe I'm wrong about lightdm, though. | 07:50 |
| cjs | But my freaking lightdm is very unhappy, it just keeps blinking the text screen into graphics mode and back again. This is on a lubuntu install where I've done an "aptitude install xubuntu-desktop". gdm worked ok, as did lxdm (aside from bugs in lxdm itself that won't let it start my desktop). | 07:52 |
| Unit193 | Edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf greeter-hide-users=true allow-guest=false (Note that I am not on Oneiric to check) | 07:52 |
| cjs | As I recall, last time I did that, hiding the guest login worked, but hiding users did not. | 07:55 |
| cjs | Hey, Xubuntu has the best panel clock so far! :-) | 07:58 |
| cjs | Hm. So someone here just asked me why I use a session manager, and I just realized..... | 08:05 |
| cjs | ...to use the "guest login" switching functionality from the standard Ubuntu Gnome desktop. But Xfce doesn't have this? | 08:07 |
| cjs | No way to do that in XUbuntu? | 08:13 |
| cjs | Maybe I really don't need the whole Xfce environment, just the panel. What else might I lose by not using the full Xfce environment, if I don't need a file manager or other pointy-clicky-stuff? Anything related to communications between programs and so on? | 08:23 |
| cjs | Hm. Looks like I lose suspend and hibernate. | 08:23 |
| reon | cjs, you could always go with openbox + tint2 panel. Crunchbang has a nice logout, reboot, shutdown, suspend, hibernate dialog you could copy. You can also implement those features via key bindings. | 08:43 |
| cjs | I thought that Openbox was a window manager. | 08:45 |
| reon | cjs, yes it. | 08:46 |
| cjs | But I already have a window manager (fvwm). | 08:47 |
| cjs | It seems to be the session mananger that lets you invoke suspend or hibernate, though. Or something that was missing when I booted up with a straight fvwm environment rather than fvwm over Gnome or Xfce. | 08:48 |
| cjs | (And Ubuntu seems to have no interest in fixing that you can no longer do it from the command line using pmi. That's been broken for ages.) | 08:48 |
| reon | cjs, from your described needs it sonds like you could ditch xfce entirely. Or install openbox, tint2 etc to test and change your session at loging to openbox. It does require some manual configing though. | 08:49 |
| reon | cjs, sorry, I see now you are using fvwm | 08:50 |
| reon | so why do you need xubuntu? | 08:50 |
| cjs | reon: That's my question! :-) | 08:52 |
| cjs | I definitely need a panel. Oh, notifications would be nice, too. | 08:53 |
| reon | cjs, I had the exact same problem with lightdm yuo are having switching between text&gfx | 08:53 |
| reon | got it fixed though | 08:54 |
| cjs | I have the feeling that just logging in to a slightly customized Xfce session (with the desktop manager and file manager removed, and the window manager replaced with fvwm) is probably the easiest way to have "modern" stuff work nicely. That's what I was doing with the Gnome environment, until Gnome kicked me in the butt one too many times. | 08:55 |
| cjs | reon: How did you fix it? | 08:55 |
| reon | sudo apt-get remove --purge xubuntu-desktop lightdm | 08:56 |
| reon | then I manually deleted all the lightdm config folder, deleted my xfce config folder | 08:57 |
| reon | followed by sudo apt-get install --reinstall xubuntu-desktop | 08:57 |
| reon | sorry I also removed purged xubuntu-default-settings with the other stuff | 08:58 |
| reon | lastly I --reinstalled xubuntu-default-settings | 08:59 |
| reon | it worked after that. Just check the lightdm config file is not using the unity greeter but the gtk one instead and the session must be xubuntu | 08:59 |
| reon | it was a ball ache though as it only worked in a specific sequeence | 09:00 |
| cjs | Hm. Wow. | 09:00 |
| cjs | Well, I just did something kinda like that, and it seemed to work. | 09:01 |
| cjs | Funny, my lightdm/lightdm.conf says greeter-session=unity-greeter, though. | 09:02 |
| cjs | Unit193: What section of lightdm.conf does the greeter-hide-users=true allow-guest=false stuff go in to? | 09:02 |
| cjs | [SeatDefaults]? | 09:03 |
| reon | cjs, mine did the same. did you install from a Ubuntu cd? | 09:03 |
| cjs | I originally installed from the lubuntu CD. | 09:03 |
| reon | cjs, yes I think so but rather check google than taking my word for it, I don't have those options configured. | 09:03 |
| Unit193 | cjs: [SeatDefaults] | 09:04 |
| Unit193 | Bug #836395 | 09:05 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 836395 in Unity Greeter "greeter-hide-users has no effect" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/836395 | 09:05 |
| Unit193 | cjs: You can try changing greeters and see if it's an error there | 09:05 |
| cjs | Huh! The greeter-hide-user thing worked. I must have been using hide-users or something silly last time. | 09:07 |
| cjs | Though I could have sworn it didn't work for me a second ago. | 09:08 |
| alecv | hallo | 09:09 |
| cjs | Is it worth recording my experiences and my lightdm.conf in that bug report, do you think? | 09:10 |
| cjs | Oh, never mind; it was fixed. | 09:10 |
| alecv | any people on #xubuntu-it ? | 09:11 |
| reon | cjs, do you have a panel/bar at the top of your login screen with two little icons on the right, the one handles shutdownetc? | 09:11 |
| reon | shutdown etc? | 09:11 |
| Unit193 | alecv: Doesn't look like it. If you don't know English, you can ask in #ubuntu-it | 09:12 |
| cjs | reon: I think so. Let me log out and check. | 09:13 |
| cjs | reon: I have hostname at the left, and at the right accessibility options menu / sound / battery / clock / power. | 09:14 |
| cjs | Does that mean I'm using the unity greeter session? I've not actually heard of a greeter session before. | 09:14 |
| reon | cjs, huh? is that on the login screen? let me try and get a screenshot of mine | 09:15 |
| cjs | Is the "Xfce Session" (that you select from the drop-down when you log in) different from the "Xubuntu Session"? Both look the same, from looking at the /usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop files. | 09:16 |
| alecv | Unit193, the channel is by invitation, I wanted to know if any user is present in the channel to invite | 09:16 |
| cjs | Uh oh. I have to get going soon. | 09:17 |
| reon | cjs, yes | 09:17 |
| reon | it's different | 09:17 |
| cjs | Hm. I do get a different background. How does that work? | 09:18 |
| cjs | Something set in the environment? | 09:18 |
| Unit193 | alecv: I joined the Xubuntu one just fine, seems you need to be registered with NickServ | 09:18 |
| reon | cjs, I think if you pick xfce session it overwrites your configs | 09:18 |
| Unit193 | alecv: Ah, you are there | 09:18 |
| reon | cjs, login background? | 09:20 |
| reon | cjs, see http://ompldr.org/vYXYyNA/lightdm2.png for what mine looks like | 09:21 |
| reon | cjs, you can test your lightdm with: lightdm --test-mode -c /etc/light/lightdm.conf | 09:22 |
| cjs | reon: My login screen looks nothing like that, except for the two icons on the right of the bar on top. Are you running Ubuntu 11.10? | 09:23 |
| reon | cjs, I did a cli/base install from the Ubuntu 11.10 alternate cd, I then installed xubuntu-destop etc via the repos | 09:24 |
| cjs | That's exactly what I did, except using the lubuntu alternate CD. | 09:25 |
| reon | cjs, run that command I just gave you, make a screenshot of the window it pops up and upload it to ompldr | 09:25 |
| reon | cjs, it should look the same | 09:26 |
| Unit193 | reon has the default for Xubuntu 11.10 | 09:26 |
| cjs | http://ompldr.org/vYXYyYg | 09:27 |
| reon | cjs, thats the default ubuntu login screen | 09:27 |
| cjs | Yup. | 09:28 |
| reon | what is all the stuff you installed after the base install? | 09:28 |
| cjs | Base, then xubuntu-desktop, then ubuntu-desktop. Ah! I bet it's that last one that did it, right? | 09:29 |
| reon | yes, that last one would have done it ;) | 09:29 |
| cjs | Why does my network manager give me "device not managed" for wireless networks? | 09:29 |
| cjs | Is it because I installed using WiFi? | 09:30 |
| cjs | I notice it's an eth1, rather than a wlan1. | 09:30 |
| reon | cjs, also had that problem but with my wired connection | 09:30 |
| cjs | Oh wow. | 09:30 |
| reon | I had to wipe the contents of the /etc/networks(?) file so it's clear of any crap and reboot and then configure network manager again | 09:32 |
| cjs | Anyway, I really, really need to head out. I'll probably be back in, oh, 16 hours or so. | 09:32 |
| reon | cheers | 09:32 |
| cjs | Oh! Doh. Right. The installer left /etc/network/interfaces configuring the interface, so of course NetworkManager is going to ignore it. | 09:34 |
| cjs | reon: Thanks for all your help! It was quite useful. Cheers. | 09:34 |
| reon | no problemo | 09:35 |
| reon | cjs, I also bump my head on the network config file, was pulling my hair out | 09:35 |
| Unit193 | You should be able to clear, than restart service (Worked here, but I switched TO the file) | 09:36 |
| reon | I must say I like this irc channel, it's nice and quiet compared to others I've been on and they made me hate irc | 09:37 |
| reon | Unit193, yes that should also work but I could not remember the command so I rebooted :D | 09:37 |
| Unit193 | sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart (or sudo service networking restart) This channel is more quiet, but can be bad for support :/ | 09:38 |
| Unit193 | *at times | 09:39 |

| knome | removing ubuntu-desktop will only remove the metapackage | 10:53 |
| buzz_ | note i also did --purge to remove the configs for them also when switching from ubuntu to xubuntu | 10:56 |
| buzz_ | and i had to remove the lightdm.conf or so, as it was referencing removed ubuntu greeter stuff | 10:58 |
| rostayob | knome: thanks | 11:07 |
| knome | np | 11:08 |
| rostayob | I get this when pasting that long uninstall list: | 11:09 |

| rostayob | openjdk-6-jre but it is not going to be installed or | 11:09 |
| rostayob | sun-java6-jre but it is not installable | 11:09 |
| rostayob | but non of the packages is in that list | 11:09 |
| buzz_ | i think i had that and i removed the java stuff manually with aptitude or something | 11:10 |
| buzz_ | then it worked | 11:10 |
| rostayob | buzz_: yep, I'm doing that now | 11:11 |
| rostayob | I hope that this won't break too much stuff eheh | 11:11 |
| reon | rostayob, If you are worried about accidentally removing stuff you need just do a sudo apt-get install --reinstall xubuntu-desktop | 11:14 |
| reon | followed by sudo apt-get install --reinstall xubuntu-default-settings | 11:14 |
| rostayob | reon: yeah | 11:14 |
| buzz_ | rostayob, note the lightdm.conf comment /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf - you might need to remove it/move it in case you dont get a login manager | 11:15 |
| rostayob | buzz_: all right I'll check that | 11:16 |
| rostayob | I predict a spike of xfce installations anyway, now that it's only Unity and GNOME 3 | 11:18 |
| anichols | Is anyone else having severe trouble resixing windows in xbuntu 11.10? I swear the window resizing margins are razor thin, no matter what theme I've tried...even went on askubuntu.com and tried tinkering with a few of their ideas...no dice. :( | 11:58 |
| Sysi | change theme in window manager settings or use alt+right click | 11:59 |
| anichols | Despite the <distance name="foo_width" being set to at least 4, it's got to be only a pixel wide.... | 11:59 |
| anichols | Sysi: I've tried multiple themes....even tried poritng Clearlooks from 11.04 (which had no such issue) into 11.10....that failed to help. | 12:00 |
| anichols | Sysi: And doing alt+right click all the time is a bit clumsy, I should just be able to grab the edge of a window and move it as I see fit, right? | 12:00 |
| ablomen | anichols, are you sure you changed the theme in the "Window Manager" section like Sysi said? There are lot's of theme's there with bigger borders | 12:02 |
| ablomen | so not the Appearance section | 12:02 |
| anichols | ablomen: ....you'd think changing theme in Appearance would change it in Window Manager.... *sighs* | 12:04 |
| anichols | ablomen: Why do they have to have you change it in two places? Grr...one sec... | 12:04 |
| Sysi | because they use different theming | 12:04 |
| anichols | Got it! Thank you to Sysi AND ablomen for the tip. ^.^ | 12:04 |
| knome | different theming, and semantically also completely different thing | 12:05 |
| Sysi | it's kinda stupid but well, logical | 12:05 |
| knome | Sysi, there's a new feature coming in | 12:05 |
| anichols | Now I have the bonus of having my normal buttons back as well... *makes a note to put in a script that allows me to change the appearance in both Window Manager and Appearance at the same time. | 12:05 |
| knome | Sysi, configuration "sets" | 12:06 |
| knome | Sysi, you will have some default sets, and you can create your own too | 12:06 |
| Sysi | sounds interesting | 12:06 |
| anichols | I don't suppose any of you would happen to know of a good guide on creating your own themes? I've been thinking of trying to get xubuntu to look like the ancient computer system in Stargate Atlantis for awhile now, but it's never really felt in my reach to actually get it put together properly. | 12:07 |
| knome | anichols, there aren't good guides that cover everything, and some bits you will only have to learn from other themes or so | 12:09 |
| Sysi | it's a bit of work, and currently you need to make gtk3 inaddition to gtk2 | 12:09 |
| anichols | So, not a good time to start experimenting, then? | 12:09 |
| knome | probably not | 12:10 |
| anichols | Thank you for the honesty, and for all the advice. It's appreciated. ^.^ | 12:10 |

| tjpoe | does xubuntu 11.10 support dual monitors? | 16:14 |
| tjpoe | when I hook up the 2nd monitor, it just does mirroring and I can't figure out how to change to side by side monitors | 16:14 |
| AlexFromBelgium | Do you have a nvidia graphics card? else you should use the nvidia utility.. | 16:15 |
| AlexFromBelgium | Menu -> Settings ->Display? | 16:15 |
| tjpoe | no nvidia, just intel, and dual support works fine in ubuntu | 16:16 |
| tjpoe | menu -> settings -> display just controls whether or not the display is on, and the resolution for both | 16:16 |
| AlexFromBelgium | Wait I'm hooking up my 2nd monitor ^ | 16:16 |
| tjpoe | there is no option "mirror displays" or anything that I can uncheck. | 16:17 |
| Myrtti | arandr or xrandr | 16:18 |
| Myrtti | or even grandr | 16:18 |
| tjpoe | here is output of xrandr: http://pastebin.com/BuZEG6LG | 16:20 |
| tjpoe | in the panel settings there are options to "span the panel to multiple monitors" so it looks like it is supported, i just can't find the config for it. | 16:28 |
| reon | Go to panel preferences, Output: Automatic, tick "Span monitors" box | 16:29 |
| tjpoe | done, it doesn't change anything | 16:29 |
| reon | tjpoe, works here | 16:30 |
| tjpoe | reon, did you have side by side displays to start? or mirrored? | 16:31 |
| reon | using nvidia twinview | 16:31 |
| tjpoe | i'm using intel, so no restricted drivers | 16:32 |
| reon | tjoe, sorry no idea then. | 16:33 |

| metap0d | Hi everyone, i'm new to xubuntu and wondering how to install the java ee JDK and netbeans? neither appears in the synaptic repo's | 18:02 |
| MikeChelen | does partner source need to be enabled? | 18:02 |
| MikeChelen | metap0d: enable partner repo | 18:02 |
| aboudreault | no | 18:02 |
| Sysi | metap0d: did you refresh package lists | 18:03 |
| aboudreault | MikeChelen, oneiric is very new... so it might be possible that the packages of partners are not available yet | 18:03 |
| metap0d | MikeChelen: How would one go about doing that? | 18:04 |
| MikeChelen | aboudreault: ah ok, probably openjdk will work but it was confusing | 18:04 |
| MikeChelen | metap0d: open software sources and look at "other" tab | 18:04 |
| MikeChelen | metap0d: what version xubuntu? | 18:05 |
| metap0d | MikeChelen: The newest version, 11.10 | 18:05 |
| MikeChelen | metap0d: it seems there might not be sun java packages for this version yet | 18:05 |
| MikeChelen | metap0d: try this http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html | 18:06 |
| MikeChelen | look for section about java | 18:07 |
| MikeChelen | aboudreault: it looks like the sun java packages have been intentionally removed due to licensing issues | 18:09 |
| aboudreault | MikeChelen, ha.. it's possible. (/me pisses on Oracle) thanks for the info. | 18:11 |
| MikeChelen | aboudreault: hehe yep, the license has always been an issue, maybe now openjdk is a reasonable alternative | 18:12 |
| aboudreault | MikeChelen, I've always used Openjdk and I've never found any critical issue. | 18:13 |

| xubuntu695 | anyone here? | 18:32 |
| xubuntu695 | .. | 18:33 |
| reon | Anyone here a ex gnome2 user that misses the Global Menu on the panel? | 18:45 |
| zus | would ubuntu 1 work with xubuntu? | 18:47 |
| incorrect | reon, nope | 18:47 |
| reon | well if you know of anybody point them here http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/how-to-enable-ubuntus-global-menu-in-xubuntu-11-10/ | 18:48 |
| incorrect | aslong it doesn't get hidden that is great | 18:50 |
| incorrect | more screen real estate | 18:50 |
| incorrect | i hated them hiding the menu from me | 18:50 |
| reon | zus, just use dropbox, many people seem to prefer it to u1 | 18:51 |
| Myrtti | ubuntu one does work in xubuntu | 18:51 |
| zus | i do, but i also have an ubuntu 1 account from back in the day.... | 18:51 |
| zus | reon, ^ | 18:52 |
| zus | Myrtti, thanks | 18:52 |
| Myrtti | nautilus integration obviously doesnt, but is that a problem | 18:52 |
| reon | zus http://askubuntu.com/questions/15710/ubuntu-one-for-xfce | 18:52 |
| zus | reon, shiny thanks | 18:52 |
| reon | no problemo ;) | 18:53 |
| zus | Myrtti, hmmm dunno, still yet to install it....not a big fan of nautilus really | 18:53 |
| lorin` | ugh, seems like a serious lack of themes that play nice with 11.10. any recommendations aside from greybird? | 18:54 |
| Unit193 | You do not have to install Nautilus, I didn't | 18:54 |
| reon | zus, that link says you dont need nautilus for u1 | 18:54 |
| zus | although that brings me to a question on thunar....can i display how big a folder is or how many items under a folder like in nautilus? | 18:54 |
| beardygnome | lorin`: I think greybird is the only supported theme | 18:55 |
| reon | zus, yes mine shows that info | 18:55 |
| zus | i didnt find how to enable it in the prefrences,... | 18:56 |
| reon | mine shows it by default | 18:56 |
| zacarias | Do you know how can we activate the 3rd level with a specific key, or define the alt, win, etc. behaviour, on the keyboard on Xubuntu 11.04? I don't see ehe options in the keyboard settings | 18:56 |
| lorin` | beardygnome: thanks. well it is a nice theme, so could be worse | 18:56 |
| zus | reon, i only have the folder names under it.. | 18:57 |
| reon | zus, View-->Statusbar | 18:58 |
| zus | the status bar somehow doesnt seem as approximate. | 19:00 |
| reon | I don't understand? | 19:00 |
| melter | anyone know why my window borders in 11.10 would disappear? | 19:01 |
| zus | i want to know how many items are in a folder, which nautilus displays under the folder name | 19:01 |
| zus | can thunar do this? | 19:01 |
| reon | melter, in a terminal type "xfwm4 &". it's a bug | 19:02 |
| melter | reon: thanks! that worked! | 19:02 |
| reon | melter, that happend to me about 30min ago | 19:03 |
| reon | zus, sorry I dont know | 19:05 |
| zus | no worries ill figure something out, i didny like nautilus but that was a brilliant tool to know how many files are in a folder right under the folder name. | 19:06 |
| well_laid_lawn | thunar show the number of files in the dir in the status bar | 19:09 |
| interglacial | ls | wc | 19:10 |
| zacarias | Do you know how can we activate the 3rd level with a specific key, or define the alt, win, etc. behaviour, on the keyboard on Xubuntu 11.04? I don't see the options in the keyboard settings | 19:19 |
| reon | what is a 3rd level? | 19:20 |
| Zebulon | hey, i'm going to install Xubuntu 11.04 via FTP using unetbootin, is there anything I should watch out for? | 19:21 |
| reon | why 11.04? | 19:25 |
| Zebulon | 11.10 isn't available on unetbootin | 19:26 |
| Sysi | download .iso and push it to stick with unetbootin | 19:27 |
| Zebulon | i can't i don | 19:27 |
| Zebulon | 't have a stick | 19:27 |
| Zebulon | i have a backtrack live cd | 19:27 |
| Zebulon | and thats it... | 19:27 |
| Zebulon | i just tried it | 19:27 |
| Zebulon | and it installed it, xubuntu 11.04 and then when it restarted it loaded and then froze | 19:28 |
| Zebulon | it just didn't go through, thats why i am here | 19:28 |
| Zebulon | i can just install backtrack but i don't want to :] | 19:28 |
| Zebulon | ok, just a simple question then, when using a to harddisk install do I use the netinstall or the Hdmedia install? | 19:29 |
| reon | http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/#other | 19:31 |
| reon | why not do a ubunto 11.10 install and add xubuntu? | 19:32 |
| Zebulon | ok | 19:32 |
| Zebulon | i'm worried about my outdated video gpu | 19:32 |
| Zebulon | its the reason i'm here | 19:32 |
| Zebulon | any issues with cards that don't support openGL greater than 1.1? | 19:33 |
| reon | honestly dont know | 19:33 |
| Zebulon | ok, don't see how it should matter either tbh :] | 19:34 |
| Zebulon | i'll try the net install again :] | 19:39 |
| Zebulon | you'll be hearing me ;) | 19:40 |

| lordjj | what's "-r" | 20:05 |
| Unit193 | restart | 20:05 |
| lordjj | ok | 20:05 |

| lordjj | And what's the keyboard shortcut for the terminal? | 20:06 |
| lordjj | can I change it? | 20:06 |
| saker | HELP! I just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 and even though I enter the correct password I cannot restart my main user session (I had to start another session to get to x-chat to post here.). When I click on my main user name and enter my password, the screen goes black and then returns me right back to the main menu. Please help | 20:07 |
| Unit193 | I had to add it Menu > Settings > Settings Manager > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts | 20:07 |
| reon | lordjj, you can make it whatever you want | 20:07 |
| saker | and I can use my password on the command line, and it works, I even can reset it, its just the main login menu which blocks me | 20:08 |
| Unit193 | saker: Your main user, you click the correct username, enter password? Is the session set to Xubuntu Session? | 20:08 |
| lordjj | thank you | 20:08 |
| saker | Unit193, I tried all session types and the username and password are correct | 20:08 |
| lordjj | erm, but what's the command to open a terminal window? | 20:09 |
| Unit193 | xfce4-terminal | 20:09 |
| reon | xfce4-terminal | 20:10 |
| Unit193 | saker: Try in terminal sudo mv /home/YOURUSERHERE/.Xauthority /home/YOURUSERHERE/.Xauthority.backup; sudo service lightdm restart | 20:10 |
| saker | ok | 20:11 |
| saker | I did install gdm,, I remember that | 20:11 |
| saker | you want me to use lightgdm? | 20:12 |
| Unit193 | Well, that's default for oneiric, so I was going on that | 20:13 |
| beardygnome | saker: i had the same problem | 20:14 |
| beardygnome | removing the .Xauthority file fixed it for me | 20:14 |
| gNewPower | Unit193, THANKS!! | 20:15 |
| gNewPower | I am the "Saker" | 20:16 |
| Unit193 | gNewPower: Ah, ok. You're welcome | 20:16 |
| gNewPower | switching the display managers did the trick | 20:16 |
| gNewPower | can you explain what happend? | 20:16 |
| Unit193 | I've never seen GDM in oneiric, but you removed a "magic cookie" | 20:17 |
| gNewPower | how so? | 20:18 |
| Unit193 | Having penel issues, detach :/ | 20:19 |
| gNewPower | uh? | 20:20 |

| lothwig | Hi, i want to install xubuntu on my laptop without a cd-drive | 20:29 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 20:29 |
| beardygnome | lothwig: you might be able to boot from a usb drive | 20:30 |
| beardygnome | as long as your laptop's bios supports it | 20:30 |
| lothwig | qemu is (-hda works) but my laptop is not | 20:30 |
| lothwig | Ok, but I don't want to use this only for xubuntu, but also for a biso update | 20:31 |
| lothwig | lenovo should know this laptop has no cd-drive -.- Can i use Grub to boot a cd-image? | 20:32 |
| Pici | zacarias: I don't think that we know what 'the 3rd level' is here, otherwise we'd be helping you. | 20:32 |
| Unit193 | genii-around: That was panel... | 20:33 |

| Unit193 | genii-around: Tabfail, sorry | 20:35 |
| genii-around | Unit193: Ah, no worries. | 20:35 |
| lothwig | Convert the .iso file to .img using the convert option of hdiutil (e.g., hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o ~/path/to/target.img ~/path/to/ubuntu.iso) | 20:36 |
| lothwig | does this convert a cd-image to a usb-image? | 20:36 |
| lothwig | it from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 20:36 |
| lothwig | Burn your CD or create a bootable USB stick /Mac OS/USB Stick | 20:37 |
| beardygnome | lothwig: you can use unetbootin to create a bootable usb drive from a cd iso | 20:38 |
| lothwig | Ah, thanks for the tip, I'm lucky i still have a windows | 20:39 |
| lothwig | I'm doing a bios-update with this technique, wish me luck! | 20:41 |

| boxx | Hey guys. Need some live help. Just installed Xubuntu 11.10. I do not have very much deep knowledge of linux systems but I think i know the basics. I used to run Ubuntu, but i can't stand Unity, so i just switched to Xubuntu and I'm very pleased so far. I just have one little problem: Samba/network browsing | 20:59 |
| boxx | When using ubuntu 11.04 for example, the OS would auto detect other machines on my network (mostly windows-based ones), and I could browse their shares and so on through nautilus | 21:00 |
| zacarias | how do you connect to a remote computer in xubuntu 11.04? | 21:01 |
| gNewPower | well, your help with lightdm versus gdm did solve the problem for me, I just wish I understood what happened and what you did... | 21:01 |
| Unit193 | !fusesmb | 21:01 |
| ubottu | fusesmb is a tool that allows easy access to shared folders (smb) on a network. Links with more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb | 21:01 |
| boxx | well, alt+F2 > smb://computername | 21:01 |
| beardygnome | zacarias: do you want to connect to the command line or the gui desktop? | 21:01 |
| boxx | much like the way i do it on windows (win+r > \\computername) | 21:01 |
| beardygnome | zacarias: is it a linux or windows machine you want to connect to? | 21:02 |
| Unit193 | boxx: Install gvfs-backends and use gigolo | 21:02 |
| zacarias | beardygnome, to the gui desktop. In gnome there is a "connect to" in the menus. I donj't see it in Xubuntu | 21:02 |
| zacarias | Ibeardygnome: it's a mac | 21:03 |
| zacarias | beardygnome: it's a mec | 21:03 |
| boxx | ok, so there's no way to just make the thunar file browser or the "Run command"-prompt in xfce understand the smb:// URI? | 21:03 |
| beardygnome | applications -> internet -> remote desktop viewer | 21:04 |
| beardygnome | boxx: Ctrl-L then enter the smb uri | 21:04 |
| rene_ | my power button does not work in the freshly installed xubuntu 11.10, anyone know how to fix this? | 21:06 |
| beardygnome | rene_: what do you mean by "doesn't work"? | 21:07 |
| rene_ | xev shows the power button is pressed, xubuntu just does not respond with an shutdown menu | 21:07 |
| rene_ | power button works, tried xev and it shows it is pressed. just no response | 21:08 |
| rene_ | set the action to shutdown in power settings (and back to ask to try if that works) but nada | 21:08 |
| boxx | beardygnome hm, ctrl+L doesn't give me anything at all | 21:11 |
| boxx | although... | 21:11 |
| boxx | Unit193: thanks! installing gvfs-backends dit exactly what i wanted. | 21:11 |
| boxx | along with a million different samba packages. | 21:11 |
| Unit193 | boxx: Glad it helped! | 21:11 |
| Unit193 | Eh, it does that (I didn't even remember I did that) | 21:12 |
| beardygnome | boxx: how about Go -> Open Location? | 21:12 |
| Unit193 | boxx: You all setup now? | 21:13 |
| boxx | Yes, it seems to work just fine now actually | 21:13 |
| boxx | Or, wait | 21:13 |
| brashley46 | hiya I'm installing in a Lubuntu installation which somehow lost its LXDE after the latest Ubuntu update - is there any wayto recovr my bookmarks & passwords in firefox and Thunderbird? | 21:14 |
| boxx | in ubuntu 11.04, when i entered a share on a different computer, ubuntu auto-mounted it or something, so it appeared in the left column in the file manager and as a shortcut on the desktop | 21:15 |
| boxx | do you know if there's some easy way to make that happen here? | 21:15 |
| Unit193 | brashley46: Did you mean to join #Lubuntu ? | 21:16 |
| brashley46 | no I'm now installing xubuntu | 21:16 |
| Unit193 | boxx: I don't have it automount to desktop, but you can set gigolo on boot and have a few things automount | 21:16 |
| Unit193 | brashley46: Ok, I didn't get that | 21:16 |
| beardygnome | boxx: i don't think you can do that in thunar yet | 21:17 |
| Unit193 | brashley46: You should be able to backup .mozilla and .thunderbird | 21:17 |
| brashley46 | I could not get the desktop to start in Lubuntu so wasnot able to backup - the machine would boot and then blackscreen | 21:18 |
| beardygnome | brashley46: if you boot a live cd, you can back up all of your files | 21:19 |
| brashley46 | I'm doing the "update" install from the xubuntu disk,will that save my .mozilla and .thunderbird? | 21:20 |
| brashley46 | already started | 21:21 |
| boxx | Unit193 & beardygnome: thanks for all the help! now I can finally get started with.. stuff. Have a nice day/night or whatever it is where you are. | 21:21 |
| beardygnome | brashley46: do you have room to install xubuntu alongside your broken installation? | 21:22 |
| brashley46 | no | 21:22 |
| beardygnome | if you tell the installer NOT to format your partitons, that *should* leave your home directory intact | 21:23 |
| Unit193 | boxx: Glad it's all fixed! | 21:23 |
| brashley46 | cool - that is the install I chose -good to get some positive reinforcement | 21:24 |
| brashley46 | thanksall -hope this works | 21:25 |
| beardygnome | brashley46: i'll keep my fingers crossed for you | 21:25 |
| rene_ | any way to check acpi status/settings ? it is installed but does not seem to recognize my power off button (or has no action associated) | 21:26 |
| Unit193 | rene_: Menu > Settings > Settings Manager > Power Manager | 21:29 |
| rene_ | correctly set to shutdown when on/off button is pressed it just does not do that | 21:30 |
| rene_ | I can shutdown fine from menu just not by using my powerbutton which is a bit annoying on my laptop | 21:31 |
| rene_ | loving the rest of xubuntu btw, everything works excellent except this little annoyance :) | 21:32 |
| Yxven | I'm trying to remap caps lock to escape. I have a .xmodmap file that remaps it correctly, but I can't seem to figure out how to run it automatically upon logging in. I've added "xmodmap ~/.xmodmap" to .xsession and sym linked .xsession to .xinitrc | 21:33 |
| boxx | whehey, im back | 21:34 |
| knome | Yxven, rename the file to ~/.Xmodmap, and if you have selected to use system settings in the keyboard layout dialog in settings manager, it is loaded automatically at boot | 21:35 |
| Yxven | thanks | 21:35 |
| boxx | How can i get "File Roller" to understand how to extract rar-archives packed into several files? | 21:36 |
| boxx | or do I have to run something like Winrar over Wine? | 21:36 |
| knome | !rar | 21:37 |
| ubottu | rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 21:37 |
| rene_ | install unrar-free and works like a charm | 21:37 |
| boxx | ah ok, will try it. | 21:39 |
| rene_ | in xubuntu software center its called rar (unrar is non-free) but it is for both opening and creating rar's | 21:41 |
| boxx | ok. I installed them all I think. testing it now | 21:41 |
| gNewPower | I did an upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 and in my top panel the volume control applet has disappeared. how do I get it back? thanks | 21:45 |
| rene_ | just volume or all indicators? | 21:47 |
| Unit193 | gNewPower: sudo apt-get install indicator-sound and remove indicator plugin and put it back | 21:47 |
| gNewPower | Unit193, thanks | 21:50 |
| Unit193 | gNewPower: Heh, you're welcome again ;) | 21:50 |
| Unit193 | Anything else while you're here? ;) | 21:50 |
| gNewPower | yes, | 21:50 |
| gNewPower | how do I remove an indicator plugin I don't see?? | 21:51 |
| Unit193 | Right click on the email icon > Remove | 21:51 |
| gNewPower | the one for pidgin for ex? | 21:51 |
| gNewPower | sorry | 21:52 |
| Unit193 | Pidgin, thunderbird, etc | 21:52 |
| gNewPower | ok | 21:52 |
| Unit193 | Right click > Panel > Add new items > Indicator Plugin | 21:52 |
| gNewPower | ok | 21:54 |
| gNewPower | that did work | 21:54 |
| gNewPower | but... | 21:54 |
| gNewPower | but nothing :-) | 21:54 |
| gNewPower | it all works | 21:54 |
| gNewPower | lol | 21:54 |
| gNewPower | can I edit what I do want and do not want to see in that indicator plugin? | 21:55 |
| Unit193 | I only have Network, Mail, and Volume in the indicator plugin, but more applets | 21:59 |
| Unit193 | You can change what applets you have | 21:59 |
| gNewPower | I have ubuntu one for ex. how do I remove that from the indicator plugin you helped me get sound to | 22:00 |
| kenny__ | hi | 22:01 |

| kenny__ | ive installed xubuntu on virtualbox, started it up, runs nice, only have problem with the resolution, and i dont have /etc/X11/xconf.org file | 22:02 |
| knome | have you installed the guest additions? | 22:02 |

| kenny__ | currently im reinstalling xubuntu 11.10 | 22:04 |
| Unit193 | gNewPower: If I understand what I'm reading, remove indicator-messages to remove the mail icon | 22:04 |
| gNewPower | from the CLI, right | 22:04 |
| Rodensky | hello | 22:24 |

| zacarias | Do you know how can we activate the 3rd level on Xubuntu 11.04? 3d level is the ability to enable the "at", the "euro" and other signs which you can do with the keys, not with shift but with one of the other (win/apple or alt) keys | 22:45 |
| jmcantrell | how do i browse network shares? | 22:53 |
| Unit193 | jmcantrell: Install gvfs-backends | 22:54 |
| jmcantrell | Unit193: what do i do after that? | 22:55 |
| Unit193 | jmcantrell: Either open thunar and look at network on the side, or Menu > System > Gigolo | 22:56 |
| yomi | Hello. | 22:56 |
| jmcantrell | Unit193: ok. i'm getting a gvfs error sometimes when i go to my home folder in thunar. do you know anything about that? | 22:56 |
| Unit193 | What error exactly? | 22:57 |
| jmcantrell | Unit193: one sec | 22:58 |
| jmcantrell | Unit193: i can't get it to show again, however all i see is grey when i go there or my desktop... everywhere else seems to work | 22:58 |
| yomi | the issue I'm having isn't too bad, but I'm forced to restart xfdesktop whenever I login in, and there's something up with the icons...here's a screenshot...http://imageshack.us/f/214/screenshot1018201107010.png/ | 23:02 |
| jmcantrell | Unit193: "error stating file '/home/me/.gvfs': transport endpoint is not connected | 23:02 |
| Unit193 | jmcantrell: You using encryption? | 23:05 |
| jmcantrell | Unit193: yes | 23:05 |
| jmcantrell | Unit193: apparently a reboot fixes it, but any logout/login brings it back | 23:05 |

| Unit193 | Ye | 23:09 |
| jmcantrell | Unit193: do you know how to fix this? | 23:11 |
| Unit193 | Disable gnome services | 23:13 |
| jmcantrell | Unit193: ok, then how do i get the keyring to work without it? | 23:13 |

| yomi | ...? | 23:18 |
| yomi | I think it might be gtk, but I have no clue | 23:19 |
| yomi | http://imageshack.us/f/214/screenshot1018201107010.png/ | 23:21 |
| yomi | gedit's icons look messed up. it also affects...startup disk creator. | 23:22 |
| Unit193 | What theme are you using and can you deal with it? | 23:24 |
| yomi | I'm using MurrinaAquaish, I suppose I could put up with it. | 23:26 |
| zacarias | Sorry to ask again: Do you know how can we activate the 3rd level on Xubuntu 11.04? 3d level is the ability to enable the "at", the "euro" and other signs which you can do with the keys, not with shift but with one of the other (win/apple or alt) keys | 23:26 |
| Unit193 | yomi: Try the default, see if that works | 23:26 |
| Unit193 | yomi: Might be something to do with GTK2/3 | 23:27 |
| yomi | would the default be "greybird"? | 23:27 |
| Unit193 | IIRC, yes | 23:27 |
| yomi | ah.. | 23:29 |
| yomi | there we go. | 23:29 |
| knome | Unit193, eh, "IIRC" :D | 23:29 |
| yomi | brb... | 23:29 |
| Unit193 | knome: Albatross, Greybird, bluebird... You think I'll remember ANY of that? :P | 23:30 |
| Unit193 | knome: Good job on them BTW :P | 23:30 |
| knome | Unit193, ;) thx | 23:30 |
| yomi | okay 1 issue solved | 23:34 |
| yomi | the second is this one.... | 23:34 |
| yomi | I just rebooted and now the desktop background is completely blue and my right-click menu looks like gnome's (the options it gives me) its "fixed" if I restart xfdesktop after I login in | 23:35 |
| yomi | perhaps its because I have Nautilus installed, it auto-starts | 23:43 |
| yomi | I want to install the latest NVIDIA Drivers....how would I do that? I used to do "sudo service gdm stop" but gdm is gone | 23:56 |
| knome | yomi, look at jockey | 23:58 |
