| asterismo | i need help with Xubuntu | 02:30 |
| asterismo | it appears to be that XFCE preferred applications do not remember selected apps, and every time i boot up my laptop there is no defined preferred app and when i click on "choose application", it does not have any app in the list, say, web browser... and i have to click in "other" and write custom command, say firefox. that occurs for all apps | 02:32 |
| ParkaSpace | Hi. I'm trying to get my printer to work on Ubuntu. Supposedly it's supported, but needs a driver. I've downloaded it, but it is not wanting to install without a password for root. | 04:19 |
| ParkaSpace | I'm pretty sure that I don't actually want to set a root password from what I've read... | 04:20 |
| mutes | parkaspace you already set a root password | 04:27 |
| nomnex | hi | 05:21 |
| dropbear | is someone able to talk me though how to use chmod to change the permissions on an external drive I have. It for some reason after formatting reverted to be root only. but I want read/write privelages for all users etc | 06:00 |

| holstein | dropbear: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive#Mount_The_Drive | 06:01 |
| holstein | the chown part in particular | 06:01 |
| dropbear | thank you | 06:02 |
| dropbear | I also have a rather strange questions. I updated to ubuntu 11.10 and now I have my desktop without anything down the side or along the top or anything. is there a simple fix to this? | 06:05 |
| bioterror | simple fix, reinstall | 06:12 |
| bioterror | another one could be removing ~/.gconf | 06:12 |
| dropbear | oh okay | 06:13 |
| dropbear | I will try that | 06:13 |
| bioterror | and hmm | 06:13 |
| bioterror | yeah, you could try with a new user account if it has the same proble | 06:13 |
| bioterror | if so, I would probably purge gnome\* :P | 06:14 |
| dropbear | okay | 06:14 |
| dropbear | in relation to my earlier problem about trying to change the read/write for my drive. when I enter mount -a it tells me that my mount point does not exist | 06:15 |
| holstein | dropbear: run fdisk -l | 06:18 |
| dropbear | okay | 06:18 |
| holstein | make sure the drive is showing up | 06:18 |
| dropbear | it's there | 06:19 |
| dropbear | it's /dev/sdb | 06:20 |
| dropbear | bioterror: is there a way to reinstall 11.10 and keep all of my file... like through the update manager? rather than making a USB and booting with that | 06:23 |
| holstein | i would always backup any data before reinstalling or whatever | 06:24 |
| holstein | you can paste the output of sudo fdisk -l to a pastebin for closer inspection | 06:25 |
| holstein | and elaborate as to what the isssue is... | 06:25 |
| dropbear | I can't do anything with my external drive because in the drive propertiees it is all root only privelages. I tried editing fstab but when I enter mount -a it comes up telling me that my mount point does not exist | 06:27 |
| holstein | dropbear: when i have added an external drive, i have followed the steps that in linked, and all has been well for me | 06:28 |
| dropbear | ok | 06:29 |

| nlsthzn | Hi all. I am having a bit of trouble on my first Wordpress install. The blog is up and running, and attempting my first post I tried to insert a few images but they are not showing up in the posts... Place holders but no images. Any ideas? | 11:21 |
| nlsthzn | Making some headway... the links to the images aren't correct... works when I manually edit them... just have to figure out now how to make them point to the correct images automatically | 11:40 |

| Duvrazh | description, product, vendor, physical id, bus info, logical name, version, serial, size, capacity, width, clock, capabilities, configuration, resources | 20:47 |
| Duvrazh | it can't ping beyond the router or subnet, but i can ssh into it | 20:48 |
