[02:09] <Guest10838> I would like to single-click desktop icons to open them.
[02:19] <angelorosa> folks, how many RAM memory xubuntu need to work fine?
[02:52] <xubuntu413> whatmeens logged?
[03:23] <gharz> Guys, if i download the xubuntu fr the ubuntu site, does the xubuntu comes with wubi? This is why i love ubuntu coz of wubi.
[03:24] <gharz> Anyone?
[03:25] <holstein> gharz: im nost sure if xubuntu has wubi or not, but you can download normal ubuntu *with* wubi, install, and then convert to xubuntu easily :)
[03:26] <gharz> holstein, i can complete remove the gnome files and it can be purely xfce system?
[03:26] <holstein> you can do whatever you like
[03:26] <holstein> wont be much gnome in there AFAIK
[03:27] <gharz> holstein, AFAIK.
[03:27] <gharz> Afaik?
[03:27] <holstein> as far as i know
[03:27] <gharz> Ok thanks
[03:27] <holstein> the normal ubuntu doens use gnome, so i doubt its there
[03:27] <holstein> but, try the xubuntu live CD anyways... if it doesnt have wubi, you got options
[03:28] <gharz> Ok thanks holstein
[03:28] <holstein> i seem to remember just getting the wubi.exe once and using the iso i wanted
[03:28] <holstein> that would have been in the 8.x or 9.x's though
[03:29] <gharz> Really? I can just use wubi... I will check the wubi site and check how to do it if in case xubuntu doesnt come with wubi. Huge thanks!!!!!
[03:51] <sparkle33> Hi, I'm trying to install Xubuntu but I get an error, ubi-partman failed exit code 141. I googled a solution and it says the bug was fixed, but I'm still getting it. Help?
[03:53] <holstein> sparkle33: i would probably just try the other installer... the alternate
[07:13] <asterismo> hi
[07:14] <asterismo> i have a question about XFCE menu
[07:14] <asterismo> there is an icon missing
[07:14] <asterismo> the education menu icon
[07:14] <asterismo> any ideas how to fix it? i found that is a known bug and i
[07:14] <asterismo> try to fix it but with no luck
[07:19] <asterismo> anyone?
[12:00] <zoghome> I have installed Xubuntu on an older laptop where the onboard wifi only supports WEP.. I have a USB wifi adapter that supports better crypto, how do I force it to use the USB wifi and not the onboard one?
[12:00] <zoghome> (11.04 here)
[12:08] <zoghome> .. i think I've found it, force by mac address in nm-applet
[13:54] <Error404NotFound> How do i change font sizes and types? also did anyone else notice the ugliness of skype on xubuntu? (first time xubuntu user here, shifted from ubuntu)
[14:08] <TheSheep> Error404NotFound: you can make skype use your system theme by providing a command line option to it
[14:08] <TheSheep> Error404NotFound: try skype --help for details
[14:09] <Error404NotFound> TheSheep: in skype's settings under Theme i have set 'Desktop Settings' that sure didn't work.
[14:09] <TheSheep> Error404NotFound: what fonts do you want to change?
[14:09] <Error404NotFound> TheSheep: fixed, Found the in settings though its irritating how some of the apps on xubuntu won't follow system fonts but would have their own 'sans 16' set.
[14:10] <TheSheep> yeah, that is annoying, feel free to report bugs to their authors
[14:10] <Error404NotFound> TheSheep: Skype v2.2.0.35, no commandline option to set theme though...
[14:10] <Error404NotFound> TheSheep: More annoying if its in default app :P
[14:12] <Error404NotFound> I am used to using multiple tabs in nautilus. Thunar, though awesome else, doesn't support tabs yet. Any recommendations? any pre-release ppa versions with tabs support? Or should i get nautilus installed?
[14:20] <Error404NotFound> reverted to pcmanfm
[14:20] <Error404NotFound> that seems better
[14:40] <Krissinn> Does someone in here know why I cant connect too irc.freenode.net on my XCHAT irc client? Have too use browser client
[14:40] <Pici> Krissinn: Are you getting an error?
[14:41] <Krissinn>  Tcl plugin for XChat - Version 1.64   Copyright 2002-2005 Daniel P. Stasinski  http://www.scriptkitties.com/tclplugin/  Tcl interface loaded  Perl interface loaded  Python interface loaded * Looking up irc.freenode.org * Connecting to irc.freenode.org (85.94.204.146) port 6667... * Connection failed. Error: Connection refused
[14:41] <Krissinn> I just get this every time i try it
[14:44] <Pici> Krissinn: does the following command produce any output: dig irc.freenode.net | grep 85.94.204.146
[14:45] <Krissinn> Should i put this in terminal or in xchat?
[14:47] <Pici> Krissinn: in a terminal
[14:48] <Krissinn> ns.bofh.it.		150584	IN	A	85.94.204.146
[14:49] <Krissinn> and the ip got a red background
[14:50] <Pici> Krissinn: Can please you pastebin the results of:  dig irc.freenode.net
[14:50] <Pici> !paste
[14:52] <Krissinn> http://paste.ubuntu.com/753726/
[14:55] <Pici> hmm
[14:56] <Pici> Krissinn: Did you just start getting this problem?
[14:59] <Pici> Krissinn: I ask because it looks like your DNS has not updated, and I no longer see that server ip as listed in the A records for chat.freenode.net on either my computer, or at an external dns thingy.
[14:59] <Krissinn> Well, there has been this problem with the internet, as soon as my Dad puts a passcode on the wireless network I drop out. So we tried this Mac Address method, so we have to log in too the administrator account for our internet and write my Mac address there. Since this Mac thingy began I havent gotten on the server.
[15:01] <Pici> Krissinn: I suspect that either your router is not functioning properly as a DNS relay or your ISP has cached those records for longer than they should have.  You should be able to remedy this by using an external DNS server, like openDNS or google's DNS servers.
[15:02] <Krissinn> Alright, I will give that a try, thank you very much.
[15:13] <Error404NotFound> After enabling compiz by 'compiz --replace' windows title bars disappear, how can i fix this?
[15:29] <holstein> Error404NotFound: AFAIK, you need a decorator
[15:30] <holstein> i grabbed emerald, though there is a newer, more preffered option i saw mentioned
[15:31] <Error404NotFound> holstein: fell back tp xfw4, was trying to make xubuntu as similar to ubuntu gnome2 setups that i had but these kinds of bells and whistles can wait :)
[15:32] <holstein> right, and i have that
[15:32] <holstein> with compiz and emerald
[15:32] <holstein> and i changed notifications
[15:34] <holstein> http://askubuntu.com/questions/58002/how-do-i-enable-compiz-in-xubuntu
[15:34] <holstein> ^^ thats a lot like what i did
[15:39] <TheSheep> !compiz
[15:40] <FerchoLP> I know that this discussion is very old, but how come that the default behavior on closing the laptop lid is "do nothing"?
[15:40] <FerchoLP> this is the second time I almost melt my laptop after a fresh install  closing the lid and putting it on a bag :/
[15:40] <holstein> FerchoLP: its got to default to something :)
[15:41] <FerchoLP> yes, I've always expect it to go to suspension mode
[15:41] <holstein> expect/assume nothing
[15:41] <FerchoLP> I should see what other linux distributions do by default
[15:42] <TheSheep> FerchoLP: it's better than closing your lid for a moment and discovering all your downloads and compiles broken
[15:42] <FerchoLP> I know that's the main argument to the "do nothing" default
[15:42] <holstein> each time i close the lid i look for the lights to start flashing... im used to suspend half-way working from in the past
[15:42] <FerchoLP> BUT i think it's better to lost some downloads and compiles ONE time and not melt your laptop ONE time
[15:42] <holstein> FerchoLP: its a easy setting.. theres a GUI
[15:42] <TheSheep> you *can* set it to suspend on closed lid
[15:43] <TheSheep> yeah
[15:43] <holstein> you literally cant please everyone
[15:43] <genii-around> You could always make directory /etc/acpi/local , file in there of lid.sh which has something like shutdown -h now
[15:43] <FerchoLP> I know you can, I'm saying it should be default
[15:43] <holstein> FerchoLP: right, and others would say it *should* be the other way... so... ?
[15:44] <FerchoLP> yes, but I think the consequences are different in case of mistake
[15:44] <holstein> you could write a question that is a promt at install time, but i personally find those annoying
[15:44] <holstein> FerchoLP: ?
[15:44] <holstein> thats one of the first things i tesr, from the live CD
[15:45] <holstein> does the laptop sleep and wake up... do i get wifi after sleeping... etc
[15:45] <holstein> FerchoLP: feel free and file a bug report though
[15:45] <holstein> that would be 'wish-list'
[15:45] <FerchoLP> I found an old discussion in http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/22505/
[15:46] <FerchoLP> good arguments for both sides
[15:47] <holstein> sure... and right now, i have mine set to sleep when i close the lid
[15:47] <FerchoLP> apparently default behavior was different a few years ago
[15:48] <holstein> as long as theres a simple way to configure, im comfortable with whatever defaults
[15:49] <puff> Sometimes when I restart firefox, all of the windows are off in some phantom zone background;  they show up on alt-tab as grayed out, if I alt-tab to one of them and then move it to another virtual desktop, I'm back to looking at the desktop background.  Is there some way to bring all of these windows to the foreground?
[15:50] <holstein> puff: thats odd... i might try letting ~/.firefox or whatever its called there to 'respawn'
[15:51] <holstein> you could test by making another user account as well
[15:53] <GridCube> !info ubuntu-system-service
[15:53] <GridCube> mmmhm
[16:29] <rdesfo> hello
[16:29] <rdesfo> my terminal doesn't recognize the lower case "a" but when I su into a different account it works fine.  Does any one have an idea how to resolve this?
[16:29] <GridCube> rdesfo, you use an english kb?
[16:29] <rdesfo> yes
[16:30] <GridCube> then on a terminal launch >setxkbd en
[16:30] <GridCube> and try the key
[16:30] <GridCube> then on a terminal launch >setxkbmap en
[16:31] <rdesfo> $ setxkbd en
[16:31] <rdesfo> setxkbd: command not found
[16:31] <GridCube> yes
[16:31] <GridCube> setxkbmap en
[16:33] <rdesfo> nope
[16:33] <GridCube> or maybe       setxkmap us
[16:34] <rdesfo> I have to run it in "run program" so I don't get any of the output
[16:35] <rdesfo> Failed to execute child process "setxkmap" (No such file or directory).
[16:35] <GridCube> :o
[16:35] <GridCube> thats weird
[16:36] <rdesfo> I ran the command under a different user and here's the output
[16:36] <rdesfo> No command 'setxkmap' found, did you mean:
[16:36] <rdesfo>  Command 'setxkbmap' from package 'x11-xkb-utils' (main)
[16:37] <rdesfo> is 'setxkbmap us' what you where thinking of?
[16:38] <GridCube> yes
[16:39] <GridCube> sorry that was a typo
[16:39] <GridCube> :)
[16:42] <rdesfo> :(
[16:42] <rdesfo> No protocol specified
[16:42] <rdesfo> Cannot open display ":0.0"
[16:43] <GridCube> D:
[16:43] <GridCube> are you not on X?
[16:44] <rdesfo> I would assume I am.  isn't the default for xfce?
[16:45] <GridCube> it sure is
[16:45] <GridCube> you should just open a terminal, alt-f2 > xfce4-terminal
[16:45] <GridCube> and run
[16:45] <GridCube> xkbmap us
[16:46] <GridCube> setxkbmap us
[16:49] <rdesfo> xkbmap: command not found
[16:49] <GridCube> yes, yes, typo
[16:50] <GridCube> think for a moment about what we have been doing
[16:50] <rdesfo> is there a x window status command I can run?
[16:51] <GridCube> dont know
[17:08] <rdesfo> yep I'm running x
[17:08] <rdesfo> Running X session wrapper
[17:08] <rdesfo> Loading profile from /etc/profile
[17:21] <Arpad2> Upgrade Manager gives this http://paste.ubuntu.com/753811/, and no program can be installed or be removed
[17:22] <CiPi> Why you don`t use terminal? It`s seems is much better...
[17:22] <CiPi> Upgrade and update from terminal.
[17:24] <baizon> Arpad2: sudo apt-get install -f
[17:24] <baizon> try this
[17:24] <Arpad2> ok
[17:25] <Arpad2> baizon gives this http://paste.ubuntu.com/753862/
[17:26] <baizon> Arpad2: so type it
[17:26] <baizon> and upgrade your 112 packages =)
[17:26] <Arpad2> apt-get update ?
[17:28] <baizon> sudo apt-get upgrade
[17:29] <Arpad2> gives this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/753865/
[17:34] <baizon> and if you try to remove the package?
[17:35] <baizon> try to remove libgnome-control-center1
[17:36] <Arpad2> like sudo rm FILE ?
[17:36] <baizon> nope
[17:37] <baizon> sudo apt-get remove libgnome-control-center1
[17:37] <Arpad2> ok
[17:38] <baizon> and if that works again sudo apt-get upgrade
[17:38] <Arpad2> http://paste.ubuntu.com/753875/
[17:39] <Arpad2> it seeme it doesn't work
[17:39] <Arpad2> is it possible to reinstall the complete system without loosing data?
[17:39] <genii-around> Alternately you might want to copy the contents of this page http://piki.org/patrick/projects/dpkg-rebuild to a file named dpkg-rebuild, and run it to reconstruct. Documentation is inside the comments
[17:40] <baizon> or try sudo dpkg --configure -a
[17:41] <Arpad2> genii-around exactly this happened here: crash during maintanance due to hardware malfunction
[17:43] <Arpad2> baizon: http://paste.ubuntu.com/753879/
[17:43] <baizon> ok
[17:43] <baizon> now again sudo apt-get upgrade ?
[17:44] <baizon> same error?
[17:44] <Arpad2> yes; same or similar
[17:45] <genii-around> Arpad2: That perl file will build you a new /var/lib/dpkg/status file
[17:46] <genii-around> The documentation within it is farly self-explanatory
[17:46] <genii-around> *fairly
[17:47] <Arpad2> so I have to write a perl file, which will create a new status file
[17:47] <Arpad2> ?
[17:48] <Arpad2> ok
[17:49] <genii-around> Yes. But that url is the perl file itself. You just copy the text within, save to filename dpkg-rebuild, make sure it is executable. As it says, saves the new status file to /tmp/status  .. from there, copy it to /var/lib/dpkg/
[17:52] <Arpad2> ok
[18:41] <Arpad2> genii-around: ok, I think I have done what I should, but I still get error message while updating
[18:41] <try_out> Hello... Were am I?
[18:42] <try_out> Well. Where can I find the Russian channel?
[18:44] <Arpad2> genii-around: http://paste.ubuntu.com/753960/
[18:44] <try_out> Do u help me? Have installing Xubuntu, but haven't hear any sound.
[18:44] <try_out> O, thanks
[18:44] <try_out> It's for me?
[18:44] <Sysi> !ru
[18:46] <try_out> Классно, то что надо. Ещё раз спасибо
[18:49] <davek> hi
[18:49] <davek> hola?
[18:49] <davek> alguien que hable español?
[18:49] <Sysi> !sp
[18:49] <Sysi> !es
[18:50] <davek> ok, muchas gracias. es mi primera vez...
[18:52] <Arpad2> genii-around: status file is empty
[19:08] <genii-around> Arpad2: Apologies on lag, work required me. When you ran the script it produces a /tmp/status file with no content?
[19:09] <Arpad2> genii-around: yes
[19:10] <genii-around> Arpad2: This would indicate that the files where it is pulling the info from also have some issue. Is /var/lib/dpkg/available also zero length?
[19:10] <Arpad2> although terminal's output looks like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/753977/
[19:11] <genii-around> Hm, you are logged on as root
[19:11] <Arpad2> I opened available with gedit and it is empty too
[19:12] <genii-around> Yes, so there is the problem as far as dpkg-rebuild. It creates a file with no content because the "available" file is also screwed
[19:13] <Arpad2> so it meand kind of that the problem is somewhere 'deeper' ?
[19:13] <genii-around> Probably
[19:15] <genii-around> Arpad2: I would suggest: dpkg --clear-avail      then: apt-get update      then try to re-run the perl script, see if it makes another empty file this time
[19:15] <Arpad2> all right
[19:16] <genii-around> Arpad2: Work needs me for 5-7 minutes but I'm around
[19:16] <Arpad2> thx for help, ok
[19:18] <Arpad2> same result
[19:27] <genii-around> Arpad2: Does ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/status-old show it to be there and larger than zero?
[19:31] <Arpad2> http://paste.ubuntu.com/754001/
[19:33] <Arpad2> a kukában van eg ystatus ami nem nulla
[19:33] <Arpad2> sorry
[19:34] <Arpad2> I have one status file in the Trash, which isnt empty
[19:41] <genii-around> Arpad2: Is it somewhere around 3 Mb?
[19:41] <Arpad2> 2.5
[19:59] <genii-around> Arpad2: I suggest then to restore it /var/lib/dpkg/     and then see if apt-get update can complete
[20:00] <Arpad2> ok
[20:04] <VShell> Hi, I'm trying to install Xubuntu to a USB drive and it appears to be stuck. Is there a log of what's going on that I can tail?
[21:06] <Zer0day>  /var/log/syslog or sth..
