=== Evixion` is now known as Evixion [01:15] How do you format a usb stick in Xubuntu 10.04? [01:16] spaceneedle: i use gparted, but im sure theres a simpler tool [01:51] Hey, Xubuntu users. Anyone try installing the R statistics pakages under Oneiric, v11.10 yet? It's giving me peculiar dependency issues. [02:16] hi guys [02:17] oh. hey. [02:17] For a long minute there, I didn't think anyone talked on this channel... [02:18] what's on your mind? [02:18] I need some assistance with re-installing 11.10 over a failed 11.04-to-11.10 upgrade. [02:19] I want to re-install 11.10 *in-place*, without having to wipe the existing ext4 partition. [02:22] wow. beyond my expertise, I'm afraid. I just came in to get advice on installing R under 11.10... [02:36] k_sze, just tell the installer to put it on that partition and format it again as ext4 as it installs [02:38] w30: "without having to wipe the existing ext4 partition" [02:39] k_sze, well formatting it again will wipe it for everyone except the FBI [06:32] I cannot get my Logitech headset to work in xubuntu. As I now need to reboot into windows daily for meetings to use the headset, xubuntu is now a liability for me. Anyone able to help resolve this?

[13:19] actually I got on to post a problem I had found [13:19] hi will the stable kernel 3.1 find its way to 11.10? [13:20] any one who knows how to remove keyring in xubuntu? it asks me password everytime I use ex chrome. [13:23] I have tried with seahorse (password manager) [13:23] no luck [13:23] no clue sry [13:26] never mind, found a solution :) [13:26] bye-bye [13:34] Can someone please tell me how to disable the password/lock when resuming from suspend (in 11.10)? [14:39] Thanks TheSheep, but it's a USB headset. === artuno is now known as Yoshiko === Yoshiko is now known as artuno === artuno is now known as atruno- === atruno- is now known as Yoshiko === Yoshiko is now known as Yoshiko- === amgine is now known as Amgine [16:52] <_Pete_> hi [16:52] <_Pete_> for somereason my audio is not working when using xubuntu session [16:52] <_Pete_> when logged in to gnome unity it works [16:52] <_Pete_> I suspect xubuntu deciced to switch to output to HDMI output [16:52] <_Pete_> how to change that in xubuntu? [16:55] try with mixer, if that doesn't work, get pavucontrol/paprefs [16:55] <_Pete_> ok found it thanks [16:56] <_Pete_> just wondering why it was switched in first place [16:59] stuff happens [17:00] so doing it from mixer worked? [17:00] <_Pete_> yes [17:00] <_Pete_> from gnome-settings [17:00] <_Pete_> how about this: is there way define how much it will go forward/backward in parole video player when one presses keyboard arrows left/right? [17:01] <_Pete_> now it jumps way too much [17:01] that's the same as using pavucontrol.. it should work from xfce-mixer too, but that's not fully confirmed [17:01] I think you can't [17:02] you can use vlc or gnome-mplayer (but I'm not sure about that on them) [17:02] <_Pete_> yeah, in vlc it is by default alt+left/right [17:08] <_Pete_> did boot to newest kernel today so that changed the audio outputs I guess [17:59] Hey together, I need some help with adjusting to the xubuntu experience coming from 20 years of Mac OS :) Anyone willing to help? :-) [18:00] powercircle: sure... [18:01] might i suggest taking a few days and approaching it similarly to when you first started using macOS [18:01] Okay, first it's great to am switching, finally, after four years of considering :P [18:01] instead of trying to immediately make "this" be like "that" [18:01] linux/ubuntu is open, and can be configured to look and feel literally any way you would like [18:01] I'm on xubuntu since november already after first trials in may. This is my long thought out plan to leave apple behind :P [18:01] but, i find taking some time to get used to the defaults can be easier on everyone involved [18:02] you might also consider going with a desktop environment that might be more like OSX out of the box [18:02] though xubuntu is not a bad choice [18:02] I'm switching to get away from defaults. I've got around of 14 years professional linuy _SERVER_ exp. on my back, but have some problems with more specific things. [18:02] cool [18:03] ask what you like here then, and if someone can, they will help :) [18:03] powercircle: welcome [18:03] For example I now have around 27 Terminals open, but can't distinguish them in the tasklist. [18:03] <_Pete_> powercircle: if so, I guess you handle all well from shell? [18:03] hrhr, youre reading my thoughts? [18:04] I'd like to set the title of the terminals to the currently running process, but can't find something that can do that. I suspect it's an environment variable? [18:05] <_Pete_> it depends wich xterm/cloneofit you are using [18:05] powercircle: I got rid of the task list and just use the workspace switcher [18:05] <_Pete_> I guess you can use pure xterm too [18:05] BTW.: I'm not stupid. An URL or a small hint like "look at TERMINAPP_CMD variable" is totally sufficient :-) [18:05] Nah, I like the look and feel of the xfce terminal. Also as you said, I'd like to stick to defaults as much as I can. [18:06] <_Pete_> I have similar background [18:06] xfce terminal has an option to set the title in the preferences [18:06] <_Pete_> but I prefer to mix what best suits me [18:06] Yeah it has such a field where it just says "Terminal" now. Can I use variables in there? [18:06] i would consider looking at other terminal emulators that might do what you are looking for http://martin.ankerl.com/2007/09/01/comprehensive-linux-terminal-performance-comparison/ [18:07] i use screen a lot personally, and tend to label the running screen sessions.. not sure if that would help you locate [18:07] powercircle: I think so, mine displays the name of the process there [18:07] <_Pete_> powercircle: just curious, where do you need 27 terminals? :) [18:07] What's in your field there,then? [18:08] Maybe you're using this $PS1 somewhere in .bashrc or .profile? [18:08] powercircle: but I'm afk now so I can't check :( [18:09] Okay, next annoyance. I've had a great and simple way to store passwords in mac os x. a passwords disk image. It mounts when double-clicked and asks for a master-password. [18:09] The only solution on linux that comes to mind for me is dm-crypt+losetup+xterm. Is there something fancy that saves .txts ? :-) [18:09] in xfce you have the keyring [18:10] there is also a fuse filesystem that encrypts single files on the fly [18:10] I looked at various password safes already, they seem too limiting to me, unfortunately. [18:10] you could transition to truecrypt on both OS's [18:10] encfs or something [18:10] brrr, truecrypt? I'm running multiple FDE servers and tried it. It performs poorly, IMHO. [18:11] But thats a great Idea to look for GUI passwords-asking youre right. Thanks :) [18:12] I'll need some seamlessly integrated Windows/Mac OS programs, too. I'm looking into buying VMWare Workstation, but would like to stick with KVM. Can KVM provide windowed seamless integration? [18:13] * holstein uses virtualbox [18:13] i think they all support that now though [18:13] I think even qemu/libvirt does [18:13] I searched around for an hour and could find info about that for KVM. [18:13] *couldn't [18:14] use libvirt-manager [18:14] it's the cool thing for ubuntu [18:14] <_Pete_> powercircle: just curious part 2: what did make you do this switch? [18:15] I'm stuying network security, so I need to work lots with latex omnet++ and this stuff, but Mac OS X did it all perfectly well. [18:15] There are two things which make me switch (second only discovered during the switch). [18:16] 1. Linux doesn't tell me how to love to do things. I hate being told: You can't do that, because It's complicated. [18:16] Also I come from an evangelist standpoint. I loved mac os 7,8,9,X... But then they added the appstore, the iPhone etc. [18:16] I don't want to hand out my freedom to do as I please with the stuff I pay for and pay for lots. [18:18] Also, as I work so much with Linux it's the natural alternative. I can compile the kernel I want, use the hardware I want, etc- [18:18] The second point is, it's _TOTALLY_ cheap. I've got a MacPro with 24Gb RAM and 3 SSDs sitting next to the stinker I'm working with now. [18:19] And guess what? The stinker is faster. It has 4gig of ram and can handle more Browser Tabs than the Mac could. Thats amazing. [18:19] * powercircle is planning this switch since 2009. [18:20] <_Pete_> under the bridge? [18:20] mh? [18:21] another example would be chatting on over 64 irc networks. mac os x's colloquy crashes when trying. xchat doesnt care :) [18:22] <_Pete_> is that where you need all those 27 terminals? [18:24] <_Pete_> btw, just curious part3: [18:24] <_Pete_> when you did run your macos7, was it on 68k or ppc system? [18:25] macp pro means probably mac os x [18:27] oh, misread [18:31] <_Pete_> powercircle: I suggest, while being there under bridge, and planning next trolling, try to figure out something more intelligent [18:47] _Pete_, I'm sorry to hear that you think about it that way. [19:15] hello everyone [19:15] hello [19:15] knome: could u help me with mail watcher? [19:15] u know that program? [19:16] <_Pete_> no [19:16] <_Pete_> but if you brief it very well [19:16] nope, haven't got experience with that [19:16] <_Pete_> then we might know what the problem is [19:17] u can add it to the panel and it checks a specified email address and changes icon if u got new email [19:17] and u can set it up to execute a specified command if u get a new email [19:18] my question would be if with what command can i put a notification to the desktop [19:19] <_Pete_> it's sure you can [19:19] <_Pete_> with "primitive" X tools like xmessage [19:19] u know the same as when u plug a pendrive into the comp and it shows up that its mounted etc. [19:19] csenger41, notify-send "Summary" "Text" [19:19] <_Pete_> but maybe there's some better way for xfce? [19:19] knome: sec gonna check [19:20] <_Pete_> csenger41: ah, nice to know! [19:20] _Pete_: what? [19:20] <_Pete_> notify-send [19:21] yay, working, thanks [19:25] does this work on other distros, like Ubuntu or Kubuntu? [19:25] csenger41, yes, should work. [19:25] csenger41, that's the general bin for notify messages [19:29] thank you very much for the help :) [19:29] http://nandiel.tumblr.com/post/14270846334/show-custom-notification-message [19:40] thank you for the help again, ur awesome knome :) [19:40] bye i g2g now [21:05] I've got an error message while trying to remove a software, that there is an error in aptdaemon, software that allows to install/remove software [21:06] !pastebin | Arpad2 [21:06] Arpad2: 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.
