| GridCube | whats the problem? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| pimperle | after 10 seconds of inactivity, the screen brightness is reduced by two steps | 00:00 |
| pimperle | theres a setting in xfce4-power-manager-settings which should affect this, but doesnt | 00:01 |
| GridCube | yes, ive noticed that | 00:01 |
| GridCube | never bothered me tho | 00:01 |
| pimperle | i'd like to read text for longer than 10 seconds, that is why i asked | 00:02 |
| GridCube | i have my setting to never change the brigtness but it changes just a little bit if iddle for some time with battery only | 00:02 |
| pimperle | moving the mouse every 8 seconds is quite annoying | 00:02 |
| pimperle | it pretty noticeable here | 00:02 |
| GridCube | mine never goes sooo bad | 00:02 |
| pimperle | but this looks like a bug in the power manager, doesn't it? | 00:03 |
| GridCube | maybe | 00:03 |
| GridCube | don't know | 00:03 |
| Fudge | hi anyone used xubuntu precise with orca or know if it will be more accessible? | 00:03 |
| GridCube | you can chante the percentage of brigtness change on the powermanager | 00:03 |
| GridCube | Fudge, i know of people who uses orca, but don't use it myself | 00:04 |
| pimperle | changing the percentage doesn't affect it as well | 00:05 |
| Fudge | thanks GridCube | 00:05 |
| pimperle | it just gets darker by the same amount no matter what i choose | 00:05 |
| GridCube | mmhm | 00:05 |
| pimperle | however i use the binary ati drivers, if that matters | 00:05 |
| GridCube | it might | 00:05 |
| GridCube | doesnt ati has a config manager? | 00:06 |
| pimperle | i'm not sure, if they interfere with the display brightness, but i killed all other processes tentatively without auccess | 00:06 |
| pimperle | it has, but the power management only has two options, max power vs max saving | 00:06 |
| pimperle | and i never had that problem before | 00:06 |
| GridCube | pimperle, it should have more options on the battery or connected options | 00:07 |
| pimperle | yes, i changed thos | 00:12 |
| pimperle | strange enough, it doesn't remember my percentage setting and jumps to 20% whenever i open the dialog | 00:13 |
| GridCube | mmhm | 00:21 |
| GridCube | i seethat too | 00:21 |

| r0lling | Hello? | 01:55 |
| r0lling | .......... So if anyone is here; here is the situatoin: | 01:55 |
| r0lling | Installing xubuntu from flash drive. When I have it fully installed I restart and boot up like normal then screen freezes and it shows the damens (I think that is what they called). And all of them have the [OK] execpt for the automatic system error report which failed. It hangs there and forces me to reboot the system and every time I boot It does the same thing. This is the 3rd time I have made a clean flash drive version of Xubun | 01:58 |
| r0lling | nothing else does | 01:58 |
| r0lling | any advice other than to google it (which I have) | 01:58 |
| r0lling | and no results have helped | 01:59 |

| visitor_1 | hi there, somebody know how to disable the poping up sound bar volume? i am runnig cairo dock and it has its own sound bar so i dont want to have two of them lol | 04:30 |
| holstein | visitor_1: elaborate... take a screenie if it helps | 05:03 |
| holstein | visitor_1: i was thinking more to the channel at large... you can use http://imagebin.org/ | 05:07 |
| visitor_1 | http://imagebin.org/190361 | 05:08 |
| visitor_1 | you see on top right the big sound bar which appears when you change the sound volume on the cairo dock | 05:09 |
| visitor_1 | i only want the little sound bar on the cairo dock | 05:10 |
| holstein | visitor_1: thats going to be notifications | 05:10 |
| visitor_1 | so how can i disable them? | 05:11 |
| holstein | you can remove the package that displays *all* notifications | 05:12 |
| visitor_1 | hmm have to try that | 05:12 |
| holstein | you could search and find out what that package is called... | 05:12 |
| visitor_1 | but i also would lose xchat notification i guess | 05:12 |
| holstein | visitor_1: *all* notifications | 05:13 |

| tigerdog | hi! new to the channel but not Xubuntu, I have a question about sound. | 10:08 |
| tigerdog | should selecting a sound card listed in the Xubuntu Mixer change the default card for the system? I thought it should, but under 11.10 it does not. | 10:10 |
| knome | tigerdog, try installing and setting with pavumixer | 10:10 |
| tigerdog | pavumixer works fine here. I was wondering if this is the intended behavior for the xfce mixer or just a bug. | 10:11 |
| tigerdog | I like keeping things vanilla if possible. Mixer integration in the Indicator plugin is visually clean but not working as I'd hoped. | 10:12 |
| tigerdog | btw, thanks knome. :) | 10:12 |
| Sysi | to your actual question, I was told it should work (and that's partial reason why pavucontrol isn't included in default install) | 10:13 |
| tigerdog | thanks Sysi. Unfortuately, I have two systems here where it doesn't work. Different hardware on each but exactly the same problem. | 10:14 |
| Sysi | I wonder how pavucontrol and paprefs are different | 10:15 |
| tigerdog | paprefs appears to address the PulseAudio server; pavucontrol seems to be the mixer component. | 10:18 |
| tigerdog | anyway, it's 2:22 AM here. sleepytime. Thanks for the help Sysi and knome. | 10:22 |

| Sysi | 10.04 LTS or newest stable 11.10 | 14:55 |
| Jackneill | anyone can help me? :/ | 14:56 |
| Sysi | Jackneill: has it worked before or did you just install it? | 14:57 |
| CaelThunderwing | it does have an ATI Mobility Radeon 9100 for a vid card, 512MB ram, and a 2.66ghz (single core) | 14:57 |
| Jackneill | worked correctly and nicely before. | 14:57 |
| Jackneill | one day suddenly i got an error after login: could not update /home/jackneill/.ICEauthority file | 14:58 |
| Jackneill | i did sudo chown jackneill path to icea.. | 14:58 |
| Jackneill | then from cli, with startx it worked, i got the default ubuntu gnome desktop | 14:58 |
| Sysi | so where does it freeze? lgn screen, before? | 14:58 |
| Jackneill | with no settings | 14:58 |
| Jackneill | after restarted | 14:59 |
| Jackneill | before | 14:59 |
| popsch | what's the application to access the keyring please? I need to look up a stored password. | 14:59 |
| Jackneill | after the logo shows | 14:59 |
| Sysi | popsch: I think seahorse | 15:01 |
| Jackneill | so i hit enter in grub, after i got xubuntu and under dots | 15:01 |
| Jackneill | and then freeze. | 15:01 |
| Sysi | Jackneill: can you get to a terminal with Ctrl Alt F5 | 15:01 |
| Jackneill | i dont know | 15:01 |
| Jackneill | i think no | 15:02 |
| Jackneill | sysi: i can try it if necessary | 15:03 |
| Sysi | that would be good start, if you can login there you can try "startxfce4" | 15:04 |
| Jackneill | ok | 15:10 |
| Jackneill | sysi: it worked now lol | 15:16 |
| Jackneill | sometimes works, sometimes doesnt :/ | 15:16 |
| Kingsy | what is a decent GUI tool for checking hd / partition space and info ? | 15:17 |
| Jackneill | but i have again trouble, it was good with terminal, not it tells me choose a default program for terminal emulator | 15:17 |
| popsch | Sysi, thanks a lo | 15:17 |
| popsch | Sysi, t | 15:17 |
| Kingsy | there is nothing I can see installed by default | 15:18 |
| popsch | Kingsy, try gparted | 15:19 |
| Kingsy | thanks | 15:19 |
| Jackneill | can you help me? default xfce apps seems to be not installed, but there rae | 15:29 |
| Jackneill | are* | 15:29 |
| Kingsy | popsch: what about a GUI app to record webcam video? cheese is REALLY REALLY bad.. so i need something else | 15:32 |
| popsch | Kingsy, no clue. but try gshutter | 15:34 |
| Sysi | Jackneill: you mean selection for default apps doesn't see them? | 15:35 |
| popsch | Kingsy, google returns some hits on that | 15:35 |
| popsch | Kingsy, http://hublog.hubmed.org/archives/001852.html | 15:35 |

| Jackneill | how can i change the default selection? for eg terminal emulator? | 15:36 |
| Sysi | Jackneill: you maybe should log out and remove your personal settings when logged in to Ctrl Alt F5 terminal | 15:36 |
| Sysi | rm -rf ~/.cache && rm -rf ~/.config | 15:37 |
| Jackneill | and then? | 15:37 |
| Kingsy | popsch: do you know where gshutter is in the repos? | 15:38 |
| Kingsy | popsch: yeah I saw those hits from google.. but I wants a gui solution.. other than cheese | 15:39 |
| TheSheep | I'm pretty sure you can record with vlc | 15:40 |
| Kingsy | I think you can yeah, its not very nice tho.. I tried it and it didnt work too well.. I guess I could try it again | 15:40 |
| Kingsy | anyone know of a "computer stat / performance widget" ? which sits on the desktop or soemthing? | 15:54 |
| holstein | conky? | 15:56 |
| fivedaysahead | you can run can install htop and run that in a terminal | 15:56 |
| fivedaysahead | htop | 15:57 |
| fivedaysahead | and just keep it open | 15:57 |
| fivedaysahead | kinda not what you wanted though hmm | 15:57 |
| fivedaysahead | or you could create a shortcut key that will launch htop for you when you want it to | 15:59 |
| Kingsy | yep.. conky.. exactly what I needed | 16:00 |
| holstein | only problem with conky is that i cant stop messing with it ;) | 16:01 |
| Kingsy | let me install it.. see what the crack is | 16:01 |
| fivedaysahead | me too | 16:02 |
| fivedaysahead | gonna check this out | 16:02 |
| Paimun | Kingsy try indicator-multiload | 16:04 |
| fivedaysahead | is conky X only? | 16:05 |
| Paimun | it sits on your panel | 16:05 |
| holstein | its quite configurable | 16:06 |
| fivedaysahead | hey i have a problem getting xrandr to detect my HDMI | 16:07 |
| Kingsy | Paimun: I think I am going to try conky instead | 16:07 |
| Paimun | alright | 16:08 |
| Paimun | but the option's there | 16:08 |
| fivedaysahead | can always try htop in the terminal too | 16:08 |
| Sysi | fivedaysahead: probably driver problem, what card/driver, you're connected to TV? | 16:09 |
| fivedaysahead | it works if i start xubuntu and have the tv on and i run xrandr and it says connected and i can just run a script that changes the resolution and sets it to the left but the problem is if i start the laptop up without the monitor connected and then turn it on and run xrandr it won't ever show it's even disconnected or connected | 16:10 |
| Sysi | what if you log out after connecting? | 16:11 |
| Sysi | and relogin | 16:11 |
| fivedaysahead | like restart x? | 16:21 |
| fivedaysahead | with ctrl alt k prt screen | 16:21 |
| fivedaysahead | i don't think that seems to help i have to restart the comp with the tv on and connected | 16:21 |
| Sysi | relogin is nicer :P | 16:24 |
| fivedaysahead | i have logged out and it doesn't seem to help xrandr recognize hdmi | 16:24 |
| fivedaysahead | not sure why | 16:24 |
| Sysi | I guess it's about driver | 16:25 |
| vasundhar | Hi My client wants to use xubuntu karmic 9.10 and asked me to enhance an application. when I am compiling on current compiler,qt it does not work so need those old libraries and apt- does not work what can I do ? | 16:27 |
| fivedaysahead | hmmm should i try to intall driver for it? you think that would help | 16:27 |
| Sysi | fivedaysahead: depends what card it is | 16:28 |
| fivedaysahead | some internal laptop card | 16:28 |
| Sysi | vasundhar: get 9.10 somewhere, install on virtualbox and try to find packages.. | 16:29 |
| Sysi | fivedaysahead: lspci | grep VGA | 16:29 |
| Sysi | vasundhar: or maybe debian has old enough packages, stable or oldstable, or maybe centos | 16:30 |
| vasundhar | Sysi: I am running 9.10 but packages are big issue ... not able to find and dependencies are hell | 16:30 |
| Sysi | yeah, because it's EOL, you need to find mirror (and copy it) | 16:30 |
| Sysi | maybe this works http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ | 16:31 |
| Sysi | you should tell client he/it probably has nasty security holes | 16:32 |
| vasundhar | Sysi: Thanks alot you are saviour | 16:32 |
| fivedaysahead | oops haha i tried lspci | grep VGA via ssh i need to try it on the actual machine laughing out loud | 16:33 |
| vasundhar | I did ... tell and unfortunately there is world out there that has access to magic and assumes nothing less | 16:33 |
| vasundhar | Sysi: Can I put this URL in the source.list ? | 16:34 |
| Sysi | vasundhar: I think so, I got it from ~first hit on google | 16:35 |
| vasundhar | waw cool | 16:35 |

| fivedaysahead | tell me how | 16:37 |
| fivedaysahead | i can't tell you till the future when the weather actually happens to know if it was accurate right? :) | 16:37 |

| fivedaysahead | Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) | 16:38 |
| fivedaysahead | sysi should I install a driver for that? | 16:38 |
| Sysi | that applet broken is know bug, you should hit several fixes on google (new package from PPA or maybe proposed updates/backports, hexedit or compiling) | 16:38 |
| Sysi | fivedaysahead: nope, default should be as good as it gets | 16:38 |
| fivedaysahead | dang then why doesn't it detect my hdmi it's annoying | 16:38 |
| Sysi | fivedaysahead: you could confirm at #ubuntu and maybe make a bug report | 16:39 |
| RockTeam | Sysi, do you mean that xfce4-weather-plugin is broken? | 16:39 |
| Sysi | it possibly could be worked around with xorg.conf | 16:39 |
| Sysi | RockTeam: yeah, current build on xubuntu | 16:39 |
| fivedaysahead | hmmm i'll look into that | 16:39 |

| RockTeam | The libxfce4util is installed. | 17:08 |
| TheSheep | RockTeam: please don't paste here, use a pastebin in the future. You need the -dev packages | 17:09 |
| TheSheep | RockTeam: you can just do 'sudo apt-get build-dep xfce4-weather-plugin' to install all required dependencies | 17:10 |
| RockTeam | Sorry do you use xfce4-weather-plugin-0.7.4? I just want to be sure if it's working, | 17:12 |
| tigerdog | I just added the plugin here. It did not detect the location. when I manually entered the zip code, it allowed me to select the correct location but displayed "no data" even after refresh. | 17:14 |
| tigerdog | forecast is empty, details tab shows "99" in all entries. | 17:15 |
| tigerdog | so I'd say not working here. | 17:15 |
| tigerdog | I'm using the version shipped with Xubuntu, not sure if it's 0.7.4. | 17:15 |
| tigerdog | Xubuntu 11.10, that is. :o | 17:15 |
| RockTeam | It's not 0.7.4 sure | 17:16 |
| RockTeam | My current version is 0.7.3. I use Xubuntu 10.04 | 17:16 |
| tigerdog | how can I double-check the version. clicking "about" in the forecast panel doesn't display it. | 17:16 |
| RockTeam | You may check it into Synaptic | 17:17 |
| tigerdog | version 0.7.4-1 here. not working . | 17:17 |
| RockTeam | Ok. It's bad. | 17:18 |
| RockTeam | tigerdog, here is the reason: http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=6445 | 17:23 |
| GridCube | tigerdog, the weather channel changed its rss feed, now its suscprition only, so all things that used its feed to show weather fails now, people on xfce will work on a new thing once they have time | 17:23 |
| Kingsy | anyone in here any good with conkyrc files? I have one that I like but it doesnt appear in the right part of the screen, and I cant see where in the config you change its position.. say you wanted.. top right? bottom left? top middle? etc etc.. I have no idea how to position it | 18:02 |
| Kingsy | I can pastie the script if there is no 1 way to do it... | 18:02 |
| holstein | Kingsy: are you restarting it? | 18:02 |
| holstein | i typically fire it up in the terminal so its easy to kill... til i get it just what way i want | 18:02 |
| Sysi | I think there's plenty of different conky setups at the forums | 18:03 |
| holstein | yeah, its overload on conkyconfig's | 18:03 |
| Kingsy | holstein: when you re-save the corkyrc file it auto restarts doesn it? | 18:03 |
| Kingsy | conkyrc** | 18:03 |
| holstein | Kingsy: only one way to find out | 18:04 |
| holstein | that has not been my findings, thats why i mention it | 18:04 |
| Kingsy | holstein: I am getting a few errors on start actually, I don't know if these would contribute to some strange placement | 18:05 |
| Kingsy | http://pastie.org/3075970 | 18:05 |
| Kingsy | holstein: ^^ | 18:05 |
| holstein | Kingsy: not sure | 18:06 |
| holstein | i would start from the beginning though.. thats how i do it.. run from the terminal.. test... kill.. edit... etc | 18:07 |
| holstein | i literally cant stop messing with it when i get started ;) | 18:07 |
| Kingsy | hehe ok np, do you have a sample conkyrc file that is a good starting point? | 18:08 |
| holstein | Kingsy: i think the default one is pretty good | 18:09 |
| holstein | you should be able to trash the one you have, or search around for one that is close to what you want, and drop it in | 18:09 |
| holstein | check out crunchbang live if you want.. they have a nice implementation there | 18:09 |
| Kingsy | thats what I did, and it didnt put it in the right place. | 18:09 |
| holstein | Kingsy: i remember having trouble moving it at some point, but i sorted it out | 18:10 |
| holstein | maybe check out http://maketecheasier.com/configuring-conky-the-very-easy-way/2010/08/24 | 18:11 |
| Kingsy | thanks.. just looking it it now | 18:12 |
| Sysi | place it with devilspie if conky doesn't have own config for it | 18:16 |
| focalt | yo guys | 18:25 |

| Guest9102 | I have just installed Xubuntu on my old pc | 19:47 |
| Guest9102 | i have installed it using acpi=off | 19:47 |
| Guest9102 | or something like that (I can't remember exactly, I just looked around for a solution) | 19:47 |
| Guest9102 | all is now working correctly | 19:47 |
| Guest9102 | but my pc won't shutdown correctly | 19:48 |
| Guest9102 | it just hangs on the splash screen with the loading line | 19:48 |
| Guest9102 | it just hangs on the splash screen with the loading line moving | 19:48 |
| Guest9102 | any help? | 19:48 |
| Sysi | how long does it stay like that? | 19:49 |
| Guest9102 | forever :( | 19:50 |
| Guest9102 | I have to turn it off manually | 19:50 |
| Guest9102 | I have tried to modify | 19:50 |
| Guest9102 | my grub config | 19:50 |
| Guest9102 | adding acpi=force | 19:50 |
| Guest9102 | but it didn't work | 19:50 |
| Sysi | you need to run update-grub after changing /etc/default/grub | 19:52 |
| Sysi | and I'd try that acpi=off too | 19:52 |
| Guest9102 | yes, I did update-grub | 19:52 |
| Guest9102 | do I need to add acpi=off | 19:52 |
| Guest9102 | or acpi=force? | 19:52 |
| Sysi | you can try them, not at the same time | 19:53 |
| Guest9102 | can I ask what does acpi does? | 19:53 |
| Guest9102 | basically I couldn't install | 19:53 |
| Guest9102 | xubuntu at the first time | 19:53 |
| Guest9102 | because the splash screen was not loading | 19:53 |
| Sysi | noapic is one possible option too | 19:53 |
| Guest9102 | searching around i just added 2 commands during installation | 19:54 |
| Guest9102 | yeah, it was that! | 19:54 |
| Sysi | acpi is thermal control and powermanagment and stuff | 19:54 |
| Sysi | I'm not sure about apic but something about dealing with hardware | 19:54 |
| Guest9102 | ok, so I will try them both | 19:55 |
| Guest9102 | thank you in advance | 19:56 |
| Kingsy | anyone in here use conky? | 19:58 |
| Sysi | Kingsy: I think conky has own channel, or you could try #ubuntu or #xfce (I know some blokes at #xfce use conky even if it's not really support place for it) | 20:05 |
| Kingsy | np thanks | 20:06 |
| fivedaysahead | best webcam capture program? | 20:07 |
| fivedaysahead | nope no conky on this end just htop | 20:08 |
| fivedaysahead | Kingsy check out conky.sf.net | 20:12 |
| Sysi | he left | 20:12 |
| fivedaysahead | oh you're right | 20:14 |

| skegeek | Can I get some help with a video/graphic error I found in syslog? | 21:30 |
| GridCube | !details | 21:34 |
| ubottu | Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 21:34 |
| GridCube | if someone knows they might answer | 21:34 |
| skegeek | Sorry, I meant to provide the error as well. | 21:38 |
| skegeek | ubuntu kernel: [ 5760.646575] i915 0000:00:02.0: VGA-1: EDID block 0 invalid. | 21:38 |
| Sysi | kind of "general error", your display doesn't give some information correctly | 21:39 |
| Sysi | EDID used to be needed for something but corrupted info was so usual they made patch to ignore it | 21:40 |
| projekt26 | hey my sound sometimes just stops working. does anyone know how to fix this? | 22:14 |
| fivedaysahead | could it be your receiver?? if you have your comp hooked up to a receiver? my marantz does that all the time and it pisses me off and i have nooo way of fixing it. do you have pauvolumecontrol or whatever it's called | 22:16 |
| fivedaysahead | try installing pulsevolume control | 22:16 |
| projekt26 | nope it's not hooked up to anything | 22:17 |
| fivedaysahead | sudo apt-get install pavucontrol | 22:18 |
| fivedaysahead | try that program i was havng problems with my hdmi sound | 22:18 |
| fivedaysahead | then running that i could change the settings | 22:18 |
| holstein | projekt26: i would try playing something in VLC... something *without* flash... something *not* in the browser, just to try and isolate what the issue is | 22:21 |
| fivedaysahead | yes does it happen with different programs? | 22:22 |
| fivedaysahead | holstein: how do i enable automatic login? | 22:22 |
| projekt26 | yea I did that. it doens't play sound anywhere at all. I also installed pavucontrol as fivedaysahead suggestd and it's only showing a 'dummy output' device | 22:22 |
| fivedaysahead | could be a driver problem hmmm | 22:23 |
| fivedaysahead | i enabled it so i don't have to type the password at login but i don't know how to have it automatically login i still have to click the login button | 22:23 |
| holstein | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1588283 the second post here is the way i would try fivedaysahead | 22:23 |
| holstein | projekt26: it? | 22:23 |
| holstein | you have no audio now? | 22:23 |
| projekt26 | yes I don't have audio now | 22:24 |
| projekt26 | if I reboot audio is back however | 22:24 |
| holstein | i used to have an alsa fix... a restart... lemee look | 22:24 |
| fivedaysahead | sudo apt-get install alsa-base maybe? idk | 22:25 |
| holstein | projekt26: something like /sbin/alsa force-reload | 22:26 |
| holstein | my sound would die, and i would run this command that i set as a desktop shortcut... but thats been a while | 22:26 |
| projekt26 | holstein: I have tried that already, as well as some other 'fixes' I found via google. none worked | 22:26 |
| projekt26 | ah well, I guess I will just reboot more often | 22:27 |
| holstein | projekt26: try other kernels, and other alsa version | 22:27 |
| holstein | sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload should work | 22:27 |
| holstein | whats the error after you try that? | 22:27 |
| holstein | the messages | 22:27 |
| projekt26 | well it doesn't work | 22:27 |
| projekt26 | no error.. it just shows the unloading and the reloading | 22:27 |
| holstein | projekt26: and after that, you card is not available in pavucontrol?.. i seem to remember that killing my audio device | 22:28 |
| holstein | just opening pavucontrol would kill this particular VIA audio device | 22:28 |
| fivedaysahead | no such file or directory when i try to edit that gdm file i'm on xubuntu with xfce that doesn't use gdm doesn't it use lightdm or lightgdm or something? | 22:30 |
| holstein | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1864527 maybe | 22:31 |
| projekt26 | holstein: nope same thing, just a dummy device. but it seems that this can not be easily fixed so I will just go with rebooting before I change something and kill my auio for good. thanks for your help | 22:31 |
| holstein | right.. if your troubleshooting looks like this... force alsa reload, then run pavucontrol, that is what was killing my audio device | 22:32 |
| projekt26 | ok I found a way to fix it: pulseaudio --kill followed by pulseaudio --start | 22:39 |
| holstein | thats pretty easy | 22:40 |
| fivedaysahead | very nice | 22:40 |
| fivedaysahead | lightdm.conf was what i needed to fix for automatic login | 22:40 |
| fivedaysahead | how do i reset grub 2? | 22:40 |
| holstein | reset? | 22:41 |
| holstein | sudo update-grub you mean? | 22:41 |
| fivedaysahead | maybe? | 22:41 |
| fivedaysahead | i installed xubuntu and then installed mint and now it defaults to mint i installed startmanager to try to make it default to mint but it almost worked but doesn't select the right xubuntu it selects the memory test and idk why i have it set to use the right xubuntu but for some reason it selects the memory test | 22:42 |
| holstein | i dont know what startmanager is, but sometimes i just go in after installing and run sudo update-grub and all is well | 22:43 |
| mongy | fivedaysahead, I boot to whatever I want as default and run sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 22:44 |
| mongy | then the obligatory update-grub of course | 22:45 |
| holstein | yup ^^ that should get you what you want, and give you the option to boot everything | 22:45 |
| fivedaysahead | so what does sudo update-grub do? | 22:45 |
| mongy | fivedaysahead, populate your boot menu with everything | 22:46 |
| holstein | other installations (new ones) | 22:46 |
| fivedaysahead | thanks | 22:47 |
| CrownWheel | Hey, channel. I've got an issue with the Thunar file manager. | 23:33 |
| CrownWheel | It will not display the contents of my home directory, as in /home/ubuntu | 23:33 |
| CrownWheel | It originally failed with "Error stating file '/home/.gvfs " | 23:35 |
| CrownWheel | ls -l of my /home revealed screwed up permissions for .gvfs, just as described in the old Fedora post. | 23:36 |
| CrownWheel | Apparently whatever error affected .gvfs also affects /etc/mtab, which now exhibits similarly corrupted permissions flags. | 23:37 |
| CrownWheel | umount .gvfs worked to restore sensible permissions, as reported by ls -l | 23:37 |
| CrownWheel | I noticed that permissions to .bash_history were also corrupted. | 23:38 |
| CrownWheel | this reads: | 23:38 |
| CrownWheel | -????????? ? ? ? ? ? .bash_history | 23:39 |
| CrownWheel | an explicit ls -l .bash_history results in: | 23:40 |
| CrownWheel | ls: cannot access .bash_history: Input/output error | 23:40 |
| CrownWheel | To tie this back to Thunar, after "fixing" the permissions flags with "umount .gvfs", Thunar still can't display the contents of /home/ubuntu, failing with: | 23:41 |
| CrownWheel | Error stating file '/home/ubuntu/.bash_history': Input/output error. | 23:42 |
| CrownWheel | So, the forums seem to think this is an old and well known bug in Thunar | 23:42 |
| CrownWheel | (the Fedora solution was to close the bug report, since it was reported for Fedora 9, which would not be supported much longer at the time of the post...) | 23:43 |
| CrownWheel | And the powers that be, behind Ubuntu, seem to think that Thunar is the greatest thing since colorized ls. So, is this problem solved...somewhere? | 23:44 |
| CrownWheel | Can I make Thunar stop trying to use WHATEVER .gvfs is and just display some files? | 23:44 |
