| pwnedulongtime_ | anyone having a problem in 11.10 with xfce power manager not respecting the AC lid close preference? | 01:10 |

| holstein | pwnedulongtime: make sure you have it set for the mode you are in | 01:17 |
| holstein | plugged in or on battery | 01:17 |
| pwnedulongtime | nevermind | 01:18 |
| pwnedulongtime | dconf-tools solved it | 01:18 |
| holstein | :) | 01:18 |
| pwnedulongtime | should be part of the default install really | 01:19 |
| holstein | pwnedulongtime: *-devel would be a place i would start grinding an axe like that... maybe the devel mailing list | 01:19 |

| tappi | i get the splash screen, and pick the "install xubuntu" option, after that i get the xubuntu logo for a second and a ash shell loads | 15:01 |

| charlie-tca | Make it read only, as in r--r--r-- | 18:57 |
| charlie-tca | But even that is not foolproof for those with the password | 18:57 |
| charlie-tca | It just stops any accidental changes, and cause the system to fail because sometimes root needs to be able to change files | 18:57 |
| Guest31464 | charlie-tca: i want to try block autorun in this way on my usb-drive and then use it on windows machins with troyans an viruses .. | 18:59 |
| charlie-tca | That's easy in Linux. Make it owned by root. But I don't know how you will do it using it on windows. that would be better asked in ##windows | 19:00 |
| Guest31464 | charlie-tca: i know tha there is some permission that blok editind to anyone. for root too. in grub files for example as i know in last ubuntu. what this permission/ | 19:03 |
| Guest31464 | ? | 19:03 |
| holstein | Guest31464: root should be able to change those permissions back, or whatever | 19:04 |

| SpiKe_Spiegel | hi everyone | 21:00 |
| SpiKe_Spiegel | Is someone else using Spotify with Xubuntu ? | 21:01 |
| holstein | last time i checked, i wasnt 'allowed'.. whats the issue SpiKe_Spiegel ? | 21:02 |
| SpiKe_Spiegel | I can't access Spotify menubar - and the Spotify indicator is blinking when I click on the menu | 21:02 |
| SpiKe_Spiegel | I don't have the globalmenu plugin installed | 21:03 |
| holstein | you could ask in #opensourcemusicians | 21:03 |
| holstein | for things like that, i usually look for something to remove from the /home directory... some config file that has gotten funky | 21:03 |
| SpiKe_Spiegel | I'll ask them, thanks for the channel | 21:03 |
| holstein | SpiKe_Spiegel: why cant you access the menu? | 21:04 |
| SpiKe_Spiegel | I already tried to remove config files | 21:04 |
| holstein | can you hold alt and drag the window around? | 21:04 |
| SpiKe_Spiegel | I can access every menu but Spotify's one | 21:04 |
| SpiKe_Spiegel | yep for alt | 21:04 |
| holstein | and i assume you've reinstalled... | 21:04 |
| SpiKe_Spiegel | yep | 21:05 |
| holstein | not sure.. its tough with partially developed and supported apps like that | 21:05 |
| SpiKe_Spiegel | also, I don't have any error in console | 21:05 |
| SpiKe_Spiegel | With Archlinux + Xfce, everything's OK, so this is really a Xubuntu issue | 21:06 |
| ubuntu_ | hey guys | 21:06 |
| ubuntu_ | I need help | 21:06 |
| ubuntu_ | someone here? | 21:06 |
| ubuntu_ | how can help me? | 21:06 |
| ubuntu_ | Rightnow I'm on the boot menu | 21:07 |
| ubuntu_ | And I click 100 times on install xubuntu shortcut at my desktop and It doesn't do anything | 21:07 |
| ubuntu_ | what can I do? | 21:07 |
| ubuntu_ | .?>...... | 21:08 |
| Myrtti | please have patience | 21:08 |
| holstein | SpiKe_Spiegel: im not disagreeing with you, however, there are different version of pacakges in xubuntu and arch for spotify to 'disagree' with | 21:08 |
| Unit193 | ubuntu_: One option would be to reboot and select "Install Xubuntu" | 21:08 |
| ubuntu_ | It's 23:00 night here at my country so It's hard to be patiend when you have to go to school at 7 am.. | 21:08 |
| ubuntu_ | I did it | 21:09 |
| charlie-tca | ubuntu_: right click the shortcut, and wait for it to appear. Then left-click "execute" in the top of the menu that appears | 21:09 |
| ubuntu_ | ok | 21:09 |
| ubuntu_ | just a minute | 21:09 |
| holstein | ubuntu_: that is not the issue of anyone here... we are not paid for our services... your patients will be rewarded :) | 21:09 |
| holstein | ubuntu_: you can always try downloading and using the alternate ISO to install | 21:10 |
| ubuntu_ | It's not open again | 21:10 |
| holstein | there are a couple ways to install from that live CD... you can choose install from the menu at boot | 21:10 |
| ubuntu_ | Ok and sorry | 21:10 |
| SpiKe_Spiegel | you can also boot the live session and then install | 21:10 |
| ubuntu_ | But I want to format my computer.. | 21:11 |
| ubuntu_ | A clean Installation.. | 21:11 |
| ubuntu_ | is there is a way to run it from the terminal? | 21:11 |
| ubuntu_ | thank you very much for your help! | 21:12 |
| holstein | ubuntu_: you can format from the installer | 21:12 |
| holstein | no reason not to | 21:12 |
| ubuntu_ | I want to format my hard drive | 21:13 |
| Myrtti | SpiKe_Spiegel: btw you haven't even told us if you're running Spotify in Wine or if you're running the native Linux version - in anycase people in the #spotify may have a better idea what's going on. Possibly. | 21:13 |
| charlie-tca | Which can be done with any of the above methods to install | 21:13 |
| charlie-tca | ubuntu_: it doesn't matter how the installer runs, formatting can still be done | 21:13 |
| ubuntu_ | okkk | 21:14 |
| holstein | ubuntu_: right.. the installer will do that | 21:14 |
| ubuntu_ | I'll try to format from ubuntu | 21:14 |
| ubuntu_ | thank you....! | 21:14 |
| ubuntu_ | bye bye have a good night/day! | 21:14 |
| SpiKe_Spiegel | Myrtti, I'm running the native client, I'll check the spotify channel (didn't know this channel exists :/ ) | 21:16 |
| liron_ | Hey I'm back | 21:27 |
| liron_ | I'm at Ubuntu now | 21:27 |
| liron_ | How I run the install on it? | 21:27 |
| liron_ | Someone can help me on how to run Xubuntu Installation from a disc???? | 21:28 |
| liron_ | Without boot? thanks.. | 21:28 |
| charlie-tca | without booting the cd? | 21:29 |
| charlie-tca | That could be difficult | 21:29 |
| liron_ | On my Ubuntu | 21:29 |
| liron_ | If I try to booting the cd | 21:29 |
| liron_ | I click on Install Xubuntu | 21:29 |
| liron_ | It's open me a operation system | 21:29 |
| liron_ | And then I CLick around 100 times on INstall xubuntu | 21:30 |
| liron_ | and nothing happened.. | 21:30 |
| Unit193 | You're in Ubuntu with Gnome/Unity? If so, I'd try a !purexfce (Though, I prefer a clean install) | 21:30 |
| liron_ | what can I do? | 21:30 |
| liron_ | I prefer to | 21:30 |
| liron_ | what is !pruexfce? | 21:30 |
| Unit193 | !purexfce | 21:30 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 21:30 |
| liron_ | You recommand me to try to boot from the disc? | 21:30 |
| liron_ | and to try to do it again? | 21:31 |
| genii-around | !debootstrap | 21:31 |
| ubottu | debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information | 21:31 |
| liron_ | I think it's the best thing that I can to do | 21:31 |

| autif | gry2 - try /var/log/ | 21:36 |
| autif | there should be several dmesg.log files | 21:36 |
| autif | likewise, /var/log/ also has older kern.log file (kern.log.1, kern.log.2.gz etc) | 21:37 |
| gry2 | hm | 21:38 |
| gry2 | autif, kern.log is the latest one though or? | 21:39 |
| autif | yes, kern.log is the current boot - the one after the reboot | 21:39 |
| autif | i take that back - apparently one one boot cycle can span several kern.log files and one kern.log file can have several boot cycles. So, your best bet is to look for something at the start of all the kernel messages in a new boot cycle | 21:43 |
| autif | on my machine it is log source = /proc/kmsg | 21:43 |
| TVasEyes | autif, gry2: the timestamps in (kern)log files should help. | 21:45 |
| gry2 | dmesg doesn't appear to have anything relevant at all, relevant part of kern.log is http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1446909 (I still don't understand if it contains the crash or not, but it's the part for today AND before the new boot) | 21:51 |
| autif | gry2 - sorry, it seems like everything looks fine in that part of the log (There is a stacktrace around line 218 - i am not sure what that is all about) | 22:00 |
| autif | It is not a kernel crash though | 22:00 |

| gry2 | autif: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1447001 is /var/log/dmesg; other dmesg files are too old, not modified today, so not relevant either | 22:22 |
| gry2 | oh, it didn't fit the paste size, http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1447008 is the rest of it | 22:23 |
| gry2 | autif: (if you have idea where to find the crash logs please let me know, I'm searching on the web but that does not work very well) | 22:57 |
