[01:11] <s3raph> hey guys; I'm having a problem with weird `kill` problem, could anyone lend a hand?
[01:12] <knome> !ask | s3raph
[01:12] <s3raph> that works xD
[01:15] <s3raph> okay so, when I try and `kill pid`, i just get a '>' subprompt, and the process is still running; now if I do something like `strace kill pid`, the process is terminated, and I get no subprompt.
[01:15] <s3raph> ^oh, sorry, that happens for both root and non-root users.
[01:16] <s3raph> !patience
[01:20] <Marzata> xkill?
[01:21] <s3raph> Marzata: what do you mean?
[02:28] <dbrimr> I keep getting a "Failed to mount 'Filesystem Name' / Not Authorized" error in xfce4. How can I fix this?
[02:30] <GridCube> !details | dbrimr
[02:31] <dbrimr> I plug in a USB HDD. It appears as an icon on the desktop, but when I click it the aforementioned error pops up. I can't find the HDD under /dev or I'd just manually do it.
[02:32] <dbrimr> I'm using Ubuntu Studio 11.10 (not actually Xubuntu, but it's on xfce4).
[02:32] <GridCube> yes
[02:32] <GridCube> you used that usb on windows before?
[02:33] <dbrimr> No, I haven't used Windows in years.
[02:33] <dbrimr> I've used it in several prior versions of Linux, though.
[02:33] <dbrimr> Mostly (if not all) *buntu.
[02:35] <GridCube> i've had that problem, it can be put down to a few options, one its mbr table got corrupted, another is that the usb cable is broken, another is that its usb port is broken, another is that the drive is not getting enough energy from the computer
[02:35] <GridCube> the only solution i've found to the corruption part is formating the drive
[02:38] <dbrimr> If the cable or port was broken, how would it even show as an icon in the first place?
[02:38] <dbrimr> As for power, it has its own power.
[02:38] <holstein> the drive or partiion can be bad
[02:40] <dbrimr> The drive works fine on another machine.
[02:41] <holstein> dbrimr: maybe test it wheil you have it mounted on that other machine
[02:41] <holstein> make sure its showing up in fdisk -l
[02:41] <holstein> try mounting via the commandline
[02:43] <dbrimr> fdisk showed it, got it via CLI. Thanks!
[04:10] <totesmuhgoats> hey guys, i am running xubuntu 11.10, initially it was ubuntu and i uninstalled unity and installed the xubuntu-desktop package
[04:10] <totesmuhgoats> i am trying to use gigolo but it doesn't list any servers
[04:10] <nanotube> hey, welcome to the club totesmuhgoats
[04:11] <totesmuhgoats> i think i might be missing some packages
[04:11] <totesmuhgoats> is there anything i need to install to use gigolo?
[04:11] <totesmuhgoats> when i click the connect to server button the only thing i see in the drop down list is "custom location"
[04:11] <totesmuhgoats> nothing about windows shares or anything like i see in the screenshots
[04:13] <totesmuhgoats> nevermind, i figured it out
[04:13] <totesmuhgoats> i was missing gvfs-backends
[04:13] <totesmuhgoats> i had all the other gvfs and fuse packages
[04:13] <totesmuhgoats> but that was the missing link
[04:16] <Unit193> Do you have gvfs-backends?
[04:16] <Unit193> Yeah, nevermind, I skimmed too fast
[04:16] <totesmuhgoats> lol, i thought you were joking
[04:17] <totesmuhgoats> thanks though

[07:46] <SkyNetMaster> h, it is very confusing with bugg reporting :) could you advice where to report xubuntu bugs?
[07:51] <TheSheep> !bugs
[07:52] <SkyNetMaster> TheSheep, but there is nothing about xubuntu
[07:52] <TheSheep> xubuntu falls into "any of its derivatives"
[07:56] <SkyNetMaster> ok, maybe I am just sleepy stil, but can't find a place to report new bug :/

[11:35] <freedom7> hi all
[11:40] <chelz> freedom7: hi
[11:41] <freedom7> cheerx chelz
[11:41] <freedom7> cheerz
[11:41] <Kingsy> what is going on with samba in xubuntu? "sometimes" when I click on network in the file explorer you can see the network.. other times the windows network folder is empty..
[11:41] <Kingsy> why??
[11:41] <freedom7> cant decide if i like xfce session better than xubuntu
[11:42] <Kingsy> its sooo annoying, I need to browse the network and today its just deciding not to show anything
[11:48] <Kingsy> can anyone help?
[11:51] <chelz> Kingsy: there are various terminal tools to view smb things
[11:51] <chelz> like smbmount
[11:53] <Kingsy> chelz: can you give me some things I can check for to get this working?
[11:56] <chelz> Kingsy: do you know the ip for the smb server and do you have to use a login+pass?
[11:59] <Kingsy> chelz: the smb server? sorry I don't follow.. its just a standard windows network.. i.e I have shared some files on a windows pc and I want to view them through xubuntu
[11:59] <chelz> Kingsy: right yeah, the ip of the windows computer
[11:59] <chelz> Kingsy: i mean does restarting your xubuntu work?
[12:00] <Kingsy> chelz: hmm I havent tried restarting..
[12:01] <Kingsy> I have the local ip address for the computer I want to connect to.. can I connect to it manually? i.e the windows equiv would be   Start->Run      //192.168.0.14
[12:03] <chelz> Kingsy: open up a folder, in Thunar
[12:03] <chelz> then do ctrl+L
[12:03] <chelz> then do smb://192.168.0.14
[12:04] <Kingsy> chelz: it said --> smb://192.168.1.108/   <-- failed to open   (sorry it was 1.108, not 0.14 I got it wrong)
[12:05] <chelz> open up a terminal and try to ping that ip
[12:05] <chelz> ping 192.168.1.108
[12:06] <Kingsy> chelz: yeah I can ping it
[12:09] <chelz> ah
[12:09] <chelz> ok try
[12:09] <chelz> smbclient -L 192.168.1.108
[12:09] <chelz> if you need a username do
[12:10] <chelz> smbclient -U user -L 192.168.1.108
[12:13] <Kingsy> chelz: protocol negotiation failed: ERRnomem
[12:14] <chelz> Kingsy: put some -vvv on there and paste.ubuntu.com it
[12:14] <Kingsy> np
[12:15] <Kingsy> chelz: it still just says protocol negotiation failed: ERRnomem even with a -v
[12:17] <chelz> hmm
[12:18] <Kingsy> chelz: yup.. I have always had problems with samba.. it seems to just work when it feels like it.. haha
[12:18] <chelz> Kingsy: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=96862
[12:18] <chelz> might be a netbios name thing
[12:18] <chelz> also seems doing some registry thing on the server might help. that thread links to various fixes to try
[12:19] <chelz> if you end up fixing it from one of those, i'd be curious which fix it ended up being
[12:20] <chelz> this is linked to from the thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1169149
[12:20] <chelz> has stuff about workgroup and netbios name
[12:21] <Kingsy> hmm let me see
[12:23] <Kingsy> chelz: how do you restart samba on xubuntu? its not in init.d
[12:24] <Kingsy> as far as I can see anyways
[12:28] <Kingsy> lol wtf samba just doesnt exist.. but I have the config files.
[12:28] <chelz> gvs samba thing
[12:28] <chelz> some plugin
[12:28] <chelz> not sure how it works
[12:32] <Kingsy> chelz: is there a way of printing out sambas current config from the cmd line?
[12:38] <chelz> Kingsy: should be in a smb.conf somewhere i'd think
[12:39] <Kingsy> chelz: there is but the changes didnt do anything..
[12:39] <Kingsy> nm I guess this question is more of a #samba one :)
[12:39] <Kingsy> chelz: thanks for the help tho
[12:40] <chelz> Kingsy: yeah samba is really tricky
[12:40] <chelz> esp with mswindows involved
[12:42] <Kingsy> i hate it.. its like it has a brain and thinks.. "naaaa I don't think I am going to bother working for you today"
[12:45] <chelz> Kingsy: well you could try setting up some other kind of sharing
[12:45] <chelz> i think filezilla has a free ftp server for mswindows
[12:46] <chelz> just i've never maintained a linux/windows smb/cifs setup. only linux/osx. at least on osx stuff basically works once you set it up, but with mswindows i hear updates can break it
[12:47] <Kingsy> yup.. its GAY
[15:15] <davy> hello i'm new
[15:20] <autif> !hi|davy
[15:21] <davy> thanks ubottu!
[15:22] <davy> does it exist other xubuntu theme?
[15:22] <davy> hi autif
[15:26] <TheSheep> davy: sure, see xfce-look.org
[15:31] <davy> ok thanks!
[15:31] <davy> why a mouse in xubuntu logo?
[15:31] <davy> what is his meaning?
[15:34] <charlie-tca> link to xfce, the desktop environment used by Xubuntu
[15:51] <autif> davy - world domination and monsters and such
[15:57] <charlie-tca> davy: Xfce used the mouse as their mascot until last year.
[15:59] <davy> yeah but why a mouse? why not a lion, cat or other?
[16:08] <charlie-tca> Because they wanted a mouse?
[16:37] <IdanSuper> Someone can help me?
[16:37] <charlie-tca> !helpme
[16:37] <charlie-tca> !anyone
[16:38] <IdanSuper> I have a button on my desktop with an icon called "Xubuntu install
[16:38] <charlie-tca> Please ask the real question so if someone knows, they can answer you.
[16:39] <IdanSuper> And I click on it around 100 times and nothing happens
[16:40] <charlie-tca> IdanSuper: weren't in here yesterday with a different name?
[16:40] <IdanSuper> Yes right
[16:41] <IdanSuper> yesterday and today morning
[16:41] <charlie-tca> and also asking the same things in other channels?
[16:42] <IdanSuper> yes only now by a mistake :(
[16:42] <charlie-tca> Okay, so right-click that install icon, left-click execute and wait for a few minutes to see if the installer runs
[16:43] <charlie-tca> Depending on the computer, it can take several minutes to get the installer screen
[16:44] <charlie-tca> If it doesn't come up in 5 minutes, I would say you have a bad cd, and should try burning a new one
[16:44] <pangolin> checking the md5sum before burning
[16:44] <pangolin> just to make sure
[16:44] <IdanSuper> OKK
[16:46] <IdanSuper> nothing happend... And I have Ubuntu installed on my computer.... Its because it?>
[16:47] <IdanSuper> and I try to run the commend apt-get unistall everything and It say that nothing was installed
[16:47] <charlie-tca> so, thats not even 5 minutes
[16:47] <IdanSuper> no :(
[16:47] <charlie-tca> I would say download the cd again, and burn a new one
[16:47] <pangolin> what command did you run exactly?
[16:48] <IdanSuper> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce
[16:48] <IdanSuper> That one (Ubuntu)
[16:49] <pangolin> ok so you want to remove Xubuntu?
[16:49] <pangolin> IdanSuper: problem here is that we are unclear on what it is you want to do.
[18:05] <Novice> Hey guys, can anyone tell help me with some things?  I am having trouble.
[18:06] <pleia2> Novice: feel free to go ahead and ask your questions, if people know the answer they'll chime in
[18:06] <Novice> Thank you.
[18:07] <Novice> Could someone help me understand what a key ring is.  Also, I have been feeling weird, like some wise guy is trying to hack my network.  How can I be sure it is not being hacked?
[18:12] <Novice> Was that too much?
[18:12] <Pici> Why do you think you're being hacked?
[18:14] <Novice> strange services were running in windows that really bogged my computer down
[18:15] <Pici> Novice: well, we don't provide Windows support here. You'd need to ask the folks in ##windows for help with that.
[18:15] <Novice> My screen would flash periodically
[18:16] <Pici> As for the keyring, its sort of like a password safe, in that it keeps track of application authentication and other passwords on the system ( like wifi passwords )
[18:16] <Novice> What services would I look for in the take manager (in xubuntu) that would be red flags?
[18:17] <Novice> task*
[18:17] <Pici> That question isn't really answerable. Is there something in particular that you don't recognize.
[18:18] <Novice> Last night there was, let me check again, and thanks for the help.
[18:22] <Novice> usr/bin/X :0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root  ----  In short
[18:25] <Pici> Novice: Thats the process that spawns your login manager.
[18:25] <Novice> Thank you, I am sorry for the rudimentary questions, but I really want to learn this.
[18:27] <Novice> But, the rest of the command is:  /:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswith -backround none
[18:28] <Novice> And I know tcp and vt7 are associated with network connections
[18:28] <autif> those would be the command line options passed to the application X
[18:28] <Novice> Ok.  Cool man.
[18:28] <Novice> Thanks.
[21:20] <n2diy> I lost the sound from my speakers recently, is there something I can try restarting to get it back?
[21:21] <autif> try pavucontrol
[22:13] <holstein> n2diy: you can mute from the keyboard, but not unmute
[22:17] <n2diy> holstein, ok, what is the solution, restart alsa, logout?
[22:18] <holstein> n2diy: use the GUI
[22:18] <holstein> assuming thta is the issue
[22:19] <n2diy> holstein, ok, nothing is muted in the alsa-mixer window.
[22:20] <holstein> n2diy: then that might not have been the cause
[22:20] <holstein> you can run in a terminal
[22:20] <holstein> aplay -l
[22:20] <holstein> if you see somethiing return, then you *should* be getting sound
[22:20] <holstein> when i say "try the GUI' i literally mean the little picture of the speaker up by the time
[22:47] <mongy> nothing to do with it but, as a 'bug' of using pulseaudio-equalizer on xubuntu I can't use my media keys to adjust volume.  It adjusts the master volume according to alsamixer but does nothing to actual volume, like it does in reg ubuntu.  it's no great problem.
[22:48] <TheSheep> mongy: I think you can set the 'main' channel in the xfce4-mixer
[22:48] <TheSheep> mongy: the one that will be modified by the media keys
[22:48] <mongy> set it
[22:49] <mongy> set it as alsa, master, pcm, headphones etc volumes, and then set to pulse and set master.
[22:49] <mongy> as soon as I use the eq, doesnt work.
[22:49] <mongy> using pulse its fine, just the EQ
[22:49] <mongy> for some reason it doesn't work quite the same in xfce
[22:50] <TheSheep> mongy: no, I mean the properties dialog of the mixer panel applet
[22:50] <mongy> it's not biggie, just saying.
[22:50] <mongy> properties?
[22:50] <mongy> where?
[22:51] <mongy> all I see are soundcard selection and select controls
[22:51] <TheSheep> mongy: right-click on the speaker icon in the panel, select properties
[22:51] <mongy> no such
[22:51] <mongy> its an idicator
[22:51] <TheSheep> there are two dropdowns, 'sound card' and 'mixer track'
[22:51] <TheSheep> then add it to the panel
[22:52] <mongy> ahhh
[22:52] <mongy> a different mixer
[22:53] <TheSheep> not sure if it will help
[22:53] <mongy> that's better.  thank you
[22:54] <mongy> its funny because I added that volume to panel before and it launched the same volume applet, just did not give the same right click properties.
[22:55] <TheSheep> the indicator plugin is quite new
[22:55] <TheSheep> it doesn't have all the features yet
[22:56] <mongy> actually, it's not perfect
[22:59] <mongy> nevermind.  I have pavucontrol icon set next to it as I use it to mute mythtv when  I am watcning tv but listening to music....
[23:13] <astartoth> hi all
[23:13] <Marzata> hi all +1
[23:15] <astartoth> small problem using xubuntu, some parts of XFCE still display in english, not my default locale, pt_PT.UTF-8
[23:16] <astartoth> I did it all: deleted unwanted locales, regenerated default locale, reinstalled locales, reinstalled language-support-base and language-support-pt. Am I to assume that XFCE isn't completely translated?
[23:19] <Marzata> no system is completely translated.
[23:20] <astartoth> probably it's best to switch to en_US
