| CrownWheel | Xubuntu channel, I've just had the filesystem on my 3rd Live "install" start to die on me. | 01:34 |
|---|---|---|
| CrownWheel | output from sudo df is: | 01:35 |
| CrownWheel | df: cannot read table of mounted file systems: Input/output error | 01:35 |
| CrownWheel | ls -ls of /etc shows corrupted permissions for mtab: | 01:35 |
| CrownWheel | -????????? ? ? ? ? ? mtab | 01:36 |
| CrownWheel | similar corruption affects ~/.gvfs | 01:36 |
| CrownWheel | and ~/.bash-history | 01:36 |
| CrownWheel | `sudo umount .gvfs` restores permissions to ~/.gvfs but not .bash-history or mtab. | 01:38 |
| CrownWheel | As far as I've observed, this is the first symptom of a dying filesystem. A couple more boot cycles and the Live distribution will fail, throwing dozens of "ext2-fs deleted inode" type errors at boottime. | 01:39 |
| CrownWheel | so, what uses GVFS? How can I disable it? It seems to be doing vastly more harm than good. | 01:40 |
| TVasEyes | all the auto-mount stuff uses gvfs. beyond that, don't know. | 01:43 |
| CrownWheel | auto mount...as in auto-mounting USB drive filesystems? | 01:44 |
| TVasEyes | yes. | 01:44 |
| CrownWheel | okay. so if I manage to kill GVFS, I'll have to mount those manually. | 01:44 |
| CrownWheel | I'm not clear on how the Live USB drive does it. it runs a filessytem in a "casper-rw" file. But nothing I've read about the casper system relates to GVFS. | 01:45 |
| TVasEyes | don't know about casper either, gvfs is involved with auto-mounted usb, cds and dvds. presumably, there's much more to it though. | 01:47 |
| CrownWheel | a'ight. I'm going to reboot this thing and see how quickly it self-destructs. | 01:48 |
| TVasEyes | :) | 01:48 |
| CrownWheel | And, yes. This Live install is on its way out. | 02:03 |
| CrownWheel | GVFS corruption is back. mtab corruption persists across shutdown/restart cycle. | 02:03 |
| CrownWheel | W.T.F.? | 02:04 |
| TVasEyes | CrownWheel: what kind og 'puter are you using? | 02:12 |
| TVasEyes | s/og/of/ | 02:12 |
| sp4z | hi my pc is failing to load it appears to hand on the stopping mount network filesystems during boot(although this does get an ok next to it) any ideas? | 05:30 |

| sp4z | i can still access the other tty's etc so its not frozen just will not load past that point | 05:32 |

| timhurd | Hi guys, I have a problem with audio and video playback being very choppy on a fresh install of Xubuntu 11.10. Hopefully someone could help me out with this | 11:41 |
| olbi | hello | 13:06 |
| olbi | I have found big problems in Xubuntu | 13:06 |
| olbi | it is owner problem of /home/owner/.local/share and all of these directories, after some installations, it sets owner too root | 13:07 |
| olbi | I will check this some times yet and type this here | 13:08 |
| slakcphil | I have got to say. Xubuntu 11.10 is the stizzuff! | 13:45 |
| slakcphil | I was on a distro hop for my Toshiba Laptop and It was looking grim, then along comes xubuntu with no unity detected all my network cards and the installer was cool, i am stick with the xu | 13:47 |
| GridCube | ;D | 13:51 |
| slakcphil | hmm, kernel not detecting all of my ram.. I have one 2gb stick and here is my /proc/meminfo ==> http://pastebin.com/kNs1RFRU | 14:36 |
| slakcphil | i am running 11.10 64bit | 14:37 |
| holstein | slakcphil: is it a laptop? | 14:37 |
| holstein | a toshiba satellite i suppose? | 14:38 |
| slakcphil | yes it is, a toshiba satellite C655D | 14:38 |
| holstein | slakcphil: how much is shared with your graphics? | 14:38 |
| slakcphil | hmm, that i don't know | 14:38 |
| holstein | that sounds normal assuming a bit is shared with the graphics card | 14:38 |
| slakcphil | ok that could be, i just remember in scientific linux that there was a bug and it was saying 256 uncacheable | 14:39 |
| holstein | slakcphil: this looks normal to me | 14:40 |
| slakcphil | even in htop it shows that total avail memory is at 1603mb | 14:41 |
| holstein | slakcphil: right | 14:41 |
| GridCube | that sounds about right | 14:41 |
| holstein | slakcphil: if its shared with the graphics card, it wont show there... | 14:42 |
| slakcphil | ah ok, well How much does the graphics card need? I am running the fglrx driver.. | 14:42 |
| holstein | slakcphil: thats up to you... i say set it low, and bump it up as needed | 14:42 |
| slakcphil | bump it up? | 14:43 |
| slakcphil | like add more? | 14:43 |
| holstein | of course, why do you need more than 1.6GB's in the system | 14:43 |
| slakcphil | yeah i found another 2gb stick for cheap | 14:43 |
| holstein | bump it up = slakcphil: increase the ammount of ram the graphics card is alloted | 14:43 |
| holstein | slakcphil: thats not what i mean, though thats fine as well, assuming you want/need more memory | 14:44 |
| slakcphil | how do i go about doing that? in catalyst control | 14:44 |
| holstein | slakcphil: in the bios typically | 14:44 |
| slakcphil | ah ok | 14:44 |
| holstein | and all those are different on a per machine basis | 14:44 |
| holstein | i literally wouldnt bother with it | 14:44 |
| slakcphil | yeah i probably wont, | 14:45 |
| holstein | you can look in there if you want to see for yourself that this is not a kernel bug, and that the graphics card is indeed sharing memory | 14:45 |
| slakcphil | i did disable my touchpad in the bios and still get weird errors in syslog.. | 14:45 |
| holstein | slakcphil: i say, choose your battles... if you would like to enable the touchpad, and troubleshoot it or whatever... | 14:46 |
| slakcphil | http://pastebin.com/bYkbgxLJ | 14:46 |
| slakcphil | yeah that is what shows up in syslog, i can't enable the touchpad because it is so annoying.. | 14:46 |
| holstein | slakcphil: what was the issue? what settings did you change? have you tried live CD's? such as 10.04, and the upcoming 12.04 in particular?... | 14:47 |
| slakcphil | with the touchpad? it is physically annoying, it sits flush with the palm rest and when typing drags and clicks and all that stuff | 14:48 |
| holstein | http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/toshiba-satellite-c655d-s5210-freezes-under-kubuntu-and-linux-mint-892628/ suggests acpi=off | 14:49 |
| slakcphil | unless xubuntu has the ability to disable the touchpad's tap to click feature.. | 14:49 |
| holstein | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1469754 | 14:50 |
| slakcphil | rtl8192c: Loading firmware file rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin <== i have been getting this in syslog about once every minute.. | 14:51 |
| slakcphil | let me check those out real quick.. | 14:51 |
| holstein | slakcphil: you'll get messages there... not all are messages to bother with | 14:51 |
| slakcphil | :) | 14:51 |

| pertutatis | hi | 15:48 |
| pertutatis | anyone know how to enable thumbnails on the desktop? | 15:48 |
| autif | Menu -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Desktop -> Icons? | 15:53 |
| pertutatis | i dont see where to enable it | 15:54 |
| pertutatis | there | 15:54 |
| hobgoblin | pertutatis: thumbnails of what exactly ? | 15:55 |
| pertutatis | thumbnails to see what picture I am opening for example | 15:56 |
| pertutatis | I cant find the option... its weird dont you think? | 15:58 |
| Eidel_ | Does anyone know how to get ALT+F2 to use /usr/bin as autocompleter? | 15:59 |
| hobgoblin | pertutatis: I don't find it weird but then when I was using gnome I didn't want that behaviour - not sure you can do that - but I've only been using xfce for 9 moths | 16:01 |
| pertutatis | sorry, maybe weird is not the word... | 16:01 |
| pertutatis | i installed a package to have video thumbnails but cant see on the desktop | 16:02 |
| hobgoblin | pertutatis: I understand what you want - not sure how to accomplish it though :) | 16:02 |
| pertutatis | thanks you all anyway ;) | 16:02 |
| hobgoblin | still looking ;) | 16:03 |
| pertutatis | oh ok;) | 16:03 |
| hobgoblin | pertutatis: all I can see is that you need to ensure you have tumbler-plugins-extra installed | 16:05 |
| hobgoblin | check that | 16:05 |
| pertutatis | let me see | 16:05 |
| pertutatis | yes, installed | 16:06 |
| hobgoblin | pertutatis: maybe xfce4-goodies - but I am just guessing - hang about and see if someone else knows more perhaps :) | 16:16 |
| GridCube | pertutatis, what do you want to do exactly? | 16:19 |
| hobgoblin | GridCube: have actual thumbnails of things on Desktop I think - or that's how I read it | 16:21 |
| GridCube | something like screenlets? | 16:23 |
| hobgoblin | possibly - from memory gnome showed a sort of pic of what it is - perhaps that is what it is - best waith for pertutatis perhaps - I could just be making it worse :) | 16:25 |
| pertutatis | sorry Im back here | 16:27 |
| pertutatis | what I want is the same that you see when you open the Images folder, for example, that thumbnails of every picture | 16:28 |

| bazhang | using ccsm ? | 16:44 |
| csenger41 | bazhang: yup | 16:46 |
| bazhang | csenger41, configuring what exactly | 16:46 |
| csenger41 | i am able to start in but the window management buttons disappear | 16:47 |
| csenger41 | I start it with the command "compiz --replace" | 16:47 |
| bazhang | compizconfig-settings-manager installed ? | 16:47 |
| csenger41 | yes | 16:47 |
| bazhang | tried a different theme? | 16:48 |
| csenger41 | I have NO theme | 16:48 |
| csenger41 | thats my problem | 16:48 |
| csenger41 | any suggestion? | 16:53 |
| hobgoblin | csenger41: do not all the things that mongy and ochosi worked through work today? | 16:54 |
| csenger41 | hobgoblin: yes, but after a restart my window buttons were gone :( | 16:54 |
| hobgoblin | csenger41: so you are just trying to make it permanent? | 16:56 |

| pjot | I tried asking in the main #ubuntu channel, but maybe this one is more appropriate. I can't get past the step where I'm supposed to enter my username and password while installing Xubuntu 11.10 because it doesn't recognize my DiNovo Edge bluetooth keyboard. Any suggestions? | 17:50 |
| GridCube | mmm | 17:50 |
| GridCube | you can't get another kb? | 17:50 |
| pjot | I don't have a wired one at home, no | 17:51 |
| GridCube | are you using the alternate or the live? | 17:51 |
| pjot | The live. Is the alternative better suited for this? | 17:51 |
| GridCube | i don't know, wont harm to trie | 17:51 |
| GridCube | does your computer has an integrated bt device or its an usb dongle? | 17:52 |
| pjot | It's a dongle, but the weird thing is that the keyboard worked in the first step when you select the language | 17:53 |
| GridCube | yes | 17:53 |
| GridCube | try to remove the usb and connect it again | 17:53 |
| pjot | Then I left it for a while, it could've rebooted or something, and now I can't make it connect | 17:53 |
| pjot | Mm, I've tried that, in all ports | 17:53 |
| GridCube | mmhm | 17:53 |
| pjot | There was an issue just like this on regular Ubuntu, I had to edit a config file to make it work then | 17:54 |
| pjot | Can't really do that mid-install though :P | 17:54 |
| GridCube | :P | 17:54 |
| GridCube | why not? | 17:55 |
| Mikael___ | Hi, I have Xubuntu 11.10 running with XFCE 4.8. I have internal audio and two HDMI outputs. No matter what I did, I could not change the audio output to HDMI to my TV, even with gstreamer-properties, until I disabled my onboard audio through my bios. I turned it on again when I wanted audio back to the onboard audio, but it seems to be stuck on HDMI. No matter what I change my settsings to through xfce4-mixer or gstreamer-properties, it has n | 17:55 |
| Mikael___ | o effect. Please help? Is there a way to "reset" audio settings? | 17:55 |
| pjot | I only have a single window on the screen, and it has text fields for username etc :P | 17:55 |
| Mikael___ | Seems to be an issue with Xubuntu, since I had no problems of this sort in Ubuntu | 17:56 |
| GridCube | pjot, you can ctrl-alt-f[1-6] to a tty and edit there :D | 17:57 |
| GridCube | Mikael___, tried using pavucontrol? | 17:58 |
| pjot | Well yeaaaah. I could if I had a keyboard :P | 17:58 |
| GridCube | XD | 17:58 |
| GridCube | correct pjot | 17:58 |
| Mikael___ | GridCube, no, I have never heard of it. I will check it out. | 17:58 |
| GridCube | :) Mikael___ | 17:58 |
| pjot | Editing that config file before without the keyboard was tricky enough | 17:58 |
| GridCube | pjot, does your mouse works? | 17:59 |
| pjot | Yeps | 17:59 |
| GridCube | then use the onscreen kb | 17:59 |
| GridCube | :D | 17:59 |
| Mikael___ | GridCube, hours of googling and this fixed it! Thanks a bunch! I can even change on the fly...So easy now :) | 17:59 |
| GridCube | Mikael___, :D awesome | 17:59 |
| pjot | How do I do that during the install? | 18:00 |
| Da|Mummy | how do i get out of read only filesystem? | 18:00 |
| pjot | The onscreen keyboard was how I logged in before | 18:00 |
| Mikael___ | Thank you for the help! Goodbye! :) | 18:00 |
| pjot | Can't see find one in the Xubuntu install though | 18:00 |
| pjot | -see | 18:00 |
| pjot | There are a bunch of weird Input methods when I right-click a field, but no on-screen keyboard :( | 18:01 |
| GridCube | on >accesories | 18:03 |
| GridCube | you should have "onboard" | 18:03 |
| pjot | There's no Accessories during my install :P | 18:04 |
| GridCube | oookay | 18:04 |
| pjot | I don't have anything but a single window on a black background :( | 18:04 |
| GridCube | oooo | 18:04 |
| GridCube | because you started the installation directly | 18:04 |
| GridCube | not the live cd | 18:04 |
| pjot | Yea | 18:05 |
| GridCube | and then the installation | 18:05 |
| GridCube | you do that instead | 18:05 |
| GridCube | :D | 18:05 |
| GridCube | it will, probably, fix this problem | 18:05 |
| pjot | It's worth a try! | 18:05 |
| GridCube | because all the drivers will load and you can use blueman | 18:05 |
| pjot | I wonder if I've screwed up my partitions already though :> | 18:06 |
| GridCube | you can fix that | 18:06 |
| pjot | Yea | 18:06 |
| pjot | It's a minor annoyance though ;) | 18:06 |
| GridCube | :P | 18:06 |
| GridCube | not if gets things done | 18:06 |
| pjot | Pressing that hard reboot button feels like hurting the computer | 18:06 |
| pjot | Okay, booting up the live CD now | 18:07 |
| Mikael____ | GridCube, hello again! When using pauvcontrol, i can select the audio input for applications running. is it possible to do a system wide default? When I run a new app, I have to select the output again through pauvcontrol | 18:08 |
| GridCube | mmm, i don't know Mikael____ let me check | 18:08 |
| Mikael____ | GridCube, even thought I have pulseaudio with internal analog stereo selected through gstreamer-properties and xfce4-mixer, it defaults to HDMI for new apps. | 18:09 |
| Mikael____ | GridCube, using those two (xfce4-mixer and gstreamer-properties) seemed to have no effect at all on the device output selection though | 18:09 |
| GridCube | yes i see that | 18:10 |
| GridCube | and no | 18:10 |
| GridCube | i don't know how you could default it | 18:10 |
| GridCube | sorry :( | 18:10 |
| Mikael____ | It's weird, because it's defaulted itself to HDMI and even though I select the default output device, it refuses to accept it. | 18:10 |
| Mikael____ | Np | 18:10 |
| Mikael____ | Must be a Xubuntu bug though, because AFAIK the base is the same as ubuntu (pulseaudiostuff anyway) and I didn't have these problems in Ubuntu | 18:11 |
| GridCube | don't know | 18:12 |
| pjot | Man, this feels like asking for trouble | 18:12 |
| Mikael____ | Perhaps if I disable my second screencard and reboot, then enable it again | 18:12 |
| GridCube | let me do some research | 18:12 |
| pjot | Installing an OS using the on-screen keyboard, that is :P | 18:12 |
| GridCube | :P well | 18:12 |
| Mikael____ | (Because disabling the onboard audio thru the bios worked to get HDMI audio working, perhaps by doing the oposite will work) | 18:12 |
| GridCube | pjot, doesnt blueman let you reconnect to your kb? | 18:14 |
| pjot | Dunno yet. I started the install already so it's not so responsive :P | 18:15 |
| GridCube | :P | 18:16 |
| GridCube | you can also do the editings you talked earlier | 18:16 |
| pjot | I wish the settings wouldn't be wrong to begin with ;) | 18:18 |
| pjot | I think the system needs a reboot after changing them, so it's not really an option when I've booted off the CD | 18:18 |
| Mikael_____ | Just came back to say that after I disabled HDMI and re-enabled it, it now defaults to internal audio :) Thanks for all the help | 18:19 |
| Mikael_____ | I find it hard to believe I'm the only one that have this problem though :x | 18:19 |
| Sebastien | Hey, i did a home server with my laptop, but... it goes in sleep mode after about 30 minutes. how can i prevent this ? putty connections are killed when it happens... | 18:19 |

| GridCube | Sebastien, on adminstration go to energy administration | 18:21 |

| pjot | Um, while I'm here, what's the major differences of a Xubuntu session and a regular Xfce session when logging in? | 18:25 |
| GridCube | pjot, no pretty theme, no other default programs | 18:26 |
| GridCube | no default xubuntu config files, etc | 18:26 |
| pjot | Okay, so if I just spent half a day customizing the Xubuntu theme and panel setup etc on my laptop, I could just as well use the regular Xfce session? | 18:27 |
| Mikael_____ | I prefer XFCE over anything, personally. Looks pretty good too. | 18:27 |
| GridCube | pjot, the xubuntu session contains xubuntu config files, those are pretty important for xubuntu per sé | 18:28 |
| GridCube | if you dont use the xubuntu session you will be using ubuntu with xfce | 18:28 |
| GridCube | the order of things on the main menu will be different, entries will change, etc | 18:29 |
| pjot | Okay. Well I just rebooted the computer after completing the install and that's not really an issue now :P | 18:30 |
| pjot | I now have the Xfce login screen without keyboard but also with a mouse (wired) that won't click, but it moves | 18:30 |
| pjot | I had the keyboard connected a few times during bootup though | 18:31 |
| GridCube | unplug and replug the usb till it works | 18:31 |
| GridCube | :P | 18:32 |
| pjot | Yea, that's my general approach :) | 18:32 |
| pjot | Not a very successful approach though | 18:33 |
| GridCube | i don't know of other | 18:34 |
| pjot | Me neither :( | 18:34 |
| GridCube | you should get a standard kb :P | 18:34 |
| pjot | Haha | 18:34 |
| pjot | Yes | 18:34 |
| pjot | I really should | 18:34 |
| pjot | I've tried Mint too, but it of course suffers from the same issues as recent Ubuntu editions | 18:35 |
| pjot | Maybe Debian still uses Gnome 2? :P | 18:35 |
| GridCube | i don't think so | 18:36 |
| GridCube | they created g3 | 18:36 |
| pjot | Good point | 18:36 |
| pjot | Damnit, Mint doesn't have an on-sceen keyboard at the login screen. My computer is now completely unaccessable | 18:39 |
| TheSheep | pjot: ---> #mint | 18:39 |
| pjot | Yea | 18:39 |
| pjot | Sorry | 18:39 |
| TheSheep | pjot: no, no, you just will get better support there | 18:40 |
| pjot | Is that really their channel? It's practically empty | 18:40 |
| pjot | Ah, they're on another network | 18:41 |
| GridCube | :P well you should keep trying xubuntu then | 18:41 |

| iew76 | Hi, I want to reset my xubuntu theme back to default because something got screwed up, would removing xfce4 subfolders & files fix this or is there a better way? | 19:37 |
| iew76 | anyone? | 19:47 |
| Marzata | iew76: set a new user with the same username | 19:49 |
| Marzata | iew76: move the files, change the username, delete old user. very simple. | 19:49 |
| puphairz | What's the smallest footprint for xubuntu installed to hdd ? | 19:50 |
| TheSheep | iew76: create a new user maybe? | 19:51 |
| iew76 | why would I want to create a user just to reset my theme | 19:51 |
| iew76 | I don't really understand the logic behind that, wouldn't it be much more straight forward to have a reset script | 19:52 |
| iew76 | or something similaar | 19:52 |
| Marzata | iew76: script of? | 19:52 |
| TheSheep | iew76: why would you want to reset your theme? | 19:52 |
| iew76 | TheSheep: in case you have done something you are not happy with or in my case: your theme got screwed up | 19:52 |
| TheSheep | iew76: you can always undo that | 19:53 |
| Marzata | maya scripts? | 19:53 |
| iew76 | reason why I'm asking is because I don't have the upper bar of my windows anymore, which means I cant drag them around anymore ... no clue on how to fix that | 19:53 |
| Marzata | add a bar? | 19:54 |
| GridCube | iew76, alt-f2 and write >xfwm4 --restart | 19:54 |
| GridCube | amh | 19:55 |
| GridCube | xfwm4 --replacer | 19:55 |
| GridCube | xfwm4 --replace | 19:55 |
| GridCube | that | 19:55 |
| iew76 | GridCube: xfwm4 --replace did it! | 19:57 |
| GridCube | :D | 19:58 |
| GridCube | it should | 19:58 |
| Sebastien | GridCube where is located the admin options | 20:27 |
| Sebastien | i don't really use the GUI the screen on the lappy is doomed for death | 20:27 |
| Sebastien | usually i use the terminal | 20:27 |
| Sebastien | but now i plugged a screen on it to setup this problem ... | 20:28 |
| Sebastien | For those who didn't see my question: --> Hey, i did a home server with my laptop, but... it goes in sleep mode after about 30 minutes. how can i prevent this ? putty connections are killed when it happens... | 20:29 |
| likemindead | This help, Sebastien? >> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1611674 | 20:34 |
| likemindead | Make sure all power management settings are where you'd like them in the BIOS too. | 20:35 |
| likemindead | More: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man5/hibernate.conf.5.html | 20:36 |
| Sebastien | i don't want to be redirected to treads not answering my question | 20:36 |
| Sebastien | hence why i came on irc | 20:36 |
| Sebastien | its really easy to point to forum treads, but live help is always better. | 20:37 |
| * Sebastien hates the "rtfm" kind of persons. | 20:37 | |
| likemindead | Maybe OS X is more your speed, then... | 20:39 |
| Sebastien | wow | 20:39 |
| likemindead | I don't know the exact answer to your question, just trying to help point you in the right direction. | 20:40 |
| likemindead | I'm a non-technical end user. | 20:40 |
| Sebastien | i'm trying to make a home server out of my free 4tb available, but it seems to fukup all the time, and i don't see the "administration" options... | 20:41 |
| GridCube | Sebastien, xfce4-settings-manager | 20:42 |
| holstein | Sebastien: thats odd | 20:42 |
| holstein | is that a server install? | 20:43 |
| holstein | maybe its something with the hardware | 20:43 |
| likemindead | Have you checked the BIOS settings? | 20:43 |
| holstein | if you change the settings in the GUI with a screen plugged in.. thats about all i know | 20:43 |
| holstein | i would install a server install on there anyways... | 20:43 |
| GridCube | the option you want is xfce4-power-manager-settings Sebastien | 20:43 |
| xPof | Hi, I' m having issues with my dual screen setup. After having tweaked my xorg.conf file a little (added Xinerama On) I am now stuck with my Display settings, getting the error: "Unable to query the version of the RandR extension being used", I searched for a solution but I couldn't find it. Could anyone tell me how to fix this? | 21:02 |
| holstein | i always have luck with arandr | 21:03 |
| holstein | not sure if that'll help you though | 21:03 |
| xPof | nope, won't work | 21:03 |
| holstein | whats the error? | 21:03 |
| xPof | as it is based on randr | 21:03 |
| holstein | xPof: have you tried it then? | 21:04 |
| xPof | aye | 21:04 |
| holstein | whats hardware? | 21:04 |
| holstein | ati? | 21:04 |
| xPof | ATI yep :p | 21:04 |
| holstein | which driver? | 21:04 |
| xPof | erm, the one you have to create a .deb from | 21:04 |
| xPof | the one you can download on their site, 64bit one | 21:05 |
| holstein | didnt work with the open one? | 21:05 |
| xPof | I never tried :P, I wanted to have the official one for once, to see how that one works | 21:05 |
| xPof | anyway, the cause of my issue is probably this: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0" | 21:06 |
| xPof | no clue on how to fix that though | 21:07 |
| cYmen | is there a way to mount partitions like with thunar with an ssh remote session? | 21:07 |
| holstein | cYmen: i use gigolo to do what i think you are looking for | 21:08 |
| cYmen | hm...maybe | 21:23 |
| * cYmen can't figure out how it works. | 21:23 | |
| cYmen | hm...no I don't think that's what I want. :) | 21:26 |
| cYmen | I want to mount something without the GUI and not with traditional mount commands. | 21:26 |
| cYmen | I want to mount it GUI compatibly but remotely. :) | 21:28 |
| Arqui | Hello | 21:41 |
| Arqui | please, anyone knows if it is possible to add tab browsing features to Thunar? | 21:44 |
| knome | no, and that most probably won't be added later either. use an another file manager | 21:46 |
| Arqui | I tried Nautilus, but it made a problem with the desktop, the desktop became blue and all shortcuts dissapeared | 21:47 |
| Arqui | Ok, thanks, goodbye | 21:53 |
