| knome | not all hardware works as well in linux, that doesn't make other hardware worse than the other | 02:07 |
| yyyyyyyy | Yeah just makes the vendor look evil | 02:07 |
| knome | in that sense they all are, more or less. | 02:08 |
| xxxxxxxx | the vendor is evil intel, so many different commands for the chipsets- was built to be difficult to escape windows | 02:08 |
| xxxxxxxx | the functionality is there but there is no acpi support and the whole thing is integrated pathways- is the battery out then switch to 30 bright etc | 02:09 |
| xxxxxxxx | prob seems to be fujitsus launch manger | 02:10 |

| lighta | i'm looking in /etc/xdg atm but didn't found it yet | 03:31 |
| Unit193 | sudo apt-get install alacarta --no-install-recommends | 03:32 |
| lighta | is that for me ? | 03:33 |
| Unit193 | alacarte | 03:33 |
| Unit193 | Yep, that's a nice menu editor | 03:33 |
| lighta | yes that what I jsut google | 03:33 |
| lighta | ok i'll try that thx | 03:33 |
| lighta | but juste for my info was I in good folder ? | 03:34 |
| Unit193 | Don't forget the "--no-install-recommends" part | 03:34 |
| Unit193 | Nope :P | 03:34 |
| Unit193 | The correct one is /usr/share/applications/ | 03:34 |
| lighta | ah ye ok | 03:35 |
| lighta | oh seem I had it alacarte | 03:35 |
| lighta | hmm that quite weird | 03:35 |

| ushills | Hi, microphone not working in xubuntu, can hear sound through speaker but not capturing, any ideas? | 11:50 |
| gry | Hi! What is /var/crash? Some docs URL that you have? | 11:52 |
| istok | ushills, clicking the sound should open the mixer, you should then be able to select which capture device to use by adding a control/master | 11:53 |
| ushills | when I do that I select the master (only option) still doesn't capture anything. | 11:53 |
| ushills | i.e select controls only give me master | 11:54 |
| istok | ushills, that's the only way i know how to do it, mine didn't detect sound, i had to manually configure the alsa mixer | 11:54 |
| istok | gry, crash dump images and the log files are written in /var/crash | 11:55 |
| istok | google has info | 11:55 |
| gry | I searched for docs, not found sane docs yet. :-) | 11:55 |

| popsch | how can I see the keys stored in the gnome-keyring? seahorse doesn't show me these keys | 15:54 |
| holstein | is it still at ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring ? can you view it in some capacity with nano? i wouldnt expect to be able to "view" it... | 16:00 |
| popsch | it's weird. apparently gigolo doesn't store the data in the keyring, if the login fails. However, it seems to remember it until you quit gigolo. | 16:04 |
| popsch | that might also be the reason why seahorse didn't store it | 16:04 |

| neronin | Something very strange has happened to me, for some reason i lost the right to sudo, Xubuntu says im not in the sudoers file. I suppose im no longer in the admin group.

I need to get back in the admin group/sudoers file | 16:58 |
| === Pieman is now known as Paimun | ||
| GridCube | neronin, I don't know why, but people with passwords problems usually have problems with the .ICEauthority file on ~/ | 17:02 |
| GridCube | you could try moving it away and rebooting? | 17:02 |
| GridCube | i don't really know | 17:02 |
| neronin | ok, i will google it first | 17:03 |
| neronin | It doesnt seem to be my exact problem, from a quick read. But i will try it out, brb | 17:05 |
| neronin | GridCube: No that didnt help. This is so weird. I have done absolutely nothing to the user accounts in the last few days, as far as i know | 17:09 |
| GridCube | :/ | 17:09 |
| neronin | Is there a way i can reset (set) the root password, apart from the way i tried? | 17:10 |
| GridCube | mmm, i used the recovery session to reset it once, but you say that you already did that | 17:11 |
| neronin | and how earth can you get deleted from the admin group/the sudoers file? | 17:11 |
| GridCube | i mean, you can not sudo while being root | 17:11 |
| GridCube | tn | 17:11 |
| GridCube | tb | 17:11 |
| GridCube | that would be silly | 17:11 |
| Sysi | you can | 17:11 |
| GridCube | oh | 17:11 |
| GridCube | well | 17:11 |
| GridCube | :/ thats silly | 17:12 |
| neronin | yes, but im not root of course, but if i could get access to the root account my problems would not be problems anymore :) | 17:12 |
| Sysi | it would be silly to not, when needing something like sudo -u | 17:12 |
| Sysi | neronin:boot to failsafe session? | 17:13 |
| neronin | is there a root password set at the xubuntu installation? i dont remember if i did that, was a long time ago | 17:13 |
| GridCube | neronin, the root password its your main user password | 17:13 |
| neronin | Sysi: I did, and i tried passwd root, which gave me the error message above | 17:13 |
| Sysi | there is no root passwd, first user just can use sudo | 17:14 |
| GridCube | i did this and it worked neronin http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword | 17:14 |
| Sysi | you could boot from livecd to check sudoers file | 17:15 |
| Sysi | I'll be off now, phone feels crippled for typing | 17:15 |
| neronin | GridCube: that was the guide i first used, but since i cant do passwd root, or passwd username, without getting the error message i wrote about above i get nowhere | 17:16 |
| GridCube | :/ | 17:16 |
| GridCube | i got that error too, but then i tried again, i think i first "mounted" the standard system | 17:17 |
| neronin | This is really silly.. I would hate to have to re-install everything .. :( | 17:17 |
| GridCube | i dont remember exactly what i did | 17:17 |
| GridCube | but then i could go to roo | 17:17 |
| GridCube | t | 17:17 |
| GridCube | and try the passwd | 17:17 |
| GridCube | let me reboot and check a moment | 17:18 |
| GridCube | ill be back | 17:18 |
| GridCube | :P | 17:18 |
| GridCube | neronin, yes :) | 17:22 |
| neronin | GridCube: good news? | 17:23 |
| GridCube | you have to choose first to "reload" the disk | 17:23 |
| GridCube | and then choose root from the bottom of the list | 17:23 |
| neronin | at the failsafe menu? i didnt see a "reload" there, maybe i missed it | 17:23 |
| neronin | ok, i will try again, brb | 17:24 |
| neronin | GridCube: I suppose you meant "Remount", right? When i choose remount it looks like the drive is mounted, but then i cant do anyhting else, let alone get back to the failsafe menu | 17:33 |
| neronin | i can only press ctrl +c, but then Xubuntu boots up normally | 17:33 |
| neronin | or do you mean something else with "reload"? | 17:34 |
| GridCube | no | 17:35 |
| GridCube | it was remount | 17:35 |
| GridCube | it should sent you bnack to the menu | 17:35 |
| GridCube | and then you choose the last root option | 17:35 |
| neronin | yes i would have loved if that would have worked, but it didnt send me back to the menu | 17:36 |
| GridCube | :/ | 17:36 |
| GridCube | sad | 17:36 |
| GridCube | it does that for me, and then i can change the passwords | 17:36 |
| neronin | or maybe i have to wait a minute or two | 17:36 |
| neronin | I will try it out again, if that fails i will boot a live cd and try to edit the sudoers file | 17:36 |

| dubphil | Hello ! any one knows how to open a .jar file ? I mean exploring it of course, squeeze doesn't recognize it, nore thunar | 18:12 |
| holstein | dubphil: http://alexsleat.co.uk/2010/06/07/howto-run-jar-files-in-ubuntu/ | 18:13 |
| GridCube | doesnt the "no java on ubuntu" has started yet? | 18:14 |
| holstein | yeah, not sure how that works now with open java or whatever we have went to | 18:14 |
| GridCube | yep | 18:14 |
| dubphil | holstein: I know how to execute it, I just want to explore it | 18:15 |
| Myrtti | rename to zip | 18:15 |
| Marzata | make it +x and run it, no? | 18:15 |
| Myrtti | then open with unzip | 18:15 |
| dubphil | looks here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iebx0OQr-OQ | 18:15 |
| dubphil | I would like to do like him on Xubuntu :p | 18:16 |
| ghuman | ciao ita? | 18:17 |
| holstein | dubphil: i dont see anything there that cant be done.. you can always fire up a live CD and do the work there if you want it to be *exactly* how it is on the tutorial video | 18:18 |
| dubphil | Myrtti: hey your advice works :) | 18:18 |
| dubphil | amazing | 18:18 |
| GridCube | hey holstein http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Canonical-backtracks-on-deleting-Oracle-s-Sun-Java-1415541.html | 18:18 |
| Myrtti | same works with odt and other libreoffice formats :-P | 18:19 |
| holstein | GridCube: interesting... i hadnt followed up on that, and assumed itwas already on the way out | 18:19 |
| GridCube | holstein, me neither just searched it up | 18:20 |
| dubphil | arf not really, I can't delete files in squeeze :( | 18:20 |
| GridCube | lol Myrtti :P wikipedia says that jars are just zips with another file extension :P | 18:21 |
| GridCube | dubphil, you can like, extract files, edit or whatever and recompress | 18:21 |
| dubphil | holstein: I would be proud to do this whith my ubuntu ;) | 18:21 |
| Myrtti | GridCube: yup :-> | 18:22 |
| dubphil | GridCube: yes if wikipedia is true then | 18:22 |
| GridCube | oh no you cant recompress just like that | 18:22 |
| GridCube | wikipedia says the order of compression its important, oh well, the more you know | 18:22 |

| GridCube | here4thegear, open a terminal and write >sudo update-grub | 18:25 |

| here4thegear | GridCube: done and no joy... same issue. | 18:27 |
| GridCube | dubphil, read the link i pasted you earlier | 18:28 |

| here4thegear | no... these things come shipped with recovery partitions these days | 18:32 |
| GridCube | yes | 18:34 |
| GridCube | :/ | 18:34 |
| GridCube | well try running a chkdsk against the 7 partition? | 18:35 |
| here4thegear | hm... sounds like a good idea. | 18:35 |
| GridCube | can you load the partition to check the files? | 18:35 |
| GridCube | mount it i mean | 18:35 |
| here4thegear | yes.. I can mount the partitian | 18:36 |
| GridCube | here4thegear, check this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1765197 | 18:37 |
| here4thegear | Well, those directions bring me to "error: file not found." followed by "grub rescue>" now on my boot up... lol.. I did something wrong. | 18:49 |

| GridCube | :( | 18:52 |
| GridCube | you probably did here4thegear | 18:52 |

| DaveG_ | hi - i am a xubuntu and to be honest a linux newbie and i have a little problem which I would welcome some help with please | 19:34 |
| DaveG_ | I have 11.10 installed - but due to a little problem I have messed up the panel menu at the top of the screen | 19:35 |
| GridCube | !details | 19:35 |
| 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 ..." | 19:35 |
| GridCube | DaveG_, how messed up? | 19:35 |
| DaveG_ | is there a simple way to reset it as the manual method of adding and aranging components does not seem to work | 19:35 |
| DaveG_ | well - it's tjhere - but I cannot get it to look like it did before I messed it up | 19:36 |
| DaveG_ | separators / spacing seem to be the main problem | 19:36 |
| DaveG_ | i was wondering if there was a file I could reset to get me back to a known good startintg position | 19:37 |
| GridCube | mmm there is a way | 19:37 |
| GridCube | but i cant remember it just now | 19:37 |
| GridCube | let me do some research and ill be back | 19:38 |
| GridCube | :) | 19:38 |
| DaveG_ | ok - thank ypu very much | 19:38 |
| GridCube | delete all files inside ~/.config/xfce , then log back in :) | 19:39 |
| DaveG_ | ok - let me have a go and get back to you in a moment | 19:39 |
| DaveG_ | does the tilda character mean home directory ? | 19:41 |
| DaveG_ | just trying to find it on a mac keyboard | 19:42 |
| GridCube | yes DaveG_ | 19:43 |
| GridCube | :D the tilde character means /home/user | 19:43 |
| GridCube | you get there by writing cd and pressing enter in any terminal | 19:44 |
| GridCube | DaveG_, press alt-f2 and write: thunar /home/YOURUSER/.config/xfce4 | 19:46 |
| GridCube | and move or delete the files you have ther | 19:46 |
| DaveG_ | including dirs ? | 19:47 |
| GridCube | sure, if you are afraid, just move them to other folder | 19:48 |
| GridCube | if things go wrong you put them back | 19:48 |
| GridCube | but in theory xubuntu will just regenerate them as it where a clean boot | 19:48 |
| DaveG_ | yay ! it worked | 19:50 |
| GridCube | :D awesome | 19:50 |
| DaveG_ | thanks so much | 19:51 |
