| ice10001 | hi all | 07:13 |
| ice10001 | any guru's around to help? | 07:13 |
| Marzata | all of them are in meditation. | 07:15 |
| ice10001 | hehe | 07:23 |
| ice10001 | any guru's now | 07:24 |
| TVasEyes | ice10001: how about a simple statement of the actual problem? | 07:31 |
| ice10001 | !! A response: :) | 07:31 |
| ubottu | ice10001: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:31 |
| ice10001 | basically, how to setup xubuntu 64 (11.10) software centre to connect behind proxy | 07:32 |
| ice10001 | 'doh' | 07:32 |
| TVasEyes | ah, networking isn't my forte (and I still use 32bit 11.10), sorry. | 07:32 |
| TVasEyes | btw, exclamation mark prompts the bot. | 07:33 |
| ice10001 | thanks, I dont use irc very often, and nor do I see who is replying (sort of too trusting perhaps) | 07:36 |
| ice10001 | thanks for response | 07:36 |
| TVasEyes | welcome, next time perhaps :) | 07:37 |
| Unit193 | I'd assume it'd support the env var of http_proxy, so you *should* be able to put something like "export http_proxy=http://192.168.1.131:80" in your bash? | 07:44 |
| arabuli | Hello, how can I install xfce4-xkb-plugin in xubununtu? | 10:50 |
| baizon | arabuli: open terminal, the type: sudo apt-get install xfce4-xkb-plugin | 10:56 |
| arabuli | baizon: wow that was easy. Thanks | 10:57 |
| baizon | np | 10:57 |
| baizon | if you like a gui, go system -> Synaptic pacakge manager | 10:58 |
| baizon | and then search for this entry :) | 10:58 |
| baizon | right click on it and install / uninstall | 10:58 |
| ice10001 | Hi all, | 11:07 |
| ice10001 | anyone here to help on xubuntu 64 (11.10) proxy prob? | 11:07 |
| Marzata | some tool to make screenshot of a whole web page. idea? | 12:52 |
| baizon | what browser? | 12:54 |
| baizon | https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fireshot/ | 12:56 |
| Marzata | baizon: ff, cr, ミドリ | 12:57 |
| Marzata | baizon: Not available for your platform | 12:58 |
| Marzata | me on xubu 11.10 | 12:59 |
| TVasEyes | Marzata: one option would be to take screenshots of the visible part, then use something like http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/pnmstitch.html | 12:59 |
| Marzata | TVasEyes: oh, pain | 13:00 |
| TVasEyes | 'fraid so. | 13:00 |
| TVasEyes | otoh, you have more freedoms (fileformat etc) | 13:01 |
| Marzata | TVasEyes: better Hugin to make the panorama :D | 13:01 |
| TVasEyes | ah, ok, don't know Hugin, must read up. | 13:01 |
| TVasEyes | er yes, looks easier to operate than command-line util ;) | 13:02 |
| Marzata | no problem with cli, if it only works | 13:03 |
| TVasEyes | no, I'm sure you're right about Hugin. anyway, stitching together would seem to be the only cross-browser/cross-platform way of doing. | 13:04 |
| hydester | hi, i just installed xubuntu 11.10 on a new machine with just a SATA 3g drive. the install worked fine ,but on reboot i just get the blinking cursor and no way to get to boot menu and no splash screen is seen. is this evidence of an obvious problem? | 13:05 |
| TVasEyes | hydester: gut feeling: missing the correct driver from initrd, but I haven't used xubuntu long enough myself to talk you through this. | 13:08 |
| hydester | TVasEyes: any different with ubuntu or you mean you've used other distros? | 13:09 |
| TVasEyes | I use slackware mostly and only had xubuntu for a couple of months. there are significant differences, eg lilo vs grub bootloader etc. I wouldn't feel confident. | 13:10 |
| hydester | k | 13:10 |
| TVasEyes | however, do some rearch re initrd. | 13:11 |
| TVasEyes | that supplies drivers to kernel at boot time | 13:11 |
| hydester | another factor is that i'm installing with /boot as a primary partition but / as a logical. but from what i read that shouldn't cause any problems | 13:16 |
| TVasEyes | no, I've the same arrangement. | 13:17 |
| TVasEyes | hydester: if you have a live cd at hand, boot and note down relevant output from lspci -vv which will give details of all devices and drivers in use. | 13:19 |
| TVasEyes | will help to trouble-shoot later. | 13:19 |
| hydester | k, thanks | 13:20 |
| TVasEyes | good luck. | 13:21 |

| hydester | are there issues with installing to UEFI SATA that the regular installer doesn't support? | 14:45 |
| hydester | that is, after rebooting on the new install | 14:45 |
| holstein | hydester: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting | 15:09 |
| TVasEyes | hydester: uefi may be at the root of your trouble, see 'Non-Mac x86_64 UEFI systems' in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting if you haven't done so already. | 15:09 |
| TVasEyes | :) | 15:09 |
| holstein | :) | 15:10 |
| hydester | TVasEyes and holstein, i tried IDE compatibility mode and it installed, so it indeed is UEFI related. that page has a lot of variations of instructions. i guess it'll take some time to sort it all out | 15:16 |
| holstein | hydester: i typically just try the live CD's and test from there | 15:17 |
| hydester | holstein: the live CD saw EUFI just fine, it was just failure to boot off of the installed drive. what can i test via live CD? | 15:18 |
| TVasEyes | hydester: glad you've a running system. I think we'll get a lot of difficulties in the future from the move to uefi. | 15:18 |
| hydester | is running in IDE mode vs EUFI have any downside? | 15:19 |
| holstein | hydester: not sure what you can test... i read that you were asking "will i run into problems"... if you already are running into issues, feel free and elaborate.. | 15:19 |
| hydester | holstein: ah, sorry. i was asking elsewhere too and i didn't realize i didn't include details here. basically i can install to my EUFI device just fine with the live CD (USB), but when i reboot i get the blinking cursor on text screen. this is the only OS on this drive | 15:20 |
| hydester | so it seems that the live install doesn't support EUFI grub, at least in my scenario | 15:21 |
| TVasEyes | hydester: not sure since all my computers are 2 years+ old, I got (part of) my info from http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Securely-booting-Linux-a-difficult-proposition-1417990.html | 15:21 |
| holstein | wonder if its as simple as a grub error... | 15:22 |
| hydester | holstein: could be, but i never get any text on the screen and holding down shift doesn't help | 15:22 |
| holstein | i think i would try some other boot loader that we know works, and go from there | 15:22 |
| hydester | what boot loader would you recommend? | 15:23 |
| hydester | also, is there a downside to using IDE vs EUFI mode on a SATA? | 15:23 |
| holstein | hydester: i have not tested first hand with that hardware | 15:24 |
| holstein | i would just search around and see if any claim good support | 15:24 |
| xubuntu979 | fuck /part | 15:24 |
| hobgoblin | really ... | 15:25 |
| hydester | holstein: so i switched my bios back to AHCI after installing via IDE mode and it still boots. is this a workaround i found or do you think it is an illusion and still is running in IDE mode? | 15:33 |
| hydester | hydester: it looks like it is working properly. so the AHCI installer make be broken for my configuration. i gues IDE install first does fake it out somehow | 15:41 |
| hydester | heh, i didn't mean to address myself | 15:41 |
| XartaoX | good day! | 15:44 |
| XartaoX | I have 3 issues I'm trying to sort: A) My machine won't come out of suspend. .. B) I can't get my machine to remember my extended desktop dual-head setup. It always defaults to clone mode on reboot. .. C) My keyboard volume knob doesn't do what I want. it only adjusts the PulseAudio volume, NOT the system volume; and in a VERY limited range. | 15:46 |
| XartaoX | re: B) ... i have to use arandr every boot to set the extended desktop. i saved an .sh script of the setup, but now I don't know what to DO with that script. | 15:47 |
| XartaoX | incidentally, I'm using Ubuntu Studio (11.10) .. they directed me here for these questions. :D | 15:47 |
| Marzata | XartaoX: you use a Thinkpad? | 15:49 |
| XartaoX | desktop ... Pentium D dual 3.4Ghz, 3G DDR2 RAM, PCIe ATI x600 256M gfx | 15:54 |
| XartaoX | It's a Dell Optiplex GX620 | 15:56 |
| XartaoX | I tried other distros on Live dvd or USB key .. some of them got my display right immediately, and came out of standby just fine | 15:57 |
| XartaoX | Ubuntu Studio is now fully installed on my HD tho ... no other OSes on there either | 15:58 |
| drc | clear | 17:58 |
| baizon | damn | 18:01 |
| baizon | you need to stop that reconnecting =) | 18:01 |
| XartaoX | any help with my above questions/problems? plz :D | 18:28 |
| GridCube_ | care to sumarize it for me XartaoX ? | 18:28 |

| XartaoX | I tried other distros on Live dvd or USB key .. some of them got my display right immediately, and came out of standby just fine | 18:29 |
| knome | XartaoX, B) applications menu -> settings -> settings manager -> session and startup -> tab "application autostart" -> add the script there | 18:30 |
| GridCube_ | mmm i've had those suspend problems as well, but i've avoided it by never going to suspend, just blocking the screen seems ok | 18:30 |
| GridCube_ | so i put it to "never" on the suspend at plugged and unplugged :P | 18:31 |
| XartaoX | i have it set to never AUTOMATICALLY suspend .. but when i go to sleep, i like to suspend it so that when i wake up i can just hit the spacebar whilst i do my "morning duties" and when i come back all the apps and windows i had open are up and ready | 18:35 |
| XartaoX | ok, added that script to my startup. thx. i'll see if that works shortly | 18:35 |
| XartaoX | i notice in that Session and Startup panel a "SFCE Volume Daemon (Daemon managing the volume multimedia keys and displaying volume notifications)" | 18:35 |
| XartaoX | seems to me that might have something to do with C) ?? | 18:36 |
| GridCube_ | XartaoX: for that exactly i never suspend, using the block screen instead its much useful | 18:36 |
| XartaoX | i'm not familiar with this "block screen" ?? | 18:36 |
| GridCube_ | i think i'm having a language barrier here, it is "lock screen"? | 18:38 |
| GridCube_ | i dont know | 18:38 |
| XartaoX | ahh | 18:38 |
| knome | lock screen sounds correct | 18:38 |
| GridCube_ | but its not suspension, because suspension sends your disks to sleep too | 18:38 |
| XartaoX | i may as well just turn off my monitors then instead of lock the screen ... i live alone and am the only one that uses my computers | 18:39 |
| GridCube_ | :) that works too | 18:39 |
| XartaoX | typo above .. SFCE should be XFCE XD | 18:39 |
| XartaoX | brb .. pizza ready :) | 18:40 |
| XartaoX | mmm nom nom nom | 18:41 |
| XartaoX | any ideas on the volume knob issue? | 18:43 |
| GridCube_ | !keytouch | 18:45 |

| c_smith | daysahead5, I gotta agree, Xubuntu is pretty awesome, thinking about installing the DE since I have Ubuntu for certain things. | 23:47 |
| c_smith | that leads me to my question: is it safe to install the Xubuntu DE metapackage? | 23:48 |
| ParkerR | c_smith, Should be ok | 23:48 |
| c_smith | cool, I've tried Xubuntu before, it's really solid if you don't need too much flashy stuff | 23:49 |
| GridCube_ | !faq | 23:50 |
| ubottu | Lists of common questions and answers about Xubuntu can be found at http://xubuntu.org/news/tag/faq/. See also: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions | 23:50 |
| c_smith | also, in Xubuntu, is there a way to mount an Acer Iconia Tab A100? | 23:50 |
| gry2 | thunar auto mounts devices, yes | 23:51 |
| c_smith | true, but this tablet isn't automounted in even Unity. doesn't even show up, | 23:51 |
| c_smith | Nautilus I should say instead of Unity, shouldn't I? | 23:52 |
| gry2 | how do you mount it then? or you currently can't do that yet? | 23:52 |
| c_smith | I connect it, but nothing really appears. | 23:52 |
| c_smith | the tablet itself works great. | 23:52 |
| GridCube_ | c_smith: read this: http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/alternative | 23:53 |
| c_smith | GridCube, I never knew you could completely replace a DE (including getting rid of the old one) | 23:54 |
| c_smith | thanks for that info | 23:54 |
| GridCube_ | c_smith: tried mounting your tablet with gigolo? | 23:54 |
| GridCube_ | c_smith: in the case of unity its rather important, else it would pretty much fu... mess things up | 23:55 |
| c_smith | nope. just got the tablet Wednesday, haven't tried mounting it in a different DE. | 23:55 |
| c_smith | GridCube, ah, I see. yeah, I see where Mark Shuttleworth is going with Unity, and how it could help, I just dislike the interface. | 23:55 |
| c_smith | but that's a topic that I should reserve for an Offtopic channel, eh? | 23:56 |
| GridCube_ | yep :) | 23:56 |
| c_smith | last I tried using Xubuntu, there was one Thunar plugin I couldn't get to compile (the repos didn't have it) the plugin is Thunar Share, is it depricated. | 23:57 |
| c_smith | *? | 23:57 |
| c_smith | it's a plugin similar to what Nautilus has to share files over a network. | 23:57 |
| GridCube_ | it should be there if you install gvfs | 23:57 |
| GridCube_ | by defautl | 23:58 |
| GridCube_ | i don't really know why we don't ship gvfs by default tho :/ | 23:58 |
| GridCube_ | in fact that plugin being there causes a few problems because thunar tries to locate network shares every time it opens for the first time, giving lots of errors like hanging for a minute and then openning like 3 windows :P | 23:59 |
| c_smith | hmmmmm, I read the plugin I was trying to compile handled SMB, | 23:59 |
