[07:13] <ice10001> hi all
[07:13] <ice10001> any guru's around to help?
[07:15] <Marzata> all of them are in meditation.
[07:23] <ice10001> hehe
[07:24] <ice10001> any guru's now
[07:31] <TVasEyes> ice10001: how about a simple statement of the actual problem?
[07:31] <ice10001> !! A response: :)
[07:32] <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.
[07:33] <TVasEyes> btw, exclamation mark prompts the bot.
[07:36] <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
[07:37] <TVasEyes> welcome, next time perhaps :)
[07:44] <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?
[10:50] <arabuli> Hello, how can I install xfce4-xkb-plugin in xubununtu?
[10:56] <baizon> arabuli: open terminal, the type: sudo apt-get install xfce4-xkb-plugin
[10:57] <arabuli> baizon: wow that was easy. Thanks
[10:57] <baizon> np
[10:58] <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
[11:07] <ice10001> Hi all,
[11:07] <ice10001> anyone here to help on xubuntu 64 (11.10) proxy prob?
[12:52] <Marzata> some tool to make screenshot of a whole web page. idea?
[12:54] <baizon> what browser?
[12:56] <baizon> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fireshot/
[12:57] <Marzata> baizon: ff, cr, ミドリ
[12:58] <Marzata> baizon: Not available for your platform
[12:59] <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
[13:00] <Marzata> TVasEyes: oh, pain
[13:00] <TVasEyes> 'fraid so.
[13:01] <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.
[13:02] <TVasEyes> er yes, looks easier to operate than command-line util ;)
[13:03] <Marzata> no problem with cli, if it only works
[13:04] <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.
[13:05] <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?
[13:08] <TVasEyes> hydester: gut feeling: missing the correct driver from initrd, but I haven't used xubuntu long enough myself to talk you through this.
[13:09] <hydester> TVasEyes: any different with ubuntu or you mean you've used other distros?
[13:10] <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
[13:11] <TVasEyes> however, do some rearch re initrd.
[13:11] <TVasEyes> that supplies drivers to kernel at boot time
[13:16] <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
[13:17] <TVasEyes> no, I've the same arrangement.
[13:19] <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.
[13:20] <hydester> k, thanks
[13:21] <TVasEyes> good luck.
[13:51] <xuser> copy/paste on desktop using thunar file manager not works
[13:51] <xuser> xubuntu 11.10
[13:56] <abhi_> i have an alps glidepoint in my sony vaio vgn n17g laptop, it is not much consistent even after installing the ps mouse patch in xubuntu 11.10 , what can i do? the problem is with drag, sometimes it works correctly while sometimes it fails so i have to try 3-4 times to successfully drag something. plz help.
[13:57] <abhi_> why my message got truncated from beginning?
[13:57] <abhi_> i'm asking about alps glidepoint drag problem
[14:05] <abhi_> is anybody using alps glidepoint with xubuntu?
[14:12] <abhi_> this is the only annoying thing remaining in my xubuntu installation, plz help me guys!
[14:14] <abhi_> actually it requires 3 taps instead of 2 to drag  or select.
[14:45] <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
[15:09] <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> :)
[15:10] <holstein> :)
[15:16] <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
[15:17] <holstein> hydester: i typically just try the live CD's and test from there
[15:18] <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.
[15:19] <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..
[15:20] <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
[15:21] <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
[15:22] <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
[15:23] <hydester> what boot loader would you recommend?
[15:23] <hydester> also, is there a downside to using IDE vs EUFI mode on a SATA?
[15:24] <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
[15:25] <hobgoblin> really ...
[15:33] <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?
[15:41] <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
[15:44] <XartaoX> good day!
[15:46] <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.
[15:47] <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
[15:49] <Marzata> XartaoX: you use a Thinkpad?
[15:54] <XartaoX> desktop ... Pentium D dual 3.4Ghz, 3G DDR2 RAM, PCIe ATI x600 256M gfx
[15:56] <XartaoX> It's a Dell Optiplex GX620
[15:57] <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
[15:58] <XartaoX> Ubuntu Studio is now fully installed on my HD tho ... no other OSes on there either
[17:58] <drc> clear
[18:01] <baizon> damn
[18:01] <baizon> you need to stop that reconnecting =)
[18:28] <XartaoX> any help with my above questions/problems? plz :D
[18:28] <GridCube_> care to sumarize it for me XartaoX ?
[18:28] <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.

[18:29] <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
[18:30] <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
[18:31] <GridCube_> so i put it to "never" on the suspend at plugged and unplugged :P
[18:35] <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)"
[18:36] <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" ??
[18:38] <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
[18:39] <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
[18:40] <XartaoX> brb .. pizza ready :)
[18:41] <XartaoX> mmm nom nom nom
[18:43] <XartaoX> any ideas on the volume knob issue?
[18:45] <GridCube_> !keytouch
[18:45] <XartaoX> k
[19:21] <XartaoX> !volume
[19:21] <XartaoX> !keyboard
[22:50] <daysahead5> how do i set a file to be in multiple groups chgrp group1 text.txt but how do i add multiple groups not just one?

[23:17] <xubuntu685> ok thank you
[23:18] <xubuntu685> i'm installing xubuntu i have the fatal error that it can't install the grub files
[23:18] <xubuntu685> sorry for my bad english
[23:19] <Unit193> That's not good, what error messages exactly? You can always join the french channel #ubuntu-fr though
[23:20] <xubuntu685> fatal error grub can install in sda choose an other...
[23:20] <xubuntu685> can't
[23:21] <xubuntu685> i've already installed mint 12 on my machine but she's a little old i've choose xubuntu for more ressources
[23:23] <daysahead5> xubuntu is awesome!
[23:23] <xubuntu685> linux mind is awesome
[23:23] <daysahead5> mind?

[23:27] <xubuntu685> ok thanx
[23:28] <xubuntu685> for your help and your time good night
[23:30] <knome> xubuntu685, good luck and good night
[23:47] <c_smith> daysahead5, I gotta agree, Xubuntu is pretty awesome, thinking about installing the DE since I have Ubuntu for certain things.
[23:48] <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
[23:49] <c_smith> cool, I've tried Xubuntu before, it's really solid if you don't need too much flashy stuff
[23:50] <GridCube_> !faq
[23:50] <c_smith> also, in Xubuntu, is there a way to mount an Acer Iconia Tab A100?
[23:51] <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,
[23:52] <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.
[23:53] <GridCube_> c_smith: read this: http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/alternative
[23:54] <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?
[23:55] <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.
[23:56] <c_smith> but that's a topic that I should reserve for an Offtopic channel, eh?
[23:56] <GridCube_> yep :)
[23:57] <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
[23:58] <GridCube_> by defautl
[23:58] <GridCube_> i don't really know why we don't ship gvfs by default tho :/
[23:59] <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,
