[00:51] Hi, do I have to change any settings to get a encrypted volume (created under ubuntu) mounted within a xubuntu live cd session? Got always "permission denied" error messages :( === XartaoX is now known as artao === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:21] Hi.New toXubunt; just got Xubuntu installed(dualboot),using Wubi. Have a question: 'The Progrees' bar at the bottom of Install's'Thank You' oage is not complete and is taking 4ever. Is thsi normal? [06:43] Could anyone let me know why this happens? [06:43] http://imgur.com/ExcLs [06:45] ztag100: looks like conky was created before background image is set [06:45] laite: how can I fix this? I just want the image to be transparent [06:45] not sure if it helps, but if conky is started on startup, perhaps you could do a script with 'sleep 5' or similar [06:45] do I put that line at the top of the code [06:45] you have to do a bash (.sh) script, I believe [06:46] how do you launch conky atm [06:46] I'm just messing arround, and launchung it with conky [06:46] until I find a setup I like [06:47] Any ideas? [06:47] is the 'where there is shell...' terminal or desktop background?? [06:47] I'm sorry, what? [06:48] it seems that you have terminal open (ziad@ZiadNetBook), or is that just an image? [06:48] my problem is that conky is supposed to be transparent, but it isn;t [06:48] Oh, no, the terminal is open [06:48] you could check conky windowmodes, don't remember exactly what they are called [06:48] there should be some options that might be helpful [06:49] I like having a terminal on my desktop, it makes me feel 1337 [06:49] sorry I'm not much more help, it's been a way too long since I played with conky :/ [06:49] =D [06:49] It is depressing me, lol [06:50] is there anything better I can try? [06:50] http://conky.sourceforge.net/faq.html [06:50] see #6 [06:51] step-by-step instructions: http://www.worldoweb.co.uk/2011/fix-conky-transparency-issue [06:51] hope it works [06:52] thanks [06:53] I'm looking now [07:03] Thanks So much [07:03] it works now [07:03] \o/ [07:04] :) [07:06] it takes a while to launch though [07:07] if you used 'sleep' command (as the step-by-step instruction did) the number after is 'idle delay' in seconds [07:07] e.g. 'sleep 30 && conky' waits simply 30 seconds before launching conky [07:08] you can try reducing the amount [07:08] Oh, I could make it like, 2? [07:08] and it would still work? [07:08] yeah, but it should be enough for background to load [07:08] that's the reason for waiting [07:09] It worked [07:09] with 2 [07:09] :) [07:09] nice :) [07:25] Hello [07:28] laite: I just want you to know, you're awesome [07:28] first time I get legit help in irc, in a LONG time [07:29] I finally have an epic desktop [07:32] http://imgur.com/DUjIa [07:36] mine is better :P [07:37] baizon: post it! [07:38] lol [07:38] I love customizing desktops, even on my cellphone [07:39] ztag100: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11680302&postcount=187 [07:40] cool [07:40] why do you keep conky on the bottom right? instead of top right [07:42] ztag100: cause when i open the nm-applet popup it would cover it [07:43] * ztag100 nods [07:44] I kind of have a classic unix theme going on [07:44] :) [07:48] brb, testing out my session updates [10:37] jGAHHHH!!! ... how do I tell linux xfce WHICH monitor I want to be the primary one!! .. it keeps defualting to my secondary monitor for full-screen apps .. specifically games under wine [10:41] XartaoX: I think xranr has an option for that [10:47] not that i've noticed .. it's kinda hard to use .. i've been using arandr [10:47] xrandr [10:47] oops. this ain't a terminal hah! [10:49] hmmm ... wait [10:49] maybe the 'easy' solution is to switch how they're physically plugged into the computer [10:50] which, of course, will require a reboot [10:50] brb [10:53] I prefer grandr, it's a bit more informative than arandr [10:58] ok that uhh ... that appears to have worked [10:58] odd tho .. my vid-out splitter is CLEARLY labled 1 and 2 [11:19] Hello. I don; t know if this is the right place to ask: But I have a problem with "gfce4-notes(-plugin)". When I won't remember any tekst I type in the note. When I log out, and log back in, all text has disappeared. Maybe I am doing something wrong, here? [12:02] Hi! anyone that uses emerald or knows a good alternative? [12:03] I really want to have smooth borders on xfce, and also would like some effects? [12:03] webupd8 ppa has emerald [12:04] mongy: can't use ppa.. I'm at Archlinux at the moment.. [12:05] this is not the right channel for support then [12:05] http://compiz-themes.org/ [12:05] knome: sorry I know.. I just wanted to ask if Xubuntu has smooth borders with XFCE and effects.. [12:06] betaArk: only if you install compiz and emerald. [12:06] or use the gtk-window decorator [12:06] mongy: oke.. so default has no smooth borders? [12:06] betaArk, asking that right away would've been the correct question then [12:07] knome: yes, sorry. [12:07] np [13:24] Hi, do I have to change any settings to get a encrypted volume (created under ubuntu) mounted within a xubuntu live cd session? I always get "permission denied" error messages :( [13:27] should just ask for pass and then mount.. my external encrypted with cryptsetup/disk utility does [13:28] mongy: It asks for the passphrase - but although the passphrase is 100% correct, i get that "permission denied" error. I tried to mount it via the graphical interface yet -perhaps i don't have enough permissions to mount in live cd mode? [13:30] let me test something [13:33] I just want to test whether mounting works correctly within xubuntu before uninstalling ubuntu und switching to xubuntu. [13:36] ah, because the permissions to it are rw for owneer only. [13:40] mongy: So I can't mount the volume in live cd mode? That doesn't matter at all if I can be sure, that it works with xubuntu installed on my drive. [13:43] it works, yes [13:45] Ok, thanks a lot mongy! [13:45] Im not sure how to mount it with the username you created it with.. only thing I can think of is just make your user in the livecd, give it sudo rights and login [13:47] mongy: Ok, I'll give it a try - feels a bit more secure if i can make it work before installing the new os ;) [13:47] the same guts in xubuntu as in ubuntu [13:59] same guts, less fat :) [14:09] mongy: My main aim is to get rid of some driver/flash-related issues... hopefully my drivers dont get messed up too then [14:25] what issues [14:31] mongy: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2012-February/257250.html [14:32] mongy: I think that some drivers are messed up because this system has been upgraded several times. Hopefully those problems are solved by making a fresh install. [14:33] are you 64bit? [14:37] mongy: Yes [14:40] dunno if it will make any difference but, are you using the flash from flashplugin-installer/xubuntu-restricted-extras? [14:42] mongy: At the moment I am using ubuntu (without x yet ;) ). I tried different flash versions. The last one I tried was the one from ubuntu repos. Right at the moment i try the flashplayer so-module from adobe website. [14:42] well, the thing is, the one from regular repo needs a bunch of 32bit libs, and the one from the partner repo (adobe-flashplugin) does not.. [14:43] so, just saying, maybe purge flashplugin-installer and its 32bit stuff and install the one from partner repo. [14:45] I used the sevenmachines 64bit flash before upgrading to 11.10 for a long time without any problems. But after adobe put up its own 64bit version sevenmachines was gone. So your advice is to make sure to use the adobe-flashplugin instead of flashplugin-installer, right? [14:45] bbiab [14:46] its similar to the sevenmachines one then, as its true 64bit. [14:46] so, yes.. [14:47] Ok, then i'll go testing the current flash version and if it doesn't work ill give the adobe-* version a try. If everything works fine i wont be away ;) Otherwise there will be a forced reboot ;) and then ill be back^^ [14:47] why not have some logs open in view while you are playing vids. might catch some info [14:53] mongy: The manually downloaded version crashed too :( So now i'll try the adobe-* version [15:03] mongy: Now I'm running that adobe-* version. I couldn't reproduce a system freeze yet (which was very easy with the previous versions). Now I just get "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed" messages. Thats lots better than killing my whole system ;) [15:04] If there would a way to find out why that plugin crashed I could perhaps find the source of the whole thing. [15:04] wish they would kill flash and make html5 more default [15:05] why not use something like minitube, doesnt use flash [15:06] I used the FlashVideoReplacer FF-Addon recently. But it couldnt replace all videos unfortunately. Does minitube work with _all_ videos? Just read about it while rebooting my system (after freeze) [15:06] check Xorg logs and dmesg etc [15:06] from what I read it does [15:17] mongy: You helped me a lot. For now i'm very happy that my system doesn't get killed whenever i open yt-videos. Now I'll try minitube. Eventually I will switch to xubuntu - just to have a clean installation once in a while. [15:18] might be your video driver. I dont have any issues with flash. [15:22] I didn't either when using sevenmachines flash. Now it seems to work fine for now. Thanks a lot! [15:23] not sure but, try removing your homes .macromedia and .adobe stuff [15:23] left over crud. [15:23] have you set youtube to use html5 when it can ? [15:23] doesnt work on all vids, wish it would === tsimpson_ is now known as tsimpson [15:24] Yes I did. As you say - did work for some but not all vids [15:25] amazes me after years and years flash is STILL a problem for linux [15:27] Yeah - there are several projects like gnash and so on. But as many proprietary standards it just partly works with the "original". [15:27] afaik [15:29] gnash was horribly slow last time I tried it. was maybe a year ago now [15:30] * mongy relinux'n custom pimped xubuntu [15:30] Do you use minitube yourself? [15:30] nah. no need really. [15:30] relinux? [15:31] remastersys clone [15:31] Was a tool to create own live/boot cd right? [15:31] yup [15:33] Do you use the file manager shipped with xubuntu? Read a few days ago that it can't display properties of multiple files/folders. Is there a cause for that? [15:34] just removed some stuff, installed different apps, different theme, a few settings here and there and throwing it up on my vps to torrent for anyone that wants it. target audience would be people wanting to use mint/cinammon/gnome3 classic. [15:34] that was probably me [15:34] I use thunar, and no it can't. Nice workaround using custom actions though [15:35] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1052027 [15:36] Tried gnome3 - but wasn't my flavour to be honest. Unity would be very great if the customizability would be better and multi screen rules would be more obvious [15:36] imho [15:37] shell really isnt my cup of tea. of the 2, unity wipes the floor with it. [15:39] I like the ways they free space by merging some controls. Just missing the possibility to customize stuff (like adding items to panels and so on). [15:40] What do you mean with "unity wipes the floor with it" [15:44] I prefer it to gnome-shell [15:44] if I had to use one of them [15:46] I would like a combination of gnome2-control/config and unity-like control-merging the most ;) [15:48] xfce is all I want [15:56] mongy: g2g now. Thanks a lot for your help! Perhaps we'll meet here again when i ask some xubuntu-noob questions ;) bye^ [15:57] later [16:16] http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1204_desktops&num=1 xfce wins in gaming performance. [16:17] mongy: yeah saw it :D [16:24] xfce is the best DE! :D === c_smith_ is now known as c_smith [18:51] hi [18:52] i have one question, how do i close down x so that i can install the nvidia driver? [18:53] Istvan: sudo /etc/inid.d/lightdm stop [18:53] It'll complain that you didn't use "sudo service lightdm stop", but it's the same thing. [18:53] Istvan: but better install the driver provided by ubuntu [18:54] In the "jockey" program. [18:54] ok, but where do i find that? [18:54] im a noob at linux, sorry [18:54] Menu > System > Additional Drivers [18:56] thx alot [18:56] The alot says you're welcome. [19:08] <{GiGi}> Hello. I'm pretty new with Linux, but could someone please tell me howcome I cannot connect the PC to the internet. Connection works as it was tested and no matter what option do I try, I can't get it to connect. Doesn't matter whether it's connected directly to the modem or to the router. Connection was tested when connected to the router. [19:08] any good osx lion type theme for xfce? [19:10] !themes [19:10] To change your theme in Xubuntu, go to Settings Manager » Appearance (GTK+ theme) or Settings Manager » Window Manager (xfwm4 theme) to change the theme - find more themes at http://xfce-look.org/ or http://gnome-look.org/ (for GTK+ themes) [19:10] mongy, ^^^ [19:30] good evening all..are the rules if I have a question just to go ahead and ask? [19:31] !ask [19:31] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [19:31] yes andythenoob [19:31] !ask [19:31] ;P andythenoob i just made the bot to tell you that :D [19:32] ok have been playing with a few distro's on an old emachines desktop amd64 chip with 1gb ram and an onboard radeon xpress 200g video card [19:33] the wifi is via a mini realtek dongle rl8188 into my ap [19:33] problems are: random disabling of wifi unit, to be precise the connection is dropped and cannot reconnect, even after a reboot...reconneciton is random [19:34] also i get random total system hang...the system just stops with a white screen that has a few vertical lines on it. reboot the only option [19:34] yeah, not really finding a good one there [19:34] have come to xubuntu to rule out the gui of other distros being the issue, love it and really want to perservere [19:35] no clue to be honest whre to start troubleshooting...im not a total novice but this distro is very new to me [19:35] thoughts? while the connection up I can run diags etc [19:35] update manager hangs every time i run it also [19:47] no thoughts any1? [19:48] andythenoob, care to do a test for me? [19:49] if it works your system will work [19:49] if not i might break it worse XD [19:49] ok its a fresh install, nothing to lose here [19:50] i had a machine with a similar problem a few months ago, the thing i did to make it work was changing lightdm back to gdm [19:51] so i unninstalled lightdm, with sudo apt-get purge lightdm && sudo apt-get install gdm [19:51] it then worked [19:51] no idea why [19:52] ok willing to try, that command is good to go right? [19:53] it will uninstall a dm and install another [19:54] ok i'll give it a go and see, bak soon s'pose, thanks [19:54] i wont break stuff beyond that, you can get lightdm back if you do the reverse [19:54] ok :) [21:06] so, just updated and lost the nvidia drivers, screen is at 800x600 and jockey doesnt want to install the nvidia drivers and tells me to look at /var/log/jockey.log > http://paste.ubuntu.com/839647/ [21:06] :( [21:07] this is why i hate to do updates [21:07] Without looking at the log, did you say Vbox? Also try jockey-text (terminal) [21:07] no vbox, normal box [21:08] jockey-text searchs for drivers and then closes with no error or anything just closes [21:09] the updates did updated xorg [21:10] Since I have a card not really supported, I find generating an Xorg.conf seems to fix my res. [21:12] i don't even know why i put myself in this kind of situations anymore, why do i keep doing updates... [21:13] I guess kernel updates aren't really needed with the 6 month release cycle, if you get them [21:13] i did not applied them [21:14] i avoided the kernel update, becuase of this, and this still happens [21:17] im trying another of the nvidia drivers now, current-updates instead of current, it seems to be going [21:17] * GridCube cross fingers [21:19] AWWWW ;_; [21:19] it did not work [21:19] dont tell me, i need to apply the kernel update [21:26] \o/ yay more errors! UPDATING IS FUN [21:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/839676/ [21:27] hi all gridcube helped me before with a wm change, but wireless disconnects seemingly randomly and I have to reboot to reconnect. No system crash yet though after changing. I did notice a dmesg about a segment fault in glcells so i turned off my screensaver as it kicked in when trying to use update manager.. thoughts on why the wireless card disconnects? Also I have a new driver on cd, but no idea how to install it. read [21:27] me is no goos and the install.sh doesn't seem to run. should i copy to the hdd and if so where is recommended in the filesystem? [21:27] am doing a command line apt-get update to see if that works [21:28] andythenoob, so changind the dm made the hanging and the 'having to reboot' go away? [21:29] ok, gonna reboot once again [21:32] hi gridcube. changing the dm so far hasn't hung the system but i did lose the wireless ...the realtek usb dongle disconn and would not reconn until a reboot [21:33] mmm i don't know about that [21:33] im thinking if the screensave caused this due to the messages in dmesg about seg fault? [21:33] what does lsusb says about your device? [21:34] oh! wait, i think i have it! one last reboot and i should have video drivers again [21:34] brb [21:37] :D [21:37] YES! [21:37] stuff works again [21:37] i am having problems with a graphics card [21:37] hi gc, lsusb says it is 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN . even when disconnected the device seems to be there, and will not conenct. reboot and all is ok [21:38] is the gdm an older dm than lightdm by the way? [21:38] yes [21:38] not exactly, canonical doesnt use it anymore, they use lightdm now [21:38] i cannot get the screen reso higher than 640X480 and its looks really weird [21:39] so its behind in that aspect but it keeps getting updates and stuff, just not from canonical [21:42] well then i guess ill jsut go back to win [21:42] andythenoob, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/795770 [21:42] Ubuntu bug 795770 in linux (Ubuntu) "Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
