| ubottu | 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 | 01:03 |
| fronk_ | I installed Xubuntu, but I'm getting my screen split in half. It's acting as if I have a dual monitor setup installed, where I need to move my mouse to the left side of the screen and past it to access the right side | 01:04 |
| fronk_ | any ideas | 01:07 |

| syddraf | I just got my new Dell laptop and installed Xubuntu on it. When I install nvidia-current as my driver and run nvidia-xconfig, then restart X, X will not restart. I have to rm my xorg.conf file in order to get it to start back up again. Can anyone help me with this? | 05:32 |
| well_laid_lawn | syddraf: are things working ok without a xorg.conf ? | 05:37 |
| syddraf | well_laid_lawn: Yes, except that when I run minecraft, it has heavy artifacting. | 05:37 |
| syddraf | well_laid_lawn: http://i.imgur.com/d3T60.png | 05:39 |
| well_laid_lawn | syddraf: you can make a new xorg.conf but move it to your home dir and compare what it comes up with to what the X log says | 05:40 |
| well_laid_lawn | it's probably backingstore or something not enabled | 05:41 |
| syddraf | well_laid_lawn: I'm afraid I don't follow. Are you saying to run nvidia-xconfig, then move it to ~/, and startx? | 05:41 |
| well_laid_lawn | syddraf: I'm saying to compare the values nvidia-xconfig makes to what the X log uses and works - how you do it is up to you | 05:42 |
| well_laid_lawn | in X is easier imo | 05:42 |
| well_laid_lawn | nvidia-xconfig might be getting some value wrong | 05:43 |
| syddraf | well_laid_lawn: Apparently, it isn't recognizing any devices. http://paste.ubuntu.com/874101/ Any thoughts? | 05:59 |
| well_laid_lawn | syddraf: that's the X log when having the xorg.conf in place apparently | 06:00 |
| well_laid_lawn | that | 06:01 |
| well_laid_lawn | s why I suggested moving it | 06:01 |
| well_laid_lawn | and comparing a X log from a working session to what nvidia-xconfig comes up with | 06:02 |
| syddraf | I have all of them, I'm just not sure what to be comparing. My knowledge of X is rather limited | 06:03 |
| well_laid_lawn | first thing I'd check is what pci device nvidia-xconfig finds compared to X | 06:12 |

| Guest70915 | hello! | 06:13 |

| ktwo | hI, yesterday i had to force poweroff xubuntu, and now i cant login to user (returned to login mask after inserting the correct pwd. What can i do to restore the user's data? (was encrypted) now im logged on with another user i created | 07:30 |
| well_laid_lawn | ktwo: do you have an ICEauthority still in that users dir? | 08:07 |
| well_laid_lawn | ktwo: should be with a dot .ICEauthority | 08:08 |
| ktwo | the thing is i cant even access it | 08:08 |
| ktwo | when i browse home/myuser | 08:08 |
| ktwo | because it was encrypted, and the current user does not have the key i guess | 08:09 |
| well_laid_lawn | I thought this might work sudo ls -a /home/otheruser | grep -i ice | 08:09 |
| TheMouldyMarsBar | It is. | 08:09 |
| TheMouldyMarsBar | Nobody is on #xubuntu-devel :( | 08:10 |
| well_laid_lawn | 36 ppl there | 08:10 |
| well_laid_lawn | prob sleeping atm | 08:11 |
| Unit193 | Some are, but there was no question and just because it's not busy doesn't mean there isn't anyone there. | 08:12 |
| beata1 | Couldn't sleep myself, tried to go on youtubeYour browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. | 09:19 |
| beata1 | Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video. | 09:19 |
| beata1 | Ack..that was meant to have been formatted. | 09:19 |
| TheSheep | !mp3 | 09:22 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 09:22 |
| beata1 | But yeah some videos won't play. Clinking that link tells me that I have webm supported by firefox. I know they changed from flash to html5 but I'm still learning what that is. *and opens the links* | 09:24 |
| beata1 | I read through those links and then searched for 'webm' amongst them and came up blank. | 09:40 |
| TheSheep | beata1: not all of yourube videos are webm, some are still flash, especially when they contain ads | 09:45 |
| beata1 | That could indeed be the case; was able to play a related video. And I haven't spotted anything that would tell me what video format it is. | 09:49 |
| TheSheep | !flash | 09:50 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 09:50 |
| beata1 | Ew, Flash. I thought they had got rid of it. *grumbles, but looks* | 09:51 |
| TheSheep | they actually got some deals with Adobe, so I doubt they will ever get rid of it | 09:53 |
| beata1 | I seem to have another problem; the Terminal windows have gone unresponsive | 09:57 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | beata1, ctrl-shift-q | 10:00 |
| beata1 | What is that meant to do? | 10:02 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | force quit the terminal | 10:03 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | if its locked | 10:03 |
| beata1 | I'll try to remember that for next time; I switched to console and killall -11 xfce-terminal | 10:11 |
| beata1 | And now I must power down. | 10:11 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | lol | 10:21 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | woops | 10:21 |
| ball | Is it practical to add LTSP to a Xubuntu machine after it has been installed? | 10:24 |
| ball | ...or does it require a reinstall? | 10:24 |
| TheSheep | nothing requires a reinstall | 10:27 |
| outlaw84 | Hey, I installed my computer with UTF-8 but I would like to change to ISO-8859-1 how do I do this? | 10:37 |
| TheSheep | outlaw84: you can select the locale you want on your login screen | 10:43 |
| TheSheep | outlaw84: but utf8 is a good choice | 10:43 |
| ball | Doesn't the first page of UTF8 map to 8859-1 anyway? | 10:46 |
| TheSheep | the ascii part, the first 128 characters | 10:58 |
| ball | TheSheep: ...what about the second 128 characters? | 10:59 |
| outlaw84 | while UTF-8 is nice, I really need to switch ti ISO-8859-1 due to communication with legacy systemes using ISO-8859-1, so does anyone know how to do that? :( | 11:01 |
| ball | outlaw84: Have you tried it? | 11:02 |
| ball | You may find it Just Works | 11:03 |
| TheSheep | outlaw84: I told you already, you can switch your locales at the login screen | 11:06 |
| TheSheep | outlaw84: also, if you are doing it through a terminal, you can switch locales in a single terminal session | 11:06 |
| outlaw84 | TheSheep: I'll try that, thanks | 11:09 |
| TheSheep | outlaw84: make sure you installed the right locale in system->languages | 11:11 |
| outlaw84 | quit | 13:01 |
| Witiko | Hello there! | 13:10 |

| hobgoblin | o/ | 14:27 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | chlinux, i dont know where your login screen option has gone, have a rummage for it | 14:28 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | look in all the menus | 14:28 |
| chlinux | i have | 14:28 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | oh wait | 14:28 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | type gdmsetup | 14:28 |
| chlinux | its driving me insane | 14:28 |
| chlinux | tried it and it comes back with "No command 'gdmsetup' found" | 14:29 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | oh | 14:30 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | you have a problem then | 14:30 |
| chlinux | hah | 14:30 |
| chlinux | :P | 14:30 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | find / -name gdmsetup | 14:31 |
| hobgoblin | lightdm unless it's an old one | 14:31 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | its prolly just not specified in your PATH | 14:31 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | hobgoblin, my xubuntu setup uses gdmsetup | 14:32 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | not lightdm | 14:32 |
| hobgoblin | mine hasn't since 11.10 | 14:33 |
| hobgoblin | acn't remember 11.04 | 14:33 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | im using 11.04 | 14:33 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | chlinux, did typing lightdm work? | 14:33 |
| chlinux | might be because it says "Failed to use bus name org.freedesktop.DisplayManager, do you have appropriate p | 14:34 |
| chlinux | ermissions? | 14:35 |
| chlinux | :P | 14:35 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | sudo lightdm | 14:35 |
| chlinux | still same message | 14:36 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | o.o | 14:36 |
| hobgoblin | chlinux: are you trying to set up autologin? | 14:37 |
| chlinux | yep | 14:37 |
| hobgoblin | ok - in a terminal are you? | 14:38 |
| chlinux | yep | 14:38 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | you can edit the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 14:38 |
| hobgoblin | that's the file ^^ | 14:38 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | set default-user to your username | 14:38 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | and timeout to 0 | 14:38 |
| chlinux | ill give it a go | 14:38 |
| hobgoblin | if oyu have that - ls /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 14:38 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | then sudo session lightdm restart | 14:38 |
| hobgoblin | chlinux: you want a screenie of mine? | 14:38 |

| Adriannom | hi. if i plug in a usb drive it appears in the sidebar of file manager for only a millisecond before disappearing again. kern.log says "Attached SCSI removable disk", and shows no errors. xubuntu 11.10. any ideas? | 15:23 |
| TheSheep | Adriannom: what does lsusb say? | 15:24 |
| Adriannom | Bus 001 Device 008: ID 0781:a7a8 SanDisk Corp. | 15:24 |
| TheSheep | Adriannom: do you have any partition on that disk? | 15:25 |
| TheSheep | is it formatted? | 15:25 |
| nyrpnz | WhereIsMySpoon: looks like a known bug https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-mono/2010-June/024016.html | 15:25 |
| Adriannom | sure, other usb drives behave the same way | 15:25 |
| Adriannom | it's formatted and contains data | 15:25 |
| Adriannom | other machines can access it | 15:25 |
| TheSheep | did you try a different port? | 15:26 |
| Adriannom | yup | 15:26 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | ok nyrpnz thanks | 15:26 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | RythmnBox works fine | 15:26 |
| nyrpnz | no problem, that is kind of odd... | 15:27 |
| nyrpnz | probably an error in the library somewhere | 15:27 |
| Adriannom | all ports in fact | 15:27 |
| Adriannom | back and front of the machine | 15:27 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | possibly, nyrpnz :) | 15:28 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | this works fine so no worries | 15:28 |
| Adriannom | TheSheep, oh and also it was working a few days ago | 15:28 |
| * TheSheep has no idea | 15:29 | |
| Adriannom | thanks anyway | 15:29 |
| Adriannom | i could try to mount it manually maybe? how would i do that? | 15:30 |
| Adriannom | sorry, that is a question for google | 15:31 |
| hobgoblin | Adriannom: you might find some useful information in syslog - try opening a terminal, running tail -f /var/log/syslog and then plug the thing in | 15:34 |
| Adriannom | cheers | 15:35 |
| hobgoblin | but other than that - no idea | 15:35 |
| Adriannom | mounting it manually works ok | 15:35 |
| Adriannom | so i guess it's something to do with whatever auto mounts usb stuff | 15:35 |
| Adriannom | syslog says same as kern.log | 15:35 |
| hobgoblin | try the tail thing then | 15:35 |
| Adriannom | says it's attached | 15:36 |
| hobgoblin | unmount it then have a look | 15:36 |
| Adriannom | No Caching mode page present, Assuming drive cache: write through, Attached SCSI removable disk | 15:36 |
| Adriannom | those lines appear when it's automounted | 15:36 |
| Adriannom | even though it goes away | 15:37 |
| Adriannom | no errors | 15:37 |
| Adriannom | hobgoblin, http://paste.ubuntu.com/874707/ | 15:40 |
| hobgoblin | more or less what it says here | 15:45 |
| hobgoblin | no idea I'm afraid | 15:46 |
| Adriannom | here? | 15:46 |
| Adriannom | ah | 15:46 |
| Adriannom | i get ya | 15:46 |
| Adriannom | thanks for checking :) | 15:46 |
| hobgoblin | but you get no message from anything when they are missing from thunar? | 15:49 |
| Adriannom | nothing i've checked, dmesg, syslog, kern | 15:49 |
| hobgoblin | have you checked what thunar is set to do - edit - prefs - advanced - volume management | 15:50 |
| Adriannom | hobgoblin, know what xubuntu uses to automount? | 15:50 |
| hobgoblin | afraid not | 15:51 |
| Adriannom | mount is ticked, browse isn't | 15:51 |
| hobgoblin | tick browse | 15:52 |
| hobgoblin | both here | 15:52 |
| hobgoblin | though I do not allow them to show on desktop | 15:52 |
| Adriannom | yeah i remember unticking that | 15:52 |
| Adriannom | weird if that's it | 15:52 |
| Adriannom | not it :( | 15:54 |
| hobgoblin | k - no idea then - sorry | 15:54 |
| Adriannom | still appears for only a fraction of a second, and doesn't open up the folder | 15:54 |
| Adriannom | thanks anyway | 15:54 |
| carlo5 | guys. im running a clean xubuntu install. now, i did 'apt-get install vlc-nox'.. however, when i run 'vlc', i get only the 'command line version' =/ what am i missing to get an actual gui? some qt/gtk framework(s) ? =o | 15:56 |
| hobgoblin | carlo5: vlc-nox is multimedia player and streamer (without X support) - try installing vlc | 15:59 |
| Adriannom | looks like a problem with xfdesktop | 15:59 |
| carlo5 | hobgoblin: oh gosh. i feel like such an idiot. please disregard everything i just wrote ;D *walks away in shame* | 16:00 |
| hobgoblin | carlo5: unsurprisingly - a lot of us have done something similar - such is life :) | 16:01 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | i havent | 16:01 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | <_> | 16:01 |
| hobgoblin | yet | 16:02 |
| carlo5 | probably => i guess i was confused when i typed 'vlc' after fresh install and apt suggested the 'vlc-nox' package; not a buzz about the actual vlc package =i works a charm now anyways | 16:02 |
| * hobgoblin check logs for #xubuntu | 16:02 | |
| hobgoblin | carlo5: cool | 16:02 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | hehe ^^ | 16:02 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | im sure ive done such things a million times | 16:03 |
| WhereIsMySpoon | it happens | 16:03 |

| StevenR | Hi. How do I stop the update manager appearing? I still want to check for updates, but not show the X11 application for updating. I use the xubuntu box as a server/mythtv box, so I see the updates when I log in through ssh, but they overlay on top of the mythtv window, which is annoying | 18:22 |
| patafian | hi | 18:25 |
| patafian | beata1: Wszystkiego Najlepszego :) | 18:32 |
| patafian | anybody here? :) | 18:32 |
| holstein | StevenR: i would try turning that off in the startup applications | 18:35 |
| holstein | its in the menu somewhere... let me know if you cant find it... should be a check box, and then you dont get the startup manger autostarting | 18:36 |
| StevenR | holstein: yeah, found it. Thanks... but will that leave the underlying daemon that checks for updates running? | 18:37 |
| holstein | StevenR: i dont think so... | 18:37 |
| StevenR | (like I still want to motd to show that updates are pending when I login via ssh) | 18:37 |
| holstein | thats the way i usually do it, and then run sudo apt-get update or whatever on my own | 18:37 |
| StevenR | yeah, but I have icinga checking for updates | 18:38 |
| holstein | StevenR: you'll have to just try it and see... i think it wont be checking for updates | 18:38 |
| StevenR | :( | 18:38 |
| holstein | StevenR: thats the only way i have set it up though | 18:38 |
| holstein | you can literally do what you like | 18:38 |
| holstein | a script that run sudp apt-get update every so often would do it | 18:39 |
| patafian | installation done. bye | 18:39 |
| pleia2 | I think something does still run to routinely look for updates (a long time ago I disabled the panel-level notifications, but it still shows me in terminal when I have updates, so update is being run) | 18:40 |
| pleia2 | I don't remember how I disabled the panel thing though :\ | 18:41 |
| holstein | yeah... i dont do auto updates on my server, and i get those messages | 18:41 |
| StevenR | holstein pleia2: seems that the way to do it is disable the startup app (the actual apt backend bit is a cron job). Thanks. | 18:53 |
| pleia2 | StevenR: good to know! :) | 18:54 |
| arthurjohnson | Well, couldn't wait any longer for 12.04. My laptop was pretty broken. I installed 11.10, went off without a hitch except the wireless driver. But a quick search of ubuntuforums fixed that. It amazes me how fast you can be up and running, been working all day from it. | 19:53 |
| starn | in xubuntu i've noticed on my LCD monitor that i can see moving wave like things.. kinda like what you see when you record a monitor with a camera.. is this fixable? the refresh rate is at 60.. | 20:00 |
| holstein | starn: messing with settings in a custom xorg.conf could help | 20:04 |
| starn | holstein: ok.. thanks.. man i hate editing xorg.conf.... often i break stuff lol | 20:05 |
| generalsnus | Ubuntu 11.10 : Is there a way to make OnBoard(onscreen keyb), automaticly popup when tapping a textfield? (Touchscreen) Or is it any other virtual keyboards that can popup when needed? | 20:06 |
| starn | this probably isn't the place... but i got musictube for windows... (costs money) and i'm wondering if i am able to get the linux binary's without having to dish out more money.. i'll even take the freaken source code if i gotta. | 20:07 |
| holstein | starn: i would ask whoever maintains that project | 20:07 |
| holstein | generalsnus: are you talking about in XFCE? or unity in main ubuntu? | 20:08 |
| starn | holstein: alright i'll see if i can find away to contact him | 20:08 |
| generalsnus | well i would settle for anything.. just need it to popup when entering a text field | 20:09 |
| holstein | generalsnus: cool.. by "it" im assuming the on-screen keyboard... are you using xubuntu? XFCE ? | 20:09 |
| holstein | or are you using ubuntu 11.10? as your first comment indicates | 20:09 |
| generalsnus | holstein: by "it" i mean im willing to use whaterver desktop to get it working.. currently im using ubuntu with unity.. didnt get any reply in #ubuntu among all the spam :P | 20:11 |
| holstein | generalsnus: OK.. this channel is for xubuntu, and XFCE... i will point you back to the main #ubuntu channel with patience, or you can try #ubuntu-beginners, or the forums, or http://askubuntu.com/ | 20:13 |
| holstein | i believe unity is likely to offer that since it is loosely tailored for touchscreens... | 20:13 |
| generalsnus | ok, thanks | 20:15 |
| starn | hey holstein is there any other progames like musictube? or just the one? i'm not to great at coding. or i'd make my own. | 20:23 |
| holstein | starn: what is it that you are trying to do? | 20:24 |
| holstein | theres an ubuntu version | 20:25 |
| holstein | i would just play the youtube video personally, or ask the content creator for a copy, or where to purchase a copy | 20:26 |
| starn | holstein: i know there's a ubuntu version but i already paid for windows.. lol i'm looking for free alternivtive i emailed him just now.. i'm waiting. hoping to get some kinda discount for paying for windows copy.. but yeah.. i used to use youtube but this is more orginized and more like my media player.. guess i can see if he has source code up for download. | 20:27 |
| starn | i know minitube is free. | 20:27 |
| starn | holstein: also i have issue with youtube website hogging half my memory and CPU power.. and this program don't. | 20:28 |
| holstein | if you bought a licence, then you have whatever that agreement gives you | 20:28 |
| holstein | i bet it'll be no trouble | 20:28 |
| starn | holstein: true.. though i don't remember seeing a licence. haha! welp off to reading to see what it says if it has one | 20:29 |
| holstein | i dont go to youtube for my entertainment typically, so i cant say i have any suggestions other than just that one... | 20:29 |
| starn | holstein: ... i'm an idiot i can probably run in wine.. than again that kinda defeats the purpos of using less memory | 20:30 |
| starn | oh huh ok guess i'll use in wine.. for it uses less memory and CPU than xubuntu's update manager. | 20:33 |
| starn | huh i am having issue with nvidia controls and my monitors.. the brightness settings are not working anymore. | 21:04 |
| starn | holstein: !!! the guy replied! and gave me a link to download ubuntu version! super awesome | 21:24 |
| starn | wow.... 11.10 supports install of 32bit apps even though it's 64bit os???? please please please say yes | 21:25 |
| holstein | starn: there are32 and 64 bit versions, depends on which you have installed | 21:28 |
| starn | holstein:what if there is only a 32bit version of the app? | 21:30 |
| holstein | starn: then i would install the 32bit version of ubuntu | 21:30 |
| starn | ugh.... i already have it luckly on a nother hard drive... | 21:31 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit#How_to_Make_32-bit_Applications_Work_on_a_64-bit_Operating_System | 21:31 |
| starn | wow that made me slightly confused i dunno if i should be happy or sad. | 21:33 |
| holstein | there are 2 machines i run 64bit versions of ubuntu on.. one is my audio production machine, the other is a server | 21:36 |
| holstein | otherwise, i see little advantage typically for the average desktop machine to be running 64bit... desktop or laptop | 21:36 |
| GridCube | tho, in theory multiarch should allow for 32bit packages to be installed on 64bit machines, i don't know if multiarch is part of 11.10 tho | 21:37 |
| starn | holstein: this sadly isn't an avg machine.... well i guess to some it is. i play games that are 64bit support only.. | 21:37 |
| GridCube | games? windows games? | 21:38 |
| holstein | starn: then, you can chroot, or you can look into mutliarch | 21:38 |
| holstein | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec | 21:38 |
| holstein | you can ask the project maintainer for 64bit support | 21:38 |
| starn | apparently multiarch already installed. | 21:40 |
| GridCube | then it should work | 21:40 |
| GridCube | i do remark the *should* | 21:41 |
| starn | it's asking for libphonon but i already have.. lol guess it needs the 32bit one.. this would probably be easier to just reboot into the other hard drive | 21:41 |
| holstein | or chroot, since i know that works... or look for a PPA for multiarch | 21:46 |
| starn | i have issue with chroot.. $ schroot -l | 22:06 |
| starn | E: /etc/schroot/chroot.d/hardy_i386.conf: line 0: Invalid line: “ [hardy_i386]” is the error i get... sorry for multi post :\ computer acting up | 22:07 |
| holstein | dont you just want to listen inthe browser ? ;) | 22:07 |
| holstein | check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot | 22:08 |
| starn | holstein: i like fact this works almost excatly like my favorite media player even has lyrics and i can disable the fact it shows videos with lowers the demand on resources. and that's what i am looking at right now | 22:09 |
| holstein | starn: yeah, i know... convinience.. im just wondering when the scale tips for you | 22:09 |
| starn | holstein: i am a determined person.. one time i spent a week configuring multi monitor.. | 22:10 |
| holstein | well, i have little projects im still messing about with after years actually ;) | 22:10 |
| starn | holstein: yeah i followed the instruction on the debootstrap to the teeth and it gives me the error i showed. | 22:11 |
| holstein | i have a 32 bit application that i would *like* to run on my 64bit 10.04 install, but i just get another machine and get things done :) | 22:11 |
| holstein | starn: i was thinking about the part that says... | 22:12 |
| holstein | Note: if you copy this example to your clipboard, be careful to start each line in column 1 before you save the new file! If you forget, the command schroot -l will fail with an error, e.g. E: /etc/schroot/chroot.d/hardy_i386.conf: line 0: Invalid line: “ [hardy_i386]”. | 22:12 |
| starn | holstein: if i cannot get this working i have half in mind to get my old desktop and fix her up | 22:12 |
| holstein | which is exactly your error AFAIK | 22:12 |
| starn | holstein: yeah i manually typed all of it.. by "column 1" what does it mean?? | 22:13 |
| holstein | not sure, but id say, you have it the wrong way | 22:13 |
| starn | well i think i fixed that error now i get another error.. ugh | 22:14 |
| starn | says "[hardy_i386]: required key 'directory' is missing" sooo i assume something is missing. | 22:14 |
| ThePendulum | I accidentely removed the trash folder from my hard drives and now the trash bin obviously won't work | 22:49 |
| ThePendulum | How do I restore it? | 22:49 |
| GridCube | ThePendulum, they are automagically created each time you boot | 22:53 |
| ThePendulum | Hmpf, strange | 22:53 |
| ThePendulum | I booted quite a few times now | 22:54 |
| starn | holstein: i got it to work... honestly i have no clue how. | 23:17 |
| starn | holstein: nvm..... it kinda works kinda don't.. i get in debug window "phonon backend plugin could not be loaded" so it won't play | 23:19 |
