[00:55] <ThePendulum> Damned
[00:55] <ThePendulum> I still can't remove files from my hard drives :|
[01:00] <holstein> ThePendulum: ? ... sudo rm them
[01:00] <ThePendulum> The trash bin is gone
[01:00] <holstein> OK
[01:01] <holstein> just rm them, or right click and delete them in the gui, or highlight and hit the delete key
[01:01] <creativetux> Is the filesystem mounted as read only?
[01:02] <holstein> you likely just removed the icon in the file manager, or where ever you are looking
[01:12] <ThePendulum> It's a bit inconvenient to run the terminal for each file I'd like to delete
[01:12] <ThePendulum> I removed the trash folder, as I said earlier
[01:13] <ThePendulum> "or right click and delete them in the gui, or highlight and hit the delete key" <-- Thanks, but seriously.
[01:15] <holstein> ThePendulum: ?
[01:15] <holstein> i think that should delete the files... does it work?
[01:22] <creativetux> ThePendulum, in that case goto Settings, Desktop and then the Icons tab and tick it back on ?
[01:22] <holstein> i find it a bit inconvenient to click and drag or right click or whatever
[01:23] <creativetux> holstein, I'm with you on that, just select the files and then hit the big Delete key on the kb
[01:23] <holstein> maybe im just assuming those issues are related... maybe its like "i deleted the trash, *and*, in an unrelated issue i cant delete files"
[01:24] <GridCube> ThePendulum, http://nongeeksight.blogspot.com/2006/07/configuring-trash-bin-for-xubuntu.html
[01:24] <GridCube> lol 2006...
[01:24] <GridCube> XD
[01:24] <holstein> ThePendulum: anyways, im sure if you give us more to go on someone can help you sort out whatever is going on
[01:24] <ThePendulum> I didn't remove any icons, I removed the actual .Trash-000 folders on two of my hard drives
[01:25] <holstein> i assume you tried adding it back?
[01:25] <ThePendulum> Affirmative
[01:25] <holstein> and?
[01:25] <holstein> ThePendulum: what error?
[01:26] <holstein> how did you try?
[01:26] <holstein> were you root?
[01:26] <ThePendulum> But it doesn't seem to recognize them as trash bins, the error continues to show up
[01:26] <ThePendulum> Yes
[01:26] <ThePendulum> holstein: "Unable to find or create trash directory."
[01:26] <ThePendulum> I'll just try to add the trash folder again, perhaps it works now
[01:27] <ThePendulum> Let me login again
[01:28] <creativetux> ThePendulum, delete them and they get created automatically
[01:28] <holstein> but you *can* delete them correct?
[01:28] <holstein> ....
[01:28] <holstein> creativetux: that what i assumed
[01:28] <creativetux> If you delete a .Trash folder, the next time you delete something in the GUI it will recreate them automatically
[01:28] <ThePendulum> It should, but if it could the error wouldn't show up, would it?
[01:29] <ThePendulum> "Unable to find or CREATE trash directory"
[01:29] <holstein> sudo mkdir it
[01:29] <ThePendulum> I did, won't work
[01:29] <holstein> rm them, and re-log, and they should just come back.. have you done that?
[01:29] <ThePendulum> Affirmative
[01:29] <holstein> why are they deleted?.. were you doing other things? is there a page you were pasting in from?
[01:30] <ThePendulum> I removed them because I thought they were left from when Windows was using the disks
[01:30] <holstein> ThePendulum: you *can* delete files, correct? the issue you have is un-deleting, correct?
[01:30] <ThePendulum> I wasn't aware Ubuntu called the trash bin .Trash-000
[01:30] <ThePendulum> holstein: Undeleting? No, I can't remove them by simply clicking 'delete' because there's no trash bin on the disk
[01:31] <holstein> ThePendulum: can you delete files/directories from the commandline?
[01:31] <ThePendulum> sudo rm works for sure, but that's a tad annoying
[01:31] <holstein> im just trying to be clear.. you *can* delete.. you are missing trash functionality.. like undelete
[01:32] <ThePendulum> holstein: Lol, no, I can NOT delete anything, for there is no trash dir present on the hard disks
[01:32] <creativetux> Sounds like permission or chown problem on the trash or the home folder so Thunar can't create it
[01:32] <ThePendulum> Open folder --> Select file --> Hit [delete] or rightclick:Delete --> Error("Unable to find or create trash directory")
[01:33] <creativetux> from the terminal can you delete using gvfs-trash <file to delete>  ?
[01:34] <holstein> ThePendulum: but you *can* delete using the commandline or no? im trying to make sure this is not something permissions related
[01:34] <ThePendulum> niels@niels-main:/mnt/stor1/Videos/TV/Blackadder$ gvfs-trash "Blackadder Icon.ico"
[01:34] <ThePendulum> Error trashing file: Unable to find or create trash directory
[01:34] <ThePendulum> holstein: I can only delete using sudo rm
[01:34] <holstein> OK, so you *can* delete... you likely have no permissions issues keeping files from being removed
[01:35] <ThePendulum> I can completely remove a file, but not 'trash' it by hitting [delete] or using the menu
[01:35] <creativetux> ThePendulum, check this out, you might need a .Trash and a .Trash-xxxx folder for files outside of your home: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103194
[01:35] <GridCube> ThePendulum, what if you create a .trash folder?
[01:35] <ThePendulum> GridCube: I did that, it won't work for some reason
[01:36] <holstein> ThePendulum: yeah, but you didnt actually create a .trash directory
[01:36] <ThePendulum> Then what did I create?
[01:36] <creativetux> .Trash is for "home" files, the .Trash-1000 is for outside of home files
[01:36] <holstein> you likely created .Trash-000 or whatever
[01:36] <ThePendulum> I created a whole bunch of trash folders with different names
[01:36] <holstein> i think i would do *exactly* what GridCube suggests and see if it works
[01:36] <riddlebox> is there a way to stop thunar from opening every time I login?
[01:37] <ThePendulum> Wait, I got it now
[01:38] <GridCube> riddlebox, close a session with the "remember session" box checked, then it will remember you had nothing, also uninstall nautilus if you happen to have it, it remembers even if you tell it bnot to
[01:39] <riddlebox> GridCube, I will try it out thanks
[02:04] <leo-unglaub> hi, has someone worked with the SpaceFM file manager on xfce ubuntu?
[02:06] <GridCube> nope
[02:10] <riddlebox> GridCube, actually you dont have to remove nautilus, http://www.robsearles.com/2008/11/25/xubuntu-nautilus-overtakes-xfce-on-startup/
[02:11] <riddlebox> just rm -Rf /home/user/.cache and it works just fine
[02:11] <GridCube> well removing nautilus is always a good idea :P
[02:11] <riddlebox> :) it would have removed gnome-session and I do like to bounce into gnome3 once in a while
[02:12] <GridCube> well :) good it works then
[02:12] <riddlebox> yup
[08:18] <geek__> just wanna say moved from win7 to xubuntu and love it :)
[08:19] <hobgoblin> nice
[08:20] <geek__> it put life back into my laptop
[08:20] <geek__> unreal
[11:45] <nimrod10> hi all , how do I change the notification settings to use notify-osd instead of xfce4-notifyd ? I have them both installed on a xubuntu 11.10 system
[11:47] <TheSheep> nimrod10: I guess you select one with update-alternatives
[11:49] <nimrod10> TheSheep, how would I use update-alternatives ? what <name> should I use ?
[11:51] <TheSheep> nimrod10: I have no idea
[11:52] <nimrod10> thanks anyway :)
[11:53] <nimrod10> TheSheep, notification is not in the list of changable alternatives, just found out by   sudo update-alternatives --get-selections | less
[12:23] <martii> hey :)
[14:58] <alexandru4392> hello
[14:59] <alexandru4392> which dock should i choose
[14:59] <alexandru4392> awn,cairo or docky
[14:59] <ThePendulum> lol
[14:59] <alexandru4392> what
[15:00] <ThePendulum> that's your choice
[15:00] <Sysi> whatever feels best for you
[15:00] <Sysi> cairo has most options, I think docky is simplest
[15:00] <alexandru4392> using cairo
[15:01] <alexandru4392> and why does it shrink when it is full of icons
[15:01] <Sysi> to fit to screen?
[15:02] <alexandru4392> i have put lots of icons into the dock and now it's unreadable
[15:03] <ThePendulum> You may remove some then?
[15:08] <alexandru4392> removed some icons
[15:08] <alexandru4392> and now it is good
[15:16] <vas> hi there
[15:16] <vas> there is an utility chkconfig
[15:17] <alexandru4392> yes
[15:17] <vas> i do not know why it is not installed in xubuntu, how possible without it to disable services?
[15:19] <alexandru4392> does anybody want to see how my customized xubuntu looks like
[15:19] <vas> i actually installed it, but it doesn't work  - /sbin/insserv: No such file or directory
[15:19] <alexandru4392> for vas:sudo apt-get install chkconfig
[15:19] <vas> i did it
[15:20] <alexandru4392> for me it works
[15:20] <vas> try to: sudo chkconfig pulseaudio off
[15:20] <Sysi> it's used for sysv initscripts which are replaced by upstart
[15:20] <vas> I got: /sbin/insserv: No such file or directory
[15:20] <alexandru4392> it says pulseaudio on
[15:21] <Sysi> you need something to configure upstart
[15:22] <alexandru4392> does anybody want to see my desktop after theming and customization
[15:23] <vas> you mean /etc/rc5.d and just remove pulse by hand?
[15:23] <manuel__> Hello there =) I'm new at Xubuntu =)
[15:24] <vas> why chkconfig doesn't work? it should
[15:24] <Sysi> vas: before that I'd use apt-get, or maybe rename it. I don't really know upstart
[15:24] <Sysi> why should it? it's for old init system, even back then sysv-rc-config was better
[15:24] <knome> manuel__, hey
[15:25] <manuel__> knome? do u understand german?
[15:25] <Sysi> though I'm not sure how compatible upstart is with sysv
[15:25] <manuel__> I#m from germany and very interesstet in use linux dists
[15:26] <manuel__> I'll be back in a few min. clean up my room...
[15:27] <knome> !de | manuel__
[15:27] <vas> if chkconfig shows services it should be able to manage them
[15:28] <Sysi> somewhere should read that LoCo channels also do derivatives if they don't have own localized channel
[15:28] <Sysi> vas: seeing and editing are quite different
[15:29] <vas> have you read man for chkconfig?
[15:30] <Sysi> nope
[15:30] <vas> do it, please
[15:31] <knome> hum
[15:35] <Sysi> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1559266
[15:35] <Sysi> trying to find info that tells (me) chkconfig actully works
[15:38] <vas> I see - for ubuntu chkconfig is deprecated, one has to use update-rc.d, thanks - will try
[15:45] <vas> it works, thanks
[15:51] <manuel__> vielen dank ubottu
[15:51] <manuel__> ist der #ubuntu-de channel auch auf diesem server vertreten?

I am reading through, HOW TO manual on reporting bugs and it says to provide info on a package that causes probles. How on earth should I provide anything since the system didn't install?

[17:12] <Luisa> Hey, i got a problem: I used Ubuntu on my netbook and there I am using LightDM with this nice red design. Now I installed Xubuntu on my other machine and there is LightDM, too, but it is very ugly. I just searched and found a config-file, but every time i try changing, nothing is working
[17:13] <Luisa> where do I get this ubuntu or other themes?

[19:47] <ra1ndr0p> I have gotten all of the drivers installed through ndiswrapper but even after reboot there is no option for connecting through wireless
[19:49] <well_laid_lawn> you need to know the chip on the wifi dongle to find out what module it needs

[21:09] <ahcrap> hi folks
[21:10] <ahcrap> got a question ( prob useless)  how come Xubuntu is suposed to be based on xfce and its filled to the guillies with gnome crap ?
[21:14] <jadoe> How do I set default sound output? From time to time HDMI out is selected after reboot, instead of Analog Stereo out.
[21:16] <luroh> jadoe: i had a similar problem with onboard sound vs pci sound card and ended up blacklisting the onboard driver
[21:16] <luroh> but perhaps you're not interested in blacklisting anything
[21:18] <luroh> let me boot up that machine and check, perhaps i found a better way and left some notes around for future reference...
[21:18] <jadoe> one and the same onboard chip handles both, blacklisting doesn't help me
[21:19] <luroh> i see
[21:23] <luroh> jadoe: fwiw, i added the following at the end of my alsa-base.conf
[21:24] <luroh> options snd-emu10k1 index=0
[21:24] <luroh> options snd-via82xx index=1
[21:24] <luroh> but as you say, that may not apply in your case
[21:25] <luroh> (in my case, i wanted the soundblaster pci card to be the default at every boot)
[21:34] <jadoe> I just found out how to set this from terminal: pactl set-card-profile 0 output:analog-stereo. I'll autorun it on login, I guess.
[21:34] <jadoe> Thanks anyway
[21:35] <luroh> np, thanks for that tip
[22:34] <flo_> hi everybody.... sorry for my bad english, but i'm italian
