BrianMasinickJust stopping in to say "Hi" as I install Beta 2 of Xubuntu 12.04; have had great success with several previous versions.00:16
BrianMasinickLooks as if the installation is almost over: the GRUB selections are being created using "update-grub".00:21
BrianMasinickI hope this release uses the Debian firmware-b43-installer package instead of that old Broadcom STA driver for wireless firmware.00:22

SuperbestHi, I'm using the xubuntu 11.10 alternate install cd for i386 from a usb drive and my install is failing on the "select and install software" step03:44
holsteinSuperbest: i would confirm the ISO.. i would try formatting the stick..i would try the other image.. i would try a CD, or a different stick03:46
SuperbestI tried the first two03:47
FerchoLPI'm not sure what "alternate" version is for. I've always used regular iso with Unetbootin both to install from usb and use the live version03:47
Superbestthird isn't an option, I need drive encryption03:47
holsteinSuperbest: the alternates are challening to use with USB.. so maybe try a CD03:47
SuperbestI wish I had an empty cd close by03:48
SuperbestApparently the following packages are causing problems: memtest86+, man-db, ubuntu-standard, ntfs-3g, ufw, irqbalance, openssh-client, popularity-contest, apparmor, ca-certificates, libcurl3-gnutls, apt-transport-https03:49
Superbestring any bells?03:49
holsteinSuperbest: sure, if the image is bad03:50
holsteinor the stick03:50
Superbestbut the md5 is fine03:50
Superbestand I tried unetbootin and lili03:50
Superbestand both get the same thing03:50
holsteincool... i would try a different stick..i always format before03:51
Superbesti did format03:51
holsteini literally just *never* use the alternate images anymore with USB03:51
FerchoLPI'm running Xubuntu 11.10. I have /home in a separate partition. If I do a fresh install of Xubuntu 12.04, is it expected to work? I know simple programs like  .dropbox, .filezilla and that kind of stuff won't be a problem, but will I have problems with folders like .libreoffice, .gconf, .config/xfce4 ?03:53
holsteinshouldnt matter.. try it.. and try #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 support FerchoLP03:54
FerchoLPok, thanks :)03:54

noname120I get issues with wireless :10:34
noname120I've a broadcom wifi chip with the driver installed10:34
noname120I've the networking applet but this one only allow to connect to a wired connection: I can't see the wireless access points... How can I fix it ?10:35
Os_Maleusnoname120: try to reboot. if it won't work out, You need to find out what adapter is built in into Your machine.10:42
Os_Maleusnoname120: ... and google for solutions.10:42
noname120I boot hundred times10:42
noname120My wifi chip works great on backtrack10:42
noname120I can't find any10:43
noname120How can I check if my wifi chip is activated ?10:43
Os_Maleusshould work somehow with the information of lsmod10:48
Os_Maleusbut You need to say as well, which machine You are running, if You expect seriously helpful answers.10:50
SandJWhat is the provided / recommended text search utility for Xubuntu?   That is, I want to search a directory structure for any file containing "some text".  (I have tried Catfish with "Fulltext search" but it either fails to find anything or returns "Fatal error, search was aborted")10:59
noname120I run xubuntu on my external harddrive: I've a broadcom wifi chip and i installed the driver with the software provided on xubuntu.10:59
noname120Broadcom 43XX  IIRC11:00
Os_Maleusbroadcom is having trouble with the drivers for the adapter, which is managing the bluetooth and the wifi simultanously.11:04
Os_Maleusnoname120: http://pastebin.com/ZnPE0vpc11:12
Os_Maleusnoname120: that is how I have solved it. I need to leave now. sorry!11:12
noname120thanks11:13
SandJI have worked out the answer to my own "best text search tool" question.  It is to install the gnome-search-tool package.12:13
xubuntu405I am working on customizing xubuntu 11.10. I want to place two shortcut icons on the desktop. What directory is responsible for holding these files?12:32
xubuntu405I have two xubuntus installed. One is a testing environment and the other is the customization one. In the testing environment I have made two shortcuts and now I need to place them in a proper directory in the customized installation environment. I don't know this directory.12:34
SandJIs it a file in directory ~/Desktop called whatever containing [Desktop Entry] and Name=Whatever Program v712:40
SandJOr in your case, copy the contents of ~/Desktop from the testing environment to your customization environment.12:42
loppyhello?12:45
SandJHello.12:45
loppydo you like grilled cheese?12:46
SandJIs that a Synaptic Package?12:46
loppyno, it is a sandwitch12:47
SandJMy Ubuntu netbook came with Cheese webcam software, if that helps.  But it did not have any "grill" function.12:48
SandJSandwitch?  Is that the repository?12:48
loppyok my netbook came with a webcam but how can i get it to work in Xubuntu i can only get it to work with the windows7 that it came with12:51
loppySandJ?12:52
loppyhello?12:54
loppyvolar mini?12:54
loppyben_says?12:55
SandJ@loppy, does your netbook have a CD drive?  If not, do you have an external CD drive you can plug into it?13:01
loppyno i dont have a cd drive13:02
SandJThat's a shame, installing from CD is easiest.  Will it boot from a bootable USB memory stick?13:03
loppyyes it can13:04
SandJHere are some non-CD drive options: http://www.jonlee.ca/installing-xubuntu-without-a-cd-drive-the-weekend-project-continued/13:05
SandJUSB stick method: download the Xubuntu .ISO you want, then follow these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick13:06
loppyok thank you! i will try this out...13:07
SandJYou're welcome.  Enjoy your Welsh Rarebit.  :-)13:08
loppyit is working! thanks!13:08
STCyo - babble  u there?14:41
babbleSTC: mostly, yeah14:41
STCcool, running xubuntu live on usb, seems smoother than wubi!14:42
babbledid you get a USB drive made with a writeable filesystem?14:42
babbleah, told you it would :)14:42
STCyeh this is perfect for me14:42
babbleit's not trying to shoehorn a complete Xubuntu environment into the application available RAM on that machine now.14:42
STCyeh14:42
babbleWUBI is more-or-less akin to running in a VM14:42
STCoh wow14:42
babbleThe other thing you can do is get a small portable drive and do a Xubuntu installation on that14:43
STCwould that be faster than usb? most portable drives are usb right?14:44
babblewell, it depends on the portable hd of course, but nearly any would be generally faster than a flash drive.14:44
STCeek14:45
babblejust as a rough example: I have SanDisk cruzer flash drives I use as installation media instead of CD/DVD media - a clean, nuke the system partition and reinstall from those is ~20-30 mins14:45
STCgetting bursts of lagg14:45
STClike freezing14:45
STCand this thing called debconf keeps popping up14:45
babbleI have my portable HD I image my system to, and that's a live system you can install from. Installing from THAT is ~5 mins14:46
babbleit's probably the flash drive you're using14:46
STCnice14:46
STCah14:46
babbleand debconf is trying to configure something you've installed.14:46
STCyeah this pendrive is from like 2006, data traveler 2gb14:46
STCyeah i am installing chromium as we speak - just finished14:47
babbleyou probably don't have much room left over for the casper writeable image. Don't install too much on it14:47
STCeverythings smoother now though14:47
STCyeah14:47
babblewhat you ideally want is a cheap ~50-100gb portable hd to do this on14:47
STCgonna try to get wine and run jedi academy which is installed on my xp , gonna try to go through the xp filesystem and run the .exe14:47
Guest74131hello14:47
STCcool14:47
babbleI wouldn't, from that flash drive14:47
babbleit's probably going to be painfully slow14:48
babblehiya Guest7413114:48
STCthis is just temporary tbh, i have a good gaming pc, but i had some issues and had to come back to live with parents14:48
STCotherise first thing id do is get moar ram!! lol14:49
babblehehe.14:49
babblethese days, ideally, you want 1gb or more to run Xubuntu comfortably14:49
STCyeh14:49
STCeven xp i like 2gb for gaming14:49
STCat least14:49
SysiXP :(14:50
STCxubuntu! :)14:50
Guest74131hey guys, someone may recommend me a distro for a AMD 1,6gh 256 RAM 80 hd , i have xubuntu now but my system don't work lightly with it, sorry for my bad english14:50
babbleGuest74131: for folks looking for lightweight, most folks seem to gravitate to Lubuntu, if you want a lightweight Ubuntu distro14:51
Guest74131and support torrent download14:52
babbleany current desktop environment should support a torrent client, depending on which client you want; if you use Lubuntu/LXDE, you probably don't want to use a KDE torrent client, as it'll need plenty of KDE dependencies to run14:52
Guest74131umm, linux is more hard for a novel that i suppose ...jejje14:54
babbleGuest74131: I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean.14:54
Guest74131i never work with linux14:55
Guest74131and i have a old pc14:55
babbleGuest74131: by, 'hard for a novel' do you mean you need an office suite?14:55
Guest74131that i want to use for download, navigate, etc14:55
Sysilinux won't make that machine new, it will be slow anyway14:56
babbleGuest74131: if you want to stay with Ubuntu, but you want something lighter-weight than Xubuntu, try Lubuntu. But, yes, it won't magically be dramatically faster.14:56
Sysibut lubuntu should have everything for basic usage by default14:56
Guest74131and i think in linux cause is more ligth than windows14:56
Guest74131i try lubuntu, so14:57
Guest74131i try vector linux and is more ligth, but so much difficult for a novel , this is that i mean before14:58
Sysialso, if there's ubuntu channel using your native language, they should know about lubuntu and xubuntu too14:58
Guest74131xubuntu is more easy because is more similar to windows14:58
babbleGuest74131: I'm still not sure what you mean, but if you want a decent, all-around word processor, and you need an alternative to LibreOffice, you may have a look at Abiword14:59
Guest74131jejeje14:59
Guest74131i don't know how i enter in my native chat XD14:59
Guest74131but you all are more kindly14:59
SandJ@Guest74131, that 256 MB RAM is very low.  It will be very slow.14:59
Sysibabble: I guess hea means "newbie" with "novel"14:59
Sysi!sp14:59
Sysi!es15:00
ubottuEn la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #xubuntu-es; escriba "/join #xubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. Si nadie responde, puedes intentar preguntando en #ubuntu-es.15:00
babbleSysi: I'd thought of that, too, but I'm taking a bit of a shot in the dark.15:00
Guest74131ow yes, newbie, i sorry XD i am spanish15:00
Guest74131gracias ubottu15:00
Guest74131thaks for all!15:01
grifo74hello how i see my shared folders in thunar15:22
Sysifind them with gigolo15:23
grifo74how__15:23
STCi lovesss xubuntu - makes my slow pc zoom zoom15:24
grifo74in past i use pclinuxos xfce and in thunar exist a icon to see network15:25
babblegrifo74: if you're in a current version of thunar, you can also get a network browser in Thunar, if you like.15:28
babblegrifo74: Do Ctrl-L and do:15:29
babblenetwork:///15:29
grifo74network:/// after ctrl L notihing apen15:31
babblegrifo74: do you have gvfs-backends installed?15:31
grifo74no15:32
grifo74thnaks i go install15:32
babblegrifo74: in your terminal, do:15:32
babblesudo apt-get install gvfs-backends15:32
grifo74work perfectly15:38
STCsilly question, but how do i change the time? its wrong and cant find any setting to change it15:52
babblein Gnome Control Center, see Date & Time15:54
babbleYou can also open the launcher for it directly in /usr/share/applications15:55
STCcool thanks16:02
babblesigh16:10
babbleit looks like lag is going to stalk me all day16:10
STCaw16:12
STChey i notice i cant trash any files, just SHIFT + DEL perma delete16:12
babbleyou're using the live user16:12
babbleto trash anything in the usual way, you need to install on something and log into a user account16:13
STCthats the one i am suposed to do right?16:13
STCah16:13
babblethe system you're logged into isn't intended to be a permanent system16:13
STCi see16:13
STCwith my 1.2gb filesystem lol16:13
babblehehe.16:13
babblelike I said, if you want to *keep* a portable system, you'll want something roomy enough you can install on and have a regular home directory, etc.16:14
STCyeh16:14
nikihrHey is it possible to remove the ugly "handle" on windows in the bottom right corner?18:16
babblenikihr: with a different xfwm/gtk theme, probably18:17
babbleI use a frameless window theme, but some apps (thunar, a couple of others) will still draw a resize thumb18:18
babblebut with an unobtrusive gtk theme, it's not much to notice.18:18
babblenikihr: see: http://ubuntuone.com/1rR0TaOSzqs9ypUeF9JrP518:21
nikihrbabble: http://imgur.com/23ygC18:26
babblenikihr: for terminal, without grabbing the source yourself, I don't think there18:27
babblethere's an easy way to get rid of the thumb.18:27
babblefor everything else, experiment with a different gtk theme you may like better18:27
nikihrits only for xubuntu users18:28
nikihri had fedora with same xfce version and this problem wasnt there18:28
babbleI don't regularly use other distros, so I can't help you troubleshoot differences between Fedora and Ubuntu.18:29
babblesome folks on sites like Deviantart claim that Ubuntu and Debian packagers regularly make changes to their gtk packages that make theming for them do unexpected things, so if that's true, it may be because of that18:30
nikihr:(18:30
nikihrannoying :P18:30
babbleif you prefer fedora, why not just stick with Xfce in Fedora?18:30
nikihri never said i prefered fedora18:31
nikihr:P18:31
nikihri want ubuntu18:31
babbleif you're bound and determined to look for issues, you'll find them.18:31
babblein any case, if it's true that it's coming from either Ububtu or Debian upstream, it may be something to take up in appropriate channels with folks who can do something to suit your taste.18:35
holsteinnikihr: you might see a way to login to an XFCE session instead of xubuntu-desktop18:46
holsteinyou dont have to use xubuntu to get xfce in ubuntu18:46
nikihri can try that :)18:47
nikihrstill the same :(18:49
holsteinnikihr: i didnt mean to suggest that would be an  easy fix for whatever youf issue is18:50
holsteinim suggesting that might be a more "default" place to start18:50
holsteinif you are concerned about the ubuntu repackaged versions of XFCE18:50
babbleit may be a specific design decision that Ubuntu packagers have made, to try and draw a resize thumb as a user experience issue.18:50
babbleI can't say for certain that claims made on Deviant, say, are true; just that I can see UX argument for it, if it is true.18:51
holsteinwell, deviant doesnt make an operating system, and that is fact18:52
babbleholstein: oh, I know. I'm thinking specifically of claims that get made like the comment thread here: http://lassekongo83.deviantart.com/journal/Confussling-292596160#comments18:53
babbleI'm not saying that Deviant commenters are right or wrong on the issue, necessarily18:53
holsteinyeah, im just presenting the idea that they *could* be wrong18:53
babbleI *am* saying that if it's true that either Ubuntu or Debian packagers have made specific changes to their gtk packages, I can see a user experience argument for trying to draw a resize thumb even if a given theme says not to18:54
holsteinmost folks really appreciate and take advantage of the ubuntu packaging that seems to make things easier... unless it doesnt.. then you probably need to explore other avenues19:00
grifo74hi people one software to make folder backups like fwbackup19:08
babblegrifo74: I do /home backups with rsync.19:08
babbleI'll post my backup script and walk you through what it's doing, if you want19:09
grifo74ok give me the script19:09
babblehere's the core script:19:10
babblehttp://paste.ubuntu.com/928384/19:10
babblethat reads from an exclusions file, which I'll also post.19:10
babbleExclusions:19:11
babblehttp://paste.ubuntu.com/928387/19:11
babblethe exclusions file tells rsync not to try and copy from any of my usual network mounts19:11
babblethe core command is this line:19:12
babblersync -av --delete --progress --exclude-from /home/wardc/Documents/scripts/rsync-exclusions.txt /home/wardc /home/wardc/Locations/rsync-backup/wardc-backup19:12
babblethat backs up the contents of /home/wardc to a folder on a mounted drive19:13
babblewill that work for what you need?19:13
grifo74very interesting i go try19:14
babbleyou'll need to modify it for your home folder, of course, and your backup location.19:14
babblewe'll go over the rsync options, if you like.19:14
babble(or if you're backing up something other than /home, modify it for your source and your target folders, of course)19:15
grifo74thanks it's all i need19:16
babble:)19:16
lJ6ilHello there, I'm trying to activate line-in input in Xubuntu19:24
lJ6ilBut i can't... Alsamixer doesn't know a line-in input and amixer either19:24
babblethat should be doable in JACK19:28
babblegive me a minute to dig around a bit19:28
babblewhat's your audio recording app?19:33
lJ6ili tried a few19:35
lJ6ilaudacity, audio-recorder...19:35
babbleAudacity is JACK aware (and probably several others)19:35
babbleyou should be able to set up line-in routing from your card's line-in input in JACK19:36
babbleQJackCtl is a GUI frontend for JACK19:36
lJ6ilok so i install qjackctl ?19:40
babbleand related JACK dependencies, yes.19:40
lJ6ilok thanks for your help babble :)19:40
babblenp :)19:40
lJ6ilapt-get is asking me if i want to activate real time process blablabla (don't know how to translate it in english :D)19:41
lJ6ilreal time process management, maybe ?19:42
babbleyou likely don't need to worry about realtime process management, and you'll need a realtime enabled kernel if you end up wanting it19:43
babblewhat's your computer?19:43
lJ6ilok19:44
lJ6ila small laptop19:44
lJ6ileeepc19:44
babblewhat processor speed?19:44
lJ6iloh... mmm i know it's a core 2 duo and i use xubuntu 64 bits19:44
lJ6ilbut the processor speed... :D19:44
babblean intel core should be fine.19:44
babbledon't worry about realtime bits19:44
lJ6ilok :)19:45
lJ6ilit's installed :)19:45
babbleif you get strange dropouts in your resulting recording, come back and we'll get you an rt kernel (but these aren't under active development anymore, as far as I know, so there's that)19:45
babbleopen QJackCtl and look in Setup and in Input and you should be able to set your Line In jack as the input device19:46
babblethen start the Jack server (the green start button in QJackCtl19:46
babblethen, in Audacity, set JACK as your audio input and you're good to go19:46
lJ6ilok thanks19:47
lJ6ilbabble, as input, jack suggests me "by default", "hw:0", "plughw:0", "/dev/audio", and "/dev/dsp"19:49
lJ6ilwhat should i choose ?19:49
babblelook in the popout menu next to that19:49
babbleif it can figure out your card's line in jack, it should be in there.19:49
babblethe device names will be cryptic, but whatever it can identify for those devices will be in the pullout menu next to that19:50
babbleare you certain that your eeepc *has* a line-in jack, and not a std. line-level mic input?19:51
lJ6il"hw:0 HDA Intel", and "hw:0,0 ALC269VB Analog"19:51
babbleanalog input should be the microphone port19:51
lJ6ilactually, i don't know, maybe i'm on the wrong path19:51
lJ6ilI'm trying to record an external source19:51
babbleif you wanted a line-in jack specifically, you need a hardware port that's actually a line-in (i.e. not dependent on a volume level from the source)19:52
babbleline-in means something different from a microphone port, typically19:52
lJ6ili have an olympus digital voice recorder, and i'd like to recorder it19:52
babblehow are you patching output from the recorder into your eeepc?19:52
lJ6ili already have an internal mic, but i connected my external source in the external microphone input of my computer19:53
lJ6ilmale-male cable19:53
babblein the input section in JACK, that should be the analog port it's identifying as hw:0,019:54
lJ6ildon't know exactly how it's called, but it the same we use as headphone19:54
babble(that mic input on the eeepc)19:54
lJ6ilok19:54
babblethat's not really the same thing as a line-in jack, which means something specific19:54
babbleline-in and line-level are what audio geeks use to describe input ports.19:55
babbleline-in doesn't care about the volume level of the source, as long as there's a signal.19:55
babbleline-level *does* care about the volume level of the source, i.e. a microphone port19:55
lJ6ilGreat ! It works ! :)19:56
babblethere you go19:56
babblebecause that's very likely a line-level port, check your recorded audio for peaking19:56
lJ6ilok :)19:57
babbleand reduce the volume on the olympus recorder if you're getting clipping19:57
lJ6ilok. I will try that.19:58
lJ6ilAnyway, thank's for your help19:58
babblewithout installing other stuff which I haven't sorted through yet, Jack will override Pulse when the Jack server is running19:58
lJ6ilsee you soon babble :)19:58
babblesee you soon :)19:58
noname120hi$20:05
noname120Iget issues connecting to wireless net w20:05
noname120network with my broadcom 43xx wifi card : I've xubuntu and I installed the driver, the network manager of xubuntu don't show the wireless connections20:06
noname120I tried to install wicd but this can't find any network neither20:06
noname120But with backtrack, a bunch of wireless network are found and I can connect on them20:07
noname120How can I fix my xubuntu ?20:07
noname120hope Sysi or oxic , maybe raevol or why not nikolam could answer20:09
raevolnoname120: this channel is pretty slow for support answers, since that is a driver/hardware issue, you may find better help in #ubuntu20:10
jolahi. after a BSOD I can't boot windows anymore. grub says "error: no such device: B248C33048C2F261. error: no such disk". the BSOD said: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL [...] NDIS.SYS [...], and when it occured I hadn't been starting any programs for quite a while, I was just writing an email in firefox when it suddenly happened. I'm dual booting windows xp and xubuntu. I'm on xubuntu now, the windows partition doesn't appear in Thunar (20:10
jolathe file manager) either. but "fdisk -l" shows the partition (also marked as bootable). I want to use xubuntu to check for what's causing the issue but I don't know what it could be or what to test for and how. some driver screwed with the partition20:10
noname120raevol : thanks I'll go on #ubuntu then20:10
Os_Maleushi noname120!20:29
Os_Maleusnoname120: did You try my proposal?20:29
Os_Maleusnoname120: You need to put some three drivers to the blacklist.20:30
Os_Maleusnoname120: like I told: the issue is about the wrong (or infinite) driver for the broadcom-adapter.20:30
noname120hi Os_Maleus : great that you're here !20:31
noname1201) I didn't understand what I had to do20:31
noname1202) The paste has expired20:31
Os_Maleusnoname120: that one is built in in several machines. Dell has built it in into some of their machines and Lenovo in some of their Ideapads as well. (lucky I am, I have one of those Ideapads.)20:32
Os_Maleusdid You save that for Yourself?20:32
Os_Maleusnoname120: generate that file with the name and trace given in the first line.20:33
Os_Maleusthat one should do it actually.20:33
noname120Os_Maleus : I didn't think you set an expire time so I haven't the backup20:34
noname120Basically, I need to replace the file ? But how do i that ? I've no access of the file20:34
Os_Maleusif it doesn't, You should restart once under Win, change the setting in the way that You switch on the WiFi, and the bluetooth off. then, the module should be recognized in the WiFi-on-setting and You should be able to use the WiFi - no matter which manager You are using.20:35
Os_Maleusthe Network manager has actually more features and more possibilities for putting settings.20:36
Os_Maleusnoname120: note: information is never for waste. ... and I didn't want to make everything available to the end of internet-time. ;-)20:37
noname120I can't boot on windows : my HDD has bad sectors and I'm booting on my external hardrive where I installed xubuntu for that purpose20:37
Os_MaleusYou don't need to replace the file. You just need to add additional lines into that.20:38
noname120ok20:38
Os_Maleusokay, wait a sec! I will generate such paste again.20:38
noname120thank20:39
noname120s20:39
Os_MaleusYou came actually pretty much in last second. just wanted to leave. :-)20:40
noname120ok20:40
noname120great20:40
noname120So I'm waiting and please stay a few seconds after for support :)20:41
noname120Os_Maleus : how long will this need to create the paste ?20:42
Os_Maleusnoname120: are You newbe under Linux?20:42
noname120kinda20:42
noname120I nver touched to system files20:43
noname120only few things like compiling ./configure etc20:43
noname120I'm a programmer but I was lastly on windows20:43
noname120(probably for that king of problems under linux)20:43
Os_Maleusfirst, You have to backup that file from /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf to where ever You want to. open terminal and write there something like 'mkdir Templates/Systemconfiguration-Files/ ; cp /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf Templates/Systemconfiguration-Files/ '20:45
Os_Maleusthis will generate You a folder in Templates under Your user directory.20:46
Os_MaleusYou can change the name of the file to something like etc-usb_modeswitch.conf-ori ... then You know that this had been Your initial and original file.20:47
Os_Maleuscopy it under a different name (like etc-usb_modeswitch.conf-mut01) to overwork it.20:48
noname120I got issues20:48
noname120noname@NicePC:~/Documents$ mkdir Templates/Systemconfiguration-Files/ ; cp /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf Templates/Systemconfiguration-Files/  mkdir: cannot create directory `Templates/Systemconfiguration-Files/': No such file or directory cp: cannot create regular file `Templates/Systemconfiguration-Files/': No such file or directory noname@NicePC:~/Documents$20:48
Os_Maleusand then You can copy that back to the system folder with 'sudo cp [source] [destiny]'20:50
noname120I think that I'll install backtrack-linux on my computer instead: that will be much easier20:51
Os_Maleus'noname@NicePC:~/Documents$' tells me that You are located in Your directory, named Documents. You need to change into /home/noname by 'cd /home/noname' or 'cd ..'20:51
Os_Maleuswith blackubuntu, my machine is generating only a black display, even running under the trial-system. ;-)20:52
noname120blackubuntu ? what's that ?20:52
Os_Maleushttp://pastebin.com/iNgfCcyf20:53
Os_Maleusblackubuntu or blacktrack ... similar. both behave the same on my machine.20:53
noname120it's backtrack , not blacktrack20:54
Os_Maleusand until You don't know what You are doing, it doesn't matter which system You are using. ... ubuntu/xubuntu is more save in this sense.20:54
Os_Maleus;-)20:54
noname120of course20:55
Os_Maleushttp://pastebin.com/iNgfCcyf20:55
noname120but backtrack roks without any modifications20:55
Os_Maleussave this paste as an additional file to be able to compare it with Your original!20:55
Os_Maleus... for later as well.20:55
Os_Maleusnoname120: to see if any relevant drivers are loaded, tipe: lsmod | grep 'b43 \| bcma \| wl'20:58
noname120I give up20:59
Os_MaleusIf any of these are installed, remove them (as root)! ... 'sudo rmmod b43', or 'sudo rmmod bcma' or 'sudo rmmod wl'21:00
noname120I'll reinstall my OS as backtrack : this will be easier this way21:00
noname120But I keep this file in safe if I need this later thanks21:00
Os_Maleussure! with that You are mistiping something and can reinstall the whole thing again. ... wish You fun!21:01
Os_Maleus*mistyping21:01
noname120That's the most convenient way21:02
noname120I don't wanna spend hours to make it work21:02
Os_Maleusbut I admit: I needed 5 months to figure out what the thing was about. ... with the help of SEVERAL friends from the IT.21:02
noname120Backtrack will make it work in one second21:02
Os_Maleusif it does, then it is an option, of course.21:02
noname120I just find that Broadcom sucks: their driver should work correctly without modifications etc21:03
Os_Maleusbut with that Your OS is more exposed. Your system more worn-able.21:03
noname120I would have done it if it were easy but unfortunaly is it a pin21:03
Os_Maleusshould I tell You something?21:03
noname120"Your OS is more exposed. Your system more worn-able." <-- ??21:03
Os_MaleusBacktrack is based on Debian. ;-)21:03
noname120I know21:04
Os_Maleusxubuntu is as well.21:04
Os_Maleus;-)21:04
noname120But it bundled with many drivers21:04
noname120i chose xubuntu 'cause it was supposed to run faster than ubuntu etc21:04
noname120But it seems that KDE is fine too21:04
Os_Maleusunder backtrack, You have a root-profile existent. under xubuntu not.21:04
noname120what does it change ?21:05
noname120I've an idea: I install teamviewer and if you're nice then you control my computer to configure it yourself since I'm too new to linux's world21:05
noname120Do you accept ?21:06
Os_Maleusif somebody wants to hack Your pc (and You as a programmer should know about!?) then he just needs to hack Your root-password. under xubuntu, there is no root. thus, nothing to hack. ;)21:06
Os_MaleusI can perhaps help You then better.21:06
Os_Maleusbut to configure it, You should work on that Yourself. ;-)21:07
Os_Maleusbut let's try it.21:07
martinphonewhy cant I edit a file in etc/privoxy?21:53
martinphonewill it work if I use nautilus?21:53
Os_Maleusmartinphone: try it as sudo!21:56
xubuntu829hi21:56
martinphoneOs_Maleus, how? I need to open an edito to edit the file21:56
Os_Maleusterminal ... sudo gedit [file-path]21:57
babbleOs_Maleus: you likely want to use gksudo to start a root gedit session.21:57
Os_Maleusyou can always open files. just saving them won't work out, if You don't use it as sudo.21:58
Os_Maleusbabble: for me it worked out with simple sudo.21:58
babblegksudo for gui apps.21:58
babbleOs_Maleus: It will work most of the time.21:58
=== bazhang_ is now known as bazhang
babblethe problem is when it causes something unpredictable, because sudo doesn't know or care about your desktop environment21:58
Os_Maleusokay. ... I konow that You, babble, have more experience. :-)21:58
babblegksu and gksudo do21:59
Os_Maleusokay. I see. thanks for explanation and the correction!21:59
nonamehi again21:59
=== noname is now known as Guest55346
Guest55346damn "You failed to identify in time for the nickname noname22:00
Guest55346* You are now known as Guest55346"22:00
babbleGuest55346: if you're noname, you can still log into nickserv and identify22:01
martinphonesudo gedit /etc/privoxy/config does not work, have i written that correctly?22:01
martinphonecommand not found22:01
knomemartinphone, gksudo mousepad /etc/privoxy/config22:02
martinphoneknome, the command didnt open an editor...22:03
knomemartinphone, it should open a password prompt, because editing that file needs root access22:04
martinphoneknome, not here22:05
knomewhat "not here" ?22:05
martinphonethat it does nothing... no password prompt, no nothing22:05
martinphonedo I need any package?22:05
knomeshouldn't. are you running 12.04?22:06
martinphoneyes, beta222:06
knomeok, in that case, replace mousepad with leafpad22:06
