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. [03:22] es la instalación de la unidad de AMD HD 6310 legal en Xubuntu? [04:51] Apparently I must have scared something, since my /var/log is taking up about 8 GB of space on a 20GB hard drive. [04:51] How in the world should I resolve this? Googling gets me a lot of stuff about log rotation, which I'm not sure how to do. [04:52] ...the kernel log being about 3.7GB of that.

[07:18] xubuntu 12.04 [07:18] BTW, new at this IRC stuff [07:53] hi, I've installed vim but it seems like I cannot change the colorscheme in the xfce4-terminal. Is it a bug or a feature of the 12.04 release? [07:54] edit ~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc and remove all the color lines for default colors [07:55] do you mean all colorpalette entries? [07:55] not sure... might wanna make a backup [07:59] doesn't seem to help [07:59] You weren't trying to change the terminal color scheme? [08:01] I was definitely trying to change the scheme [08:02] hmm worked for me. You can change the terminal color scheme from preferences. [08:02] what works for you? [08:03] modifying the terminalrc and removing the predefined 12.04 colors [08:03] I'm talking about vim colors you know? [08:03] so not the terminal color scheme? vim's color scheme [08:04] vim's color scheme is not changable in the xfce4-terminal [08:05] no clue. never had to change vim's color scheme [08:05] it worked for me before [08:05] something has been changed in the terminal [08:06] here's somethin on a quick google - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1669675 [08:12] I've tried the xterm and it doesn't work there too. strange [09:46] how to install program on xubuntu [09:46] ????????????????

[09:48] with terminal ??? [09:48] xubuntu515: sudo apt-get install [09:48] xubuntu515: you can also use the "sudo apt-get install [program-name]" in the terminal [09:49] how to open root [09:49] or you can do that with aptitude as well. also in the terminal. [09:49] Root ??? [09:49] (x)ubuntu doesn't have a root profile. [09:49] sudo nautilus ??? [09:49] You are root. [09:49] ok [09:50] xubuntu515: root access is sudo -i [09:50] no explicit root profile! [09:50] that is what makes ubuntu more secure. [09:51] but if You are not familar with the things, I would use only the 'sudo' without the "-i" [09:51] or even better the 'gksudo'. [09:52] gksudo = sudo ?? [09:52] it is a sudo that protects Your graphical dependencies. === PreciseOne is now known as IdleOne [11:08] hi [11:10] hi. your death star runs xubuntu? [11:10] yes [11:10] seems about right [12:41] hi i have ploblem with automounting from devices. How can i put it off. I have put off in my userprofil and in Storage medias that my system dont automount devices. [12:41] Where should i do it else? [12:46] anyway to install xfce 4.10 in 12.04? [12:46] Hi, sorry to bother once again but I _really_ would like xubuntu if I only could get HDMI audio to work: problem is that audio+video works through HDMI if 1) TV is on during boot, or 2) I take HDMI cable off and plug it back in immediately [12:47] but if I boot with TV closed and then just turn it on, only video works - not audio [12:47] aguitel: Not officially, and not supported, but there is a PPA for it. [12:47] even aplay -D ... does nothing on HDMI channel [12:48] is there way to 'virtually re-plug' HDMI cable? [12:49] Unit193, this ppa? ppa:mrpouit/ppa [12:49] Yep [12:50] Unit193, is xfce 4.10pre [12:56] 105 [13:01] That's as close as you get, later on it'll be in xubuntu-dev/ [13:02] https://plus.google.com/112064450121097287690/posts/hcgQQ2hqJit [13:03] hi anyone here who is willing to help me out with tar.gz files? [13:04] ./configure doesnt work anyone got some help on that? [13:04] grimnik, are you trying to build something? [13:04] yes [13:05] Should have a readme. [13:05] in that case, start by installing the build-essential package [13:05] that helps a lot, and usually the config scripts throw verbose errors [13:07] Hi, I need urgent help. Anybody around? [13:07] !anyone [13:07] A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [13:07] knome ... installed build-essentials ./configure still isnt working :s [13:08] grimnik, then start reading what it outputs [13:08] I suspended my computer with Xubuntu 12.04. It didn't wake up. Not even after rebooting (by pressing the power button). [13:09] It doesn't get to Bios, so I can't even use a livecd. [13:09] bash: ./configure: Files or directory not found ... this is what i find wierd [13:10] It's an Acer Aspire T660-SB7H [13:11] So, is there any way to ensure I get to BIOS, to "reset" it, or something? I don't really know what to do now :( [13:11] xubuntu310: a hardware reset (holding the power-button for ~10sec) should _always_ work (unless it's a hardware problem) [13:12] xubuntu310, try pressing shift on boot for grub, or del for bios. Depends on the bios, they uses different keyboard shortcuts. [13:13] knome when i type ./configure it outputs : bash: ./configure: File or Directory does not exist [13:14] grimnik: then you're either in the wrong directory or the build works differently with your tarball [13:14] grimnik, as Unit193 says, please find a readme file and read it [13:14] ochosi aquix: My BIOS shows a screen, it's not arriving even there. It looks like it tries to read from disk, and get's stuck there. [13:15] xubuntu310: sometimes bios takes long after a hardware reset, can take more than a minute, how long have you waited? [13:15] the bios flash screen should say what keys to press to enter bios? [13:15] ochosi, knome im doin what the install readme tells me to do and im in the right directory, it seems my terminal doesnt see ./configure as a vallid command ... [13:15] ochosi: I think more, but I will wait more. Thanks [13:16] xubuntu310: np [13:16] grimnik: what exactly are you trying to build? [13:16] grimnik, in that case, contact the one who created the package [13:17] knome qjoypad-4.1.0.tar.gz [13:17] ochosi, you have extracted the tar.gz to a folder and work from there? [13:17] grimnik, sorry ochosi :) [13:18] aquix: np ;) [13:18] aquix yes that step worked fine the files is extracted into /tmp [13:18] grimnik, i'm reading the readme file, and it's not saying to run ./configure [13:19] grimnik, would you please try again reading the file? [13:19] grimnik, section 2.2 "installation" [13:19] knome k indeed it sai [13:19] grimnik: read the INSTALL.txt file, it has detailed build-instructions [13:19] ochosi: It looks like it is a harsware problem. I'm going to try to reset the BIOS by removing the battery. Thank you for the help. [13:20] xubuntu310: hm, that's odd. sorry to hear and good luck [13:20] knome k indeed it says to run ./config ... same deal doesnt do nuts [13:20] tmp? don't use that folder, extract it to a new folder in your download folder instead. Best to leave /tmp alone for the system. [13:21] grimnik: are you in the src subdir? [13:21] grimnik: it definitely doesn't do nothing, here it just complains about missing dependencies [13:21] xubuntu310, , if your really stuck see if you can find a button for a cmos reset. [13:22] ochosi k that helped me further ... still got some errors but i think i can manage from here thx all :) [13:23] grimnik: yw [13:28] aquix: I found the jumper and did it. It's dead. If suspending is not possible, they should remove the suspending button by default. [13:30] i don't think any OS can probe for broken hardware, if that is what you mean [13:31] I want to think it was not because of linux. But everything worked fine las months, until I tried to suspend. So it sure looks like it was because of that. [13:31] *last [13:31] xubuntu310, but you could get into bios now? [13:32] yeah, suspend/hibernate problems pop up from time to time. what you get for being a OS maverick :) [13:32] aquix: No. [13:33] I really like linux, and after the Unity hell Xubuntu looked so nice and worked so flawlesly. I'm using it on my netbook without complaints. [13:34] And I don't really care if I can not suspend. But don't leave the button there, if it doesn't usually work. [13:34] Well, thanks everybody. Leaving now. Bye [13:34] take care [13:39] woot got my gamepad working and i can map the keys to keyboard ^^ leaving now thx again to everyone i annoyed xD [13:49] hi i have ploblem with automounting from devices. How can i put it off. I have put off in my userprofil and in Storage medias that my system dont automount devices. [13:49] What should i do it else? [13:53] saitax, you want to mount a hard drive on startup? [13:54] no when i plug in a usb storage drive [13:54] it will automount [13:54] but i dont want that is automount [13:54] i want manual mount it [13:55] ah [13:55] hi [13:56] saitax, and you turned it of in 'Removable drives' in settings? [13:56] jep [13:57] and in my user profile [13:58] user profile? (new to xfce) [13:59] in systemsettings/users there you can set off automount medias [13:59] this i have done [14:01] saitax, sorry. I have no idea. It should work just turning of automount. You don't have any entries for it in /etc/fstab that mounts the drive? [14:01] no in fstab i have only my local drives [14:05] saitax: are you talking about usb-drives? [14:05] jep [14:06] saitax, looks like you can turn it of with dconf-editor http://askubuntu.com/questions/42575/how-to-disable-mounting-of-external-drive-at-boot [14:06] thats for ubuntu and gnome3 but I found the options in dconf here on xubuntu 12.04 [14:07] aquix ok thanks i will read it and try [14:07] np [14:09] saitax: tbh for me changing the setting in thunar's external volume settings always worked [14:10] in xubuntu 11.10 it works also for me. [14:10] aafter i ve done the update it doesnt work :-) [14:10] to 12.04 [14:11] how install themes in xfce ? [14:11] saitax: still works for me in 12.04 (clean install though) [14:11] i have done allthough a clean install [14:12] aguitel: download the tarball from the interwebs, then extract into ~/.themes and then change theme in the appearance-dialog [14:12] ochosi, there is no .themes folder in my system ,i create ? [14:12] yup [14:21] bisigi themes are working in xfce ? [14:22] bisigi is gtk2 themes, so don 't think so [14:22] nice pack tho [14:24] xfce is all gtk2 [14:25] but most gnome-applications have been ported to gtk3 === emma is now known as em [14:28] hmmmm, looks like bisigi will be ported to gnome 3. I was sure the project was discontinued last year. [14:29] i cannot add bisigi ppa in 12.04 [14:32] aguitel, ir you look in the drop down menu here, presice isn't supported https://launchpad.net/~bisigi/+archive/ppa [14:32] aquix, ok [14:34] aquix, read this:http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/03/how-to-install-bisigi-themes-under.html [14:35] Guys, sorry for my poor english :) Greetings to all there.

[14:58] Marzata, yes [15:52] hi i'm using terminator and midnight commander, when i press F10 it shows the "right click menu" how can i solve this problem? [15:56] Ariel_Calzada, check terminators settings [15:56] knome: how? [15:56] Ariel_Calzada, at least xfce4-terminal has a setting to disable those keystrokes [15:56] no idea, i don't know terminator [15:57] but i'd start from the menus [16:01] knome: that's the doubt there's no menu [16:01] :D [16:04] I installed xubuntu on my gf laptop, but there is 1 very wierd lag - when system is idle it just don't work - nothing works there. When I move mouse all proceses start to work normally [16:10] O_o [16:10] first time i ever heard of that [16:11] yea ;/ but anyway - when i try to launch something, for example firefox - if I click on icon and don't move mouse - nothing happens, at the moment when I press any key on keyboard or move ouse it launches emediatly [16:12] theluckymike, let me do some resarch [16:13] GridCube shoud I add some bugreport or smth? I dont have experience with that, but I couldnt find answer on forums ;/ [16:13] theluckymike, yes, yes you should [16:20] GridCube I think il try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1358228 just found it..

[16:23] theluckymike, the problem apparently is in the kernel level, correct? [16:24] yes, kernel [16:24] then do this, on a terminal write: ubuntubug kernel [16:25] and it will compile information about the kernel and your system and send it to launchpad [16:25] do you have an account on launchpad?

Resizing them requires surgical precision atm [19:01] Just switched to Xubuntu and I have script that needs to read a file from the /tmp folder. It fails, and I can't cat that file. Are there any special properties to the /tmp folder or files therein? [19:01] <_jay> *btw just installed it, seems very nice besides that :) [19:03] !faq | _jay [19:03] _jay: Lists of common questions and answers about Xubuntu can be found at http://xubuntu.org/news/tag/faq/. See also: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions [19:03] <_jay> ok thanks [19:03] _jay, http://xubuntu.org/news/faq-1204-precise/ Number 3 [19:05] At the tail end of the script is the following error: http://sprunge.us/IKcb. It's because nothing is being passed to dig for the reverse host lookup (option -x). [19:06] When catting the filename in the tmp folder no such file error is returned. [19:07] wouldnt know chamPAIN [19:08] No problem. Let me know if you've ever had any program run across tmp write issues. I'll try my hand around and see what else I can find. [19:15] chamPAIN, i dont understand your error log [19:15] it says ERROR: cannot reach vps6966 (70.39.148.164) [19:15] can you reach that from your system? [19:16] Yes, I'm able to get there. http://sprunge.us/GdJO [19:17] Part of the script fails if it can't create the connection and that error is part of the script that lets me know it's not working. [19:18] yes i see that, you should check the "powepanel" that says there in the error log [19:18] :P [19:19] Yeah, I see what you mean. There's a lot going on in this script. PowerPanel lets me know that the server is active and operational. I can get into it. Rather this is a tool I use to shorthand the login process. [19:19] :P [19:19] i dont know [19:21] Thanks for the effort. I can't expect you to know about this tool. I was wondering if there was any known issues with writing tmp files. I'm still cracking at it. [19:22] chamPAIN, i think that your error is more about a conectivity issue than a writing permission [19:23] I'd be tempted to agree with you. Save that this script works with SSH to log in to a server. If I make every step by hand: finding the credentials, the hostname, and logging in, I can get in ok. [19:23] What I see is that the initial hostname works ok, then it tries to pass that information to the login part of the script via a temporary file. [19:24] chamPAIN, i know this isnt the "best" solution, and might do more harm that good, but tried running your script with sudo? [19:24] Haha, yes! [19:25] Figured that would blow away any permissions issues, like you did. But it didn't work. [19:25] then again, i think its a conectivity issue, not a permission one [19:26] I can see how that makes sense. Until I can rule it out completely I'll keep it in mind. [19:30] Script relied on traceroute. [19:30] It wasn't installed. [19:30] LOL [19:30] Fixed. [19:30] :P [19:30] told you :3 [19:31] You were right! Thanks.

I know the user/pass is right because if I switch out to the CLI, I can login to the shell. When I login to the gui, though, the screen goes black for a second, then reloads to the login screen [23:48] :( yes i know that [23:49] the only way i know of fixing that is replacing lightdm with gdm [23:49] Did you change the lightdm.conf? [23:49] AxD09: Me? No, I haven't touched it. It's literally the first boot after install [23:50] ah, was just a thought. If the config has invalid lines in does the same to me. [23:50] GeminiDomino, as said, i've seen this before, as said, the only workaround i know, its to replace lightdm with gdm [23:50] GridCube: I believe you. I just have to figure out how to set up my wireless card without GUI access in order to get GDM [23:51] oh [23:51] shouldn't be hard if the card is recognized [23:51] GeminiDomino, from a tty launch sudo startx -- :2 [23:52] I'll try that [23:53] it should launch you a xterm session and you should be able to launch nm-connection-editor [23:53] AxD09: Dunno if it is or not. It's a broadcom, which has been historically a PITA [23:53] even more GeminiDomino if you had network while installing it should be working, hopefully [23:54] iwconfig should list recognized cards [23:55] GeminiDomino, you could, you know cable it for a while :P [23:55] yeah, it's working. So I should just have to "apt-get install gdm" and remove lightdm? [23:56] damn. Getting the GDM login now, but the same result [23:57] i would first: sudo service lightdm stop [23:57] then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get purge lightdm && sudo apt-get install gdm [23:59] nope, no dice... dammit all [23:59] doesn't sound like the problem is the login manager
