| gry | hi! why does xubuntu have a kvirc 4.1.1 in repos if latest stable is 4.0.4? | 00:35 |
|---|---|---|
| GridCube | dunno, its just there | 00:36 |
| GridCube | gry, i think that kvirc is qt based? | 00:37 |
| GridCube | like a kde thing? | 00:37 |
| gry | yes | 00:37 |
| GridCube | then its probably some kubuntu decission | 00:37 |
| GridCube | we share the same repos | 00:37 |
| gry | will ask them; thank you | 00:41 |
| aguitel | GridCube, what the correct way to install libreoffice in xubuntu? | 00:43 |
| GridCube | sudo apt-get install libreoffice | 00:43 |
| GridCube | that did it for me | 00:43 |
| aguitel | only this? | 00:43 |
| aguitel | ok | 00:44 |
| GridCube | you can search it on USC, or Synaptic if you want | 00:44 |
| aguitel | ok | 00:44 |
| GridCube | aguitel, you can update before like | 00:44 |
| GridCube | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libreoffice | 00:44 |
| aguitel | yes i know | 00:44 |
| aguitel | i did the update | 00:44 |
| GridCube | :) | 00:45 |

| baizon | whitman: check messages | 07:28 |
| baizon | whitman: are you using the proprietary drivers | 07:29 |
| baizon | ? | 07:29 |
| whitman | I am | 07:29 |

| baizon | have you uninstalld the drivers? | 07:53 |
| whitman | Hmm, I've just rebooted (a few times) without changing anything and it's fine now. | 07:55 |
| baizon | whitman: so did you made apt-get upgrade? | 07:58 |
| baizon | that could fix the problem too :P | 07:58 |
| whitman | It could, but I only saw libreoffice updates :) | 07:58 |

| xubuntu763 | Hi Xubunters! :-) | 08:49 |
| aquix | hello :) | 08:49 |
| xubuntu763 | What are your impressions on the new Xubuntu 12.04 | 08:50 |
| xubuntu763 | ? | 08:50 |
| aquix | I like it a lot. Runs pretty stable and no real bugs I have detected. | 08:51 |
| gordonjcp | crap, so far | 08:53 |
| * baizon xubuntu 12.04 + xfce 4.10 | 08:53 | |
| gordonjcp | "papercutty" | 08:53 |
| baizon | loving it :) | 08:53 |
| gordonjcp | slow, crashy, tiny fonts, no working media player | 08:53 |
| baizon | gordonjcp: so your doing something wrong | 08:54 |
| gordonjcp | baizon: it's a stock install | 08:54 |
| aquix | gordonjcp there are a million media players in the repos | 08:54 |
| gordonjcp | aquix: yes, but the one shipped in xubuntu doesn't work | 08:54 |
| aquix | system fonts can be changed, I recommend droid sans, looks good. | 08:55 |
| gordonjcp | *I* know there are dozens of media players, less experienced users may not | 08:55 |
| aquix | slow and crashy I don't see. | 08:55 |
| baizon | gordonjcp: im using smplayer for videos and clementine for music | 08:55 |
| gordonjcp | it's using droid sans by default, the fonts are tiny and hard to read | 08:55 |
| gordonjcp | firefox is hellish | 08:55 |
| aquix | installing and removing programs is the first thing one learns, new users are not the problem | 08:55 |
| aquix | firefox can be tricky on all machines no matter what OS | 08:56 |
| gordonjcp | aquix: right, but my point is more that out of the box it can't really play audio files | 08:56 |
| baizon | indeed | 08:56 |
| gordonjcp | it's been chuntering away for a couple of hours now scanning my mp3s and oggs | 08:56 |
| gordonjcp | maybe 1000 albums or so | 08:57 |
| aquix | I have a long apt-get install I run on new installs, never use stock install really. | 08:57 |
| aquix | wht music player gordonjcp ? | 08:57 |
| gordonjcp | gmusicbrowser, which is what comes packaged with xubuntu | 08:57 |
| aquix | yeah, I don't like that. | 08:58 |
| aquix | I use clementine. It's buggy and Qt but I still like it :) | 08:58 |
| gordonjcp | also there's a strange bug that I trigger often but can't replicate where when I click on a window, it sees this is as a grab move | 08:58 |
| arpad2 | hi | 08:58 |
| gordonjcp | so I end up dragging the window around | 08:58 |
| aquix | rhythmbox is also alright I guess | 08:59 |
| arpad2 | I have bought a card reader, but I can't see that xubuntu reconises it | 08:59 |
| baizon | arpad2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonAccessCard | 09:00 |
| gordonjcp | rhythmbox is crap | 09:00 |
| baizon | indeed | 09:01 |
| baizon | i love clementine :) | 09:01 |
| aquix | +1 | 09:01 |
| gordonjcp | I thought that when it was going to be included in 12.04, Canonical would get some people to fix it up a bit | 09:01 |
| gordonjcp | but no | 09:01 |
| gordonjcp | they've packaged up its reanimated corpse and stuck it in the default install | 09:01 |
| gordonjcp | here's a cracking bug in rhythmbox | 09:02 |
| gordonjcp | you'll laugh when you hear this, it's hilarious | 09:02 |
| aquix | software included discussions is a minefield. | 09:02 |
| baizon | gordonjcp: xubuntu is a community version not canonical | 09:02 |
| gordonjcp | if it decides it can't play a file, like maybe it doesn't have a codec or something | 09:02 |
| gordonjcp | guess what it does | 09:02 |
| gordonjcp | deletes the file | 09:02 |
| baizon | and canonical is making unity not all software that comes with ubuntu | 09:02 |
| aquix | gordonjcp really? | 09:02 |
| gordonjcp | baizon: yes, but they have maintainers for their packages | 09:02 |
| gordonjcp | aquix: yup | 09:02 |
| aquix | sounds bad | 09:02 |
| gordonjcp | so spark up rhythmbox on a stock Ubuntu install without mp3 codecs, watch it blow away your library | 09:03 |
| aquix | lol, you'd think they fix that bug first | 09:03 |
| aquix | or, they probably have had some rants in their irc channel, I would guess | 09:04 |
| aquix | gordonjcp your firefox, does it behave differently depending on the session? (between reboots) | 09:09 |

| gordonjcp | haven't tried | 09:20 |

| aquix | I have a laptop that I noticed on some boots firefox made the fan go crazy, and some it was silents as a sleeping kitten. but that went away | 09:22 |
| aquix | unity? no tanks | 09:22 |
| gordonjcp | oh, okay | 09:22 |
| gordonjcp | weird | 09:22 |
| gordonjcp | I quite like unity | 09:22 |
| aquix | good for you :) | 09:23 |

| xubuntu307 | hi all, which xfce version is used in xubuntu 12.04? | 12:34 |
| babble | 4.8 | 12:35 |
| babble | there's a 4.10 ppa or I have built packages for 64-bit | 12:36 |
| xubuntu307 | thanks alot! :-) | 12:36 |
| babble | the ppa from the xubuntu dev team is here: | 12:37 |

| babble | http://sourceforge.net/projects/babble777.u/files/xfce-4.10-daily/ | 12:38 |
| xubuntu307 | thank you very much - i was concerned that 4.10 (and its features) are not included in the current xubuntu release but with the ppa in mind i will give xubuntu a try. :-) | 12:43 |
| babble | it's not a huge change from 4.8 | 12:45 |
| babble | the xfce folks go for incremental improvements rather than sweeping changes. | 12:45 |
| babble | though things like a proper MIME editor in 4.10 are handy, I must say | 12:45 |
| babble | sigh. | 12:49 |
| babble | ambient aphex twin tracks and a McDonald's commercial really don't go together. | 12:49 |
| babble | eek. wrong window. | 12:49 |
| pornolab | hi, could u plz tell me how to set the key-combination to switch between keyboard layouts? I have two layouts but dunno where to go to se the key-combination (xubuntu 12.04) | 12:50 |
| babble | You can use the keyboard layout switcher plugin for one thing. | 12:51 |
| babble | Give me a moment and I'll dig through xfconf and see if there's a keyboard setting for it | 12:51 |
| babble | it looks like they keyboard shortcut xfconf key only exists in 4.10 | 12:52 |

| REK_007 | yeah babble | 14:32 |
| babble | try killing pulseaudio (alt-f2, then pulseaudio -k) | 14:33 |
| babble | then make sure your output device (headphones or speakers) is where you want it | 14:33 |
| REK_007 | how do i ensure that? | 14:33 |

| GridCube | lucky86, install arandr | 16:06 |
| GridCube | lucky86, arandr is a xrandr front end | 16:06 |
| lucky86 | I have a wide screen monitor and every thing gets streched | 16:06 |
| GridCube | if you trype xrandr | 16:06 |
| GridCube | in a terminal it tells you all the available resolutions | 16:06 |
| GridCube | if then you do xrandr -s numberxnumber | 16:06 |
| GridCube | then you set that resolution, arandr helps you there | 16:07 |
| penreturns | r u install it under vm> | 16:07 |
| lucky86 | in snaptic? | 16:07 |
| GridCube | oooo | 16:07 |

| X-Phips | yes, :d i but i want to edit, read, etc all the files in win + xubuntu | 16:12 |
| X-Phips | i have already command "sudo fdisk -l" in terminal | 16:13 |

| X-Phips | /dev/sda1 63 12579839 6289888+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA) | 16:13 |
| X-Phips | /dev/sda2 * 12579840 312560639 149990400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT | 16:13 |
| X-Phips | i think that the win is in FAT32 | 16:14 |
| X-Phips | is that right? | 16:14 |
| penreturns | ntfs | 16:14 |
| penreturns | sda2 | 16:14 |
| X-Phips | ok, sda1 is then xubuntu? | 16:14 |
| aquix | pastebin.com the output from sudo fdisk -l | 16:15 |
| aquix | sda2 have 3 partitions it looks like | 16:15 |
| lucky86 | do I understand that if i put in: xrandr -s 1360x768 it will invoke that resolution? | 16:15 |
| lucky86 | sorry to inturrupt | 16:16 |
| aquix | can't you find that resolution in settings -> display? | 16:16 |
| lucky86 | no | 16:16 |

| X-Phips | the psychocats :D | 16:20 |
| X-Phips | ^ | 16:20 |
| X-Phips | ^^ | 16:20 |
| GridCube | !fstab | X-Phips | 16:21 |
| ubottu | X-Phips: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 16:21 |
| X-Phips | so, next step will be creating a mount point 1ẞ1ẞ | 16:23 |
| X-Phips | *!?!? | 16:23 |
| GridCube | yes | 16:24 |
| aquix | mount point is just a folder where the drive will be mounted to | 16:24 |
| GridCube | >sudo mkdir /mount/point | 16:24 |
| aquix | sounds more special than it is | 16:24 |
| X-Phips | mhm ^^ | 16:24 |
| X-Phips | so, sudo mkdir /windows | 16:25 |
| X-Phips | says Psychocat | 16:25 |
| X-Phips | what i have to command now, sudo mkdir /mount/point or sudo mkdir /windows ? | 16:27 |
| GridCube | X-Phips, /mount/point is just an example | 16:30 |
| X-Phips | ok, so sudo mkdir /windows (as the part. for mounting) /point | 16:31 |
| GridCube | :) | 16:32 |
| GridCube | yes that would be your mointing point | 16:32 |
| X-Phips | Psychocat says sth about editing the /etc/fstab -file | 16:33 |
| X-Phips | Ii haven't got this file in /etc/fstab.d | 16:34 |
| aquix | it's /etc/fstab | 16:34 |
| X-Phips | ah the folder | 16:34 |
| aquix | file fstab in folder /etc | 16:35 |
| X-Phips | file fstab is in /etc yes, i have it | 16:35 |
| X-Phips | and what should i command for the mount point, where i have to pay attention? | 16:38 |
| GridCube | X-Phips, do this | 16:39 |
| GridCube | press alt-f2 and write: gksu leafpad /etc/fstab | 16:40 |
| GridCube | then add to the last like this: | 16:40 |
| GridCube | /dev/sda2 /windows auto auto 0 o | 16:40 |
| GridCube | /dev/sda2 /windows auto auto 0 0 | 16:40 |
| GridCube | that last one | 16:40 |
| GridCube | and then add a new empty line | 16:40 |
| GridCube | and then save and close and reboot | 16:40 |
| molgrum | my sound stopped working, i can't hear anything from videos anymore | 16:42 |
| X-Phips | so, i have to write "gksu leafpad /etc/fstab/dec/sda2 /windows auto auto 0 0" | 16:43 |
| GridCube | no | 16:44 |
| GridCube | no no no | 16:44 |
| GridCube | no | 16:44 |
| X-Phips | grrrrr | 16:44 |
| X-Phips | omg | 16:45 |
| GridCube | press alt-f2 | 16:45 |
| X-Phips | jep :) | 16:45 |
| GridCube | write: gksu leafpad /etc/fstab | 16:45 |
| baizon | molgrum: are you using the proprietary drivers? | 16:45 |
| GridCube | execute that X-Phips | 16:45 |
| molgrum | baizon, for wlan yes, for sound no, not that i know of at least | 16:45 |
| baizon | molgrum: graphics card? | 16:46 |
| GridCube | molgrum, check on jockey-gtk | 16:46 |
| X-Phips | ok mom | 16:46 |
| GridCube | :P ok X-Phips | 16:46 |
| GridCube | not at the very bottom of that text file | 16:46 |
| GridCube | write this: | 16:46 |
| GridCube | /dev/sda2 /windows auto auto 0 0 | 16:46 |
| X-Phips | moom :D | 16:46 |
| X-Phips | i'm command now this gksu ... thing ... | 16:47 |
| GridCube | :) | 16:47 |
| molgrum | baizon, GridCube, i'm only using prop for wlan, graphics card is the foss driver | 16:47 |
| GridCube | you might need the propietaries for those then, maybe, did sound worked before? | 16:47 |
| X-Phips | sry, one question: the files in win, pics, docs, can they disappear ? | 16:48 |
| molgrum | GridCube, yes it worked before | 16:48 |
| baizon | X-Phips: when your hard drive is broken :D | 16:48 |
| GridCube | try >sudo alsa force-reload | 16:48 |
| aquix | X-Phips no, worst thing that can happen is that the drive doesn't mount | 16:48 |
| X-Phips | hope not ;D | 16:48 |
| GridCube | X-Phips, no they shouldent | 16:49 |
| GridCube | X-Phips, did you add that line at the bottom of the text file? | 16:49 |
| X-Phips | ok, i have command now gksu leafpad /etc/fstab | 16:49 |
| molgrum | GridCube, didn't work | 16:49 |
| GridCube | molgrum, what does alsamixer says? | 16:50 |
| molgrum | ah, master is set to zero | 16:50 |
| GridCube | ;) | 16:50 |
| GridCube | theres your problem | 16:50 |
| X-Phips | so, "fstab" show me: | 16:51 |
| X-Phips | # /etc/fstab: static file system information. | 16:51 |

| X-Phips | CridCube: ok, and what now? | 16:52 |
| GridCube | at the bottom of that text file | 16:53 |
| GridCube | add that line: | 16:53 |

| GridCube | now open a terminal, and write: sudo mount /dev/sda2 | 16:56 |
| GridCube | and execute that | 16:56 |
| X-Phips | so, the slash before "dev" is directly under the slash before "host" | 16:56 |
| X-Phips | ok, saveing | 16:56 |
| X-Phips | closing | 16:56 |
| X-Phips | terminal | 16:57 |
| GridCube | yes, the / is VERY importan | 16:57 |
| GridCube | / means thats the root directory | 16:57 |
| X-Phips | commanding sudo mount /dec/sda2 | 16:57 |
| GridCube | dev | 16:57 |
| X-Phips | mh, godd inform. ^^ | 16:57 |
| GridCube | yes | 16:57 |
| X-Phips | dev ^^ | 16:57 |
| X-Phips | always wrong :D | 16:57 |
| GridCube | :) no problem, we all had to learn at one point | 16:58 |
| X-Phips | ok, press enter? | 16:58 |
| GridCube | yep | 16:58 |
| X-Phips | Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. | 16:58 |
| X-Phips | The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which | 16:58 |
| X-Phips | could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command. | 16:58 |
| X-Phips | ??? | 16:59 |
| GridCube | ok | 16:59 |
| GridCube | that means that your folder is mounted on /media/something | 16:59 |
| GridCube | or disk | 16:59 |
| GridCube | you have that disks icons on the desktop | 16:59 |
| GridCube | if you open them the disks mount to /media/something | 17:00 |
| aquix | probably automounted and shows up in thunar | 17:00 |
| GridCube | now they wont anymore, they will automatically to /windows | 17:00 |
| GridCube | next time you reboot | 17:00 |
| aquix | in terminal : mount | 17:00 |
| X-Phips | should i have a file in /media ? | 17:01 |
| GridCube | if you know where it is, nope | 17:01 |
| GridCube | its easier to keep it in media because, everything mounts there | 17:02 |
| GridCube | but not obligatory | 17:02 |
| GridCube | if you do wish to mount it on /media you have to: sudo mkdir /media/windows | 17:02 |
| X-Phips | i got to "file system" then to "media" and don't find there anything | 17:03 |
| GridCube | and then change fstab again and change the part that says /windows and put /media/windows there | 17:03 |
| X-Phips | hm, ok, so first, command sudo mkdir /media/windows | 17:03 |
| GridCube | X-Phips, on a terminal do this | 17:04 |
| GridCube | write: mount | 17:04 |
| GridCube | and paste the output to a pastebin | 17:04 |
| GridCube | !pastebin | X-Phips | 17:04 |

| X-Phips | second, open file "fstab" and change /windows to /media/windows | 17:04 |
| GridCube | yes, that should work, if you want to change the mountpoint for later | 17:04 |
| X-Phips | ok, open terminal ... | 17:05 |
| X-Phips | hm, after commanding sudo mkdir /media/windows, the terminal didn't say anything | 17:06 |
| X-Phips | but i have a folder in media | 17:06 |
| GridCube | yep | 17:06 |
| X-Phips | named "windows" :) | 17:06 |
| GridCube | thats what is should do | 17:06 |
| X-Phips | ok, then open fstab | 17:07 |
| X-Phips | and change /windows to /media/windows | 17:08 |
| X-Phips | ok, then save | 17:08 |
| X-Phips | close | 17:08 |
| X-Phips | and then ... | 17:08 |
| GridCube | yes | 17:08 |
| GridCube | nothing | 17:08 |
| GridCube | reboot | 17:09 |
| X-Phips | not command sudo mount /dev.... | 17:09 |
| GridCube | its already mounted | 17:09 |
| GridCube | it told you so | 17:09 |
| GridCube | if you write: mount | 17:09 |
| X-Phips | mh, ok | 17:09 |
| GridCube | you will see where stuff is mounted alredy | 17:09 |
| X-Phips | so, restart, choose xubuntu | 17:09 |
| GridCube | thats why im asking you to pastebin theoutput that comes from executing mount | 17:10 |
| GridCube | you will see where stuff is | 17:10 |
| X-Phips | hm, i have to command in terminal "mount" !?!? | 17:11 |
| X-Phips | for seeing where stuff is mounted ? | 17:12 |
| GridCube | yes | 17:12 |
| X-Phips | ok, mom | 17:12 |
| GridCube | or df | 17:12 |
| X-Phips | hmm, pastebin ... | 17:12 |
| GridCube | !pastebin | 17:13 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 17:13 |
| X-Phips | hm, poster? | 17:13 |
| X-Phips | a name ? | 17:13 |
| GridCube | X-Phips, write whatever you want | 17:14 |
| GridCube | this nick you are using now for example | 17:14 |
| X-Phips | to late :p | 17:15 |
| X-Phips | http://paste.ubuntu.com/983924/ | 17:15 |
| GridCube | oooo youre using wubi | 17:15 |
| X-Phips | yes, for install. | 17:16 |
| GridCube | then, as you see the windows partition is on /host | 17:16 |
| GridCube | i don't think thats a good idea to change that | 17:16 |
| GridCube | i have no idea how wubi works | 17:16 |
| GridCube | NO IDEA | 17:16 |
| X-Phips | f*** | 17:16 |
| GridCube | i would delete that line from /etc/fstab just to be sure | 17:16 |
| X-Phips | mhm ^ | 17:16 |
| GridCube | and you windows partition in on /host | 17:17 |
| GridCube | you might add a shortcut to that on your lateral panels of thunar | 17:17 |
| X-Phips | haha, there is that sh** :D | 17:19 |
| X-Phips | sry, can you say your sentence from 19:17:52 for an german again pls :) | 17:19 |
| GridCube | X-Phips, open thunar, go to / | 17:20 |
| GridCube | then drag the /host folder to the lateral panel | 17:20 |
| X-Phips | thunar | 17:20 |
| GridCube | file manager? | 17:20 |
| GridCube | file browser? | 17:21 |
| X-Phips | aah | 17:21 |
| X-Phips | :p | 17:21 |
| GridCube | its called thunar | 17:21 |
| X-Phips | ah, so "file system", "Dateisystem" in german | 17:21 |
| GridCube | yep, thats the root directory | 17:22 |
| GridCube | http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/capturadepantalla-120512-142226.php | 17:23 |
| X-Phips | /host to which panel, this named like the user? | 17:23 |
| X-Phips | Pic: yep, thats "Dateisystem" | 17:24 |
| GridCube | see that picture, all the blue folders name Documentos and such | 17:24 |
| GridCube | and temp and stuff, those are shortcuts | 17:24 |
| GridCube | i just drag a folder from the other side to there and i can easily access those with a single clic | 17:24 |
| X-Phips | ok, but i have to find the folder for pics etc in /host | 17:26 |
| GridCube | :P well yes | 17:27 |
| X-Phips | and drag this folder (s) to "Pictures" (Bilder), "Documents" (Dokumente) etc | 17:27 |
| GridCube | those follow the standard windows structure tho | 17:27 |
| GridCube | so :P i have no idea | 17:27 |
| X-Phips | hm, i can't find all the pics, some of them ... | 17:29 |
| X-Phips | only some of them ... | 17:29 |
| GridCube | again, don't know the microsoft files structure | 17:29 |
| GridCube | in XP it was clearer, but since them they hide a lot of folders on places i dont understand | 17:30 |
| X-Phips | ööhm, there is XP as first OS :p | 17:30 |
| GridCube | oh then your files should be like in /host/Documents and Settings/USRNAME/My Docs/My Pictures | 17:32 |
| GridCube | or something like that | 17:32 |
| X-Phips | haaaaaaaaa victory | 17:33 |
| X-Phips | i have them | 17:33 |
| X-Phips | doc and settings > HP-Besitzer (hp_owner) > my files (eigene Dateien) and there I have all of folders etc | 17:34 |
| X-Phips | so, drag pics into pictures | 17:34 |
| X-Phips | and he'll show there a link ? | 17:34 |
| aquix | your dutch? | 17:34 |
| X-Phips | german aquix | 17:35 |
| aquix | same same :p | 17:35 |
| X-Phips | does he link or does he move ? | 17:35 |
| X-Phips | link? | 17:35 |
| GridCube | if yuou move to the side panel it will show a + symbol | 17:36 |
| GridCube | or a chain symbol | 17:36 |
| X-Phips | i try it with an test-folder | 17:36 |
| GridCube | it changes from time to time, it has to be the lower part of the sidepanel | 17:36 |
| GridCube | the upper side will try to actually move the contents | 17:37 |
| X-Phips | ok | 17:37 |
| X-Phips | i find the "test" folder in /host and pictures where i dragged it | 17:38 |
| GridCube | X-Phips, wait | 17:39 |
| X-Phips | why | 17:40 |
| X-Phips | ehwhats up? | 17:40 |
| X-Phips | -eh | 17:40 |
| X-Phips | problem? | 17:42 |
| GridCube | :P | 17:42 |
| GridCube | no i did a small tutorial | 17:42 |
| X-Phips | so, dragging is ok? | 17:43 |
| GridCube | http://imagebin.org/212150 | 17:44 |
| GridCube | :D | 17:44 |
| GridCube | yes | 17:44 |
| X-Phips | and what is he doing when i add more pics to the hard drive (in Win XP) from for ex. digital camera ? | 17:46 |
| X-Phips | have i copy them too in Xubuntu to the panel? | 17:47 |
| aquix | no. when the drive is mounted you have the same exact acces both from windows and linux to the very same files | 17:47 |
| X-Phips | when i drag a folder called "spring 2010" from host > docs and settings > hp owner > my docs > my pictures to the side-panel in "Pictures", is that always actual bec. of mounting? | 17:49 |
| X-Phips | what i mean is, can i see a new folder which is (on Windows) located at "my Pictures" in xubuntu at USER > pictures without copying from /host ? | 17:51 |
| aquix | what host ? | 17:51 |
| X-Phips | äh, this host in tunar !?!? | 17:52 |
| X-Phips | file-system > host | 17:52 |
| aquix | when you mount the windows drive, it's just like any other drive. you can do all the things with it that you can with linux drives | 17:53 |
| aquix | and the sidebar in thunar is just shortcuts to different folders. you can add and remove them as you like. | 17:54 |
| X-Phips | and when i delete a folder in Win, is that folder deleted too in Xubuntu when I start Xubuntu after deleting ? | 17:54 |
| X-Phips | is Xubuntu bec. of the mounting always current with showing Files, Folders etc which are edited in Win ? | 17:55 |
| LMJ | Hi | 17:56 |
| aquix | yes. It's the same hard drive, but you access it from to different OS. | 17:56 |
| babble | X-Phips: if you have your windows partition mounted, you're working with the files *on* that partition. | 17:56 |
| babble | anything you delete from there is deleted from that partition. | 17:56 |
| babble | it's not showing you something abstracted (or at least no more or less abstracted than when you're using that partition or disk from within windows) | 17:57 |
| X-Phips | althought i have copy folders in "Pict.", "Docs" etc , so in subfolders of "USER" ? | 17:57 |
| LMJ | When I was using Ubuntu, I could simply encrypt a usb key, when I plugged it, it ask me for the password to uncrypt and access to it. Can I do the same thing as simple as it was with xubuntu ? What is the way to do it plz ? | 17:57 |
| aquix | it's like an external hdd. you can plug it into different machines and changes you make on one will follow the drive, not the machine | 17:58 |
| aquix | X-Phips you mean the shortcuts in the thunar sidebar? | 17:59 |
| X-Phips | yes the shortcuts ^ | 18:00 |
| babble | LMJ: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemsOnRemovableStorage | 18:00 |
| aquix | X-Phips thats just shortcuts to the different folders. they don't contain the data. only points to it | 18:00 |
| X-Phips | and the shortcuts show for ex. a new folder i have created in win, althought i haven't copy him from /host to the shortcut ? | 18:01 |
| aquix | hmmm, how to explain this. | 18:02 |
| X-Phips | ^^ yes thats the question i asked me all this time here :D | 18:02 |
| aquix | it can, but you have to make the shortcut. | 18:03 |
| X-Phips | and how to write in Engl ... | 18:03 |
| aquix | ah, I see | 18:03 |
| aquix | you drag the folder to the sidebar, but not really. it doesn't copy anything, just makes a shortcut. | 18:03 |
| X-Phips | aah, ok | 18:03 |
| aquix | so if you make a new folder in win. you have to drag it to the sidebar in thunar to make a shortcut | 18:04 |
| X-Phips | yes, i got that ^ | 18:04 |
| X-Phips | and is it ok when i take the folder in "USER" | 18:04 |
| aquix | so your cool? | 18:04 |
| X-Phips | cool (h) | 18:04 |
| X-Phips | ;) | 18:04 |
| LMJ | thanks babble | 18:05 |
| aquix | then forward and upwards :) | 18:05 |
| babble | X-Phips: shortcuts in the Thunar sidebar will be just shortcuts; it won't do dynamic redirection of a folder that XP/Vista/Win7 treats as a dynamic user folder location | 18:05 |
| babble | LMJ: :) | 18:06 |
| X-Phips | when i have a folder in the mainfolder "USER" which I can't find in the shortcuts, should i take them into the sidebar folder "USER" or down in the part of the shortcuts ? | 18:07 |
| X-Phips | babble: so all new folders created in win want to drag into shortcut-part | 18:07 |
| babble | That doesn't make sense to me: you want all new folders you create in <some location> on your windows partition to automatically appear as separate shortcuts in the Thunar sidebar? | 18:08 |
| X-Phips | or in the mainfolder "USER" | 18:08 |
| aquix | no, you make the shortcuts you need by dragging the folder to the sidebar. | 18:08 |
| aquix | whatever folder | 18:08 |
| babble | Here's what's happening: when you drag a folder into the Thunar sidebar, it's adding a path to a file called gtk-bookmarks | 18:09 |
| babble | if the location you're trying to make into a sidebar shortcut can't be gotten to from an absolute path, that shortcut in the sidebar won't work | 18:09 |
| aquix | bookmarks is a good anology. it's just bookmarks | 18:10 |
| babble | if the location you want to use *can* be accessed as an absolute path, it will work. | 18:10 |
| X-Phips | ok, and much subfolders in "my pictures", where i have to drag them? | 18:10 |
| babble | It's difficult to understand exactly what you want | 18:10 |
| aquix | yeah | 18:10 |
| X-Phips | sry :D | 18:10 |
| X-Phips | ok, again | 18:11 |
| aquix | no worries. we blame windows, not you :D | 18:11 |
| babble | certain things the Windows UI does (like Documents and Settings, or User folders) aren't absolute locations | 18:11 |
| aquix | brb, smokez | 18:11 |
| babble | (i.e. they're merged filesystems that represent two or more absolute locations that are merged together to look like a single folder) | 18:12 |
| X-Phips | Subfolders in "my pictures" : copy into thunar folder "USER" or into thunar shortcut "Pictures" or into empty area near by shortcuts ? | 18:12 |
| babble | if you want to shortcut one of those merged filesystems, that likely won't work. | 18:12 |
| babble | if you want to shortcut a specific folder inside your specific user folder, that will work | 18:13 |
| X-Phips | for example: | 18:13 |
| X-Phips | i had create a new folder in /host called "test". Dragged him into empty area near by shortcut (for create a new shortcut called "test"). But: don't see him in userfolder "USER" | 18:14 |
| babble | sidebar shortcuts aren't making aliases inside a folder on your windows partition. | 18:15 |
| babble | they're not aliases or symlinks in the win filesystem | 18:15 |
| X-Phips | aim: see the shortcut-folder "test" in the user-main-folder "USER" | 18:16 |
| babble | they're paths, in a file in your home folder when you're booted into Linux, as I said. | 18:16 |
| babble | so if you're looking for Windows style shortcuts for something you've added to the Thunar sidebar, those don't exist | 18:16 |
| babble | You're not listening. | 18:16 |
| babble | There isn't a *folder* of shortcuts on the Windows filesystem containing your Thunar sidebar shortcuts | 18:17 |
| babble | it's reading a *file* in your home directory that contains a set of *paths* | 18:17 |
| X-Phips | ok, i thing i got that | 18:18 |
| X-Phips | but: | 18:18 |
| babble | Do you understand how browser shortcuts work? | 18:18 |
| babble | It's similar to that. | 18:18 |
| babble | there's not a collection of folders stored someplace. | 18:18 |
| X-Phips | is it a mistake when I drag folders from /host directly to "USER" | 18:19 |
| X-Phips | instead of doing shortcut | 18:19 |
| babble | it's difficult to understand what you want, so it's hard to say if what you're doing is something you want or don't want | 18:19 |
| X-Phips | hmmm | 18:19 |
| X-Phips | i think i drag all the subfolders located in /host > Docs and ... > ... > ... > my pics in the shortcut "Pictures" | 18:21 |
| babble | What do you want to do? | 18:21 |
| X-Phips | see all the folders in the mainfolder "USER", when i open my personal folder "USER" | 18:22 |
| X-Phips | mmh | 18:22 |
| X-Phips | always this f*** explaining ... | 18:22 |
| X-Phips | sry | 18:22 |
| babble | Again, the Windows UI doesn't have absolute paths for some dynamic locations | 18:24 |
| babble | however, if you're browsing something mounted in Thunar, Thunar will bookmark it correctly. | 18:25 |
| X-Phips | ok | 18:25 |
| X-Phips | let it be :D | 18:25 |
| babble | if you're looking at a collection of folders inside your user folder in Thunar, go up one level and bookmark the containing folder. | 18:25 |
| babble | then, when you click that bookmark in the Thunar sidebar, it will do exactly the same thing as double clicking that containing folder to open it | 18:26 |
| babble | if you *can't* see what you want to get at in Thunar, but you want Thunar to do something that Windows Explorer does to show you whatever location you're trying to see, | 18:26 |
| babble | again, that's probably a dynamically loaded merged folder that only works correctly in the Windows UI | 18:27 |
| babble | for example, in XP when you're looking at Documents and Settings when logged in as your user, it's showing you the merged contents of *two* folders | 18:28 |
| babble | (Documents and Settings for your user, and Documents and Settings for all users)_ | 18:28 |
| babble | Thunar won't show you that sort of merged folder view in a thing you can bookmark in the sidebar. | 18:28 |
| babble | My Pictures and My Documents do similar things, if I'm not mistaken | 18:29 |
| astraljava | Is it possible he's looking into seeing links instead of bookmarks? He talks about seeing them _inside_ this USER folder (don't really know what that is referring to, anyhoo). | 18:30 |
| babble | astraljava: Yeah, that's why I tried explaining that what he's adding in Thunar isn't a folder containing a list of shortcuts or symlinks. | 18:30 |
| astraljava | babble: Yep. Can you create links (as in `ln -s`) in Thunar somehow? | 18:31 |
| babble | astraljava: sure, but dragged shortcuts in Thunar to the sidebar are paths in gtk-bookmarks | 18:31 |
| astraljava | I get that. But how do you create links, then? | 18:31 |
| babble | Ctrl-Shift on drag in Thunar | 18:32 |
| * astraljava is not on a linux box ATM so can't check. | 18:32 | |
| astraljava | Right. | 18:32 |
| babble | but from what I can gather of his explanation, he's not seeing everything he's used to inside what I suspect is a merged folder in the Windows UI | 18:33 |
| babble | he keeps referring to his pictures folder inside his user folder. | 18:33 |
| astraljava | Right. Well, just a thought. You're doing a good job, please carry on. :) | 18:33 |
| X-Phips | i see, i can't edit files because the "owner" is root | 18:38 |
| X-Phips | what to do / is that normal ? | 18:39 |
| babble | are you attempting to bookmark a location on a windows partition that's mounted inside linux? | 18:40 |
| X-Phips | editing files in shortcut-folders | 18:40 |
| babble | that doesn't make sense to me. | 18:41 |
| X-Phips | i cant delete files in shortcut-folders | 18:41 |
| babble | where is the folder shortcut-folders located? can you give me an absolute path to whatever you're looking at? | 18:41 |
| X-Phips | the shortcuts are from /host > docs and settings > hp owner > my files > my docs | 18:43 |
| babble | I need an absolute path so I can understand better whatever it is you're trying to do | 18:43 |
| babble | do you have a windows partition mounted inside linux? | 18:43 |
| X-Phips | what do you mean with absolute path? | 18:43 |
| babble | We'll go through this a step at a time. | 18:43 |
| babble | 1. Do you have a Windows partition mounted in Linux? | 18:44 |
| X-Phips | i have this linux installed with wubi | 18:44 |
| GridCube | X-Phips, /host/docs&setting/ is owned by windows | 18:44 |
| X-Phips | yes ^^ | 18:44 |
| GridCube | X-Phips, the link is just a link | 18:44 |
| GridCube | to a folder | 18:44 |
| X-Phips | yes ^^ | 18:44 |
| GridCube | thats owned by linux | 18:44 |
| babble | again, if you can *see* what you want in Thunar, drag it to the sidebar | 18:45 |
| GridCube | the link | 18:45 |
| GridCube | you dont have to move stuff to the /home/user/Images | 18:45 |
| GridCube | for example | 18:45 |
| babble | if you *cannot* see what you want in Thunar, but you want Thunar to do something Windows Explorer does for you in WIndows, it's difficult to understand you, but that likely won't work | 18:45 |
| GridCube | you just will move them out of windows folders | 18:45 |
| X-Phips | and where i have to bookmark the pics, docs etc when i want to edit them? | 18:45 |
| GridCube | you can have a link to them if you DRAG AND DROP a link to the windows folder on the side bar | 18:46 |
| babble | Can you navigate to the folder you want in Thunar? | 18:46 |
| GridCube | no need to move the files | 18:46 |
| GridCube | just go to that folder | 18:46 |
| X-Phips | or better: what should i command for taking the rights to delete, edit etc | 18:46 |
| GridCube | and use it | 18:46 |
| GridCube | X-Phips, you should be able to do that already | 18:46 |
| GridCube | X-Phips, really, you should use a normal installer and not use wubi | 18:46 |
| X-Phips | tja ... | 18:47 |
| babble | wubi installs are becoming the bane of my life. | 18:47 |
| GridCube | yes | 18:47 |
| GridCube | second | 18:47 |
| GridCube | i don't understand how wubi works | 18:47 |
| X-Phips | should should should ... | 18:48 |
| X-Phips | ;) | 18:48 |
| babble | GridCube: it's sort of like using Qemu running from an ISO | 18:48 |
| GridCube | hehe :D | 18:48 |
| babble | GridCube: Except that it's not running from an image; it's got its own root | 18:48 |
| xubuntu329 | Hey, can someone tell me why xubuntu seems to freeze when booted as a livecd? it works just fine in virtualbox. | 18:48 |
| xubuntu329 | *please | 18:48 |
| GridCube | i don't know... maybe hardware issues? | 18:49 |
| babble | xubuntu307: you'll need to narrow things down some more, most likely. Virtualbox is emulating very basic hardware. | 18:49 |
| babble | xubuntu307: have you tried booting from the live system with nomodeset? | 18:49 |
| xubuntu329 | What's that? | 18:50 |
| xubuntu329 | A terminal command of some sort? | 18:50 |
| babble | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 | 18:50 |
| Infy__ | It's a line you add to your kernel when it's booting up | 18:50 |
| xubuntu329 | Ok | 18:50 |
| babble | Nomodeset will load software only video drivers and use only very basic graphics modes | 18:50 |
| xubuntu329 | Thanks | 18:51 |
| X-Phips | what is the command for opening a folder? | 18:51 |
| babble | do you want to open a folder in Thunar from the commandline? | 18:51 |
| X-Phips | i want to add a new thing to a louncher | 18:52 |
| X-Phips | in the bar at the bottom | 18:52 |
| GridCube | X-Phips, thunar /path/to/directory | 18:52 |
| babble | if you're specifying an executable file in a launcher, do /path/to/executable | 18:52 |
| babble | if you want thunar to open a location, do a URL launcher and set /path/to/someplace as the URL | 18:52 |
| X-Phips | hmm | 18:53 |
| X-Phips | open a shortcut with klicking to a louncher on bar at bottom | 18:54 |
| babble | what, exactly, do you want this Launcher to do? | 18:54 |
| X-Phips | open the shortcut "Pictures" | 18:54 |
| babble | where is "Pictures" located? | 18:54 |
| X-Phips | it's from /host | 18:55 |
| babble | I understand that | 18:55 |
| babble | I need the complete path to the folder you want the shortcut to open | 18:55 |
| rolesp | hello all | 18:55 |
| babble | open your terminal | 18:55 |
| X-Phips | opened | 18:55 |
| babble | do: | 18:55 |
| babble | cd /host | 18:55 |
| X-Phips | /host$ | 18:57 |
| GridCube | babble, actually is easier | 18:57 |
| babble | cd 'Documents and Settings' | 18:57 |
| GridCube | X-Phips, please do as i say | 18:57 |
| X-Phips | ok pls | 18:57 |
| babble | (or nav to it in Thunar, right click and do Open Terminal Here, maybe) | 18:58 |
| GridCube | now X-Phips go and add a new launcher to the panel, right click add-element > launcher | 18:58 |
| X-Phips | jop | 18:58 |
| GridCube | then create a new launcher | 18:58 |
| GridCube | not the big +, the one under it | 18:59 |
| GridCube | as command use Thunar | 18:59 |
| GridCube | and as working directory navigate to the folder you want it to open | 18:59 |
| babble | yeah, I was getting to that | 18:59 |
| babble | I need to understand the complete path as he's running in Wubi | 18:59 |
| Aetcho | Hi, this is the xubuntu help channel right? | 19:00 |
| GridCube | babble, he just needs to navigate, you dont need to write, theres a navigate button | 19:00 |
| GridCube | Aetcho, yep youre in the right place | 19:00 |
| babble | that should work, yeah | 19:00 |
| X-Phips | the folder i want to open with the launcher is named "Eigene Bilder" | 19:01 |
| Aetcho | Nice! Well, i sort of have a problem with xubuntu. Whenever i boot the livecd and arrive at the desktop. When i try to open a window, i can't close it down again/minimize it any of that stuff. | 19:02 |
| Aetcho | So, the windows freeze. | 19:02 |
| babble | you'll still need to specify a path for it in Thunar, X-Phips | 19:02 |
| Aetcho | Is there a way to fix this? | 19:02 |
| babble | Aetcho: have you tried a couple of CDs? | 19:02 |
| Aetcho | Im booting it from an usb | 19:02 |
| babble | do you still have the ISO image you downloaded? | 19:02 |
| Aetcho | Yes | 19:02 |
| Aetcho | It's on the computer | 19:03 |
| babble | which one is it? (I'll go get the md5 and we'll check) | 19:03 |
| Aetcho | I have re-extracted it to the usb serveral times | 19:03 |
| Aetcho | Well, it's the 64 bit desktop one | 19:03 |
| babble | let's see if it's a good image, first | 19:03 |
| babble | 12.04 amd64 desktop? | 19:03 |
| Aetcho | y | 19:03 |
| babble | one min. | 19:03 |
| Aetcho | ty | 19:03 |
| babble | where is your downloaded image? (i.e. on your desktop? In your Downloads folder?) | 19:04 |
| Aetcho | Yes, it's in my downloads folder. | 19:04 |
| babble | okay. are you in Linux or Windows at the moment? | 19:04 |
| Aetcho | Windows vista sp2 64-bit | 19:05 |
| babble | let me go get syntax for windows | 19:05 |
| Aetcho | ok | 19:05 |
| babble | okay, should be the same. | 19:05 |
| babble | open a commandline and cd into your downloads folder | 19:06 |
| babble | in there do: | 19:06 |
| babble | md5 xubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 19:06 |
| Aetcho | I ook | 19:06 |
| babble | that will give you a number | 19:06 |
| X-Phips | do a break | 19:07 |
| babble | it should match this: | 19:07 |
| babble | 724224b8d62c7bccecdee6b82850c0e6 | 19:07 |
| Aetcho | " MD5 is not an internal command, an external command, a program or a commandfile " | 19:07 |
| Aetcho | Do i have to type run or something | 19:08 |
| Aetcho | before 4b8d62c7bccecdee6b82850c0e6 | 19:08 |
| babble | no, don't do the number. | 19:08 |
| Aetcho | ok | 19:08 |
| babble | I want to see what number it gives you | 19:08 |
| babble | as I said, cd into your downloads folder and do: | 19:08 |
| babble | md5 xubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 19:08 |
| Aetcho | I did, but it won't accept md5 xubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 19:09 |
| Aetcho | as a command | 19:09 |
| babble | http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/ | 19:09 |
| genii-around | md5sum | 19:09 |
| babble | ah, there we go | 19:09 |
| Aetcho | It still won't.. accept it | 19:13 |
| babble | in the absence of any checksum utilities on your installation of Windows, have you tried redownloading a fresh image? | 19:13 |
| Aetcho | Yes, i did | 19:13 |
| Aetcho | ...Same problem | 19:13 |
| Aetcho | I have had the same problem with all distros of linux | 19:13 |
| babble | then it's likely some issue with your specific hardware. | 19:14 |
| Aetcho | My graphics card maybe? | 19:14 |
| Aetcho | Because vista runs fine | 19:14 |
| babble | it's possible. | 19:14 |
| Aetcho | I just got new drivers, but is there anything else i can do? | 19:14 |
| babble | try booting the live installer with nomodeset | 19:14 |
| Aetcho | How do i go about doing that? | 19:15 |
| babble | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 | 19:15 |
| Aetcho | Thanks. | 19:15 |
| rolesp | when I do: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre, get this: The package sun-java6-jre is not available, but some other package references to it. This may mean that the package is missing, outdated or just available from another source | 19:17 |
| rolesp | E: Package "sun-java6-jre 'has no installation candidate | 19:17 |
| rolesp | there is not jre's in software center, so is another way tu install java? | 19:18 |
| babble | try openjdk-7-jre | 19:18 |
| babble | or if it really won't run in 7, there's an OpenJDK 6 runtime as well: | 19:20 |
| babble | openjdk-6-jre | 19:20 |
| rolesp | ok, babble, that worked, thanks | 19:22 |
| babble | rolesp: np :) | 19:22 |
| babble | if it's for LibreOffice current, OpenJDK 7 should work just fine. | 19:23 |
| X-Phips | back | 19:23 |
| X-Phips | much thanks @ all for big help :) | 19:23 |
| babble | did you get your launcher to do what you want? | 19:23 |
| babble | oh, bother. Really Mageia? Really? | 19:24 |
| babble | Your grub setup will ONLY do the installation of Mageia on this partition? | 19:24 |
| babble | blarg | 19:24 |
| X-Phips | that's another part, no patience anymore :D | 19:24 |
| X-Phips | wish you good day bye | 19:24 |

| Belserusk | Hi all. Is it still better to upgrade Xubuntu via a pendrive/CD rather than via the update manager? Will this always be the case? | 19:55 |
| aquix | upgrades are getting better. but to be completely sure of a hazzel free experience a fresh install is better. And it's also a good way to finally get those backup's done. | 20:00 |
| aquix | and things like firefox gets a new faster profile that improves speed a bit | 20:01 |
| aquix | also, I have found new features going through all the different options and preferences on new installs. | 20:03 |
| Belserusk | Cheers aquix. | 20:06 |
| aquix | no problem, just my humble opinion :) | 20:30 |
| weekscorp | Hello... What is the best way to get all of the drivers I need for my computer now that I have installed xUbuntu? | 21:24 |
| gordonjcp | weekscorp: drivers? | 21:24 |
| gordonjcp | for what? | 21:24 |
| weekscorp | I have tested ubuntu in the past a little bit and had issues with getting my printer and sound card to work. | 21:25 |
| weekscorp | when i say sound card i mean what came built in to the computer. | 21:26 |
| weekscorp | It just told me installation complete. got to restart | 21:30 |
| martinphone | what photo organizer do you recommend? | 22:39 |
| martinphone | instead of glthumb, the default one | 22:39 |
| mongy | depends what you want. | 22:41 |
| mongy | f-spot, shotwell, digikam(kde) | 22:41 |
| GridCube | i like to use folders | 22:41 |
| GridCube | and copy paste | 22:41 |
| aquix | One thing that doesn't work. Set as desktop background in gtumb. how do you guys work around that? | 23:01 |
| aquix | *gthumb | 23:01 |
| mongy | do it from right click desktop | 23:06 |
| mongy | I rarely change my desktop though | 23:06 |
| GridCube | right clic on an image on thunar, set as wallpaper | 23:06 |
| GridCube | open in ristretto, use as wallpaper | 23:06 |
| mongy | GridCube, never even noticed those.. lol | 23:07 |
| aquix | GridCube I open in ristretto too. The best feature with gthumb (over the thunar way) is that it show the last downloaded pictures on the bottom. | 23:19 |
| aquix | GridCube thank you | 23:24 |
| aquix | I use thunar, search by date, ctrl+1 for thumbs, and set as background. much easier. | 23:25 |
| Cygnus-X1 | Okay, I upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04, and whenever an OSD comes up, a copy of the notifications winds up in a little mail type thing in the system tray | 23:30 |
| Cygnus-X1 | Funny thing, its only happened in my LTS to LTS upgrade. My fresh install and my 11.10 upgrade don't have that feature. | 23:31 |
| Cygnus-X1 | how do I turn it off? | 23:31 |
| aquix | Evixion think your router is depressed | 23:55 |
