[12:10] Hi all, I need some help with my dual monitor setup. Googling hasn't helped. In Gnome, my dual display works fine, the menu-bar and 'primary' screen is my big one to the right, and not the smaller one to the left. So far everything I have tried in XFCE hasn't moved the Menu bar etc from the left screen to the right. It thinks the left screen is the main screen. If I invert their position in nvidia-settings (tell it that the small screen is [12:10] to [12:10] the right of the big screen, when it's really on the left) then the menu-bar appears correctly placed on the big screen. Can I fix this? Or is the XFCE-menu bar always left-justified or something? [12:12] cellardoor, you in 12.04 [12:12] cellardoor, ? [12:12] cellardoor: in xfce settings editor (from menu) there are displays, try changin option 'primary' from there [12:12] it's boolean (true/false) for both displays [12:12] knome, yeah, upgraded the other day.

Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! [16:20] martinphone: you could look thunar's bulk rename-option, just select bunch of files, right click and choose 'rename' [16:20] laite, solution was found in for f in *; do mv "$f" "${f#*-* - }"; done [16:20] =) === usa_today[AFK] is now known as usa_today [17:02] Do I read http://xubuntu.org/news/12-04-release/ correctly? 12.04 32 bit is non-pae but 12.10 (and beyond) 32 bit will be pae? [17:03] "The i386 images use a non-PAE kernel. The non-PAE kernel will not be available in future Xubuntu releases." does imply that [17:04] i was under the impression the main ubuntu was shipping with PAE by default now [17:04] holstein: I was 90% sure that's what it said, but there was just something about the phrasing that made me wonder :) [17:04] Hi everyone!I installed xubuntu using the Wubi utility(I didn't change any settings;I have a XP with SP 2).I restart the PC and it boots directly in XP.Any ideas? [17:05] xubuntu198: if you see it listed in the windows boot loader, just select it [17:05] it = xubuntu/ubuntu [17:05] what libraries or packages do I need to play mpc files with rhythmbox? [17:05] parole plays em [17:05] It don't show any windows boot loader [17:06] wubi i think creates an icon to launch it [17:06] ? [17:06] xubuntu198: you have a windows bootloader.. i would try clicking the .exe again.. if you put the iso in the same directory, it will be used instead of going and downloading the iso [17:06] look in your windows desktop for the icon [17:07] I tired that a moment later it don't work [17:08] martinphone: i usually just install the *-restricted-extras metapackage.. i use VLC though [17:08] xubuntu198: what didnt work? and how did it not work? [17:08] tried [17:08] anyway tnx [17:08] xubuntu198: i would get the wubi .exe file, put it in a directory with the LIVE CD iso... click on it and report errors [17:08] holstein, for all ku, xu, lu and ubuntu? [17:09] martinphone: its the same codecs AFAIK.. [17:09] just install the one you need, xubuntu-restricted-extras would be correct for this channel [17:09] holstein, so with just one it should be enough... [17:09] martinphone: i would expect what plays in parole to play in rhythymbox [17:10] maybe its a plugin for rhythymbox you need.. i would ask in #ubuntu or somewhere more folks might be using RB [17:10] ok [17:15] Hi, any ideas how to upgrade xubuntu from oneiric to precise? The update manager does not recognize that there is a new distribution upgrade available. [17:23] markuss: update-manager -c -d [17:23] does that do it? [17:26] gordonjcp: strange. it works.

[18:21] ubuntu_: Did you verify the md5 of the cd image before you made the cd? [18:21] !md5 [18:21] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [18:24] genii-around, I didnt understand how to check [18:25] oohhh on that site is written [18:26] Yes.

[18:56] how to do that [18:56] download the alternate iso [18:56] the live CD runs well but I cant install on my PC [18:56] mongy, could you send me a link pleae [18:56] please [18:56] * [18:57] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/precise/release/ [18:58] did the md5 check come back ok?

[19:00] after all settings for install and start coping files [19:02] xubuntu777, I have seen a fix for those issues somewhere online, have you googled it? [19:02] then an massage appears The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try to install again [19:03] I read about them on the ubuntu wiki, but was just curious if a kernel upgrade might take care of it. [19:04] I know the installer has some bugs, as I found out while creating an encrypted home during install.. if you are comfortable with it, use the (no point n click dos like) alternate installer. [19:04] mongy, for lvm + dm_crypt you always have to use the alternate installer [19:05] or did you mean just encrypted homedir? [19:05] mongy, how to use alternative installer ? [19:06] Hi people! [19:06] crond, as I said, encrypted home only. I didnt want a fully encrypted drive, but it tried to make my swap encrypted and fubarred it giving me no swap, so I had to format the swap partition again and correct fstab for a normal swap entry. [19:07] milen8204, alternate iso. [19:07] mongy, ahh. ok! [19:07] milen8204, try it in vmware/virtualbox first so you can get familiar with it, it's not hard to use.

[19:09] i see it next to the other Iso :D [19:09] or go with the times and use amd64 [19:10] milen8204, or for more advanced disk operations.
