| ruien1 | I recommend VNC personally. | 01:57 |
| === ruien1 is now known as ruien | ||
| ruien | specifically the "tightvncserver" package should work, and then there's TightVNC which works on linux and maybe Mac OS, as well as RealVNC on windows. | 02:00 |
| ruien | The VNC protocol is decent compared to the X protocol, and it's more secure - but that's what I've heard. I've only actually used VNC, and not the others. | 02:00 |

| newb916 | I was wondering what the difference between the "desktop" and "alternate" downloads are, and which one I should get. | 03:43 |
| newb916 | and.... I'm figuring this out on my own through google. | 03:45 |

| kantoquad | hello I just installed 12.04 and unlike 11.10 with compiz , I have no window dressing compizz --replace does not work and window dressing is checked in the compiz manager, any idea | 04:13 |
| Sysi | kantoquad: install compiz-gnome (with --no-install-recommends) | 04:21 |
| kantoquad | will try that thanks | 04:23 |
| kantoquad | never heard of that but thanks Sysi | 04:24 |
| Sysi | then check that you have gtk-window-decorator set in compiz settings for providing window decorations | 04:24 |
| kantoquad | that is done | 04:24 |
| kantoquad | that did not work Sysi , obly chromw has minimize and maximize buttons | 04:31 |
| kantoquad | I did change the window decorator command based on a blog | 04:32 |
| kantoquad | earlier | 04:32 |

| lucky86 | hi all | 06:26 |
| lucky86 | I just upgraded to xfce 8.10 now the system wont boot | 06:27 |
| lucky86 | any advise on how to proceede would be appriciated | 06:27 |
| astraljava | lucky86: [4].10 isn't officially supported on any of the current stable releases. Try #ubuntu+1 for help. | 06:29 |
| lucky86 | I kinda knew i was stepping in it when i started thanks | 06:30 |
| xubuntu053 | Hi, I'm trying to install xubuntu on a spare Harddisk which is not formatted on a XP computer, Xubuntu install screen sees the sare harddisk and asks to partition a main and make a swap partition but could not finish | 07:49 |
| xubuntu053 | The spare HD has been controlled and in working condition | 07:50 |
| ruien | do you get any errors? | 07:58 |
| xubuntu053 | the bar mentioning the spare is orange not green, it says no operating system is foound | 07:58 |
| ruien | that seems odd; the partitioner should never care about that. Are you doing the advanced "partition it myself" option? | 07:59 |
| ruien | seems like all you need is one partition for / and another smaller one for swap and that's it | 07:59 |
| xubuntu053 | yes I did partition 18 gb for / and 2 gb for swap | 08:00 |
| xubuntu053 | which system should I choose? fat32 or ... | 08:00 |
| Sysi | ext4 | 08:01 |
| xubuntu053 | tried ext4 also... | 08:01 |
| xubuntu053 | any other setting should I make | 08:02 |
| ruien | ext3? | 08:03 |
| ruien | in any case you only want ext3 or ext4 | 08:03 |
| xubuntu053 | thanks, I'll try once more and if cannot finish, will come back for more advice from you guys, cheers. | 08:04 |
| ruien | you can also use gparted | 08:04 |
| ruien | i.e. boot from the ubuntu disk / usb drive | 08:04 |
| ruien | then use gparted if you want to partition stuff manually | 08:04 |
| xubuntu053 | yes? | 08:04 |
| ruien | I really like gparted, personally. | 08:04 |
| xubuntu053 | I ll have a look at gparted... thanks | 08:05 |
| ruien | good luck | 08:05 |

| magnus_ | is there away to change the xfce terminal title, from the command line, rather than through the gui. Like when you ssh into a server, it changes to the remote host user@host? | 10:12 |

| xubuntu214 | hello! i just switched from Ubuntu 11.04 to Xubuntu 12.04. So far everything was great, but any/all USB drives don't stay mounted. they are automounted, and when i browse them, they shortly-thereafter disappear | 10:36 |
| xubuntu214 | nor does it seem Xubuntu comes with a graphical disk utlity. | 10:37 |
| xubuntu214 | ...any ideas? | 10:38 |
| baizon | xubuntu214: check dmesg | 10:38 |
| laite | xubuntu214: you can install gnome-disk-utility from software center/synaptic | 10:38 |
| baizon | you can use the ubuntu disk utility | 10:38 |
| xubuntu214 | everytime it happens, i've done a full shutdown (to turn off the USB drive). i'm afraid if i keep doing it, i'll lose 200gb+ worth of data on the drive | 10:39 |
| xubuntu214 | i'm not sure what i'm looking for in dmesg | 10:40 |
| baizon | xubuntu214: usb messages | 10:40 |
| baizon | that indicates for problems | 10:41 |
| xubuntu214 | how far back does dmesg go? | 10:44 |
| xubuntu214 | just from the most recent boot? | 10:44 |
| xubuntu214 | i haven't connected it this time around (i was ssearching dmesg for previous bootups) | 10:44 |
| xubuntu214 | but there's a lot in there | 10:44 |
| laite | xubuntu214: command 'dmesg | greb i- usb' shows only lines which mention word 'usb' (or 'USB') | 10:48 |
| xubuntu214 | alright, ive just connected it, and run dmesg | 10:48 |
| laite | sorry, 'dmesg | grep -i usb' | 10:48 |
| laite | typos :/ | 10:49 |
| xubuntu214 | so far so good | 10:49 |
| xubuntu214 | no worries | 10:49 |
| xubuntu214 | it says its connected | 10:49 |
| xubuntu214 | can i copy/paste info in here, or is that too much? | 10:49 |
| laite | you should propably use pastebin | 10:50 |
| laite | sorry, I gotta go, be back later | 10:50 |
