[00:33] po [00:37] ran 12.04 but having to ditch it for now because x2x doesn't work from 12.04 to 10.04 [04:37] anyone here [04:37] hi [04:38] <~~ semi intoxicated and angry [04:38] i'm trying to chang my gdm theme [04:38] something i've done hundreds of times [04:38] but for some reason the options have changed [04:39] i'm running xubuntu 10.04 [04:39] !enter [04:39] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:39] user1, thats impossible to read. [04:39] gdm = "appearance"? [04:40] the greeter screen? that you see for about 3 seconds? [04:40] Sorry, first time using irc help... i created the catgirlanime GDM theme 6 years ago [04:41] i've used it on every linux install since then but for somereason on xubuntu 10.04 i can not seem to find a way to install my theme [04:41] why would you change the greeter screen hundreds of times in the first place [04:42] gdm = gnome display manager [04:42] I'm well aware [04:42] hundreds of linux installs? [04:42] so what's the issue [04:43] sounds like a theme issue, to be honest. tons from gnome-look.org and the like just don't work [04:44] there does not seem to be the usual option of setting up gdm from the gdm screen. i've been unable to find the usual login setup options thru the system>login screen app [04:44] No Tabs [04:45] if you can point me in the right direction to change gdm setting i can figure the rest out... command line is fine [04:46] google has been no help at all, even ubuntu-tweak doesn't have the right options. my theme is a tar.bz2 [04:47] http://customize.org/ggdm/45549 [04:47] I simply have not ben able to find any optionm anywhere to change the gdm theme [04:47] did you add any other PPA's? [04:48] what is a PPA? [04:48] this link suggests a ppa with another gui tool http://askubuntu.com/questions/36515/choosing-gdm-login-window-theme-via-gui-without-ubuntu-tweak [04:48] !ppa > user1 [04:48] user1, please see my private message [04:54] gdm2setup does not support themes atm [04:54] per the gdm2setup dialog [05:02] the second method calls an app that doesn';t seem to exist [05:03] user1@Computer1:~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts$ sudo apt-get install gdmsetup [05:03] Reading package lists... Done [05:03] Building dependency tree [05:03] Reading state information... Done [05:03] E: Couldn't find package gdmsetup [05:03] what am i missing [05:03] has theme switching been removed from gdm? [05:06] try ubuntu forums I mean - post a message now - go to sleep - wake up maybe there'll be an answer - file it under "desktop" [05:06] I put my problem there tonight [05:06] i'll deal with it tomorrow [05:07] all i'm saying - leave the message now [05:07] efficient [05:07] there was a time in the linux community when those online at this time of night knew something [05:07] www.ubuntuforums.org [05:07] well its xubuntu - fewer users [05:07] obscure problem really [05:07] but to be honest, this may be only the 10th time in 20 years that I have asked for help [05:08] well there you go [05:08] i've become a slackware user in recent years because slackware just doesn't get in the way [05:09] but i wanted to be lazy and not have to set everything up myself. thought maybe this one time ubuntu would save me some trouble [05:10] anyway, thanks for the attempt guys. i'll deal with it tomorrow [05:16] hi [05:21] !hi | onizu [05:21] onizu: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! [05:21] :) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:22] ok, have fun all [07:58] привет всем [08:00] hi there [08:00] does anyone know how to make hibernation work on xubuntu? [08:04] http://askubuntu.com/questions/94754/how-to-enable-hibernation-in-12-04 [08:06] @sysi: thanks! [08:07] xubuntu872: np [08:14] it says "This utility may only be run by the root user." [08:14] but i am the root user [08:16] xubuntu872: actual root or user with sudo-rights? [08:17] user set to admin [08:18] how do i check in terminal which rights a user has? [08:19] unless it's username "root" it's regular user or user with sudo [08:19] I don't use hibernation but you may need to run pm-hibernate with sudo too [08:32] tried sudo pm-hibernate, and it worked! now i will do the rest from the link u sent, many thanks! xubuntu/linux is awesome :)) [08:38] got an odd one, xScreenSaver has popped up twice asking for me to log in, this is weirding me out as it was never set to ask for a password and has only done it twice [08:41] was set to random screen saver, might be it [08:49] hibernation works now, but is very slow going into and starting back up...is there any way to make it faster? [08:50] get ssd, or use suspend instead of hibernation [08:51] i mean it takes a minute to go into and also a minute to get up again, i guess this is something w my system? [08:52] hibernate usually isn't very fast (don't mix it with suspend), but of course there can be driver issues too [08:53] w windows, ahem, it takes seconds, and because everything is usually so fast w xubuntu, i assume it is because of my system, and would be happy to adjust, if i only knew where/what? [08:55] IIRC windows uses hybrid, it suspends so you can get up&down quickly and hibernates that you survive power loss too [09:01] what is "IIRC windows" [09:01] IIRC = If I recall correctly [09:02] could not find anything in google or ubuntu sw ctr [09:50] u must have had quite some fun when i naively went for iirc windows instead of "if i recall correctly" my bad ;) [09:51] thanks for all ur help :) [10:15] i tried to release-upgrade my desktop pc to precise (from oneiric) and now it says the upgrade failed and my system might be unusable. [10:15] this is in german so i don't know the exact phrase though. [10:16] i've looked at the logfiles in /var/log/dist-upgrade but so far i cannot tell what went wrong [10:16] what should i do next? [10:16] take backups, if you already didn't [10:16] i'm afraid that rebooting / exiting my session will render the system unusable [10:16] i did / regularly do [10:16] but only of /home and /etc [10:17] i did an upgrade to latest packages of oneiric before the release-upgrade [10:17] so this should have been the "normal" upgrade use case [10:17] :( [10:18] yeah... but upgrades can always go wrong :/ [10:18] for me they usually do [10:18] i really don't know why [10:18] anyway, if you have backups, i'd say try to upgrade all the packages you can now and then try to boot [10:18] sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade for example [10:19] and maybe run sudo apt-get update first [10:19] ok, i'll try that [10:19] it might be it's just some configuration that failed [10:19] just running apt-get dist-upgrade threw a couple of dependency errors on me [10:19] apt-get should tell you if there is some bigger problems [10:19] mmh. which servers are you using? [10:19] de.archive.ubuntu.com [10:19] you might want to change to the "main" servers [10:20] they should have the most up-to-date packages [10:20] have there been any out-of-sync issues lately? [10:20] a few possible cases [10:20] are they at archive.ubuntu.com? [10:20] yes, that's it [10:20] ok, i'll try with those [10:20] thanks for helping me [10:21] no problem [10:21] a lot of version mismatches show up for libdevmapper and server-xorg-video-* [10:22] apt-get -f dist-upgrade seems to want to continue. is that a safe command? [10:24] the xmind package seems to have a broken description (i told them 3 years ago) thus breaking dpkg and dpkg-query [10:26] hmh [10:26] apt-get check? [10:26] i fixed the files to a point where i was able to dpkg -r xmind [10:27] so it's just that which is broken? [10:27] they lack a . in an empty line in their description. i 've told them, they ignored it [10:27] maybe. right now the upgrade continues [10:27] have you filed a bug about it? [10:27] i'll get breakfast while it's running [10:28] is xmind an official package? I think it is packaged by xmind themselves and i'm not sure how i told them (bugreport, email). [10:28] ah, right [10:28] :) [10:28] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/583476 [10:28] Launchpad bug 583476 in dctrl-tools "Installing xmind breaks grep-status" [Undecided,New] [10:28] in that case, yeah, they should fix it theirself [13:29] oh dear, i have the same issue i had last time upgrading to precise: the volume indicator in the notification area is missing. [13:29] last time GridCube told me to remove and re-add the notification area which brought the indicator back. [13:29] this time however it didn't help [13:30] the network applet is visible though [13:30] is it because i don't load the gnome runtime on login? [13:30] the working machine does [13:31] ah, i had the wrong notification applet [13:31] sry for the bugging [16:00] hi [16:00] I have a server with 2 HD and I would like to install Xubuntu using software RAID [16:07] is there any downside installing 32-bit xubuntu into 64-bit machine with 4Gb RAM [16:08] you can't use every bit of that 4GB [16:08] so not really [16:08] how Xubuntu should be installed to use software RAID? [16:08] well, what I've seen xubuntu manages with 2Gb just perfectly =) [16:08] uskerine2: with alternate installation disk [16:09] !raid [16:09] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [16:09] It's just that wine seems to crash a lot with Mass Effect2, and I've narrowed problem to be with '64bit librarys on 32bit software'-range :/ [16:09] so I have to download alternate installation disk [16:09] ok [16:09] thanks [16:10] so I was wondering whether I should just install 32--bit xubuntu instead [16:10] it may be possible some way with livecd but you have to search that info yourself :P alternate is probably easier [16:12] I have to install a server, I am fine with downloading alternate and using it [16:12] is it difficult? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [16:52] with 1Tb HD, which partitions layout would you recommend [16:52] ? [16:53] uskerine2: this totally depends on your needs [16:53] desktop system [16:53] usually i go with small /boot, swap, and the rest for lvm [16:53] 20 thin clients against a single server, firefox & libreoffice usage [16:54] is it recommended to use separate /var ? [16:54] then i add a system partition to the lvm with 8-16 GB [16:54] for a server, a separate /var can be usefull, if space consumptious applications like mysql reside there [16:55] with lvm you can resize all partitions as needed lateron [16:55] i didn't know lvm [17:21] radio tray users in here? [17:34] Hello. I use 12.04 LTS. Can I filter which umounted removable devices are displayed on desktop? I have multiple HDD partitions that I don't want to use on this installation [17:34] hagi, you can hide all those devices, but afaik, no filtering is possible [17:34] that is a shame :( [17:35] so when I plug in my USB stick, what kind of other tool I can use to access it if desktop utility is hidden [17:35] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=124445 may help [17:46] how do I extract the address from a linked piece of text for 400 examples?

[18:59] yes, thanks [19:00] i dont know wtf I did, but there are 7 missing links for the grand total [19:00] redoing it again [19:07] help with geany: what do I write in replace to get rid of all return hits? [19:22] how do I add url= to the beginnig of all the 500 lines of the txt I am editing with geany? [19:28] martinphone: Did you ever thinkn about asking in #geany for help with geany? [19:28] closing in: I need to add all these names http://paste.ubuntu.com/1020153/ to all these urls http://paste.ubuntu.com/1020152/ in exactly that order. I am editing it with geany [19:29] yes drc , but nobody answers me there [19:29] and another chatter helped me here with a command [19:39] Hello, I'm running on 12.04 but I have no clue how to change my startup applications, could someone point me in the right direction? [19:40] Xifanie: App Menu>Settings>Settings Manager>Session and Startup>Application Autostart. [19:41] Ah thanks! :) [19:52] screen tearing in xubuntu 12.04...any solutions?

[20:34] !es [20:34] En 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. [20:35] Thanks!!!

[21:34] cat /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf [21:35] Hi guys, I'm pretty new to linux and I think I made a bit of a mistake when installing xubuntu. Is it supposed to come with GRUB? [21:35] nm-tool will also have it. [21:35] Grub? Quite so, do you think it doesn't have it? Or is it just not showing up? [21:35] "/var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf? [21:35] My computer is just booting to windows instead of going to it [21:36] I didn't pick "install xubuntu side by side with windows", though [21:36] I picked "Do something else" from the installer to set up my partitions [21:36] I guess I missed something when there [21:36] unit193, i have installed dnsmasq as i need it for LTSP [21:36] Should have given you the chance not to, but unless you unchecked it. [21:36] and since then name resolution [21:36] does not work [21:37] any ideas? [21:37] Should I just reinstall the whole thing, or is there a quicker fix? [21:37] uskerine: That'll be fun, Ubuntu uses it for something else. [21:37] !grub | nclm: It has the answer here [21:37] nclm: It has the answer here: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

Thank you. [21:38] Unit193, /var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf points to the right one, but /etc/resolv.conf points to loopback address [21:38] is that right?

[23:14] http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-xfapplet-plugin [23:15] bazhang: Not found in precise, as you say. :( [23:15] GridCube: Let me check. [23:17] GridCube: I don't see a volume indicator in the list of panel plugins available. There is a Mixer plugin, but just for controlling volume by the looks of it. [23:18] KombuchaKip, you know the icon to control volume in the panel, the one thats beside the network manager icon? and the mail icon? it integrates media players into itself when playing [23:19] GridCube: Can you let me know what the plugin is called? My panel looks different. [23:19] KombuchaKip, its not called anything, its integrated into the plugin indicator plugin [23:19] GridCube: Ok [23:20] is anyway to install xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.4 in 12.04 for intel graphic ? [23:21] GridCube: I added the Indicator Plugin to the panel, restarted rhythmbox, but it just says "No Indicators" [23:22] KombuchaKip, doesnt rhythmbox have an option somewhere to add an indicator to the indicator area? [23:22] GridCube: I'll try installing indicator-sound [23:22] KombuchaKip, it should look like this: http://frugalware.org/~devil505/blog/plugin-sound-menu-indicator-pour-exaile/?lang=en [23:23] rhythmbox should be integrated ther [23:24] how do you guys not go insane from the gtk3 move bug when using the software center or evince? [23:24] who uses usc when can use sudo apt-get [23:25] malv, thats not a support question [23:25] installing humble bundle games [23:25] GridCube: I already have that package installed. Like I said, I added the xfce indicator plugin to my panel, but it just says "No indicators" [23:25] install from the command line then [23:26] KombuchaKip, well, why? [23:26] GridCube: ??? [23:26] what have you done to not having any plugin to the plugin indicator? [23:26] you should have the 3 that comes with xubuntu [23:26] do not many people use Xubuntu because I am surprised the bug hasn't been addressed [23:26] malv, i never heard of that [23:27] do you use evince? [23:27] no [23:27] malv, file a bug [23:27] ^^^^ [23:27] !bugs | malv [23:27] malv: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [23:27] already have [23:27] as always, the bug sits there unaddressed [23:27] then follow up on it malv [23:27] whats the buglink malv [23:27] malv, go to #xubuntu-devel and paste it, complain and do something to get it fixed [23:28] hm? [23:28] -complain [23:28] :) [23:28] if devel people dont know about at problem then tehy wont ever fix it [23:28] not sure if they'd be good to handle it since it seems to reside in gtk+3 [23:28] * GridCube always complains and he stills allowed around this places [23:28] malv, whats the bug link [23:29] malv, you don't know till you ask [23:29] I dont want to associate my real name with my IRC accnt [23:29] and I post with my real identity [23:29] ... [23:29] ... [23:29] in that case, tough luck really [23:29] ._. [23:29] malv, this is not the complaints channel [23:29] is there a complaints channel? [23:29] NO [23:29] malv, that's /dev/null [23:30] try ##unavailable [23:30] how do things get fixed if people do not complain [23:30] by people being elaborate on the issues they're having [23:30] malv, they file bugs, and respectfully follow up on them, not waste people times complaining and doing nothing to move things forward [23:30] tried that [23:31] malv, you just said you dont want to, you are the one not wanting to paste the bugreport to the people who can fix it, i mean, man [23:31] no you haven't [23:31] malv, you wont even tell us the bug link [23:31] while we want to help our users, FOSS is still "who does, decides" [23:31] it's there in the GTK+3 package section [23:31] link [23:31] in any case, lets go back to real problems KombuchaKip [23:31] yea, seems like I will have to fix it myself [23:31] and I'll keep the fix for myself =) [23:32] GridCube: lol [23:32] KombuchaKip, so what did you did to get rid of the plugins indicators? [23:32] malv, please get on topic here [23:32] did you deleted something? [23:32] GridCube: Who knows. I remember removing a bunch of indicator packages because they were visually "noisy" to me. But I don't know what the minimal to install back again so I can use with rhythmbox. [23:33] :( [23:33] well i dont know KombuchaKip you deleted part of what xubuntu is [23:33] so i don't know how to help with that [23:33] refixing it should be like reinstalling xubuntu-desktopn [23:34] xubuntu-desktop [23:34] GridCube: It's just a metapackage, as that's largely what xubuntu is. I don't want to install that deb again because it will pull all kinds of other crap that I removed and don't want. [23:35] but... you are in the #xubuntu channel, and you are not using xubuntu... you are just using xfce [23:36] you see the problem there? [23:36] the plugin indicator is part of xubuntu. it integrates media players to control it and stuff [23:36] KombuchaKip, using xfce-only is not officially supported - it doesn't mean we won't help with it at all - but we don't always know why problems arise [23:37] GridCube: No, I don't see the problem. The indicator plugin is part of xfce. Xubuntu is just a collection of xfce packages. So all I'm asking is which actual package, not metapackage, should I install. [23:37] KombuchaKip, problems that happen with xubuntu-desktop are higher priority [23:37] knome: I understand. [23:38] in addition to just a set of packages, xubuntu does provide configuration stuff too, so it's not always straightforward [23:38] knome: I understand. [23:39] knome: But all I'm asking is which deb contains the binary for the indicator support that provides rhythmbox integration? [23:39] KombuchaKip, http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/xubuntu-desktop [23:39] GridCube: See above. [23:39] KombuchaKip, see above [23:39] KombuchaKip, i've no idea. because of what i just said, these kind of answers are not always available [23:40] GridCube: Yes, I asked which deb. The one you pointed to is a metapackage, as it says right on the page. [23:40] KombuchaKip, according to that site you should need the indicator-sound-gtk2 [23:41] GridCube: Thank you. I'll try that. [23:41] it lists ALL the packages it install... [23:42] GridCube: Thanks. That is the right package. [23:43] see, the link i pasted you, it had information on it, to read [23:43] ;) [23:43] GridCube: Yes, I can see it pulls about a hundred packages. As said earlier, that's not what I wanted. [23:43] note that not all the music players know how to use the sound indicator, rhythmbox should [23:44] GridCube: Agreed. It does.
