=== qwebirc1096 is now known as missmimi
missmimihi hello- i am running xubuntu 12.04 i installed via usb made with livelinux erased hard drive to install completely and everything was fine until i installed various software from linux software center then crashed and upon reboot i find i cannot boot into OS from hard disk or from usb. i have a log from check disk.07:31
missmimialso this has happened quiet i few times...i had ubuntu before and the same thing happened i could reboot fine for awhile then this same issue07:32
missmimialso after software. someone told me it sounded like a hardware issue though so i want to try to be sure before going and making another disk sitting thru another install and config the system again07:33
linuxshinewhat did you install?07:33
missmimiwell i only selecting a few programs but they had packages and it didnt ask me if i wanted to install those...just did where ubuntu used to ask me07:34
missmiminot sure of all of them but thought maybe problem was ttf-mscore07:34
linuxshinedose grub load?07:35
missmimiwhich i saw after install i didnt need but couldnt find how to uninstall07:35
missmimithe grub screen loads yes07:35
linuxshinecan you boot to recovery? maybe broken packages?07:36
missmimibut i cannot boot completely into any mode  i was able to check disk i can edit and command prompt but unfortunately cannot recover07:36
missmimiit stops says badRAM07:36
missmimiamoung a long list of course but that stood out07:36
missmimialso when i go into edit with E from grub it appears to only have a short section from the msdos section of the boot file i was wondering if fixing that manually may help07:39
linuxshinewhy do you have to make another disk?07:41
linuxshinecant you just boot into live disc07:41
missmimii could but then i lose the infor each time no? if i just choose "try" oh if you mean currently no the usb also returns that boot error now07:42
missmimiwhich made me think maybe it was from taking it out without ejecting it but maybe thats a stretch07:43
LinXzthis is starting to sound like a hardware problem; I've never had a computer stop loading a system in any media tried, unless there is a problem with the hardware.07:44
missmimiany thought on what that hardware problem could possibly be? i dont know much about that stuff really07:46
missmiminot sure what i would do next07:46
well_laid_lawnthe live cd should have a menu entry for memtest07:46
well_laid_lawnI would try that07:46
missmimii did that but didnt finish because i dont know what it meant i did get 1 error returned in test 307:48
well_laid_lawntry it again and write the error down maybe07:48
well_laid_lawnit does sound like a memory issue07:49
missmimicould it be a failed RAM stick because i do believe its possible i have one of those from a previous windows issue07:49
well_laid_lawnyes a failed ram stick means the same as a memory issue - the same thing07:50
missmimiah thanks07:50
missmimiso in theory if that where it and i removed that stick at put in a functional one it would be solved07:51
missmimiright?07:51
well_laid_lawnit should be ok yes07:51
missmimisuper i know i have some good ones somewhere this helps a lot thank you i will try it in the morning and run the tests thanks07:57
linuxshineis there anything in the works that will allow file transfers to be paused?08:29
well_laid_lawnlinuxshine: you might get an answer to that in #xfce09:45
well_laid_lawnI dunno09:45
linuxshineyea I brought it up over there just need to find a developer that has the knowledge time and interest to make it happen09:52
linuxshineit would really set thunar apart from the crowd09:53

odradekhello, my BT doesn't work on xubuntu 12.04 / xfce 4.10 so I unistall all related. I can't seem to find a solution with software center. What must I do ?10:59
odradekany suggestion on bluetooth ?11:08
SandJDo you mean your BT broadband connection?11:11
odradeknope, only bluetooth11:12
SandJIs that a USB dongle that plugs into the computer?11:13
odradekI want to connect my phone to computer via bluetooth11:13
odradeknot a dongle an internal BT in laptop11:13
odradekblueman is somehow buggy so I unistalled everything related11:14
odradekwireless is working tho11:14
SandJodradek, is this so you can use the microphone and speaker on your computer as a phone, or so you can use the phone as a Skype handset, or the phone as an internet connection, or something else?11:27
SandJoh, he's gone.  So much for booting the wife's netbook from Xubuntu 12.04 CD and getting it talking to her bluetooth mobile phone.  Thanks for waiting, odradek, while I did this for you.11:34
stianhjIs there someway to remove the Desktop folder?11:46
stianhjor move it11:46
stianhjI like my folders all lowercase11:46

rhin0oops wrong channel11:47
LinXzCan I have a peronal opinion on this channel?12:08
SandJI don't think they have yet brought in thought-crime legislation for IRC.  Yet.  So by all means, have an opinion.12:11
LinXzmy opinion is not welcome on #Ubuntu - I'm not politically correct for the people there, I guess...12:11
LinXzI HATE politically correct BS!12:12
SandJNow, now.  It's not BS any more.  'BS' is sexist: cows poo too.12:15
LinXzsorry, but; LIKE I CARE! ;)12:15
SandJ:-)12:15
LinXzI used to clean up cow poo when I was young... :P12:17
LinXzwow... how did you do that, SandJ?12:17
Kingsyguys what music player do you all use? gmusicbrowser?12:39
=== yrg is now known as gry
=== gry is now known as yrg
KingsyI am kinda looking around for someting else cos it gives me these errors --> Playing error : Resource not found. at /usr/bin/../share/gmusicbrowser/gmusicbrowser_gstreamer-0.10.pm line 135. <-- only sometimes.. seems random12:45
laiteKingsy: you could ask in #gmusicbrowser about that, the author squentin is usually very helpful12:47
laiteor perhaps try changing to some other interface in preferences->audio - tab12:47
Kingsythanks for the info nice one12:48
SandJKingsy - which version of Xubuntu?12:56
SandJThere is a bug in 11.10 whereby it defaults to one player but installs another.12:57
KingsyI am on 12.0412:57
Kingsyit hasnt done it in a while.. perhaps I did something to the files and now I have refreshed the library its alright12:57
Kingsywhat music player do you guys use?12:58
SandJI am happy with Parole.  Exaile is OK too.  Everyone else recommends gmusicbrowser.12:58
Kingsyyeah, I was just looking for a nice UI tbh12:58
laiteKingsy: there are a lot of music players for linux, just try them out to find what you like best =)12:59
laitepersonally, if there wasn't gmb I would use rhythmbox or clementine12:59
SandJIt seems to be a bit like "Which is the best car?" - there is no one answer.13:01
laiteexactly =)13:02
Kingsyheh yeha13:02
SandJWhich, I suppose, demonstrates Linux really is mainstream now.  It's no longer "There's an alternative to Windows", it's which Linux? and which apps? too.13:02
SandJHurrah!  Linux has arrived!13:03
SandJNow, I'm going back to playing Oolite, the modern open-source version of Elite... which I run under Linux, of course...  :-)13:04

uskerineis there equivalent to passwd but in graphic mode for XFCE or GNOME?15:38
uskerineis there any equivalent to passwd but in graphic mode for XFCE or GNOME?15:38
baizonuskerine: http://askubuntu.com/questions/66718/how-to-manage-users-and-groups15:40
uskerinei don't want that stuff baizon15:40
uskerinei am looking for a simple and plain graphic replacement for passwd, just that15:40
uskerineit is for a thin client environment15:41
baizonit is more work to implement a gui for passwd then using the terminal15:41
baizonso it will be hard to find a too15:41
baizontool15:41
uskerinei guess so15:42
baizonopen terminal -> passwd is very easy :)15:42
uskerinei would like to avoid opening a terminal15:42
uskerinei am blocking terminal access to users15:42
uskerineif i run passwd, it opens a whole terminal window, where they can open a new terminal and start launching commands15:43
baizonyes but it would have to load a gui libery and a script which run passwd :)15:43
uskerinein xubuntu it loads a whole terminal window15:43
uskerineyou got stuck directly to passwd, which is fine15:43
uskerinebut you can also browse the terminal menu and "open a new terminal"15:43
knomeuskerine, you are asking a really niche thing - there might be a tool what you are looking for somewhere, but it ain't shipped with xubuntu15:45
knomeuskerine, not what most people would like to have anyway15:46
uskerineok thanks15:47
uskerinei know it is niche app15:47
uskerinebut it makes sense15:47
uskerineas in a thin client environment, you do not want users messing around terminal windows15:47
uskerinei managed to block access from everywhere, but now terminal access is again on gui if i use passwd15:48

uskerinei will have a look thanks well_laid_lawn21:30
uskerinecan't see -A option in man21:30
well_laid_lawnsorry I keep doing that, it's the -a option21:31
well_laid_lawnI'd do a test first21:32
uskerinei can't get the hidden files copied21:32
uskerineif i do21:32
uskerinecp -a /home/user/ /etc/skel/21:33

AssociateXHello channel. I'm getting at crash at bootup with colord. Then on the install after about what think is probably half way through the install window disappears, I ran "ubiquity --pdb" in a terminal but got no error message when it crashed. The mouse looked busy so I waited like ten minute and the install window started over, I went through the process a couple more times. Where should I start on this? Is this a known issue. Tha21:42
AssociateXopp's, the crash with colord is at the start of X, not bootup.21:43
AssociateXThe Xubuntu live cd runs faster and smoother than my Kubuntu install. I like it a lot.21:51
linuxshinexubuntu is nice very nice its what ubuntu should be21:52
linuxshineI Love it!21:52
ochosialways nice to hear :)#21:52
AssociateX: )21:53
linuxshineAssociateX maybe try re downloading and burning at a slower speed?21:53
AssociateXHa, that's exactly what I started doing.21:54
linuxshineYhea I had similar problems with a older version of ubuntu years ago21:55
linuxshinespent hours trying to figure it out21:55
AssociateXI spent all night last night, and then too much time today.21:57
AssociateX...on it.21:57
AssociateXBut it's cool, I'm on vacation and it's raining outside, so what better to do than to get Xubuntu installed.21:58
linuxshineLol yhea if you have the time xfice 4.10 runs really nice on xubuntu been running for about a week now21:59
linuxshine*xfce21:59
linuxshinethe only thing is a separator on the top bar is missing when you update to it that takes 10 seconds to fix22:00
AssociateXWhat do you mean? separator on or for what?22:01
linuxshineon the the panel22:01
linuxshineif you decide to checkout 4.10 if not it will be released in 12.10 probably better to wait22:01
linuxshinewell good luck AssociateX22:02
linuxshinegtg22:02
AssociateXthank you22:03
AssociateXlater22:03
AssociateXwhat command would help me find why install.py is crashing??22:09
AssociateXWell, it's done burning. Time for a reboot.22:43
martinphonecan you confirm if CABExtract comes by default with xubuntu?22:46
martinphoneand, where is the icon to launch it?22:46
martinphoneor, is it command line only?22:47
AssociateXWell, that didn't work.23:06
AssociateXI got an iso from a mirror instead of a torrent, I'm getting the same errors.23:06
AssociateXcolord crashes.23:07
AssociateXubiquity -d --pdb --no-migration-assistant --only <--- any better suggestion?23:10
AssociateXI wish there was a -v --verbose option.23:13
