=== pangolin is now known as Guest68384 === Guest68384 is now known as IdleOne [05:43] hi, i've got a problem [05:43] somebody can help me, please¿ [05:45] no one will know, until you say what the problem is... [06:37] good question for a stupid set up.. Have VBox, Need to allow usb in VBoxUsers. However. Said users is not in the "Users and Groups" catagory... [07:17] can someone tell me where the default wallpaper folder is located? [07:20] linuxshine: see if this helps http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=5317 [07:21] I just did locate found it I was in the wrong folder [07:21] was looking in local it was in share [07:22] Thanks well_laid_lawn [07:22] cheers :) === qwebirc1096 is now known as missmimi [07:31] hi 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. [07:32] also 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 issue [07:33] also 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 again [07:33] what did you install? [07:34] well 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 me [07:34] not sure of all of them but thought maybe problem was ttf-mscore [07:35] dose grub load? [07:35] which i saw after install i didnt need but couldnt find how to uninstall [07:35] the grub screen loads yes [07:36] can you boot to recovery? maybe broken packages? [07:36] but i cannot boot completely into any mode i was able to check disk i can edit and command prompt but unfortunately cannot recover [07:36] it stops says badRAM [07:36] amoung a long list of course but that stood out [07:39] also 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 help [07:41] why do you have to make another disk? [07:41] cant you just boot into live disc [07:42] i 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 now [07:43] which made me think maybe it was from taking it out without ejecting it but maybe thats a stretch [07:44] this 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. [07:46] any thought on what that hardware problem could possibly be? i dont know much about that stuff really [07:46] not sure what i would do next [07:46] the live cd should have a menu entry for memtest [07:46] I would try that [07:48] i did that but didnt finish because i dont know what it meant i did get 1 error returned in test 3 [07:48] try it again and write the error down maybe [07:49] it does sound like a memory issue [07:49] could it be a failed RAM stick because i do believe its possible i have one of those from a previous windows issue [07:50] yes a failed ram stick means the same as a memory issue - the same thing [07:50] ah thanks [07:51] so in theory if that where it and i removed that stick at put in a functional one it would be solved [07:51] right? [07:51] it should be ok yes [07:57] super 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 thanks [08:29] is there anything in the works that will allow file transfers to be paused? [09:45] linuxshine: you might get an answer to that in #xfce [09:45] I dunno [09:52] yea I brought it up over there just need to find a developer that has the knowledge time and interest to make it happen [09:53] it would really set thunar apart from the crowd [09:54] linuxshine: write a suggestion [09:54] linuxshine: https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev [09:55] or you can use bugzilla [09:55] https://bugzilla.xfce.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&product=Thunar&long_desc_type=substring&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailassigned_to2=1&emailreporter2=1&emailqa_contact2=1&ema [09:55] ilcc2=1&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0= [09:55] ups, sorry.

I can't seem to find a solution with software center. What must I do ? [11:08] any suggestion on bluetooth ? [11:11] Do you mean your BT broadband connection? [11:12] nope, only bluetooth [11:13] Is that a USB dongle that plugs into the computer? [11:13] I want to connect my phone to computer via bluetooth [11:13] not a dongle an internal BT in laptop [11:14] blueman is somehow buggy so I unistalled everything related [11:14] wireless is working tho [11:27] odradek, 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? [11:34] oh, 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. [11:46] Is there someway to remove the Desktop folder? [11:46] or move it [11:46] I like my folders all lowercase [11:46] http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2156965/Ed-Balls-splashed-thousands-private-poll-voters-dont-like--case-hes-doubt-new-MoS-survey-reveals-hes-untrustworthy-opportunist.html?ITO=google_news_rss_feed&google_editors_picks=true [11:47] oops wrong channel [12:08] Can I have a peronal opinion on this channel? [12:11] I don't think they have yet brought in thought-crime legislation for IRC. Yet. So by all means, have an opinion. [12:11] my opinion is not welcome on #Ubuntu - I'm not politically correct for the people there, I guess... [12:12] I HATE politically correct BS! [12:15] Now, now. It's not BS any more. 'BS' is sexist: cows poo too. [12:15] sorry, but; LIKE I CARE! ;) [12:15] :-) [12:17] I used to clean up cow poo when I was young... :P [12:17] wow... how did you do that, SandJ? [12:39] guys what music player do you all use? gmusicbrowser? === yrg is now known as gry === gry is now known as yrg [12:45] I 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 random [12:47] Kingsy: you could ask in #gmusicbrowser about that, the author squentin is usually very helpful [12:47] or perhaps try changing to some other interface in preferences->audio - tab [12:48] thanks for the info nice one [12:56] Kingsy - which version of Xubuntu? [12:57] There is a bug in 11.10 whereby it defaults to one player but installs another. [12:57] I am on 12.04 [12:57] it hasnt done it in a while.. perhaps I did something to the files and now I have refreshed the library its alright [12:58] what music player do you guys use? [12:58] I am happy with Parole. Exaile is OK too. Everyone else recommends gmusicbrowser. [12:58] yeah, I was just looking for a nice UI tbh [12:59] Kingsy: there are a lot of music players for linux, just try them out to find what you like best =) [12:59] personally, if there wasn't gmb I would use rhythmbox or clementine [13:01] It seems to be a bit like "Which is the best car?" - there is no one answer. [13:02] exactly =) [13:02] heh yeha [13:02] Which, 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. [13:03] Hurrah! Linux has arrived! [13:04] Now, I'm going back to playing Oolite, the modern open-source version of Elite... which I run under Linux, of course... :-) [13:26] hola a todos [13:26] hi to all [14:32] ciao a tutti, non riesco ad installare una chiavetta internet della vodafone su xubuntu 12.04 [14:38] non riesco a installare la chiavetta vodafone [15:24] hello！！！ [15:24] please help [15:24] !ask [15:24] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [15:25] I am using xubuntu 12.04 [15:25] xubuntu303, you need to ask a question. [15:26] i think hes writing hes problem at the moment :) [15:26] But if I minimize a program window，I can not recover it [15:26] How can I solve this bug？ [15:26] xubuntu303, it doesn't minimize to the bar up top? [15:26] did you delete panel 1 or something? [15:27] NO， this is a new system [15:28] alt+tab doesnt help [15:28] sory maybe my question is unclear [15:28] alt+tab is available [15:28] is it working? [15:29] does the minimized window show with alt+tab? [15:29] yes [15:29] ok [15:30] try to remove the panel window addon and recreate it [15:30] but when I click the minimized Taskbar [15:30] @baizon how can I do it？ [15:31] xubuntu303: http://pclosmag.com/html/Issues/201203/images/page02_01.png [15:31] add new item [15:32] or right click and panel preferences [15:32] and then the items tab [15:33] there you can easy remove and add elements [15:33] please wait for a moment ，I am translating your words by google :-) [15:34] a ok, your from china :) [15:35] ya？？why you know ？ [15:37] xubuntu303, your IP address probably [15:37] sorry have to go [15:37] OK I have understanded what you have told me，thanks very much，I will try and feedback to you.

[15:38] is there any equivalent to passwd but in graphic mode for XFCE or GNOME? [15:40] uskerine: http://askubuntu.com/questions/66718/how-to-manage-users-and-groups [15:40] i don't want that stuff baizon [15:40] i am looking for a simple and plain graphic replacement for passwd, just that [15:41] it is for a thin client environment [15:41] it is more work to implement a gui for passwd then using the terminal [15:41] so it will be hard to find a too [15:41] tool [15:42] i guess so [15:42] open terminal -> passwd is very easy :) [15:42] i would like to avoid opening a terminal [15:42] i am blocking terminal access to users [15:43] if i run passwd, it opens a whole terminal window, where they can open a new terminal and start launching commands [15:43] yes but it would have to load a gui libery and a script which run passwd :) [15:43] in xubuntu it loads a whole terminal window [15:43] you got stuck directly to passwd, which is fine [15:43] but you can also browse the terminal menu and "open a new terminal" [15:45] uskerine, you are asking a really niche thing - there might be a tool what you are looking for somewhere, but it ain't shipped with xubuntu [15:46] uskerine, not what most people would like to have anyway [15:47] ok thanks [15:47] i know it is niche app [15:47] but it makes sense [15:47] as in a thin client environment, you do not want users messing around terminal windows [15:48] i managed to block access from everywhere, but now terminal access is again on gui if i use passwd [17:08] http://pastebin.com/bi6GMHPY [17:09] I tryied to install proprietary drivers and I couldn't ... [17:09] anyone can help me out please... [17:10] is an ATI/AMD FGRLX graphics card... [17:10] I put the output on the pastbin... [17:10] http://pastebin.com/bi6GMHPY [17:12] seems it works fine my laptop but afterwhile the tool bar disappear... [17:12] perhaps is that the reason... [17:13] kind of bug the I can't solve it...

[21:27] how can i copy all files from /home/user to /etc/skel [21:27] including directories and hidden files/directories? [21:30] uskerine: you can have a look at the -A option to cp it might be what you want [21:30] i will have a look thanks well_laid_lawn [21:30] can't see -A option in man [21:31] sorry I keep doing that, it's the -a option [21:32] I'd do a test first [21:32] i can't get the hidden files copied [21:32] if i do [21:33] cp -a /home/user/ /etc/skel/ [21:33] then i get user directory under /etc/skel/ [21:33] which is not what i want [21:33] if i do cp -a /home/user/* /ec/skel [21:33] then i don't get the hidden files copied [21:36] to get the hidden files you need to copy the directory or add a second step to copy the hidden files [21:37] try cp -r {*,.*} [21:42] Hello 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. Tha [21:43] opp's, the crash with colord is at the start of X, not bootup. [21:51] The Xubuntu live cd runs faster and smoother than my Kubuntu install. I like it a lot. [21:52] xubuntu is nice very nice its what ubuntu should be [21:52] I Love it! [21:52] always nice to hear :)# [21:53] : ) [21:53] AssociateX maybe try re downloading and burning at a slower speed? [21:54] Ha, that's exactly what I started doing. [21:55] Yhea I had similar problems with a older version of ubuntu years ago [21:55] spent hours trying to figure it out [21:57] I spent all night last night, and then too much time today. [21:57] ...on it. [21:58] But it's cool, I'm on vacation and it's raining outside, so what better to do than to get Xubuntu installed. [21:59] Lol yhea if you have the time xfice 4.10 runs really nice on xubuntu been running for about a week now [21:59] *xfce [22:00] the only thing is a separator on the top bar is missing when you update to it that takes 10 seconds to fix [22:01] What do you mean? separator on or for what? [22:01] on the the panel [22:01] if you decide to checkout 4.10 if not it will be released in 12.10 probably better to wait [22:02] well good luck AssociateX [22:02] gtg [22:03] thank you [22:03] later [22:09] what command would help me find why install.py is crashing?? [22:43] Well, it's done burning. Time for a reboot. [22:46] can you confirm if CABExtract comes by default with xubuntu? [22:46] and, where is the icon to launch it? [22:47] or, is it command line only? [23:06] Well, that didn't work. [23:06] I got an iso from a mirror instead of a torrent, I'm getting the same errors. [23:07] colord crashes. [23:10] ubiquity -d --pdb --no-migration-assistant --only <--- any better suggestion? [23:13] I wish there was a -v --verbose option. [23:44] hi
