[00:30] <Micah_> Hello
[00:31] <Micah_> anyone know how to remove/clear a login for a windows shared folder?
[00:32] <Micah_> when connecting for the first time i chose to save the login info...now the password has changed and i cannot access the folder. and can't find anywhere to change or remove that saved login
[00:33] <GridCube> try the gnome-keyring
[00:35] <Micah_> it shows 3 commands i can use
[00:35] <Micah_> certificate-exception           import           version
[00:36] <Micah_> or are you talking about the gui
[00:36] <Micah_> seahorse
[00:36] <gg> ur bad at cs
[00:36] <Micah_> i tried that the passwords are not stored in there
[00:37] <GridCube> you could try that, i just usually delete the ~/.gnome/keyring files and start over, but i guess there are smarter ways of doing it
[00:37] <Micah_> ill try it
[00:37] <GridCube> press ctrl-h on the file manager and search for the .gnome folder
[00:38] <GridCube> find the keyring folder and rename it to something else
[00:38] <GridCube> that should save your old data in case something wron happens (it should not)
[00:38] <gg> how do i play starcraft 1 on ubuntu or brick breaker?
[00:38] <Micah_> the files are gone...still not letting me enter in password
[00:39] <gg> i tried to play on linux but i couldnt find snake or starcraftdinner
[00:39] <GridCube> !ops
[00:39] <gg> lolol
[00:51] <gre> hi
[00:54] <gre> is xubuntu a good alternative for an old computer?
[00:55] <GridCube> it depends on how old
[00:55] <GridCube> if its reaaaally old then no
[00:55] <GridCube> if its relatevely old then probably, if you have 512+ ram you will be fine
[00:56] <gre> a p4 2.4ghz , 1GB RAM
[00:56] <gre> only 40GB HD
[00:56] <GridCube> sure it should work fine there
[00:56] <gre> with a 82865G intel chipset lol :x
[00:57] <GridCube> :) generic video drivers work pretty well with intels
[00:57] <gre> indeed? cool :)
[00:57] <GridCube> mmhm yes
[00:58] <gre> well, so i can download and install the latest xubuntu version
[00:58] <GridCube> my intel classmate works flawlessly with them
[00:58] <GridCube> gre, do your computer can boot from pendrives? and do you have a pendrive?
[00:58] <gre> oh and... is openoffice into it? or koffice? abiword?
[00:58] <GridCube> if you do then you can use unetbootin to install from them
[00:58] <gre> i don't know what a pendrive is
[00:59] <gre> ahhh
[00:59] <SkippersBoss> gre libre office comes as standard :-)
[00:59] <GridCube> an usb data storage
[00:59] <gre> an usb key ?
[00:59] <GridCube> yes
[00:59] <gre> it can
[00:59] <GridCube> SkippersBoss, xubuntu comes with abiword and gnumeric
[00:59] <GridCube> no libreoffice by default
[00:59] <SkippersBoss> auch
[00:59] <SkippersBoss> I stand corrected
[00:59] <GridCube> you can sudo apt-get it in five minutes tho
[00:59] <SkippersBoss> sorry
[01:00] <GridCube> :) no problem
[01:00] <SkippersBoss> miss information in a support channel
[01:00] <gre> but abiword can't export a .doc file to .pdf if i remember well
[01:00] <GridCube> :D not if someone corrects you quickly
[01:00] <gre> :/
[01:00] <GridCube> gre, you dont need to export
[01:00] <GridCube> you can simply print to file and choose pdf
[01:01] <gre> oh ok
[01:01] <GridCube> you can do this with every program not just text editors
[01:01] <SkippersBoss> Hmm, ABI word WILL save to pdf
[01:01] <GridCube> yes, that too
[01:01] <GridCube> but you dont *need* to, you can print to pdf from leafpad
[01:02] <gre> okay
[01:02] <gre> thanks dudes
[01:02] <GridCube> :) no problem
[01:02] <SkippersBoss> yeah but can leafpad open an ms .doc file
[01:02] <SkippersBoss> lol
[01:02] <SkippersBoss> have fun gre
[01:03] <GridCube> :P nope
[01:03] <gre> thank you, same there SkippersBoss :)
[01:03] <SkippersBoss> Justice at last
[01:04] <GridCube> gre, if you are interested on extrafast you should look into lubuntu
[02:08] <davidvj> I am using a boot usb drive to access my system, I need to retrieve my home directory and move it to a backup drive. How do set the permissions?
[02:12] <holstein> !chown
[02:13] <davidvj> I do have some understanding of permissions but since I am on a boot usb I assume that things are going to be quite different
[02:14] <davidvj> will a boot usb allow chown??
[02:36] <holstein> davidvj: i would just move the files i want
[02:36] <holstein> i would chown as needed, if needed
[02:37] <davidvj> I am trying a "sudo dd if=/sda/  ..... of=/sdf/..... " it did not ask for p/w .... not sure if it is running or not
[02:37] <holstein> i would just click and drag.. maybe gksudo whatever filemanager
[02:37] <holstein> sudo dd should work fine
[02:37] <davidvj> It would not let me click and drag ...
[02:38] <holstein> it?... due to permisssions? did you open "it" with gksudo?
[02:38] <davidvj> thanks for the re-assurance on the dd .... lets see what happens
[02:38] <holstein> anyways.. sudo dd should be working fine
[02:39] <davidvj> OK OK should have tried gksudo
[02:40] <davidvj> Thanks for the guidance
[05:32] <v1adimir> hm software center update available apparently
[05:33] <v1adimir> 5.2.2.2 to 5.2.3
[05:43] <blackgatonegro1> yup
[07:36] <v1adimir> guys what to use for a (light) desktop system monitor pls?
[07:37] <Sysi> conky
[07:37] <v1adimir> Sysi: wasn't sure if to install it.. 1.8x and 1.9 in Precise, then something else in the lunchpad PPA.. not sure from where/how to install it? :s
[07:39] <Sysi> just install "conky" or "conky-all"
[07:40] <v1adimir> ok, ok, tnx (will do :))
[07:44] <astraljava> v1adimir: You should know that we will never (officially) suggest to install anything from PPAs. :)
[07:46] <v1adimir> right, gotcha
[07:50] <v1adimir> though i wish there were certified PPAs, would make life a lot easier (than having to compile from source)
[07:54] <astraljava> v1adimir: If there were enough resources, that could be handy. But as it is, only the official repositories get support.
[12:13] <skjoedt> How do I simply change the cpu govenor (e.g. from performance to ondemand) in xubuntu?
[12:16] <ablomen> skjoedt, if your hw is supported you can use xfce4-cpufreq-plugin
[12:16] <ablomen> (or just cpufreq from the terminal)
[12:18] <skjoedt> The plugin only seems to display the current policy. Nothing happens when I change it to powersafe
[12:18] <skjoedt> This works fine in gnome2, so my hardware supports it
[12:20] <v1adimir> skjoedt: won't change on my i5-2400 from the default either, can't remember what it was that got it working
[12:21] <v1adimir> im always on 1600MHz lmao
[12:21] <skjoedt> Is it due to permissions? Properly needs sudo
[12:21] <v1adimir> no i had to hax0r something to get it to change modes
[12:22] <v1adimir> it was on another install though :(
[12:24] <skjoedt> The following command works fine (although it requires root privileges)
[12:24] <skjoedt> echo powersave | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
[12:26] <skjoedt> Is there a way to safely make the above command work without using sudo?
[12:27] <skjoedt> Perhaps change the privileges of the scaling_governor files somehow?
[12:32] <epzil0n> what about jupiter? I have used it with several distros..
[12:36] <epzil0n> http://www.webupd8.org/2012/04/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html
[12:38] <v1adimir> ^ http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/jupiter-applet-finally-available-for.html
[12:41] <v1adimir> skjoedt: if you have sandy (or ivy), it looks like turbo boost is acting right (no actual evidence to back that up, lol)
[12:41] <Os_Maleus> hi together!
[12:41] <skjoedt> v1adimir, Im on a core duo system at the moment
[12:41] <skjoedt> epzil0n, I'll try it out - thanks
[12:41] <Os_Maleus> does anybody know how dicomscope would be possible to make run?
[12:42] <v1adimir> do you have EFI bios, perhaps it reads it from there and that's why the change isn't available by default (i still can't find what i did)
[12:43] <epzil0n> it works in Xubuntu 12.04 i get 1000.00 MHz in power saving mode and 1667.00 MHz in maximum performance :P
[12:43] <v1adimir> that max is my power-saving :$
[12:44] <v1adimir> man i remember i changed it and i didn't sudo anything.. it was some config file, setting, something
[12:45] <skjoedt> epzil0n, works perfect thanks! Hopefully the video capabilities in Jupiter wont screw up my catalyst settings
[12:45] <epzil0n> skjoedt: nice, well don't use that feature ;)
[12:45] <v1adimir> whatever you do, don't press the red button
[12:45] <epzil0n> lol
[12:46] <v1adimir> :)
[12:47] <skjoedt> thanks guys this is awesome
[12:47] <skjoedt> back to 30 celcius laptop again :)
[12:47] <skjoedt> and btw I got 800 mhz in powersave :)
[12:48] <v1adimir> yea i get your point now
[12:48] <epzil0n> you are welcome :)
[12:48] <epzil0n> sweet
[12:54] <epzil0n> anyone that knows when xfce 4.10 will be in the official repos?
[12:54] <Sysi> for 12.04, never, 12.10 will have it by default
[12:55] <epzil0n> ok, so have to use a PPA then
[12:55] <Sysi> yeah
[13:47] <donmatas> Hi
[13:48] <donmatas> Small questions:
[13:50] <donmatas> The pictures saved in my desktop has only a black sqare as icon and not a minipreview as I us to it. Is anything that I can do to fix this?
[13:50] <donmatas> he pictures saved in my desktop has only a black sqare as icon and not a minipreview as I use to it. Is anything that I can do to fix this?
[13:54] <ochosi> donmatas: what version of xubuntu?
[13:55] <ochosi> donmatas: if it's 12.04, go to desktop-settings > icons > show thumbnails
[13:55] <ochosi> donmatas: if it's <12.04 there's not much you can do...
[13:59] <epzil0n> 9
[14:08] <judgen> Is the there a nightly ppa or something for xubuntu that i can use on precise? I would like to try out the tiling in xfwm4.10
[14:08] <judgen> and i think i only have 4.8 in precise
[14:13] <epzil0n> you can install xfce 4.10 through a ppa, i'm running it now in 12.04 ;)
[14:14] <epzil0n> http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/install-xfce-410-in-xubuntu-1204.html
[14:14] <epzil0n> works like a charm :)
[14:21] <donmatas> Me again
[14:23] <epzil0n> hi there
[14:25] <donmatas> sorry, I lost my connection
[14:27] <epzil0n> ok
[14:28] <donmatas> I was wondering if is possible to have minipreviews at the desktop
[14:29] <donmatas> do I make myself clear?
[14:35] <donmatas> an other tiny question:
[14:37] <donmatas> How I can customize the icon of a launcher. I only can find the default icons. Where I should put a new image to find it from the "edit launcher section"
[14:42] <Marzata> right click property edit
[14:47] <genii-around> donmatas: If you have something in /home/yourusername/.icons/   it usually looks there
[14:49] <donmatas> Mrzata: I done that buy I only find the default icons and I want to use my own icon...
[14:49] <donmatas> genii-around: thanks I will check if it works
[14:51] <Marzata> donmatas: what?
[14:51] <Marzata> right click the icon
[14:52] <Marzata> Properties, Edit ...
[14:52] <Marzata> then you have an icon to choose
[14:52] <donmatas> GEnii & Mazarta: I find it here: file:///usr/share/pixmaps/whatsapp1.png
[14:53] <donmatas> I mean, I put the image here: file:///usr/share/pixmaps/ and it works
[14:55] <judgen> epzil0n, thank you, but after long  inner deliberation i have decided to leave the LTS route for the more unstable route of alphas. I do not mind reinstalling, and do regular backups so it will probably be fine
[14:55] <judgen> as long as they do not do another grub>grub2
[14:56] <Marzata> donmatas: you can put at any path
[15:00] <donmatas> Mazarta: now I get how... ;)
[15:01] <donmatas> Mazarta: and what about the minipreviews of pictures saved at the desktop. I only see a black sqare...
[15:05] <Marzata> donmatas: you use xubuntu 12.04?
[15:11] <donmatas> YES
[15:11] <donmatas> MARZATA: yes
[15:13] <Marzata> go to Settings / Settings Manager / Desktop / Icons / Show thumbnails
[17:47] <stimoceiver> greetings
[17:49] <stimoceiver> is there a fix for the issue of xfce's "terminal" not recording user entries in utmp ?
[17:51] <blackgatonegro> looking for chromiun web bronswer, I found an insane hard and cool shooter game
[17:52] <holstein> blackgatonegro: its in the repos
[17:52] <blackgatonegro> yup
[17:52] <blackgatonegro> Chromium B.S.U.
[17:54] <holstein> OIC.. you found that game instead.. yeah, i did that the first time as well :)
[17:55] <blackgatonegro> I must say is a great strategy to get your game promoted
[17:56] <blackgatonegro> even at lower speed and difficulty, the game is hard
[17:59] <elfy> stimoceiver: not sure if there's a fix - it's due to be backported apparently - I know it's working in 12.10 now - I checked it yesterday
[18:00] <blackgatonegro> well 12.04 is a LTS, they should eventually fix it
[18:00] <stimoceiver> elfy: actually someone just pointed me to a workaround, comment 3 of bug 864609
[18:00] <elfy> ok - cool - I've not bothered to look at workrounds personally
[18:01] <stimoceiver> its a super simple workaround. apparlty the path is wrong in libvte, solution is to create a symbolic link
[18:01] <stimoceiver> the path to gnome-pty-helper
[18:03] <elfy> :)
[18:03] <elfy> wish I'd seen that when I first noticed the issue in 11.10 - but heyho
[18:04] <blackgatonegro> by the way, how come even ubuntu has its own terminal emulator? Wont be simpler to have the same terminal emulator to all ubuntu distros?
[18:05] <blackgatonegro> just asking
[21:29] <Voverius> DinuX, gyvas?
[22:09] <xubuntu522> hi friends
[22:10] <xubuntu522> soyaaaaaaaaaa
[23:16] <ShamanBrahman> Hello I'm unable to vew my flash drive within the filesystem browser
[23:16] <ShamanBrahman> view*
[23:16] <holstein> USB flash drive?
[23:16] <bazhang> !crosspost | ShamanBrahman
[23:16] <ShamanBrahman> Before this issue began I was changing the format on it and creating a bootable Windows 7 flash drive
[23:16] <ShamanBrahman> Sorry I moved here because I realized I was in the way
[23:17] <ShamanBrahman> I'm running xubuntu and they are using ubuntu
[23:17] <ShamanBrahman> So I decided my question would be better resolved in this channel
[23:17] <holstein> xubuntu *is* ubuntu
[23:17] <ShamanBrahman> Yes but I belong here
[23:18] <holstein> you can open something like gparted, and see if you see the USB stick.. you can open a terminal and type "sudo fdisk -l"
[23:18] <ShamanBrahman> Yes it's visible in gparted
[23:18] <holstein> ShamanBrahman: you can get help for you question in #ubuntu if you like
[23:18] <ShamanBrahman> but I'm unable to make any changes on it because I can't mount it
[23:18] <holstein> !mount
[23:18] <ShamanBrahman> Alright
[23:19] <ShamanBrahman> The flash drive was working fine until I reformated it and used Unetbootin to create it as a bootable Win7 installer
[23:20] <ShamanBrahman> but it's obvious that something went wrong because it can't be booted or recognized on my xubuntu
[23:20] <holstein> i would just reformat it in gparted, or take it back to win7, and format it if you are more comfortable there
[23:21] <ShamanBrahman> My Win7 machine is currently un-useable
[23:21] <ShamanBrahman> If I had access to a windows machine I probably would have already resolved my issue
[23:21] <holstein> interesting.. you think its corrupted? you think it could have corrupted your USB stick?
[23:21] <ShamanBrahman> I don't mind doing it in xubuntu though because it's a bit of a learning experience
[23:22] <ShamanBrahman> I don't think it's corrupted to be honest
[23:22] <ShamanBrahman> I guess what I'm looking for is  "magical" terminal command that will change the USB into a state where it can be recognized
[23:22] <holstein> have you mounted via the command line from the link above?
[23:23] <ShamanBrahman> I'll see how that goes now and let you know
[23:27] <ShamanBrahman> alright so I did mount and it requested that I specify the filesystem
[23:28] <ShamanBrahman> The issue with that is that gparted claims the filesystem is "unallocated"
[23:28] <holstein> yup...  the mount command will want that.. the link above will tell you how to mount different filesystems
[23:29] <ShamanBrahman> Yeah
[23:29] <ShamanBrahman> But I have no idea what file system is on here
[23:29] <holstein> if theres nothing but a live CD on there, i would just try reformatting in gparted.. i could imagine a scenario where something happened on the windows side
[23:29] <ShamanBrahman> I'm thinking it's ntfs but then why would gparted say unallocated
[23:29] <ShamanBrahman> I installed a thing that was supposed to make gparted recognize ntfs
[23:30] <holstein> i think its "unallocated" because it is... i think there was an issue formatting the device last time
[23:30] <holstein> you could elaborate about the "thing", but it should be fat formatted from unet
[23:30] <ShamanBrahman> I don't remember I was following a guide sorry that doesn't help
[23:31] <ShamanBrahman> I don't even care about the image on here
[23:31] <ShamanBrahman> I just want it to be switched into whatever format will allow me to use it
[23:31] <ShamanBrahman> and gparted doesn't allow me any actions with the USB device they are greyed out
[23:31] <holstein> ShamanBrahman: i would use gparted to format it
[23:31] <holstein> ShamanBrahman: you can unmount it
[23:32] <ShamanBrahman> I'm almost certain it isn't mounted right now
[23:32] <ShamanBrahman> because I can't browse the folders and the filesystem won't recognize that it's plugged in
[23:32] <holstein> maybe relaunch gparted... make sure its launch as root
[23:32] <holstein> launched
[23:32] <holstein> then, just for giggles.. right click and unmount the "partitions" or whatever you find in gparted
[23:34] <ShamanBrahman> gparted recognizes that it's plugged into the computer but I don't have options to do things like that with the drive
[23:34] <ShamanBrahman> If I could right click and format it I would have already done that
[23:34] <holstein> ShamanBrahman: feel free to take some screenshots... or try loading a live CD and looking at the device
[23:35] <holstein> theres nothing preventing gparted from formatting as long as its running as root, and the device isnt mounted
[23:35] <ShamanBrahman> I feel as if the device has basically "gone retard"
[23:35] <ShamanBrahman> but I can't fathom it being corrupted
[23:35] <ShamanBrahman> What kind of formatting utility would brick a flash drive
[23:36] <ShamanBrahman> I'll show you a screenshot of it being recognized in gparted with no options
[23:36] <holstein> not sure what you used in win7
[23:37] <ShamanBrahman> Alright if you're willing I think we should pursue the root of this issue differently
[23:37] <ShamanBrahman> I'll explain what I'm doing
[23:37] <holstein> when you see the list.. /dev/sda or whatever, right click there, and unmount
[23:37] <ShamanBrahman> and why the flash drive is even relevant
[23:38] <holstein> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=267869 expains a bit about doing it from the command line
[23:41] <ShamanBrahman> I'll look into the link
[23:41] <ShamanBrahman> but here is a screenshot of gparted and the device
[23:41] <ShamanBrahman> http://i.imgur.com/68d7m.png
[23:42] <ShamanBrahman> as you can see all options are greyed out
[23:42] <ShamanBrahman> I can't just format it and be on my way
[23:42] <holstein> right click on "unallocated" and take a screenie if you cant unmount it
[23:42] <ShamanBrahman> I'll need to pull some gypsy shit
[23:42] <holstein> there are no partitions
[23:42] <bazhang> ShamanBrahman, no cursing here
[23:43] <ShamanBrahman> sorry
[23:43] <holstein> i would right-click.. choose "unmount"
[23:43] <holstein> i would then right-click, and make a partition.. a fat32 or ext one.. i would hit "apply" and "format" it
[23:44] <ShamanBrahman> I would give you a screenshot of me right clicking on that big "unallocated bar" and all the options being greyed out
[23:44] <ShamanBrahman> but I'm unable to take a screenshot while right clicked
[23:44] <holstein> theres a red exclamation mark.. whats that about?
[23:44] <ShamanBrahman> a problem
[23:45] <holstein> i would literally start from scratch.. i would just wipe the table and everything.. start over
[23:45] <ShamanBrahman> warning: unrecognised disk label"
[23:45] <ShamanBrahman> it's just a flash drive and I don't care about what's on it
[23:45] <holstein> right... i would nuke that and everything else.. and start over and reformat it
[23:46] <ShamanBrahman> How would I go about doing that if gparted doesn't give me the option
[23:46] <ShamanBrahman> Is there a command that wills how me all plugged in storage devices
[23:46] <holstein> its under the "device" menu...
[23:46] <holstein> "create partition table"
[23:47] <ShamanBrahman> oh lawdy
[23:47] <ShamanBrahman> I think this might actually do it
[23:47] <holstein> right.. blow that out.. make a partition, hit apply, and that will "reformat" it
[23:48] <ShamanBrahman> Nice that worked
[23:49] <ShamanBrahman> Alrigh well now that I have a working flash drive again I'll resume putting a windows installer on it
[23:49] <ShamanBrahman> and if xubuntu gives me more issues I'll let you know
[23:49] <holstein> a windows installer?
[23:49] <ShamanBrahman> Yeah I'm working on my xubuntu laptop
[23:50] <ShamanBrahman> fixing my desktop
[23:50] <holstein> you want a xubuntu live CD?
[23:50] <holstein> live USB?
[23:50] <ShamanBrahman> I would put xubuntu on that computer but it's a gaming rig
[23:50] <ShamanBrahman> so I need my Windows for dem vidya games
[23:50] <holstein> sure... its your machine... put what you like on it
[23:50] <ShamanBrahman> I need a software that does a good job mounting a bootable image
[23:51] <holstein> mounting a bootable image?
[23:51] <ShamanBrahman> I used brasero to burn a DVD when the flash drive messed up and that disk won't make it through the installation
