[00:22] In totem, is there some way to turn of the visualisation rubbish when I'm playing music? [00:24] Never mind, I found it, hidden away. [00:28] :P === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [02:35] hello [02:36] is xfce4.10 ppa updated? or still have issues that need to be fixed with synaptic? [02:38] xubuntu157, if you're referring to https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/xfce-4.10, it looks like it was last updated about 7 weeks ago. What issues are you referring to [02:51] I am getting this in mediatomb MediaTomb UI is disabled. Check your configuration. what do i do to fix my config [03:03] Hello [03:04] question: why can't i mount NFS volumes on my xubuntu machine? [03:09] delt, what happens when you try? Error messages? Have you had a look at the NFS-Client section of the NFS wiki at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto/ [03:21] my daughter remove the pannel that show the programs that are running how to fix? [03:23] You can either reset it, or set it up again. [03:23] pooltable, right-click the panel, select "Panel->Add New Items" and add the "Window Buttons" item [03:28] ok about that mediatomb question I've gotten to here sudo nano /etc/mediatomb/config.xml but now I need to know how to modify at this point I cant change this is how it should look but I cant make the change stick, any help? [03:29] xubuntu110: perhaps try #mediatomb? it's not very popular and it's something that comes with xubuntu by default so I don't think you'll have a lot of luck finding someone here who is well-versed in it [03:30] not sure what you mean by "cant make the change stick" - the file doesn't save? [03:31] you may have to shut down mediatomb while making changes to the config file, but I don't have enough experience with it to know for sure [03:31] I don't know how to moddify the code, I will change the words but I do n ot know how to save the change [03:31] you don't know how to use nano? [03:31] that is the problem right there. [03:32] I do not know how to use nano [03:32] hold down control and hit x [03:32] it will ask if you want to save [03:32] type "y" to save, confirm the file name [03:32] it will save and exit [03:33] file name to write? [03:34] keep it the same as whatever comes up [03:34] don't change it [03:38] it only gives me options for DOS format, mac format, Append, prepend, cancel and backup [03:39] ToZ: thanks ...will boot back to xubu and try again [03:39] uh..oops [03:40] btw, WHERE does the X server get the "-nolisten tcp" argument????? [03:41] tried editing that file in /etc/X11/xinit ...doesn't even get executed [03:41] (added a "echo $PID" > some file in /var .... nothing) [03:44] delt, you mean /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc ? [03:44] yeah [03:44] oh what was that url again? [03:44] (nfs) [03:45] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto/ [03:45] thanks [03:45] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto/ [03:45] too late :P [03:46] delt, see http://askubuntu.com/questions/72812/how-to-disable-nolisten [03:46] thanks again, reading.... [03:48] YEAH, nfs thing solved :D [03:49] Cool [03:49] was missing some apt-get package whcih strangely wasn't included with the distro :? [03:49] which ones? [03:49] apt-get install nfs-common [03:49] I believe that package is optional now. [03:49] would have been f'd if i didn't have internet access from this machine [03:49] or rather, not installed by default [03:50] my recommendation would be to include it with the distribution. [03:50] most people don't use nfs and there is only 700M of space on the install disk ;) [03:50] IIRC, they are trying to keep the size of the distro down, and are removing anything that isn't considered "common" for all users, and since most users don't need (or know what) nfs is.... [03:51] yeah, but nfs-common is like, under a meg [03:52] and it it very useful for those who do know what it is :3 [03:52] yes, there are hundreds of packages that individuals find useful that are "like, under a meg" [03:52] but then you end up with hundreds more megs :) [03:53] we're actually oversized in our image for 12.10 alpha2 by something like 3M, so still trying to shave off more.. [03:53] Bit that's the idea, they know what it is and what they want. I think it'd be cool if testdisk was included, but it isn't because most don't need it. [03:55] just the icons included with xfce are way more than 3 megs [03:58] ok, rebooting this machine... [04:01] AH, now we're talking!!! [05:07] can anyone help me with xubuntu-desktop and vnc4server, specifically the xstartup file? [05:07] depends what the problem is... [05:07] I want to know how command do I add to the ,vnc/xstartup file to start a RESUMABLE xubuntu session or something close to it. [05:07] what (not how) [05:08] This is how my xstartup file is by default: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1074292/ [05:12] should I "startxfce4" or "xfce4-session" or "startxfce4 &" at the last line? [05:12] add? [05:12] I'm guessing you want to start something and leave it running 'till you connect next time? [05:12] yes [05:12] I have a VPS that I want to access gui remotely and the program I am running should not be stopped. [05:12] I think you need to connect to the root desktop for that, let me check [05:12] I will go ahead and add "startxfce4" and see what happens with uncommenting the "unset SESSION_MANAGER" line. [05:12] but I don't know if i should comment the "x-terminal-emulator" and "x-window-manager &" [05:12] they start default apps, set in xdg [05:12] so comment them out if they are not doing what you want [05:13] how about this: http://nuclear-imaging.info/site_content/2012/05/29/starting-a-xfce4-session-on-vnc/ [05:13] you need x11vnc to connect to the root desktop, vnc4server gives you a new session on each connect so it won't be what you want [05:15] it's easier to use ssh and screen to have something continually running [05:15] that's not gui tho [05:16] ok so use x11vnc through ssh client like putty? [05:18] x11vnc doesn't need ssh, ssh can forward X if you set it up to [05:18] screen is a terminal app [05:18] !info screen [05:18] screen (source: screen): terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation. In component main, is optional. Version 4.0.3-14ubuntu8 (precise), package size 582 kB, installed size 1044 kB [05:19] isn't putty a windows app? [05:20] yes it is [05:20] this is what i want. [05:21] I purchased a vps [05:21] i installed ubuntu 12.04 server on it. [05:21] you can use the X Forwarding [05:21] http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/ [05:21] I want to access it with gui to run something graphical on it (use it like a desktop computer) [05:22] a ok [05:22] then vnc :) [05:23] vnc gives a new session for each connection tho [05:26] ok, I just connected through vncviwer but i get a blank screen gray [05:27] prob no background set, does the right click menu come up? [05:28] no this is all i get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1074313/ [05:28] and this is what i have for my xstartup file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1074313/ [05:29] same link twice there [05:29] sorry this is what i get:: http://i.imgur.com/q1wIe.png [05:29] you didn't comment out the x-window-manager bit [05:30] xsetroot -solid grey is why the background is grey [05:32] ok [05:32] any other parts that need ot be commented? [05:32] to [05:33] if you don't want a terminal on the desktop comment the x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & [05:33] because for gnome session, this is what it should look like: http://rbgeek.wordpress.com/2012/06/25/how-to-install-vnc-server-on-ubuntu-server-12-04/ [05:33] and they leave the grey linke uncommented? [05:35] yep they start a gnome session, gnome sets the background which covers the grey background [05:44] I will and reinstall my os. :( and just use gnome-core [05:48] but I managed to get it working. [05:49] I just commented the xsetroot line [05:49] hi [05:50] hi [05:51] vnc4server: you have a xfce desktop over vnc now? [05:51] well done [05:54] yes [05:54] what is the package for java? [05:54] !java [05:54] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [05:58] i just went over to sofware center [05:59] i can't click on the 'install" button for flash player [06:00] i think the software center is not connect to internet [06:00] how do i make it connect to internet? [06:03] I don't use the software center, maybe someone else will have a clue [06:10] vnc4server: the USC is always connected to the internet if you got an internet connection [06:12] I had internet connection since I download the flash player through firefox [06:12] but I can't install or remove anything using the software center [06:14] maybe because I am using virtual servers? the network icon is not showing connected but I have internet, [06:14] so maybe the port is blocked [06:15] try the terminal and sudo apt-get update [06:16] i have done that. [06:17] I installed jdk and others through apt-get command line.

[08:08] in 12.04 [08:09] mucus_, if you change number partition or their size with gparted [08:09] I suggest you to reboot the livecd (or usbkey) before installing [08:09] else you could have boot problems (with grub) [08:10] I had to install two times because of this (don't want to dig in grub parameters to resolve the issue) [08:10] sometimes a twenty minute reinstall is easier [08:11] if you can keep /home [08:13] hm [08:13] this installer is taking for ever === Transfusion is now known as selinuxa [12:15] ok, I got two particions, one with xubuntu the other with windows, need to add grub, any recomended program?

[23:30] no, [23:31] isn't showing anything [23:31] xubuntu211: how did you get xubuntu, did you upgrade to it, or install it from cd?.. has sound worked before, was there an icon before? how did it stop working, has it ever worked? [23:32] .. or you installed something, and sound stopped working? [23:32] i download the iso file, burned and installed [23:33] there wasnt any sound icon there before [23:33] but some minutes ago it was working [23:33] and it is not the first time [23:33] that it happens [23:33] but why not get 12.04 precise? [23:34] i found that i have this one [23:34] my pc is updated [23:37] do you know what is my problem?
