[17:16] I know what I want, but not able to know how to do it correctly [17:16] boot with ubuntu cd, pick particion, select "check" [17:17] on gparted [17:19] Still installing :\ [17:37] Anyone (in the US) able to verify their cable subscription and register for the Olympics Live @ http://www.nbcolympics.com/ ? [17:38] what that does have to do with xubuntu? [17:39] yeah, that's pretty far off-topic ;) [17:39] Because I can do it with Salix but not U/Xubuntu [17:40] ah [17:40] tried with firefox or opera? [17:41] it you want I can take this to OT [17:41] Tried with FF Chromium and midori [17:42] what happens is I can go thru the process but then insread of going to a "Your ready to watch" [17:42] screen, I goes back to the "start the process" screen [17:42] er...You're, sheesh :( [17:43] try with opera [17:43] Don;t lioke opera [17:43] if opera does not work, then it does not work under linux [17:43] blackgatonegro: It work under linux...Works fine with Salix [17:44] ok [17:44] maybe xubuntu is missing some libraries [17:44] Opera works on Xubuntu, if that's the question. [17:45] blackgatonegro: It also doesn't work with SolusOS and Ubuntu...I was wondering if it was a Debain thing? [19:30] I'm trying to install Xbuntu but the installation stops in the middle ANd I have the message : "The Installer has encountered... A desktop session will be open to investigate the problem." And it goes to the liveCD version. What Should I do now? [19:53] xubuntu692: what is the part of the message that you replaced by three dots? === c_smith_ is now known as c_smith [20:12] hey fellas and dames. [20:12] hi@all [20:12] hi there [20:12] hey, my xubuntu system only works through the guest account. can I somehow gain root from the guest interface? tried su but apparently i'm not allowed to do anything even when I supply the correct password. [20:13] boot of a usb device and edit the relevant user /group files? [20:13] When I click on a panel icon to minimize I can't click to restore right away. I have to focus another window, then click the panel icon to restore. This is completely maddening. [20:14] no usb device anywhere. [20:14] caytchen, really? what kind of hw [20:14] well sure the thing has USB but I don't have a suitable stick to do that :o [20:15] cdrom/dvd/blueray will do to [20:15] can't i just boot directly into a shell without the X stuff? [20:15] emergency shell yes [20:15] how would that work? [20:15] press shift while booting [20:15] thanks, I will try that [20:15] grub should show up and you can select emergency da di da da [20:19] anyone know how to get panel icons to act right? [20:20] hmm define "right" :-) [20:22] if you have installed a regular ubuntu and then added xubuntu - it is not the same as installing xubuntu [20:22] I realized that today [20:22] am on a freshly installed xubuntu [20:22] fantastic system compared to the general suckyness of gnome-shell and unity in particular [20:24] I install xubuntu, and after that LXDE and xmonad. [20:25] interesting, I never thought that would be an issue [20:25] yah I despise unity. such a waste of screen for one thing [20:27] I despise it due the the utter crap it is handling multiple monitors [20:27] do you run compiz? [20:27] why does the launch bar HAVE to be on the right most monitor .. [20:27] yeah compiz [20:28] believe on a default xubuntu install it is std [20:28] to run with a composite manager [20:28] I want to do a fresh install, but I don't want to reconfigure... :\ [20:28] backup home/etc? [20:28] nuke your system and copy files back [20:29] that's an idea [20:29] I did that today [20:29] 1½ to 2 hours [20:29] to much hacking and too many upgrades of the old system [20:30] still have to reinstall all packages, though... [20:30] you can do a dump of what you have installed and use it for reinstall [20:31] using synaptic? [20:31] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366 [20:31] pretty simple [20:32] you may be able to with synaptic also [20:32] but I would not know the correct procedure for that [20:33] it's tempting. I'm a sucker for a fresh install. [20:35] I usually keep important data "in the cloud" so reinstalling a pc is trivial [20:35] ubuntu one is your friend [20:37] this dpkg > file is supa clever :D [20:37] thanks, cheers [20:41] very handy- yes === leon is now known as Guest85980 [21:25] hello, anyone knows a exposé program that i can use on xubuntu,(compiz fails to redraw and keeps showing when is resizing the windows) that i can use with my middle click? [21:41] why is everyone so chatty? [21:44] hey, do you know if there is a global menu for xfce, i'm trying it but without it i feel somehow lost [21:53] Ruby_Pinch, uppermost left corner ?
