=== CTtechguy_ is now known as CTtechguy [03:18] Hello! I have installed Thunar to manage my files, when I try to mount drives and devices it asks for the root password with the command: "Authentication is required to mount the device". [03:18] My parter uses my PC while I'm away and she doesn't know my password, so I can this be fixed at all? [05:10] bada bing [05:11] Did you have a support question? [05:15] no [08:34] does swap kick in automatically when needed, or does it have to be activated some how, flag set in partition manager or somthing? [09:03] Ive started using lubuntu and love it: clean, mean & fast but I have the same question as these guys: [09:03] http://lubuntu.net/blog/development-1204 [09:03] window snap anyone? [10:27] hi :) [10:31] hi :) [11:54] and the logo... it isnt very pretty imho [11:54] this is funny though :) http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXDE:Questions#What_is_the_LXDE_logo_supposed_to_be.3F_An_evil_sorcerer.27s_hand.3F [12:08] :p [12:08] ^^ [12:09] Oe_eden: good luck adapting it to your modern needs ;) [12:09] i have low needs so that wont be a problem :) [12:10] btw does anyone know the reasoning with not bundling vlc as the default mediaplayer? [12:20] hey i have a problem [12:21] i want to dual boot lubuntu [12:22] then you dual boot :-) [12:22] what's the problem? [12:22] but windows me is installed [12:22] oh gawd [12:22] and then i have to drag a line to seperate two partitions [12:23] Support for Windows Me ended on July 11, 2006 [12:23] but i dont know what part is windows and what part is lubuntu [12:23] why? [12:24] do you know what part is lubuntu (the left part or the right part)?) [12:25] usually it should tell you which is which [12:26] that is my problem i have already installed ubuntu on my netbook [12:27] and when i did that it did tell me [12:27] but now i install lubuntu it didn tell me [12:27] probably it just does not understand this windows me [12:27] as it's more than ancient [12:28] if you have a real reason to keep quite badly outdated microsoft windows on your computer, then dual boot [12:28] but I would not hesitate for a moment to just use whole disk [12:28] i have still software that i use a lot on my windows me profile [12:29] if i drag the line as far as i can to the left the left part is 12,3 gb and the right part is 28.6 gb [12:30] if i drag the line to the right as far as i can then the left part is 36,4 gb and the right part 4.4 gb [12:31] does it tells you filesystems? [12:31] like Fat32 or NTFS [12:31] no it doent [12:31] if you look for examples, mostly the one on the left is current [12:32] ok [12:33] i have to go but thanks a lot [12:33] i will think about earesing my whole hard disk [12:33] and sorry for my bad english [12:33] bye [12:33] it's not an bad option [12:33] :-) [13:14] hi [13:14] if you open file manger in 11.10 and then unmount a mounted device does it close the whole window ? and should it [13:20] not sure about lubuntu 11.10, but i have seen different behavior from differnt OS's ..sometimes, i see an error message about the resource being busy or missing [13:20] zleap: what is it doing? and what would you like it to do? [13:22] when i say unmount a partition or device the whole window closes [13:22] i would expect it to just indicate its unmounted, (arrow symbol appears when mounted) [13:22] zleap: the device is gone, so thats one option that isnt bad [13:22] but should the whole file manager window close [13:23] zleap: lubuntu and LXDE is designed to be light, leaving some "conveniences" out [13:23] ok [13:23] zleap: it doesnt bother me that it closes like that [13:23] ok np i was asking to make sure its meant to do that [13:23] zleap: im sure you can have it revert to /home [13:23] ok [13:23] i will look in the preferences [13:23] zleap: :) [13:24] i have a 2gb ram system, so its just better than using unity === ArthurNumbanumba is now known as Artys_afk [18:07] hey [18:08] I was doing a dist-upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 [18:08] https://raw.github.com/gist/3208765/487de40902f4462a22fd27e3b3f22a404f02d38e/gistfile1.txt [18:08] ok [18:08] Can anyone please explain the errors.. [18:11] not sure is there anything here that can help http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/apt-get-sub-process-usr-bin-dpkg-returned-an-error-code-944303/ [18:12] sasi, apt-get -f install [18:12] what would yoda say :D [18:13] what's -f for? [18:15] fix i think [18:16] man apt [18:29] I just tried dist-upgrade again [18:29] eading package lists... Done [18:29] Building dependency tree [18:29] Reading state information... Done [18:29] Calculating upgrade... Done [18:29] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [18:29] it won't do anything [18:29] I did an update before [18:30] then it's there [18:30] no [18:30] lsb_release -a [18:30] No LSB modules are available. [18:30] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [18:30] Description: Ubuntu 11.10 [18:31] :D [18:31] it's supposed to be 12.04 no? [18:31] why you did not use: sudo do-release-upgrade? [18:31] I was not aware of that,, what's the difference? [18:32] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/do-release-upgrade.8.html [18:35] btw I'm having to do sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up && route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0 [18:35] to get ethernet to my modem. [18:35] How I do it automatically? [18:35] with a GUI. [18:35] networkmanager should do it automatically if you tell it to use dhcp [18:36] as it's set by default [18:38] Do I go to "Network connections"? [18:50] Because DHCP is already set in a Wired connection there [19:06] this is great [19:06] i cant see my cursor [19:07] any help? i know its there, the icons react and i can get to taskbars but i cannot see the cursor itself [19:10] why is it every chat room i get on nobody responds [19:10] ... === LordOfTime is now known as Guest41633 [19:57] hello, please what exactly happens when Lubuntu asks me to file a crash report? [19:58] I cannot access the report content somehow and it fails to obtain privileges from gksu, and thus I somehow get the same request to file a crash report anytime I start LXDE [19:58] VanKush: it collects info, searches for dupes, and if it finds none, tries to file a new report on launchpad [19:59] what version? [19:59] 12.4 [20:00] so let me get this straight: [20:00] 1. you start up [20:00] 2. when the desktop is up, you see the dialog [20:00] 3. if you click on report details or whatever it fails to give it to you (what happens exactly?) [20:01] 4. if you let it file the report it asks you for privs [20:01] 5. when you enter the privs it doesn't seem to do anything? what exactly happens again? [20:02] 2. an onscreen display with cancel/file bug button displays, afaik there is no possibility to review details [20:02] can you get a screenshot of it? [20:03] 4. gksu dialog opens, blacking out the rest of screen. I enter my pwd and the screen flickers half a second (probably some irrelevant xorg issue) and then nothing else opens [20:04] ok, let me restart [20:05] the bug in merit is probably a nonextant bluetooth hardware and a failure of bluemon applet, which has been removed and purged already. The bug call is quite likely a tens of reboots old [20:05] Lubuntu 12.04 32 bits: When I change the resolution in "monitor settings" (to a lower resolution), this changes well, but When a window is maximized, this keep the "layout" of a bigger resolution. It means a big part of window is outside of the visible area. Restart is not working. [20:07] how can I comfortably file the screenshot? [20:08] VanKush: well comfortably i don't know :) but just posting to smoe image host will suffice [20:08] give me a lead please [20:09] imageshack.us [20:09] souliaq: not ignoring you, just don't know what to tell you [20:10] ok, in google I can't find the same problem, but I tested this in two real computers and multiple VM, the problem always are the same. [20:12] wxl: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/88/201207302206501366x768s.png/ [20:12] nothing, just a request and two buttons [20:12] ok souliaq see if this helps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Workarounds#Screen_resolution_is_wrong.2C_no_matter_what_I_do [20:13] and if not, then you may want to try tweaking with xrandr/arandr https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [20:13] nice kitty XD [20:14] and if you click on report problem then it asks for privs VanKush ? [20:14] it's my lady's ideapad [20:14] suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure, excuses, excuses [20:14] ;) [20:14] yes, a gksu displays. after entering a password, nothing happens [20:15] what is the result of `lsb_release -a` ? [20:16] No LSB modules are available. [20:16] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [20:16] Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [20:16] Release: 12.04 [20:16] well that's good [20:16] i question this because the bug reporting tool changed recently and so that sequence seems old [20:17] have you updated the system recently? if not, you should [20:18] what is the result of `apt-cache policy apport` ?? [20:18] should be >2.0.1-0ubuntu5 [20:18] if not it needs updated [20:21] http://pastebin.com/8QXQTjNB [20:21] yeah you have the precise-updates version so that's good [20:22] VanKush: do you have anything in /var/log/apport.log? [20:22] or anything in /var/crash/ [20:24] apport.log.1 is positive with some jul\28 entry [20:24] apport.log is negative [20:24] hm maybe pastebin .1 [20:25] $ ls /var/crash [20:25] _usr_bin_blueman-applet.1000.crash [20:25] _usr_bin_vlc.1000.crash [20:25] _usr_lib_x86_64-linux-gnu_colord_colord.103.crash [20:25] ah ha, oh ho [20:26] what are the dates on those? [20:26] any rfom today? [20:26] apport.log.1 relates to the colord [20:28] yea, the blueman I mentioned. at 19.55 the log was created. I removed blueman an reconfigured initrd, and cancelled the bug report from KDE, where it has not popped out since [20:28] i mean, now it is 22.28 in slovakia [20:29] and like 5 reboots have passed [20:29] * wxl grumbles something about bluetooth [20:30] wut? [20:30] did you blacklist the bluetooth modules? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#Disable_Bluetooth [20:30] oh, bluetooth ALWAYS seems to be a problem. [20:31] …and yes, i realize you said you removed it [20:31] I have removed it from initrd, and uninstalled the app. There is no more crashing, but it attempts to file the bug all again [20:32] no longer under KDE, but still in LXDE [20:32] i'd give it a shot (the blacklisting) [20:32] it can't hurt [20:32] wxl: xrandr/arandr resolve this problem partially, because when I restart, the problem comes again. [20:33] VanKush: you might want to try moving that .crash report [20:33] THAT may be the key! [20:33] …which if it is, will solve a problem i've had [20:34] wxl: a brilliant cheeze, will try [20:34] btw, my lady just got offended by your disregard for the kitten on the wallpaper... [20:35] i LIKE the kitty [20:35] ;) [20:35] yea, I'll try to forward that one [20:35] souliaq: not having used either before i'm not sure if they're permanent or not. assuming they're not, you can make them autostart https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#How_I_can_autostart_a_program_when_logging_into_Desktop [20:35] btw souliaq i suggest the latter methodology for what you're doing [20:36] if she feels offended, I'm the one to take the bullet regardless of the culprit [20:36] ;] [20:36] oh well, then, by all means, let her think what she wants XD [20:41] brb reboot [20:44] wxl: I applied both things and now I don't know which one fixed the issue :( [20:45] yet it is fine now ofc :) [20:45] aw poo [20:45] well at least you're fixed XD [20:45] and the bluetooth blacklist also fixed some resource error in Pacman [20:46] ah cool [20:46] translated to small words, thank you :) [20:46] no problem [20:46] you fixed, too, souliaq ? [20:47] cuz my tummy's rumbling and i think i'm going to grab a snack [20:48] g'nite & keep up the good work [20:49] thx VanKush take care [20:49] pet the kitty for me XD [20:55] I going to resolve this with that, but is in fact a lxde problem, that must be solved. [20:55] thanks.
