[03:18] <surt> 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] <surt> 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] <Phiscribe> bada bing
[05:11] <Unit193> Did you have a support question?
[05:15] <Phiscribe> no
[08:34] <silverarrow> 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] <Oe_eden> Ive started using lubuntu and love it: clean, mean & fast but I have the same question as these guys:
[09:03] <Oe_eden> http://lubuntu.net/blog/development-1204
[09:03] <Oe_eden> window snap anyone?
[10:27] <smile> hi :)
[10:31] <Oe_eden> hi :)
[11:54] <Oe_eden> and the logo... it isnt very pretty imho
[11:54] <Oe_eden> 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] <smile> :p
[12:08] <smile> ^^
[12:09] <smile> Oe_eden: good luck adapting it to your modern needs ;)
[12:09] <Oe_eden> i have low needs so that wont be a problem :)
[12:10] <Oe_eden> btw does anyone know the reasoning with not bundling vlc as the default mediaplayer?
[12:20] <bob_> hey i have a problem
[12:21] <bob_> i want to dual boot lubuntu
[12:22] <bioterror> then you dual boot :-)
[12:22] <bioterror> what's the problem?
[12:22] <bob_> but windows me is installed
[12:22] <bioterror> oh gawd
[12:22] <bob_> and then i have to drag a line to seperate two partitions
[12:23] <bioterror> Support for Windows Me ended on July 11, 2006
[12:23] <bob_> but i dont know what part is windows and what part is lubuntu
[12:23] <bioterror> why?
[12:24] <bob_> do you know what part is lubuntu (the left part or the right part)?)
[12:25] <bioterror> usually it should tell you which is which
[12:26] <bob_> that is my problem i have already installed ubuntu on my netbook
[12:27] <bob_> and when i did that it did tell me
[12:27] <bob_> but now i install lubuntu it didn tell me
[12:27] <bioterror> probably it just does not understand this windows me
[12:27] <bioterror> as it's more than ancient
[12:28] <bioterror> if you have a real reason to keep quite badly outdated microsoft windows on your computer, then dual boot
[12:28] <bioterror> but I would not hesitate for a moment to just use whole disk
[12:28] <bob_> i have still software that i use a lot on my windows me profile
[12:29] <bob_> 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] <bob_> 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] <bioterror> does it tells you filesystems?
[12:31] <bioterror> like Fat32 or NTFS
[12:31] <bob_> no it doent
[12:31] <bioterror> if you look for examples, mostly the one on the left is current
[12:32] <bob_> ok
[12:33] <bob_> i have to go but thanks a lot
[12:33] <bob_> i will think about earesing my whole hard disk
[12:33] <bob_> and sorry for my bad english
[12:33] <bob_> bye
[12:33] <bioterror> it's not an bad option
[12:33] <bioterror> :-)
[13:14] <zleap> hi
[13:14] <zleap> 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] <holstein> 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] <holstein> zleap: what is it doing? and what would you like it to do?
[13:22] <zleap> when i say unmount a partition or device the whole window closes
[13:22] <zleap> i would expect it to just indicate its unmounted, (arrow symbol appears when mounted)
[13:22] <holstein> zleap: the device is gone, so thats one option that isnt bad
[13:22] <zleap> but should the whole file manager window close
[13:23] <holstein> zleap: lubuntu and LXDE is designed to be light, leaving some "conveniences" out
[13:23] <zleap> ok
[13:23] <holstein> zleap: it doesnt bother me that it closes like that
[13:23] <zleap> ok np i was asking to make sure its meant to do that
[13:23] <holstein> zleap: im sure you can have it revert to /home
[13:23] <zleap> ok
[13:23] <zleap> i will look in the preferences
[13:23] <holstein> zleap: :)
[13:24] <zleap> i have a 2gb ram system,  so its just better than using unity
[18:07] <sasi> hey
[18:08] <sasi> I was doing a dist-upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04
[18:08] <sasi> https://raw.github.com/gist/3208765/487de40902f4462a22fd27e3b3f22a404f02d38e/gistfile1.txt
[18:08] <zleap> ok
[18:08] <sasi> Can anyone please explain the errors..
[18:11] <zleap> 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] <bioterror> sasi, apt-get -f install
[18:12] <bioterror> what would yoda say :D
[18:13] <sasi> what's  -f for?
[18:15] <zleap> fix i think
[18:16] <zleap> man apt
[18:29] <sasi> I just tried dist-upgrade again
[18:29] <sasi> eading package lists... Done

[18:29] <sasi> it won't do anything
[18:29] <sasi> I did an update before
[18:30] <bioterror> then it's there
[18:30] <sasi> no
[18:30] <sasi> lsb_release -a
[18:30] <sasi> No LSB modules are available.
[18:30] <sasi> Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
[18:30] <sasi> Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
[18:31] <bioterror> :D
[18:31] <sasi> it's supposed to be 12.04 no?
[18:31] <bioterror> why you did not use: sudo do-release-upgrade?
[18:31] <sasi> I was not aware of that,, what's the difference?
[18:32] <bioterror> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/do-release-upgrade.8.html
[18:35] <sasi> 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] <sasi> to get ethernet to my modem.
[18:35] <sasi> How I do it automatically?
[18:35] <sasi> with  a GUI.
[18:35] <bioterror> networkmanager should do it automatically if you tell it to use dhcp
[18:36] <bioterror> as it's set by default
[18:38] <sasi> Do I go to "Network connections"?
[18:50] <sasi> Because DHCP is already set in a Wired connection there
[19:06] <mrfre> this is great
[19:06] <mrfre> i cant see my cursor
[19:07] <mrfre> any help? i know its there, the icons react and i can get to taskbars but i cannot see the cursor itself
[19:10] <mrfre> why is it every chat room i get on nobody responds
[19:10] <mrfre> ...
[19:57] <VanKush> hello, please what exactly happens when Lubuntu asks me to file a crash report?
[19:58] <VanKush> 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] <wxl> VanKush: it collects info, searches for dupes, and if it finds none, tries to file a new report on launchpad
[19:59] <wxl> what version?
[19:59] <VanKush> 12.4
[20:00] <wxl> so let me get this straight:
[20:00] <wxl> 1. you start up
[20:00] <wxl> 2. when the desktop is up, you see the dialog
[20:00] <wxl> 3. if you click on report details or whatever it fails to give it to you (what happens exactly?)
[20:01] <wxl> 4. if you let it file the report it asks you for privs
[20:01] <wxl> 5. when you enter the privs it doesn't seem to do anything? what exactly happens again?
[20:02] <VanKush> 2. an onscreen display with cancel/file bug button displays, afaik there is no possibility to review details
[20:02] <wxl> can you get a screenshot of it?
[20:03] <VanKush> 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] <VanKush> ok, let me restart
[20:05] <VanKush> 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] <souliaq> 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] <VanKush> how can I comfortably file the screenshot?
[20:08] <wxl> VanKush: well comfortably i don't know :) but just posting to smoe image host will suffice
[20:08] <VanKush> give me a lead please
[20:09] <wxl> imageshack.us
[20:09] <wxl> souliaq: not ignoring you, just don't know what to tell you
[20:10] <souliaq> 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] <VanKush> wxl: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/88/201207302206501366x768s.png/
[20:12] <VanKush> nothing, just a request and two buttons
[20:12] <wxl> 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] <wxl> and if not, then you may want to try tweaking with xrandr/arandr https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[20:13] <wxl> nice kitty XD
[20:14] <wxl> and if you click on report problem then it asks for privs VanKush ?
[20:14] <VanKush> it's my lady's ideapad
[20:14] <wxl> suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure, excuses, excuses
[20:14] <wxl> ;)
[20:14] <VanKush> yes, a gksu displays. after entering a password, nothing happens
[20:15] <wxl> what is the result of `lsb_release -a` ?
[20:16] <VanKush> No LSB modules are available.
[20:16] <VanKush> Distributor ID: Ubuntu
[20:16] <VanKush> Description:    Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[20:16] <VanKush> Release:        12.04
[20:16] <wxl> well that's good
[20:16] <wxl> i question this because the bug reporting tool changed recently and so that sequence seems old
[20:17] <wxl> have you updated the system recently? if not, you should
[20:18] <wxl> what is the result of `apt-cache policy apport` ??
[20:18] <wxl> should be >2.0.1-0ubuntu5
[20:18] <wxl> if not it needs updated
[20:21] <VanKush> http://pastebin.com/8QXQTjNB
[20:21] <wxl> yeah you have the precise-updates version so that's good
[20:22] <wxl> VanKush: do you have anything in /var/log/apport.log?
[20:22] <wxl> or anything in /var/crash/
[20:24] <VanKush> apport.log.1 is positive with some jul\28 entry
[20:24] <VanKush> apport.log is negative
[20:24] <wxl> hm maybe pastebin .1
[20:25] <VanKush> $ ls /var/crash
[20:25] <VanKush> _usr_bin_blueman-applet.1000.crash
[20:25] <VanKush> _usr_bin_vlc.1000.crash
[20:25] <VanKush> _usr_lib_x86_64-linux-gnu_colord_colord.103.crash
[20:25] <wxl> ah ha, oh ho
[20:26] <wxl> what are the dates on those?
[20:26] <wxl> any rfom today?
[20:26] <VanKush> apport.log.1 relates to the colord
[20:28] <VanKush> 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] <VanKush> i mean, now it is 22.28 in slovakia
[20:29] <VanKush> and like 5 reboots have passed
[20:29]  * wxl grumbles something about bluetooth
[20:30] <VanKush> wut?
[20:30] <wxl> did you blacklist the bluetooth modules? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Guides#Disable_Bluetooth
[20:30] <wxl> oh, bluetooth ALWAYS seems to be a problem.
[20:31] <wxl> …and yes, i realize you said you removed it
[20:31] <VanKush> 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] <VanKush> no longer under KDE, but still in LXDE
[20:32] <wxl> i'd give it a shot (the blacklisting)
[20:32] <wxl> it can't hurt
[20:32] <souliaq> wxl: xrandr/arandr resolve this problem partially, because when I restart, the problem comes again.
[20:33] <wxl> VanKush: you might want to try moving that .crash report
[20:33] <wxl> THAT may be the key!
[20:33] <wxl> …which if it is, will solve a problem i've had
[20:34] <VanKush> wxl: a brilliant cheeze, will try
[20:34] <VanKush> btw, my lady just got offended by your disregard for the kitten on the wallpaper...
[20:35] <wxl> i LIKE the kitty
[20:35] <wxl> ;)
[20:35] <VanKush> yea, I'll try to forward that one
[20:35] <wxl> 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] <wxl> btw souliaq i suggest the latter methodology for what you're doing
[20:36] <VanKush> if she feels offended, I'm the one to take the bullet regardless of the culprit
[20:36] <VanKush> ;]
[20:36] <wxl> oh well, then, by all means, let her think what she wants XD
[20:41] <VanKush> brb reboot
[20:44] <VanKush> wxl: I applied both things and now I don't know which one fixed the issue :(
[20:45] <VanKush> yet it is fine now ofc :)
[20:45] <wxl> aw poo
[20:45] <wxl> well at least you're fixed XD
[20:45] <VanKush> and the bluetooth blacklist also fixed some resource error in Pacman
[20:46] <wxl> ah cool
[20:46] <VanKush> translated to small words, thank you :)
[20:46] <wxl> no problem
[20:46] <wxl> you fixed, too, souliaq ?
[20:47] <wxl> cuz my tummy's rumbling and i think i'm going to grab a snack
[20:48] <VanKush> g'nite & keep up the good work
[20:49] <wxl> thx VanKush take care
[20:49] <wxl> pet the kitty for me XD
[20:55] <souliaq> I going to resolve this with that, but is in fact a lxde problem, that must be solved.
[20:55] <souliaq> thanks.
