[00:36] I see Xubuntu 12.10 will no longer have an alternate CD release: Is it going to have the same unified installer as Ubuntu (LVM and FDE as options)? [00:37] Xubuntu has been using Ubiquity, so that'd be good. Otherwise, you can use the !mini and install xubuntu-desktop in 12.10. [00:39] mhm... doesn't sound too bad. [00:40] We'll see how Ubiquity is in creating complex LVM/RAID/FDE configurations like debian-installer could. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:36] If I download a pre-release of 12.10 now, will it run the same later [with updates] as if I waited until the October release? [01:37] no [01:37] its a beta, stuff might be broken [01:37] in fact, stuff is broken === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [03:07] Can anyone tekk me how to connect wirelessly using 64WEP KEY?

It only comes sometimes in specific windows, and not just wine, but any software. Sometimes some icons on the desktop [07:55] does it sound like a software problem? [09:03] topic should start with something like "no answers? please idle here" [09:04] if you have a question, then ask it Mathias [09:05] i don't but i saw ronin's question [09:08] normally you don't put such things in the topic [09:08] because it's usually the same everywhere [09:11] topic, what topic? [09:11] /topic [09:12] like anybody reads topic [09:12] part of which reads: No one around? See the complete support methods list at http://xubuntu.org/help [09:12] Marzata, ^ [09:19] is there a way to install xubuntu fully encrypted using the xts-plain cipher? the alternate install cd's kernel doesn't seem to support it. [09:19] will the live cd installer be able to open the disk? [09:23] hi. thanks tons to xubuntu, i got fglrx for my dell vostro 3450. but outlook in a vm is gentle on the eyes compared to thunderbird (even with theme & font sizer addon). does anyone have good suggestions for me to try [09:25] longwuyuan: you might try evolution, ubuntus default client [09:25] or claws-mail (although you probably won't like it if you want outlook-style) [09:28] nothing to do with style. am having to deal with at least 300-400 emails everyday. so need more real-estate quality on 14" laptop screen [09:29] the windows drivers in a vm seem to be able to render outlook more efficiently in a 1280x800 resolution of the vm [09:30] native 1366x#### resolution on xubuntu is gret in xterm but painful on thunderbird [09:31] i placed both windows one below another and compared real-estate. thunderbird fonts are less crisp :-( and anyone can guess how that feels having to use outlook [09:32] change antialiasing settings in settings -> appearance === Pici` is now known as Pici === mips1911 is now known as mips [12:22] hello [12:24] why i install vmware workstation and after reboot my system has crashed... and cant load fro read logs... === ikonia_ is now known as ikonia === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang === bipolar_ is now known as bipolar === baizon_ is now known as baizon === ponbiki is now known as Guest56876 === Azelphur_ is now known as Azelphur [16:15] I just installed nautilus in xubuntu 12.04 and wish to change some advanced settings. I installed gconf-editor, but there is no nautilus node in there. Any suggestions? [16:16] martian: check dconf [16:18] Pici: ahh, moved to xubuntu, or just idling in both channels? [16:19] check it in what sense? it was not installed either, so upon installing it I should... [16:19] hm. [16:19] I was under the impression that stuff was being moved from gconf to dconf. [16:19] ahh, dconf-editor :) [16:20] Thanks! === SeH[Connect] is now known as SeH [17:55] Hi guys. Would someone help me in tet-a-tet chat? WinXP + Xubuntu, formatted xubuntu partitions, and now grub not working [17:56] DenSeaCaT, explain further [17:56] do you still have xubuntu installed? how do you formated? why you need grub if there is no xubuntu (in that case)? [17:58] Ok. 1 Hdd. 2 NTFS partition(C with WInXP \ and Dwith files ) , and 3 linux partitions, ext3 / , ext3 /home , swap [17:58] formatted all ext 3 and swap [17:58] and now my Winxp cant boot [18:00] thats something to expect, you delete the /boot area that grub uses [18:00] I want: WinXP, barter partiton(D) for files, and xubuntu PROPERLY installed [18:00] I have 2 USB sticks with latest backtrak linux and xubuntu. [18:01] What should I do now? [18:01] you need a live cd, boot from it, edit your partitions using gparted, if wanted install xubuntu, else install boot-repair from its ppa and use it to create a new grub install [18:01] Sorry, noob in linux, cant understand [18:02] I'm now running live usb xubuntu on this notebook. [18:02] open gparted and edit the partitions you want to the way you want them to be [18:02] can someone guide me step-by-step in PM please? [18:02] its like using partition magic [18:02] Ok, sec [18:05] Opened gparted. another question. when i've formatted linux partitions, and re-created them, i've installed xubuntu. but it didn't booted. I've broke somthing or what? [18:07] just black screen appears, and says: unknown file system, grub rescue [18:08] Is it means that grub installed on C drive? [18:09] grub should be installed on the disk itself, not any particular partition [18:09] DenSeaCaT, :) wait a moment [18:09] DenSeaCaT, grub is a boot loader that installs itself and depends on grub config files that are at /boot, you formated the drive that had /boot on it [18:09] so grub cant know whats going on [18:10] you need to a) choose where to place grub b) make such place c) install grub [18:10] you need to stop using the word "drive" when you mean "partition" ;) [18:10] tsimpson, it means, that grub installs himself not to one of partitions e.g. c/d/e, but on hided sector of hdd? [18:10] tsimpson, good call [18:11] DenSeaCaT: yes, it should be on the physical hard drive, rather than one of the partitions on that hard drive [18:11] wait. Drive - means HDD, right? And partitions means some sector on it? [18:12] windows like to pretend that partitions and hard-drive-disks are the same thing [18:12] DenSeaCaT, c/d/e are windows names, you need the /dev/paths to them on grub or even the hd(0,0) nubers [18:12] when you partition your HDD in windows, it shows those as different "drives" with letters [18:13] C/D/E in windows are sdb/sdc/sde in linux? [18:13] no [18:13] no, they can be, but usually not [18:13] it depends [18:14] windows does not distinguish between a physical HDD and partitions on a HDD [18:14] DenSeaCaT: all you needed was empty space and the installer could've done it [18:14] Russians O_o? [18:15] at large :P [18:15] Private please? [18:15] uh i'm not really here- sorry! :S [18:15] What it means? [18:16] no time, if you wanted to see about the issue, gotta leave the house any minute [18:17] Oh. k. So. Wht i should do to fix all stuff, that i've broke?(format all HDD,install WinXP and forget about linux is not an option:) ) [18:18] DenSeaCaT, you can install xubuntu again [18:18] that will fix grubn [18:18] already installed, but wont boot [18:18] or you can install grub-repair and make it install it again [18:18] !boot-repair [18:18] mmm [18:18] I can google that) [18:19] "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" usually, assuming your disk is called /dev/sda [18:19] boot on a live cd and install this: https://launchpad.net/~yannubuntu/+archive/boot-repair [18:19] then run sudo boot-repair, fix the boot area, reboot, be happy [18:20] Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device. [18:21] I'm running live usb xubuntu right now, on this notebook that i've broke [18:21] well, thats because you formated it [18:21] But i've reinstalled xubuntu? [18:21] apparently you didnt [18:23] http://i008.radikal.ru/1209/ac/61e184b6b147.png [18:24] xubuntu on sda7 [18:26] sudo apt-get install grub-repair won't work [18:29] no [18:30] DenSeaCaT, did you add the ppa? [18:30] what's the deal with 12.04.1 not automounting usb drives? is there a quick fix for this? [18:32] is there a quick way to switch between windows and xubuntu? rebooting takes too long time :P [18:32] virtualbox? [18:33] virtual machines are a bit slower, but they don't take as much time as rebooting [18:33] GridCube yes [18:33] daxis: playing games in VM's sucks :P [18:34] terminal says E: Unable to locate package grub-repair [18:34] DenSeaCaT, :( well i dont know then [18:34] !grub [18:34] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [18:34] see the restore grub tutorial DenSeaCaT [18:35] Mathis: get two computers and a kvm. one mouse, one keyboard, one monitor (or two), two computers [18:35] perfect solution :P [18:36] daxis: that would kind of work [18:36] Mathias: what are you needing to do? [18:36] it would though be kind of unpractical to take a screen, a keyboard, a mouse, a kvm switch, two laptops and a generator everywhere :P [18:37] oh i was thinking of desktops [18:37] nvm then [18:37] hmmm [18:37] playing world of tanks in wine doesn't go so well :P, and i don't like any media players in windoze :P [18:37] and i switch a lot [18:38] well if you do gaming on windows, why not run linux in the vm? [18:38] i actually haven't tried playing 1080p in xubuntu in a vm [18:39] that could be tomorrows project :P [18:39] sounds like a plan! [18:39] :P [18:39] well i've got class... i guess i'll be back later [18:40] 13:40? :o [18:40] i've did sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda1 and on sda2 , but it says Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device. [18:40] you got it [18:40] 8 hours behind me :S [18:40] central time [18:41] later all [18:45] Wow, looks like it works [18:46] hmm. brb. [18:49] Worked. thanks guys) [18:50] Now i know, how matter usb stick with live xubuntu installed on it :D [18:54] I have some questons. what better for slow notebook(1ggz cpu/ 1gb ram, integrated videocard) xfce/lxde/ or something? because my noebook is SO slow. i want more speed [18:56] lubuntu might be a better option [18:57] After attempting to set some keyboard options, I get an error message everytime I start a terminal: "Illegal map name '(+v)+' in symbols name 'pc+us(+v)+inet(evdev)+compose(ralt)'" Any ideas on how to fix? I've purged xfce4-xkb-plugin already, set xfce4-keyboard-settings to let X manage the keyboard. [18:57] I'm out of ideas. [18:59] I've tried to install it today, but it wont work. installer just showed me bunch of errors [19:00] failed to run partition manager blah blah blah, failed to run something else, blah blah. so i decided to install xubuntu [19:02] Mathias is there any other way to replace my xfce to lxde enviroment? [19:02] don't know, i'm not an expert :P [19:02] tht's sad [19:02] ask me next year :P [19:02] at next year hope i'll gonna know it by myself ;0 [19:12] What name of xubuntu default network manager? ANd can I replace him with Wicd network manager? === billy_idle is now known as march [19:55] I downloaded the 12.10 alpha3 iso and installed it on a USB disk using usb-creator-gtk. I told it to install the bootloader but when I try and boot a laptop from the usb drive, the laptop shows "This is not a boot disk....Remove the disk and reboot." Is there something special that needs to be done to make the 12.10 iso functional? [20:37] blizzow, shouldn't be anything special comparing to the other releases. [22:42] i have a computer [22:42] congratulations [22:42] thank you [22:43] my mom put a few games on there [22:44] right... [22:45] Left... [22:45] middle [23:10] \q
