[06:51] put the boot loader on the hdd probably [06:53] the boot loader of my bios or of my xubuntu? [06:56] my bios is ok. hd 1st option. how can i manage xubuntu's boot loader? [07:02] any idea? why my xubuntu needs flash plug on the system to boot up? [07:15] any idea? why my xubuntu needs flash plug on the system to boot up? [07:55] got 2 xubuntu pcs, want to connect via vnc from one to the other one , like I have before to the same computer before I reinstalled, have set a static ip in the second computer, but can't connect via vnc viewer. I can ssh in though, can someone help please [07:55] hi guys, I have installed xubuntu over a ubuntu 12.04 installation... I don't want to keep gnome nor unity, should I reinstall xubuntu directly or can I just purge the other desktop environments? [07:56] you can uninstall [07:57] this wont leave too many unused packages? [07:57] sudo apt-get remove %packagename% && sudo apt-get autoremove [07:57] it would be easier to just reinstall [07:57] !purexfce | wcapio [07:57] wcapio: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » [07:57] unless you have a lot of backups to deal with [07:58] there you go [07:58] I have just spent a week making backups :) [07:59] I am just not a system guru, yet I am not sure I know how to keep the configs of my system (with venvs, python, apache, postgres,...) [08:01] -yet [08:02] wcapio: they're usually in your home directory and in /etc/ [08:02] I ll try to purge, if I feel it is insufficient, I'll reinstall. meanwhile I have to learn more about nix file structure... [08:02] thanks ubottu, xkill, Mathias [08:03] ubottu is a bot ;) [08:03] Mathias: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:05] :D [08:05] hilarious [08:05] thanks Unit193 [08:05] Sure thing. [08:06] Hello Guys, i do have a small problem installing xubuntu. when i start the live cd, i can see and mount my nfts partitions. i want to dualboot windows and xubuntu by the way ;) but when i start the installer and select the language, i choose to do something different with the harddrive, but then it shows the harddrive as empty :/ anyone got an idea? [08:06] sorry to repost, got disconnected got 2 xubuntu pcs, want to connect via vnc from one to the other one , like I have before to the same computer before I reinstalled, have set a static ip in the second computer, but can't connect via vnc viewer. I can ssh in though, can someone help please === pAt_ is now known as Guest9942 [08:07] dropdead_ whats the problem exactly? [08:09] the partitioner reports the drive as "unallocated"? [08:09] so the exact problem in my oppinion would be , that xubuntu is able to mount and find the ntfs partitions, but the installer is not able to read the partition table, beacuse it says in the installer my whole hard drive (640GB) would be empty [08:09] DropDead_: Did you try the alternate installer? [08:09] and yes it shows it as "free disk space" [08:10] homebrewcider: You have a VNC server running, I'd guess? sudo netstat -lp to see what port and what address it binds to. [08:10] No i haven't tried that so far, do i need a special iso for that? what does alternate mean? different drivers? command line installation? [08:11] !alternate [08:11] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [08:12] okay thanks a lot :) then i will have a look and try to install that one, i will be back in some minutes if it wasn't working, thanks a lot unit193, xkill ;) [08:13] Sure thing. [08:20] seems I have another problem trying to updatewww.hotmail.com [08:20] wrng pc never mid [08:29] i ran netstat-lp like you said but do not see vnc mentioned === Unit193 is now known as TheMaster === Guest9942 is now known as pAt__ [09:46] I am Back :D So i now have tried the alternate install cd, but it says while installing that there would be no kernel-modules available, and i was not even able to choose where to install the system to, is that normal? [10:59] Hello Guys, can anyone help me out if my notebook in gparted says that there are signatures of the gpt partition table on my harddrive? i am using windows on it, so there must be a way to remove the gpt signatures [11:25] Hi all, I have a very quick question, I have custom resolution settings that work for my monitor that I can enable using Terminal [11:25] but I would like to enable this by default when Xubuntu loads [11:26] I've struggled to find a working step by step online and would very much appreciate help on this [12:38] i want to disable my trackpad while typing. it seems i need to get the trackpad recognised as a trackpad, but xinput lists it as a mouse. how can i get it recognised correctly? [12:38] basically i have this setup: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11141211&postcount=1 [12:38] i.e. my trackpad is treated as a psmouse, but this isn't what i want... [12:41] frappy: have you tried disabling it anyhow? (with xinput) [12:42] harj0: not with xinput... i'll try that now and see what happens [12:43] xinput set-prop yourID "Device Enabled" 0 [12:43] ,nbc]\ [12:43] ok, so the trackpad isn't working now [12:43] cool [12:44] how can i get that to happen automatically while i'm typing? :) [12:44] took me a while to figure that one out and disable mine correctly [12:44] yeah the man page wasn't helpful [12:44] you can set up a script to toggle it and then make it a hotkey [12:44] harj0: hm [12:45] the problem is that i want it to kick in *every* time i type [12:45] i just keep mine off at all times [12:45] hah [12:45] well, i like to click on things now and again [12:45] too easy for my palm to brush it [12:45] frappy: thats what mice are for [12:45] harj0: aye, but not on my tiny laptop [12:45] specifically wireless mice :p [12:46] i can also disable the thing with modprobe -r :-) [13:54] salve [13:54] mi servre un aiuto, posso? [13:54] i need an help.. [13:54] Ask away [13:55] im tryin live xubuntu bootable from usb.. at startap system ask me for user&pass.. but i have not user and pass.. [13:55] what i should doing? [13:55] tnx [13:56] It should boot right to xfce desktop, but I think user is xubuntu and no password [13:56] im trying now.. tnx [13:57] Your boot media might be corrupted if it doesn´t boot to xfce desktop, unless you are using alternate cd [13:58] how did you make the usb bootable? [14:04] if I put a password, the system tells me that is incorrect, if I did not insert, the system returns to the screen that says stopping system v runlevel compatibily-ok, and then return to login [14:04] unetbootin [14:04] (sysi) [14:05] torax, i download the distro from xubuntu site.. [14:09] tnx to all. :/ bye bye [14:59] wanted to try xubuntu alongside kde. what is the minimal pkg name to get a minimal xfce4 session? [15:03] ??? [16:04] hi guys, can someone help me how can i change the shortcut for switching key layout ? [16:05] currently i have to press alt+shift to change it [16:05] i'd like to use ctrl+shift [16:06] go to >(mouselogo)>configuration>Configuration Administration>Keyboard>>[keyboard shortcuts tab] [16:07] em... i don't see ">configuration>Configuration Administration" in the Main menu [16:08] s/configuration/settings [16:08] yeah.. translations [16:08] wait [16:08] didn't get it. do i have to open standard XFCE Settings ? [16:08] Settings Manager ? [16:09] mmhm yes, and go the the keyboard sub-menu [16:09] ok... i'm in [16:10] i can setup input delays and etc... there's Layout tab, but how can i setup toggle mech in ? [16:10] i have two layouts, but there's no option to setup a switching shortcut [16:11] the second that is keyboard shortcuts [16:11] mmm [16:11] maybe you need to find out where it is defined? [16:11] it would be an option [16:11] i have alt+shift for current, but i wanna change it to ctrl+shift [16:12] xatrix_: You can add the 'Keyboard Layouts' plugin to the panel and set everything up from there. [16:12] something like it was "grp:ctrl+shift+toggle" in XKBOptions before [16:12] pcroque, just 10 mins on Xubuntu, so i'm not familliar with it [16:13] xatrix_: right click on the panel. Select Panel-->Add new Items. Select keyboard indicator from the list of plugins. [16:15] right, i did it [16:15] thanks guys... [16:52] When I close my laptop lid, about 1/4 of the time rather than suspending, it just flashes the 'suspending' LED and logs me out. Does anyone know how I can investigate this issue? [16:53] It's very annoying - it has the potential to ruin work I haven't saved (though I'm paranoid about this and tend to save often) [16:54] this only happens with xubuntu - not ubuntu [16:56] actually most likely X is crashing instead of me being logged out [16:56] ahhaha: http://www.alanmacdougall.com/blog/2012/09/01/fixing-thinkpad-t520i-xorg-crash-in-xubuntu-12-dot-04/ [16:56] exactly my problem [17:00] thank you everyone, thank you. I appreciate your enjoyment of my performance :). I also do weddings. [18:38] Hi please I just finish installing xubuntu; and i want to add eclipse shortcut to the panel thanks for helping me [18:43] evo7, you have it installed? [18:44] after installing eclipse you can drag it from menu to panel [18:44] find its entry on the Applications Menu, then Drag and Drop it to the place you want it to be [18:44] hi; i have download it from eclipse.org [18:44] ho to install it ? [18:44] oh, i dont know [18:44] !info eclipse [18:44] eclipse (source: eclipse): Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.7.2-1 (precise), package size 16 kB, installed size 121 kB [18:45] you can install it from the Ubuntu Software Centre [18:45] but it's not the latest one who i want [18:46] I need the eclipse EE [18:47] then follow the instruction from where you downloaded it :) [18:47] Possibly a dumb question: is the amount by which the volume changes when I press the volume +/- keys changeable through any reasonable means? I'm guessing not, but it annoys me that it gets drastically louder with a single press. [18:48] evo7: http://askubuntu.com/questions/26632/how-to-install-eclipse [18:49] thanks [18:49] it's useful :) [18:50] kinda big downside is that you can't remove or update it with package manager [18:50] there might be others too [18:52] vorsorken: Settings Editor>xfce-mixer...default is 5, change it to what you want. [18:57] how do I save only .jpg files from a page? [18:57] and from several pages? [18:57] wow, after looking around through config files, it turns out there's a GUI for changing things like that [18:58] thanks drc [18:58] vorsorken: np [18:58] martinphone, man wget [18:59] martinphone, also ask on #bash, but before do read the manpage or they might go nuts on you [19:00] * GridCube knows how crazy can #bash people be to people who doesnt read man pages [19:06] would this example work? wget -nd http://www.cracked.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/zorklon{1,2,3,4,5}.jpg [19:07] cannot be [19:08] use wget http://www.cracked.com/blogimages/2009/12/zorklon1.jpg http://www.cracked.com/blogimages/2009/12/zorklon2.jpg [23:59] evga upgraded my 3 year old 9800gtx RMA with a $125 550ti. That's pretty awesome =0
