| David-A | Krasus: 1G or 0.5G swap is fine, some people settle with no swap at all, but i think some swap is good to have on a desktop system | 00:01 |
| Krasus | torax, do u know about my parttition problem ? | 00:01 |
| Krasus | thx David-A | 00:01 |
| Krasus | got ntfs partition and i want to cut from it for xubuntu instalation and home and when i click change it will create new partiton not change this ntfs to for e.g this new root ? | 00:02 |
| keithclark | Due to my distaste for Unity I've decided to give Xubuntu a fair shot. I like what I've seen so far, but everything is sooooo blue. Any suggestions for themes/wallpaper sources to cure this? | 00:57 |

| === DjGeCk0 is now known as ^GeCk0^ | ||
| homebrewcider | hi there, I have a xubuntu desktop with vinagre (remote desktop) installed. I have a second pc with xubuntu and mythbuntu installed. I can't login to the second one via the remote desktop program, I can log in via ssh though. I need to get the remote desktop via vnc going, can someone help please | 07:57 |
| xubuntuser | How can I boot into Windows7? Can see it in Grub menu but selecting this just returns to Grub screen again. Boots fine into Xubuntu though. | 08:00 |
| well_laid_lawn | homebrewcider: do you have any sort of vnc server running on the other comp? | 08:09 |
| well_laid_lawn | !grub | 08:10 |
| ubottu | 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) | 08:10 |
| xubuntuser | ubottu: It's grub2 itslef. I just can't get into Windows7. However Windows7 is listed in grub menu. | 08:13 |
| ubottu | xubuntuser: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:13 |
| xubuntuser | well_laid_lawn: It's grub2 itslef. I just can't get into Windows7. However Windows7 is listed in grub menu. (Guess your reply was pointed to me) | 08:14 |
| homebrewcider | well_laid_lawn - as far as I know | 08:14 |
| well_laid_lawn | homebrewcider: well, which port did you set the vnc server to be on? Stuff like that is important. Xubuntu doesn't come with a servr | 08:16 |
| well_laid_lawn | xubuntuser: I was just seeing if there was a bot link to help you out. I know nothing about windows | 08:17 |
| xubuntuser | well_laid_lawn: oh..thanks btw.. i actually can see my win7 partition in grub .. | 08:19 |
| homebrewcider | brb | 08:20 |
| well_laid_lawn | does the menu entry point to the right partition | 08:20 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| xubuntuser | well_laid_lawn: yes. seems so..sda1..any chance grub might have overwritten win7 bootloader? i think i had selected hda to install grub rather than /hda/sda2 (xbuntu partition) | 08:23 |
| well_laid_lawn | probably could have | 08:23 |
| well_laid_lawn | there will be plenty on the web about checking that | 08:24 |
| well_laid_lawn | I've never even seen win7 | 08:24 |
| well_laid_lawn | so I can't help there | 08:24 |

| xubuntu125 | hello | 09:28 |
| xubuntu125 | where i can get xubuntnu 12.10 beta ?please | 09:28 |
| xubuntu125 | i want to try it | 09:28 |
| xubuntu125 | please | 09:28 |
| TheSheep | !beta | 09:30 |
| ubottu | If you install a development version of Ubuntu Quantal and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.10 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. | 09:30 |
| TheSheep | hmm | 09:30 |
| TheSheep | one moment | 09:30 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu125: found it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/TechnicalOverview/Beta2#Download_the_Beta_2 | 09:34 |

| Gabryele72 | hi guys how is the party going? :D | 10:02 |
| disty | sorry, how can i change the user and the name of machine? | 10:03 |
| torax | disty: to change computer name edit /etc/hosts file, "sudoedit /etc/hosts" | 10:16 |
| torax | disty: about users, http://xubuntugeek.blogspot.fi/2012/07/how-to-add-new-user-account-in-xubuntu.html | 10:17 |
| Krasus | hey, anyone knows which driver should i choose after the xubuntu 12.04 instalation ? Nvidia 173 / 173 updates /current updates ? | 10:24 |
| Krasus | or current | 10:24 |
| bazhang | current | 10:25 |
| Krasus | any explanation why ? | 10:25 |

| homebrewcider | HI, one of the computers on my network can ping and be pinged but it will not update or connect to the internet itself. can someone help please | 12:37 |
| torax | homebrewcider: are you using NAT? | 12:41 |
| homebrewcider | how do I fond out | 13:00 |
| homebrewcider | find out | 13:01 |
| torax | homebrewcider: what is your ip addres, open terminal type ifconfig | 13:08 |
| homebrewcider | the computer in question, I have assigned a static ip of 192.168.1.49 | 13:09 |
| holstein | homebrewcider: can you ping google from the machine? ping google.com | 13:15 |
| homebrewcider | no I can't | 13:18 |
| homebrewcider | unknown host | 13:18 |
| holstein | homebrewcider: i would just check the network config.. make sure DNS is as expected | 13:20 |
| holstein | homebrewcider: i suppose at some point i might throw a live CD in the machine to test the networking hardware if i "hit a wall" with it | 13:21 |
| homebrewcider | okay, the live cd option... | 13:21 |
| homebrewcider | ? | 13:22 |
| holstein | homebrewcider: the live CD would take all of my configuration form my current install out of the equation.. easily | 13:22 |
| holstein | if the machine *doesnt* get online from a live CD, then i can stop fiddlying with the OS.. i can look to driver support, or hardare issues.. or network configuration | 13:23 |
| homebrewcider | okay< I'm assuming I have to run a command at a shell when the live cd boots | 13:23 |
| holstein | homebrewcider: you shouldnt... you didnt when you installed xubuntu, correct? | 13:24 |
| homebrewcider | oh I see what you're gtting at | 13:24 |
| homebrewcider | I was thinking rescue mode | 13:24 |
| homebrewcider | yeah, I'll try that then | 13:24 |
| homebrewcider | cheers, I'll do that tomorrow, getting late here | 13:25 |
| holstein | then, i would want to see the DHCP settings, and DNS... just typical network troublshooting | 13:25 |
| holstein | homebrewcider: you're issue has *nothing* to do with updates however | 13:25 |
| homebrewcider | cheers for your help | 13:25 |
| homebrewcider | ok | 13:25 |
| holstein | so, next time you ask, you can just say "im on whatever version of whatever operating system using whatever device, and its not geting online" | 13:26 |
| holstein | homebrewcider: when you say "static IP".. i would look at whate made that IP static | 13:27 |
| homebrewcider | go on | 13:27 |
| torax | id say its just NAT | 13:27 |
| holstein | homebrewcider: im suggesting whatever you did to make it static is the issue... i would try DHCP.. i would try specifying a DNS server in the static IP config | 13:28 |
| holstein | i moved my server machine over to my parents house... i had to specify a DNS server to get it to connect to anything.. i used the opendns ip's | 13:29 |
| homebrewcider | ok, I'll look at all this tomorrow | 13:30 |
| homebrewcider | cheers | 13:30 |

| qwerty1234 | Can someone help me with a problem? | 20:36 |
| TheSheep | qwerty1234: you have to describe it | 20:36 |
| qwerty1234 | Ok one second | 20:36 |
| TheSheep | qwerty1234: nobody can tell if they can help or not without first knowing the problem | 20:36 |
| qwerty1234 | Ok so I have gmusicbrowser and I have been trying to download youtube vidoes as mp3 files and when I try to play them an error message keeps coming up and it does not play? | 20:37 |
| qwerty1234 | "Playing error : Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in. at /usr/bin/../share/gmusicbrowser/gmusicbrowser_gstreamer-0.10.pm line 135, <$OUTPUTfh> line 135." | 20:37 |
| TheSheep | qwerty1234: how did you "save them as mp3 files"? | 20:38 |
| qwerty1234 | The website I use requires me to input the url of the video and it converts it to an mp3 file and then I download the file | 20:39 |
| qwerty1234 | But when I try to open it the error message comes up | 20:39 |
| TheSheep | qwerty1234: can you play other mp3 files fine? | 20:39 |
| qwerty1234 | I dont have any other ones this is the first time I have tried to download mp3 files and play them | 20:40 |
| SkippersBoss | so what website are u using to download these videos | 20:40 |
| TheSheep | ok, first make sure you can play mp3 files at all, see this | 20:40 |
| TheSheep | !mp3 | qwerty1234 | 20:40 |

| qwerty1234 | thats it^ | 20:41 |
| qwerty1234 | TheSheep what do you mean? | 20:42 |
| TheSheep | qwerty1234: visit those links, read through them and see if what they say helps you | 20:42 |
| SkippersBoss | qwerty1234, can you play any other mp3 files | 20:42 |
| qwerty1234 | Oh ok I will hold on | 20:42 |
| qwerty1234 | I do not have any other mp3 files this was the first time I have tried to dowload and play any? | 20:43 |
| SkippersBoss | it looks like the website is dodgy | 20:48 |
| qwerty1234 | what do you mean? | 20:48 |
| SkippersBoss | when a website has a problem in doing its primary task but is very succesful in showing anoying scripts with links to other sites i get very cautious | 20:51 |
| qwerty1234 | oh | 20:51 |
| qwerty1234 | when i try to play an mp3 it says GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in | 20:55 |
| SkippersBoss | have you got another mp3 file NOT coming from this website | 20:55 |
| qwerty1234 | ive tryed other websites also | 20:55 |
| qwerty1234 | i dont think its the website | 20:55 |
| qwerty1234 | how do i get the plug in that it says im missing? | 20:56 |
| SkippersBoss | well follow the TheSheep suggestions and read the links | 20:56 |
| qwerty1234 | i looked but could not find anything | 20:56 |
| SkippersBoss | !mp3 > qwerty1234 | 20:57 |
| ubottu | qwerty1234, please see my private message | 20:57 |
| qwerty1234 | I fixed it | 21:06 |
| SkippersBoss | cool | 21:07 |
| qwerty1234 | thanks for your help :D | 21:07 |
| SkippersBoss | May i suggest you use a tool like clipgrab | 21:07 |
| qwerty1234 | Whats clipgrab? | 21:07 |
| SkippersBoss | instead of external sites | 21:07 |
| qwerty1234 | oh ok sure | 21:07 |
| SkippersBoss | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/clipgrab-download-online-videos.html | 21:08 |
| SkippersBoss | follow the directions in the box. It will save to mp4 /ogg and mp3 :-) | 21:09 |
