[00:00] <torax> I think some 4gb swap will be more than enough
[00:00] <Krasus> k
[00:01] <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
[00:02] <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 ?
[00:57] <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?

[01:36] <keithclark> Just trying out Xubuntu from Ubuntu and I must say, nice job!  So far so good.  I think I even like it better than Lubuntu

[07:57] <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
[08:00] <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.
[08:09] <well_laid_lawn> homebrewcider: do you have any sort of vnc server running on the other comp?
[08:10] <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)
[08:13] <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 :)
[08:14] <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
[08:16] <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
[08:17] <well_laid_lawn> xubuntuser: I was just seeing if there was a bot link to help you out. I know nothing about windows
[08:19] <xubuntuser> well_laid_lawn: oh..thanks btw.. i actually can see my win7 partition in grub ..
[08:20] <homebrewcider> brb
[08:20] <well_laid_lawn> does the menu entry point to the right partition
=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se
[08:23] <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
[08:24] <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

[09:28] <xubuntu125> hello

[09:28] <xubuntu125> i want to try it
[09:28] <xubuntu125> please
[09:30] <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
[09:34] <TheSheep> xubuntu125: found it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/TechnicalOverview/Beta2#Download_the_Beta_2
[09:34] <TheSheep> it *is* hard to find :(

[09:38] <xubuntu125> thanks
[09:59] <disty> good morning
[10:02] <Gabryele72> hi guys how is the party going? :D
[10:03] <disty> sorry, how can i change the user and the name of machine?
[10:16] <torax> disty: to change computer name edit /etc/hosts file, "sudoedit /etc/hosts"

[10:24] <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
[10:25] <bazhang> current
[10:25] <Krasus> any explanation why ?
[10:27] <disty> torax: thanks.
[12:37] <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
[12:41] <torax> homebrewcider: are you using NAT?
[13:00] <homebrewcider> how do I fond out
[13:01] <homebrewcider> find out
[13:08] <torax> homebrewcider: what is your ip addres, open terminal type ifconfig
[13:09] <homebrewcider> the computer in question, I have assigned a static ip of  192.168.1.49
[13:15] <holstein> homebrewcider: can you ping google from the machine? ping google.com
[13:18] <homebrewcider> no I can't
[13:18] <homebrewcider> unknown host
[13:20] <holstein> homebrewcider: i would just check the network config.. make sure DNS is as expected
[13:21] <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...
[13:22] <homebrewcider> ?
[13:22] <holstein> homebrewcider: the live CD would take all of my configuration form my current install out of the equation.. easily
[13:23] <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
[13:24] <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
[13:25] <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
[13:26] <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"
[13:27] <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
[13:28] <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
[13:29] <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
[13:30] <homebrewcider> ok, I'll look at all this tomorrow
[13:30] <homebrewcider> cheers

[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
[20:37] <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."
[20:38] <TheSheep> qwerty1234: how did you "save them as mp3 files"?
[20:39] <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?
[20:40] <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

[20:42] <SkippersBoss> qwerty1234,  can you play any other mp3 files
[20:42] <qwerty1234> Oh ok I will hold on
[20:43] <qwerty1234> I do not have any other mp3 files this was the first time I have tried to dowload and play any?
[20:48] <SkippersBoss> it looks like the website is dodgy
[20:48] <qwerty1234> what do you mean?
[20:51] <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
[20:55] <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
[20:56] <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
[20:57] <SkippersBoss> !mp3 > qwerty1234
[20:57] <ubottu> qwerty1234, please see my private message
[21:06] <qwerty1234> I fixed it
[21:07] <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
[21:08] <SkippersBoss> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/clipgrab-download-online-videos.html
[21:09] <SkippersBoss> follow the directions in the box. It will save to mp4 /ogg and mp3 :-)
