kgb_operative | hey guys | 01:26 |
kgb_operative | I got a question about xfce | 01:26 |
kgb_operative | I found how to extend my desktop on two different monitors, but is there a way to have two desktops running (one on each monitor)? | 01:27 |
well_laid_lawn | kgb_operative: see if this helps - http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=23162#p23162 | 01:34 |
kgb_operative | thanks, I think this is what im looking for | 01:37 |
xubuntu680 | Is anyone having trouble running the software updater? | 02:53 |
matematikaadit | Hello, how do I know that my xubuntu has ipv6 support? | 02:57 |
matematikaadit | I've try: | 02:58 |
matematikaadit | sudo modprobe ipv6 | 02:58 |
matematikaadit | but | 02:58 |
sdollins | IPV6 should work by default. | 02:58 |
matematikaadit | lsmod | grep ipv6 | 02:58 |
sdollins | you set it up in NetworkManager | 02:58 |
matematikaadit | gives me nothing | 02:58 |
Unit193 | xubuntu680: What's the issue? | 03:00 |
Unit193 | matematikaadit: In the terminal, ip addr | 03:00 |
matematikaadit | ip addr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1308678/ | 03:01 |
matematikaadit | "ping www.ipv6.org" works, but "ping6 www.ipv6.org" doesn't. It says "unknown host" | 03:03 |
matematikaadit | And in terminal, whenever some program trying to connect to some ipv6 address, it fail. | 03:04 |
Unit193 | http://test-ipv6.com/ Does your DNS and ISP have it? | 03:04 |
matematikaadit | it says "Your DNS server (possibly run by your ISP) appears to have no access to the IPv6 Internet, or is not configured to use it." | 03:08 |
Unit193 | As did it on mine, but if I dig AAAA ipv6.google.com it'll pull their IPv6 address. | 03:09 |
Unit193 | (I do not have IPv6) | 03:09 |
matematikaadit | OK, i've try: dig AAAA ipv6.google.com | 03:10 |
matematikaadit | which part that say it's ipv4 address? | 03:11 |
Unit193 | ipv6.l.google.com. 300 IN AAAA 2607:f8b0:400c:c02::93 | 03:11 |
matematikaadit | i don't get it? | 03:14 |
matematikaadit | does 'ping ipv6.l.google.com' equal to 'ping6 ipv6.google.com'? | 03:14 |
matematikaadit | but 'ping ipv6.l.google.com' doesn't work. | 03:15 |
sdollins | no it doesn't. | 03:15 |
sdollins | ping = ipv4, ping6 = ipv6 | 03:15 |
sdollins | Do you even have IPv6 connectivity? | 03:16 |
sdollins | Not many residential ISPs provide it. | 03:16 |
matematikaadit | I think I haven't | 03:17 |
ryanbrunswick | hey. any folks running xubuntu on a thinkpad t61? | 03:53 |
Industrial | By default, when I start up & log in, all my removable drives and NTFS partitions are not mounted. Can I get these to mount? My music player library depends on it. I often have to redo the whole library import because I forget to mount first. | 09:36 |
Unit193 | You should be able to set that up in gigolo, and for sure in fstab. | 09:38 |
Industrial | Oh. That's nice. | 09:53 |
Industrial | Unit193: fstab doesn't seem to hold entries for these partitions, gigolo can't change anything about them and I also checked the Removable Drives and Media settings. | 09:57 |
Industrial | guess I should just add fstab entries >_> | 09:58 |
Unit193 | I did that with my cifs share, worked better for me than gigolo by a good shot. | 10:01 |
DemonWitch | Hey i got a laptop that uses 2 gpus, one integrated shared memory (intel) and one exclusive memory main gpu (nvidia). As a result the livecd shows blackscreen. What can i do? | 10:38 |
recon_lap | hey, any way to get .php files to open by default with gedit? | 11:17 |
recon_lap | never min, think i got it working, have to see if it sticks | 11:20 |
xubuntu795 | hi everypone | 11:47 |
recon_lap | !hi | xubuntu795 | 11:48 |
ubottu | xubuntu795: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 11:48 |
nantou | how do I change permissions to a usb stick? | 13:17 |
GridCube | it should be writable as you plug it in | 13:18 |
nantou | GridCube, remember my not fresh upgrade to 12.10? but I managed to change permissions with sudo nautilus | 13:20 |
GridCube | permissions to what? | 13:21 |
nantou | and btw, what tips would you give to a newbie, if you sistematically upgrade with fresh installs? | 13:21 |
nantou | to write and copy and execute | 13:21 |
GridCube | i have 4 separated partitions on my drives, one for / one for /home other for /shared and the swap one, everytime i install a new version y simply change the files from / and check that the config files on /home wont mess things up, then i just upgrade and my files are safe, /share can be an ntfs partition shared with a windows on other disk | 13:22 |
nantou | would it be of any help, in my non fresh installation, to add the 12.10 iso copy from an usb stick to my sources? | 13:26 |
GridCube | not really | 13:28 |
Andrea2804 | ciao a tutti, ho pangolin e quando apro xfburn mi dice che non è disponibile alcuna unita' di masterizzazione (ma ho il masterizzatore esterno che con oneiric andava benissimo) | 13:31 |
recon_lap | I then to stay on LTS versions, and do a reinstall every 2 years :) , got my home folder in it's own partition as well. | 13:31 |
nantou | buon giorno a tu Andrea2804 , non parlamos italiano | 13:32 |
Andrea2804 | sorry | 13:32 |
nantou | id really appreciate a correction to my broken italian | 13:32 |
recon_lap | Andrea2804: #ubuntu-it | 13:33 |
GridCube | !it | Andrea2804 | 13:33 |
ubottu | Andrea2804: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 13:33 |
Andrea2804 | so in English: I have pangolin and when I start Xfburn it says that any burning device is available (I have a usb device that worked well with oneiric) | 13:33 |
GridCube | Andrea2804: does other burners says the same? what lsusb says? its detected? | 13:35 |
Andrea2804 | I have no other burners, I can see it with lsusb | 13:36 |
Andrea2804 | Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0409:0056 NEC Corp. | 13:36 |
GridCube | does it have a blank cd on it? | 13:37 |
recon_lap | Andrea2804: have you tried Brasero? | 13:37 |
Andrea2804 | Gridcube: if I put an empty dvd the problem with Xfburn doesn't change | 13:38 |
GridCube | also do as recon_lap recommends, and try other burners, :) if this problem persist its not an issue of xfburn P: | 13:38 |
Andrea2804 | recon_lap: Brasero didn't help :( | 13:38 |
GridCube | does it read non-blank dvds? | 13:38 |
Andrea2804 | it reads, but itàs not recognized as a writer | 13:39 |
Andrea2804 | it's | 13:39 |
GridCube | yes i see | 13:39 |
Andrea2804 | I read some forums and I tried to modify the fstab file | 13:39 |
Andrea2804 | putting this line: /dev/sg2 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 13:40 |
GridCube | i would try adding rw to the user,noauto,exec,utf8,rw << this means its read and write | 13:42 |
GridCube | i would even just try adding auto instead of all that | 13:42 |
GridCube | but you are using noauto so | 13:43 |
Andrea2804 | so you suggest auto and rw? :) itàs worth trying | 13:44 |
GridCube | auto,rw are my usual settings when i dont understand what im doing | 13:46 |
Andrea2804 | :D | 13:48 |
hhhzzzarn | anyone using dual monitors? | 15:05 |
hhhzzzarn | more than one display on xubuntu? | 15:06 |
holstein | hhhzzzarn: i do/have... i have used arandr for spanning.. the nvidia proprietary tool gives me an easy way to deal with it too, though thats just for nvidia (obviously) | 15:06 |
hhhzzzarn | holstein, i have a netbook (small laptop), i connect through vga to a monitor | 15:07 |
recon_lap | got two as well, not great setup though, have not spent the time to iron out the issues :) | 15:07 |
holstein | hhhzzzarn: i have had good luck with arandr on my laptops | 15:09 |
hhhzzzarn | when I have both display is use, the netbook display only shows a portion of the screen, while the monitor have two desktop backgroud images, a smaller (represting the netboot) and a full one. | 15:09 |
hhhzzzarn | so I disable my netbook display. | 15:09 |
hhhzzzarn | the problem happens when I try to re enable my netbook display, it will not turn back on. Also if I disconnect the vga cable, it will not automatically show on the netbook. | 15:10 |
hhhzzzarn | I have to restart my computer to get it back on the netbook | 15:10 |
hhhzzzarn | i will give it a try. | 15:10 |
hhhzzzarn | although by looking at the gui screenshot, i thought it was very simple, same options as the default display manager for xubuntu | 15:11 |
recon_lap | hhhzzzarn: enable both monitors and run this xrandr --output VGA1 --left-of LVDS1 | 15:11 |
recon_lap | hhhzzzarn: should let you use both monitors at once | 15:12 |
hhhzzzarn | also, another general questions with ubuntu, xubuntu, I can not restart my computer. I press restart, it starts to logout, (possibly shutdown) and the gui shutsoff and while the computer power is still on, all I see is black. | 15:13 |
hhhzzzarn | then I have to hold down the power button until it shuts off and reboot manualy. | 15:13 |
GridCube | wich version are you using? | 15:14 |
hhhzzzarn | 12.10 | 15:14 |
hhhzzzarn | it was happeneing with 12.04 ubuntu as well. | 15:14 |
hhhzzzarn | happening* | 15:14 |
hhhzzzarn | anyways. | 15:16 |
recon_lap | hhhzzzarn: what netbook you got? | 15:18 |
hhhzzzarn | acer aspire one d257, upgraded to 2gb ram, dual core 1.6 | 15:19 |
hhhzzzarn | just upgraded the ram to 2gb. | 15:20 |
hhhzzzarn | you have one too? | 15:20 |
recon_lap | hhhzzzarn: no, just have a nice setup guide for 1015pn , not sure if it any use to you though | 15:28 |

chuck | I'm attempting to install an xubuntu desktop on top of a ubuntu server for vnc use, but i'm having issues getting past the login screen locally and when I VNC in I only get an xfce terminal emulator. Are there any guides handy for this kinda thing? | 15:44 |
hhhzzzarn | chuck, I have experience with that before :) | 15:45 |
hhhzzzarn | chuck, may I know what will you be using your gui server for :) | 15:45 |
chuck | I want to try and get a few eve online clients running on it | 15:46 |
hhhzzzarn | gamer server or bot client related maybe? | 15:46 |
chuck | so i can remote into it while im away from home | 15:46 |
hhhzzzarn | I had two good guides bookmarked last year. Let me try to find it for you. | 15:46 |
chuck | thankyou :) | 15:47 |
hhhzzzarn | it will take a while. | 15:48 |
hhhzzzarn | because the other website forum that had the good guides is no longer running. | 15:48 |
chuck | it sucks when that happens | 15:51 |
GridCube | how do i easily play a mid file? | 15:51 |
GridCube | :/ | 15:51 |
GridCube | it cant be that hard | 15:51 |
hhhzzzarn | gridcube, did you searched it online first? | 15:53 |
GridCube | hhhzzzarn: i did, but i just cant believe its so incredibly complex just to play a midi file | 15:53 |
hhhzzzarn | chuck: http://www.sythe.org/showthread.php?t=977316 | 15:53 |
hhhzzzarn | chuck: you have to change the xstartup file for vnc. | 15:54 |
recon_lap | GridCube: a midi file? dont you need midi hardware connected to do that. | 15:55 |
GridCube | its... just a karaoke song... | 15:56 |
GridCube | lol i need to patch the kernel just to play some midis XD | 15:57 |
hhhzzzarn | gridcube: http://thameera.wordpress.com/2011/04/08/playing-midi-files-in-ubuntu/ | 15:57 |
recon_lap | GridCube: maybe with somthing like this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/bristol.1.html | 15:57 |

hhhzzzarn | can't vlc play midi? | 16:01 |
GridCube | not mine | 16:01 |
GridCube | i've tryied | 16:01 |
hhhzzzarn | have you tried the link i provided? | 16:09 |
GridCube | hhhzzzarn: im doing that | 16:10 |
GridCube | \o/ SUCCESS! | 16:11 |
GridCube | thanks hhhzzzarn | 16:11 |
hhhzzzarn | I do not consider myself as experienced as to provide help directly but I can good searching and keyword skills :) | 16:12 |
GridCube | its funny because the midi was the final fantasy IV(II) victory fanfare so it felt expecially expecial! | 16:12 |
hhhzzzarn | not can. am* | 16:12 |
GridCube | hhhzzzarn: yeah me too, but i was just shocked most sites went to recommend kernel patches to play midis | 16:12 |
hhhzzzarn | I always wanted to play final fantasy or atleast be in the game world but we never had a console | 16:13 |
GridCube | me neither, but that never stoped me | 16:13 |
hhhzzzarn | i don't think finaly fantasy is that realistically beautifull environments, does it? | 16:13 |
hhhzzzarn | as good as the concept arts. | 16:14 |

andreOne | to install the restricted extras package the system required me to uninstall the "libav codec library" and the "libav utility lybrary", does this sounds good to you? | 16:31 |

gonccalo | hi, where can i fing a xubuntu image for powerpc? | 19:05 |
Unit193 | There isn't one by default, but you may be able to use the mini ppc image. | 19:06 |
Unit193 | IIRC, Lubuntu is the only ppc version? | 19:07 |
gonccalo | Only the Lubuntu works with powerpc? | 19:10 |
Unit193 | Not exactly what I meant, just that it may be the only one pre-built. | 19:11 |
Unit193 | !ppc | 19:11 |
ubottu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 19:11 |

nantou | any tips? | 21:29 |
nantou | now im running sudo apt-get autoremove | 21:30 |
holstein | nantou: i would probably just make a new user, and see what things look like.. and think about removing some config files int he /home dir | 21:31 |
nantou | holstein, which ones? | 21:32 |
holstein | nantou: i wouldnt just start remvoing. i would test as a new user.. and then just start looking at the ones for the issues you are having... renaming and allowing new ones to "spawn".. from .config for example | 21:33 |
nantou | aaa... I only have 5GB free space, enough? | 21:34 |
holstein | should be.. | 21:34 |
nantou | i am my only user, can I log in as regular user without shutting the apps I am using right now? | 21:36 |
nantou | I mean log in as user 2, then back as user 1 and all opened apps will still be there... | 21:36 |

XATRIX | Hi guys, i have a problem, when i start my laptop, i receive a message about "Network service discovery disabled... avahi..." | 22:31 |
XATRIX | How can i turn it off completely ? I have no avahi-service running in any runlevel | 22:31 |
XATRIX | What is actually does this checks ? | 22:31 |
David-A | XATRIX: your internet-service-provider's dns have a ".local" domain that should be more local. (a give in to Microsoft as I understand it). one solution is to use another dns, or to change a setting in one of your config files. | 22:36 |
XATRIX | What kind of settings ? | 22:37 |
XATRIX | And can i simply off these checks ? | 22:37 |
David-A | XATRIX: there is a file where you can turn off that check, or you can change what DNS server you use (instead of your ISPs DNS). I dont have the details in my head. I changed DNS if I recall correctly. | 22:38 |
XATRIX | I have no other DNS servers to use , just my current, or 8.8.8.8 | 22:39 |
XATRIX | What if i simply do avahi remove from the system , is it an option ? | 22:40 |
David-A | XATRIX: I don't remember having seen that as a good option. I think change dns is the best option if you want to have network printers and such to autoconfigure. | 22:41 |
David-A | !avahi | 22:42 |
XATRIX | I don't use such a things here :) So i don't have to have autoconfigured things so far... | 22:42 |

pimperle | i need a small tip. i installed xubuntu on my new ssd with full disk encryption. /home resides on a raid1, also encrypted. both use luks and lvm. Now i'd like to enter only one passphrase during boot. I could use a key for the /home raid, but then the keyfile will be accessible when the system runs. any ideas how i can make it such that i only have to add the key once? | 23:36 |
pimperle | i thought of using gpg with a keyfile, but that would have to be decrypted twice as well (or be stored somewhere). | 23:37 |
