kgb_operativeI got a question about xfce01:26
kgb_operativeI 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_lawnkgb_operative: see if this helps - http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=23162#p2316201:34
kgb_operativethanks, I think this is what im looking for01:37
xubuntu680Is anyone having trouble running the software updater?02:53
matematikaaditHello, how do I know that my xubuntu has ipv6 support?02:57
matematikaaditI've try:02:58
matematikaaditsudo modprobe ipv602:58
matematikaaditbut02:58
sdollinsIPV6 should work by default.02:58
matematikaaditlsmod | grep ipv602:58
sdollinsyou set it up in NetworkManager02:58
matematikaaditgives me nothing02:58
Unit193xubuntu680: What's the issue?03:00
Unit193matematikaadit: In the terminal, ip addr03:00
matematikaaditip 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
matematikaaditAnd in terminal, whenever some program trying to connect to some ipv6 address, it fail.03:04
Unit193http://test-ipv6.com/  Does your DNS and ISP  have it?03:04
matematikaaditit 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
Unit193As 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
matematikaaditOK, i've try: dig AAAA ipv6.google.com03:10
matematikaaditwhich part that say it's ipv4 address?03:11
Unit193ipv6.l.google.com.  300  IN  AAAA  2607:f8b0:400c:c02::9303:11
matematikaaditi don't get it?03:14
matematikaaditdoes 'ping ipv6.l.google.com' equal to 'ping6 ipv6.google.com'?03:14
matematikaaditbut 'ping ipv6.l.google.com' doesn't work.03:15
sdollinsno it doesn't.03:15
sdollinsping = ipv4, ping6 = ipv603:15
sdollinsDo you even have IPv6 connectivity?03:16
sdollinsNot many residential ISPs provide it.03:16
matematikaaditI think I haven't03:17
ryanbrunswickhey. any folks running xubuntu on a thinkpad t61?03:53
IndustrialBy 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
Unit193You should be able to set that up in gigolo, and for sure in fstab.09:38
IndustrialOh. That's nice.09:53
IndustrialUnit193: 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
Industrialguess I should just add fstab entries >_>09:58
Unit193I did that with my cifs share, worked better for me than gigolo by a good shot.10:01

nantouhow do I change permissions to a usb stick?13:17
GridCubeit should be writable as you plug it in13:18
nantouGridCube, remember my not fresh upgrade to 12.10? but I managed to change permissions with sudo nautilus13:20
GridCubepermissions to what?13:21
nantouand btw, what tips would you give to a newbie, if you sistematically upgrade with fresh installs?13:21
nantouto write and copy and execute13:21
GridCubei 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 disk13:22
nantouwould 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
GridCubenot really13:28
Andrea2804ciao 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_lapI 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
nantoubuon giorno a tu Andrea2804 , non parlamos italiano13:32
Andrea2804sorry13:32
nantouid really appreciate a correction to my broken italian13:32

Andrea2804so 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
GridCubeAndrea2804: does other burners says the same? what lsusb says? its detected?13:35
Andrea2804I have no other burners, I can see it with lsusb13:36
Andrea2804Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0409:0056 NEC Corp.13:36
GridCubedoes it have a blank cd on it?13:37
recon_lapAndrea2804: have you tried Brasero?13:37
Andrea2804Gridcube: if I put an empty dvd the problem with Xfburn doesn't change13:38
GridCubealso do as recon_lap recommends, and try other burners, :) if this problem persist its not an issue of xfburn P:13:38
Andrea2804recon_lap: Brasero didn't help :(13:38
GridCubedoes it read non-blank dvds?13:38
Andrea2804it reads, but itàs not recognized as a writer13:39
Andrea2804it's13:39
GridCubeyes i see13:39
Andrea2804I read some forums and I tried to modify the fstab file13:39
Andrea2804putting this line: /dev/sg2     /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       013:40
GridCubei would try adding rw to the user,noauto,exec,utf8,rw  << this means its read and write13:42
GridCubei would even just try adding auto instead of all that13:42
GridCubebut you are using noauto so13:43
Andrea2804so you suggest auto and rw? :) itàs worth trying13:44
GridCubeauto,rw are my usual settings when i dont understand what im doing13:46

hhhzzzarnanyone using dual monitors?15:05
hhhzzzarnmore than one display on xubuntu?15:06
holsteinhhhzzzarn: 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
hhhzzzarnholstein, i have a netbook (small laptop), i connect through vga to a monitor15:07
recon_lapgot two as well, not great setup though, have not spent the time to iron out the issues :)15:07
holsteinhhhzzzarn: i have had good luck with arandr on my laptops15:09
hhhzzzarnwhen 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
hhhzzzarnso I disable my netbook display.15:09
hhhzzzarnthe 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
hhhzzzarnI have to restart my computer to get it back on the netbook15:10
hhhzzzarni will give it a try.15:10
hhhzzzarnalthough by looking at the gui screenshot, i thought it was very simple, same options as the default display manager for xubuntu15:11
recon_laphhhzzzarn: enable both monitors and run this xrandr --output VGA1 --left-of LVDS115:11
recon_laphhhzzzarn: should let you use both monitors at once15:12
hhhzzzarnalso, 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
hhhzzzarnthen I have to hold down the power button until it shuts off and reboot manualy.15:13
GridCubewich version are you using?15:14
hhhzzzarn12.1015:14
hhhzzzarnit was happeneing with 12.04 ubuntu as well.15:14
hhhzzzarnhappening*15:14
hhhzzzarnanyways.15:16
recon_laphhhzzzarn: what netbook you got?15:18
hhhzzzarnacer aspire one d257, upgraded to 2gb ram, dual core 1.615:19
hhhzzzarnjust upgraded the ram to 2gb.15:20
hhhzzzarnyou have one too?15:20
recon_laphhhzzzarn: no, just have a nice setup guide for 1015pn , not sure if it any use to you though15:28

hhhzzzarnchuck: http://www.sythe.org/showthread.php?t=97731615:53

hhhzzzarnnot can. am*16:12
GridCubehhhzzzarn: yeah me too, but i was just shocked most sites went to recommend kernel patches to play midis16:12
hhhzzzarnI always wanted to play final fantasy or atleast be in the game world but we never had a console16:13
GridCubeme neither, but that never stoped me16:13

XATRIXHi guys, i have a problem, when i start my laptop, i receive a message about "Network service discovery disabled... avahi..."22:31
XATRIXHow can i turn it off completely ? I have no avahi-service running in any runlevel22:31
XATRIXWhat is actually does this checks ?22:31
David-AXATRIX: 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
XATRIXWhat kind of settings ?22:37
XATRIXAnd can i simply off these checks ?22:37
David-AXATRIX: 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
XATRIXI have no other DNS servers to use , just my current, or 8.8.8.822:39
XATRIXWhat if i simply do avahi remove from the system , is it an option ?22:40
David-AXATRIX: 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!avahi22:42
XATRIXI don't use such a things here :) So i don't have to have autoconfigured things so far...22:42

pimperlehi23:34
pimperlei 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
pimperlei thought of using gpg with a keyfile, but that would have to be decrypted twice as well (or be stored somewhere).23:37
