[00:30] or just use 12.04 [00:31] :P === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:26] hey guys [01:26] I got a question about xfce [01:27] 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)? [01:34] kgb_operative: see if this helps - http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=23162#p23162 [01:37] thanks, I think this is what im looking for [02:53] Is anyone having trouble running the software updater? [02:57] Hello, how do I know that my xubuntu has ipv6 support? [02:58] I've try: [02:58] sudo modprobe ipv6 [02:58] but [02:58] IPV6 should work by default. [02:58] lsmod | grep ipv6 [02:58] you set it up in NetworkManager [02:58] gives me nothing [03:00] xubuntu680: What's the issue? [03:00] matematikaadit: In the terminal, ip addr [03:01] ip addr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1308678/ [03:03] "ping www.ipv6.org" works, but "ping6 www.ipv6.org" doesn't. It says "unknown host" [03:04] And in terminal, whenever some program trying to connect to some ipv6 address, it fail. [03:04] http://test-ipv6.com/ Does your DNS and ISP have it? [03:08] 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." [03:09] As did it on mine, but if I dig AAAA ipv6.google.com it'll pull their IPv6 address. [03:09] (I do not have IPv6) [03:10] OK, i've try: dig AAAA ipv6.google.com [03:11] which part that say it's ipv4 address? [03:11] ipv6.l.google.com. 300 IN AAAA 2607:f8b0:400c:c02::93 [03:14] i don't get it? [03:14] does 'ping ipv6.l.google.com' equal to 'ping6 ipv6.google.com'? [03:15] but 'ping ipv6.l.google.com' doesn't work. [03:15] no it doesn't. [03:15] ping = ipv4, ping6 = ipv6 [03:16] Do you even have IPv6 connectivity? [03:16] Not many residential ISPs provide it. [03:17] I think I haven't [03:53] hey. any folks running xubuntu on a thinkpad t61? [09:36] 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. [09:38] You should be able to set that up in gigolo, and for sure in fstab. [09:53] Oh. That's nice. [09:57] 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. [09:58] guess I should just add fstab entries >_> [10:01] I did that with my cifs share, worked better for me than gigolo by a good shot. [10:38] 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? [11:17] hey, any way to get .php files to open by default with gedit? [11:20] never min, think i got it working, have to see if it sticks [11:47] hi everypone [11:48] !hi | xubuntu795 [11:48] 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! [13:17] how do I change permissions to a usb stick? [13:18] it should be writable as you plug it in [13:20] GridCube, remember my not fresh upgrade to 12.10? but I managed to change permissions with sudo nautilus [13:21] permissions to what? [13:21] and btw, what tips would you give to a newbie, if you sistematically upgrade with fresh installs? [13:21] to write and copy and execute [13:22] 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 [13:26] 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? [13:28] not really [13:31] 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] 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. [13:32] buon giorno a tu Andrea2804 , non parlamos italiano [13:32] sorry [13:32] id really appreciate a correction to my broken italian [13:33] Andrea2804: #ubuntu-it [13:33] !it | Andrea2804 [13:33] 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] 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) [13:35] Andrea2804: does other burners says the same? what lsusb says? its detected? [13:36] I have no other burners, I can see it with lsusb [13:36] Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0409:0056 NEC Corp. [13:37] does it have a blank cd on it? [13:37] Andrea2804: have you tried Brasero? [13:38] Gridcube: if I put an empty dvd the problem with Xfburn doesn't change [13:38] also do as recon_lap recommends, and try other burners, :) if this problem persist its not an issue of xfburn P: [13:38] recon_lap: Brasero didn't help :( [13:38] does it read non-blank dvds? [13:39] it reads, but itàs not recognized as a writer [13:39] it's [13:39] yes i see [13:39] I read some forums and I tried to modify the fstab file [13:40] putting this line: /dev/sg2 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [13:42] i would try adding rw to the user,noauto,exec,utf8,rw << this means its read and write [13:42] i would even just try adding auto instead of all that [13:43] but you are using noauto so [13:44] so you suggest auto and rw? :) itàs worth trying [13:46] auto,rw are my usual settings when i dont understand what im doing [13:48] :D [15:05] anyone using dual monitors? [15:06] more than one display on xubuntu? [15:06] 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) [15:07] holstein, i have a netbook (small laptop), i connect through vga to a monitor [15:07] got two as well, not great setup though, have not spent the time to iron out the issues :) [15:09] hhhzzzarn: i have had good luck with arandr on my laptops [15:09] 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] so I disable my netbook display. [15:10] 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] I have to restart my computer to get it back on the netbook [15:10] i will give it a try. [15:11] although by looking at the gui screenshot, i thought it was very simple, same options as the default display manager for xubuntu [15:11] hhhzzzarn: enable both monitors and run this xrandr --output VGA1 --left-of LVDS1 [15:12] hhhzzzarn: should let you use both monitors at once [15:13] 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] then I have to hold down the power button until it shuts off and reboot manualy. [15:14] wich version are you using? [15:14] 12.10 [15:14] it was happeneing with 12.04 ubuntu as well. [15:14] happening* [15:16] anyways. [15:18] hhhzzzarn: what netbook you got? [15:19] acer aspire one d257, upgraded to 2gb ram, dual core 1.6 [15:20] just upgraded the ram to 2gb. [15:20] you have one too? [15:28] hhhzzzarn: no, just have a nice setup guide for 1015pn , not sure if it any use to you though [15:35] Hi all [15:39] !hi | chuck [15:39] chuck: 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! [15:43] go help at #ubuntu channel :) [15:44] 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? [15:45] chuck, I have experience with that before :) [15:45] chuck, may I know what will you be using your gui server for :) [15:46] I want to try and get a few eve online clients running on it [15:46] gamer server or bot client related maybe? [15:46] so i can remote into it while im away from home [15:46] I had two good guides bookmarked last year. Let me try to find it for you. [15:47] thankyou :) [15:48] it will take a while. [15:48] because the other website forum that had the good guides is no longer running. [15:51] it sucks when that happens [15:51] how do i easily play a mid file? [15:51] :/ [15:51] it cant be that hard [15:53] gridcube, did you searched it online first? [15:53] hhhzzzarn: i did, but i just cant believe its so incredibly complex just to play a midi file [15:53] chuck: http://www.sythe.org/showthread.php?t=977316 [15:54] chuck: you have to change the xstartup file for vnc. [15:55] GridCube: a midi file? dont you need midi hardware connected to do that. [15:56] its... just a karaoke song... [15:57] lol i need to patch the kernel just to play some midis XD [15:57] gridcube: http://thameera.wordpress.com/2011/04/08/playing-midi-files-in-ubuntu/ [15:57] GridCube: maybe with somthing like this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/bristol.1.html [15:58] XD ajaja this is ridiculous [15:58] !info bristol [15:58] bristol (source: bristol): vintage synthesizer emulator. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.60.10-2ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 857 kB, installed size 2711 kB [15:59] GridCube: not really, midi files are not compressed audio files [16:01] can't vlc play midi?

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

[19:06] There isn't one by default, but you may be able to use the mini ppc image. [19:07] IIRC, Lubuntu is the only ppc version? [19:10] Only the Lubuntu works with powerpc? [19:11] Not exactly what I meant, just that it may be the only one pre-built. [19:11] !ppc [19:11] 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.

[20:02] type /join #ubuntu [20:02] ty [20:02] np [20:03] this room is specifically xubuntu related and your issue seems to be from ubuntu thats the reason im telling you to try asking them [20:11] How long does the xubuntu download take, been all day so far [20:12] depends on your internet speeed [20:12] it only took me about 5 min [21:29] my appereance is now somewhat broken since the upgrade (not fresh) to 12.10: some Icons are double the regular size and break the menu, I cannot edit tracks in rythmbox, and the appereance is too a little weird: every time I pass the mouse on an icon a blue bar appears, every opened app has a blue bar as the menu bar (top of every app) [21:29] any tips? [21:30] now im running sudo apt-get autoremove [21:31] 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 [21:32] holstein, which ones? [21:33] 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 [21:34] aaa... I only have 5GB free space, enough? [21:34] should be.. [21:36] i am my only user, can I log in as regular user without shutting the apps I am using right now? [21:36] I mean log in as user 2, then back as user 1 and all opened apps will still be there... [21:38] nantou: i would just ake a new user.. and loging as that user.. === don is now known as Guest93759 [22:31] Hi guys, i have a problem, when i start my laptop, i receive a message about "Network service discovery disabled... avahi..." [22:31] How can i turn it off completely ? I have no avahi-service running in any runlevel [22:31] What is actually does this checks ? [22:36] 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. [22:37] What kind of settings ? [22:37] And can i simply off these checks ? [22:38] 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. [22:39] I have no other DNS servers to use , just my current, or 8.8.8.8 [22:40] What if i simply do avahi remove from the system , is it an option ? [22:41] 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. [22:42] !avahi [22:42] I don't use such a things here :) So i don't have to have autoconfigured things so far... [22:50] applications menu doesnt respond to delete or move commands, what do I do?

[23:25] aby ideas? [23:29] what do these 2 commands do? [23:29] sudo apt-get install aptitude && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [23:29] sudo apt-get update -f && sudo apt-get -f install [23:34] hi [23:36] 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? [23:37] i thought of using gpg with a keyfile, but that would have to be decrypted twice as well (or be stored somewhere).
