| xubuntu403 | Hi I have a problem installing xubuntu 12.04. I installed from the live cd, and then it asked to do updates, and I allowed it to install them. Then it said that it needed to reboot, so I did, but now it comes up to the grub prompt. No idea what to do | 00:16 |
| nantou | what are the grub options? | 00:22 |
| nantou | select a previous kernel? | 00:23 |
| hhhzzzarn | what is the default disk utility called in xubuntu? | 00:23 |
| hhhzzzarn | I want to format a usb but do not know the name of the application. | 00:23 |
| xubuntu403 | I don't know the options, it is just a GRUB> command prompt | 00:23 |
| hhhzzzarn | search grub options online | 00:24 |
| nantou | xubuntu403, have yo tried #grub? | 00:25 |
| xubuntu403 | is this a normal thing? I have literally been using xubuntu for an hour. How could I have messed it up? | 00:25 |
| hhhzzzarn | what happened again? | 00:25 |
| nantou | xubuntu403, fresh installation? partition? | 00:25 |
| hhhzzzarn | I just joined, copy and paste. | 00:25 |
| hhhzzzarn | xubuntu403, what is your problem, copy and paste. | 00:25 |
| xubuntu403 | yes, completely fresh, all defaults | 00:26 |
| nantou | i suggest you join grub and ask there | 00:26 |

| hhhzzzarn | grub prompt as in what? | 00:28 |
| hhhzzzarn | grub boot menu? | 00:28 |
| hhhzzzarn | my options are xubuntu, other xubuntu options, and windows 7 | 00:29 |
| xubuntu403 | no not a menu, a GRUB> prompt | 00:29 |
| hhhzzzarn | ok | 00:29 |
| Unit193 | You have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 ? It has a section on that. | 00:29 |
| hhhzzzarn | fresh install, easier :) | 00:29 |
| xubuntu403 | I will try installing again, but this install is as fresh as it gets... maybe it will magically work next time | 00:30 |
| xubuntu403 | thanks | 00:30 |

| wcapio | hi folks, does anybody know how to use unicode in a terminal on xubuntu? my gnome terminal had a unicode option, can't seem to find it on xterm | 09:10 |
| well_laid_lawn | I don't think xterm does unicode | 09:11 |
| well_laid_lawn | that's why urxvt was made | 09:12 |
| well_laid_lawn | or call it rxvt-unicode | 09:12 |
| wcapio | I installed rxvt-unicode... how can I make it my default terminal? just change the keyboard shortcut? | 09:13 |
| well_laid_lawn | there's the default term in xubuntu which is nice | 09:13 |
| wcapio | ? default term does not do unicode, right? | 09:13 |
| well_laid_lawn | afaik it does | 09:14 |
| well_laid_lawn | seems fine here | 09:14 |
| well_laid_lawn | xterm isn't the default | 09:14 |
| wcapio | hmm... I'm on a fairly default installation, though... | 09:14 |
| wcapio | terminal emulator being the default one | 09:15 |
| ferni | xterm supports utf-8 | 09:16 |
| ferni | and so doest the default xubuntu terminal xfce4-terminal | 09:16 |
| wcapio | ferni, does xfce4-terminal display unicode or only ?????? | 09:17 |
| wcapio | I mean only question marks | 09:17 |
| ferni | should display correctly if the font has thos characters | 09:19 |
| wcapio | aaaah | 09:19 |
| wcapio | might be a font thing, let me check | 09:19 |
| FounderOf420 | good evening fellas | 09:19 |
| wcapio | courrier new is a unicode font, right? | 09:20 |
| FounderOf420 | theres a little quirk in my fresh xubu install. when i login and my DE loads, my partitions and attached devices appear twice on the desktop and in the file tree | 09:21 |
| wcapio | ferni, unicode font does not change the ?????'s | 09:22 |
| FounderOf420 | if i wait a few seconds and then f5 the desktop, the duuplicates will disappear. just wondering what might be causing this | 09:22 |
| FounderOf420 | there are no noticeable problems with anything but it does throw my icon arrangement out of whack every time i login | 09:23 |
| wcapio | well_laid_lawn, how can I have the emulator (or guake fi) work with urxvt rather than xterm? | 09:25 |
| FounderOf420 | i did notice that soon as the desktop loads, the duplicate icons will have the default 'device' icon that you would see in /dev/. and then it quickly changes to the standard hard disk icon. anybody have any thoughts or experience with something like this? | 09:25 |
| well_laid_lawn | wcapio: check out exo-preferred for setting the defaults | 09:27 |
| wcapio | well_laid_lawn, nice one! | 09:29 |
| wcapio | in fact I still had the gnome-terminal installed... | 09:29 |
| wcapio | found it by looking at preferred programs... | 09:29 |
| wcapio | nice | 09:29 |
| wcapio | it allows me to choose character encoding... | 09:30 |
| wcapio | comes in handy when working with non-european languages | 09:30 |
| wcapio | well_laid_lawn, tnx | 09:30 |
| well_laid_lawn | cheers :) | 09:30 |

| GridCube | yeah, ive heard of this before | 13:55 |
| GridCube | you need to manually edit the .desktop files | 13:55 |
| cereal | actually alacarte did that fine for me | 13:55 |
| cereal | it was the ~/.config/menus/applications.menu needed to be named xfce-applications.menu | 13:56 |
| cereal | then just a quick xfdesktop --reload and done | 13:56 |
| GridCube | this is... a serious problem | 13:57 |

| Rulan | so I'm trying to install Linux, first time ever. | 18:16 |
| Rulan | and I'm already confused. | 18:16 |
| unheeding | what confuses you? | 18:17 |
| Rulan | something about partitions | 18:17 |
| Rulan | trying to install 12.10 alongside Windows | 18:18 |
| unheeding | well, first what you want to do is set aside some space on your hard drive | 18:18 |
| Rulan | keeps saying "no root file system is defined", and I'm not really sure what that means. | 18:18 |
| unheeding | Windows has a partition editor, I assume you're using Win7? | 18:18 |
| Rulan | XP | 18:19 |
| unheeding | okay... | 18:19 |
| Rulan | should I create a clean partition in windows first, then try the install again? | 18:20 |
| unheeding | it's best to leave it as unallocated space | 18:20 |
| unheeding | the root file system is mounted at /, it's basically like the C: drive in windows | 18:20 |
| Rulan | I think I'll create the partition first, rather than messing around and trying to do it while installing. | 18:21 |
| unheeding | what i do is make a 20GB filesystem for linux, a swap area that's equal to the amount of RAM, and then use my windows partition to store my media | 18:22 |
| Rulan | swap space is like a page file? | 18:22 |
| unheeding | yeah, it's an extension of your RAM on the hard drive | 18:22 |
| Rulan | I'll go make the partition in windows first. | 18:23 |
| Rulan | thanks for the advice. | 18:23 |
| unheeding | no problem | 18:24 |

| Papa-Smurf | Hi guys | 19:56 |
| Papa-Smurf | is it worth to upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10? | 19:56 |
| Unit193 | Depends, I'd typically look at the release notes and see what's going on. Xfce 4.10 is in there. | 19:57 |
| apm1 | no, it is although worth to switch to debian though :p | 19:57 |
| Papa-Smurf | Unit193, Xfce 4.10 is a plus but what about the 3.5 kernel? | 19:58 |
| WalterN | oh | 20:00 |
| Unit193 | Papa-Smurf: Sure, there's that FS bug, but the idea is normal use doesn't trigger it, and I'm sure a fix will be out soon if it isn't already. | 20:00 |
| Unit193 | !notes | 20:00 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) release notes can be found here http://ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/12.10 | 20:00 |
| WalterN | so... when I add my ethernet printer, the thing wont print with my new 12.10 install... | 20:01 |
| Papa-Smurf | Unit193, where i can read about that FS bug you say? | 20:01 |
| Rulan | I managed to blind myself to about 90% of my hard drive space | 20:01 |
| WalterN | oh thats new | 20:02 |
| Rulan | all I can access via xubuntu is the 20gb partition that it's installed on, not the other 480gb | 20:02 |
| unheeding | you'll have to mount it | 20:02 |
| Rulan | okay? | 20:02 |
| Unit193 | http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTIxNDQ patched two days ago. | 20:02 |
| unheeding | there's a good program called pysdm, but it's not in the main repositories | 20:02 |
| Unit193 | Papa-Smurf: ^ | 20:03 |
| Rulan | righto | 20:03 |
| unheeding | http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=pysdm the precise package works in quantal | 20:04 |
| unheeding | but first you must install the dependencies | 20:04 |
| Papa-Smurf | well i can see in the release notes it is planed to migrate to Python 3 :) | 20:05 |
| Papa-Smurf | thanks Unit193 | 20:05 |
| WalterN | for some reason now there are two printer options, wasent when I first added my printer | 20:06 |
| WalterN | one of them works, the other does not.. *shrug* | 20:06 |
| * WalterN goes back to doing things | 20:07 | |
| Rulan | so I have to install all the packages related to psydm first? | 20:07 |
| WalterN | http://mylittlefacewhen.com/f/3262/ lurk mode | 20:08 |
| unheeding | yup | 20:08 |
| unheeding | ponies, in this chat!? :D | 20:08 |
| Papa-Smurf | hey | 20:09 |
| Papa-Smurf | how is it the Lubuntu version? is it stable? ? | 20:09 |
| Rulan | I must be doing this wrong | 20:10 |
| WalterN | unheeding: they kind of happen all over everywhere... nowhere is safe these days. | 20:10 |
| subman | Could anyone help me setup printing over the internet? | 20:16 |
| WalterN | subman: probably the same as intranet printing, only probably just have to open the ports up on your router (if you have one) | 20:17 |
| subman | yes, but how do you actually add it? What is the internet address? Just my http address of the server? | 20:18 |
| WalterN | the address would be whatismyip.com | 20:18 |
| subman | yes, I understand that. | 20:19 |
| WalterN | what does your network look like? | 20:19 |
| subman | In the 'Add a Printer' dialog which do I use? ipp, ipps, https? | 20:19 |
| subman | I have port 631 open on my router here at the server site | 20:19 |
| WalterN | oh.. hmm | 20:20 |
| === jwkokc is now known as jk_ | ||
| subman | yeah, the mechanics are easy, but those pesky settings are not. | 20:20 |

| subman | This is easy over local network | 20:21 |
| WalterN | yeah :P | 20:21 |
| WalterN | I donno... never went across the internet before | 20:22 |
| subman | I did successfully a few years ago. My memory is not good for that long! | 20:22 |
| WalterN | I know! set up a windows 95 machine and share printer over the net, and use samba printing \o/ | 20:22 |
| subman | lol | 20:23 |

| Papa-Smurf | you can do it with cups | 20:26 |
| subman | Yes, I have the server setup and the router forwarding 631 | 20:26 |
| Papa-Smurf | did you have a look at the Admin Tools? | 20:27 |
| subman | Where, server machine? | 20:27 |
| Papa-Smurf | of course | 20:28 |
| subman | Which Admin Tools? | 20:28 |
| Papa-Smurf | http://localhost:631/ | 20:29 |
| Papa-Smurf | that is the control pannel of your printing server | 20:29 |
| Papa-Smurf | after i check my printer was configured in the admin tab | 20:31 |
| === angela-android is now known as nothingspecial | ||
| Papa-Smurf | i just went to my windows 7 machine | 20:32 |
| subman | Yes but does setting 'Publish shared printers...' and 'Allow printing from the Internet' in the 'Printing' system settings not set this all up? | 20:32 |
| Papa-Smurf | yes | 20:32 |
| subman | Then it should be setup now. | 20:33 |
| Papa-Smurf | Allow printing from the internet | 20:33 |
| subman | For servign | 20:33 |
| subman | Right | 20:33 |
| Papa-Smurf | and copy the name of your printer there | 20:33 |
| Papa-Smurf | then go to windows | 20:33 |
| subman | I have not windows machines! | 20:33 |
| Papa-Smurf | and set a web printer | 20:33 |
| subman | The other machine is also Ubuntu | 20:33 |
| subman | Ubuntu 10.04 actually. | 20:34 |
| Papa-Smurf | in my case i have a xubuntu server serving a bunch of windows terminals | 20:35 |
| subman | Right, mine is a xubuntu machine with the printer. An Ubuntu machine at a remote location wanting to access this printer over the internet | 20:35 |
| Papa-Smurf | but i think that for the Ubuntu case you just have to go to System>Administration>Printing>New ... and put the URL of your printer when it ask | 20:36 |
| micapp | i am a newbie. how can i record a message using a microphone on gnu/linux? | 20:36 |
| subman | Which protocol? ipp, https, ipp14, ipps? | 20:36 |
| WalterN | micapp: yeah, just use audacity | 20:36 |
| subman | And what url? Just my url (for example sandowne.dlinkddns.com)? | 20:37 |
| Papa-Smurf | no | 20:37 |
| subman | This is where I'm stuck | 20:38 |
| Papa-Smurf | mine was something like https://servername:631/printers/nameoftheprinter | 20:39 |
| Rulan | still trying to figure out how to install Psydm | 20:39 |
| subman | Yeah not sure where to find that path | 20:40 |
| Papa-Smurf | but you have to know first in which protocol you are sharing the printer | 20:40 |
| Papa-Smurf | you can see that in the administration panel | 20:40 |
| Papa-Smurf | and the name of the printer as well | 20:40 |
| subman | Very confusing panel to me. Hard to find my way. | 20:40 |
| Papa-Smurf | I learnt how to configure it from google | 20:41 |
| subman | Ah, found it I think! | 20:41 |
| Papa-Smurf | and then play around | 20:42 |
| Papa-Smurf | but i didn't have to modify any file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf or something like this.... | 20:44 |
| subman | No, just trying it now.... | 20:44 |
| Papa-Smurf | Rulan | 20:44 |
| Papa-Smurf | Rulan what is Psydm?? | 20:44 |
| Papa-Smurf | subman try to find if you are sharing your printer through ipp | 20:48 |
| subman | Yeah, looking for that information now. | 20:48 |
| Rulan | trying to get root permission in order to change my partitions, what's the easy way to do it? | 20:49 |
| Papa-Smurf | then you will have to set your printer in ubuntu with a URI like this http://[IP_SERVER]:631/ipp | 20:49 |
| Papa-Smurf | Rulan use Gparted | 20:50 |
| Rulan | need root privs to run it | 20:50 |
| WalterN | sudo gparted | 20:51 |
| Papa-Smurf | Rulan If i were you i will boot with a LiveCD and from there i will make the changes | 20:51 |
| WalterN | or use it on the live CD | 20:51 |
| Rulan | righto | 20:51 |
| micapp | audacity seems overkill for the task. is there a simpler gui option? | 20:51 |
| WalterN | simpler recording programs exist... dont know of any off hand | 20:52 |
| WalterN | micapp: its really not that compicated... there is a record button, a save menu, a stop button, and a pull down menu for the recording device... | 20:53 |
| Papa-Smurf | micapp, there is one from the terminal (the simpler one) its name is arecord | 20:53 |
| Papa-Smurf | or just follow what WalterN says | 20:54 |
| micapp | i recorded a 18 minute test and i could not hear anything after pressing play | 20:54 |
| micapp | sorry 18 second test | 20:54 |
| WalterN | micapp: then select the correct input device? there is a meter thing showing the input levels on audacity, if those are not moving then its the wrong input device | 20:55 |
| WalterN | micapp: oh, to enable metering if you are not recording (so its easier to find the right input device) about in the middle along the top is a microphone icon, second option in the pulldown menu is 'start live metering' or something like that | 20:59 |
| WalterN | "Start Monitoring" | 20:59 |
| micapp | i am sorry but i ma complete newbie and do not understand the instructions | 21:10 |
| micapp | shall i go to audacity' s preferences to modify settings? | 21:12 |
| Rulan | still having trouble with my partitions | 21:18 |
| v1adimir | ?.. | 21:19 |
| Rulan | all I can see is the 20gb partition on which xubuntu is installed, I can see the 440gb partition via GParted | 21:19 |
| Rulan | but I want to access it, and I can't figure out how | 21:19 |
| v1adimir | I must've missed the rest of your conversation | 21:19 |
| Rulan | the rest of it was "how I install xubuntu plz" and "how I partition plz" | 21:20 |
| v1adimir | Rulan: do you have data on the other partition, does the HDD have only the 2 partitions? | 21:20 |
| Rulan | but now I have most of my hdd locked into a partition that I can't even see | 21:20 |
| unheeding | did you manage to get pysdm installed? | 21:20 |
| Rulan | not sure | 21:20 |
| Rulan | reinstalled xubuntu, and finally figured out how to open Gparted but that's about all | 21:21 |
| unheeding | ah okay | 21:21 |
| Rulan | partitions are sda1, which is composed of sda5 (20gb, xubuntu) and sda6 (swap) | 21:21 |
| Rulan | and sda2, which is a 440gb partition | 21:22 |
| v1adimir | you shouldn't need to do anything.. (x)ubuntu should be able to mount/read all partitions on its own | 21:22 |
| Rulan | I would hope that too, but I can't see sda2 on the file system | 21:22 |
| Rulan | also wondering why I have two shortcuts to the 20gb part on my desktop | 21:23 |
| v1adimir | Rulan: there's something seriously wrong if it can't :\ | 21:24 |
| Rulan | walk me through installing pysdm? | 21:28 |
| v1adimir | ^ unheeding :) | 21:28 |
| unheeding | yeah | 21:28 |
| unheeding | sudo apt-get install libblkid1 python python-glade2 python-gtk2 python-support | 21:29 |
| unheeding | ^put that into a terminal, enter your password | 21:29 |
| Rulan | unable to locate libblkidl | 21:30 |
| Rulan | oh wait | 21:30 |
| unheeding | that's a number 1 at the end | 21:30 |
| Rulan | okay sorted that | 21:30 |
| unheeding | okay, go to this page: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/pysdm | 21:31 |
| unheeding | under "Download pysdm" click on "all" and you'll get a .deb file | 21:31 |
| unheeding | after you choose a mirror | 21:31 |
| Rulan | yup | 21:31 |
| Rulan | install via soft centre | 21:31 |
| unheeding | you can do that, or do it via the command line | 21:32 |
| Rulan | got it running | 21:32 |
| Rulan | thanks for that | 21:32 |
| unheeding | it should show your 440gb partition in there | 21:32 |
| Rulan | I see what's wrong, I think | 21:33 |
| Rulan | 440 part has no mountpoint set | 21:33 |
| unheeding | mine is mounted as /media/sda3 | 21:34 |
| unheeding | you might have to create the directory with "mkdir" first | 21:34 |
| Rulan | right? | 21:34 |
| unheeding | so do "mkdir /dev/sda2" if your partition in question is #2 | 21:35 |
| unheeding | in a terminal | 21:35 |
| unheeding | you'll also need to run pysdm as root, using "sudo pysdm" from the command line | 21:36 |
| Rulan | I might just try and do this via reinstall | 21:37 |
| Rulan | can't change the mountpoint through pysdm | 21:37 |
| unheeding | are you running it as root? | 21:37 |
| Rulan | yep | 21:37 |
| unheeding | do you see the little folder icon next to mountpoint? | 21:38 |
| unheeding | that's how you change it | 21:38 |
| Rulan | yeah, it's grey | 21:38 |
| v1adimir | don't reinstall.. be a bit careful, maybe, because I can't see how come your xubuntu is not reading the partitions :f | 21:38 |
| Rulan | gonna have to try a reinstall, and I'll make sure I sort the mounts | 21:44 |
| Rulan | thanks again guys, see you in a bit | 21:44 |
| unheeding | man | 21:50 |
| v1adimir | stress :\ | 21:50 |
| v1adimir | why didn't he just try a LiveCD.. | 21:51 |
| nez | hi guys, sorry for maybe stupid question but after upgrading to 12.10 update manager always says that my system is up to date, is it so? i mean its wierd than theres no updates at all straight after the new release/// | 22:00 |
| nez | * that there's | 22:02 |
| v1adimir | um, they were all fetched with the release update?..;) | 22:02 |
| nez | um, idn.. i've just not so long on xubuntu, but in ubuntu there was usually a lot of updates every day right after upgrading to next release | 22:04 |
| v1adimir | well how long has it been?.. try alt f4 and then logout - restart if you want | 22:04 |
| v1adimir | then sudo apt-get update | 22:04 |

| nez | http://uppix.net/4/c/9/9e642d5cb2f4c4aa3ab8249d3e67d.png | 22:08 |
| nez | В кэше means 'in cache' | 22:09 |
| v1adimir | nez: if you think there's some sort of error and / or pubkey is missing: 1) clean it, plus add the missing key(s) for any PPAs individually: http://askubuntu.com/questions/131601/how-to-overcome-signature-verification-error 2) http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/05/apt-get-update-how-to-solve-no-public-key-available/ (just another look at the same) | 22:11 |
| Rulan | hurrah! partitions are fully functional! | 22:14 |
| nez | but there's no any error messages.. looks like its just dont really checking the servers... but i dont know maybe its just no updates on it | 22:14 |
| v1adimir | Rulan: how did you fix it, in the end?.. | 22:14 |
| Rulan | mount thing | 22:14 |
| v1adimir | kk | 22:14 |
| Rulan | I needed to assign a mount thing to the big partition, so I picked /C | 22:15 |
| nez | have anyone seen any update in update mngr? case I didnt for since i've upgaded | 22:15 |
| Rulan | though it seems I can't paste a file into /C now... | 22:18 |
| Rulan | one problem after another | 22:18 |
| xubuntu900 | nez: Update manager works fine for me | 22:19 |
| nez | ok, thanks | 22:24 |
| Rulan | I think I need to edit permissions for /C, using the terminal | 22:25 |
| Rulan | help? | 22:25 |
| Rulan | aha! sorted! | 22:27 |
| Rulan | I think? | 22:28 |
| holstein | !chown | 22:29 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 22:29 |
| Rulan | YES! | 22:29 |
| Rulan | LEVEL UP! | 22:29 |

| xubuntu968 | Hello everyone, I would like to ask how can I write greek letters in xubuntu (in winxp I used the control panel->regional languages etc) | 23:35 |
| Marzatha | !keyboard | 23:43 |
| ubottu | To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard | KDE: System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout | XFCE: Settings -> Settings Manager -> Keyboard, Layout | 23:43 |
| xubuntu968 | Thank you very much! I did it, it is working. Is there a fast way to switch, in windows I used alt+shift to switch fromgreek to english.. | 23:54 |
| Marzatha | xubuntu968: just add the keyboard applet to the panel, and choose a button to switch, here is the left_win | 23:57 |
| xubuntu968 | Ohh yes I see, I did right click on the panel etc etc and is working fine, with a click it switches.. Thank you very much! | 23:59 |
