| innmalint | I'm having difficulties with my bootloader; I guess a good starting point would be to ask what bootloader Xubuntu uses? I'm trying to get a GRUB or GRUB2 menu to show my windows HDD upon startup. | 01:59 |
| bazhang | grub2 | 02:00 |
| well_laid_lawn | innmalint: xubuntu uses grub2 and you should hold down the shift key during boot to have the menu show | 02:00 |
| innmalint | Thanks! I couldn't find a direct answer. I | 02:01 |
| innmalint | *I'm sure there's a way to change that configuration, off to Google. Am I right in guessing there is a config file to edit in order to get the menu by default? | 02:02 |
| well_laid_lawn | !grub | 02:03 |
| 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) | 02:03 |

| Maccer | Can someone verify for me? Can anyone take a screenshot and save it to clipboard and then paste it to a site like imgur.com or application like GIMP? I sure can't without selecting the screenshot in clipman. | 03:54 |
| MrHotsauce | Maccer: in the latest version of xubuntu you can simply press the print screen button and a dialog should show up select the "copy yo clipboard" bubble and you should be good to go | 03:56 |
| MrHotsauce | to* | 03:56 |
| Maccer | MrHotsauce: Yes I realize, but no parsable data is being copied to it. Imgur says I'm using an incorrect format until I use clipman to select it. Gimp and other applications hang as they attempt to paste the screenshot. | 03:59 |
| MrHotsauce | hm thats strange....i dont really know how you would fix that mine seems to work fine =\ | 04:02 |
| Maccer | Yeah... this is odd, my screenshots only paste if the screenshooter is running. | 04:19 |
| unheeding | I installed KDE, and now the KDE GTK settings override the Xfce appearance settings, can anyone help me? | 04:49 |
| holstein | unheeding: maybe some apps start with qt prefs?.. you want to purge the KDE stuff? or theme it? | 04:49 |
| unheeding | I want to use a different theme in Xfce than what is specified by KDE Settings | 04:50 |
| unheeding | changing the "Style" under appearance in Xfce settings does nothing | 04:50 |
| holstein | unheeding: the kde apps will probably look "funny" | 04:50 |
| unheeding | but if I change the GTK setting in KDE Preferences, it overrides my Xfce preferences | 04:51 |
| unheeding | even when i log out of kde and switch to xfce | 04:51 |
| holstein | unheeding: i would expect "issues" | 04:53 |
| holstein | unheeding: i might look at something that ships both and does a good job with it.. see how they address it | 04:53 |
| holstein | unheeding: i typically just install the few kde apps i need and deal with it... im not a big "asthetics" person though | 04:56 |
| unheeding | i just want to use different themes for GTK apps in KDE and xfce | 04:57 |
| holstein | unheeding: maybe something like https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uniform_Look_for_Qt_and_GTK_Applications ..maybe we have something like that for ubuntu | 04:57 |
| holstein | unheeding: sure... im just not sure why changing them isnt working for you | 04:57 |
| unheeding | oh well... thanks for your help holstein | 05:01 |
| unheeding | i think i'm just going to nuke it | 05:01 |
| holstein | i would just try applying some themes and see what happens | 05:05 |
| holstein | take some screenshots | 05:05 |
| holstein | its challenging, since you are so far outside the default supported range of the software | 05:06 |
| holstein | im sure there is a way, but it would be "easy" | 05:06 |
| unheeding | yeah everything works perfectly for kde | 05:06 |
| unheeding | i just wish that i could get everything to play nice with one another | 05:07 |
| holstein | and you can... but it'll require somre research and patience | 05:07 |
| unheeding | like i'd love to have KDE/GNOME/MATE/Cinnamon/Xfce/Lxde/Windowmaker all without conflicting with each other | 05:07 |
| holstein | i would take screenies and post them ...im still not wure what the deal is | 05:08 |
| unheeding | i should start a SUPERbuntu | 05:08 |
| holstein | there is a project. | 05:08 |
| holstein | i'll link it.. thats what i was talking about.. just look at someone who is already doing what you are trying to do | 05:09 |
| holstein | http://www.hybryde.org/ | 05:09 |
| holstein | Kde, Gnome3, Unity, E17, XFCE, LXDE, OPENBOX et FVWM | 05:10 |
| holstein | should give you an idea of how they are dealing with the asthetics.. | 05:10 |

| Atamira | darn it | 09:17 |
| Atamira | why cant i move the items on my taskbar? they seem stuck even tho i have unlocked the panel options | 09:17 |
| knome | unlocking the panel doesn't affect that. right-click and select move to move items | 09:19 |
| Atamira | yeah, tried, that | 09:19 |
| Atamira | not working either | 09:19 |
| Transfusion | alt-right click | 09:20 |
| Atamira | does what? doesnt seem to do anything on my side Transfusion | 09:20 |
| Atamira | i just want to move that item ie my clock to the other side of the taskbar..and it wont move | 09:21 |
| knome | Atamira, after selecting move, drag and drop | 09:23 |
| Atamira | i can move it between taskbars..from 1 to 2..but i cant move it along the task bar for some reason | 09:23 |
| Atamira | maybe its a group thing..mmm | 09:23 |
| knome | Atamira, what version of xubuntu are you using? | 09:26 |
| Atamira | 12.10 | 09:26 |
| Atamira | updated it this afternoon | 09:26 |
| knome | Atamira, ok. you can always right-click the panel, select panel -> panel preferences and in the items tab, reorder the panel applets (just pick the panel you want to edit from the dropdown box at the top first!) | 09:27 |
| Atamira | yes ive done that. but i want the clock in the right hand cover..right now they are all clumped together on the left hand side with this big open space on the right hand side | 09:28 |
| knome | right. then you need to add a separator to the left | 09:29 |
| knome | and make it expand | 09:29 |
| Atamira | the separator? | 09:29 |
| knome | or separator left to the clock | 09:29 |
| knome | yes, the separator | 09:29 |
| Atamira | oh that works..great ! | 09:31 |
| Atamira | can you limit or adjust the size of that separator? | 09:31 |
| knome | not really | 09:31 |
| knome | but you can add other expanding separators... but not sure if that's what you want | 09:32 |
| Atamira | no its not, but its ok. its looking the way i want it to now, t hanks | 09:32 |
| Atamira | didnt know you could expand the separators | 09:32 |
| knome | no problem | 09:32 |
| knome | i suppose it's confusing especially for new users who accidentally remove the separator | 09:33 |
| Atamira | only new to xfce. normally i use gnome | 09:34 |
| ablomen_oops | Hey, since the new version of xubuntu, my bookmarks in thunar, are different from those in for example gedit. I presume this means xfce uses it's own system for this now, but is there a way to link these two together? | 10:43 |
| ablomen_oops | (with bookmarks i mean folders dragged into the sidebar of thunar, same with the document open dialog in gedit etc) | 10:43 |
| habib | hey everyone. just installed xubuntu and for few hours ubuntu software center worked ok. but now install button just doesnt work. Can anyone help? | 11:14 |
| habib | hallo | 11:16 |
| TheSheep | "doesn't work"? | 11:16 |
| habib | yeah | 11:16 |
| habib | i click it and it doesn't respond | 11:16 |
| TheSheep | !doesn't work | 11:16 |
| ubottu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 11:16 |
| habib | but the software center is still working | 11:16 |
| habib | as i said doewn't work only button install | 11:17 |
| habib | i click it and it just doesn't respond | 11:17 |
| TheSheep | I have no idea what you mean | 11:17 |
| TheSheep | is it grayed out? | 11:17 |
| habib | yes | 11:17 |
| habib | it isn't active | 11:17 |
| knome | isn't those applications installed? | 11:18 |
| habib | no it isn't | 11:18 |
| habib | for example | 11:18 |
| habib | i type in "chromium" | 11:18 |
| TheSheep | is it already installing something now? | 11:18 |
| habib | and it gives out list of programs | 11:18 |
| habib | no it isn't installing | 11:18 |
| habib | i click to install button infront of chromium and it just doesn't respond | 11:19 |
| TheSheep | habib: can you start the software-center from a terminal and see if it shows any errors in there? | 11:19 |
| habib | i tried to launch it from term : sudo software-center | 11:20 |
| habib | and it gave me this: http://pastebin.com/k4Hy7gXV | 11:22 |
| habib | and even if i download something .deb like, and launch it, software center opens and "install" button still doesn't respond | 11:24 |
| TheSheep | habib: are you doing updates right now? | 11:24 |
| habib | i allready did | 11:25 |
| habib | and id done | 11:25 |
| habib | it done | 11:25 |
| habib | lat's say i've just updated | 11:26 |
| TheSheep | updates also count as installing new software, and while they run, you cannot install anything else | 11:27 |
| habib | but if it's done? | 11:28 |
| habib | the update | 11:29 |
| TheSheep | try it now | 11:29 |
| habib | afk | 11:29 |
| habib | back | 11:39 |
| habib | i'll try to reload | 11:39 |
| habib | i've reloade pc and software center still doesn't give respond when i clik install | 11:49 |
| djtf | What are you trying to install? | 11:49 |
| habib | chromium or java | 11:50 |
| habib | different programs only to get it working | 11:51 |
| bazhang | !info chromium-browser | 11:51 |
| ubottu | chromium-browser (source: chromium-browser): Chromium browser. In component universe, is optional. Version 20.0.1132.47~r144678-0ubuntu5 (quantal), package size 22391 kB, installed size 82066 kB | 11:51 |
| bazhang | habib, ^ | 11:52 |
| habib | yeah? | 11:52 |
| bazhang | see above | 11:53 |
| bazhang | !java | habib | 11:53 |
| ubottu | habib: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 11:53 |
| habib | i'm trying other programs | 12:05 |
| habib | still doesn't work | 12:06 |
| bazhang | habib, install from ubuntu repos, not from some random 3rd party site | 12:10 |
| bazhang | habib, I just told you the correct package name to install | 12:10 |
| bazhang | habib, and gave you a link to read on installing java. Please read it. | 12:10 |
| bazhang | habib, chromium-browser <---------- the package name | 12:11 |
| habib | how to set correct repos then? | 12:11 |
| habib | thnx | 12:11 |
| bazhang | in the package manager | 12:12 |
| habib | oh come on)) i'm third week in xubuntu) | 12:12 |
| bazhang | habib, then you should read some links on basic ubuntu usage | 12:13 |
| bazhang | !repos | habib | 12:13 |
| ubottu | habib: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 12:13 |
| bazhang | !software | habib | 12:13 |
| ubottu | habib: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 12:13 |
| bazhang | habib, you should read those, then try to do what I have advised in respect to chromium-browser and java | 12:14 |
| Atamira | ok odd. i loaded a cd to play earlier, and now i end up with two icons. one of the actual disc, and one that says its the disk but its empty and yet will open and close my dvd player . even tho there is nothing in the dvd player | 12:17 |
| habib | ok bazhang look. what if i install xubuntu with correct internet connection and first time software center worked ok. then xubuntu checked for updates, installed it, and then software center stoped to work? I can chose any program u say and it wont install | 12:34 |
| habib | i know about ways of installation | 12:35 |
| habib | i know about apt-get and synaptic | 12:35 |
| GridCube | habib, wich version of xubuntu are you using, i had a similar problem at the first weeks of 12.04 | 12:40 |
| habib | 12.10 | 12:40 |
| GridCube | i see, please try to launch usc from a terminal and see the warnings it gives you, disregard the ones about gtk3 | 12:41 |
| GridCube | particularly look for warnings regarding the gnome-keyring | 12:42 |
| habib | http://pastebin.com/k4Hy7gXV | 12:42 |
| habib | GridCube, http://pastebin.com/k4Hy7gXV | 12:42 |
| GridCube | lets see | 12:42 |
| habib | there even button "use this source" is gray | 12:44 |
| GridCube | habib, try launching usc using sudo | 12:45 |
| GridCube | gksu actually | 12:45 |
| habib | same thing | 12:47 |
| habib | http://pastebin.com/5wkz3C3K | 12:47 |
| habib | and it says that i have no network connection | 12:49 |
| GridCube | mmmmhmmm | 12:51 |
| GridCube | how very weird | 12:51 |
| habib | yeah | 12:51 |
| GridCube | habib, do you have external ppa's¡ | 12:52 |
| GridCube | ? | 12:52 |
| habib | what is it? | 12:52 |
| GridCube | a ppa? | 12:53 |
| GridCube | if you dont know then you dont have them | 12:53 |
| habib | )) | 12:53 |
| habib | yeah and allso i tryed this. i went to chrome.google.com and it offered me chrome stable version for linux | 12:54 |
| habib | a .deb kind | 12:54 |
| habib | i downloaded it | 12:54 |
| habib | and opened. and it opened in ubuntu software center. but install button is gray | 12:55 |
| GridCube | habib, mmm yes, try this | 13:03 |
| habib | so it doesn't work | 13:03 |
| habib | i did | 13:04 |
| GridCube | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove | 13:04 |
| GridCube | you have something blocking you somewhere | 13:04 |
| GridCube | habib, ? | 13:11 |
| habib | GridCube, in progress | 13:12 |
| habib | didn't work | 13:13 |
| habib | afk 5 min | 13:13 |
| GridCube | ok | 13:13 |
| GridCube | :) habib try this http://freshtutorial.com/solve-unable-lock-administration-directory-varlibdpkg/ | 13:14 |
| habib | didn't work) | 13:30 |
| ali1234 | i'm trying to install xubuntu 12.10 in virtualbox and it just hangs at the first step of the installer: http://ubuntuone.com/2t8PX13u46VjjYhS9GJAD0 | 13:32 |
| === Htbrdd- is now known as Htbrdd | ||

| ali1234 | 20 minutes | 13:39 |
| GridCube | ali1234, how much memory have you given to the vbox? | 13:41 |
| ali1234 | 2GB | 13:42 |
| GridCube | o: | 13:42 |
| GridCube | thats a lot, and for video the same? | 13:42 |
| ali1234 | it was enough for mint and ubuntu | 13:42 |
| ali1234 | for video? | 13:42 |
| ali1234 | 12MB | 13:42 |
| GridCube | mmmm it should be enough, but more wouldnt hurt | 13:43 |
| ali1234 | i don't really see how you can run linux in less than 2GB on 64bit | 13:43 |
| ali1234 | this machine has 16GB and it's only just enough | 13:43 |
| GridCube | i do, 1.5 P: | 13:43 |
| GridCube | nah, you dont need that much | 13:44 |
| ali1234 | VMs i'm not just using for scratch testing i normally give 4 or 8GB | 13:44 |
| ali1234 | but anywhoo | 13:44 |
| ali1234 | maybe it's because i'm reusing the disk image that i just installed mint on | 13:46 |
| ali1234 | the installer does say "you already have ubuntu 12.10 installed" so maybe mint confuses it due to being incompatible | 13:46 |
| ali1234 | ^ it says that *when it works* i mean :) | 13:47 |
| ali1234 | 5 days battery from SGS... amazing | 13:48 |
| ali1234 | that's almost half what my C7 can do :) | 13:48 |
| GridCube | ali1234, it should give you the option to install alongside with no problem | 13:48 |
| GridCube | but i dont know mint | 13:48 |
| ali1234 | it doesn't give those options any more in 12.10 | 13:49 |
| ali1234 | you now get "erase ubuntu 12.10 and install" or "something else" | 13:49 |
| ali1234 | where something else => manual configuration | 13:49 |
| ali1234 | when i installed mint that's what it gave me. mint is 12.10 but not a proper respin like xubuntu | 13:49 |
| GridCube | mmmm no. it should give you the option | 13:50 |
| ali1234 | well, only if xubuntu patched it back into ubiquity | 13:51 |

| ali1234 | now wiping host drive with dd... | 13:58 |
| ali1234 | so does xfce use gtk2 or gtk3 themes? | 13:59 |
| TheSheep | ali1234: xfce uses gtk2, but xubuntu ships both gtk2 and gtk3 applications | 14:04 |
| ali1234 | but which does it use fr themes? | 14:04 |
| TheSheep | ali1234: as I said | 14:04 |
| ali1234 | so it will have all the same problems that MATE has, when using gtk3 applications? | 14:05 |
| TheSheep | I have no idea what is MATE and what problems it has | 14:05 |
| ali1234 | MATE is a desktop based on gtk2 | 14:06 |
| ali1234 | when you run gtk3 applications under it, they appear unthemed | 14:06 |
| TheSheep | ali1234: xubuntu ships with themes that support both gtk2 and gtk3, so as long as you don't try to use a custom theme that lacks gtk3 support, everything works fine | 14:07 |
| ali1234 | you can force an override by setting symlinks in /home but because gtk2 and gtk3 has totally different themes, anything done in gtk3 (which is pretty much everything) never looks like the desktop | 14:07 |
| ali1234 | yeah, that's the problem. i don't want to use the default themes | 14:07 |
| ali1234 | i want to use radiance, but it has no properly working gtk2 version | 14:08 |
| TheSheep | ali1234: then use non-default themes that have gtk3 support | 14:08 |
| TheSheep | ali1234: I use radiance even as we speak and it looks fine | 14:08 |
| ali1234 | so i end up using radiance for gtk3 and clearlooks for gtk2 and it looks like ass | 14:08 |
| ali1234 | well, we shall see | 14:08 |
| ali1234 | if i ever get past the first screen of the installer | 14:08 |
| TheSheep | good luck | 14:09 |
| razvan | how to make my flash based games to work more smooth... ?? | 14:10 |
| razvan | online flash games | 14:10 |
| GridCube | untick hardware acceleration on the flash options | 14:11 |
| ali1234 | HA | 14:11 |
| ali1234 | wiping mint from the drive allows the installer to work | 14:11 |
| ali1234 | had to dd zeros over it | 14:12 |
| razvan | ok thanks | 14:13 |
| ali1234 | ok, now it is stuck at "retrieving file 43 of 117" - which is odd because i told it not to download anything, because the VM does not have an internet connection | 14:30 |
| ali1234 | been stuck for 15 minutes now | 14:30 |
| recon_lap | ali1234: have you tried pressing esc? | 14:32 |
| ali1234 | i have now | 14:32 |
| ali1234 | as i expected, it did absolutely nothing | 14:33 |
| ali1234 | oh, wait, there's a skip button now? | 14:33 |
| ali1234 | ok, clicking that a couple of times made it continue | 14:33 |
| ali1234 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1081632 | 14:39 |

| ali1234 | affects main ubuntu isos too | 14:40 |
| ali1234 | oh, xubuntu finished installing | 14:40 |
| ali1234 | then the installer dumps you at a command prompt? seriously? | 14:40 |
| GridCube | no | 14:41 |
| GridCube | it should have worked | 14:41 |
| GridCube | you probably just need to make a new virtual disk, i've never had this much problems | 14:42 |
| ali1234 | what's the difference between xubuntu session and xfce session? | 14:44 |
| ali1234 | why has it popped up a notification telling me there is information available? why not just put the information into the notification? | 14:45 |
| TheSheep | ali1234: the difference is in the default layout of the panels | 14:46 |
| TheSheep | ali1234: the xubuntu one has the layout based on old ubuntu, with narrow panels at the top and the bottom of the screen | 14:46 |
| TheSheep | ali1234: the xfce one has xfce's default layout | 14:46 |
| ali1234 | that's not true | 14:46 |
| ali1234 | the xubuntu session has a thin panel at the top and a dock at the bottom | 14:47 |
| ali1234 | and the xfce session has identical panels and the default xfce mouse background instead of the xubutu background | 14:47 |
| ali1234 | yes, the dfference is it has a different background image | 14:47 |
| GridCube | and menu icons and options | 14:48 |
| GridCube | and themes | 14:48 |
| GridCube | and support for default software and settings | 14:48 |
| ali1234 | yes, the theme is quite different | 14:54 |
| ali1234 | xubuntu session looks like this: http://ubuntuone.com/7VwYXGwp0VHjHJxNDNYFzj | 14:58 |

| baizon | ali1234: what theme is this? | 15:00 |
| ali1234 | no idea | 15:01 |
| ali1234 | it's what you get when you install xubuntu | 15:01 |
| ali1234 | i haven't even looked in the settings yet | 15:01 |
| GridCube | ali1234, we do, you mixed things up | 15:02 |
| GridCube | thats not the default theme, the default theme is greybird | 15:03 |
| GridCube | you changed it | 15:03 |
| ali1234 | right, ok | 15:03 |
| ali1234 | i changed it | 15:03 |
| ali1234 | i'm just making stuff up to troll you | 15:03 |
| bazhang | ali1234, no need for that | 15:04 |
| GridCube | ali1234, i dont see why you would but if it makes you feel better | 15:04 |
| GridCube | ali1234, you *had* to do something, are you using a different /home/ than the default? are you carrying config files from mint? | 15:04 |
| ali1234 | no, i wiped /dev/sda with dd in order to make the installer even work, see the bug i posted | 15:07 |
| GridCube | yes i remember now | 15:07 |
| GridCube | well i dont know ali1234 but thats not the default theme, you have there, something is wrong, but i dont know what that is | 15:07 |

| nantou | separate em | 16:20 |
| baizon | ? | 16:21 |
| baizon | i dont understand your question | 16:21 |
| nantou | i have several log, cue and ape files. I want to extract the single FLAC files from each of the log, ape and cue files | 16:22 |
| ali1234 | ape is an audio format, cue is a file which describes tracks on an audio cd | 16:24 |
| ali1234 | so i'm guessing the question is "how do i split an ape audio file into tracks based on the cue file?" | 16:24 |

| bleubox | anyone here have experience with a broken package manager? | 17:31 |
| bleubox | i was mid-update and the power cord got yanked, causing something to go wrong with libqt | 17:31 |
| bleubox | the usual sudo apt-get install -f doesn't help, i'm afraid | 17:32 |
| v1adimir | uh sudo apt-get --help | 17:32 |
| v1adimir | and purge the downloaded | 17:32 |
| v1adimir | maybe :) | 17:33 |
| bleubox | purge the downloaded? through clean? | 17:34 |
| genii-around | I'd suggest to delete all the files in /var/lib/apt/lists too | 17:34 |
| bleubox | (and thanks) | 17:34 |
| bleubox | hm, okay | 17:34 |
| v1adimir | bleubox: not 100% sure | 17:35 |
| bleubox | vladimir: okay, thanks :) | 17:35 |
| v1adimir | bleubox: man apt-get says 'purge is identical to remove except that packages are removed and purged (any configuration files are deleted too).' so looks like i was totally wrong | 17:35 |
| bleubox | vladimir: ah, man. how useful it is. okay, that makes sense | 17:36 |

| siim | can someone please help me, I cant get my wireless to work. | 17:45 |
| siim | non of the network is showing up on that tray icon | 17:45 |
| bleubox | siim: is this a new install? | 17:46 |
| siim | yes | 17:46 |
| siim | i got it to work somehow(noob) but after restart it wont work anymore and i dont remember what did i do | 17:47 |
| bleubox | siim: i've had problems getting xubuntu to remember my settings too | 17:47 |
| bleubox | siim: i'm also new at this | 17:47 |
| bleubox | siim: but I'll try to help | 17:47 |
| bleubox | siim: so the network icon shows up but no networks show up there? | 17:48 |
| siim | only that one wired network im using right now | 17:48 |
| bleubox | genii-around: i think you had the key there | 17:49 |
| bleubox | genii-around: thanks! | 17:49 |
| bleubox | siim: do you know much about networks? does yours broadcast its SSID? | 17:50 |
| genii-around | bleubox: Glad to assist. | 17:50 |
| siim | sorry no | 17:51 |
| bleubox | siim: i'd suggest trying to manually create a new wireless network through the menu bar item and add your network that way | 17:53 |
| siim | how to i connect to it .. im actually trying to do an adhoc | 17:55 |
| siim | i dont have my own wifi here | 17:56 |
| bleubox | siim: i'm afraid you're outside my expertise, then. i'm not sure how to do ad hoc | 17:58 |

| barney | I am setting up a lenovo w530 laptop and trying to get the vga to work ... My second screen is now showing the "boot" background but how do I get it to duplicate the laptop screen? | 17:59 |
| GridCube | try setting them up using arandr | 18:01 |
| barney | Thanks will give that a try ... | 18:02 |
| GridCube | also check the keyboard fn keys, they usually cycle between modes | 18:03 |
| david_ | OK .. I installed arandr but found that I could simply drag windows from one side to the other. My problem really is that I want to be able to duplicate my laptop display on a second display ... any ideas there? | 18:17 |
| nantou | HELP! I am splitting a CUE-APE file into several audio files. I am following the instructions that can be found at http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/split-ape-and-flac-files-in-ubuntu-and.html, but I have a problem with the MAC package, as xubuntu 12.10 says it is dangerous for the system. Where can I find a stable MAC package? alternatively, what other way of splitting the APE-CUE would you suggest? | 18:26 |
| recon_lap | david_ thought that was the default behavior. | 18:29 |
| recon_lap | david_ opps, I use xrandr | 18:33 |
| nantou | pacman -S cuetools shntool flac wavpack mac mp3info vorbis-tools <-- executes pacman the game, how do I install that bundle of files? | 18:34 |
| genii-around | nantou: *buntu ditributions use apt-get, not pacman | 18:36 |
| genii-around | !apt-get | nantou | 18:36 |
| ubottu | nantou: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE) | 18:36 |
| nantou | thx genii-around , any idea where to find a stable mac? Unable to locate package mac | 18:38 |
| genii-around | nantou: It would help to know what that package was for on the platform you are trying to run the instructions for. | 18:42 |
| nantou | genii-around, i am discovering things as I write, and I cannot explain any better | 18:42 |
| genii-around | The URL you gave earlier does not contain the "pacman -S cuetools shntool flac wavpack mac mp3info vorbis-tools" command you were trying, so it's a bit difficult to assist with incomplete information. | 18:44 |
| nantou | o sorry | 18:48 |
| nantou | genii-around, please disregard the pacman line | 18:49 |
| genii-around | nantou: It seems this "mac" package is the codecs for the APE proprietary format. https://launchpad.net/~g-christ/+archive/ppa seems to have a current version. | 18:53 |
| nantou | thanks genii-around , but the line "Using this PPA can break your system without prior notice!" scares me | 18:54 |
| genii-around | nantou: Yes, since Personal Package Archives are not officially sanctioned packages, installing them can be dangerous since they are not audited and so on. But the majority of them are very safe. | 18:57 |

| knome | xubuntu663, is there a specific problem? | 19:38 |
| xubuntu663 | i have the iso burned on a cd, i boot through the cd, select install bu tehen nothing happens! | 19:38 |
| xubuntu663 | just a underscore flashing.. | 19:38 |
| nantou | well_laid_lawn, then I have a problem, new files are not there | 19:38 |
| xubuntu663 | well, the laptop has WinXP already installed, but i want to format and install Xub | 19:39 |
| xubuntu663 | knome, do you have a solution for me? | 19:40 |
| xubuntu663 | anyone? | 19:42 |
| well_laid_lawn | xubuntu663: sounds like it might be a graphics driver issue | 19:43 |
| xubuntu663 | hummm... and the graphics driver prevents the xubuntu boot installer to proceed with a clean install? | 19:44 |
| xubuntu663 | the graphics card is a laptop mobile ATI Radeon | 19:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | I don't know that much about ati but that should be ok | 19:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | did you check the cd? | 19:46 |

| VividReality | Hello, I just bought a new screen, but the preferred resolutions aren't available, how do I get them? | 20:13 |
| xubuntu663 | dont know how to use md5sum.... :| forget it... i'll install winXP instead | 20:14 |
| VividReality | I have an AMD HD 9650 graphics card. | 20:15 |
| VividReality | 6950* whoops. | 20:16 |
| VividReality | So I would think it could handle the resolution. | 20:16 |
| VividReality | The screen can go up to 1920 * 1080 | 20:17 |
| knome | VividReality, do you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 20:17 |
| VividReality | How do I know if I do? | 20:17 |
| knome | VividReality, try to open that in a text editor, or 'ls' for the directory it in the terminal (ls /etc/X11) | 20:18 |
| VividReality | Should I use that driver then? | 20:18 |
| VividReality | Instead of AMD propetiary? | 20:18 |
| knome | VividReality, no, this is not about drivers. if you have an old xorg.conf, that might be the reason why you're not having the new modes visible | 20:19 |
| VividReality | Oh okay, thank you. | 20:19 |
| knome | VividReality, but let's check that first | 20:19 |
| VividReality | Do you mean this? xorg.conf.original-0 | 20:19 |
| knome | no, just "xorg.conf" | 20:20 |
| VividReality | No I don't. | 20:20 |
| knome | ok | 20:20 |
| knome | if you type 'xrandr' in a terminal, do you see your new display with appropriate modes listed? | 20:20 |
| knome | (if you want to paste it, please use a pastebin) | 20:21 |
| knome | !pastebin | 20:21 |

| VividReality | It seems it lists my old screen | 20:21 |
| VividReality | It thinks it's a CRT | 20:21 |
| VividReality | And not the appropiate modes, no. | 20:22 |
| VividReality | Here you go http://pastebin.com/pY4A1HEi | 20:23 |
| david_ | Does anyone here know the location of the configuration files for desktop launcher items? | 20:24 |
| knome | VividReality, what happens if you type 'xrandr --output CRT1 --mode [insert some mode you're not using now]' ? | 20:25 |
| knome | david_, application launchers are at /usr/share/applications/ | 20:25 |
| VividReality | xrandr: cannot find mode 1920x1080 | 20:26 |
| knome | VividReality, try one of the modes listed in the output, to see if your monitor is "CRT1" :) | 20:26 |
| VividReality | Oh I am sorry. | 20:26 |
| knome | np | 20:26 |
| david_ | knome, I created a custom launcher with specific arguments. I am remotely logged in and wanted to get the args I used. | 20:27 |
| VividReality | It seems to be the one :P | 20:27 |
| knome | david_, i suppose those are in ~/.local | 20:27 |
| VividReality | It set my monitor to that mode. | 20:28 |
| knome | VividReality, try adding the new mode with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding_undetected_resolutions | 20:28 |
| david_ | knome, This is a launcher in the panel. | 20:29 |
| knome | david_, those should be in the same place, the files are called ".desktop"-files, because that's the file extension | 20:30 |
| knome | david_, ~/.local/share/applications | 20:30 |
| bearly230 | Hello all, would anyone have an idea why on a clean install of xubuntu 12.10 the default file manager is slow to open. IE takes up to 2 mins to open the first time or if it's been closed for a while. | 20:31 |
| david_ | knome, Thanks for your help. You got me in the right direction. It was .config/xfce/panel/launcher-[id].rc | 20:32 |
| knome | david_, sure, np | 20:32 |
| david_ | bearly230, Are you trolling? IE? | 20:33 |
| knome | "i.e." == "id est" == "for example" | 20:33 |
| knome | (i imagine...) | 20:33 |
| david_ | I hope | 20:34 |
| bearly230 | david_: No I'm not a troll, I'm serious. This is a new machine, where I put xubuntu on it this morning, only thing I've done is the patches, and installed libreoffice. But if I go to open the file manager to open one of my documents. It will take up to 2 mins the first time I open it. If I've had it closed for a while it will be slow to open again. But once it's opened I can open / close no problem until it sits for a while. | 20:35 |
| bearly230 | david_: doesn't happen on my laptop, just this new hp machine. | 20:36 |
| knome | bearly230, if you're not using network drives, installing gvfs-backends should make it open much faster | 20:36 |
| bearly230 | Thanks I'll give that a try. | 20:36 |
| bearly230 | david_: says it's already installed and newest version. | 20:37 |
| knome | bearly230, sorry. i meant *uninstalling* | 20:38 |
| knome | bearly230, i'm not thinking too straight anymore | 20:38 |
| bearly230 | k will give that a try. | 20:38 |
| bearly230 | knome: brb going to restart and check it out. | 20:39 |
| bearly230 | That worked, thanks. | 20:49 |

| prpl | I have an ext4fs partition that I created for storage but it's owned by root and Thunar does not offer the "change of ownership" option that Nautilus does. How do I resolve this please ? | 23:27 |
| prpl | I have spent time googling this | 23:28 |
| torax | you can change the owner with chown | 23:29 |
| prpl | opennterminal at the location ? | 23:29 |
| prpl | any tips torax ? | 23:30 |
| prpl | Everyone myust hyave to do this | 23:30 |
| torax | http://askubuntu.com/questions/6723/change-folder-permissions-and-ownership | 23:30 |
| knome | or, see what fstab says | 23:31 |
| knome | (if it's automounted) | 23:31 |
| prpl | it is automaounted | 23:31 |
| prpl | I can see it and open it but cant writ5e to it | 23:31 |
| prpl | I dont recall this as an issue before | 23:32 |
| prpl | thanks for the link..I did read it before but was hoping for some hidden gui trick before I tried chown | 23:35 |
| prpl | Maybe I'll just reformat to ntfs | 23:36 |
| knome | i wouldn't suggest that if you're using the drive with linux | 23:37 |
| prpl | Its just like a windows partition.... | 23:37 |
| prpl | You mean defragging ? | 23:38 |
| knome | no, i mean i wouldn't suggest ntfs | 23:38 |
| knome | there might be some problems with ntfs and linux | 23:38 |
| prpl | linux meaning xubuntu ? | 23:39 |
| knome | xubuntu, too | 23:40 |
| prpl | I am actuallyb trying to move away from partitioning storage in ntfs | 23:40 |
| PhoenixSTF | prpl, xubuntu is linux based kernel. so everything that goes for linux, xubuntu inherits | 23:40 |
| prpl | I am used to dragging a windows xp around so it works best as a share between xp and linux | 23:41 |
| prpl | ntfs that is | 23:41 |
| prpl | So out of habit I create ntfs storage partitions | 23:42 |
| prpl | The ext4 requires permission alteration. In nautilus it's a piece of cake | 23:42 |
| PhoenixSTF | well if dropping windows is not a option, you can always make a exfat partition with your home windows folders | 23:43 |
| PhoenixSTF | i don't know if exfat works on linux | 23:43 |
| PhoenixSTF | otherwise, fat32 works just fine | 23:43 |
| prpl | fat has the 4gb issue though I want to figure out the exta...no xp on this hdd | 23:44 |
| prpl | ext4* | 23:44 |
| PhoenixSTF | then is ntfs... dont install linux on a ntfs | 23:45 |
| prpl | I have xubuntu on a 10 gb partition...ext4...and another partition 30 gb ext4 that requires ownership adjustment so II can access it as username | 23:46 |
| prpl | I* | 23:46 |
| prpl | thats where I am now | 23:46 |
| prpl | the second empty partition is root owned | 23:47 |
| prpl | I am used to nautilus wher it can be easily changed, the ownership ... | 23:48 |
| prpl | I must learn how to change the ownership using the chown command I believe but now must figure out the actual content of the command that follows sudo chown | 23:49 |
| prpl | -R username: group directory....what is the group and is the directory the UUID of the partition ? | 23:53 |
| recon_lap | group is the group you what the directory to belong to and directory is the directory you want to change, -R is recursive | 23:56 |
| recon_lap | prpl: UUID's would be used at the partition level in fstab | 23:57 |
| prpl | recon_lap...I renamed the partition to "26GB_EXT4_Storge" so I know what it is at all times | 23:58 |
| recon_lap | prpl: I not really a expert, but you at the file system level now, so you working from mount point | 23:59 |
| prpl | so its location will be /media/26GB_EXT4_Storge " | 23:59 |
| prpl | ? | 23:59 |
