[02:43] <jeffrey1> Hey guys, wondering how to get an icon in my lower panel that links directly to a website.
[02:47] <well_laid_lawn> have it launch  firefox http://'url here'
[02:47] <well_laid_lawn> ?
[02:52] <jeffrey1> I'll try that
[02:54] <jeffrey1> Is that on the edit launcher screen?
[02:55] <jeffrey1> I added a web browser launcher, not sure how to make it go to a specific url
[02:55] <well_laid_lawn> yep should mention a command to run
[02:55] <jeffrey1> --launch WebBrowser %u
[02:55] <jeffrey1> where does the url go?
[02:56] <Ironsight> Is there a way to update from 12.04 to the latest? The upgrade manager used to just show the dist upgrades
[02:56] <well_laid_lawn> I would try a general launcher
[02:57] <well_laid_lawn> Ironsight:  you might need to check if it is looking for non lts upgrades
[02:58] <Ironsight> oh yeah
[02:58] <Ironsight> thanks :D
[03:01] <jeffrey1> got it working thanks lawn
[03:02] <well_laid_lawn> cheers and cheers
[03:02] <well_laid_lawn> ;)
[03:07] <Ironsight> That did it lawn :D
[03:07] <well_laid_lawn> excellent :)
[03:07] <Ironsight> oh man
[03:08] <Ironsight> threw an error at me, "Package ubuntu-release-upgrader does not exist.
[03:10] <Ironsight> skipped that, did a sudo do-release-upgrade :D
[03:10] <Ironsight> failed again
[03:10] <Ironsight> :(
[03:11]  * Ironsight gets a usb memory stick out
[03:15] <Ironsight> bah, I'm on LTS, I'll just keep it as is until the lts runs out
[03:31] <irishjim68> hello all. I am having a minor irritation with my xubuntu 12.10 install that I cannot find an answer toa nywhere. My machine is part of a home network that includes windows xp machines, and in my places menu, and inside the folder side pane of the file manager, the icon for "Network" keeps disappearing (ie. doesn't always show up). No settings are being changed, shometime if I reboot, it will be there, sometimes not. gvfs backen
[03:34] <irishjim68> really more of an annoyance than anything.
[03:35] <Cheri703> you could just set it up so the windows shares auto mount instead of having to go to "network"?
[03:38] <irishjim68> that would entail automounting 6 or 7 different shares
[03:39] <irishjim68> not all of them are accessed regularly either
[03:41] <Cheri703> ok, just a thought. :) I have no idea why network would disappear, but under "go" (file, edit, view, go, help) there should be a "browse network" option.
[03:42] <irishjim68> I used to get this occasionally with the normal Ubuntu install, then when I switched to Xu, everything worked fine for a while, then I started noticing that I had no "Network" icon...usually when i REALLY wanted to access a share.
[03:42] <Cheri703> so if the issue is not being able to access, that should help. if the issue is "why is it vanishing" I can't help, sorry and good luck!
[03:43] <irishjim68> not there
[03:43] <Cheri703> ?
[03:46] <irishjim68> locations under the Go menu are: Open Parent, Back, Forward, Home, Desktop, File System, Documents, Download, Music, Pictures, Videos, Public, Templates, and Open Location
[03:46] <Cheri703> weird, in mine, "browse network" is right above "open location"
[03:47] <Cheri703> I got nothing. Sorry, hopefully someone has an idea.
[03:47] <irishjim68> is there maybe a config file for Thunar that could be edited?
[03:48] <irishjim68> I've been through EVERYTHING in settings manager with no luck
[03:57] <irishjim68> okay, now this is weird...if I use Thunar (default FM), right now I show no network access. But I also have PCMan FM installed, when I open that, in the places sidebar, there is no "Network", but under the Go menu it shows "Network Drives"
[04:05] <holstein> irishjim68_: i use gigolo
[04:06] <irishjim68_> do not even know where to start with gigolo
[04:06] <holstein> irishjim68_: i just click "connect" and mount the network share, and open it where it mounts
[04:07] <holstein> you can right-click and it opens in the default file manager (for me at least)
[04:08] <irishjim68> server? share?
[04:09] <irishjim68> that is for windows share
[04:09] <holstein> irishjim68: whatever share... samba... ftp... ssh
[04:10] <irishjim68> in other words, i need to fill in the blanks here
[04:11] <holstein> irishjim68: well, i do.. i always find the ip, and test ping
[04:12] <irishjim68> okay, i put in the name of the computer hosting the share for the server, and the drive identifier "z:" for the share, clicked connect and gigolo gave me a failed to connect.
[04:14] <holstein> i would put the ip... something like smb://192.168.0.11 maybe
[04:15] <holstein> these days, i just make windows do ssh
[04:15] <irishjim68> okay, now this is better,  i opened the side panel under the view menu, and all of  my network locations are listed.
[04:16] <irishjim68> on the network tab
[04:20] <irishjim68> okay, i can use gigolo, seems a bit redundant, but i can get used to it. like i said earlier tho, this is an intermittent annoyance, sometimes i can browse the network fine in FM, other times the icon is just not there.
[05:26] <ruslan_osmanov> Hi. How do I upgrade php to 5.4 under Oneiric? apt-get update && apt-get install php5 outputs that I have most recent version (5.3.6) which is not true.
[05:27] <well_laid_lawn> it's the most recent in that repo
[05:27] <well_laid_lawn> !repo
[05:27] <holstein> !ppa
[05:27] <holstein> ^ you might be able to add a PPA for support.. you can always maintain whatever versions you want on your own
[05:28] <ruslan_osmanov> thanks
[08:52] <Hyperiant> Having some issues installing Xubuntu on a laptop; both a live disc and live USB fail to proceed past the "preparing to install Xubuntu" screen
[08:53] <Hyperiant> I click "continue" and wait for hours but it never proceeds further than that
[08:54] <Hyperiant> Additionally, I was able to proceed once but the installation wouldn't go further than the screen immediately after, so I had to restart it
[08:55] <Hyperiant> It seems like the installation was able to do something, as when I start up my computer without the CD it boots up to GRUB but if I select Ubuntu from the list it never boots
[08:56] <Hyperiant> But because it never completed successfully, I doubt I can do anything with the data currently in place
[08:57] <Hyperiant> How can I fix my install, or better yet, how can I get Xubuntu to properly finish installation?
[09:38] <Hyperiant> Can I get some help debugging Ubiquity?  It's hanging and won't let me install Xubuntu.
[10:00] <ochosi> Hyperiant: you can try to use "try xubuntu" instead of "install xubuntu" at the boot menu and then launch ubiquity from the terminal
[10:01] <ochosi> meh
[13:12] <Doctor_Vex> so
[13:13] <Doctor_Vex> Xubuntu now works good so far
[13:13] <GridCube> yep
[13:13] <GridCube> it should
[13:13] <Doctor_Vex> i think graphics driver are missing and i could use some help
[13:13] <Doctor_Vex> Dell Inspiron 4100 ATI Mobility Radeon 16 MB
[13:14] <Doctor_Vex> i googled a bit but did not find something useful so far
[13:15] <Doctor_Vex> it also has weird broken colors on boot up of shutdown, but the desktop looks how it is supposed to
[13:15] <Doctor_Vex> *or
[14:23] <Severus> Hello, could someone please tell me how i can rate softwareP
[14:24] <Severus> in the software center
[14:25] <GridCube> rate? let me check
[14:34] <GridCube> Severus, you there?
[14:34] <Severus> I Am
[14:35] <GridCube> on the USC go to >View >Activate Review
[14:35] <GridCube> there you will be asked some identifications and passwords, after that is done, you can add reviews and rate software you have installed :)
[14:36] <Severus> Yep, that worked, thank you!
[14:36] <GridCube> :D dont worry
[14:36] <GridCube> i never knew about that XD
[14:37] <Severus> hihih

[16:23] <Michael___> hey
[16:24] <Michael___> anyone can help me install tor-browser on my xubuntu
[16:25] <holstein> Michael___: http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/04/how-to-install-and-run-tor-under-ubuntu.html looks good
[16:25] <GridCube> Michael___, go to https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en#linux , uncompress the file and run the program, that is all
[16:26] <holstein> ^^ even better.. without the need for the ppa i linked
[16:26] <Michael___> i have been trying to do all the things they said
[16:26] <Michael___> however somehow it can't connect
[16:26] <GridCube> Michael___, are you using a proxy?
[16:26] <Michael___> i didn't try what Gridcube posted though
[16:26] <Michael___> i'll try it now
[16:27] <Michael___> no see i'm in a country that lets say filters everything  -_- thats why i need tor
[16:28] <GridCube> kk, download the bundled browser, its what im using now, it works pretty well
[16:29] <Michael___> hmm here we go again with the permission thing
[16:29] <Michael___> hold on i'm gonna try to do it using terminal sudo
[16:43] <Michael___> ok done that
[16:43] <Michael___> gonna try to run it now
[16:46] <Michael___> Grid can you please tell me how do you run it ?
[16:46] <Michael___> coz its still not working for me
[16:48] <GridCube> i run the start-tor-browser on a terminal
[16:48] <GridCube> well, i use a launcher, but its the same
[16:49] <GridCube> double clicking it shoudl work too
[16:49] <Michael___> well i did that telling me command not found
[16:49] <Michael___> i did extract it to the run
[16:49] <GridCube> Michael___, just extract it somewhere like ~/Downloads/tor-browser
[16:50] <GridCube> then open a terminal and go to there and run ./start-tor-browser
[16:51] <Michael___> Feb 14 18:50:30.614 [Notice] Tor v0.2.3.25 (git-17c24b3118224d65) running on Linux. Feb 14 18:50:30.614 [Notice] Tor can't help you if you use it wrong!

[16:51] <Michael___> thats what i keep getting
[16:51] <holstein> Michael___: there is an error reading your config file
[16:52] <xubuntu113> Hi. Can someone help me setting custom resolution permanently. I have to tell, that there is no Xorg.conf file in the etc/X11 folder. I have an old radeon card.
[16:52] <GridCube> yes, what holstein said
[16:52] <Michael___> how can i fix that ?
[16:52] <holstein> xubuntu113: you can make one.. sometimes i just create my own xorg.conf.. i might use a knoppix live CD
[16:52] <holstein> Michael___: i would check it.. see if its there, and go from there
[16:52] <GridCube> xubuntu113, there is no need for a xorg.conf, just add a xrandr string to the startup session
[16:53] <xubuntu113> I did yesterday. Didn't work.
[16:53] <GridCube> try using an arandr script
[16:53] <holstein> GridCube: thats in the menu, isnt it?.. i think thats easier xubuntu113 , but i usually end up with an xorg.conf
[16:53] <xubuntu113> i tried xrandr bur út because it was already running I couldn't configure it.
[16:54] <xubuntu113> I don't know how to writ a script
[16:54] <holstein> xubuntu113: it'll get generated
[16:54] <GridCube> xubuntu113, open arandr, configure your desktop as you please, save the script and add that to your session launcher
[16:54] <GridCube> Michael___, you should purge all tor related stuffs on your computer and start again from zero using the bundled browser
[16:55] <holstein> GridCube: you use that for dual head as well?
[16:55] <GridCube> yes
[16:55] <xubuntu113> i couldnt install arandr first. When i could it didnt sart. there was a compatibility problem with xrandr
[16:55] <GridCube> but silly 12.10 for some reason doesnt let me have separated x servers :/
[16:55] <GridCube> ah?
[16:55] <holstein> GridCube: interesting...
[16:56] <GridCube> xubuntu113, what xubuntu are you using?
[16:56] <xubuntu113> Voyager 12.04
[16:56] <holstein> voyager is *not* xubuntu
[16:56] <GridCube> xubuntu113, well well well, that is not xubuntu
[16:56] <xubuntu113> i couldn't even set on xubuntu 12.04 as well
[16:57] <holstein> xubuntu113: i would just use whatever tool they provide for setting resolution.. also, the custom xorg.conf should work with any debian based distro
[16:57] <xubuntu113> well based on xubuntu. The problem  was the same on xubuntu
[16:57] <GridCube> xubuntu113, we cant help you there xubuntu113, please ask on the voyager channels
[16:57] <GridCube> xubuntu113, if you where using xubuntu then yes, but you are not then, nope
[16:58] <xubuntu113> if i can do it on xubuntu that's fine
[16:59] <holstein> xubuntu113: you can try it.. you can try most of that from a live CD... you can install arandr and see how it works
[16:59] <xubuntu113> I have the same problem on any ubuntu distro
[17:00] <xubuntu113> okay. i start a live cd then instal arandr. then what?
[17:00] <Michael___> hmm
[17:00] <Michael___> ok gonna go purge everything
[17:00] <holstein> xubuntu113: then, you can get a feel for the software GridCube is suggesting, and decide if you'd like to utilize it
[17:00] <holstein> xubuntu113: you can also try gernating an xorg.conf
[17:00] <GridCube> save the script and place it on the auto launch of applications, but you cant use that on a livecd
[17:01] <xubuntu113> I think whit xorg.conf the problem is that the modeline is correct but I dont thint that the rest is right
[17:02] <holstein> xubuntu113: what do i do? sometimes i load up a knoppix live CD.. get the desktop just the way i want, and copy the xorg.conf over
[17:02] <holstein> then, the rest is just right...
[17:02] <xubuntu113> i foud many xorg example but there were all different
[17:03] <holstein> xubuntu113: i get one that i *know* works.. i see it running and working, and i copy it over
[17:03] <xubuntu113> could you give me a link for a proper one?
[17:03] <xubuntu113> thanks
[17:03] <holstein> xubuntu113: no.. they are fairly particular to your hardware and what you want
[17:03] <xubuntu113> then i can't creat one.
[17:04] <holstein> xubuntu113: ?
[17:04] <xubuntu113> if i don't know what to write in the xorg file except the modline I can't create it
[17:04] <holstein> xubuntu113: you can do whatever you like.. what do i do? i use a live CD to create one.. you can create one from scratch. you can search for one for your hardware online.. you can create one from the recover prompt
[17:05] <holstein> xubuntu113: thats why i search for one.. or i use a live CD.... or you can try GridCube 's method
[17:06] <xubuntu113> i'll try it. thanks
[17:09] <Michael___> ok i removed almost everything related to network and internet
[17:09] <Michael___> i had openvpn installed
[17:10] <Michael___> now i'm getting a new thing
[17:10] <Michael___> Vidalia can't find out how to talk to Tor because it can't access this file: /home/michael/Downloads/tor-browser_en-US/Data/Tor/port.conf Here's the last error message: Permission denied
[17:10] <Michael___> i believe i am gonna try to reinstall a fresh copy of xubuntu
[17:11] <Michael___> coz i kinda gave up
[17:11] <GridCube> do that
[17:11] <GridCube> :)
[17:11] <GridCube> its probably your best option
[17:23] <Guest9489> Hi again. I'm on Xubuntu 12.04 live CD. After when I installed arandr it cant run
[17:23] <holstein> GridCube: with what error?
[17:24] <holstein> GridCube: sorry.. Guest9489 ^^
[17:24] <Guest9489> the application arandr has closed unexpectedly
[17:25] <holstein> Guest9489: you can launch it from the terminal and see more output
[17:25] <holstein> Guest9489: sometimes, i find it helpful to install and use proprietary driver when available
[17:25] <holstein> !ati
[17:26] <Guest9489> in terminal result: ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '1080i'
[17:27] <holstein> Guest9489: and it crashed again?
[17:27] <Guest9489> I think i've tried those all yesterday
[17:28] <Guest9489> yes
[17:30] <holstein> Guest9489: think what? you tried proprietary drivers?
[17:30] <Guest9489> sorry. no. i'm just looking at the moment
[17:32] <Guest9489> i downloade the run file. What should i do with it?
[17:33] <Guest9489> i should copy somewhere?
[17:33] <GridCube> Guest70400, you are at a live session
[17:33] <Guest9489> yes
[17:33] <GridCube> i dont understand what you want to achieve here
[17:34] <Guest9489> sorry. i'm not guest70400
[17:34] <GridCube> on a real xubuntu install you just run gksu jokey-gtk and install your drivers there
[17:34] <GridCube> Guest9489, tab mistake
[17:35] <GridCube> its as simple as that
[17:37] <Guest9489> so i can't try in the live session
[17:37] <holstein> Guest9489: you might not need to
[17:37] <holstein> im just making suggestions that you can try from an actual xubuntu install
[17:37] <Guest9489> ok. thank you. i try it
[17:40] <Doctor_Vex> just throwing in my problem again: i am looking for a graphics driver to get a better framerate for the  Dell Inspiron 4100 ATI Mobility Radeon 16 MB
