=== Lump|AFK is now known as Lumpy [01:37] Whats the default username/password for a xubuntu live cd? [01:42] i want to disable the right key click on the desktop since i do not want people changing it - how do i do this [01:44] jpmh: you don't want people to change what? background image? [01:45] David-A: I do not want them changing anything, adding folders, background etc [01:47] jpmh: is this a home computer or a "kiosk"? if home computer, create a user for every person you know, then it is okay for them to change everything they can, they can't destroy anything for anyone else. [01:50] David-A: too all intents and puposes it is a kiosk - it is a public access computer in a coffee shop [01:52] it is kind of impossible to try lock down the system by configuring the user interface. you can create folders using the file manager, the terminal. they will find a way. [01:54] jpmh: would the default "guest" account work for you? people can create folders and files and change themes and everything, but when they logout, everytning is reset and all their files forgotten. [01:55] David-A: I have over 500 that are nicely locked down under ubuntu and have never seen any sign of anyone getting past my lockdowns. The file-mangnager etc are all not avaiolable to them and with appropriate file permissions I do a lot of limiti [01:56] David-A: the guest account is what I used to use but I really prefer that they do not need to log on at all - looking at xubuntu since the machines really do not have the horsepower for unity [02:06] jpmh: in settings>Desktop>Icons you can change Icon type to None, which will stop the desktop from being mapped to the ~/Desktop folder. In Menus tab you can remove the program menu from right-click on the desktop. [02:07] jpmh: I don't know how tight a lock out this would be.

[03:49] stephenfossa: just download the iso, and burn it to cd.. boot the machine with it, and install [03:51] i thought so. i dont have any cds on hand, tried with usb though, seemed to take to long [03:53] stephenfossa: i usually use unetbootin.. you can follow any guides for installing ubuntu [03:53] !install [03:53] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

With just throwing it up there, centered with expanded separators, it's never really centered, as the notification icons on the right always nudge it slightly more left or right than it should be... [04:42] ....I came up with the solution to just make another panel dedicated to keeping the clock centered, and just have it on top of the main one, but transparent. Doesn't work well, as when I use the main panel, it just goes behind and I can barely see it. [04:42] So how would I go about keeping it centered? [04:43] Kingdaro: you might make 3 separate panels? one left, one center, one right? [04:44] Cheri703: I also thought of that, I wasn't sure if it would work. There could be spaces between the three panels, but I could just use another one and put it behind the three. [04:44] Would a "filler" panel always stay in the back if unused? [04:44] why would there need to be spaces? [04:45] No, no, I mean there would be spaces if i used different panels. [04:45] you can always just drag your existing panel out of the way and make new panels to play with, deleting them if it doesn't work [04:45] Well alright, I'll try it out. Thanks. [04:46] I'm a fan of "try it and see what happens" :) [04:46] good luck :) [05:09] hello anyone ? [05:10] i would like to asked about xubuntu ?

[05:34] onux: no.. there are no ubuntu versions that small [05:34] i get the minimal [05:34] but required to install online. [05:34] .. [05:34] onux: the minimal is not live [05:34] and [05:34] ..

[05:43] on it's flash [05:43] ? [05:44] onux: ? [05:44] because the only choice is to go online, which i am not prefered to make the network settings. [05:44] and.. [05:45] i choose to go out there, it showed console.. ? [05:45] onux: what you want doesnt exist.. there is no live CD that is 30.. there is the minimal.. you can install that to a USB stick and boot it up.. it'll be bigger than 30mbs.. you can install/remove what you need [05:46] when the minimal ubuntu run it end with GUI, to go online right ? [05:47] onux: ? end with gui? [05:47] onux: you get minimal... just a command prompt [05:47] right [05:47] no [05:47] onux: yes [05:47] onux: that is its function.. its not up for debate.. you install and you get a minimal command line system [05:48] when i boot minimal, i end on GUI, and the GUI only allows me to get a network. [05:48] onux: you dont nee a gui for networking [05:48] need* [05:48] i already tried the quantal [05:48] it is stop on GUI to do network. [05:49] right ? [05:49] onux: i dont know what that means.. "it is stop on network" [05:50] it meant boot>minimal>some text loading/commandprompt loading/GUI settings network. [05:50] right ? [05:50] so it's end on GUI [05:50] Graphics. [05:51] no. minimal is just that.. no GUI. just text [05:51] onux: and it will be bigger than 30 mb's [05:51] i tried the latest called quantal [05:51] "quantal quetzal" [05:52] onux: ok [05:52] see. [05:53] no.. im sorry, i dont.. you tried 12.10? and what? [05:53] its too big? doesnt work? what? [05:53] i tried 12.10 entering GUI for installation, and i stop there. [05:53] it's a GUI. [05:53] right [05:54] onux: the minimal is not a gui [05:54] see. [05:54] onux: no, im sorry, i dont see [05:54] did you know GUI ? [05:54] Graphics User Interface. [05:54] right ? [05:54] onux: ? xubuntu is uing XFCE [05:55] onux: right.. GUI.. i know what it is, and i know that xubuntu 12.01 ships with one, and you tried it [05:55] the minimal is using GUI. [05:55] onux: no [05:55] the minimal has no gui [05:55] to get connected to the internet. [05:55] its on 12.10 [05:55] onux: it doesnt ship with, or install a gui by defaut [05:55] quantal [05:55] onux, stop repeating [05:55] ok. [05:55] ill stop there. [05:55] onux: quantal, 12.01.. minimal.. doenst have GUI. doesnt ship with one [05:56] onux: no GUI installs with the minimal installtion CD.. you can install one if you need/want [05:56] onux, the minimal is text only. NO GUI [05:56] ok then. [05:56] so i want minimal with minimal GUI. [05:56] onux: there is not such thing [05:57] onux: the GUI is big, and takes up space.. the 2 suggestions i gave are the smallest i know of [05:57] well that's too bad. [05:57] i only required smallest GUI. [05:57] onux: there is no ubuntu version with GUI that is live and 30mb's [05:57] to run SUDO [05:58] onux: no, you dont need a GUI to run sudo [05:59] right [05:59] so, is minimal way to access it's own flash disk ? [05:59] onux: i mean no disrespect, but can i help you find a localized channel? maybe for your native language? [05:59] onux: i dont know what that means [06:00] boot the minimal, and then console ? is that possible ? [06:00] and execute sudo ? [06:00] is that possible ? [06:00] use sudo to do what onux [06:01] and open flash data ? [06:01] onux: the minimal is not a live CD. you install.. boot to a text prompt and do what you need [06:01] what flash data onux [06:03] sudo todo file.sh [06:03] onux, what is in the file. where is it from [06:03] what is already in minimal /bin [06:04] onux, how much ram does your computer have, what video card, how much hdd space [06:04] enough. [06:05] onux, give us the specs [06:05] enough spec. [06:05] tell us some exact numbers onux [06:05] why ? [06:05] onux, you want help, please answer some questions [06:06] i dont know, it will run windows XP at least. [06:06] onux, so 128mb of ram [06:06] maybe ?rn [06:07] yeah ubuntu wont run on that, unless you have a very minimal system with no GUI at all [06:07] what ? [06:07] onux: ubuntu needs more resources than 128 ram [06:07] onux, your computer specs are not good enough for a GUI [06:07] it did great with GUi. [06:08] it pass win3.11 GUI [06:08] no chance [06:08] hehe [06:08] it pass win 95 GUI [06:08] win3.11 [06:08] it pass win98 GUI [06:08] why not ubuntu [06:08] so ubuntu GUI is so efficient then. [06:08] those are decades old [06:08] i dont getit? [06:08] onux: those numbers equate to years. win95,= 1995 [06:08] clearly [06:09] onux: the modern windows 8 wont run on your hardware, and that is more of an analog to modern ubuntu [06:09] a computer that old wont run any kernel that I can think of [06:09] just like what i asked before looking for smallest GUI possible. [06:09] onux: there is no gui for you [06:09] onux: you can try puppy, and dsl [06:10] onux, not going to happen, nothing runs on that poor and slow a computer [06:10] right puppy and dsl have alot smaller GUI. [06:10] but i am trying to get it from ubuntu. [06:10] if possible. [06:10] nope [06:10] onux: i linked you a puppy version that is ubuntu based [06:11] no thank's [06:11] already got puppy. [06:11] onux: its not officially supported by ubuntu, but thats as close as you will get [06:11] whoops [06:11] sorry [06:11] is there puppy that is ubuntu based. [06:11] ok then [06:11] please tell me ? [06:12] onux: sure. let me scroll up and grab the link again... [06:12] ok. waiting.

Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [06:15] is it the lucid one ?

I have a simple question: how does one change keyboard layouts in Xubuntu 12.04? [11:46] settings->settings manager->keyboard->layout [11:46] Rogach: [11:47] torax: Well, I found that. But if I want to change my layout with some shorcut? [11:47] torax: I always kept two layouts - english and my native. [11:48] torax: And going into that setting manager each time I want to switch layout is quite daunting. [11:48] ok, just a minute [11:49] Rogach: rigt click on the panel, select panel->add new items->keyboard layout [11:50] then flag appears in your panel, right click it and select properties [11:52] torax: Thanks, that worked! [11:53] Also, I wanted to remap the CapsLock key to work as additional Ctrl. Is that possible? [11:53] yes, it is. I just dont know how :D [11:54] torax: Wow. That's quite frightening :( In gnome, that was all in global keyboard preferences, and was quite obvious. [11:55] I've never remapped anything [11:55] torax: Since I am emacs user, I use Ctrl a lot, and it's default position is very uncomfortable. [11:56] Rogach: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?RemapCapsLock [11:56] that might help you [11:56] torax: Thanks! [11:57] Rogach: http://serverfault.com/questions/10437/how-do-you-swap-the-caps-lock-to-control-in-xfce [11:58] I hope you find some solution from those links =) [11:58] torax: Yes, the last link worked for me.

I took a look at the website, would you have any suggestions on how to fix it? [13:28] Would it work to install a version older than TwoFlower? [13:29] do you have the codecs for playing dvd installed? [13:30] Is libdvdcss a codec? [13:30] yes, at least that's what I had in mind [13:31] Yes, so I'm not sure why it won't work.... is it a region setting thing? [13:32] is that a commercial dvd? some companies, (notably Sony) are known to produce broken dvds so that they don't play in computer dvd drives [13:32] but I have no idea what error you get with them [13:33] also, are you sure that this is the actual error, and not just a warning, and the error is something else? [13:33] Yes it's commercial. I tried looking at V=https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [13:33] But I don't get the error messages they describe.... [13:50] I just installed unity-greeter but I think something is not working properly because the login screen is looks like it's using some very old icons/windows theme (kinda like the debian icons). anyone have any idea what's going on and what should I do in order to fix this ?
