| pulec_ | hi, I was backing up some files via Midnight Commander from another hdd to /home and I run out of space few times, I copied some files to ntfs partition | 01:01 |
|---|---|---|
| heoyea | death | 01:01 |
| pulec_ | but when I wanted to run firefox with another profile, it showwed error | 01:02 |
| pulec_ | *showed | 01:02 |
| pulec_ | creating new one, would too | 01:02 |
| pulec_ | it showed error that there were not permition to write | 01:02 |
| pulec_ | so as a lame user I tried restart | 01:03 |
| pulec_ | but then error with /etc/defauůt/ speech-direct and sena showed up | 01:03 |
| pulec_ | with plymouth | 01:04 |
| pulec_ | I am on samsung nc10 with intel atom and intel graphics | 01:04 |
| pulec_ | and what I found, plymouth is connected with nvidia drivers | 01:04 |
| pulec_ | Xorg -configure showed two errors, two many screens connected or what | 01:05 |
| pulec_ | so again, as a lame user, I backed up files and tried reinstall | 01:05 |
| pulec_ | its stuck on restoring packages for few hours now | 01:05 |
| pulec_ | and one important thing, I was resizing that ntfs partition | 01:06 |
| pulec_ | maybe gparted changed uuid somehow, because it showed that disk with uuid xxxx is not there annymore | 01:07 |
| pulec_ | but that was about 2 weeks ago | 01:07 |
| pulec_ | i am not sure if all those file names are correct, I had few beers | 01:07 |
| David-A | pulec_: is your current /home on a filesystem of type ext2/ext3/ext4 or of type ntfs? (system and home should not be ntfs/fat) | 01:08 |
| pulec_ | corrupted 750gb drive here from a stupid friend, another ***** notebook with lots of **** installed with windows, and some very bad habbits.... | 01:08 |
| pulec_ | of course my /home is ext4 | 01:09 |
| pulec_ | ntfs is all for windows7, needed for school stuff | 01:09 |
| pulec_ | xubuntu was working only with ext4 partition and 2gb swap file | 01:09 |
| pulec_ | I dont know what went wrong | 01:10 |
| pulec_ | I did change the battery, but I made almost 10 restarts since that, everything went well | 01:10 |
| pulec_ | I also did few updates with new kernel, everything went fine | 01:10 |
| David-A | pulec_: does s.m.a.r.t data from the disk says it is okay? (e.g. using the DiskUtility to see it) | 01:11 |
| pulec_ | only after I started backing up that hard drive and got error with firefox, that did not have write permission | 01:11 |
| pulec_ | oh hell... | 01:11 |
| pulec_ | I dont even want to start thinking that hdd could be corrupted | 01:11 |
| pulec_ | will check | 01:11 |
| pulec_ | I am on live xubuntu right now, any idea what program for smart reading is there? | 01:12 |
| pulec_ | 12.10 xubuntu that is | 01:13 |
| David-A | pulec_: it should be DiskUtility or something | 01:13 |
| pulec_ | tried running it via terminal, nothing.. | 01:14 |
| pulec_ | application finder is no help | 01:14 |
| David-A | pulec_: in the terminal it was called palimpsest before, but I think it has changed now | 01:14 |
| pulec_ | will try to check in in windows | 01:15 |
| sSs | !info smartmontools | 01:18 |

| sSs | there ya go pulec_ | 01:20 |
| pulec_ | thx | 01:20 |
| pulec_ | but I cant install on live system can I? | 01:20 |
| pulec_ | running on fat32 flash | 01:20 |
| sSs | if you have a persistence file (casper system) you can | 01:21 |
| pulec_ | oh casper system | 01:21 |
| sSs | actually u can any way. it installs to RAM | 01:21 |
| sSs | if you dont have persistence | 01:22 |
| pulec_ | if i just do sudo apt-get intall smartmontools | 01:25 |
| pulec_ | it gives me: | 01:25 |
| pulec_ | Errors were encountered while processing: man-db E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 01:25 |
| pulec_ | thx for help, will try to check it later | 01:25 |
| pulec_ | hopefully the hard drive will be healthy for few more years | 01:26 |
| pulec_ | but new 2.5" hdds are crashing like flies latelly... | 01:26 |
| sSs | http://askubuntu.com/questions/171205/e-sub-process-usr-bin-dpkg-returned-an-error-code-1 | 01:26 |
| pulec_ | its 2am here, just do some crazy redditing and sleep | 01:26 |
| pulec_ | thx, I had too much problem solving today :-) | 01:27 |
| David-A | pulec_: we can talk about uuid some other day. have a good rest. | 01:27 |
| pulec_ | I changed uuid that file /etc/ forgow how it was called | 01:28 |
| pulec_ | after making new swap file | 01:29 |
| pulec_ | will see what reinstal did with it | 01:29 |
| David-A | yes, but not tonight? right? | 01:31 |
| pulec_ | It seems that trying to renew old packages takes too much time, I will restart just to see after finishing reddit post | 01:36 |
| pulec_ | then I will probably format | 01:36 |

| Rogach | I tried editing /etc/default/keyboard and setting XKBLAYOUT to "us,ru", but running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" resets it. | 05:41 |

| baizon | yes | 12:15 |
| Jordach | so how would i go about this? | 12:15 |
| Jordach | ah, sda1 is the win xp recovery partition, sda5 is winxp itself | 12:16 |
| baizon | yes | 12:16 |
| baizon | format just the xp partition | 12:16 |
| baizon | and install it there :) | 12:16 |
| baizon | thats all | 12:16 |
| Jordach | the mount point for xubuntu is "/" is this fine? | 12:16 |
| baizon | yes | 12:17 |
| Jordach | okay then | 12:17 |

| nikolam | hi, anyone else can confirm that "word wrap" option in leafpad does not work in xubuntu 12.04 LTS 32-bit? | 18:07 |
| Zelouille | nikolam: “word wrap” works within my xubuntu 12.04.1 32bit LiveCD | 18:22 |
| blue_pearl | anyone faced problem with sync in Google Chrome on Xubuntu 12.10 ? | 18:28 |
| nikolam | well here it does not.. it is installed on Pata HD and updated. It is 12.04.2 | 18:29 |
| blue_pearl | apps and extension does not sync with Xubuntu but it syncs fine with Ubuntu 12.10 | 18:29 |
| nikolam | Zelouille, it must be it acquired a bug after updates... | 18:29 |
| blue_pearl | however bookmarks sync perfectly | 18:29 |
| nikolam | blue_pearl, why you are not using chromium from repositories, anyway? | 18:30 |
| nikolam | it is the same thing as chrome i suppose, minus those spying google things in chrome | 18:30 |
| blue_pearl | nikolam, ok will try chromium lets see if it can sync | 18:31 |
| blue_pearl | chromium does the same, it does not sync my apps and extension like chrome | 18:37 |
| nikolam | you could try report it to google if chrome is about, since they make binaries. If it ends up it is about xubuntu, then there goes report. | 18:37 |
| xubuntu463 | hi | 18:37 |
| xubuntu463 | someone can help me? | 18:37 |
| nikolam | but, ubuntu and xubunut are basically the same thing, xubuntu just uses xfce. | 18:37 |
| nikolam | xubuntu463, just ask question. don't as to ask :P | 18:38 |
| xubuntu463 | thanks, i'm trying to kill XServer or change the runlevel for install nvidia drivers but i can't... where is inittab?? xdm stop should work?? thanks!!! pd: sorry, i speak a bit english | 18:39 |
| nikolam | I think nvidia drivers need X not to be active. | 18:40 |
| nikolam | I think i remember i used to pkill xdm I think | 18:40 |
| nikolam | and also I looked if there is X active with ps -A | grep X | 18:41 |
| xubuntu463 | yes, before install drivers I need X not be active, there's the problem... i don't know how... | 18:42 |
| xubuntu463 | PS -A | grep X returns: 1167 tty Xorg... | 18:43 |
| xubuntu463 | i can kill the proccess? | 18:43 |
| nikolam | well, kill it (1167) | 18:43 |
| xubuntu463 | using the PID | 18:43 |
| nikolam | I do like that. maybe not elegant, and there is another solution, but I kill it. ;P | 18:43 |
| nikolam | kill PID just asks it. kill -9 PID destroys it. Yeah. :P | 18:44 |
| lighta | hi here I tough it was a faq but didn't found anwser yet, so I try to append txt to a file. echo "foo" >> log/file.log I'm keep having permission denied even in 777 chmod, any idea ? | 18:45 |
| xubuntu732 | it works but i'm redirect to the login window again | 18:45 |
| sSs | chown username.username -Rv | 18:45 |
| nikolam | i am going to kill mine, to see how it goes. | 18:46 |
| nikolam | you kill it from the console ,, don't you? (Ctrl+Alt+F2) ? | 18:47 |
| lighta | no change sSs was that for me ? dir is not symlink and mine : drwxrwxrwx 3 lighta lighta 4096 Feb 22 16:10 log | 18:47 |
| sSs | xubuntu732, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 18:48 |
| nikolam | I think you need to kill lightdm (12.04 here) I do it woth sudo. | 18:49 |
| nikolam | with sudo | 18:49 |
| nikolam | that would be sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop on xubuntu 12.04. , thanks. | 18:50 |
| sSs | yeah forgot what channel this was | 18:52 |
| nikolam | but ill just di sudo pkill lightdm | 18:52 |

| xubuntu124 | A big thanks to the developers, Xubuntu 12.10 runs brilliantly on my 7 year old computer. Much smoother than Ubuntu Unity... | 19:17 |

| eanderson_ | Any one in here successful in running a multi monitor setup in xubuntu without having to run xrandr manually every session? | 19:30 |
| eanderson_ | I following the first 2 options at http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-use-multiple-monitors-in-xubuntu.html and seems to be having no luck with either | 19:30 |
| eanderson_ | *was | 19:30 |
| sSs | not currently runing it but on 12.04 i had LCD + HDMI running without issue on my laptop | 19:31 |
| eanderson_ | hmm | 19:33 |
| eanderson_ | did you end up dropping a sh your home dir and letting "session and startup" launch it? | 19:34 |
| sSs | i didnt have to do anything | 19:34 |
| sSs | just plugged in the hdmi cable n i was good to go | 19:34 |
| sSs | cant do it on 12.10. no driver support for my hd 4200 | 19:35 |
| eanderson_ | yea, that's how it SHOULD work | 19:35 |
| eanderson_ | but apparently the "Dispaly" control applet isn't geared for that in 12.10 | 19:36 |
| eanderson_ | bummer | 19:36 |
| eanderson_ | I can seem to get it working using arandr | 19:39 |
| eanderson_ | which last only for the currently session | 19:39 |
| eanderson_ | when I logout, POOF settings revert back to mirroring. | 19:40 |
| eanderson_ | I just want to know where i need to tinker to make those settings permanent | 19:40 |
| well_laid_lawn | I'd just add the xrandr commands you need to to startup applications and try that | 19:44 |
| well_laid_lawn | just had a thought -- are you saving the session when you've set the monitors up with arandr? | 19:45 |
| eanderson_ | so i tried using the "Session and Startup" panel | 19:48 |
| eanderson_ | but they either don't run, or are overridden in the startup process post running | 19:48 |
| eanderson_ | can't tel which | 19:48 |
| eanderson_ | I created a script using arandr | 19:49 |
| eanderson_ | and saved it to my home | 19:50 |
| eanderson_ | then setup a new entry to run "/home/eanderson/.screenlayout/standard.sh" in the session and startup panel | 19:51 |
| eanderson_ | well_laid_lawn:can you direct me on how to "just add the xrandr commands you need to to startup applications and try that" | 19:55 |
| eanderson_ | i think I have done that correctly | 19:56 |
| well_laid_lawn | you would add the command the same way that you would run it in a terminal or tty | 19:58 |
| well_laid_lawn | but it would have to be a one liner | 19:58 |
| well_laid_lawn | I'd check if xfce is saving the session or not | 19:59 |
| well_laid_lawn | too | 19:59 |
| eanderson_ | so I just cleared the session cache | 20:01 |
| eanderson_ | the arandr exe wasn't listed to begin with | 20:01 |
| strange | hey guys my powerbutton on the laptop is broken is there a way to return from suspend with a keyboard press instead of pressing power button? | 20:47 |
| well_laid_lawn | strange: see if this helps - http://www.absolutelytech.com/2010/10/17/howto-suspend-ubuntu-from-terminal-or-keyboard-shortcuts/ | 20:49 |
| strange | well_laid_lawn: it seems outdated i donthave the settings its referring to | 20:55 |
| strange | keyboard shortcuts i can suspend it fine the waking up thats the problem i want to be able to resume with a press of a button | 20:55 |
| well_laid_lawn | strange: I don't use suspend but I had a bit of a google and it seems the keyboard doesn't have any power to it during suspend, just the memory has a trickle of power | 21:04 |
| well_laid_lawn | checked the power manager's options for something? | 21:05 |
| well_laid_lawn | found this howto for crunchbang which might give a clue | 21:06 |
| well_laid_lawn | http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=13254 | 21:06 |
| well_laid_lawn | nope that's just for going into suspend | 21:07 |

| moetunes | !netinstall | 22:08 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 22:08 |
| moetunes | !miniiso | 22:08 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 22:08 |
| uunderdog | Hi, this is my first day with ubuntu and opted for xubuntu over unity | 23:14 |
| uunderdog | I am hoping to easily connect my Mac laptop with my Intel Core i5 Ubuntu 12.10 to transfer some files | 23:15 |
| uunderdog | So I just installed Samba. Ubuntu Software Center sees it, but Xubuntu does not | 23:16 |
| moetunes | I'm sure you could do that with samba, cifs or nfs - not sure what the mac would support best | 23:16 |
| moetunes | !samba | 23:16 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 23:16 |
| uunderdog | Where is software installed and how can I launch Samba with Xubuntu? | 23:16 |
| moetunes | open the file manager and start typing the address | 23:17 |
| moetunes | smb://server/to/connect/to | 23:17 |
| uunderdog | So, I am trying to run samba from ubuntu so I can type smb://server on my Mac | 23:18 |
| uunderdog | Just need to launch Samba on my ubuntu, but Xubuntu doesn't see it, but it's there. | 23:19 |
| moetunes | I don't use samba so I can just suggest reading those links above or wait a bit and see if someone else knows | 23:19 |
| uunderdog | I will check out the links thank you. | 23:19 |
| uunderdog | When one uses apt-get install, where on the hard drive are the apps installed? | 23:21 |
| uunderdog | Is there a way to tell Xubuntu that the app I recently installed is in fact there? | 23:22 |
| moetunes | if apt downloaded the package it knows it's there | 23:23 |
| uunderdog | If It means Ubuntu Software Center, then yes it sees the Samba | 23:23 |
| uunderdog | If It means Xubuntu, then no, it doesn't see it. | 23:24 |
| uunderdog | Can I launch Samba from the Ubuntu Software Center? | 23:24 |
| moetunes | anyway look in /var/cache/apt/archives | 23:24 |
| moetunes | samba is a serice so in a terminal do sudo samba start | 23:25 |
| moetunes | /serice/service/ | 23:25 |
| moetunes | that'll be mentioned in those links | 23:25 |
