[01:01] <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
[01:02] <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
[01:03] <pulec_> so as a lame user I tried restart
[01:03] <pulec_> but then error with /etc/defauůt/ speech-direct and sena showed up
[01:04] <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
[01:05] <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
[01:06] <pulec_> and one important thing, I was resizing that ntfs partition
[01:07] <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
[01:08] <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....
[01:09] <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
[01:10] <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
[01:11] <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
[01:12] <pulec_> I am on live xubuntu right now, any idea what program for smart reading is there?
[01:13] <pulec_> 12.10 xubuntu that is
[01:13] <David-A> pulec_: it should be DiskUtility or something
[01:14] <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
[01:15] <pulec_> will try to check in in windows
[01:18] <sSs> !info smartmontools
[01:20] <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
[01:21] <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
[01:22] <sSs> if you dont have persistence
[01:25] <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
[01:26] <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
[01:27] <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.
[01:28] <pulec_> I changed uuid that file /etc/ forgow how it was called
[01:29] <pulec_> after making new swap file
[01:29] <pulec_> will see what reinstal did with it
[01:31] <David-A> yes, but not tonight? right?
[01:36] <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
[02:35] <lestus> sup
[05:40] <Rogach> Is there some way to switch keyboard layout programmatically?
[05:41] <Rogach> I tried editing /etc/default/keyboard and setting XKBLAYOUT to "us,ru", but running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" resets it.
[08:02] <Guest25050> hi all
[08:02] <Guest25050> how can i remove LUKS_partition label from desktop? if it already mounted, but partition label on desktop didn't remove.
[08:05] <Guest25050> help blya
[08:13] <xubuser> hi
[08:19] <xfce> heya
[12:13] <Jordach> ehm, i have a three partitioned drive, and im trying to replace the windows xp partition, (but not erase the other two)
[12:15] <baizon> yes
[12:15] <Jordach> so how would i go about this?
[12:16] <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?
[12:17] <baizon> yes
[12:17] <Jordach> okay then
[13:04] <xubuntu753> Noobie "quit" install due to uncertainty of partition.  Have Vista how do I install along side windows.  Don't want to delete windows (just move  away quickly)
[14:04] <master_> some german people here??
[14:07] <TheSheep> !de | master_
[14:37] <bullgard4> TheSheep:  Du kannst in #ubuntu-de auf Deutsch fragen.
[14:39] <xubuntu421> im trying to get to the rizon irc server while Xubuntu is DLing, how would I do that?
[17:49] <Stinkies> hello
[17:49] <Stinkies> im looking for a good dvd burning program
[17:50] <Stinkies> any recommendation?
[17:53] <baizon> Stinkies: http://askubuntu.com/questions/162129/what-cd-dvd-burning-software-should-i-use
[17:55] <Stinkies> thanks

[18:04] <baizon> aww
[18:05] <baizon> damn wrong chan, sorry
[18:07] <nikolam> hi, anyone else can confirm that "word wrap" option in leafpad does not work in xubuntu 12.04 LTS 32-bit?
[18:22] <Zelouille> nikolam: “word wrap” works within my xubuntu 12.04.1 32bit LiveCD
[18:28] <blue_pearl> anyone faced problem with sync in Google Chrome on Xubuntu 12.10 ?
[18:29] <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
[18:30] <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
[18:31] <blue_pearl> nikolam, ok will try chromium lets see if it can sync
[18:37] <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.
[18:38] <nikolam> xubuntu463, just ask question. don't as to ask :P
[18:39] <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
[18:40] <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
[18:41] <nikolam> and also I looked if there is X active with ps -A | grep X
[18:42] <xubuntu463> yes, before install drivers I need X not be active, there's the problem... i don't know how...
[18:43] <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
[18:44] <nikolam> kill PID just asks it. kill -9 PID destroys it. Yeah. :P
[18:45] <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
[18:46] <nikolam> i am going to kill mine, to see how it goes.
[18:47] <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
[18:48] <sSs> xubuntu732, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[18:49] <nikolam> I think you need to kill lightdm (12.04 here) I do it woth sudo.
[18:49] <nikolam> with sudo
[18:50] <nikolam> that would be sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop on xubuntu 12.04. , thanks.
[18:52] <sSs> yeah forgot what channel this was
[18:52] <nikolam> but ill just di sudo pkill lightdm
[19:17] <xubuntu124> A big thanks to the developers, Xubuntu 12.10 runs brilliantly on my 7 year old computer. Much smoother than Ubuntu Unity...
[19:18] <xubuntu124> Good not to have Compiz slowing things down! The low CPU usage is amazing
[19:18] <sSs> xubuntu = good for mother earth
[19:30] <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
[19:31] <sSs> not currently runing it but on 12.04 i had LCD + HDMI running without issue on my laptop
[19:33] <eanderson_> hmm
[19:34] <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
[19:35] <sSs> cant do it on 12.10. no driver support for my hd 4200
[19:35] <eanderson_> yea, that's how it SHOULD work
[19:36] <eanderson_> but apparently the "Dispaly" control applet isn't geared for that in 12.10
[19:36] <eanderson_> bummer
[19:39] <eanderson_> I can seem to get it working using arandr
[19:39] <eanderson_> which last only for the currently session
[19:40] <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
[19:44] <well_laid_lawn> I'd just add the xrandr commands you need to to startup applications and try that
[19:45] <well_laid_lawn> just had a thought -- are you saving the session when you've set the monitors up with arandr?
[19:48] <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
[19:49] <eanderson_> I created a script using arandr
[19:50] <eanderson_> and saved it to my home
[19:51] <eanderson_> then setup a new entry to run "/home/eanderson/.screenlayout/standard.sh" in the session and startup panel
[19:55] <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"
[19:56] <eanderson_> i think I have done that correctly
[19:58] <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
[19:59] <well_laid_lawn> I'd check if xfce is saving the session or not
[19:59] <well_laid_lawn> too
[20:01] <eanderson_> so I just cleared the session cache
[20:01] <eanderson_> the arandr exe wasn't listed to begin with
[20:47] <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?
[20:49] <well_laid_lawn> strange:  see if this helps - http://www.absolutelytech.com/2010/10/17/howto-suspend-ubuntu-from-terminal-or-keyboard-shortcuts/
[20:55] <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
[21:04] <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
[21:05] <well_laid_lawn> checked the power manager's options for something?
[21:06] <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
[21:07] <well_laid_lawn> nope that's just for going into suspend
[22:06] <xubuntu189> is there a iso version with the games, software ?  im looking for a version without any software in the iso
[22:08] <moetunes> !netinstall
[22:08] <moetunes> !miniiso
[23:14] <uunderdog> Hi, this is my first day with ubuntu and opted for xubuntu over unity
[23:15] <uunderdog> I am hoping to easily connect my Mac laptop with my Intel Core i5 Ubuntu 12.10 to transfer some files
[23:16] <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] <uunderdog> Where is software installed and how can I launch Samba with Xubuntu?
[23:17] <moetunes> open the file manager and start typing the address
[23:17] <moetunes> smb://server/to/connect/to
[23:18] <uunderdog> So, I am trying to run samba from ubuntu so I can type smb://server on my Mac
[23:19] <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.
[23:21] <uunderdog> When one uses apt-get install, where on the hard drive are the apps installed?
[23:22] <uunderdog> Is there a way to tell Xubuntu that the app I recently installed is in fact there?
[23:23] <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
[23:24] <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
[23:25] <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
