| Noskcaj | is there a remote access program in xubuntu? | 00:17 |
|---|---|---|
| Chaser | Noskcaj, for RDP ? there is remmina for remote desktop client. | 00:25 |
| Noskcaj | Chaser, ok, ty | 00:28 |
| David-A | Noskcaj: for SSH there is openssh-server | 00:29 |
| David-A | Noskcaj: an alternative to remmina is vinagre | 00:30 |
| Unit193 | And remmina uses rdesktop or freerdp as a backend. Pretty sure Vinagre comes by default. | 00:31 |
| Noskcaj | ok, thanks guys. when my install finishes i'll look into those | 00:36 |
| David-A | Noskcaj: I also think vinagre is installed by default. just look in the menu for Network>Remote Desktop Viewer | 00:38 |

| elfy | anyone awake in here - got an issue driving me nuts, sometimes I start up to find wallpaper is only on one of my monitors - at some odd resolution, have to logout and login to make it on both screens - used arandr to setup screens - that appears to work fine, tried xfdesktop --reload - no difference | 11:37 |
| packetfrog | :> | 11:37 |
| packetfrog | It never works on my desktop | 11:37 |
| packetfrog | Unless I set to to cover both screens with one image and it looks like crap. | 11:37 |
| elfy | works fine on mine when I logout/in | 11:38 |
| packetfrog | I never bother to play with it, I only use my monitor on its side for pdf's and what not | 11:39 |
| elfy | so - can you help or not? | 11:39 |
| packetfrog | Install nitrogen? | 11:40 |
| elfy | default things should do the job | 11:41 |
| === daim2k5_Zzz is now known as daim2k5 | ||
| packetfrog | Everything I keep reading is saying install something so obviously default does not work for many people and they dont share how :P | 11:47 |
| elfy | ok - I could go with that if it NEVER set the wallpaper properly - as it is maybe 3 out of 10 boots fails to show them :) | 11:48 |
| elfy | so something default is working sometimes :) | 11:48 |
| packetfrog | elfy: Was not arguing. I know your right. :) | 11:56 |
| elfy | I didn't think you were :) | 11:56 |
| elfy | just one of those really annoying things :| | 11:57 |

| elfy | excellent | 13:22 |
| ochosi | it's still in a separate branch, but will most likely be merged to git-master next week | 13:23 |
| elfy | in general I've no issues - just this annoying intermittent one :) | 13:23 |

| aiena | HOw do you execute a python script from command line in xubnutu with root priviledges ? | 16:12 |
| aiena | *How | 16:12 |
| harvi | try " sudo python <script.py> ... dont know If it works I dont use it :/ | 16:14 |
| harvi | or try" sudo su" to get root rights and then " python <script.py>" ... maybe it will work | 16:15 |
| aiena | thanks ! | 16:19 |
| aiena | harvi: do you know how to install grofract in xubuntu ? | 16:19 |
| aiena | I have been trying !! | 16:19 |
| baizon | aiena: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnofract4d/files/gnofract4d/3.14.1/ | 16:20 |
| baizon | there you just chose the right deb file | 16:20 |
| aiena | i chse the right file I tried it | 16:21 |
| harvi | aiena: grofract have .deb package. see http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnofract4d/ | 16:22 |
| aiena | it opens up the ubuntu software center as gives a dependency is not satisfied python <2.7 | 16:22 |
| aiena | baizon: that mode does not work | 16:22 |
| aiena | I tried to figure out the dependency | 16:22 |
| aiena | python is installed | 16:22 |
| aiena | and it is 2.7 I think | 16:23 |
| baizon | aiena: have you tried sudo apt-get install -f | 16:23 |
| aiena | I'll try | 16:23 |
| harvi | or try to download this. http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnofract4d/files/gnofract4d/3.12/gnofract4d-python26_3.12-1ubuntu1_i386.deb/download | 16:23 |
| baizon | harvi: why using an old version? | 16:24 |
| aiena | baizon: I tried sudo apt-get install gnofract4d_3.14.1_amd64.deb -f | 16:24 |
| baizon | of course, if hes using xubuntu older than 12.04 that would make sense then | 16:24 |
| aiena | after cding to the directory | 16:24 |
| baizon | aiena: i didnt wrote that | 16:25 |
| aiena | cd 'ing | 16:25 |
| baizon | write sudo apt-get install -f | 16:25 |
| harvi | damn.. thats 3.12 ..sry my bad | 16:25 |
| aiena | ouch I thought xubuntu 12.04 comes with python 2.x | 16:25 |
| baizon | does it want to remove the gnofract4d pkg? | 16:26 |
| aiena | seems like itys updated to 3.2 (: | 16:26 |
| baizon | aiena: it also have python2.7 | 16:26 |
| aiena | no | 16:26 |
| aiena | baizon: it said 3.2 was installed | 16:26 |
| harvi | it has python 2.7.3 but gnofract want 2.6 | 16:26 |
| aiena | but is not needed | 16:26 |
| aiena | harvi: yes | 16:26 |
| baizon | aiena: yes, http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/python2.7 | 16:26 |
| aiena | baizon: IS IT POSSIBLE TO DOWNGRADE TO 2.6.X | 16:27 |
| aiena | sorry for the caps | 16:27 |
| baizon | aiena: what gave the install -f command? | 16:27 |
| baizon | what was the result? | 16:27 |
| aiena | baizon http://pastebin.com/QiFxrZTm | 16:28 |
| baizon | aiena: ok try then: 1. cd to the gnofract4d_3.14.1_amd64.deb file, 2. run sudo dpkg -i gnofract4d_3.14.1_amd64.deb, 3. run sudo apt-get install -f | 16:30 |
| harvi | baizon: how about using ..... sudo dpkg -i --force-all <package> | 16:31 |
| baizon | harvi: or this, yes | 16:31 |
| aiena | baizon: If I run harvi's command is it safe ? | 16:32 |
| baizon | aiena: if this doesnt work, show the result in pastebin please | 16:32 |
| aiena | in that case step 3 will not be needed right | 16:32 |
| baizon | aiena: yes | 16:32 |
| harvi | aiena: it is the same think. | 16:32 |
| harvi | i saw few posts but I havent find solution for this :/ ... but maybe downgrading python will work. Some of them tried to install 2 python versions in diferent folders with symlinks but it doesnt work | 16:34 |
| aiena | baizon it failed here is the second command output http://pastebin.com/CzXdmsTHon running sudo apt-get install -fit ask me to remove gnofract | 16:35 |
| baizon | aiena: wrong pastebin url | 16:35 |
| aiena | http://pastebin.com/CzXdmsTH | 16:36 |
| aiena | on running sudo apt-get install -f it ask me to remove gnofract | 16:36 |
| baizon | aiena: well then install python 2.6 | 16:36 |
| baizon | aiena: install it from here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/125342/how-can-i-install-python-2-6-on-12-04 | 16:37 |
| harvi | hmm.. downgrade python to 2.6 and install libjpeg62 too | 16:37 |
| aiena | so shoud I say yes to the output of sudo apt-get install -f | 16:37 |
| baizon | aiena: then try again | 16:37 |
| aiena | baizon: should I say yes to http://pastebin.com/xt9CvFmS before proceeding to downgrade to 2.6 ? | 16:38 |
| baizon | aiena: yes | 16:39 |
| aiena | that would automatically install libjpeg62 for me | 16:39 |
| baizon | aiena: yes, thats ok | 16:39 |
| aiena | I know | 16:39 |
| harvi | yes remove gnofract and libjpeg62 you dont need to install because it will be installed automatically | 16:39 |
| baizon | aiena: then add the python 2.6 ppa, install python 2.6 and try again the 3 steps i wrote (or 2 harvi wrote) | 16:40 |
| aiena | ok | 16:45 |
| aiena | Baizon same errors are coming !! I ran sudo-apt-get install -f to cleanup | 16:49 |
| aiena | * baizon | 16:50 |
| baizon | aiena: have you installed python 2.6? | 16:50 |
| aiena | yes | 16:50 |
| aiena | how do I verify | 16:50 |
| aiena | it wont list in synaptics | 16:51 |
| aiena | but it is installed | 16:51 |
| aiena | baizon: http://pastebin.com/VQCb6j7n | 16:52 |
| aiena | I think that log shows its installed | 16:52 |
| baizon | aiena: yes it is | 16:53 |
| baizon | but whats happening when you try to install your program? | 16:54 |
| aiena | I will show you | 16:54 |
| aiena | I have cleaned up before | 16:54 |
| aiena | with sudo apt-get install -f | 16:54 |
| aiena | so I will just re run | 16:54 |
| aiena | baizon: http://pastebin.com/umUCXGPM | 16:55 |
| baizon | aiena: try uninstalling python2.7 | 16:56 |
| baizon | then again | 16:56 |
| aiena | yes there could be a conflict | 16:56 |
| aiena | baizon: synaptics says I have 1 broken package | 16:57 |
| aiena | One sec | 16:57 |
| aiena | I know which | 16:57 |
| baizon | ok :) | 16:57 |
| aiena | it was gnofract | 16:58 |
| aiena | the odd thing is synaptics does not list python 2.7 | 16:58 |
| aiena | or the tick mark | 16:58 |
| aiena | si I cant purge/remove it from there | 16:58 |
| aiena | which command to run ? | 16:58 |
| aiena | *so | 16:59 |
| aiena | *can't | 16:59 |
| baizon | aiena: you dont need to remove it | 16:59 |
| baizon | use this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/14615/how-do-i-make-the-terminal-run-python-3-1/14624#14624 | 16:59 |
| aiena | baizon: sudo update-alternatives --config python | 17:00 |
| aiena | update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for python. | 17:00 |
| aiena | it list that there are no alternatives - odd | 17:00 |
| aiena | the second line is the output | 17:01 |
| baizon | aiena: ou well the devs have a solution for the problem... http://sourceforge.net/p/gnofract4d/discussion/2319/thread/067884db | 17:03 |

| kAworu_ | hi ! | 20:28 |
| === kAworu_ is now known as kAworu | ||
| kAworu | I've just installed xubuntu (12.10) and it works like a charm (I'm even able to run i3 as wm which is kind of incredible). | 20:28 |
| kAworu | Now I have a very simple problem. When thunar is mounting my external hdd (two ext4 partitions) I cannot write. | 20:30 |
| kAworu | They're not mounted ro they just seems to have been mounted by root | 20:31 |
| holstein | !chown | kAworu | 20:39 |
| ubottu | kAworu: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 20:39 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive specifically the parts about permissions | 20:40 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Does anyone have a firm understanding of the composting features of xfce? | 20:45 |
| kAworu | holstein: thanks | 20:46 |
| holstein | Poisoned_Dragon: AFAIK, its software compositing... meaning you dont need special hardware/drivers | 20:48 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | heh, I should have been more specific from the start. It's not a question about hardware or drivers. | 20:49 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I have an issue with running java apps on xfce while composting is on. | 20:49 |
| holstein | Poisoned_Dragon: just turn it off... | 20:50 |
| holstein | Poisoned_Dragon: you can try other java versions.. but, yeah, you could run into issues | 20:51 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Ugh... I was hoping that "turn it off" wasn't going to be the only solution. I'm using openjdk 7 jre. it happens in java 6 and 7. | 20:52 |
| kAworu | holstein: it worked indeed. I did not expect it to work because the /media/myuser/bla directories are created when auto-mounted and deleted when umounted | 20:55 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | well yea. That's what gvfs-mount does | 20:55 |
| kAworu | holstein: may I ask which process is responsible for this auto-mounting magic ? | 20:56 |
| holstein | gvfs i though ^^ | 20:56 |
| kAworu | holstein: That was my first guess too but it seems that all the gvfs process (my god there are so many) are running under myuser | 20:58 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | yeah, gvfs | 20:58 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | are we talking about removable drives? | 20:58 |
| kAworu | Poisoned_Dragon: yes | 20:59 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | You can disable auto-mounting in the settings manager, under removable devices | 20:59 |
| kAworu | Poisoned_Dragon: thanks for the info, but I am not trying to prevent auto mounting | 21:00 |
| kAworu | I'm just trying to understand. | 21:00 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Oh, ok. Just wanted to know how it worked. | 21:00 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | well, outside of the system doing it for me, I can use gvfs-mount, in terminal to manually add and remove mounts. | 21:01 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Less messy than making a directory and using mount. | 21:01 |
| kAworu | Poisoned_Dragon: my original problem is already solved (thank to holstein's hint about chown), however the solution surprise me so I'm trying to understand. | 21:01 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | chown? doesn't that change ownerships? | 21:02 |
| kAworu | Poisoned_Dragon: yes. It seems that if you chown a directory auto-mounted by gvfs, say /media/myuser/usbdrive0 it will be preserved accross mounts / reboot | 21:02 |
| kAworu | Poisoned_Dragon: although the directory itself will be removed when umounted. | 21:03 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I think the runlevel of gvfs allows it to make changes regardless of permissions. | 21:03 |
| kAworu | (I come from FreeBSD and those magic tricks make me curious ;) | 21:04 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | The closest experience I have to some level of BSD is Mac OSX. By that point, you rarely get to see what's behind the gui. | 21:05 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | ok, holstein. Here's the specifics to my problem. It seems that java apps, that place a notification icon in the notifications tray, create a graphical glitch in the upper left hand corner of the screen, while composting is enabled. | 21:08 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | java apps that don't use the notification tray, don't exhibit this kind of graphical behavior. | 21:08 |
| kAworu | Poisoned_Dragon, holstein: alright, if you care here is how the auto-mount magic works: | 21:23 |
| kAworu | thunar use gvfs-mount, which use udevd through DBUS | 21:24 |
| kAworu | udisksd sorry, not udevd. | 21:24 |
