JoeBlackenheoyea, yes I tried and it worked, however, there is only one issue, is that everytime I add a configuration for an application, I have to stop and start the service, but it does work, thank you all00:07
JoeBlackenball, thank you, I sure will need that soon00:07
ballJoeBlacken: You can have shell scripts for certain tasks or workflows, that spawn your selection of apps right where you want them.00:09
ball...so that's nice.00:09

xubuntu313Hello, i am attempting to install xubuntu 13.04 on an old compaq 6720s, it's only giving me errors back and i don't know what step to take next, anyone help?10:55
xubuntu313nobody reply?11:06
baizonxubuntu313: what errors?11:09
xubuntu313dev/sda errors, chroot errors11:13
xubuntu313right now i'm trying to install an earlier ubuntu version though and it seems to be working so far11:13
TheDexter1111whats with 13.10? is it ready?11:15
xubuntu313i tried it earlier and didn't have any luck11:16
TheDexter1111xubuntu313: fair enough11:17
xubuntu313TheDexter1111 No wait, i tried 13.04, sorry my misstake11:18
elfyTheDexter1111: works 'ok' there are some bugs - I've a shutdown issue, but it's not even reached alpha1 yet ;)11:20
TheDexter1111yeah, its a bit early to update11:22
TheDexter1111whats the major differences between them?11:23
xubuntu313this is very weird to me, my compaq 6720s accepts an older ubuntu version but not 13.04 xubuntu11:23
Sysijust run 12.04 LTS if it works11:24
xubuntu313could you link me to the download?11:24
Sysihttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/12.04.2/release/11:27
xubuntu313Sysi thank you, which would you recommend for me to use? the normal PC (Intel x86) desktop CD or PC (Intel x86) alternate install CD11:29
Sysidesktop has graphical installer, alternate gives some custom options (that you're unlikely to use)11:30
xubuntu313Alright, thanks for the help11:30

Aienais there a way to tell the printer to resume printing when it runs  out of paper in xubuntu 12.04?16:33
ARM9no way16:39
ARM9xubuntu 12.04 is just a few MB too big to fit on a CD rom16:40
Unit19312.04?  That one should be CD sized.16:41
Unit193Aiena: Can't you just press the flashing button/power button/etc?16:41
ARM9that's what I thought16:42
ARM9apparently infrarecorder does not concur16:42
Unit193What size CD?  Did you check the md5sum to confirm it's good?16:43
ARM9ye olde regular run of the mill 700MB CD rom technology16:44
ARM9checksum is also good16:44
ARM912.04 is 707MB or such16:45
Unit193Hah, 64bit, right?16:45
Unit193Yep...16:45
ARM9yeah, let me guess, 32 bit version fits?16:45
Unit193Yep, but if you're good with the debian installer: xubuntu-12.04.2-alternate-amd64.iso         14-Feb-2013 00:25  651M16:45
ARM9oh lookielookie16:46
MacuserHi. If the dhcp is reset on my Mac by going to sleep. Will that cause me not to be able to ssh to my Linux box?16:46
Macuseroriginally I ssh'ed from my Macbook Pro to my Linux desktop. Then I took the wificard out of my linux box and also closed my Mac laptop. Then the next morning, I opened my Mac laptop and also plugged the wificard back into the linux box and then I tried the same command and it didn't work16:46
MacuserFinally, it worked after I turned my wifi off and on again on my Mac. I'm not sure if that's why it started working again16:46
SysiMacuser: you need to have network access on both computers and use a right IP address, you could maybe set your linux machine to use static IP16:47
Macuserbut what about the hostname?16:48
SysiI don't know about avahi's bonjour compability, IP is guaranteed to work, usually DHCP server gices same device same IP on reconnect16:49
Macuserthe hostanme is always the same16:49
MacuserLike I sshed yesterday then it didn't work this morning then all of a sudden it worked again16:49
ARM9magic16:50
Macuserwhat's what someone else said. black voodoo magic16:50
Macuserany ideas?16:52
ARM9what sysi said16:53
ARM9never owned a mac so can't really chime in with anything here other than general networking16:54
MacuserI mean I don't understand why it would stop working. My only guess is because i took out the wificard then plugged it back in. But why would it stop working if the hostname is the same? And why would it start working again? Maybe it was because I turned the wifi off on my mac and then back on16:55
koegsas long as the wifi card on the linux box is working ok, there is no reason for ssh not to work16:56
Macuseryeah. I have no idea why it wasn't. It's kind of annoying16:57
koegsthe ssh-daemon never stops, so it will immediately accept the connection as soon as the wifi is connected, i think the problem has to be found on the macbook16:58
MacuserI even reset the ssh with no luck16:59
Sysiwhatever provides the hostname is the issue, ssh does no such thing17:05
AienaUnit193 no my printer goes off if I press the power button and there is no other button. are you sure there is no way to tell cups to resume printing?17:05
Unit193Aiena: You check in http://127.0.0.1:631/jobs/ ?17:06
koegsfrom experience and not a general thing: sometimes a dsl-router-box uses the hostname from the dhcp-client and then provides the IP via local dns, that may take some time17:07
AienaUnit193 I have made a note of it will try it out next time I print.17:10
Aienait is useful even for USB printers?17:11
Unit193Ours has one button, you press and hold/press it, not sure which. :P17:11
Aienaok I haven't tried long presses thanks for the tip17:11
Aienaon windows the hp driver handles it with a desktop pop up17:12
Aienadriver and software17:13
Unit193I don't print often, so can't help much.17:13
Aienaok17:13
Sysiisn't there applet in the notification area that lets you manage print jobs?17:15
Aienabut it does not detect that the printer has run out of paper17:15
Aienaor something like that17:16
Aienait still shows processing but the printer indicator blinks red like expected.17:16
dunpealHi. How do I add a nameserver in Xubuntu 13.04?18:06
dunpealIn (Gnome) Ubuntu, I understand it's done through Network Manager, but I can't find the interface for Xubuntu.18:07
brainwashdunpeal: but xubuntu does also ship with the (gnome) network manager18:08
Unit193The little panel icon, or open it directly with  nm-connection-editor18:09
dunpealOK, thanks, but it doesn't seem to work unfortunately18:09
Unit193what's  nm-tool   show for DNS?18:10
dunpeal    DNS:             192.168.11.20118:10

max_hi peeps!!19:20
max_Im a newbie to Linux! How's everyone?!19:20
pleia2!hi19:20
ubottuHi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay!19:20
pleia2:)19:20
max_pleia2, Hi19:21
pleia2max_: this is a support channel so please feel free to just go ahead and ask questions (regular chat is over in #xubuntu-offtopic)19:21
max_I've just installed Xubuntu xfce onto an old crappy laptop! hehe19:21
max_pleia2, actually Ive got a question: How do you change drive in Terminal. dont seem to be working for me :-(19:22
pleia2max_: I'm actually at work so I can't help much now, you should ask the whole channel :) but it will help to know what you mean by "change drive"19:23
* pleia2 back2work19:23
max_lol19:23
max_Actually Ive got a question people please : How do you change drive in Terminal. dont seem to be working for me :-(19:24
Sysiwhat do you mean "change drive"?19:24
max_not only change directory cd but completely change drive19:26
geniimax_: Linux doesn't use the idea of C: D: E:  and so on like Windows does. There is one filsystem that starts everything called the root or /    then all else are inside directories below that. So that a USB drive you plug in is attached to something like /media/USB-name/      and so on like this.19:27
max_ok so if I want to access my sd card >> ?19:27
Sysicd /media/[press tab twice]19:28
max_what does pressing tab twice do?19:29
geniimax_: Tab key does autocomplete ... soo it should tell you the devices it sees under the /media directory. The sdcard should have some name in there, if it's plugged in.19:30
max_Oh I see!19:31
genii( the name it has will vary by manufacturer or the name it was given when formatted, etc)19:31
max_clever!! but what if it sees more than one?19:31
Sysitry to choose the right one19:32
max_touble is if I do: sudo fdisk -l it gives me my sd card with the name:  mmcblk0p119:32
max_how do I access that?19:32
Sysirun "mount"19:32
Sysiit tells path where it's mounted19:32
max_OK I tell you what Ive done, Ive downloaded an image of a version of linux I need to run on my raspberry pi, unzipped it with 7zip, then dd to the sd card but now I would like to actually access it from the sd card o maybe boot from it. How can I?19:34
max_I'm following this tutorial >> http://www.linuxsystems.it/2012/06/debian-wheezy-raspberry-pi-minimal-image/  but only done the 2 first steps. Stuck now :-(19:37
max_any help?19:38
Sysiif you type cd /media and press tab few times, do you get anything?19:40
Sysidoes *anything* happen19:41
nantouterminal and htop19:46
nantouthere are like 5 processes all named java dnetworkadress.cache.ttl=0  that I cannot shut. I mean, I press f9 and confirm, but those processes never die, It consumes 90% of my cpu19:46
nantou-enableassertions freenet appears at the end of the lines19:47
max_Sysi, sorry was on the phone20:14

max_hang on20:22
max_nah20:22
