| thomas001 | hello, how can i organize my workspaces in rows and colums, like a 2x2 grid? the layout seems to depend whether the workspace switcher applet is oriented vertical or horizontal. then, only rows resp. columns are possible. | 10:27 |
| TheSheep | thomas001: yup, you can't | 10:36 |
| TheSheep | thomas001: you can *display* them in rows in the switcher, though | 10:36 |
| TheSheep | thomas001: that's in the switcher properties | 10:36 |
| TheSheep | thomas001: right-click on the switcher, select properties and change the 'rows' field | 10:37 |
| thomas001 | oh | 10:38 |
| thomas001 | but now i really have a grid...so with Ctrl-Alt-Arrow keys....i can switch workspaces according to the shown layout | 10:38 |
| thomas001 | before i could only use left/right OR up/down and workspaces were lined up | 10:39 |
| thomas001 | thanks! | 10:39 |

| Magnussss | Hi, I have just installed Xubuntu 13.04 64-bit and are updating my system. it stops at. rmdir. failed to remove 'var/lib7os-prober/mount': Device or resource busy. anyone have some suggestion on why the update stops there? | 15:08 |
| psycho_oreos | There's probably a process that is using it. Check via lsof -i. | 15:09 |
| psycho_oreos | Also the binary in question sounds like as if you haven't chrooted in or something and am trying to do an update from outside of chroot. | 15:10 |
| Magnussss | I am trying to update the system via "Software Updater". that is it basically. | 15:11 |
| Magnussss | I have not set up my root yet. is this the problem+ | 15:12 |
| psycho_oreos | How do you mean you haven't setup your root yet? root directory? | 15:13 |
| Magnussss | i had no root access. Set it up with "sudo passwd root". But it just stays the same, nothing happens on the Software upddater | 15:15 |
| bekks | You had root access. It is provided by sudo. | 15:15 |
| bekks | !sudo | 15:15 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 15:15 |
| Magnussss | yeah, but the Software update situation. how do I manage do get it through updating. It is configuring linux-image-3.8.0-26-generic. | 15:16 |
| bekks | Magnussss: Which situation? | 15:18 |
| Magnussss | bekks, This one: Hi, I have just installed Xubuntu 13.04 64-bit and are updating my system. it stops at. rmdir. failed to remove 'var/lib7os-prober/mount': Device or resource busy. anyone have some suggestion on why the update stops there?. | 15:19 |
| bekks | Magnussss: Then check whats mounted there. | 15:24 |

| Magnussss | that is one of the lines from mount | 15:29 |
| Magnussss | bekks, can I do something about this? | 15:32 |
| bekks | Thats not the line in question. | 15:33 |
| bekks | Whats mounted at var/lib7os-prober/mount ? | 15:33 |

| rebbert | hi can anybody help me? I tried putting an xubuntu iso on my usb and it wouldn't boot correctly, and I cannot format the usb | 19:00 |
| David-A | how did you put the .iso on to the usb-memory? | 19:00 |
| rebbert | dd if=/location/of/xubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb | 19:01 |
| Belial` | did you check with fdisk -l to make sure it was /dev/sdb? | 19:01 |
| rebbert | I did, but I'll plug it in again and see if fdisk says anything | 19:02 |
| rebbert | WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdb'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. Disk /dev/sdb: 7803 MB, 7803174912 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 948 cylinders, total 15240576 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Device Boot Start End | 19:03 |
| rebbert | oops.. | 19:03 |
| rebbert | well I tried to format it after which came up with the GPT error | 19:03 |
| rebbert | but for some reason I'm not able to correctly format this usb | 19:04 |
| Sysi | create new partition table first | 19:04 |
| rebbert | should I use fdisk? | 19:04 |
| Sysi | gparted works | 19:04 |
| Belial` | i believe gparted will do it | 19:04 |
| Belial` | i've had something similar happen to me when i used unetbootin and some other usb creation tool. | 19:05 |
| Belial` | now i stick strictly to dd | 19:05 |
| Sysi | with dd you need to directly push to drive, not partition | 19:05 |
| rebbert | ok I made a new empty MSDOS table | 19:06 |
| Sysi | (ddrescue is a bit nicer than dd) | 19:06 |
| rebbert | I'm gonna unplug the usb then plug it back in | 19:06 |
| Belial` | Sysi, so like /dev/sdbX? | 19:06 |
| rebbert | it did not work... | 19:06 |
| Sysi | Belial`: /dev/sdX instead of sdXX | 19:07 |
| rebbert | let me post a screenshot | 19:07 |
| Sysi | rebbert: you need to create new partition after creating new partition table | 19:07 |
| rebbert | Oh | 19:07 |
| FoxyRK9 | I am installing Xubuntu on my Laptopand was wondering if there are any good themes | 19:09 |
| FoxyRK9 | Im looking for a dark theme due to my eyes | 19:09 |
| rebbert | I personally like this one | 19:10 |
| rebbert | http://killhellokitty.deviantart.com/art/DeLorean-Dark-Themes-3-8-379643446 | 19:10 |
| FoxyRK9 | Voyager is based off Xubuntu but all the ISos won't boot to Live USB so I decided to use Xubuntu. I liked that theme and was wondering if there was a theme to make Xubuntu look like it. | 19:12 |
| rebbert | ok... it seems gparted is having difficulties formatting this usb | 19:12 |
| David-A | there is a dark theme called "aud-Default", I think it is part of the Audacious music player. (many dark themes have poor distiction of active buttons and tabs and such, but this one is okay in that regard) | 19:13 |
| rebbert | stuck on create a new ext2 filesystem | 19:13 |
| rebbert | I'm wondering if my usb is corrupted.. | 19:13 |
| David-A | rebbert: it doesn't have U2 or some other stupid firmware in it? | 19:16 |
| David-A | *U3 | 19:16 |
| Sysi | it might take a while to create new partition | 19:16 |
| rebbert | how can one tell if it has firmware on it? | 19:16 |
| rebbert | it's a kingstone usb | 19:17 |
| David-A | if it has U3 it usually says so on the package and on the stick itself. it is as if they were pride of it. | 19:19 |
| rebbert | it most likely isn't then | 19:20 |

| xubuntu676 | I recently installed xubuntu 12.04.2 on an old Gateway 486 machine. Things work well excepting the screen resolution. It is locked in at 1024x768, despite the nVidia card being able to support other resolutions. I have downloaded and installed the nVidia driver but it failes with an error of 'undefined symbol: miTranslateRegion'. Use of an xorg.conf and other suggestions gathered in searches have not panned out. Is there anything | 21:06 |
| holstein | !nvidia | xubuntu676 | 21:07 |
| ubottu | xubuntu676: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 21:07 |
| holstein | i would do what it takes to install a supported proprietary driver, if there is one for your device, which you can sort out at that link ^ | 21:08 |
| holstein | xubuntu676: the nvidia configuration utilty should create an xorg.conf you can put in place.. thats how it worked for me | 21:08 |
| xubuntu676 | I have been to the VideoDriverHowto page, and it was quite helpful. I'll read through it again to see if I missed something. I did download the proprietary driver from nVidia, and executing the .run file worked without errors. On boot, the log file indicated the 'undefined symbol: miTranslateRegion' error, so I have been trying xorg.conf files. The end result is always that 'undefined symbol' error. | 21:12 |
| bekks | Run the .run again, and uninstall it. | 21:13 |
| bekks | Use the nvidia drivers provided in the Ubuntu repos. | 21:13 |
| Sysi | if it's an old card, check that you have a right version of the driver | 21:14 |
| xubuntu676 | The card is an old nVidia Riva TNT (rev04), which I did not see on the Ubuntu supported lists. I'll check again and try the Ubuntu version if I can find it. Searching the nVidia site for the TNT card led me to the .run file for the driver I loaded. I can try an uninstall, redownload, and reinstall to see if that makes a difference. Another question I have is does xubuntu support the xvesa driver instead of nouveau? | 21:18 |
| xubuntu676 | I have TinyCore that uses xvesa and that does allow selection of all of the possible nVidia resolutions. | 21:19 |
| David-A | xubuntu676: (as a general rule, you don't download and install things yourself in ubuntu. use the software center and to automatically detect and install a driver, the Additional Hardware Driver utility, in system settings) (Additional Hardware Driver, Language Support and Software Center all installs from the same ubuntu repositories) | 21:21 |
| Sysi | installing (nvidia) drivers manually isn't supported even if it might be more reliable than "the ubuntu way" | 21:22 |
| bekks | xubuntu676: That card isnt supported by nvidia since ages now. All you can do is using the nouveau driver. | 21:22 |
| xubuntu676 | Understood re the driver install and support, but since I could not find a driver on the ubuntu software center I decided to go the other route. I'll keep trying, as I do enjoy xubuntu and it seems to be running well on this old machine. Thanks all. | 21:26 |
| Sysi | I think that you can get "unsupported" resolutions even with vesa if you add them to xorg.conf | 21:27 |
| genii | The manpage for nouveau states support for nv4 and nv5 ( TNT and TNT2 ) | 21:30 |
| nantou | does xubuntu support 3o digits passwords? | 21:46 |
| nantou | 30* | 21:46 |
| knome | nantou, why wouldn't it? | 21:46 |
| Sysi | I don't think there's sensible limit | 21:46 |
| nantou | knome, noob asks | 21:47 |
| genii | I thought it was set in /etc/pam.d/common-password | 21:47 |
| nantou | please instruct the noob on how to change the passwoird | 21:48 |
| David-A | nantou: yes it can, I just changed to a 30 char passwd for a user on my system | 21:49 |
| David-A | nantou: you change passwd in the system settings for Users And Groups, or in a terminal with the passwd command | 21:50 |
| nantou | as a security measure, can I configure xubuntu so every time somebody writes an incorrect password 3 or 5 times, it shuts down and cannot be turned on for the next 15 or 30 minutes? | 21:57 |
| Sysi | do you have encrypted harddrive and grub password already? | 21:59 |
| nantou | ill have it encrypted as soon as I get the new HDD, didnt think of a grub password | 21:59 |
| nantou | that would be 3 passwords, right? encryption, grub and xubuntu | 21:59 |
| Sysi | grub passwd isn't mandatory but without it you might want to disable failsafe root without passwd | 22:01 |
| David-A | (have you seen the support questions how to bypass encrypted filesystem, because they forgot the password? don't forget it :) | 22:02 |
| nantou | right, i have a feeble memory, that may be a problem | 22:03 |
| Sysi | there's always this http://xkcd.com/538/ | 22:03 |
| nantou | lol | 22:05 |
| nantou | all my effort is rendered futile | 22:05 |
| David-A | (write it down and stick it to the monitor. but don't let a tv-team in. i'v seen in the news from a workplace a monitor with notes "user: xxx; password: xxx" clearly visible for the nation) | 22:05 |

| Guest15065 | what size is enough for /boot partition, my harddrive is 300Gb | 22:11 |
| Guest15065 | ? | 22:11 |
| David-A | Guest15065: come back, just wait a little more and you'd have an answer | 22:14 |
| genii | I'd probably want 250-300M for /boot and occasionally to clean out some kernels | 22:19 |
| nantou | i think i fkkd up, I cannot write the correct new password, any workarounds ? | 22:28 |
| David-A | is the keyboard layout the same when you sat the password as when you type it now? (and it contains other letters than A-Z 0-9) | 22:36 |
| nantou | David-A, no keyboard layout change, yes it includes lots of non ascii characters | 22:39 |
| David-A | nantou: (non-answer) I don't know what happens with unicode chars i passwds when you type them bios or grub or login or when already logged in. if and where locale encoding comes to play? (never dared to try) | 22:55 |
| David-A | nantou: (time to post a support issue how to bypass harddisk encryption now?) | 22:56 |
