| zimzum_ | hi, does anyone know how to increase the window border size in Xubuntu? | 01:58 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | zimzum_: If I remember correctly, that's more theme based. | 02:09 |
| zimzum_ | Unit193, ah well -- tried some other built in themes and the borders were all the same size afai can tell | 02:18 |
| zimzum_ | do you know what folder the themes are stored in? | 02:19 |
| Unit193 | /usr/share/themes/ and ~/.themes/ I may be remembering quite wrong. | 02:24 |
| zimzum_ | you got it | 02:27 |
| Unit193 | (Wrong on the borders, gtk-theme-editor may help.) | 02:28 |
| zimzum_ | okay, I'll try and see what I can find | 02:30 |
| gry | https://pastee.org/jnvm8 what did I break here? | 04:12 |
| pleia2 | gry: looks like this is related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/octave3.2/+bug/465005 | 04:14 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 465005 in octave3.2 (Ubuntu) "octave3.2 fails to install via apt-get with libumfpack.so.3.2.0 error" [Undecided,Invalid] | 04:14 |
| gry | I don't get libumfpack line | 04:15 |
| pleia2 | don't worry about that, later in the bug someone has your same problem and a solution | 04:16 |
| gry | literally - I don't see a line like that in my output | 04:16 |
| gry | ah | 04:16 |
| gry | yes, thanks | 04:17 |
| pleia2 | sure | 04:18 |
| gry | added this detail to Octave wiki itself so others have it without skimming irc and bugs logs | 04:21 |

| cfhowlett2 | anyone home? what's the keyboard shortcut to call the terminal | 06:25 |
| elfy | cfhowlett2: Super+T | 06:31 |
| cfhowlett2 | elfy, thanks. | 06:34 |
| elfy | I believe that there is a change coming - ctrl+alt+t | 06:36 |
| elfy | or at least it's being discussed | 06:36 |
| Unit193 | And commited, may have been uploaded to Saucy too. | 06:37 |
| elfy | Unit193: thanks - wasn't sure - just know it's not working here yet :) | 06:43 |
| Unit193 | elfy: And it won't, unless you dump your .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml (May have to do it with xfce not running.) | 06:45 |
| elfy | :) | 06:47 |
| SoP | Hi guys, I am about to install xubuntu on my laptop after buying an SSD | 11:12 |
| SoP | I still have a hard drive in my second drive bay, so i was wondering how i should divide the partitions... | 11:13 |
| SoP | Right now i have a 200MB boot and 50 GB root partition on my ssd | 11:13 |
| baizon | SoP: i have root and /home on my ssd | 11:13 |
| baizon | my media is on HDD | 11:14 |
| SoP | and /home (400 gigs) on my hdd | 11:14 |
| baizon | SoP: how big is your ssd? | 11:15 |
| SoP | My ssd is only 64GB, so i supposed it would be better to put /home entirely on the hard drive | 11:15 |
| SoP | but I was wondering about /usr/local, /var and /tmp? | 11:15 |
| baizon | SoP: well it depends. I got a 40GB SSD and both root and home are on it | 11:15 |
| SoP | baizon, (for me) i believe 40 gigs of /home wont be enough | 11:17 |
| baizon | SoP: well all my configurations from home are on the SSD. The other "big" stuff is on the HDD | 11:17 |
| baizon | i got it mounted into /home/user/Media | 11:18 |
| SoP | I see, thats a good idea | 11:18 |
| baizon | because when you put home on your hdd programs will start fast but they need to read/write cache/config which will get slow because they have to access the HDD | 11:19 |
| baizon | A question... There is a icon which pops up when some additional things have to be done, for example when installing flash/dropbox etc. Where can i find information about it? I want to write a script which activates this information icon. | 11:28 |
| NewbieLinux | Hello? | 11:29 |
| baizon | hi | 11:30 |
| NewbieLinux | Hi is this where I could get some assitance with xubuntu? | 11:30 |
| NewbieLinux | Its relating to a "hdd:0 out of disk" error at boot | 11:31 |
| baizon | NewbieLinux: you can ask here or on #ubuntu | 11:31 |
| Sysi | baizon: "xwininfo" might tell | 11:31 |
| NewbieLinux | Ok thanks baizon | 11:33 |
| NewbieLinux | So its alright I explain my problem here to you? | 11:33 |
| NewbieLinux | Crap I got a short time, Thanks anyway | 11:39 |
| baizon | Sysi: thanks, problem solved :) | 11:39 |

| raju | need help about binding separate /home to a fresh install Xubuntu System. | 11:57 |
| baizon | raju: yes, and the problem is? | 12:03 |
| raju | baizon, fresh system not taking /home as a home place | 12:04 |
| baizon | raju: have you formatted it and set the filesystem? | 12:04 |
| raju | no , its a separate home partition and from my old ubuntu system | 12:05 |
| Sysi | raju: check UUID with "sudo blkid" if you know the partition and add it to /etc/fstab | 12:05 |
| raju | it's moung with out any problem . Sysi but the problem is how can makde my system to use /home as its home partition . | 12:07 |
| Sysi | by mounting the partition to /home | 12:08 |
| raju | ok i will try | 12:09 |
| Sysi | if you want to use the old user's home folder you need to have same username and maybe chown files to new user if the id is different | 12:09 |
| raju | oh no , here they are different :( | 12:10 |
| Sysi | well, you can copy files | 12:11 |
| raju | you mean from /home to new home ? | 12:12 |
| Sysi | from old user's folder to new user | 12:13 |
| raju | got it :) | 12:13 |
| Sysi | moving with mv would probably work better though | 12:13 |
| raju | thank you :) Sysi | 12:14 |

| SoP | (for which I didn't find the answer by googling) | 15:18 |
| Pici | Just ask. | 15:18 |
| SoP | When i want cron to do a certain job every day, but my pc is off when it should run, will it run automatically when it boots? | 15:19 |
| baizon | SoP: cron -> no, anacron -> yes | 15:19 |
| SoP | Even when it's actually already too late for the job? | 15:20 |
| SoP | I'll look into anacron | 15:20 |
| baizon | cron will just drop the job, anacron will run it | 15:20 |
| SoP | I see, that's exactly what i needed, thanks! | 15:21 |
| kim_plausible | hi, how is the support for switchable gpu tech like optimus at the moment? | 15:22 |
| Sysi | not great but it's there | 15:24 |
| kim_plausible | a few years back i tried to install xubuntu on a laptop with 2 gpu's (hard to find one without them), but i couldn't even run it live | 15:24 |

| SoP | kim_plausible: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM0NzE | 15:25 |

| Antisober552 | Hi guys how can i remove a driver from the black list | 17:33 |
| brainwash | Antisober552: check the config files located /etc/modprobe.d/ | 17:45 |
| Antisober552 | Ive done that and theres a p54pci blacklisted i need to un-blacklist that | 17:46 |
| brainwash | comment out the driver entry | 17:46 |
| Antisober552 | Sorry | 17:47 |
| Antisober552 | I dont inderstand | 17:49 |
| brainwash | add # before that specific entry -> "#blacklist ..." | 17:51 |
| brainwash | this way the entry will be skipped and the driver module won't get blacklisted | 17:52 |
| Antisober552 | Okai thx | 17:53 |
| brainwash | or simply delete the entry :) | 17:53 |
| Punna | o.o the creator of yum died. | 18:22 |
| Antisober552 | I dont have permission to edit the config or eve delete the entry | 18:59 |
| Sysi | use gksudo | 18:59 |
| Sysi | "gksudo mousepad /etc/modprobe.d/file" | 18:59 |
| Antisober552 | Thx | 19:00 |

| antisober552 | Hi guya i stil have a permission problem so i cant edit any files in root and as i dont know the root password cand do anything anyone know around this | 20:12 |
| kRush | ask your sysadmin | 20:17 |
| Pici | antisober552: is this your computer? | 20:17 |
| genii | If you're booting up into recovery and having this problem it's probably the filesystem mounted read-only. | 20:18 |
| antisober552 | :-) yes | 20:18 |
| antisober552 | I need to edit the blacklist but i have no permission | 20:18 |
| Sysi | sudo mount -o remount,rw / | 20:19 |
| ochosi | having a system where you don't know the root password sucks anyway | 20:20 |
| ochosi | just saying | 20:20 |
| Pici | !sudo | antisober552 | 20:21 |
| ubottu | antisober552: 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 | 20:21 |
| antisober552 | Oh of cause i fotgot about that | 20:21 |
| genii | Might need - force,remount,rw there | 20:21 |

| jessejazza | Does xubuntu recognise a 3.5 ins floppy? It doesn't seem to on my machine running 12.04 LTS. | 20:42 |
| jessejazza | Reason being that my CD/DVD has died... so has my spare. As this is for my test machine i was thinking that i can use PLoP on the floppy to boot the USB stick. Thanks | 20:43 |
| === schizo is now known as bwall | ||
| genii | jessejazza: Does: lsmod | grep floppy ..produce a result? | 20:45 |
| Noskcaj | jessejazza, i think it works. If you want to install of a floppy there still is a netboot image | 20:46 |
| jessejazza | I will try! I'm not too technical but have used ubuntu since 2007. What i don't follow is that gfloppy seems to have been deprecated on xubuntu anyway. | 20:47 |
| jessejazza | Noskcaj: good point... thanks. although if one has two machines one might as well download a full iso. When i upgrade i like to do all backups and then do a clean install on each machine. | 20:53 |
| jessejazza | genii: i get floppy 60310 0. But it doesn't seem to boot. In ubuntu 8.04 (lkast ubuntu version i used) i remember in the file manager that it always foudn the floppy drive | 20:58 |
| nasir | how do i back my apps . i do not want to install them again when i format again. | 21:07 |
| holstein | nasir: not really an easy way of doing that... i would just make a note of what you have, and grab the configs in /home | 21:08 |
| nasir | back-up | 21:08 |
| nasir | ok | 21:08 |
| nasir | thanks | 21:08 |
| holstein | in synaptic, you can generate a list pretty easily that can be added back to synaptic | 21:08 |
| holstein | i like to just have a list like a command i can paste in.... "sudo apt-get install whatever whateverelse" | 21:09 |
| holstein | since, for me, there is a lot of "kruft" that i actually dont want to install.. i like to review what i have each time, and take a fresh install as an opportunity to do better, rather than the same | 21:09 |
| nasir | ok. my problem is internet here sucks and its expensive | 21:10 |
| holstein | nasir: there are likely other ways to go that you can use | 21:11 |
| nasir | ok | 21:11 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/186691/is-it-possible-to-backup-installed-software-installers | 21:11 |

| holstein | basically, boot the recovery mode, make the filesystem useable, since it will be read-only at that point with mount -o remount,rw,errors=remount-ro / | 22:17 |
