| rogerthebird | hello fellow xubuntu users | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| XRS1 | hi | 00:04 |
| rogerthebird | at least someone around here is talking | 00:04 |
| rogerthebird | Got a question. | 00:04 |
| rogerthebird | I'm using the Albatross GTK+ theme, and I would like to change the text color of dialogs so I can read them better. Is there any way I can do this? | 00:05 |
| XRS1 | looks like its controlled by css files in /usr/share/themes/ | 00:20 |
| XRS1 | ..... | 00:21 |
| XRS1 | well at least now I know | 00:21 |
| xubuntu422 | hi people. I would like to ask a question. How can I recover my friends Xubuntu? I haven't got experience with this system so please can anybody help me? cheers | 00:35 |
| XRS1 | whats going on? | 00:36 |
| xubuntu422 | apparently he installed updates and since than He cannot start the system.. It just freezes while it's loading | 00:37 |
| XRS1 | what i would do is make boot the computer with a live USB, create a folder called bak in the root of the drive, move his personal files to /bak; erase all other folders, reinstall xubuntu, then move his files back where they go | 00:37 |
| XRS1 | dont format | 00:37 |
| XRS1 | just reinstall after deleting everything but what u want saved | 00:38 |
| XRS1 | easiest solution | 00:38 |
| xubuntu422 | ok and can I make the same thing with a Xubuntu Installation CD? | 00:39 |
| XRS1 | yes you can do that with the xubuntu install CD | 00:39 |
| xubuntu422 | and than plug in the USB | 00:39 |
| XRS1 | you can use the CD or you can make an .ISO of the CD and "burn" it to iso | 00:40 |
| XRS1 | "burn" to USB* | 00:40 |
| XRS1 | or download the xubuntu .ISO and "burn" that to USB | 00:41 |
| xubuntu422 | because that is what I have tried but I could not access some of his files.. it just told me that I have not the access right or something like that | 00:42 |
| XRS1 | open a terminal and type gksudo thunar | 00:42 |
| xubuntu422 | whoo :) terminal what is that? | 00:42 |
| XRS1 | that will open the file manager as root. if you move the files as root, they will belong to root, you will have to then open a terminal and paste this: | 00:43 |
| XRS1 | sudo chown nobody.nogroup /bak -Rv | 00:43 |
| XRS1 | to open a terminal go to the "Start" menu -> Terminal Emulator | 00:43 |
| XRS1 | the "sudo chown nobody.nogroup /bak -Rv" command will make everying in the /bak folder belong to no one so you dont have to worry about ownership restrictions on the files u backed up | 00:45 |
| xubuntu422 | ok I'll try.. even if it looks like nuclear sience right now :) | 00:46 |
| XRS1 | you can come in here and get help while on the live disk | 00:46 |
| xubuntu422 | ok.. cheers | 00:46 |
| xubuntu422 | I am going to start it now | 00:47 |
| xubuntu422 | ok I have started xubuntu on his pc with a help of XUBUNTU install cd | 01:03 |
| xubuntu422 | what next again? | 01:03 |
| XRS1 | open a terminal and type gksudo thunar | 01:04 |
| xubuntu422 | so to open the terminal I have to go into the menu in up left corner? | 01:04 |
| XRS1 | yeah go the the application launcher menu in the upper left -> select Terminal Emulator | 01:05 |
| XRS1 | then move all the files you want saved into a folder on his hard drive called bak | 01:05 |
| XRS1 | then delete everything from his hard drive except that back folder | 01:06 |
| xubuntu422 | i am not a pro in it.. how shall I move it into this folder? | 01:06 |
| XRS1 | use the mouse to drag and drop files | 01:07 |
| XRS1 | you can do that gksudo thunar comannd into another terminal to get a second window to make things go faster | 01:08 |
| XRS1 | drag and drop from source window to destination window | 01:08 |
| XRS1 | so like, have 1 window open on the left that is his home folder with all of his files, and on the right have the other window the bak folder. drag files from where he has them on the right to where you are backing them up on the left | 01:10 |
| XRS1 | wow i dont know my left from right... | 01:10 |
| xubuntu422 | well I'll need to ask you to guide me step by step.. so I have opened the terminal.. in this terminal I am seeing one line "xubuntu@xubuntu:~$ | 01:10 |
| XRS1 | yes this is likke DOS in windows (this is also what you would be doing if he had windows) you type commands into that window and press enter | 01:11 |
| xubuntu422 | yes but are this commands the same like in windows? | 01:11 |
| XRS1 | different OS. now since you got errors telling you you cant open the files (no permission) you want to type: | 01:12 |
| XRS1 | gksudo thhunar | 01:12 |
| XRS1 | this will open thunar as the administrator (aka root) | 01:12 |
| XRS1 | gksudo thunar | 01:12 |
| xubuntu422 | ok it has opened another window | 01:14 |
| XRS1 | so do it again to get a second | 01:14 |
| XRS1 | using one of the windows, navigate to his home folder where all of his files should be saved | 01:14 |
| XRS1 | using the other window (2) create a folder in his hard drive called bak | 01:15 |
| XRS1 | drag and drop his files to the bak folder | 01:15 |
| xubuntu422 | shell I create a folder or something where I am going to move all the files? | 01:16 |
| XRS1 | using the other window (2) create a folder in his hard drive called bak | 01:16 |
| XRS1 | thats where you are going to save everything | 01:16 |
| xubuntu422 | is there any search engine in Xubuntu system that will help me to find all the files I need to save? | 01:22 |
| XRS1 | launcher menu -> accessories -> catfish file search | 01:23 |
| xubuntu422 | because I am struggling a little bit to find what I need | 01:23 |
| XRS1 | his stuff should be located in /media/xubuntu/%his-harddrive-serial-number/Home/%his-username | 01:25 |
| XRS1 | in thunar there should be a shortcut to his hard drive on the left. named whatever size hard drive is it | 01:25 |
| XRS1 | in his hard drive it will be in /Home/his-user-name/ | 01:26 |
| xubuntu422 | yes I tought the same but in thunar all I can see is "file system" , "root" , "browse network" | 01:27 |
| xubuntu422 | there is no hdd drive | 01:27 |
| XRS1 | select files system, then media, then the serial number for his hard drive (50-50 chance of choosing the right one) then Home, the his user name | 01:27 |
| xubuntu422 | but I can see it in this search engine | 01:28 |
| XRS1 | right click and "Show in file manager" | 01:28 |
| XRS1 | then note the location | 01:29 |
| XRS1 | it should give you breadcrumbs you can follow up at the top in the address bar | 01:29 |
| xubuntu422 | all I can see under media is "cdrom" icon | 01:29 |
| XRS1 | launcher menu -> file manager | 01:30 |
| XRS1 | do you see a shortcut for the hard drive on the left? | 01:30 |
| XRS1 | do you see a shortcut to the hard drive on the desktop? | 01:30 |
| xubuntu422 | yes | 01:30 |
| XRS1 | open it. the address on the top will have the breadcrumbs telling you where its located | 01:31 |
| xubuntu422 | I can see his drives in file manager | 01:31 |
| XRS1 | use those breadcrumbs as a guide. follow the trail in the window you have open as root | 01:31 |
| xubuntu422 | they just became visible even in the thunar after I have opened them in file manager | 01:33 |
| XRS1 | good | 01:33 |
| xubuntu422 | they were not visible before | 01:33 |
| XRS1 | it had not been mounted yet | 01:33 |
| XRS1 | you mounted it by opening it | 01:34 |
| xubuntu422 | ok so once again what shall I do next? | 01:34 |
| xubuntu422 | I have found what I need and I will copy it into the bak folder | 01:35 |
| xubuntu422 | is that right? | 01:35 |
| XRS1 | okay so you have 1 window open where his files are. that is source window. now in destination window, navigate to the beginning of his drive (you should see folders like etc, home, var. make sure it is his hard drive, open home and make sure his username is there) go back to the begining of the drive now that you have confirmed its the right place, create a folder called bak and move the files there | 01:37 |
| XRS1 | then when you are done go into the View menu in the destination folder -> select location selector -> Toolbar style. now copy the address ffrom the address bad | 01:39 |
| XRS1 | bar* | 01:39 |
| xubuntu422 | give me a sec please it's copying now | 01:41 |
| XRS1 | then open a terminal (start -> terminal emulator) and type: sudo chown nobody.nogroup (then use CTRL + Shift + V on the keyboard to paste the address of the bak folder) then spacebar then -Rv so it should look something like: | 01:41 |
| XRS1 | sudo chown nobody.nogroup /path/to/bak/folder -Rv | 01:41 |
| XRS1 | then delete everying off his hard drive except that bak folder. then install xubuntu (make no changes to the filesystem just use it as is and install) | 01:42 |
| XRS1 | now i have to go ill be back in 2 hours | 01:42 |
| xubuntu422 | ok thank you for your patience.. | 01:43 |
| xubuntu012 | hello Anybody here? | 02:24 |
| Unit193 | !hi | 02:35 |
| ubottu | Hi!, 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! | 02:35 |
| pentest | is 12.04 Alternate CD ltsp broken.. | 04:09 |
| pentest | it fails to build chroot environment | 04:09 |
| cfhowlett | pentest, tis not | 04:09 |
| cfhowlett | pentest, md5sum check? | 04:10 |
| pentest | yup.. | 04:10 |
| pentest | ok.. so I do F4 while installing .. and choose the last option which is LTSP.. | 04:10 |
| pentest | it goes all the way till the end of installation and then fails to build chroot environemnt | 04:10 |
| cfhowlett | pentest, bring this over to #ubuntu and note the error messages you're getting | 04:10 |
| pentest | okay | 04:11 |
| cfhowlett | more eyes in #ubuntu | 04:11 |
| pentest | http://imgur.com/19Gkzfr | 04:15 |
| pentest | just for your eyes only | 04:15 |
| cfhowlett | pentest, as LTSP is server related, might be worth checking in at #ubuntu-server as well | 04:16 |
| Unit193 | I do know someone had LTSP working fine in Xubuntu 12.04. | 04:17 |
| pentest | gives me hope.. | 04:17 |
| cfhowlett | pentest, #edubuntu does ltsp all the time as well. | 04:18 |
| pentest | yeah..makes sense for edubuntu | 04:19 |

| louigi | hey fellas! just installed xubuntu 12.04, having problems with kdenlive | 07:05 |
| louigi | It starts with the error: QWidget::insertAction: Attempt to insert null action | 07:05 |
| louigi | then, no matter what icon you click - Add Clip or whatever - kdenlive crashes | 07:06 |
| elfy | louigi: http://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=11156 though you're likely to be better asking in #kubuntu for it | 07:27 |
| louigi | elfy, I did try that, but ny Task Manager shows no process of that kind %) | 07:30 |

| puff | Now that's annoying... my external video stopped working for no obvious reason. Undocked my laptop last night, put it into suspend mode, went elsewhere, used it for a couple of hours, put it back in suspend mode, brought it home. Docked it this morning, brought it out of suspend mode, external monitor says no video signal, going into power saving mode. | 16:47 |
| puff | Okay, so that's even odder... shut down everything and did logout/restart, video came back JUST as it was shutting down... and now everything is working right. | 16:57 |
| puff | As the years go by, linux feels more and more like windows :-( | 16:57 |
| Sysi | you didn't try restarting X11 or reloading graphics driver? | 16:58 |
| puff | Sysi: No, by the time I'm restarting X Imight as well reboot. | 18:34 |

| kristal | It's funny, Nemo(nautiluc reskin for cinnamon) is the same size as thunar. | 21:11 |
| brainwash | interesting, but this isn't the right place/channel to discuss development releases or offtopic stuff | 21:13 |
