knosysHey guys a little silly question; What means the X mark that some directories have, in the xfce enviroment?00:18
knosyslike a big gray X00:18
knosysi think it has to do with permissions, nvm :P00:20

bullgard4[Debian 7.7] The Xfce application menu > Accessories shows two times the menu item »Screenshot«. How can that happen, and how should I08:59
bullgard4[Debian 7.7] The Xfce application menu > Accessories shows two times the menu item »Screenshot«. How can that happen, and how can I remove one of them?09:00
Unit193Simply by having two programs installed with the same GenericName.09:02
koegsbullgard4: this is the xubuntu-support channel, not Debian09:07
bullgard4Unit193: You seem to use "GenericName" as a technical term. How do you define "GenericName"?09:08
Unit193bullgard4: In the desktop file.  Last bit of information:  grep Name=Screenshot /usr/share/applications/*  but if you need any more help, there is #debian.09:10
bullgard4Unit193: I do not need any more help. I managed to solve my problem. Thank you very much for your help.09:32
Unit193Sure.09:51

Guest60691this is my problem with Xubuntu. I installed it a while ago. The hard drive has no files. http://imgur.com/M7dAY7G15:28
Guest60691I mean the hard drive has no files when I installed Xubuntu. When I'm booting the OS, this always shows up.15:30
GridCubeGuest60691, looks like it failed to install15:35
GridCubeyou should try again15:35
Guest60691Actually, it starts if I wait for about 1 minute before entering "exit"15:36
drcGuest60691:   s/install/install correctly ... GridCube has the optimum answer...re-install.15:37
Guest60691ok I'll start again. Thanks :)15:38
GridCubeGuest60691, then you sound like you have some faulty harddrives15:38
GridCubei would backup everything and ty and get a new hd15:39
Guest60691I think really. Because this HDD is an old one. a HP dv6500 laptop.15:39
=== Guest60691 is now known as aster45
drcGuest60691: I'd try re-installing as GridCube said (it'll take what? 15 minutes).  If the same thing happens, then I'd look at the hardware/hdd15:41
aster45thanks drc and GridCube. thanks for the support15:42
aster45this was the 2nd time I installed it. I better buy a new HDD.15:43
GridCubethat wouldnt hurt15:43
GridCubeaster45, if you can boot a live session then your computer should work15:44
aster45yes, it did. My computer worked.15:44
drcGuest61563: did you md5sum the iso?  Probably not a problem but best to check everything before spending money.15:45
aster45ok I'll get back. I'll do it.15:45
aster45This was the result :  ac7829d1b274f4d8b6ac106ec5985c9f xubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.iso15:49
aster45drc : I checked out the UbuntuHashes with what the iso produced after md5sum15:50

Naphatulwhen is 14.10 going to be released?17:15
xanguaask mark17:16
slickymasterWorktomorrow Naphatul17:17
Naphatuloh then great, thought it would be some time later17:18
SaiBorkHey all17:25
SaiBorkQuick question17:26
SaiBorkI'm looking at installing a linux destro on one of my machines to run xbmc on and vmware workstation17:26
SaiBorkI was looking at Xubuntu and am planning on using 14.10, b217:26
SaiBorkOn the site it mentions that 14.10 release is planned for October. Would it be wise to wait with the install until then, or is the beta stable enough and easy enough to update to final release?17:27
slickymasterWorkSaiBork, 14.10 is going to be released tomorrow, so why not wait?17:28
drcSaiBork: 14.10-release should be out tomorrow (sometime)17:28
xanguathere is xbmcbuntu that already comes with xfce and xbmc SaiBork17:29
SaiBorkAh, if it's tomorrow I can definitely wait!17:29
SaiBorkThat's all I needed to know17:29
SaiBorkI know xangua, but as i want more with it then just xbmc I thought i'd go for this or lubuntu17:30
drcOn the other hand, is there anything (known) that will change between today (b2) and tomorrow (release)?17:30
drcthat is "b2+updates"17:30
SaiBorkI'm not in a hurry, so might as well wait until tomorrow with it17:30
SaiBorkGive it a nice clean start17:31
SaiBorkOh well, thanks all, cya17:36
Noirook, so I dragged files into a blank CD like I do with windows, and they are showing up, how do I finalize I want it to burn? It's a CD-R and opening xburn is overcomplicated for one, and two, refuses to blank it as blanking 'writes' thus removing the one write I get on the CD18:00
Poisoned_DragonYou can't blank a cd-r. It's only a write once disc.18:02
Poisoned_DragonAnd, I've never tried to use thunar to add files to a CD. I don't believe it works that way.18:03
NoiroI know it only writes once, but I only need it to write the files once, how do I do that easily?18:05
NoiroI just threw a live boot of xubuntu so I could pull some files off a corrupted windows partition as it has decently fast boottime. I just need the files written to the cd :P Cmon, this isn't hard18:06
Poisoned_DragonIt's not if you don't make it hard. Why not use a USB stick, if the files can fit on a CD?18:08
Poisoned_DragonHell, even I rarely burn discs, anymore.18:08
Noirobecause I'm already booting off my USB stick :P18:09
Noirowhy won't xfburn just let me burn files to the CD once?18:09
Poisoned_DragonDid you add the files in xfburn?18:09
Noiromy only options are: burn image, blank disc, audio cd, or data composition18:10
Poisoned_DragonThis is why you have more than one USB stick.18:15
Poisoned_DragonDid you try data composition?18:16
Poisoned_DragonI believe that's how you burn data CDs.18:16
xubuntu80oHey how do i access root on the live usb?18:16
NoiroTrying that now and for some reason it thinks my blank DVD is 700mb :/18:17
Poisoned_DragonSilly, you are root on a live USB session.18:17
Noiroo.O18:17
Poisoned_DragonNot you, Noiro. :)18:18
xubuntu80owait really. everytime I type SU in it asks for pass18:18
* Noiro has no idea what she's doing18:18
xubuntu80oso ubuntu@ubuntu is root?18:18
Poisoned_DragonYou shouldn't need us. Just use sudo.18:18
Poisoned_DragonSu not us18:18
Poisoned_DragonThe live session has no password. So sudo won't prompt for one. It's almost like root.18:19
xubuntu80ook than. Thanks18:20
drcNoiro: re: 700MB...I'd look for some way to explicitly tell xfburn it's a DVD not a CD (I don't use xfcburn so I can't say how)18:23
NoiroI think I finally figured it out. I'm not used to xubuntu, I usually run gnomey stuff, haha18:25
Noiro'data composition' is such a weird wording18:26
Poisoned_DragonLol18:26
Poisoned_DragonI didn't do it.18:26
drcOne problem is that USB's are so common nowadays that CD/DVD knowledge is getting uncommon :)18:26
Poisoned_DragonPretty much.18:27
Poisoned_DragonAnd, with laptops phasing out optical drives, it's only going to get worse.18:27
drcNoiro: re: "'data composition'"  You have to remember that applications are written bu coders, not real people so teminoplgy is very often "weird":)18:29
drcnot to mention spelling :(18:29
Poisoned_DragonYoung folks will look at optical media like they do with vinyl or 8 tracks.18:29
drc78's forever!18:29
Poisoned_DragonLol18:29
drcNoiro: Are you getting the burn accomplished?18:30
Noirodrc, I think I got it figured out ^^, thank you. My bf's a programmer so you'd think I'd be used to it :P18:30
drcNoiro: Ah, so you're imaginary :)18:31
Noiroimaginary?18:31
drcStereotype...no real programmer has ever had a "real" gf18:32
NoiroT.T18:32
* knome points out that this is the support channel and the general chatter channel is at #xubuntu-offtopic 18:32
Noiroto be fair, I'm studying for my CCNA so...I'm not entirely computer illiterate. Linux and coding just arn't my forte18:32
Poisoned_DragonBwwaaahahahaha!18:33
Poisoned_DragonImaginary.18:33
drcxubuntu80o: You have su vs sudo under control now (i.e., you can do what you wanted to do)?18:34
Noiroanywho, thanks for the help!18:34
Poisoned_DragonNo prob18:35
Hedgeworkdrc: I have three BFs currently...rarely have a GF, though :P18:35
