| [02:30] <asterismo> i need help with Xubuntu | |
| [02:32] <asterismo> it appears to be that XFCE preferred applications do not remember selected apps, and every time i boot up my laptop there is no defined preferred app and when i click on "choose application", it does not have any app in the list, say, web browser... and i have to click in "other" and write custom command, say firefox. that occurs for all apps | |
| [04:19] <ParkaSpace> Hi. I'm trying to get my printer to work on Ubuntu. Supposedly it's supported, but needs a driver. I've downloaded it, but it is not wanting to install without a password for root. | |
| [04:20] <ParkaSpace> I'm pretty sure that I don't actually want to set a root password from what I've read... | |
| [04:27] <mutes> parkaspace you already set a root password | |
| [05:21] <nomnex> hi | |
| [06:00] <dropbear> is someone able to talk me though how to use chmod to change the permissions on an external drive I have. It for some reason after formatting reverted to be root only. but I want read/write privelages for all users etc | |

| [06:01] <holstein> dropbear: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive#Mount_The_Drive | |
| [06:01] <holstein> the chown part in particular | |
| [06:02] <dropbear> thank you | |
| [06:05] <dropbear> I also have a rather strange questions. I updated to ubuntu 11.10 and now I have my desktop without anything down the side or along the top or anything. is there a simple fix to this? | |
| [06:12] <bioterror> simple fix, reinstall | |
| [06:12] <bioterror> another one could be removing ~/.gconf | |
| [06:13] <dropbear> oh okay | |
| [06:13] <dropbear> I will try that | |
| [06:13] <bioterror> and hmm | |
| [06:13] <bioterror> yeah, you could try with a new user account if it has the same proble | |
| [06:14] <bioterror> if so, I would probably purge gnome\* :P | |
| [06:14] <dropbear> okay | |
| [06:15] <dropbear> in relation to my earlier problem about trying to change the read/write for my drive. when I enter mount -a it tells me that my mount point does not exist | |
| [06:18] <holstein> dropbear: run fdisk -l | |
| [06:18] <dropbear> okay | |
| [06:18] <holstein> make sure the drive is showing up | |
| [06:19] <dropbear> it's there | |
| [06:20] <dropbear> it's /dev/sdb | |
| [06:23] <dropbear> bioterror: is there a way to reinstall 11.10 and keep all of my file... like through the update manager? rather than making a USB and booting with that | |
| [06:24] <holstein> i would always backup any data before reinstalling or whatever | |
| [06:25] <holstein> you can paste the output of sudo fdisk -l to a pastebin for closer inspection | |
| [06:25] <holstein> and elaborate as to what the isssue is... | |
| [06:27] <dropbear> I can't do anything with my external drive because in the drive propertiees it is all root only privelages. I tried editing fstab but when I enter mount -a it comes up telling me that my mount point does not exist | |
| [06:28] <holstein> dropbear: when i have added an external drive, i have followed the steps that in linked, and all has been well for me | |
| [06:29] <dropbear> ok | |
| [10:36] <spidy> hello | |
| [10:41] <spidy> I'm having some troubles with installing new version of PHP. Can someone help me? | |
| [11:21] <nlsthzn> Hi all. I am having a bit of trouble on my first Wordpress install. The blog is up and running, and attempting my first post I tried to insert a few images but they are not showing up in the posts... Place holders but no images. Any ideas? | |
| [11:40] <nlsthzn> Making some headway... the links to the images aren't correct... works when I manually edit them... just have to figure out now how to make them point to the correct images automatically | |
| [13:40] <UncleTuna> Howdy folks | |
