[12:32] ernesto`, ok, I just looked once at your code and thought(out of my own idiocy) it may be the problem:D sorry:o === JKnife [n=jknife@unaffiliated/jknife] has joined #xubuntu [12:32] who is it? [12:32] JKnife: zOap [12:33] JKnife, me me me:) [12:33] zOap: ok === maxamillion enables cloaking on JKnife as to not anger the op gods [12:33] do Applications->Settings->Window Manager Tweaks [12:33] maxamillion: screw em.. i will be gone soon [12:33] JKnife, ok, no "compositor" tab [12:33] zOap: got it open? === mode/#xubuntu [+o maxamillion] by ChanServ [12:33] just change a random setting and save [12:33] JKnife, yes [12:33] JKnife: i got your back ;) [12:33] ;) === mode/#xubuntu [-o maxamillion] by maxamillion [12:34] JKnife, done [12:34] then press ALT+F2 and type in "mousepad ~/.config/xfce4/mcs_settings/xfwm4.xml" [12:34] grml xfce crashed again... reboot [12:35] zOap: it open? [12:35] JKnife, eeh, Alt+F2 is routed to Firefox... [12:35] -_- open up xfrun4 ^__^ [12:35] ernesto`: no need to reboot, just restart X ... CTRL+ATL+BackSpace :) [12:35] maxamillion: dont tell people that.. =\ [12:35] already tried.. full freeze :( [12:36] JKnife: why not? ... if X is froze, that is a good alternative [12:36] JKnife, done [12:36] other chan [12:36] ernesto`: can you do CTRL+ALT+F1 and get a command line login? [12:36] zOap: ran the mouse pad command? [12:36] JKnife, it's empty [12:36] JKnife, yes, empty file [12:36] =\ [12:36] BLAH [12:36] ahh.. where is that file.. [12:36] on.. do this open a terminal [12:37] do "cd .config" [12:37] already rebooted.. i check that with the next freeze :) [12:37] and type "find ./ -iname xfwm4.xml" [12:37] ernesto`: okies [12:38] JKnife, ./mcs_settings/xfwm4.xml [12:38] AHHH [12:38] ok.. type "nano ./mcs_settings/xfwm4.xml" [12:38] ernesto`: if you get to there, login and type "top" and it will show you all the processes running ... figure out which one is taking up all your cpu and do "kill " then Ctrl+Atl+F7 to get back to the GUI desktop :)_ [12:38] look for a line that has compositor [12:39] and change the value from 0 to 1.. [12:39] JKnife, well I prefer vim but what the hell:D [12:39] so do i [12:39] but i don't know how smart you are so baby steps [12:39] JKnife, well there is no line that says Compositor... [12:40] no where in it? [12:40] JKnife, it's okey:) just baybystep me [12:40] no paste it [12:40] JKnife, nope [12:40] urgh... kernel panic after typing "route" 0_0 [12:40] ernesto`: what?????????????? [12:40] :( [12:40] guess i should chanche distrib.. this one doesnt seem to like my laptop :0 [12:41] JKnife, #pastebin [12:41] JKnife, hang on, I can paste it to pasebin.ca it looked horrible.. [12:42] JKnife, http://www.pastebin.ca/331528 [12:43] JKnife, aah, saw you posted at #pastebin.. well the link is better.. [12:43] ernesto`: honestly, it might be because of the old hardware ... i had that problem as well and ended up having to use debian "sarge" stable release with the 2.4.x kernel :/ [12:44] o.O [12:44] one sec.. [12:44] JKnife, ok === zenrox [n=zenrox@pool-71-115-200-45.spknwa.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #xubuntu [12:44] stupid beryl messing up my teaks dialog [12:44] heheh [12:46] ok route set up correctly with netmask, doens't work either [12:47] ernesto`: bah! ... ermmm... [12:47] any ideas what it can be? =) [12:47] do you think the 2.4.x kernel would do better? [12:48] ok.. new settings time to restart XFCE4 [12:48] JKnife, new setings? where? [12:48] ernesto`: its possible ... can't promise anything, but i do know that 2.4 likes old hardware more than 2.6 .... and DSL runs on a 2.4 kernel ;) [12:49] i use DSL-N with 2.6 kernel ;) [12:49] anyways.. i should think about it [12:49] oh ... hrmm [12:49] yeah, i'm out of ideas ... the card is recognized so it should work, there is probably just something we aren't thinking of [12:49] JKnife, did you edit the pastebin.ca url? what is the new url? [12:50] ... i havn't yet.. hold on [12:50] JKnife, okey [12:50] i tried the same with gentoo.. had a working connection during install but couldn't set it up afterwards [12:51] maybe i should install DSL on harddisk :0 [12:51] ernesto`: tried checking the loaded modules? [12:52] no, why? [12:52] JKnife: yeah, ifconfig can see the interface, access it, put it up/down, etc .... just doesn't seem to be able to ping anything [12:52] it was the same.. card recognized, eth0 set up correctly -> no connection [12:52] ohh [12:53] JKnife: yeah ... i am out of ideas [12:54] me 2... what's a good alternative to ubuntu? :0 [12:54] ernesto`, that would have to be debian [12:54] some drivers work when compiled into kernel, but don't work as modules... [12:55] hmm yes.. didn't dare to install debian because of "only for gurus" reputation ;) [12:55] ernesto`, afterall, ubuntu is based on debian, and the debian devs does some amasing stuff. [12:56] ok.. now i got default back.. [12:56] i loved apt, thats y i chose ubuntu [12:56] ernesto`, naah, that's not true. you get mainstream debian too, just not as mainstream and easy to use as ubuntu [12:56] ernesto`, me too:) [12:56] JKnife, url? [12:56] ernesto`: debian ... ubuntu is a derivative of ubuntu but debian is still the mother distro of the world ;) [12:56] AHHHHHH [12:56] ~/.config/xfce4/mcs_settings/wmtweaks.xml <-- that be the file [12:56] is it as well documentized as ubuntu? :) [12:57] JKnife, aaah [12:57]
