| pppoe_dude | hi should 128 mb ram be sufficient for smooth running of xubuntu on a g3 500ghz? | 12:54 |
|---|---|---|
| kalikiana | probably yes | 12:55 |
| Commander-Crowe | might | 12:55 |
| kalikiana | of course it depends on applications | 12:56 |

| flashxfusion | i did like sudo apt update then upgrade then install xubuntu-desktop | 02:39 |

| mooniker | does it show you anything? | 02:41 |
| mooniker | does it click or look like it's trying to get in and then gives up? | 02:41 |
| flashxfusion | it shows me the desktop | 02:41 |
| flashxfusion | then i go back to the login screen | 02:41 |
| mooniker | that sounds kinda familiar actually. | 02:42 |
| mooniker | have you searched the forum? | 02:42 |
| flashxfusion | ive been googling but i coudlnt find anything | 02:42 |
| mooniker | Like I said, I haven't used/installed xubuntu in two years, so maybe I'm about to face what you in a couple hours or so. It does sound familiar. | 02:44 |

| JerryNS | Yes, as best I could. I didn't extract, and set it to Test first. | 05:32 |
| JerryNS | I had to use a different program than suggested, because at first the disk just burnt a fragment, finished, and ruined my CD. But the second burning program seemed to work correctly. | 05:33 |

| cyberyak | I'm back. trying to have my cake and eat it too. | 06:46 |
| cyberyak | I am trying to run apmd *AND* installing xubuntu-destop | 06:47 |
| cyberyak | only with a k | 06:47 |
| cyberyak | I have now made a blank package with equivs that "Provides: acpi, acpid, acpi-support" (I have also broken those out into 3 separate packages) | 06:49 |
| cyberyak | upon using apt-get install xubuntu-desktop, it still wants to install acpi | 06:50 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | It shouldn't be too difficult - boot with apm=on and noacpi, and you should have apmd instead of acpi. | 06:50 |
| cyberyak | noacpi flag doesn't seem to work, but acpi=off does. | 06:50 |
| cyberyak | I didn't add the apm=on | 06:51 |
| cyberyak | i just installed apmd and it started | 06:51 |

| cyberyak | moment of truth, the reboot. | 06:53 |
| cyberyak | no dice | 06:54 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | Error message? | 06:55 |
| cyberyak | actually, I guess at this point I can just let it install the acpi packages. | 06:55 |
| cyberyak | it won't be able to use them | 06:55 |
| cyberyak | but that is my annoyance. xubuntu-desktop requires acpid and acpi-support as packages. | 06:56 |
| cyberyak | I think I'm too tired at this point to think clearly about what I was initially trying to accomplish beyond using apm instead of acpi. | 06:57 |
| cyberyak | thanks PuMpErNiCkLe! | 06:58 |
| cyberyak | I will have to rethink what my next step is. | 06:59 |
| cyberyak | the main benefit of xubuntu-desktop is if I do a dist-upgrade with apt, correct? | 07:00 |
| cyberyak | so when I go from edgy to feisty, it will handle the deps. | 07:01 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | Yeah. | 07:01 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | 'xubuntu-desktop' as a package exists only because of its dependencies. | 07:01 |
| cyberyak | so, if I install only the packages I need, I may run into problems at some point upgrading. | 07:01 |
| cyberyak | right a meta package | 07:02 |
| cyberyak | actually, the line before last was more of a question. | 07:03 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | For distribution upgrades, yes. | 07:04 |
| cyberyak | so I will have to decide if that matters. | 07:17 |

| gordonjcp | hi | 12:25 |
| gordonjcp | has anyone got any words of wisdom on getting nvidia-glx working in Xubuntu 6.10 | 12:25 |
| gordonjcp | ? | 12:25 |
| TheSheep | gordonjcp: just install nvidia-glx, make sure the restricted modules are for the kernel you use, and replace "nv" with "nvidia" in xorg.conf | 12:26 |
| gordonjcp | TheSheep: yes, doesn't work | 12:26 |
| gordonjcp | 2 tics and I'll get you the incredibly helpful error message | 12:27 |
| gordonjcp | Error: unable to load nvidia kernel driver! | 12:27 |
| gordonjcp | ^ that's it | 12:27 |
| TheSheep | gordonjcp: check dmesg | 12:27 |
| gordonjcp | nothing more about it in Xorg.0.log | 12:28 |
| gordonjcp | nothing at all about it in dmesg | 12:28 |
| TheSheep | gordonjcp: make sure the uname -a shows the same kernel version as the linux-restricted-modules you have installed | 12:29 |
| TheSheep | gordonjcp: also, for some older nvidia cards, you must use nvidia-legacy drivers, as nvidia dropped support for them | 12:29 |
| gordonjcp | seems so | 12:30 |
| gordonjcp | It's a geforce 4, it *should* be supported | 12:30 |
| gordonjcp | is there a list, or some way to get the driver to tell me what's supported? | 12:32 |
| hyper_ch | !nvidia | gordonjcp | 12:34 |
| ubotu | gordonjcp: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 12:34 |
| gordonjcp | hyper_ch: been there, done that, had it working before *many many times* | 12:36 |
| gordonjcp | hyper_ch: it doesn't work, and doesn't produce a helpful error message | 12:36 |
| gordonjcp | oh hang on, it's different this time | 12:36 |
| gordonjcp | when I do sudo nvidia-glx-config enable | 12:37 |
| gordonjcp | I get "Error: unable to load nvidia kernel driver! Be sure to have installed | 12:37 |
| gordonjcp | the nvidia driver for your running kernel. | 12:37 |
| hyper_ch | sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules`uname -a` | 12:38 |
| hyper_ch | ups | 12:38 |
| hyper_ch | sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -a` | 12:38 |
| gordonjcp | done that | 12:40 |
| gordonjcp | doesn't work | 12:40 |
| === gordonjcp is starting to wonder if this graphics card is knackered | ||
| gordonjcp | odd that it was working perfectly before though | 12:41 |

| Grey_Loki | Or is it onboard? | 02:30 |

| Grey_Loki | Just done a quick google, turned up this - http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php?product=651 | 02:30 |
| Grey_Loki | Have you tried installing the ALSA drivers? | 02:31 |
| pk_butu | not yet... | 02:31 |
| === DarthLappy [n=Angus@pdpc/supporter/student/DarthShrine] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| Grey_Loki | They seem to be the best ones for it | 02:31 |
| Grey_Loki | ALSA, or OSS. | 02:31 |
| Grey_Loki | !alsa | 02:31 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 02:31 |
| pk_butu | okay let me check | 02:32 |
| Grey_Loki | I'm not actually that sure about how to go about installing ALSA. I think it's in one of the apt repositories, but someone else would have to help you with that | 02:32 |
| === Grey_Loki departs to do something ^.^ | ||
| Grey_Loki | Hope you get it fixed - shouldn't be too difficult to install ALSA | 02:33 |
| pk_butu | okay...but can you tell me how to ensure whther ALSA is already selected or not.. | 02:34 |
| pk_butu | is in mixer setting?? | 02:34 |
| pk_butu | I think alsa is installed in my PC | 02:35 |
| pk_butu | in synaptic package manager.... alsa-base...and alsa-utils backage is installed... | 02:36 |

| grazie | noname: you serious? | 07:53 |
| noname | grazie: yeah... what? the only thing I have heard is something about private radiostations or something. I found a lot of stuff in synaptic under amateur radio. And I just want to know what it is | 07:54 |
| grazie | noname: google amateur radio | 07:55 |
| === alnoktaalt is now known as alnokta | ||
| BrendanM | it's just like radio broadcast by ordinary individuals with private FCC licenses (which are fairly easy to get for low-power stations) | 07:56 |
| BrendanM | so...search utilities anyone? (with a GUI...obviously I already have find and grep) | 07:57 |
| apokryphos | I still think it's worth using beagle, though last time I used ubuntu's implementation of it I had problems. Who knows, might be good now. | 07:59 |

| Hawx | thanks, i'm here on irc with another machine though | 09:37 |
| Hawx | ....I couldn't figure out how to install XChat in linux : | 09:37 |
| Hawx | :/ | 09:37 |
| Hawx | ..perhaps you could help me out with that first! | 09:38 |
| maxamillion | Hawx: ah, thats something we can work on also (gaim will do irc in the mean time) | 09:38 |
| maxamillion | Hawx: sure ... | 09:38 |
| maxamillion | !xchat | 09:38 |
| Grey_Loki | Surely it's just a sudo apt-get install xchat? | 09:38 |
| ubotu | xchat: IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.6.6-0ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 275 kB, installed size 760 kB | 09:38 |
| maxamillion | Grey_Loki: its in universe, we would have to add the repo first | 09:38 |
| Hawx | On second thoughts... IRC and GAIM won't work over the connection my iMac has, it's going through internet sharing from another iMac, which is connected online through wifi... | 09:38 |
| Hawx | ...so I can only do http stuff on it | 09:39 |
| Grey_Loki | Aha | 09:39 |
| grazie | maxamillion: got a query for ya when you've sorted this... | 09:39 |
| Grey_Loki | I always forget about repo's. | 09:39 |
| maxamillion | Hawx: I am going to need you to type this command into the Terminal ok? "gksudo mousepad /etc/apt/sources.list" | 09:39 |
| maxamillion | grazie: np, if you want to go to #xubuntu-offtopic or just pm me i can talk now :) | 09:40 |
| Hawx | done | 09:40 |
| Hawx | it's loaded sources.list up in a text editor | 09:41 |
| maxamillion | Hawx: ok, in that file there will be a few lines with '#' infront of them .... i want you to find the two that say "universe" at the end of them and remove the '#' from infront of them (one will be something like "archive.ubuntu.com" and the other will be "security.ubuntu.com") | 09:41 |
| Hawx | And what will this do? | 09:41 |
| grazie | maxamillion: can't successfully burn the ppc herd 3 alternate ISO image. Who should I contact? | 09:42 |
| maxamillion | Hawx: once you do that we will save the file and then do "sudo aptitude update" which will then load those reposotiries into your apt-cache which will then provide the installation source for xchat :) | 09:42 |
| maxamillion | grazie: hrmmm.... i would assume that to be Jani, but if it seems like a problem with the image I would also make a bug report about it | 09:43 |
| Hawx | Okay, looks like it's downloading packages | 09:43 |
| maxamillion | Hawx: its technically downloading repository info | 09:44 |
| maxamillion | Hawx: anyhoo ... lemme know when that is done | 09:44 |
| grazie | maxamillion: as it's updated daily it may be ok now, but I'm a bit tired of making coasters :). How can I ask Jani? | 09:45 |
| Hawx | Bear in mind I'm a complete Linux newb, this is my first time at using it :) | 09:45 |
| maxamillion | grazie: only way i know to get ahold of him is the xubuntu-devel mailing lists | 09:45 |
| Hawx | okay, it's all done | 09:46 |
| grazie | maxamillion: ok | 09:46 |
| maxamillion | grazie: i can shoot an email out and see what i get as a reply (also still waiting on a reply about the last thing you asked me) | 09:46 |

| Hawx | grazie: sort of | 09:49 |
| maxamillion | Hawx: yeah, that's because you don't have the "build-essentials" ... if there is ever a program you want to install go to http://packages.ubuntu.com and search for it .... 95% of the time the program you are looking for can be installed by a simple "sudo aptitude install <package name>" | 09:49 |

| maxamillion | Hawx: then just alter the parameters of the internet share from the mac its connected to | 09:50 |

| kumamoto | need any further drivers or just install right out of synaptic? | 10:00 |
| maxamillion | kumamoto: you need to follow the beryl wiki ... you can install out of synaptic but you have to add the right repos and then edit some stuff ... but its all step by step on the wiki (i actually set mine up from home on my work machine via ssh and was plesantly surprised the next day at work) http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu .....enjoy :) | 10:02 |

| maxamillion | Hawx: anytime :) | 10:04 |
| kumamoto | does it matter if the one uses nvidia drivers or just he regular nv driver? | 10:04 |
| maxamillion | kumamoto: you need the newer nvidia driver (the 9xxx, its stable for x86 and beta for amd64 ... i use the beta amd64 and have had zero problems) | 10:05 |

| stinkythe1_ | how do you add to the default header file include path? isn't it $include? | 11:16 |

| crimsun | ...the what? | 11:17 |
| stinkythe1_ | the default place where the compiler looks for header files, like /usr/include | 11:17 |
| stinkythe1_ | isn't that kept in an environment variable? | 11:17 |
| crimsun | yes, CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS for C/C++ source, respectively | 11:18 |
| stinkythe1_ | because i'm trying to build mythtv, and it isn't including /usr/include/freetype2 as an include directory | 11:20 |
| stinkythe1_ | so it can't find the freetype headers | 11:20 |
| crimsun | it would make much more sense to apt-get build-dep mythtv | 11:21 |

| stinkythe1_ | the headers exist | 11:27 |

| maxamillion | systest: there aren't any net install images available for ubuntu | 12:06 |
| systest | I've installed my last 4 boxes that way | 12:07 |
| maxamillion | ? | 12:07 |
| systest | e.g., ubuntu, pulldown the netboot.tgz at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ | 12:07 |
| systest | then either PXE boot it or add it to the grub entry in a running system | 12:08 |
| maxamillion | ohhh ok | 12:08 |
| maxamillion | systest: i was thinking more along the lines of the debian style "here is a netboot iso image ... have fun" | 12:08 |
| systest | I was looking for one that would call the "xubuntu" packages. Suppose I could use the one above | 12:08 |
| systest | understood | 12:09 |
| systest | is there a netboot tar ball for xubuntu? | 12:09 |
| maxamillion | systest: not that i know of ... i would just suggest installing a base install of ubuntu from their net install and then "sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop" (or apt-get if you prefer) | 12:11 |
| systest | maxamillion: thanks. I will probably end up doing that. "server" install followed by xubuntu-desktop | 12:12 |
| maxamillion | systest: yeah, that would probably be the easiest way that i could think of especially if you are familiar with the ubuntu net install anyways | 12:13 |
