| crdlb | Dragoonboy, what video card? | 01:46 |
| Dragoonboy | ATI X1650 AV530LE (or something like that) | 01:46 |
| Dragoonboy | The ATI drivers are loaded... xfce works good | 01:47 |
| crdlb | fglrxinfo says? | 01:47 |
| Dragoonboy | Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". | 01:47 |
| Dragoonboy | display: :0.0 screen: 0 | 01:47 |
| Dragoonboy | OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org | 01:47 |

| Dragoonboy | OpenGL version string: 1.4 (1.5 Mesa 6.5.2) | 01:47 |
| crdlb | Dragoonboy, lsmod|grep fglrx | 01:48 |
| Dragoonboy | ok | 01:48 |
| crdlb | what does that say? | 01:48 |
| === crdlb is terrible at troubleshooting fglrx btw | ||
| Dragoonboy | same thing | 01:48 |
| === Dragoonboy is greatful becasue your the only one helping | ||
| crdlb | Dragoonboy, that's what lsmod|grep fglrx says ? | 01:49 |
| Dragoonboy | oh | 01:49 |
| Dragoonboy | hango n | 01:49 |
| Dragoonboy | that dosnt return anything | 01:49 |
| crdlb | Dragoonboy, then: sudo modprobe fglrx | 01:50 |
| Dragoonboy | FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.20-13-generic/volatile/fglrx.ko': No such file or directory | 01:51 |
| Dragoonboy | thats prolly bad | 01:52 |
| crdlb | !ati | 01:52 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 01:52 |
| crdlb | Dragoonboy, try: sudo apt-get install linux-generic | 01:54 |
| Dragoonboy | dont think I have tryed this yet... ill let you know | 01:54 |
| Dragoonboy | linux-generic is already the newest version. | 01:55 |
| crdlb | hmm, no idea | 01:58 |
| Dragoonboy | I did find the fglrx listed as disabled... | 01:58 |

| crdlb | probably because fglrx hasn't been updated since the fork | 02:11 |
| crdlb | (between xfree86 and xorg) | 02:11 |
| Dragoonboy | hmmm | 02:12 |
| Dragoonboy | does all the ubuntu's use xorg? or just Xubuntu? | 02:12 |
| crdlb | all the ubuntu's are 100% identical except for the desktop | 02:13 |
| crdlb | you can easily turn ubuntu into xubuntu for example by apt-get installing xubuntu-desktop | 02:13 |
| Dragoonboy | well I do not have ubuntu-desktop installed... should I install that (its hugue!) | 02:14 |

| pewee | encountered that, like, twice | 02:31 |
| pewee | for me it worked with hardcore rebooting again and again, and poof | 02:31 |
| asdfasdffdas | hmm | 02:31 |
| Dragoonboy | are you looking for /dev/hda? I never saw it... I just used the installer and edited the partation | 02:31 |
| pewee | more of a workaround than a solution, but works for me | 02:31 |
| Dragoonboy | It said my drives were scsi too... and they are SO not.... but it works... | 02:32 |
| asdfasdffdas | I'm looking for partitions, but on the partition editor there are no partitions only the device /dev/sda and the option to create a new partition table | 02:32 |

| asdfasdffdas | I can see all my partitions through fdisk, though | 02:36 |
| asdfasdffdas | however I can only see them through fdisk as root, is there a way to run the installer as root or login as root? | 02:37 |
| asdfasdffdas | I'm not very concerned about security atm | 02:38 |

| j1mc | dell is going to do desktop linux, but no word on the distro yet. http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS8436091466.html | 06:17 |
| sigmamu188 | j1mc: any word how much they are going to charge for the privilege? | 06:19 |
| j1mc | hehe . . . no. i've just seen that article is all. | 06:19 |
| sigmamu188 | j1mc: besides they wouldn't even send me a new motherboard when my XPS fried they wanted me to mail my computer back to them and pay shipping both ways they suck at customer support | 06:20 |
| j1mc | well, forget them, then. i'm buying an HP. ;-) | 06:21 |
| j1mc | wait, i already did. :) | 06:21 |
| sigmamu188 | j1mc: lol, atleast they are admiting to community support | 06:22 |
| j1mc | yeah . . . and they're going to give preference to free drivers. | 06:22 |
| sigmamu188 | j1mc: i would rather be talking to #xubuntu on freenode that to dell anyday | 06:22 |
| j1mc | :-) me, too, sigmamu188 | 06:23 |
| sigmamu188 | j1mc: all about the free drivers, its a really good concept though i want to get a toughbook and run linux on it, not sure a bout any compatibility issues though | 06:23 |
| j1mc | sigmamu188, me neither. there's a site, though . . . linux on laptops, where you can search different makes and models. | 06:24 |
| j1mc | people report how linux ran on their different laptops... | 06:24 |

| sigmamu188 | j1mc: thanks for the tip they actuallu have toughbook reviews, no ubuntu or xubuntu though | 06:28 |
| sigmamu188 | j1mc: maybe ill be the first. who knows | 06:28 |
| j1mc | sigmamu188, :-) yeah, if the other distros give good results, then xubuntu likely will, too. | 06:29 |
| sigmamu188 | j1mc: amen to that | 06:29 |
| j1mc | at some level, it's just a matter of linux compatibility. | 06:29 |
| sigmamu188 | j1mc: im still kinda new to linux, almost a year since i frist started, the first distro was DSL on a flash drive I highly reccomend to to everyone | 06:32 |
| sigmamu188 | DSL = Danm Small Linux | 06:32 |

| Buddha| | Is there a PPC version of Xubuntu? | 09:07 |
| somerville32 | I believe so, yes. | 09:14 |
| Buddha| | Nevermind, I found it. It's Edgy, though. No Feisty version as of yet, it seems. | 09:17 |
| somerville32 | Interesting. One second. | 09:18 |
| somerville32 | http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/ports/releases/feisty/beta/ | 09:18 |
| somerville32 | Tada :D | 09:18 |
| Buddha| | Ooh, Thanks! | 09:24 |
| Buddha| | I've got a G3 iMac I'm trying to get up and running. | 09:24 |
| somerville32 | :) | 09:26 |
| Buddha| | I think the screen on it is bad, though. | 09:27 |

| spasticteapot | Anyone know where the Xubuntu Feisty ISO is? | 09:52 |
| somerville32 | I sure do! | 09:52 |
| somerville32 | Do you want the Feisty Beta? | 09:52 |
| somerville32 | Or today's build | 09:52 |
| spasticteapot | Er...whichever one is least likely to go boom when I install it. | 09:55 |
| spasticteapot | I'm not a Linux expert - I've used it for a few months as my primary OS, though. | 09:55 |
| spasticteapot | I could'nt get any wifi managers to work, so I had to use IWconfig for everything. | 09:56 |

| spasticteapot | Finally...things might actually RUN! | 10:01 |
| spasticteapot | Also...anyone else notice that Windows Vista seems a lot like Enlightenment or KDE, but a lot slower. | 10:01 |
| spasticteapot | Tried it a day or two ago. My 1ghz Pentium-M with Intel Integrated felt more responsive than his dual-core e6300 with ATI X1800. | 10:02 |
| spasticteapot | I run Xubuntu, he runs Vista. | 10:02 |
| spasticteapot | And he's not even set up with an antivirus yet. | 10:02 |
| spasticteapot | Hello? | 10:07 |
| somerville32 | lol | 10:10 |
| === somerville32 went to go eat dinner. | ||
| === somerville32 is now back. | ||
| spasticteapot | Sad, but true. | 10:11 |
| somerville32 | When I first tried Vista I noticed it looked a lot like KDE too | 10:11 |
| spasticteapot | Yes...but buggier. | 10:11 |
| somerville32 | hehe | 10:11 |
| spasticteapot | At least when a Linux program works, it STAYS working. No mysterious DLL-related corruption. | 10:11 |
| somerville32 | Yeah, I have a windows xp laptop next to me that is suffering from the mysterious dll-related corruption and nothing network-related works. at all. | 10:12 |
| somerville32 | And you have to really dig in before it starts giving error messages. | 10:13 |
| somerville32 | Most of the time it just does nothing | 10:13 |
| somerville32 | lol | 10:13 |
| spasticteapot | Eh...I kept getting BSODs. | 10:15 |
| spasticteapot | Everyone says "Linux is so hard to use!" | 10:15 |
| spasticteapot | Heck, I had more compatibility under Linux than I did with windows. | 10:15 |
| spasticteapot | The wireless on/off button worked! | 10:15 |
| somerville32 | I know what you mean. | 10:17 |
| somerville32 | Wireless is shot on the Windows 2000 install | 10:17 |
| somerville32 | I popped in live cd and I had a network connection when I booted. <g> | 10:17 |
| spasticteapot | The problem is when it won't work even when you install the drivers. | 10:19 |

| brokenbin | i didn't know there was a pastebin | 11:12 |
| brokenbin | lol | 11:12 |
| hyper_ch | there are many | 11:12 |
