[12:24] dooglus: ive done absolutely nothing. JUST finished installing xubuntu [12:25] FlippantBird: ok, but are you inside XFCE? or at the full-screen console thing? [12:25] its full screen [12:25] hmmm, ok [12:25] what if you hold alt and press F2? === AmyRose [n=amyrose@UNKNOWN.wctc.edu] has joined #xubuntu [12:25] login prompt [12:26] ok, logged in... [12:26] FlippantBird: alt-F1 will take you back to the first terminal [12:26] FlippantBird: Alt-F1 through Alt-F6 are 6 different terminals, each should have its own login prompt [12:27] alt-f1 prompted me to login too [12:27] how can i tell if the xserver is running? [12:28] FlippantBird: I don't know what happened then. maybe it's the alt-f7 screen which you were seeing before. that's where the GUI should be. once in the gui, you need Control+Alt+F1 to get back out [12:28] FlippantBird: ps -ef | grep /X [12:28] alt-f7 is just a blinking cursor [12:29] wait, no other console will load now [12:29] FlippantBird: control-alt-F1? [12:29] it does nothing [12:31] FlippantBird: sounds like something's wrong with the X server then I guess [12:31] switching to F7 got you stuck in a broken X server screen? [12:31] i guess. its a black screen with a curser in the top left [12:32] it wont respond to any keystroke [12:32] but its blinking [12:33] control-alt-backspace? [12:33] that should shut down the X server [12:33] but it probably won't work for you [12:33] it does nothing [12:33] reboot? [12:33] unless you have ssh enabled - but if you've just installed, you won't have [12:34] no, first thing i tried was to open a terminal window [12:34] try control-alt-delete [12:34] and it doesnt have a network card [12:34] that has been known to cause a clean shutdown [12:34] does nothing [12:34] sounds like you'll need to reboot then, yes [12:37] ok, its at the desktop again [12:38] is there a way to open the terminal from some other place besides the applications menu? [12:40] FlippantBird, you can create a shortcut to it on the panel [12:40] Or you can press alt+F2 and type 'xterm'. [12:41] or make a cron job to open one every 5 minutes [12:42] X crashed again/// [12:42] ... [12:43] startx starts X? [12:44] it does. but "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" restarts the GNOME display manager [12:44] ok [12:44] i have the desktop back, and xterm works [12:45] why does the terminal link from the applications menu crash everything? [12:46] FlippantBird, would you just press alt+F2, and run 'xterm' please? [12:46] Find out if it's the menu that's causing the problem, or you launching xterm. [12:47] its the menu. i already said xterm works [12:47] That's what you get for jumping into a conversation a page too late :D [12:48] i said it 5 lines ago... :P [12:48] For some strange reason, I blanked the 'term' part of 'xterm' [12:49] so i guess xterm is not the default terminal? [12:50] Let me just check [12:50] FlippantBird, Applications>System>Terminal, right? [12:50] That's xterm, yeah. [12:51] huh [12:51] running from the menu crashes X, but from alt-f2 does not... [12:52] So it's a problem with your xfce installation, then. [12:52] I'd sudo apt-get remove and then sudo apt-get install the xubuntu essentials package [12:52] The name of which i can't remember. [12:53] will i need internet access for that? [12:53] Yes [12:54] !xubuntu-essentials [12:54] it has no network card [12:54] so no can do [12:54] !xubuntu-desktop [12:54] k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [12:54] Aha. [12:54] I can't help then, i'm afraid. [12:55] its ok, ill just run the terminal the hard way from now on [12:55] thanks for the help\ [12:56] Add it to the panel? [12:56] It's less clicks :P [12:56] after i get my wacom working... [12:56] I rarely use the application menu for anything nowadays - all the stuff I use with any regularity is clustered along the top of my screen now. [12:57] i think i need a properly working input device next [12:58] dumb question... after i install the wacom-tools package, how do i run it? [01:01] anyone? [01:01] In the terminal, just type wac, then press tab - if it's what I would call a sensibly named package, it'll autocomplete the command name for you [01:03] it brings up wacdump [01:03] how do i bring up the next item? [01:04] Add an extra letter after the c === Grey_Loki is googling for an answer [01:04] !wacom-tools [01:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about wacom-tools - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi [01:05] I think the command could be called wacom-tools. [01:06] i thought so too, but its not [01:10] nevermind, i guess wacdump was the only thing installed === deltron [i=ryan@75-132-14-76.dhcp.stls.mo.charter.com] has joined #xubuntu === uranther [n=james@74-130-34-243.dhcp.insightbb.com] has joined #xubuntu [01:19] what's the best way to go about installing xfce if I have vanilla ubuntu feisty installed?
