| thebillywayne | When I select verbose mode to see my bootup procedure I see that GNOME is trying to load. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop actually stops Gnome. | 02:17 |
| h3sp4wn | gdm is not gnome | 02:17 |
| TheSheep | thebillywayne: it's not, it's just wrong message | 02:17 |

| === Devo [n=sodkghks@user-0c9h0lq.cable.mindspring.com] has left #xubuntu ["Leaving"] | ||
| TheSheep | thebillywayne: normally you would just do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' | 02:23 |
| TheSheep | thebillywayne: the default settings suggested should work | 02:23 |
| TheSheep | thebillywayne: you might also need to insrease so called 'graphic aperture' in you bios settings -- that is the amount of RAM your card takes from the computer | 02:24 |
| thebillywayne | TheSheep, yeah 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' didn't work with the default settings. I'll try your suggestion of increasing the graphic aperture in my BIOS. Thanks for the tip. :) | 02:25 |
| TheSheep | thebillywayne: one more: Intel graphic cards suck ;) | 02:26 |
| TheSheep | thebillywayne: at least under Linux | 02:26 |
| TheSheep | although I've heard the support for the recent ones is very good | 02:26 |
| thebillywayne | TheSheep, well maybe we can bork it so the company will buy us a new one. my supervisor was a moron and suggested "hey I can just buy this old dung pile for a couple hundred" not thinking that this dung pile was what we'd have to work with. Maybe I can find an old nVidia card or something. | 02:28 |
| TheSheep | thebillywayne: if that doesn't help, try saving the x log and the output of lspci | 02:28 |
| TheSheep | thebillywayne: with that info we might be able to do somethng more | 02:28 |
| thebillywayne | TheSheep, I'll do that. | 02:29 |
| thebillywayne | Though Ubuntu loaded and ran fine, though it was too heavy on the poor PIII w/ 256 MB of RAM. | 02:30 |
| h3sp4wn | Cannot understand why ubuntu would work fine (they use the same X) | 02:31 |
| thebillywayne | h3sp4wn, me neither, unless it was an install problem. | 02:31 |
| h3sp4wn | thebillywayne: what version did you use ? | 02:32 |
| thebillywayne | h3sp4wn, feisty. | 02:32 |
| TheSheep | thebillywayne: you can just copy the /etc/xorg.conf file over if you still have it | 02:33 |
| thebillywayne | TheSheep, it was wiped when I reformatted to put Xubuntu on. Haven't really began using the *buntu's on the office computer, as we have a stinking Conexant winmodem and havent' secured a proper dial-up modem yet. | 02:34 |
| TheSheep | thebillywayne: you could, if you still have the ubuntu cd, boot the livecd and copy the xorg.conf file from it to the disk | 02:35 |
| thebillywayne | TheSheep, that's a really good idea. I'll try that. | 02:36 |
| thebillywayne | TheSheep, I used the alternate to do the install, but I'll give that a shot. | 02:36 |
| TheSheep | thebillywayne: I have to sleep now, but if that doesn't work, bring your logs here and either me or someone else will help you | 02:37 |
| thebillywayne | TheSheep, will do. thx for your help. go get some rest. :) | 02:37 |

| TheSheep | deniz_ogu1: did you try to scroll that file? maybe ito nly has empty beginning? | 07:21 |
| deniz_ogu1 | TheSheep: I did but wil try again. Which one do you advice vi or mousepad. (I miss my lovely gedit!) | 07:22 |
| TheSheep | deniz_ogu1: you can change most settings by doing 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' | 07:22 |
| TheSheep | deniz_ogu1: well, if you can use vi, then use it, otherwise use whatever you are comfortable with | 07:23 |

| j1mc | W8TAH: try typing "nm-applet" from the command line. | 10:36 |
| j1mc | W8TAH: don't use the quotes, though. :) | 10:37 |
| W8TAH | ok | 10:38 |
| W8TAH | AHHHH | 10:38 |
| W8TAH | kool | 10:38 |
| hyper_ch | BFTD: is it more efficient to have multiple swap partitions among different drives or have one large swap? | 10:39 |
| cjae_ | BFTD, I think I had to install something before I enabled the repositories and used the disc to install python via apt-get and then I got updated a few days ago | 10:39 |
| BFTD | gbet python 2.5 | 10:40 |
| cjae_ | BFTD, what? | 10:42 |
| BFTD | sudo aptitude install python 2.5 | 10:42 |
| BFTD | !python 2.5 | 10:42 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about python 2.5 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | 10:42 |
| BFTD | !info python 2.5 | 10:43 |
| ubotu | python: An interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version). In component main, is important. Version 2.5.1~rc1-0ubuntu3 (feisty), package size 137 kB, installed size 600 kB | 10:43 |
| j1mc | W8TAH: =) it works really well in xubuntu. if you close your terminal, nm-applet will also appear to close, but will appear the next time you reboot. | 10:43 |
| cjae_ | BFTD, why is my system not updating to this? | 10:44 |

| |Slurpee| | So I am trying to install xubuntu 7.04 on an old compaq prosignia desktop. | 10:56 |
| |Slurpee| | i can get to the xubuntu boot screen but once I select any opions I recieve "loading isolinux: disk error 58, AX = 4288, drive 9f" | 10:57 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: is it more efficient to have multiple swap partitions among different drives or have one large swap? | 10:57 |
| cjae_ | crimsun, hello | 10:57 |
| |Slurpee| | then I only have option "I/O error, error reading boot cd." "reboot?" | 10:57 |
| |Slurpee| | i tried new cd-r media. i can boot into other livecds such as knoppix. i currently have debian installed on the desktop's hard drive using grub. | 10:59 |
| |Slurpee| | any ideas ? | 10:59 |
| scur | tried the cd on another machine? | 11:00 |
| |Slurpee| | yes | 11:00 |
| Jester45 | hyper_ch: umm, idk for linux becuase its smarter but in windows one swap on the fastest drive, becuase windows only uses one swap and will pick the fastest but the others are wasted | 11:00 |

| scur | drive? so you've got 3 cdroms in the machine? | 11:01 |
| Jester45 | hyper_ch: i would say for linux to use 1 swap also | 11:01 |
| Jester45 | hyper_ch: i dont know a.k.a. idk | 11:01 |
| ciro314 | my Applications >> System >> Network >> hosts. is empty what should i do? | 11:01 |
| |Slurpee| | i swapped out the cd-rom drives | 11:01 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: ah :) well, I was thinking if you have swap on different drives and you read something from one drive... then the computer could still write to the swap partitions on the other drives... so I thought it might be more efficient | 11:02 |
| Jester45 | hyper_ch: can you copy files faster across one drive or two at the same time | 11:02 |
| Jester45 | hyper_ch: ok, how are your drives layed out, the partitions | 11:02 |
| cjae_ | crimsun, did you see my problem | 11:02 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: so far one big swap partition | 11:02 |
| Jester45 | hyper_ch: if one drive is for system and the other is for /home then put the swap on the /home drive because that should be less active | 11:03 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: http://phpfi.com/233087 | 11:03 |
| hyper_ch | root and home are on the same drive.. as is SWAP | 11:03 |
| scur | |Slurpee|, you've done everything i'd try (but I'm not an expert) :) you could always try netinstalling from debian (i've not done that with ubuntu though, only debian a few years back) | 11:04 |

| nopcode | i've tried to follow the installation isntructions for the nvidia driver | 12:09 |
| nopcode | but now X doesnt come up at boot | 12:09 |
| nopcode | it says "failed to load module nvidia" | 12:09 |
| nopcode | and "modprobe nvidia" says "error running install command for nvidia" | 12:09 |
| hyper_ch | nopcode: what nvidia card, what os, what instructions? | 12:12 |
| nopcode | 8800 | 12:12 |
| nopcode | i found them on some page, dunno | 12:13 |
| nopcode | some wiki | 12:13 |
| hyper_ch | and what os? | 12:13 |
| nopcode | uh, xubuntu | 12:13 |
| nopcode | with the 2.6.22 kernel | 12:14 |
| hyper_ch | so it's feisty | 12:14 |
| nopcode | no actually i installed the previous version | 12:14 |
| nopcode | but i installed the kernel package from feisty | 12:14 |
| nopcode | to try and fix a network card issue | 12:14 |
| hyper_ch | why not upgrade? | 12:14 |
| nopcode | how? | 12:14 |
| hyper_ch | !upgrade | 12:14 |
| ubotu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 12:14 |
| nopcode | so i should browse that with lynx now? | 12:15 |
| nopcode | hmm my sources.list has "feisty" all over the place | 12:15 |
| nopcode | and i did a dist-upgrade but it didnt download much | 12:15 |
| Pumpernickel | `cat /etc/issue` will show what release you're on. | 12:15 |

| nopcode | would that be feisty? | 12:16 |
| Pumpernickel | Yeah. | 12:16 |
| nopcode | oh, ok sorry then | 12:16 |
| hyper_ch | Do you have: Applicatiosn --> System --> Restricted Drivers Manager? | 12:16 |
| nopcode | hyper_ch: i dont have X at the moment | 12:16 |
| Pumpernickel | The kernel you have is the one slated to be in Gutsy. | 12:16 |
| nopcode | Pumpernickel: ah right gutsy was the new version - i confused them | 12:16 |
| Pumpernickel | (Whcih is horribly unstable at the moment.) | 12:16 |
| nopcode | hyper_ch: but i followed the instructions about disabling the "nv" module | 12:16 |
| nopcode | hyper_ch: if thats what you're referring to | 12:16 |
| nopcode | Pumpernickel: so should i remove the 2.6.22 kernel as well? | 12:17 |
| hyper_ch | nopcode: you should be able to install from a gui... you shouldn't need to follow any wiki | 12:17 |
| nopcode | i mean, it didnt solve my issues anyways | 12:17 |
| nopcode | hyper_ch: i thought installing the nvidia driver always needed manual work.. | 12:17 |
| hyper_ch | not in feisty anymore | 12:17 |
| nopcode | ok so... is the 2.6.22 kernel from gutsy the source of my problem? | 12:18 |
| nopcode | it probably didnt get the proper modules for that? | 12:18 |
| hyper_ch | nopcode: dunno... I don't play with out-of-release kernels | 12:18 |
| nopcode | ok so i'll uninstall that | 12:18 |
