| Wilbur31337 | Hello, all! :) | 00:09 |
| Wilbur31337 | When installing, I have 3 kernel choices: linux-generic, linux-image-generic, and linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic. Are these different kernels, or just one kernel and two meta packages for some special install? | 00:11 |
| tonyyarusso | Wilbur31337: When you say "choices", at what point are you being given options? Kernel installation should be automatic... | 00:33 |
| Wilbur31337 | Nope, during "Installing base system" window pops up asking which kernel. | 00:38 |
| Wilbur31337 | Sorry, btw, was afk. | 00:38 |
| Wilbur31337 | Found the answer by RTFM. | 00:38 |
| Wilbur31337 | All the same kernel, the different packages just determine what all is installed with the kernel. | 00:39 |
| Wilbur31337 | The one with the version numbers is the kernel itself. The linux-image-generic package installs some modules for it, and the linux-generic option installs restricted modules also. | 00:41 |

| The-Kernel | is it even possible? | 05:14 |
| feliciano | why xubuntu doesnt have shipit?? | 05:23 |

| Rynux91 | hey | 06:42 |
| Rynux91 | I think I may be one of those guys who can make almost any "foolproof" system burst into flames... | 06:43 |
| Rynux91 | I need to overwrite my other version of Xubuntu on this computer... | 06:44 |
| Rynux91 | since I really messed up the upgrade | 06:44 |
| Name141 | Would the windows manager in Xubuntu work better for an old p2 450 ? | 06:49 |
| Name141 | Ubuntu ran worse than WindowsXP on crack | 06:49 |
| Name141 | (Gnome) | 06:49 |
| Name141 | With all the flippity floppity animations | 06:50 |
| Name141 | And God knows I can't stand KDE. | 06:50 |
| The-Kernel | Name141 how much ram do you have? I've ran KDE fine on a Pentium CPU with 386 ram | 06:53 |
| The-Kernel | but like crap on a P4 with 128 ram | 06:53 |
| Name141 | 320 | 06:53 |
| Name141 | PC100 | 06:53 |
| Name141 | Applications would take longer to run in Ubuntu also | 06:54 |
| Name141 | er, to open | 06:54 |
| Name141 | (Than in XP) | 06:54 |
| Name141 | Then when they opened, they ran fair, till you started getting IMs | 06:54 |
| Name141 | And changing windows | 06:54 |
| Name141 | minumizing windows | 06:54 |
| Name141 | switching | 06:54 |
| Name141 | etc | 06:55 |
| The-Kernel | yeah, download the alternative install cd of xubuntu and use that | 06:55 |
| The-Kernel | it'll install it fine | 06:55 |
| Name141 | Install wasn't the problem | 06:55 |
| Name141 | All the flippity floppity was | 06:55 |
| Name141 | I imagine | 06:55 |
| Name141 | Like the box going to smaler box, smaller box, smaller box, program finally closes | 06:55 |
| Name141 | or minumized | 06:56 |
| Name141 | I only have a VooDoo3 also. | 06:56 |
| Name141 | The-Kernel: why not just the original CD? | 06:57 |
| The-Kernel | VooDoo3? | 06:58 |
| Name141 | The Video Card | 06:59 |
| Name141 | 3DFX VooDoo3 | 06:59 |
| Name141 | 8MB | 06:59 |
| The-Kernel | that's like...8 mb...no acceleration... | 06:59 |
| The-Kernel | it has a hard time displaying CLI for crying out loud | 06:59 |
| Name141 | Blame gateway, I tried to switch to a nVidia card but it wouldn't fit. | 06:59 |
| Name141 | Back when nVidia first screwed us | 07:00 |
| Name141 | er took over | 07:00 |
| Name141 | And had the switch 3dfx to nVidia and get a discount | 07:00 |
| The-Kernel | what do you have? PCI? | 07:01 |
| Name141 | AVG | 07:01 |
| Rynux91 | AVG? | 07:01 |
| Name141 | er | 07:01 |
| The-Kernel | what? | 07:01 |
| The-Kernel | AGP? | 07:02 |
| Name141 | Yeah | 07:02 |
| Name141 | But that's beside the point, isn't it? I mean, the idea is to get off a lagged ass system. | 07:02 |
| Name141 | And all I heard was "you should use linux, it'd run better" | 07:02 |
| Name141 | And after Ubuntu, I have to disagree. | 07:02 |
| The-Kernel | try fluxbuntu... | 07:03 |
| The-Kernel | I have a hard time using Ubuntu on my systems | 07:03 |
| The-Kernel | and they're pretty cutting edge | 07:03 |
| Name141 | My friend uses Fluxbox on his system, and he has p4 | 07:04 |
| The-Kernel | so...I have a core 2 duo and I use CLI | 07:04 |
| TheSheep | Name141: well, you have to choose, either a good system or a system that will appeal to those users | 07:04 |
| Rynux91 | hmm | 07:05 |
| TheSheep | Name141: ubuntu has gone the "for the masses" way | 07:05 |
| Rynux91 | I never heard of fluxbuntu :S | 07:05 |
| Name141 | Eh? I liked Gnome/Ubuntu , but it just ran worse than an old mule. | 07:05 |
| Name141 | So I search for alernatives. | 07:06 |
| Name141 | Other than KDE | 07:06 |
| TheSheep | Name141: Haiku :) | 07:06 |
| Rynux91 | there's plenty other ones out there... | 07:06 |
| Name141 | TheSheep: I don't speak jap lol | 07:06 |
| Name141 | The Fluxbox only has a RC release, and "sync in progress" | 07:08 |
| TheSheep | Name141: http://haiku-os.org/ | 07:09 |
| Name141 | I liked BeOS | 07:09 |

| K3rl0u4rn | hi people, I got xubuntu 7.10 last week, installed it and noticed something weird yesterday | 10:01 |
| K3rl0u4rn | I would actually like someone to confirm or not | 10:01 |
| K3rl0u4rn | here is what happens, | 10:01 |
| K3rl0u4rn | when I log out form XFCE, I get back to GDM | 10:02 |
| K3rl0u4rn | then I press CTRL + ALT + Backspace so to restart X server | 10:02 |
| K3rl0u4rn | weird thing is X restarts with XFCE and my old closed session, not GDM | 10:02 |
| K3rl0u4rn | it looks like a severe security issue | 10:02 |
| TheSheep | K3rl0u4rn: maybe you enabled autologin in gdm? | 10:02 |
| K3rl0u4rn | I did not | 10:03 |
| TheSheep | K3rl0u4rn: check if it's enabled | 10:03 |
| K3rl0u4rn | unfortunatly, I found no one to test this at #ubuntu yesterday, I guess they were thinking about a joke or something | 10:03 |
| K3rl0u4rn | TheSheep: I will as soon as I am at home, however, I actually got to login once after boot | 10:04 |
| MatBoy | K3rl0u4rn, they are not serious there if you ask me, but what you say is something I have seen on Debian before I thought | 10:11 |
| MatBoy | TheSheep, do you know why powernowd is prefered by cpufeqd in *ubuntu ? | 10:11 |
| TheSheep | MatBoy: no | 10:14 |
| MatBoy | TheSheep, ok :) | 10:14 |
| MatBoy | everything well for the rest ? | 10:15 |
| K3rl0u4rn | TheSheep: I tested what I said in vmware, and GDM gets back correctly. I truly don't remind having activated an auto login at home, but I will check this for sure ! | 10:23 |
| MatBoy | wow, Gutsy is so much faster | 10:24 |
| vsouzajunior | hello! | 10:25 |
| K3rl0u4rn | MatBoy: how is it ? | 10:26 |
| MatBoy | K3rl0u4rn, Gutsy ? | 10:26 |
| vsouzajunior | I'm trying to update to Xubuntu 7.10, but the updating stopped. Could anyone give me a help? | 10:26 |
| K3rl0u4rn | MatBoy: I meant how can it be so faster ? | 10:27 |
| vsouzajunior | It is asking for the jobs to be restarted to update the PAM libraries. | 10:28 |
| MatBoy | K3rl0u4rn, I heard the GDM is different or something like it | 10:28 |
| TheSheep | vsouzajunior: just press ok | 10:29 |
| K3rl0u4rn | MatBoy: how is GDM involved with speed ? | 10:29 |
| vsouzajunior | thanks, TheSheep | 10:30 |
| vsouzajunior | Now it is going ahead. | 10:30 |
| MatBoy | K3rl0u4rn, check the logs from yesterday, someone told it there | 10:31 |
| K3rl0u4rn | MatBoy: where do I get the logs ? | 10:33 |
| MatBoy | K3rl0u4rn, no, the thememanger is faster | 10:34 |
| MatBoy | that's what it could be | 10:34 |
| MatBoy | okt 22 12:01:54 <Einsidler>off the top of my head i'd say that might be due to xubuntu gutsy's faster theme engine | 10:34 |
| MatBoy | in your IRC program ;) | 10:34 |
| MatBoy | weird is that in Gutsy KRDC does not full size over the toppanelbar anymore with fullscreen | 10:36 |
| vinze | MatBoy, I have the same issue with VirtualBox on Feisty | 10:36 |
| TheSheep | MatBoy: what's krdc? | 10:36 |
| MatBoy | vinze, ok, weird, I had it before, but it was solved in some way... the nice part of krdc is that I still can use the cube when I'm in the rdp session, I can't using the Terminal Server Client | 10:37 |
| MatBoy | TheSheep, RDP thingie | 10:37 |
| MatBoy | vinze, is Virtual Box nicer ? | 10:38 |
| vinze | When I need VirtualBox to be fullscreen I mostly set the top panel to autohide temporarily, but obviously that's just a dirty workaround | 10:38 |
| vinze | MatBoy, I don't know what krdc is, it's just that fullscreen didn't work with VirtualBox too ;-) | 10:39 |
| MatBoy | vinze, hehe, ok :) | 10:39 |
| MatBoy | let's sew someone because of it | 10:39 |
| TheSheep | alt+f11 ? | 10:39 |
| vinze | :P | 10:39 |
| MatBoy | TheSheep, no :) | 10:40 |
| MatBoy | brb /me is going to get some food at the shop | 10:41 |

| thingummywut | previously the bottom didn't fit to monitor area | 11:19 |
| vinze | thingummywut, cool! | 11:20 |
| thingummywut | but the way it works ain't a good one | 11:20 |
| vinze | Ow... | 11:20 |
| thingummywut | every time i start up, i must manually reconfigure xorg.conf, boot xorg, and switch monitor styles from the settings | 11:20 |
| thingummywut | then it works | 11:20 |
| thingummywut | how could i prevent xorg.conf reconfiguring itself during reboots? | 11:20 |
| thingummywut | i have no idea why it works when i switch 1280x1024@75Hz to 1280x1024@60Hz or vice versa | 11:21 |
| thingummywut | but it does | 11:21 |

| excalibas | in alsamixer everything is ok... | 11:31 |
| curi0 | Alright, I have a USB Hard Drive which I can boot from, however, there are already partitions and data on the drive. Should I use partition magic to resize and create 4 partitions: partition 1 for FAT16 syslinux, ubuntu gutsy.iso, vm file, and init file; partition 2 unallocated for ext3; partition 3 unallocated for swap? Can't forget to mention that I'm dual booting XP and Vista with EASY BCD. | 11:32 |
| excalibas | no help? | 11:34 |
| vinze | excalibas, I have no idea how to :( | 11:34 |

| thingummywut | xorg.conf still keeps reconfigurating itself | 12:03 |
| thingummywut | i must get it to keep the settings i wrote ;< | 12:03 |
| vinze | thingummywut, have you tried finding a solution on the internet? It could very well be that someone has already encountered and solved this problem | 12:05 |
| thingummywut | i've tried, but i just might continue that then | 12:05 |
| MatBoy | vinze, did you found a way to solve the problem with the full screen yet ? | 12:07 |
| vinze | MatBoy, no | 12:07 |
| vinze | MatBoy, but I haven't really looked at a solution because I don't use VirtualBox that often | 12:07 |
| MatBoy | vinze, ok | 12:11 |
| MatBoy | vinze, should it be a xfce problem ? | 12:12 |
| vinze | MatBoy, I guess so (xfce4-panel) | 12:12 |
| vinze | But it's still odd that it's only the top panel | 12:12 |
| MatBoy | vinze, let me ask there | 12:12 |
| vinze | K | 12:12 |
| MatBoy | yeah indeed | 12:12 |
| MatBoy | vinze, btw, get a better provider ;) :P | 12:12 |
| vinze | ? | 12:12 |

| * vinze didn't choose that | 12:13 | |

| vinze | Not even that :P | 12:14 |

| MatBoy | what are you doing there ? | 12:14 |
| MatBoy | if i may ask | 12:14 |

| MatBoy | vinze, backups ? I only know Push Ups | 12:27 |
| thingummywut | i hope it now only uses xorg.conf and it stays as it is | 12:27 |
| vinze | twas just a wild guess :) | 12:27 |
| thingummywut | gtg anyway -> | 12:27 |
| MatBoy | thingummywut, just reinstall xorg | 12:27 |
| vinze | Bye thingummywut | 12:27 |
| thingummywut | MatBoy, the problem was only greater when it was freshly installed | 12:27 |
| thingummywut | bye | 12:27 |
| MatBoy | huh ? | 12:28 |
| thingummywut | my screen was messed up. part of the bottom was outside my monitor | 12:30 |
| thingummywut | now i got it working, but don't know why it worked what i did | 12:30 |
| thingummywut | i configured it so that it had 2 1280x1024 modes, with 75 Hz and 60 Hz | 12:31 |
| thingummywut | then if i boot it as 75 Hz and switch to 60 Hz it works fine | 12:31 |
| thingummywut | now i really got to go -> | 12:31 |
| vinze | Bye :) | 12:31 |

| hollunder | hi, I have a small Thunar question: I've set up my mices side buttons to alt + arrowkey so I can use it for going back and forth. It works in firefox, but not in Thunar wheres alt + arrowkey on the keyboard works as intended. | 13:44 |
| hollunder | I had this problem in gnome as well, it may be an imwheel problem | 13:48 |
| nanonyme | anyone else having networkmanager take 100% cpu? | 13:51 |
| Knightlust | hmm, not me | 13:52 |
| vinze | Me neither | 13:52 |
| nanonyme | i'm having a ppc cpu though so it might be something's just borked with the binary | 13:55 |
| nanonyme | sigh, i wish i knew some ppc xubuntu user. would be easier to compare the stuff | 13:55 |
| K3rl0u4rn | i got a couple of applications complaining about not finding /usr/bin/esd, do someone know if I should just ignore it or install a specific package ? | 14:40 |
| vinze | K3rl0u4rn, if you miss something, you could try installing pulseaudio-esound-compat or pulseaudio-esound-compat | 14:41 |
| vinze | Ehm, esound is the second one :P | 14:41 |
| vinze | (Stupid clipboard ;-) | 14:41 |
| K3rl0u4rn | is it something similar to arts ? | 14:43 |
| vinze | Don't know | 14:43 |
| vinze | I just know that when I enter "esd" in a terminal these packages are suggested | 14:43 |
| K3rl0u4rn | ok, i gonna try, thanks | 14:44 |

| DavidTangye | Hi all. Has anyone 'converted' a Ubuntu installation to Xubuntu? | 14:50 |
| vinze | DavidTangye, you can have both installed :) | 14:50 |
| DavidTangye | Hi Vinze. Yes I have 'both' at present... Its Ubuntu, with the Xubuntu desktop. I want to make it an Xubuntu installation, so I can upgrade it from Xubuntu Feisty to Gutsy. | 14:51 |
| vinze | Why can't you upgrade it with both installed? | 14:52 |
| DavidTangye | ... Does that make sense? | 14:52 |
| DavidTangye | I can. | 14:52 |
| vinze | But...? | 14:52 |
| DavidTangye | ..But I want to effectively turn it into an Xubuntu install. I am afraid that the Ubuntu upgrade might reapply Ubuntu desktop stuff. | 14:53 |
| vinze | OK, wait a sec | 14:54 |
| DavidTangye | .. ie stuff up my Xubuntu setup | 14:54 |
| DavidTangye | I dont really need Gnome stuff, except maybe 1 or 2 gtk-based apps -might- prove handy. | 14:54 |
| vinze | DavidTangye, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce.php | 14:54 |
| DavidTangye | thanks. I shall check that out | 14:55 |
| DavidTangye | This is a 900mHz laptop, and its certainly running better with Xubuntu, about as quick as Puppy linux. | 14:56 |
| vinze | Nice :) | 14:56 |
| DavidTangye | brb. Shall check your link out. | 14:56 |

| KlrSpz | or bug fixes | 20:27 |
| KlrSpz | new packages or renaming of packages and dependancies are usually pushed to the next release afaik | 20:28 |
| slow-motion | hallo | 20:35 |
| fifafrazer | But how does the developers distinct between new features and bugfixes... | 20:35 |

| martin_ | Im trying to run Xubuntu on an old laptop with VIA S3G Unichrome graphics but. I have installed Xubuntu but i cant boot untill i have installed the proper graphics drivers. I can only boot up in text mode but how do i install the openchrome drivers???? Cant find any information anywhere! Any ideas? | 21:29 |
| The-Kernel | !openchrome | 21:29 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about openchrome - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 21:29 |
| martin_ | There is a package called xserver-xorg-video-openchrome and its in the repositoris when i search from my ubuntu machine but not when I try to install it in xubuntu on my laptop.. | 21:31 |
| The-Kernel | !info openchrome | 21:34 |
| ubotu | Package openchrome does not exist in gutsy | 21:34 |
| The-Kernel | !info xserver-xorg-video-openchrome | 21:35 |

| The-Kernel | martin_ did you run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" | 21:35 |
| The-Kernel | ok so martin_ you have to enable the universe line in the source.list file | 21:37 |
| The-Kernel | you can do this by doing the following: sudo nano /etc/apt/source.list --> uncomment the lines that have multiverse and universe in them ----> save -----> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 21:38 |
| martin_ | The-Kernel: I have enabled both multiverse and universe, ive ran apt-get update but not the "upgrade" | 21:40 |
| brick_ | hi. is there a good program for transfering files to cellphones in linux? when i connect my Sony Ericsson p1i using usb cable and "file transfermode" the mem card in the phone gets mounted, but filetransfer to the phone hangs.. to transfer 40-50mb can take as long as 30 mins, and even then only half is probobly transferd,, if i try to unmount the device i get the msg thtat there are files waiting for transfer to that device and that i should not | 21:41 |
| brick_ | disconnect, even though the "copy" window is closed . | 21:41 |
| The-Kernel | run the upgrade, also which release do you have? | 21:41 |
| martin_ | i installed the latest version xubuntu 7.10 | 21:41 |
| eccheneso | hi!! | 21:41 |
| eccheneso | italian here??? | 21:42 |
| The-Kernel | martin_ well run upgrade and then sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-openchrome | 21:42 |
| martin_ | ok, ill do. So the upgrade command does what? does it upgrade to the latest release or what? | 21:43 |
| The-Kernel | it makes sure everything already installed is up to date, and it also fixes problems sometimes | 21:44 |
| The-Kernel | ok bbl | 21:44 |
| eccheneso | i have a dlink g630 wireless pcmcia card...how can i configure a wifi network (wpa key)? | 21:44 |
| eccheneso | (sorry for my english | 21:44 |
| martin_ | The-Kernel: ok its upgrading now, the thing is that when i searched for the package "xserver-xorg-video-openchrome" with the apt-cahce search command it told me that the package wasen even in the repos? | 21:46 |
| martin_ | The-Kernel: It still says that the package does not exist even after the updrade and another update and reboot.. One thig that i noticed though was that when i update the repos the system refers to them as the dapper repos and on my other machines as the gutsy repos, perhaps thats the difference? | 22:01 |
| martin_ | is there anywhere i can paste a picture on the web temporariarly? | 22:04 |
| martin_ | This is what my screen looks like when i try to boot up: http://www.margus.se/pic/screen.jpg | 22:09 |
| martin_ | The-Kernel: I had the same graphics problem during installation but during installation i could fix it with the vga=771 argument, why dosent it work when booting the system fro real? cant i just use the same vga=771 thing when booting from the harddrive? | 22:13 |
| martin_ | Hmm, i managed to get the spash screen working by entering the vga=771 argument into the grub menu.lst but xserver still wont start wothout the openchrome drivers which i cant find.. | 22:35 |

| alchemist_ | Hi - I'm doing an in-place dist upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 - my screensaver kicked in during the process - and now I cannot log back into that X session - logging into a different X session it seems the xfce screensaver plugin was zapped by the update - am I safe to just re-start - is there anyway of checking how far into update the process it got? | 22:40 |
| The-Kernel | martin_ can you pastebin your source.list? | 22:50 |
| SatanGolga | How do i remove bcm43xx-fwcutter when it's "1 not fully installed or removed" ? it keeps popping up in the end each time I run apt-get install something | 22:52 |

| gerro | what does this mean "# United States (DVD) (Not synced yet)" was trying to show my friend how to download gutsy | 23:32 |
| TheSheep | gerro: I believe that United States is a country somewhere in Northern America, DVD is a Digital Video Disk, and "synced" is a shortcut for 'synchronized' | 23:33 |
| nikolam | gerro: I think it is safe to download | 23:33 |
| gerro | does it mean its not up to date or something? why does it say dvd though isn't that same image? | 23:34 |
| nikolam | (beacouse someone on the mirror put images under /DVD/ dir somewhere?) :) | 23:35 |

| nikolam | I manage to loop mount it in /media/vcd | 23:38 |
| nikolam | How to make it vivible in synaptic/update? | 23:38 |
| gerro | use it for what purposes? | 23:38 |
| nikolam | To add it with file:// in sources.list? | 23:38 |
| gerro | ohh okay | 23:39 |
| nikolam | To be able to install packages with no need to download | 23:39 |
| gerro | look up program called gmount if you want a gui for it | 23:39 |
| nikolam | That would be great :) | 23:39 |
| nikolam | Thanks | 23:39 |
| gerro | don't know about exact commands though if you want it permanently added | 23:39 |
| nikolam | I know sudo mkdir /media/vcd | 23:40 |
| nikolam | and puting it in /etc/fstab :) | 23:40 |
| gerro | can your drive read dvds? | 23:40 |
| nikolam | i gill do gmount | 23:40 |
| nikolam | yup | 23:40 |
| gerro | it should auto mount it then you just cd /media/drive and dpkg -i *.deb or something | 23:40 |
| graelb | Why would i be getting wrong fs type errors when trying to mount a windows share with -t cifs? | 23:40 |
| nikolam | maybe I write it one day :) | 23:40 |
| gerro | graelb: are you using samba or nfs? | 23:41 |
| gerro | graelb: isn't cifs for macs? | 23:41 |
| nikolam | i think windows share is samba-related.. | 23:41 |
| graelb | well | 23:41 |
| graelb | ok, even if i use -t smbfs, it still gives me the same error | 23:41 |
| graelb | i think i remember someone telling me smbfs is deprecated in 7.10, so to use cifs | 23:41 |
| gerro | perhaps you forgot to umount it | 23:42 |
| gerro | what you mean by deprecated? | 23:42 |
| graelb | not supported anymore | 23:42 |
| graelb | at least... that's one definition of it | 23:42 |
| graelb | lol | 23:42 |
| nikolam | !samba | 23:42 |
| ubotu | samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT | 23:42 |
| gerro | yeah cifs is like legacy stuff or for other OS file sharing | 23:43 |
| gerro | or its one of those integrated options, I remember reading about it | 23:43 |
| graelb | so it should be mount -t smbfs -o username=whalksad,password=asodijads //hostname/share /whereveriwanttomountit | 23:43 |
| graelb | right? | 23:43 |
| graelb | with a sudo in front of it all | 23:44 |
| gerro | omg I'm in your share dude | 23:44 |
| graelb | heh | 23:44 |
| gerro | can I dl some dat pr0n and oldies music? | 23:45 |
| graelb | nosir! | 23:45 |
| gerro | :P | 23:45 |
| graelb | there's a file i had to edit to make it work before, i had to add cifs to something irrc | 23:45 |
| gerro | what does irrc mean people always saying that | 23:45 |
| graelb | if i recall correctly | 23:45 |
| gerro | I thought it was like... web 2.0 irc or something | 23:46 |
