[07:16] hey all [07:45] Is there a way to get xubuntu to redetect my display settings like it did during install? [07:46] I tried to use a second display, and that failed. So now I am stuck in low graphics mode. [07:46] No way back [07:46] bad bad bad [07:46] bad form [07:47] Oh, and every time I log out and back in, the fonts get smaller each time [08:23] Hello, what can i do to autoload snd-sb16 modules at every boot? Adding snd-sb16 in /etc/modules is ok? Tya [09:28] hi, where can I configure laptop power savings (suspend after XX minutes of inactivity and so on) on xubuntu?

[09:49] rzimek78: if you want a gui tool for that, pyneighbourhood does that [09:49] ok, :) [09:57] but there's a problem, because I can't even look into the folder that I share in pyNeighborhood - "Failed to mount" :( why is it? Samba is configured good [10:01] rzimek78: I'm not sure, but I think that pyneighbourhood is using smbfs to mount the shares with fuse [10:01] !smbfs [10:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about smbfs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:01] hmm...

[11:40] What monitor do you use? === jadelrab is now known as ghost === ghost is now known as aboyousif [11:43] I have a problem with my sound quality when playing movies with mplayer and when playing mp3's with cmus. The quality used to be good, but it seems that when fumbling around with codecs and different video/audio players I have messed things up. The sound card is Ensoniq ES1370 [AudioPCI] and I'm using ALSA. [11:44] It sounds almost like when the speakers can't handle the volume. [11:51] alzamon: You already know what it is. [11:52] I would try to reinstall those restricted codecs from add/remove applications [11:53] i use a normal lcd tft monitor [11:54] and with the F4 selection i only tried the vga mode and the 1024*768 32bit mode [11:55] maybe it's because of my graphics card? [12:00] McLOVIN: And what graphics card [12:00] nvidia geforce 7600 gs [12:00] McLOVIN: Did you try to set lower resolution with F4? [12:00] no just the high one and the standard vga mode [12:02] Maybe this would help as boot option? [12:02] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution?highlight=%20getty%20#12332751586536761693 [12:03] but it seem to me its the same as F4 [12:06] i will try out the other resolutions a bit later [12:06] thx for you help [12:07] ok pn [12:12] niko: Sorry but I didn't quite understand. You would reinstall the codecs packages that I was messing with earlyer? [12:16] Hello all [12:16] did someone managed to get the framebuffer console working under gutsy ? [12:18] minimal req. to run xubuntu? [12:22] qwerkus: are you referring to the vga= options bugs? [12:23] netdur: 64 MB RAM, 1.5 GB HDD, 300 MHz CPU is what I'd guess off the top of my head, but 128 / 3 / 700 would be lots more comfortable [12:24] 128 RAM 4 GB 333 MHz ? [12:25] tonyyarusso: good specs? [12:26] netdur: probably good enough at least. [12:26] tonyyarusso: thanks [12:58] tonyyarusso: yes [12:59] qwerkus: in that case, no, but I'm also waiting [12:59] :( [12:59] any other way to get a fbconsole ?

[17:07] glxgears works too but it gain only 800 FPS [17:07] Does anyone know what package I need to install to get the xenv program to test input from buttons to the x server? [17:08] I don't know, unfortunatly [17:08] GodOf, maybe u can help me? are u experienced user? [17:09] I just dunno what to do - NVIDIA driver seems to be working ok but it's very slowly [17:09] have you ran a top? [17:09] see what's using your CPU? [17:10] GodOf, u know, I'm absulotely shure that when render, my GPU using NVIDIA accelerated driver... but I just cannot understand why it is so slowly [17:11] what's the top? [17:11] oh, i see... [17:11] just a minute.. [17:11] GodOf, so what proccess should eb listed in top to let me know it's ok? [17:12] hey, my comp freezes as soon as the login screen loads. it's happened with other distros, but I don't know why [17:12] sve1, freezes hard? === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache [17:13] feodor24, should be the programs you are running [17:13] feodor24, someone on the forums reported mplayer running with two instances after an update and it was killing the CPU [17:13] feodor24, kill beagle and desktop search if you don't use them [17:14] Godof: yes. the screen glitches and I can't use my mouse or keyboard. [17:14] sve1, kill the xserver and check the logs, see what's causing it to crash. It might be something in your xorg.conf [17:15] GodOf, no, it's ok with cpu and memory... everything's OK and other programs run well... only 3D seems to work so shitty [17:15] Ok, I'll check that now [17:16] GodOf, actually I'm a total noob in IRC :) tell me plz how can u make somebody from the room to know that u're addressing ur message to him/her? [17:17] GodOf, i mean is there any way to address ur msg instead of typing ur reciever's nick firstly? [17:17] type my full name [17:17] or type part of it and hit tab [17:17] it should fill the rest of it out [17:17] feodor24, [17:17] see? [17:17] fed, no? [17:17] Did you update your drivers? [17:17] GodOfWalmart: cool :)_ it works :) thanks alot [17:18] np [17:18] glad to help [17:18] GodOfWalmart: 1.0-9631 NVIDIA driver was just out-of-the box [17:18] GodOfWalmart: actually I was very surprised by this fact [17:18] feodor24, give me the output from the command uname -r [17:19] feodor24, yeah, it's nativly supported now [17:19] GodOfWalmart: 2.6.20-15-generic [17:19] feodor24, you've not updated have you? [17:19] GodOfWalmart: by the way, does GPL driver suck in comparison with NVIDIA's prop. driver? [17:20] GodOfWalmart: no, coz 9631 is the last driver's version my GPU's able to support [17:20] GodOfWalmart: where is xorg.conf? [17:20] sve1, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [17:21] sve1, but make a reserver copy firstly!:) [17:21] reserv i mean [17:21] yes! [17:21] sve1, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [17:22] feodor24, what do you mean by that? it should be what your GPU supports, rather what the kernel supports [17:22] feodor24: ty., [17:23] GodOfWalmart: i have GeForce 4 440 MX card. It's old and so it's ablt to support only "Legacy" drivers. Last legacy driver is 1.0-9631 [17:23] I have to go, sorry [17:23] ok, bye and thank u for ur help [17:23] the legacy drivers are still supported in newer kernels I'm pretty sure [17:24] ok, i'll go to ubuntu channel instead of sleeping xubuntu one and ask those guys about it [17:38] Can someone help me with a simple problem? [17:38] I accidentally removed my top and bottom task bars [17:38] Any idea how I can get them back [17:42] Gabriella: press alt+f2 and type 'xfce4-panel' [17:47] Haha! [17:47] I thank you good sir [17:53] Hey, hello [17:53] Does anyone use 64-bit xubuntu 7.10 [17:53] and fglrx ATI graphics driver?

[18:52] *its editor [18:53] I think you should change a preference in eclipse [18:55] I completely whacked out eclipse's preference folder (.mozilla/eclipse) [18:55] ...no change [18:56] :( [19:00] * neozen finally finds eclipses default settings and kicks them...

[19:48] Ben_Cs: usually this means a bad burn or a bad download [19:49] Ben_Cs: sometimes it might be just the cd drive unable to read the cd [19:49] TheSheep i burned it twise/ bad download? sure? i'm downloading dapper for test [19:50] !md5 | Ben_Cs [19:50] Ben_Cs: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [19:50] TheSheep: verifying from menu there brings me to busybox aswell [19:51] Ben_Cs: verufy the iso you downloaded [19:51] verify [19:51] There is an option on the boot menu to check the disk use that [19:51] Ben_Cs: there is md5 checksum availbale where you got it [19:51] h3sp4wn: he just said it gives him busybox too :( [19:52] but i can't get to kernel at all [19:52] Ben_Cs: do it on the computer on which you downloaded and burned the cd [19:52] k [19:54] TheSheep: Interesting I never needed to use that (just knew of its existance) [19:57] the winxp sees the cd as blank cd. so i can't access what i need to run checksum on it [19:57] Ben_Cs: it shouldn't be seen as blank [19:58] but it is [19:58] Ben_Cs: besides, you are supposed o check the iso you donwlaoded, not the cd [19:58] i deleted the iso [19:58] nevermind wil try dapper [19:58] ah, then there is no use checking, just redownload :) [20:03] desided to redownload gutsy cause dapper has old version of eclipse === dooglus_ is now known as dooglus [20:33] i installed xubuntu last night on my old desktop. nice enough [20:33] however, it uses the system beep quite liberally. how do i turn it off?

I read Ubuntu has a lot of bugs and stuff, but how about Xubuntu 7.10? [23:10] I'd like to know it before I download it [23:10] :) [23:11] i suppose it would depend on what you are doing [23:11] what do you mean? [23:11] the system is useable on my computer. There is a issue I am having with libpam_mount. But I am not convinced it isn't something I have done to myself [23:12] i am using it just for email word processing movie watching etc and ive ran into no bugs yet [23:12] but if you need more advance things just judging for traffic there may be bugs that could cause you problems [23:13] upgrading seems to break some things [23:13] I'm going to download the install CD and reconfigure the whole system [23:13] so that shouldn't be a problem [23:14] But I won't use it for complicated programs [23:15] i'd do a full install from the disc rather than upgrade [23:16] yup, it's easier to just save imprtant files on an extern memory [23:17] Hi [23:18] So this is the Xubuntu IRC channel right? [23:18] :-) Alright, thanks for letting me know the state of the Gibbon, I'm doing it tomorrow [tomorrow's a long day and I'm really tired] [23:18] yes it is [23:18] Great, i have a problem with my deployement of Xubuntu on an old Acer laptop :P [23:19] good luck with that, but I can't help you with that [23:19] are you going to ask us about the problem or are you just sharing? [23:19] Im going to ask about the problem :P [23:19] The problem is: [23:19] yay I got COMPIZ working :D [23:20] Im trying to install Xubuntu on an Acer 517TE Laptop, but it is taking forever, it is sitting at the desktop for nearly 20 minutes without the 2 taskbars, and if i click on an icon nothing happenes [23:21] what are the specs on the machine [23:21] you might want to consider using the 'alternate' install cd [23:21] Emm, lemme think [23:22] Intel Pentium 2 366 Mhz, 192Mb Ram, build in videocard [23:22] Xubuntu should be able to run on it [23:22] how do i browse a network? [23:22] I burned the Live disk at 6x speed, but that shouldn be a problem [23:22] yes ive installed it on much less than that [23:22] i would try using the alternate install [23:23] i have more luck installing with it on older machines [23:23] I hate the alternate cdś :P [23:23] Have to download again :p [23:23] But if im correct, i remember something wich might be important [23:23] During the boot you will see these DOS like messages saying if the devices are working ( [OK] ) Understand? [23:24] yeah [23:24] Well, one of those messages told me that i had to update my Bios in order to get ACPI to work [23:24] Could that be the problem ? [23:24] could be [23:24] it probably is using APM and that is causing the problem [23:24] eh? I love the alternate cd. What do have against it? [23:24] Well, i searched the forum, and booted the live disk with the acpi=off function(or something like that) [23:24] at the boot screen you can tell it not to load ACPI [23:24] I did [23:25] Didn fixed it however [23:25] i also think there is a failsafe mode which loads as little hardware as possible [23:25] other than that i [23:25] would try the alternate install [23:25] its my prefered install method [23:26] Oh ok, im downloading the Alternate CD now :P [23:26] Ill give the laptop another reboot and see what commands work :D [23:26] The alternate CD download is ready in 75 Minutes [23:26] :D [23:27] Ok, im at the Xubuntu boot screen now [23:27] How do i fail safe boot? [23:27] I already did a memory check [23:27] umm i think it is in the F3 menu [23:27] could be thinking of the DSL boot commands [23:28] Ok, and what is this OEM Installation( For developers ) for? [23:28] it lets you build a text file that gives you a completely automated install [23:28] lol [23:28] Useless :P [23:28] so if you wanted to install ubuntu on 1000 computers you wouldn't have to type anything [23:28] not really [23:28] cool :p [23:29] i use that at work [23:29] I was installing it in a computer lab at a schooo... [23:29] by the way, F3 is for the Keymap option [23:29] one of the reasons i love the alternate install [23:29] :p i Have ubuntu on my secondary PC, had no problems with it, but that PC wasn THAT old :p [23:32] Ok...I can't seem to find any option to boot in fai lsafe mode [23:33] Found it think, same way i fixed the installation of my Ubuntu [23:33] i must have got it confused with DSL then [23:33] There is a option, listen [23:33] Workaround faulty FPU (old machines) no387 [23:33] I did it on my other PC ( P3 1 Ghz) and it worked [23:34] It only takes 2 minutes to boot :P [23:34] try it [23:34] I also found this: [23:34] anyone know when Fluxbuntu is supposed to be available for download? [23:34] What is Fluxbuntu?
