| Rafabe | hi | 01:17 |
| Rafabe | is there anyone here who is very knowledgeable in linux troubleshooting, particularly issues with X and drivers? | 01:18 |
| soldats | hello | 01:18 |
| soldats | ha i saw your post on ubuntu and i was trying to think of how to solve it | 01:18 |
| soldats | im not so sure though | 01:18 |
| Rafabe | i think i'm going to have to format and reinstall. is there a "system restore" feature I could use in the future? | 01:19 |
| soldats | i dont think so | 01:20 |
| soldats | thats more of a windoze thing | 01:20 |
| soldats | a reinstall should take bout 30 minutes | 01:20 |
| seisen | what kind of problem is it? | 01:21 |
| Rafabe | seisen: (pasted) X will no longer boot after I changed drivers from the proprietary ATI to the open one. Reconfiguring xorg.conf (either directly or by running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg) did not work | 01:21 |
| seisen | that is weird | 01:22 |
| seisen | do you have a backup xorg.conf file | 01:23 |
| Rafabe | I had a low resolution, so I enabled the restricted ATI driver. It allowed me to use high resolutions. Then due to a bug in KDE and the proprietary driver (basically, the whole OS crashes if I try to switch users/start new X session), I switched back to Open driver...and X won't boot | 01:23 |
| seisen | i see | 01:23 |
| Rafabe | I did, and I tried replacing it with one from 2 days ago...no luck | 01:23 |
| evil_tech | KDE? | 01:23 |
| Rafabe | is the setting for which driver to use reall in xorg.conf? | 01:23 |
| Rafabe | evil: I installed Xubuntu, then downloaded the KDE Desktop package yesterday | 01:24 |
| evil_tech | ah | 01:24 |
| Rafabe | what would happen if I reinstalled over this, without formatting? | 01:25 |
| Rafabe | would I keep all my personal files/downloaded packages? | 01:26 |
| Catoptromancy | depends | 01:26 |
| Catoptromancy | I would make backups on unreplaceable stuff | 01:27 |
| evil_tech | and use a different login name | 01:27 |
| Catoptromancy | but if you dont format. it will probably save them | 01:27 |
| Catoptromancy | resintalling OS just installs stuff to root | 01:27 |
| Catoptromancy | so your /home should be untouched | 01:27 |
| Catoptromancy | backups are a good idea anyway | 01:28 |
| seisen | when you reinstall create a seperate /home partition | 01:29 |
| Rafabe | thanks for the help | 01:30 |
| evil_tech | wish you could put /home on a seperate drive | 01:40 |
| Rafabe | it's OK, I'll use a different username | 01:41 |
| Rafabe | i have one last idea...how can I install fglrx from the console? What apt command do I need to send? | 01:42 |
| Rafabe | maybe by installing it, it'll implement its own settings | 01:42 |
| seisen | do you mean downloading with apt-get | 01:43 |
| Rafabe | yes | 01:44 |
| evil_tech | sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-fglrx? | 01:44 |
| Rafabe | thank you | 01:44 |
| evil_tech | i dont know if that is right | 01:44 |
| evil_tech | just a best gues | 01:45 |
| seisen | that is correct evil_tech | 01:45 |
| evil_tech | it works | 01:45 |
| Rafabe | says "couldn't find package xserver-xorg-fglrx" | 01:46 |
| seisen | you need to enable the restricted repositories | 01:47 |
| seisen | then it it will work | 01:47 |
| Rafabe | how can I do this from the console? I already had that checked in the Ubuntu control panel, when I still had X. | 01:48 |
| seisen | duh I see what is wrong the correct name is xorg-driver-fglrx sorry for that mistake I'm tired | 01:50 |
| Rafabe | thanks, works now | 01:50 |
| Rafabe | i thought it was weird that I couldn't google "couldn't find package xserver-xorg-fglrx" | 01:50 |
| seisen | np | 01:51 |
| Rafabe | didn't work. Oh well, time to format. Thanks for taking the time to help me, guys. Have a good evening. | 01:53 |
| Rafabe | err, not format, I meant reinstall over the current install :P | 01:53 |
| evil_tech | why not just restore the backup xorg.conf | 01:54 |
| evil_tech | ? | 01:54 |
| evil_tech | oh he left | 01:58 |
| evil_tech | need my eyes checked | 01:58 |
| jjmiv | EW, cpu too old for this kernel | 03:06 |
| jjmiv | can you install a different kernel with the alternate install CD? | 03:11 |
| somerville32 | Why is your cpu too old for the kernel? | 03:11 |
| somerville32 | And are you running Xubuntu right now? | 03:11 |
| somerville32 | You can install another kernel while running and then reboot into it | 03:12 |
| jjmiv | i installed ubuntu-server Handy 8.04 | 03:13 |
| somerville32 | You might try #ubuntu-server for support than? | 03:14 |
| somerville32 | And Hardy is unsupported as it is unreleased | 03:14 |
| somerville32 | see #ubuntu+1 | 03:14 |
| jjmiv | my plan was to do some testing, install xorg after i finished install..then install xfce | 03:15 |
| jjmiv | well...i'll check it out then... | 03:17 |
| neur1 | if I have a dual boot, and I reformat the partitions to add xubuntu will it find the other os's? | 03:18 |
| somerville32 | neur1, depends on how you do it | 03:19 |
| neur1 | example . . . | 03:20 |
| somerville32 | neur1, I'm afraid I need you to explain exactly what you're doing for me to answer. | 03:20 |
| neur1 | k | 03:20 |
| somerville32 | Reformatting a partition doesn't do anything but reformat a partition. I assume you're going to do something after that | 03:20 |
| somerville32 | What you do after that might auto-configure grub | 03:20 |
| neur1 | I have a dual boot intact but need to have a partition (new) for xubuntu | 03:21 |
| jjmiv | that makes no sense...sine i have a p4 3.2 | 03:21 |
| somerville32 | neur1, Well, when you install Xubuntu, you'll want to repartition. The install should auto-detect the other OSes | 03:22 |
| somerville32 | jjmiv, hmm? | 03:22 |
| neur1 | o.k.it will see the others and grub will do the work? | 03:23 |
| somerville32 | neur1, it should, yes | 03:23 |
| somerville32 | !grub | neur1 | 03:23 |
| ubotu | neur1: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 03:23 |
| jjmiv | somerville32: not sure why it said "cpu too old for this kernel" when i have a P4 3.2 | 03:24 |
| jjmiv | eh...wait a sec | 03:24 |
| neur1 | thanks is this process succesful most of the time lol . . . or should I just keep two os's at a time | 03:26 |
| somerville32 | neur1, why would it not work? Just another item on the grub boot menu :) | 03:27 |
| neur1 | cool | 03:27 |
| neur1 | and I can add a home partition too | 03:28 |
| jjmiv | gg, later guys | 03:28 |
| neur1 | is there a opacity setting for the top and bottom panels? | 03:32 |
| neur1 | opps never mind sorry | 03:32 |
| neur1 | thanks guys see you later | 03:49 |
| mynyml | i'm trying to burn an iso image with xfburn and as soon as i click burn it gives me a 100% complete result window.. | 05:40 |
| mynyml | anyone's got any idea of why it thinks the job is done? | 05:41 |
| mynyml | so apperantly xfburn doesnt do ISO.... o.0 ... | 05:44 |
| neur1 | is there an xubuntu forum? | 06:09 |
| soldats | no | 06:12 |
| soldats | dont believe so usually everything in the ubuntu forum should work fine | 06:13 |
| neur1 | o.k. | 06:14 |

| TheSheep | bart1105: is it eveyry time? | 11:35 |
| TheSheep | bart1105: because it will check the disks once in a while, and then it can take long | 11:35 |
| bart1105 | thesheep: yes... i used the xubuntu desktop disc, i'm updating it now... hopefully it will be resolved | 11:37 |
| TheSheep | bart1105: livecd is much slower too | 11:37 |

| liddan | I just installed xubuntu and I am unable to watch flash content in firefox. Even though flashplugin-nonfree is installed. Firefox does not seem to detect the plugin. Tried reinstalling firefox and the plugin without success. Firefox detects the open source plugin if I install it. But that plugin seems unable to handle any of the flash content properly. How can I get firefox to detect the plugin? | 17:20 |
| seisen | how did you install flash? | 17:24 |
| liddan | "apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" also tried through synaptic and using firefox own install program | 17:28 |
| seisen | make sure that its installing because I had problems about a week ago with not installing at the end | 17:29 |
| liddan | Hmm, is there a way to check if it is properly installed? | 17:32 |
| stone[no] | http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ | 17:32 |
| seisen | what I had to do was manually install the package from the adobe website | 17:33 |
| liddan | Hmm, seems the installer does not support 64-bit. | 17:39 |
| seisen | thats why its not working | 17:39 |

| liddan | I will try that, thanks alot! | 17:42 |
| seisen | np | 17:43 |
| liddan | I should have payed more attention: "md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz" "The Flash plugin is NOT installed." For some reason it is marked as installed. | 17:45 |
| stone[no] | the .deb expects ver 9.0.48, adobe has changed it to 9.0.115 | 17:46 |

| krzysz00 | Is there a Xubuntu screen magnifier? | 17:54 |
| krzysz00 | Is Xubuntu 8.04 stable? | 17:54 |
| eldonz | I've tried to install xubuntu on a 586 mini-PC but get "No installable kernel was found". Any suggestions? | 18:34 |
| elbing | wtf "mini-PC"? | 18:37 |
| elbing | if it's i586 generic kernel should work | 18:37 |
| eldonz | An SiS 586 compatible processor with 128 MB RAM and 2 GB CF card | 18:37 |
| TheSheep | what's sis 586? | 18:37 |
| eldonz | The alternate CD seems to work fine | 18:37 |
| eldonz | Sis made the processor | 18:38 |
| psych | parted just crashed when creating/formating new partitions | 18:38 |
| elbing | huh I don't know if kernel still support cyrix and sis, but alternate cd should help you | 18:38 |
| psych | and installer disappeared | 18:38 |
| psych | i got 3 non-working partitions | 18:39 |
| evil_tech | i would imagine that it should work fine as long as they are x86 procesors | 18:39 |
| elbing | psych: what kind of hdd has your machine? sata ide? | 18:39 |
| psych | ide | 18:39 |
| eldonz | Is there a way to tell the installer to use a generic processor kernel? | 18:39 |
| psych | 160gb ide | 18:39 |
| psych | laptop | 18:39 |
| elbing | has it "ide emulation" in BIOS? | 18:40 |
| elbing | some HP series has troubles with it | 18:40 |
| psych | nope | 18:40 |
| psych | its an old toshiba celeron 1ghz | 18:40 |
| elbing | is there any other os in hdd? | 18:41 |
| psych | it was an empty hdd | 18:41 |
| psych | right from store | 18:41 |
| psych | elbing, would help if i create all those partitions before run the installer? | 18:43 |
| elbing | I thought that, but I thought you don't want make it too :p | 18:46 |
| elbing | yes I would try that way | 18:46 |
| elbing | or leaving to installer parting itself with no hand | 18:46 |
| psych | i just installed windows | 18:47 |
| psych | when X starts | 18:47 |
| psych | i get a black screen | 18:47 |
| elbing | video? | 18:47 |
| psych | so i need to use my old xorg.conf (gentoo box) | 18:47 |
| elbing | intel, ati? | 18:47 |
| psych | i830M | 18:47 |
| psych | and after that, 'episode' | 18:48 |
| elbing | try i810 with 1024x768 | 18:48 |
| psych | i cant run x | 18:48 |
| elbing | as driver, of course | 18:48 |
| psych | how i can change | 18:48 |
| elbing | I've got an i845G running in that mode | 18:48 |
| psych | i thought about use vga=normal | 18:48 |
| psych | at boot | 18:49 |
| elbing | well ctrl-alt-F1 and vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 18:49 |
| psych | ic | 18:49 |
| elbing | at boot? | 18:49 |
| psych | but sometimes | 18:49 |
| psych | x crashes everything | 18:49 |
| psych | console and etc | 18:49 |
| elbing | humm don't care about boot, when you change intel driver to i810 boot will be normal | 18:50 |
| psych | so i cant ctrl+alt | 18:50 |
| psych | framebuffer worked fine | 18:50 |
| elbing | humm... vesa | 18:50 |
| elbing | boot in single user mode | 18:50 |
| elbing | you can edit xorg and try vesa | 18:50 |
| psych | i would like to have a non-x installer | 18:50 |
| elbing | or i810 directly | 18:50 |
| psych | but i havent a cdrw | 18:50 |
| psych | i810 was what i used | 18:51 |
| elbing | yah, xD I hope opensolaris support my sound card soon too xD | 18:51 |
| psych | but with aiglx | 18:51 |
| elbing | I've got compiz qith that chip | 18:51 |
| elbing | *with | 18:51 |
| psych | i ran beryl for couple weeks | 18:51 |
| elbing | beryl is out of support | 18:51 |
| psych | i ran it when it was :) | 18:51 |
| elbing | beryl worked for me well with i845G | 18:52 |
| psych | compiz than beryl than compiz | 18:52 |
| psych | thats weird | 18:52 |
| psych | xorg can share 64mb of my ram | 18:52 |
| psych | bios, only 8mb | 18:53 |
| elbing | in any case, compiz script must be edited with a card with less than 64MB | 18:55 |
| elbing | so, with that ram you are very patient | 18:55 |
| psych | ive 512ram | 18:55 |
| psych | but the video card is poor :) | 18:55 |
| elbing | very patient... in these days half GB is not great yet | 18:56 |
| elbing | but to play doom with an opengl port very nice :p | 18:56 |
| psych | hehe | 18:56 |
| psych | i was playing medal of honor | 18:56 |
| psych | windoze :) | 18:56 |
| psych | allied assault | 18:56 |
| elbing | oh my favourite game | 18:56 |
| elbing | there is a port in iccubus.org | 18:57 |
| psych | nice | 18:57 |
| elbing | you just need the CD's | 18:57 |
| elbing | about other games from ID Software you just need *.pk3 files (quake4 is nice in linux too) | 18:57 |
| neur1 | anyone know where to find the conky file? | 19:24 |
| evil_tech | conky? | 19:32 |
| neur1 | the file so I can customise it | 19:36 |
| neur1 | .conkyrc | 19:36 |
| evil_tech | well you can type locate conky in a terminal and that will look for it | 19:40 |
| evil_tech | or you could do ls / | grep conky | 19:40 |
| neur1 | in the terminal? | 19:43 |
| evil_tech | yeah | 19:43 |
| neur1 | o.k. | 19:43 |
| neur1 | this exact command? = / | grep conky | 19:46 |
| neur1 | i get : / : is a directory | 19:47 |
| evil_tech | just a sec | 19:47 |
| neur1 | k | 19:48 |
| evil_tech | no the command is: ls / | grep conky | 19:48 |
| neur1 | k | 19:50 |
| neur1 | what charecter is that before s? | 19:53 |
| evil_tech | an l | 19:54 |
| evil_tech | L | 19:54 |
| neur1 | k | 19:54 |
| evil_tech | basic command line commands man basic command line commands (say that 5 times fast :P ) | 19:55 |
| evil_tech | ls, grep, locate, find, mkdir, rm, cp, mv, touch | 19:56 |
| evil_tech | you should google those. all very handy commands for basic file management from a terminal | 19:58 |
| neur1 | k | 19:59 |
| neur1 | thanks | 20:01 |
| evil_tech | np | 20:02 |
| aladdinsane | I know im not the only one with this problem, but how do i get my Ati Radeon 7200 to work at least half decently, right now im using the "radeon" driver in ubuntu and i have no problems at all with doing normal stuff, but as soon as a little 3d comes into play it goes slooooooow...help? | 20:42 |
| stone[no] | the free radeon driver does not supprt 3d, as far as I know | 20:43 |
| stone[no] | install the non-free | 20:43 |
| aladdinsane | yes but as far as i know there isn't one | 20:45 |
| aladdinsane | i havent found one for Radeon 7200 anyway | 20:45 |
| evil_tech | nor is there one for the mobility radeon 7500 in my thinkpad | 20:46 |
| aladdinsane | there is one for Radeon 9XXX and above though | 20:46 |
| stone[no] | how about those released by ATI? | 20:46 |
| aladdinsane | evil_tech: have you looked around? | 20:46 |
| evil_tech | not yet | 20:47 |
| aladdinsane | stone[no]: there are no released by ati for linux, as far as i can see | 20:47 |
| stone[no] | http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html | 20:48 |
| aladdinsane | stone[no]: yep, been there done that | 20:49 |
| aladdinsane | still no support for my 7200 | 20:49 |
| stone[no] | I don't any other option, sorry mate. | 20:50 |
| stone[no] | know any other* | 20:51 |
| aladdinsane | i dont think there is an official solution, but maybe someone out there has managed to get it to work in some magical way | 20:52 |
| stone[no] | don't buy ati in the future, their linux driver suppor stink... ;) | 20:53 |
| stone[no] | support | 20:53 |
| Sulle | annyone here ? :P | 20:56 |
| stone[no] | hello | 20:56 |
| Sulle | what program can i use to see ram usage etc that is on my desktop? | 20:56 |
| evil_tech | free -m | 20:57 |
| evil_tech | from the terminal | 20:57 |
| stone[no] | aladdinsane: How 'bout xserver-xorg-radeonhd or xserver-xorg-radonhd-c? | 20:58 |
| stone[no] | Not sure if those will help | 20:58 |
| aladdinsane | stone[no]: i got a tip now to activate Direct Rendering, you know anything about that? | 21:00 |
| stone[no] | not much, all I know is that my old radoen card was a big hassle to get working on my gentoo box... | 21:02 |
| stone[no] | I think it has something to do woth memory access | 21:03 |
| aladdinsane | ok, yes after scanning the net for a solution i have realized that there might be no solutions..well, just have to keep away from 3d i guess.. | 21:04 |
| stone[no] | Sometimes begin a linux user is a drag, 'cus your dependant on vendors to release drivers or som smart guy to make them... | 21:07 |
| somerville32 | stone[no], Isn't it the same deal with Windows? :P | 21:41 |
| evil_tech | :) | 21:42 |
| evil_tech | that is true | 21:42 |
| stone[no] | somerville32: Hmm, in 'indows there are allways drivers available, though they sometimes mess up the system ;) | 21:43 |
| somerville32 | That is a fallacy | 21:44 |
| stone[no] | somerville32: explain please :) | 21:45 |
| somerville32 | Especially when it comes to Vista | 21:45 |
| somerville32 | There are a lot of devices that don't have drivers yet | 21:46 |
| somerville32 | If you mean there are "generic drivers", linux has those too (ie. Vesa) | 21:46 |
| stone[no] | somerville32: I've no experience with vista, thankfully. With every hardware I've bought there has allways been an included windows driver. I see your point on vista, I've heard similar complaints. | 21:52 |
| seisen | With Vista half the programs that work in XP don't even work in Vista | 21:54 |
| thegeeker | I just tried Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu under Gutsy today. | 21:58 |
| thegeeker | Bravo to the xubuntu guys! | 21:58 |
| ahillsbe | i am having problems with sdb | 22:00 |
| thegeeker | Xubuntu with Clearlooks theme is better-looking than anything I could come up with in Gnome and KDE | 22:01 |
| ahillsbe | can someone help with sdb read/mount problems | 22:07 |
| march | hi | 22:08 |
| ahillsbe | i cannot mount or view files in my sdb hdd | 22:11 |
| seisen | what format is sdb | 22:16 |
| ahillsbe | ntfs | 22:18 |
| seisen | do you have ntfs-3g installed | 22:23 |
| bart1105 | good morning | 22:42 |

| bart1105 | i'm a noob to linux, how do i set it up so that i can share my folders and view shared folders on windows machines on the home network? | 23:29 |
| drc822 | samba | 23:30 |
| somerville32 | !samba | bart1105 | 23:30 |
| ubotu | bart1105: 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 | 23:30 |
| ahillsbe | yes i have ntfs-3g installed, but it does not see sdb | 23:33 |
| bart1105 | thanx. i'll try it | 23:33 |
