| tuga3d | ??? anyone? | 00:12 |
| bart1105 | somerville32: i got it working but now its taking too long to shutdown, cifs vfs: server not responding | 00:16 |

| bart1105 | ok thanx | 00:16 |
| demi` | hi, what's a good power management app for xubuntu? the cpu fan is running crazy non-stop, even if cpu usage is 1% >_> | 00:18 |
| tuga3d | somerville32, can you please give me a hint how to do it? | 00:19 |
| somerville32 | tuga3d, I have no idea, I'm sorry :( | 00:20 |
| somerville32 | tuga3d, It most likely has to do with mime data though | 00:20 |
| tuga3d | ok, thanks anyaway ;) | 00:20 |
| tuga3d | one more question, what is lighter xubuntu or fluxbuntu? | 00:21 |
| seisen | fluxbuntu | 00:23 |

| smfenn | hello | 00:36 |
| thruxton | hi | 00:36 |
| smfenn | i'm having some issues with my xubuntu install, is this the right place to ask for support? | 00:36 |
| thruxton | smfenn: sure, hopefully someone here can help | 00:37 |
| smfenn | I'm using an old 433htz G4 mac and i've managed to get it installed, but when I boot up, I get the bootlogo but then get a initramfs command prompt. | 00:38 |
| smfenn | and can't get into xubuntu at all | 00:39 |
| smfenn | unfortunately i'm a complete linux n00b, so i'm not sure what I can do to fix it. | 00:39 |
| daurnimator | smfenn: I'm fairly newby too, but check your grub.conf to see if its using the correct hdd | 00:40 |
| thruxton | well i think it would be good to disable the splash, so you see each boot message | 00:40 |
| smfenn | and how would i do either of those options? | 00:41 |
| daurnimator | boot live cd | 00:43 |
| smfenn | and? | 00:43 |
| daurnimator | open mousepad | 00:44 |
| daurnimator | something like /grub/something/grub.conf | 00:44 |
| daurnimator | in your installed version | 00:44 |
| smfenn | what is mousepad? | 00:44 |
| thruxton | daurnimator: if he cant boot it, he likely cant edit menu.lst | 00:46 |
| smfenn | ahh. | 00:47 |
| daurnimator | smfenn: simple gui text editor - like notepad on windows | 00:47 |
| daurnimator | thruxton: surely he can boot the livecd... or how could he have installed it in the first place | 00:47 |
| smfenn | well i used the alternative cd with video=ofonly | 00:48 |
| daurnimator | welll.... sorry, out of my league :) | 00:48 |
| smfenn | the plain old Live CD won't work on my macs. | 00:48 |
| smfenn | that you for trying :) | 00:48 |
| smfenn | thank* | 00:48 |

| smfenn | is there any one else out their who could possibly help with my problem please? | 00:52 |
| somerville32 | smfenn, what is your problem? | 00:58 |
| daurnimator | :( | 01:04 |
| daurnimator | compiz seems to keep closing itself | 01:05 |
| daurnimator | next xubuntu better have it built in | 01:05 |
| somerville32 | daurnimator, You better grovel at my feet then :P | 01:06 |
| daurnimator | ? | 01:06 |
| somerville32 | daurnimator, If you want compiz built in next release, you better start groveling at my feet :P | 01:07 |
| daurnimator | you an admin or something? | 01:07 |
| somerville32 | We don't have admins | 01:08 |
| somerville32 | Just people who help develop Xubuntu :) | 01:08 |
| daurnimator | surely someone heads up the project | 01:08 |
| daurnimator | who sets the dates - who confirms things for real - who sets the goals etc | 01:08 |
| somerville32 | Well, we fall under Ubuntu governance | 01:09 |
| somerville32 | So, the TB and CC | 01:09 |
| daurnimator | right | 01:09 |
| somerville32 | But we generally just do our thing anyhow, haha | 01:09 |
| somerville32 | mr_pouit is the lead of the Xubuntu project though | 01:09 |
| daurnimator | right, you'd have to call him an admin then? ;) | 01:10 |
| daurnimator | the thing I'd like to see included in xubuntu is a simple gfx editor | 01:11 |
| daurnimator | something like paint.net on windows | 01:12 |
| somerville32 | We include gimp, no? | 01:12 |
| daurnimator | too advanced | 01:13 |
| daurnimator | It needs to come with something simple | 01:13 |
| daurnimator | even something like MSPAint is to windows | 01:14 |
| daurnimator | something that anyone can open, and just knows how to use | 01:15 |
| limbert65 | Is there a way (is it advisable) to get the Firefox 3 beta using apt-get? | 01:31 |
| seisen | ya install firefox granparismo | 01:34 |

| seisen | they must have changed it then | 01:36 |
| limbert65 | sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 (should have tried that) | 01:36 |
| limbert65 | will that replace the existing firefox 2, or install alongside it? | 01:36 |
| daurnimator | alongside | 01:44 |
| daurnimator | and its called granpariso | 01:44 |
| daurnimator | which I hate | 01:44 |

| tim_11 | Hi | 04:05 |

| tim_11 | do u know? | 04:05 |
| tim_11 | please tell me to please how do I isntall new icons ? | 04:05 |
| nikolam | Hm i think there is some tutorial on themes page | 04:06 |
| nikolam | Also, you have user interface settings | 04:07 |
| nikolam | and icon theme tab on it | 04:07 |
| tim_11 | no... | 04:07 |
| tim_11 | i wan to install NEW icons | 04:08 |
| nikolam | xfce-look.org I think | 04:08 |
| tim_11 | yes I downlaod them but how do i isntall em? | 04:08 |
| nikolam | i think there is some listed "theme" on that site, that includes some tutorial/howto | 04:09 |
| tim_11 | how do i isntall them after i downlaod them | 04:15 |
| nikolam | http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/HOW-TO++install?content=14906 | 04:15 |
| nikolam | tim_11, there it is. Just one search on page. i think there is more of it | 04:16 |
| tim_11 | it is hard....\ | 04:17 |
| tim_11 | i can't understand how to do it | 04:18 |
| nikolam | just unpack it in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/ | 04:18 |
| tim_11 | ok cool | 04:18 |
| nikolam | you need to unpack it as root beacouse it is system folder | 04:19 |
| tim_11 | how do i unpack it as a root? | 04:20 |
| nikolam | so, therefore, use sudo tar -zxvf to unpack: sudo tar -zxvf cursortheme.tgz /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/ | 04:20 |
| nikolam | OR open Thunar or other file manager as root and do the same | 04:20 |
| nikolam | Alt+F2, gksu Thunar | 04:20 |
| drc822 | anyone use zsh? | 04:21 |

| neur1 | why doesn't the server kernel connect wirelessly? | 05:15 |
| nikolam | what is "server kernel"? | 05:16 |
| nikolam | You think kernel in server version of xubuntu? | 05:17 |
| nikolam | I don`t know if there IS server version of Xubuntu | 05:17 |
| neur1 | when I turn on my laptop I have two choices server and generic | 05:17 |
| nikolam | Maybe server version of Ubuntu. | 05:17 |
| neur1 | wireless only works in generic, how come? | 05:18 |
| nikolam | Maybe you could ask that question in some group/channel about Ubuntu Server | 05:19 |
| neur1 | I don't have ubuntu, it's xubuntu | 05:20 |
| nikolam | So you are saying, there actually IS Xubuntu server edition. I dodn`t know that. | 05:20 |
| neur1 | I don't know it's listed in my grub | 05:21 |
| neur1 | when I turn on my laptop | 05:22 |
| nikolam | You can choose what kernel will boot in sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst under default (by number) | 05:23 |

| bgergo94 | hi | 13:41 |
| bgergo94 | i have a problem with the xubuntu | 13:42 |
| Norgur | metaquestion^^ | 13:42 |
| bgergo94 | when the comp is working a lot of small lines appears on the screen | 13:42 |
| Norgur | what is it? | 13:42 |
| bgergo94 | it appears at 1024x768 60 Hz | 13:43 |
| thegeeker | LCD or CRT monitor? | 13:43 |
| bgergo94 | when i raise the frequency there are more lines on the display | 13:43 |
| bgergo94 | LCD | 13:43 |
| thegeeker | Video card and driver? | 13:43 |
| bgergo94 | my video card: Trident Cyberblade | 13:44 |
| thegeeker | LCD usually uses a lower refresh, like 50Hz-60Hz | 13:44 |
| bgergo94 | but there isn't lower frequency then 60 Hz | 13:45 |
| thegeeker | If the lines are not always there, I would be more inclined to blame the video card or driver | 13:46 |
| bgergo94 | how can i refresh the driver | 13:46 |
| bgergo94 | ? | 13:46 |
| thegeeker | That is an excellent question, which I do not have the answer to | 13:47 |
| TheSheep | bgergo94: you don't, it comes with the kernel | 13:49 |

| Twinkletoes | Does GDM require you to use the Gnome desktop, or can you use GDM and still use KDE etc? | 14:57 |
| thegeeker | you can use xdm, gdm, or kdm and use gnome, kde, or xfce with any of them | 14:58 |
| thegeeker | xdm is ugly though, so don't use that ;) | 14:58 |
| Twinkletoes | thegeeker: Ah, thank you - so when I log in, what is it that gdm does to start my preferred desktop? | 14:58 |
| thegeeker | You need to pick your session | 14:58 |
| Twinkletoes | thegeeker: I'm asking because I installed xrdp, but when I remote login, I only get a crappy b/w desktop | 14:58 |
| Twinkletoes | thegeeker: Need to know what to tell xrdp to start my desktop | 14:59 |
| thegeeker | Hm, I'm not sure how xrdp figures into it | 14:59 |
| Twinkletoes | thegeeker: If I wanted to say "start my desktop", which program (eg xfce) is it that I need to run? | 14:59 |
| thegeeker | When you login locally you can choose your session among gnome/kde/xfce depending on what you have installed | 15:00 |
| thegeeker | xfce4 maybe | 15:00 |
| Twinkletoes | thegeeker: Ok, thanks - I'll give that a whirl | 15:00 |
| thegeeker | maybe not | 15:00 |
| Jyzygzel- | how do you mount windows partitions? | 15:05 |

| drc822 | !samba Jyzygzel- | 15:07 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about samba jyzygzel- - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 15:07 |
| Twinkletoes | thegeeker: Thank you - I found that after your suggestion... I can type it in manually after getting that standard b/w desktop, but I need to work out how to make xrdp do that by defauilt ;) | 15:08 |
| drc822 | damn cant remember the syntax | 15:08 |
| Jyzygzel- | MOUNT | 15:08 |
| Twinkletoes | thegeeker: Thank you for your help tho :) | 15:08 |
| Jyzygzel- | not access them over network | 15:08 |
| drc822 | Jyzygzel-: install samba package, sudo mount -t smbfs //computer/sharename /mountpoint | 15:08 |
| drc822 | Jyzygzel-: u can also install swat to use a web-interface on them | 15:09 |
| drc822 | if its easier for u.. or gsambad for a nice gnome interface | 15:09 |
| thegeeker | Twinkletoes: I think this will do it for you: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-newbie/42362-start-xfce-gui.html#post229337 | 15:10 |

| pieisgood4589 | Hi | 20:34 |
| pieisgood4589 | Bi | 20:34 |
| sulle | everytime i start my Xubuntu i get "check forced".. what can i do to fix this ? | 20:46 |
| thegeeker | sulle: maybe this will help: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/12/tuning-the-filesystem-check-at-bootup/ | 20:49 |
| TheSheep | sulle: also, shutting down properly would help | 20:52 |
| thegeeker | True, you shouldn't get that every time unless you are pulling the power plug instead of going through shutdown | 20:53 |
| evil_tech | that or you interupt the check | 20:54 |
| thegeeker | Good point | 20:54 |
| sulle | should i do a fcsk? | 20:54 |
| thegeeker | Let it finish once and you won't see it for another 30 reboots | 20:55 |
| sulle | i do. i restart and it pops right back up. | 20:55 |
| thegeeker | Unless you pull the power plug | 20:55 |
| sulle | have been this way for more than 1 month. | 20:55 |
| evil_tech | does it find errors? | 20:56 |
| sulle | not everytime.... | 20:56 |
| sulle | but bad blocks sometimes. | 20:56 |
| thegeeker | yikes, get a new HD | 20:56 |
| evil_tech | i would run a check of the hard drive with a diskette from the manufcaturer | 20:56 |
| sulle | but it works greate if i boot in windows:S | 20:57 |
| evil_tech | cause that sounds like failing hardware | 20:57 |
| evil_tech | have you ran a scandisk or chkdsk from windows? | 20:57 |
| sulle | yes. no problems | 20:57 |
| evil_tech | wierd | 20:57 |
| thegeeker | i don't think the windows scandisk will check the linux partitions | 20:57 |
| evil_tech | no it wont | 20:58 |
| evil_tech | but if it is the hard disk going bad its not going to be isolated to just the linux part | 20:58 |
| thegeeker | so the bad parts are in the linux partitions | 20:58 |
| sulle | would u recommend a fcsk ? | 20:58 |
| thegeeker | I would recommend a new HD | 20:59 |
| evil_tech | i recommend testing the drive with the manufacturers utility | 20:59 |
| evil_tech | run the full read scan and if it fails then you need a new hard disk | 21:00 |
| sulle | okok | 21:00 |
| evil_tech | if not then something is corrupting your filesystem | 21:00 |
| stone[no] | sulle: Are you running a plain vanilla xubuntu install, no "exotic" software, boot options etc? | 21:02 |
| sulle | nope. only changed theme and got vmware and some other software. | 21:02 |
| stone[no] | what filesystem do you use? | 21:02 |
| sulle | ext2 | 21:03 |
| sulle | stone[no]: norsk ? | 21:03 |
| stone[no] | jepp :) | 21:03 |
| sulle | :D flott =) | 21:03 |
| stone[no] | sulle: How old is the hd? | 21:04 |
| sulle | about 2 years. | 21:05 |
| stone[no] | sulle: I guess you have the recents updates installed? You could also try to boot from an live distro and run the fsch on the unmounted hd... My two cents :) | 21:06 |
| sulle | hehe okok. | 21:07 |
| sulle | i can try=) | 21:07 |
| === XwarlokX82 is now known as X|away | ||
| stone[no] | sulle: you have the vmware player or virt machine? | 21:16 |
| sulle | both | 21:18 |
| stone[no] | I'm not sure but my guth feeling tells me the virt machine could be the culprint... Does it work the same way as xen? | 21:20 |
| stone[no] | gut | 21:20 |
| sulle | i dont know... i will try to fcsk from a live cd in a moment | 21:21 |

| zoredache | out of his homedirectory... | 23:46 |
| zoredache | I am not certain but maybe the problem lives in .config/xfce | 23:47 |
| zoredache | you could just make a backup of his home directory, delete everything, then add back things that are good | 23:47 |
| sleepwalk | zoredache: I'll check that out. Thanks | 23:49 |
