| theunixgeek | How do I access my Linux partition on a Mac? | 02:02 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | Hey- I set this up on a box that's cdrom is almost broke | 02:11 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | the from button just lights the CD drive but doesnt open | 02:11 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | unless i use paperclip and force pull the drive open | 02:11 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | However | 02:11 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | if i put in a disk and ubuntu can see the disk - theres no problem with it reading - | 02:11 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | i can menu the disk on the desktop, and goto Eject. What command is that using to eject at that point? | 02:12 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | inside of the right click menu? because I need a shorrtcut to that command on the desk obviously | 02:12 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | ????? =) | 02:12 |
| soldats | eject | 02:12 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | eject /cdrom just makes the light come on and it sits | 02:12 |
| soldats | no just type eject | 02:13 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | but when i rightclick the mounted disk on the desktop and CHoose eject on that menu | 02:13 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | it Works! | 02:13 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | ? | 02:13 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | ive tried the switches | 02:13 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | read the man page to Eject too | 02:13 |
| soldats | "eject" in terminal | 02:13 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | nope . even 'sudo eject /cdrom' doesnt work in a terminal | 02:14 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | should i try from like tty3? | 02:14 |
| neur1 | what you tryin' to do? | 02:15 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | just *Maybe* its a bug with the hardware that is not allowing it to eject when the drive is empty???!!!!! | 02:16 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | Eject my cd drive . =D | 02:16 |
| soldats | NewXubuntuUser00, you should only have to type "eject" by itself in a terminal | 02:16 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | without a paperclip and forcing the gears the reverse literally | 02:16 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | nope that just makes the light come on | 02:16 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | but it will eject Post Mount | 02:17 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | =( | 02:17 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | via right click menu | 02:17 |
| soldats | than im not sure because when you right click it is the same command just in a click fashion | 02:17 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | you are absolutely positive? than just simply 'eject' should do the same thing though. | 02:17 |
| soldats | yes | 02:18 |
| soldats | there may be a large string for the clickable though but its to tell the gui to do the command for you | 02:18 |
| soldats | if you need a paperclip to open then its time for a new drive | 02:18 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | you'd think, right? but i got no other cd drive for this old box | 02:19 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | they're All Used =9 | 02:19 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | but id rly like to get it to do what it does just by telling it to | 02:19 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | =/ | 02:20 |
| neur1 | yikes mine just ejects with eject in prompt | 02:20 |
| soldats | thats how it should work | 02:21 |
| neur1 | maybe it's not installed | 02:21 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | do i hav to run unmount first, maybe? than Next the eject command? maybe Thats the bit that is making my drive eject with the software | 02:21 |
| soldats | NewXubuntuUser00, did you do sudo eject | 02:22 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | but it will not open with no disk in the drive | 02:22 |
| neur1 | check synaptic | 02:22 |
| soldats | neur1, thats not it | 02:22 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | from just the button on the fron of the drive itself . Yes, 'eject' is installed. ive 'man' d, too | 02:22 |
| soldats | sudo umount /cdrom | eject | 02:22 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | ok yes ty i try that | 02:22 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | cd not mounted. =( | 02:23 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | drive lite comes on SOS | 02:23 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | ??? =\ =/ =( i wonder what special thing xubuntu is doing from the right clic. menu that is making That work | 02:24 |
| soldats | no clue it may be a bug with your hardware | 02:25 |
| soldats | something might be conflicting | 02:25 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | wouldnt it open from the buton on the front? =D screw this thing ima bust it to hell hahahahahahha | 02:25 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | go buy cd drive for $5 | 02:25 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | still | 02:26 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | =( I WANA KNOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW | 02:26 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | =( | 02:26 |
| soldats | eject /dev/cdrom | 02:26 |
| soldats | ? | 02:26 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | tried that one didnt work. tried /media/cdrom and /media/cdrom0, too | 02:26 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | 0 didnt do anything i think | 02:26 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | nope zero just makes the light work and i hear something to like it might even by Starting to open up | 02:27 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | damn Free hardware hahahahahahahah =/ | 02:28 |
| soldats | yea best bet is to get a new one | 02:28 |
| soldats | srsly when you need to use a paperclip to open you need a new one | 02:28 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | yeah. ^ ^ but it DOES it i tell u ! jut only with a disk in the drive so that i can force the command in here | 02:29 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | *_* | 02:29 |
| Catoptromancy | sudo eject | 02:31 |
| soldats | he tried it no worky | 02:31 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | sudo appears to not make a difference | 02:32 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | with the switches i can get it to Not do anything | 02:32 |
| Catoptromancy | close your file manager | 02:32 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | (say - telling it to use the SCSI type style close command to send it) | 02:32 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | my File Manager? =O well i didnt think i had that open whenn i started but - Yes - I'll dso that | 02:32 |
| Catoptromancy | $ps -a and kill any process that seems to be viewing/using the cdrom | 02:33 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | WHAT? it says bash and ps | 02:33 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | what is a ps -a | 02:34 |
| soldats | having your file manager open shouldnt matter at all | 02:34 |
| Catoptromancy | I cant eject wih FM open at cd directory | 02:35 |
| soldats | i wonder why cause it shouldnt matter | 02:35 |
| somerville32 | It does matter | 02:35 |
| Catoptromancy | cdrom is mounted when viewing it | 02:35 |
| soldats | oh you mean viewing your cd in the manager? | 02:36 |
| Catoptromancy | when you click a differnt directory, then eject works since it auto unmounts the directory not in use | 02:36 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | yeah i think in thunar | 02:36 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | its not making any difference though so far | 02:36 |
| Catoptromancy | pastebin $ps -a | 02:37 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | i didnt even open thunar until the end of troubleshooting | 02:37 |
| Catoptromancy | orr | 02:37 |
| Catoptromancy | ps -e | 02:37 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | 4063 tty3 00:00:00 bash | 02:37 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | 4099 pts/0 00:00:00 ps | 02:37 |
| Catoptromancy | ya ps -e | 02:37 |
| Catoptromancy | use pastebinm | 02:37 |
| Catoptromancy | !pastebin | 02:37 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 02:37 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | it says thunar is on that list | 02:38 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | so do i kill thunar ? | 02:39 |
| Catoptromancy | might not be thunar | 02:39 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | im Yeah when i run top | 02:41 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | its only up for a sec than thunar doesn show anymoar | 02:41 |
| Catoptromancy | $ps -e | 02:41 |
| Catoptromancy | and use pastebin | 02:41 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | There i got is ! it was launched by mes | 02:41 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | ima kill it | 02:41 |
| Catoptromancy | heh | 02:42 |
| Catoptromancy | theres usually some odd app trying to use cdrom | 02:42 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | ok | 02:42 |
| Catoptromancy | when it wont eject | 02:42 |
| Catoptromancy | $ps -e lists all apps | 02:42 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48288/ | 02:45 |
| Rafabe | what are the reasons why GRUB would fail installing? | 02:46 |
| Rafabe | I had Xubuntu previously, wanted to format and try Kubuntu. The installer failed, so I tried to go back to Xubuntu. The only difference since I installed it is that before, I had a 200mb ext3 /boot partition and a 70gb / (root) ext3 partition. Now I have the 200mb boot, a 5gb / , and 65gb /home | 02:47 |
| Rafabe | also swap, obviously | 02:48 |
| Rafabe | it's set to format the drives before installing, so the previous GRUB shouldn't be causing problems | 02:48 |
| Catoptromancy | NewXubuntuUser00, still having eject problem? | 02:50 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | yeah i did a eject -r in term and i said last thing was INput/Output error. so something in the drive is horrid broke . time for a New Drive | 02:53 |
| soldats | Catoptromancy, do you suppose he should do eject -v and see which styles of eject fail | 02:54 |
| soldats | scsi or whatnot | 02:54 |
| Catoptromancy | i guess | 02:54 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | holy what | 02:54 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | watch THIS i pastebin | 02:54 |
| Catoptromancy | $info eject | 02:54 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48290/ | 02:55 |
| soldats | seems normanl | 02:56 |
| soldats | try eject -v | 02:56 |
| soldats | see which fails scsi or ide | 02:56 |
| Catoptromancy | sudo mount -t auto /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom | 02:56 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | normal IDE says it fails and it claims SCSI works | 02:57 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | but ive tried the -s switch i try it with -v | 02:57 |
| Catoptromancy | $mount see if its mountd | 02:57 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48291/ | 02:58 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | that last one is weird kus obviously the light came only Only no physiucal eject | 02:58 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | nope its not mounted checking with mount | 02:59 |
| soldats | its probly due to having to use a paperclip sometimes | 02:59 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | its Never opened since i received it | 02:59 |
| Catoptromancy | eject: `/dev/hdc' is a multipartition device | 02:59 |
| Catoptromancy | what | 02:59 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | ROFL ! yeah ! | 02:59 |
| Catoptromancy | multipartitions on a cd? | 02:59 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | =D | 02:59 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | no theres nothing in the drive. | 02:59 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | but if i put cd in | 03:00 |
| soldats | Catoptromancy, try it i think most say that | 03:00 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | and right click Eject in the menui | 03:00 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | it ejects | 03:00 |
| Catoptromancy | $file /dev/hda | 03:00 |
| soldats | block special | 03:00 |
| Catoptromancy | 3/0 | 03:01 |
| soldats | hah yea | 03:01 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | yeah special 3/0 | 03:01 |
| Catoptromancy | hm | 03:01 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | and if i enable auto eject | 03:03 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | with the 1 after the -a switch | 03:03 |
| soldats | Catoptromancy, i believe basically what he wanted to know was, whatever command the gui (r-click) does, he wants to know what it is to try it in a terminal | 03:03 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | it will just loop until i ctrl+c in console to kill the last thing i set in place | 03:03 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | thats a BAD thing, yes? | 03:05 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | that means that if im turning on that auto eject option which shouldnt b looping like that with No Disk in the drive anyway | 03:06 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | and it just loops | 03:06 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | thats a Bad thing, yes? | 03:06 |
| bigal | how do i determine my x version | 03:07 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | ima try Capial T | 03:07 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | eject -T | 03:07 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | ioctl: Input/output error | 03:07 |
| soldats | try cdrecord -eject | 03:08 |
| soldats | "cdrecord -eject" | 03:08 |
| soldats | or no whoops wrong channel | 03:08 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | shen i run cdrecord -scanbus | 03:18 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver. | 03:18 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | but its trying 'cdrw' | 03:19 |
| soldats | dont do it, i typed that here by mistake | 03:19 |
| soldats | cdrecord is a program not your cdrom drive | 03:19 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | its not a burner ne way | 03:19 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | well hey i gota go. ill try come bak tomarrow afternoon ill sleep on it | 03:20 |
| soldats | did you try reboot | 03:20 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | perhaps i should just get a new cd drive for $5 | 03:20 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | yes the drive Never opens on its own | 03:21 |
| soldats | yea | 03:21 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | except linux can eject it when a disk is in it | 03:21 |
| NewXubuntuUser00 | alrights well we gave it the Good Fight. ty - bb. | 03:21 |
| yfk | is there a way to install envy solely with apt? | 03:28 |
| soldats | have you tried it | 03:30 |
| yfk | tried what? | 03:30 |
| soldats | to install it with apt-get | 03:31 |
| soldats | command line right? | 03:31 |
| yfk | It's not at any of my repositories | 03:31 |
| yfk | if you know of one that has it then I'd love to know what it is | 03:32 |
| yfk | (32 bit) | 03:32 |
| soldats | what is envy | 03:32 |
| yfk | it installs nvidia and ati graphic card drivers automaticly | 03:33 |
| soldats | ahh you should ask your question again in #ubuntu they might know more | 03:34 |
| yfk | http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html | 03:34 |
| soldats | seems that you have to compile it yourself | 03:35 |
| soldats | it may not be in any repos | 03:35 |
| yfk | I think it is | 03:35 |

| mosno | i want to drag-out an item from my xfce menu onto the xfce panel -- how? | 04:38 |
| mosno | eg. Terminal | 04:38 |
| soldats | mosno, ive never been able to do it, you can try to rclick the taskbar and go to add new item | 04:39 |
| mosno | soldats: drats. | 04:40 |
| mosno | soldats: i know how to do it via the Add New Item, i just wanted to be 'canonical' and use the exact launcher already configured in my Menu | 04:40 |
| soldats | ahh | 04:41 |
| mosno | soldats: eg. imagine there were custom args being passed in the Menu item, which you didn't know how to replicate by yourself -- you'd have to hunt through your system menu in the shell | 04:41 |
| soldats | mosno, yes i know exactly ive been doing it for about an hour | 04:42 |
| soldats | i just recently figured out how to open thunar to any folder via menu | 04:42 |
| soldats | 30 mins ago | 04:43 |

| soldats | wait one sec | 04:51 |
| mosno | ok........ | 04:51 |
| soldats | say the command for like settings manager is "xfce-settings-show" do you know how i could do it in a terminal, i know some commands for opening folders to thunar from the menu but this is stumping me | 04:52 |
| mosno | do what in a term? | 04:53 |
| somerville32 | You just type the command in the terminal | 04:53 |
| soldats | say like open the gui for the panel manager | 04:53 |
| mosno | ok. what somerville32 said. | 04:53 |
| soldats | xfce-settings-show does nothing in a term though | 04:54 |
| mosno | is that all? i really must dash! :) | 04:54 |
| mosno | soldats: wrong command | 04:54 |
| soldats | ok yea its was just a quick question | 04:54 |
| mosno | xfce-setting-show | 04:54 |
| mosno | you made a typo | 04:54 |
| soldats | ahh | 04:54 |
| soldats | dang i cant read today | 04:54 |
| mosno | thank you come again! | 04:54 |
| * mosno dashes out door :) | 04:54 | |
| soldats | lol | 04:54 |
| somerville32 | xfce-setting-show doesn't work for me either | 04:55 |
| somerville32 | oh, nvm | 04:55 |
| somerville32 | it does work | 04:55 |
| soldats | yea i just realized it works | 04:55 |
| soldats | i was doing settins | 04:55 |
| soldats | settings** | 04:55 |
| soldats | i really didnt think running an xfce command would work in a terminal | 04:56 |
| soldats | but sweet now i know | 04:56 |
| soldats | this was basically the answer to Renegade420 question but i guess he left | 04:57 |

| big_area | hey everybody, i just upgraded to gutsy and im not gettin any sound from usb speakers or either of my sound cards | 05:16 |
| somerville32 | big_area, Did you try rebooting? | 05:16 |
| big_area | ya | 05:16 |
| big_area | by just upgraded i mean yesterday | 05:17 |
| big_area | does the sound system come configured or do i need to install a driver if i have a dedicated card? | 05:18 |
| mohkohn | I have a Gutsy Alternative-Installer Ubuntu CD and a Feisty Xubuntu cd. I want to have Gutsy Xubuntu. | 05:18 |
| somerville32 | mohkohn, go on | 05:19 |
| mohkohn | Which would be better. Install command line Gutsy and apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 05:19 |
| mohkohn | or to install the xubuntu feisty and dist-upgrade? | 05:19 |
| big_area | i've had trouble with the alt cd's in the past | 05:19 |
| somerville32 | big_area, Unplug your speakers and then plug them back in and give me the output in pastebin of dmesg | tail | 05:19 |
| mosno | mohkohn: the former | 05:19 |
| big_area | i suggest a dist-up from fiesty | 05:20 |
| mohkohn | I was leaning that way too mosno thanks. | 05:20 |
| somerville32 | alt-cds work fine usually | 05:20 |
| mosno | mohkohn: as big_area said, do a dist-upgrade | 05:20 |
| somerville32 | but do as they say :P | 05:21 |
| mohkohn | ok. I will have some lunch offline while installing xubuntu. Then I will do the dist-upgrade online according to the destructions :) | 05:22 |

| ands | hi.. is this the place I can ask for help with xubuntu? It seems really quiet in here... | 10:39 |
| TheSheep | ands: yes | 10:42 |
| ands | great! I recently installed xubuntu.. and today I booted up.. logged in as usual.. the background image came up.. and then nothing.. no menus.. just the mouse was visible.. I've done a bit of a search for help on the forums for the Xclient script.. but kinda stuck. Any suggestions on where I start? | 10:44 |
| TheSheep | ands: when you press alt+f2, anything comes up? | 10:47 |
| ands | yes.. a dialog box comes up asking if I want to run a program | 10:49 |
| TheSheep | ands: try typeing 'xfce4-panel in there | 10:49 |
| TheSheep | xfce4-panel | 10:49 |
| ands | :) yip.. that worked! | 10:50 |

| gergo_ny | hi, I have a beginner problem, I hope you can me help | 14:05 |
| aboyousif | gergo_ny, shoot | 14:05 |
| gergo_ny | I have Xubuntu 6.06.1 | 14:05 |
| gergo_ny | if I try to start normal mode the system freez out | 14:06 |
| gergo_ny | before the login page | 14:06 |
| gergo_ny | there isN't any log file after that | 14:06 |
| gergo_ny | I don't know what is the problem, how can I see it | 14:07 |
| ere4si | has it ever run? | 14:08 |
| gergo_ny | when I try to use fedore the problem was the same | 14:08 |
| gergo_ny | never | 14:08 |
| gergo_ny | just in in recovery mode | 14:08 |
| ere4si | might be the video card driver | 14:08 |
| gergo_ny | how can I see that or fix it? | 14:09 |
| ere4si | in recovery mode type - sudo dpkg-reonfigure xserver-xorg - and accept the defaults except for the video card driver - choose vesa - and you should get it to boot | 14:10 |
| gergo_ny | thanks a lot, I try it, bye | 14:12 |

| age6racer | hey guys, i just installed a fresh copy of Gutsy on an old laptop. The live CD worked fine and so does booting in recovery mode and then running startx, but when I log in normally the screen slowly goes blue then white until nothing is on the screen. If I plug into a monitor it works on that too. What is happening and how do i fix it? | 19:25 |
| somerville32 | age6racer, sounds like you need to reconfigure X | 19:27 |
| somerville32 | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 19:27 |
| age6racer | somerville32; Thanks I'll give it a go | 19:29 |
| age6racer | while I'm waiting for the thing to boot i'll add a couple of extra symptoms... no boot loader screen or verbose text output, and i didn't mention that this problem happend at the GDM login screen, not the desktop. | 19:30 |
| age6racer | somerville: same thing still happens | 19:35 |
| age6racer | it's screwed | 19:35 |
| age6racer | I've never seen this happen before | 19:35 |
| somerville32 | I haven't either :( | 19:36 |
| age6racer | I've run about 4 distros on this laptop including 4 versions of Ubuntu | 19:36 |
| somerville32 | Try asking in #ubuntu - someone there might know | 19:36 |
| age6racer | have done, no luck | 19:36 |
| somerville32 | reinstall? | 19:40 |
| age6racer | I'm getting the alternate install cd now | 19:41 |
