| R_M | I have a question. So I don't have to retype it all here, it's at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3994582 . I brought it up here the other day and people asked if I was sure that the wireless card worked and that the PCI slot worked. I tested both, and they both did. | 02:06 |
|---|---|---|
| soldats | does bios detect it on the celeron | 02:13 |
| soldats | err oops wrong screen | 02:14 |
| R_M | It's really frustrating. If anyone can offer any other advice where to look for what's wrong, I'd love to hear it. | 02:22 |
| thruxton | R_M: do you know what chipset the card uses? | 03:16 |
| thruxton | R_M: try this http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ | 03:17 |
| ransom | hello? | 03:22 |
| ransom | anyone out there? | 03:23 |
| soldats | ... | 03:23 |
| ransom | howdy! | 03:24 |
| soldats | hello :) | 03:24 |
| ransom | how are you this evening? | 03:24 |
| R_M | thruxton: It's a Dynex DX-WGDTC card. According to the info I've found about it online, it works right out of the box with Linux. | 03:25 |
| soldats | bored i was supposed to go out but i havent heard from some people yet | 03:25 |
| ransom | *nod* | 03:25 |
| R_M | As in fact it doeswith my newer Linux box. | 03:25 |
| ransom | i have a question: i'm having trouble getting xubuntu up and running on my Core 1 Duo iMac. I think i grabbed the right version, i burned it to a cd, and i tried to load the disc from startup but it didn't work... | 03:26 |
| ransom | i got the live disc, so it should have loaded the operating system when i restarted and held down the "d" key | 03:27 |
| ransom | but it just froze up | 03:27 |
| ransom | any suggestions? | 03:27 |
| R_M | You sure the disc burned properly? | 03:27 |
| ransom | yeah, it verified and i can look at all the contents on the finder | 03:28 |
| ransom | does it make a difference that i used a CD and not a DVD? | 03:28 |
| soldats | no | 03:28 |
| ransom | i haven't tried it on a non-mac x86 computer 'cause i don't have one handy, but do you know if there are any issues with running it on an intel mac? | 03:29 |
| soldats | its harder to do | 03:30 |
| soldats | not to be shove you away but i think i remembe a few people in #ubuntu who have done it | 03:30 |
| ransom | *nod* | 03:30 |
| ransom | well, i've had kubuntu up and running on this thing before | 03:31 |
| soldats | this channel is slow and its more populated over there | 03:31 |
| soldats | really? | 03:31 |
| ransom | yeah | 03:31 |
| ransom | worked fine | 03:31 |
| soldats | did you do a md5 check on the disk | 03:31 |
| ransom | yeah | 03:31 |
| ransom | after it didn't work the first time, i did anyway ;-) | 03:32 |
| ransom | md5 came out fine | 03:32 |
| soldats | hmm | 03:32 |
| ransom | the file i got was "xubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso" | 03:33 |
| ransom | that's the right one, yeah? | 03:33 |

| MegaVolt | hi, i just set up my new xubuntu 7.10 system but flash (youtube and so on) doesnt work ... i got the macromedia flash mazilla plugin | 11:25 |
| MegaVolt | do i need something else? | 11:25 |
| graabein | hello | 11:36 |
| graabein | merry xmas :-) | 11:36 |
| MegaVolt | a little eary ,) | 11:36 |
| graabein | yes... how come firefox won't start? i'm on a clean 7.10 install and terminal start gives no message | 11:38 |
| MegaVolt | why terminal start?# | 11:40 |
| MegaVolt | in my clean install it works | 11:40 |
| MegaVolt | both via terminal and the icon | 11:41 |
| graabein | nothing happens when i start firefox from the menu so i figured a terminal start would show a reason why | 11:41 |
| MegaVolt | any console output? | 11:41 |
| graabein | nothing | 11:41 |
| MegaVolt | strange ... sorry, no idea | 11:41 |
| graabein | i tried to reinstall xfce4 meta package... maybe that will help? | 11:41 |
| MegaVolt | is there a flag to get more verbose output when starting firefox? | 11:42 |
| graabein | tried --g-fatal-warnings and -jsconsole with the same result | 11:44 |
| scizzo- | graabein: ps -ef |grep firefox | 11:46 |
| scizzo- | graabein: if there is a firefox.bin process running kill it | 11:46 |
| graabein | nothing | 11:47 |
| scizzo- | MegaVolt: in firefox type: about:plugins | 11:47 |
| scizzo- | MegaVolt: see if flash and so on is there | 11:47 |
| scizzo- | graabein: whereis firefox | 11:47 |
| scizzo- | graabein: type that | 11:47 |
| graabein | firefox: /usr/bin/firefox /etc/firefox /usr/lib/firefox /usr/share/firefox /usr/share/man/man1/firefox.1.gz | 11:48 |
| scizzo- | or: dpkg -l | grep firefox | 11:48 |
| MegaVolt | scizzo-: no plugins are installed | 11:48 |
| scizzo- | MegaVolt: restarted the browser after installing the plugins? | 11:48 |
| graabein | ii firefox 2.0.0.6+2nobinonly-0ubuntu1 lightweight web browser based on Mozilla | 11:48 |
| graabein | ii mozilla-firefox-locale-en-gb 2.0.0.7+1-0ubuntu2 Mozilla Firefox English language/region pack | 11:48 |
| graabein | ii ubufox 0.4~beta1-0ubuntu3 modifications for ubuntu firefox (default) i | 11:48 |
| MegaVolt | i used the packet manager for the plugins | 11:48 |
| scizzo- | graabein: what happens if you do: # /usr/bin/firfox | 11:48 |
| MegaVolt | that at least worked in kubuntu | 11:48 |
| scizzo- | nothing at all? | 11:48 |
| MegaVolt | yes, restarted several times | 11:49 |
| graabein | nothing at all, no | 11:49 |
| scizzo- | MegaVolt: asking again......did you restart the browser! | 11:49 |
| scizzo- | ? | 11:49 |
| MegaVolt | yes | 11:49 |
| MegaVolt | browser and the whole system | 11:49 |
| MegaVolt | ;) | 11:49 |
| scizzo- | MegaVolt: dpkg -l|grep flash | 11:49 |
| scizzo- | MegaVolt: using firefox 2.0.0? | 11:50 |
| MegaVolt | ... fresh xubuntu 7.10 install | 11:50 |
| graabein | i tried installing openbox maybe that work | 11:50 |
| scizzo- | graabein: strange.... | 11:50 |
| MegaVolt | with the recent updates | 11:50 |
| MegaVolt | i set it up yesterday | 11:50 |
| scizzo- | MegaVolt: and typing about:plugins in firefox address feild gives no result? | 11:50 |
| MegaVolt | yep, no plugins | 11:51 |
| MegaVolt | and the grep command is empty | 11:51 |
| MegaVolt | but synaptic shows that libswfdec is installed | 11:51 |
| MegaVolt | as well as swfdec-mozilla | 11:51 |
| graabein | it's not really a clean system, i kept /home from the previous install | 11:52 |
| graabein | an earlier version of xubuntu i think | 11:52 |
| graabein | anyway, thanks for answering, i'll try getting into openbox | 11:52 |
| MegaVolt | i just also tried the flashplugin-nonfree package | 11:55 |
| MegaVolt | firefox sees it as installed | 11:55 |
| MegaVolt | but the about:plugins is still empty | 11:55 |
| MegaVolt | and flash doesnt work | 11:55 |
| scizzo- | MegaVolt: having it hard to belive that about:plugins or about:plugin does not show anything | 11:56 |
| MegaVolt | No plug-ins are installed | 11:57 |
| MegaVolt | Find more information about browser plug-ins at mozilla.org. | 11:57 |
| MegaVolt | Help for installing plug-ins is available from plugindoc.mozdev.org. | 11:57 |
| MegaVolt | thats what i get | 11:57 |
| march | ... und tschüss :) | 11:57 |
| MegaVolt | mv@mv-laptop:~$ dpkg -l | grep flash | 11:57 |
| MegaVolt | ii flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.48.0.2+really0ubuntu12 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer | 11:57 |
| MegaVolt | now after i installed that package ... before that it was empty | 11:58 |
| scizzo- | restart the browser and check plugins again | 11:58 |
| MegaVolt | same | 11:58 |
| MegaVolt | no installed plugins | 11:59 |
| scizzo- | ls -l /usr/share/firefox/ | 12:00 |
| scizzo- | in that directory do you have something called plugins or something? | 12:00 |
| MegaVolt | a folder "searchplugins" | 12:01 |
| scizzo- | sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras | 12:01 |
| scizzo- | if you install that package and restart the browser.....and go to about:plugins with no result then something is really wrong since it should work | 12:03 |
| MegaVolt | its downloading | 12:04 |
| MegaVolt | seems to take quite a while | 12:04 |
| scizzo- | MegaVolt: you are not using hardy are you? | 12:04 |
| MegaVolt | hardy? | 12:04 |
| scizzo- | nvm | 12:04 |
| MegaVolt | ;) | 12:04 |
| scizzo- | :P | 12:04 |
| scizzo- | however that package will install java also | 12:04 |
| MegaVolt | the corefonts stuff takes forever | 12:05 |
| MegaVolt | lots of small downloads from servers that timeout | 12:05 |
| MegaVolt | ;) | 12:05 |
| scizzo- | its a collection of non-free stuff | 12:05 |
| MegaVolt | i got plugins ;K) | 12:07 |
| MegaVolt | all java stuff | 12:08 |
| MegaVolt | dont see anything about flash | 12:08 |
| MegaVolt | and flash doesnt work | 12:08 |
| graabein | greetings, i found the file rights were all wrong | 12:11 |
| MegaVolt | grats ;) | 12:11 |
| predaeus | MegaVolt, try locate libflashplayer.so | 12:13 |
| predaeus | "locate libflashplayer.so" | 12:13 |
| scizzo- | or even better: find /usr/share -name "libflashplayer.so" | 12:13 |
| predaeus | MegaVolt, are you running a 32bit or a 64bit install? | 12:14 |
| MegaVolt | 32bit | 12:14 |
| predaeus | scizzo-, I have it under /home | 12:14 |
| predaeus | dunno why. | 12:14 |
| MegaVolt | locate no result but I didnt set it up yet | 12:14 |
| predaeus | sudo updatedb | 12:14 |
| scizzo- | predaeus: installing it should also put it in main path | 12:15 |
| MegaVolt | the find thingy also got no result | 12:15 |
| scizzo- | MegaVolt: find /usr/ -name "libflash*" -ls | 12:15 |
| MegaVolt | mv@mv-laptop:~$ find /usr/ -name "libflash*" -ls | 12:16 |
| MegaVolt | 109520 216 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 217540 Nov 28 02:33 /usr/lib/openoffice/program/libflash680li.so | 12:16 |
| scizzo- | or find / -name "libflash*" -ls | 12:16 |
| scizzo- | o.O | 12:16 |
| scizzo- | sudo find / -name "libflash*" -ls | 12:16 |
| MegaVolt | nothing in / either | 12:16 |
| scizzo- | try that instead | 12:16 |
| MegaVolt | except for lots of proc and tmp stuff | 12:17 |
| predaeus | anything in /home/yourname/.mozilla/plugins/ ? | 12:17 |
| MegaVolt | there is no plugins folder | 12:17 |
| MegaVolt | in .mozilla | 12:17 |
| scizzo- | MegaVolt: .mozilla/firefox/plugins/ | 12:17 |
| MegaVolt | neither | 12:18 |
| MegaVolt | mv@mv-laptop:~/.mozilla/firefox$ ls | 12:18 |
| MegaVolt | 2b8r6yky.default pluginreg.dat profiles.ini | 12:18 |
| predaeus | scizzo-, MegaVolt looks like I installed it through Firefox or somehting. I haven't got the package installed either. | 12:18 |
| MegaVolt | pluginreg.dat shows the same as about:plugins | 12:19 |
| MegaVolt | nothing about flash, only java stuff | 12:19 |
| scizzo- | sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get clean ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 12:20 |
| scizzo- | now when the install starts try to see if it really downloads and installs the flashplayer | 12:20 |
| MegaVolt | kk | 12:20 |
| MegaVolt | aaaah | 12:23 |
| MegaVolt | got the problem | 12:23 |
| scizzo- | ok? | 12:24 |
| MegaVolt | --13:23:26-- http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz | 12:24 |
| MegaVolt | => `./install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz' | 12:24 |
| MegaVolt | Download done. | 12:24 |
| MegaVolt | md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz | 12:24 |
| MegaVolt | The Flash plugin is NOT installed. | 12:24 |
| MegaVolt | there it is | 12:24 |
| scizzo- | right md5sum problem | 12:24 |
| MegaVolt | but i have no idea how to fix it ;) | 12:24 |
| scizzo- | might be a workaround for it | 12:26 |
| MegaVolt | the problem should not be xubuntu specific, right? | 12:27 |
| predaeus | MegaVolt, there doesn't seem to be an md5sum on the flash site. Maybe they updated the file and Ubuntu devs did not update the md5sum check. | 12:27 |
| MegaVolt | so waiting 1-2 days until the cheksum is updated should fix things? | 12:28 |
| predaeus | http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash gives the same link as above | 12:28 |
| scizzo- | I am trying a workaround | 12:28 |
| predaeus | I don't know if this is the cause. You could jsut download the tarball by hand and install it yourself. | 12:28 |
| MegaVolt | wont that mess up synaptic management? | 12:29 |
| predaeus | Anyway, I can't see an md5sum on that page. So the Ubuntu devs probably just calculated one themselves and compare to it. Which would fail if the version on the server changes. | 12:29 |
| MegaVolt | cant i somehow tell apt-get to skip the md5 chekc? | 12:30 |
| MegaVolt | hm apt-get now thinks that the flash plugin is installed so installing it by hand won't mess with it, right? I'll go with that then | 12:32 |
| scizzo- | not sure how to go around it | 12:35 |
| MegaVolt | well, it works | 12:36 |
| scizzo- | predaeus: no....its not the .deb md5sum | 12:37 |
| scizzo- | predaeus: its the flash package that is broken | 12:37 |
| MegaVolt | i remember my gf had the same problem a while ago | 12:37 |
| MegaVolt | but she never fixed it | 12:37 |
| MegaVolt | so it might be broken over a week now | 12:37 |
| MegaVolt | i guess its the same cause | 12:37 |
| predaeus | scizzo-, I know. I see md5sum checks inside the package scripts | 12:38 |
| predaeus | scizzo-, I assume it is the cause. I am currently scanning through launchpad for the relevant bug | 12:38 |
| scizzo- | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/174438 | 12:41 |

| PA2556 | Cirrus Logic CS 4610/11 | 16:30 |
| PA2556 | Ok! | 16:30 |
| Wizard | hmm.. it should work.. | 16:30 |
| Wizard | first, give lspci -v in terminal and see if os detects it | 16:31 |
| PA2556 | Seen some helps where you should edit in some files, but I cant save them when I edit in them..:( | 16:31 |
| PA2556 | Yepp, there I found what card it is | 16:31 |
| Wizard | now, give lsmod, and locate modules with snd_ at the beginning | 16:32 |
| billy_idle | Is there a possibility to deactivate the screensaver in 7.10? Currently I can choose Blank Screen or Random. | 16:32 |

| PA2556 | Ok...and how to fix that? | 16:34 |
| Wizard | PA2556: run xfce4-mixer now | 16:34 |
| Wizard | and check if volumes are set correctly | 16:34 |
| PA2556 | Where do I find it? | 16:34 |
| Wizard | alt+f2 -> xfce4-mixer :P | 16:35 |
| PA2556 | Ok! Just had xubuntu for a day...so..:) | 16:36 |
| Wizard | i have xubuntu for 30 minutes :] | 16:36 |
| PA2556 | Ok...had linux version for a day...first time testing it at all | 16:36 |

| PA2556 | Did as you said, got a empty window opened | 16:39 |
| Wizard | uuh.. not good | 16:39 |
| PA2556 | That I understand....lol | 16:39 |
| Wizard | ok, so.. sudo apt-get alsa-tools | 16:40 |
| Wizard | it will install necessery tools, since i don't see them installed by default.. | 16:41 |
| Wizard | they don't take much space | 16:41 |
| PA2556 | Ok! | 16:41 |
| solsTiCe | hi. just a question. what's the diff between alternate iso and desktop ? | 16:41 |
| vinze | soldats, desktop is graphical, that's the main difference | 16:42 |
| vinze | solsTiCe, sorry | 16:42 |
| solsTiCe | ah ok | 16:42 |
| vinze | solsTiCe, so you can try out what it looks like | 16:42 |
| PA2556 | Alternate do the installation in text mode... | 16:42 |
| vinze | !alternate | solsTiCe | 16:42 |
| ubotu | solsTiCe: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal | 16:42 |
| solsTiCe | i've just seen xubuntu recommended for an old pc with only 64Mo but the alternate | 16:42 |
| solsTiCe | one | 16:43 |
| vinze | I think it might run on 64Mb, but it won't be fun... | 16:43 |
| solsTiCe | yes. it's not for the fun ;-) | 16:43 |
| vinze | :P | 16:43 |
| solsTiCe | vinze: any idea ? | 16:43 |
| Wizard | PA2556: oops, that packet is named alsa-utils :D | 16:43 |
| solsTiCe | fluxbuntu ? or other distro ? | 16:43 |
| vinze | solsTiCe, well, yes, I think you should go with the alternate cd for that | 16:44 |
| vinze | solsTiCe, yes, you could try Fluxbuntu too | 16:44 |
| vinze | Or perhaps something like Puppy Linux or Damn Small LInux or something | 16:44 |

| RandyboY | How can i reset my screen options? Im using my flat-tv as screen and now its shaking. I tried to change the graphics card and i didnt even get the "test" option and it choosed it. It just set some driver or something, and startet shaking. | 17:05 |
| Wizard | ahh.. i forgot that this is 'noob friendly' vhannel | 17:05 |
| predaeus | RandyboY, if the output from the computer to the TV is fickering unplugging the antenna cable might help. | 17:28 |
| predaeus | *flickering | 17:28 |
| predaeus | or cables leading to other devices. | 17:29 |

| stone[no] | thesheep: A warning might have done it... | 19:07 |
| TheSheep | stone[no]: want to discuss it on #ubuntu-ops? | 19:08 |
| TheSheep | stone[no]: warning wouldn't astop the flood | 19:08 |
| vinze | Perhaps should've told him to come back...? | 19:09 |
| TheSheep | vinze: I tried, he disconnected | 19:09 |
| vinze | TheSheep, oh, too bad then | 19:09 |
| stone[no] | thesheep: Hey I know. But I guess he was a noobe and didn't know that pasting multiple lines will not show as one message... | 19:09 |
| TheSheep | stone[no]:sthis is really an OT discussion in here | 19:10 |
| stone[no] | thesheep: Yeah i know...* | 19:10 |
| gerro | how would I set an icon for .odt files? | 19:11 |
| gerro | I mean none the other themes have something set so was curious as to how | 19:12 |
| TheSheep | gerro: put it in ~/.icons/hicolor/(size)/mimetypes/x-office-document.(png/svg) | 19:14 |
| Wyrmul | sorry about earlier. | 19:15 |
| gerro | umm can't I just put it in my icon theme under /usr/share/icons/ | 19:15 |
| gerro | oh and would that give .doc and .odt different style icons? | 19:15 |
| Wyrmul | Does anyone know how to switch from the load screen to the boot dialloge? | 19:16 |
| vinze | Wyrmul, Ctrl+Alt+F1 | 19:16 |
| TheSheep | Wyrmul: glad you're back :) | 19:16 |
| Wyrmul | while the while booting? | 19:16 |
| gerro | Wyrmul: or edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove splash and quiet | 19:16 |
| vinze | Wyrmul, yes | 19:16 |
| Wyrmul | sheep: back propperly chastized | 19:16 |
| TheSheep | gerro: hmm.. probably not | 19:17 |
| vinze | ...or just quiet, right? | 19:17 |
| Wyrmul | whoo keen thanks | 19:17 |
| TheSheep | gerro: putting them in /usr/share would require you rebuild the icon cache | 19:17 |
| TheSheep | Wyrmul: sorry, that's the only working method to stop the flood :) | 19:17 |
| gerro | TheSheep: which is as simple as reselecting my current icon theme under settings right? | 19:17 |
| TheSheep | gerro: no | 19:18 |
| gerro | I kinda just stuffed my own incons a in a theme directory and used that before.. what you mean icon cache? | 19:18 |
| TheSheep | gerro: you do it with gtk-update-icon-cache | 19:19 |
| gerro | hmm ok | 19:19 |
| gerro | command complete.. kinda quick and pointless | 19:19 |
| TheSheep | gerro: in the directory of thei con theme | 19:20 |
| TheSheep | gerro: also, you will have to do it eveyr time you update the icon theem from the repositories | 19:21 |
| gerro | theSheep: is this something new to 7.10? | 19:23 |
| TheSheep | gerro: no, that's how gtk icon themes work in general | 19:23 |
| gerro | I'm doing that command in every directory as my user and root | 19:24 |
| gerro | still just completes and exits | 19:24 |
| gerro | I think before I used a current theme and replaced all its icons | 19:25 |
| gerro | perhaps that is why I never ran into this problem | 19:25 |
| TheSheep | you only need to run it in tbase directory of the theme | 19:26 |
| TheSheep | the | 19:26 |
| TheSheep | for example /usr/share/icons/Tango/ | 19:26 |
| gerro | ahah I got the wrong file permissions... | 19:27 |
| gerro | this time I didn't forget the ls -ln confusing it with ln -s :) | 19:28 |
| gerro | alright still no luck | 19:31 |

| Yoques | what's that? | 23:58 |
| Yoques | I prefer text | 23:58 |
| s34n | which are you booting into now? | 23:58 |
| Yoques | that's the cuestion I delete the "splash" | 23:59 |
| Yoques | directly enter, with no pass | 23:59 |
