[02:06] 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. [02:13] does bios detect it on the celeron [02:14] err oops wrong screen [02:22] It's really frustrating. If anyone can offer any other advice where to look for what's wrong, I'd love to hear it. [03:16] R_M: do you know what chipset the card uses? [03:17] R_M: try this http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ [03:22] hello? [03:23] anyone out there? [03:23] ... [03:24] howdy! [03:24] hello :) [03:24] how are you this evening? [03:25] 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] bored i was supposed to go out but i havent heard from some people yet [03:25] *nod* [03:25] As in fact it doeswith my newer Linux box. [03:26] 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... [03:27] i got the live disc, so it should have loaded the operating system when i restarted and held down the "d" key [03:27] but it just froze up [03:27] any suggestions? [03:27] You sure the disc burned properly? [03:28] yeah, it verified and i can look at all the contents on the finder [03:28] does it make a difference that i used a CD and not a DVD? [03:28] no [03:29] 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? [03:30] its harder to do [03:30] not to be shove you away but i think i remembe a few people in #ubuntu who have done it [03:30] *nod* [03:31] well, i've had kubuntu up and running on this thing before [03:31] this channel is slow and its more populated over there [03:31] really? [03:31] yeah [03:31] worked fine [03:31] did you do a md5 check on the disk [03:31] yeah [03:32] after it didn't work the first time, i did anyway ;-) [03:32] md5 came out fine [03:32] hmm [03:33] the file i got was "xubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso" [03:33] that's the right one, yeah?

[05:43] Even if I kill the xscreensaver daemon something else is turning my laptop screen off, and its not a BIOS option [05:43] I believe the command is xset s off [05:44] read man xset for details [06:41] How do I set a program to startup when I boot?

[11:41] nothing [11:41] strange ... sorry, no idea [11:41] i tried to reinstall xfce4 meta package... maybe that will help? [11:42] is there a flag to get more verbose output when starting firefox? [11:44] tried --g-fatal-warnings and -jsconsole with the same result [11:46] graabein: ps -ef |grep firefox [11:46] graabein: if there is a firefox.bin process running kill it [11:47] nothing [11:47] MegaVolt: in firefox type: about:plugins [11:47] MegaVolt: see if flash and so on is there [11:47] graabein: whereis firefox [11:47] graabein: type that [11:48] firefox: /usr/bin/firefox /etc/firefox /usr/lib/firefox /usr/share/firefox /usr/share/man/man1/firefox.1.gz [11:48] or: dpkg -l | grep firefox [11:48] scizzo-: no plugins are installed [11:48] MegaVolt: restarted the browser after installing the plugins?

[11:49] yes, restarted several times [11:49] nothing at all, no [11:49] MegaVolt: asking again......did you restart the browser! [11:49] ? [11:49] yes [11:49] browser and the whole system [11:49] ;) [11:49] MegaVolt: dpkg -l|grep flash [11:50] MegaVolt: using firefox 2.0.0?

[11:50] with the recent updates [11:50] i set it up yesterday [11:50] MegaVolt: and typing about:plugins in firefox address feild gives no result? [11:51] yep, no plugins [11:51] and the grep command is empty [11:51] but synaptic shows that libswfdec is installed [11:51] as well as swfdec-mozilla [11:52] it's not really a clean system, i kept /home from the previous install [11:52] an earlier version of xubuntu i think [11:52] anyway, thanks for answering, i'll try getting into openbox [11:55] i just also tried the flashplugin-nonfree package [11:55] firefox sees it as installed [11:55] but the about:plugins is still empty [11:55] and flash doesnt work [11:56] MegaVolt: having it hard to belive that about:plugins or about:plugin does not show anything [11:57] No plug-ins are installed [11:57] Find more information about browser plug-ins at mozilla.org. [11:57] Help for installing plug-ins is available from plugindoc.mozdev.org. [11:57] thats what i get [11:57] ... und tschüss :) [11:57] mv@mv-laptop:~$ dpkg -l | grep flash [11:57] ii flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.48.0.2+really0ubuntu12 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer [11:58] now after i installed that package ... before that it was empty [11:58] restart the browser and check plugins again [11:58] same [11:59] no installed plugins [12:00] ls -l /usr/share/firefox/ [12:00] in that directory do you have something called plugins or something? [12:01] a folder "searchplugins" [12:01] sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras [12:03] 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 [12:04] its downloading [12:04] seems to take quite a while [12:04] MegaVolt: you are not using hardy are you? [12:04] hardy? [12:04] nvm [12:04] ;) [12:04] :P [12:04] however that package will install java also [12:05] the corefonts stuff takes forever [12:05] lots of small downloads from servers that timeout [12:05] ;) [12:05] its a collection of non-free stuff [12:07] i got plugins ;K) [12:08] all java stuff [12:08] dont see anything about flash [12:08] and flash doesnt work [12:11] greetings, i found the file rights were all wrong [12:11] grats ;) [12:13] MegaVolt, try locate libflashplayer.so [12:13] "locate libflashplayer.so" [12:13] or even better: find /usr/share -name "libflashplayer.so" [12:14] MegaVolt, are you running a 32bit or a 64bit install? [12:14] 32bit [12:14] scizzo-, I have it under /home [12:14] dunno why. [12:14] locate no result but I didnt set it up yet [12:14] sudo updatedb [12:15] predaeus: installing it should also put it in main path [12:15] the find thingy also got no result [12:15] MegaVolt: find /usr/ -name "libflash*" -ls [12:16] mv@mv-laptop:~$ find /usr/ -name "libflash*" -ls [12:16] 109520 216 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 217540 Nov 28 02:33 /usr/lib/openoffice/program/libflash680li.so [12:16] or find / -name "libflash*" -ls [12:16] o.O [12:16] sudo find / -name "libflash*" -ls [12:16] nothing in / either [12:16] try that instead [12:17] except for lots of proc and tmp stuff [12:17] anything in /home/yourname/.mozilla/plugins/ ? [12:17] there is no plugins folder [12:17] in .mozilla [12:17] MegaVolt: .mozilla/firefox/plugins/ [12:18] neither [12:18] mv@mv-laptop:~/.mozilla/firefox$ ls [12:18] 2b8r6yky.default pluginreg.dat profiles.ini [12:18] scizzo-, MegaVolt looks like I installed it through Firefox or somehting. I haven't got the package installed either. [12:19] pluginreg.dat shows the same as about:plugins [12:19] nothing about flash, only java stuff [12:20] sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get clean ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [12:20] now when the install starts try to see if it really downloads and installs the flashplayer [12:20] kk [12:23] aaaah [12:23] got the problem [12:24] ok? [12:24] --13:23:26-- http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz [12:24] => `./install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz' [12:24] Download done. [12:24] md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz [12:24] The Flash plugin is NOT installed. [12:24] there it is [12:24] right md5sum problem [12:24] but i have no idea how to fix it ;) [12:26] might be a workaround for it [12:27] the problem should not be xubuntu specific, right? [12:27] 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. [12:28] so waiting 1-2 days until the cheksum is updated should fix things? [12:28] http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash gives the same link as above [12:28] I am trying a workaround [12:28] I don't know if this is the cause. You could jsut download the tarball by hand and install it yourself. [12:29] wont that mess up synaptic management? [12:29] 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. [12:30] cant i somehow tell apt-get to skip the md5 chekc? [12:32] 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 [12:35] not sure how to go around it [12:36] well, it works [12:37] predaeus: no....its not the .deb md5sum [12:37] predaeus: its the flash package that is broken [12:37] i remember my gf had the same problem a while ago [12:37] but she never fixed it [12:37] so it might be broken over a week now [12:37] i guess its the same cause [12:38] scizzo-, I know. I see md5sum checks inside the package scripts [12:38] scizzo-, I assume it is the cause. I am currently scanning through launchpad for the relevant bug [12:41] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/174438 [12:41] Launchpad bug 174438 in flashplugin-nonfree "md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz on Ubuntu 7.10 64bit (dup-of: 173890)" [Undecided,New] [12:41] Launchpad bug 173890 in flashplugin-nonfree "flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version?" [Undecided,Confirmed] [12:42] yea [13:33] MegaVolt: still trying to get flash installed? [14:38] I have an AMD K-6 machine that has less than 128MB of RAM. What is the best lightweight linux distro that would work on this, and would be kid friendly? I am setting it up for an 8-year old girl.

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

[16:34] PA2556: run xfce4-mixer now [16:34] and check if volumes are set correctly [16:34] Where do I find it? [16:35] alt+f2 -> xfce4-mixer :P [16:36] Ok! Just had xubuntu for a day...so..:) [16:36] i have xubuntu for 30 minutes :] [16:36] Ok...had linux version for a day...first time testing it at all [16:37] xfce4 = Blank, nothing in the window [16:38] what? run xfce4-mixer [16:39] Did as you said, got a empty window opened [16:39] uuh.. not good [16:39] That I understand....lol [16:40] ok, so.. sudo apt-get alsa-tools [16:41] it will install necessery tools, since i don't see them installed by default.. [16:41] they don't take much space [16:41] Ok! [16:41] hi. just a question. what's the diff between alternate iso and desktop ? [16:42] soldats, desktop is graphical, that's the main difference [16:42] solsTiCe, sorry [16:42] ah ok [16:42] solsTiCe, so you can try out what it looks like [16:42] Alternate do the installation in text mode... [16:42] !alternate | solsTiCe [16:42] 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] i've just seen xubuntu recommended for an old pc with only 64Mo but the alternate [16:43] one [16:43] I think it might run on 64Mb, but it won't be fun... [16:43] yes. it's not for the fun ;-) [16:43] :P [16:43] vinze: any idea ? [16:43] PA2556: oops, that packet is named alsa-utils :D [16:43] fluxbuntu ? or other distro ? [16:44] solsTiCe, well, yes, I think you should go with the alternate cd for that [16:44] solsTiCe, yes, you could try Fluxbuntu too [16:44] Or perhaps something like Puppy Linux or Damn Small LInux or something [16:44] * vinze isn't an expert at light-weight distros [16:45] Ok...changed it, but seems like nothing happends.... [16:45] hmm.. but it lacks alsaconf.. [16:45] and without that tool we won't do anything.. [16:46] Back to square one....*sigh* LOL [16:46] because i messed with this kind of stuff two or three years ago.. and i forgot many things.. [16:46] hmm [16:47] Found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=974031&postcount=12 [16:47] ...but how do I edit the files?

[16:52] Nope, nothing happends [16:52] that method is a bit tricky :D but it may work.. [16:53] have you edited blacklist file and rc.local as described in manual ? [16:53] No, seems like I cant, doing the sudo thing nothing happends [16:54] eh.. [16:54] wait a second..
