gpxvp | So finally got xubuntu up and running, due to lack of intelligence that took a while. Now how do i get irssi installed? apt-get install irssi didnt work neither did aptitude install irssi so hmm =D | 00:34 |
---|---|---|
scizzo- | gpxvp: using mirrors from the net? | 00:56 |
scizzo- | gpxvp: I mean is it trying to get irssi from disk or cd? | 00:57 |
gpxvp | hmm | 01:01 |
gpxvp | i think it's trying to get it from disk/cd | 01:01 |
gpxvp | by a tip from someone else i checked my sources.list and everything was commented out | 01:01 |
gpxvp | i removed the comments now though | 01:02 |
gpxvp | didnt help though | 01:03 |
gpxvp | or do i need to do something to make the modified .list be used | 01:04 |
scizzo- | gpxvp: did you comment out the cdrom one? | 01:12 |
scizzo- | and then ran: sudo apt-get update | 01:12 |
scizzo- | apt-cache search irssi | 01:12 |
gpxvp | i fixed it by just using the synaptic package manager | 01:16 |
gpxvp | but yea apt-get update worked now | 01:17 |
scizzo- | ok | 01:18 |
scizzo- | well I am off to bed | 01:18 |
scizzo- | nn | 01:18 |
neur1 | anyone using conky? | 03:39 |
nikolam | what to do when process is stuck? | 05:07 |
somerville32 | nikolam, kill it :) | 05:08 |
nikolam | For example, i tried to fix that Nasty UUID mess in /etc/fstab | 05:08 |
nikolam | And started sudo vol_id /dev/sda1 | 05:08 |
somerville32 | sudo killall vol_id | 05:08 |
nikolam | Now I have a bunch of dead vol_id`s | 05:08 |
nikolam | It wont die | 05:08 |
somerville32 | use code 9 | 05:09 |
soldats | or pgrep "process" and then kill the PID it says it is | 05:09 |
nikolam | even sudo kill -9 wont work | 05:09 |
somerville32 | nikolam, reboot then | 05:09 |
nikolam | ps -A | grep vol_id | 05:09 |
nikolam | Ah,, same like windblows. | 05:09 |
nikolam | I tried to fix issue with Ctrl+D needded to press while rebooting.. | 05:10 |
somerville32 | and why exactly is /etc/fstab a mess? | 05:10 |
nikolam | Why we have UUID`s in /etc/fstab, anyway? To make machine useless every time i format some partition? :I | 05:10 |
somerville32 | no | 05:11 |
somerville32 | !uuid | nikolam | 05:11 |
ubotu | nikolam: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 05:11 |
nikolam | It happens just like that, every time. Wont boot till i press Ctrl+d | 05:11 |
somerville32 | nikolam, Yea, I think I saw your bug report in my mailbox. | 05:11 |
nikolam | Ok, every command I type gets stuck. I need to reboot, CU | 05:13 |
nikolam | 10x 2 all | 05:13 |
legoman | I got some problems with Xubuntu 7.10. When I try to execute terminal, I just got black screen, see some text with [OK], and after that I'm back to log-in screen | 10:53 |
neur1 | how do i edit a file? | 10:54 |
TheSheep | neur1: what kind of file? | 10:57 |
neur1 | umm . . . this one "/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default" | 10:58 |
TheSheep | sudo mousepad /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default | 10:59 |
TheSheep | legoman: looks like your X crashed, there was a bug in terminal that made it crash on some graphic cards | 11:00 |
neur1 | thanks TheSheep :) | 11:00 |
TheSheep | legoman: setting the color depth to 16 bpp or using a different terminal emulator (like gnome-terminal) were the recommended workarounds | 11:00 |
legoman | oki, I need to try that, thank you | 11:01 |
scizzo- | hmmm a bit strange that my machine is causing blender to be dodgy | 11:05 |
scizzo- | since its a 2gb memory, dual core machine | 11:06 |

PuppyLinus | anyone know how to change the screen res in xubuntu? | 12:27 |
TheSheep | PuppyLinus: settings->display settings | 12:28 |
PuppyLinus | it doesnt have the resolution i want. i have a widescreen monitor and i want a res of 1440x900 | 12:30 |
PuppyLinus | no matter how many times a change my xorg.conf i dont get any other choices in display settings. alwaus the same thre alternatives 1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480, and i dont even have those listed in xorg.conf. | 12:32 |
scizzo- | PuppyLinus: can you place your xorg.conf in pastebin and give us the link please? | 12:34 |
PuppyLinus | http://pastebin.com/d24d9f9df | 12:36 |
scizzo- | PuppyLinus: using dual monitors? | 12:38 |
PuppyLinus | not right now. just trying to get the one working properly. | 12:38 |
PuppyLinus | have i left any dual monitor settings in my conf_ | 12:39 |
scizzo- | PuppyLinus: try to comment out the line that says: | 12:39 |
scizzo- | Modeline "1280x800_60.00" 83.46 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828 -HSync +Vsync | 12:39 |
PuppyLinus | do you know any trick the apply the change without having to restart x_ | 12:40 |
scizzo- | PuppyLinus: nope | 12:40 |
scizzo- | PuppyLinus: you have to restart X | 12:40 |
PuppyLinus | ok.. brb | 12:40 |
PuppyLinus | back | 12:42 |
PuppyLinus | and, no. didnt work | 12:42 |
scizzo- | hmm | 12:42 |
scizzo- | I don't belive that the Section "Screen" is needed | 12:44 |
PuppyLinus | just remove Section "Screen"... ... EndSection? | 12:45 |
scizzo- | PuppyLinus: no | 12:46 |
scizzo- | PuppyLinus: that might do other problems....saw that the allmän skärm is linked to it for some reason | 12:46 |
PuppyLinus | generated that way by sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 12:46 |
scizzo- | PuppyLinus: you know what the resolution is now that you have? | 12:48 |
PuppyLinus | 1280x1024 | 12:48 |
scizzo- | o.O | 12:48 |
scizzo- | TheSheep: any ideas? | 12:49 |
scizzo- | PuppyLinus: try to see if the resolution has been tried to start in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 12:51 |
scizzo- | PuppyLinus: if there is a error or something | 12:51 |
PuppyLinus | ok | 12:52 |
PuppyLinus | what am i looking for_ | 12:53 |

crazy2k | Hello. I'm having trouble with xubuntu. I booted from the CD (the md5sum says it's alright) but after starting XFCE I'm not able to move the pointer nor use the menus. The computer doesn't freeze. It's like a X issue, because I can use the terminal if I press ctrl+alt+backspace. | 15:33 |
crazy2k | I tried with the "safe mode" also, but it told me something like "the graphics server has been shutdown 6 times already; it seems that something is wrong". | 15:34 |
crazy2k | Don't know what else to do. The computer seems to satisfy the requirements. It's an AMD K6-2 500Mhz, 320 MB RAM. | 15:35 |
scizzo- | only get problems moving the mouse? | 15:36 |
crazy2k | scizzo-: Uhmm, the screen looks a bit weird. | 15:36 |
crazy2k | scizzo-: And I don't know how to open a menu or something in xfce without the mouse. | 15:36 |
crazy2k | scizzo-: But yes, the screen looks weird too. | 15:37 |
crazy2k | With some strange lines and a bit fuzzy. | 15:37 |
scizzo- | sounds like a strange setup in xorg | 15:38 |
crazy2k | scizzo-: Yeap. Maybe I should attempt to modify LiveCD's xorg.conf? | 15:39 |
scizzo- | its on a liveCD? | 15:39 |
crazy2k | But I don't quite know what's wrong with it. | 15:40 |
scizzo- | hmm | 15:41 |
scizzo- | is this a usb mouse? | 15:41 |
crazy2k | scizzo-: No. | 15:42 |
pigeon22 | Maybe try reconfiguring xorg with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". You'll need to have some hardware info ready to enter. | 15:46 |
scizzo- | hmm isnt 60hz the standard frequenzy for LCD monitors? | 15:48 |
ciro314 | hello! which packet is needed to let brasero burn audio cds from mp3 ? thanks in advance | 16:40 |
TheSheep | !mp3 | 16:41 |
ubotu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 16:41 |
ciro314 | i have read that documentation but i am not able to burn audio cds. #sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly but nothing | 16:50 |
TheSheep | :/ | 16:52 |
TheSheep | ciro314: looking at the docs, brasero uses gstreamer, so it should make it work | 16:54 |
TheSheep | ciro314: try installing the lame library maybe ;/ | 16:55 |
ciro314 | ok | 16:55 |
predaeus | ciro314, not sure if it was with brasero, but I burned an audio cd once, and thought it didn't work because it just made noise, but afterwards I discovered it worked fine and was just mounted or something which lead to the error. So how do you know it does not work? | 16:55 |
ciro314 | when adding the mp3 file in a brasero audio cd project it shows an error: cannot handle this filetype try installing the properly gstreamer plugin | 16:57 |
predaeus | ah | 16:57 |

aarivera | good evening everyone | 18:44 |
aarivera | i'd like to know how can i upgrade an xubuntu machine from feisty to gutsy | 18:45 |
crazy2k | Well, tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server" and now X looks a bit better. However, I can't make the pointer move. I tried "cat /dev/(psaux|mice|mouse0)" and none of them show anything when I move the mouse. | 21:12 |
thruxton | crazy2k: it might be /dev/input/mice | 21:13 |
crazy2k | thruxton: That I tried too. :) | 21:15 |
thruxton | ahh | 21:15 |
thruxton | crazy2k: what does xorg.conf use as the mouse driver? `mouse' ? | 21:16 |
crazy2k | thruxton: Yes. | 21:19 |
Rhorse | # | 21:22 |
Rhorse | /msg nickserv set email lkokot@sonic.net | 21:22 |
crazy2k | thruxton: why? | 21:25 |
thruxton | crazy2k: sorry, thats ok, thats correct, I'm not sure then what the solution is | 21:27 |
thruxton | is it a ps/2 mouse or usb? | 21:27 |
thruxton | crazy2k: you've tried another mouse and checked the connection just to rule that stuff out? | 21:28 |
crazy2k | I don't have another mouse. Actually, I do, but it can't be connected to this computer. | 21:29 |
crazy2k | But the connection is okay. It works with win98. | 21:29 |
thruxton | ok | 21:29 |
manchicken | So does anybody know how to make it so that when I click a link in pidgin on desktop 2 the firefox on desktop 1 doesn't move to desktop 2? | 21:31 |

Camish_ | runlevels?! | 22:43 |
Camish_ | I just need to disable gdm in some why | 22:44 |
Camish_ | I think anyway | 22:44 |
thruxton | Camish_: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove | 22:44 |
Camish_ | You mean Applications-system-services and disable gdm? | 22:45 |
thruxton | Camish_: sure, I'm not on ubuntu at the moment, but if that works try it | 22:45 |
Camish_ | Am in need of a fast "network file system" that can be used on the Internet where the speed will be around 20 Mbit/sec. Any recommendations? | 22:47 |

Dan8765_linux | hi | 23:38 |
Dan8765_linux | anyone there? | 23:38 |
zoredache | perhaps, why not ask a question. | 23:39 |
Dan8765_linux | well i got a problem | 23:39 |
Dan8765_linux | i have xp and xubuntu dual boot | 23:39 |
Dan8765_linux | well i had | 23:39 |
Dan8765_linux | anyway, i added another hdd today | 23:39 |
Dan8765_linux | while in xp i set up the partion for the new hdd w/ partion magic | 23:40 |
Dan8765_linux | that went ok | 23:40 |
Dan8765_linux | i rebooted to go back into windows | 23:40 |
Dan8765_linux | now i got a grub error 17 | 23:40 |
Dan8765_linux | what in the world should i do | 23:40 |
Dan8765_linux | ? | 23:41 |
zoredache | does xubuntu boot? | 23:41 |
Dan8765_linux | no | 23:41 |
Dan8765_linux | should i reinstall xubuntu? | 23:42 |
Dan8765_linux | w/ thel ive cd? | 23:42 |
Dan8765_linux | live | 23:42 |
Dan8765_linux | i get no boot prompt | 23:42 |
Dan8765_linux | it doesnt get that far in boot up | 23:43 |
zoredache | well, so what are probably going to need to do is a) try removing the hard drive, b) getting a livecd and seeing if any of your partitions still exist, c) google the grub error... | 23:43 |
Dan8765_linux | i did google grub error | 23:43 |
Dan8765_linux | many many hits for that | 23:43 |
zoredache | and what was the general cause of the error? | 23:43 |
Dan8765_linux | well i seen one that thought fit my situtation | 23:43 |
Dan8765_linux | just to reinstall xbuntu | 23:44 |
Dan8765_linux | but i'm afraid its going to format wrong partition | 23:44 |
zoredache | do you have any important data on your drive? | 23:44 |
Dan8765_linux | how do i know what parttions its going to format | 23:44 |
Dan8765_linux | it gave two | 23:44 |
zoredache | I wouldn't do anything until you have tried two back things up | 23:44 |
Dan8765_linux | yes very much | 23:44 |
Dan8765_linux | on one partition | 23:45 |
Dan8765_linux | i dotn want to lose that data | 23:45 |
Dan8765_linux | its like 80 gigs of data | 23:45 |
Dan8765_linux | i have about 70 of it backed up | 23:45 |
Dan8765_linux | i have not done a back up in a while | 23:45 |
Dan8765_linux | i really would like to keep it intact | 23:45 |
zoredache | Personally I would never run any partitioning or formatting tools on any drives I don't have 100% backed up... | 23:45 |
zoredache | but that is neither here nor their... | 23:46 |
Dan8765_linux | well this is somthing i've done before | 23:46 |
Dan8765_linux | i just am new very new to linux | 23:46 |
Dan8765_linux | installed it the other day | 23:46 |
Dan8765_linux | its linux i believe that has given me this problem | 23:46 |
zoredache | anyway you said things where working before you put the drive it... just disconnect the new drive and see what happens | 23:46 |
Dan8765_linux | i have already | 23:46 |
Dan8765_linux | no help | 23:47 |
Dan8765_linux | i rehooked it up an ran the live cd | 23:47 |
Dan8765_linux | to try and copy the datat of the parttion i want to back up | 23:47 |
Dan8765_linux | it wont mount | 23:47 |
Dan8765_linux | i was gonna dump the partion to thenew hddd | 23:47 |
Dan8765_linux | but thenew hdd wont mount | 23:47 |
Dan8765_linux | anyone know how to list partitions w/ linux? | 23:48 |
Dan8765_linux | what the command is? | 23:48 |
zoredache | fdisk -l | 23:48 |
Dan8765_linux | so when i go and reinstall xubuntu it will tel me what drives its going to format | 23:48 |
Dan8765_linux | ok | 23:49 |
Dan8765_linux | brb | 23:49 |
Dan8765_linux | thx | 23:49 |
zoredache | are you using the livecd, or the altcd... I don't really know anything about the livecd installer, I always use the alt.... | 23:49 |
Dan8765_linux | live | 23:50 |
Dan8765_linux | thats all i have | 23:50 |
Dan8765_linux | dont know ath alt is | 23:50 |
Dan8765_linux | sda6 and sda7 says taht linux | 23:51 |
Dan8765_linux | can i delete that partion w/ the live cd? | 23:51 |
zoredache | the alternate cd is a version of the installer that is menu driven, and doexn't have x11. You have a lot more control about the setup from the alt cd | 23:51 |
Dan8765_linux | i'm just worried if i reinstall xubuntu and every partions has data it will format a partititon i dont want tit too | 23:52 |
Dan8765_linux | well darn i dont have that | 23:52 |
Dan8765_linux | the altcd | 23:52 |
