gpxvpSo 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 =D00:34
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
gpxvphmm01:01
gpxvpi think it's trying to get it from disk/cd01:01
gpxvpby a tip from someone else i checked my sources.list and everything was commented out01:01
gpxvpi removed the comments now though01:02
gpxvpdidnt help though01:03
gpxvpor do i need to do something to make the modified .list be used01:04
scizzo-gpxvp: did you comment out the cdrom one?01:12
scizzo-and then ran: sudo apt-get update01:12
scizzo-apt-cache search irssi01:12
gpxvpi fixed it by just using the synaptic package manager01:16
gpxvpbut yea apt-get update worked now01:17
scizzo-ok01:18
scizzo-well I am off to bed01:18
scizzo-nn01:18
neur1anyone using conky?03:39
nikolamwhat to do when process is stuck?05:07
somerville32nikolam, kill it :)05:08
nikolamFor example, i tried to fix that Nasty UUID mess in /etc/fstab05:08
nikolamAnd started sudo vol_id /dev/sda105:08
somerville32sudo killall vol_id05:08
nikolamNow I have a bunch of dead vol_id`s05:08
nikolamIt wont die05:08
somerville32use code 905:09
soldatsor pgrep "process" and then kill the PID it says it is05:09
nikolameven sudo kill -9 wont work05:09
somerville32nikolam, reboot then05:09
nikolamps -A | grep vol_id05:09
nikolamAh,, same like windblows.05:09
nikolamI tried to fix issue with Ctrl+D needded to press while rebooting..05:10
somerville32and why exactly is /etc/fstab a mess?05:10
nikolamWhy we have UUID`s in /etc/fstab, anyway? To make machine useless every time i format some partition? :I05:10
somerville32no05:11
somerville32!uuid | nikolam05:11
ubotunikolam: 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
nikolamIt happens just like that, every time. Wont boot till i press Ctrl+d05:11
somerville32nikolam, Yea, I think I saw your bug report in my mailbox.05:11
nikolamOk, every command I type gets stuck. I need to reboot, CU05:13
nikolam10x 2 all05:13
legomanI 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 screen10:53
neur1how do i edit a file?10:54
TheSheepneur1: what kind of file?10:57
neur1umm . . . this one "/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default"10:58
TheSheep sudo mousepad /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default10:59
TheSheeplegoman: looks like your X crashed, there was a bug in terminal that made it crash on some graphic cards11:00
neur1thanks TheSheep :)11:00
TheSheeplegoman: setting the color depth to 16 bpp or using a different terminal emulator (like gnome-terminal) were the recommended workarounds11:00
legomanoki, I need to try that, thank you11:01
scizzo-hmmm a bit strange that my machine is causing blender to be dodgy11:05
scizzo-since its a 2gb memory, dual core machine11:06
scizzo-with 8800GTS graphics card11:06

PuppyLinusno 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
PuppyLinushttp://pastebin.com/d24d9f9df12:36
scizzo-PuppyLinus: using dual monitors?12:38
PuppyLinusnot right now. just trying to get the one working properly.12:38

PuppyLinusjust remove Section "Screen"... ... EndSection?12:45
scizzo-PuppyLinus: no12:46
scizzo-PuppyLinus: that might do other problems....saw that the allmän skärm is linked to it for some reason12:46

scizzo-PuppyLinus: you know what the resolution is now that you have?12:48
PuppyLinus1280x102412:48

bjxrnsxrnwould anybody know why ?:)15:05
crazy2kHello. 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
crazy2kI 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
crazy2kDon'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
crazy2kscizzo-: Uhmm, the screen looks a bit weird.15:36
crazy2kscizzo-: And I don't know how to open a menu or something in xfce without the mouse.15:36
crazy2kscizzo-: But yes, the screen looks weird too.15:37
crazy2kWith some strange lines and a bit fuzzy.15:37
scizzo-sounds like a strange setup in xorg15:38
crazy2kscizzo-: Yeap. Maybe I should attempt to modify LiveCD's xorg.conf?15:39
scizzo-its on a liveCD?15:39
crazy2kBut I don't quite know what's wrong with it.15:40
scizzo-hmm15:41
scizzo-is this a usb mouse?15:41
crazy2kscizzo-: No.15:42
pigeon22Maybe 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
ciro314hello! which packet is needed to let brasero burn audio cds from mp3 ? thanks in advance16:40
TheSheep!mp316:41
ubotuFor 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/FreeFormats16:41
ciro314i have read that documentation but i am not able to burn audio cds. #sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly but nothing16:50
TheSheep:/16:52
TheSheepciro314: looking at the docs, brasero uses gstreamer, so it should make it work16:54
TheSheepciro314: try installing the lame library maybe ;/16:55
ciro314ok16:55
predaeusciro314, 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
ciro314when adding the mp3 file in a brasero audio cd project it shows an error: cannot handle this filetype try installing the properly gstreamer plugin16:57

aariveragood evening everyone18:44
aariverai'd like to know how can i upgrade an xubuntu machine from feisty to gutsy18:45
crazy2kWell, 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
thruxtoncrazy2k: it might be /dev/input/mice21:13
crazy2kthruxton: That I tried too.  :)21:15
thruxtonahh21:15
thruxtoncrazy2k: what does xorg.conf use as the mouse driver? `mouse' ?21:16

Rhorse#21:22
Rhorse    /msg nickserv set email lkokot@sonic.net21:22
crazy2kthruxton: why?21:25
thruxtoncrazy2k: sorry, thats ok, thats correct, I'm not sure then what the solution is21:27
thruxtonis it a ps/2 mouse or usb?21:27
thruxtoncrazy2k: you've tried another mouse and checked the connection just to rule that stuff out?21:28
crazy2kI don't have another mouse. Actually, I do, but it can't be connected to this computer.21:29
crazy2kBut the connection is okay. It works with win98.21:29

Dan8765_linuxi get no boot prompt23:42
Dan8765_linuxit doesnt get that far in boot up23:43
zoredachewell, 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_linuxi did google grub error23:43
Dan8765_linuxmany many hits for that23:43
zoredacheand what was the general cause of the error?23:43
Dan8765_linuxwell i seen one that thought fit my situtation23:43
Dan8765_linuxjust to reinstall xbuntu23:44
Dan8765_linuxbut i'm afraid its going to format wrong partition23:44
zoredachedo  you have any important data on your drive?23:44
Dan8765_linuxhow do i know what parttions its going to format23:44
Dan8765_linuxit gave two23:44
zoredacheI wouldn't do anything until you have tried two back things up23:44
Dan8765_linuxyes very much23:44
Dan8765_linuxon one partition23:45
Dan8765_linuxi dotn want to lose that data23:45
Dan8765_linuxits like 80 gigs of data23:45
Dan8765_linuxi have about 70 of it backed up23:45
Dan8765_linuxi have not done a back up in a while23:45
Dan8765_linuxi really would like to keep it intact23:45
zoredachePersonally I would never run any partitioning or formatting tools on any drives I don't have 100% backed up...23:45
zoredachebut that is neither here nor their...23:46
Dan8765_linuxwell this is somthing i've done before23:46
Dan8765_linuxi just am new very new to linux23:46
Dan8765_linuxinstalled it the other day23:46
Dan8765_linuxits linux i believe that has given me this problem23:46
zoredacheanyway you said things where working before you put the drive it... just disconnect the new drive and see what happens23:46
Dan8765_linuxi have already23:46
Dan8765_linuxno help23:47
Dan8765_linuxi rehooked it up an ran the live cd23:47

Dan8765_linuxbut thenew hdd wont mount23:47
Dan8765_linuxanyone know how to list partitions w/ linux?23:48
Dan8765_linuxwhat the command is?23:48

Dan8765_linuxso when i go and reinstall xubuntu it will tel me what drives its going to format23:48
Dan8765_linuxok23:49
Dan8765_linuxbrb23:49
Dan8765_linuxthx23:49
zoredacheare 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_linuxlive23:50
Dan8765_linuxthats all i have23:50
Dan8765_linuxdont know ath alt is23:50
Dan8765_linuxsda6 and sda7 says taht linux23:51
Dan8765_linuxcan i delete that partion w/ the live cd?23:51
zoredachethe 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 cd23:51
Dan8765_linuxi'm just worried if i reinstall xubuntu and every partions has data it will format a partititon i dont want tit too23:52
Dan8765_linuxwell darn i dont have that23:52
