[00:34] 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 [00:56] gpxvp: using mirrors from the net? [00:57] gpxvp: I mean is it trying to get irssi from disk or cd? [01:01] hmm [01:01] i think it's trying to get it from disk/cd [01:01] by a tip from someone else i checked my sources.list and everything was commented out [01:02] i removed the comments now though [01:03] didnt help though [01:04] or do i need to do something to make the modified .list be used [01:12] gpxvp: did you comment out the cdrom one? [01:12] and then ran: sudo apt-get update [01:12] apt-cache search irssi [01:16] i fixed it by just using the synaptic package manager [01:17] but yea apt-get update worked now [01:18] ok [01:18] well I am off to bed [01:18] nn [03:39] anyone using conky? [05:07] what to do when process is stuck? [05:08] nikolam, kill it :) [05:08] For example, i tried to fix that Nasty UUID mess in /etc/fstab [05:08] And started sudo vol_id /dev/sda1 [05:08] sudo killall vol_id [05:08] Now I have a bunch of dead vol_id`s [05:08] It wont die [05:09] use code 9 [05:09] or pgrep "process" and then kill the PID it says it is [05:09] even sudo kill -9 wont work [05:09] nikolam, reboot then [05:09] ps -A | grep vol_id [05:09] Ah,, same like windblows. [05:10] I tried to fix issue with Ctrl+D needded to press while rebooting.. [05:10] and why exactly is /etc/fstab a mess? [05:10] Why we have UUID`s in /etc/fstab, anyway? To make machine useless every time i format some partition? :I [05:11] no [05:11] !uuid | nikolam [05:11] 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] It happens just like that, every time. Wont boot till i press Ctrl+d [05:11] nikolam, Yea, I think I saw your bug report in my mailbox. [05:13] Ok, every command I type gets stuck. I need to reboot, CU [05:13] 10x 2 all [10:53] 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 [10:54] how do i edit a file? [10:57] neur1: what kind of file? [10:58] umm . . . this one "/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default" [10:59] sudo mousepad /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default [11:00] legoman: looks like your X crashed, there was a bug in terminal that made it crash on some graphic cards [11:00] thanks TheSheep :) [11:00] legoman: setting the color depth to 16 bpp or using a different terminal emulator (like gnome-terminal) were the recommended workarounds [11:01] oki, I need to try that, thank you [11:05] hmmm a bit strange that my machine is causing blender to be dodgy [11:06] since its a 2gb memory, dual core machine [11:06] with 8800GTS graphics card [12:27] anyone know how to change the screen res in xubuntu? [12:28] PuppyLinus: settings->display settings [12:30] it doesnt have the resolution i want. i have a widescreen monitor and i want a res of 1440x900 [12:32] 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. [12:34] PuppyLinus: can you place your xorg.conf in pastebin and give us the link please? [12:36] http://pastebin.com/d24d9f9df [12:38] PuppyLinus: using dual monitors? [12:38] not right now. just trying to get the one working properly. [12:39] have i left any dual monitor settings in my conf_ [12:39] PuppyLinus: try to comment out the line that says: [12:39] Modeline "1280x800_60.00" 83.46 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828 -HSync +Vsync [12:40] do you know any trick the apply the change without having to restart x_ [12:40] PuppyLinus: nope [12:40] PuppyLinus: you have to restart X [12:40] ok.. brb [12:42] back [12:42] and, no. didnt work [12:42] hmm [12:44] I don't belive that the Section "Screen" is needed [12:45] just remove Section "Screen"... ... EndSection? [12:46] PuppyLinus: no [12:46] PuppyLinus: that might do other problems....saw that the allmän skärm is linked to it for some reason [12:46] generated that way by sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [12:48] PuppyLinus: you know what the resolution is now that you have? [12:48] 1280x1024 [12:48] o.O [12:49] TheSheep: any ideas? [12:51] PuppyLinus: try to see if the resolution has been tried to start in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [12:51] PuppyLinus: if there is a error or something [12:52] ok [12:53] what am i looking for_ [12:54] (II) I810(0): Currently active displays on Pipe A: [12:54] (II) I810(0): CRT [12:55] that doesnt seem right [12:56] hmmm [12:56] did you do the config when both screens where connected? [12:58] no. dont think there should be any trace of the dual screens left. it was a while back. [12:58] http://pastebin.com/d60070b77 [12:59] all log info concerning the driver [13:00] PuppyLinus: hmmm does it change when you do Ctrl+Alt++ or - [13:00] ?

[13:06] I don't know the modeline parameters that well I am afraid [13:07] ok.. i'll chack if that makes any difference [13:07] brb [13:09] nope [13:10] same problem [15:03] I've got a little problem, my panels has disappeared and when i click the button 'panel' in settings manager there is no response [15:05] would anybody know why ?:) [15:33] 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. [15:34] 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". [15:35] Don't know what else to do. The computer seems to satisfy the requirements. It's an AMD K6-2 500Mhz, 320 MB RAM. [15:36] only get problems moving the mouse? [15:36] scizzo-: Uhmm, the screen looks a bit weird. [15:36] scizzo-: And I don't know how to open a menu or something in xfce without the mouse. [15:37] scizzo-: But yes, the screen looks weird too. [15:37] With some strange lines and a bit fuzzy. [15:38] sounds like a strange setup in xorg [15:39] scizzo-: Yeap. Maybe I should attempt to modify LiveCD's xorg.conf? [15:39] its on a liveCD? [15:40] But I don't quite know what's wrong with it. [15:41] hmm [15:41] is this a usb mouse? [15:42] scizzo-: No. [15:46] Maybe try reconfiguring xorg with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". You'll need to have some hardware info ready to enter. [15:48] hmm isnt 60hz the standard frequenzy for LCD monitors? [16:40] hello! which packet is needed to let brasero burn audio cds from mp3 ? thanks in advance [16:41] !mp3 [16:41] 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 [16:50] i have read that documentation but i am not able to burn audio cds. #sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly but nothing [16:52] :/ [16:54] ciro314: looking at the docs, brasero uses gstreamer, so it should make it work [16:55] ciro314: try installing the lame library maybe ;/ [16:55] ok [16:55] 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? [16:57] 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] ah [17:11] olá...

[18:32] does anyone here can help me? [18:33] ? [18:44] good evening everyone [18:45] i'd like to know how can i upgrade an xubuntu machine from feisty to gutsy [21:12] 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. [21:13] crazy2k: it might be /dev/input/mice [21:15] thruxton: That I tried too. :) [21:15] ahh [21:16] crazy2k: what does xorg.conf use as the mouse driver? `mouse' ? [21:19] thruxton: Yes. [21:22] # [21:22] /msg nickserv set email lkokot@sonic.net [21:25] thruxton: why? [21:27] crazy2k: sorry, thats ok, thats correct, I'm not sure then what the solution is [21:27] is it a ps/2 mouse or usb? [21:28] crazy2k: you've tried another mouse and checked the connection just to rule that stuff out? [21:29] I don't have another mouse. Actually, I do, but it can't be connected to this computer. [21:29] But the connection is okay. It works with win98. [21:29] ok [21:31] 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? [22:21] How do I make xfce not to autostart? [22:21] I would like to write in the console, startxfce4 if I want to start it. [22:39] xubuntu is running dog slow. any known issues with it and asus boards? [22:40] !top [22:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about top - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:40] How do I make xfce not to autostart? [22:40] i cant even get it to that point [22:40] I would like to write in the console, startxfce4 if I want to start it. [22:42] !runlevels [22:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevels - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:43] runlevels?! [22:44] I just need to disable gdm in some why [22:44] I think anyway [22:44] Camish_: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove [22:45] You mean Applications-system-services and disable gdm? [22:45] Camish_: sure, I'm not on ubuntu at the moment, but if that works try it [22:47] 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? [22:58] http [23:08] hello, i hve just intstalled xubuntu gutsy on a sony laptop but the fan doesn,t stop. anyone can help? [23:08] What's the fan? [23:11] Hi [23:12] I removed program xscreensaver, but my problem persists [23:13] when I close the panel, it become black and my portatil don't works, and only return work when I close sistem at force [23:17] the coolong device. it goes constantly now [23:18] that,s what i mean by the fan [23:18] cooling [23:18] sorry about the typos... [23:38] hi [23:38] anyone there? [23:39] perhaps, why not ask a question. [23:39] well i got a problem [23:39] i have xp and xubuntu dual boot [23:39] well i had [23:39] anyway, i added another hdd today [23:40] while in xp i set up the partion for the new hdd w/ partion magic [23:40] that went ok [23:40] i rebooted to go back into windows [23:40] now i got a grub error 17 [23:40] what in the world should i do [23:41] ? [23:41] does xubuntu boot? [23:41] no [23:42] should i reinstall xubuntu? [23:42] w/ thel ive cd? [23:42] live [23:42] i get no boot prompt [23:43] it doesnt get that far in boot up [23:43] 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] i did google grub error [23:43] many many hits for that [23:43] and what was the general cause of the error? [23:43] well i seen one that thought fit my situtation [23:44] just to reinstall xbuntu [23:44] but i'm afraid its going to format wrong partition [23:44] do you have any important data on your drive? [23:44] how do i know what parttions its going to format [23:44] it gave two [23:44] I wouldn't do anything until you have tried two back things up [23:44] yes very much [23:45] on one partition [23:45] i dotn want to lose that data [23:45] its like 80 gigs of data [23:45] i have about 70 of it backed up [23:45] i have not done a back up in a while [23:45] i really would like to keep it intact [23:45] Personally I would never run any partitioning or formatting tools on any drives I don't have 100% backed up... [23:46] but that is neither here nor their... [23:46] well this is somthing i've done before [23:46] i just am new very new to linux [23:46] installed it the other day [23:46] its linux i believe that has given me this problem [23:46] anyway you said things where working before you put the drive it... just disconnect the new drive and see what happens [23:46] i have already [23:47] no help [23:47] i rehooked it up an ran the live cd [23:47] to try and copy the datat of the parttion i want to back up [23:47] it wont mount [23:47] i was gonna dump the partion to thenew hddd [23:47] but thenew hdd wont mount [23:48] anyone know how to list partitions w/ linux? [23:48] what the command is? [23:48] fdisk -l [23:48] so when i go and reinstall xubuntu it will tel me what drives its going to format [23:49] ok [23:49] brb [23:49] thx [23:49] are you using the livecd, or the altcd... I don't really know anything about the livecd installer, I always use the alt.... [23:50] live [23:50] thats all i have [23:50] dont know ath alt is [23:51] sda6 and sda7 says taht linux [23:51] can i delete that partion w/ the live cd? [23:51] 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 [23:52] 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] well darn i dont have that [23:52] the altcd [23:52] i guess i could down load it somewhere [23:52] from this pc [23:52] do you have your windows xp cd? [23:53] well not acutally that not gonna work [23:53] from this pc [23:53] i'll have to burn the iso [23:53] cant do it from this pc [23:53] no [23:53] no xp [23:53] cd [23:53] i'll just start up the reinstall and see what partions it wasnt to format [23:54] from your xp cd you could do a fixmbr and get windows xp going again... [23:54] if its wrong i'll have to try the manual ....the first tiem ii install i didnt use manyual [23:54] can i fix it would a winboot disk? [23:54] win98 bootdisk [23:55] use that mbr comand [23:55] do you have fdisk.exe on your windows 98 boot disk? [23:55] yes [23:56] you could try booting off that disk and running the command 'fdisk /mbr' [23:56] ok i'll try that [23:56] i have to hook up my floppy drive [23:56] never used it so i removed it [23:56] lol [23:56] brb
