[00:34] <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
[00:56] <scizzo-> gpxvp: using mirrors from the net?
[00:57] <scizzo-> gpxvp: I mean is it trying to get irssi from disk or cd?
[01:01] <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
[01:02] <gpxvp> i removed the comments now though
[01:03] <gpxvp> didnt help though
[01:04] <gpxvp> or do i need to do something to make the modified .list be used
[01:12] <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
[01:16] <gpxvp> i fixed it by just using the synaptic package manager
[01:17] <gpxvp> but yea apt-get update worked now
[01:18] <scizzo-> ok
[01:18] <scizzo-> well I am off to bed
[01:18] <scizzo-> nn
[03:39] <neur1> anyone using conky?
[05:07] <nikolam> what to do when process is stuck?
[05:08] <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
[05:09] <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.
[05:10] <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
[05:11] <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.
[05:13] <nikolam> Ok, every command I type gets stuck. I need to reboot, CU
[05:13] <nikolam> 10x 2 all
[10:53] <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
[10:54] <neur1> how do i edit a file?
[10:57] <TheSheep> neur1: what kind of file?
[10:58] <neur1> umm . . . this one "/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default"
[10:59] <TheSheep>  sudo mousepad /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default
[11:00] <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
[11:01] <legoman> oki, I need to try that, thank you
[11:05] <scizzo-> hmmm a bit strange that my machine is causing blender to be dodgy
[11:06] <scizzo-> since its a 2gb memory, dual core machine
[11:06] <scizzo-> with 8800GTS graphics card
[12:27] <PuppyLinus> anyone know how to change the screen res in xubuntu?
[12:28] <TheSheep> PuppyLinus: settings->display settings
[12:30] <PuppyLinus> it doesnt have the resolution i want.  i have a widescreen monitor and i want a res of 1440x900
[12:32] <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.
[12:34] <scizzo->  PuppyLinus: can you place your xorg.conf in pastebin and give us the link please?
[12:36] <PuppyLinus> http://pastebin.com/d24d9f9df
[12:38] <scizzo-> PuppyLinus: using dual monitors?
[12:38] <PuppyLinus> not right now. just trying to get the one working properly.
[12:39] <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
[12:40] <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
[12:42] <PuppyLinus> back
[12:42] <PuppyLinus> and, no. didnt work
[12:42] <scizzo-> hmm
[12:44] <scizzo-> I don't belive that the Section "Screen" is needed
[12:45] <PuppyLinus> just remove Section "Screen"... ... EndSection?
[12:46] <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
[12:48] <scizzo-> PuppyLinus: you know what the resolution is now that you have?
[12:48] <PuppyLinus> 1280x1024
[12:48] <scizzo-> o.O
[12:49] <scizzo-> TheSheep: any ideas?
[12:51] <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
[12:52] <PuppyLinus> ok
[12:53] <PuppyLinus> what am i looking for_

[12:54] <PuppyLinus> (II) I810(0): 	CRT
[12:55] <PuppyLinus> that doesnt seem right
[12:56] <scizzo-> hmmm
[12:56] <scizzo-> did you do the config when both screens where connected?
[12:58] <PuppyLinus> no. dont think there should be any trace of the dual screens left. it was a while back.

[15:03] <bjxrnsxrn> 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] <bjxrnsxrn> would anybody know why ?:)
[15:33] <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.
[15:34] <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".
[15:35] <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.
[15:36] <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.
[15:37] <crazy2k> scizzo-: But yes, the screen looks weird too.
[15:37] <crazy2k> With some strange lines and a bit fuzzy.
[15:38] <scizzo-> sounds like a strange setup in xorg
[15:39] <crazy2k> scizzo-: Yeap. Maybe I should attempt to modify LiveCD's xorg.conf?
[15:39] <scizzo-> its on a liveCD?
[15:40] <crazy2k> But I don't quite know what's wrong with it.
[15:41] <scizzo-> hmm
[15:41] <scizzo-> is this a usb mouse?
[15:42] <crazy2k> scizzo-: No.
[15:46] <pigeon22> Maybe try reconfiguring xorg with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". You'll need to have some hardware info ready to enter.
[15:48] <scizzo-> hmm isnt 60hz the standard frequenzy for LCD monitors?
[16:40] <ciro314> hello! which packet is needed to let brasero burn audio cds from mp3 ? thanks in advance
[16:41] <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
[16:50] <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
[16:52] <TheSheep> :/
[16:54] <TheSheep> ciro314: looking at the docs, brasero uses gstreamer, so it should make it work
[16:55] <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?
[16:57] <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
[17:11] <leonardo> olá...

[18:44] <aarivera> good evening everyone
[18:45] <aarivera> i'd like to know how can i upgrade an xubuntu machine from feisty to gutsy
[21:12] <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.
[21:13] <thruxton> crazy2k: it might be /dev/input/mice
[21:15] <crazy2k> thruxton: That I tried too.  :)
[21:15] <thruxton> ahh
[21:16] <thruxton> crazy2k: what does xorg.conf use as the mouse driver? `mouse' ?
[21:19] <crazy2k> thruxton: Yes.
[21:22] <Rhorse> #
[21:22] <Rhorse>     /msg nickserv set email lkokot@sonic.net
[21:25] <crazy2k> thruxton: why?
[21:27] <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?
[21:28] <thruxton> crazy2k: you've tried another mouse and checked the connection just to rule that stuff out?
[21:29] <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
[21:31] <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?
[22:21] <Camish_> How do I make xfce not to autostart?
[22:21] <Camish_> I would like to write in the console, startxfce4 if I want to start it.
[22:39] <evil_tech> xubuntu is running dog slow. any known issues with it and asus boards?
[22:40] <Catoptromancy> !top
[22:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about top - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:40] <Camish_> How do I make xfce not to autostart?
[22:40] <evil_tech> i cant even get it to that point
[22:40] <Camish_> I would like to write in the console, startxfce4 if I want to start it.
[22:42] <Catoptromancy> !runlevels
[22:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevels - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:43] <Camish_> runlevels?!
[22:44] <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
[22:45] <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
[22:47] <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?

[23:38] <Dan8765_linux> hi
[23:38] <Dan8765_linux> anyone there?
[23:39] <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
[23:40] <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
[23:41] <Dan8765_linux> ?
[23:41] <zoredache> does xubuntu boot?
[23:41] <Dan8765_linux> no
[23:42] <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
[23:43] <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
[23:44] <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
[23:45] <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...
[23:46] <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
[23:47] <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
[23:48] <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
[23:49] <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....
[23:50] <Dan8765_linux> live
[23:50] <Dan8765_linux> thats all i have
[23:50] <Dan8765_linux> dont know ath alt is
[23:51] <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
[23:52] <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] <Dan8765_linux> i guess i could down load it somewhere
