| RFMaster78 | Hi everyone | 00:09 |
|---|---|---|
| RFMaster78 | is there someone here that can help me with some problem that I have with a problem that I have with the kernel-2.6.22-14-generic | 00:10 |
| zoredache | RFMaster78: just ask your question. If someone knows the answer and is available they will answer | 00:11 |
| RFMaster78 | ok, thanks! | 00:11 |
| RFMaster78 | the problem that I have is that when I boot with the kernel-2.6.22-14-generic it never finishes loading | 00:22 |
| RFMaster78 | it shows in the screen [xxx.xxxxxxx] ata1: soft resetting port | 00:23 |
| RFMaster78 | ata1.00: configured for PIO0 | 00:23 |
| RFMaster78 | ata1.01: configured for UDMA/25 | 00:24 |

| AzMoo | Hey, does anybody know anything about ltsp? When I run ltsp-build-client with my mirrors, it works to begin with, but then later on it fails with a 404 in the repository. It looks to be adding an extra "ubuntu/" to the end of the url | 00:26 |
| RFMaster78 | and all this sort of things (sorry it's not very much, but since it never finnished loading I couldn't get a dmesg) | 00:26 |
| RFMaster78 | I have googled it everywhere but I couldn't find anyone with similar problems, so I have no idea what could it be | 00:27 |
| zoredache | well I would make a random guess and suggest that the kernel doesn't like your ide controler since that is the last message displayed... I don't have any idea how to fix it though. You might try a different kernel. Either something newer or older... | 00:29 |
| RFMaster78 | yes, I guessed that it had to do with the IDE, but I can seem to make it work, I'm currently using the 2.6.20-16-generic kernel, but I really would like to know how to fix it since I don't want to be left behind in the kernel race... haha | 00:33 |
| RFMaster78 | thanks for your help zoredache | 00:34 |

| Wyrmul | Hi there. I recently edited my /etc/fstab to prevent my windows partitions from mounting on boot. Now I cannot get them to mount at all. When I try to mount them in the thunar file manager I get two popup errors. One is unknown error, and the second is do not have privilege to mount | 06:39 |
| Wyrmul | any Ideas where I can go from here? | 06:39 |
| evil_tech | ok i installed xubuntu and it goes to load grub and stops at: Grub loading, please wait... | 06:45 |
| evil_tech | ideas? | 06:45 |
| Wyrmul | never mind. figured it out. Is there any way to give a user account the ability to mount and unmount drives in thunar? | 06:49 |
| Wyrmul | Anything? yes? no? lobster? | 06:51 |
| evil_tech | im sure there is a way | 06:51 |
| evil_tech | but i dont know | 06:51 |
| evil_tech | i think there is a group you can put them in to do it | 06:51 |
| Wyrmul | As am I but. grr. and sorry to hear about grub not working. I bearly know how to use it myself | 06:51 |
| moontiger | is there any error message from grub? | 06:53 |
| evil_tech | nope | 06:53 |
| evil_tech | just sits there | 06:53 |
| moontiger | as for permissions to mount a drive ... that should be automatic ... any error message? | 06:53 |
| evil_tech | i am assuming it doesnt like the controller its plugged in to | 06:53 |
| moontiger | hmmmmmm if grub has any errors it usually complains loudly | 06:53 |
| moontiger | that would do it too ... have you booted from it before? | 06:54 |
| evil_tech | no its a fresh install | 06:54 |
| moontiger | what drive controller is it? | 06:54 |
| evil_tech | IT8212 | 06:54 |
| moontiger | scsi? | 06:54 |
| evil_tech | IDE plugged into a PCI slot | 06:55 |
| moontiger | hmmmmmmmmm its probably some irq conflict with the controller in that slot | 06:55 |
| moontiger | try it in another slot | 06:55 |
| moontiger | have u booted from the live cd? | 06:55 |
| evil_tech | computer boots to vista fine though | 06:55 |
| moontiger | yah vista might be ok with it | 06:56 |
| evil_tech | not to mention the live installer had no probs | 06:56 |
| evil_tech | brb go move it up one | 06:56 |
| evil_tech | hmm nope same thing | 06:58 |

| nanbudh | hello friends | 16:35 |
| nanbudh | i just installed xubuntu 7.10 on a P III machine. The installation went fine but the serial mouse is not working. Could it be that xubuntu does not support a serial mouse? | 16:37 |
| TheSheep | nanbudh: it does, but serial mouse cannot be autodetected | 16:40 |
| TheSheep | nanbudh: run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and tell it where your serial mouse it | 16:40 |
| nanbudh | TheSheep: it is at serial port so what would it be? ttyS0 or something? (i donot know linux internals much) | 16:43 |
| TheSheep | yes | 16:46 |
| TheSheep | ttyS0 | 16:46 |
| TheSheep | if it's com1 | 16:46 |
| TheSheep | ttyS1 if it's com2 | 16:46 |
| nanbudh | TheSheep: thanks. and one more thing. on xubuntu forums some ppl talk about altering the xorg.conf file. is it the same as running dpkg -reconfigure? | 16:49 |
| TheSheep | yes | 16:50 |
| nanbudh | TheSheep: thanks a lot | 16:52 |
| === XwarlokX82 is now known as X|Away | ||
| nanbudh | i just found that vim is quite different from gedit(in ubuntu). is there any other editor i can run in graphical mode to edit xorg.conf file? | 17:23 |
| zoredache | there are editors if you want to install them. I realli like scite | 17:25 |
| === X|Away is now known as XwarlokX82 | ||
| jessejazza | think there are 750 you can choose from | 17:27 |
| nanbudh | :-) actually my serial mouse is not working and i am not much used to linux things(got used to Gnome GUI). I used gedit in ubuntu. What shall i type in command line interface that will bring up a simple graphical editor? | 17:29 |
| zoredache | if you wanted you could just do a sudo apt-get install gedit and use that, since it sounds like you are comfortable with using it | 17:30 |
| nanbudh | i am on a different machine. the faulty one is a P III and unfortunately for the moment internet access is not available on that. | 17:31 |
| TheSheep | nanbudh: nano is text-mode traditional editor | 17:32 |
| TheSheep | nanbudh: mousepad is the default xubuntu replacement for gedit | 17:32 |
| nanbudh | ah mousepad. okay thanks | 17:32 |
| nanbudh | another thing how do i force xorg.conf to be read without needing to reboot? | 17:36 |
| somerville32 | nanbudh, restart the x-server | 17:36 |
| nanbudh | whats the command for that? | 17:36 |
| nanbudh | i got it. thanks | 17:37 |
| nanbudh | i got the serial mouse working. it figures that besides changing the port from com* to ttyS1 i also had to change the mode from "Auto" to "Microsoft" | 17:42 |

| spr | hi all, what tool I shoud use to transfer files via Bluetooth? | 18:52 |
| maxi_ | hi | 19:16 |
| maxi_ | hi, I have a question | 19:21 |
| maxi_ | i recently install xubuntu 7.10 | 19:21 |
| maxi_ | but, never ask an user name and password in the installation | 19:22 |
| zoredache | and? | 19:23 |
| maxi_ | now, when I boot the system, a login form ask me username and password | 19:23 |
| zoredache | try ubuntu and no password? | 19:23 |
| maxi_ | yes, I tried but this not work | 19:24 |
| zoredache | it is unusual that you weren't asked though. Are you certain you didn't miss something or click through a screen too fast? | 19:24 |
| maxi_ | I use alternate CD for install | 19:24 |
| maxi_ | and text mode | 19:24 |
| maxi_ | I don't remember a screen for set user and passwd | 19:25 |
| zoredache | unless you used a preseed file you got asked for the username/password | 19:25 |
| zoredache | anyway try rebooting and when you see the grub prompt pres esc and choose rescue | 19:26 |
| zoredache | it should give you a root shell, from their you can look at the /etc/passwd file and see what users where created and set passwords | 19:27 |
| maxi_ | yes, I add a new user and password from a root shell | 19:29 |
| maxi_ | but I can't login with this | 19:29 |
| tuna | have you set that user to have all the neccessary groups? | 19:29 |
| tuna | I think the following are the standard: | 19:30 |
| zoredache | how did you add a new user? | 19:30 |
| tuna | adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner lpadmin admin netdev powerdev | 19:30 |
| tuna | but, if you want to do it graphically, you can just add a password to root in the recovery console and then login as root | 19:31 |
| tuna | TheSheep: kubuntu installed a gtk engine that was based on qt, it didn't work properly but was ran as default on xubuntu after install. removing it helped | 19:32 |
| maxi_ | ok, I will try this | 19:33 |
| zoredache | a gtk engine that used qt? aren't they mutually exclusive? | 19:33 |
| adamonline45 | Hello! I've got two quick question: One, what's the little circle on the left of every window for? When I click it, it becomes filled, but I dunno what it does... Second, is there a clock screensaver? Preferably not too graphics intensive? | 19:34 |
| thruxton | adamonline45: the circles make the window `sticky', that is to say, it will then appear in every virtual desktop | 19:40 |
| maxi_ | I test change the root password from recovery console and after I tried to login graphically with the root user but this not work | 19:40 |
| adamonline45 | thruxton: Ooh neat! Thank you 8) | 19:41 |
| flox | maxi_: normally there's a security setting to allow login only for UID>1000 | 19:42 |
| flox | using gdmsetup | 19:44 |
| maxi_ | how can I create an user for login into graphical interface ? | 19:44 |
| flox | System/users and group ? | 19:44 |
| flox | maxi_: in the menu | 19:45 |
| maxi_ | yes | 19:45 |
| maxi_ | using recovery console of course | 19:45 |
| flox | ah ok | 19:45 |
| flox | sorry i didn't read all ur messages ;) | 19:46 |
| flox | maxi_: $ man adduser | 19:47 |
| maxi_ | ok, from the beginning | 19:49 |
| maxi_ | I install xubuntu 7.10 using alternate CD and text mode | 19:50 |
| flox | I did the same with 7.04, some time ago | 19:51 |
| flox | u have gdm when your boot normally? | 19:51 |
| maxi_ | never, over the install process, ask me for user name and password | 19:51 |
| flox | ok | 19:51 |
| flox | u have the recovery console? u can use 'adduser' to create a user | 19:52 |
| maxi_ | now, when I boot the system in graphical mode I can't login | 19:52 |
| flox | try $ cat /etc/passwd |grep 1000 | 19:53 |
| maxi_ | yes, I created a new user but I can't login whit this | 19:53 |
| flox | to see if u have a default user | 19:53 |
| flox | you have created using "adduser" ? | 19:53 |
| maxi_ | yes, I have | 19:54 |
| maxi_ | I have a default user | 19:54 |
| maxi_ | I create this before using adduser | 19:54 |
| flox | so, it is strange... | 19:55 |
| flox | it is not related with "numlock" diabled on boot? | 19:55 |
| flox | when you type the password | 19:55 |
| flox | or some error on password? | 19:56 |
| maxi_ | no | 19:56 |
| maxi_ | I try to login with users with numerical passwd and only letters password | 19:57 |
| flox | and u tried in a terminal, too? | 19:59 |
| flox | using "Ctrl+Alt+F2" when u are at the login prompt | 19:59 |
| flox | (use Ctrl+Alt+F7 to come back to GUI) | 20:00 |
| flox | or another test, from the Recovery Console | 20:01 |
| flox | try $ sudo -u username pwd | 20:01 |
| flox | maxi_: just replace username with the name you have created | 20:02 |
| flox | maxi_: have found something on the internet | 20:05 |
| flox | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=313922 | 20:05 |
| maxi_ | ok, but... I don't choice OEM installation, I choice text mode | 20:14 |
| flox | maxi_: and you have the graphical login window asking for username, i guess | 20:15 |
| maxi_ | I tried login pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 at the login prompt | 20:16 |
| maxi_ | and this work fine | 20:16 |
| flox | ah... | 20:16 |
| maxi_ | I can loging using my root account | 20:16 |
| flox | and your other accounts too ? | 20:17 |
| flox | bec root user is not allowed in graphical mode | 20:17 |
| maxi_ | mmm, I will try | 20:17 |
| flox | gdm refuses root user by default | 20:18 |
| maxi_ | no, I can't | 20:19 |
| maxi_ | I can login using the root account only | 20:20 |
| flox | and when you're logged with root | 20:21 |
| flox | what you have with command | 20:21 |
| flox | $ cat /etc/passwd |grep 100 | 20:22 |
| maxi_ | I can see, 4 users | 20:24 |
| maxi_ | dhcp | 20:24 |
| maxi_ | and 3 user which I created before | 20:25 |
| maxi_ | for example | 20:25 |
| maxi_ | maxi:x:1001:0::/home/maxi:/bin/sh | 20:26 |
| flox | they should not have group "o" IMO | 20:28 |
| flox | group 0 i mean | 20:28 |
| flox | try: | 20:29 |
| flox | $ addgroup maxi | 20:29 |
| flox | $ adduser maxi maxi | 20:30 |
| maxi_ | I have other user, | 20:30 |
| maxi_ | adriana:x:1000:1000::/home/adriana:/bin/sh | 20:31 |
| flox | ok this one is better | 20:31 |
| flox | bec group is "adriana", too | 20:31 |
| maxi_ | sorry, this is a question? | 20:33 |
| flox | no | 20:33 |
| flox | what is the error when you try login in console with "adriana" ? | 20:33 |
| flox | "Login incorrect" ? | 20:34 |
| maxi_ | yes | 20:34 |
| zoredache | try resetting the password for adriana (passwd adriana) | 20:34 |
| maxi_ | ok, better | 20:36 |
| maxi_ | now | 20:36 |
| maxi_ | a warning message appear | 20:37 |
| flox | ok | 20:37 |
| maxi_ | your /home directory is listed as: '/home/adriana'but it does not appear to exist | 20:38 |
| flox | maxi_ $ls -la /home | 20:38 |
| maxi_ | Do you want log in with the /root directory as your home directory...... | 20:39 |
| flox | euh... no | 20:39 |
| flox | come back to "root" user | 20:39 |
| flox | and try $ ls -la /home | 20:39 |
| TheSheep | you didn't use the -m flag when running adduser, so the home directory was not created | 20:40 |
| flox | maxi_: better to delete the user and do again an "adduser" | 20:41 |
| maxi_ | I don't remember use the -m flag | 20:41 |
| maxi_ | ok | 20:41 |
| flox | is there's no folders below /home | 20:41 |
| flox | if | 20:41 |
| TheSheep | what are you guys trying to do, btw? | 20:41 |
| flox | TheSheep: AFAIK maxi_ has some problems with "text mode" install of xubuntu 7.10 | 20:43 |
| flox | no user created during install | 20:43 |
| TheSheep | hmm.. this may indicate that the installer was interrupted or crashed somehow and there might be more problems... | 20:44 |
| maxi_ | then, Do I an adduser adriana only ? | 20:44 |
| maxi_ | without parameters? | 20:45 |
| TheSheep | maxi_: useradd -m adriana | 20:46 |
| maxi_ | ok, this work fine | 20:49 |
| maxi_ | I can login now | 20:50 |
| maxi_ | thanks so much | 20:50 |
| TheSheep | now you want to add this user to the adm group | 20:50 |
| TheSheep | to be able to use sudo | 20:50 |
| TheSheep | or was it the admin group :/ | 20:50 |
| TheSheep | you can add it to both | 20:51 |
| TheSheep | adduser adriana admin | 20:51 |
| TheSheep | adduser adriana adm | 20:51 |
| TheSheep | then you can use the system->users and groups tool to add yourself to all the rest of groups you need | 20:52 |
| maxi_ | I can log me in bue, I agree with TheSheep, the instalation is corrupt because I have other problems too | 21:13 |
| TheSheep | maxi_: try running 'apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' as root | 21:14 |
| maxi_ | for instance, I haven't internet connection, | 21:14 |
| maxi_ | but, is possible run apt-get install without internet connection ? | 21:17 |
| TheSheep | possible but not really useful :) | 21:17 |
| TheSheep | it has the cd as a source by default | 21:17 |
| maxi_ | ah, ok | 21:19 |
| maxi_ | remember, I have the alternate CD distribution | 21:20 |
| TheSheep | we can try to enable the network first | 21:21 |
| TheSheep | just go to system->networking | 21:21 |
| TheSheep | you have a 'wired connection' entry in there? | 21:22 |
| maxi_ | ok, I have internet working now | 21:29 |
| adamonline45 | What can I do to make my machine run faster? I'm on a pentium 2, and it seems to be a bit more sluggish than I expected... Also, is there a thin web browser for xubuntu? | 21:56 |
| flox | adamonline45: fluxbuntu uses kazehakase | 21:58 |
| flox | gecko based, too | 21:58 |
| flox | adamonline45: what is your installed memory? | 21:59 |
| adamonline45 | flox: Oh hi! I have 128 MB... Pretty good for the era, iirc 8) | 22:10 |
| adamonline45 | flox: If something works in Fluxbox, would it work in xfce? Would you mind explaining the significance of being 'gecko based'? | 22:11 |
| Ryuki | hey | 22:11 |
| Ryuki | I have understood the xfce menu editor | 22:11 |
| Ryuki | but I don't understand the link someone showed me | 22:11 |
| flox | adamonline45: sure it works | 22:13 |
| flox | "gecko based" it means it uses same engine as Firefox | 22:13 |
| flox | so web pages should render the same | 22:13 |
| adamonline45 | flox: Oh nice! What makes it run faster/with less overhead then? Is fluxbox/xfce compatibility usually a given? | 22:14 |
| flox | not "compatible" | 22:15 |
| flox | but kazehakase is not dependant of the window manager | 22:15 |
| flox | adamonline45: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=583696 | 22:18 |
| adamonline45 | flox: I see. I foind it in the repos, it says " Kazehakase Web Browser cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type." :) Any other recommendations? | 22:19 |
| Catoptromancy | dillo? | 22:19 |
| adamonline45 | Catoptromancy: me? | 22:20 |
| flox | adamonline45: strange.... what is your version ($ uname -r ) | 22:24 |
| adamonline45 | 2.6.22-14-generic. Do you think if I installed the restricted graphics driver it would load pages faster? It's an NVidia n400 or something with 4MB ram, haha | 22:36 |
| adamonline45 | er, flox: ^^ Sorry, not used to not having sound alerts here | 22:36 |
| flox | maybe it helps | 22:38 |
| adamonline45 | hmm | 22:38 |
| adamonline45 | what do you know about opera? I think I'll give that a shot... | 22:38 |
| flox | opera... don't know | 22:40 |
| flox | u tried 'dillo' ? | 22:40 |
| flox | i recommend 'kazehakase' but i don't know why it does not work on your system | 22:40 |
| flox | opera is bigger | 22:41 |
| thruxton | adamonline45: opera isn't that `light' | 22:41 |
| thruxton | galeon perhaps might be decent, its gtk at least | 22:41 |
| flox | normally you should succeed with installation of kazehakase | 22:42 |
| flox | ... | 22:42 |
| adamonline45 | ahhh, got it... Alright. Wow, in 'top', xorg shows at like 30%... | 22:42 |
| adamonline45 | flox: Well, that was with the GUI package manager. I'll see if I can apt-get it | 22:42 |
| flox | adamonline45: try with restricted drivers , if it helps | 22:44 |
| adamonline45 | I'll do that | 22:44 |
| adamonline45 | Hehheh, I should throw in my old PCI card... GeForce 5800 or something... It would outpower the computer 8) | 22:48 |
| adamonline45 | Dang, this restricted driver severely limits my resolutions... Is there a way to add more resolutions? It was clearly supporting something higher without this driver installed 8) | 23:06 |
| flox | adamonline45: $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 23:07 |
| flox | in a terminal | 23:07 |
| flox | and you accept defaults | 23:07 |
| flox | only the resolution, you select what you need | 23:08 |
| flox | then $ sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart | 23:09 |
| flox | (or reboot) | 23:09 |
| Catoptromancy | cant add more by xorg? | 23:09 |
| soldats | add more what | 23:10 |
| adamonline45 | Haha, man, this isn't good... My display settings in the 'control panel' don't seem to reflect my xorg.conf. I can only choose from 640x480... :) Any ideas? | 23:17 |
| TheSheep | adamonline45: look at /var/log/xog.0.log | 23:19 |
| TheSheep | /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 23:19 |
| adamonline45 | Ahh, interesting... (II) VESA(0): Not using built-in mode "1024x768" (width too large for virtual size) | 23:21 |
| adamonline45 | (II) VESA(0): Not using built-in mode "640x400" (no mode of this name). Anything bigger or smaller yields the respective results... | 23:21 |
| TheSheep | adamonline45: vesa driver is the most generic, slowest fallback driver | 23:23 |
| TheSheep | adamonline45: are you sure there is no driver for your card? | 23:23 |
| TheSheep | adamonline45: what card is it? | 23:24 |
| adamonline45 | TheSheep: There is, it's restricted and I just installed it... It's being detected as an NVidia NV4 riva TNT | 23:25 |
| TheSheep | adamonline45: check in BIOS if there is a setting for how much of your ram is to be used by the graphics card -- some cards don't have their own ram | 23:26 |
| adamonline45 | It seems to have 16MB of its own | 23:27 |
| adamonline45 | TheSheep: I just checked the restricted driver manager, it didn't seem to be enabled, so I enabled it (though I did this before my last reboot). I'm gonna restart and see what happens, I'll check the BIOS while I'm at it 8) | 23:28 |
| adamonline45 | TheSheep: Ahh, it seems to work now! :D I guess I had to restart after installation, then enable the driver and restart again... Either way, it's back to the monitor's native resolution and I can read stuff again 8) Thanks! | 23:33 |
| TheSheep | great | 23:34 |
| adamonline45 | Is there a way to view all open windows on the taskbar, regardless of which workspace they're on? | 23:40 |
| soldats | by using a iconbox or dockbar yes | 23:42 |
| TheSheep | soldats: isn't there an option for the taskbar? | 23:46 |
| TheSheep | there is! | 23:46 |
| TheSheep | adamonline45: just check the 'show tasks from all workspaces' option in its properties | 23:47 |
| soldats | ahh yea but most people want some sort of mac os type thing | 23:47 |
| TheSheep | soldats: like awn? | 23:48 |
| soldats | yuh | 23:50 |
| soldats | never used it and never will but everyone suggests it when this same question is asked | 23:50 |
| TheSheep | nah | 23:50 |
| soldats | but i only suggested a sort of dockbar or iconbox to show open windows | 23:51 |
| TheSheep | personally I just like to have a large pager on the panel, no task list, no iconbox | 23:51 |
| soldats | pagers are nice i like them | 23:51 |
