| castrox | soldats, hah... okay.. default settings was 24 bits of graphics.. changed to 16 bits.. now it's a lot more tolerable. Seems xorg must be loading neomagic dynamically (as the .so suggests..). I have no idea really.. seems to me it SHOULD show in lsmod but doesn't.. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| soldats | ahh yea the bit has a lot to do with it, i totally spaced it. even my desktop wont run with 24 bit i had to switch to 16 bit | 00:01 |
| castrox | well i guess you'd need to replace some binary file holding the graphics used at boot.. | 00:01 |
| Ryuki | g2g | 00:04 |
| soldats | true that should work | 00:06 |
| soldats | brb, band practice | 00:06 |
| castrox | heading for bed.. thanks again | 00:06 |
| aro | it seems like 7.10 is a lot slower to boot / use than 7.04 | 01:26 |
| aro | i used to be able to install with normal graphics enabled, now i have to boot the live cd in safe graphics mode | 01:26 |

| evil_tech | ping | 06:11 |
| soldats | pong | 06:20 |
| evil_tech | this is probably a dumb question but why cant you put /home on a seperate drive? | 06:21 |
| The-Kernel | evil_tech you can, and I do it all the time | 06:21 |
| The-Kernel | actually I have /home on a separate "machine" | 06:22 |
| evil_tech | whenever I've tried it tells me the /home must be located on the same drive | 06:22 |
| evil_tech | must have done something wrong | 06:22 |
| The-Kernel | weird | 06:28 |
| The-Kernel | you're doing it wrong | 06:28 |
| evil_tech | probably | 06:28 |
| evil_tech | considering the system isnt even booting right now | 06:29 |
| evil_tech | must not like my controller card | 06:29 |
| evil_tech | which doesnt make sense since the installer could see it | 06:30 |
| evil_tech | ok so grub said it was starting up and loading then it dropped to a busybox shell | 06:32 |
| evil_tech | after giving this error: Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices : cat /proc/modules ls /dev | 06:33 |
| evil_tech | Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/ does not exitst dropping to a shell | 06:34 |
| evil_tech | any idea? | 06:34 |

| TheSheep | redl: brasero | 16:54 |
| redl | =\ | 16:54 |
| TheSheep | dapper had xfburn | 16:54 |
| evil_tech | xfburn was bad | 16:55 |
| TheSheep | evil_tech: there is still no perfect one | 16:55 |
| evil_tech | brasero at least kinda works, xfburn would crash my system | 16:56 |
| evil_tech | ended up having to use gnomebaker | 16:56 |
| redl | but it pulls gnome-libs =\ | 16:57 |
| TheSheep | redl: but you don't have to have it running all the time | 16:57 |
| redl | i don't wanna emerge gnome-libs | 16:58 |

| wsguede | hello? | 20:27 |
| wsguede | can some one help me? | 20:29 |
| wsguede | anyone? | 20:29 |
| wsguede | is anyone alive? | 20:29 |
| TheSheep | !ask wsguede | 20:33 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ask wsguede - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:33 |
| TheSheep | !ask | wsguede | 20:33 |
| ubotu | wsguede: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 20:33 |
| wsguede | ok so I installed xubuntu (via alternate cd because the normal one didn't work for some reason) and at the end of the install it hangs on "gathering install information..." @ 85%... so I figured all is probably ok to boot. I hard booted the computer, and then it loads grub 1.5... now it brings up a cmd prompt type deally and I can't load up xbuntu | 20:36 |
| TheSheep | wsguede: it wasn't ok | 20:39 |
| TheSheep | wsguede: redo the installation | 20:40 |
| wsguede | thesheep: how long does it normally hang on that part? | 20:40 |
| TheSheep | wsguede: depends on your processor and ram, it can hang permanently if you have less than 96 mb of ram | 20:41 |
| wsguede | it says on the site with the alternate cd all i need is 64 mb to install... but I have 256 mb ram. | 20:42 |
| wsguede | thesheep I just need a round about time limit, because I let it sit for like 30 min and nothing happens, this is after I pull out the cd because it makes me | 20:45 |
| TheSheep | weird | 20:45 |
| TheSheep | is there any message before the command prompt? | 20:46 |
| TheSheep | except for the "no job control" one | 20:46 |
| wsguede | there is no "no job control" msg | 20:46 |
| wsguede | it says | 20:46 |
| wsguede | [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB ... blah blah about the use of the tab button...] | 20:46 |
| TheSheep | wsguede: and before that? | 20:47 |
| wsguede | loading grub... | 20:48 |
| TheSheep | wsguede: this is an emergency shell that's packed together with the kernel, it means basically that kernel failed to mount the root filesystem for some reason | 20:48 |
| TheSheep | wsguede: you can see some more messgaes by switching to a different console, with alt+f1, f2, etc. | 20:49 |
| wsguede | thesheep ??? | 20:50 |
| TheSheep | wsguede: ah, sorry, that's after it boots | 20:53 |
| TheSheep | wsguede: not if it failed at this stage | 20:53 |
| TheSheep | wsguede: did you use any boot options to boot the alternate cd, or did you just press eneter? | 20:54 |
| wsguede | what do you mean? | 20:54 |
| TheSheep | wsguede: did you have to press f6 and add any boot options for the kernel, or did it just boot out of the box? | 20:55 |
| wsguede | box | 20:55 |
| wsguede | do you type my name every time? or is there a short cut to type to the last person you typed to? | 20:56 |
| TheSheep | few first letters and then TAB | 20:56 |
| wsguede | TheSheep: o ok | 20:56 |
| wsguede | I like that | 20:56 |
| TheSheep | wsguede: you can try and see if 'repairing grub' will help | 20:57 |
| TheSheep | !grub | wsguede | 20:57 |
| ubotu | wsguede: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 20:57 |
| TheSheep | wsguede: there is an option for that on the alternate cd | 20:57 |
| wsguede | TheSheep: yeah, I tried that the first time I installed it and this happen to me... didn't help much | 20:57 |
| TheSheep | then I'm out of ideas, sorry | 20:58 |
| wsguede | TheSheep: its ok | 20:58 |
| whyking_ | hi | 21:20 |
| whyking_ | I have a pdf here and evince tells me | 21:21 |
| whyking_ | Error: Couldn't create temporary font file | 21:21 |
| whyking_ | some font thing failed | 21:21 |
| whyking_ | pretty specific, huh? | 21:21 |
| whyking_ | what font package could I install to make that go away? | 21:21 |
| whyking_ | i can read it on my other xubuntu machine just fine | 21:21 |
| zoredache | the message seems to suggest that it is trying to create a file, not find something you already have | 21:26 |
| zoredache | is your disk full, do you have rights to /tmp, | 21:27 |

| haxality | hi all | 21:55 |
| haxality | I was wondering how to enable XGL and compiz in Xubuntu 7.10 | 21:55 |
| TheSheep | !compiz | 21:58 |
| ubotu | Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 21:58 |
| haxality | thank you, even though I should have guessed that :) | 21:59 |
| TheSheep | haxality: they are better specialists :) | 21:59 |
| turno | sorry if i missed a response to my question | 22:05 |
| TheSheep | turno: nobody responded, sorry | 22:06 |
| TheSheep | turno: maybe try looking on the forums or the wiki | 22:06 |
| TheSheep | turno: or ask at some other time | 22:07 |
| turno | does xubuntu have a power management configurator? | 22:10 |
| TheSheep | turno: there is settings->setting manager->screensaver... | 22:11 |
| TheSheep | turno: or just run gnome-screensaver-preferences | 22:12 |
| turno | i'm installing gnome-power-manager | 22:16 |
| turno | if it does what i'm looking for, i'm really surprised its not included by default | 22:16 |
| turno | well it doesn't seem to run | 22:18 |
| turno | maybe if i just stop acpid | 22:22 |
| turno | still no luck... i'll post it in here if i find a solution to my problem | 23:14 |
| soldats | turno, so are you trying to make your monitor not power off after 10 minutes | 23:15 |
| turno | mm hmm | 23:15 |
| turno | cause i use it for watching videos on my tv | 23:15 |
| soldats | i take "mm hmm" as a yes | 23:15 |
| turno | yes | 23:15 |
| soldats | ok well i have a simple fix | 23:15 |
| turno | go ahead please | 23:16 |
| turno | i've disabled dpms in my bios, turned power management to never in xfce, disabled the screensaver... | 23:16 |
| soldats | open /etc/X11/xorg.conf and pastebin it and ill add some lines to it and explain them if you need me to | 23:16 |
| soldats | !paste | 23:17 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 23:17 |
| soldats | can you do it | 23:18 |
| turno | http://pastebin.com/d6088c8ff | 23:19 |
| turno | sorry, i was off googling pastebin ;) | 23:19 |
| soldats | http://pastebin.com/d2b3875e7 | 23:21 |
| turno | i see the serverflags you added | 23:22 |
| soldats | the section for "Section ServerFlags" i added some options and other stuff | 23:22 |
| soldats | add the section exactly as i put it or i guess you cpoy paste the whole thing | 23:22 |
| soldats | s/cpoy/copy | 23:22 |
| soldats | the tabs/spaces need to be aligned | 23:23 |
| turno | i have agood feeling about this | 23:23 |
| turno | i just loaded it up and am rebooting now | 23:23 |
| soldats | dont worry i had the same problem | 23:23 |
| soldats | ok | 23:23 |
| soldats | when doing this your screen will never turn off though | 23:23 |
| soldats | you can solve it by hitting the power switch | 23:23 |
| soldats | or | 23:23 |
| soldats | xset dpms force off in a terminal | 23:24 |
| turno | i don't want it to ever turn off | 23:24 |
| turno | its hooked to a tv | 23:24 |
| soldats | ok | 23:24 |
| turno | anything less than 3 hours would interfere with movie watching | 23:24 |
| soldats | well to test dont move the mouse or touch a key for about 12 minutes and let me know | 23:24 |
| turno | i've put together a pretty swanky little media pc now | 23:24 |
| turno | will do | 23:25 |
| turno | its in the next room anyway, all i have to do is not vnc into it | 23:25 |
| soldats | well i meant for at night when its not in use its nice to power down the monitor so "xset dpms force off" in a terminal will turn it off then any mouse movement or keytouch will bring it back up | 23:26 |
| turno | its a traditional tube tv | 23:29 |
| turno | connected with composite cable | 23:29 |
| turno | so the best it could do would be to blank it anyway | 23:29 |
| soldats | ok well just let me know if it works | 23:31 |
| soldats | i tried to get to you right before you left | 23:31 |
| turno | sorry | 23:32 |
| turno | i don't know why i kept closing the window | 23:32 |
| turno | if this works, it should really be on a menu somewhere | 23:33 |
| soldats | yuh true but i guess its the joy of learning. it would be nice if it was implemented as an option but timkering is fun as well | 23:34 |
| turno | so far so good! | 23:35 |
