[00:00] <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..
[00:01] <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..
[00:04] <Ryuki> g2g
[00:06] <soldats> true that should work
[00:06] <soldats> brb, band practice
[00:06] <castrox> heading for bed.. thanks again
[01:26] <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
[05:23] <noonan> anyone around?
[05:24] <soldats> lemme check
[05:24] <soldats> i is
[05:25] <soldats> sorry im in a wierd mood
[06:11] <evil_tech> ping
[06:20] <soldats> pong
[06:21] <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
[06:22] <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
[06:28] <The-Kernel> weird
[06:28] <The-Kernel> you're doing it wrong
[06:28] <evil_tech> probably
[06:29] <evil_tech> considering the system isnt even booting right now
[06:29] <evil_tech> must not like my controller card
[06:30] <evil_tech> which doesnt make sense since the installer could see it
[06:32] <evil_tech> ok so grub said it was starting up and loading then it dropped to a busybox shell
[06:33] <evil_tech> after giving this error: Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices : cat /proc/modules ls /dev
[06:34] <evil_tech> Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/ does not exitst dropping to a shell
[06:34] <evil_tech> any idea?

[15:05] <pubo> :9
[15:05] <pubo> :)
[15:06] <somerville32> pubo, #ubuntu for help with gnome
[15:08] <pubo> somerville32, but the samba server is Xubuntu, maybe the problem is on it
[15:09] <somerville32> For support with Samba, see #ubuntu-server
[15:09] <somerville32> *Samba Server
[16:47] <redl> re all
[16:48] <redl> please give me list of applications which are installed in xubuntu
[16:50] <evil_tech> sudo apt-cache pkgnames | less
[16:51] <redl> i don't have it
[16:51] <evil_tech> dont have what
[16:51] <redl> xubuntu installed on my pc
[16:51] <redl> *not

[16:52] <redl> =\
[16:54] <redl> one question: what gui frontend for cd/dvd burning is intalled there
[16:54] <redl> ?
[16:54] <TheSheep> redl: brasero
[16:54] <redl> =\
[16:54] <TheSheep> dapper had xfburn
[16:55] <evil_tech> xfburn was bad
[16:55] <TheSheep> evil_tech: there is still no perfect one
[16:56] <evil_tech> brasero at least kinda works, xfburn would crash my system
[16:56] <evil_tech> ended up having to use gnomebaker
[16:57] <redl> but it pulls gnome-libs =\
[16:57] <TheSheep> redl: but you don't have to have it running all the time
[16:58] <redl> i don't wanna emerge gnome-libs
[16:58] <TheSheep> redl: then don't use it on gentoo
[16:59] <redl> bb
[19:16] <methods[laptop]> how do i install by category ?
[19:18] <zoredache> pardon?
[19:19] <methods[laptop]> like i want to install the entire games section
[19:20] <zoredache> I am not aware of anyway to do that short of a fairly complex command line
[19:53] <Spaggy> I installed mythtv and all of its dependencies by a mistake with apt-get install mythtv. Is there any way I can remove all  of the packages that are now dependant on what's already on my system?
[20:08] <TheSheep> Spaggy: apt-get autoremove
[20:08] <TheSheep> Spaggy: after you have removed mythtv
[20:27] <wsguede> hello?
[20:29] <wsguede> can some one help me?
[20:29] <wsguede> anyone?
[20:29] <wsguede> is anyone alive?
[20:33] <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. :-)
[20:36] <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
[20:39] <TheSheep> wsguede: it wasn't ok
[20:40] <TheSheep> wsguede: redo the installation
[20:40] <wsguede> thesheep: how long does it normally hang on that part?
[20:41] <TheSheep> wsguede: depends on your processor and ram, it can hang permanently if you have less than 96 mb of ram
[20:42] <wsguede> it says on the site with the alternate cd all i need is 64 mb to install... but I have 256 mb ram.
[20:45] <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
[20:46] <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...]
[20:47] <TheSheep> wsguede: and before that?
[20:48] <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
[20:49] <TheSheep> wsguede: you can see some more messgaes by switching to a different console, with alt+f1, f2, etc.
[20:50] <wsguede> thesheep ???
[20:53] <TheSheep> wsguede: ah, sorry, that's after it boots
[20:53] <TheSheep> wsguede: not if it failed at this stage
[20:54] <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?
[20:55] <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
[20:56] <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
[20:57] <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
[20:58] <TheSheep> then I'm out of ideas, sorry
[20:58] <wsguede> TheSheep: its ok
[21:20] <whyking_> hi
[21:21] <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
[21:26] <zoredache> the message seems to suggest that it is trying to create a file, not find something you already have
[21:27] <zoredache> is your disk full, do you have rights to /tmp,
[21:52] <Turno> how do i completely disable the screensaver/monitor powerdown?
[21:53] <Turno> I'm installed on a media pc and theres no kb/mouse, only a remote control
[21:55] <haxality> hi all
[21:55] <haxality> I was wondering how to enable XGL and compiz in Xubuntu 7.10
[21:58] <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
[21:59] <haxality> thank you, even though I should have guessed that :)
[21:59] <TheSheep> haxality: they are better specialists :)
[22:05] <turno> sorry if i missed a response to my question
[22:06] <TheSheep> turno: nobody responded, sorry
[22:06] <TheSheep> turno: maybe try looking on the forums or the wiki
[22:07] <TheSheep> turno: or ask at some other time
[22:10] <turno> does xubuntu have a power management configurator?
[22:11] <TheSheep> turno: there is settings->setting manager->screensaver...
[22:12] <TheSheep> turno: or just run gnome-screensaver-preferences
[22:16] <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
[22:18] <turno> well it doesn't seem to run
[22:22] <turno> maybe if i just stop acpid
[23:14] <turno> still no luck... i'll post it in here if i find a solution to my problem
[23:15] <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
[23:16] <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
[23:17] <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)
[23:18] <soldats> can you do it
[23:19] <turno> http://pastebin.com/d6088c8ff
[23:19] <turno> sorry, i was off googling pastebin ;)
[23:21] <soldats> http://pastebin.com/d2b3875e7
[23:22] <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
[23:23] <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
[23:24] <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
[23:25] <turno> will do
[23:25] <turno> its in the next room anyway, all i have to do is not vnc into it
[23:26] <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
[23:29] <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
[23:31] <soldats> ok well just let me know if it works
[23:31] <soldats> i tried to get to you right before you left
[23:32] <turno> sorry
[23:32] <turno> i don't know why i kept closing the window
[23:33] <turno> if this works, it should really be on a menu somewhere
[23:34] <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
[23:35] <turno> so far so good!
