[00:00] 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] 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] well i guess you'd need to replace some binary file holding the graphics used at boot.. [00:04] g2g [00:06] true that should work [00:06] brb, band practice [00:06] heading for bed.. thanks again [01:26] it seems like 7.10 is a lot slower to boot / use than 7.04 [01:26] i used to be able to install with normal graphics enabled, now i have to boot the live cd in safe graphics mode === aro is now known as aroo [05:23] anyone around?

[19:18] pardon? [19:19] like i want to install the entire games section [19:20] I am not aware of anyway to do that short of a fairly complex command line [19:53] 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] Spaggy: apt-get autoremove [20:08] Spaggy: after you have removed mythtv [20:27] hello? [20:29] can some one help me? [20:29] anyone? [20:29] is anyone alive? [20:33] !ask wsguede [20:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask wsguede - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:33] !ask | wsguede [20:33] 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] 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] wsguede: it wasn't ok [20:40] wsguede: redo the installation [20:40] thesheep: how long does it normally hang on that part? [20:41] wsguede: depends on your processor and ram, it can hang permanently if you have less than 96 mb of ram [20:42] 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] 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] weird [20:46] is there any message before the command prompt? [20:46] except for the "no job control" one [20:46] there is no "no job control" msg [20:46] it says [20:46] [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB ... blah blah about the use of the tab button...] [20:47] wsguede: and before that? [20:48] loading grub... [20:48] 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] wsguede: you can see some more messgaes by switching to a different console, with alt+f1, f2, etc. [20:50] thesheep ??? [20:53] wsguede: ah, sorry, that's after it boots [20:53] wsguede: not if it failed at this stage [20:54] wsguede: did you use any boot options to boot the alternate cd, or did you just press eneter? [20:54] what do you mean? [20:55] 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] box [20:56] do you type my name every time? or is there a short cut to type to the last person you typed to? [20:56] few first letters and then TAB [20:56] TheSheep: o ok [20:56] I like that [20:57] wsguede: you can try and see if 'repairing grub' will help [20:57] !grub | wsguede [20:57] 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] wsguede: there is an option for that on the alternate cd [20:57] TheSheep: yeah, I tried that the first time I installed it and this happen to me... didn't help much [20:58] then I'm out of ideas, sorry [20:58] TheSheep: its ok [21:20] hi [21:21] I have a pdf here and evince tells me [21:21] Error: Couldn't create temporary font file [21:21] some font thing failed [21:21] pretty specific, huh? [21:21] what font package could I install to make that go away? [21:21] i can read it on my other xubuntu machine just fine [21:26] the message seems to suggest that it is trying to create a file, not find something you already have [21:27] is your disk full, do you have rights to /tmp, [21:52] how do i completely disable the screensaver/monitor powerdown? [21:53] I'm installed on a media pc and theres no kb/mouse, only a remote control [21:55] hi all [21:55] I was wondering how to enable XGL and compiz in Xubuntu 7.10 [21:58] !compiz [21:58] 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] thank you, even though I should have guessed that :) [21:59] haxality: they are better specialists :) [22:05] sorry if i missed a response to my question [22:06] turno: nobody responded, sorry [22:06] turno: maybe try looking on the forums or the wiki [22:07] turno: or ask at some other time [22:10] does xubuntu have a power management configurator? [22:11] turno: there is settings->setting manager->screensaver... [22:12] turno: or just run gnome-screensaver-preferences [22:16] i'm installing gnome-power-manager [22:16] if it does what i'm looking for, i'm really surprised its not included by default [22:18] well it doesn't seem to run [22:22] maybe if i just stop acpid [23:14] still no luck... i'll post it in here if i find a solution to my problem [23:15] turno, so are you trying to make your monitor not power off after 10 minutes [23:15] mm hmm [23:15] cause i use it for watching videos on my tv [23:15] i take "mm hmm" as a yes [23:15] yes [23:15] ok well i have a simple fix [23:16] go ahead please [23:16] i've disabled dpms in my bios, turned power management to never in xfce, disabled the screensaver... [23:16] 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] !paste [23:17] 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] can you do it [23:19] http://pastebin.com/d6088c8ff [23:19] sorry, i was off googling pastebin ;) [23:21] http://pastebin.com/d2b3875e7 [23:22] i see the serverflags you added [23:22] the section for "Section ServerFlags" i added some options and other stuff [23:22] add the section exactly as i put it or i guess you cpoy paste the whole thing [23:22] s/cpoy/copy [23:23] the tabs/spaces need to be aligned [23:23] i have agood feeling about this [23:23] i just loaded it up and am rebooting now [23:23] dont worry i had the same problem [23:23] ok [23:23] when doing this your screen will never turn off though [23:23] you can solve it by hitting the power switch [23:23] or [23:24] xset dpms force off in a terminal [23:24] i don't want it to ever turn off [23:24] its hooked to a tv [23:24] ok [23:24] anything less than 3 hours would interfere with movie watching [23:24] well to test dont move the mouse or touch a key for about 12 minutes and let me know [23:24] i've put together a pretty swanky little media pc now [23:25] will do [23:25] its in the next room anyway, all i have to do is not vnc into it [23:26] 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] its a traditional tube tv [23:29] connected with composite cable [23:29] so the best it could do would be to blank it anyway [23:31] ok well just let me know if it works [23:31] i tried to get to you right before you left [23:32] sorry [23:32] i don't know why i kept closing the window [23:33] if this works, it should really be on a menu somewhere [23:34] 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] so far so good!
