[02:20] <ManUnderground> Hey I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 server on a T40, but I get the following error on start up PANIC: CPU too old for this kernel.  Anyone know how to get around this?
[02:22] <_slvmchn_> hmm maybe try the prior version's install CD, see if it gives you the same... if not install that, then try upgrading after it's installed
[02:22] <_slvmchn_> but if the CPU is too old for the kernel in actuality, then i don't know what to tell, you, might not happen
[02:23] <ManUnderground> thanks, I'll look around and probably end up trying that
[02:52] <Kuni> is compiz installed in xubuntu gutsy by default, as in ubuntu?
[02:59] <_slvmchn_> i don't think so but it might be, even if it's not it takes about 5 seconds to get with synaptic
[02:59] <_slvmchn_> maybe another few minutes to set it all up right
[03:02] <soldats> locate compiz
[03:10] <LairSpirit> I've successfully installed Xbuntu onto my pIII 650 128MB 10GB Toshiba Satellite 2800 laptop. But I'm not convinced yet that it's 'zippy' :( It loads a little slower than the two previous OS (WinME and Mandrake 10) The CPU is running at 100% when nothing is running, is that normal?
[03:10] <LairSpirit> *Xubuntu :P
[03:12] <soldats> have you checked the system monitor to see what is eating so much processor/memory. also check in autostarted apps and see if theres something that shouldnt be running in there
[03:14] <LairSpirit> In system monitor, the only thing running that claims CPU % is gnome-system-monitor :P
[03:14] <soldats> wierd
[03:14] <LairSpirit> Where do I check for autostarted apps? I remember seeing it but can't recall now
[03:15] <soldats> applications > system > auto apps
[03:16] <LairSpirit> it's not in there O_o
[03:17] <soldats> strange but seeing as that you only have 128 memory id think it would run a "little" slow but not a constant 100% CPU usage
[03:17] <soldats> id suggest on a small system you should maybe go for the minimal install
[03:18] <LairSpirit> Id have liked to
[03:18] <soldats> dont quote me though. its the choice id make at this point for a new install :(
[03:19] <LairSpirit> I dont want it to do much. I just want linux on it. Chat, browser, email. Oh, play dvds. Thats it.
[03:20] <soldats> with a minimal install thats possible. also id look into maybe a much smaller window manager like enlightenment
[03:21] <soldats> before you reinstall (if you do) try out enlightenment
[03:21] <soldats> or fluxbox as they run fast on slow machines like your and mine
[03:21] <LairSpirit> I thought Xfce was supposed to be small
[03:22] <soldats> it is. smaller than gnome for sure. but there are window managers that are a quarter the size
[03:23] <cookiemonster077> can someone tell me how to configure fuse to run on boot
[03:23] <LairSpirit> Ill check out enlightenment. Any idea why autostarted apps isnt appearing for me now?
[03:24] <soldats> cookiemonster077, can you put it in autostarted apps
[03:24] <LairSpirit> ah Applications > Settings
[04:41] <macogw> im running the xubuntu live cd for gutsy on my friend's dell inspiron 8600 and the mouse wont move
[04:42] <macogw> the "mouse" and "synaptics" drivers are both listed in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:48] <Breakage> hi just had to reinstall xubuntu, was wondering how to enable numlock on startup without numlockx, or any extra programs. I had it set on start on previous install.
[05:51] <soldats> google it
[05:51] <soldats> not to be mean
[05:51] <Wyrmul> How can I determine which version of xubuntu I have installed?
[05:51] <soldats> try "enable numlock on startup in ubuntu"
[05:52] <Breakage> ok :))
[05:52] <Wyrmul> is there a terminal command I can run?
[05:52] <soldats> i believe so i cant remember
[05:58] <soldats> Wyrmul, you could try asking in #ubuntu
[05:58] <Breakage> hmm, still searching google now but all things point to "numlockx" and i'm positive i've never used it with ubuntu or xubuntu. strange.
[06:00] <soldats> Wyrmul, you can open gnome-system-monitor and in the first tab it will show the version
[06:00] <soldats> Breakage, one sec
[06:01] <Breakage> soldats ok :)
[06:03] <soldats> hmm well the only solution im finding is using numlockx
[06:03] <soldats> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_turn_on_Num_Lock_on_GNOME_startup
[06:03] <soldats> old guide but still works in most cases
[06:04] <soldats> wait...
[06:05] <Breakage> hehe yeah, thats all I found the stuff with numlockx. i've never used numlockx and enabled it for xubuntu and ubuntu fiesty and gutsy but just cant remember how. think it might be in gconf, checking through gconf-editor now.
[06:05] <Breakage> don't really want to enable extra programs on startup
[06:07] <soldats> yuh extra apps suck
[06:07] <Breakage> found it under "/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/remember_numlock_state" but it's gnome might still work not sure. i had it set last time with xubuntu so must be away :D
[06:08] <soldats> i believe that may be it. i did it in ubuntu gnome way back
[06:09] <soldats> isnt gconf-editor an extra package though
[06:09] <Breakage> yep, need it to change some stuff like.. notification pop-up and things
[06:09] <Breakage> position*
[06:10] <soldats> ahh. i never had problems with anything so i guess i never needed it
[06:10] <Breakage> :) I used to use ubuntu-tweak for gnome but doesn't work for xubuntu. which is a shame.
[06:11] <soldats> lol. i use fluxbox normally and tweak by hand
[06:11] <Wyrmul> have you tried upgrading from feisty to gutsy?
[06:12] <Breakage> :) im gunna be trying out flux later.
[06:12] <soldats> Wyrmul, who
[06:12] <Wyrmul> either, anyone?
[06:12] <soldats> yes i have
[06:12] <Wyrmul> how did it go?
[06:12] <Breakage> Wyrmul, I have yes but kinda borked my settings. So did fresh install.
[06:12] <soldats> perfectly smooth
[06:13] <Wyrmul> that inspires confidence.  :)
[06:13] <soldats> livecd is best IMO but mine went smoothly
[06:13] <soldats> updatedb
[06:13] <soldats> the the updats then upgrade
[06:14] <Breakage> hehe sorry, only happened once though and when i tried dist upgrade to hardy alpha 2 that went ok
[06:14] <Wyrmul> hmmm.  I may wait till I get a live cd to update from as opposed to through update manager
[06:14] <soldats> oh i used cli
[06:15] <Wyrmul> cli?
[06:16] <soldats> command line interface
[06:16] <soldats> terminal
[06:16] <Wyrmul> gotcha.  how would I run the update from the cli?  wait there is probably a doc somewhere on that
[06:17] <soldats> sudo apt-get update
[06:19] <Wyrmul> well looks like I am not doing that.  I am trying to get Virtual Box running and it seems to have some USB issues with gutsy
[06:20] <soldats> hmm. not sure. i know nothing about virtual box.
[06:22] <Wyrmul> it is in tehir docs.  Something with Gutsy broke their USB.  so I may as well go with feisty which should work fine.  And I already have.  thanks alot.
[06:23] <soldats> cool
[06:31] <soldats> Breakage, also i think its possible to enable numlock on startup via /etc/X11/gdm somewhere in there they may be an option
[06:31] <Breakage> soldats: thanks i'll do a bit more googling on that, need some coffee 1st lol.
[06:31] <soldats> http://wiki.xfce.org/faq
[06:31] <soldats> look here
[06:33] <graelb> hi there, quick question... if i want to bind a command to a launcher or a shortcut (through compiz-fusion), but it needs to be ran as root (IE shutdown,) how do i do that without needing to type in my password?
[06:33] <Breakage> thanks :)

[13:40] <TheSheep> swombat: have you tried searching the forums?
[13:44] <Ven]n> is there something in xubuntu that causes pinging of hostnames to be slow?
[13:44] <Ven]n> i mean.. just the action.. respons is fast
[13:44] <Ven]n> but pinging a hostname 4 times takes 20 seconds
[13:44] <TheSheep> Ven]n: ipv6 dns lookup maybe
[13:45] <Ven]n> and pinging the ip of same hostname is quick.. like 3 secs
[13:45] <Ven]n> this is my hosts file: http://rafb.net/p/cjJlZv25.html
[13:46] <nanonyme> Ven]n, try a command: host hostname
[13:46] <Ven]n> yes..
[13:46] <Ven]n> finds the ip and some more stuff
[13:46] <Ven]n> heh
[13:46] <nanonyme> does it give an ipv6 address?
[13:47] <Ven]n> host vg.no gives no ipv6, no
[13:47] <nanonyme> right
[13:47] <nanonyme> then it shouldn't be an ipv6-related problem
[13:48] <Ven]n> other ideas?
[13:48] <TheSheep> nanonyme: I know that some previous versions of ubuntu would try the dns lookup over ipv6 and *then* ipv4, after timeout
[13:48] <Ven]n> im using eeexubuntu
[13:48] <nanonyme> TheSheep, that's a bit inprecise
[13:49] <nanonyme> TheSheep, it resolves *both* at first. then it tries ipv6 address, timeouts, fallbacks to ipv4 address
[13:49] <nanonyme> it only tries ipv6 address if it exists
[13:49] <TheSheep> nanonyme: that's why there are so many 'disabling ipv6 support' guides on the forums
[13:49] <nanonyme> if the hostname has no ipv6 address, there is no problem
[13:50] <TheSheep> nanonyme: but it has, from avahi autoconfiguration
[13:50] <nanonyme> TheSheep, no, it doesn't. that's for the client. i'm talking of the destination computer
[13:50] <TheSheep> nanonyme: an ad-hoc address
[13:50] <nanonyme> if the destination computer has no AAAA record in DNS, there is no problem
[13:51] <nanonyme> if it does, there is
[13:51] <nanonyme> or can be anyway
[13:52] <swombat> [13:40] >>> TheSheep<<< swombat: have you tried searching the forums? << I have now... I ended up installing gnome-power-manager as suggested here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=344311
[13:53] <swombat> however, the screen has just now gone blank again
[13:53] <swombat> even though the power preferences are set to never switch off
[13:53] <nanonyme> TheSheep, though this is mostly irrelevant unless you want to understand the problem instead of just solving it
[13:55] <Ven]n> hehe
[13:55] <Ven]n> i just tried other dns (opendns).. no change
[13:59] <Ven]n> ping -n speeds it up
[14:54] <yhan> hi, i have installed the package xubuntu-desktop on top of my gnome dapper
[14:54] <yhan> the menus are messy, how can I fix that ?
[14:58] <skarface> messy?
[14:59] <yhan> like a big mess
[14:59] <skarface> no idea what that means
[14:59] <yhan> lot of junk
[14:59] <skarface> remove it?
[15:00] <skarface> you can use gnome's menu editor or just remove the programs you don't want
[15:00] <yhan> do I need to logoff - login to activate it ?
[15:01] <skarface> no
[15:04] <yhan> gnome-menus package ?
[15:04] <skarface> alacarte
[15:05] <yhan> ty

[19:06] <godfromdfo> hi
[19:06] <godfromdfo> Would a Airstation wireless network work on ubuntu?
[19:07] <godfromdfo> or is there a windows like function where more things work on it>
[19:07] <godfromdfo> Is there a way to make ubuntu work like windows?
[19:08] <godfromdfo> I mean have the compatibality?
[19:08] <godfromdfo> compatibility*
[19:08] <predaeus> godfromdfo, the wine project allows to run some windows applications. samba gives network interoperability. there is tools to access ntfs partitions.
[19:09] <predaeus> if you mean hardware
[19:09] <godfromdfo> ok ty
[19:09] <godfromdfo> I will search those
[19:09] <predaeus> !hardware | godfromdfo
[19:09] <ubotu> godfromdfo: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection

[20:04] <overridden> good evening here
[20:05] <overridden> for some unknown reason, my xfwm4 session has 768 little panels open, anyone know some command that might help my close them all accept nr1 ?
[20:09] <overridden> lol, is there someone out there reading this ???
[20:16] <siggjen> you could kill all of them with this «killall xfce4-panel»
[20:16] <siggjen> dunno how many reappear if you run xfce4-panel
[20:16] <overridden> no, they all come back when I restart
[20:18] <siggjen> you could try to rm ~/.cache/sessions/*
[20:18] <overridden> euhm, wont that kill my custom session ??
[20:19] <siggjen> possible
[20:19] <siggjen> poke around .cache/xfce4/ and try to find sth about the panel?
[20:20] <overridden> k, sec
[20:22] <overridden> cant find anything about them there
[20:23] <overridden> it's also really killing my cpu
[20:24] <siggjen> you could try to get rid of a few of them the usual way?
[20:25] <overridden> lol, then I have to select them one by one in that "customize panel", ant the f*ck is it keeps on selecting "panel 1" each time
[20:27] <siggjen> kilck on panel1 and select number 708 ?
[20:27] <siggjen> *click
[20:28] <overridden> yes, but after closing any one of them, it keeps on goin back to panel 1
[20:29] <siggjen> sounds nasty
[20:29] <overridden> there has to be some way to at least list them in a terminal, no ?
[20:30] <siggjen> ps ux | grep xfce4-panel
[20:30] <overridden> no
[20:32] <overridden> not even "sudo lsof -p pid(xfce4-panel?"
[20:35] <siggjen> sorry, i'm out of ideas
[20:36] <overridden> lol, seems like I hit a unique problem :)
[20:36] <siggjen> i'm no expert anyway
[20:37] <overridden> can you recommend some channel here where some super-experts dwell ?
[20:38] <siggjen> unfortunately no
[20:39] <siggjen> maybe there is a xubuntu-dev or sth
[20:51] <siggjen> overridden: look into .config/xfce4/
[20:51] <overridden> k, sec
[20:58] <overridden> ok, thx siggjen, found them in a config, gonne try, bb
[20:58] <siggjen> good luck
[20:58] <overridden> hehe
[21:07] <overridden> thx siggjen, it worked, they're gone
[21:26] <siggjen> overridden: that's nice (:
[21:27] <overridden> idd, I REALLY didnt feel like killing 768 times a pannel using that dialog ;)
[21:28] <siggjen> lazyness ...
[21:28] <siggjen> (:
[21:30] <overridden> that's me :D
[21:30] <siggjen> i believe it's any sane admin
