| zoredache | pong? | 00:12 |
| evil_tech | network manager isnt working. it says the connection is disconnected and dhcp has to be manually initiated | 00:13 |
| evil_tech | i've tried reinstalling it but that didnt fix anything | 00:14 |
| zoredache | hrm... Are you sure dhcp is running on your network? | 00:16 |
| evil_tech | yes | 00:17 |
| evil_tech | it will get an ip from dhcp if i tell it to | 00:17 |
| zoredache | network manager isn't really an xfce only thing. You might try asking in #ubuntu. I don't have any ideas... | 00:18 |
| evil_tech | ok | 00:19 |

| bishoy[echelon] | anyone know how to install easyubuntu on xubuntu 7.10? | 01:31 |
| kayetech | evenin' | 01:41 |
| soldats | evenin :) | 01:42 |
| kayetech | quick question: i just went to install xubuntu on my desktop and i go to reboot and it just hangs. same thing happened with the live cd and i fixed it by adding to the boot options "noapic and no-acpi" | 01:42 |
| kayetech | how do i do that with grub? | 01:42 |
| zoredache | kayetech: in your grup there is a line that looks like # kopt .... | 01:43 |
| zoredache | it goes on that line... /boot/grub/menu.lst | 01:43 |
| kayetech | awesome, thanks =) | 01:43 |
| zoredache | after changing the file run sudo /usr/sbin/update-grub | 01:44 |
| kayetech | ok so i was trying to get at it from the grub console but it looks like i will need to pop the live CD back in, is that true? | 01:47 |
| zoredache | eh? | 01:48 |
| kayetech | to edit the grub config file | 01:48 |
| kayetech | i can look at it, but it isnt letting me edit the file | 01:48 |
| zoredache | is your system booted an running? | 01:48 |
| zoredache | with a gui? | 01:48 |
| kayetech | no, that is the issue, it wont boot | 01:48 |
| zoredache | oh, well then ignore what I was saying until your system is booted | 01:49 |
| kayetech | haha roger | 01:49 |
| zoredache | the directions I gave you would fix it permantently... | 01:49 |
| kayetech | alright so i am booting the live cd up again, one moment | 01:50 |
| zoredache | from the grub menu you should be able to go to one of the options, hit e for edit and then add the options | 01:50 |
| kayetech | from the grub menu i can do a cat /boot/grub/menu.lst but it only lets me look at it, so if i hit e when looking at it, it will let me edit the file? | 01:51 |
| kayetech | or is it a different option | 01:51 |
| zoredache | eh? | 01:51 |
| kayetech | nevermind i have the livecd loaded | 01:52 |
| iKap | whats the cd/dvd app in xubuntu | 01:56 |
| soldats | brasearo? | 01:57 |
| kayetech | ok rebooting, *crosses fingers* | 01:58 |
| kayetech | no dice "kernel alive" "kernel direct mapping tables up to 100000000 @ 8000-d000" | 01:59 |

| Leo5731 | hi, anyone got a minute to help with my upgrade woes? got no tty screens... | 06:03 |
| Ein2015 | maybe in a min | 06:07 |
| Ein2015 | i gotta run to a friend's first tho | 06:07 |
| Ein2015 | brb | 06:07 |
| soldats | if you press ctrl+alt+F2 do you get one | 06:10 |
| Leo5731 | i get blank screens | 06:11 |
| Leo5731 | for all of em | 06:11 |
| soldats | no login prompts? | 06:12 |
| Leo5731 | no. like a bright black screen | 06:12 |
| Leo5731 | my splash is also offset funny, other video related things. not sure if that's part of it | 06:12 |
| Leo5731 | i had ubuntu dapper before, now trying xubuntu gutsy, and it's got this issue among others | 06:13 |
| soldats | for tty check in /etc/event.d/ and make sure they are there normally when they dont work they are set to .bak | 06:17 |
| soldats | i hope your hdd isnt full. or maybe your resolution is correct | 06:19 |
| soldats | incorrect | 06:19 |
| Leo5731 | i did a clean install, and my xcfe is running 800 x 600 like it should | 06:19 |
| Leo5731 | so, i see tty1 - tty6 in event.d | 06:20 |
| soldats | strange maybe a key isnt working or the shortcuts are wrong for some reason | 06:21 |
| Leo5731 | well, it does SOMETHING when i hit ctrl alt f2-f6 | 06:21 |
| Leo5731 | goes blank | 06:22 |

| soulroot | hi all, trying to set Option"MaxTapTime""0" in xorg.conf, but am getting write error | 07:14 |
| soulroot | any ideas? | 07:15 |
| soldats | what does it do | 07:16 |
| soldats | are you using sudo to edit it | 07:16 |
| soulroot | turns off the tap click on my mouse pad (laptop) | 07:16 |
| soulroot | no, opened in mousepad and the other text prog | 07:16 |
| soulroot | abiword | 07:16 |
| soulroot | etc/X11/xorg.conf | 07:17 |
| soldats | do "gksudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf" in terminal then edit it | 07:17 |
| soldats | only root can write to that file IIRC | 07:18 |
| soulroot | k 1sec | 07:18 |
| soulroot | damn | 07:20 |
| soulroot | well it seems to have saved that into the file | 07:20 |
| soulroot | but still getting a tap click | 07:20 |
| soulroot | it's like my mouse pad is possessed | 07:21 |
| soulroot | windows close when i move over, etc | 07:21 |
| soulroot | things open | 07:21 |
| soldats | you need to restart X in order for the changes to take effect | 07:21 |
| soulroot | ahah | 07:21 |
| soulroot | thank you | 07:21 |
| soulroot | soldats, what did "sudo" do? | 07:21 |
| soulroot | why not just abiword | 07:22 |
| soulroot | super user pass? | 07:22 |
| soldats | gives you root priveledges to write to files that normal users cant write to. | 07:22 |
| soulroot | ah, thanks | 07:22 |
| soulroot | right on, peace | 07:22 |

| sagieg | Hello i have 2 partitions one is xubuntu and winXP , my xubuntu takes forever to load but it works good once i get to the login screen (it takes about 5 full minutes until it gets to that screen) how can i solve this? | 14:24 |
| TheSheep | sagieg: how fast is the computer? | 14:24 |
| arochester | How much RAM have you got? | 14:24 |
| sagieg | 512 | 14:24 |
| sagieg | its working fine after i come to the login screen | 14:25 |
| sagieg | and i run some java development tools that takes alot of ram | 14:25 |
| TheSheep | sagieg: any warnings or errors in your dmesg? | 14:25 |
| sagieg | nope , i also dont see anything it writes when its booting up i only see black screen and then the login screen | 14:26 |
| sagieg | is there anyway i can see the actions made when i start my computer before the login screen like other kinds of linux? | 14:27 |
| sagieg | any idea anyone? | 14:28 |
| TheSheep | sagieg: yes, you can edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove the 'splash' and 'quiet' options from your kernel boot options | 14:33 |
| sagieg | thanks Sheep | 14:34 |
| TheSheep | sagieg: you need to do it as root, you know how? | 14:34 |
| sagieg | yeah | 14:34 |
| TheSheep | sagieg: or you could edit it in your bootmanager, if it's just for one time | 14:35 |
| TheSheep | sagieg: just press 'e' at the system selection screen | 14:35 |
| sagieg | thanks will try that out | 14:35 |

| ubotu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 14:50 |
| Gika | oh, ok :) | 14:50 |
| Gika | well, i have this pretty old imac g3, and since it can't even run tiger i was wondering if it could run xubuntu | 14:51 |
| Gika | so i donwloaded the 6.06 ppc version and well, it loads (i get the xubuntu logo) but then black screen and i have to restart | 14:52 |
| TheSheep | Gika: I don't have any experience with macs, but I would check the forums | 14:53 |
| Gika | i also tried using video=ofonly and various other combinations but it just doesn't load | 14:53 |
| Gika | yeah i have searched the forums some weeks ago but couldn't come up with anything useful...i'll check again | 14:54 |
| Gika | (oh and sorry about my awful english, it's not my mother language) | 14:54 |
| TheSheep | your English is pretty good | 14:55 |
| TheSheep | you might want to check later and see if there is some ppc user here, or post on the forum and ask about it | 14:55 |
| Gika | ok thanks for the tip | 14:55 |
| Gika | is there a specific xubuntu forum or can i just post on ubuntuforums.org? | 14:56 |
| TheSheep | there is one shared *ubuntu forum | 14:57 |

| MaxFrames | hello | 15:01 |
| Gika | yes i have seen it but it doesn't help me for now... i think i'll just alt-install ubuntu, see if it works, and install xubuntu | 15:01 |
| Gika | can you completely remove gnome and gnome specific programs after you install xfce? | 15:02 |
| MaxFrames | every time I add software or system components (on xubuntu 6.06) I am asked to insert the installation CD-ROM... how do I avoid this (and specify the network as the main repository)? | 15:02 |
| TheSheep | MaxFrames: remove it from software sources | 15:03 |
| TheSheep | MaxFrames: in system->software sources | 15:03 |
| MaxFrames | strange... in "software sources", cdrom is listed twice (with an identical string): the first instance is unselected and the second one is selected | 15:06 |
| MaxFrames | how come? is this normal? | 15:06 |
| TheSheep | MaxFrames: just unselect them all | 15:07 |

| the_giver | what is that supposed to mean? | 23:53 |
| the_giver | it def is not the hostname | 23:53 |
| the_giver | since i tried that | 23:53 |
| zoredache | hrm... the answer doesn't seem obvious. I suspect I would try to uninstall, and reinstall linux-restricted-modules-generic | 23:53 |
| oPeN-SouRCe | i tryied | 23:54 |
| oPeN-SouRCe | but i can reintall packages | 23:54 |
| oPeN-SouRCe | not even that one | 23:54 |
| zoredache | oPeN-SouRCe: perhaps you could manually download the linux-restricted-modules-generic and install it manually with dpkg -i | 23:57 |
| oPeN-SouRCe | cant | 23:57 |
| oPeN-SouRCe | the problem is with dpck in general | 23:57 |
