[00:02] <evil_tech> ping
[00:12] <zoredache> pong?
[00:13] <evil_tech> network manager isnt working. it says the connection is disconnected and dhcp has to be manually initiated
[00:14] <evil_tech> i've tried reinstalling it but that didnt fix anything
[00:16] <zoredache> hrm...  Are you sure dhcp is running on your network?
[00:17] <evil_tech> yes
[00:17] <evil_tech> it will get an ip from dhcp if i tell it to
[00:18] <zoredache> network manager isn't really an xfce only thing.  You might try asking in #ubuntu.  I don't have any ideas...
[00:19] <evil_tech> ok
[00:19] <evil_tech> thanks
[01:10] <speedcore> hi everyone..
[01:10] <speedcore> anyone who has experience of the Keep backup software?
[01:31] <bishoy[echelon]> anyone know how to install easyubuntu on xubuntu 7.10?
[01:41] <kayetech> evenin'
[01:42] <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?
[01:43] <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 =)
[01:44] <zoredache> after changing the file run sudo /usr/sbin/update-grub
[01:47] <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?
[01:48] <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
[01:49] <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...
[01:50] <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
[01:51] <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?
[01:52] <kayetech> nevermind i have the livecd loaded
[01:56] <iKap> whats the cd/dvd app in xubuntu
[01:57] <soldats> brasearo?
[01:58] <kayetech> ok rebooting, *crosses fingers*
[01:59] <kayetech> no dice "kernel alive" "kernel direct mapping tables up to 100000000 @ 8000-d000"
[01:59] <kayetech> anyone seen that message before?
[03:11] <speedcore> anyone who has experience of the KEEP backup software?
[04:09] <fartman> whats up?
[04:10] <fartman> i just installed xubuntu on an oooold PII laptop
[04:10] <fartman> how can i tell if it recognizes my wireless PCMCIA card?
[04:32] <maxamillion> fartman: lspcmcia ... run that in a terminal window and see if anything comes back
[04:39] <Devo> hi all
[04:40] <soldats> hi
[04:40] <Devo> i instelled aspell and ispell but my programs don't seem to be detecting it
[04:40] <Devo> hahah *installed
[04:40] <Devo> as you see
[04:42] <soldats> no clue i assume its a spellchecker but i would never use such a thing :)
[04:42] <soldats> sorry i cant help more
[04:42] <speedcore> spellchecking the xchat seems kinda overambitious... but hey..
[04:42] <Devo> haha cool
[04:42] <Devo> well i use gaim
[04:42] <soldats> gaim and xchat have their own spellchecker
[04:43] <soldats> IIRC
[04:43] <Devo> nope
[04:43] <soldats> wait yes they do
[04:43] <soldats> i turn mine off
[04:43] <soldats> in the settings for each
[04:45] <Ein2015> so yeah
[04:45] <Ein2015> i've fallen in love with xubuntu
[04:45] <fartman> how can i tell if it recognizes my wireless PCMCIA card?
[04:45] <infbliss> is there a painless way of installing firefox 3 beta 2 in xubuntu
[04:46] <soldats> no i think FF3 is still in dev
[04:51] <Devo> ah, didn't install dictionaries
[04:53] <soldats> lol
[04:55] <the_giver> anyway to install xubuntu directly?
[04:55] <the_giver> without doing the damn live cd crap
[04:57] <soldats> alternate cd
[04:58] <soldats> !install
[04:58] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[06:03] <Leo5731> hi, anyone got a minute to help with my upgrade woes? got no tty screens...
[06:07] <Ein2015> maybe in a min
[06:07] <Ein2015> i gotta run to a friend's first tho
[06:07] <Ein2015> brb
[06:10] <soldats> if you press ctrl+alt+F2 do you get one
[06:11] <Leo5731> i get blank screens
[06:11] <Leo5731> for all of em
[06:12] <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
[06:13] <Leo5731> i had ubuntu dapper before, now trying xubuntu gutsy, and it's got this issue among others
[06:17] <soldats> for tty check in /etc/event.d/ and make sure they are there normally when they dont work they are set to .bak
[06:19] <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
[06:20] <Leo5731> so, i see tty1 - tty6 in event.d
[06:21] <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
[06:22] <Leo5731> goes blank
[06:22] <doktoreas> hello everyody
[06:22] <soldats> !hi | doktoreas
[06:22] <ubotu> doktoreas: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu!
[06:22] <doktoreas> anyone knows why a lot of xfce4 package need evolution-dataserver as dependencies?
[06:22] <doktoreas> install xfce4-notes-plugin
[06:23] <doktoreas> this one install a mess of things
[06:23] <soldats> if it deals with email i guess it would
[06:23] <doktoreas> but using thunderbird :D
[06:24] <soldats> no clue i dont use such things
[06:31] <doktoreas> how can i avoid installing all language while getting one package?
[07:05] <TeXnicer> Good Morning!
[07:08] <soldats> morning
[07:14] <soulroot> hi all, trying to set Option		"MaxTapTime"	"0" in xorg.conf, but am getting write error
[07:15] <soulroot> any ideas?
[07:16] <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
[07:17] <soulroot> etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:17] <soldats> do "gksudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf" in terminal then edit it
[07:18] <soldats> only root can write to that file IIRC
[07:18] <soulroot> k 1sec
[07:20] <soulroot> damn
[07:20] <soulroot> well it seems to have saved that into the file
[07:20] <soulroot> but still getting a tap click
[07:21] <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?
[07:22] <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] <soldats> helps to keep everything safe

[14:04] <polonio> buon pomeriggio a tutti!!
[14:05] <polonio> avrei bisogno di qualche consiglio...
[14:06] <polonio> mia sorella vorrebbe msn live anche su xubuntu...qualcuno ha provato a farlo girare con wine?
[14:08]  * polonio si batte la mano sulla fronte maledicendo il giorno che reinstallato windows...
[14:10] <predaeus> !it | polonio
[14:10] <ubotu> polonio: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[14:11] <polonio> oh!! sorry!!!
[14:11] <polonio> i would like install msn live on my xubuntu desktop
[14:12] <polonio> how can i do?
[14:12] <predaeus> polonio, hm, sorry I don't know, but this sounds general enough, so it should be the same with Ubuntu. You could also ask in #ubuntu
[14:13] <TheSheep> polonio: do they ahve a linux version of that software at all?
[14:13] <polonio> ok
[14:13] <polonio> no no...
[14:14] <polonio> i tought that it ran with wine
[14:15] <polonio> there is a linux version but is quite different
[14:15] <polonio> and my sister want all colour of windows messenger!
[14:16] <polonio> now i'm searching on ubuntu forums..
[14:20] <polonio> thanx to all :-)
[14:20] <polonio> for help
[14:21] <polonio> i love pidgin! :-D
[14:24] <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
[14:25] <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?
[14:26] <sagieg> nope , i also dont see anything it writes when its booting up i only see black screen and then the login screen
[14:27] <sagieg> is there anyway i can see the actions made when i start my computer before the login screen like other kinds of linux?
[14:28] <sagieg> any idea anyone?
[14:33] <TheSheep> sagieg: yes, you can edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove the 'splash' and 'quiet' options from your kernel boot options
[14:34] <sagieg> thanks Sheep
[14:34] <TheSheep> sagieg: you need to do it as root, you know how?
[14:34] <sagieg> yeah
[14:35] <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
[14:42] <Gika> hello
[14:43] <Gika> i have problems installing xubuntu, anyone willing to help?
[14:46] <Gika> no, uh?
[14:50] <TheSheep> !anyone
[14:50] <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 :)
[14:51] <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
[14:52] <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
[14:53] <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
[14:54] <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)
[14:55] <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
[14:56] <Gika> is there a specific xubuntu forum or can i just post on ubuntuforums.org?
[14:57] <TheSheep> there is one shared *ubuntu forum
[14:58] <TheSheep> Gika: have you seen http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=680757 ?
[14:58] <TheSheep> Gika: or is it you?
[15:01] <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
[15:02] <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)?
[15:03] <TheSheep> MaxFrames: remove it from software sources
[15:03] <TheSheep> MaxFrames: in system->software sources
[15:06] <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?
[15:07] <TheSheep> MaxFrames: just unselect them all
[15:08] <MaxFrames> and leave all the other entries alone, right?
[16:35] <blkorpheus> can anyone share their experience running xubuntu with a p4 2ghz and only 256 ram?
[16:35] <totalwormface> should work just fine :]
[16:35] <totalwormface> !cequirements
[16:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cequirements - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:35] <totalwormface> !requirements
[16:35] <ubotu> Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Xubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingXubuntu
[16:35] <blkorpheus> I know it will work just fine, I'm runningit now.
[16:36] <totalwormface> oh hehe
[16:36] <totalwormface> *^_^*
[16:36] <blkorpheus> just wondered if someone could provide the details their experience with the same spec this box has.
[16:37] <blkorpheus> :)
[16:42] <blkorpheus> this lil box aint bad
[16:42] <blkorpheus> just need to through some cheap ddr at it
[16:42] <blkorpheus> first intel machine

[17:59] <slow-motion> hi
[18:01] <maxamillion> hello
[18:21] <TangentBuntu> hello
[18:22] <TangentBuntu> I am having trouble with vsftpd
[18:22] <maxamillion> TangentBuntu: what kind of trouble?
[18:22] <TangentBuntu> every time I try to start it I get this error
[18:22] <TangentBuntu> 500 OOPS: missing value in config file for: anon_root /home/ftp/
[18:25] <TangentBuntu> how do I fix this?
[18:26] <TangentBuntu> oh well
[18:26] <TangentBuntu> I must leave
[18:26] <TangentBuntu> but I'll leave irssi running, if anyone figures this out, please leave me a message, I'll get it when I get home
[18:26] <zoredache> TangentBuntu: you might want to try a channel specificall aimed at vsftpd
[18:27] <TangentBuntu> is there one?
[18:27] <TangentBuntu> oh my god
[18:27] <TangentBuntu> there is
[18:27] <TangentBuntu> thank you
[18:27] <maxamillion> TangentBuntu: you might also wanna check out 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure vsftpd'
[18:27] <zoredache> I don't know.  But I do know that this channel is mostly aimed at general questions for xubuntu
[18:27] <maxamillion> zoredache: good point
[18:27] <zoredache> people might help if they know, but if you go to the right place you might find the experts
[18:28] <TangentBuntu> well yeah
[18:28] <TangentBuntu> I just didn't know that there was a channel for it
[18:28] <TangentBuntu> and I happen to be running xubuntu
[18:28] <zoredache> it is fine.  :)
[18:28] <TangentBuntu> thanks though
[18:38] <slow-motion> bye
[18:42] <kbrooks> hi
[18:43] <zoredache> hello
[18:51] <kbrooks> wassup?
[20:27] <blkorpheus> the flash package is installed, but not installing flash
[20:27] <blkorpheus> this issue still has not been resolved?
[20:31] <crimsun> workarounds for the stable, supported releases are still being tested.
[20:42] <blkorpheus> you are everywhere!
[20:43] <blkorpheus> I'm trying to make a bootcd from ubuntu to install on this old machine
[20:43] <blkorpheus> but all the directions I google are windowscentric
[20:43] <blkorpheus> I remember seeing a link last night
[20:43] <blkorpheus> but can no longer find it
[20:44] <blkorpheus> any link to such a page off hand crimsun
[21:36] <slow-motion> hi
[21:42] <Flare183> Ok, i'm helping a friend use xubuntu and he wants to connect to the internet through a usb cable. Is that possible?
[23:20] <Ein2015> scientology.org is down \o/
[23:21] <totalwormface> nice :D
[23:41] <oPeN-SouRCe> hi
[23:42] <oPeN-SouRCe> i have an issue with apt-get
[23:43] <soldats> whats the issue
[23:43] <oPeN-SouRCe> cant install or upgrade nothing
[23:43] <zoredache> do you get an error message perhaps?
[23:44] <soldats> what command are you running
[23:44] <soldats> or what errors are you getting per say
[23:44] <oPeN-SouRCe> keeps with an error related with a package named "linux-restricted-modules-generic
[23:44] <oPeN-SouRCe> can i paste the terminal translated
[23:44] <oPeN-SouRCe> translated
[23:45] <oPeN-SouRCe> from spanish
[23:45] <oPeN-SouRCe> may content errors
[23:45] <zoredache> if it is a long message it would be better to use pastebin
[23:45] <zoredache> !pastebin
[23:45] <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)
[23:45] <soldats> !paste > oPeN-SouRCe
[23:46] <soldats> sorrry zoredache i was too slow
[23:47] <oPeN-SouRCe> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54159/
[23:47] <oPeN-SouRCe> i think :/
[23:50] <zoredache> silly question, but is there free disk space?
[23:51] <oPeN-SouRCe> yes
[23:51] <oPeN-SouRCe> 5GB
[23:53] <the_giver> i'm tyring to setup my xubuntu machine to use synergy
[23:53] <the_giver> but i cant figure this damn part out:
[23:53] <the_giver> (U) On Unix-like systems the Screen Name is the pre-defined screen name of the computer and is located in your internet configuration file.
[23:53] <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
[23:54] <oPeN-SouRCe> i tryied
[23:54] <oPeN-SouRCe> but i can reintall packages
[23:54] <oPeN-SouRCe> not even that one
[23:57] <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] <oPeN-SouRCe> dpkg*
