[00:02] ping [00:12] pong? [00:13] network manager isnt working. it says the connection is disconnected and dhcp has to be manually initiated [00:14] i've tried reinstalling it but that didnt fix anything [00:16] hrm... Are you sure dhcp is running on your network? [00:17] yes [00:17] it will get an ip from dhcp if i tell it to [00:18] network manager isn't really an xfce only thing. You might try asking in #ubuntu. I don't have any ideas... [00:19] ok [00:19] thanks [01:10] hi everyone.. [01:10] anyone who has experience of the Keep backup software? [01:31] anyone know how to install easyubuntu on xubuntu 7.10? [01:41] evenin' [01:42] evenin :) [01:42] 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] how do i do that with grub? [01:43] kayetech: in your grup there is a line that looks like # kopt .... [01:43] it goes on that line... /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:43] awesome, thanks =) [01:44] after changing the file run sudo /usr/sbin/update-grub [01:47] 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] eh? [01:48] to edit the grub config file [01:48] i can look at it, but it isnt letting me edit the file [01:48] is your system booted an running? [01:48] with a gui? [01:48] no, that is the issue, it wont boot [01:49] oh, well then ignore what I was saying until your system is booted [01:49] haha roger [01:49] the directions I gave you would fix it permantently... [01:50] alright so i am booting the live cd up again, one moment [01:50] 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] 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] or is it a different option [01:51] eh? [01:52] nevermind i have the livecd loaded [01:56] whats the cd/dvd app in xubuntu [01:57] brasearo? [01:58] ok rebooting, *crosses fingers* [01:59] no dice "kernel alive" "kernel direct mapping tables up to 100000000 @ 8000-d000" [01:59] anyone seen that message before? [03:11] anyone who has experience of the KEEP backup software? [04:09] whats up? [04:10] i just installed xubuntu on an oooold PII laptop [04:10] how can i tell if it recognizes my wireless PCMCIA card? [04:32] fartman: lspcmcia ... run that in a terminal window and see if anything comes back [04:39] hi all [04:40] hi [04:40] i instelled aspell and ispell but my programs don't seem to be detecting it [04:40] hahah *installed [04:40] as you see [04:42] no clue i assume its a spellchecker but i would never use such a thing :) [04:42] sorry i cant help more [04:42] spellchecking the xchat seems kinda overambitious... but hey.. [04:42] haha cool [04:42] well i use gaim [04:42] gaim and xchat have their own spellchecker [04:43] IIRC [04:43] nope [04:43] wait yes they do [04:43] i turn mine off [04:43] in the settings for each [04:45] so yeah [04:45] i've fallen in love with xubuntu [04:45] how can i tell if it recognizes my wireless PCMCIA card? [04:45] is there a painless way of installing firefox 3 beta 2 in xubuntu [04:46] no i think FF3 is still in dev [04:51] ah, didn't install dictionaries [04:53] lol [04:55] anyway to install xubuntu directly?

[06:12] no. like a bright black screen [06:12] my splash is also offset funny, other video related things. not sure if that's part of it [06:13] i had ubuntu dapper before, now trying xubuntu gutsy, and it's got this issue among others [06:17] 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] i hope your hdd isnt full. or maybe your resolution is correct [06:19] incorrect [06:19] i did a clean install, and my xcfe is running 800 x 600 like it should [06:20] so, i see tty1 - tty6 in event.d [06:21] strange maybe a key isnt working or the shortcuts are wrong for some reason [06:21] well, it does SOMETHING when i hit ctrl alt f2-f6 [06:22] goes blank [06:22] hello everyody [06:22] !hi | doktoreas [06:22] doktoreas: Hi!

[07:16] what does it do [07:16] are you using sudo to edit it [07:16] turns off the tap click on my mouse pad (laptop) [07:16] no, opened in mousepad and the other text prog [07:16] abiword [07:17] etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:17] do "gksudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf" in terminal then edit it [07:18] only root can write to that file IIRC [07:18] k 1sec [07:20] damn [07:20] well it seems to have saved that into the file [07:20] but still getting a tap click [07:21] it's like my mouse pad is possessed [07:21] windows close when i move over, etc [07:21] things open [07:21] you need to restart X in order for the changes to take effect [07:21] ahah [07:21] thank you [07:21] soldats, what did "sudo" do? [07:22] why not just abiword [07:22] super user pass? [07:22] gives you root priveledges to write to files that normal users cant write to. [07:22] ah, thanks [07:22] right on, peace [07:22] helps to keep everything safe [10:14] o/ === nalioth__ is now known as nalioth [14:04] buon pomeriggio a tutti!!

[14:11] i would like install msn live on my xubuntu desktop [14:12] how can i do? [14:12] 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] polonio: do they ahve a linux version of that software at all? [14:13] ok [14:13] no no... [14:14] i tought that it ran with wine [14:15] there is a linux version but is quite different [14:15] and my sister want all colour of windows messenger! [14:16] now i'm searching on ubuntu forums.. [14:20] thanx to all :-) [14:20] for help [14:21] i love pidgin! :-D [14:24] 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] 512 [14:25] its working fine after i come to the login screen [14:25] and i run some java development tools that takes alot of ram [14:25] sagieg: any warnings or errors in your dmesg? [14:26] nope , i also dont see anything it writes when its booting up i only see black screen and then the login screen [14:27] 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] any idea anyone? [14:33] sagieg: yes, you can edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove the 'splash' and 'quiet' options from your kernel boot options [14:34] thanks Sheep [14:34] sagieg: you need to do it as root, you know how? [14:34] yeah [14:35] sagieg: or you could edit it in your bootmanager, if it's just for one time [14:35] sagieg: just press 'e' at the system selection screen [14:35] thanks will try that out [14:42] hello [14:43] i have problems installing xubuntu, anyone willing to help? [14:46] no, uh? [14:50] !anyone [14:50] 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] oh, ok :) [14:51] 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] 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] Gika: I don't have any experience with macs, but I would check the forums [14:53] i also tried using video=ofonly and various other combinations but it just doesn't load [14:54] yeah i have searched the forums some weeks ago but couldn't come up with anything useful...i'll check again [14:54] (oh and sorry about my awful english, it's not my mother language) [14:55] your English is pretty good [14:55] 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] ok thanks for the tip [14:56] is there a specific xubuntu forum or can i just post on ubuntuforums.org? [14:57] there is one shared *ubuntu forum [14:58] Gika: have you seen http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=680757 ? [14:58] Gika: or is it you? [15:01] hello [15:01] 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] can you completely remove gnome and gnome specific programs after you install xfce? [15:02] 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] MaxFrames: remove it from software sources [15:03] MaxFrames: in system->software sources [15:06] 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] how come? is this normal? [15:07] MaxFrames: just unselect them all [15:08] and leave all the other entries alone, right? === maxamillion is now known as notMax [16:35] can anyone share their experience running xubuntu with a p4 2ghz and only 256 ram?
