[00:17] <riba1> hi guys,
[00:17] <riba1> where do I make compiz active ?
[00:18] <riba1> default is instaled after I enabled nvidia
[00:20] <riba1> also, emerald themes does not work
[03:48] <LinuxID10T> Any one here
[03:48] <LinuxID10T> Really is anyone here
[05:33] <infbliss> is there a way to install kde in a xubuntu system
[06:31] <jmichaelx> i have xubuntu installed on an old AMD K6-2 256MB, but it seems fairly sluggish. in your opinion, would slackware possibly run better on this machine, or should i stick with xubuntu?
[06:46] <maxamillion> jmichaelx: technically slackware would be a bit faster, but you will lose a large amount of features (the main one would be a package manager)
[06:47] <maxamillion> jmichaelx: you could check out fluxbuntu, its a full featured desktop targeted at being as efficient as possible
[06:47] <maxamillion> jmichaelx: its normally recommended for low end hardware (though not limited to low end hardware)
[06:48] <jmichaelx> maxamillion: ty, i appreciate the suggestion while i am weighing options
[06:48] <maxamillion> jmichaelx: hop over to #fluxbuntu for more info
[06:49] <maxamillion> jmichaelx: i hang out there too ... and the core developer is in the channel at the moment, prime time for questions if you have any :)
[06:49] <jmichaelx> maxamillion: ty i am there
[10:11] <mindframe_> is there a plugin that will monitor load for both cores of a dual core cpu?
[10:17] <TheSheep> mindframe_: load of core?
[10:18] <mindframe_> like a gui for top
[10:18] <mindframe_> CPU load
[10:18] <mindframe_> percentage meter
[10:18] <TheSheep> mindframe_: the system monitor shows you the cpu load
[10:18] <TheSheep> mindframe_: system monitor plugin
[10:18] <mindframe_> not for both cores :)
[10:19] <TheSheep> mindframe_: for both -- summed
[10:19] <mindframe_> ah i was looking for individual stats
[10:19] <mindframe_> im using the cpu graph plugin now
[10:19] <mindframe_> guess it'll have to do
[10:25] <TheSheep> mindframe_: there are the veraious cpuinfo, governor, etc. plugins
[10:25] <TheSheep> mindframe_: but none looks usable
[10:29] <mindframe_> do you know where the boot splash image is defined?  i tried out kubuntu but uninstalled it and now the kubuntu splash image is still showing up during boot
[10:50] <TheSheep> mindframe_: it's recorded in your initrd
[10:52] <TheSheep> mindframe_: to change it, run update-alternatives to select the splash you want, and then rebuild the initrd with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r)'
[12:36] <sugardrunk> is it 2012 already?
[12:49] <TheSheep> sugardrunk: no, come back in 4 years
[12:54] <sugardrunk> TheSheep, oh thanks
[14:30] <sprauekraut> Hello, I am having a problem with burning audio cds with mp3s using brasero.  Would anyone like to help?
[14:45] <TheSheep> !anyone | sprauekraut
[14:45] <ubotu> sprauekraut: 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?
[14:46] <TheSheep> sprauekraut: can you be a little more specific?
[14:50] <sprauekraut> yeah
[14:50] <sprauekraut> sorry
[14:50] <sprauekraut> okay here we go
[14:51] <sprauekraut> so when i add an mp3 file to an audio cd project in brasero, i get an error that says that gstreamer can't read the mp3 file....it says i should ensure that the proper codecs are installed
[14:52] <sprauekraut> i have installed the gstreamer ugly plugins
[14:52] <sprauekraut> and I have insalled the w32codecs from the mediabuntu repo
[14:52] <sprauekraut> i am able to play the same mp3 file in xmms, so I know mp3 playback is supported
"01 - Llama - Phish.mp3" can't be handled by gstreamer: Make sure the appropriate codec is installed.</error>
[14:54] <TheSheep> sprauekraut: well, do what it says
[14:55] <sprauekraut> wow incredibly helpful
[14:55] <sprauekraut> i would have never though
[14:55] <TheSheep> sprauekraut: make sure you have the fluendo-mp3 or ffmpeg codecs installed
[14:55] <sprauekraut> k
[14:55] <TheSheep> !attitude
[14:55] <ubotu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[14:56] <sprauekraut> !attitude
[14:56] <sprauekraut> Here's the thing TheSheep, i wouldn't give you attitude if i wasn't given it
[14:57] <TheSheep> sprauekraut: do you have the packages installed?
[14:57] <sprauekraut> gettin there
[14:58] <sprauekraut> installed both you suggested and still no dice
[14:59] <TheSheep> sprauekraut: so you didn't have them installed?
[14:59] <sprauekraut> correct
[15:01] <TheSheep> sprauekraut: do you have the -mad plugin?
[15:01] <TheSheep> sprauekraut: check if you have the file /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstmad.so
[15:02] <sprauekraut> yes i have that lib
[15:03]  * TheSheep scratches his head
[15:05] <sprauekraut> xubuntu 7.10 if that helps
[15:08] <sprauekraut> anyways, gotta get running.  Thanks for your help so far, even with my attitude.  We can pick this up later.  See ya :)
[15:09] <jasper> Good afternoon
[15:53] <Freewith> Hi. My system makes a system bell sound 5 or 6 times everytime I get to the logon screen or issue a shutdown. Anyone know what's wrong?
[15:53] <mindoverflow> hello
[15:54] <mindoverflow> i got a little problem with xubuntu gutsy
[15:54] <mindoverflow> same with ubuntu
[15:54] <mindoverflow> well, i have to hard disks
[15:54] <mindoverflow> when i try to run xubuntu from the live cd
[15:55] <mindoverflow> it stops at the busybox
[15:55] <mindoverflow> with the modprobe abnormal end
[15:55] <mindoverflow> what i did is i unplugged my first hardisk
[15:56] <mindoverflow> then it booted correctly
[15:56] <mindoverflow> i even installed it
[15:56] <mindoverflow> but once i replug the second drive, and boot from the installed partition
[15:56] <mindoverflow> the problem reappears again
[15:56] <mindoverflow> anyone got an idea please ?
[15:57] <mindoverflow> i'm running it on a p3 700mhz 256m of ram
[15:59] <mindoverflow> 2 ide disks the first of 20g partitionned to 6 partiotions
[15:59] <mindoverflow> and an other ides of 80 g
[15:59] <mindoverflow> a logical partition, the ex3 and the swap
[16:16] <pppp> algum help em portugues
[16:17] <pppp> ;j #ubuntu
[16:23] <nikin> hy
[16:25] <nikin> is this the right forum to discuss eeeXubuntu?
[17:01] <TheSheep> nikolam: not really, but large number of questions may be relevant
[17:01] <TheSheep> nikolam: sorry
[17:01] <TheSheep> bah, he left
[17:01] <nikolam> :)
[17:02] <nikolam> i`m here
[17:04] <TheSheep> but nikin left
[17:04] <nikolam> ah,
[17:04] <nikolam> when we are here..
[17:05] <nikolam> My X locks itself every time I logout and restart X. Processes stays (music plays etc) but keyboard is locked..
[17:05] <nikolam> I use 690g ati integrated graphics, latest ati owned drivers and xubuntu 64-bit
[17:06] <nikolam> maybe i should revert to older ati drivers? (hibernation does not work with them
[17:07] <TheSheep> nikolam: I found something that could help you find out what is going on, in 'man xorg', look for the definition of        Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Multiply
[17:08] <nikolam> mmm keyboard froze itself.. neither numlock works..
[17:09] <TheSheep> nikolam: have you looked at the bug reports? maybe there is a workaround...
[17:10] <TheSheep> nikolam: I had something similar with nvidia, disabling agp helped then
[17:10] <nikolam> Yes, I think that the best workaround is NOT to use ATI products at all..
[17:11] <mindoverflow> hi, could anybody help me with my boot problem ??
[17:11] <nikolam> Its binary driver after all..
[17:11] <nikolam> mindframe, shoot
[17:11] <TheSheep> hehe
[17:11] <TheSheep> missed
[17:12] <nikolam> :)
[17:12] <mindoverflow> the system wount boot up even with the live cd it stops at the busybox with  an abnormal modprobe exit
[17:13] <mindoverflow> it's due to hard disks, cuz i have  2 and as i unplug one of'em everything goes fine
[17:13] <mindoverflow> then, any clue ???
[17:13] <nikolam> maybe you need to adjust boot order of disks in your computer BIOS
[17:13] <mindoverflow> i forgot, it's a p3 with 2 ide drives
[17:13] <mindoverflow> nah
[17:14] <mindoverflow> the grub loads
[17:14] <mindoverflow> but the problem is when initiating the drivers
[17:14] <nikolam> Also, if you dont`want/cant adjust it in bios, you can install grub boot manager on other HDD and boot to current linux on another
[17:14] <mindoverflow> but there is nothing related to boot order
[17:15] <nikolam> drivers? You were just saying you cannot boot when you add second hdd
[17:15] <mindoverflow> cuz i could switch to whatever i want
[17:15] <mindoverflow> and i think i know how to deal with those stuff
[17:15] <mindoverflow> yes, i mean the boat loader loads
[17:15] <mindoverflow> then here, we're already done with the boot order
[17:16] <mindoverflow> as the xubunto logo appears
[17:16] <mindoverflow> a few moments later
[17:16] <mindoverflow> it says  that there was an abnormal exit of modprobe
[17:16] <nikolam> look at the /boot/grub/manu.lst and /boot/grub/device.map
[17:16] <mindoverflow> and i get the the initramfs shell
[17:17] <TheSheep> mindoverflow: can you remove the 'quiet' option from the kernel boot options (you can do it when in grub by pressing 'e') and see what it says?
[17:17] <mindoverflow> not that too
[17:17] <mindoverflow> i tell you that some of the drivers loads
[17:17] <mindoverflow> then nothing related to grub settings
[17:17] <mindoverflow> i didn't try to remove the quiet option
[17:17] <TheSheep> mindoverflow: if you remove the 'quiet' option, you will be able to see what exactly fails
[17:18] <mindoverflow> ok, ill be traying it
[17:18] <mindoverflow> and i'l be back in a while
[17:18] <mindoverflow> thank you
[17:18] <nikolam> I have 2 hdd`s on sata. I boot from first but i have 2 /boot partitions on both drives (since i use raid1 on second partitions) I installeed grub on second drive with grub-install and copied all data from first /boot to second. All is fine.
[17:35] <mindoverflow> well, i'm back
[17:36] <mindoverflow> employing the noisy option
[17:36] <mindoverflow> it stops at
[17:37] <mindoverflow> alert! /dev/disk/...ef60.... doesn't exist dropping to shell
[17:38] <mindoverflow> well, maybe this cuz i installed xubuntu plugging only one drive and know i'm booting with 2 disks
[17:39] <mindoverflow> but before there is the udev-event[2086] modprobe abnormal exit
[17:39] <mindoverflow> the same as i get when loading the live cd
[17:41] <Yashy> Is anyone aware of an issue on gutsy amd64 where the usb keyboard and/or mouse lock up after some uptime?
[17:42] <Yashy> Also, it seems around every 3rd boot I have a fan (HDD? GPU?) running 100% (noisy). Right now it's quiet though.
[17:43] <TheSheep> mindoverflow: edit your /etc/fstab and use somethng like /dev/sda1 instead of UUID
[17:43] <mindoverflow> ok, i'll try
[17:44] <mindoverflow> but what about the udev event 2086
[17:44] <TheSheep> mindoverflow: and same with the root= option for the kernel in your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[17:44] <TheSheep> mindoverflow: no idea, you might want to google for it
[17:44] <mindoverflow> cuz it's this one that i'm getting when loading from the live cd
[17:44] <mindoverflow> that's what i'm doing :)
[17:45] <mindoverflow> cuz the disk not found is an error that happens only from my installed system
[17:45] <mindoverflow> but prior to this i was getting the modprobe problem
[17:45] <mindoverflow> the thing that i'm still getting but it's being ignored and stops at the final alert
[17:48] <philphoto> having problems with usb, any help?
[17:49] <mindoverflow> TheSheep: how would the fstab become ?
[17:49] <mindoverflow> actually it's
[17:49] <mindoverflow> UUID=ef608042-9080-43ef-96ea-47a980d5671a /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[17:53] <mindoverflow> that way probabely
[17:53] <mindoverflow> /dev/hdb2 /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[17:57] <mindoverflow> ok, gona replug the other disk, and retry
[17:57] <mindoverflow> i'll be back
[18:09] <mindoverflow> back
[18:09] <mindoverflow> TheSheep: not yet
[18:09] <mindoverflow> an other problem i forgot to tell you about wich is
[18:10] <mindoverflow> check root=bootarg car /proc/cmdline
[18:10] <mindoverflow> i'm gona try to fix it
[18:10] <mindoverflow> and missing  modules, device cat /proc/modules
[18:11] <mindoverflow> is there any module i got to look for it or include it ??
[18:18] <TheSheep> mindoverflow: is there anything in /proc at all?
[18:18] <TheSheep> mindoverflow: if not, do: mount /proc
[18:19] <crewe> hey does anyone here have a SAA7130 TV tuner card?
[18:19] <TheSheep> !anyone | crewe
[18:19] <ubotu> crewe: 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?
[18:20] <crewe> I guess you're right, well I'm just trying to get it to work
[18:21] <crewe> it's detected, I just cant get it to work with any tv tuner program
[18:21] <TheSheep> crewe: any error message?
[18:21] <crewe> nope
[18:21] <mindoverflow> TheSheep: yes, /proc/cmdline contain the uuid
[18:21] <TheSheep> crewe: try running these programs from a terminal
[18:21] <crewe> right now I'm trying tvtime
[18:21] <mindoverflow> and /modules have some drivers there
[18:22] <mindoverflow> but how could i edit cmdline
[18:22] <mindoverflow> i tryed gedit but it seems to be empty
[18:22] <TheSheep> mindoverflow: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:22] <mindoverflow> but with cat it displays that line
[18:22] <mindoverflow> ok
[18:22] <TheSheep> cmdline is read-only
[18:22] <TheSheep> it's not a real file
[18:22] <crewe> no error from command line
[18:23] <TheSheep> crewe: how about dmesg?
[18:24] <crewe> what is that, I've been told to use that before but I don't know what to look for
[18:24] <TheSheep> crewe: just type 'dmesg' in terminal
[18:24] <crewe> I did
[18:24] <TheSheep> crewe: preferably dmesg | less
[18:24] <TheSheep> so that you can scroll it
[18:25] <crewe> yeah, but I still dont' know what I'm looking for
[18:25] <TheSheep> the most recent messages are at the bottom
[18:25] <TheSheep> these are various system messages, mostly from kernel and kernel modules
[18:25] <TheSheep> you can see if you device was detected, and whether the corresponding kernel modules gave any errors about it
[18:25] <crewe> I'm seeing a lot of Ethernet stuff
[18:26] <TheSheep> like?
[18:27] <crewe> dropped somethier or the other on eth1
[18:28] <mindoverflow> TheSheep: would this be correct ??
[18:28] <mindoverflow> kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=/dev/hdb2 ro quiet splash
[18:28] <TheSheep> mindoverflow: yes, maybe remove that quiet too
[18:28] <mindoverflow> ok
[18:29] <mindoverflow> gona try again
[18:29] <TheSheep> mindoverflow: best copy whole entry and leave one unedited
[18:29] <TheSheep> ah
[18:30] <crewe> [16408.626674] DROPPED IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=00:~:00 SRC=65.39.25.178 DST=224.0.0.251 LEN=115 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=255 ID=7578 PROTO=UDP SPT=5353 DPT=5353 LEN=95
[18:30] <crewe> I see that a lot
[18:30] <TheSheep> crewe: those are logs from your firewall
[18:31] <TheSheep> crewe: it's blocking some packets
[18:31] <crewe> okay, figured, but other than that, nothing in particular
[18:31] <TheSheep> crewe: I guess you already searched the forums?
[18:32] <crewe> nothing comes up, well nothing relavant
[18:32] <TheSheep> crewe: you can also ask at #ubuntu, this is a general enough thing and it has much more people
[18:33] <crewe> whoa, never thought of that, I was in #ubuntuforums
[18:55] <mindoverflow> TheSheep: no progress at all
[18:55] <mindoverflow> :)
[18:56] <mindoverflow> and i noticed that no partition is mounted
[18:57] <philphoto> I've got a problem with usb:  usbdevfs doesn't exist
[18:57] <philphoto> any help?
[18:57] <mindoverflow> how could i know wich module did fail in loading ?
[19:07] <TheSheep> mindoverflow: see dmesg
[19:09] <mindoverflow> dmesg doesn't function if i remember well
[19:12] <mindoverflow> i'll be trying
[19:12] <mindoverflow> thanks anyway

[20:28] <artur_> About the Xubuntu CD,what is the difference between the Live CD Desktop and Live CD Alternate. Why the first needs a computer with more RAM, while the second needs less RAM?
[20:28] <TheSheep> artur_: alternate is not a live cd
[20:28] <artur_> so, just to install
[20:28] <TheSheep> artur_: it only has the installer, not a complete working system
[20:28] <TheSheep> artur_: but it's fater and needs less ram
[20:29] <TheSheep> faster
[20:29] <TheSheep> both install exactly the same thing
[20:29] <artur_> TheSheep: Nice. Could i install in a about 500Mhz computer ?
[20:30] <artur_> I'd install with the alternate...
[20:32] <TheSheep> artur_: there is no requirement about the cpu speed, but it gets completely unusuable around pentium 200
[20:32] <TheSheep> artur_: I guess 500Mhz is pretty good
[20:33] <TheSheep> (not unusable as in "doesn't work", unusable as in "it's so slow I think I'll break it into pieces!")
[20:33] <artur_> TheSheep: Thank`s very much! ;)

[20:54] <neosix> hello! Can anybody tell how can I set single click for desktop icons in Xubuntu?

[20:58] <crewe> how do I use the 'insmod' command to change a variable for my tv tuner card
[22:31] <SchwarzeKrause> Hi, all. Is there any service that would allow me to see the versions of packages currently in Xubuntu's repos? Just like Debian's package db
