[00:17] hi guys, [00:17] where do I make compiz active ? [00:18] default is instaled after I enabled nvidia [00:20] also, emerald themes does not work === luisbg_ is now known as luisbg === ron_o is now known as Rhinanthus === Rhinanthus is now known as ron_o === DarthShr1ne is now known as DarthShrine [03:48] Any one here [03:48] Really is anyone here [05:33] is there a way to install kde in a xubuntu system [06:31] 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] 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] jmichaelx: you could check out fluxbuntu, its a full featured desktop targeted at being as efficient as possible [06:47] jmichaelx: its normally recommended for low end hardware (though not limited to low end hardware) [06:48] maxamillion: ty, i appreciate the suggestion while i am weighing options [06:48] jmichaelx: hop over to #fluxbuntu for more info [06:49] 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] maxamillion: ty i am there [10:11] is there a plugin that will monitor load for both cores of a dual core cpu? [10:17] mindframe_: load of core? [10:18] like a gui for top [10:18] CPU load [10:18] percentage meter [10:18] mindframe_: the system monitor shows you the cpu load [10:18] mindframe_: system monitor plugin [10:18] not for both cores :) [10:19] mindframe_: for both -- summed [10:19] ah i was looking for individual stats [10:19] im using the cpu graph plugin now [10:19] guess it'll have to do [10:25] mindframe_: there are the veraious cpuinfo, governor, etc. plugins [10:25] mindframe_: but none looks usable [10:29] 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] mindframe_: it's recorded in your initrd [10:52] 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] is it 2012 already? [12:49] sugardrunk: no, come back in 4 years === mindframe- is now known as mindframe [12:54] TheSheep, oh thanks === mindframe_ is now known as mindframe [14:30] Hello, I am having a problem with burning audio cds with mp3s using brasero. Would anyone like to help? [14:45] !anyone | sprauekraut [14:45] 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] sprauekraut: can you be a little more specific? [14:50] yeah [14:50] sorry [14:50] okay here we go [14:51] 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] i have installed the gstreamer ugly plugins [14:52] and I have insalled the w32codecs from the mediabuntu repo [14:52] i am able to play the same mp3 file in xmms, so I know mp3 playback is supported [14:54] "01 - Llama - Phish.mp3" can't be handled by gstreamer: Make sure the appropriate codec is installed. [14:54] sprauekraut: well, do what it says [14:55] wow incredibly helpful [14:55] i would have never though [14:55] sprauekraut: make sure you have the fluendo-mp3 or ffmpeg codecs installed [14:55] k [14:55] !attitude [14:55] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [14:56] !attitude [14:56] Here's the thing TheSheep, i wouldn't give you attitude if i wasn't given it [14:57] sprauekraut: do you have the packages installed? [14:57] gettin there [14:58] installed both you suggested and still no dice [14:59] sprauekraut: so you didn't have them installed? [14:59] correct [15:01] sprauekraut: do you have the -mad plugin? [15:01] sprauekraut: check if you have the file /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstmad.so [15:02] yes i have that lib [15:03] * TheSheep scratches his head [15:05] xubuntu 7.10 if that helps [15:08] anyways, gotta get running. Thanks for your help so far, even with my attitude. We can pick this up later. See ya :) [15:09] Good afternoon === jasper is now known as Siparti [15:53] 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] hello [15:54] i got a little problem with xubuntu gutsy [15:54] same with ubuntu [15:54] well, i have to hard disks [15:54] when i try to run xubuntu from the live cd [15:55] it stops at the busybox [15:55] with the modprobe abnormal end [15:55] what i did is i unplugged my first hardisk [15:56] then it booted correctly [15:56] i even installed it [15:56] but once i replug the second drive, and boot from the installed partition [15:56] the problem reappears again [15:56] anyone got an idea please ? [15:57] i'm running it on a p3 700mhz 256m of ram [15:59] 2 ide disks the first of 20g partitionned to 6 partiotions [15:59] and an other ides of 80 g [15:59] a logical partition, the ex3 and the swap [16:16] algum help em portugues [16:17] ;j #ubuntu [16:23] hy [16:25] is this the right forum to discuss eeeXubuntu? [17:01] nikolam: not really, but large number of questions may be relevant [17:01] nikolam: sorry [17:01] bah, he left [17:01] :) [17:02] i`m here [17:04] but nikin left [17:04] ah, [17:04] when we are here.. [17:05] My X locks itself every time I logout and restart X. Processes stays (music plays etc) but keyboard is locked.. [17:05] I use 690g ati integrated graphics, latest ati owned drivers and xubuntu 64-bit [17:06] maybe i should revert to older ati drivers? (hibernation does not work with them [17:07] 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] mmm keyboard froze itself.. neither numlock works.. [17:09] nikolam: have you looked at the bug reports? maybe there is a workaround... [17:10] nikolam: I had something similar with nvidia, disabling agp helped then [17:10] Yes, I think that the best workaround is NOT to use ATI products at all.. [17:11] hi, could anybody help me with my boot problem ?? [17:11] Its binary driver after all.. [17:11] mindframe, shoot [17:11] hehe [17:11] missed [17:12] :) [17:12] the system wount boot up even with the live cd it stops at the busybox with an abnormal modprobe exit [17:13] it's due to hard disks, cuz i have 2 and as i unplug one of'em everything goes fine [17:13] then, any clue ??? [17:13] maybe you need to adjust boot order of disks in your computer BIOS [17:13] i forgot, it's a p3 with 2 ide drives [17:13] nah [17:14] the grub loads [17:14] but the problem is when initiating the drivers [17:14] 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] but there is nothing related to boot order [17:15] drivers? You were just saying you cannot boot when you add second hdd [17:15] cuz i could switch to whatever i want [17:15] and i think i know how to deal with those stuff [17:15] yes, i mean the boat loader loads [17:15] then here, we're already done with the boot order [17:16] as the xubunto logo appears [17:16] a few moments later [17:16] it says that there was an abnormal exit of modprobe [17:16] look at the /boot/grub/manu.lst and /boot/grub/device.map [17:16] and i get the the initramfs shell [17:17] 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] not that too [17:17] i tell you that some of the drivers loads [17:17] then nothing related to grub settings [17:17] i didn't try to remove the quiet option [17:17] mindoverflow: if you remove the 'quiet' option, you will be able to see what exactly fails [17:18] ok, ill be traying it [17:18] and i'l be back in a while [17:18] thank you [17:18] 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. === nikolam is now known as nikolam-away [17:35] well, i'm back [17:36] employing the noisy option [17:36] it stops at [17:37] alert! /dev/disk/...ef60.... doesn't exist dropping to shell [17:38] well, maybe this cuz i installed xubuntu plugging only one drive and know i'm booting with 2 disks [17:39] but before there is the udev-event[2086] modprobe abnormal exit [17:39] the same as i get when loading the live cd [17:41] Is anyone aware of an issue on gutsy amd64 where the usb keyboard and/or mouse lock up after some uptime? [17:42] Also, it seems around every 3rd boot I have a fan (HDD? GPU?) running 100% (noisy). Right now it's quiet though. [17:43] mindoverflow: edit your /etc/fstab and use somethng like /dev/sda1 instead of UUID [17:43] ok, i'll try [17:44] but what about the udev event 2086 [17:44] mindoverflow: and same with the root= option for the kernel in your /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:44] mindoverflow: no idea, you might want to google for it [17:44] cuz it's this one that i'm getting when loading from the live cd [17:44] that's what i'm doing :) [17:45] cuz the disk not found is an error that happens only from my installed system [17:45] but prior to this i was getting the modprobe problem [17:45] the thing that i'm still getting but it's being ignored and stops at the final alert [17:48] having problems with usb, any help? [17:49] TheSheep: how would the fstab become ? [17:49] actually it's [17:49] UUID=ef608042-9080-43ef-96ea-47a980d5671a / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [17:53] that way probabely [17:53] /dev/hdb2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [17:57] ok, gona replug the other disk, and retry [17:57] i'll be back [18:09] back [18:09] TheSheep: not yet [18:09] an other problem i forgot to tell you about wich is [18:10] check root=bootarg car /proc/cmdline [18:10] i'm gona try to fix it [18:10] and missing modules, device cat /proc/modules [18:11] is there any module i got to look for it or include it ??

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