[00:14] <Yashy> So I just installed xubuntu 7.10 i386 where I had xubuntu 7.10 amd64. Even though uname -a shows SMP, when I do "grep core /proc/cpuinfo" it's only saying 1 cpu core. It was recognizing the dual core under xubuntu amd64
[00:24] <Yashy> Linux delly 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[00:24] <zoredache> Yashy: I am pretty sure the 'uname -a' is just telling you the kernel was compiled with the SNP functionality
[00:24] <zoredache> not that it detected a SMP processor
[00:24] <Yashy> Any idea why it's only detecting an SMP processor?
[00:25] <zoredache> how many, and what kind of processors do you have?
[00:25] <Yashy> AMD 64 X2 5000+  (dual core amd)
[00:25] <Yashy> dmesg | grep CPU shows
[00:25] <Yashy> [    5.316000] CPU #1 not responding - cannot use it.
[00:25] <Yashy> [    5.468000] Brought up 1 CPUs
[00:25] <Yashy> Not sure why #1 isn't responding?
[00:26] <Yashy> Worked fine under amd64 xubuntu
[00:26] <zoredache> did you try googling that messsage?
[00:26] <Yashy> [    0.000000] SLUB: Genslabs=22, HWalign=64, Order=0-1, MinObjects=4, CPUs=2, Nodes=1
[00:28] <zoredache> this seems to be a common issue, I am getting several hits on google... I am not seeing a solution though
[00:28] <Yashy> yeah, I searched online before asking here
[00:29] <zoredache> serveral people seem to think that a using a newer kernel makes things work
[00:31] <zoredache> a couple people seem to think booting with the 'noapic' kernel helps
[00:37] <Yashy> noapic didn't fix my issue
[00:37] <philphoto> ok so I did multiple reboots measuring boot time after changing various lines in /boot/grub/menu.lst  and still my boot time is no faster than 3:20.  any advice on how to speed this up?
[00:38] <Yashy> philphoto: Applications -> System -> Services # remove as many as possible
[00:38] <zoredache> philphoto: why are you adjusting the menu.lst to change the boot time, and what are you calling 'booted'?
[00:39] <philphoto> zoredache: I'm measuring boot time from bios post to login screen
[00:40] <zoredache> adjust grub only tweaks kernel options which is a small part of the boot process
[00:41] <zoredache> there is the starting of services and such that also take up a significate ammount of time...  Follow Yashy's advice to get edit things in a gui
[00:44] <philphoto> which services don't I need?  by stopping them at boot will i be cutting out anything the system normally relies on?
[00:45] <philphoto> zoredache: i also can't get that splash screen to work.  I login with three minutes of black screen.  I'd like a splash or even text showing me what's going on
[00:45] <zoredache> philphoto: yes, stopping services will reduce functionality...  As for which ones you don't need, you'll probably have to google for that
[00:45] <philphoto> right, right
[01:07] <Yashy> Anyone have any other ideas on how I get my my dual-core CPU recognized properly?
[01:32] <Tailsfan> Hi, Which Packages do I install to get the properitary codecs for Xubuntu
[01:34] <neur1> did you go to add/remove and get ubuntu restricted
[01:38] <Tailsfan> neur1, no, but I will try, I have to wait for Xubuntu to install on my Desktop, then install ndiswrapper and get my Wi-Fi Adapter Recognized
[01:39] <somerville32> xubuntu-restricted-extra
[01:40] <somerville32> *extras
[01:40] <Tailsfan> Thanks, I'm installing Xubuntu now on my Desktop (that is all my rig can support :))
[01:40] <Tailsfan> I have a old Compaq Deskpro
[01:40] <somerville32> :]
[01:41] <Tailsfan> but for my internet, it can be a piece of crap
[01:42] <heavenlyblade101> allo all
[01:43] <Tailsfan> Hello
[01:45] <Tailsfan> It's SO old, it doesn't even have ACPI
[01:45] <Tailsfan> and Xubuntu has Shutdown probs, I have to turn my OC iff hard
[01:45] <Tailsfan> PC*
[01:47] <heavenlyblade101> hey, i was thinking about puting Xubuntu on my lappy, if i do that is there anyway to have XP as my primary os and not use grub?
[01:48] <Tailsfan> Why?
[01:48] <heavenlyblade101> i dont like the grub loader and i wanna be able to just toss in an XP disk and format the drive if i dont want linux anymore.
[01:49] <Tailsfan> Oh
[01:49] <Tailsfan> Acronis Boot Loader is all I can think of
[01:50] <Tailsfan> and there are some boot Loaders on Ultimate Boot CD
[01:50] <heavenlyblade101> when u dual boot two windows os' you get a default boot loader, i wanna use that one
[01:53] <ron_o> anyone know of an application that can read what manufacturer a DVD comes from?
[01:57] <neur1> heya somerville32 what version are you using?
[01:57] <somerville32> 8.04
[01:58] <neur1> did you ever try to get fluxbox working?
[01:58] <neur1> or does it come with it?
[01:59] <somerville32> no, I run Xubuntu
[02:00] <neur1> with xfce, but you never tried to get fluxbox working with it?
[02:01] <somerville32> No
[02:01] <heavenlyblade101> sorry, i was afk.
[02:01] <heavenlyblade101> no one knows how to use the ms dos boot loader to run ubuntu?
[02:01] <neur1> i was gonna try to, because xfce is still a little to much for my laptop
[02:02] <neur1> a ibm 600e with 288ram
[02:02] <heavenlyblade101> whats xfce? lol sorry, total n00b
[02:03] <neur1> the default desktop manager that comes with xubuntu
[02:03] <heavenlyblade101> oh
[02:03] <neur1> like ubuntu has gnome
[02:04] <heavenlyblade101> i see, now i know waht ya mean
[02:04] <neur1> it confused me too lol
[02:05] <neur1> because xfce looks like gnome
[02:05] <heavenlyblade101> lol
[02:05] <heavenlyblade101> yeah, its just faster
[02:07] <heavenlyblade101> so to aviod grub, could i install xubuntu, and THEN XP or is there a choice to instal grub?
[02:08] <ron_o> you have to install XP first then linux..
[02:08] <ron_o> XP will take over your master boot record.
[02:08] <neur1> if you install xp after xubuntu it'll erace it i think because xp doesn't see it
[02:09] <heavenlyblade101> oh.
[02:09] <ron_o> and you want grub..
[02:09] <ron_o> the thing is when you install grub after XP for a dual boot, you'll need to kind of manually tell grub where XP is..
[02:09] <ron_o> a dual boot isn't easy, mine you.
[02:10] <heavenlyblade101> no lol i dont, last time i had grub on a system i couldnt get rid of it, i had to pull the drive, slave it, then format it
[02:10] <ron_o> then you want Lilo?
[02:10] <ron_o> lilo is much harder to use than grub.
[02:11] <ron_o> yah, because grub took over your master book record. However, there were probably easier ways to get rid of it than what you did.
[02:11] <heavenlyblade101> i want the boot loader that xp uses lol, if u dual boot XP then u get a microsoft boot loader
[02:11] <ron_o> you can't use XPs boot loader with a dual boot with linux.
[02:12] <zenrox> you can but its a pain
[02:12] <ron_o> just like you can't have your cake and eat it too.
[02:12] <ron_o> zenrox, well *he* can't. :)
[02:12] <zenrox> grub is better at handling linux and xp
[02:12] <ron_o> I couldn't do that.
[02:12]  * ron_o doesn't use Windows anymore. :_)
[02:12] <ron_o> what a relief.. :)
[02:12]  * heavenlyblade101 needs windows on his lappy, he was raised with it lol
[02:13] <zenrox> so was i but i changed that
[02:13] <ron_o> well, after I had to reinstall windows98 two years ago I decided instead to go the linux route. It was way easier than dealing with reinstalling everything I had with Windows.
[02:13] <heavenlyblade101> i would gladly put xubuntu or ubuntu on this lappy but i dont wanna take any risks with it.
[02:13] <ron_o> then don't do it.
[02:14] <heavenlyblade101> thats why i want to have linux as a secondary
[02:14] <heavenlyblade101> lol
[02:14] <ron_o> make backups.. or live with the consequences.
[02:14] <zenrox> i dual boot win and linux on a friends lappy
[02:14] <neur1> i dual boot
[02:14] <heavenlyblade101> whith what boot loader?
[02:14] <zenrox> and kept his restor partion
[02:14] <zenrox> grub
[02:14] <ron_o> it's a pain to do that. I had to buy PartitionMagic some years back to get it done.
[02:15] <zenrox> dont need toi do it any more
[02:15] <heavenlyblade101> with grub, an u have XP as the primary, so you dont automaticly boot to linux?
[02:15] <ron_o> Windows even throws some arbitrary files/applications in the end/middle of the hard drive.. no doubt for this reason.
[02:15] <zenrox> ubuntu's partion editor off of the live cd handels the resizing of a windows partion
[02:15] <ron_o> zenrox, no, there are great p... you said it. :)
[02:15] <zenrox> lol
[02:16] <ron_o> anyway, heavenlyblade101, even dual booting with linux has its problems. It's not really for amateurs.
[02:16] <ron_o> with computers, if something bad can happen it will.
[02:17] <heavenlyblade101> i know a fair bit about computers its just linux, lol
[02:17] <ron_o> the thing I love about linux is if you really want an application you can get it -- for free. And it's safe without malware and secure.
[02:18] <ron_o> heavenlyblade101, well, you don't sound too sophisticated to me. You said you wanted Xubuntu with Windows w/o risk.
[02:18] <heavenlyblade101> is it still illegal to edit windows programs on linux lol
[02:18] <ron_o> 'illegal'?
[02:18] <heavenlyblade101> and lol i just meant with little risk
[02:19] <ron_o> well, whatever term you use, it's risky.. the risk is proportional to your knowledge of both OSs.
[02:19] <heavenlyblade101> ha yeah, that is true.
[02:20] <ron_o> good luck.  :)
[02:20] <Yashy> I'm having two issues as a result of my NVIDIA driver in the restricted drivers category. If I remove it, xfce will only let me do 800x600. Is there another easy alternative that I can remove this proprietary broken driver and yet still do 1600x1200?
[02:21] <zenrox> add 1600x1200 to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for the bitrate you use
[02:21] <zenrox> leave the driver installed
[02:22] <zenrox> SysInfo: Linux 2.6.24-10-generic |  Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.00GHz 1999.978 MHz | Bogomips: 4004.22 | Mem: 489/757M [||||||||||] | Diskspace: 109.32G Free: 25.23G | Procs: 101 | Uptime: 15 mins 47 secs  | Load: 0.53 1.58 1.45  | Vpenis: 229349.2 in | Screen: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1) @ 3200x1200 (32 bpp) | eth0: In: 23.65M Out: 41.31M
[02:22] <zenrox> Sensors: CPU:temp2 Fan: 0 RPM Case:temp1 Fan:fan1
[02:22] <Yashy> with the driver installed, one of the issuesis frequent "screen locks" (I lose access to the mouse)
[02:23] <zenrox> what video card
[02:23] <zenrox> and os
[02:23] <Yashy> [GeForce 6150 LE] xubuntu 7.10 i386
[02:24] <zenrox> are u using the nvidia-new-glx
[02:24] <zenrox> if not install that
[02:24] <Yashy> ii  nvidia-glx-new                             100.14.19+2.6.22.4-14.10                  NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'new' driver
[02:25] <zenrox> ok remove that and the l-r-m and get that driver from nvidia and install it manualy
[02:25] <zenrox> thare are nice howtos on the forums
[02:27] <neur1> thanks guys
[02:27] <Yashy> actually I shouldn't assume it's the nvidia driver, I just see other people mention it online
[02:27] <Yashy> My issue is usually within 10 minutes of booting the OS, the mouse locks up
[02:27] <Yashy> keyboard still works, and everything else
[02:27] <zenrox> might just be a config issue of a board issue
[02:28] <zenrox> of=or
[02:29] <zenrox> Yashy: also to get the 169.12 driver from nvidia.com
[03:25] <Yashy> I'm having the same issues as mentioned at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=488073 Any advice on how to debug?
[03:25]  * j1mc looks
[03:26] <Yashy> frequent mouse lockups
[03:26] <j1mc> so the mouse just stops moving?  it doesn't disappear, right?
[03:26] <Yashy> usually within 10 minutes of rebooting. Not sure how to unlock it without rebooting either, and nothing in /var/log* about the error
[03:27] <Yashy> correct, it's still there you just can't move it
[03:27] <j1mc> wow... hm. i've never heard of that.
[03:27] <j1mc> did you find any other examples on the web of that happening?
[03:28] <j1mc> like, maybe even for other distros?
[03:28] <Yashy> I've got a dell c521, and those in that thread have an e521 dell. Or could be the fact they are all daal core amd64 boxes <shrug>
[03:29] <Artem> Does anyone have experience with getting wifi cards working?
[03:29] <Artem> I'm kinda stuck.
[03:29] <j1mc> artem, what card are you using, and what version of xubuntu are you using?
[03:30] <Yashy> Artem: Do you have a specific question?
[03:30] <Artem> Wait, maybe I found what I need.
[03:30] <Artem> And sorry, I'm still really new at this.
[03:30] <Yashy> j1mc: seems to be xubuntu specific from the links I've seen
[03:31] <j1mc> Yashy: i'm not sure how i can help with that issue.... let me research a bit.
[03:32] <j1mc> Yashy: can you enter things into the keyboard?
[03:32] <j1mc> does that work?
[03:36] <Yashy> yes
[03:36] <Yashy> keyboard still works
[03:36] <Yashy> and I can ssh in remotely still
[03:36] <Yashy> just the pointer that seems to be affected
[03:37] <j1mc> hrm.  thanks.
[03:39] <j1mc> Yashy: what kind of graphics card do you have, and what driver do you use?
[03:42] <Yashy> GeForce 6150 LE
[03:43] <Yashy> ii  nvidia-glx-new                             100.14.19+2.6.22.4-14.10                  NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'new' driver
[03:43] <Yashy> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=279626 seems many people having this issue
[03:44] <Yashy> on page 6 now of the thread, seems that linux kernel sending power to USB devices is finicky, and that is the reason. Apparently if you use a powered USB hub for your mouse, this will not occur
[03:44] <j1mc> thanks for that info, Yashy.  which version of xubuntu are you running?
[03:44] <Yashy> strange there is no mention of other USB devices being affected, including the stock USB keyboard
[03:45] <Yashy> xubuntu 7.10 on i386, I had the same issue on amd64 of the same
[03:45] <j1mc> ok.  weird.
[03:45] <Yashy> (I switched to i386 today hoping it would go away, but it exists in i386 as well)
[03:45] <j1mc> right
[03:45] <j1mc> were you using the proprietary nvidia driver in amd64, too?
[03:46] <Yashy> yup
[03:47] <j1mc> it is kind of weird that those posts are from 2006... and it's the same issue
[03:51] <j1mc> Yashy: ... that seems to be a good thread, at least the end of it.
[03:52] <j1mc> i would suggest updating your bios, and checking to make sure plug'n'play is enabled in your bios.
[03:52] <j1mc> of course, the nvidia driver is closed source, too... so we can't really do much to fix it (if that is the problem)
[03:53]  * Yashy is trying now with "acpi=off irqpoll pci=routeirq"
[03:53] <j1mc> so you may want to go back to the regular "nv" driver if this continues to happen.  of course, that means no 3-d rendering.
[03:53] <j1mc> ok... good luck.  i need to go off and do some work now.
[03:53] <Yashy> yup, I'm on dell's site looking for the BIOS update now
[03:53] <j1mc> :)  cool.
[03:53] <Yashy> Thanks for helping, I appreciate it.
[03:53] <j1mc> i hope things work out.
[04:38] <PsynoKhi0> hey, does a USB stick require a fstab entry to work properly?
[04:41] <somerville32> PsynoKhi0: It shouldn't
[04:41] <somerville32> Thunar volume manager should mount it for you
[04:43] <PsynoKhi0> mount works now, but once thunar starts browsing the files I get roughly 10 seconds before HAL crashes onmy USB
[04:43] <PsynoKhi0> I have to modprobe it to get it back
[04:44] <PsynoKhi0> brb
[05:15] <PsynoKhi0> back... got it to work fine a week agao, haven't touched the PC since and for some reason it's poo now
[05:28] <Artem> Can someone please help me figure out how to install ndiswrapper? I've got xubuntu 6.06 alternate, if that helps. Sorry to bother, but at my level of comprehension as of so far, I can't really get anything to work.
[05:31] <ere4si> Artem, go to applications - system - synaptic package manager and open that - click the search button and type   ndiswrapper   and hit enter - then right click the box for it and choose install
[05:33] <ere4si> I would select ndisgtk - the dependencies will automatically be installed with it
[05:35] <Artem> What's ndisgtk?
[05:37] <Artem> Heh, never mind. Google is my friend.
[05:37] <ere4si> Artem: it is the graphical frontend to ndiswrapper - a window for it so you don't have to use command line
[05:38] <ere4si> Artem, if you click a package in synaptic an explanation about it appears at the bottom
[05:40] <Artem> I did a search for ndisgtk, but couldn't find anything. I installed ndiswrapper, do I have to restart for changes to apply?
[05:41] <ere4si> Artem: open a terminal and type ndiswrapper - if it is ready it will start - which xubuntu are you on?
[05:41] <Artem> 6.06 alternate?
[05:42] <ere4si> !info ndiswrapper
[05:42] <ubotu> Package ndiswrapper does not exist in gutsy
[05:42] <ere4si> !ndiswrapper
[05:42] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:44] <ere4si> Artem, click on the settings menu in synaptic - then repositories - and make sure all for edgy are selected
[05:45] <Artem> edgy?
[05:46] <ere4si> sorry - dapper then Artem ...
[05:46] <Artem> Sorry...
[05:46] <Artem> Thanks a bunch for helping me out.
[05:46] <ere4si> Artem, the ndisgtk is probably in the universe or multiverse repositories
[05:47] <ere4si> Artem, that's what this chat channel is for :)
[05:50] <Artem> *Sigh* Where can I find repositories?
[05:51] <Artem> Although, I'm getting an error, "Could not download all repository indexes"
[05:52] <ere4si> Artem, at the top there's    file edit package settings help    click settings then click repositories - that's how it is on my gutsy install
[05:52] <Pharserror> is there any reason I shouldn't have access to the chkconfig command in Ubuntu?
[05:52] <ere4si> sudo first?
[05:53] <ere4si> Artem, don't know why that would happen
[05:53] <ere4si> !ndiswrapper | Artem
[05:53] <ubotu> Artem: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:54] <Artem> I'm not connected to the net on the machine in question, so maybe it can't download the necessary repositories?
[05:54] <Pharserror> ere4si, I've already used sudo -s
[05:54] <Pharserror> so im at root level
[05:54] <ere4si> Artem, of course - that would make it hard
[05:56] <Artem> Heh.
[05:56] <ere4si> Pharserror, I don't have chkconfig on my comp so have no more suggestions - does seem strange tho
[05:57] <Pharserror> why is it that you don't have it either? do you know how to get it?
[05:57] <Artem> So, with no ethernet connector, I can't access the files on the internet to get my network card running so I can go onto the internet. Talk about a recursive situation. ;>
[05:59] <ere4si> Artem, you can walk the packages to the other comp with a mem stick
[06:00] <Artem> Is working with ndiswrapper from the terminal that hard?
[06:00] <ere4si> Pharserror, what does it do - is it in synaptic?
[06:01] <Pharserror> it's for managing the rc[0-6].d directory tree
[06:01] <ere4si> Pharserror, there's the sysv-rc package for doing that in synaptic
[06:02] <Pharserror> i'll check synaptic, but an apt-get install chkconfig doesn't produce anything
[06:02] <Pharserror> ere4si, the tutorial I'm following for setting up this LAMP server calls for this specific command
[06:04] <ere4si> Pharserror, the first two google results for it are red hat based
[06:04] <ere4si> Pharserror, it is not in synaptic at all
[06:04] <Pharserror> hmm
[06:04] <Pharserror> damn redhat shit
[06:04] <ere4si> Pharserror, sysv-rc will let you change services in runlevels
[06:05] <Pharserror> ere4si, can I get that through apt-get install sysv-rc -y?
[06:05] <ere4si> Pharserror, yep
[06:06] <ere4si> Pharserror, what's the -y?
[06:06] <Pharserror> ere4si, shorthand for --install-dependencies
[06:06] <ere4si> k
[06:25] <Pharserror> exit
[07:05] <rabiddachshund> what are the minimum specs required for xubuntu?
[07:06] <Artem> depends.
[07:06] <Artem> I know that it runs on 64MB Ram.. actually, let me get you the site.
[07:06] <rabiddachshund> How about an original pentium and 80MB ram?
[07:06] <Artem> http://www.xubuntu.org/get
[07:07] <Artem> Scroll to minimum system requirements.
[07:07] <rabiddachshund> I've got the alternate so 80MB ram should be fine but it just doesn't want to boot up.
[07:08] <Artem> Ah, did you do the OEM install?
[07:08] <rabiddachshund> It takes 10+ minutes and just stops.
[07:08] <rabiddachshund> nah, text mode
[07:08] <Artem> Hrmm. Strange.
[07:09] <Artem> But I don't really know.
[07:09] <rabiddachshund> I can try the recovery mode (or whatever the second option is) and it gives an error about no screens present.
[07:09] <Artem> Someone more knowledgeable should be able to help you. :> There are plenty of them here.
[07:09] <Artem> ...somewhere.
[07:09] <rabiddachshund> well, actually it does boot up into a terminal but when I try to start X it gives that error.
[07:09] <rabiddachshund> heh.
[07:10] <rabiddachshund> wait... Artem. Is that short for Artemeis?
[07:10] <rabiddachshund> or Artemaeis?
[07:11] <Artem> No, no. Just Artem.
[07:11] <rabiddachshund> Oh, nvm then.
[07:11] <rabiddachshund> Thanks though.

[11:38] <Hibby> afternoon
[11:40] <Hibby> slight unusual problem - can use my panels at the top and bottom but I can't see them
[11:40] <LeAstrale> sounds strange to me
[11:40] <Hibby> but only after I've started compiz
[11:41] <LeAstrale> why use compiz at all? it just an ethernal Beta version
[11:41] <Hibby> true, but so is gmail and I use that ;)
[11:42] <Hibby> wait
[11:42] <Hibby> managed to get the panels back
[11:42] <LeAstrale> Hibby: i haven't used compiz on Xubuntu so im not the right person to answer the question
[11:42] <Hibby> by changing desktops
[11:42] <Hibby> thats a random bug. Aye well.
[11:42] <LeAstrale> must be :)
[11:42]  * LeAstrale is listening to 33 - Def Leppard - High 'n' Dry (Saturday Night) [Amarok]

[15:03] <whitman> I've got a HP LaserJet 4050N attached to the computer, running xbuntu 7.10, via parallel port.  I've added the printer but trying to print a test page does nothing.  I get a message saying it has been submitted as job x but the printer doesn't do anything.
[15:21] <whitman> Progress. I've installed the printer via the LPT option rather than directly selecting the printer and now the print jobs go to the printer, but it tries to use Tray 1 even though Tray 2 is set in the options.
[15:39] <Shinjin> Can anyone here help me with a small problem?
[15:40] <TheSheep> !anyone | Shinjin
[15:40] <ubotu> Shinjin: 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?
[15:40] <Shinjin> Okay, I usually just ask that to make sure someones here though. Anyway. How do I edit what appears in my applications menu?
[15:41] <Shinjin> I have the menu editor open but I can't edit the part that says ---include---
[15:41] <TheSheep> settings->menu editor
[15:41] <TheSheep> that part is generated automatically from files installed with your applications
[15:42] <TheSheep> but you can add to it or override the entries
[15:42] <Shinjin> But I installed something and want to remove it from the menu because wine didn't
[15:42] <Shinjin> How?
[15:42] <TheSheep> just make your own entries called the same way above it
[15:42] <TheSheep> (and in submenus called the same way)
[15:42] <Shinjin> But I want to remove something
[15:43] <TheSheep> why?
[15:43] <Shinjin> Cause I don't have it anymore and that folder is already really full
[15:44] <TheSheep> if you uninstalled it, the menu entry should have been uninstalled with it
[15:44] <Shinjin> But it wasn't
[15:44] <TheSheep> then report a bug to wherever you got the application from
[15:45] <TheSheep> it means it left files behind
[15:45] <Shinjin> I'm sure they won't care since it's a windows application.
[15:45] <TheSheep> ah, windows, you should have said that
[15:45] <Shinjin> I said it was ran with wine
[15:46] <TheSheep> sorry, must have missed that
[15:46] <TheSheep> check the .local/share/applications/ in you home directory
[15:46] <TheSheep> and .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/
[15:48] <Shinjin> How do I get to the local one?

[17:22] <nazdalf> i am using xubuntu 7.10 btw......and it has xscreensaver-gl installed
[19:47] <killfr0g> hey, trying to install xubuntu 7.10 64-bit on my quad core machine, i see the initial screen after booting off the cd, then i select install/run xubuntu, it loads up the kernel then i get a blank screen. it loads from the cd for a while and seems to be accessing my hdd drives then my pc goes dead. any ideas?
[19:53] <zoredache_> killfr0g: I would start with a check of the md5sums if you haven't already, I would also try the alternate-installer, also you could try booting with the noapic option
