| beautifulsnow | Alright this is going to be fun... I only have a ntfs external drive, so I wonder if i can boot from ubuntu live cd and format my hard drive with a /home, then copy from my home to the new /home >_> then format root, then install ubuntu-server + apps | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| beautifulsnow | Format the ext3 linux drive where I have ubuntu that is :P | 00:01 |
| ere4si | any usb sticks you can use beautifulsnow ? | 00:03 |
| beautifulsnow | you mean, to transfer my /home to ? | 00:03 |
| ere4si | yep | 00:03 |
| beautifulsnow | Wont that erase file permissions? | 00:03 |
| ere4si | easier then the ntfs external | 00:03 |
| ere4si | it's your /home | 00:04 |
| beautifulsnow | Mmm I have a ntfs external usb, unfortunately I can't/dont want to format it to ext3, so no go there :'( | 00:08 |
| ere4si | beautifulsnow, you can save to that then install ntfs-3g to recover later | 00:10 |
| beautifulsnow | About the hardware detection thing on #ubuntu: when I install Kubuntu, my keyboard media keys and the mouse media keys don't work, wireless doens't work. On Ubuntu install it's 100% perfect though. | 00:10 |
| ere4si | k - I never have the h/ware issues others have so am always confident - might need to research somemore before you leap then | 00:11 |
| beautifulsnow | Oh okay, I was thinking that ntfs file system would strip away my home folder user permissions, but if you say its ok, i'll give it a shot :-) | 00:11 |
| beautifulsnow | Right, I'm one of those lucky people too :P | 00:11 |
| ere4si | you seem to not have the file permissions right - if you copy a file into your /home from an external source you own - doesn't matter where it came from beautifulsnow | 00:14 |
| ere4si | *own it | 00:14 |
| beautifulsnow | mmm youre probably right. I was working over ssh on my website yesterday, and created a folder & uploaded 2 files into it. On the web browser, I went to that location, and it said I didn't have permissions to see the image I had uploaded. | 00:15 |
| beautifulsnow | That probably messed up my sense of permissions ;p | 00:16 |
| ere4si | k :) | 00:16 |
| beautifulsnow | So I went to file properties, had to adjust them for the folder ;) Well Im giving this reinstall a try anyway ;) Thank you veerrrry much for the chat ! :P | 00:16 |
| ere4si | ssh to a website is diff to your local /home | 00:16 |
| ere4si | lots of luck :) | 00:17 |

| acalbaza | hi, does anyone else experience random firefox crashing? | 02:42 |
| ere4si | mine goes ok - what are you doing when it crashes? | 02:43 |
| acalbaza | simple browsing... havent found a pattern yet. it just closes up, not error or anything. | 02:43 |
| beautifulsnow | ... it's been so long since I used a 'non user friendly' linux distro, that I completely forgot about ALT+CTRL+F1-F8 ... | 02:44 |

| Pharserror | anyone know how I would make my windows box able to see my ubuntu LAMP server? | 03:56 |
| Pharserror | all I've got is a command line from the server | 03:56 |
| ere4si | Pharserror, that sounds like you need samba installed | 03:57 |
| Pharserror | ere4si, ok I used apt-get to get it the other day and I changed the workgroup to the appropriate on in the smb.conf file | 03:57 |
| ere4si | Pharserror, samba is something I don't use - all I know is you have to set up a shared file/dir | 03:58 |
| zoredache | Pharserror: how are you looking for it? The windows 'network neighborhood' is stupid... | 03:58 |
| Pharserror | ere4si, I see. I'll have to look up a tut then s'pose | 03:59 |
| zoredache | once you setup samba try connecting to the server by UNC either \\ipaddress or \\servername | 03:59 |
| ere4si | Pharserror, zoredache ishere | 03:59 |
| ere4si | &is here | 04:00 |
| ere4si | ** | 04:00 |
| Pharserror | ere4si, alright I'll give it a shot | 04:00 |

| slider2800 | Hi all | 07:44 |
| slider2800 | umm... i've got a little problem with my GUI... it won't start... can someone help? | 07:46 |
| TheSheep | slider2800: any details? | 07:46 |
| slider2800 | well.. the only thing i know is that i switched the GTK theme and then the panel dissappeared.. after i logged in again i've got no panel, no background, nothing... | 07:47 |
| slider2800 | i can log in, the "brown" background color comes in, but thats all.. i can start apps with ALT+F2 ( so i'm in from xterm+irssi ) | 07:48 |
| ere4si | was it the curve theme? | 07:51 |
| slider2800 | curve theme? um... ??? | 07:51 |
| slider2800 | sorry i still count as a n00b... | 07:51 |
| slider2800 | i set the UI theme to Xfce, then logged out, logged in.. still nothing | 07:52 |
| ere4si | type this and see if the panel restarts - pkill -USR1 xfce4-panel | 07:53 |
| slider2800 | no response | 07:54 |
| slider2800 | nope.. does nothing | 07:54 |
| ere4si | does typing - startxfce4 - do anything? | 07:55 |
| slider2800 | hmm | 07:56 |
| slider2800 | X server already running on display :0.0 | 07:56 |
| slider2800 | screensaver already running | 07:56 |
| slider2800 | another window manager is already running... | 07:57 |
| ere4si | k | 07:57 |
| ere4si | did you install another wm ? | 07:58 |
| slider2800 | pretty damn strange. never had anything like this before... though its the first time i installed Gutsy on my (pretty old) Compaq Deskpro | 07:58 |
| slider2800 | nope. | 07:58 |
| ere4si | what was the theme name? | 07:58 |
| slider2800 | just installed the whole system yesterday from an alternate-install cd | 07:58 |
| slider2800 | one sec | 07:58 |
| ere4si | k | 07:58 |
| H | hi guys, could anyone help with a wireless issue? | 07:59 |
| H | an* | 07:59 |
| slider2800 | theme : Innocent | 07:59 |
| ere4si | k brb | 07:59 |
| slider2800 | k. | 07:59 |
| slider2800 | whoops. wait. thats the one for xfwm | 07:59 |
| slider2800 | GTK is Clearloox | 07:59 |
| slider2800 | ks* | 08:00 |
| H | i think my xubuntu keeps on crashing when i try to connect to a wireless network...the caps lock keeps on flashing and i cant move the mouse.... | 08:00 |
| H | emhh..could anyone help me with that issue? | 08:01 |
| slider2800 | um... i'm not a pro on that either but do you have drivers installed for your wi-fi card? | 08:02 |
| H | yea | 08:02 |
| slider2800 | well. i dunno. is the card supported properly? | 08:03 |
| H | yeah..i found my router and when i try to connect it, it just freezes..the caps lock keeps on flashing...kinda weird | 08:03 |
| LeAstrale | H: could you post the output of lsusb on pastebin ? | 08:03 |
| slider2800 | that IS strange... | 08:03 |
| H | emhh..sure..if you could tell me how to do that..i'm unfamiliar with linux..to be honest.. | 08:04 |
| slider2800 | fire up a terminal... type lsusb | 08:04 |
| H | ight | 08:04 |
| H | Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 | 08:05 |
| H | that's what it says | 08:05 |
| LeAstrale | hmm | 08:06 |
| slider2800 | so no usb device is connected, right? .. btw i don't get it how that is related to the wlan stuff | 08:06 |
| LeAstrale | then try lspci | 08:06 |
| H | yeah i use a wireless card | 08:06 |
| H | on my laptop | 08:06 |
| slider2800 | is it built in or a PCIMCIA card? | 08:06 |
| LeAstrale | slider2800: just my head kicking in (i just stood out of bed) i have USB wifi... thats why i thought lsus first | 08:06 |
| LeAstrale | H: go to terminal and write lspci | 08:07 |
| slider2800 | oh okay then good morning for you :D | 08:07 |
| LeAstrale | and post the whole output on http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | 08:07 |
| H | haha okay thank you | 08:07 |
| LeAstrale | slider2800: thank you :) | 08:08 |
| slider2800 | yw :D | 08:08 |
| slider2800 | meanwhile i'm still trying to figure out how to fire up my GUI :P | 08:08 |
| LeAstrale | slider2800: new default install ? | 08:08 |
| slider2800 | huh? | 08:09 |
| LeAstrale | slider2800: how long is it since you have installed it ? | 08:09 |
| slider2800 | 12 hours | 08:10 |
| slider2800 | ...coz i ran a dist-upgrade yesterday and it kinda killed the system.. died off in the middle | 08:10 |
| slider2800 | from Feisty to Gutsy.. | 08:10 |
| slider2800 | so i burned myself a Gutsy alternate-install cd... | 08:10 |
| LeAstrale | slider2800: always do new installs, i have bad experience with dist upgrade | 08:10 |
| slider2800 | got the whole stuff installed in around one and a half hours | 08:11 |
| LeAstrale | haven't you had GUI on the gutsy yet ? | 08:11 |
| slider2800 | it was working well when i finished the install... | 08:11 |
| slider2800 | just this morning i started to customize the look of it as suddenly the panel died off... | 08:11 |
| LeAstrale | hmm | 08:11 |
| LeAstrale | then i dont think i can solve this for you | 08:12 |
| slider2800 | then i thought i log out, log in, and maybe thatll fix it.. but then i had no background either :P | 08:12 |
| LeAstrale | im mostly into Nvidia trouble and im pretty new to linux too | 08:12 |
| slider2800 | its okay. i try to figure it out somehow | 08:12 |
| ere4si | slider2800, does typing xfce-panel do anything? | 08:13 |
| slider2800 | heh. me too. however i've been using ubuntu since 2005, but very actively only for 5-6 months | 08:13 |
| slider2800 | w00t. i"ve got my panel back.. tho it was the xfce4-panel command... | 08:13 |
| slider2800 | hm. maybe i can fix it from here. | 08:14 |
| slider2800 | lol. that was ass weird... but had similar troubles before on Feisty... | 08:15 |
| slider2800 | in the Desktop Properties window, the 'Allow Xfce to manage the desktop' was unchecked | 08:15 |
| ere4si | it's back - great | 08:15 |
| slider2800 | yea. | 08:15 |
| slider2800 | thanks | 08:15 |
| ere4si | k | 08:15 |
| LeAstrale | thank god we have ere4si in here | 08:16 |
| slider2800 | god? thank Linux :D | 08:16 |

| ere4si | hehe - hope he can help LeAstrale | 08:16 |
| slider2800 | okay. i think its still too early here. | 08:16 |
| slider2800 | yea. me too. | 08:16 |
| slider2800 | i never had much luck with wireless under linux | 08:17 |
| ere4si | I've never bothered with it - cables are faster | 08:17 |
| slider2800 | yea... and you can fall over them so nicely ( personal experience ) | 08:17 |
| LeAstrale | ere4si: we have had that discussion :) | 08:17 |
| ere4si | :) | 08:17 |
| LeAstrale | however in 2-3 years im moving to a place with a 1gigabit fibre line | 08:18 |
| LeAstrale | :D | 08:18 |
| slider2800 | sweet | 08:18 |
| ere4si | 1G will be nice | 08:18 |

| H | ^ | 08:20 |
| slider2800 | so is it fixed? | 08:21 |
| H | haha no..i just posted the whole output on ubuntu.pastebin.com | 08:21 |
| slider2800 | oh okay. | 08:21 |

| LeAstrale | :) | 08:21 |

| H | oh okay..around europe := | 08:23 |
| LeAstrale | is your WIFI i suppose ? | 08:23 |
| H | yea | 08:23 |
| H | correct | 08:23 |
| LeAstrale | have you tried Ndiswrapper with the windows drivers ? | 08:23 |
| H | oh okay..germanys okay...but spain is warmer :) | 08:23 |
| LeAstrale | !ndiwswrapper | 08:23 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ndiwswrapper - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:23 |
| H | yeah..that is what i am running it with | 08:24 |
| LeAstrale | !wireless | 08:24 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 08:24 |
| LeAstrale | H: you might want to try a different set of drivers the | 08:24 |
| LeAstrale | ndiswrapper has a wiki where you can check up which drivers are available | 08:24 |
| H | oh..yeah..but i cant remove the old ones on ndiswrapper | 08:24 |
| slider2800 | k. i'm off... by all! and good luck with your wlan H... | 08:24 |
| H | it says access denied... | 08:24 |
| H | thanks :) have a good night! | 08:24 |
| H | or day :) | 08:24 |
| LeAstrale | sudo in front of it ? | 08:25 |
| slider2800 | thx | 08:25 |
| slider2800 | byeű | 08:25 |
| H | ciao! | 08:25 |
| LeAstrale | bye bye | 08:25 |
| H | mhh..i'll try it | 08:25 |
| H | oh it worked..hahah^...the deletion | 08:26 |
| H | i'll check out the wiki for any new drivers..thanks in advance | 08:26 |
| H | could you just help me with one more thing...because i have a second partition..but I cant gain access to it | 08:27 |
| H | it says i should change something in the fstab file..but I cant save my changes | 08:27 |
| H | do you know how i can save the changes..i mean..i have administre rights..but still | 08:27 |
| ere4si | H: you need to open the file with admin rights - open a terminal and type gksu mousepad /etc/fstab | 08:28 |
| H | oh okay :) thank you also for that | 08:29 |
| ere4si | be back in 30 min | 08:29 |
| LeAstrale | H: you have to access the fstab file from terminal with theses two in front: "sudo mousepad | 08:29 |
| LeAstrale | btw | 08:29 |
| H | oki doki :) thanks for your help | 08:29 |
| H | yes | 08:29 |
| LeAstrale | link is /etc/fstab | 08:30 |
| H | ight :) | 08:30 |
| LeAstrale | H: i have just read that your chio should be supported default in Kubuntu at least | 08:50 |
| H | oh okay...thank you..i am still at the wiki page..trying to find any additional information | 08:50 |
| H | i just dont know why i can find my router | 08:50 |
| H | but as soon as i try to connect i suppose it just freezes | 08:51 |
| H | since i cant move the mouse and the caps lock keeps on flashing | 08:51 |
| H | though i can open my cd drive | 08:51 |
| LeAstrale | cd drive might be strictly mechanical at that point | 08:52 |
| H | oh okay | 08:53 |
| H | i mean..i have removed the driver from ndiswrapper..and still seems to be recognized by the system..but it still freezes | 08:53 |
| LeAstrale | that might be because you haven't blacklisted the native driver? | 08:57 |
| H | mhh...that could also be a reason..but now that i have removed the driver from ndiswrapper the native should work at least? or not? | 08:58 |
| LeAstrale | H: the native driver could be malfunctioning for many reasons | 08:59 |
| LeAstrale | i suggest you find the name for it and banlist it | 08:59 |
| H | oh..okay..yea | 08:59 |
| LeAstrale | then try with ndis again | 08:59 |
| H | ight | 08:59 |
| H | thanks a lot for your help := | 08:59 |
| H | :) | 08:59 |
| H | umhh..can anyone tell me how to install ".ko" files? It is a driver | 10:01 |

| ere4si | !hi | 14:02 |
| ubotu | Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! | 14:02 |
| thoht | i m running xubuntu livecd currently and d'like to install it on hard disk but failed a 45% of the install | 14:03 |
| thoht | is there a way to run the install without the gui ? | 14:03 |
| ere4si | you need to d/load the alternate install cd for that thoht | 14:08 |
| thoht | ere4si: where ? | 14:13 |
| thoht | i m on a eeepc | 14:13 |
| ere4si | thoht: www.ubuntu.com - has the alternate listed with the normal desktop one | 14:14 |
| thoht | ere4si: but on the livecd there is an option to do a real install from it | 14:20 |
| thoht | with ubiquity installer | 14:20 |
| ere4si | thoht: I haven't used the live cd any other way except live and then installed | 14:22 |
| ere4si | thoht: was there an error message? - or was it seemingly hung at 45%? | 14:24 |
| thoht | ere4si: it said that there is an I/O error and suggest me to verify CDROM | 14:24 |
| thoht | (but there is no cdrom, the livecd is installed on a SD card) | 14:24 |
| ere4si | thoht: did the md5 on the sd go ok? | 14:25 |
| thoht | hum it seems no | 14:27 |
| thoht | root@ubuntu:/media/disk/eeexubuntu-7.10.3# cat md5.txt | 14:28 |
| thoht | 26a82f7a2e6b1d9cdf675e896ef7135a eeexubuntu-7.10.3-desktop-i386.iso | 14:28 |

| thoht | is it the correct way ? | 14:28 |
| ere4si | thoht: I have only checked the cd from boot - but we'll find out | 14:30 |
| ere4si | !md5 | 14:30 |
| ubotu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 14:30 |

| CaptainPlanet | hey, anyone here? | 20:07 |
| CaptainPlanet | I'm looking for a lil help getting DRI working on my Rage Mobility M3 | 20:07 |
| mjw- | i'm here | 20:18 |
| mjw- | heh | 20:18 |
| mjw- | CaptainPlanet The correct x.org driver for the m3 is "r128" and I think, and problems with getting DRI working is a lack of video memory at the resolution/bit depth you're trying to use | 20:22 |
| CaptainPlanet | hmmm, interesting. I'm trying to use 16bpp @ 1024x7768 | 20:27 |
| CaptainPlanet | here is my xorg.conf | 20:29 |
| CaptainPlanet | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57991/ | 20:29 |
| CaptainPlanet | i'll replace "ati" with "r128" and see how that goes | 20:31 |
| CaptainPlanet | i think I have tried that but i'll give it another shot | 20:31 |
| mjw- | you don't happen to know how much video memory it has do you | 20:33 |
| mjw- | nevermind, I see you manually specified it as 8 megs... | 20:34 |
| CaptainPlanet | yeah, changing to r128 didn't seem to change much | 20:37 |
| mjw- | in theory 1024x768@16bpp should work to get DRI | 20:37 |
| mjw- | with 8 megs | 20:37 |
| mjw- | does your busid in the xorg.conf have a type? I believe the syntax is "PCI:01:00.0" not "PCI:01:00:0" ? | 20:39 |
| CaptainPlanet | say that it not right | 20:40 |
| CaptainPlanet | lemme fix that | 20:40 |
| mjw- | and are you sure you have 8192k of video ram? | 20:40 |
| CaptainPlanet | not sure about the vram, here is lspci: | 20:45 |
| CaptainPlanet | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57994/ | 20:46 |
| mjw- | yeah lspci really doesn't list the amount on it, which is frustrating | 20:47 |
| mjw- | I think the 64M is like the AGP aperture or something | 20:47 |
| CaptainPlanet | x is in compatibility mode now, i'm thinking about starting over from the backup | 20:48 |
| CaptainPlanet | i'm guessing it wasn't applying any of those settings since the bus id was wrong | 20:48 |
| mjw- | if it only has 4MB, it probably won't be enough for DRI at 1024x768 | 20:48 |
| CaptainPlanet | it is an inspiron 4000... i may need to look it up with dell | 20:50 |
| CaptainPlanet | looks like it could be 4 or 8 | 20:50 |
| mjw- | I have an ATI radeon mobility M7 w/16MB on a circa 2002 laptop, and it just barely can do DRI at 1024x768@24bpp | 20:51 |
| CaptainPlanet | oh, great. the only reason I need it is for xbmc | 20:55 |
| mjw- | how old is this laptop? | 20:58 |
| CaptainPlanet | shipped on 7/01 | 20:59 |
| CaptainPlanet | so... ancient:) | 20:59 |
| CaptainPlanet | it's a freebie, my mom's old laptop | 20:59 |
| mjw- | well I would hope you didn't pay much for it ;) | 21:00 |
| CaptainPlanet | nope. my hope is to use it to play videos on my tv. I got the TV out working but XBMC is dog-slow without DRI | 21:01 |
| mjw- | not surprising | 21:02 |
| CaptainPlanet | well i guess i am going to try using Entertainer | 21:42 |
| CaptainPlanet | thanks for your help though | 21:42 |
| slow-motion | hi | 22:28 |
