[00:36] anyone using xubuntu hardy? is it just me or the panels are now grey...? [00:39] I am running xubuntu 7.10 dont have any sound [00:40] !sound | narothepharoh [00:40] narothepharoh: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [00:41] there is no volume control [00:42] in a terminal type alsamixer and see if the controls are turned up [00:51] ere4si: all are turned up except some are muted how do i unmute? [00:53] narothepharoh, the right/left arrow selects up/down arows to change [00:53] try man alsamixer, or just type m on the control [00:56] this isnt working either all are unmuted but still no sound [00:57] narothepharoh, at the top of alsamixer you're device should be listed - what is it? [00:57] Audigy 1 [SB0090] [00:58] brb [01:00] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundcardsWithHardwareSynth - narothepharoh [01:04] narothepharoh, seems the "audigy analog/digital output jack" was on by default so had to uncheck it - was another solution I found [01:25] every time i try booting from teh xubuntu cd, i get the menu to "start and install", which i choose... then i see the boot screen for Xubuntu with a progress bar, but it always stops right before it gets to the end... any way to see where this is failing? [01:30] sleek : try Alt-F2 to switch to the message output console [01:31] keb: ok, i'll do that [01:31] thanks [01:55] can someone tell me how to install themes [01:57] hi babalas [01:57] yes, i can [01:57] or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=227416&highlight=xfce+theme [01:57] do you want your themes to be available to all users, or just yourself? [01:57] but that looks a bit old [01:57] just myself please [01:58] http://doc.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/desktop-themes.html [01:58] that is the draft xubuntu 8.04 documentation [01:59] thanks for that link [01:59] that's what I needed [02:00] yw. that document will be included by default in the xubuntu 8.04 docs. [02:00] if it's confusing in any way, please let me know [02:12] thanks again for that help [02:37] aqui no se mueve nada [02:38] no comprendo [02:40] jajaja [02:45] so I just deleted some things with the delete key on the keyboard and they aren't in the trash... [02:47] other than ssh how can i control xubuntu with gui? [03:08] GEIS: do you mean without a gui? [03:09] GEIS wants to run mldonkey on his new server [03:09] but he refuses advice [03:10] someone should point him to an commandline tutorial and a good administrative web interface if there is such [03:16] there is also vnc [03:17] keb: right. :) hardy will have an improved vnc client, too [03:18] gotta run, all. have a good night. [03:18] cool [03:18] ni [05:09] hi [05:11] I installed xubuntu in a 128mb ram, 1.70mhz celeron machine and it runs really slow, is there a way I can lighten xubuntu a bit? or do I install something else such as DSL or puppy? [05:12] anybody? [05:13] 128mb should be ok - not great but ok [05:15] is really slow [05:15] it takes a min to open up firefox [05:16] and the OS without any use feels really slow [05:17] can you open a terminal and type free and paste it - it will show the system mem and how it is used [05:26] i think is too slow [05:27] im going to puppy linux [05:27] most of the mem goes to services i dont use [05:27] i will install puppy and upgrade the kernel [05:28] or maybe start up with debian and start building my os from there [05:31] there is an app in synaptic - sysv-rc-conf - that will let you turn off services you don't want - just be careful with it [05:32] puppy is good but limited in the apps it has available [05:32] i know that is why i think in building my own debian [05:33] I use an ubuntu server install with fluxbox as the window manager on a 128mb mem sys and it is pretty good for its' age :) [05:35] yea fluxbox is lighter, xfce is too heavy [05:35] the computer is not for me but it needs to run smoothly [05:35] and with the server install less services are running [05:36] fluxbox or enlighment would probably run just fine [05:36] yep [05:36] and only install the apps you need [05:39] yea and a lighter browser [05:40] do you know of any good and light browser? [05:40] epiphany gets recommended for that [05:42] yea but its on gnome so gnome libs would have to be running too, that would suck up my mem [05:43] dillo is good - old but good === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache [10:39] Hi ppl, new to ubuntu / xubuntu. just wanna ask a few quick questions. 1. Is compiz available by default in the new 8.4 beta? 2. Is installing the new 8.4 beta recommended? 3. I still am able to update new versions thru the updater in 8.4 beta right? [10:41] anyone? [10:45] i'm sorry, did anyone see my questions? [11:10] Hello everyone! [11:11] today i am downloading for the first time version 6.06.1 (its for an old machine) [11:12] i was wondering where can i find the md5sum to make sure the image i will burn is not corrupted? [11:13] looks like many users here, but no reply... === eeedarius_v is now known as eeedarius_v- [13:33] I am running xubuntu 7.10 dont have any sound [13:33] narothepharoh: how did you check? [13:42] TheSheep: I have no volume control and i have tried to play songs and nothing [13:43] it has worked with ubuntu just fine [13:44] narothepharoh: you need to add volume control to the panle yourself [13:44] narothepharoh: and to play mp3 you need to install additional packages [13:44] !mp3 | narothepharoh [13:44] narothepharoh: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [13:45] TheSheep: I have installed all that it works just no sound. How do I ADD TO THE PANEL? [13:46] narothepharoh: right-click on the panel, select 'add new item', select 'volume control' from the list [13:47] The Sheep: that is not working [13:47] narothepharoh: which step exactly? [13:48] TheSheep: The volume control [13:49] I right click go to add and it doesnt put it there [13:50] hmm... there was a bug about it... go to 'keyboard settings', go to 'bindings' tab and remove the two 'aumix' bindings [13:50] then it should be working [13:50] you can also run 'alsamixer' in a terminal to get an advanced volume control [13:51] there is no bindings tab in my keyboard preferences [13:51] narothepharoh: I don't have an english version handy, don't remember the exact name, second tab from the left [13:53] TheSheep: it wont let me click on anything there [13:53] narothepharoh: add a new profile on the left [13:53] narothepharoh: there hsould be a "+" button there [13:53] narothepharoh: the name doesn't matter [13:54] there are 3 aumix bindings. remove all? [13:55] narothepharoh: yes [13:55] narothepharoh: the volume control plugin handles them now [13:57] TheSheep: I was able to get volume control after that then turned the switch off for the digital output jack and it works. Thanks man I appreciate it. [13:59] narothepharoh: great [14:00] I dealt with this before and noone could help so i installed a different os [14:03] narothepharoh: any solution is good, as long as it gives the desired results [15:24] The machine which I was running my mysqld had its chipset die. Now I'm getting the message that mysql can't bind to port 3306. What can I do to fix it? [15:26] Annirak: check what other thing is using that port [15:26] How? [15:28] Annirak: using netstat [15:32] TheSheep: I can bind the port in python [15:38] so a 'netstat -ntlp' doesn't show anything listening on 3306? [15:47] Hi ! Anyone as can tell me how to install new themes in xubuntu xfce ? [15:48] ant0n: sure, just unpack them to the .themes directory in your home directory [15:48] Ok, and it should work then ? :) [15:49] ant0n: yes, they should then appear in the theme selection menu [15:51] I can't find .themes under /home/ant0n I can see "hidden files". [15:53] mkdir /home/ant0n/.themes [15:54] Ok! [15:54] Just go to home/ant0n and create a new dir? [15:54] yes [15:54] or just paste my line into run command or terminal [15:55] Ok, I did it in the terminal [15:59] I'cant find my theme as I extracted to .themes in my theme chooser. [16:01] ant0n: is it a gtk theme or an xfce theme? [16:03] xfce theme [16:08] ant0n: then it will be listed in the window manager settings [16:09] I've got something named emerald theme manager, should i look in that prg ? [16:11] ant0n: that's for emnerald themes, for compiz [16:11] ant0n: it has separate themes [16:11] Ah, and copmiz don't work for me. [16:12] I've swedish language, so how to find window manager settingd? [16:12] s [16:13] it's in settings, it has an icon with two windows [16:14] I found it I think [16:14] Yep i found it and it's working, thanks :) [16:15] Is there anything I can do to get my panel look like the "dock" in osx? [16:17] Without using compiz, bcs I've VIA Unichrome grpcard and it's not supported. [16:18] ant0n: there is this 'awn' thing [16:18] ant0n: it works with xfce if you have compositing enabled [16:19] compositing, what is that, and can I find that awn thing in synaptic? [16:19] How do I share with ubuntu 7.10 and xubuntu? [16:20] prc320: what do you want to share? [16:20] siggjen some files [16:21] with me? [16:21] no, ooo files [16:22] please tell more about that sharing [16:22] i prefer using nfs between my Linux machines [16:22] samba is more useful to windows machines [16:23] ftp can be used everywhere [16:23] lots of people prefer to share trough some kind of p2p network [16:23] I am in xubuntu and I want to share a file on ubuntu [16:23] the easiest would be to set up nfs then i guess [16:24] then what? [16:24] ask google about sharing files via nfs [16:24] actually it might be even easier (and a whole lot more secure) to use ssh for sharing files [16:25] ok siggjen [16:25] all you have to do is install openssh-server on one side, and use sshfs on the other [16:26] zoredache how do you do that? [16:26] zoredache: true, scp is a nice option, but on local networks i think nfs is better [16:48] I have a quick question if you don't mind me asking [16:48] just ask, you dont' have to ask to ask [16:49] I installed Xubuntu 7.10 and for some reason it never loads the desktop. I edited the Xorg and tried loading the vesa driver still no luck. How can I fix it [16:51] what do you mean by it won't load the desktop. Do you mean the xorg never start at all and you get a command line only? [16:58] question: im trying to compile my own kernel and when i use in the kernel config under Processor family: > 3. 586/K5/5x86/6x86/6x86MX (M586) what do i have to set while compiling it? the --arch config set to make-kpkg ??? [16:58] cause i get errors while compiling [16:59] you shouldn't have to set --arch at all [16:59] zoredache: It will load xorg, but leaves me xterm [17:01] i didnt set it, but i get errors [17:01] so i thought there might be the error [17:02] reaper21: that sounds like you are getting a 'failsafe session'. Are you trying to manually start xorg? You might try stopping it, and then using 'startxfce4' and see if you get a desktop correctly [17:03] julian_: may I ask, why are you trying to build your own kernel? And what version are you trying to build? [17:03] i installed build-essential and linux-headers also the linux-source .. then i unpacked the source and copied the config- from /boot/ to the source folder opened it didnt touch it saved and tried to compile [17:04] when you copied the config file you copied it to '.config'? [17:04] zoredache, sure you may ask :) .. i need oss build in the kernel instead of alsa for a soundtool which i need. and im trying to build 2.6.22 [17:05] zoredach yeah i copied: sudo cp /boot/config- .config (while i was in the source folder) [17:06] what was the error you got? [17:06] pastebin it, if it long [17:06] the error changes everytime [17:06] without changing the conf [17:06] http://pastebin.com/m66510022 is one of them [17:07] at the moment im compiling again and saving everything into a log [17:07] i compile with the command: sudo make-kpkg --initrd --revision test1 binary just for information [17:09] instead of binary I would have used 'kernel_image kernel_headers' [17:09] but I doubt that is your problem [17:09] i tried kernel_image, but after 10 rows or something it said: nothing to do [17:11] are you using a 'make-kpkg clean' before you try to compile it each time? [17:11] yes [17:11] and its a very fresh install of xubuntu [17:11] i just installed xchat nothing else [17:11] and you are getting a different error each time... That is very unusual [17:12] the rest is normal isntallation of the xubuntu live cd [17:12] yeah [17:12] sometimes at the net/atl [17:12] sometimes i stops @ bitmap.o [17:12] the last time I saw something like that, it turned out to be a half-failed stick of RAM [17:12] i tried that also [17:12] i used ram test xubuntu [17:12] didnt fail at all [17:18] julian_: well it seems like you have tried all the obvious things... Which means you are past the point I can help... You might also try asking in #ubuntu or some of the other more generic channels. [17:19] zoredache, i asked there before and didnt get an answer at all ;/ [17:20] maybe you can have a little little look at the log ;) [17:20] do you have another computer with ubuntu or debian on it? You could try compiling from another machine [17:21] i have another one yeah i installed ubuntu on it will try it later [17:21] what to compare then? [17:21] sorry? [17:23] anyway feel free to post your logfile. I don't know how much I can help though... It is made difficult because you seem to be using a language I don't speak on your system [17:23] yeah its german ;/ [17:27] a friend of mine told me not to just copy the old conf [17:27] i should use make oldconfig instead [17:27] there is a huge difference between it [17:29] i hate it it seems that this time (although i didnt expect it at all) is going to compile completely [17:29] without doing anything different as before [17:34] oh no [17:34] this time it had problems with sound [19:04] hi [19:10] After installing the nvidia driver my resolution settings are to low. I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and that didn't work and some googleing didnt bring up anything. The settings manager wont let me pick anything over 800x600 [19:10] I am using the hardy beta [19:10] tech404: try sudo nvidia-settings [19:14] it wasn't installed... after installing it told me that it didn't look like I was using the nvidia driver... could this be because I am using the legacy driver? [19:14] i double checked and I am using the nvidia driver [19:17] Xorg.0.log says "(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using default mode "1280x1024" (hsync out of range)" but it is fine for the monitor and was working before I installed the nvidia driver [19:19] maybe you can get it to search for monitor? [19:23] I am unsure on how that would be done.... dpkg-reconfigure doesn't ask many questions anymore and that would have been my first guess [19:23] would xubuntu run on a P1 ? [19:25] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements === tech404_ is now known as tech404 [21:04] im so much to stupid to compile my own kernel [21:04] where can i get the original source for the 2.6.22-14 kernel? [21:08] julian_, maybe in kernel.org [21:15] now i get an error while installing with synaptics ;/ [21:17] what's the error? [21:18] !aptfix [21:18] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [21:24] n8 [21:37] hi, how do you enable desktop effects on Xubuntu?

[21:49] not with ark - I don't know it - but was there an error message? [21:50] Yess i have [21:50] see [21:50] in command line [21:50] ark (kdeutils): FATAL: libark could not found. Aborting.

Ark is a KDE program [21:53] :o , Sorry [21:53] Ty good nigth man :) [21:53] night [21:54] you don't need to be sorry, I just don't know anything.. :| [21:54] good luck on finding an answer though [21:56] ty ;) [21:56] bye [22:12] hey guys [22:13] i have a problem with installing xubuntu to an older computer of mine [22:14] wait is this working [22:14] ? [22:15] say hello? [22:15] hello [22:15] hello... ask your question, be patient please.. :) [22:16] thank you [22:17] Im trying to dual boot xubuntu on an older computer and after i hit "start/install xubuntu" it goes to the loading screen and then dies, it gets all pixelated and just stays taht way, any ideas on whats going on? [22:19] are you using the livecd, or the alternate image? [22:19] livecd [22:19] the newest version [22:19] It probably doesn't like your video card or something like that [22:20] the alternete installer cd tends to be a lot better about working with stubborn hardware [22:20] okay, so give that one a try? [22:22] ill give it try, thank you for your help. im pretty new at linux [22:32] is xubuntu losing its status as an officially supported desktop ? [22:33] it's in universe for hardy ? why ? [22:34] afaik xubuntu has never been officially supported - it's community based [22:36] wubrgamer: its not officially supported by canonical as ubuntu is, but it is an officially recognized child distro [22:37] huh, same guy ! hi maxamillion ! [22:37] and thanks for that ! haha [22:38] wubrgamer: anytime :) [22:38] wubrgamer: i still hang out in the channel here and monitor it, but i just don't do much else for the project [23:11] hello, just looking around at this time [23:12] !hi | charlie-tca [23:12] charlie-tca: Hi!
