Tu13esanyone know if I can install the hardy beta alongside gutsy?04:52
=== phryde is now known as |phryde|
zoredacheTu13es: what do you mean alongside?04:53
Tu13eswhoops, meant this for #ubuntu. but anyways, if hardy fails it'd be nice to boot back into gutsy04:54
zoredacheyou can easily do it on a second partitition... If you are feeling very advanced you could also do a 'chrot'04:54
|phryde|anyone else having problems installing wine on 64bit xubuntu?04:55
zoredacheTu13es: if you pay really close attention to what you are doing you could boot off the livecd and make a new folder off root (/gutsy perhaps) and move everything from / into that folder...04:55
zoredachethen do your install, but make sure you do NOT format the drive04:56
Tu13eshmm04:56
Tu13essounds like a lot of work04:56
Tu13eswhat happens if i install hardy and my wifi doesn't work? can I reinstall gutsy from cd?04:56
zoredacheif you moved stuff like I suggested, then you would reboot, move/delete everything the hardy installer created move everything from /gutsy back and re-do grub04:57
Tu13esgotcha04:58
Tu13esthanks for your help zoredache04:58
zoredacheOf course really what would be far better would be to make a backup on external media04:58
Tu13esyeah04:58
Tu13esit's just my laptop so it's not of huge importance04:58

clubber--Hello there. I have some issues with my soundcard (sb live! 5.1). It worked fine yesterday until I ran a reboot. Could anyone help me, please?11:52
gabkdll1clubber--: hi11:56
clubber--hey!11:57
clubber--please help.. i have no clue ;P11:57
gabkdll1I am not the smartest man in the channel, but perhaps you want to check your mixer levels first. In a terminal, run alsamixer11:57
clubber--kk. 2 sec11:57
clubber--so... what should I do?11:58
gabkdll1look around (using the arrow keys) and check to see if the source that you are expecting sound to come from is muted11:58
gabkdll1muted items are marked "MM"11:59
gabkdll1select and hit m to toggle the mute state12:00
clubber--hmm.. seems fine to me :\12:01
clubber--i've connected only the front12:01
gabkdll1although, I have to admit, I don't know why a reboot would mute any of your mixer levels. You might want to wait till someone smarter than me comes along :)12:01
gabkdll1"PCM" and "Headphones" are two items you probably want to unmute if they are muted12:02
clubber--heheh12:02
gabkdll1then again, your mixer items probably are not the same as mine12:02
clubber--i can't do anything with the PCM12:02
gabkdll1oh, that is interesting12:03
clubber--yeah? ;o12:03
gabkdll1well, perhaps it is just because we have different sound cards, but on my system having the PCM channel unmuted is essential for sound to work12:05
gabkdll1I just meant it might be a clue as to where your problem lies12:06
gabkdll1hopefully someone smarter than me will come along and will know what this clue means ;)12:06
gabkdll1sorry that I can't be of more help12:06
clubber--no problem12:06
clubber--thanks ;)12:06
gabkdll1can you maybe provide a little more information on what you were doing during the boot when everything was still working fine?12:07
clubber--nothing really. i've innstalled ubuntu yesterday with a sb extreme audio. after a while i figured that linux did not work with this card, so i inserted the sb live 5.1 card. when i turned on the computer the sound worked fine12:08
clubber--then i ran a reboot, and the sound was gone ;o12:09
gabkdll1hmmm...12:09
gabkdll1well, I actually think that Ubuntu's hardware detection should work fine in a situation like this12:10
gabkdll1but perhaps you want to try booting from a live cd again12:11
clubber--hm? sorry man, i'm totally new to this12:11
gabkdll1actually, if it is not too much trouble, you might try reinstalling with the new soundcard in there12:12
gabkdll1then again, I am no expert12:12
clubber--hehe12:12
gabkdll1you can always take your problem to the forum if you don't find anyone around here12:12
clubber--allright12:12
gabkdll1the forum usually gets lots of traffic12:12
clubber--ok ;) which forum?12:13
gabkdll1plus, in the forum you can document everything that happend12:13
gabkdll1!forum12:13
ubotuThe Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums.12:13
clubber--ah12:13
clubber--ok then12:13
clubber--thx man12:13
the_alamois anyone here also connected to irc.gnome.org? i have been trying to get to the epiphany channel and i can't connect to the server.12:38
gabkdll1the_alamo: I seem to be able to connect without any problems12:59
the_alamocrap!!12:59
the_alamothanks for checking.12:59
the_alamoand, i guess, it is better than the whole server being down.13:00
the_alamogabkdll1, does irc.gnome.org send you to irc.us.gimp.org?13:01
pirate_Hunterhell cna someone post a link for the minimum download size for xubuntu or is that only available for ubuntu?13:18
pirate_Hunter*hello13:18
pirate_Hunterhello any help please13:21
cody-somervilleHello pirate_Hunter13:22
cody-somervilleThe size is listed on the download page13:23
cody-somervillehttp://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/gutsy/release/13:23
pirate_HunterI know but that 600mb+ i need soemthing lower like ubuntu has a minimum download size of 9mb13:23
pirate_Huntercody-somerville: you qouldnt by any case know if xubuntu has soemthing similar13:25
cody-somervilleYou could use the same thing you use for Ubuntu13:26
cody-somervilleand then install the xubuntu-desktop package13:26
pirate_Hunterwouldnt that mean i would have ubuntu and xubuntu installed doubling the size also is that possibl without net access13:27
crimsuni.e., install ubuntu-standard and then xubuntu-desktop13:27
crimsunwith the server disk, it's quite straightforward13:27
crimsuninstall a minimal server, install ubuntu-standard, install xubuntu-desktop13:28
crimsun(in that order)13:28
crimsunafter that, you can install linux-generic13:28
pirate_Huntercrimsun: is it possible to do usb pen install to HDD?13:30
crimsunI don't know offhand.  I haven't followed the installer since breezy, and many things have been updated since then.13:33
crimsunit's certainly possible, but whether the installer makes it trivia is another story.13:34
crimsuntrivial^13:34
gabkdll1the_alamo: how do I check that? I use Pidgin as my IRC client14:18
the_alamogabkdll1, i never really understood how to set up pidgin for irc!!  i think occasionally i would get it to work but it was more trial and error luck than skill.14:19
the_alamoi always wanted to do it with pidgin (and now empathy) but in the end i install xchat.14:19
gabkdll1well, I have been using it since it was called Gaim, and I have not needed to update my configuration since then14:21
the_alamookay, let's try.  i think you add an account.  set it to irc and put irc.gnome.org in the server.14:22
gabkdll1yes14:22
the_alamothen in the screen name you would put gabkdll1 (i think)14:22
gabkdll1I do have to admit, sometimes Pidgin gets disconnected from the server. It automatically reconnects, and generally it happens rarely enough as to be a non-issue for me14:23
the_alamohmm.14:23
gabkdll1well, normally I am gabkdlly, but I got bumped during this session, so Pidgin automatically renamed me14:23
gabkdll1you would of course want to put the_alamo instead of gabkdll1 ;)14:24
the_alamounless i wanted to be you!  (insert spooky music)14:24
gabkdll1yes, I suspect I should stop being lasy and register my user name one of these days14:25
the_alamoi registered once but i get bored of my user names and change them14:25
the_alamowhich, i guess, is better than changing my legal name when i am bored.14:26
the_alamowell i set up pidgin and it can't connect either. that is 3 for 3.14:27
the_alamo(pidgin empathy xchat)14:27
gabkdll1:(14:27
the_alamomaybe it has something to do with living in south korea14:27
the_alamognome has secretly been aligning itself with north korea and it hasn't manifested itself in any way except for this.14:28
gabkdll1maybe someone in south korea was spamming, so they temporarily blocked certain IPs14:28
the_alamomaybe.14:29
the_alamothat is more likely than my reasoning.14:29
gabkdll1but I would guess they would put something like that on the news section of their webpage14:29
the_alamoyes.14:30
the_alamoconnecting with them has been tenuous for a long time but i have always been able to connect eventually14:31
the_alamoon a side note... i would love pidgin if i could change the layout.14:32
the_alamoin empathy, which is based on somehting but i forget what, i can set it up so that my user name and avatar appear above the text in a nice little box.14:33
the_alamobut in pidgin it is always along the side14:33
the_alamoi like the side setup for irc but not chat.14:33
ShaDowZSalut , j'aurai besoin d'un avi sur xubuntu car je croit bien que je vais l'installer14:56
ShaDowZ!14:56
cody-somerville!fr14:56
ubotuAllez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.14:56
ShaDowZThanks ;)14:57
ShaDowZcody-somerville and ubuntu-fr ? Do not exist ?14:58
ShaDowZxubuntu-fr14:58
ShaDowZ*14:58
cody-somervilleTry asking in #ubuntu-fr - they'll still provide support for Xubuntu or you can ask your question here in English :)14:58
ShaDowZOk Thanks you cody-somerville ;)14:59
ShaDowZcody-somerville 15:01
ShaDowZSorry I do not speak English very well but, it's true that on xubuntu graphical interface is not very nice?15:01
ShaDowZ( not very beauthiful )15:01
cody-somervilleUmm... I like it.15:02
cody-somervilleAre you talking about the current release?15:02
ShaDowZUm15:04
ShaDowZ15:04
ShaDowZI do not know, I have seen comments on the internet which said that the interface was not very good15:04
ShaDowZIt is for this reason that I come here! To find out if this is true15:05
cody-somervilleCould you point me to those comments?15:05
sverihi, und hardy the network manager seems not to work with the wallet system15:06
sveriwhen i connect to a wlan and store the passwort, the nm-applet breaks everytime i want to connect again15:06
sveridoes somebody knwo where i can delete the information about the passwords in xfce?15:07
gabkdll1ShaDowZ: just get a hold of a live CD and try it out. You will notice soon enough if the interface does not jive with you.15:07
ShaDowZOk Ok15:07
ShaDowZ15:08
ShaDowZAnd you think otherwise, with a personal opinion?15:08
ShaDowZ( for the Graphical interface )15:08
ShaDowZgabkdll1 ?15:09
ShaDowZor cody-somerville ?15:09
cody-somervilleIt is of course a personal opinion15:10
cody-somervilleJust because I like it doesn't mean you'll like it.15:10
gabkdll1Gnome does have some nice candy, and I hear KDE is configurable up the wazu (or so I hear).15:10
gabkdll1in a way, I feel that XFCE does a good job of keeping things minimal and simple. Although, I suppose it might sometimes require a little more familiarity with the command line than does Gnome.15:11
ShaDowZOk15:12
ShaDowZSo ..15:13
ShaDowZ15:13
ShaDowZI will test it then, I think xubuntu is already better than Windows! XD15:13
cody-somerville:)15:14
cody-somervilleThank you.15:14
the_alamog'nite all15:31
ShaDowZcody-somerville15:53
ShaDowZWell I saw comment infact quite well on Xubuntu so I decide to install it: D ;)15:53
cody-somerville:)15:54
ShaDowZcody-somerville ? You have what you? ( OS )15:54
cody-somervilleI run Xubuntu and Ubuntu as well.15:54
ShaDowZOk ;)15:54
ShaDowZand 15:55
ShaDowZYou use more often that?15:55
ShaDowZcody-somerville15:56
cody-somervilleI use Xubuntu most often.15:56
ShaDowZOk Ok ;)15:57
ShaDowZbut cody-somerville15:58
ShaDowZ15:58
ShaDowZHowever I have a small problem on windows i was forced to install drivers for the pc see my NIC. I do not know if this is in contrast compatible with linux: /15:58
cody-somervilleProbably not.15:59
cody-somervilleIt should work right out of the box.15:59
