| gaurdro | slimjimflim are you sure it's running? | 02:24 |
| slimjimflim | when i go to my site in lynx it says it is | 02:24 |
| slimjimflim | it's like 'this is the default roxen page' or something | 02:25 |
| BrunoXLambert | Is it normal that it's a pain to have compiz in Xubuntu? | 02:52 |
| oem | hey guys, does anybody yet have any experience with the Magento Commerce suite? | 03:05 |
| Stroganoff | oem: go to #magento | 03:26 |

| gNewPower | Hi, I am using an updated version of Xubuntu and I notice that even though Xubuntu is very proc-efficient my 1GHz proc is almost constantly pushed to the max by Firefox. Is this normal?! | 03:26 |
| Stroganoff | gNewPower nope | 03:27 |
| Stroganoff | i would install swiftfox, it's the new (faster) firefox3 optimized for your cpu arch | 03:27 |
| Stroganoff | http://getswiftfox.com/deb.htm | 03:28 |
| gNewPower | Stroganoff: I have 512MB of RAM and they are never used fully, But the proc is really running at 90-100% when I browse. Can you think of a reason? | 03:28 |
| Stroganoff | gNewPower you have checked with xfce task manager that firefox uses these resouces? | 03:28 |
| Stroganoff | are any plugins running, flash for example? | 03:28 |
| Stroganoff | firefox should not take any cpu% if not loading websites or playing animations | 03:28 |
| gNewPower | Stroganoff: I used the XFCE4 applet which shows how much proc power is used | 03:29 |
| Stroganoff | gNewPower: alt+f2 -> xfce4-taskmanager | 03:29 |
| gNewPower | Stroganoff: websites which pull lots of power are gmail and sites with Youtube videos | 03:29 |
| gNewPower | Stroganoff:once they are fully loaded (1-2min) the stuff clams down | 03:30 |
| Stroganoff | i think firefox2 on linux has some kind of javascript bug | 03:30 |
| gNewPower | I meant "calms down" | 03:30 |
| Stroganoff | try swiftfox: http://getswiftfox.com/deb.htm | 03:30 |
| gNewPower | ok, I will. | 03:31 |
| Stroganoff | it's firefox3 | 03:31 |
| gNewPower | why "stroganoff"? You like beef or are you Russian? | 03:31 |
| Stroganoff | neither | 03:31 |
| gNewPower | oh, ok. | 03:31 |
| Stroganoff | http://www.dragnet.de/telesound/images/fhollaender.jpg | 03:31 |
| gNewPower | how is the smoking guy? | 03:32 |
| gNewPower | I meant who | 03:32 |
| Stroganoff | Friedrich Hollaender | 03:33 |
| gNewPower | we will have to continue this another time, I need to run, sorry. many thanks and have a great evening! | 03:33 |

| Damion | So I tried to install linux twice unsuccessfully: once off of a ubuntu factory-supplied disk and a home-burnt xubuntu disk. | 07:07 |
| Damion | Both times when I tried selecting "Start or Install", "Start in safe graphics mode", or "Check CD Integrity", it directed me to a prompt-like program called busybox | 07:07 |
| Damion | where after a short pause, it spat out the following lines: | 07:07 |
| Damion | exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen | 07:07 |

| Nique666 | ah, that's true TheSheep, having somewhat of a mental block I suppose | 12:03 |
| Nique666 | i tried the automatically mount partitions script, and got the msg; already in /etc/fstab i'm assuming this means they're already mounted? but how do I access them? When I first put in the Xubuntu CD they appeared on the desktop, but now that i've installed they dont | 12:12 |
| totalwormage | they probably swim around in /media | 12:16 |
| Nique666 | they do, but there's nothing in them | 12:17 |
| Nique666 | so what should i do to see the contents of these partitions; before installation the Xubuntu live CD saw the contents, and i know they still have stuff on since my XP install still sees them | 12:22 |
| Nique666 | guys? | 12:43 |

| pc-illiterate | i have an installer that tells me "export the environment variable 'SETUP_CDROM'=/mnt/cdrom" what am i doing ? im lost | 14:10 |
| ablomen | pc-illiterate, what are you installing exactly? | 14:11 |
| pc-illiterate | tactical ops...game | 14:12 |
| ablomen | http://icculus.org/~ravage/tacticalops/do_not_link_to_these_files/tacticalops-3.5.0-install-x86.run.txt | 14:13 |
| pc-illiterate | bah...dont want the 3.5 upgrade | 14:13 |
| pc-illiterate | but thanks. read it | 14:13 |
| pc-illiterate | and it is the same installer i have | 14:15 |
| pc-illiterate | did you read that text at all ? | 14:15 |
| ablomen | yep | 14:15 |
| pc-illiterate | ote: You MUST export the 'SETUP_CDROM' environment variable as a pre-install script relies on this. Change the path to match your system cdrom mount point. | 14:16 |
| pc-illiterate | ok...change cd path ? | 14:16 |
| ablomen | export SETUP_CDROM=/mnt/cdrom | 14:16 |
| ablomen | its in the text | 14:16 |
| pc-illiterate | export SET_UP_CDROM=/mnt/cdrom0 ? | 14:17 |
| pc-illiterate | i am totally new and trying to get the hang of ubuntu so please bear with me | 14:17 |
| ablomen | did you insert the cd? | 14:18 |
| pc-illiterate | yep | 14:18 |
| pc-illiterate | mounted too as far as i know | 14:18 |
| ablomen | ok then try "mount | grep cdrom" | 14:18 |
| pc-illiterate | i can list the files on the cd | 14:18 |
| ablomen | then you'll see the mount point | 14:19 |
| pc-illiterate | ok and the mnt/dev/cdrom is right ? | 14:19 |
| ablomen | nah it should be /media | 14:19 |
| pc-illiterate | ok...had that before | 14:19 |
| ablomen | ok so you enter export SETUP_CDROM=/media/cdrom | 14:20 |
| pc-illiterate | the grep command...spit out buncha stuff... lol | 14:21 |
| ablomen | hehe | 14:21 |
| pc-illiterate | the dev/scd0 is my point ? | 14:22 |
| ablomen | nah | 14:22 |
| pc-illiterate | cdrom0 ? | 14:22 |
| ablomen | if you do ls /media/cdrom/ do you get anything? | 14:22 |
| pc-illiterate | sure....files on cd | 14:23 |
| ablomen | ok then the mountpoint is /media/cdrom | 14:23 |
| pc-illiterate | that means its mounted right ? | 14:23 |
| ablomen | so you can do export SETUP_CDROM=/media/cdrom | 14:23 |
| ablomen | and then run the installer | 14:23 |
| ablomen | yeah its mounted :) | 14:23 |
| pc-illiterate | cool. gunna try again | 14:23 |
| pc-illiterate | and i need to use sudo sh to run right ? | 14:25 |
| ablomen | yeah | 14:26 |
| pc-illiterate | ok... hope this works | 14:26 |
| * ablomen crosses fingers | 14:26 | |
| pc-illiterate | lol | 14:26 |
| pc-illiterate | grrrr. tells me to mount cd | 14:26 |
| ablomen | hmm you did the export thing? | 14:27 |
| pc-illiterate | i can do it line by line right ? | 14:27 |
| pc-illiterate | yep | 14:27 |
| ablomen | hmm then try entering sudo su, do the export command and then run the installer | 14:28 |
| pc-illiterate | sudo su export SETUP_CDROM blah blah ? | 14:29 |
| ablomen | nah sorry in 3 lines | 14:29 |
| ablomen | so first sudo su <enter> export stuff <enter> sh installer <enter> | 14:30 |
| pc-illiterate | cant open the .run | 14:31 |
| ablomen | hmm | 14:31 |
| ablomen | what error do you get? | 14:32 |
| pc-illiterate | sh: cant open tactical.........run | 14:32 |
| ablomen | hmm | 14:33 |
| ablomen | and your in the right dir? | 14:34 |
| pc-illiterate | says root@blank:/home/bryan# im at desktop right ? | 14:35 |
| ablomen | nah | 14:35 |
| pc-illiterate | great | 14:35 |
| ablomen | Desktop is /home/bryan/Desktop | 14:35 |
| MacTaylor | can xubuntu run on 128Mb ram? | 14:35 |
| ablomen | MacTaylor, sure | 14:35 |
| ablomen | MacTaylor, wont be lightning fast but it should work | 14:36 |
| ablomen | you may have to use the alternate install cd though (id recommend it anyway) | 14:36 |
| pc-illiterate | well if im running from here... wtf did i do wrong ? | 14:37 |
| pc-illiterate | yep...alt cd | 14:37 |
| MacTaylor | i always use alt installer anyways since live cd always fails on me for sumreason | 14:37 |
| ablomen | ok :) | 14:37 |
| pc-illiterate | you get a black screen MacTaylor ? | 14:37 |
| MacTaylor | on the live cd | 14:38 |
| ablomen | anyway i have to go, sorry i cant help you further pc-illiterate, you might wanna try #ubuntu | 14:38 |
| pc-illiterate | thanks anyway man | 14:38 |
| pc-illiterate | you did more than i knew | 14:38 |
| ablomen | hehe np, good luck! | 14:38 |

| SnakeyeS | I think I used BartPE to install windows | 22:51 |
| SnakeyeS | will that work with xubuntu? | 22:51 |
| Midtronic | howdy.. On my Gutsy box, I have this sweet feature where I can tab complete just about everything (subversion, apt-*, etc.). I just installed Hardy on a new box, and don't have this feature. Anyone have an idea what's the right package? | 23:01 |
| breetai | SnakeyeS: Put the xubuntu CD and boot from it. | 23:02 |
| breetai | SnakeyeS: It will start, and on the desktop will be an icon for doing the install. | 23:03 |
| Midtronic | nevermind.. I'm an idiot. | 23:05 |
| SnakeyeS | breetai: I don't seem to be able to boot from the external usb cd rom. That's all I have | 23:14 |
| SnakeyeS | Anyone? How can I install xubuntu on this older dell? I only have an external cdrom (usb)...no floppy. | 23:31 |
| AshleyQuick | Did anyone reply to my post? | 23:34 |
| SubOne | Anyone know why Xubuntu 7.10 would reboot everytime it goes to load the kernel? I've tried 'noacpi', 'pci=noacpi', and 'acpi=off' to no avail. | 23:35 |
| breetai | Snakeyes: there is another option. If you use the beta of the new verxion hardy, you can use the wubi installer | 23:48 |
| breetai | Burn the cd, put in in and windows will run the wubi installer. | 23:48 |
| breetai | it will make a giant file on your windows partion, 10gig or larger even. | 23:48 |
| breetai | then it will set the winodws boot menu to give you the option of XP or xubuntu | 23:48 |
| breetai | Or, you can just google wubi | 23:49 |
| breetai | download it | 23:49 |
| breetai | and run it. | 23:49 |
| breetai | it will let you donwload the files you need to do the install. | 23:49 |
| breetai | SubOne: why? depends on your motherboard, if it has the option to disable ACPI do so. there is also noriqpoll which also helps. | 23:50 |
| breetai | sometimes. | 23:50 |
| SubOne | breetai: i'll try that, any other suggestions? I can't install because it just keeps rebooting on kernel run (memtest works) | 23:50 |
| breetai | SubOne: It has to do with some option the way the kernel is compiled. Some other distro make work better for you. | 23:52 |
| breetai | SubOne: what kind of motherboard or model of computer do you have? | 23:52 |
| SubOne | compaq | 23:52 |
| breetai | Subone: What model? | 23:54 |
| SubOne | presario 7470 | 23:55 |
