| windio00 | is the beta fairly stable? | 01:07 |
| j1mc | windio00: yes, but the release candidate will be released next thursday. | 01:09 |
| j1mc | there have been bug fixes since the beta, so i'd probably recommend waiting until the release candidate. | 01:09 |
| j1mc | it's up to you though. | 01:10 |
| windio00 | are they serious? | 01:10 |
| j1mc | no. i've had a good experience, but we're still fixing bugs. | 01:11 |
| windio00 | j1mc, will the updater get it to stable smoothly? | 01:12 |
| windio00 | in a week? | 01:12 |
| vidd | what is the release date | 01:12 |
| vidd | the final release | 01:12 |
| windio00 | the beta is a live cd right? | 01:16 |
| windio00 | beta-desktop? | 01:16 |
| j1mc | windio00: you can get the beta as either a live cd or alternate install cd | 01:17 |
| j1mc | the release candidate will come out next thursday | 01:17 |
| j1mc | and the final release is the week after that (thursday the 24th) | 01:17 |
| 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. | 02:23 |
| vidd | did you check the bios to see if you have something that "protects" the master boot record? | 02:24 |
| breetai | SubOne: did you try one line with: noacpi nolacpi acpi=off | 02:27 |
| SubOne | nolacpi? | 02:28 |
| SubOne | i tried noacpi, acpi=off, pci=noacpi and all combinations od them together | 02:28 |
| breetai | SubOne: Yes, no-L-acpi | 02:30 |
| breetai | SubOne: not a one but an L. | 02:31 |
| SubOne | k ill do that in a sec ty | 02:31 |
| breetai | SubOne: as one line noacpi nolacpi acpi=off | 02:31 |
| breetai | you can even toss in noirqpoll | 02:31 |
| SubOne | k | 02:33 |
| SubOne | breetai: still reboots | 02:37 |
| SubOne | noirqpoll same | 02:38 |
| breetai | SubOne: how much memory do you have? | 02:43 |
| SubOne | 128 - 1mb for shared vid | 02:43 |
| SubOne | this is alt cd | 02:43 |
| breetai | Ok. | 02:45 |
| breetai | Have you run an md5sum on the CD? | 02:45 |
| SubOne | yes | 02:45 |
| breetai | And the md5sum on the CD is ok? | 02:46 |
| SubOne | yeah | 02:46 |
| SubOne | lol | 02:46 |
| breetai | SubOne: I cant tell you how many times I have had radom reboots during an install due to a bad burn. | 02:47 |
| SubOne | well this is always during kernel load | 02:47 |
| breetai | SubOne: I am grasping at straws here. You could try to update the bios on the PC | 02:51 |
| SubOne | why would that effect the kernel load? | 02:53 |
| SubOne | besides i think it just got updated :p | 02:53 |
| breetai | Well, o | 02:53 |
| breetai | If it is power management issues, with ACPI the BIOS update could resolve that. | 02:54 |
| SubOne | i don't know that its a power management issue.... is that guarenteed or something? | 02:54 |
| breetai | I know that others with a Presario 7470 have loaded Ubuntu on their system. | 02:54 |
| breetai | Nope. | 02:54 |
| breetai | But moving to the latest BIOS is not a bad idea. | 02:54 |
| breetai | As long as you dont botch it and brick your unit. | 02:55 |
| breetai | But I don't even know if there are any bios updates for your system. | 02:55 |
| SubOne | i think if there is i already updated but ill check later, any other suggestions? | 02:55 |
| breetai | I would try to boot with any linux. Which means I would try downloading and burning a small linux like puppy, dsl, systemrecovery or slax and see if any of those boot. | 02:56 |
| SubOne | i have knoppixlivecd | 02:57 |

| uninvited | Hi philphoto | 16:00 |
| philphoto | hola | 16:01 |
| philphoto | I cheated on xubuntu... moved my primary system over to SUSE, but still use Xubuntu on the little laptops. | 16:07 |

| philphoto | ha ha ha ha. | 16:10 |
| Stroganoff | SUSE wat? | 16:10 |
| philphoto | well, i thought I'd "give back" a little for a change. | 16:10 |
| uninvited | Which SuSE ? | 16:10 |
| Stroganoff | give back to microsoft/novell? ;) | 16:11 |
| Kargarian | Hello. I have a question. I cannot seem to get the install to boot from the dvd, is there anyway to do it using the grub loader? | 16:11 |
| Stroganoff | donate to debian! | 16:11 |
| philphoto | i feel like wrapping my brain around some problems and the debian distros I know well. | 16:11 |
| philphoto | Suse 10.3 gnome | 16:11 |
| uninvited | I see. | 16:11 |
| TheSheep | !install | Kargarian | 16:11 |
| ubotu | Kargarian: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 16:11 |
| philphoto | X20 laptop is still xubuntu | 16:11 |
| philphoto | Stroganoff: no I meant give back as in helping ubuntu users. | 16:12 |
| Kargarian | thanks | 16:13 |
| philphoto | I DO have a hardware problem that crosses over between all distros though. I believe I've got a dying gfx card (or some incompatibility between gfx and motherboard) which is causing the desktop machine to run slower than incredibly slow. | 16:16 |

| Tu13es | like, gnome's is gdm | 18:45 |
| gaurdro | I believe xfce can use either kdm or gdm for it's desktop manager. | 18:47 |
| Tu13es | gotcha | 18:47 |
| Tu13es | I wasn't sure if it used something else since it says xubuntu | 18:48 |
| nikolam | i even used xdm once | 18:51 |
| nikolam | gdm is default | 18:51 |
| nikolam | xdm is even lighter bit its a bit uglier by default | 18:52 |
| Stroganoff | you can use slim | 18:53 |

| S0210 | Hi! Whenever I plug my pendrive in the USB I get two Thunar windows. Is it normal? Is there a way to change that? | 21:24 |
| Stroganoff | S0210 its not normal. maybe your pendrive has a hidden second partition with vendor diagnostic tools | 21:28 |
| S0210 | Stroganoff: Both of my pedrives does the same. But I don't think that's the case. | 21:32 |
| Stroganoff | i dont even get one windows when pluggin in an usb drive | 21:32 |
| S0210 | Stroganoff: Ahmm... Then probable it has something to do with my "Removable Drives and Media" settings. Let me see. | 21:33 |
| Stroganoff | mv .config/xfce4 .config/xfce-backup | 21:33 |
| Stroganoff | logout, try again | 21:33 |
| S0210 | Or probably not... | 21:34 |
| rzr | hi | 21:40 |
| Stroganoff | hi | 21:48 |
| S0210 | Does anybody have the "Mount removable drives when hot-plugged" option checked in on the "Removable Drives and Media" settings page? How does your Thunar react if you plug in a pendrive? | 21:57 |

| S0210 | arualavi: Thank you | 22:57 |
| arualavi | when I plugg the pen | 22:58 |
| S0210 | I have no idea what's going on or how to debug. I simply changed settings not to open any windows for browseing. :-/ | 22:59 |
| arualavi | if you don't have a second partition in the pen, i don't know what's happen also | 23:01 |
| arualavi | mmm... | 23:01 |
| arualavi | maybe you could tail -f /var/log/messages and plug in the pen | 23:02 |
| arualavi | to see if there is some error or strange thing in logs | 23:02 |

| mikubuntu | i can't seem to get my desktop to finish an update. when i hover over the update icon the msg is: this usually means that your installed packages have unment dependencies. | 23:06 |
| mikubuntu | if i remember right, this happened during an update to skype. | 23:06 |
| arualavi | mikubuntu: skype isn't on the official repos, isn't it? | 23:07 |
| mikubuntu | araulavi, not sure, but the update came in thru the regular update manager as recommended. | 23:08 |
| mikubuntu | any suggestions? | 23:08 |
| mikubuntu | it won't let me do any other updates, it's just stuck. would you recommend possibly uninstalling skype through synaptic? i don't even know if it will let me use synaptic while the update manager is stuck, i have to check. | 23:10 |
| * arualavi looking in man | 23:11 | |
| arualavi | mikubuntu: open a console and try | 23:12 |
| arualavi | sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get -f upgrade | 23:12 |
| mikubuntu | k, i am trying. synaptic identified a dependency problem, said it fixed it, but when i closed and went back to update still would not allow.. opening term now. do i do those commands simultaneously, or one at a time? | 23:14 |
| user_1 | I want to know how do I set the DNS address for my internet connection from the terminal | 23:14 |
| arualavi | mikubuntu: just copy the command in the terminal | 23:15 |
| mikubuntu | araulavi, it seems to be working... let you know in a few. the orange update icon has turned grey | 23:16 |
| arualavi | user_1: /etc/network/interfaces | 23:18 |
| arualavi | user_1: man interfaces, many examples on it | 23:18 |
| arualavi | well, apologies for my english :-P | 23:19 |
| mikubuntu | araulavi, thanks. gotta run pick up a friend. be back in a while, no doubt... | 23:24 |
| user_1 | okay, I can get dri enabled booting from the Ubuntu 7.10 DesktopCD but not from the Xubuntu CD | 23:26 |
