[00:00] I saw a recomendation for trying noapic nolapic acpi=off [00:01] I have to jet Subone, I may be back later [00:01] nolapic? [01:07] is the beta fairly stable? [01:09] windio00: yes, but the release candidate will be released next thursday. [01:09] there have been bug fixes since the beta, so i'd probably recommend waiting until the release candidate. [01:10] it's up to you though. [01:10] are they serious? [01:11] no. i've had a good experience, but we're still fixing bugs. [01:12] j1mc, will the updater get it to stable smoothly? [01:12] in a week? [01:12] what is the release date [01:12] the final release [01:16] the beta is a live cd right? [01:16] beta-desktop? [01:17] windio00: you can get the beta as either a live cd or alternate install cd [01:17] the release candidate will come out next thursday [01:17] and the final release is the week after that (thursday the 24th) [02:23] 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. [02:24] did you check the bios to see if you have something that "protects" the master boot record? [02:27] SubOne: did you try one line with: noacpi nolacpi acpi=off [02:28] nolacpi? [02:28] i tried noacpi, acpi=off, pci=noacpi and all combinations od them together [02:30] SubOne: Yes, no-L-acpi [02:31] SubOne: not a one but an L. [02:31] k ill do that in a sec ty [02:31] SubOne: as one line noacpi nolacpi acpi=off [02:31] you can even toss in noirqpoll [02:33] k [02:37] breetai: still reboots [02:38] noirqpoll same [02:43] SubOne: how much memory do you have? [02:43] 128 - 1mb for shared vid [02:43] this is alt cd [02:45] Ok. [02:45] Have you run an md5sum on the CD? [02:45] yes [02:46] And the md5sum on the CD is ok? [02:46] yeah [02:46] lol [02:47] SubOne: I cant tell you how many times I have had radom reboots during an install due to a bad burn. [02:47] well this is always during kernel load [02:51] SubOne: I am grasping at straws here. You could try to update the bios on the PC [02:53] why would that effect the kernel load? [02:53] besides i think it just got updated :p [02:53] Well, o [02:54] If it is power management issues, with ACPI the BIOS update could resolve that. [02:54] i don't know that its a power management issue.... is that guarenteed or something? [02:54] I know that others with a Presario 7470 have loaded Ubuntu on their system. [02:54] Nope. [02:54] But moving to the latest BIOS is not a bad idea. [02:55] As long as you dont botch it and brick your unit. [02:55] But I don't even know if there are any bios updates for your system. [02:55] i think if there is i already updated but ill check later, any other suggestions? [02:56] 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.

[16:09] They should ban you from this # ... :) [16:10] ha ha ha ha. [16:10] SUSE wat? [16:10] well, i thought I'd "give back" a little for a change. [16:10] Which SuSE ? [16:11] give back to microsoft/novell? ;) [16:11] 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] donate to debian! [16:11] i feel like wrapping my brain around some problems and the debian distros I know well. [16:11] Suse 10.3 gnome [16:11] I see.

[16:13] thanks [16:16] 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.

Whenever I plug my pendrive in the USB I get two Thunar windows. Is it normal? Is there a way to change that? [21:28] S0210 its not normal. maybe your pendrive has a hidden second partition with vendor diagnostic tools [21:32] Stroganoff: Both of my pedrives does the same. But I don't think that's the case. [21:32] i dont even get one windows when pluggin in an usb drive [21:33] Stroganoff: Ahmm... Then probable it has something to do with my "Removable Drives and Media" settings. Let me see. [21:33] mv .config/xfce4 .config/xfce-backup [21:33] logout, try again [21:34] Or probably not... [21:40] hi [21:48] hi [21:57] 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? === danielm_ is now known as danielm [22:54] /KEYBINDINGS [22:57] S0210: I've this checked and thunar opens one window only [22:57] arualavi: Thank you [22:58] when I plugg the pen [22:59] I have no idea what's going on or how to debug. I simply changed settings not to open any windows for browseing. :-/ [23:01] if you don't have a second partition in the pen, i don't know what's happen also [23:01] mmm... [23:02] maybe you could tail -f /var/log/messages and plug in the pen [23:02] to see if there is some error or strange thing in logs [23:03] arualavi: I don't. [23:06] 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] if i remember right, this happened during an update to skype. [23:07] mikubuntu: skype isn't on the official repos, isn't it? [23:08] araulavi, not sure, but the update came in thru the regular update manager as recommended. [23:08] any suggestions? [23:10] 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. [23:11] * arualavi looking in man [23:12] mikubuntu: open a console and try [23:12] sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get -f upgrade [23:14] 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] I want to know how do I set the DNS address for my internet connection from the terminal [23:15] mikubuntu: just copy the command in the terminal [23:16] araulavi, it seems to be working... let you know in a few. the orange update icon has turned grey [23:18] user_1: /etc/network/interfaces [23:18] user_1: man interfaces, many examples on it [23:19] well, apologies for my english :-P [23:24] araulavi, thanks. gotta run pick up a friend. be back in a while, no doubt... [23:26] okay, I can get dri enabled booting from the Ubuntu 7.10 DesktopCD but not from the Xubuntu CD [23:34] * arualavi -> bed time [23:38] can I get rid of these icons I have on my desktop (homefolder/trash/filesystem icons) Shift-Del didn´t help [23:59] Alvinvvbvv: Settings -> Desktop
