[00:00] <breetai> I saw a recomendation for trying  noapic nolapic acpi=off
[00:01] <breetai> I have to jet Subone, I may be back later
[00:01] <SubOne> nolapic?
[01:07] <windio00> is the beta fairly stable?
[01:09] <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.
[01:10] <j1mc> it's up to you though.
[01:10] <windio00> are they serious?
[01:11] <j1mc> no.  i've had a good experience, but we're still fixing bugs.
[01:12] <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
[01:16] <windio00> the beta is a live cd right?
[01:16] <windio00> beta-desktop?
[01:17] <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)
[02:23] <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.
[02:24] <vidd> did you check the bios to see if you have something that "protects" the master boot record?
[02:27] <breetai> SubOne: did you try one line with: noacpi nolacpi acpi=off
[02:28] <SubOne> nolacpi?
[02:28] <SubOne> i tried noacpi, acpi=off, pci=noacpi and all combinations od them together
[02:30] <breetai> SubOne: Yes, no-L-acpi
[02:31] <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
[02:33] <SubOne> k
[02:37] <SubOne> breetai: still reboots
[02:38] <SubOne> noirqpoll same
[02:43] <breetai> SubOne: how much memory do you have?
[02:43] <SubOne> 128 - 1mb for shared vid
[02:43] <SubOne> this is alt cd
[02:45] <breetai> Ok.
[02:45] <breetai> Have you run an md5sum on the CD?
[02:45] <SubOne> yes
[02:46] <breetai> And the md5sum on the CD is ok?
[02:46] <SubOne> yeah
[02:46] <SubOne> lol
[02:47] <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
[02:51] <breetai> SubOne: I am grasping at straws here. You could try to update the bios on the PC
[02:53] <SubOne> why would that effect the kernel load?
[02:53] <SubOne> besides i think it just got updated :p
[02:53] <breetai> Well, o
[02:54] <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.
[02:55] <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?
[02:56] <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.
[02:57] <SubOne> i have knoppixlivecd
[02:58] <SubOne> sec...
[05:08] <odin> anyone knows which hinter is default in xubuntu 7.10? autohinter or the bytecode interpreter?

[16:00] <uninvited> Hi philphoto
[16:01] <philphoto> hola
[16:07] <philphoto> I cheated on xubuntu...  moved my primary system over to SUSE, but still use Xubuntu on the little laptops.
[16:09] <uninvited> They should ban you from this # ... :)
[16:10] <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 ?
[16:11] <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
[16:12] <philphoto> Stroganoff: no I meant give back as in helping ubuntu users.
[16:13] <Kargarian> thanks
[16:16] <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.
[17:13] <chewit> does anyone know what is happening with Thunar 1.0.0?
[17:35] <The-Kernel> How do I change the font size? Is that's whats in "Window Manager Settings"?
[17:42] <CarinArr> hey, anyone using xubuntu on their ps3?
[17:50] <slimjimflim> anybody know how to change the sound device for the non-free flash package?
[17:51] <slimjimflim> ...flashplugin-nonfree
[18:20] <eu> How can install the client vpn nortel?
[18:20] <eu> in ubuntu
[18:45] <Tu13es> what's the xfce login manager called?
[18:45] <Tu13es> like, gnome's is gdm
[18:47] <gaurdro> I believe xfce can use either kdm or gdm for it's desktop manager.
[18:47] <Tu13es> gotcha
[18:48] <Tu13es> I wasn't sure if it used something else since it says xubuntu
[18:51] <nikolam> i even used xdm once
[18:51] <nikolam> gdm is default
[18:52] <nikolam> xdm is even lighter bit its a bit uglier by default
[18:53] <Stroganoff> you can use slim
[18:53] <Stroganoff> not that ugly by default
[21:24] <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?
[21:28] <Stroganoff> S0210 its not normal. maybe your pendrive has a hidden second partition with vendor diagnostic tools
[21:32] <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
[21:33] <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
[21:34] <S0210> Or probably not...
[21:40] <rzr> hi
[21:48] <Stroganoff> hi
[21:57] <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?
[22:54] <S0210>  /KEYBINDINGS
[22:57] <arualavi> S0210: I've this checked and thunar opens one window only
[22:57] <S0210> arualavi: Thank you
[22:58] <arualavi> when I plugg the pen
[22:59] <S0210> 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] <arualavi> if you don't have a second partition in the pen, i don't know what's happen also
[23:01] <arualavi> mmm...
[23:02] <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
[23:03] <S0210> arualavi: I don't.
[23:06] <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.
[23:07] <arualavi> mikubuntu: skype isn't on the official repos, isn't it?
[23:08] <mikubuntu> araulavi, not sure, but the update came in thru the regular update manager as recommended.
[23:08] <mikubuntu> any suggestions?
[23:10] <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.
[23:11]  * arualavi looking in man
[23:12] <arualavi> mikubuntu: open a console and try
[23:12] <arualavi> sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get -f upgrade
[23:14] <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
[23:15] <arualavi> mikubuntu: just copy the command in the terminal
[23:16] <mikubuntu> araulavi, it seems to be working... let you know in a few.  the orange update icon has turned grey
[23:18] <arualavi> user_1: /etc/network/interfaces
[23:18] <arualavi> user_1: man interfaces, many examples on it
[23:19] <arualavi> well, apologies for my english :-P
[23:24] <mikubuntu> araulavi, thanks. gotta run pick up a friend.  be back in a while, no doubt...
[23:26] <user_1> 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] <Alvinvvbvv> can I get rid of these icons I have on my desktop (homefolder/trash/filesystem icons) Shift-Del didn´t help
[23:59] <Stroganoff> Alvinvvbvv: Settings -> Desktop
