[00:00] umm.. is eth0 your wired device? [00:00] hmmm, can't pastebin, cause no connection ... i don't know, but dhcp doesn't work, even tho the icon appears like there is a connection monitor icon not x'd out [00:01] its etho cable, but when i tried manual config i had to select etho avahi to get ip address, but it did not match the ip addresses that i got from this other windows machine doing ipconfig [00:02] open up a terminal on the machine. make sure the wire is plugged in and run these to commands: [00:02] sudo dhclient -r eth0 [00:02] sudo dhclient eth0 [00:03] you mean the windows machine or the ubuntu machine [00:03] Usuario: the ubuntu machine that you are trying to connect... [00:03] ok, brb [00:07] ok, what should i be looking for in the output [00:09] Usuario: try to "ping -c 3 google.com" [00:09] in terminal type that [00:09] sorry i don't know where question mark is on this spanish keyboard, nothing matches, ezackly [00:10] you should be looking for something like"bound to 192.168.1.101 -- renewal in 299133 seconds." in the output [00:10] Usuario: yes, ping in terminal [00:12] i get invalid option 3 [00:15] Usuario: from dhclient? or ping? [00:16] ping [00:18] Usuario: did you type it in exactly as i wrote? ping -c 3 google.com [00:19] lemme try again [00:22] is it 3google.com or 3 google.com does it make a difference [00:24] unknown host google.com [00:24] Usuario: there is a space between 3 and google [00:24] ya, i did it with the space [00:25] Usuario: or just see if you can browse the web... [00:25] no, cannot yet [00:26] we never discussed the output of the dhclient command you gave me [00:28] Usuario: hmm. did the sudo dhclient eth1 give any errors? [00:28] eth0 [00:28] well, you should get something like "bound to 192.168.1.101 -- renewal in 299133 seconds." in the output [00:28] the last two lines are no DHCPOFFERS received, and no working leases in persistant databases ... sleeping [00:29] Usuario: do you know whether the server is running a dhcp server? or no? [00:30] i don't know and the owner doesn't either [00:31] well, then probably it doesn't... [00:31] but i can't get an automatic connection, i do know that [00:31] you will have to setup the server and client for a static ip address... [00:31] i did an ipconfig in the windows terminal on this machine and tried manually inserting that output via static ip entry boxes, but no connection either [00:33] * Usuario is lost [00:34] Anyone here who can help a beginner? [00:35] pierrereimertz: whassup, from one beginner to another [00:35] hehe [00:35] im fine, thank you. :) [00:35] im trying to get my hfs+ external usb drive to connect to my ps3 [00:35] im at 7.10 [00:35] gutsy === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale [00:36] ok, hope someone else is listening cuz that one is out of my scope... [00:36] Usuario: sorry, i lost connection... [00:36] with kernel 2.6.25 [00:36] (ok, Usuario :) ) [00:37] But it seems that the kernel dosen't have hfs+ support [00:37] Usuario: as i was saying, you either need to setup a static ip, or setup a dhcp server... [00:37] okis, don't know if you saw that i said i had done an ipconfig in the windows terminal on this machine, and i tried those numbers in the network config for static ip on the ubuntu box, but no function there either [00:38] what do you suggest i do next then [00:38] (Odd-rationale, if your a linux expert, is it ok if i ask you a question after your done with Usuario?) [00:38] pierrereimertz: no, because i am not a linux expert... :( [00:38] hehe, ok [00:39] pierrereimertz: ask anyways, there are plenty of people in the channel... [00:39] Usuario: where is the other end of the wire plugged into? a router? [00:40] yes, i say hesitantly [00:40] carlos rebooted the routers today to get these windows machines back up, and mine is the last one in the string as far as i know [00:41] Usuario: i haven't had much experience with the server side of networking... [00:41] plus the server is on windows? [00:42] yes [00:43] Usuario: i afraid i can't help much further... the best thing you can do is find out how to configure dhcp on ther server... [00:44] omg, i lost now [00:44] or find out whether or not it runs dhcp... [00:44] Usuario: it helps to know the network configuration... :) [00:45] ok, is that something you could tell me where to find on his computer, which is the server [00:47] well, i never setup a dhcp server in windows... [00:47] in fact, i didn't know what dhcp was when i was using windows... ;) [00:47] Problem; Cant get my HFS + (not journaled) External drive to connect with my PS3. Im running Xubuntu 7.10 with kernel 2.6.25 (may be a custom one that i found psubuntu.com). I can se both partitions on the desktop but when i try to open them it says "hfpsplus not supported" . [00:48] ok, well thanks for all your help anyways, i will ask around the restaurant and see if anyone knows about server side [00:48] Usuario: sorry i couldn't help more.. [00:49] pierrereimertz: can you not use another file system? [00:49] no [00:49] np, you always try i think this is first time we stumped [00:50] Usuario: i don't remember what we worked on last... ;) [00:50] i have a external drive with hfs+ on the partitions.. xubuntu wont mount them [00:50] pierrereimertz: is hfs supported on ubuntu? [00:50] anybody else know how i might proceed with this connection problem, linking an ubuntu box to a wired windows network [00:50] yeah [00:50] i think so, on standard kernels [00:51] but i have a special one because i sit on a ps3 [00:54] does anyone know how to upgrade a kernel? [00:54] i really wonder if its just something in the xubuntu [00:54] !hfs [00:54] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For NTFS write access, see /msg ubottu NTFS-3g or /msg ubottu FUSE [00:57] when i write sudo fdisk -l i dont se the tables [00:57] its so wierd everything.. [00:57] i really wonder if should reinstall xubuntu [00:58] but i dont want to loose my kernel with wifisupport.. [01:02] i gtg. hope you all solve you issues... === pierrereimertz is now known as pierrer === adam is now known as maxamillion [02:00] hi there, looking for some help with xubuntu on an ibook g3 500mhz. having display issues === computer is now known as notme === notme is now known as giacomo === giacomo is now known as giacomo_casanova [02:04] hi there, I'm looking for some help with display problems. xubuntu 7.04 ppc, ibook g3 500 mhz [02:19] just installed xubuntu on my Sony VGN-C140G, everything worked out of the box. [02:19] this is the first distro that has. [04:37] hey all. I installed xubuntu on an asus eee pc. I'm having trouble getting connected to my wifi. I'm pretty sure my wpa_supplicant is working as 'sudo iwlist ath0 scanning' shows my correct network but then I'm not getting an ip === adam is now known as maxamillion [06:36] I have a question. Is it just me or does every version of Ubuntu have some "gnomish" element to it? [06:37] I'm using Xubuntu right now and I've noticed the similar feel it has to Gnome [06:39] How much hard drive space would an xubuntu install take up? [06:41] RoughriderUT: about 2GB [06:41] RoughriderUT: I literally jsut installed it [06:42] It's always best to strip it down, though [06:42] use dpkg --get-selections to see all the packages installed on the system [06:43] or dpkg --get-selections | grep x11 and it will find all packages installed that have "x11" in the name [06:44] and look up the packages at packages.ubuntu.com to decide what you want to keep [06:44] hope that helps ;) [06:44] Thanks, just having a conversation on another net, and a friend wants a minimal install of linux, thought xubuntu might work for what he needs [06:44] a minimal install is tough [06:45] Yea, figured that... he might have to go with another small distro. [06:46] he could get an Ubuntu minimal cd image, do a CLI install from the Ubuntu alternate CD, or build his custom *buntu from within an existing Debian based install [06:46] the first 2 are easier but the last one gives you more control [06:47] yea... he might go for the install minus the desktop... [06:47] basically he wants ftp, http, and samba [06:47] start with ubuntu server, or a 'cli' install using the alternatecd [06:48] there's a Damn Mini Linux === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache [06:48] Thought of that also [06:49] I find that the Debian kernel is more stable [06:49] I'm currently working on a custom Ubuntu build with fluxbox [06:49] which is why I want to try fluxbuntu [06:51] I installed VM, it's as fast as real, great satisfaction [06:53] vm? [06:53] virtual machine [06:53] I use vmware [06:53] xubuntu host, winxp guest [06:54] i'm not fond of virtual machines [06:54] I'm thinking of install another VM, install the Damn Mini Linux in the VM, just for movies and music [06:54] I used virtualbox [06:54] Thanks for the info... later [06:54] np [06:54] how is it working? [06:55] just fine [06:55] great [06:55] I only use it to test liveCDs [06:55] I see, I need VM to run my windows softwares [06:55] I made a version of XP that's about 200MB smaller than a full XP install and it works on virtual box [06:56] I use mini XP too :) [06:56] I have Xubuntu (for now), XP, and my custom *buntu based build [06:57] XP is a necessary evil :( [06:57] Hi everyone... I have a problem with Xubuntu 8.04 at the moment.... trying it from a Live CD, my SATA HDD isn't detected :-( [06:57] yes, we'll just have to wait Linux become a nomral life style, then, we can get everything ready for Linux [06:58] I've searched the ubuntuforum etc but so far haven't found any info that has helped. [06:58] Xub_HDD_not_dete: post errors via pastebin.com [06:59] chowder: Ok... I'm not sure what you meant by that ... [06:59] Xub_HDD_not_dete: also which CD did you use? [06:59] chowder: Xubuntu 8.04 desktop iso [06:59] pastebin is a site that allows you to post text too large to de displayed on IRC (spambots, etc.) [07:00] chowder: Oh, ok, thanks.... then once I've pasted up there do I post the link to it here? [07:00] you got it :) [07:00] chowder: And how do I find the boot log(s) etc within Xubuntu? [07:01] aah, desktop. Maybe the alternate install CD is different? Also try googling for your model of Hard drive with Ubuntu in quotes like this: my hard drive "ubuntu" [07:01] Xub_HDD_not_dete: I'm not sure of [07:01] chowder: Ok... [07:03] hi [07:04] I have xubuntu installed. I have only one desktop. before I had 4. does anyone know how to switch that one again ? [07:08] middle click on the desktop [07:08] add new workspace [07:20] Hi everyone.... how do I find the boot log(s) etc within Xubuntu? (Thanks) [07:52] Hello, I'm experiencing a 'jitter' on the right hand side of my laptop screen [10:32] hi guys [10:32] i have a problem with Virtual Box [10:33] i downloaded this version from SUN website and installed it: VirtualBox-1.6.0-Linux_x86.run [10:34] when i installed it, it says that it was installed successfully, but when i try to run the program , nothing happens! [10:34] it doesn't work [10:35] I have xubuntu 8.04 [10:35] so what is the problem??? is it with the version i have?? [10:35] should i download the Ubuntu version or the Linux version that i have? [10:44] guys, why can't i Past something on the Desktop????????? [10:45] the "Paste" icon doens't appear! [10:46] rockyrock: take the ubutu version. A .deb package is always better than anything else :) [10:47] rockyrock: but you probably have to cleanly uninstall the .run before to install the .deb [10:47] will "any" .deb package run for sure???? [10:48] yes please how can i uninstall it?? [10:48] rockyrock: I don't know, it's explained in the virtualbox documentation for sure [10:49] rockyrock: to install the .deb, just run "sudo dpkg -i thepackage.deb" [10:49] thnx [10:50] rockyrock: there is 2 ubuntu 8.04 version, the x86 and the AMD64 [10:51] rockyrock: take the one corresponding to your processor [10:52] if i have a X86 version can i install it on a AMD64 pro?? cuz the 64 bit processor will run the 32bit versions, right? [10:52] yeah [10:53] ok, so the one corresponding to the architecture of your installed xubuntu rather than the architecture of your CPU :) [10:54] :] [10:54] what about the Paste problem, do u know why it doesn't appear when trying to Paste on the Desktop??? [10:55] is it something with XFCE? [10:56] perhaps, anyway it works with ctrl-c/ctrl-v [10:56] to copy from/in a console, it's shift+control-c/v [10:57] i'm sorry it doesn't work with me! [10:57] you have to install the guest additions in your guest [10:58] what are the guest additions!!!! [10:58] if you go in the guest window menu "device" at the bottom there is a "install guest addition" [10:59] it will launch a CD on the guest, and on this CD you can see a .exe to install the additions on a windows system, or a .run to install on a linux system [11:00] rockyrock: probably you better to read the doc of the app you're using, in order to well understand what you're doing, and to take advantage of the power of your apps... [11:02] oky thnx [11:26] Hi, I need some help... How do I set keyboard shortcut for changing layout in Xubuntu? [11:27] Emm.... Anybody can help me? [11:44] I need help! [11:44] I wanna know how to set keyboard shortcut for changing layout [11:44] 59 people in room and no one can help =\ [12:02] where do adjust shortcuts to applications? [12:07] microwaver: which shortcuts? [12:17] TheSheep, i.e. I want to start the terminal ctrl + alt + x [12:18] how do I do such a thing, in Gnome there was a easy options, where do i config it (manually!? ) [12:23] settings->setting manager->keyboard settings [12:34] Hello! Is there a way to change icon size in xfce-menu on panel? [12:34]  I tryed with .gtkrc-2.0 but nothing... === adam is now known as maxamillion [14:34] silence... [14:34] lol [14:54] hello [14:54] Can I install xubuntu 6.10 ppc on an ibook g3 and then upgrade to 8.04? [15:13] Theo_: you can't do a direct upgrade to 8.04 from 6.10. If your ppc has the newer intel chip, why not install 8.04 directly? [15:14] i would rather use xubuntu [15:14] because it ibook has 500MHz and 384MB RAM [15:14] i think that xubuntu would have better performance [15:15] Okay, but unless you have the intel chip, you won't be able to install Xubuntu 8.04 [15:15] oh [15:16] so the only xubuntu available for ppc is 6.10? [15:16] You can install 6.06, which is supported until June 2009 [15:16] That is the previous Long Term Support version that was replaced by 8.04 [15:27] if i get ubuntu 8.04 ppc and do sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop could that be an alternative? [15:27] would it be like ubuntu but faster? [15:29] I think that would work, but I don't really know if xubuntu-desktop will install. I do install that way at times on my systems, because [15:29] ubuntu's installer seems faster for some versions. [15:29] I'm looking to see if Xfce supports the ilink now. [15:30] no, I meant ibook [15:30] what do you think i should do? get and use xubuntu 6.10 ppc? or just use ubuntu 8.04 ppc? [15:31] i want something that is fast and light because the ibook is quite old and slow [15:32] I would use Xubuntu 6.06 if you really want xubuntu. It is out now in 6.06.01, and is a good version [15:34] i wanted something fast and light [15:34] i used xubuntu on a really old hp and it worked great [15:34] do you think that xubuntu will run much faster than ubuntu? [15:34] Xubuntu 6.06 is fast and light. It is older, but will have updates for another year. [15:35] Xubuntu 6.10 become unsupported as of April of this year. [15:36] It reached the end of it's cycle [15:36] i meant 6.6 then [15:37] do you think i should download the alternate or the desktop cd? [15:37] Oh, okay. I still have one system I need to upgrade from 6.06 here. It works great for me, [15:38] download the ppc version from http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs-Xubuntu/6.06.1/release.1/ or another mirror [15:38] yeah, i was looking there [15:38] Sorry, I always use the alternate cd myself [15:38] It seems to work better for me [15:38] hmm [15:39] its much faster [15:39] Yes, I agree [15:39] do you think it would be slow on 384mb? [15:39] I only have 256 on the system using it [15:39] what i mean is, do you think the desktop cd will be slow booting on 384mb [15:40] It's a little slow, but faster than Ubuntu [15:40] I don't know about the desktop cd [15:40] i will just get both and try both [15:41] i bought the ibook for $150 on ebay and an 120gb hdd i can'y t wait to try it! [15:42] Sounds like a good deal. Good luck with it, and don't forget, the help wiki and the forums are good for answers, too [15:43] thanks [15:43] Hope it helped [15:44] yeah, i understand it better now [15:44] * charlie-tca :) [15:44] when it arrives i will see how it goes with dualbooting mac 10.3 [15:45] That should work, too [15:45] i had to illegally download mac 10.3 because it doesn't come with it! [15:45] i mean it doesnt come with the cds [15:45] do you know if backtrack is in ppc? (slax) [15:46] I don't [15:48] anyway if slax is only intel i can get aircrack-ng for getting into wifi networks [15:51] bye bye [15:52] bye and good luck [17:04] hola [17:04] !hi | abracadabra [17:04] abracadabra: Hi!

[18:18] hello, i use xubuntu 8.04 and everytime i start the graphical part my internet connection dies on me [18:18] without gdm starting i can connect on commandline just fine [18:18] anyone have any idea what's up? [18:25] i need some help! my pc keeps BEEPING O_O [18:25] its really annoying [18:26] whats the easiest way to stop it under xubuntu?? [18:26] its like beeping every second [18:27] at what point does it start beeping? [18:27] logging in [18:27] thats when it starts [18:29] its really annoying [18:29] and i am in a public room here [18:29] :( [18:29] i am not very familar with xubuntu, i'm sorry [18:29] is there a standart terminal way to stop it? [18:30] you could try killing programms until you find the culprit [18:31] hey [18:31] what are you trying to stop? [18:33] the beeping [18:33] i found a way [18:33] xset b off [18:33] thanks for your help anyway :) [18:33] cu guys [18:34] ah the beeping [18:34] isn't that something in the bash profile you can turn off? [18:34] oops he's gone [18:35] setterm -blength 0 [18:35] in $HOME/.bash_profile === rausb0 is now known as Invisionfree === charlie-tca_ is now known as charlie-tca [21:44] hi [21:45] hello [21:46] after checking the package list i've seen a lot of xserver-xorg-video-* (ati, i810,..), and when marking any of them for being removed (i only need the mga one) all them pretend to remove also xserver-xorg-video-all [21:46] should i really remove this package? [21:47] I believe you can remove it, yes. May I ask why you are trying? [21:47] unless you are trying to fit on a really small drive it seems like it would be a wasted effort [21:48] i was simply trying to remove unused packages.. but the drive is medium sized [21:48] there's no true space problem there [21:50] If it was me, then I wouldn't do it. Removing packages imply to recover drive space doesn't make much sense if you have free space [21:51] plus, what happens in six months when you swap video cards, or what to put this drive into another computer? [21:52] i doubt that.. this is my slave computer, it's managed remotely, and is only dedicated to manage downloads and this kind of stuff [21:56] isn't xserver-xorg-video-all just a blanket package that automatically includes all the video drivers? [21:56] I don't see why you couldn't just keep the one that you need [21:57] thinkmassive: it is... I am just arguing against removing too much of what you think you don't need [21:57] that and spending lots of time trying to figure out if you can delete things that aren't doing anything other then taking up a small portion of your drive [21:57] that's the idea.. i've seen a lot of different xservers, and i only need one.. in fact sometimes i use vnc, so i don't know if even the matrox one is currently needed.. but this one can be left, maybe someday i have to plug the monitor again xD [21:58] Personally I would spend more time on trying to remove any un-needed services from being loaded [22:00] right now my services list looks fine, i think [22:01] so the question is, if this is just for downloads, could you drop the gui completely and use the cli tools? You would free up a lot of disk space with no gui [22:01] The USB mouse on this Xubuntu is still *way* too fast even on the slowest setting. [22:01] i can't live without azureus :) [22:01] How can I change it to go even slower? [22:02] still have too many anime series waiting to be downloaded xD [22:02] bittornado running inside gnu screen has always been enough for me [22:04] i could also use text-only programs for web and irc downloads, but i prefer the graphical versions [22:17] good evening everyone [22:17] nini [22:18] i have a dilema does the xubuntu package come with a tool to help configure diaup [22:20] I know wvdial is installed, but I am not sure what or if there is a gui to control it [22:20] gui idc about [22:20] i prefer terminal [22:21] tyvm for ur help [22:28] Yud_Zroc: what have you tried so far?
