[00:28] hello anyone at the keys here [00:28] I lost the botton and top panels when I powered off how do I get them back [00:28] why won't my damn computer start [00:29] o.O [00:29] ? [00:29] Shaba1: try running 'xfce4-panel' press alt-f2 to get a run dialog box [00:29] KEAL: because it is broke... Perhaps you would like to elaborate? [00:30] keeps saying either kernel panic or doesnt do anything after finishing trace [00:30] and? Is this a new install, are you booting from the livecd? Did you update the kernel, did you add a driver? [00:30] btw the bios has dead flash [00:31] i installed the os from a new iso 3 days ago [00:31] ever since today it won't start xubuntu [00:31] if it was working 3 days ago, what has changed? Did you add/remove anything? [00:31] it's just a crappy computer [00:32] how do i get it to progress beyond trae [00:32] how do i get it to progress beyond trace [00:32] there is a nonfunctional prompt [00:32] just a blinking curso [00:32] just a blinking cursor [00:32] that doesn't respond [00:32] you probably have read what it is telling you, and search for that error message on google or something [00:32] there is no error [00:33] took me 15 minutes just to get it to stop saying kernel panic [00:33] :( [00:34] try booting off the cd again. Try running something like the memory diagnostic... [00:34] brb moving that computer into here -.- [00:52] ok got computer in here [00:52] once it is working i can use the mirc i have installed on xubuntu [00:56] ok i have no f'ing clue what the f my computer is doing [00:57] use the 'up' and 'down' keys to select which entry is highlighted. [00:57] press enter to boot the selected OS, 'e' to edit the [00:57] commands before booting, or 'c' for a command-line [00:57] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [00:58] that is what is on the screen along wih an extended ascii gui [00:58] the list is empty [00:58] it's highlighting a blank line with and arrow pointing right on the right end [00:59] what the heck do i do now? [00:59] it has never done this before [00:59] have you tried booting off the cd yet? [00:59] how do i know which cd? my friend never labeled them [01:00] and i am out of blank cd's [01:00] I thin that did is zoredache I am rebooting right now to be suer [01:00] sure [01:00] should i just pop in a cd and see what happens until i find the right one? [01:00] the hdd is formatted with xubuntu etc [01:01] it shouldn't pop this up [01:01] KEAL: trying cds shouldn't hurt anything [01:01] it should go to xubuntu after it boots [01:02] it's not even listening to my keyboard now -.- [01:02] Sounds broken [01:02] kernel panic [01:03] [ 15.488622] Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle Task! [01:03] then it froze [01:04] thank zoredache [01:04] I will be back [01:04] [ 15.488622] Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task! [01:04] KEAL: and that is when you tried booting from a cd? [01:04] that rather [01:04] i have no idea what the hell it is trying to do [01:04] the bios doesn't even have functional flash [01:05] KEAL: if you don't know what is doing, then turn it off, and put the cd in and try to boot from it... [01:05] if your flash is really, truly fried though you may have to accept that there is nothing you can do [01:05] Starting up... [01:05] Loading, please wait... [01:06] /init: .: 24: Can't open /conf/arch.conf [01:06] [ 16.173465] Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! [01:07] then it froze again [01:07] g [01:07] btw the pins on the pentium 4 are really short [01:07] SOCKET 476 i think or 478 [01:08] i think it is an act of God that the machine runs at all [01:10] ok it booted off cdrom [01:10] i attempted to test cd for defects and it did kernel panic again -.- [01:12] keeps saying kernel panic -.- [01:12] Your hardware is broken [01:12] I would guess that is is about 95% likely you have a hardware failure of some sort. Possibly having to do with your trashed flash, or maybe something to do with the ide controller [01:12] either that or rebooting on it's own [01:12] :( [01:13] f this [01:13] * KEAL goes to the garage to start anew on a new machine i have laying around [01:15] ok God is seriously f'ing with my head today [01:16] i was just in the garage and the wrong case was on the other computer [01:16] i go out again and the right one is on it [01:16] !language | KEAL [01:16] KEAL: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:19] hallo [01:21] xaer0: hello [01:24] ive been using *buntu for about 3 years.. after playing around with openSUSE, Ubuntu, Fedora, GoblinX, Puppy Linux, and Slackware... Xubuntu beat all of em for me :L) [01:24] great :) [01:25] ive been thinking of getting more involved into the Xubuntu Community.. since my first dealings with a P2 350Mhz, a P3 800Mhz.. xubuntu work great [01:26] hell even on this 1.8Ghz Semperon 3000+, 1GB 800Mhz RAM.. Xubuntu rules [01:26] (overclocked my processor from 1.6 to 1.86Ghz) [01:28] i want to make some artwork for icons and wallpaper... but most my experance is a Paint Shop Pro 9 [01:29] this new project lead for Xubuntu... oh man reading his Strategy Document. Smart Man !!

[01:43] N64, MAME, and TG-16... all have to have a GUI [01:44] i dont like gaming with Command Line :( [01:44] no idea what tg-16 is, there are several graphical mame frontends and there is mupen64 for n64, no idea how good it is though [01:45] the Turbo-Grafx 16 .. the first ever 16 bit system ever created. released in 1989 in the US and 1986 in Japan [01:45] oh check this http://www.lockergnome.com/it/2008/07/07/ubuntu-at-best-buy/ [01:46] best buy now carried Ubuntu :) [01:46] *carries [01:48] well off to watch Hells Kitchen.. laters.. maybe ill get around to making images and logos for Xubuntu soon :L) === xaer0 is now known as xaer0_BBL [01:59] test [01:59] nearly electrocuted myself just now [01:59] spilled a soda on a mess of cables [02:35] hey all. having a prob with an old laptop. Installed xubuntu on it and now it stays stuck at loading manual drivers when I boot [02:35] specs: P2 266Mhz. 192Mgs of ram. Builtin graphic (intel, I think) [02:36] used to run gentoo on it, but got tired of updates taking 4 days to compile ;-) [02:37] anyone as an idea? [02:38] !ask [02:38] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [02:38] all: ^ [02:39] well, I am trying to get my laptop to boot past 'loading manual drivers'. How do I do that? (how is that?) [02:46] nice chanel. shitload of people, not one helpfull one [03:19] nice nick dos4gw [03:22] thanks! [03:22] :D === gaurdro is now known as MenschenFleisch [03:32] * lc2 drops pin [04:50] how do u make an sd card bootable [04:53] Hello, I was wondering If there is anything wrong with this setup? I was given a Windows Box via remote desktop to make a CoD server for our clan. I really prefer the Linux environment so I installed a Virtual Installation of Xubuntu and plan on running the CoD server from there. Is there anything wrong with this? [04:56] no [04:56] not that i see [04:57] though that depends on how well your virtualisation software plays with remote desktop [04:57] your = the [04:59] if they ask me why I did this, am I right in saying that linux is a more reliable server, especially when this windows server has to be running in gui? [04:59] and more efficient* [04:59] lc2: am i right? [04:59] well [04:59] uh oh :P [05:00] it's only going to be as reliable as the windows box and the virtualisation software [05:00] huh [05:00] whoopss.....g2g [05:00] thx for your input lc2 [05:00] kay === Jack_Of_Clubs_ is now known as Jilobyte [05:55] hello [05:55] i got problem here [05:55] my browsing become slow [05:55] http://pastebin.ca/1066334 [05:55] this is my firewall script [07:10] piju ? [07:20] ? [07:23] debugging iptables rules is kinda off-topic here. I would suggest checking #iptables, or maybe #ubuntu-server... [07:23] as a general reccomendation, why not do a tcpdump, or fire up etheral and see if you can see what is going on [07:25] if enabling the firewall makes something slow it usually means you are blocking something. In tcpdump you'll often see something trying to retransmit the same packet several times [07:26] another option would be to simple start clean and just add in one rule at a time, and test after each change [07:27] btw, is that firewall something you wrote yourself from scratch, or did you use something to generate it? [07:28] Do yourself a favour and use something to generate it if you aren't already. [08:32] hello [08:32] anyone is having problems with localization? I have xubuntu with the packages for spanish, but firefox is in english... [08:33] also the menus when exiting are not translated...

[11:25] microwaver: "stick", they make the window visible on all workspaces [11:25] TheSheep_, handy, love xubuntu so far, just one downside :P [11:25] microwaver: you can customize which buttojns are visible and where in the window manager settings [11:26] TheSheep_, no multiple dorpping / dragging on desktop [11:27] microwaver: yeah, I don't keep anything on the desktop, it's cleaner [11:28] TheSheep_, Mostly I download from FF straight to Desktop [11:28] and somethimes when I unrar/zip things it gets clutterd [11:31] * cody-somerville nods. [11:32] microwaver: you can open the Desktop directory in your home dir [11:33] any news on 'fixes' on that ? or reasons why it won't work in xfce and it does in gnome [11:33] I know sheep. but my lazyness makes me do more work than I wouldn't be doing when i'm not lazy : [11:40] microwaver: it will be fixed in next version of thunar [11:43] hello :) [11:43] thunar is the nautilus of xcfe right ? :p [11:43] http://pronto185.com/linux/screens/windowshots/07_09_08_06:33:30window.png odd, error :o [11:45] Is there a way to add keyboard shortcut to System monitor? [11:47] JannoTT, [11:47] Applications > Settings > Settings Manager > Shortcuts [11:49] Dont have that "shortcuts" button on settings manager. :/ [11:50] no [11:50] Applications > Settings > Settings Manager > Keyboard > Shortcuts [11:50] sorry :) [11:51] hey [11:51] now i got it. Thanks [11:51] Disk Managment in my panel menu isn't runnign as root [11:51] how do I fix it? [11:54] Nice! Ctrl and numlock del button now makes system monitor pop-up. [11:55] daurn, not sure what you're plannign to do [11:56] microwaver: when I goto Applications -> System -> Disk Management, it says I do not have permissions, and to run as root [11:56] I would think I need to edit the command to add gksu infront of the command being called? [11:56] but I don't know how to edit the menu [11:56] when I goto edit menu, you can only change the master menu, which actually includes the main section from another file [11:59] daurn, you added Disk Management yourself ? did ya? [11:59] no? [12:03] because when I go to Applications -> System > hmmm [12:06] oh well [12:06] what do I use for managing partitions? [12:08] you want to resize them and stuff? [12:09] yeah [12:09] i've always used gParted [14:05] anyone at the keys here [14:06] What is the equivalent of Media Player Classic + FFDSHOW for Xubuntu?? === adam is now known as maxamillion [14:20] kikr_: totem + ffmpeg [14:25] does anyone know how I can control the apci properties of my laptop [14:25] like how long it takes before it goes into standby mode,monitor off mode e.t.c [14:26] Shaba2: you can install gnome-power-manager... [14:32] TheSheep_: apt-get install gnome-power-manager? [14:32] I assume [14:32] ? [14:33] yeah, with sudo [14:33] thanks [14:33] ok second question [14:34] shoot [14:34] Someone told me how to get vino to start up automagically at boot on this laptop I am typing on now [14:36] I just set up ubuntu on my moms laptop becasue I coudl not get her windows xp recovery disk to install without the laptop shutting down [14:36] BUT Now I do not remember the instuctions he gave me. [14:37] I have the script that he made in a dpaste [14:37] but do not know where I put it or how I start it up :( [14:38] any ideas [14:38] can you show the script? [14:38] hold on [14:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/23652/ [14:40] Shaba2: I can tell you how to start it n login, but not on boot [14:41] this is very important. Since its on my moms laptop. And trust me she will be calling me all hours of day or night asking questions. So I would rather just remote into her laptop and solve them [14:41] Well for her its the same thing since I have autologin set up [14:45] TheSheep_: ?? [14:46] Shaba2: just put it in ~/.config/autostart [14:46] in a .desktop file [14:47] Ok hold on [14:47] alternatively you could also just add it with settings->autostarted applications [14:47] I am on the xubuntu side of my laptop [14:47] I have vino set up that way on this machine. [14:47] but like I said I forgot how I did it. [14:48] let me check ~/.config/autostart [14:50] TheSheep_: No ts not in there [14:50] ah .desktop sounds familiar [14:50] where would I normally find those? [14:55] Shaba2: all over the place, these are launcher files [14:55] Shaba2: type 'locate .desktop' to get a list [14:57] Sorry to be so dense.But working and 11pm-7:30 am shift does not make ones mind the sharpest in the morning. [14:57] Shaba2: I also don't know a solution [14:57] Shaba2: I'm trying to guess... [14:57] Shaba2: if you remember the name of the file you used, you can 'locate' it too [15:00] thanks TheSheep_ i will just leave a memo for cyphase. [15:00] He was the one that told me how to do it. [15:03] found it TheSheep_ [15:03] you gave me enough hints to find where it was [15:06] Ok third question TheSheep_ [15:06] if you are still here. [15:06] I have a wifi print sever that she(mom) brought [15:06] I have got it working in windows [15:06] how would I get it to print from xubuntu [15:06] and yes I know that is a very generic question [15:18] Shaba2: there is some documentation on it on the desktop guide [15:18] Shaba2: I'm not really familiar with printers either [15:18] desktop guide?

[16:38] ok hit that ball --> Myrtti [16:40] well now. I think I've seen someplace a way to tweak that [16:42] hm, was wrong [16:42] anyway... [16:42] do a simple symbolic link to it? [16:43] ln -s /media/diskf32 $HOME/Desktop/diskf32 [16:45] ok [16:45] is it the same as "Create launcher" ? [16:45] not exactly [16:46] symbolic link creates a link that you can use straight up [16:46] ie. save stuff to Desktop/diskf32/folder/foo/bar [16:46] it Just Works [16:47] for every and all of the apps [16:48] ok... I did... [16:48] hey7 cannot change the icon [16:49] mmm... it does not shows on thunar either [16:49] on the left panel [16:49] I can see my home folder, trash, desktop, filesystem. floppy === kikr_ is now known as kikr [19:13] Hi! [19:15] I have a problem with autostarting apps in xubuntu: I put them in the autostart list, and nothing happens. I was just trying to get the autostarted apps function to run a script by giving it "sh /path/script.sh" as the command. Any ideas? [19:24] menovamike, first, make sure the script is executable, second try it without the sh. If I remember right I am running one or two that are called without the sh [19:25] Great, I'll try it.
