| craigbass1976 | Anyone experienced wick slowness when booting from the livecd? I realize things will be quite a bit slower than an install, but this box runs XP, and I waited a half hour or better to get to the desktop.

| evilbug | and how to access the power preferences panel. | 03:17 |

| craigbass1976 | zoredache, I couldn't get a terminal in xub... | 03:28 |
| zoredache | craigbass1976: your processor is ok, but you really need more ram for the livecd to work | 03:28 |
| zoredache | 192 is required more is reccomended | 03:28 |
| craigbass1976 | zoredache, well, how about just the install then? | 03:28 |
| craigbass1976 | Will installed xub run ok? | 03:28 |
| zoredache | craigbass1976: for that you want to look at the alternate installer | 03:29 |
| zoredache | craigbass1976: it will run, but some memory hungry applications (firefox) won't do so well | 03:29 |

| Bubalooshi | Hello everybody, I am back with a problem. | 14:48 |
| Bubalooshi | Whenever I try to boot up Ubuntu, I get a command shell (initramfs) and I cannot proceed to logging on. | 14:49 |
| Bubalooshi | I have Ubuntu 8.04.1-Desktop for those helping. | 14:50 |
| Bubalooshi | Vinnl! | 14:51 |
| vinnl | Bubalooshi! :) | 14:51 |
| Bubalooshi | I has a problem still X_X | 14:51 |
| vinnl | :( | 14:51 |
| vinnl | What's the problem? | 14:51 |
| Bubalooshi | Whenever I try to boot up Ubuntu, I get the command shell (initramfs) and I cannot logon. Or do anything. | 14:52 |
| vinnl | Ow :( | 14:52 |
| Bubalooshi | I heard yesterday it may be a problem with booting up, which sounds right, but I have no idea how to fix it. | 14:52 |
| vinnl | Me neither, unfortunately | 14:52 |
| Bubalooshi | You know anybody that might be able to help me? | 14:53 |
| vinnl | The people in #xubuntu :P | 14:53 |
| vinnl | Bubalooshi, or perhaps you could try the xubuntu-users mailinglist | 14:53 |
| Bubalooshi | What's that? | 14:53 |
| vinnl | Bubalooshi, https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users | 14:54 |
| vinnl | When you subscribe to it, you will get all emails sent to that list in your inbox | 14:54 |

| Bubalooshi | Yeah that's what I was thinking. :p | 14:55 |
| vinnl | And perhaps a message on the Ubuntu forums can help too | 14:55 |
| Bubalooshi | So it's kinda like a forum through e-mailing? | 14:55 |
| vinnl | Bubalooshi, yep | 14:56 |
| vinnl | Bubalooshi, a forum where every post is sent to your inbox | 14:56 |
| === leche_y_galletas is now known as leche | ||
| Bubalooshi | Do you think the forum is better? I just subscribed to it, but do you think the forum is good too? | 14:58 |
| vinnl | Bubalooshi, there are a *lot* of knowledgeable people on the forum | 14:58 |
| vinnl | You might not have that much luck with Xubuntu-specific problems, but a problem like this should have a good chance there | 14:59 |
| Bubalooshi | Alright, I'm registering right now. | 15:02 |
| Bubalooshi | Thanks. | 15:02 |
| vinnl | good luck :) | 15:02 |
| Bubalooshi | I have a n00b question. | 15:07 |
| Bubalooshi | Whaich board do you think I most appropriate for this? There's so many. | 15:07 |
| vinnl | Hmm, let me see | 15:08 |
| vinnl | Bubalooshi, this happens every time, since you've installed Xubuntu? | 15:09 |
| Bubalooshi | That's the problem... I've been able to get through only two times. | 15:10 |
| Bubalooshi | The first time after install, and then I got the problem many times. | 15:10 |
| Bubalooshi | Then randomly it worked again. | 15:11 |
| vinnl | That's strange | 15:11 |
| vinnl | Well, I'd go for either General Help or Installation & Upgrades | 15:11 |
| Bubalooshi | Alright, thanks. | 15:11 |

| ubottu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 15:33 |
| simbacat | both ntfs-3g and ntfs-config are installed | 15:34 |
| TheSheep | simbacat: is 'fuse' loaded? try 'lsmod | grep fuse' | 15:34 |
| simbacat | problem is, it keeps automounting external NTFS disks with the ro option | 15:34 |
| TheSheep | can you just add a line to your fstab and tell it to mount rw? | 15:35 |
| simbacat | TheSheep: yes, fuse is loaded | 15:35 |
| simbacat | I could, but then I will have to add an entry for every external NTFS disk | 15:35 |
| TheSheep | hw many of them do you have? | 15:36 |
| simbacat | We work with lots of digital media and get clients with many hdds | 15:37 |
| TheSheep | I see | 15:37 |
| simbacat | So far it mounted drives just fine | 15:37 |
| TheSheep | maybe someone else will know, r you could check the forum and bugtracker -- maybe there is a workaround already | 15:38 |
| simbacat | Thanks | 15:38 |
| simbacat | I will look around | 15:38 |
| xaer0 | hello | 16:21 |
| xaer0 | i think i may have a broken system :( | 16:21 |
| vinnl | Oh my :) | 16:21 |
| xaer0 | well its working now but i need some help | 16:21 |
| vinnl | What's the problem? | 16:21 |
| xaer0 | is there a command to list all dependencies currently installed? | 16:22 |
| vinnl | xaer0, dependencies of what? | 16:22 |
| AlexCONRAD | xaer0: all packages? | 16:22 |
| xaer0 | yes all packages | 16:22 |
| AlexCONRAD | dpkg --help might help | 16:23 |
| AlexCONRAD | xaer0: dpkg --list | 16:23 |
| arf`_ | xaer0: either "dpkg --get-selections" or "aptitude search ~i" | 16:23 |
| xaer0 | lets see if i can explain what i have done :P | 16:23 |
| xaer0 | k, started with ubuntu, then installed xu, then installed ku, than openGEU ... desided that i didnt need ubuntu or KDE anymore.. tried to remove everything related to them | 16:24 |
| AlexCONRAD | :) | 16:24 |
| xaer0 | so far im lost | 16:24 |
| vinnl | xaer0, so what's the problem? Missing some packages? | 16:25 |
| xaer0 | but its working after i reinstalled gdm LOL that was a mistake | 16:25 |
| xaer0 | so GDM is my default | 16:25 |
| arf`_ | xaer0: a smooth way could be to put what you want to keep as manually installed, and tu put everything else as automatically installed | 16:25 |
| AlexCONRAD | yeah, when you uninstall gnome, it removes GDM | 16:25 |
| AlexCONRAD | which is needed for xfce to start up | 16:26 |
| xaer0 | well GDM is screwing up my Log In window by not displaying it all | 16:26 |
| AlexCONRAD | (well, I guess you can start xfce another way though) | 16:26 |
| xaer0 | like half the log in screen is not visable | 16:26 |
| vinnl | xaer0, is xubuntu-desktop still installed? | 16:26 |
| vinnl | Oh | 16:26 |
| xaer0 | ya you could use XDM for xubuntu | 16:26 |
| vinnl | xaer0, you mean you can only see half of it? | 16:26 |
| xaer0 | yes\ | 16:27 |
| vinnl | I've had that problem too | 16:27 |
| xaer0 | -desktop not installed | 16:27 |
| xaer0 | install that? | 16:27 |
| vinnl | Or at least, I could only see the top left corner | 16:27 |
| vinnl | xaer0, if you want Xubuntu, yes :) | 16:27 |
| xaer0 | ya top left here Vinnl too! | 16:28 |
| vinnl | xaer0, could you paste the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ? | 16:28 |
| xaer0 | ah.... after i select xubuntu-desktop it lists a bunch of files to be installed | 16:28 |
| AlexCONRAD | xaer0: that might be a good sign | 16:29 |
| vinnl | :) | 16:29 |
| vinnl | (It won't solve your problem though, I believe) | 16:29 |
| vinnl | (But it might solve others :) | 16:29 |
| xaer0 | ya fix so links/files.. like pidgin and brasero | 16:29 |
| AlexCONRAD | xaer0: that's a "minimal" setup I have: build-essential gdm xfonts-base xserver-xorg libgl1-mesa-dri xfce4-session xfwm4 xfdesktop4 xfce4-panel xfce4-terminal xfce4-mcs-plugins xfce4-mcs-plugins-extra xfce4-mcs-plugins-extra gtk2-engines-murrine tango-icon-theme ttf-dejavu-core dmz-cursor-theme xubuntu-default-settings thunar thunar-archive-plugin | 16:30 |
| xaer0 | after selecting xubuntu desktop... it will install 65 packages :( | 16:30 |
| AlexCONRAD | by making sure those are installed, you should have something acceptable | 16:30 |
| AlexCONRAD | xaer0: XFCE requires a few packages to run | 16:31 |
| vinnl | xaer0, those are the default Xubuntu packages :) | 16:31 |
| xaer0 | oh okay :-D | 16:31 |
| xaer0 | im going to pastebin something | 16:32 |
| vinnl | Yes please | 16:32 |
| xaer0 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/28046/ | 16:34 |
| xaer0 | for some reason i have to use nvidia-xconfig to get my display/resolution to work properly | 16:34 |
| xaer0 | its these damn restricted drivers | 16:35 |

| xaer0 | lets try that vinnl | 16:53 |
| xaer0 | ... oh wait a sec.. it that totally unrelated to my nv settings and xorg.config? | 16:54 |
| vinnl | xaer0, no, that application also modifies xorg.conf | 16:54 |
| vinnl | However, I used that to set my resolution, and it added a "Virtual ..." line to my xorg.conf which I could edit so gdm would use the correct resolution | 16:55 |
| xaer0 | i cant test with that | 16:55 |
| vinnl | I couldn't either, don't think that's a problem | 16:55 |
| xaer0 | so just pick the current res? | 16:55 |
| vinnl | It automatically makes a backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.1 | 16:55 |
| vinnl | xaer0, yeah | 16:55 |
| xaer0 | it restarted X | 16:55 |
| xaer0 | with the right res | 16:56 |
| vinnl | gdm too? | 16:56 |
| xaer0 | the screen when black and asked me if i wanted to keep current display | 16:56 |
| xaer0 | gdm is in my default debian startup config | 16:57 |
| xaer0 | i use $ sudo rcconf | 16:58 |
| vinnl | But is your problem solved? If not, is there a line with "Virtual" in your xorg.conf? | 16:58 |
| xaer0 | i dont see Virtual in my Xorg | 17:00 |
| xaer0 | so i just restart to whats going on? | 17:00 |
| xaer0 | or can i just crtl+alt+backspace it? | 17:00 |
| xaer0 | oh shit.. i see Virtual under section "screen" | 17:01 |
| vinnl | And does it mention the resolution you want? | 17:01 |
| xaer0 | its "Virtual 1856 1392" | 17:01 |
| vinnl | Right, if you correct that gdm should work | 17:01 |
| xaer0 | ... | 17:02 |
| vinnl | ? | 17:02 |
| xaer0 | just remove the Virtual Line? | 17:02 |
| vinnl | No, replace 1856 with 1280 and 1392 with 960 | 17:02 |
| xaer0 | that easy ? | 17:03 |
| xaer0 | LOL | 17:03 |
| vinnl | ^.^ | 17:03 |
| xaer0 | f**k balls.. is how the Angry Video Game Nerd would put it | 17:03 |
| xaer0 | LOL | 17:03 |
| xaer0 | so to test i just restart? | 17:04 |
| vinnl | First save the file :) | 17:04 |
| xaer0 | saved | 17:04 |
| vinnl | And then you can logout and log back in again | 17:04 |
| xaer0 | k brb | 17:04 |
| xaer0 | thanks. | 17:04 |
| vinnl | OK :) | 17:04 |
| vinnl | np :) | 17:04 |
| vinnl | *crosses fingers again* | 17:04 |
| vinnl | :) | 17:04 |
| AlexCONRAD | :) | 17:06 |
| vinnl | Ah well, I did the same thing and it worked for me, so... :) | 17:07 |
| vinnl | Hmm, he/she should be coming back now I think... :( | 17:09 |
| vinnl | Damn | 17:12 |
| AlexCONRAD | vinnl: maybe he's switching to fedora :) | 17:18 |
| vinnl | :( | 17:18 |
| vinnl | I feel really bad about myself now | 17:19 |
| AlexCONRAD | vinnl: naaah | 17:19 |
| AlexCONRAD | he installed/removed desktops multiple times | 17:20 |
| AlexCONRAD | he got lost | 17:20 |
| vinnl | Hmm true | 17:20 |
| AlexCONRAD | I'd backup my personnal stuff and reinstall a clean xubuntu | 17:21 |
| xaer0 | gr... | 17:27 |
| xaer0 | resolution out of range :( | 17:27 |
| AlexCONRAD | lower the res | 17:27 |
| vinnl | Ah, you're still alive, great :) | 17:28 |
| xaer0 | hade to go 1152x864 | 17:28 |
| xaer0 | but 1280x960 worked | 17:29 |
| xaer0 | before :( | 17:29 |
| vinnl | It might be that something resulting of all the desktop changes causes additional problems : | 17:30 |
| vinnl | *:( | 17:30 |
| xaer0 | under virtual settings is there away to chnage the rate? | 17:31 |
| vinnl | xaer0, I believe you could do that with displayconfig-gtk | 17:31 |
| xaer0 | grr nope | 17:32 |
| xaer0 | my refresh rates arent correct | 17:32 |
| xaer0 | 1152x864 ... my monitor makes this high pitched sound | 17:34 |
| xaer0 | 1024x768 for now :( | 17:35 |
| * vinnl is still wondering how he ever managed to live with that :P | 17:36 | |
| xaer0 | well i can deal | 17:36 |
| xaer0 | i started with 1024x768 ... that was kick ass with 3.11 and 95b | 17:37 |
| vinnl | Perhaps if you set it now with nvidia-xconfig it will restore the resolution you want without removing the solution for your gdm problem? | 17:37 |
| vinnl | ^.^ | 17:37 |
| vinnl | I used that on ME and when I just started using Xubuntu | 17:37 |
| vinnl | Heck, that was on the same computer I'm still using today :S | 17:37 |
| xaer0 | heh | 17:39 |
| xaer0 | well ya maybe some nvidia-xconfig work :-D then just add the virtual settings to it :L) | 17:39 |
| vinnl | That might help too | 17:40 |
| vinnl | Worth trying :P | 17:40 |
| xaer0 | removing all this KDE bulls**i | 17:42 |
| xaer0 | all i want is Xubuntu and OpenGEU | 17:43 |
| xaer0 | openGEU is Ubuntu using Enlightenment :L) | 17:43 |
| vinnl | xaer0, you might want to try starting from scratch | 17:43 |
| vinnl | Probably a lot cleaner :) | 17:44 |
| xaer0 | the problem is i dont | 17:44 |
| xaer0 | i have a windows xp and a opensuse 11.0 install on here | 17:44 |
| AlexCONRAD | I upgraded to 8.04.1, my ball mouse is no longer seen. | 17:47 |
| AlexCONRAD | fresh install from 8.04.1 iso (customized though) | 17:47 |
| vinnl | xaer0, can't you just overwrite Xubuntu's partitions? | 17:47 |
| xaer0 | just removing some of these programs i dont use | 17:48 |
| xaer0 | well.. i should just restart.. but that would require the moving of files from one partition to another | 17:49 |
| xaer0 | over 6GBs of Naruto Shippuden | 17:49 |
| vinnl | Ah | 17:49 |
| vinnl | Next time you install, use a separate /home partition :) | 17:49 |
| xaer0 | i like were i got Xubuntu at right now | 17:49 |
| vinnl | Ah :) | 17:50 |
| xaer0 | :( | 17:50 |
| xaer0 | ya i should just do it | 17:50 |
| vinnl | I like starting afresh because I can start discovering cool new applications again :) | 17:51 |
| xaer0 | yep here we go moving files from EXT3 to NTFS | 17:51 |
| xaer0 | i like SUSEs grub display | 17:51 |
| xaer0 | i installed WindowsXP first so Xubuntu's grub should have no problme | 17:52 |
| xaer0 | and Xubuntu should pick up SUSE fine on the install | 17:52 |
| xaer0 | nero linux sould be fun to find again LOL | 17:54 |
| vinnl | :P | 17:54 |
| xaer0 | it runs better with my DVD burner... K3B seems to overburn every DVD ive made | 17:55 |
| xaer0 | well every DVD ive tried to fill to capacity | 17:55 |
| xaer0 | 4.3 GBs | 17:55 |
| xaer0 | all i have installed now is Xubuntu and OpenGEU.. and I still havent fixed my problems. | 17:56 |
| xaer0 | ya a clean install is best | 17:56 |
| xaer0 | i really wish i hate a SATA2 drive | 17:58 |
| xaer0 | *i had.. sticking with a IDE drive | 17:58 |
| xaer0 | so what program is the best for Nvidia? Envy? | 18:00 |
| vinnl | I don't know, I've managed with just the restricted drivers manager | 18:00 |
| vinnl | I know some people do no recommend envy, but then again, a lot of people also report it to work | 18:01 |
| zoredache | !envy | 18:01 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 18:01 |
| xaer0 | envy is a front-in installer | 18:02 |
| vinnl | Ah :) | 18:02 |
| vinnl | I'm off - dinner | 18:03 |
| vinnl | Bye | 18:03 |
| xaer0 | well im off | 18:04 |
| xaer0 | time to reinstall Xubuntu and moving of files | 18:05 |
| CatfishD | hah | 18:18 |
| juantelez | hi, I have this stupid question: this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen works for Xubuntu too? | 19:22 |
| vinnl | juantelez, as far as I can see it does | 19:24 |
| juantelez | vinnl: thaks, so... the xorg.conf files and other, are all in the same location? | 19:25 |
| juantelez | *thnks | 19:25 |
| juantelez | *thanks, ha | 19:25 |
| vinnl | juantelez, yep | 19:25 |
| juantelez | thanks a lot vinnl | 19:25 |
| vinnl | np :) | 19:25 |
| juantelez | can I ask you one more things vinnl? | 19:28 |
| vinnl | Sure, ask ahead | 19:28 |
| juantelez | vinnl: do you know (or could check) if these packages: xutils libx11-dev libxext-dev x-dev build-essential xautomation xinput xserver-xorg-dev , came in the alternative installation cd of Xubuntu 8.04? | 19:30 |
| vinnl | juantelez, the alternate CD should result in the same packages as the desktop cd | 19:31 |
| vinnl | juantelez, or do you mean if they are present on the CD itself? | 19:31 |
| juantelez | vinnl: yes, I mean if they came whit the CD | 19:33 |
| vinnl | juantelez, and which architecture? | 19:34 |
| vinnl | Ah it shouldn't matter by the way | 19:34 |
| vinnl | juantelez, you can check at http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-cdimage-xubuntu/releases/8.04/release/xubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.list | 19:34 |
| juantelez | vinnl: because I need to configure a tablet in a non-online desktop | 19:34 |
| juantelez | 32 bits | 19:34 |
| juantelez | thanks a lot vinnl | 19:34 |
| vinnl | np :) | 19:34 |
| juantelez | wow, that links is really helpfull to other kind of task! | 19:36 |
| vinnl | :) | 19:36 |
| MXIIA | what is the default username and password for the LiveCD? | 20:30 |
| zoredache | I believe there is no password by default | 20:34 |
| MXIIA | and the username? | 20:36 |
| zoredache | it usually auto-logins in. But it is 'ubuntu' I beleive | 20:36 |
| MXIIA | ok i'll try that | 20:36 |
| MXIIA | not ubuntu or xubuntu | 20:37 |
| MXIIA | or admin, or demo | 20:37 |
| zoredache | are you sure you are booted to the cd? | 20:37 |
| MXIIA | yes | 20:37 |
| zoredache | how are you trying to login? | 20:37 |
| MXIIA | this is the first time I have tried Linux on that computer, and I selected the first option.. "Boot without touching harddrive" or something like that | 20:38 |
| zoredache | yes, but it should have came up to a logged in desktop. Are you at a text console or something like that? | 20:39 |
| MXIIA | I thought it would log in automatically also, I am in normal mode, it looks just like the default ubuntu scren, just blue and says xubuntu | 20:40 |
| MXIIA | so, not in text mode | 20:40 |
| vinnl | MXIIA, I've heard of that before - the username really should be "ubuntu" and the password empty. If that's not it, there's something wrong, and trying other username/password combinations is useless | 20:46 |
| vinnl | MXIIA, if you do a search on the internet I think you'll find something to help | 20:46 |
| MXIIA | well, I restarted the computer... and got a blank screen after selecting the first option :/ | 20:47 |
| MXIIA | ahh, 3rd time does the trick | 20:51 |

| vinnl | Certainly :) | 21:51 |
| vinnl | That is, if your graphics card supoprts it, of course | 21:51 |
| xaer0 | its good eye candy to show those "windows users" | 21:51 |
| vinnl | I'm quite fond of it myself too :P | 21:51 |
| xaer0 | clean install.. no problem yet | 21:51 |
| vinnl | \0/ | 21:52 |
| xaer0 | i really dont use it much myself | 21:52 |

| xaer0 | i used alt+f2 and then typed "compiz --replace" .. will it start automatically from now on? | 22:06 |
| vinnl | No | 22:07 |
| vinnl | xaer0, I wrote a guide on using Compiz on Xubuntu, you should be able to find it easily | 22:07 |
| vinnl | Wait, I'll look it up... | 22:07 |

| xaer0 | not as fast as puppy linux + compiz :-P | 22:35 |
| xaer0 | i am a fan of Puppy Linux as well.. tho not supported enof | 22:36 |
| xaer0 | beats Damn Small Linux and GoblinX into the ground with its speed | 22:36 |
| xaer0 | at least Xubuntu can handle over clocking better than Compiz+Emerald+Ubuntu Studio.. i tell ya Studio would crash because of it | 22:37 |
