| luis | hi there, good night, everybody i like to ask 4 ur help pls | 06:07 |
| luis | i need to save some files to carry on with me on a usb memory stick, but my xubuntu just dont detect it, can youguys help me to fix it pls? | 06:08 |
| murlidhar | luis: can u see ur stick in the file manager? | 06:08 |
| luis | no | 06:09 |
| murlidhar | probably need to change ur fstab which i am not sure i can help u but somebody will surely help u . | 06:10 |
| luis | do i need to install something on konsole? | 06:10 |
| luis | i dont even know what a fstab is that is new for me | 06:11 |
| murlidhar | luis: probably but u need to but would be fairly easy | 06:11 |
| murlidhar | steps | 06:12 |
| luis | iam not sure i understood what you said | 06:13 |
| murlidhar | infact searching applications from ur console is easier than searching from synaptic | 06:13 |
| luis | ok | 06:13 |
| luis | so how do i look or what should i write down on my konsole? | 06:13 |
| murlidhar | open console | 06:14 |
| luis | done | 06:14 |
| murlidhar | now type usbpci | 06:14 |
| murlidhar | do u see ur stick there ? | 06:15 |
| murlidhar | Myrtti: in #ubuntu-offtopic ?? | 06:15 |
| luis | here is what it appeared: usbpci: command not found | 06:15 |
| murlidhar | oops | 06:16 |
| murlidhar | wait a sec | 06:16 |
| murlidhar | lsbusb might be the one | 06:16 |
| murlidhar | type lsbusb | 06:16 |
| murlidhar | no lsusb | 06:16 |
| luis | appeared as follow: | 06:17 |
| luis | Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 | 06:17 |
| luis | Bus 002 Device 002: ID 07b2:5100 Motorola BCS, Inc. SurfBoard SB5100 Cable Modem | 06:17 |
| luis | Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 | 06:17 |
| luis | Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 | 06:17 |
| murlidhar | what is the name of ur stick/ | 06:18 |
| luis | look i just input the stick and did that and appears the next: | 06:19 |
| luis | Bus 003 Device 011: ID 1111:e20b Pandora International Ltd. | 06:19 |
| luis | Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 | 06:19 |
| luis | Bus 002 Device 002: ID 07b2:5100 Motorola BCS, Inc. SurfBoard SB5100 Cable Modem | 06:19 |
| luis | Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 | 06:19 |
| luis | Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 | 06:19 |
| luis | so i think it might be the pandora one right? | 06:19 |
| murlidhar | yes so ur computer is recognizing the stick | 06:20 |
| luis | but when i try to save the files that i need it just dont give the option to save it on the stick | 06:20 |
| murlidhar | luis: wait a second | 06:21 |
| murlidhar | luis which file manager do u use ? | 06:26 |
| luis | that is very good question how do i find out pls i am kindda new on this | 06:26 |
| murlidha1 | luis: sorry i got disconnected | 06:32 |
| luis | look the only thing i c about that question is sometyhing that came along when i install xubuntu and is call: Thuna File Manager | 06:33 |

| adamw9678 | Hi all. What the best way to run a exe file in xubuntu? | 09:08 |
| [Miles] | hi | 09:14 |
| TheSheep | adamw9678: either using dosbox or wine, depending if it's a dos program or w indows program | 09:15 |
| adamw9678 | It's a exe file contaning windows drivers | 09:18 |
| TheSheep | windows drivers usually won't work on linux, definitely not when simply installed from and exe file | 09:19 |
| TheSheep | there are some hacks to use firmware from windows drivers for some hardware, but it's a little more comlicated | 09:20 |
| adamw9678 | if i could locate the .inf for the device - would i be able rto run it in ndiswrapper? | 09:23 |
| TheSheep | I'm not sure, I'm poor with ndiswrapper, I guess it depends on the device | 09:31 |
| olgem | I looked some, but is there a list of default applications packaged with xubuntu? Last time I tried xubuntu it was using VLC by default, which I very much enjoyed, but it seems that totem has replaced it? Its not really an big issue, I can install it myself. | 10:46 |
| TheSheep | olgem: that's impossible, xubuntu never used vlc by default, simply because vlc cannot be shipped with it | 10:47 |
| TheSheep | olgem: due to some copyright/patent silliness | 10:47 |
| olgem | Yeah, strange. I'm probably remembering incorrectly, I thought it just seperated out ffmpeg and prompted you to install the restricted-formats when you tried to play one with vlc. | 10:48 |
| olgem | That wouldn't happen, though. | 10:48 |
| TheSheep | olgem: as far as I know, only totem has this prompting currently | 10:48 |
| olgem | I see the tour shows some of the applications. | 10:48 |
| olgem | TheSheep, thanks. | 10:48 |
| olgem | I hear xubuntu runs nicely with the Asus Eee - taking up only 3G or so after install. Xubuntu seems like a good choice over installing netbook-specific spins of various distros. | 10:50 |
| TheSheep | olgem: I think that 3GB is still a lot | 10:52 |
| TheSheep | olgem: but xubuntu never really aimed to be small | 10:52 |
| olgem | TheSheep, maybe so, what does xubuntu typically take up after a fresh install? | 10:52 |
| TheSheep | olgem: I think 3GB is about right | 10:53 |
| TheSheep | olgem: but it would be possible to shave a lot of it if you prepared a distro for eee specifically | 10:53 |
| TheSheep | olgem: xubuntu is big partly because it has to work out of the box on most hardware out there | 10:55 |
| olgem | TheSheep, I suppose, what would you go about removing to save maybe a gigabyte off the default install? | 10:56 |
| TheSheep | olgem: it's not so easy, as the parts you want to remove are often included in packages you want to stay | 10:57 |
| TheSheep | olgem: if I wanted to make a lean and mean system, I would pick something that lets me customize it heavily without too much breaking | 10:58 |
| TheSheep | olgem: a different distro, obviously | 10:58 |
| olgem | I would use a debian netinstall | 10:58 |
| TheSheep | olgem: well, xubuntu basically uses debian packages, so not much gain here | 10:59 |
| TheSheep | but if you don't want to play and customize too much, xubuntu offers a nice balance of features vs. lightness | 11:00 |
| olgem | It uses the debian packaging format and system, but it doesn't use debian's repositories or anything, in fact a lot of the packages are incompatible with each other. Debian Netinstall just install a command line system, you apt-get everything else, even xorg and wm | 11:00 |
| olgem | and a wm* | 11:00 |
| TheSheep | olgem: at the beginning of every release cycle they synchronize ubuntu repos with debian | 11:00 |
| wols_ | TheSheep: only to a degree | 11:01 |
| olgem | TheSheep, I didn't know that, or maybe I did. | 11:01 |
| TheSheep | olgem: then they do their own modifications, and add ubuntu-specific packages | 11:01 |
| olgem | Don't they sync with Sid? | 11:01 |
| wols_ | and: they base it on sid | 11:01 |
| wols_ | TheSheep: the longer ubuntu exists, the more they diverge | 11:01 |
| naxxtor | hm, got a problem with the sound card on my X31, http://pastebin.com/d26945163 there's all the relevant information - it's not being picked up by asound but the modules appear to have loaded. Any ideas? | 11:02 |
| olgem | TheSheep, you're right though. xubuntu is just fine and will fit in the pc I want to get. | 11:02 |
| olgem | naxxtor, they have a dedicated channel for #alsa | 11:03 |
| olgem | Probably a better bet to ask there | 11:03 |
| naxxtor | hmm, i suppose so | 11:03 |
| naxxtor | seems like it migt be an ubuntu related problem, since i've seen sound work just fine on debian with similar configuration | 11:04 |
| olgem | Have you seen others running ubuntu and the same machine with this problem? | 11:05 |
| olgem | "To install Xubuntu, you need 1.5 GB of free space on your hard disk." | 11:07 |
| olgem | Hmmm, I guess I'll just have to see. Some report 3GB, this says 1.5. | 11:07 |
| TheSheep | naxxtor: forums and bugtracker might contain some solutions | 11:08 |
| TheSheep | naxxtor: just search for your card chipset there | 11:08 |
| ablomen | olgem, my xubuntu install uses just 3 gb, and thats with a lot of extra stuff installed, so yeah it should be a lot less for a fresh install | 11:09 |
| olgem | ablomen, thanks for the info. | 11:10 |
| naxxtor | TheSheep: i'm searching away but finding very little of use :( | 11:10 |
| TheSheep | naxxtor: you can try posting a question or bug report too, if there is nothing similar already | 11:11 |
| naxxtor | there are similar things on the forums but with wrong solutions | 11:15 |
| naxxtor | e.g. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=249627 | 11:16 |
| naxxtor | how could something be blocking the sound card if it's not been detected? | 11:16 |
| TheSheep | naxxtor: checked your dmesg? | 11:17 |
| TheSheep | naxxtor: maybe some module fails to load? | 11:17 |
| naxxtor | yep, checked dmesg | 11:17 |
| TheSheep | naxxtor: do you know which module should be used for that sound card? you could try loading it manually with modprobe | 11:18 |
| naxxtor | it should be snd_intel8x0 | 11:18 |
| naxxtor | which *appears* to be loaded | 11:18 |
| naxxtor | snd_intel8x0 35376 1 | 11:19 |
| TheSheep | naxxtor: try unloading it and loading again maybe | 11:19 |
| TheSheep | unload with rmmod | 11:19 |
| naxxtor | i can't, it's in use | 11:19 |
| TheSheep | so the sound card is not detected, but it's in use? %) | 11:20 |
| naxxtor | apparently! | 11:20 |
| naxxtor | i'll try forcing it | 11:20 |
| naxxtor | gaaah | 11:21 |
| naxxtor | ERROR: Removing 'snd_intel8x0': Device or resource busy | 11:21 |
| TheSheep | you could also try asking on #ubuntu, this part is common | 11:22 |
| naxxtor | i did, but i got no response | 11:23 |
| naxxtor | oh, look, here's the exact same problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=865060 | 11:29 |
| naxxtor | but i'm not swapping distros like a kid with ADD | 11:29 |
| TheSheep | naxxtor: it's a thinkpad? you might want to also check the thinkwiki then | 11:36 |
| naxxtor | TheSheep: yeah, it is a thinkpad, and i have checked the thinkwiki | 11:39 |
| naxxtor | and it doens't seem to have anything useful | 11:39 |
| TheSheep | naxxtor: then I'm out of advices | 11:40 |
| naxxtor | i'm stracing modprobe and trying to work out why it's hanging >_< | 11:41 |
| adamw9678 | Hello all | 12:03 |
| adamw9678 | I am trying to make a persistent USB version of xubuntu using my xubuntu laptop but when I come to mount I type mount -o loop -tiso9660 xubuntu*.iso /cdrom but I have no cdrom drive and I get a error message saying cdrom does not exist. Is there somthing I can type in insted of cdrom? | 12:07 |
| vinnl | adamw9678, you can use another directory you created | 12:07 |
| vinnl | But it needs to exist | 12:07 |
| vinnl | I'd use something like /tmp/iso | 12:08 |
| adamw9678 | OK, using the terminal how would I create a directory that I can use? | 12:08 |
| vinnl | mkdir /tmp/iso | 12:08 |
| adamw9678 | Thanks | 12:09 |
| vinnl | np :) | 12:09 |
| DavidTangye | Hi all. Has anyone tried to install Xubuntu without a CD, using the netboot stuff, similar to how Ubuntu can be done? | 12:44 |
| DavidTangye | .. or does anyone know if it CAN be done. I cannot find any netboot.tar.gz for Xubuntu... so far. | 12:45 |
| naxxtor | yes | 12:46 |
| naxxtor | i did it last night :) | 12:46 |
| vinnl | DavidTangye, I believe it *can* be done but I haven't tried it | 12:46 |
| vinnl | Ah :) | 12:46 |
| naxxtor | you need the alternate ISO | 12:47 |
| naxxtor | it's in /install/netboot | 12:47 |
| DavidTangye | Oh... I have the alt iso... brb. | 12:47 |
| naxxtor | (you should find pxelinux.0 and pxelinux.cfg in there, just copy both of them to your tftp directory) | 12:47 |
| TheSheep | DavidTangye: you just install a minimal ubuntu and then install xubuntu-desktop on it | 12:47 |
| DavidTangye | TheSheep: Yes. I have done it that way too before. | 12:49 |
| naxxtor | xubuntu is really no different to ubuntu except it has xubuntu-desktop package intead of ubuntu-desktop :p | 12:49 |
| DavidTangye | TheSheep: ... this time I want to install Xubuntu distro. There might be a slight difference at later distro upgrade times. | 12:50 |
| DavidTangye | It should be, but I am not entirely sure that is true. | 12:50 |
| naxxtor | i believe that the netboot images are identical, except the installer has the option to install xubuntu-desktop when you select your packages | 12:50 |
| DavidTangye | OK, I am about to find out. Thanks a lot for the help. | 12:51 |
| naxxtor | i can tar up the netboot image i used last night if you like, but it's on the ISO :) | 12:51 |
| DavidTangye | yes it shave it thanks. i just didn't see it :-) | 12:51 |
| DavidTangye | .. I have it | 12:52 |
| naxxtor | wow, i was useful :p | 12:53 |
| vinnl | ^.^ | 12:53 |
| DavidTangye | Hi again. Xubuntu installation is running smoothly from a netboot setup. No CDs burnt here :-). | 13:27 |
| vinnl | DavidTangye, yay! :) | 13:29 |
| naxxtor | awesome :) | 13:31 |
| naxxtor | the only problem i had with netboot was that things were taking an age to download - and i put that down to the evil ISP i'm using currently | 13:31 |
| DavidTangye | naxxtor: At least once the iso is down, you can reuse it during each netbooted install. | 13:45 |
| DavidTangye | Install failed: old PC, kernel package install failed. Back to Plan A: install std ubuntu without a desktop, then add Xubuntu desktop package, like I did 6 months ago. | 13:47 |
| DavidTangye | .. Oh well, it was worth a try. | 13:48 |

| RandyboY | Is aMSN supposed to be with no sound? Installed aMSN cause i liked the design. But it seems to be without any sound... No other programs is without sound. So i guess my soundcard/setting is working | 17:56 |
| vinnl | RandyboY, it's been a while since I used that (it's ugly, I like emesene better), but I believe it is | 17:58 |
| vinnl | Though then again, it might not be, you might try setting a sound system in the preferences | 17:58 |
| RandyboY | vinnl, but i havent touched any settings to mute the program.. Ive tried to set it to _make_ sounds on different happenings | 18:00 |
| vinnl | RandyboY, it might be some PulseAudio stuff or something, but I'm really not at home in sound settings | 18:00 |
| vinnl | I'd say: play around with the settings and see if it starts working ;-) | 18:00 |
| RandyboY | vinnl, ive done that, and me asking here is last try :-) Ive installed emesene now, and logged in, but my contacts isnt transfered? | 18:02 |
| vinnl | Hmm, that's odd | 18:02 |
| RandyboY | mh, yeah.. Rahter annoying actually :) But i agree, liked the design on that one too... (I'm a converted windows-user and it looks alot like MSN ;-)) | 18:04 |
| vinnl | It does :) | 18:05 |
| vinnl | In fact, the developers of emesene are going to work together with the aMSN developers and create aMSN2 :) | 18:05 |

| ihab | I know I can install kde using apt-get but I actually have a kubuntu CD can I use it to install kde | 22:49 |
| totalwormage | what? | 22:50 |
| totalwormage | you have a running ubuntu install on which you want kde? | 22:50 |
| totalwormage | or do you want a fresh ubuntu + kde install? | 22:51 |
| ihab | I have xubuntu 8.04 and I want to install kde | 22:51 |
| totalwormage | you can just install kde alongside xfce | 22:52 |
| ihab | I know | 22:52 |
| totalwormage | then what is the question :P | 22:52 |
| ihab | i want to install it from kubuntu cd is this possible ?? | 22:52 |
| totalwormage | kubuntu comes standard with kde (hence the k ...) | 22:53 |
| totalwormage | you mean you don't have an internetconnection or something? | 22:53 |
| ihab | I have internet connection | 22:54 |
| ihab | but I want to install the kde from CD is it possible | 22:54 |
| totalwormage | yes | 22:54 |
| ihab | how ? | 22:55 |
| totalwormage | you can add the cd as a repository | 22:55 |
| totalwormage | but i guess you'll have to temporarily block out the online repo's before apt'll use the cd | 22:56 |
| ihab | and from synaptic package manager search for kubuntu-desktop ... is this the solution | 22:56 |
| ihab | ok | 22:56 |
| totalwormage | yes | 22:56 |
| ihab | Thanks a lot | 22:56 |
| ihab | :) | 22:57 |
| totalwormage | but i don't understand why you want this :P | 22:57 |
