[01:11] <Quenyar> Hello
[01:19] <Quenyar> I have just installed xubuntu on a different computer (than this one) and now I cannot get it to connect to my DSL router (DHCP)
[01:19] <Quenyar> Can anyone help me?
[01:20] <pv2b_> Quenyar: that might be ISP related
[01:20] <pv2b_> some ISP:s will only let you use a few IP addresses at a time
[01:20] <pv2b_> do you know if your DSL router hands out external IP:s or internal IP:s that are NAT:ed?
[01:21] <Quenyar> Well, I had an older Ubuntu install on the same box earlier today and that worked fine.
[01:22] <Quenyar> DSL router is plugged into a switch into which both computers are plugged. I even plugged just the two computers together with a static IP and the xubuntu computer could not find anything, but it will ping itself
[01:23] <Quenyar> The DSL router connects to a Linux box at the telco and it has a DHCP server to which it connects and gets handed an IP address
[01:25] <Quenyar> I brought both xubuntu and ubuntu CDs - this was my first try with xubuntu - it's an older box with crappy hardware an very little RAM
[01:26] <Quenyar> Also, I have troubles when I scroll in a window - say a browser - it paints it all over the place and doesn't behave - kinds cool in an artsy kind of way, but not very useful if you want to read stuff
[01:28] <Quenyar> When I am on this computer, connected to the hub, I currently have the ethernet device eth1 set to static IP 192.168.10.55 - I can't ping it from here.  How do I make the eth0 (wireless I don't have) go away?
[01:29] <Quenyar> They're interal IPs  for example this computer is 192.168.10.1.47
[01:40] <Quenyar> I have just installed xubuntu over an older ubuntu - when I did this I can't connect to anything.  I have tried to configure it both static and DHCP, nothing works
[01:40] <Quenyar> HELP
[01:45] <wols_> Quenyar: what network chip
[01:46] <Quenyar> I have no idea, but it is the same network card that worked fine for an older ubuntu (5.10 I think)
[01:49] <wols_> lspci -nn
[01:49] <wols_> pastebin the result
[01:50] <Quenyar> not on that computer now and my wife has decided to try installing ubuntu again and see if it is at all improved... I can try that when she's done and transfer the results
[01:52] <wols_> you can run lspci -nn on ubuntu too
[02:22] <Quenyar> bash Ispci command not found
[02:23] <Quenyar> do I need ot be sudo to run the command?
[02:24] <Quenyar> OK - got it

[03:33] <Quenyar> HELP I am having display problems. This http://goomba.com/www2/hwm/Screenshot.png is what happens when I scroll down a screen (this was the Ubuntu welcome screen in Firefox). HELP
[03:35] <Quenyar> This makes the computer practically unusable. You can't look at any Web page that exceeds the dimensions of your screen resolution.  HELP
[03:43] <alexbh> hello...
[03:43] <alexbh> Does anybody know how xubuntu works on a 32 MB RAM PC?
[03:50] <Quenyar> Video Display problems with 8.04 LTS on antideluvian x86 box with Matrox video card. When I scroll in the browser window, this happens: http://goomba.com/www2/hwm/Screenshot.png - this was the Ubuntu welcome screen. I have tried several different resolutions and other video settings, but it just doesn't paint the screen properly. HELP
[04:19] <jvin242> Quenyar:  I've got to sign off, but try this out for display problems... alt-ctl-backspace (reboots X display, dumps back to login screen), alt-F1 (or alt-ctl-F1; goes to text screen use alt-F7 to get back to gui), or edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (google for what needs to be there or change), or in terminal "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and follow the default prompts. best to make a backup copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  Good luck!

[16:00] <alexbh_> Hi. Has anybody installed xubuntu in a 32 MB RAM PC?
[16:02] <TheSheep> alexbh_: yes, takes half an hour to boot
[16:02] <TheSheep> alexbh_: and 20 minutes to start any app
[16:03] <alexbh_> ohh jesus... i heard that if you kill some virtual consoles at startup it works... is it true?
[16:05] <TheSheep> alexbh_: of course not, virtual consloes ttake bytes of memory
[16:05] <TheSheep> alexbh_: not megabytes
[16:06] <alexbh_> ok... just to clarify.... virtual consoles are TTY1,2,3...etc...am I right?
[16:07] <TheSheep> alexbh_: you could probably get down somewhat by using lower resolution and color depth, disabling almost all services from startup, etc.
[16:07] <TheSheep> alexbh_: also disabling things like keyring, network manager applet, minimizing the number of panel plugins, no background, etc.
[16:08] <TheSheep> alexbh_: but there are distributions better prepared to this kind of situation
[16:08] <TheSheep> alexbh_: try DSL for example, or aybe Puppy
[16:08] <TheSheep> aybe
[16:08] <TheSheep> maybe
[16:09] <alexbh_> good...thanks
[16:09] <TheSheep> or try to get more ram
[16:33] <SanskritFritz> hi, I have an Iomega 500G USB haddisk, i wont mount in xubuntu feisty, but my pendrive does, pls help
[16:50] <alexbh_> TheSheep: I was thinking..what if I make a 1GB swap?
[16:50] <TheSheep> alexbh_: of course you will need swap, but swapping is slow
[16:51] <alexbh_> welll about rAM.. .it is SIMM... i cant get it.... they dont sell it anymore
[16:51] <alexbh_> tooo old
[16:53] <TheSheep> I'm sure you can get it from some other old computer
[17:20] <Bosambo> Hay all. Quick question, is it possible to remove Gnome completely whilst leaving XFCE intact? I just installed xubuntu-desktop after using Gnome on this PC. After loggin in I still have all the Gnome stuff running by default, like compiz, AWN, Screenlets...etc. Running system monitor I have a whole mess of Gnome apps running. Any clues or am I looking at a clean install?
[18:16] <atha> hello, will gkismet run in xubuntu?

[18:57] <Devlon> Any support for the errno 5 error on install of xubuntu?
[18:59] <wols> checked if the burn of the install cd was OK?
[19:00] <Devlon> yes

[19:00] <Devlon> Seems to be a bug, or so the forums makes it look like it is anyways
[19:17] <atha> hi, i cant correct my time settings... i go to the menu select correct time zome and correct time press sychronize but nothing happens..
[19:18] <TheSheep> atha: 'synchronize' is for getting type from a network time server
[19:26] <atha> but theres no other "Button to press"...
[19:49] <atha> cmon.. anyone knows how to set time date in xubuntu?
[19:50] <wols> man date
[19:50] <atha> ?
[19:50] <wols> that's one way. you could also use ntpdate or conky
[19:50] <wols> to set the BIOS clock you'd use hwclock
[19:50] <atha> im using virtualization of xubuntu in vista
[19:51] <wols> and that has any bearing on how to set the time why?
[19:51] <atha> dont think bios option would work .. how do i try the other options ntpdate not working also..
[19:51] <atha> speaking on the bios clock...
[19:51] <wols> !doesn't work
[19:52] <atha> ok..
[19:53] <atha> ntpdate keeps my time exactly as i was so it is not working...
[19:53] <wols> how do you call ntpdate?
[19:53] <atha> sudo...
[19:53] <wols> full commandline
[19:54] <atha> one second
[19:55] <atha> sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org
[20:08] <atha> wols...
[20:21] <atha> phww anyone knows how to set the time ?plz
[20:25] <ote1> command: date
[20:26] <atha> ok the date time on the system is correct but on the top left of the screen is not...
