[00:38] sup ppl [01:11] Hello [01:19] 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] Can anyone help me? [01:20] Quenyar: that might be ISP related [01:20] some ISP:s will only let you use a few IP addresses at a time [01:20] do you know if your DSL router hands out external IP:s or internal IP:s that are NAT:ed? [01:21] Well, I had an older Ubuntu install on the same box earlier today and that worked fine. [01:22] 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] 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] 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] 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] 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] They're interal IPs for example this computer is 192.168.10.1.47 [01:40] 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] HELP [01:45] Quenyar: what network chip [01:46] I have no idea, but it is the same network card that worked fine for an older ubuntu (5.10 I think) [01:49] lspci -nn [01:49] pastebin the result [01:50] 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] you can run lspci -nn on ubuntu too [02:22] bash Ispci command not found [02:23] do I need ot be sudo to run the command? [02:24] OK - got it [02:26] 00:09.0 Ethernet Controller [o200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd RTL-8139/813 [02:27] 9C/8139C+ [10EC:8139] (REV 10) [02:27] And another one [02:29] 00:0c.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: National Semiconductor Corporation DP83815 (MacPhyter) Ethernet Controller [100b:0020] [03:33] 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] 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] hello... [03:43] Does anybody know how xubuntu works on a 32 MB RAM PC? [03:50] 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] 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! [06:39] hey all can anyone help me with mythbuntu? [06:45] hey everyone [06:45] I installed eeeXubuntu on my eeepc today [06:45] its 7.10 [06:46] when I try and run thunar from xterm is says error while loading shared libs [06:46] libgli [06:46] same for firefox [06:47] any ideas how to fix this? [06:48] I really need my laptop tomorrow === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [16:00] Hi. Has anybody installed xubuntu in a 32 MB RAM PC? [16:02] alexbh_: yes, takes half an hour to boot [16:02] alexbh_: and 20 minutes to start any app [16:03] ohh jesus... i heard that if you kill some virtual consoles at startup it works... is it true? [16:05] alexbh_: of course not, virtual consloes ttake bytes of memory [16:05] alexbh_: not megabytes [16:06] ok... just to clarify.... virtual consoles are TTY1,2,3...etc...am I right? [16:07] alexbh_: you could probably get down somewhat by using lower resolution and color depth, disabling almost all services from startup, etc. [16:07] alexbh_: also disabling things like keyring, network manager applet, minimizing the number of panel plugins, no background, etc. [16:08] alexbh_: but there are distributions better prepared to this kind of situation [16:08] alexbh_: try DSL for example, or aybe Puppy [16:08] aybe [16:08] maybe [16:09] good...thanks [16:09] or try to get more ram [16:33] hi, I have an Iomega 500G USB haddisk, i wont mount in xubuntu feisty, but my pendrive does, pls help [16:50] TheSheep: I was thinking..what if I make a 1GB swap? [16:50] alexbh_: of course you will need swap, but swapping is slow [16:51] welll about rAM.. .it is SIMM... i cant get it.... they dont sell it anymore [16:51] tooo old [16:53] I'm sure you can get it from some other old computer [17:20] 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] hello, will gkismet run in xubuntu? [18:56] hello [18:57] Any support for the errno 5 error on install of xubuntu? [18:59] checked if the burn of the install cd was OK? [19:00] yes [19:00] Said it was fine [19:00] Seems to be a bug, or so the forums makes it look like it is anyways [19:17] 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] atha: 'synchronize' is for getting type from a network time server [19:26] but theres no other "Button to press"... [19:49] cmon.. anyone knows how to set time date in xubuntu? [19:50] man date [19:50] ? [19:50] that's one way. you could also use ntpdate or conky [19:50] to set the BIOS clock you'd use hwclock [19:50] im using virtualization of xubuntu in vista [19:51] and that has any bearing on how to set the time why? [19:51] dont think bios option would work .. how do i try the other options ntpdate not working also.. [19:51] speaking on the bios clock... [19:51] !doesn't work [19:51] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [19:52] ok.. [19:53] ntpdate keeps my time exactly as i was so it is not working... [19:53] how do you call ntpdate? [19:53] sudo...
