[00:23] favro didn't work [00:23] I think its called gdebi [00:23] I downloaded it from www.getdeb.net [00:24] try 'sudo dpkg -P crrcsim' perhaps [00:25] <3 thank you [00:36] sould i use firestarter? im a bit lost, please help [00:38] excalibas, what are you trying to do? [00:39] cody-somerville: i have internet with my wireless connection (wlan0) i want to connect to my wired connection (eth0) at the same time. [00:40] * cody-somerville backs away [00:44] excalibas: there is a chat channel for network stuff that might be better for that question - #network [00:44] excalibas: what you are asking for is a fairly complex configuration. It is probably possible, but it is not easy. The question really isn't xubuntu specific. The networking components should be the same for almomst any debian/ubuntu based distro. You might want to look for a channel like ubuntu server [00:46] excalibas: sorry I was wrong about the channel :) [00:46] ok, thanks i though it would be a simple thing to do ill try to read some more. thanks [00:49] excalibas: the channel is #networking [00:49] ##networking [02:17] howdy [02:19] !hi [02:19] Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! [02:24] i have this problem with my hardy... installed it on a no-name laptop and x seems to go screwy... the screen is bigger than the actual display, cant scroll it.. and randonly everything goes white and i have to drag a window around like a paint brush to bring stuff back to view... [02:25] that makes no sense.. hah.. hrm.. [02:26] zenstone: sounds like you need to set up the vid card driver [02:27] how is that done ? [02:27] lspci | grep VGA in a terminal will let you know which card you have [02:28] ok.. im not on the machine sadly.. no net at home so im at a public library... [02:29] what next.. [02:30] im hoping theres a simple vesa server [02:30] hmm - the only way I know in hardy is to edit the xorg.conf file and add some resolution stuff - I'll paste a basic one you can copy [02:30] !paste [02:30] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [02:32] hrm [02:32] is there any documentation on this? list of servers to play with ? [02:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/40538/ - it'll get you started [02:34] then gksu mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf [02:34] nice.. ok, cool... [02:34] zenstone: if you new the h/ware you could google for what others use [02:35] i wish i knew the brand of the laptop.. [02:35] yeah.. [02:35] lspci and lshw will give you the details [02:35] sweet [02:35] thank you.. :) [02:36] np :) [02:36] anyluck setting up bootable thumb drives ? [02:36] pendrivelinux.com is good for that [02:37] lots of howtos [02:37] hay all, just installed and wondering I have a font that i want to use and don't know where to install it to. would be be .fonts in the home user? [02:37] yeah, im trying to follow those, but i dont have net access and i need mtools and syslinux, seems like a i need to get a lot of dependencies [02:37] !fonts [02:37] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [02:38] thanks, didn't know if it would be the same from ubuntu/kubuntu [02:39] shadowhywind: they work the same - the desktop environment and some apps are the diff [02:39] ah [02:40] also in kubuntu i used to use kedit a lot, is there a xedit? (hehe) [02:40] zenstone: using linux pretty much needs an internet connection - or get a dvd of a distro which'll come with more apps available [02:40] shadowhywind: mousepad in xubuntu [02:40] ok thanks a ton [02:41] np :0 [02:41] :) even [03:24] has anybody else has any problems getting eee pc 900's audio workiing? I changed the 'alsa-base' as it shows in every forum. Thanks. [03:27] anyone? [03:30] try in #eeepc :0 [03:30] :) [03:30] thank you :) === [zEr0-x] is now known as {zEr0-x} [04:35] hello, im a computer engineer student and Im doing a big tutorial and basic introduction to Xubuntu to the users that are more familiar with windows but are curious to try Xubuntu. This is a 35 pages final paper for my class but I would like to support Xubuntu with this documentation? [04:35] I think its a pretty good basic tutorial and information for the windows users. [04:41] oh man I thought I was a gonner for sure [04:42] peace and quiet room love it [04:43] and I am talking to myself not good [04:45] well I guess I deserved a kick in the butt out of ubuntu [04:45] the channel that is [04:45] anyone ever been banned from a channel [04:46] i have never been kicked from a channel :) [04:46] yeah looks like I'm the only loser [04:47] I was trying to be a ass but I have a short fuse and sometimes when someone says something that gets under my skin I will blow fire [04:47] not trying to be a ass [04:49] hey, it's only the internet... no need to get heat up about anything... [04:50] yeah just when people say stuff like this is the last time I tell arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr makes me tick off theres a better way to say something so I just let it out [04:51] all I wanted to know was how to search for someone that comes on ubuntu from time to time and then I get a vague answer like go to freenode channel [04:53] This person I was looking for was helping me out with linux and the last thing I need is someone to give me a answer like that because linux has been frustrating to me and the modem setup was a nightmare the first time around [04:55] but does anyone know how long it takes to get the latest version of xubuntu [05:03] PorkSod1: by latest, you mean the 8.10 alphas? or the latest stable 8.04 LTS ? [05:03] 8.04 lts [05:04] Brainteaser time how can I upgrade Ubuntu 6.06 to xubunu 8.04 lts without the torrent [05:17] is there anyway I can get a uptime monitor, I like the one in the panel, but then it doesn't fit correctly [06:05] ..hi. [06:06] * aschmidt is in need of assistance with regard to wireless networking [06:18] xXxREDxBULLxXx: I use conky for that [07:26] hey guys ive been trying to install ubuntu on a P3 866mhz/128mb, the 7.04 and 8.04 standard cds hang after after the menu, so im to a xubuntu 7.04 alternate cd now, so what should i add to the boot options other than noacpi? [07:28] toki_: I didn't need any boot options for a similar system [07:29] its a laptop, does that make a difference [07:30] well it might - noapic nolapic seems the best boot options for older lappies :) [07:31] both of those? and is that an "L" in nolapic [07:31] yes and yes [07:32] thanks :) lets see where this goes........ [07:32] it was the amount of mem you have that was the issue with the live cd imo [07:34] i agree [07:34] i thought it was worth a shot though [07:35] hehe [07:44] so i already have a dual boot between backtrack and win2k with lilo as the boot loader, what is this xubuntu installer going to do with that? im open for either adding an entry in lilo, but if xubuntu can install grub and autodetect the others, id like that. [07:45] it should find other os's ok [07:45] good [07:46] do i need to modify the mount point / mount options / bootable options for its new partition? [07:47] did you select manual or auto partitioning? [07:48] for manual you need to select the mount points [07:49] toki_: 2 linux distros can be a hassle with conflicting bootloaders [07:50] which one do you want to keep? or maybe do a cascaded boot menu? [07:50] e.g. you could install grub to your partition only not the MBR [07:54] i selected manual partitioning, i already have a 1gb swap partition (they can share it right?), and about the boot loaders, i dont care if it overwrites the old one (on mbr) if it boots to the others [07:54] if its easier to change the splash menu, ill go with grub [07:55] so what mount point do i go for, root or what? [07:55] toki_: you need to have a / mount point [07:56] sharing swap is ok [08:23] still installing...... how much hdd space does a typical installation take? [08:24] about 2G for / [08:25] sweet, it will be in the last 4G chunk of free space on this 15G drive [08:28] dang this thing is brutal on the cd drive [08:29] hehe - they do get a workout [09:09] hi, I'm trying to install the nvidia drivers from the official site (nvidia.com), but it tells me I have to exit X server before installing. How can I do that ? [09:09] I tried CTRL +ATL +F2 [09:10] but it seems that X is still running then [09:12] CTRL +ATL +F2 then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [09:31] AlexCONRAD: not supported will break your package management [09:39] hello guys [09:47] :( [10:36] favro, wols_: actually I was able to make the envy drivers work as I wanted. I'm trying to automate the installation of my setup. But envy is pretty GUI. How can I automate the install of the envy drivers with the nvidia ? [10:36] envy seems to call a subscript to install the nvidia drivers [10:37] any idea what that script is and how to run it without having the Envy GUI menu installed ? [10:42] I've never bothered with envy - sorry :) [10:42] !nvidia [10:42] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [11:19] hello [11:19] hi [11:20] i wonder if [11:20] is possible to use the drawer function of gnome [11:20] is there an alternative for xfce? [11:20] to add a drawer to the panel? [11:21] and the add programs launchers to the drawer.. cause i use to do that in gnome [11:23] bakalokaloka: if you make a launcher in the left panel it can open as many apps as you want - there will be an arrow at the side if there is more than one app to launch [11:27] thanks i will try [11:28] btw [11:28] i cant found mercury messenger [11:28] on synaptic [11:29] i wonder why [11:29] !find mercury [11:29] Found: jukebox-mercury, mercury, mercury-doc [11:29] !info mercury [11:29] mercury (source: mercury): A new logic/functional programming language.
