ValroqueGreetings, I installed Xubuntu recently using the wubi installer, and instead of booting to desktop, it goes to GRUB. If I try to boot, it says kernet not loaded. I've used ubuntu before - Do you have to manually load stuff such as kernel before booting xubuntu? Thought it was automatic.10:12
deakilloplaces applet10:12
deakillois there any way to doit10:12

JinKazamahi all11:41
Rakeerhello11:41
Myrttibach: sudo lshw?11:42
JinKazamaI have installed Transmission ver.1.06 . I want to upgrade it to latest version but I don't know how.11:43
JinKazamaI need some help please :)11:45
Myrttihm, why do you want to install the latest Transmission?11:46
bachMyrtti, will try cheers11:47
bachis there a shortcut key for konsole11:47
bach?11:47
JinKazamaI thing its bether. isn't it ?11:47
CarouselbeastHello there, I need help installing xubuntu.11:49
MyrttiJinKazama: I don't know, it might be, but usually, you shouldn't update just "because it might be better"11:50
MyrttiCarouselbeast: do you want someone to hold your hand, or do you have specific problems?11:50
CarouselbeastI have a CD with xubuntu 8.04, and I have successfully installed it on systems in the past. However, now I am trying to install it on a system (1700 mHz P4, 640 mb RAM), and it gets stuck after the loading screen. I get the menu where I get to choose "Live CD" "Install Xubuntu" "Check CD" and so on. I choose "Install Xubuntu", and it starts to load. However, after it finishes loading, nothing more happens.11:52
Myrttiwhich graphics card does that computer have?11:54
CarouselbeastATI Radeon 9600 I think11:54
CarouselbeastIt's not my computer, I'm doing it for a friend11:55
JinKazamaI want to see If the new version have this option : if there a torrent with many files , I want to choose just few of them. in my version its not posible to do this before to start downloading.11:57
CarouselbeastI should mention, that computer had an installation of WinXP, but one day it just wouldn't boot up, not even in failsafe mode, it would finish the XP loading screen, but then reboot. After a couple of tries, it would get stuck on the motherboard screen. I suspect that the XP installation is totally lost. From what I have been told, it seems like the harddrive or possibly the PSU isn't working as it should.11:57
CarouselbeastSo I'm trying to install Xubuntu now.11:58
CarouselbeastThe system has also been upgraded with extra RAM, should I strip down the system to the bare minimums and try ?12:03

Mr_Fixitit's mornin here... but ppl sleep weird hours lol20:12
vinnlxD20:12
vinnlMr_Fixit, you mean packages.ubuntu.com?20:12
vinnl(Because that works for me)20:12
Mr_Fixiti keep starting to download at about 400kbps then it slows to a crawl and then stops within seconds..20:12
vinnlMr_Fixit, is that in Synaptic or from that website?20:13
Mr_Fixitis that the site?20:13
vinnlMr_Fixit, what do you mean by "the site"?20:13
Mr_Fixiti dunno.. the default xubuntu 6.04 package manager20:13

vinnl6.06 you mean, I guess20:14
Mr_Fixitlol yea maybe lol..20:14
Mr_Fixityea 6.0620:14
vinnlMr_Fixit, what you could do is download the package from packages.ubuntu.com until the server for your country is back up, or you could choose another server20:14
Mr_Fixitchoose another server ok... that's in the file menu?20:15
vinnlI'm looking it up :)20:15
vinnlMr_Fixit, check Applications->System->Software Sources20:15
vinnlMr_Fixit, there's an entry labeled "Download from:"20:15
vinnlIf you select "Other" you can "Select Best Server"20:16
Mr_Fixitin software properties??20:16
vinnlMr_Fixit, where's that?20:17
Mr_Fixitthe same place that the software sources should be20:17
Mr_Fixitbut the sources isn't in there20:17
vinnlMr_Fixit, ah, might be because you're using 6.06, I wouldn't know by heart how it's called20:18
vinnlMr_Fixit, are you in Synaptic right now?20:18
Mr_Fixityea20:18
Mr_Fixiti'm on 2 different boxes btw20:18

Mr_Fixitwhere i can choose sites of either binary or source?20:20

Mr_Fixithmm.. i dunno if my laptop kb is set up right cuz it won't let me screenshot..20:24

vinnlIn File->Acquire->Screenshot20:26
Mr_Fixitahh ok i'll go check then..20:26
Mr_Fixitok20:26

vinnlI'm afraid you'd have to edit each binary channel separately20:35
Mr_Fixitso go into each and select a server?20:35
vinnlI think you'd actually have to manually change the URL20:35
vinnl(Xubuntu's made progress since then :))20:35

vinnl!sound20:42
ubottuIf you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP320:42
Mr_Fixitwhere's the volume control lmao20:43

TibbelitHi again21:14
Tibbelitcan I acess bios through xububto?21:14
Mr_Fixitya might have to do it on boot up..21:14
TibbelitCause in the startup I can't because xubuntu boots to fast21:14
Mr_Fixiti'm not totally sure but most os' ya do21:15
Tibbelitnever had this problem before21:15
Mr_Fixithaha an os boots too fast lol21:15
Tibbelitgonna explain:P21:15
Tibbelitw821:15
Mr_Fixitusually that's not a problem lol... try using a bootable disc?21:15
pleia2Tibbelit: if you're not sure what key to press to enter the bios on bootup try a few - common one are f2, f10, f12, del21:15
pleia2your machine will alawys take the same amount of time to start up before loading an OS21:16
pleia2have to hit it *right* when the machine comes up though, before the bootloader comes up (whether it's a linux or a windwos bootloader)21:16
TibbelitI want to boot from cd/ get into bios... I press F12 (Select boot device, strange you access bios here too)... Ok I get to the menu... BUT before I have a chance to chose what option I want, linux starts to boot:S21:16
TibbelitYes, bbootable CD21:17
TibbelitI'm sure wich key to press21:17
pleia2linux boots while you are configuring your bios?21:17
Tibbelitno21:17
Mr_Fixityea that's weird lol21:17
Mr_Fixitwhile he tries to get into it..21:18
TibbelitWhen I press D (to get to bios) linux has allready started to boot, so I can't access:(21:18
Tibbelitreally strange21:18
Tibbelitnever had this problem before:P21:18
pleia2hit the key sooner, as soon as the manufacturer screen comes up on your monitor21:18
Mr_Fixiteven b4 the monitor reacts to the boot... should work..21:19
Tibbelitok, have tested it, but it won't hurt to try again21:19
Tibbelitwon't work21:20
pleia2are you sure f12 is the right key?21:21

Tibbelitit says it on the screen21:22
pleia2did you do any updates/flashing of your bios or anything lately?21:22
Tibbelitno21:22
TibbelitThe only thing I did, before installing xubunto was to set the screen to "streech" while startup:P21:23
Tibbelitso no important change at all21:23
pleia2to what?21:23
Tibbelit"full screen" instead of "smal"21:24
