Can i disable that? [00:18] check compiz channel [00:19] weird i use compiz and dont have that problem [00:19] hi, it's me again [00:19] I reinstalled xubuntu, 8.04 this time [00:19] R1cochet, really? [00:19] but I didn't manage to install grub [00:19] it failed during installation :/ I installed it through another computer but I have no idea what commands I should give it to load the kernel properly [00:20] Nikke: yea no issue at all. weird i used compiz on 8.04 and 8.10 and never that issue. [00:20] R1cochet, when i put my mouse over the panel i get full opacity [00:20] I got as far as loading the kernel properly but it panics, complaining the root= option is not good. iirc the installer said to give root=/dev/sda1 but that doesn't work >.< [00:20] but when i move the mouse away from the panel it gets a opacity [00:20] Nikke: i dunno man, check #compiz-fusion [00:21] R1cochet, okey, thanks anyway [00:23] R1cochet, i found it now [00:23] some settings [00:23] i havent seen in 8.04 [00:23] how can I restore what would initially have been the menu.lst? [00:27] R1cochet, can i remove ubuntu in xubuntu?? [00:27] i think i can but forgatt the link [00:27] !purexfce | Nikke [00:27] Nikke: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » [00:28] knome, thaanks [00:39] Xubuntu install taking a long trime [00:39] good eve,anyone have any probs lately with any new updates? [00:40] starting this morn my system has been restarting itself [00:40] NotADJ, how much RAM do you have? [00:40] 160 :P [00:40] im wondering if this is a update isue or pos my system is reading my cpu temp as high? [00:40] p42g, sounds weird. can you try to run an older kernel and see if the problems disappear? [00:40] Alternate [00:40] p42g, cpu temp or memory errors are also possible. [00:40] im not sure what updates i put in yesterday [00:41] I think it is the CD drive. [00:41] Slow [00:41] memory errors? [00:41] NotADJ, that's quite little. it might be the ram [00:41] Possibly. [00:41] p42g, yes... errors in the physical memory usually lead to random boots. [00:41] 3% now! [00:41] :D [00:41] posisibly one of my sticks is having issues? [00:41] NotADJ, good luck. running it might be a little helll [00:42] ok ill have to try and remove one at a time and see if it helps [00:42] p42g, yes, possibly. you can run a memcheck from a live cd [00:42] Maybe :D [00:42] oh ok ill try that first and see what it comes up [00:42] 4% [00:42] p42g, it might take quite long, but is worth it, imho... [00:42] thanks for ur time [00:42] np. [00:43] 4++ [00:43] 5++ [00:43] :P [00:43] ok you can stop flooding [00:43] No problem! [00:43] !flood > NotADJ [00:43] NotADJ, please see my private message [00:44] That was stupid, /me stops. [00:44] 'lo [00:44] hello. [00:44] hi knome [00:45] know of anyone thats got xmms::remote to install? [00:45] or bundle::xmms [00:45] not really. do you have problems installing? can you find it in the repos? [00:45] nope and ive googled since last night [00:46] keep getting this error (the skinny version) /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXxf86dga [00:47] I been trying to work around this problem, is there anyway to get files of 4gb on Xubuntu? [00:47] then it goes on to tell me: /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK [00:48] make is installed propperly however or i wouldnt have got this far [00:48] s1amson, are you sure it's not a problem with the perl lib? [00:49] knome, its possible but i have installed bundle::cpan [00:49] havent had any other cpan errors [00:49] kai, hmm? sure? [00:50] knome, what do I need to do? [00:50] knome, think it may be the makefile.pl thats bad? [00:50] kai, for me it works ootb [00:50] s1amson, i have no idea :) [00:50] thx anyway. [00:50] np. [00:50] kai, what fs are you using? [00:50] at least i got the same error [00:50] ext3 [00:50] google.com/linux ext3 4gb? [00:51] ive had no problems with it either [00:51] i use reiserfs though [00:51] hold on lemme check [00:51] Stuck on 6% [00:51] speaking of reiser... didnt his wife turn up dead some time ago? [00:51] its been a while since I had to do anything with it [00:52] s1amson, #xubuntu-offtopic ;) [00:52] s1amson: Why is Reiser > [00:52] sorry, it was a /. from a while back. just crossed my mind, i can google :] [00:53] NotADJ, im not sure that it is. [00:53] you guys dont read wired do you? [00:53] ive just never had a problem with file size while using it [00:54] dcolish, when ive read everything else at barnes & noble. which is a rare occasion. ours still gets 2600 [00:59] knome, when I use fdisk it just says linux [00:59] So im not 100% sure [00:59] knome: Would the install be faster if I were to connect it to a Network? [01:00] NotADJ, suppose not. [01:00] s1amson: well there was an article about reiser in wired a year ago [01:00] knome: If it is CD only, does it rely more on the CD? [01:01] dcolish, i think knome would prefer we take that to query [01:02] dcolish, s1amson: #xubuntu-offtopic is a fine place for that :) [01:02] knome, i got that covered, thx :P [01:02] hehe [01:02] it's not query ;) [01:02] what client? /query knome works just fine in xchat [01:03] or was that an invite to join another channel [01:04] s1amson, /join #xubuntu-offtopic [01:04] apparently so [01:04] knome, so you dint have this problem, this sucks. I can't d/l any blu-ray disk or anything [01:05] if 4gb limit you'd have a hard time downloading a linux dvd too. [01:05] kai, i haven't heard it would be impossible. sorry. [01:06] its odd and frustrating at the same time, what command what I use to actually see the partition type of my devices [01:06] Fdisk doesn't tell me [01:06] kai, you can always try to back up what you have (just incase) and use gparted to convert/reformat the partition [01:06] what what I reformat as then? [01:06] fdisk is a windows tool innit? [01:06] no, its a linux tool [01:06] i wouldnt expect it to tell you much [01:07] kai, 'mount' shows the fs types. [01:07] ha, good idea [01:07] fdisk was in my old school dos [01:07] yea its ext3 [01:07] just assumed it was a winders thing [01:07] So I should user resier and I woudn't have this problem [01:08] kai, i cant promise that you wont, but i dont have that issue with reiser [01:09] whats the diffrence between the 2? [01:09] im pretty sure that a buddy of mine used ext3 for his /home and hes never complained [01:09] kai, thats way above my head. i have no clue how a file system works [01:09] nor do i know anyone that does tbh [01:18] ok, it's 3:18am here, so good night everybody [01:19] night [01:23] night knome [01:39] s1amson, its cool Thanx tho === hraban is now known as b4|hraban === b4|hraban is now known as hraban === hraban is now known as b4|hraban [02:06] Hello I need some seeders for the 8.04 xubuntu torrent i386 [02:07] can anyone seed the torrent please so I can upgrade?

In xfce i always have to type pulseaudio -D for it to work. any ideas? [14:47] jxander, settings => settings manager => autostarted apps :) [15:01] hello everybody [15:02] ablomen, doesn't pulseaudio need some more sophisticated startup? :P [15:04] well... thanks ablomen :) [15:06] i had this problem before but i cant remember how to fix it [15:06] you guys helped me before [15:06] my xfce4 panel wont stay put [15:06] i have to enter xfce4-panel in terminal for it to appear [15:07] and i have to keep terminal running [15:07] can you please tell me how to get it to stay with terminal closed? [15:07] thanks very much [15:07] killerbyte: Alt-F2 [15:08] very good [15:09] jarnos, i hope that stays after next reboot [15:09] thanks though [15:11] killerbyte: You are welcome. Do you often loose xfce4-panel? Which release are you using? [15:11] intrepid [15:11] just happened once before [15:11] killerbyte: It happened to me too today as I installed Intrepid. [15:12] unlucky [15:13] killerbyte: my short report about it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/301995 [15:29] jarnos, interesting [15:29] i g2g [15:29] bye [15:37] What are the keybindings to use in xfce4-terminal to copy-paste text? [15:45] I made a package list named pl in file and then applied "cat pl | xargs sudo apt-get --assume-yes --force-yes install". [15:46] jarnos: how'd that work out for you? [15:46] Problem is that there was sun-java6-bin included in the list and the execution is paused in license screen. [15:47] Mind you, there are some gotchas there. If any of the packages in "pl" asks for anything, it gets its response from the same filedescriptor. [15:47] I hope I don't have to download the packages again since it took long time. [15:47] jarnos: You won't. That packages will still be there, if you didn't "apt-get clean". [15:49] How should I quit the paused command? [15:50] ctrl-c. [15:50] soren: Is there a better way to install packages from a list in a file so that it is more interactive? [15:50] jarnos: Yes. [15:50] while read pkg [15:50] do [15:50] echo $pkg install [15:50] done < pl | sudo dpkg --set-selections [15:50] sudo dselect install [15:52] soren: I lost cursor by ctrl-c [15:53] I'm sure you'll manage without it. [15:55] soren: No. I start a new terminal window/tab [15:55] Heh. Ok. [16:00] soren: Shame dselect is not included in default installation, if it is the way to do the job. [16:01] soren: I can't even install it. [16:01] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [16:01] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [16:02] jarnos: Your old apt-get is still running. [16:02] Kill it. [16:05] soren: I tried by gnome-system-monitor, but it seem gnome-system-monitor killed itself instead :( [16:05] I'm kind of busy right now. I'm sure someone else can explain how to kill a process. [16:06] soren: kill -9? [16:06] Don't ever kill -9 anything before you've at least tried kill -15 and kill -2 first. [16:07] soren: Thanks for the advice. [16:08] I have apt-get, dpkg, frontend, preinst, whiptail running. I guess they are all there for the original command. [16:10] I hope I don't mess up package management bad time if I kill all those. [16:14] If you don't kill -9 anything, it should all handle it somewhat gracefully. [16:16] soren: The other kills don't work for "apt-get": "bash: kill: (8035) - Operation not permitted"; I did not try to kill the other processes. [16:19] You need to "sudo kill" [16:19] apt-get runs as root. [16:19] (so does dpkg, whiptail, etc. etc., by the way) [16:21] soren: Thanks. Killing apt-get killed the others at once. [16:22] Indeed [16:24] soren: I have to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [16:25] That would be a good start. [16:25] Instead of dselect, you could also: [16:25] sudo apt-get install `cat pl` [16:28] soren: great, but does pl has to be a single row list? [16:29] No. [16:30] soren: First time I use `- character. [16:31] soren: I suppose it has different meaning thant ' or " [16:32] Yes. === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache [18:34] soren: thanks, it worked fine with the apt-get command. (I used it to "reinstall" some packages after upgrade to 8.10.) [19:37] My xorg.conf is empty after 8.10 installation. [19:37] jarnos, it's supposed to be empty :) [19:38] I need help [19:38] vinnl: So can you change "Virtual" setting elsewhere to enable extended desktop? [19:39] jarnos, extended desktop? You mean with multiple desktops? [19:39] Conmiro, with what? [19:39] ok [19:39] I am trying to set up my os as a server [19:39] Ive done it with my windows xp using xampp [19:39] but when I try to go to my IP with ummmm Xubuntu, It won't load [19:40] localhost works fine though [19:40] Conmiro, are you using XAMPP or the official Apache, PHP and MySQL packages? [19:40] i downloaded xampp [19:40] it came with all that [19:40] Im on xp os right now [19:40] I'd recommend using the official installation (which is also easy to install) [19:40] vinnl: I mean e.g. "xrandr --output VGA --above LVDS" [19:40] where is that [19:40] Also, there's a special server edition of Ubuntu [19:41] oh [19:41] I need that instead? [19:41] Well, ive tried server edition and I got installed, But when Booting, I got pae error [19:41] said my cpu does not have pae [19:41] Anyway around this? [19:41] Conmiro, if you open Synaptic Package Manager, you can select "Mark Packages by Task" in the Edit menu, from where you can select "LAMP Server" that will install all the required stuff [19:42] uhh [19:42] in xubuntu? [19:42] jarnos, sorry, doesn't mean anything to me :( [19:42] SHould I get on xubuntu? [19:42] Conmiro, yep [19:42] ok [19:42] wait ehre k? [19:42] Sure [19:42] Though, [19:45] vinnl: I mean a desktop that continues from one display to another. [19:46] vinnl: Currently the command gives (provided both outputs are on): xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1360x1360 (desired size 1280x1568) [19:46] jarnos, I'm only using one screen myself... All I know is that it's normal that xorg.conf is empty with the new version and that most stuff is supposed to be autoconfigured now [19:47] jarnos: you need to set your screen size in your xorg [19:48] dcolish: ok. [19:51] I read somewhere that "InputDevice" sections are omitted. But I had a hack there for 8.04 for keyboard: "Option "XkbOptions" "nbsp:none" # Makes all space-like normal whitespace" [19:51] How do you do it in 8.10? [19:52] jarnos: same way you'd do it in 8.04. you have screen section that you have to define the max size you want [19:53] dcolish: I mean the keyboard thing. [19:54] jarnos: you'll need to look at fdi files in the ubuntu wiki [19:55] dcolish: fdi? [19:55] just google it [20:02] Enter text here...sorry [20:02] I installed all 4 suggestions cause I didint think it was working [20:03] I didint know had to restart browser [20:03] vinnl? [20:03] Conmiro, ? [20:03] yes [20:03] Im on xubuntu now [20:03] Which 4 suggestions? [20:03] plugins [20:03] to install [20:03] had to install java [20:04] hey, anyone here using an external RAID 1 harddisk? can this raid(controller?) run ext3? [20:04] Am I the only one that sees the watermake on the chat screen????? [20:04] try looking at the screen from a angle [20:04] Conmiro, which application are you using? [20:05] firefox [20:05] For chat? [20:05] fifrefox [20:05] oh [20:05] java 6 [20:05] Java is not a chat application [20:05] idk [20:05] :( [20:05] gogloom.com irc [20:05] is that what u mean? [20:05] Probably [20:05] Then that site is to blame [20:06] how do i browse the local network in xfce? [20:06] lol [20:06] localhost [20:06] enter that in browser [20:06] if you want other people to be able to access it, stick with me and vinnl [20:06] oh [20:06] vinnl [20:06] jxander, you mean with Samba? I have no experience with that, but Google helps, or so I've heard [20:06] is there a way to get more than 2 workspaces? [20:06] yeah... samba [20:06] Now I can't even quit xubuntu: "Quitting the session requires that Xfce's session manager (xfce4-session) is running, but it was not detected. Please quit Xfce via another means." xfce4-session is running anyway.

[20:08] ok [20:08] now [20:08] for my earlier question [20:08] How I make localhost public [20:09] Conmiro: How do you shut down by System Monitor? [20:09] i opened synpaptic packagemanager [20:09] look for it and press terminate [20:09] or kill process [20:10] jarnos, System Monitor is not for shutting down [20:10] oh I think hes talking about shutting down a program [20:10] ^.^ [20:10] Thats what i though [20:10] t [20:10] vinnl [20:10] what package I install?
