| Oloryn | Is there anything tricky about cross-grading a Ubuntu 8.10 machine to Xubuntu 8.10? Does it require more than 'apt-get install xubuntu-desktop'? What's the best way to get rid of Ubuntu-specific packages afterwards? | 05:18 |
| Odd-rationale | !purexfce | Oloryn | 05:19 |
| ubottu | Oloryn: 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 » | 05:19 |

| Oloryn | I've got an old Armada 7800 laptop whose CD-ROM drive doesn't like the CD-Rs my other systems create. Simplest thing to do seems to be to install an Ubuntu ShipIt CD, and then crossgrade to Xubuntu | 05:22 |
| Odd-rationale | Oloryn: well, did you try verifying the iso? | 05:23 |
| Oloryn | yes, burned 3 different ones. I've seen this before on this laptop. It's just the CD-ROM drive itself I think. | 05:26 |
| Oloryn | But 8.10 finally deals sanely with the display on it (7.04 and 7.10 didn't) | 05:28 |

| steph33560 | How setup firefox to not use opendns ? | 10:39 |
| steph33560 | keyword.url in about:config seems ok, boolean switch to true but typing someting in address bar still goes to opendns :( | 10:39 |
| ooglebutte | edit/pref will have some options | 10:39 |
| steph33560 | ooglebutte, did not find things in edit/prefs .... | 10:42 |
| ooglebutte | edit/pref/general/connection settings was what I was thinking of... | 10:43 |
| ooglebutte | steph33560: ^ | 10:43 |
| steph33560 | ooglebutte, yep seen, gonna check this | 10:44 |
| steph33560 | ooglebutte, can't find this o_O | 10:47 |
| ooglebutte | steph33560: errr I'm still using ff2... | 10:49 |
| steph33560 | ooglebutte, what is for you the number of the top item you click on (1 to 7) | 10:49 |

| R1cochet | i wanted to try out xmms 2 but when reading the package info in synaptic i dont see one that is gui, only command based but ive seen tons of skins for it | 10:55 |
| ooglebutte | !xmms2 | 10:56 |
| ubottu | xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. | 10:56 |
| ooglebutte | I use mpg123 here | 10:57 |

| ooglebutte | isn't beep something the recommended replacement for xmms? | 10:57 |
| R1cochet | i dont know i just wanted a nice player other than audacious | 10:58 |
| ooglebutte | amorok gets plenty of recommendations - might be heavy on the dependencies tho | 11:00 |

| crazygir | hiya! when trying to boot the 8.10 livecd, I'm getting these squashfs errors: [222.638986] BUffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block ####### as well as sb_dread failed, unable to read fragment cache, this all just keeps coming. the first number in the brackets increments too. | 13:15 |
| crazygir | has anyone else run into this? | 13:15 |
| crazygir | I've tested two separate computers, two separate burned cds, and two separate iso downloads | 13:15 |
| * crazygir crosses fingers | 13:16 | |
| ldp | crazygir: It basically means the livecd won't work | 13:18 |
| ldp | Because it has detected bad sectors on your CD drive | 13:18 |
| ldp | I have never been able to counter this issue, myself | 13:18 |
| ldp | My alternative is to install it from the alternat install cd | 13:19 |
| crazygir | this is the main iso off the official download page | 13:19 |
| ldp | crazygir: Yes, I know | 13:19 |
| crazygir | I've tried an older cdrw and a brand new, not-scratched, blank cdr | 13:19 |
| crazygir | ldp: so what is the suggested course-of-action? | 13:20 |
| crazygir | :P | 13:20 |
| ldp | crazygir: Get the alternate install CD :D | 13:20 |
| crazygir | is this common? | 13:20 |
| crazygir | is the problem in creating the livecd? or in burning? or in media? | 13:20 |
| ldp | It's usually the iso | 13:21 |
| ldp | Maybe downloading it again off a different location may help (via torrent, perhaps?) | 13:21 |
| vidd | crazygir, how old is the system trying to run the cd? | 13:23 |
| vidd | and does it even get to the point of the menu? | 13:23 |
| crazygir | vidd: I've used two systems, an older p4 laptop and a newer amd64 desktop | 13:23 |
| crazygir | vidd: and yes, I get through to the menu | 13:24 |
| crazygir | if I select either test or install, I run into the errors | 13:24 |
| vidd | crazygir, the amd64 will not load the i386 image..... | 13:24 |
| crazygir | what? | 13:24 |
| crazygir | why? that's insane | 13:25 |
| vidd | why is that insane? | 13:25 |
| crazygir | because the amd64 processes 32bit code fine | 13:25 |
| vidd | why would you expect a amd64 arch to be able to run an image configured for the i386 architecture? | 13:25 |
| gabkdlly | I have also encountered such IO errors | 13:26 |
| crazygir | are we really talking about the same thing? | 13:26 |
| crazygir | vidd: are you saying that an i386 livecd will not run on an amd64 based system? | 13:26 |
| crazygir | gabkdlly: that's lame | 13:27 |
| crazygir | :P | 13:27 |
| vidd | crazygir, let me adjust my statement to *MAY* | 13:27 |
| crazygir | what? | 13:27 |
| crazygir | have you used *any* other os? | 13:27 |
| * vidd has no amd64 processor to test on because of such incompatabilities.... | 13:27 | |
| crazygir | 32bit code runs *fine* on an amd64 based system | 13:27 |
| crazygir | vidd: where are you getting this information? | 13:28 |
| vidd | from the numerous reports of i386-based apps (such as java and flash) not working properly | 13:28 |
| vidd | now i MAY be mistaken...there may have been adjustments made to accomodate these incompatabilities | 13:29 |
| crazygir | vidd: that's trying to get *those* 32bit binaries (because we don't have the code to compile) to run on an amd64 based *OS* | 13:29 |
| crazygir | now *stop* confusing people with things you don't fully understand | 13:29 |
| crazygir | :P | 13:29 |
| crazygir | vidd: the *system* is different from the *OS* | 13:30 |
| vidd | have you TRIED the amd64 bit image? | 13:30 |
| crazygir | no, I have no need to | 13:30 |
| vidd | if your going to attempt to run it on amd64 hardware, you might want to consider it | 13:31 |
| crazygir | vidd: you are horrendously misinformed here, unless xubuntu is incapable of something *every* other os is | 13:31 |
| crazygir | vidd: please STOP giving out bad information | 13:31 |
| crazygir | you are worse than a windows user | 13:31 |
| crazygir | if you don't know, that's ok | 13:31 |
| vidd | then tell me....why does PPC not load the i386 image? | 13:31 |
| vidd | or SPARC? | 13:32 |
| crazygir | because a powerpc chip *cannot* execute i386 code | 13:32 |
| crazygir | AMD64's *CAN* | 13:32 |
| vidd | ah! thats because the architecture of the KERNEL needs to be different! | 13:32 |
| crazygir | it was part of migrating the consumers | 13:32 |
| crazygir | oh vidd quit it | 13:32 |
| vidd | humor me....get the amd64 image | 13:32 |
| crazygir | thanks to those who corroborated the squash fs errors, I'll try a different iso | 13:33 |
| crazygir | vidd: no, because you are *not* correct here, and I have no need to run the amd64 image. if this is in fact what xubuntu would need, I'll find another linux distribution | 13:34 |
| crazygir | please, please, stop mis-informing people vidd | 13:34 |
| * crazygir wanders off for better things | 13:34 | |
| Myrtti | crazygir: could it be that your cd-rom drive lense is dirty or something? have you tried the cd's on other machines? | 14:01 |
| Myrtti | crazygir: also did you check the cd integrity with the inbuilt integrity check? | 14:05 |
| vidd | \0. maxamillion | 14:10 |
| crazygir | Myrtti: I have tried two separate machines, so yes, I have tried different drives | 14:12 |
| crazygir | I'm about to download a different iso image to test out | 14:12 |
| vidd | crazygir, i was mistaken....the amd64 wont work on the i386....but the i386 should work on the amd64 | 14:13 |
| Myrtti | remember to check the md5sum before and after burning | 14:13 |
| crazygir | vidd: of course. | 14:13 |
| crazygir | I understand mixing this all up, but be careful with the information you are giving people | 14:14 |
| vidd | i appologize for the misunderstanding | 14:14 |
| crazygir | no worries | 14:14 |
| crazygir | I'm less concerned with me, and more with the newb you might be informing | 14:14 |
| crazygir | ;) | 14:14 |
| gabkdlly | crazygir: you would not happen to have a VIA chipset on your IDE controller, would you? | 14:15 |
| gabkdlly | VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C perhaps? | 14:16 |
| crazygir | the possibilities of that is high gabkdlly, at least for one of the systems | 14:16 |
| * crazygir is checking | 14:16 | |
| crazygir | gabkdlly: I'm assuming that is what you have? | 14:16 |
| gabkdlly | yes | 14:17 |
| PrebenR | hi. My wife runs xubuntu on an asus eee 901 PC. It has a 1024x600 display. She wants to connect the laptop to a projector with resolution 800x600. I'm trying to get xrandr to work so that the Asus PC also has 800x600, but if I use --mode 800x600 I get "no mode". How can I add this resolution? | 16:24 |
| Odd-rationale | PrebenR: did you try xrandr -s 800x600 ? | 16:25 |
| PrebenR | I tried adding Modes "1024x600" "800x600" "640x480" in the xorg.conf but didn't help | 16:25 |
| PrebenR | no | 16:25 |
| PrebenR | tried now | 16:26 |
| PrebenR | Size 800x600 not found in available modes | 16:26 |
| Odd-rationale | hmm. can you pastebin the output of "xrandr" ? | 16:27 |
| PrebenR | in the setting-> display I also just get Defualt and 640x480 | 16:27 |
| PrebenR | wait a bit to connect the asus to the net | 16:28 |
| evanthia | hi (PrebenR) from asus | 16:36 |
| evanthia | where is the xrandr output? | 16:36 |
| vidd | evanthia, you open terminal and type xrandr | 16:37 |
| evanthia | yes, but there is no output | 16:37 |
| evanthia | ah | 16:37 |
| evanthia | that output | 16:37 |
| evanthia | I thought it was whyle using the -s 800x600 option | 16:38 |
| evanthia | http://pastebin.com/d327cafa5 | 16:38 |
| evanthia | here is the output | 16:39 |
| Odd-rationale | evanthia: and how about your xorg.conf? | 16:39 |
| Odd-rationale | what version of ubuntu is this btw... | 16:39 |
| evanthia | xubuntu 8.20 | 16:39 |
| evanthia | 8.10 | 16:39 |
| Odd-rationale | k | 16:39 |
| evanthia | I had the default xorg.conf (no setup) | 16:40 |
| evanthia | I'll paste the one I use now | 16:40 |
| evanthia | http://pastebin.com/d65c22a42 | 16:41 |
| evanthia | there are no modelines, but is that needed? | 16:43 |
| Odd-rationale | evanthia: try adding a DefaultDepth 24 line: http://pastebin.com/m159766e0 | 16:46 |
| Odd-rationale | the restart X (logout) and pastebin the output of xrandr again... | 16:47 |
| Odd-rationale | then* | 16:47 |
| evanthia | yes | 16:47 |
| evanthia | no change to the xrandr output | 16:51 |
| Odd-rationale | hmm... | 16:51 |
| evanthia | shall I pastebin Xorg.0.log? | 16:52 |
| sinbox | while you're there: where would I find Xorg logs? | 16:54 |
| sinbox | everytime I reboot I get a "ubuntu is running in low graphics mode" window and I have to manually select the correct monitor, how can I make the change permanent? | 16:54 |
| neozen | sinbox: /var/log/ | 16:55 |
| neozen | sinbox: will be named Xorg.0.log Xorg.1.log etc | 16:55 |
| evanthia | http://pastebin.com/d5f9f5524 | 16:55 |
| sinbox | uhoh I think I just made things worse, I now get a "cannot display this video mode" on startup :/ | 16:56 |
| evanthia | here is the Xorg.0.log | 16:56 |
| sinbox | arghhh | 16:56 |
| neozen | sinbox: ....that was quick | 16:57 |
| neozen | sinbox: did you backup the file before you changed something? | 16:57 |
| neozen | sinbox: standard procedure for me when dealing w/ xorg.conf | 16:57 |
| sinbox | well, I'd just tried saving a display setup that worked and rebooted, but it obviously doesn't like it, nope I did not backup anything as I changed it from the "ubuntu is running in low graphics mode" startup prompt and just saved the one I had to select everytime, anyway neozen I have to run out so I'll come back some other time to pick people's brain on how to fix this :) | 16:58 |
| neozen | sinbox: I may not be here.... but someone who can help you probably will | 16:59 |
| neozen | sinbox: X is still something of a finicky beast on certain architectures | 17:00 |
| sinbox | I didn't actually change it by hand but I know for a fact that it has backed up itself automatically on a daily basis since the problkem started so it shouldn't be a problem restoring a working copy anyway :) I'm sure I'll find someone tommorrow | 17:00 |
| neozen | sinbox: ::nods:: | 17:00 |
| sinbox | well, this is a prehistoric machine as it happens | 17:00 |
| sinbox | ;-) | 17:00 |
| Odd-rationale | evanthia: hmm... what happens if you generate a new xorg.conf (sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg), restart X, and check the output of xrandr? | 17:00 |
| neozen | sinbox: heeheh | 17:00 |
| evanthia | same output | 17:01 |
| evanthia | did it once before | 17:01 |
| Odd-rationale | evanthia: maybe you card does not support that reolution... | 17:02 |
| evanthia | it is not the driver? | 17:02 |
| Odd-rationale | i'm not sure... | 17:02 |
| evanthia | found it | 17:04 |
| evanthia | xrandr --newmode "800x600" 38.21 800 832 976 1008 600 612 618 631 | 17:05 |
| evanthia | xrandr --addmode LVDS "800x600" | 17:05 |
| evanthia | works | 17:05 |
| evanthia | xorg 1.5 doesn't detect all modes | 17:05 |
| Odd-rationale | ok :) | 17:05 |
| evanthia | I was finally lucky with the googling :-) | 17:06 |
| evanthia | thanks for help | 17:06 |
| Odd-rationale | np. | 17:06 |
| evanthia | xrandr fives 800x600 60.1 | 17:06 |
| evanthia | gives | 17:06 |
| evanthia | maybe it is a problem that it is above 60? | 17:07 |
| sinbox | when I try to cd to /X11 from /etc in a tty it tells me: no such file or directory | 17:07 |
| sinbox | ok got it got to go there from file system | 17:08 |
| Odd-rationale | sinbox: if you are in /etc/ , then cd to X11/ | 17:08 |
| evanthia | sinbox: / means root of system, so cd /etc/X11 or cd X11, not cd /X11 because there is no X11 directory in the root | 17:10 |
| sinbox | so now I probably need to do: "cp ./xorg.conf.1 xorg.conf" to put that backup file in place of the messed up one is that correct? | 17:11 |
| Odd-rationale | sinbox: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:11 |
| Odd-rationale | it is always safer to use full name when unsure... :) | 17:12 |
| sinbox | OK I'll do that, but the backup files seem to have numbers appended rather than a bak extension will report in a couple of minutes | 17:13 |
| Odd-rationale | sinbox: use tab completion :P | 17:13 |
| sinbox | yes I've learnt that bit but thanks all the same Odd-rationale :) rebooting now | 17:15 |
| sinbox | success booting Xorg graphics into gdm now | 17:15 |
| Odd-rationale | :D | 17:16 |
| Odd-rationale | !yay | 17:16 |
| ubottu | Glad you made it! :-) | 17:16 |
| sinbox | I'm wondering if doing a dpkg-reconfigure Xorg might be the easy way to solve my main problem | 17:17 |
| sinbox | mind you: I didn't get a low graphics warning so maybe it's already fixed | 17:17 |
| * sinbox does a full shut down and boot again to check | 17:18 | |
| Odd-rationale | most people can run without an xorg.conf file... like me :P | 17:18 |
| Odd-rationale | with the new xorg, that is... | 17:19 |
| sinbox | wow and it works :) guess I hadn't made that much of a mess then ;-) | 17:19 |
| sinbox | well, I'm on 8.04 as some of the apps I really need seem to have a bunch of issues on 8.10, but I've installed fluxbox to save on ressources and am planning on swapping gdm with either xdm or slim | 17:20 |
| Odd-rationale | sinbox: or you can use a text login... i did that for a time... :D | 17:21 |
| sinbox | well, I'm setting up the machine for some DJs to use: computer savvy they're not | 17:22 |
| sinbox | in fact I might enable autologin for them | 17:22 |
| sinbox | ok out before I bugger up anything else :D | 17:30 |

| XFCEntra1 | radicalboy: xubuntu should work well for you, and I would first use that instead of Ubuntu (GNOME) | 22:26 |
| === Kudi1 is now known as kudi1 | ||
| TheSheep | kudi1: not much to optimize in xfce itself | 22:27 |

| radicalboy | i use ubuntu 6.06, but this version is long time ago.. | 22:27 |
| radicalboy | i tried debian also | 22:27 |
| XFCEntra1 | radicalboy: Xubuntu 8.10 shouldn't give you trouble on that hardware. how did debian work for you? was that a current version? | 22:28 |
| radicalboy | i use debian 4.0.r5 xfce | 22:29 |
| kudi1 | it seams like a lot of you guys dont care about new releases, ha | 22:30 |
| XFCEntra1 | radicalboy: are you concerned the new release of Xubuntu will run slower on that setup? | 22:31 |
| kudi1 | i just wish ubuntu had rolling release | 22:31 |
| radicalboy | XFCEntra1, i just want a version to work well, without trouble and not slowly | 22:33 |
| XFCEntra1 | and debian etch with xfce wasn't slim enough? you could try using the Fluxbox window manager instead of Xfce. it is a bit bare and you will have to edit config files more often, but it is very light. | 22:35 |
| XFCEntra1 | radicalboy: you might try Fluxbuntu if you're interested in Fluxbox and want a new, debian-base distro to try | 22:36 |
| kudi1 | how do i add places to the xfce menue | 22:48 |
| my_key | i have a problem with the ath5k driver not functioning after suspend/resume (itrepid with linux-modules-backports-generic package installed). Does anybody know how to fix this? | 23:19 |
| Kudi1 | how do i put "places" in the menu? | 23:43 |
