| filipegatti | sorry for kept you waiting. | 00:22 |
| dnyy | I installed emerald, but how do I make it the default theme/window manager? | 00:28 |
| filipegatti | dnyy, you have to disable the option that makes xfce to manage the desktop | 00:29 |
| dnyy | Where's that at? D: | 00:30 |
| dnyy | nvm, i see | 00:30 |
| filipegatti | right button at desktop and desktop settings :D | 00:30 |
| filipegatti | now you can switch your emerald on, maybe you'll need to restart x. | 00:30 |
| dnyy | how do I know if it's on? There's n o "set as manager" or anything in the emerald settings. :/ | 00:31 |
| filipegatti | hmm, try finding the option that makes it "on". i gotta go now, sorry i can't help you anymore | 00:32 |
| filipegatti | see you and good luck | 00:32 |
| dnyy | that's fine, thanks. :) | 00:32 |

| vintagevalves | Hello folks. I'm not sure of the etiquitte, but I'm in need of a bit of assistance. | 04:33 |
| R1coch3t | ask away, if some1 can help they will | 04:37 |
| vintagevalves | R1: Cool thanks | 04:38 |
| vintagevalves | I'm having a problem getting GRUB to boot on some 'antique' hardware: An IBM Thinkpad i series (old p2 with 256mb of ram) | 04:39 |
| vintagevalves | Have tried a few different installs which i'll outline | 04:40 |
| vintagevalves | Install 1. Xubunu full CD - Chose guided partiioning using the full disc - Result : Grub hung at loading Stage1.5 | 04:40 |
| vintagevalves | install2. Xubuntu full CD Manually partitioned created a 100mb /boot partition approx 29gb main partiition and 768mb swap | 04:41 |
| vintagevalves | Result. GRUB loading1.5 hangs with error 15 | 04:42 |
| vintagevalves | Install 3. Xubuntu alternative CD same manual partition as above, same result | 04:42 |
| vintagevalves | Then I did a COMPLETE format to all 0's using a UBCD | 04:42 |
| vintagevalves | Reinstalled like step 2 | 04:43 |
| vintagevalves | now, I'm hanging at GRUB loading 2 | 04:43 |
| vintagevalves | I've made a few 'super grub discs' one CD one Floppy. Both boot, but then are unresponsive | 04:43 |
| vintagevalves | so, that's where I'm at. | 04:43 |
| vintagevalves | From what I've googled, it seems like GRUB is having trouble figuring out the hard drive specs from the bios or something. | 04:45 |
| vintagevalves | Xubuntu does load from the live CD okay. | 04:45 |
| vintagevalves | Interestingly, a few other distro's live CDs (SLAX, Puppy) will not even load | 05:14 |
| vintagevalves | I'm thinking that this system just doesn't like linux | 05:14 |
| vintagevalves | I was just messing with it for a friend, so I guess I'm going to be giving it back to him with good ole Win98 | 05:15 |
| R1coch3t | ouch | 05:15 |
| vintagevalves | Too bad because I was bragging about 'how easy' linux for me was to install (on my less antique machines) | 05:16 |
| vintagevalves | lol | 05:16 |

| R1coch3t | §orry i have no idea | 05:16 |
| R1coch3t | only been on linux for 4 months | 05:16 |
| vintagevalves | Not a problem. I've tinkered with it for 8 years or so on and off. Ubuntu is by far the best (easiest) distro i've experienced | 05:17 |
| vintagevalves | But this problem has me stumped, because i'm by no means an expert | 05:17 |

| Nikola-Xub | heapy: he what? | 20:22 |
| heapy | good luck lad, i been doin that loads lately | 20:22 |
| heapy | i have been having the worst time trying to get a stable ubuntu workin on this laptop. i thought it was to do with my wireless, i get lockups all the time. so i have been comming in here, and using the forums to try and find out if anyone knew what was causing it... gabk is good help | 20:23 |
| heapy | it's weird, now it seems stable (i havent done apt-get update) . but i canny install my video drivers, get flash to work, or have any sound! | 20:25 |
| heapy | when i did apt-get update and installed 200mb of 'updates' firefox changed from 3.0 to 3.04 or something, and the kernel changes also.. i think thats when i get the problems | 20:27 |
| Nikola-Xub | I am making a Linux, and the base will be Xubuntu :D :D :D | 20:29 |
| * heapy can you make it idiot proof? | 20:29 | |
| Nikola-Xub | What? | 20:30 |
| heapy | dont worry :) | 20:30 |
| Nikola-Xub | brb... | 20:35 |
| ImBrian | is it just me, or did an update yesterday break xubuntu desktop? | 20:38 |
| heapy | bbs | 20:38 |
| ImBrian | oh, I see - update to xfdesktop-data but not to xfdesktop4 yesterday breaks everything. Guess I'll not use my computer till someone updates xfdesktop4 to 4.4.3-0 | 20:40 |
| charlie-tca | what version of xubuntu? | 20:41 |
| ImBrian | current | 20:41 |
| charlie-tca | so, 8.10 or 8.04? I run 8.10 here and it´s working okay | 20:42 |
| ImBrian | 8.10 - have you done a full update? | 20:42 |
| ImBrian | xfdesktop-data should be at version 4.4.3-0 | 20:42 |
| charlie-tca | Yes, ran one yesterday. | 20:42 |
| ImBrian | I've enabled all repos, but haven't added any new ones | 20:43 |
| charlie-tca | I just did a fresh install on another system, completely updated it, and it´s working too | 20:44 |
| ImBrian | what is your version of xfdesktop-data? | 20:44 |
| charlie-tca | 4.4.2-7ubuntu3 | 20:46 |
| ImBrian | and you have all your repos enabled? You should have gotten 4.4.3 unless they pulled it | 20:46 |
| charlie-tca | on both machines! | 20:46 |
| ImBrian | xfdesktop4: | 20:47 |
| ImBrian | Depends: xfdesktop4-data (=4.4.2-7ubuntu3) but 4.4.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 is to be installed | 20:47 |
| charlie-tca | have you got proposed enabled? | 20:48 |
| ImBrian | I enabled all in my sources.list | 20:48 |
| ImBrian | I don't think proposed is one that was included (even disabled) | 20:49 |
| kaliree | I know this is the Xubuntu channel, but I have been trying to find answers to a Puppy Linux question, and I didn't know if anyone might be able to help? | 20:49 |
| ImBrian | so I removed xfdesktop4-data (the one that's too current) and updated, hoping it was pulled and would have deprecated - but still no luck | 20:50 |
| charlie-tca | Under updates in synaptic-package-manager -> repositories -> Updates | 20:50 |
| ImBrian | there we go - backports had an update to xfdesktop4-data which conflicted with xfdesktop4 | 20:52 |
| ImBrian | brb - restarting x | 20:53 |
| ImBrian | all is well in the world | 20:54 |
| charlie-tca | :-) | 20:55 |
| ImBrian | thanks for the help - guess I gotta watch out for updates to backports | 20:57 |
| heapy | hello | 21:01 |
| heapy | anyone using xubuntu 8.04 hardy, could you tell me what kernel version you are using please? | 21:02 |
| charlie-tca | heapy: 2.6.24-22-generic | 21:03 |
| charlie-tca | That is on a 32-bit system | 21:04 |
| heapy | mmm | 21:05 |
| heapy | is that the hardy version charlie? | 21:05 |
| charlie-tca | Yes. Xubuntu 8.04.1 | 21:06 |
| charlie-tca | all updates as of this morning | 21:06 |
| charlie-tca | My 64-bit is not up to date | 21:06 |
| heapy | mm i just done the updates too, mine is using 2,6.24-19 generic.. | 21:06 |
| charlie-tca | and it completed the updates? Maybe the internet connection failed | 21:07 |
| heapy | yeah it done the lot | 21:08 |
| heapy | i just had to check the cd again to make sure it was 8.04.1 | 21:08 |
| charlie-tca | My 64-bit is 2.6.24-21 | 21:08 |
| charlie-tca | and it is not up to date | 21:08 |
| heapy | to get the updates to show in the update manager, do i do.. apt-get updates ? | 21:09 |
| heapy | sudo | 21:09 |
| charlie-tca | I do that in terminal, then run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to get it to fully update | 21:09 |
| heapy | the only thing it asked me was if i wanted to keep the existing grub menu.lst or change... | 21:10 |
| charlie-tca | did you keep it? | 21:11 |
| heapy | yeah | 21:11 |
| heapy | i think! | 21:11 |
| charlie-tca | you have to go to /boot/grub and update it manually now. It won´t show 22 if you told it not to update | 21:11 |
| heapy | what should i of chosen? to use the other menu? | 21:13 |
| heapy | titleUbuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic | 21:13 |
| heapy | alright thanks for the help, will bbs :) x | 21:15 |
| charlie-tca | Yeah, to let it replace it. | 21:15 |
| Whit1 | I've got a dell inspiron 3200, with xubuntu 7.10 on it, and my audio doesn't work, it's a cs4237b chipset, i've done googled all i can and found solutions, but still no sound | 21:37 |
| Whit1 | i've tried modprobe snd-4236(there's no 4237 module) | 21:38 |
| Whit1 | lspnp picks it up, but not lspci(it's ISA) | 21:39 |
| tingle | i would like to use alt+1 alt+2 ect in xterm for a irc application called irssi. i cant by default i remember you have to tweak something in a xterm config file.. can someone help me out? | 21:40 |
| Whit1 | i'm lost. I'm so used to windows, where i just download a driver and install | 21:40 |
| tingle | Whit1: it should find and ask you to istall new drivers if it sound work out of the box.. not sure how you can check your specs though.. | 21:46 |
| Whit1 | it works in windows | 21:47 |
| Whit1 | but windows xp runs real slow on here, so i get audio of stability and speed? | 21:48 |
| Whit1 | audio or stability and speed* | 21:49 |
| tingle | Whit1: hm there are no garentees.. you can try the live cd to check it before you install it on your hd | 21:49 |
| tingle | Whit1: but im almost certain that it will run | 21:49 |
| Whit1 | i've run kubuntu 8.10, xubuntu 7.10 and freespire live CDs they all work, but the audio doesn't on any of them | 21:51 |
| Whit1 | and xubuntu 7.10 is instaled and fully updated | 21:51 |
| tingle | good so you already installed it | 21:51 |
| Whit1 | yes, but no audio | 21:51 |
| tingle | what card do you have? | 21:52 |
| Whit1 | i'd have tried slackware, but kde doesn't work on there | 21:52 |
| tingle | slackware is a bit more complicated xD | 21:52 |
| Whit1 | from what i've read i have a crystal cs4237b | 21:52 |
| Whit1 | yes but slack is much more robust(3 cd's vs 1, many more programs and drivers) | 21:53 |
| tingle | Whit1: http://www.linux-laptop.net/hosted/xubuntu-thinkpad770e.html | 21:55 |
| tingle | Whit1: this might help a howto on xubuntu and crystal cs4237b try it and find out | 21:55 |
| tingle | Whit1: google is your friend ;x | 21:55 |
| heapy | helloa | 22:19 |
