| sinbox | is this inbuil or pcmcia card? | 00:20 |
| sinbox | oh | 00:20 |

| linuxman410 | how can you check amount of memory in computer in xubuntu | 00:36 |
| linuxman410 | is there something i can type in terminal and get it | 00:38 |
| knome | linuxman410, 'free' / 'free -m' (as megabytes) | 00:40 |
| linuxman410 | thanks | 00:40 |
| knome | maybe try learning google? | 00:40 |
| knome | not an offense, but you get quicker answers :) | 00:40 |
| linuxman410 | ok | 00:41 |
| linuxman410 | i do not mind waiting xubuntu and ubuntu has best support i ever seen | 00:41 |
| knome | yeah well, you could maybe part of that support ;) | 00:42 |
| knome | +be | 00:43 |
| * sinbox just asked google what a "debug build" is | 00:43 | |
| knome | i want pizza | 00:48 |
| owen1__ | my Gforce card is not being used. how to tell ubuntu to start using it? | 01:01 |
| knome | owen1__, if you have an integrated card, maybe disable it first from the bios | 01:02 |
| owen1__ | knome: i don't know what integrated card means. mine is: GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x | 01:03 |
| sinbox | !pizza | 01:03 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pizza | 01:03 |
| knome | owen1__, integrated in your motherboard. | 01:03 |
| sinbox | oopss: bad bot | 01:03 |
| sinbox | :) | 01:03 |
| owen1__ | knome: does integrated means - 'can't detach from my motherboard' ? | 01:05 |
| knome | owen1__, yes. | 01:06 |
| owen1__ | knome: when i type : grep drivers /var/log/Xorg.0.log i see: Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nv_drv.so | 01:06 |
| knome | maybe nv_drv refers to integrated nvidia card. | 01:06 |
| owen1__ | knome: when i type: glxgears -info i see: GL_RENDERER = Software Rasterizer | 01:06 |
| sinbox | is your cadr on the motherboard or do you have a card in a PCI/AGP slot owen1__ ? | 01:07 |
| terminhell1 | anyone here??? | 01:07 |
| knome | terminhell1, nope. | 01:07 |
| terminhell1 | dang | 01:07 |
| terminhell1 | :p | 01:07 |
| terminhell1 | i just installed, updated and trying to get my broadcom working | 01:08 |
| sinbox | is this inbuil or pcmcia card? terminhell1 | 01:08 |
| GINZ | Hi | 01:08 |
| terminhell1 | it worked under ubuntu, and inbuilt | 01:08 |
| GINZ | I am running Xubuntu, and recently made a blunder in the terminal. I got the error notice "#1290 - The MYSQL server is running with the - - skip-gfrant-tables option | 01:08 |
| GINZ | <GINZ> so it cannot execute this statement | 01:08 |
| owen1__ | sinbox: is it the card with the vga and svideo connections? | 01:08 |
| terminhell1 | via the restricted b43 driver but now i get nothing | 01:08 |
| GINZ | Can anyone tell me how to fix this please? | 01:09 |
| sinbox | did you use the bw43cutter thingmajig terminhell1 | 01:09 |
| terminhell1 | ya the firmware seems to be installed | 01:09 |
| owen1__ | sinbox: i don't know what it's look like..sorry for my ignorance.. | 01:09 |
| * sinbox knows nothing about mySQL GINZ | 01:09 | |
| sinbox | it's ok owen1__ , how many video/monitor output do you have? (asin: in separate places on your computer) | 01:10 |
| knome | GINZ, maybe 'sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart' | 01:10 |
| sinbox | is your network settings set to roaming terminhell1 ? | 01:11 |
| GINZ | Ah thanks i will try that | 01:11 |
| knome | it should just restart the mysql server | 01:11 |
| terminhell1 | i dont see any way of setting it to that | 01:11 |
| sinbox | applications menu > system > network | 01:12 |
| terminhell1 | the weird part is, is the LED light is on for the device... | 01:12 |
| terminhell1 | and when i run iwconfig i get info about it | 01:12 |
| sinbox | selct the wireless network and check if the roaming tick box is enabled | 01:12 |
| sinbox | can you pastebin your iwconfig output? | 01:12 |
| owen1__ | sinbox: only 1 vga and 1 svideo (on the some card) | 01:13 |
| terminhell1 | and all i can see is just the words Wireless Networks | 01:13 |
| terminhell1 | http://pastebin.com/d17f19d5f | 01:14 |
| owen1__ | sinbox: (on the same card) | 01:14 |
| sinbox | and your monitor is pluged into that card then owen1__ | 01:17 |
| owen1__ | sinbox: yes | 01:18 |
| sinbox | then surely it's working (or am I missing the point here?) | 01:19 |
| terminhell1 | its like im missing some network utilities | 01:20 |
| sinbox | have you tried to switch the roaming on terminhell1 in the network settings window which appears from here: applications menu > system > network? | 01:21 |
| owen1__ | sinbox: i can't play games. even crappy 2d games since everything is slow. | 01:21 |
| terminhell1 | i dont have that | 01:21 |
| GINZ | Knome, I did 'sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart' It stopped then restarted mysql, then gave line "Checking for corrupt. not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables. | 01:22 |
| owen1__ | sinbox: someone told me to type the command glxgears -info and the result was: GL_RENDERER = Software Rasterizer | 01:22 |
| sinbox | hmm no idea wht needs to be done for you I'm afraid owen1__ | 01:22 |
| owen1__ | sinbox: no problem. thanks! | 01:22 |
| knome | GINZ, what is going on now then? | 01:22 |
| sinbox | you can also ask in ubuntu owen1__ if no one can help you here | 01:22 |
| owen1__ | sinbox: i will. | 01:22 |
| sinbox | what don't you have terminhell1 ? | 01:22 |
| GINZ | knome I am not sure | 01:23 |
| terminhell1 | i dont have "network" in App>syst | 01:23 |
| knome | GINZ, is it working or not? :P | 01:23 |
| sinbox | hmmm weird, are you on 8.10? | 01:23 |
| GINZ | I will check. I am new to this and have to follow a tutorial so it will take me a moment or three | 01:24 |
| terminhell1 | ya | 01:24 |
| terminhell1 | and updated | 01:24 |
| knome | GINZ, k | 01:24 |
| terminhell1 | whats the command util called? maybe i can find it manually | 01:24 |
| sinbox | take a look at this maybe terminhell1 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 | 01:26 |
| sinbox | it's a how-to setup wifi via the cli | 01:26 |

| KillerOrcaSys | knome: I could play them, they won't anymore | 01:38 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, after doing *what* | 01:39 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: as far as I can tell, installing a 2nd HDD | 01:39 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, doesn't sound a reason. | 01:40 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, if you launch your dvd player app in terminal, what output do you get? | 01:40 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: well other than that I have been doing normal apt updates | 01:40 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: I use VLC, not sure how to launch it via terminal | 01:40 |
| terminhell | =/ | 01:40 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, just open terminal and run 'vlc' | 01:41 |
| sinbox | I take it the DVD and 2nd HDD are on the secondary IDE, have you set the jumpers properly KillerOrcaSys ? | 01:41 |
| KillerOrcaSys | sinbox: well I can access both drives so I am assuming | 01:42 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: should I run it with the DVD in the drive? | 01:42 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, sure, and try to play the dvd | 01:43 |
| sinbox | yeah I guess you'd get a warning at boot time if the jumpers were badly messing it up | 01:44 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: ok vlc starts then just sits there | 01:45 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, try to play the dvd | 01:45 |
| GINZ | knome I am using http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/recover-mysql-root-password.html | 01:45 |
| knome | GINZ, yes? | 01:46 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: I get this:Unable to open 'dvd:///dev/scd0' | 01:46 |
| GINZ | got to second step, # mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &, and it says mysql_safe: command not found | 01:47 |
| knome | GINZ, mysql*D*_safe | 01:47 |
| GINZ | woops, thanks | 01:47 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, a-ha. you have a different dev path now. type 'mount' in another terminal | 01:48 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: mount what? | 01:48 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, just 'mount' | 01:48 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, you should see a list of current mounts | 01:49 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: yeah I do | 01:49 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, can you paste to pastebin | 01:49 |

| knome | KillerOrcaSys, so if you navigate to /media/disk, does it show the contents of your dvd? | 01:54 |
| sinbox | ok, it's weird you can't open your network settings from the menu though | 01:54 |
| terminhell | ya nothing there | 01:54 |
| knome | terminhell, can you do a really quick recap: what is not working? wifi? | 01:55 |

| GINZ | knome did that work? | 01:56 |
| GINZ | Oh ok | 01:56 |
| sinbox | GINZ, you have to go to: http://paste.ubuntu.com and then paste on that page | 01:56 |
| knome | terminhell, 'sudo nm-connection-manager' at terminal? | 01:57 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: I think /media/disk is my 2nd HDD | 01:58 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, ok. | 01:58 |
| terminhell | command not found | 01:58 |
| knome | terminhell, ok: 'sudo nm-connection-editor' | 01:59 |
| KillerOrcaSys | is there just a way to list all my DVD/CD-Rom drives? | 01:59 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, i'm on a bit slow moment now :) | 01:59 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, wait a sec. | 01:59 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, do you see your DVD drive icon in thunar? | 02:00 |
| terminhell | ya i can bring that up normally | 02:00 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, in the left? | 02:00 |
| knome | terminhell, so what is the problem? | 02:00 |
| terminhell | ive added a connection there before | 02:01 |
| terminhell | and nothing | 02:01 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: it isn't in the left, but when I go to computer I can see the icon, when I click on it it says 'unable to mount' | 02:01 |
| knome | terminhell, nothing = ? you can't connect? | 02:01 |
| terminhell | ive been told to enable roaming, but i have no option for it | 02:01 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, ok | 02:01 |
| GINZ | Knome did i do it correctly this time? | 02:02 |
| forces | saluton | 02:02 |
| knome | GINZ, what is the pastebin url? | 02:02 |
| GINZ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/94008/ | 02:02 |
| knome | GINZ, i think so. what happens if you restart? | 02:03 |
| knome | GINZ, (mysql) | 02:03 |
| knome | GINZ, does it work? | 02:03 |
| GINZ | ? restart? exactly what does this mean? | 02:03 |
| knome | GINZ, 'sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart' | 02:04 |

| terminhell | Not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace | 02:04 |
| KillerOrcaSys | sinbox: I'm starting to think it may be the jumpers, I have 3 IDEs though | 02:04 |
| terminhell | meh, ima just reinstall ubuntu | 02:05 |
| sinbox | it could be that or maybe the cable not being in place fully at the back, worth a check just in case KillerOrcaSys has happened to me bofore and they looked good, but when I checked the cable wasn't in fully | 02:05 |
| sinbox | and you have the nm-applet tem? wht does that say? | 02:06 |
| sinbox | terminhell, * | 02:06 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, what does 'sudo lshw | grep cd' return? | 02:06 |
| terminhell | nothing | 02:07 |
| terminhell | it just shows my wired connection | 02:07 |
| GINZ | knome http://paste.ubuntu.com/94010/ | 02:07 |
| terminhell | and options to connect to vpn and hidden stuff | 02:07 |
| knome | GINZ, did you *really* get that last line with "mysql..." ? | 02:08 |
| GINZ | yes | 02:08 |
| sinbox | yep, I had that problem with my broadcom too , it magically fixed itself after a reboot. do you know whtat chipset or chipset series your broadcom is? | 02:08 |
| knome | GINZ, weird. | 02:08 |
| knome | GINZ, however it looks like it's ok. can you login with phpmyadmin? | 02:08 |
| terminhell | b43xx | 02:08 |
| GINZ | woops I missed out one line | 02:09 |
| terminhell | ya ive experienced the magic fix before | 02:09 |
| sinbox | and you used the FW43cutter already? | 02:09 |
| terminhell | when runing fedora 10 the other day it was doing that, would work sometimes then not, but i had to use ndiwrapper | 02:09 |
| terminhell | i think so | 02:09 |
| sinbox | I had to run the FW43cuter twice before mine got fixed | 02:10 |
| GINZ | knome http://paste.ubuntu.com/94011/ | 02:10 |
| terminhell | how do i do that | 02:10 |
| sinbox | one sec | 02:10 |
| terminhell | i dont understand why this is being so much more difficult | 02:11 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: http://paste.ubuntu.com/94012/ | 02:11 |
| sinbox | do you know which 43xxx it is exactly in there? have any reference for it? | 02:12 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, you have two cd/dvd drivers ? | 02:12 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: no, one is just CD | 02:12 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, ok. | 02:12 |
| GINZ | knome no it is not accwpting my password, but I have only gone to step 2 so far of 6 steps | 02:12 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, your system is trying to read the dvd from the cd drive | 02:12 |
| knome | GINZ, ok | 02:12 |
| terminhell | Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) | 02:12 |
| terminhell | -,- | 02:13 |
| sinbox | ok | 02:13 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, 'vlc --dvd /dev/scd1' and try to play dvd? | 02:13 |
| terminhell | like i said, it auto detected the restricted driver for it and i installed them, and usually after i ran that in ubuntu it work either work on the spot or after a reboot | 02:14 |
| GINZ | knome I don't know what is wrong but the step 3 got Access denied | 02:15 |
| knome | GINZ, then the first step hasn't worked. | 02:16 |
| knome | GINZ, do you have any importand data in there? | 02:16 |
| GINZ | not yet LOL | 02:16 |
| sinbox | and do you have ndiswrapper installed? I don't think this one needs the FW43cutter terminhell | 02:16 |
| terminhell | sinbox: no | 02:17 |
| GINZ | My son set the machine up in Feb and I have just started trying to use it | 02:17 |
| knome | GINZ, ok, so you might want to 'sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server' | 02:17 |
| GINZ | and son is now out of reach | 02:17 |
| knome | GINZ, and then 'sudo apt-get install mysql-server' | 02:17 |
| knome | GINZ, you should get clean configuration | 02:17 |
| knome | GINZ, and please do *NOT* forget your password again ;) | 02:18 |
| GINZ | Knome will that be OK if I don;t have the right password? | 02:18 |
| sinbox | ah ok | 02:18 |
| GINZ | My son has not given me complete control apparently | 02:18 |
| sinbox | terminhell, I think you want to read this then: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff | 02:19 |
| knome | GINZ, the password is yours | 02:19 |
| GINZ | Oh the one for opening the computer? | 02:19 |
| knome | GINZ, yes. | 02:19 |
| GINZ | So it is safe for me to do the two lines you gave above? | 02:20 |
| knome | GINZ, yes, if you really don't have anything in the mysql (and nobody else has) | 02:20 |
| KillerOrcaSys | sinbox: do backwards jumpers matter? | 02:20 |
| GINZ | al I have done with it was attempt to make a new user and db | 02:21 |
| GINZ | so I could get work being done in Gallery | 02:21 |
| knome | GINZ, so you've just installed it, right? | 02:21 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: http://paste.ubuntu.com/94015/ | 02:21 |
| GINZ | I shall do those lines now | 02:21 |
| knome | GINZ, ok. :) | 02:21 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, replace scd1 with scd0 ? | 02:22 |
| GINZ | knome woops another to paste | 02:23 |
| knome | GINZ, ok | 02:23 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: same result | 02:24 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, and you have a dvd in drive ?:P | 02:24 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: afraid so | 02:25 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, what about /dev/dvd ? | 02:25 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: same result | 02:26 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, and this dvd has worked earlier? | 02:26 |
| GINZ | knome http://paste.ubuntu.com/94020/ | 02:26 |
| knome | GINZ, close synaptic ;) | 02:27 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: yeah, I didn't touch this IDE cable or these drives either when I installed the ned HDD | 02:27 |
| GINZ | knome done | 02:27 |
| knome | GINZ, try again | 02:27 |
| GINZ | ok | 02:27 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, weird. | 02:28 |
| KillerOrcaSys | I am going to reboot to check something, bacck in a min | 02:28 |
| GINZ | Knome this time it got "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ... etc | 02:29 |
| knome | GINZ, please paste complete output at pastebin | 02:29 |
| GINZ | can I pm you please? | 02:30 |
| knome | GINZ, ok, if it's really necessary ;) | 02:31 |
| sinbox | knome you ever used clonezilla live cd? | 02:38 |
| knome | sinbox, nope. | 02:39 |
| sinbox | ok nvm :) | 02:39 |
| KillerOrcaSys | well i removed the 2nd HDD and it still won't play DVD's | 02:53 |
| KillerOrcaSys | anyone have reccomendations for a new DVD drvie? | 02:53 |
| KillerOrcaSys | still seems to read CDs fine though | 02:55 |
| sinbox | so you can play an audio CD in that drive via VLC? | 02:57 |
| KillerOrcaSys | sinbox: no, it just opens up sound juicer instead of refusing to do anything when I put in a DVD | 02:58 |
| sinbox | and if you have an audio CD in there can you play it via VLC? | 03:00 |
| KillerOrcaSys | sinbox: not via vlc but I can at least see the CD in the desktop | 03:01 |
| sinbox | even if you start vlc it won't play the CD? | 03:02 |
| sinbox | when you do openm disc? | 03:02 |
| sinbox | -m | 03:02 |
| KillerOrcaSys | sinbox: I can open the disc, but not play anything, says I'm missing a codec | 03:03 |
| knome | !dvd | KillerOrcaSys | 03:03 |
| ubottu | KillerOrcaSys: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 03:03 |
| sinbox | weird that with vlcbut at least it finds the drive (or had you worked that out already?) | 03:03 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, specifically: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | 03:04 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: I have the formats, it just won't play | 03:04 |
| knome | mmhm. | 03:04 |
| sinbox | but it finds the drive now? | 03:04 |
| sinbox | beause I was under the impression it was not finding it earlier | 03:05 |
| KillerOrcaSys | sinbox: when there is a DVD in there it can't find it | 03:05 |
| * sinbox wonder who is that remote that keeps closing connections | 03:05 | |
| knome | it's me | 03:06 |
| sinbox | ok do this right now in vlc: view menu > messages | 03:06 |
| sinbox | in there you should have the reference to which is the drive (if you haven't closed it since you tried to play that CD) | 03:06 |
| sinbox | haha | 03:06 |
| * sinbox hides from remote knome | 03:07 | |
| KillerOrcaSys | sinbox: http://paste.ubuntu.com/94037/ | 03:07 |
| sinbox | not too sure, it's weird if the drive is mounted, I thought that that was the problem earlier | 03:08 |
| knome | i'm just guessing a missing dvdread lib | 03:08 |
| knome | or just something really simple | 03:09 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: well I'm re-doing the lbdvdcss install | 03:09 |
| knome | KillerOrcaSys, yep. | 03:09 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: still won't open the DVD | 03:11 |
| knome | :< | 03:12 |
| knome | http://failblog.org/2008/04/27/pot-of-gold-fail/ | 03:12 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: http://paste.ubuntu.com/94040/ | 03:13 |
| sinbox | if it was just a dvd lib missing the CD audio should have played though | 03:13 |
| sinbox | you don't have another DVD or CD drive you could put in there just to try out? | 03:15 |
| KillerOrcaSys | sinbox: which leads me to believe I need a new drive, I mean it is 8 years old | 03:15 |
| sinbox | that could be it, then again if you had another one you could just put in to test that would be easier | 03:16 |
| sinbox | my DVD burner is all funny as well, it will only burn audio CDs, no data, no iso images :/ very annoying | 03:17 |
| knome | i need to sleep | 03:17 |
| knome | good night everybody | 03:17 |
| sinbox | night night over the east | 03:18 |
| KillerOrcaSys | knome: night | 03:18 |
| KillerOrcaSys | sinbox: at the moment no, I will need to newegg one down here | 03:18 |
| william56 | anyone know of an app similiar to fruity loops that'll run in xubuntu? | 03:57 |
| w00t | is there a way to get archive manager to tell me its statu when its extracting a big file? | 04:04 |
| w00t | william56: lmms | 04:04 |
| w00t | although you may wanna look into running an older version of fruity loops using wine with jack | 04:05 |
| w00t | i run win vsts with a very high working rate with newest wine using my good old windows sequencer :) | 04:05 |
| w00t | im pretty sure fl7 works | 04:05 |
| william56 | thanks, but i'm looking to fill up this computer i'm gonna be getting my hands on with free stuff. i've bookmarked the lmms homepage though | 04:06 |
| w00t | cool, nothing wrong with that....remember that there are free apps to run windows vts to use in your stuff (and also lmms can run some win vsts) | 04:11 |
| w00t | a lot of win vsts are free, free beer though | 04:12 |
| william56 | ah | 04:16 |
| w00t | and with jack audio its all connectable so you can mix native apps and whatever else jack compatible as needed...so many options i love it :D | 04:18 |
| roccity | can anyone suggest if wubi is good for beginners | 04:32 |
| roccity | I got moms trying it out | 04:32 |
| sinbox | never tried it but I guess it's a good way to find out what's in store without damaging yur windows | 04:32 |
| roccity | I tried it but that was a whie ago and it seemed slow | 04:34 |
| sinbox | well it would be slower than a proper install | 04:36 |
| roccity | I'm just tring to convert family to the dark side | 04:39 |

| w00t | anyone know a good way to setup iso mounting in xubuntu similar to "daemon tools" | 04:40 |

| Sinister | i only want to get mail when the to: has one addy mine is that posoble ? | 05:32 |

| w00t | yeah got a script now , thank | 05:34 |
| w00t | you | 05:34 |

| william56 | oic, -t iso9660 | 05:35 |
| william56 | oh great, my harddrive just clicked while i was resizing my windows partition for an xubuntu install | 05:45 |
| w00t | uh oh | 05:49 |
| william56 | the whole thing froze, and i had to redetect the hd in the bios to get it working | 05:50 |
| william56 | guess i'll be reinstalling windows tonight.. | 05:51 |
| william56 | oh hell | 05:52 |
| william56 | i just realised i had 4 or 5 gigs worth of oblivion mods on there | 05:53 |
| w00t | :| | 05:54 |
| w00t | i hate that | 05:54 |
| william56 | you ever play oblivion? i had the whole fcom: convergence deal, along with all of the wiseman's reduced textures packs, including the extra one.. probably another texture overhaul or two also | 05:57 |
| w00t | actually i havent played...im a console gamer ;) | 06:05 |

| juhls | How do I totally not save a session at logout? It always reopens programs I had open before. | 06:29 |
| Odd-rationale | juhls: uncheck the save session check box when you log out... also you might want to delete ~/.cache/sesions | 06:32 |
| Odd-rationale | or ~/.xfce4/sessions or something like that... forgot the exact name... | 06:33 |
| juhls | I'll move the file checking the box doesn't seem to do anything | 06:33 |
| Muhammad_Saad | Hello, I have installed xubuntu-desktop on Ubuntu 8.04 and now it has limited me to two virtual desktops. Whereas I remember that I could increase the number of virtual desktops as much as I wished when the last time I installed Xfce by just installing xfce4 package. What is the problem here? Does anyone know? | 06:56 |
| Odd-rationale | Muhammad_Saad: well, in xfce, try going to Applications --> Settings --> settings manager. One of those should be able to change the number of desktops. | 06:58 |
| JacobS | Muhammad, if you have installed Compiz the desktop is only is limit a two desk | 06:58 |
| Muhammad_Saad | Thanks Odd-rationale. I found it. | 07:01 |
| snowman | is there a program that will let you use live input from a webcam? | 07:03 |
| Muhammad_Saad | I just got another question in my mind. I have seen videos of 3D cubes on GNOME as well as KDE. How can I do that? Which packages do I need? And is it possible on Xfce too? | 07:04 |
| JacobS | Yes, but is very "buggy" is not recomend to begginers | 07:04 |
| Muhammad_Saad | Is it problematic on all desktop environments or just Xfce? | 07:05 |
| snowman | muhammad_saad: you need to download compiz Im running it no-prob | 07:06 |
| snowman | it is very CPU intensive though | 07:06 |
| JacobS | Is very well with GNOME, but you need a ATI or Nvidia chips | 07:07 |
| w00t | its not as buggy as one might think (compiz) | 07:08 |
| w00t | its just gpu intensive | 07:08 |
| Muhammad_Saad | It seems like the default Ubuntu installation already comes with some components of compiz as I can see them installed in the package manager. What do I need in addition to these? | 07:08 |
| snowman | just search compiz in add/remove | 07:09 |
| w00t | compiz fusion, emerald, fusion-icon | 07:09 |
| w00t | fusion-icon is a very useful package if you want to run compiz | 07:09 |
| JacobS | emerald is a sust of Windows manager to Xfce, for this ha ve several bugs | 07:10 |
| w00t | hmmm pretty stable for me | 07:10 |
| w00t | newest iterations at least | 07:11 |
| JacobS | Is possible run Xfce windows manager and emerald? | 07:11 |

| vidd | we just had someone with that problem the other day.... | 13:53 |
| vidd | what does lspci tell you your card is? | 13:54 |
| PurplePlus | solotim what happens if u try ctrl-alt-+(the plus key) | 13:54 |
| solotim | purpleplus, nothing happened | 13:55 |
| solotim | ATI Rage 128 Mobility graphics card. | 13:55 |
| vidd | PurplePlus, he has a laptop....he probably only has the "+" on the same key as the "=" sign...and that dont work like you expect | 13:56 |
| vidd | solotim, that is NOT what lspci tells you | 13:56 |
| solotim | ok, guys , I just found something maybe useful. thank you~ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=828588 | 13:56 |
| PurplePlus | ouch | 13:56 |
| solotim | I'll report later. | 13:56 |
| vidd | i love posts that say "blindly copy/paste the contents of "file x" into this folder that is used with elivated permissions during boot....." | 14:02 |
| * vidd prefers posts that state the changes and why | 14:02 | |
| vidd | PurplePlus, i like that resolution shortcut btw | 14:03 |
| solotim | Done, cheers | 14:04 |
| solotim | :) | 14:04 |
| solotim | thank u all | 14:04 |
| solotim | bye | 14:04 |
| vidd | solotim, | 14:04 |
| vidd | hold up | 14:04 |
| solotim | yes, | 14:04 |
| solotim | what | 14:04 |
| vidd | can you at least add to that post the contents of that file? | 14:05 |
| vidd | or maybe pastebin it? | 14:05 |
| klopapier | hey back again | 14:05 |
| klopapier | thanks TheSheep | 14:06 |
| vidd | im assuming that it worked for you | 14:06 |
| klopapier | ur tips worked fine | 14:06 |
| solotim | sorry, I don´t understand your meanning, I just followed the guide of that post, downloaded the conf file it offered and substituted my local xorg.conf | 14:06 |
| vidd | yes | 14:06 |

| vidd | but im not going to register to a site | 14:06 |
| solotim | may I? | 14:06 |
| klopapier | now i just need a cool list of repositories | 14:06 |
| solotim | oh, I see. | 14:06 |
| vidd | !pastebin | 14:06 |
| ubottu | 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) | 14:06 |
| klopapier | were can i find them | 14:06 |
| klopapier | ? | 14:07 |
| vidd | solotim, i want to make sure that the instructions dont have "import rootkit" in it somewhere =] | 14:07 |
| klopapier | where can i find a cool list of repositories? | 14:10 |
| vidd | klopapier, define "cool" | 14:10 |
| solotim | http://paste.ubuntu.com/94302/ | 14:10 |
| klopapier | or is it enough if i just uncomment those commented in the sources.list | 14:10 |
| solotim | done | 14:10 |
| klopapier | i dont know | 14:10 |
| klopapier | with lots of useful apps | 14:10 |
| * vidd thinks that the basic main, universe and multiverse repos are just "cool" as i need | 14:10 | |
| klopapier | xDD | 14:11 |
| klopapier | ok | 14:11 |
| ramrod | just look for apps youd like to use | 14:11 |
| vidd | solotim, let me review that b4 ya go? | 14:11 |
| ramrod | when somethings not in your repos add the required | 14:11 |
| klopapier | but there are some packages it doesnt find | 14:11 |
| klopapier | VLC | 14:11 |
| klopapier | opera browser | 14:11 |
| klopapier | for starters | 14:12 |
| solotim | well, :) I have to go. I´ll come here tomorrow the same time | 14:12 |
| solotim | see ya | 14:12 |
| vidd | i wont be here | 14:12 |
| vidd | there is a lot of junk in that file | 14:12 |
| solotim | oh a!? | 14:13 |
| solotim | but it works | 14:13 |
| solotim | why | 14:13 |
| vidd | and you are now locked to only 1 sceen resolution | 14:13 |
| solotim | i dont care, since it works | 14:13 |
| solotim | this is laptop | 14:13 |
| klopapier | what about those "canonical" and "backports" repos? | 14:13 |
| solotim | i can only in this resolution. | 14:13 |
| vidd | if your fine with bloat and limitations, then fine | 14:13 |
| klopapier | worth to uncomment | 14:13 |
| klopapier | ? | 14:14 |
| solotim | vidd, what´s your suggestion then | 14:14 |
| solotim | it will be appreciated | 14:14 |
| vidd | remove line 50, and 55-84...... | 14:14 |
| vidd | you should then have all resolutions your display and monitor can support | 14:15 |
| solotim | ok. I´ll try tomorrow. Thank you very much!! I´ll remember u | 14:15 |
| solotim | I really have to go. it´s time to do sth | 14:16 |
| solotim | bye | 14:16 |
| vidd | also...the keyboard and mouse are configured by HAL | 14:16 |
| vidd | so you dont really need them either | 14:16 |
| vidd | other than that, the file is safe to use | 14:16 |
| klopapier | what about those "canonical" and "backports" repos? | 14:19 |
| klopapier | worth to uncomment? | 14:19 |
| vidd | klopapier, didnt you just say that b4? | 14:20 |
| klopapier | yeah but nobody answered | 14:20 |
| klopapier | :s | 14:20 |
| vidd | and nobody new came into the room.... | 14:20 |
| vidd | they didnt have an answer b4....why would they have one now? | 14:21 |
| klopapier | maybe others in the room who weren't payin attention the fisrt time were now... | 14:21 |
| klopapier | dont know... | 14:21 |
| vidd | i personally never bother with backports, and i dont have any idea if i would trust a "cononical" repo...so IDK | 14:21 |
| klopapier | just u and solo were talkin | 14:21 |
| klopapier | ok | 14:22 |
| klopapier | thanks | 14:22 |
| vidd | look at it this way.... | 14:22 |
| vidd | backports add "new" apps to "old" versions | 14:23 |
| klopapier | ok | 14:23 |
| vidd | for example.... | 14:23 |
| klopapier | just read in operas website | 14:23 |
| klopapier | "If you are using an Ubuntu-based distribution, you can get Opera directly from Canonical's commercial repository." | 14:23 |
| vidd | after 7.10's release, FF came out with version 3 | 14:23 |
| vidd | if you wanted FF3 in 7.10, you had to compile it or get a deb.... | 14:24 |
| vidd | then, it was added to backports | 14:24 |
| klopapier | i c | 14:24 |
| klopapier | ...whats meant with "commercial repository" ... do i have to pay for installing packages? | 14:25 |
| klopapier | hows that | 14:25 |
| vidd | dunno | 14:25 |
| klopapier | hope not | 14:26 |
| klopapier | i'll try | 14:26 |
| vidd | like i said...IDK if i'd trust that | 14:26 |
| vidd | multiverse is maintained by ppl looking out for ppl.... | 14:27 |
| vidd | dunno if id use a repo that is maintained by ppl looking out for corprate | 14:27 |

| Saad1 | How do I change the configuration for xkb layouts? | 14:45 |
| Saad1 | in Ubuntu 8.10 | 14:45 |
| vidd | Saad1, you can add the keyboard layout plugin to your panels or go into the settings manager | 14:46 |
| Saad1 | What if I want to change the settings for all users. Like in Ubuntu 8.04 it could be done by editing xorg.conf. | 14:49 |
| vidd | Saad1, i would imagine you could do it the same as you did it in 8.04 | 14:50 |
| Saad1 | I have tried editing /etc/default/console-setup but it did not help. | 14:50 |
| Saad1 | There is no keyboard section in xorg.conf | 14:50 |
| vidd | so....add it | 14:50 |
| Saad1 | I do not know what to add. Can you help? | 14:50 |
| vidd | if you run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" it will walk you thru it | 14:51 |
| vidd | its the config tool for xorg | 14:52 |
| vidd | and will add the lines you need for you | 14:52 |
| vidd | since i never needed to change my keyboard layout, i dont know exactly what lines should and should not been important | 14:53 |
| vidd | and i dont want to miss something and leave you with a borked system | 14:54 |
| vidd | =] | 14:54 |
| Saad1 | :) Let's try | 14:54 |
| Saad1 | The release notes say: "The X.Org configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) still has InputDevice entries for the mouse and keyboard, but they are ignored now because input-hotplug is used. The keyboard settings now come from /etc/default/console-setup; to change them please use sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup. After that, HAL and X need to be restarted (e.g., by rebooting your system)." | 14:55 |
| vidd | then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" | 14:56 |
| vidd | then reboot your machine | 14:56 |
| Saad1 | How do I restart HAL without rebooting? I am currently using live CD to make sure I am ready to install 8.10 | 14:57 |
| vidd | Saad1, so far as i know....you dont | 14:58 |
| vidd | and when you install, you will be prompted to set the keyboard layout.... | 14:58 |
| vidd | im surprised the live cd didnt prompt you on boot | 14:59 |
| vidd | you can TRY "sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart | 14:59 |
| Saad1 | It prompted on boot but the keyboard layout I want to use is a custom one. | 14:59 |
| Saad1 | I know how to install but currently am not sure how to enable it. | 15:00 |
| Saad1 | OK. I am trying. | 15:00 |
| Saad1 | It worked. Thanks vidd. | 15:04 |
| vidd | np | 15:05 |

| william56 | do i need to do more than copy the directory packages are stored in and run apt-get install (packages) to install downloaded packages from one copy of xubuntu x86 to another? | 17:23 |
| Cowie` | Can someone explain to me why Xubuntu is showing my partitions / mounts on the desktop? And maybe tell me how to get rid of them D: | 17:31 |
| slow-motion | hi | 17:33 |
| Cowie` | Hello | 17:34 |
| slow-motion | hi Cowie` | 17:34 |
| TheSheep | Cowie`: settings->desktop->second tab | 17:35 |
| Cowie` | TheSheep: If I do Settings > Desktop settings > Behaviour | 17:36 |
| Cowie` | Then edit desktop items, the only one to rid of it is the None setting - Which displays nothing then D: | 17:37 |
| Cowie` | Any other ideas TheSheep ? | 17:39 |
| JacobS | Cowie do you have the option checkbox disabled Show icons for mounted devices? | 17:44 |
| Cowie` | Jacob - I get no option for that :\ | 17:45 |
| JacobS | What is your version of Xubuntu | 17:45 |
| Cowie` | Oh wait sorry, all the options aren't ticked JacobS | 17:45 |
| JacobS | Show icons > for removable devices is not here? | 17:48 |
| Cowie` | removable devices is not ticked JacobS | 17:48 |
| JacobS | Do you use a old version of Xubuntu, is this present in 8.10 | 17:49 |
| Cowie` | An only version - So I'll upgrade it all to 8.1 | 17:50 |
| Cowie` | I'll be back if it still persists at showing the files D: | 17:50 |

| craigbass1976 | 192.168.0.3:/home/craig/ /home/craig/remote nfs defaults Any reason why this entry in /etc/fstab won't mount up the drive? It worked before I wiped this laptop (had regular ubuntu on it, now it's clean xub) | 20:38 |
| craigbass1976 | And I can't find in logs where the mounting failed | 20:38 |
| craigbass1976 | On either box | 20:38 |
| Kepler | Is the NFS daemon on? | 20:38 |
| craigbass1976 | Should it be on my laptop? It is on the server. | 20:40 |
| craigbass1976 | I probably didn't even install it, see nothing in /etc/init.d | 20:41 |
| craigbass1976 | This appears to be the case... Installing appropriate packages. Duh... | 20:42 |
| craigbass1976 | And there's my share, ladies and gentlemen. Thanks a bunch. Too bad OpenOffice files still don't work over nfs... | 20:43 |
| Kepler | lol | 20:51 |

| === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale | ||
| forces | linuxlerner, conect what? | 21:49 |
| linuxlerner | i am trying to connect via vnc to my xubuntu machine | 21:50 |
| linuxlerner | hen i start tightvncserver it says the display is xubuntu:1 | 21:51 |
| arualavi | I think that VNC servers are listening on port 5900 | 21:52 |
| arualavi | so you should be able to connect to your vnc server at: xubuntu_ip_adress:5900 | 21:53 |
| linuxlerner | hmm | 21:53 |
| william56 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/94581/ i'm trying to mount a partition on the hard drive that xubuntu is installed on.. any advice? | 21:53 |

| linuxlerner | just says failed to connect | 21:54 |
| linuxlerner | let me look at the tightvnc loge | 21:54 |
| linuxlerner | log file | 21:54 |
| william56 | anyone think mounting that partition using -o force could cause problems? | 21:55 |
| linuxlerner | it was port 5901 | 21:56 |
| * linuxlerner goes to google for configuration | 21:57 | |
| linuxlerner | ok well i can connect via vnc, but i cant do anything | 22:05 |

| asdf- | anyone have any links how to speed up xubuntu? | 22:47 |
| asdf- | everything im finding on google relates to gentoo | 22:47 |
| TheSheep | asdf-: that's one way :) | 22:49 |
| asdf- | yes, but do you know of any tutorials geared for xubuntu/ubuntu? | 22:49 |
| TheSheep | asdf-: actually I think it's the simplest way: use faster distro | 22:49 |
| TheSheep | asdf-: everything that could be done without losing features was already done | 22:50 |
| asdf- | ok, how do i disable features? | 22:51 |
| TheSheep | depends on whic ones you want to disable | 22:52 |
| TheSheep | you can stop the cups daemon if you don't need printing, for example | 22:52 |
| asdf- | yes, i already did that one | 23:01 |
| asdf- | i want to disable dialup too | 23:01 |
| asdf- | the ones that startup are in /etc/init.d/ ? which ones do i must have enabled? | 23:02 |
