| craigbass1976 | Perhaps this isxfce, maybe OOo... Why are my menu fonts so large in OOo? They weren't in regular ubuntu, and I can't see where to change it. | 02:44 |
| juanantonio | Hello. There someone? | 02:50 |
| craigbass1976 | hey | 02:51 |
| craigbass1976 | juanantonio, you stuck on something? | 02:51 |
| juanantonio | Stuck? No, not at all, hehehe. Thing is, I have Kubuntu 8.04 customized to me | 02:52 |
| juanantonio | but thing is, it could be faster when I turn on the PC just to download. So I installed LXDE desktop | 02:53 |
| juanantonio | and today, I have installed Xubuntu desktop from the official repos, I'm in a Xfce session now | 02:53 |
| juanantonio | My question is: have I updated something in the PC or just the environment and not only the desktop as with LXDE? | 02:54 |
| juanantonio | I mean kernel, inner version and so on | 02:55 |
| juanantonio | Can anyone tell me something about that? | 02:59 |

| === jaYVas_707 is now known as baYVas_707 | ||
| baYVas_707 | I need help with a compatibility issue...any takers?? | 06:30 |
| * ball hides behind the sofa | 06:31 | |
| baYVas_707 | I have a Toshiba Satellite L305-S5899 with an Atheros internal wireless adapter and xubuntu doesn't seem to recognize it. | 06:32 |
| * baYVas_707 wants to point out that it is indeed a laptop. | 06:32 | |
| baYVas_707 | I'm using the laptop right now to talk to you all, but I had to plug in a dongle. | 06:34 |
| ThePub | interesting, idk how xubuntu tracks to ubuntu proper but I just did an 8.04 install and upgrade to 8.10 with my atheros-based card working out-of-box. not that this is much help, I really wouldn't know where to begin tbh :) | 06:35 |
| baYVas_707 | ok...well, that definetely does not help me. Anybody have any suggestions? | 06:36 |
| xubuser | Hello People. | 06:37 |
| baYVas_707 | I'm looking at a web page right now that tells me how to fix it, but I'm not that familiar with the terminal. | 06:37 |
| xubuser | got an S-video issue. Does anybody have any experience? How do I enable the output. I am using xrandr -q and it shows S-video, VGA-0 and DVI-0 as disconnected. I have connected the cable. | 06:38 |
| ThePub | the terminal is as easy as typing ;) | 06:38 |
| baYVas_707 | then explain to me step-by-step how to work the following: | 06:39 |
| baYVas_707 | #! /bin/bash | 06:39 |
| baYVas_707 | sudo | 06:39 |
| baYVas_707 | echo | 06:39 |
| baYVas_707 | mkdir /etc/lib/wireless/ | 06:39 |
| baYVas_707 | cd /etc/lib/wireless/ | 06:39 |
| baYVas_707 | apt-get install build-essential | 06:39 |
| baYVas_707 | wget http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-ng-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz | 06:39 |
| xubuser | how do I enable the the s-video to the TV? I am not having any success. Booting off of the Ubuntu CD worked just fine. But my xubuntu installation didn't allow me to do xrandr --output VGA-0 | 06:39 |
| baYVas_707 | tar xfz madwifi-ng-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz | 06:39 |
| baYVas_707 | cd madwifi-ng-r3366+ar5007 | 06:39 |
| baYVas_707 | make | 06:39 |
| baYVas_707 | make install | 06:39 |
| baYVas_707 | modprobe ath_pci | 06:39 |
| baYVas_707 | reboot | 06:39 |
| baYVas_707 | so...ThePub , what's your answer?? | 06:45 |
| ThePub | to what? | 06:47 |
| baYVas_707 | here, I'll paste it again... | 06:47 |
| ThePub | no | 06:48 |
| baYVas_707 | then explain to me step-by-step how to work the following: | 06:48 |
| ThePub | you should be using pastebin or some other service | 06:48 |
| baYVas_707 | #! /bin/bash | 06:48 |
| baYVas_707 | sudo | 06:48 |
| baYVas_707 | echo | 06:48 |
| baYVas_707 | mkdir /etc/lib/wireless/ | 06:48 |
| baYVas_707 | cd /etc/lib/wireless/ | 06:48 |
| baYVas_707 | apt-get install build-essential | 06:48 |
| baYVas_707 | wget http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-ng-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz | 06:48 |
| baYVas_707 | tar xfz madwifi-ng-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz | 06:48 |
| baYVas_707 | cd madwifi-ng-r3366+ar5007 | 06:48 |
| baYVas_707 | make | 06:48 |
| baYVas_707 | make install | 06:48 |
| baYVas_707 | modprobe ath_pci | 06:48 |
| baYVas_707 | reboot | 06:48 |
| ThePub | looks like a bash script to issue a set of commands. | 06:49 |
| baYVas_707 | Are you actually trying to help me or what? | 06:49 |
| ThePub | so do you have the ath modules installed? | 06:49 |
| baYVas_707 | what are they? | 06:50 |
| ThePub | if you have a terminal open, you can do this: cat /proc/modules| grep ^ath | 06:50 |
| baYVas_707 | really? | 06:50 |
| baYVas_707 | with the dividing bar connected to the word "modules"? | 06:51 |
| ThePub | or add a space, it doesn't matter. | 06:51 |
| ThePub | and it's referred to as a pipe, just for future reference. we're taking the information spewed from cat and filtering it through grep. | 06:51 |
| baYVas_707 | it didn't do anything. | 06:52 |
| ThePub | could just try directly loadng them to see if they're there. i.e: sudo modprobe ath_pci | 06:54 |
| ThePub | I'm really surprised they're no there though | 06:54 |
| baYVas_707 | after i typed in my password, again, nothing happened. | 06:55 |
| ThePub | that's actually good, try the last command now :) | 06:55 |
| baYVas_707 | result: | 06:56 |
| baYVas_707 | vasman118@vasman118-xubuntu:~$ cat /proc/modules | grep ^ath | 06:56 |
| baYVas_707 | ath_pci 99096 0 - Live 0xf9161000 | 06:56 |
| baYVas_707 | ath_hal 198864 1 ath_pci, Live 0xf961a000 (P) | 06:56 |
| baYVas_707 | vasman118@vasman118-xubuntu:~$ | 06:56 |
| ThePub | so the modules are there, they're just not automatically loading. iirc, ath_pci is the main driver to run atheros using the madwifi driver. although I'll be honest, it's been over 2 years since I've tinkered with that stuff, and it wasn't even on a debian machine. | 06:57 |
| ThePub | ubunutu, xubunutu, whatever.. all the same in the end :) | 06:57 |
| ball | dodgybuntu | 06:58 |
| ThePub | baYVas_707: so what you need now is someone to step you through how to get that stuff loading at startup | 06:58 |
| baYVas_707 | ok...ya think there's anyone in this channel with such know-how? | 06:59 |
| ThePub | I wouldn't know :) Joined not too long before you to just hang out and see what got chatted about. May have a better chance in #ubuntu. | 07:00 |
| ThePub | at least it's more active. have you checked the xubuntu and ubuntu wiki/forumn? | 07:00 |
| baYVas_707 | yeah, but I don't have the patience to wait around for replies :-( | 07:01 |
| ThePub | baYVas_707: out of curiousity, what does the command iwconfig say? | 07:01 |
| baYVas_707 | lemme check... | 07:02 |
| ThePub | that's usually not a compatible character trait for this stuff, heh. | 07:02 |
| ThePub | should have listigns like "lo", maybe some "ethX" enteries, is there an "ath0"? | 07:04 |
| baYVas_707 | I know, I'm getting more and more patient these days though...I'll be on the right level for it soon enough. Eh, ok here's what the result of iwconfig was: | 07:04 |
| baYVas_707 | vasman118@vasman118-xubuntu:~$ iwconfig | 07:04 |
| baYVas_707 | lo no wireless extensions. | 07:04 |
| baYVas_707 | eth0 no wireless extensions. | 07:04 |

| baYVas_707 | Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 | 07:04 |
| ThePub | that's good :) so really it's just a matter of getting those modules to load at startup. | 07:05 |
| baYVas_707 | Keep in mind I am currently using my usb dongle to talk to you right now. | 07:05 |
| ThePub | idk how xubuntu does network configuration | 07:07 |
| ThePub | but it may be as easy as adding ath_pci to /etc/modules | 07:07 |
| ThePub | there are instructions in the file on how to use it. | 07:07 |
| baYVas_707 | which file? | 07:08 |
| ThePub | /etc/modules | 07:08 |
| baYVas_707 | oh, ok. | 07:08 |
| ThePub | I would take this as the worst grade advice since I'm just stabbing in the dark :) | 07:09 |
| baYVas_707 | that's alright. I appreciate the help thus far. :0 | 07:10 |

| juanantonio | Hello | 13:14 |
| juanantonio | Why cant'I play a music CD with totem? | 13:14 |
| peabody | I've just installed eeexubuntu on my eee pc 1000 netbook, and after the default install, I have no network adapters listed under ifconfig | 13:16 |
| peabody | I don't even know how to start troubleshooting that | 13:16 |
| peabody | I have 2 entries in /etc/network/interfaces : auto lo, and iface lo inet loopback | 13:20 |
| nikolam | guyiom, peabody TRY: http://www.eeeuser.com/ | 13:21 |
| peabody | yeah I've gone over the wiki | 13:21 |
| peabody | there's nothing on it | 13:21 |
| nikolam | Also take care that automated scripts mentioned there mostly work with 701 | 13:21 |
| peabody | I don't know why mine hates me | 13:21 |
| nikolam | peabody, try forum, also | 13:22 |
| nikolam | I am with 701, I think that modules for it are even included in 8.10. | 13:22 |
| nikolam | also I think there is even precompiled kernel for eee`s but I don`t know about separate 90x and 1000x versions | 13:23 |
| nikolam | Also I think it is always better to use normal updates and to refresh drivers yourself | 13:23 |
| peabody | yeah, so I want to isntall eeebuntu | 13:33 |
| peabody | eeexubuntu is an old distro for the original eeepcs and eeebuntu is based on 8.10 | 13:33 |
| peabody | The forums search sucked but I managed to find references to the other builds on array.org | 13:34 |
| peabody | which deals with the eee specific kernel | 13:34 |
| nikolam | I use normal xubuntu with drivers installed. I have eee 701 4G | 13:42 |
| nikolam | also one can use eeebuntu with custom kernel and install xfce on it and get the same thing | 13:43 |
| nikolam | but I want to keep disk usage low and I use xubuntu default /Hardy with that script and no custom kernel | 13:43 |
| Seomah | hi I'm trying to set up a remote desktop to windows. Can someone help me? | 15:02 |
| lufc | hi Ive just installed 8.04.1 alternate on an old Sony Laptop and the dsktop is like a 10" square in the middle of the screen. ANy idea how I get it bigger fullsize | 16:14 |
| lufc | ? | 16:14 |
| sinbox | nope sorry | 16:16 |
| likemindead | What do you recommend for a good Linux-friendly printer/scanner? Is HP my best bet? | 17:10 |
| likemindead | I don't need anything too fancy. Just to print black and white and scan papers occasionally. | 17:11 |
| sinbox | I think linux support is pretty good with HP from what I read | 17:15 |
| likemindead | Thought so. Had an Epson that was no bueno. Thanks. | 17:16 |
| sinbox | if you search you can probably get it to work, I managed to find drivers for my canon after some searching | 17:18 |
| likemindead | Yeah, I found a driver, but only to print--no scan. Printer sucked anyways. Used too much ink. | 17:26 |

| ThePub | is it possible to group the tasklist together w/o stacking the tasks? i.e. if a new xterm is opened it will be appended to the xterm area but not as a stack. | 18:50 |
| lufc | can I ask again plese guys afetr 2 hours maybe sokme more peeps here -.... | 18:54 |
| lufc | hi Ive just installed 8.04.1 alternate on an old Sony Laptop and the dsktop is like a 10" square in the middle of the screen. ANy idea how I get it bigger fullsize | 18:54 |
| lufc | well not 10" but like its on a 10" monitor | 18:54 |
| ThePub | checked your display settings? (first place I'd check anyhow) Settings -> Settings Manager -> Display | 18:57 |
| lufc | yes Ive got default, 800*600 and 640*480 (I presume default = 1024x768) none of them change the size of the actuak " screen" | 18:59 |
| lufc | if it was windows I'd be loking at the videoi card driver | 19:00 |
| lufc | no idea wher to start in xubuntu | 19:00 |
| lufc | (of course, this laptop screen worked pefectly in XP - if bloody slow!) | 19:01 |
| ThePub | so you have a square showing video which is smaller than the actual physical screen? | 19:01 |
| lufc | yup | 19:02 |
| ThePub | and what type of laptop/vintage are we talking about? | 19:02 |
| lufc | sony vaio PCG-R600HEk Pentium III, 20GB HD, 12."1 XGA (1024*768) TFT Display | 19:03 |
| theking | How do you generate SSH keys? | 19:03 |
| ThePub | lufc: apparently similar issues can happen in XP :) http://www.techsupportforum.com/microsoft-support/windows-xp-support/270612-sony-vaio-display-not-fullscreen-after-xp-install.html | 19:05 |
| lufc | :-) see he didnt get an answer :-( | 19:06 |
| ThePub | I won't have an answer for you, but here's an educated guess: a) driver incompatibilities as you've already indicated; you're going to have to check to see if the xorg driver being used supports what you're running. /etc/X11/xorg.conf has that information in the "Device" section, should be a Driver line. b) default install is probably using xrandr and it's not detecing the full capabilities of the screen, so you'll probaby have to enter tha | 19:10 |
| ThePub | I wonder if this might be a good start though: http://www.damia.net/vaio/ | 19:12 |
| ThePub | patching the 915 driver and inserting the appropriate monitor entries | 19:12 |
| lufc | beyond my capabilities I'm afriad.. | 19:14 |
| lufc | ah well back to XP | 19:14 |
| lufc | Ther's always "something" with Linux isn't there? | 19:14 |
| ThePub | I'd argue there's always "something" with proprietary hardware :) | 19:14 |
| lufc | Windows works | 19:15 |
| lufc | Thers always a problem with Linux | 19:15 |
| lufc | some driver or other | 19:15 |
| lufc | Hey I'm no Win fan boy bu if it doesn't work out of the box.. I aint got the time or patinece to start compiling code | 19:15 |
| lufc | sigh! | 19:16 |
| ThePub | windows vs linux on my eee is quite significant. there's a huge on-disk size divide. it's worth the extra effort imo, but that's just my own opinion. Windows works, but it works its way. | 19:17 |
| lufc | ok-.. when I installed this There were lost of option s about the monitor.. I picked the nearest .. how do i get back to that insrtall optionj on the CD about monitor type ? | 19:19 |

| lufc | OK here they are in more complete form after the latest loop: | 23:38 |

| lufc | Starting defferede exec scheduler crono [OK] | 23:39 |
| lufc | Starting periodic command scheduler [OK] | 23:39 |
| lufc | Checking Battery State [OK] | 23:39 |
| lufc | Running Local boot scripts [OK] | 23:39 |
| lufc | then it cycles back to the login screen again .. and again... Groundhog Nix | 23:40 |
| lufc | I need an intervention , man! Help me break this cycle! :-) | 23:40 |
| lufc | looks like its an old bug: http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg449074.html | 23:43 |
| lufc | Jinto.. I'm no expert man but from what I've gatherd.. find the info you need an install it manually into /etc/X11/xorg.conf (sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf) | 23:45 |
| Odd-rationale | xorg.conf is for video, not for wireless devices... | 23:45 |
| lufc | see.. told you i was no expert ;-> | 23:47 |
| Jinto | Your still better then me. | 23:47 |
| Odd-rationale | lufc: i'm guessing xorg is crashing for you.. that may be why you are constantly returning to the login screen... maybe check you /var/log/Xorg.0.log ... | 23:48 |
| Odd-rationale | Jinto: do you know what wireless device you have? try running "lspci" in a terminal. and pastebin the results.. | 23:48 |
| Odd-rationale | !pastebin | 23:48 |
| 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) | 23:48 |
| lufc | can i get to the net from myterminal? | 23:50 |
| Odd-rationale | lufc: yes. | 23:50 |
| kathryn | odd-rationale: http://paste.ubuntu.com/99295/ | 23:51 |
| Jinto | Me and Katryn are working on her laptop. | 23:51 |
| Jinto | Kathryn* | 23:51 |
| Odd-rationale | kathryn: ah... a broadcom... not so nice... :( | 23:51 |
| lufc | so to paste this log? | 23:51 |
| kathryn | figures... | 23:52 |
| Odd-rationale | kathryn: well, first, do you have any wired internet connection on that machine? | 23:52 |
| Jinto | She did until we had to remove the XP partition completely. | 23:52 |
| Jinto | She's on a ethernet cable right now. | 23:53 |
| S-i-A | hi | 23:53 |
| Odd-rationale | Jinto: so kathryn is wired right now and has internet access? | 23:53 |
| Odd-rationale | on that machine | 23:53 |
| kathryn | yes | 23:53 |
| Odd-rationale | good. | 23:53 |
| Jinto | But no wireless | 23:53 |
| Odd-rationale | kathryn: have you tried going to the Applications --> System --> Drivers Manager? | 23:53 |
| Odd-rationale | kathryn: does any wireless drivers appear there? | 23:54 |
| S-i-A | after upgrade to 8.10 the xkbption to change keyboard layout worked no more, and the xfce4-xkb-plugin dispaly just one keyboard layout. any idea how can i fix that? | 23:54 |
| kathryn | i dont see "drivers manager" but i do see "hardware drivers" | 23:54 |
| Odd-rationale | kathryn: yeah. that one... sorry... | 23:55 |
| kathryn | ok! | 23:55 |
| kathryn | hang on | 23:55 |
| S-i-A | oh i founde it | 23:55 |
| kathryn | "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" | 23:56 |
| S-i-A | alle keyboard option are disabled in xorg.conf with # at first | 23:56 |
| S-i-A | that is my bug to xubuntu :) | 23:56 |
| Odd-rationale | kathryn: hmm. ok. can you pastebin the output of "iwconfig" | 23:56 |
| kathryn | http://paste.ubuntu.com/99305/ | 23:57 |
