[01:02] how do you delete saved sessions? [01:06] Does anyone know if there is a problem with the daily-live iso's on machines with integrated nvidia graphics? [02:44] 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. [02:50] Hello. There someone? [02:51] hey [02:51] juanantonio, you stuck on something? [02:52] Stuck? No, not at all, hehehe. Thing is, I have Kubuntu 8.04 customized to me [02:53] but thing is, it could be faster when I turn on the PC just to download. So I installed LXDE desktop [02:53] and today, I have installed Xubuntu desktop from the official repos, I'm in a Xfce session now [02:54] My question is: have I updated something in the PC or just the environment and not only the desktop as with LXDE? [02:55] I mean kernel, inner version and so on [02:59] Can anyone tell me something about that? [03:12] hi im trying to setup intel 1915 driver for svideo out. i found this page. its an xorg.conf for gnome. can i use it? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=141031&page=3 [03:13] i925* [03:16] ok, bye [04:04] What's this compositing thing then? X Window in 3D? [04:22] saluton [04:29] yup. [04:29] source: saluton to you === jaYVas_707 is now known as baYVas_707 [06:30] I need help with a compatibility issue...any takers?? [06:31] * ball hides behind the sofa [06:32] 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. [06:34] I'm using the laptop right now to talk to you all, but I had to plug in a dongle. [06:35] 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 :) [06:36] ok...well, that definetely does not help me. Anybody have any suggestions? [06:37] Hello People. [06:37] 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. [06:38] 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] the terminal is as easy as typing ;) [06:39] then explain to me step-by-step how to work the following: [06:39] #! /bin/bash [06:39] sudo [06:39] echo [06:39] mkdir /etc/lib/wireless/ [06:39] cd /etc/lib/wireless/ [06:39] apt-get install build-essential [06:39] wget http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-ng-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz [06:39] 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] tar xfz madwifi-ng-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz [06:39] cd madwifi-ng-r3366+ar5007 [06:39] make [06:39] make install [06:39] modprobe ath_pci [06:39] reboot [06:45] so...ThePub , what's your answer?? [06:47] to what? [06:47] here, I'll paste it again... [06:48] no [06:48] then explain to me step-by-step how to work the following: [06:48] you should be using pastebin or some other service [06:48] #! /bin/bash [06:48] sudo [06:48] echo [06:48] mkdir /etc/lib/wireless/ [06:48] cd /etc/lib/wireless/ [06:48] apt-get install build-essential [06:48] wget http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-ng-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz [06:48] tar xfz madwifi-ng-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz [06:48] cd madwifi-ng-r3366+ar5007 [06:48] make [06:48] make install [06:48] modprobe ath_pci [06:48] reboot [06:49] looks like a bash script to issue a set of commands. [06:49] Are you actually trying to help me or what? [06:49] so do you have the ath modules installed? [06:50] what are they? [06:50] if you have a terminal open, you can do this: cat /proc/modules| grep ^ath [06:50] really? [06:51] with the dividing bar connected to the word "modules"? [06:51] or add a space, it doesn't matter. [06:51] 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. [06:52] it didn't do anything. [06:54] could just try directly loadng them to see if they're there. i.e: sudo modprobe ath_pci [06:54] I'm really surprised they're no there though [06:55] after i typed in my password, again, nothing happened. [06:55] that's actually good, try the last command now :) [06:56] result: [06:56] vasman118@vasman118-xubuntu:~$ cat /proc/modules | grep ^ath [06:56] ath_pci 99096 0 - Live 0xf9161000 [06:56] ath_hal 198864 1 ath_pci, Live 0xf961a000 (P) [06:56] vasman118@vasman118-xubuntu:~$ [06:57] 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] ubunutu, xubunutu, whatever.. all the same in the end :) [06:58] dodgybuntu [06:58] baYVas_707: so what you need now is someone to step you through how to get that stuff loading at startup [06:59] ok...ya think there's anyone in this channel with such know-how? [07:00] 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] at least it's more active. have you checked the xubuntu and ubuntu wiki/forumn? [07:01] yeah, but I don't have the patience to wait around for replies :-( [07:01] baYVas_707: out of curiousity, what does the command iwconfig say? [07:02] lemme check... [07:02] that's usually not a compatible character trait for this stuff, heh. [07:04] should have listigns like "lo", maybe some "ethX" enteries, is there an "ath0"? [07:04] 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] vasman118@vasman118-xubuntu:~$ iwconfig [07:04] lo no wireless extensions. [07:04] eth0 no wireless extensions. [07:04] pan0 no wireless extensions. [07:04] wmaster0 no wireless extensions. [07:04] wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"jaYVas~gateway" [07:04] Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:1B:5B:0E:68:29 [07:04] Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=27 dBm [07:04] Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B [07:04] Power Management:off [07:04] Link Quality=100/100 Signal level:38/100 [07:04] Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 [07:04] Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 [07:05] that's good :) so really it's just a matter of getting those modules to load at startup. [07:05] Keep in mind I am currently using my usb dongle to talk to you right now. [07:07] idk how xubuntu does network configuration [07:07] but it may be as easy as adding ath_pci to /etc/modules [07:07] there are instructions in the file on how to use it. [07:08] which file? [07:08] /etc/modules [07:08] oh, ok. [07:09] I would take this as the worst grade advice since I'm just stabbing in the dark :) [07:10] that's alright. I appreciate the help thus far. :0 [08:11] xubuntu newbe - compositing problem. I have a nvidia card, accelerated driver, extensions on etc but when I flip between screens sometimes I seem to see the app redrawing, ie a flash of white with random bit colors just for an instant before the app is redrawn.

[08:11] Googleing I cant find any references to it so I am starting to wonder if its my underpowered nvidia card ? [08:12] a nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] ?

Im running an old ibook g3 600mhz and trying to hook up a wireless Linksys WUSB300N [12:46] it doesnt have an airport card installed [13:12] hi all [13:12] am running xubuntu intrepid on eeepc 900 and each time i susoend resume pc, i have to modprobe the wireless ath5k [13:12] any idea? [13:14] Hello [13:14] Why cant'I play a music CD with totem? [13:16] 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] I don't even know how to start troubleshooting that [13:20] I have 2 entries in /etc/network/interfaces : auto lo, and iface lo inet loopback [13:21] guyiom, peabody TRY: http://www.eeeuser.com/ [13:21] yeah I've gone over the wiki [13:21] there's nothing on it [13:21] Also take care that automated scripts mentioned there mostly work with 701 [13:21] I don't know why mine hates me [13:22] peabody, try forum, also [13:22] I am with 701, I think that modules for it are even included in 8.10. [13:23] also I think there is even precompiled kernel for eee`s but I don`t know about separate 90x and 1000x versions [13:23] Also I think it is always better to use normal updates and to refresh drivers yourself [13:33] yeah, so I want to isntall eeebuntu [13:33] eeexubuntu is an old distro for the original eeepcs and eeebuntu is based on 8.10 [13:34] The forums search sucked but I managed to find references to the other builds on array.org [13:34] which deals with the eee specific kernel [13:42] I use normal xubuntu with drivers installed. I have eee 701 4G [13:43] also one can use eeebuntu with custom kernel and install xfce on it and get the same thing [13:43] but I want to keep disk usage low and I use xubuntu default /Hardy with that script and no custom kernel [15:02] hi I'm trying to set up a remote desktop to windows. Can someone help me? [16:14] 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] ? [16:16] nope sorry [17:10] What do you recommend for a good Linux-friendly printer/scanner? Is HP my best bet? [17:11] I don't need anything too fancy. Just to print black and white and scan papers occasionally. [17:15] I think linux support is pretty good with HP from what I read [17:16] Thought so. Had an Epson that was no bueno. Thanks. [17:18] if you search you can probably get it to work, I managed to find drivers for my canon after some searching [17:26] Yeah, I found a driver, but only to print--no scan. Printer sucked anyways. Used too much ink. [18:12] heu ppl [18:14] join ubuntu [18:37] saluton [18:40] is there any way to find out what my user name was on Xubuntu 8.04? [18:42] Are you logged in? Start a terminal and write whoami [18:46] no, not logged in [18:47] i did the install over two months ago, never touched it, forgot what i put for the user name [18:50] 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. [18:54] can I ask again plese guys afetr 2 hours maybe sokme more peeps here -.... [18:54] 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] well not 10" but like its on a 10" monitor [18:57] checked your display settings? (first place I'd check anyhow) Settings -> Settings Manager -> Display [18:59] yes Ive got default, 800*600 and 640*480 (I presume default = 1024x768) none of them change the size of the actuak " screen" [19:00] if it was windows I'd be loking at the videoi card driver [19:00] no idea wher to start in xubuntu [19:01] (of course, this laptop screen worked pefectly in XP - if bloody slow!) [19:01] so you have a square showing video which is smaller than the actual physical screen? [19:02] yup [19:02] and what type of laptop/vintage are we talking about? [19:03] sony vaio PCG-R600HEk Pentium III, 20GB HD, 12."1 XGA (1024*768) TFT Display [19:03] How do you generate SSH keys? [19:05] 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 [19:06] :-) see he didnt get an answer :-( [19:10] 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 [19:12] I wonder if this might be a good start though: http://www.damia.net/vaio/ [19:12] patching the 915 driver and inserting the appropriate monitor entries [19:14] beyond my capabilities I'm afriad.. [19:14] ah well back to XP [19:14] Ther's always "something" with Linux isn't there? [19:14] I'd argue there's always "something" with proprietary hardware :) [19:15] Windows works [19:15] Thers always a problem with Linux [19:15] some driver or other [19:15] 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 [19:16] sigh! [19:17] 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. [19:19] 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 ?

I'd now like to play with my xubuntu install but I can't cos it keeps recycling back to the login.. after a few mins.. [23:29] something about chron jobs or something.. I'll catch it next time round [23:30] I did a big update previously.. is this anthing to do with it? [23:30] updating and resetting?

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] xorg.conf is for video, not for wireless devices... [23:47] see.. told you i was no expert ;-> [23:47] Your still better then me. [23:48] 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] Jinto: do you know what wireless device you have? try running "lspci" in a terminal. and pastebin the results.. [23:48] !pastebin [23:48] 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) [23:50] can i get to the net from myterminal? [23:50] lufc: yes.

[23:52] kathryn: well, first, do you have any wired internet connection on that machine? [23:52] She did until we had to remove the XP partition completely. [23:53] She's on a ethernet cable right now. [23:53] hi [23:53] Jinto: so kathryn is wired right now and has internet access? [23:53] on that machine [23:53] yes [23:53] good. [23:53] But no wireless [23:53] kathryn: have you tried going to the Applications --> System --> Drivers Manager? [23:54] kathryn: does any wireless drivers appear there? [23:54] 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] i dont see "drivers manager" but i do see "hardware drivers" [23:55] kathryn: yeah. that one... sorry... [23:55] ok! [23:55] hang on [23:55] oh i founde it [23:56] "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" [23:56] alle keyboard option are disabled in xorg.conf with # at first [23:56] that is my bug to xubuntu :) [23:56] kathryn: hmm. ok. can you pastebin the output of "iwconfig" [23:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/99305/ [23:58] brb [23:59] kathryn: looks like you wireless device is already detected... what version of xubuntu is this?
