[00:09] fbc, use a pipe. [00:10] fbc: something like this ls > filename.txt [00:11] Or simply see http://www.linux.com/articles/45679 [00:14] anyone got a min ? [00:15] sure [00:15] !anyone [00:15] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:15] ah [00:15] :-) [00:16] well, i've installed xubuntu onto an ibook, and i'm supposed to edit yaboot.conf and add append="video=ofonly" but i don't have permissions [00:16] another thing [00:17] after i rebooted the machine with linux video=ofonly i dosn't load the top menubar, so can't search for the file [00:18] oh, and this is my first time ever linux experience [00:18] well I'm not a mac-geek but why not trying to edit the file with something like "sudo nano "? [00:18] you need to use sudo/gksu to start an editor that can edit files try gksu mousepad [00:18] You have always a shell available to rearch everything. [00:19] i have the desktop, 4 icons, can't doubleclick any of them, they'll show for 1 sec and go away again [00:19] See http://www.linux.com/articles/45679 for an intor on pipes and build a search term with that. ;-) [00:19] can i do the edit from the yaboot screen? before booting anything. [00:20] not so easy to do it that way. You could boot into run S and mount the volume then access whatever you need. [00:21] charlie-tca: wooots, it's installing [00:21] Modern bootmanagers support edition of the kernel boo line though. [00:21] standarshy: :-) [00:21] Using the alternative install disk totally brings be back to 2004 when I was installing linux distro's for the first time [00:22] *lol* What kinda feeling was that? [00:22] But it works! [00:22] well i'm not a mac geek either, so all the terminal commands is a little over my head [00:23] btw i installed xubuntu as the only system on the machine [00:23] hm... I think that is a problem, fuskern. [00:24] It does work, and as primitive as it looks, it's kinda better. It's precise and right to the point, you know? [00:24] well didn't really need it, so just deleted it. [00:25] Try this, fuskern: http://www.google.com/search?hl=de&client=opera&rls=de&hs=xCf&q=%2Bedit+%22yaboot.conf%22+%2Bxubuntu+%2Bmac&btnG=Suche&lr= [00:26] okay [00:29] :-) [00:29] is there a shortcut to terminal if the top menubar isn't available ? [00:30] press alt-f2 and type xfce4-terminal or xterm [00:31] cool, i'll give that a try. [00:32] the weird thing tho, first time i booted it up with Linux video=ofonly, everything was running fine, just didn't know how to edit yaboot, and now that i think i know, it dosn't work [00:35] what does sudo ybin do ? [00:36] it runs the command ybin with root privileges... no idea what ybin does though [00:36] okay [00:40] well, that didn't work, i'll get loading, and then the screen goes white, and fades to black [00:43] What exactly did you do? [00:46] i ran alt+f2 typed xterm, then gksudo mousepad /etc/yaboot.conf then added line append="video=ofonly" then saved and typed sudo ybin and rebooted [00:47] no idear what that means, but it sounded fine in my ears. :) === Aquina is now known as Aquina_ === Aquina_ is now known as Aquina [00:53] whats the default super user password? [00:53] by default there is no password, the account is not active [00:53] Jan|, use sudo and type YOUR OWN password. :-) [00:53] if you need super-user privileges use sudo/gksu [00:55] fuskern, so you could edit the file - great. Problem is I don't have a clue about yaboot.conf since it does seem to be an alternative thing I don't have on my System. It must be a different bootloader. I'll look it up. [00:55] Aquina: it is a ppc bootloader [00:56] Yeah. A bootloader I have no clue about it. Whis it was grub. [00:56] :-) [00:57] thanks Aquina [00:58] you might trying asking on #ubuntu-ppc [00:58] Ah I see it's a kernel parm as I thought... [00:59] And I further guess it affects your X11 start so you dont see the bootsplash and login screen, right? [01:00] Ok everyone listen so some music meanwhile :-) http://relay.slayradio.org:8000/relay.slayradio.org:8000 [01:01] if i do normal boot ? [01:01] yes [01:01] aehm no [01:01] then it get to loading, screen turns white and then fades to black [01:01] A ormal boot works except the gui has no bar right? [01:02] i did Linux video=ofonly and there is no menubar, neither the buttom one [01:03] Well... this seems to be an X problem to me not a bootloader specific one. [01:04] Can't you execure "xfce-panel" somewhere? [01:04] open a shell and enter it to see if it worxx [01:04] through alt+f2 ? [01:04] yeah [01:04] fuskern: it would be better to start xterm, and then run it. so when/if it crashes you'll see an error message [01:05] oh yes [01:05] He's right!! [01:05] i've got xterm open [01:05] ok enter "xfce-panel" without the quotations [01:05] can't write xfce-panel command not found [01:05] try xfce4-panel [01:05] 2 n? [01:05] ah yeah [01:06] booya [01:06] always the 4 [01:06] :-))))) [01:06] worked [01:06] Awesome! [01:06] yeah [01:06] :-) [01:06] my icons on the desktop disappeared tho [01:06] I had that problem months ago on a system but forgot about it in the meantime. What!? [01:06] try running 'xfdesktop' [01:07] No icons? Then try to logout (session end) + SAVE SESSION! [01:07] Then login again and see if it works [01:07] ah it says alsa: mixer attach default error no such file or directory, did it 4 times, guess that's my 4 icons [01:07] (savn' the session will also make sure xfce4panel will be ok next time) [01:08] oh [01:08] xfdesktop did nothing [01:09] But other icons work like trash or creating new ones? Are the panels still there after new login? does the Applications-menu work properly? [01:10] how do i save ? is that the "sudo ybin" [01:10] There's an instance of xfdesktop that maybe why. You can refresh the desktop after adding stuff via F5 [01:10] save what? [01:10] no there is no icons on the desktop [01:10] oh sure... [01:10] Applications-->Settings-->Xfce4Settings [01:11] Then configure the desktop behaviour. GNU/Linux+Xfce4 is not like windoze .-) [01:11] zoredache , Aquina said save the session [01:11] hehe [01:11] when you log out, there is a check box to save or not to save [01:12] yes :-) [01:12] ah [01:12] that one [01:14] 1) Is there now for .e.g. a trash icon? 2)Are the panels still there after re-login? 3) Does the Applications-menu work properly? [01:17] tryed a normal boot, didn't work, booting with video=ofonly again [01:20] 1) no actualy icons on the desktop, but trash is also in the buttom panel, "failed to connect to trash" 2)panel is still there 3)appleication menu seems to work [01:23] hmm, so xubuntu is really slow with only 128 mbs ram [01:23] I'm having trouble enabling certain compiz effects, mainly the Scale effect. Enable is checked but it doesn't work. How to fix? [01:24] Is the the very first boot of xubuntu slower than the others? or is it always the same? [01:26] standarshy then try without Xfce *rofl* [01:27] !lowmem [01:27] For installing on low memory systems, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements. [01:28] standarshy I regularlsy have a 35 sec. boot (based on bootchart) but sometimes it takes ~60 about once a month. [01:29] standarshy: the system resquirements of xubuntu is basically 192mb. You can run in less, but it will take some work removing things, and it still won't be great [01:29] fuskern so try a bot of google/metager/cuil research about the icon issue. ;-) [01:29] I just logged on to xubuntu and it is taking forever to load. [01:29] Good luck! [01:30] Well it tries to optimize data in RAM. [01:30] toredache why do you try it with 128Mib [01:30] That link says minimum requrements with 32 mb [01:30] I currently have 128 in [01:31] In case you run an old box but wanna have a GUI try either fluxbox or maybe an alternative distro like slitaz [01:31] 32 for Xfce? [01:31] standarshy: you need to read a bit closer. scroll down to the 'xubuntu' section. [01:32] you can boot the linux kernel in 32, and some very basic functions, but can run a current desktop enviroment with the bells and whistles [01:33] hmm [01:33] I see [01:34] I just found this computer, lol. So I was just looking for an easy way to get it to run decently. It was pretty slow with xp [01:34] I was hoping xubuntu would be ok [01:35] hm... It can work with 128 though. [01:36] ram is pretty cheap... if you go dumpster diving you could probably even find some free [01:36] Yea, this is true. Although, I was hoping to resolve this more quickly. [01:38] I think https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems already provides you a good portion of "quick" things you can do. [01:38] I might be able to tolerate it the way it is now === FlareFlare is now known as Flare183 [03:48] thanks Aquina [03:49] [19:53:47] Jan|, use sudo and type YOUR OWN password. :-) [03:52] no problem. ;-) [04:02] is there a set of xfce 4.6 packages built for intrepid? [05:19] !nixternal [05:19] Oh no! The pointy-clicky Windows7 lover has arrived! He's rumoured to be giving out free money, and help on the MIRC client too! I LOVE MIRC!!! [05:36] I want to try out XFCE... I was going to install the xubuntu-desktop package but it says it's v2.75... but XFCE is up to v4.6 now... [05:37] how come the version 3 still hasn't made it to official xubuntu release? [05:40] i have a baracuda sound card from razer and i cannot figure out how to get it running [05:40] XPS_M1330: Try PC/OS, it's using XFCE 4. [05:42] I don't want to install another distro... I'll install the xfce4 metapackage see how it goes [05:45] 30MB download, that's funny! compared to 1GB KDE === rocko is now known as gnuguy === gnuguy is now known as rocko === rubix is now known as Guest98985 === Guest98985 is now known as magic_ninja1 [08:46] is there a way to show the linux startup messages instead of the splash screen? [08:46] remove 'quiet' from the boot options [08:47] and 'splash' if you want text mode [08:47] cool thx [08:47] <_Pete_> Hello, I have locale problem: I used to have iso8859-15 as locale and now tried switch it to utf8 but without luck so far [08:47] you can do it one-time by pressing 'e' in grub, or permanently by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst [08:48] _Pete_: system->language support [08:48] <_Pete_> I changed /etc/environment back which it was orignally [08:49] <_Pete_> TheSheep: ok right, locale is utf8 if I ssh to machine but not in the X [08:50] _Pete_: you can choose locale in login screen [08:50] _Pete_: and it will remember that [08:50] <_Pete_> ok.. didn't notice that :) [09:00] is Listen broken in xubuntu? [09:04] i think i'm blind... is there a GUI somewhere to configure networking? i didn't change anything -- ethernet wasn't connected during installation, though -- but it doesn't seem to get the ip through dhcp [09:04] or if you can point me to the config file i'm fine as well :) [09:05] eldenz: right-click on the network icon next to the clock [09:06] i *am* blind, thank you [09:12] is there a way to get log/debug output from this process [09:13] it attempts to do something then says disconnected... does it run dhclient? [09:14] right. looks like i'm not getting any dhcpoffers... on the same ethernet cable and my laptop (winxp) i get them, though [09:14] eldenz: yes, I suppose it's all in /var/log somewhere [09:14] eldenz: you can run dhclient by hand, I think [09:14] with debug options [09:14] i just did and it fails after some time with 'No DHCPOFFERS received.' [09:15] eldenz: well, see the logs on your dhcp server, I guess [09:16] it's not mine :) from my school.. mh [10:23] and how do i get into the Networkmanager if the icon is no longer there in the tray? [10:26] aye, nm-connection-editor [11:15] how do you manipulate gdm to make Xfce Session default instead of Gnome Session for a new user? [11:18] <_Pete_> gdm should automatically remmeber last session choosen [11:22] for a new user there is no last session [12:02] hi everybody [12:05] what's the preferred way to set up xinerama? [12:05] is there some gui that i should use or is xorg.conf fine? [12:20] Is there a CD boot param that will give me the old text-mode installer? [12:21] balor: no, you'll need to use the alternate cd [12:21] pleia2: thanks [13:49] my external monitor goes black for no apparent reason. need help troubleshooting. thanks a lot. [13:49] try opening the laptop lid [13:51] tried that. black also until i restart x.org with ctrl+alt+backspace. then laptop screen fine, but external monitor still black. [13:52] the login screen comes up fine, but when i log in it goes black (the light on the monitor is green so i don't think it's on standby or anything) [14:18] hello, need help please, xubuntu 8.10 and applet network manager 0.7.0 not working [14:19] I can't use it to change the eth0 settings (ip, mask, gateway) [14:19] and if I change them via command line, the changes are not displayed in the applet (the applet still shows the old values) [14:21] if I try to change the eth0 properties from the applet, it says "connection update not supported - read only" [14:21] then I suppose there is another GUI in xubuntu to change the ethernet properties... where? [14:22] and in all cases, why doesn't the applet reflect the changes I make via command line? [14:35] Got any ps3 users here? I need to know if you have to install 'ps3-utils' after Xubuntu installed? [14:40] hello, anyone to help me please? can't change network address [15:09] how do I change gslideshow settings? [15:44] hello-.-.-please help urgent [15:44] network manager applet not working---tried to remove it---the icon is still in the taskbar and complains network manager not running [15:44] help thanks [15:46] nobody here??? [15:48] MaxFrames: maybe try #ubuntu, it will be almost the same [15:49] hello, how do i change the name of the home icon on the desktop to my username? [15:55] it's confusing the blazes out of my old man, who doesn't understand why it says his username when he opens up "home" [15:55] dmizer, does the rename utility from terminal work? (just guessing here) [15:56] so there *is* someone [15:56] this network manager is driving me nuts [15:56] brandonban6: i am unsure how to use rename from the cli on a folder that doesn't actually exist. [15:57] dmizer: it is not the same to Xubuntu. Home is different than home. Home designates it as his. [15:57] Note the capital "H" [15:57] hi charlie-tca [15:57] charlie-tca: yes, i understand this. my father does not. [15:58] charlie-tca: i just want the "Home" icon link on the desktop to say his username instead of "Home" [15:58] Explain that "home" is all users, "Home" is just for him [15:58] let's try with an easier approach: can you suggest an alternative to the default network manager applet, to get a network icon on the taskbar? [15:59] MaxFrames: you could remove Network Manager and use wicd [15:59] charlie-tca: sorry, that's just not going to work. [15:59] wicd, OK [15:59] hello, brandonban6 [15:59] does that work for cabled connections as well? [15:59] not to my knowledge [15:59] wicd is wirelesscd [16:00] charlie-tca: while that may seem like a reasonable solution to you, your memory is fine, and you can make the connection between "Home" and "username", my father constantly forgets and gets confused and angry. [16:00] I have no wireless connection. I have a wired connection for which I'd like to have an icon on the taskbar [16:01] the network manager comes with an icon, but is full of bugs and I have had to remove it and replaced it with Ubuntu's standard "Network" module [16:01] but it has no icon [16:03] brandonban6: can you explain in more detail what you meant earlier about the rename utility? [16:04] MaxFrames: if you just want an icon that shows network activity, just right click on the system tray, click "add item" and select "Network Monitor" [16:05] MaxFrames: that will not (as far as i remember) give you the ability to manipulate the network settings though. [16:05] dmizer, I don't know that would work either...I'm at work now, and not next to my xubuntu box to try it out. What you can do is long list your dad's desktop (ls -l /home/username/Desktop/) and see if the home file show up........if so you can use rename oldname newname to change the name. [16:06] dmizer, if the file does not show up, this means it is mounted, you need to find the "mount point" possibly in fstab or there is another location I forget off the top of my head. [16:07] brandonban6 it doesn't show up from the CLI with ls -a [16:07] dmizer: never mind, I'll use other methods to change settings, I just need an icon [16:07] MaxFrames: then all you need to do is open synaptic, search for networkmanager and uninstall it. [16:08] brandonban6: it's also not mounted. this is something that's created by thunar. [16:13] dmizer, perhaps you can remove the home icon all together from the the desktop settings menu, and create a short link to your dad's home folder naming it whatever you want to. [16:13] brandonban6: that may be a viable solution. [16:18] brandonban6: thank you for your suggestion, that's going to work perfectly. [16:19] brandonban6: not sure why i didn't think of that myself ... heh. [16:19] no problemo :) [16:20] brandonban6: my poor dad, he gets easily confused ... sometimes to the point where it makes me confused. [16:20] sheesh. [16:20] ttyl [16:21] thanks again. [16:34] brandonban6: when you dmizer again, offer this suggestion, if I don't remember to [16:35] turn off the Home icon, create a shortcut direct to the user name [16:42] charlie-tca, already did :) dmizer, perhaps you can remove the home icon all together from the the desktop settings menu, and create a short link to your dad's home folder naming it whatever you want to. [16:42] * zoredache has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) [16:42] brandonban6: that may be a viable solution. [16:42] brandonban6: thank you for your suggestion, that's going to work perfectly. [16:44] so, I might be a little behind?
