| Domovoi | I'm resizing my windows partition but the only thing I want to keep is My Documents. If I just delete everything else will that cause problems? | 00:36 |
| Domovoi | thanks in advance if anyone knows | 00:38 |
| charlie-tca | It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. As far as Xubuntu, it doesn't care if there is a windows partition. | 00:39 |
| charlie-tca | Unless you installed using Wubi | 00:39 |
| charlie-tca | As far as Windows, to the best of my memory from 10 years ago, it won't run if you delete it | 00:40 |
| charlie-tca | I copied my files from windows to a cd, then copied them into ~/home, and haven't cared since | 00:41 |
| Domovoi | What I'm trying to do is resize my very large windows partition and the only thing I want to keep on there is My Documents. it doesn't need to boot. | 00:41 |
| charlie-tca | and Xubuntu is a separate installation, right? Should work fine | 00:42 |
| Domovoi | Thanks. After this I can finally get windows off of here :) | 00:43 |
| charlie-tca | you are not sharing files, so you should be able to read them from Xubuntu with out any problems | 00:43 |
| Domovoi | That's what I was thinking but it's always best to double check. | 00:44 |

| n2diy | can I make a DOS boot disk with Ubuntu? | 02:17 |
| genii | Yes | 02:18 |
| genii | Get an image from bootdisk.com that is not a zip/install file. Then use dd to make the floppy from the image | 02:19 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Is there a menu-editor in the default live-CD that I can use to access the Application menu contents and review them? | 04:45 |
| IntuitiveNipple | 2ndly... I'm seeing some window-decoration corruption for Terminal. I suspect it is to do with a previous (lower) screen resolution, but can't find where xfce4-terminal is storing its settings | 04:48 |

| frette | I use the minimize windows to desktop option on, it works nice, but I need the icons to appear on all workspaces, not just one. How do I do that? | 08:29 |
| frette | did that not make sense to someone or does noone know? :D | 08:33 |
| Myrtti | use windowlist applet? | 08:35 |
| frette | that would be possible i guess, but it takes away precious space | 08:36 |
| frette | plus i really like the minimize to desktop feature and I guess there's just one simple option missing | 08:37 |
| frette | k, another approach: where is the file where settings of xfce settings manager -> Desktop get saved? | 08:43 |
| _Pete_ | hello | 10:28 |
| _Pete_ | how do I use XFCE-desktop with freenx? | 10:28 |
| TheSheep | !freenx | _Pete_ | 10:36 |
| ubottu | _Pete_: FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 10:36 |
| _Pete_ | TheSheep: yes thanks but I have it already setup but dont know how to use xfce with that, on configure dialog there's dropdown menu which desktop to use: kde/gnome/cde/xdm/custom | 10:38 |
| _Pete_ | but not xfce | 10:38 |
| TheSheep | then use custom | 10:41 |
| TheSheep | and put startxfce4 there | 10:41 |
| _Pete_ | thanks, that was it | 10:44 |
| brandonban6 | good morning folks | 13:31 |
| jayant412 | Hi.. I installed Xubuntu 8.10.. But its really really slow.. can anyone help me out? | 13:41 |
| _Pete_ | what are your computers specs? | 13:43 |
| jayant412 | 1.5 Ghz Celeron M, 256 MB RAM, 40GB HDD.. | 13:44 |
| jayant412 | I couldn't install xubuntu from the live cd... it kept hangin up....so I used the alternate CD.. but its really really slow.. | 13:45 |
| TheSheep | jayant412: windows display slowly? | 13:45 |
| jayant412 | yeah.. and installing packages takes a very long time.... | 13:45 |
| TheSheep | jayant412: what graphics card do ou have? | 13:46 |
| jayant412 | and How do I direct msgs to a purticular user?.. This is my first time on IRC really. | 13:46 |
| TheSheep | jayant412: type in terminal 'lspci | grep VGA' to tell | 13:46 |
| TheSheep | jayant412: don't use private messages, others want to learn too | 13:46 |
| TheSheep | you do that with '/query user' | 13:47 |
| TheSheep | where user is the name f the person you want to query | 13:47 |
| jayant412 | i mean.. Like how you get "jayant412: don't use private messages, others want to learn too".. my name at the start.... | 13:50 |
| jayant412 | and sorry about that PM.. | 13:50 |
| TheSheep | no problem :) | 13:51 |
| TheSheep | just type the beginning of the name and press tab | 13:51 |
| jayant412 | TheSheep: Ah.. Nice.. Thanks.. :) | 13:51 |
| TheSheep | you can complete with tab in many places, in the terminal too | 13:51 |
| jayant412 | anywys.. I have an Intel graphics chipset thing.. 128 MB.. 910 GML express.. I think thats the name.. | 13:52 |
| jayant412 | ah.. Okay.. I'll remember that.. | 13:52 |
| TheSheep | can you check the text file /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what driver you are using? | 13:53 |
| jayant412 | oh.. and right now I am on windows.. So.. Can you tell me how to get what you want to know on windows? XP? | 13:53 |
| TheSheep | it should be mentioned somewhere in that gibberish | 13:53 |
| TheSheep | hmm... | 13:53 |
| jayant412 | lol... I couldn't use xubuntu anymore.. it was just too slow... | 13:53 |
| TheSheep | that's very strange | 13:54 |
| jayant412 | The xubuntu installer said I had 247 MB of RAM to be specific.. and the Live CD just wouldn't work.. | 13:55 |
| jayant412 | can i have too many packages installed?? Can they slow down the system?? Coz I think i have like over 1000 packages installed.. | 13:58 |
| _Pete_ | jayant412: no, only running programs slows downs system | 14:02 |
| jayant412 | _Pete_: Oh, alright.. | 14:06 |
| jayant412 | can I try something to make it run faster or something?? | 14:06 |
| _Pete_ | I think the best way to speed up things is to get more memory | 14:07 |
| jayant412 | hmmm.. how do i do that with xubuntu?? coz this is the first time I installed something Unix like on my system and I have no idea what to do.. | 14:11 |
| _Pete_ | to get memory? go to the shop and buy them :) | 14:18 |
| jayant412 | _Pete_: :) I could do that.. :P | 14:19 |
| jayant412 | anywys.. I gotta run for dinner.. Thanks a lot for all your help guys.. See ya.. | 14:25 |
| slow-motion | hi | 15:29 |
| crazygir | I'm looking to install openoffice.org with synaptic.. the version says 1:2.4.1-11-ubuntustuff is this oo.o v2.4.1? | 16:28 |
| crazygir | and if so, what's the 1:foo about? and is v3 available? | 16:28 |
| chewit | yeh, its 2.4.1 | 16:31 |
| charlie-tca | The extra stuff is so ubuntu knows the changes it made | 16:35 |
| charlie-tca | v3 is in Jaunty | 16:36 |
| charlie-tca | But I don't think it is packaged for intrepid. You can install it from the openoffice website, though. It will even work without removing the existing version | 16:37 |
| btQuark_ | hello | 16:39 |
| btQuark_ | i wonder if i could selectivly set a windows transparence | 16:40 |
| btQuark_ | just like one is able to do with compiz, just without compiz, just with the xfce compositor | 16:40 |
| brandonban6 | btQuark_, you'd need a transparent theme. Check out www.xfce-look.org | 16:45 |
| btQuark_ | brandonban6: i'm not sure we mean the same: i want standard opaque windows, and an option in the windows menu to set its transparence | 16:52 |
| btQuark_ | i already have transparent decorations which is fine, i just would the entire content of selected windows to be transparent | 16:52 |
| btQuark_ | do i need a transparent theme for that too? | 16:53 |
| Anubis | Hello | 16:57 |
| Anubis | Anyone ever have a problem with the text under their desktop icons just being vertical lines? | 16:58 |
| charlie-tca | Anubis: have you changed the fonts? | 16:59 |
| Anubis | I made them a bit smaller. | 17:00 |
| Anubis | They were rather large. | 17:00 |
| charlie-tca | did you make them smaller with the DPI settings? | 17:00 |
| charlie-tca | You may have to change the font to something else, but you should try log out / log in again first | 17:01 |
| Anubis | I did log out/in | 17:01 |
| Anubis | I did not make them smaller with the dpi settings. | 17:01 |
| charlie-tca | And they were readable before making them smaller? | 17:02 |
| Anubis | I went back to the default settings. Evidently it was a theme issue. | 17:02 |
| Anubis | Thanks for the help, tho. | 17:03 |
| charlie-tca | okay. Sometimes just picking a different font will work, too | 17:03 |
| charlie-tca | no problem. | 17:03 |
| brandonban6 | btQuark_, sorry I misunderstood your request. I don't know if that is manageable, why not use compiz? | 17:09 |
| btQuark_ | i like the xfwm | 17:10 |
| btQuark_ | compiz sometimes is too anoying | 17:10 |
| btQuark_ | although i now that i can configure the hell out of it | 17:11 |
| brandonban6 | ahh, cool. Yeah, I'm not sure :( | 17:11 |
| Slor | Hey guys - question on "support" vs download availability. I have a machine running 7.04, which I understand is past its support window. To me that would me no new updates are being made available, but does it also mean that existing packages/updates have been removed as well? | 17:19 |
| Slor | I ask because I would like to install a package or two, but apt-get can no longer fetch from the archive. | 17:19 |

| vinnl | Ah they have indeed been removed | 17:22 |
| vinnl | Or at least, they're not at packages.ubuntu.com | 17:22 |
| charlie-tca | The old and new packages are here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/ | 17:22 |
| Slor | was my next question. :) Where do I change the repository URLs? | 17:23 |
| charlie-tca | Give me a minute to go look again | 17:23 |
| Slor | thanks | 17:23 |
| chewit | Slor, why not do a fresh install to an LTS release | 17:25 |
| chewit | much longer support cycle | 17:25 |
| chewit | 2yrs i think | 17:25 |
| Slor | Well, this isn't exactly a current machine, and I'd prefer even in 2 years not to have to reinstall to have access to the latest packages. No new updates, I perfectly understand. | 17:26 |
| Slor | actually, this 7.04 install is just about 2 years old | 17:27 |
| charlie-tca | Can't find them. Can only find ubuntu, kubuntu | 17:27 |
| vinnl | It's actually three years of updates :) | 17:27 |
| charlie-tca | Yes, standard life is 18 months, LTS is 3 years | 17:27 |
| chewit | is xfce power manager going to be used in 9.04 as default, or is it still gnome | 17:27 |
| Slor | Isn't the archive common to all ubuntu releases, or do I misunderstand that? | 17:27 |
| vinnl | Yes it is, I think charlie-tca is look for CD images (?) | 17:28 |
| charlie-tca | It is not common, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ | 17:28 |
| charlie-tca | I can not find the old-release xubuntu images | 17:28 |
| vinnl | charlie-tca, he's looking for repo's | 17:28 |
| Slor | right | 17:29 |
| charlie-tca | There aren't any for 7.04 anymore. They are only maintained for the current releases | 17:30 |
| charlie-tca | 7.04 has been EOL for 6 months | 17:30 |
| charlie-tca | 6.06 and 7.10 will be EOL in April | 17:30 |
| Slor | Does the Feisty directory on the url not contain the repo? | 17:31 |
| vinnl | No just CD images | 17:31 |
| chewit | i personal think ubuntu support releases for to long | 17:31 |
| charlie-tca | What url? | 17:31 |
| Slor | the one you noted above charlie | 17:32 |
| Slor | I guess my hope is that there is a mirror of the last 7.04 packages kept somewhere | 17:33 |
| Slor | hmmm - this looks like it has the feisty versions of links in it: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/links/ | 17:35 |
| === rocko is now known as english | ||
| === english is now known as rocko | ||
| Slor | where would I reconfig apt-get to use old-releases.ubuntu.com rather than us.archive.ubuntu.com | 17:38 |
| charlie-tca | /etc/apt/sources.list | 17:38 |
| Slor | i'll save a copy and see if this gets me what I want | 17:39 |
| charlie-tca | You really should upgrade to a current release soon. You have to do it one version at a time, and next month 7.10 is no longer supported too | 17:39 |
| knome | charlie-tca, you totally beat me! :) | 17:39 |
| * charlie-tca did it! | 17:39 | |
| Slor | last I heard, trying to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 had its issues. | 17:39 |
| neozen | slor.... everything has issues | 17:40 |
| chewit | why not do a fresh install | 17:40 |
| charlie-tca | I think staying at 7.04 is going to have issues | 17:40 |
| neozen | but w/o updating... you'll have more | 17:40 |
| charlie-tca | There are no security updates, no support, ... | 17:40 |
| vinnl | And 8.04 will be supported until April 2011 | 17:40 |
| neozen | since you'll be running on out of date packages | 17:40 |
| neozen | ...what charlie said :P | 17:40 |
| vinnl | Also, you can do a fresh install with the /home directory on a separate partition so that that won't be as much of an issue in the future | 17:41 |
| charlie-tca | Current versions of applications won't work, eventually, nothing works right and you can not upgrade, you have to install fresh | 17:41 |
| Slor | home's already on a separate partition. | 17:41 |
| vinnl | Well, then why not do a fresh install? ;-) | 17:41 |
| neozen | slor.... GOOD! | 17:41 |
| Slor | I'm on dated hardware and not looking to upgrade. | 17:41 |
| Slor | just looking for access to the existing packages | 17:42 |
| charlie-tca | I have upgraded a couple from 7.04 to 7.10 to 8.04 without actually using 7.10 | 17:42 |
| vinnl | If you actually want to *use* that hardware you better upgrade ;-) But it's your choice, of course | 17:42 |
| chewit | what specs is it? | 17:42 |
| charlie-tca | But I think 6.10 and 7.04 had more issues for me than 7.10 and 8.04 | 17:42 |
| neozen | Slor: xu still has the same design goals it had before | 17:42 |
| chewit | there is no real hardware requirements increase from 7.04 to 8.10 | 17:42 |
| neozen | (run on older hw better then full-on ubuntu) | 17:42 |
| vinnl | neozen, that's not the sole design goal ;-) | 17:43 |
| charlie-tca | Although the ATI Rage Pro video card is no longer working | 17:43 |
| vinnl | But let's not get into that :P | 17:43 |
| neozen | vinnl: of course not | 17:43 |
| Slor | yeah, I gotcha. And your recommendations are duly noted. :) | 17:43 |
| vinnl | Good ;-) | 17:43 |
| neozen | vinnl: but when you've got older hw... you want it to be :P | 17:43 |
| vinnl | Hehe | 17:43 |
| Slor | That's an interesting coincidence - my video card actually may BE a rage pro | 17:43 |
| vinnl | xD | 17:43 |
| chewit | why isnt the rage pro not supported anymore? | 17:43 |
| neozen | lspci? | 17:43 |
| Slor | what's a command line to get my video card spec? | 17:44 |
| charlie-tca | I don't remember if it worked in 8.04, but it sure quit in 8.10 and 9.04 | 17:44 |
| Slor | (I'm remote) | 17:44 |
| charlie-tca | sudo lshw | 17:44 |
| neozen | slor: ssh? | 17:44 |
| Slor | yeah | 17:44 |
| charlie-tca | ATI dropped it completely from the drivers now | 17:44 |
| neozen | charlie-tca: ...yuk | 17:44 |
| Slor | Rage 128 PF/PRO AGP 4x TMDS | 17:44 |
| charlie-tca | compatibility issues with xorg | 17:45 |
| chewit | hmm, i though xorg manage the old cards | 17:45 |
| chewit | i have a 7000, i have to use xorg drivers cause ati have never released drivers for this card under linux | 17:45 |
| charlie-tca | xorg has to have a driver. ATI is proprietary and won't give out the specs so they can be supported | 17:45 |
| chewit | same with all ati cards, which are 8500 ^ below | 17:45 |
| Slor | lshw - is that akin to dmidecode? | 17:47 |
| chewit | charlie, people with a rage pro could use vesa or a generic driver | 17:47 |
| chewit | they dont need the 3d support | 17:47 |
| charlie-tca | chewit: you might get 640 x 480 out of it, too | 17:48 |
| charlie-tca | No, I take it back, vesa don't work | 17:48 |
| chewit | yeh, maybe 800x600 | 17:48 |
| chewit | oh | 17:49 |
| charlie-tca | There is no generic driver anymore. xorg 1.6 won't work with it. | 17:49 |
| charlie-tca | I have the card. I have tried several times | 17:49 |
| chewit | charlie, does 9.04 use the xfce power manager by default or gnome | 17:50 |
| charlie-tca | At least in Jaunty, you can not use the card | 17:50 |
| chewit | ah ok | 17:50 |
| charlie-tca | We are hoping to get xfce-power-manager in, but right now it is gnome | 17:50 |
| Slor | that did it for me guys - thanks for the discussion | 17:50 |
| chewit | ah, i have seen its in the repos though | 17:50 |
| charlie-tca | Good luck, Slor | 17:50 |
| Slor | oh, and I already have 8.10 on a newer machine somewhere. :) | 17:51 |
| charlie-tca | :-) | 17:51 |
| chewit | well, u need to try and get it in. gnome power manager is too heavy for xfce | 17:51 |
| charlie-tca | yeah, that **(})DPU ATI rage is just obsolete, I'm afraid | 17:51 |
| Slor | This is one of my hardware hand-me-down machines. | 17:51 |
| Slor | When I get a new card for my current machine, I'll have a GF3 to move down to it at least. | 17:52 |
| charlie-tca | Hey, I got a couple of them. I am running one with a STB Velocity 4MB card, and it works | 17:52 |
| Slor | :) | 17:52 |
| charlie-tca | Also, the matrox card is still working, but it is harder to get set up | 17:53 |
| Slor | been a while since I tried to find a distro that's installable on my Latitude LM. | 17:54 |
| Slor | (40MB memory, if I remember right) | 17:54 |
| btQuark_ | some question: is there any chance that pulseaudio would get decently integrated into xubuntu? | 17:54 |
| charlie-tca | Yeah, that's a little light. I tried to install xubuntu Jaunty, with 128MB ram, and it refused | 17:54 |
| charlie-tca | btQuark_: not in jaunty | 17:54 |
| Slor | I did a low mem RH install a number of years ago on it. | 17:55 |
| Slor | I bet my Slack (circa '95) cd set would work, but it probably wouldn't suppor the video or network. | 17:55 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe yellowdog linux would work? | 17:55 |
| btQuark_ | hm. if its going to come some day, integrated better than into ubuntu that would be something | 17:55 |
| Slor | dunno. That machines dedicated to other low-performance-requiring tasks. :) | 17:56 |
| charlie-tca | btQuark_: that is what is holding it up. It would be preferred to have working sound | 17:56 |
| Slor | I assume the graphical software manager simply accesses apt's repositories | 17:57 |
| vinnl | Slor, yes | 17:57 |
| * charlie-tca got beat on that one | 17:57 | |
| charlie-tca | okay, back to compiling | 17:58 |
| neozen | salu Laserbeak44 | 18:01 |
| Laserbeak44 | hello neozen | 18:01 |
| LordAnubis | Anyone ever have their cursor look like a box of jibberish? | 18:04 |
| LordAnubis | It's exceptionally annoying. | 18:05 |
| neozen | what file format are the cursors in? | 18:05 |
| LordAnubis | It's just my normal pointer, but it looks like a box for some reason. | 18:06 |
| LordAnubis | A rather large box. | 18:07 |
| LordAnubis | I don't know what file format the cursors are in. | 18:07 |
| neozen | that is strange | 18:07 |
| LordAnubis | Very | 18:07 |
| LordAnubis | And annoying. | 18:07 |
| neozen | I'm assuming you're just using one of the out of the box cursors? | 18:07 |
| LordAnubis | You can occasionally see the regular mouse pointer under it. | 18:07 |
| LordAnubis | I'm using the one that came with xubuntu. | 18:07 |
| LordAnubis | I didn't change any of them. | 18:07 |
| vinnl | LordAnubis, is this the first time you're experiencing this? | 18:07 |
| charlie-tca | In all applications and desktop? | 18:07 |
| LordAnubis | Could it be a theme issue? | 18:07 |
| LordAnubis | Yes, vinnl. It's a fairly new install. | 18:08 |
| vinnl | LordAnubis, you have never rebooted, logged out or whatever? | 18:08 |
| vinnl | *since | 18:08 |
| LordAnubis | Yes | 18:08 |
| LordAnubis | Several times | 18:08 |
| vinnl | :S | 18:08 |
| LordAnubis | Tell me about it. | 18:09 |
| LordAnubis | I thought it might be a theme issue. | 18:09 |
| LordAnubis | Anyone have a clue on to why this happens? | 18:12 |
| charlie-tca | It might be theme related | 18:14 |
| SiDi | I don't think it directly comes from the GTK *theme* | 18:15 |
| LordAnubis | It's just odd | 18:15 |
| SiDi | would you mind trying another mouse cursor (in Xfce params -> UI -> mouse cursor or something similar) ? | 18:15 |
| LordAnubis | and of course, annoying. | 18:15 |
| SiDi | and also, are you using the XFCE composite transparency features ? | 18:15 |
| LordAnubis | Lemme chech | 18:15 |
| vinnl | Settings Manager->Mouse->Cursor, actually :) | 18:15 |
| LordAnubis | What menu is that under. | 18:15 |
| * SiDi self slaps. | 18:15 | |
| LordAnubis | Guess I have to restart x | 18:16 |
| LordAnubis | again | 18:16 |
| SiDi | LordAnubis: i advise you to try other cursors, to check if you're using free/proprietary drivers, to disable compiz/xfce window transparency | 18:16 |
| charlie-tca | Yeah, but that is just log out / log in | 18:16 |
| SiDi | it's either related to the mouse cursor files or to the GPU drivers imho | 18:16 |
| LordAnubis | Ok, thanks. I'll try that. | 18:17 |
| LordAnubis | brb | 18:17 |
| Anubis | It worked Sidi | 18:20 |
| Anubis | I just changed the mouse curser back to the default. | 18:20 |
| Anubis | Thank you so much. | 18:20 |
| Slor | So much for popularity of the "Random Garbage" theme... | 18:20 |
| Anubis | Yes, you're right. | 18:21 |
| Anubis | I was just using one of the themes that came with Xubuntu | 18:21 |
| Anubis | Is there a Ubuntu/Xubuntu channel for DJ's ? | 18:24 |
| knome | Anubis, suppose not. there is #xubuntu-offtopic for any kind of discussion, though :) | 18:37 |
| Anubis | Thanks knome | 18:37 |
| knome | it's a bit quiet sometimes but... :) | 18:38 |
| charlie-tca | just invite them over to it | 18:38 |
| knome | them? | 18:39 |
| charlie-tca | The DJ's | 18:39 |
| knome | oh, "them" | 18:39 |
| knome | dholbach then ;) | 18:39 |
| charlie-tca | yeah, "them" | 18:40 |

| maxxle | Hello! I've troubles with my NetworkManager. I wonder how a package can be added to the default xubuntu distro without documentation? | 20:16 |
| neozen | which pkg you trying to install? | 20:21 |
| maxxle | I've installed the 'nm-tool' and the NetworkManager. The manpages to BOTH packages don't describe how to set it up. | 20:22 |
| neozen | k | 20:22 |
| neozen | maxxle: there's a network manager system tray applet available when you install network-manager-gnome | 20:22 |
| neozen | once you've installed that package... and run command: nm-applet it should appear in the tray | 20:23 |
| neozen | which version of xubuntu are you running? | 20:23 |
| neozen | intrepid? | 20:23 |
| maxxle | It _IS_ running. But there is nowhere documentation on how to set it up. I need a manpage/help that discribes e.g. /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf | 20:24 |
| neozen | hmmm | 20:24 |
| neozen | just poke the nm-applet | 20:24 |
| neozen | use mouse | 20:25 |
| neozen | it'll create appropriate config file entries | 20:25 |
| maxxle | It tells me that my 'ath0' 'not managed'. I want to tweak that... but without documentation.... boring. | 20:26 |
| charlie-tca | !networkmanager | 20:26 |
| ubottu | networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager | 20:26 |
| maxxle | mhm.... | 20:28 |
| maxxle | Thx for your help. | 20:30 |
| charlie-tca | You can always do a search from there... | 20:30 |
| maxxle | I think it's a package missing completely any manpage. Imho this package should be removed from the repository | 20:31 |
| neozen | hey maxxle | 20:31 |
| neozen | got something for you | 20:31 |
| maxxle | yes?! | 20:32 |
| neozen | take a look @ /etc/network/interfaces | 20:32 |
| neozen | maxxle: see anything more then loopback? | 20:32 |
| maxxle | I've already removed all other entries and restartet all network stuff + network-manager | 20:33 |
| neozen | ahh... | 20:33 |
| neozen | drat | 20:33 |
| maxxle | ok.... i will try to reboot my machine..... Maybe i have more luck after doing this :(...... cya - maybe | 20:35 |
