| ball | psychic: I don't know. What does lspci say? | 03:07 |
| psychic | ball http://pastebin.com/m48e69565 | 03:08 |
| ball | psychic: it may be worth pasting just line 16 into #xorg along with a "how do I choose the right driver for this?" | 03:10 |
| ball | ...or check out their Web site. | 03:10 |
| psychic | ok | 03:11 |

| ball | psychic: I've never had that problem in Xubuntu, so I don't know, sorry. | 03:13 |
| Kangarooo | my experience says best is to put all max info about problem in launchpad and then check it next day.. and answer al questions.. and put what could it be affecting.. so ubuntu xubuntu xorg xfce | 03:15 |
| Kangarooo | psychic: was my forum link usefull with commands? | 03:15 |

| Kangarooo | kromar: thats really no pronblem.. done that 2 times :) | 04:01 |
| kromar | ya looks really simple | 04:04 |
| kromar | arr i cant start it from the cd:/ | 04:06 |
| kromar | or is it possible to start the 32 bit version to make it for the 64 bit version? | 04:07 |
| Kangarooo | why not? kromar | 04:10 |
| kromar | dont know:D | 04:12 |
| Kangarooo | shut down pc put cd and start | 04:12 |
| Kangarooo | and put the correct 64 or 32 version | 04:13 |
| kromar | is there a way to get the correct hd, partition for it? im not exactly sure where i put it, its on the first harddrive that one im sure but im not sure which partition.. | 04:14 |
| kromar | its sda1 in the partition editor | 04:14 |
| kromar | would that be hd0,0? | 04:14 |
| Kangarooo | eeem.. well if u have ubuntu live then start in live mode and check in some system or partition manager.. | 04:16 |
| Kangarooo | and besides- u can change it many times to nr 1 or n2.. | 04:16 |
| kromar | the partition manager only says /dev/sda1 | 04:17 |
| kromar | well the a is for the first harddisk and 1 for the first partition if im not wrong... so that would be hd0,0 right? | 04:18 |
| kromar | sweet worked perfect:D | 04:21 |
| Kasm279 | i messed up dpkg :( | 04:21 |
| kromar | only the name of the windofs is still an old one | 04:21 |

| Kasm279 | wat do i do: | 04:23 |
| Kasm279 | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 04:23 |
| Kasm279 | E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 04:23 |
| Kangarooo | u installed updates? | 04:24 |
| Kangarooo | i think it continues where it stopped when next time started.. | 04:24 |
| Kasm279 | i was installing apps and my laptop completely and utterly froze | 04:25 |
| Kasm279 | it happened with kubuntu, too | 04:25 |

| Mood | how do i check the version of my xubuntu? | 06:40 |
| Florin23 | uname -a | 06:41 |
| Mood | uname only shows linux version. i want xubuntu version | 06:42 |
| Florin23 | uname -m | 06:42 |
| Mood | cody-somerville: are you around? | 06:43 |
| Florin23 | uname -r | 06:43 |
| Florin23 | uname -v | 06:44 |
| tavasti | Mood, check what you have in /etc/apt/sources.list | 06:57 |
| Mood | tavasti: i found the solution: either lsb_release -a, or cat /etc/issue should do the trick ;-) | 06:58 |
| tavasti | in general, /etc/issue can be anything (admin may change it), but that lsb_*, that's interesting, thanks | 07:02 |
| Mood | ooh- i don't like the ugly lines separating the apps in the panel | 07:04 |
| Mood | in xfce 4.6 | 07:04 |
| Mood | hmm... xubuntu 8.10->9.04 upgrade re-installs packages i removed... interesting... | 07:16 |

| penguen_ | hi. how do you spell xubuntu? | 15:37 |
| Pres-Gas | You got it penguen_ | 15:37 |
| penguen_ | thanks :) | 15:39 |
| sarts | lol | 15:42 |
| Kerio | hello | 15:52 |
| Kerio | xubuntu or regular ubuntu, thats the question :) | 15:52 |
| sarts | that's like: cappuchino or latte | 15:53 |
| charlie-tca | I go with Xubuntu everytime. | 15:53 |
| sarts | how do you want a decent answer? ;) | 15:53 |
| === freego is now known as forces | ||
| Kerio | hehe | 15:54 |
| Kerio | omg, 10MB/s from ftp! | 15:54 |
| Kerio | nice mirrors :) | 15:54 |
| charlie-tca | And that is only the beginning | 15:54 |
| Kerio | if i install xubuntu, is it hard to change which os to boot first in grub? | 15:55 |
| Kerio | if i decide to keep xp | 15:55 |
| charlie-tca | you simply edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 15:55 |
| sarts | it isn't hard :) | 15:55 |
| Kerio | yea? "gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" and then change it? | 15:56 |
| Kerio | the order | 15:56 |
| Kerio | should work wright? | 15:57 |
| Kerio | hmm, right or wright | 15:57 |
| Kerio | forgetting my english | 15:57 |
| charlie-tca | gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the default 0 on line 14 or so to the number of the OS you want to boot first | 15:58 |
| Kerio | 0 = to boot first= | 15:59 |
| Kerio | ? | 15:59 |
| Kerio | 1 = boot second? | 15:59 |
| charlie-tca | 0 is the first entry down at the bottom of the file. After you get it installed, you count the entries down to what you want to boot first | 16:00 |
| Kerio | okok, thx. I'll give it a shot | 16:00 |
| charlie-tca | mine is 5, for the fifth entry | 16:01 |
| Kerio | aha | 16:01 |
| Kerio | that easy ey? :) | 16:01 |
| Kerio | burning a copy know | 16:01 |
| Kerio | gparted can resize partitions without causing catastrophy - right? | 16:02 |
| charlie-tca | You should always backup what you do not want to lose. | 16:02 |
| Kerio | example, got a 436gb in ntfs where i store stuff. usually no problem resizing it? | 16:03 |
| Kerio | nothings foolproof but pretty much? | 16:04 |
| charlie-tca | I never use ntfs, but have not seen many reports of it giving problems. | 16:04 |

| J_Litewski | now, does anyone know how to solder a BIOS battery back onto a laptop motherboard? | 17:48 |
| * SiDi compiling ALSA drivers now. i'll make a clean reinstal next time :x | 17:48 | |
| genii | Carefully | 17:50 |
| J_Litewski | lol genii | 17:51 |
| charlie-tca | J_Litewski: same as a desktop? (use a small soldering iron) ( Never done either one) | 17:51 |
| J_Litewski | ah | 17:51 |
| J_Litewski | i got it taped on atm | 17:51 |
| J_Litewski | it works, it just takes forever and a day to boot | 17:51 |
| SiDi | Lol | 17:52 |
| SiDi | i have to install a tool (xmlto) that has PulseAudio as a dependency in order to install ALSA. Is this normal ? | 17:53 |
| charlie-tca | PulseAudio library is normal to install ALSA, but I don't know why xmlto should be. It is just an XML to ??? conversion tool, isn't it? | 17:57 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe I worded that wrong, the library is part of Xubuntu installation. | 17:58 |
| SiDi | It is, charlie-tca | 18:03 |
| SiDi | i need it to compile alsa-utils | 18:03 |
| SiDi | and it requires pulseaudio :/ | 18:03 |
| SiDi | !info pulseaudio | 18:04 |
| ubottu | pulseaudio (source: pulseaudio): PulseAudio sound server. In component main, is optional. Version 1:0.9.14-0ubuntu20 (jaunty), package size 402 kB, installed size 1780 kB | 18:04 |
| charlie-tca | Not according to dependencies in synaptic package manager, it doesn't seem to | 18:04 |
| charlie-tca | You're compiling alsa-utils? Can't just install it? | 18:05 |
| SiDi | charlie-tca, i wanted the latest :P | 18:07 |
| SiDi | cause strangely, with the one shipped with jaunty, i was having a poor volume | 18:07 |
| SiDi | (and it erased my changes in modprobe.d/alsa-utils) | 18:07 |
| SiDi | (i ended up with no sound, and pulse launching itself :X) | 18:07 |
| charlie-tca | yeah, I believe alsa-utils will require pulseaudio then. | 18:08 |
| SiDi | i wonder why i didnt have xfce4-notifyd installed, too | 18:08 |
| charlie-tca | I keep trying to avoid pulseaudio, but I suspect it is going to be a forced issue. | 18:08 |
| SiDi | i fear so, too | 18:08 |
| charlie-tca | We aren't using it, are we? | 18:08 |
| SiDi | We don't | 18:09 |
| SiDi | we're still on ALSA afaiik | 18:09 |
| charlie-tca | I don't have xfce4-notifyd installed. I think we use gnome notify | 18:09 |
| SiDi | oh, notifyd ? | 18:09 |
| charlie-tca | Yeah, notifyd | 18:09 |
| SiDi | I installed it but dunno how to launch it :D | 18:10 |
| SiDi | I'm gonna reboot the session to see if the daemon launches | 18:13 |
| SiDi | Back | 18:19 |
| SiDi | xfce4-notifyd is pretty cool :) | 18:19 |
| charlie-tca | I have heard that before. | 18:20 |
| zoredache | can you make it accept notifications from the network? | 18:20 |
| SiDi | zoredache, do you mean you ssh and then call notify-send ? | 18:21 |
| SiDi | ( charlie-tca i think notify-osd still looks cooler ^^) | 18:21 |
| charlie-tca | Aw, cool, cooler, both are good | 18:22 |
| SiDi | I'll see what features xfce4-notifyd has | 18:22 |
| SiDi | what bugs me is that at the moment it seems to put all the notifications above each other | 18:22 |
| SiDi | which isnt a great feature | 18:22 |
| zoredache | no, I want it to accept messages like Growl on OSX by leaving a udp port open and accepting messages from the network | 18:23 |
| BSE | SiDi: did you found where is session saved? :D | 18:24 |
| SiDi | BSE : i will NEVER check that box again :D | 18:24 |

| xae8koo | Hello | 18:24 |
| xae8koo | Is xbuntu worse than ubuntuwith bluetooth? | 18:25 |
| zoredache | SiDi: no worries, I'll look at it when I get around to upgrading... | 18:25 |
| charlie-tca | xae8koo: Should be the same. | 18:25 |
| xae8koo | Sure? There is a diffrence between kde and xfce... | 18:25 |
| SiDi | xae8koo, we use the same packages ;) | 18:26 |
| SiDi | we use the same bluetooth-applet, and gnome-bluez and obex-ftp packages, afaik | 18:27 |
| SiDi | bluetooth works "out of the box" in xubuntu | 18:27 |
| xae8koo | Not with my phone! | 18:27 |

| xae8koo | SiDi: Is the shipping free? | 18:29 |
| SiDi | We dont have direct canonical support, so we don't have funds for shipping CDs. | 18:29 |
| Bensawsome | oh ok SiDi :( | 18:29 |
| Bensawsome | thanks | 18:29 |
| zoredache | Bensawsome: find a friend that has a cd-burner and bandwidth and ask nicely? | 18:29 |

| xae8koo | IS there any other things like xfce that is bether with bluetooth? | 18:30 |

| xae8koo | That it can actually pair with my phone | 18:30 |
| xae8koo | And stay paired | 18:31 |
| zoredache | dunno, have you tried doing a search for your model of phone and linux and bluetooth? | 18:31 |
| xae8koo | zoredache: It didn't work | 18:37 |
| xae8koo | I don't have hidd installed. | 18:37 |

| Aquilai | I was trying to assign Altgr+Left to go to previous workspace/Desktop and Altgr+Right to go to next. | 19:34 |
| Aquilai | But when I press the key combo the keyboard freezes and to go around this I would have to mouse click onto any window's titlebar and press the keyboard button direction opposite to the one that the window is being dragged to. | 19:36 |
| Aquilai | Oh I'm using xubuntu 9.04 virtually brand new without any compiz or window related packages installed. | 19:37 |
| floating | trying to install xubuntu, but when i boot the cd it lets me choose lang, but when i choose "install xubuntu" or check disc for errors" it freezes | 19:48 |
| floating | i think i had this exact same problem on other pc elsewhere, but didnt try to solve it | 19:51 |
| floating | how cant i find much info for this from google i wonder | 19:51 |

| boscop | my friend has a resolution of 800x600 and he can hardly read anything because the fonts are too small. how can he change the resolution? | 19:54 |
| floating | try xubuntu without any change to your computer freezes the pc also | 19:54 |
| zoredache | boscop: usually that means the video card hasn't been detected properly... You may need to check to see if you can/should install a restricted driver | 19:58 |
| floating | can the cd be defect to make it freeze like this again | 19:59 |
| zoredache | a cd defect could make a system freeze, it could also be insufficent memory, incompatible hardware, or other things | 20:02 |
| zoredache | floating: btw, how much memory does the computer have | 20:02 |
| floating | 1GB | 20:03 |
| alienkid10 | this it the eeor: /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0000 near line 1: newline in field name '#padding'" from dpkg --configure -a? | 20:07 |
| floating | ok the cd is bad. how can i burn this so that it works ? | 20:07 |
| floating | should i try burning with lower speed ? i have only 1 cd-rw disc, which has been burned over many times. i erase it with the fast method and burn the discs with automatic speed option, but that seem to fail to create a working xubuntu disc | 20:08 |
| alienkid10 | this is the error: /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0000 near line 1: newline in field name '#padding'" from sudo dpkg --configure -a? | 20:10 |
| floating | on another pc, when i choose test memory or any other option, i get a popup that says I/O error , boot cd or something | 20:10 |
| floating | i try burn the same iso with a lower speed ... | 20:11 |
| floating | i took a complete erase cd/dvd, but this seem to take a long time, ill report back | 20:11 |
| alienkid10 | is there a fix for my problem? | 20:12 |
| alienkid10 | or should I jsut reinstall? | 20:12 |
| alienkid10 | just | 20:12 |
| alienkid10 | anyone? | 20:13 |
| floating | what does it mean to "finalize" disc or not when burning disc i woner | 20:19 |
| Foxkeh | I try running sudo dpkg --configure -a and it keeps saying "Parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0000" near line 1:" in there it just says "#padding". Any ideas how to get it to run? | 20:19 |
| Foxkeh | Nevermind it's this "parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0000' near line 1: | 20:20 |
| Foxkeh | newline in field name `#padding'" | 20:20 |
| floating | i mean i know that much that if i dont finalize, i might burn more to the disc, but as it is not finalized by default, i guess i can burn images like xubuntu disc without finalizing | 20:20 |
| floating | ok, burned with slowest possible (8x) and still freezing. i guess i try burn it with "finalizing" next | 20:23 |
| Foxkeh | Anyone? | 20:23 |

| floating | ok, the xubuntu desktop cd is freezing. tried burning the image in 4 ways. what is the difference in the alternate cd ? | 20:44 |
| floating | i mean what advanced options should i try.. well i guess i burn and see. at least it is 700MB while desktop was much smaller | 20:47 |
| knome | !alternate | 20:48 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 20:48 |
| Belding | the alternate cd's have never done me wrong | 20:51 |

| knome | fifi_, alt+f2 > mousepad /home/yourusername/.xsession-errors | 22:37 |
| SiDi | !paste | 22:37 |
| 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) | 22:37 |
| fifi_ | welp... I'm having to IRC on a different system because after that Xubuntu upgrade I literally can't do anything | 22:38 |
| fifi_ | I'll go find the errors file... | 22:39 |
| fifi_ | thanks | 22:39 |
| SiDi | fifi_, tell us if you see something weird | 22:40 |
| SiDi | esp. beginning with 'EE' | 22:40 |
| gorgut | hey guys, I just upgraded to jaunty and I'm having issues with pulsaudio. Are there any known bugs? | 22:42 |
| SiDi | gorgut, did you use to have GNOME too ? | 22:43 |
| SiDi | gorgut, the first thing i did was sudo aptitude purge pulseaudio, then things related to sound went much better | 22:43 |
| SiDi | you can reinstall it after if you want, though | 22:43 |
| gorgut | SiDi, no, upgraded directly from xubuntu 8.19 | 22:43 |
| gorgut | SiDi, err... 8.10 | 22:44 |
| SiDi | gorgut, i mean, did you ever had gnome/kde before on this 8.10 install ? | 22:44 |
| gorgut | SiDi, nope. always xfce | 22:44 |
| SiDi | then you're not meant to have PA at all, afaik :| | 22:44 |
| SiDi | anyways, try to remove it and you'll see if any app asks for it as a dependency | 22:45 |
| SiDi | here i've been having sound till it was removed :D | 22:45 |
| linux-hdtv | sidi, may i ask you, i installed the restricted modules with synaptic now, looks like it added 2 server entries in my boot options, and since i use a usb keyboard i can not select the standard boot. | 22:49 |
| linux-hdtv | how can i remove the server boot options ? | 22:50 |
| linux-hdtv | from the cli ? | 22:50 |
| SiDi | Hm | 22:50 |
| SiDi | restricted areas doesnt add anything to boot entries :p | 22:50 |
| SiDi | its just a set of codecs | 22:50 |
| SiDi | but you can remove them by editing /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:50 |
| linux-hdtv | i need to remove grub/lilo entries, sidi ... | 22:51 |
| zoredache | removing the entries in /etc/apt/sources.list wouldn't remove the codes or a new kernel... | 22:51 |
| SiDi | /boot/grub/menu.lst sorry | 22:51 |
| SiDi | tiredness | 22:51 |
| SiDi | and i really don't know about lilo :x | 22:51 |
| SiDi | zoredache, i'm *really* in a bad state :( | 22:51 |
| linux-hdtv | thanks, i hope it is using grub | 22:51 |
| SiDi | All my apologizes. | 22:52 |
| zoredache | linux-hdtv: use a command like 'dpkg -l | grep linux-image' to see the installed kernel images. use a command like apt-get purge package to remove the one you didn't want | 22:53 |
| basajaun | upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 and hell, modules error, usb ntfs drives don't mount, wine entry in app menu disappears and appeard at random and system is much slower than under 8.10, irony is , if I log into the 2.6.27.11 kernel its tells me I am in jaunty no errors and its a beautiful system what is going on ? | 22:54 |
| zoredache | perhaps you manualy compiled your own video drivers or something and you haven't recompiled for the newer kernel? | 22:56 |
| madoc | May I ask a question here about my new upgrade in Xubuntu? | 22:58 |
| zoredache | !ask | madoc | 22:59 |
| ubottu | madoc: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:59 |
| madoc | After my upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04, when I MAXIMIZE any window on my desk top I get kicked out of the session and returned to the login screen. Help? | 23:00 |
| linux-hdtv | thanks sidi, that worked. | 23:00 |
| zoredache | madoc: I would guess it is something related to your video card, or video drivers... I don't know how you would need to troubleshot or fix that though | 23:03 |
| madoc | Is there a setting I can tweak that has to do with maximizing a window that will not cause my system to close the session? | 23:03 |
| alec-xubuntu | I have installed a wireless card, but it only works if i open a terminal and ifconfig eth0 down. How can i configure eth0 to be down when xubuntu starts? Also is there a way to get the wireless card to auto connect without needing to click on the ring main thing? | 23:04 |
| linux-hdtv | i did the purge, thanks zoredache. | 23:05 |
| madoc | zoredache -- this system worked perfectly with 8.10 and all the preceeding versions. Why would it fail now? | 23:05 |
| linux-hdtv | i have sound in kde, but not in mplayer playing avi. | 23:05 |
| zoredache | madoc: maybe something about the new kernel, or an updated video driver or whatever introduced a bug... | 23:06 |
| alec-xubuntu | oh and hi ^_^ | 23:07 |
| madoc | so much else is working, Zorodache, is there anyway to diagnoze this. When I maximize a window there is a brief moment when it shows a blue screen -- like it is choking -- and then bang -- new login screen again. | 23:08 |
| linux-hdtv | SiDi, thanks for the help, i hope you get good sleep soon. | 23:10 |
| SiDi | hiya alec-xubuntu :) I don't know about the eth0 issue, but your network-manager should auto connect to networks on which you previously connected; you can right click, edit connections, edit your connection and then ensure that the "auto connect" box is checked, though | 23:10 |
| SiDi | linux-hdtv, cheers | 23:10 |
| zoredache | madoc: I suspect I would be tempted to try running from the livecd for a bit to see if a) the video works b) the crash/bug happens | 23:11 |
| alec-xubuntu | Sidi, i think i have manually configured a wired connection, but it doesnt appear in the network manager. Where can i check to see if it is configured somewhere? | 23:11 |
| madoc | I'm a total beginner and really just hoping to get this system working like it was. I could even live WITHOUT ever maximizing a window EXCEPT that firefox is opejning up in a Maximized state and that will cause the crash as well. | 23:12 |
| zoredache | if it doesnt' happen in the 9.04 livecd, then that would seem to indicate that there is something broken about your setup... | 23:12 |
| SiDi | alec-xubuntu, wired or wireless ? anyways Right Click the network-manager's tray icon (usually looking like 2 computers), then "Edit connections" | 23:13 |
| madoc | my cd drive is screwed on this system -- I upgraded off of the update manager. Is there anyway I can reinstall this OS without a working CD drive | 23:13 |
| alec-xubuntu | SiDi the wired connection is the one thats causing the problem. I configured the wired connection before intalling the network manager, and now it doesnt look like it has a wired connection however when i use ifconfig after a boot, eth0 is configured with a static ip, even though its not plugged in. I remember configuring it, but i dont remember how i configured it. Im fairly sure i didnt use the network manager | 23:15 |
| alec-xubuntu | SiDi thank you for you time too =) | 23:15 |
| ramb0 | Good afternoon ... | 23:15 |
| zoredache | alec-xubuntu: try editing your /etc/network/interfaces... if you had a static set, maybe it is still set there | 23:16 |
| ramb0 | Anybody has tried to connect to the Ubuntu Xserver thru the LAN? | 23:17 |
| linux-hdtv | sound is workin in avi now too, thanks all :-) | 23:17 |
| zoredache | ramb0: connect how? using what service? | 23:17 |
| alec-xubuntu | zoredache spot on mate! it was in there, thanks! | 23:17 |
| zoredache | alec-xubuntu: you could change eth0 back to dhcp, or you could simply remove the 'auto eth0 or allow-hotplug eth0' lines | 23:18 |
| Maxwe | Okay, so here's my scenario: I had been using a programme called "Mnemosyne" (http://mnemosyne-proj.org/index.php) for a LONG time on 8.10, and now that I just upgraded to 9.04, it won't open at all. This is really screwing me up and I need some sort of solution, or a quick, easy way of downgrading so I can export my information from the programme, upgrade again, then re-install this programme on the new system and import the information. ANY IDEAS?!?!? | 23:18 |
| Maxwe | I'm freaking out a little :P | 23:18 |
| ramb0 | I just have an Ubuntu box without monitor.... | 23:18 |
| alec-xubuntu | hmm i just outright deleted it | 23:18 |
| ramb0 | I just tried this in the host : xhost + | 23:19 |
| Maxwe | : '( | 23:19 |
| Maxwe | Any ideas people? | 23:19 |
| zoredache | ramb0: did you just set the server up? have you install an ssh server? | 23:20 |
| ramb0 | yes of course | 23:20 |
| madoc | zoredache -- I have gone back to the update manager and been told I need a partial instal... when I click to complete this the update manager fails. Do you know the code in the terminal for this? Maybe that will make it work. | 23:20 |
| knome | Maxwe, if you run the app on terminal, what does it output? | 23:21 |
| Maxwe | I cannot remember how to run it on terminal. | 23:21 |
| Maxwe | I haven't had to set up my system in ages. | 23:21 |
| zoredache | madoc: try doing a 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' in the terminal | 23:21 |
| Maxwe | (Xubuntu is wonderfully stable and is, obviously, the shit) | 23:21 |
| knome | Maxwe, open the terminal from the applications menu and try mnemosyne | 23:21 |
| madoc | thanks BRB | 23:21 |
| Maxwe | Traceback (most recent call last): | 23:21 |

| zoredache | !pastebin | Maxwe | 23:22 |
| ubottu | Maxwe: 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) | 23:22 |
| Maxwe | Oh yeah. | 23:22 |
| Maxwe | Lol, forgot about that. | 23:22 |
| Maxwe | Oh well, I wouldn't really call that a flood, seeing as how so little actual talk is going on right now :P | 23:22 |
| Maxwe | But yes, that's the output. | 23:22 |
| alec-xubuntu | How can i prompt xubuntu to open the update wizard? im on 8.10 | 23:23 |
| zoredache | Maxwe: the 'DistributionNotFound' seems like it might be telling that the distro isn't supported | 23:23 |
| zoredache | have you checked to see if there are updates | 23:24 |
| ramb0 | Hey people: Can anybody tellme how can I enable Ubuntu to answer XDMCP requests? | 23:24 |
| Maxwe | There are none. | 23:24 |
| Maxwe | But yes, I did check :D | 23:24 |
| Maxwe | I think the quickest option would perhaps be to downgrade my system? | 23:26 |
| zoredache | Maxwe: perhaps... but there is no way to do a downgrade other then to backup, format, reinstall, and restore your data | 23:27 |
| Maxwe | Well..that is shit, isn't it. | 23:27 |
| Maxwe | Any ideas then? :P | 23:27 |
| zoredache | make a backup before you do an upgrade next time, so it is easier to go back... | 23:28 |
| Maxwe | Yes. | 23:28 |
| knome | Maxwe, try to contact the developer about this bug? :P | 23:28 |
| Maxwe | I realized that after I had started the process, but it was being a bitch. | 23:28 |
| Maxwe | Knome: somehow I doubt that would be a quick, efficient solution. | 23:28 |
| Maxwe | And everyone forgets to back up once in a while. | 23:28 |
| ramb0 | ZOREDACHE: what I want to do is connect to ubunto via XDMCP. is it possible? | 23:28 |
| knome | !xdmcp | 23:29 |
| ubottu | xdmcp is the X Display Manger Control Protocol -- look at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ to find out how to configure it | 23:29 |
| zoredache | ramb0: Yes it is possible, but I haven't done it... I know that there are docs on the ltsp portion of the wiki | 23:29 |
| zoredache | !ltsp | 23:29 |
| ubottu | LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project | 23:29 |
| Maxwe | So knome/zoredache: any better ideas? :P | 23:30 |
| knome | Maxwe, try to contact the developer about this bug? :P | 23:30 |
| Maxwe | There isn't just some easy way to dowgrade? | 23:31 |
| knome | no. | 23:31 |
| Maxwe | Well that's really inefficiently designed then. | 23:32 |
| ramb0 | thankyou very much. | 23:32 |
| zoredache | Maxwe: can you point to any other major OS that allows easy downgrading from a major update? | 23:32 |
| knome | Maxwe, there is a reason why you can't downgrade. | 23:32 |
| zoredache | osx, doesn't, windows doesn't.... | 23:32 |
| Maxwe | True. | 23:33 |
| Maxwe | But when one upgrades in windoze, things still work. | 23:33 |
| knome | Maxwe, not *all* the apps. | 23:33 |
| Maxwe | Dude...I ran windoze for YEARS. | 23:33 |
| knome | Maxwe, dude, so did i. | 23:33 |
| Maxwe | I'm about to finish year one on Xubuntu. | 23:33 |
| Maxwe | But I cannot recall ever having any big problems like this with windoze. | 23:33 |
| zoredache | Maxwe: my experience strongly disagrees.... (I doen tech support for windows for years) | 23:34 |
| Maxwe | The only drawbacks were the billions of viruses, malware, and other shit. | 23:34 |
| SiDi | Maxwe, since when can windows upgrade ? | 23:34 |
| Maxwe | You can install over a windoze system. | 23:34 |
| knome | Maxwe, it's day two after release. sooner or later that bug will be fixed. | 23:34 |
| SiDi | install over, yes. upgrade from win a to win b, no | 23:34 |
| knome | Maxwe, and it's not actually ubuntu's fault that the app doesn't work. | 23:34 |
| Maxwe | True. | 23:34 |
| Maxwe | Still though, why should it make a difference? | 23:35 |
| Maxwe | Do they edit it THAT much every release? | 23:35 |
| Maxwe | Do they totally rebuild the kernal or something? | 23:35 |
| Maxwe | kernel* | 23:35 |
| SiDi | They edit *a lot* of things every release. They don't only add 2 lines to their kernel | 23:35 |
| zoredache | Maxwe: dependancies... the application must depend on versions of libraries that have been changed | 23:35 |
| knome | no, but seemingly the app creator wants to keep that bizarre check on. | 23:35 |
| SiDi | alec-xubuntu, you mean the "update-manager" ? | 23:36 |
| alec-xubuntu | Sidi ... oh dear, that sounds highly likely | 23:36 |
| zoredache | it might be possible to simply setup the application in virtualbox or to build a intrepid chroot to run the app from | 23:36 |
| alec-xubuntu | Sidi thanks, this is precisely what i was after | 23:37 |
| SiDi | alec-xubuntu, :) | 23:37 |
| mib_i83nzjng | hello, xubuntu noob here | 23:37 |
| SiDi | hello mib_i83nzjng | 23:37 |
| mib_i83nzjng | i seem to have broken my xubuntu somehow | 23:37 |
| zoredache | mib_i83nzjng: we need specifics... what happened, what is broke, what have you tried.... | 23:38 |
| SiDi | rebooting x | 23:38 |
| SiDi | oh, btw, whats the package that puts the "kill x" shortcut back ? | 23:39 |
| mib_i83nzjng | when i try to start my computer i get an error message like system tray not found | 23:39 |
| mib_i83nzjng | i don't see any panels anymore | 23:39 |
| mib_i83nzjng | all i see is my desktop | 23:40 |
| knome | mib_i83nzjng, alt+f2 > xfce4-panel | 23:40 |
| mib_i83nzjng | so i'm unable to start any apps or anything | 23:40 |
| mib_i83nzjng | lemme go try | 23:40 |
| mib_i83nzjng | brb | 23:41 |
| SiDi | Shortcuts still not working :( what did i miss :( | 23:43 |
| Maxwe | ; | 23:43 |
| mib_i83nzjng | oh sweet! there is a panel now! thankyou thankyou | 23:44 |
| knome | mib_i83nzjng, np. | 23:44 |
| mib_i83nzjng | may i also ask, what's the best way to terminate an unresponsive app? | 23:45 |
| knome | mib_i83nzjng, xkill. i'm not sure if ctrl+esc was the default shortcut for it. | 23:46 |
| SiDi | I think it was ctrl+Alt+escape | 23:46 |
| SiDi | hard to check right now though :D | 23:46 |
| knome | highlt possible. | 23:46 |
| mib_i83nzjng | ahh i see, ctl-alt-escape seems to be it | 23:49 |
| mib_i83nzjng | thanks again everyone for the help! | 23:49 |
| mib_i83nzjng | bye! | 23:49 |
| Maxwe | Okay, never mind. | 23:53 |
| Maxwe | Problem solved, thank you people. | 23:53 |
| Maxwe | Everything works, life is good. | 23:53 |
| Maxwe | Xubuntu is the shit. | 23:53 |
| Maxwe | w00t. | 23:53 |
| basajaun | lol | 23:54 |
| SiDi | Someone minds banning his nickname ? ><' | 23:54 |
| zoredache | who, wha? | 23:55 |
| SiDi | <Maxwe> Xubuntu is the shit. | 23:55 |
| zoredache | he wasn't registered... there really wouldn't be much point... plus, he meant that it was good | 23:56 |
| SiDi | Meh. | 23:56 |
| zoredache | it is slightly offensive, but I doubt he will be back, and if he is, I suspect a simple warning would discourage his choice of language.... | 23:57 |
| SiDi | you're right. | 23:57 |
