| zerothis | is is possible to create a link or symlink that anyone can run but only root can delete? | 00:16 |
| charlie-tca | yes, should be able to make it executable by other but owned by root | 00:17 |
| zerothis | I've created a link owned by root, but I am able to delete is as a user. a symlink is the same. Is it possible that my usr is root? because there exists a separate root user | 00:21 |
| charlie-tca | permissions should be owned by root, in group root, only executable by other | 00:22 |
| zerothis | I think I did that chown root:root , chmod 644 , chmod +x | 00:24 |
| Feisar | I just installed 9.04 and my rt2500 wifi card still connects at 1mb/s - 8.04 and 8.10 both did this, does anyone know if this going to be fixed? | 00:25 |
| SiDi | Finally \o/ | 00:32 |
| * SiDi now officially uses gnome-keybinding and gnome-settings-daemon. | 00:32 | |
| knome | :P | 00:32 |
| SiDi | :p | 00:32 |
| knome | where's the official announcement notes? | 00:33 |
| SiDi | I would post it to my blag, but i don't have any. | 00:33 |
| knome | duh. | 00:33 |
| SiDi | Honnestly, i'm very disappointed by this shortcut problem. It doesnt come from the migration script as even after wiping out the current shortcuts and reinstalling xfce's core packages it was still happening | 00:34 |
| knome | mmh. | 00:34 |
| SiDi | and it didnt happen at all in my jaunty rc testing distro | 00:34 |
| SiDi | I really really don't understand what went wrong, but it was bad. I just hope i'll hold till karmic:P | 00:34 |
| * knome farts loudly and asks to whine to xfce developers :P | 00:35 | |
| SiDi | I spotted an interesting message on a debian bug tracker mailing list, related to exactly the same problem | 00:35 |
| SiDi | i'm gonna check this out later | 00:35 |
| knome | right | 00:35 |
| SiDi | knome, how is the finnish translation in jaunty ? | 00:38 |
| SiDi | It seems we had a lot of regressions in french :/ | 00:38 |
| knome | i have no idea about the finnish translation. | 00:38 |
| SiDi | you're using it in english ? :P | 00:39 |
| knome | sure. | 00:39 |
| knome | always. | 00:39 |
| knome | http://ihasahotdog.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/funny-dog-pictures-this-dog-has-two-bones.jpg | 00:40 |
| SiDi | xD | 00:41 |
| BSE | I am using english as well | 00:41 |
| SiDi | Thats so true | 00:41 |
| BSE | if you can use english version, there is no reason to use translated one. maybe to be helpful in translation process [for example bug reports] | 00:43 |
| kora | hi im using xubuntu 8.10, what do i need to do, in order to make my action buttons or the quit button in the menu popup the shut down prompt? everytime i click quit, it just quits the session and im in gdm, any idea? | 01:05 |
| SiDi | kora, Apps -> Xfce settings -> Session & boot -> Check the checkbox 'prompt what to do when i click the quit button' | 01:13 |
| SiDi | (translation IS approximative :p) | 01:13 |
| kora | SiDi: thanks a lot wonder how that disappeared ^^ | 01:15 |
| SiDi | kora, you're welcome | 01:15 |
| arrrghhh | what's the applet to control the volume in xfce? | 02:04 |
| arrrghhh | i had it in my startup before the jaunty update, and it's gone again. | 02:05 |
| charlie-tca | xfce4-mixer ? | 02:05 |
| arrrghhh | charlie-tca, that looks like it'll control the volume... hrm i wonder if i was using a gnome app before. it integrated nicely next to the network manager. | 02:06 |
| charlie-tca | On the panel, just right-click the panel, left-click add to panel, add "volume control" | 02:06 |
| arrrghhh | der | 02:07 |
| arrrghhh | thanks! | 02:07 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 02:07 |
| arrrghhh | dunno why i never think of that. damn work keeps putting my mindset to windows! | 02:07 |
| charlie-tca | yeah, work does tend to get in the way... | 02:08 |
| arrrghhh | i mean we run netware and linux for pretty much all our servers, but every desktop is windows. i don't see this changing at all. especially when we finally migrate off of edirectory. | 02:09 |
| arrrghhh | and pretty much all my support is desktop-based. rarely do i get to build or work with server. | 02:09 |
| arrrghhh | ah well, i'm out. thanks! | 02:12 |

| charlie-tca | retour: I do it the same way I have since hardy 8.04, using network-manager-applet in the panel | 02:21 |
| evilbug | if i update my system now will the update take a long time? | 03:16 |
| MTec007 | after upgrading to 9.04 firefox does not save any changed made to preferences or bookmarks. what do i do to allow these changes to be saved? | 03:49 |

| igor1121 | Good evening. I have a question. I just upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 on my Lenovo T60p laptop. Now when I boot up the system seems to boot fine until X.org start at which point the screen is garbled and the machine seems frozen. When this happens I cannot switch to a different virtual console and the machine does not respond to CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE. Any ideas on what to do? | 03:57 |
| igor1121 | BTW, I switched to using vesa driver in xorg.conf and it's still the same result. It's not a hardware issue since the livecd works fine. | 03:58 |

| The-Kernel | I have a bit of a problem, when trying to burn a 7.5 gig ISO to a dvd, it says it wont fit...even though I got the ISO from a DVD... | 05:08 |
| The-Kernel | what's a program that can write it to the disc? | 05:09 |
| R1cochet | how big is the disc? | 05:14 |
| The-Kernel | 4.7 | 05:15 |
| R1cochet | theres your problem | 05:15 |
| The-Kernel | but the ISO came off a 4.7 gig disc... | 05:15 |
| R1cochet | u sure | 05:15 |
| R1cochet | and how did u rip it? | 05:15 |
| The-Kernel | KB3 | 05:16 |
| R1cochet | u sure the original was only 4.7? | 05:17 |
| zoredache_ | why do you think it was only 4.7gb? | 05:18 |
| The-Kernel | Yeah, because it came off of a DVD+R that was only 4.7 to begin with | 05:18 |
| R1cochet | then y not copy the disc? | 05:19 |
| The-Kernel | I don't have it anymore :( | 05:20 |
| The-Kernel | I made a backup of it onto my HDD just in case it went away | 05:20 |
| The-Kernel | now that it has, I can't get it back on a disc! | 05:20 |
| R1cochet | mount the iso and grab what u need | 05:21 |
| The-Kernel | its a video | 05:22 |
| R1cochet | u can use "gmount-iso" for gui | 05:22 |
| zoredache_ | how did you make a backup? | 05:23 |
| === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache | ||
| zoredache | 05:24 | |
| The-Kernel | What I did was select Copy DVD, the source was the DVD, the destination was into an ISO | 05:24 |
| The-Kernel | I used Brasero's to do that though... | 05:25 |
| The-Kernel | another question, any program that could take an avi video file, and burn in onto a DVD but be playable via a DVD player? | 05:26 |
| R1cochet | yea | 05:27 |
| R1cochet | DeVeDe | 05:28 |
| R1cochet | but i usually make svcd w/ it. it can do a dvd tho | 05:28 |
| genii | Transcoding usually takes a while... | 05:29 |

| Slonkie | Anyone have any idea how to add an network printer in xubuntu? | 10:01 |
| solotim | hello, all, quick question: How can upgrade to 9.04 from 8.04? except burning cd and reinstall. | 11:16 |
| Slonkie | did you try to run the update-manager ? | 11:18 |
| Slonkie | I think it'll tell you that an update is available! | 11:18 |
| solotim | Slonkie, yes, I want this way, but it does not tell me any new infomation | 11:21 |
| Slonkie | sec then | 11:21 |
| solotim | I turned something off before? | 11:21 |
| Slonkie | no idea | 11:22 |
| solotim | :) 3x | 11:22 |
| Slonkie | i can't seem to navigate on the xubuntu website | 11:22 |
| Slonkie | i know it's in the docs because i translated it once, but i can't find the damn docs anywhere lol | 11:22 |
| solotim | neither by google? | 11:23 |
| solotim | search the title? | 11:23 |
| Slonkie | ehm | 11:24 |
| Slonkie | well i found it now | 11:24 |
| Slonkie | but it should tell you in the top of the update-manager that an upgrade is available | 11:24 |
| Slonkie | or not.. | 11:24 |
| Slonkie | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JauntyUpgrades see this link, solotim! | 11:25 |
| solotim | yes, it should, I have upgraded last year. | 11:25 |
| Slonkie | Sorry for all this confusing talk, i'm new at using xubuntu | 11:25 |
| solotim | maybe it's due to my 8.04 , not 8.10 | 11:25 |
| Slonkie | oh! you'll have to upgrade to 8.10 and then 9.04 | 11:25 |
| solotim | no, not confusing, :) | 11:25 |
| Slonkie | you can't do 8.04 -> 9.04 | 11:26 |
| solotim | yes, I think so, but now, I can't see "8.04->8.09" button now | 11:26 |
| solotim | 8.10 | 11:26 |
| solotim | sorry | 11:26 |
| Slonkie | try typing update-manger -d in terminal | 11:27 |

| Slonkie | I like it | 11:50 |
| Slonkie | I don't know how fast it is.. how can one explain? | 11:51 |
| Slonkie | I think it's fast, but you might think something else. :) | 11:51 |
| nareshpunia | my system configuraton is p4 - 2.4 Ghz, 256 MB, 40 GB hard disk | 11:51 |
| nareshpunia | will it work fine or increase ram | 11:51 |
| Slonkie | I'd say it'll work fine | 11:51 |
| nareshpunia | how much difference is between Ubuntu and Xubuntu | 11:52 |
| Slonkie | xfce is more lightweight than gnome | 11:53 |
| nareshpunia | speciallly in Networking with other Windows XP pcs | 11:53 |
| nareshpunia | yea I heard about it | 11:53 |
| Slonkie | I must say so far i haven't been able to connect to my windows share | 11:53 |
| Slonkie | I might be doing something wrong tho | 11:53 |
| nareshpunia | but Ubuntu does it in default config | 11:54 |
| Slonkie | all right | 11:54 |
| nareshpunia | because my hardware configuration is so old that I should switch to Xubuntu | 11:55 |
| nareshpunia | ok I will give a try and get back to this IRC again | 11:55 |
| nareshpunia | thanks | 11:55 |
| nareshpunia | and bye | 11:55 |

| Slonkie | Anyone have any idea how to add an network printer in xubuntu? | 12:15 |
| solotim | hi, Slonkie, you can't access winXP box in you local network? | 12:27 |
| Slonkie | No so far i haven't been able to connect to my windows share | 12:27 |
| solotim | wait a miniute, I share you something | 12:27 |
| Slonkie | Cool | 12:27 |
| solotim | mount.cifs //192.168.0.102/'c$' /media/Bing_C -o username=XXX,password=XXX,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 | 12:29 |
| solotim | as long as you can ping the winxp pc, you can mount its partition onto your xubuntu | 12:29 |
| Slonkie | so.. what's 'c$' ? | 12:31 |
| Slonkie | the foldername? | 12:31 |
| solotim | no, you windows C:\ | 12:32 |
| Slonkie | I diden't share whole C:\ | 12:32 |
| solotim | oh, then you can subsitute the 'c$' to the shared folder name | 12:33 |
| Slonkie | and i ain't got no password on my xp either | 12:33 |
| Slonkie | Should i just leave XXX ? | 12:33 |
| solotim | no, no | 12:33 |
| solotim | it's should be the username/pwd of you windows login | 12:33 |
| Slonkie | I don't have it password protected. | 12:33 |
| solotim | wow | 12:33 |
| solotim | it's unsafe anyway | 12:34 |
| solotim | try to use password. | 12:34 |
| Slonkie | It's not unsafe in local network lol | 12:34 |
| solotim | or you can use "administrator" t | 12:34 |
| solotim | maybe use your normal username, and leave the password blank | 12:35 |
| solotim | I am not something on this issue, but the command I offered works for me, and I create a script upon it. | 12:35 |
| Slonkie | doesn't work for me | 12:49 |
| Slonkie | Anyone have any idea how to add an network printer in xubuntu? | 12:50 |

| floating | just installed xubuntu yesterday, kinda find it loading the cpu alot. im running a mp3 playlist with shorter than 1 minute tracks, and have a firefox window and a gnome-system-monitor mainly running. the processor is at 60-90% constantly, and my fans are keeping more noise than i have ever heard on windows xp | 14:15 |
| floating | why is cpu loading the processor when i dont have really anything happening in them | 14:19 |
| floating | i mean firefox | 14:20 |
| floating | ok, having ff tabs with some javascript loads it, but still closing those this is more demanding | 14:22 |
| floating | +fancy | 14:22 |
| Feisar | floating: type 'top' in a terminal and see what is taking up the cpu usage | 14:23 |
| floating | the gnome-system-manager shows these too, (except for xorg which takes around 10-15%) | 14:25 |
| floating | im looking for a system monitor tool that also shows some temperatures | 14:28 |

| mogul218_ | are you connecting wirelessly or via ethernet? | 15:21 |

| mogul218_ | retour go to system->administration->hardware drivers and make sure you don't need to activate a non propietary driver | 15:27 |
| retour | mogul218_, Thank You! | 15:28 |

| mogul218_ | retour no problem glad i could help | 15:29 |
| cheryl | I am a noob, can someone help me get an awe32 working? | 15:30 |
| cheryl | Thanks anyway | 15:31 |
| retour | mogul218_, hmmm not that easy - the only one I see there is already active NVidia driver - nothing about my old Intel net card | 15:31 |
| retour | cheryl, AWE32 PCI or ISA? | 15:32 |
| cheryl | I think it is PCI | 15:32 |
| cheryl | let me look, thanks for the help | 15:32 |
| retour | cheryl - what CPU? | 15:33 |
| mogul218_ | retour is your ethernet on board or on a card? | 15:33 |
| cheryl | intel deshutes, PCI | 15:33 |
| retour | mogul218_, PCI card, network works fines - using it right now - only this net applet is totally blind | 15:36 |
| retour | cheryl, whats your problem? is your AWE visible in the system hardware? | 15:37 |
| cheryl | no, gstreamer says no sound hardware available | 15:38 |
| mogul218_ | retour i'm going to switch to xfce desktop to see if i can see what you are talking about....are you referring to the default xubuntu network applet? | 15:38 |
| retour | mogul218_, Yes! the one on the top taskbar - top right corner | 15:40 |
| retour | and nothing else under Xubuntu default installed apps to access net config. And I've forgot all the commands from ifconfig if remember well | 15:41 |
| cheryl | retour- Is there a GUI way to install hardware or do I have use terminal? | 15:41 |
| retour | cheryl, do you see your audio card after "alsamixer" in the terminal? | 15:45 |
| cheryl | do I just type that in terminal? | 15:46 |
| retour | yes | 15:46 |
| cheryl | ok | 15:46 |
| retour | alsamixer + enter | 15:46 |

| cheryl | that is what came back in terminal | 15:48 |
| retour | hmm not good. I hope someone can help you. You have hardware problem. I use SB Live and in past 10 years of using linux never had audio hardware detection issues. Are you sure it is not on shared IRQ? | 15:49 |
| cheryl | Don't know how to tell that in ubuntu. The motherboard is plug and play compatible. I am scrounging parts an OS for poor friend. | 15:50 |
| floating | how do i know if the xubuntu install has installed good drivers for my integrated graphics card ? | 15:53 |
| retour | cheryl you can check it during boot when BIOS is listing all the data. Press Pause/Break to stop it and see if you have 2 devices using same IRQ | 15:53 |
| cheryl | Thanks for the help, I will check that. | 15:53 |
| retour | floating, if it works its good enoug BUT if you are a gamer and going for max performance you may like to install proprietary driver | 15:54 |
| Slonkie | Anyone have any idea how to add an network printer in xubuntu? | 15:54 |
| retour | Slonkie, what type of a printer? Connected via USB to other PC in the LAN? | 15:56 |

| Slonkie | Yea | 15:58 |
| retour | Slonkie, well so I think just set it up properly in CUPS | 15:59 |
| Slonkie | i have no idea how to setup anything i cups | 15:59 |
| Slonkie | Is there a gui for this? | 15:59 |

| floating | retour: it is this dell computer, but i cant find the info from here http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/opgx260/en/ug/index.htm | 16:02 |

| retour | floating, I'm afraid that you computer has an onboard glraphic chip instead of independent full video card - but let me check your link | 16:04 |
| retour | Slonkie, I would rather manually configure your linksys device and than input this value to the CUPS print server | 16:05 |
| Slonkie | it is configured allready | 16:06 |
| Slonkie | And i can't manually configure it. | 16:06 |
| floating | yeah its onboard. on windows xp, i can install graphics drivers for the motherboard, which for example makes the youtube videos run smoothly. now on xubuntu, the videos are a dia show, just as they were on win xp prior the installation of those motherboards graphics drivers | 16:07 |
| Slonkie | Can one stop an downloading of a package? | 16:08 |
| retour | floating, Your video is just a part of the chipset Intel 845G - Research data about this chipset - graphic part but If I remember well it was designed for cheap office puters so dont expect too much. But research I may be wrong. In case I'm not you can always buy for few bucks old AGP graphics card | 16:10 |
| retour | Slonkie, If it's configure already read it's config or manual etc until than it;s just a black box for you | 16:11 |
| Slonkie | Lol | 16:11 |
| Slonkie | Will be scanning my network in windows then. | 16:12 |
| retour | sure | 16:12 |
| retour | Slonkie, what type/model I want to check on it | 16:12 |
| Slonkie | I don't know | 16:12 |
| Slonkie | It's at my school i'm not in charge of it | 16:12 |
| floating | oki, ill check abit later:) | 16:12 |
| retour | floating, I would Google "Intel845G Xubuntu drivers/problems" | 16:13 |
| retour | Slonkie, HAXOR hehehe | 16:13 |
| floating | okthx, i get back to it after finland has beaten norway in hockey | 16:14 |
| retour | floating, haha OK don drink too much to celebrate it | 16:15 |
| cheryl | retour- I got it working, had to add the user in terminal, Apparantly that is necessary with latest version. | 16:17 |
| cheryl | Thanks so much for you help. | 16:18 |
| retour | cheryl, wait | 16:18 |
| cheryl | ok? | 16:19 |
| retour | How adding a user helps detecting audio hardware? Your old user didn't have enough privilidges??? | 16:19 |
| cheryl | Hang on I will find the command again. | 16:19 |
| cheryl | "sudo adduser x audio" then rebooted | 16:21 |
| cheryl | got info at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/HardwareSupportComponentsSoundCardsCreativeLabs | 16:22 |
| cheryl | Now if I can just get my intel i740 graphics card to go to high def mode. | 16:24 |
| cheryl | I replace x with the account name i am using. | 16:24 |
| retour | cheryl, Ahh OK so your user was not allowed to use it - whacky! Google for it but don't expect stellar performance for in chipset graphic module. | 16:28 |
| cheryl | Do you know how I can increase the resolution on my i740 graphic card? | 16:30 |
| cheryl | The user issue is probably because I am auto logging the account in. | 16:32 |
| retour | cheryl, you need to have latest available drivers for it to get max. Are you in XFCE now? | 16:34 |
| cheryl | LOL, I think so. | 16:35 |
| cheryl | I downloaded the xbuntu iso last nite. This computer was loaded from it. I would think that the driver would be there. | 16:37 |
| retour | cheryl, so how about using XFCE graphics settings? | 16:39 |
| lakis1982 | hello ... i upgraded the xubuntu 8.10 to xubuntu 9 jaunty ... i have a keyboard that has some multimedia keys ..... the problem is that since i upgraded xubuntu the two buttons for incresing decreasing volume of system, do not work anymore... they do not respond.. does anyone know why ??? any solutions ??? | 16:40 |
| retour | Applications/settings/Display? No go? | 16:40 |
| cheryl | 800x600 is as high as it will go @ 60 | 16:42 |
| retour | cheryl, OK so you have to manually edit X11 config | 16:43 |
| retour | /etc/X11 if I still remember it well | 16:44 |
| cheryl | How do I do that? LOL | 16:44 |
| cheryl | Is that the command? | 16:44 |
| retour | it's a bit tricky since I don't know if your chipset requires linemode or not | 16:44 |
| retour | cheryl, it's a file with detailed description for all the parameters for your video card | 16:45 |
| retour | you have to google for it. Make backup of your original config file in case something goes wrong and after reboot you will only have console mode | 16:45 |
| NTFS | YOU CANT SEE ME | 16:46 |
| cheryl | google for /etc/x11? | 16:46 |
| retour | cheryl, I use MC to navigate to folders and than edit file (F4) | 16:47 |
| retour | cheryl, Google for "i740 chipset X11 / config etc" | 16:47 |
| retour | cheryl, the file is /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 16:48 |
| retour | ok be back later - have luck | 16:49 |
| cheryl | ok, ok, thanks | 16:49 |

| topsyandpip56 | Hello | 17:36 |
| topsyandpip56 | Anyone? | 17:36 |
| floating | hmm, how can i see what video driver im using ? my /etc/X11/xorg.conf seem to be empty o.O | 17:53 |
| Besogon | What number have you got operational system? (8.10 or 9.04 or something else?) | 17:56 |
| floating | jaunty jackalope 9.04 | 17:58 |
| Besogon | I hear many options you can find in reestr. (May be them put it in reestr in xubuntu, I dont know) | 18:02 |
| Besogon | Like in Windows. | 18:02 |
| knome | reestr? | 18:03 |
| Besogon | It in my language. I try to explain | 18:05 |
| Besogon | In windows you type REGEDIT for open it | 18:05 |
| floating | oh, there was a "hardware drivers" in the xfce menu. although when i open it, it doesnt find any drivers | 18:06 |
| Besogon | Then you use OPEN DRIVER | 18:07 |
| Besogon | What have you got graphics card? (nvidia, ati, intel) | 18:08 |
| floating | i would like to try some other driver for my Intel 845G onboard graphic card. when i google something, i get some old info on xorg.conf, but xorg.conf is empty | 18:08 |
| floating | when i typed: sudo lshw -c display, i get : description: VGA compatible controller | 18:10 |
| keonne | Hello | 18:10 |
| floating | product: 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device | 18:10 |
| floating | and some more info0 | 18:10 |
| keonne | Im trying to do a clean install over my xubuntu 8.04 of Ubuntu 9.04 | 18:11 |
| keonne | when I try to install it fails to launch the GUI and goes into terminal | 18:11 |
| keonne | I know the CD works because I used it just before on another computer | 18:11 |
| keonne | i?s there a way to install 9.04 from the command line | 18:12 |
| glitsj16 | floating: "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep driver" might produce some more info on the X driver presently in use | 18:12 |
| Besogon | floating, xorg.conf work like in old version UBUNTU, you can use old "how to". | 18:13 |
| The-Kernel | none of the intrepid sources are resolving... | 18:13 |
| The-Kernel | anything going on? | 18:13 |
| The-Kernel | uh | 18:13 |
| The-Kernel | nevermind | 18:13 |
| floating | someone says in yahoo http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081204201509AAERoWO "The intel drivers are all built right into the Linux kernel." .... but am i using an open driver, or vga compatible controller ? and can i try some other driver and how | 18:14 |
| floating | Besogon: i can add things to my empty xorg.conf ? | 18:15 |
| knome | floating, sure. | 18:15 |
| Besogon | floating, sorry, I have worked only with nvidia. Why not? Just do backup your xorg.conf file | 18:16 |
| floating | ok. I just dont know where i can find the alternative driver :I the command glitsj16 gives more detailed info on .so files associated etc^^ ...hmm, i just dont know how i'd proceed now | 18:17 |
| floating | i know this is a poor graphics device, but its usable on win xp, while on linux it is not exactly usable. when i put a youtube video on full screen, it is a dia show | 18:18 |
| knome | floating, have you tried jockey? | 18:19 |
| floating | no | 18:19 |
| Besogon | Is dia mean Defense Intelligence Agency? huh | 18:22 |
| knome | !ot | Besogon | 18:22 |
| ubottu | Besogon: #xubuntu is the Xubuntu support channel, #xubuntu-devel for discussion regarding development of Xubuntu, and #xubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 18:22 |
| floating | lol no. it means the video is not watchable, the fps is <5 | 18:22 |
| Besogon | floating, did you install flash player? May be it's stupid quastion../ | 18:25 |
| glitsj16 | floating: are you on jaunty ? | 18:25 |
| Besogon | glitsj16, yes he is on jainty. | 18:26 |
| floating | yeah on jaunty. i installed the xubuntu-restricted-extras that installed flash, im not exactly sure which flash it uses, didnt see details | 18:26 |
| floating | but thats a good point, i could try some other flash | 18:27 |
| floating | there was some gnash and some other options | 18:28 |
| glitsj16 | Besogon: thanks .. floating: there are some known performance issues on jaunty with Intel graphics cards, take a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904#Performance%20regressions%20on%20Intel%20graphics%20cards for some things you can try to improve things | 18:28 |
| floating | i sdaw | 18:28 |
| floating | glitsj16: so if i want to edit those things to the device section in xorg.conf, do i just add a lonely device section to my empty xorg.conf file ? | 18:31 |
| glitsj16 | floating: yes that should be picked up by X correct | 18:33 |
| floating | i read some people wondering why some other have empty xorg.conf, and they suggest running sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 18:36 |
| floating | hmm, maybe i could try that too ? | 18:36 |
| glitsj16 | floating: worth a try i guess yes | 18:38 |
| floating | trying to revert with this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReinhardTartler/X/RevertingIntelDriverTo2.4 , but i dont get the instructions on the launchpad page on how to add GPG key :( | 19:09 |
| floating | there are info on validating own keys and adding keys. or about adding there is a link to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto | 19:13 |
| floating | but that page starts to talk about "generating pgp key" | 19:14 |

| ron_o | any ideas where it could be? | 19:19 |
| ron_o | for Opera, I've checked the temporary download file. | 19:20 |
| ron_o | and the cache file.. | 19:21 |
| ron_o | hmm. | 19:21 |

| artistxe | hope that ppl are alive today :) | 19:28 |
| artistxe | just updated to 9.04 and I am curious. is there a way to utilize xfce 4.6 without an upgrade. ? | 19:29 |
| ron_o | that reminds me. I've got to upgrade to 8.04. :) | 19:30 |
| artistxe | I may end up reverting due to lack of support for my (ahem) ati card. | 19:30 |
| ron_o | reverting? | 19:30 |
| ron_o | how so? | 19:30 |
| ron_o | just reinstall? | 19:30 |
| artistxe | yes. just do a complete reinstall] | 19:30 |
| ron_o | the thing is I just read an article that reminded of a way to keep everything no matter what, as long as your data is separate from your OS. | 19:31 |
| artistxe | I do. | 19:31 |
| ron_o | just copy all your data files from /home | 19:31 |
| artistxe | I keep everything in my home dir | 19:31 |
| artistxe | data that I work with that is | 19:31 |
| ron_o | and copy all the files from synaptic cache, and wallah. | 19:31 |
| ron_o | reinstall and you got it. | 19:32 |
| ron_o | hehe. easy. | 19:32 |
| Slonkie | "wallah" ?? | 19:32 |
| artistxe | but I want to do it clean. I upgraded and kept my user profiles and such. | 19:32 |
| ron_o | eventually I'll get all my /home on a separate hard drive. | 19:32 |
| artistxe | but everything is crosswired. | 19:32 |
| ron_o | Slonkie, wha? | 19:32 |
| Slonkie | nvm lol | 19:32 |
| artistxe | I experimented too much with packages and dependencies | 19:32 |
| artistxe | Slonkie : "wallah" is a valid computer term. unlike the French "Viola" | 19:33 |
| artistxe | Voila rather. A Viola is a stringed instrument | 19:34 |
| Slonkie | yeah | 19:34 |
| artistxe | ____ a closed mouth gathers no feet | 19:34 |
| ron_o | anyways, I think I'll try an upgrade today... 8.04 should be pretty safe. :) | 19:34 |
| ron_o | hehe: feet. | 19:35 |
| ron_o | feat? | 19:35 |
| artistxe | uh. 8.10 is too scary for you ? | 19:35 |
| floating | glitsj16: seems like none of the methods http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904#Performance%20regressions%20on%20Intel%20graphics%20cards helped.. too bad :/ maytbe i just try the gnash and if it doesnt help, i will have to go use windows | 19:36 |
| ron_o | maybe it's 8.10. Don't know. It depends on what the upgrader allows me to go to. | 19:36 |
| glitsj16 | floating: too bad indeed, why not fall back to xubuntu 8.10 for a few weeks untill the Intel graphics issue gets solved in 9.04 ? Goodluck :) | 19:37 |
| ron_o | it's 8.10.. yah. | 19:37 |
| artistxe | ron_o : the update manager may point you towards 9.04 | 19:37 |
| ron_o | no, it doesn't. I just checked. | 19:37 |
| artistxe | 8.10 . that's it ? | 19:38 |
| ron_o | yah.. | 19:38 |
| ron_o | I like being behind anyways. | 19:38 |
| ron_o | I don't do much, but right now I'd like it if I could get sound to my TV through my HDMI cable. | 19:38 |
| artistxe | if it works then don't change it maybe | 19:38 |
| ron_o | that's really the only reason why I need to upgrade as it is. | 19:38 |
| artistxe | ron_o, it is not your only OS. is it ? | 19:39 |
| ron_o | what? | 19:39 |
| * artistxe recommends everyone has a version of Puppy somewhere :) | 19:39 | |
| ron_o | ahh, yes. I do. | 19:39 |
| ron_o | I have many live CDs. | 19:40 |
| artistxe | ron_o, is it your only operating system installed ? | 19:40 |
| artistxe | xubuntu ? | 19:40 |
| ron_o | installed, yes... but not liveCDs. | 19:40 |
| ron_o | I have other computers around if need be, if things go way too awry. | 19:40 |
| artistxe | oh. well maybe you will have to rely on one of those cds one day to do a recovery | 19:40 |
| ron_o | exactly. I've used them before. | 19:41 |
| artistxe | anyway. I am off for a bit. nice chatting with you | 19:41 |
| ron_o | well for recovery knoppix is all anyone would ever need. | 19:41 |
| ron_o | cya. | 19:41 |
| gorgut | hey folks. I'm trying to get my volume/mute keys to work on my Dell Latitude D600 laptop. I just did a fresh install of Jaunty. showkey sees the keypresses and apparently they're mapped to "XF86AudioLowerVolume" etc but they don't actually DO anything. Any ideas? | 20:01 |
| Slonkie | gorgut did you try adding the shortcuts in keyboard settings? | 20:09 |
| gorgut | Slonkie, i went into they keyboard settings and added them as shortcuts, but I'm not sure what to put as the command.? | 20:09 |
| gorgut | Slonkie, i added them as shortcuts to test their mapping, rather | 20:10 |
| Slonkie | all right | 20:10 |
| Slonkie | aumix -v-10 to decrease sound | 20:10 |
| Slonkie | aumix -v+10 to increase sound | 20:11 |
| Slonkie | aumix -v0 to mute | 20:11 |
| gorgut | Slonkie, brilliant. Thank you very much :D | 20:12 |
| Slonkie | heh no problem, your only number 3 today with that problem ;) | 20:13 |

| cheryl_ | hello | 20:40 |
| Slonkie | I'm trying to install amarok 1.4.10 but it tells me i need "the x headers", anyone know how i get these? | 20:42 |
| Mood | 9.04's new xfce removed the volume control from the panel -- how do i get it back? | 21:20 |
| Slonkie | Right click -> add -> mixer ? | 21:29 |
| Mood | Slonkie: this mixer seems like a different app from the prior version of xfce -- there was a little vertical bar that controlled volume ... what app was that called? | 21:30 |
| ron_o | actually, add 'volume control.. | 21:32 |
| ron_o | I keep losing volume control on my panel all the time. | 21:33 |
| ron_o | don't know why. | 21:33 |
| ron_o | just have to readd it all the time. | 21:33 |
| ron_o | actually, I do know why. Ran panel in terminal.... | 21:33 |
| Mood | what is the volume control app called? | 21:33 |
| ron_o | volume control.. | 21:33 |
| Mood | where do you see that under "add new items"? | 21:34 |
| ron_o | under volume? | 21:34 |
| Mood | ron_o: what version of xubuntu are you running? | 21:35 |
| ron_o | 8.04 | 21:35 |
| Mood | there is no 8.04 | 21:35 |
| Mood | 8.10 or 9.04 | 21:35 |
| Slonkie | 8.04 was the version before 8.10 | 21:35 |
| Mood | hmm.... Slonkie- do you have volume? | 21:35 |
| Mood | under add new items? | 21:36 |
| Slonkie | No, i'm using Mixer | 21:36 |
| Mood | i don't think 9.04 has volume controls separately from mixer | 21:36 |
| Mood | :-( | 21:36 |
| Slonkie | i basicly only use it to see how much volume is on, to turn it up/down i use media buttons on my laptop | 21:36 |
| basajaun | hi all | 21:36 |
| Slonkie | !hi | basajaun | 21:36 |
| ubottu | basajaun: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! | 21:36 |
| basajaun | drive permissions erratic in 9.04 but what a nice job of a version!!! | 21:38 |
| ron_o | Mood, that sucks. | 21:38 |
| ron_o | how about using some gnome panel app.. | 21:38 |
| Mood | ron_o: yeah. ah well :-s maybe i should downgrade to 8.04 like you did | 21:39 |
| ron_o | or maybe you can download it separarely.. check. | 21:39 |
| ron_o | I never upgraded. | 21:39 |
| basajaun | 8.10 was easy all drive were immediately usable this is a nightmare | 21:39 |
| ron_o | do a synaptic search for it. | 21:39 |
| ron_o | I'm sure it's there. | 21:39 |
| Mood | ron_o: good idea | 21:39 |
| ron_o | it would be stupid not to be. | 21:40 |
| ron_o | plus there's some app that you can run all gnome applets on a xubuntu panel. So, you'll find something. | 21:40 |
| ron_o | good to know. No way would I upgrade if that were the case. | 21:40 |
| ron_o | I use that function more than anything else me thinks. | 21:41 |

| ron_o | acb3, I can't. I'm still on 8.04.. it's just one reason why I stay way behind the times. | 21:44 |
| acb3 | because right at the moment I have an enormously overstuffed desktop menu | 21:44 |
| acb3 | ron_o: it works in 8.10 :-) | 21:45 |
| ron_o | yah, like 6 months ago. :) | 21:45 |
| ron_o | of course it did. | 21:45 |
| ron_o | I bet you lost your menu editor file in the upgrade. | 21:46 |
| acb3 | yup. But what _should_ it be called? | 21:46 |
| acb3 | surely I can find it and re-edit it ... my flash plugin seems also to have gone, though it is marked as installed | 21:47 |
| Slonkie | anyone in here using Jaunty and Amarok 2.0.2? | 21:49 |
| Mood | ron_o: is your volume control part of mixer? or does it look like a different app entirely? | 21:50 |
| ron_o | different app. | 21:51 |
| ron_o | it says: "Volume Control". | 21:51 |
| Mood | ron_o: faak. ok. thanks ron_o | 21:52 |
| ron_o | http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/tag/volume/ | 21:53 |
| ron_o | part of your solution. | 21:53 |
| ron_o | faak? | 21:53 |
| Mood | faak = faakkk!! :-) | 21:54 |
| ron_o | bbiab | 21:56 |
| Ultraputz | i've hit a snag -- basically, in the jaunty upgrade, it failed to update the uuid that cryptroot is assigned, and so the machine fails to boot and drops to busybox in initramfs. | 22:02 |
| SiDi | Ultraputz, you can still fix it | 22:02 |
| SiDi | its really boring but you can | 22:02 |
| Ultraputz | i hope so :-) | 22:02 |
| SiDi | i ended up in the same situation, without livecd/liveusb/other pc | 22:02 |
| Ultraputz | me too | 22:03 |
| SiDi | when you're in the initramfs console | 22:03 |
| Ultraputz | my optical disc is broken | 22:03 |
| SiDi | type mkdir potatoe | 22:03 |
| Ultraputz | so if you know the dharma, lay it on me. | 22:03 |
| SiDi | then mount /dev/sda1 potatoe (assuming your system is in sda1) | 22:03 |
| SiDi | then cd potatoe/boot/grub | 22:03 |
| SiDi | then it's gonna be tricky | 22:03 |
| SiDi | you'll cat menu.lst | 22:03 |
| SiDi | and use echo "blabla" >> menu.lst to copy each line of one boot entry LINE BY LINE | 22:03 |
| Ultraputz | ok... | 22:04 |
| SiDi | and you'll change the root=UUID=blable in root=/dev/sda1 | 22:04 |
| Ultraputz | slow down | 22:04 |
| SiDi | then you'll have the option at next boot, and it'll work | 22:04 |
| basajaun | bye all | 22:04 |
| Ultraputz | both machines have bad keyboards, and mount is not working | 22:04 |
| SiDi | go there, i'll tell you the commands accurately :) | 22:04 |
| SiDi | mount should work | 22:04 |
| SiDi | just type it till it works :P | 22:04 |
| SiDi | and try with -t ext3, too | 22:04 |
| SiDi | or ext4 if you use ext4 | 22:05 |
| Ultraputz | "mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on potatoe failed: invalid argument" | 22:05 |
| knome | lol | 22:06 |
| Ultraputz | it's an encrypted disk... | 22:06 |
| * knome broke the left armrest of his working chair | 22:06 | |
| Ultraputz | there we go | 22:06 |
| Ultraputz | i did mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/* | 22:06 |
| Ultraputz | (only one entry) | 22:06 |
| Ultraputz | SiDi -- there's nothing available initramfs that would enable a search and replace, rather than line by line echo facility, would there be > | 22:07 |
| SiDi | Ultraputz, i'm writing you a quick guide in a pastebin, sec | 22:08 |
| SiDi | Ultraputz, i tried vi/vim/nano, didnt work | 22:08 |
| Ultraputz | i get what we're doing... | 22:08 |
| Ultraputz | ok | 22:08 |
| SiDi | knome, congratz | 22:08 |
| knome | \o/ | 22:08 |
| Ultraputz | for editing, i was using echo -e "<>\n<>" > file | 22:08 |
| SiDi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/158133/ Ultraputz | 22:09 |
| SiDi | I dont know about echo's advanced syntax | 22:09 |
| SiDi | i did line by line | 22:10 |
| SiDi | and use >>, not > | 22:10 |
| SiDi | > erases the file :P | 22:10 |
| Ultraputz | \n allows a linefeed | 22:10 |
| SiDi | well, it was writing an actual \n when i tried :D | 22:10 |
| Ultraputz | echo -e, among other things, allows \n to be recognized as a linefed, so you can enter a bunch of lines on a single line and then no append necc. | 22:10 |
| SiDi | thats why i did it line by line | 22:10 |
| SiDi | thanks for the tip :) | 22:10 |
| Ultraputz | that's what echo -e fixes :-) | 22:10 |
| SiDi | ofc after you've booted with the tmp boot entry, edit your file correctly | 22:11 |
| Ultraputz | this paste bin -- brilliant approach | 22:12 |
| Ultraputz | well done, btw | 22:12 |
| SiDi | thanks :) | 22:13 |
| Slonkie | I'm trying to compile amarok, but i'm getting this error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. | 22:13 |
| Slonkie | So, check this please and use another prefix!" | 22:13 |
| Slonkie | Would anyone be able to help me with it? | 22:14 |
| SiDi | err | 22:15 |
| Ultraputz | sidi -- however, i have realized this will not fix my problem | 22:15 |
| SiDi | Ultraputz, why so ? | 22:15 |
| Ultraputz | because the problem is IN initrd.img | 22:15 |
| SiDi | oh, its not the boot entry ? | 22:15 |
| Ultraputz | no | 22:15 |
| SiDi | you compiled your kernel with the disk UUID ? Oo | 22:15 |
| Ultraputz | i did not | 22:15 |
| Ultraputz | upgrade did | 22:15 |
| SiDi | can't be :O | 22:15 |
| SiDi | try to boot on 2.6.27.11 | 22:16 |
| Ultraputz | ok | 22:16 |
| SiDi | it should still be here | 22:16 |
| Ultraputz | in conf/conf.d/cryptroot | 22:16 |
| Ultraputz | it specifies the old uuid for the disk, pre-upgrade. | 22:16 |
| Ultraputz | it changed it | 22:16 |
| Ultraputz | so whenever i restart, it fails, because it cannot find the old uuid | 22:16 |
| * SiDi really doesn't know about crypted partitions though ! | 22:16 | |
| Ultraputz | that's the problem | 22:16 |
| SiDi | that's the problem of UUIDs for partitions... | 22:16 |
| Ultraputz | what i need to know is how to actually specify the correct one to boot to to go back and fix the problem init initrd. | 22:16 |
| SiDi | there actually are less chances that your /dev change than your UUIDs | 22:17 |
| Ultraputz | i don't understand a) why it changed the uuid, and b) if so, how that was missed in testing. | 22:17 |
| SiDi | try to boot with your old 2.6.27.11 kernel | 22:17 |
| Ultraputz | i tried everything on the menu | 22:17 |
| SiDi | build a menu entry without UUID, with 2.6.27.11. Did you do this ? | 22:17 |
| J_Litews1i | ok, problem | 22:17 |
| Ultraputz | ... grub is fine | 22:17 |
| Ultraputz | it can boot the machine | 22:17 |
| Ultraputz | but it can't get past LUKS | 22:18 |
| Ultraputz | because it can't find the disk to decrypt | 22:18 |
| J_Litews1i | i screwed up, and now everytime i double click on a mousepad file, it runs sudo | 22:18 |
| Ultraputz | it's being given the wrong information by something set in the ram image | 22:18 |
| J_Litews1i | how do i fix it? | 22:18 |
| Ultraputz | right click the file and change the association | 22:18 |
| Ultraputz | right click, open with | 22:19 |
| J_Litews1i | since it freezes the X Server, and I can't kill the sudo process | 22:19 |
| Ultraputz | and change the app | 22:19 |
| J_Litews1i | ah, ok | 22:19 |
| Ultraputz | cool litewsli ? | 22:19 |
| SiDi | Ultraputz, then there's nothing i can do for you :/ | 22:19 |
| J_Litews1i | now, without killing X, how can i kill the sudo process? | 22:19 |
| Ultraputz | reboot :-) | 22:20 |
| Ultraputz | oh | 22:20 |
| Ultraputz | kill -9 | 22:20 |
| Ultraputz | ps aux | grep sudo | 22:20 |
| Ultraputz | find the proc id and kill -9 <id> | 22:20 |
| J_Litews1i | ok | 22:20 |
| Ultraputz | kill -9 is a bad habit, btw :-) | 22:20 |
| Ultraputz | Sidi -- thanks anyway -- your pastebin should be posted at ubuntuforums | 22:21 |
| Ultraputz | that could be very useful for the person with the right problem | 22:21 |
| J_Litews1i | thankyou Ultraputz | 22:22 |
| SiDi | Ultraputz, i'll consider this if i don't forget ^^ | 22:22 |
| * Ultraputz brings a chicken to the altar to sacrifice and summon TheSheep. | 22:22 | |
| knome | o.O | 22:23 |

| SiDi | Btw, knome's chair is a good chicken candidate, for its offensive armrest breakage ! | 22:30 |
| knome | hehe | 22:31 |
| knome | sure | 22:31 |
| ron_o | egads.. | 22:45 |
| ron_o | man. | 22:45 |
| ron_o | I screwed up when I made my boot partition. I made it only 100MB and now I dumb run out of space to upgrade. | 22:45 |
| ron_o | can I just delete everything except the kernal I am using and then upgrade? | 22:45 |
| cheryl | Hello? | 22:49 |
| knome | !hi | cheryl | 22:49 |
| ubottu | cheryl: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! | 22:49 |
| ron_o | aye | 22:49 |
| cheryl | Thanks, glad to be here. Anybody out there know how to get an i740 intel graphic card working correctly? | 22:50 |
| cheryl | I am running on the latest .iso. | 22:51 |
| ron_o | well, I'd check to see if it runs in knoppix or some other liveCD to track down what might be wrong. | 22:53 |
| ron_o | you can use commands to see if your computer even recognizes the card to begin with. | 22:53 |
| ron_o | and beyond that, you're probably going to have to find the correct driver for it to work. | 22:53 |
| cheryl | What is the command to sse. | 22:53 |
| cheryl | *see | 22:53 |
| ron_o | there's quite a few..... in root: $lspci or ... $dmidecode | 22:54 |
| ron_o | is the card ati? | 22:54 |
| cheryl | no, it is an intel i740 agp card | 22:55 |
| ron_o | I don't know much about graphics cards, but there are some that are more supported than others. | 22:55 |
| cheryl | I have been fighting it all day. From what I have read, there is a driver included in the image, but it does recognize the card on install. | 22:56 |
| ron_o | what's the cards name again? | 22:57 |
| ron_o | cheryl, ? | 22:58 |
| cheryl | It is an intel i740. dmidecode says it is unknown. | 23:00 |
| cheryl | Sorry I was searching the output from dmidecode. | 23:00 |
| cheryl | Handle 0x0012, DMI type 9, 13 bytes | 23:01 |
| cheryl | System Slot Information | 23:01 |

| knome | !pastebin | cheryl | 23:01 |
| ubottu | cheryl: 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) | 23:01 |
| cheryl | PME signal is supported | 23:01 |
| ron_o | yah, use pastebin. | 23:01 |
| ron_o | I see. It's not ati.. it's intel.. yuck. | 23:01 |
| ron_o | it may not be supported on linux. | 23:01 |
| ron_o | no doubt its driver support is proprietary, patented and secret to the linux world. | 23:02 |
| cheryl | k, it has been pastebinned. LOL | 23:03 |
| cheryl | intel created the chipset | 23:03 |
| ron_o | you need to show the URL. | 23:04 |
| ron_o | anyways, there's an xorg driver out there for your card: http://packages.ubuntu.com/it/hardy/xserver-xorg-video-i740 | 23:04 |
| cheryl | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/158154/ | 23:04 |
| ron_o | in synaptic package manager, search for intel i740 | 23:05 |
| ron_o | see if it's installed. | 23:05 |
| cheryl | I think I already did, but I will check again to make sure. | 23:06 |
| cheryl | it found it says it is installed. Do I uninstall and reinstall? | 23:09 |
| cheryl | Or mark for reinstall? | 23:09 |
| ron_o | no, your xserver ain't recognizing it. | 23:10 |
| cheryl | How do I make it do that? | 23:11 |
| ron_o | you're going to have to reconfigure your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 23:11 |
| ron_o | however, I can't help you out much with that. | 23:11 |
| ron_o | the good news is your card is recognized, the bad news is that it's not recognized autamatically. | 23:12 |
| cheryl | Thanks for you help. I have been editing that file all day. I have a friend at work how is an ubuntu junkie, if i have to i will get his help. | 23:12 |
| ron_o | here's something for you | 23:13 |
| ron_o | https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+question/60060 | 23:13 |
| ron_o | yah, get his help | 23:13 |
| ron_o | just make a backup of xorg.conf file and have a liveCD handy just in case. | 23:14 |
| ron_o | something like knoppix will do. But make sure it works before you go screwing around. :) | 23:14 |
| ron_o | hehe, just thought of this. LiveCDs are the condoms of the linux world! | 23:14 |
| ron_o | one difference, you use it only *after* you get into trouble. :) | 23:15 |
| cheryl | Thanks, what is a livecd, the ubuntu image? | 23:17 |
| ron_o | well it can be.. | 23:17 |
| ron_o | look up knoppix and see. | 23:17 |
| ron_o | basically a live operating system that runs off a CD/DVD | 23:18 |
| ron_o | great for emergencies/hacking and even backup. | 23:18 |
| ron_o | can anyone tell me why the upgrade process needs like 88MB in my boot partition? | 23:19 |
| ron_o | damn.. | 23:19 |
| ron_o | what a pain! | 23:19 |
| cheryl | Well, here goes. Time for the reboot. (maniacal laughter) | 23:22 |
| ron_o | well, upgrading. Hope all goes well here. | 23:26 |
| ron_o | working? | 23:27 |
| ron_o | did you make a backup of your old xorg.conf ? | 23:27 |
| ron_o | getting 1100 KB/s here. Not a bad connection at all. | 23:28 |
| cheryl | nope, I have so many backups it is pointless to do that. I have the orginal from when started this morning. | 23:34 |
| cheryl | I just tried something else in that thread, I am not too optimistic though the last post said he still had not gotten it working. | 23:34 |
| D-Lyrium | hmm, my laptop refuses to boot from a USB stick. | 23:54 |
| D-Lyrium | any ideas as to why? | 23:54 |
| D-Lyrium | it's the xubuntu .iso file that's on there | 23:54 |
| D-Lyrium | trying to install xubuntu | 23:55 |
| ron_o | D-Lyrium, I'm sure you have to do more than just put the iso on the USB stick. | 23:55 |
| D-Lyrium | oh. That's all I was told to do ¬_¬ | 23:56 |
| ron_o | I've never done it before, however. But have read websites describing the process. | 23:56 |
| quickdraw | I'm a bit of a newb, but i'm pretty sure there is a seperate way to run it from a USB drive. | 23:56 |
| quickdraw | But i'm blanking on it atm. | 23:56 |
| ron_o | If you have Windows I hear that Nero has a USB burner on there. | 23:56 |
| ron_o | some day I'll try it, but until I get at least a 4GB or better an 8GB USB drive, there's no use trying. | 23:57 |
| ron_o | wow, my upgrade is now at 245KB/s. I wonder if my ISP is slowing me down. | 23:58 |
| ron_o | most likely. | 23:59 |
