[00:14] Does anyone else here have problems with Rhythmbox? Mine refuses to play any songs, similar to when I have no soundcard selected. [00:15] spasticteapot, does it try to use pulseaudio? [00:15] Dunno. [00:16] It stopped working a few days after I updated to Jaunty. [00:16] I get this error message, for what it's worth: (rhythmbox:13827): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unable to grab media player keys: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name [00:34] So, nobody knows what's up with my audio? [00:34] :( [00:36] spasticteapot, Do you get sound from anything else? [00:37] Everything else. [00:38] VLC, movie player.... [00:39] spasticteapot, Do you have the appropriate codecs installed? [00:39] ie. Can you play the music you're trying to place with another gstreamer based player? [00:40] cody-somerville: Possibly not. Which is odd, considering that it worked up until the last round of updates. [00:41] FLAC isn't closed-source, so I can't see how that would cause an issue. [00:41] spasticteapot, and what were updates are you referring to? [00:41] errr [00:41] The ones Ubuntu automatically recommended? [00:41] spasticteapot, What updates did you get recently? [00:41] Thats not helpful [00:41] I usually leave the machine on or in sleep mode. There's been dozens. [00:42] At least, since the last time I rebooted. [00:42] Do you know where I can find a log of all updates I've downloaded? [00:42] /var/log/apt/term.log might have useful info [00:42] ls [00:43] and /var/log/dpkg.log [00:43] The only thing that looks remotely relevant is bluez-gstreamer. [00:44] Also, bluez-alsa. [00:44] Though I'd presume ALSA is working properly since everything else plays. [00:46] so maybe this has nothing to do with updates? [00:48] It only started after I rebooted, and I've heard of other media players ceasing to function under Jaunty. [00:58] i'm getting this error when i plug in my USB drive "The enclosing drive for the volume is locked." [00:58] HA! [00:58] i just loaded an HTML document into my python program :D [00:58] and it works! [00:59] i need to refine it to show images, but it works [02:00] JPohlmann, do you use PyQT? [02:09] how is it that i cant seem to print on 4x6image paper? I've played with a number of programs that come on xubuntu by default but i just cant seem to get any of them to print out to the full size of the photo paper, i keep getting these little one inch by one inch (roughly) icon sized prints on the photo paper. === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache [03:11] is there a good totural for net working xubuntu 8.04 with ubuntu 8.04 [03:16] is ntfs support built into xubuntu?

[03:52] lemme see if my media will play now [03:52] maybe, does flux use .deb or .rpm? [03:53] Amador, i'm sorry, but i didn't find anything about it [03:54] can you ask sometime tomorrow, earily?

[04:02] I guess that is possible. I would tempted to close both, wait a couple minutes for the cached dns entry to expire and try again [04:03] would it be safe to kill update-manager? i'm paranoid that it's going to screw with the database of updates [04:09] fyi- my download mirror is standard for US, i.e. deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted [04:09] i strongly suspect my download manager is fu*kt [04:11] i didn't even do anything extraordinary -- just clicked the update-manager on my task pane, clicked install updates, and waited. but now it's roughly been an hour, with no change to system status or notification [05:47] xserve crashes [05:49] would that cause the no internet problem? [06:21] y is it that since ive upgraded everything seems to run slow? [09:20] my xubuntu vm install is stuck at 82 % : analysing mirrors :| [10:58] is any body here [10:58] i neeed help [10:59] ask your question [10:59] http://picpaste.com/Screenshot-2.png [10:59] this is my question WHY [10:59] every time i boot my xubuntu [11:02] SiDi, can you help me with this [11:02] What version of Xubuntu do you have, and what graphics card ? [11:02] What version of Xubuntu do you have, and what graphics card ? [11:02] 9.04 [11:02] nvidia fx5200 [11:02] alright [11:03] Go to Apps -> system ->drivers of peripherals [11:03] In this window, do you have any driver listed ? Normally, Nvidia v96. Are they activated ? If no, please activate them. [11:03] noooooo [11:03] i use 173 [11:04] Did you install them via this window, or manually ? [11:04] this [11:04] but [11:04] harware drivers [11:14] is xubuntu really fast [11:33] Hey, what would happen if I remove the complete xfce config fro my home dir? [11:36] FSX, it would be re-generated to defaults on your next login [11:36] but i wouldnt do it while logged in to xfce and i would rename the folder and not delete it [11:40] Alright, that's good. It's resetting my config to the same thing each time I relogin. [11:41] ablomen, Thanks for the info. :) === danopia` is now known as danopia [11:41] yw :) [11:41] Removing the ./cache/session didn't help. It just does the same thing again. >_> [11:42] ah [11:43] Well, I'm going to try it. Bye. ^^ [13:22] <_Sevay_> SAlut a tous, est ce que quelqu'un parles francais ? [14:03] x [15:01] I'm trying to install xubuntu on a compaq 5441 and I keep getting x serve failed. [15:03] Is there any alternative to X Serve? [15:13] KoshB5: try installing from the alternate cd [15:15] Feisar: I've tried that. It installs but still get X Serve failed. [15:16] have you looked at the x log to get an idea why it is failing? [15:19] It seems to not like the video. I'm using the onboard video set to 8MB. Machine is a compaq 5441 w/256MB [15:20] running 'sudo lspci' will tell you more about the card and then google should help you find out if it is supported [15:21] I'll give that a try. I'm attempting to reinstall via alternate cd. [15:22] hmmm... I had a quick google and I think its an SIS board, from what I recall they are not supported well under linux due to no driver specs being released [15:23] it might be worth your while to get a cheap grahics board from a manufacturer that supports linux [15:25] hmmmm..... I've been thinking about getting a graphics card anyways. Thanks for the help [15:26] no [15:26] sorry [15:27] KoshB5: no probs, I think its an SIS 530 and a quick google suggested it might work but I need to go now - install from the alternate cd, at least then you can have a working system, then maybe get x working [16:27] !upgrade [16:27] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [16:46] an error occured, please run package manager from the right click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. the eoor message was: érror: opining the cache (E: encountered a section with no package: header, E: problem with mergelist/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntudists_jaunty-security_restricted_binary-i386_packages,E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.) this usually means that your installed packages [16:46] have unmet dependencies [16:46] who can help me!!!

[17:07] no i did not [17:08] if it may work? how do i do it? [17:08] Did the package manager ever work for you, familia? [17:09] never i installed xubuntu 30 minutes ago [17:09] im so new on this [17:09] ahhhh [17:11] hahaha what does it mean? [17:11] Here is a post that may address your issue: [17:11] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=863742 [17:12] ok [17:12] familia, make sure to read the whole post [17:12] esp if you are a beginner [17:15] familia, a key thing in working through any issue is to look for key phrases in the messages and then run them through google... [17:16] it is a good place to get started. [17:16] For example, I searched for "encountered a section with no package: header" [17:18] thanx bro but i tried and still doesnt work [17:18] specially this command sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf [17:18] invalid command [17:19] and with this # sudo dpkg --configure -a ..... it ask for my password but then it doesnt do anything else === J_Litewski1 is now known as J_Litewski [17:32] an error occured, please run package manager from the right click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. the eoor message was: érror: opining the cache (E: encountered a section with no package: header, E: problem with mergelist/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntudists_jaunty-security_restricted_binary-i386_packages,E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.) this usually means that your installed packages [17:32] have unmet dependencies [17:33] xubuntu 9.04 issues!!!

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [17:34] yes i did! i still receive an error message [17:34] !patience [17:34] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [17:36] just download it and i get problems its supposed to be a tested version [17:36] dont u think [17:37] hi, how can I prevent gnome-power-man from starting? [17:37] It is a tested version. It probably something wrong on your end, I think [17:38] No application or distribution will ever be tested on every possible piece of equipment, using every mistake a user could make. [17:38] maybe but i reinstalled it and still have the problem!! is there a problem with the installation software maybe [17:38] wITTus, if you go to the Setings Manager and look in "Sessions and Startup" [17:38] Pres-Gas: and via console? :) [17:39] wITTus: don't know how via console, but it is in Applications -> Settings -> Sessions and Startup [17:58] FIXED!!! [17:58] how? [17:58] SO WEIRD JUST CHANGE THE SERVER ON PREFERENCES [17:59] I see. So it is not something wrong with the software?

[18:33] Just upgraded to 9.4 -- and I don't seem to have any sound, or any sign of tools for configuring sound! [18:33] do you have a speaker on the panel? [18:33] No! [18:34] Very odd... [18:34] right-click the panel, add new items, add the mixer [18:34] then double-click the speaker, and add the controls or unmute the controls. [18:35] "No controls visible" [18:35] This is Xfce 4.6 default. you have to customize it to fit you [18:35] click select controls and add the master, at least [18:35] Oh good grief! [18:35] Thank you... [18:35] no problem [18:36] It's different, for sure [18:36] Even more different, if you start with gnome [18:36] Hmm. Still can't hear anything ... but that might be a wine+pulseaudio issue. Guess I need something else that makes noises.,.. [18:36] Ah. Stupid thing was muted by default [18:37] That seems a completely loony default state. How did that happen? [18:37] Don't know, but Xubuntu does not use pulseaudio by default [18:38] That's fine, that's a red herring (saw pulseaudio in the dropdown list) [18:38] But why is my default desktop silent? [18:38] I don't know why it is silent. If you see pulseaudio, something you added installed it. [18:39] Yes, the "Sound card:" dropdown offers Alsa, OSS and PulseAudio mixers [18:40] Oh God -- sound is absolutely terrible! [18:40] Yep, got to uninstall pulseaudio again [18:42] Ah: this box has had ubuntu-desktop before I upgraded to xubunut [18:42] That will do it. Ubuntu has pulseaudio by default [18:45] Xubuntu works great with ALSA [18:45] That's better [18:45] Now to try the sound again... [18:46] 1e6 times better :D [18:48] Im about to install xubuntu. Does it always install GRUB? [18:49] RoyLap, i think so. I believe it can use LILO too, but i'm not sure [18:49] or only if you choose "Install side by side" in partion step. (multi-boot system) [18:50] couse that got me confused since I maid it so the partition i wanted to install on was selected by choosing "Choose largest unformated space" [18:51] otherwize it would just want to either install and shrink my C: drive or my other ntsf drives === SiDiHatesCpp is now known as SiDi [18:52] J_Litewski: any thoughts on that :) ? [18:53] I overwritten my Windows install because my Dell hates it [18:53] oh :) [18:53] but, i believe xubuntu installs GRUB [18:53] it does [18:54] i'm not sure if it installs GRUB if another bootloader is installed [18:54] charlie-tca: did you have any particular trouble while testing the xubuntu iso in vm's ? i'm almost always failing to install at 82% : analysing the mirror [18:54] then I hope all will go well [18:54] It'll install the bootloader , no worries [18:54] at best vista will even refuse to let you boot it from grub [18:55] and thus you'll be stuck with ubuntu forever [18:55] sweet [18:55] I have xp pro sp2 [18:55] damn [18:55] i heard that win7 is multiboot compliant [18:56] J_Litewski: i heard it was opensource [18:56] * SiDi trolls. [18:56] SiDi, parts of it is [18:57] the Windows core isnt, but some of the backports of win7 and Vista sp1 are [18:57] where can i get the source ? :) [18:57] not sure [18:57] all i know is that some of the backports comply with GPLv2 or GPLv3 or some license [18:58] Hm. How do I stop things happening when I insert a removable device? The only thing I want to happen is the mount! [18:58] * SiDi doubts :D [18:58] Araneidae: like, no more thunar popping up ? [18:58] i read it on some opensource website [18:58] thunar? Maybe [18:58] Araneidae: go to the xfce properties [18:58] Araneidae: and then "Removables devices and medias" [18:59] or something like that :p [18:59] Also it asked me "shall I run the autorun file for you?" You must be joking! [18:59] heh [18:59] what, you want it to run w/out asking ? [18:59] SiDi, i made my first program :D [19:00] python, perl? [19:00] python [19:00] J_Litewski: finally pushed ? XD [19:00] ok [19:00] Cheers SiDi, found it: Applications -> Settings -> Removable Drives and Media [19:00] SiDi, Pushed to www.launchpad.com/manual [19:01] .net :P [19:01] *www.launchpad.net/manual [19:01] hur [19:01] launchpad.net/reztorrent is mine ;à [19:01] lol [19:01] nice [19:02] it'll be nicer once i built the package of the alpha [19:02] it still doesnt upload properly, but it downloads (slowly but still !)

[19:03] it doesn't support PDF, yet [19:04] i want it to display man files [19:04] like man * [19:04] i haven't figured out how to do that yet [19:05] but it can display readonly txt files and local *ML files [19:05] i'm installing wxWebKit to get some CSS support [19:06] man files [19:06] yea [19:06] www.2NT.free.fr/host/tmp/reztorrent.1.gz [19:06] Open the archive, then pick the file inside it [19:06] there's a particular syntax [19:06] unfortunately there are several syntaxes for the man pages [19:06] so you'll have to integrate them all [19:07] i guess a parser made in flex would be really adapted to that [19:07] python parser would be much much more tricky imo :p [19:08] it's still in early prototypes [19:08] hey, I just launched pidgin.. and it doesn't go to the system tray. Am I missing something? [19:09] wilsonj: you're for sure missing an icon in the systray. [19:09] * SiDi is out :X [19:09] SiDi, why thanks you captian obvious [19:09] wilsonj: go to pidgin's preferences [19:10] SiDi, oh yeah.. think it's something in the prefs? [19:10] And put the "Display icon in systray" to Always [19:10] SiDi, ahh... I got ya. Thanks [19:10] You're welcome :) [19:10] and sorry for the joke, couldn't resist [19:11] when i try to boot win from GRUb it just says Starting up...... [19:11] SiDi, np [19:11] its on another pyhsicall HDD and now its now first priority [19:14] I can boot win just fine but I need to select the win HDD as first boot priority before [19:14] hmm I guess GRUB should have been on that drive noww that I think about it :() [19:16] you should let grub do his stuff by default if you don't know how it works [19:16] and i doubt someone actually knows, apart from whoever wrote it oO [19:18] Grub should be able to point to anything really [19:20] !paste [19:20] 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) [19:22] Roylap, See the info on paste? [19:29] hey does anyone know how to add the global panel applet to my menu panel? [19:30] hi [19:31] Global panel ? [19:32] * SiDi is so pissed by ubiquity that he's installing ArchLinux :/ [19:32] yes [19:33] mandragora22: what do you mean by Global panel ? I don't understand [19:34] sorry, global panel is an applet for the menu bar [19:34] (like the menu bar in OS X) [19:35] What is the menu bar ? :/ [19:36] I really really don't understand what you mean [19:36] mandragora22, I understand [19:36] you see the menu in which appears: file, edit, view, windows, help [19:36] thanx pres [19:36] I am IM-ing with someone who installed it...hang tight [19:37] ok [19:38] Hey sidi chech this http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/ [19:40] I see now [19:40] I don't think we have that in xfce [19:40] they're rewriting the whole panels atm [19:41] but I've read somewhere that it can be installed on xfce [19:41] actually I've installed it [19:41] but I can't put it to work... [19:44] The packaging guide on help.ubuntu.com is horribly confusing [19:44] the more i advance the more i'm sure it'll fail [19:44] lol [19:45] mandragora22, so I see you have the web page for the globalmenu [19:46] mandragora22, you will also need to install xfce4-xfapplet-plugin from the regular repos [19:47] That should get you going, but your miliage may vary [19:47] so i just apt-get install xfce4-xfapplet-plugin? [19:48] yep [19:49] ok, done [19:49] what do i do now? [19:51] Well, right click on your panel and select Add New Items. You should see the xfapplet plugin. Once you drag it in place, it should then pop up a similar box to select the gnome item you want [19:51] yes... it's done pres! [19:51] thanks a lot dude! [19:51] No problem [19:51] see you all then!
