[00:00] if you want, you might try an older version or then the minimal cd [00:00] !minimal [00:00] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [00:00] it is mostly a ram issue? [00:00] yes [00:01] if you can upgrade your ram to something like 512, you are in a way better position [00:01] then i could suggest 9.04 for you [00:01] does this type of instalation recognizes wpa2 wireless connections? [00:02] no problem, if the wifi card is supported [00:02] ok, thanks [00:06] What are the minimum requirements? [00:07] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [00:07] see the xubuntu section [00:07] thanks [00:07] under 256 ram is not really recommended. [00:08] well that leaves me out [00:08] only 92 ram here [00:08] very old machin [00:09] probably time to retire that pc [00:15] that could run a cli :P [00:16] cli? [00:17] command line interface [00:17] oh i know [00:17] But I will need a pc to run apps for people on the house [00:17] or even in the house, ha ha [00:18] ;) [00:26] hey knome i restarted and that stupid applet finally started working!! [00:28] sml1226, nice ;) [00:28] Now gnome panel is back thoug [00:29] though [00:29] heh ok... [00:29] how do I disable it [00:29] it acts like it is the default [00:30] uhm... [00:30] gnome-panel --replace? :/ [00:30] thats what i did last time and it came back after the restart [00:30] check the session [00:31] from settings [00:32] worked thanks === Paddy_EIRE_ is now known as Paddy_EIRE [02:37] Has anyone had any success with dial up for version 8.10 [02:38] I just can't connect its begin to be a nightmare [02:38] pppconfig utility on my pc for some reason is not working [02:39] I am trying to get wvdial to work and no luck with that [02:39] bad enough my Usb PCI didn't work [02:41] I don't know if I should download gnome ppp or are there other options? [02:43] anyone have any suggestions? [02:46] any suggestions for dial up anyone? [02:48] 8( [02:51] I can't use ppconfig because something is wrong with the utility so and wvdial won't work because the terminal says Configuration does not specify a valid phone number Login name and paswword [02:51] could it be because I have too many wvdial.conf files? [02:53] Probably major of you have broadband and dial up is porbably the last thing on your mind [02:54] I don't like dial up myself but I am stuck with it and the looks of it I wish I had broadband [02:56] But if there is someone that can help me please let me know [02:58] well ummmmm I guess no one wants to help I hate bother anyone but I am just trying resolve this issue so I can get gnome ppp [02:59] I would really appreciate some help [03:05] well I apparently am not going to receive any help so long then [03:12] Why does xUbuntu 9 Just freeze? I wouldn't say freeze but will not let me click, drag, or move anything? (I can still type on the current window but that's it) [03:17] Export GTK_MODULES=globalmenu-gnome in your profile. HOW? What does it mean? To it or from it? [03:34] Actually I am not sure thats the problem because it gives another option and it sort of works [03:34] Instead of laying the menus on the panel like it should I get a drop-down menu with the menus in it. [03:34] It works in the gnome panel but only partially in the xfce panel [03:34] would exporting get it to work with xfce? [04:31] is there an app that can respond to an ad online via email? similar to outlook [05:20] my twittux doesnot connect anyone got any idea [09:30] Hi, I have installed the latest version of XUBUNTU from a bootable CD burnt from a torrent my son sent me. IT seemed to be fine , booted, logged in etc but the quit button just removed the task bars and left the desktop and icons . [09:31] I right clicked on empty spage and did applications/logout and got the shutdown panel. I chose restart, and it got past login to the bluey screen and hung there [09:31] Any suggestions? [09:31] I used the red and black buttons oon the front of the tower to close down [09:32] Next time I booted, it got past login to the blue screen and hung again [09:33] Would it make sense for me to get the XUBUNTU dowonload on this Windows machine, Burn the bootable CD here and use it to reinstall? [09:49] Oh are you here? [09:50] GINZ, we're there yeh [09:50] I typed a problem here a few minutes ago [09:50] so you get a blue login screen when logging in, now ? [09:50] yes that is correct [09:51] I am typing on my XP machine [09:51] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351293 [09:51] it's likely this bug [09:51] The login was normal but after that it went straight to the pale bluey grey screen [09:51] Thanks [09:52] Yeh, the session cannot fully load because of a bug in the opensource drivers, apparently [09:52] Thanks [09:52] GINZ, does Alt+F2 work on the blueish desktop ? [09:52] if so, please type "xfce4-panel in it" [09:53] I did see something during bootup about "fails cutoff" and "Acpi=force is required" [09:53] hm [09:53] I'm not the most experienced guy with those things (ie. i dont understand that bug :p) but i'll try to see with our developers if they can have a look [09:54] lt and F2 got me a "Run Program" panel [09:56] hmm did you mean the in it to be in that quote? [09:59] Ok, GINZ [10:00] type xfce4-panel -r [10:00] inside that run window [10:00] and tell me if the panels popup :) [10:01] nothing just returns to the panel [10:02] ah running xfce4-panel does bring back the task bars [10:02] t only those, not the desktop [10:03] okey [10:03] run "xfdesktop --reload" [10:04] im trying to find out all the things that need to be booted :p [10:05] nothing happens [10:07] xfdesktop alone then ? [10:08] yes that brought desktop up [10:12] So is there a way to set these to work automatically or will I need to runo those two things every time I boot up? [10:19] Do you also have any advice for getting the quit button to shut down the computer, instread of just hiding the taskbars? [10:20] ill write you a quick script that'll boot those two things [10:20] try to see if there appears to be something "missing" [10:21] GINZ, i think the quit button not working is more or less the same bug :] [10:21] thanks [10:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/183525/ [10:23] put the 5 lines of this file into a file named ".initrc" (dont forget the .) [10:23] and then type chmod +x .initrc in a terminal [10:24] it's a *dirty* workaround. When the bug will be fixed you'll have to remove it ;p [10:27] Thanks [10:29] shall I need to put "sudo" in front of the "chmod " [10:33] Does that file need to be in a particular part of the file system? [10:33] or just on desktop? [10:39] <_Pete_> GINZ: it should be in your homedir [10:40] thanks [11:04] I followed these instructions. but got errors. please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/183542/ [11:17] will not i use nvidia 71* series drivers with latest xorg version? === DaveDixonII is now known as dbdii407 [12:48] hey im on a wifi office network and i want to see all computers and shared folders. question: how? [12:53] is there some thing like "my network places" from windows in xubuntu? [12:54] Premorphos, In Places do you see anything that looks similar to Network places? [12:54] Wooops [12:54] Look in Applications/ accessories and I think there is a networks thing there [12:55] that may be where [12:55] Like you I know it from Windows [12:56] GINZ: tnx for youre reply... but no thing like that. [12:56] My Xubuntu is not yet set up so I cannot check for you [12:58] I think you 'll have to kust look into everything in Applications and Accessories maybe even system (but be careful there) and see if there is anything that looks like network or interneet [12:58] yes that is the problem.. im so used windows.. what do you use and on what os [12:58] to find network places [12:58] I know I was asking recently how to see the LAN and it is in there somewhere [12:58] I usually use Win XP [12:59] but am setting up an old computer in Xubuntu on the LAN [13:00] i got to say.. xubuntu sure rocks.. [13:03] well the newest upgrade has hit the rocks as far as I am concerned [13:04] got a bug or maybe several [13:05] I am firing it up to see if I can remember where to look for the LAN [13:05] My son told me in an email but all the emails have the same subject which makes it hopeless finding things [13:08] nah I will have to reinstall the whole thing [13:08] won;t open [13:09] but I am sure it was in one of those menues [13:09] yes im looking but cant find any thing similar [13:10] sorry. [13:10] no prob... tnx for trying [13:15] np [13:30] anyone using a good GUI Lanmanager? [13:46] hi ,i wish to remove the verve shell panel-applet and i can't !! [13:49] i have to right-click on the very top edge of the verve "box" to get the context menu. it's a little tricky [13:52] ptizzy, thx finally , i tried left and right before but top was actually on the firefox status :P, [13:55] there is network monitor with speed limit option , that can limit my internet connection speed? [13:55] on my panel [13:55] np tyranos. i wish there was a way to access a menu list of all applets on a particular panel that would allow one to remove specific applets [13:58] i mean even gnome has such problems and even more , as the gnome-panel gets confused when placed in a vertical positions [14:00] i installed jaunty amd64 and i cant set twinview [14:00] it says [14:00] VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. [14:00] Undefined Device "(null)" referenced by Screen "Default Screen" [14:02] and when i press on the save to xorg button it says "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!" even when i sudo nvidia-settings [14:09] ah i rebuilt my xorg now its working [14:09] *THUMBS UP* === Paddy_EIRE_ is now known as Paddy_EIRE [16:35] If my dial up modem initializes but then the terminal says 'Configuration does not specify a valid phone number login and so forth what does it mean? [16:37] <_Pete_> maybe what the error says? [16:38] Well I have all the info in there already so I stumped on why [16:39] <_Pete_> so recheck every info you have is configured in correct place in your Configuration [16:42] when I created my ISP record I used the sudo wvdial /etc/wvdial.conf and I tried to save the file then I got a error about root not being a directory so I put the wvdial record in the root directory [16:43] <_Pete_> are you sure it was "root not being a directory" ? [16:44] yeah said root no such file or directory so I put the wvdial.conf file in the root directory and my modem almost worked then [16:45] <_Pete_> what exactly are you trying to do? [16:46] I want to delete the wvdial.conf duplicate files and see if my modem will dial out [16:46] <_Pete_> with modem you mean "old school" ones that actually dial via teleline ? [16:46] yeah [16:47] <_Pete_> then I am out of knowledge [16:47] <_Pete_> or better said forgotten all that [16:48] ok but do you know how to delete duplicate files with gksu gedit [16:48] <_Pete_> what do you mean with duplicate files ? [16:49] I have wvdial.conf duplicate files that were created when I was trying to create my ISP info [16:50] I have about 4 files [16:50] I just want to delete them [16:51] in buntu is there an option to run LXDE insted of XFCE [16:51] !lxde [16:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about lxde [16:52] DetroitLibertyPe: I think you can apt-get it [16:52] right, but once I do that, how do I change it so that when I boot it boots into LXDE instead of XFCE [16:53] would the LXDE package automatically ad something to GRUB forcing me to choose each time, or what? [16:53] Anyone know how to delete files in gedit [16:53] ToStItOs: use a file manager instead, gedit is just a text editor [16:53] DetroitLibertyPe: it will add an option to your login screen [16:53] OK [16:53] I didn't think about that duh [16:53] DetroitLibertyPe: under 'sessions' [16:54] DetroitLibertyPe: just like installing gnome and kde does [16:54] TheSheep: didn't know that either [16:54] my 10 year old machine doens't like Gnome or KDE [16:54] Windowmaker, now that's where its at! [16:55] TheSheep but even if the file is a wvdial.conf file [16:55] DetroitLibertyPe: there is wmaker for xubuntu too [16:56] TheSheep I won't need admin privileges to delete the files I don't need correct? [16:58] ToStItOs: depends on where the files are and who owns them [16:59] TheSheep the files are in the etc folder so you said use a file manager and will it let me ? [16:59] delete the files that way [17:00] ToStItOs: start it with 'gksu thunar' command, then it works as root -- be careful, you can break your system easily working as root [17:01] Hows that ? [17:01] you will be able to delete and change stuff that's part of the system [17:01] ToStItOs, which files are they? Are you absolutely sure it's safe to delete them? [17:02] hmmm well its the wvdial.conf files [17:03] What do they do and why do you want to delete them? [17:03] (Just making sure you're not doing anything potentially harmful, I wouldn't like that for you to happen ;-) [17:04] vinnl I want to redo my ISP info because something is wrong with the configuration [17:04] Why don't you just edit the existing files then? [17:04] but doesn't create another file afterward [17:05] it [17:05] What? [17:06] When I edit the file doesn't it create another file? [17:06] Ehm, no... It edits the existing file [17:07] I was looking at the file I check the configuration and it looked ok but the terminal keeps telling me that theres no valid phone number and so on [17:08] this is the message I get 'The configuration does not specify a valid phone numver log in name [17:09] ToStItOs, do you happen to have a .wvdialrc file in your home directory? That might overwrite your configuration [17:10] Also, why are you doing this manually? Xubuntu includes an graphical application to manage your network connection [17:10] hmmm let me check my other pc brb [17:11] well long story but I basically I have ubuntu I want to migrate to Xubuntu 8.10 but without a connection I am at a loss [17:11] but let me check that file brb [17:11] Is the connection working on Ubuntu?

[21:45] anyone tried to install kdevelop under 9.04 ? when i've installed it it contains only project templates for qt application when i try to create new project :( [21:46] puffandstuff, what should it contain? [21:46] I need to install the flash version 9.0.124.0 for firefox xubuntu [21:46] knome, autoconf is the most missed feature [21:47] Carlis, you would need to uninstall ( not wise) your current version . and then find a deb package somewhere of the version you do want. even then may not work . again the site may be windows specific ( as in the viruses they want to place on your computer need a path to install) [21:47] puffandstuff, did it work earlier? [21:47] knome, i need to be able to create an autotool project, but as i've said it only provide template for QT ! kdevelop 3.9.91 [21:47] knome, on 8.04 LTS all was fine and work great [21:48] !attitude | puffandstuff [21:48] puffandstuff: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [21:48] It`s my first time [21:49] knome, whe i said i need i didn't want to say "you must provide me such a fonctionality" i know that people are volounteers, i'm a colunteer too :/ [21:49] there is something that you are misunderstanding here. [21:50] me ? [21:51] I would like just if someone can verify on it's installation if it's possible to create an autotool project using kdevelop 3.9.91, and thank you in advance. [21:53] puffandstuff, i suppose asking #kubuntu first would be wiseish, because they know about "k"(de) more [21:53] knome, than you [21:53] puffandstuff, if it works for them and not you even after trying what they suggested, come back here [21:54] puffandstuff, then we can sort out if it's a xubuntu problem or a problem on your machine and jaunty [22:01] nobody can help me then ? [22:01] you can ask #ubuntu [22:02] i think there is nobody here atm who can help [22:02] just ask how to install flash 9 in 9.04/jaunty and see if somebody can help there [22:03] Carlis. I just had a few ppl check that site . nobody I know can get to it. [22:06] ok [22:07] Thank you for helping me [22:07] no problem. I say just find another site for casino play. [22:08] I used to fix windows sytems and alot of them were filled with junk and viruses from casino sites. some of the systems were barely repairable [22:14] I repair (if you can even call it that) windows systems for a living. God bless M$ and all their ills, they pay my mortgage :-) [22:14] nobody talk in #Ubuntu channel [22:17] Carlis, #ubuntu with small "u" [22:22] Carlis, nevermind, redirects to the same channel :-P [22:23] but they are talking [23:46] I opened jockey-gtk and it says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" [23:46] do I need to manually install them? [23:46] no [23:46] it means none are needed [23:47] cool [23:47] thanks
