[00:19] <pc-illiterate> hello
[00:20] <pc-illiterate> happy saturday
[00:25] <pc-illiterate> anyone wanna help a newb pc builder with a problem ?
[00:25] <SiDi> Whats up pc-illiterate ?
[00:26] <pc-illiterate> my pc posts.... but.....
[00:27] <pc-illiterate> i try to boot from cd to install micro xp....vid goes off. no problem booting xubuntu live cd though
[00:28] <pc-illiterate> want to set up a dual boot but i cant :(
[00:30] <pc-illiterate> new psu....used mobo....everything else worked fine in (dont laugh) dell system
[00:31] <pc-illiterate> also new used cpu..... mixed mem manufactureers
[00:31] <pc-illiterate> cant figure it out. i feel real dumb
[00:33] <SiDi> I kinda dont understand :/
[00:33] <pc-illiterate> does dell put a something in their hdd to only work with dell mobo ? its pissing me off i cant install an os
[00:33] <pc-illiterate> ok....
[00:33] <SiDi> what is micro xp ?
[00:34] <pc-illiterate> after post.....press any key to boot from cd...i do that...then it says ' analysing system config' and then screen goes black
[00:34] <SiDi> "<pc-illiterate> i try to boot from cd to install micro xp" what CD, and what is micro xp ?
[00:34] <pc-illiterate> its a stripped down version of microjunk xp pro
[00:34] <SiDi> and what the hell is microjunk xp pro ? :/
[00:34] <pc-illiterate> lol. microsoft
[00:35] <pc-illiterate> i see.... no winblows mentioning in here ?
[00:35] <SiDi> Its not that
[00:35] <SiDi> that microjunk xp pro, correct me if i'm wrong
[00:36] <SiDi> It's completely illegal, right ?
[00:36] <pc-illiterate> no idea. i use a legal key but its missing all bloatware
[00:36] <pc-illiterate> super fast...great for gaming
[00:37] <pc-illiterate> i have 11 processes running instead of the usual 20+
[00:37] <SiDi> I suggest you read : http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#unlawful
[00:37] <SiDi> The guys at ##windows channel should be able to say if this is legal or not, but i highly doubt it.
[00:37] <SiDi> Also, this channel is for xubuntu support, not for windows installations support (thats in ##windows too)
[00:38] <pc-illiterate> ok then. thanks anyway
[00:38] <pc-illiterate> well i cant install any OS...thought i could find some help
[00:38] <SiDi> Not for something that is blatently not legal :]
[00:39] <pc-illiterate> my key....should be totally legal
[00:39] <SiDi> Did you ever read Microsoft Windows's EULA ?
[00:39] <pc-illiterate> like anyone does
[00:39] <SiDi> You're kinda not allowed to modify / distribute it. And the guys there, unless it comes from microsoft.com, are not allowed to distribute it. So it is illegal
[00:40] <SiDi> I don't read EULAs. I refuse them as they pop up, and i get the software reimbursed, when i have to read an EULA.
[00:40] <pc-illiterate> well sidi... have a good weekend
[01:29] <Devilsprey99> anyone here knows how to work with network manager 0.7 in xubuntu 8.04
[01:31]  * SiDi really doesn't remember how it was back there.
[01:32] <Devilsprey99> I have installed it but i want it to work the way it does in intrepid
[01:33] <Devilsprey99> any suggestions or links plz
[01:34] <SiDi> Devilsprey99, try #ubuntu
[01:34] <SiDi> more people at such a late hour
[01:34] <Devilsprey99> thanks
[02:11] <je||y> why does this channel only have 60 compared to ubuntu's 1400?
[02:43] <spectre> a spreadsheet for xubuntu ?
[02:43] <spectre> no openoffice please
[02:44] <spectre> gnumeric is already installed ,ops ;)
[03:03] <tyranos> hi i m new to xfce but using gnome for long time now . and want to ask why my xfce panel keeps freezing some time and not showin that it is supposed to ?
[03:04] <tyranos> if there is some known issues with it , i tried 3 docks for gnome but none was so stable as the gnome-panel
[03:36] <JackVermicelli> Hiyas
[03:37] <JackVermicelli> Could anyone tell me how I can kill apt-get, since I closed the terminal when I couldn't find a way to accept the license when I tried to install java?
[03:38] <JackVermicelli> Attempting to close it through the process manager just kills the process manager.

[08:50] <themad> I have a problem with xubuntu 9.04. The mouse is invisible! I can move it, click, open applications with it, but I don't accually see mouse pointer, so I don't know where it is.
[09:22] <Ben_Cs> hello
[09:22] <Ben_Cs> SiDi here?
[09:22] <SiDi> heya
[09:23] <Ben_Cs> SiDi: hi
[09:23] <Ben_Cs> SiDi: i took your advice
[09:23] <SiDi> which one ? :P Upgrade ?
[09:23] <Ben_Cs> SiDi: my xfce was a total mess. so i reinstalled 8.04.2 from backup and installed xfce 4.6.1 from repos.
[09:24] <Ben_Cs> SiDi: using remastersys it was a quickie
[09:24] <SiDi> okeyz
[09:24] <SiDi> and it works fine ?
[09:25] <Ben_Cs> SiDi: perfect :)  i even noticed new design features which i didn't have because of upgrading before not from repos
[09:25] <themad> could anyone help me? :)
[09:26] <Ben_Cs> SiDi: anyhow, just wanted to thank you again. Bye :)
[09:26] <SiDi> Ben_Cs, thanks ;)
[09:26] <SiDi> themad, what is the issue ?
[09:27] <SiDi> Ben_Cs, thank jeromeg in #xfce too ;)
[09:27] <SiDi> Ben_Cs, its his repository
[09:27] <themad> I have a problem with xubuntu 9.04. The mouse is invisible! I can move it, click, open applications with it, but I don't accually see mouse pointer, so I don't know where it is.
[09:27] <SiDi> themad, that looks like a driver problem :/
[09:27] <SiDi> themad, you never changed the cursor theme before, by the way ?
[09:28] <themad> no, its clean install
[09:28] <themad> also it didnt work on livecd.
[09:29] <SiDi> Alright
[09:29] <SiDi> What graphic card do you have ?
[09:29] <themad> it's a notebook by the way (fujitsu siemens amilo pro v3515)
[09:29] <themad> its via chrome, please stand by for lspci ;)
[09:30] <themad> via technologies VN896
[09:30] <themad> [CHROME 9 HC]
[09:30] <SiDi> its a VIA card ? :O
[09:30] <themad> indeed :/
[09:31] <SiDi> Well, there we go : you're lacking GPU drivers :P
[09:31] <themad> i think it has the worst compability with linux :P
[09:31] <SiDi> Indeed.
[09:31] <themad> maybe you know a name of package that i have to install?
[09:31] <SiDi> Hm, i guess you should file a bug against the opensource generic driver in launchpad
[09:31] <SiDi> xserver-xorg-video-openchrome
[09:32] <SiDi> Try this one, but i think you're already on it :p
[09:32] <themad> let me see ;)
[09:32] <SiDi> you can try to find a more recent of it on the web too, but its risky :P
[09:33] <themad> yes i have it installed.
[09:33] <SiDi> show me your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please
[09:33] <SiDi> !paste
[09:33] <themad> i tried to look on google, but i didnt find anything interesting
[09:34] <themad> it'll take a while, i dont have internet on this computer.
[09:35] <SiDi> oh
[09:35] <SiDi> just give me the name of  the GPU driver in xorg.conf then :P
[09:36] <SiDi> Section "Device", there should be a Driver "...."
[09:36] <SiDi> i want .... :)
[09:36] <themad> Configured Video Device
[09:37] <themad> Indentifier "Configured Video Device"
[09:37] <themad> and nothing more
[09:38] <SiDi> okey
[09:38] <SiDi> HM im really not a VIA expert, eheh
[09:39] <themad> SiDi: after 3 years of having this laptop i have to say: nor am i :/
[09:39] <SiDi> Try to add :  Option "HWCursor" "off"
[09:39] <SiDi> below Identifier line
[09:42] <themad> problem parsing the config file, when added.
[09:42] <SiDi> huh
[09:42] <themad> are you sure of this 4 " signs?
[09:42] <SiDi> Do you have a way to send me your xorg.conf
[09:42] <SiDi> yeh i am :P
[09:43] <themad> yeah, sure :)
[09:49] <themad> http://paste.ubuntu.com/184844/
[09:49] <themad> at last! :D
[09:56] <SiDi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/184852/
[09:56] <SiDi> Try this :P
[09:56] <themad> i change it exacly like you did before..
[09:56] <themad> *changed xO
[09:56] <themad> *xP
[09:56] <SiDi> ok
[09:57] <SiDi> then.. "SWCursor" "on"
[09:57] <themad> but maybe ill try copy-paste
[09:57] <SiDi> thats ok if you're sure you didnt do any typo ^_^
[09:57] <themad> ok ;]
[09:59] <themad> thank you VERY MUCH!
[09:59] <themad> it works now :)
[09:59] <themad> i owe you one ;)
[10:02] <SiDi> hehe good to hear
[10:02] <SiDi> themad, your mouse might lag a little when your CPU is very busy, though
[10:02] <SiDi> you're using a software rendered mouse now
[10:03] <themad> the important thing is that it work ;)
[10:04] <SiDi> themad, by the way : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome#Problems%20and%20solutions
[10:05] <SiDi> Just noticed when i thought i'd add it to the wiki
[10:05] <themad> thank you :)
[10:06] <cs_1032> Hello! I have installed Xubuntu 9.04 and managed to automount my second partition to /media/sda5 with the help of pysdm. But it's "read only"... :-/ How to fix that?
[10:06] <SiDi> you're welcome themad
[10:06] <SiDi> cs_1032, you should use /etc/fstab for auto mounting
[10:06] <SiDi> show me how your fstab is at the moment, cs_1032
[10:08] <csongor_> the relevant line is
[10:08] <csongor_> SiDi: "/dev/sda5                                  /media/sda5     vfat         defaults                    0  0  "
[10:08] <SiDi> I see, its a vfat
[10:08] <csongor_> yes VFAT
[10:08] <SiDi> by default i think only the user with UUID 0 (ie. the root user) has write rights
[10:09] <csongor_> yes, the root can write
[10:10] <SiDi> try to replace default by user,auto,rw,exec
[10:10] <SiDi> if really it doesnt let you write with that, i wont be able to help :) no vfat partition under hand
[10:11] <csongor__> SiDi?
[10:11] <SiDi> hey
[10:11] <knome> csongor__, 12:10  SiDi: try to replace default by user,auto,rw,exec
[10:11] <SiDi> internet down ?
[10:11] <SiDi> knome, :p
[10:11] <csongor__> yep... some more problems :-)
[10:16] <SiDi> Im frustrated by gstreamer
[10:16] <csongor> SiDi: doesn't work :-(
[10:17] <SiDi> csongor, try in #ubuntu for some folks with vfat disks then ;) I stopped using them a while ago :/
[16:05] <chris_debian> Hi, all.  I booted my PC this morning and my sound has died. I've checked the mixer settings and the physical speaker connection.  Anyone know why it may have just "dropped-out"?
[16:08] <SiDi> Hi chris_debian
[16:09] <SiDi> Did you install GNOME/KDE/any PulseAudio depending application the last time you used your computer ?
[16:09] <SiDi> Did you change the langage of your desktop during last session ?
[16:09] <SiDi> Do you mind checking if pulseaudio is running with "ps aux | grep pulseaudio" ?
[16:11] <The-Kernel> SiDi I noticed that pulseaudio is running on my system....
[16:11] <The-Kernel> but I use ALSA
[16:12] <SiDi> Xubuntu runs very well with pulseaudio purged :)
[16:12] <SiDi> I had trouble with jaunty + pulse installed by ubuntu-desktop, it wouldn't let me control my volume when not using PA
[16:13] <sTEPPZOR> hey mates.. i seem to have a problem and hopes that someone here could help me. Im having issus tying to get static ip on eth0
[16:14] <SiDi> Hello sTEPPZOR
[16:14] <sTEPPZOR> hi
[16:14] <SiDi> Do you try to do it via /etc/network/interfaces or via the graphical user interface ?
[16:14] <sTEPPZOR> etc/network..
[16:15] <chris_debian> SiDi: Sorry for the delay.  Was the Pulseaudio question for me/
[16:15] <SiDi> chris_debian, yes
[16:15] <SiDi> sTEPPZOR, alright
[16:16] <sTEPPZOR> ive stopped the network service.. nano /etc/network/interfaces.. and auto eth0, iface eth0 inet static, address and so
[16:16] <chris_debian> Pulseaudio is running, but I also have ALSA. I've heard bad things about PA.
[16:16] <sTEPPZOR> and then starte network service again but still notinh
[16:17] <chris_debian> SiDi: Is PA a dependency, could I try to remove it?
[16:17] <SiDi> sTEPPZOR, http://paste.ubuntu.com/185022/
[16:17] <SiDi> sTEPPZOR, change the IPs to what you need, then sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart and tell me the output please
[16:17] <SiDi> chris_debian, you can safely remove it ;)
[16:18] <chris_debian> Phew.  I used to have a Gnome based system, maybe that's why it's still here. I wondered why it's suddenly causing issues.  Removing.....2 secs....
[16:18] <SiDi> its auto started by GNOME apps like Totem, if installed
[16:19] <SiDi> and then it can mislead some apps, especially those who were already running and using sound via the alsasink of Gstreamer
[16:19] <sTEPPZOR> hmm
[16:19] <chris_debian> SiDi: Removing, as we speak.  Do I need to do anything to ALSA to make it happy, again?
[16:19] <SiDi> chris_debian, install xubuntu-restricted-extras
[16:20] <SiDi> it contains extra codecs that you might need
[16:20] <chris_debian> Cheers, SiDi. will do.
[16:20] <SiDi> apart from that, just give it chocolate, flowers, travels to paris, the usual stuff
[16:20] <sTEPPZOR> WARNING: ifup -a is disabled in favour of NetworkManager. Set ifupdown:managed=false in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-setting.conf
[16:20] <SiDi> sTEPPZOR, you may have to manually shutdown network manager
[16:20] <sTEPPZOR> okey?
[16:21] <SiDi> sTEPPZOR, on next boot, it shouldnt start since your /etc/network/interfaces will not be default
[16:21] <chris_debian> SiDi: If I install xubuntu-restricted-extras, Pulse is a dependency.
[16:21] <sTEPPZOR> okey.. so ill just restart the comp and thats it?
[16:22] <SiDi> chris_debian, oh, really ? :| install ffmpeg and gstreamer0.10 "bad" and "ugly" plugins then :)
[16:22] <SiDi> sTEPPZOR, normally yes
[16:22] <sTEPPZOR> okey
[16:22] <chris_debian> I HAVE SOUND!!!! Bloody Pulseaudio!
[16:23] <sTEPPZOR> as i recall after som few hours now ive allready done that but still wont let me have static ip.. but ill try rebooting again
[16:23] <chris_debian> Cheers, SiDi
[16:24] <SiDi> chris_debian, you're welcome ;)
[16:24] <chris_debian> Top man!
[16:25] <sTEPPZOR> okey.. its wierd now with static ip but now my wierless inet wont work?
[16:27] <SiDi> sTEPPZOR, if you also have a wireless network you should put it in interfaces too
[16:27] <sTEPPZOR> ahh okey..  the thing is i want to share my wireless inet connection trough eth0 using firestarter
[16:28] <sTEPPZOR> know how to do that?:P
[16:34] <sTEPPZOR> no help there?
[16:36] <SiDi> hm
[16:36] <sTEPPZOR> im getting ann error when starting it.. "Warning: Could not determine new DNS settings for DHCP, Keeping old configuration, Failed to start DHCP server"
[16:36] <SiDi> If you want to use eth + wlan at the same time, its over my knowledge :p
[16:37] <SiDi> You should try #ubuntu, its exactly the same stuff for network
[16:37] <sTEPPZOR> tried there.. no one answers me :(
[16:37] <sTEPPZOR> :P
[16:38] <SiDi> Well, i dont know firestarter and iptables at all so.. :P
[16:38] <SiDi> But you can check the wiki for how to connect to wifi via /etc/network/interfaces
[16:39] <SiDi> if you always use the same wifi access point it'll do the trick, and you'll only have the routing issues to solve
[16:39] <SiDi> as for the DHCP server, you dont need any on your machine if you use static IPs
[16:39] <sTEPPZOR> Well wifi trough DHCP works
[16:39] <SiDi> and you can set the machines connected to yours to use OpenDNS to avoid having a DNS configuration headache
[16:39] <sTEPPZOR> then i want to share that connection with eth0 to a local network
[16:39] <sTEPPZOR> but the program gives me a DNS error
[16:48] <sTEPPZOR> ive now shared the connection from wlan0 to eth0 and about to try on my local computer to get from the shared connection.. but since im not running a DHCP server? what settings and so on do i need? what is the gateway and so one?
[16:50] <sTEPPZOR> hmm it says local only :(
[16:53] <sTEPPZOR> i thought firestarter came with a DHCP server? or am i wrong?
[16:56] <sTEPPZOR> what is the default setting for eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces? i cant remember
[17:02] <Jollino> hello all, i'm trying to get the latest xubuntu to correctly use the screen on a hercules ecafe netbook. the screen is 800x480, and by default xubuntu uses 800x600 (with the bottom 120 pixels not being visible, but things still 'go there'). i created a 800x480 modeline with cvt/gcf and gave it to xrandr, but it keeps using the 'extra' screen too. is there a way to tell it "the screen ends here"? :D
[17:05] <anom01y> anyone know how to configure a printer that is shared from a Mircorost XP computer (host) ?
[17:06] <anom01y> I have tried the cups configuration (127.0.0.1:631), and added a MS shared printer there, when asked for the device URL I tried smb://computername/printersharename   but nothing seems to work.
[17:07] <sTEPPZOR> 127.0.0.1 is local host?
[17:07] <anom01y> I have even tried smb://ipaddress/printersharename   and that doesnt work.
[17:07] <anom01y> yes
[17:07] <sTEPPZOR> you cant use 127.0.0.1
[17:07] <anom01y> sTEPPZOR, it works   127.0.0.1:631  =   localhost:631
[17:09] <sTEPPZOR> hmm okei
[17:09] <anom01y> sTEPPZOR, I also had this same shared printer working prior to completely upgrading my Linux box, but since I've lost everytthin I can
[17:09] <anom01y> 't remember the address for the printer, or how I configured it.
[17:10] <anom01y> I know it works because I just set up another windows XP computer on this same printer (wirelessely)
[17:10] <sTEPPZOR> well cant you just check the windows computer and find the adress for the network printer there?
[17:11] <anom01y> its \\semplehome\Printer
[17:11] <anom01y> but windows uses the \\ format;
[17:13] <sTEPPZOR> dammit.. now it says my eth0 isnt ready. Aborting.. im getting tierd of this now
[17:16] <sTEPPZOR> *banging my head aginst the wall*
[17:17] <anom01y> I forgot file/printer sharing is port 139
[17:17] <anom01y> I think thats my solution brb
[17:17] <sTEPPZOR> ait
[17:20] <SiDi> Jollino, if you _only_ put your mode in xorg.conf, it should use it , afaik
[17:22] <sTEPPZOR> well i be dammned.. it worked :P
[17:23] <sTEPPZOR> DARRRH
[17:24] <sTEPPZOR> im getting pissed off
[17:26] <SiDi> sTEPPZOR, you should ask in #ubuntu, really :] Or at worse post on the forum with a detailled explanation of what you want to do
[17:27] <SiDi> last time i wanted to mess with network it took me a while to get my "router" running, and there was no DHCP/DNS, and no wifi
[18:09] <SiDi> !info libgstreamer0.10-dev
[18:10] <SiDi> !info libnotify-dev
[20:19] <sTEPPZOR> anyone here care yo help me?
[20:23] <Slonkie> !question | sTEPPZOR
[20:27] <sTEPPZOR> Ive connected to a wireless router that have a internet connectio to it. But i cant browes the internet or ping any pages... anyone know a solution?
[20:34] <SiDi> heya Slonkie
[20:34] <SiDi> sTEPPZOR, can you ping IPs ?
[20:34] <Slonkie> Hi SiDi :).
[20:34] <SiDi> sTEPPZOR, you may have to read wiki.ubuntu.com 's pages about IPTABLES, by the way
[20:34] <sTEPPZOR> ive read that
[20:35] <sTEPPZOR> hmm
[20:35] <sTEPPZOR> iptables?
[20:35] <sTEPPZOR> no i cant ping IPs

[21:38] <sTEPPZOR_> ive configured the iptables.. ive managed to get my inet back on my laptop ive forwared the wlan0 connection to eth0 connection and masqed it
[21:39] <sTEPPZOR_> then ive managed to set a static ip on the desktop computer that will recive the shared connection from the linux computer
[21:39] <sTEPPZOR_> but i cant use inet on it
[21:39] <sTEPPZOR_> only local..
[21:41] <sTEPPZOR_> inet >wlan0 to eth0 |-----switch-----| to another computer on the local network. (but inet wont work on it) just trying to put it in simple words :P
