| PsynoKhi0 | uh "Macintosh Mouse button emulation"... why emulate 1 button when you have at 2? o.O | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | if you like white plastic? | 00:02 |
| PsynoKhi0 | I mean, under Mouse I have 2 devices, my Logitech and that tosh | 00:03 |
| PsynoKhi0 | just wondering, in case that would prevent me from using my mouse wheel to change desktop | 00:05 |
| PsynoKhi0 | something that hasn't changed from kubuntu though is that ufw apparently refuses to keep its "logging" setting | 00:06 |
| SiDi | ufw ? | 00:11 |
| SiDi | PsynoKhi0: i agree with you for wine but somehow it doesnt have one. Thank you if you file a bug for it (against xubuntu-desktop in launchpad.net) | 00:11 |
| PsynoKhi0 | SiDi: might be solved | 00:25 |
| PsynoKhi0 | NoDisplay=true <- my /usr/shar/applications/wine.desktop has that | 00:25 |
| Nameless_au | does xubuntu gave a graphical sudo program? | 00:27 |
| PsynoKhi0 | you mean gksudo? | 00:28 |
| Nameless_au | apt-get won't let me install gksudo | 00:29 |
| PsynoKhi0 | uh | 00:29 |
| PsynoKhi0 | gksudo is a command that's preinstalled | 00:30 |
| PsynoKhi0 | like... | 00:30 |
| PsynoKhi0 | gksudo synaptic | 00:30 |
| PsynoKhi0 | makes you launch the package manager from a terminal | 00:30 |
| PsynoKhi0 | but prompts you for password in a new window | 00:31 |
| PsynoKhi0 | SiDi: nvm wine.desktop it's not the app menu entry | 00:32 |
| SiDi | PsynoKhi0: gksudo asks for the password graphically and doesnt damage your home folder | 00:37 |
| SiDi | contrarily to sudo which is only for CLI apps | 00:37 |
| SiDi | (and for apps that dont touch your config files) | 00:37 |
| PsynoKhi0 | ? | 00:41 |
| PsynoKhi0 | bedtime, bye | 00:44 |
| coffeej | I need to install gspca to get my webcam working. downloaded from synaptic, but what now? | 00:55 |
| Soopa | Hello | 01:14 |
| Soopa | I'm trying to get wireless networking to start automatically | 01:15 |
| Soopa | nm-applet starts when I log in, but it wants a password | 01:15 |
| Soopa | how can I have wireless start at boot? | 01:15 |
| ron_o | coffeej, I don't know anything about gspca, however, you need to tell gspca where your webcam is, or viceversa. | 01:15 |
| ron_o | that really isn't a lot of help, I know, but that's about all I can tell you. | 01:16 |
| SiDi_ | Soopa: do you mean it asks for your network'sp assword ? | 01:16 |
| SiDi_ | Soopa: if so, did you enter it at least once correctly ? If you did it shouldnt ask it anymore | 01:16 |
| Soopa | SiDi_: No, I mean it asks for a keychain password | 01:16 |
| Soopa | or something like that | 01:17 |
| ron_o | is your webcam USB? plug it in and then run #demsg and it will probably tell you where it's located. | 01:17 |
| SiDi_ | (sudo dmesg, coffeej ) | 01:17 |

| wolfgang | what codecs do i need to download to play avi??? | 02:12 |
| wolfgang | my vlc player closes anytime i try to play any file | 02:12 |
| ron_o | wolfgang, dowload every codec you can find.. | 02:15 |
| ron_o | that's all I do. | 02:15 |
| wolfgang | hah thats pimp | 02:15 |
| wolfgang | ok | 02:15 |
| ron_o | try add/run programs and synaptic | 02:15 |
| wolfgang | ok | 02:15 |
| ron_o | especially gstreamer stuff | 02:15 |
| wolfgang | yeah becasue the program i was using to play the file couldnt find anything | 02:15 |
| ron_o | and run vlc in a terminal to see why it's crashing. | 02:15 |
| _Pete_ | or install all from medibuntu repos | 02:16 |
| wolfgang | im goa have to do it myself... also my vls player doesnt function at all | 02:16 |
| ron_o | I have several video players. I really like mplayer (no gui) or smplayer (gui version)... | 02:16 |
| _Pete_ | http://www.medibuntu.org/ | 02:16 |
| ron_o | the problem with mplayer itself is you need to manually install the codecs. | 02:16 |
| wolfgang | Illegal instruction | 02:16 |
| wolfgang | thats what it tells me whenever i try to open any file mp3 avi whatever | 02:17 |
| ron_o | try another video/audio player.. | 02:17 |
| ron_o | on xubuntu when using totem, many times it will ask you if you want to download more codecs to play the video. | 02:18 |
| wolfgang | yeah .. i like vls though dont know why its messe dup tried uninstalling it and istalling it again . | 02:18 |
| wolfgang | what is medibuntu? | 02:18 |
| ron_o | got to the site and it will tell you. | 02:18 |
| wolfgang | yeah thats what im doing | 02:19 |
| ron_o | it's a repository with all the stuff you may be looking for. | 02:19 |
| _Pete_ | for me after installing stuff from that | 02:19 |
| _Pete_ | everything works | 02:20 |
| _Pete_ | using hybridsystem | 02:20 |
| wolfgang | sweet | 02:20 |
| _Pete_ | Xfce desktop + some gnome/kde apps | 02:20 |
| _Pete_ | with this http://quadcore.homeunix.net/phpsysinfo/index.php?disp=dynamic | 02:21 |
| ron_o | actually, running mintubuntu is better for most folks. | 02:21 |
| ron_o | they include everything automatically for various multimedia codecs and such. | 02:22 |
| wolfgang | whats the difference betwen linux mint and mintubuntu.. same thing right | 02:22 |
| ron_o | well, let's get something straight... linux is a kernel. That's the core of the Operating System (OS). The media rerfer to all distros with linux kernel as a linux OS./ | 02:23 |
| ron_o | Ubuntu is just one flavor of linux OS. | 02:23 |
| _Pete_ | or better yet GNU linux | 02:23 |
| wolfgang | damn you have a pimp computer.. my main compute is an imac g3 with like 200 mb of ram | 02:23 |
| ron_o | xubuntu another... and then there's something like mintbuntu, which is just ubuntu with all the multimedia and other stuff already installed. | 02:23 |
| wolfgang | yeah | 02:23 |
| ron_o | _Pete_, yah.. :) | 02:23 |
| wolfgang | yeah | 02:24 |
| wolfgang | so is linux mint and mintubuntu the same thing? | 02:24 |
| ron_o | no.. is there a _linux mint_? | 02:24 |
| ron_o | I don't think so. | 02:24 |
| _Pete_ | wolfgang: are you totally newbie to linux? | 02:24 |
| wolfgang | hah | 02:25 |
| wolfgang | i guess os then | 02:25 |
| wolfgang | so | 02:25 |
| ron_o | mintbuntu just uses ubuntu as the base and then adds a few things to it to make it their own. Totally legit in the Open Source world. | 02:25 |
| wolfgang | http://www.linuxmint.com/ | 02:25 |
| wolfgang | yeah thats what linux mint is | 02:25 |
| wolfgang | its ubuntu based | 02:26 |
| _Pete_ | never tried that one | 02:26 |
| ron_o | wolfgang, sorry. That's my fault. That's what I meant. | 02:27 |
| ron_o | it's linuxmint, and not mintbuntu. | 02:27 |
| ron_o | Linuxmint is ubuntu with a few added codecs and multimedia already supplied with the distro. | 02:28 |
| ron_o | I have linuxmint setup as a virtual OS. | 02:29 |
| _Pete_ | have you tried this | 02:29 |
| ron_o | it really looks great. | 02:29 |
| _Pete_ | http://polishlinux.org/choose/quiz/ | 02:29 |
| _Pete_ | for me it gaves strange results | 02:29 |
| _Pete_ | like | 02:29 |
| _Pete_ | 1. Gentoo Linux | 02:29 |
| _Pete_ | 2. FreeBSD | 02:29 |
| _Pete_ | 3. NetBSD | 02:29 |
| _Pete_ | 4. Debian GNU/Linux | 02:29 |
| _Pete_ | 5. Archlinux | 02:30 |
| ron_o | never seen it before. | 02:30 |
| ron_o | Gentoo #1, it must mean you are a control freak. | 02:30 |
| ron_o | Gentoo really sux man. | 02:30 |
| _Pete_ | I think I am | 02:30 |
| ron_o | actually, I never tried gentoo by Sabayonlinux... but it was still difficult. | 02:30 |
| _Pete_ | since being pro programmer and doing that for a job also | 02:31 |
| ron_o | 1. Fedora | 02:32 |
| ron_o | 2. Ubuntu Linux | 02:32 |
| ron_o | 3. openSUSE | 02:32 |
| ron_o | 4. Debian GNU/Linux | 02:32 |
| ron_o | 5. Mandriva Linux | 02:32 |
| ron_o | it's not very useful, IMHO. | 02:32 |
| _Pete_ | which one? | 02:32 |
| ron_o | Fedora, me thinks is RPM based. I don't care for that much. | 02:33 |
| _Pete_ | yeah | 02:33 |
| ron_o | I don't think the quiz helps out much. | 02:33 |
| _Pete_ | actually started using linux with red hat | 02:33 |
| _Pete_ | with rpm-hell | 02:33 |
| ron_o | when people ask me I just tell them ubuntu or one of their flavors, like Linuxminut. | 02:33 |
| ron_o | hehe, me too, in 1999 or so. | 02:34 |
| ron_o | bought a book and everything. What a joke. | 02:34 |
| ron_o | dependencancy hell sucked. | 02:34 |
| _Pete_ | indeed | 02:34 |
| ron_o | why anyone would deal with such stuff like that, I have no idea. | 02:34 |
| _Pete_ | last time tried centos | 02:35 |
| _Pete_ | couple of years ago | 02:35 |
| ron_o | it was like that? | 02:35 |
| _Pete_ | yes | 02:35 |
| ron_o | is Redhat still like that? | 02:35 |
| _Pete_ | dont know | 02:35 |
| _Pete_ | and wont want to | 02:35 |
| ron_o | gawd, I hope not. What the hell. | 02:35 |
| _Pete_ | centos is something derieved from current rhos base | 02:35 |
| ron_o | that's why I hate compiling my own stuff. | 02:35 |
| ron_o | yup, it is. | 02:36 |
| _Pete_ | when I tried it | 02:36 |
| _Pete_ | yum was slow like shit | 02:36 |
| _Pete_ | compiling is most important part of my job | 02:37 |
| _Pete_ | and doing that also for/with linux | 02:37 |
| ron_o | then gentoo is for you. | 02:37 |
| === FlareFlare is now known as Flare183 | ||

| whitesmith | hey all | 07:24 |
| whitesmith | To get this out of the way: I'm completely now to Xubuntu, and am an amateur with Linux in general. | 07:25 |
| whitesmith | I was wondering if someone could tell me how to gain access to my Windows/NTFS partition from within Xubuntu. | 07:26 |
| forces | since xubuntu 7.10, xubuntu has active by default read/write NTFS | 07:27 |
| whitesmith | That's great to hear! How do I get to the partition in File Manager, though? | 07:28 |
| whitesmith | I'm assuming the Filesystem shortcut is just for the partition that Xubuntu is installed on. | 07:30 |
| forces | you should see the partition in thunar | 07:31 |
| forces | you can mount it with a "click" | 07:31 |
| whitesmith | I don't see it, though. Maybe it wasn't auto-detected? | 07:32 |
| whitesmith | Thank you very much for the help, by the way. | 07:33 |
| heroid_ | i have a problem | 07:38 |
| heroid_ | with my xubuntu | 07:39 |
| heroid_ | it doesnt display my other ntfs drive | 07:39 |
| whitesmith | It looks like heroid and I have a similar issue. | 07:39 |
| heroid_ | how do i display thme | 07:40 |
| heroid_ | them | 07:40 |
| heroid_ | because ubuntu is to damn slow | 07:40 |
| heroid_ | in that pc | 07:40 |
| psycho_oreos | I'd check to see if the device was even detected, and there are more partitions and dmesg showed no errors | 07:44 |
| whitesmith | Yeah, see... Problem with that is I'm a newbie; no idea how to do that. | 07:51 |
| psycho_oreos | dump your lsusb output along with fdisk -l (this requires root), and the last few lines of dmesg (dmesg| tail) into pastebin | 07:52 |

| marcPV | i got an error on the updates, any idea? | 08:10 |
| whitesmith | Still there, psycho_oreos? | 08:16 |
| zetheroo | thunar is not working properly for me | 08:17 |
| zetheroo | when I try to change the default program that documents open with, the settings are not kept | 08:18 |
| kbmaniac | intok, I am not the most knowledgeable here, but you had 8.10 on it, working I assume, now the 8.10 live cd refuses to give you X, sounds like a hardware issue | 08:19 |
| SiDi | zetheroo: did you ever run thunar with sudo in the past ? | 08:19 |
| zetheroo | yes | 08:20 |
| SiDi | zetheroo: do not do it ever again | 08:20 |
| zetheroo | ummm | 08:20 |
| zetheroo | why not? | 08:20 |
| SiDi | when you use sudo, it will use your home directory's config files but with root rights | 08:20 |
| kbmaniac | intok, have you tried unplugging ALL usb devices, power down and try again with live CD ? | 08:20 |
| intok | kbmaniac tested for that already hardware checked out in windows | 08:20 |
| SiDi | and so the files will be created with ownership to root and you wont be able to write on them | 08:20 |
| SiDi | zetheroo: if you cant write on the files, settings are not changed anymore ;) | 08:20 |
| kbmaniac | So 98 installed and worked AOK | 08:20 |
| SiDi | zetheroo: "sudo chown -R <yourname>:<yourname> ~/.config | 08:21 |
| intok | and yep had nothing but PS/2 kb mouse and monitor connected the entire time | 08:21 |
| zetheroo | SiDi: so that command will fix it? | 08:21 |
| kbmaniac | ...mmm... thinking | 08:22 |
| kbmaniac | intok, when you say USB drivers refused to load, what exactly happened ? kernal panic ? | 08:22 |
| zetheroo | SiDi: so thunar cannot be run with root privileges ? | 08:23 |
| zetheroo | I have installed nautilus now .... | 08:23 |
| SiDi | zetheroo: DO NOT run nautilus with root privileges | 08:24 |
| SiDi | zetheroo: there is "gksudo" for using graphical apps instead of sudo ;) | 08:24 |
| SiDi | gksudo manages the config files correctly, without risk | 08:24 |
| SiDi | and you should never never use sudo or gksudo for a file manager | 08:24 |
| SiDi | this IS dangerous, you can easily trash files | 08:25 |
| zetheroo | thats what I do ... sorry I did not make that clear before | 08:25 |
| SiDi | oh | 08:25 |
| zetheroo | I always use gksudo for that | 08:25 |
| SiDi | hm did you still typed that chown command above, | 08:25 |
| intok | kbmaniac at that point in the install it had not crashed but had stayed at 94% for over an hour and a half, even given the gage of said hardware I had to assume that the install had crashed silently, 94% was where the gui was telling me that the usb drivers where being installed. but from previous installs on this same hardware the install never took more then 30-40 mins to complete | 08:25 |
| zetheroo | SiDi: doing it now | 08:26 |
| zetheroo | SiDi: ok did it | 08:27 |
| kbmaniac | intok, have you thought of using the alternative install CD, I did it a long while ago, it is a text based install so you can see more what is happening | 08:27 |
| zetheroo | SiDi: its still not working | 08:27 |
| kbmaniac | intok, though its wierd, if 98 installs and runs AOK, hardware is basically AOK + you used to run 8.04 on it so its compatible ???? | 08:28 |
| intok | kbmaniac never tried it before, but I give it a shot, already grabbing the official torrent | 08:28 |
| zetheroo | I go into the document properties and try to change the program it opens with and it does not stick ... as soon as I close the properties box the document is set back to opening with Abiword | 08:28 |
| SiDi | zetheroo: go to .local/share/applications | 08:29 |
| SiDi | and tell me who owns mimelist file | 08:29 |
| zetheroo | I own it | 08:29 |
| zetheroo | read and write permissions | 08:29 |
| intok | kbmaniac yeah, I was playing around with the machine with xubuntu and qimo a kids mod of of xubuntu that apparently isn't going anywhere now after their first release, so I was going to go back to xubuntu, I was planing on giving the box to my cousin's kids who are 2, 4 and 6, but edubuntu is a bit heavy for the hardware | 08:30 |
| zetheroo1 | this is zetheroo ---- ok now I am on the Xubuntu machine | 08:30 |
| zetheroo1 | I can open the mimeapps.list file and see there the changes I am trying to implement | 08:31 |
| zetheroo1 | [Added Associations] | 08:31 |
| zetheroo1 | text/richtext=IBM Lotus Symphony.desktop; | 08:31 |
| zetheroo1 | application/rtf=IBM Lotus Symphony.desktop; | 08:31 |
| kbmaniac | intok, good luck, if xubuntu is slow, look at zenwalk, it has some limitations but is a faster XFCE | 08:32 |
| SiDi | zetheroo1: please find a png image and make it open with firefox | 08:33 |
| SiDi | and tell me if it works | 08:33 |
| zetheroo1 | hmmm | 08:33 |
| zetheroo1 | a PNG | 08:33 |
| intok | kbmaniac it's a bit slow for some things yeah, but for basically a diy leapfrog/playskool machine it was plenty fast. not like the little ones are going to be fragging in quake for a few years at least... but then again ... | 08:34 |
| zetheroo1 | SiDi: yes that worked | 08:36 |
| SiDi | zetheroo1: is IBM Lotus Symphony.desktop working ? | 08:36 |
| SiDi | and what kind of file are you asking it to open ? and how do you do exactly ? | 08:36 |
| zetheroo1 | the program IBM Lotus Symphony is working | 08:37 |
| zetheroo1 | I also had the same issue with trying to change the default to OpenOffice Writer | 08:37 |
| zetheroo1 | this is an RTF file | 08:37 |
| zetheroo1 | but its with any document | 08:38 |
| whitesmith | So, I guess no one has any idea what I should do with regards to accessing my NTFS partition? | 08:38 |
| kbmaniac | intok, :) | 08:38 |
| zetheroo1 | SiDi: again ... it works perfectly in Nautilus .... | 08:39 |
| SiDi | zetheroo1: sounds weird to me :-| | 08:42 |
| zetheroo1 | yeah I know ... :) | 08:42 |
| zetheroo1 | is there a way i could try it out in the terminal and see if there is an output of some kind | 08:43 |
| zetheroo1 | ? | 08:43 |
| SiDi | nope | 08:43 |
| SiDi | it works here if i change this kind of files to OOO | 08:43 |
| SiDi | when you do right click -> properties -> open with | 08:43 |
| SiDi | is Lotus listed ? | 08:43 |
| zetheroo1 | I wish i could remove Abiword | 08:43 |
| zetheroo1 | yes its there | 08:44 |
| SiDi | select it and close, double click | 08:44 |
| zetheroo1 | yes and it opens with Abiword | 08:44 |
| SiDi | :( | 08:44 |
| SiDi | *idea* | 08:45 |
| zetheroo1 | I am removing Abiword | 08:45 |
| SiDi | are you *sure* its an RTF file ? | 08:45 |
| zetheroo1 | yep | 08:45 |
| zetheroo1 | :) | 08:45 |
| SiDi | if its named .XXX but its .YYY it'll use the .YYY's file handler | 08:45 |
| SiDi | ah | 08:45 |
| zetheroo1 | the file is called Linux.rtf | 08:46 |
| SiDi | and does the file ommand say its a rtf ? :p | 08:48 |
| zetheroo1 | yep | 08:48 |
| zetheroo1 | what about a program like gconfig | 08:49 |
| zetheroo1 | can i change it in there?. | 08:50 |
| * SiDi doesn't know | 08:50 | |
| zetheroo1 | useless | 08:58 |
| zetheroo1 | argh | 08:58 |
| MikeChelen | is there any way to run desktop icons with a single-click? | 09:20 |
| TheSheep | they were supposed to fix it in 4.6 but they didn't | 09:25 |
| TheSheep | just disabled icons and put large panel with launchers instead | 09:26 |
| MikeChelen | aww | 09:26 |
| MikeChelen | i like using single-click for the file manager | 09:26 |
| TheSheep | yeah | 09:26 |
| MikeChelen | want it available for desktop as well | 09:26 |
| TheSheep | I'm with you there | 09:27 |
| MikeChelen | i guess the panel launchers will do | 09:27 |
| MikeChelen | any idea if there is a feature request somewhere i can +1? | 09:27 |
| TheSheep | in the xfce's bugtracker | 09:27 |
| MikeChelen | cool thanks, ill look there | 09:28 |
| Nameless_au | i guess this is more a linux question, but... in terminal, in order for me to paste what i've copied i must press shift and insert. is there a way to make good ol' ctrl-V paste into terminal? | 10:45 |
| MikeChelen | shift+control+v | 11:03 |
| MikeChelen | Nameless_au, that works in xfce4-terminal | 11:03 |
| Nameless_au | MikeChelen: sheers i knew that, but for some reason those keystrokes are unresponsive | 11:04 |
| Nameless_au | hence my use of shift-insert | 11:05 |
| MikeChelen | hmm well shift insert is another option | 11:05 |
| Nameless_au | sheers=cheers | 11:05 |
| MikeChelen | but shift+control+v should work too | 11:05 |
| MikeChelen | ah lol | 11:05 |
| Nameless_au | i agree it should lol | 11:05 |
| MikeChelen | maybe the keyboard shortcuts got changed? | 11:05 |
| Nameless_au | maybe, dunno - i'll live with ctrl-shift-v working most of the time | 11:06 |
| Nameless_au | maybe different terminal | 11:07 |
| Nameless_au | ive seen 3 different ones on here so far | 11:07 |
| MikeChelen | yeah that's possible | 11:42 |
| kasia_ | hi, how could i change the appearance of gtk apps in xubuntu to match with my destop? I would like them to look like thunar with oxygen icons from kde | 14:38 |

| Slonkie | places as in thunar? | 14:58 |
| bazhang | evening all; how to change the clock time to 12 hr from 24 hr? | 15:01 |
| bazhang | this is jaunty btw | 15:02 |
| ablomen | bazhang, right click on clock=>properties=>uncheck use 24-hour clock | 15:02 |
| bazhang | ablomen, thanks much! | 15:03 |
| Nameless_au | that doesnt work | 15:03 |
| ablomen | did that change? | 15:03 |
| bazhang | just testing it; not my computer (helping someone else) | 15:04 |
| Nameless_au | is there somewhere where i can do a screenshot paste? | 15:04 |
| Nameless_au | bazhang: i have xubuntu xfce running now it will not work | 15:04 |
| ablomen | pastebin.ca | 15:04 |
| ablomen | oh and that goes to Imagebin :) | 15:05 |
| ablomen | (.ca) | 15:05 |
| Nameless_au | ablomen: http://imagebin.ca/view/8Oqru8Rl.html | 15:09 |
| Nameless_au | shows what options are avail | 15:09 |
| Nameless_au | you can see that it has 24-hr time with PM :) | 15:10 |
| Nameless_au | you can put custom, but i don't know what the parameters are | 15:10 |
| Nameless_au | ian_ is here about the same bug | 15:10 |
| ian_ | i'm heree!!! | 15:11 |
| ablomen | ah.. | 15:13 |
| Nameless_au | i think that is an xfce thing personally but i could be wrong | 15:13 |
| Nameless_au | ian_ WAS here about the same bug... | 15:29 |
| Nameless_au | ablomen: i have found a fix for the clock | 15:51 |
| ablomen | ok cool, but bazhang is gone already :) | 15:51 |
| Nameless_au | ablomen: the clock uses the strftime variables, so to do what he wanted to do | 15:51 |
| Nameless_au | in 'Custom', paste %l:%M %P | 15:52 |
| Nameless_au | voila | 15:52 |
| ablomen | :) | 15:52 |
| Nameless_au | all available variables are found here: http://au2.php.net/strftime | 15:52 |
| Nameless_au | that is officially my first workaround for the Open Source community. Thank you. | 15:53 |
| * Nameless_au takes a bow | 15:53 | |
| Nameless_au | it wasn't bazhang with the problem, it was me and ian_ | 15:53 |
| ablomen | ah | 15:54 |
| Nameless_au | ablomen would you know how to increase the font in panel apps? | 16:03 |
| ablomen | some apps scale fonts (so if you make the pannel bigger the font gets bigger) but only a few, the only other option i know is change the font size of the user interface (in the settings manager) | 16:05 |
| Nameless_au | i'm looking at xfce's keyboard layout app | 16:05 |
| Nameless_au | yes, as i increase the panel, the font of the 'us' or 'ru' on the button increases | 16:06 |
| Nameless_au | it's just at a normal sized panel, the 'us' and 'ru' on the button is too small | 16:06 |
| Nameless_au | in my ~/.config/xfce4/panel/ folder i have a file called xkb-plugin-12469673334.rc , the contents of which are here: http://pastebin.ca/1486950 | 16:11 |
| Nameless_au | are there variables i can add in this file to increase font? or is the actual button i see in the gui a small jpeg or somethign similar? | 16:12 |

| Nameless_au | i have a program asking for me to specify where libxfce4util4 is installed on my system, and to point to it in the $PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable. however, although i can confirm it is installed, i don't know how to tell $PKG_CONFIG_PATH where it is because i can't find libxfce4util4 at all | 17:09 |

| c0nfus3d | Hi All, I am trying to figure how I can change the text in Ubiquity "Prepare Disk Space" window - kindly refer the following image - http://imagebin.org/54855 | 17:18 |
| charlie-tca__ | Perhaps better to ask that in #ubuntu-installer, where they work with Ubiquity more | 17:18 |
| charlie-tca__ | That text normally changes with each version you are installing | 17:19 |
| c0nfus3d | ok chanks charlie-tca__ | 17:20 |

| SiDi | th0r: found the solution ? | 18:42 |
| === Hetor` is now known as z0mg | ||
| th0r | SiDi: yup. I am running a straight ubuntu install and added xfce afterwards. When I did, xfce kept metacity as the wm instead of switching to xfwm4. Changed to that and the whole issue went away. Additionally, a small video glitch that had plagued me disappeared <smile> | 18:44 |
| === z0mg is now known as Hetor` | ||
| SiDi | th0r: oh crap | 18:52 |
| SiDi | th0r: did you install "xfce" or "xubuntu-desktop" ? | 18:53 |
| Nameless_au | is there a difference in: 1) installing ubuntu and then installing Xfce 2) Installing Xubuntu ? | 18:53 |
| th0r | SiDi: just xfce | 18:53 |
| th0r | SiDi: been wondering if I should go back and install the xubuntu desktop...think so? | 18:54 |
| charlie-tca__ | There is a difference between installing xfce and installing xubuntu-desktop. | 18:54 |
| charlie-tca__ | xubuntu-desktop is a metapackage to insure all the components get installed, xfce is just the desktop | 18:55 |
| SiDi | th0r: you can install it now | 18:55 |
| th0r | SiDi: yeah...think it might be a good idea | 18:55 |
| SiDi | th0r: contains the whole xfce desktop + some goodies + artwork + our default settings | 18:55 |
| charlie-tca__ | + xfwm + ... | 18:56 |
| th0r | SiDi: kind of wish I had opted for xubuntu in the first place....knew from the getgo I was going to use xfce | 18:56 |
| th0r | charlie-tca__: xfwm was there, it just wasn't picked up as the wm when I switched the session to xfce | 18:56 |
| charlie-tca__ | Which is what xubuntu-desktop helps make happen | 18:57 |
| th0r | charlie-tca__: yeah...got it installing now. But I wish they would delete totem from the dependencies list...I hate that program | 18:59 |
| charlie-tca__ | It works, though | 18:59 |
| th0r | charlie-tca__: maybe for you...I have never succeeded in getting it to work right. Will always kick something out that vlc accepts without complaining | 19:00 |
| th0r | charlie-tca__: and I know all my mime types will be changed to that now and I will have to go back one by one and make them vlc again | 19:00 |

| rameshwor | timeout: don't know ntfs-3g installed or not ... i used xfce from ubuntu ...8.10 | 19:16 |

| timeout | intok: is there any information during the install at all? Isn't there a boot time option to turn on messages etc? | 19:31 |
| timeout | intok: when it hangs at 94% is it doing something, like downloading- I'm just trying to remember- are you on the net? | 19:32 |

| intok | SiDi its an S3 card, it's the only old AGP card I had that would do 1600x1200 @ 32 Savage4 GT AGP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savage4#Savage4 | 19:37 |
| intok | timeout tried live cds same issue, when it hung on install there was no hdd or network activity | 19:38 |
| intok | it's all very strange that it suddnely crashed and now refuses to load a gui in linux but windows 98 will still run fine... | 19:39 |
| SiDi | intok: i dont think you will find linux drivers for recent kernels for this card | 19:39 |
| SiDi | if you try a linux from 98 it will run fine too. :P | 19:39 |
| timeout | intok: ok- so you can't boot the kernel. Hmmm.. it is strange | 19:40 |
| intok | SiDi true there was a regression in the drivers from 8.04 to 8.10 but 8.10 still ran perfectly till I had reinstalled, I had gone from xubuntu 8.10 to qimo linux 1.0 and was going back to xubuntu 8.10 when it crashed during install, till then the box had run linux just fine | 19:41 |
| SiDi | http://knoppix-fr.org/hardware/5 intok | 19:41 |
| SiDi | oh | 19:41 |
| SiDi | well 9.04 has a new X.org server | 19:42 |
| SiDi | so there is little chance the S3 devs made drivers for it | 19:42 |
| SiDi | there is a channel for ubuntu install problems though | 19:42 |
| SiDi | #ubuntu-installer if my memory doesnt betray me | 19:42 |
| intok | SiDi I had figured the unichrome devs would have made drivers for it since they used the savage chipset in many motherboard chipsets preceeding the chrome series gpous form S3 | 19:43 |
| SiDi | intok: im really not the guy who would know about that ^.^ | 19:44 |
| intok | SiDi the link you gave says the savage4 works perfectly | 19:45 |
| timeout | intok: can you install without gui? | 19:45 |
| SiDi | intok: its for knoppix, they have older kernel / xorg | 19:46 |
| intok | timeout yes, I installed 9.04 with the alt install but I get the same issue | 19:46 |
| timeout | But the graphics card shouldn't be stopping the kernel from booting- if there's a graphics problem you should get kicked to a console at least | 19:47 |
| timeout | but you're not sure if it isn't something to do with your usb? | 19:48 |
| PsynoKhi0 | on older hardware I usually use noapic nolapic acpi=off as kernel parameters | 19:51 |
| intok | timeout as far as I can tell it's moved into just being a gui problem that hadn't previously existed at all using the same versions of xubuntu on the same hardware, and it's not a hardware fault as it still runs windows 98 without fault, and it's shouldn't be a usb isue as no usb devices where connected at the time of install | 19:52 |
| PsynoKhi0 | have you tried those? they're available from a menu when you press F6 at at the cd boot screen | 19:52 |
| timeout | intok: you should try PsynoKhi0's advice. Also, see here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Kernel_parameters | 19:56 |
| timeout | strange though, that a distro which used to work doesn't now | 19:56 |
| timeout | you don't have a spare mobo lying around somewhere? | 19:57 |
| intok | slot 1 mobo? no, I'll try the acpi stuff | 20:07 |
| Raggs | why is there so much gnome in Xubuntu? | 20:07 |
| PsynoKhi0 | careful, 2 are spelled with aPIC, one with aCPI | 20:07 |
| charlie-tca__ | It isn't gnome, but if an application used in gnome works the best for xubuntu, it is included | 20:08 |
| PsynoKhi0 | they're different things though the acronyms are similar | 20:08 |
| PsynoKhi0 | Raggs: you mean GTK apps? | 20:08 |
| Raggs | just looking in synaptic i see a bunch of gnome stuff, network manager, games and such | 20:09 |
| charlie-tca__ | Raggs, Xubuntu will use whatever works best. | 20:10 |
| Raggs | best or easiest | 20:11 |
| charlie-tca__ | both, best and easiest. If the app works well and doesn't use a lot of resources, why not let gnome maintain it | 20:11 |
| PsynoKhi0 | at least no mono ;P | 20:11 |
| charlie-tca__ | mono is resources | 20:12 |
| PsynoKhi0 | too controversial for me to bother with for now | 20:13 |
| charlie-tca__ | leave the controversy behind, use what works without breaking my 256MB ram | 20:14 |
| evonise`emp | hey guys, when doing xubuntu install from the live CD, i ran into this problem: laptop freezes at 5% xubuntu install "partitions formatting" creating ext3 file system in partition #1 SCSI1 (0,0,0) | 20:36 |
| charlie-tca__ | evonise`emp: how much memory do you have? | 20:37 |
| evonise`emp | charlie-tca__ i have 512mb ram | 20:37 |
| evonise`emp | charlie-tca__ i also tried ubuntu, but i also had problems there | 20:37 |
| charlie-tca__ | Might not be freezing, but working. It can take several minutes to get through some parts | 20:37 |
| evonise`emp | charlie-tca__ the mouse was not moving anymore.. is that normal? | 20:38 |
| charlie-tca__ | no | 20:38 |
| evonise`emp | charlie-tca__ for such a long time, while ubuntu also did that | 20:38 |
| charlie-tca__ | mouse always moves for me. But I have seen it take 16 minutes at times | 20:38 |
| evonise`emp | charlie-tca__ so when my mouse stops from moving, and the HDD stops from making sounds | 20:39 |
| charlie-tca__ | Is the disk already formatted? | 20:39 |
| evonise`emp | the whole computer stops making sounds | 20:39 |
| evonise`emp | well | 20:39 |
| evonise`emp | i first had windows XP running smoothly, then i tried windows 7, | 20:39 |
| evonise`emp | but it failed | 20:39 |
| evonise`emp | blue screens and stuff | 20:39 |
| charlie-tca__ | If you are using the entire disk, you could remove the partitions first, then restart and run the install | 20:39 |
| evonise`emp | then i tried ubuntu, but that failed the same as xubuntu now | 20:39 |
| charlie-tca__ | Maybe you have a bad disk? | 20:39 |
| evonise`emp | i did a drive fitness check | 20:40 |
| evonise`emp | it ran fine | 20:40 |
| evonise`emp | (did that because someone from ubuntu supoprt channel told me | 20:40 |
| evonise`emp | also did a mem test for about 1,5 hours (from the ubuntu cd) | 20:40 |
| evonise`emp | did the alternate install from ubuntu | 20:40 |
| evonise`emp | they freeze at different percentages, but they all freeze | 20:41 |
| evonise`emp | and i checked the CD from errors everytime i burned a diferent on | 20:41 |
| evonise`emp | charlie-tca__, any ideas? | 20:41 |
| charlie-tca__ | could still be a bad cd drive | 20:41 |
| evonise`emp | ye true | 20:41 |
| evonise`emp | how can i check that? | 20:42 |
| charlie-tca__ | I had one installed 15 out of 16 times. It failed on something like the 8th install, come to find out the cd drive was bad | 20:42 |
| charlie-tca__ | look in the installer logs | 20:42 |
| evonise`emp | how can i see those? | 20:42 |
| charlie-tca__ | If you boot from the live cd, look in /var/log/installer | 20:43 |
| evonise`emp | ok thanks m8! | 20:43 |
| evonise`emp | ill try that right away | 20:43 |
| charlie-tca__ | If you boot from the alternate cd, go to alt-F2 and look in /var/log/installer | 20:43 |
| evonise`emp | ill do it from the live cd of xubunty | 20:43 |
| evonise`emp | can i see logs from older install attempts? | 20:44 |
| evonise`emp | or only from the latest | 20:44 |
| charlie-tca__ | Sometimes they will still be there and you can look at them. | 20:44 |
| evonise`emp | k cool | 20:44 |
| evonise`emp | this channel is much easier to talk in | 20:44 |
| evonise`emp | the ubuntu channel is so crowded | 20:45 |
| evonise`emp | :p | 20:45 |
| evonise`emp | i could barely see who is talking to me hah | 20:45 |
| charlie-tca__ | and we even know the answer sometimes | 20:45 |
| evonise`emp | ye that would be a sad thing :p | 20:45 |
| evonise`emp | then i would try windows XP again on my laptop -.- | 20:45 |
| evonise`emp | oh i misread ur last thing | 20:46 |
| charlie-tca__ | :-) | 20:46 |
| evonise`emp | thought u said: and we NEVER know the answer sometimes | 20:46 |
| evonise`emp | lol | 20:46 |
| evonise`emp | charlie-tca__ there is no such log | 20:49 |
| evonise`emp | ? | 20:49 |
| evonise`emp | . /var/log/installer | 20:49 |
| charlie-tca__ | should be in system, /var/log/installer | 20:50 |
| charlie-tca__ | Is there anything in /var/log ? | 20:50 |
| evonise`emp | yes | 20:50 |
| evonise`emp | a few folders, and files | 20:50 |
| evonise`emp | apparmor, apt, concolekit, cups (folders) | 20:51 |
| charlie-tca__ | but no installer folder. Look at dmesg | 20:51 |
| evonise`emp | and more.. | 20:51 |
| evonise`emp | i see dmesg | 20:51 |
| charlie-tca__ | see if it has anything about the cd drive | 20:51 |
| evonise`emp | what is dmesg | 20:51 |
| evonise`emp | there is allot in it ... | 20:52 |
| evonise`emp | 30 kb plain text | 20:52 |
| evonise`emp | charlie-tca__ where should i look for | 20:52 |
| evonise`emp | ? | 20:52 |
| charlie-tca__ | Just gotta look for cd drive, see if it mentions anything. | 20:53 |
| charlie-tca__ | I usually go through the entire log, scanning for things mentioning it. | 20:53 |
| evonise`emp | ok | 20:54 |
| evonise`emp | it says alot about the cd | 20:54 |
| charlie-tca__ | You might have to try to install again, then when it hangs, hit Alt+F4, which gives a running log of the install. It will tell the time it last did anything | 20:54 |
| evonise`emp | kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/casper blabla | 20:55 |
| charlie-tca__ | check the minutes and seconds against the clock to see how long it sits | 20:55 |
| evonise`emp | if it hangs, will it do alt f4? | 20:55 |
| charlie-tca__ | It if it frozen, check the /var/log/installer logs, and dmesg for why | 20:55 |
| evonise`emp | bacause i cant do anything when it freezes, i just turn off the laptop | 20:55 |
| charlie-tca__ | does caps lock or num lock blink the lights at all? | 20:56 |
| evonise`emp | ill try next time, but my laptop doesnt have these lights i thought lolo | 20:56 |
| charlie-tca__ | ohhh | 20:56 |
| evonise`emp | oh yes it has them | 20:56 |
| evonise`emp | so i can check that | 20:56 |
| evonise`emp | if it hangs | 20:56 |
| evonise`emp | nice on | 20:56 |
| evonise`emp | one | 20:56 |
| charlie-tca__ | If the lights work, it is not frozen | 20:56 |
| charlie-tca__ | it is just working | 20:57 |
| evonise`emp | if it hangs, and caps is doing anything, i can do alt f4 ? | 20:57 |
| charlie-tca__ | yes | 20:57 |
| evonise`emp | ok ill try that first | 20:57 |
| evonise`emp | byt | 20:57 |
| evonise`emp | but | 20:57 |
| evonise`emp | in dmesg | 20:57 |
| PsynoKhi0 | charlie-tca__: or it's a kernel panic :P | 20:57 |
| evonise`emp | there is no time indicator | 20:57 |
| evonise`emp | lol whats that | 20:57 |
| charlie-tca__ | If it is working hard, it might take a minute to switch. | 20:57 |
| evonise`emp | to switch caps light? | 20:57 |
| charlie-tca__ | time indicator is the numbers on the left | 20:57 |
| charlie-tca__ | hours, minutes, seconds | 20:57 |
| PsynoKhi0 | keyboard lights blink when the kernel goes loopy | 20:57 |
| evonise`emp | loopy? what? | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca__ | PsynoKhi0: that won't apply if he hits caps lock to see the light | 20:58 |
| PsynoKhi0 | ah nvm I' ll just confuse you :D | 20:58 |
| evonise`emp | oh lol wait :p | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca__ | they blink on their own for a kernel panic | 20:58 |
| evonise`emp | hahaha PsynoKhi0 :D | 20:58 |
| evonise`emp | ok | 20:58 |
| evonise`emp | but the time indicator says: 2.62xxx all the time | 20:59 |
| charlie-tca__ | that ain't it. | 20:59 |
| PsynoKhi0 | it was a pun at "< charlie-tca__> If the lights work, it is not frozen" | 20:59 |
| PsynoKhi0 | :) | 20:59 |
| evonise`emp | then there is no time indicator | 20:59 |
| charlie-tca__ | you are right. You will see it during the install on Alt+F4 though | 20:59 |
| evonise`emp | k | 21:00 |
| charlie-tca__ | Usually the hours are off, but minutes are right | 21:00 |
| evonise`emp | ill try to install again, and see if caps lights work | 21:00 |
| evonise`emp | they should go instantly right? | 21:00 |
| charlie-tca__ | It should not stall more than a minute or two at a time | 21:00 |
| charlie-tca__ | no, not instantly if it is busy, but within a minute or so | 21:00 |
| evonise`emp | k | 21:00 |
| evonise`emp | thanks ill try it now | 21:00 |
| charlie-tca__ | Gotta go to a meeting now | 21:00 |
| === muse1 is now known as muse | ||
| evonise`emp | charlie-tca__ ok! | 21:15 |
| evonise`emp | hey guys, ive been trying to install xbutuntu on my laptop, but im getting random freezes at different points in the install process. what can be wrong? | 21:39 |
| PsynoKhi0 | pretty much anything | 21:47 |
| PsynoKhi0 | can you run a live session? | 21:49 |
| charlie-tca__ | evonise`emp: did that Alt+F4 work? | 21:51 |
| evonise`emp | charlie-tca__ hey man, no luck there | 22:02 |
| evonise`emp | charlie-tca__ i came a bit further | 22:02 |
| evonise`emp | though | 22:02 |
| evonise`emp | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/253321 | 22:02 |
| evonise`emp | this bug is i think what i have | 22:02 |
| evonise`emp | someone also states having the same laptop as me, and someone knows a workaround, and he says that the problem is because of his cd player (which is the same as mine!) | 22:03 |
| evonise`emp | but i dont know how to do that workaround -.- | 22:03 |
| evonise`emp | can u help me? | 22:03 |
| charlie-tca__ | You saw this: The problem was due to my CD drive, QSI SBW-242, causing occasional system freezes, when used with UDMA/33. | 22:04 |
| evonise`emp | yes | 22:05 |
| evonise`emp | and then that workaround | 22:05 |
| evonise`emp | i dont know how to do that | 22:05 |
| evonise`emp | i tried adding this | 22:05 |
| evonise`emp | options libata force=2.00:pio4 | 22:05 |
| evonise`emp | to the line | 22:05 |
| evonise`emp | but maybe because im trying to install xubuntu now, is that a problem? | 22:05 |
| charlie-tca__ | You use the alternate cd and hit F6 before starting the install, at the menu | 22:05 |
| evonise`emp | since that is ubuntu | 22:05 |
| charlie-tca__ | Then you type that into the end of the line on screen, after the dashes | 22:06 |
| evonise`emp | ah then i need to burn the alternate install again lol | 22:06 |
| charlie-tca__ | then hit enter | 22:06 |
| evonise`emp | after -- ? | 22:06 |
| charlie-tca__ | yeah | 22:06 |
| evonise`emp | so xxx -- options libata force=2.00:pio4 | 22:06 |
| charlie-tca__ | yeah | 22:06 |
| evonise`emp | i tried that | 22:06 |
| evonise`emp | with xubuntu | 22:06 |
| charlie-tca__ | Is this a laptop? | 22:06 |
| evonise`emp | yes | 22:06 |
| evonise`emp | Aspire 1310 | 22:06 |
| evonise`emp | but i tried blabla -- options libata force=2.00:pio4 | 22:07 |
| evonise`emp | and it freezed even during the selection of keyboard | 22:07 |
| evonise`emp | so it freezed much faster this time | 22:07 |
| charlie-tca__ | The freeze point jumps around? | 22:07 |
| evonise`emp | the point of freeze differs yes | 22:08 |
| evonise`emp | just like they say on that bug reoprt | 22:08 |
| evonise`emp | but mostly on 22-23% of copying files | 22:08 |
| charlie-tca__ | ooops, instead, hit f6 at the menu of the live cd, type break=top | 22:08 |
| evonise`emp | hm | 22:09 |
| evonise`emp | and which option should i do then | 22:09 |
| charlie-tca__ | When the prompt comes up, type echo 'options libata dma=0' >> /etc/modprobe.d/options | 22:09 |
| evonise`emp | ye tey said that there, but how can i type there? | 22:09 |
| evonise`emp | it goes so fast | 22:09 |
| PsynoKhi0 | evonise`emp: nothing, press escape to close the popup | 22:09 |
| charlie-tca__ | break=top should make it quit | 22:09 |
| evonise`emp | aaah | 22:09 |
| evonise`emp | i c | 22:09 |
| PsynoKhi0 | f6 -> esc -> type "break=top" | 22:09 |
| evonise`emp | ok | 22:10 |
| PsynoKhi0 | without quotes | 22:10 |
| evonise`emp | but | 22:10 |
| evonise`emp | the option i choose | 22:10 |
| evonise`emp | is Install xubuntu right | 22:10 |
| evonise`emp | not try it first from cd | 22:10 |
| evonise`emp | and then isntall | 22:10 |
| charlie-tca__ | I am looking at the menu, just a minute | 22:10 |
| evonise`emp | k cool | 22:10 |
| evonise`emp | i was searching on google for a screenie :p | 22:10 |

| evonise`emp | whitesmith yes | 22:11 |
| evonise`emp | whitesmith nvm, i thought u were talking to me ;p | 22:11 |
| charlie-tca__ | evonise`emp: F6, ESC, break=top after the -- | 22:12 |
| evonise`emp | PsynoKhi0, i do f6, | 22:12 |
| evonise`emp | yes | 22:12 |
| charlie-tca__ | Use Install Xubuntu | 22:12 |
| evonise`emp | i have that now | 22:12 |
| evonise`emp | ok | 22:12 |
| evonise`emp | then i have to type it again | 22:12 |
| charlie-tca__ | It will stop partway, at a # I think | 22:12 |
| evonise`emp | cus it dissapears when i use down arrows | 22:13 |
| charlie-tca__ | type the echo in, hit enter | 22:13 |
| charlie-tca__ | type exit, hit enter | 22:13 |
| charlie-tca__ | It should go on | 22:13 |
| charlie-tca__ | what disappears? | 22:13 |
| PsynoKhi0 | evonise`emp: highlight Install Xubuntu, hit f6, then esc, type break=top, press enter | 22:13 |
| evonise`emp | PsynoKhi0 yes, idid that now, np charlie-tca__ | 22:14 |
| charlie-tca__ | bad disk or bad cd drive | 22:14 |
| evonise`emp | now i see: (initframfs) _ (flashing _) | 22:14 |
| evonise`emp | because of the break=top probabbly | 22:14 |
| evonise`emp | its the busybox | 22:15 |
| evonise`emp | so i should type that echo? | 22:15 |
| charlie-tca__ | yes | 22:15 |
| charlie-tca__ | including echo | 22:16 |
| evonise`emp | k | 22:16 |
| evonise`emp | should it say something afterwards? cus it doenst | 22:16 |
| whitesmith | Anyone have any ideas on how to get my NTFS partition showing up in thunar? | 22:17 |
| evonise`emp | charlie-tca__, just exit afterwards? | 22:17 |
| charlie-tca__ | nope, won't say anything | 22:18 |
| charlie-tca__ | exit | 22:18 |
| PsynoKhi0 | whitesmith: could you add the fstab file located under /etc? | 22:18 |

| charlie-tca__ | Okay. See if it will work this time | 22:18 |
| evonise`emp | ye hope so ;p | 22:18 |
| charlie-tca__ | Freeze should be in the same place every time if the cd drive is bad | 22:19 |

| PsynoKhi0 | whitesmith: one thing bothers me with that thread though | 22:21 |
| PsynoKhi0 | whitesmith: they say you should start mousepad with: sudo mousepad /etc/fstab | 22:22 |
| whitesmith | so, no sudo? | 22:22 |
| PsynoKhi0 | I've always been told that for graphical apps, one should use gksudo | 22:22 |
| PsynoKhi0 | sudo for command line stuff, gksudo for graphical stuff | 22:22 |
| whitesmith | oh... i don't know if it makes much of a difference | 22:22 |
| whitesmith | mind you, i'm the moron who uses abiword instead of mousepad | 22:23 |
| PsynoKhi0 | lol | 22:23 |
| whitesmith | i always thought xubuntu had ntfs support for a long while now? | 22:24 |
| whitesmith | so, is sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g really needed? | 22:24 |
| evonise`emp | charlie-tca__ :((((( | 22:25 |

| PsynoKhi0 | whitesmith: so fstab | 22:25 |
| evonise`emp | once while i was installing ubuntu (or: i was trying to) i left it for 30 mins | 22:26 |
| charlie-tca__ | Might be just working the cpu hard | 22:26 |
| evonise`emp | nothing worked | 22:26 |
| evonise`emp | k ill just wait then | 22:26 |
| evonise`emp | otherwise, what can be a problem? | 22:26 |
| PsynoKhi0 | whitesmith: but in your case, it should be /dev/sda1 | 22:26 |
| charlie-tca__ | bad cd disk or hardware issues | 22:26 |
| PsynoKhi0 | whitesmith: not /dev/sda2 | 22:26 |
| evonise`emp | cd? i checked it for errors | 22:26 |
| whitesmith | ok | 22:27 |
| evonise`emp | and windows xp went fine | 22:27 |
| charlie-tca__ | It can pass the error checks and still be bad | 22:27 |
| evonise`emp | hm | 22:27 |
| evonise`emp | im using a rewritable disk, is that a problem? | 22:27 |
| evonise`emp | btw, i also dont see the hdd disk led flashing or something | 22:28 |
| whitesmith | ok... should i try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=785263&highlight=sudo+fdisk first? | 22:28 |
| evonise`emp | and dont hear anything | 22:28 |
| charlie-tca__ | I don't know, I would try a different disc, cd-r if you have one | 22:28 |
| evonise`emp | (think of hdd rattling sound) | 22:28 |
| evonise`emp | ye k | 22:28 |
| charlie-tca__ | hdd led won't flash if the cpu is working, | 22:28 |
| evonise`emp | the fan is working though | 22:29 |
| evonise`emp | all the time | 22:29 |
| evonise`emp | but sometimes during other freezes, the fan didnt do anything | 22:29 |
| PsynoKhi0 | whitesmith: sounds good | 22:30 |
| evonise`emp | charlie-tca__, i think it defenitely freezed | 22:30 |
| charlie-tca__ | hmmm | 22:30 |
| whitesmith | thx a lot. i'll get back to you on it when i know | 22:31 |
| charlie-tca__ | PsynoKhi0: any ideas on the install freeze? been 4 minutes without activity | 22:31 |
| charlie-tca__ | evonise`emp: hit Alt+F4 | 22:31 |
| evonise`emp | the only thing that is active is the fan, its on all the time, while usually it stops | 22:32 |
| evonise`emp | ok, how can i see if that worked? | 22:32 |
| charlie-tca__ | Are you using the laptop keyboard? | 22:32 |
| evonise`emp | yes | 22:32 |
| charlie-tca__ | wait | 22:32 |
| charlie-tca__ | like 1 minute | 22:32 |
| evonise`emp | i have nothing inserted (usb stuff or input cards or something) | 22:32 |
| evonise`emp | so, alt+f4, and then wait 1 min? | 22:32 |
| charlie-tca__ | I guess try a cd-r | 22:32 |
| charlie-tca__ | yeah, alt+f4, wait 1 minute | 22:33 |
| evonise`emp | ye ill try that after, is it a problem if i burn ubuntu then? | 22:33 |
| evonise`emp | normal ubuntu? | 22:33 |
| charlie-tca__ | see if it switches | 22:33 |
| PsynoKhi0 | whitesmith: thank you too for the ntfs-config tip :D | 22:33 |
| charlie-tca__ | Don't matter what you burn | 22:33 |
| evonise`emp | k | 22:33 |
| evonise`emp | ye since this is the xubuntu channel :p | 22:33 |
| charlie-tca__ | If you install ubuntu, you can install xubuntu-desktop to get to xubuntu if you want | 22:33 |
| evonise`emp | ah ok | 22:33 |
| charlie-tca__ | install failure is an install failure, for me | 22:34 |
| charlie-tca__ | I run 8 a day, 6 days a week | 22:34 |
| whitesmith | lol it was the thread you referred me to that had a reference to another thread with that in it, so it's all you. ;) | 22:34 |
| evonise`emp | charlie-tca__, its not doing anything after alt+f4 | 22:35 |
| charlie-tca__ | Only other thing I got is try a different cd-r | 22:35 |
| evonise`emp | k ill try that | 22:35 |
| charlie-tca__ | I have a horrible time with cd-rw's, myself | 22:35 |
| PsynoKhi0 | whitesmith: though I wonder if you shouldn't create the mount point by hand at first | 22:36 |
| whitesmith | i think that's a better idea | 22:37 |
| whitesmith | in ubuntu, where'd the mount point usually be if it were autogenerated? | 22:37 |
| whitesmith | or xubuntu, i should say | 22:37 |
| PsynoKhi0 | hmm... under /media or /mnt | 22:37 |
| PsynoKhi0 | sudo mkdir /media/windows | 22:38 |
| PsynoKhi0 | would be safe IMO | 22:38 |
| whitesmith | i have my cdroms and floppies listed under media so, that'd prolly be best, eh? | 22:38 |
| whitesmith | kk | 22:38 |
| whitesmith | hmm... in that NTFS config tool, it's telling me to set a mount point | 22:40 |
| PsynoKhi0 | /media/windows | 22:40 |
| whitesmith | yeah i said that, and got an error | 22:40 |
| PsynoKhi0 | or? | 22:40 |
| PsynoKhi0 | erm | 22:40 |
| PsynoKhi0 | oh* | 22:40 |
| whitesmith | you must choose a name, not a directory. | 22:41 |
| PsynoKhi0 | o.O | 22:41 |
| whitesmith | "/media/windows contains an invalid caracter. you must choose a name, not a directory." | 22:41 |
| whitesmith | oops | 22:42 |
| whitesmith | lol | 22:42 |
| PsynoKhi0 | ? | 22:42 |
| evonise`emp | charlie-tca__, at what speed should i burn the cd? | 22:42 |
| Slonkie | lowest possible | 22:42 |
| whitesmith | it'll create the dir by itself apparently | 22:42 |
| PsynoKhi0 | ok | 22:42 |
| Slonkie | Then you should be pretty sure it's not messed up. | 22:42 |
| whitesmith | so, i shouldn't have sudo mkdir'd one | 22:42 |
| evonise`emp | charlie-tca__ and what program? im using cdburnerXP | 22:42 |
| evonise`emp | Slonkie, u talking to me :D? | 22:43 |
| Slonkie | Yes. | 22:43 |
| PsynoKhi0 | whitesmith: I wasn't sure it would create is so... anyway | 22:43 |
| whitesmith | i think all i need to do is sudo rm -rf windows in media | 22:43 |
| evonise`emp | Slonkie ok thanks! | 22:43 |
| Slonkie | use imgburn in windows, evonise`emp! | 22:43 |
| evonise`emp | Slonkie how does that work :S | 22:43 |
| whitesmith | lol we both assumed wrong there - linux on the desktop has come a far way from when i was a kid lol | 22:43 |
| evonise`emp | Slonkie i have XP | 22:43 |
| whitesmith | now everything seems to be done for you | 22:44 |
| Slonkie | download imgburn, install, burn. | 22:44 |
| PsynoKhi0 | evonise`emp: cdburnerxp should do, but Slonkie beat me to is, imgburn is usually better | 22:44 |
| Slonkie | very simple. | 22:44 |
| PsynoKhi0 | to it* | 22:44 |
| evonise`emp | oh ok, i know that one, i didnt know u meant it | 22:44 |
| evonise`emp | k ill do it | 22:44 |
| PsynoKhi0 | whitesmith: spoon fed, ubuntu style :P | 22:44 |
| whitesmith | lol | 22:44 |
| PsynoKhi0 | and now something completely unrelated: usually I hate standard GUI appearance settings in OSes... but darn I can't find a gtk theme I like more than MurrinaStormCloud | 22:46 |
| whitesmith | lol huh - that's kewl | 22:46 |
| Slonkie | Durt is nice. | 22:46 |
| whitesmith | I haven't got into looxing at themes, yet. | 22:46 |
| Slonkie | Dusty 2* | 22:47 |
| whitesmith | I just like my system to do what it's told, and don't care if it's pretty. :p | 22:47 |
| evonise`emp | Slonkie, so what speed should i do? 2x? | 22:47 |
| Slonkie | yea evonise`emp | 22:47 |
| evonise`emp | Slonkie i can also do 1x lol | 22:47 |
| Slonkie | won't take long anyway. | 22:47 |
| Slonkie | well 2-8x is what i prefer | 22:47 |
| whitesmith | Mind, apparently the Bladerunner theme for e17 is awesomeness. lol | 22:47 |
| evonise`emp | k ill do 2 | 22:47 |
| whitesmith | holy cow it worked lol | 22:48 |
| evonise`emp | Slonkie, wtf, it said access denied (or something like that): hint: wmp is running. close it and try again! | 22:48 |
| evonise`emp | Slonkie what the hell is that :P, i closed wmp and it worked, but wtf? | 22:48 |
| Slonkie | No idea. | 22:49 |
| Slonkie | wmp is shit anyway ;). | 22:49 |
| whitesmith | now, I just need to restart to see if it does automount | 22:49 |
| whitesmith | btw, ntfs config wont autorun or anything silly like that, right? it just makes a now line in fstab? | 22:50 |
| whitesmith | ^new | 22:50 |
| evonise`emp | Slonkie haha | 22:50 |
| evonise`emp | Slonkie, cant my cd/dvd drive not be dirty? (and might that not be the problem for the freezes?) | 22:51 |
| Slonkie | i don't understand? | 22:51 |
| Slonkie | not be dirty? | 22:51 |
| Slonkie | Sorry i haven't been here all the time, i diden't get to read your problem. | 22:52 |
| charlie-tca__ | evonise`emp: yes it could | 22:52 |
| charlie-tca__ | sorry, I am following the community council meeting | 22:52 |
| PsynoKhi0 | whitesmith: I actually don't know... but so far the program has been smarter than we thought so... :P | 22:53 |
| whitesmith | lol | 22:53 |
| whitesmith | kk restarting to see if it automounts - brb | 22:54 |
| PsynoKhi0 | wait | 22:54 |
| whitesmith | k | 22:54 |
| PsynoKhi0 | have you checked that there was a new linein your fstab? | 22:54 |
| whitesmith | no, actually i didn't - good idea | 22:55 |
| whitesmith | btw... why are there two of you? one with a 0 and one with an 8? :s | 22:55 |
| Slonkie | There's only one of him... eeeh | 23:01 |
| PsynoKhi0 | ?? | 23:02 |
| whitesmith | lol there's only one of him in here, but i'm getting private messages from another him lol | 23:02 |
| whitesmith | or... (more likely) i',m an idiot and my font is off | 23:03 |
| whitesmith | btw | 23:03 |
| whitesmith | "/dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_CA.UTF-8 0 0" | 23:03 |
| whitesmith | does that look right to you? :p | 23:03 |
| PsynoKhi0 | yes | 23:03 |
| whitesmith | kk sorry for being such a moron at all of this | 23:05 |
| whitesmith | i'll restart just to be sure, and let you know if it worked (which i'm sure it will at this point). | 23:06 |
| whitesmith | brb | 23:06 |
| evonise`emp | charlie-tca__, i burned the cd on a cd-r, 2x speed, im gonna try install now normally | 23:11 |
| charlie-tca__ | good luck | 23:12 |
| evonise`emp | heh ye :) | 23:12 |
| FitnessFirst | hi guys | 23:12 |
| crazygir | when you create a tun/tap interface associated with a nic, is that device then dedicated to this tun/tap device? | 23:12 |
| charlie-tca__ | I think it is, crazygir | 23:13 |
| charlie-tca__ | It should be using the tap? instead of eth? too | 23:13 |
| charlie-tca__ | or is it br? | 23:13 |
| charlie-tca__ | Okay, gotta go now. See you all later. | 23:15 |
| crazygir | dunno.. i'd like to keep the original interface running without interruption | 23:16 |
| evonise`emp | ah damn | 23:20 |
| evonise`emp | PsynoKhi0 | 23:20 |
| evonise`emp | char.. just left | 23:20 |
| evonise`emp | did u follow what we talked about? | 23:20 |
| PsynoKhi0 | erm not really | 23:21 |
| PsynoKhi0 | let me scroll | 23:21 |
| evonise`emp | lol | 23:21 |
| evonise`emp | PsynoKhi0, i tried a CD-r instead of the RW, | 23:22 |
| PsynoKhi0 | ok | 23:22 |
| Name141 | Hello, I have had an issue with my NIC working since Intrepid and doesn't even work in Jaunty. However, it worked fine in Hardy. Anyway, I have to remove the module e1000e, then modprobe it for the network connection to come back. Is it possible that I could find a way to install ubuntu on to my flash drive , TO MAKE changes with? Rather than just keeping it a LIVE session ? That way I can make a bug report. | 23:22 |
| Name141 | Would I be able to install it directly to it like it was a hard drive, but put the boot image (lilo/grub?) on to the hard drive? | 23:24 |
| PsynoKhi0 | Name141: what kind of flash drive? | 23:25 |
| evonise`emp | PsynoKhi0, so do u have any idea? it is stuck now on 22% | 23:26 |
| Name141 | PsynoKhi0: eh if it matters, a 8 GB Toshiba | 23:26 |
| evonise`emp | copying files | 23:26 |
| Name141 | (7.64 GB really) | 23:26 |
| evonise`emp | Slonkie, the CD-R also doesnt work (install freezes at 22%, copying files) | 23:27 |
| evonise`emp | any ideas? | 23:28 |
| Slonkie | no sorry :/ | 23:28 |
| evonise`emp | Slonkie k np.. | 23:28 |
| PsynoKhi0 | evonise`emp: did you try any other boot paramenter besides break=top? | 23:28 |
| evonise`emp | PsynoKhi0, not this time | 23:29 |
| evonise`emp | PsynoKhi0, shall i do that again? because with the RW it failed | 23:29 |
| evonise`emp | although that was xubuntu, it got stuck at 24% copying files | 23:30 |
| evonise`emp | now ubuntu, 22% freeze (but without break=top and that echo part) | 23:30 |
| PsynoKhi0 | well yeah, you should keep using beark=top... | 23:31 |
| PsynoKhi0 | break* | 23:31 |
| evonise`emp | k ill try it now | 23:31 |
| evonise`emp | and this: echo 'options libata dma=0' >> /etc/modprobe.d/options | 23:31 |
| evonise`emp | what does that do actually | 23:31 |
| PsynoKhi0 | Name141: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-xubuntu-904-persistent-install-windows/ <- something like that? note that it requires windows | 23:31 |

| === cranky is now known as FitnessFirst | ||
| PsynoKhi0 | evonise`emp: from the looks of it it tells the part of Ubuntu that controls your drives to stop using a setting your drives cannot use | 23:34 |
| evonise`emp | PsynoKhi0, k i did that echo, its loading the installer now, | 23:34 |
| evonise`emp | hm ok | 23:34 |
| onewart | xubuntu, fuck yeah! | 23:34 |
| PsynoKhi0 | if that sounded confusing it's ok, I'm not sure I know how to explain it in proper terms | 23:34 |
| whitesmith | lol @ onewart - Agreed. | 23:34 |
| evonise`emp | PsynoKhi0, if this doesnt work, any ideas what can be the problem? | 23:34 |
| evonise`emp | PsynoKhi0, haha no problem mate! | 23:35 |
| PsynoKhi0 | evonise`emp: if it doesn't work I don't know, really... either try to dig more info on the net, try another distro, get a new comp, give up... the possibilities are endless :P | 23:38 |
| evonise`emp | PsynoKhi0 lol | 23:39 |
| evonise`emp | it freezed again | 23:40 |
| evonise`emp | on 23% this time | 23:40 |
| evonise`emp | damn this! :D | 23:40 |
| PsynoKhi0 | alt f4? | 23:40 |
| evonise`emp | and then? | 23:40 |
| PsynoKhi0 | shows anything? | 23:40 |
| evonise`emp | i did that last time | 23:40 |
| evonise`emp | oh let met ry | 23:40 |
| evonise`emp | nope | 23:40 |
| evonise`emp | just like last time | 23:40 |
| evonise`emp | some other guy that helped me before said look in the installer logs | 23:41 |
| PsynoKhi0 | 23% of copying stuff? | 23:41 |
| evonise`emp | dmesg | 23:41 |
| evonise`emp | or something | 23:41 |
| evonise`emp | yes, exactly | 23:41 |
| evonise`emp | its been 24%, 22%, 23$ | 23:41 |
| evonise`emp | all of those | 23:41 |
| PsynoKhi0 | I mean, the harddrive had been partitioned? | 23:42 |
| evonise`emp | ehm | 23:42 |
| evonise`emp | yes before that | 23:42 |
| evonise`emp | it did that | 23:42 |
| evonise`emp | although sometimes it crashed during that | 23:43 |
| PsynoKhi0 | well | 23:43 |
| evonise`emp | and once it crashed during keyboard layout | 23:43 |
| evonise`emp | setting stuff | 23:43 |
| PsynoKhi0 | ok one last try, then I'm out of ideas | 23:43 |
| evonise`emp | lol | 23:43 |
| evonise`emp | :D | 23:43 |
| PsynoKhi0 | you're gonna do the same as before: select install, press F6 | 23:44 |
| evonise`emp | but i dont understand, i thought i hadthis bug | 23:44 |
| evonise`emp | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/253321 | 23:44 |
| PsynoKhi0 | wait | 23:44 |
| evonise`emp | ok | 23:44 |
| evonise`emp | ok yes sorry ;p | 23:44 |
| PsynoKhi0 | after pressing F6, select noapic nolapic, then press escape | 23:44 |
| PsynoKhi0 | and enter the following: | 23:45 |
| evonise`emp | so: noapic and nolapic? | 23:45 |
| PsynoKhi0 | yes | 23:45 |
| PsynoKhi0 | hang on, lost the paper I had written something on | 23:46 |
| evonise`emp | oh lol :o | 23:46 |
| PsynoKhi0 | ah there it is... after pressing esc to close the little menu, type: | 23:46 |
| PsynoKhi0 | xforcevesa all_generic_ide break=top | 23:47 |
| evonise`emp | ok | 23:47 |
| evonise`emp | after -- | 23:47 |
| evonise`emp | a space after that? or doesnt that matter | 23:47 |
| PsynoKhi0 | no space, it's alrady there | 23:49 |
| evonise`emp | ye i c | 23:49 |
| evonise`emp | ok ill hit enter ;p | 23:49 |
| PsynoKhi0 | not that it would break anything with extra space afaik but think of your keys' life span!! :P | 23:50 |
| evonise`emp | lol | 23:50 |
| PsynoKhi0 | Name141: getting your usb drive up? | 23:50 |
| evonise`emp | so what now? since the break=top | 23:50 |
| evonise`emp | im in the busybox | 23:50 |
| evonise`emp | PsynoKhi0 ? | 23:52 |
| PsynoKhi0 | ye? | 23:53 |
| evonise`emp | ehm, what now, im in the busybox | 23:53 |
| PsynoKhi0 | still the echo thingie | 23:53 |
| evonise`emp | oh ok | 23:53 |
| evonise`emp | its loading the installer now | 23:55 |
| evonise`emp | PsynoKhi0, but what i dont understand, im having the exact bug as described on that site, why isnt it working | 23:55 |
| PsynoKhi0 | no idea =/ | 23:56 |
| evonise`emp | they also say: Still occurs for 8.10 Alpha5. Occurs when booting with "all_generic_ide" option, as well. | 23:57 |
| evonise`emp | PsynoKhi0, Same issue on Acer Aspire 1310 ... (my laptop :P) | 23:57 |
| PsynoKhi0 | evonise`emp: I know, notice that the message appears before the break=top suggestion | 23:58 |
| evonise`emp | true | 23:58 |
| PsynoKhi0 | so all_generic_ide on its own didn't help | 23:58 |
| evonise`emp | PsynoKhi0 k, what about the via chip they are talking about | 23:59 |
