| michael__ | Hi, i need some help setting up a static IP address, i've tried everything come to mind though it still won't work | 04:18 |
| th0r | michael__: using network-manager? | 04:19 |
| michael__ | yeah, or anything else. I've tried editing countless files but it seems to stuff it up further | 04:20 |
| th0r | michael__: if you are using network manager you will probably not succeed. I haven't tried it myself, but have read that nm just doesn't like static ip. What I read said to disable nm and then the /etc/network/interfaces file will work | 04:21 |
| michael__ | i gotta admit that i'm on MythBuntu but it uses xfce4 and is on Ubuntu, it's just stripped back a bit\ | 04:21 |
| th0r | michael__: if nm is running then the interfaces file is ignored...editing it won't help | 04:22 |
| michael__ | ok... so how could i dsable Network manager? | 04:22 |
| th0r | michael__: I think you can disable it in Sessions and Startup on the autostart tab | 04:22 |
| michael__ | this is great advice, i've been pulling my hair out for 3 days wondering what the hell is wrong with it. I set up ArchLinux static IP easier than this | 04:22 |
| th0r | michael__: yeah.....as far as I am concerned gnome and its associated apps are more trouble than they are worth | 04:23 |
| xylox | i have used static ip's with network manager, just disable dhcp | 04:23 |
| th0r | xylox: I will bow to experience...like I said I haven't tried it yet but have read some on the web about issues | 04:24 |
| michael__ | ok well i've toasted NM | 04:24 |
| th0r | michael__: then the interfaces file should work..as well as ifup and ifdown | 04:24 |
| michael__ | ...so should i get it back now or go for the manual editor? (i really don't mind doing it manually) | 04:25 |
| th0r | michael__: might try both to see which works better <smile> | 04:25 |
| michael__ | ok | 04:25 |
| michael__ | i'll fix interfaces first | 04:25 |
| michael__ | can you just check this? (should i use pastebin?) | 04:27 |
| michael__ | can i give you the output of ifconfig? | 04:27 |
| th0r | michael__: yeah...pastebinit | 04:27 |
| michael__ | http://pastebin.com/m65cf6d3a | 04:28 |
| th0r | looks good so far...let me check something. | 04:30 |
| michael__ | seems ok yeah? | 04:30 |

| plaircpa | anyone know how to fix a banshee error trying to play last.fm music? I get "Gstreamer resource error: Not found" when run on a terminal. | 04:31 |
| th0r | BB82: I am not sure about that 'network' entry...but other than that it looks good. But in checking I again found several sites where people complained about the same problem you are having....and didn't see a consistent solution | 04:34 |
| BB82 | th0r, this is crazy I really need a static IP so my MythTV backend can talk to my frontend properly | 04:35 |
| BB82 | th0r, it seems like such a simple task, and in past versions it was. Thanks for your help, if you find anything i'll hang tight | 04:36 |
| th0r | BB82: this site talks about also editing rc.conf....http://www.itech7.com/Linux/ubuntu-904jaunty-jackalope-internet-configuration-for-static-ip | 04:36 |
| th0r | BB82: wish I had my home network up and running so I could try this stuff out....interesting problem | 04:39 |
| xylox | in 8.04 dosn't exist this problem | 04:41 |
| th0r | xylox: yeah...they put it into jaunty for its entertainment value <smile> | 04:42 |
| BB82 | xylox, yeah i've noticed. I don't know why 9 has this issue | 04:42 |
| th0r | xylox: the more I use jaunty the more I wish I had installed Hardy instead | 04:42 |
| th0r | xylox: had both cd's.....bad decision on my part | 04:43 |
| BB82 | would it be the same for Xubuntu and Ubuntu? | 04:45 |
| th0r | BB82: unfortunately yes | 04:45 |
| BB82 | xylox, if that site doesnm | 04:45 |
| BB82 | xylox, if that site doesnt work i might try ubuntu forums | 04:45 |
| th0r | BB82: going to call it a night....good luck with the IP | 04:47 |
| BB82 | many thanks | 04:49 |
| BB82 | Hi I'm having issused getting a static IP in Jaunty | 06:27 |
| Techie | is there a way i can change it so when i push the power button it starts shutting down instead of opening a shutdown/reboot/logoff prompt? | 08:39 |
| SiDi | Techie, yes | 08:40 |
| SiDi | Techie, open gnome-power-preferences | 08:40 |
| SiDi | Go to the third tab | 08:41 |
| SiDi | And in the first line, you can change the behaviour of the shutdown button | 08:41 |
| SiDi | From "Ask me" to "Shutdown" | 08:41 |
| Techie | thanks | 08:42 |

| metatagg | hello gyus! my X is acting wierd! it refuses to set 1024x768 as my default resolution, and it hangs from time to time so I gotta restart and go recovery mode > xfix... any suggestions? | 16:32 |
| SiDi | metatagg, you likely have GPU drivers problems | 17:00 |
| metatagg | SiDi: yes, I think so too after a bit of googling.. :( | 17:00 |
| SiDi | What graphic card do you have ? If it's an ATi or Nvidia, try the drivers listed in Apps -> System -> Hardware drivers | 17:01 |
| metatagg | SiDi: i've got an intel integrated one.. :( | 17:01 |
| SiDi | And Xubuntu 9.04 ? | 17:02 |
| metatagg | yes | 17:02 |
| SiDi | Most of Intel drivers have problems with this version of X.org that is in Xubuntu 9.04 | 17:02 |
| metatagg | so I have noticed.. :( | 17:02 |
| SiDi | According to rumours it'll be better in Karmic | 17:02 |
| metatagg | i'd be better off installing 8.04.. right? | 17:03 |
| SiDi | By the meanwhile i think the best for you is to stay on Intrepid and to use some PPAs for getting recent apps | 17:03 |
| metatagg | ah | 17:03 |
| metatagg | good point. :( | 17:03 |
| SiDi | https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ppa this PPA for firefox | 17:04 |
| metatagg | or dig out an old ati RAGE card.. :) | 17:04 |
| SiDi | This one for XFCE | 17:04 |
| SiDi | aha, ati rage :D | 17:04 |
| metatagg | ty SiDi :) | 17:04 |

| SiDi | oh great | 18:36 |
| SiDi | some intel drivers PPA ? :O | 18:36 |
| SiDi | (there was a blog post on the planet recommanding against testing them ^.^) | 18:36 |
| SiDi | metatagg, can you give me this PPA please ? | 18:37 |
| SiDi | and your exact Intel chipset please too | 18:37 |

| hhh2 | how can update from xubuntu hardy to intrepid and then to jaunty? | 18:52 |
| hhh2 | in safe mode | 18:52 |
| SiDi | hhh2, you can upgrade from hardy to intrepid and then from intrepid to jaunty, yes | 18:52 |
| hhh2 | how? | 18:53 |
| SiDi | Open the update-manager | 18:53 |
| SiDi | go to Properties, then go to | 18:53 |
| SiDi | Third tab : 'Updates' | 18:54 |
| SiDi | And at the bottom, set 'Display new versions' to 'Normal versions' | 18:54 |
| SiDi | and then the update manager will propose you to upgrade | 18:54 |
| hhh2 | to 9.04 | 18:55 |
| hhh2 | I think I will keep it at least till the next LTS arrives | 18:59 |

| === techknowlust is now known as techknowlust|awa | ||
| SiDi | yesitisjustme, your graphic card drivers are not installed, or they dont manage OpenGL | 20:21 |

| SiDi | Apps -> System -> sorry | 20:22 |
| yesitisjustme | it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system | 20:24 |
| SiDi | then either your card is too old / weak to have the opengl functions needed for Google Earth, or you lack drivers | 20:29 |

| armada | hi all | 23:35 |
| armada | is it possible to connect xubuntu to a windows network | 23:35 |
| armada | acessing windows pc and so? | 23:36 |
| th0r | armada: yes, there is an app for that...gigolo....available out of the repos | 23:36 |
| armada | but does it reaallyu work? | 23:37 |
| armada | I tried and it seems really really hard :( | 23:37 |
| th0r | armada: really hard? I just installed it...no config necessary. As to if it works I don't know. I am on a marina wifi and don't know if there are any computers out there to access | 23:38 |
| armada | no no | 23:38 |
| armada | not that | 23:38 |
| armada | what I want is to connect to shared folderes | 23:38 |
| armada | I can acess internet easily | 23:39 |
| armada | but i need to acess office database, in a win pc | 23:39 |
| th0r | armada: yeah....shared folders are on other computers on the network....and that is what gigolo is supposed to do | 23:39 |
| armada | i could do it? | 23:39 |
| armada | justa like that? | 23:39 |
| th0r | I don't think it should be necessary to plead my case. Try it or don't...up to you | 23:40 |
| armada | i tried didn't work | 23:40 |
| armada | but i'm kind of a noob | 23:41 |
| armada | with gnome was pretty easy.. | 23:41 |
| armada | th0r i didn't meant to be rude... sorry if it look like that :$ | 23:42 |
| th0r | no problem. I haven't had much need for it, so can't guarantee it works....but it looks like it does, and it is suppose to do what you want....access windows shares | 23:44 |
| xylox | seems that gigolo isn't available for 8.04 | 23:46 |
| th0r | xylox: you could always download the source from the xfce page and compile it. And to be honest, I wish I had 8.04 and that problem | 23:47 |
| xylox | th0r, yeah, i went the hard way to access my shares, but once it's done, it works great using thunar | 23:48 |
| armada | xylox but for a noob like me... | 23:48 |
| th0r | xylox: I used fusesmb with thunar for years, but I couldn't get that to work in jaunty. Just one of many things I can't get right in jaunty | 23:49 |
| armada | i guess i was expecting it out-of-the-box like in standard ubuntu | 23:49 |
| xylox | hopefully xfce will someday offer that function like gnome does | 23:50 |
| armada | yep | 23:50 |
| armada | for noobs like me it would be great | 23:50 |
| th0r | xylox: have you used fusesmb? I really like it a lot more than the gnome setup | 23:50 |
| armada | i even followed a tutorial to congigure thunsar w/ fuse | 23:51 |
| armada | but no result :( | 23:51 |
| th0r | xylox: I have a folder ~/Network...and all the computers in the network just show up there...just a part of the directory tree...really transparent | 23:51 |
| th0r | armada: are you using jaunty? (9.04) | 23:51 |
| armada | was... | 23:51 |
| armada | just format my pc trying to install ubuntu | 23:52 |
| th0r | armada: well, then don't feel bad. I couldn't get fuse to work with thunar either...think there is a problem in jaunty (more than one actually) | 23:52 |
| armada | but if i knew for sure I could have network i would go back | 23:52 |
| xylox | th0r, yeah, i got the same, but was a little tricky to accomplish | 23:52 |
| armada | hum | 23:52 |
| armada | so in what version o xubuntu does it work better? | 23:53 |
| th0r | xylox: there were some 'undocumented steps' that I had to work to figure out...but it was worth it | 23:53 |
| th0r | armada: my opinion....hardy...8.04. I am thinking about reformatting and installling hardy...or might try suse | 23:53 |
| armada | do you think i can do share with hardy? | 23:54 |
| armada | and will it work on a 256ram pc? | 23:54 |
| th0r | armada: well, xylox says he has it working...get his address and phone number <smile> | 23:54 |
| xylox | armada, here's the link if you feel brave to try it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=304131 | 23:54 |
| xylox | but that is with 8.04 | 23:55 |
| armada | I've been there | 23:55 |
| armada | failed | 23:55 |
| xylox | don't know about newer versions | 23:55 |
| armada | :$ | 23:55 |
| armada | <-- hard noob | 23:55 |
| armada | but can i download older versions? | 23:55 |
| xylox | sure you can | 23:56 |
| armada | hum | 23:56 |
| armada | so what version do u recomend? | 23:57 |
| th0r | xylox: wish you hadn't done that...now I have to go and try fuse all over again <smile> | 23:57 |
| xylox | th0r, no man, don't bother what is working | 23:57 |
| armada | yeahhh | 23:58 |
| xylox | don't fix what is not broken | 23:58 |
| th0r | xylox: it isn't working...that's what I mean. I wasn't able to get fusesmb working in jaunty...but this is another howto that I hadn't seen before | 23:59 |
| xylox | i experienced that this week at work with a win 2000 server, after installing patches at windows update i got a bsod next day :S | 23:59 |
| th0r | jeez....see....just found it (I think)....the group for the mount point is wrong | 23:59 |
