[04:18] <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
[04:19] <th0r> michael__: using network-manager?
[04:20] <michael__> yeah, or anything else. I've tried editing countless files but it seems to stuff it up further
[04:21] <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\
[04:22] <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
[04:23] <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
[04:24] <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
[04:25] <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
[04:27] <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
[04:28] <michael__> http://pastebin.com/m65cf6d3a
[04:30] <th0r> looks good so far...let me check something.
[04:30] <michael__> seems ok yeah?
[04:31] <michael__> i'm gunna change names
[04:31] <michael__> NICK/ BB*@
[04:31] <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.
[04:34] <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
[04:35] <BB82> th0r, this is crazy I really need a static IP so my MythTV backend can talk to my frontend properly
[04:36] <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
[04:39] <th0r> BB82: wish I had my home network up and running so I could try this stuff out....interesting problem
[04:41] <xylox> in 8.04 dosn't exist this problem
[04:42] <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
[04:43] <th0r> xylox: had both cd's.....bad decision on my part
[04:45] <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
[04:47] <th0r> BB82: going to call it a night....good luck with the IP
[04:49] <BB82> many thanks
[06:27] <BB82> Hi I'm having issused getting a static IP in Jaunty
[08:39] <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?
[08:40] <SiDi> Techie, yes
[08:40] <SiDi> Techie, open gnome-power-preferences
[08:41] <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"
[08:42] <Techie> thanks
[14:54] <om26er> any1 tell me is there a way to make xubuntu like netbook remix without downloading the whole NBR
[15:06] <igsen> Anyone know where I can get the wallpaper shown here http://www.xubuntu.org/ ?
[15:27] <SiDi> igsen, http://packages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu-artwork
[16:14] <BB82> I'm having a hell of a lot of trouble getting a static IP address in Jaunty, what the hell is wrong with the GUI?
[16:14] <th0r> BB82: still working on that?
[16:23] <BB82> yeah, sorry you're in #Ubuntu too
[16:32] <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?
[17:00] <SiDi> metatagg, you likely have GPU drivers problems
[17:00] <metatagg> SiDi: yes, I think so too after a bit of googling.. :(
[17:01] <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.. :(
[17:02] <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
[17:03] <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. :(
[17:04] <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> https://launchpad.net/~jerome-guelfucci/+archive/ppa
[17:04] <SiDi> Any app for which you need a recent version ?
[17:05] <metatagg> nah, I'll be fine:)
[17:05] <SiDi> https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa openoffice :p
[17:05] <metatagg> haha :D
[17:05] <metatagg> it's a bit heavy i think ;)
[18:35] <metatagg> SiDi: I found a workaround! I added a PPA, upgraded, and voila! It works! :)
[18:36] <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 ^.^)
[18:37] <SiDi> metatagg, can you give me this PPA please ?
[18:37] <SiDi> and your exact Intel chipset please too
[18:39] <metatagg> i'm not sure;) about the divers.. hang on a sec :)
[18:39] <metatagg> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance
[18:39] <metatagg> there it is.. :O
[18:40] <metatagg> http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
[18:40] <SiDi> thanks
[18:40] <metatagg> says: "Use preview of 2.8 driver" as header ;(
[18:40] <metatagg> :)
[18:40] <metatagg> np
[18:40] <metatagg> my chipset....
[18:41] <metatagg> that's lspci | grep VGA
[18:41] <metatagg> right?
[18:41] <SiDi> yes
[18:42] <metatagg> ah
[18:42] <metatagg> in that case...
[18:42] <metatagg> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)
[18:47] <SiDi> Thanks
[18:52] <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
[18:53] <hhh2> how?
[18:53] <SiDi> Open the update-manager
[18:53] <SiDi> go to Properties, then go to
[18:54] <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
[18:55] <hhh2> to 9.04
[18:59] <hhh2> I think I will keep it at least till the next LTS arrives
[20:07] <yesitisjustme> when i try to run googleearth the screen turns black anyone know what is wrong?
[20:21] <SiDi> yesitisjustme, your graphic card drivers are not installed, or they dont manage OpenGL
[20:22] <SiDi> Check if you have any recommanded driver not activated in Apps -> Params -> Hardware drivers
[20:22] <SiDi> Apps -> System -> sorry
[20:24] <yesitisjustme> it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system
[20:29] <SiDi> then either your card is too old / weak to have the opengl functions needed for Google Earth, or you lack drivers
[20:30] <SiDi> type glxinfo | grep render
[20:30] <SiDi> In a console
[20:33] <yesitisjustme> direct rendering: Yes
[20:33] <yesitisjustme> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R200 20060602 AGP 4x x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE TCL
[20:34] <yesitisjustme> my video card is ati radeon 9200se 128mb
[20:37] <lukinfore> hi

[20:37] <lukinfore> ?
[20:37] <lukinfore> and is it configurable?
[22:11] <Frostwarri0r> hello
[22:12] <Frostwarri0r> Hey, i need help with the compatibility of xubuntu
[22:12] <Frostwarri0r> anyonw knows how xubuntu works on a tulip eth card?
[22:33] <nikolam> Frostwarri0r, same as other Ubuntu distros
[23:35] <armada> hi all
[23:35] <armada> is it possible to connect xubuntu to a windows network
[23:36] <armada> acessing windows pc and so?
[23:36] <th0r> armada: yes, there is an app for that...gigolo....available out of the repos
[23:37] <armada> but does it reaallyu work?
[23:37] <armada> I tried and it seems really really hard :(
[23:38] <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
[23:39] <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?
[23:40] <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
[23:41] <armada> but i'm kind of a noob
[23:41] <armada> with gnome was pretty easy..
[23:42] <armada> th0r i didn't meant to be rude... sorry if it look like that :$
[23:44] <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
[23:46] <xylox> seems that gigolo isn't available for 8.04
[23:47] <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
[23:48] <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...
[23:49] <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
[23:50] <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
[23:51] <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...
[23:52] <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
[23:53] <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
[23:54] <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
[23:55] <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?
[23:56] <xylox> sure you can
[23:56] <armada> hum
[23:57] <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
[23:58] <armada> yeahhh
[23:58] <xylox> don't fix what is not broken
[23:59] <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
