| jimisrvrox | SiDi: you around? | 00:24 |
|---|---|---|
| SiDi | jimisrvrox: yes | 00:27 |
| jimisrvrox | cool | 00:27 |
| jimisrvrox | did I tell you when I did down/up on the iwconfig that my system froze? | 00:27 |
| SiDi | Ah | 00:27 |
| SiDi | This sounds like a wifi driver issue | 00:28 |
| SiDi | aptitude search rt25 please | 00:28 |
| jimisrvrox | hrm well heres the other thing turned on the pc the other day and it told me it had a CMOS checksum error but I dont think it has anything to do with it | 00:29 |
| SiDi | And tell me which has a 'i' in fron of the name | 00:29 |
| * SiDi doesnt know what CMOS is :| | 00:29 | |
| jimisrvrox | ive got tons of driver files but havent a clue as to whats what heh | 00:29 |
| SiDi | [01:28] <SiDi> aptitude search rt25 please ;) | 00:30 |
| SiDi | Type this : aptitude search rt25 | 00:30 |
| SiDi | in a console * And tell me if one of the two entries has a 'i' in front of the name | 00:30 |
| jimisrvrox | shows nothing on this box | 00:31 |
| jimisrvrox | but if you asking me to do it on my other box that has no net? | 00:31 |
| th0r | SiDi: cmos is where the bootup bios is installed....could indicate a hardware problem in the computer | 00:32 |
| th0r | SiDi: cmos is the technology of the eeprom for the bios | 00:33 |
| SiDi | okies | 00:33 |
| SiDi | jimisrvrox: on the box that has the internet problem yes | 00:33 |
| jimisrvrox | yup | 00:33 |
| jimisrvrox | cpu is running at 53C and the CMOS error only came up once but when I just rebooted it did not come up | 00:36 |
| th0r | jimisrvrox: the cmos error might have been just a glitch...or it could have been an early warning. Just keep an eye out for repetitions in the future | 00:39 |
| jimisrvrox | 10-4 | 00:40 |
| jimisrvrox | th0r: are you good with wireless stuff? | 00:40 |
| jimisrvrox | last I remember that I had this problem is it ended up being a rather easy fix..problem is I did not document any of it so im here again.. | 00:41 |
| jimisrvrox | this time im doc'ing it | 00:41 |
| th0r | jimisrvrox: not really | 00:42 |
| jimisrvrox | damn | 00:43 |
| jimisrvrox | alright then th0r gots me another ? bsides my net connection..one is I have my usb formatted as fat32 to work with windows so not suprisingliy when I try to copy something from my linux box onto my usb drive it tells me that its a read=only file system...how can I format my drive to where I can use it in both win and linux so that I can put some files from my *nix box on there right now. I... | 00:55 |
| jimisrvrox | ...have access to a windows box if it makes it any easier... | 00:55 |
| th0r | jimisrvrox: the fat32 should be fine. How big is the drive? | 00:57 |
| jimisrvrox | big enough to cover what I need.. | 00:59 |
| jimisrvrox | but it tells me that its readonly so I cant for whatever reason copy the stuff over.. | 01:00 |
| th0r | I use such usb drives all the time without problems. You might have to add them to fstab if you aren't running the gnome file system with xfce...try adding a line to fstab just to see if it works | 01:00 |
| jimisrvrox | i run gnome | 01:01 |
| jimisrvrox | but its beyond me as to why I cant seem to copy the stuff.. | 01:01 |
| th0r | jimisrvrox: then the mount should be automatic....but I have heard of that problem before...give me a sec | 01:01 |
| jimisrvrox | it mounts and everything just fine | 01:03 |
| jimisrvrox | I cna even cut/paste into a hdd from the usb but I cannot go from my linux fs to the usb | 01:03 |
| th0r | jimisrvrox: do a mount command and see what options the usb drive is mounted with | 01:05 |
| jimisrvrox | ok brb | 01:05 |
| jimisrvrox | ok all I did was type in mount | 01:11 |
| jimisrvrox | and I got something like rw, nosuid, blah blah blah is that what youre asking about? | 01:11 |
| th0r | yeah....the rw means the drive is mounted read/write | 01:11 |
| jimisrvrox | ok so you need to know what the other parameters are? | 01:12 |
| th0r | if it was mounted read only it would be ro | 01:12 |
| jimisrvrox | oh ok | 01:12 |
| jimisrvrox | thats what I was thinking myself | 01:12 |
| th0r | not really....just wanted to check that | 01:12 |
| jimisrvrox | but when I go to properties it tells me that its a vfat | 01:12 |
| th0r | jimisrvrox: might also be mounted with the wrong permissions....does it say 'users' | 01:12 |
| th0r | jimisrvrox: yeah..vfat is fat32 | 01:13 |
| jimisrvrox | said something about permissions could not be determined | 01:13 |
| th0r | pastebin the mount command output | 01:13 |
| jimisrvrox | when I clicked on the permissions tab in the properties | 01:13 |
| jimisrvrox | I cant.. | 01:16 |
| jimisrvrox | I have no net connection on that box | 01:16 |
| jimisrvrox | Id have to write the shit down | 01:16 |
| th0r | jimisrvrox: ok....checking google I found a web page that says they fixed the problem by reformatting the usb drive.... | 01:17 |
| th0r | jeez! just found out I can't copy and paste a url from opera! | 01:17 |
| jimisrvrox | ok thats fine by me..already cut/pasted whatever the hell I wanted.. | 01:18 |
| jimisrvrox | but how would you format the drive in linux? | 01:18 |
| jimisrvrox | bc i am no cli expert..but I am learning some in a linux class right now using suse sles9 server and it sucks bc I do not learn anything about the desktop type stuff and inztead of helping us the stupid ass teacher tells us to go to google.. | 01:19 |
| === Odin is now known as th0r | ||
| th0r | jeez...darn marina wifi | 01:22 |
| th0r | jimisrvrox: you still there? | 01:23 |
| jimisrvrox | yeah | 01:23 |
| th0r | the url I had indicated that reformatting the usb drive in windows might solve the read only issue...might be worth a try. | 01:24 |
| th0r | I have seen the problem before...had it myself...but don't remember what i did to fix it | 01:24 |
| jimisrvrox | heh sounds like me with the damn wireless | 01:28 |
| jimisrvrox | thing of it is when you format it in windows you have to format it as a windows FS | 01:28 |
| th0r | jimisrvrox: that is oki....use fat32...it will work fine in linux as vfat. | 01:34 |
| th0r | jimisrvrox: in fact, I would prefer fat32...so whatever you put on the drive is readable by ANY computer (except mac of course) | 01:34 |
| th0r | jimisrvrox: I run only linux on my computer, but would still format a usb drive as vfat | 01:36 |
| th0r | jimisrvrox: need to call it a night here. Hope the reformat works for you...good luck with the wireless | 01:50 |

| tavelram_ | Im about to install xubuntu 9.04, but id like to netboot via grub instead of burning the iso. Where can I get the netboot installer without having to download the iso and extract them manually? | 04:54 |
| tavelram_ | Could/should i use the ubuntu netboot instead? | 04:54 |
| forces | netboot? | 04:56 |
| forces | you mean netinst? | 04:56 |
| tavelram_ | probably, not familiar with (x)ubuntu. | 04:56 |
| tavelram_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/installation-guide/i386/ch05s01.html#boot-initrd | 04:56 |
| forces | but the netinst is an ISO too | 04:56 |
| forces | and you need to burn it | 04:56 |
| tavelram_ | ok, then no :) | 04:56 |
| forces | use unetbooting | 04:57 |
| forces | you need an ISO image, the use an USB to boot from it | 04:57 |
| forces | then install ubuntu | 04:57 |
| tavelram_ | that would be even mor overkill | 04:57 |
| tavelram_ | forces, how similiar are ubuntu and xubuntu? | 04:59 |
| forces | the DE makes the difference | 04:59 |
| forces | ubuntu uses gnome and xubuntu xfce | 04:59 |
| tavelram_ | yeah, but do they share the same boot process etc? | 05:00 |
| forces | yes | 05:00 |
| forces | the install process is the same in both | 05:00 |
| forces | in all | 05:00 |
| tavelram_ | forces, ok, so I can use this guide for the entire process? https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/installation-guide/i386/ch05s01.html#boot-initrd | 05:00 |
| forces | (x)(k)(edu)ubuntu(studio) | 05:00 |
| forces | yes | 05:01 |
| tavelram_ | ok, so is there anywhere I can browse the 9.04 online? | 05:01 |
| tavelram_ | all i want is the files netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/initrd.gz and netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/linux, without having to download the whole iso. | 05:02 |
| forces | the netinst ISO has like 8MB | 05:05 |
| tavelram_ | oh, ok. | 05:05 |
| tavelram_ | nevermind, found the files i was looking for. | 05:08 |
| tavelram_ | i might have followed an unneccesarry symlink or something, but this is a kickass path :p /pub/os/Linux/distributions/ubuntu/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/386/ubuntu-installer/i386 | 05:09 |
| gobux | I'm having problems using the nvidia-xlg-71 package with xubuntu 9.04. Does anyone know if this still works? | 05:18 |
| gobux | sorry, that's nvidia-glx-71 | 05:21 |
| psycho_oreos | sounds like a driver for older chipsets | 05:25 |
| matir | /away just when u think u r alone, take a look around | 06:04 |
| matir | sorry floks | 06:05 |
| n2diy | matir: how could you ever think you were alone? | 06:08 |
| matir | i dont . people do | 06:31 |
| hosoka | hello everyone | 09:31 |
| psycho_oreos | ih | 09:31 |
| hosoka | If I minimize my Firefox where does this go actually ? I cannot find this nowhere. | 09:31 |
| hosoka | In Ubuntu it was easy to find but in Xubunt bit different. | 09:31 |
| pteague | should still be able to alt+tab to it | 09:32 |
| hosoka | ok, tried it out and it works. Great. | 09:33 |
| hosoka | bye | 09:33 |
| pteague | although if it's not showing up on the panel & it's not in alt+tab it may have crashed... in which case you can open a terminal & `ps aux | grep firefox` to see if it's even running | 09:33 |
| hosoka | found it with alt+tab | 09:34 |
| hosoka | I now do see it on the panel. But slightly behind a active program currently running. | 09:35 |
| hosoka | thanks for the tip. | 09:35 |
| mikubuntu | whats the significance of this msg? : W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/l/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-24-generic_2.6.24.18-24.1_i386.deb | 12:33 |
| mikubuntu | Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.45 80] | 12:33 |
| vinnl | mikubuntu, that means that the server you get your packages from is (temporarily, I presume) down | 12:34 |
| vinnl | You could try selecting a different mirror though Applications->System->Software Sources | 12:34 |
| mikubuntu | (after a reboot on my friends machine) hes freaking out | 12:35 |
| vinnl | Oh wait, it's not down for m | 12:35 |
| vinnl | *me | 12:35 |
| vinnl | Does he still have an internet connection? | 12:35 |
| mikubuntu | he just sent me the email with the error message | 12:35 |
| mikubuntu | i think thats his only comp | 12:35 |
| mikubuntu | lemme call him | 12:36 |
| hexbase | Hi | 16:27 |
| vinnl | !hi | 16:28 |
| hexbase | When i want to reboot, xfce says i dont have permission for hal.powermanagement or something like that | 16:28 |
| nikolam | hex ctrl alt backspace , then ctrl alt delete | 16:33 |
| hexbase | when i do that? | 16:33 |
| vinnl | nikolam, wouldn't it better to find the cause of the problem? | 16:34 |
| nikolam | vinnl, it happens sometimes to me to. My cause is xfapplet staying in memory i think | 16:35 |
| vinnl | hexbase, do you happen to know if you use xfapplet? | 16:35 |
| nikolam | when xfapplet is killed, user can log in ok | 16:35 |
| hexbase | vinnl, i dont know | 16:36 |
| vinnl | Then you probably don't :) | 16:36 |
| hexbase | vinnl, no i dont have it | 16:38 |
| nikolam | hexbase, you can go to console with ctrl alt F2 | 16:39 |
| nikolam | and see what processes are active Before login to xfce and after problem with unable to restart from xfce | 16:39 |
| nikolam | type ps -A | grep xf before log to xfce | 16:40 |
| nikolam | so system refuse to restart -> ctrl alt backspace -> ctrl alt F2 ->log in -> ps -A | grep xf | 16:41 |
| nikolam | see if you can see xf* something | 16:41 |
| ianMac | hello, I have a ibook g4 running osx 10.3, I partitioned the HD using jaunty live and now I cant get back into osx.... any ideas on how to fix it? | 17:22 |
| ianMac | I have a ibook g4 running osx 10.3, I partitioned the HD using jaunty live and now I cant get back into osx.... any ideas on how to fix it? | 17:22 |
| vinnl | ianMac, did you also install Xubuntu after partitioning it? And are you sure you preserved the OS X partition during partitioning? | 17:23 |
| ianMac | I did, Im in xubuntu now | 17:23 |
| ianMac | I used the xubuntu partition tool during install | 17:24 |
| vinnl | OK, ehm, could you install Gnome Partition Editor to find out whether your OSX partitions are still there for sure? | 17:24 |
| ianMac | sure, Im pretty new to linux distros, can you tell me where I can get that? | 17:24 |
| TheSheep | system->synaptic package manager | 17:26 |
| TheSheep | and search for that | 17:26 |
| ianMac | cool thanks | 17:26 |
| vinnl | Or Applications->Add/Remove :) | 17:27 |
| === Odin is now known as th0r | ||
| ianMac | okay, the partition editor and it says it cant mount "machintosh HD" because the enclosing drive for the volume is locked | 17:38 |
| vinnl | Hmm... Could it be that you did not shut down your computer correctly before you installed Xubuntu? | 17:39 |
| ianMac | honestly I dont remember | 17:40 |
| ianMac | could be because I had a hard time installing xubuntu and had to shut down from the xubuntu install several times by holding down the power button | 17:40 |
| vinnl | OK well it seems like it might not matter, I think we can conclude that it is still there | 17:41 |
| vinnl | When you boot your computer, do you see something like "Press Esc for boot menu"? | 17:41 |
| ianMac | yea it shows 19.84gb for it | 17:41 |
| ianMac | no it takes me to yaboot and asks me to choose between osx or linux or cd, when I choose osx it shows a file blinking to the mac logo and then a question mark | 17:42 |
| ianMac | I tried holding option after the boot chime and it only gave linux as a choice to boot | 17:42 |
| vinnl | Hmm, I don't really know anything about yaboot and the only thing I know of the question mark is that it means something went wrong booting | 17:43 |
| vinnl | Which might after all have to do with the error you got in Gparted | 17:44 |
| ianMac | I guess I need to find out how to unlock the mac drive now | 17:44 |
| vinnl | Does gparted also show a suggestion for resolving it? | 17:44 |
| vinnl | I would guess a disk check but I have no idea how that works on OS X disks | 17:44 |
| ianMac | no, it just shows a caution sign next to fiel system that says uknown | 17:45 |
| vinnl | :S | 17:45 |
| ianMac | ya, thats what I said lol | 17:45 |
| vinnl | And in the right-click menu there's also no "Check disk for errors" or something? | 17:45 |
| ianMac | lemme see | 17:46 |
| ianMac | okay I double clicked it and it says warning unable to detect file system: possible reasons- file system is damaged, file system is unknown to Gparted, there is no file system available | 17:48 |
| vinnl | Hmm, the file system for OS X was HFS, right? | 17:48 |
| ianMac | I think, but Im not sure, its whatever is default for osx 10.3 | 17:49 |
| vinnl | It says here Gparted can check HFS+ but not HFS | 17:49 |
| vinnl | Yeah well I have little to no knowledge about OS X :S | 17:49 |
| ianMac | hda3, it says it up top | 17:49 |
| vinnl | That's the name of the device, not the filesystem | 17:49 |
| vinnl | Hmm :S | 17:49 |
| ianMac | lol, my bad | 17:49 |
| vinnl | You might try to see if there's an OS X support channel and whether they can help you there | 17:50 |
| ianMac | k thanks anyway, I made some progress, at least I know its still there | 17:50 |
| vinnl | Yeah let's hope all the data on there is still intact :S | 17:50 |
| ianMac | yea, if not I guess I'll just have to do a new install | 17:51 |
| ianMac | hey, whats the best flash plugin for ppc? | 17:51 |
| vinnl | Ehm, I believe you had to fuss around with nspluginwrapper but I'm not sure | 17:52 |
| vinnl | !flash | 17:52 |
| vinnl | !ppc | 17:52 |

| vinnl | ianMac, yep | 18:02 |
| ianMac | friggin battery died, and for some reason xubuntu is freezing on wake up | 18:03 |
| vinnl | Wake up as in fresh boot, or did you hibernate of suspend? | 18:03 |
| ianMac | anyway, any suggestions on a good flash plugin for ppc? | 18:03 |
| vinnl | Because the latter is known to often have problems | 18:03 |

| dkkong | Is there a way to make a bootable backup of my entire Xubuntu system (desktop settings, etc)? I've tried using RemasterSys and it says the image is too big for a DVD. I have an empty external harddrive I could use. | 19:33 |
| vidd | dkkong, why not simply install on that drive, and copy all the folders and files from your working to backup? | 19:35 |
| dkkong | Like do a new installation to the external, and just copy the system to the main drive? Would that make it bootable? | 19:36 |
| vidd | dkkong, the install makes it bootable.... | 19:37 |
| vinnl | Ibelieve there was one other than RemasterSys but I can't recall its name | 19:37 |
