[03:31] <william56> anyone know of a guide that walks ubuntu users through possible reasons that glxinfo gives "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig" ?
[04:06] <linuxNOOB> hello. i'm new to linux. so new i can't get it installed. i'm trying to install a linux distro on an old ibook i have. i've tried xubuntu and debian. i'm getting ready to try xubuntu again.
[04:07] <linuxNOOB> i'm also new to irc. so i don't know if this is working at all
[04:08] <linuxNOOB> is there anyone there?
[04:10] <linuxNOOB> no?
[05:26] <Micah> can anyone tell me the terminal command that tells my sound card specs?
[05:30] <Micah> no ones there then
[05:59] <psycho_oreos> lspci
[05:59] <psycho_oreos> lshal
[05:59] <psycho_oreos> there's many of them
[06:00] <Micah> tyvm
[06:00] <psycho_oreos> what specifically do you need though?
[06:00] <Micah> to make my sound play
[06:00] <Micah> lol
[06:00] <psycho_oreos> sometimes even stuff from dmesg or /var/log/messages shows infos or maybe the driver itself can be modprobed with verbose info (if its compiled and has that ability)
[06:00] <psycho_oreos> probably alsamixer
[06:00] <psycho_oreos> err alsaconf
[06:01] <Micah> i had this problem before and i fixed
[06:01] <Micah> all i can remember is that the solution was very simple
[06:01] <psycho_oreos> probably alsamixer, lol set it as mute
[06:02] <psycho_oreos> err by default, it was set as mute
[06:02] <Micah> lol yes i think that might be it\
[06:03] <Micah> yeah i fixed it thanks
[06:04] <psycho_oreos> nw
[06:26] <N-S> Good morning. How can I force RW flags for other users on an NTFS usbdisk (mounted with Truecrypt)? Currently it's 700 and I can't change it.
[08:19] <N-S> Figured it out myself
[08:39] <JarlG> Hello! I had an ubuntu installation, but I installed xfce, and removed GNOME, so now I basically have a xubuntu installation. There's one problem, however, the update manager still wants to download GNOME-things, which I don't want.. Is there a way to change the download manager to get xubuntu updates, not ubuntu updates? Thanks!
[08:43] <_Pete_> JarlG: remove the packages it's trying to update if you dont need them
[08:50] <JarlG> _Pete_: Okay, thanks. :P
[08:50] <JarlG> _Pete_: But if I had the xubuntu update manager, wouldn't there be xfce-related updates?
[08:50] <_Pete_> no
[08:51] <_Pete_> it updates all installed packages
[08:51] <JarlG> _pete_: Aaaah!
[11:16] <Shaymin> hey all
[11:17] <Shaymin> would like to throw a quick question out into the void in relation to a file browser crash issue
[11:17] <Shaymin> open in new window works fine
[11:17] <Shaymin> a simple double-click causes the window to die
[11:17] <Shaymin> any idea what I managed to screw up to make it behave this way? :D
[11:31] <Shaymin> fixed.
[12:30] <linuxNOOB> I'm getting ready to head to work, but I thought I'd post this problem I'm having installing linux on a G3 iBook. With Xubuntu, after I select my keyboard type, nothing else happens. I just get a blue screen.  With Debian, I get as far as Network Setup (I'm not really sure what to put in at the network setup screen, so I just make up stuff), then it goes to "acquiring additional componenets" and it doesn't get any further than 0%.
[13:29] <Guest95620> Hey
[13:31] <Guest95620> Could anyone tell me how to set the sound playback option to ALSA in xubuntu? ;o

[13:33] <psycho_oreos> dunno, I just removed pulseaudio lol
[13:33] <psycho_oreos> s/removed/remove
[13:36] <Guest95620> yeah, but i'd like to get it working though.. ;p
