homebrewciderhey there using Xubuntu, and Krusader, trying to copy files to server, can view files okay in server, but when copying get error message that failed to write file to xxx00:37
ryguygive it a little while, once someone notices someone asked a question they'll start helpin ya00:39
ryguyI'd help if I knew =/00:39
ryguydid you try opening krusader as root then copying them?00:39
homebrewciderfirst lot worked okay, now nothing00:40
homebrewciderthat's what is confusing me00:40
ryguytry running this command `sudo cp FILE_HERE DESTINATION_HERE`00:41
homebrewciderin krusader?00:41
ryguyif it works as root it means your permissions have been messed up00:41
ryguyhuh? in the terminal00:42
jim___.00:46
ryguy.?00:46
ryguyhomebreacider: you come up with anything?00:47
jim___Hi. I'm a noob and just installed 8.04.1 on a thinkpad t30 p4 2.2 512mb, and it takes exactly 4 minutes to boot00:48
jim___Ideas?00:48
ryguywhats your computer specs?00:49
jim___P4 2.2ghz 512mb00:49
jim___What else do you need to know?00:50
homebrewcidernot yet00:50
homebrewcidernot thinking straight00:51
ryguywhen you boot, does it say anything about "Booting from network" or anything like that? My computer tries to do that and I cant set it not to in the IOS so I have to press ESC everytime00:52
ryguyand that saves me at least 4~5 minutes00:52
ryguywhere does it take long00:53
jim___I've never seen a dialogue, it just hangs when the progress bar is at about 1/400:53
jim___Is there a way to boot it verbose so I can see what it's doing?00:53
ryguyim I dunno, lemme google around real quick =p00:54
jim___I tried some of that and this was one of the first hits :p00:54
homebrewcideras far as copying from one comp to another via command line "sudo cp (file on local computer) (location on remote computer where I want to copy to?)"00:54
ryguyjim___: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=49937400:55
jim___Thx00:55
ryguyhomebrewcider oh I see what you're trying to do00:55
ryguyare you logged in as the same user as the last time it worked?00:56
homebrewcideryes, it finished copying one lot and wouldn't do the same thing again00:56
homebrewciderthat was yesterday00:56
homebrewciderwent to bed, trying again todfay00:56
ryguyjim then see what it hangs on, see if its unnecessary then turn it off in "Startup Applications"00:56
ryguyhomebrew: you didnt reboot or anything?00:57
homebrewcidernot at the time , no00:57
ryguyhomebrew: what version of xubuntu are you on?00:57
homebrewcider9.0400:57
ryguydid you try doing it in thundar?00:58
homebrewciderhaven't got server showing up in thunar00:58
ryguyI recently switched to regular ubuntu, xubuntu was giving me too many problems00:58
ryguycould you send me a snapshot of whats going on here?01:03
tehC0unthey ryguy01:03
homebrewcidercan you give me a cli command to check permissions onthe server box? I'm logged in now via putty01:04

WantsXubuntugot my new xubuntu disc, on ubuntu now, anyone want to help me put in my puter01:19
WantsXubuntudont want to mess up my clean ubu OS though01:19
knomeso what do you want to do exactly?01:23
knomeinstall xubuntu and remove ubuntu? have both?01:23
WantsXubuntuon ubuntu now bought xubuntu disc also01:27
jim___Bought?01:27
knomeyes, what do you want to do?01:27
WantsXubuntuwant a partition for xubu with opera 10 turbo form more speed01:27
* jim___ starts selling xubuntu discs01:28
knomejim___, ondisc.com "sells" xubuntu discs for the price of *shipping*01:28
WantsXubuntuwill leave this part for ubuntu with FF for all the bloated software01:28
knomejim___, it's actually illegal to ask more than burning/material/shipping costs.01:28
ryguyI bought two xubuntu cds as well =p01:28
knomeWantsXubuntu, i'm not sure if you should create a new partition. just install package xubuntu-desktop (you don't actually even need the cd) and you can use xubuntu - just select xfce session from the gdm login screen.01:29
ryguyyeah "sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop"01:29
knomeryguy, we're probably going to update the artwork for the cd soon after karmic so you might have to buy a few more ;)01:29
ryguyI'm prolly gonna, if xubuntu decides to keep up with its bugs =/ I had alot of problems01:30
ryguyI got them for repairing computers and running on super slow computers01:30
knomeryguy, i hope they got fixed. we do everything we can.01:30
ryguyI'd help if I knew C01:31
ryguy=/ I'm a ruby guy01:31
ryguyanyways WantsXubuntu: run that command then...01:31
ryguyah01:31
ryguynvm01:31
knomethere's also need for triaging bugs01:31
ryguyWell alot of the bugs I encountered were specific to xubuntu, but came from third party apps01:31
ryguylike conky01:31
knomeconky? what's that :)01:32
ryguyI only encountered the problem on xubuntu01:32
ryguy=O01:32
ryguyits..amazing01:32
ryguyhold on lemme get you a screenie01:32
Balsaqlaptop battery dies was just heare as WantsXubuntu its me01:33
ryguyhttp://linuxowns.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/conky.png01:33
knomeryguy, right :)01:33
ryguyIt runs on your desktop and updates at a set interval, completely customizable01:34
ryguyand awesome01:34
knomeBalsaq, my comment:: i'm not sure if you should create a new partition. just install package xubuntu-desktop (you don't actually even need the cd) and you can use xubuntu - just select xfce session from the gdm login screen.01:34
ryguyanyways, Balsaq: open terminal and type "sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop"01:34
knomeryguy, i see it can be the reason some people might want to migrate to linux01:34
ryguythen when its done, logout and goto sessions and click Xubuntu01:34
knomeryguy, i want (need) a clearest possible desktop though01:35
Balsaqdont want the desktop? want the speed of the OS or is it not faster than ubu?01:35
ryguybalsaq, no we're talking about an application.01:35
ryguyxubuntu just uses less memory01:35
knomeBalsaq, the reason why xubuntu is faster is because of it's desktop environment etc., and xubuntu-desktop installs those packages for you01:35
ryguycause of the window manager is xfce01:36
Balsaqmy impression was xub is like ubu with less stuff in too make it faster is that right?01:36
ryguydifferent applicatiolns01:36
knomeBalsaq, no, not really.01:36
ryguywith smaller memory footprints01:36
Balsaqyou say if i change my destop it make it faster01:36
Balsaqso i thought,,,hmmm ubub is runnin good now, lets have some fun, put xubub on it own partition and test them side by side01:37
ryguyisnt it a live disk?01:37
ryguyjust throw in in there and run the live version and see if you like it01:37
Balsaqi have 10g HD still have 3.5 left over01:37
ryguy10g..? whats your system specs?01:38
Balsaqi have it on the dosk yes boughtit01:38
Balsaq400mgz dell dim xps r400 675sdram 10g hd 8mb ati01:38
Balsaq768sdram i meant01:38
ryguyyikes01:39
Balsaqold but runs ubu well01:39
Balsaqwant more speed but dont want to messup the ubu01:39
ryguyyeah, just open up the terminal01:40
Balsaqwas slow then today put a new flatscreen on her and now is reallly fast once i get on the net?01:40
ryguytype "sudo aptitude intsall xubuntu-desktop" (without the quotes)01:40
ryguybah01:40
ryguy"sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop"01:40
Balsaqdont know anyhting bout runnin apps/01:40
ryguyokay, listen01:41
ryguyfollow me step by step now01:41
ryguygoto Applications > Accessories > Terminal01:41
Balsaqand want to keep my ubub desk as is want al clean partition install of xubu01:41
ryguyno listen you dont need to do that01:41
ryguyyou'll still have all your applications and everything01:42
Balsaqyeah but if i do i will feel like i havent touched my ubu...i am  afakin puter d*mbas*01:42
Balsaqfreakin puter d*mmy here01:42
ryguylol alright01:42
ryguyits okay01:42
Balsaqnow you see...01:42
ryguyyou want ubuntu, but faster right?01:42
Balsaqvery superstuious01:42
ryguyso you want to install xubuntu which is based on ubuntu only looks different and is faster01:43
Balsaqgut ubub in here flippin perfect will never risk it01:43
elninjaWhat's ubub?01:43
Balsaqwell i thought xubu had a lot less in it and ran al ot faster and would match it with opera 10 turbo01:43
Balsaqubuntu01:43
Balsaqis ubu poor typing skills01:43
elninjaoh01:43
ryguyit doesnt have less01:43
ryguyit has applications that do the same thing as the applications you currently have only they run faster01:44
Balsaqtry to answer fst...and a couple coors01:44
Balsaqlike to keep everything separate01:44
ryguythen get a separate computer -_-01:44
Balsaqubub with ff over here...xubu with opera over her01:45
Balsaqwell now that you mention it i have another old dell business puter on the way as we speak01:45
knomeBalsaq, there's really just no sense in that.01:45
Balsaqonly 4 years old or so01:45
ryguyi know ut thats what he wants..01:45
ryguyalright then pop in the disk, then when the setup comes to the partition manager, choose the option to "Create partition in remaining space" or something along those lines01:46
knomeBalsaq, xubuntu does not run any slower if you install with ubuntu. also, it doesn't "touch" your ubuntu any way. and if it does, you can remove it.01:46
Balsaqwiil not mess with this set up unless separate partition till i have a flippin clue01:46
knomeokay...01:46
Balsaqi get it done but once everything works i get reeeaaalllyyy friggin touchy01:46
Balsaqthe wholem kill w98 ubuntu install took 6 hours01:47
Balsaqthen took 3 hours when i took 9.0401:47
* ryguy facepalms01:47
Balsaqso i guess we'll throw it on the business puter i got comin in then...wil it run faster..sound like you all think its just the same01:48
ryguywhat? thats exactly the opposite of what we've been saying..01:49
Balsaqwell you guy donwant to help partiton the xubu in here right?01:49
ryguyxUBUNTU is UBUNTU running Xfce01:49
ryguyx/UBUNTU/ is /UBUNTU/ running /X/fce01:50
Balsaqo01:50
ryguy<ryguy> alright then pop in the disk, then when the setup comes to the partition manager, choose the option to "Create partition in remaining space" or something along those lines01:50
Balsaqwill it "mingle" with my ubu?01:51
ryguyhow could it if its on another partition01:51
Balsaqso that partition offering is unascapable....wil happen no matter what01:52
ryguyI have no idea what you mean, or what you want. you could easily do this without making a new partition01:53
Balsaqi love clean install, i have upgrades or desktos that sort of mold in...if i choose...can i boot xubuntu-as aclean install even though i have ubuntu in here now, and not mess up the ubuntu, but actually end up with 2 partition, (1)ubuntu with FF (2.) xubuntu with opera...and actually do all this with ever risking my perfect clean ubuntu install? if there is any chance an idiot computer dikwad like me can mess that up i will put i02:00
ryguy<ryguy> alright then pop in the disk, then when the setup comes to the partition manager, choose the option to "Create partition in remaining space" or something along those lines02:02
Balsaqok now, i  have 10g hard drive, 3.5 is gone, wha does xubu take up?02:05
ryguyumm 1 second02:06
Balsaqjust so you know i tried this with my new puppy disc earlier and the guy in there couldnt get it done...02:06
Balsaqwhen it was supposed to boot puppy it sounded like a boot and then came right back to my ubuntu log inscren every time02:07
ryguydid you press ESC to get into grub?02:08
Balsaqi still have a bruise on my forehad from beating it on the wall as i tried over and over to poung it into the dell02:08
ryguylol02:08
ryguywell this guy at a forum said: I've put Xubuntu on a 233Mhz/128Mb/2Gb02:09
Balsaqno the esc thing happened so fast i didnt have time and didnt kn0w enought to risk a fast move like that02:09
Balsaqbut i saw that blinkin escape line now that you mentioned it02:09
ryguylol you really are new to computers in general wrnt ya?02:09
Legendrehowdy02:09
ryguyyou just tap esc a bunch of times when you turn on the computer02:09
ryguyhowdy thar02:10
LegendreSo phase1 of the Edgy-2-Jaunty upgrade went reasonably well today02:10
Legendrebut I've run into some oddities.. mostly with adding new users02:10
ryguywhat? you realize that karmic is comming out in less than a month right02:11
Legendrefor instance, when I call up the users/groups applet, it never asks for a password, and hence I can't add users or make any other changes.02:11
Balsaqbut is xubu so close to ubu that it really is a non isuues or is it faster02:11
Legendreryguy: this was my oppy' to get the work done, while the system was out of use for a week02:12
LegendreI'll load up II when it's available..02:12
Legendreerr, KK02:12
ryguyoh my god balsaq. listen to me for the hundrenth time. x/UBUNTU/ is /UBUNTU/ running /X/fce. It has the same program types (text editor, music player, video player) that do the ssame things but just run faster02:13
ryguyits still UBUNTU02:13
Legendreso is this a known issue with JJ?02:13
Legendreyeah Balsaq, listen to ryguy.. same OS, different default desktop02:14
Legendreand trimmed to suit that desktop. Otherwise, all functionality remains or is available02:14
ryguyare you root when you try to make the changes?02:14
Balsaqso does it come in with FF on it02:14
Legendreyes02:14
LegendreFirefox is std.02:15
ryguybut you can uninstall it and install opera if you want02:15
Balsaqcan i dump ff free up space and throw opera in ther02:15
ryguy"sudo aptitude purge firefox"02:15
Balsaqok my screen doesnt always roll up?02:15
knomeBalsaq, yes you can, but if you run a shared installation, firefox will also disappear from ubuntu.02:15
Legendreryguy: I dont have the root act activated.. I have never activated it on *ubuntu02:15
ryguyLegendre, I mean like adding the users through sudo command02:16
Legendrewith sudo ... what is it, adduser-app or something?02:16
ryguynot sure, I never added users before =s02:16
Balsaqno i wont do a shered one, want 2 separate installs on 2 separate patritions02:17
Legendrethat's what I had to do, but it should have just begged for the pw when I called up the app.02:17
Balsaqgnome here....xge here.....ff here.....opera here02:17
ryguyBalsaq. for fucks sake02:17
ryguyfor the third time02:17
Legendreas it has done in the past, on EE etc02:17
ryguy<ryguy> alright then pop in the disk, then when the setup comes to the partition manager, choose the option to "Create partition in remaining space" or something along those lines02:17
ryguyfourth now actually02:17
Balsaqok here goes..will do it when i get the g4 up and running02:18
knome!language | ryguy02:18
ubotturyguy: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.02:18
LegendreOther odd thing.. When I create new users, they don't get the same homedir config as the 1st user02:18
Legendrefor instance, no ~/Desktop02:19
* ryguy grumbles02:19
Legendreit's like there's no /etc/skel02:20
Legendreguess I should take a look and see if it's there, come to think.. though I don't even know if the user-add app reads /etc/skel02:20
knomeLegendre, use 'adduser' if you insist on adding users from command line02:21
knomei'm going to bed. good night/day everybody and enjoy xubuntu.02:27
ryguynight02:28
balsaqgoingforitlosy my connection for a bit02:31
balsaqgoingforitnow i logged into ubu and i see the xub icon on my desk02:31
balsaqgoingforitwants me too click on start pkg manager02:32
balsaqgoingforiti think my DOS screnns ran so fast that all mt partition choice flew by me at light speed02:33
balsaqgoingforitstill here ryguy?02:34
balsaqgoingforitif i got xubuntu on my desktop does that mean it wants to run it off the live cd?02:40
MueslixHi, is anyone online right now?03:01
Legendrehi03:01
MueslixHey I was just wondering about how I would go about installing the 9.04 jaunty jackalope on my computer without a CD drive.03:02
Mueslixok uh nevermind... I mixed up the version of xfce with the release of xubuntu03:03
Mueslixi'm already running 9.0403:04
MueslixThanks for all the help!03:04

LegendreSo, anyone know about the new user creation issues in JJ?03:37
Legendrehow to fix them?03:37
LegendreWhistling along, with the tumbling tumbleweeds..04:32
balsaqwhen i was at staples today, i spoke to a computer tech who informed of a type of buntu that is designed specifically for people who watch o lot of online videos. he said it had a lot of features built in to make them run right straight out of the box. has anyone heard of the name of this particular form of buntu...or tried it?06:14

TheSheep!broken14:37
ubottuSaying "It says nothing", "It does nothing" is generally not very useful for troubleshooting. Please be as specific as possible: if you see a black screen, say so, if you see a shell prompt, say so, if you see an !error message, say so - Also, most !CLI commands don't print anything when they succeed, but only when they fail.14:37

KXDTRAU_MU256+21816:16
KXDTRAU_MU12816:16

vinnl!enter16:17
ubottuPlease try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!16:17
KXDTRAU_MUhow can i make all the videos?16:17
KXDTRAU_MUfast16:17
vinnlDon't really know, I sometimes have the problem as well, seems to be a problem with Flash since I also experience it on other operating systems16:17
KXDTRAU_MUfor example, hd videos are impossible to watch16:17
KXDTRAU_MUi installed the flash,it is working great. WAV files were problem.16:18
vinnlKXDTRAU_MU, oh, that is probably because your computer isn't fast enough16:18
KXDTRAU_MU:)16:18
KXDTRAU_MUhehe 1.70 celeron its.from the dark ages :)16:18
KXDTRAU_MUwhich linux version do you offer?16:19
KXDTRAU_MUfew people told me netbook16:19
KXDTRAU_MUNetbook from pendrivelinux website16:19
vinnlThat's not a Linux version, that's a hardware type16:20
KXDTRAU_MUthere is one version of it with 976mb16:20
KXDTRAU_MUas img file16:20
KXDTRAU_MUworks from usb16:20
KXDTRAU_MUxubuntu16:20
KXDTRAU_MUnetbook edition it was i guess.16:20
KXDTRAU_MUits in my other computer16:20
vinnlSo what is your question? :P16:21
KXDTRAU_MUhow can i make it faster or if i install other version,does it work faster?  :)16:21
vinnlThere are other Linux distributions than Xubuntu which are (way) faster, but also less easy to use16:22
vinnlSo basically, it depends on how much usability you're willing to sacrifice and how much work you're willing to invest in it16:22
KXDTRAU_MUhmmm16:22
KXDTRAU_MUactually,its ok with memory usage but i do see the cpu usage is always over 70 percent16:23
KXDTRAU_MUis this normal?16:23
vinnlDon't think so, but I know next to nothing about CPU16:23
TheSheepit's not16:23
vinnlYou can open Applications->System->System monitor and check what it using all the CPU power16:23
KXDTRAU_MUhmmmm16:23
TheSheepuse the system monitor to see what's using it16:23
KXDTRAU_MUyes,i was using it :)16:24

MaloenBCNHi guise, having my friends IBM T30, curretnly with XUBU, how do i do graphics(compiz/screenlets) and audio?17:13
MaloenBCNi checked all the internets but no joy17:13
TheSheep"do"?17:14
MaloenBCNor should i DL hardy instead and follow this http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_8.04_(Hardy_Heron)_on_a_ThinkPad_T3017:14
MaloenBCNwell, u know, drivers pls or ideas how to config17:14
TheSheepit should work out of the box17:16
TheSheepit doesnt?17:16
MaloenBCNwell no audio and the graphics card is an ati radeon mobility 7500, that means no compiz17:16
TheSheepxubuntu doesn't come with compiz anyways17:17
MaloenBCNeverything works fine, wifi card does with ndiswrapper17:17
TheSheepdid you try the application->system->drivers?17:17
MaloenBCNyes i intalled from add/remove17:17
TheSheep!ati17:17
ubottuFor Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto17:17
MaloenBCNu mean the hardware drivers? yes but did not detect anything17:18
MaloenBCNcool, and how should i proceed with the audio17:20
TheSheep!sound17:22
ubottuIf you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP317:22
MaloenBCNcheers its copypasted, hell yeah i got work to do kthxbye17:28

Ido_Hey guys, I have a question. I'm talking from a machine with Xubuntu, and I want to install Samba, but I don't really know where to go in their website to install a version that fits Xubuntu...help please?17:54
TheSheepjust install it from the xubuntu repository17:57
TheSheepusing synaptic17:57
likemindeadOr open a terminal and enter (without the quotes) "sudo apt-get install samba" Ido_.17:58
Ido_Guys, what's the keyboard shortcut for Terminal?18:03
likemindeadHmm...18:05
likemindeadI'm not actually in Xubuntu at the moment. :-\18:05
TheSheepIdo_: there is none by default, you can set one up in keyboard settings18:07
likemindeadThat's what I thought. (It's Super+t in CrunchBang...)18:07
Ido_Alright...where can I find it in the Applications list meanwhile? (Sorry, really new to it)18:08
TheSheepIdo_: settings->keyboard settings18:09
likemindeadTilda FTW!18:13
likemindeadOh... :-\18:13
premorphosis there any better alternative to alsa in the latest dist?18:51
likemindeadYou should be able to use Pulse or OSS, premorphos.18:57
likemindead(As alternatives.)18:57
premorphostnx likemindead are you using alsa and have you encountered any problems with mic capture18:59
likemindeadI am using ALSA, but haven't used a mic at all.19:00
Balsaqwas suggested to me thant if i change my desktop to xubuntu, rather than ubuntu 904-which i have now, that it may fix the problem i am having playing youtube videos. ..problem is they play real slow and the music plays great...but the video lags way behind the music?19:01
Balsaq400mgz 768sdram 8mb ati19:02
Balsaqi know my puter cand di it cause it was doing it good on youtube with w9819:02
likemindeadYour processor is 400MHz, Balsaq?19:02
likemindead0_o19:02
Balsaqyup19:03
Balsaq512 cache19:03
likemindeadI'd try a lighter distro.19:03
Balsaqmmx p219:03
Balsaqdont know distro19:03
likemindeadCrunchBang would be my suggestion.19:03
Balsaqcomputer friggen dork here19:03
Balsaqcant program my way out of a wet paper bag19:03
likemindeaddistro is short for distribution. There are 300+ active Linux distros. :-)19:04
Balsaqheard the was a linux called linux mint all set up for playing videos online19:04
Balsaqbut this OS i have is running perfect...just the youtube slow thing?19:04
premorphosim having the same problem but mine is 2,8GHz19:04
Balsaqwow 2.8?19:05
Balsaqthats why i think its just a driver or something19:05
Balsaqcause in my OS it says i have no drivers19:05
Balsaqgot flash in here though19:05
Balsaqpremorshos: what vidoe card do you have?19:06
premorphosi have have worked on this problem only thing i havent tried is the propetery drivers for the video card19:06
premorphosati 9000igp19:07
Balsaqwhew sounds like a big one19:07
Balsaqmy puter is 11 years old19:07

Balsaqsame as mine?19:07
premorphoscard19:07
Balsaq8mb ati card here from 199819:08
Balsaqi know ot can do it becasue it was doing it well with w98, but w98 couldnt do anything else ket freezing so i wiped it clean for ubuntu19:08
Balsaqruns like a new puter now, except for the utube...weird19:09
premorphoswell this is an interesting problem. i had the same problem with xp there for i now have xubuntu19:09
premorphosit must be the ati.. culd it?19:10
Balsaqyeah at work we have xp pro on 4-5 year old dells and they struggle with utube19:10
Balsaqbut yet my 11 year old dell was doing it fine even with the 8mb ati19:11
Balsaqand w98?19:11
Balsaqwe need to find a driver to dpowmload i know it19:11
* likemindead loathes ATI. :-(19:11
premorphoshav eyou tried any flash outside fire fox?19:12
likemindeadBalsaq, I'd get an old NVIDIA card off of eBay for cheap.19:12
Balsaqwell would love too, even just for fun..i guess it could be that ubuntu hates ols ati's19:12
Balsaqold*19:13
premorphosor get the propetery driver working. it might work19:13
Balsaqbut my thing is...shouldnt i have had to download drivers when i went to ubuntu...driver that went along with the flash thing i did. a tech on here had me go into a part of buntu thatsaid which vid drivers i had and i went there and it was empty?19:14
Balsaqhe said he would sleep on it and get back too me...he also told me which ubuntu features interefere and we checked it out and all the ones that interefere were laready NOT checked in add remove...buy i wrote em down if you want them19:15
kakabatesHello?19:16
likemindead!hi19:16
ubottuHi! Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay!19:16
kakabatesWow...cool I got to the right place.19:17
Balsaqlikeminded: if i do the ebay nvivida thing, how do i know if i can stuuf the card in my old dell?19:17
likemindeadBalsaq, the free, open source drivers are included in the initial install.19:17
Balsaqo.thought you might says that, but yet none were listed in my place where it shows drivers accoerding to a tech guy in here19:17
likemindeadMake sure you know whether your old Dell is PCI, PCI Express (PCI-E), or AGP, Balsaq.19:18
kakabatesthis is my first time on IRC.19:18
Balsaqok i will look up the pci thing now have my original paperwork!19:18
likemindeadI'd bet you have just PCI.19:18
likemindeadBut you might have an AGP slot.19:18
likemindeadSomething like an old GeForce 6200 might work for you.19:19
likemindeadThat's what I have in my ancient HP. It's PCI.19:19
Balsaqati xpert 98d 8mb 3d 2x agp graphics card factory install???19:20
Balsaqpci dvd decoder card factory install19:20
kakabatesCan I ask for help with getting a Xubuntu wireless connection to work properly?19:20
premorphoskakabates: yes you can19:21
Balsaqturtle beach montego a3d 64 voice pci sound card....sounds like i got pci's and agp's here!19:21
premorphoswelcome by the way19:21
kakabateslucky me.....looks like i'm connected but i can't get the browser or any other app to access anything online19:22
kakabatesty19:22
premorphosBalsaq: if it does work for you, you got to tell me cus i could kill for getting to play flash games19:23
Balsaqyoum mean if the nividia idea works?19:23
premorphosprecise19:24
Balsaqsee i was told by many people at dell and techy people that the video card helps with intensive things like games or engineering software, but for simple things like online videos it wont help???19:24
Balsaqthat pat makes no sence too me, but then again...i am a computer flippin moron!19:26
premorphoskakabates: you are online since you are in an icq channel.. but what do you see if you click youre connection settings icon in the top right corner?19:26
kakabatesahhh....I know.  New to Linux sort of. Or at least new to the inner workings of linux. I just installed karmic from the alternate ISO on an old Satellite 4030 CDT19:26
kakabateson my my main computer right now and i have laptop next to me.19:27
premorphos!karmic19:29
ubottuKarmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+119:29
kakabatesok let me get my head together so i can ask the right questions in the right places19:30
premorphoskakabates: try the #ubuntu+1 channel   this one is focused on xubuntu19:30
Balsaqpremorphos: likemindead: do you agree with my statement at14:24?19:31
kakabatesthanks prem....i should also grab myself a list of IRC commands.19:31
premorphosno prob19:32
premorphosBalsaq: i wasnt loged on at that time.. plz paste it19:33
Balsaqwas told vid cards help with intense games but wont help play online vids (dell and techy people said it)19:33
premorphosoh yes i was logged on.. different timeline. well i wuled have  agreed till i tryed linux. since the driver that comes with the os is built by oss programers without the help of ati it does strange things19:38
Balsaqok i see...now when the techy dude told me go look in aplace where it shoed my drivers, why is there no drivers listed? do you show drivers listed in your puter?19:40
premorphoscompanys like ati wasent much helpful towards the oss comunety before19:40
Balsaqyeah i can imagine that...but my puters says i have no drivers installed?19:40
premorphosmayby do you mean add/remove?19:41
premorphosunder applications19:41
vinnlBalsaq, where does it say that?19:41
Balsaqwell in add remove it has these ones checked: macro, adobe, movie....BUT the tech dude had me look somewhere in some driver file thingie and it was empty and he was stumped?19:42
vinnlBalsaq, did the tech dude know you were using Xubuntu?19:42
vinnlAnd what was the driver fiel thingy?19:42
Balsaqso i felt like there should be some drivers in that driver file box he led me into19:42
Balsaqno he knew i was on ubuntu but said try xubuntu19:43
Balsaqhe thinks that xubuntu will take less of my power thus le tthe vids play at correct speed19:43
Balsaqthen he said he will research it and get back too me...seemed confused cause my same puter ran the vids great with w9819:44
Balsaqyet the whole puter runs waaayyyy better on ubuntu19:45
vinnlAgain: what was the driver file box? Was it Applications->System->Hardware Drivers?19:45
Balsaqyeah that one!!!19:45
Balsaqi have none in there i seem toremember him telling me to go there19:46
vinnlAnd what was your graphics card?19:46
Balsaq8mb ati19:46
Balsaqbut it worked great on w9819:46
Balsaqso i know i can do it19:46
vinnlYeah I got that19:47
vinnlDo you have the exact card name?19:47
Balsaqyes in fact ahve all my original papers...ati xpert 98d 8mb 3d 2x agp graphics card factory install19:48
TheSheep!ati | Balsaq19:48
ubottuBalsaq: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto19:48
Balsaqbinary drive? i am a comlete computer moron?19:51
vinnldrive*r*19:51
Balsaqnice like there but it seems to stop at ati radeon stuff 9300 and what have you....my old timer isnt listed19:55
Balsaqlike =link i meant to say19:55
Balsaqno mention of ati xpert stuf on the link19:56
Balsaqi suppose i could follow the link instruction for ati cards that are not mine and pray...19:56
vinnlNot sure if that's wise19:57
Balsaqyeah i didnt think so...thats why i usually dont do the links everytime i go there as the bots tell me its not for me19:57
Balsaqbut if i never solve i still will never put windows back i nhere it tortured me  every day for 11 years and this buntu runs perfect all the time19:59
Balsaqthen...yesterday i bouth a new cheapie acer 18.5 in monitor an it runs even faster?19:59
vinnlBalsaq, something that *might* (but probably won't) work is to run an older version (preferably that still receives security updates, such as 6.06), which might still support your older card20:00
Balsaqbouth-bought*20:00
vinnlAh, and you might buy a new graphics card :P20:00
Balsaqyeah not a bad idea...never thoought of the  6.06 idea?20:00
Balsaqi have installed ram...is an vid card install a big hassle?20:01
vinnlNo idea, I've never done it :P20:01
Balsaqwhen i experimented with sdram i put double the amount in that dell says i can have and it worked great20:02
premorphosmy RS300M AGP [Radeon Mobility 9100IGP] isnt listed20:03
Balsaqsee what i mean20:04
Balsaqwellluckily youtune vids are way down on my priority list...and out lil g4 lapper runs perfect20:05
premorphosvinnl: is there any other solution. you think R200 9100 might work?20:06
vinnlpremorphos, what's your problem?20:06
premorphossame as Balsaq20:08
vinnlpremorphos, and do you see a driver under Hardware Drivers?20:08
premorphosonly a modem driver20:11
premorphosvinnl: in add/remove i can find the ati propetery driver but it is not installd20:15
vinnlpremorphos, if it's not under Hardware Drivers then it's probably not meant for your card20:15
premorphosbut still there is someting wrong since i cant even se the smallest flash vidd20:18
Balsaqpremorphos: when you go into system-hardware drivers is your empt as is mine?20:27
Balsaqempty i meant?20:27
premorphosnope i have a modem driver there20:27
Balsaqsay no proprietay drivers in use on this system and is empty when i go there20:28
Balsaqso can it hurt if i go load up on some"proprietary drivers"?20:28
Balsaqdoes this mean i have a chance!20:29
vinnlBalsaq, if proprietary drivers are listed there activating them might help20:29
Balsaqas i say...it says i have none and there is nothing listed at all20:29
Balsaqso do i have to put them in there20:30
vinnlNo, if there are proprietary drivers available they should appear there automatically20:30
Balsaqso thats it then...no drivers20:32
vinnlWell, that's it when it comes to my help, but perhaps someone else reads this who can help20:32
Balsaqso i guess i go into the ubuntu driver place and see if any of those cards can be stuffed in my old dell...if they can go in my dell then i will know i can get the drivers for them? does that makes sence? kind of goin in backwards i guess?20:33
vinnlIf that Dell also has Ubuntu then yes20:34
Balsaqwell i am on the dell now and yes i put ubuntu 904 in it running it now20:35
