| Besogon | why my sound does turn off when I'v just boot computer? Does anybody face with it? | 11:24 |
| Sysi | many have same problem | 11:25 |
| Carnophage | Besogon: sound isn't really off or the icon in the panel just doesn't say it's off? | 11:25 |
| Sysi | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/352732 | 11:26 |
| Besogon | Carnophage, I can appear sound only with xfce4-mixer. (sound is really off) | 11:27 |
| Besogon | Sysi, I will see you have given | 11:27 |
| Carnophage | Besogon: hmm so I have a different problem then, my sound is ok but the icon in the panel, always after reboot or fresh start says that the sound is on | 11:28 |
| leaf-sheep | Besogon: Run "sudo alsactl init" in the terminal. | 11:32 |
| Besogon | leaf-sheep, OK. I'v just done that. What now? | 11:34 |
| leaf-sheep | Besogon: Sounds working? | 11:34 |
| Besogon | leaf-sheep, yes. But I have to reboot for check if it works after boot. | 11:35 |
| leaf-sheep | Boot away. | 11:36 |
| leaf-sheep | Besogon: How is it going? | 11:40 |
| Besogon | leaf-sheep, hmm.. "alsactl init" can swich on the sound, but after boot sound steel is off... | 11:40 |
| leaf-sheep | Besogon: You had to do the command again? | 11:41 |
| Besogon | leaf-sheep, yes | 11:41 |
| Besogon | leaf-sheep, It writes me this | 11:42 |

| leaf-sheep | That's normal. | 11:42 |
| leaf-sheep | I guess -- Do try --> sudo alsactl init ; sudo alsactl store | 11:42 |
| leaf-sheep | It'll store in a profile. | 11:42 |
| Besogon | leaf-sheep, At the time, gnome works fine | 11:43 |
| Besogon | ok. I will try | 11:43 |
| leaf-sheep | Also, do "alsamixer" and regulate all bars high. See any "blue/gray M" -- Toggle 'm' to unmute to "green 00" | 11:43 |
| leaf-sheep | Then do the "sudo alsactl store" again to store. | 11:43 |
| leaf-sheep | ESC to save out. | 11:43 |
| leaf-sheep | Besogon: You want to try #ubuntu -- more traffic than KDE/X -- but some of them does use X. I'm going to take my puppy out for a morning walk. Bye. :o Let me know the results too. ;) | 11:44 |
| Besogon | leaf-sheep, ok | 11:45 |

| likemindead | If I installed Xubuntu 9.10 when it was Alpha 6 and I run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will I have, essentially, the 9.10 Beta release? | 16:33 |
| likemindead | Or is there a difference? | 16:33 |
| Sysi | no, you don't need dist upgrade | 16:33 |
| likemindead | Oh? | 16:34 |
| Sysi | just install updates normally | 16:34 |
| likemindead | Same as a fresh Beta install? | 16:34 |
| likemindead | When all is said and done? | 16:34 |
| Sysi | you end up with exatly same OS | 16:34 |

| z00q | NE1 here? | 17:42 |
| TheSheep | !u | z00q | 17:45 |
| ubottu | z00q: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. | 17:45 |
| z00q | Is anyone here? | 17:46 |
| Sysi | of course not, irc is dead | 17:46 |
| TheSheep | nobody is here | 17:46 |
| z00q | Heh heh. I have been away from irc for ten years. Just got out of prison. Please excuse any social lapses on my part. | 17:48 |
| TheSheep | if you need help with any problem, justask your question and if anybody knows the answer, they will respond | 17:48 |
| TheSheep | also, stick around, many people look at the channel from time to time and may answer you after an hour or something like that | 17:49 |
| z00q | Well, I have a Compaq Armada E500. 256 mg RAM, 700MHZ Processor. I am trying to install xubuntu from cd but keep getting a seg fault error and the machine freezzes. Am I wrong to assume that a seg fault error is related to a memory problem? | 17:50 |
| TheSheep | it may be | 17:52 |
| TheSheep | are you using the livecd? | 17:52 |
| z00q | Yes. | 17:52 |
| TheSheep | on low-ram systems it's better to use the alternate cd, it needs much less ram to work | 17:52 |
| TheSheep | it installs exactly the same system | 17:52 |
| TheSheep | just with a text-based installer | 17:52 |
| slow-motion | hi | 17:53 |
| z00q | Well, I don't currently have a cd burner. These are the disks from On-Disk.com. | 17:54 |
| slow-motion | how do i get my partly downloaded torrents back in transmission? | 17:54 |
| TheSheep | z00q: that's a laptop? | 17:55 |
| z00q | Is there a way to use unetbootin to do the install? | 17:55 |
| z00q | Yes. It is a laptop. | 17:55 |
| TheSheep | slow-motion: just open them in transmission, and tell it to save them in the same place | 17:55 |
| slow-motion | ok, thx | 17:55 |
| TheSheep | slow-motion: it will check the existing files for bad parts and download only those | 17:55 |
| slow-motion | i see | 17:56 |
| slow-motion | i solved my problem that i can't open xvid encoded videos that i had some days ago | 17:56 |
| slow-motion | i just installed vlc | 17:56 |
| TheSheep | z00q: hmm... you don't have to use a cd... | 17:57 |
| TheSheep | !install | 17:57 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 17:57 |
| z00q | I am using bandwidth @ a public library. IT won't let me access the tinyurl address. | 18:05 |
| z00q | That's ironic..... | 18:05 |
| slow-motion | TheSheep thank you. it worked | 18:06 |
| z00q | brb.... | 18:06 |
| slow-motion | i'm still impressed how powerful a small tool like transmission is | 18:06 |
| SiDi | haha, it is indeed | 18:11 |
| SiDi | Ido_: still around ? Sorry i forgot you :x | 18:12 |
| webbb82 | Is there a way to drag and drop apps into the panel in gnome you can is there a way in xfce | 18:30 |
| knome | webbb82, no, you can't do that in xfce. | 18:30 |
| webbb82 | you have youj do the "add launcher deal | 18:31 |
| knome | yes, you have to use "add launcher" | 18:31 |
| z00q | Well, TheSheep, it appears that the seg fault is happening as the hardware drivers are being loaded. This is the last message before the seg fault: udevd_event [2518]: 'path_id/devices/i8042/serio4/input5/mouse2' abnormal exit | 18:44 |
| webbb82 | i got a weird thing with my panel its shaded a dark grey untill i move the mouse over it then it will turn light grey untill i move the mouse off it then it goes back to dark grey | 18:46 |
| TheSheep | webbb82: right click, select 'customize panel' and uncheck the 'make active panel opaque' checkbox | 18:50 |
| TheSheep | webbb82: btw, you can drag into the list into the 'add launcher' | 18:50 |
| Serraphyn | Is there a way to install xubuntu off pen drive? I don't want to d/l a dvd and I'm out of CDRW disks | 19:38 |
| Sysi | are you on windows? | 19:39 |
| Serraphyn | kubuntu right now | 19:39 |
| Sysi | or linux or what | 19:39 |
| Sysi | you can switch it to xubuntu by installing "xubuntu-desktop" | 19:40 |
| Serraphyn | K, hope that fixes my sound problems | 19:40 |
| Serraphyn | only tried kubuntu cause some folks said it was nicer, but its just clunky to me compared to xfce | 19:41 |
| Serraphyn | And its sound is all borked | 19:42 |
| Sysi | i also prefet xfce over kde | 19:42 |
| Serraphyn | its just cleaner eh? People ask me why and I'm like it kinda like shotgun vs a rifle, both kill ones just cleaner | 19:43 |
| Sysi | there just isn't everything on kde | 19:44 |
| Serraphyn | yeah, my server uses xfce4 for a desktop | 19:44 |
| Sysi | like that scrolling on desktop changes workspace, you won't get xubuntu to stop in last one | 19:44 |
| Sysi | *kubuntu | 19:45 |
| Sysi | if i remember right, its also impossible with gnome | 19:45 |
| Serraphyn | umm the install is done on xubuntu-desktop do I just reboot? | 19:47 |
| Serraphyn | or do the /etc/init.d/kdm stop and restart with gdm? | 19:48 |
| Serraphyn | Sorry if I'm kinda half smart mostly retarded sounding, I probably know to much of not enough of linux even though I'ved used it for 12 years | 19:49 |
| Sysi | log out, and select "xfce" tosession type | 19:49 |
| Serraphyn | k brb | 19:49 |
| Serraphyn | GOD I LOVE XFCE | 19:57 |

| darkham | mean | 20:00 |
| Serraphyn | darkham, then try at CLI using >smbtree | 20:01 |
| darkham | yes, i typed it, i wathc my shares, but how can i browse? | 20:01 |
| Serraphyn | the files you mean? | 20:02 |
| Serraphyn | might look up SMBMOUNT | 20:02 |
| darkham | yes, the files | 20:02 |
| darkham | ok | 20:02 |
| Serraphyn | or how to setup the mount to use samba shares(windows shares) | 20:03 |
| Serraphyn | One sec I'll find you a good tut | 20:03 |

| Serraphyn | bbiab, spouse aggro | 20:06 |
| darkham | how can i watch the UNC name of the folder shares? | 20:18 |
| darkham | i installed nautilus for sharing samba shares | 20:29 |
| darkham | but it don't open it | 20:29 |
| likemindead | Sorry, darkham, I don't know Samba. :-\ | 20:32 |
| likemindead | !Samba | 20:32 |

| z00q | Well, I guess it is about time to take the install cds and put them in the micorwave and forget about gettnig this distro to install on my laptop. Or I could go for the post office option......... | 22:18 |
| likemindead | ...? | 22:19 |
| durt | z00q, what, you can't get it to burn right? | 22:20 |
| z00q | I can't burn anything....I have a very old laptop and I bought the cds from on-disk. | 22:21 |
| z00q | 9.04 does not like my laptop at all.... | 22:21 |
| z00q | Can't even install it inside of windows... | 22:21 |
| durt | so it won't boot? it won't install, what happens? | 22:21 |
| z00q | Well, during the install, even with acpi=off it crashes when it starts loading the devices drivers | 22:22 |
| likemindead | I'm running Xubuntu on a 7-year-old PIII laptop. :-) | 22:22 |
| z00q | I tried unetbootin and get the same problem. | 22:23 |
| z00q | So I tried WUBI and I get a permission denied error and the install locks down | 22:23 |
| likemindead | What's the hardware on your laptop? | 22:23 |
| z00q | So I try the live cd... | 22:23 |
| z00q | Piii 600 256 RAM | 22:24 |
| z00q | Armada e500\ | 22:24 |
| z00q | I am at my wits end. And very frustrated... | 22:24 |
| z00q | Fixing just to move on to another distro. | 22:24 |
| z00q | Have been messing with this for 3 weeks now... | 22:25 |
| likemindead | Hmm. Sorry to hear that, z00q. | 22:26 |
| likemindead | My Dell C610 loves Xubuntu (though I am running 9.10). | 22:26 |
| likemindead | It's 700MHz PIII but I did up the RAM to 1GB. | 22:26 |
| z00q | The requirements only mention 198 meg for the install.... | 22:27 |
| z00q | I am overlooking something somewhere.... | 22:28 |
| likemindead | True. But that's bare minimum, just scraping by. | 22:28 |
| likemindead | What's the chipset? | 22:28 |
| z00q | Well, I have more than that | 22:28 |
| likemindead | Right. | 22:28 |
| likemindead | Try booting Puppy Linux, Damn Small Linux, &/or Knoppix, z00q. | 22:31 |
| z00q | I can get Absolute Linux to install but It requires too much work aftr the install to get it configured like I want it. | 22:32 |
| z00q | Plus it is a Slackware derivative.... | 22:32 |
| likemindead | Right. | 22:32 |
| likemindead | I've installed Xubuntu on several systems, old (PII) and new (dual-core), and never had any troubles. | 22:33 |
| likemindead | :-\ | 22:33 |
| z00q | When I try to install from the cd after a reboot, I get this message whiles it is loading drivers and after about a 10 wait.... | 22:35 |
| likemindead | Ever heard of antiX, z00q? It's solid. | 22:35 |
| likemindead | Small & fast. Debian-based. | 22:35 |
| z00q | udevd_even[2518]:'path_id/devices/i8042/serio4/input5/mouse2' abnormal exit then it seg faults. | 22:36 |
| likemindead | Weird... | 22:36 |
| likemindead | I'm really sorry, z00q. That sucks. | 22:36 |
| z00q | is antix nly a live cd version? | 22:42 |
| krucks | perdonen mi ignorancia pero como instalo xfce en ubuntu hardy | 23:04 |
| z00q | Well, I got it to install along side windows, but it just hangs while loading the drivers.... | 23:16 |
| z00q | One problem down... | 23:18 |
| z00q | Several more to go. | 23:19 |
| Serraphyn | You guys recommend a gui Network browser for mounting samaba shares? My kids don't like CLI :( | 23:19 |
| cody-somerville | Serraphyn, what version of Xubuntu do you have? | 23:19 |
| Serraphyn | 9.04 | 23:19 |
| cody-somerville | Applications > System > Remote Filesystems doesn't work for you? | 23:20 |
| Serraphyn | rofl, sorry never seen that before I'm used to use mount -t smbfs for stuff ;) | 23:20 |
| Serraphyn | cody-somerville, thanks | 23:22 |
| cody-somerville | There is also PyNeighborhood among other apps | 23:22 |
| z00q | Once I have installed xubuntu with windows, are there any additional steps I need to take? | 23:32 |
| SiDi | uninstall windows | 23:33 |
| SiDi | (if you installed windows first and xubuntu second, then no, everything should be ok) | 23:33 |
| z00q | Heh heh. That is the goal eventually, however I am experiencing a huge amount of trouble trying to get this distro installed. | 23:33 |
| z00q | I had to resort to installing it within windows. | 23:34 |
| Sysi | with wubi you get very surely problems | 23:34 |
| z00q | But I don't see a launcher. Although it does show up in the add/remove software.... | 23:35 |
| z00q | Sysi, I have tried installing from the cd but it hangs when its loading drivers and then eventually seg faults. | 23:36 |
| longtime | hello! | 23:37 |
| z00q | HI | 23:38 |
| z00q | bbiab | 23:38 |
| longtime | I was wondering how I would check to see, with the xubuntu command line, how much RAM my system is acknowledging. I installed two sticks just now that I thought were 256mb a piece. But when I go into my system bios at startup, it only registers each stick at 64mb a piece. | 23:40 |
| longtime | Should I just trust my bios? | 23:41 |
