| artistxe | I am just about through with xubuntu . | 04:45 |
| artistxe | it seems that I may as well have chosen gnome for my wm . it has loaded all the dependencies anyway | 04:46 |
| _Techie_ | whats wrong with xfce4? | 04:52 |
| artistxe | uh. nothing wrong with xfce at all. | 05:01 |
| artistxe | _Techie_, it just does not support everything that I wish it would | 05:02 |
| _Techie_ | such as? | 05:02 |
| artistxe | well. first of all . a launcher such as gnome-do | 05:02 |
| artistxe | alt-F2 does not seem to cut it for me. | 05:03 |
| _Techie_ | fair enough | 05:04 |
| artistxe | also. there are quite a few gnome specific applications I like to use. thank jesus I do not use and kde krap | 05:04 |
| artistxe | thinking about going slackware direction. maybe even gentoo | 05:05 |
| _Techie_ | gnome apps should work in xfce | 05:05 |
| artistxe | they do. using gnome dependencies | 05:06 |
| artistxe | which (can) slow things down | 05:06 |
| _Techie_ | brb just gonna check the config of my BNC | 05:08 |
| __Techie__ | odd, _Techie_ should be set as away | 05:09 |
| _Techie_ | is there anyway to have the whole of my trackpad scroll when a button is held? | 05:38 |
| alyoko | good morning | 08:40 |
| alyoko | hello? | 08:43 |
| Balsaq | what gives | 08:47 |
| Balsaq | all those names to the right are really just a figment of yur imagination there alyoko they fix computers silently using transcendental meditation, old school! | 08:49 |
| alyoko | hahaha....... can they fix my POS? | 08:54 |
| alyoko | I'm lost.... in WAY over my head | 08:54 |
| alyoko | I've installed xubuntu on an old machine, now it hangs at a black screen asking for "ubuntu login" which i never made one | 08:58 |
| ablomen | alyoko, its the username and password you entered during instalation | 09:02 |
| ablomen | did the screen flicker a few times before showing you the black screen btw? | 09:02 |
| alyoko | im a noob, this is gonna take a while i'm sure | 09:04 |
| alyoko | it ran through a bunch of checks and shows [ ok ] then shows Ubuntu 9.04 tty1 | 09:05 |
| alyoko | it seems like it dosent matter what i type in as it is looking for a "ubuntu login" which i never made one yet | 09:07 |
| ablomen | alyoko, there was a new username and password prompt while installing xubuntu, it doesnt let you leave it blank so you must have typed in something | 09:11 |
| alyoko | i'm sure your right however, i ONLY filled in one line for the name of the computer | 09:12 |
| ablomen | hmm then something went wrong with installing | 09:13 |
| feesh | what gives :|, I can't find xfce4-systray | 09:13 |
| ablomen | which cd image did you download? did you get a graphical user interface or was the installer blue and white and nothing graphical what so ever? (normal cd or alternate cd) | 09:14 |
| feesh | running 64bit xubuntu and everythings going fine cept I have no systray | 09:14 |
| alyoko | oh thats a good question | 09:14 |
| ablomen | and what are the specs on the computer (as in, defign old) | 09:15 |
| alyoko | its a dynabook from japan the specs are........ | 09:16 |
| alyoko | hrmmmm intel celeron 650Mhrz | 09:19 |
| ablomen | how mutch ram? | 09:19 |
| alyoko | 64? | 09:19 |
| alyoko | 20Gb HD | 09:20 |
| ablomen | ok.. im not sure how good xubuntu is going to run (64mb is just very litle memmory) but to get it working download the alternate cd image | 09:21 |
| ablomen | the normal one requires at least something like 196mb or something like that | 09:21 |
| ablomen | thats where it might have gone wrong | 09:22 |
| alyoko | but now it wont let me access the cdrom | 09:22 |
| alyoko | how can i format over what i have now? | 09:22 |
| ablomen | alyoko, shut it down first, then while booting open the cd tray, and for the formatting, let the installer handle that, while installing you get the option "use whole disk" or somthing along those lines, should be fine | 09:24 |
| alyoko | ok | 09:24 |
| _Techie_ | alley oop | 09:27 |
| alyoko | i have a live feed showing what is on the screen | 09:27 |
| _Techie_ | "all those names to the right are really just a figment of yur imagination there alyoko they fix computers silently using transcendental meditation, old school!" very nice Balsaq | 09:28 |
| alyoko | yes i checked my download, it was the alternate xubuntu 9.04 i386 | 09:32 |
| alyoko | its stuck at the login, i have no idea what to do?!?!?! | 09:33 |
| ablomen | alyoko, hmm there should be an option in the cd boot menu called "check cd integrity" or something like that, see if there went something wrong with the burning | 09:35 |
| alyoko | the cd is in and re-started | 09:38 |
| alyoko | it automatically boots from hard drive and ignores the cd rom | 09:38 |
| ablomen | it will take some time btw, so i suggest you watch a movie or something ;) | 09:39 |
| alyoko | oh i remember THAT part | 09:39 |
| alyoko | no change! dosent do anything different, i can show a live feed if that will help | 09:40 |
| alyoko | or at least format this so i can start over with a smaller one like Deli which is designed for 64MB ram systems | 09:42 |
| ablomen | alyoko, all linux installers should have an option to format the disk, dont have to wory about that | 09:43 |
| alyoko | but right now i can't access the CD-ROM, it spins but seems to be ignored | 09:45 |
| alyoko | am i able to post a web site here or will it be blocked? | 09:47 |
| ablomen | sure, if its on the subject, go right ahead | 09:49 |
| alyoko | it just shows my computers screen | 09:49 |
| alyoko | http://www.blogtv.com/People/alyoko03 | 09:49 |
| alyoko | when i re-start the computer wtih the cd in, it is ignored and boots from the DH | 09:53 |
| alyoko | so i just made a new image of deli, its supose to wrok with computers with 64MB of ram | 09:56 |
| alyoko | im gonna load it and see if anything happens | 09:56 |
| alyoko | at the "gurb" how can i format the HD? | 10:00 |
| ablomen | no grub is the bootloader | 10:05 |
| ablomen | booting from cd still didnt work | 10:05 |
| alyoko | no | 10:08 |
| alyoko | i think i jsut want to format and start over | 10:08 |
| alyoko | i dont know how | 10:09 |
| premorphos | my sound output is "lagging" afer i removed pulse and i cant figure out what i did wrong. any one got a clue on how i may fix it | 10:59 |
| tavoton | a alguien mas le ha dejado K.O. el xubuntu una actualizacion hoy mismo ? | 11:34 |

| denmark | hello all | 17:42 |
| denmark | where i can find help in xubuntu os | 17:42 |
| Sysi | ask :) | 17:43 |
| genii | denmark: Right here. | 17:43 |
| Sysi | or google | 17:43 |
| genii | !ask | 17:43 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 17:43 |
| likemindead | denmark, www.ubuntuforums.org as well as https://help.ubuntu.com/ as well as many independent blogs, wikis, etc. | 17:46 |
| denmark | yup i know but in a chm file like ubuntu | 17:47 |
| denmark | :) | 17:48 |
| denmark | i cant find any help file in under xubuntu ; | 17:48 |
| _Pete_ | denmark: man -k <keyword> | 17:49 |
| _Pete_ | might help | 17:49 |
| denmark | ok lemme see | 17:50 |
| denmark | :) | 17:50 |
| Sysi | there was button in bar but first thing i did was removing it | 17:50 |
| Sysi | in menu it is still | 17:50 |
| Sysi | hmm, i wonder if it's help in english | 17:51 |
| Pres-Gas | denmark, are you needing help with something specific? | 17:54 |
| denmark | @above i try it but the problem is simple my firefox not working thats why i can't see help in browser | 17:55 |
| denmark | yup i am downloading lynx tar balls | 17:56 |
| denmark | but the problem is this can i install it via give method | 17:56 |
| denmark | like ./configure | 17:56 |
| denmark | or sudo ./configure | 17:56 |
| Pres-Gas | denmark, well (x)ubuntu has lynx as a package that you can install with "sudo aptitude install lynx" http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=lynx | 17:58 |
| denmark | lol i didn't know that how to install from tarballs in ubuntu | 17:58 |
| denmark | in other distro i simply use ./congigure | 17:58 |
| denmark | typo:./configure | 17:59 |
| Pres-Gas | denmark, you will also need to at least install the "build-essentials" package. | 17:59 |
| denmark | build-essential it for install from tarballs ! | 18:00 |
| likemindead | "sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall" denmark | 18:00 |
| likemindead | Then make sure your dependencies are covered. | 18:00 |
| likemindead | Then go for it! | 18:00 |
| denmark | ok so from this i can install software via tarballs ? | 18:01 |
| Pres-Gas | denmark, yes...then you could do the "./configure; make; sudo make install" process | 18:03 |
| denmark | :D | 18:03 |
| denmark | superb | 18:03 |
| Pres-Gas | Indeed | 18:03 |
| denmark | i can also complie cpp programs :D | 18:04 |
| Pres-Gas | BUT, denmark, there already is a package provided...so you don't necessarily have to install from source | 18:04 |
| denmark | ok if i didn't get then i install from tarballs | 18:04 |
| Pres-Gas | http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 18:04 |
| denmark | ok i bookmark this webpage :) | 18:05 |
| denmark | in future i get the packges from here | 18:05 |
| Pres-Gas | denmark, you can also issue "aptitude search blah" from the terminal | 18:05 |
| denmark | :) | 18:05 |
| denmark | thanks alot | 18:05 |
| denmark | awesome | 18:05 |
| Pres-Gas | It will list all packages available and even show if you have them installed already or not | 18:05 |
| Pres-Gas | We try our level best | 18:06 |
| denmark | yo | 18:31 |
| denmark | any body here ? | 18:31 |

| Sysi | why btw not wine? | 18:38 |
| denmark | hmm hat is the differnce between wine and crossover > | 18:38 |
| denmark | i think both are same :) | 18:38 |
| Sysi | is crossover free? | 18:39 |
| denmark | no :( | 18:40 |
| denmark | but wine is free :) | 18:41 |
| denmark | so why ppl use crossover ? | 18:41 |
| denmark | why not they use wine ? | 18:41 |
| Sysi | if i remember right, crossover is based on some old wine | 18:41 |
| denmark | lol i dunno | 18:41 |
| Sysi | i don't know people using crossover | 18:42 |
| denmark | but i can't use wine :( | 18:42 |

| denmark | why crossover if there is wine ? | 18:45 |
| denmark | i can't figureout what is the main difference in both ? | 18:46 |
| Sysi | crossover is like old, but ready configured wine | 18:47 |
| Sysi | some games work well, others beter with winr after configuring | 18:47 |
| denmark | ok lemme download wine | 18:48 |

| mhall119|work | is Xubuntu 9.10 going to use the new GDM? | 19:20 |
| Pres-Gas | likemindead, did the apport (bug report section) come up when it dumped core? | 19:21 |
| Pres-Gas | mhall119|work, yes it is | 19:21 |
| mhall119|work | how hard is that to customize? | 19:22 |
| mhall119|work | is there any way to support old-style themes? | 19:22 |
| Pres-Gas | mhall119|work, no old style themes.... | 19:22 |
| mhall119|work | :( | 19:22 |
| likemindead | Negative, Pres-Gas. | 19:23 |

| charding | Left clicking the Orange clock doesn't pop up my calendar anymore.. Anyone have a reason why? | 19:55 |

| alyoko | ubuntu asks for a login and password but i never set one up, black screen no GUI | 22:16 |
| alyoko | how do i get it to boot from CDROM to erase and start over? | 22:16 |
| === mhall119|work is now known as mhall119|school | ||
| alyoko | have ubuntu on an OLDER laptop 650Mhz 64 ram and 20gb HD - stuck at login, never made a login or password | 22:20 |
| Sysi | not enough ram i guess | 22:20 |
| Sysi | i'm sorry but i need to go to bed, got to get up early | 22:21 |
| alyoko | how do i boot from CDROM | 22:22 |
| likemindead | alyoko, that is not enough RAM to run any graphical version of Ubuntu. | 22:28 |
| likemindead | See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements | 22:30 |
| likemindead | Buy more RAM. It's cheap. :-) | 22:30 |
| alyoko | oh no doubt it is but that still dosent help me in THIS situation | 22:31 |
| TheSheep | you can try pressing esc at boot and booting into recovery mode | 22:32 |
| TheSheep | then changing the password from there | 22:32 |
| likemindead | Are you sure it is installed to your hdd? I don't know how it could be without you entering a username and password. | 22:32 |
| alyoko | still in recovery mode runs the grub, stuck at the same screen | 22:32 |
| TheSheep | oh, so it failed to boot | 22:32 |
| alyoko | i have a live feed at blogtv to show where it is stuck | 22:33 |
| alyoko | im new to linux and need to format over this to try again | 22:33 |
| TheSheep | the best you can do with those specs is a text-only system anyways | 22:33 |
| TheSheep | at least with ubuntu | 22:34 |
| TheSheep | you may try puppylinux or damn small linux | 22:34 |
| TheSheep | they have lower requirements | 22:34 |
| alyoko | deli is designed for 64MB machines | 22:34 |
| TheSheep | what is deli? | 22:34 |
| alyoko | but im stuck, it wont read the CDROM to format the HD again | 22:34 |
| alyoko | deli is another distrib of linux | 22:35 |
| alyoko | for 32 - 64 ram machines i found but cant install as im stuck on the login for Xubuntu 9.04 | 22:36 |
| alyoko | if i could boot from cdrom then DBAM could wipe the drive clean and start over | 22:37 |
| alyoko | http://www.blogtv.com/People/alyoko03 is my live feed of the screen where im stuck | 22:38 |
| alyoko | the machine is an OLD one from japan, it orginally had windows ME in japanese but was corrupted | 22:39 |
| alyoko | hard enough fixing Me .....but in japanese is a real REAL challange | 22:39 |
| TheSheep | alyoko: well, how did you originally booted a cd? | 22:39 |
| TheSheep | how did you boot | 22:39 |
| alyoko | first, formated the HD (20GB) then used Xubuntu 9.04 alternate cd (iso) | 22:40 |
| TheSheep | so it booted from cd just fine? | 22:41 |
| TheSheep | it should boot just the same now | 22:41 |
| TheSheep | make sure it's set to boot from cd in bios | 22:41 |
| alyoko | to start yes, now the grub??? goes to hd | 22:41 |
| TheSheep | well, set it to boot from cd first in bios | 22:42 |
| TheSheep | you should be able to get into bios setting by pressing del or f2 or something like that at boot | 22:42 |
| TheSheep | it should tell you | 22:42 |
| alyoko | thats a little hard to do too, the BIOS i believe is software, not flash | 22:44 |
| alyoko | toshiba dynabook, from japan | 22:44 |
| TheSheep | madness | 22:44 |
| alyoko | sheer madness | 22:45 |
| TheSheep | http://www.tipidpc.com/viewtopic.php?tid=84680 | 22:45 |
| alyoko | yeah, been trying | 22:46 |
| * TheSheep wonders what language is that | 22:47 | |
| alyoko | on that page....i thing it tagalog | 22:49 |
| alyoko | think | 22:49 |
| alyoko | philipino | 22:49 |
| TheSheep | cute | 22:49 |
| alyoko | all i get when i enter the bios is "check system. then press [F1] key" | 22:50 |
| alyoko | dosent seem like i can make changes | 22:50 |
| TheSheep | :/ | 22:51 |
| TheSheep | and holding 'c' doesn't make it boot from cd? | 22:52 |
| alyoko | i dont have a terminal? | 22:56 |

| _Techie_ | alyoko- enter the BIOS menu and change the boot device to cdrom | 23:34 |
| _Techie_ | alyoko- press DEL at boot, if that doesnt work it may be F2 or F10 | 23:35 |
| likemindead | Or F1 | 23:35 |
| alyoko | changing boot device order is a softwear app in windows | 23:37 |
| likemindead | No, it isn't. | 23:37 |
| likemindead | It has nothing to do with your operating system. | 23:37 |
| alyoko | i agree, on THIS machine, in japanese, it was | 23:38 |
| likemindead | Beyond me then... | 23:38 |
