| t-zOmbie | hey guys I have an issue loading up Xubuntu. It takes so long for it all to load. when I boot it up, xuquity crashes at least I believe that's the name of it | 00:33 |
|---|---|---|
| t-zOmbie | I'm running from a live CD. I have 256 MB DDR SDRam, 40GB hdd, and a 2.70Ghz processor. in order to boot up the live cd I had to add: -- apci=off vga=771 | 00:35 |
| __Techie__ | umm, i dont think you have enough memory for the live cd | 00:37 |
| t-zOmbie | __Techie__ according to the page it says 192 would work but 256 would be ideal as per: http://www.xubuntu.org/get#jaunty | 00:39 |
| t-zOmbie | how do I check? | 00:39 |
| __Techie__ | odd, i must have been thinking of ubuntu | 00:40 |
| xoanan | Hi all | 01:37 |
| xoanan | I had Karmic beta and kept running into system issues with the upgrade and I wound up having to reinstall the OS | 01:38 |
| xoanan | I am now running 8.04 Hardy; | 01:38 |
| xoanan | Having a few issues with that too. It seems that from time to time, the system just freezes | 01:38 |
| xoanan | The caps lock and scroll lock on my keyboard flash and the mouse does not respond. | 01:39 |
| genii | capslock/scroll-lock/numlock keys all flashing together = kernel panic | 01:59 |
| live4themusic | does anyone know how i can add linux distribution sets in xubuntu? | 04:48 |
| likemindead | "Sets" ? | 04:49 |
| live4themusic | packages maybe? | 04:49 |
| likemindead | !synaptic | 04:49 |
| ubottu | synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 04:49 |
| live4themusic | ah thank you | 04:52 |
| live4themusic | i need the x.org development package | 04:52 |
| live4themusic | not distribution set | 04:52 |
| live4themusic | thanks | 04:52 |
| likemindead | It should be in there. | 04:53 |
| live4themusic | would synaptic already be in my system somewhere or can i add it by going to Add/Remove right under applications? | 04:53 |
| pleia2 | it's under system > synaptic package manager | 04:54 |
| likemindead | "To launch Synaptic, choose System > Synaptic Package Manager." | 04:54 |
| live4themusic | ok thank you so much | 04:54 |
| likemindead | Read the previous link, live4themusic. | 04:55 |
| ms9477 | Anyone here that might be able to assist with a problem I'm having with partition mounting in Karmic? | 05:48 |
| ocs | hi. I have a mini-pc with a flash storage disk. It has not a hard disk, nor a cd/dvd reader. Can you suggest me a good way to install ubuntu in its flash memory? | 15:11 |
| Sysi | usb-stick | 15:12 |
| likemindead | ocs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 15:14 |
| ocs | than ks | 15:15 |
| likemindead | I like UNetbootin, personally. | 15:15 |
| Sysi | i use that also, on windows | 15:18 |

| AncientSocrates | hi | 15:40 |
| likemindead | !hi | AncientSocrates | 15:41 |
| ubottu | AncientSocrates: Hi! 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! | 15:41 |
| AncientSocrates | i would like to ask is xubuntu 9.10 beta faster than the stable? and my 2nd question: i have a pc with no internet access, could i update it from the beta to the stable 9.10 by moving some downloaded files with a usb stick? | 15:41 |
| likemindead | !beta | 15:42 |
| ubottu | If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Karmic. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. | 15:42 |
| likemindead | !karmic | 15:42 |
| ubottu | Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic is BETA and MAY break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 15:42 |
| likemindead | !liveusb | 15:42 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about liveusb | 15:42 |
| likemindead | !usb | 15:42 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 15:42 |
| AncientSocrates | ok | 15:44 |
| AncientSocrates | can i upgrade the system | 15:44 |
| AncientSocrates | by moving files with a usb stick to it? | 15:44 |
| likemindead | Well, anything is possible in Linux, but I'm not sure how you'd do that. | 15:45 |
| likemindead | !aptoncd | 15:45 |
| ubottu | APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 15:45 |
| likemindead | !offline | 15:45 |
| ubottu | If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD | 15:45 |
| AncientSocrates | oh so i can do the last thing | 15:45 |
| AncientSocrates | but the thing is | 15:46 |
| AncientSocrates | how would i know which files does the system want to be upgraded to the stable? | 15:46 |
| likemindead | Good question. | 15:46 |
| AncientSocrates | i could use the 9.04 on that pc | 15:49 |
| AncientSocrates | but if i wanted to upgrade to 9.10 it would be the same problem | 15:49 |
| AncientSocrates | would have to download 9.10 from the site | 15:49 |
| AncientSocrates | i think using the beta is better than using 9.04, cause there no real bugs | 15:50 |
| AncientSocrates | in most things | 15:50 |
| likemindead | I'm loving it. Been using 9.10 since Alpha 6. :-) | 15:50 |
| AncientSocrates | cool | 15:50 |
| AncientSocrates | could i just download all the new files | 15:51 |
| AncientSocrates | from lets say the release of the beta | 15:51 |
| AncientSocrates | till the stable? | 15:51 |
| AncientSocrates | and create a package script | 15:51 |
| likemindead | I'm not sure how you'd do that, but like I said, nearly anything's possible in Linux. | 15:51 |
| TheSheep | !apt-zip | 15:54 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-zip | 15:54 |
| likemindead | Bot FAIL. :-\ | 15:55 |

| AncientSocrates | i have another one | 16:13 |
| AncientSocrates | i have 2 pcs | 16:13 |
| AncientSocrates | 1 xp installed and net access | 16:13 |
| AncientSocrates | 2 xubuntu not net access | 16:13 |
| AncientSocrates | i have an ethernet cable | 16:14 |
| AncientSocrates | how could a make the 2nd pc gain access to the net? | 16:14 |
| Pres-Gas | AncientSocrates, so let us get this straight...does the xp box have 2 ethernet cards then? | 16:15 |
| AncientSocrates | no the xp box is a laptop with wifi | 16:15 |
| AncientSocrates | i use the wifi | 16:15 |
| Pres-Gas | AncientSocrates, the xubu box is a desktop? You have access to the wireless router that the xp box connects to? | 16:16 |
| AncientSocrates | yes | 16:17 |
| AncientSocrates | the xu is a desktop doesnt have wifi card | 16:17 |
| AncientSocrates | and the router is not reachable | 16:17 |
| AncientSocrates | without movin the pc | 16:18 |
| _Pete_ | buy longer cable? | 16:18 |
| Pres-Gas | Move the pc | 16:18 |
| AncientSocrates | this is the physical solution | 16:18 |
| AncientSocrates | i was thinking of seting up a network | 16:18 |
| AncientSocrates | between the xp laptop with internet access and the desktop xubuntu | 16:19 |
| AncientSocrates | so they would share the internet | 16:19 |
| _Pete_ | before setup, you must think best topology for the net | 16:19 |
| AncientSocrates | true | 16:19 |
| _Pete_ | after that get needed cables etc. | 16:19 |
| AncientSocrates | how would i setup a net? | 16:20 |
| AncientSocrates | using samba? | 16:20 |
| AncientSocrates | or what | 16:20 |
| _Pete_ | for filesharing between win<->linux that's easiest | 16:22 |
| AncientSocrates | i want the xu box to have access to the net so i could update some packages | 16:22 |
| obiwan_ | nasssssssss tiossssssssssssss | 16:23 |
| obiwan_ | sry wrong channel :P | 16:23 |
| _Pete_ | easiest what I know is to get switchbox | 16:23 |
| _Pete_ | connect all to that and also your uploadlink | 16:23 |
| AncientSocrates | what is this | 16:24 |
| AncientSocrates | switch you mean? | 16:24 |
| _Pete_ | yes | 16:24 |
| AncientSocrates | after i use the switch do i have to configure anything? | 16:24 |
| AncientSocrates | and also the ethernet has to be straight or reversed | 16:24 |
| _Pete_ | straight | 16:25 |
| AncientSocrates | would i have to configure | 16:25 |
| AncientSocrates | xp or xu? | 16:25 |
| _Pete_ | what kind of internet connection your pc->inet have ? | 16:25 |
| AncientSocrates | wireless | 16:25 |
| _Pete_ | hmm | 16:25 |
| _Pete_ | after switch | 16:25 |
| _Pete_ | when the all computers are connected to each other | 16:26 |
| AncientSocrates | xp box has wifi | 16:26 |
| _Pete_ | put XP share the internet connection | 16:26 |
| _Pete_ | and then put all other use that as gateway | 16:26 |
| AncientSocrates | oh | 16:26 |
| AncientSocrates | how do i make xu | 16:27 |
| AncientSocrates | see xp box as a gateway | 16:27 |
| AncientSocrates | i forgot to mention | 16:27 |
| _Pete_ | when you share a connection in win, if I remember correctly it makes particular interface also listen (and forward) ip like 192.x.x.x | 16:28 |
| AncientSocrates | i have a router (which i bought for adsl) with many ethernet holes | 16:28 |
| AncientSocrates | could i use that somehow? | 16:28 |
| AncientSocrates | insted of swich | 16:28 |
| AncientSocrates | switch | 16:28 |
| _Pete_ | then for other computer put that 192.x.x.x gateway | 16:28 |
| _Pete_ | AncientSocrates: I guess so | 16:30 |
| _Pete_ | adsl-modems with "holes" usually acts like switches | 16:31 |
| Pres-Gas | Okay, this pryorda keeps wanting to sent me some crap...anyone else getting that? | 17:56 |
| likemindead | Negative, thankfully. | 17:58 |
| _Pete_ | Pres-Gas: yes, 19:54 [freenode] DCC SEND from pryorda [0.0.0.0 port 0]: irc.hackerthreads.org#hackerthreads [0B bytes] requested in channel #xubuntu | 18:00 |
| TheSheep | 18:55 -!- pryorda [n=horm@ip-134-53-244-33.dhcp.muohio.edu] has quit [K-lined] | 18:00 |
| nalioth | _Pete_: taken care of | 18:01 |
| _Pete_ | nalioth: thanks | 18:01 |
| Pres-Gas | Yea, nalioth! | 18:01 |
| likemindead | I did send him some money to Nigeria, though. | 18:01 |
| * likemindead can't wait for his millions to arrive. :D | 18:01 | |
| squidly | oh he was doing the chan lol | 18:02 |
| _Pete_ | :D | 18:02 |
| Pres-Gas | Seems so, squidly...now I will commence taking a shower to wash the filth off. ;) | 18:02 |
| squidly | heh | 18:02 |
| squidly | he was comeing after me | 18:02 |
| squidly | I /ignored him in another chan and he got upset | 18:03 |
| TheSheep | ok, cool, problem solved, lets get back to sitting in silence ;) | 18:04 |
| squidly | :D | 18:05 |
| Pres-Gas | Well, I just don't want to be offtopic. | 18:36 |
| likemindead | Meh? | 18:37 |
| Pres-Gas | Sitting in silence. I mean, I do have a day job, as I suspect we all do....but I also don't want to be considered offtopic with some of my ramblings. | 18:38 |
| likemindead | Fair enough. | 18:41 |
| Pres-Gas | Hmmm...now how to get byobu to show the partition I want's disk stats.... | 18:46 |
| likemindead | Yikes... 12 hours to copy my music collection to my laptop via usb hdd? D: | 18:47 |
| Pres-Gas | Ummm...how much data are we talking about , likemindead | 18:48 |
| likemindead | I measly 38GB ... | 18:48 |
| Pres-Gas | Yeah, that is pretty unacceptible | 18:49 |
| likemindead | It's on old PIII laptop (1000MHz / 1GB DDR / 80GB hdd) running Xubuntu 9.10 & the external hdd is a 500GB Western Digital. | 18:49 |
| Pres-Gas | PIII? Are you sure you are not using USB 1 instead of 2? | 18:50 |
| likemindead | Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. It's an old laptop with only one USB port. | 18:50 |
| likemindead | What else can I do, though? | 18:50 |
| likemindead | :-\ | 18:50 |
| likemindead | According to Wikipedia, USB 2.0 dropped in April 2000. My laptop (a Dell) was made in 2002, so it should be 2.0, don't you think? | 18:52 |
| Pres-Gas | Not necessarily...it may have dropped as a standard, but got picked up much later... | 18:56 |
| Pres-Gas | I mean...USB 3 has been out since 2007 and I don't really see anyone using it yet | 18:57 |
| _Pete_ | yeah I think usb(2) is tad slow | 18:58 |
| _Pete_ | when trying to backup something takes ages | 18:58 |
| Pres-Gas | Well, Firewire is really the better standard for hot swappable disks of this nature....unless you have some external sata port or something special like that. | 18:59 |
| * _Pete_ thinks everything below my 4*sata raid0 is slow | 19:00 | |
| Pres-Gas | Ahhh...you know, it would help if I actually CLOSELY read the byobu man page...I would have answered my own question about monitoring another disk besides default | 19:25 |
| * Pres-Gas blushes | 19:26 | |
| SML1226 | Can somebody tell me how to edit the name of the hard drive on my desktop? | 20:25 |
| likemindead | Use the partition editor, SML1226. | 20:32 |
| SML1226 | likemindead Will that work when it's the hard drive with Xubuntu on it? | 20:33 |
| Pres-Gas | SML1226, can you clarify a bit. You mean the name of the Hard Drive on the actual desktop...what you are seeing, right? | 20:34 |
| SML1226 | Right | 20:34 |
| Pres-Gas | What is it named now? | 20:34 |
| likemindead | As I understand it, Linux doesn't care what you 'name' your hard drive. It sees your hard drive as /dev/sda1 etc. | 20:34 |
| SML1226 | "38G Volume" is the current name | 20:35 |
| SML1226 | I'm currently running Xubuntu off a USB hard drive | 20:35 |
| likemindead | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DrivesAndPartitions | 20:37 |
| Pres-Gas | SML1226, are you a Mac convert, by any chance (I am too, so it is not a mocking question)? | 20:38 |
| SML1226 | No, I'm a Vista convert. Actually I've been using the Windows 7 RC and this both for awhile after Vista gave me troubles | 20:39 |
| likemindead | The above link sort you out, SML1226? | 20:39 |
| SML1226 | It looks like it will eventually, not sure if I'll have to do it through terminal or not yet | 20:40 |
| SML1226 | I think with it being the one I'm using, I'll have to do it with a live cd | 20:44 |
| obiwan_ | nasss tios | 20:53 |
| obiwan_ | buah no se pq nadie ha tocao el router este finde , y ahora me conecto, me deja entrar al webgui pero no funcionaba, estaba puesto en el webgui un server dns no se pq seria, pero weno he reiniciao (bendita solucion facil xd) y ya va | 20:54 |
| obiwan_ | sryyyyyyyy | 20:54 |
| obiwan_ | sryyyyyyyyyyyy wrong channel :/ | 20:54 |
| obiwan_ | i thought i was in the spanish one :S | 20:54 |
| SML1226 | Any ideas why Xubuntu is not recognizing my internal drive as a drive? It seems to think that "Filesystem" is the same as that drive | 20:55 |
| obiwan_ | what does mount say? | 20:55 |
| obiwan_ | or fdisk | 20:55 |
| SML1226 | mount gave me this http://paste.ubuntu.com/291843/ | 20:57 |
| obiwan_ | wow it looks a little strange , cause you got / on sdb and sda looks like the external disk | 21:01 |
| obiwan_ | is your disk formatted? has it data in it? | 21:02 |
| SML1226 | sda is internal and Xubuntu is sdb on the external drive | 21:02 |
| SML1226 | Both disks are formatted, sda in NTFS, and sdb in ext4 and swap | 21:03 |
| pozican | in #debian | 21:03 |
| * Pres-Gas showers again | 21:08 | |
| obiwan_ | ahh ok ok | 21:10 |
| obiwan_ | i get it | 21:10 |
| obiwan_ | hmmm, is the first time you boot that disk? | 21:11 |
| obiwan_ | xubuntu | 21:11 |
| obiwan_ | may be bad installed | 21:11 |
| SML1226 | No, I've booted at least 5 times since the install | 21:12 |
| SML1226 | Still could be a bad install I guess | 21:12 |
| obiwan_ | hmm | 21:14 |
| obiwan_ | don't know :/ | 21:14 |
| obiwan_ | maybe a fsck could help | 21:15 |
| obiwan_ | but i don't know how to make it, maybe fsck /dev/sdb | 21:15 |
| SML1226 | "WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage" | 21:17 |
| SML1226 | so are you saying do it to the Xubuntu drive or the other one? | 21:17 |
| obiwan_ | hmm i don't know, but fsck is supposed to check the filesystem in a drive for errors | 21:22 |
| obiwan_ | what filesystem is your drive? | 21:23 |
| obiwan_ | ext3? | 21:23 |
| SML1226 | ext4 | 21:24 |
| obiwan_ | brb 1 mom | 21:24 |
| obiwan_ | do the following | 21:26 |
| obiwan_ | sudo umount -f /dev/sdb | 21:26 |
| obiwan_ | sudo fsck.ext4 /dev/sdb | 21:26 |
| SML1226 | I can't unmount it, I'm running it. I guess I need to find my live cd and do this on that | 21:27 |
| SML1226 | I might just wait for the 9.10 release | 21:29 |
| SML1226 | See if that fixes all these little problems I'm having | 21:30 |
| SML1226 | weird, Thunar can't seem to find it, but Nautilus has no problem finding it | 21:34 |
| obiwan_ | ok | 21:41 |
| obiwan_ | but anyway umount -f umounts it, the f is for force | 21:41 |
| obiwan_ | it forces umount, just make sure you sudo it | 21:41 |
| SML1226 | Alright, I'm essentially running Ubuntu now, but that problem is gone | 21:44 |
| chrissy | hello i am trying to see my toolbar at top and bottom what do i do | 22:26 |
| likemindead | >________< | 22:40 |
| SML1226 | Where can I get an mp3 codec? I have not been able to find much of anything so far | 22:46 |
| SML1226 | nevermind, I finally found it | 22:49 |
| nikolam | hi. | 23:18 |
