Balsaqwhew i hope not, that means others can do what i did06:23
Balsaqbut why did it let me on without by dalgarned pword...06:24
psycho_oreosyou must either have saved the password somewhere or you didn't apply the security setup06:24
Balsaqsaved password? not to my knowledge...and didn't see the chance to do a security set up-did the original install with verizon and have a password is all i know06:25
Balsaqand it shows online as secure06:26
Balsaqwhen my wife comes home she has to use the password every time on the lapper06:26
Balsaqyou see, i did not feel like running to my basement to get the numbers so i fiddles around and BANG i was on06:27

[BadStart]Hello to everyone09:08
[BadStart]I'm a Debian user and yesterday I saw XUbuntu and I decided to try it but I encoutered a very strange boot situation. First: The CD boots but when I wish to try or install, the boot process hungs; Trying again I disabled the splash screen and the quiet mode and I saw a lot of error just before drivers were loaded (a lot of "tainted")09:12
[BadStart]Unluckily I've not the detailed log now but any suggestions will be appreciated09:13
Balsaqwow it slid right in for me....no clue....what kind of computer-specs09:15
[BadStart]Compaq Armada M700 256Mb RAM09:16
Balsaqoldie but a goodie huh09:16
Balsaqmaybe a bad disc?09:16
[BadStart]yes, it's old but... Debian works :)09:16
Balsaqdid you make it or order it?(the xubu disc)09:16
[BadStart]I did it but it works well booted on a VirtualBox of my office PC09:17
Balsaqhmmm...so it aint the puter and it aint the cd09:17
[BadStart]It seems something hardware related09:17
Balsaqbut debian works on it you say09:18
[BadStart]yes09:18
[BadStart]I have the latest stable (lenny)09:18
Balsaqdid you attempt a clean install09:19
[BadStart]But surely it works with an older kernel09:19
[BadStart]What do you mean with "clean install"?09:19
[BadStart]I tried to boot in "live mode" but it hungs anyway... :(09:20
Balsaqso it didnt even get to that option09:20
Balsaqhmmm..over my head i guess09:21
[BadStart]In very first time, I saw errors about ACPI driver (tainted) so I tried "acpi=off"...09:21
[BadStart]But similar erros appeared on comm and many other drivers :(09:22
Balsaqdid you try the xubu disc in any other machine09:22
[BadStart]today evening I will try again... there is a way to save what the console shows?09:23
Balsaqdont know09:23
Balsaqif all is well with debian and you dont get errors id try that disc in another computer and see what happens09:24
[BadStart]thank you Balsaq, I will try later...09:25
[BadStart]But I've checked the MD5 sums when I did it09:25
[BadStart]but I will try on my VirtualBox09:25
Balsaqwish i could help i did mine off a cd that i ordered...ididnt burn it myself and it was easier to install than XP09:25
Balsaqdid you create the cd yourself?09:26
[BadStart]I downloaded the iso09:26
[BadStart]and burned it09:26
[BadStart]yes09:26
Balsaqi have only tried off a pro made cd so that is why i asked and it really went in fast and easy09:27
[BadStart]the iso certainly works (I tried under my VirtualBox)09:27
Balsaqok09:27
[BadStart]I will try the cd later09:27
[BadStart]thank you09:27
Balsaqtry puuting it in a flsah drive and install from there and see if the puter likes that09:27
Balsaqflash*09:28
Balsaqwild idea...09:28
Balsaqbut they do it09:28
Balsaqmaybe the compaq and that cd dont get along09:28

BesogonHello. I have found alacarte source. It seems that alacarte has written with python and consists from 3 small files. http://alacarte.sourcearchive.com/ (There shouldn't be much different between Gnome menu and Xfce menu). May be someone can change situation in xfce with menu editor. I'm completely noob in programming.16:35
