[01:20] <sanubuntu> hey guys what could be the problem, i installed 9.10 on a machine last nite with no hitches, but when i installed on this toshiba satellite laptop, i get no desktop image, just a black screen .. the system is useable, i have my menus and gnome panels, but no desktop (so also when i tried to save a vid to desktop, it doesn't appear)
[01:25] <likemindead> Did you try it via the Live CD first?
[01:26] <likemindead> Can you drop to a CLI & run updates?
[01:27] <sanubuntu> likeminded, yes it had standard background in live .. i installed ubuntu studio desktop after installation, now that i remember, and after that no image
[01:29] <sanubuntu> likeminded, sudo apt-get updates ?
[01:33] <sanubuntu> damn, i can't even get my flashplugin installed right ..
[01:33] <sanubuntu> arrrrgggghhhhhhh
[01:34] <likemindead> "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" (minus the quotes).
[01:39] <sanubuntu> likemindead, k i did that prolly have to restart to see if it took .. b4 i do that, can you tell me what might be wrong with my flash?  i installed from synaptic, and its showing as installed, but can't get any video
[01:40] <likemindead> You want to "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras" (you are running Xubuntu, right?).
[01:40] <sanubuntu> ubuntu
[01:40] <sanubuntu> so same just with ubuntu then?
[01:40] <likemindead> Okay. Install "ubuntu-restricted-extras" then.
[01:40] <likemindead> And head over to #ubuntu. ;-)
[01:40] <sanubuntu> k, lemme try
[01:41] <sanubuntu> i like it better here :)
[01:41] <likemindead> Xubuntu _is_ better.
[01:41] <likemindead> :D
[01:44] <likemindead> And yes, sanubuntu, I would reboot.
[01:45] <sanubuntu> k, ubuntu extras almost done then i reboot, thx i be back in a while :)
[01:46] <likemindead> Certainly.

[12:58] <XubuntuNewUser> Hi! I didn't get mms to work with Totem so I uninstalled totem-gstreamer and installed totem-xine. But Totem is STILL using Gstreamer! Why?
[12:58] <XubuntuNewUser> And I can't find the Totem-Xine.
[12:58] <XubuntuNewUser> Where is it+
[12:58] <XubuntuNewUser> ?
[12:59] <XubuntuNewUser> Any IRC channel for Totem? I can't find one (that is for the Totem player).
[13:01] <Xubuntus> (Changed nick from XubuntuNewUser, just in case you think I'm gone. But I suppose you also se me logging out and in again here above.)
[13:01] <Xubuntus> Any ideas to the questions above?
[13:01] <Xubuntus> Anyone managing to play mms streams?
[13:04] <Xubuntus> Okay. See you people later. :)
[13:26] <messiah> subspider, are you there?

[13:45] <messiah> kromar you mean ntfs partitions?
[13:45] <kromar> yes
[13:45] <messiah> sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[13:45] <messiah> and then, ntfs-config
[13:47] <kromar> ahh that looks good, thanks a lot:D

[15:39] <Xubuntus> Hi. I've got a serious problem with sound. Ever since I installed Xubuntu 9.10 I haven't been able to get any sound.
[15:41] <Xubuntus> I tried the LiveCD for Xubuntu, Ubuntu and Gentoo (LiveDVD). With both the Ubuntu and the Gentoo disc I've got sound.
[15:41] <Xubuntus> Out of the box.
[15:42] <Xubuntus> Is there anyone that can help me?
[15:46] <Freewillie> Hi
[15:53] <Xubuntus> Hi.
[15:56] <Freewillie> How do you do?
[16:08] <Xubuntus> Having a cold, otherwise well. You?
[16:14] <Freewillie> I am ok to
[16:15] <Freewillie> Sorry for the late response
[16:15] <Xubuntus> Same here.
[16:15] <Xubuntus> Checking every now and then. Hoping for a reply to my issue.
[16:16] <Freewillie> What's your isue??
[16:19] <Xubuntus> Freewillie, check http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2009/11/09/%23xubuntu.html
[16:20] <Freewillie> ok
[16:20] <Freewillie> What sound chip do you have?
[16:23] <Xubuntus> Realtek ALC883
[16:24] <Freewillie> ok qand it is on the supported hardware list?
[16:24] <Xubuntus> (I've also got another soundcard installed, "SBLive!...", but I'm not going to use it on Xubuntu.)
[16:24] <Xubuntus> Where is that list?
[16:24] <Xubuntus> Xubuntus homepage?
[16:24] <Xubuntus> Hehe... Xubuntu's homepage?    :)
[16:25] <Freewillie> i think so
[16:35] <Freewillie> maar ik denk dat ie er niet in staat
[16:35] <Freewillie> sorry,
[16:35] <Freewillie> I don't think he is in the list butt i know where you can get the driver
[16:35] <Freewillie> http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
[16:35] <Freewillie> Download the linux driver:p
[16:36] <Freewillie> You have to compile the driver to use it
[16:39] <Freewillie> I hope it will solve your ptoblem
[16:39] <Freewillie> I think faster as I can type:)
[16:41] <Freewillie> I've got A problem myself now
[16:41] <Freewillie> I've a usb thumbdrive witch is formatted in ntfs
[16:41] <Freewillie> But if i want to write to it in xubuntu I am not allowed
[16:41] <Freewillie> Even root is not allowed
[16:42] <Freewillie> Does someone have any idea how to solve this?
[16:42] <Freewillie> subspider: do you have any idea?
[16:50] <Freewillie> Could someone help me?
[17:01] <likemindead> !ntfs
[17:09] <Freewillie> Yes ntfs
[17:09] <Freewillie> I am not using linux only
[17:09] <likemindead> Follow those links, Freewillie.
[17:10] <Freewillie> I want compatebility

[17:11] <likemindead> http://lmgtfy.com/?q=NTFS+Ubuntu
[17:12] <Freewillie> But why does xubuntu mount other ntfs partitions well?
[17:12] <fatih> hi, i am on xubuntu 9.10. i cant use 4 desktops. i can see only 2 desktops on panel and i cant handle it. any suggestion? thanks
[17:13] <likemindead> Add panles under Settings, fatih.
[17:13] <likemindead> "Workspaces" I think it is.
[17:13] <likemindead> Very easy.
[17:13] <fatih> likemindead: thanks i m trying.
[17:14] <fatih> likemindead: thank you very much. i am a bit newbie.
[17:14] <fatih> it worked.
[17:14] <likemindead> Glad to help.
[17:14] <likemindead> If you want the fancy cube, etc. you have to install & tweak Compiz.
[17:14] <likemindead> !compiz
[17:15] <fatih> thanks. i asked it for compiz desktop cube effect. i like it very much.
[17:19] <Freewillie> likemindead: There is one problem its never mentioned in fstab
[17:31] <Xubuntus> I have looked at the driver Freewillie pointed me to. It seems like a good idea if nothing else works, BUT. I wonder, WHY does sound work perfect on Ubuntu 9.10 and not on Xubuntu 9.10?
[17:32] <Freewillie> Difrence in driver model?
[17:32] <Xubuntus> I even checked which driver Ubuntu used, and it's not the one Xubuntu tries with. Can it be that Xubuntu is made for people not needing sound?
[17:32] <Freewillie> I know it works that way i had it myself
[17:32] <Freewillie> NOO
[17:33] <Freewillie> normaly xubuntu just recognizes the sound chip
[17:33] <Tesssa> sound here works perfectly in xubuntu
[17:33] <Xubuntus> Isn't the two distro's actually the same, just a different windows manager and some other programs?
[17:33] <Xubuntus> Do the come with DIFFERENT drivers?!
[17:34] <Freewillie> I surely don't know but i am awae of the sound problems
[17:34] <Freewillie> I had it with a pentium 4 motherboar
[17:35] <Xubuntus> Does Xubuntu handle audio differently then Ubuntu? (Refering to what you wrote, Freewillie, about recognizing the sound chip.
[17:35] <Freewillie> I ve solved it but it wasn't easy
[17:35] <Xubuntus> =
[17:35] <Xubuntus> )
[17:35] <Freewillie> I think, but i am not sure
[17:35] <Freewillie> I hate sound myself, it doesn 'tmather wich os.
[17:36] <Xubuntus> I've heard/read that you can convert your Ubuntu to Xubuntu, and vice verse. In that case the audio shouldn't change.
[17:36] <Xubuntus> Oh? Sound issues, you mean?
[17:36] <Freewillie> i dont know but it can because you install or uninstall more than just the window manager
[17:37] <Freewillie> Why else uses ubunutu more diskspace then xubuntu
[17:37] <Xubuntus> I would like to know how it works a little better. I mean, to be able to identify what is different and change exactly that.
[17:37] <Xubuntus> Well, a lot of different programs. But DRIVERS?!
[17:37] <Freewillie> I would like to know it to but i am afraid i cannot help you because i dont know it myself
[17:37] <Xubuntus> Ok
[17:38] <Xubuntus> So, how do I compile the driver in Xubuntu? And then install it?
[17:38] <Xubuntus> Oh, first!!!
[17:38] <Freewillie> have you download it already?
[17:39] <Xubuntus> Can I search for the driver/card that I saw UbuntuLiveCD, in Xubuntu somehow?
[17:40] <Freewillie> I don't know, but why would you like to use xubuntu instead of ubuntu?
[17:40] <Xubuntus> F.ex. I saw, using UbuntuLiveCD, the card "VT1708 [Azalia HDAC] (High Definition)...".
[17:40] <Xubuntus> Because it is faster?
[17:41] <Xubuntus> As far as people here told me.
[17:41] <Xubuntus> And you?
[17:41] <Xubuntus> :)
[17:41] <Freewillie> I like to use xubuntu because of xfce and the speed and the easy way to mod it's login screen and themes
[17:42] <Freewillie> But ubuntu does just fine for me too
[17:42] <subspider> hi
[17:42] <subspider> freewillie??
[17:43] <Freewillie> yes
[17:43] <Freewillie> its me
[17:43] <subspider> can you tell what you did to change your login screen
[17:44] <subspider> i can't change mine lol
[17:44] <Freewillie> check at first if gdm is installed
[17:45] <subspider> nao it is
[17:45] <subspider> then the folder with the new them where did you put it
[17:45] <subspider> ??
[17:45] <Freewillie> ok then you have to download a loginscreen fromthe internet
[17:45] <subspider> i download same as yours
[17:45] <Freewillie> in the themes folder in its own subfolder
[17:47] <Freewillie> the folder is: /usr/share/gdm/themes
[17:48] <Freewillie> in the folder of the login screen is an xml file where you can edit the screen
[17:49] <Xubuntus> Freewillie, No, I haven't downloaded it yet. I have to boot into Xubuntu first. But, will there be any "lost stuff" on the way?
[17:50] <Xubuntus> Like the current drivers staying on in the background and so forth?
[17:50] <Freewillie> what do you mean with: lost stuff?
[17:50] <Freewillie> oh ok
[17:50] <Xubuntus> Btw. Anyone with a system monitor-problem, showing one of the (dual) processorns at 100% all the time and the other normal?
[17:51] <Freewillie> I don't know
[17:51] <subspider> so where did you define your default theme??
[17:51] <Xubuntus> Okay.
[17:51] <Freewillie> it was already there
[17:54] <subspider> ok freewillie i have two folders
[17:55] <subspider> autostart and themes
[17:55] <Freewillie> And in the menu Applications > settings  splashscreen
[17:55] <subspider> you tell me to move the fod with my theme into the theme folder right??
[17:56] <Freewillie> you can set the one witch should be used
[17:56] <Freewillie> yes
[17:58] <Freewillie> And?
[17:58] <Freewillie> Does it work?
[17:58] <subspider> i don't find tha place you say
[17:58] <Freewillie> the folder? ore teh menu?
[17:59] <subspider> applications settings and then no splashscreen
[17:59] <subspider> i have one called session
[17:59] <Freewillie> its the secondmenu item
[17:59] <Freewillie> Ive the dutch one

[20:21] <TheSheep> !samba
[20:36] <Xubuntus> Hi, people.
[20:36] <Xubuntus> Anyone care to help with managing some drivers?
[20:37] <Xubuntus> :)
[20:38] <likemindead> !ask | Xubuntus
[20:40] <Xubuntus> Well, that kind of is the question. How do I manage drivers in Xubuntu? Right now, I'm interesting in sound-drivers.
[20:46] <Xubuntus> Where are the drivers located? Is it as easy as just checking Synaptic?
[20:51] <likemindead> Yes, Xubuntus, you can check Synaptic for the drivers installed/available.
[20:51] <likemindead> You can also track down drivers and compile from source if necessary.
[20:57] <Xubuntus> Is there any other general list for the drivers?
[21:06] <wrgb> Xubuntus: check in Applications > System > Hardware Drivers for any third party drivers being used or available for your machine
[21:09] <wrgb> Xubuntus: you can also click on the volume control and check the sound card drop down to see what sound card your system detected
[21:12] <Xubuntus> Yeah, I got three in the list, but two in reality. And out of those in the list only one is a existing one, but not the one I want to use.
[21:13] <Xubuntus> I just downloaded some drivers from Realtek. I hope it's okay to follow the instructions in the Readme.txt for Xubuntu. (The instructions seems to be for Ubuntu, but no version is mentioned.)
[21:15] <wrgb> Xubuntus: installing them should be the same for Xubuntu, after you install them, select the sound card from the dropdown list and configure the controls
[21:21] <Xubuntus> Do I need to uninstall anything first?
[21:24] <wrgb> Xubuntus: You may need to uninstall the existing driver, but I'm not sure how to do that, sorry
[21:25] <wrgb> Xubuntus: but since it's not recongnising the one you want to use, there shouldn't be any problem
[21:26] <Xubuntus> The instructions now say: "Turn on sound support from kernel config". Can I suppose this is already done?
[21:27] <Xubuntus> Also:   "(soundcore module, default turn on)".
[21:30] <wrgb> Xubuntus: restart your pc and check the dropdown in the mixer for the sound card you just installed
[21:37] <Xubuntus> The step above is step TWO of many. Hence, I have not yet finished installing.
[21:38] <Xubuntus> I did however run into another problem further on.
[21:39] <Xubuntus> It asks me to run "alsaconf", which doesn't work.
[21:40] <wrgb> Xubuntus: try sudo alsaconf
[21:41] <Xubuntus> did
[21:42] <Xubuntus> Same result.
[21:42] <Xubuntus> "command not found"
[21:44] <Xubuntus> Any ideas?
[21:52] <wrgb> Xubuntus: sorry, had to step out for a moment - I'm that's about all I know about sound in (X)ubuntu - I've never had a sound card problem, really they just came up and worked
[21:53] <wrgb> Xubuntus: try asking the question on the channel again and maybe there's someone with  more experience
[21:54] <wrgb> Xubuntus: be specific about the Realtek model number of the card you're using
[21:59] <Xubuntus> While installing the realtek-drivers, for the onboard sound card Realtek ALC883 (VT1708), I can't get alsaconf to run; "command not found". Help me, someone!
[22:12] <Xubuntus> Rebooting... We'll see if this ends up working. :)
[22:15] <wrgb> Xubuntus: If it doesn't, you might also try the Xubuntu users mailing list at : https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
[22:16] <probando> Hello
[22:17] <probando> Silly question: how can I darg and drop or copy any launcher from the applications menu to the desktop, same as I can do on gnome/kde?
[22:17] <probando> *drag
[22:21] <probando> hello?
[22:26] <crash2k> whats the default xubuntu theme called?
[22:28] <likemindead> In 9.10?
[22:28] <crash2k> yes
[22:28] <likemindead> It's Albatross, I believe.
[22:29] <crash2k> thank you :)
[22:34] <crash2k> whats the name of the default border? lol
[22:34] <Xubuntus> I'm starting to dislike this distribution very much. Got sound but extreeeemly low.
[22:35] <Xubuntus> Why can't things work?! It's the year 2009. These problems shouldn't be here...
[22:36] <likemindead> Complaining should help. :-\
[22:36] <likemindead> You want your money back?
[22:36] <crash2k> ummm whats the default  metacity theme in xubuntu 9.10?
[22:36] <Xubuntus> Yeah, maybe. How knows?
[22:37] <Xubuntus> *who
[22:37] <likemindead> >____<
[22:37] <crash2k> who knows*
[22:37] <crash2k> lol
[22:37] <Xubuntus> lol
[22:37] <Xubuntus> How come there are no easy-to-follow manuals on such a simple thing as installing drivers?
[22:38] <crash2k> what kind of driver?
[22:38] <likemindead> Because you really _need_ to install drivers in Linux.
[22:38] <likemindead> facepalm.jpg
[22:38] <Xubuntus> ALL drivers.
[22:38] <crash2k> excuse me likeminedead do you know what the default metacity theme in xubuntu is?
[22:38] <Xubuntus> They are ONE category. No need for more then ONE way.
[22:39] <Xubuntus> likemindead, What? "Because I really _need_ "? I don't understand.
[22:40] <Xubuntus> Is ANYONE of you using snd-hda-intel?
[22:42] <Xubuntus> I downloaded the drivers from Realtek's site. Installed following their instructions. But not all was possible, strangly enough. :/  alsaconf doesn't exist and the instructions tell me to run it.
[22:42] <crash2k> ugh
[22:42] <Xubuntus> And why do I have THREE soundcards in the mixer, but in reality only two in my computer?
[22:43] <Xubuntus> ugh? Not a good idea to follow those instructions, huh?
[22:43] <Xubuntus> Or do you mean alsaconf?
[22:45] <Xubuntus> Can I somehow copy the audio-configuration AND drivers from a running UbuntuLiveCD to my installed Xubuntu?
[22:46] <schizoTK> Hello xubuntu gurus!
[22:46] <schizoTK> Many thanks for this fine OS
[22:47] <Xubuntus> Isn't it strange that BOTH the ALSA and the OSS volume control is synchronized and work at the same time?! I mute one, the other mutes - and vice versa.
[22:48] <Xubuntus> schizoTK, fine? You've got sound working then?
[22:48] <Xubuntus> :)
[22:48] <schizoTK> Having an issue installing another separate full xubuntu alongside winXP/winNT/xubuntu

[22:49] <schizoTK> tried the upgrade, but had problems
[22:50] <schizoTK> I'm on an Acer Aspire One ZG5
[22:50] <schizoTK> 1GB RAM 160GBhdd
[22:51] <Xubuntus> Ok.
[22:51] <Xubuntus> What sound card have you got in the mixer?
[22:51] <schizoTK> Qualcomm 9121 3g modem is not working, but cell phone tethering works
[22:52] <hoeq> Anyone who knows how to make terminals _really_ transparent in xubuntu?
[22:52] <schizoTK> mixer shows both HDA Intel ALSA
[22:52] <hoeq> Now I can see my wallpaper through them, but not the windows behind.
[22:53] <schizoTK> and Realtek ALC268 (OSS Mixer)
[22:54] <schizoTK> In terminal select menu option Edit then scroll to preferences
[22:55] <schizoTK> Been trying to install a 2nd xubuntu alonside everything else for testing purposes
[22:55] <hoeq> schizoTK: that's not what I meant, the terminal is transparent (via the setting you mentioned) but not entirely.
[22:55] <hoeq> I can see the desktop behind it, but if I put another window behind a terminal, that will not be visible at all.
[22:55] <hoeq> Plus the wallpaper lags a bit while I move the terminal windows around.
[22:56] <schizoTK> Maybe too much for your video hardware?
[22:56] <hoeq> It worked fine before I reinstalled xubuntu.
[22:56] <Xubuntus> Which of the two cards is the one working for you?
[22:57] <schizoTK> Which version of xubuntu?
[22:57] <hoeq> schizoTK: 9.10
[22:57] <schizoTK> @ Xubuntus ... Both!
[22:57] <schizoTK> I had problems when I upgraded to 9.10
[22:58] <schizoTK> Had to re-install 9.04 to get everything working again
[22:58] <schizoTK> But it works GREAT!
[22:59] <hoeq> About the transparency thing, it works on my laptop, also xubuntu 9.10
[22:59] <hoeq> And I also had 9.10 on this computer prior to re-installation
[22:59] <schizoTK> So you have compositing enabled @ hoeq?
[23:00] <hoeq> Sry, you lost me there : >
[23:00] <hoeq> Where can I find it?
[23:00] <schizoTK> Window Manager Tweaks under the Applications menu
[23:01] <Xubuntus> I don't get it. I installed the Realtek Alsa drivers and all of a sudden one completely wrong card turned into a OSS card! What's happening?!
[23:01] <Xubuntus> Btw. Is this the official IRC-channel for Xubuntu?
[23:01] <schizoTK> I don't know @ Xubuntus
[23:02] <schizoTK> Maybe all the uberxunterkind are busy?
[23:02] <hoeq> schizoTK: that doesn't change anything, other than the custom settings under the "Compositor" tab.
[23:02] <hoeq> Like making the window decorations transparent, for example.
[23:03] <hoeq> Or wait, when I enabled compositing, I can't make the terminals transparent at all anymore. :S
[23:03] <Xubuntus> Okay. Now this is even MORE weird. The ONLY channel (in the mixer and in reality) that plays sound is the CENTER speaker!
[23:03] <hoeq> Now they're solid black.
[23:03] <schizoTK> Somewhere in there are settings for popup transparencies etc
[23:03] <Xubuntus> I give up. This is TERRIBLE.
[23:04] <hoeq> But then there's also the terminal-specific settings, which is what I am trying to get to work.
[23:04] <schizoTK> Once compositing has been enabled, try opening terminal
[23:04] <hoeq> hmm, wait, I'll try closing my terminals, brb
[23:04] <schizoTK> Then go to the Edit menu in Terminal
[23:04] <schizoTK> Then scroll down to Preferences
[23:05] <schizoTK> Then select Appearances
[23:05] <hoeq> It works fine now, thanks a lot!
[23:05] <schizoTK> Then select Background
[23:06] <schizoTK> No prob!
[23:06] <hoeq> I just had to enable compositing and close all "old" terminal windows.
[23:06] <hoeq> And then make them transparent again.
[23:06] <schizoTK> =)
[23:07] <schizoTK> So... Anyone familiar with multi-boot systems?
[23:07] <Xubuntus> Jepp.
[23:08] <schizoTK> I'm having an issue installing a 2nd xubuntu alongside everything else
[23:08] <Xubuntus> Have you got two parallel systems already?
[23:08] <schizoTK> Yes, 3
[23:09] <Xubuntus> Yeah, I read a little of it. But I'm to consumed of the sound issue. Although, I'll try to help you a little on the way. :)
[23:09] <schizoTK> WinXP/WinNT(recovery)/xubuntu (9.04)
[23:09] <Xubuntus> Ok.
[23:09] <hoeq> I had to do the partitioning manually, if that's what you meant, schizoTK.
[23:09] <Xubuntus> Harddrives?
[23:09] <schizoTK> 160GB hdd
[23:09] <Xubuntus> One?
[23:09] <hoeq> Couldn't get it the way I wanted otherwize.
[23:09] <schizoTK> yes
[23:09] <Xubuntus> Partitions?
[23:09] <Xubuntus> From 0 to x.
[23:10] <schizoTK> already running WinXP/WinNT(recovery)/xubuntu (9.04)
[23:10] <schizoTK> /dev/sda0
[23:11] <schizoTK> what's the terminal command? fd
[23:11] <schizoTK> I had more linux distros installed at on time
[23:12] <schizoTK> but pared things down once I got xubuntu installed
[23:12] <schizoTK> Now I can't install another xubuntu for testing
[23:15] <schizoTK> I'm currently running off a live USB
[23:15] <schizoTK> I'll come back after a reboot
[23:15] <schizoTK> Thanks for your time.
[23:19] <Xubuntus> Okay. FINALLY got the "stupid" sound to work. Windows2008 or rather the driver from MSI for the audio detects which plug is in which port automatically. But not the linux drivers, so my front speakers are SIDE channel in the mixer. Aaaawesome...
[23:19] <Xubuntus> :D
[23:20] <schizoTK> Hello xubuntu gurus!
[23:20] <Xubuntus> Any idea why the flashplayer doesn't react on youtube? It playes, but doesn't go HD, pause or anything else.
[23:20] <Xubuntus> Hi, again!
[23:20] <Xubuntus> What was your problem?
[23:21] <schizoTK> I reverted to 9.04 & everything worked again
[23:21] <schizoTK> trying to setup another xubuntu alongside 3 other OS'
[23:22] <schizoTK> I tried the upgrade to 9.10 but had too many issues
[23:23] <schizoTK> Tried kuki linux, but had no net connectivity via 3g
[23:24] <schizoTK> found a magazine that had several *buntu flavors
[23:24] <schizoTK> on DVD
[23:24] <Xubuntus> But, did you try to install an upgrade by itself, somehow?
[23:24] <Xubuntus> Aha.
[23:24] <schizoTK> Copied the DVD onto a USB flash drive prepared with syslinux
[23:25] <schizoTK> copied the contents of isolinux to the / of the USB key
[23:25] <Xubuntus> And you know some about how to work with Grub and Grub2 then I suppose?
[23:25] <schizoTK> renamed isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg
[23:26] <Xubuntus> Oh, btw. Have you got mms:-links working?
[23:27] <Xubuntus> But whats the problem now?
[23:27] <schizoTK> I know how to edit grub.cfg
[23:27] <schizoTK> What's mms:-links
[23:28] <schizoTK> No not grub itd menu.lst
[23:28] <schizoTK> its
[23:28] <schizoTK> anyway, got xubuntu 9.04 installed
[23:29] <schizoTK> want to install another
[23:29] <schizoTK> for testing
[23:29] <schizoTK> need to compile qcserial.c into the old kernel
[23:30] <schizoTK> don't want to bork the current installation =)
[23:30] <schizoTK> Don't know if the newest kernel will work on my mini
[23:32] <schizoTK> tried the Upgrade Manager's suggestion to "Upgrade" to 9.10
[23:32] <schizoTK> then lost 3g connectivity in 9.10
[23:33] <schizoTK> so re-installed 9.04 from my USB key
[23:34] <schizoTK> now getting error msg when attempting to resize partitions during the install alongside option
[23:34] <schizoTK> currently have 4 partitions
[23:34] <schizoTK> That's the problem! Only can have 4!
[23:35] <schizoTK> So if I get rid of linux-swap I may be able to complete the mult-boot setup!
[23:35] <schizoTK> Thanks! =)
[23:35] <schizoTK> LMAO!
[23:36] <schizoTK> You've been a great help! Thanks!
[23:39] <Xubuntus> LMAO? What's that, any?
[23:40] <Xubuntus> Ah, okay. Got it, haha!!
[23:41] <Xubuntus> Good night people!
