[00:20] <schizoTK> It worked! Got rid of linux-swap, used largest continuous free space, & it installed like a breeze!
[00:20] <schizoTK> Now have 2 separate xubuntu intstallations
[00:21] <schizoTK> I can bork this one & keep my main safe
[00:22] <schizoTK> Anyone have experience compiling a module into the kernel?
[00:30] <schizoTK> Does anyone know if qcserials.c is included in the latest kernel?
[00:36] <schizoTK> =)
[01:05] <itsbrad212> hello
[01:31] <Tonno> can I add applet of gnome on xfce?
[01:45] <Tonno> or there is a way that i can hide the menu that is down of the  xfwm4?
[01:54] <jeb800e123> hello?
[01:55] <tyam> hello
[01:56] <tyam> can someone help me?
[01:56] <cody-somerville> sure
[01:57] <tyam> do you anything about networking?
[02:00] <Legendre> anyone care to speculate on a goofy screen/kb freeze issue? I'm trying to pin down exactly what is happening.
[02:01] <Legendre> what happens: randomly the screen will freeze, but the mouse pointer still works and does not leave trails.
[02:01] <Legendre> the KB also gets locked out at the same time.
[02:01] <tyam> not sure this is my first time in the IRC but its not happing to me
[02:01] <Legendre> if video is playing, the image freezes - but the sound will continue to play fine.
[02:01] <Legendre> tyam: welcome to IRC ;-)
[02:02] <tyam> thank you
[02:02] <tyam> I have a question about networking oh and BTW: im a linux virgin
[02:04] <Legendre> might not be the best place to ask, but you can try.
[02:04] <Legendre> one irc tip: Don't ask about asking ;-)
[02:05] <tyam> huh?
[02:05] <Legendre> just ask, and not too often.. if someone answers, listen carefully.
[02:05] <tyam> oh.. got it
[02:05] <tyam> hmmm... do you know of a good fourm then?
[02:06] <Legendre> just try your question.. I'll do my best to assist you.
[02:09] <tyam> ok.. so I installed Xubuntu last night on an old dell laptop.. xubuntu picked up my wifi card... I try to connect to my Access Point and.. Im prompted to enter my WPA password .... I enter it and then about 1 minute later I have to enter it again each time.... but i never am connected to the internet due to the fact that the laptop does not have an ethernet
[02:10] <Legendre> hm, ok.. here's the deal. Linux et al is a bit shaky with WiFi. And even on some machines where the WiFi is 'pretty damn good' there are problems with WPA.
[02:10] <likemindead> My old Dell laptop can't connect to WPA/2 for instance. :-\
[02:11] <Legendre> I would suggest reverting to WEP on your AP (or no security, just for testing) and trying that.
[02:11] <Legendre> start with no secy. and work up.
[02:11] <tyam> okay.. will do
[02:11] <Legendre> WEP+MAC auth is pretty decent
[02:11] <Legendre> any really, any committed hack will get in one way or another.
[02:11] <tyam> thank you for using your precious time to help me on the IRC
[02:12] <Legendre> also, read up on your driver! See what is known about WPA support
[02:12] <cody-somerville> tyam, can you pastebin /var/log/syslog ?
[02:12] <Legendre> if my time were precious, I'd not be on IRC ;-) But you are very welcome.
[02:12] <tyam> how do I do that?
[02:13] <cody-somerville> tyam, http://pastebin.com
[02:13] <tyam> okay hold on
[02:13] <Legendre> tyam: another thing to help you. Open a terminal, and type tail -f /var/log/syslog
[02:14] <Legendre> leave that term open as you attempt you WPA connections.. see what shows up
[02:15] <tyam> on another fourm I was to dmesg|tail do you want me to pastebin that too
[02:17] <tyam> [ 28.482179] pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket0: cs: IO port probe 0xc00-0xcf7: clean.
[02:18] <tyam> oh wait how do I use pastebin after I create a post
[02:18] <likemindead> cody-somerville, there's pastebin.ubuntu.org too!
[02:18] <tyam> http://pastebin.com/m4610242d
[02:18] <tyam> i think...
[02:20] <Tonno> there is a way that i can hide the menu that is down of the  xfwm4? (File Edit View Go Tools Help)
[02:21] <Legendre> tyam: that's just showing generic timeouts
[02:22] <Legendre> tyam: try the no secy. thing for now.. see if you can connect.
[02:22] <Legendre> then work up to WEP etc.
[02:23] <tyam> okay will do thank you
[03:29] <hardbop200> hi! what's the proper way to disable gdm from starting on 9.10? update-rc.d -f gdm remove doesn't seem to work...
[03:30] <likemindead> Enable auto-login?
[03:34] <hardbop200> likemindead: no, just stop gdm from starting automatically. I prefer "startx", but I'd rather not remove gdm just in case I need to go back to it at some point.
[08:14] <Guest21138> hi all. where do i find the hard drives under xubuntu?
[08:19] <_Pete_> Guest21138: what do you mean?
[08:25] <Guest21138> well where do i see hard drive configurations under xubuntu, sizes etc.?
[08:28] <_Pete_> sudo fdisk -l
[08:28] <_Pete_> shows all discs and partitions
[08:28] <_Pete_> df -h
[08:28] <_Pete_> shows mounted and usage of them
[08:29] <PRIDE> i'm an ubuntu user interested in the x counter part looking to dig up some info so question: whats the difference between ubuntu and x ubuntu?
[08:30] <_Pete_> PRIDE: gnome vs xfce UI
[08:30] <PRIDE> _Pete_ , kinda new to ubuntu on the whole.....ummm explane plz?
[08:31] <Guest21138> okay but kind of new to linux is there no way to see the different partitions with size info etc like under windows or lxde?
[08:31] <_Pete_> and what's wrong with fdisk -l?
[08:31] <_Pete_> they can be seen from that just fine
[08:32] <Guest21138> yeah but kind of difficult to see which is which for me as newbie, plus want to resize partition
[08:34] <PRIDE> _Pete_ will it run all of ubuntu's programs? like cairo dock, or gnome do, ortuxguitarm pidgin, skype, opera united, cheese, and picasa?
[08:34] <PRIDE> tuxguitar**
[08:35] <_Pete_> dont know about cairo dock if that some gnome thing then not
[08:35] <_Pete_> but normal programs runs just fine be it xubuntu/ubuntu/kubuntu
[08:35] <_Pete_> or what ever linux
[08:36] <PRIDE> mmm...and will it be able to recognise my hp webcam?
[09:58] <Balsaq> hi knome
[09:59] <knome> hello Balsaq
[10:08] <Balsaq> brb...
[10:11] <knome_work> ugh
[10:35] <schizoTK> Hello xubuntu gurus!
[10:35] <knome_work> !hi | schizoTK
[10:36] <schizoTK> Thanks
[10:37] <schizoTK> having no luck connecting via Qualcomm 9212 3g modem
[10:37] <schizoTK> I've got 3 different xubuntu installations for testing now
[10:38] <schizoTK> tried 2 different kernels... No luck...
[10:38] <knome_work> !modem
[10:38] <knome_work> have you read through that?
[10:38] <schizoTK> WWAN modem appears in uninitialized state
[10:39] <schizoTK> I'll go read it ... Thanks!
[10:42] <schizoTK> This modem needs to have firmware loaded to it before it's recognized as a modem
[10:43] <schizoTK> I've got a firmware loader & the pertinent firmware files for my machine
[10:43] <schizoTK> but need to compile qcserials.c into the kernel
[10:44] <schizoTK> I'm wondering how I can determine if usbserials is included in my currently installed kernel?
[10:45] <knome_work> modprobe usbserials
[10:45] <knome_work> i suppose
[10:45] <knome_work> or lsmod even, actually
[10:45] <schizoTK> Cool! I'll try it...
[10:47] <schizoTK> Got a listing of modules from lsmod but no usbserials
[10:48] <knome_work> then it's not included
[10:48] <knome_work> did you try searching if you can install it as package
[10:48] <schizoTK> Not available as a package...
[10:48] <knome_work> http://blog.mypapit.net/2008/05/how-to-use-usb-serial-port-converter-in-ubuntu.html
[10:48] <knome_work> read that?
[10:49] <schizoTK> I tried kuki linux, but no luck there either. I'll go read the link... Thanks.
[10:50] <schizoTK> This modem is built into my laptop. It has a SIM card like a phone.
[10:51] <schizoTK> I've been researching this since April, (off & on)
[10:52] <knome_work> didn't that link have instructions to install usbserials in the kernel?
[10:53] <schizoTK> The link assumes the module is included
[10:54] <schizoTK> I've tried everything except compiling qcserials.c & including it with usbserials into the kernel
[10:55] <schizoTK> The device appears as USB storage until the firmware is loaded
[10:56] <schizoTK> So the uninitialized device shows up as Qualcomm 9211
[10:56] <schizoTK> When initialized, it should show as 9212
[11:00] <schizoTK> Currently tethered to my cell phone
[11:01] <schizoTK> Mobile Broadband works, it's just this modem needs special treatment
[11:01] <knome_work> hmm
[11:02] <schizoTK> I've read through the pertinent threads on http://ubuntuforums.org
[11:04] <schizoTK> http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/gobi_loader/
[11:04] <schizoTK> Check that link
[11:05] <schizoTK> I tried upgrading to 9.10 but had too many problems, including no cell phone connection
[11:05] <knome_work> so have you tried the gobi loader?
[11:06] <schizoTK> I don't have a kernel with the needed module
[11:08] <knome_work> right. i'm not at home at the moment so i can't really look into that
[11:08] <knome_work> :/
[11:09] <schizoTK> I don't know how to compile the module into the kernel
[11:09] <schizoTK> No problem... I at least have net connectivity now!
[11:10] <knome_work> hehe yeah
[11:10] <knome_work> !kernel
[11:10] <knome_work> !modules
[11:10] <knome_work> schizoTK: that one ^
[11:10] <knome_work> schizoTK: does it help?
[11:11] <schizoTK> I'm copying !
[11:11] <schizoTK> Thanks!
[11:14] <schizoTK> It's 1:15 am here... I should go to sleep...
[11:15] <schizoTK> I have all day tomorrow to figure this out...
[11:15] <knome_work> heh
[11:15] <schizoTK> Thanks for your help knome_work, greatly appreciated.
[11:16] <knome_work> schizoTK: no problem. good luck with the modem
[11:32] <theatro> hello
[11:35] <theatro> The "alternate" release means it does not function as a live CD or this info I am reading is BS?
[11:53] <TheSheep> yes, it's just a text-based installer
[11:55] <theatro> ok
[12:05] <MaxFrames> hello. Since I installed 9.10 (and I upgraded Synergy to Synergy+ because the former was repeatedly crashing) the screen saver no longer starts
[12:06] <MaxFrames> I have set it up to start after 1 minute when the computer is idle, and it does not start (it did before with 9.04)
[12:06] <MaxFrames> I guess some process is preventing the computer to idle, maybe synergy+ itself, but i really need it, cannot do without it
[12:07] <MaxFrames> can you suggest a troubleshooting?
[12:31] <MaxFrames> I have killed the synergy task so now the slate is clean, the screensaver is still not running so it must be something else
[12:31] <MaxFrames> any ideas? please?
[12:33] <MaxFrames> if I type "gnome-screensaver-command -a" the screensaver starts
[12:50] <MaxFrames> it seems the bug is known and only affects some xubuntu users: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/397892
[12:50] <MaxFrames> the screen saver can be started manually, but the automated power saving settings don't seem to work at all
[12:53] <MaxFrames> it even looks like the bug status is triaged now
[12:54] <MaxFrames> let's hope for a quick fix
[14:32] <Pres-Gas> Good morrow
[14:32] <likemindead> Mornin' Pres-Gas.
[14:33] <Pres-Gas> Put out some mini fires, but now ready to lurk again.
[15:40] <AryehGregor> I just upgraded to 9.10, and now my multiple monitor support seems to have gone weird.  I've used xrandr to set up the monitors, and that worked fine in 9.04, but now only my left-hand monitor seems to work properly.  I can't drag windows all the way into my right-hand monitor, and panels refuse to go there too.
[15:40] <AryehGregor> Any suggestions?
[15:41] <lucijan> hi
[15:41] <AryehGregor> This looks weird, from xrandr: VGA1 connected 1280x1024+1280+0 0mm x 0mm
[15:41] <AryehGregor> 0mm x 0mm?  Don't know if that's normal.
[15:41] <lucijan> i installed a new network interface card and lshw says network (UNCLAIMED) but the right informations, so i guess the right module is not loaded
[15:42] <lucijan> what is the way to rebuild the list of modules loaded at startup?
[15:42] <Pres-Gas> lucijan, look through "dmesg | less" and see if the card gets associated with a driver.
[15:43] <lucijan> also  i have two gdm related questions: (1) is there any way in the PostSession script to know which UID oder user logged out and (2) is there a way to remove the session/keyboard/etc. menu?
[15:44] <AryehGregor> Hmm, no, windows will drag over.  But panels refuse to go to the second monitor.
[15:44] <AryehGregor> In 9.04 I had an option in the panel customization screen for which monitor to put it on.
[15:44] <AryehGregor> FWIW, Applications -> Settings -> Display only recognizes one monitor.
[15:45] <lucijan> Pres-Gas: it seems that indeed 3c59x module is loaded
[15:45] <lucijan> altough neither ifconfig no mii recognize the card
[15:46] <Pres-Gas> ...but did it associate with the card in dmesg, lucijan?
[15:47] <lucijan> running modprobe -v manually says eeprom mac address not valid
[15:49] <lucijan> Pres-Gas, what does the message for an association look like?
[15:50] <lucijan> it says 3COM Pci ... at e0740000
[15:50] <lucijan> (at startup)
[15:50] <lucijan> (in dmesg :)
[15:52] <AryehGregor> Manually restarting xfce4-panel fixed the problem.
[15:56] <cgroza> i am curently stuck in xfce with no panels....how do i make them start help pls
[15:58] <lucijan> cgroza, try rightclick on the desktop -> applications -> settings -> panel
[16:12] <lucijan> Pres-Gas, apperently it was a faulty nw card

[18:27] <jhb1608> Hello, I need to install In ternet Explorer, because the website says I must use Internet Explorer. I may will sent a complaint to a person, but I don't think they will change it. So what program I needv to get Internet Explorer without Wine in Xubuntu 9.10?
[18:27] <jhb1608> Internet Explorer*
[18:28] <jhb1608> And plus, how do I mount CDs in the easy way? I did the command to mount, but wants to do it in easy and better way.
[18:28] <Sysi> it's M$, fat chance without wine
[18:29] <jhb1608> :|
[18:29] <jhb1608> well I don't think sending a complaint will not work
[18:30] <jhb1608> because most time they did is ignore me
[18:30] <Sysi> good sited work with all browsers
[18:30] <Sysi> *sites
[18:30] <jhb1608> well then I'd suggest ya to try this site: www.ebtaccount.jpmorgan.com
[18:30] <Sysi> if it's just about ie, opera can fool site
[18:31] <jhb1608> I tried Firefox, and it says system isn't avaliable
[18:31] <Sysi> that works fine for me
[18:31] <Sysi> Welcome to EBT Account,
[18:31] <jhb1608> no
[18:31] <jhb1608> try logging in
[18:32] <jhb1608> and it will say system not avaliable
[18:32] <jhb1608> well if you have an account :P
[18:32] <jhb1608> I'll screenshot to prove
[18:32] <Sysi> you could try that opera thing
[18:33] <jhb1608> ok.
[18:33] <jhb1608> if what if opera don't help?
[18:33] <Sysi> portraying ie with that
[18:33] <jhb1608> hm...
[18:34] <jhb1608> I'm on opera.com
[18:34] <jhb1608> I am in download part
[18:34] <jhb1608> but I only see ubuntu, no Xubuntu.
[18:35] <jhb1608> Well?
[18:36] <Sysi> that does'n matter
[18:36] <Sysi> they're totally same for that level
[18:37] <jhb1608> okay.
[18:39] <jhb1608> even I'm an experienced user to 2 versions of Ubuntu, I still ask questions.
[18:40] <jhb1608> Ok, typing the same website
[18:40] <jhb1608> if it don't work, I will mail a complaint
[18:41] <Sysi> opera propably need to set for acting ie
[18:42] <jhb1608> mask or set as IE?
[18:42] <jhb1608> I'm on site setting options now
[18:44] <jhb1608> I went to: Tools>Quick Prefs>Edit Site Prefs> Network
[18:44] <jhb1608> I see opotion Mask as IE OR Idenfity as IE
[18:44] <jhb1608> option*
[18:47] <jhb1608> I will wait all day until anyone respond my question
[18:48]  * jhb1608 rolls his eyes
[18:48] <jhb1608> ok I'l ltry everything
[18:48] <jhb1608> nope.
[18:49] <jhb1608> nope
[18:49] <jhb1608> both options won't work
[18:49] <jhb1608> so Opera is definely out
[18:49] <jhb1608> guess I'll have ot log on my friend's slow laptop
[18:51] <Sysi> i've only tried opera and didn't like it
[18:55] <jhb1608> yeah speed is better, but don't like the looks
[18:57] <jhb1608> it is why I rarely use opera, I use firefox more
[19:01] <jhb1608> guess I'll install IE4linux unoffically.
[19:20] <jhb1608> I still see System not avaliable, even I use internet explorer.
[19:21] <jhb1608> and plus firefox and plus opera
[19:22] <jhb1608> yeah it sounds so crazy
[19:23] <jhb1608> Now I want to try 1 more thing, installing Safari in Xubuntu, but I dunno if it will work

[22:25] <likemindead> I'm curious, why does Xubuntu, seemingly randomly, ask you for a password to shut down?
[22:27] <cody-somerville> It happens if there is another user logged in or console session open
[22:28] <likemindead> Hmm. I'm the only user & I closed the console.
[22:29] <likemindead> Well, maybe I didn't. I use Tilda (terminal emulator).

[22:49] <likemindead> Give Linux Mint a try, Xubuntus.
[22:49] <Xubuntus> Why?
[22:50] <Xubuntus> Does it WORK OUT OF THE BOX as it should?
[22:50] <Xubuntus> :)
[22:50] <Xubuntus> So no-one in here installed ALSA before?
[22:50] <likemindead> It may be easier for you.
[22:51] <likemindead> ALSA comes installed in Xubuntu.
[22:51] <Xubuntus> Yeah, but it doesn't work!
[22:51] <likemindead> It does on certain hardware. My wife's laptop loves Xubuntu 9.10 but I had to install PulseAudio on my laptop.
[22:53] <Xubuntus> As I told yesterday, the UbuntuLiveCD works very well with sound. But not the XubuntuLiveCD nor the installed Xubuntu. The STRAAAANGE thing is that, I got the sound to work exacly 23 hours ago. Shut'ed down the computer. Started it today and NO way José - it doesn't work. AGAIN.
[22:54] <Xubuntus> So the problem should not be hardware not being liked by ALSA. Otherwise the UbuntuLiveCD wouldn't show THE EXACT CORRECT soundcard I have in my computer.
[22:55] <Xubuntus> This is just stupid. There has to be a way to fix this.
[22:55] <Xubuntus> So...
[22:55] <Xubuntus> I'm following the ALSA-guide at http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-hda-intel
[22:55] <Xubuntus> How do I do the part at "Setting up modprobe and kmod support" ?
[22:56] <Xubuntus> There's neither a /etc/modules.conf or a /etc/conf.modules in the Xubuntu installed system.
[22:56] <Xubuntus> If I just MAKE one up, will that work?
[22:59] <Xubuntus> Good night.
