[02:18] hello [02:18] i am interested in how does xubuntu deal with displaying battery state notifications [02:19] is there any patch for xfce4-power-manager? [02:33] xenol, you just need to be running a libnotify compatible notification daemon I think [02:35] cody-somerville: when i insert battery or AC it sends notification. tho i am looking for something similar to this [02:35] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Specifications/Karmic/NotifyOsd?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=notify-osd-powerinfo-example.png [02:36] that wasn't implemented [02:36] any patch? [02:42] cody-somerville: any patch for it which will implement that feature? [02:43] not as far as i know [02:43] it works only in crappy ubuntu? [02:43] pardon my language though :) [03:22] armageddon09: ok, i think i found what you're talking about, looks like the right thing .. i'll have to log out to the other user and try it [03:22] thanks [03:24] hi [03:27] question, how do I install Java when I'm in Xubuntu 9.10? [03:30] well? [03:31] hello? [03:32] never mind [03:37] >____< === Techie__ is now known as _Techie_ [05:41] anyone around I need help [05:42] 68 people and no one talks? what am I missing? [07:45] if i burn 9.10 onto cd, how may cd's will it take to copy the enitre OS? [07:46] these cd's are 700mb...so i am guessing 2...right? [07:48] Balsaq: about what iso's are you talking? [07:48] one iso is one cd [08:04] hello [08:05] bonjour [08:05] comment allez vous? [08:06] ?? [08:06] y a t'il quelqu'un svp [08:06] i need help [08:07] What's wrong? [08:07] pleeeaaaaaase [08:07] ouf [08:07] well [08:08] it's my screen resolution [08:08] it's only 800x600 but under win its more than that [08:08] how can change it [08:08] dell C600 p3 [08:08] ram 128 [08:08] HD 10 [08:09] need smth more? [08:09] Have you installed drivers? [08:09] which ones? [08:11] i've tried to update some but it(s still the same [08:12] any idea? [08:14] j'ai un dell latitude c6OO et je n'arrive pas a changer la resolution de mon ecran [08:14] a l'aide svp! [08:16] je suis toujours a l'ecoute hein! [08:16] You use xfce4-display-settings for changing resolution don't you? So If your system has driver for graphics card and you are interested in another resolution you should make xorg.conf [08:17] the pb is that my xorg.conf file is empty [08:17] and when i change it [08:18] it bugs [08:18] when i restart [08:20] antonio_, xorg.conf is easy to change. [08:21] i know it is [08:22] !paste [08:22] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com (or !pastebinit for CLI) | For pasting !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin Please give us the URLs for your posts! [08:23] and i 've even a file on a forum [08:23] i copied it and pasted in my xorg.conf file [08:23] but still nada [08:23] :( [08:24] This is mine http://paste.ubuntu.com/316685/ [08:25] modelines should be only your own. [08:26] !xorg.conf [08:26] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [08:30] thbaks a lot [08:30] i will check and tell you later guys [08:34] sorry for being so slow my computer is a bit slow i got to add some memory ;D [08:35] What graphic card you have got? (nvidia, ati, intel) [08:39] intel i think [08:40] but am not sure [08:40] how do i check? [08:41] VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x (rev 02) [08:41] isn't the graphic card line? [08:42] so its NTI and not intel [08:43] !ati [08:43] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:44] See that link [08:59] hello am back [09:00] i type the command, my screen went black and i had to restart it manually [09:00] is it normal? [11:25] what's the default xubuntu cursor theme? [11:26] dmz? [11:27] i am asking you, don't expect answer from me. i am not using debian based distros [11:28] fedoras mouse theme is best [11:28] but my wifi works only in debian baseds [11:31] also any idea what gtk engine do i need to use for albatross? [12:35] is besogon around ? [12:39] am back with my problem [12:39] any helper? [12:39] what's up? [12:44] hi sysi [12:44] can u help? [12:45] me [12:45] with my screen pb? [12:46] hello, which are the packages i need to install from the terminal in order to listen mp3 and watch youtube videos? i mean the exact name [12:49] you can download vlc [12:49] it has all the codecs required [12:50] i think it sudo apt-get install vlc-nox [12:50] try this [12:51] go on the site of VLC u will have the exact command [12:58] my connexion is very baaaaaaaaaad!!!! [13:27] <_YeahRight> messiah: the codecs are in xubuntu extras package or something [14:33] messiah: the package you need in Synaptic package manager is xubuntu-restricted-extras , this will install mp3 and flash support [15:11] I have the following issue: I set xubuntu to boot into commandline. Now when I start X using the "startx"-command I have no sound in X. When I swich to a tty I can hear what is being played back under X. - Stange. [15:11] Strange. [15:50] Does anyone know how the sound is started in Karmic? I.e.: What scripts, what loads the driver (pulse)? [15:54] Xubuntu doesn't come with PulseAudio [15:54] It uses Alsa I believe [16:10] "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart" results in "command not found". I guess it's pulse. [16:11] Probably because Upstart is used instead of init [16:11] Nevertheless; How do I start it manually? [16:11] And: sorry, don't know yet :( [16:11] jop [16:12] I'd like to read in detail about upstart. [16:12] !upstart [16:12] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [16:12] there is no daemon afaik for sound like there is with pulseaudio [16:12] you can't "stop and start" sound [16:13] Ah, o.k. [16:14] Thanks ubottu [16:15] He's a bot :) [16:15] !ubottu [16:15] Hi! I'm #xubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [16:16] Anyway, I'm off, bye :) [17:46] hi.. i need help, java applet won't run. http://imagebin.org/71446 :( [17:47] Hi, has anyone used the xserver-xorg-video-openchrome package? Any advice? [17:58] The advice would be to avoid getting a system with some Via Chrome card in it to begin with [18:27] ?? [19:11] Hey there. Can anyone help with my xubuntu laptop screen resolution problem? Resolution is smaller than screen so I have a big black border. [19:11] Only options in display properties are 800x600 and below [19:12] Apparently there's no xorg.conf anymore...? [19:15] you can still create it and it will be used [19:17] How can I auto generate a new one? tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but nothing happens [19:17] You don't need a complete one. If you have some stanza set which includes whatever you want to specify for settings you can use just that excerpt [19:19] I need to figure that bit out yet. Really old laptop, intel graphics, not sure of exact model. :\ [19:31] lspci | grep VGA should tell the model [19:38] hello together.. I'm a xubuntu newbe and i have troubles installing my usb wlan driver... can someone probably help me? [19:40] <_Techie_> what usb wifi module is it? [19:41] http://www.sitecom.com/support-product/productid/710#drivers [19:42] alternatively i have got a pcmcia card from us robotics USR5411 .. but i think this one is more difficult to install i suppose [19:43] so the first module is WL-608 BL - Wireless USB Adapter 54g by sitecom [19:44] <_Techie_> have you tried ndiswrapper? [19:45] but as i am linux newbe... i am not sure if id did everything right [19:45] :/ [19:46] <_Techie_> what steps have you tried so far? [19:46] well i successfully installed the ndiswrapper [19:46] windows wlan support [19:47] then i loaded the .inf file [19:47] which was successful [19:47] but [19:47] the device wasn't found [19:47] <_Techie_> have you removed and re inserted the device? [19:47] yes! [19:48] and i also rebooted twice [19:48] <_Techie_> that answers that question [19:48] why? [19:48] <_Techie_> i was about to ask if yuou had tried rebooting [19:49] ah ok =) [19:49] well first of all thank you for responding to my issue!! [19:50] <_Techie_> no problem, unfortunately i cant really help too much as i have had no experience with ndiswrapper, i anything i suggest is just a stab [19:50] <_Techie_> so* [19:50] yepp thank u anyways... u are certainlky more experienced than me. as it is the first time i try a linux os [19:51] <_Techie_> the other alternative is to install the chipset drivers [19:51] difficult? [19:51] <_Techie_> there should be guides [19:52] ok. i just ask u directly, is there any chance of similar linux OS, that could find the wifi drivers automatically? [19:53] <_Pete_> madddd223: sure, do your own distribution [19:53] :D [19:53] <_Techie_> madddd223, http://www.ralinktech.com/license_us.php?n=2&p=0&t=U0wyRnpjMlYwY3k4eU1EQTVMekE0THpJMEwyUnZkMjVzYjJGa01ERTFPVGs0TmpRMk1DNWllakk5UFQweU1EQTVYekE0TWpCZlVsUXlPRGN3WDB4cGJuVjRYMU5VUVY5V01pNHlMakF1TUM1MFlYST1D [19:56] ok thank u so far... what will be further proceeding? [19:56] <_Techie_> not sure, i havent bothered to go past that page [19:58] i just downloaded "2009_0820_RT2870_Linux_STA_V2.2.0.0.tar.bz2" [20:00] <_Techie_> you will want to unpack that file [20:01] sure. but is it the right chipset? [20:01] or should i just give it a try [20:01] <_Techie_> it should be, i would normally check a lspci but i already know that sitecom have masked the chipset name [20:01] <_Techie_> lsusb* [20:02] <_Techie_> anyone wanna buy me one of these? http://www.einfo.co.nz/shop/product_info.php?products_id=10240 [20:02] Is there a way to revert my computer to the state it was, say, yesterday? I cant find anything about it anywhere, strangely enough [20:03] <_Techie_> marten_, as far as i know, *buntu doesnt have any time machine software or system restore [20:03] How sad [20:04] The update to 9.10 didn't go as smoothly as I hoped [20:04] <_Techie_> haha, join the club [20:04] techie.. thank you so far... i will give it a try [20:05] My laptop isn't a laptop anymore, since I need to use an external mouse. No sound either, for that matter [20:05] I could of course use Vista, but i rather not [20:06] <_Techie_> marten_, sounds more like a brick [20:06] <_Techie_> marten_, and if you install vista it will become a cement truck [20:06] I dualboot, so its already there [20:07] <_Techie_> why not dualboot XP [20:07] The updater said something about a partial installation of upgrades. Is there any way to see if I got everything intended? [20:08] Great, the colors are wrong playing videos [20:10] I dont have XP on disc, unfortunately [20:15] Otherwise, is there a way to run the 9.10-update again? [20:17] <_Techie_> marten_, im not entirely sure but perhaps sudo apt-get upgrade or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade might do the trick [20:17] Will try [20:18] No [20:18] It seems to think that everything is there [20:18] I will have to fix this another day [20:18] Thanks for everything [20:48] _Techie_wauup [20:48] wassup i meant [20:49] I followed the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch but I don't get a boot menu like on the offical liveCD how can I get a boot menu not a prompt? [20:50] same here! [20:50] i think we have to go into bios and change the boot order? [20:50] no [20:50] I can get the disc to boot [20:50] i cannot [20:50] but can't get a menu [20:50] then yes [20:50] you have to go to BIOS [20:50] I test in Vbox [20:51] hmmmm...didnt want to mess around in there, this particular computer has a nice xp install on it [20:52] when i go in, it tap f2 a lot to get a menu? [20:52] then boot off CD [20:53] can i boot off cd without messin round in bios? [20:53] depends [20:53] do i start by tapping f2 or f12 [20:53] just change the boot order [20:53] I use Vbox to test CD before burn [20:53] depends [20:53] i already burned it so i got what i got now [20:54] I don't know your BIOS/computer so I can't help with BIOS specific problems [20:55] weel i have a few of these and they all booted ubuntu stuff before no prob [20:55] but they were clean before i booted buntu..the hd had been wiped clean [20:55] this has xp on it [20:56] wait [20:56] what exactly is your problem? [20:57] i put cd in trey (one i just made of xubuntu) and am trying to run xubuntu fro the cd...in my xp computer and have not been able to get it going as of yet [20:57] want to run a live cd as they say without touching-harming xp [20:57] <_Techie_> alienkid10, try re installing grub, i have had similar problems in persistant USB installs where grub defaults to its command line [20:57] how? [20:58] on the CD? [20:58] <_Techie_> yeah [20:58] (.iso) [20:58] <_Techie_> there should be a command grub-install [20:58] !it [20:58] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [20:58] in a chroot? [20:58] bene!! [20:59] <_Techie_> Balsaq, run the wubi installer, install it inside of windows then you can remove it at your will [21:00] oh ok...thought i could just toss it in t here and run it [21:00] <_Techie_> yeah you can, but the wubi install will give a faster system than a livecd [21:00] just wanted too see if i burned it correctly...made it for my sister [21:01] already have a nice xubu set up in the basement [21:01] when i burned it i chose ISO image and set my burn speed to 8x [21:02] so hopefully thats correct [21:02] I ran grub-install in chroot now resquash and iso? [21:12] _Techie_? [21:12] <_Techie_> huh [21:12] I ran grub-install in chroot now resquash and iso? [21:12] <_Techie_> i would think so [21:12] <_Techie_> the other alternative is syslinux [21:13] whoops [21:13] <_Techie_> http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/The_Syslinux_Project [21:13] I think I am using isolinux [21:14] <_Techie_> then read up on this [21:14] <_Techie_> http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/ISOLINUX [21:14] y tree is: casper install and isolinux [21:14] so yeah [21:15] where do I get isolinux.bin and .cfg? [21:16] <_Techie_> no clue, never worked with isolinux other than booting livecd's [21:16] <_Techie_> you might want to look for some more help in #syslinux [21:17] ok
