[00:03] <netsb> ok i'm finding out that it might be because i changed the screen resolution, but i can't find /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:04] <netsb> what is it in xubuntu?
[00:05] <netsb> man why is this so hard to google
[00:05] <netsb> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does nothing :(
[00:05] <knome> netsb, which login splash screen do you mean?
[00:06] <netsb> the normal one?
[00:06] <netsb> the gnome one i guess
[00:06] <knome> what is in it?
[00:07] <netsb> when i click my username, the password box comes up like it usually does
[00:07] <knome> yes?
[00:07] <netsb> and then when i put in my password the screen flashes and then goes back to my login
[00:07] <netsb> now im reading that it's a problem with the screen resolution, but i can't figure out how to change the resolution from terminal
[00:07] <knome> !resolution
[00:07] <netsb> wow thanks.
[00:38] <starscream> I have xubuntu running on virtualbox, and it won't give me any resolutions higher than 800x600
[00:38] <starscream> i can't figure out how to fix it
[00:39] <netsb> yeah i can't get this working
[00:39] <starscream> it needs to be 1280x800
[00:40] <starscream> :/
[00:45] <Traveler> hi guys
[00:46] <Guest38440> would it be possible to boot the xubuntu install from 1 computer, install on a hard drive using usb-ide adapter, and put the drive back in it's original motherboard?
[00:46] <knome> starscream, you need to install guest additions into your xubuntu vboc installation
[00:46] <knome> Guest38440, why not?
[00:47] <NightsB> would that really work? i know that doesn't work with windows
[00:47] <Guest38440> i am mainly a windows user, but i want to revive an old pc.  i know such would be a proble with windows.
[00:49] <knome> it should not be a problem with linux
[00:49] <knome> the only thing i can think of is changed uuid, but that can also be fixed.
[00:53] <Guest38440> how so?
[00:54] <knome> ubuntu mounts disks by uuid.
[00:55] <Guest38440> what is uuid?
[00:56] <knome> it is an unique id for a device.
[00:56] <Guest38440> and this is fixed how?
[00:57] <knome> changing the uuid in fstab, if it happens to be different in the other machine
[00:57] <knome> !fstab | Guest38440
[00:57] <knome> Guest38440, if you don't know at all what you are doing, i suggest you try a different approach.
[01:00] <Guest38440> the laptop i am trying to install on has no cd-rom drive, and can only boot floppies, and through FLoP, can boot usb.
[01:00] <knome> !usb | Guest38440
[01:07] <Guest38440> this laptop only has usb 1.0, so it takes ~45 mins to go from the language to time zone screen.  it is driving me crazy, and i have a much better computer which i would like to act as a host.  do you think using a usb adapter would change the uuid?
[01:08] <knome> Guest38440, sorry, i don't understand what you mean.
[01:09] <Guest38440> i have an idea.  hook up the laptop's drive via usb on my good computer, install, boot puppy linux on the laptop, find the laptop hard drive's uuid, and correct it in fstab
[01:09] <knome> Guest38440, that would work. but as i said, there might not even be that problem.
[01:13] <Guest38440> ok
[01:16] <[1]joes7> I need help please
[01:16] <knome> !ask | [1]joes7
[01:17] <[1]joes7> I have burnt the Xubuntu alternate ISO using Infra Recorder, but when I click on my CD on my pc it will only show xubuntu folders. How do I access the installation?
[01:17] <knome> [1]joes7, the alternate ISO is not an *installed* system.
[01:18] <knome> [1]joes7, it is an installation disk, which you have to put in your drive when you boot your pc
[01:18] <[1]joes7> How do I install xubuntu then, wubi installer takes too long and wont work
[01:18] <[1]joes7> how do i do that?
[01:18] <knome> [1]joes7, put the CD in, and boot.
[01:18] <[1]joes7> Boot what? I'm sorry
[01:18] <knome> boot/restart your computer
[01:19] <[1]joes7> Ok. what's next?
[01:19] <[1]joes7> do I have to change the BIOS order, or something?
[01:19] <knome> well, follow the instructions. as a sidenote, the normal cd would be better to install with, since you can use livecd to test if your hardware works with it. it also has the graphical installer.
[01:20] <Sememmon> hooray for livecds!
[01:20] <knome> [1]joes7, yes, if your CD drive is not higher priority than your HD.
[01:20] <[1]joes7> Do I change the BIOS order or something?
[01:20] <[1]joes7> Ok.
[01:20] <[1]joes7> I am currently running windows xp
[01:20] <[1]joes7> How can I get the livecd?
[01:20] <knome> [1]joes7, are you going to replace windows?
[01:21] <[1]joes7> Yes
[01:21] <[1]joes7> I hate it.
[01:21] <knome> [1]joes7, download the normal ISO and burn it to a CD
[01:21] <[1]joes7> Ok.
[01:21] <knome> [1]joes7, after that, follow the same steps: insert cd into drive and boot :)
[01:21] <[1]joes7> Should the cd run an EXE or something?
[01:22] <knome> uhm, no
[01:22] <[1]joes7> But, can't I install it using Wubi if I already have the ISO file>
[01:22] <[1]joes7> ?
[01:23] <knome> i don't know about wubi a lot, but wubi installation doesn't completely *replace* windows
[01:23] <[1]joes7> I know.
[01:23] <[1]joes7> But can I use wubi with my iso?
[01:24] <knome> better refer to some wubi documentation:
[01:24] <knome> !wubi | [1]joes7
[01:25] <knome> [1]joes7, probably also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
[01:34] <[1]joes7> Can I install the xubuntu alternate ISO on virtual box?
[01:34] <knome> [1]joes7, sure.
[01:34] <[1]joes7> Great
[01:34] <[1]joes7> Thanks
[01:35] <[1]joes7> xubuntu rocks!
[01:36] <knome> great to hear. have fun
[01:37] <[1]joes7> thanks
[01:37] <[1]joes7> oh, can anyone give me general pc support?
[01:37] <knome> well, you can try
[01:38] <[1]joes7> my pc keeps making this ticking noise, and shuts down whenever it feels like doing it.
[01:38] <[1]joes7> i have cleaned it completely, and still this happens
[01:38] <knome> does it run horribly hot?
[01:39] <[1]joes7> Not that I have noticed, my room is quite fresh, so I don't think that it is due to overheating
[01:39] <knome> okay. maybe some faulty hardware?
[01:39] <knome> (is the pc old?)
[01:39] <[1]joes7> maybe
[01:39] <[1]joes7> nop
[01:40] <[1]joes7> Oh, one more question. (just curious again) how do I run the xubuntu alternate iso?
[01:41] <knome> like the normal one; insert disk and boot your computer
[01:42] <[1]joes7> I burnt the disk using Infra Recorder. I restarted windows and still I dont know how.
[01:43] <[1]joes7> When I launch my cd on windows, it only shows me the xubuntu folders
[01:43] <[1]joes7> I would like to multiboot it with windows
[01:43] <knome> [1]joes7, so are you planning a dualboot installation, or replace windows with xubuntu, like you said earlier?
[01:44] <[1]joes7> Yes
[01:44] <knome> yes for which one? :D
[02:06] <hi-sarah> how do i get pidgeon going so i can do messenger?
[02:06] <hi-sarah> i am a newbie
[02:11] <JerVA> Hello I have a question about xubuntu
[02:12] <JerVA> Is xubuntu the best OS compared with ubuntu? I have 512 MB ram so I am considering switching from ubuntu to xubuntu
[02:19] <knome> JerVA, yes, xubuntu will probably run more smoothly.
[02:20] <JerVA> Okay. I got the same response from another user - said that 512 MB ram will run smoothly on xubuntu than ubuntu
[02:20] <JerVA> now I'm going to burn ISO
[02:22] <knome> JerVA, you don't have to
[02:22] <knome> JerVA, just install the xubuntu-desktop package
[02:22] <JerVA> yeah
[02:22] <knome> JerVA, and if you at any point want to remove any "ubuntu desktop" packages, see:
[02:22] <knome> !purexfce
[02:22] <JerVA> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-package
[02:23] <knome> JerVA, xubuntu-desktop ;)
[02:23] <JerVA> Yup!
[02:23] <JerVA> Got it that will be better than burning ISO
[02:23] <knome> sure, a lot faster
[02:25] <JerVA> brb I'm going to try this
[02:41] <joshritger> what package do I install to get the network manager and sound manager xubuntu uses?
[02:41] <joshritger> and terminal
[02:43] <knome> joshritger, i suggest you should install xubuntu-desktop
[02:44] <joshritger> knome: it takes up too much resources, I have xfce4 installed and running I just need the sound manager, terminal, and network manager
[02:44] <knome> with sound manager, what do you mean?
[02:45] <joshritger> knome: I need something to control the sound, there is nothing currently to control the sound
[02:46] <knome> joshritger, xfce4-terminal, xfce4-mixer, network-manager-gnome
[02:47] <joshritger> Knome: I have tried installing xubuntu and everything works, but just runs really slow on this particular computer, I installed xfce4 after a command line install and it seems to not be as bloated
[02:47] <joshritger> thanks
[03:10] <JerVA> I got the xubuntu running successfully
[03:10] <JerVA> it's smooth so far - anybody here have wine experience with xubuntu?
[03:10] <knome> some
[03:11] <JerVA> I got the error message - said that wine 1.2 is broken package
[03:19] <dpb1> howdy; is there a mini.iso available for xubuntu?
[03:20] <dpb1> i saw some mention that one could use ubuntu's mini.iso to install xubuntu, but not a lot of hard details
[03:20] <knome> dpb1, minimal image is the same for ubuntu derivatives.
[03:20] <knome> dpb1, the mini.iso doesn't install any packages (eg. DE) by default, so it's not any "derivative" by default
[03:21] <knome> dpb1, what you install is what is becomes.
[03:21] <dpb1> ok, so if i basically just install xubuntu-desktop, i'll be good?
[03:21] <JerVA> I am not sure what to do with broken package of wine 1.2
[03:21] <JerVA> how do I repair broken package in xubuntu?
[03:21] <joshritger> dpb1: I just installed xfce4 after a cli install from a mini iso
[03:21] <knome> dpb1, that would be the same as installing xubuntu from the xubuntu disk, yes.
[03:21] <dpb1> ok, great!  thanks
[03:21] <knome> JerVA, can you pastebin the complete error message?
[03:22] <knome> !pastebin | JerVA
[03:23] <JerVA> http://paste.ubuntu.com/336287/
[03:23] <JerVA> here is the link
[03:24] <knome> just a moment
[03:25] <knome> JerVA, what does 'sudo apt-get check' say in terminal?
[03:26] <JerVA> Reading package lists... Done
[03:26] <JerVA> Building dependency tree
[03:26] <JerVA> Reading state information... Done
[03:26] <JerVA> that's all
[03:26] <knome> hmm
[03:27] <knome> sudo apt-get upgrade ?
[03:28] <JerVA> done with upgrade
[03:28] <JerVA> just now
[03:28] <knome> try to install wine again
[03:28] <JerVA> same message :)
[03:28] <JerVA> :(
[03:30] <knome> JerVA, sudo apt-get install wine1.2 ?
[03:30] <JerVA> interesting it is now installing
[03:30] <JerVA> is it a bug?
[03:30] <knome> probably not.
[03:31] <knome> just some issue.
[03:31] <knome> after the 1.2 package is installed, try installing the wine package
[03:32] <JerVA> It is now working
[03:32] <JerVA> no need to install wine
[03:32] <JerVA> I appreciate it, thanks!
[03:32] <knome> i'd like you to try installing it
[03:32] <knome> if you mind
[03:32] <JerVA> it still say the same message but I checked on Applications>Other
[03:32] <JerVA> Wine1.2 is up and running
[03:32] <JerVA> weird
[03:32] <knome> JerVA, try sudo apt-get install wine -f
[03:33] <JerVA> same thing
[03:33] <knome> okay
[03:33] <knome> weird
[03:34] <Guest91072> hi

[17:12] <yesitisjustme> xubuntu 9.10 doesn't have disk utility?
[17:14] <h3x> yesitisjustme, there is brasero
[17:15] <yesitisjustme> brasero is a burning program isn't  it
[17:16] <yesitisjustme> i mean this ---> Palimpsest Disk Utility
[17:16] <yesitisjustme> it test harddrive
[17:17] <vanPelt> hi
[17:18] <charlie-tca> yesitisjustme: I show it as part of the gnome-disk-utility package
[17:18] <yesitisjustme> i see
[17:32] <h3x> i want to mount cdrom but this http://xubuntu.pastebin.com/f10cfb69e kind of error is shown can anyone explain me why? :/
[17:34] <charlie-tca> what kind of cd is in the drive? Is the drive a cd-rw drive?
[17:41] <h3x> charlie-tca, it's cd-r
[17:42] <h3x> charlie-tca, dirve is dvd-r
[17:42] <h3x> dvd-rw
[17:46] <charlie-tca> looks to be missing some parameters then. It is trying to mount it as an already recorded cd-r, not a blank
[17:47] <charlie-tca> it does not recognize anything on the cd
[17:47] <charlie-tca> Perhaps a cd-r that has been recorded wrong or never closed after it was recorded?
[17:47] <h3x> charlie-tca, but it isn't blank
[17:48] <h3x> charlie-tca, maybe it's not closed
[17:48] <h3x> charlie-tca, it's burned on windows box i guess.
[17:48] <charlie-tca> Recorded in a different country format than the format the dvd is in
[17:48] <charlie-tca> maybe?
[17:49] <h3x> charlie-tca, country format?
[17:49] <h3x> charlie-tca, what's it?
[17:49] <charlie-tca> dvd players are set for the region.
[17:49] <charlie-tca> It may be trying to tell you the region is wrong
[17:50] <h3x> charlie-tca, oh no cd disk contains files it's not movie or such..
[17:50] <charlie-tca> hmmm
[17:50] <charlie-tca> back to the closed thing, maybe
[17:51] <charlie-tca> windows doesn't always close the recording properly
[17:51] <h3x> charlie-tca, can't i mount unclosed diks?
[17:51] <h3x> disks*
[17:51] <charlie-tca> no
[17:51] <charlie-tca> not a cd-r
[17:52] <charlie-tca> there is no way for xubuntu/brassero to know what is on it, except to see it is not blank.
[17:53] <h3x> so only solutionis to open it with windows? :|
[17:53] <charlie-tca> at least, as far as I know
[17:54] <charlie-tca> also, sometimes, it is the player itself. The laser doesn't always hit right, and can't read what a different player wrote
[17:54] <charlie-tca> and sometimes, it is me. I might be way wrong...
[17:56] <h3x> charlie-tca, ok thanks..
[17:57] <charlie-tca> Hope it helps a little, anyway
[17:58] <charlie-tca> I did have one burner, anything I burned on it was only readable on it.
[18:33] <yesitisjustme> when i click the on gsmartcontrol nothing happens the only way i am able to run it is in terminal.
[18:33] <yesitisjustme> anyone know why?
[18:37] <vik> Hello, I am using dwa-110 usb wireless adapter from d-link. It uses rt73usb driver but it seems I am having some problems with wireless. Will using ndiswrapper help in any way? How to avoid any conflicts with rt73usb? Thanks, I really need help her
[18:43] <likemindead> http://lmgtfy.com/?q=rt73usb+Karmic | vik, looks like a pain. :-\
[18:55] <vik> likemindead, thanks, I am googling it for weeks though, I cannot really find a sulution. It seems to be a problem indeed
[18:58] <likemindead> This for a laptop or desktop, vik?
[18:58] <vik> laptop
[18:58] <likemindead> Either way, I'd just buy a cheap Linux-friendly wireless card on eBay.
[18:58] <likemindead> Does the laptop have a mini-PCI port?
[18:59] <vik> likemindead, I've read that this one works out of the box on karmic
[18:59] <vik> It does, but terribly
[18:59] <likemindead> http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?LH_BIN=1&LH_IncludeSIF=1&_nkw=Intel+PRO+2200&_trksid=p3286.c0.m301
[18:59] <likemindead> That's what I did. :D
[18:59] <vik> likemindead, It has a pci port, not mini, normal one
[19:01] <vik> likemindead, thanks. Anyway, would you recommed using ndiswrapper, or does it create problems
[19:03] <likemindead> I've always avoided ndiswrapper, but know many who use it successfully.
[19:09] <AgentChieftain> hey guys, i need a quick and easy favor
[19:09] <AgentChieftain> i'm editing fstab to get a thumb drive to work for me, but the tutorial says to use gedit and i'm using mousepad
[19:09] <AgentChieftain> http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=34280
[19:10] <AgentChieftain> theyre saying to remove the last line, but there are some spaces in the file which makes me think it could be a different line
[19:11] <charlie-tca> Should not matter what editor you use, the last line will still be the last line
[19:11] <AgentChieftain> ah, alright
[19:11] <AgentChieftain> thanks
[19:14] <AgentChieftain> good thing its not like notepad/wordpad
[19:15] <charlie-tca> yeah
[19:32] <hagg> hi, i have a problem with libnotify-notifications in xfce. they are shown correctly (i think, accourding to the design specs), but they ignore the given timeout, either when invoking by notify-send from cli, or using a python script with python-notify
[19:33] <hagg> i recognized that there is a xfce4-notifyd, but that conflicts with notify-osd, which is recommended by xubuntu-desktop
[19:35] <hagg> its very annoying if there are a dozen messages in the notification queue, shown one-after-one each for the full 10s (i think)
[19:37] <hagg> is there some kind of workaround for that problem?
[19:58] <charlie-tca> hagg
[19:58] <charlie-tca> hagg: I think that is the way it is designed
[20:09] <hagg> thx. i found a discussion thread some minutes ago about it, i think you're right. its a pity. i'm just removing notify-osd and installing notification-daemon...
