| hmagoo | hello, is it possible to keep a USB 2,0 external drive to be the same /dev regardless of what other media is connected to USB upon reboot? | 00:08 |
|---|---|---|
| hmagoo | question answered, in #ubuntu, ty | 00:26 |
| duelle | i'm trying to execute a program from the terminal and i keep getting "No such file or directory" | 04:08 |
| duelle | also, i can't cd into the folder and get the same error | 04:08 |
| duelle | apparently this happens with any file i create | 04:10 |
| mizery | I installed xubuntu on my roommate's computer. Her computer has a Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device. Her desktop environment locks up randomly. I am able to reboot her pc remotely via ssh. I `tail -f /var/log/syslog` hoping to notice some kind of error that was output showing why the desktop environment was locking up, keyboard no longer functioning, but the log file showed nothing | 04:13 |
| __Techie__ | duelle, make sure all files and folders have the apropriate permissions | 04:13 |
| mizery | Her computer suffered the same issue with ubuntu, linux mint, opensuse, mandriva and other distros too, so I'm certain it is related to her gpu/driver. | 04:13 |
| duelle | everything has read/write permissions | 04:14 |
| duelle | i've tried the folders that are automatically in the home folder (pictures, downloads, etc) | 04:14 |
| duelle | and can't cd into them either | 04:14 |
| duelle | everything looks fine in the file manager, though | 04:15 |
| __Techie__ | so you are unable to cd into any folders? | 04:17 |
| Hermitcrab | Hi everyone! | 04:18 |
| Hermitcrab | New to Linux, cannot set the volume for sound, any tips? | 04:18 |
| duelle | okay, i've somehow got into the right folder but it still claims the file is not there | 04:19 |
| duelle | it seems when i open a terminal in my home folder i can't cd into any folder inside it | 04:20 |
| __Techie__ | are you sure that its your own home folder | 04:20 |
| duelle | if i open a terminal in my home folder i get duelle@ubuntu:~$. if do cd /home/duelle i get the same and can't cd into any folder in /home/duelle | 04:22 |
| mizery | When my roommate's computer's desktop environment freezes (keyboard doesn't function, mouse clicking doesn't function, but can still move mouse cursor), how can I restart gdm instead of rebooting? `restart gdm` doesn't seem to work. I will post error next chance I have to execute it. | 04:22 |
| duelle | if i do cd /home/duelle/appfolder i get in to the folder but it still says the file i want to execute doesn't exist | 04:22 |
| __Techie__ | mizery, enabling zapping in your xorg.conf would be the easiest wya of restarting GDM | 04:23 |
| __Techie__ | how are you executing the application? | 04:24 |
| mizery | __Techie__: hmm, xubuntu doesn't come with an xorg.conf by default. How can I create one besides writing from scratch? | 04:24 |
| __Techie__ | mizery, not sure | 04:24 |
| duelle | sudo ./app | 04:24 |
| __Techie__ | duelle, try sudo sh app | 04:24 |
| duelle | 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected | 04:25 |
| __Techie__ | then theres a problem with the app | 04:26 |
| duelle | i guess i'll ask around their forums | 04:26 |
| duelle | thanks | 04:26 |
| __Techie__ | you might be interested in the make command | 04:26 |
| mizery | __Techie__: 'zapping' is useless, because the keyboard doesn't function (e.g. caps lock doesn't toggle led light even) | 04:27 |
| mizery | __Techie__: the keyboard functions normally, but then the desktop environment fails, only the mouse cursor can be moved, no clicks work either | 04:28 |
| mizery | then==when | 04:28 |
| __Techie__ | so https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap is of now use then? | 04:28 |
| mizery | __Techie__: We'll see. My roommate configured zapping and it works. We will test it next time her keyboard doesn't function again. | 04:33 |
| __Techie__ | you also might want to try a few different methods | 04:37 |
| mizery | How can I install libstdc++5 even though libstdc++6 is latest version? | 05:48 |
| mizery | I suppose it's not possible? | 06:04 |
| Balsaq | yo _Techie_ ! | 06:19 |
| Balsaq | a pair a _Techie_ 's ? | 06:32 |
| mizery | __Techie__ / _Techie_ : When the keyboard locks up, ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't zap X as I expected. | 06:33 |
| Balsaq | who is the real _Techie_ ? yo _Techie! | 06:33 |
| mizery | Is there a gui to configure network ip address from xfce? i can't find one. | 07:03 |
| Gotanks | hi | 09:40 |
| Gotanks | that is all | 09:41 |
| Alexandra | i need a random wallpapers desktop app | 12:09 |
| Alexandra | what app? | 12:09 |
| Alexandra | I use Xubuntu 9.10 | 12:10 |
| Wistful | how do I change runlevels in Xubuntu ? | 12:27 |
| Divinus | Hi folks, anyone familiar with rigging older AMDs to work with the new 9.10 release? :) | 12:30 |
| === Wistful is now known as CyberArch | ||
| CyberArch | when I do sudo service gdm stop it tells me initctl: unknown instance why ?? | 12:36 |
| User3k | Did I finally get this set up right? | 17:24 |
| User3k | Cool, lol | 17:25 |
| Xion-M | Is it as exciting as you thought? heh. | 17:52 |
| flix | hi @ all | 18:29 |
| flix | i got a little problem and wonder if anybody can help me | 18:29 |
| Sysi | ask | 18:30 |
| flix | I am running 9.10 xubuntu on an ibm thinkpad (x31) and i am missing my windowbuttons when I max a window | 18:30 |
| flix | i mean the buttons in the upper right corner to max and min the windows | 18:32 |
| flix | i would be very glad if anybody has a clue how to get this fixed | 18:34 |
| Chri1 | hey there | 18:53 |
| Xion-M | hello | 18:53 |
| Chri1 | is this the right place for xubuntu support? | 18:53 |
| Xion-M | i believe so, | 18:54 |
| Chri1 | as I installed xubuntu everything was fine with xfce | 18:55 |
| Chri1 | but now xfce tries to run my display with a resolution of 1600*x - thats too much | 18:56 |
| Chri1 | how can i "reset" the settings or something like that via terminal/console? | 18:56 |
| likemindead | Have you tried Display under Settings, Chri1? | 18:57 |
| Chri1 | I can't use my graphical frontend because of that | 18:57 |
| Chri1 | If I try to log in via graphical interface it doesn't work | 18:58 |
| Chri1 | so I can't change my display under settings | 18:59 |
| likemindead | Ah. | 18:59 |
| likemindead | You need to create a xorg.conf it would seem. | 18:59 |
| Ov3rf10w | try to edit xorg.conf | 19:00 |
| Chri1 | sorry, it is a little bit strange - I tried to log in again - and now - it works fine... | 19:00 |
| Chri1 | no idea why.. | 19:01 |
| Ov3rf10w | lol | 19:01 |
| Chri1 | thanks a lot for your time | 19:01 |
| likemindead | Glad to help. What's your graphics hardware? | 19:01 |
| Chri1 | you mean my display? | 19:02 |
| likemindead | No, your graphics card or chipset. | 19:03 |
| likemindead | Run "lspci" in a terminal. | 19:03 |
| Chri1 | nVidia GeForce 2 MX | 19:04 |
| Chri1 | is that what you mean? | 19:04 |
| Ov3rf10w | Chri1, do you have installed driver for your graph card? | 19:04 |
| likemindead | Yeah, Chri1. Did you install the "restricted" driver? | 19:05 |
| Chri1 | where can I see if I have installed a driver? | 19:05 |
| Chri1 | me not | 19:05 |
| Ov3rf10w | system -> hardware drivers | 19:05 |
| Chri1 | perhaps the autoconifg at installation time | 19:05 |
| Chri1 | no, no restricted driver | 19:06 |
| Chri1 | or proprietary driver | 19:07 |
| Chri1 | do you think I should install a nv driver? | 19:07 |
| Ov3rf10w | did you see any driver? | 19:07 |
| Xion-M | is there a way to open a folder a root, like /var/www without having to chmod it? | 19:07 |
| Ov3rf10w | in hardware drivers | 19:07 |
| Xion-M | as root* | 19:08 |
| Chri1 | no, no drivers | 19:08 |
| Chri1 | sudo | 19:08 |
| Chri1 | @ xion | 19:08 |
| Xion-M | yes, but without terminal | 19:08 |
| Ov3rf10w | Xion-M, sudo thunar | 19:08 |
| Xion-M | ok, | 19:08 |
| Xion-M | thanks. | 19:09 |
| Chri1 | @Ov3rf10w To install a new driver is not my first priority - if my x11/xfce just works (as it does at the moment) | 19:10 |
| flix | I am running 9.10 xubuntu on an ibm thinkpad (x31) and i am missing my windowbuttons when I max a window | 19:32 |
| flix | i mean the buttons in the upper right corner to max and min the windows | 19:32 |
| flix | i would be very glad if anybody has a clue how to get this fixed | 19:32 |
| _Techie_ | flix, when you maximize windows, are the title bars still visible? | 20:02 |
| Xion-M | looks like he didnt want it fixed that bad. | 20:03 |
| _Techie_ | nah | 20:03 |
| knome | who cares about working system anyway | 20:03 |
| Xion-M | ? | 20:04 |
| knome | sarcasm. | 20:04 |
| Xion-M | ahh | 20:04 |
| Xion-M | gotcha. | 20:04 |
| _Techie_ | hrmm, im bored im gonna re install my graphcis drivers | 20:13 |
| * nwadawg bored, rewriting conkys | 20:23 | |
| Xion-M | anyone use any lighter weight browser than firefox? | 20:28 |
| _Techie_ | Xion-M, if you after a really light weight browser, try lynx | 20:28 |
| TheSheep | Xion-M: try chromium | 20:29 |
| Xion-M | isnt lynx pretty much text only? | 20:29 |
| TheSheep | Xion-M: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa | 20:29 |
| _Techie_ | Xion-M, lynx is text only, i recently wok up so im kinda being a major douchebag | 20:31 |
| Xion-M | heh, its cool, at least you were honest | 20:35 |
| Xion-M | i got it anyways just to see how some stuff displayed | 20:35 |
| _Techie_ | anyway, im gonna have a shower and once i get back ill be the regular techie that people know and love | 20:36 |
| rcscomp | I am setting up an xfce desktop. Is there a panel applet for monitoring disk activity? I have one for monitoring CPU activity that works well. | 21:18 |
