[08:39] <ghostnik11> Hi I need help with xubuntu 9.10
[08:39] <ghostnik11> i read on the xubuntu site that i could come here for help
[08:40] <psycho_oreos> !ask | ghostnik11
[08:41] <ghostnik11> thanks
[08:42] <ghostnik11> okay so I installed xubuntu 9.10 on a toshiba satellite 1005-s157 laptop and know for some reason after just installing when i select xubuntu 9.10 at grub i then get a black screen and can't see anything but know for a fact that xubuntu 9.10 is loading
[08:43] <psycho_oreos> so you still get login screen and all after a black screen?
[08:43] <ghostnik11> so I wanted to know how I could get rid of this black screen problem
[08:43] <ghostnik11> nope no login screen
[08:43] <ghostnik11> after grub it just goes black
[08:43] <psycho_oreos> it could be acpi issue
[08:43] <psycho_oreos> you could try appending noacpi and/or acpi=off
[08:44] <ghostnik11> okay how do i do that
[08:45] <psycho_oreos> when grub says hit Esc to show menu, hit escape, choose the kernel, I think e is to edit.. hit edit when you select kernel line and then at the end of that line add noacpi
[08:49] <ghostnik11> nope added noacpi and it did not work when i pressed ctrl x to boot, still got black screen.  I will know press ctrl alt backspace then ctrl alt del to reboot and try acpi=off
[08:51] <ghostnik11> still won't work, still get black screen
[08:51] <psycho_oreos> hmm
[08:52] <psycho_oreos> if you could somehow obtain the dmesg output, that would be handy
[08:52] <psycho_oreos> I suppose xubuntu is setup on ext4?
[08:52] <ghostnik11> yeah i think so
[08:53] <ghostnik11> i have puppy linux installed also and when i select that at grub it boots fine
[08:53] <psycho_oreos> I'm suspecting its the driver issue
[08:54] <ghostnik11> what do you mean?
[08:54] <psycho_oreos> err video chipset
[08:54] <ghostnik11> yeah but b/4 i installed
[08:54] <psycho_oreos> what xubuntu 9.10 and that it worked?
[08:55] <ghostnik11> i made sure i made a copy of an xorg.conf file from ubuntu 5.10 and then placed it in etc/X11 then told it to install thinking that my videocard and everything on the xorg.conf would be installed also
[08:56] <psycho_oreos> it isn't that
[08:57] <psycho_oreos> if its not working after grub, it may also mean something to do with the kernel based driver of the video chip
[08:57] <ghostnik11> is there a way for me to fix that
[08:58] <psycho_oreos> I'd find out the video chipset on that laptop, and paste the info into google
[08:59] <ghostnik11> i can post the actual xorg file that i have from ubuntu 5.10 b/c in it states my video card info
[09:00] <psycho_oreos> no, lspci output would be handy
[09:01] <ghostnik11> okay but then i would have to use lspci output in the command line of grub then
[09:01] <psycho_oreos> that won't work
[09:04] <ghostnik11> well there is no way for me to see the output through the laptop b/c it just shows a black screen
[09:07] <ghostnik11> i got an idea what if i run ubuntu 5.1 from live cd then go into terminal and type lspci get the output and save it then post it here
[09:07] <ghostnik11> would that work
[09:18] <ghostnik11> okay this is what i got from ubuntu 5.10
[09:18] <ghostnik11> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lspci

[10:05] <jason_> How come whenever I right-click an application it no longer gives me a context menu, but instead starts the program?
[12:55] <kill9> how do you pronounce 'xubuntu'
[12:55] <kill9> the same as 'kubuntu' ?
[12:56] <Sysi> i pronounce how i feel like.
[12:56] <TheSheep> zooboontoo
[12:56] <kill9> ah
[12:56] <kill9> cool thanks
[12:59] <nikolam> I like to say "Ksu" buntu ;)
[13:01] <TheSheep> depends on the language, I guess
[13:01] <TheSheep> in slovio x is ż :)
[13:01] <TheSheep> jooboontoo :)
[13:04] <kill9> there is no windowmaker on synaptic?
[13:04] <kill9> sudo apt-get install windowmaker says there is nothing there
[13:04] <kill9> :\ kinda weird?
[13:04] <kill9> openbox as well. not there.
[13:05] <TheSheep> !info wmaker
[13:05] <kill9> ah ok. thanks :)
[13:08] <kill9> goodnight
[13:57] <Sequeterox> after installing rhythmbox and removing it again totem stopped to play audio
[13:58] <Sequeterox> it requires gnome-media to play audio now
[13:59] <Sequeterox> will I need to use this package or is it possible to use xfce4-mixer instead, again?
[13:59] <Sequeterox> sorry for my bad english
[14:01] <Ov3rf10w> Sequeterox, install audacious and listen music
[14:01] <Sequeterox> Exaile works, I guess Audacious will work too
[14:01] <Sequeterox> it's only totem
[14:02] <Ov3rf10w> totem is for movies
[14:02] <Ov3rf10w> movie player
[14:03] <Sequeterox> Audacious doesn't work either, you are right
[14:03] <Sequeterox> Please check that:
[14:03] <Sequeterox> 1. You have the correct output plugin selected.
[14:03] <Sequeterox> 2. No other programs is blocking the soundcard.
[14:03] <Sequeterox> 3. Your soundcard is configured properly.
[14:04] <Sequeterox> as long as I use the PulseAudio-driver Audacious doesn't play music
[14:04] <Sequeterox> if I use ALSA, it does
[14:04] <Ov3rf10w> change to alsa
[14:06] <Sequeterox> do you mean in xfce4-mixer? it is set so alsa by default at my machine
[14:06] <Ov3rf10w> no on audacious
[14:06] <Sequeterox> yeah it works with alsa
[14:07] <Sequeterox> music is playing when I change PulseAudio-driver to alsa in audacious
[14:09] <Sequeterox> I guess that installing pulseaudio again could help, or am I wrong?
[14:15] <Sequeterox> pluseaudio wasn't even installed on my machine
[14:16] <Sequeterox> after installing it all applications that use alsa don't play audio anymore
[14:30] <Sequeterox> I installed pulseaudio and removed all packages that were installed after then
[14:31] <Sequeterox> now audio is playing in every player I use
[14:31] <Sequeterox> Ov3rf10w: thanks for the hint on pulseaudio
[15:42] <ljamisonii> hello everyone
[15:43] <Ov3rf10w> hello

[15:57] <hal__9001> good morning. can anyone recommend the bst antivirus for xubuntu?
[15:58] <Sysi> you don't need antivirus
[15:58] <Ov3rf10w> hal__9001, you don't need av
[15:58] <djura-san> use clamav
[15:58] <djura-san> or you can use avast or fprot
[15:59] <Sysi> ljamisonii: remove it from panel and then add again
[15:59] <djura-san> what kind of computer is running your xubuntu?
[15:59] <Ov3rf10w> djura-san, he don't need av on linux, only if shares files with windows
[15:59] <hal__9001> a toshiba laptop. 1.7ghz 2g ram
[15:59] <Ov3rf10w> slow cpu
[16:00] <Sysi> not if dual core
[16:00] <hal__9001> works for  me
[16:00] <djura-san> Ov3rf10w, that is not correct. If he has mail server than what?
[16:00] <djura-san> *if  he has
[16:00] <hal__9001> no mail server
[16:00] <Ov3rf10w> :D
[16:00] <pingo-> hi, does anybody know how to boot from a live-cd (xubuntu) , with mounting a swap partition on the HD
[16:00] <pingo-> ?
[16:01] <Sysi> for basic use your shouldn't use av
[16:01] <hal__9001> thanks for the info
[16:01] <ljamisonii> thanks Sysi
[16:01] <Sysi> pingo-: you can set it off after booting, would you need to do it before?
[16:01] <hal__9001> i wont be sharing files
[16:01] <aletheia84> i need help getting my maximum screen resolution changed in xubuntu 9.10, i used to be able to do it by editing the xorg.conf file
[16:02] <djura-san> hal__9001, you use linux for your personal pc?
[16:02] <djura-san> then there is no need for av
[16:02] <hal__9001> yes
[16:02] <hal__9001> linux is perfect for me
[16:02] <pingo-> sysi , how??? i need to resize one partition....
[16:03] <Sysi> pingo-: you can set swappiness of from gparted
[16:04] <hal__9001> thank you again
[16:04] <aletheia84> can someone please help me???
[16:04] <djura-san> hal__9001, i would suggest to use good firewall rules. explore that filed :)=
[16:04] <djura-san> *field
[16:04] <hal__9001> i have a firewall :)
[16:05] <Ov3rf10w> aletheia84, yea, you can edit xorg.conf
[16:05] <pingo-> it worked!!!! thx Sysi!
[16:05] <djura-san> hal__9001, is it configured right?
[16:06] <hal__9001> not sure of that.
[16:06] <aletheia84> I have been able to do that in the previous versions of ubuntu but it seem that in 9.10 there is no xorg.conf fil
[16:06] <aletheia84> *file
[16:06] <Ov3rf10w> no xorg.conf file?
[16:06] <Ov3rf10w> lol
[16:06] <Sysi> you can create it
[16:07] <aletheia84> the normal command "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" doesn't get me to it in 9.10
[16:07] <aletheia84> r u talking to me sysi
[16:07] <Sysi> yes
[16:07] <aletheia84> you have to create that file in 9.10
[16:07] <aletheia84> ??
[16:07] <Sysi> you need to create it from the empty but it works
[16:07] <Sysi> i think so
[16:07] <aletheia84> how?
[16:08] <Ov3rf10w> aletheia84, try with this sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[16:08] <Sysi> if you have xubuntu replace "gedit" with "mousepad" on command
[16:09] <aletheia84> I've tried that before the sudo reconfigure stuff and it didn't work
[16:09] <aletheia84> sysi why did the command change from gedit to mousepad?
[16:09] <Ov3rf10w> lol
[16:09] <Sysi> gedit don't come with xubuntu
[16:09] <Ov3rf10w> gedit is ubuntu text editor
[16:09] <Ov3rf10w> mouse pad is in xfce
[16:09] <Ov3rf10w> mousepad*
[16:10] <aletheia84> so gedit is a program?
[16:10] <Sysi> yes
[16:10] <Sysi> a text editor
[16:10] <aletheia84> sysi are you running Karmic??
[16:10] <aletheia84> and can you get to the xorg.conf file?
[16:11] <Sysi> no, it don't exist by default
[16:11] <Sysi> that's why you create it
[16:11] <aletheia84> how do i create it?
[16:11] <Sysi> it should be possible with that command
[16:12] <aletheia84> so i type "sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf"  ??
[16:12] <Sysi> it should work
[16:12] <aletheia84> now will that command create the file if it doesn't exist?
[16:13] <Sysi> i think it should
[16:13] <Sysi> but it's empty of course
[16:13] <aletheia84> ok, what do i put in the empty space then?
[16:13] <Ov3rf10w> aletheia84, i will send you my xorg.conf
[16:13] <aletheia84> thanks
[16:15] <Ov3rf10w> aletheia84, allow
[16:15] <Ov3rf10w> aletheia84, i try to send you file wia DCC
[16:16] <Ov3rf10w> xD
[16:18] <aletheia84> i did allow it and then nothing followed
[16:18] <Ov3rf10w> hmmm...

[16:43] <Paulcasals> hello
[16:44] <Paulcasals> I'm new to linux in general, and am running xubuntu currently on a netbook with no external memory. How would I go about searching if there is python installed?
[16:50] <likemindead> Paulcasals, you can look in Synaptic Package Manager or run "sudo apt-get install python" in a terminal.
[16:51] <Paulcasals> thank you
[16:52] <ron_o> I got a couple of programs that I no longer need, however, when I try to get rid of them *or* upgrade them, a host full of other apps are to be removed
[16:53] <ron_o> one programs is: libavutil-unstripped-49 (ffmpeg utility library - transitional package)
[16:53] <Sysi> well, it won't remove anything that is still needed
[16:53] <ron_o> and the other is: libavcodec-unstripped-52 (ffmpeg utility library - transitional package)
[16:53] <ron_o> I can't even upgrade it..
[16:54] <ron_o> when I try to remove either one then 20 or so other applications are to be removed with it.
[16:55] <ron_o> for synaptic it says: This package can be safely removed if no other packages depend on this
[16:55] <ron_o> weird stuff.
[16:55] <ron_o> and* when I try to upgrade it the same thing happens....
[16:59] <ron_o> I took the medibuntu repos out of synaptic and no longer have the problem.
[16:59] <ron_o> whatever. :)
[17:01] <ron_o> furthermore, somehow I got the karmic repository in my repo list and it's checked. I just unchecked that one and now it's OK. I never added that. :/
[17:02] <ron_o> it's fixed now.
[17:11] <Paulcasals> Where should I go for an easy to understand  tutorial for linux?
[17:12] <hal__9001> google search for; ubuntu pocket guide. free download
[17:12] <Paulcasals> k
[17:12] <hal__9001> thats one source
[17:13] <Paulcasals> I'll try that out. Thanks

[17:52] <DasBlub> hi. someone here who could help me with the nvidia drivers for geforce 9600m ? i got graphic-problems after installing them
[17:52] <DasBlub> oh... and my scren freezes after a while (just happened right now) :(
[17:52] <Sysi> how did you install them?
[17:53] <DasBlub> with apt, i took the 185 package
[17:53] <DasBlub> just rebooting, then i can tell you the exact name
[17:54] <DasBlub> nvidia-glx-185
[17:56] <Sysi> didn't it suggest automatically installing drivers on first boot?
[17:56] <DasBlub> uhm.. no?
[17:56] <DasBlub> well, it worked fine with the default drivers
[17:56] <DasBlub> screen resolution and everything was correct from the first installation of xorg on
[17:57] <DasBlub> but it had no hardware acceleration, so installed the drivers and after that the problems started
[17:58] <DasBlub> maybe i should add, that i used the alternate-cd and did only a basic installation without x-server and after that i used "apt-get install xorg gdm xfce4 xfce4-goodies xubuntu-default-settings" to get the gui
[18:03] <DasBlub> when i rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then restart gdm (/etc/init.d/gdm restart), it works fine again... but ofc only with the default drivers and not with the nvidia drivers :/
[18:21] <DasBlub> hm... seems like nobody knows it :/
[18:21] <Sysi> wrong driver possibly?
[18:22] <DasBlub> well.. i doubt so, as my graphic-card is listed on the driver
[18:23] <DasBlub> i even tried it with the drivers i got from the nvidia page. i selected there my graphic-card and downloaded the linux-drivers it gave me, i started the setup which didn't throw any error and after a restart from gdm i had the same problems
[18:23] <DasBlub> and when i remember right, the driver was rev. 185 too
[18:28] <charlie-tca> Think that might be because of the changes made in gdm and gnome during the karmic cycle
[18:29] <charlie-tca> you are using a bare install, and may not have all the dependencies satisfied now
[18:29] <charlie-tca> which desktop manager are you using?
[18:31] <superos> Sometimes when I (try to) start xfce4 from gdm I am returned to gdm, and I have to try again to login to my desktop. Often I have to try 2-3 times before I get to my desktop. Is this a known bug?
[18:32] <charlie-tca> As I recall, it is reported, but I may be wrong.
[18:33] <charlie-tca> They said the karmic screensaver was fixed, too, but it has not worked yet here
[18:34] <superos> Where is the xubuntu bug issue tracker? are they using the same as ubuntu?
[18:34] <charlie-tca> yes, launchpad
[18:35] <superos> charlie-tca: ty
[18:35] <charlie-tca> welcome
[19:07] <DasBlub> charlie-tca: the normal one from xfce (i think it's called xfwm4 ?)
[19:14] <DasBlub> btw, another question: using network manager (in xfce) i can connect to my wlan which is secured with wpa (wpa-psk), but with wpa_supplicant it doesn't work (i want it to be connected also when i'm not logged in to the x-server session as i'm often using only the console). can someone explain me, how to set up wpa_supplicant correctly? i've been searching the whole day for that but i can't...
[19:14] <DasBlub> ...find a solution :/
[19:14] <DasBlub> i always get "Association request to the driver failed"
[19:28] <gnat_x> is the alternate install cd also a live cd?
[19:28] <gnat_x> i need to get into a drive from another machine, so i need a live cd with lvm.
[19:29] <TheSheep> gnat_x: not exactly livecd, it doesn't have a usable system on it, just a shell and basic commands
[19:29] <gnat_x> shell is fine.
[19:30] <TheSheep> not sure if lvm is not loaded by the installer during the installation
[19:30] <gnat_x> as long as i can mount the disc, and maybe ssh.
[19:31] <DasBlub> the alternate cd has a shell
[19:32] <DasBlub> but i'm unsure if you've to start the setup and then abort at the first possibility and then select the shell or if you can already select it at the bootscreen
[19:39] <charlie-tca> DasBlub: the network manager is a gui, so it will only work with the X-server running
[19:39] <DasBlub> yes, that's my problem :)
[19:39] <DasBlub> that's why i'm poking around with wpa_supplicant
[19:39] <charlie-tca> You will need to create the proper files for wpa-supplicant, takes a lot of reading, if I remember right.
[19:40] <charlie-tca> I haven't tried it since Ubuntu 5.10
[19:40] <DasBlub> yes, i'm playing around with that file.. but i can't connect :/
[19:40] <DasBlub> i always get "Association request to the driver failed"
[19:40] <charlie-tca> You probably have to do an ifup eth0 or wlan0
[19:41] <charlie-tca> you have to do all the work of network manager connecting, including the ifup and ifdown commands
[19:41] <charlie-tca> pain in the ???
[19:43] <DasBlub> oh yes, it is pain :(
[19:44] <DasBlub> hm, my interface is up and running, that i can see
[19:44] <charlie-tca> some things never change, I guess
[19:44] <DasBlub> i can even do an iwlist on it and i can see my wlan in there
[19:45] <charlie-tca> My guess would be to look in the server documentation. It should tell how to get that working without a gui
[19:46] <charlie-tca> Maybe here: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html
[19:48] <DasBlub> hm, i doubt so... i don't know any server using wlan :/
[19:49] <charlie-tca> hmmm; probably right, too
[19:49] <charlie-tca> but, server could be both, wired and wireless
[19:51] <charlie-tca> hmmm, lucid is failing to restart in VirtualBox
[19:51] <DasBlub> if gave me an error, that there's no wlan0 interface, altough i can see it with iwconfig and ifconfig. i've added it to /etc/network/interfaces (just copied the eth0 entry) and now it does dhcpclient... and ofc that doesn't work :/
[19:52] <charlie-tca> Where does it get the ip address?
[19:52] <DasBlub> s/if/ifup/
[19:52] <DasBlub> DHCP server
[19:52] <charlie-tca> then going through dhcpclient should work?
[19:52] <DasBlub> the router is also the wlan access point and the dhcp server and all that stuff
[19:53] <DasBlub> it *should*, yes. but already wpa_supplicant can't connect to the network ("Association request to the driver failed"), so it can't request an IP
[19:53] <charlie-tca> You will have to disconnect the wired interface maybe to get the wireless working
[19:53] <charlie-tca> Ohhh
[19:54] <DasBlub> but network-manager works too when i have both enabled ?
[19:54] <charlie-tca> you got to add all the ssid and wireless stuff into the /etc/network/interfaces file for wlan0 to use it
[19:54] <DasBlub> oh, so it isn't enough to add that to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and then give that file to wpa_supplicant?
[19:55] <charlie-tca> I don't think so, not to get the interface to connect. That should be for the password.
[19:55] <DasBlub> i wrote my wpa_supplicant.conf according to the examples in the man-page and on the websites and then i just started "wpa_supplicant -D wext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
[19:55] <charlie-tca> but you still need the interfaces file to work
[19:56] <charlie-tca> and I think it needs to know about the wpa_supplicant.conf file, but I may be wrong now
[19:57] <charlie-tca> Well, I gotta go shovel snow now. good luck
[19:59] <gnat_x> it does need to know about the conf file.
[20:00] <DasBlub> i've added it now
[20:00] <DasBlub> damn... killall with the wrong arguments is bad... *restarts computer* :S
[20:01] <gnat_x> woops.
[20:01] <gnat_x> DasBlub: does your conf file have one of these "ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant"
[20:02] <DasBlub> yes, in wpa_supplicant.conf
[20:02] <gnat_x> also is the network that you are trying to connect to wpa, or open?
[20:02] <DasBlub> the network is using WPA2 (WPA-PSK)
[20:02] <gnat_x> and your conf has the info from wpa-passphrase?
[20:04] <DasBlub> yes
[20:04] <gnat_x> that's generally all i've ever needed to make mine work, so i'm prett close to out of ideas. :(
[20:05] <DasBlub> :'(
[20:05] <DasBlub> why is there no make_it_work.sh ? :P
[20:06] <DasBlub> (it would most likely only contain a simple 'echo "do it yourself!"' :( )
[20:06] <DasBlub> grml... i'll stick with network-manager until i figure out, how to do it with wpa_supplicant :S
[20:14] <DasBlub> i've now added all options to /etc/networking/interfaces (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136&page=8 post #74) but when i do /etc/init.d/networking restart, eth0 works fine but wlan0 still doesn't work :/
[20:14] <DasBlub> it keeps on DHCPDISCOVER but can't connect
[20:15] <kidko> Anybody know why my system beep won't work in XFCE? If I go to one of the virtual terminals (CTRL+ALT+F1, for example) 'echo -e "\a"' *does* give me a bell; no such luck in the GUI though
[20:26] <DasBlub> LOL. i got it working :)
[20:26] <TheSheep> kidko: man xset
[20:26] <DasBlub> i just dropped almost all options from the co
[20:26] <DasBlub> *config file
[20:27] <DasBlub> now, my wpa_supplicant.conf only contains ssid, key_mgmt and psk in the network-section and the /etc/network/interfaces contains only the path to the wpa_supplicant.conf for the wlan0 interface =)
[20:30] <DasBlub> damn... after a reboot it doesn't work anymore :S
[20:34] <slow-motion> hi
[20:41] <DasBlub> well... i'll stick with network-manager until i find a solution for it -.-
[20:50] <DasBlub> how can i modify softkeys from my laptop? most of them work (volume +/-) but some have a little problem, e.g. the mute button works to mute, but when i press again, it doesn't unmute but it does mute again (the notify icon pops up again)
[20:51] <Dracari> im going to use xubuntu on my older machine (a Dell workstation model) 500MHZ 256MBram) which version of xubuntu should i use?
[20:56]  * Dracari waits
[20:56] <Sysi> 256 isn't much but at least 8.04 worked well with that
[20:57] <Dracari> itd be better w/ xubuntu than XP
[20:57] <Sysi> a lot
[20:59] <Dracari> i see two versions on the US mirror 8.04 and 8.04.1 which i should use?
[21:08] <Pres-Gas> Dracari, I would use the 8.04.1 as it has many of the updates since 8.04 rolled into it.  Less downloading.
[21:09] <Dracari> thanks Pres-Gas and Sysi
[21:25] <balvonas> Dracari: i think it's better for you to pick up a different distribution, that is designed to run on that type of "typewriting" machines
[21:25] <balvonas> ;]
[21:26] <balvonas> xubuntu will use all of your 256MB of ram
[21:26] <Dracari> well i only have 1 black cd left what would you suggest?
[21:27] <balvonas> i think you can read about salix, zenwalk
[21:27] <knome> !minimal | Dracari
[21:27] <knome> Dracari, that might be a good choice for one cd only
[21:28] <knome> Dracari, at least you wouldn't be tied to one "flavor"
[21:30] <balvonas> well, i had that kind of computer, and i can say that slack based distributions runs a little faster
[21:30] <balvonas> and more responsive
[21:31] <Dracari> ok
[21:31] <Sysi> i had xubuntu 8.04 with 256mb, ran very well
[21:31] <Sysi> lubuntu or crunchbang could still be better
[21:32] <knome> well, ram is cheap now and if there is any way to upgrade it...
[21:32] <balvonas> good point
[21:32] <Sysi> old ram isn't :/
[21:33] <knome> Sysi, it is. come get dozens of free chips from me
[21:33] <knome> and really, upping from 256 to 512 would bring a few years more lifetime for the old pc
[21:34] <knome> if there's no way you can buy a new one or just want to keep one for browsing or if your parents just need a pc to write documents or...
[21:35] <Dracari> i think this dell workstation can handle 512MB just i dont have the ram unless i ruip it out of my old PPC imac
[21:37] <Dracari> i dont use it much (the imac) but still as it Is a usable pc im hesiant of yanking out ram expecially as it runs OSX Tiger
[22:07] <spanky1980> warning irc noob here.... I have a question about xubuntu, am I in the right place?
[22:07] <Sysi> yes
[22:09] <spanky1980> cool!  I've got ubuntu 9.04 and every logout/ login the display resolution is set to 800X600, frustrating as all get out, how do make my display cutomization stick?
[22:36] <likemindead> What's your graphics hardware, spanky1980?
[22:36] <spanky1980> vmware esx 3.5.1
[22:43] <knome> spanky1980, have you installed the guest tools?
[22:44] <spanky1980> that's a good point, in short NO guest tools are not installed.  Maybe I should start there... I'll try the install again, I'm thinking there where some errors preventing the installation
[22:44] <knome> ;)
[22:46] <spanky1980> i found a walk through @ help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Tools
[22:46] <knome> yeah
[22:46] <spanky1980> the menu command to install into VM just doesn't work
[22:46] <likemindead> Sorry, I've never used VMware...
[22:47] <knome> i've never used vmware to run linux guests
[22:48] <knome> spanky1980, "You should see a mounted CD image show up on the desktop."
[22:48] <knome> spanky1980, did that happen or not?
[22:48] <spanky1980> no don't see it yet
[22:49] <knome> see the page and look for the manual way to mount the cd
[22:49] <knome> it's right below
[22:50] <spanky1980> I had my VM settings pointing to an ISO... switched it back to client drive and now I see the VMware Tools disk
[22:50] <knome> ;)
[22:53] <spanky1980> i'd really like to be able to cut and past in to this machine... :)
[22:59] <spanky1980> I'm seeing : None of the pre-built vmmemctl modules for VMware Tools is suitalbe for your running kernel.  Do you want this program to try to build the vmmemctl module for your system?
[22:59] <spanky1980> not metioned in the walk through... anybody seen it?
[23:00] <spanky1980> same for vmhgfs module
[23:01] <spanky1980> ditto vmxnet
[23:01] <spanky1980> vmblock
[23:09] <knome> just build then
[23:09] <knome> *them
[23:09] <knome> i've had that, no problem
[23:09] <knome> building works fine
