| monsoongroover | ? | 05:43 |
|---|---|---|
| monsoongroover | is there anybody out there ? | 05:44 |
| Balsaq | yup | 05:44 |
| monsoongroover | cool. | 05:44 |
| monsoongroover | have you heard of a bug in xubuntu that causes the login screen to re appear continuously when booting up ? | 05:47 |
| Balsaq | in 9.10? | 05:47 |
| monsoongroover | yeah the latest release | 05:48 |
| Balsaq | i have heard of several bugs in 9.10 | 05:48 |
| monsoongroover | this one in particular? | 05:49 |
| Balsaq | no | 05:49 |
| Balsaq | sounds like a grub issue | 05:49 |
| monsoongroover | i've seen other instances of it in the forums. | 05:50 |
| Balsaq | do you eventually get around it? | 05:50 |
| monsoongroover | i must confess that i am a total N00B . 3 days | 05:50 |
| Balsaq | i have had xubuntu for a few months now, but i also use a few other distros. i must confess that i have never had a problem with 904 | 05:51 |
| monsoongroover | i re installed and checked the "Automatic Login" radio button. it helps but the problem still comes back | 05:52 |
| Balsaq | i use a username and password | 05:53 |
| Balsaq | wonder if that would help fix it | 05:53 |
| monsoongroover | when i do that , the login box re appears ad infinitum | 05:53 |
| Balsaq | dual boot? | 05:53 |
| monsoongroover | no only xubuntu | 05:54 |
| Balsaq | installed to the HD? | 05:54 |
| monsoongroover | yup | 05:54 |
| Balsaq | what kind of hardware | 05:54 |
| monsoongroover | amd 500+ mhz 32 g hd | 05:55 |
| Balsaq | ram? | 05:55 |
| monsoongroover | 256 meg ram | 05:55 |
| Balsaq | on my computers that are like yours i use puppylinux | 05:56 |
| Balsaq | i have one 400mgz and one 450 | 05:56 |
| monsoongroover | tell me more | 05:56 |
| Balsaq | puppylinux works better computers like yours | 05:56 |
| Balsaq | at least that had been my experience | 05:57 |
| Balsaq | if yours runs fast pay no attention too me | 05:57 |
| monsoongroover | i'll look into it | 05:57 |
| Balsaq | its a bit of a pain to install | 05:57 |
| CharlesR | using xubuntu 9.10, trying to set up networking to several windows machines, i bring up shared folders and am told nfs or smb must be installed. i say go ahead and install both, type my password, and shortly it again says they have to be installed, as many times as i try. firefox accesses th eweb with no problems. | 05:57 |
| monsoongroover | thanks | 05:58 |
| Balsaq | is xubuntu fast on your 500mgz? | 05:59 |
| monsoongroover | fast enough | 06:00 |
| xubunoobie | Hello. Could I ask a question about java in xubuntu | 07:16 |
| SMQBlot | anyone knows if there are a xubuntu repos? | 07:18 |
| xubunoobie | does anyone know how to get java installed? | 07:24 |
| Sysi | xubunoobie: what you're gonna do with it? | 07:49 |
| Sysi | propably sun-java-jre6 or something is what you're searching for | 07:49 |
| xubunoobie | sysi: I am getting closer. In synaptic, I noticed that the openjdk ice tea browser plugin wasn't installed. So I just did that. It still doesn't quite work, but at least something is happening now (box appears and seems to almost start java) instead of just saying "You don't have java" | 07:52 |
| Sysi | i'd recommend to to remove everything you've installed and install "xubuntu-restricted-extras" | 07:53 |
| Sysi | java comes with that, and many useful things also | 07:53 |
| xubunoobie | That was the first thing that I did (this is a fresh install as of 2 days ago) | 07:54 |
| Sysi | have you searched plugins with firefox? | 07:54 |
| xubunoobie | xubuntu restricted extras somehow left the browser plugin out though | 07:54 |
| xubunoobie | sysi: you mean about:plugins | 07:55 |
| xubunoobie | oops for some reason it made a face | 07:55 |
| xubunoobie | about : plugins | 07:55 |
| xubunoobie | that is better | 07:55 |
| Sysi | no, tools → plugins | 07:55 |
| xubunoobie | sysi: Thank you. There is a lot listed including many java plugins | 07:58 |
| xubunoobie | Iced Tea web browser plugin | 07:59 |
| xubunoobie | iced tea java web browser plugin | 08:00 |
| Sysi | B[Bthat should work | 08:00 |
| xubunoobie | Yes I thought that it should | 08:01 |
| xubunoobie | almost works | 08:02 |
| xubunoobie | box appears where something should be happening----this is more activity than it did before I installed the plugin | 08:02 |
| Sysi | the java applet can be problem itself | 08:03 |
| xubunoobie | I am on the java test on the Sun website | 08:04 |
| xubunoobie | Is there another java test that you know of? | 08:05 |
| xubunoobie | I found some | 08:06 |
| Sysi | if that works where you need java, it works :) | 08:06 |
| Sysi | the applet that you need | 08:06 |
| xubunoobie | Ok. I found a website with examples of java applets. They appear to be working. That is weird that the java test on the Sun website doesn't work, but those do. | 08:08 |
| xubunoobie | Thank you for the suggestion | 08:08 |

| TheSheep | CharlesR: I think it has a bug, just close it and open it again (the good ol windows way_ | 12:40 |
| TheSheep | ) | 12:40 |
| CharlesR | ive done that several times | 12:40 |

| Sysi | http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2009/11/12/recovering-ctrl-alt-backspace-functionality-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic/ | 18:26 |
| xubunoobie | TheSheep: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so | 18:27 |
| xubunoobie | I haven't rebooted since installing the exhaile ipod plugin. Do you think that will help? | 18:28 |
| xubunoobie | I am having a little trouble getting my ipod to be recognized. I get an error: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so I installed the "restriced extras" and the ipod plugin for exaile, then rebooted. Is there something that I overlooked? | 18:36 |
| TheSheep | xubunoobie: I think the ipod is not visible as disk | 18:37 |
| TheSheep | xubunoobie: by design | 18:37 |
| Pres-Gas | xubunoobie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPod | 18:38 |
| xubunoobie | oh wow. Is there a remedy for that? Supposedly Exaile has support for ipod | 18:38 |
| TheSheep | it should be visible in exaile as a media player | 18:42 |
| xubunoobie | Pres-Gas: Thank you. My synaptic says this not installed yet. I will try it. Thank you again! | 18:42 |
| xubunoobie | gtkpod | 18:42 |
| xubunoobie | Hello. I am still getting this message when I plug in the ipod. mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so . | 18:48 |
| xubunoobie | I thought for sure that that would work | 18:49 |

| becker_11 | Morning! | 20:20 |
| becker_11 | I've installed Gwibber and call me stupid but I can't find a button or menu option anywhere to actually send a message ... using identi.ca | 20:21 |
| likemindead | !gwibber | 20:29 |
| likemindead | Hmm... | 20:29 |
| likemindead | Worthless bot... | 20:29 |
| * charlie-tca kicks the bot | 20:30 | |
| likemindead | Sorry, becker_11, I've never used Gwibber. :-\ | 20:30 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe gwibber doesn't have that feature yet? | 20:30 |
| becker_11 | charlie-tca, I created the account and it asked for send and receive and I ticked both but yeah it's frustrating | 20:48 |
| charlie-tca | I believe it :-( | 20:48 |
| becker_11 | not as frustrating as nutting out the curl script I've been working on for 2 days to update identica from the shell but close | 20:49 |
| NameMe | hello i have a small problem | 23:20 |
| knome | !ask | NameMe | 23:21 |
| ubottu | NameMe: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:21 |
| NameMe | oafiid:gnome-indacatoraplet incountered a problem while loading and fastuserswichapplet and _panel_trashapplett while installing the live cd | 23:22 |

| NameMe | sorry for many lines | 23:26 |
| NameMe | oh ouch | 23:26 |
| NameMe | umm i requested a cd by mail its a ubuntu 9.10 but..... | 23:27 |
| knome | not that it would make big difference, but if i'm correc gnome-indicatorapplet refers to gnome which means ubuntu | 23:27 |
| NameMe | it says desktop adition im trying to load it on a laptop | 23:27 |
| knome | NameMe, does the cd say ubuntu or xubuntu? | 23:27 |
| NameMe | ubuntu | 23:28 |
| knome | desktop edition means it is for "non-servers" | 23:28 |
| knome | you probably should ask #ubuntu. they might know if this is a known bug or issue. i've never heard of that | 23:28 |
| knome | does it stop you from doing something, btw? | 23:28 |
| NameMe | cool should work on laptop tho? | 23:28 |

| NameMe | what like play a game? | 23:29 |
| knome | i mean, when you get the message, are you expecting something to happen that doesn't happen? | 23:29 |
| knome | i suppose not, trying to figure out from the warning :) | 23:30 |
| NameMe | im getting the message when loading the cd | 23:30 |
| knome | yeah. just don't worry too much about it | 23:30 |
| knome | i don't think it really makes any difference | 23:30 |
