| Sachse_Siechtum | Hallo. Anybody home? | 00:35 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | sure. | 00:36 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | Hello..I have a problem with my printer (HP PSC 1315) in Xubuntu. | 00:37 |
| knome | !ask | Sachse_Siechtum | 00:37 |
| ubottu | Sachse_Siechtum: 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. :-) | 00:37 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | and I'm not sure if it is hardware or software related | 00:37 |
| knome | http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-PSC_1310 | 00:39 |
| knome | and http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-PSC_1315 | 00:39 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | I tried to print a test page in Xubuntu...the printer took in half of the paper, made some noise and stopped. now I have a blinking "printer cartridge" light and a "E" where normally the number is showing... | 00:39 |
| knome | maybe the paper is stuck? | 00:40 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | no. | 00:40 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | once today | 00:40 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | when I was in Windows XP | 00:40 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | I switched the printer on. (had no drivers installed) | 00:40 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | in that moment, the printer was printing the test page | 00:41 |
| knome | i take you have installed the hpijs driver? | 00:41 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | after that I tried to print the test page again in Xubuntu (the install of the hplip drivers went fine) | 00:41 |
| knome | (or the hplip) | 00:41 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | yes | 00:42 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | and CUP | 00:42 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | CUPS | 00:42 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | I gonna buy a new B/W cartridge this week... I guess, my current one is too old. | 00:43 |
| knome | http://localhost:631/ - have you tried managing the printer there? | 00:43 |
| knome | or ran 'hp-setup' ? | 00:44 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | I have the localhost site open, but didnt look into it yet | 00:44 |
| knome | i have very limited experience of linux printing, but i suppose those would be good starting points, since the printer is supposed to work at least mostly | 00:45 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | the software finds the printer alright but my main problem is, that I cant reset the printer of that "error state" | 00:46 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | can't | 00:47 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | alright thanks for the help. Bye | 00:48 |
| ouyes | hi how can i add a shortcut for terminal in xfce? | 03:33 |
| Neo|Desktop | hey everybody | 05:39 |
| Neo|Desktop | i have a rather quick question | 05:39 |
| Neo|Desktop | how do I enable the searching of other mountable drives | 05:40 |
| Neo|Desktop | from xfce's gui | 05:40 |
| Neo|Desktop | that crappy gnome feature was actually useful, heh | 05:40 |
| cody-somerville | Not sure what feature you're referring to. | 05:41 |
| Neo|Desktop | in regular ubuntu, it shows all mountiable partitions in the file manager | 05:41 |
| Neo|Desktop | **mountable | 05:41 |
| Neo|Desktop | i'm not getting that here in xfce | 05:42 |
| tavasti | Neo|Desktop, on filemanager, File->Preferences and there Advanced tab, enable volume management | 05:53 |
| Neo|Desktop | tavasti: it would appear that that is enabled | 06:54 |
| Neo|Desktop | tavasti: and the block devices /dev/sda1(-4) are also there | 06:57 |
| Neo|Desktop | i just like the easy mounting thing, heh | 06:57 |
| tavasti | aren't those already mounted? | 07:11 |
| tavasti | that volume management is for removable devices, I suppose | 07:11 |
| tavasti | (but I'm not at my best with gui-things, I use command line mostly) | 07:12 |
| Neo|Desktop | ah thanks for your help tavasti, idk myself, i think i may just have to add those entried into my fstab, hehe | 07:16 |
| tavasti | I think installer puts there those entries | 07:18 |
| Neo|Desktop | mm, well thanks for all yoru help :) | 07:23 |
| ouyes | i am trying to change from gnome to xfce, but it is hard, i am now getting used to gnome now | 09:08 |
| tavasti | what makes it so hard? | 09:22 |
| ouyes | for example i run alt+f2 write gconf-edit but there came out an error | 09:25 |
| Myrtti | ouyes: gconf-edit isn't installed by default, IIRC | 09:25 |
| ouyes | also i want to add a keyboard shortcut for a terminal(i know right button of the mouse) ,i can not find the way | 09:26 |
| Sysi | and i'd guess it's ment for configuring gnome | 09:26 |
| Sysi | settings → keyboard | 09:26 |
| ouyes | Myrtti, what is IIRC and idk for short? | 09:26 |
| Sysi | if i remember correctly and i don't know | 09:26 |
| ouyes | yes you are right , i am a man trying to change from gnome to xfce | 09:27 |
| ouyes | Sysi, you have a good memory, but what is the command to run a terminal ? | 09:28 |
| Sysi | xfce4-terminal | 09:29 |
| ouyes | Myrtti, so what can i do if i want to and some language support in the document and for office applications? | 09:32 |
| Myrtti | ouyes: the same you'd do in Ubuntu and Gnome, I suppose, install language additions. Depending on what applications you're using | 09:32 |
| ouyes | is there any place in the web(wiki) tell people how to make a setting for a newly installed xubuntu | 09:33 |
| ouyes | what is the most advantage of xfce make you chose it ? | 09:34 |
| Myrtti | less stuff to uninstall and ignore | 09:35 |
| tavasti | ouyes, I use xubuntu because I like it better than gnome | 09:36 |
| ouyes | also, the starting time is shorter | 09:38 |
| slackaholic | hi mans | 11:03 |
| slackaholic | my wifi is not finding passwd protected networks, just the opened... how can i solve it? | 11:03 |
| slackaholic | i'm using ndiswrapper | 11:04 |
| teilnehmer | slackaholic: It seems to be a bug in ndiswrapper since 9.04. | 11:08 |
| teilnehmer | See here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ndiswrapper/+bug/459716 | 11:08 |
| slackaholic | so... without it i cant find any network | 11:09 |
| teilnehmer | A claimed solution can be found at | 11:09 |
| teilnehmer | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8426311 | 11:09 |
| teilnehmer | I'm sorry but I can't help you further, I know nothing about ndiswrapper, I just found the bug report. | 11:12 |
| teilnehmer | slackaholic: Possibly there is an alternate way to establish a connection (instead of nndiswrapper) | 11:14 |
| psycho_oreos | slackaholic, which chipset do you have? | 11:15 |
| slackaholic | wait a minute i will get the name | 11:26 |
| slackaholic | acording lspci: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) | 11:27 |
| psycho_oreos | why are you using ndiswrapper? lol that's very unusual | 11:28 |
| psycho_oreos | that chipset is supported natively | 11:28 |
| psycho_oreos | actually, just to make sure do lspci -nn and paste the vid:pid here | 11:29 |
| slackaholic | firstly it was working good... | 11:30 |
| slackaholic | but after... couldnt find any ntwork | 11:30 |
| psycho_oreos | with ndiswrapper? | 11:30 |
| slackaholic | lspci -nn result --> 03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:001c] (rev 01) | 11:41 |
| slackaholic | ndiswrapper 1.9 | 11:42 |
| z0man | After getting a friend into Xubuntu (8.04), everything seems to hanky dorary until now... Xubuntu moans about "Low Graphics mode" and the DRI failed to initalize. Is this because of a recent update? | 11:53 |
| psycho_oreos | slackaholic, which kernel version are you on? | 11:54 |
| slackaholic | psycho_oreos, 2.6.31-17-generic | 11:55 |
| psycho_oreos | slackaholic, best to use ath5k imo | 11:55 |
| z0man | eemga(0)(ee) | 11:56 |
| * z0man googles | 11:56 | |
| z0man | awww | 11:57 |
| slackaholic | wooooww it's solved... | 11:57 |
| slackaholic | hahahhahha | 11:57 |
| psycho_oreos | z0man, no idea, you did distro upgrade? | 11:57 |
| psycho_oreos | slackaholic, ._. whilst on ndiswrapper? | 11:57 |
| z0man | don't worry about me seriously for now. hehe | 11:58 |
| slackaholic | thanks guy | 11:58 |
| z0man | it's something that isn't easy for me to diagnose and help, as the machine is else where | 11:58 |
| psycho_oreos | z0man, was about to say, I personally never liked distro upgrades | 11:58 |
| psycho_oreos | slackaholic, so how did you solve it lol | 11:58 |
| z0man | I don't believe he did do a distro upgrade. | 11:58 |
| slackaholic | rmmod ndis... | 11:58 |
| slackaholic | modprobe ath5k | 11:58 |
| slackaholic | xD | 11:59 |
| z0man | He doesn't like changing anything much. | 11:59 |
| slackaholic | now i just have to blackllist ndis doesnt it? | 11:59 |
| z0man | i wonder if he did try it.... | 11:59 |
| z0man | I have done distro upgrades and yes you neeed to know what you doing to fix any issues that pop up | 12:00 |
| psycho_oreos | slackaholic, probably ideal, btw if you're still having issues with ath5k (which can happen) I suggest you check dmesg| tail | 12:00 |
| slackaholic | psycho_oreos, ok | 12:01 |
| psycho_oreos | ath5k is constantly getting addressed to and if issues come up you may need to try backports or compat-wireless, etc | 12:01 |
| slackaholic | psycho_oreos, i would like to use slack based distro... but it was always entering in kernel panic.... | 12:01 |
| slackaholic | psycho_oreos, and i dont like gnome... i prefere kde and xfce | 12:01 |
| psycho_oreos | z0man, its a pain in the bum generally, I've done dist upgrade once and that taught me enough not to ever bother with it again | 12:01 |
| psycho_oreos | slackaholic, lol well there's xubuntu as you are here and kubuntu :) | 12:02 |
| psycho_oreos | and yeah slack isn't easy, its a bit like gentoo except gentoo bit more insane imo | 12:02 |
| slackaholic | i'm using xfce because it's a netbook | 12:02 |
| slackaholic | lighter than kde | 12:03 |
| psycho_oreos | I'm using xfce on my best computer :) | 12:03 |
| psycho_oreos | there's also lxde and enlightment you may want to try | 12:03 |
| slackaholic | yeap i tested it once when i installed ubuntu in this netbook | 12:03 |
| slackaholic | i think that i will just use it in this netbook | 12:04 |
| slackaholic | a was so worried because i'm just with this netbook...i'm in a conference | 12:04 |
| z0man | think i may have found the problem | 12:04 |
| slackaholic | i'm from brazil | 12:04 |
| psycho_oreos | ah | 12:04 |
| slackaholic | i'm at campus party | 12:05 |
| psycho_oreos | so you're doing linux install on the go? lol | 12:05 |
| slackaholic | xD | 12:05 |
| slackaholic | i installed xubuntu likea emergenci distro... but i liked it | 12:05 |
| slackaholic | xD | 12:05 |
| psycho_oreos | its quite addictive and ubuntu isn't some small distro either :) | 12:06 |
| psycho_oreos | in other words, theres almost always support when you needed it, so its not like you're going to get stuck :) | 12:07 |
| z0man | think I will get the guy to do this... https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/33352 | 12:07 |
| psycho_oreos | z0man, would you happen to know which graphics chipset he has? | 12:08 |
| z0man | very old stuff... | 12:08 |
| z0man | hmmm me checks docs | 12:09 |
| z0man | Found that only 8.04 worked with his system see | 12:09 |
| psycho_oreos | hope its not intel, intel graphics cards can be a real headache when you demand extensive eyecandy ui stuff | 12:09 |
| Hawkal | Is there anyway to repair or restore xubuntu without having to do a reinstall? | 12:09 |
| z0man | Yet I haven't been round since 9.10 | 12:09 |
| psycho_oreos | depends on the repairs needed to be done | 12:10 |
| z0man | Well I been bothered since the release of 9.10 | 12:10 |
| psycho_oreos | z0man, I'm still on 9.04 :) not going to fly on 9.10 with flawed ext4 | 12:10 |
| z0man | im on 9.10 ^^ | 12:10 |
| z0man | I heard about that new one and pondered... aw hell :) | 12:11 |
| psycho_oreos | it is nice and all, but there's a bug with ext4 in their release notes along with a few other things they've outlined that sort of ticks me.. so I'm going to hold out for lucid | 12:11 |
| z0man | Yet I'm only using ext3 | 12:11 |
| z0man | SiS super AGP graphics controller (on SiS 620 Host chip) with 4 MB of video memory (upgradeable to 8MB) | 12:13 |
| z0man | old see :P | 12:13 |
| z0man | I have a small feeling some update may be to with the blame | 12:14 |
| psycho_oreos | Hawkal, ahh not that I know no | 12:14 |
| psycho_oreos | z0man, well there's users flooding in the other support channel... ubuntu channel actually, with that issue, and there was a link I found not long ago about it | 12:14 |
| z0man | really?! | 12:15 |
| z0man | hmmm | 12:15 |
| z0man | would you mind looking for that link? | 12:15 |
| Hawkal | psycho_oreos, okay thank you anyway. | 12:15 |
| * z0man feels like he wants to hug psycho_oreos | 12:15 | |
| teilnehmer | Hawkal, depending on what problems you have, you might want to try creating a new user, which will have an empty home directory, thus resetting everything that was changed through settings in there. | 12:15 |
| teilnehmer | This doesn't include upgrades or similar stuff, though. In that case, reinstalling (but keeping the home directory) would be the way to go, IMO. | 12:16 |
| Hawkal | teilnehmer, thank you I had not thought of that. | 12:16 |
| psycho_oreos | Hawkal, couldn't be of much help I'm afraid, because a person is capable of setting anything, and with access to root account via sudo, the amount is endless | 12:16 |
| psycho_oreos | z0man, no guarantees though :) | 12:17 |
| teilnehmer | Hawkal, you are welcome. Hope it helps. | 12:17 |
| z0man | thats ok | 12:17 |
| z0man | It's another clue worth trying | 12:17 |
| Hawkal | psycho_oreos, that is okay, I am grateful for any help or response. | 12:18 |
| psycho_oreos | z0man, http://ncc-1701a.homelinux.net/~linux-sis/ | 12:19 |
| z0man | thank you :) | 12:19 |
| teilnehmer | Hawkal: I fixed a terribly broken desktop that way once. Was what I got from keeping the ~/.kde (when I ran kubuntu) when I upgraded to 9.10 | 12:19 |
| psycho_oreos | Hawkal, :) | 12:20 |
| Hawkal | teilnehmer, good to know it is an effective way ti fix things. | 12:23 |
| Hawkal | *to | 12:23 |
| teilnehmer | Hawkal: depends on what to fix. Let us know if it worked for you! | 12:25 |
| Hawkal | teilnehmer, true . | 12:30 |
| Hawkal | Thanks for the help guys | 12:31 |
| Pres-Gas | Hey, charlie-tca | 14:21 |
| ubuntu | Having a spot of bother Xubuntu. It moans of "Low Graphics Mode" and I have tried all the options in the GUI. Also I have tried mounting the liveCD and cop | 20:13 |
| ubuntu | copied the xorg.conf from the liveCD boot to the installed the system with no success | 20:13 |
| ubuntu | any ideas? | 20:14 |
| charlie-tca | go into a tty, make sure ~/.dmrc and .ICEauthority are owned by the user and not by root | 20:23 |
| ubuntu | ok | 20:27 |
| ubuntu | this is the "users" folder? | 20:28 |
| ubuntu | /home/user? | 20:28 |
| ubuntu | .ICEauthority is not in the home directory | 20:29 |
| ubuntu | not in the home folder of the user | 20:30 |
| charlie-tca | They are hidden files | 20:31 |
| charlie-tca | Are in a terminal or thunar? | 20:31 |
| ubuntu | I have ticked @Show hidden files | 20:31 |
| ubuntu | in thunar | 20:31 |
| charlie-tca | should be towards the bottom of the listing in /home/USER/ | 20:31 |
| ubuntu | ah its file? | 20:32 |
| ubuntu | ok it's owned by user | 20:32 |
| charlie-tca | yes, it is a file | 20:32 |
| ubuntu | and it has @read and Write | 20:32 |
| charlie-tca | Well, used up my ideas, then | 20:32 |
| ubuntu | @Owner = 1000 | 20:32 |
| ubuntu | hmmm | 20:32 |
| ubuntu | thx anyway | 20:33 |
| charlie-tca | owner should be a name? instead of the gid | 20:33 |
| charlie-tca | s/gid/uid | 20:33 |
| lc2 | hm | 20:34 |
| lc2 | grep yourusername /etc/passwd | 20:34 |
| lc2 | make sure the id is 1000, because as charlie-tca said, that is odd | 20:35 |
| lc2 | third field, separated by colons | 20:35 |
| ubuntu | found an xorg.conf.new in the root of the file system | 20:37 |
| ubuntu | gonna try that one and then get back to u | 20:37 |

| _blink_ | hey can someone tell me how to execute python files in xubuntu? | 21:20 |
| Sysi | in terminal: python <file> | 21:22 |
| Sysi | iirc | 21:22 |
| lc2 | yes | 21:22 |
| _blink_ | python filename.py | 21:25 |
| _blink_ | thats it | 21:25 |
| Sysi | or you can add one line in top of file and just run it | 21:25 |
| lc2 | #!/usr/bin/python | 21:25 |
| lc2 | then "chmod 755 file.py" sans quotes | 21:26 |
| lc2 | then you can just path/to/file.py or ./file.py if it's in your current working directory | 21:26 |
| lc2 | in unrelated news, i'm doing another ubuntu install for a computer noob (not just a linux noob) tomorrow | 21:27 |
| lc2 | feels good man | 21:27 |
| _blink_ | Thanks people :) | 21:29 |
| _blink_ | I have alot to learn | 21:29 |
| lc2 | _blink_: we all did | 21:30 |
| * lc2 remembers the big "wtf" when he installed debian in 1998. | 21:30 | |
| lc2 | _blink_: but yeah, there's a trick you might not have guessed, the hashbang line, change that to any interpreter and set the file to executable and it'll be treated just like a binary is | 21:31 |
| lc2 | okay so here's an interesting question | 21:40 |
| lc2 | i'm running cairo-dock (because i want everyone to think i'm rich enough to run a mac) | 21:40 |
| lc2 | (not entirely serious there, but i like cairo-dock) | 21:40 |
| lc2 | i have it running automatically on startup, if i exit xubuntu and hit "save session" then it'll apparently see that cairo-dock is running and then load that on startup next time | 21:41 |
| lc2 | but since i already have it loaded automatically, that means i get two cairo-docks | 21:41 |
| lc2 | is there some way of telling xfce (or any of the lower-level programs) that a certain program should *never* be automatically restarted? | 21:42 |
| lc2 | correction: i *think* it does it when i hit "save session", but i noticed it when i hit "reboot" from the update manager | 21:46 |
| lc2 | (which, presumably, saves the session) | 21:50 |
| ubuntu | Struggling to add this xrandr | 22:06 |
| ubuntu | been reading up on this as for some reason xorg does not detect the settings for SiS chip anymore | 22:06 |
| ubuntu | Here is what I have been reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding%20undetected%20resolutions | 22:06 |
| ubuntu | And to make my xrandr perminant I need to add it too | 22:07 |
| ubuntu | /etc/gdm/Init/Default | 22:07 |
| ubuntu | Just before the line... | 22:07 |
| ubuntu | initctl -q emit login-session-start DISPLAY_MANAGER=gdm | 22:07 |
| ubuntu | And it is not there | 22:07 |
| lc2 | mmm. :\ | 22:08 |
| ubuntu | The current chip set is a SiS 630 and it does not seem to be auto detecting the install system any more | 22:09 |
| ubuntu | Yet the liveCD does... So I figured something majorly has changed with the xorg | 22:10 |
| lc2 | i'd help you but i don't know anything about that | 22:17 |
| ubuntu | thanks for reading at least ^^ | 22:18 |
| lc2 | yeah i just didn't want to think you were being ignored :) | 22:19 |
| ubuntu | {{{lc2}}} | 22:21 |
| lc2 | {{{ubuntu}}} | 22:21 |
| ubuntu | going to try and change the xorg.conf instead | 22:23 |
| lc2 | mm good luck | 22:25 |
