| j-live | Good evening... Have a current issue with x11 on a karmic laptop with an intel 830gm int. graphics chipset, from initial install it boots straight to black screen. to which i can tty in and out of... any response would be apprieciated :) | 00:07 |
|---|---|---|
| charlie-tca | ryanrhee90: not that I know of. You might want to get the alternate image and try it. It does not use the graphical installer | 00:13 |
| ryanrhee90 | charlie-tca thanks, i'll try that. | 00:14 |
| charlie-tca | Good luck with the install | 00:14 |
| charlie-tca | It is possible the graphics will not work for you | 00:15 |
| j-live | i have heard of there being issues with them, i have had 1 ubuntu based distro working on it before... | 00:16 |

| charlie-tca | !question | jussi01 | 01:32 |
| ubottu | jussi01: 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. :-) | 01:32 |

| john | Hi - I'm currently running Xubuntu 9.10 & was considering trying to update my Firefox installation from 3.5.7 to the newest 3.6 - anybody know of any particular reasons why this may be a bad idea or do you think I am good to give it a try? | 08:17 |
| Myrtti | if you don't have a specific need for a certain feature in the newest version, I don't really see the point | 08:18 |
| john | I do a lot of Javascript development - so I am interested in the improvements made to the Javascript Interpreter - as well as the continued updates and support for the new HTML5 Spec | 08:19 |
| john | I just installed Xubuntu 9.10 for the first time - giving it a try and I like what I see so far - but I was a little wary to try upgrading the Browser since I noticed it came with a slightly older version of Firefox | 08:20 |
| john | Normally I would just update it using the 'Update' features inside Firefox - but I can't seem to find it on the version of Firefox installed with Xubuntu =\ | 08:24 |
| Myrtti | yeah, that's because the update system and philosophy is a bit different | 08:25 |
| Myrtti | john: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion gives information on how to do the leap if you really are sure you want to do it | 08:27 |
| john | Ah this link is great thank you - I see now that Firefox 3.6 hasn't been fully tested for Ubuntu yet so the update will just become available inside my update manager when it is | 08:29 |
| john | I can handle waiting a bit for it - I appreciate you finding this link for me though - pretty interesting to see the different release approach Ubuntu takes | 08:30 |
| Peacimowen | g'day. I've just installed xubuntu after being linux-free for a few years (to my shame), but am having trouble getting beyond 800x600 resolution | 08:31 |
| Peacimowen | Created a xorg.conf and added a custom modeline, but that seems to be ignored. | 08:32 |
| Peacimowen | Any idea what I can do next? | 08:32 |
| Balsaq | you could have the incorrect display driver | 08:38 |
| Peacimowen | I'm using nv with an nvidia card.. | 08:38 |
| Balsaq | i had an issue using nv with nvidia card | 08:38 |
| Peacimowen | I suppose I could go and install the official driver | 08:38 |
| Balsaq | what version of xubuntu? | 08:42 |
| Peacimowen | 9.10 | 08:44 |
| Balsaq | i would recommend 904 | 08:47 |
| Peacimowen | What's wrong with 9.10? | 08:48 |
| Balsaq | i really don't know that there is something wrong, but have noticed that depending on the computer, 04 sometimes is better...thats all. | 08:50 |
| Peacimowen | ah | 08:51 |
| Balsaq | i noticed my computer, for exapmle seems to have been made for it...just by chance i guess | 08:51 |
| Peacimowen | I'll just keep playing until I can fix the graphics issue before switching to anything else. | 08:52 |
| Peacimowen | If I screw up badly I can always switch then. | 08:53 |
| Balsaq | i was fooling around trying to make my full screen resolution better using a different nvidia driver fron their site...but it messed up my desktop resolution. i then chose to let the xubuntu 904 configure it for me and it did a better job on its own. i was impressed. | 08:53 |
| Peacimowen | so far allowing auto configuration do its job has not helped me in the slightest | 08:53 |
| Peacimowen | I can lower the resolution all the way to 320x240... | 08:54 |
| Balsaq | what type of computer-specs | 08:55 |
| Peacimowen | P4 1GB ram, GeForce 7200 | 08:55 |
| Balsaq | i have p4 512 rdram nvidia geforce mx420 | 08:55 |
| Peacimowen | huh, well that actually worked. | 09:07 |
| Peacimowen | I have 1024x768 with nvidias own drivers | 09:07 |
| Peacimowen | and damn but I like having irssi running in screen so that I could stick around irc while playing with X | 09:09 |
| john | Any tips on improving flv video playback on xubuntu 9.10? I have streamed videos from youtube without any problem on this same hardware using other OS's but playing the video using the included movie player - or streaming inside firefox results in very significant 'choppyness' | 09:28 |
| Myrtti | are you perchance running 64-bit? | 09:29 |
| dahaic | john: are you ati user? try restricted drivers | 09:29 |
| john | I have an integrated Intel chipset for the video - and it is a 32bit system | 09:30 |
| john | At the moment I am waiting on VLC to finish downloading - I am hoping maybe that will work? | 09:30 |
| john | Intel 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device to be precise actually | 09:35 |
| john | Ah okay - VLC Player will playback the videos smoothly - I can just download the FLV from youtube & view it off my local machine - that solution works for me =) | 09:36 |

| subspider | hi | 12:05 |
| subspider | do you guys know any software to amulate iso images?? | 12:05 |
| subspider | emulate? | 12:06 |
| Myrtti | emulate? huh? | 12:06 |
| bazhang | you mean mount them? | 12:06 |
| subspider | yes | 12:06 |
| subspider | like if it was a xd | 12:07 |
| subspider | like for windows deamon tools | 12:07 |
| ablomen | mount -o loop file.iso /media/mountpoint | 12:07 |
| subspider | i try that | 12:07 |
| Myrtti | !iso | subspider | 12:08 |
| ubottu | subspider: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 12:08 |
| subspider | but nothing | 12:08 |
| cobra-the-joker | Hey guys ... is the alternate CD same as the original xubuntu CD ? | 13:45 |

| fark | I'm having a slight problem with X.org not loading, log: http://tinyurl.com/yko5ekp any ideas? | 15:58 |
| DBeets | So I think I just broke xfce | 17:20 |
| DBeets | when I try to login in, it accepts my pw but then x restarts | 17:20 |
| charlie-tca | What version? | 17:21 |
| DBeets | 9.1 | 17:21 |
| charlie-tca | 9.10 | 17:21 |
| charlie-tca | You can fix it by hitting Ctrl+Alt+F2, login, then remove ~/.cache and ~/.config | 17:22 |
| charlie-tca | Then restart | 17:22 |
| charlie-tca | then you will have to set up your preferences again, because it will have deleted all the custom settings you had | 17:22 |
| DBeets | well that does not sound like any fun at all. | 17:23 |
| DBeets | I know I should've taken a snapshot | 17:23 |
| charlie-tca | Nyup | 17:23 |
| DBeets | I'll keep all my packeges though, correct? | 17:24 |
| balvonas | good evening | 17:36 |
| charlie-tca | Good Evening, balvonas | 17:39 |
| balvonas | is there a network proxy settings manager for xubuntu? i use chrome, it does not have such option | 17:39 |
| balvonas | i mean some external program, i know that xfce does not have it | 17:41 |
| DBeets | charlie-tca: Got it fixed. Uninstalled smbfs and now it works fine. Phew! | 18:31 |
| charlie-tca | Glad to hear it is working again. | 18:31 |
| DBeets | And now to take a snapshot :p | 18:32 |
| crystalsjoint | hey is there such a program to cleanup junk files on the hard drive in xubuntu? | 18:50 |

| pog | I have installed xubuntu on a memory stick, now, the menu for starting the program vanishes on the bar... | 21:19 |
| charlie-tca | !panel | 21:19 |
| ubottu | Did you panels disappear? Press alt+f2 and run: xfce4-panel | See also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels | Want to theme your panels? See http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/howto-set-a-background-image-for-your-panel/ | 21:19 |
| charlie-tca | Also advice on how to put the menu back is in there. | 21:20 |
| pog | ah thanks! | 21:20 |
| pog | I'm not shure, whether it's a xubuntu problem, my xubuntu 9.10 Stick boots from a acer, but not from the shuttle. the shuttle cames to grub2 but grub only executes a command list and does nothing... | 21:22 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe the shuttle can't read the stick, such as it only reads USB 1.1 and the stick is in USB 2.0 ? | 21:25 |
| pog | grub menu is shown, but grub doe's seem to start the kernel... | 21:26 |
| pog | it starts with qemu, and on the acer laptop. | 21:27 |
| pog | probably not a xubuntu related problem, but other other usb-devices boot. | 21:27 |
| charlie-tca | Don't know. I don't know enough about booting from the usb sticks | 21:28 |
| pog | it also booted on an dell laptop... | 21:28 |
| pog | the strange thing ist that grub menu is shown... | 21:29 |
| pog | o.k probably not xubuntu related. | 21:29 |
| charlie-tca | balvonas: have you seen this on using proxies ? http://popey.com/blog/2010/02/25/proxies-in-the-way-of-testing/ | 22:22 |
| youareno6 | Is http://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad the best resource to alter the trackpad settings. Seems like it might be out of date. | 22:38 |
| youareno6 | I am using 9.10 | 22:38 |
| balvonas | charlie-tca: good post, may be useful some other time | 22:55 |
