[00:07] <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 :)
[00:13] <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
[00:14] <ryanrhee90> charlie-tca thanks, i'll try that.
[00:14] <charlie-tca> Good luck with the install
[00:15] <charlie-tca> It is possible the graphics will not work for you
[00:16] <j-live> i have heard of there being issues with them, i have had 1 ubuntu based distro working on it before...

[07:06] <Myrtti> . o O ( don't they always )
[08:17] <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?
[08:18] <Myrtti> if you don't have a specific need for a certain feature in the newest version, I don't really see the point
[08:19] <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
[08:20] <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
[08:24] <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 =\
[08:25] <Myrtti> yeah, that's because the update system and philosophy is a bit different
[08:27] <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
[08:29] <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
[08:30] <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
[08:31] <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
[08:32] <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?
[08:38] <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
[08:42] <Balsaq> what version of xubuntu?
[08:44] <Peacimowen> 9.10
[08:47] <Balsaq> i would recommend 904
[08:48] <Peacimowen> What's wrong with 9.10?
[08:50] <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.
[08:51] <Peacimowen> ah
[08:51] <Balsaq> i noticed my computer, for exapmle seems to have been made for it...just by chance i guess
[08:52] <Peacimowen> I'll just keep playing until I can fix the graphics issue before switching to anything else.
[08:53] <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
[08:54] <Peacimowen> I can lower the resolution all the way to 320x240...
[08:55] <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
[09:07] <Peacimowen> huh, well that actually worked.
[09:07] <Peacimowen> I have 1024x768 with nvidias own drivers
[09:09] <Peacimowen> and damn but I like having irssi running in screen so that I could stick around irc while playing with X
[09:28] <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'
[09:29] <Myrtti> are you perchance running 64-bit?
[09:29] <dahaic> john: are you ati user? try restricted drivers
[09:30] <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?
[09:35] <john> Intel 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device to be precise actually
[09:36] <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 =)

[15:28] <subspider> thanks TheSheep
[15:32] <TheSheep> subspider: don't mention it
[15:58] <fark> I'm having a slight problem with X.org not loading, log: http://tinyurl.com/yko5ekp any ideas?
[17:20] <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
[17:21] <charlie-tca> What version?
[17:21] <DBeets> 9.1
[17:21] <charlie-tca> 9.10
[17:22] <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
[17:23] <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
[17:24] <DBeets> I'll keep all my packeges though, correct?
[17:36] <balvonas> good evening
[17:39] <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
[17:41] <balvonas> i mean some external program, i know that xfce does not have it
[18:31] <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.
[18:32] <DBeets> And now to take a snapshot :p
[18:50] <crystalsjoint> hey is there such a program to cleanup junk files on the hard drive in xubuntu?
[21:19] <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
[21:20] <charlie-tca> Also advice on how to put the menu back is in there.
[21:20] <pog> ah thanks!
[21:22] <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...
[21:25] <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 ?
[21:26] <pog> grub menu is shown, but grub doe's seem to start the kernel...
[21:27] <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.
[21:28] <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...
[21:29] <pog> the strange thing ist that grub menu is shown...
[21:29] <pog> o.k probably not xubuntu related.
[22:22] <charlie-tca> balvonas: have you seen this on using proxies ? http://popey.com/blog/2010/02/25/proxies-in-the-way-of-testing/
[22:38] <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
[22:55] <balvonas> charlie-tca: good post, may be useful some other time
