titan_ark | Hey! I am in a bit of a trouble. I changed some code in 2 files and saved em by the old name! Is there a way to recover the old files? I edited them in gedit =( | 08:18 |
TheSheep | titan_ark: only if you are using a version control system | 08:28 |
TheSheep | titan_ark: which is generally a great idea if you are writing code | 08:28 |
titan_ark | TheSheep, managed to recover them, there was a backup witha trailing ~ | 08:30 |
TheSheep | cool, but I would still learn to use a version control system | 08:30 |
titan_ark | TheSheep, okay. need to find out what that is | 08:31 |
TheSheep | titan_ark: try hgint.com, it's a good tutorial | 08:31 |
TheSheep | hginit.com | 08:31 |
TheSheep | titan_ark: it's especially useful if you plan to ever work as a programmer professionally | 08:32 |
titan_ark | TheSheep, :) cool thanks a ton! | 08:33 |
kangarooo | hello something wrong with my computer display settings. installed xubuntu 2 days ago. but 15min ago when started computer display settings was 800x600 and i cant change in setings->display to higher resolution couse higher resolution options are not showing | 12:00 |
psycho_oreos | assuming you did install the proprietary drivers for your video card/chip? | 12:01 |
TheSheep | kangarooo: what did you do just before that happened? | 12:01 |
kangarooo | changed grub. sudo mousepad etc/default/grub and changed to grub only be visible only 1 second. then sudo update-grub | 12:02 |
kangarooo | then restarted | 12:03 |
TheSheep | kangarooo: nothing else? | 12:03 |
TheSheep | kangarooo: any updates or anything? | 12:03 |
kangarooo | yes nothing else. only using firefox and skype. clean install. vlc installed ntfs config installed | 12:03 |
TheSheep | kangarooo: can you pastebin the output of the 'xrandr' command? | 12:04 |
kangarooo | i last 2 days iwe made 4 xubuntu installations for my friends :) | 12:04 |
kangarooo | Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 800 x 600, maximum 2048 x 2048 | 12:04 |
kangarooo | VGA1 connected 800x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm | 12:04 |
kangarooo | 800x600 60.3* | 12:04 |
kangarooo | 640x480 59.9 | 12:04 |
TheSheep | !pastebin | 12:05 |
ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 12:05 |
TheSheep | (for the future) | 12:05 |
TheSheep | kangarooo: now 'lspci | grep VGA' ? | 12:05 |
kangarooo | ah yes ok. im usually using one programm witch auto puts output to pastebin. its called pastebinit. :) ok | 12:06 |
kangarooo | but if its only one line then also pastebin ? | 12:06 |
TheSheep | no, paste it directly | 12:07 |
kangarooo | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) | 12:07 |
TheSheep | kangarooo: ok, now | 12:08 |
TheSheep | kangarooo: 'lsmod | grep video' | 12:08 |
kangarooo | http://pastebin.com/uewnhqKk | 12:09 |
TheSheep | hmm... it looks good | 12:10 |
TheSheep | any external monitor? | 12:10 |
kangarooo | no | 12:11 |
TheSheep | kangarooo: what version of xubuntu is that? | 12:13 |
kangarooo | 9.10 2 days ago installed | 12:13 |
kangarooo | 2 days ago dowloaded. but still asking for 180mb of update | 12:14 |
TheSheep | kangarooo: I found this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution#Problem: Resolution with Intel graphics was correct in Intrepid or Jaunty (with no xorg.conf configuration) but is limited in Karmic | 12:15 |
kangarooo | i reinstalled also my laptop today and it asked only 148mb of updates but yesterday and after yesterday on PCs updates was 180mb | 12:15 |
kangarooo | but yesterday on this computer resolution was much bigger till 1400 something | 12:16 |
TheSheep | kangarooo: I would try that modeset trick in the /etc/defaults/grub | 12:17 |
kangarooo | i set from 10 to 1 GRUB_TIMEOUT="1" | 12:18 |
TheSheep | change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash modeset=0" | 12:19 |
kangarooo | sudo mousepad /etc/default/grub then sudo update-grub | 12:20 |
kangarooo | ok | 12:20 |
kangarooo | done so now i restart and come back | 12:21 |
TheSheep | yes | 12:21 |
TheSheep | any luck? | 12:24 |
kangarooo | TheSheep: nothing changed. even in grub didnt saw any changes. video resolutions still showing only those 2 small resolutions | 12:24 |
TheSheep | update-grub2 maybe | 12:25 |
kangarooo | done now restarting | 12:25 |
kangarooo | oh wait forgot to look at grub :) but that doesnt change anything in resolutions | 12:28 |
TheSheep | ok, can you pastebing your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 12:28 |
TheSheep | pastebin | 12:28 |
kangarooo | why should i change grub if problem is not ingrub. i need resolution to work | 12:28 |
kangarooo | ok | 12:28 |
TheSheep | kangarooo: resolutions in Karmic are now detected by kernel on startup, and it's grub that passes parameters to kernel that may affect resolution detecting | 12:29 |
kangarooo | http://pastebin.com/9wNge4pP | 12:34 |
kangarooo | eh sory so long i was trying to get pastebinit to work. installed pastebinit and tryd pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log but it showed only link to http://pastebin.com | 12:35 |
TheSheep | kangarooo: this is a laptop or a desktop computer with a monitor screen? | 12:39 |
kangarooo | desktop pc with lcd wxga philips monitor | 12:39 |
kangarooo | 19" 1440x900 | 12:40 |
TheSheep | it looks like the monitor suddenly stopped reporting correctly what resolutions it supports | 12:41 |
kangarooo | maybe somehow its possible to put old grub back? the one from clean install? | 12:41 |
TheSheep | it's not the grub | 12:41 |
kangarooo | yeah but maybe after update-grub it started thinking theres no monitor or lost some line | 12:41 |
TheSheep | can you try this command: xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1440x900 | 12:43 |
TheSheep | sorry | 12:43 |
TheSheep | it's: xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900 | 12:43 |
kangarooo | xrandr: cannot find mode 1440x900 | 12:44 |
kangarooo | and tryd also xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1440x900 and it didnt showed anything | 12:44 |
TheSheep | xrandr --addmode VGA1 1440x900 | 12:44 |
TheSheep | how about this one? | 12:44 |
kangarooo | xrandr: cannot find mode "1440x900" | 12:45 |
TheSheep | groan | 12:45 |
kangarooo | groan: command not found | 12:45 |
TheSheep | heh | 12:46 |
TheSheep | ok, lets try editing xorg.conf | 12:46 |
TheSheep | do: sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:46 |
TheSheep | then copy the first example from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Setting%20resolution%20changes%20in%20xorg.conf%20--%20resolution%20lower%20than%20expected | 12:47 |
kangarooo | wow its empty | 12:48 |
TheSheep | yeah, it's autodetected by default | 12:48 |
TheSheep | we are going to disable autodetection | 12:48 |
kangarooo | all whats in the middle from line Change the default xorg.conf till line To ? or from line To ? | 12:49 |
TheSheep | wait, i will make it | 12:49 |
TheSheep | http://paste.pocoo.org/show/184255/ | 12:50 |
TheSheep | here | 12:50 |
TheSheep | put this in there | 12:50 |
TheSheep | save and logout and log back in | 12:51 |
kangarooo | why ctrl alt backspace isnt working anymore? | 12:52 |
TheSheep | somebody wanted to use it for something else and complained that it restarted his X | 12:53 |
kangarooo | ok im comming back | 12:53 |
* ablomen has hit ctrl+alt+backspace many, many times by accident | 12:53 | |
ablomen | and i guess im not the only one | 12:53 |
ablomen | oh.. | 12:53 |
TheSheep | ablomen: it's your fault! I hate you! | 12:53 |
ablomen | lol :P | 12:53 |
TheSheep | honestly, how can you press that by mistake? | 12:54 |
TheSheep | those keys are pretty far apart | 12:54 |
Sysi- | i've never hitten it by accident, but missed it countless times | 12:54 |
TheSheep | hear hear | 12:54 |
ablomen | well, the home and end buttons are right above it on my laptop | 12:55 |
ablomen | so technicly its dell's fault! | 12:55 |
kangarooo | yes now all is good | 12:55 |
TheSheep | kangarooo: great! | 12:55 |
kangarooo | after log out the login screen showed better resolution | 12:55 |
kangarooo | thx a lot :) this problems solution would be making better use if posted to launchpad. maybe then ill post this problem or that wiki page should have this solution included? | 12:57 |
kangarooo | ur solution was different then in that page | 12:57 |
ablomen | TheSheep, you see! >> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B000PGG0BM/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=172282&s=electronics | 12:57 |
TheSheep | ablomen: I still can't imagine what you need alt+ctrl+home and alt+ctrl+end for | 12:59 |
kangarooo | ablomen: will that keyboard also go in my old Yakumo laptop? are all laptop keybords the same? | 12:59 |
ablomen | TheSheep, move a window to the next-prev desktop | 12:59 |
ablomen | is default afaik | 12:59 |
ablomen | kangarooo, don't think so | 12:59 |
TheSheep | they all are different, pretty much | 13:00 |
kangarooo | TheSheep: maybe ur solution should also be uploadet to that page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Setting%20resolution%20changes%20in%20xorg.conf%20--%20resolution%20lower%20than%20expected ? | 13:06 |
TheSheep | kangarooo: that's where I got it from | 13:08 |
TheSheep | kangarooo: I'm not that smart myself ;) | 13:09 |
kangarooo | no ur solution was different then in that page | 13:09 |
TheSheep | kangarooo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution#Problem:%20%20Autodetection%20results%20in%20reduced%20resolutions%20available | 13:11 |
TheSheep | kangarooo: I used this | 13:11 |
kangarooo | well this one looks more like ur solution but still some names are different and som more lines ur solution has | 13:12 |
TheSheep | it doesn't matter | 13:13 |
=== myrtti is now known as Myrtti | ||
kangarooo | so witch line is the most important? | 13:17 |
kangarooo | i just found someone also has this problem and im writing ur solution | 13:17 |

robinking623 | hello everyone | 19:01 |
robinking623 | i have an old laptop, and i try to install xubuntu910 on it. with the "acpi=off noapic" i have already installed the system, but after reboot i can not start it. the whole screen is black, but i can start my deskop with "acpi=off noapic single" in recoverymode. what should i do nowß | 19:04 |
robinking623 | btw, the laptop has celeron 2GHz with 512mb and intel 815 chipset | 19:06 |
robinking623 | any ideas? | 19:22 |
Sysi- | you could ask on #ubuntu also | 19:24 |
charlie-tca | ideas | 19:25 |
charlie-tca | Does it work to add those to the menu line for normal startup? | 19:26 |
robinking623 | Sysi-: i have already done. no ideas | 19:28 |
robinking623 | charlie-tca: no. just by recovery mode startx works | 19:29 |
charlie-tca | No errors noted when you remove quiet splash from grub line? | 19:29 |
charlie-tca | Can you switch to a tty using Ctrl+Alt+F2? | 19:30 |
robinking623 | charlie-tca: oh, i dont know. because i never tried that | 19:30 |
charlie-tca | or are the tty's blank too | 19:30 |
robinking623 | charlie-tca: ttys are all blank | 19:30 |
charlie-tca | Try removing quiet splash and adding acpi=off noapic in place of them | 19:31 |
robinking623 | charlie-tca: ok | 19:31 |
charlie-tca | If that fails, try just removing quiet splash and see if there are any messages | 19:31 |
robinking623 | charlie-tca: it works! | 19:32 |
charlie-tca | What version is this? | 19:32 |
charlie-tca | 9.10? | 19:33 |
robinking623 | charlie-tca: but another problem is: my pcmcia-to-usb2.0 card does not work | 19:33 |
robinking623 | charlie-tca: xubuntu910 | 19:33 |
charlie-tca | One at a time. | 19:33 |
charlie-tca | To make the change permanent, edit /etc/default/grub . | 19:34 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | Hello, is it possible to install xubuntu via network? | 19:35 |
charlie-tca | yes | 19:35 |
charlie-tca | You can use netboot from : | 19:35 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | I checked the site, however didn't see info | 19:35 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | 10x | 19:35 |
charlie-tca | give me a minute to find it | 19:35 |
charlie-tca | here it is: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/ | 19:37 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | 10x again | 19:37 |
charlie-tca | and here for 64bit: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/ | 19:38 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | No, 32 is my stuff... so I need to burn mini.iso? | 19:38 |
robinking623 | charlie-tca: what about the pcmcia-to-usb card? | 19:39 |
charlie-tca | [BG]ZloboMiR: like this - http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/NetBoot | 19:39 |
charlie-tca | robinking623: Need someone else to help with that one. I don't know much about pcmcia | 19:40 |
robinking623 | charlie-tca: ok. but thx a lot | 19:40 |
charlie-tca | np, glad I could help a little | 19:40 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | robinking623, is it a short story? Try me, altho I don't know much too | 19:42 |
robinking623 | [BG]ZloboMiR: i have some problems with my pcmcia card | 19:45 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | robinking623, ok, listening | 19:49 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | Card for what, network? | 19:49 |
robinking623 | [BG]ZloboMiR: and i can find it with lspci, but it doesnot work | 19:49 |
robinking623 | [BG]ZloboMiR: for usb2.0 | 19:49 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | Do you know the brand and model? | 19:50 |
robinking623 | [BG]ZloboMiR: yes. O2 Micro. Inc. OZ601/6912/711E0 Cardbus/SmartCardBus controller | 19:51 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | second... | 19:52 |
robinking623 | [BG]ZloboMiR: i am googling too | 19:52 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | :) | 19:54 |
robinking623 | [BG]ZloboMiR: maybe it is just the pcmcia controller, not the card | 19:55 |
robinking623 | [BG]ZloboMiR: that means the Kernel does not recognize it | 19:55 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | robinking623, http://joro.geodar.com/diary/2005/12/17/248/ << it is on Bulgarian, but a laptop owner states that this card is supported under Linux | 19:57 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | Ето и информацията под Линукс: | 19:57 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | The fourth row below this | 19:57 |
robinking623 | [BG]ZloboMiR: but the card works under ubuntu804 | 19:58 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | Well, install it, then install over the xfce | 19:59 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | A bit ugly workaround, I agree | 19:59 |
robinking623 | [BG]ZloboMiR: you mean kernel? | 20:01 |
robinking623 | [BG]ZloboMiR: no~~~~~~~ | 20:01 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | I mean to install the working distro, then change the graphical manager | 20:07 |
russell__ | Afternoon folks. Anyone around to help answer a question? | 20:46 |
Sysi- | yes, what's up | 20:49 |
russell__ | sorry, I'll be abck in a second... just ran out of space on my / partition (oops) | 20:49 |
russell__ | 10gb in syslog and messages... go figure? | 20:51 |
russell__ | I'm having problems getting linksys network card working. What sort of info do you need to help. | 20:52 |
russell__ | ? | 20:52 |
russell__ | lsusb shows the card but no wlan0 in iwconfig. I haven't had this problem since 8.04 (ubuntu). Does nm-applet work in xubuntu? | 20:57 |
charlie-tca | yes, it should | 20:57 |
russell__ | ok, I might gve that a try... solved so many problems in Ubuntu. Is there other options? Baked in wireless support in xubuntu? | 20:59 |
charlie-tca | You can use wicd, instead of Network-Manager | 20:59 |
russell__ | pros/cons? | 21:00 |
charlie-tca | personal choice, mostly | 21:01 |
russell__ | I'll check them both out. I'm not the primary user of the computer, so ease of use is optimal (Id just write to the conf files if I knew I wouldn't have to fix it next time somthing went wrong) | 21:02 |
Chaiwalla | QUESTION - how do I stop Xubuntu from loading XChat & Orage up whenever the computer boots up? | 21:07 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | Well, there should be something like Startup Applications | 21:08 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | Just wait a bit, installing now | 21:08 |
charlie-tca | uncheck them in Applications -> Settings -> Session and Startup | 21:08 |
[BG]ZloboMiR | Yep, this one | 21:08 |
charlie-tca | Then uncheck "save session" when shutting down if they are running | 21:08 |
charlie-tca | Oh, That is the Application | 21:09 |
charlie-tca | autostart tab, too | 21:09 |
likemindead | Xubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 Live CD won't boot on my laptop. :-\ | 21:44 |
robinking623 | likemindead: F6, acpi=off and noapic | 21:45 |
likemindead | I'll give that a try. Thanks! | 21:45 |
robinking623 | charlie-tca: pcmcia may need acpi or apic? | 21:46 |
charlie-tca | I don't think so, I think they are for power saving | 21:47 |
charlie-tca | suspend may not work | 21:47 |
charlie-tca | shutdown may give a line about shut down, and then hang. I don't think they affect pcmcia, though | 21:48 |
robinking623 | charlie-tca: but apic = Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller | 21:48 |
charlie-tca | So what is it doing? | 21:48 |
likemindead | I've been using Xubuntu 9.10 since Alpha 6 with no serious issues on this laptop. :D | 21:48 |
likemindead | Really looking forward, as always, to upgrading. | 21:49 |
charlie-tca | likemindead: what video? | 21:49 |
charlie-tca | Oh! live cd. Give it about 20 minutes to bring up the desktop | 21:49 |
charlie-tca | seriously, 20 minutes | 21:50 |
likemindead | Yikes... maybe I'll wait 'til Beta... | 21:51 |
charlie-tca | The live cd is a little slower than normal. but after installation, it is faster than 9.10 | 21:53 |
charlie-tca | It takes me 13-15 minutes to get the live desktop, but the boot time after installation is about 20 seconds | 21:53 |
likemindead | Score. | 21:54 |
dimuls | hi2all, i just installed xubuntu 9.10. xfwm4 doesn't run. i need to press alt+f2 and enter xfwm4 manually. how 2 make it load automatically? | 21:55 |
Chaiwalla | question - How can I access shared files on my Windows XP PC, from my Xubuntu laptop? they both use the same router | 21:58 |
charlie-tca | Chaiwalla: use gigolo in Applications -> System | 21:59 |
downstairs | greetings, I was here asking about wifi prblems earlier... anyone able to help now? | 21:59 |
Chaiwalla | ok I'll check it | 21:59 |
