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 =( [08:28] titan_ark: only if you are using a version control system [08:28] titan_ark: which is generally a great idea if you are writing code [08:30] TheSheep, managed to recover them, there was a backup witha trailing ~ [08:30] cool, but I would still learn to use a version control system [08:31] TheSheep, okay. need to find out what that is [08:31] titan_ark: try hgint.com, it's a good tutorial [08:31] hginit.com [08:32] titan_ark: it's especially useful if you plan to ever work as a programmer professionally [08:33] TheSheep, :) cool thanks a ton! [12:00] 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 [12:01] assuming you did install the proprietary drivers for your video card/chip? [12:01] kangarooo: what did you do just before that happened? [12:02] changed grub. sudo mousepad etc/default/grub and changed to grub only be visible only 1 second. then sudo update-grub [12:03] then restarted [12:03] kangarooo: nothing else? [12:03] kangarooo: any updates or anything? [12:03] yes nothing else. only using firefox and skype. clean install. vlc installed ntfs config installed [12:04] kangarooo: can you pastebin the output of the 'xrandr' command? [12:04] i last 2 days iwe made 4 xubuntu installations for my friends :) [12:04] Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 800 x 600, maximum 2048 x 2048 [12:04] VGA1 connected 800x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm [12:04] 800x600 60.3* [12:04] 640x480 59.9 [12:05] !pastebin [12:05] 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] (for the future) [12:05] kangarooo: now 'lspci | grep VGA' ? [12:06] ah yes ok. im usually using one programm witch auto puts output to pastebin. its called pastebinit. :) ok [12:06] but if its only one line then also pastebin ? [12:07] no, paste it directly [12:07] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [12:08] kangarooo: ok, now [12:08] kangarooo: 'lsmod | grep video' [12:09] http://pastebin.com/uewnhqKk [12:10] hmm... it looks good [12:10] any external monitor? [12:11] no [12:13] kangarooo: what version of xubuntu is that? [12:13] 9.10 2 days ago installed [12:14] 2 days ago dowloaded. but still asking for 180mb of update [12:15] 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] i reinstalled also my laptop today and it asked only 148mb of updates but yesterday and after yesterday on PCs updates was 180mb [12:16] but yesterday on this computer resolution was much bigger till 1400 something [12:17] kangarooo: I would try that modeset trick in the /etc/defaults/grub [12:18] i set from 10 to 1 GRUB_TIMEOUT="1" [12:19] change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash modeset=0" [12:20] sudo mousepad /etc/default/grub then sudo update-grub [12:20] ok [12:21] done so now i restart and come back [12:21] yes [12:24] any luck? [12:24] TheSheep: nothing changed. even in grub didnt saw any changes. video resolutions still showing only those 2 small resolutions [12:25] update-grub2 maybe [12:25] done now restarting [12:28] oh wait forgot to look at grub :) but that doesnt change anything in resolutions [12:28] ok, can you pastebing your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [12:28] pastebin [12:28] why should i change grub if problem is not ingrub. i need resolution to work [12:28] ok [12:29] 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 [12:34] http://pastebin.com/9wNge4pP [12:35] 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 [12:39] kangarooo: this is a laptop or a desktop computer with a monitor screen? [12:39] desktop pc with lcd wxga philips monitor [12:40] 19" 1440x900 [12:41] it looks like the monitor suddenly stopped reporting correctly what resolutions it supports [12:41] maybe somehow its possible to put old grub back? the one from clean install? [12:41] it's not the grub [12:41] yeah but maybe after update-grub it started thinking theres no monitor or lost some line [12:43] can you try this command: xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1440x900 [12:43] sorry [12:43] it's: xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900 [12:44] xrandr: cannot find mode 1440x900 [12:44] and tryd also xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1440x900 and it didnt showed anything [12:44] xrandr --addmode VGA1 1440x900 [12:44] how about this one? [12:45] xrandr: cannot find mode "1440x900" [12:45] groan [12:45] groan: command not found [12:46] heh [12:46] ok, lets try editing xorg.conf [12:46] do: sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:47] then copy the first example from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Setting%20resolution%20changes%20in%20xorg.conf%20--%20resolution%20lower%20than%20expected [12:48] wow its empty [12:48] yeah, it's autodetected by default [12:48] we are going to disable autodetection [12:49] all whats in the middle from line Change the default xorg.conf till line To ? or from line To ? [12:49] wait, i will make it [12:50] http://paste.pocoo.org/show/184255/ [12:50] here [12:50] put this in there [12:51] save and logout and log back in [12:52] why ctrl alt backspace isnt working anymore? [12:53] somebody wanted to use it for something else and complained that it restarted his X [12:53] ok im comming back [12:53] * ablomen has hit ctrl+alt+backspace many, many times by accident [12:53] and i guess im not the only one [12:53] oh.. [12:53] ablomen: it's your fault! I hate you! [12:53] lol :P [12:54] honestly, how can you press that by mistake? [12:54] those keys are pretty far apart [12:54] i've never hitten it by accident, but missed it countless times [12:54] hear hear [12:55] well, the home and end buttons are right above it on my laptop [12:55] so technicly its dell's fault! [12:55] yes now all is good [12:55] kangarooo: great! [12:55] after log out the login screen showed better resolution [12:57] 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] ur solution was different then in that page [12:57] TheSheep, you see! >> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B000PGG0BM/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=172282&s=electronics [12:59] ablomen: I still can't imagine what you need alt+ctrl+home and alt+ctrl+end for [12:59] ablomen: will that keyboard also go in my old Yakumo laptop? are all laptop keybords the same? [12:59] TheSheep, move a window to the next-prev desktop [12:59] is default afaik [12:59] kangarooo, don't think so [13:00] they all are different, pretty much [13:06] 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 ? [13:08] kangarooo: that's where I got it from [13:09] kangarooo: I'm not that smart myself ;) [13:09] no ur solution was different then in that page [13:11] kangarooo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution#Problem:%20%20Autodetection%20results%20in%20reduced%20resolutions%20available [13:11] kangarooo: I used this [13:12] well this one looks more like ur solution but still some names are different and som more lines ur solution has [13:13] it doesn't matter === myrtti is now known as Myrtti [13:17] so witch line is the most important? [13:17] i just found someone also has this problem and im writing ur solution [13:44] wth in this new installation in firefox ctrl + shift + t opends bookmarks not reopens last closed tab [14:35] i can't change my wallpapaer can you guys help me [14:37] where is problem?

[19:24] you could ask on #ubuntu also [19:25] ideas [19:26] Does it work to add those to the menu line for normal startup? [19:28] Sysi-: i have already done. no ideas [19:29] charlie-tca: no. just by recovery mode startx works [19:29] No errors noted when you remove quiet splash from grub line? [19:30] Can you switch to a tty using Ctrl+Alt+F2? [19:30] charlie-tca: oh, i dont know. because i never tried that [19:30] or are the tty's blank too [19:30] charlie-tca: ttys are all blank [19:31] Try removing quiet splash and adding acpi=off noapic in place of them [19:31] charlie-tca: ok [19:31] If that fails, try just removing quiet splash and see if there are any messages [19:32] charlie-tca: it works! [19:32] What version is this? [19:33] 9.10? [19:33] charlie-tca: but another problem is: my pcmcia-to-usb2.0 card does not work [19:33] charlie-tca: xubuntu910 [19:33] One at a time. [19:34] To make the change permanent, edit /etc/default/grub . [19:35] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Hello, is it possible to install xubuntu via network? [19:35] yes [19:35] 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] give me a minute to find it [19:37] here it is: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/ [19:37] <[BG]ZloboMiR> 10x again [19:38] 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? [19:39] charlie-tca: what about the pcmcia-to-usb card? [19:39] [BG]ZloboMiR: like this - http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/NetBoot [19:40] robinking623: Need someone else to help with that one. I don't know much about pcmcia [19:40] charlie-tca: ok. but thx a lot [19:40] np, glad I could help a little [19:42] <[BG]ZloboMiR> robinking623, is it a short story? Try me, altho I don't know much too [19:45] [BG]ZloboMiR: i have some problems with my pcmcia card [19:49] <[BG]ZloboMiR> robinking623, ok, listening [19:49] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Card for what, network? [19:49] [BG]ZloboMiR: and i can find it with lspci, but it doesnot work [19:49] [BG]ZloboMiR: for usb2.0 [19:50] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Do you know the brand and model? [19:51] [BG]ZloboMiR: yes. O2 Micro. Inc. OZ601/6912/711E0 Cardbus/SmartCardBus controller [19:52] <[BG]ZloboMiR> second... [19:52] [BG]ZloboMiR: i am googling too [19:54] <[BG]ZloboMiR> :) [19:55] [BG]ZloboMiR: maybe it is just the pcmcia controller, not the card [19:55] [BG]ZloboMiR: that means the Kernel does not recognize it [19:57] <[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 [19:58] [BG]ZloboMiR: but the card works under ubuntu804 [19:59] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Well, install it, then install over the xfce [19:59] <[BG]ZloboMiR> A bit ugly workaround, I agree [20:01] [BG]ZloboMiR: you mean kernel? [20:01] [BG]ZloboMiR: no~~~~~~~ [20:07] <[BG]ZloboMiR> I mean to install the working distro, then change the graphical manager [20:46] Afternoon folks. Anyone around to help answer a question? [20:49] yes, what's up [20:49] sorry, I'll be abck in a second... just ran out of space on my / partition (oops) [20:51] 10gb in syslog and messages... go figure? [20:52] I'm having problems getting linksys network card working. What sort of info do you need to help. [20:52] ? [20:57] 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] yes, it should [20:59] 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] You can use wicd, instead of Network-Manager [21:00] pros/cons? [21:01] personal choice, mostly [21:02] 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) [21:07] QUESTION - how do I stop Xubuntu from loading XChat & Orage up whenever the computer boots up? [21:08] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Well, there should be something like Startup Applications [21:08] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Just wait a bit, installing now [21:08] uncheck them in Applications -> Settings -> Session and Startup [21:08] <[BG]ZloboMiR> Yep, this one [21:08] Then uncheck "save session" when shutting down if they are running [21:09] Oh, That is the Application [21:09] autostart tab, too [21:44] Xubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3 Live CD won't boot on my laptop. :-\ [21:45] likemindead: F6, acpi=off and noapic [21:45] I'll give that a try. Thanks! [21:46] charlie-tca: pcmcia may need acpi or apic? [21:47] I don't think so, I think they are for power saving [21:47] suspend may not work [21:48] shutdown may give a line about shut down, and then hang. I don't think they affect pcmcia, though [21:48] charlie-tca: but apic = Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller [21:48] So what is it doing? [21:48] I've been using Xubuntu 9.10 since Alpha 6 with no serious issues on this laptop. :D [21:49] Really looking forward, as always, to upgrading. [21:49] likemindead: what video? [21:49] Oh! live cd. Give it about 20 minutes to bring up the desktop [21:50] seriously, 20 minutes [21:51] Yikes... maybe I'll wait 'til Beta... [21:53] The live cd is a little slower than normal. but after installation, it is faster than 9.10 [21:53] It takes me 13-15 minutes to get the live desktop, but the boot time after installation is about 20 seconds [21:54] Score. [21:55] 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? [21:58] question - How can I access shared files on my Windows XP PC, from my Xubuntu laptop? they both use the same router [21:59] Chaiwalla: use gigolo in Applications -> System [21:59] greetings, I was here asking about wifi prblems earlier... anyone able to help now? [21:59] ok I'll check it [21:59] thanks [22:00] or maybe it is called shared folders [22:00] yeah, i see shared folders [22:03] (or maybe "remote filesystems" [22:03] ) [22:06] hmmm [22:06] I don't see the folder in shared folders [22:06] oh, I'll try remote filysystems [22:07] mr_pouit - remote filesystems found the windows PC, but says "no shares found" [22:12] I think you have to set up the windows folders as shared, don't you? [22:12] they are [22:12] I just did it again too :-( [23:30] hey Sysi do you know what is tha network manager that comes with xubuntu [23:30] mine it's not on the system tray [23:30] it dasapiear [23:32] hey TheSheep can you help me [23:36] just installed 10.4 a3 on old work horse laptop, man it boots fast
