| _Techie_ | hatake_kakashi, i believe it was the 2.0 being detected as 1.1 bug | 00:22 |

| dbdii407 | There was a development server that xUbuntu has with all the wallpapers, and stuff. Anyone have that link? | 02:48 |
| JackVermicelli | Hiyas. Could someone point me to instructions for getting fullscreen games to display on only one screen or the other, under Twinview? | 02:55 |

| dbdii407 | I'm attempting to find the Murrina Storm Cloud GTK. The only place I remember finding it was that development server. Unless someone knows where else I can find it | 04:23 |
| Balsaq | good morning native xubuntu tribesman.... | 05:54 |
| Balsaq | welcome _ _ _ _ _ _ _maddog | 05:57 |
| Balsaq | yo _Techie_ | 06:01 |
| __Techie__ | great, i got DC'd and now i gotta wait for my other half to pung | 06:07 |
| Balsaq | i hate that when that happens | 06:08 |
| __Techie__ | i installed karmic today so im back in buiseness | 06:08 |
| __Techie__ | there i go | 06:09 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | Hi, I want to remove xubuntu and Grub from my pc. Will formatting the partition that I installed xubuntu to remove grub as well? | 06:09 |
| === __Techie__ is now known as _Techie_ | ||
| _Techie_ | are you removing it from a dualboot system? | 06:09 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | yeah. | 06:09 |
| _Techie_ | whats the other operating system thats installed? | 06:09 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | xp. | 06:09 |
| _Techie_ | do you have the cd? | 06:10 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | for xp or for xub? | 06:10 |
| _Techie_ | xp | 06:10 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | No. Eeepc preinstall bs. | 06:10 |
| _Techie_ | oh | 06:10 |
| _Techie_ | hrmm | 06:10 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | no cd drive either :S | 06:11 |
| _Techie_ | this makes things awkward | 06:11 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | yeah. I installed xub from usb. | 06:11 |
| _Techie_ | its entirely possible to remove xub but heres the catch | 06:11 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | :S | 06:11 |
| _Techie_ | you remove the partition, you remove grub | 06:11 |
| _Techie_ | no grub = no bootloader | 06:12 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | aah. | 06:12 |
| _Techie_ | no bootloader = no booting | 06:12 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | I need xp bootloader. | 06:12 |
| _Techie_ | so what is needed | 06:12 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | I have an xp cd from another pc. | 06:12 |
| _Techie_ | is to boot into a xp CD, and run the recovery console | 06:12 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | make a minimalist usb bootdisk? | 06:12 |
| _Techie_ | once in recovery console run the command fixboot and fixmbr | 06:12 |
| _Techie_ | hower | 06:12 |
| _Techie_ | however* | 06:12 |
| _Techie_ | if its a SP3 CD it doesnt include the recovery console so you will have to download an iso of the SP3 recovery console | 06:13 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | sp2. ;) | 06:13 |
| _Techie_ | your in luck | 06:13 |
| _Techie_ | find a way to boot that CD and youll be on your way | 06:14 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | k. so. usb bootdisk, fixboot and fixmbr | 06:14 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | from commandline i'm guessing? | 06:14 |
| _Techie_ | yeah its a command line | 06:14 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | I'm not used to recovering systems. | 06:14 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | thanks heaps techie. | 06:14 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | saved my life(pc) | 06:15 |
| _Techie_ | no problem, come back if you get stuck | 06:15 |
| GoddamnmaddoG | willdo. | 06:15 |
| _Techie_ | i like his palindromic name | 06:15 |
| AppleSaq | ok _techie_ | 06:30 |
| _Techie_ | ~477b75e0@gateway/web/freenode/x-yrtjrifqfzkfgiwq | 06:30 |
| MobiusJedi | how do i edit keyboard shortcuts in xub? | 06:35 |
| embeddedRobot | hey guys, i've just compiled Xubuntu 9.10 for my BeagleBoard (arm-based), but the only user displayed is "Ubuntu System User". I've searched around, but I'm not sure how to add another user, or login as root from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! | 06:38 |
| _Techie_ | does the system user have sudo? | 06:38 |
| embeddedRobot | well, that's the thing, i can't get to a terminal. Im stuck at the login window | 06:39 |
| _Techie_ | hrmm | 06:39 |
| _Techie_ | so you ompiled it with no inbuilt account | 06:39 |
| _Techie_ | compiled* | 06:39 |
| embeddedRobot | apparently so, forgive my n00bness, this is the first time i've compiled a linux distro | 06:40 |
| _Techie_ | well youve gotten further than i have | 06:40 |
| embeddedRobot | i used rootstock to compile it | 06:40 |
| embeddedRobot | haha | 06:40 |
| embeddedRobot | it wasn't hard, but it took bout 30 min :p | 06:41 |
| _Techie_ | although ive never had to compile a distro for anything | 06:41 |
| _Techie_ | have you tried asking in #linux and #ubuntu | 06:41 |
| embeddedRobot | no i haven't | 06:41 |
| embeddedRobot | i'll check there next | 06:41 |
| _Techie_ | ask for help adding users before you compile | 06:41 |
| embeddedRobot | oh well, thanks for the response though :) | 06:42 |
| _Techie_ | or | 06:42 |
| _Techie_ | im sure theres a way of getting into the system account | 06:42 |
| embeddedRobot | haha, yeah i was hoping, but it seems they keep a lid on the default root password | 06:43 |
| _Techie_ | there is no root password | 06:43 |
| embeddedRobot | really....hmmm | 06:43 |
| _Techie_ | root is disabled by default in all *buntu distributions | 06:43 |
| embeddedRobot | right | 06:43 |
| _Techie_ | its activated by giving it a password | 06:43 |
| embeddedRobot | hmm....yeah sort of a catch 22 since i can't get to a terminal though... | 06:44 |
| _Techie_ | in a normal *buntu distro you would do so by issuing sudo passwd root | 06:44 |
| embeddedRobot | right | 06:44 |
| _Techie_ | what keys do you have? | 06:44 |
| embeddedRobot | sorry, what do you mean? | 06:44 |
| _Techie_ | is it a standard keyboard? | 06:44 |
| embeddedRobot | yes | 06:44 |
| embeddedRobot | USA | 06:44 |
| _Techie_ | ctrl + alt + F1 | 06:45 |
| embeddedRobot | ok | 06:45 |
| _Techie_ | should put you into a TTY terminal | 06:45 |
| embeddedRobot | yes | 06:45 |
| embeddedRobot | im there now | 06:45 |
| _Techie_ | is it pre logged in? | 06:45 |
| embeddedRobot | no | 06:45 |
| _Techie_ | i just had an idea | 06:45 |
| embeddedRobot | it's just a tty login | 06:45 |
| _Techie_ | is it using grub to boot>? | 06:45 |
| embeddedRobot | what's that? | 06:45 |
| _Techie_ | youll see | 06:45 |
| embeddedRobot | no it's a custom u-boot image | 06:45 |
| _Techie_ | no, i mean the bootloader | 06:46 |
| _Techie_ | !grub | 06:46 |
| ubottu | grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 06:46 |
| embeddedRobot | that is the boot loader | 06:46 |
| _Techie_ | is there anway to change the startup commands | 06:46 |
| embeddedRobot | i think so | 06:46 |
| embeddedRobot | ... | 06:46 |
| embeddedRobot | yes you can | 06:47 |
| _Techie_ | suffix the startup command with single | 06:47 |
| _Techie_ | that will tell it to boot into single user mode aka insta root | 06:47 |
| _Techie_ | with luck | 06:47 |
| embeddedRobot | ok, i'll give that a shot | 06:47 |
| faron | Hello everybody.Hopefully all are well today.I was wondering-I am currently using Xubuntu 8.04 {Hardy Heron} & decided to give the new 3.6 version of Firefox a try. Well,I'm having some problems & I was wondering if anybody else was.It seems that I can no longer watch my favorite late night show http://www.cbs.com/late_night/late_late_show/ {Craig Fergusons Late,Late Show}-{flash player 10.0 r45 not working} Anybody have any ideas | 06:48 |
| embeddedRobot | thanks a lot for the help! | 06:48 |
| embeddedRobot | I'll be back later with the results | 06:48 |
| _Techie_ | huh | 06:48 |
| _Techie_ | oh wait.... i confused myself, i gotta stop reading IRC too fast | 06:49 |
| _Techie_ | faron, have you updated your flash player and mozilla firefox plugin? | 06:49 |
| MobiusJedi | I am far too UbNewbish to have ideas for helping you faron, other than. . . what Techie just said | 06:49 |
| faron | Gee techie-I usually read it too slow ! Ha,ha. | 06:49 |
| faron | updated ? Uh,no.I alredy have the latest version | 06:50 |
| _Techie_ | i saw embeddedRobot's name and read you problem faron, so what i read was | 06:50 |
| _Techie_ | hello heres my problem, thanks for the help, ill be back later | 06:50 |
| MobiusJedi | . . . would it be wrong if I did that later? | 06:52 |
| _Techie_ | faron, sudo apt-get upgrade | 06:53 |
| faron | thanks for your reply anyway mobiusjedi | 06:54 |
| faron | ookay | 06:54 |
| _Techie_ | if your flash palyer is out of date that will update it | 06:54 |
| _Techie_ | and every other out of date package on your system | 06:54 |
| MobiusJedi | "hello here's my problem, thanks for the help, later!" | 06:54 |
| MobiusJedi | here's my problem though: in gnome i could edit shortcuts through a dialogue, but i can't find anything in xubuntu's menu to edit system keyboard shortcuts... | 06:54 |
| MobiusJedi | anyone point me in the right direction? | 06:54 |
| _Techie_ | i cant exactly be much help with that, im a windows user with benefits and i use standard ubuntu as my secondary OS so i could tell you how to do it in gnome, but not in xfce4 | 06:56 |
| faron | techie.....looks like all is well there | 06:56 |
| _Techie_ | hrmm | 06:57 |
| _Techie_ | just to make sure, sudo apt-get update then run sudo apt-get upgrade | 06:57 |
| _Techie_ | just to make sure | 06:57 |
| faron | what I would like to do maybe is like uninstall all the plugins & extensions & start from scratch......maybe that would work.Do you know how to do that ? | 06:58 |
| faron | hmmmmm | 06:58 |
| _Techie_ | umm, im thinking | 06:59 |
| _Techie_ | other than usign apt to remove each plugin im at a blank | 06:59 |
| faron | techie could you explain to me how to do that "apt remove" thing ? ? | 07:01 |
| faron | sorry.......... | 07:01 |
| _Techie_ | sudo apt-get remove packagename | 07:01 |
| faron | I'm kinda new to this | 07:01 |
| faron | oh that's all ? | 07:02 |
| _Techie_ | yeah | 07:02 |
| faron | now from what I understand....I should be able to remove all of those extensions &pluginbs all at once Am I right ? | 07:02 |
| _Techie_ | no | 07:03 |
| _Techie_ | you will have to do it one by one | 07:03 |
| faron | oh okay............. | 07:03 |
| _Techie_ | as i cant think of a way to nuke em all at once | 07:03 |
| _Techie_ | sudo apt-get remove *flash* | 07:04 |
| _Techie_ | might do something | 07:04 |
| faron | aha ! let me ask you this............... | 07:04 |
| MobiusJedi | Oh, hey faron | 07:05 |
| MobiusJedi | mozilla has a page on what to copy to start from scratch | 07:05 |
| MobiusJedi | let me find the bookmark | 07:05 |
| faron | alright mobiusjedi ! | 07:05 |
| faron | nevermind that last statement {I think} | 07:05 |
| faron | wait....... | 07:06 |
| _Techie_ | ask anyway | 07:06 |
| faron | so after I remove {all that I want} I want to be sure to have like the latest versions of everything | 07:07 |
| _Techie_ | re install it | 07:07 |
| MobiusJedi | http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile#Your_important_data_and_their_files | 07:07 |
| _Techie_ | if you apt-get install it then itl be the latest on the repository | 07:07 |
| faron | will using the terminal {sudo apt-get package} pull in the latest versions for my version 3.6 Firefox ? | 07:08 |
| faron | alright mobiusjedi ! thanks for ALL the help guys | 07:08 |
| _Techie_ | it will pull the latest version thats on the repo's | 07:08 |
| faron | see now that's 1 thing thats confusing me techie........... | 07:09 |
| faron | it pulls in what I have in Synaptic package mgr right ? | 07:09 |
| faron | let me ask this......... | 07:09 |
| _Techie_ | !ask | 07:10 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 07:10 |
| faron | apparently,I have version 3.50 of mplayerplug-in iinstalled for Firefox......I undestand that there is a version 3.555 of this how would I go about getting this ? | 07:11 |
| _Techie_ | apt-get install it if its on the repo's | 07:11 |
| faron | sudo apt-get {packagename } ? | 07:11 |
| faron | ahhhhhhhhh | 07:11 |

| _Techie_ | apt-get install | 07:12 |
| faron | I {think} you've been a great help techie.thank you very much.Now I think I'lll copy alll these instructions somewhere & get to work on this in the morning.Again....thank you very much | 07:13 |
| _Techie_ | no problem | 07:13 |
| embeddedRobot | _Techie_: got it figured out, just had to edit the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow file to reset the root password. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! | 07:14 |
| _Techie_ | no problem | 07:15 |
| embeddedRobot | (since the FS resides on a SD card, it wasn't to bad) | 07:15 |
| embeddedRobot | cool, well gnight all | 07:15 |
| faron | damn embeddedrobot.......that sounds confusing ! | 07:15 |
| faron | how do yopu spell ...aye yi yi ! ? | 07:16 |

| orl | Salut | 15:30 |
| orl | J'ai un kernel panic juste après l'install (sur un Mac Intel avec ReFiT), et je n'arrive pas à voir dans quel sens m'orienter | 15:31 |
| orl | panic: early exception 0e rip 10:ffffffff8022a93 error 0 cr2 ffffffff5fc0f0 | 15:31 |
| orl | Sorry, I thought I was on xubuntu-fr! | 15:34 |
| fuge | Hello | 16:39 |
| fuge | is it possible to install an older kernel with apt then the xubuntu 9.10's default? | 16:39 |
| Sysi | that doesn't sound reasonable | 16:43 |
| tontsa_ | how can i edit the right click menu? | 16:55 |
| tontsa_ | if it is even possible? | 17:01 |
| fuge | Sysi, if i boot 9.04 i have a working tv tuner, if i boot a 9.10 i havent. if i boot 9.04 and after 9.10 than it is working there too. yesterday somebody said that it is because of the driver module | 17:03 |
| Sysi | that sounds very odd | 17:04 |
| WierdAAR | Hello, what is the command for running a search in terminal? | 17:11 |
| fuge | find? | 17:11 |
| Sysi | find and locate | 17:11 |
| fuge | i thought that it is because of some configuration what i made, but when i removed it it was working than too. so it is simply because i boot the older os before. now i can watch tv but it isnt the best solution :) | 17:13 |
| fuge | and not i am the only one who using that trick | 17:14 |
| hannes| | short question which gtk theme uses xubuntu by default | 17:33 |
| dbdii407 | It used to use MurrinaStormCloud or something close to that. No clue what it uses now | 17:35 |
| dbdii407 | Which I'd love to get my hands on atm... | 17:35 |
| Sysi | i'd say albbatross | 17:36 |
| Sysi | -b | 17:36 |

| Sysi | what's up | 18:47 |
| gekko_ | trying to install latest driver for nvidia on here..and its only showing up to 180 | 18:48 |
| dbdii407 | Oh wow. I'm gonna like the new xUbuntu website. :D | 18:52 |
| gekko_ | are they changing xubuntus theme along with ubuntus? | 18:52 |
| Sysi | it'll also change propably but i think that not to same direction | 18:53 |
| dbdii407 | what i'm looking at has less blue that the current website | 18:54 |
| tontsa_ | does anyone know if its possible to hide the xubuntu panels behind a window | 18:55 |
| Sysi | press f11 or alt+f11 | 18:57 |
| gekko_ | not going to lie, i like xubuntu's splash WAY better than Ubuntu's | 18:58 |
| tontsa_ | yes that works, but what i mean is, as i have made a AWN like dock with xfce panel, its on top of my firefox window, i could do that key combination always when i start firefox but it would be easier just to set the panel to be on top of desktop, but under open windows | 18:59 |
| === Gost8175061 is now known as _tewz | ||

| residentgrey | i also have yet to see a completed compiled program come out of my computer yet | 20:13 |
| mtrg | residentgrey: any other linux disto u used beside noob ones like debian-based? | 20:13 |
| residentgrey | no I only have been messing with ubuntu for about a week or so | 20:14 |
| residentgrey | at least I know what sudo means ;) | 20:14 |
| saad_ | I just installed xubuntu on my computer | 20:14 |
| saad_ | And it's going really slow, like opening programs takes forever and minimizing is extremely slow. | 20:15 |
| mtrg | saad_: weird.. what r the specs? | 20:15 |
| saad_ | mtrg, AMD athalon 1600+ 1.4ghz. 256mb ram | 20:16 |
| mtrg | weird | 20:16 |
| residentgrey | ram? | 20:17 |
| saad_ | 256MB | 20:17 |
| residentgrey | meaning that could be the issue | 20:17 |
| residentgrey | the version | 20:17 |
| residentgrey | could be 1 not 2 | 20:17 |
| residentgrey | acronym escaping me | 20:17 |
| _Techie_ | anyone need help? | 20:18 |
| Sysi | i'd try minimal xubuntu with that ram | 20:18 |
| saad_ | oh ok. I read that ubuntu only requires 60MB of ram and xubuntu is better for lower spec computers | 20:18 |
| saad_ | Here is my lspci output | 20:19 |
| saad_ | http://pastebin.com/ZqGAQMZT | 20:19 |
| Sysi | !puregnome | 20:19 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal | 20:19 |
| Sysi | argh no xfce | 20:19 |
| mtrg | saad_: what's your "top", is swap used? | 20:20 |
| Sysi | or well, that won't be good way to do it | 20:20 |
| saad_ | mtrg, here's my top output: | 20:21 |
| saad_ | http://pastebin.com/SUFj3TvC | 20:21 |
| mtrg | yay, gnomebaker worked for me! | 20:21 |
| saad_ | Sysi, so I shouldn't try that in terminal? | 20:21 |
| Sysi | saad_: i'm just thinking to irc | 20:21 |
| Sysi | bad habit that | 20:21 |
| saad_ | ohk | 20:22 |
| Sysi | i thought this: http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20090504 | 20:22 |
| Sysi | and http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 20:23 |
| saad_ | Could it be my video driver? | 20:23 |
| Sysi | i think it's jut the ram | 20:23 |
| Sysi | you should get more of it with that cpu | 20:23 |
| saad_ | oh | 20:25 |
| saad_ | This is just a computer I had in the garage. Just need to be able to run messenger and browse the web | 20:25 |
| Sysi | but about those instructions, you'd get lighter system with that but it's not very sensible to remove everything and then install almost all of it back | 20:25 |
| _Techie_ | what about damn small linux, or puppy dog | 20:26 |
| mtrg | saad_: need something ubber minimalist? Gentoo Linux | 20:26 |
| Sysi | browsing web is quite heavy these days, all flash and javascript | 20:26 |
| Sysi | gentoo is not light if you make it fat | 20:26 |
| mtrg | yeah, but it gives the choice | 20:27 |
| * mtrg is on gentoo now, with Albatros theme, just like Xubntu but faster ;) | 20:27 | |
| Sysi | did you check that distrowatch url? | 20:27 |
| mtrg | no | 20:28 |
| saad_ | yes | 20:28 |
| Sysi | my fedora was also very fast with optimised kernel, but lucid is very fast too | 20:28 |
| saad_ | This computer originally ran windows XP and that ran fine | 20:28 |
| Sysi | you *could* make minimal *buntu installation also | 20:29 |
| Sysi | saad_: you could try lxde-desktop | 20:29 |
| saad_ | Sysi, is there anything I can do in xubuntu right now to make it quicker or would i have to get another distro? | 20:30 |
| residentgrey | are there some things to make the installation run even leaner? | 20:30 |
| residentgrey | it's lean enough but sill | 20:30 |
| residentgrey | i mean from default install besides the removing kde | 20:30 |
| _Techie_ | remove KDE and Xfce4 and install Lxde | 20:31 |
| Sysi | check what unuseful you have in settings -> sessions&startup | 20:31 |
| Sysi | lxde is when you want extreme fast, but then we talk about lubuntu actually | 20:31 |
| mtrg | Sysi: didn't know that xubuntu is so nasty on reasources | 20:32 |
| residentgrey | lubuntu? | 20:32 |
| saad_ | I can remove KDO and xfce4 within xubuntu and have it install lxde? | 20:32 |
| saad_ | KDE* | 20:32 |
| Sysi | !lubuntu | 20:32 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu | 20:32 |
| _Techie_ | http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7520/1.html | 20:33 |
| Sysi | but, i'd need to go to bed, schoolday tomorrow | 20:33 |
| residentgrey | screenshots look the closest to windows yet lol | 20:37 |
| mtrg | compressing 900MB with bzip, wondering how small could it get. it's all text | 20:47 |
| mtrg | that's sad. only one core is being used :( | 20:49 |
| mtrg | oh beautiful.. compressed file is just larger | 20:56 |
