| kman | Ubuntu update issue. I had ubunto 8.? installed and running. Upgraded to 8.10(?) OK and then decided to upgrade to 9.04. It hung and now when I start up I can login but then just get a blank screen. Any suggestions? | 03:03 |
|---|---|---|
| kman | OK another question. Control panels. I have played around with C-Panel and was wanting something like that for Ubuntu. I could see reference to a Control Panel for Ubunto v 9.04 and that's why I had been upgrading. I was surprised that KLOXO was not supported. It looks really good and very much like C-Panel. It says it is only supported on Centos. | 03:12 |
| kman | Is there a more active IRC for Ubuntu out there? | 03:13 |
| pedro3005 | #ubuntu | 03:13 |

| Saudrapsmann | Hi, I have a question. I have my notification area in my top panel, but the notifications end up an inch below the panel like in this picture: http://i41.tinypic.com/ngcbon.png | 08:07 |
| Saudrapsmann | I can't seem to find any way to change the location of where they go vertically | 08:07 |
| Saudrapsmann | Can anyone help me? | 08:07 |
| ZeRoDeAtH50435 | mine does that too | 08:10 |
| Akos | hi team | 08:15 |
| Akos | Saudrapsmann: as far as i know, that can't be changed at the moment, not without massive hacks that is | 08:15 |
| jfoozie420 | haylo | 09:59 |
| jfoozie420 | im in for a q!! | 09:59 |
| Akos | hi jfoozie420, please, go ahead (: | 10:00 |
| jfoozie420 | Akos: anyways how is it that im downloading things with ubuntu and its alot slower that when i download anything else from microsoft's os?? | 10:00 |
| jfoozie420 | is it because im using the synaptic servers?? does that have to do with it?? | 10:01 |
| Akos | jfoozie420: i have no clue, you are downloading the same things? | 10:01 |
| jfoozie420 | yeah, like when im download i long ass .ppt presentation it downloads it at 45 kb/s with ubuntu | 10:02 |
| jfoozie420 | and 1.6 mb/s with microsoft | 10:02 |
| jfoozie420 | (without a d-manager) | 10:02 |
| Akos | well, i didn't notice anything like that, if you have a router, make sure everything is setup correctly | 10:03 |
| Akos | the synaptic downloads depend on the server you are downloading from | 10:03 |
| jfoozie420 | can you configure automatic server lists that you download from instead of using one from default?? cause i dont want to keep scrolling though find one everytime | 10:04 |
| jfoozie420 | scrolling and finding the servers everytime"" | 10:05 |
| jfoozie420 | is there a download manager that's stable and compatible with ubuntu?? cause i haven't seen anything that's up to par with internet download manager (cause its only available for microsoft) | 10:06 |
| jfoozie420 | cause i hate just straight downloading with microsoft when you have a good chance of getting a virus lol.... | 10:13 |
| jfoozie420 | no one up for bat? | 10:14 |

| phillw | shahan: did you encrypt your home directory at install time ? | 13:22 |
| shahan | phillw: encrypt???? I dont know about it | 13:22 |
| shahan | phillw: I am a new user | 13:23 |
| shahan | phillw: I want a solution from it | 13:23 |
| phillw | shahan: you were asked when you installed "Do you want to encrypt your home directory" Di you say 'yes' or 'no' ? | 13:23 |
| phillw | *Directory* | 13:23 |
| shahan | phillw: I didnt asked such kind of question | 13:24 |
| shahan | phillw: I didnt being asked this | 13:24 |
| shahan | any one know about this problem? | 13:25 |
| shahan | the solution of this problem | 13:25 |
| shahan | phillw: do u know the solution | 13:26 |
| shahan | phillw: ? | 13:26 |
| phillw | if you have, as i suspect, encrypted your home directory, then head over to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1134121 | 13:26 |
| shahan | phillw: thanks | 13:26 |
| phillw | it will take you it step my step. It is not ucommon for people to choose encryption, then realise it was a bad idea !! | 13:27 |

| LzrdKing | my new server works so good now, using just openbox without gnome and nfs instead of samba i can now stream HD wirelessly in Boxee! | 15:31 |
| swoody | LzrdKing: that's very good to hear :) | 15:32 |
| LzrdKing | yeah, but when i reboot i have to play with the sound to get it to come back through the speakers plugged into the headphone jack instead of the internal speaker | 15:33 |
| LzrdKing | the only other thing i want to do is have it log into xdm automatically; i was able to use login -f to get it to log in on tty1, but X runs on tty7 | 15:34 |

| Phrea | say, is running a wubi install SO different that the ATI drivers+management stuff are limited? I couldnt find the dualscreen option [B2] and I'm planning to switch this box fully over to lucid | 16:51 |
| phillw | Phrea: wubi is quite different from dual booting, with wubi the ubuntu 'lives' inside windows, albeit on a 'virtual' area, with dual booting they bot have their own, seperate areas, only sharing grub for booting. | 16:54 |
| phillw | bot=both | 16:54 |
| Phrea | I understand :) | 16:54 |
| Phrea | but does a wubi install limit stuff like drivers and monitor settings? | 16:54 |
| phillw | dual booting is a good way to start, not all of the things available to a full ubuntu are available to wubi from reading peoples experiences | 16:55 |
| Phrea | this will be the last box I'm converting | 16:56 |
| Phrea | :) | 16:56 |
| Phrea | I just did the wubi install because I was curious as to how it worked :) | 16:56 |
| LzrdKing | Phrea: wubi does not limit wnaything except hibernation | 16:56 |
| Phrea | and then I noticed the limited ati options | 16:56 |
| phillw | the two systems live very happily side by side, and you will have fewer headaches | 16:56 |
| Phrea | oh... | 16:56 |
| LzrdKing | anything* | 16:56 |
| Phrea | hmz... | 16:56 |
| Phrea | phillw: ubu doesnt give me headaches :) | 16:56 |
| LzrdKing | phillw: anything in ubuntu is available in wubi | 16:57 |
| phillw | nor i, i have vista | 16:57 |
| Phrea | and I hate dualbooting, dont see the point [I dont work, or work with office stuff or so] | 16:57 |
| LzrdKing | Phrea: install ubuntu and run windows in a vm | 16:57 |
| Phrea | LzrdKing: nah :D | 16:57 |
| Phrea | I dont do that on my other boxes neither | 16:57 |
| phillw | i use photoshop, gimp is okay, but it is not photoshop :-( | 16:57 |
| Phrea | it would be fun to play around with, maybe :) | 16:57 |
| Phrea | I'll see what I'll do | 16:58 |
| Phrea | it's just that the ATI settings thingy was scaringly limited | 16:58 |
| phillw | ati is not terribly well supported, this is down to ati. | 16:59 |
| Phrea | it was nothing like the 'ati drivers are coming of age' thread :\ | 16:59 |
| phillw | 10.04 is making massive strides with all the drivers | 16:59 |
| Phrea | I hope it'll work, I need my two mons on this box | 17:00 |
| man0riaX | Hey | 17:00 |
| Phrea | 'lo | 17:00 |
| phillw | have a look on the lucid forum about how well it gets on with dual screen, if that's what you're looking to put on. | 17:00 |
| phillw | man0riaX: hi | 17:01 |

| phillw | krish-1: what video card are you using ? | 17:09 |
| krish-1 | intel | 17:09 |
| krish-1 | 256 mb sharing graphics card | 17:10 |
| phillw | krish-1: ubuntu-geeks how-to's are well written, for compiz head over to www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-compiz-fusion-in-ubuntu-9-10karmic.html | 17:11 |
| krish-1 | ok | 17:11 |

| Phrea | you can't login to that computer at all? | 17:12 |
| Phrea | it just freezes on you? | 17:12 |
| krish-1 | yeah i login | 17:12 |
| krish-1 | thn nothing is come | 17:12 |
| hobgoblin | Phrea: have you tried since the beta2 was released? might be different now - I know there were some jockey updates since then | 17:12 |
| Phrea | hobgoblin: I havent yet | 17:13 |
| Phrea | it's too much of a hassle | 17:13 |
| Phrea | I have a spare HDD, I'll put that in this pc and install lucid on it, see if everything works correctly | 17:13 |
| Phrea | krish-1: be a little bit patient, somebody will come up with an answer for you :) | 17:14 |
| krish-1 | ok | 17:14 |
| krish-1 | thnks | 17:14 |
| Phrea | it takes a while sometimes, dont worry about that | 17:14 |
| * Phrea stays away from compiz | 17:15 | |
| krish-1 | ok m nt use it | 17:15 |
| Phrea | at least all the 3D stuff | 17:15 |
| krish-1 | but if nothing is come then how shd i uninstall this | 17:16 |
| Phrea | it can also mess with Flash on a 64bit machine, dont ask me why or how, I have NO idea | 17:16 |
| krish-1 | ok | 17:16 |
| Phrea | you can always reinstall Karmic | 17:16 |
| Phrea | it'll just take over your current settings, but then with a workable os iso a dead one | 17:16 |
| krish-1 | if i reinstall it can i loose my present data | 17:17 |
| Phrea | programs yes, personal data, normally no | 17:17 |
| Phrea | BUT, having said that, my /home/ lives on it's own partition | 17:17 |
| krish-1 | ok | 17:17 |
| krish-1 | tell me d process how i reinstall it | 17:18 |
| Phrea | do not reinstall untill you get some clear answers from people who know what they are talking about | 17:18 |
| Phrea | not that it's hard, but I'll gladly leave this to the experts, because you have personal data on that computer | 17:19 |
| hobgoblin | krish-1: I would boot the recovery option - remove xorg.conf - resume boot then you should be back with a normal screen - then reinstall the grpahics driver | 17:19 |
| Phrea | there you go :) | 17:19 |
| hobgoblin | leave reinstall for dire emergencies :) | 17:19 |
| Phrea | ^ ! | 17:20 |
| hobgoblin | krish-1: what version buntu is it? | 17:20 |
| krish-1 | ubuntu 9.10 | 17:20 |
| hobgoblin | you might even be ok removing the compiz configs - not sure | 17:20 |
| krish-1 | ok | 17:22 |
| hobgoblin | try this then = reboot and from the grub menu choose the 2nd option - it will be called recovery | 17:22 |
| hobgoblin | when you get to the little menu choose root terminal and then run this command - write it down | 17:22 |
| Phrea | write it down isnt a command, you silly goose | 17:23 |
| hobgoblin | cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.1904 | 17:23 |
| hobgoblin | then | 17:23 |
| hobgoblin | rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:23 |
| hobgoblin | then exit and resume from the menu | 17:23 |
| hobgoblin | krish-1: what graphics card? | 17:24 |
| hobgoblin | and make sure you do X11 and not x11, linux is case sensitive | 17:24 |
| hobgoblin | though actually try this first = reboot and then when it hangs - do Ctrl+Alt+F1 | 17:25 |
| hobgoblin | forget that ... | 17:26 |
| Phrea | make up your mind already ;) | 17:26 |
| krish-1 | wait | 17:26 |
| krish-1 | i follow d process | 17:26 |
| hobgoblin | do it all except the reboot and ctrl+alt+F1 | 17:27 |
| hobgoblin | Phrea: it's been a long day and I am trying to cook dinner as well lol | 17:27 |
| Phrea | what will you be having? | 17:28 |
| hobgoblin | salad seems easy ... | 17:28 |
| Phrea | easy, lemme guess, you live alone | 17:28 |
| Phrea | oh, it's you... :D | 17:29 |
| Phrea | sheesh, why not use proper name ! | 17:29 |
| krish-1 | (09:53:23 IST) hobgoblin: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.1904 when i run this command tat time showing no such a directory | 17:30 |
