| hezy | so you started xchat by right clicking the black desktop etc. ? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| systrik | no, i'm now in another operating system | 00:01 |
| hezy | ha, so you couldn't even login to xubuntu | 00:01 |
| hezy | this is the same computer? can we be sure there's no hardware problem? | 00:02 |
| systrik | I waited but nothing changed, then I did ctrl + alt + f1. I was in the console. I logged in. then removed the current x11. tried to start it again with "startx" but got errno 3 and errno 11 | 00:03 |
| hezy | mmm | 00:03 |
| hezy | did you install from liveCD or alternative install CD? | 00:04 |
| systrik | puh, it's a CD which you can use it as livecd and as installation. did download it 2 days ago from xubuntu.org | 00:05 |
| hezy | so it's the liveCD. and the desktop worked well from the live session? | 00:05 |
| systrik | I didn't try the live session, just installed it | 00:06 |
| hezy | It is a good idea to try it first, this way you can see if there is a conflict with your hardware before you install | 00:07 |
| hezy | I think you should try the liveCD again. if it works, than you can reinstall from within the live session | 00:08 |
| charlie-tca | hmmm, it worked, then you removed X11, now it is broken? | 00:08 |
| hezy | if not, there is probably a problem with the CD itself | 00:08 |
| systrik | ok thanks, I'll try it again. But I forgot something to mention. The first time when I tried to install, I couldn't see the screen again. Only the mouse. Had to reboot the computer, than I was able to see the installation process | 00:08 |
| hezy | did you check the CD? you should | 00:09 |
| systrik | charlie-tca, I did ctrl + alt+f1 to get to the console and tried to start xfce again. But the console said, the I have to remove the current x11 first, I did "sudo rm /tmp/.X0-lock/" and than "startx" | 00:09 |
| systrik | but nothing changed | 00:09 |
| systrik | hezy, no I didn't, maybe the CD has a problem. | 00:09 |
| hezy | what os do you use now? | 00:10 |
| systrik | slackware | 00:10 |
| hezy | this is how to check in ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 00:11 |
| systrik | many thanks for your help hezy | 00:12 |
| hezy | but it should be the same in slackware | 00:12 |
| hezy | you are welcome. if you need more help, I'll be back in 15 minutes. | 00:13 |
| systrik | ok thx | 00:13 |
| hezy | systrik: how is it going? | 00:40 |
| SCC-Faust | hey I need help | 00:41 |
| SCC-Faust | Getting internet | 00:41 |
| SCC-Faust | on my xubuntu | 00:41 |
| SCC-Faust | THanks | 00:41 |
| hezy | SCC-Faust: what's the problem? | 00:41 |
| SCC-Faust | It won't identify my wireless card... or something. | 00:45 |
| SCC-Faust | I have a compaq presario laptop. | 00:45 |
| hezy | what model is it exactly? | 00:46 |
| SCC-Faust | Let me check | 00:47 |
| SCC-Faust | Presario C700 | 00:48 |
| SCC-Faust | cool | 00:48 |
| SCC-Faust | i found a chip underneath my laptop | 00:48 |
| hezy | chip? | 00:49 |
| SCC-Faust | food | 00:50 |
| SCC-Faust | it didn't taste good though | 00:50 |
| hezy | hhh | 00:50 |
| hezy | I found this in the ubuntu forums: | 00:51 |
| hezy | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4039646#post4039646 | 00:51 |
| hezy | it is somewhat old post | 00:51 |
| hezy | but seems to be a similar model | 00:52 |
| SCC-Faust | I'm hopeless. | 00:56 |
| SCC-Faust | I can't even get the very first command to work | 00:56 |
| SCC-Faust | rofl | 00:56 |
| hezy | yes, the link I sent does give a solution | 00:57 |
| SCC-Faust | It does. | 00:57 |
| SCC-Faust | but when i | 00:58 |
| SCC-Faust | sudo apt-get install uswsusp | 00:58 |
| SCC-Faust | It says | 00:58 |
| SCC-Faust | "Package uswsusp is not available, but is referred to by another package." | 00:58 |
| Dracari | its likely a broadcom based card | 00:58 |
| SCC-Faust | etc etc means package is missing, has been obsolete, or only available from another source etc etc | 00:58 |
| SCC-Faust | It is I think | 00:59 |
| Dracari | hezy open a terminal and run "lspci" | 00:59 |
| hezy | SCC-Faust: never mind, uswsusp has nothing to do with wireless | 01:00 |
| SCC-Faust | Oh. | 01:00 |
| SCC-Faust | Sorry, this is my first linux system, so I'm kind of dumb. | 01:00 |
| SCC-Faust | Unfortunate I'm already stuck on an issue like this :9 | 01:00 |
| Dracari | do you see anything like broadcom 4301 ? | 01:01 |
| SCC-Faust | yes | 01:01 |
| Dracari | then here. | 01:01 |
| Dracari | !broadcom | 01:01 |

| SCC-Faust | Thanks yo. | 01:01 |
| Dracari | thats a good guide to getting it to work | 01:01 |
| Dracari | i had the same prob w/ both my dell and compaq just last week ^^;; | 01:02 |
| hezy | yes this is a good guide | 01:02 |
| Dracari | scroll down to where it says Internet access | 01:03 |
| Dracari | as well your compaq have a card reader? | 01:04 |
| SCC-Faust | I don't believe so. o-o | 01:04 |
| Dracari | ok as the Texas Instruments TI16xx readers dont work in 8.04 + *ubuntu | 01:06 |

| levar | hello | 05:15 |
| levar | everytime i login i have to login under terminal and type in startxfce4. Why is that | 05:20 |
| levar | HELLO | 05:52 |
| Balsaq | i will say this. i'll bet if you were runnimg a clean xubuntu install and not a dual boot and not a virtual OS...i bet you would not have this problem. | 05:53 |
| n2diy | Can Thunar read files on remote machines | 05:57 |
| Balsaq | For security reasons Thunar only executes files of type application/x-desktop, application/x-executable and application/x-shellscript | 05:59 |
| levar | i have problems | 06:00 |
| Balsaq | levar are you rubbung a clean xubuntu install? | 06:00 |
| levar | rubbung? what is that | 06:01 |
| Balsaq | sorry...using/running | 06:01 |
| levar | yes i am | 06:01 |
| Balsaq | woth no dual boot and no virtual OS? | 06:01 |
| levar | nope | 06:01 |
| levar | just xubuntu | 06:01 |
| Balsaq | what version | 06:01 |
| levar | 9.10 | 06:02 |
| Balsaq | becasue when i boot xubuntu...i dont have to do anyhting like you said.....levar> also everytime i login i have to login under terminal and type in startxfce4. Why is that | 06:02 |
| levar | i dont know why well where do i edit my login settings. maybe thats it | 06:03 |
| Balsaq | loer left hand of screen as you are booting i think | 06:03 |
| Balsaq | lower* | 06:03 |
| levar | and how do i get administrative privledges | 06:03 |
| Balsaq | youm should already have them if it s your install | 06:04 |
| Balsaq | you* | 06:04 |
| levar | its is saying i dont have that | 06:04 |
| Balsaq | By default, the root account password is locked in xubuntu...if that is what you are after? | 06:10 |
| Balsaq | i would say change your password levar | 06:12 |
| Sysi | levar: what it does when you try to log in normally? | 06:12 |
| Sysi | and did you make just normal installation? | 06:13 |
| levar | it should just log me in automatically . it is a normal installation | 06:15 |
| Balsaq | when i enter xubuntu i have to pust in my user name and then my password | 06:16 |
| Balsaq | put* | 06:16 |
| levar | when i d id install i chose log in automatically | 06:17 |
| Balsaq | hmmm....never did it that way? maybe that is why he doesn't have admin priveledges? | 06:19 |
| Sysi | sounds like someting pretty badly wrong | 06:21 |
| Sysi | or dunno | 06:21 |
| levar | One Big Mess. How would i get to the login screen and login under xsessions instead of xterm | 06:32 |
| Sysi | so you end up to xterm in normal login? | 06:35 |
| levar | I think it is | 06:35 |
| Sysi | can you get to xfce? | 06:35 |
| levar | how do i get there | 06:36 |
| levar | im a newbie | 06:36 |
| Sysi | exec xfce4-session | 06:36 |
| Sysi | should work IIRC | 06:36 |
| levar | is that for the graphical interface | 06:37 |
| Sysi | yes | 06:37 |
| levar | im on the graphical interface | 06:37 |
| Sysi | oh right | 06:37 |
| Sysi | that's xfce :) | 06:38 |
| Sysi | or should be.. | 06:38 |
| levar | i just want to login like a normal user | 06:38 |
| Sysi | settings → login window | 06:38 |
| levar | when i do that it says.......( i will tell u) | 06:38 |
| Sysi | no settings, System in main menu | 06:39 |
| Sysi | or: gksudo gdmsetup | 06:39 |
| Sysi | and select autologin off | 06:39 |
| levar | "faild to run /usr/sbin/gdmsetup as user root.(below that) unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file | 06:40 |
| levar | when i type in that code as well i get the same error message | 06:40 |
| levar | i get an error message when i first login about it is going to start in low graphics mode | 06:41 |
| Sysi | what graphics card do you have? | 06:41 |
| levar | i dont know | 06:41 |
| Sysi | lspci | grep VGA | 06:41 |
| levar | its a laptop | 06:42 |
| Sysi | levar: did you use wubi for instllation? | 06:44 |
| levar | what is wubi | 06:45 |
| Sysi | windows ubuntu installer | 06:46 |
| levar | i used a live cd | 06:46 |
| Balsaq | ? | 06:49 |
| Balsaq | tough cookie... | 06:49 |
| Sysi | i maybe would do something un-linux like reinstall or/and trying other version | 06:50 |
| Balsaq | i just dont see how it could happen | 06:57 |
| Balsaq | yeah the linux tex seem to think reinstalling is surrender | 06:58 |
| levar | i have an ATI video card | 07:03 |
| neur1 | installed the beta2 shutdown not working tried the rmmod snd-hda-intel fix, but still no good. any new fixes? workarounds? | 08:02 |

| levar | i need the terminal code to edit user privlidges | 08:43 |
| knome | what privileges? | 08:43 |
| Balsaq | sudo passwd your_user_name | 08:44 |
| TheSheep | Balsaq: errr... no | 08:44 |

| Balsaq | he has been trying for hours to become root as best as ican tell which is not going to happen. | 08:45 |
| knome | :] | 08:45 |
| levar | i found out my problem | 08:45 |
| levar | some how i lost privileges. i checked out my account and under privileges everything is greyed out | 08:46 |
| levar | so if i can get the terminal code to edit my privileges in root using "su" i will be good I THINK | 08:46 |
| TheSheep | levar: you need to click on the button with the icon of a key | 08:47 |
| TheSheep | levar: in 'users and groups' | 08:47 |
| levar | its greyed out | 08:48 |
| TheSheep | the icon next to 'click to make changes' | 08:49 |
| levar | yup | 08:50 |
| levar | who got the answer | 08:53 |

| Aquina | A friend of mine told me it's possible on some Windows systems (did not tell me which one I guess XP) to lock/disable some USB ports or block data transfer to them. I know it's possible to unload the linuxs' kernels usb module regarding GNU/Linux. This however kills all USB related data transfers. Is it possible to partially disable/control it like when using Windows? Is Windows probably using some crazy userspace crap that only makes ppl. think USB | 19:55 |
| Aquina | is unavailable/disabled? | 19:55 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | Aquina, as far as I know you can enable/disable USB ports in your computers BIOS | 19:59 |
| genii | That is also usually global though | 20:10 |
| genii | Aquina: Conceivable you could use the info of "Bus 008 Device 001:" type section returned from the lsusb command to then modify some value in corresponding /sys/bus/usb/devices/ section which would affect that device's performance | 20:28 |

| aoxson | Hello? | 20:56 |
| Aquina | Optimizations, stefanoferrante_? Xubuntu GNU/Linux is *not* Windows. The only thing yu can do is disable or reconfigure stuf, but hrere is a statement made by Ritchie (I guess) who complained about optimizaitions. | 20:56 |
| charlie-tca | !hi | aoxson | 20:56 |
| ubottu | aoxson: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 20:56 |
| Aquina | :-) | 20:56 |
| aoxson | So anyone mind helping me out a bit? :D | 20:57 |
| knome | !ask | aoxson | 20:57 |
| ubottu | aoxson: 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. :-) | 20:57 |
| charlie-tca | Sure, hello is a greeting used in english. | 20:57 |
| aoxson | Well I just installed xubuntu and my battery time seems very low as now it's only 1.5hours at max | 20:58 |
| aoxson | at windows it was 3 hours | 20:58 |
| aoxson | Can this have anything to do with drivers that aren't installed? | 20:58 |
| aoxson | Or could this be cause my graphic card is constant on? | 21:00 |
| aoxson | How can you check if the graphic card is correctly installed? | 21:05 |
| charlie-tca | you have a desktop? | 21:06 |
| charlie-tca | The drivers in linux are normally just installed; unlike windows where you must do each driver individually | 21:06 |
| aoxson | No i'm on a laptop | 21:07 |
| charlie-tca | by desktop, you have a background and icons on it? | 21:08 |
| aoxson | Aah yeh | 21:08 |
| charlie-tca | driver installed | 21:08 |
| aoxson | But why can't i put on a higher resolution then? | 21:08 |
| charlie-tca | sorry, having some other issues | 21:08 |
| charlie-tca | You are using the free driver. go to Applications -> System -> Hardware Drivers | 21:09 |
| charlie-tca | It should have one to install for your specific video card | 21:09 |
| charlie-tca | or, it doesn't recognize the card, normally quite old or ATI mobility 200 | 21:10 |
| aoxson | Ati mobility radeon HD 5470 | 21:10 |
| aoxson | and it doesn't seem to find anything as it stays blank | 21:10 |
| charlie-tca | hmmm | 21:11 |
| charlie-tca | !ati | 21:11 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 21:11 |
| aoxson | It only find the ATI controller | 21:13 |
| aoxson | I don't seem to have sound either | 21:21 |
| aoxson | o0 | 21:21 |
| charlie-tca | What version is this? | 21:21 |
| aoxson | of xubuntu? | 21:22 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 21:22 |
| aoxson | 9.10 | 21:22 |
| charlie-tca | The good news is sound works better in 10.04, that is being released next week | 21:23 |
| charlie-tca | The bad news is we have to wait for someone else to help with the ati video | 21:23 |
| aoxson | hmm okey | 21:23 |
| aoxson | Well don't mind the video just need sound =D any known way to fix it? | 21:24 |
| charlie-tca | have you turned it on? left-click the speaker, left click controls, put some check marks in | 21:25 |
| charlie-tca | Then you got to right click the speaker, left click properties, make sure the alsa thing is selected, close it. now the sound should work | 21:26 |
| aoxson | alsa thing? | 21:28 |
| charlie-tca | Where it says 'Sound card: ' you select alsa | 21:29 |
| charlie-tca | it probably has some other stuff in there, but you want whichever one includes alsa mixer | 21:30 |
| aoxson | okey | 21:30 |
| charlie-tca | now sound should work | 21:30 |
| aoxson | Hmm | 21:31 |
| charlie-tca | probably don't have any system sounds. | 21:31 |
| aoxson | amarok doesn't seem to play music | 21:31 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know amarok | 21:32 |
| aoxson | Vlc seems to work though | 21:32 |
| charlie-tca | amarok probably has more things need to be done for it | 21:32 |
| aoxson | ah okey | 21:33 |
| aoxson | thanks | 21:33 |
| charlie-tca | no problem | 21:33 |
| aoxson | charlie-tca would you advice people to use xubuntu with wireless? | 21:36 |
| charlie-tca | sure | 21:36 |
| aoxson | i'm sitting next to the modem | 21:36 |
| aoxson | and I only have 2 bar | 21:36 |
| aoxson | Hmm | 21:36 |
| charlie-tca | When you move away, do you lose the connection or does it still work? It might be a visual aid error | 21:38 |
| aoxson | well actually it just fell down | 21:40 |
| aoxson | Had to use the cable | 21:40 |
| charlie-tca | ooops | 21:40 |
| aoxson | That's what I thought xD | 21:40 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | hello anyone there? | 21:41 |
| charlie-tca | nope | 21:41 |
| aoxson | Hey | 21:41 |
| * charlie-tca is a figment of your imagination | 21:41 | |
| charlie-tca | Hello, Sachse_Siechtum | 21:41 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | OMG | 21:41 |
| charlie-tca | huh | 21:42 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | uhm I just watched a installation howto on youtube... | 21:42 |
| charlie-tca | and...? | 21:42 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | and I saw there, that you can assign different partitions for / and /home.. | 21:42 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 21:42 |
| charlie-tca | I do it all the time | 21:42 |
| charlie-tca | makes a reinstall easier | 21:42 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | so when I install it that way...I gonna have a partition for OS and one for my own files? | 21:42 |
| charlie-tca | I can reinstall without messing with /home | 21:43 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 21:43 |
| aoxson | cool | 21:43 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | sweet so when lucid comes out gonna format my whole hdd (leave XP behind) and do it that way | 21:43 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | +I | 21:44 |
| charlie-tca | I am doing 16 installs between yesterday and today, on the same two systems. By having a separate /home, I don't lose any data | 21:44 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | I see | 21:44 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | and then when I use simple backup I just can backup the /home folder.. | 21:44 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | or the os partition for that matter | 21:45 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 21:45 |
| charlie-tca | should be able to backup /home now, can't you? | 21:45 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | so what is a good size for the / partition? | 21:45 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | 10 Gbytes? | 21:45 |
| charlie-tca | depends on what you have | 21:45 |
| charlie-tca | I have one system on a 40GB hdd, so I give / 10GB, and /home 28GB, with /swap 2GB | 21:46 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | yeah I will backup home on a USB stick before I swipe my system.. | 21:54 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | I got a 3 gbyte swap | 21:54 |
| charlie-tca | On my big drives, I still give / between 15-20 GB, and grow /home to 80GB, so I can use ubuntuone | 21:55 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | :-) | 21:56 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | oh and I just trashed PiTiVi for Kdenlive :-) | 21:57 |
| charlie-tca | I think I am losing money on ubuntuone, I pay the monthly fee, but can only get it to work with one system | 21:57 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | thats strange | 21:57 |
| charlie-tca | Sachse_Siechtum: nice... ;-) | 21:57 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | ubuntuone is this backup service right? | 21:58 |
| charlie-tca | Strange I can get it to work? | 21:58 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | no strange it only works on one system | 21:58 |
| charlie-tca | UbuntuOne is supposed to be good for backups, yes | 21:58 |
| charlie-tca | yup, I don't know how good it is if it doesn't really work | 21:59 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | and today I finally installed compiz :-) I kinda missed it hehe | 21:59 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | yeah | 21:59 |
| charlie-tca | OTOH, it is working on Xubuntu | 21:59 |
| magic_ninja420 | so lol | 21:59 |
| charlie-tca | I can't even find docs that tell how to make it work with Thunar | 22:00 |
| charlie-tca | It is kind of a test deal, I guess | 22:00 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | what do you mean? | 22:01 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | OTOH? whats that? | 22:01 |
| charlie-tca | On The Other Hand | 22:01 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | I dont use thunar I use nautilus | 22:02 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | it gives me a nerd-******* ;-) | 22:02 |
| charlie-tca | That what they say works with UbuntuOne! But... it doesn't come with Xubuntu, and that is what I am testing | 22:03 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | ah ok | 22:03 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | I see | 22:03 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | alright away playing max payne 2 (on wine) :-) | 22:08 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | what is the terminal command for the "add remove applications" tab? | 22:55 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | because it doesnt show when I click on it | 22:58 |
| charlie-tca | you should look in '/usr/share/applications/add-remove applciations' and see what the exec is | 23:04 |
| charlie-tca | I don't have 9.10 available today | 23:04 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | ok | 23:07 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | damn nautilus overwrites my wallpaper | 23:08 |
| charlie-tca | heh | 23:09 |
| charlie-tca | Most of the gnome apps are written to take over now. | 23:09 |
| kurzbrey | hello | 23:30 |
