[00:12] ubuntu 10.04 install disc takes me straight to what appears to be a live session, prompting me to login. I don't have an account, I want to install ubuntu 10.04 [00:14] brandonban6: do you not see the screen saying 'try ubuntu, install ubuntu, test disk' etc ? [00:15] phillw, no.. I get a blank purple screen, and then the new ubuntu logo, and then the new login screen. Reboot same thing, re-downloaded and re-burned, same thing. Using desktop 32 bit. [00:16] I'm running 9.10 on it right now just fine. I wanted to do a clean install but sort of scratching my head on this one. [00:19] brandonban6: my bet is either your iso, or the cd is corrupt. I know I get told off for this, but to save me retyping everything in, if you pop over to http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=36 that has a quick how-to on checking the iso and the cd, along with other tips [00:21] if you have a cd-drive lens cleaning kit (or one for a dvd player) now is a good time to use it. [03:03] hey i have a question smart people.... [03:05] asking the question right away is faster than waiting for a response then asking the question =) [03:06] * phillw and less of the "smart people" :P [03:06] * phillw speaks only for self [03:08] hey stlsaint [03:08] stlsaint, what can I do for you? [03:08] stlsaint, not saying I am smart, rather I would like to try and help :) [03:08] BRB, but leave it [03:09] soooo...if i have my seperate partitions setup for /,/boot,/data, and i do upgrade via terminal...will it still not touch my other /data partition [03:14] stlsaint, aye [03:15] stlsaint, it only does stuff via dpkg [03:15] stlsaint, it _should_ leave the fstab alone as well [03:21] paultag: if i lose data i expect full system recovery support out of you!!!! [03:27] stlsaint: have you not heard of backups :P >> runs [03:29] phillw: yea yea...i have crons that run backups!! :P [03:30] stlsaint: you can get cream for that [03:30] O_o [03:36] Hi! I need help with the unwanted processes listed in the system monitor tool. How do I prevent these processes not to start when I reboot? [03:37] anyone here at all??? [03:38] no, we're all busy waiting for some one with a bit of patience ;-) [03:42] unwanted processes like what? [03:42] ddecator: hes gone [03:43] stlsaint: thanks for pointing that out, i have quits hidden =p [03:46] need help with mouse themes in lucid [03:46] * phillw it may just be me, but when someone asks a question and you're writing a reply that is more than two words, does it ever nark yo uwhen they exit before you answer? [03:46] installed KDE desktop then removed it.. and now cant get the KDE theme off [03:47] terrellsm: i have an app for that :-) [03:48] Hi Phill..I tried the xcursor but it doesnt seem to work at all with lucid [03:48] terrellsm: at the bottom of the page (pure Gnome) http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde [03:48] they're good at psychocats :-) [03:48] i just flinched when i read "an app for that" [03:49] thanks!!.. checking it out [03:49] ddecator: i so 'love' apple (not) [03:51] i was just answering a question in #lubuntu and still had the page loaded [03:52] now i do love it when that happens [03:53] quick question phill... this code includes the && apt-get ubuntu-desktop... all i need is the mouse theme changed... is this going to kill all of my other theme mods? [03:53] too true, it doesn't often happen that way, usually it's "I saw that the other day -- where was it?" [03:54] changing the mouse theme is easy [03:54] terrellsm: I've never used it, all I know is that the stuff from there is pretty darn good. (as in excellent), if you are in doubt post to the ubuntu thread [03:55] terrellsm: are you on gnome? [03:56] ahh ill give it a shot.. I got most of the KDE out removing the packages individually, but this seems to be a complete list [03:57] i am on gnome... i use KDE for some things at work on mandriva, so i wanted to check it out for lucid... but i like gnome WAAAAY better [03:57] terrellsm: i like lxde, but that's the beauty of *buntu, we all get our own flavour :-) [03:59] terrellsm: you can change the mouse theme in System > Preferences > Appearance, just choose your theme and select Customize, then change the mouse theme. due to a bug, you may not see it change until logging back in, or possibly after a restart [04:00] ddecator.... you rock [04:01] i never went all the way into customizing the theme [04:02] terrellsm: no problem =) you might still have some kde packages lingering around, but they shouldn't interfere with anything. you can always do something like what phillw suggested to make sure they're all removed [04:03] i did run the command and got the few remaining packages... having to reinstall skype and vlc.. but no biggie [04:04] phillw tell me about lxde? [04:04] !lxde [04:04] Factoid lxde not found [04:05] terrellsm: what do you want to know about it? [04:06] i am looking for screenshots... not finding much [04:06] terrellsm: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [04:06] whats the bennys of lxde over gnome [04:06] ? [04:06] thanks phillw [04:06] terrellsm: lxde is WAY lighter than gnome [04:07] even lighter than xubuntu, isn't it? [04:07] really good for low resource systems [04:08] super cool....thanks! [04:08] * phillw now don't ban me for this, but a bit more about lubuntu can be found here http://forum.phillw.net/viewforum.php?f=18 (It's my baby forum) [04:10] the hypertext from xchat isnt opening the page in a browser... is there an option that i need to enable? [04:11] * phillw uses pidgin, sorry [04:11] * ddecator uses irssi [04:11] c+p? [04:14] alright.. you guys rock pretty hard, and i dont know if this is the right place for this question but i have having issues with synce [04:15] never even heard of it tbh [04:17] when i run the msynctool --sync -synce-sync... i get "DEBUG:SynCE:disconnect() called [04:17] Member 1 of type synce-opensync-plugin just disconnected [04:17] Member 2 of type evo2-sync just disconnected [04:17] All clients have disconnected [04:17] The sync failed: Unable to read from one of the members [04:17] DEBUG:SynCE:finalize() called [04:17] Error while synchronizing: Unable to read from one of the members [04:17] " [04:19] terrellsm: http://www.synce.org/moin/FrontPage [04:20] i have pretty much combed the site and the wiki and the forums.. just wondering if any of you had any insight [04:21] not any of us on right now. you can try #ubuntu, but idk how likely you are to get a response in there =p [04:21] terrellsm: never use dit [04:21] otherwise you can try again in here some other time. we all have different schedules [04:22] terrellsm: they have a support mailing list, you might try that [04:23] thanks guys.. i will!!.. last question for the moment... is there anyway at all to change the login screen to not display the username in lucid? [04:23] from what all i have read it seems unlikely [04:23] but still requiring a password? [04:24] ddecator: yes [04:25] ubuntu tweak just updated with new login tweaks for lucid, one says "Disable user list in gdm" but idk if that'll do what you're looking for [04:26] oh sweet... i just herd about ubuntu tweak yesterday.. [04:27] it's one of those unofficial must haves [04:27] sorta like ultamatix [04:27] but thats ol' school though :D [04:29] awesome! thanks!.. what is the realistic need to run an anti virus? i know they are there but just wondering? [04:29] on ubuntu, to protect windows users you email ;) [04:30] ddecator: lol.. so you know the package name for tweak? [04:30] http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ [04:30] it's not in the official repos [04:31] got it [04:33] you guys know of any good books for a newbie? i read the pocket guide and i just got Ubuntu Secrets [04:34] the ubuntu manual =D [04:35] http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [04:35] free to download, new to lucid [04:35] cool.. thanks for the help guys.. good night [04:35] np. g'night [04:41] ddecator: that is one kewl book :-D [04:42] phillw: i know right? [04:43] I'm hoping to get involved with the doc team now 10.04 has settled down [04:43] the manual team is planning something for maverick, i can't remember what exactly. i think it will be a condensed pocket guide type thing, but i may be wrong [04:47] ddecator: i've been on the mailing list for a month or so, I'm waiting for them to decide on the format (writing tool) that is going to be used. There seems little point me learning one, if they decide to use a different one. With the rush to get the docs out for 10.04, a decision had not been taken. [04:48] you could always help out by providing screenshots and such. they made that program that makes it semi-automatic =) [04:50] I know, but i've also been busy (hindering) the release of lubuntu. Hopefully things will quieten down for a couple of weeks once the mad rush to finish the 10.04 documentation has finished. [04:51] * Documentation team to push post-release fixes to the lucid branch, [04:51] freezing on 17 May [04:51] * Translation templates will be pushed to Launchpad on 17 May [04:51] * Translators can work to complete new (and existing) translations up [04:51] until 11 June [04:51] * Documentation team plan to upload a new ubuntu-docs package to [04:51] lucid-updates on 12-13 June. [04:52] As I'm a n00b, I'd be more of a hiderance than a help at this time [04:55] everyone has to start somewhere. chime in and ask what easy work they have for newcomers to the group [04:56] I have been (re)learning how to write in english again. [04:57] ...see now i had assumed you were a native english speaker. you're doing very well =) [04:57] if ubuntu was to catch some virus or spyware what would be the symptoms [04:57] just trying to format http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=85 into something resembling a structured format is a task after all the years of sloppy writing [04:57] ?? [04:58] stlsaint: pictures of Bill Gates appearing? [04:58] meh, not quite...what about slow reacting system...sketchy typing...etc etc [04:58] Very slow system.... [04:59] typing is more likely graphics related [04:59] issue top from the terminal and see what is running [04:59] malware may have extra processes running and could slow your internet speeds [04:59] ddecator: malware? that'll be a first. [05:00] phillw: it was included in some gnome-look themes [05:00] ooh, let me guess, you need to use root privalidges to install this [05:01] nothing too out the ordinary [05:01] stlsaint: you may know this person ... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 [05:01] if you're unsure, get clamav [05:02] clamav has exactly zero effect on linux, it is purely there to filter out windows viruses on mail servers. [05:02] it's the only one i know of, haha [05:02] and can be used to scan windows areas [05:03] ^^ read bodhi;s post ^^ [05:04] haha, yea i have read his post (he used to be my mentor for the team.) ;) [05:04] stlsaint: i was referring ddecator to it ;-) [05:04] oh [05:05] oh, look at that.. [05:08] stlsaint: my 1st contact with bodhi was when i messed up a ssh connection to my rig and got tunnelled into and out of === Akos is now known as Guest15745 === phillw is now known as phill_asleep === Guest15745 is now known as Akos [08:04] o.O is this the main channel again?

[08:19] Google App Engine [08:20] oh, I've seen it [08:20] but they only allow US, Canada and Japan, I think [08:21] Naah :) Im there [08:21] LeAstrale, lukjad86 is here??

No plans of upgrading to 10.04 yet? [12:17] I like jumping between distro's [12:18] Maddeth, " actually i am in my 8.10 now" i like to remain in that coz it looked somewhat stable [12:18] along with it i am having 9.10 but with a lot of bugs and upgrades. [12:18] so i mostly use 8.10 =] [12:19] zeroseven0183, i ll be getting another laptop in 3 weeks and thats for 10.04 :) [12:21] That's good.

[12:41] oohhh [12:41] >:) [12:46] Hi! I was needing help with the movie player on Karmic 9.10 [12:47] Hi ravibn, what can I help you with [12:47] it pauses in between while playing any format movies [12:48] if I blow it up to full screen some parts of my lcd screen freezes up [12:48] ravibn: Hi! What movie player? Is it Totem? [12:48] Maddeth, here he comes back =] [12:48] it is totem movie player 2.28.2 version [12:49] ravibn are any of these movie files MKVs? [12:49] it is using gstreamer [12:49] I was trying to play an avi format movie [12:50] Have you tried with other media players like VLC or Banshee? [12:50] yes ! I installed the vlc player and it also does the same thing freezes up the screen [12:50] lots of pauses in betwn [12:51] ravibn Hm, is your computer new or old? [12:51] ravibn, whats your RAM size? [12:51] well ! it is a P 4 with HT techn [12:51] RAM is 1.5 gig [12:52] Hmmm.. Could be a graphics card-related? [12:52] How about playing videos in YouTube? [12:52] Thats what even I am concerned bcos when I installed the OS it never asked for any graphics driver [12:53] my intel board 865 gbf has some onboard extreme graphics chips [12:53] ravibn: what is your graphics card? Did you install a driver for it? You might be stuck with 2d acceleration which is admittedly poor at handling hires video. [12:53] ah, hmmm, intel. [12:54] nope the grp card is on board [12:54] Yup. You can check if you have some driver updates in System > Administration [12:54] then select Hardware Drivers [12:54] the updates I have done it recently [12:56] it does not show up any driver there "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" [12:57] ravibn: aye, hmmm, hardware drivers is mostly for nvidia/ati cards. I think the intel ones are mostly open source. [12:58] but Intel advices to install drivers for my board http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?ProductID=948&DwnldID=9227&lang=Eng&iid=dc_rss [12:58] I do not know if this is going to install and fix the problem [12:59] ravibn: I don't think so, likely just a confifuration problem. I'm not an intel expert though, never had a copm with it. [13:00] intel has discontinued support for this board so whatever they had created and left earlier is all that is left [13:00] Can you run the desktop effects? [13:01] yes! I can rotate my desktop [13:01] maybe a codec issue then [13:01] Hmmm... Just the video/movies [13:01] yeah [13:01] have you got all the necessary codecs installed [13:01] yes! only the videos are the problem [13:02] the sound that comes with that is played correctly [13:03] ravibn: wait so compiz itself works? [13:03] hmm [13:03] codecs were updated some time back last week with apt-get [13:04] might need more codecs [13:04] as apposed to updated [13:04] can u guide me on this codecs thing then [13:04] I can try, 2 secs [13:04] ravibn: if you installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package you should ahve all codecs needed. [13:05] Apart from that, some restricted windows codecs available from medibuntu repo. [13:05] how would I chk that ? [13:05] supd apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extra's [13:05] extras* [13:05] sorry, too much grammar :p [13:05] Did you try disabling Compiz effects before watching a movie? [13:06] thats a good idea zeroseven0183 [13:06] no I did not disable anything [13:06] ravibn: did above reply that its installed? [13:06] hang on one sec [13:06] ravibn: Please do try [13:06] how are you starcraftman, long time no chat :) [13:07] yes! it installed restricted extras [13:07] Installing Ubuntu Restricted Extras is almost an automatic to me whenever I install Ubuntu to a machine. Might sound a newbie thing but it really helps. [13:09] Maddeth: Oh I'm alright, just relaxing a bit. [13:09] Maddeth: had a long semester. [13:10] ravibn, try it now [13:10] starcraftman, glad I don't have to study anymore [13:10] Yes! hang on I am trying to play that movie [13:11] ravibn: I just had a thought, I think I know how to fix this. You have vlc yes? Open VLC > Tools> Preferences > Video > Output > Change the type of video processing. Try openGL for instance or one of the other means. [13:13] ravibn: try playing a video after each change to test. [13:13] thanks ! now it is playing properly but when I play format like mkv the screen freezes still [13:14] in VLC the output was set to default [13:14] may need annother codec for mkv, let me have a look, try starcraftman's advice first through [13:14] ravibn, ^ [13:18] Maddeth: I doubt its a codec problem, else he'd be getting absolutely no video out. More likely I think is that he's having trouble decoding mkv since it's a very intesnive compression format. [13:19] ravibn, I had a look and mkv files should automagically be supported my vlc [13:19] starcraftman, agreed [13:19] starcraftman, ravibn, try as zeroseven0183 suggested and turn off compiz when playing that file [13:19] the audio is great but the video only pauses in betwn for the mkv format [13:22] hang on let me do that [13:25]
