| N-S[X1] | Hello. I'm experiencing random lock-ups of my Xubuntu 9.04. Where should I start looking for answers? | 01:41 |

| anom01y | no luck with the plymouth / nvidia issue and 10.04 ? | 02:30 |
| ochosi_ | anom01y, what do you mean? | 02:41 |
| anom01y | well like 1000 people are in Ubuntu complainaing about blank screens, failed bootups and other problems. | 02:42 |
| ochosi_ | i don't have any problems | 02:42 |
| anom01y | apparently its from Plymouth (part of Ubuntu), and Nvidia | 02:42 |
| anom01y | well I sure did | 02:42 |
| ochosi_ | using the proprietary nvidia driver and plymouth | 02:42 |
| anom01y | couldn't install it after 3 days of trying | 02:42 |
| anom01y | hmm | 02:42 |
| anom01y | yeah well it should just work, I know. But it didn't | 02:42 |
| ochosi_ | at first i used nouveau, but not having power management on a laptop makes it pretty useles imo | 02:42 |
| ochosi_ | can't say it just worked | 02:43 |
| ochosi_ | had to install the kernel headers | 02:43 |
| ochosi_ | somehow the dependencies of nvidia-current weren't all too great | 02:43 |
| ochosi_ | but with a tiny grub hack you can even get plymouth and flicker-free boot with nvidia's drivers | 02:44 |
| ochosi_ | anyways, the problem is that the proprietary nvidia driver doesn't support kms (kernel mode setting) which is needed for plymouth | 02:44 |
| ochosi_ | so ubuntu introduced a fallback option for that | 02:44 |
| ochosi_ | and that's working pretty ok if you ask me | 02:45 |

| homebrewcider | hi all, just upgraded from xubuntu 9.10 to 10.04, now thunar is acting weird. it won't let me select a file, say a jpg | 06:59 |
| moetunes | homebrewcider: you can open dirs? | 07:03 |
| homebrewcider | from the tree on the left, yes | 07:04 |
| moetunes | but not in the larger are on the right? | 07:05 |
| moetunes | s/are/area | 07:05 |
| homebrewcider | correct | 07:05 |
| moetunes | in terminal does ls -l show that you own all files in your home dir? | 07:06 |
| moetunes | there's been a couple of ppl mention this issue | 07:07 |
| homebrewcider | I assume so, it has mal mal ....with me being Mal | 07:13 |
| homebrewcider | should i uninstal thunar? | 07:15 |
| homebrewcider | and try again | 07:15 |
| moetunes | might be better to close thunar and remove its' config as a first go | 07:18 |
| moetunes | ~/.config/xfce4/thunar iirc | 07:18 |
| moetunes | homebrewcider: do it from terminal | 07:19 |
| homebrewcider | says no such directory | 07:26 |
| moetunes | homebrewcider: it might be .config/thunar - use the tab button in terminal | 07:28 |
| homebrewcider | there's a .config/Thunar directory | 07:29 |
| homebrewcider | now it's working | 07:30 |
| homebrewcider | without me really doing anything | 07:30 |
| homebrewcider | did I wake it up? | 07:30 |
| moetunes | who knows? :] | 07:35 |
| homebrewcider | now it's not working again | 07:39 |
| homebrewcider | aarrgghh | 07:39 |
| moetunes | I wonder if it is having issues due to hd errors... | 07:45 |
| homebrewcider | i have a .config/thunar filw but waht file am I looking for in there? | 07:50 |
| moetunes | homebrewcider: if you delete the folder it will remake all relevant files | 07:51 |
| homebrewcider | delete the whole .config/Thunar folder? | 07:52 |
| moetunes | I would | 07:52 |
| homebrewcider | ok | 07:52 |
| moetunes | to start from scratch with it | 07:52 |
| moetunes | homebrewcider: do it while thunar isn't running | 07:53 |
| homebrewcider | yes | 07:54 |
| homebrewcider | no, no difference | 07:58 |
| moetunes | homebrewcider: if you do sudo thunar in terminal does it then work? | 07:59 |
| homebrewcider | same problem if I do that | 07:59 |
| homebrewcider | one thing I noticed though | 08:00 |
| homebrewcider | it remade the thnar folder and I opened the file in it using krusader | 08:00 |
| homebrewcider | the file isthunarrc | 08:00 |
| homebrewcider | thunarrc | 08:00 |
| moetunes | yep - it is where your settings are saved | 08:00 |
| homebrewcider | first line says DefaultView=void | 08:01 |
| homebrewcider | ? | 08:01 |
| moetunes | says the same here so that's not it | 08:02 |
| homebrewcider | ok | 08:02 |
| moetunes | you could sudo apt-get remove --purge thunar then reinstall it | 08:03 |
| homebrewcider | yeah, might do that | 08:04 |
| homebrewcider | cheers | 08:04 |
| moetunes | apart from that I don't know what else to suggest | 08:04 |
| homebrewcider | thanks for your help | 08:04 |
| moetunes | np helping a fellow aussie :] | 08:04 |

| MaxFrames | hello | 09:55 |
| MaxFrames | ok, so I have a problem since I've upgraded to 10.04 and no one's been able to help me yet | 09:56 |
| MaxFrames | 1 time out of 3 approximately, when I shut down the system the screen goes black, the cursor stops blinking and two of the keyboard leds start flashing (caps lock and scroll lock) | 09:57 |
| MaxFrames | and the PC freezes so that I have to shut it down pressing the power button | 09:57 |
| MaxFrames | this never happened with 9.10 and I have no clue as to what the led flashing means and how to solve this | 09:58 |
| TheSheep | it means kernel panic | 10:17 |
| _Techie_ | i find it funny that your getting akernel panic on shutdown | 10:19 |
| MaxFrames | it's not that funny actually... expecially because I have no idea why it is happening, I did nothing but upgrading to 10 | 10:32 |
| MaxFrames | anyway, are you sure it means kernel panic? shouldn't all three leds blink? in my case the num lock led is not blinking | 10:33 |
| MaxFrames | oh and another thing... this is admittedly non-important... the splash xubuntu logo in 10.04 is butt ugly... surely it can't be meant to be that way... must be a resolution problem... in my case it' all jagged and in false colors like it was a 65k colors image viewed in 16 colors | 10:39 |

| opm595 | Looking for the eqivalent of gnomeppp for Xfce. Trying to crank a Hauwei K3520 USB Modem via Vodafone. Or should I keep away from the GUI's and stick with wvdial? | 13:23 |
| psycho_oreos | killrog, which driver did you get? | 13:25 |
| psycho_oreos | opm595, I use network manager (albeit I'm with 3) for that | 13:25 |
| opm595 | Yep, everyone seems to be saying the same thing. Three seems to be much more Nix happy for some reason. Hmmm | 13:26 |
| psycho_oreos | well I have huawei E1803, I'm sure network manager should work with it, can't see why not | 13:28 |
| psycho_oreos | and no, their support on nix is shoddy, I managed to figure out some myself | 13:28 |
| psycho_oreos | there's another tool which I don't think depends on gnome but possibly Qt called umtsmon (albeit that doesn't have fields to input pin) | 13:29 |
| opm595 | Ok, might be worth a try | 13:29 |
| psycho_oreos | on the other hand 3's user-less and password-less configuration doesn't work well with wvdial | 13:29 |
| psycho_oreos | what's wrong with network manager anyway | 13:30 |
| opm595 | Right. bottom line is I've had heaps of headaches connecting Vfone via any Nix distro that's been released in the last 12 months. (x)Ubuntu 8.10 I found was brillaint just setup the packages from Betavine + Net Manager and bingo - online in 5 mins | 13:32 |
| psycho_oreos | ahh I haven't bothered connecting my huawei dongle directly to my nix recently, initially I purchased their (3's) router, needless to say that it was complete garbage | 13:33 |
| psycho_oreos | s/nix\ recently/nix\ until\ recently/ | 13:34 |
| opm595 | Aah, just call a friend of mine who works for Three. Said he'd bring around a handful of USB modems/cards and see what works etc. | 13:39 |

| lilleman | But I cant get the network manager to work :/ And I need the network at boot, since I have NFS shares in my fstab | 18:49 |
| arthurjohnson | lilleman: Your trying to run it via network manager? | 18:50 |
| lilleman | arthurjohnson: Network in network manager is disabled... and enabling it has no effect | 18:50 |
| lilleman | tried to add a wired network there to, didnt work | 18:50 |
| arthurjohnson | lilleman: Check to see if auto eth0 is set, and that its commented out in interfaces | 18:51 |
| arthurjohnson | lilleman: like this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/427796/ | 18:51 |
| arthurjohnson | lilleman: Network Manager won't work if there is an "iface" line | 18:51 |
| lilleman | Okies. First out there was only the loopback in my /etc/network/interfaces... then it didnt work (it worked when I first installed, and even after reboot yesterday.) | 18:52 |
| lilleman | So I added "auto eth0" | 18:52 |
| lilleman | didnt work | 18:52 |

| lilleman | :) | 18:55 |
| lilleman | But, why did it shut down in the firstplace? | 18:55 |
| arthurjohnson | yeah, the auto line needs to be in there. Otherwise network manager won't look at the interface. | 18:55 |
| lilleman | I shouldnt need to to that after a fresh install, would I? | 18:55 |

| ircipimp | hi | 21:22 |
| ircipimp | what is the preferred way to install xubuntu with encrypted lvm? Until karmic i used to start the live cd and perform a manual encryption and partitioning. then i ran the installer on top of it. I've read in the technical notes and one bug report, that encrypted lvm+swap has issues. So: Can i use the livecd for this? or the alternate installer? | 21:23 |
| ircipimp | thanks for any help | 21:23 |
| ircipimp | also i'd like to perform raid configuration | 21:24 |
| charlie-tca | I don't think it makes any difference how you do it, lvm + swap + raid is going to be a fail | 21:25 |
| ircipimp | ok. will it work without swap? | 21:27 |

| haavaros | I'm trying to start a live USB session on a comp that usually runs ubuntu. I'm just now looking at a blinking screen, and the process has stopped at "Starting init crypto disks [OK]". I've checked the USB for error, none found. Is there a way I can install xubuntu in another way? e.g. alternate iso, and then installing the desktop environment? | 23:11 |
