[01:41] <N-S[X1]> Hello. I'm experiencing random lock-ups of my Xubuntu 9.04. Where should I start looking for answers?
[01:41] <N-S[X1]> They can go on for several minutes and then suddenly un-freezes and the system acts normal again.
[02:30] <anom01y> no luck with the plymouth / nvidia issue and 10.04 ?
[02:41] <ochosi_> anom01y, what do you mean?
[02:42] <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
[02:43] <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
[02:44] <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
[02:45] <ochosi_> and that's working pretty ok if you ask me
[03:02] <nicholast> hello
[04:20] <ramenfan123> if my laptop had a problem with the ubuntu 10.04 kernel (intel graphics card problem), would xubuntu have the same problem?
[04:35] <robertzaccour> how do i set my wireless to connect at startup?
[04:40] <robertzaccour> how do i set my wireless to connect at startup?
[04:56] <_pg_> i downloaded xubuntu 9.10 for PPC iso but its 757 mb! how can i burn this on a cd?
[04:57] <_pg_> anyone?
[05:02] <_pg_> anyone?
[05:03] <robertzaccour> how do i set my wireless to connect at startup?
[05:05] <ramenfan123> _pg_ make a bootalbe usb drive
[05:09] <robertzaccour> _pg_, try a dvd
[05:09] <robertzaccour> ubuntu is still developed for ppc?
[05:09] <robertzaccour> i thought ppc was a dead arch
[05:09] <ramenfan123> xubuntu still supports it
[05:10] <robertzaccour> oh ok
[05:10] <ramenfan123> i think...
[05:10] <robertzaccour> but why ppc?
[05:10] <ramenfan123> _pg_ have you had a look at debian?
[05:11] <robertzaccour> CentOS and YellowDog are PPC
[05:11] <robertzaccour> and slackintosh is ppc
[05:12] <Besogon> Can nybody help me with samba?
[05:12] <Besogon> I can't share my homedir
[05:12] <Besogon> for guest account
[05:13] <robertzaccour> Besogon, is it for a business? just curious
[05:14] <robertzaccour> i'm a one computer kinda guy. always works out for me
[05:14] <robertzaccour> actually using my new netbook right now, works great :)
[05:15] <aigoo> Does anyone have suggestions for a good pdf viewer?
[05:15] <xubuntu215> hi
[05:15] <xubuntu215> hola
[05:16] <Besogon> aigoo, go to adobe site
[05:18] <Besogon> robertzaccour, You said you were one computer kind of guy. But all the same. Home dirrectory should be visible for my netbook for guest acount because the netbook  has SHARE sequrity
[05:24] <aigoo> What should I download to make the mouse work in cli?
[05:28] <ramenfan123> aigoo you dont need to dl anything to use a mouse in cli...
[05:28] <Besogon> what is cli?
[05:29] <ramenfan123> command line interface
[05:30] <Besogon> I did it. there should be nstalled a package... I can't remember now what exactly
[05:30] <robertzaccour> i prefer gui for almost everything
[05:31] <Besogon> yes. but when you hove no X on your server mouse is usefull too.
[05:33] <robertzaccour> Besogon, what happened?
[05:34] <aigoo> I've installed gpm and it works now.
[05:34] <Besogon> What are you interested about?
[05:35] <Besogon> robertzaccour,
[05:36] <Besogon> OK. In my samba file I have string: guest account = nobody
[05:37] <Besogon> and at the [homes] section :guest ok = yes
[05:37] <Besogon> "net rpc user" told me that "nobody" account exists
[05:38] <Besogon> then I'm trying to connect to my [homes]
[05:39] <Besogon> smbclient //roma-desktop/homes
[05:39] <Besogon> And get: "Anonymous login successful"
[05:40] <Besogon> but "tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME" after this
[05:40] <robertzaccour> Besogon, sounds complicated
[05:42] <Besogon> yes.
[06:16] <_pg_>  I need help installing ubuntu on a ppc g3 iMac. I downloaded ppc xubuntu but it won't fit on a cd. And I cant get any intel macs to boot to it to install via target disk mode.
[06:18] <Sysi> !ppc
[06:18] <Sysi> mmh, was there irc channel..
[06:18] <moetunes> ther's #ubuntu-ppc iirc
[06:19] <moetunes> it's #ubuntu-powerpc
[06:20] <Sysi> i've heard there isn't very much ppc users/devs anymore
[06:20] <moetunes> _heh - he left straight after asking
[06:20] <moetunes> 15 ppl on that channel
[06:59] <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
[07:03] <moetunes> homebrewcider: you can open dirs?
[07:04] <homebrewcider> from the tree on the left, yes
[07:05] <moetunes> but not in the larger are on the right?
[07:05] <moetunes> s/are/area
[07:05] <homebrewcider> correct
[07:06] <moetunes> in terminal does   ls -l   show that you own all files in your home dir?
[07:07] <moetunes> there's been a couple of ppl mention this issue
[07:13] <homebrewcider> I assume so, it has mal mal ....with me being Mal
[07:15] <homebrewcider> should i uninstal thunar?
[07:15] <homebrewcider> and try again
[07:18] <moetunes> might be better to close thunar and remove its' config as a first go
[07:18] <moetunes> ~/.config/xfce4/thunar   iirc
[07:19] <moetunes> homebrewcider: do it from terminal
[07:26] <homebrewcider> says no such directory
[07:28] <moetunes> homebrewcider: it might be .config/thunar - use the tab button in terminal
[07:29] <homebrewcider> there's a .config/Thunar directory
[07:30] <homebrewcider> now it's working
[07:30] <homebrewcider> without me really doing anything
[07:30] <homebrewcider> did I wake it up?
[07:35] <moetunes> who knows? :]
[07:39] <homebrewcider> now it's not working again
[07:39] <homebrewcider> aarrgghh
[07:45] <moetunes> I wonder if it is having issues due to hd errors...
[07:50] <homebrewcider> i have a .config/thunar filw but waht file am I looking for in there?
[07:51] <moetunes> homebrewcider: if you delete the folder it will remake all relevant files
[07:52] <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
[07:53] <moetunes> homebrewcider: do it while thunar isn't running
[07:54] <homebrewcider> yes
[07:58] <homebrewcider> no, no difference
[07:59] <moetunes> homebrewcider: if you do   sudo thunar   in terminal does it then work?
[07:59] <homebrewcider> same problem if I do that
[08:00] <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
[08:01] <homebrewcider> first line says DefaultView=void
[08:01] <homebrewcider> ?
[08:02] <moetunes> says the same here so that's not it
[08:02] <homebrewcider> ok
[08:03] <moetunes> you could   sudo apt-get remove --purge thunar   then reinstall it
[08:04] <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] <homebrewcider> oi oi oi
[08:04] <homebrewcider> where are you?
[08:05] <moetunes> brisbane
[08:05] <homebrewcider> cool
[08:05] <homebrewcider> cheers
[08:05] <moetunes> yourself?

[09:29] <evanthia_> hi
[09:29] <evanthia_> after upgrading to lucid, thunar doesnt show my sd card on my Asus eee 901
[09:29] <evanthia_> is there some missing software?
[09:30] <evanthia_> in dmesg the card gets detected
[09:35] <evanthia_> running thunar as root I see the sd card
[09:35] <evanthia_> what gives?
[09:36] <_Techie_> is it mounted with read access for regular users?
[09:55] <MaxFrames> hello
[09:56] <MaxFrames> ok, so I have a problem since I've upgraded to 10.04 and no one's been able to help me yet
[09:57] <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
[09:58] <MaxFrames> this never happened with 9.10 and I have no clue as to what the led flashing means and how to solve this
[10:17] <TheSheep> it means kernel panic
[10:19] <_Techie_> i find it funny that your getting  akernel panic on shutdown
[10:32] <MaxFrames> it's not that funny actually... expecially because I have no idea why it is happening, I did nothing but upgrading to 10
[10:33] <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
[10:39] <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
[11:02] <subspider> hello
[11:02] <subspider> :D
[11:03] <subspider> Sysi, how are you man ??
[11:04] <Sysi> fast visit
[11:14] <ramenfan123> if my laptop had a problem with the ubuntu 10.04 kernel (intel graphics card problem), would xubuntu have the same problem?
[11:16] <Sysi> yes
[11:30] <MaxFrames> er... no one can help me then? (see above)
[12:42] <frnknstn> Who do I send flowers to over the decision to swap to xscreensaver?

[13:14] <_Techie_> ocs, check your outputs arent muted
[13:16] <killrog> srry to be such a noob, but I did the first thing it said to do on that help page and got nothing
[13:16] <killrog> what does that mean

[13:23] <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?
[13:25] <psycho_oreos> killrog, which driver did you get?
[13:25] <psycho_oreos> opm595, I use network manager (albeit I'm with 3) for that
[13:26] <opm595> Yep, everyone seems to be saying the same thing. Three seems to be much more Nix happy for some reason. Hmmm
[13:28] <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
[13:29] <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
[13:30] <psycho_oreos> what's wrong with network manager anyway
[13:32] <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
[13:33] <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
[13:34] <psycho_oreos> s/nix\ recently/nix\ until\ recently/
[13:39] <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] <opm595> I'll report back what happens
[13:45] <opm595> Crickey! It's pumkin hour! I'm off to count Penguins  :) Seeya's

[18:01] <_pg_> hello, I am trying to put Xubuntu on a g3 ppc imac and I have issues, I downloaded the cd but it is like 722 mb and wont fit on a cd. So i downloaded the alternate (xubuntu 9.10 ppc alternate) and burned it to a cd and now i cant boot to that either. any ideas?
[18:02] <TheSheep> !ppc

[18:48] <lilleman> Yo! My eth0 is missing when I start. It works fine on the liveCD, and I can start it manually by adding it to /etc/network/interfaces and then do /etc/init.d/networking restart
[18:49] <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
[18:50] <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
[18:51] <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
[18:52] <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
[18:53] <arthurjohnson> lilleman: Did you restart?
[18:53] <lilleman> erh... hm.... *thinking*
[18:53] <lilleman> :)
[18:53] <lilleman> *trying*
[18:53] <arthurjohnson> lilleman: I would reboot the computer
[18:53] <arthurjohnson> lilleman: That way your sure
[18:55] <lilleman> awsum
[18:55] <lilleman> so
[18:55] <lilleman> now it works
[18:55] <lilleman> when I added "auto eth0"
[18:55] <arthurjohnson> giggity!
[18:55] <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?
[18:56] <arthurjohnson> lilleman: Sometimes.  Did you use desktop or alternate?
[18:56] <lilleman> desktop
[18:56] <xubuntu983> hniii
[18:56] <arthurjohnson> lilleman: Odd.  Might have found a bug ;)
[18:56] <lilleman> :)
[18:56] <xubuntu983> xubuntu 10.04 installation is really sweet
[18:56] <arthurjohnson> If I do a ubunbu minimal install then add xfce4 or xubuntu-desktop from the command line, it doesn't always show up.
[18:57] <lilleman> Hm... just a thought, I run ubuntu 9.10 on my "normal" computer, and it only has the loopback in /etc/network/interfaces
[18:58] <xubuntu983> anybody running vdr on xubuntu 10.04?
[18:58] <lilleman> arthurjohnson: hm... Alrighty. I could see if I can reproduce... but not today. I want to watch a movie on my new xubuntu HTPC :D
[18:58] <lilleman> tyvm for the help!
[18:58] <arthurjohnson> lilleman: You are most welcome.
[18:59] <xubuntu983> lilleman: what are you using for your htpc? xbmc?
[19:35] <_pg_> any g3 users?
[19:42] <moetunes> _pg_: there is #ubuntu-powerpc for that mate :]
[19:42] <_pg_> im in there too ;) thnx

[20:11] <S0210> I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.4 but my Thunar is screwed up. Sometimes it stops accepting left mouse clicks. Is there a way to debug what's going on? :-(
[20:12] <charlie-tca> switch it back to icon view or use compact view instead of detailed view
[20:13] <charlie-tca> see https://launchpad.net/bugs/520118
[20:13] <S0210> ?! It works. Ctrl-1 Ctrl-2 solved it...
[20:14] <S0210> ah.. and already reported. Great! Thank you!
[20:14] <charlie-tca> yes. You are welcome
[20:20] <_pg_> can xfce use compiz? or does it come with something comprable?
[20:21] <Sysi> xfce has own copositing

[20:21] <Sysi> *compositing
[20:21] <Sysi> but it also works with compiz
[20:28] <_pg_> Sysi: cool thanks!
[20:29] <_pg_> Sysi: is there anything like E's panels in xfce?
[20:29] <Sysi> E?
[20:29] <_pg_> Sysi: Enlightenment?

[21:22] <ircipimp> hi
[21:23] <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
[21:24] <ircipimp> also i'd like to perform raid configuration
[21:25] <charlie-tca> I don't think it makes any difference how you do it, lvm + swap + raid is going to be a fail
[21:27] <ircipimp> ok. will it work without swap?
[21:27] <ircipimp> i probably have enough ram anyways
[21:32] <ircipimp> can the live cd do an encrypted lvm install at all?
[21:53] <arthurjohnson> Anybody else here using Chrome on 10.04?
[22:00] <lostson> arthurjohnson: im using chromium
[22:02] <arthurjohnson> Hm. Google Chrome Beta is acting flakey on one of my xubuntu machines.  Won't load tabs sometimes, while the same tabs in firefox on the same machine load fine.
[22:07] <lostson> arthurjohnson: so far mine has been solid i use the daily builds
[22:11] <server_side> can i install from a usb pen drive?
[22:15] <TheSheep> !usb
[23:03] <S0210> I've just installed firetray add-on in my Thunderbird 3.04 (under Xubuntu 10.04) but starting Thunderbird gives "Segmentation fault". Can I manually delete/remove this extension?
[23:05] <S0210> I found it :-]
[23:11] <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?
