=== bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [01:41] Hello. I'm experiencing random lock-ups of my Xubuntu 9.04. Where should I start looking for answers? [01:41] They can go on for several minutes and then suddenly un-freezes and the system acts normal again. [02:30] no luck with the plymouth / nvidia issue and 10.04 ? [02:41] anom01y, what do you mean? [02:42] well like 1000 people are in Ubuntu complainaing about blank screens, failed bootups and other problems. [02:42] i don't have any problems [02:42] apparently its from Plymouth (part of Ubuntu), and Nvidia [02:42] well I sure did [02:42] using the proprietary nvidia driver and plymouth [02:42] couldn't install it after 3 days of trying [02:42] hmm [02:42] yeah well it should just work, I know. But it didn't [02:42] at first i used nouveau, but not having power management on a laptop makes it pretty useles imo [02:43] can't say it just worked [02:43] had to install the kernel headers [02:43] somehow the dependencies of nvidia-current weren't all too great [02:44] but with a tiny grub hack you can even get plymouth and flicker-free boot with nvidia's drivers [02:44] anyways, the problem is that the proprietary nvidia driver doesn't support kms (kernel mode setting) which is needed for plymouth [02:44] so ubuntu introduced a fallback option for that [02:45] and that's working pretty ok if you ask me [03:02] hello === N-S[X1] is now known as Guest79357 [04:20] if my laptop had a problem with the ubuntu 10.04 kernel (intel graphics card problem), would xubuntu have the same problem? [04:35] how do i set my wireless to connect at startup? [04:40] 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] how do i set my wireless to connect at startup? [05:05] _pg_ make a bootalbe usb drive [05:09] _pg_, try a dvd [05:09] ubuntu is still developed for ppc? [05:09] i thought ppc was a dead arch [05:09] xubuntu still supports it [05:10] oh ok [05:10] i think... [05:10] but why ppc? [05:10] _pg_ have you had a look at debian? [05:11] CentOS and YellowDog are PPC [05:11] and slackintosh is ppc [05:12] Can nybody help me with samba? [05:12] I can't share my homedir [05:12] for guest account [05:13] Besogon, is it for a business? just curious [05:14] i'm a one computer kinda guy. always works out for me [05:14] actually using my new netbook right now, works great :) [05:15] Does anyone have suggestions for a good pdf viewer? [05:15] hi [05:15] hola [05:16] aigoo, go to adobe site [05:18] 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] What should I download to make the mouse work in cli? [05:28] aigoo you dont need to dl anything to use a mouse in cli... [05:28] what is cli? [05:29] command line interface [05:30] I did it. there should be nstalled a package... I can't remember now what exactly [05:30] i prefer gui for almost everything [05:31] yes. but when you hove no X on your server mouse is usefull too. [05:33] Besogon, what happened? [05:34] I've installed gpm and it works now. [05:34] What are you interested about? [05:35] robertzaccour, [05:36] OK. In my samba file I have string: guest account = nobody [05:37] and at the [homes] section :guest ok = yes [05:37] "net rpc user" told me that "nobody" account exists [05:38] then I'm trying to connect to my [homes] [05:39] smbclient //roma-desktop/homes [05:39] And get: "Anonymous login successful" [05:40] but "tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME" after this [05:40] Besogon, sounds complicated [05:42] yes.

[06:18] ther's #ubuntu-ppc iirc [06:19] it's #ubuntu-powerpc [06:20] i've heard there isn't very much ppc users/devs anymore [06:20] _heh - he left straight after asking [06:20] 15 ppl on that channel [06:59] 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] homebrewcider: you can open dirs? [07:04] from the tree on the left, yes [07:05] but not in the larger are on the right? [07:05] s/are/area [07:05] correct [07:06] in terminal does ls -l show that you own all files in your home dir? [07:07] there's been a couple of ppl mention this issue [07:13] I assume so, it has mal mal ....with me being Mal [07:15] should i uninstal thunar? [07:15] and try again [07:18] might be better to close thunar and remove its' config as a first go [07:18] ~/.config/xfce4/thunar iirc [07:19] homebrewcider: do it from terminal [07:26] says no such directory [07:28] homebrewcider: it might be .config/thunar - use the tab button in terminal [07:29] there's a .config/Thunar directory [07:30] now it's working [07:30] without me really doing anything [07:30] did I wake it up? [07:35] who knows? :] [07:39] now it's not working again [07:39] aarrgghh [07:45] I wonder if it is having issues due to hd errors... [07:50] i have a .config/thunar filw but waht file am I looking for in there? [07:51] homebrewcider: if you delete the folder it will remake all relevant files [07:52] delete the whole .config/Thunar folder? [07:52] I would [07:52] ok [07:52] to start from scratch with it [07:53] homebrewcider: do it while thunar isn't running [07:54] yes [07:58] no, no difference [07:59] homebrewcider: if you do sudo thunar in terminal does it then work? [07:59] same problem if I do that [08:00] one thing I noticed though [08:00] it remade the thnar folder and I opened the file in it using krusader [08:00] the file isthunarrc [08:00] thunarrc [08:00] yep - it is where your settings are saved [08:01] first line says DefaultView=void [08:01] ? [08:02] says the same here so that's not it [08:02] ok [08:03] you could sudo apt-get remove --purge thunar then reinstall it [08:04] yeah, might do that [08:04] cheers [08:04] apart from that I don't know what else to suggest [08:04] thanks for your help [08:04] np helping a fellow aussie :] [08:04] oi oi oi [08:04] where are you?

[09:30] in dmesg the card gets detected [09:35] running thunar as root I see the sd card [09:35] what gives? [09:36] <_Techie_> is it mounted with read access for regular users? [09:55] hello [09:56] 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] 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] and the PC freezes so that I have to shut it down pressing the power button [09:58] 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] it means kernel panic [10:19] <_Techie_> i find it funny that your getting akernel panic on shutdown [10:32] 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] 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] 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] hello [11:02] :D [11:03] Sysi, how are you man ?? [11:04] fast visit [11:14] if my laptop had a problem with the ubuntu 10.04 kernel (intel graphics card problem), would xubuntu have the same problem? [11:16] yes [11:30] er... no one can help me then? (see above) [12:42] Who do I send flowers to over the decision to swap to xscreensaver? [13:08] hello all... I am real new to this linux/Xubuntu thing and am having problems with my res [13:08] I seem to have only 256 colors [13:09] on an ATI rage 128 VR [13:10] hello? any1 out there [13:11] you'll need legacy ati driver [13:11] ok, I think I have that [13:12] hm [13:12] !ati [13:12] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:13] I think I got the driver, I did a get-app for ati driver [13:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [13:13] hi. I can't hear audio on 10.04. In the previous installation (9.10) it worked... what could I do? [13:14] <_Techie_> ocs, check your outputs arent muted [13:16] 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] what does that mean [13:17] I cut my teeth on DOS but linux blows my mind\ [13:20] hi. I can't hear audio on 10.04. In the previous installation (9.10) it worked... what could I do? [13:20] alsamixer is ok [13:21] howdy all [13:23] 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] killrog, which driver did you get? [13:25] opm595, I use network manager (albeit I'm with 3) for that [13:26] Yep, everyone seems to be saying the same thing. Three seems to be much more Nix happy for some reason. Hmmm [13:28] well I have huawei E1803, I'm sure network manager should work with it, can't see why not [13:28] and no, their support on nix is shoddy, I managed to figure out some myself [13:29] 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] Ok, might be worth a try [13:29] on the other hand 3's user-less and password-less configuration doesn't work well with wvdial [13:30] what's wrong with network manager anyway [13:32] 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] 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] s/nix\ recently/nix\ until\ recently/ [13:39] 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] I'll report back what happens [13:45] Crickey! It's pumkin hour!

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] 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] lilleman: Your trying to run it via network manager? [18:50] arthurjohnson: Network in network manager is disabled... and enabling it has no effect [18:50] tried to add a wired network there to, didnt work [18:51] lilleman: Check to see if auto eth0 is set, and that its commented out in interfaces [18:51] lilleman: like this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/427796/ [18:51] lilleman: Network Manager won't work if there is an "iface" line [18:52] 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] So I added "auto eth0" [18:52] didnt work [18:53] lilleman: Did you restart? [18:53] erh... hm.... *thinking* [18:53] :) [18:53] *trying* [18:53] lilleman: I would reboot the computer [18:53] lilleman: That way your sure [18:55] awsum [18:55] so [18:55] now it works [18:55] when I added "auto eth0" [18:55] giggity! [18:55] :) [18:55] But, why did it shut down in the firstplace? [18:55] yeah, the auto line needs to be in there. Otherwise network manager won't look at the interface. [18:55] I shouldnt need to to that after a fresh install, would I? [18:56] lilleman: Sometimes. Did you use desktop or alternate? [18:56] desktop [18:56] hniii [18:56] lilleman: Odd. Might have found a bug ;) [18:56] :) [18:56] xubuntu 10.04 installation is really sweet [18:56] 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] 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] anybody running vdr on xubuntu 10.04? [18:58] 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] tyvm for the help! [18:58] lilleman: You are most welcome. [18:59] lilleman: what are you using for your htpc? xbmc? === _pg__ is now known as _pg_ [19:35] <_pg_> any g3 users? [19:42] _pg_: there is #ubuntu-powerpc for that mate :] [19:42] <_pg_> im in there too ;) thnx [19:42] np [20:11] 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] switch it back to icon view or use compact view instead of detailed view [20:13] see https://launchpad.net/bugs/520118 [20:13] ?! It works. Ctrl-1 Ctrl-2 solved it... [20:14] ah.. and already reported. Great! Thank you! [20:14] yes. You are welcome [20:20] <_pg_> can xfce use compiz? or does it come with something comprable? [20:21] xfce has own copositing [20:21] in window manager tweaks [20:21] *compositing [20:21] 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] E? [20:29] <_pg_> Sysi: Enlightenment? [20:30] idk, never used that [20:30] docks work with compositing on [20:30] !dock [20:30] no.. [20:33] <_pg_> gotta run, thanks for the nfo [20:42] Where is menu.xml?

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] thanks for any help [21:24] also i'd like to perform raid configuration [21:25] I don't think it makes any difference how you do it, lvm + swap + raid is going to be a fail [21:27] ok. will it work without swap? [21:27] i probably have enough ram anyways [21:32] can the live cd do an encrypted lvm install at all? [21:53] Anybody else here using Chrome on 10.04? [22:00] arthurjohnson: im using chromium [22:02] 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] arthurjohnson: so far mine has been solid i use the daily builds [22:11] can i install from a usb pen drive? [22:15] !usb [22:15] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [23:03] 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] I found it :-] [23:11] 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? === tuvok302Lappy is now known as tuvok302
