| FFForever | Ello | 15:33 |
| FFForever | I enabled the nvidia driver from the restricted driver manager and for some reason it fails to load, any ideas on debugging it? | 15:34 |
| likemindead | Hmm... I've never had a problem with it. | 15:35 |
| likemindead | What's the hardware? | 15:35 |
| FFForever | (or where the log file is for the nvidia driver) | 15:36 |
| FFForever | an acer AR1600-U910H | 15:43 |
| likemindead | But what is the NVIDIA hardware? | 15:44 |
| FFForever | stupid wifi... | 15:46 |
| FFForever | nVidia Corporation ION LE VGA | 15:46 |
| FFForever | I got it working by reinstalling the driver | 15:50 |
| likemindead | Oh, good! | 15:50 |
| alexwizard | first run slackware and black screen, what is the command to run xorg or other graphic mode ? | 15:52 |
| likemindead | You're dual booting Xubuntu and Slackware? | 15:53 |
| alexwizard | only one, Slackware | 15:54 |
| likemindead | Well... head to #slackware then... | 15:54 |
| alexwizard | ok | 15:55 |
| alexwizard | thanks | 15:55 |
| likemindead | Or just install Xubuntu! :D | 15:56 |
| alexwizard | my computer: Duron 650, 256 RAM and i installed Xubuntu, but is too slow work | 16:01 |
| likemindead | Ah. | 16:02 |
| likemindead | antiX or CrunchBang would be my choice, then. | 16:02 |
| Sysi | !lubuntu | 16:03 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu | 16:03 |
| iamm | hello, i'm a semi-convert to linux just recently and i've managed to install xubuntu karmic on a lenovo s10-2, side by side with windows but having problems w/ the wifi driver | 16:33 |
| iamm | the ISO i've downloaded doesn't come w/ b43fwcutter or the bcmwl ? | 16:33 |
| schlaftier | iamm: could you open a terminal and run: lshw -C network | 16:35 |
| iamm | so instead i've downloaded fwcutter but doesn't activate even w/ a restart. and the bcmwl kernel doesn't pursued to install giving me an error in downloading, but i've downloadd it from the repositories | 16:35 |
| iamm | i'm currently using the winxp here though... :/ | 16:37 |
| schlaftier | ah I see | 16:37 |
| schlaftier | there are a couple of threads in the forums though | 16:37 |
| schlaftier | I just did a quick Google search and tons of pages turned up | 16:37 |
| schlaftier | for your specific hardware, there seems to be a workaround | 16:38 |
| iamm | yes i've checked, but those drivers same w/ xubuntu? doesn't seem to work on mine... as i've downloaded the 2 drivers like on above | 16:39 |
| iamm | one was installed but doesn't activate, and the other doesn't install at all... | 16:39 |
| schlaftier | There is no big difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu, so anything that's not related to the interface should work on Xubuntu, too | 16:40 |
| schlaftier | maybe try asking in #ubuntu (more people there) | 16:41 |
| iamm | i see.. | 16:41 |
| iamm | thanks for the infos | 16:41 |
| likemindead | I'd upgrade to 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), iamm. That alone may fix your issue. | 16:49 |
| iamm | okay i'll try thanks. could i possibly upgrade from the new ISO i've downloaded, through Update Manager? | 16:57 |
| likemindead | Yes. | 16:59 |
| likemindead | iamm: http://www.geekazine.com/news/franks-thoughts/upgrading-ubuntu-karmic-koala-to-lucid-lynx | 17:00 |
| iamm | thanks a lot | 17:02 |
| likemindead | Good too: http://qwertyweb.blogspot.com/2010/05/update-ubuntu-karmic-to-lucid.html | 17:02 |
| iamm | ah this is perfect, for offline upgrade :) thanks thanks | 17:05 |

| MrNaz` | is there a basic calendar widget? you know like when you double click the system tray clock in windows? | 19:21 |
| MrNaz` | and cal in a terminal is a bit too basic | 19:21 |
| MrNaz` | i'd like to at least be able to flip back and forth between months | 19:22 |
| charlie-tca | MrNaz: yes, it is called orage and is in the menu applications -> Office -> Orage | 19:25 |
| charlie-tca | If you install 'orage clock' in the panel, you can click it to dropdown the monthly calendar, click again to disappear it | 19:26 |
| charlie-tca | I replace the existing panel clock with 'orage clock' here | 19:27 |
| schlaftier | I keep both and have the clock set to analogue and Orage shows the current date and weekday | 19:31 |
| schlaftier | charlie-tca: thanks for your comment on that bug report, I went back to the original repositories now | 19:31 |
| schlaftier | Can't say if it fixed the freeze for me, though. It still freezes but there might be some piece of exo lurking in RAM somewhere and I really can't reboot or log out right now. | 19:32 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 19:33 |
| charlie-tca | Keeping my fingers crossed. It worked well for me on both 32bit and 64bit | 19:33 |
| schlaftier | If not, I'll use the PPA again because that fixed it *and* added to Thunar's sidebar. (Just that minor exo-open issue) | 19:34 |
| charlie-tca | That will work, too | 19:34 |
| naxa | hi! ok, so the fireflies from xubuntu gdm artwork of karmid are gone in lucid. how can i get them back? ( 2) why on earth is that fascinating stuff is gone? ) | 19:37 |
| charlie-tca | naxa: go back to karmic? | 19:38 |
| naxa | charlie-tca, no way! | 19:38 |
| naxa | I hate karmic anyways. if I go back that would be jaunty | 19:38 |
| charlie-tca | The applications used to boot changed, and the same splash screens were incompatible | 19:38 |
| charlie-tca | or at least, not able to be used | 19:38 |
| naxa | charlie-tca, but i thought karmic used the same gdm as lucid? | 19:39 |
| naxa | the big shift was between jaunty and karmic | 19:39 |
| charlie-tca | but lucid is using plymouth and xsplash instead of usplash | 19:39 |
| naxa | and exactly that's why i love jaunty and hate poor karmic :) | 19:39 |
| naxa | charlie-tca, well is that anything to do with the gdm? | 19:39 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 19:40 |
| naxa | i see | 19:40 |
| charlie-tca | it changes the interactions | 19:40 |
| naxa | were the fireflies gdm stuff? | 19:40 |
| naxa | or usplash? | 19:40 |
| charlie-tca | not sure | 19:40 |
| naxa | i think they were fascinating | 19:40 |
| naxa | anyway I think that it's a pain that the new gdm and new splash does not support the level of creativity the old ones do | 19:41 |
| ochosi | naxa, the fireflies were xsplash | 19:41 |
| naxa | ochosi, i see. | 19:41 |
| naxa | charlie-tca, ochosi in that case they could be used in lucid, too? | 19:42 |
| ochosi | i guess, if you really want an additional splash... | 19:42 |
| naxa | now where can I find the package? what is the name? :) | 19:43 |
| ochosi | xsplash? | 19:43 |
| naxa | well I guess it's something like xubuntu-artwork-xplash or something like this | 19:43 |
| naxa | s | 19:43 |
| naxa | yeah | 19:44 |
| naxa | any clue of why are they gone? | 19:44 |
| naxa | I would like to point out for somebody somewhere that I've found them fascinating and I miiss them a lot | 19:44 |
| knome | xsplash is not supposed to be installed by default in xubuntu | 19:44 |
| schlaftier | I loved the fireflies too and find it sad they're gone | 19:45 |
| schlaftier | But then again, I see the login screen rarely (all hibernate and suspend for me) | 19:45 |
| knome | the credits on the fireflies go to madsrh, http://anotherubuntu.blogspot.com/ | 19:46 |
| naxa | schlaftier, well, one thing I don't accept is arguments like "oh it doesnt matter the user would rarely seen the login screen anyway" :) | 19:48 |
| naxa | knome, thanks for the information | 19:48 |
| naxa | schlaftier, I tend to think that the creativity of the members of the community is a big advantage of linux and open source stuff in general and that it should be taken seriously, not ripped off | 19:49 |
| schlaftier | naxa: That was not meant to be an argument. It was just to say that I, personally, can do without the fireflies | 19:49 |
| schlaftier | naxa: Would you please read my _first_ line too, instead of accusing me? I'm on _your_ side on this issue. | 19:49 |
| knome | :P | 19:50 |
| naxa | schlaftier, I see! and i didn't want to talk "against you", it's just you rang the bell and I started to talk in general | 19:50 |
| schlaftier | naxa: fair enough :) | 19:50 |
| schlaftier | I hope it's not too hard to get xsplash running again | 19:51 |
| naxa | schlaftier, sorry if this seemed like an attack | 19:51 |
| charlie-tca | knome: do you know if there is a way to replace the current splash screen with the karmic screen? | 19:51 |
| knome | charlie-tca, no, i don't | 19:51 |
| knome | charlie-tca, as said, the fireflies we're xsplash | 19:51 |
| knome | charlie-tca, and we're not using that anymore | 19:51 |
| schlaftier | naxa: No problem, I was just like "hey, fair point, but why is naxa talking to me personally" :) | 19:51 |
| naxa | also, I would like to communicate to the creators of xubuntu that we miss the fireflies... how can this be done? | 19:51 |
| charlie-tca | you have | 19:52 |
| naxa | schlaftier, yeah sorry. :D | 19:52 |
| knome | naxa, point taken. :) | 19:52 |
| naxa | charlie-tca, you mean it's just happened here right now? | 19:52 |
| charlie-tca | knome: can I pm you? | 19:53 |
| knome | naxa, yes he does | 19:53 |
| knome | charlie-tca, sure | 19:53 |
| charlie-tca | yes, naxa | 19:53 |
| naxa | charlie-tca, knome great! i am happy! :) | 19:53 |
| charlie-tca | knome: pm me | 19:55 |
| plouffe | does xubuntu have the same grub problems as ubuntu, with people not being able to boot after the upgrade to 10.04 | 20:06 |
| charlie-tca | Depends on what you mean, exactly. Upgrading from Ubuntu/xubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 should not be a problem | 20:07 |
| charlie-tca | Upgrading in windows seems to be different | 20:07 |
| charlie-tca | Windows dual boot may have issues, yes | 20:08 |
| naxa | i upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and there was no problem. I already used grub2 (or whatever, the new grub) in 9.10 | 20:08 |
| plouffe | so it only happens when it switches to a new grub? | 20:09 |
| naxa | well I do remember that in 9.10 getting grub2 done wasn't that trivial, maybe | 20:09 |
| naxa | but I can't really reacall | 20:09 |
| charlie-tca | no, it happens if you have windows installed | 20:09 |
| plouffe | how can I check my grub version? | 20:10 |
| plouffe | charlie-tca, are you saying that if I have a dualboot, I will have that same problem with every upgrade? | 20:10 |
| charlie-tca | do you get a menu when booting? | 20:10 |
| naxa | plouffe, it seems (charlie-tca tells that) it's nothing to do with the grub version. sorry, I think I've just mislead you. listen to charlie-tca he is far more experienced than I am :) | 20:10 |
| plouffe | charlie-tca, , I do get a menu now. I did fresh install of xubuntu 9.10 recently | 20:11 |
| charlie-tca | plouffe: no, I am saying that at this time, there seems to be a problem with upgrading when dual booting windows | 20:11 |
| charlie-tca | If you get a menu, it should have a line like "menu version 1.97~" or so across the top | 20:12 |
| naxa | charlie-tca, what about "sudo grub-setup --version" | 20:13 |
| charlie-tca | sure, if it works. I am by no means an expert on these things | 20:13 |
| plouffe | 1.97~beta4 | 20:13 |
| plouffe | so not grub2 yet? | 20:13 |
| naxa | charlie-tca, well i don't know if it tells the truth but mine is 1.98-1ubuntu6 | 20:14 |
| naxa | hm but I'm pretty sure i did installed the grub2. hm | 20:14 |
| charlie-tca | plouffe: you are on 9.10, right? naxa: you are on 10.04? | 20:14 |
| naxa | charlie-tca, it's 10.04 here, yes | 20:14 |
| plouffe | charlie-tca, yes 9.10 | 20:14 |
| charlie-tca | Both are grub2 | 20:14 |
| naxa | ok | 20:15 |
| naxa | misleadinf the version info it is | 20:15 |
| naxa | g | 20:15 |
| charlie-tca | plouffe: I can't find the bug right now, on the upgrade when dual booting | 20:15 |
| plouffe | charlie-tca, but there would still be problems with the upgrade? It took me one day to boot back into ubuntu after upgrading to 9.10 | 20:15 |
| charlie-tca | Those without windows don't seem to be affected, other than the ubuntu desktop / kubuntu desktop / xubuntu desktop installed bug | 20:16 |
| plouffe | but since I've installed xubuntu a lot of my problems (sound, wifi, etc) disappeared | 20:16 |
| charlie-tca | Some people with windows dual boot have reported issues upgrading to 10.04 | 20:16 |
| naxa | plouffe, I don't know if it is possible with you but I tend to think that it's better to keep a "test-ubuntu" on the computer and first try every upgrade on the test-ubuntu | 20:18 |
| naxa | so i mean I prefer if one has two ubuntus, one for daily life and one for testing | 20:18 |
| charlie-tca | there will be a ubuntu 10.04.1 also, in about 4 months | 20:19 |
| charlie-tca | That will probably have the issues seen now fixed | 20:19 |
| naxa | well it's the same with windows with me. I tend to think there is no need to hastle into the new version. better try it on another partition first... | 20:22 |
| naxa | i ended up with ubuntu 10.04 and winxp dual booting | 20:23 |
| naxa | by hastle i mean "rush" :) | 20:24 |
| edakiri | Why might it be that I have no 'suspend' or 'hibernate' option in power manager? Something need to be installed? | 20:49 |
| naxa | (i don't know:( ) | 20:52 |
| charlie-tca | edakiri: how many channels are you asking in? | 20:55 |
| edakiri | 2. Am I forgetting any? I should have asked in this one first, but it did not occur to me until I already asked in #XFCE. | 20:56 |
| charlie-tca | If you ask in more than one at time, you could get banned... | 20:56 |
| edakiri | They are both relevant channels. If I don't get an answer, it's not redundant. | 20:57 |
| edakiri | though this channel is more relevant, i think | 20:57 |
| charlie-tca | I don't really know anything about suspend and hibernate, unfortunately. Please be patient, there are many people here that may know. | 20:57 |
| charlie-tca | What version of xubuntu are you using/ | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca | ? | 20:58 |
| edakiri | 10.04 : LL | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca | check if power manager is installed - apt-cache policy xfce4-power-manager | 20:59 |
| charlie-tca | also, do you have gnome-power-manager installed? If so, it may be a conflict | 20:59 |
| edakiri | xfce4-power-manager is installed and gnome-power-manager not. | 21:04 |
| mr_pouit | which version? | 21:04 |
| edakiri | 0.8.4.2-1ubuntu5 | 21:05 |
| edakiri | I have acpi-support and pm-utils installed. Could that be a conflict? | 21:06 |
| mr_pouit | might be a permission problem, with consolekit | 21:07 |
