| mikubuntu | help!!! i have been having so much problems with the nvidia drivers on my friends install of 10.04, seemingly from problems between nouveau and lcd monitor. so i just brought her a HUGE crt, but i still can't get the driver to work properly, only giving me 800 x 600 resolution. | 05:31 |
| mikubuntu | so i installed 9.10 instead, but still can't seem to activate the drivers, wont give me better than 800 x 600 | 05:32 |

| Kuwanger | How do I launch the KDE configuration tool from the command line? | 07:29 |

| sys32 | Hello.. | 08:45 |
| mikubuntu | i installed 10.04 on my friends machine, which has a cd drive top, and a dvd drive below. the manual eject button on the dvd drive seems to be broken, and there is no pinhole to open it with a paper clip. how would i set a panel launch command to open that drive? on my laptop i set one just with the command 'eject' which works to open my singular cd/dvd drive, and it works great. | 09:24 |
| bh3w | hello | 09:34 |
| Kuwanger | I wish this upgrade hadn't broken so much. :( | 09:37 |
| ablomen | mikubuntu, something like eject /dev/cdrom | 10:23 |
| ablomen | or the actual hd* or sd* device | 10:23 |
| mikubuntu | ablomen: so, i would check the exact hardware name, and make the command eject 'hardware' | 11:01 |
| mikubuntu | i should be able to go back and try that tonite | 11:02 |
| ablomen | yep should be easy | 11:03 |

| fazel | anybody who can help me | 14:42 |
| knome | !ask | fazel | 14:42 |
| ubottu | fazel: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 14:42 |
| bazhang | fazel, ask a question | 14:42 |
| fazel | i have a problem wiht HDMI cable | 14:43 |
| fazel | can't display with HDMI cable | 14:44 |
| fazel | but it gives display with normal analog cable | 14:44 |
| fazel | did you get me | 14:44 |
| fazel | hello | 14:46 |
| knome | !patience | 14:48 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 14:48 |
| fazel | thanks | 14:48 |
| Kuwanger | For some reason, on first startup, my system reports about 49MB free with "free -m" (the right column of the "-/+ buffers/cache:" line). If I restart the system, my system reports about 160MB free with "free -m". It's like the first startup is leaking ~110MB. | 15:18 |

| ubottu | fuyao: Did your panels disappear? Press alt+f2 and run: xfce4-panel | See also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels | Want to theme your panels? See http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/howto-set-a-background-image-for-your-panel/ | 16:12 |
| fuyao | is this a tiny bug of xubuntu or something? | 16:12 |
| schlaftier | fuyao: Not a bug AFAIK. It might be that the panel crashed, for whatever reason, and was not automatically restarted. Xubuntu only loads the panel on startup when it was running earlier. | 16:13 |
| fuyao | i remember the last time i start xubuntu the panel are running, along with my cairo bar | 16:14 |
| fuyao | nah w/e, is running now | 16:14 |
| schlaftier | Xubuntu saves the session everytime you reboot, so it should start the panel next time | 16:15 |
| fuyao | ok | 16:16 |
| fuyao | got it | 16:16 |
| fuyao | and one more thing, how do i install the chinese software QQ on xubuntu, it's an instant massage software, i tried Eva, but it load for 10 seconds and then quits | 16:17 |
| schlaftier | fuyao: Pidgin seems to support QQ | 16:19 |
| fuyao | but my QQ account on Pidgin seems to be disables | 16:19 |
| fuyao | d | 16:19 |
| schlaftier | What happens when you enable it? | 16:20 |
| fuyao | cant | 16:20 |
| schlaftier | What happens when you try? | 16:20 |
| fuyao | Tercent disabled my QQ account whenever i go on QQ in pidgin | 16:20 |
| fuyao | is there anyway to use wine to install the windows version of QQ on xubuntu? | 16:21 |
| schlaftier | I have no idea what Tercent is... | 16:21 |
| fuyao | Tercent is the company that made QQ | 16:21 |
| fuyao | all QQ account are controled by them | 16:21 |
| schlaftier | I see. Well, try asking in #ubuntu or #ubuntu-cn as there are probably more people familiar with QQ | 16:22 |
| fuyao | ok | 16:22 |
| fuyao | thank you for the help, bye bye | 16:23 |

| Pavitra | I seem to have borked an upgrade to 10.04. | 17:05 |
| Pavitra | I can see the GDM background image and cursor, but no window where I might give my username and password. | 17:06 |
| Pavitra | I tried googling, but either I can't think of the right terms or it's not a common enough problem. | 17:07 |
| Pavitra | Hi. | 17:57 |
| Sysi | press ctrl alt f6 | 17:58 |
| Sysi | you get terminal where you can log in | 17:59 |
| Sysi | i think you should try 'sudo aptitude dist-upgrade' | 18:00 |
| Pavitra | Thank you, I'm trying that now. | 18:02 |
| Pavitra | ...and nothing happened. | 18:03 |
| Pavitra | My package manager seems to think everything is okay. | 18:03 |
| Pavitra | pastebin.org/356588 | 18:04 |
| Kuwanger | Hmm...that's a weird bug. :/ | 18:05 |
| Sysi | sudo service gdm restart | 18:05 |
| Pavitra | It comes back up the same as it was before. | 18:07 |
| Sysi | sudo aptitude --purge reinstall gdm | 18:07 |
| Pavitra | (first stopping gdm) | 18:07 |
| Sysi | did it give error to terminal? | 18:08 |
| Sysi | you can get back there pressing same keys as before | 18:09 |
| Pavitra | It's the same as before, and I didn't get anything that looks like an error to the terminal. | 18:10 |
| Pavitra | The only interesting-looking message was: "Processing triggers for ureadahead ... | 18:10 |
| Pavitra | ureadahead will be reprofiled on next reboot" | 18:10 |
| Pavitra | should I pastebin the whole thing? | 18:11 |
| Takeasy | hi | 18:12 |
| Takeasy | this is my first time to use linux OS | 18:12 |
| Sysi | hmm, it seems that your system think it's all right | 18:12 |
| Sysi | !hi | Takeasy | 18:12 |
| ubottu | Takeasy: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 18:12 |
| Pavitra | yeah | 18:12 |
| Takeasy | i tried 10.10 | 18:12 |
| Takeasy | xubuntu | 18:13 |
| Takeasy | the one without installation | 18:13 |
| Takeasy | but i got some problem | 18:13 |
| Sysi | 10.10 isn't gonna be stable for a while | 18:13 |
| Pavitra | Are you sure? I thought 10.10 wouldn't be released until October at the earliest. | 18:13 |
| Sysi | help for alpha/beta/rc is in #ubuntu+1 | 18:14 |
| Takeasy | oic, so i uninstalled it | 18:14 |
| Takeasy | i tried to install 10.04 | 18:14 |
| Pavitra | You probably want 10.04. And, if this is your first time with a Linux OS, you probably want Ubuntu proper, rather than one of the variants like Xubuntu. | 18:14 |
| Takeasy | not install, i use 10.04 | 18:14 |
| Takeasy | um.......i use xubuntu because of my laptop configuration | 18:15 |
| Pavitra | oh | 18:15 |
| Sysi | xfce ♥ | 18:15 |
| Takeasy | my laptop | 18:16 |
| Takeasy | http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-53588.html | 18:16 |
| Takeasy | with only 256 MB ram | 18:16 |
| Takeasy | while i tried to use 10.04 without installation, i can see the xubuntu logo | 18:17 |
| Takeasy | after that, the screen went black | 18:17 |
| Takeasy | and the computer has no response | 18:18 |
| Takeasy | what is the problem? | 18:18 |
| Sysi | live may not work with that little ram | 18:18 |
| Takeasy | the situation is same after i install it | 18:18 |
| Sysi | that intel graphics might not work properly | 18:19 |
| Takeasy | is it recommend to install it in windows? | 18:19 |
| Sysi | afaik not | 18:19 |
| Takeasy | um..... | 18:19 |
| Sysi | it should work, but it's different than norman installation | 18:20 |
| Sysi | *normal | 18:20 |
| Takeasy | yes, the logo of ubuntu in 10.04 is less color than that at 10.10 | 18:20 |
| Takeasy | any suggestion? | 18:22 |
| Pavitra | sorry. | 18:32 |
| Pavitra | No idea. | 18:32 |
| Takeasy | ok | 18:32 |
| Takeasy | while i use 10.10, there are two apps keep poping up | 18:33 |
| knome | Takeasy, there isn't bug reporting for 10.10 yet, since it's a development release | 18:33 |
| pupuser25f294 | ok | 18:33 |
| Pavitra | Hi. | 18:34 |
| Takeasy | knome, alright | 18:34 |
| knome | Takeasy, 256 ram is low even when system is installed | 18:34 |
| pupuser25f294 | so i just DL Xubuntu, and it worked awesome out of the box... but when i ran the update, the system wont load up X any more | 18:34 |
| pupuser25f294 | it just sits like a shit after the log in screen | 18:35 |
| knome | !language | pupuser25f294 | 18:35 |
| ubottu | pupuser25f294: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 18:35 |
| pupuser25f294 | anyone know of this issue? | 18:35 |
| Takeasy | knome, actually, my graphic takes few MB away | 18:36 |
| pupuser25f294 | it has done this now on 2 machines of radicly different setups | 18:36 |
| knome | Takeasy, that definitely won't help. | 18:36 |
| pupuser25f294 | well i am just saying it is not a machine issue | 18:37 |
| Takeasy | 245MB is not enough, right? | 18:37 |
| pupuser25f294 | its a broken packet | 18:37 |
| pupuser25f294 | takeasy, are you talking to me? | 18:37 |
| knome | pupuser25f294, which xubuntu version | 18:37 |
| pupuser25f294 | 10.04 LTS | 18:37 |
| knome | Takeasy, tbh, it's really quite a little. | 18:38 |
| knome | -a | 18:38 |
| Takeasy | knome, yes i know, thats why i change to linux OS | 18:38 |
| knome | Takeasy, please remember that even xubuntu 10.04 is from 2010, so it definitely has more features than the old OS'es, like windows 95, which work well with 256 RAM | 18:39 |
| knome | pupuser25f294, have you tried booting with the old kernel? | 18:39 |
| pupuser25f294 | yes | 18:40 |
| pupuser25f294 | yes i hae | 18:40 |
| pupuser25f294 | have | 18:40 |
| Sysi | Takeasy: you could try lubuntu or crunchbang | 18:40 |
| knome | pupuser25f294, 10.04 works when installed and not updated though? | 18:40 |
| Takeasy | lubuntu | 18:40 |
| pupuser25f294 | yeah | 18:40 |
| pupuser25f294 | but there are like 155 updates for me to systematicly isolate | 18:41 |
| knome | pupuser25f294, i'd suggest you to 1) search if there is known problems with your card + lucid 2) ask #ubuntu, since this isn't a xubuntu specific issue 3) file a bug. | 18:41 |
| pupuser25f294 | i was hoping this issue was documented | 18:41 |
| pupuser25f294 | ok | 18:41 |
| knome | pupuser25f294, 2) because somebody there might know since there's clearly more people helping people out | 18:41 |
| pupuser25f294 | try the #ubuntu channel? | 18:41 |
| knome | pupuser25f294, yes. as i said, it's not a xubuntu-specific issue | 18:42 |
| pupuser25f294 | ok | 18:42 |
| pupuser25f294 | thanks | 18:42 |

| Pavitra | This looks informative re: my can't-log-in problem: pastebin.org/357063 | 23:02 |
| _Techie_ | Pavitra, ill look at that and see if i can make anything of it | 23:18 |
| _Techie_ | Pavitra, what version of Xubuntu are you using? | 23:20 |
| Pavitra | 10.04 iirc | 23:22 |
| Pavitra | I just discovered I get a different message if I run gdm from a root prompt instead of with sudo: pastebin.org/357091 | 23:23 |
| _Techie_ | hrmm, can i get you to drop back to a recovery console and use "sudo service gdm stop" "sudo service gdm start" | 23:24 |
| Pavitra | Is a recovery console different from just going alt-ctrl-f2 or so? | 23:25 |
| _Techie_ | you should be able to get away with doing it in a TTY | 23:26 |
| Pavitra | In that case, I've tried that and it didn't have any effect. | 23:26 |
| _Techie_ | okay | 23:27 |
| _Techie_ | can you please paste your xorg.log | 23:28 |
| _Techie_ | it will be located in /var/log/ | 23:29 |
| Pavitra | just a minute, I need to figure out how to get this into pastebin | 23:29 |
| Pavitra | working from console mode | 23:29 |
| _Techie_ | you can use <command> | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us | 23:29 |
| Pavitra | /var/log/Xorg.0.log right? | 23:31 |
| Pavitra | http://sprunge.us/IILR | 23:32 |
| _Techie_ | just a wild stab here, update your kernel and re install the intel drivers if your using an intel video chipset | 23:42 |
| Pavitra | How would I do that? | 23:44 |
| _Techie_ | im not 100% sure | 23:46 |
| _Techie_ | and im gonna have to go very soon | 23:46 |
| _Techie_ | Sysi, you around... i need you to take over when i leave | 23:47 |
| Pavitra | all right, I'll poke around in aptitude a bit | 23:47 |
| Sysi | _Techie_: i'm going to bed soon also, and i tried earlier | 23:48 |
| _Techie_ | Sysi, i discovered the reason and a possible fix | 23:48 |
| _Techie_ | his seat problem is only a symptom, not the main error | 23:48 |
| _Techie_ | i pulled this relevant information from his xorg.lol http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Yg4fN6u8 | 23:49 |
| _Techie_ | log* | 23:49 |
| Sysi | i'll see | 23:49 |
| _Techie_ | i suggest to update kernel, re install the intel video driver and packages related to xorg | 23:49 |
| Sysi | kernel is up-to date, reinstall it totally? | 23:50 |
| Pavitra | I don't know. | 23:51 |
| _Techie_ | Sysi, if its up to date, then dont bother with the kernel | 23:51 |
| Sysi | i wonder if that could be one of many problems with older intels | 23:51 |
| Sysi | 8xx | 23:51 |
| _Techie_ | but theres definitely a problem with his xorg and possibly the intel driver | 23:51 |
| Sysi | yup | 23:51 |
