[05:14] <lewis1711> iwconfig is giving my wlan0 address as power down
[05:31] <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.
[05:32] <mikubuntu> so i installed 9.10 instead, but still can't seem to activate the drivers, wont give me better than 800 x 600
[06:59] <xubuntu039> hola
[06:59] <xubuntu039> soy nuevo

[07:29] <Kuwanger> How do I launch the KDE configuration tool from the command line?
[07:30] <moetunes> it used to be kconfig but someone in #kubuntu might know do /j #kubuntu if you need to
[08:45] <sys32> Hello..
[09:24] <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.
[09:34] <bh3w> hello
[09:37] <Kuwanger> I wish this upgrade hadn't broken so much. :(
[10:23] <ablomen> mikubuntu, something like eject /dev/cdrom
[10:23] <ablomen> or the actual hd* or sd* device
[11:01] <mikubuntu> ablomen: so, i would check the exact hardware name, and make the command eject 'hardware'
[11:02] <mikubuntu> i should be able to go back and try that tonite
[11:03] <ablomen> yep should be easy

[14:48] <fazel> thanks
[15:18] <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.
[16:11] <fuyao> my top bar is gone, anyone here to help?
[16:12] <schlaftier> !panels | fuyao
[16:12] <fuyao> is this a tiny bug of xubuntu or something?
[16:13] <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.
[16:14] <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
[16:15] <schlaftier> Xubuntu saves the session everytime you reboot, so it should start the panel next time
[16:16] <fuyao> ok
[16:16] <fuyao> got it
[16:17] <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
[16:19] <schlaftier> fuyao: Pidgin seems to support QQ
[16:19] <fuyao> but my QQ account on Pidgin seems to be disables
[16:19] <fuyao> d
[16:20] <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
[16:21] <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
[16:22] <schlaftier> I see. Well, try asking in #ubuntu or #ubuntu-cn as there are probably more people familiar with QQ
[16:22] <fuyao> ok
[16:23] <fuyao> thank you for the help, bye bye
[17:05] <Pavitra> I seem to have borked an upgrade to 10.04.
[17:06] <Pavitra> I can see the GDM background image and cursor, but no window where I might give my username and password.
[17:07] <Pavitra> I tried googling, but either I can't think of the right terms or it's not a common enough problem.
[17:57] <Pavitra> Hi.
[17:58] <Sysi> press ctrl alt f6
[17:59] <Sysi> you get terminal where you can log in
[18:00] <Sysi> i think you should try 'sudo aptitude dist-upgrade'
[18:02] <Pavitra> Thank you, I'm trying that now.
[18:03] <Pavitra> ...and nothing happened.
[18:03] <Pavitra> My package manager seems to think everything is okay.
[18:04] <Pavitra> pastebin.org/356588
[18:05] <Kuwanger> Hmm...that's a weird bug. :/
[18:05] <Sysi> sudo service gdm restart
[18:07] <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)
[18:08] <Sysi> did it give error to terminal?
[18:09] <Sysi> you can get back there pressing same keys as before
[18:10] <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"
[18:11] <Pavitra> should I pastebin the whole thing?
[18:12] <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] <Pavitra> yeah
[18:12] <Takeasy> i tried 10.10
[18:13] <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.
[18:14] <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
[18:15] <Takeasy> um.......i use xubuntu because of my laptop configuration
[18:15] <Pavitra> oh
[18:15] <Sysi> xfce ♥
[18:16] <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
[18:17] <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
[18:18] <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
[18:19] <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.....
[18:20] <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
[18:22] <Takeasy> any suggestion?
[18:32] <Pavitra> sorry.
[18:32] <Pavitra> No idea.
[18:32] <Takeasy> ok
[18:33] <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
[18:34] <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
[18:35] <pupuser25f294> it just sits like a shit after the log in screen
[18:35] <knome> !language | pupuser25f294
[18:35] <pupuser25f294> anyone know of this issue?
[18:36] <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.
[18:37] <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
[18:38] <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
[18:39] <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?
[18:40] <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
[18:41] <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?
[18:42] <knome> pupuser25f294, yes. as i said, it's not a xubuntu-specific issue
[18:42] <pupuser25f294> ok
[18:42] <pupuser25f294> thanks
[18:45] <slow-motion> hi
[21:20] <dimkin> hello!
[21:20] <dimkin> where i can find boot editing tool in xubuntu ?
[21:20] <dimkin> grub editor or something
[21:22] <knome> dimkin, see /etc/default/grub
[21:24] <dimkin> ok, 10x
[21:41] <Pavitra> Well, this is... interesting. GDM is starting up on tty1 instead of tty7. Is that normal for 10.04?
[21:56] <Pavitra> Hi.
[22:12] <pc104> hi everyone
[22:13] <pc104> is there anyone can tell me which is better xubuntu or lubuntu?
[22:13] <mr_pouit> …
[22:13] <gnomefreak> n/win 10
[22:14] <bazhang> pc
[22:14] <bazhang> ah he quit
[22:14] <pc104> hi
[22:15] <pc104> hi everyone
[22:15] <bazhang> pc104, there is no best. use what works for you
[22:17] <pc104> thanks bazhang.. actually i'm working as xubuntu..i need to improve it esp. when using twinkle
[22:18] <pc104> is there anyone using twinkle here?
[22:29] <yesitisjustme> network manager is not connecting to 3g broadband anyone know why?
[23:02] <Pavitra> This looks informative re: my can't-log-in problem: pastebin.org/357063
[23:18] <_Techie_> Pavitra, ill look at that and see if i can make anything of it
[23:20] <_Techie_> Pavitra, what version of Xubuntu are you using?
[23:22] <Pavitra> 10.04 iirc
[23:23] <Pavitra> I just discovered I get a different message if I run gdm from a root prompt instead of with sudo: pastebin.org/357091
[23:24] <_Techie_> hrmm, can i get you to drop back to a recovery console and use "sudo service gdm stop" "sudo service gdm start"
[23:25] <Pavitra> Is a recovery console different from just going alt-ctrl-f2 or so?
[23:26] <_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.
[23:27] <_Techie_> okay
[23:28] <_Techie_> can you please paste your xorg.log
[23:29] <_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
[23:31] <Pavitra> /var/log/Xorg.0.log right?
[23:32] <Pavitra> http://sprunge.us/IILR
[23:42] <_Techie_> just a wild stab here, update your kernel and re install the intel drivers if your using an intel video chipset
[23:44] <Pavitra> How would I do that?
[23:46] <_Techie_> im not 100% sure
[23:46] <_Techie_> and im gonna have to go very soon
[23:47] <_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
[23:48] <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
[23:49] <_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
[23:50] <Sysi> kernel is up-to date, reinstall it totally?
[23:51] <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
