|---|---|---|
| thepuppydog | howdy | 00:44 |
| thepuppydog | i got a problem running Xubuntu | 00:44 |
| thepuppydog | is there anyone in here who know anything about Xubuntu? | 00:46 |
| _Techie_ | thepuppydog, there are ALOT of people in here who know ALOT about Xubuntu | 00:47 |
| thepuppydog | awesome! | 00:47 |
| thepuppydog | so i downloaded the 10.4LTS | 00:47 |
| thepuppydog | installed it on 2 machines now | 00:47 |
| thepuppydog | and it works good | 00:47 |
| thepuppydog | all up untill i run an update | 00:48 |
| thepuppydog | after that... it will not run in normal graphics mode | 00:48 |
| thepuppydog | only the low graphics mode on the fail-safe boot option | 00:48 |
| thepuppydog | why is it doing that? | 00:48 |
| _Techie_ | thepuppydog, i suggest holding back packages related to xorg when updating then | 00:48 |
| thepuppydog | so its a known issue, eh? | 00:49 |
| thepuppydog | i mean | 00:49 |
| thepuppydog | it had done it on 2 compleatly differnt systems | 00:49 |
| _Techie_ | thepuppydog, i would think it would most likely be caused by driver updates... and i havent seen it before, but then again i dont lurk in here very often anymore | 00:49 |
| thepuppydog | and i have Mint 9 with the L Desktop running on them just fine | 00:49 |
| _Techie_ | can you pastebin some files for me? | 00:50 |

| thepuppydog | this is not the system in question | 00:51 |
| _Techie_ | umm, if i remember correctly the file i want is /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 00:51 |
| _Techie_ | thepuppydog, also please bear in mind that i do not use Xubuntu anymore and havent for quite a few months... i am only really here to help with what i can | 00:52 |

| _Techie_ | thepuppydog, im currently only using Windows 7, when my student loan gets processed and i buy my new computer, then i will start dabbling again | 00:54 |
| thepuppydog | i dont follow that logic in any why | 00:55 |
| thepuppydog | but hey | 00:55 |
| thepuppydog | at least you understand it | 00:55 |
| thepuppydog | :P | 00:55 |

| DeRoSvOs | Hey all, I upgraded to 10.04 LTS via Upgrade Manager... when I did that, my GUI stopped in Normal... it works in Recovery Mode. When I try to install from a fresh 10.04 DVD, it flashes the logo for a second, then black screen... | 16:36 |
| ron_o | hehe, linux is too cool. Need more swap space? Just add another partition on another drive... | 16:49 |
| ron_o | I'm thinking the reason why my suspend keeps acting abnormally is because not enough swap space. So much for smaller is better. | 16:49 |
| ron_o | DeRoSvOs, I couldn't solve your problem but obviously it has to do with xorg.conf .... I would make copies of my old /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see if other ones work for you. | 16:51 |
| ron_o | just make sure you have a text editor that works in your terminal so you can change it back if you need to. | 16:52 |
| TheSheep | ron_o: it's even better, you can just add a file for swap | 16:53 |
| TheSheep | ron_o: and since kernel 2.6 it's as fast as a partition | 16:53 |
| ron_o | TheSheep, yah.. but I hear you shouldn't... | 16:53 |
| TheSheep | ron_o: why not? | 16:53 |
| ron_o | does the file grow or is it static in size? | 16:53 |
| ron_o | I mean, it's better to use a partition. | 16:53 |
| TheSheep | static | 16:55 |
| TheSheep | ron_o: "better" how? | 16:55 |
| ron_o | I've always heard it. I never knew why. | 16:56 |
| TheSheep | that's how cargo cults are born | 16:56 |
| TheSheep | it used to be faster in older kernels | 16:56 |
| ron_o | I bet Windows dynamic swap is one reason there's some fragmentation on the drive. | 16:56 |
| ron_o | I barely use my swap anyway. | 16:57 |
| TheSheep | well, linux filesystems work completely differently and you use static size of swap anyways (but you can add more files if needed) | 16:57 |
| TheSheep | also, if you have several physical disks, it's good to have a swap for each of them | 16:58 |
| TheSheep | then the reading/writing can be spread and is faster overall | 16:58 |
| DeRoSvOs | What if the latest XUbuntu 10.04 DVD doesn't work on install? Get the logo, then a flash, then black screen? | 16:58 |
| DeRoSvOs | Off the DVD. | 16:58 |
| ron_o | DeRoSvOs, what video card do you have? | 16:59 |
| TheSheep | DeRoSvOs: did you check the disk? there is an option for this in the menu | 16:59 |
| ron_o | I have NVIDIA so I have to adjust things after an upgrade. | 16:59 |
| DeRoSvOs | Well, I can see the install, and when I hit enter to install, it just goes black. | 17:00 |
| DeRoSvOs | I don't see a "video" option per say. | 17:00 |
| ron_o | no.. he means "Check Disk" option. | 17:00 |
| ron_o | some burns are bad. | 17:00 |
| DeRoSvOs | Waiting on the lspci output. My buddy's on the phone with me, he's the one with the problem. ;) lol | 17:02 |
| ron_o | and you're typing what he's saying? | 17:03 |
| ron_o | actually, it sounds like his problem *is* your problem. | 17:03 |
| DeRoSvOs | ron_o: Yeah, typing what he's saying. | 17:10 |
| DeRoSvOs | ron_o: I told him he should consider another distro. I hate to do this. I hate to refer to another Distro. I'm a CentOS guy, myself. | 17:10 |
| DeRoSvOs | ron_o: Just, I know the problem is with Xorg... I just can't figure out WHY it's a problem. | 17:11 |
| DeRoSvOs | ron_o: Is the default conf in /etc/X11/ | 17:11 |
| DeRoSvOs | ? | 17:11 |
| ron_o | there are usually several xorg files as well as the default one on /etc/X11 | 17:11 |
| ron_o | in * | 17:11 |
| ron_o | CentOS, isn't that for servers? | 17:12 |
| DeRoSvOs | ron_o: No? You can run X on it and run it bare bones without services. | 17:14 |
| DeRoSvOs | ron_o: It's upstream is Redhat, that's all. Diff packaging managers. | 17:14 |
| ron_o | I just looked it up. But it's mainly for servers. | 17:14 |
| ron_o | I see. | 17:14 |
| ron_o | nothing is easier than Ubuntu. | 17:14 |
| ron_o | maybe Mint... | 17:15 |
| DeRoSvOs | ron_o: In tihs case, it's not really easy. ;) The people on #Ubuntu aren't even addressing me because I use Xubuntu. | 17:15 |
| ron_o | yah, I know. I don't even go there. | 17:15 |
| DeRoSvOs | They see the X and go, "Go to XUbuntu" | 17:15 |
| DeRoSvOs | lol | 17:15 |
| ron_o | yah. | 17:15 |
| DeRoSvOs | I never force my distro of choice on anyone, but, this time around... 2 x DVD burns... no success. | 17:15 |
| ron_o | I've run sevarel OSs in virtual environment, VBox, but it's not the same on a computer. All hardware always works in a virtual environ, from what I've ever noticed. | 17:17 |
| ross_ | Hello! I am having an audio issue. It works fine but then about 5 minutes into using an application it will suddenly cut out, but only for that application. | 18:55 |
| nicofs | every time i click on a link that opens in firefox, firefox switches to the workspace i am on. i don't want that - how can i make firefox stay in its workspace? | 22:46 |
| Sysi | window manager settings | 22:48 |
| Sysi | \tweaks | 22:48 |
| Sysi | IMO that default is stupid | 22:49 |

| nicofs | can someone help me set my cpu's speed? somehow governor and powernowd don't work... | 22:57 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: which governor? | 22:59 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: it's called governor plugin and is a button in my task bar... | 23:00 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: is the cpufreqd daemon required for it? | 23:01 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: is there a way for me to find out? to be honest i was quite desperate and installed quite a lot of progs to get it working... | 23:02 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: apart from reading up on it on the site you got the plugin from I wouldn't know | 23:03 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: cpufreqd is not installed... so i think it might not be required... | 23:03 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: with cpufreqd running I use a bash script to change mine | 23:04 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: is the plugin from ubuntu repo? | 23:04 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: if i install cpufreqd could you talk me through that? // i found it... "governor plugin for the Xfce4 panel" apparently it is from the ubuntu repo... | 23:05 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: there might be some docs for it in /usr/share/doc | 23:06 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: no... | 23:08 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: but i can live without that plugin... that bash script thing sounds interesting - i have never done that before so i might learn something... | 23:09 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: just pasting it now | 23:09 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/463205/ | 23:10 |
| well_laid_lawn | you need to add a line to /etc/init.d/rc.local I think it is called - not on a buntu box atm | 23:11 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: | 23:11 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: anywhere in init.d ? i have cpu0 and cpu1 - which should i choose? | 23:15 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: they both get changed at the same time | 23:15 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: there is a local file in init.d where you add that line | 23:16 |
| well_laid_lawn | a file named local nicofs | 23:16 |
| well_laid_lawn | * | 23:16 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: sorry, my mistake - i meant that "rc.local" file... i inserted the line right after the end of the comment... | 23:17 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: it needs to be on a line of its' own | 23:18 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: ok, did that - what irritated my is that this line is about cpu1 whereas the script is about cpu0... | 23:19 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: if you do one the other cpu changes at he same time | 23:19 |
| well_laid_lawn | can't just change one | 23:19 |
| well_laid_lawn | I've tried and tried and... | 23:20 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: right... i saved the code you pastebined as "cpu-scaling.bash" on my desktop... | 23:21 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: i need to make it executable, don't i? | 23:21 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: then right click, select properties and then the box making it executable | 23:21 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: ok... that box isn't there... | 23:22 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: I forgot to mention selecting the permissions tab | 23:23 |
| well_laid_lawn | ... | 23:23 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: i figured that :-) still no box... | 23:24 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: mybe wrong owner? | 23:24 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: do it from terminal chmod +x /path/to/cpu-scaling.bash | 23:24 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: done | 23:26 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: it told me my current speed... | 23:26 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: you haven't used the line you put in init.d 'cause you haven't rebooted - copy that line to terminal and put sudo in front | 23:27 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: hmm... that makes sense... i actually do understand (to a certain extent) what i am doing here... | 23:28 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: ok. in that line i had to swap cpu1 for cpu0 in order for it to work - i then got a menu to choose from. but i chose 1GHz and after that it said current speed 1,66 ... | 23:31 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: what is it normally pls? | 23:31 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: supported are 1000, 1330 and 1660. and normally it's at 1660 all the time... which is annoying... | 23:32 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: it sounds like the chmod didn't work... | 23:33 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: I forgot you need to be using the userspace governor | 23:34 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: it had an effect... before that i didn't have the menu... how do i do that... | 23:34 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors what is now available? | 23:35 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: "conservative ondemand userspace powersave performance" | 23:37 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: cpufreqd has a conf file in /etc where you can set the default governor | 23:38 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: and i should set that to userspace... all right... | 23:39 |
| well_laid_lawn | yep | 23:39 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: then sudo service cpufreqd restart afaik | 23:40 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: i can't find a specifig default governor... there are only profiles with entries for "policy"... change them to userspace? | 23:44 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: one min | 23:44 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: here there is a folder /etc/conf.d that has the cpufreq conf file in it that lets you select the governor | 23:46 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: my cpufreqd.conf was in /etc/ ... | 23:47 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: it is a seperate file without the .conf at the end | 23:48 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: i don't have /etc/conf.d | 23:49 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: then make sure the performance profiles use userspace as the governor | 23:50 |
| well_laid_lawn | in cpufreqd.conf | 23:50 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: done and service restarted... | 23:51 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: try the script | 23:51 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: no change... refuses to go below 1,66GHz | 23:52 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: look in /etc/default for a cpufreq file | 23:52 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: CPUFREQ_GOV_MODULES="auto" --> CPUFREQ_GOV_MODULES="userspace" ? | 23:54 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: yep | 23:54 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: changed that restarted service, no change... | 23:55 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: should i reboot, just in case...? | 23:56 |
| well_laid_lawn | nicofs: worth a shot | 23:56 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: i'm good at shooting...^^ | 23:56 |
| well_laid_lawn | heh | 23:56 |
| nicofs | well_laid_lawn: hmm... menu's gone... | 23:59 |
