[04:07] no audio with HDMI. should i try upgrade alsa or upgrade my kernel? thanks! [08:33] Hello [08:33] I can't find instructions to install xubuntu 10.4 from SD card on a eeepc 1000HA, anyone have a link? [08:34] from sd card? [08:34] Yes, I have no USB card, my plan is to DL the iso on my laptop, mount the ISO on the SD card, then install from that [08:34] I've done it before, just don't remember how :| [08:35] Not sure if I just dragged the ISO over, or mounted it, or have done something : | [08:35] !install | maybe something here [08:35] maybe something here: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [08:36] http://tinyurl.com/3exghs [08:36] :) [08:36] Thank you, [08:36] Would the comp detect the SD card as USB? [08:38] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OnNFSDriveWithLocalBoot [08:38] Not sure if this is it : | [08:40] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-xubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/ [08:44] how do i uninstall xubuntu with a grub and dual boot if i can not get into xubuntu? [08:48] Fuuu [09:07] Woot, think I got it [09:08] I got unetbootin, allowed it to exec as a program, now it's getting the xubuntu iso for me and should write it on the SD card [09:08] I think [10:21] how to save simple shell output in bash: GETME=$( df -h ); echo $GETME <-- s\thing like this? [10:22] echo $getme > file [10:24] Sysi: you did not find my question stupid. Sorry about stupid question, it actually works like that. [10:26] easy solution doesn't mean question is stupid [10:34] can anyone tell me that grub 1.98 is grub 2 or not [10:34] it is [10:35] thanks [10:45] hi i am zaib, i have install xubuntu on 60 GB of 80 GB hard disk and left 20 GB for Windows xp ,now i want to install xp but i am afraid that after i install xp on the spared 20 GB i wont be able to boot xubuntu ,can some one tell me how to dual boot ! [10:46] installing windows second means you will have to reinstall grub - this link should tell how [10:46] !grub2 [10:46] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10. For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [10:47] i have grub 2 , tell me what to do after installing xp [10:48] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202 [10:55] i have a alternate cd ,can i install Grub 2 from it after installin xp [10:56] hmm, if you know how to use it [10:57] you need to get to menu of it, and skip everything else but installing grub [10:57] and i'm not sure if it works [10:59] to enter the main menu in which all the installation steps are i have to ? [11:01] iirc there is some button for "last screen" [11:06] should i try the alternate cd method or try to understand the live cd method ,as i also have a live cd but cant understand that method in the link you have given me [11:15] helooooooo Sysi [11:15] use gparted to see what /dev/sdXX is your partition [11:15] gparted ? [11:15] mount it with command behind link [11:16] menu → system → gparted [11:16] this is my second day with xubuntu or any linux [11:17] there no gparted in: menu → system → gparted [11:18] i am using xubuntu 10.04 [11:20] hmm, it maybe isn't there anymore by default [11:20] but you need to do it on that livedc [11:25] even if there gparted on the live cd , i dont know how to use it and if some thing goes wrong ,dont know anything [11:26] you just start it and watch in what partiton your xubuntu installation is [11:29] is this the gparted you are talking about http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/screenshots.php [11:32] yes [11:32] fdisk -l does the same but in terminal [11:41] now what i do , i have written fdisk -l in terminal and it is sayin something [11:42] it requires sudo as said in howto i linked [11:42] ya i have also writen sudo [11:43] i think it is saying 4 partition [11:43] are you on livecd? [11:43] no [11:45] i thought some practise will be helpfull [11:45] yeah, but you need to check those when using livecd [11:47] its is very complex for me i think i should try the alternate cd [11:48] and i have only 192 mb ram so the live cd will be very slow [11:48] i say again that i'm not sure if alternate method works, but you can try [11:50] ok thanks i will try the alternate cd methode and if does work than will install a fresh copy of xubuntu [11:55] thanks sysi for your time , i appreciate it very much :) [12:58] how are startup programs configured in xubuntu? [13:01] settings → session&startup; cron @reboot; sysv-rc-conf [15:15] Can I not has "full screen task switcher" (The Exposé on OS X) with xubuntu [15:16] I'm getting an Samsung N210 netbook and I want to have Linux but there is no proper full screen task switcher for Kubuntu, there is one for Ubuntu (Skippy).. Is there one for xubuntu [15:16] I'd really like to have xubuntu [15:18] only available with compiz, what ubuntu uses [15:18] kubuntu do has same kinda switcher [16:07] Sysi: I heard there was a program called "Skippy" that does it on Ubuntu [16:07] Compiz is eyecandy [16:09] you can get that with compiz, maybe skippy too [16:09] compiz has 80% of features you can get with gnome [16:10] I'd like to have Xubuntu but I cannot survive without a full screen task swithcer [16:10] you can use compiz with xubuntu [16:10] I can? [16:11] I thought it was a Gnome only thing [16:12] http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/12/09/xubuntu-compiz-pretty-pretty-xubuntu/ [16:12] tnx [16:12] linux = anything with everything [16:13] hi [16:14] skippy works with xfce, that would be better propably [16:14] i'll try that :) [16:20] how to enable scim in xubuntu lucid [16:20] I can configure it, auto start it, but it won't work [16:22] please anyone [16:22] ctrl + space does nothing [16:53] shit is funnier when written in white type as compared to black type [16:54] oops. wrong channel [16:54] !language | juxindawoods [16:54] juxindawoods: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [16:55] take this for example: http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Suddenly,_Raccoons [18:12] Hi, does someone know why the brightnesssettings dont work with ubuntu xfce? (I'm using ubuntu10.04 with xfce at an eeepc 1101ha) [18:15] the hotkeys? [18:16] nothing... The indicator says im reducing the brightness, but nothing happens [18:16] i only works when the xserver is not running [18:18] I don't get it. I'm using Fn+F5/F6 to change the brightness. It works until I start the xserver [18:25] does no one have a clue? [19:21] hello all [19:21] prepare for questions from a linux idiot [19:21] here goes [19:23] i recently decided to install xubuntu on an old laptop because ubuntu was too heavy for it, the machine is a pIII 1ghz, 256 mb ram, with an (ugh) trident gfx chip. xbuntu installd fine, took a fw hours to run the update manager, hen shut it down late last night [19:24] this morning when i turn the machine on, it posts, boots, gives me the keyring login, then goes blank [19:24] the screensaver will run after a while, but when it goes off, nothing, blank screen [19:25] if i bring up the logout screen and log back into the main account, i can get the desktop background to show, but no UI [19:31] ah very good, an active helpful channel... [19:32] irc isn't really online, it just looks like it would be [19:32] !panels [19:32] 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/ [19:32] Kungfood: might just be that your panels disappeared :) [19:33] ill try that thx [19:34] ha, yup, got it back thx much [19:34] great [19:34] though my desktop is now missing [19:34] lol this is making it tough for me to try and learn linux when i cant get a distro to run well\ [19:35] 256MB isn't much for modern OS [19:35] thats why i went with xubuntu, was reading that it would run just fine with 128 [19:59] is it possible to make the window titlebars bigger? i have increased the window title font size, but the bar itself didn't scale [20:00] change theme? setings → window manager [20:01] they all seem to have approximately the same size title bars [20:10] ok here is another question, is it possible to disable the multiple desktops feature? [20:11] maybe workspace is the proper term [20:11] settings → workspaces [20:11] and you can remove switcher from panel [20:13] ah great, thanks! [20:15] np [20:19] if i register for the ubuntu forums will it stop asking me what 1+1 equals? [20:20] i keep telling it 11........... [22:07] quick question, when i do an ls -l | more(or less), it does not list entries colored by type...is there a way to get the |more to keep the colored list? [22:07] i know its stupid, but i dig the colored file types, makes it quick and easy [22:09] it is about less prefences (sherlock), idk if it can have color highlights [22:26] I was trying to make a connection ssh user@localhost and I had a error port 22 ? [22:27] localhost? [22:27] Sysi: yeah just to make a test ..bofore carry on with access over the internet [22:28] it works for me [22:28] Sysi: but for me not ..Do you know wha could be ? [22:29] do you have port 22 open in firewall and openssh-server installed? [22:29] Sysi: yeah.. [22:31] Sysi: did you run a test in your machine and worked then ? [22:31] i've just used ssh after installing it [22:32] i tried now and i could connect to localhost too [22:32] i have no firewall, NAT [22:33] Sysi: sorry I have firestarter but my friend don't and he'd the same problem ? [22:33] Sysi:I mean he had the same problem..I mean... [22:34] i don't know what your problem would be now [23:26] n8 [23:31] am trying to get xinerama working, as far as i can tell i have to add the +xinerama switch to the command to start X. Im not sure where to find that and the link i had found in the past that told me ive lost, ne suggestions? [23:37] from here - http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 - half way down is the xorg.conf based stuff twig_ [23:39] thanks [23:56] do you have exp with it wll? [23:56] I've written a few xorg.confs and it gives a good example for using two monitors at that link [23:57] im not complelty comp-illetrate but i am really green to linux so im havin a bit of trouble getting through some of this [23:59] xorg.conf is currently blank and when i run xrandr it doesnt show me my poss outputs it only says default [23:59] the Xorg.0.log in /var/log will list the card name and driver [23:59] id have to look the command up again but i ran a ls that showed all possible connections and both cards show up there [23:59] and you can make a basic xorg.conf with Xorg -configure to get you started
