| Gooseheaded | I've been trying to install Xubuntu on another computer for half an hour now, and teh installation simply stalls. | 01:46 |
| Gooseheaded | I'm transitioning form Windows to Xubuntu. Is there anything specific I should do... ? | 01:46 |
| Gooseheaded | Yes, I've taken a look at the forums, but I can't seem to find a fit solution to my problem. | 01:47 |
| Gooseheaded | Is there a help channel or somethign similar I can go to... ? | 01:52 |

| Gooseheaded | ...anyone around? | 02:49 |
| well_laid_lawn | it's quiet time in here mostly at this time of day... | 02:56 |
| well_laid_lawn | but ask away :] | 02:56 |
| Gooseheaded | Well | 02:58 |
| Gooseheaded | I've been trying to install Xubuntu on another computer for half an hour now, and the installation simply stalls. | 02:58 |
| Gooseheaded | I've looked around the forums, but I haven't found a solution yet. | 02:59 |
| well_laid_lawn | any errors mentioned at all? | 02:59 |
| Gooseheaded | Nope. | 02:59 |
| Gooseheaded | After the "7 stesp" (keyboard, location, username, etc) | 02:59 |
| Gooseheaded | It just shows me the xubuntu logo | 02:59 |
| Gooseheaded | And after a minute, I get a black screen. | 02:59 |
| Gooseheaded | :/ | 02:59 |
| Gooseheaded | The computer has Windows XP, but I'm going to overwrite it. | 03:00 |
| well_laid_lawn | done the md5 check from the cd menu? | 03:00 |
| well_laid_lawn | bad cd burns do that sort of thing | 03:00 |
| Gooseheaded | Alright, I don't actually knwo hwo to do that. | 03:01 |
| Gooseheaded | I'm not an absolute newbie when it comes to software. I know 'how' to do stuff, but I don't knwo what. | 03:01 |
| Gooseheaded | So, how do I check that? | 03:01 |
| Gooseheaded | know* | 03:01 |
| Gooseheaded | Is it the "main menu option", "Check for disc errors" ? | 03:02 |
| Gooseheaded | (Sounds a bit obvious, but, I don't want to lose any more time) | 03:02 |
| well_laid_lawn | yep | 03:03 |
| Gooseheaded | Alright. Letting it run. | 03:04 |
| Gooseheaded | So why do -you- use xubuntu? I'm a "loyal" Windows user, just because I'm a gamer. | 03:04 |
| well_laid_lawn | I like how it looks and it is very configurable - I right click the desktop to open the menu | 03:04 |
| Gooseheaded | I'll have to admit, I've always loved the look of some unix-based OSs | 03:06 |
| Gooseheaded | especially Fedora. Fedora is gorgeous. | 03:06 |
| Gooseheaded | A bit too complex for me, though. :P | 03:06 |
| well_laid_lawn | fedora is pretty bloated | 03:07 |
| Gooseheaded | Ah, finally. "installing system" window. Sweet. | 03:08 |
| Gooseheaded | And, well, according to some ofm y friends, Fedora is really powerful | 03:08 |
| Gooseheaded | Hard to use, but very customizable. | 03:08 |
| Gooseheaded | I wouldn't know. :P | 03:08 |
| Gooseheaded | I'm just going to install xubuntu, install mysql, php, torrentflux, and what not... | 03:09 |
| Gooseheaded | Then leave the computer turned on for the rest of eternity, with no mouse, keyboard, or monitor | 03:09 |
| well_laid_lawn | xfce4 comes with it's own compositor for some eyecandy stuff :] | 03:10 |
| well_laid_lawn | o k | 03:10 |
| Gooseheaded | :] | 03:18 |
| Gooseheaded | There's an effect that, when you drag windows around, they look like jelly-ish. They wobble around. Any iddea of what that 'plugin' or 'effect' is called? | 03:18 |
| well_laid_lawn | that's compiz's wobbly windows - a seperate window manager | 03:19 |
| well_laid_lawn | it's easy enough to use | 03:19 |

| Gooseheaded | Yay, installed. | 04:05 |
| Gooseheaded | I'll set up a render farm in a year | 04:06 |
| Gooseheaded | For now, I'll just use it as local network storage. | 04:06 |
| Gooseheaded | Thank you, mister well_laid_lawn. | 04:06 |

| Ileden | Hi! I'm encountering a REALLY weird problem on my Acer Aspire one netbook. My screen is all mangled up, it's like the pixels have gone on a party or something. It affects fonts (same characters are mangled up in a same way) and window decroations - but icons seem ok. Reboot fixes. Never happened before with Ubuntu, now happened twice with Xubuntu. Both times after somewhat "intense" use. Questions: 1) Is there a way to try to fix this without rebooting, and thus l | 08:07 |
| Sysi | cutted after: and thus l | 08:08 |
| Ileden | Questions: 1) Is there a way to try to fix this without rebooting, and thus losing all open windows. On gnome, I could do "metacity --replace" to fix some prolems, is there a similar thing for xfce? 2) What on earth is causing this weirdness? :D | 08:09 |
| francisco | hi | 08:31 |
| francisco | can someone help me? I replaced my Ubuntu to Xubuntu but I don't know how to mark some files for executable now, I don't have any option =/ | 08:32 |
| Ileden | francisco: how did you do it in ubuntu? | 08:32 |
| Ileden | francisco: from terminal, it's always the same: chmod u+x <file> | 08:33 |
| francisco | Ileden: I pressed (propiedades), I'm spanish, like settings I think of that file, then I marked it as executable, but I don' have any mark now for executable >,< xD | 08:33 |

| well_laid_lawn | Ileden: I wonder if your vid caed is dying? - you can try xfwm --replace for xfce4 | 09:07 |
| well_laid_lawn | s/caed/card | 09:07 |
| well_laid_lawn | / | 09:07 |
| Sysi | in xubuntu that doesn't kill compiz | 09:07 |
| well_laid_lawn | didn't see compiz mentioned | 09:08 |
| well_laid_lawn | but won't that at least restart the wm? | 09:08 |
| Sysi | yup | 09:08 |
| well_laid_lawn | bbiab | 09:09 |
| Ileden | well_laid_lawn: it could be it's dying, but I doubt it, since symptoms appeared only after switching to xubuntu | 09:52 |
| Ileden | Sysi: no compiz in use | 09:52 |
| Ileden | s | 09:54 |
| Ileden | well_laid_lawn: xfwm4 --replace didn't help | 09:54 |
| well_laid_lawn | Ileden: is there a .xsession-errors file or similar? | 09:57 |
| Ileden | well_laid_lawn: yes | 09:58 |
| Ileden | well_laid_lawn: What should I look for there? | 09:59 |
| well_laid_lawn | Ileden: I have no idea - I've never encountered graphics playing up like that | 10:00 |
| Ileden | I'll try to get it into pastebin... | 10:01 |
| well_laid_lawn | Ileden: is there a new monitor - it might be refresh rates | 10:01 |
| Ileden | well_laid_lawn: Nope. Same attached lcd screen. | 10:02 |
| well_laid_lawn | k | 10:02 |
| Ileden | well_laid_lawn: and the problem only has appeared twice | 10:02 |
| well_laid_lawn | Ileden: that makes me think it's hardware - fan dying maybe..? | 10:03 |
| Ileden | well_laid_lawn: hmm, could be... I'll have to monitor the fan speeds | 10:06 |
| Ileden | well_laid_lawn: funny thing is, after the problem appears, it persists whether continuing "intense" use or not, until i reboot. | 10:06 |
| Ileden | well_laid_lawn: also, it wasn't *that* intense, that's why the quotes :) | 10:07 |
| well_laid_lawn | Ileden: the only way to see if it is that is to look :] | 10:07 |
| Ileden | here's .xsession-errors http://ubuntu.pastebin.org/450524 | 10:08 |
| well_laid_lawn | k | 10:12 |

| crazygir | hiya, so I'm upgrading my system and am at the dreaded update menu.lst step. I usually have problems with this if I don't pay attention and/or trust xubuntu too much, and then have to go fix the entries. The first thing I noticed in comparing the two versions is that the UUIDs are not the same for the old/new menu.lst entries | 15:24 |
| crazygir | thoughts? | 15:24 |
| TheSheep | crazygir: uuids change if you formatted the disks | 15:28 |
| crazygir | TheSheep: I haven't | 15:46 |
| crazygir | the updater is just wrong | 15:54 |

| charlie-tca | bug | 18:07 |
| charlie-tca | Not sure where it comes from, though | 18:07 |
| nexus6__ | well i just "sudo apt-get remove xfce4-volumed"... but that no a clean solution :( | 18:09 |
| charlie-tca | bug 607474 | 18:09 |
| charlie-tca | click the top line, Does this bug affect you? | 18:10 |
| nexus6__ | top line? | 18:10 |
| charlie-tca | Just click the pencil in the circle next to that and mark it yes | 18:10 |
| charlie-tca | https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607474 | 18:10 |
| charlie-tca | Well, not top line, I guess | 18:11 |
| charlie-tca | but above the "Affects Status Importance" line | 18:11 |
| nexus6__ | i dont have a yes option there ... | 18:21 |
| charlie-tca | When you click the yellow circle next to the "does this bug affect you?" line? | 18:23 |
| charlie-tca | Then add a comment that the bug affects you also | 18:23 |
| nexus6__ | it looks like i need to be registered | 18:35 |
| charlie-tca | Oh, yeah. You need to be registered. You need that anyway, so you can report bugs you find | 18:39 |
| nexus6__ | hmm i suppose i will switch back to windows xp... i am not so satisfied with xubuntu | 18:40 |
| charlie-tca | I see | 18:40 |
| nexus6__ | i need to think about it... | 18:41 |
| nexus6__ | could it be that the xubuntu wlan driver make my wlan slow? | 18:41 |
| charlie-tca | Not that I know of. Could be that it is trying ipv6 though | 18:44 |
| nexus6__ | some of my customer websites i am managing take incredible long for uploading files via the browser | 18:44 |
| nexus6__ | or some rendering in firefox | 18:45 |
| nexus6__ | could be a firefox issue though | 18:45 |

| maxwellian | Hi all, just upgraded to Xubuntu 10.04 and now I'm having trouble booting. | 22:21 |
| manbra | Are you ubootuing? | 22:24 |
| maxwellian | ubootuing...I don't know what that is, so I'd guess not? | 22:24 |
| manbra | Oh, I was kidding, sorry, I can't help : ( | 22:25 |
| * manbra stumbles around linux just as much | 22:25 | |
| Sysi | maxwellian: any more details? | 22:26 |
| maxwellian | Sysi: Sure, I just didn't want to flood this channel if no one was here. :) | 22:26 |
| maxwellian | I get to some kind of Xubuntu splash screen, and I'm given the option to "Continue to wait, press S to skip mounting, or M for manual recovery" | 22:27 |
| maxwellian | I think it's doing mountall at that time. | 22:27 |
| Sysi | how many partitions do you have? | 22:28 |
| maxwellian | But I've waited ten minutes and nothing happens. If I press S (to skip mounting) it just goes to a blank screen. If I press M (for manual recovery) it asks me to enter the root password (which doesn't exist). | 22:29 |
| maxwellian | Hmm, how do I figure out the partitions? | 22:29 |
| Sysi | do you have dualboot? | 22:29 |
| maxwellian | Sysi: Yes. | 22:29 |
| maxwellian | With Windows. | 22:30 |
| Sysi | hmm, you should maybe use livecd, if it's just fstab | 22:30 |
| maxwellian | What do you mean, if it's just fstab? If fstab is the problem? | 22:31 |
| Sysi | if there aren't more broken things | 22:33 |
| maxwellian | What would I do with the LiveCD? I know I can boot from it, but how will it help me fix the problem? | 22:34 |
| Sysi | mount your xubuntu-partition and fix fstab (where are mounted devices) | 22:34 |
| maxwellian | Sysi: How do I fix it? I don't know what's wrong with it, if anything. | 22:35 |
| maxwellian | Can I pastebin my fstab? | 22:35 |
| Sysi | that's what i'm talking about | 22:35 |
| maxwellian | Sysi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/474249/ | 22:38 |
| Sysi | maxwellian: from the broken xubuntu? | 22:38 |
| * maxwellian nods | 22:39 | |
| maxwellian | I just realize that I didn't mention that I'm able to boot with the previous kernel. That's how I'm here right now. | 22:41 |
| Sysi | so it isn't fstab | 22:41 |
| maxwellian | On the previous kernel I can press S (to skip mounting) and Xubuntu launches. | 22:41 |
| Sysi | hum, interesting | 22:41 |
| Sysi | could you pastebin 'sudo fdisk -l' | 22:42 |
| maxwellian | http://paste.ubuntu.com/474251/ | 22:43 |
| maxwellian | When I use the previous kernel and press S (to skip mounting) it gives a couple of errors: "Mounting none on /dev failed; no such device" | 22:45 |
| maxwellian | And "chroot cannot execute /etc/apparmor/initramfs: No such file or directory" | 22:45 |
| Sysi | replace UUID=numbers with /dev/sdaX | 22:46 |
| charlie-tca | Sysi: what about replacing /dev/hda1 with sda1 on line 12? | 22:48 |
| charlie-tca | or does it matter? | 22:48 |
| Sysi | charlie-tca: i think it's not needed, at least for fixing xubuntu :P | 22:48 |
| maxwellian | That's my Windows partition. I think it was sda1 at some point in the past, but I don't know for sure. | 22:49 |
| Sysi | charlie-tca: could it be something very other than fstab? | 22:49 |
| maxwellian | Sysi: How would I know which numbers to use for X in sdaX? | 22:49 |
| charlie-tca | I don't think so. The new kernels though care about what is in fstab. If LVM is used, UUID won't let it boot at all | 22:50 |
| Sysi | it's there on the abowe line | 22:50 |
| charlie-tca | I think you are on the right track, but I am learning too. | 22:50 |
| maxwellian | Not using LVM, for the record. | 22:51 |
| maxwellian | I'll try those renames in fstab. | 22:51 |
| maxwellian | Is there a known problem with using UIDs, or are we just trying this out? | 22:53 |
| maxwellian | UUIDs, rather. | 22:53 |
| charlie-tca | I sure would. Sysi knows these things better than me | 22:53 |
| Sysi | i've heard about uuids changing in update | 22:53 |
| maxwellian | It seems weird that the older kernel can figure it out though? | 22:54 |
| Sysi | that's why i'm not sure it's fstab | 22:55 |
| Sysi | IDK how uuids work | 22:55 |
| Sysi | but that change won't break anything | 22:57 |
| maxwellian | Is it a problem that the last line in my fstab doesn't actually seem to do anything? I.e., /mnt/ntfs does not exist. | 23:01 |
| Sysi | does it boot to windows? | 23:02 |
| maxwellian | Yes. | 23:03 |
| maxwellian | Well, at least it came out of hibernation for Windows. | 23:03 |
| maxwellian | Windows had been hibernated, but I assume it would work if it weren't. | 23:04 |
| Sysi | folders can be created automatically | 23:05 |
| maxwellian | I understand that, but assuming that during boot the system tries to mount everything in my fstab, it seems that it didn't succeed. | 23:06 |
| Sysi | i also don't actually know how other broken entries affect others | 23:09 |
