| xubuntu888 | while i'm waiting for xu to install... anyone know a repo i could plug in with nvidia's latest drivers | 02:25 |
|---|---|---|
| xubuntu888 | could put them in manually, but a managed package would be nice | 02:26 |
| Balsaq | xubuntu 10.04 wont update and crashes...just stops. forced me to power off and then the computer would not run after that...just booted to the same crashed update screen. | 05:40 |
| Balsaq | had to delete the partiton and reinstall...happened again, tried ubuntu 10.04 same. | 05:41 |
| sb | hi | 10:04 |
| sb | you people are homosexuals | 10:05 |
| sb | hahaha | 10:05 |
| sb | lol | 10:05 |
| sb | i am stupid | 10:05 |
| Sysi | do you think he was looking for company? | 10:06 |
| Balsaq | yo sysi | 10:07 |
| Sysi | hi Balsaq | 10:08 |
| Sysi | one other guy talked also about that update failing | 10:08 |
| Sysi | you used update-manager? | 10:08 |
| Balsaq | yeah i have since read a lot of things...i think i know wut happened | 10:09 |
| Balsaq | i did update mgr and sudo | 10:09 |
| Balsaq | it crashed both ways | 10:09 |
| Balsaq | its a mem leak issue | 10:09 |
| Balsaq | my system monitor peaks | 10:09 |
| Balsaq | they messed up | 10:09 |
| Balsaq | all the 512 ram aint enough | 10:10 |
| Balsaq | yet in my 1 gig machines and my new 6 gig machine...buntu 10004 runs good | 10:10 |
| Balsaq | 10.04 i mean | 10:10 |
| Balsaq | got a feelin if i go pop another half gig in there my problem is solved....or if i increase my swap partition. | 10:11 |
| Balsaq | many others in blogs all over are compaing about how it slows to a crawl and then stops | 10:12 |
| Balsaq | but i finally found an article published in april about this memory leak issue | 10:12 |
| Balsaq | i think they put out the new distro before it was fixed | 10:13 |
| Balsaq | but i could be wrong who knows | 10:14 |
| Balsaq | just not inthe mood to deal wit hit right now, all my other computers are running fine | 10:16 |
| Balsaq | Sysi, do u think my best guess has any chance of being correct? | 10:19 |
| Balsaq | knowing i am a certified non tech? | 10:19 |
| Sysi | it could well be that memory leakage | 10:20 |
| Balsaq | and honestly i dont even know what that means....leak? or does it just mean its a mem hog? | 10:20 |
| Balsaq | even on my 1 gig machine it gets slow sometimes all the sudden,,,then it runs fast again. | 10:21 |
| Sysi | it uses memory and don't give up of it | 10:22 |
| Sysi | it should free it after usage, when not needed anymore | 10:22 |
| Balsaq | oh i see | 10:22 |
| Balsaq | they knew about it in april | 10:24 |
| Balsaq | acording to what ive read | 10:25 |
| Sysi | i used lucid with 512 succesfully.. i could test what update had done that | 10:26 |
| Sysi | maybe it's because i use aptitude | 10:26 |
| Sysi | always succesfull updating after install | 10:26 |
| Balsaq | isnt that the same as sudo apt-get update? | 10:27 |
| Balsaq | cos i tried that | 10:27 |
| Sysi | almost, hum | 10:28 |
| Balsaq | well maybe aptitude is better? | 10:28 |
| Balsaq | expalin that way? | 10:28 |
| Balsaq | explain* | 10:28 |
| Sysi | i've also used apt-get, can't remember exactly | 10:30 |
| Sysi | atm i have 10.10 in low-end box | 10:31 |
| Balsaq | hmm | 10:31 |
| Balsaq | how is 1010 | 10:31 |
| Sysi | alpha ofc unstable, new software and a bit faster than lucid | 10:32 |
| Balsaq | hmmm i would even be ok with unstable if it would run on 512 and update | 10:34 |
| Balsaq | how much ram do u have? | 10:34 |
| Sysi | 512 in that | 10:34 |
| Balsaq | ur running 512? | 10:35 |
| Sysi | had to do netinstall, any other didn't boot from usb | 10:35 |
| Balsaq | i was thinking maybe 101 doesnt have the mem leak thing | 10:35 |
| Balsaq | 10.10* | 10:35 |
| Balsaq | when you say unstable what happened that made you say unstable..crashes? | 10:36 |
| Sysi | rhythmbox didn't work | 10:37 |
| Balsaq | does it work now? | 10:37 |
| Sysi | there's a bug that causes xfce4-terminal to use 100% cpu | 10:37 |
| Balsaq | ahhh same thing i saw in 1004 | 10:37 |
| Balsaq | i saw it peakin like that | 10:37 |
| Balsaq | i mean we put a man on the moon in 1960? why cant they build a distro without that? | 10:38 |
| Balsaq | think about that? | 10:38 |
| Balsaq | see during my update it started out ok...then that black and white terminal style screen appears on its own and BAM it peaks | 10:40 |
| Balsaq | soon after that is stops | 10:40 |
| Balsaq | so i still tried the terminal update method but it still stopped after awhile | 10:40 |
| slow-motion | hi | 10:55 |
| UbuXubu | Sysi, are you still on | 11:03 |
| Sysi | mostly present | 11:04 |
| UbuXubu | its me i just decided to run downstairs to the lab and jump on my 1 gig dedicated ubuntu 10.04 machine and install xchat | 11:05 |
| UbuXubu | the lil buggar with only 512 is next too me running another me test now | 11:06 |
| UbuXubu | says pass complete, no errors, press exit to exit....but still lokks like the test is running. either way keeps passing everything. | 11:07 |
| UbuXubu | pres esc to exit i meant... | 11:07 |
| UbuXubu | so i still think its just the 512 thing vs the cpu max bug thing or ram leak think | 11:08 |
| UbuXubu | cos this dedicated machine here,,,using the 10.04 is fine | 11:08 |
| UbuXubu | on 1 gig | 11:08 |
| UbuXubu | same 2.4 cpu | 11:08 |
| UbuXubu | but i added an extra half gig of ram awhile ago | 11:08 |
| UbuXubu | so i guess ill just have to use some other lightweight linux distro for this half gig machine next too me i guess...might be fun to try something new i guess. | 11:10 |
| UbuXubu | i saw lxde the other day, looks pretty good, basic but good and there was a lot of people in their chat room...maybe it will run good on half a gig. | 11:11 |
| UbuXubu | my update mgr says this one is all up to date...whew good. | 11:15 |
| UbuXubu | but when i use the fancy nvidia driver they told me to use...it made my desktop look funny, stretched? so i went back tot he gnome driver and my destop looks perfect? but videos dont play very clear? gotta love buntu! | 11:16 |
| UbuXubu | i must say if they ever really perfect buntu...this 10.04 looks really great, i used their desktop with a simple drinking glass on it and one drop of water suspened in mid air and it looks really professional! | 11:18 |
| UbuXubu | why cant the gnome drivers play online videos on full screen mode? | 11:20 |
| UbuXubu | is it rocket science? geez i have a 10 year old windows 2000 computer here that plays them perfect?......am i askin too much hehe....tired i guess. | 11:21 |
| Sysi | flash videos? | 11:22 |
| Sysi | flash don't like linux very much | 11:22 |
| Sysi | compiz messes something up causing problems | 11:23 |
| UbuXubu | i dont know what they are but i tried hulu vids...they look good until i put it in full screen mode | 11:23 |
| Sysi | flash | 11:23 |
| UbuXubu | im not even using compiz to my knowledge | 11:23 |
| UbuXubu | well idid install flash yes....can i try something else? | 11:24 |
| UbuXubu | when i went to youtube it wouldnt ever run unless i installed flash...should i have installed something else instead? | 11:25 |
| UbuXubu | i am game for all gnome drivers if they work! | 11:25 |
| Sysi | what an earth is gnome driver | 11:26 |
| Sysi | performace isn't very great with open drivers | 11:26 |
| knome | Sysi, think: gnome libraries, but that doesn't really relate much here | 11:26 |
| Sysi | closed drivers.. when you have problem, we can't help | 11:26 |
| Sysi | knome: i don't quite get it, but maybe i don't need to | 11:27 |
| UbuXubu | well, i mean when i installed it told me use a certain nvidia 96 driver, so i did bu tthe screen looked all stretched....so i went back tothe regular open source driver and my ddesktop looks perfect | 11:27 |
| knome | Sysi, no... i don't think you need. | 11:27 |
| knome | i think i need to switch my GC back to the one i had earlier. this one is giving me headache. | 11:27 |
| Sysi | UbuXubu: did you even try nvidia settings manager? | 11:28 |
| Sysi | it's in menu | 11:28 |
| UbuXubu | hmmm no | 11:28 |
| UbuXubu | missed that? | 11:28 |
| UbuXubu | but in was worried when i read that if i used closed drivers ubuntu ppl cant help | 11:29 |
| knome | the nvidia settings manager is very powerful tool, and you can really achieve what you want tith it | 11:29 |
| Sysi | UbuXubu: we can a little | 11:29 |
| UbuXubu | hmmmm where is this nvidia manager? | 11:29 |
| knome | UbuXubu, we still can help you with adjusting the settings, but not fixing the bugs in the software/drivers | 11:29 |
| Sysi | UbuXubu: it can be used only with restricted driver | 11:29 |
| UbuXubu | i can reinstall the nvidia driver i just didnt see the nvidia manager setting thing | 11:30 |
| Sysi | it's under System or Settings | 11:30 |
| UbuXubu | was it in one of the ubuntu drop down menus? | 11:30 |
| Sysi | in menu | 11:30 |
| UbuXubu | ok hmmm | 11:30 |
| UbuXubu | bummer | 11:30 |
| UbuXubu | i uninstalled it | 11:30 |
| UbuXubu | oh well here goes? | 11:30 |
| UbuXubu | its ok to install again right? | 11:31 |
| UbuXubu | in out in out? | 11:31 |
| UbuXubu | installing the recommended nvidia driver as we speak... | 11:33 |
| UbuXubu | it will eventually make me restart but ill come back... | 11:33 |
| UbuXubu | always hangs on the darn install but installs | 11:34 |
| UbuXubu | ok willrestart now see ya in a minute i wanna try that nvidia manager thing | 11:35 |
| UbuXubu | ok lets see if i can find this nvidia manager... | 11:38 |
| UbuXubu | Sysi, do u mean the nvidia x server setting? | 11:39 |
| Sysi | that | 11:39 |
| UbuXubu | cos i did try that before but i dont see how i am suposed to use it...hmmm will look more closely | 11:39 |
| UbuXubu | i mean it is set automatically as far as far a s i can see..it know my exact model of monitor and the exact pixel resolution...so what am i supposed to do? | 11:41 |
| UbuXubu | lots of thing to mess with in here but i dont understand any of them hehe...if it know my exact model and is set to auto configure...shouldnt me desktop NOT be stretched? | 11:45 |
| UbuXubu | hmmm maybe i fixed it | 11:50 |
| UbuXubu | guess il try to watch a vide o now | 11:51 |
| UbuXubu | hmm its better | 11:53 |
| UbuXubu | good one Sysi! | 11:53 |
| UbuXubu | but the people are still a lil bit slow on their movement in the videos but still better | 11:54 |
| UbuXubu | i suppose if i figure out all of the 1o million adjustments in there i can fix it entirely. | 11:54 |
| UbuXubu | sysi u still in here | 14:23 |
| Sysi | don't ask, i'm not only person in entire internet | 14:24 |
| riz__ | hello | 14:35 |
| riz__ | is there someone who can help me with a trouble with my eeepc & xubuntu? | 14:35 |
| Sysi | !help | 14:36 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 14:36 |
| riz__ | !help | 14:36 |
| bazhang | riz__, ask a question | 14:36 |
| riz__ | I'm trying to use Xubuntu on a eeePc, I've tried 4-5 different releases but cannot solve my problem: the system is incredibly slow, cpu works always a lot, also the ram... also scrolling the firefox pages is a pain in the ass! how can I solve this? | 14:40 |
| charlie-tca | How much ram do you have? | 14:41 |
| riz__ | the eeepc model is 1101ha, 1gb ram, 2.8gb of swap, now, with FF and irc client open the ram is at 22%, the cpu1 is on 82%, the cpu2 floats from 60 to 100% | 14:43 |
| Sysi | use "top" to see what's using resources | 14:45 |
| Sysi | flash webpages need lots of power | 14:45 |
| riz__ | is it possible that is so slow that cannot see a youtube video normally? with winXp they works normally :P | 14:47 |
| riz__ | right now 61mb for FF, 10mb for irc chat | 14:47 |
| riz__ | and the system monitor keeps 32% of cpu | 14:47 |
| riz__ | and cannot find any "drivers" that can help to improve performances :P | 14:50 |
| bazhang | using compiz? | 14:52 |
| bazhang | ah ask 'n quit | 14:52 |
| BlueEagle | bazhang: We all know if they don't get an answer within 20 seconds they google it. ;) | 16:14 |
| charlie-tca | Be nice if they would try searching first | 16:15 |
| BlueEagle | charlie-tca: It would be nice to win the lottery as well. | 16:16 |
| charlie-tca | agreed :-) | 16:16 |

| kevinSj | Does anyone know if it's possible to dual monitor in Xubuntu? Worked perfectly in Ubuntu | 20:16 |
| knome | it is possible. | 20:16 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 20:16 |
| kevinSj | Good | 20:16 |
| kevinSj | How? | 20:16 |
| charlie-tca | !xinerama | 20:16 |
| ubottu | xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead | 20:16 |
| kevinSj | Ubottu, so Xubuntu doesn't have native support? | 20:17 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:17 |
| charlie-tca | no | 20:17 |
| kevinSj | charlie-tca, Okey. I want my os to be as lightweight as possible. is Xinerama light? | 20:18 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know. If you light, why use dual monitors? | 20:18 |
| kevinSj | charlie-tca, Need it when I program. | 20:18 |
| kevinSj | How do I turn off my laptop display then? | 20:33 |
| kevinSj | So I only use the external monitor? | 20:33 |
