[07:49] <manfredrasta> its like watching photographs
[07:49] <manfredrasta> i dont mean the download bar :)
[07:49] <manfredrasta> i know its slow
[07:49] <manfredrasta> i mean the immage
[07:50] <bioterror> that's sounds weird
[07:50] <bioterror> so the problems is in the drivers
[07:50] <bioterror> you're using laptop or what?
[07:50] <manfredrasta> sorry. Laptop lubuntu 10.04
[07:51] <manfredrasta> an old laptop
[07:52] <manfredrasta> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/XP (rev 63)
[07:52] <bioterror> okay
[07:52] <bioterror> actually, I have to lift my hands up becouse these ubuntu systems doesnt use xorg.conf anymore nowdays
[07:52] <bioterror> hard to say what kind of driver it is using atma.
[07:52] <bioterror> atm.
[07:52] <manfredrasta> i am using an xorg
[07:53] <manfredrasta> because the resolution wasnt correct
[07:53] <manfredrasta> so i created a new xorg and paste in it something a person told me
[07:53] <bioterror> you did xorg -configure?
[07:53] <manfredrasta> something like that
[07:53] <bioterror> okay
[07:53] <bioterror> are you using vesa driver or what?
[07:54] <manfredrasta> dont know
[07:54] <manfredrasta> sorry im new
[07:54] <manfredrasta> i didn't install any driver
[07:54] <manfredrasta> i think
[07:54] <manfredrasta> ...
[07:55] <bioterror> yeah
[07:55] <bioterror> just a moment
[07:55] <bioterror> what kind of laptop are you using?

[07:59] <manfredrasta> toshiba satellite pro
[07:59] <manfredrasta> 4600
[08:05] <bioterror> can you check from the /etc/X11/xorg.conf that you're using "Driver "trident"?
[08:09] <manfredrasta> yep
[08:09] <manfredrasta> one minute
[08:10] <manfredrasta> in the section monitor its written: Driver: "trident"
[08:11] <bioterror> you can try to replace it with "vesa"
[08:11] <bioterror> if the driver doesnt work that well
[08:12] <manfredrasta> just write vesa there?
[08:12] <bioterror> yeah
[08:12] <bioterror> instead of trident
[08:13] <manfredrasta> could happen that i cant see nothing anymore?
[08:13] <bioterror> if it happens, you can always change it back to trident ;)
[08:13] <manfredrasta> ok
[08:13] <manfredrasta> ill try
[08:13] <manfredrasta> should rebbot after isnt it?
[08:13] <bioterror> no you dont have to
[08:14] <bioterror> you can just do ctrl alt backspace
[08:14] <bioterror> it should kill the X
[08:14] <manfredrasta> ok
[08:16] <manfredrasta> when i click save it ask me where i want to save it, i leave the same place and click ok, then ask me if im sure to rewritte it, click yes, and then it says that it is impossible to open the file for writing
[08:16] <bioterror> hahaha
[08:16] <bioterror> open terminal, then do: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:17] <bioterror> or
[08:17] <bioterror> you can do alt+f2 and type "gksudo <insert your texteditor here> /etc/X11/xorg.conf" without those ""
[08:18] <manfredrasta> i think i dont have nano
[08:18] <bioterror> I bet you have nano
[08:18] <manfredrasta> si ill do sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:18] <bioterror> yeah
[08:21] <manfredrasta> now
[08:21] <manfredrasta> when i try to save it
[08:21] <manfredrasta> it ask me for the name of the file
[08:21] <manfredrasta> and it is writen /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:21] <bioterror> yes
[08:21] <manfredrasta> it gives me some options:
[08:22] <bioterror> just press enter
[08:22] <manfredrasta> ^G Guida            M-D Formato DOS     M-A Accoda          M-B File di backup

[08:22] <manfredrasta> to kill X?
[08:23] <bioterror> you can now check it again
[08:23] <bioterror> and see if your changes are there
[08:23] <manfredrasta> yes, my changes are there
[08:23] <bioterror> if there really is that "vesa" instead of "trident"
[08:23] <bioterror> okay
[08:23] <bioterror> kill X
[08:23] <manfredrasta> ctr alt bckspace does nothing
[08:23] <manfredrasta> i reboot

[08:40] <manfredrasta> this happened to me
[08:41] <manfredrasta> i could only get 800x600 resolution
[08:41] <manfredrasta> so i had to modify the xorg
[08:41] <manfredrasta> now i have 1024x786

[14:11] <rhobuntu-user> hi
[14:11] <rhobuntu-user> My distro auto-logons as root. How do I reconfigure auto-login on LXDE?
[14:16] <bioterror> /etc/lxdm/default.conf
[14:16] <bioterror> you could check that one out
[14:17] <rhobuntu-user> eh
[14:17] <rhobuntu-user> ok
[14:18] <bioterror> did you find that "autologin=username"? :-)
[14:18] <rhobuntu-user> bioterror: It's empty
[14:19] <bioterror> it's not the correct file then
[14:20] <rhobuntu-user> hmm
[14:20] <rhobuntu-user> Where is the right one?
[14:20] <bioterror> gotta boot to linux
[14:21] <rhobuntu-user> kk
[14:24] <bioterror> sad157@dopethrone:~$ cat /etc/lxdm/default.conf
[14:24] <bioterror> [base]
[14:24] <bioterror> # autologin=dgod
[14:25] <bioterror> session=/usr/bin/startlubuntu
[14:25] <bioterror> # numlock=0
[14:25] <bioterror> greeter=/usr/lib/lxdm/lxdm-greeter-gtk
[14:25] <bioterror> [server]
[14:25] <bioterror> # arg=/usr/bin/X -nr vt1
[14:25] <bioterror> [display]
[14:25] <bioterror> gtk_theme=Clearlooks
[14:25] <bioterror> bg=/usr/share/lubuntu/wallpapers/lubuntu-default-wallpaper.png
[14:25] <bioterror> bottom_pane=1
[14:25] <bioterror> lang=1
[14:25] <bioterror> theme=Lubuntu
[14:25] <bioterror> [input]
[14:25] <bioterror> that's how my file looks like
[14:25] <bioterror> if you uncomment that autologin and your own username, it should work
[14:26] <rhobuntu-user> hmm
[14:26] <rhobuntu-user> I have no such file
[14:26] <bioterror> you're using a lubuntu?
[14:26] <rhobuntu-user> wait
[14:27] <rhobuntu-user> I don't habe /etc/lxdm either
[14:27] <rhobuntu-user> :O
[14:27] <bioterror> :o
[14:27] <rhobuntu-user> hmm
[14:27] <rhobuntu-user> I'm running rhobuntu
[14:27] <bioterror> okay
[14:27] <rhobuntu-user> In the about menu of my terminal it says LXTerminal
[14:28] <rhobuntu-user> Which is part of the lxde project
[14:28] <bioterror> yes, but you can install it even on slackware which is running kde :D
[14:29] <bioterror> maybe your rhobuntu is ment to be used as a root
[14:29] <rhobuntu-user> Well
[14:29] <rhobuntu-user> How do I do an ls of folders only?
[14:30] <rhobuntu-user> bioterror: I should keep trying at least, for there is no other way geony will work
[14:35] <bioterror> you should first find out which display manager it uses
[14:35] <bioterror> is it gdm?
[14:36] <bioterror> maybe it's under /etc/xdg/ if there's nothing in the desktop's menu selection
[14:37] <rhobuntu-user> the shutdown window says lxde
[14:37] <rhobuntu-user> fileman is used
[14:37] <rhobuntu-user> pcman
[14:40] <rhobuntu-user> nothing useful at /etc either
[14:47] <bioterror> daamn
[14:47] <bioterror> I gave my Qtek 9100 away and I can run linux on it too :D
[14:47] <bioterror> gotta ask if I can get it back :-------D
[14:51] <bioterror> oh god, it's b roken :D
[14:55] <rhobuntu-user> lol
[14:55] <rhobuntu-user> Well thanks
[14:55] <rhobuntu-user> I
[14:55] <bioterror> did you find that configure
[14:55]  * rhobuntu-user is off
[14:55] <bioterror> ? :D
[14:55] <rhobuntu-user> nope
[14:55] <bioterror> I bet it's intendent to be run as root
[14:55] <bioterror> or have you created a user for it?
[14:55] <rhobuntu-user> probz
[14:55] <rhobuntu-user> yeah
[14:55] <rhobuntu-user> with adduser
[14:55] <bioterror> there's no graphical tools for it?
[14:56] <rhobuntu-user> dunno
[14:56] <rhobuntu-user> Don't think so
[15:05] <sgh> I've got 3 problems with Lubuntu 10.10 which are (to my knowledge) related to the kernel and Ubuntu base, but I don't experience them in Xubuntu 10.10, therefore I'm quite confused. Grub doesn't create a Windows entry, whereas it does in Xubuntu; my internet connection is established according to network-manager but I can't access the internet (I can ping and IPv6 is supposed to be ignored); my printer isn't recognized in Lubuntu although i
[15:06] <sgh> I don't want to complain about the lubuntu teams work, since its not their business to deal with hardware related things, yet I wonder how this issues occur although they don't occur in Xubuntu which is using the same base
[15:07] <bioterror> using lubuntu with XP and no probs
[15:07] <bioterror> you're not only one complaining that grub did not find your windows
[15:07] <bioterror> are you using windows and linux on same hdd or are they on different?
[15:07] <sgh> they are on the same
[15:08] <sgh> I just wonder why Xubuntu recognizes the Windows partition although it's just as up to date as Lubuntu
[20:54] <mmaksimov> Hi. I wonder if anyone here has much experience in Abiword. I mean, I'm going to set up an old machine with Lubuntu for a relative of mine, and the primary usage would be typewriter-type. However, I've recently had strange issues  with Abiword in mainstream Ubuntu 10.04, so I'm wondering if it will work for a computer-illiterate person?
[21:05] <phillw> mmaksimov: I've had no problems with abiword.
