[16:54] <Guest22981> Sysi, Do you understand me?
[16:59] <Sysi> not sure
[16:59] <Sysi> !panels

[17:10] <Guest22981> bye bye
[18:30] <Silasle> I get this error message when booting Xubuntu (i have checked the md5 of the iso): http://paste.ubuntu.com/520888/
[18:31] <Sysi> how you're trying to boot?
[18:32] <Silasle> Live cd
[18:32] <Sysi> it fails before anything happens?
[18:34] <Silasle> I come to the screen where i can choose language and if i want to test live/install ..., And then if i choose something i get the boot splash for maybe 4 min, and then the message comes
[18:35] <Sysi> have you cheked cd from that menu?
[18:35] <Silasle> Yes
[18:35] <Silasle> Same result
[18:36] <Silasle> Btw, i dont know if the 2 last messages appear if i choose to try it live, they appeared an bit later when checking the cd.
[18:38] <Silasle> The crazy thing is that the cd was running at another computer before, whitout problems.
[18:39] <Sysi> are you sure that cd drive is working?
[18:40] <Silasle> I can see the files now on suse (9.3)
[18:41] <Silasle> But i cant promise that it is working perfectly.
[18:42] <Silasle> And i think this computer is to old to boot from an usb-stick.
[18:48] <Silasle> Can linux still be installed whit floppys?
[18:59] <Anom01y> sorry kid typing
[19:31] <linux-geek> ? any no if xubuntu 10.10 can run off 256 in ram or is that the old one that can
[21:25] <abehad701> i'm new to xubuntu. just installed on a toshiba portege r100. trying to change my display to 1024x768 but there is no option for anythign greater than 800x600. i've been searching the web for hours trying to find the answer and nothign seems to work. my biggest problem is that the most common solution involves editing xorg.conf, which i don't have (and i don't think is used anymore if i understand correctly). does anyone know how i can fix this? my graphic
[21:25] <abehad701> s card is a trident cyberblade xp4m32
[23:00] <andai> Hi
[23:01] <andai> I'm on Ubuntu 10.04, wanna switch to 10.10 but i also wanna switch to Xubuntu
[23:01] <andai> fastest way to do this?
[23:01] <andai> install xubuntu-desktop then upgrade? :P
[23:02] <MaximumResults> andai, that should work.  You might want to uninstall ubuntu-desktop first, then install xubuntu-desktop, then upgrade.
[23:02] <MaximumResults> I'm on a relatively fresh install of 10.10,
[23:02] <Sysi> total reinstall would be fastest
[23:03] <MaximumResults> Just got my wireless adapter for this old laptop, and I'm trying to get it working.
[23:03] <MaximumResults> Anyone been through this?
[23:04] <andai> MaximumResults: Will uninstalling ubuntu-desktop have any side-effects i might want to take into account?
[23:04] <MaximumResults> Configuration, Dell Inspiron 1150,   Network card identifies itself like this: $ sudo lspci | grep -i wireless
[23:04] <MaximumResults> 02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)
[23:04] <MaximumResults> andai,   I suspect you'll lose some of your desktop settings.  I haven't done this before.
[23:04] <andai> alright thanks :)
[23:04] <Sysi> andai: shouldn't, but you are a moment without desktop if you remove it before installing xfce
[23:05] <MaximumResults> But I have read a few places online, and the recipe seems to be sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop; sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop.
[23:05] <andai> Sysi: Yeah. I'm guessing it won't let me remove it while running GDM? :P
[23:05] <MaximumResults> Yeah, you definitely want to be out of the GUI when you do those.
[23:06] <Sysi> update would be fastest without any desktop
[23:07] <Sysi> and if you in any case install xfce desktop separately, why do it twice.. (updating)
[23:07] <MaximumResults> Any clues on this network adapter?
[23:07] <Sysi> google?
[23:08] <MaximumResults> Yeah, I've been looking.
[23:08] <Sysi> i'd boot it connected and then watch networkmanager
[23:08] <MaximumResults> Wireless on laptops always seems problematic for Linux.   I've done the Broadcom ones on my HP laptops before.
[23:08] <Sysi> hotplug should work though
[23:09] <MaximumResults> It's an internal mini-pci card.   I shut down, installed the card, then booted up.
[23:09] <Sysi> broadcoms are ones with only restricted drivers? my wireless have almost always worked out of box
[23:10] <Sysi> do you have wireles enabled?
[23:10] <MaximumResults> My network manager still has "Wireless Networks - wireless is disabled"
[23:10] <MaximumResults> and when I right click, "enable wireless" is grayed out and disabled.
[23:10] <MaximumResults> So I can't click on it and get it enabled.
[23:12] <MaximumResults> Duh,   I guess I should reboot and make sure that it's enabled in the setup.   I might have it turned off in the BIOS setup.
[23:12] <andai> 1) How do i get to CLI? (Ctrl+Alt+1 is still in X right?)
[23:12] <andai> 2) < sudo apt-get dist-upgrade > should do it? Or should i do regular update too, first?
[23:13] <MaximumResults> Although if this adapter was totally turned off, I wouldn't see it in lspci, would i?
[23:13] <andai> 3) Will < remove ubuntu-desktop > also remove Firefox (more specifically, its user settings)?
[23:14] <MaximumResults> andai,  I don't think it should remove the firefox settings.
[23:14] <andai> thanks
[23:14] <MaximumResults> You might want to make a backup copy of all your hidden directories off your home directories.
[23:14] <MaximumResults> .mozilla or .firefox or something like that has all the firefox related settings in it.
[23:14] <Sysi> C A F1 is without X11, then sudo -s ; service gdm stop ; do-release-upgrade (-d)
[23:15] <Sysi> nothing should remove anything in you home folder
[23:15] <Sysi> *your
[23:15] <andai> alright, thank you :)
[23:16] <Sysi> removing just ubuntu-desktop doesn't necessarily work
[23:16] <Sysi> !purexfce
[23:16] <andai> metapackage right?
[23:17] <Sysi> that
[23:17] <Sysi> aptitude might does it right
[23:17] <MaximumResults> Bye all,  I'm going to check my setup and make sure this wireless card is actually enabled in the BIOS setup.
[23:18] <andai> Sysi haha wow, how do i paste that into tty
[23:18] <andai> should i save it to a .sh file then run that
[23:19] <andai> ctrl + alt + F1  |  sudo -s  |  service gdm stop  |  ./ubuntu-remove.sh  |  apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[23:20] <Sysi> .sh is propably easiest
[23:20] <andai> oh wait, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade after removing ubuntu packages
[23:20] <Sysi> dist-upgrade isn't enough
[23:20] <andai> for what/
[23:20] <Sysi> it doesn't change repositories
[23:21] <andai> Xubuntu has different ones??
[23:21] <Sysi> do-release-upgrade, maybe with -d
[23:21] <andai> ohh
[23:21] <Sysi> 10.04 and 10.10 have different
[23:21] <andai> of couse
[23:21] <andai> ctrl + alt + F1  |  sudo -s  |  service gdm stop  |  ./ubuntu-remove.sh  |  do-release-upgrade -d  |  apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[23:23] <andai> can i put this all in a script, or are reboots required in between
[23:23] <andai> ( My connection is slow and i'd rather not sit here for 2 hours waiting for this to finish :P )
[23:26] <andai> or is a dist upgrade much faster without ubuntu-desktop stuff installed?
[23:26] <Sysi> #!/bin/bash <br> sudo -s && chmod a+x ubuntu-remove.sh && ./ubuntu-remove.sh && do-release-upgrade -d && apt-get install xubuntu-desktop && reboot
[23:27] <Sysi> ubuntu desktop adds a lot of downloading and reinstalling at least
[23:28] <andai> what's chmod a do?
[23:29] <Sysi> lets you run that script
[23:29] <MaximumResults> <---  Connected by wireless.   I feel foolish.  I was asking for help, but I had the wireless card disabled in BIOS
[23:29] <andai> i thought that was just +x
[23:29] <Sysi> a means adding it for all
[23:30] <Sysi> idk what just +x does
