| ubuXubu | correct* | 05:19 |
| ubuXubu | or the correct user name or both | 05:19 |
| ubuXubu | all set with the authentification failure johnbendi | 05:44 |
| johnbendi | ubuXubu, i don't understand.. what do i do | 05:55 |
| johnbendi | ubuXubu, please can you help | 06:08 |
| Sysi | johnbendi: are you sure you got right password? | 06:21 |
| ubuXubu | usually when that happens u are not using the correct username | 06:22 |
| ubuXubu | its either an incorrect username...or an incorrect password | 06:22 |
| ubuXubu | so when u installed it...it asked for a username and u put one in there! | 06:23 |
| ubuXubu | so use the dadgummed username | 06:23 |
| ubuXubu | and the nthe dalgarned password will work | 06:23 |
| Sysi | ubuXubu: could you write entire words? no offence | 06:23 |
| Sysi | (!u) | 06:24 |
| ubuXubu | no offence taken | 06:24 |
| ubuXubu | could you go get some soymilk | 06:24 |
| Sysi | johnbendi: you should try connecting to open network | 06:24 |
| ubuXubu | johnbendi, do you understand? | 06:24 |
| Sysi | oh, login not wifi problem | 06:25 |
| Sysi | sorry.. morning | 06:25 |
| Sysi | only thing i can guess is wrong passwd | 06:26 |
| Sysi | press ctrl alt F1 and try login there | 06:26 |
| johnbendi | ubuXubu i don"t understand open network | 06:28 |
| Sysi | i said that, i managed to though you had problem with wlan | 06:28 |
| johnbendi | Sysi, i've installed several times carefully creating ausername and pass | 06:28 |
| Sysi | <Sysi> press ctrl alt F1 and try login there | 06:29 |
| johnbendi | ok i"ll do, but i want to also add that i checked the etc/passwd on the /target/ path and the installation didn't add the user i created, but i"ll finish and feed you back | 06:30 |
| Sysi | !ppc | 06:31 |
| ubottu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 06:31 |
| Sysi | no irc for that anymore(?) hmm | 06:32 |
| Sysi | you should try 10.04 LTS | 06:33 |
| Sysi | you maybe need to file a bug, but i doubt there are many ppc-devs anymore | 06:34 |
| helpmex | hi all | 11:48 |
| helpmex | is possible to choose what i want install? | 11:49 |
| helpmex | or remove after install xubuntu to free hd space? | 11:50 |
| Sysi | of course you can remove software after installation | 11:51 |
| helpmex | Sysi: thanks i think so, but i have a 2Gb usb (system requirment are 2Gb) but the installation ask me for 2,6Gb of free space | 11:52 |
| helpmex | so i cannot install it | 11:52 |
| Sysi | i think you won't get any *buntu to 2GB drive | 11:53 |
| helpmex | so i cannot, in any way, choose software to install before it? | 11:55 |
| Sysi | not, if you won't do cli install and install software after that | 11:56 |
| helpmex | cli? | 11:57 |
| Sysi | command line, possible with alternate disk | 11:57 |
| Sysi | or "ubuntu server" | 11:58 |
| Sysi | but even the most basic can take over that 2gb | 11:58 |
| helpmex | in alternate disk what i can choose? | 12:00 |
| moetunes | I think you just type cli at the boot menu to get the minimal install | 12:03 |
| helpmex | bye all and thanks a lot | 12:08 |
| JackJ | Hey, is there a way to create/format partitions without using the live CD as its already installed? | 12:51 |
| Sysi | you can't modify mounted partitions but you can use gparted | 12:52 |
| charlie-tca | JackJ: yes, install gparted | 12:52 |
| JackJ | So just sudo apt-get Gparted or? | 12:52 |
| charlie-tca | no caps | 12:53 |
| charlie-tca | sudo apt-get install gparted | 12:53 |
| JackJ | Righto | 12:53 |
| JackJ | Okay, I got a 400GB Vista partition I want to get rid of, What do I format it to? | 12:56 |
| Sysi | ext4 is good for linux use | 12:57 |
| JackJ | I'm going to be making an XP partition out of half of it | 12:57 |
| Sysi | ntfs for that | 12:58 |
| JackJ | Righto, Thanks | 12:58 |
| Sysi | installing xp will mess your grub bootloader | 12:58 |
| JackJ | Yeah | 12:58 |
| Sysi | ubuntu wiki has good instructions for getting it back | 12:58 |
| JackJ | It says that partition is locked | 12:59 |
| Sysi | you have vista suspended or shutted down badly | 13:01 |
| JackJ | It was working fine when I restarted to boot Xubuntu earlier | 13:01 |
| Sysi | you maybe could remove it and create new | 13:02 |
| JackJ | You mean delete it? | 13:02 |
| Sysi | that | 13:02 |
| JackJ | Okay, 400.52Gb Unallocated | 13:04 |
| JackJ | Would I reboot now and start the XP installation? | 13:05 |
| Sysi | it can create partitions | 13:05 |
| JackJ | Option for ntfs is grayed out | 13:06 |
| JackJ | Okay | 13:14 |
| JackJ | Rebooting | 13:14 |
| Ichat | probable a stupid quiestion but why is xubuntu user gdm instead of lxdm or slim ??? | 14:44 |
| charlie-tca | because gdm works | 14:46 |
| ablomen | Ichat, check the archives of the xubuntu-devel mailing list, there has been a lot of discussions about this | 14:46 |
| ablomen | *have | 14:46 |
| Ichat | and probaly one more functional question - are there packages for thunar 1.1 yet ... | 14:47 |
| StaRetji1 | Folks, I'm having problem installing nvidia driver. I've followed this post http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/how-to-install-nvidia-25635-display.html | 15:10 |
| StaRetji1 | Then go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and make sure "Nvidia current" is activated. | 15:11 |
| StaRetji1 | How to to this in xubuntu? Thx | 15:11 |
| charlie-tca | StaRetji1: go to Applications -> system -> Hardware drivers | 15:27 |
| charlie-tca | It might be called Additional drivers in Xubuntu 10.10 | 15:28 |
| StaRetji1 | charlie-tca: thank you, will try it right away | 15:33 |
| StaRetji1 | Hm, there is nothing on right screen, somebody probably removed it | 15:38 |
| StaRetji1 | right click* sorry | 15:39 |
| StaRetji1 | can this be called from terminal? | 15:39 |
| TheSheep | maybe your xfdesktop died? try pressing alt+f2 and running it | 15:46 |
| StaRetji1 | TheSheep: no, it is remove intentliously, no right click mouse options | 15:47 |
| StaRetji1 | it is kiosk pc | 15:47 |
| StaRetji1 | i can bring terminal | 15:47 |
| StaRetji1 | I though there is command to start this, like you can start xfce4-settings-manager and similar | 15:48 |
| TheSheep | StaRetji1: it's jockey-gtk | 15:52 |
| TheSheep | StaRetji1: but it's much easier for us to help you if you don't break your system instentionally before | 15:53 |
| StaRetji1 | TheSheep: thx :) It was not installed | 15:53 |
| StaRetji1 | TheSheep: sorry for that, somebody else was messing with it, friend asked me if I can fix it | 15:53 |
| StaRetji1 | yep, that was it, jockey-gtk | 15:54 |
| StaRetji1 | thx man | 15:54 |
| TheSheep | glad I could be of assistance | 15:54 |
| StaRetji1 | your help is highly appreciated, respect! | 15:55 |
| natenate | i installed a printer and it only prints in color? | 16:32 |
| natenate | wassup with that | 16:34 |
| charlie-tca | is a a color printer? | 16:38 |
| mikubuntu | i have a 'new' reconditioned laptop running 1004 and it has some touchpad behaviors that are driving me nuts ... for instance, there seems to be some mouse gestures enabled that cause the page to jump up or down, also many times it will paste the last thing i copied into a textarea that i am writing something else. | 17:05 |
| mikubuntu | as far as i know i have not enabled or installed any mouse gesturing apps | 17:05 |
| charlie-tca | Might be hardware. Some of the older Dell portables had that issue | 17:06 |
| charlie-tca | The only fix I ever heard of was turning off the touchpad | 17:07 |
| moetunes | I used this to get my touchpad working usefully - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Synaptics - there's a part in there on how to disable it while typing | 17:13 |
| mikubuntu | moetunes, i think thats in firefox prefs (also) isn't it? but i'm using chrome right now, and it's doing the behaviors there also. | 17:17 |
| mikubuntu | gonna go check prefs, and i'll have a look at your wiki page, thx | 17:18 |

| Aquina | Is there a way to get monodevelop > 1.0 for Hardy? I cannot find a PPA but need it to compile something and help a friend. | 17:48 |
| Aquina | (I don't like C#) | 17:48 |
| moetunes | Aquina: http://packages.debian.org/testing/monodevelop - best I could find - you might run into dependency hell tho | 18:02 |
| asciiker | hello | 18:50 |
| asciiker | anyone tried xubuntu thry hyper-V ? | 18:51 |
| hrga | does XUbuntu 10.10 have XFCE desktop or GNOME desktop? Which one? | 19:19 |
| moetunes | the x is for xfce :) | 19:19 |
| asciiker | xfce is the best for servers for someone like me coming from windows server | 19:21 |
| asciiker | Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V !!! | 19:22 |
| hrga | cool | 19:22 |
| Sysi | best server is without GUI.. ssh from machine that has the gui | 19:24 |
| asciiker | Sysi ... you are ultimately right, specially on low bandwidth connections | 19:27 |
| asciiker | but for new linux users, gui is a must in the beggining | 19:28 |
| asciiker | maybe you can help me, I have just installed xubuntu on a VM, set a dedicated IP. is SSH already configured on port 22 by default? | 19:29 |
| moetunes | the ssh client is | 19:35 |
| asciiker | I mean the server | 19:39 |
| asciiker | and it doesn't seem to be | 19:39 |
| moetunes | not installed by default | 19:40 |
| asciiker | ok | 19:40 |
| asciiker | I'm looking thru ubunto software center | 19:41 |
| asciiker | should I just try with apt-get instead | 19:41 |
| moetunes | apt-cache search ssh-server i think would work | 19:42 |
| asciiker | thanks | 19:42 |
| moetunes | !info ssh | 19:42 |
| ubottu | ssh (source: openssh): secure shell client and server (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 1:5.5p1-4ubuntu4 (maverick), package size 1 kB, installed size 40 kB | 19:42 |
| moetunes | it's openssh-server I think | 19:43 |
| asciiker | yup | 19:51 |
| asciiker | sounds about right | 19:51 |
| asciiker | dumb question | 19:59 |
| asciiker | what is defaut root password is there is now and how I change it, tired of having to put sudo before each command | 19:59 |
| Sysi | sudo -s | 19:59 |
| asciiker | thanks | 19:59 |
| Sysi | or sudo -i | 19:59 |
| Aquina | thx moetunes but the changes are to significant. | 20:18 |
| asciiker | thanks for the help, everything is working well so far | 20:32 |
| asciiker | do you know if webmin is worth the effort | 20:32 |
| asciiker | a while ago I heard it was too much of a trouble | 20:33 |
| Sysi | people say it's nice | 20:33 |
| Sysi | if you'd really want GUI-configuring, YaST | 20:34 |
| Sysi | should work on terminal too, ncurses | 20:34 |
| asciiker | I'm only on ssh now, atempting to install webmin | 20:39 |
| Sysi | (that's fun, people have problems with cli, i have problems with gui) | 20:40 |
| asciiker | done | 20:51 |
| asciiker | really easy and smooth | 20:51 |
| asciiker | I like it good | 20:51 |
| asciiker | ummm | 21:18 |
| asciiker | I thought webmin would install apache mysql and php | 21:18 |
| charlie-tca | !webmin | 21:30 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 21:30 |
| Sysi | ..i haven't heard that | 21:30 |
| charlie-tca | !info webmin | 21:31 |
| ubottu | Package webmin does not exist in maverick | 21:31 |
| charlie-tca | I think it happened in lucid or before | 21:31 |
| asciiker | weird | 21:32 |
| asciiker | because it installed just fine and I have the web config page | 21:33 |
| asciiker | but ok | 21:33 |
| asciiker | thanks for the help | 21:33 |
| asciiker | see you soon | 21:33 |
| knome | i don't really know why webmin even should install AMP | 21:33 |
