| Ammond | Just got Xubuntu loaded on a couple hosts. I'm confused about encrypting my home folder. A wizard comes up and tells me to click on the button to get my pass phrase and NOTHING happens. What's the trick?? | 00:44 |
|---|---|---|
| Ammond | Even the command line seems to be wrong. I presume I really needed to sudo the command. Haven't tried that yet. | 00:45 |

| BipolarMike | hello? I am a newb... anyone like to help me install Xubuntu? | 05:13 |
| BipolarMike | aw... | 05:13 |
| Misterangry | any suggestions for hanging at "Checking battery state" on live cd start? | 05:32 |
| moetunes | I would suggest doing the cd check | 05:35 |
| Misterangry | I did, and it turned out fine | 05:35 |
| moetunes | Misterangry: I can't find anything on google about that sort of issue | 05:42 |
| moetunes | does it happen with another live cd? | 05:43 |
| ubuXubu | good morning xubuntu technicians. | 05:53 |
| Misterangry | moetunes: no | 05:54 |
| moetunes | Misterangry: how old is the laptop? | 05:55 |
| Misterangry | that's the thing | 05:56 |
| Misterangry | it's not a laptop | 05:56 |
| moetunes | ohh | 05:56 |
| moetunes | prob why it hangs | 05:57 |
| Misterangry | so is xubuntu laptop exclusive? | 06:03 |
| moetunes | not at all - been in google again and found nothing like your issue | 06:08 |
| moetunes | I don't know why it would be looking for a battery at all Misterangry | 06:12 |
| moetunes | Misterangry: what sort of hardware is in the comp? | 06:14 |
| Misterangry | intel p4, think it's an intel motherboard too | 06:15 |
| Misterangry | 2gb ram, nVidia card (I think.) | 06:16 |
| moetunes | should be no hassles at all with that stuff... | 06:16 |
| TheSheep | Misterangry: there is a number of kernel options you might want to try at startup | 06:17 |
| Misterangry | such as | 06:17 |
| ubuXubu | may i hear this problem | 06:17 |
| TheSheep | Misterangry: they are described in the help there | 06:17 |
| Misterangry | ubuXubu: Misterangry: any suggestions for hanging at "Checking battery state" on live cd start? | 06:22 |
| ubuXubu | hmmm | 06:22 |
| ubuXubu | doubt this is right but maybr change cmos battery if its old | 06:23 |
| TheSheep | Misterangry: I think that checking battery just happens to be the last thing displayed, it's not the thing that actually hangs | 06:24 |
| TheSheep | Misterangry: (x)ubuntu skips quite some messages | 06:24 |
| Misterangry | hmmph | 06:24 |
| Misterangry | how would I go about booting in to expert mode? | 06:24 |
| TheSheep | I guess you read the help at the boot screen, sorry I won't reboot now just to check for you | 06:25 |
| ubuXubu | does it hang but then does it let u run the os? | 06:25 |
| TheSheep | It's under F1 | 06:25 |
| Misterangry | it just hangs | 06:27 |
| ubuXubu | so it never gets beyond that | 06:28 |
| Misterangry | nope | 06:28 |
| ubuXubu | if so i would suspect video issue | 06:28 |
| ubuXubu | is it a windows computer | 06:29 |
| Misterangry | nope | 06:29 |
| Misterangry | it runs Debian normally | 06:29 |
| ubuXubu | i wonder then if ubuntu cd would run live | 06:30 |
| Misterangry | yeah | 06:30 |
| ubuXubu | ok so if ubuntu runs live and xubuntu hangs at that stage i think there is a video issue in xfce with your hardware | 06:30 |
| ubuXubu | is it 1004 or above | 06:31 |
| Misterangry | 10.10 | 06:31 |
| ubuXubu | ill bet 904 works | 06:31 |
| moetunes | looking for a battery wouldn't be a video issue afaik | 06:32 |
| ubuXubu | ill bet xubuntu 904 will run, i experienced something like this on a p4/nvidia desktop | 06:32 |
| ubuXubu | i know ...battery was 1st wild guess | 06:33 |
| ubuXubu | i think it video/xfce thing | 06:33 |
| ubuXubu | Misterangry, any chance th cd itself is corrupt, did you try it in another machine | 06:40 |
| Misterangry | not yet | 06:54 |
| Misterangry | and I actually don't have any machines without an nvidia card. lol | 06:55 |
| Misterangry | excluding the ppc laptop next to me, which wouldn't work for obvious reasons | 06:56 |
| xubuntu149 | hey | 08:37 |
| xubuntu017 | эй | 08:49 |
| Misterangry | it seems I got 10.04 working | 08:53 |
| moetunes | how did you get the cd booting Misterangry ? | 08:53 |
| Misterangry | burned a copy of 10.04, verified it and then started it normally | 08:55 |
| Misterangry | and yes, it is working | 08:55 |
| Amaterasu | helloo | 08:57 |
| Amaterasu | i recently tried xubuntu and i have question i'd to ask about it | 08:58 |
| Amaterasu | anyone there ? | 08:58 |
| TheSheep | wow, xubuntu is now used by japanese gods | 09:04 |
| moetunes | I am amazed at the breadth of your knowledge TheSheep :) | 09:07 |
| TheSheep | moetunes: telling that to someone with access to Internet is weird | 09:07 |
| moetunes | ohh you googled it ? | 09:08 |
| TheSheep | no, but I could have | 09:08 |
| moetunes | I had a feeling you didn't... | 09:08 |
| knome | !ask | Amaterasu | 09:35 |
| ubottu | Amaterasu: 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. :-) | 09:35 |
| TheSheep | knome: yeah, we have it all explained already on #x-ot | 09:35 |
| knome | right | 09:35 |
| knome | i'll just continue with my usual matters then | 09:36 |
| TheSheep | :) | 09:36 |
| aladoinsano | Im trying to start xmodmap -e 'keycode 118 = Return' automatically on login, via rc.local, but it refuses to run. It does work since i can type exactly that in the terminal and then it works | 13:26 |
| aladoinsano | can anyone be of help? | 13:26 |
| moetunes | you can add it to the autostarted apps for your user | 13:27 |
| charlie-tca | cross-posted to #xfce at the same time | 13:28 |
| aladoinsano | yes i did add it to autostarted apps, but that didnt work either, trying out to put it .xinitrc now, lets see if that does the trick | 13:31 |
