varun_Hello everyone I have mutliple OS installed ,Xp and xfce 8.10 and I can boot in either but dont know how the bootloader and boot is working.I need to install ubuntu later and remove xubuntu but cannot do it if I dont know how bootloader is running.03:07
moetuneswhen you install ubuntu it's bootloader will find all other os's so yopu should be fine03:09
moetunes!grub203:09
ubottuGRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Ubuntu 9.10.  For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub203:09
moetunes!grub03:10
ubottugrub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards.03:10
varun_I need to paste the outputs of the menu.lst and the partition editor to ask a sensible question03:22
varun_http://pastebin.com/RzqQRrus03:22
varun_This is my menu.lst03:22
moetunesand the sensible question is?03:24
varun_the problem here is that If i remove the commenting for all the lines after line 124 but comment out the Xubuntu chainloader line then I can boot into both Xubuntu and windows but right now Xubuntu does not work.This menu.lst file in a primary partition /dev/sda1  which has been set as mountpoint /boot03:24
varun_also when I log into a live cd and type grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 it says file not found but when I say grub> find /grub/stage1 then I get the answer hd0,003:26
varun_The final question is that I will remove the Xubuntu from the extended partition I installed it in and then install the lucid lynx but I need the lines (chainloader)to work so I can03:27
varun_start this new xubuntu coz I will keep grub legacy in the /boot but grub2 will get installed in the new installation03:27
varun_I will also post the sudo fdisk -lu on the same page and send the link again03:28
moetunesthat file looks weird to me - I always put grub on the mbr not a partition - I think you went about things wrong there03:29
varun_http://pastebin.com/QHWReiUN03:30
moetuneswhen you install ubuntu put grub in the disk not a partition03:30
moetunesand read the grub links above before you edit any files for it would be a good idea too03:31
varun_I was trying to follow this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Multiple_OS_Installation03:32
varun_do you think this is inappropriate?03:32
moetunes!dualboot03:33
ubottuDual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot03:33
varun_I liked the idea of a separate boot partition coz I might need to install another OS on my comp so then I will have 3 so I was preparing for it03:34
moetunessounds like you made things harder then they have to be - most linux os's have a bootloader which finds the os installs and you really don't have to do anyhting03:36
varun_In that case just advise me on what I need to do now coz I have read scary things about grub2.Initially when I had to install a dual boot I had ubuntu but then I did windows and lost the MBR but I had backed it up so I did the restore and I got the ubuntu back and then I had to edit the menu.lst with the Xp chainloader lines you see here to get the XP and now I have both.Now supposing I install version 10.4 and in the install process03:45
varun_I get the option of installing grub2 in hd0 and also hdmylinuxroot and if I do both then the MBR will forget again that I have a windows partition and then the problem is on ubuntu website they say the editing grub2 is much more difficult03:45
varun_I am sorry to make it so roundabout and unclear and thanks for your help03:48
varun_Is anyone here?03:59
bazhangyes04:00
varun_Thanks for the reply.04:02
varun_@bazhang could you solve the query for me which I pasted above?04:02
bazhangvarun_, you seem to be making it more complicated than it need be. simply use grub2 for the whole thing04:03
varun_I have just one question.In grub legacy earlier it did not have an option for loading the Windows OS at boot and as it is mentioned on ubuntu grub2 is difficult to edit and so what will I do if GRUB2 does not have that option?04:06
bazhangvarun_, quite the contrary, grub2 is not difficult to edit please have a look at the wiki for it04:06
varun_In that case I will try with grub2 but just to increase my knowledge the website I mentioned talks about having a separate \boot primary partition and have the VERY easy to edit grub legacy on it.What do youthink about that option?04:10
bazhangvarun_, which version of xubuntu04:10
varun_As I said I wanted to do this so later I can install a third OS on the same comp04:11
bazhangeasily done with grub204:11
varun_xubuntu 8.10 but that is just to get grub legacy04:11
varun_ok I will heed your advice now04:11
bazhangvarun_, that's not supported any longer. get a more recent version04:11
bazhang!eol04:11
ubottuEnd-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades04:11
varun_I know it is not and I just used to get legacy as I said, but I am now installing lucid lynx.Just so you understand me clear I have an extended partition with three logical ones and I will have / /home swap on this for lucid.I already have windows on a separate partition04:14
varun_So now if I install lucid then grub will get installed in hd0 and it will both the OS at boottime and I will be able to choose or Will I have to edit grub2 ?04:16
bazhanggrub2 will see the other OS and add it04:17
varun_ok great04:19
bazhangif you add another one later, it is easy to add as well (ie install another OS)04:19
varun_thanks @bazhang if everything goes well then I will be back to say thanks.Also should I erase the /boot partition04:19
bazhangvarun_, up to you, some like to have a 250mb or so separate boot partition; I'd say having a separate /home would be more key04:20
varun_I did not communicate properly sorry for that but what I meant is the current /boot partition is a Primary one and was placed for the specific purpose of using a chainloader for the other operating systems.What you mentioned ,I am guessing, is something like if I had two linux distros installed in two extended partitions then I can have each partition having just one \ or I can have each one of the extended ones as having \root \boot04:27
varun_and \home etc so there will be one \boot respectively in each one these extended04:27
gr8m8in linux it is / and /home04:29
gr8m8you don't need a separate /boot for the chainloader04:29
gr8m8grub does that well enough04:29
varun_k thanks and sorry about \04:31
varun_I will be back04:31

charlie-tcaSeems text is too big for the panel, maybe?18:43
hrwat 124 panel size I got most of icon (resized to fit vertically) + Men + half of u letter18:44
charlie-tcaOkay. out of ideas now. Give me a comment on the bug. I will push it upstream18:44
charlie-tcaAre the fonts on your desktop big?18:45
hrwno18:45
hrw6-8 size18:45
charlie-tcaOh, to change the menu name, right-click the word, left-click properties. change it from Xfce Menu to Application18:47
charlie-tcawell, Applications18:47
hrwnevermind what name is it is still same problem18:48

PisagorI am using xubuntu 10.1021:44
charlie-tcaThanks, hrw21:44
charlie-tcaPisagor, you mean you want to change the wallpaper color only?21:45

Pisagorit's currently white for the style i am using21:46
hrwhave a nice rest of day21:46
=== hrw is now known as hrw|gone
Pisagori want to keep the same style but just make a slight change on this.21:46
Pisagornot ChanServ , i mean charlie-tca -21:46
charlie-tcaThe only way I know of is to try different themes in Appearance21:46
charlie-tcaMost of the color is built into the theme21:47
Pisagorbut in different themes, not only the color but also everything else change21:47
charlie-tcayes, it does. but you can change fonts and icons back after changing themes21:47
Pisagorfonts and icons are alright, i want a different color for the theme....21:48
Sysimodify the theme21:48
Pisagorand i want just a background color to be different21:48
Pisagorit is not supposed to be so hard21:48
Pisagorcan't i do it by editing a file in somewhere...21:48
Sysifint themefile and edit it21:48
charlie-tcaIt is hard to do using Xfce21:49
Pisagorwhere are theme files21:49
Pisagori am not familiar with ubuntu, sorry21:49
Pisagorwhere can i find theme files21:49
Pisagorin what folder..21:49
Sysi/usr/share/themes/ or /home/$USER/.themes/21:49
Pisagorthank you, i will give a try now.21:50
Pisagorhmm there are more than one file in the folder of related theme. Do you have an idea which file should i try to edit ?21:51
Sysigtk-stuff21:51
Pisagorthis change will not require me to reboot, right ?21:52
Sysinot21:52
Pisagorthanks again.21:52
Pisagorone more question, if you let me21:54
Pisagorgtk_color_scheme = "fg_color:#202020\nbg_color:#EDEDED\nbase_color:#fff\ntext_color:#444\nselected_bg_color:#A9B7C4\nselected_fg_color:#333333\ntooltip_bg_color:#D6DCE4\ntooltip_fg_color:#222222"21:54
Pisagori only want to have a different global background color, so which line should i play with ?21:54
=== brot_away is now known as brot
Pisagorit is pure white that i want to change.21:56
Sysi#FFFFFF iirc21:56
moetuneschange the base_color21:57

Pisagoryou have been helpful.22:02
Pisagori just reconnected for saying this. Have a great day.22:03
taycountshello, I need some help with my xubuntu install, specifically transfer files between an xubuntu 10.10 netbook and a ubuntu 10.04 desktop.  I can transfer the files fine but the speeds are very very slow.  I am uncertain what is causing the slowdown.  Am I in the right place to find help?22:31
mark76Yes22:32
Sysidefine very slow, what kind of network22:34
taycountsI am not sure where to begin.... A few days ago I was running stock ubuntu on both my netbook and desktop.  I have since switched to xubuntu on my netbook.  Prior to my switch I was not having any trouble transfering large files (dvd .iso images) over the network.  If i remember correctly I was hitting just under 3MB/s.  Now when I gigolo and thunar to transfer the same files the transfer speed is unacceptably slow.  i have22:36
Sysicutted after "slow.  i have"22:37
taycounts this is my first time on irc, sorry if it shows22:38
taycounts  i have also tried streaming the video w/ vlc which can no longer play them in real time (i had no issues w/ this a few days ago).  I have also tried scp on the terminal and judging by the estimated transfer time this runs about twice as fast as gigolo and thunar will graphically.  Does anyone have any idea why xubuntu gui transfer over the network is so much slower than nautilus in ubuntu?22:38
knometaycounts, long messages are generally good, though when they get too long it becomes problematic. :)22:38
knome(and hi Sysi)22:39
knomenow, good night! ->22:39
taycountsi'll try to keep it at a few sentences, thanks22:39
jv__hi, doing dual monotior and the resolution always gets screw up.22:43
jv__What key at login do I hit to see the option to login to open box?22:43
jv__right now i only see my user name and have no option for language, other desktops, etc22:44
jv__10.0422:44
charlie-tcajv__, click or hit enter on your name22:44
charlie-tcaThen there should be more items in the bottom line22:44
jv__did that, problem is I don't have any icons at the bottom of the screen22:45
jv__I thought there was a combination or f+ key that would give me the desktop choice22:46
charlie-tcaAre you using GDM?22:46
jv__think so but have no idea atm, second plz22:47
jv__yes22:47
jv__ gdm22:47
charlie-tcaand you have no options after clicking on your name?22:48
jv__no, I mean, password..maybe install slim?22:48
jv__I am using dual monitor..with single works fine..how do i save my resolution settings to gdm?22:49
charlie-tcaThat would be a bug with dual monitors then22:49
jv__every time i login I have to run rand  (grandr) and set both my monitors resolution22:50
charlie-tcaThat would be a second bug then22:50
Sysiyou'll need xorg.conf propably22:50
Sysi(still almost funniest thing ever is that dualhead worked with nouveau out of box, exept that other monitor wasn't identified correctly because of adapter)22:53
jv__ok, xorg.conf is gone from /etc/X11.  so the idea is for me to  create one xorg.conf and add the lines just for the resolution,22:53
jv__what is nouveau?22:53
jv__not this one, i am using eeepc 1000H ;)22:54
charlie-tca!info nouveau22:54
ubottuPackage nouveau does not exist in maverick22:54
jv__rox with jack22:54
charlie-tcawell, anyway, it is the nvidia non-proprietary driver22:54
Sysinouveay is open driver for nvidia22:54
jv__10.4 here, jack does not work well in 10.10 for me22:54
jv__wel, I am using intel builtin chipset22:55
jv__will try to install slim and see how it  goes22:56
jv__tx22:56
taycounts....any idea why ssh transfers would be slower in xubuntu vs. ubuntu?  It seems to affect deja-dup, gigolo, vlc, nothing seems to be able to transfer over the network with any speed.23:03
Sysisame quality of connection?23:03
taycountsthe only thing that has changed is the os on my netbook.  I'm assuming it has something to do w/ gigolo vs. nautilus to access the desktop, but am uncertain.23:04
taycountsit had ubuntu 10.10 prior and now has xubuntu 10.1023:05
Sysiyou could try sshfs23:05
Sysiif you use wlan, it can be uncertain (i guess that for transfer speeds)23:05
taycountsgoogleing sshfs ( i am unfamiliar w/ it) right now.  will try plugging in to router and see if that has any effect23:07
