| danae | is pidgin or empathy better for video/audio on the googletalk protocol? | 15:32 |

| robertf | Hello | 16:07 |
| robertf | i've a problem to try xubuntu 11.04 (desktop). I downloaded the iso image. I can choose the language, the keyboard layout. After, there is a message "there was a problem reading data from cd-rom. Please make sure it is in the drive. | 16:08 |
| robertf | charlie-tca: no, i only copy these files initrd.gz, vmlinuz, from natty repository to usb drive and the natty-desktop-i386.iso | 16:08 |
| robertf | i only copy these files initrd.gz, vmlinuz, from natty repository to usb drive and the natty-desktop-i386.iso | 16:08 |
| robertf | i also created the syslinux.cfg and added default vmlinuz and append initrd=initrd.gz | 16:08 |
| Sysi | this is support channel for stable versions | 16:09 |
| Sysi | "alpha is not made to work" | 16:09 |
| charlie-tca | Wait... | 16:09 |
| robertf | Sysi: Where to ask the question? i asked to #xubuntu-devel | 16:09 |
| charlie-tca | robertf: is that today's image? | 16:09 |
| robertf | charlie-tca: yes it is | 16:09 |
| charlie-tca | Python 2.7 is being uploaded, and so is xfce4.7 with a lot of changes. They broke the images today | 16:10 |
| charlie-tca | It won't work for a few days | 16:10 |
| robertf | charlie daily-live (20101206 | 16:10 |
| charlie-tca | Sorry, Sysi. I sent robertf to the wrong place | 16:11 |
| Sysi | not problem for me actually | 16:11 |
| charlie-tca | Pretty sure we broke that one too | 16:11 |
| charlie-tca | robertf: can you try again when we get a good image back? | 16:11 |
| Sysi | so i'm not gonna install natty yet :P | 16:11 |
| robertf | is the method used good? | 16:12 |
| charlie-tca | I should tell you, Natty support is in #ubuntu+1, too | 16:12 |
| charlie-tca | I think so | 16:12 |
| robertf | the md5sum is correct | 16:12 |
| robertf | i checked it | 16:12 |
| charlie-tca | Sysi: I knew that, but I hate shuffling the people when I screw up | 16:12 |
| charlie-tca | robertf: that doesn't mean it will work yet | 16:12 |
| charlie-tca | Just that all the files it thinks it needs are there | 16:13 |
| robertf | charlie-tca: md5sum from natty-desktop-i386.iso from usb drive | 16:14 |
| robertf | 28f0ae55e78250fd526522aacce5b33c natty-desktop-i386.iso | 16:14 |
| robertf | it's the same as the MD5sum | 16:15 |
| charlie-tca | That means your download and the server file match, but that doesn't mean it can't be broken because the right files aren't there. | 16:15 |
| robertf | ok | 16:15 |
| charlie-tca | The installation won't boot if you get it to install, because it is broken | 16:15 |
| robertf | charlie-tca: ok | 16:16 |
| charlie-tca | sorry | 16:16 |
| robertf | i will try without install | 16:16 |
| charlie-tca | Okay | 16:16 |
| robertf | when i boot, i can't choose to try without install | 16:17 |
| robertf | directly, it's the install menu to choose the language | 16:17 |
| robertf | is it better to try it later when the beta1 will be available? | 16:17 |
| charlie-tca | Yes, It would be better to wait at least until the daily image is updated to the current date. | 16:19 |
| charlie-tca | with all the changes happening right now, it is broken. | 16:19 |
| robertf | ok, thank for you help | 16:20 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 16:21 |
| balsaq | good morning | 16:31 |
| charlie-tca | Good morning | 16:35 |
| agentgasmask | Hi guys. I have a server that is at 8.04. How can I upgrade this? | 16:37 |
| Sysi | sudo do-release-upgrade | 16:38 |
| Sysi | make up-to-date backups | 16:38 |
| charlie-tca | You can upgrade 8.04 directly to 10.04 | 16:39 |
| agentgasmask | Yeah, can you? | 16:39 |
| charlie-tca | http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 16:40 |
| agentgasmask | that works for xubuntu too? | 16:41 |
| charlie-tca | yes. this might be better - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades | 16:42 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu uses the same upgrade procedures as Ubuntu | 16:42 |
| agentgasmask | ok, cool | 16:42 |
| agentgasmask | I have a mdadm raid 5 array, are there any percautions I should take? | 16:43 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 16:43 |
| charlie-tca | backup | 16:43 |
| charlie-tca | read all the release notes, read all the stuff about upgrading safely | 16:44 |
| agentgasmask | from the link you gave me? | 16:44 |
| charlie-tca | both of those links and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes | 16:45 |
| agentgasmask | ok, thanks | 16:45 |
| agentgasmask | when you say backup, is it more important to backup the system settings or the actual data on the array? | 16:46 |
| Sysi | what do you want to save | 16:46 |
| agentgasmask | Well, I mean, what is at risk of being corupted? | 16:47 |
| agentgasmask | or rather, can the array be mounted on a fresh install if the system goes down? | 16:48 |
| charlie-tca | If the upgrade destroys the array, what do you need to make sure got saved? | 16:49 |
| agentgasmask | Ah, I see... So backup it all. :) I guess that is always the answer. | 16:49 |
| pteague_work | is there a way to get specific windows to load in a certain position every time? i.e. i like having kdesvn in the upper right corner | 18:53 |
| TheSheep | pteague_work: check out the devilspie | 18:56 |
| charlie-tca | pteague_work: yes, using devilspie, it can be done | 18:56 |
| * charlie-tca too slow | 18:56 | |
| TheSheep | I never know if it's devil's pie or devil spie | 18:57 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know | 18:57 |
| TheSheep | I suppose there is no such word as spie | 18:57 |
| charlie-tca | but it works! | 18:57 |

| pteague_work | TheSheep & charlie-tca, awesome, thank you... now to configure stuff :) | 19:18 |
| pteague_work | hmm... i'm not overly familiar with s-expressions... how do you create comments? | 19:25 |
| charlie-tca | semi-colon ; in front of the statement makes it a comment | 19:27 |
| alex88 | hi guys.. what are the min specs for xubuntu? | 19:31 |
| alex88 | i'm used with ubuntu but my father has a old athlon 1800 laptop | 19:31 |
| alex88 | oh found them :) | 19:32 |
| pteague_work | i think the worst box i've run xfce on is a 100mhz or 133mhz with 256mb of ram, but that was a while ago | 20:20 |
| charlie-tca | I could see that as s-l-o-w | 20:24 |
| charlie-tca | My 400MHz PII with 128MB ram is a bit rough, too | 20:24 |
| Sysi | 900MHz 512MB netbook runs like a charm | 20:26 |
| charlie-tca | I would think so. Even the 400MHz with 512 works nicely | 20:27 |
| pteague_work | yeah, well it was the '90s & my previous desktop at the time... | 20:45 |
| pteague_work | hmm... i'm getting the error message "contains expects two string arguments" from http://pastebin.com/sqgCGaiD & not sure what the issue is... i used gdevilspie to initially generate the 'contains' & then modified it based on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Devilspie to do the 2nd part | 20:47 |
| charlie-tca | why is line 6 not the same as 12? | 20:50 |
| charlie-tca | Or perhaps, I should say, I think you have to have two separate files for this | 20:53 |
| charlie-tca | otherwise, you need the (if (and or (if (or on two lines for it to use both statements | 20:58 |
| charlie-tca | devilspie is kind of a mean thing to learn syntax for | 20:59 |
| === Thermi_ is now known as Thermi | ||
| pteague_work | charlie-tca, hmm... ok, was kind of basing it off of the pidgin.ds example on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Devilspie | 21:36 |
| charlie-tca | heh, the fun of it all :-) | 21:37 |
| charlie-tca | Took me about 3 months to learn what did work | 21:37 |
| pteague_work | & 6 & 12 are different so i know which 1 it actually matched... the ' - kdesvn' is if it already has a svn path opened it will have something like 'file:///home/.../trunk - kdesvn' ... as opposed to just 'kdesvn' if it's opened without a path/bookmark | 21:39 |
| AlphaOne | hello | 21:41 |
| AlphaOne | I'm trying to install the "Broadcom B43Legacy wireless driver" on my new install of Xubuntu and its saying "Sorry, installation of this driver failed. Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log" | 21:42 |
| charlie-tca | And did you look in /var/log/jockey.log ? | 21:43 |
| pteague_work | charlie-tca, well dang... i completely commented out the 2nd if & it's still giving me the "contains expects two string arguments" error :( | 21:44 |
| charlie-tca | wierd | 21:46 |
| pteague_work | hmm... man page shows "(contains haystack needle)"... & considering i know i have the 1 string quoted so that's existing... would that mean that "( window_xid )" is not a valid variable? | 21:47 |
| charlie-tca | possible | 21:53 |
| charlie-tca | I can't find it either | 21:53 |

| === apostrophe is now known as Guest83523 | ||
| pteague_work | other wireless networks? | 22:15 |
| Guest83523 | other wireless networks, yes | 22:15 |
| charlie-tca | pteague: and it works? | 22:15 |
| charlie-tca | Can't you have two rules in two files? | 22:15 |
| pteague_work | try the "connect to hidden wireless" option | 22:15 |
| pteague_work | charlie-tca, yeah, i have 2 different files... the other just checks for "kdesvn" & doesn't bother with the not matches part | 22:16 |
| Guest83523 | ptleague: I did, but then I don't know what kind of 'passkey' to use? I know that I use WEP, and I tried both WEP options (128-bit passphrase +128-bit key) and it doesn't connect. | 22:16 |
| Guest83523 | any other suggestions | 22:18 |
| pteague_work | not sure, i've not had that issue before | 22:21 |
| Guest83523 | aw man | 22:22 |
| Guest83523 | sucks | 22:22 |
| Guest83523 | any way to change the title bar color? it's using the standard light blue right now. | 22:24 |
| knome | Guest83523, change the xfwm theme | 22:25 |
| Guest83523 | found it and thank you. | 22:29 |

| Guest83523 | It says a connection is established with my wireless network, but I can't browse the internet. | 22:42 |
| Guest83523 | Ah, it's frustrating. I'm disappointed cause it looks like I'll have to jump back on windows | 22:43 |
| knome | Guest83523, do you have a router - could you check if your connection shows up there? | 22:44 |
