[00:12] later fella's [00:19] and THAT is why I want to ditch Windows >.< [00:43] Quick question. What does GNOME use for sound that xfce (and lxde) does not? Had GNOME, installed xfce and lxde. Sound works fine in gnome not in the other two. ALSA settings OK, finds soundcard, nothing muted, pulseaudio is started and running [00:44] I also tried eSound insted of pulseaudo, still nothing [00:45] You have to turn it on in Xubuntu [00:45] gnome does it by default [00:45] !sound [00:45] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3.

[03:53] via [03:53] in the laptop [03:53] psycho_oreos, ty for replying [03:53] freebird, weird, kernel isn't found could mean that there was something wrong with the installation [03:53] nw [03:54] knome, hey bro [03:54] mustafa, well according to lshw output the dvdr device isn't detected [03:54] what shall ı do [03:54] mustafa, try to use another laptop/computer or some external dvd drive [03:55] it works in wista [03:55] there might be an option of disabling acpi via grub [03:55] psycho_oreos, thats what i thought i redid it 3 times and it does same thing i'm mind boggled about if kernal not there it shouldn't boot [03:55] reformatted [03:56] it works everywhere but not in xubuntu [03:56] do ı have to buy onother dvdr [03:56] freebird, well, if grub is installed, you get grub bootloader that's standard process, but for kernel to go missing could either mean it wasn't installed properly or somehow grub got the wrong config line for kernel [03:56] mustafa, you could try disabling acpi to see if it helps [03:56] how can ı disable it [03:57] you need to edit the grub.cfg file iirc and append noacpi into kernel line [03:57] ok [03:57] ok i'll google how to do that [03:57] can you write this [03:57] in terminal [03:57] psycho_oreos, ty [03:58] massage [03:58] freebird, nw [03:58] sudo gedit grup.cfg iüs ok :D [03:59] its not grup.cfg [03:59] and it sits in a different location: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [04:00] can you write it to me [04:02] ...

I'd like it down to 100GB. [07:34] hi all [08:47] cinmoon: it's propably fragmented [11:44] can anyone recommend a good distribution thing, that I can dedicate usage of a computer too? [11:44] the ones where they use the idle time to work on new stuff [11:46] something like folding@home ? [11:48] not following you bud [11:48] boinc? [11:48] yes [11:49] just pick one [11:49] renderfarm or something [11:49] there are so many, I want it to be a good cause :) [11:50] "good" is dependant on you [11:50] not really lol [11:50] it is [11:50] but yeah, but you know what I mean [11:51] xubuntu is low-spwc thing, we don't know how to led extra we don't have :P [11:51] is there no xubuntu thing I can dedicate it too? [12:00] a list of boinc projects - http://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php [12:47] I'm trying to install xubuntu on a machine, it boots to the cd and presents me with a menu, I can navigate it, but nothing happens when I press enter, enter works in other parts of the menu like language selection though. [12:54] what socket type would a P4 Dual Core be? [12:57] pentium 4 dualcore? WTF [12:58] that's the pentium D iirc so it is socket 775 [13:01] ty [13:01] 775 is right :) [13:02] is it possible to get a 775 board that will take DDR3? [13:02] I doubt it [13:05] Ycarene: for how long? have you tried couple times and and checked the cd [13:06] Yeah, the cd works fine of a different machine. [13:06] I'm trying to set up a "new" machine that I've acquired. [13:06] It's probably the computer, but I wanted to see if there was a known issue first before scrapping the project. [13:07] checked it using a different live cd? [13:07] I could try an arch linux cd I have laying around, one sec. [13:08] woot Archlinux :) [13:56] will xubuntu 10.10 run well on: AMD Barton 2500+ and 1.25GB DDR RAM? [13:56] better or worse than: Intel C700 1.6Ghz and 1GB DDR2 RAM? [14:00] is there any bench marking software out there? [14:00] my guess is it would be better [14:01] should run well on either one of those [14:02] I am currently running on the later spec'd so [14:02] but I have the parts for the first spec'd just laying around [14:03] but its the AMD vs INTEL question and the difference not only in the amount of RAM but the different types of RAM also [14:05] I want to do something really crazy lol, I have too much time and too many parts just laying idle, I need a project that is just whacky :) [14:06] gentoo [14:06] gentoo? I heard the name but thats about it [14:06] !gentoo [14:06] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [14:07] they have great installation manual, tens of pages. Already sorry for offtopic [14:12] offtopic a tad, but its dead in here.... still sitting waiting a question :) [14:21] Sysi: how would gentoo be a crazy project? [14:22] see that installation manual [14:44] MorphixNW, start working with xfce :P [14:46] WoW :D (wouldn't run on that) [14:46] :-) [15:09] I have been googling without much success.... I am looking for a good guide to help me install ubuntu from usb [15:09] menu -> system → create starup disk [15:09] *startup [15:11] awesome thats what I wanted to hear [15:11] hmmm only I dont have that option in System [15:12] sorry, yes I do its just called something slightly different [15:12] "Startup Disk Creator" [15:13] There is also http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2008/11/07/ubuntu-from-your-flash-drive-easier-than-ever-before/ [15:14] charlie-tca: perfect thank you [15:26] hello [15:26] hey ShootEmUp [15:26] whats up?

[15:27] PIII 1000Mhz and 512MB SDRAM [15:28] yup, right on the borderline between ubuntu & xubuntu [15:28] it had a Celeron 700 in it earlier, but I got tons of parts so I beefed it up some [15:28] you could go either way with no problems [15:28] well I am heading for Xubuntu-Alternative-10.10 [15:29] good idea [15:29] :) [15:29] what kind of internet? wireless or wired> [15:29] wired [15:29] so should be a breeze [15:30] onboard NIC, Video and Sound [15:30] yup, only thing is video card. should work but they do have issues sometimes [15:30] scrach that [15:30] if this "startup disk creator" turns out as easy as it should, well, I got lots more machine to bring back to life [15:31] you installing via USB drive? [15:31] yes, no CDROM [15:32] problems with that method? [15:32] Okay, just make sure it can, My can but you have to go to the boot selector to do it [15:32] hmm good point [15:32] havent checked that yet [15:32] Does it have a floppy drive? [15:33] nope, once upon a time it had a CDROM, but it was none standard (laptop drive) so the connector is not IDE [15:33] usb? [15:34] yes [15:34] put the distro on a usb key and boot :D [15:34] What OS is on it right now?
