[01:41] hi i have something weird that keeps flashing when i start up. after i log in this program keeps flashing on and off really fast. when im able to catch it.. it says "username" in a small box [06:40] Well either my lubuntu is broken or I have hardware failure. Continual rebooting just after it gets out of bios. [06:47] It's ok, I found the problem. Memory test has 100k errors and counting [06:48] :D [06:52] It's all DDR ram, fingers crossed I only loose 1 stick as this stuff is expensive :/ [06:52] :D [06:52] I can tell you: RAM is almost free if it's not RDRAM or something else rare stuff [06:52] but DDR is almost free [06:53] bioterror: how so? The only source for it I have is ebay [12:53] good morning... just trying out lubuntu but I'm having trouble finding where to configure the taskbar settings; the font used is *huge* [12:54] tzanger: I'd tell you but my ram died this afternoon in my Lubuntu machine. It should be something like right clicking it and going into settings though. [12:55] yeah I'm poking around... so far no dice [12:56] same with assigning a shortcut to an application, in KDE it was the system menu where this was done [12:57] What sort of shortcut [12:57] well I typically assign alt-` to bringing up konsole [12:57] oh [12:57] it still works [12:57] I wonder what happened, it wasn't working when I started the system [13:02] So is this a fresh Lubuntu or lxde over another installation [13:12] it's kubuntu with lubuntu-desktop installed and set as default [13:12] Ah ok, I'm not exactly sure how Lubuntu handles shortcuts though [13:13] Better Mkaysi? [13:13] Yes MrChrisDruif [13:13] :D [13:13] I'll kick my other account... [13:14] msg ChanServ ghost ? [13:14] I see the font thing is done this way on purpose (auto-scaling) [13:14] it's an option in a new version (not out yet) [13:15] so /msg ChanServ ghost with my other account? [13:51] Mkaysi: ^ [13:51] ? [13:52] Mkaysi: so /msg ChanServ ghost with my other account? To release the other name? [13:52] MrChrisDruif: To kick your other account out of network /msg nickserv ghost ChrisDruif [13:53] Alright....need to switch a few more channels to the new name :P === Freejack is now known as Guest50515 [14:26] is there any magic involved in kopete's notifications animating its system tray entry/highlighting the taskbar item like with plasma? [14:26] nothing animates, I see no notification of incoming messages [14:27] kopete's still set to do what it always did, but nothing in the system tray animates [14:32] You are using Lubuntu, right? [14:32] tzanger: ^ [14:32] MrChrisDruif: correct [14:33] Just making sure, seeing Kopete is KDE's messenger... [14:33] But you see no notification at all or just no animation? [14:36] gtg, sorry tzanger :) [14:46] hello [14:49] goodbye === Mkaysi is now known as botnet === botnet is now known as Mkaysi [16:54] hello [16:54] I need some help with logging in, anyone available to give an hand please? [16:57] anyone, please? [16:57] Logging in to what? [16:58] probably livecd doesnt boot into desktop [16:58] and doesnt accept any passwords [16:58] I cannot log in from the splash screen anymore on my Lubuntu 10.04 installation [16:59] Can you log into another desktop session? [16:59] I insert username and pwd, a grey screen appears and then back to the splash screen [16:59] no [16:59] I tried all desktop session [17:00] the failsafe command line startup still works [17:00] Have you tried deleting .Xauthority from a tty? [17:00] mmmm [17:00] I would I do that? [17:01] That's in the home directory [17:01] Good question [17:01] I don't know the command for delete [17:01] Is is del? [17:01] ok I'll have a look and come back to you [17:01] I'll try from the command line [17:02] rm is command [17:02] That's the one :D [17:02] rm -f [17:02] no? [17:03] Yeah [17:03] :) [17:03] ok I'll try now [17:03] rm -f ~/.Xauthority [17:05] I cancelled Xauthority but still unable to log in [17:06] Weird [17:06] Which DM are you using? [17:07] sorry, what do you mean by DM? [17:08] ah desktop manager, sure [17:08] eheheh [17:08] GDM?.. KDM?.. LXDM?.. [17:08] SLiM?.. LightDM?.. [17:08] LXDE [17:09] Are you using LXDM? [17:09] yes [17:10] That's when you log in [17:10] yes, it's LXDM, just made a quick search [17:10] Hmm. I'm using that as well [17:11] What session options do you have? [17:13] Lubuntu, Lubuntu Netbook, Openbox, KDE/Openbox, GNOME/Openbox [17:13] And the Openbox sessions don't work? [17:14] no [17:14] none of them [17:15] Weird === Freejack is now known as Guest53190 [17:15] Try installing GDM and using that [17:15] ok [17:16] although the weird thing is that the installation has always worked flawlessly until today [17:16] Well at least if you install GDM you can see if it's the session/desktop manager that's at fault [17:17] ok [17:17] any idea on how I could install it from command line? [17:18] sudo apt-get install gdm [17:19] ok I'll have to try with my LAN cable [17:19] Okay [17:19] can't do that now unfortunately [17:19] one question [17:19] I see there's a Xauthority in the /root folderm, too [17:20] will it make a big difference to delete it? [17:21] Might do [17:22] Try it [17:22] just tried, and deleted the new Xauthority in the home folder, too, but to no avail [17:23] hmmmm [17:24] Okay try deleting .xsessions [17:24] oki will do [17:24] hey [17:24] before you continue installling removing anything [17:25] would you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log [17:25] if there's any errors [17:25] oki [17:25] !pastebin | andy [17:25] andy: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [17:26] which command shall I use? [17:26] cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log [17:26] or less [17:26] which one suits you [17:26] (I don't have any .xsessions, just searched with find -name) [17:26] I'm going to have dinner [17:26] BBL [17:27] ok [17:27] thanks a lot [17:27] for your time and help [17:28] the log is extremely long [17:28] and I can't copy and paste [17:28] anything in particular I should look for? [17:30] is there any errors [17:31] anyone encounter lxpanel not animating systray icons? kopete and dropbox's icons animate, but not in lxdm [17:31] no [17:31] no error [17:31] (this is on a kubunutu 10.10 desktop that I installed lubuntu-desktop on, then rebooted to use lxdm) [17:31] andy, sudo cat /var/log/lxdm.log is there anything? [17:32] no it looks fine [17:37] can you log in from the safe mode and use internet? [17:37] no [17:39] found posting with same problem [17:40] interesting [17:42] your passowrd doesnt have any spaces? [17:42] password [17:42] no [17:43] no spaces [17:44] cat ~/.xsession-errors [17:44] does that say something [17:45] it's empty [17:45] hi gilir, we are having a problem with login. right after inputting username and password it flashes grey screen and returns to lxdm login screen [17:46] bioterror, I know, it's actually 2 bugs [17:46] on 10.04? [17:46] no, on 11.04 [17:47] this is on 10.04 [17:47] since when ? [17:47] since today [17:47] yesterday was working fine [17:48] and I've never had any problem with the installation [17:48] I didn't install any package yesterday, either [17:48] andy cat /etc/lxdm/default.conf [17:48] is the session line /usr/bin/startlubuntu [17:49] yes it's there [17:49] if it means anything [17:49] there's nothing under [server] [17:50] well it's commented off [17:50] ok [17:51] Hello, I am a returning LXDE user, just installed Lubuntu, 10.04, it is very nice. [17:53] gilir, do you get anything in mind. xorg.0.log seems to not tell us nothing, .xsession-errors is empty [17:53] one thing is to install gdm to solve this problem, but it wont fix the lxdm [17:53] check the /var/log/auth.log [17:55] eveything seems to be fine [17:55] in auth.log [17:57] gotta put kids to bed, bbl [17:57] thanks bioterror [17:57] does it make any sense at all? [17:57] is it possible that the problem is going on because I ran out of space on the partition? [17:57] Is it working yet? [17:58] no mark76 [17:58] Ah [17:58] How many partitions have you got? [17:58] two [17:58] win and lubuntu [17:58] the lubuntu one is basically full [17:59] Could you make it bigger? [17:59] no but I could get rid of some stuff [18:00] ok last try before I go [18:00] Okay [18:01] yeah!!! [18:01] just worked by freeing up some space on the partition [18:02] I saw that in auth.log there was a mention about the system being unable on keyring because of disk being full [18:03] being unable to write [18:03] ok [18:03] thanks a lot to everyone for the help and the time [18:03] I really appreciated it [18:04] keep up with the fab work on the distro!!! [18:05] bye bye [18:13] Someone needs a bigger hard drive [18:13] ;) [18:13] What size? :P [18:13] 40 mB?? :P [18:15] * MichealH has the hard drive space of a nibble :P [18:15] * MichealH hides [18:17] How would I know? [18:26] mark76: Cos it runs windows 2.0 :P [18:26] Does it? [18:26] haah [18:27] No! :P [18:27] Of course the Hard drive of a nibble runs worm :P [18:27] Bad joke :P [18:27] * MichealH shuts up [18:34] hahaha [18:34] gotta remember, full hd [18:36] hi all [18:36] I have a Netgear/Marvel wireless card, do I need the Windows 2000 drivers for it ? it is the 833reva one. [18:37] I removed the superflous language packs and a few apps, plus the modem stuff... is there something else I can safely lose to save a few megs? [18:39] kristian-aalborg, rm -rf /usr/share/man/* :D [18:39] you get easily 22MB ;D [18:40] you dont need man pages, as long as you got IRC [18:40] ":D" [18:43] I have a PCI Marvell Technology Grp. Ltd. 88w835 [Libertas] 802.11 b/g Wireless (rev 03) device , is there a compatible or working driver for it ? [18:43] Lubuntu 10.04 [18:44] does lspci or lsusb see it? [18:45] bioterror: It did, once [18:45] lspci , it is a PCI dongle [18:45] sudo lshw -c network [18:46] Thank you. [18:46] can we see it [18:47] bioterror: Is there a pastebin for this channel? [18:48] !pastebin | gnewb [18:48] gnewb: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [18:50] bioterror: http://paste.ubuntu.com/555513/ [18:50] unclaimed :o [18:51] I am hardwired now, could not get it to locate the wifi earlier. [18:51] hahaha [18:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/mrv8k it's ndiswrapper case [18:52] bioterror: Thank you. [18:52] not a bad case at all [18:53] All I need is the inf? [18:53] seems so [18:54] niiiiiiiiiiiiice [18:54] HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found [18:54] thanks for teh broken link [18:54] http://people.freebsd.org/~wpaul/marvell/mrv8335.inf [18:54] On pastebin? [18:55] I was checking that guide [18:55] wget that .inf [18:56] That does make better sense, I was uncertain if it was in the repos or not. [18:57] Let me install and play with this old Wireless card...Thank you kindly for the assistance. [19:08] I was actually thinking of removing some documentation/examples, [19:09] oops, sitting in an awkward angle to keyboard... end of sentence was "but all man pages seems a bit too much" [19:26] I have 60 megs or so left now of the 2 gigs... leaves very little space for the end user... it's not that lubuntu is big at all by modern standards [19:42] kristian-aalborg: you *can* fit lubuntu onto 2GB, but you are really pushing the limits of even lubuntu. The live install as per a usb device would leave a bit more space for user space, but with price of hard drives and usb sticks these days - a little bit more is better :) [19:43] kristian-aalborg: I have a 2GB usb stick, and it leaves me a reasonable abount of free space with lubuntu on it [19:44] it is known, with ubuntu as 2.3GB hell, fortunately lubuntu is a slimmer than ubuntu is. [19:52] kristian-aalborg: on my 2GB stick, I have 1.2GB of user space [19:52] are you running lubuntu? [19:52] or what [20:09] yes, lubuntu 10.10 [20:09] phillw: strange thing is, the installation failed so I had to do some creative things to start and clean up the install - then it ran fine [20:10] I think it is awesome to give a complete system, with multimedia players and everything, in that amount of space [20:13] kristian-aalborg: the golden rule is md5 checksum the install media https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/CheckCD Else you can yourself up the creek without a paddle. [20:14] *you can find yourself* [20:22] I did that, it was fine [20:23] or to be specific, I md5'd the ISO, then used unetbootin to put it on the usb [20:24] kristian-aalborg: did you then check the usb? [20:28] no, don't know how to do that [20:28] just md5sum /media/usb ? [20:30] kristian-aalborg: give me a moment... [20:33] dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=2048 count=279303 | md5sum Is the one for cd's, you would replace the /dev/cdrom with where your usb is mounted [20:34] but you should have 'check the cd' available on a usb boot. [20:34] that runs okay with 10.10 [20:40] ah, of course... did not think that far [20:41] doing that now... [20:42] "check disk for defects", that is [20:42] no errors found, yay [20:42] kristian-aalborg: it's why checking the install media is SO important :) [20:43] yes, I've had it go wrong on me dozens of times... I can heartily recommend K3B for cd [20:45] kristian-aalborg: as you have a working system, we can catch up later - I'm being called to other teams, ping me if you get stuck and I'll return, but there are people more into the inside of lubuntu than I am. [20:46] kristian-aalborg: Hi, (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phillw) is an admin person, wiki stuff, tidying up stuff creating new entries. Passionate about Lubuntu (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu), Accessibility (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Team) and UBT (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam) Also familiar with LAMP and web stuff. [20:47] kristian-aalborg: if drop into #ubuntu-offtopic you can have a general chat about stuff. [20:47] I sent you an invite earlier [20:47] * phillw #lubuntu-offtopic !!!! [20:49] I'm off to bed anyway, so no prob phillw [20:50] thanks for helping out, see y'all later
