| welshmen | is any one familiar with backtrack? | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| bazhang | welshmen, people in backtrack support: #backtrack-linux | 00:14 |
| welshmen | when using GParted do i use it at boot or load an OS and run it from there? | 01:41 |
| xGrind | welshmen; ??? | 01:46 |
| xGrind | live-cd | 01:47 |
| bazhang | welshmen, you are on backtrack? | 01:47 |
| welshmen | yeah DL'd it and burned it to a disc but won't boot when the Computer starts | 01:47 |
| welshmen | no but that's what i'm tring to install along with ubuntu and windows 7 | 01:48 |
| bazhang | welshmen, and its not supported here; try #backtrack-linux as I suggested | 01:48 |
| welshmen | and they told me for Gparted partitioning that you guys would know more about it | 01:49 |
| welshmen | i don't want to upset anyone it just won't load | 01:49 |
| bazhang | welshmen, who is they? if this is backtrack we are talking about then you need to seek their support | 01:50 |
| welshmen | i want to create a partition using Gparted | 01:51 |
| bazhang | then boot from the gparted livecd and do so | 01:51 |
| welshmen | it won't boot thats what i'm asking do i need to load an OS or does it boot with the pc | 01:52 |
| bazhang | gparted live cd wont load? | 01:53 |
| welshmen | if ino goes right to a bootmgr | 01:53 |
| welshmen | bypasses the cd | 01:53 |
| welshmen | i've made two on two different pc's | 01:54 |
| kuatoAR | Hello ! greetings from Argentina | 03:29 |
| kuatoAR | i need help @_@ | 03:29 |
| bazhang | with what kuatoAR | 03:31 |
| ball | Is Xubuntu smaller (in terms of disk requirement) than Gnome Ubuntu? | 03:33 |
| kuatoAR | it is an small problem, but I'm new on Xubuntu. Iv'e installed Xubuntu 10.10 and one of my drives is not listed in "places" | 03:34 |
| kuatoAR | do i need to edit fstab ? | 03:34 |
| ball | kuatoAR: what kind of drive is it and what filesystems does it contain? | 03:34 |
| bazhang | kuatoAR, that would be a good idea yes | 03:35 |
| kuatoAR | It is a fat32 hard drive with XP | 03:35 |
| kuatoAR | fdisk -l shows me that it is recognized as /dev/sda os /dev/sd1 | 03:36 |
| kuatoAR | but i can't access to the drive | 03:38 |
| kuatoAR | I can see the drive using Gigolo, but not access to it | 03:39 |
| kuatoAR | well it seems that now i can ! hahah | 03:40 |
| kuatoAR | But how do i add the launcher to places ? | 03:40 |
| bazhang | edit the places menu? | 03:40 |
| ball | I'll be back later. | 03:41 |
| welshmen | can't get VMware to install any ideas, post comes up and says not been able to detect the character encoding??? | 03:44 |
| bazhang | welshmen, why not use vbox? | 03:45 |
| welshmen | is it easier to get installed? | 03:45 |
| bazhang | yes | 03:46 |
| welshmen | vbox | 03:46 |
| bazhang | correct | 03:46 |
| * ball <- downloading Xubuntu 10.10. | 05:37 | |
| randomus1r | hi | 06:24 |
| randomus1r | I installed 'xubuntu-desktop', what command do I use to start gui session now? | 06:25 |
| ball | randomus1r: Have you tried "xfce-session" or just "startx" ? | 06:28 |
| * ball <- doesn't know | 06:28 | |
| randomus1r | cmd not dound ; xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory) | 06:29 |
| randomus1r | s/d/f/ | 06:29 |
| ball | I don't know then. Perhaps it depends on something like Xdm. | 06:34 |
| ball | I'm exhausted. | 06:42 |
| ball | Goodnight all. | 06:42 |
| Sysi | randomus1r: i think you should have gdm installed as dependency | 07:17 |
| Sysi | if you don't want to reboot, 'sudo service gdm start' | 07:18 |
| randomus1r | Sysi, | 07:54 |
| randomus1r | i'm vncing to ubuntu hardy server edition | 07:55 |
| randomus1r | i have installed xubuntu-desktop there | 07:55 |
| randomus1r | i need to know what to run upon the vnc connection to get the gui | 07:55 |
| Sysi | sorry, i've only used vnc with already started session | 07:56 |
| randomus1r | so you probably know its config | 07:56 |
| Sysi | how do you even make that connection before logging in? | 07:56 |
| randomus1r | ~/.vnc/xstartup | 07:56 |
| randomus1r | er | 07:56 |
| randomus1r | i run ' vnc4server :2 ' at server | 07:57 |
| Sysi | is that file like ~/.xinitrc? | 07:57 |
| randomus1r | then i connect using vncviewer from client side | 07:57 |
| randomus1r | i have no ~/.xinitrc | 07:57 |
| Sysi | i'm just wondering if it works the same way | 07:57 |
| Sysi | you could try putting 'startxfce4' there | 07:58 |
| randomus1r | # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: | 07:58 |
| randomus1r | # unset SESSION_MANAGER | 07:58 |
| randomus1r | # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc | 07:58 |
| randomus1r | i uncommented those | 07:58 |
| Sysi | so you need to create xinitrc | 07:59 |
| Sysi | google propably knows better than me | 07:59 |
| Sysi | oh wait, /etc, there might be something already | 08:00 |
| randomus1r | http://dpaste.org/7XE9/ is the /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file contents | 08:01 |
| randomus1r | /etc is a directory | 08:01 |
| Sysi | i know | 08:02 |
| Sysi | i noticed it's about system-wine, not in your /home | 08:03 |
| Sysi | that Xinitrc looks quite complicated script but i guss it "just works", you could try uncomenting line launching it | 08:05 |
| daniel | some thing going wrong at update | 12:07 |
| daniel | Requires installation of untrusted packages | 12:08 |
| daniel | anyone? | 12:09 |
| knome | daniel, you can try another server | 12:10 |
| daniel | knome ? how | 12:10 |
| knome | daniel, in synaptic, see settings -> repositories | 12:11 |
| knome | daniel, but you are right, having untrusted packages shouldn't happen | 12:11 |
| bazhang | daniel, you have some PPA in there? please pastebin your sources.list | 12:12 |
| daniel | I still dont see the synaptic but I will as I find | 12:13 |
| daniel | bazhang, where is the sources.list found | 12:16 |
| bazhang | /etc/apt/sources.list | 12:16 |
| daniel | There is nothing in that file | 12:17 |
| daniel | lil slow here | 12:19 |
| daniel | http://paste.ubuntu.com/561894/ | 12:21 |
| bazhang | daniel, which repo is untrusted? extras.ubuntu.com ? | 12:23 |
| daniel | bazhang, where will it say that? | 12:25 |
| bazhang | daniel, what is the precise error you get. please pastebin it | 12:26 |

| bazhang | daniel, pastebin not here | 12:28 |
| bazhang | ugh | 12:28 |
| bazhang | daniel, there's no error there | 12:28 |
| daniel | those shouldnt be extras | 12:29 |
| daniel | that was it | 12:29 |
| daniel | Requires installation of untrusted packages | 12:29 |
| daniel | The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. | 12:29 |
| Sysi | ppa:s in use? | 12:33 |
| bazhang | daniel, well you can risk it, or verify the gpg | 12:33 |
| bazhang | !gpgerr | daniel | 12:33 |
| bazhang | ubottu, lag | 12:33 |
| === leoquant is now known as Guest69629 | ||
| ubottu | daniel: Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories? Find the GPG keyword for the repository (it's 437D05B5 for the standard ones) and run « sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com <key> » | 12:33 |
| ubottu | You have lag, I don't have lag | 12:33 |
| daniel | what is custom?? | 12:34 |
| bazhang | daniel, just try the standard one | 12:35 |
| knome | daniel, 'sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 437D05B5' in terminal | 12:35 |
| daniel | knome that is already in the trusted sources | 12:38 |
| bazhang | perhaps in sources.list.d then | 12:41 |
| daniel | bazhang, that is the file I was saying was empty | 12:43 |
| bazhang | daniel, sounds like you added some repos that are not showing up in regular sources.list thus the need to check sources.list.d | 12:45 |
| bazhang | daniel, cd into the directory and see whats in there | 12:45 |
| daniel | bazhang, I will do that but this is rather a plain build | 12:47 |
| bazhang | daniel, so no tweaks, or the like. 100% standard repos and packages? | 12:47 |
| daniel | except nvidia but pretty plain | 12:48 |
| daniel | cd and nothing is there /etc/apt/sources.list.d$ | 12:52 |
| daniel | does the same after re adding the key as mentioned | 13:00 |
| daniel | all this is happening from the update prompt or update manager( pop up | 13:03 |

| welshmen | can someone be kind enough to put a link for backtrack | 19:17 |
| welshmen | can any one help with driver installs? | 19:23 |
| welshmen | is anyone on?? | 19:27 |
| TheSheep | no | 19:27 |
| TheSheep | just us, mice | 19:28 |
| welshmen | blind mice?? | 19:30 |
| TheSheep | no, fat mice | 19:30 |
| welshmen | then i'm in the right place | 19:30 |
| TheSheep | if you ask any non-rhetorical question someone who knows the answer might say it | 19:30 |
| TheSheep | (not that I know what "backtrack" is) | 19:30 |
| welshmen | well i would hope that people in here could help me with to most of them would be a simple answer | 19:30 |
| welshmen | i can't install drivers in this ver. of linux and as i follow tut.s i get errors | 19:31 |
| welshmen | and can't find anything useful about the erroes | 19:31 |
| TheSheep | why didn't you just use the system->additional drivers dialog? | 19:31 |
| TheSheep | it's not finding what you need? | 19:32 |
| welshmen | no i saw it once and now it's gine | 19:33 |
| welshmen | but it wasn't working it didn't show up in Wcid | 19:34 |
| TheSheep | Wcid? | 19:34 |
| welshmen | i saw it in the wicd* | 19:34 |
| welshmen | no thats wrong | 19:35 |
| welshmen | It showed up in a hardware lookup thruogh the terminal | 19:36 |
| TheSheep | ok, anyways, maybe you could just describe what you are trying to do exactly | 19:36 |
| TheSheep | and we can try and point you to the best way to achieve that | 19:36 |
| welshmen | ok sounds good | 19:36 |
| welshmen | i'm trying to get my wireless card to be seen and activated, now i got a driver and followed to tut but i get errors. it comes down to i don't know how to install driverss | 19:38 |
| welshmen | i'm new to this linux stuff and want to learn just having some problems | 19:38 |
| TheSheep | what card is it? | 19:39 |
| TheSheep | broadcom? | 19:39 |
| welshmen | yes | 19:39 |
| TheSheep | ideapad u350 by any chance? | 19:39 |
| welshmen | i've searched and found that this hybrid driver will work | 19:39 |
| welshmen | no HP touchsmart | 19:39 |
| TheSheep | the hybrid driver from broadcom's website never worked for me | 19:40 |
| welshmen | damn | 19:40 |
| TheSheep | the driver that is installed by ubuntu automatically works good though | 19:40 |
| welshmen | didn't for me | 19:40 |
| welshmen | could i use a netgear USB device3? | 19:41 |
| welshmen | \would that auto install it's own driver | 19:41 |
| welshmen | ? | 19:41 |
| TheSheep | I had some problems with a broadcom card on ideapad recently, the system saw it, but it could never see any network and the power management said it's set to 0db of signal | 19:42 |
| TheSheep | resetting bios to factory settings fixed that | 19:42 |
| welshmen | ok | 19:43 |
| TheSheep | do you even have the "wireless networks" section in network manager? | 19:43 |
| welshmen | but just help me with one step..... how would you install a driver in general? | 19:44 |
| TheSheep | on xubuntu -- with jockey | 19:44 |
| welshmen | no nothing shows up the wireless card doesn't appear | 19:44 |
| TheSheep | I would avoid any 3rd party drivers | 19:45 |
| welshmen | but i found a command that show hardware and it was there | 19:45 |
| welshmen | but not working | 19:45 |
| TheSheep | welshmen: what happens when you run jockey-gtk? | 19:45 |
| TheSheep | welshmen: does it find the right driver? | 19:45 |
| Lord_Rahl | Anyone know why I can not send files in pidgin on xubuntu? I could in gnome but, xfce the send file option is grey out | 20:52 |
| Lord_Rahl | this is for gtalk or jabber network | 20:54 |
| craigbass1976 | I'm trying to vnc into my xubuntu box from a lubuntu box. I'm running it on a differnet port though (5950) and am wonering how to connect. vncviewer 192.168.2.171:5950 gives me "CConn: connected to host 192.168.2.171 port 5950, main: End of stream | 21:19 |

| charlie-tca | Natty Alpha2 officially released - Please see the notes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/TechnicalOverview | 22:31 |
| welshmen | whats the difference between Kubuntu and Ubuntu? | 22:49 |
| welshmen | is one more of a beginner OS than the other | 22:49 |
| charlie-tca | hm, Ubuntu uses Gnome desktop environment, Kubuntu uses KDE | 22:50 |
| charlie-tca | Ubuntu is normally recommended for beginners, it is very easy to configure and use | 22:50 |
| welshmen | i know this is just primarily a ubuntu chat, but i git a crappy problem. i got a laptop and wanted to put ubuntu on, but the drive had problems with win 7 ( i think it git a virus) and i formatted it with a PS3. Now it gets an error back in the laptop, so i took it out and boot got the same error ,than put the drive back in and now it just blinks like it reading the drive | 23:21 |
| charlie-tca | Actually, stating you know that is not appropriate, then saying it, does not make it appropriate for this channel. | 23:26 |
| charlie-tca | This channel is for support of Xubuntu | 23:26 |
| welshmen | so regardless if I had had ubuntu on the computer and had a system failure it still wouldn't be considered support for ubuntu?? | 23:28 |
| charlie-tca | right. Ubuntu support is in #ubuntu. We try to help when we have time, but we do not know as much about Ubuntu as we do about Xubuntu | 23:29 |
| Plasmastar | Anyone here? | 23:44 |
| charlie-tca | !anyone | 23:46 |
| ubottu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 23:46 |
| pylix | is xfce 4.8 distributed with the xubuntu 10.10 live cd? | 23:51 |
| charlie-tca | pylix: no, it is only on the natty cd's | 23:51 |
| charlie-tca | Natty is the latest development version | 23:52 |
| pylix | so it's like in beta | 23:52 |
| charlie-tca | yes, actually alpha at this time | 23:53 |
| charlie-tca | We don't even get to beta until the end of March | 23:53 |
| pylix | can i have a link please | 23:54 |
| pylix | is it the 11.04 alpha 1? | 23:55 |
| charlie-tca | no, alpha2. We just released alpha2 today | 23:55 |
| charlie-tca | Please see the notes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/TechnicalOverview | 23:55 |
| charlie-tca | alpha1 has more updates now then the whole image size, I would guess. | 23:56 |
| pylix | where would i report encountered bugs? | 23:57 |
| charlie-tca | launchpad | 23:57 |
| charlie-tca | !bugs | 23:57 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 23:57 |
