Jason1 | Hey there. Can someone give me some advice about a network connectivity issue? | 05:44 |
Sysi | somebody using 10.04 with alex2000 xfce 4.8 ppa? | 11:43 |
Sysi | actual question: does it work? | 11:43 |
lithpr | Sysi, i'm using the koshi ppa for 4.8, and it's great | 12:08 |
lithpr | (for 10.10) | 12:08 |
Sysi | different ppa and different xubuntu | 12:09 |
Sysi | i know from natty that 4.8 is nice | 12:09 |
Sysi | i might as well *could* try since i moved mainly to kde | 12:10 |
lithpr | i've tried Natty Alpha 2 for kde and Gnome, but both were very unstable on my box | 12:11 |
lithpr | so i decided to side step it for xfce | 12:12 |
Sysi | kde shouldn't be very bad, but xfce works maybe even better | 12:14 |
Sysi | unity is stil in development afaik | 12:15 |
lithpr | right, i had tons of crashing on kde 4.6 w/ natty, did better with ppa on maverick | 12:17 |
lithpr | still too unstable though | 12:17 |
lithpr | the biggest problem on kde 4.6 MM is that it all crashes on logout, other than that, it's good | 12:18 |
jigynet | how do i configure / confirm proper installation of intel gma? | 13:14 |
jigynet | is the gma fully utilized in ubuntu's? | 13:15 |
Sysi | intel drivers should be there by default | 13:20 |
jigynet | well it seemed to improve a little when i install the drivers.. | 13:37 |
jigynet | a settings ap isnt obvious, dont know any commands to configure things lik antianiliseing | 13:38 |
jigynet | the i965 va drivers?? | 13:41 |
jigynet | plus there are many other settings that need adjusting memory footprint, shared memory settings.. | 13:43 |
andy_ | Good day all. I'm trying to solve a problem I created: I'm running ubuntu 10.10 on a netbook (Asus eee 900A; 16GB SSD, 1.6 ghz atom). I switched to XFCE, then tried to eliminate the extra apps left over from gnome by deleting them via synaptic package manager. Not too bright: now I get a command line on startup and cannot start xubuntu desktop or get updates. Any suggestions? | 14:01 |
lithpr | andy_ certainly the simplest and most robust way to recover from a situation like that is to reinstall | 14:04 |
Sysi | plug it to wired internet and (re)install xubuntu-desktop | 14:04 |
Sysi | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 14:05 |
andy_ | lithpr and Sysi: thanks. Can't install either; neither sudo apt-get update nor sudo apt-get install xubuntu desktop work. | 14:05 |
Sysi | what does it say? | 14:06 |
andy_ | I get a long list of unmet dependencies and "failed to fetch" messages. | 14:06 |
andy_ | I've tried to fix the sources list, to no avail. | 14:06 |
Sysi | sounds like reinstall.. | 14:06 |
andy_ | Can't boot from a flash drive either. You suggesting reinstall the OS? | 14:07 |
Sysi | yes | 14:07 |
andy_ | Sysi - thanks. That's about what I figured. Now I need to figure out how to do that when I can't boot the thing from a USB drive. Any suggestions there? | 14:07 |
lithpr | how did you get it on there in the first place? | 14:08 |
brousch | boot from external USB CD-ROM | 14:08 |
Sysi | you've created usb stick with unetbootin or usb-creator and press esc on boot? | 14:08 |
andy_ | lithpr: I used the flash drive. I've somehow borked its ability to do even that. | 14:08 |
andy_ | Sysi: yes | 14:09 |
lithpr | that should be a bios issue- you couldn't have killed it from the OS | 14:09 |
Sysi | what does it do? | 14:09 |
andy_ | Sysi: just boots into the command line despite the presence of the USB drive. | 14:09 |
Sysi | do you get the boot device selection menu? | 14:10 |
lithpr | andy_, have you gone into the bios and made sure that booting from usb has the highest priority? | 14:11 |
andy_ | Sysi: just tried again and this time it worked. I didn't get the boot device menu before but now I do. Weird stuff. Thanks again. I'll reinstall. thanks all! | 14:11 |
Sysi | np | 14:12 |
jigynet | aw | 14:37 |
jigynet | why not sudo dpkg-configure? | 14:37 |
jigynet | he may also have other usb's plugged in at boot? | 14:37 |
Sysi | could have been worth a try, but reinstall takes half an hour and after that he has pure xfce system | 14:38 |
Sysi | he also got usb-boot to work | 14:38 |
jigynet | dpkg reconfig also needs to be run from the usb os xD | 14:38 |
jigynet | xD | 14:38 |
Sysi | why? | 14:38 |
jigynet | otherwise it would only rebuild the root os | 14:39 |
jigynet | xD | 14:39 |
jigynet | not other installs | 14:39 |
jigynet | lol | 14:39 |
jigynet | lol is there a command for that hehe | 14:39 |
jigynet | but i always use that if things get quirky or unfixable and i got terminal still.. much less time then download/reinstall | 14:40 |
jigynet | and you keep everything xD | 14:41 |
jigynet | maybe 30 min depending on connection and traffic | 14:41 |
jigynet | selected packages xD | 14:41 |
jigynet | just wish i could find a fan control for a samsung netbook.. | 14:42 |
Jason1 | I configured opendns this morning and now my connection keeps dropping after 10 or 20 minutes of use. Any ideas on how to diagnose the issue? | 15:37 |
jigynet | how do i share my wifi locally?..like coffe shop / home users | 16:58 |
jigynet | plus my bro needs help secureing his pc =/ | 16:59 |
charlie-tca | you want to allow any user to use your wifi? | 16:59 |
jigynet | if they are given a password..and a key preferably | 17:00 |
charlie-tca | then you should just give them the password and key they can connect with | 17:00 |
jigynet | i'd use bluetooth but his pc is older.. | 17:00 |
jigynet | that connects a pc directly to the router..not my pc in a way he can use the internet via one of 2 ap's | 17:01 |
jigynet | ad-hoc right? | 17:01 |
jigynet | haveing random people use the router directly would be kinda bad =/ | 17:03 |
jigynet | brb | 17:03 |
xubuntu012 | hello. I'm installing xubuntu. However I've reached a snag. it says "Downloading pakckages (5015:47 remaining)". I do not have that long to wait. | 18:19 |
charlie-tca | lose a connection? | 18:19 |
xubuntu012 | no | 18:19 |
xubuntu012 | same conection I'm using to talk to you. | 18:19 |
xubuntu012 | There is a hyper-link that directed me to this irc. | 18:20 |
xubuntu012 | on the installer | 18:20 |
charlie-tca | Maybe the connection dropped and came back | 18:20 |
charlie-tca | It should be a constantly updating time | 18:21 |
xubuntu012 | It jumped down to 15 mintues, but only for a few secounds | 18:21 |
xubuntu012 | Most of the time it's still. | 18:21 |
xubuntu012 | Is there a way to switch mirrors? | 18:21 |
charlie-tca | not during trhe install | 18:26 |
xubuntu012 | alright | 18:26 |
xubuntu012 | thanks for your time | 18:26 |

surreal7z | hi guys.. when I plug in my external HDD this is what happens... It's called "The Cube" and I have a folder \media which has "The Cube" folder, but owner is root... and when I want to access it... I don't have permissions and the "The Cube_" is created which is good... | 20:14 |
surreal7z | I didn't do anything.. it was working till now... except I had to access it first from thunar before using it in rhytmbox and other applications' | 20:25 |
surreal7z | The Cube_ has good permissions of a user | 20:25 |
surreal7z | any way to fix that? | 20:25 |
surreal7z | thx | 20:25 |
Sysi | what filesystem | 20:25 |
surreal7z | okey... i have fixed it... but still when I log in I need to access thunar first before I use it in other applications | 20:26 |
surreal7z | ntfs | 20:39 |
