menotknow | Hello all, how do i uninstall xubuntu. I can not get into it to unstall it so any help would nice, thank you | 09:57 |
TheSheep | menotknow: how did you install it? | 09:58 |
menotknow | from cd | 09:58 |
menotknow | my video card does not let me into xubuntu so i want to uninstall it | 09:59 |
Sysi | did you install it from windows? | 09:59 |
Sysi | with wubi | 09:59 |
menotknow | no befor i upgraded my computer i booted into xubuntu and installed it that way | 10:00 |
Sysi | if you want to replace it with windows, it's actually windows issue, it can't uninstall itself, that would be like eating your head | 10:01 |
menotknow | ok, i want to get the hard drive space back from the install of it | 10:02 |
menotknow | is that possible? | 10:03 |
Sysi | you can remove partition(s) with livecd and enlarge windows partition or create new ntfs-partition | 10:03 |
Sysi | but you will need to fix windows bootloader, and i don't know how | 10:03 |
Sysi | in win7 it's possible with retail installation disc | 10:04 |
menotknow | ok thank you Sysi for all your help. I guess i will do a fresh install of windows on my computer | 10:05 |
menotknow | have a good night all and thank you for all your help | 10:06 |
Gaudi | Just here to say: I like XUbuntu | 10:12 |
TheSheep | don't worry, it will pass | 10:12 |
Gaudi | XUbuntu is KISS | 10:17 |

beefsalad | how can I configure the network interfaces in xubuntu? Under ubuntu network-manager was present in the task bar | 10:58 |
beefsalad | under xubuntu, NetworkManager is running, but theres no obvious way to configure it via an X app | 10:59 |
beefsalad | if I didn't have to connect via wpa, I'd do it by hand, but...work requires wpa ;) | 10:59 |
Sysi | alt+F2 "nm-applet" if it isn't in panel | 11:00 |
beefsalad | damnit, I'm an idiot | 11:01 |
beefsalad | it's there, just doesn't look like a network icon to me ;) | 11:02 |
beefsalad | thanks Sysi! | 11:02 |
Sysi | np | 11:03 |
beefsalad | one more annoyance, and I'll try not to ask a question until I've answered 5 ;) | 12:40 |
beefsalad | dates in thunderbird are being displayed as YY-MM-DD, in ubuntu it was MM-DD-YY, how can I change that? | 12:43 |
citrus23455 | help..my laptop is an old pentium, can't support compiz, i can't get past the boot cd screen on the live cd, what boot parameters should i enter to avoid compiz? | 14:52 |
charlie-tca | If you are using the Xubuntu cd, it does not use compiz | 14:55 |
citrus23455 | well then it's an intel graphics problem | 14:56 |
citrus23455 | charlie-tca: intel graphics chip doesnt work very well with linux | 14:57 |
charlie-tca | I am using it without issues | 14:57 |
citrus23455 | well I seem to have a truckload of issues :( | 14:57 |
citrus23455 | (not personally) but rather with the laptop | 14:58 |
charlie-tca | however, on the cd, at the menu, hit F6, try those options one at a time. You hit enter on one, then escape, then enter to start the install | 14:58 |
Sysi | how much ram? | 14:58 |
brousch | you could also try the alternate install CD and afterwards install xubuntu-desktop | 14:58 |
charlie-tca | um, the desktop installs even with the alternate cd | 14:59 |
citrus23455 | well, this laptop is exceptionally hard to install onto. | 14:59 |
brousch | it does? | 14:59 |
citrus23455 | INTEL R 82810 GRAPHICS | 14:59 |
charlie-tca | of course. The difference is the installer, not what it does | 14:59 |
brousch | maybe i'm thinking of the server install | 14:59 |
knome | there is the minimal iso as well | 15:00 |
charlie-tca | minimal is not good if the person doesn't have the ability/knowledge to get past the boot menu, is it? | 15:00 |
citrus23455 | yes | 15:01 |
citrus23455 | charlie-tca | 15:01 |
citrus23455 | that's where i'm stuck | 15:01 |
charlie-tca | hit a key when the two symbols appear at the bottom, try the F6 options to see if one will get you started | 15:02 |
citrus23455 | okay | 15:04 |
citrus23455 | i'm gonna try this | 15:04 |
citrus23455 | charlie-tca: it didnt work | 15:14 |
charlie-tca | what didn't work? | 15:28 |
charlie-tca | you put the Xubuntu cd in the drive, you started the computer, you hit enter at the languages, you hit F6, you tried every one of those options, and ?? | 15:29 |
citrus23455 | charlie-tca: i tried all those options, and it won't boot, it flashes at me, it has something to do with the intel 830m graphics card | 15:40 |
citrus23455 | do you know if there's any way of using the 5.10 ubuntu with the latest firefox / latest browser? | 15:41 |
citrus23455 | flash player too | 15:41 |
citrus23455 | charlie-tca: can I install firefox 3.6 on ubuntu 5.10? | 15:41 |
brousch | 5.10 is ancient. even 6.06 LTS desktop has been out of support for a year and a half. i wouldn't hold my breath | 15:45 |
charlie-tca | I don't think it will work. | 15:45 |
charlie-tca | Is 5.10 the cd that is failing for you, too? | 15:46 |
citrus23455 | no. | 15:47 |
citrus23455 | charlie-tca: distros that work are: ubuntu 5.10, 7.10. 7.04. xubuntu 7.10. | 15:47 |
citrus23455 | ubuntu 8.10 hangs. | 15:47 |
brousch | how about 8.04? | 15:47 |
knome | ubuntu 8.10 or xubuntu 8.10 ? | 15:47 |
charlie-tca | Try downloading and installing 10.04 or 10.10 | 15:47 |
citrus23455 | i'm downloading that right now to test it. | 15:48 |
citrus23455 | charlie-tca: | 15:48 |
charlie-tca | 8.10 is also EOL | 15:48 |
citrus23455 | eol? | 15:48 |
knome | end of life | 15:48 |
charlie-tca | End Of Life | 15:48 |
citrus23455 | shit | 15:48 |
citrus23455 | i wish it wasnt | 15:48 |
brousch | 8.04 has another 2 months of life ;) | 15:48 |
charlie-tca | No longer supported | 15:48 |
citrus23455 | drat it | 15:48 |
Sysi | how do you know it's about graphics card? | 15:48 |
citrus23455 | this machine's a nightmare to work linux on | 15:48 |
knome | charlie-tca, please watch your languge | 15:48 |
knome | erm, citrus23455 ^ | 15:49 |
citrus23455 | it's definitely the graphics card | 15:49 |
knome | charlie-tca, but you too little fellow! ;) | 15:49 |
citrus23455 | lol sorry knome | 15:49 |
citrus23455 | :D | 15:49 |
knome | no problem | 15:49 |
knome | we're just trying to keep the channel family-friendly | 15:49 |
citrus23455 | ah yes, indeed, i'm sorry | 15:49 |
charlie-tca | okay, I will try :-) | 15:49 |
knome | charlie-tca can be a real hard case now and then | 15:50 |
citrus23455 | i narrowed it down to the intel 830m chipset lots of others were having that problem | 15:50 |
charlie-tca | citrus23455: Most people have better results using the latest releases. They have been improved to work with more hardware | 15:50 |
citrus23455 | can you install .deb into puppylinux>? | 15:51 |
citrus23455 | charlie-tca: 10.10 xubuntu / ubuntu both flash when trying to load boot splash screen. | 15:51 |
citrus23455 | then they hang | 15:51 |
citrus23455 | i'm considering installing puppylinux... provided it is similar to ubuntu | 15:51 |
citrus23455 | charlie-tca: what do yo uthink? | 15:52 |
Sysi | afaik it has nothing to do with ubuntu | 15:53 |
charlie-tca | I think each person should try several different operating systems, to find the one they like | 15:57 |
charlie-tca | Hopefully, that one will be Xubuntu, in the end | 15:57 |
charlie-tca | On the other hand, I am a bit stubborn, and don't actually give up easy | 15:57 |
charlie-tca | I installed wireless on 5.04 and 5.10 | 15:58 |
charlie-tca | when you had to download from 4 or 5 sites, copy the files to floppy disks, and install from them to get wireless working | 15:58 |

xubuntu811 | hi all first time on xubuntu so could you recomend what is better for remote controle. i know just 2 options vino and freeNX<-which is better? | 21:21 |
xubuntu811 | is all dead? | 21:24 |
Sysi | don't know ir no opinions or just not here at this minute, wait for some time | 21:25 |
Sysi | s/ir/or | 21:25 |
charlie-tca | I suspect it is more a matter of who has tried both and knows the differences | 21:25 |
xubuntu811 | is anybody using any remote controle xubuntu <-> windows 7? | 21:26 |
charlie-tca | xubuntu811: I will take a shot at it. I have used vino, so that would be my recommendation | 21:26 |
charlie-tca | I have never used freenx | 21:26 |
* charlie-tca doesn't really have windows, either | 21:26 | |
xubuntu3924 | How can I keep the back audio unmuted when I plug headphones into the front port? | 21:27 |
xubuntu3924 | headphone/line sense is off | 21:28 |
xubuntu811 | thanx for attention :) i will try them bouth and tell you mates :), but at first need to learn some commans | 21:29 |
David-A | xubuntu811: vino is in the repositories, freenx not afai can see. you can remote control with gui with ssh -Y and command line with ssh. from winxp with X in cygwin, win7 i dont know. | 21:32 |
brousch | i like nomachine for remote desktop | 21:34 |
brousch | freenx tries to be like nomachne's nx | 21:34 |

=== Guest99480 is now known as bombastikas | ||
guest | I take it you can't use the speakers and headphones? | 22:19 |
charlie-tca | kind of defeats the purpose of the headphones | 22:20 |
guest | Not if you have two sets of headphones | 22:20 |
Sysi | you propably need to do the muting from mixer, xfce one or pulseaudio | 22:21 |
charlie-tca | I don't really know, I only have one speaker output on my soundcard. | 22:23 |
charlie-tca | I do know, if I plug into the headphone jack on the sound card, the speakers do not mute. If I plug into the headphones jack on the speakers, they do mute | 22:24 |
guest | I have a front port and back port | 22:25 |
guest | Nothing is on mute | 22:25 |
charlie-tca | Plug the headphones into the speaker ports | 22:26 |
guest | Two headphones one in front and one in back | 22:27 |
guest | When I unplug the front the back start playing the audio | 22:27 |
charlie-tca | that would be a hardware limit then. the front jack takes priority over the rear jack | 22:28 |
guest | Do I need to check the jack sense in the switches tab (in mixer)? | 22:28 |
charlie-tca | I suspect you would need to rewire the box itself, to allow both headphones to be used | 22:29 |
guest | In windows all I need to do is kill the audio manager.. | 22:29 |
guest | On another computer that is | 22:30 |
charlie-tca | um, that is not the same then | 22:30 |
guest | So the hardware doesn't support it... thanks for your help | 22:33 |
