Filename was similare and my copy erased my previous file, can I get it back ?) [02:22] hey' [02:23] testing testing [02:23] anyone know how to exit the busybox prompt on xubuntu === SpockVulcan is now known as AndrewMC === joshua2k is now known as ridin [06:03] ciao a tutti [09:57] Hello all, how do i uninstall xubuntu. I can not get into it to unstall it so any help would nice, thank you [09:58] menotknow: how did you install it? [09:58] from cd [09:59] my video card does not let me into xubuntu so i want to uninstall it [09:59] did you install it from windows? [09:59] with wubi [10:00] no befor i upgraded my computer i booted into xubuntu and installed it that way [10:01] 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 [10:02] ok, i want to get the hard drive space back from the install of it [10:03] is that possible? [10:03] you can remove partition(s) with livecd and enlarge windows partition or create new ntfs-partition [10:03] but you will need to fix windows bootloader, and i don't know how [10:04] in win7 it's possible with retail installation disc [10:05] ok thank you Sysi for all your help. I guess i will do a fresh install of windows on my computer [10:06] have a good night all and thank you for all your help [10:12] Just here to say: I like XUbuntu [10:12] don't worry, it will pass [10:17] XUbuntu is KISS [10:21] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle) [10:58] how can I configure the network interfaces in xubuntu? Under ubuntu network-manager was present in the task bar [10:59] under xubuntu, NetworkManager is running, but theres no obvious way to configure it via an X app [10:59] if I didn't have to connect via wpa, I'd do it by hand, but...work requires wpa ;) [11:00] alt+F2 "nm-applet" if it isn't in panel [11:01] damnit, I'm an idiot [11:02] it's there, just doesn't look like a network icon to me ;) [11:02] thanks Sysi! [11:03] np [12:40] one more annoyance, and I'll try not to ask a question until I've answered 5 ;) [12:43] dates in thunderbird are being displayed as YY-MM-DD, in ubuntu it was MM-DD-YY, how can I change that? [14:52] 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? [14:55] If you are using the Xubuntu cd, it does not use compiz [14:56] well then it's an intel graphics problem [14:57] charlie-tca: intel graphics chip doesnt work very well with linux [14:57] I am using it without issues [14:57] well I seem to have a truckload of issues :( [14:58] (not personally) but rather with the laptop [14:58] 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] how much ram? [14:58] you could also try the alternate install CD and afterwards install xubuntu-desktop [14:59] um, the desktop installs even with the alternate cd [14:59] well, this laptop is exceptionally hard to install onto. [14:59] it does? [14:59] INTEL R 82810 GRAPHICS [14:59] of course. The difference is the installer, not what it does [14:59] maybe i'm thinking of the server install [15:00] there is the minimal iso as well [15:00] minimal is not good if the person doesn't have the ability/knowledge to get past the boot menu, is it? [15:01] yes [15:01] charlie-tca [15:01] that's where i'm stuck [15:02] hit a key when the two symbols appear at the bottom, try the F6 options to see if one will get you started [15:04] okay [15:04] i'm gonna try this [15:14] charlie-tca: it didnt work [15:28] what didn't work? [15:29] 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 ?? [15:40] 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 [15:41] do you know if there's any way of using the 5.10 ubuntu with the latest firefox / latest browser? [15:41] flash player too [15:41] charlie-tca: can I install firefox 3.6 on ubuntu 5.10? [15:45] 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] I don't think it will work. [15:46] Is 5.10 the cd that is failing for you, too? [15:47] no. [15:47] charlie-tca: distros that work are: ubuntu 5.10, 7.10. 7.04. xubuntu 7.10. [15:47] ubuntu 8.10 hangs. [15:47] how about 8.04? [15:47] ubuntu 8.10 or xubuntu 8.10 ? [15:47] Try downloading and installing 10.04 or 10.10 [15:48] i'm downloading that right now to test it. [15:48] charlie-tca: [15:48] 8.10 is also EOL [15:48] eol? [15:48] end of life [15:48] End Of Life [15:48] shit [15:48] i wish it wasnt [15:48] 8.04 has another 2 months of life ;) [15:48] No longer supported [15:48] drat it [15:48] how do you know it's about graphics card? [15:48] this machine's a nightmare to work linux on [15:48] charlie-tca, please watch your languge [15:49] erm, citrus23455 ^ [15:49] it's definitely the graphics card [15:49] charlie-tca, but you too little fellow! ;) [15:49] lol sorry knome [15:49] :D [15:49] no problem [15:49] we're just trying to keep the channel family-friendly [15:49] ah yes, indeed, i'm sorry [15:49] okay, I will try :-) [15:50] charlie-tca can be a real hard case now and then [15:50] i narrowed it down to the intel 830m chipset lots of others were having that problem [15:50] citrus23455: Most people have better results using the latest releases. They have been improved to work with more hardware [15:51] can you install .deb into puppylinux>? [15:51] charlie-tca: 10.10 xubuntu / ubuntu both flash when trying to load boot splash screen. [15:51] then they hang [15:51] i'm considering installing puppylinux... provided it is similar to ubuntu [15:52] charlie-tca: what do yo uthink? [15:53] afaik it has nothing to do with ubuntu [15:57] I think each person should try several different operating systems, to find the one they like [15:57] Hopefully, that one will be Xubuntu, in the end [15:57] On the other hand, I am a bit stubborn, and don't actually give up easy [15:58] I installed wireless on 5.04 and 5.10 [15:58] when you had to download from 4 or 5 sites, copy the files to floppy disks, and install from them to get wireless working [16:41] Apparently you can't untar multiple packages at once === Tuna-Fish2 is now known as essipessi [18:06] ciao [18:17] hello don't open eric python IDE on xubuntu [18:18] okay, but we usually don't bother paying attention to such statements without reasons [19:01] hola === jwkokc is now known as jk_ [21:21] 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? [21:24] is all dead? [21:25] don't know ir no opinions or just not here at this minute, wait for some time [21:25] s/ir/or [21:25] I suspect it is more a matter of who has tried both and knows the differences [21:26] is anybody using any remote controle xubuntu <-> windows 7? [21:26] xubuntu811: I will take a shot at it. I have used vino, so that would be my recommendation [21:26] I have never used freenx [21:26] * charlie-tca doesn't really have windows, either [21:27] How can I keep the back audio unmuted when I plug headphones into the front port? [21:28] headphone/line sense is off [21:29] thanx for attention :) i will try them bouth and tell you mates :), but at first need to learn some commans [21:32] 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. [21:34] i like nomachine for remote desktop [21:34] freenx tries to be like nomachne's nx === marius is now known as Guest99480 [21:39] I take it no one can help? === Guest99480 is now known as bombastikas [22:19] I take it you can't use the speakers and headphones? [22:20] kind of defeats the purpose of the headphones [22:20] Not if you have two sets of headphones [22:21] you propably need to do the muting from mixer, xfce one or pulseaudio [22:23] I don't really know, I only have one speaker output on my soundcard. [22:24] 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 [22:25] I have a front port and back port [22:25] Nothing is on mute [22:26] Plug the headphones into the speaker ports [22:27] Two headphones one in front and one in back [22:27] When I unplug the front the back start playing the audio [22:28] that would be a hardware limit then. the front jack takes priority over the rear jack [22:28] Do I need to check the jack sense in the switches tab (in mixer)? [22:29] I suspect you would need to rewire the box itself, to allow both headphones to be used [22:29] In windows all I need to do is kill the audio manager.. [22:30] On another computer that is [22:30] um, that is not the same then [22:33] So the hardware doesn't support it... thanks for your help
