| medeman | wow xubuntu even freezes in text mode | 08:44 |
| Sysi | try "sudo service gdn stop" | 08:45 |
| Sysi | *gdm | 08:45 |
| medeman | k | 08:49 |
| medeman | how do i install the nvidia driver in text mode? | 09:26 |
| Sysi | try updates first, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:30 |
| Sysi | reboot after that | 09:31 |
| medeman | ah its you again okay | 09:34 |
| medeman | i just connected with a 10 meter lan cable to my real router | 09:34 |
| medeman | works fine | 09:34 |
| medeman | Sysi: what is gdm anyways? | 09:55 |
| knome | medeman, gnome display manager | 09:56 |
| medeman | ah okay | 09:56 |
| medeman | Sysi: im interested what machines / OSes you use. Can you tell me? | 10:12 |
| medeman | knome: or could you tell me your setup? | 10:13 |
| Sysi | couple of laptops and desktop, xubuntu, fedora and sometimes arch, win7 hardly | 10:14 |
| medeman | haha okay | 10:14 |
| medeman | well, i have a macbook pro and a pc (the xubuntu), and a powermac g3 + 2 other older pcs | 10:15 |
| medeman | the powermacs power supply is dead | 10:15 |
| medeman | i was thinking about buying a new one, but the whole machine is cheaper then a power supply | 10:16 |
| medeman | however, if it would run, would debian run on it? | 10:16 |
| medeman | i think there is a powerpc version | 10:16 |
| medeman | but maybe the mac is too old? | 10:17 |
| medeman | i dunno | 10:17 |
| Sysi | g3 isn't very powerful but it might work with light desktop or as server | 10:17 |
| medeman | maybe a little home server? with php and mysql? | 10:18 |
| medeman | and apache? | 10:18 |
| === brot_ is now known as brot | ||
| Sysi | how much ram | 10:18 |
| medeman | i need a mini local webserver for some testing and that | 10:18 |
| medeman | uhmm | 10:18 |
| medeman | i think 512mb | 10:18 |
| medeman | i cant look, i cant turn it on atm | 10:18 |
| medeman | power supply dead | 10:18 |
| Sysi | should run webserver nicely, maybe with desktop | 10:19 |
| medeman | okay | 10:19 |
| medeman | huh, i dont get it, i installed ubuntu server before | 10:23 |
| medeman | now overwrote that with xubuntu | 10:23 |
| medeman | but it still says ubuntu server | 10:23 |
| medeman | Sysi: any idea? | 10:24 |
| Sysi | where it says it? | 10:24 |
| medeman | when i boot from hard drive | 10:24 |
| medeman | it has the xubuntu boot logo | 10:24 |
| medeman | then goes into a terminal | 10:24 |
| medeman | saying ubuntu 10.10 server | 10:25 |
| medeman | Sysi: by the way do you know where i can get debian 2.2 diskette images (with gui and that)? i have a really old laptop here... | 10:46 |
| medeman | on the debian ftp server i just found other debian 2.2 stuff | 10:47 |
| Sysi | does even debian support that old stuff | 10:50 |
| medeman | huh? | 10:52 |
| Sysi | newest debian stable is 6.0 | 10:53 |
| medeman | yes | 10:53 |
| medeman | but the cd drive of the laptop died | 10:53 |
| medeman | well, it only works sometimes the drive | 10:54 |
| medeman | maybe it works now | 10:54 |
| nicofs_ | Can someone help me set up network bonding? I installed ifenslave and now i'm in front of /etc/network/interfaces - and lost... | 11:44 |
| medeman | hey Sysi now it says xubuntu and i press ctrl alt f1 | 11:51 |
| medeman | Sysi: it freezes in the terminal | 11:52 |
| medeman | even when i use sudo service gdm stop | 11:52 |
| Sysi | did you try nomodeset? | 11:52 |
| medeman | where can i do this? | 11:52 |
| Sysi | hold shift when booting, should get to grub menu | 11:53 |
| medeman | ok | 11:53 |
| Sysi | press e to edit and add it after "quiet splash" | 11:53 |
| medeman | i hold down shift but the xubuntu logo appears and boots | 11:54 |
| Sysi | too late/too early | 11:54 |
| medeman | ah there we go | 11:55 |
| medeman | now e... | 11:55 |
| medeman | now the row looks like this: | 11:55 |
| medeman | 9a6-55d43781d0ff ro quiet splash nomodeset | 11:56 |
| medeman | now what? how do i save? | 11:56 |
| Sysi | try just booting with it | 11:57 |
| medeman | ctrl+x? | 11:57 |
| Sysi | iirciirc | 11:57 |
| Sysi | whops | 11:58 |
| knome | Sysi, which bird does a sound like 'iirciirc' ? | 11:58 |
| medeman | lol | 11:58 |
| medeman | so i boot with ctrl+x, then do i still use ctrl+alt+f1 and sudo service gdm stop? | 11:58 |
| Sysi | no, see if it works | 11:58 |
| medeman | k | 11:58 |
| Sysi | knome: i can't remember the name but they're quite common here | 11:59 |
| medeman | i saw a ubuntu splash screen and now low-res desktop | 11:59 |
| medeman | should i log in? | 11:59 |
| Sysi | try if it crashes | 11:59 |
| knome | Sysi, seagulls? ;) | 11:59 |
| medeman | yes it freezes | 12:00 |
| medeman | =( | 12:01 |
| Sysi | just no dice i guess | 12:01 |
| Sysi | try acpi=off to boot options | 12:02 |
| medeman | so nomodeset acpi=off? | 12:03 |
| Sysi | nomodeset didn't help | 12:04 |
| medeman | so only acpi=off? | 12:04 |
| Sysi | try | 12:04 |
| medeman | ok | 12:05 |
| medeman | now the desktop is native resolution again | 12:05 |
| medeman | i logged in | 12:06 |
| Sysi | nomodeset kinda breaks driver, but helps in some cases | 12:06 |
| medeman | oh | 12:06 |
| medeman | and for the first time | 12:06 |
| medeman | it tells me that there are restricted drivers available | 12:06 |
| medeman | but now it froze again | 12:06 |
| Sysi | does cursor move? | 12:06 |
| medeman | no | 12:06 |
| medeman | not even the numkey light lights up | 12:07 |
| Sysi | i gotta give up if, you have tried with different ubuntu version and same happens | 12:07 |
| medeman | yes | 12:08 |
| medeman | this computer is so weird | 12:08 |
| medeman | oh | 12:08 |
| medeman | one other thing is weird | 12:08 |
| Sysi | either it's broken or very weird | 12:08 |
| medeman | i booted mandriva from a live cd a few days ago | 12:09 |
| medeman | and it worked | 12:09 |
| medeman | showed the nvidia logo as kinda splashscreen | 12:09 |
| medeman | but then i installed it | 12:09 |
| medeman | and it doesnt work | 12:09 |
| medeman | freezes at black screen with cursor | 12:09 |
| medeman | Sysi: any idea about that? | 12:11 |
| Sysi | not really | 12:12 |
| medeman | oh okay =( | 12:12 |
| medeman | thanks for your time and help then | 12:12 |
| Sysi | np | 12:12 |
| knome | medeman, probably best to ask mandriva folks why the live cd worked but installation didn't | 12:13 |
| medeman | the installation worked, but the start didnt | 12:13 |
| medeman | from the hd | 12:13 |
| knome | medeman, yes - ask the mandriva people if they have ideas why that happened | 12:14 |
| medeman | okay | 12:14 |
| medeman | ty | 12:14 |
| knome | np | 12:14 |

| Maizey | Hi all... anyone able to assist with getting a remote desktop happening from a windows machine to xubuntu on a local network? | 12:47 |
| Sysi | Maizey: set up rdp or vnc server on windows and use remmina (remote desktop client in menu) | 12:53 |
| Sysi | you need to check ip of windows machine, idk how to do that | 12:54 |
| Maizey | i tried with vnc4server on xubuntu and tightvnc viewer on xp... prity sure i had it configured correct but couldnt get a connection... just kept saying connection failed.... | 12:56 |
| Sysi | oh, xubuntu as server | 12:57 |
| Maizey | yeah | 12:57 |
| Sysi | check you don't have firewall set up and ip is right, ifconfig in terminal tells the ip | 12:58 |
| Sysi | you can try vino also | 12:58 |
| Maizey | its a local server so wouldnt think firewall would effect it would it?? and ip was correct. Been at it for the last 2 hours and read that many posts my eyes hurt :-/ | 12:59 |
| Sysi | depends on firewall setup | 12:59 |
| Maizey | uh getting closer... its asking a password now but not accepting the one i setup earlier :-/ at least its a step closer | 13:08 |
| Maizey | that got it... thanks for the ehlp sysi :-) | 13:14 |
| Sysi | np | 13:15 |

| nicofs | I want to remotely control my other Xubuntu computer... how can i do that? I set up tightvnc (well... i installed it and started it) - but all i get is control over a new desktop - i want to control the one already there... | 21:54 |
| nicofs | like realVNC | 21:56 |
| charlie-tca | !vnc | 22:04 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 22:04 |
| nicofs | charlie-tca, i need to control the environment on the other machine... use my laptop as a remote for the other pc... | 22:08 |
| nicofs | i'm using the other one as entertainment solution for my living room - and i don't want to leave the couch to cahnge channels, volume, movie, ... | 22:09 |
| charlie-tca | so, setting up the vnc-server failed on that remote computer? | 22:10 |
| nicofs | well, everything works - but what i see on the viewer here is not the desktop my other pc projects to the living room screen... | 22:11 |
| nicofs | i get a new desktop environment with nothing but xterm on top of it | 22:12 |
| nicofs | i am shure that i am connected to the right machine - running htop lists all that is running there - and killing processes lets them disappear on the target machine. i have access - but not the right kind of access... | 22:13 |
| bhe | hey ya'll. which packages are needed for wireless? | 22:33 |
| charlie-tca | !wireless | 22:34 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 22:34 |
| charlie-tca | bhe: #ubuntu-beginners are good at getting wireless working, too. | 22:34 |
| bhe | no, i did min install, just needed "sudo apt-get install gnome-network-admin" | 22:35 |
| bhe | sorry to bother | 22:35 |
| charlie-tca | no problem | 22:36 |
