[01:14] <KramB> How can I manage my iPod Touch 4G on 10.10?
[01:15] <KramB> What program can I use?
[01:17] <KramB> Anyone?
[02:24] <gringostar> Hi, I'm using Xubuntu 10.10 on a presario laptop r3000 using the nvidia 96 driver. I was using a TV monitor in twin view when I tried the separate X screen option at the reboot the x server didnt load. I was asked for login and password then the command prompt. I'm now in recovery mode & failsafe graphic mode. I tried to load a backup of my xorg.conf but it give the same result (black screen/ password/ command). How can I solv
[02:24] <gringostar> e this?
[02:32] <Unit193> gringostar: did you try X -configure?
[02:40] <bdog> hey anybody know how to make my speakers work only one side outputs sound
[02:44] <gringostar> Unit193 will try...
[02:45] <gringostar> brb
[02:58] <gringostar> Unit193: I'm back in normal mode but I'm not using the nvidia driver
[02:59] <gringostar> will reboot
[10:18] <nicofs_> My xubuntu doesn't start anymore - i get as far as the splash screen (console says "Checking battery state... [ok]") - and then it stalls...
[10:42] <nicofs_> i guess that something that is supposed to be loaded stalls - where can i check, what is loaded at startup?
[10:57] <nicofs_> i know the problem is located somewhere in /etc/init.d/ and related folders - but i don't see in what order the scripts are executed...
[11:30] <nmaizey> anyone with experience with vnc able to help me with an issue?
[11:36] <Sysi> nmaizey: they can't know if they have enough experience if they don't know te problem
[11:37] <Sysi> nicofs_: can you get to recovery?
[11:37] <Sysi> \failsafe
[11:40] <nmaizey> Im having issues with admin password screens when using remote viewers... I can get connection fine to my server but whenever i do something that requires the root password to be entered (i.e create new user) in the GUI the window does not show in the viewer... but if i plug the monitor into my server its showing there... have i got a setting wrong or something?
[11:41] <Sysi> i think it's problem with gksudo, but i don't know how would you fix it
[11:41] <Sysi> but it's same in "normal" ubuntu
[11:42] <nmaizey> hmm k
[11:42] <nmaizey> guess i have to learn the terminal commands better then :-)
[11:43] <beefsalad> nmaizey: you'll probably need to do something like export DISPLAY=0:0
[11:44] <beefsalad> errr 0.0, not 0:0
[11:44] <Sysi> what would it change?
[11:46] <Sysi> (i don't say not worth a try..)
[11:50] <beefsalad> it changes the display variable.... since the app is opening in the wrong place it's worth a try
[11:50] <beefsalad> I'm also guessing that 0.0 is where the display actually is ;)
[11:51] <Sysi> hum, i dunno enough about vnc to say if that matters
[11:52] <nmaizey> nah same issue but thanks
[12:00] <nmaizey> after all that just worked out everything i need in terminal anyway so thanks for the help :-)
[12:01] <beefsalad> Sysi: it does
[12:01] <beefsalad> or I should say, it can...
[12:02] <Sysi> of course *can* but i don't/didn't undertant how
[12:06] <Sysi> luckily we're getting rid of xorg :P
[12:28] <beefsalad> don't remember what xorg is being replaced with, but I have a feeling it's not going to fix everything wrong with X
[17:32] <mhall119> wayland
[17:33] <charlie-tca> huh?
[17:33] <charlie-tca> !info wayland
[20:39] <nicofs> Booting stalls after "checking battery state... [ok]" - i guess something from /etc/init.d that should be loaded is causing trouble - how do i find out what exactly?
[20:40] <Sysi> you could first try booting to older kernel
[20:41] <nicofs> Sysi, only one available... :-(
[20:41] <nicofs> failsafe works, though
[20:41] <charlie-tca> nicofs: natty?
[20:42] <charlie-tca> Natty did that today, just had to login on a tty and start gdm
[20:42] <nicofs> charlie-tca, jep.. until yesterday all was fine...
[20:42] <nicofs> ok, will give it a try
[20:42] <charlie-tca> bug 735805
[20:42] <charlie-tca> that's why we use #ubuntu+1 for natty. they have the answers already
[20:43] <nicofs> charlie-tca, ok, didn't know...
[20:43] <charlie-tca> no problem
[20:44] <charlie-tca> Just might get the wrong answers here, since these people are not running the development release and things change when using it
[20:48] <nicofs> another question: is anyone here familiar with using multiple internet connections at the same time?
[20:50] <Sysi> basically it's harder to configure that you'd gain from it
[20:50] <Sysi> if you son't mean something like different connection to internet and other to home network
[20:50] <Sysi> even if you'd gain a lot from it it's hard
[20:52] <nicofs> i can connect to the internet via eth0 and wlan0 - two different physical networks... but i get kicked out of them frequently... so it would be great to just use them together so i can use whatever works at the moment...
[20:52] <nicofs> (by kicked out i don'T mean disconnected - i stay connected but the internet is gone...)
[20:53] <Sysi> reboot your router
[20:53] <nicofs> it's not my router... sadly, i can'T reboot anything other than my pc
[20:55] <nicofs> i found a howto somewhere that was connected to a program i installed - but i can't find it atm...
[20:55] <Sysi> it used to be possible to have both active but idk how that worked
[20:56] <nicofs> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding
[20:56] <nicofs> that's the guide... but i'm stuck configuring it...
[22:29] <Cort> hello?
[22:29] <ochosi> !hi
[22:30] <Cort> hello, I was wondering if there was any way to install Xubuntu without the live cd or usb
[22:30] <charlie-tca> use the alternate cd?
[22:30] <charlie-tca> are you trying to do it without any cd or usb-drive?
[22:32] <Cort> Yeah, without the cd or usb
[22:33] <charlie-tca> !install
[22:33] <charlie-tca> check that last link
[22:33] <Cort> all right, thank you!
[22:34] <Cort> if I do it directly from the hdd, would it erase the version of windows I have installed?
[22:35] <Cort> sorry, i've only been using Puppy Linux from a usb before, don't know much about the installing process
[22:35] <charlie-tca> I don't know, myself, but I would not think so. You do have to be careful partitioning the drive out, since the image can not be in the partition used for the installation
[22:36] <ochosi> Cort: your installation method (cd, usb, netinstall) doesn't have any connection with the second os installed. you just have to get the partitioning right
[22:36] <charlie-tca> Make sure you have a backup of important stuff
[22:37] <ochosi> +1
[22:38] <Cort> How exactly do I partition? Never done it before
[22:41] <charlie-tca> !partition
[22:42] <charlie-tca> Use gparted
[22:42] <charlie-tca> !GParted
[22:43] <Cort> this is really helpful, thanks
[22:46] <Cort> so I use GParted before installing xubuntu, right?
[22:49] <charlie-tca> yup
[22:49] <charlie-tca> You use gparted to create a partition to put the image in, I think.
[22:51] <charlie-tca> I really can't be much help with it, since I haven't seen windows in about 6 years now
[22:53] <Cort> that's ok, I think I get how to do this
