[01:14] How can I manage my iPod Touch 4G on 10.10? [01:15] What program can I use? [01:17] Anyone? [02:24] 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] e this? [02:32] gringostar: did you try X -configure? [02:40] hey anybody know how to make my speakers work only one side outputs sound [02:44] Unit193 will try... [02:45] brb [02:58] Unit193: I'm back in normal mode but I'm not using the nvidia driver [02:59] will reboot [10:18] 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] i guess that something that is supposed to be loaded stalls - where can i check, what is loaded at startup? [10:57] 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] anyone with experience with vnc able to help me with an issue? [11:36] nmaizey: they can't know if they have enough experience if they don't know te problem [11:37] nicofs_: can you get to recovery? [11:37] \failsafe [11:40] 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] i think it's problem with gksudo, but i don't know how would you fix it [11:41] but it's same in "normal" ubuntu [11:42] hmm k [11:42] guess i have to learn the terminal commands better then :-) [11:43] nmaizey: you'll probably need to do something like export DISPLAY=0:0 [11:44] errr 0.0, not 0:0 [11:44] what would it change? [11:46] (i don't say not worth a try..) [11:50] it changes the display variable.... since the app is opening in the wrong place it's worth a try [11:50] I'm also guessing that 0.0 is where the display actually is ;) [11:51] hum, i dunno enough about vnc to say if that matters [11:52] nah same issue but thanks [12:00] after all that just worked out everything i need in terminal anyway so thanks for the help :-) [12:01] Sysi: it does [12:01] or I should say, it can... [12:02] of course *can* but i don't/didn't undertant how [12:06] luckily we're getting rid of xorg :P [12:28] 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] wayland [17:33] huh? [17:33] !info wayland [17:33] Package wayland does not exist in maverick [20:39] 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] you could first try booting to older kernel [20:41] Sysi, only one available... :-( [20:41] failsafe works, though [20:41] nicofs: natty? [20:42] Natty did that today, just had to login on a tty and start gdm [20:42] charlie-tca, jep.. until yesterday all was fine... [20:42] ok, will give it a try [20:42] bug 735805 [20:42] Launchpad bug 735805 in gdm (Ubuntu) "GDM fails to start" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/735805 [20:42] that's why we use #ubuntu+1 for natty. they have the answers already [20:43] charlie-tca, ok, didn't know... [20:43] no problem [20:44] Just might get the wrong answers here, since these people are not running the development release and things change when using it [20:48] another question: is anyone here familiar with using multiple internet connections at the same time? [20:50] basically it's harder to configure that you'd gain from it [20:50] if you son't mean something like different connection to internet and other to home network [20:50] even if you'd gain a lot from it it's hard [20:52] 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] (by kicked out i don'T mean disconnected - i stay connected but the internet is gone...) [20:53] reboot your router [20:53] it's not my router... sadly, i can'T reboot anything other than my pc [20:55] i found a howto somewhere that was connected to a program i installed - but i can't find it atm... [20:55] it used to be possible to have both active but idk how that worked [20:56] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding [20:56] that's the guide... but i'm stuck configuring it... [22:29] hello? [22:29] !hi [22:29] Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! [22:30] hello, I was wondering if there was any way to install Xubuntu without the live cd or usb [22:30] use the alternate cd? [22:30] are you trying to do it without any cd or usb-drive? [22:32] Yeah, without the cd or usb [22:33] !install [22:33] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [22:33] check that last link [22:33] all right, thank you! [22:34] if I do it directly from the hdd, would it erase the version of windows I have installed? [22:35] sorry, i've only been using Puppy Linux from a usb before, don't know much about the installing process [22:35] 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] 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] Make sure you have a backup of important stuff [22:37] +1 [22:38] How exactly do I partition? Never done it before [22:41] !partition [22:41] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [22:42] Use gparted [22:42] !GParted [22:42] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [22:43] this is really helpful, thanks [22:46] so I use GParted before installing xubuntu, right? [22:49] yup [22:49] You use gparted to create a partition to put the image in, I think. [22:51] I really can't be much help with it, since I haven't seen windows in about 6 years now [22:53] that's ok, I think I get how to do this
