| fubada | just learned about ssh eh | 02:01 |
| fubada | rough | 02:01 |
| sakuragno | ok | 02:01 |
| sakuragno | i explain the problem | 02:01 |
| sakuragno | i've a fujitsu Amilo L7320 here at workplace | 02:01 |
| sakuragno | and i wanted to install xubuntu (bt same problem with ubuntu and others) | 02:02 |
| fubada | ok i use ubuntu but ill try to help | 02:02 |
| fubada | whats wrong | 02:02 |
| sakuragno | first of all i'd to cofigure manually the xorg.conf about resolution problems | 02:02 |
| sakuragno | and now i'm ok | 02:02 |
| sakuragno | i maked work also the alsa drivers and whatever in the sistem | 02:02 |
| sakuragno | but now a problem remains | 02:03 |
| sakuragno | after few seconds of idle | 02:03 |
| sakuragno | the system freeze | 02:03 |
| fubada | ha! | 02:03 |
| fubada | i have the same problem | 02:03 |
| sakuragno | and i've to press the powerbutton and reboot :D | 02:03 |
| fubada | im installing 11.04 to try and fix | 02:03 |
| sakuragno | i also added noapic nolapic to grub configuration | 02:03 |
| sakuragno | ah ok ^_^ so it's a common not solved problem | 02:03 |
| fubada | i have 3 identical machines with 10.10 on them, and i KEEp hearing from users that the machines freezes | 02:04 |
| sakuragno | but 11.4 it's still a beta no?! | 02:04 |
| fubada | randomly | 02:04 |
| sakuragno | yep | 02:04 |
| fubada | its a beta but its released on 4/28 | 02:04 |
| fubada | 5 days | 02:04 |
| fubada | and its just dist-upgrade | 02:04 |
| fubada | to sync up | 02:04 |
| sakuragno | i think it's an apic problem .. in the bios i also set no I\O sharing .. but nothing.. still freezing on idle ^^ | 02:04 |
| fubada | my users say the mouse is still movable..but no click actions | 02:05 |
| fubada | is that your situation? | 02:05 |
| sakuragno | perferc :D | 02:05 |
| sakuragno | perfect | 02:05 |
| sakuragno | that situation | 02:05 |
| fubada | shit | 02:05 |
| sakuragno | mouse work but nothing happens | 02:05 |
| fubada | yea exactly | 02:05 |
| bazhang | fubada, no cursing here | 02:05 |
| sakuragno | i think the peripheals shut down from cpu.. but not from system.. so it hang up and then freeze | 02:05 |
| fubada | yes cant shut down | 02:08 |
| fubada | i thought it was due to my /home beign Nfs mounted | 02:08 |
| fubada | this is good news | 02:08 |
| fubada | im hoping 11.04 will help | 02:08 |
| fubada | otherwise i have to use another linux distro | 02:08 |
| sakuragno | hmmm maybe with a new kernel | 02:08 |
| sakuragno | but i really dont know.. | 02:09 |
| fubada | i thought my issue was related to multiple network logins from the same user and nfs locking | 02:09 |
| fubada | im glad that is not the case | 02:09 |
| fubada | im also looking for a bios update | 02:10 |
| sakuragno | yep i tryed.. but for amiloL7320 that's an old machine working with hamster | 02:10 |
| sakuragno | its' impossible to upgrade bios without a floppy and a window os :D | 02:10 |
| fubada | yikes | 02:11 |
| sakuragno | yep :D | 02:14 |
| sakuragno | that's hard situation :D | 02:14 |
| sakuragno | really | 02:14 |
| fubada | dude im in the same boat now | 02:15 |
| fubada | need windows to install the new bios ver | 02:15 |
| fubada | this sucks | 02:15 |
| sakuragno | i'm goin to buy an axe :D | 02:15 |
| charlie-tca | check for an update using DOS, you could do that with FreeDOS, instead of windows | 02:16 |
| sakuragno | not supported from fujutsu support site :d | 02:16 |
| fubada | it says i need either winxp or win7 | 02:17 |
| sakuragno | look for now i'm solving in that way | 02:17 |
| sakuragno | i open a freewebradio and leave it down | 02:17 |
| sakuragno | so the system doesnt idle | 02:17 |
| sakuragno | and dont blow up | 02:17 |
| fubada | we are running a web radio too | 02:18 |
| fubada | new radio | 02:18 |
| sakuragno | ffgfgfg | 02:25 |
| sakuragno | only solution :D | 02:25 |
| sakuragno | tryin to figure anyway | 02:26 |
| sakuragno | i'll let u know | 02:26 |
| sakuragno | bye | 02:26 |
| sakuragno | :D | 02:26 |
| uofm49426 | how do i config a closing screen and what happens when i open the screen | 04:58 |
| uofm49426 | everytime my screen close buy per-pis or accident it dont come back i have to shut it down | 04:59 |
| uofm49426 | everytime my screen close by per-pis or accident it dont come back i have to shut it down | 04:59 |
| Unit193 | uofm49426: Check the xfce4 power manager | 05:01 |
| uofm49426 | with my old acer 5515 with intrepid i would just go alt ctrl f6 or f4 the push ctrl alt f7 and i would come back | 05:01 |
| uofm49426 | does sleep work well on xubuntu or i shouldnt use | 05:04 |
| uofm49426 | is there problems with wakeup | 05:04 |
| Unit193 | I don't know. I don't use Xubuntu on a laptop | 05:06 |
| uofm49426 | still happen | 05:10 |
| uofm49426 | screen lights up but on desktop | 05:10 |
| uofm49426 | is there a package for thinkpads to stop this | 05:12 |
| Unit193 | There is this tpb and hdapsd | 05:15 |
| uofm49426 | i see that but is there something for screens | 05:16 |
| Unit193 | apt-cache search thinkpad didn't come up with much | 05:17 |
| uofm49426 | the laptop had a little button that turns screen off the old setting had it on lock i put it on nothing and still does it | 05:18 |
| uofm49426 | lighted screen no desktop the why i use to deal with this was ctrl alt and f4 or 5 or 6 to go to termal mode the ctrl alt f7 and the desktop would come back | 05:21 |
| uofm49426 | that was on intrepid | 05:21 |
| uofm49426 | using 10.10 and that dont even work | 05:22 |
| Unit193 | Try the LiveCD or USB of 11.04? (Really, I can't help...) | 05:22 |
| MK`` | Maybe you guys can help: After burning a number of CDs, Ubuntu no longer seems to recognize CDs correctly for me. When I enter a blank disk, it says it only has 2 kb free | 05:30 |
| MK`` | I have confirmed with another computer that the disk is not defective | 05:31 |
| jrmy | ho wdo i restore the archive manager for xubuntu 10.04? | 06:22 |
| MK`` | What happened to it jrmy? | 06:23 |
| jrmy | i thought i reinstalled it from the software center and even tried sudo -apt-get install file-roller but it doesnt show in the applications list | 06:23 |
| jrmy | well i uninstalled it because i wanted to use 7zip but that one didnt work right either | 06:24 |
| jrmy | so now i dont know what to do | 06:24 |
| MK`` | It's not installed anymore? | 06:24 |
| MK`` | Or is it just missing from the menu? | 06:25 |
| jrmy | its installed | 06:25 |
| jrmy | missing from the menu | 06:25 |
| jrmy | nor can i select it in firefox when opening a zip file from download | 06:25 |
| MK`` | hm, give me a moment | 06:26 |
| jrmy | i only can/only know how to open it from terminal | 06:26 |
| MK`` | i am on Gnome right now so I don't know how to add files to the menu, but i'd open the folder /usr/share/applications | 06:27 |
| MK`` | it should be listed in there to copy a shortcut to it to the menu somehow | 06:27 |
| jrmy | well i know you can do that ith a gnome desktop | 06:28 |
| MK`` | but I don't know why it wouldn't be listed in firefox. | 06:29 |
| MK`` | You may want to go to Edit > Preferences > Applications and see if it is there at all, if not then maybe manually add it :( | 06:30 |
| jrmy | k i'll try that | 06:31 |
| jrmy | well i dont see a a selection for a .zip or archive or compressed file | 06:35 |
| jrmy | in the list of all the types of content | 06:35 |
| jrmy | ...this is so stupid | 06:35 |
| jrmy | i dont understand why it isnt working | 06:35 |
| MK`` | o_O | 06:35 |
| MK`` | That is strange | 06:35 |
| jrmy | never should of uninstalled it | 06:36 |
| MK`` | does the xfce desktop have no menu editor? | 06:37 |
| jrmy | it does but idk how it works | 06:37 |
| jrmy | ok i have it showing in the menu | 06:39 |
| jrmy | ok.. now its working | 06:40 |
| MK`` | :D | 06:40 |
| jrmy | i dont understand | 06:40 |
| jrmy | whatever.. | 06:40 |
| MK`` | Maybe the computer needed to just recognize the changes | 06:40 |
| jrmy | well i last installed p7zip-rar in the shell | 06:41 |
| jrmy | and i believe archive manager is a part of it | 06:41 |
| jrmy | well guess it works now.. i prefer 7zip but whatever | 06:41 |
| jrmy | but there doesnt seem to be a linux version | 06:42 |
| MK`` | I think both programs can use that library heh | 06:42 |
| jrmy | i use windows.. btw | 06:42 |
| MK`` | p7zip-full maybe? | 06:42 |
| jrmy | both are installed | 06:42 |
| jrmy | sudo apt-get install p7zip-rar installs both in otherwords | 06:43 |
| jrmy | ah i remember now | 06:43 |
| jrmy | or maybe not.. im kinda tired.. | 06:43 |
| jrmy | well thanks anyways | 06:49 |
| MK`` | yup | 06:54 |

| RadioactiveTouch | hey guys, planning on installing 10.10 on my father-in-law's piece of crap of a computer. will flash work out of the box? | 16:41 |
| RadioactiveTouch | very supportive guys.. | 16:44 |
| charlie-tca | ooops, missed the three minute mark again | 16:49 |
| psycho_oreos | make sure to prepare that venus flytrapper next time ;) | 16:51 |
| blddk | Hey, I got an old HP ThinClient with a ~700 mhz processor and 256 mb ram, I have been running windows 2003 server and windows xp with great success on it, but how would those specs be for xubuntu? | 16:54 |
| charlie-tca | slow | 16:57 |
| charlie-tca | It would work, with one app at a time. | 16:57 |
| blddk | It is not going to be a racer either, my plan is only to use it to control my reprap printer | 16:59 |
| jrmy | any idea which channel i can ask in to get it so my ps3 can see my files? | 16:59 |
| jrmy | it is pertinant at least to this channel seeing im running xubuntu | 16:59 |
| TheSheep | jrmy: #sony-customer-support? ;) | 17:00 |
| jrmy | TheSheep: you being serious? | 17:00 |
| charlie-tca | Best I got is #ubuntu-powerpc | 17:00 |
| TheSheep | no, not really, sorry | 17:00 |
| charlie-tca | Not sure any ubuntu channel will support it, though | 17:01 |
| TheSheep | it's kinda in a gray area | 17:01 |
| jrmy | TheSheep: because last i knew sony didnt plan on its ps3 veiwing linux xomputers over a network | 17:01 |
| jrmy | computers* | 17:01 |
| jrmy | well its not illegal | 17:02 |
| jrmy | well as far as i know its not in there eula for the ps3.. would be strange i think to band users from connecting to linux | 17:02 |
| jrmy | ban* | 17:03 |
| jrmy | their* | 17:03 |
| jrmy | works fine for viewing files on windows pcs but yeah | 17:04 |
| jrmy | i'll also assume that none of you own a ps3 | 17:04 |
| jrmy | lol | 17:04 |
| charlie-tca | even better, find someone with one that Sony did not patch, taking away the ability to install anything on it | 17:05 |
| jrmy | huh? i didnt mention a mod | 17:05 |
| jrmy | strange you'd think i was talking about a mod | 17:06 |
| jrmy | no i simply meant for the ps3 to see its shared folders like-wise of the ability to view windows shared folders | 17:06 |
| jrmy | all i want is to listen to music and watch video on it | 17:07 |
| psycho_oreos | something like ushare I suppose, you'll need to enable dlna | 17:08 |
| jrmy | i'd assume you'd need to install something on the pc | 17:08 |
| jrmy | ushare eh? | 17:08 |
| psycho_oreos | ushare only allows you to share music, and movies iirc | 17:08 |
| psycho_oreos | and its only ro, from ps3 iirc | 17:08 |
| jrmy | never heard of it | 17:09 |
| jrmy | guess im still kinda a networking noob lol | 17:09 |
| psycho_oreos | ro = read only, you can't delete, rename, modify in any way or form.. That's PS3's restriction with its native OS | 17:09 |
| jrmy | iirc? | 17:10 |
| psycho_oreos | there's a few other alternative that may work with movie/music streaming to PS3 under linux, ushare is one of them that I know of | 17:10 |
| psycho_oreos | iirc = if I remember correctly | 17:10 |
| jrmy | ah.. lol | 17:10 |
| jrmy | well i'll have to check ushare out then later | 17:11 |
| jrmy | is it useful in other ways? | 17:11 |
| psycho_oreos | yes if you have other capable devices which can take upnp media streaming | 17:12 |
| psycho_oreos | you could probably also stream images but I have not tried that out yet. I don't know what other stuff you can share over network that PS3 can see and then use. As far as streaming movies is concerned, PS3 can supports less than a handful of formats in its native configuration (that is without wma support, without divx support) | 17:14 |
| jrmy | yeah.. little disappointed there too | 17:15 |
| psycho_oreos | that's sony for you | 17:16 |
| jrmy | right.. | 17:16 |
| TheSheep | jrmy: you don't even OWN the thing... | 17:18 |
| jrmy | what? | 17:18 |
| TheSheep | according to Sony, they are only letting you use it | 17:18 |
| jrmy | ah.. | 17:18 |
| psycho_oreos | there is a way to make PS3 do more functionality, but such topic leads to grey/black zone which I'm sure is prohibited for discussion in this channel | 17:18 |
| jrmy | yeah eula's | 17:19 |
| jrmy | yeah probably | 17:19 |
| jrmy | idk if i'd ever want to go down the path of modding and such anyways.. | 17:19 |
| jrmy | i think i'd rather sell it and buy something else | 17:20 |
| jrmy | which im probvably gonna do when nintendos knew console comes out | 17:21 |
| jrmy | new* | 17:21 |
| jrmy | but this is a linux channel so enough on that topic | 17:22 |

| LinuxBizarre | Hey all. I'm having some trouble updating my 11.04 | 19:27 |
| LinuxBizarre | I'm getting Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/koshi/xfce-4.8/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found | 19:27 |
| LinuxBizarre | I know that doesn't exist, so its correct | 19:27 |
| LinuxBizarre | but is there anywhere I should be able to get updates from | 19:28 |
| Sysi | if you have installed updates you will not get them, but you should remove that ppa | 19:28 |
| Sysi | *all updates | 19:28 |
| LinuxBizarre | that I need to point the update manager to. (Bear in mind I'm running Ubuntu 11.04b2, but I've installed the xubuntu desktop environment using terminal) | 19:29 |
| LinuxBizarre | hmm, but won't removing that PPA cause issues if that directory is subsequently built? | 19:30 |
| LinuxBizarre | I'm totally new to this, but I'd imagine its probably pointing towards the directory that should exist for updates, not one that will never exist, right? | 19:30 |
| Sysi | you updated 10.10 with that ppa to natty? | 19:31 |
| Sysi | that ppa isn't needed/available for natty, just remove it and possibly google for ppa-purge | 19:32 |
| LinuxBizarre | No, I installed 11.04b2 from scratch, but the ubuntu variant | 19:33 |
| LinuxBizarre | then I ran apt-get to download the xubuntu desktop | 19:33 |
| LinuxBizarre | I couldn't install xubuntu from scratch because for some reason it had no sound. | 19:33 |
| Sysi | you have gotten that ppa somewhere.. | 19:33 |
| LinuxBizarre | Well the command I used to install the xubuntu desktop was from an article that related to 10.10 | 19:34 |
| LinuxBizarre | Perhaps I've installed the 10.10 environment on an 11.04 base? | 19:34 |
| Sysi | so you haven't installed anything from that repo since it doesn't work, just remove it | 19:35 |
| LinuxBizarre | ok. | 19:35 |
| LinuxBizarre | will I still recieve the proper updates if I do? | 19:35 |
| LinuxBizarre | as in, later, when an 11.04 build of that repo exists | 19:36 |
| Sysi | it will not | 19:36 |
| Sysi | it isn't needed, newest xfce is in the default repositories | 19:37 |
| LinuxBizarre | ok then. | 19:37 |
| LinuxBizarre | Where do I go to remove this repo then | 19:37 |
| Sysi | gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list propably two lines at the bottom, other option is something in /etc/apt/sources-list.d/ | 19:39 |
| LinuxBizarre | Nevermind, I think I found it. Its update manager > settings > other software tab > remove the two ppa.launchpad entries at the bottom that match the link above | 19:40 |
| LinuxBizarre | I think? | 19:40 |
| Sysi | does the same thing | 19:44 |
| LinuxBizarre | Wicked. Thanks a lot. | 19:45 |
| LinuxBizarre | And it should still find new xfce updates if they occur, despite only referencing ubuntu repos | 19:46 |
| LinuxBizarre | ? | 19:46 |
| Sysi | yes | 19:48 |
| LinuxBizarre | Awesome. | 19:50 |
| LinuxBizarre | Thanks again, you've really helped me out. | 19:50 |
| Sysi | np | 19:50 |
| LinuxBizarre | Seeya later, I'm sure I'll be back with some silly question eventually :) | 19:51 |
