=== Evixion` is now known as Evixion [00:58] looking for help in installing xubuntu on a wiped hard drive [02:17] a friend asking me how to install Ares (a P2P app) in xubuntu using WineHQ .. some ideas? xD [02:24] !wine | Josesordo [02:24] Josesordo: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [03:48] how do I switch users? [03:48] i.e., without closing any of my running programs [03:55] add the user switcher applet [03:57] Aaron_M: add the xfswitch-plugin, then add it to the panel [03:58] thanks [03:58] It will add a thing to the panel to let you switch users without logging out [03:58] awesome! :) [03:58] you're my hero [04:43] Hello, I just installed xumbuntu for the first time on an older system of mine(spent my life using windows so far) and was hoping to get a litlte help getting set up... I am not sure if I have come to the right place though? [04:47] :D [04:47] yo did! [04:47] :D [04:47] oh [04:47] he left [04:47] :( [08:10] Xubuntu support chanel was? [08:12] well okay, if I want to trouble shoot why my brothers PC with xubuntu keeps freezing and the keyboard is incapable of responding what should I do? [08:18] it might be a hardware issue, I'd check if the RAM is faulty and then maybe check other potential sources. I'm presuming with keyboard unable to respond, it is a hardware lock, which could mean numerous things including PSU at fault [08:19] i see [08:19] so memtest, hdd test and stuffl ike that [08:19] i can ssh into it [08:19] is there anything i should do during the process? [08:20] SSH in sounds kinda like the issue I have been working with... [08:20] after it's frosen, see dmesg and ~/.xsession-errors and stuff in /var/log/ [08:20] ah kk [08:21] what graphics btw? [08:21] i'll just wait for it to freeze then :/ [08:21] Sadly, an integrated VIA chip on a really low ram computer (512) [08:21] and a celeron D [08:23] propably intel then.. i've had issue like that with integrated intel [08:24] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIA_Technologies [08:24] My 82845G has been iffy at best... [08:26] i sleep now [11:46] Where is the system settings menu? === Sysi- is now known as Sysi [15:08] hi, i've just downloaded xubuntu 11.04 and been trying to install it on a PII 400 Mhz machine with 512 MB RAM, but i get a kernel panic even before the installer loads === SyGeek is now known as FusionX === Evixion` is now known as Evixion === pleia2_ is now known as pleia2 [17:01] what does it mean when the system is frozen but i can't ssh into it [17:02] do you mean you can ssh? [17:03] if it's just totally frozen.. kernel panic or something other nasty [17:04] No, I mean I can't :/ [17:04] trying t ssh into it right now but i can't [17:12] :/ how do i know whats wrong with it if its this frozen lol [17:13] i wonder what logs are stored after reboot [17:14] Try both num-lock and caps-lock to see if either light will work. Do the keyboard lights blink at you? If num-lock and caps lock work to show a light, it is maxing out the cpu or memoyr [17:14] okay :/ i guess i'm going to have to hard reboot it [17:15] no [17:15] no light fro meither one [17:16] hard reboot, check /var/crash for any report, then check /var/log/syslog.0 [17:29] i found a syslog.1 but not 0 [17:29] anything in .1? [17:29] a lot of text i'm going t look at for anything suspicious [17:33] don't know i'm going to pastebin it [17:34] search for error or fail [17:34] or pastebin and I will look [17:39] should i get normal syslog too? :P [17:39] there are two of them [17:40] nope [17:40] normal syslog should be for the last boot [17:43] http://pastebin.com/2nVGvUS8 [17:43] there is also fail log and a couple dmesg ones, I wonderif there is anything in those :/ [17:44] looking at it [17:44] dmesg might have something, one back from the current again. [17:44] huh [17:45] One back? like dmesg.0? Actually how do these logs work. :/ Are numbered ones from the last time it was 'up' or what? lol [17:46] yeah [17:47] Normally the one without a number is the latest one, generated either during the last boot or the current session [17:47] ah [17:47] why are dmesg 1-4 in a gz archive? [17:47] The lowest number should be the previous to that, and they go back in sequence [17:47] The biggest number is the farthest back [17:48] It saves 5 previous logs, and rotates them [17:48] so, next time, dmesg.4.gz will delete, demesg.3.gz will be renamed to .4, etc [17:48] ah [17:52] lines 66 to 75 of the pastebin show shutdown hanging [17:52] Looks like a cron jobs were running, then it hung [17:53] is there a kernel log, too? look in it and search for kerneloops [17:53] kernlog? [17:53] If there is one, the kernel caused the hang [17:53] yes [17:54] i'll pastebin kern.log.1 then :/ [17:54] nm [17:54] this caused it [17:54] Jun 12 02:31:43 haykel-desktop AptDaemon: INFO: Initializing daemon [17:54] huh [17:54] AptDaemon never was able to shutdown [17:54] What does this mean? [17:55] That's what all those shutdown lines are for [17:55] !aptdaemon [17:55] !info aptdaemon [17:55] aptdaemon (source: aptdaemon): transaction based package management service. In component main, is extra. Version 0.41+bzr646-0ubuntu2 (natty), package size 15 kB, installed size 176 kB [17:55] I think it might have to do with update-manager [17:57] If you were not trying to add/remove anything, it was update-manager [17:57] It caused the cpu to go 100% and lock up [17:57] Ah [17:57] So how do I disable the update-manager :/ [17:58] Usually that is a bad idea, since you wouldn't know if anything needed to be updated then [17:58] If it does it again, file a bug using ubuntu-bug update-manager [17:59] and attach the /var/log/syslog.1 to it [17:59] It might be a one time glitch in the app [17:59] :/ its locked up a lot. [17:59] file it then [18:00] If I leave it alone for a period of time. Okay then [18:00] apt-daemon should not be locking it up like that [18:01] but all those lines about it trying to shutdown are saying it can't, for whatever reason. It will then cause the freeze to happen === SyGeek is now known as FusionX [18:43] Hello everybody, i have one question about xubuntu. [18:43] I am installing a xubuntu 10.10 right now and i want to update it to the newest 11.04 [18:43] what should i know before this? [18:44] And what are the diferences from installing 11.04 straight from cd [18:45] there's always a possibility when upgrading that some configurations might conflict with the newer versions [18:45] additional possibility to get weird problems and takes a lot more time [18:47] but unfortunatly i have no choise because i don't have any cd's right now ;/ [18:47] also 11.04 brings in some huge xfce [18:47] *upgrades [18:47] how about a usb? [18:47] Nope ;p [18:47] Don't have any [18:47] ;p [18:47] hehe [18:48] I have good internet connection, i hope it will help [18:48] ;p [18:48] Okay, i am going to check. Thanks and bye :) [18:48] cya [18:48] Read the natty release notes [18:48] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ReleaseNotes [18:48] gl [18:56] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/796287 is this a good bug report :P [18:56] Ubuntu bug 796287 in Ubuntu "AptDaemon - Xubuntu System Locks Up" [Undecided,New] [18:57] looking [19:01] I wonder if there is a way to hide your email in launchpad at least from non admins [19:01] yes, there is. There is an option on your page to hide the email [19:03] edogaa: go to your name page, click on "change details" [19:03] i've brother MFC-295CN and after installing the driver, printer shoots out blank pages does anyone has sim prob? [19:03] at the bottom is a place to check for "hide email" [19:04] ah thanks [19:06] Too bad launchpad doesn't support uploading multiple attachments at once >.> [19:07] I guess not too many people owns MFC-295CN [19:07] They do, if you file the bug with ubuntu-bug aptdaemon, it will attach the logs [19:08] daddy: doesn't seem like it [19:08] Maybe try in #ubuntu? [19:08] ok.. iwill try that thanks. [19:12] i wonder what triaged means [19:13] edogaa: it means that its severity has been assessed and it has been scheduled for fixing [19:13] !triage [19:13] ah [19:13] hmm [19:14] !bug-triage [19:14] lol [19:14] hello how i can desable autojoin in xchat for my favorites rooms? [19:14] well, at least scheduled for the developers to look at it [19:15] go8765432: disable? [19:16] click XChat, network list, edit for the network you log into, normally freenode, remove all channels from the list [19:16] of favorite channels [19:16] then close [19:16] next time you start xchat, it will not autojoin anything [19:23] charlie-tca, i need this channels but not alltime [19:23] how i can make if favorites in list but not join it [19:23] or make some bookmark [19:24] I don't know if that is possible in XChat. [19:25] ok. can i manage my notifications in xchat only for one channel? [19:26] nope [19:26] Settings -> Preferences sets it for all channels [19:26] right-clicking the channel sets it for each channel [19:26] !test [19:26] Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) [19:28] charlie-tca, sorry i have lag. did you wryte anything? [19:29] no, nothing since you ran !test [20:36] cześć [21:07] is anybody alive? [21:08] nope [21:08] i've noticed some annoying inconsistencies in xubuntu [21:08] braaainz [21:08] * Wizard casts turn undead [21:10] Well, actually, I think we know about that one, that one has a bug against it, the next one I never heard of [21:11] charlie-tca: that one with thundrbird not integrated with message-indicator? [21:11] That's the one with the bug [21:12] apparently got my answers out of sequence today [21:13] is there a way to disable double clicking on desktop? [21:14] i mean, if it displays directory or minimised windows i have to click elements twice [21:14] it's pretty hard on touchscreen [21:17] nope [21:17] Maybe Xfce 4.10 will have the ability to single click the desktop, but for now, it is not possible [21:18] you're involved n xfce development? [21:19] no, only Xubuntu [21:19] it's free to follow in the internet [21:22] what's free to follow? [21:23] xfce development [23:19] Hey people! I can't log in! After changing window styles, It kicked me off. [23:19] is there a way of changing the window style from the command line? [23:20] Crap. And Irssi isn't letting me change between windows from this recovery console thing. [23:20] You are in recovery mode? [23:21] In the recovery console. [23:21] it will remove all custom configurations, but the easiest way is cd to your home, instead of root home [23:21] Then remove .config and .cache and restart [23:22] Alright. Here goes. [23:22] Then never try wildbush theme again [23:22] restarting. [23:24] It works! [23:25] Thanks! [23:25] You are welcome [23:25] The theme that does that to you is in Window Manager, Wildbush [23:26] Got it. Why is that in there? [23:26] It is a really nice theme for those that don't lock up [23:26] Interesting. Wonder why that is. [23:26] and it is supplied by Xfce themselves, which is used in a lot of distros besides Xubuntu. [23:35] hi [23:36] !hi | ljhr05 [23:36] ljhr05: 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! [23:38] :D hi ljhr05 [23:46] Well, it seems that my audio doesn't work after getting rid of the .cache and .config. [23:46] It would have been smart to back stuff up. [23:46] click the speaker in the top panel, unmute the thing [23:47] You may have to select some controls in it, too [23:47] It looks unmuted. [23:47] got controls in it? [23:48] Well, I added them again. [23:48] did you add both alsa and pulse audio control? [23:49] All I did was "select controls..." [23:50] after selecting them, look at the line above that says "sound card. Switch it to the pulse audio card, and add a master control for it [23:50] alright. [23:50] all you need is the playback control [23:51] It says it's on full blast. [23:52] close the select controls thing, right click the speaker, and select pulse audio [23:53] well, right-click the speaker, select properties, select pulse audio [23:53] hmm... [23:53] Don't really see what you mean. [23:54] When you right click, left click properties [23:54] The only control for playback is "Master: [23:54] charlie-tca: Heh. Well. [23:54] the mixer track, pick the sound card above it [23:54] Playback: internal... (pulseaudiomixer)? [23:55] I ain't very good at sound. I am very good with the login thing [23:55] Yeah. Just a master control. What am I right clicking on? [23:56] right-click the speaker again. left-click brings up "select controls". after right-clicking, you should have properties [23:57] Oh. That. I'm a little slow.
