| XubuntuKris | When I try to eject my sdcard from the computer, I get a message that says something about data still being written to the card, but it doesn't stay up for long enough to read anything specific. | 00:55 |
|---|---|---|
| XubuntuKris | I'm running 10.10 | 00:55 |
| GridCube | yes it says that | 00:57 |
| GridCube | if you click again on the sdcard and dont have the "umount" option anymore its safe to remove it | 00:57 |
| XubuntuKris | it doesn't leave the icon. | 00:58 |
| XubuntuKris | it just disappears after that | 00:58 |
| GridCube | oh then its safe :D | 00:58 |
| GridCube | you can do it from thunar :P | 00:58 |
| XubuntuKris | And I never see the "unmount" option, It says "eject volume" | 00:58 |
| XubuntuKris | If I unmount via terminal, the icon stays. | 00:59 |
| XubuntuKris | what's that about? | 00:59 |
| XubuntuKris | plus it doesn't give me that warning. | 01:00 |
| GridCube | yes, they eject thing is different from the umount, because its dinamyc, don't really know more tho | 01:01 |
| knome | unmounting means the drive isn't technically tied to the pc anymore | 01:02 |
| knome | ejecting makes more sense with cd's | 01:02 |
| XubuntuKris | well it's not a cd. Hell, this computer doesn't even have a disk drive. | 01:03 |
| knome | XubuntuKris, please watch your language | 01:03 |
| XubuntuKris | please excuse my potty mouth. | 01:04 |
| XubuntuKris | I'll go wash it out with soap | 01:04 |
| XubuntuKris | lol | 01:04 |
| knome | XubuntuKris, if you can unmount the sd card, you're okay. | 01:05 |
| knome | i know that the unmounting/ejecting stuff can be tricky sometimes | 01:05 |
| XubuntuKris | So if it is still busy, it won't let me unmount? | 01:06 |
| knome | yes | 01:06 |
| knome | that's correct | 01:06 |
| XubuntuKris | okay, that's good info. | 01:06 |
| XubuntuKris | thanks | 01:06 |
| knome | no problem | 01:06 |
| knome | sometimes it just feels like it's never going to unmount, but eventually it will | 01:06 |
| XubuntuKris | Well, that's the thing, it never takes long. It just displays that message for like .02 seconds. | 01:08 |
| knome | i mean, generally long, not displaying the message. | 01:09 |
| knome | you can just try unmounting again | 01:09 |
| zruty | TheSheep: A little late, but indeed, I verified the WLAN switch was broken. | 01:11 |

| ledjo | hi, how can I delete xp after installing xubuntu with wubi? | 02:41 |
| GridCube | mmm | 02:44 |
| GridCube | O_o i don't think you can do that | 02:44 |
| GridCube | why dont you install it properly? | 02:44 |
| ledjo | tis on my older laptop and my cdrom drive doesn't work any more.. | 02:45 |
| GridCube | mmm use unetbootin? | 02:46 |
| GridCube | to install from a usb device | 02:47 |
| ledjo | already tried but it stops before partitionig | 02:47 |
| bazhang | move wubi to its own partition then | 02:47 |
| bazhang | or better to save what you can and just install xubuntu fresh | 02:48 |
| bazhang | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide | 02:48 |
| charlie-tca | Wubi is installing xubuntu as part of windows, you must install xubuntu to a separate partition before deleting XP | 02:48 |
| GridCube | ledjo, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519354 | 02:49 |
| ledjo | ok zhx just a sec I'm reading | 02:49 |
| bazhang | zhx? | 02:50 |
| ledjo | *thx, sorry | 02:52 |
| ledjo | can I just make the 2nd partition in xp, wubi install xubuntu on it and then format and join 1st one with xp on it? | 02:59 |
| GridCube | i don't know | 03:01 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu should not be installed in fat or ntfs, if possible. It is normally installed in an ext3 or ext4 partition. What cd are you using? | 03:05 |
| charlie-tca | ledjo: which cd did you download? | 03:06 |
| ledjo | live | 03:06 |
| charlie-tca | Then why not just run the install from it, let it do a guided resize partition, and install itself. Then you can remove xp after making sure it works | 03:07 |
| charlie-tca | The Xubuntu live cd will do the partitioning for you | 03:07 |
| ledjo | cause my cdrom isn't working | 03:08 |
| ledjo | coure Idd install it normally | 03:08 |
| ledjo | .. | 03:08 |
| charlie-tca | If you install using windows, it will still not be separate from windows. | 03:09 |
| ledjo | but I can make a ext3/4 partition with partition magic etc then wubi install xubuntu on that partition, can't I? | 03:10 |
| charlie-tca | wubi allows you to install/remove as a windows applications. It needs to be done as a standalone operating system instead of a windows application | 03:10 |
| ledjo | but I thought if I'd installed it on ext3/4 partition then it will eventually update to "stand alone" system afterwards | 03:12 |
| ledjo | or can I install it through lan? | 03:13 |
| ledjo | never mind I'll ask later, see ya | 03:15 |

| test__ | hi, newbie here needing help, anyone helping? | 09:45 |
| test__ | ...anyone? | 09:53 |
| Sysi | ask a question and somebody maybe ansvers | 09:53 |
| test__ | cannot login with my original account, after typing the username and password correctly comes a black screen for like a second (which looks like the logout one) and i'm back at the log screen, any suggestion? | 09:55 |
| gr8m8 | test__: you said you can't do it with your original account - that means you can login with a different account? | 09:57 |
| test__ | yep, went to terminal and created this one, but it's just circumventing it and doesn't really solve the problem, need access to my original one | 09:58 |
| Sysi | go into virtual console, Ctrl Alt F6 and log in there | 09:58 |
| Sysi | rm -rf ~/.ICEauthority | 09:58 |
| Sysi | then Ctrl Alt F7 or F8 and try logging in now | 09:58 |
| test_ | @Sysi: cannot remove - permission denied | 10:09 |
| Sysi | you did that on your original account? | 10:09 |
| test_ | yep, funnily i can login to my original account from terminal but no desktop | 10:11 |
| gr8m8 | try in terminal ps -C X | 10:14 |
| test_ | on the orig. one? | 10:18 |
| test_ | nothing significant, should that do anything? | 10:23 |
| ledjo | hi, need some hlp, since my laptop's cd-rom doesn't work and I'm running xp at the only 1 partition, I thought I'd format half of my hdd with ext3/4 file sys, then wubi install xubuntu on it and then afterwards format the first half of the partition with linux file sys as well and so kill the xp, would this work? | 11:28 |
| ledjo | I already tried ntloadin or how its called but I couldn't format partitions with it so it couldn't proceed with install... | 11:30 |
| ledjo | or should I format the partition for linux in xp and then do this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519354 ?? | 11:37 |
| t_s_o | how about booting from usb? | 11:40 |
| dirtycookie | hello people i have installed xubuntu with the version 11.04, my problem is that i have a older monitor that apparently doesn't send doesn't give the OS it's resolutions that it can make. how can i add in xubuntu additional resolutions? | 11:49 |
| ledjo | I dont have usb boot option in bios. rv | 11:56 |
| ledjo | everyth is frustrating. Im searching for wubi-move-2.0.sh.tar.gz everywhere and cant find it | 11:57 |
| ledjo | im gonna have to forget about linux sys on this laptop | 11:58 |
| ledjo | so sad | 11:58 |
| dirtycookie | hello people, i just have installed xubuntu 11.04 and my problem is that i have a little old 19" screen that doesn't tell the OS about it's screen resolutions that it can make. how can i add a screen resolution manually? | 11:59 |
| ledjo | settings manager > display | 12:00 |
| dirtycookie | ledjo: changing is not a problem but add one | 12:01 |
| ledjo | u want to add "resolution" ? | 12:03 |
| Sysi | what graphics card? CRT display? | 12:03 |
| dirtycookie | it is a flat screen and i have an nvidia ion board | 12:03 |
| dirtycookie | from zotac | 12:03 |
| Sysi | you should try installing propietary nvidia driver | 12:04 |
| ledjo | install additional drivers from nvidia | 12:04 |
| Sysi | system → additional drivers | 12:04 |
| ledjo | yes | 12:04 |
| ledjo | so what about wubi? | 12:05 |
| Sysi | you don't do partitioning in wubi afaik, it creates virtual disk image or something | 12:06 |
| Sysi | mount .iso and use wubi.exe | 12:06 |
| dirtycookie | ill try to change the values in my settings editor | 12:06 |
| dirtycookie | and ill have to restart 1 sec | 12:06 |
| ledjo | I know that but there are instructions how to move it from virtual to phisical partition afterwards, for that u need wubi-move-2.0.sh.tar.gz, which is nowhere to find for download.. | 12:08 |
| ledjo | and that's why I'm depressed.. | 12:08 |
| Sysi | it's attached to that forum post | 12:13 |
| Sysi | on the bottom of the message | 12:14 |
| dirtycookie | ok im back, i checked also xrandr and the maximum resolution that i can make with this screen 1024x768 (but it can do 1280x1024 under windows) | 12:18 |
| dirtycookie | who can i change it to 1280x1024 | 12:18 |
| ledjo | thx sysi | 12:19 |
| dirtycookie | ?? | 12:20 |
| ledjo | go to settings > settings manager > display | 12:21 |
| dirtycookie | ok.. | 12:21 |
| dirtycookie | then? | 12:21 |
| dirtycookie | there is only 1024x768 | 12:22 |
| dirtycookie | max | 12:22 |
| ledjo | and yours screen res is 1280x1024 and u installed nvida drivers? | 12:23 |
| dirtycookie | i did that with the additional drivers already | 12:23 |
| ledjo | r u sure that your monitor has 1280 res? | 12:24 |
| dirtycookie | this pc was working on windows xp and with this monitor that im talking about, operated @ the resolution 1280x1024 | 12:25 |
| dirtycookie | im very sure about that | 12:25 |
| dirtycookie | i think xubuntu has somehow a default configuration when it cannot communicate with the screen in oder to ask for it's resolution | 12:26 |
| Sysi | dirtycookie: you installed the nvidia driver and rebooted? | 12:28 |
| Sysi | use the nvidia tool after that | 12:28 |
| dirtycookie | Sysi: if u mean "Activate the Driver" @ Additional drivers yes | 12:29 |
| Sysi | you selected nvidia-driver and rebooted? | 12:29 |
| dirtycookie | and @ the nvidia tool, i don't get the 1280x1024 resolution only @ the panning which is not what i want | 12:29 |
| ledjo | ok try installing windows drivers with ndiswrapper | 12:30 |
| dirtycookie | right after the installation i activated the driver and rebooted | 12:30 |
| Sysi | ledjo: that will never work | 12:30 |
| ledjo | worked for my wireless lan... | 12:30 |
| Sysi | nvidia tool should just work.. community is quite helpless with propietary stuff | 12:30 |
| Sysi | wlan isn't graphics | 12:30 |
| Sysi | dirtycookie: you propably need to add mode to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:31 |
| dirtycookie | Sysi: hold on let me get you the contents of that file | 12:31 |
| dirtycookie | here http://pastebin.com/qbsm9brN | 12:32 |
| dirtycookie | that is all there is | 12:32 |
| Sysi | nvidia tool has option to export xorg.conf | 12:33 |
| Sysi | export, edit it and then copy | 12:33 |
| dirtycookie | you mean save to X configuration file/ | 12:34 |
| dirtycookie | ? | 12:34 |
| Sysi | that | 12:34 |
| dirtycookie | here http://pastebin.com/UX0buf3S | 12:35 |
| Sysi | why is it configured as twinview? | 12:36 |
| dirtycookie | no idea | 12:36 |
| dirtycookie | the board has vga and dvi and my monitor is a vga | 12:37 |
| Sysi | but only one monitor connected? | 12:37 |
| dirtycookie | yes | 12:37 |
| dirtycookie | on the vga | 12:37 |
| ledjo | u want to tell us that it sees 2 monitors by default even if just one is attached ? | 12:41 |
| dirtycookie | yes | 12:42 |
| ledjo | and when u reinstall the nvidia drivers and restart? | 12:43 |
| dirtycookie | ill try that brb | 12:44 |
| ledjo | are there drivers u need on nvidia homepage? | 12:44 |
| Sysi | (please write "you") | 12:45 |
| ledjo | y? | 12:45 |
| ledjo | :) | 12:45 |
| Sysi | i think it's not drivers issue, but xorg | 12:45 |
| ledjo | pls write "I" | 12:45 |
| ledjo | :) | 12:45 |
| Sysi | and i'm not very good at it, but there should be many tutorials on internet | 12:45 |
| Sysi | *I'm | 12:45 |
| ledjo | I had problems with nvidia drivers on my desktop pc but when I reinstalled them with additional drivers option worked fine for me | 12:48 |
| Sysi | I had problems with jockey-gtk bot then I switched to fedora | 12:50 |
| dirtycookie | ok i just uninstalled the prop. driver and now i have 2 options @ the additional drivers | 13:00 |
| dirtycookie | the prop. and the experimental | 13:00 |
| dirtycookie | which one should i reinstall again? | 13:01 |
| ledjo | well propper I guess# | 13:02 |
| dirtycookie | ok ill do propper | 13:02 |
| dirtycookie | will need to restart brb | 13:02 |
| ledjo | if that doesn't work uninstall and try experimental | 13:03 |
| Sysi | experimental is newer version of default driver | 13:03 |
| ledjo | then try experimental immediately | 13:03 |
| ledjo | so sysi back to my cdrom issue, I searched | 13:04 |
| ledjo | and found out that I need to take out cdrom and clean the pins with sand paper | 13:04 |
| ledjo | of which I'm a bit skeptical.. | 13:05 |
| ledjo | does this sound right for you? | 13:05 |
| ledjo | I don't understand why when I try to install with unetbootin and come to formating step it doesn't recognizes anything in "device list" i. e. can't format hdd.. | 13:11 |
| dirtycookie | im back | 13:13 |
| dirtycookie | still have the 1024x768 resolution | 13:14 |
| ledjo | even with esperimental drivers? | 13:14 |
| dirtycookie | that is now the prop | 13:14 |
| ledjo | now try experimental since they're newer, says sysi | 13:15 |
| ledjo | uninstall them all and install just experimental | 13:16 |
| ledjo | :) | 13:16 |
| dirtycookie | in my settings editor i have in the displays section 3 display types | 13:16 |
| dirtycookie | vga dvi and default | 13:16 |
| dirtycookie | where are these configurations stored? | 13:16 |
| ledjo | but I'd still install newest drivers before doing anything | 13:17 |
| ledjo | else | 13:17 |
| dirtycookie | what do u want me to do first | 13:17 |
| dirtycookie | exprimental? | 13:17 |
| Sysi | propietary driver should work the best, you just need to find out how to add modes to xorg.conf | 13:18 |
| Sysi | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 se "Adding custom modeline" | 13:19 |
