| JeZ-l-Lee | running Xubuntu 11.04 - in Thunar file manager, how do I search for files?? | 01:27 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | search for files in the currect directory or on the computer? | 01:28 |
| JeZ-l-Lee | current directory | 01:28 |
| knome | type | 01:28 |
| JeZ-l-Lee | thats not what I need - how to search for say all *.DOC files in a folder | 01:29 |
| knome | there is no such feature - try catfish | 01:30 |
| JeZ-l-Lee | ugg, kind of an important feature | 01:30 |
| knome | free to file a wishlist bug. | 01:30 |
| JeZ-l-Lee | what is catfish? | 01:31 |
| knome | it's an application that *drumroll* searches for files, which is what you are asking | 01:31 |
| JeZ-l-Lee | that works, thanks | 01:33 |
| JeZ-l-Lee | its already installed | 01:33 |
| knome | yes | 01:33 |

| changeth1s | am I on? | 15:56 |
| Drone4four | i accidentally removed the item on my xfce panel which had the wifi connection icon..... | 18:28 |
| Drone4four | now there is no way for me to connect to my wirless network | 18:28 |
| Drone4four | i looked everywhere in Add New Items, but can't find the app | 18:29 |
| Drone4four | what app should i be looking for | 18:29 |
| * Drone4four pokes #xubuntu | 18:29 | |
| Drone4four | should I also be asking in #xfce? | 18:29 |
| pleia2 | Drone4four: it should be the network manager applet, lemme see.. | 18:30 |
| pleia2 | Drone4four: you want "notification area" | 18:31 |
| Drone4four | pleia2, i found the Notification Area entry in the Add New Items but it is greyed out and I can't Add it | 18:32 |
| pleia2 | hm, odd | 18:32 |
| aatk | It's probably already there | 18:32 |
| aatk | alt+f2 then type nm-applet and press enter | 18:32 |
| Drone4four | when I type nm-applet at the command line, it says, "An instance of the nm-applet is already running." | 18:34 |
| aatk | open a term, 'killall nm-applet' and try it again | 18:34 |
| Drone4four | aatk, pleia2: after i killall nm-applet and retype nm-applet, it seems to hang with the error saying "(nm-applet:1878): DEBUS: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0" | 18:37 |
| aatk | Drone4four: have you tried rebooting your machine? | 19:07 |
| aatk | or logging out/in? | 19:07 |
| Drone4four | aatk, i rebooted and that fixed the problem...ty pleia2 + aatk | 19:18 |
| aatk | cool, glad it works now :) | 19:29 |
| moxyr | Are there some people here who can help me debug a boot delay issue | 19:49 |
| moxyr | it tried the ubuntu-boot channel, but nobody except the logbot was there | 19:49 |
| aatk | maybe, what's up? | 19:50 |
| Sysi | try installing bootchart and see images it makes | 19:50 |
| moxyr | tried bootchart but the delay is after grub has finished and before init runs | 19:50 |
| moxyr | When I boot my system I first get the BIOS | 19:51 |
| moxyr | everything goes according to plan | 19:51 |
| moxyr | then I get grub | 19:51 |
| moxyr | everything still oke | 19:52 |
| moxyr | grub finishes with a blank screen and a pulsing white underscore | 19:52 |
| moxyr | the screen goes completely black, no pulsing white underscore | 19:53 |
| moxyr | the HDD let pulses for a short time | 19:53 |
| moxyr | 10 seconds of nothing | 19:53 |
| moxyr | the HDD led goes on again but longer | 19:53 |
| moxyr | and the systen boots | 19:53 |
| moxyr | Everything is the same as my previous install with 10.04 except for the 10 seconds of darkness | 19:54 |
| moxyr | I tried /var/log/syslog, but it only starts logging after the delay | 19:55 |
| moxyr | I checked grub timeout in the /etc/default/grub and changed the parameters about timeouts, but it remained 10 seconds | 19:55 |
| moxyr | As already said bootchart didn't show anything relevant since it starts after the delay | 19:56 |
| moxyr | So any idea's what is causing this? | 19:57 |
| moxyr | Or how do you troubleshoot something that runs before init? | 19:57 |
| moxyr | s/runs/happens | 19:57 |
| aatk | does your grub command line have "quiet splash" in it? might be worth removing that (and turning off any splash graphics) and watching hte text | 20:03 |
| moxyr | Already removed those when I installed the system | 20:04 |
| moxyr | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="elevator=noop" | 20:05 |
| aatk | have you run update-grub? | 20:05 |
| Sysi | you may need to put "text" as option | 20:05 |
| moxyr | Yes I have, every time I changed a timeout setting | 20:05 |
| moxyr | is text the same as nosplash? | 20:06 |
| Sysi | I don't quite know | 20:06 |
| moxyr | that's oke. I don't know it either | 20:07 |
| aatk | does dmesg have anything immediatly after boot? | 20:09 |
| * moxyr is rebooting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text elevator=noop" | 20:09 | |
| moxyr | aatk: will answer after reboot ;) | 20:10 |
| moxyr | text-option had the same issue | 20:12 |
| moxyr | grub -> 10 seconds of nothingness -> console login | 20:13 |
| moxyr | as far as I can tell it looks normal | 20:15 |
| moxyr | I shall post the first 4 seconds on pastebin | 20:15 |
| aatk | are you dual booting? or have any weird partitions/booting of SD or USB? | 20:17 |
| moxyr | dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/641491/ | 20:17 |
| moxyr | Single boot, fresh install (No upgrade for old install), no USB drives are attached | 20:18 |
| moxyr | output of fdisk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/641493/ | 20:19 |
| aatk | I'm going to reboot and see if I have any delay | 20:20 |
| moxyr | oke :) | 20:20 |
| aatk | it takes about 10s for me to get from grub->login screen | 20:24 |
| aatk | maybe slightly longer | 20:25 |
| moxyr | is your disk active for 10sec? | 20:25 |
| moxyr | My bootchart reports 8.23 seconds but when i use a stopwatch i get around 18 seconds | 20:27 |
| aatk | not sure, the leds are broken | 20:28 |
| moxyr | probably because the profiler/collector only runs after the delay... | 20:28 |
| moxyr | oke no problem | 20:29 |
| cetchmoh_ | hi there | 20:31 |
| moxyr | hi | 20:32 |
| knome | hello | 20:32 |
| moxyr | While googling I found that the bliking underscore "is what you get after GRUB boots the default OS but before init loads the kernel DRM module." | 20:34 |
| moxyr | so it isn't grub (or grub2 in this case) | 20:35 |
| cetchmoh_ | I'm having a bit of trouble here... I changed my alsa configuration to use my usb sound card as default and everything works perfectly, except I have no sound in flash anymore :/ | 20:35 |
| cetchmoh_ | any ideas whats going on here? | 20:35 |
| aatk | I'll reboot again in a few minutes and see if I can hear when the disk spins up (fan is pretty noisy) i should really get a new laptop | 20:36 |
| knome | cetchmoh_, it might be that pulseaudio is messing stuff up. you could try installing pavucontrol and see if everything looks okay there | 20:36 |
| moxyr | aatk: maybe if you take a bootchart and it says 11 seconds then you know you dont have the same delay | 20:37 |
| cetchmoh_ | knome: mplayer is working fine with -ao pulse and -ao alsa | 20:37 |
| knome | cetchmoh_, i'm no expert in audio, but that might be something to start with at least :) | 20:38 |
| cetchmoh_ | hmm... pavucontrol settings look okay... | 20:38 |
| aatk | rebooting w/ bootchart | 20:40 |
| moxyr | aatk: any luck with rebooting? :) | 20:50 |
| aatk | booted into windows by accident first time round | 20:50 |
| aatk | i should really sleep | 20:50 |
| aatk | just opening bootchart now | 20:51 |
| * moxyr will also need sleep in 30 minutes | 20:53 | |
| moxyr | aatk: do you need my bootchart for comparison? | 20:53 |
| aatk | I'm just checking 2 of mine | 20:53 |
| aatk | and they're totally different | 20:53 |
| aatk | most recent has a 10-14 second delay caused by ureadahead :/ | 20:54 |
| aatk | previous one looks normal | 20:54 |
| moxyr | probably because installing bootchart caused a reprofile by ureadahead? | 20:55 |
| aatk | it's the more recent one with the delay | 20:55 |
| aatk | 1st one after installing bootchart looks fine | 20:56 |
| moxyr | that's odd to say at least... | 20:56 |
| aatk | yeah | 20:56 |
| moxyr | ureadahead seems to be nice according to the bootchart here | 21:00 |
| moxyr | so if it's after grub but before the collector of bootchart | 21:02 |
| moxyr | then we have "loading of the kernel", "bootstrapping with initramfs" and "init" | 21:03 |
| moxyr | meh, again an unsuccesfull evening | 21:12 |
| moxyr | time to sleep. Tomorrow another try | 21:13 |
| moxyr | aatk: thanks for your effort | 21:13 |
| moxyr | too bad we couldn't find it | 21:14 |
| moxyr | have a good night everyone | 21:14 |
| knome | night moxyr | 21:14 |
| === moxyr is now known as moxyr|zzz | ||
| knome | moxyr|zzz, please try to avoid awaynicks (away message is enough), thanks! :) | 21:15 |
| Arthenik | hi there, I have a problem with the alternate installation CD. I use unetbootin to load it onto my flash disk but the installation procedure crashes because it cannot find a CD drive. i don't have a CD drive on my netbook and neither do I have access to an external drive | 22:44 |
| Arthenik | would anyone know how to fix that issue? thanks :) | 22:45 |
| madnick | Does it say that it is the CD drive that is the issue? | 22:48 |
| madnick | Or does it say that it cannot find packages? | 22:48 |
| Arthenik | i do not have the dialog in front of me, but it complained of being unable to mount the cd drive | 22:48 |
| Arthenik | it is not a package problem | 22:48 |
| madnick | ok | 22:49 |
| madnick | You should probably dump to the terminal and find out the exact issue | 22:49 |
| Arthenik | alright, how do i dump? i'm quite comfortable with the console :) | 22:50 |
| madnick | You could switch using ctrl+alt+fx | 22:51 |
| Arthenik | will it contain the error code without my cooperation? | 22:53 |
| madnick | Arthenik: the right terminal will contain it all | 22:55 |
| Arthenik | alright, sounds good. thanks :) i'm redownloading the CD at the moment, so I'll try it later. thanks again | 22:55 |
| madnick | I wouldnt use unetbootin, it installs its own little enivronment on the disk you use | 22:56 |
| madnick | Rather use the Startup Disk Creator | 22:56 |
| Arthenik | does it work with all varieties of live cds? | 22:56 |
| madnick | I would suppose it works for all kinds of boot images | 22:57 |
| madnick | Ive used it for dump my own OS onto USB | 22:57 |
| knome | afaik, the usb disk creator needs a desktop image | 22:58 |
| Arthenik | ah, i see it only works on linux. unfortunately, i only have access to a windows workstation ATM | 22:58 |
| Arthenik | but I'm checking alternatives | 22:58 |
| madnick | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tools_to_create_Live_USB_systems | 23:00 |
| madnick | nvm me, sorry, didnt read what it said | 23:00 |
