[01:02] <jbrouhard> xrdodrx,  I'm assuming your keyboard worked on the live CD ?
[01:03] <xrdodrx> jbrouhard, indeed it did, i would have preferred console but i'm sure an i5 and 4GB of RAM were plenty for the graphical install :)
[01:03] <jbrouhard> rofl
[01:04] <jbrouhard> Does the keyboard work, at all, in console mode ?
[01:04] <xrdodrx> right before i get to the debian-installer
[01:04] <xrdodrx> it works at the boot menu
[01:04] <xrdodrx> but not past
[01:04] <jbrouhard> Mouse works tho?
[01:04] <xrdodrx> yup
[01:04] <jbrouhard> the hell
[01:04] <xrdodrx> first computer i ever built lol
[01:04] <jbrouhard> Try plugging it into a different USB port
[01:05] <xrdodrx> i was nervous enough, flipped when the keyboard wasn't working :P
[01:05] <jbrouhard> I'd check BIOS tho.. Just cause keyboard works in bios doesn't mean it'll work in the OS.  Be sure that you have USB settings set up properly
[01:05] <xrdodrx> but jbrouhard
[01:05] <jbrouhard> one way to tell if the keyboard's working is to hit the number lock button :)
[01:05] <xrdodrx> it worked on the boot menu
[01:06] <xrdodrx> install xubuntu/ check disk for errors / memtest, etc
[01:06] <jbrouhard> Yeah.. you said that.
[01:06] <xrdodrx> i tried everything in BIOS i could think of
[01:06] <xrdodrx> :(
[01:06] <jbrouhard> hmm
[01:06] <jbrouhard> Try a different USB port just to see what happens
[01:06] <jbrouhard> if the numberlock indicator come son when you push the button it *SHOULD* be working
[01:06] <xrdodrx> it already installed but i'll give it a whirl soon :)
[01:06] <xrdodrx> i didn't even think of that
[01:07] <jbrouhard> :-)
[01:07] <xrdodrx> jbrouhard, i built this compy with xubuntu in mind, actually :D
[01:07] <jbrouhard> it's a good way to tell if the keyboard is "working" in terms of getting a signal from the computer
[01:07] <jbrouhard> hehe
[01:07] <jbrouhard> *ANY* computer can run Xubuntu
[01:07] <jbrouhard> period
[01:07] <xrdodrx> true
[01:07] <xrdodrx> but i've been completely free as in freedom at home since 2006 :)
[01:08] <jbrouhard> good for ya ;)
[01:08] <xrdodrx> i'll try that usb thing, i alsoo found a very similar bug against debian-installer
[01:08] <xrdodrx> i'm not sure how old the version in xubuntu is
[01:08] <xrdodrx> but i'll definitely report whatever i find to launchpad
[01:08] <jbrouhard> Which version of Xubuntu did you install?
[01:08] <jbrouhard> latest is 11.04
[01:08] <xrdodrx> 11.04, amd64
[01:09] <jbrouhard> Same version as mine then

[07:54] <csenger41> is there anyone here?
[09:07] <knobydobs> hello
[09:13] <knobydobs1> my windows in my default user have no escape buttons and you cannot move the windows either. most of the time there is a X an the mouse or no mouse at all. how do i fix this. all is fine in the root user
[09:13] <madnick> You can --replace xfwm
[09:13] <madnick> Let me look for the entire command :)
[09:14] <knobydobs1> how
[09:14] <knobydobs1> ohh
[09:15] <madnick> xfwm4 --replace
[09:15] <knobydobs1> thanks
[09:16] <madnick> However, you need to save the session probably, you can easily do that by logging out and make sure "save this session" is marked
[09:16] <knobydobs1> the screen flashed a couple of times and now the terminal has gone weird
[09:16] <madnick> Oh, you should probably not have done this in tty7
[09:17] <madnick> Sorry, I have not been sleeping for over 30 hours :)
[09:21] <knobydobs> thanks madnick but now when i log in the keyboard does not work
[09:22] <madnick> wierd
[09:23] <knobydobs> well it works once or twice but i cannot type into terminal
[09:23] <knobydobs> i have an idea
[09:23] <madnick> No text at all?
[09:23] <knobydobs> if i boot into recovery mode the keyboard works
[09:24] <knobydobs> but nothing in a user session
[09:24] <madnick> Likley the session somehow got mixed up and stuff isnt starting properly, there is a simple way of fixing that, but I do not have the link
[09:24] <madnick> !session
[09:24] <knobydobs> ok
[09:24] <madnick> Hm
[09:25] <madnick> !xfwm
[09:25] <knobydobs> ok thankyou
[09:26] <madnick> There is acctually a FAQ somewhere, with session problematics on it, but I cannot find it
[09:45] <knobydobs> hello
[09:46] <knobydobs> again
[09:46] <knobydobs> thanyou madnick all is now well
[09:46] <madnick> glad to hear that :)

[15:00] <Dice-Man> i hope they won't laugh at me
[15:05] <GridCube> why would they, desktop have not much to do whit what you do whit your computer, and they shouldnt interfere whit your work Dice-Man
[15:06] <Sysi> you won't be laughed at on ubuntu channels
[15:07] <Dice-Man> err okay

[15:47] <oso1> anyone can help me
[16:02] <Mito125> hi
[16:16] <GridCube> !hello
[16:18] <oso1> estoy aqui
[16:19] <Mito125> hi, I installed a minimal version of ubuntu, after installation, i wrote in shell apt-get install xorg xfce4, i started X with startx command and in shell i wrote apt-get install xubuntu-default-settings... After restart, I'm block at gdm login...
[16:21] <GridCube> Mito125, thats not how you should install xubuntu
[16:22] <Mito125> How should I install xubuntu???
[16:22] <GridCube> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[16:25] <Mito125> xubuntu-desktop have more packages that i don't want...For example firefox...
[16:26] <GridCube> mmm
[16:26] <GridCube> Mito125, use --no-recomends
[16:27] <GridCube> --no-install-recomends
[16:27] <GridCube> --no-install-recommends
[16:27] <GridCube> there >sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop --no-install-recommends
[16:28] <GridCube> that should not install all that stuff
[16:28] <Mito125> I'm trying... two minute...
[16:28] <GridCube> :D
[16:29] <Mito125> thanks for now :)
[16:29] <GridCube> :D
[16:32] <Mito125> sorry for my english, i'm italian... Now I do a restart...
[16:33] <Mito125> It don't work... it stopped in the same point
[16:34] <GridCube> :/
[16:34] <Mito125> eheheehe
[16:35] <GridCube> you fixed it?
[16:35] <Mito125> no
[16:36] <GridCube> so whats your problem then?
[16:38] <Mito125> I'm block at gdm login. if I login, gdm hide it and reshown
[16:39] <charlie-tca> It does it because you don't have enough of the required apps installed to make Xfce work
[16:39] <Mito125> What can I do?
[16:40] <charlie-tca> I would say either install xubuntu, or, if it is too much for the computer, install Lubuntu intead.
[16:40] <GridCube> id recommend you to install a plain xubuntu distro from scratch
[16:40] <GridCube> maybe whit the free software option enabled
[16:40] <charlie-tca> If you are running something you designed yourself, we won't be able to help you with it
[16:41] <Mito125> ok thank u... bye
[16:42] <charlie-tca> We can't really help someone that decides they only want half of what is needed
[16:58] <pauld> I'm using xubuntu 11.04 and I'm having some ui problems.  There are not minimize/maximize/close buttons on the windows, I cannot alt-tab to switch apps, I cannot use the terminal when any other application is open as the keyboard won't focus there, when I choose reboot or shutdown it only logs me out.  What should I check to try to fix this?
[17:38] <tMH-> re *
[17:39] <tMH-> ppl, I just installed xubuntu on my 3rd computer from the 90s but the system won't load - showing 3/4 of screen with 'loading [ok]' and then stops. I suppose it is ACPI stuff (which bothered me on my 2nd PC with Ubuntu) - so the question - how do I change boot settings to disable ACPI usage?
[17:41] <SaaMmY> w
[17:41] <tMH-> should I boot from CD again and then edit some file on installed hdd?
[17:41] <SaaMmY> w
[17:41] <SaaMmY> w
[17:41] <SaaMmY> w
[17:41] <SaaMmY> w
[17:41] <SaaMmY> w
[17:41] <SaaMmY> w
[17:41] <SaaMmY> w
[17:41] <SaaMmY> w
[17:41] <tMH-> seammy: it's ok for your IQ level.
[17:41] <SaaMmY> ok
[17:41] <tMH-> keep trying.
[17:41] <SaaMmY> sorry I have little problem
[17:43] <Unit193> SaaMmY: There should be something like other options at the bottom of the CD menu, that's where you disable it
[17:43] <tMH-> unit193: is your answer for me or really for saammy?;)
[17:43] <Unit193> tMH-: Oh, yeah. You
[17:44] <tMH-> Unit193 - ok, I got it. I think I should load from installation CD in live mode and then modify boot load parameters. just one small Q: - if there is NO GRUB(2) menu appearance - does it mean that GRUB(2) is not installed at all?
[17:45] <tMH-> and if it is - what file on installed hdd should I modify to disable ACPI at all ?
[17:45] <Pici> Just hold down shift when you boot and you will see the grub prompt.
[17:46] <tMH-> aha!
[17:46] <Pici> Press e to edit and you can change paramters there.
[17:46] <tMH-> pici: I see!
[17:46] <Unit193> tMH-: Installed system? My bad
[17:46] <tMH-> thanks A LOT!
[17:46] <Pici> np
[17:46] <tMH-> Unit193 - yeah
[17:46] <tMH-> ACPI fscking again, fsck it.
[17:46] <Unit193> Wow I'm tired...
[17:56]  * tMH- is gone. Away after 10 minutes of inactivity [Since: 09/04/11 21:56:24 MSK]
[18:09] <tMH-> ok, it seems now passing through the stuff but won't load GUI...
[18:09] <tMH-> I understand it's an _old_ nvidia Vanta with 8mb ram
[18:09] <tMH-> but the xubuntu liveCD works nice with it
[18:10] <tMH-> what should I do to make GUI appear from installed hdd?
