[00:54] <mecklen> I have an old Compaq Presario 2200 that I'm running xubuntu 11.04 on.  I would like to use the 5 "custom" buttons at the top of the keyboard, but cannot determine the proper keyboard layout.  I've googled, but come up empty so far.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to determine the keyboard layout?  Thanks in advance.
[02:25] <Ain_> Can anyone help me find drivers for some hardware for 11.04?
[02:32] <philipballew> Ain_, what hardware?
[02:34] <Ain_> It's volume controls for an HP Touchsmart IQ526.
[02:34] <Ain_> I'm not sure where to find them.
[02:35] <Ain_> The HP site says to find them elsewhere for Linux. :(
[02:37] <philipballew> what did google say?
[02:39] <Ain_> Brought me to "Will this run Linux" threads for everything but the model I want. >.<
[02:42] <philipballew> im not sure, but if its a driver you need it might be in the kernal somewhere
[02:42] <Ain_> Then it should work just fine from install, right?
[02:43] <philipballew> well unless your computer is newww like super new or they just dont have a driver for it
[02:43] <Ain_> It was running Vista before, and it's at least 2 years old.
[02:46] <philipballew> you can probably do it manually
[02:47] <Ain_> I don't know how. I'm rather new to it, and I don't have the computer with me to actually play around. I set it up on my friends computer.
[02:55] <philipballew> hum. well then... not sure
[02:56] <Ain_> Damn. HP has a link to kernel.org, but I think the domain isn't registered.
[03:00] <Pici> kernel.org is down due to being comprimised recently.
[03:01] <Ain_> Ah.
[03:01] <Ain_> Maybe I'll just wait for it to come back up.
[10:56] <Fenixdeux> Hi. Big thanks for great OS
[10:56] <Fenixdeux> I've installed Compiz and CompizConfig but when from the mouse-menu I hover over Compiz-Config and click it nothing apparently happens
[10:56] <Fenixdeux> I think I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling but to no avail
[10:56] <Fenixdeux> so somewhere is a bug but I dunno where
[10:58] <cYmen> hm...how does samba browsing work and how do I do it from a shell? Does anybody know?
[10:59] <knome> cYmen, check out smbfs
[10:59] <cYmen> knome: I know how to mount stuff I can't figure out how to browse though...
[11:00] <Sysi> Fenixdeux: what if you try to run if from terminal?
[11:00] <knome> cYmen, how did you mount it then?
[11:00] <Fenixdeux> Sysi: I'll try that
[11:00] <cYmen> well if you know the host and everything you can just do it
[11:00] <cYmen> but I want to an overview of the network just like in the gui tools
[11:01] <Fenixdeux> Sysi: "CompizConfig command not found"
[11:01] <Fenixdeux> where do the installed binaries reside in ?
[11:01] <Fenixdeux> I think it's not in the path
[11:03] <Fenixdeux> Sysi: when I run 'compiz --help' I get compiz: error while loading shared libraries: libglibmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[11:03] <Fenixdeux> so must be that the CompizConfig is unable to start because compiz itself does not start
[11:05] <Sysi> Fenixdeux: IDK about that but use tabcompletin, type compi and press tab twice
[11:05] <Fenixdeux> 'k
[11:06] <Fenixdeux> gives 'compiz' and 'compiz-decorator'
[11:06] <Sysi> hum, how about ccsm?
[11:07] <Fenixdeux> compiz: error while loading shared libraries: libglibmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'
[11:08] <Fenixdeux> ccsm exits with that
[11:09] <Fenixdeux> I unsinstall and reinstall compiz
[11:47] <Fenixdeux> Sysi: I removed and readded a few libraries and now CompizConfig works but 'compiz --replace' complains "Found no decorator to start" what do I do now ?
[11:48] <Sysi> enable window decorations plugin and find suitable decorator for it
[11:49] <Sysi> compiz-decorator or gtk-window-decorator might work
[12:33] <Jonty> hi, I'm trying to move my window buttons to the right hand side using the gconf metacity trick, but it's not working. do i have to do something different for xfce?
[12:33] <Sysi> settings → window manager and drag how you want them
[12:34] <Sysi> they should be in right side by default.. using compiz?
[12:34] <Jonty> not knowingly
[12:35] <Jonty> weird...if i select Window Manager directly from the menu, nothing happens, and if i do it from the settings manager i just get a blank screen
[12:35] <Jonty> is there a command for it so i can see if it gives any error?
[12:35] <Sysi> first try alt+F2 "xfwm4 --replace"
[12:36] <Jonty> oh. that sorted it haha
[12:36] <Jonty> thanks
[12:36] <Jonty> i'd deleted my session files cos xfwm4 wasn't starting automatically
[12:36] <Jonty> must have been that
[12:37] <Sysi> saving session on logout should be enough
[12:37] <Sysi> to be sure you can delete ~/.cache/session
[12:38] <Jonty> how do i do that, just logout normally?
[12:38] <Jonty> save the session i mean
[12:38] <Sysi> there's tap on logout window
[13:31] <TheSheep> und3f: can you pastebin the result of doing 'dpkg -l | grep mysql' in terminal?
[13:35] <und3f> Thermi, http://pastebin.com/suS6a3Ce
[13:35] <TheSheep> looks like it's installed correctly
[13:35] <TheSheep> did you modify anything or install anything else related to mysql?
[13:35] <Sysi> have you rebooted after installing it?
[13:35] <TheSheep> Sysi: that's not required
[13:35] <TheSheep> Sysi: it's not windows
[13:35] <Sysi> shouldn't be..
[13:35] <und3f> Thermi, no, i didn't modified anything. Just installed and tried to start it
[13:35] <TheSheep> und3f: did you use sudo?
[13:35] <und3f> TheSheep, yes
[13:36] <TheSheep> try 'sudo /etc/init.d/mysql-server restart'
[13:36] <TheSheep> (it should do the same thing as service mysql start'
[13:39] <und3f> TheSheep, i tried it before service command. And it told me to use service. Also result is the same
[13:47] <TheSheep> und3f: no idea what might be the problem, you can try googling or searching the forums
[13:48] <TheSheep> und3f: or asking at #ubuntu, that part is common anyways
[13:53] <und3f> Thermi, i've tried, but thanks for a help
[13:53] <und3f> i mean TheSheep
[20:09] <maryfive> Hello !
[20:10] <maryfive> I'm a new user of Xubuntu
[20:10] <maryfive> I've installed it on a new disk
[20:10] <maryfive> the installation is ok
[20:11] <maryfive> but it doesn't start normaly
[20:11] <charlie-tca> maryfive: what does it do?
[20:12] <maryfive> it only start with "sans echec"
[20:12] <charlie-tca> !details
[20:12] <Olbi> what hardware do you have?
[20:14] <maryfive> sorry : version Xubuntu 11.04
[20:14] <maryfive> i've a compaq ith AMD athlon XP-M
[20:14] <maryfive> nvidia 32Mo
[20:15] <maryfive> athlon 2x800Mhz and 512 Mo Ram
[20:16] <maryfive> the Xubuntu start only if i unplug all USB
[20:17] <maryfive> and in the grub choice : sans echec (second ligne)
[20:18] <maryfive> and i've to press "Echap" when on the screen appear "search for floppy disk..."
[20:19] <Olbi> so old hardware :P
[20:20] <maryfive> then i've the blue screen of depanage and i choice "restart graphic session" (the end choice)
[20:20] <Olbi> what nvidia graphics?
[20:20] <maryfive> Oh yes, it's so Old (2004) but it work very good
[20:21] <Olbi> I have been installing Xubuntu 11.04 on AthlonXP 1800+ 130nm with FX5200 and 512 RAM. Some time it was problem with boot, but restart comp helps to boot wll
[20:21] <Olbi> well
[20:21] <Olbi> with old hardawre is problem with pluggeg pendrives
[20:22] <Olbi> sometime mouse or keyboard doesnt work on USB
[20:22] <charlie-tca> If Xubuntu without the usb drive plugged in, you need to change cmos settings to tell it boot the hard drive first
[20:23] <maryfive> how to change cmos ?
[20:24] <charlie-tca> That I do not know for the computer. Each one is different. Maybe hit del or ins or F2 or F10 on starting the computer
[20:25] <charlie-tca> but the easy way is to just not have the usb drive plugged in when starting. USB drives can be plugged in after Xubuntu starts
[20:26] <maryfive> ok i see, the cmos is where we can set the HD and the time of PC ...
[20:27] <maryfive> for my pc it is F10
[20:28] <maryfive> Yes, i can plug usb mouse after, but to start i have to launch the mode without echec
[20:29] <maryfive> and press echap regularly to have the blue screen
[20:30] <maryfive> of depanage of Xubuntu
[20:31] <maryfive> i read on forum that my be cause by the graphic car
[20:31] <maryfive> card
[20:31] <maryfive> where i can see the type of nvidia graphic ?
[20:32] <maryfive> hello
[20:33] <Myrtti> do you know how to use the terminal?
[20:33] <maryfive> i can launch terminal
[20:33] <maryfive> i use sudo ...
[20:34] <Myrtti> if you type into it "lshw -C display" that should show it. you can copy the text over to http://paste.ubuntu.com and give us a link so we can see it
[20:35] <maryfive> on terminal i see ùy name and : Presario-R3200-PJ850EA-ABF = the model ofmy pc

[20:36] <Myrtti> I did tell you to use paste.ubuntu.com...
[20:37] <Myrtti> anyway
[20:38] <maryfive> ok, i do
[20:39] <Myrtti> so you've got Geforce 4 420 then
[20:48] <maryfive> i would say that after start Xubuntu, my PC work good. it's that start that is difficult and not sure
[21:01] <maryfive> do i change the grub
[21:02] <maryfive> by using "e"
[21:06] <charlie-tca> for one boot, yes
[21:06] <charlie-tca> To change it for every boot, boot to the desktop, then edit /etc/default/grub
[21:12] <maryfive> i  use paste.ubuntu.com
[21:12] <maryfive> you can see my grub
[21:12] <maryfive> and what i can change ?
[21:15] <charlie-tca> What are you trying to make happen?
[21:16] <charlie-tca> also, when you use paste.ubuntu.com, it gives you a new page. You have to copy and paste the URL here for us to see it
[21:17] <maryfive> http://paste.ubuntu.com/685588/
[21:18] <charlie-tca> I see it. Now, what do you need it to do?
[21:19] <charlie-tca> To give messages in text when booting, just remove the quiet splash from between the quotes on line 11. Then it should tell you what it is doing all the time, instead of a pretty screen.
[21:20] <maryfive> i think that it do a start without blocking on black screen
[21:23] <maryfive> ok i do it, 'update-grub and i restart my pc, thank's
[21:24] <maryfive> i'll give news as soon as I find where it blocks
