| knome | hmmm... have you googled that error? i've never seen that | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| br1 | yes | 00:00 |
| br1 | the guide worked just fine, i could get installed the driver i downloaded but theres no mention f this | 00:01 |
| knome | can you get into the gdm login screen at all? | 00:01 |
| br1 | no, monitor go black and i have to press Ctrl Alt F1 | 00:02 |
| br1 | to get console | 00:02 |
| knome | right... | 00:02 |
| br1 | and then i tried that | 00:02 |
| br1 | maybe i got the wrong driver :S | 00:02 |
| knome | looks like the driver just isn't working with your card | 00:02 |
| knome | what's your card? | 00:03 |
| br1 | but i dont think so | 00:03 |
| br1 | and oldie, Nvidia Geforce2 Mx 400 | 00:03 |
| knome | hmm. | 00:03 |
| knome | might be that not working with the driver | 00:03 |
| knome | do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf now? | 00:04 |
| br1 | its so old that video doesnt work properly with the generic driver | 00:04 |
| br1 | aparently yes, but i cant access it | 00:04 |
| knome | with sudo, you should be | 00:04 |
| knome | 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf' | 00:04 |
| br1 | let me see, i have both computers side by side | 00:05 |
| br1 | yay | 00:07 |
| br1 | xorg in on | 00:07 |
| ElderDryas | The 96.43.xx driver supports the following set of GPUs: GeForce2 MX/MX 400 | 00:07 |
| br1 | yes, i downloaded the 96.43.20 | 00:08 |
| br1 | installation went without troubles | 00:08 |
| knome | br1, there should be a device section with the card information. comment that out (add # to the start of the lines), and try rebooting | 00:08 |
| br1 | but after reboot i got the problem | 00:08 |
| knome | br1, that should make you able to log in, at least... | 00:09 |
| br1 | i found that section | 00:11 |
| br1 | section "Device" | 00:11 |
| knome | ok, now add # to every line until endsection | 00:11 |
| br1 | before every line? example #Driver "nvidia" | 00:12 |
| knome | yep | 00:12 |
| br1 | 1sec | 00:12 |
| knome | that should make the boot use the generic driver, and you should be able to log in | 00:12 |
| knome | (graphically) | 00:12 |
| br1 | how do i save changes? | 00:13 |
| knome | ctrl+O, then ctrl+X to exit | 00:13 |
| knome | (you might need to hit enter after ctrl+O :)) | 00:14 |
| br1 | rebooting | 00:14 |
| br1 | nope, blank monitor :( | 00:17 |
| knome | hmmh :/ | 00:17 |
| br1 | hate this old video card :P | 00:17 |
| br1 | always gave me trouble | 00:18 |
| knome | they can be problematic, yeah | 00:18 |
| br1 | i think i'll start over | 00:19 |
| br1 | do u happen to know a step by step guide on installing video card driver on xubuntu? | 00:19 |
| knome | !nvidia | 00:19 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 00:19 |
| br1 | thank you, ill try that way | 00:20 |
| knome | np, and good luck | 00:21 |
| br1 | you too | 00:21 |
| br1 | c ya | 00:21 |

| sandra_ | I trust you all are doing well . | 01:09 |
| sandra_ | I am new to Xubuntu and too linux and I hope someone can be kind enough to help me. | 01:09 |
| sandra_ | My son just installed Xubuntu on my laptop . I followed the instructions he left for updating my new OS . | 01:10 |
| sandra_ | But unfortunately there seems to be a problem with the Oneiric repositories | 01:10 |
| sandra_ | Is it me or anyone else experiencing problems connecting to the oneiric repositories ? | 01:11 |
| zenrox | oneiric?? | 01:11 |
| sandra_ | zenrox: yes oneiric | 01:12 |
| zenrox | hmm | 01:12 |
| zenrox | let me look it up | 01:12 |
| sandra_ | I attempt to update but I can't at this time. | 01:12 |
| sandra_ | zenrox: Thank you | 01:12 |
| zenrox | ok | 01:13 |
| zenrox | there repos might be down | 01:13 |
| zenrox | or something else | 01:13 |
| zenrox | i havnt even updated to that os yet | 01:14 |
| zenrox | i am still useing 11.04 | 01:14 |
| zenrox | your useing 11.10 | 01:14 |
| zenrox | that is not even released | 01:14 |
| zenrox | yet | 01:14 |
| sandra_ | zenrox: My son installed it on my HP Laptop | 01:15 |
| zenrox | he should of installed a stable ver not a devel ver | 01:15 |
| zenrox | slap your son | 01:15 |
| zenrox | lol | 01:15 |
| sandra_ | zenrox: hahaha | 01:15 |
| zenrox | its his bad | 01:16 |
| zenrox | but it is ok | 01:16 |
| zenrox | go to your menu system and look for update manager | 01:16 |
| sandra_ | zenrox: Well I do have to say it sure is different from windows. | 01:16 |
| zenrox | yep | 01:16 |
| Unit193 | At this late in the cycle, not a whole lot is going to change | 01:17 |
| zenrox | still | 01:17 |
| sandra_ | zenrox: I did go to my update manager but it's a no go so far. | 01:18 |
| zenrox | you do a check | 01:19 |
| zenrox | if it fails type the error here | 01:20 |
| sandra_ | Yes I checked that is why I asked if anyone else was having problems along these lines too . | 01:20 |
| zenrox | hmm | 01:21 |
| sandra_ | But it seems I'm the only one currently using Xubuntu Oneiric on this channel lol | 01:22 |
| zenrox | i am gona update to it | 01:22 |
| zenrox | right now | 01:22 |
| zenrox | now that i have a stable inet i can run a devel os | 01:23 |
| zenrox | i have bine with ubuntu from the first version that was released long time ago | 01:24 |
| sandra_ | I have heard a lot of positive things about Ubuntu. | 01:25 |
| zenrox | ubuntu just plain works | 01:27 |
| sandra_ | zenrox: What slice of the globe do you call home ? | 01:28 |
| zenrox | some ove the other ver of linux out thare all are getting to the point whare ubuntu is | 01:28 |
| zenrox | washington state | 01:28 |
| sandra_ | zenrox: wow I'm from washington state too. | 01:29 |
| sandra_ | what a coincidence | 01:29 |
| zenrox | whare at | 01:30 |
| sandra_ | what part of washington state are you from ? | 01:30 |
| zenrox | moses lake area | 01:30 |
| sandra_ | I'm from Olympia | 01:31 |
| zenrox | so your in a big city you should fine a lug (linux users group) | 01:32 |
| zenrox | find | 01:32 |
| sandra_ | will look into that I might try Linuxmint too been reading about it too. | 01:34 |
| zenrox | linuxmint is nice too but has its own qwerks | 01:36 |
| sandra_ | what kind of qwerks would those be ? | 01:38 |
| zenrox | thats upto the hardware and config | 01:38 |
| zenrox | my network card was harder to get worken | 01:38 |
| sandra_ | But isn't Linuxmint like Xubuntu based on Ubuntu ? | 01:43 |
| sandra_ | I just assumed the drivers would be the same. | 01:44 |
| zenrox | not necarly | 01:48 |
| zenrox | but essently the same | 01:48 |
| uofm49426 | can i still use bttv in xubuntu 10.10 | 02:11 |
| zenrox | you mean 11.10? | 02:12 |
| sandra_ | Any chance anyone else here among my fellow Xubuntu inmates is having troubles connecting to oneiric repositories for updates ? | 02:12 |
| zenrox | sandra i dont think you can connect is cause the repos are overloaded | 02:13 |
| zenrox | i am d/l from them right at the moment | 02:13 |
| sandra_ | wow I wonder why and what would cause that ? | 02:14 |
| zenrox | ppl upgrading/getting updates just the repos or being over used | 02:14 |
| zenrox | just wate 24hrs and it should be fine | 02:15 |
| zenrox | brb ciggy break | 02:15 |

| zenrox | * Ping reply from XubuntuKris: 0.36 second(s) | 03:01 |

| DominosPizza | Hello. Will Xubuntu try and force a GUI nobody likes on it's users like Ubuntu in later releases ? | 05:02 |
| zenrox | NOPE | 05:06 |
| zenrox | just xfce is all it will force on its users | 05:06 |
| DominosPizza | otay.. Next question.. to LTS or not to LTS? Would I really be missing out in some 'latest mumbo jumbo' ? | 05:07 |
| zenrox | naw you can keep uptodate with latest realices all you want | 05:08 |
| zenrox | lts is just one that thay will support longer | 05:08 |
| DominosPizza | Well, I just didn't want to be bothered with distro upgrades that might go wrong for longer. | 05:08 |
| zenrox | i am dist upgrading right now | 05:08 |
| zenrox | i ant never had a prob i couldent fix | 05:09 |
| DominosPizza | I see. | 05:09 |
| zenrox | but eatch to there own | 05:09 |
| zenrox | i just keep up with the realices | 05:10 |
| zenrox | since the beginning of ubuntu warty worthog | 05:10 |
| DominosPizza | I'm just looking to get off of XP. | 05:11 |
| DominosPizza | since this machine wont be used as a gaming machine anymore. | 05:11 |
| zenrox | ubuntu/xubuntu/lbuntu all good for that | 05:11 |
| zenrox | ubuntu not somuch | 05:11 |
| m6locks | lubuntu a very good replacement | 05:12 |
| m6locks | boots in seconds | 05:12 |
| DominosPizza | lxde? | 05:13 |
| m6locks | lubuntu comes with it, yes | 05:13 |
| DominosPizza | a little TOO min.. I think.. | 05:13 |
| DominosPizza | although it ran good on a pentium2 | 05:14 |
| DominosPizza | Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what is going to be new and greatest in the latest release and upcoming release vs the LTS ? | 05:15 |
| DominosPizza | is there really anything I would want in the latest editions vs the older LTS? | 05:15 |
| DominosPizza | BTW: Lubuntu is now an offically supported OS ? | 05:18 |
| DominosPizza | like Xubuntu/Kubuntu ? | 05:18 |
| gr8m8 | !lubuntu | 05:19 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 05:19 |
| m6locks | at least they keep releasing versions with the same development cycle | 05:20 |
| DominosPizza | I thought they wasn't part of the offical support group? *Shrug* I guess times changed. | 05:20 |
| gr8m8 | what is it with these ppl that turn up with adds for nicks? | 05:21 |
| m6locks | lubuntu wasnt mentioned in the release notes, so I guess its not official | 05:21 |
| gr8m8 | it has it's own wiki on ubuntu.com ... | 05:22 |
| DominosPizza | . | 05:22 |
| gr8m8 | and a bot command | 05:22 |
| m6locks | aye, but it still does not make it official, it | 05:23 |
| m6locks | s just features | 05:23 |
| m6locks | -s+d | 05:23 |
| m6locks | gdamn | 05:23 |
| gr8m8 | heh ;) | 05:23 |
| DominosPizza | Seems lubuntu only comes in 32bit, not that that matters for this machine. | 05:24 |
| DominosPizza | "Lubuntu 11.10 will be the first version of Lubuntu that has official sanction as a member of the Ubuntu family." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu | 05:33 |
| gr8m8 | what is it with these ppl that turn up with adds for nicks? | 05:36 |
| DominosPizza | ((12:22:10:am)) <gr8m8> what is it with these ppl that turn up with adds for nicks?((12:37:24:am)) <gr8m8> what is it with these ppl that turn up with adds for nicks? | 05:39 |
| anandvenkat4 | Is there any way to differentiate between the ethernet, ppp and pptp interface in linux? | 07:18 |
| Shirakawasuna | they should have entirely separate interfaces | 07:26 |
| Shirakawasuna | ifconfig -a (assuming all modules are properly loaded) | 07:26 |
| anandvenkat4 | I know, but what is the distiguishing factor between these? Any flags set internally? | 07:28 |
| anandvenkat4 | Shirakawwasuna: I need to differentiate them programatically | 07:29 |

| patrice | hi | 14:05 |
| patrice | i installed a mod of a game, and i can't unistall it | 14:05 |
| patrice | anyone can help me? | 14:05 |
| m6locks | rm -rf does not work? | 14:07 |
| patrice | you mean to remove the folder? | 14:07 |
| m6locks | aye | 14:07 |
| m6locks | not sure which other directories the installer has created | 14:07 |
| m6locks | or fiels modified | 14:08 |
| patrice | i removed the folder already, but when i try to reinstall it, it says that it is already installed | 14:08 |
| m6locks | oh ok | 14:08 |
| m6locks | you might need to google what the installer does | 14:08 |
| patrice | it's a .run | 14:08 |
| m6locks | doesn't ring a bell | 14:09 |
| genii-around | What does: file installer-filename.run say? | 14:09 |
| patrice | it says that it's already installed | 14:10 |
| patrice | but i removed the folder | 14:11 |
| genii-around | Thats not a result that command would give. It would say something like POSIX shell script, or ELF 64 bit executable, or so on like that | 14:11 |
| patrice | how can i have that? | 14:12 |
| genii-around | patrice: The idea here is to find out if the .run file you installed from is some binary file or a shell script. If it's a shell script, you can open it with a text editor and find out what it did when you ran it | 14:13 |
| patrice | true.combat.elite_0.49b-english-2.run | 14:13 |
| patrice | POSIX shell script text executable | 14:14 |
| patrice | it says that | 14:14 |
| patrice | sorry, i'm noob under linux | 14:14 |
| patrice | POSIX shell script text executable | 14:15 |
| mrdoctorwho | patrice: chmod a+x name | 14:15 |
| genii-around | patrice: cat true.combat.elite_0.49b-english-2.run | pastebinit and then give us the URL please | 14:15 |
| patrice | pastebinit is not installed | 14:16 |
| genii-around | sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat true.combat.elite_0.49b-english-2.run | pastebinit | 14:17 |
| genii-around | Kids these days, no patience. | 14:23 |

| xenoxaos | if i want to install 11.10 early from beta2 will there be any issues upgrading to stable? | 16:56 |
| charlie-tca | No, there should not be. As long as you are updating it daily until the release. At the time of release, you will be at the same final release image level. | 16:57 |
| xenoxaos | thats what i was figuring... | 16:58 |
| xenoxaos | i know this will be a biased question.....gnome has been irking me lately, should i switch to kde or xfce? | 16:59 |
| ElderDryas | xenoxaos: imo, xfce is more like gnome than kde...but both are quality DE's...it's a matter of taste | 17:00 |
| ElderDryas | grab the liveCD/USB's and see. In my experience, you'll be able to choose in 5 minutes :) | 17:01 |
| charlie-tca | Um, I would guess if asked here, Xubuntu is the obvious answer. It is w-a-y better then Kubuntu from my perspective ;) | 17:02 |
| charlie-tca | ElderDryas: I agree with that | 17:02 |
| ElderDryas | Well, it's obvious to a casual observer, but I was trying not to be biased :) | 17:02 |
| charlie-tca | Your answer is probably better than mine today. I like giving the user the livecd option | 17:03 |
| Unit193 | Kubuntu is much more flashy, while Xubuntu is lighter and gets out of your way | 17:03 |
| Unit193 | Note, I have used both and would recommend both depending on answers to questions | 17:04 |
| ElderDryas | charlie-tca: And with a USB option (as is built into 'buntu), it's easy and cheap to test them. | 17:05 |
| charlie-tca | a-hem... I guess if you have a machine that boots from USB, a-hem | 17:05 |
| ElderDryas | Doesn't everybody? | 17:06 |
| charlie-tca | I seldom think of USB since my machines are a bit older :) | 17:06 |
| charlie-tca | Out of 5 computers, I think one does boot from usb now | 17:06 |
| * charlie-tca burns through between 200 and 300 cd-r's every release cycle | 17:07 | |
| ElderDryas | I have been looking at distros for the past six months (does that coincide with anything?), and have gotten to the point that I won't even look at a (minor) distro that won't work with unetbootin | 17:08 |
| * ElderDryas thinks that's because charlie-tca just likes the whirly sound of the disks spinning | 17:09 | |
| charlie-tca | heh | 17:09 |
| charlie-tca | That might be too | 17:09 |
| xenoxaos | charlie-tca, you may look into getting a u3 flash drive and using u3-tool to replace the cd image on the drive...the computer thinks its a cd and will boot off of it like a cd | 17:10 |
| ElderDryas | or a new computer | 17:10 |
| charlie-tca | I picked up a new computer this summer. It was U.S. 10 dollars at the yard sale | 17:11 |
| charlie-tca | xenoxaos: u3 flash drive? | 17:11 |
| charlie-tca | I will investigate that | 17:11 |
| ElderDryas | charlie-tca: Tell you what, you convince my wife to let me get a new computer and I'll GIVE you my old laptop :) | 17:11 |
| xenoxaos | essentially it partitions the drive into two different usb devices, a flash drive and a cd drive | 17:12 |
| charlie-tca | I got one of them "old laptop" things now | 17:13 |
| charlie-tca | can't be more than ?? years old, too. Even mostly works when I plug it in. | 17:13 |
| ElderDryas | Old laptop == what I'm using now | 17:13 |
| charlie-tca | hm, I guess that would be more towards 'new' here, if it boots from usb | 17:14 |
| charlie-tca | Well, got to go feed the baby... bbl | 17:14 |
| ElderDryas | ttfn | 17:14 |
| antonio_ | ei | 18:47 |
| antonio_ | qualcuno in italiano? | 18:48 |
| charlie-tca | !it | 18:48 |
| ubottu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 18:48 |
| charlie-tca | oh, missed the 30 second response time | 18:49 |
