| GridCube | So | 01:48 |
|---|---|---|
| GridCube | I'm trying to install xubuntu on my new netbook | 01:49 |
| GridCube | but it doesnt recongnizes, either my wired or the wireless card :( | 01:49 |
| holstein | thats not cool | 01:49 |
| GridCube | no its not | 01:49 |
| holstein | some HP mininote with broadcom? | 01:49 |
| GridCube | and the installer just doesnt want to move on whitout a network card | 01:50 |
| GridCube | no its an intel classmate | 01:50 |
| holstein | oh... interesting | 01:50 |
| holstein | i would just grab the alternate iso then | 01:50 |
| holstein | not sure what thats about | 01:50 |
| GridCube | im using the alternate is | 01:50 |
| holstein | from the install, you should be able to sort it out | 01:50 |
| GridCube | o | 01:50 |
| holstein | hmmm | 01:50 |
| holstein | GridCube: im new here... all i can suggest is work-arounds | 01:51 |
| GridCube | it says just that "the installer cant go on because no network card is installled" | 01:51 |
| GridCube | :) | 01:51 |
| holstein | installing minimal from some other alternate iso | 01:51 |
| GridCube | workarounds work | 01:51 |
| holstein | and installing xubuntu-desktop when you get *some* network going | 01:51 |
| GridCube | mmm | 01:51 |
| holstein | GridCube: did you try the live one though? | 01:52 |
| holstein | the gui installer? | 01:52 |
| GridCube | nope | 01:52 |
| holstein | that cant hurt | 01:52 |
| GridCube | :P well i need the iso | 01:53 |
| GridCube | that would take a huge lot of time | 01:53 |
| * holstein wonders if theres a bug somewhere filed for that issue | 01:53 | |
| holstein | GridCube: how about from that iso? the options... 'minimal install, or CLI only | 01:53 |
| holstein | are those still there? | 01:53 |
| GridCube | theres just cli | 01:54 |
| holstein | try that | 01:54 |
| holstein | same installer though... | 01:54 |
| GridCube | what on earth | 02:04 |
| holstein | no good? | 02:04 |
| GridCube | realtek says its integrated on the kernel | 02:06 |
| GridCube | support for RTL8191SE | 02:07 |
| holstein | yeah, im surprised you dont have it | 02:07 |
| holstein | and the installer should go past it anyways | 02:07 |
| GridCube | yes | 02:07 |
| GridCube | it should | 02:07 |
| GridCube | i think i need a new image | 02:07 |
| marion | is there a way to update the kernel? | 02:29 |
| holstein | marion: i do it in the terminal | 02:31 |
| holstein | ive been just installing aptitude and doing it :) | 02:31 |
| Unit193 | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade for terminal | 02:31 |
| holstein | but the upgrad manager should do it | 02:31 |
| marion | holstein im running into a problem trying to upgrade im getting a kernel panic | 02:32 |
| holstein | well... maybe the package you downloaded is bad? | 02:32 |
| holstein | i would reinstall the latest kernel | 02:32 |
| marion | i've downloaded three all from xubuntu.org | 02:33 |
| marion | how to i reinstall the latest kernel | 02:33 |
| holstein | i would just do that in whatever package manager you are comfortable with | 02:33 |
| holstein | i like synaptic for that ...GUI management | 02:34 |
| marion | http://paste.ubuntu.com/728747/ | 02:35 |
| marion | thats what happens when i do what unit193 said | 02:35 |
| holstein | so you are up to date | 02:35 |
| holstein | marion: run this first | 02:35 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get update | 02:36 |
| marion | ok thats done now what | 02:36 |
| holstein | marion: run the other command again | 02:36 |
| marion | same results | 02:37 |
| holstein | so you are up to date | 02:37 |
| marion | then why is it not letting me update | 02:37 |
| holstein | there are no kernel updates available for you | 02:37 |
| Unit193 | Now run uname -a | 02:38 |
| holstein | marion: there are no updates to be had | 02:38 |
| marion | i wanna do 11.10 | 02:38 |
| holstein | marion: ? | 02:38 |
| marion | right now i am on 11.04 | 02:38 |
| holstein | OK | 02:38 |
| marion | Linux marion-desktop 2.6.32-35-generic #78-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 11 15:27:15 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux | 02:38 |
| holstein | http://zeeis.me/upgrade-to-ubuntu-11-04/ | 02:39 |
| holstein | i personally would just reinstall | 02:39 |
| holstein | backup and reinstall fresh | 02:39 |
| holstein | takes so little time to install these days | 02:40 |
| marion | this is taking me down to maverik merecat. i would do that holstein but when i try to go to the installer it wont let me | 02:41 |
| holstein | http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-11.04-natty-narwhal-to-11.10-oneiric-ocelot-desktop-and-server | 02:42 |
| holstein | marion: use the update tool | 02:42 |
| marion | is there a way to see what distro i am on? | 02:43 |
| holstein | marion: cat /etc/issue | 02:45 |
| Unit193 | marion: lsb_release -r will tell you | 02:45 |
| holstein | in the terminal | 02:45 |
| holstein | or that ^ | 02:45 |
| marion | apparently i am on 10.04 | 02:45 |
| marion | i could have sworn i downloaded 11.04 | 02:46 |
| Unit193 | You'd have to go 10.04 > 10.10 > 11.04 > 11.10 | 02:46 |
| holstein | i would stay there til 12.04 | 02:47 |
| Unit193 | ^^ | 02:47 |
| holstein | that'll go 10.04 to 12.04 | 02:47 |
| holstein | but, i typically just test the upgrades to see if it works | 02:47 |
| holstein | and reinstall ;) | 02:47 |
| marion | 12.04 will be the next long term release | 02:47 |
| marion | ??? | 02:48 |
| holstein | yup | 02:48 |
| marion | well i am doing the maverick update now | 02:49 |
| holstein | as long as you know that i suggest you dont, go for it :) | 02:49 |

| nikolam | How to report a bug when ubuntu-bug can not find firefox? I have firefox 7 installed instead of in-distribudion one, using PPA repository for newer Firefox. | 09:25 |
| nikolam | Why reporting bugs is to tight to firefox, anyway? I am on Lucid, XUbuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit. | 09:25 |
| well_laid_lawn | !ppa | 09:29 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa | 09:29 |
| well_laid_lawn | - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. | 09:29 |
| nikolam | yes well_laid_lawn but what it have to do with reporting BUGS? | 09:30 |
| nikolam | If I upgrade my browser, or use any PPA, that should not affect BUG reporting for whole OS | 09:31 |
| nikolam | ubuntu-bug is misleadingly made inside to NEED firefox and not to use any other browser. | 09:32 |
| nikolam | Is looks to me like unintentional vendor lock-in for Mozilla Firefox. | 09:32 |
| well_laid_lawn | you're using a ppa - ubuntu doesn't fix those bugs | 09:32 |
| nikolam | What if I uninstall firefox? | 09:32 |
| nikolam | well_laid_lawn, well, it is not PPA bug | 09:32 |
| well_laid_lawn | then you won't have the bug from what you said | 09:32 |
| nikolam | Ok, I will try uninstalling Firefox | 09:32 |
| nikolam | and will see how it will report a bug then. | 09:33 |
| well_laid_lawn | <nikolam> How to report a bug when ubuntu-bug can not find firefox? I have firefox 7 installed instead of in-distribudion one, using PPA repository for newer Firefox. | 09:33 |
| well_laid_lawn | says you used a ppa | 09:33 |
| nikolam | ok, I will uninstall it. | 09:33 |
| nikolam | then what | 09:33 |
| well_laid_lawn | do you have a bug then? | 09:33 |
| nikolam | will see after uninstalling | 09:34 |
| nikolam | And its about xfce-weather-plugin stopped working yesterday not updating weather from network etc | 09:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | so where does firefox come into it? | 09:41 |
| nikolam | thats it. ubuntu'bug can not report bugs because it depends on firefox being installed. | 09:41 |
| well_laid_lawn | ahh ok I'm with you now | 09:41 |
| nikolam | if uninstalled - > no reporting bugs | 09:41 |
| nikolam | So I guess i would need to install in-distribution firefox, to report bug on ubuntu-bug itself. | 09:42 |
| well_laid_lawn | you'll need some sort of browser... | 09:43 |
| nikolam | I guess proper way should be that ubuntu-bug should use default browser, whatever it is, in my case seamonkey (or ff7 of chromium or konqueror or opera or...) | 09:43 |
| well_laid_lawn | how can they sort out bugs if ppl have who knows what app installed from some ppa? | 09:44 |
| well_laid_lawn | the ppa could change so many files | 09:45 |
| nikolam | Aha. but maybe it should work if there is no FF. there are other browsers in official repos, too, maybe someone does not have love on FF from repo? :) | 09:45 |
| nikolam | Hmm, maybe there should be some kind of protection for main distribution, protecting files replacements from PPAs.. but that is another topic. | 09:46 |
| nikolam | I personally think that reporting bugs should not be connected with choosing browser, that would be bug of mine. | 09:47 |
| well_laid_lawn | if your reporting bugs in ubuntu it's fair they expect you to be using thier packages | 09:48 |
| well_laid_lawn | you can report it as a bug or feature request | 09:49 |
| nikolam | yes that is true. And they should not expect I use firefox. :) I will. | 09:49 |
| well_laid_lawn | luck ;) | 09:49 |
| nikolam | I guess better answer would be: Patch :) | 09:50 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| nikolam | Oh, I need to find a way to report bugs alternatively. Even after installing firefox from repos, unable to report bug: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/728958/ | 10:41 |
| well_laid_lawn | do you still have the ppa in /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 10:42 |
| well_laid_lawn | I'm guessing that might be an issue | 10:43 |
| nikolam | I diabled it. | 10:48 |

| Guest65065 | Hi everyone, I installed chromium last nigh to replace firefox as the default. Even when I change chromium in the preferred applications menu, and selectt chrome, it asks if i want it to be the default. every time i click to set it as the default and relaunch it from the menu, a dialog comes up asking me to choose default browser. any ideas?/ i'm new to this | 14:42 |
| babble | Guest65065: I've had problems with Chrome (and, in this case, I assume Chromium, as well) setting *itself* as the default browser and setting a default browser in Preferred Applictaions. | 14:43 |
| babble | don't set Chromium as the default in its dialog, when it asks - tick "don't ask again" - and just set it in preferred apps | 14:43 |
| Guest65065 | that won't affect it when I launch links fromm xchat for example?/ | 14:44 |
| Guest65065 | actually ... http://test.com | 14:44 |
| babble | no, it'll work correctly. | 14:44 |
| babble | I have Chrome installed now, and links from in here open in Chrome (instead of, say, Firefox) | 14:44 |
| Guest65065 | why did you go for chrome over chromium?/ | 14:44 |
| babble | Guest65065: no special reason | 14:45 |
| Guest65065 | babble: Hm well thanks. Perhaps you could help me with another problem. I am trying to install flash player and having performance problems with the versions I try to install?/ | 14:46 |
| babble | I'm not seeing particular peformance issues with Flash over the *usual* performance issues with flash. hehe. Let me see what I have installed. | 14:47 |
| holstein | Guest65065: in the 'advanced' tab over in 'session and startup' i checked the box for 'launch GNOME services at starup | 14:47 |
| holstein | im not sure what setting i did made it stick... i tried a bunch of things, and apparently gnome services helped make one persistent | 14:48 |
| Guest65065 | babble: This is my first linux experience and I installed a few other distributions before xubuntu. I believe it was Linux mint that had the flash package that worked best. | 14:48 |
| Guest65065 | I tried the default x64 flash install and got like 10fps on a 360p video | 14:48 |
| Guest65065 | then I tried this 64bit package with a 32bit wrapper or something | 14:49 |
| Guest65065 | and managed to get full speed up to 720p | 14:49 |
| babble | Guest65065: I have flashplugin-11.0.1.152ubuntu1 installed; that should be installing 64-bit flash, but lemme rip open the metapackage and see what it's installed. | 14:49 |
| GridCube | :D | 14:51 |
| GridCube | AWESOME | 14:51 |
| GridCube | AWESOME! | 14:51 |
| * holstein hight-fives GridCube | 14:51 | |
| GridCube | livecd works! | 14:51 |
| babble | okay, that's installing two things: Depends: flashplugin-downloader (>= 11.0.1.152ubuntu1), nspluginwrapper | 14:51 |
| GridCube | all networks are working | 14:51 |
| GridCube | touchscreen works out of the box | 14:52 |
| GridCube | >:D | 14:52 |
| GridCube | good bye win7 | 14:52 |
| babble | Guest65065: you should have the following installed in Synaptic: flashplugin-installer, nspluginwrapper, flashplugin-downloader | 14:53 |
| holstein | also, the graphics driver can effect video performance | 14:54 |
| holstein | and compositing | 14:54 |
| Guest65065 | Hm I don't know enough yet to understand graphics drivers etc | 14:54 |
| Guest65065 | I know that upon initial install I had around 300 frames in glxgears | 14:54 |
| Guest65065 | after installing fglrx | 14:55 |
| holstein | Guest65065: thats the only reason i bring it up | 14:55 |
| Guest65065 | i get around 2000 | 14:55 |
| holstein | its not necessarily the xubuntu vs. mint | 14:55 |
| Guest65065 | babble: Thanks I'm installing them al now | 14:55 |
| holstein | there are different kernels, differnt graphics driver rev, and proprietary driver | 14:55 |
| Guest65065 | yeah | 14:55 |
| Guest65065 | it's just the performance difference is/was so drastic | 14:56 |
| babble | Guest65065: flashplugin-installer is a metapackage - it will grab the other two for you | 14:56 |
| holstein | AFAIK, mint provides those proprietary drivers out of the box | 14:56 |
| Guest65065 | holstein: which drivers? I had to install fglrx on mint too | 14:56 |
| holstein | Guest65065: whatever drivers you need... | 14:57 |
| Guest65065 | holstein: I would just assume a distribution like ubuntu would be doing the same | 14:58 |
| Guest65065 | Oddly enough there are a few things fixed and some broken | 14:58 |
| Guest65065 | for example, i could correctly use the keyboard shortcuts to adjust volume .. on xubuntu they don't work. | 14:58 |
| holstein | Guest65065: but you are not taking everything into consideration | 14:58 |
| Guest65065 | holstein: I can't given how limited my experience is : p | 14:59 |
| holstein | and ubuntu *cant* release proprietary blobs like mint can/does | 14:59 |
| holstein | ubuntu = xubuntu so... | 14:59 |
| GridCube | mmm my netbook already had 3 primary partitions | 14:59 |
| Guest65065 | holstein: Aside from basic things like graphic or audio drivers ... i have no idea how or where to grab packages for things like my keyboard shortcuts | 14:59 |
| holstein | Guest65065: i say, choose your battles, and take it one thing at a tie | 14:59 |
| holstein | time* | 14:59 |
| holstein | also, buy more linux friendly when you have the opportunity | 15:00 |
| GridCube | so if i make a new primary for xubuntu i can not keep partitioning it, its safe to install a OS on a logical partition or should i ditch the win7 partitions allthogheter | 15:00 |
| holstein | its a bit of a transition if you are coming from windows, but for me, now-a-days, i have a much more challenging time installing/configuring windows | 15:00 |
| Guest65065 | holstein: I bought this laptop solely to install a linux distribution on it and begin learning : P | 15:01 |
| Guest65065 | it's Lenovo x120e, i was told they generally have good/great compatibility | 15:01 |
| holstein | GridCube: i remember getting rid of one on a netbook, and reclaiming space... there was a 'data' partition in win7 | 15:01 |
| holstein | but, last reinstall i just wiped it | 15:02 |
| Guest65065 | holstein: Every distribution has something working the other didn't, which makes me optimistic | 15:02 |
| Guest65065 | i might have video and sound issues in xubuntu, but i don't have any random hangs or errors during my boot -- and even bluetooth works | 15:02 |
| babble | Guest65065: I'm using the XFCE Volume daemon, which handles media keys in Xfce as well as notifcations for volume mounts. | 15:02 |
| holstein | Guest65065: i like using live CD's for that... to see whats doing what and why... you just have to learn what to look for | 15:02 |
| Guest65065 | but in linux mint, i do get random black screens and boot errors etc, | 15:02 |
| babble | sec, I'll get you the exact package name. | 15:02 |
| GridCube | i have main called W7OS with 300gb a Recuperation with 5g and a system with 1gb | 15:02 |
| holstein | kernel versions... what pacakges are where... ALSA rev... whatever | 15:03 |
| Guest65065 | it's a netbook holstein : P | 15:03 |
| Guest65065 | I did try the live versions on my usb stick | 15:03 |
| holstein | Guest65065: i have 4 | 15:03 |
| Guest65065 | babble: Is that enabled by default ? | 15:03 |
| GridCube | :> im installed on a netbook Guest65065 | 15:03 |
| babble | not volume *mounts* but volume *event,* rather. | 15:03 |
| babble | anyway. | 15:03 |
| GridCube | installing | 15:03 |
| babble | xfce4-volumed | 15:03 |
| babble | it should have been but I'm running from a clean install of Xubuntu | 15:04 |
| GridCube | :D the meta volume keys are working | 15:04 |
| holstein | yeah... my keyboard shortcuts 'just work' | 15:04 |
| babble | if you didn't nuke your last installation of Ubuntu or Mint, I suppose it's possible you have some odd config bits hanging around | 15:04 |
| Guest65065 | babble: Nah they were worked and it's installed at latest version : P | 15:04 |
| GridCube | ok so my question, its safe to install an OS on a logic partition? | 15:05 |
| babble | are you running gnome bits that also expect to handle your volume keys/ | 15:06 |
| babble | ? | 15:06 |
| holstein | GridCube: if the installer will use it, i dont see why not | 15:07 |
| holstein | should be fine | 15:07 |
| GridCube | well im defining the partiotion with gparted | 15:10 |
| GridCube | :/ | 15:11 |
| pahan | hi everyone, I have lags when I resize windows. Does anybody know what is the problem? | 15:39 |
| GridCube | yay! i broke things up :D | 15:44 |
| GridCube | well not so much :D | 15:45 |
| GridCube | rezising worked | 15:45 |
| GridCube | i could use the 'rescue' partition as swap :P | 15:48 |
| GridCube | :D this is awesome | 15:59 |
| GridCube | it took my picture | 15:59 |
| GridCube | :D | 15:59 |
| GridCube | i havent used the live installer in years | 16:00 |
| chebureque | hi there | 16:11 |
| chebureque | guys i've got a problem that makes me mad) | 16:12 |
| holstein | chebureque: :/ | 16:12 |
| chebureque | after connecting a usb flash, my system automatically mounts it, then i'm trying to write a film on it (both using mc and thunar), and every time my usb remounts, failing the copy process | 16:14 |
| chebureque | xubuntu 11.10 (in 11.04 there was same problem) | 16:14 |
| holstein | interesting | 16:14 |
| chebureque | copying success on 12-15 try | 16:15 |
| holstein | chebureque: you might want to try grsync | 16:15 |
| chebureque | i'm newbi to linux, what's that is& | 16:15 |
| chebureque | ? | 16:15 |
| holstein | chebureque: assuming this is the *same* usb stick, it could be failing | 16:16 |
| chebureque | that's not usb stick problem | 16:17 |
| chebureque | was trying with another one - same shit | 16:17 |
| chebureque | what is grsync? | 16:17 |
| holstein | chebureque: this channel is logged, if you dont mind to be more courteous with your language :) | 16:18 |
| chebureque | sorry, i will | 16:18 |
| holstein | chebureque: you can try to copy the files with rsync in the terminal | 16:19 |
| holstein | or grsync which is a GUI rsync, and maybe you will get output | 16:19 |
| holstein | helpful error messages | 16:19 |
| chebureque | hm | 16:19 |
| holstein | you just need to troubleshoot it, and see | 16:19 |
| holstein | there are at least 2 constants that i can state | 16:19 |
| holstein | the machine/USB controller, and you | 16:20 |
| chebureque | should i install something or its a shell command? | 16:20 |
| holstein | so, it coud be that you have not aquired the skill, or that the USB controller is not very well supported | 16:20 |
| chebureque | hm | 16:30 |
| chebureque | with grsync everything copied well | 16:30 |
| chebureque | no remounts | 16:30 |
| chebureque | Rsync process exit status: 0 | 16:30 |

| donatas_ | I get error when trying to install hardware drivers or updates after fresh install of xubuntu 11.10 | 18:37 |
| madnick | I have the same problem O_o | 18:39 |
| donatas_ | update manager says - Requires installation of untrusted packages | 18:40 |
| donatas_ | The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. | 18:40 |
| donatas_ | Also I can't install any packages at all... it seams like something is wrong with repositories, authentification etc. | 18:47 |
| Azelphur | Anyone know how I set up a shared printer with Xubuntu? | 18:48 |
| donatas_ | changing to main server in software sources fixed the problem... Probably my local server was down | 18:51 |
| donatas_ | Xubuntu is like a breath of fresh air after unity... great simple and effective interface | 18:53 |

| XubuntuKris | I have an issue with genmon since upgrading to 11.10. | 21:14 |
| XubuntuKris | Any time I boot up, it won't run automatically...well, it does run, but it only displays a blank spot where it's supposed to display the command output. I have to right click the blank spot and click properties, then it shows up and I can close out of the properties without changing anything. | 21:15 |
| XubuntuKris | I don't have long to get info from here, so if anyone has anything, it'd be greatly appreciated. | 21:16 |
| ochosi | XubuntuKris: i guess the best thing would be to report a bug at bugzilla.xfce.org | 21:17 |
| ochosi | it doesn't sound like there'll be a quick and easy solution | 21:18 |
| XubuntuKris | Maybe. I thought that it might have been something I'm doing wrong.lol | 21:19 |
| XubuntuKris | is there supposed to be a certain way that the command I'm using should be input? | 21:20 |
| XubuntuKris | like, example: uname -n | 21:20 |
| XubuntuKris | should it have quotes? | 21:21 |
| XubuntuKris | or anything else? | 21:21 |

| knome | there is no support for it yet | 23:12 |

| knome | ages ago | 23:12 |
| knome | precise pangolin | 23:12 |

| madnick | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/20111105/ ? | 23:19 |
| takis-sanjo | hey i know this might not be the right chan, but how do i install python modules is there something similar to cpan like in perl? | 23:19 |
| Myrtti | takis-sanjo: first check if the modules are installable via ubuntu package management | 23:20 |
| ubuntu | yes from that exact same place madnick | 23:21 |
| madnick | okay :) | 23:22 |
| ubuntu | How does one change ones nick in Xchat ? | 23:22 |
| Myrtti | /nick | 23:22 |
| Myrtti | should work in every client | 23:22 |
| === ubuntu is now known as deborah | ||
| takis-sanjo | Myrtti, nope they are not... | 23:23 |
| deborah | madnick, did you try installing it ? | 23:23 |
| madnick | deborah: i am waiting until Dec 1, where testing starts :) | 23:23 |
| deborah | and here I wanted to run it off of my hard drive lol | 23:24 |
| madnick | There was a release 20 days ago :P | 23:24 |
| deborah | pity because the precise Xubuntu live disk runs extremely well. | 23:29 |
| Myrtti | are there any differences to Oneiric yet at this point? | 23:33 |
| deborah | Myrttl, well I noticed that my tracpad works far more smoothly under precise then oneiric. | 23:35 |
| deborah | granted I'm running precise live so far it doesn't seem install to a hard drive yet | 23:36 |
| Myrtti | right... well, to me that wouldn't be good enough reason to install precise permanently yet | 23:41 |
| deborah | Myrtti, if you have a nice test partition like I do I'd test away. | 23:47 |
