[00:00] <garret> Has anyone had any success installing the NVIDIA drivers, I have not, after following as much on-line help as I have found.
[00:08] <istok> i sorted my issue
[00:08] <gry> garret, do you have more details please, what hardware do you have, what problem is like
[00:14] <garret> gry: I have a Samsung QX410 laptop with the NVIDA 310M card.  I can install ubuntu or xubuntu 11.10, but when I try to activate the proprietary NVIDA drivers I can not access the NVIDA server settings.  When I try it tells me that I have to run NVIDIA-XCONFIG.  When I do so out of an X-session, at boot the boot-up fails (stalls).  I then have to go back into recovery and do a sudo apt-get purge nvidai* and rm the xorg files.
[00:14] <garret> I then reboot and get things back like after the install - no NVIDIA driver installed.
[00:15] <gry> I'll not be able to help personally but someone here could, just stick around
[00:15] <garret> gry:  Also I have tried to do the things on the following pages, they did not help: http://mygeekopinions.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-install-nvidia-2750907-driver-in.html
[00:15] <garret> http://www.noobslab.com/2011/09/nvidia-drivers-for-ubuntu-1110-oneiric.html
[00:15] <garret> http://askubuntu.com/questions/68220/ubuntu-11-10-wont-boot-with-nvidia-driver-enabled
[00:16] <garret> gry: Thank you for the reply, hope all is well.
[01:37] <glr> Has anyone had any luck installing the nvidia dryers?
[01:39] <glr> Sorry drivers
[01:39] <Thermi> hmm

[01:40] <Thermi> glr just install them with syntpic or apt-get
[01:40] <Thermi> *synaptic
[01:40] <Thermi> should work as usual
[01:40] <glr> Thermi have tried without luck.
[01:40] <Thermi> hmm
[01:40] <Thermi> what seems to be the problem?
[01:42] <glr> When I install nvidia-current it will install but does not run. I then run navidia-xconfig and when I reboot the boot up hangs
[01:42] <glr> ,stalls
[01:42] <Thermi> hmm that's sad
[01:42] <Thermi> what does the syslog say`?
[01:42] <Thermi> try to google the errormessage you find
[01:43] <glr> I then have to sudo apt-get purge nivida* and then rm the xconfig file.
[01:43] <Thermi> hrmpf
[01:43] <Thermi> have to go to bed
[01:43] <Thermi> it's already 2:43 AM gere
[01:44] <Thermi> try to google errormessages
[01:44] <Thermi> i'm sure you aren't the only one with that problem
[01:44] <glr> Thermi thank you good night
[01:44] <Thermi> if nothing helps, try older versions
[01:44] <Thermi> ty, you too ;)
[01:45] <glr> Also, I have had no luck finding help on the web for the nvidia issue
[02:36] <puff> Sound stopped working.  Thinkpad t520 running ubuntu 11.10 with xubuntu-desktop.  I fiddled with all of the controls and I tried rebooting, still no sound.
[03:37] <jmcantrell> has anyone used zeitgeist? does it work with xfce?
[04:33] <Bukowskii> any ideas as to why i keep loosing my wireless signal?
[05:04] <pTk> NetworkManger has a bug right now that I experienced last night upon installing
[05:04] <pTk> Bukowskii, you can install WICD and then uninstall network-manager
[05:05] <pTk> The problem is that network manager keeps trying to can for networks and drops the current connection
[05:06] <Bukowskii> ok ill try that thankyou
[05:15] <popsch> how good is WICD? I was thinking of using it instead of the network-manager.
[05:37] <pTk> It's good, simple and easy and worth it if you have the network manager bug
[05:56] <Bukowskii> alright pTk got WICD installed and working but is there anyway to have an icon on the panel for it?
[05:56] <pTk> it should use the same icon that network manager used
[05:57] <Bukowskii> hmmm it just says network manager not running
[06:21] <Saij> ANyone have any isnight into udevd '/sbin/modprobe' -bv issues on boot?
[06:21] <Saij> prior to these messages it will throw a ton of ata1 device was slow to respond messages
[06:49] <Bukowskii> alright pTk i figured it out, just had to restart
[07:41] <pTk> Bukowskii, glad you got it working
[07:43] <Bukowskii> its still dropping my signal even with wicd
[07:44] <pTk> did you remove network manager?
[07:44] <Bukowskii> yeah
[07:45] <Bukowskii> just the pkg called that no dependancies
[09:05] <baizon> sorry
[09:12] <wiccanhelios> Bonjour à tous. Je viens d'installer Xubuntu il y a 2 jours et j'aimerai savoir comment faire pour mettre VCL en lancement par défaut à la place de Parole lorsque j'insère un DVD ?
[09:14] <TheSheep> !fr
[09:14] <wiccanhelios> oups sorry..
[09:15] <TheSheep> no problem, good luck
[09:15] <wiccanhelios> Thanks
[09:43] <baizon> is it possible to remove oneconf on xubuntu?
[09:48] <TheSheep> oneconf?
[09:48] <TheSheep> baizon: what is that?
[09:49] <baizon> yes
[09:49] <baizon> its a canonical feature
[09:49] <TheSheep> my xubuntu doesn't have it
[09:49] <baizon> synchronize your configuration data over the network
[09:49] <TheSheep> so I guess you can remove it
[09:49] <baizon> do you have xubuntu 11.10?
[09:49] <TheSheep> yes
[09:49] <baizon> hmm
[09:49] <baizon> well then i have to check it
[09:49] <baizon> http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/oneconf
[09:50] <baizon> thats what i mean
[09:50] <TheSheep> apt-cache policy oneconf
[09:50] <TheSheep> oneconf: Installed: (none)
[09:50] <baizon> hmm
[09:51] <baizon> the boot time is awful now :(
[09:52] <baizon> i cant remove it
[09:52] <baizon> then i have to remove software-center
[09:53] <TheSheep> who needs software-center :)
[09:53]  * TheSheep has removed all that
[09:53] <baizon> hehehe
[09:53] <baizon> the software-center is nice :P
[09:53] <TheSheep> I liked gdebi more
[09:54] <baizon> im thinking to try out ubuntu again
[09:54] <baizon> unity looks stable now
[09:54] <baizon> and useable
[09:54] <TheSheep> usable
[09:54] <baizon> thank you
[09:54] <TheSheep> I need to do a tour over all the desktops again
[09:54] <TheSheep> hey changed quite a lot
[09:55] <baizon> recently i tested mint
[09:55] <TheSheep> who knows, maybe even kde will be usable?
[09:55] <baizon> hell no
[09:55] <baizon> tested it 1 month ago
[09:55] <baizon> still the same
[09:55] <TheSheep> I'm so addicetd to all the small details that xfce has
[09:56] <TheSheep> like the menu on right mouse click on the desktop
[09:56] <TheSheep> or the way it positions windows
[09:56] <TheSheep> that I can't switch to anything else
[09:56] <baizon> yeah
[09:57] <TheSheep> before xfce4 came out I was using windowmaker :)
[09:58] <baizon> i was using ubuntu
[09:58] <baizon> until gnome 3 / unity
[09:58] <baizon> then i tested all the other distros
[09:58] <baizon> arch is quite nice, but to much to configure
[09:59] <baizon> i like to install and use it
[10:00] <TheSheep> you are talking about distributions, I'm talking about desktop environments
[10:00] <baizon> hmm
[10:00] <baizon> yes i mean you got ...
[10:00] <baizon> xubuntu, kubuntu, etc.
[10:00] <baizon> they all got different de
[10:01] <TheSheep> what desktop environment does arch use by default? xfce too?
[10:01] <baizon> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=119760
[10:01] <baizon> thats what im missing in xfce
[10:02] <baizon> i hope they will include it in xfce 4.10
[10:02] <TheSheep> my screen is to big to maximize any windows ever
[10:02] <TheSheep> maximizing windows is a misfeature
[10:02] <baizon> yes but you can do it with half display
[10:02] <TheSheep> still too big
[10:02] <baizon> check out the youtube video there
[10:02] <baizon> ok ^^
[10:02] <baizon> what monitor do you got? :D
[10:02] <TheSheep> I know that feature
[10:03] <TheSheep> some old dell
[10:03] <baizon> how much " ?
[10:03] <TheSheep> not sure, 21 I think
[10:03] <TheSheep> I got it from my previous work
[10:05] <baizon> nice
[10:06] <TheSheep> btw, care to join xubuntu-offtopic?
[10:08] <baizon> why not :-)
[11:25] <chickenbone> I need help installing official Nvidia Drivers!
[11:25] <TheSheep> go to system, select hardware drivers, select nvidia drivers, done
[11:26] <chickenbone> They are outdated drivers. I am trying to install the latest drivers from Nvidia's website
[11:26] <chickenbone> I have done the following:
[11:27] <chickenbone>  Press ctrl-alt-F1, a text login screen will appear
[11:27] <chickenbone>       * login as root
[11:27] <chickenbone>       * type "init 3" to stop the X server
[11:27] <chickenbone> init 3 - doesen't seem to disable x-server
[11:29] <TheSheep> chickenbone: they are not outdated, these are the drivers that had been tested with ubuntu and confirmed that they work
[11:29] <TheSheep> chickenbone: the drivers from nvidia page were not tested
[11:30] <TheSheep> chickenbone: and are not supported
[11:30] <chickenbone> They don't currently work for my 450 card. thus I'm trying to go through nvidia
[11:30] <chickenbone> How can I disable x server on Xubuntu
[11:31] <TheSheep> sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop
[11:32] <chickenbone> thank you. tryiing it noe
[11:49] <mongy> Is there a way to change the font/size of the notifications?  They are a lot bigger than the rest of my UI
[11:50] <TheSheep> mongy: you can create your own notification theme
[11:51] <TheSheep> mongy: they just use the standard gtk theme syntax
[11:53] <mongy> do you know where they are?
[11:55] <TheSheep> in /usr/share/themes and in your ~/.themes
[11:55] <TheSheep> for example /usr/share/themes/greybird/xfce-notify-4.0/gtkrc
[11:55] <mongy> ah
[12:39] <bodom> Hi there! Doesn anybody knows what's the console command to launch xubuntu software center?
[12:42] <baizon> software-center ?
[12:46] <bodom> baizon: thank you
[12:47] <baizon> np
[13:35] <glen_> Hey, how I have three users in xubuntu. How can I set it xubuntu to automatically login as a specific user on boot? I'm using xubuntu 10.04 LTS. Many thanks
[13:39] <glen_> i think i may have found the answer: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1588283 - i'll try this
[14:04] <hobgoblin> well madnick - I installed xubuntu and upgraded it to Pangolin - so if it all goes horribly wrong I will blame you :)
[17:30] <popsch> does one today still need cpufreqd or does the kernel already do all that stuff?
[17:30] <GridCube> dunno what that is
[17:32] <popsch> cpu frequency scaling for laptops to conserve power
[17:36] <hobgoblin> popsch: I believe it does it
[17:37] <hobgoblin> I was having a look the other day = http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1777887
[17:41] <popsch> hobgoblin, my question is whether it is still necessary, or whether the kernel already does it automatically
[17:42] <popsch> (by 'it', I mean adjusting the frequency and thus conserving energy)
[17:55] <hobgoblin> popsch: pretty sure it does it - mine is set to ondemand - I didn't do anything
[17:56] <hobgoblin> popsch: in fact - for a short period I had one of the applets on the panel - it was ondemand until it needed otherwise
[18:27] <lrussell> hi
[18:27] <knome> hello
[18:27] <lrussell> will xubuntu 10.04 alternative powerpc run on an imac g3 with a 233 mhz processor and 6gb hd?
[18:27] <lrussell> imac = apple
[18:27] <lrussell> apple imac
[18:28] <TheSheep> !ppc
[18:29] <lrussell> will it run on the crappy specs I mean...
[18:29] <lrussell> !ppc
[18:29] <lrussell> !say hello
[18:30] <knome> please don't play with the bot :P
[18:30] <lrussell> kk...\
[18:31] <Gremuchnik> hi!  on my login menu I have a choice of a "XFCE session" and a "Xubuntu session".  What is the difference?
[18:31] <knome> Gremuchnik, you should use the Xubuntu session, so all services will start up.
[18:31] <lrussell> will xubuntu run on a powerpc 233mhz 6gh hd imac g3? All I ask
[18:31] <lrussell> for everyday use that is
[18:32] <Gremuchnik> knome, thanks
[18:32] <knome> Gremuchnik, the Xfce session might work too, but you won't have the same theme stuff etc.
[18:32] <Gremuchnik> ok
[18:33] <Gremuchnik> also, is it possible to run gnome-shell from inside a Xubuntu session?  I want to play around with it, but logging out just for that purpose if a pain.  Any ideas whether I can just safely launch 'gnome-shell' from the CLI an then return to Xubuntu when I am done (by a killall gnome-shell I suppose)
[18:35] <knome> Gremuchnik, i wouldn't suggest doing that really.
[18:35] <Gremuchnik> knome, why is it risky?
[18:36] <knome> Gremuchnik, i don't know if there are risks, but i wouldn't do that
[18:36] <knome> Gremuchnik, it might mess up things
[18:37] <GridCube> why would yuo want to use gnome stuff with xfce?
[18:37] <Gremuchnik> GridCube, just because Xubuntu if main favorite environment, but I want to play around with G3
[18:38] <Gremuchnik> I don't have any real deep need for it :-)
[18:38] <Gremuchnik> anyway, login logout its gonna be
[18:38] <Gremuchnik> thanks for the pointers guys
[18:38] <knome> yeah, that's safest
[18:39] <Gremuchnik> k
[18:39] <GridCube> you should start a gnome sessioon then :P
[18:39] <Gremuchnik> have you guys tried G3?
[18:39] <Gremuchnik> Gremuchnik, yup
[18:39] <Gremuchnik> I totally hated Unity, but I have some hopes that G3 might be saner...
[18:55] <Guest45298> hello. i'm completely new to xubuntu or any linux OS, i was hoping someone could help me with getting adobe flash installed on xubuntu (11.10)
[18:55] <Sysi> open software center or synaptic and install flashplugin-installer
[18:56] <Guest45298> thx
[18:56] <Sysi> if you want java and mp3 working too, install xubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:58] <lrussell> will xubuntu 10.04 ppc run on an imac g3 333mhz and 160mb of ram
[18:59] <lrussell> will it...?
[18:59]  * lrussell wonders...
[19:00] <lrussell> !ppc
[19:01] <GridCube> if it does it will be really slow
[19:01] <Sysi> lrussell: not enough ram
[19:01] <GridCube> you shoul try lubuntu
[19:01] <lrussell> does it have powerpc?
[19:02] <lrussell> im using altenative xubuntu ppc btw
[19:02] <Sysi> you can do minimal installation and then install lubuntu-desktop, if it's compiled to repositories
[19:02] <Sysi> !info lxde
[19:02] <Sysi> hum, no arch info
[19:02] <GridCube> !lubuntu
[19:03] <lrussell> !xubuntu
[19:26] <rufianw> I'm having a problem with Xubuntu.
[19:26] <rufianw> Every time I log in, it remembers THE SAME applications.
[19:27] <rufianw> All the time, it remembers the apps from the first time I logged out, not the ones of the last log out.
[19:27] <rufianw> Disabling remembering sessions does not help.
[19:27] <Unit193> When you logout, is "save session" checked? Also remove ~/.cache
[19:28] <rufianw> Trying the second...
[19:28] <Sysi> rufianw: enabling it should, you only neen to remove ~/.cache/sessions
[19:29] <rufianw> It worked!
[19:30] <rufianw>  Next problem: Muting the sound from keyboard works. Un-muting, no.
[19:30] <rufianw> I use pulseaudio.
[19:36] <myke> hello, i have xubuntu 11.10 on a dell n5030, although the touchpad scroll works, chording the two buttons to emulate middle does not (only 2 buttons).  i see that chordmiddle in the X config has been deprecated, what's the best way to get it back?
[19:40] <Sysi> 'Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"' works in xorg.conf
[20:05] <linuxcat> hello
[20:09] <GridCube> !hi
[20:45] <Ycarene> Ugh, had to chmod -x /usr/bin/nautilus.
[20:58] <GridCube> why not just purge it:)
[21:00] <knome> xubuntu community meeting in 1 hour at #xubuntu-devel
[21:06] <Ycarene> GridCube - Because it's a dependency for a ton of stuff.
[21:06] <GridCube> Ycarene, never needed it so
[21:07] <Ycarene> Hmm, guess it's not as bad if I use apt-get instead of synaptic
[21:07] <GridCube> last time i had nautilus was on a failed upgrade, but purge was just few keystrokesvaway :P
[21:19] <skin> how to edit menu in 11.10
[21:19] <skin> ?
[21:19] <GridCube> skin, alacarte
[21:19] <GridCube> !alacarte
[21:20] <GridCube> !alacartte
[21:20] <GridCube> !info alacarte
[21:20] <skin> tks
[21:20] <GridCube> it says gnome but it works on xfce too
[21:21] <Unit193> sudo apt-get install alacarte --no-install-recommends
