[01:29] <Superbest> hi
[01:29] <Superbest> does the xubuntu 11.04 livecd provide any way of viewing SMART info?
[01:30] <holstein> Superbest: theres a disk utility in most ubuntu live CD's... AFAIK, its in xubuntu as well
[01:30] <Superbest> it has gparted yes
[01:31] <holstein> gparted and a disk utility as well
[01:33] <Superbest> oh
[01:33] <Superbest> would you happen to know the name?
[01:34] <holstein> Superbest: in the menu its actually called "disk utility".. i once knew the pacakge name.. not much to it, if its not there, you can install it on the live CD i would think without any trouble
[01:35] <holstein> you can try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools as well, though i usually just use a live CD like http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
[01:36] <Superbest> ah, ok
[01:36] <Superbest> in this case installing would be trouble, but I'll just try ubcd
[02:22] <istok> it's rather strange that ubuntu pics up my lan/network, yet xubuntu doesn't. I have tried several packages in order to set it up but without success :/
[02:23] <istok> picks*
[02:23] <holstein> interesting... i tend to find little issues like that that im assured cant be happening ;)
[02:24] <istok> i'm on 10.04, it doesn't come with a 'network' tab, under places
[02:24] <holstein> and you are trying 10.04 *buntu's?... i would expect different support from different kernels
[02:24] <istok> i can't even ping the network, but if i'm on normal ubuntu, it works fine
[02:24] <istok> i had the same kernel with ubuntu
[02:24] <holstein> you can always install ubuntu-desktop and just not use it
[02:25] <istok> on top of xfce?
[02:26] <holstein> i mean, you *should* be able to track down whats missing and get just that, but i have no idea where to start
[02:26] <istok> interesting.
[02:27] <istok> neither, i've installed samba and other network packages
[02:27] <istok> doesn't seemed to have helped
[02:27] <holstein> the few cases ive had, i usually poke around a few places, ask around and get a few "no way thats happenings" and then i give up and install the meta
[02:27] <holstein> istok: samba wont do anything
[02:27] <istok> samba should allow me to setup shares, which in effect would allow my system to be visable on the lan, it currently isn't
[02:27] <holstein> maybe its a backport thats just not included by default
[02:27] <istok> if i run ubuntu, it is visable straight away
[02:27] <istok> yeah
[02:27] <holstein> istok: samba will work when the network is working... otherwise, it wont do anything
[02:27] <istok> i'll get to the bottom of it, i just hope sooner than later
[02:27] <holstein> i would install ubuntu, then install xfce or xubuntu, and enjoy...
[02:28] <istok> i'd rather keep my current system, it's perfect, except for the lan issue
[02:29] <holstein> cool.. we'll see how long you can maintain that chipper attitude ;)
[02:29] <istok> i'm in an apartment complex, we've set up a sharenet, so i can get access to tv/movies/docs/etc
[02:29] <istok> there are like 400+ PC on lan
[02:29] <istok> heh
[02:29] <holstein> istok: youve tried searching the name in google?
[02:29] <holstein> the exact model?
[02:30] <istok> i've tried everything, google is always the first place i check
[02:30] <holstein> maybe a bug report will tell all
[02:30] <istok> exact model?
[02:30] <holstein> of the NIC
[02:30] <istok> i can see mine, not the sharenet
[02:30] <holstein> istok: your what?
[02:31] <holstein> maybe im misunderstanding
[02:31] <holstein> the NIC is working?
[02:31] <holstein> you just arent seeing a wifi access point?
[02:31] <holstein> just install wicd and try using it
[02:31] <istok> my nic works fine, it usually detects the lan on other OS i run, except xubuntu
[02:32] <istok> the nic of the sharenet, no idea
[02:32] <holstein> the lan on the other OS i run...
[02:32] <holstein> you are setting up a wifi access point on some other machine?
[02:32] <holstein> regardless.. try another network manager
[02:32] <holstein> wicd would be at the top of the list of my suggestions
[02:34] <istok> no wifi point, just cable lan
[02:34] <istok> it's annoying, to say the least.
[02:36] <holstein> istok: im not following.. try gigolo then
[02:36] <holstein> or set up a more friendly share
[06:56] <ktwo> Hi, im trying to find out why i always have to remove rtl8192cu and reload it after i was disconnected from wlan, any of you experienced this issue already?
[13:34] <xuser> how can i installl libreoffice in xubuntu 11.10?
[13:34] <xuser> please help me
[13:34] <xuser> ?
[13:34] <xuser> :-D
[13:36] <TVasEyes> xuser: using  Sytstem->Synaptic Package Manager  ?
[13:37] <TVasEyes> oops, System*
[13:37] <xuser> ok
[13:37] <xuser> but in synaptic is not last ver of libreoffice
[13:38] <xuser> i cant install the debs from libreoffice site
[13:38] <xuser> i hava an error
 how can i installl.   once installed, you can update.
[13:39] <xuser> yes
[13:39] <xuser> but in synaptic is not last stable version
[13:39] <TVasEyes> sorry, can't help then..
[13:40] <xuser> i will install it from synaptic
[13:41] <TVasEyes> and update after the install.  good luck.
[13:42] <xuser> xubuntu should use libreoffice by default
[13:42] <xuser> is better than abiworld
[13:42] <TVasEyes> personally, I like Gnumeric better than Open/LibreOffice's spreadsheet.
[13:43] <xuser> yes but libreoffice is a complete office suite
[13:45] <TVasEyes> yes, my needs are relatively simple though ;)
