[00:03] wrong word: If for any reason I stop being here... [00:04] I like gnome3 but if you are doing more than a couple things at once its not fun [00:04] i remember when I could browse, play a fligh simulator and download torrents at the same time [00:04] dont know what went wrong...

[11:03] hmm, apparently kernel in 11.10 has bug conserning that chip, you could try installing newer one from kernel-team PPA [11:04] how do I do that the easiest way? [11:06] hrm, that ppa has vanished, I need to find replacong one [11:08] add "deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline" and (in new line) "deb-src http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline" to /etc/apt/sources.list [11:10] update package lists and search for kernel newer than your current one [11:18] what program do I use for editing the source list..? can't save..

[13:07] yes [13:09] sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.local/share/Trash [13:11] and remember to never run thunar with sudo, if you have to, gksudo [13:12] yes i know :) [13:12] now i will see what's gonna make [13:16] what version of xfce is in the latest beta ? [13:17] 4.8 [13:17] it will be the one in the final release too [13:18] Greetings [13:20] greeting [13:20] I was wondering if it's possible to change the resolution of the Xubuntu splash screen, during start-up and shutdown [13:21] mmmm i don't know, let me check [13:23] is there a 4.9 stable or is it just jumping straight to 4.10 (still in dev) [13:24] ThePendulum, as far as i understand it, plymouth depends on grub configurations, check this http://www.namanb.com/2010/05/changing-bootup-resolution-plymouth-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html [13:25] mongy, direct to 10 [13:25] 4.9 is dev-version, stable will be 4.10 [13:25] GridCube: Thanks for the link! I'll have a read [13:27] ThePendulum, keep in mind that the last time i tried this it broke pretty much all my tty's [13:28] probably i did something wrong [13:28] GridCube: Oh golly. I am going to reboot now, wish me luck! [13:31] thinking about trying beta here....i only need the live cd if i want to upgrade eventually right? [13:32] andantino: Go back to 11.10, or keep 11.10 for now and update to 12.04 eventually? [13:32] i havent got 11.10 [13:32] Any version you have now, then [13:32] no version now [13:32] What are you using now? [13:32] well im on windows, but crunchbang [13:33] so you are saying not to use the beta? [13:34] You're on Windows, but Crunchbang? I don't completely get what you want to do [13:34] andantino, if you could betatest that be awesome, and if you keep updating you should get the final release as it should, things shouldnt change much this coming weeks [13:34] You want to try Xubuntu 12.04 now? [13:34] i am on windows at the moment [13:34] for linux i use crunchbang [13:34] Ah, okay [13:34] And you want to try Xubuntu 12.04 with that Linux machine? [13:34] andantino, the best place to ask tho its #xubuntu-devel :) [13:35] well basically what i am asking is [13:35] I've tried it recently. If you want a stable system, don't try 12.04 yet. But if you want to help the developers, please use 12.04! [13:35] i know with opensuse, for instance, that you have to download the full 4gb to upgrade to final [13:35] at least i think [13:36] andantino, no needed, its recomended, but not needed [13:36] ah ok [13:36] andantino: You can install any version of Xubuntu, and upgrade to the latest version anytime [13:36] Just from within Xubuntu, no extra live disc needed [13:37] well im going to test the beta then [13:37] ThePendulum, thats not pretty much how it works [13:37] ^ The beta is the latest version, so there's nothing to upgrade really [13:37] not with betas [13:37] you just update [13:37] andantino: What exactly do you want to upgrade to if you're going to try the beta? [13:37] andantino, with the betas you will update packages and at the end you will have all the correct ones [13:38] okie dokie [13:38] after the release i don't know if you will keep recieving the updates [13:38] though knome should know [13:39] knome, show your buttox in here, now! [13:40] I misunderstood andantino, I thought he wanted to know if he could just get 11.10 now and upgrade to 12.04 anytime. If not, he would get 12.04 right away. [13:41] hmm [13:41] oh well ill just test it and find out later [13:41] :P [13:41] andantino: You'll need a live disc to get back to 11.10 though, FYI [13:43] Brb, I'm going to reboot to see if I managed to get my splash screen right [13:46] GridCube: That didn't work, apparently :( [13:46] working fine? [13:48] ThePendulum, :( [13:49] whats wrong with the splash screen? [13:50] oh changing resolution [13:51] ThePendulum, what i did was i placed a proper size png on the /boot/grub/ folder and did an update-grub, it efectivelly changed the grub resolution to the image one, then plymouth resolution was ok [13:51] also it uses the png as grub background :p [13:51] Lol, that was how I expected it to work :P [13:51] While I am going to try that, is there anyone participating in Earth Hour? [13:52] nope [13:52] yup [13:53] Turning of all my computers would make quite a difference I think... But then again, if I'm the only one doing that, it won't [13:53] i will be using my computer by candlelight [13:53] xD [13:55] GridCube: There is no png in my grub folder? D: [13:57] well i have downloaded the beta2 live desktop....ill give it a shot later [13:57] nice talking to you and thanks [13:57] ThePendulum, ofcourse not [13:57] add one [13:57] I have installed xubuntu in the following manner: I downloaded xubuntu packages from synaptic to my ubuntu distro, and then executed the fist command from http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce [13:57] now I cannot use any of it. can anyone help me fix it from grub or terminal? [13:58] GridCube: What should it be called? [13:58] koeldi, from a terminal do >sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [13:58] can I execute xubuntu from frub or terminal? [13:59] ThePendulum, any name [13:59] grub [13:59] a terminal [13:59] GridCube: So add a 1920x1080 png file with any name, run update-grub, and it works? :O [13:59] yes [13:59] grub2 its pretty smart [13:59] Daaaamned babe [14:00] ok, now im in recovery menu with options: resume, fsck, remount and root, should I go root? [14:00] yes [14:00] root now [14:00] what do I write now? [14:00] apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [14:01] GridCube: What about the animated 'loading' bar? [14:01] ThePendulum, thats plymouth [14:01] it should get the screen configurations from grub [14:01] crap... [14:01] koeldi, ? [14:01] w: not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock [14:01] GridCube: So there doesn't have to be anything senseful in the image, because it won't show up? [14:01] E: unable to write to /var/cache/apt/ [14:02] E: the package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened [14:02] ThePendulum, use what ever you want, its your computer [14:02] GridCube: Well, I just want to know if I will ever see the actual image or it's just used to determine the resolution [14:03] i do not know that, ill bet you wont see it?, but i dont know if that makes it seeable [14:03] GridCube: I thought you used the method yourself? [14:03] i do, but i always see grub [14:04] its to choose from several boot options [14:04] koeldi, im not sure you are logged as root [14:04] do a whoami [14:05] root GridCube [14:05] oh... [14:05] ok [14:05] i remember some problem like this [14:06] it happens when the whole system does not get loaded on the recovery stage [14:06] let me check the steps to get it working [14:08] i appreciate [14:11] I did something very stupid by erasing gnome and kde packages from unity2d, didntI? I should have logged in in xubuntu and, from there, open a terminal and paste the command [14:12] probably, i dont know [14:15] can someone please tell me what the fuck is going on: all of a sudden my screen gets locked with xscreensaver and it will not let me get in again with my login password, this has happened many times with me putting computer to suspend also [14:15] deeees, no cursing here [14:16] wrong password and then I have to manually close computer by no power and login after boot [14:16] bazhang, yes I know did anyway [14:16] it is mad problem [14:16] deeees, please not again [14:16] will not happen again [14:16] sorry [14:18] koeldi, sorry my virtual machines dont want to cooperate, you will have to try [14:18] mmm try more options XD [14:19] i gotta go for a moment sorry [14:19] GridCube: That didn't work either :( [14:19] GridCube: but you are still providing commands, arent you? [14:20] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25683105/Pictures/Screenshots/2012033101%3A59%3A37_General.png [14:22] yeah koeldi [14:25] Hi people [14:25] i have a problem booting up my xubuntu [14:26] being root, how do I become user in recovery mode? [14:27] Did you enter your admin user name? [14:27] when i start-up Xubuntu weird characters appears "^]^]^]^]^]^]^]^]^]", if i press any "key" of the keyboard i just go on to the login screen, otherwise the system crashes [14:27] ¿? [14:28] arthurjo_droid: admin user name = jimmy? [14:35] koeldi, on reccvovery first chos [14:35] choose [14:35] remount [14:35] then root [14:35] :3 [14:36] that should do the trick [14:36] bbl [14:39] GridCube: and anyone in here: I tried again, being root, and in this new location, apt-get install xubuntu desktop, I got a warning about duplicated sources and I was suggested to apt-get autoremove [14:40] I just installed xubuntu where I used to have another xfce distro, now I can't login to my user directory but I can run the gui as root, how can I make xfce recognize me as my old user? [14:40] 4.5GB disk space will be freed [14:40] now, all that is ubuntu related and NOT my personal data (mp4, fworfiles) right? [14:40] workfiles* [14:40] I try using the user manager but it just hangs up all gray with an hourglass cursor [14:43] koeldi, yes, your data should be safe [14:43] GridCube: how long could it take for my 2core machine to get rid of all gnome and kde and get the clean xfce installation? I left it the whole night, 12 hours, and its still uncomplette [14:44] GridCube: this morning, and believing it was over (because terminal didnt show up when I moved the mouse) I turned the craptop off [14:44] now it seems that i killed it in the middle of a process [14:45] koeldi, i dont know, i bet it depends more on your internet conection [14:45] GridCube: for removing files? [14:45] twoten, delete the .Xauthority file from ~/ [14:45] GridCube: ok, ill turn to do other things [14:46] oh, koeldi dont know 'bout that [14:46] alright [14:46] GridCube: thanks for the help [14:48] good luck [14:49] GridCube: once its finished with autoremove, will it automatically log in with xubuntu, or will I have to execute sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop? [14:51] gtg [15:09] hi [15:09] not everything is lost: [15:09] im recovery mode console as root, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop gives: xubuntu desktop is already the newest version [15:10] which means xubuntu is installed in my machine [15:10] only thing is: I cannot enter/access the GUI [15:10] I need help for that [15:13] hopeishep, delete .Xautorithy from your ~/ [15:14] im sorry what does -/ (I dont see the firs charecter in the keyboard) mean? home? [15:19] GridCube: cannot remove /root/.Xauthority : no such file [15:19] crap [15:19] soorry [15:20] no, I cannot remove that one either [15:24] Try the startx command [15:25] Might give you a error, but could help with debugging [15:25] arthurjo_droid: it seems you saved my day.... [15:26] fuck, mosue doesnt work [15:26] hopeishep: control your language here, please [15:26] !crosspost | hopeishep [15:26] hopeishep: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [15:27] oCean: soccer moms here too? i really doubt there is anybody under 18 here [15:27] thx arthurjo_droid [15:27] hopeishep, you are crossposting to multiple channels [15:27] bazhang: yes, and I apologize for that [15:27] hopeishep: guidelines apply here as well, no excuses [15:27] hopeishep, and there is no cursing, dont even argue it [15:28] Hi [15:28] hello people [15:28] is it possible to upgrade in April from 11.10 to 12.04 LTS??? [15:29] i think i want to switch to LTS [15:29] papasmurf, sure [15:29] good, my files are here [15:29] bazhang, thanks, is it that complicated? [15:29] papasmurf, no, not really [15:30] can anyone suggest why the embedded mouse doesnt work, but another one connected via usb does? [15:30] bazhang, that's a great news [15:31] !upgrade | papasmurf [15:31] papasmurf: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [15:33] arthurjo_droid: I logged in as root, didnt I? [15:34] I mean, how do I make it default for my machine to load xubuntu? [15:36] Yes should be as the user you were logged in as [15:36] bazhang, i guess the final upgrade will appear at some point, would you recommend me to upgrade to 12.04 Beta 2 [15:36] papasmurf, depends. it's only beta 2, and the final is not for nearly a month now [15:37] bazhang, i would like to install Kernel 3.2 as my laptop is burning [15:37] papasmurf, you should really ask about the schedule in #ubuntu+1 [15:38] i've heard Kernel 3.2 has made some good advances with respect to laptops performance [15:39] bazhang, thanks! [15:55] how do I make it default for my machine to load xubuntu? [15:56] it keeps showsin ubuntu in grub, but choosing it wont load anything [15:56] showing [15:56] hopeishep, do you have lightdm installed? [15:56] GridCube: dont know, apparently sda1 has been mounted 10 times, check forced now [15:57] forcing [15:57] yes, nevermind that [15:58] i assume thats the default disk check [15:58] hopeishep, do you even get X loaded? when doing normal boot [15:58] GridCube: i get grub loaded showing 5 options (ubuntu, ubuntu recovery mode, older linux and 2 memtests) [15:58] hopeishep: grub menu shows ubuntu *anyway* [15:58] hope that answers your question [15:59] hopeishep: it's once you get the graphical login screen where you make the decision [15:59] yes, holstein it says "ubuntu" but it should load xubuntu [15:59] its just a nametag [15:59] ubuntu is the name of the kernel and the base install of the system, xubuntu is the icing and filling of the cake [15:59] you can actually change it to whatever you want [15:59] no I dont get to that page where I choose between kde, ubuntu, ubuntu2d if you mean that [16:00] I cannot normal boot... [16:00] if you boot into the first option [16:00] can you press ctrl-alt-F1 to jump to tty1? [16:01] when im done with the checking [16:01] :) [16:03] tty1 = boot menu? GridCube [16:04] seems not [16:04] no [16:04] tty1 should say >tty1 [16:05] press crtl-alt-f1 and see if it leads you there === zmoylan1 is now known as zmoylan [16:05] if not get again to recovery mode, and check if you have lightdm installed, like, with apt-get install lightdm [16:06] lightdm is the newest version, recovery mode terminal [16:07] should I write tty1? [16:07] no [16:07] tty1 its a terminal interface [16:07] its like the root window you are now [16:07] (in fact you should be able to alt-F2 now and get to a second tty) [16:08] but thats irrelevant [16:08] you should be able to boot to the system by default by now [16:08] do an update-grub [16:08] just in case [16:09] GridCube: in recovery menu: choose grub /Updtade grub bootloader) right? [16:09] you guys provide the best support =) [16:09] updated grub [16:10] resume normal boot I guess... [16:12] yep hopeishep, cross your fingers [16:12] im getting screens with info tiling at incredible speeds, so fast I can barely read [16:12] oxic`, :P if you say so [16:12] hopeishep, thats hopeful [16:12] really GridCube ? [16:13] if you get to a blank screen, or a black screen then press ctrl-alt-F1 and see if you go to tty [16:13] :D [16:13] yes, hopeishep it means x is trying to load [16:14] GridCube: redundant screens now: blank - checking battery state - blanck - checking battery state (there are other messages about mythtv (uninstalled) and apache2 [16:14] cannot read em though, too fast [16:19] hopeishep, can you or cannot get to tty1 as normal user, no recovery mode [16:19] cannot [16:19] mmm [16:20] ctrl-alt-f2 to tty2? [16:20] long shot :P but it might work [16:24] when do I have to execute ctrl-alt-f2? when booting as normal user? Plus even with grub updated I only see references to ubuntu, not xubuntu [16:24] GridCube: above [16:26] hopeishep, the reference, its just a name, you can edit it to say what ever you want [16:27] and the pressing is when after loading your system, normally, if you dont get to a desktop, after a while, you can jump to those tty's and use your system from the terminal, its safer and easier [16:28] gotta go do stuff, bbl [16:49] GridCube: so, after choosing boot as normal user in grub, anytime then, when the screen blanks on and off, i press ctral alt f1 or f2... [16:50] mmhm [16:55] ill figure it out [17:06] Hi! Does anyone know how to contribute a bit of money directly to Xubuntu? I wanted to pass on a bit of money, but could not figure out how to do that? [17:07] m_mynaardt, ask at #xubuntu-devel [17:07] Okay, thanks... [17:14] exit [17:14] oops [17:40] GridCube: ctrl alt f1 or f2 doesnt do anything: only difference now is that the screen is blank and only shows, tiling, a mouse cursor [17:41]
