| vexati0n | does anyone know how to force ubuntu to use a specific driver with xorg.conf? | 01:12 |
|---|---|---|
| vexati0n | i've specified 'nouveau' but lightdm won't start | 01:12 |
| vexati0n | with the nvidia driver, the screen stays black. | 01:12 |
| stlsaint | vexati0n: setting it in xorg.conf should force it. | 01:22 |
| stlsaint | make sure you are placing it in the right section | 01:22 |
| vexati0n | stlsaint: if i set the driver in xorg to "nouveau," lightdm won't even start. | 01:30 |
| vexati0n | and neither will X by itself | 01:30 |
| vexati0n | and if i purge the nvidia driver, the resolution is stuck at 1024x768 and there's no direct rendering available - so it's using mesa and not nouveau. | 01:31 |
| stlsaint | vexati0n: what graphics card are you using? | 01:31 |
| vexati0n | it's a geforce go 6150 | 01:32 |
| vexati0n | nouveau works just fine on the live cd | 01:32 |
| jaxa | so partitioned 8gigs of swap space and found out later that ubuntu disabled hibernate :/ | 01:34 |
| jaxa | bah | 01:35 |

| stlsaint | vexati0n: but not on live install? | 01:51 |
| stlsaint | jaxa: meh | 01:52 |
| vexati0n | stlsaint: after updating everything, it quits working. i just installed the x-updates stuff (295.49) and now the nvidia module won't even load | 01:56 |
| vexati0n | lightdm crashes, Xorg log says "unable to initialize the nvidia kernel module" | 01:56 |
| vexati0n | arggh.. jesus F... so i rebooted and the system auto-blacklisted the nvidia module. wtf | 02:00 |
| vexati0n | anyway it's fixed now | 02:03 |
| stlsaint | ha | 02:18 |
| stlsaint | ok | 02:18 |
| stlsaint | was looking up something | 02:18 |

| runmike | I have a printer and scanner Brother DCP-J725DW, but I can't put it for work. Can anyone help me? | 15:46 |
| holstein | runmike: what doesnt work?.. printer, scanner? have you plugged it in? | 15:47 |
| houman | Hi, If I install sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop, does it install also the Xubuntu apps? | 15:48 |
| runmike | yes | 15:48 |
| runmike | all of them | 15:48 |
| holstein | runmike: when you go to the "add a printer" wizard, what is the result? | 15:49 |
| holstein | runmike: have you ever added a printer in ubuntu? | 15:49 |
| runmike | this printer is wireless, but i have it connected by USB | 15:49 |
| holstein | runmike: has this printer ever worked with linux? | 15:49 |
| houman | How do I install only the core desktop environment XFCE? | 15:49 |
| houman | without the xubuntu apps? | 15:49 |
| holstein | houman: well, there are no "xubuntu apps" really, but you get the core of xubuntu installed with that command | 15:50 |
| holstein | houman: you can just insatll xfce | 15:50 |
| holstein | install* | 15:50 |
| houman | holstein, its because I was told if I do sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop I would install also the Lubuntu apps. But if I did sudo apt-get install lxde-core I could only install LXDE | 15:51 |
| houman | holstein: hence I was looking for a similar command to install only the core xfce without the overhead that comes with xbuntu. | 15:52 |
| holstein | houman: you just install XFCE | 15:52 |
| houman | holstein: Thanks. so all I do is sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop ? | 15:53 |
| holstein | houman: no | 15:55 |
| runmike | Yes I try with the wizard, and the printer appears on the list | 15:55 |
| runmike | Yes I already have added a printer to ubuntu | 15:55 |
| holstein | houman: that installs all the xubutu stuff that you are implying you dont want | 15:55 |
| runmike | no this printer never worked with linux | 15:55 |
| holstein | houman: you open whatever package manager you want to use and search XFCE, and install only XFCE | 15:56 |
| holstein | houman: XFCE doesnt = xubuntu... xubuntu uses XFCE, and thats about as far as the similarities go | 15:56 |
| holstein | runmike: and it doesnt print? | 15:57 |
| runmike | no | 15:57 |
| holstein | runmike: AFAIK, wireless scanning can be tricky... sometimes theres a webgui for that | 15:57 |
| houman | holstein: ahh i understand. Thanks for clarifying. Under ubuntu software center I don't see any xfce :( | 15:57 |
| runmike | I can't put it to work | 15:57 |
| holstein | houman: close the software center, and try another package manager, or the teriminal | 15:57 |
| holstein | !pure xfce | 15:57 |
| ubot2 | Factoid 'pure xfce' not found | 15:58 |
| holstein | !xfce | 15:58 |
| ubot2 | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 15:58 |
| houman | holstein: I feel comfortable with the terminal. But I don't know how to install xfce only :D I think I am back to square one after reading ubot2 | 15:59 |
| holstein | houman: there not really any reasong not to install the metapacakge xubuntu-desktop | 15:59 |
| holstein | houman: you literally just install xfce | 15:59 |
| houman | holstein: yes exactly. Only xfce desktop environment. Because I hate Unity :D | 15:59 |
| holstein | houman: replace xubuntu-desktop with xfce... if you are comfortable in the terminal, then use the tab complete to make sure you are referencing an available package | 16:00 |
| holstein | runmike: sometimes, i just fiddle around with changing drivers.. i also just use the IP address with one tricky printer | 16:01 |
| houman | holstein: ahhhh i was missing a 4. The correct command is sudo apt-get install xfce4 Thank you so much | 16:01 |
| holstein | runmike: its fiddly, but it will work.. if you want it to just work out of the box, be sure you let brother know | 16:01 |
| houman | holstein: didnt know the tab trick ;) | 16:01 |
| holstein | houman: :) | 16:05 |
| runmike | I have two big problems. I don't understand ubuntu and English to | 16:12 |
| holstein | runmike: what language? | 16:12 |
| holstein | there are lots of support channels, mabye we can direct you to a more appropraie and localized channel? | 16:12 |
| runmike | português | 16:13 |
| holstein | runmike: there should be #ubuntu-pt | 16:14 |
| holstein | /join #ubuntu-pt | 16:14 |
| runmike | the channels in português don't have any one that have the interest to teatch | 16:17 |
| holstein | runmike: you might need to join and wait... or just tough it out here with us | 16:17 |
| holstein | runmike: im sure its just an issue where you are not quite used to using printing in ubuntu yet | 16:18 |
| holstein | runmike: there are options in that GUI for using the printer with "jet direct" | 16:18 |
| holstein | runmike: that works for me on a tricky bother network printer... | 16:18 |
| runmike | tanths any way | 16:19 |
| nejnio | I am interested in a tutorial or guide using apparmor. Any suggestions and guidance will be appreciated. | 16:42 |
| Starwood | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor any help? | 16:47 |
| nejnio | yes I have been going over it. | 16:55 |
