[00:27] how enable compositing ? [00:28] is it possible to mount/sync my iphone 4?

[00:51] i figured it out, im full of it [00:51] haha [00:51] thanks [01:09] do html codes work here [01:09] guess not [01:10] !ot | xubuntu300 [01:10] xubuntu300: #xubuntu is the Xubuntu support channel, #xubuntu-devel for discussion regarding development of Xubuntu, and #xubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:21] Question. I installed, and it went perfectly, then it loaded the OS, then i turned off the computer. Turned it on later, and, after the post, I get a black screen, with a blinking cursor. I can still load it through the Live cd, but, without it, i just get the cursor. Someone had told me to edit something in grub, but, I cant get there... [01:27] MissVera, hold down shift as it boots [01:27] that should get you to grub [01:27] It doesnt. [01:27] As I said :( [01:28] It gives me the post, and then black screen. No bios, no booting, no grub. [01:28] ah, i was hoping that would do it :( [01:28] you don't get the bios screen or memory check? [01:29] I can get into setup... thats about it. But, I can still boot from the "live cd" === dan64 is now known as Guest57017 === lighta is now known as Guest62442 [03:45] does anyone know if xubuntu supports the hp mini 110's wifi driver? [03:45] i know ubuntu does. [03:45] i don't believe debian does. [03:45] Than so does Xubuntu. [03:45] at the least, built in. [03:45] Unit193: it has 'restricted drivers'? [03:45] as ubuntu calls it? [03:45] Ubuntu calls it "Additional Drivers" ;) [03:46] (And yep, installed by default and should tell you about any on first boot) [03:46] :) [03:46] Unit193: i think my mind is set on xubuntu then [03:46] Unit193: how light is xubuntu? i'm on a teeny weeny netbook [03:46] Specs? [03:46] my phone is faster, though my phone is 1.2 ghz dual core [03:46] Unit193: hp mini 110- intel atom n270 @ 1.66 ghz [03:46] 1 gig of ram [03:46] i hope to upgrade soon [03:46] honestly considering a chromebook [03:47] I've got it on a P4 with 2G, as well as a P-M with 1G. [03:47] how well does it run? [03:47] i know ubuntu at first ran great on here [03:47] well [03:47] 'ok' great anyway [03:47] i'm running 10.04, btw [03:47] but then it BOGGED down. [03:47] and i didn't really install that much... [03:48] You have to live with a few things that annoy, but some settings help. [03:48] Unit193: like what? [03:48] Flash works better on the P-M than P4, but since that's newer I'd guess it'd also work better. [03:49] (But really, when does flash work that great? :P ) [03:49] :P [04:00] 115116/6 [04:07] Anyone know anything about this? I already edited grub. but when i tried to update it, it gave me this error /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannotfind a device for / (is /dev mounted?). [04:19] check mount [04:24] psycho_oreos Wouldnt know how. I'm new. [04:25] MissVera, in another terminal type `mount| grep /dev| wc -l` (without quotes) [04:41] MissVera, no dice with that command? [04:42] psycho_oreos I went outside for a cigarette, and to contemplate paying a hobo 20 dollars to beat me to death with my desktop, so linux could kill my body as well as my brain. :x [04:43] I've tried one distro after another for about a week now. At least I've learned something out of the whole ordeal. But. being a windows convert is rough. [04:46] initially the conversion is rough but it gets easier when you persist. [04:47] I've persisted. dammit. And it still sucks. I cant install one distro to save my life. Anyway, im headed in. i'll give your command a try. [04:47] and linux has come a long way since when I first treaded on linux. Back then to get ISA based sound card to work under linux was insanely hard. [04:48] * psycho_oreos wonders why are you fiddling with grub anyway [04:48] lol [04:49] Long story short. I installed, no problem. then rebooted, and after the post, i got a black screen with a cursor. Stuck. So. someone pointed me to here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 which told me, that after i install, to alter the grub config [04:49] which, i repartitioned, reinstalled, and once i was in, changed the config, but when i went to save it, it gave me that error [04:50] The other weird thing, someone in #Ubuntu, told me to try updating everything. and as i was, it stopped and told me i was out of disk space, when, i just did a fresh install and had 55 gb free. [04:51] hey all [04:51] So i was pointed here.. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video which i havent tried yet, and seems very confusing. but in the mean time, you answered, so thats one more thing to try [04:51] hmm, 55GB free in total?　or 55GB free in maybe / and /var? [04:51] silly question, how do I change the theme in xfce. I got the faenza icons and the theme but when I switch to the icons not all the icons change or are found [04:52] 60 free total. but after the install and updating, shouldve been around 55 at least. [04:52] and what config specifically which gave you that error? iinm grub2 requires editing of that conf file iinm and issue update-grub [04:52] I just did update-grub and it gave me that error i posted. [04:53] All i changed was adding in the "nomodeset" thing. [04:53] to me it sounds like you were probably in some recovery mode, though its a little weird that /dev isn't mounted [04:53] bunty, nfi, have you tried asking in #xfce for instance? [04:55] bunty: it's one of our FAQ for the last release (see #7): http://xubuntu.org/news/faq-1110-oneiric/ [04:56] bunty: there are a few different components to a theme though, so you might just have part of it [04:59] another oddity, the mouse leaves tracers. Whatever thats all about [05:00] psycho_oreos, how do i open a second terminal? It only seems to open and close the one [05:00] tracers? like the mouse `cursor icon' stays there for two seconds or so when you move the mouse cursor around before disappearing? [05:00] except, it doesnt disappear, i have little scattered icons everywhere. [05:00] MissVera, I'm guessing it would be Ctrl+Shift+T, though you can always run another instance of the terminal [05:01] hmm that could be because of the video driver you are using I suppose [05:02] K, i entered your command, and it said "5" :x [05:02] dev appears to be mounted from that output.. hmm [05:03] which means...? :x [05:03] the issue is not with devfs being not mounted [05:04] pastebin me your `mount' output [05:04] pastebin? [05:04] SS? [05:04] !pastebin [05:04] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [05:06] its a little hard for me to explain what devfs is apart from it enabling linux to access raw device (like storage devices), without devfs (i.e. not mounted) linux does not have access to raw devices and hence cannot write anything to raw devices. Lots of programs ultimately depend on devpts being mounted [05:07] Its alright. I realize there are some things I just DON'T understand right now. [05:07] like... Someone told me me fix is this http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video And I got about a minute and a half in before i realized I was completely clueless [05:08] Im trying to get on firefox, on the OS with the issues, so i can do your pastebin thing, but its just not opening >.> [05:17] Then do mount |pastebinit [05:20] oh! [05:20] I've been taking pictures of my screen like a derp. Thank you. [05:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1070712/ [05:24] ahh *facepalms self* I see where I went wrong.. your hard disk installation is mounted but it is not mounted as /, rather its mounted as /target which would mean that you'd be in recovery [05:25] ...okay [05:28] So... [05:29] I'm not sure of how to rectify this as the ideas I thought of are more like hacks which may (or may not..) work === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:30] I dont even really understand what the problem is.. [05:30] I just know it's not working right. Any of it. [05:33] the problem was that your video card was not supported at boot, it could just be unsupported or buggy driver. So the fixes you were trying to do bypasses those issues but now grub needs to make changes to your base installation but it cannot find the base because its not set as / instead its set as /target [05:34] Linux is depressing [05:36] Yeah. I"m going to go play L4D2 to bypass this install-rage. bbl [05:57] I believe MissVera needed to mount dev, proc, sysfs, devpts to target and then chroot /target and run grub-install [06:02] devpts was mounted from that pastebin, and /target cannot be mounted without /dev which /dev was actually mounted iinm [06:04] though I'd agree MissVera needed to chroot in [06:06] yeah mount --bind /dev /target/dev === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [07:58] hi all === tr-808_ is now known as tr-808 [09:56] good morning [09:58] i will install my xubuntu with USB, but if I boot computer from my pendrive, then i have black screen, and pc not responding. Anyone can help me? [10:00] i try with universal USB installer, YUMI, Linux Live USB creator... I try boot on my installation partition (easybcd)(iso) but, PC not respond [10:02] waher: which computer do you have? [10:03] Acer Aspire ONE D257, In tel Atom N570 (1.66Ghz, 1Mb L2 cahce), 1GB DDR3, 250GB HDD [10:03] or do you know what graphics card you have? [10:03] alright [10:03] integrated GC :/ 64mb [10:06] i try install 32bit version, bigos i have too low ram (64bit when pc have equal or higher 4gb RAM) [10:07] the 32/64-bit versions don't relate to the amount of ram but the architecture [10:08] 32bit work on 64bit processor, but 64bit version does't work on 32bit [10:08] waher: you are trying the latest version? [10:08] yes [10:08] 12.04 [10:08] from official xubuntu page [10:09] I can only assume it's a graphics problem, but I have no real solutions on the subject that I can recommend [10:10] maybe USB CD-ROM help me? i thing ... My computer don't like usb boot :P [10:12] waher, i was thinking about that too. [10:13] (i change on bios 1:usb 2:hdd boot device) [10:14] Ok, thanks for help, and sorry for my englisch.

[19:07] home, now try backuping your /home/desireduser/.config to .config-old [19:07] home, or if you're willing to lose all configuration, delete it [19:07] home, and try logging in with desireduser again === selinuxa is now known as Transfusion [20:51] hi how i share a folder xubuntu 11.10 i have gvfs-backends installed [20:53] mint, are you sure you are running xubuntu and not linux mint?
