| tethtibis | my best guess would be to find the model number of your device and google the model number + ubuntu. | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| xubuntu911 | I downloaded the driver onto a usb drive; I'm not sure how to proceed | 00:03 |
| tethtibis | try "restricted drivers" under your system menu. | 00:03 |
| tethtibis | or "hardware drivers" I forget what it's called. | 00:03 |
| tethtibis | did you download the windows drivers? | 00:04 |
| tethtibis | or is it the .ini file? | 00:04 |
| xubuntu911 | its a windows driver .rmt | 00:04 |
| xubuntu911 | is there a linux version? | 00:05 |
| tethtibis | hrm. have you tried ndiswrapper? | 00:05 |
| tethtibis | *shrugs* if there were, best place to find them would be the manufacturer's website, or "hardware drivers" in your system menu. | 00:06 |
| xubuntu911 | I doubt that there is a linux version | 00:06 |
| xubuntu911 | I looked at ndiswrapper; the instructions from Xubutnu are: obtain the windows driver for your system and locate the file ath ends with .inf | 00:07 |
| xubuntu911 | I have the driver in a .rmt file | 00:07 |
| tethtibis | see if you can "extract" the .ini file from the driver you downloaded. | 00:08 |
| xubuntu911 | How would I do that? (sorry, this is my first time playing with any type of linux) | 00:08 |
| tethtibis | using "file roller" or just right clicking and choosing "extract" if it gives you that option. | 00:08 |
| tethtibis | find "file roller" in your system menu. I'm not sure what it would be under, perhaps accessories, or system. | 00:09 |
| xubuntu911 | ok, no extract option | 00:09 |
| xubuntu911 | looking up file roller | 00:09 |
| tethtibis | if not, download peazip, it's almost as strong as 7zip for extracting weird files. | 00:09 |
| tethtibis | let me find you the website for peazip. | 00:10 |
| tethtibis | http://peazip.sourceforge.net/peazip-linux.html | 00:10 |
| xubuntu911 | awesome! | 00:10 |
| tethtibis | someway, you have to be able to get that .ini file. even windows uses an ini, so it has to be there. once you get that, ndis wrapper will set you up nice. :O) | 00:11 |
| tethtibis | get it? | 00:11 |
| xubuntu911 | yup | 00:11 |
| xubuntu911 | thanks so much for your help | 00:11 |
| tethtibis | sweet. :O) | 00:11 |
| tethtibis | np. :O) | 00:11 |
| xubuntu911 | here goes nothing :) | 00:11 |
| tethtibis | hope it works out well for you. | 00:11 |
| xubuntu911 | thanks! | 00:11 |
| xubuntu911 | oh wait | 00:11 |
| xubuntu911 | one more question | 00:11 |
| tethtibis | sure. | 00:11 |
| xubuntu911 | this ndswrapper comes prebuilt with xubuntu? | 00:12 |
| tethtibis | hrm, I'm not 100% on that. | 00:12 |
| xubuntu911 | I tried to "install" it via the software center | 00:12 |
| xubuntu911 | it wouldn't work... | 00:13 |
| tethtibis | I DO know that "hardware drivers" under "system" usually takes care of all my weird driver needs, so i haven't had to use ndiswrapper in ages. | 00:13 |
| tethtibis | open a terminal and just type ndiswrapper, that should tell you if it's installed by default. | 00:13 |
| xubuntu911 | ok | 00:13 |
| tethtibis | sorry, lol I'm poking around on zorinOS right now, so I don't have a frame of reference. | 00:14 |
| xubuntu911 | no worries :) | 00:14 |
| xubuntu911 | not installed | 00:15 |
| tethtibis | then at the terminal, try this command: sudo apt-get update | 00:15 |
| tethtibis | then : sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper | 00:15 |
| David-A | xubuntu911: google ""Dell Latitude D610" ubuntu wireless" finds solutions that does not appear to involve windows drivers. did you try them and they failed? | 00:16 |
| tethtibis | then once installed, you can google how to use it, or type :man ndiswrapper to read it's internal manual. | 00:16 |
| tethtibis | it's been too long since I've used ndiswrapper, so I wouldn't be able to walk you through it, sorry. :O/ | 00:17 |
| xubuntu911 | no, I didn't know that there was a site specific to my computer | 00:17 |
| xubuntu911 | no worries | 00:17 |
| xubuntu911 | I really appreciate your help | 00:17 |
| Mahmoud | trying to install gnome 3. i hope it works we.. | 00:17 |
| Mahmoud | ll | 00:17 |
| tethtibis | Mahmoud, I've heard the new lightdm service messes with gnome 3. you might have to install the standard xorg server. | 00:18 |
| tethtibis | just a head's up. :O) | 00:18 |
| Mahmoud | oh | 00:19 |
| Unit193 | Standard xorg? LightDM is a login manager, you thinking wayland or you thinking going back to GDM? | 00:22 |
| Mahmoud | me? i don't really care. LightDM seems good | 00:23 |
| Mahmoud | but if it causes trouble, i'll move on to GDM | 00:23 |
| recon_lap | xubuntu911: why are you messing with ndistwrapper? | 00:24 |
| xubuntu911 | hmmm | 00:26 |
| xubuntu911 | I've decided not to mess around with the ndiswrapper...I'm gonna try one of the solutions on the forums... | 00:26 |
| xubuntu911 | if I can't get that to work, I'll go back to the ndiswrapper | 00:26 |
| xubuntu911 | thanks for everything guys! | 00:26 |
| toekee | I have to type in my windows shares address everytime I reboot, even if I save it | 00:30 |
| toekee | does that mean the "sharte" has to be recordsed in the /etc/fstab file ? | 00:31 |
| toekee | share* | 00:31 |
| recon_lap | toekee: if you want it accessible automatically thats where I'd put the mount command. | 00:33 |
| recon_lap | toekee: would depend what what type of share it is though | 00:34 |
| toekee | smb://192....yadda yadda | 00:35 |
| toekee | its a xp pro headless shared box | 00:35 |
| toekee | seems gnome automounts | 00:36 |
| recon_lap | toekee: then I'm not sure, a network share is not really suitable for fstab | 00:37 |
| toekee | ok..then what do you think would be a decent automount approach ? | 00:37 |
| toekee | Though.its not that b ig a deal to type in at the beginning of a session...I must admit | 00:38 |
| toekee | However there is obviously a soultion | 00:39 |
| toekee | what does everyone else do...for automount of network shares ? | 00:40 |
| recon_lap | toekee: http://www.justlinux.com/nhf/Filesystems/Mounting_smbfs_Shares_Permanently.html | 00:40 |

| xubuntu486 | hello | 01:29 |
| AndChat|622356 | What is the difference between xubuntu and ubuntu? | 02:10 |
| Unit193 | Xfce is the main thing. | 02:11 |
| bazhang | xfce4 / gnome , and certain software applications | 02:11 |
| AndChat|622356 | Is either one better for programming and music making | 02:11 |
| Unit193 | Default config/look/applications, some think it looks abit Gnome2, but I personally disagree. | 02:11 |
| bazhang | !crosspost | AndChat|622356 | 02:12 |
| Unit193 | Making music would be closer to ubuntu studio. | 02:12 |
| ubottu | AndChat|622356: 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. | 02:12 |
| AndChat|622356 | Ok thanks | 02:12 |
| Unit193 | !ubuntustudio | 02:12 |

| pimperle | hi | 08:24 |
| pimperle | from time to time mynotebook will not wakeup from suspend to ram. Right now it happend again but I have not idea how to debug it? I can still ping it, but SSH doesn't work (nmap says the port is open though) and the screen is black / it doesn't react to keyboard input. | 08:26 |
| pimperle | where should i start looking for a solution? | 08:26 |
| well_laid_lawn | pimperle: what's the laptop model? | 08:30 |
| pimperle | thinkpad t400 | 08:31 |
| pimperle | while it still responds to icmp packets, even the sysrq key doesnt seem to work | 08:31 |
| well_laid_lawn | pimperle: seems you might have this problem | 08:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | I ended up there from the archlinux wiki about the t400 | 08:35 |
| pimperle | link | 08:35 |
| pimperle | ? | 08:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6105510&postcount=12 | 08:36 |
| well_laid_lawn | oops ;) | 08:36 |
| pimperle | thx ;) | 08:36 |
| pimperle | the problem happens only sometimes, and till now i was convinced, that it only happens if it goes into suspend AND is low on battery. however this time it happend while being placed in the dock | 08:37 |
| pimperle | well_laid_lawn: i will try this, however as it doesn't always happen it will take some time to verify success | 08:39 |
| pimperle | and idea how to shutdown the system from its current state? | 08:39 |
| well_laid_lawn | pimperle: you an only try | 08:40 |
| well_laid_lawn | I don't think the arch wiki would be left as is if it was wrong | 08:40 |
| well_laid_lawn | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lenovo_ThinkPad_T400#SUSPEND-RESUME | 08:41 |
| pimperle | thx for the help | 08:41 |
| well_laid_lawn | cheers | 08:41 |
| pimperle | sysrq should work by holding down fn+alt+print/sysrq and then hitting a char-key? | 08:43 |
| well_laid_lawn | I know nothing about that... | 08:44 |
| well_laid_lawn | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 08:45 |
| pimperle | i already read through the german version of the page :) | 08:45 |
| pimperle | wikipedia to the rescue | 08:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | says "The key combination consists of Alt, SysRq and another key, which controls the command issued " | 08:46 |
| pimperle | yes, "hold 'Alt', hold 'Fn', hold 'SysRq', release 'Fn', press key." | 08:47 |
| pimperle | as if it could be any more complicated :) | 08:47 |
| pimperle | i gave up and cold rebooted the system | 08:47 |
| pimperle | now i'll apply the fix and will try how sysrq works and take a huge note for the next time to try :) | 08:48 |
| well_laid_lawn | luck :) | 08:52 |
| pimperle | ok, it works by holding down alt, then hitting print/sysrq (and releasing it, still holding alt) then while holding alt hitting (multiple keys) to perform actions | 08:53 |
| frojnd | hi there | 10:23 |
| frojnd | I've installed xubuntu alternate on my gf's laptop and I have a few problems | 10:23 |
| frojnd | First one and most obvious is when watching DVDrip in fullscreen mode I notice flickering | 10:24 |
| frojnd | Second when watching full hd movies .mov format from my camera is like watching slow motion effect | 10:24 |
| frojnd | This is on acer aspire one 722 which has open source radeon drivers | 10:25 |
| frojnd | 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Wrestler [Radeon HD 6290] | 10:25 |
| pimperle | frojnd: i have no idea what might cause this for you, but you could try the fglrx binary driver | 10:25 |
| andrew_ | i need some help enabling hardware acceleration on my powerbook g4 | 10:25 |
| andrew_ | could anyone be so kind? | 10:26 |
| frojnd | pimperle: do I need to remove open source drivers before I install propriatery ones? | 10:26 |
| frojnd | I personally like open source drivers better and other have no such problems with that particular graphic chip | 10:26 |
| pimperle | i would expect installation of the binary driver to enable it as well | 10:27 |
| pimperle | i also like free drivers better, but i noticed that power consumption drops significantly on my notebook using the fglrx driver | 10:27 |
| frojnd | pimperle: I'll just click on install propriatery driver | 10:27 |
| pimperle | si | 10:28 |
| frojnd | pimperle: which one should I install? I have 2 options for amd: ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver (post release updates) and without post release updates | 10:29 |
| pimperle | i chose the one with updates. the other one will stay the same over time | 10:29 |
| frojnd | pimperle: will I have to uninstall or purge open source drivers? Or will ubuntu replace and configure it automatically so there will be no conflicts? | 10:31 |
| pimperle | automatic install should handle it | 10:31 |
| pimperle | (read: I'd try it, but i dont know) | 10:32 |
| pimperle | :) | 10:32 |
| frojnd | ok let see what happens. :) ok ok.. | 10:32 |
| frojnd | I think there are some problems with suspend to ram with propriatery drivers. Well actually when u try to wake the notebook up... | 10:32 |
| frojnd | haven't been up to date latelly.. | 10:32 |
| andrew_ | im not even sure where to begin really. i was trying to follow the guide at:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ but i cant seem to get it to work | 10:33 |
| pimperle | yes, i have had some of them as well | 10:33 |
| frojnd | How did you solve it? | 10:33 |
| pimperle | sry, andrew_. i have no experiance with powerpcs | 10:33 |
| pimperle | i havent yet | 10:33 |
| frojnd | and this is obivous amd issue | 10:33 |
| andrew_ | its cool | 10:34 |
| pimperle | we just discussed it here earlier and someone suggested this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lenovo_ThinkPad_T400#SUSPEND-RESUME | 10:34 |
| pimperle | but it only happens from time to time | 10:34 |
| frojnd | hehe | 10:35 |
| frojnd | Soorry, installation of this drivers failed. Please have a look at jockey.log | 10:36 |
| frojnd | w00t :P | 10:36 |
| pimperle | ouch | 10:36 |
| frojnd | this is the log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1119200/ | 10:37 |
| frojnd | I have a bunck failed/error lines | 10:39 |
| frojnd | could not find module ... | 10:39 |
| pimperle | i have no idea then :( | 10:39 |
| frojnd | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1866589.html | 10:40 |
| frojnd | maybe this will help :p | 10:40 |
| frojnd | have to restart for some reason first | 10:41 |
| frojnd | meh, I guess kernel is the updated package | 10:42 |
| frojnd | Hi there :) | 10:59 |
| frojnd | again.. | 10:59 |
| frojnd | I've successfully installed proprietery drivers | 10:59 |
| frojnd | .mov files plays now more smoothly but I still see flickering :o | 11:05 |
| frojnd | And I still see flickering in .avi files (dvdrip and stuff...) | 11:08 |
| frojnd | Hi hi :) | 11:11 |
| frojnd | I've installed jupiter for power performance | 11:15 |
| frojnd | I've also installed lm-sensors | 11:15 |
| frojnd | when I do sensors I see temperature of the cpu cores | 11:15 |
| frojnd | yet in juputer it shows 0 °C | 11:15 |
| frojnd | It's also grayed | 11:15 |

| TImewarper | ikonia, fuck you | 14:15 |
| xubuntu481 | Hello, I am having a problem with installing Xubuntu (or really any linux distro). After I start up the CD the first thing that pops up is a broken screen (looks like a corrupted image). | 15:29 |
| xubuntu481 | Then my monitor seems to detect nothing and I have to restart. | 15:29 |
| holstein | xubuntu481: can try hittin shift, the first time you see something other than bios... just tap shift | 15:30 |
| xubuntu481 | I'm not sure, but I think it's the hardware on my machine, I'm using a Radeon HD 6790 and and AMD FX 4100 | 15:30 |
| xubuntu481 | Alright, I'll try that next time. | 15:30 |
| holstein | you should see a menu with F6 at the bottom.. you want to try "nomodeset" and whatever else under the F6 menu | 15:30 |
| holstein | xubuntu481: you can always try a puppy linux live CD, use that nice wizard for the graphics, then grab the xorg.conf from there | 15:31 |
| holstein | xubuntu481: you might want to consider using the vesa driver... i have grabbed the xorg.conf from puppy, insatalled ubuntu with the alternate CD, and put the xorg.conf in place | 15:32 |
| holstein | xubuntu481: if you are new, you might want to just try other hardware | 15:32 |
| xubuntu481 | Hmm? This is my only computer, lol. I'll try everything else first. | 15:32 |
| holstein | though, im 98% sure its a graphics card driver support issue | 15:32 |
| xubuntu481 | So I could use the alternate CD, then get xorg.conf? | 15:33 |
| holstein | xubuntu481: maybe... thats one way.. i would try forcing vesa | 15:34 |
| holstein | its challening, becuase its not in front of me, so i dont know what i would do | 15:34 |
| xubuntu481 | Is that in the shift, then F6 menu or in the alternate? | 15:34 |
| holstein | xubuntu481: should be in the live one that i assume you have now | 15:35 |
| xubuntu481 | Ok, so boot up desktop, shift, F6, select Vesa and continue installing? | 15:35 |
| holstein | xubuntu481: f6, and use "nomodeset" | 15:36 |
| xubuntu481 | Ah, then find the vesa driver after installing the OS? | 15:36 |
| holstein | xubuntu481: i would want to see the desktop live before installing | 15:36 |
| holstein | xubuntu481: you wont need to find the vesa driver | 15:36 |
| xubuntu481 | Ok, I'll try nomodeset next time. | 15:37 |
| holstein | nomodeset will either get you to the desktop, or not, and then you can choose to install, or try something else | 15:37 |
| xubuntu481 | If I can't get to the desktop, should I use the alternate installer? | 15:37 |
| holstein | xubuntu481: its up to you.. you'll need to decide how you'd like to proceed | 15:37 |
| holstein | the alternate installer will install xubuntu, which will likely not be supporting your grphics | 15:38 |
| xubuntu481 | Oh, ok | 15:38 |
| xubuntu481 | Alright, I'll just try the whole shift, F6, nomodeset thing and see what happens. | 15:39 |
| holstein | you can then go to the CLI and install the proprietary driver, or set an xorg | 15:39 |
| holstein | i typically try everything to get to a live desktop, then go from there | 15:39 |
| holstein | gtg.. good luck | 15:39 |
| xubuntu481 | Thanks for the help! | 15:39 |
| mneptok | holstein: the -alternate image is just a text mode installer with no Live session capabilities and additional install options (e.g. LVM and dm-crypt) | 15:42 |
| mneptok | errr | 15:42 |
| mneptok | xubuntu481: ^^^^ | 15:42 |
| xubuntu336 | hello world | 15:45 |
| hystryfe | hi. does anyone have experience with vsftpd and ftps? | 16:16 |
| mneptok | hystryfe: why those and not ssh/sftp? | 16:28 |
| mneptok | hystryfe: you need anonymous access? | 16:29 |
| hystryfe | mneptok, actually no, but i'm willing to use sftp i just didn't want anyone having shell access | 16:29 |
| hystryfe | i can get the virtual user i made to connect, but then chroot jail doesn't work lol | 16:30 |
| hystryfe | right now i'm trying to connect with filezilla and i get "an unexpected TLS packet was received" and when someone using windows+filezilla on the LAN connects they get "a record packet with illegal version was received" | 16:32 |
| mneptok | hystryfe: use "sudo chsh" to change each $USER to use /usr/lib/sftp-server as their login shell. that should allow sftp with no actual SSH. | 16:33 |
| mneptok | hystryfe: i have not done this for quite a few releases. | 16:33 |
| mneptok | YMMV | 16:33 |
| mneptok | O:) | 16:33 |
| hystryfe | heh | 16:33 |
| mneptok | still easier than an ftpd | 16:33 |
| hystryfe | yeah. i'm pretty sure it's a permission issue somewhere, and each and every configuration file i have found is unique | 16:34 |
| mneptok | OK, the sftp-server lib is not in /etc/shells on 12.04 | 16:35 |
| mneptok | that will require tweaking | 16:35 |
| hystryfe | well i'm already been tweaking and i've gotten this far. i think this is a TLS issue at this point because the vsftpd.log says OK LOGIN | 16:36 |
| mneptok | http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/94 | 16:38 |
| mneptok | wow. my work actually reflects best practices. | 16:39 |
| mneptok | this may be a good monday. | 16:39 |
| hystryfe | is sftp something that is running? | 16:39 |
| hystryfe | haha. how so? | 16:40 |
| hystryfe | mneptok i fixed it :D | 17:08 |
| === recon69_lap is now known as recon_lap | ||

| travis-5 | need help here | 22:10 |
| travis-5 | hi #ubuntu! | 22:10 |
| The_Cog | travis-5: Fire away | 22:10 |
| travis-5 | oh shit, I joined xubu instead of ubu! | 22:10 |
| travis-5 | my trouble is with ubuntu | 22:10 |
| travis-5 | so I guess I shall go to the other channel, right? | 22:11 |
| The_Cog | travis-5: If it's not gui specific it's worth a try here | 22:11 |
| travis-5 | oohh ok, nice to here | 22:11 |
| travis-5 | so | 22:11 |
| travis-5 | i'm i trouble with dvds burning :S | 22:12 |
| travis-5 | (and, secondarly, with a pocket video projector, we can talk about it later) | 22:12 |
| travis-5 | my issue is... what program could I use?? Brasero is destroying my dvd compilation disk by disk :D | 22:13 |
| travis-5 | I heard about some "k3b" and some "gnomebaker" | 22:13 |
| The_Cog | What kind of trouble? I may not be able to help though - I use xfburn (xubuntu channel here) but have only done CDs with it so far. | 22:13 |
| travis-5 | oohh, I see... | 22:13 |
| The_Cog | I used to have trouble with Brasero - less so with gnomebaker, but if you're having trouble I would always go for k3b | 22:14 |
| travis-5 | oh, alright | 22:14 |
| travis-5 | can you tell me what's the secret of this so-called k3b? Is it an old burning software? And its name sounds too me a bit scary... I mean, I'm not quite a master with cmd line yet | 22:15 |
| The_Cog | k3b is a kubuntu (KDE) based app so installing it will pull in a lot of extra GUI libraries. However, they only get loaded when you start k3b so they're normally only a drag on disk space. | 22:15 |
| travis-5 | (but I have ambitious objectives about that ;)) | 22:15 |
| travis-5 | drag = ??? | 22:15 |
| The_Cog | k3b has been around for years, and was reliable long before the others were even reasonably usable. So it would always be my last resort. | 22:16 |
| travis-5 | and that's fine to hear from you | 22:17 |
| The_Cog | drag as in the libraries will fill a good few megs of disk space. Not a real problem normally. | 22:17 |
| travis-5 | uhm | 22:18 |
| travis-5 | it's just a little disturbing, I think. | 22:18 |
| travis-5 | the idea that you waste some disk space | 22:18 |
| travis-5 | but, if that's a solution, I'll go for it! | 22:18 |
| The_Cog | disturbing how? Unless you start k3b, the libraries will just sit on disk, not in memory. Not a problem unless disk space is short. | 22:19 |
| recon_lap | my dvd burner died a long time ago :) | 22:20 |
| travis-5 | yes, that's my case these times.. | 22:20 |
| travis-5 | sorry for you, recon | 22:20 |
| recon_lap | long live flash drives :) | 22:21 |
| travis-5 | hahaha | 22:21 |
| travis-5 | imma firin my BURNING laaaza my friends | 22:21 |
| travis-5 | and finally going to try k3b | 22:22 |
