[13:57] <xubuntu576> hey TheSheep !
[13:58] <xubuntu576> i have a problem : )  i re installed xubuntu 12.04 after making big update because
[14:00] <xubuntu576> at the start it stop writting : something like "broken pipe" and  "checking battery state"
[14:02] <xubuntu576> i started with a startx but it doesnt start properly ihav to get in the terminal, and the sound also doesnt work . and it doesnt shutdown properly also .
[14:03] <xubuntu576> do you know maybe something about it ?
[14:07] <TheSheep> xubuntu576: sounds like a bothed install. did you format the disks when re-installing?
[14:11] <xubuntu576> TheSheep > yes i did over write upon the "old" version
[14:25] <xubuntu576> TheSheep ?
[14:29] <TheSheep> xubuntu576: no ideas
[14:30] <xubuntu576> hum i found some documents but i dont understand what they did
[14:30] <xubuntu576> here it is :
[14:30] <xubuntu576> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1973049
[14:31] <xubuntu576> at the end of the page they say to change from 0700 to 0755 ... but what and where is it ? i dont know
[14:32] <TheSheep> !permissions
[14:32] <ubottu> An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions
[14:39] <xubuntu576> i dont really get it , is 0 7 5 5 a code ?  is it made of different types of meaning ?
[14:40] <TheSheep> it's a notation for file permissions, as explained under that link
[14:48] <xubuntu576> ok i dont know the command to navigate into the terminal , to change the directory and beeing sur th problem is the same . so i will probably break more things doing so. as i did so far.
[15:07] <a8s0lut0> Hello all!  I would like to run the open source ATI driver (radeon/radeonhd) but it appears "vesa" is what xubuntu is running out of the box.
[15:07] <a8s0lut0> I don't know how to make the change
[15:08] <a8s0lut0> running 12.04, have a ATI 1900XTX (R500)
[15:09] <TheSheep> !ati
[15:09] <ubottu> For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto
[15:14] <a8s0lut0> haven't seen that resource yet thanks. what's the command to learn what driver i'm using?
[15:14] <a8s0lut0> i used the compiz-check util @ forlong.blogage.de/article/pages/Compiz-Check which says vesa
[15:15] <a8s0lut0> but when I run sudo lshw -C video it says "configuration: driver=radeon"
[15:15] <holstein> i think most proprietary drivers will put an xorg.conf in place
[17:10] <xubuntu_> anyone could help me partition on dual boot on mini mac?
[17:12] <xubuntu_> manual partitioning?
[17:14] <xubuntu_> anybody here?
[17:18] <baizon> yes

[23:04] <xubuntu130> Just installed Xubunt 12.04.  Booted from installation CD just fine.  Installation went fine.  First boot is to a white screen with crazy weird large letters and a blinking dot.I can hit enter and it looks like there is a command large weird command line somewhere in there.  It does not respond to any commands though.  Any help?
