[00:25] <Zelouille> faryshta: I don't really know... Maybe try : ifup eth0
[00:26] <faryshta> Zelouille: unknown instance eth0
[00:27] <well_laid_lawn> have a look at   ifconfig -a   to find out what it's called
[00:29] <Zelouille> faryshta: yup, check the name with "ifconfig", or try "ifup -a". All your interfaces will be turned ON.
[00:34] <faryshta> Zelouille: ifup -a doesn't show any result
[00:35] <Zelouille> faryshta: and what does "ifconfig -a" return ?
[00:36] <Zelouille> faryshta, sell_laid_lawn: Maybe "ifup" does need a "sudo" ? I don't know.
[00:37] <Zelouille> well_laid_lawn*
[00:39] <faryshta> Zelouille: yup I used sudo but I get no errors or anything
[00:40] <xubuntu227> quick question: what command do i use to discover whether my hardware is 32 or 64-bit?
[00:46] <Zelouille> !64bit | xubuntu227
[00:47] <Zelouille> xubuntu227: look for "How to Check"
[00:47] <xubuntu227> no way to query your system so it will tell you?
[00:48] <xubuntu227> sorry,  your note re "how to check" came just before i hit send re "query"
[00:48] <xubuntu227> will do as "how to check" advises, thx
[00:51] <xubuntu227> hmmm. article says run "grep --color=always -iw lm /proc/cpuinfo" etc so i did that and got no response whatsoever
[00:54] <well_laid_lawn> "If this command returns lm (Long Mode) as one of the flags, then your processor is capable of 64-bit. "
[00:55] <well_laid_lawn> nothing like reading to find out stuff ;)
[00:57] <Zelouille> xubuntu227: If you want something more verbose : if [[ $(sed -n '/flags/{/lm/ p;q}' /proc/cpuinfo) ]] ; then echo "Compatible 64 bits" ; else echo "Non-compatible 64 bits" ; fi
[00:58] <Zelouille> xubuntu227: well, it's french, but you should understand.
[01:26] <xubuntu227> apologies, well_laid_lawn and Zelouille, walked away and now no time to pursue matter. until another day then and thanks. over and out.
[02:19] <Enmity> Hi, I am a new linux user using xubuntu.  I inserted a usb drive and copied over photos but when I got to the photo shop they were not on the drive.  Now that I am back home and checked on the drive they are there again.  Am I going mad or can only xubuntu see the files it copies onto the drive?
[02:32] <sgtmcc> Enmity: what file format are the photos in?
[02:37] <Enmity> sgtmcc, just normal .jpg
[02:38] <sgtmcc> Ive never had an issue copying from linux to a thumbdrive and having it read by anything else, unless it was not properly unmounted
[02:39] <Enmity> sgtmcc, and the usb drive is just normal fat32
[02:39] <sgtmcc> then based on what you said it SHOULD work
[02:39] <sgtmcc> why it isnt I am not sure
[02:39] <Enmity> when I look at the file permissions it says owner is read write but group and other are none, so I think that is the problem but it will not let me change it
[02:40] <sgtmcc> you can open up a terminal in that folder and try chmod 777 *
[02:41] <Enmity> sgtmcc, tried that, even with sudo and it will not change it
[02:42] <sgtmcc> do you have a windows partition or another computer to see if they can be seen?
[02:43] <Enmity> so, how do I make xubuntu automatically mount and write files to the usb with read/write for all?
[02:44] <sgtmcc> that I am not sure of, might have to do with the fstab...not 100% sure though
[02:44] <Enmity> no, just this one at the moment
[02:48] <Enmity> nothing in fstab for mounting flash drives
[03:04] <xubuntu460> hi all i m currently stuck in xubuntu installation via usb key someone can help?
[03:08] <holstein> xubuntu460: stuck?
[03:08] <holstein> xubuntu460: what are you doing and what do you want to do?
[03:12] <sgtmcc> whats the problem?
[03:45] <Zelouille> knome: Since two weeks, Firefox can't read your blog RSS feed anymore.
[03:46] <Zelouille> knome: maybe because your <?xml ?> tag is on line 2 instead of 1.
[09:01] <hero616> Could 2 programs access the same mouse? read("/dev/input/mouse0",...)
[09:04] <TheSheep> hero616: there is a multiplexer
[09:05] <TheSheep> hero616: gpm
[09:05] <hero616> Could you give more details?
[09:06] <TheSheep> hero616: no
[09:06] <TheSheep> hero616: you will have to google
[09:06] <TheSheep> hero616: I don't know more details
[09:06] <hero616> I'm googling
[09:10] <hero616> looks like cannot use gpm in X window, but I exactly want to use it under x window.
[09:11] <TheSheep> hero616: x has its own mouse support, why are you even trying to get to /dev/input/mouse?
[09:12] <hero616> I want to disable a particular mouse support in x window.
[09:13] <TheSheep> hero616: you want to grab the mouse cursor, maybe?
[09:13] <hero616> no, I want the raw data from mouse, not used as a mouse.
[09:14] <hero616> Maybe I can try a system without x window.
[09:14] <TheSheep> and you want it to be read by several applications at the same time?
[09:15] <hero616> no, I just want it to be read by my program, not the x window.
[09:15] <TheSheep> well, you can easily override X config to use only specified mouse devices, I think
[09:15] <TheSheep> in the xorg.conf
[09:16] <hero616> OK, I will try, thanks a lot.

[19:08] <dr0nf> hey
[19:10] <dr0nf> i want to install xubuntu, but after booting from usb-stick all i get is a login prompt.
[19:10] <SuSu_> i have a webcam but does not seem to work on linux its an outdated camera and hard to get drivers for it suggestions?
[19:10] <dr0nf> what is the standardpassword for root?
[19:10] <pleia2> dr0nf: none
[19:11] <dr0nf> hm.. none does not work
[19:11] <dr0nf> strange
[19:11] <pleia2> the root account isn't enabled in xubuntu, you want to use the user account you set up
[19:11] <pleia2> or is the usb-stick the installer?
[19:11] <dr0nf> yes its the installer
[19:11] <dr0nf> at least it should be
[19:12] <pleia2> strange, are you sure it's done loading up the installer?
[19:13] <dr0nf> hm... may be something got lost...
[19:13] <dr0nf> i'll dd the image once more to the usb stick and try it again
[19:13] <SuSu_> dronf did you try unetbootin
[19:15] <pleia2> dding won't work, use unetbootin as SuSu_ says or usb-creator-gtk
[19:15] <pleia2> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[19:15] <dr0nf> so far i just use dd if=bla.iso of=/dev/sd* and it always worked well
[19:16] <SuSu_> your welcome pleia2 =]
[19:18] <SuSu_> webcam not working here, anyone know of solutions?
[19:18] <dr0nf> okay i'll give it a try
[19:26] <SuSu_> anyone know how to fix webcam drivers?
[19:30] <artu> Buonasera
[19:31] <pleia2> SuSu_: might want to search ubuntuforums.org or askubuntu.com for your camera make and model, they are all different and it's highly unlikely that someone here has the same one as you do
[19:32] <SuSu_> pleia2:  i was curious because on cheese and camorama it works but on skype and tinychat it doesnt
[19:33] <pleia2> SuSu_: ah, looks like you need to do some application-level debugging then
[19:33] <SuSu_> pleia2: im new to linux i have a very small understanding of the OS
[19:33] <pleia2> skype is tricky because it's closed-source and there isn't really a way to get fixes for it (Microsoft doesn't do a great job of supporting the Linux version, updates are pretty rare), but there are some settings you can change for the video
[19:35] <SuSu_> pleia2:  if i can get it to work in skype is a plus but if i can get it to work most other places its a plus
[19:36] <pleia2> SuSu_: I recommend looking at the settings in the application where you want it to work, if that doesn't work do some searches for you camera make and model and the application you want to use it with
[19:36] <pleia2> could be the application doesn't support your camera, or people had to do some tricky things to get it to work
[19:36] <SuSu_> pleia2: i was thinking (and mostly my style) is the 2nd part you suggested
[19:37] <SuSu_> pleia2: in windows i had to use an old webcam driver to get it to work cause its an old webcam that isnt compatible with most drivers
[19:37] <SuSu_> pleia2: but when i try to change the settings in programs it doesnt give me an option its just a black screen
[19:38] <SuSu_> i changed my desktop, i changed my terminal, getting my webcam to run is the last piece of the puzzle
[19:38] <pleia2> SuSu_: I really suggest you do some searches, "my cameras work fine" so I am not very useful to help you debug :)
[19:39] <SuSu_> its ok i came to check out the community to see if any prolevels were here to help me =] but i dont mind doing some searches
[19:39] <SuSu_> pleia2: also, some user yesterday was helping me with compiz so i was in the compiz channel yesterday
[19:39] <SuSu_> pleia2:  and they told me to kill my XFDESKTOP and stopped giving it a run command
[19:39] <pleia2> with hardware issues it's really hard because it's very very unlikely that in a channel of 100 random users someone will have identical hardware to you
[19:40] <SuSu_> pleia2:  oh i know, which is fine but at least they can point me to the right places to look, you know?
[19:40] <pleia2> the help websites I recommended have millions of users combined
[19:40] <SuSu_> pleia2: so this user told me to un-execute my xfdesktop, is this a bad thing cause afterwards they said something like TROLLED AGAIN
[19:41] <pleia2> here?
[19:41] <SuSu_> no over in #compiz
[19:41] <pleia2> ah
[19:41] <SuSu_> pleia2:  so i dont know if they ruined my OS or if they were talking to someone else (no one was talking) or if they were actually being helpful
[19:41] <pleia2> not sure what to tell you, but putting the make and model of your camera into one of the help sites I suggested really should at least get you on the right track
[19:51] <xubuntu466> Hello
[19:53] <xubuntu466> Hey everyone, lately I've been looking for a fast and reliable Linux Distro and came upon Xubuntu, I was wondering if there was a better way to set up Xubuntu and instead of having to use the disk if I could dual boot to it, that way I don't have to keep carrying a disk/usb around.
[19:58] <xubuntu466> Help?
[19:59] <TheSheep> sure, you can dual-boot
[19:59] <TheSheep> the procedure is the same as with ubuntu
[20:00] <TheSheep> you just use the xubuntu iso istead
[20:00] <TheSheep> instead
[20:45] <xubuntu466> Well then how do we dual boot using the ISO? I used WUBI to dual boot ubuntu. SOoooo sorry for my newbieness
[20:49] <xubuntu466> Well then how do we dual boot using the ISO? I used WUBI to dual boot ubuntu. SOoooo sorry for my newbieness
[20:55] <xubuntu466> Okay..

[22:15] <rmoore> hey  everyone. having alittle trouble getting xubuntu 12.04
[22:15] <rmoore> working on my old dell latitude d800. when i try to install the nvidia-96 driver from the software center i'm getting a "dependencies cannot be resolved" error message.
[22:16] <rmoore> ok i tried from the command line but it's telling me i need xorg-video-abi-10 but it's not installable?
[22:17] <well_laid_lawn> how did you set your repos up?
[22:17] <well_laid_lawn> !repos
[22:18] <well_laid_lawn> !nvidia
[22:19] <rmoore> How do I see how my repos are set up?
[22:19] <rmoore> I installed xubuntu straight from the 32 bit 12.04 iso
[22:20] <well_laid_lawn> check the links ubottu mentioned
[22:21] <rmoore> i know which package I need exactly. its the nvidia-96 one for my Nvidia Go card
[22:21] <thinpadT61> hello, everyone
[22:22] <thinpadT61> anyone with insight into internal microphone set up in older thinkpads?  I am using Precise Pangolin
[23:32] <oal> I have a core i7, and I want to enable the builtin gpu, as I have no other gpu. System settings says "Driver: Mesa GLX Indirect", which is wrong. Any ideas how to enable the Intel gpu?
[23:37] <nantou> how many here do fresh installs only?
[23:37] <GridCube> oal, the generic drivers should work, do lspci | grep "VGA" to see the device
[23:38] <GridCube> nantou, many
[23:38] <GridCube> why?
[23:38] <oal> GridCube: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[23:38] <nantou> curiosity
[23:39] <oal> GridCube: I installed another package. Let me reboot the computer and see if it changed anything
[23:42] <oal> GridCube: ok, so that didn't help. Suggestions?
[23:46] <paloma> hi all,  i was wondering if someone might be able to help me with a sound issue im having?
[23:46] <|Slacker|> shoot
[23:47] <paloma> well, all my sound is fine on my laptop for 99% of things, though im using "audio-recorder" (and tried another similar one) to capture sound of some videos/websites etc
[23:47] <paloma> problem is when i record from that the recordings come out slow, almost half the speed they should be
[23:48] <paloma> all other music files/videos etc play back fine on the computer
[23:48] <paloma> i also tried audacity to capture the sound and the output comes out the same
[23:56] <Zeiva> Question: After installing Xubuntu 12.10 x64 on a HP laptop with ATI HD3600 graphics I dont get any bootscreen, its just black for a while and eventually the desktop comes up. Is this intended or can I fix it?
[23:58] <Zeiva> Does not really bother me but I'm not the one who will use the laptop either. Would be good for the intended user to have a clear indication that something was infact loading
