[02:46] Where is keyboard information stored? I had a good numpad setup working, then wiped my laptop. I've got my home directory saved though. [02:48] First place I'd look is file:///home/$USER/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml [02:51] drc, actually... I just realized I'd already copied the whole .config/xfce4 directory over. Not the same laptop, but they're both Acer Aspires, so I thought it'd be fine. Not so. The laptop it DID come from though... I've also copied the directory over there and that number pad isn't working right either. [02:51] I want to hit Shift and Home (also 7) to hightlight where I am back to the beginning of a line. With numlock off, the 7 key brings me Home. With Shift, it types a 7. [03:41] hi everyone. from far east. [03:42] chia: cheers! [03:43] i ran into a driver problem of intel graphics installing ubuntu studio, so their channel people suggest me with xubuntu. [03:44] well i have to say i hate unity and prefer kde more. [03:45] chia: i suggested removing ubuntustudio from the equation [03:45] make sure that its a 64bit kernel driver support issue [03:46] did you mean, that 'studio' doest not equal 'you have to make art with this' [03:46] chia: try 64bit kubuntu [03:47] i tried 64 bit ubuntu and everything is ok. [03:47] chia: cool.. that is news to me [03:47] and yes i am downloading xubuntu 1210 64bit. [03:47] about to finish in some minutes. [03:49] well, can it because of being installed to an usb harddrive? [03:53] chia: anything is possible.. but no [03:56] and another problem that has been nightmare for me since the first time i install ubuntu/fedora...all those distros: [03:56] the OS consumes too much power. [03:57] using windows i can limit my cpufreq to 1.2GHz [03:58] and tune to 3.2GHz when needed [03:58] i tried sites, forums, tutorials [03:58] chia: your hardware vendor is free to create drivers for linux as they have for windows [03:59] chia: jupiter is a good place to start [03:59] as you have said, intel is supported, and processor speed scaling should always be supported. [04:00] but no one wants to tweak the settings via terminal [04:01] hey guys. does anyone know how to install the steam beta on 64bit ? [04:01] in windows you check for 'power settings' and choose a desired cpu speed, in ubuntu never! [04:02] chia: i do that often [04:02] chia: in ubuntu.. with jupiter.. the software i suggested [04:02] okay, i m about to try that, in some minutes [04:03] thank you again [04:05] ISO burning [04:14] installing xubuntu from livecd image... [04:15] there should be no difference between installing directly and installing after trying out [04:15] and i hope so. [04:16] when dragging the windows the graphic is tearing, shows that no hardware rendering is available [04:17] hope that wont happen after the installation. [04:18] hey guys how would you install the ia32libs on 64bit (12.10)? [04:18] the multiarch stuff doesn [04:18] tt work [04:19] cant help you much. i use steam only on indows. [04:19] Windows [04:20] same here but thats the goal isn't ? finally getting rid of the MS crap [04:20] so ImDoT, you install steam for games right [04:21] well yes [04:23] my impression of linux stuff: strong, free and open source, lots of people helping you, but no one responsible for problems. [04:24] however i still like it [04:26] that's one way to look at it. since you don't have to pay for it, i find this drawback very acceptable. after all this way you meet people that really like their OS. that's probably more than most window support team members can say === homer is now known as Guest66680 === newbie is now known as Guest66936 [10:08] I just created swap partition on my sda, how to attach it ?

[17:31] hi, do you fellas know what is the problem, because xubuntu goes only for "terminal" login screen after installing? [17:31] and when I put username and pass then it does actually nothing [17:36] karmakosmikk: nothing? does it log you in? [17:36] karmakosmikk: did you get to a desktop from the live CD? [17:36] not to desktop [17:36] only black screen and some text [17:37] like loading texts [17:37] karmakosmikk: i would take the live CD.. boot it... right after the bios screens, tap or hold shift [17:37] it is netbook so no cd-rom [17:37] when you see a menu, at the bottom there is an F6 option.. select "nomodeset" and try booting the desktop live [17:37] used unetbootin to create usb [17:37] karmakosmikk: sure.. from usb or whatever [17:39] it just says "welcome to ubuntu" and 0 pakages can be updated , 0 updates are security updates. thats what i get [17:39] karmakosmikk: sure.. thats logged in [17:39] karmakosmikk: you are logged into text mode.. not sure why, [17:39] and only command line style thingies here [17:39] and waiting typing cursor [17:39] blinking and blinking [17:39] karmakosmikk: sure.. i understand.. and you *are* logged in [17:39] karmakosmikk: type "startx" [17:40] ok [17:40] and press the enter key [17:40] fatal server error: no screens found [17:40] hmmmm [17:40] karmakosmikk: so, boot the live CD as i suggested [17:41] karmakosmikk: see if you can get to the live CD using "nomodeset" which is safe graphics mode [17:41] i have xubuntu downloading right now because i assumed it installed via usb ok [17:42] ?? [17:42] but it is soon there [17:42] karmakosmikk: what are you booting now? [17:42] xubuntu that is installed from usb to netbooks hard drive [17:42] karmakosmikk: use whatever you used to install xubuntu from [17:42] it said all is ok reboot now [17:42] karmakosmikk: fomr that *same* media, dont install.. just try live [17:42] ok [17:42] well i download that [17:42] karmakosmikk: if you are asking me "what wrong?" i am postulating, you have graphics hardware that is not supported [17:43] what is the difference with live and what i downloaded [17:43] karmakosmikk: OR, you have installed incorrectly [17:43] karmakosmikk: nothing [17:43] karmakosmikk: the difference is.. you wont install [17:43] karmakosmikk: you will boot it live.. thus determining if you can boot xubuntu on your hardware, and how easy that process might be [17:44] i can boot it liv [17:44] e [17:44] karmakosmikk: this will take your current install (which i know nothing about) out of the equation, and tell me and you if you can boot the os live [17:44] have done it [17:44] karmakosmikk: have booted xubuntu live? to the desktop? [17:44] lived it and then installed it in there [17:44] not yet [17:44] takes time [17:44] karmakosmikk: ? [17:45] now i dont have that iso in usb as i described earlier [17:45] karmakosmikk: i would put that in.. boot the live desktop.. install from there (or reinstall) and test again [17:46] ok i do that [17:46] should take 32 bit for netbook what have 1 gig of mem? [17:46] karmakosmikk: there shouldnt be a netbook specific one [17:47] yes but atom in here is 64 bit [17:47] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/12.04/release/xubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso is what i would get from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/12.04/release/ [17:47] karmakosmikk: i would not put 64bit on a netbook [17:47] ok i take 32 [17:47] 12.10 if you prefer http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/12.10/release/ [17:48] just did full complete install of xubuntu on HP mini 210 2gb ram, 160gb HD, 1.6 Atom. pretty much a n00b with linux/ubuntu but i love the simplicity of it. im in the middle of the install yet, but wondering if WINE works in xubuntu? [17:48] bjr222: xubuntu *is* ubuntu.. which is linux.. wine works in linux [17:48] !wine [17:48] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [17:49] wine does not run steel panthers anymore :( [17:49] thank you [17:49] bjr222: wine *always* works fine in xubuntu.. its the specific windows application that might not work with wine that coud be problematic [17:50] so unetbootin should be good app for this kind of tasks? [17:50] or is there better? [17:50] tried to install bodhi via unetbootin and it hanged to the loading screen [17:50] when booted [17:51] just saw bodhi loading icon and thats it :) [17:51] i only ask because my woman does online schooling and uses msOffice. she has her own laptop w/ win7 but i wanna play with ubuntu on netbook. just curious if we get in a jam with her laptop for some reason, will i be able to run msWord for her in desparate times? [17:51] bjr222, i wouldn't count on ms word running on wine well [17:52] yeah.. its spotty, and can break anytime [17:52] bjr222: keep in mind, nothing prevents MS from releasing office for linux [17:53] ok, well if needed down the road i will probably buy her a cheap-o walmart laptop [17:53] thanks again [17:53] i don't think there's too much done for ms word working with wine since there is open/libreoffice === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === lumpy is now known as lump|lump [18:20] heyas [18:21] by chance is there anyone about that is good with setting up this os on a G5?

[18:25] xubuntu267: try with no password, if that dont work, try really hard to remember the user and password you entered when installing [18:25] you might want to try "root" and just hitting enter [18:25] that is what I have had to do with other ubuntu variants [18:26] but have no specific knowledge on the actual q [18:26] no root user on Ubuntu [18:26] duh [18:26] right [18:26] not for a while anyhow [18:26] and i thought he met with just the live CD [18:27] sorry [18:29] xubuntu267: a live CD should not ask for you to login? [18:31] it is live cd i just hit 'try xubuntu' without username and password [18:33] when it asked for login i just entered nothing but didn't work [18:35] little help on installing fonts? when i try to copy the font file in to /user/share/fonts it simply won't allow it to copy [18:35] xubuntu267: strange , your sure thats whats happening. and have you tried on a different computer? [18:35] I just tried with the 13.04 daily and "logging out" of the LiveCD session drops the user to the Login does require a login/password (and ENTER/ENTER does not work) [18:36] I just happened to have a USB with the daily on it :) [18:36] xubuntu267: are you able to use the live cd and then get logged out? could it be a screen saver? [18:37] no it is 10 sec of black screen and then it asks login info [18:38] i have had live CDs ask that before [18:38] not sure if ubuntu still had root then [18:38] but the login was root [18:38] and the pass was just enter [18:39] xubuntu267: and your sure it's booting from the live CD ? [18:39] sure [18:39] bbiab [18:40] can anyone help me install a font? [18:40] tried to copy in to /usr/share/fonts and it won't allow me to copy in to that folder... [18:41] xubuntu267 what's your issue? [18:41] bjr222: try using sudo [18:42] bjr222: you probably need permissions to copy to that directory [18:42] im new at this and not very familiar with terminal commands. is there a command list or link avail for a n00b? [18:43] i understand the sudo idea but dont know the specific commands [18:43] you could also just install them for your user, create a .fonts/ directory in your home directory and then run: fc-cache -f [18:43] bjr222: start with "man sudo" in a terminal [18:43] after putting said .ttf files in the .fonts/ directory [18:43] xubuntu 12.10 live cd default login\password?

PPC isn't officially supported, but getting it to work is great. Did you by chance try the Lubuntu PPC version? [20:38] yeah, i tried lubuntu as well [20:39] i had it going okay in 2D [20:39] but it didn't like me when I installed xfce [20:39] which struck me as very odd [20:41] one thing for sure, if I can't get the audio working, it is pretty useless to me [20:42] and I will miss having chrome browser but that looks like it is lost to the ancient architecture [20:49] and I have audio w00t!

[21:49] shared folders on my other machines [21:49] yeah samba shares [21:50] you'll want to check out and setup samba... samba is not quite the same as a windows share.. though samba can see share with windows [21:50] lumpX: what do i do? i use gigolo to connect or test connecting to any share [21:50] lumpX: seems like you are looking for "network places" from windows [21:51] something like that [21:51] just got rid of ubuntu 12.10 and installed clean xubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, liked perfomance on my old pc, and visuals.. [21:51] on my other machines "browse network" or "network" shows up [21:51] but not on this G5 [21:51] lumpX: from what, nautilus? [21:52] no thunar atm [21:52] lumpX: correct.. but from before on other machines, thats nautilus you are referencing? [21:52] though i could try and launch nautilus but would rather just get it to work in thunar [21:52] and yeah on ubuntu studio, it uses nautilus [21:52] lumpX: or just install and use gigolo to mount, and then use whatever file browser you choose [21:53] but irc, mint uses thunar [21:53] lumpX: mint uses different ones [21:53] gigolo is installed [21:53] lumpX: there are mint versions that use nautilus, and the one they are making that is like nautilus [21:54] kk [21:54] i will poke about a bit more [21:54] sure, poke around... or open gigolo and point it to the ip of the machine with the share [21:54]
