| thedoctar | does lubuntu have templates? | 05:35 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | What type? | 05:36 |
| mysteriousdarren | thedoctar: for what? | 05:36 |
| thedoctar | in pcmanfm, when you right click under the menu create new... | 05:38 |
| thedoctar | when I was using gnome, nautilus would have files located in ~/Templates in that menu | 05:38 |
| Unit193 | http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Google_Summer_of_Code_2010#Add_Custom_File_Actions.2C_.22Send_to.22.2C_and_.22Create_New_Files.22_to_popup_menus_of_PCManFM.2FLibfm I'd guess a no? | 05:43 |
| Unit193 | Or http://www.mail-archive.com/pcmanfm-develop@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00471.html indicates it may be. :P | 05:45 |
| thedoctar | http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3397302&group_id=156956&atid=801867 | 05:46 |
| thedoctar | it says here resolution:fixed for the feature request | 05:46 |
| thedoctar | but the templates thing doesn't work for me | 05:47 |
| thedoctar | I was wondering whether it was because the feature didn't exist or whether something is wrong with my computer | 05:47 |
| Unit193 | I'd test it if I had one. | 05:50 |
| thedoctar | if you had what? | 05:51 |
| Unit193 | themaster: I'd try asking in #lxde | 05:59 |
| thedoctar | okay | 06:10 |

| pmatulis | should i be trying to start stuff upon login by using ~/.config/openbox/autostart ? tried it yesterday and nothing happened | 13:33 |
| xiaoy | How can i tell lubuntu not to hibernate, suspend or anyting like that, when i close the lid of my laptop? | 14:01 |
| xiaoy | Any help on this is kindly apreciated :) | 14:01 |
| xiaoy | i've found this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/15520/how-can-i-tell-ubuntu-to-do-nothing-when-i-close-my-laptop-lid | 14:02 |
| xiaoy | but it need gconf, is there a solution for lxde too? | 14:02 |
| xiaoy | oh... it seems i found myself the answer looking in the menu :P for power settings | 14:08 |
| Alessio | How do i change language of my Lubuntu installation? / or install language packs. The guide says Preferences->language support. but there is not a such voice in the menu | 15:24 |
| powermi | hi | 15:39 |
| mysteriousdaren | powermi: hi | 15:40 |
| powermi | need help installing LUBUNTO on a powerPC | 15:40 |
| powermi | how can i get help? | 15:40 |
| mysteriousdaren | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads/ | 15:40 |
| mysteriousdaren | did you check this out? | 15:40 |
| powermi | yes | 15:41 |
| powermi | but cant find my problem | 15:41 |
| mysteriousdaren | what kind of help do you need? what are you having trouble doing? | 15:41 |
| powermi | just try to install Lubuntu 12.10 on powermac g4, and afeter booting in live cd and charge the status bar in the blue screen there is a fast message coming saying : Stopping sistem | 15:42 |
| powermi | and few works more, but its to quickly to read | 15:42 |
| mysteriousdaren | did you try the alternate install cd? | 15:44 |
| powermi | no, whats the diference? | 15:44 |
| powermi | now i am downloading it | 15:44 |
| mysteriousdaren | it just has a blue/white install base for users that can't run the regular live cd. I always just skip to using it, because as I've found a faster install ttime | 15:46 |
| powermi | so you preffer aternate install? | 15:47 |
| powermi | is easy for a noob too? | 15:47 |
| holstein | i would do 12.04 | 15:47 |
| holstein | or older... ppc support will not be improving | 15:48 |
| powermi | 12.04 better than 12.10? | 15:48 |
| holstein | powermi: "better" is a matter of opinion.. you might find the ppc support better in 12.04, or 10.04 | 15:48 |
| powermi | ill try alternate 12.04 | 15:49 |
| powermi | lets see | 15:49 |
| powermi | thanks a lot | 15:49 |
| powermi | very helpfully | 15:49 |
| mysteriousdaren | I run alternate 12.04 on one netbook, and 12.10 on another | 15:49 |
| mysteriousdaren | both lubuntu | 15:49 |
| holstein | i like to try the live CD's.. i like to see the desktop first before installing | 15:50 |
| holstein | but the alternate iso's can be helpful too if you have issues | 15:50 |
| powermi | but its suppose that 12.10 shlould be better than the 04? | 15:51 |
| powermi | isnt it= | 15:51 |
| powermi | ? | 15:51 |
| holstein | powermi: "better" is a matter of opinion.. and hardware support | 15:51 |
| holstein | powermi: no.. nothing about 12.10 is "better" | 15:51 |
| holstein | the packages are newer... its newer.. its more recent | 15:51 |
| powermi | ok, i understand | 15:52 |
| holstein | powermi: if you need something from 12.10, you need to run 12.10.. otherwise, PPC support is going away... so you might have better luck with an earlier, arguably more supported release | 15:52 |
| powermi | fow a low end mac, do you recomend other linux distro? | 15:52 |
| holstein | powermi: actually, PPC support is not "going away".. its gone.. its not officially supported | 15:52 |
| holstein | powermi: i dont run X on mine | 15:53 |
| holstein | works great as a commandline only machine... a headless server | 15:53 |
| holstein | i recommend moving away from that hardware for a destkop ASAP | 15:53 |
| powermi | sorry but love my PPCs | 15:54 |
| holstein | especially these days when you can dig a comparable PC out of the trash | 15:54 |
| powermi | is a great arquitechture | 15:54 |
| holstein | powermi: you can, and most do... and they were great | 15:54 |
| holstein | powermi: again.. im not saying they are "bad" | 15:54 |
| holstein | powermi: im saying they are not supported | 15:54 |
| holstein | powermi: you will only have more and more trouble using them as desktop machines, and these days, you can dig comparable PC's out of the trash | 15:55 |
| holstein | ubuntuserver runs great on them | 15:55 |
| mysteriousdaren | powermi: what are the specs on your ppc? | 15:56 |
| holstein | G4 | 15:56 |
| powermi | 773 mhz, 2 Gb RAM | 15:56 |
| powermi | lot os SATA disk and IDE | 15:56 |
| holstein | i have a stack of PC hardware comprarable to that that is going to the donation station | 15:57 |
| powermi | me too, have some PCs "better" than mi PPC | 15:58 |
| powermi | and give them away | 15:58 |
| holstein | i would choose a 12.04 LTS and try and get it up and running, and enjoy the EOL of that hardare.. or try running ubuntuser | 15:58 |
| powermi | thanks a lot mate | 15:58 |
| holstein | ppc support is not getting better.. it will only get worse | 15:58 |
| mysteriousdaren | i'd set up a headless server like our resident guru suggested, I recently set up a server with lubuntu 12.10 through an ubuntu server install dual core, 8gb ram. It depends on what works for you. I was told it was a piece of crap, but is rock solid | 15:59 |
| holstein | mysteriousdaren: i can still get a lot done on my dual core with 8 gigs of ram... | 16:02 |
| powermi | is a powerPC? | 16:03 |
| mysteriousdaren | no, but I recently installed lubuntu 12.10 on a ppc a few weeks ago, used the alternate install | 16:03 |
| powermi | ok tnaks | 16:04 |
| mysteriousdaren | hostein: what are you running in it? | 16:05 |
| powermi | just music a torrent server | 16:09 |
| powermi | and use it for backup | 16:09 |
| mysteriousdaren | powermi: you should be good to go | 16:10 |
| powermi | ? | 16:11 |
| vasilakisfil | how can I install (from cli) all packets that their name start with the same prefix, like packet0.10- ? | 17:47 |
| vasilakisfil | sudo apt-get install packet0.10-* does not work.. | 17:47 |
| holstein | vasilakisfil: i dont see those in the repos.. did you add a PPA? | 17:49 |
| vasilakisfil | haha its just an example | 17:49 |
| vasilakisfil | actually I want gstreamer0.10-* | 17:49 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-* looks like its going to work for me.. whats the error? | 17:51 |
| vasilakisfil | ➜ ~ sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-.* | 17:52 |
| vasilakisfil | zsh: no matches found: gstreamer0.10-.* | 17:52 |
| vasilakisfil | oops sorry | 17:52 |
| vasilakisfil | anyway even without the dot I get the same error | 17:52 |
| holstein | vasilakisfil: do you have errors with sudo apt-get update ? | 17:53 |
| vasilakisfil | only gstreamer0.10-. worked for me | 17:53 |
| vasilakisfil | what errors should I have ? | 17:53 |
| holstein | vasilakisfil: none, ideally | 17:53 |
| vasilakisfil | Actually I don't have any error | 17:54 |
| holstein | vasilakisfil: im just trying to sort out why you are not able to use the wild card as i am | 17:54 |
| vasilakisfil | maybe due to zsh shell | 17:54 |
| vasilakisfil | you have bash I suppose ? | 17:54 |
| holstein | what did i do? i typed 'sudo apt-get install gstreamer', i hit the tab key... i used what was returned to create the wildcard i wanted | 17:54 |
| holstein | hyperair: i dont use zsh | 17:55 |
| hyperair | ? | 17:55 |
| wxl | vasilakisfil: some talk of wildcards includes zsh here http://www.linux-mag.com/id/1528/ | 17:55 |
| holstein | hyperair: sorry... vasilakisfil ^^ | 17:55 |
| wxl | i don't use zsh either | 17:56 |
| hyperair | my zsh is configured to refuse execution of the command when * is unexpanded. | 17:56 |
| hyperair | so when i really need to pass * in as an argument, i use \* | 17:56 |
| hyperair | perhaps that's what you need? | 17:57 |
| vasilakisfil | yeah \* works fine | 17:58 |
| vasilakisfil | oh and another thing | 17:59 |
| holstein | what are the chances i would accedentally ping hyperair for a relevant query :) | 18:00 |
| vasilakisfil | in lubuntu\s default imag viewer images are getting "chopped", is this a known bug ? | 18:00 |
| wxl | hah | 18:00 |
| holstein | vasilakisfil: chopped? | 18:00 |
| holstein | vasilakisfil: feel free and take a screenshot... | 18:00 |
| hyperair | holstein: :-) | 18:00 |
| vasilakisfil | yeah good idea | 18:00 |
| vasilakisfil | http://postimage.org/gallery/26gs2508/e49ca613/ | 18:02 |
| wxl | weird | 18:02 |
| vasilakisfil | it happens 70% of the times | 18:02 |
| wxl | does that do that when not maximized? | 18:02 |
| vasilakisfil | well randomly but more often when I move forward to another image (or backwards) | 18:03 |
| wxl | so let me be clear on your answer: if the window is not maximized, does it do that at all? | 18:03 |
| vasilakisfil | I will install ubuntu's default image viewer to see what is happening there | 18:03 |
| vasilakisfil | it does it randomly which means even if it is not maximized or if I explicitely maximize the window | 18:04 |
| holstein | vasilakisfil: i can only say it doesnt do that for me | 18:05 |
| vasilakisfil | hehe | 18:05 |
| wxl | yeah i don't have that problem either | 18:05 |
| wxl | have you searched launchpad for a relevant bug? | 18:05 |
| holstein | vasilakisfil: i would try a few things... check for and apply upgrades... try as a different user (to remove your user config from the equation) try live CD's of whatever you might have sitting around.. try other graphics drivers | 18:05 |
| holstein | vasilakisfil: also, trying other image viewers as you suggeste | 18:06 |
| vasilakisfil | ok | 18:08 |
| vasilakisfil | only live usb remains to check | 18:13 |
| wxl | sounds like a new bug to fill | 18:14 |
| wxl | whether or not we have the problem, you do! | 18:14 |
| vasilakisfil | anyway, another image viewer is the only case in which images are shown properly | 18:14 |
| vasilakisfil | ok I will try live usb now.. | 18:16 |
| Flazer | any idea why someone trying to boot to a live CD of lubuntu would get stuck on first loading screen - never makes it to installation/setup | 18:18 |
| Flazer | ? | 18:18 |
| holstein | Flazer: sure... hardware support | 18:19 |
| holstein | Flazer: i would try nomodeset and the apci options | 18:19 |
| bparticle | Hi! I'm trying to get my girlfriend's asus eee pc to be a little snappier with Lubuntu. Question: why is it slower from the hard drive than the live session? | 18:20 |
| rpatton | hello all | 18:20 |
| rpatton | anybody got any experience running lubuntu on a xSeries 235 Server | 18:20 |
| holstein | bparticle: configuration... the live was on USB and the install is on a spinning disc maybe.. | 18:21 |
| bparticle | The live session is perfect, impressive really. And then I installed it, and nothing, absolutely nothing advanced... :( | 18:21 |
| bparticle | I know. is there any special way to handle the hard drive? | 18:21 |
| holstein | bparticle: you can install to usb. maybe the hard drive is bad | 18:21 |
| wxl | bparticle: that's got an actual hard drive and not an ssd? | 18:22 |
| bparticle | As that's the main difference I'm looking in that direction, but I'm hardly an expert | 18:22 |
| holstein | rpatton: should be just like running on any hardware...i would probably not run any X on a server, but you can, and LXDE would be a nice choice | 18:22 |
| bparticle | I don't know really... it's the eee pc 1201ha. I should check that | 18:22 |
| holstein | bparticle: i would just check for and apply upgrades. maybe just give it some time.. | 18:22 |
| bparticle | a LOT of time, believe me! Not really an improvement to Windows 7; hehe | 18:23 |
| wxl | nope it's a hard drive | 18:23 |
| wxl | weird | 18:23 |
| wxl | sata, too. shouldn't be too slow. | 18:23 |
| holstein | bparticle: i use ubuntu's routinely on EEE's | 18:23 |
| wxl | ditto that ‡ | 18:24 |
| wxl | oops | 18:24 |
| holstein | bparticle: i dont have any issues like you are reporting.. the constant is the hard drive | 18:24 |
| bparticle | I tried the 12.10, and I heard 12.04 is a little faster, so that's my next move | 18:24 |
| holstein | bparticle: you could install to usb and test | 18:24 |
| wxl | darn i forgot the unicode for uparrow :) | 18:24 |
| === lubuntu is now known as vasilakisfil | ||
| vasilakisfil | hey in live distro its ok | 18:24 |
| holstein | bparticle: 12.10 and 12.04 are similar in speed | 18:24 |
| wxl | one question is this: how are you measuring its speed, bparticle ? | 18:24 |
| bparticle | damn | 18:24 |
| vasilakisfil | but I haven't updated it yet | 18:24 |
| holstein | bparticle: one could be noticably faster than the other depending on hardware support | 18:25 |
| wxl | 2gb of memory-- you should be blazing | 18:25 |
| bparticle | by waiting for the cursor to advance when I move the mouse | 18:25 |
| bparticle | it just sticks | 18:25 |
| wxl | bparticle: yikes | 18:25 |
| holstein | bparticle: what do i suggest? look for and apply upgrades... test the hard drive | 18:25 |
| holstein | bparticle: im on a comarable machine now.. and its not stickin.. and it doesnt stick when you are not using the hard drive | 18:25 |
| wxl | you should check resource usage. maybe you have something running and you don't realize it's hogging up resources. | 18:25 |
| holstein | comparable | 18:26 |
| wxl | i've run it on 512mb of memory and had no problems XD | 18:26 |
| holstein | nmon is a nice tool to see whats up.. i know my machine gets laggy due to the hard drive.. but not as bad as you report | 18:26 |
| rpatton | so what would u run on a server | 18:26 |
| bparticle | well, at least it all sounds hopefull | 18:27 |
| wxl | rpatton: what do you want to do with it? :) | 18:27 |
| holstein | rpatton: ubuntuserver... or minimal.. just not a desktop environment.. but LXDE is nice if you want/need X on a server | 18:27 |
| bparticle | I'm just restarting into 12.04, crossing my fingers | 18:28 |
| holstein | bparticle: i would just do a test.. should take an hour or so, then you'll know | 18:28 |
| rpatton | i dont know any cmds so i need the Graphical interface | 18:28 |
| holstein | rpatton: then, try lubuntu live, and see if it works for you | 18:28 |
| rpatton | trying that now | 18:29 |
| wxl | i'd say a lot of services that you'd use on a server only use terminal so you should probably learn the CLI… | 18:29 |
| holstein | yeah.. wont hurt to have LXDE running, but thats not what you'll be doing if you are indeed running a server | 18:30 |
| holstein | if you are using a server as a desktop machine, then go for it | 18:30 |
| rpatton | no live not working either | 18:30 |
| holstein | either way, lubuntu does what it does, and does it well | 18:30 |
| holstein | rpatton: you can try the same options i suggested above.. nomodeset, and the apci options | 18:31 |
| wxl | rpatton: what sort of machine are you using? | 18:31 |
| bparticle | @holstein how do I use nmon? | 18:31 |
| holstein | 19:20 < rpatton> anybody got any experience running lubuntu on a xSeries 235 Server | 18:32 |
| holstein | bparticle: i did 'sudo apt-get install nmon' then i typed 'nmon' and ran the monitor for what i wanted to monitor | 18:32 |
| wxl | man nmon ← :) | 18:32 |
| wxl | rpatton: what exactly is happening that it's not working? | 18:33 |
| holstein | if its a blank screen its likely some graphics driver issue that 'nomodeset' would work out | 18:33 |
| bparticle | @holstein: ok, and are there particular figures I am interested in? Or something that I can report back here, or on the forum? | 18:34 |
| wxl | i can't tell what the gpu is on that thing | 18:34 |
| wxl | bparticle: look at maybe cpu and memory usage and if anything is using a major portion of it | 18:34 |
| holstein | bparticle: i should think you are interested in wht figures relating to "why is my girlfriends computer running slow" | 18:34 |
| bparticle | great, that gets me on the way :) | 18:35 |
| holstein | bparticle: i think its fair to start with the hard drive, since the live CD is not using the hard drive, and i have literally 4 of those machines with no such issues | 18:35 |
| bparticle | but I must say, so far 12.04 looks far snappier than 12.10! | 18:35 |
| holstein | bparticle: from usb? | 18:35 |
| bparticle | no, hard drive | 18:35 |
| holstein | bparticle: could be a driver related to that hardware from 12.10 i suppose | 18:36 |
| holstein | i dont run 12.10 on anything other than for testing here and there | 18:36 |
| bparticle | of course then I still have to fix the video thing. I had to restart lightdm | 18:36 |
| holstein | what "video thing"? | 18:36 |
| bparticle | ehm. the gma500 thing | 18:37 |
| bparticle | started with a black screen | 18:37 |
| Doc_exe | i believe the technical term is thingy | 18:37 |
| bparticle | exactly | 18:37 |
| wxl | !thingy | 18:37 |
| wxl | 1037 [ubottu(ubottu@ubuntu/bot/ubottu)] Sorry, I don't know anything about thingy | 18:37 |
| Doc_exe | :) | 18:38 |
| rpatton | hello | 18:38 |
| bparticle | poulsbo driver, this netbook has a history of bad suport for its video hardware | 18:38 |
| wxl | ew | 18:39 |
| bparticle | another unrelated question. I want to use cairo dock and it's asking me if I want to enable openGl. What is the best option performance wise? | 18:39 |
| Flazer | hey patton | 18:41 |
| wxl | bparticle: http://www.sv.vt.edu/classes/ESM4714/Student_Proj/class00/hunter/V.A.html | 18:41 |
| bparticle | I'm not interested in exploding moving around icons with lots of whistles and bells, just want a nice launcher and dock, minimal but stylish | 18:41 |
| Flazer | <wxl> rpatton: what exactly is happening that it's not working? | 18:41 |
| Flazer | <holstein> if its a blank screen its likely some graphics driver issue that 'nomodeset' would work out | 18:41 |
| Flazer | that's what you missed when you timed out | 18:41 |
| holstein | bparticle: i would try other composition options.. such as not having compositing | 18:42 |
| holstein | bparticle: that is a *key* difference as well.. the live USB has no compositing.. if you enable and hack 3d support on unsupported hardware, that could also slow things down | 18:42 |
| holstein | bparticle: i would try *not* using that dock | 18:42 |
| Doc_exe | with teh gma500 did you look at this page? does this help any? | 18:43 |
| Doc_exe | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo | 18:43 |
| bparticle | I set up xcompmgr with cairo-dock in the live session and that worked brilliantly actually | 18:44 |
| holstein | bparticle: and in the install that was "slow" ? | 18:45 |
| holstein | i use xcompmrg as well, when its not crashy | 18:45 |
| bparticle | @Doc_exe: yes that helps, I found that page. thanks | 18:45 |
| wxl | holstein: speaking of compositing, have you tried that new compton ppa? | 18:45 |
| rpatton | its not loading anything | 18:45 |
| holstein | wxl: not yet... i read it over, and got distracted | 18:46 |
| rpatton | wont boot into any OS | 18:46 |
| holstein | rpatton: any os? it being what? | 18:46 |
| wxl | holstein: been kind of curious about it | 18:46 |
| bparticle | @holstein: the one that was slow, I didn't install anything, since the mouse didn't get even move properly | 18:46 |
| rpatton | xSeries 235 Servers | 18:46 |
| wxl | rpatton: are you having any drive activity? | 18:46 |
| rpatton | i got green lights on all hdds and cd dvd drives are working | 18:47 |
| rpatton | dont know how i can verify activity | 18:47 |
| wxl | rpatton: you don't have an LED to signal drive activity? that's strange. i don't think i have a computer of any kind anywhre that lacks that. | 18:48 |
| holstein | bparticle: then, im still voting on the hard drive, or a package update, or lack of that created an issue | 18:48 |
| holstein | rpatton: what do you mean, no os is booting? | 18:48 |
| holstein | rpatton: what are you trying to boot? and how? | 18:48 |
| bparticle | strangely, the 12.04 seems to work flawlessly | 18:49 |
| Doc_exe | rpatton: might want to check available ram? since it makes a ram drive when booting up? | 18:49 |
| wxl | Doc_exe: that's a good call as it seems they inheriently come with 512 if i read correctly. still i can't see why that would keep it from at least booting grub. | 18:50 |
| wxl | i've had some low-ram machines that had trouble running ubiquity, but no problems with booting into the live environment. | 18:50 |
| wxl | rpatton: does the alternate install work? | 18:50 |
| holstein | rpatton: also, if this is a machine that just showed up, you might want a diagnostic disc such as the ultimate boot cd.. run some tests | 18:50 |
| holstein | i dont know what you mean by "no os boots" but if the hardware is bad, linux wont fix it | 18:51 |
| rpatton | know where i can get a boot disk ? | 18:53 |
| holstein | rpatton: to boot what? | 18:53 |
| holstein | rpatton: i just suggested a disk that "boot".. the lubuntu iso boots as well | 18:54 |
| rpatton | two of the 4 drives have an orange light as well as the green | 18:54 |
| holstein | rpatton: i would remove the drives and test a live CD | 18:54 |
| holstein | http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ | 18:54 |
| Doc_exe | orange isn't a friend to anyone in the world of computers rpatton | 18:54 |
| holstein | usually, when i get a machine it that i know nothing about, i remove the drives and test the hardware | 18:54 |
| wxl | hahahahh Doc_exe | 18:55 |
| holstein | i test the ram, and listen to the fans and powersupply.. then i might put the drives in one at a time and test them | 18:55 |
| Doc_exe | ultimate boot cd is a nice swiss army knife of tools | 18:55 |
| holstein | i like to do that so at anytime i can force the power off and not break anything | 18:55 |
| rpatton | so remove all HDD and try to boot from cd | 18:57 |
| holstein | rpatton: no. do what makes you feel comfortable.. im just saying what i do with machines that i know nothing about | 18:57 |
| wxl | rpatton: another idea is i could trade you some functional desktop machine i have with your choice of software installed on it for that finnicky server XD | 18:57 |
| holstein | rpatton: you have a lot of variables there, and you are assuming "no os boots".. you could have bad memory, or *anything* | 18:58 |
| Doc_exe | bad burn on disk | 18:58 |
| wxl | keyboard issue | 18:58 |
| wxl | etc. | 18:58 |
| wxl | should just give it to me. | 18:59 |
| powermi | hola | 19:13 |
| powermi | need help, | 19:13 |
| powermi | just intalled Lubuntu on a powermac g4 (powerpc) | 19:15 |
| powermi | but cant boot after this | 19:15 |
| powermi | just appears a white screen like no SO installed on | 19:15 |
| rpatton | ATI MACH64 is coming up as the video controller in the config/setup utility | 19:30 |
| rpatton | with 8128kb of memory | 19:30 |
| wxl | darn powermi | 20:07 |
| wxl | always leaving | 20:07 |
| wxl | rpatton: i see a bunch of old posts talking about problems with that video controller | 20:10 |
| wxl | that may be your caveat | 20:10 |
| wxl | Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" in Xorg.conf may fix it | 20:12 |
| wxl | and here's the official bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-mach64/+bug/1077975 | 20:13 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1077975 in xserver-xorg-video-mach64 (Ubuntu) "MACH64 video driver crashes with Mach 3D Rage Pro" [Undecided,New] | 20:13 |
| rpatton | so if its a 12.10 bug will 12.04 work ? | 20:21 |
| wxl | not necessarily, but it's worth a shot | 20:22 |
| wxl | like i said there have been problems with that controller for several years now | 20:22 |
| wxl | whether or not they're show stoppers, i don't know | 20:22 |
| wxl | at the very least you can confirm that it IS broken in 12.04. | 20:22 |
| wxl | oops | 20:22 |
| wxl | 12.10 i mean | 20:22 |
| rpatton | and how can i try that fix thats listed on the bug the No accel | 20:24 |
| wxl | just follow the instructions | 20:24 |
| rpatton | i would say that its confirmed | 20:24 |
| wxl | of course if you can't boot at all, booting into rescue mode is kind of problematic :/ | 20:25 |
| wxl | that also assumes the system is installed | 20:25 |
| rpatton | ya thats what i was wondering | 20:25 |
| wxl | so you could install the system probably by alternate install | 20:26 |
| wxl | but if i were you i'd try 12.04 first | 20:26 |
| rpatton | so is there anyway to change drivers? | 20:26 |
| rpatton | wouldnt hurt | 20:26 |
| wxl | not likely that will work well :) | 20:26 |
| rpatton | thanks for the help ttyl | 20:37 |
| wxl | rpatton: good luck | 20:37 |
