It doesn't boot grub. [04:32] !grub | neonkidxy i would just recover grub and try again [04:32] neonkidxy i would just recover grub and try again: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [04:33] dualboot windows and same hd is bad idea [04:33] !dualboot [04:33] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [04:33] heoyea: it'll work fine ^^ === moetuned is now known as moetunes [04:37] So recovering grub will make it the master boot loader? [04:38] Because right now it's just booting straight into windows === emma_ is now known as em [04:39] neonkidxy: try recovering grub if you want grub to replace the MBR [04:41] lol [04:54] Okay so I'm recovering grub right now, which partition do I install it to? The windows side or the xubuntu side? [04:54] neonkidxy: i install grub on the hard drive.. [04:56] sda [04:56] It installed it originally to sda 7 [04:56] I moved it to sda [04:56] neonkidxy: grub will replace the mbr.. then allow you to boot both windows and linux.. .right now, it seems you still have the windows bootloader in the way [04:57] if u put it on sda7 it only works on that parition thats why ur windows boots up windows only [04:58] Good to know, that may be a bug in your guy's installer [04:58] well is called advance mode [04:58] so u should know what u were doing [04:59] I really should have used advanced mode, I didn't this time because I figured that you had streamilined it. [04:59] neonkidxy: the installer will let you insatll grub where ever you like.. even somewhere that it wont work [04:59] Or they not trying to put blame [04:59] Well thank you I'm going down for a restart.

I set up time in the top panel, but it is off one hour back. How can I fix it? [16:38] Hi! [16:38] hey [16:39] xubuntu476 : xfce menu -> system -> time and date [16:39] xfce menu is top left corner [16:40] o.k. I'll try [16:41] can somebody help with instalation xubuntu 12.04? Problem that this distr doesn''t see network cards on my laptop [16:42] atheros 8165 and realtek rtl8188ce [16:42] Awesome! It worked! Thank you so much. I fixed an old broken down Windows Vista with Xubuntu 12.04 download and am so pleased with it! [16:47] i tried to update kernels on just installed xubuntu. and all i got that on kernel 3.4+ wifi card was detected and connection was establi [16:48] established but it doesn't work properly, packets was not going. [16:57] What's the difference between xfce session and xubuntu session - am new to linux. [16:58] xubuntu428: the initial layout of panels [16:58] xubuntu428: in xubuntu session, they are like the old ubuntu -- small panel at the top and bottom [16:58] xubuntu428: in xfce session, they are the xfce defaults [16:59] xubuntu428: you can always change them anyways [17:00] When I set up Xubuntu session, xfce session followed suit it looks like. I see no difference. Is one better than the other? [17:01] xubuntu428: the choice only works on the first login [17:01] xubuntu428: then you can customize it anyways [17:01] Can you make one different than the other? I mean, can I have different desktop pictures for each one? [17:01] xubuntu428: some people prefer one, others the other [17:02] is there a difference in how it runs in cpu? [17:02] xubuntu428: they only differ in what defaults are taken on the first login, later on it uses your custom settings anyways [17:02] I don't think so [17:04] so, after I custum set xubuntu session, the xfce session does the same? Why would one want to choose between one or the other? I guess only at the beginning when you set it up is when the two are different, right? [17:07] TheSheep, where gone my wireless connection ? http://imgbox.com/adoLWVJO [17:08] xubuntu428: before that there was only the xubuntu session, but many people coming from other distributions wanted to have the xfce default instead [17:08] My router is broadcasting the BSSID but xubuntu doesn't listed it when I click onto the networkorking app [17:09] FRO5T: what does ifconfig -a show? [17:09] FRO5T: only lo or your network device too? [17:09] everything is normal there [17:09] wlan0, lo are fine [17:09] ok [17:09] got assigned ips [17:10] lo on localhost and wlan0 to 192.168.10.4 [17:10] oh, I see... If I have the same time, weather, and desk top picture the same, what else is different with the default in xfce session than in xubuntu session [17:10] whatever I don't change? [17:11] I don't know what the difference is [17:11] ew fixed it, had to click "disable networking" and then waited few seconds until I enable the networking. That's bug in xubuntu [17:11] xubuntu428: after the first login there is no difference [17:12] xubuntu428: if you really want to see the difference, you can create a new user and try the other session on that account [17:12] o.k. you mean the very first? sorry I'm new at this [17:12] Ya, how DO you do that? [17:12] !user [17:13] what do you mean !user? [17:13] oh dear [17:13] hmm, ubottu is dead?

Thank you! [17:22] hi [17:25] can somebody help with instalation xubuntu 12.04? Problem that this distr doesn't see network cards on my laptop [17:25] atheros 8165 and realtek rtl8188ce [17:25] no networks ? [17:26] i tried to update kernels on just installed xubuntu. and all i got that on kernel 3.4+ wifi card was detected and connection was established but it doesn't work properly, packets was not going. [17:26] I mean you can't see any wireless network ? [17:26] Frost, yes no networks at all wired and wireless [17:27] Untick Enable Networking and wait 5~10 seconds then tick it back to Enable Networking , it should work because same thing happens to me few minutes ago [17:28] http://imgbox.com/adoLWVJO image what happens to me few minutes ago , connection estabilished but can't see my broadcasted network e.g bssid [17:29] to Frost is any way to prepare distributiv with updated kernel? [17:30] never tried [17:31] hmm :( [17:31] and last question in 12.04.2 - default kernel 3.5? [17:32] 3.2.0-39 [17:33] oh :( [17:33] hmm, on my 12.04 it's 3.5.0 [17:33] ah [17:33] sorry [17:33] it's 12.10 [17:33] :D [17:33] sorry [17:33] that's problem looks like support for my hardware appear in 3.4+ [17:34] then you should try 12.10 as thesheep mention the kernel number [17:34] xome_: well, install 12.10 then? [17:34] problem with repo [17:34] for example, Ubuntu tweak see only 5 repos :( [17:35] you can always add repos [17:35] by hands only? [17:36] yup [17:36] no my bad , take a look [17:36] http://linux.about.com/od/xubuntu_doc/a/xubudg13t05.htm [17:37] ok try it. [17:37] thanks anyway : [17:37] ;] [17:42] hi, where can I find the xfce-power-manager-settings configuration file? or how can I disable HDD spindown in 12.10? [17:44] Makdaam: just use xfce4-settings-editor [17:44] Makdaam: everything in one place [17:45] Makdaam: the files are as usual all in ~/.config/xfce4 [17:45] ScreenSaver->Mode: Disable Screen Saver [17:46] oh power settings, lol [17:46] read screen settings [17:47] there is also a huge icon in the settings manager [17:47] hard to miss, really [17:47] a gigantic power plug with "power manager" written next to it [17:47] Power Manager-> On AC and drag to Never [17:48] FRO5T: he just wants to uncheck "spin down disks" [17:48] it's there where I mentioned , below on ac is "untick or tick" spin down hdd [17:48] yup [17:48] Makdaam: found it? [17:49] seems i will have to make an snapshot tutorial.. [17:49] a snapshot? [17:49] but the "spin down hard disks" option is grayed out :/ [17:49] Makdaam: LIES [17:49] TheSheep: I found the file, now I'll have to search for the file format [17:49] Makdaam: xml [17:49] ... [17:50] do you happen to have an XSD to validate it? [17:50] Makdaam: you can use the editor, as I suggested [17:50] Makdaam: the editor has [17:50] Frost but your karma is getting better and better! :) [17:50] Makdaam: did you, by any chance, disable power management on your laptop? [17:51] Makdaam: because that could be one reason why it's grayed out [17:51] I don't recall doing so after the reinstall [17:51] also, I don't think changing anything in the file will help when it's grayed out anyways [17:51] :/ [17:52] check the screen saver settings to Untick the Cycle after.. [17:52] and see the Advanced tab to uncheck the power management boxes too [17:53] FRO5T: autoscreen saver was disabled and the power management was off too [17:53] Makdaam: maybe you don't have hdparm installed? [17:54] it's here [17:55] Hi all. I'm using Ubuntu 12.10. How can I (using the command line) uninstall Ubuntu graphical interface and use xfce? [17:55] Makdaam http://hd-idle.sourceforge.net/ [17:56] Got it.. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu [17:57] sdparm,hdparm..
