| fatmandown | Can someone help me install the D-Link DWA-171 USB dongle on my new 13.04 installation? | 00:42 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | fatmandown: maybe.. do you have it plugged in? any lights on the dlink? have you used it on a machine with supported drivers before? are you certain the hardware is functioning properly? | 01:03 |
| fatmandown | holstein, it's plugged in, no lights | 01:18 |
| holstein | fatmandown: i would make certain the device works. having no lights could mean that it is broken | 01:21 |
| holstein | otherwise, plug it in, run "lspci" and "lsusb" and see if you see it.. run "ifconfig" and see it you see it | 01:22 |
| fatmandown | it's up on lsusb but not lspci | 01:23 |
| holstein | fatmandown: what is? the dlink? listed as what? where? use pastebin if you like | 01:23 |
| holstein | !paste | 01:24 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 01:24 |
| fatmandown | unfortunately I can't use pastebin because it's from a computer with no internet access | 01:24 |
| holstein | fatmandown: what is the output? the chipset? | 01:25 |
| fatmandown | lsusb just gives the USB ID and "D-Link Corp" | 01:26 |
| holstein | fatmandown: the chipset.. | 01:26 |
| holstein | for example 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) | 01:26 |
| fatmandown | lspci doesn't output anything related to the usb chip | 01:29 |
| holstein | fatmandown: with wif chipset | 01:29 |
| holstein | wifi* | 01:29 |
| holstein | fatmandown: we can google the model #, but that really is not reliable. dlink can change those under the same model number | 01:30 |
| fatmandown | realtek I believe but hold on | 01:30 |
| holstein | fatmandown: what would i do? just return it and get something that "just work".. otherwise, we can just keep digging for the chipset | 01:30 |
| fatmandown | returning it is my failsafe but i'd like to see if it'll work | 01:31 |
| fatmandown | i've tried compiling the drivers, but they hang at the make step | 01:31 |
| holstein | fatmandown: compiing what drivers? | 01:33 |
| holstein | fatmandown: you shouldnt have to compile any drivers.. they are in the kernel, typically | 01:33 |
| fatmandown | linux drivers for this particular model | 01:33 |
| holstein | fatmandown: from where? | 01:33 |
| fatmandown | http://wikidevi.com/wiki/D-Link_DWA-171_rev_A1 | 01:33 |
| holstein | you can try the windows driver with ndisgtk | 01:34 |
| fatmandown | is it worth getting ndisgtk on a USB flash drive and transferring it over manually? | 01:35 |
| holstein | fatmandown: personally, as i said, i would return it.. | 01:36 |
| holstein | fatmandown: they should just work | 01:36 |
| fatmandown | it's a somewhat older desktop | 01:36 |
| holstein | fatmandown: doesnt matter.. the drivers are just baked into the kernel for most devices like that | 01:37 |
| holstein | either you have faulty hardware ( the dlink, motherboard, or usb) or a lack of driver support | 01:37 |
| fatmandown | most of the ones they sell at microcenter/bestbuy probably aren't linux-compatible | 01:37 |
| fatmandown | damnit | 01:37 |
| holstein | fatmandown: nothing typically says "linux compatible" on the box, but, most dongles are plug and play now | 01:38 |
| fatmandown | sonovabitch. I guess I'll go back tomorrow | 01:40 |

| DevZero | can anyone tell me if this card would be compatible with a dell dimension 2400? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130773 | 04:48 |
| DevZero | the dell specs are on or around pg. 28 of the manual: ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_dimension_desktops/dimension-2400_service%20manual_en-us.pdf | 04:49 |
| DevZero | i'm not overly knowledgeable on hardware specs so any help would be appreciated | 04:49 |
| Noskcaj10 | DevZero, one moment | 05:01 |
| DevZero | Noskcaj10: thank you | 05:02 |
| Noskcaj10 | DevZero, It should work, it's PCI | 05:03 |
| Noskcaj10 | Why do you need it? | 05:03 |
| DevZero | i'm giving the computer to an older person who just surfs a few websites and watches the occasional youtube video...checks e-mail, etc. the onboard graphics chip has always be buggy under linux...X problems...flash looks horrible...the devs don't care to fix these problems...simply easier to stick a card in there and forget about it | 05:05 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Is the onboard a VIA? | 05:12 |
| DevZero | Poisoned_Dragon: not sure what you mean | 05:12 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Does VIA make the video chip on the motherboard. | 05:13 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Because Via chips like Unichrome are pretty crappy. | 05:13 |
| DevZero | no it's intel 845G | 05:13 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Even in windows | 05:13 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Oh.... It's just that old. :( | 05:13 |
| DevZero | yeah...very old | 05:14 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | 845s seem to be having alot of problems, lately | 05:14 |
| DevZero | but apart from the graphics chip linux likes everything else and it's still peppy | 05:14 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | So, you're trying to use Xubuntu on it? | 05:14 |
| DevZero | it will be perfect for this other person once the graphics problem is handled | 05:15 |
| DevZero | haven't decided...xubuntu or something similar | 05:15 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | If so, you could try making sure that composting is disabled. | 05:15 |
| DevZero | yeah, i probably will | 05:15 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Intel 845s are terrible at composting effects, like shadows and transparency. | 05:15 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Worst case scenario, there's always Lubuntu. | 05:16 |
| DevZero | well i'm not going to stay with the onboard chipset, that's why i was asking about the card in the link above | 05:16 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Can't get more bare bones than that, unless you live in the terminal | 05:16 |
| DevZero | Poisoned_Dragon: what about peppermint? | 05:16 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I wasn't here for the link | 05:16 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | What DE does peppermint use? | 05:17 |
| DevZero | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130773 | 05:17 |
| DevZero | lxde | 05:17 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I would stay away from Gnome, KDE, and Cinnamon | 05:17 |
| DevZero | agreed | 05:17 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Well, if peppermint has that, and has a good out of box experience, give it a try. | 05:17 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I personally am not a fan of lxde as a casual use DE. But, it's great for a workhorse or server pc. | 05:18 |
| DevZero | yeah...i liked their website and it seems a good fit for the person i'd be giving the computer too...like "here, just click this icon for internet and check your gmail and watch a youtube video" lol | 05:18 |
| DevZero | yeah lxde is nothing special, but for simple, special use purposes like this, it works | 05:19 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | It honestly amazes me what chips are still being made in the pci/agp interface. | 05:20 |
| DevZero | running cairo dock without gl on even works...then i can kill that boring lxde panel | 05:20 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | A geforce 6 can handle a pretty DE just fine. | 05:20 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I use Plank | 05:20 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Docky seems cool too. | 05:20 |
| DevZero | i'll have to look into those | 05:20 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Hell, A GeForce6 is win7 compatible. So. it'll work wonders on any linux DE. | 05:21 |
| goldleaf | hello! I've got a mouse size/theme problem - the size/theme changes, depending on what program it's hovering over. | 05:21 |
| DevZero | yeah...i think i'm sold on it | 05:21 |
| DevZero | thanks for your advice | 05:22 |
| goldleaf | Google has shown many people with the problem, and some solutions, but none are working so far. Anyone here seen this, and have a solution, by chance? thanks! | 05:22 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | whoa, it's ony 22 dollars?! Not bad if you want to resurrect something. | 05:22 |
| DevZero | i know...you can't really beat that price | 05:22 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Could you imagine a P4 with that card? lol | 05:22 |
| DevZero | yeah | 05:23 |

| MtDewFella | I gots a problem with xubuntu 13.10 after an update I did | 12:43 |
| MtDewFella | it's small but that cool new wallpaper that came with the new release has disappeared and I can't seam to get it back | 12:44 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | disappeared? | 12:45 |
| xperement | search xubuntu-wallpaper.prg | 12:45 |
| MtDewFella | yup replaced by a grey background, | 12:45 |
| MtDewFella | search google or the file system? | 12:46 |
| xperement | file system | 12:46 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | did you right click the desktop and select Desktop Settings, to see if the pic shows up in the backdrop list? | 12:46 |
| MtDewFella | yes first thing I tried | 12:46 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | What was the background? | 12:47 |
| MtDewFella | the search app brought back no files found | 12:47 |
| bosnjak | what manages mounting of my partitions? Some of them are not in fstab but i see them in Thunar, and when i click them, they mount.... What is doing this exactly? | 12:47 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | gvfs-mount | 12:48 |
| MtDewFella | it was the new blue wall paper that came with xubuntu 13.10 the one will little square patterns towards the bottom | 12:48 |
| MtDewFella | better question does anyone know where the system wallpapers are stored? | 12:49 |
| baizon | MtDewFella: http://docs.xubuntu.org/1304/guide-desktop.html | 12:49 |
| bosnjak | Poisoned_Dragon: how do i mount a partition under a different name? | 12:49 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops | 12:50 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | A different name? | 12:50 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Please elaborate. | 12:50 |
| MtDewFella | thanks that did it | 12:52 |
| bosnjak | Poisoned_Dragon: the label of the partition is "Data" but its location mount is: /media/user/35395d04-4025-4db3-9449-eed1fafa4a9f/ -> how do i change this to something more human friendly? | 12:52 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Is that the UUID? | 12:53 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | My drives don't mount with the UUID as the name. How strange. | 12:53 |
| bosnjak | Poisoned_Dragon: yes, that seems to be uuid | 12:55 |
| bosnjak | Poisoned_Dragon: i am confused now with gvfs-mount vs mount vs fstab | 12:55 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Well, gvfs-mount is actually stupid simple. It does the heavy work for you, in regards to making folders and mounting drives to them. | 12:56 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | So, if you wanted to mount a usb drive that you just attached you would type: gvfs-mount -d /dev/sdc1 | 12:57 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | -d tells it to mount by device, sdc1 is the first partition of the usb. | 12:57 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | It'll make the folder in /media/user and mount it. | 12:57 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Usually by name of the volume. But, it's using the UUID as if the label doesn't exist. | 12:58 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | If you want to unmount it's: gvfs-mount -u /media/user/mounted_folder. | 12:59 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Poof! the volume is unmounted | 12:59 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | It's so awesome. :) | 12:59 |
| DJJeff | I setup public/private key auth on my SSH server | 12:59 |
| DJJeff | how do I use Thunar to connect? | 12:59 |
| baizon | DJJeff: http://askubuntu.com/questions/70423/how-do-i-connect-to-a-server-with-thunar-in-xubuntu | 13:00 |
| bosnjak | Poisoned_Dragon: thanks for the explanation | 13:00 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | np, point is, that's what thunar is doing. | 13:01 |
| DJJeff | baizon, that does not work I am not using password auth on my SSH | 13:01 |
| tcsorrel | hello, | 13:01 |
| bosnjak | Poisoned_Dragon: i see, thats why it automatically shows my partition in the Devices section on the left | 13:01 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Maybe you should relabel it while it's mounted. Then the label might take | 13:01 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Oh wait... | 13:01 |
| tcsorrel | I am facing an issue when launching sypder | 13:01 |
| tcsorrel | spyder | 13:02 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Not while it's mounted.... I use gparted to unmount and alter labels. | 13:02 |
| bosnjak | Poisoned_Dragon: I have created a label but it didn't change anything until i unmount/mount again. Now the folders are named by the labels | 13:02 |
| bosnjak | Poisoned_Dragon: yes, it shouldn't be done while mounter | 13:02 |
| tcsorrel | anybody tried to launch Spyder on xubuntu13.10 ? | 13:02 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | So, everything good now, bosnjak? | 13:03 |
| bosnjak | Poisoned_Dragon: yes :) thank you for quick and clear clarification :) | 13:03 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | No problem | 13:04 |
| DJJeff | when is PULSEAUDIO gonna be fixed for skype in ubuntu | 13:06 |
| DJJeff | typing $ PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 skype | 13:06 |
| cfhowlett | DJJeff, no deadline has been stated | 13:06 |
| DJJeff | is getting lame | 13:06 |
| knome | DJJeff, patches are welcome | 13:07 |
| DJJeff | screw patches lol | 13:08 |
| knome | DJJeff, ok, first, watch your language, and second, getting lame you're not sending a patch | 13:08 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I have no probs with skype and pulse audio | 13:08 |
| DJJeff | it worked just fine before pulseaudio updated | 13:08 |
| DJJeff | after pulseaudio updated had todo $ PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 skype | 13:09 |
| DJJeff | Poisoned_Dragon, you are of the lucky few | 13:09 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | No, I used a fix | 13:09 |
| DJJeff | why did you use a fix | 13:10 |
| DJJeff | upload your fix to the upstream | 13:10 |
| DJJeff | so we can all be fixed | 13:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Edit /etc/pulse/default.pa using your favorite text editor | 13:10 |
| cfhowlett | Poisoned_Dragon, so logical! | 13:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | At the end of this line "load-module module-udev-detect use_ucm=0" add "tsched=0" | 13:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | then reboot | 13:11 |
| DJJeff | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype | 13:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Or, if you're savvy, restart alsa | 13:11 |
| DJJeff | add the fix to the repo | 13:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I would just reboot | 13:11 |
| knome | DJJeff, please. | 13:11 |
| knome | DJJeff, if it's so important to you, why don't you do that yourself? | 13:12 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Even if it was something to add, it's not skype's fault. | 13:12 |
| DJJeff | cause it will break each time pulseaudio is updated | 13:12 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | It was pulseaudio writing over default.pa | 13:12 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Just add tsched=0 back to it | 13:12 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | That's what I did after upgrading 13.04 to 13.10. | 13:13 |
| DJJeff | after microsoft bought skype | 13:17 |
| DJJeff | it turned to crap anyways | 13:18 |
| knome | DJJeff, last warning; watch the attitude. | 13:18 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Then, don't use skype. :P | 13:18 |
| cfhowlett | !skype|DJJeff, | 13:18 |
| ubottu | DJJeff,: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 13:18 |
| cfhowlett | DJJeff, for real. use it, don't use, use an alternative. rants/complaints are not the goal here. | 13:19 |
| DJJeff | if skype is not broken its pulseaudio fault if pulseaudio is not broken its skype fault | 13:19 |
| DJJeff | they cant make up their mind | 13:19 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Hell, you don't even need the skype client if you have a Live/Hotmail/Outlook account. | 13:19 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Outlook.com integrated skype contacts. | 13:20 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | You can even make skype calls. | 13:20 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | All in your browser | 13:20 |
| DJJeff | Poisoned_Dragon, you must work for microsoft | 13:20 |
| DJJeff | if you <3 it so much | 13:20 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | No, I just do't come here and complain about things I don't fully understand. :P | 13:20 |
| cfhowlett | DJJeff, ok now you're just being petulant. Do you have an actual support question? if not: #ubuntu-offtopic. Please. | 13:21 |
| DJJeff | getting mixed messages from both pulseaudio and skype | 13:21 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Ooo...Petulant is a nifty word | 13:22 |
| cfhowlett | :) thesaurus is not a dinosaur ... | 13:22 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | tee hee | 13:22 |
| knome | hmph, | 13:25 |
| koegs | oh boy and i thought, i would become an op :D | 13:26 |

| cfhowlett | I wouldn't have the patience. My inner Samuel L. Jackson is only JUST restrained as it is. | 13:27 |
| juken | For some reason my laptop (plugged into my monitor over HDMI) has the monitor set as the default audio output. How can I go about disabling the HDMI audio completely and having the laptop speakers be the default audio? | 13:31 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | You shouln't need to disable hdmi. Just select the onboard sound as the default, in the pulse audio mixer. | 13:32 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | click on the speaker icon, then "Sound Settings" | 13:33 |
| juken | Yep, I'm in Volume Control. Just looking for how to make it the primary. | 13:33 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Click on the check mark next to the sound device you want to use | 13:34 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Under the tab, "Output Devices" | 13:34 |
| juken | Yep, I have it checked on the speakers... But I don't hear audio. | 13:35 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | is it muted? | 13:35 |
| juken | Nope, let me screenshot it | 13:35 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | cool | 13:36 |
| juken | Sounds like audio works in some places, but it's not working within Chrome | 13:36 |
| GridCube | juken, while you play a stream, you go to pavucontrol and choose to wich output you want that particular stream to go | 13:37 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | close and reload chrome. for fun and profit | 13:37 |
| juken | Poisoned_Dragon: tried that :) | 13:37 |
| juken | GridCube: I'll try | 13:37 |
| juken | GridCube: that did it | 13:38 |
| GridCube | you can choose to have different programs at the same time one streaming sound to hdmi and th other to analog | 13:38 |
| juken | Thanks guys | 13:38 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | no prob | 13:38 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Thanks, GridCube. | 13:38 |
| GridCube | :) | 13:38 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I actually didn't know that, myself. I thought it would just migrate on it's own. | 13:38 |
| GridCube | no | 13:38 |
| GridCube | it shouldnt | 13:39 |

| mikodo | Hey Everyone. Any news on Xubuntu 14.04? Are the plans for it to be on XMir? How long will LTS be? 3 Years again? ... Thanks. | 19:04 |
| TheSheep | !lts | mikodo | 19:04 |
| ubottu | mikodo: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Xubuntu will be supported for 3 years. The current LTS version is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 19:04 |
| mikodo | TheSheep, Thanks. I was hoping to see LTS increased to 5 years. Oh, well. | 19:05 |
| TheSheep | mikodo: this is the user support channel, and we are mostly just users helping each other, try #xubuntu-dev if you want to talk about development of xubuntu | 19:06 |
| mikodo | TheSheep, I'm back. Thanks for the tips. | 19:09 |
| volsus | hey | 19:15 |
| mikodo | Ahh! It's #xubuntu-devel | 19:19 |
| volsus | is it? | 19:20 |
| volsus | looks rather like #xubuntu | 19:20 |
| mikodo | volsus, hey | 19:21 |
| volsus | hey | 19:21 |
| volsus | what's ^? | 19:22 |
| elfy | volsus: another channel - the development one | 19:24 |
| volsus | yeah, I know, guess I miss'd part of the convo | 19:25 |
| volsus | -_-- | 19:25 |
| TheSheep | mikodo: ah, sorry | 19:26 |
| volsus | where should I look in the documentation to fix the following problem: when I upgraded to the new version of X(ubuntu) I lost my ability to adjust the volume on the top bar, and now I've lost the ability to adjust it with hotkeys (fn + f10 thry f12 on my netbook). Ideas? :> | 19:36 |
| dro | hi everybody | 20:06 |
| volsus | hey dro | 20:09 |
| volsus | guten tag | 20:09 |
| dro | I come here today because something strange happened with xfce-themes-manager, I think this program is not really compatible with xubuntu 13.10. I just tried to change the theme, and a lot of errors poped up. Now, my main screen (of my dual screen set) have a strange color, but only the wallpaper.Everything else works fine! | 20:09 |
| dro | guten tag | 20:09 |
| dro | but i'm french actualy :) | 20:09 |
| volsus | salut | 20:09 |
| dro | salut ! | 20:09 |
| volsus | I am a complete newbie, trying to learn things and fix problems here myself | 20:09 |
| dro | I tried too, but now, i'm afraid to do more shit :/ | 20:10 |
| volsus | so I can't offer any suggestions myself unfortunate; desolee mon ami | 20:10 |
| dro | aucun probeme, merci quand même / no problem, thanks anyway ! | 20:10 |
| volsus | though maybe someone will come along who can help you | 20:10 |
| volsus | a lot of Americans are at work | 20:10 |
| dro | I hope so! And maybe someone can simply help me to restore my default theme easily ? | 20:11 |
| dro | volsus, yeah, you're right... | 20:11 |
| volsus | as an aside, I can't wait to visit France next year | 20:12 |
| dro | I left france for germany, but france is a great country, al least it's beautifu there | 20:12 |
| dro | where are u from ? | 20:12 |
| volsus | might be a discussion more appropriate for #xubuntu-offtopic though | 20:12 |

| Makdaam | hello | 20:36 |
| KeyboardNotFound | My xubuntu after upgrading is not ok, i can't listen youtube, but i can listen skype, every time when i start chrome i have message to choose default browser | 20:37 |
| KeyboardNotFound | every time when start skype i need to accept the agrements | 20:37 |
| KeyboardNotFound | ... | 20:37 |
| KeyboardNotFound | please me | 20:38 |
| KeyboardNotFound | help me* | 20:38 |
| TheSheep | KeyboardNotFound: did you maybe run out of disk space for your home directory? | 20:44 |
| Makdaam | hmm, I'm constantly getting a checksum verification failure on grub-efi-amd64-signed1.9 on the alternate isos of 12.04 I'm downloading | 21:13 |
| Makdaam | is there a known problem with that? | 21:13 |
| haven | hi, i just clean installed 13.10 ubuntu studio but have problem with internet going out on me after anywhere between 5 minutes and 2 hours. I don't have this problem with Win7, which is a dual boot on the same laptop. I updated everything, so what else should I check to get to the bottom of my connection problem. | 21:14 |
| haven | internet still shows as connected, but neither Firefox nor Thunderbird connect. | 21:14 |
| haven | I did a dmesg, but don't know how to read the output. | 21:14 |
| Makdaam | haven: open a console and do "ping www.xubuntu.org" | 21:15 |
| haven | doing that right now. just as an fyi, I have ubuntu studio , which uses the xfce desktop. | 21:17 |
| Makdaam | that shouldn't affect anything we do | 21:17 |
| haven | do you want me to cut and paste the printout? | 21:17 |
| Makdaam | just tell me if you get results with time=123 at the end | 21:18 |
| Makdaam | or Host unreachable | 21:18 |
| Makdaam | or some kind of other output | 21:18 |
| Unit193 | Pinging xubuntu.org won't help if it's a DNS issue, though. :/ | 21:19 |
| Makdaam | it will show us if it resolves the IP | 21:19 |
| haven | it's still continuing with lines usually alternating with time=111 or time=112 or something similar at the end. | 21:20 |
| Makdaam | ok | 21:20 |
| Makdaam | Ctrl+c to stop it | 21:21 |
| haven | done. | 21:21 |
| Makdaam | hmm | 21:21 |
| Makdaam | any mozilla experts? | 21:21 |
| Makdaam | haven: your network seems to be working fine, but your browser/mail client may have some kind of proxies configured | 21:22 |
| Makdaam | or something else misconfigured | 21:22 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| Makdaam | or we might have been lucky if it goes out at times | 21:22 |
| TheSheep | Makdaam: or he's not having that problem right now | 21:23 |
| Makdaam | yup | 21:23 |
| TheSheep | right | 21:23 |
| Makdaam | haven: run the ping command | 21:23 |
| haven | just plain ping? | 21:23 |
| Makdaam | and check what happens with it when your internet connection breaks | 21:23 |
| Makdaam | ping www.ubuntu.com | 21:24 |
| haven | looks like I'm getting the same thing. | 21:24 |
| TheSheep | Makdaam: no bugs reported about grub-efi-amd64-signed1.9 | 21:24 |
| haven | if firefox or tbird go down, theoretically xchat should still work if the problem is a mozilla problem, right? | 21:25 |
| Makdaam | i think there might be something wrong with the checksums on the newest 12.04 alternate... other than the integrity check it all works | 21:25 |
| Makdaam | haven: it might | 21:25 |
| TheSheep | Makdaam: well, report an issue then | 21:26 |
| Makdaam | TheSheep: let me finish the installation first :P | 21:26 |
| TheSheep | Makdaam: no, report it now, quickly, before it's too late! ;) | 21:26 |
| Makdaam | ok, is there a commandline tool to report problems with Xubuntu? | 21:27 |
| TheSheep | sure! | 21:27 |
| Makdaam | because the website looks terrible in w3m | 21:27 |
| TheSheep | !bugs | 21:27 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 21:27 |
| Makdaam | apport... nope, I'll wait | 21:29 |
| Makdaam | and the install failed :) | 21:29 |
| Makdaam | so the integrity check is fine | 21:29 |
| Makdaam | !mirrors | 21:34 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Saucy, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 21:34 |
| Makdaam | TheSheep: where can I find archival releases? like 12.04 instead of 12.04.3? | 21:35 |
| TheSheep | Makdaam: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ | 21:36 |
| Makdaam | nope | 21:36 |
| Makdaam | that's a symlink to 12.04.3 | 21:36 |
| TheSheep | then I have no idea | 21:37 |
| TheSheep | wait | 21:37 |
| TheSheep | there is a link right there | 21:37 |
| TheSheep | "unsupported ubuntu images" | 21:37 |
| TheSheep | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ | 21:37 |
| Makdaam | http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/xubuntu/releases/12.04.0/release/ looks ok too :) | 21:37 |
| TheSheep | see, a little reading can get you a long way! | 21:38 |
| Makdaam | googling | 21:39 |
| Makdaam | tl;dr just googled it :) | 21:39 |
| TheSheep | the link is right there, seriously | 21:40 |
| Makdaam | only if you read text above the file listing :) | 21:46 |
| Makdaam | not if you click on 12.04 right away because you've been downloading invalid images for the last 2hours from various mirrors | 21:46 |
| haven | okay, my browser has gone down. are my messages still coming through here? | 22:28 |
| bekks | Yes. | 22:28 |
| havenonearth | okay, now it looks like I was disconnected and reconnected on IRC. Are my messages still coming through? | 22:36 |
| haven | Okay, I was disconnected for a while and then reconnected on IRC. Are my messages still coming through? | 22:37 |
| bekks | haven: You have been reconnected. | 22:38 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | We see you haven. You can stop having two nicks now. | 22:41 |

| sisterFister | I just installed xubuntu. When I boot it shows the xubuntu logo screen, but then goes to black screen command line. Anyone know what's going on ? | 23:46 |
| bekks | !nomodeset | sisterFister | 23:47 |
| ubottu | sisterFister: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 23:47 |

| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 23:48 |
