darkstar-oh hello06:10
Unit193Howdy.06:10
darkstar-hey Unit193 , i'm 1st time here06:11
darkstar-need probably some help to install xubuntu on a special machine06:12
Unit193Can't help until we know the problem.06:12
darkstar-guessed something like that. ;)06:12
darkstar-its a thinpc with via chip, 1 gig ram, 2 gig flash "hdd". tried install with alternate cd. but ran into some probs06:13
darkstar-link  to pc: http://www.tangent.com/business/thin-clients/thin16006:13
ethermonkwhat where the problems?06:13
darkstar-was a xp embedded machine before06:14
ethermonkwere*06:14
darkstar-no cd drive, thatswhy install with USB stick.06:14
darkstar-but the thing searched for a cd drive and was very slow...06:14
darkstar-after 1st bootup, blackscreen06:14
darkstar-install was like 2 or 3 hours before...06:15
darkstar-could it be a prob with the via chip?06:15
darkstar-heard there might be some probs06:15
Unit193I thought there were problems with via, but I'd say to try nomodeset.06:15
ethermonkyes. set nomodeset as boot option on install disk06:16
darkstar-Unit193: just some more info to nomodeset?06:16
darkstar-ohh okay.06:16
Unit193!nomodeset06:16
ubottuA 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 parameter06:16
ethermonkthe boot splash is not showing, and depending on the setup, it could take as long as 20 minutes for it to boot06:17
Unit193And, wasn't there an alternate install method or option for thinpc type devices..06:17
darkstar-Unit193: i tried the alternate cd, cause with the desktop cd you need 4,5gig hdd. with alternate 2gig is enough06:17
Unit193!ltsp06:17
ubottuLTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project06:17
ethermonkthats what i need06:18
Unit193That's what I was thinking, though likely for some other reason. :P06:18
darkstar-could it also be a prob with non-PAE capable hardware?06:21
darkstar-like http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-to-install-ubuntu-1204-on-non-pae.html ?06:21
darkstar-not sure if the install would already fail, or just 1st startup06:21
darkstar-one sec.06:22
darkstar-okay, there is a Via C7 cpu installed. as far as i know the cpu is supported by xubuntu 12.04 lts " all VIA C7 processors (Esther cores) are compatible". the prob starts when the hardware check begins and the search for the cd-drive06:45
darkstar-it becomes very slow and results in black screen after bootup.06:46
darkstar-i'm sure it should work somehow, guess you have just to set up a special parameter...06:46
ethermonkyes07:04
ethermonkit does07:04
ethermonkand it could stay like that for up to 20 minutes while its booting. how much time are you giving it before you give up and force it off?07:04
ethermonkit's not exactly the words fastest hardware, and your running it from a very slow, unidirectional bus (The USB)07:06
ethermonkand if it takes 20 minutes to boot, you can expect the install to take between 45 minutes and 4 hours07:09
Unit193That's a looong time.  Remove  quiet splash  from the boot prompt to see what's going on though.07:10
Psil0Cybinhey guys when I go to power management, and try and change my screen to dim on idle when on battery, I get a crash and it does not actually change or dim the light when I do not move the mouse for 12 + seconds (to test it out) anything I can do to attempt a fix..07:18
ethermonki still dont ever get to see anything during the boot process.  installed linuxlogo and i dont get to see it  >_<07:18
ethermonkwhich ubuntu?07:19
Psil0CybinXubuntu07:21
ethermonk12.04? 13.10?07:21
Psil0Cybin12.0407:21
Psil0CybinI think it may be a driver issue, yet everything works perfectly fine.07:22
Psil0CybinI recently changed in this "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux" in grub07:22
Psil0Cybinin order to get the backlight to turn on by default for boot, but the dimmer, usually works with keys thus i am confused why an auto dim would cause a crash and not work07:22
ethermonktry disabling ACPI07:23
Psil0Cybinacpi is what gave me the backlight after boot07:23
ethermonkand lapic07:23
Psil0Cybinwithout it my screen is black after the default xubuntu screen07:23
Psil0Cybinand i have to manually hit the backlight key07:23
Psil0Cybinwhich is odd, so i want to keep acpi for now07:23
ethermonki wish my laptop did that07:23
Psil0CybinI guess i can live without the auto dim, but i would like it07:24
Psil0Cybinto save battery time :D07:24

ethermonki havent seen 12.04 have power issues07:26
ethermonktry posting a message in the forums if you dont get a quick responce here or in #ubuntu07:26
darkstar-one hint: disable ACPI in bios was the reason why install was so slow07:32
darkstar-so uncheck ACPI support.07:32
darkstar-thanks for all the help, i will come back later07:33
ethermonki will try that next time07:33

ezrhinohello. Can someone please tell me the command to dl xubuntu ?09:11
elfyezrhino: what are you trying to do here? get the iso or install xubuntu in another *buntu?09:17
elfyhttp://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/09:18
elfyor sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop from within another *buntu09:19
ezrhinoty09:19
ezrhinoi thought the easy was was to just sudo command install it, then logout and back in09:19
ezrhinoyes with regular ubuntu09:20
elfyyea - though bear in mind you will have applications from both xubuntu and ubuntu09:20
elfyand when you login you need to choose xubuntu rather than ubuntu09:20
ezrhinowill it use more resources? i kinda already setup the duel boot09:20
elfyit will use more disk space09:20
ezrhinoidont care09:20
elfyshould be fine09:20
ezrhinothank you very much09:21
ezrhinois this the correct command to install 32bt librayrs sudo apt-get install ia32-libs?09:21
ezrhinoyep worked09:22
ezrhinobe wel09:22
xubuntu569Hi I am looking for some new laptops/netbooks compatible with xubuntu...any ideas?. spoke to novotec and it isnt 'supported'...im not technical so this doesnt help!09:36
elfyxubuntu569: I buy from novatech - never had much problems - however you might want to have a look http://forum.novatech.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?53-Linux09:46
xubuntu569thanks elfy will take a look09:48
elfywelcome09:48
kaffeebohnexubuntu569: anything with intel cpu and intel gpu should be good supported, if it is not the newest hardware. I'd recommend a laptop of lenovos 'thinkpad' line, I have a T420 and there are no problems with linux based system. Don't buy new with an nvidia graphics, you'll run into trubles with the switchable graphics.10:02
xubuntu569Thanks for the heads up kaffeebohne10:28
baizonkaffeebohne: havent you read the latest news?10:28
kaffeebohneThat would be baizon?10:29
baizonkaffeebohne: http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1tymc4/lenovo_thinkpad_t540p_bricked_booting_linux/10:32
baizonthis also affects other thinkpad models10:33
kaffeebohnebaizon: "<kaffeebohne> xubuntu569: anything with intel cpu and intel gpu should be good supported, if it is not the newest hardware."10:33
baizonkaffeebohne: yes yes, just saying because of this "I'd recommend a laptop of lenovos 'thinkpad' line..."10:33
kaffeebohneWell, I have a t420 and no problems10:34
kaffeebohnejust because it bricks the newest hardware (i guess an uefi bug) you can't assume that it wouldn't run on fine on older machines10:34
baizonyes, of course its uefi + windows10:34
kaffeebohneI have uefi too.10:35
kaffeebohneNo problems.10:35
baizonwell the uefi on my lenovo edge doesnt work. Ubuntu wont boot up10:35
baizonthats why i dont trust lenovo + uefi + linux10:36
kaffeebohneI forgot why I tried to avoid *buntu-channels :/10:36
baizon?10:37

cfhowlettDarryl_, instructions are on the cloud website13:19
Darryl_to create an exception?  I looked but I couldn't seem to find what I thought was a solution.  Could you point me to the right place with a link?13:22
Darryl_please13:22
Darryl_dazhi, its Darryl here again.  I got logged out.  Are you able to help again with my question regarding "Copy"?13:26
