[14:03] <thafreak> OMG, I'm SO tired of freakin compiz...
[14:03] <thafreak> every day I come to work, and my machine is unresponsive for like 15minutes
[14:04] <dzho> heh
[14:04] <thafreak> while compiz swaps in
[14:04] <dzho> same with my laptop at home
[14:04] <thafreak> 1.7g resident? seriously
[14:04] <dzho> I pick it up and it just . . . sits there
[14:04] <thafreak> what make is it?
[14:04] <dzho> funny thing is, I pick it up and I'm looking at my *desktop*
[14:04] <dzho> HP G42 mumblesomething
[14:04] <thafreak> hmmm
[14:05] <dzho> bottom-of-the-barrel 14" from a couple of years ago now
[14:05] <thafreak> My old desktop at work did something similar
[14:05] <dzho> basically, the cheapest 14" I could find off the shelf that had a proc that did virtualization.
[14:05] <dzho> eventually, the screen locks, and *then* I can log in
[14:05] <thafreak> only the screen saver wouldn't unlock, just left my screen black
[14:05] <dzho> and then it's about 6-10 seconds before I can work with it
[14:05] <thafreak> but it wouldn't go to IO hell
[14:06] <dzho> from a security perspective that the screen doesn't lock right away is horrifying
[14:06] <thafreak> yeah....i hear you
[14:06] <thafreak> especially when it doesn't lock 100%
[14:06] <thafreak> like you can still see some windows for some reason
[14:06] <dzho> at least it responds to keyboard, so I can move over to a virtual term and check that the thing hasn't totally lost its mind
[14:06] <thafreak> that happens to me alot
[14:06] <dzho> or, shut it down, depending
[14:07] <dzho> it's funny to me that there's this guy at our LUG that complains about them having dropped non-PAE support.
[14:08] <dzho> so his 12 year old thinkpad is not supported out-of-the-box because for some inexplicable reason, even though PAE was already old news by then, IBM put a chip in that didn't support it.
[14:08] <thafreak> oh boy...
[14:08] <dzho> and I'm thinking that's the least of your worries coming up, pal.
[14:08] <dzho> I guess no kernel is worse than bad graphics support, though.
[14:08] <thafreak> heh
[14:09] <thafreak> dzho: what desktop does this laptop of yours run?
[14:09] <paultag> ♫
[14:09] <thafreak> i mean DE
[14:09] <thafreak> geez
[14:09] <dzho> thafreak: stock 12.04 mostly
[14:09] <dzho> so, Unity
[14:09] <thafreak> so unity?
[14:09] <thafreak> ah...ok
[14:09] <thafreak> same here
[14:09] <dzho> paultag: haha
[14:09] <thafreak> I'm blaming that
[14:10] <dzho> yeah
[14:10] <thafreak> I just installed kubuntu 12.10 on an old laptop, and frankly, I like it much better
[14:10] <dzho> my netbook, which is still going strong, but which is even more underpowered, I'm not even going to try to take to 12.04
[14:10] <thafreak> even gtk apps seem to be rendered correctly now
[14:10] <dzho> got an external USB spinner as scratch/backup for taking it over to Debian
[14:10] <thafreak> I'm using my POS netbook right now...it's crunchbang
[14:11] <thafreak> I WOULD use my work desktop, but it's in IO hell right now
[14:11] <thafreak> 75+% IO Wait...
[14:12] <thafreak> with compiz using 45% of mem
[14:12] <dzho> I have that problem on a 10.04 desktop, because I put aide on it, and aide is launched by default from /etc/cron.daily, so I don't get to pick when it starts chewing up disk IO and cpu calculating md5s
[14:13] <dzho> at some point, I'll make it a proper cron job and run it when I'm not usually here, but I haven't figured out where I want to put the cron script
[14:13] <thafreak> hmm...well, I got frustrated with this box, so I put collectd on it to graph it's weirdness
[14:13] <dzho> plus, you know, screwing around with the package configuration has me a bit sad.
[14:13]  * dzho goes to look up collectd
[14:13] <thafreak> rrd graphing tool
[14:13] <dzho> oh
[14:14] <thafreak> wanna see some graphs of this disk io...see if there's a pattern maybe
[14:15] <thafreak> This is nuts...I go to virtual console, and work the cli, and my disk light goes off
[14:15] <thafreak> I think, oh, it's done swapping
[14:16] <thafreak> I go back to the desktop, and boom, disk light goes solid again...
[14:16] <thafreak> gah...
[14:16] <thafreak> I put 12.04 "LTS" on here thinking it'd be a "stable" desktop...ha
[14:17] <thafreak> I got shit to do, and actual deadlines... :( no time to re-install...
[14:17] <thafreak> anyone know if lxde uses compiz?
[14:17] <thafreak> I bet xfce does
[14:20] <thafreak> Ok, apparently the solution, kill -9 compiz...
[14:26] <dzho> it's the only way to be sure
[14:26] <dzho> unfortunately, it's hard to do from orbit
[14:27] <thafreak> maybe I need to treat it like a windows box, and reboot it frequently?
[14:28] <dzho> gotta love that bug #1
[14:29] <thafreak> tasksel install lubuntu-core
[14:29] <thafreak> maybe this will help
[18:01] <thafreak> So, been running lxde since my reboot this morning
[18:01] <thafreak> the machine is still not swapping yet...
[18:02] <thafreak> so, I'm blaming unity...I guess I'm finally on the anti-unity bandwagon :/
[18:03]  * skellat looks to cue up the Weird Al Yankovic song "Another One Rides The Bus"
[18:06]  * skellat finds it here: http://tinysong.com/11vi6
[18:06] <skellat> thafreak: Did your machine meet or exceed the minimum recommended specs?
[18:07] <thafreak> intel core i5 w/4gb of ram...I hope that's well above min specs!
[18:07] <skellat> Yeah
[18:07] <skellat> It is
[18:07] <skellat> Wow
[18:07] <thafreak> Funny thing is, my previous machine was a core2 duo w/4gb of ram, and it ran fine
[18:07] <thafreak> my previous box was a system76 machine though, and the new one is a dell
[18:07] <skellat> That's why I run Xubuntu and my parents run Lubuntu
[18:08] <skellat> I'm usually running hand-me-down hardware
[18:08] <thafreak> well, I've got lubuntu on here for now...so I can at least get some work done
[18:08] <skellat> Cool
[18:08] <thafreak> this is my work machine...it's basically hand me down...
[18:08] <thafreak> it's my boss's "refresh" machine...
[18:09] <thafreak> she some how talked them into getting her a macbook...and still giving her a refresh machine
[18:09] <skellat> That's excellent interpersonal negotiation skills, I suppose


[11:36] <xu-help66w> Hey there! I installed Xubuntu on my TabletPC but I am not reallay able to use the keyboard, because it types the wrong characters all the time ... I tried to change the keyboard model, but I don't know which one is the right ...
[11:45] <xu-irc38w> Xubuntu doesn't work.   I just installed it.  I tried to sudo apt-get install chromium-browser.  There is no effing apt anymore. Now there's snap. But snap doesn't work.    Every since some sick assholes decided to reinvent Gnome to make the gays happy that it's pretty, linux has consistently gone downhill.
[11:47] <xu-irc38w> I might as well use Window.
[11:50] <coconut> xu-irc38w, well... you have a good one too...
[12:01] <xu-help66w> Anyone have an idea?
[17:35] <xu-help58w> I got some hash sum error when upgrading xubuntu to 20.04
[17:40] <irhfaan> Hey all
[17:40] <freelikegnu> yo
[17:40] <irhfaan> I am migrating to linux and using xubuntu
[17:40] <freelikegnu> congrats
[17:40] <irhfaan> I am glad to find the chat support group.
[17:43] <freelikegnu> moving from windows and using irc and xubuntu, good start :D
[21:13] <AgusLinux> Hi guys, I just installed in an ssd drive Xubuntu 18.04

[20:55] <Chrissss> hello, i've got a little question related on upstart
[20:56] <Chrissss> is there a way to limit the number where upstart tries to respawn a process?
[20:56] <Chrissss> in my case i establish a vpn connection via vpnc, since vpnc drops sometime the connection i use upstart to respawn vpnc
[20:57] <Chrissss> but i noticed that in some cases the connection can't be establised and upstart respawns vpnc over and over again
[21:01] <tholme_> yes there is
[21:02] <tholme_> i think...
[21:02] <tholme_> theres a respawn limit you can use
[21:03] <Chrissss> ah, just found it...
[21:03] <Chrissss> respawn limit 10 5
[21:03] <Chrissss> [...]so we limit it’s respawning to 10 times in 5 seconds (which happens to be the default).
[21:03] <Chrissss> http://www.netsplit.com/2008/04/19/upstart-05-job-lifetime/
[21:07] <Chrissss> tholme_, thanks for the push into the right direction, cu
[21:07] <tholme_> np :)


[12:30] <Ramla> vlc and mplayer played my dvd's without xine1-ffmpeg but totem didn't.
[12:31] <Pumpernickel> VLC and mplayer provide their own codecs.  Totem doesn't.
[12:34] <Jester45> totem is a front end of xine VLC and mplayer are standalone
[12:37] <JJNova> mplayer > *
[12:38] <Pumpernickel> Totem isn't a front end for xine.   You might be able to watch a single movie with it, but there's no way you can use it to watch a tv series without menus since the dvd tracks are usually in no order
[12:47] <Ramla> I don't know about others but with vlc sound doesn't work properly on dvd playback, so I'm with totem. Mplayer for everything else though.
[12:47] <Ramla> *doesn't work properly for me
[12:47] <JJNova> Yeah, I don't watch DVD's on my PC, so that would explain not experiencing a problem with Mplayer
[12:50] <Ramla> Apparently there's experimental dvd menu support for mplayer though. Anybody tried it?
[12:52] <Gerro> use totem it works I think
[12:52] <Gerro> mplayer is buggy as heck unless you have all the libraries setup correctly
[12:53] <Gerro> think ubuntu does that on purpose, everyone seems to be all about the totem
[12:53] <JJNova> Of course, I don't watch DVD's on my PC, so that might be why I have nothing to like form Totme
[12:53] <JJNova> Totem
[12:59] <JJNova> tots
[01:00] <Gerro> eep
[01:29] <silent_> I installed xubuntu, but I'm installing gnome D:>
[01:30] <JJNova> y ?
[01:30] <JJNova> I thought you were doing a debian install ?
[01:31] <silent_> I was, but it kept freezing on a particular part due to a scratched cd
[01:31] <silent_> and I didn't want to burn another cd
[01:31] <JJNova> heh
[01:32] <silent_> but I like what I see so far
[01:32] <silent_> xfce seems a little bare though
[01:32] <JJNova> are you using sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ?
[01:32] <silent_> nope, is that a bad thing?
[01:32] <JJNova> Well, I guess not.
[01:32] <silent_> just went through synaptic
[01:32] <JJNova> Doing it the way mentioned would of installed all of the applications and stuff that comes with ubuntu
[01:33] <silent_> I think I'm getting the apps anyway
[01:33] <silent_> even though I didnt want them
[01:33] <JJNova> heh
[01:33] <silent_> its downloading games etc
[01:33] <silent_> >_<
[01:33] <JJNova> Ubuntu has a lot of apps that are packaged together
[01:33] <silent_> yea
[01:33] <JJNova> Like, I would want to delete all but maybe 2 games, but they were bundled together so I couldn't.
[01:33] <silent_> will my interface be preserved when I switch?
[01:34] <JJNova> Yeah, you'll be able to switch back to XFCE at anytime and it will remain as you left it
[01:49] <JJNova> Catoptromancy_:  Did you happen to find anything else regarding Wine and XFCE ?
[01:49] <Catoptromancy_> nope
[01:50] <Catoptromancy_> seems wine overwrites xfce cfg
[01:50] <Catoptromancy_> probably better just forgetting about it
[01:50] <JJNova> heh. But it's all cluttering my Applications menu
[01:50] <Catoptromancy_> ive had my "other" menu for over a week
[01:50] <Catoptromancy_> i know i hate it
[01:50] <Catoptromancy_> but i ignore it heh
[02:01] <JJNova> That's it. I'm installing Ubuntu
[02:02] <JJNova> Then I will remove XFCE and all related folders.
[02:02] <JJNova> That shuold hopefully allow me to reinstall it with a fresh system
[02:07] <silent_> mmm, gnome is so slick
[02:10] <TheSheep> silent_: yes, it improved a lot in the recent couple of years
[02:13] <JJNova> It's too bad Wine messes things up like that. I much like XFCE
[02:15] <JJNova> What is the button sequence to kill a window ?
[02:15] <TheSheep> JJNova: wine is not a part of xfce...
[02:15] <TheSheep> JJNova: I think that xkill is by default mapped to alt+ctrl+esc
[02:15] <JJNova> I understand that, but Wine is something that I do use, and it affects XFCE negatively
[02:16] <JJNova> thank you
[02:17] <silent_> its not ctrl+alt+backspace
[02:17] <silent_> that's for sure
[02:17] <JJNova> heh
[02:17] <TheSheep> silent_: no, that's the default for zapping the x server
[02:18] <silent_> :)
[02:18] <silent_> I guess I should install fluxbox now
[02:18] <silent_> ...maybe
[02:20] <JJNova> Ratpoison
[02:22] <silent_> ratpoison?
[02:27] <TheSheep> ratpoison is good if you hate rodents
[02:29] <TheSheep> goys, do you know of any font-preview program that can display ttf fonts not installed in the system?
[02:29] <TheSheep> guys
[02:30] <Pumpernickel> There's gfontview, I guess.
[02:30] <Pumpernickel> !info gfontview
[02:30] <ubotu> gfontview: font viewer for Type 1 and TrueType fonts. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.5.0-6 (feisty), package size 76 kB, installed size 276 kB
[02:32] <TheSheep> Pumpernickel: thank you
[02:32] <Pumpernickel> np
[02:33] <TheSheep> argh, gnome orbit, gnome corba XD
[02:35] <JJNova> Wow, you miss a lot of updates when you aren't using gnome.
[02:35] <Jester45> ??
[02:35] <Jester45> JJNova: you confuse me once again
[02:35] <JJNova> It's a gift
[02:36] <JJNova> I just switched back to Ubuntu
[02:36] <Jester45> o
[02:36] <Jester45> gnome as more programs
[02:36] <JJNova> Something that's not wise though.... uninstalling all aspects of xfce....while running XFCE
[02:39] <michael> hello
[02:40] <michael1384> I have a problem
[02:41] <TheSheep> !ask | michael1384
[02:41] <ubotu> michael1384: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:49] <michael1384> i am trying to install xubuntu on an old pc but it says "can't access tty; job control turned off"
[02:53] <TheSheep> michael1384: that's what it displays when it fails to mount the root filesystem at startup
[02:54] <michael1384> ok
[02:55] <michael1384> what should I do?
[02:55] <TheSheep> michael1384: you see this when booting the livecd?
[02:57] <michael1384> yes
[02:57] <TheSheep> michael1384: at the boot menu, you can see an aption to check the cd integrity -- do it
[02:58] <michael1384> ok
[02:58] <TheSheep> michael1384: there are chances that either the download was corrupted, the cd is faulty or the burn process failed somehow
[02:59] <TheSheep> michael1384: if the test fails, test the checksum of the iso file you downloaded
[02:59] <vidd_laptop> michael1384, what did you download?
[02:59] <TheSheep> michael1384: by the way, if the coputer has less than 192MB ram, it's better to use the alternate cd, not the live cd
[03:00] <vidd_laptop> or the mini iso
[03:00] <michael1384> it has 192 mb of ram
[03:14] <Puma> Hi
[03:14] <Jester45> hi
[03:14] <michael1384> says errors found in one file
[03:15] <Puma> jester 45 can you help me with a problem, is about the resolution in xubuntu
[03:15] <JJNova> Puma, are you trying to go up to 1280*1024 ?
[03:15] <Jester45> maybe if the resolution that you want is not listed try editing
[03:16] <Jester45> /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the command: sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:16] <Puma> no,really no
[03:17] <Puma> I want to put it in 32 bits
[03:17] <Puma> I expalin you:
[03:17] <Jester45> thats also in the xorg.conf
[03:17] <TheSheep> michael1384: check the iso then
[03:17] <TheSheep> !md5 | michael1384
[03:17] <ubotu> michael1384: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[03:17] <michael1384> how?
[03:17] <TheSheep> michael1384: here is a howto
[03:18] <Puma> in 16 an 24 bits mode appear a vertical lines
[03:18] <TheSheep> michael1384: if the iso is corrupted -- redownload. if it's ok -- just burn it on a different cd, preferably with the slowest speed you can.
[03:18] <michael1384> ok
[03:18] <michael1384> thanks
[03:19] <TheSheep> michael1384: it's also possible that the cd drive in your old computer is not so good anymore
[03:19] <Puma> I'm here again
[03:20] <Puma> in winxp in may monitor appear vertical lines in 16 or 24 bits mode (rsolution)
[03:21] <Puma> but no in 32 bitsd
[03:21] <Puma> in Xubuntu appear vertical lines too in 16 or 24 bits mode
[03:22] <Puma> so I can change the resolution to 32 bits mode
[03:26] <Puma> Hii
[03:26] <Puma> hi,hi
[03:26] <Puma> someone to help me please
[03:26] <sigmamu188> Puma: with what?
[03:27] <Jester45> puma try #ubuntu this doesnt seem to be xfce spacfic
[03:27] <Puma> ok
[03:27] <TheSheep> Puma: edit as root the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and change the line "DefaultDepth 24" to "DefaultDepth 32"
[03:27] <Puma> I will enter in Ubuntu
[03:28] <Puma> only that
[03:28] <crdlb> eh?
[03:28] <Puma> that is al I want to do
[03:28] <sigmamu188> let me see what i can do
[03:28] <crdlb> 32 is wrong
[03:28] <Puma> ohh, I'm fatal
[03:28] <crdlb> it doesn't actually exist
[03:28] <Puma> I'm no speak english too well
[03:29] <Puma> pardon me
[03:29] <michael1384> little problem with that solution
[03:29] <michael1384> i deleted the iso
[03:29] <michael1384> i'm going to download it again tomorrow
[03:29] <michael1384> goodnight
[03:29] <sigmamu188> Puma: whats video card are you using?
[03:29] <TheSheep> michael1384: well, then you have no choice :)
[03:29] <michael1384> thanks for the help
[03:30] <TheSheep> michael1384: you might want to test the cd in a different drive though -- and replace that drive if it works fine in a differento ne
[03:30] <Puma> signamu: my card video is a ATI Mobility Radeon M6 LY (agp)
[03:30] <michael1384> thanks
[03:30] <michael1384> bye
[03:30] <TheSheep> crdlb: it does exist for some cards
[03:30] <crdlb> 30 exists, I've never heard of 32
[03:30] <TheSheep> crdlb: not that monitors can handle that :)
[03:30] <crdlb> ie 10bit color
[03:32] <Puma> I specify
[03:32] <Puma> don hate me to mention windows
[03:32] <Puma> don't hate me to mention windows
[03:33] <TheSheep> Puma: rest assured, we don't hate you
[03:33] <Puma> in winxp I have the same problem in 16 and 245 bits mode
[03:33] <Puma> in winxp I have the same problem in 16 and 24 bits mode
[03:33] <Puma> but in 32 bits I don't have problems
[03:34] <sigmamu188> Puma:  have you install the ATI binary X.org driver?
[03:34] <crdlb> you can't on an m6
[03:34] <crdlb> that's a radeon 7000
[03:34] <crdlb> it never supported that card
[03:34] <Puma> I don't have installed the driver of ATI becouse it looks worst
[03:34] <sigmamu188> hmm
[03:35] <Puma> I 've proved  whit various drivers but Vesa work better
[03:35] <TheSheep> Puma: have you tried changing that DefaultDepth?
[03:35] <crdlb> Puma, eh?
[03:35] <Puma> really no
[03:35] <crdlb> you're not even using "ati"?
[03:35] <crdlb> that's not ati's driver
[03:35] <crdlb> ati's driver is fglrx
[03:36] <sigmamu188> xorg-driver-fglrx
[03:36] <crdlb> but it doesn't support your card
[03:36] <crdlb> so don't bother
[03:37] <Puma> you are right, fglrx works but in 24 bits mode too so I see the same vertical lines
[03:37] <sigmamu188> it might be you refresh rate set wrong
[03:37] <crdlb> and it works fine with vesa?
[03:37] <sigmamu188> in the xorg.conf
[03:39] <Puma> I've configured many times and vesa works like fglrx
[03:39] <Puma> maybe my card is damaged
[03:39] <Puma> my videom card
[03:40] <Puma> because in win xp I get the same problem in 16 and 24 bits mode
[03:41] <Puma> but if i change to 32 bits mode the screen looks well,normal
[03:41] <sigmamu188> how old is you moniter?
[03:41] <Puma> in winxp I've not installed the ati's driver
[03:42] <Puma> well the pc is a laptop
[03:42] <sigmamu188> ok
[03:42] <Puma> I think it was bought in 2002 year
[03:43] <Puma> win xp use vga.dll, I've seem this in dxdiag
[03:44] <Puma> so I tried with vga in xubuntu even in mandriva so never load
[03:45] <Puma> appear a black screen and I can't do anything ao I have to reboot
[03:45] <JJNova> Some hardware does not support Linux, and this is predominately true in Notebook/Laptop cases
[03:45] <sigmamu188> http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.25.18.html
[03:45] <sigmamu188> not sure if that will help
[03:46] <Puma> ok
[03:46] <JJNova> Oh, sorry, just caught the tail end, didn't realize there was troubleshooting going on already
[03:47] <Puma> so I can't change the resolution to 32 bits mode
[03:47] <Puma> so can't I  change the resolution to 32 bits mode
[03:48] <sigmamu188> !beta
[03:48] <Puma> the beta version of xubuntu
[03:48] <sigmamu188> are you running the latest disto of xubuntu??
[03:48] <sigmamu188> feisty
[03:48] <sigmamu188> i think
[03:48] <sigmamu188> !feisty
[03:48] <JJNova> 7.04
[03:49] <Puma> well I've downloaded two months ago
[03:49] <Puma> dapper drake LTS
[03:49] <JJNova> So then you have the Beta of Xubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn
[03:49] <JJNova> oh wow
[03:49] <sigmamu188> the did the final release of feisty
[03:50] <crdlb> sigmamu188, no version of fglrx supports that card
[03:50] <sigmamu188> you should upgrade
[03:50] <sigmamu188> ahh
[03:50] <sigmamu188> i know when i upgraaded from the beta to the final all of my nvidia issues were fixed
[03:50] <ubotu> If you are running a Herd/Beta version of Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) and have been keeping it up to date, you are already running the final release version of Feisty. To make sure, type  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade  in a console. If you last updated few days ago, you are on the final version.
[03:51] <ubotu> Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) is the latest version of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Feisty: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - For BitTorrent downloads, see !Torrents
[03:51] <Puma> its good
[03:52] <Puma> if has gnome desktop my laptop not loaded
[03:52] <Puma> if has gnome desktop my laptop not load
[03:52] <Puma> or I can choose the desktop
[03:53] <Puma> or can I choose the desktop
[03:53] <Puma> please, pardon my poor english, reaaly I speak spanish
[03:53] <sigmamu188> its ok
[03:53] <sigmamu188> you laptop wont gnome?
[03:55] <Puma> when I tried to load a gnome desktop i have to rebbot it
[03:56] <Puma> appear a black screen and I can't do anything
[03:56] <Puma> so I have to rebbot
[03:56] <Puma> an i have another method , with another desktop
[03:57] <sigmamu188> Puma: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=246746
[03:57] <Puma> but kde load
[03:57] <sigmamu188> see if that helps your issue
[03:57] <Puma> ok
[03:57] <sigmamu188> also when you installed xubuntu did you run media check one the live cd first?
[03:58] <sigmamu188> it may have just been a bad install to begin with
[03:58] <Puma> I think the memory of my video card is 16 MB due to this no load gnome
[03:58] <Puma> i don't know
[03:58] <sigmamu188> that happened on my first install
[03:59] <sigmamu188> i would say start with a clean install of linux and be sure to check the disk for errors first
[04:00] <sigmamu188> on the latest install cd's there should be an option menu with a media check option you can scroll down to
[04:00] <sigmamu188> you want to return a checksum (0)
[04:01] <sigmamu188> but then again like crdlb said ther may be no hope
[04:01] <sigmamu188> you might just need a new card
[04:04] <Puma> I think that but I just want to use the video card  because in this moment I can't buy a new
[04:04] <Puma> videom card
[04:04] <Puma> what a shame

[04:52] <Rynux91> I should have this place setup to load as soon as I load Gaim...
[04:52] <Rynux91> ...got a question...
[04:52] <Rynux91> ...is the cli soupossed to be functional when using the live CD?
[04:53] <JJNova> Yes
[04:53] <Rynux91> hmm
[04:53] <Rynux91> then I have a bad live CD
[04:54] <JJNova> Although I just randomnly chose Yes as my ansswer
[04:54] <Rynux91> it crashes the same way Xubuntu does when I try to load the cli...
[04:54] <JJNova> I would assume though, pressing Control+ALT+F2 would bring up a CLI interface
[04:54] <Rynux91> in my case...it crashes the GUI...
[04:54] <Rynux91> X desktop I think...or is it X server...
[04:54] <Rynux91> ah whatever...
[04:55] <Rynux91> anyway...I'm assuming that since the CLI crashes on both the installed Xubuntu and the Live CD that ethier the disk is bad or I have some sort of hardware conflict
[04:56] <Rynux91> well..anyway...brb...going to switch back over...
[05:01] <Rynux91> back again..
[05:24] <Rynux91> so...
[05:25] <Rynux91> anyone here who is active in which to assistance or give advice to a new user?
[05:25] <JJNova> Is it still the CLI problem ?
[05:26] <Rynux91> yeah
[05:27] <Rynux91> I'm now wondering if it's a hardware conflict(doubt it) or a bad CD
[05:31] <JJNova> I can't help you out there man.
[05:31] <Rynux91> ok
[05:31] <JJNova> CTRL+ALT+F2 didn't do anything ?
[05:33] <JJNova> CTRL+ALT+F2 didn't do anything ?
[05:33] <Rynux91> whenever I try to load the CLI, it crashes X Desktop(or X server(?))
[05:33] <JJNova> X is the graphical aspect though.
[05:33] <JJNova> X is the windows manager
[05:33] <Rynux91> it loads the CLI...which then crashes the GUI...then it restarts the GUI at the loggon screen
[05:34] <Rynux91> I wish I knew why...
[05:36] <JJNova> Sorry man. I wish I could help you out.
[05:36] <Rynux91> well...no worries..
[05:37] <Rynux91> I'll problobly get it fixed eventually ;)
[05:57] <mindframe> is there a way for xubuntu to notify when synaptic has upgrades available?
[05:57] <JJNova> Not that I know of. It's one of the downsides of Xubuntu
[05:58] <JJNova> but you can install another Environment like Ubuntu and use it just for that purpose
[05:58] <mindframe> heh no thx
[05:58] <mindframe> ill go with cron-apt
[06:02] <Myrtti> well.
[06:02] <Myrtti> Isn't synaptic part of xubuntu?
[06:03] <JJNova> yes
[06:03] <Myrtti> I remember synaptic having an option of notifying
[06:03] <Myrtti> and in ubuntu update-manager launches on starting gnome
[06:03] <JJNova> Well I'm in Ubuntu right now, so I can't check
[06:04] <Myrtti> that's what I'm talking about, Ubuntu
[06:04] <Myrtti> I wouldn't be suprised if adding update-manager to launch in xubuntu start and/or synaptic set to notify would do the trick
[06:05] <jgamio> In software sources -> Update -> check for update
[06:06] <jgamio> you can select only notify
[06:13] <silent_> crdlb, I got my drivers working
[06:14] <silent_> that library import deal was irritating, but it worked
[06:14] <crdlb> cool
[06:14] <crdlb> so you had to copy libwfb.so from somewhere?
[06:15] <silent_> yea
[06:15] <silent_> I had to extract the files inthe nvidia run, then copy a missing library to my system files
[06:16] <silent_> and poof
[06:20] <Plasmid47> Does anyone know how to disable virtual consoles to free up RAM?
[06:20] <crdlb> you mean like workspaces?
[06:20] <crdlb> they don't use ram
[06:21] <Myrtti> or tty's?
[06:22] <Myrtti> I doubt they use any ram if unused
[06:22] <Pumpernickel> A bit, but only to mark their existence.
[06:23] <Plasmid47> TTY's and workspaces
[06:23] <Plasmid47> I'm setting up computer for my parents
[06:23] <Plasmid47> It's an old PII, so it needs all the memory I can get
[06:24] <Plasmid47> plus, they're never ever going to use anything other than the main desktop
[06:24] <Pumpernickel> You might save a few bytes by disabling them.
[06:24] <Plasmid47> I was following some of the tips here: http://www.chinwong.com/index.php/site/article/ubuntu_speed_up_tips/
[06:24] <Plasmid47> but I think that's written for Dapper, so a lot of it is out of date
[06:27] <Plasmid47> so...suggestions?

[04:22] <loswillios> W8TAH: regarding your problem. i think you may have to edit some config-files from xfce
[04:23] <W8TAH> loswillios, i would tend to agree -- i just dont know which ones
[04:25] <loswillios> maybe you should try in #xfce
[04:25] <W8TAH> i did they made nasty comments about xubuntu and basically told me to get lost
[04:25] <loswillios> uh
[04:26] <W8TAH> :)
[04:26] <loswillios> flame wars suck hard
[04:26] <W8TAH> ya they sure do

[04:30] <grazie> loswillios: for you pdf doc, right click on it in thunar and select "open with ...." and then select your pdf viewer app
[04:31] <loswillios> grazie: it opens fine in thunar, but not in thunderbird
[04:32] <grazie> loswillios: you want to open a pdf doc from a link in thunderbird?
[04:32] <loswillios> from an attachement
[04:33] <loswillios> it's attached to the email and when i click on it, I can only save it to disk

[04:44] <loswillios> damnit
[05:03] <TehRealNexGe1> hi do you have to double click .desktop files to add its contents onto the menu?
[05:08] <TehRealNexGe1> and how do you remove them. the menu editor only doesnt show any of these
[05:12] <grazie> TehRealNexGe1: if a .desktop file is in /usr/share/applications or ~/.local/share/applications it will be part of the system menu
[05:14] <grazie> TehRealNexGe1: to add to the menu, create a .desktop file ... to delete from the menu, delete (or better rename) the .desktop file
[05:23] <TehRealNexGe1> ok thanx
[05:29] <TehRealNexGe1> ok i juggled the menu entries around a bit and changed one of the .dektop file's catagory section from just "games" (which came under "ther in the menu" to "application;games;" will this move the entry? when will it update?
[05:30] <TehRealNexGe1> lol typo what i meant to say was "Which came under "Other" in the menu"
[05:34] <TehRealNexGe1> ok its updatd itself now no need to anser my question :)
[05:35] <CHORUSS> hello

[05:36] <CHORUSS> when I run xubuntu LiveCD on my 800x600 resolution laptop, I cant see desktop panels
[05:36] <loswillios> finally
[05:36] <W8TAH> TehRealNexGe1, ok -- how can i modify my right click menu on fieisty
[05:37] <TehRealNexGe1> no idea :-[
[05:37] <W8TAH> bummer
[05:37] <W8TAH> ok - thanks
[05:37] <TehRealNexGe1> CHORUSS: you mean workspaces
[05:37] <TehRealNexGe1> ?
[05:38] <CHORUSS> i seems it is some kind of bug, I want know if there is it on all 800x600 computers or only my
[05:38] <CHORUSS> panel with systray etc.
[05:39] <CHORUSS> I see only icons on the desktop
[05:39] <TehRealNexGe1> ok
[05:39] <TehRealNexGe1> type "xfce4-panel"
[05:40] <TehRealNexGe1> at your terminal
[05:40] <CHORUSS> I try it
[05:40] <TehRealNexGe1> can you get to your terminal
[05:40] <CHORUSS> but why arent they here already? on my 1024x768 monitor it is ok
[05:41] <TehRealNexGe1> erm did you try it?
[05:42] <CHORUSS> mom, I am running up my laptop with LiveCD
[05:42] <CHORUSS> it is quite old laptop
[05:44] <TehRealNexGe1> you didnt answer my question
[05:44] <CHORUSS> no yet
[05:44] <CHORUSS> mom please... comp. is starting
[05:45] <TehRealNexGe1> btw it could be this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-panel/+bug/53897
[05:45] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 53897 in xfce4-panel "Disappearing panels Xubuntu dapper" [Undecided,Needs info]
[05:47] <CHORUSS> yee, I saw it... but in my case panels arent visible after booting
[05:48] <TehRealNexGe1> er what, you saw it after you typed the terminal command but not after reboot?
[05:48] <CHORUSS> after reboot..
[05:48] <CHORUSS> again:
[05:49] <CHORUSS> I start my LiveCD... system boots up, xfce desktop appears
[05:50] <CHORUSS> there should be two panels - on the top and bottom + icons on the desktop
[05:50] <CHORUSS> I can see only icons, both panels are missing
[05:51] <CHORUSS> I can switch to text mode console screen
[05:51] <TehRealNexGe1> -_- have you tried typing "xfce4-panel" yet? you still havnt told me
[05:52] <CHORUSS> I try it now, pc is finally booted up
[05:53] <CHORUSS> ok
[05:53] <CHORUSS> panels are here, how can I set it to run automatically after boot, please?
[05:54] <TehRealNexGe1> i dont know myself exctly
[05:54] <TehRealNexGe1> perhaps a script
[05:54] <CHORUSS> so... there is one thing I like to know...
[05:55] <CHORUSS> why on one computer it starts automatically and on onother I have to run it manually? where is the bug?
[05:56] <TehRealNexGe1> nothing has to run automatically, its because there is a bug specific to the combination of hardware for your laptop
[05:57] <CHORUSS> ahh... can I correct it?
[05:57] <TehRealNexGe1> i wouldnt know, you should try ubuntuforums.org, there are much more knowledgable people there
[05:58] <CHORUSS> ok, thank you a lot
[05:58] <TehRealNexGe1> thanx
[05:58] <CHORUSS> thanx : )
[05:58] <Pumpernickel> You can just save a session with them running, and they'll be there from then on.
[06:36] <abuzuke> i have just installed xubuntu and i have 3Com ethernet device but i cannot reach it so i cannot use my internet connection, what can i do?
[06:38] <abuzuke> can you help me?
[06:39] <Myrtti> you've tried at #ubuntu already? hardware problems aren't xubuntu spesific and you might get help there better
[06:39] <abuzuke> Myrtti, yes i have just asked
[07:41] <admin0> anyone here have issues with Cedega?
[07:42] <Pumpernickel> !anyone
[07:42] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:43] <Catoptromancy_> heh
[07:44] <admin0> ok so for some reason, I cannot have XMMS running with Cedega so as to listen to my own music while playing a game.
[07:44] <admin0> It is not necessarily needed, but it would be a nice luxury
[07:44] <admin0> I spent time trying different sound daemons for each program, but nothing seems to work
[07:45] <Pumpernickel> You'd have to use the alsa-oss wrapper for that to work.
[07:45] <admin0> after installing the wrapper do I need to do configuration?
[07:47] <admin0> thank you very much pumpernickel! you solved my problem.
[07:48] <admin0> next question, what exactly does alsa-oss do?
[07:48] <Pumpernickel> OSS is the old sound system for Linux; it can only handle one application using the sound device at a time (without a sound server).
[07:49] <Pumpernickel> Alsa has a mixer, and alsa-oss acts as a wrapper for OSS only applications, sending their output through that mixer.
[07:50] <admin0> so you are using alsa as a frontend for oss?
[07:50] <admin0> or does it pipe info that was made for oss through alsa?
[07:50] <Pumpernickel> The second one.
[07:50] <admin0> cool thank you very much
[07:50] <Pumpernickel> anytime

[08:44] <tic1> could someone help me resize a partition?  i have a bunch of gb unallocated but i can't seem to enlarge my home partition to include this free space.
[08:46] <tic1> i have rebooted into the live cd and i am using gparted.
[08:48] <Jester45> tic1: if you try to resize you might destroy your home partition
[08:48] <Jester45> just as a warning
[08:49] <tic1> wouldn't it just give it more free space.  i don't need to change anything on the partition i just want to make it bigger.
[08:49] <Jester45> it still might destroy it
[08:50] <tic1> but is their a way to do it?
[08:50] <Jester45> yea i dont know how
[08:50] <Jester45> !partitioning
[08:50] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[08:50] <Jester45> no help
[08:51] <tic1> i am running gparted on a livecd so that i can unmount my home partition but it will only allow me to make it smaller, not bigger.  it seems to not recognize the unallocated space.
[08:53] <Pumpernickel> Is the unallocated space sequential to the partition you're resizing?
[08:53] <Clarrisa_2008> hello
[08:54] <tic1> what do you mean by sequential?  in gparted it is right beside it on the left... but i think that the answer your looking for is a little more indepth than that!  =-)
[08:54] <Clarrisa_2008> is the a way I can shutoff Xfce and then renable it only then I need it
[08:56] <Pumpernickel> tic1: I meant them being physically beside each other on the disk; you wouldn't be able to resize a partition it if they weren't.
[08:56] <Clarrisa_2008> I have a slow box running right now as a ubuntu LAmp server with no GUI and don't want it bogged down with extra stuff.  I was thinking doing sudo aptitude update
[08:56] <Clarrisa_2008> sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop, but would like to able to disable xfce if I don't need it form time to time.  My linux box is old
[08:56] <Pumpernickel> Clarrisa_2008: Yeah, easily enough - remove GDM from the services that get started on boot.
[08:57] <Clarrisa_2008> pumpernickel.... er.. how do I do that exactly
[08:57] <Clarrisa_2008> I assume you mean that I edit a config file, which which one
[08:58] <Clarrisa_2008> and what do I comment out
[08:59] <tic1> Pumpernickel: i believe so... they are both on in /dev/sda.  i have the unallocated, then i have /dev/sda3 which is an ext3 and is flagged for boot, then i have /dev/sda2 which is my swap.
[09:02] <Clarrisa_2008> Pumpernickel, I found the following in a forum " Personally I just rename the gdm startup file to obtain the same end result.. gdm does not start at boot."   but where is the gdm startup file on ubuntu.  I like this method that they are suggesting if you think it will work
[09:04] <Pumpernickel> It's a bit hackish.  A better solution would be to use `sysv-rc-conf`.
[09:04] <Pumpernickel> !info sysv-rc-conf
[09:04] <ubotu> sysv-rc-conf: SysV init runlevel configuration tool for the terminal. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.99-5 (feisty), package size 23 kB, installed size 104 kB
[09:05] <tic1> Pumpernickel: i think i get it.  it says that their is no free space preceding it.  so even though i have a ton of unallocated space it needs to be "before" it.
[09:05] <tic1> would their be any way to move the unallocated space?
[09:07] <Pumpernickel> You might be able to move something into the unallocated space.
[09:07] <Pumpernickel> Alternatively, you could format it and use LVM.
[09:10] <tic1> i will look into LVM.   thanks for the help.
[09:10] <Pumpernickel> anytime
[09:10] <Clarrisa_2008> pumpernickel, how do I removed gdm from the services that get started at boot?  and then re-add it when I need it?
[09:11] <Pumpernickel> sysv-rc-conf, for all your service editing needs.
[09:21] <Clarrisa_2008> where is a howto from switching between CLI and XFCE GDM?
[09:24] <kalikiana__> Clarrisa_2008, You mean switching to a virtual console?
[09:25] <kalikiana__> Clarrisa_2008, That would be as easy as Ctrl+Alt+one of the F1 to F12 keys.
[09:25] <Jester45> Clarrisa_2008: do you need the gui off ? you chould kill gdm
[09:26] <Jester45> and do what kalikiana__ to get a cli
[09:38] <BFTD> hi
[09:40] <Jester45> hi
[09:43] <Tindora> Hi, I'm new to linux and having some problems with the installation of xubuntu. I wish to install xubuntu in my harddrive but I get some errors, I suspect it is that the installer uses NTFS when I'm taking "guided - entire disc" because I've got windows installed there before.
[09:44] <Tindora> I tried manual, but then there were so many file-systems I didn't know about. Witch one should I choose?
[09:44] <Pumpernickel> Ext3.
[09:45] <Tindora> And there is a swap partition, I guess that one should be there and stay as swap?
[09:45] <Pumpernickel> Keeping it would be the safe choice.
[09:45] <Tindora> What is the swap used as? The user or the system? Should it be larger than 1538 MB witch it is set to now?
[09:46] <Pumpernickel> Both.  It's just swap.
[09:46] <Tindora> Ok. Thank you. I will try :-)
[09:46] <Pumpernickel> It gets used as necessary when your main memory isn't enough.
[09:47] <Tindora> "No root file system defined" Where do I define it? :-)
[09:48] <Jester45> how do you check your uid and gid
[09:48] <kalikiana__> Tindora, You need one parition with the mount point '/'.
[09:49] <Tindora> Oh ok. I shouldn't use any 'media/' points if I'm not using more than the swap and the other partition?
[09:50] <Jester45> media/ is your removeable media right
[09:50] <Tindora> Dunno, don't think I have any removable media inserted/installed.
[09:51] <Pumpernickel> It would be, in an installed system.
[09:51] <Tindora> Aha! Ok.
[09:51] <Pumpernickel> If you're creating only one partition for linux, then that should be '/'.
[09:52] <Tindora> Nice. "Partitiions formatting" Ok, I'm excited ;-)
[09:52] <Tindora> Sorry for my bad english btw.
[10:08] <Tindora> Ok, thanks reboot.
[10:25] <Sleepy_Coder> brb. :p
[10:33] <Clarrisa_2008> I was using ubuntu forever, then decided to load the xubuntu desktop to give xfce a try.  I had previously set up my root user's password and have been using it forever, but now that I have xubuntu, I can't login as root, (I know I can use SUDO at a console, but this is for xfce administrationn), and it when I try to do any administrative tasks, it doesn't accept my root password.  Is there another step I need to take in or
[10:33] <Clarrisa_2008> der for xubuntu to let me do admin tasks?
[10:34] <Jester45> gksu admincommand
[10:34] <Jester45> maybe
[10:35] <Clarrisa_2008> where do I type that
[10:35] <Jester45> terminal
[10:35] <Clarrisa_2008> ok i'll try
[10:37] <Pumpernickel> Most likely root login from gdm has just been disabled.
[10:37] <Clarrisa_2008> same thing, it doesn't accept my password.  I don't get it.  my root user has been function fine for a year now, until I just loaded xubuntu
[10:39] <Clarrisa_2008> pumpernickel.  I can't even perform any functions on the XFCE Applications->System menu evne though I supply my root password
[10:50] <Tindora> And I'm back in the house. :-)
[10:51] <Tindora> How do I install rTorrent in xubuntu?
[10:52] <Jester45> sudo aptitude install rtorrent
[10:52] <Jester45> run that in a consule
[10:52] <Tindora> Does that work with pidgin to?
[10:53] <Jester45> no
[10:53] <Jester45> you have to download the .deb manually
[10:53] <Tindora> Sorry I'm new to linux :)
[10:53] <Jester45> you can download it at
[10:53] <Tindora> I couldn't find the .deb in pidgins official site.
[10:53] <Jester45> yea they didnt make one
[10:54] <Tindora> How stupid isn't that?
[10:54] <Jester45> run: wget http://vidd.homelinux.net:8080/downloads/pidgin_2.0.0beta7-1_i386.deb
[10:55] <Tindora> Oh then I'd got it right. I thought there were a full release out. I installed the beta.
[10:55] <Jester45> then run: sudo dpkg -i piggin*.deb
[10:56] <Jester45> o
[10:56] <Jester45> the only deb i got is beta
[10:58] <Clarrisa_2008> oh man this frustrating!!!  I can't do any administrative tasks from from Xfce, because it keeps saying "Enter your password for administrative tasks"  I give it my root password, which WORKS GREAT by the way inside a terminal using SU or SUDO, but it won't accept it in the GUI
[10:59] <Clarrisa_2008> please anyone, what do I do?
[11:01] <vidd_laptop> Clarrisa_2008, are you using the USER password, and not the ROOT password (are they different)?
[11:14] <Tindora> How do I install VNC? Sorry for installing-questions.
[11:14] <Clarrisa_2008> vidd_laptop the user password and the root password ARE different.  I was using the root password, so then I tried my own password, and now instead of the other message I was getting, I now get "failed to run network admin as user root"  I checked my group membership from a terminal and it only says I am a member of www-data and apachegroup.  is there an admin group that I'm supposed to SUDO add myself to?
[11:14] <vidd_laptop> yes... the SUDO group
[11:15] <Gerro> where is my camera album in xubuntu?
[11:15] <vidd_laptop> or is it SUDOer group....
[11:16] <Clarrisa_2008> vidd_laptop, what is the command to do that at the terminal??? I'm sorry to be a pain
[11:16] <vidd_laptop> uhhhhh
[11:17] <Clarrisa_2008> choo
[11:17] <vidd_laptop> sudo users-admin
[11:18] <vidd_laptop> go to "manage groups"
[11:18] <vidd_laptop> find the "admin" group
[11:19] <vidd_laptop> hit "properties"
[11:19] <vidd_laptop> and check your username
[11:19] <vidd_laptop> and let me know if that works for ya!
[11:21] <Tindora> How do I install VNC?
[11:21] <Lectus> have anyone heard of ubuntu lite?
[11:23] <Clarrisa_2008> vidd_laptop, users and groups doesn't let me in as it wants me to have admin rights.  so typing sudo users-admin it says "clarrisa is not in the sudoers file" this incident will be reported.  So I guess I'm getting reported to the department of homeland security, ;-) but that doesn't piss me off as much as not being able to manage anything in this box
[11:23] <vidd_laptop> then switch to SU.....
[11:23] <vidd_laptop> then users-admin
[11:24] <Tindora> What VNC-client is preferred?
[11:24] <vidd_laptop> the prefered client is which ever one works for you.....
[11:25] <vidd_laptop> but you might just as well use the one built right into linux
[11:25] <Pumpernickel> xvnc4viewer is not bad.
[11:25] <vidd_laptop> in the command line type vnc
[11:25] <Pumpernickel> !info xvnc4viewer
[11:25] <ubotu> xvnc4viewer: Virtual network computing client software for X. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.1.1+xorg1.0.2-0ubuntu4 (feisty), package size 140 kB, installed size 400 kB
[11:26] <Clarrisa_2008> vidd_laptop, ok, I'm able to go into manage users-groups and I hit properties on the admin group.  Now what?
[11:26] <vidd_laptop> err...nvrmd about default vnc comment
[11:27] <Tindora> I would like to run a VNC server, wierd name if xvnc4viewer works with that ;)
[11:28] <vidd_laptop> Clarrisa_2008, check your name
[11:28] <vidd_laptop> is it there?
[11:29] <Clarrisa_2008> vidd_laptop, when I click on the properties of admin group, there is myself, which I put a check mark in, and there is root, but there is also two blank lines with a check box as if there are two more empty users on my system what do I do about that?
[11:30] <vidd_laptop> Clarrisa_2008, did you USED TO HAVE two other users that have since been deleted?
[11:30] <Clarrisa_2008> vidd_laptop,Ii found out who one of the users is, but there is another user called fmaster.  What is that?
[11:30] <vidd_laptop> no idea
[11:30] <Tindora> I'm new to linux, how do I install a VNC server so my friend can help me? :)
[11:31] <Clarrisa_2008> vidd_laptop, I know who the one user is so I fixed that one, but I still do not know who fmaster is.
[11:31] <Jester45> he left work i will be back in about 30 mins
[11:31] <Jester45> o
[11:31] <Jester45> he told you
[11:33] <Clarrisa_2008> ok, well now my admin privledges are fixed....
[11:34] <Clarrisa_2008> vidd_laptop, thanks! that worked
[11:34] <Clarrisa_2008> I have another challenge though...
[11:35] <sigmamu188> shoot
[11:35] <Clarrisa_2008> when I click on the icon on my desktop that says ubuntu-server 6.06.1, I get the error message: "unable to ount ubuntu-server 6.06.1, failed to determin the mount point for /dev/hdd
[11:35] <Jester45> anyone know a easy way to sync a local folder to a remote one, i have http and ftp access
[11:36] <sigmamu188> Clarrisa_2008: i have no idea how to deal with that
[11:36] <sigmamu188> is your hdd mounted?
[11:36] <sigmamu188> in fstab?
[11:36] <Jester45> Clarrisa_2008: look in /etc/fstab and see if /dev/hdd has a mount point listed and if it does make sure that foler is emplty
[11:38] <Clarrisa_2008> jester45.... ok I will try that.... hey I am going nuts running back and forth from my linux box to this windows box.  What is a good Chat software that I can use on my ubuntu box so that I can just work from there????
[11:38] <Clarrisa_2008> is Xchat good and easy to install on xubuntu?
[11:38] <sigmamu188> xchat
[11:39] <sigmamu188> yea
[11:40] <Clarrisa_2008> sigmamu188, I went to seerofsouls.com to download one and they have 4 version for ubuntu 2.64, 2.66, 2.68 what one do I use?
[11:40] <sigmamu188> Clarrisa_2008: sudo apt-get install xchat
[11:41] <sigmamu188> just type that into terminal
[11:41] <Jester45> gaim is multi protcall
[11:41] <sigmamu188> i use gaim too
[11:41] <Clarrisa_2008> sigmamu188, whew thanks that is alot easier!
[11:41] <Jester45> gaim can do msn irc icq aim yahoo jabber
[11:42] <Jester45> and more
[11:42] <sigmamu188> then once it is installed all you have to do is type xchat in the terminal
[11:42] <Clarrisa_2008> kewl
[11:42] <sigmamu188> and it sould open it
[11:42] <sigmamu188> Clarrisa_2008: you can do the same thing to install gaim
[11:42] <sigmamu188> sudo apt-get install gaim
[11:43] <Clarrisa_2008> sigmamu188, thanks you rock!
[11:43] <sigmamu188> Jester45: i like gaim for everything but irc
[11:43] <Clarrisa_2008> sigmamu188, will those two conflict if I have them both installed?
[11:43] <sigmamu188> Clarrisa_2008: no
[11:43] <sigmamu188> Clarrisa_2008: well they dont for me
[11:44] <Clarrisa_2008> ok cooll
[11:44] <sigmamu188> Clarrisa_2008:  iam running both as we speak
[11:44] <Clarrisa_2008> righ ton
[11:44] <Clarrisa_2008> sp
[11:44] <Clarrisa_2008> brb, going to login over on the linux box
[11:44] <blaamann> Xfce Applications | Quit does not work for me, is that a known bug or is it just my box?
[11:45] <sigmamu188> blaamann: i dont know of any bugs
[11:45] <sigmamu188> i just use shutdown now -p in terminal
[11:45] <sigmamu188> or you could write a script so that you dont have to type all that
[11:45] <blaamann> Ok, because nothing happens. I kill X the hard way.
[11:46] <blaamann> ctrl-alt-Bakspace
[11:50] <Tindora> How do I start tightVNC-server? I'm new to linux (if you wanna explain, it would be nice to know)
[11:51] <sigmamu188> !tightVNC-server
[11:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tightvnc-server - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:53] <Tindora> :(
[11:53] <sigmamu188> http://www.tightvnc.com/
[11:55] <Tindora> Well, that documentation won't help me much since the site makes me wanna puke and I don't understand much in the unix-help-documentation
[11:56] <sigmamu188> Tindora: let me look over it and see if i can figure it out for you
[11:56] <sigmamu188> Tindora: i dont use the software but i might be able to help
[11:56] <Clarrisa_2008> ok, I'm back and I forgoto save what someone told me to do on the following:  when I try to click on the desktop icon that's labled "ubuntu-server 6.06.1 i386" I get the erro "unable to mount "ubuntu-server 6.06.1 i386": Failed to determine the  mount point for /dev/hdd
[11:56] <blaamann> Tindora:  I wild guess would be "vncserver"
[11:57] <Tindora> New 'X' desktop is hakkburk:12
[11:57] <Tindora> Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
[11:57] <Tindora> Log file is /root/.vnc/hakkburk:12.log
[11:57] <Tindora> root@hakkburk:/home/tobias#
[11:57] <Clarrisa_2008> there must be some sort of file I need to edit, but I can't remember what it is
[11:57] <sigmamu188> so you have the software installed right?
[11:57] <Tindora> sigmamu188: I think so, I really dunno, new to linux :)
[11:58] <sigmamu188> Clarrisa_2008: type: gksudo mousepad /etc/fstab
[11:58] <sigmamu188> then see if the mount point hdd is in there?
[11:58] <vidd_laptop> Clarrisa_2008, its sounds like the icon on your desktop is a shortcut to a hard drive....
[11:58] <vidd_laptop> Clarrisa_2008, is that right?
[11:58] <Tindora> sigmamu188: if you have any other VNCapplication you are familiar with and know how to set up a server for me. It would be nice.
[11:58] <Clarrisa_2008> vidd_laptop, yes I think so
[11:59] <sigmamu188> try typing sudo apt-get tightvncserver
[11:59] <sigmamu188> in terminal
[11:59] <Tindora> sigmamu188: I'd wrote that before, I must have installd it then ;)
[11:59] <blaamann> put in an "install"
[11:59] <Clarrisa_2008> sigmamul88, I have the fstab file in front of me...what am I looking for
[11:59] <sigmamu188> ohh yeah
[11:59] <sigmamu188> sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
[11:59] <Clarrisa_2008> sigmamul88, should I pastebin it for you?
[12:00] <Tindora> got'cha
[12:00] <sigmamu188> thanks blaamann
[12:00] <Tindora> it's installed
[12:00] <sigmamu188> they just type vncserver
[12:00] <sigmamu188> go for it
[12:00] <sigmamu188> Clarrisa_2008:
[12:01] <sigmamu188> Tindora: after you type vncserver it shoud ask for a pw
[12:01] <sigmamu188> and make you re enter it
[12:01] <sigmamu188> then it should be up an running
[12:01] <sigmamu188> atleast the server
[12:01] <Clarrisa_2008> sigmamu188, ok this is dumb but I don't have the pastebin url
[12:01] <Clarrisa_2008> !pastebin
[12:01] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[12:01] <Clarrisa_2008> ok here goes
[12:02] <vidd_laptop> Clarrisa_2008, i assume you fixed the sudo thing?
[12:02] <sigmamu188> Clarrisa_2008: you are looking for a line documenting the mound of hdd
[12:02] <sigmamu188> Clarrisa_2008: let me know when you have it pasted i totally missed the line you typed earlier
[12:03] <sigmamu188> lol
[12:03] <sigmamu188> Tindora: any luck?
[12:03] <Clarrisa_2008> vidd_laptop, works great, thanks a ton
[12:03] <Clarrisa_2008> glad I now have a light-weight GUI on my linux box that..xubuntu is cool...  I have to have a gui that I can use some of the time...
[12:04] <Clarrisa_2008> np
[12:04] <Clarrisa_2008> my desktop is WAY to big, can't fit anything on it...where do I go to adjust the resolution here???  i've only had the xubuntu install for 20 minutes now
[12:04] <Clarrisa_2008> so I'm lost a little again
[12:06] <Tindora> sigmamu188: nope no luck at all
[12:06] <sigmamu188> did you type vncserver
[12:08] <Clarrisa_2008> sigmamu188:  ttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22783/
[12:08] <Clarrisa_2008> sigmamu188:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22783/  oops
[12:08] <sigmamu188> ok hdd is a cdrom drive
[12:08] <Clarrisa_2008> how do I adjust my desktop resolution???
[12:09] <Tindora> sigmamu188:  yes I did
[12:09] <Clarrisa_2008> I can fit anything on it
[12:09] <blaamann> Tindora: Try localhost:5800 in your web browser
[12:09] <sigmamu188> are you trying to save something to the diks?
[12:09] <sigmamu188> disk*
[12:09] <Clarrisa_2008> sigmamul88, should I be able to change the icon to be sort of a "my computer" windoze type thing that looks at my hard drive and not hte cdrom
[12:09] <Clarrisa_2008> nope
[12:10] <sigmamu188> you want to see you hd files is that the problem?
[12:10] <Clarrisa_2008> that Icon was on the desktop when I first installed xubuntu
[12:10] <sigmamu188> ohhhh
[12:10] <Clarrisa_2008> yes... a "my computer icon"
[12:10] <sigmamu188> have you rebooted since you install?

[12:10] <Tindora> Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:5800.
[12:10] <ubotu> Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam - and most importantly, use common sense :-)
[12:10] <Tindora> SRY :(
[12:10] <Clarrisa_2008> I could try again and do it
[12:11] <sigmamu188> take the cd rom out
[12:11] <sigmamu188> then reboot
[12:11] <sigmamu188> to make sure you booting off the hd
[12:11] <sigmamu188> and not the live cd
[12:11] <Clarrisa_2008> the hole line?
[12:11] <Clarrisa_2008> whole
[12:12] <sigmamu188> there isint a mycomputer icom
[12:12] <sigmamu188> icon
[12:12] <Clarrisa_2008> oh ok
[12:12] <sigmamu188> see the little icon in the top right corner?
[12:12] <Clarrisa_2008> so is there no "file manger" type thingy?
[12:12] <sigmamu188> err
[12:12] <sigmamu188> left cornor
[12:12] <sigmamu188> yes there is a file manager
[12:13] <sigmamu188> you can type thunar in the terminal
[12:13] <Clarrisa_2008> well there is an applications, and a firefox icon on the top left... xchat on the top right and an exit icon
[12:13] <sigmamu188> click applications
[12:13] <sigmamu188> accessoriest
[12:13] <sigmamu188> accessories*
[12:13] <sigmamu188> then thunar
[12:13] <Clarrisa_2008> my accessories menu doesn't have a thunar
[12:14] <Clarrisa_2008> system does though...I think I found it
[12:14] <sigmamu188> try opening the terminal window and typing thunar
[12:14] <sigmamu188> ok
[12:14] <sigmamu188> click on that one
[12:14] <Clarrisa_2008> ok, cool, this is good
[12:14] <Clarrisa_2008> can I make a shortcut to that on my desktop?
[12:15] <sigmamu188> right click on the desktop
[12:15] <Clarrisa_2008> k
[12:15] <sigmamu188> and chose create launcher
[12:15] <Clarrisa_2008> k
[12:15] <sigmamu188> gimme one sec
[12:16] <sigmamu188> let me make sure im going to tell you the right thing
[12:16] <sigmamu188> ok
[12:16] <sigmamu188> are you at the screen that says name, comment, command?
[12:17] <Clarrisa_2008> ok, I got it, I clicked on the command icon and did a search in the list and found thunar.... new name for a file manger at least for me.  it works now
[12:18] <sigmamu188> Clarrisa_2008:
[12:18] <Clarrisa_2008> ok, I got it, I clicked on the command icon and did a search in the list and found thunar.... new name for a file manger at least for me.  it works now
[12:18] <sigmamu188> sorry accidentally killed xchat
[12:18] <Clarrisa_2008> no problem
[12:18] <sigmamu188> so its working ?
[12:19] <sigmamu188> i actually perfer krusader as my file manager
[12:19] <Clarrisa_2008> this is weird though.  I took out the cd that was in my cd drive and now that icon that was on the desktop is gone
[12:19] <sigmamu188> it has dual window panes
[12:19] <sigmamu188> yea
[12:19] <Clarrisa_2008> how do i get krusader
[12:19] <Clarrisa_2008> I like dual panes as well
[12:19] <sigmamu188> sudo apt-get install krusader
[12:19] <Clarrisa_2008> of COURSE
[12:20] <sigmamu188> dont feel bad youll  get used to linux
[12:20] <sigmamu188> im still learning
[12:20] <Clarrisa_2008> is there no way to change my resolution though?  this is very weird
[12:20] <sigmamu188> check in applications>settings>display settings
[12:20] <sigmamu188> you may have to do it another way but try that first
[12:21] <Clarrisa_2008> oh ok cool
[12:21] <Clarrisa_2008> that's the ticket
[12:21] <sigmamu188> anyone remember the command for xconfig?
[12:21] <Jester45> if that way doesnt work you have to edit your xorg.conf with: gksu mousepad /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[12:21] <sigmamu188> thanks Jester45 that was just what i couldnt remember
[12:22] <sigmamu188> isint there a way to run it via the gui
[12:22] <sigmamu188> like in the origional setup
[12:23] <sigmamu188> with the blue screen?
[12:23] <sigmamu188> i had to do it that way when i installed my nvidea drivers
[12:23] <TheSheep> sigmamu188: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:23] <sigmamu188> thanks
[12:24] <sigmamu188> TheSheep: MY HERO!!!
[12:24] <sigmamu188> thats going into the notebook
[12:25] <Clarrisa_2008> how do I run the tightvncserver after I've installed it
[12:25] <sigmamu188> type vncserver
[12:25] <sigmamu188> in terminal
[12:26] <Clarrisa_2008> kewl
[12:28] <sigmamu188> or rather type tightvncserver
[12:31] <Clarrisa_2008> krusader reminds me of wincommander or total commander.  I like it
[12:31] <sigmamu188> good comparison
[12:32] <TheSheep> onle the ctrl+left and ctrl+right don't work in it like in WC, which is a great shame
[12:32] <TheSheep> only
[12:33] <sigmamu188> what did the ctrl+left do?
[12:33] <sigmamu188> move files?


[03:57] <Kamilion> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VividVervert/ReleaseNotes    "Ververt" ? Can someone fix the lubuntu release notes -> ubuntu release notes link?
[03:59] <Unit193> !itsawiki
[04:00] <Kamilion> I can?
[04:00] <Kamilion> That's... kind of stupid. What prevents it from getting destroyed by bots and spammers then?
[04:01] <Kamilion> *sigh* and the stupid ubuntu one SSO service is humped for me again.
[04:02] <Kamilion> Okay, page is immutable
[04:02] <Kamilion> that's what I thought.
[04:02] <Kamilion> *sigh*
[04:04] <Kamilion> ah, now it freaking works
[04:05] <Kamilion> okay, fixed it.
[04:05] <Kamilion> woo.
[04:05] <Kamilion> okay, well, that certainly explains why there's no bots and spammers
[04:05] <Kamilion> holy SMOKES that was hard to log in
[04:07] <Unit193> You did it in under 10 minutes, so that was pretty fast.
[04:07] <Kamilion> it should have been 2.5 seconds.
[04:08] <Kamilion> not 'why won't wiki.ubuntu.com respond when the SSO tries to redirect to it?'
[04:08] <Kamilion> and then just as mysteriously log me in, at least a minute after my last try
[04:09] <Kamilion> *sigh* infrastructure. Can't live without it, can't strangle it either.
[09:20] <silverlion> o/ folk
[09:20]  * silverlion needs the md5sum of the 15.04 release
[09:23] <silverlion> disregard ... found the link myself
[18:21] <silverlion> aloha folks
[18:27] <wxl> gsilva: expect a testimonital from me shortly
[18:28] <gsilva> why's that, wxl ? I thought you couldn't do it
[18:28] <gsilva> hi, silverlion
[18:28] <silverlion> gsilva: expect one from me too ;)
[18:28] <wxl> i've gotten word from the board that a testimonial should not be considered a conflict of interest, as long as our relationship is kept in the open when it comes time to vote
[18:28] <gsilva> I see
[18:28] <wxl> apparently there is a precedent for this
[18:29]  * wxl is on the bus right now
[18:29] <gsilva> well, belkinsa said she could but she has to request permission to the rest of the board/commission
[18:29] <gsilva> As I said to her, if it is too troublesome for you guys, it is okay :)
[18:29] <silverlion> wxl: short update: I'll be prepresenting lubuntu in november in a major conference of opensource
[18:29] <wxl> from what hggdh said that's not true
[18:30] <silverlion> together with the german LoCo Team
[18:30] <wxl> excellent, silverlion
[18:30] <wxl> what help do you need from the team?
[18:30]  * wxl loves his new folding bluetooth keyboard!
[18:31] <silverlion> I'll have everything that I need ^^
[18:31] <silverlion> An old laptop with Lubuntu on it to show off
[18:31] <wxl> ok sounds good. if you do need anything, let me know!
[18:31] <silverlion> wxl: willco
[18:32]  * wxl took the raspberry pi2 to linux fest northwest, but has no display to show it off on! oops!
[18:32] <wxl> i'll just "borrow" the hotel tv XD
[18:32] <silverlion> *gg*
[18:32] <silverlion> the week after next one I'll also be available for uos
[18:32] <wxl> oh awesome
[18:33] <wxl> i think we should also schedule a planning session
[18:33] <silverlion> yeah but I've already promised to help out as a moderator
[18:33] <wxl> or at least some time where ALL of the admins can get together and talk about what's going on
[18:33] <ianorlin> wxl +1 on planning session
[18:33] <wxl> oh
[18:33] <gsilva> wxl, wet or dry lubes for your bike chain rings?
[18:33] <wxl> yeah balloons tried to get me to run the show and tell track and i had to say no
[18:33] <gsilva> That's good thing, silverlion :)
[18:34] <wxl> gsilva: wet. you'll apply it more but it works better, though it does pick up more dirt and grime.
[18:34] <wxl> i need to figure out how we're going to do this demo
[18:34] <wxl> i'd like to put one of the devs in charge of that rather than me
[18:34] <wxl> i'm wearing my lubuntu qa shirt to linux fest north west
[18:34] <wxl> btw soon i will have infos about how to get your own
[18:37] <wxl> well i'm going to write gsilva a testimonial
[18:37] <gsilva> haha, thank you, wxl :)
[18:37] <wxl> i'm on the phone so hilight me if you need me
[18:37] <gsilva> silverlion, you can write one too if you can :)
[18:37] <wxl> it'll beee :(
[18:37] <wxl> oops
[18:37] <wxl> beep :)
[18:38] <wxl> the only thing i don't like about this wee little keyboard is the size of the number keys and the other keys on the top row
[18:38] <wxl> ok off
[19:22] <wxl> done gsilva. let me know if there's anything you want tweaked
[19:25] <wxl> hopefully phillw will give a testimonial, too!
[19:25] <wxl> now that the membership board has at least two lubuntu members it would seem his testimonial should be given equal weight :(
[19:25] <wxl> argh stupid keyboard
[19:26] <wxl> i mean :)
[19:26]  * wxl neeeds to figure out how to get .XCompose working on android
[19:35] <silverlion> ok folks, I've got a bunch of files to sweep through in order to prep them for tomorrow's office hours
[19:35] <silverlion> that's why I'm closing this now
[19:35] <silverlion> gn8
[23:22] <gsilva> back
[23:22] <gsilva> thank you, wxl, very kind of you :)
