| [01:21] <cnstarz> anyone here? :( | |
| [01:22] <ere4si> cnstarz, what's up? | |
| [01:22] <cnstarz> hooray thank you | |
| [01:22] <cnstarz> ok | |
| [01:22] <cnstarz> im trying to follow the... | |
| [01:22] <cnstarz> NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition | |
| [01:22] <cnstarz> however | |
| [01:22] <cnstarz> when i type in "sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | |
| [01:23] <cnstarz> it asks for my password and... | |
| [01:23] <cnstarz> it says... | |
| [01:23] <cnstarz> one sec | |
| [01:23] <ere4si> why would it say "one sec"? | |
| [01:23] <ere4si> :) | |
| [01:23] <cnstarz> no im saying one sec | |
| [01:23] <cnstarz> im trying to copy it | |
| [01:23] <ere4si> :) | |
| [01:24] <ere4si> k | |
| [01:24] <cnstarz> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57404/ | |
| [01:24] <cnstarz> and then... | |
| [01:24] <cnstarz> when i press enter... | |
| [01:24] <cnstarz> i get... | |
| [01:25] <cnstarz> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57405/ | |
| [01:26] <ere4si> did you delete the file in /tmp? | |
| [01:26] <cnstarz> no, i dont know how to :( | |
| [01:26] <cnstarz> im new to linux | |
| [01:26] <ere4si> sorry - /var/tmp | |
| [01:26] <cnstarz> i dont know linux commands yet | |
| [01:26] <cnstarz> :O | |
| [01:27] <ere4si> sudo rm -v /var/tmp/xorg.conf.swp | |
| [01:27] <cnstarz> okay i'll try that | |
| [01:27] <ere4si> k | |
| [01:28] <cnstarz> okay it worked, and this is what i get now: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57406/ | |
| [01:28] <cnstarz> this is the guide im following: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition | |
| [01:29] <ere4si> you need to redo your xorg - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | |
| [01:30] <cnstarz> what does that do? | |
| [01:30] <cnstarz> not that i dont trust you, im just curious as to what exactly it does :) | |
| [01:30] <ere4si> sets up the xorg.conf file again | |
| [01:30] <cnstarz> alrighty | |
| [01:31] <cnstarz> is this gonna disrupt/change my current display drivers? | |
| [01:32] <ere4si> during the dpkg you get to choose the driver for your card | |
| [01:32] <ere4si> if you installed one it will be listed | |
| [01:32] <cnstarz> i'll get to choose the restricted drivers for my 8800gtx? | |
| [01:32] <ere4si> if you installed it yes | |
| [01:33] <cnstarz> thanks, im really ignorant :P | |
| [01:33] <ere4si> k:) | |
| [01:35] <cnstarz> alright its asking me to choose a driver, so i guess i should pick the nvidia one since i dont see anything related to "restricted" or any other nvidia-related drviers | |
| [01:37] <ere4si> nvidia is the one | |
| [01:41] <eca> i just attached 2 hdds, how do i move files around on them. i see them in /dev/disk and gparted. but thunar cant open them | |
| [01:44] <ere4si> eca: they will be listed in /dev - you will need to make a dir to mount them in | |
| [01:45] <ere4si> eca: /dev/sdb or similar | |
| [01:47] <cnstarz> alright i finished reconfiguring xorg.conf, but when i do "sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf", it still looks like http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57406/ | |
| [01:47] <cnstarz> should i have to reboot or something? | |
| [01:47] <eca> sudo mount /dev/sdb /home/ace/sdb says mount: you must specify the filesystem type | |
| [01:47] <eca> ext3? | |
| [01:47] <ere4si> cnstarz, you need to log out and in | |
| [01:48] <cnstarz> alrighty | |
| [01:48] <ere4si> eca: does the dir /home/ace/sdb exist before you mount? | |
| [01:48] <eca> yes | |
| [01:49] <eca> thunar doesnt do this automatically? | |
| [01:49] <ere4si> eca: is the sdb a windows disk? | |
| [01:49] <eca> no | |
| [01:49] <eca> ext2 i think or 3 | |
| [01:49] <ere4si> linux? - then sudo mount -t ext3 etc | |
| [01:50] <cnstarz> logged out and logged back in and it still looks like http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57406/ :( | |
| [01:50] <ere4si> cnstarz, what *buntu are you using? | |
| [01:50] <cnstarz> xubuntu | |
| [01:51] <ere4si> try sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf | |
| [01:51] <cnstarz> whats that one do? | |
| [01:51] <ere4si> cnstarz, the x in X11 has to be a capital.... | |
| [01:52] <cnstarz> hmm | |
| [01:52] <cnstarz> haha it worked now | |
| [01:52] <ere4si> mousepad is the text editor in xubuntu | |
| [01:52] <cnstarz> i didn't know linux was that picky | |
| [01:52] <ere4si> yah | |
| [01:53] <cnstarz> well thanks man | |
| [01:53] <ere4si> all case sensitive - x11 is different to X11 | |
| [01:53] <cnstarz> much appreciate | |
| [01:53] <ere4si> np | |
| [01:53] <ere4si> did the same thing years ago when I first started | |
| [01:56] <eca> ty ere4si it works | |
| [01:56] <ere4si> happy for you eca | |
| [03:03] <cnstarz> alrighty... | |
| [03:03] <cnstarz> so | |
| [03:03] <ere4si> ... | |
| [03:03] <cnstarz> i followed the guide | |
| [03:03] <cnstarz> and | |
| [03:04] <cnstarz> the tv just goes gray after grub | |
| [03:04] <cnstarz> it becomes unresponsive | |
| [03:04] <cnstarz> i've exhausted all possibilities that i know of | |
| [03:05] <ere4si> you'll need to dpkg again and start the guide again | |
| [03:05] <cnstarz> i did | |
| [03:05] <cnstarz> like three times | |
| [03:05] <cnstarz> :( | |
| [03:05] <cnstarz> im doing it exactly as it says too | |
| [03:05] <cnstarz> it just doesnt like my tv | |
| [03:05] <ere4si> are you in the recovery kernel? | |
| [03:05] <ere4si> live cd? | |
| [03:06] <cnstarz> i was on here first, in terminal. i saved it, shut down, plugged the tv in, then started it back up | |
| [03:06] <cnstarz> and got the gray screen | |
| [03:06] <cnstarz> then | |
| [03:06] <cnstarz> i went thru recovoery console | |
| [03:06] <cnstarz> and tried it again thru there | |
| [03:06] <cnstarz> same thing | |
| [03:06] <cnstarz> i mean | |
| [03:06] <cnstarz> i reconfigured throuh recovoery console | |
| [03:06] <cnstarz> i didn't follow the guide through the console | |
| [03:07] <cnstarz> i followed the guide only on here | |
| [03:07] <ere4si> what's the link to the guide again? | |
| [03:07] <cnstarz> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition | |
| [03:07] <ere4si> and your tv model | |
| [03:07] <cnstarz> sony wega | |
| [03:07] <cnstarz> 51" | |
| [03:08] <cnstarz> lemee see if i can find the exact model name | |
| [03:08] <cnstarz> http://www.epinions.com/pr-Sony_Grand_WEGA_KDP-51WS550_51_in_Rear_Projection_HDTV_Television | |
| [03:09] <cnstarz> the tv connects through component into a video dongle that looks similiar to svid, but isn't svid | |
| [03:09] <cnstarz> which then plugs right into my card, next to the two dvi connections | |
| [03:10] <ere4si> in a terminal type lspci and look for the card - should have two listings | |
| [03:10] <cnstarz> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57421/ | |
| [03:11] <cnstarz> didn't mean to quit out | |
| [03:12] <ere4si> can you post your xorg.conf? | |
| [03:12] <cnstarz> sure | |
| [03:12] <cnstarz> one sec | |
| [03:13] <cnstarz> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57422/ | |
| [03:15] <ere4si> ok - now you have a standard xorg.conf - nothing for your tv | |
| [03:15] <cnstarz> you can see the svid-like connection that im talking about here: http://www.hummercommunity.com/files/hfpics/8800GTX_768_PCIe_WC_Side.jpg | |
| [03:15] <cnstarz> right | |
| [03:15] <ere4si> you have to do the guide again - but before you save it post it and I'll check :) | |
| [03:16] <cnstarz> alrighty | |
| [03:19] <cnstarz> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57423/ | |
| [03:22] <Knowledge> anybody in here have any experience with toshiba tecra 8100 laptop and xubuntu installs? I can't seem to get anywhere with it...just black screen of death or system reset | |
| [03:25] <ere4si> cnstarz, 1st section device - remove usefb line and add screen (0) | |
| [03:26] <ere4si> screen 0 | |
| [03:26] <cnstarz> so it should look like Option "screen 0" "true"? | |
| [03:26] <cnstarz> oh you mean remove the whole line | |
| [03:27] <ere4si> nope - look at the guide | |
| [03:27] <cnstarz> hmmm | |
| [03:27] <cnstarz> oh i c | |
| [03:28] <cnstarz> i remember doing that last time, but i added it under the usefb | |
| [03:28] <cnstarz> i'll try replacing it this time | |
| [03:31] <ere4si> that line in screen - Screen 1 "Screen[1]" RightOf "Screen[0]" - means you have to have both screens going at the same time | |
| [03:31] <cnstarz> right | |
| [03:31] <ere4si> k | |
| [03:32] <ere4si> ok - save the file - then connect the tv - then ctrl+alt+backspace and login | |
| [03:32] <cnstarz> alrighty, here goes | |
| [03:35] <cnstarz> what the crap, it worked | |
| [03:35] <cnstarz> murphy's law! | |
| [03:35] <ere4si> yah :) | |
| [03:35] <ere4si> have got to be accurate :) | |
| [03:35] <cnstarz> what would i have to edit to get it to show up only on the tv now? | |
| [03:35] <ere4si> let me look | |
| [03:36] <cnstarz> thanks, i really appreciate it | |
| [03:38] <ere4si> put a # in front of "Right like - Screen 1 "Screen[1]" #RightOf "Screen[0]" - save an ctrl+alt+bspc | |
| [03:38] <ere4si> *and | |
| [03:39] <cnstarz> alrighty | |
| [03:40] <cnstarz> so it should look like this: | |
| [03:40] <cnstarz> Screen 1 "Screen[1]" #RightOf "Screen[0]" | |
| [03:41] <cnstarz> with "Screen 0 "Screen[0]"" right above it? | |
| [03:42] <ere4si> all the same except for the # in front of "Right" | |
| [03:43] <ere4si> yep | |
| [03:43] <cnstarz> so it should look like this, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57424/ | |
| [03:43] <cnstarz> im just making sure im understanding you correctly | |
| [03:44] <ere4si> yep and yep | |
| [03:44] <cnstarz> alrighty | |
| [03:45] <cnstarz> here we go... | |
| [03:45] <cnstarz> negative | |
| [03:45] <cnstarz> the desktop is still there on my tv, but now i just cant move the mouse into it | |
| [03:45] <ere4si> on both one or none? | |
| [03:46] <ere4si> k | |
| [03:46] <ere4si> ok - undo what we just did and save and ctrl+alt+bksp while have a search | |
| [03:47] <cnstarz> alrighty | |
| [03:47] <cnstarz> what if i did this? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57427/ | |
| [03:51] <ere4si> ok - found a howto | |
| [03:51] <cnstarz> ok | |
| [03:51] <cnstarz> brb | |
| [03:52] <cnstarz> back | |
| [03:54] <ere4si> in the first device section put a # in front of screen 0 - like # screen 0 | |
| [03:54] <cnstarz> got it | |
| [03:55] <cnstarz> should i restart x? | |
| [03:56] <cnstarz> or are you still looking? | |
| [03:56] <ere4si> and in the server section | |
| [03:56] <ere4si> put a # like - #Screen 0 "Screen[0]" | |
| [03:56] <cnstarz> got it | |
| [03:57] <ere4si> restart x then | |
| [03:57] <cnstarz> alrighty | |
| [04:04] <ere4si> oops | |
| [04:06] <cnstarz> negative | |
| [04:07] <cnstarz> it seems like it tried to make my monitor display in hdtv | |
| [04:07] <cnstarz> monitor display was all garbled, and TV didn't work at all | |
| [04:08] <David_> What is the system requirements for this distro? | |
| [04:08] <David_> i have a 500 mhz with 192 mbs of ram | |
| [04:09] <David_> can i run? | |
| [04:09] <ere4si> David_, yep - but 192mbs ram is the min for the live cd | |
| [04:10] <ere4si> will run ok when installed | |
| [04:10] <cnstarz> brb | |
| [04:10] <ere4si> k | |
| [04:10] <David_> Awesome :D do i need to download the alternative install cd or the regular version | |
| [04:10] <David_> i couldn't get ubuntu to wok | |
| [04:10] <ere4si> David_, with that mem I would use the alternate cd | |
| [04:11] <David_> okay | |
| [04:11] <ere4si> cnstarz, you set it up for hdtv - try ntsc or pal - the guide says what is right for your area | |
| [04:12] <David_> will the gusty gibbon work? | |
| [04:12] <ere4si> David_, yep | |
| [04:12] <David_> awesome, Thanks sooo much lol, windows xp runs a tad slow on that old machine | |
| [04:12] <David_> lol | |
| [04:13] <ere4si> cnstarz, we forgot a # in front of "Right " to block the last screen 0 | |
| [04:16] <ere4si> brb | |
| [04:30] <cnstarz> alrighty im back | |
| [04:30] <cnstarz> sorry | |
| [04:30] <ere4si> . | |
| [04:30] <cnstarz> what did you say? | |
| [04:30] <ere4si> k | |
| [04:31] <ere4si> and is it ok? | |
| [04:31] <cnstarz> im back to the piont where both screens are up | |
| [04:31] <ere4si> great - lets make a backup of that xorg.conf | |
| [04:32] <cnstarz> alrighty | |
| [04:32] <cnstarz> is there a way to restore the backup from recovery console? | |
| [04:32] <ere4si> sudo cp -v /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak | |
| [04:33] <ere4si> for the backup | |
| [04:33] <cnstarz> that backs it up or restores it? | |
| [04:33] <ere4si> backups | |
| [04:33] <cnstarz> gotcha | |
| [04:34] <ere4si> then to restore - cp -v /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf | |
| [04:34] <ere4si> from recovery you don't njeed sudo | |
| [04:34] <ere4si> *need | |
| [04:34] <cnstarz> alrighy | |
| [04:34] <cnstarz> this'll save a lot of time | |
| [04:35] <ere4si> :)) | |
| [04:35] <ere4si> I missed one # in our last effort - in front of "Right" in the server section | |
| [04:36] <ere4si> and have you changed it from hdtv to pal or ntsc? | |
| [04:36] <cnstarz> nope | |
| [04:36] <cnstarz> its still on hdtv | |
| [04:36] <cnstarz> the edge kinda clips | |
| [04:36] <ere4si> look in the guide for what you need in your area | |
| [04:36] <cnstarz> alrighty | |
| [04:38] <ere4si> just change the hdtv part and test - if it's ok we'll back that up first cnstarz | |
| [04:38] <cnstarz> so it should look like this? | |
| [04:38] <cnstarz> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57429/ | |
| [04:39] <ere4si> and with the # screen 0 in the first device section | |
| [04:41] <cnstarz> ah ok | |
| [04:41] <ere4si> so that's 3 #'s added cnstarz | |
| [04:41] <cnstarz> right | |
| [04:42] <cnstarz> and i changed HD1080i to NTSC-M | |
| [04:42] <cnstarz> saved, here goes | |
| [04:42] <ere4si> if you've changed the hdtv part then restartx | |
| [04:42] <ere4si> k | |
| [04:48] <cnstarz> nope didn't work | |
| [04:49] <cnstarz> monitor became garbled, and tv stayed blank... | |
| [04:49] <cnstarz> then... | |
| [04:49] <cnstarz> i unplugged the monitor and rebooted | |
| [04:49] <ere4si> . | |
| [04:49] <cnstarz> and the tv turned gray | |
| [04:49] <cnstarz> and got stuck | |
| [04:49] <cnstarz> like before | |
| [04:49] <cnstarz> so i plugged the monitor back in and restored that backup | |
| [04:49] <ere4si> have you used the backup file to get back? | |
| [04:49] <ere4si> k | |
| [04:49] <cnstarz> yes | |
| [04:50] <ere4si> the howtos that I can find all have just one device section and are a little old | |
| [04:50] <cnstarz> hmm | |
| [04:51] <ere4si> I wonder if we comment out the first device section and the screen 0 lines whether that will do the job | |
| [04:51] <cnstarz> wouldn't hurt to try | |
| [04:51] <ere4si> # = comment out | |
| [04:52] <ere4si> then the first device section - every line should start with # | |
| [04:52] <cnstarz> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57432/ | |
| [04:53] <ere4si> and the section screen with screen 0 - the first one | |
| [04:54] <cnstarz> hmm? | |
| [04:54] <ere4si> and the line in the server section with screen 0 and before "Right" | |
| [04:55] <cnstarz> i got the server one commented out | |
| [04:55] <ere4si> there are two section "screen" - the first should be commented out as that is the monitor | |
| [04:55] <cnstarz> ohh | |
| [04:56] <cnstarz> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57433/ | |
| [04:57] <ere4si> paste the whole xorg pls | |
| [04:57] <cnstarz> that should be the whole thing | |
| [04:58] <ere4si> yep - be brave and have another go :) | |
| [04:58] <cnstarz> ;P | |
| [04:58] <cnstarz> brb | |
| [04:58] <ere4si> k | |
| [05:03] <cnstarz> nope | |
| [05:03] <cnstarz> lol | |
| [05:03] <cnstarz> i think it hates my tv | |
| [05:03] <ere4si> I should have looked closer - in the server section you put the # in the wrong place - | |
| [05:03] <cnstarz> same exact thing as before | |
| [05:03] <cnstarz> BAH | |
| [05:03] <ere4si> should be next to the "Right" | |
| [05:04] <cnstarz> ohhhh | |
| [05:04] <cnstarz> ya i see | |
| [05:04] <ere4si> do it again and repaste the xorg pls - if you want :) | |
| [05:04] <cnstarz> yeppir | |
| [05:11] <cnStarz> nope | |
| [05:11] <cnStarz> same thing | |
| [05:11] <cnStarz> i think i'm done for tonight, wife is home and wants to watch a movie | |
| [05:11] <cnStarz> i really appreciate all your help | |

| [08:25] <burner> hi! i'm trying to install xubuntu in my carputer, using a 7" LCD monitor | |
| [08:25] <burner> when X (i guess) starts, the screen is filled with noise - which slowly fades away.. | |
| [08:27] <burner> hard to explain.. its like a big blue cloud - becoming smaller, and eventually the screen is all white | |
| [08:34] <zoredache> a 7" monitor? | |
| [08:36] <burner> zoredache, yeah.. | |
| [08:37] <burner> hm | |
| [08:37] <burner> 8" actually | |
| [08:37] <zoredache> You might want to try the alternate install cd | |

| [14:41] <nazdalf> ohh ty fr replying....i need to check my graphic driver n graphic card | |
| [14:41] <nazdalf> i m trying to install aiglx (for compiz) | |
| [14:42] <maxamillion> ah | |
| [14:42] <maxamillion> nazdalf: open a terminal and type 'lspci | grep ATI' and see if that returns anything | |
| [14:44] <nazdalf> maxamillion: it dsnt return nething..... | |
| [14:44] <maxamillion> nazdalf: ok, try 'lspci | grep ati' (the capitalization matters and i've never had an ati card do i don't know how it reads) | |
| [14:45] <nazdalf> maxamillion: my xorg.conf has this in it......Section "Device" | |
| [14:45] <nazdalf> Identifier "Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller" | |
| [14:45] <nazdalf> Driver "intel" | |
| [14:45] <nazdalf> BusID "PCI:0:2:0" | |
| [14:45] <nazdalf> EndSection | |
| [14:46] <maxamillion> nazdalf: uhmmm... you sure you have an ATI graphics card? | |
| [14:46] <nazdalf> no clue...i hav an HP a1210in desktop PC | |
| [14:47] <nazdalf> maxamillion: ur 2nd command here returned lots of things on terminal....among other things it gives... Intel Corporation 82915G/P/GV/GL/PL/910GL Memory Controller Hub (rev 04) | |
| [14:47] <nazdalf> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 04) | |
| [14:49] <maxamillion> nazdalf: ah, ok ... sorry, i thought you said fglrx, but you said aiglx | |
| [14:49] <maxamillion> you have intel integrated ... appears to be a 915 chipset, i think that one can do compisiting, lemme get you some documentation | |
| [14:50] <nazdalf> maxamillion: yes..do u happen to kno things about tht....Wiki says,supported on embedded Intel i810 through i965 graphics cards....does mine qualify? | |
| [14:51] <maxamillion> nazdalf: yes | |
| [14:52] <nazdalf> maxamillion: thts gr8....ty....btw, as i understand it, to get aiglx configuerd fr my PC all i need to do is add sm code to xorg.conf?? | |
| [14:53] <maxamillion> nazdalf: yes, that should be all you need since you have the correct intel driver in the config file already | |
| [14:55] <nazdalf> maxamillion: ty for ur help......err, do u hav compiz on ur PC?? i mean since i m new to linux i shud do sm basic things instead of trying to get compiz to run...lol... | |
| [14:56] <maxamillion> nazdalf: i used compiz for a short time, but it ultimately didn't add any functionality and certain effects annoyed me, i don't use it anymore | |
| [14:56] <nazdalf> ohh..... | |
| [14:57] <maxamillion> nazdalf: its cool for showing to your windows using friends and saying "look what else windows can't do" but other than that i didn't find it very useful, i'm a full time college student with a full time job, i don't have time to not be productive | |
| [15:02] <nazdalf> maxamillion: ohh ....ya...i m installing it jst fr tinkeeing around with linux...;-)...i m a full tym coll student wid no job :)) | |
| [15:04] <maristo> hi | |
| [15:05] <nazdalf> hello...... | |
| [15:05] <maristo> where .trash-bin directory is situated? | |
| [15:05] <maristo> i mean, desktop's bin | |
| [15:06] <maxamillion> maristo: i don't remember, just a moment | |
| [15:06] <maristo> I need delete files there, manually, with root privilegies, but don't know it's location in fs | |
| [15:09] <maxamillion> maristo: oh, well you can just launch thunar with root privilages ... open a terminal and type "gksu thunar" it will prompt for the password and then you have a file manager with root privilages :) | |
| [15:10] <maristo> good | |
| [15:11] <maristo> haha | |
| [15:11] <maxamillion> ? | |
| [15:11] <maristo> there is root's bin only | |
| [15:11] <nazdalf> maxamillion: wow...so can we open n edit files thru ther?? no need fr sudo mousepad filename | |
| [15:11] <maristo> i must to know location of user's bin | |
| [15:12] <maxamillion> maristo: ok, this time instead of doing 'gksu thunar' try 'gksudo thunar' | |
| [15:14] <maristo> same thing, only root's bin | |
| [15:16] <maxamillion> hmmm | |
| [15:16] <maxamillion> ok, just a sec | |
| [15:22] <nazdalf> umm...i m confused with smthing i apparently hav 910GL and GMA 900 graphics.....whts d driver?? | |
| [15:24] <maxamillion> nazdalf: should just be 'intel' driver | |
| [15:29] <nazdalf> maxamillion: thnks a lot again.... | |
| [15:30] <maxamillion> nazdalf: anytime | |
| [15:36] <xubuN> WLAN driver help needed with xubuntu , is ndiswrapper preinstalled? | |
| [15:41] <maxamillion> xubuN: no, i don't believe it is installed by default | |
| [15:43] <xubuN> thanx, for an old (2003-4) pcmcia WLAN card, should be the 1st try the ndiswrapper? | |
| [15:46] <maxamillion> xubuN: it depends on that card chipset | |
| [15:47] <maxamillion> xubuN: it might have support | |
| [15:53] <xubuN> chipset not able to find on the net, any tips for SIEMENS SANTIS PCMCIA wifi card? | |
| [16:51] <eca> im increasing a partition from 230 to 233 gb and its been 8 hrs with 3 hrs to go, somebody kill me plz. gparted says if i stop the process severe damage may result, and its important data. | |
| [16:53] <maxamillion> eca: yeah .... with a partition that big, if there is a lot of data ... it will take quite a while | |
| [16:56] <Buff> i'd like to make the xubuntu-desktop optional by having my system boot to the terminal by default so I can use the desktop only when I need it (this is a server). It seems like the init.d/gdm script is what I need to mess with. I did gdm stop and that does take down the desktop but leaves me with no termnial at all. Any tips? | |
| [16:57] <zoredache> Buff: after you do an gdm stop press ctrl-f1 | |
| [16:57] <zoredache> when you stop it, it will be on a tty tha doesn't have anything attached to it | |
| [16:58] <Buff> is there a way to just not have it boot at all by default? | |
| [16:59] <zoredache> sure... uninstall gdm, or delete the file /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm, or edit the file /etc/init.d/gdm and make the second line of the file be 'exit 0' | |
| [16:59] <zoredache> either one of the three choices would disable things | |
| [17:00] <Buff> zoredache: thanks. would I still be able to fire up the desktop from the terminal if I did that? | |
| [17:01] <zoredache> yes, use the command 'startxfce4' | |
| [17:01] <zoredache> or simply startx | |
| [17:06] <Buff> zoradache: works perfectly, thx | |
| [17:06] <zoredache> np | |
| [17:17] <boogieman> Hello all, i'm running xubuntu 7.10 on a Compaq 6710a notebook | |
| [17:18] <boogieman> The problem is that my notebook's 'presentation key' does not work | |
| [17:18] <boogieman> normally, when we press FN + presentation key; it should direct the current screen to the projector | |
| [17:18] <boogieman> any idea on how to get this working? | |
| [17:24] <zoredache> boogieman: I have found that on my dell, things work after i do a reboot. I have never taken the time to figure out why though... | |
| [17:26] <boogieman> zoredache: thanks for responding. what is the procedure. 1. plug the projector cable. 2. switch on the projector 3. reboot my notebook 4. press the FN key? | |
| [17:26] <boogieman> zoredache: unfortunately i don't have the projector with me to test it | |
| [17:27] <zoredache> boogieman: yea, that is pretty much what I do... You could test with an external monitor if you have one | |
| [17:28] <boogieman> zoredache: thanks. I don't have one either. anyway i'll give it a try tomorrow and see | |
| [17:29] <zoredache> you might also want to try hitting the presentation button before the login screen | |
| [17:30] <zoredache> so right after the computer boots... that way the external display should be detected and X will detect it | |
| [17:35] <eca> can you switch with screen and graphics program? | |
| [17:35] <eca> or is that 8.04 | |
| [17:53] <nazdalf> err.....i got an HP a1210in desktop PC...it has EM64T processor...is tht a 64bit processor on which 64-bit ubuntu 7.10 run properly?? | |
| [17:55] <zoredache> yes, the 64bit version should be able to run on that... | |
| [17:55] <zoredache> I don't guarentee things will work 'properly' though | |
| [17:56] <zoredache> my brief experience with 64bit was that it is still a mess... Particularly if you want/need non-free codecs, binary drivers, ndiswrapper, flash.... | |
| [17:57] <nazdalf> zoredache: ohh k......thnk u | |
| [18:07] <maristo> hello | |
| [18:07] <maristo> do you remember me? | |
| [18:07] <maristo> I solved problem with trash-bin of user | |
| [18:08] <maristo> it locates /home/user/.local/share/Trash | |
| [18:08] <maristo> if it can help to someone | |
| [18:08] <totemwormage> :] | |

| [21:19] <Dusti[n]> will xubuntu run my wine games better? | |
| [21:22] <TheSheep> Dusti[n]: better than what? | |
| [21:22] <ere4si> should be a small improvement - maybe | |
| [21:23] <TheSheep> not really, maybe a little faster startup, on machines slow enough to notice | |
| [21:26] <mvoltz> The Sheep: I got Fluxbox up and running. Thanks for the help yesterday | |
| [21:27] <TheSheep> mvoltz: great | |
