| [02:06] <gaurdro> sudo apt-get install build-essential | |
| [02:06] <gaurdro> it contains most of the stuff that is commonly required to compile code in ubuntu | |
| [02:07] <pc-illiterate> not working | |
| [02:07] <kid> Greetings. | |
| [02:08] <patoe1> its asking for a cd | |
| [02:08] <pc-illiterate> yes | |
| === kid is now known as Devine | |
| [02:08] <pc-illiterate> i changed install path...that matter ? didnt think so | |
| [02:09] <Devine> I have a strange problem - I can ping everything (via ethernet) but I cannot get on the net or use repositories. | |
| [02:10] <danielm> Devine, DNS (?) | |
| [02:10] <Devine> na, works fine. | |
| [02:10] <gaurdro> open synaptic and go to system->Synaptic then on the menu click settings-> repositories-ubuntu software and uncheck the cd option | |
| [02:11] <Devine> I get an IP by DHCP | |
| [02:20] <slimjimflim> anybody know how to get roxen4 to shut down, i tried removing packages, and /etc/init.d/roxen4 STOPping it | |
| [02:21] <slimjimflim> er stopPING | |
| [02:22] <gaurdro> killall roxen4 ? | |
| [02:23] <pc-illiterate> i still cant mount this cd...but maybe it has | |
| [02:23] <slimjimflim> ps -A|grep roxen returns nothing | |
| [02:24] <gaurdro> slimjimflim are you sure it's running? | |
| [02:24] <slimjimflim> when i go to my site in lynx it says it is | |
| [02:25] <slimjimflim> it's like 'this is the default roxen page' or something | |
| [02:52] <BrunoXLambert> Is it normal that it's a pain to have compiz in Xubuntu? | |
| [03:05] <oem> hey guys, does anybody yet have any experience with the Magento Commerce suite? | |
| [03:26] <Stroganoff> oem: go to #magento | |
| [03:26] <Stroganoff> or #ubuntu-offtopic #linux | |
| [03:26] <gNewPower> Hi, I am using an updated version of Xubuntu and I notice that even though Xubuntu is very proc-efficient my 1GHz proc is almost constantly pushed to the max by Firefox. Is this normal?! | |
| [03:27] <Stroganoff> gNewPower nope | |
| [03:27] <Stroganoff> i would install swiftfox, it's the new (faster) firefox3 optimized for your cpu arch | |
| [03:28] <Stroganoff> http://getswiftfox.com/deb.htm | |
| [03:28] <gNewPower> Stroganoff: I have 512MB of RAM and they are never used fully, But the proc is really running at 90-100% when I browse. Can you think of a reason? | |
| [03:28] <Stroganoff> gNewPower you have checked with xfce task manager that firefox uses these resouces? | |
| [03:28] <Stroganoff> are any plugins running, flash for example? | |
| [03:28] <Stroganoff> firefox should not take any cpu% if not loading websites or playing animations | |
| [03:29] <gNewPower> Stroganoff: I used the XFCE4 applet which shows how much proc power is used | |
| [03:29] <Stroganoff> gNewPower: alt+f2 -> xfce4-taskmanager | |
| [03:29] <gNewPower> Stroganoff: websites which pull lots of power are gmail and sites with Youtube videos | |
| [03:30] <gNewPower> Stroganoff:once they are fully loaded (1-2min) the stuff clams down | |
| [03:30] <Stroganoff> i think firefox2 on linux has some kind of javascript bug | |
| [03:30] <gNewPower> I meant "calms down" | |
| [03:30] <Stroganoff> try swiftfox: http://getswiftfox.com/deb.htm | |
| [03:31] <gNewPower> ok, I will. | |
| [03:31] <Stroganoff> it's firefox3 | |
| [03:31] <gNewPower> why "stroganoff"? You like beef or are you Russian? | |
| [03:31] <Stroganoff> neither | |
| [03:31] <gNewPower> oh, ok. | |
| [03:31] <Stroganoff> http://www.dragnet.de/telesound/images/fhollaender.jpg | |
| [03:32] <gNewPower> how is the smoking guy? | |
| [03:32] <gNewPower> I meant who | |
| [03:33] <Stroganoff> Friedrich Hollaender | |
| [03:33] <gNewPower> we will have to continue this another time, I need to run, sorry. many thanks and have a great evening! | |
| [06:55] <Damion> Howdy | |
| [07:07] <Damion> So I tried to install linux twice unsuccessfully: once off of a ubuntu factory-supplied disk and a home-burnt xubuntu disk. | |
| [07:07] <Damion> Both times when I tried selecting "Start or Install", "Start in safe graphics mode", or "Check CD Integrity", it directed me to a prompt-like program called busybox | |
| [07:07] <Damion> where after a short pause, it spat out the following lines: | |
| [07:07] <Damion> exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen | |

| [07:07] <Damion> (repeated once) | |
| [07:45] <ScriptDevil> the beta installer hangs in the partitioner screen. Actually the partitioner doesnt open up | |
| [08:12] <Iskr> it happens to me once | |
| [08:13] <Iskr> if it is beta, wait for the release =P | |

| [12:03] <Nique666> ah, that's true TheSheep, having somewhat of a mental block I suppose | |
| [12:12] <Nique666> i tried the automatically mount partitions script, and got the msg; already in /etc/fstab i'm assuming this means they're already mounted? but how do I access them? When I first put in the Xubuntu CD they appeared on the desktop, but now that i've installed they dont | |
| [12:16] <totalwormage> they probably swim around in /media | |
| [12:17] <Nique666> they do, but there's nothing in them | |
| [12:22] <Nique666> so what should i do to see the contents of these partitions; before installation the Xubuntu live CD saw the contents, and i know they still have stuff on since my XP install still sees them | |

| [14:10] <pc-illiterate> i have an installer that tells me "export the environment variable 'SETUP_CDROM'=/mnt/cdrom" what am i doing ? im lost | |
| [14:11] <ablomen> pc-illiterate, what are you installing exactly? | |
| [14:12] <pc-illiterate> tactical ops...game | |

| [14:13] <pc-illiterate> bah...dont want the 3.5 upgrade | |
| [14:13] <pc-illiterate> but thanks. read it | |
| [14:15] <pc-illiterate> and it is the same installer i have | |
| [14:15] <pc-illiterate> did you read that text at all ? | |
| [14:15] <ablomen> yep | |
| [14:16] <pc-illiterate> ote: You MUST export the 'SETUP_CDROM' environment variable as a pre-install script relies on this. Change the path to match your system cdrom mount point. | |
| [14:16] <pc-illiterate> ok...change cd path ? | |
| [14:16] <ablomen> export SETUP_CDROM=/mnt/cdrom | |
| [14:16] <ablomen> its in the text | |
| [14:17] <pc-illiterate> export SET_UP_CDROM=/mnt/cdrom0 ? | |
| [14:17] <pc-illiterate> i am totally new and trying to get the hang of ubuntu so please bear with me | |
| [14:18] <ablomen> did you insert the cd? | |
| [14:18] <pc-illiterate> yep | |
| [14:18] <pc-illiterate> mounted too as far as i know | |
| [14:18] <ablomen> ok then try "mount | grep cdrom" | |
| [14:18] <pc-illiterate> i can list the files on the cd | |
| [14:19] <ablomen> then you'll see the mount point | |
| [14:19] <pc-illiterate> ok and the mnt/dev/cdrom is right ? | |
| [14:19] <ablomen> nah it should be /media | |
| [14:19] <pc-illiterate> ok...had that before | |
| [14:20] <ablomen> ok so you enter export SETUP_CDROM=/media/cdrom | |
| [14:21] <pc-illiterate> the grep command...spit out buncha stuff... lol | |
| [14:21] <ablomen> hehe | |
| [14:22] <pc-illiterate> the dev/scd0 is my point ? | |
| [14:22] <ablomen> nah | |
| [14:22] <pc-illiterate> cdrom0 ? | |
| [14:22] <ablomen> if you do ls /media/cdrom/ do you get anything? | |
| [14:23] <pc-illiterate> sure....files on cd | |
| [14:23] <ablomen> ok then the mountpoint is /media/cdrom | |
| [14:23] <pc-illiterate> that means its mounted right ? | |
| [14:23] <ablomen> so you can do export SETUP_CDROM=/media/cdrom | |
| [14:23] <ablomen> and then run the installer | |
| [14:23] <ablomen> yeah its mounted :) | |
| [14:23] <pc-illiterate> cool. gunna try again | |
| [14:25] <pc-illiterate> and i need to use sudo sh to run right ? | |
| [14:26] <ablomen> yeah | |
| [14:26] <pc-illiterate> ok... hope this works | |
| [14:26] * ablomen crosses fingers | |
| [14:26] <pc-illiterate> lol | |
| [14:26] <pc-illiterate> grrrr. tells me to mount cd | |
| [14:27] <ablomen> hmm you did the export thing? | |
| [14:27] <pc-illiterate> i can do it line by line right ? | |
| [14:27] <pc-illiterate> yep | |
| [14:28] <ablomen> hmm then try entering sudo su, do the export command and then run the installer | |
| [14:29] <pc-illiterate> sudo su export SETUP_CDROM blah blah ? | |
| [14:29] <ablomen> nah sorry in 3 lines | |
| [14:30] <ablomen> so first sudo su <enter> export stuff <enter> sh installer <enter> | |
| [14:31] <pc-illiterate> cant open the .run | |
| [14:31] <ablomen> hmm | |
| [14:32] <ablomen> what error do you get? | |
| [14:32] <pc-illiterate> sh: cant open tactical.........run | |
| [14:33] <ablomen> hmm | |
| [14:34] <ablomen> and your in the right dir? | |
| [14:35] <pc-illiterate> says root@blank:/home/bryan# im at desktop right ? | |
| [14:35] <ablomen> nah | |

| [14:35] <ablomen> MacTaylor, sure | |
| [14:36] <ablomen> MacTaylor, wont be lightning fast but it should work | |
| [14:36] <ablomen> you may have to use the alternate install cd though (id recommend it anyway) | |
| [14:37] <pc-illiterate> well if im running from here... wtf did i do wrong ? | |
| [14:37] <pc-illiterate> yep...alt cd | |
| [14:37] <MacTaylor> i always use alt installer anyways since live cd always fails on me for sumreason | |
| [14:37] <ablomen> ok :) | |
| [14:37] <pc-illiterate> you get a black screen MacTaylor ? | |
| [14:38] <MacTaylor> on the live cd | |

| [22:41] <SnakeyeS> ok | |
| [22:41] <SnakeyeS> Restarting now | |
| [22:41] <breetai> <Snakeeyes: We have some 3 year old dells, when it you turn it on, press F12, there should be an option to let you boot from an external usb device/drive | |
| [22:41] <SnakeyeS> Can you hang with me a sec bud? | |
| [22:41] <SnakeyeS> ok | |
| [22:42] <SnakeyeS> this one is 6-7 yrs old | |
| [22:42] <SnakeyeS> lol | |
| [22:42] <SnakeyeS> just choking with xp | |
| [22:42] <SnakeyeS> only 128mb of ram | |
| [22:43] <SnakeyeS> Hmm | |
| [22:44] <SnakeyeS> F12 doesn't work | |
| [22:45] <SnakeyeS> My boot device options are... | |
| [22:45] <SnakeyeS> Modular Bay HDD | |
| [22:45] <SnakeyeS> PCI Slot Nic | |
| [22:45] <SnakeyeS> Dock Port | |
| [22:45] <SnakeyeS> Cardbus Nic | |
| [22:45] <SnakeyeS> Diskette drive | |
| [22:46] <SnakeyeS> cdrom drive | |
| [22:46] <SnakeyeS> and hdd | |
| [22:47] <SnakeyeS> Did you guys jet? | |
| [22:50] <SnakeyeS> oh wait | |
| [22:51] <SnakeyeS> I think I used BartPE to install windows | |
| [22:51] <SnakeyeS> will that work with xubuntu? | |
| [23:01] <Midtronic> howdy.. On my Gutsy box, I have this sweet feature where I can tab complete just about everything (subversion, apt-*, etc.). I just installed Hardy on a new box, and don't have this feature. Anyone have an idea what's the right package? | |
| [23:02] <breetai> SnakeyeS: Put the xubuntu CD and boot from it. | |
| [23:03] <breetai> SnakeyeS: It will start, and on the desktop will be an icon for doing the install. | |
| [23:05] <Midtronic> nevermind.. I'm an idiot. | |
| [23:14] <SnakeyeS> breetai: I don't seem to be able to boot from the external usb cd rom. That's all I have | |
| [23:31] <SnakeyeS> Anyone? How can I install xubuntu on this older dell? I only have an external cdrom (usb)...no floppy. | |
| [23:34] <AshleyQuick> Did anyone reply to my post? | |
| [23:35] <SubOne> Anyone know why Xubuntu 7.10 would reboot everytime it goes to load the kernel? I've tried 'noacpi', 'pci=noacpi', and 'acpi=off' to no avail. | |
| [23:48] <breetai> Snakeyes: there is another option. If you use the beta of the new verxion hardy, you can use the wubi installer | |
| [23:48] <breetai> Burn the cd, put in in and windows will run the wubi installer. | |
| [23:48] <breetai> it will make a giant file on your windows partion, 10gig or larger even. | |
| [23:48] <breetai> then it will set the winodws boot menu to give you the option of XP or xubuntu | |
| [23:49] <breetai> Or, you can just google wubi | |
| [23:49] <breetai> download it | |
| [23:49] <breetai> and run it. | |
| [23:49] <breetai> it will let you donwload the files you need to do the install. | |
| [23:50] <breetai> SubOne: why? depends on your motherboard, if it has the option to disable ACPI do so. there is also noriqpoll which also helps. | |
| [23:50] <breetai> sometimes. | |
| [23:50] <SubOne> breetai: i'll try that, any other suggestions? I can't install because it just keeps rebooting on kernel run (memtest works) | |
| [23:52] <breetai> SubOne: It has to do with some option the way the kernel is compiled. Some other distro make work better for you. | |
| [23:52] <breetai> SubOne: what kind of motherboard or model of computer do you have? | |
| [23:52] <SubOne> compaq | |
| [23:54] <breetai> Subone: What model? | |
| [23:55] <SubOne> presario 7470 | |
