| [02:17] <nosiop> Commander-Crowe: ah, and how does one do so? | |

| [02:20] <somerville32> nosiop, You can also use Applications > System > Software Sources and disable your cd-rom | |

| [02:20] <nosiop> well, I still want all the packages listed | |

| [02:21] <cellofellow> just comment out the cdrom:/// stuff in /etc/apt/sources.list | |

| === priidu [[email protected]] has joined #xubuntu | |
| [08:10] <PuMpErNiCkLe> !anyone | |
| [08:10] <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? | |
| [08:16] <underpope> I suspect that something I installed through apt-get yesterday is making OpenOffice.org suddenly run really slow (five minutes just to launch -- this is brand new behavior as of today). Is there anything that might have come through the pipe that might be doing this? | |
| [08:20] <underpope> Sorry, that was unclear: something through apt-get dist-upgrade. | |
| [08:21] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Nothing I've heard of. Have you tried running 'top' while launching OOo? You may get an idea of what's slowing it down, that way. | |
| [08:23] <underpope> soffice.bin is consuming about 14% of the memory; xorg about 4.5%. There are a couple of xfce processes that come in and out. | |
| [08:25] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Is that while it's running, or while it's launching? | |
| [08:26] <underpope> That's while it's runnin. | |
| [08:29] <PuMpErNiCkLe> And is there any particular problem with responsiveness while it's running, or just while it's launching? | |
| === kalikiana|rejoin [[email protected]] has joined #xubuntu | |
| [08:32] <underpope> There's painfully slow lag time while OOo is running as well. Lots of disk activity. It has taken six minutes (so far) to open a brand new document. I have already tried purging OOo and reinstalling it. | |
| [08:34] <underpope> Sorry, forgot to mention: this is Edgy. | |
| [08:42] <TheSheep> underpope: java | |
| [08:42] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Does it make much of a difference if Java usage is enabled/disabled? (Tools -> options -> openoffice.org -> java) | |

| [09:45] <ki> Hi guys! | |
| [09:45] <ki> Hello? | |
| [09:46] <ki> I would like to know some things about xubuntu. | |
| [09:46] <ki> 1. What version of xfce does it run? | |
| [09:47] <ki> 2. Can it install debs? | |
| [09:47] <ki> 3. What is the *buntu package manager like? | |
| [09:47] <ki> 4. Does it automount? | |
| [09:48] <ki> 5. Does it have an AMD64 edition? | |
| [09:49] <ki> 6. Does it support my hardware? Realtek rtl8187 wifi I believe which would not compile from source, nvidia geforce7900 or something, but nvidia isn't usually a problem with linux. | |
| [09:50] <ki> (I can't check hardware specifically because my dads friend took it to repair the motherboard). | |
| [09:50] <ki> *I mean the drivers would not compile from source, they existed though. | |
| [09:50] <ki> 7. What kernel version does it run? | |
| [09:51] <kalikiana|rejoin> ki: 1. 4.4beta2 (depending on xubuntu's version) | |
| [09:51] <kalikiana|rejoin> ki: 1. yes, doulbe-click in Thunar | |
| [09:51] <ki> oh thats good :) as long as it is above 4.2 | |
| [09:51] <kalikiana|rejoin> ki: 3. Synaptic, Aptutude, apt | |
| [09:51] <ki> what? double click in thunar? what? | |
| [09:52] <kalikiana|rejoin> Thunar is the default filemanager and double-clicking on a deb installs it | |
| [09:52] <ki> 3. how many packages do they have and do they auto-resolve dependencies? | |
| [09:52] <ki> oh thats cool! installs it wizard style? | |
| [09:52] <ki> hey, I can still do apt-get in terminal, right? Like how I can do port install in freebsd? | |
| [09:52] <ki> and wizard style like PBI installer? | |
| [09:53] <kalikiana|rejoin> it's a nice dialog telling you e.g. description, dependencies and more | |
| [09:53] <kalikiana|rejoin> apt-get works as well, yes | |
| [09:53] <ki> so it doesn't autoresolve dependencies, but it tells me dependencies at least so I can get them? | |
| [09:53] <kalikiana|rejoin> it tries to get them automatically | |
| [09:53] <ki> sorry I have so many questions. | |
| [09:53] <kalikiana|rejoin> :) | |
| [09:54] <kalikiana|rejoin> 4. Thunar does that I think | |
| [09:54] <kalikiana|rejoin> 5. i believe so | |
| [09:54] <ki> oh good :) | |
| [09:55] <kalikiana|rejoin> 7. Edgy: 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP | |
| [09:55] <ki> what is the difference between thunar and xffm? (only just switched to xfce today, long time kde user and lover who wanted to try something new) | |
| [09:55] <ki> Edgy? sounds very debian :). | |
| [09:55] <kalikiana|rejoin> xffm is a whole suite of utilities, Thunar is only a filemanager | |
| === echosystm [[email protected]] has joined #xubuntu | |
| [09:56] <ki> 2.6.17? DAMN! That means no vmware workstation. Upgrading the kernel isn't a problem right? Some Linux distros won't do it.. | |
| [09:56] <kalikiana|rejoin> Edgy Eft is Xubuntu 6.1 | |
| [09:56] <ki> okay :) | |
| [09:56] <ki> Xubuntu sounds very ubuntu just without gnome. | |
| [09:56] <ki> but thats okay, I like the look of gnome but xfce is better. | |
| [09:56] <kalikiana|rejoin> it's still ubuntu of course | |
| [09:57] <kalikiana|rejoin> xfce is more standards and less bloated | |
| [09:57] <kalikiana|rejoin> compiling kernel is possible | |
| [09:57] <ki> hey, is there a way to put shortcuts on desktop with xfce? I find the background sort of...useless. | |
| [09:57] <kalikiana|rejoin> yes | |
| [09:57] <ki> is it easy though? can I just open update manager and bam, or atleast download through a package manager? | |
| [09:58] <kalikiana|rejoin> you meaning kernel compiling? there is a package for that, I'm not sure what exactly is in there | |
| [09:58] <kalikiana|rejoin> didn't do it for some time | |
| === kalikiana|rejoin is now known as kalikiana | |
| [10:01] <ki> okay. | |
| [10:01] <ki> just that vmware hates anything below 2.6.18 | |
| [10:02] <ki> anyway, is wifi easy to set up with wep and everything? | |
| === firefish [[email protected]] has joined #xubuntu | |
| [10:03] <ki> oh yeah, does xgl work fine? | |
| === rob1 [i=RobertSt@freenode/staff/rob] has joined #xubuntu | |
| [10:04] <ki> and you know how it only includes free as in freedom software? With an update can I get propietry 3d nvidia/ati drivers and mp3 playback, etc? | |
| [10:05] <kalikiana> you can get proprietary packages, e.g. easyubuntu | |
| [10:05] <ki> what is this easyubuntu? | |
| [10:05] <kalikiana> xgl works fine depending on the gfx card, for me (ati9800) it's fine | |
| [10:06] <kalikiana> easyubuntu is one GUI tool which install non-free things | |
| [10:06] <kalikiana> but it's not from canonical directly | |
| [10:06] <ki> what I mean is, is the update manager good? and does it install mp3 playback when you install like suse? | |
| === rag [[email protected]] has joined #xubuntu | |
| [10:07] <kalikiana> the updatemanager is fine (although i personally use synaptic for about everything) | |
| [10:07] <ki> or you have to get easy ubuntu, search for mp3, dvd, 3d driver and so on then install individually and manually? | |
| [10:07] <ki> what filesystem does it use? | |
| [10:08] <kalikiana> repos do include non-free but easyubuntu helps you set drivers up | |
| [10:08] <kalikiana> filesystem is ext3 by default | |
| [10:08] <ki> nice. | |
| [10:08] <kalikiana> man, don't you get that infos from the web? :P | |
| [10:09] <ki> I can I suppose. | |
| [10:09] <ki> just thought it would be easier if you were willing :) | |
| [10:10] <ki> also manpages don't answer most questions. | |
| [10:10] <ki> one more thing, can it handle autopackages out of the box? | |
| [10:12] <kalikiana> nope, needs to install autopackage normally | |
| [10:12] <kalikiana> now I gotta go, so maybe see ya later :) | |
| === kalikiana is now known as kalikiana|away | |
| [10:14] <ki> thanks kalikiana! | |

| [10:59] <TheSheep> Tajmox: you can use one of the commandline tools, and bind it to a keypress | |
| [10:59] <gunny01> Tajmox: you could do it throu x but that is hardish. | |
| [10:59] <gunny01> Tajmox: hold on and I'll consolt a lxf | |
| [11:00] <gunny01> er...scratch that. | |
| [11:01] <gunny01> might be easist just to make a panel icon and delete it afterwards :-D | |
| [11:04] <Tajmox> what command would that be ? | |
| [11:04] <Tajmox> for a screenshot | |
| [11:04] <Tajmox> and where are key bindings in xfce ?? I havent set up my media keys because I cant find it | |

| [11:09] <TheSheep> Tajmox: I think you need to find some howto on the forums | |
| [11:09] <TheSheep> Tajmox: for the screenshot, there is the 'import' command in ImageMigick, for exmaple | |

| [04:45] <gabkdlly> hyper_ch: do you have multiple xubuntu installs on the same machine? | |
| [04:47] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: yes | |
| [04:47] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: I also tried getting it installed into hda5 | |
| [04:47] <hyper_ch> where the current root is | |
| === tim__ [[email protected]] has joined #xubuntu | |
| [04:51] <gabkdlly> did you mean to overwrite what was in hda5 before? or do you mean that you wanted to make hda5 the boot partition? | |
| [04:51] <gabkdlly> was hda5 your boot partition before? | |
| === Commander-Crowe [n=Robert@unaffiliated/Commander-Crowe] has joined #xubuntu | |
| [04:53] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: hda5 is the root of edgy | |
| [04:54] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: I tried to install from a alternate cd feisty herd2 there | |
| [04:54] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: I selected the data in hda5 to be formatted | |
| [04:54] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: however after restart, grub had problems finding the right stuff | |
| [04:54] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: then I shrinked my backup harddisk | |
| [04:54] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: setup a new 30gb partition there | |
| [04:54] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: of course I first installed edgy again in hda5 | |
| [04:55] <hyper_ch> the 30gb partition there is /dev/sda5 | |
| [04:55] <gabkdlly> on my system, mount tells me that hdc5 is for swap, and hdc1 is root, which I guess tells my by process of illimination that hdc2 must be the boot partition | |
| [04:55] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: I installed feisty there... same result... upon booting grub couldn't do anything | |
| [04:55] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: so I used the edgy cd again booted into recovery mode and isntalled grub again | |
| [04:55] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: now I can at least boot into edgy again | |
| [04:57] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: I did now alter the grub menu.lst : http://phpfi.com/194776 --> not sure if that works | |
| === Xemanth [[email protected]] has joined #Xubuntu | |
| [04:59] <gabkdlly> so, I guess you are booting from two different hard drives, eh? | |
| [04:59] <gabkdlly> doesn't Grub start counting partitions at zero? | |
| [05:00] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: I have 4 harddrives | |
| [05:00] <hyper_ch> 3x IDE | |
| [05:00] <hyper_ch> 1x SATA | |
| [05:00] <hyper_ch> and it just totally mixes that all up | |
| [05:01] <gabkdlly> To me, it looks like your Feisty menu entries refer to a fifth hard drive =-O | |
| === slow-motion [[email protected]] has joined #xubuntu | |
| [05:02] <gabkdlly> a sixth partition on the fifth hard drive, to be exact | |

| [05:19] <gabkdlly> hyper_ch: if you are talking about hda5 (as seen in /dev/ ) wouldn't that correspond to (hd0,4) in Grub terminology? | |
| [05:20] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: it's sda5 :) | |
| [05:20] <hyper_ch> anyway, in #ubuntu+1 I was told to use UUIDs in grub :) | |
| [05:20] <hyper_ch> it looks now like that: http://phpfi.com/194779 | |
| [05:21] <gabkdlly> you are now installing Feisty into what used to be your Windows partition? | |
| [05:22] <hyper_ch> no, windows is hda1 | |
| [05:23] <gabkdlly> I have to admit, it is a bit over my head :( | |
| [05:23] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: 4 harddisks | |
| [05:23] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: 60GB | |
| [05:23] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: 120 GB | |
| [05:23] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: 160 GB | |
| [05:23] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: 320 GB | |
| [05:23] <hyper_ch> the 120 ons is hda1 | |
| [05:24] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: the 160 is hdd1 | |
| [05:24] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: the 120 is hdc1 | |
| [05:24] <hyper_ch> and the 320gb is now sda1+5 | |
| [05:24] <hyper_ch> the 120gb disk contains a 30 GB partiton for windows, a 3gb swap, a 15 gb edgy and the rest is /home | |

| [05:31] <gabkdlly> hyper_ch: when you partitioned your drives, didn't you designate one (exactly one) of them to be the boot partition? | |
| [05:31] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: I did | |
| [05:31] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: /dev/sda5 | |
| [05:32] <hyper_ch> I'll try now with my altered grub menu | |

| [05:42] <somerville32> How are you trying to get it to work? | |
| [05:42] <hyper_ch> somerville32: I tried an upgrade from edgy | |
| [05:42] <hyper_ch> somerville32: after reboob grub didn't recognize the correct partitions | |
| [05:42] <hyper_ch> somerville32: then I tried to install it from the alternate cd | |
| [05:42] <hyper_ch> somerville32: same result after reboot | |
| === priit_ [[email protected]] has joined #xubuntu | |

| [05:43] <hyper_ch> somerville32: now I tried to create manual grub entries --> but it won't work either [as I don't know what I need to do there] | |
| [05:44] <somerville32> Do you have a separate partition for /boot ? | |

| === tuna-fish- [[email protected]] has joined #xubuntu | |

| [05:47] <hyper_ch> somerville32: I don't remember the exact error message | |
| [05:47] <hyper_ch> it just told it can't find the partition | |
| [05:48] <somerville32> Are you on the live cd or something now? | |
| [05:49] <hyper_ch> no | |
| [05:49] <hyper_ch> put in edgy alternate cd | |
| [05:49] <hyper_ch> reinstalled grub | |
| [05:49] <somerville32> So are you running Feisty now? | |
| [05:50] <hyper_ch> no, edgy | |
| [05:51] <somerville32> ok | |
| [05:51] <somerville32> Are you interested in trying to upgrade to Feisty again? | |
| [05:51] <hyper_ch> feisty is installed | |
| [05:52] <hyper_ch> but I can't get grub to start it | |
| [05:52] <somerville32> So, grub offers you the option to boot into Edgy or Feisty? | |
| [05:52] <hyper_ch> no it doesn't | |
| [05:52] <hyper_ch> just offers now edgy | |
| [05:53] <hyper_ch> after I have reinstlled grub from the edgy alternate cd | |
| [05:53] <hyper_ch> I tried to add an entry for feisty but that doesn't work either | |
| [05:55] <somerville32> Please pastebin /boot/grub/menu.lst | |
| [05:56] <hyper_ch> somerville32: http://phpfi.com/194787 | |
| [05:58] <somerville32> It appears Feisty is listed there | |

| [06:12] <somerville32> The reason your Feisty boot thinger isn't working is because it is pointing to the same partition as Windows is | |

| [06:12] <hyper_ch> oh... hmm... so what do I have to enter then? | |

| [06:20] <somerville32> Welcome back hyper_ch | |
| [06:21] <hyper_ch> somerville32: I have 4 harddisks | |
| [06:21] <hyper_ch> somerville32: for some reasons sometimes my wifi just fails | |
| [06:23] <hyper_ch> somerville32: I have the UUID set... so what's the problem? | |
| [06:24] <somerville32> You set the root to the same as windows | |
| [06:24] <somerville32> Which mean it'll look there to find the kernel | |
| [06:26] <hyper_ch> somerville32: so what do I have to set there? | |
| [06:26] <somerville32> You would set it to point to the hard drive and partition you have Feisty installed to | |
| [06:27] <hyper_ch> how? | |
| [06:28] <somerville32> By modifying /boot/grub/menu.lst | |
| [06:28] <hyper_ch> and what to? | |
| [06:29] <somerville32> How would I know? :S | |
| [06:29] <somerville32> It depends on what hard drive and partition you have it installed to | |
| [06:29] <hyper_ch> you tell me I use the wrong thing | |
| [06:30] <hyper_ch> but I have added the UUID | |
| [06:30] <hyper_ch> so what's the problem? | |
| [06:30] <somerville32> The argument you passed to the kernel? | |
| [06:30] <somerville32> That'll set the root partition, yes. | |
| [06:30] <somerville32> But first grub needs to find the kernel | |
| [06:30] <somerville32> and you tell grub it is located on hd0, partition 0 | |
| [06:30] <somerville32> Which is the same as Window's (according to your menu.lst) | |
| [06:31] <hyper_ch> ok, so what do I have to change that to then? | |
| [06:31] <somerville32> It depends on what you have Feisty installed to | |
| [06:31] <hyper_ch> can I use also the UUID there? | |
| [06:31] <somerville32> No | |
| [06:31] <hyper_ch> well, feisty is on sda5 | |
| [06:32] <hyper_ch> so what do I have to enter there? | |
| === grazie [[email protected]] has joined #xubuntu | |
| [06:35] <somerville32> Can you list all your partitions? | |
| [06:35] <hyper_ch> yes | |
| [06:35] <gabkdlly> hyper_ch: could you try replacing root (hd0,0) with root (sd0,4), but only under the feisty entry, and see if that works? | |
| [06:36] <hyper_ch> ok,t rying | |
| [06:36] <grazie> I picked up a load of updates for my ppc machine yesterday, but none for x86 machine | |
| [06:36] <grazie> anyone know why that could be? | |
| === hyper_ch [[email protected]] has joined #xubuntu | |
| [06:40] <hyper_ch> error parsing number | |
| [06:45] <somerville32> grazie: I think there is a cron job that automatically apt-get updates | |
| [06:45] <gabkdlly> hyper_ch: sudo grub | |
| [06:45] <somerville32> Your x86 machine just might not be aware of the updates yet | |
| [06:46] <gabkdlly> hyper_ch: then "root ( <tab>" and let us know what that outputs | |
| === vinze [[email protected]] has joined #xubuntu | |
| [06:46] <hyper_ch> grub> root | |
| [06:46] <hyper_ch> Possible commands are: root rootnoverify | |
| [06:47] <gabkdlly> hyper_ch: root, then a space, then ( , and then hit the tab key | |
| [06:47] <hyper_ch> grub> root (hd | |
| [06:47] <hyper_ch> Possible disks are: hd0 hd1 hd2 hd3 | |
| [06:48] <gabkdlly> hyper_ch: also, putting the UUIDs in there seems strange to me, for the time being I would change them back to root=/dev/sda5 or whatever device you end up putting feisty on | |
| [06:48] <hyper_ch> I think it might be hd3,4 | |
| [06:48] <gabkdlly> hyper_ch: that means that grub is not seeing your sda drive | |
| [06:49] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: I have only 4 harddisks | |
| [06:49] <hyper_ch> and 4 are being displayed | |
| [06:49] <hyper_ch> or is the dvd-rw also being displayed? | |
| [06:49] <gabkdlly> no, shouldn't be | |
| [06:50] <gabkdlly> for some reason I was thinking that you had a SATA drive additionally. my bad | |
| [06:50] <hyper_ch> gabkdlly: that's true | |
| [06:50] <hyper_ch> 3x IDE | |
| [06:50] <hyper_ch> 1x SATA | |
| [06:50] <gabkdlly> Well, you have to configure grub to point to one of those four that grub can see | |
| [06:50] <hyper_ch> and feisty is on the SATA | |
| [06:51] <gabkdlly> then try root (hd3,4) and see what happens | |
| [06:51] <gabkdlly> I know it might not be a bunch of fun, but if that does not work, you could cycle through the available ones (i.e. hd0, hd1, ...) | |

| [09:21] <Maximilian1st> Hi folks. | |
| [09:21] <Maximilian1st> I have a question about herd2 | |
| [09:21] <Maximilian1st> Did the Terminal within Xfce loose it's utf8 capability? | |
| === somerville32 is unsure. | |
| [09:22] <Maximilian1st> I can't see special accents and stuff... | |
| [09:22] <Maximilian1st> I never had to install anything to have them before. | |
| [09:22] <Maximilian1st> Isn't it installed by default anymore? | |
| [09:24] <kalikiana|rejoin> I can even insert kana in my Terminal. | |
| [09:25] <Maximilian1st> So there is something with my installation. good to know that it works. You are using herd2, aren't you? | |
| [09:26] <kalikiana|rejoin> Me? No, it's Edgy most of the time. | |
| [09:27] <Maximilian1st> Isn't herd2 the feisty beta? | |
| === magic_ninja [[email protected]] has joined #xubuntu | |
| [09:27] <somerville32> Alpha | |
| [09:28] <kalikiana|rejoin> Yes it is, but I don't use it 'normally', i.e. except when I play a little around. | |
| [09:28] <hyper_ch> somerville32: Maximilian1st: has any of you tried to install vmware on herd 2? | |
| [09:28] <somerville32> no | |
| [09:28] <Maximilian1st> So by default there is no support for special accents in the alpha. That is my conclusion. hyper_ch nope, I use a laptop with 512 ram so it's not really the right machine to play with. | |
| [09:30] <Maximilian1st> When I say no support I mean in Xfce's Terminal, because it works in the normal console. Also, they don't appear in xchat "?" "?" can you see these? | |
| [09:30] <slow-motion> n8 | |
| [09:33] <Maximilian1st> I have something special here. If I launch a new Terminal window from within an existing one, I will still not get the accents but... if I launch using root from within an existing Terminal I will have the accents. any clue as to what is wrong? | |
| [09:33] <Maximilian1st> something to do with the locale? from my user? | |
| [09:35] <Maximilian1st> Also, I confirmed a hang in the booting process with the sk98lin driver. I can also confirm that it won't load when using the restricted modules from the packages, probably due to this driver also. | |
