<6> liquidindian: edit the DefaultDepth option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
<0> jofo: its a known issue and its being worked on its been broken for about a week
<4> soundray, okay :)
<3> gnomefreak: u lost me there, what is theown bug?
<0> jofo: xubuntu is unusable/uninstallable atm there was an update for a lib that broke everything check back in here if im around ill let you know when its fixed
<6> gnomefreak: are you involved with xubuntu?
<0> soundray: no but ive been getting really pissed on this issue and has talked to people that are
<0> lixfce4utils is the name of the lib thats borked iirc
<0> libxfceutils
<0> now brb for smake
<0> smoke
<6> gnomefreak: enjoy your smake
<0> :)
<6> gnomefreak: don't inhale ;)
<0> lol
<3> k, my problem is that cant log in Xubuntu, r we talking about the same thing here? ;)
<6> jofo: yes, I reckon that's what it is.
<6> jofo: you'll have to make do with failsafe in the meantime.
<7> im trying to modprobe speedstep-centrino but i get "no such device" .. and the folder /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/ is empty.. what do i forget?
<4> soundray, tsk, it already is that. Guess my laptop is just too rubbish to run it. Pity, it worked fine in windows.
<6> liquidindian: have you set the maximum X resolution to the native resolution of your display?
<4> soundray, I'm not sure...
<6> liquidindian: what video driver are you using?
<3> soundray: so there is no way of creating a new user in the terminal
<4> soundray, how do I find that out?
<0> jofo: is that what you installed is xubuntu or ubuntu +xubuntu-desktop?
<6> liquidindian: grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
<6> jofo: there is: 'sudo adduser newusername'
<3> soundray: xubuntu
<4> soundray, wacom? Savage?
<0> jofo: what does it say on login?
<6> liquidindian: do you know what video chipset your laptop uses?
<0> jofo: or do you get in than nothing works
<3> gnomefreak: no i have no user to chose
<3> gnomefreak: so i have to use the failsafe way...
<6> soundray: sorry, it's obvious.
<8> planning to upgrade from debian-unstable to ubuntu dapper, think it will work?
<6> liquidindian: sorry, it's obvious
<8> by changing apt-sources
<4> soundray, I'll dive into the depths of history... "integrated Via ProSavage KN133 graphics chip with 16MB of SDRAM", if that makes sense.
<0> jofo: when you get to xubuntu login page if you type your user name and user p***word what happens?
<6> liquidindian: savage is supported fairly well
<6> liquidindian: try the wiki:
<6> !fixres
<9> Help to fix the display resolution is available at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
<4> soundray, obvious?
<6> liquidindian: you had savage in the grep Driver output.
<3> gnomefreak thats the thing, ive never got to chose a user when i installed
<4> soundray, ahh. I'm still learning. I don't know much yet.
<5> Hi there. if i have a laptop and a desktop, and the laptop has an internet connection (at work), can i somehow ubdate my ubuntu desktop from the updated laptop?
<10> yes
<10> ssh
<6> liquidindian: 1024x768 with 16 bpp should be no problem with your setup. Probably even 24bpp.
<6> captine: is there no internet at all on the desktop, or just slow?
<3> gnomefreak; well i tried: sudo adduser, ill try to log in with the new user
<0> jofo: ok yes that is sounding like same issue (atleast that could be caused by the same library) here are a feww choices 1. you can download burn install ubuntu 2. you can wait for a fix for xubuntu <not sure how long atm but i would think within a week> or you can go to ctrl+alt+f2 and when you get to tty2 type what soundray gave you than install ubuntu-desktop and use gnome until fixed
<11> could someone please type a hash/pound symbol? I'm on a Mac running Ubuntu with no hash key :P
<12> #
<0> #
<3> k, thx ill try!
<11> highvoltage, gnomefreak : tnx
<0> yw
<12> balor: you can also press alt+f2 and type 'charmap' and enter
<4> I wish I'd known about nano before...
<11> highvoltage, yeah. Or Apple could cop on :P
<13> liquidindian, why?
<14> does anyone know whether there is an active maintainer for the ubuntu mythtv packages?
<4> salmiak_, because vim scares me :)
<15> DrNickRiviera, look in the changelog
<14> because the ones on multiverse are still version 0.18 and 019 has been out for quite a while
<13> liquidindian, vim ? best editor ever! :D
<15> <3 vim
<12> gnomefreak: i'm on xfce atm, so i wasn't sure where a user would find charmap in gnome :)
<16> hallo
<11> liquidindian, don't listen to salmiak_ . Emacs all the way
<4> salmiak_, maybe eventually I'll use it :)
<17> Heya, I tried to install Xgl as said in the wiki. As I did the "ln -sf /usr/bin/Xgl /etc/X11/X" and rebooted, X wouldn't start back up. What do I do?
<13> balor, so, it's a fight you want? meet me at #ubuntu-offtopic ;)
<11> salmiak_, lol
<0> i think its in applications>accesorires (i used alacarte to remove it from menu. and stop teasing me with xfce :( i miss mine
<16> made in russia
<6> ramvi: log in on a console (Ctrl-Alt-F1), run 'sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/Xorg /etc/X11/X ; sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart'
<17> I don't have to do the restart, X and gdm can't start. Using kdm btw. But, okay, thanks :)
<16> Greetings who from Russia will respond??
<6> ramvi: who said anything about restart?
<6> ramvi: have you relinked Xorg?
<16> Greetings who from Russia will respond??
<17> Doesn't /etc/init.d/gdm restart' reboot?
<6> ramvi: no, it doesn't. Have you fixed it?
<17> Relinked? Please come again.. Thanks so much for the help!
<18> is gam_server supposed to constantly take 10% cpu? (amd athlon64)
<17> No, not yet. I have to get all the help I can get and go 7 floors up to my computer and try to fix it
<6> ramvi: switch to a text console to login, byp***ing X, which doesn't work. To do this, hit Ctrl-Alt-F1
<17> Ok
<6> ramvi: log in with your username and p***word. Then type 'sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/Xorg /etc/X11/X'. Then type 'sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart'
<17> ok, thanks a bunch!
<17> :)
<6> ramvi: that will restore Xorg in place of Xgl and restart kdm and X
<19> how do I extract a .bz2 file?
<6> serp bunzip2 (tar jxf if it's a tar.bz2)
<17> Thanks bye :)
<19> soundray: oh okay
<19> thx
<8> is there a unstable branch?
<6> victori: yes, it's called Dapper Drake. Join #ubuntu+1 to discuss
<6> !dapper
<0> victori: not yet but there is a pre release version of ubuntu
<9> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support :)
<20> jhjk
<6> serve, your test worked
<0> take out pre release and add instead development
<21> how do i make vlc my default media player instead of mplayer?
<22> anyone know a p2p client that will run on ubuntu with a command line interface and uses http for file transfers?
<11> variant, wget
<11> variant, freenet
<6> donvella_: do you mean in nautilus?
<21> soundray: id say so, if nautilus runs on gnome
<23> how is wget p2p?
<22> balor: wget is not a p2p client
<11> hukkka, variant, depending on your definition of p2p
<6> donvella_: you didn't say gnome. It could have been firefox. Anyway, right click a media file, select Properties, go to Open With and select the default app for this file type.
<16> Greetings who from Russia will respond??
<6> !ru
<9> Pozhalujsta vojdite v #ubuntu-ru dlq pomoshchi na russkom qzyke. # russian users please try #ubuntu-ru, there you may get more help
<21> soundray: yeh ive done all that but in limewire it still tries to open them with mplayer...?
<6> donvella_: then you will have to tell limewire about your preference.
<21> tried that
<24> Just in case anyone it tempted to try it, my apt-get dist-upgrade to dapper went _very_ badly. I ended up doing a clean install again.
<24> ymmv :)
<6> zcat[1]: certainly my mileage varied. What was the point of failure?
<16> Greetings who from Russia will respond??
