ernesto`guess i should chanche distrib.. this one doesnt seem to like my laptop :012:40
zOapJKnife, #pastebin12:41
zOapJKnife, hang on, I can paste it to pasebin.ca it looked horrible..12:41
zOapJKnife, http://www.pastebin.ca/33152812:42
zOapJKnife, aah, saw you posted at #pastebin.. well the link is better..12:43
maxamillionernesto`: honestly, it might be because of the old hardware ... i had that problem as well and ended up having to use debian "sarge" stable release with the 2.4.x kernel :/12:43

zOapheheh12:44
ernesto`ok route set up correctly with netmask, doens't work either12:46
maxamillionernesto`: bah! ... ermmm...12:47
ernesto`any ideas what it can be? =)12:47
ernesto`do you think the 2.4.x kernel would do better?12:47
JKnifeok.. new settings time to restart XFCE412:48
zOapJKnife, new setings? where?12:48
maxamillionernesto`: its possible ... can't promise anything, but i do know that 2.4 likes old hardware more than 2.6 .... and DSL runs on a 2.4 kernel ;)12:48
ernesto`i use DSL-N with 2.6 kernel ;)12:49
ernesto`anyways.. i should think about it12:49
maxamillionoh ... hrmm12:49
maxamillionyeah, i'm out of ideas ... the card is recognized so it should work, there is probably just something we aren't thinking of12:49
zOapJKnife, did you edit the pastebin.ca url? what is the new url?12:49
JKnife... i havn't yet.. hold on12:50
zOapJKnife, okey12:50
ernesto`i tried the same with gentoo.. had a working connection during install but couldn't set it up afterwards12:50
ernesto`maybe i should install DSL on harddisk :012:51
JKnifeernesto`: tried checking the loaded modules?12:51
ernesto`no, why?12:52
maxamillionJKnife: yeah, ifconfig can see the interface, access it, put it up/down, etc .... just doesn't seem to be able to ping anything12:52
ernesto`it was the same.. card recognized, eth0 set up correctly -> no connection12:52
JKnifeohh12:52
maxamillionJKnife: yeah ... i am out of ideas12:53
ernesto`me 2... what's a good alternative to ubuntu? :012:54
zOapernesto`, that would have to be debian12:54
graziesome drivers work when compiled into kernel, but don't work as modules...12:54
ernesto`hmm yes.. didn't dare to install debian because of "only for gurus" reputation ;)12:55
zOapernesto`, afterall, ubuntu is based on debian, and the debian devs does some amasing stuff.12:55
JKnifeok.. now i got default back..12:56
ernesto`i loved apt, thats y i chose ubuntu12:56
zOapernesto`, naah, that's not true. you get mainstream debian too, just not as mainstream and easy to use as ubuntu12:56
zOapernesto`, me too:)12:56
zOapJKnife, url?12:56
maxamillionernesto`: debian ... ubuntu is a derivative of ubuntu but debian is still the mother distro of the world ;)12:56
JKnifeAHHHHHH12:56
JKnife~/.config/xfce4/mcs_settings/wmtweaks.xml <-- that be the file12:56
ernesto`is it as well documentized as ubuntu? :)12:56
zOapJKnife, aaah12:57
JKnife<option name="Xfwm/UseCompositing" type="int" value="0"/> <- change to 112:57
maxamillionernesto`: uhmm... almost ... its pretty good12:57
JKnifeernesto`: Debian is responsable of 80% of the man pages12:57
JKnifemaxamillion: my finished d/ling did yours?12:58
ernesto`hmm thats a point12:58
zOapJKnife, actually, it isnt there either...12:58
maxamillionJKnife: sure did, didn't even notice12:58
JKnife:)12:58
JKnifezOap: add it in then12:58
zOapok12:58
ernesto`apt is based on debian, rite? it as apt too?12:58
maxamillionJKnife: i'm gonna burn it and then go home12:58

nyu2Yeah, you can set a xscreensaver as your desktop.02:44
=== tom47 [n=tom@unaffiliated/tom47] has joined #xubuntu
nyu2Or rather, you can have a specific screensaver draw on your background.02:46
nyu2Just look in '/usr/lib/xscreensaver' for the programs.  '-root' will put it in the root window.02:46
Jester45what?02:47
=== HeathenDan [n=blarg@125.212.82.164] has joined #xubuntu
Jester45so xscreensaverbinary -root02:48
nyu2You would have to launch it manually.02:48
nyu2Right.02:48
Jester45ok02:48
nyu2And it seems that it doesn't like to draw over xfce's desktop, either.02:48
nyu2Let me see if I can get around that.02:48
nyu2Aha.  All you have to do is uncheck 'allow xfce to manage the desktop' in desktop settings.02:53
nyu2Of course, you lose all the desktop icons.02:53
Jester45humm02:53
nyu2So it may or may not be worth it.02:53
Jester45anyway of scripting that so i can click it on or off02:54
nyu2Probably.  I don't know how, though.02:54
Jester45TheSheep: i need your help02:54
Jester45ok well.. i guess i will do it manualy02:55
Jester45o wait02:55
Jester45nyu2: how about making the scipt change one cfg for a diffrent one02:55
Jester45and the diffrent one would have the unchecked verson02:55
=== nyu2 shrugs.

Jester45for a gui03:38
Jester45Prisoner_: thats not that bad03:38
nyu2That depends on how bad of a display you're willing to accept.03:38
Jester45Prisoner_: the cpu could be better but that ram is decent03:38
sponixJester45: gotta have something to use the extra ram :P03:38
nyu2You can run X with 1 mb of video ram, if you really want to.03:39
Prisoner_it hangs but it runs better than Kubuntu03:39
maxamillionJester45: no ... 64mb for dapper ... 128mb for edgy (there was something added to ubuntu-base that we couldn't avoid in edgy)03:39
Prisoner_I have 64mb video RAM03:39
Jester45i have 25603:39
Prisoner_it's an old ATI Radeon VE card03:39
Jester45yucky ati03:39
Prisoner_looks like add/remove programs has locked up03:39
Prisoner_I agree about ATI, that card was a mistake03:40
Jester45its good with windows03:40
Prisoner_bought it because it had more RAM than the card I was running and it was on sale03:40
Prisoner_I'm not so sure it's great with Windows, the updated drivers for it made a mess03:40
Jester45not so good with linux untill they if ever opensorce the driver03:40
nyu2They won't.  You know that.03:41
Prisoner_it seems to run OK, at least for now03:41

Prisoner_I'm not a gamer03:41
Jester45lol sorry03:41
Prisoner_when I tried to work with photos and such, it would run slow03:42
Prisoner_my main box has a 128MB nVidia based card03:42
Prisoner_if I do start running Linux more, that will be the box I use, an AMD Sempron 1.583GHZ03:43
maxamillionmy desktop at home has a 128mb nvidia card ... but it was the cheapest thing i could find when i built the machine, a graphics card's amount of ram doesn't mean much03:43
Jester45maxamillion: sorta03:43
nyu2It's good for gaming.03:44
Prisoner_same here, and I wanted to move away from ATI, I think it's a good card03:44
Jester45maxamillion: new cards that are more powerfull GPU wise have more ram03:44
Jester45maxamillion: so say you have a 256 and i have a 128 my is most litkly slower03:44
maxamillionJester45: but the same is not always true ... my 128mb card is a 6000 series nvidia which would out perform a 256mb 5000 series card any day03:45

luckyonehello all04:14
linux_hey luckyone04:14
somerville32Hi :)04:16
Jester45hi04:17
maxamillionhello04:18
luckyone? how do I change the username of the first user that ubuntu created on installation?04:21
luckyoneI just read the man page for usermod and it says that it can't be run while the user is logged in04:21
linux_you should try activating the root account and then log in that and delete the user account04:22
luckyoneyeah, I guess I could do that04:22
luckyoneI just took a box from my inlaws that they recently replaced, trying to figure out something cool to do with it...04:23
luckyonebesides folding protiens all the time04:23
luckyoneit has ubuntu (because I thought the interface would be more intuitive for them, less config files) but I want to clean it up and get xubuntu installed on it without having to start over04:24
luckyoneI decided my first step would be changing the username to something that isn't so silly04:24
linux_sudo apt-get install xubuntu --> that might work maybe, or xubuntu-desktop?04:25
maxamillionxubuntu-desktop would be the package you are looking for .... errr meta-package, but whatever04:25
luckyoneright, I need to sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get autoremove first methinks04:25
maxamillionbut even still ... i would advise a data backup and a fresh installation04:25
luckyonethere is nothing on it04:25
luckyonemaxamillion, can I do a fresh install without a monitor attached to the machine?04:26
luckyonethat really raises the bar on my linux knowledge04:26
maxamillionuhmmm.... technically ... yes, do i recommend it? no .... have i ever done it? no ... do i know how to do it? no ... but i have heard of it being done04:27
j1mcyou could ssh into the machine and do a fresh install w/o a monitor attached.04:27
maxamillioni actually have to go04:27
j1mccouldn't you do that?  i think so . . .04:27
j1mcyou'd have to know the ip address, though.04:27
=== DarthLappy [n=Angus@pdpc/supporter/student/DarthShrine] has joined #xubuntu
luckyonej1mc, do you have a link to any doc on how to do that04:27
luckyonej1mc, that is actually what I want to do04:27
maxamillionj1mc: well ... luckyone want's to install without a monitor and shh (iirc) is dissabled from the install image04:27
j1mcand you'd have to be able to work from a separate machine.04:27
maxamillioni gotta go ... laters04:27
luckyonej1mc, is ssh enabled on any image?04:28
j1mci really am not sure.04:28
luckyonehmm, I will try another channel04:28
luckyonethanks04:28
j1mcwhat i did one time was install ubuntu server, and then ssh into it to configure it.04:28
j1mcbut i had the monitor connected during the actual install04:29
somerville32luckyone, Would it be possible for you to have a monitor when you install?04:29
luckyoneno04:29
luckyonesomerville32, no04:29
somerville32luckyone, Is the box remote from you?04:30
linux_that would be a cool feature if you could have an install CD that sets up the computer without any confirmation (auto yes's every 10 sec)04:30
=== DarthLappy [n=Angus@pdpc/supporter/student/DarthShrine] has joined #xubuntu
luckyonesomerville32, no, but all I have are laptops, no display to hook it to04:32
j1mclinux_, hehe . . . an "auto-yes" installation?  :)  how very "linux."  :)04:33
luckyonehmm - I guess what I really want to do is just create a new user exactly like the user the ubuntu installer creates, then delete the previous user04:34
linux_lol, didn't see that as funny till you mentioned it lol04:34
luckyonethere are ways to make images that do what you are talking about04:35
luckyoneit seems very feasible04:35
linux_sudo adduser <user> maybe?04:35

TheSheepBrendanM: yes, just add 'orage clock' to the panel07:42
BrendanMok, cool07:42
TheSheepBrendanM: instead of the simple one07:42
BrendanMI assume it takes up marginally more system resources?07:42
TheSheepnot sure, I guess the difference is not noticeable07:43
maxamillionBrendanM: remove the current one too ... or else there will be two clocks ... and no, almost the same system resources because nothing happens until you click it and launch orage :)07:43
BrendanMyeah, I did remove the simple one07:43
BrendanMThe orage one seems tricky to configure07:43
maxamillionBrendanM: i just accept all the defaults, it normally just detects what you already have configured (iirc)07:44
grazieTheSheep: any ideas why my clean system has 3 sets of linux-headers installed?07:45
BrendanMok. It's showing 24-hour time rather than 12, and it's displaying seconds07:45

maxamillionerrr... dual07:53
graziestill trying to isolate my loss of sound problem. after a clean install everything works again07:55
BrendanMSorry...one more stupid clock/calendar question. Is there a way to make orage close when I hit the "X" instead of just minimizing to the system tray?07:56
graziehowever, a new kernel, headers and restricted modules are ready for updates. just doesn't seem right to me to maintain 3 lots of headers07:57
TheSheepgrazie: get yourself an x86 ;)07:58
graziei have, but mac boxes are very nice07:59
maxamillionBrendanM: not that i know of, you have to click file_.quit07:59
TheSheepI think there's an option to not show the tray icon07:59
BrendanMyeah, there is, but it doesn't actually close, the process stays running08:02
BrendanMnot that orage is a real resource-hog or anything08:02

graziesorry must have missed a lot of detail - i haven't a clue what your on about10:29
drx0drxI'm trying to install Windows under Linux/Xen, and I have to specify the "paritition containing the boot files", so I specify the same paritition I want the OS installed on, and it says "file system not exported"10:30
grazieno experience of Xen sorry10:31
drx0drxincidentally, if I specify nothing, it says "error: partition containing kernel and RAM disk cannot be empty" which leads me to believe that it wants the Linux host boot parition, not the Windows guest boot partition, sound about right?10:32

ubotuTo mount an ISO disc image, type "sudo mount -o loop my.iso <mountpoint>" There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before burning. Burning .iso files: see !burn12:04
