| grazie | adrian15: On the Live CD there's a option to add the language pack during the install, so I'd guess the alternate gives a similar option, but I can't guarantee it. | 10:55 |
| adrian15 | grazie: language pack means download it from internet ? | 10:55 |
| grazie | adrian15: yes and it is quite big | 10:56 |
| grazie | adrian15: It's no problem to add languages after the install | 10:56 |
| grazie | adrian15: Don't think there's a particular app to tweak startup services, but we can help you tweak your system | 10:57 |
| adrian15 | grazie: As long as I want to use 6.10 to have the newer applications I think it has something like upstart | 10:58 |
| adrian15 | grazie: and upstart I suppose it is different from the system V init isn't it ? there are not more SXX files, aren't there ? | 10:58 |
| TheSheep | there is system->services | 10:58 |
| TheSheep | but sysv-rc-conf gives you more control | 10:59 |
| adrian15 | TheSheep: In 6.10 | 10:59 |
| adrian15 | TheSheep: ? | 10:59 |
| TheSheep | or just do it manually in /etc/rc.* | 10:59 |
| grazie | adrian15: 64M is on the low side, I think you may find it a bit slow but why not try? | 10:59 |
| TheSheep | adrian15: yes, it was in 6.06 too | 10:59 |
| adrian15 | grazie: I thought about damn small linux but I suppose it has no spanish support | 11:00 |
| TheSheep | adrian15: debian :) | 11:00 |
| TheSheep | or slack | 11:01 |
| adrian15 | TheSheep: I do not like slack. | 11:01 |
| adrian15 | TheSheep: Debian is always too old. | 11:01 |
| adrian15 | It is incredible 73 people on #xubuntu I did not know it was so popular. | 11:02 |
| TheSheep | adrian15: funny, ubuntu takes its packages from debian and they are not old :D | 11:02 |
| adrian15 | TheSheep: but what about the kernel ? | 11:02 |
| grazie | adrian15: with that memory I'd be looking at FluxBox or similar for WM myself | 11:02 |
| esc_on_anakin | what will you need the "very" latest kernel for? | 11:03 |
| TheSheep | adrian15: better compile it yourself, for better performance | 11:03 |
| esc_on_anakin | there is that too | 11:03 |

| adrian15 | grazie: I think I will try xubuntu because it seems easier and fancier than fluxbuntu and if it does not convince my boss I'll put fluxbuntu. | 11:13 |
| esc_on_anakin | hmmm, xubuntu is great | 11:14 |
| esc_on_anakin | and the XFCE window manager is a tad fancier than fluxbox | 11:14 |
| esc_on_anakin | i have xubuntu on a few machines at home | 11:15 |
| adrian15 | esc_on_anakin: with 64 MB ram ? | 11:15 |
| esc_on_anakin | you can always, install xubuntu, and then add a fluxbox desktop on top of that | 11:15 |
| esc_on_anakin | tight... | 11:15 |
| adrian15 | tight what does mean ? | 11:16 |
| esc_on_anakin | my smallest machine is a 230 Mhz Pentium MMx 128 MB ram | 11:16 |
| elementz | need help regarding xfce4 and composite manager -> enabled composite in xorg.conf -> but i get no composite tab under window settings | 11:16 |
| esc_on_anakin | i'm not sure it will be enough | 11:16 |
| elementz | esc_on_anakin, are you talking to me? | 11:17 |
| esc_on_anakin | no, sorry am talking to adrian15 | 11:17 |
| elementz | esc_on_anakin, oh ok | 11:17 |
| grazie | adrian15: you don't need to download fluxbuntu to try fluxbox...as esc_on_anakin says... | 11:18 |
| elementz | esc_on_anakin, do you happen to be familiar with composite manager for xfce? | 11:18 |
| esc_on_anakin | adrian15, i would try installing xubuntu, and if its too slow, maybe you can aptitude fluxbox .. depends on your hdd space | 11:18 |
| elementz | or maybe grazie is? | 11:18 |
| esc_on_anakin | no, no idea about transparency yet, command line junky here :-) | 11:19 |
| esc_on_anakin | i just have a terminal | 11:19 |
| esc_on_anakin | and a desktop pager | 11:19 |
| elementz | esc_on_anakin, lol | 11:19 |
| elementz | esc_on_anakin, not bad | 11:19 |
| grazie | elementz: it's a bit fiddly to set up...what version of xubuntu? | 11:20 |
| esc_on_anakin | hence i use XFCE and Fluxbox, XFCE cause i can see whats going on on my desktops, and fluxbox for slow machines | 11:20 |
| cyros | just use fluxbuntu | 11:20 |
| elementz | grazie:actually i am using fluxbuntu updated to edgy then installed xfce via apt-get | 11:21 |
| esc_on_anakin | but i've never spent more than an hour setting them up, i just kinda setup a bunch of ways of starting xterm or Terminal or aterm and i'm set | 11:21 |
| cyros | yea thats what i need to do after is update to edgy | 11:21 |
| cyros | elementz: was that hard to do? | 11:21 |
| elementz | cyros, no not really | 11:22 |

| hyper_ch | TheSheep: how can I see through what port a program tries to transmit data? | 04:51 |
| grazie | TheSheep: I just want to know how pull down the source from the repos rather go elsewhere | 04:51 |

| tuna-fish- | does anyone know a good replacement for xfdesktop? it seems to leak memory (a lot of it, given time. I just termed it at 200MB) and crashes every now and then | 04:52 |
| TheSheep | hyper_ch: nestat -a -p | 04:53 |
| tuna-fish- | or is there a new and improved version somewhere? | 04:53 |
| TheSheep | tuna-fish-: it's fixed a little in edgy and completely in feisty | 04:53 |
| grazie | tuna-fish-: xfesktop is pretty much integral to xfce. xfce 4.4 sorts a lot problems | 04:54 |
| TheSheep | tuna-fish-: you can also install the 4.4 from xfce.org | 04:54 |
| tuna-fish- | do I have to isntall the whole xfce or can I just grab the xfdesktop? | 04:54 |
| hyper_ch | hmm, doesn't help :( | 04:56 |
| === Se2 [n=serqiu@195.22.243.10] has joined #xubuntu | ||

| Se2 | -) | 04:58 |
| Grey_Loki | So i'm trying to install the latest version of XFCE using the graphical installer available from their website, but it says that I need to have the latest version of GTK. | 04:58 |
| Grey_Loki | Doing a search for GTK in Synaptic turns up hundreds of results, though - is it even possible to apt-get it? | 04:59 |
| Se2 | oh | 04:59 |

| === Grey_Loki laughs | ||
| Grey_Loki | Possibly, I suppose | 05:02 |
| Grey_Loki | I'm a bit of an upgrade-a-holic | 05:02 |
| geo_ | grey_loki I'm by far no expert but I think the apt-get gets the latest version? | 05:02 |
| grazie | Grey_Loki: try the Feisty test release or be a little more patient | 05:03 |
| tuna-fish- | is it possible to upgrade to feisty not by the cd but from specifying a feisty repo? | 05:03 |
| grazie | tuna-fish-: not a sensible thing to do right now | 05:04 |
| tuna-fish- | I know :) | 05:04 |
| Grey_Loki | grazie, I think i'll try being more virtuous ;) | 05:04 |
| grazie | lol. a bit boring though | 05:05 |
| Grey_Loki | geo_, I was just asking what the specific package name is, since 'gtk' gave me no hits using apt-get, and too many using Synaptic. | 05:05 |
| geo_ | what are you trying to fix? | 05:06 |
| Grey_Loki | Nothing | 05:07 |
| maxamillion | where is the release file .... i can't remember where the file is but its something like "cat /some/file.release" | 05:08 |
| Grey_Loki | I just saw some purty things in xfce-look, and found out that they are only available in the latest version of XFCE | 05:09 |
| Grey_Loki | Transparency, etc | 05:09 |
| grazie | Grey_Loki: the thing is if you try to upgrade to xfce 4.4 outside the package manager and it borks, nobody will help you...you're on your own matey :) | 05:09 |

| geo_ | well to clarify some people were talking about how cool it is in fiesty, I don't know how/if you can get it to work on edgy | 05:12 |
| grazie | geo_: no. it's supported by edgy, it just not turned on properly | 05:12 |
| geo_ | I stand corrected then, lol | 05:12 |

| stonekeeper | ooh.. seems more people are on now, I'll reask my question: A friend of mine just installed xubuntu on an old laptop. He claims that he installed all his dial-up properties fine but he couldn't find a way of "activating" it. I wasn't with him so sorry if this isn't clear enough. Looking around, it seems that he'd need xfce-modem-lights. Is this part of xubuntu? Any tips on how to actually dial up? thanks. | 05:16 |
| tuna-fish- | nah, stability is overrated. Downloading herd3 iso now :) | 05:16 |
| maxamillion | lol | 05:17 |
| Grey_Loki | stonekeeper, for that sort of thing, I would run 'gksudo network-admin', and see what it turns up | 05:17 |
| grazie | tuna-fish-: Should I quote that next time you have a problem? | 05:17 |
| tuna-fish- | feel free. | 05:17 |
| grazie | :) | 05:17 |
| stonekeeper | Grey_Loki: i pointed him at the standard networking client but he said there was no activate button | 05:18 |
| maxamillion | stonekeeper: if xfce-modem-lights is an actual component/tool/plug-in for xfce, it can be installed on xubuntu | 05:18 |
| grazie | maxamillion: can ALL ubuntu packages be built from source from the src repos? | 05:19 |
| maxamillion | grazie: uhmmm... yes they should be able to be as long as you have the build-essentials package | 05:20 |
| stonekeeper | maxamillion: but he can't get online! :) he says that whenever he tries to install anything it tries to go online! | 05:20 |
| maxamillion | stonekeeper: ah ... yes, that could become a problem | 05:21 |
| grazie | maxamillion: so what's the difference in apt-get then (so you don't pull down the binaries) | 05:21 |
| geo_ | ok I have a question too it seems the alarm in orage doesn't work or I'm missing something? can some tell me how to get it working or suggest another desktop calendar that's better for setting alarms | 05:21 |
| maxamillion | grazie: more or less, yes .... but i think apt-get and apt-src are completely independant applications that both comply with apt | 05:21 |
| maxamillion | grazie: wait ... nvm | 05:22 |
| grazie | maxamillion: Ah! use apt-src? Is that what I was missing,,,still new to apt | 05:23 |
| maxamillion | grazie: no, it doesn't seem like apt-src exists, i might have made that up ... gimme a minute to figure this out (i never compile anything) | 05:24 |
| grazie | maxamillion: i've looked at lots of links, but mostly ones where people are failing | 05:25 |
| grazie | i can build the kernel no problems | 05:25 |
| maxamillion | grazie: no ... apt-src exists, just doesn't appear to be installed by default | 05:25 |
| maxamillion | grazie: ok.... thought i was going crazy for a minute there | 05:25 |
| grazie | I'll read up | 05:25 |
| geo_ | hmm | 05:26 |
| maxamillion | grazie: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/apt-src | 05:26 |
| grazie | great, thanks maxamillion | 05:26 |
| maxamillion | grazie: np | 05:26 |
| geo_ | no calendar gurus? | 05:27 |
| maxamillion | grazie: yeah ... so apparently i was right and apt-src is completly independant from apt-get and is just apt compliant for source packages .... the man page hosted here http://pwet.fr/man/linux/commandes/p/apt_src | 05:27 |
| maxamillion | geo_: can't say i am :( | 05:27 |
| grazie | geo_: I'm not either, but people usually like orage | 05:28 |
| Grey_Loki | Orage++ | 05:28 |
| maxamillion | grazie: he can't get the orage alarms to work | 05:28 |
| Grey_Loki | I use it all the time for my Uni projects, etc | 05:28 |
| maxamillion | 10:22 < geo_> ok I have a question too it seems the alarm in orage doesn't work or I'm missing something? can some tell me how to get it working or suggest another desktop calendar that's better for setting alarms | 05:28 |

| grazie | maxamillion: geo_'s message just now? | 05:33 |
| grazie | maxamillion: 10:22 < geo_> ok I have a question... | 05:34 |
| maxamillion | grazie: well ... i use irssi, just used "page up" and then copy and pasted the message | 05:35 |
| grazie | maxamillion: but you weren't logged then? | 05:35 |
| grazie | maxamillion: i see...time zones | 05:36 |
| maxamillion | grazie: no, irssi does the default .... timestamps next to every post | 05:36 |
| maxamillion | that* | 05:36 |
| maxamillion | grazie: i do have a server that logs for me though .... see the user notMax? ... that's my log server | 05:37 |
| grazie | maxamillion: no. 10:22 there is 16:22 here... that's what confused me. | 05:37 |
| maxamillion | grazie: ooooh, yeah ... 10:22 is what time it is on my machine (and where i am sitting) | 05:38 |

| maxamillion | leaphisto: sudo mount /dev/sda5 | 05:43 |
| geo_ | ok, my issues is I did that, set the alarm for 3 minutes from then, and waited | 05:43 |
| maxamillion | leaphisto: if that says its not in the /etc/fstab then we will have to edit the fstab accordingly | 05:43 |

| drx0drx | greetings, can anyone help me with "unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member' " when mounting a partition /dev/sdb2 to a mountpoint? | 08:22 |
| TheSheep | drx0drx: seems like it contains a part of lvm volume, not actual filesysytem | 08:26 |
| TheSheep | !lvm | drx0drx | 08:26 |
| ubotu | drx0drx: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO | 08:26 |
| drx0drx | TheSheep, true, it's an ext3 partition in an LVM volume from another system... how do I mount it here? | 08:27 |
| TheSheep | drx0drx: the howto should cover that | 08:27 |
| TheSheep | or at least contain helpful links | 08:28 |
| TheSheep | I don't have much experience with lvm myself | 08:28 |
| drx0drx | TheSheep, I'm a bit of a newbie, but i think that's how i got to mkdir /mnt/mountpoint mount /dev/sdb /mnt/mountpoint, but I don't know what to do about the error | 08:28 |
| TheSheep | drx0drx: basically, you need to mount a virstual lvm device, not the partition itself | 08:29 |
| TheSheep | drx0drx: to do that, you must have lvm configured the same way as on the original system | 08:29 |
| drx0drx | TheSheep, this is a second hard drive in a system that also has an LVM partition, is that what you mean? | 08:30 |
| TheSheep | drx0drx: please read that howto, it should clear some things for you | 08:31 |
| drx0drx | TheSheep, which howto? | 08:32 |
| TheSheep | drx0drx: the one ubotu told you about several lines ago | 08:32 |
| drx0drx | TheSheep, that one tells you how to mount a /dev/hdn to a mountpoint, but it doesn't talk about LVM volumes nor mention the error | 08:33 |
| TheSheep | http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/whatisvolman.html | 08:34 |
| drx0drx | TheSheep, thanks! | 08:35 |

| hpp3 | #ubuntuforums kicked me over here, but i have a more general question | 08:57 |
| hpp3 | i am using xubuntu and was looking on ubuntuforums about editing/changing mime types | 08:57 |
| drx0drx | can anyone tell me why I have a lost+found where my files used to be? | 08:58 |
| hpp3 | figured out how to do it through the file manager (thunar) but wondered what the file was where that info is actually stored | 08:58 |
| hpp3 | drx0drx: is it a remote folder? | 08:59 |
| hpp3 | like on samba or nfs? | 08:59 |
| drx0drx | hpp3, no, it's a local SATA drive (not present when OS installed) | 09:00 |
| hpp3 | hmm... so it just suddenly gave you a lost+found one day? | 09:00 |
| hpp3 | usually those files get made when you format a drive like makext2fs /dev/urdrive | 09:01 |
| drx0drx | hpp3, no just ran install with recovery b/c it wouldn't mount, NO format | 09:02 |
| leaphisto | can you remove the lost+found folder? | 09:02 |
| hpp3 | so your files are probably still on it. | 09:02 |
| hpp3 | suspicious that it wouldn't mount | 09:03 |
| hpp3 | did the install recovery process give you any info on that drive as it was doing its thing? | 09:03 |
| drx0drx | hpp3, I installed Windows and someone told me that it may incorrectly number partitions and overwrite parition table, the repair threw a "bad superblock" error but couldn't fix it | 09:04 |
| hpp3 | ooh, did you install Win before or after Ubuntu? | 09:05 |
| === mesarpe [i=mesarpe@host173.200-45-59.telecom.net.ar] has left #xubuntu [] | ||
| drx0drx | hpp3, after | 09:06 |
| hpp3 | mmm... bad | 09:07 |
| hpp3 | standard advice is to install Windows first, if you are going to dual boot | 09:07 |
| hpp3 | chances are, windows did mess up something, but I couldn't say for sure exactly what | 09:08 |
| drx0drx | hpp3, well, any hope of recovering my files from the LVM/ext3 partition? | 09:08 |
| somerville32 | !grub | 09:08 |
| ubotu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 09:08 |
| hpp3 | hmmm... have you tried using a live disk to see if you can at least see the disk contents | 09:09 |
| hpp3 | good advice that grub | 09:09 |
| hpp3 | at least restore the method to get back to Linux | 09:09 |
| drx0drx | hpp3, I can mount the LVM ext3 partition manually, it just has no files. I don't care so much about saving Linux & repairing GRUB as I do about the 40 hours of work that went into the files on the volume (unless that's the only way to get them back) | 09:10 |
| hpp3 | if everything you've done does not include formatting, then chances are the files are still there | 09:14 |
| hpp3 | is anything in the lost+found folder? | 09:14 |
| hpp3 | ( dumb question, I know, but trying all bases here...) | 09:15 |
| drx0drx | hpp3, no, it's empty. | 09:15 |

| drx0drx | hpp3, repair install couldn't determine partition starting & ending block & didn't appear to mount it let alone format it, etc\ | 09:17 |
| hpp3 | I've been having similar problems with partition errors due to gparted doing some funky things | 09:18 |
| hpp3 | can windows read it? | 09:18 |
| hpp3 | ooh even stupider question, sorry | 09:19 |
| hpp3 | wait, there is a ext3 driver for windows, maybe try that | 09:19 |
| hpp3 | hold on, searching... | 09:19 |
| fxr | can someone explain the difference between su & sudo for me? | 09:20 |

| drx0drx | hpp3, windows is out of the picture right now... for me it's fix Linux, fix partition table, read files, or redo 40 hours :'( | 09:20 |
| hpp3 | eek | 09:21 |
| kalikiana|rejoin | fxr, su creates a root shell while sudo runs a single command as the superuser | 09:21 |
| mesarpe | Hi! I detect on my /var/log/Xorg.0.log the following error: /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF No such file or directory ! How to I install those fonts? | 09:21 |

| hpp3 | drx0drx: i really hate to leave you hanging, but I have to go. Keep searching google i'm sure there is a solution. | 09:31 |
| hpp3 | and stay away from gparted from now on | 09:31 |
| hpp3 | cfdisk makes sane solid partitions every time | 09:31 |
| hpp3 | email me hpp3 at blue bottle dot com and i'll let you know if i find out anything more | 09:33 |
| hpp3 | maybe that would be a last-minute solution, try to restore the partition table with cfdisk -z | 09:34 |
| drx0drx | hpp3, oh yeah, before the repair install, I ran resierfsck --fix-fixable and also --rebuild-superblock ... | 09:35 |
| drx0drx | hpp3, but the odd thing is I did this on the mirror and left the original drive alone so I don't think these steps hurt at all | 09:35 |
| drx0drx | hpp3, both the mirror and the master show lost+found, so Windows pretty much hosed me and I don't see any towels anywhere in sight :( | 09:36 |
| hpp3 | wait, you did a *reiser* fsck on a *ext3* format? | 09:36 |
| drx0drx | hpp3, I also ran fsck -- the drive has both partition types | 09:36 |
| drx0drx | hpp3, but like I said, I don't think any of those measures were destructive, just Windows | 09:37 |
| hpp3 | so the drive has two partitions, one reiser and the other ext3? | 09:37 |
| hpp3 | and the files you need are on the reiser part? | 09:37 |
| hpp3 | i don't know much about --rebuild-superblock, but it sounds heavy | 09:38 |
| hpp3 | is that supposed to be non-destructive? | 09:38 |
| drx0drx | hpp3, it was nondestructive because it didn't work (and the mirror and master RAID 1 pair still match, both hosed the same way) | 09:39 |
| hpp3 | oh | 09:40 |

| drx0drx | hpp3, I do appreciate the effort nevertheless | 09:43 |
| hpp3 | ok | 09:43 |
| hpp3 | I hope it goes well this time around... | 09:44 |
| hpp3 | i really gotta go | 09:44 |
| hpp3 | maybe i'll find you again on the forum? | 09:44 |
| hpp3 | let me know if you find out anything new | 09:44 |
| hpp3 | I | 09:45 |
| hpp3 | *'m curious as to exactly what happened | 09:45 |
| drx0drx | hpp3, I think Windows overwrote the partition table and the repair tools couldn't put it back and that ended it. Thanks. | 09:46 |

| cyberyak | exactly. | 10:57 |
| Zaggynl | Meh, I got gentoo and archlinux working, this shouldn't be too difficult :P | 10:58 |
| cyberyak | like the net installs we used to do with debian. | 10:58 |
| cyberyak | now, I didn't use xubuntu-desktop, which means that my install will probably be hosed when I go to do a dist-upgrade. | 10:58 |
| cyberyak | but I am testing to see how badly it will be hosed. | 10:59 |
| cyberyak | this is day one. | 10:59 |

| cyberyak | and then change my sources.lst file to feisty and update again. | 11:00 |
| cyberyak | I realize that there are many opportunities for failures with this. | 11:01 |
| cyberyak | but that is what I am trying. | 11:01 |
| cyberyak | currently, I am only using 505M of 768 and no swap. | 11:02 |
| Zaggynl | xubuntu-desktop can hose your 'puter? :( | 11:02 |
| cyberyak | NO! | 11:02 |
| cyberyak | that's not what I meant. | 11:02 |
| cyberyak | I am not using it. | 11:02 |
| cyberyak | it has worked fine on the other machines that I have installed it on. | 11:03 |
| cyberyak | it is the meta package that keeps everything in check. | 11:03 |
| cyberyak | since I am *not* using it, I may run into problems upgrading at some point. | 11:03 |
| cyberyak | does that make more sense? | 11:07 |

| drx0drx | cyberyak, yes i know, but how do I configure the parititions (ideally, I'd like 1GB boot ext3, 17GB swap, 41GB ext3, and 52GB NTFS in an extended partition, but this isn't happening) | 11:16 |
| cyberyak | 1G boot? 17G swap? what kind of system is this? | 11:17 |
| === noname [n=noname@h178n1c1o266.bredband.skanova.com] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| cyberyak | ok, using those numbers, I make them all primary partitions. you can have 4 | 11:18 |
| cyberyak | I would leave the ntfs part as the first primary and make everything else later. | 11:18 |
| cyberyak | I don't know what the current reccomendations are, but I am still using only a 100 MB +/- Boot. | 11:19 |
| cyberyak | I don't usually keep multiple kernels. | 11:19 |
| drx0drx | cyberyak, I wanted Linux to have the first 3 primaries and Windows in the Extended, but Windows won't let me. | 11:19 |
| cyberyak | nope | 11:19 |
| cyberyak | windows doesn't like to be anything beyond part1 | 11:20 |
| cyberyak | make all 4 primarys | 11:20 |
| drx0drx | cyberyak, so now I'm thinking 6GB FAT32 partition for Windows & Linux boot, then my swap primary, then Linux ext3, then extended | 11:20 |
| drx0drx | can Linux use Fat32 for it | 11:20 |
| drx0drx | 's boot partition? | 11:21 |
| cyberyak | I have never tried. | 11:21 |
| cyberyak | ok, how big do you want your windows part? | 11:21 |
| cyberyak | for my dual boot systems. | 11:22 |
| cyberyak | I have first part for windows-Primary-NTFS | 11:22 |
| drx0drx | I wanted 52GB, but I was told to keep it down because Linux won't boot outisde the first 1024 disk cylinders, so I'm thinking 6GB | 11:22 |
| cyberyak | second part for data fat 32. | 11:22 |
| drx0drx | but Linux can't write to NTFS (reliably), right?> | 11:22 |
| cyberyak | thus my second part of fat32 | 11:22 |
| cyberyak | third part is Linux -primary-EXT3 (or reiser or jfs) mountpoint is / | 11:23 |
| cyberyak | and the fourth is SWAP | 11:23 |
| Zaggynl | ugh | 11:24 |
| Zaggynl | installation is done | 11:24 |
| Zaggynl | but I forgot what I put in as username >< | 11:24 |

| cyberyak | and don't have access to something. | 11:25 |
| drx0drx | cyberyak, can the Linux boot partition be FAT32? | 11:25 |
| cyberyak | Zaggynl, I would boot to the cd, mount / | 11:25 |
| Zaggynl | okay | 11:26 |
| cyberyak | and cat /etc/passwd | 11:26 |
| Zaggynl | rebooting with cd now | 11:26 |
| Zaggynl | D: | 11:26 |
| Zaggynl | Aren't those put into a hash somewhere? | 11:26 |
| cyberyak | /etc/passwd will have usernames in clear text | 11:26 |

| Zaggynl | man I gotta sleep more | 11:27 |

| Zaggynl | silly me | 11:29 |
| cyberyak | doh! | 11:29 |
| cyberyak | didn't realize you were doing an oem install | 11:29 |
| cyberyak | it doesn't ask for username | 11:30 |
| cyberyak | and uses oem | 11:30 |
| Zaggynl | yeah, I was wondering why it did that | 11:30 |
| cyberyak | there is an oem-reconfig script or something that allows you to change all that stuff. | 11:31 |
| cyberyak | that's not the script name. | 11:31 |
| cyberyak | but I can't think of the real one. | 11:31 |
| cyberyak | drx0drx, This should work for you: Part 1Primary NTFSwindows | 11:31 |
| cyberyak | Part 2Primary ext3/ | 11:31 |

| Zaggynl | rofl | 11:32 |
| Zaggynl | I typed OEM in caps | 11:32 |
| Zaggynl | now the whole login is in caps D: | 11:32 |
| cyberyak | if not, you will need to split out part 4 to be extended and place your other LINUX partitions in there.] | 11:32 |
| cyberyak | drx0drx, Linux doesn't care about primary/extended partitions. Windows does. | 11:33 |
| cyberyak | (because it sux) | 11:33 |
| cyberyak | sorry. | 11:33 |
| drx0drx | cyberyak, will Linux be able to boot from an NTFS partition? | 11:33 |
| cyberyak | that doesn't matter. | 11:33 |
| cyberyak | the boot code is the first 466(might be off a byte or 2) bytes of the first track. | 11:34 |
| drx0drx | cyberyak, am I correct to understand that all of Windows and just Linux boot loader (Grub) will be on the NTFS partition? | 11:34 |
| cyberyak | it will be on the master boot record which exists before the partitions. | 11:35 |
| === megamaced [n=david@62-31-57-163.cable.ubr01.dals.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| cyberyak | the master boot record (MBR) is a small area at the beginning of the disk that keeps the partition table and the boot loader. | 11:36 |
| drx0drx | that's very helpful, so GRUB will see Windows and offer it up as a choice. Can I place the swap in an extended partition? Does it matter?> | 11:36 |
| cyberyak | the boot loader then points you to whichever partition has the OS. | 11:36 |
| cyberyak | doesn't matter. | 11:36 |
| cyberyak | Yes, you can point grub to windows. | 11:37 |
| cyberyak | when you are installing, it may even offer you an option to add to grub. | 11:37 |

| cyberyak | wait | 11:54 |
| Brandy | ohhhh, yes | 11:54 |
| cyberyak | that was edgy | 11:54 |
| Brandy | To run the Desktop CD (LiveCD + Install CD), you need 128 MB RAM to run or 192 MB RAM to install. The Alternate Install CD only required you to have 64 MB RAM. | 11:54 |
| cyberyak | use dapper | 11:54 |
| cyberyak | http://ubuntu-cdimage.datahop.it/xubuntu/releases/6.06.1/release.1/ | 11:54 |
| cyberyak | that's italy | 11:54 |
| Brandy | why dapper? it needs less memory? | 11:55 |
| cyberyak | the 2nd portugal link seems to be pretty quick too. | 11:55 |
| CSonicGo | hey guys, are there any "catches" involved in compiling and installing the new linux kernel | 11:55 |
| cyberyak | less stuff. | 11:55 |
| cyberyak | less stuff = less memory. | 11:55 |
| CSonicGo | I really need to upgrade it to fix a naggling bugg that is making my computer freeze :() | 11:55 |
| cyberyak | I'm just going based on what maxamillion said earlier. | 11:55 |
| cyberyak | CSonicGo, um, none that I know of. | 11:56 |
| cyberyak | I haven't compiled one in a long time. | 11:56 |
| CSonicGo | oh | 11:56 |
| CSonicGo | so I can just compile it, install it and everything will be business as usual? | 11:56 |
| cyberyak | apt-get install _____ (kernel) | 11:57 |
| cyberyak | should be able to. | 11:57 |
| cyberyak | I don't know what version you are referring to and what you will/won't include. | 11:57 |
| maxamillion | Brandy: as history has shown, there are some complications with edgy and low memory systems, thats the only reason i recommend dapper over edgy for that machine you speak of | 11:57 |
| cyberyak | you could break all sorts of stuff. | 11:57 |
| CSonicGo | cyberyak, I'm talking of the newly released linux kernel | 11:57 |
| CSonicGo | 2.6.20 I believe | 11:57 |
| maxamillion | CSonicGo: what about the 2.6.20 kernel | 11:58 |
| maxamillion | ?* | 11:58 |
| CSonicGo | it was just released | 11:58 |
| CSonicGo | I was told to fix a problem I had I was to upgrade to it | 11:59 |
| maxamillion | CSonicGo: yes, it was ... its in the feisty repositories already so if you feel adventurous enough to run Feisty Alpha3, then you are golden | 11:59 |
| Brandy | maxamillion: what about if I find 128 Mb more ram? dapper is still the best choice? | 11:59 |
| CSonicGo | oooh ok! | 11:59 |
| cyberyak | Brandy, then you just run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 11:59 |
| maxamillion | CSonicGo: otherwise a kernel upgrade could poentially hurt your system because of software compatibility (alot of which i have noticed is a result of how ubuntu does things) | 12:00 |
| maxamillion | Brandy: if you add 128mb more ram, i would actually recommend edgy and use the desktop/live installation cd because it will have enough ram to do everything you need and edgy will give you the newer software packages | 12:00 |
| cyberyak | or what maxamillion said. | 12:01 |
| Brandy | ok, thank you to everybody... you have been very very nice | 12:01 |
