| Bogus8 | slax sorta saw it | 12:32 |
| Sharn | get an IDE to SD adapter. :P | 12:32 |
| Bogus8 | lspci showed the reader but that is as far as it would get | 12:33 |
| Bogus8 | Sharn: A. it's a laptop B. if they made one that was flush mounted I would | 12:33 |

| Sharn | Bogus8: I know what you mean, but if you can't get anything to work, they make the the exact size of a drive. I'd imagine they do for 3.5" laptop drives too. | 12:37 |
| jdrake | xinit can't find /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc, thus fails to start X11. | 12:38 |
| jdrake | I have removed and reinstalled twice, xubuntu-desktop. | 12:38 |
| Sharn | Did you reinstall xubuntu-desktop already? | 12:38 |
| Sharn | Oh, ok. | 12:39 |
| Bogus8 | Sharn: any links for these adapters? | 12:42 |
| maxamillion | jdrake: i think its because you tried to install xfce4.4 stable manually, so it isn't managed by the package manager and thus ... uninstalling and re-installing packages handled by the package manager isn't effecting what you did manually (as we would hope it wouldn't) | 12:42 |

| Dylan_ | Err, quick question. | 12:45 |
| Sharn | We're here. :P | 12:46 |
| Dylan_ | I have a PowerPC G3 that used to have Tiger on it. | 12:46 |
| Dylan_ | I got tired of it running like a bloody behemoth and put xubuntu on it, natrually. | 12:46 |
| Sharn | Bogus8: maybe they don't make them for SD. They definately do for CF, but that does you no good. | 12:46 |
| Bogus8 | maxamillion: I know what it stands for :p what's the relevance? | 12:46 |
| Dylan_ | And it works fine and all, I just... I need a Mac OS. | 12:46 |
| Bogus8 | Sharn: no sweat | 12:47 |
| maxamillion | Bogus8: that link is a list of supported cards | 12:47 |
| maxamillion | Dylan_: why do you need Mac OS? | 12:47 |
| Dylan_ | So I put in a Mac OS 9 install disc, and it won't acknowledge my hard drive. | 12:47 |
| Dylan_ | I'm a total idiot with computers, let along Linux. | 12:47 |
| maxamillion | Dylan_: because the hard drive is formatted as an ext3, you will need to partition it | 12:47 |
| Bogus8 | maxamillion: I'm not looking for wlan cards | 12:47 |
| Dylan_ | Oh, ok. | 12:48 |
| Dylan_ | How do you partition in Xubuntu? | 12:48 |
| maxamillion | Bogus8: lol ... sorry, i just realized i completely mis-read your first question | 12:48 |
| maxamillion | Dylan_: boot into the live (desktop) cd and use the "Gnome Partition Manager" | 12:48 |

| Dylan_ | Ok. | 12:49 |
| Bogus8 | maxamillion: haha, yeah a little of topic ;) | 12:49 |

| cellofellow | that's for my current session. I want the login screen to have different colors and buttons. | 01:13 |

| cellofellow | Clearlooks or Murrina is what I want, not Human. | 01:15 |

| Dylan_ | Yeah... | 01:16 |
| grazie | Dylan_: : best re-install MacOs and then Xubuntu for an easy life | 01:16 |
| Dylan_ | Hmm. | 01:16 |

| grazie | Dylan_: not following you? | 01:17 |
| cellofellow | you can expand partitions, but not move them | 01:17 |
| Sharn | Dylan_: jsut delete it all and remake it, unless you have stuff your keeping. | 01:17 |
| cellofellow | shrink them too | 01:18 |
| Dylan_ | Oh, ok. | 01:18 |
| jdrake | eek, I uninstalled bind, no dns for me. | 01:18 |
| cellofellow | :( not good | 01:18 |
| cellofellow | to reinstall you need apt, but apt uses DNS to resolve hosts. | 01:18 |
| cellofellow | I know, I'll get you an IP address to put in sources.list | 01:19 |

| jdrake | I thought that os9 used hfs+ | 01:46 |

| Sharn | jdrake: it's just so cool though. =D | 01:49 |

| Sharn | I have an ATI card. | 03:27 |
| magic_ninja | ohh | 03:28 |
| magic_ninja | i am honestly lost and i can't even apt-get at the moment, are the servers down? | 03:28 |

| === Laibsc1 is now known as Laibsch | ||
| magic_ninja | and my apt servers aren't working so i changed to canadian servers | 03:41 |
| j1mc | magic_ninja, the restricted modules suggestion sounds like a good one. | 03:46 |
| j1mc | i'm not a total pro myself, though. | 03:46 |
| j1mc | is there a problem with the repo's today? i tried doing an update a little bit ago, and it failed for me. | 03:47 |
| magic_ninja | j1mc us.archives don't seem to be working | 03:48 |
| magic_ninja | i am just using the ca.archives for now | 03:48 |
| j1mc | darn u.s. archves!! ;-) | 03:49 |
| magic_ninja | j1mc whats the package name for linux-restricted moduels | 03:49 |
| j1mc | lemme check | 03:49 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | linux-restricted-modules-generic | 03:50 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | linux-restricted-modules-common is probably necessary too. | 03:50 |
| j1mc | linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` | 03:51 |
| j1mc | that should do it. | 03:51 |
| magic_ninja | PuMpErNiCkLe you always pop in with the answer to those crazy questions i have | 03:51 |
| j1mc | do you think, PuMpErNiCkLe ? | 03:51 |
| Sharn | Rofl, he pops in for lots of peoples crazy questions. | 03:51 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | It's a bunch of helper scripts. I'm not sure of the details, but since it's there... | 03:51 |
| j1mc | PuMpErNiCkLe, is great. :) s/he helped me on saturday morning. :) | 03:51 |
| magic_ninja | ok so i think the problem is that my restricted modules are 11 and the kernel is 10 | 03:51 |
| magic_ninja | and i don't think i can break my system any more lol | 03:52 |
| j1mc | i think including the 'uname -r' will include your current kernel version. | 03:52 |
| j1mc | do you think that's correct, PuMpErNiCkLe ? | 03:53 |
| magic_ninja | well for some reason it seems that apt said it installed when it didn't | 03:54 |
| magic_ninja | my guess is i got an incomplete update because of poofed repos | 03:54 |
| j1mc | sorry . . . magic_ninja , make sure that the single-quote looking thing is actually the one taken from the key just to the left of the #1 key | 03:54 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | j1mc: Yeah, with the backticks. | 03:54 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | Or do $(uname -r) instead of backticks. | 03:54 |
| j1mc | magic_ninja, on my keyboard, it's on the same key as the tilda. | 03:55 |
| magic_ninja | whats the kernel package name look like | 03:55 |
| magic_ninja | what are backticks | 03:55 |

| j1mc | hrm. | 04:03 |
| j1mc | brb | 04:03 |
| magic_ninja | Sharn: because apt repos were down the install didn't install certain files and i updated with half of the new kernel, but since i didn't have my version 11 restricted modules and the version 10 were removed...it created a hellstorm for me | 04:04 |

| morphir | Jester45, I got feisty(latest) burned out. But I haven't taken it for a spin yet | 01:14 |
| morphir | what is so feisty about it anyway? | 01:14 |
| Jester45 | the daily?her | 01:14 |
| Jester45 | its a new version | 01:14 |
| morphir | new features? | 01:15 |
| Jester45 | yes | 01:15 |
| Jester45 | has new versions of installed packages that are hard to safely install on older version | 01:15 |
| morphir | but that is not a feature it self, is it? | 01:16 |
| Jester45 | well | 01:16 |
| Jester45 | it has the new xfce and that has new featers | 01:16 |
| morphir | right | 01:17 |
| morphir | has xfce 4.4 gotten heavier? | 01:17 |
| Jester45 | i think so | 01:17 |
| morphir | as long as there is a vast difference between memory footprint in gnome and xfce..I'll stay satisfied | 01:19 |
| Jester45 | it will be | 01:21 |

| rmjb | hey guys | 09:59 |
| rmjb | just to let you all know the upgrade from dapper to edgy went okay(ish) | 09:59 |
| grazie | Blaise: most other stuff works? | 10:00 |
| rmjb | I had to manually re-install xubuntu-desktop since it was removed on the first dist-upgrade | 10:00 |
| Blaise | well I'm using Gaim form teh same amchine | 10:00 |
| Blaise | *machine | 10:00 |
| Blaise | and Synaptic works, calculator | 10:00 |
| Blaise | file manager is ok | 10:00 |
| rmjb | and I ran dist-upgrade about 5 times before rebooting | 10:00 |
| jonah1980 | Blaise, it says silicon integrated systems! | 10:01 |
| Blaise | weird, is this a laptop you're using? | 10:01 |
| grazie | Blaise: do you have any other browsers installed? | 10:01 |
| Blaise | no | 10:01 |
| Blaise | the same happens if I run from the LiveCD (which I'm doing atm) | 10:02 |
| grazie | Blaise: oh? | 10:02 |
| jonah1980 | Blaise, not a laptop, this is an old windows millenium pc, so not sure if ati or amd! or either | 10:02 |
| Blaise | When I installed, I tried upgrading Firefox using Synaptic, which went well, but still the same problem | 10:03 |
| grazie | Blaise: browsers have never worked on installation or on live cd, yes? | 10:04 |
| grazie | jonah1980: try 'lspci | grep -i vga' | 10:05 |
| Blaise | jonah1980: It sounds like your graphics card is an onboard motehrboard GPU | 10:05 |
| Blaise | Grazie: correct, liveCD (which I'm using now) same error | 10:05 |
| jonah1980 | so does that mean i can't install nvidia or ati driver for 3d etc? | 10:06 |
| jonah1980 | in xorg.conf it says driver is "sis" | 10:06 |
| jonah1980 | where it would normally have nv or nvidia/ati etc | 10:06 |
| Blaise | What else does it say apart from Silicon Integrated Systems? | 10:06 |
| Blaise | yes it sounds like it's another chipset altogether | 10:06 |
| grazie | Blaise: i dunno what to suggest...seem odds...used any other distro? | 10:07 |
| Blaise | have you tried searching the Ubuntu forums for SIS? | 10:07 |
| Blaise | grazie: I've not tried on this machine, no, perhaps the CD is corrupt :( | 10:07 |

| Dingolan | yet everything else but the install is running just fine | 10:45 |

| nicolah | I don't want to polemic, just to understand | 10:49 |
| Blais1 | ok i'll try | 10:50 |
| grazie | nicolah: if you won't something badly in linux, just do it you it for yourself :) | 10:51 |
| nicolah | Unfortunately I'm just a user, I don't know anything about coding and stuff. Anyway I think that a working menu editor is more important than other stuff. By the way it looks like this is just my opinion, I like xfce | 10:52 |

| Jester45 | yes | 11:56 |
| Jester45 | what kind of disk are you meaning | 11:56 |
| jdrake | I would like to be able to create an ext3 image to be able to mount on a double click. That is all. | 11:58 |
| jdrake | image being a file instead of an actual drive | 11:58 |

| Jester45 | or /path/to/image | 12:01 |
