| cellofellow | I accidently typed ctrl+alt+l and the whole system went screwy. It locked up and the little lights on the keyboard (num lock, caps lock, scroll lock) began to blink. I restarted X using SSH but it did no good. What happened? How to I undo it if it does it again? | 12:36 |

| Jester45 | cellofellow: i got gb ether | 12:38 |
| cellofellow | so, what's this ctrl+alt+l thing. It looked like it's supposed to do that cause it did it again. How do I undo it? | 12:38 |
| cellofellow | Jester45: yeah, I know | 12:38 |
| Jester45 | well a dvd a day adds up quick | 12:39 |

| Jester45 | no php sql or anything | 12:54 |

| Jester45 | but i didnt like that so much | 12:55 |
| cellofellow | I've installed WordPress on a hosted machine that had a simple web interface for it. But all it did was create a database and copy pre-configured files. | 12:55 |
| cellofellow | No, not Nvu. | 12:55 |
| cellofellow | If you use WordPress you can use BloGTK to write for it. | 12:55 |
| Jester45 | i would like somthing that i can use templates with but... beable to customize them graphicaly | 12:56 |
| cellofellow | wordpress has templates, but if you want graphical customization of the template all I know is Blogger 2. | 12:56 |
| grazie | Jester45: apache + php + mysql + wordpress = blog....easy | 12:57 |
| Jester45 | iu really dont want to run php and mysql | 12:57 |
| cellofellow | Jester45: use phpmyadmin for the mysql stuff and just use the repo version of wordpress. | 12:57 |
| Jester45 | ok... | 12:58 |
| cellofellow | well, there may be a blog that runs in Python and SQLite or flat files. | 12:58 |

| maxamillion | oh lol | 01:00 |
| maxamillion | yeah, rgr | 01:00 |
| maxamillion | same difference | 01:00 |
| cellofellow | there should be a blog companion for moinmoin. | 01:01 |
| maxamillion | or just run something like drupal or joomla and blog on that :P | 01:01 |
| cellofellow | I said wordpress. He doesn't want to bother with PHP+MySQL. | 01:02 |
| grazie | Jester45: there's blosxom if you like perl and flat files | 01:04 |
| Jester45 | would that be less resource usage? | 01:04 |
| cellofellow | perl is a little faster than PHP I think. | 01:05 |
| cellofellow | and no database | 01:05 |
| grazie | Jester45: oh yeah, but once you get a lot of data it'll start to crawl | 01:05 |
| Jester45 | a lot of data as in? webpages? | 01:06 |
| maxamillion | cellofellow: i think they are actually pretty comparable for simple functions | 01:06 |

| Jester45 | how much resources will php and mysql use? | 01:13 |
| Jester45 | im running that server on a lowend machine | 01:14 |
| cellofellow | PHP not much, only runs when called. MySQL will be a little burdensome but not too bad. | 01:14 |

| Jester45 | i use flac | 01:20 |
| cellofellow | My speakers aren't so hot, so CD and Ogg sound about the same. | 01:20 |

| Jester45 | it is the same | 01:20 |
| Jester45 | lossless | 01:20 |

| maxamillion | errr data partition* | 01:22 |
| cellofellow | oh, so NTFS WinXP root, ext3 Linux root, and fat32 data part? | 01:22 |
| Jester45 | well i have many diffrent setups | 01:22 |
| Jester45 | thats kinda strange | 01:22 |
| cellofellow | I have one partition per disk, 'cept the root has a swap too, and three disks. | 01:23 |
| siegfried__ | I had it working on knoppix a few days ago and now I cannot boot knoppix from CD or flash stick any more. I cannot figure out what changed. | 01:23 |
| Jester45 | whynot just a ntfs data/ windows | 01:23 |
| Jester45 | cellofellow: now what i apt-get ed | 01:23 |
| cellofellow | siegfried__: sorry, outdated hardware keeps me from booting from USB. | 01:23 |
| cellofellow | Jester45: also install phpmyadmin to set it up from a web interface. | 01:24 |

| Jester45 | ok now what | 01:27 |
| cellofellow | apt-get install wordpress too | 01:27 |
| Jester45 | ok now what | 01:27 |
| cellofellow | and read the docs. Honestly I don't really know | 01:27 |
| Jester45 | o man... | 01:27 |
| Jester45 | walked me into this then left | 01:28 |
| cellofellow | No, I'm still here. Just not sure what to do. I've an inlking. Create a database and configure WordPress to use it. | 01:28 |
| Jester45 | forget that | 01:28 |
| cellofellow | never actually done either. | 01:29 |
| cellofellow | can't be that hard. | 01:29 |
| Jester45 | to much | 01:29 |
| Jester45 | de apt-get ing | 01:29 |
| cellofellow | actually, I've got a drupal tarball here that I want to install. Not from apt cause I want to be able to do it on a hosted box. | 01:29 |
| Jester45 | look at my site cellofellow i got a new script up | 01:30 |
| cellofellow | k | 01:30 |
| cellofellow | cool. It does menus? Is the final output a DVD ISO? | 01:31 |
| Jester45 | so pretty now | 01:31 |
| Jester45 | no | 01:32 |
| Jester45 | the output is the dvd's folders | 01:32 |
| Jester45 | i encluded the option to burn in the script all ou have to do is enter dvd device | 01:32 |
| cellofellow | I have no DVD burner. It'd be cool if the final product of the script was an ISO ready to be burned. (My dad has a burner.) | 01:32 |
| Jester45 | the authoring part is messed up | 01:32 |
| Jester45 | can you dd folder -> iso? | 01:33 |
| Jester45 | it encodes it fine | 01:33 |
| cellofellow | I think it's mkisofs | 01:33 |
| Jester45 | well i mgiht look into that | 01:33 |
| Jester45 | might | 01:33 |
| cellofellow | ok, thanks man | 01:34 |
| Jester45 | pretty good for my 2nd script | 01:34 |

| Jester45 | i do like gnome's ablity to use the filemanager options from the desktop | 03:43 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | I think they're planning on using code from Thunar to manage the desktop. | 03:44 |
| Jester45 | like gnome? | 03:44 |
| === cellofellow [n=josh@69.71.163.58] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| Jester45 | your back!!!!!! | 03:45 |
| BrendanM | using thunar to manage the desktop is fine, I just wish I could sort my icons. Thunar lets you arrange stuff in folders. | 03:45 |
| BrendanM | oh well, it's not that big of a deal | 03:45 |
| BrendanM | I wonder how hard it would be to write a little script to do this? | 03:45 |
| Jester45 | not to hard i would guess | 03:46 |
| BrendanM | Anyone have any idea where/how xfdesktop stores position info for the icons? | 03:46 |
| cellofellow | in .config/xfce4 somewhere | 03:46 |
| BrendanM | Is that something people would be interested in? I generally don't write things just for myself. | 03:46 |
| Jester45 | i wouldnt use it | 03:47 |
| Jester45 | i place the icons at my best used space | 03:47 |
| BrendanM | oh, this would be totally easy. there's a file called icons.screen0.rc that has all the info | 03:48 |
| cellofellow | I like my launchers on the left and my devices on the right. | 03:48 |
| cellofellow | Perl would probably be better than Bash. | 03:48 |
| Jester45 | my devices are on top and folders on left/top area | 03:48 |
| BrendanM | I'm surprised nobody's done this before. (Or maybe they have and I just haven't looked hard enough) | 03:48 |
| cellofellow | probably didn't publish it. | 03:48 |
| BrendanM | I don't really know perl, but I heard it's pretty simple. | 03:49 |
| Jester45 | someone has done it b4 if its possible | 03:49 |
| BrendanM | jester, I'm sure that's true | 03:50 |
| Jester45 | it seems like something that lindows might of had | 03:51 |
| BrendanM | Probably, Lindows/Linspire tries to ape Windows | 03:51 |

| iKitchu | it reads : The only serious problem with G3 iMacs and Breezy is that it installs with wrong refresh rates in xorg.conf, leaving you with a black screen after booting. | 04:14 |
| iKitchu | Booting in text-only mode and changing the refresh rates to horizontal:60-6 and vertical: 43-117 should get you up and running nicely. Ormanually adjust during install by choosing expert mode. | 04:14 |
| iKitchu | can someone tell me how to change that in text mode? | 04:14 |
| grazie | iKitchu: that's the one | 04:15 |
| grazie | iKitchu: what do you need telling? | 04:16 |
| iKitchu | I guess I wanna try changing my refresh rate to what i'm being told in the forum... but they don't explain how... and forgive my sins please but I used to be a windows user | 04:17 |
| iKitchu | lol | 04:17 |
| grazie | iKitchu: boot the machine in recovery mode | 04:17 |
| iKitchu | it's not even installed yet, i'm using the live CD and trying to install | 04:18 |
| grazie | iKitchu: is that not explain in the post? | 04:18 |
| iKitchu | no, they just say the refresh rate is not good | 04:19 |
| Jester45 | at pree boot you have 4 optios | 04:19 |
| grazie | iKitchu: i'm thinking you may need the alternate cd | 04:19 |
| Jester45 | one should be advance or other | 04:19 |
| Jester45 | click on that then enter on the new line of text the refresh rates | 04:20 |
| Jester45 | sorry if im a bit rusty on the wording of the cd | 04:20 |
| iKitchu | Jester45 isn't it expert? | 04:21 |
| iKitchu | XD | 04:21 |
| iKitchu | i just tried something : live video=ofonly | 04:27 |
| Jester45 | well i havent been on a live cd for a year | 04:28 |

| atrain | can xubuntu install to a usb drive normaly? Or where can I get a proper printed copy for cheap/free? (I have an old iMac that cant read burnt discs, only 1 IDE channel so I cant stick in a proper drive temp, so have to make the main one as a external USB) | 04:52 |
| kalikiana | atrain, I suppose if the stick has enough memory you could put a basic xubuntu on it, but i don't remember a link right now | 04:55 |
| atrain | not a stick, an actual harddrive.... will xubuntu-alternate install to /dev/sdaX? | 04:56 |
| === sunnz2 [n=zac@ppp115-5.static.internode.on.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| BrendanM | atrain, probably, as long as your BIOS has support for USB hard drives | 05:03 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | If he shows up again, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=806e731ea9fd1aba4e298f8f0c273772&t=308027 is for him. | 05:05 |
| BrendanM | if the BIOS doesn't support USB, you might have better luck with the LiveCD, since you'd be installing from within a system with USB drivers. It'll probably still take some serious tinkering with GRUB to get it to boot. | 05:05 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | BrendanM: He's gone. | 05:05 |
| BrendanM | ah yeah | 05:05 |
| BrendanM | oh well | 05:05 |
| BrendanM | that looks like a good link | 05:05 |
| BrendanM | It only works if the BIOS will boot from USB though, right? | 05:06 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | Yeah. If the BIOS won't boot from USB, there's no way your main drive will be USB. | 05:07 |
| BrendanM | Couldn't you do some voodoo where you put like a minimal version of Linux (the equivalent of one of those floppy distros) on the IDE hard drive, booted to that, and then used that to load the main OS from the USB drive? | 05:09 |
| BrendanM | It seems like it should be possible, if very annoying to do | 05:10 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | Definitely. Once Linux is loaded, you don't face any of the BIOS limitations. | 05:10 |
| BrendanM | well, I'm turning in. Later | 05:13 |

Why would this be? Does anyone have any idea on how I could fix it? Thanks :) | 04:34 |

| lar1 | I have a fresh install of xubuntu from xubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso and it is having trouble contacting the repositories for update. Neither synaptic nor apt-get can get through, though ping works and host returns a valid answer. The errors apply both for the regional archives ( e.g. fi.archive.ubuntu.com ) and the central ones ( archive.ubuntu.com ) An example of the error message: | 05:19 |

| lar1 | The links, like the one above, from the xubuntu can be cut and pasted from the apt-get error messages into the kubuntu machine where they are accessible | 05:32 |

| lar1 | neither apt-get nor synaptic work on xubuntu, apt-get update gets as far as 37% before the error occurs | 05:35 |

| lar1 | I'm suspecting a problem with repository itself, but am not sure what or how | 05:36 |
| lar1 | the reason it's a fresh install is that the old one, which used to allow me to update, stopped allowing me to update (this error) | 05:37 |

| CyberCod | I am having trouble doublsizing xmms in xubuntu edgy... Ive narrowed it down to the composite, but I dont know how to disable it, as it is not turned on in xorg.conf | 11:41 |
| CyberCod | anyone have any ideas? | 11:43 |
| Jester45 | nope | 11:43 |
| crimsun | composite is enabled by default in edgy | 11:43 |
| crimsun | you have to explicitly /disable/ it in xorg.conf | 11:43 |
| CyberCod | ok, so Option omposite 0 ? | 11:44 |
| CyberCod | or would it be off or false | 11:45 |
| grazie | Jester45: burn failed yet again. Do I install k3b on Xubuntu or do I have to boot XP and use Nero | 11:46 |
| grazie | Jester45: not an easy choice | 11:46 |
| Jester45 | loil | 11:47 |

| prairie_dad | how do I mount a webdav volume in xubuntu. In ubuntu I use nautilus "connect to server," but it isn't in Thunar... | 11:53 |
| Jester45 | A FTP SITE? | 11:53 |
| prairie_dad | no, a webdav, using the https://server.domainname.tld format. that's what nautilus and mac os x call for. | 11:54 |
| Jester45 | o i dont know | 11:56 |
| prairie_dad | in fedora, as in ubuntu (well, i guess I should say in Gnome) you go to places, then connect to server, which launches nautilus. but in xubuntu, I don't know...any thoughts out there? | 11:57 |
| Jester45 | you could use nautilus | 11:58 |

| grazie | hyper_ch: hi | 12:02 |
| hyper_ch | how is virtual box? | 12:02 |
| grazie | hyper_ch: very good. | 12:02 |

| grazie | hyper_ch: about to reboot with knoppix though | 12:02 |
| === grazie_ is now known as grazie | ||
| prairie_dad | well, the problem with that is that it has a lot of ubuntu/gnome deps, and I wanted to keep my xubuntu clean and xcfe-ish. I mean, if I want gnome and its apps, I could just do ubuntu. but this is for an older, slower PC I am resurrecting. | 12:03 |
| hyper_ch | grazie: good that it works... did you also have to chmod something and make sudo depmode? | 12:04 |
| hyper_ch | prairie_dad: running single appz isn't like running the whole framework... xfce uses also gkt, doesn't it? | 12:05 |
| grazie | hyper_ch: no. actually using it on a different distro right now | 12:05 |
| hyper_ch | grazie: ^^ | 12:05 |
| Jester45 | hyper_ch: xfce uese gtk but if the package needs a part of gnome apt will download it | 12:06 |
| prairie_dad | yes, hyper_ch, it's almost all gkt, that's the point of xfce. (is ch for switzerland? bin lange im deutschsprachigen Raum gewesen, et je parle francais aussi, malgre que je suis US americain.) | 12:07 |
| grazie | gosh a hate kde...even on knoppix....where is everthing? | 12:07 |
| hyper_ch | I like the KDE appz | 12:09 |
| hyper_ch | that's why I run so many of those | 12:09 |
| hyper_ch | ouais, CH --> Confederation Helvetica | 12:09 |
| hyper_ch | prairie_dad: I can also talk german :) | 12:09 |
| prairie_dad | kde would never work on this old dog I am fixing up | 12:09 |
| prairie_dad | but are you swiss, and if so from where? | 12:09 |
| hyper_ch | St. Gall but originating from Solothurn | 12:10 |
| hyper_ch | well, I don't use KDE.. I just use a lot of KDE appz | 12:10 |
| grazie | a few kde apps are good...but the system............. | 12:11 |
| hyper_ch | lemme check... I have | 12:11 |
| hyper_ch | kopete, konversation, konqueror, kate, k3b, amarok, krfb, krdc, ktorrent, kftpgrabber, kontact | 12:12 |
| grazie | hyper_ch: yeah, I like k3b, konversation, konqueror and believe ktorrent is good | 12:14 |
| prairie_dad | long time since I was in Skt. Gallen...bin 2002 von Italien nach Deutschland durchgefahren (mit der Bahn) aber der letzte richtige Besuch muss 1984/5 gewesen sein, schade. werde Nautilus versuchen, aber eine andere loesung waere mir lieber...mal sehen was mein alter box mit mehr als xcfe macht... | 12:16 |
