[03:04] <K3nto> is anybody here in #ubuntu
[03:11] <K3nto> could somebody here do me a big favor? i was helping a fellow in #ubuntu install Edgy Eft but i got booted
[05:46] <posingaspopular> hey room, i was wondering if anyone could help me mount a windows ntfs partition. I know the !mount function for the bot and all but I want to talk to a real person on this one. my problem is that everytime i try to do a ls /mnt/win command, I get a permission denied error. help?
[06:17] <posingaspopular> !mount
[06:17] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[06:18] <posingaspopular> !fstab
[06:18] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[09:35] <LaserJock> grr, this xaos bug is maddening
[09:36] <Burgundavia> LaserJock: xaos bug
[09:36] <Burgundavia> ?
[09:39] <LaserJock> there is a bug in xaos that you can't load the help or tutorials
[09:39] <LaserJock> when I first installed it and tested it it worked fine
[09:40] <LaserJock> but then I just tried it again and it can't find the help
[09:40] <LaserJock> and I installed it on another machine, no help
[09:40] <LaserJock> so 1) why can't if find the help 2) why did it work a few minutes ago on one machine and now it doesn't
[09:41] <LaserJock> 3) what are you doing up this late? ;-)
[09:46] <SnrWhippy> morning!
[10:16] <SnrWhippy> quiet in here
[10:17] <LaserJock> practically dead
[10:30] <SnrWhippy> theres no practically about it
[10:31] <SnrWhippy> does anyone use beryl or compiz and if they do which one is better
[10:31] <LaserJock> well...
[10:31] <LaserJock> you're here
[10:31] <LaserJock> I'm here
[10:31] <LaserJock> not exactly dead
[10:31] <SnrWhippy> yeah i feel a bit dead this morning
[10:32] <LaserJock> compiz is going to be installed by default in Feisty
[10:32] <LaserJock> so I think maybe it's going to recieve more work
[10:32] <SnrWhippy> yeah i should have installed that instead of beryl i think
[10:32] <SnrWhippy> could of saved myself some hastle
[10:32] <SnrWhippy> have you used it?
[10:33] <SnrWhippy> i'm using beryl and its nice but it has stripped my shutdown and restart button away
[10:34] <SnrWhippy> bit buggy for a lot of progs but not bad for how complex it is
[10:34] <LaserJock> I've used beryl once
[10:34] <LaserJock> but that's it
[10:35] <SnrWhippy> i'm sure i'll get sick of the cube but its good for converting people to ubuntu
[10:35] <SnrWhippy> basically i started using ubuntu and said look at this its great and got some mumbles of yeah i suppose then i installed beryl on top and everyone was asking me for the ubuntu cd and starting to install
[10:36] <SnrWhippy> it was hilarious
[10:37] <LaserJock> heh
[03:07] <sbalneav> Snausages
[03:07] <cbx33> hey sbalneav
[03:08] <cbx33> ping ogra
[03:10] <sbalneav> hey hey
[04:16] <sbalneav> ogra: Hey, dude, you around?
[04:18] <cliebow> sbalneav:havnt seen any sign of him
[04:19] <sbalneav> Thanks cliebow
[04:20] <cliebow> how goes
[04:22] <sbalneav> Goin
[04:22] <sbalneav> Howzabout you?
[04:28] <cliebow_> interested in your examination of ltsp5..
[04:28] <cliebow_> banging my head on ldap in feisty
[04:47] <cbx33> sbalneav, in C how do you convert between types
[04:47] <cbx33> like
[04:47] <cbx33> char and guchar?
[04:50] <sbalneav> guchar?
[04:50] <sbalneav> Is that a 16 bit char?
[04:50] <cbx33> it's a gtk char
[04:50] <sbalneav> You wouldn't.  You'd have to use a conversion routine for that.
[04:51] <sbalneav> There's probably a routine withing gnome to convert guchars to char *'s, and back again.
[04:51] <sbalneav> C's... exceedingly simplistic.
[04:52] <sbalneav> You're only about a step and a half above machine language when you code in C :)
[04:54] <cbx33> :(
[04:56] <sbalneav> There's a reason why perl, python, etc. exist. :)
[04:57] <bronze> (same reason as heroin and cociane... :- )    )
[04:58] <cbx33> hehe
[06:42] <tjingboem> i use fluxbuntu. is there a special edubunu repository?
[06:42] <tjingboem> +t
[07:01] <tjingboem> yes it is
[09:21] <cbx33> hey LaserJock
[09:21] <LaserJock> heh
[09:21] <LaserJock> I was just going to ping you in here
[09:21] <cbx33> heh
[11:39] <Kingski1> Hello! I've got a question & i hope i can place it here. Few days ago I've applied for membership in Edubuntu team in Launchad but nothing happens. Is the membership maybe closed?
[11:42] <stgraber> you mean you asked to join the team ? (edubuntu-members)
[11:43] <Kingski1> yep, via launchpad (https://translations.launchpad.net/~edubuntu/+join)
[11:43] <stgraber> ok, I think edubuntu membership works the same way as ubuntu membership
[11:43] <Kingski1> That is?
[11:44] <stgraber> so, to become a member you have to : join the team (you did), attend the next meeting or the meeting where they will review the people wanting to become members
[11:44] <stgraber> you'll have to explain why you want to become a member and the "council" will vote
[11:44] <Kingski1> I see, so I need to find out when the meeting will take place and then be there?
[11:44] <stgraber> I don't really know for edubuntu but I think it's that way as it's the path I had to follow to become Ubuntu member
[11:45] <stgraber> It's usually on Wednesday on #ubuntu-meeting
[11:46] <stgraber> which timezone are you in ?
[11:46] <Kingski1> Czech Republic
[11:47] <stgraber> next edubuntu meeting on Wednesday 07 Mar at 13:00
[11:48] <stgraber> maybe you should speak to ogra or riched before to check if the informations I just gave you are correct
[11:49] <stgraber> highvolt1ge, LaserJock, ogra : One of you can confirm what I just said ?
[11:49] <Kingski1> Thanks! But I'll very likely miss that one. We are getting ready for a trip to Bosnia on March 8. I've send email to Jane Weideman but so far no answer.
[11:50] <Kingski1> At least I know now that its not just a simple thing :-)
[11:50] <stgraber> indeed :)
[12:11] <Kingski1> Good night!
