| cycro | yeah | 12:42 |
| cycro | so u recommend thru knoppix? | 12:43 |
| maxamillion | yeah ... knoppix is always my "OMG what just happened" cd | 12:44 |
| cycro | lol | 12:44 |
| cycro | hm | 12:46 |
| cycro | very well i shall download it | 12:46 |
| maxamillion | the time spent downloading is worth it in the end | 12:47 |
| cycro | i hope so | 12:47 |
| cycro | i miss my music :( | 12:47 |
| cycro | 2 hours | 12:47 |
| cycro | o hdear | 12:47 |
| Eagle_101 | anyone know why wget is faster at downloading something then just clicking the link in firefox? | 12:48 |
| Eagle_101 | I'm getting about a 2x - 3x faster speed improvement :O | 12:48 |
| maxamillion | Eagle_101: i would imagine it would have something to do with the overhead of firefox in some way .... but i'm not sure | 12:48 |
| Eagle_101 | mmm ok, but this is quite good :D | 12:49 |
| Eagle_101 | torrent did not work for getting gentoo, no seeds or something (30 minute wait) so I just tried wget | 12:49 |
| cycro | how do i install gnome in parallel? | 12:53 |
| cycro | ubuntu | 12:53 |
| cycro | sudo apt-get ubuntu>? | 12:53 |
| Eagle_101 | !ubuntu-desktop | 12:54 |
| ubotu | k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. | 12:54 |
| Eagle_101 | !xubuntu-desktop | 12:54 |
| Eagle_101 | !botsnack | 12:54 |
| ubotu | Yum! | 12:54 |
| cycro | oo | 12:54 |
| cycro | so if i install ubuntu-desktop | 12:54 |
| Eagle_101 | I think its ubuntu-desktop :S | 12:55 |
| cycro | i can use both xf and gnome?> | 12:55 |
| Eagle_101 | *think* being the key word | 12:55 |
| Eagle_101 | that is if you are installing xubuntu | 12:55 |
| Eagle_101 | and want the gnome desktop | 12:55 |
| cycro | yes | 12:55 |
| cycro | i want both | 12:55 |
| cycro | to be able to switch | 12:55 |
| Eagle_101 | yeah then install xubuntu | 12:55 |
| cycro | i did | 12:55 |
| cycro | im on xubuntu | 12:55 |
| Eagle_101 | ok, now just | 12:55 |
| cycro | .. | 12:56 |
| Eagle_101 | apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 12:56 |
| Eagle_101 | if you want KDE | 12:56 |
| Eagle_101 | apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 12:56 |
| cycro | ok | 12:57 |

| Eagle_101 | I've got 10 windows open (5 of them are just terminals though) | 01:57 |
| assasukasse | Eagle_101: well, i have been using enlightenment and gnome, gnome is far slower, xfce should be faster, but the key is speed... | 01:57 |

| Eagle_101 | I have no lag here | 01:57 |
| Eagle_101 | on 256MB | 01:57 |
| assasukasse | Eagle_101: but is it more memory eating? | 01:57 |
| assasukasse | i mean is that true that eats more mem than gnome? | 01:58 |
| Eagle_101 | I'm using 136 RAM as of now | 01:58 |
| assasukasse | than kde sorry | 01:58 |
| assasukasse | Eagle_101: what are u running | 01:58 |

| cycro | i used it | 02:01 |
| cycro | and it made some folders | 02:01 |
| cycro | but i cant access them | 02:01 |
| cycro | does it put the recovery folders on the partition that ur trying to recover from? | 02:03 |
| assasukasse | Eagle_101: im running firefox 3 tabs, gaim, xchat, cxoffice emulating windows with utorrent, thunar, and a terminal running an intensive cpu and ram prog using nice | 02:03 |

| cycro | help? :( | 02:29 |
| Qew | they're probably owned by root and you haven't got the right permission to view or delete them. What are you using to view the directories? If it's Thunar, then run "gksudo thunar" in an xterm, then try what you want to do. | 02:30 |
| Qew | that'll give Thunar root privileges. Mind you, when you're finished doing what you want with those directories, close that Thunar. You can really mess things up if you're not careful. | 02:31 |
| cycro | oo | 02:32 |
| cycro | ok | 02:32 |
| cycro | im gona try this | 02:32 |
| cycro | have u ever used photorec? | 02:32 |
| Qew | no | 02:32 |
| cycro | why will it allow me to view the contents of this folder now, and not before? | 02:33 |
| Qew | you asked about directories that couldn't be viewed or deleted, so I gave you a possible answer to that. As for Photorec, I haven't used it and don't know much about it. | 02:33 |
| cycro | before the gksudo, it cudnt even say how big hte folder was | 02:33 |
| cycro | mm | 02:33 |
| cycro | well its working | 02:33 |
| cycro | thanks a lot | 02:33 |
| Qew | np | 02:33 |
| cycro | im jsut curious as to why it works like this | 02:33 |
| cycro | every otehr folder is vieable | 02:34 |
| cycro | but this ceratin one | 02:34 |
| Qew | be careful with giving file managers root privilege, though. You can really do some damage if you're not careful. | 02:34 |
| cycro | mm | 02:34 |
| === assasukasse is away: | ||
| cycro | wat does gksudo do? | 02:36 |
| cycro | why cant u do sudo? | 02:36 |

| bigfuzzyjesus | ssh name@ip | 04:22 |
| Eagle_101 | does he just remove the NTFS partition? | 04:22 |

| Eagle_101 | and put an ext3 in its place? | 04:23 |
| cycro | ud have to do it via liveCD | 04:24 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | Eagle_101: Yeah, if he feels confident that he's done with the windows installation. | 04:24 |
| Eagle_101 | he is confident (it is a second computer) | 04:24 |
| Eagle_101 | so just reformat NTFS to freespace? | 04:24 |
| Eagle_101 | then overlay the ext3 | 04:24 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | Nah, if he's installing, just reformat the entire disk as ext3. | 04:25 |
| Eagle_101 | how do I tell him to do that? | 04:25 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | It's an option in the install cd. | 04:25 |
| Eagle_101 | I think he wants 3 partitions? | 04:25 |
| Eagle_101 | one for /home/ one for / and one for swap | 04:26 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | When he gets to the partitioner, it will list a few options, and 'use entire disk' is one of them. | 04:26 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | Or he can manually reppartition as needed. | 04:26 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | s/reppartition/repartition/ | 04:26 |
| PuMpErNiCkLe | bigfuzzyjesus: Does `netstat -tulpn` show sshd? | 04:27 |

| Eagle_101 | cycro, why would you need to merge.... | 04:42 |
| Eagle_101 | I would think it would have the capacity | 04:42 |
| cycro | i want to merge because i will have to separate ext3 partitions | 04:42 |
| cycro | Eagle_101: i want to combine all the partitions into 1 | 04:43 |
| Eagle_101 | are any of them NTFS? | 04:44 |
| Eagle_101 | cycro, I can't believe you are still mucking with partitoins | 04:44 |
| Eagle_101 | :P | 04:44 |
| cycro | yes | 04:45 |
| cycro | 1 is ntfs | 04:45 |
| cycro | which i plan to convert to ext3 | 04:45 |
| Eagle_101 | if any of them are NTFS, you need to make that freespace | 04:45 |
| cycro | by deleting it? | 04:45 |
| Eagle_101 | cycro, yeah make it freespace | 04:46 |
| Eagle_101 | then extend the original ext3 partition over where the other one was | 04:46 |
| Eagle_101 | and BACK UP your data | 04:47 |
| grazie | cycro: you cannot go from ntfs to ext3 wthout data loss | 04:47 |
| cycro | grazie: ive lost all my data already :P | 04:47 |
| cycro | im tryin to make it ext3 so i can recover again | 04:47 |
| grazie | cycro: that's not sensible | 04:48 |
| cycro | grazie: care to hear the whole thing? | 04:48 |
| grazie | cycro: ? | 04:48 |
| cycro | grazie: right now i have 2 partitions, 1 ext3 that is running this xubuntu, and an empty ntfs. I recently accidently erased all data off my hard drive, so that's why i have this. now i plan to use photorec to recover my files, but i need the entire hdd to be ext3 | 04:50 |
| cycro | do you have any better ideas? | 04:51 |
| grazie | cycro: converting ntfs to ext3 will result in further loss of data | 04:51 |
| cycro | grazie: its either that or install windows xp and try to recover from there | 04:51 |
| cycro | but photorec seems like a really good program | 04:51 |
| grazie | cycro: no. there are some very good ntfs recovery tools | 04:51 |
| cycro | grazie: ive tried ntfsundelete, but it doesnt work | 04:52 |
| cycro | grazie: know of any others? | 04:52 |
| grazie | cycro: I've used some before, but not for a long. If you want good recovery of ntfs you have to do it from windows (it's a no brainer) | 04:53 |
| cycro | grazie: yes but that means i have to reformat my ntfs and reinstall xp..wont that result in more loss as well? | 04:54 |
| grazie | cycro: no, you must not do anything with the partition you are trying to recover | 04:55 |
| grazie | cycro: i would ceate a second xp partition and recover the lost partition form there | 04:56 |
| cycro | grazie: wat do u mean? | 04:56 |
| cycro | grazie: partition my ntfs into 2? | 04:56 |
| Eagle_101 | no | 04:56 |
| Eagle_101 | partition your ext3 if you must | 04:57 |
| Eagle_101 | you don't want to modify the partition that you want to recover | 04:57 |
| grazie | cycro: you have a linux partition(s) and a lost ntfs partition, yes? | 04:57 |
| cycro | grazie: no, i have 1 linux partition, and 1 ntfs partition | 04:57 |
| cycro | and the thing is, i lost data from my Whole drive because before it was ntfs | 04:58 |
| cycro | so i figure if i make it all 1 type again.. | 04:58 |
| grazie | cycro: your linux partition has at least 2 partitions (swap and /) | 04:59 |
| cycro | i dont think i did a swap | 04:59 |
| cycro | grazie: when i installed xubuntu, it said something about a swap, but i ignored it | 04:59 |
| grazie | cycro: you're not following I don't think | 04:59 |
| cycro | grazie: most liekly not | 04:59 |
| cycro | grazie: when i open gparted, it says i only have 2 partitions | 05:00 |
| Eagle_101 | so that means no swap | 05:00 |
| cycro | lol | 05:00 |
| cycro | is that bad? | 05:00 |
| cycro | dont tell me i gota resintall linux-_- | 05:00 |
| grazie | cycro: the best chance of recovering the data means that you must not change the data on the disk in any way | 05:01 |
| cycro | grazie: there is no data on the disk | 05:01 |
| Eagle_101 | .... | 05:01 |
| cycro | .. | 05:01 |
| grazie | cycro: Yes there is! That's what you're trying to recover! Isn't it? | 05:02 |
| cycro | grazie: well it got deleted | 05:02 |
| cycro | grazie: so im tryin to recover formatted/deleted files | 05:02 |
| grazie | cycro: you mean you can't see it any more, but it's still there or at least a lot of it is (you hope!) | 05:03 |
| cycro | grazie: yes | 05:03 |
| grazie | cycro: it that data is valuable this is what I would do... | 05:04 |
| cycro | grazie: .. | 05:04 |
| grazie | cycro: buy a second a disk big enough to install xp and the data size you want to recover and them some extra | 05:05 |
| grazie | install xp and ntds recovery tools on the second disk | 05:06 |
| grazie | ntfs* | 05:06 |
| cycro | oo | 05:06 |
| grazie | recover the lost ntfs partition to the new second drive | 05:07 |
| cycro | i see | 05:07 |
| grazie | you might get nothing, but it's the best chance you've got | 05:07 |
| cycro | ive been using a program called photorecx | 05:08 |
| cycro | photorec* | 05:08 |
| cycro | and its been working amazingly at recovering files | 05:08 |
| grazie | have you recovered anything yet? | 05:09 |
| cycro | yes | 05:10 |
| cycro | 1.8gb of mp3 files | 05:10 |
| grazie | great...but being able to see the files and being actually able to recover the data is not the same thing | 05:10 |
| cycro | ive been listening to the files | 05:11 |
| grazie | so what's you problem then? | 05:11 |
| grazie | your* | 05:11 |
| cycro | 1) the files recovered have useless names | 05:20 |
| cycro | and 2) right now this linux partition is 8gb, and i have 80gb of files i want to recover | 05:20 |

| cycro | grazie: wat do u sugges? | 05:21 |
| grazie | cycro: which is why recovering an ntfs partition from an os that's is based on ntfs is likely to have more success | 05:22 |
| cycro | grazie: but that means reformatting to install xp, and although its not reformatting anything, isnt it still bad? | 05:23 |
| Eagle_101 | cycro, that is why you need a second HD\ | 05:23 |
| cycro | i have a second hd, but its full too | 05:24 |
| cycro | -_- | 05:24 |
| Eagle_101 | then get a 3rd one | 05:24 |
| cycro | yeah | 05:25 |
| grazie | cycro: if the disk costs more than what the lost data is worth to you...don't waste your time | 05:25 |
| cycro | grazie: i lost about 80gb of music which id like back | 05:26 |
| Eagle_101 | cycro, then buy a 3rd disk | 05:26 |
| cycro | mm | 05:26 |
| cycro | but see | 05:27 |
| Eagle_101 | do the instructions that grazie told you | 05:27 |
| cycro | i made a new disk label | 05:27 |
| cycro | using gparted | 05:27 |
| cycro | that is wat deleted my files | 05:27 |
| cycro | and it deleted them in 5 seconds | 05:27 |

| trevorv | Hiya, I was just wondering what PDF viewer Xubuntu uses by default? | 11:33 |
| ryno | I would guess Document Viewer/ | 11:37 |
| trevorv | is that evince? | 11:38 |
| ryno | Yeah | 11:39 |
| trevorv | ok ta :-) | 11:39 |
| ryno | I'm pretty sure I had it by default when I installed a few weeks ago | 11:39 |
| trevorv | I just wasn't sure if that had a ton of GNOME deps where it's billed as a GNOME app | 11:39 |
| ryno | Well, it's lightweight Gnome | 11:40 |
| trevorv | yeah sure | 11:40 |
| ryno | My computer is older and it runs better than Ubuntu or KUbuntu | 11:40 |
| ryno | Because the WM is XFCE | 11:40 |
| trevorv | yeah, i'm using fluxbox on a small install, i was just after a pdf viewer with few deps | 11:41 |
| ryno | Xpdf | 11:41 |
| ryno | I don't know if it's in Linux binary? We had it in pkgsrc on NetBSD. | 11:41 |
| ryno | Yeah, I use Fvwm-Crystal when I need a ligthweight enviorment, but XFCE is actually pretty decent. | 11:42 |
| trevorv | mm, but thats always seemed fairly featureless and seems to muck up layouts fairly regularly, ill stick with evince for now at least :) | 11:42 |
| ryno | OK, yeah. | 11:42 |
| trevorv | yeah i used xubuntu for a while before the official release and it seemed good to me :) | 11:42 |
| ryno | I can sure do a lot more than on windows here | 11:43 |
| ryno | I mean I still crash sometimes | 11:43 |
| ryno | But I guess it's my fault for not getting a new computer since 2001 ;] | 11:43 |
| trevorv | haha :) you shouldnt need to! | 11:44 |
| === sunnz2 [n=zac@ppp115-5.static.internode.on.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| ryno | trevorv: Well, programmers get sloppy because they can, so programs take more and more RAM to run. | 11:48 |
| ryno | But then you also throw in the latest craze of technology and BAM, software inoperable for me. ;] | 11:48 |
| trevorv | i know, begins to defeat the object of even having more RAM! I like projects like dyne:bolic optimised for old hardware :) | 11:49 |
| ryno | It's nice to be able to use almost any Linux program though. I've even managed to get my audio software from windows working on here with a slight skip in playback. | 11:49 |

| michup | hi, im using asus a3h5012(i910GPU) patform: dapper drake with linux 2.6.15-28-386 X-air:7.1.1 session: GNOME server glx:1.2 client glx:1.4 openGL:1.3 mesa:6.5.1 modules:i915, intel_agp, agpgart versions: 2.6.15-28-386 gcc-4.0 and i've 2 problems | 11:50 |
| ryno | I just need a new machine. I spent $500 on a hosting business gone bad. | 11:50 |
| michup | first when i click on red button "log off" my GNOME session freezes when beryl is on | 11:50 |
| michup | if i swich off beryl using beryl manager and then click on red button "log off" it works fine | 11:50 |
| michup | i've AIXGL/compiz/beryl with emerald window menager | 11:50 |
| trevorv | ryno, yeah, although im slowly becoming a command-line junkie... just ditched quod libet for mpd, learning emacs and LaTeX atm :) | 11:50 |
| michup | my second problem is that cedega 3d acceleration test fail | 11:50 |
| michup | opengl tests whent good | 11:50 |
| ryno | Update to edgy? | 11:50 |
| michup | glxinfo says direct rendering is working | 11:50 |
| ryno | trevorv: I was looking into LaTeX but now I am going to go the DocBook way. | 11:51 |
| ryno | XML seems all the rage and it's the backbone for a lot of programs and websites. | 11:51 |
| ryno | But yeah if you know LaTeX | 11:51 |
| ryno | LaTeX I'll still learn eventually ;] | 11:52 |
| trevorv | ryno, i've never used either before tbh, but LaTeX seems more versatile in that its not just aimed at docs | 11:52 |
| ryno | Yeah, I'm writing a book so I need something aimed at docs ;] | 11:52 |
| ryno | Never enough hours in the day | 11:53 |
| trevorv | well, i think latex would still work fine... im thinking of using it for writing up my a level notes... i cant bear word processing any longer! | 11:53 |
| trevorv | you can say that again | 11:53 |
| trevorv | too much to learn and do | 11:53 |
| ryno | The man always gets in my way. | 11:54 |
| trevorv | The joys of lazy student life :-) | 11:54 |
| ryno | Because I have bills to pay, so I basically have to kiss butt on people's designs when all I want to be doing is writing music and stories or technical documents. :P | 11:54 |
| trevorv | what do you do? | 11:54 |
| ryno | Well, I am a freelance designer at the moment. | 11:55 |
| ryno | Contractor if you will. | 11:55 |
| trevorv | ah right :-) | 11:55 |
| ryno | So my boss flips out at me when I can figure something out. | 11:55 |
| ryno | can't | 11:55 |
| ryno | Or ask for money. | 11:55 |
| ryno | When there's still things to be done on the site. | 11:56 |
| ryno | He's all paranoid that it's not going to make him money anyway too. | 11:56 |
| trevorv | ah I just can't wait to graduate :P | 11:56 |
| ryno | He was watching the ratings on search engines like a hawk when I was working on the clock. | 11:56 |
| ryno | And I don't mean my band the clock. ;] | 11:56 |
| trevorv | what do you play? | 11:57 |

| Killerkiwi | What sound server does xubuntu edgy use? | 11:58 |
| trevorv | ah I love jamendo :) | 11:58 |
| ryno | alsa and oss | 11:58 |
| ryno | Me too, I am seeding for them right now | 11:58 |
| Killerkiwi | ryno, how do i manually start that? | 11:59 |
| trevorv | i would be if i had a bit torrent client installed right now heh | 11:59 |
| ryno | I use their jamseeder and download music that needs to be seeded | 11:59 |
| ryno | Plus I get to listen to some cool beats ;] | 11:59 |
| ryno | Killerkiwi it should start automatically | 11:59 |
| ryno | Do you have alsa-base and the libs installed? | 12:00 |
| Killerkiwi | ryno, not if i have a custom x session to run freevo through it wont | 12:00 |
| ryno | Freevo? | 12:00 |
| Killerkiwi | it works using the default xcfe session | 12:00 |
| Killerkiwi | just need the start command | 12:00 |
| Killerkiwi | http://freevo.sourceforge.net/ | 12:01 |
| ryno | What kind of card is it? | 12:01 |
| ryno | You have to modprobe it | 12:01 |
| ryno | But I think that's done at startup | 12:01 |
| Killerkiwi | yeah gdm has sound so it must be modprobed already | 12:01 |

| ryno | Oh this frevo | 12:03 |
| Killerkiwi | freevo, i just need to start the sound server!! i used to do a esd & back in the day | 12:03 |
| ryno | Well, alsa is running | 12:04 |
| ryno | If it reported the mobo soundcard | 12:04 |
| ryno | cat /proc/asound/devices too | 12:04 |
| ryno | Then you have to configure whatever software to use alsa's hw0 device or whatever | 12:05 |
| Killerkiwi | sudo /etc/init.d/alsa start | 12:05 |
| Killerkiwi | im guessing... 15mins og google later.... | 12:06 |
| ryno | haha | 12:06 |
| ryno | I see this uses Mplayer | 12:06 |
| ryno | You might need to adjust the settings in there | 12:06 |

| assasukasse | can anyone explain me this benchmark result? http://tinyurl.com/39z9q7 | 12:20 |
| ryno | The main problem is he always wants the footer on the bottom of the page, which doesn't work with each template. | 12:21 |
| ryno | When I use an absolute positioning. | 12:21 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: lol | 12:22 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: sure, ubuntu, kubuntu and xubuntu all *the same* under the hood -- they only differ in the desktop environment and the default set of applications | 12:23 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: this kind of test is pointless | 12:23 |
| assasukasse | TheSheep: but what about the speed test | 12:26 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: where? | 12:26 |
| assasukasse | 2nd page | 12:27 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: the gzip and encoding tools available on all 3 systems are *the same* | 12:28 |
| === chaky [n=chaky@unaffiliated/chaky] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| TheSheep | assasukasse: the differences are random | 12:29 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: or maybe they are due to some caching that by chance "got it better" at one time | 12:29 |
| assasukasse | TheSheep: i am a gnome user, i wanted to switch to xfce for lightness, but this test seems to tell me that xfce is not lighter nor faster | 12:30 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: the differences in speed in xubuntu, ubuntu and kubuntu come from using different apps -- if you use the same apps, you get the same results | 12:30 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: this test tells nothing about xfce | 12:31 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: it doesn't use xfce anywhere | 12:31 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: it tests the performance of gzip, gcc and lame, which are all the same on all 3 systems | 12:31 |
| assasukasse | TheSheep: but i could use gnumeric on ubuntu as well, having faster performance than ooffice. | 12:33 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: yes | 12:33 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: and you can install and use xfce on ubuntu too -- in which case you have almost the same as xubuntu | 12:34 |
| assasukasse | so i don't see the point, i tought that xfce is faster and lighter than gnome...i am currently using debian with enlightenment and is FAST | 12:34 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: xfce *is* faster and lighter than gnome -- it displays windows faster, it takes less ram, etc. | 12:35 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: but that has nothing to do with gzip | 12:35 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: these guys were testing wrong things :) | 12:35 |
| gpocentek | *g* | 12:36 |
| gpocentek | this is totally useless | 12:36 |
| TheSheep | I'm actually amazed they got any meaningful differences at all -- tells something about their test suite :) | 12:37 |
| gpocentek | hehe | 12:37 |
| MattJ | Any idea why it takes me a couple of clicks on 'Quit' for the logout/shutdown/reboot dialog to appear? | 12:39 |
| TheSheep | MattJ: no, but I have the same | 12:39 |
| MattJ | Odd | 12:39 |
| TheSheep | indeed | 12:40 |
| MattJ | I'm sure it didn't used to happen | 12:40 |
| TheSheep | looks like some race condition somewhere | 12:40 |
| === MattJ hopes it works in Feisty | ||
| MattJ | I'd be testing, if I had a PC spare | 12:41 |

| assasukasse | TheSheep: in your personal tests, gnome or xfce proved to be faster? | 01:00 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: I didn't do any tests -- xfce just feels more responsive | 01:03 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: and works on computers that no gnome can work on :) | 01:03 |
| assasukasse | TheSheep: the same seems to me, thunar is 100 times faster than nautilus | 01:03 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: but that can be a trick of well designed UI (showing reactions before it really finishes processing) | 01:04 |
| assasukasse | oic :D | 01:05 |
| assasukasse | i tried herd 5 and i love the transparency | 01:05 |
| assasukasse | of xfce | 01:05 |
| TheSheep | well, you get the same thing wit Compiz or Beryl | 01:05 |
| assasukasse | i used compiz on gnome and is not the same... | 01:05 |
| === MarkCh [n=mark@203.87.211.27] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| assasukasse | i was wondering what happens if i install compiz on xfce | 01:05 |
| MarkCh | why would you do that? | 01:06 |
| MarkCh | xfwm can compose | 01:06 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: it works fine, except for the workspace switcher | 01:06 |
| MarkCh | the xfwm workspace switcher looks better than the beryl default though. | 01:06 |
| assasukasse | and the jello windows | 01:06 |
| assasukasse | beryl has always looked garbage to me..i dunno why | 01:07 |
| assasukasse | compiz far better | 01:07 |
| MarkCh | seriously xfce's compositing functions are ok enough for me. it transfers all the drawing loads off my cpu to the videocard. | 01:07 |
| TheSheep | assasukasse: I tried them both, and metacity too (when xfwm4 had this horrible bug with GIMP rendering my tablet useless), but I hate the way they place the windows | 01:07 |
| assasukasse | TheSheep: yea sometime they pop up in the upper corner.. | 01:08 |
| MarkCh | The Sheep: place the windows? | 01:08 |
| TheSheep | MattJ: yes, xfce has some very smart algorithms for that | 01:08 |
| TheSheep | MattJ: beryl just doesn't care, just like ms windows | 01:08 |
| MarkCh | oh. beryl. beryl is annoying at putting windows for the first time. | 01:09 |
| TheSheep | annoying is an understatement :) | 01:09 |
| assasukasse | i dunno but u should try compiz from gandalfn repo | 01:10 |
| assasukasse | is the best i've tried so far | 01:10 |
| assasukasse | beryl gave me sickness after 30 mins of use..not talking about the bunch of useless plugins..like snows and so on... | 01:10 |

| MarkCh | stransky: try the other mirrors. the us mirror could be temporarily down as with any other servers. | 04:51 |

| maxamillion | IRCER: oh ... that's not a bug, in xubuntu the update manager doesn't automatically check for updates ... the user must manually do so, i think it was part of the "we think the update manager pop up window is annoying" thing | 08:07 |
| mark487 | hi, where are xubuntu's settings on putting the hd's to sleep? | 08:07 |

| IRCER | maxamillion: now, what should I do? i'm new to xubuntu | 08:13 |

| TheSheep | tonyyarusso: example content | 08:49 |
| pleia2 | tonyyarusso: on my laptop (3G harddrive, had to be slim) I found that the server install was a must, if you want gaim, abiword, xscreensaver, thunderbird, etc you can install them separately later - I didn't want any of this | 08:49 |

| tonyyarusso | TheSheep: lol, that's a must for these machines. They're being given to low-tech, low-income families. | 08:50 |

| Viper_iii | Sorry not basic...LOL its on a Grandma's LAMP but has simple setup it looks like... | 08:59 |
| Viper_iii | Apache2 how and where might I add the virtualhost setup lines? | 08:59 |
| Viper_iii | apache2.conf | 08:59 |

| Viper_iii | the lamp itself is easy enough on xubuntu but I want multiple sites... I setup a single a record and added cnames for the vhosts.... when I edit in there it doesn't seem to grab the vhosts.... | 09:01 |
| tonyyarusso | The fact that you just said the phrase "Grandma's LAMP" is awesome, btw. | 09:01 |

| Viper_iii | www.foo.com 192.168.1.1 well foo2.com resolves to foo.com | 09:02 |
| tonyyarusso | So you need VHOSTs that just are aliases for another, ya? Are there actually multiple sites on here? | 09:02 |
| Viper_iii | but pulls a different docroot and displays a different site... I'm going to edit the 000-default.conf... YES just aliases | 09:03 |
| IRCER | hi all. just another question: why are there 2 printer services (cupsys and hplip) activated by default? | 09:03 |
| tonyyarusso | Oh, if you want a different docroot then you don't mean what you said quite ;) foo2.com resolves to the same IP as foo.com, not to foo.com itself. | 09:04 |
| tonyyarusso | Viper_iii: ServerName I think is the line you need to change | 09:04 |
| Viper_iii | right.... that is correct.. I was typing fast... so yes a foo2.com cname foo.com | 09:04 |
| Viper_iii | Servername? Why the default servername is fine... that is the root site or the default for that address... the hostheaders separate the rest... | 09:06 |
| tonyyarusso | Hold on - let me get you a sample | 09:07 |
| Viper_iii | okay the darn 000-default file has a vhost in it... | 09:07 |
| Viper_iii | which is fine... but looks wierd... | 09:07 |
| Viper_iii | might also be the root of my headache... | 09:07 |
| Eagle_101 | mmm odd, cdrecord did figure it out with some command line options :D | 09:08 |
| tonyyarusso | Viper_iii: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8820/ - there's a second site down at the bottom | 09:10 |

| Viper_iii | okay... that helped huge!!! | 09:16 |
| Viper_iii | I see where you were saying ServerName Now... duh... it did need that line someone was right I owe that person an apology! | 09:16 |
| tonyyarusso | :) | 09:18 |
| Viper_iii | well it took the lines... darn but its not redirecting to the alias when I go to Http://www.foo2.com it still resolves www.foo.com | 09:20 |

| tonyyarusso | Viper_iii: That's probably because of the cname thing - I'm guessing you don't actually want a cname. | 09:21 |
| Viper_iii | okay... it is working... | 09:21 |
| Viper_iii | I don't? | 09:21 |
| tonyyarusso | I'm not entirely sure, but I'd suggest carefully reading about what a CNAME does and deciding if that's what you meant. | 09:22 |
| Viper_iii | its working... ahhh... like you used a subdomain which is then redirected... a CName would be a different domain entirely aimed at the same IP like you said... then the Web server defines where it is looking based on the host header right? | 09:23 |
| Viper_iii | damn I'm lost.... | 09:23 |
| Viper_iii | you were right that is all I know!!!??!!! | 09:24 |

| Viper_iii | Anyone using intel 965 chipset and SATA Drives on Ubuntu with Dual Core yet? 965 Neo is my problem... Trying to install on a board configured ICHR (I THink) Raid Array and it doesn't see the CD-rom 1/2 way through the install nor any of the HDD's when in Raid Mode... Just checking | 09:38 |
| IRCER | tonyyarusso: why this? | 09:38 |
| tonyyarusso | IRCER: Quality of printer itself plus quality of Linux driver cooperation. Epson's good if you only do B&W. Lexmark is dirt. | 09:39 |

| Prisoner_ | have an audio cd playback issue with gxine | 09:42 |
| IRCER | tonyyarusso: I still don't understand why there are 2 printer daemons running by default. is this a bug or sa featur? | 09:42 |
| tonyyarusso | IRCER: I'd say feature, since otherwise people would have to start one. If you don't want it, use sysv-rc-conf to disable | 09:43 |
| IRCER | tonyyarusso: | 09:44 |
| Qew | maybe your printer or scanner is a rebadged HP | 09:44 |
| IRCER | tonyyarusso: since xubuntu tries to be as lean as possible, i would expect only cupsd (if at all) | 09:44 |
| IRCER | tonyyarusso: BTW, my feisty fawn has no sysv-rc-conf | 09:47 |
| tonyyarusso | it's not default | 09:48 |
| Qew | also there's BUM (boot-up manager) if you want a GUI to control services. | 09:50 |
| IRCER | tonyyarusso: sure, it is default. i've just installed the latest xubuntu feisty fawn | 09:51 |
| TheSheep | IRCER: sysv-rc-conf is not installed by default | 09:51 |
| tonyyarusso | IRCER: I mean the program isn't | 09:51 |

| Prisoner_ | there's a brief pause in between each track which isn't desirable, any hints? | 09:59 |
| IRCER | i insist on my opinion. i have installed xubuntu to have a very lean distributiuon for my old IBM T21 laptop. and only a minority (<< 50%) of people i know has an HP printer attached to their computer. so i would like the hplip daemon to be DISABLED by default. i think it does not suit to xubuntu's philosophy. | 10:01 |
| Qew | IRCER: you haven't given us what make and models your printer and scanner are. They might, for all we know, be rebadged HP devices. | 10:02 |

| W3bbo | Hi, I'm having problems installing Xubuntu under VirtualPC 2004, even under Safe Graphics mode it switches to unsupported 24-bit video | 10:18 |
| Viper_iii | you just want to disable those services ? and wondering why they're there in the first place right? | 10:19 |
| Viper_iii | VPC 2004 Sucks...LOL sorry but it does | 10:19 |
| W3bbo | it's better for gaming than VMWare :) | 10:19 |
| Viper_iii | if you have to use ms product use virtual server 2005 its okay but not greate | 10:20 |
| Viper_iii | isn't there a vpc 2005? | 10:20 |
| W3bbo | but I got Ubuntu 6.06 working a while back, but not 6.10 | 10:20 |
| W3bbo | no, there is VPC2007 but its in beta | 10:20 |
| W3bbo | MS released VPC Additions for Linux a while back | 10:20 |
| Viper_iii | oh.... | 10:20 |
| IRCE1 | Viper_iii: yes, exactly. as far as i understand, xubuntu tried to be as lean as possible. so why enabling a service by default that only a minority needs? | 10:20 |
| Viper_iii | yeah I remember running vpc o4 and it was a basic pain.. but worked... | 10:21 |
| W3bbo | it also helps to install VPC2004 SP1 ;) | 10:21 |
| Viper_iii | it enables those services because HP is an extremely common brand and most people who are using old machines also have old HP InkJets... that makes sense to me that it uses a lean print service even though HP isn't the only one yes... but they do have a large market share... good question but it seems they were just trying to get a broad audience | 10:22 |
| Viper_iii | VPC Sp1... wow only a SP1 for MS product 2 to 3 years old you would think that would be sp 3 by now at least!!... LOL (sorry had to throw it out there... ) and I'm a MS guy... duh | 10:23 |
| W3bbo | I'm bigger, I've got a WS2003 domain controller and Exchange server just for my home LAN | 10:23 |
| W3bbo | true story :) | 10:24 |
| Viper_iii | MCSE certs and I'd rather be here in the ubuntu group...heh | 10:24 |
| IRCE1 | Viper_iii: ok, i do not know the exact of ratio of people actually having attahced an HP device to their machine, but even if this is > 50 %, i wonder why there is a second lpd running by default? | 10:24 |
| IRCE1 | Viper_iii: i call this FAT ,not LEAN. | 10:25 |
| Viper_iii | I agree but I'll bet its not a big resource hog and helps those of us basic get through it easier... The overall Graphics, services and other things are very lean... true a bit fat on printing but might be easier though? (i really don't know) | 10:25 |
| Viper_iii | wow.. this Lamp server with xubuntu won't even let me log it out.... auto login... duh | 10:26 |
