| kalikiana|dead | Any chance to rescue my hd when I saved my data | 12:29 |
| Arkh | argh kalikiana|dead :( | 12:30 |
| Arkh | can you still mount it from the live? | 12:30 |
| kalikiana|dead | I did not try yet, little bit afraid. | 12:30 |
| Arkh | well you can't lose more | 12:30 |
| kalikiana|dead | But I think yes. | 12:30 |
| Arkh | do a dmesg | grep -i hd | 12:30 |
| T`2 | is there any improvement on wireless connections setup in xubuntu? | 12:30 |
| T`2 | fiesty.. | 12:31 |
| maxamillion | kalikiana|dead: yeah ... mounting it from live cd and accessing the data is probably going to be your only chance of getting it back | 12:31 |
| Arkh | and see what does it say | 12:31 |
| maxamillion | T`2: not entirely sure to be honest, i upgraded :/ | 12:31 |
| Arkh | (if you have a ata, if you have a sata grep i sd) | 12:31 |
| kalikiana|dead | Last hd boot said :hd error, fsck failed: | 12:31 |
| T`2 | maxamillion, ic.. what are you using for connecting to wireless ? | 12:31 |

| Arkh | backup your data | 12:33 |
| kalikiana|dead | Arkh, Arg, I am glad that did not happen to me. | 12:33 |
| Arkh | and go out buying a new hd | 12:33 |
| maxamillion | T`2: wifi-radar on one laptop and gnome-network-manager's nm-applet on another | 12:33 |
| Arkh | oh and get ready for a fresh feisty installation too :P | 12:33 |
| T`2 | maxamillion, oh ok.. i use wifi-radar in edgy, not that great | 12:33 |
| Arkh | kalikiana|dead, did you try the dmesg | grep -i hd ? | 12:33 |
| T`2 | maxamillion, hopefully its better on fiesty.. | 12:34 |
| Arkh | does it say something about some hard drives? | 12:34 |
| kalikiana|dead | Arkh, I think I read about fixing bad sectors and using reserved sectors. Any idea about that | 12:34 |
| Arkh | that is fsck | 12:34 |
| Arkh | but that failed | 12:34 |
| Arkh | so I think it is pretty bad | 12:34 |
| maxamillion | T`2: there are two projects being worked on for xfce .... http://compwiz18.blackhole.cx/wicd/wb/ and http://spuriousinterrupt.org/projects/airconfig ... and i think one of them will eventually become default in xubuntu but neither appeared stable enough in their current state of development | 12:34 |

| maxamillion | kalikiana|dead_: i think you will have to link the directory of the mount to the directory that is being shared by the ftp server | 01:24 |

| maxamillion | CnH: yeah, that's good | 01:38 |
| Arkh | kalikiana|dead_, how many data are you going to back up? | 01:39 |
| CnH | and whats the upgrade switch for apt-get again? | 01:39 |
| maxamillion | CnH: once that is all pointing to feisty repos, save it and then do "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade" or "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" if you prefer apt-get | 01:39 |
| Arkh | gigs of * | 01:39 |
| kalikiana|dead_ | Arkh, At least 2 (most important), possibly more | 01:39 |
| Arkh | kalikiana|dead_, it would be easier to do it with 2 linux machines.. | 01:40 |
| CnH | it was already set like that, at least the one in /etc/apt was | 01:40 |
| kalikiana|dead_ | Does anybody know what the samba login on a live cd? | 01:40 |
| maxamillion | CnH: really? ... are you already running feisty? | 01:40 |
| CnH | I don't think so | 01:40 |
| CnH | How would I know | 01:40 |
| kalikiana|dead_ | Arkh: Yeah, but the laptop has not workin linux on it. | 01:40 |
| Arkh | am I wrong or you need a samba server to get samba working? | 01:40 |
| maxamillion | CnH: enter "uname -r" in the Terminal and paste its output here | 01:41 |
| CnH | 2.6.20-12-generic | 01:41 |
| kalikiana|dead_ | Arkh: I have samba, added a share and winxp can get to the login dialog. But I need a user and a pass. | 01:41 |
| maxamillion | CnH: yeah, you're running feisty ... just need to get the kernel update | 01:42 |
| CnH | ah, ok | 01:42 |
| kalikiana|dead_ | Arkh: If it works I would use samba instead of ftp. | 01:42 |
| maxamillion | CnH: the latest is 2.6.20-15-generic | 01:42 |
| CnH | I thought I had installed the beta release from a few weeks ago, but when I open up Firefox it showed 6.06 docs | 01:42 |
| maxamillion | CnH: ohhh yeah, the beta didn't have the new docs on it yet | 01:42 |
| Ezep | feeloader | 01:42 |
| Ezep | that... | 01:42 |
| CnH | ok, so I can just do an apt-get update or something like that? | 01:43 |
| maxamillion | CnH: we hadn't finished writing the feisty docs when the beta image was posted | 01:43 |
| CnH | no problem, thats why I came here to ask how to do it | 01:43 |
| maxamillion | CnH: you can use the update-manager if you want ... it works in fesity, but if you prefer you can do "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" (the reason for "dist-upgrade" is because apt see's kernel upgrades as a "dist") | 01:43 |
| Arkh | kalikiana|dead_, paste your /etcsamba.conf? | 01:44 |
| CnH | ok, cool | 01:44 |
| Arkh | /etc/* | 01:44 |
| kalikiana|dead_ | Arkh: /etc/samba.conf is empty. | 01:45 |
| Arkh | /etc/samba/samba.conf ? | 01:46 |
| CnH | should I be worried about 404 errors for 91.189.89.6 80, it looks like its moving to the next one fine but I'm not entirely sure | 01:46 |
| kalikiana|dead_ | Arkh, Nope :( | 01:46 |
| Arkh | is samba installed? I think so.. | 01:47 |
| kalikiana|dead_ | Arkh: The winxp laptop gets until the login dialog. So it must be workin. | 01:47 |
| kalikiana|dead_ | And I installed it. | 01:47 |
| Arkh | kalikiana|dead_, do a find / -name samba.conf 2>/dev/null | 01:48 |

| Lord_Maynoth_42 | its /dev/sda1 | 06:44 |
| maxamillion | Lord_Maynoth_42: lots of reasons ... but the main one is generally that the gnome developers see their target user as "stupid" and thus try to make the desktop environment do as much as it can for them without completely taking them over | 06:44 |
| maxamillion | Lord_Maynoth_42: well ... no, i take that back ... i think the main reason they use gnome is becuase gnome mixes well with windows networks because it has full samba support for file server shares and printer shares | 06:45 |

| Lord_Maynoth_42 | I like speed | 06:45 |

| Lord_Maynoth_42 | you can watch this guy stop bullets with his hands | 07:08 |
| Lord_Maynoth_42 | and light an LED light | 07:08 |
| Lord_Maynoth_42 | the scientists just scratch their heads | 07:08 |
| fluffyashes | the intro of this video is killing me | 07:09 |
| fluffyashes | you know i think i found a way to get around that 64 bit flash problem in gentoo i dont remember it tho lol i think it was using 32 bit opera | 07:09 |
| fluffyashes | so this dynamo jack guy is an anime character in the irl world..... minus the big eyes | 07:10 |
| fluffyashes | i know what it is! He's the amino ginji | 07:12 |
| fluffyashes | (i can't spell japanese) | 07:12 |
| maxamillion | fluffyashes: well they are supposed to release a youtube capable version of gnash by the end of the year ... apparently gnash has been getting alot more attention since adobe screwed with the license and it can't be in the repos anymore | 07:12 |
| fluffyashes | i cannot believe adobe absorbed macromedia | 07:12 |
| maxamillion | fluffyashes: yeah, you can run 32-bit firefox on amd64 ... i would just rather not | 07:12 |
| fluffyashes | this after corel stole jasc | 07:12 |
| fluffyashes | its bad enough they had that horrible office suite lol | 07:13 |
| maxamillion | fluffyashes: i can, i always say adobe as one of those companies that couldn't be killed so would just slowly start buying out other companies to make themselves larger | 07:13 |
| Lord_Maynoth_42 | he is jedi... in every sense of the word... George Lucas ripped off the concept of the force from Nei Kung (neigong) and Chi Kung (qigong) | 07:13 |
| fluffyashes | qigong jin! | 07:13 |

| Lord_Maynoth_42 | well... I am honestly pursuing the path of nei kung | 07:16 |
| fluffyashes | i just quit being a slut | 07:16 |
| Lord_Maynoth_42 | it deals with the power of nuclear fusion like inside stars.. and gravity like from black holes | 07:16 |
| fluffyashes | i just like grew out of it and hit this whole committment stage or something | 07:16 |
| Lord_Maynoth_42 | yin and yang | 07:16 |
| CnH | What was the name of the guy who directed the first to X-Men movies? | 07:16 |

| fluffyashes | fsck | 07:17 |
| CnH | yeah, my wife wanted to ask him if he had done the third movie if he would have used all the transvestites | 07:17 |
| Lord_Maynoth_42 | doh | 07:17 |
| Lord_Maynoth_42 | :D | 07:17 |
| Lord_Maynoth_42 | I knew that | 07:17 |
| fluffyashes | well the animes i have watched FIRST in english are usually ok for me in english | 07:18 |
| maxamillion | Lord_Maynoth_42: "sudo fsck /dev/hda1" | 07:18 |
| maxamillion | err.. you might not even need sudo ... don't remember | 07:18 |
| fluffyashes | like inuyasha is still tolerable cowboy bebop, all gundams, outlaw star, cowboy bebop....etc etc | 07:18 |
| fluffyashes | it's dangerous to check a mounted filesystem also | 07:18 |
| fluffyashes | it will warn you about that if it is mounted | 07:18 |
| Lord_Maynoth_42 | i do a sudo unmount /dev/sda1 before that right? | 07:18 |
| maxamillion | oooo, LOVE gundam and outlaw star | 07:18 |
| fluffyashes | i'm weird cause my favorite gundams are Wing and G....no one likes G....i liked it cause it was different | 07:19 |

| fluffyashes | if you're trying to check sda1 yeah unmount it with that command first | 07:20 |
| fluffyashes | haha i bought it when it came out years ago | 07:21 |
| Lord_Maynoth_42 | haha | 07:21 |
| Lord_Maynoth_42 | that did it | 07:21 |
| Lord_Maynoth_42 | :D | 07:21 |
| Lord_Maynoth_42 | I had to sudo gparted | 07:21 |
| Lord_Maynoth_42 | to make it work | 07:21 |
| Lord_Maynoth_42 | the launcher doesn't give it root permision | 07:21 |
| fluffyashes | i used to have a model i built of death sythe but my roommates dog ate it | 07:21 |
| fluffyashes | you know you can use gksudo right? | 07:21 |

| fluffyashes | even when something is easier in the terminal i use the gui | 07:22 |
| fluffyashes | i use cfdisk instead of fdisk | 07:22 |
| fluffyashes | gedit over nano (even tho i'm using xfce) | 07:22 |
| maxamillion | fluffyashes: i pre-ordered 2 copies of ff7:advent children .... that's stellar but the english voice overs aren't so good because the readers mess up a few of the important lines about the buster sword | 07:22 |
| maxamillion | fluffyashes: gvim (vim-gtk package) | 07:22 |

| commonlyUNIQU3 | hello all! | 10:41 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | just installed 7.04 on an old P3 laptop w/ 128MB of memory (using Gnome)... with so little memory, is it worth it to switch to xfce? | 10:42 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | will I notice any better performance? | 10:42 |
| kma | hehu.. the required memory for ubuntu is 286mb of memory last time I checked :) | 10:43 |
| kma | commonlyUNIQU3: I recommend xfce over gnome anyday :) | 10:43 |
| kma | 256 :\ | 10:43 |
| Merchelo | xfce 4 life | 10:44 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | hmmm, it's running fine on 128, just S L O W | 10:44 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | lol | 10:44 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | I am on the Xubuntu channel after all... | 10:44 |
| === stibs nods xfce saves the day on old hardware | ||
| kma | I use xfce on modern hardware as well.. I hate wasting resources :) | 10:45 |
| Merchelo | give xfce a shot, there's nothing to lose, and even if that runs slow, use fluxbox, and if that runs slow... | 10:45 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | I can just run an apt-get install xubuntu-desktop to get all the goodies right? | 10:45 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | how about gnome and/or kde apps? do they still work? | 10:46 |
| === commonlyUNIQU3 sorry for the noob questions | ||
| stibs | I recommend loading the Gnome infrastructure at xfce start though (needs more memory but adds convenience) | 10:46 |
| stibs | so all Gnome apps will work | 10:46 |
| stibs | especially on a notebook gnome-power-manager is unbeatable | 10:47 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | If I already have a (gnome) ubuntu install, can I just apt-get install xubuntu-desktop & try it out | 10:47 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | then apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop? | 10:48 |
| stibs | I think so ... Slackware/xfce 4.4.1 here | 10:48 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | ah, well I'll give it a try anyways | 10:48 |
| stibs | (usually ... atm. suse/kde for completing a software test) | 10:48 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | well, thanks for the chat | 10:49 |
| grazie | commonlyUNIQU3: you can just insall xubuntu-desktop package to everything in xubuntu yes best this toute will not give you the best possible performance | 10:49 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | how can I get better performance? | 10:50 |
| grazie | commonlyUNIQU3: also removing ubuntu-desktop can be problematic. I'd recommend a clean install of xubuntu if possible | 10:50 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | eek! I just got done with a clean install & troubleshooting the wifi connection!!! | 10:51 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | I'd hate to start over... | 10:51 |
| Merchelo | or use synaptic package manager to remove, add stuff. | 10:51 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | if gnome/ubuntu has a 256mb requirement, what is xfce/xubuntu? | 10:52 |
| grazie | commonlyUNIQU3: ok. just add the xubuntu-desktop then...but it will not be quite a good as a clean install. oncey your happy with xubuntu (I sure you will be) you look at clean install later | 10:52 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | ^ as long as everything works | 10:53 |
| === commonlyUNIQU3 crosses fingers... | ||
| grazie | commonlyUNIQU3: minimum is supposed to be 64mb, but for half decent performance you need 128mb | 10:53 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | which is what this old betsy has | 10:54 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | 61.9MB of archives being downloaded now1 | 10:54 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | ! | 10:54 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | stibs: what's this "Gnome Infrastructure" you recommend loading at startup? | 10:55 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | is it installed with xubuntu-desktop? | 10:55 |
| stibs | gnome-volume-manager, gnome-power-manager, gnome-system-tools and dependencies | 10:56 |
| stibs | no, I think it's not installed by default from the xubuntu CD | 10:57 |
| stibs | but if you already have a working Gome install, you already have it | 10:57 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | stibs: k, thanks | 10:57 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | stibs: I'll check 'em out... | 10:57 |
| stibs | in xfce control center you can configurae in Startup that it loads the Gnome environment | 10:57 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | the laptop is apt-getting some xfce goodness (which will take a while), and I'm tired so I'm off! | 10:58 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | thanks all for the help... | 10:58 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | I've been using linux for a year solid now (mostly all gnome - didn't like kde at all), this will be my first venture into the xfce enviro - wish me luck! | 10:59 |

| grazie | stibs what's slack/xfce like? I thought slack liked to stick with kde | 11:28 |
| stibs | grazie: http://saxenos.de | 11:28 |
| stibs | Patrick includes KDE and XFCE and I made my own distro =) | 11:32 |
| stibs | but I'm thinking about switching the base to Ubuntu (though I don't like it too well personally) ... it's accepted far more than slack | 11:33 |
| shenmue | stibs: xubuntu 7.04 installed OK? | 11:35 |
| grazie | stibs: I've never tried slack because of the lack of a package manager and I thought kde was pretty well tied to the distro. However, I'm having too many kernel lockups and resets so I'm looking at trying other good stable kernels | 11:36 |
| stibs | not yet, installer runs from a usb 1.1 connected drive, so it's very slow | 11:36 |
| stibs | grazie: Slackware has different package managers (graphical with dependency tracking), best ist slapt-get/gslapt ... I use the Netpkg tool from Zenwalk | 11:37 |
| stibs | but I'd wait until Slack 12 is out, won't take long, you'll get Xorg 7.2 then | 11:39 |
| stibs | there are no decent xorg 7.2 packages for Slack yet | 11:39 |
| stibs | (another reason to try xubuntu ;) | 11:41 |
| grazie | stibs: really want to get a stable kernel on my x86 box asap without having to build my own from vanilla sources | 11:42 |
| stibs | hmmm, test SaxenOS in a VM if it's stable enough for you (2.6.18.6) | 11:43 |
| shenmue | stibs: slapt-get is just like apt-get in Debian/Ubuntu? | 11:44 |
| stibs | right, syntax: slapt-get --install package | 11:44 |
| stibs | the two dashes are required in slack | 11:44 |

| TommyTom | hi having a problem installing xbuntu 7.06 to a raid array. get error formating my ext3 and mounting to / | 11:47 |

| TheSheep | Unspeaking: did you try to press f6 and add acpi=off noapic nolapic, etc. to the boot parameters? | 11:48 |
| Unspeaking | No sir. I would consider myself quite Linux illiterate, to say the least I have had some experience with Mandriva, but only briefly | 11:49 |
| TheSheep | Unspeaking: if you press f1, then there is some help on some options that might possibly work -- unfortunately, it's mostly trial and error | 11:50 |
| TheSheep | Unspeaking: also, checking the cd fro defects might save yuo some time | 11:50 |
| TheSheep | for | 11:50 |
| Unspeaking | I've tried that too, and it restarts my computer. | 11:50 |
| TheSheep | fun | 11:51 |
| Unspeaking | The only option that works, is the boot to hard disc ( I think is the name ) and it boots up my current OS | 11:51 |
| TheSheep | Unspeaking: well, then try that f6 thing | 11:51 |
| Unspeaking | I'll go give it a try and check out the options | 11:51 |
| Unspeaking | As to what Sheep said, is there anything else I need to do | 11:52 |
| Unspeaking | Press f6 > type in " acpi=off noapic nolapic " | 11:52 |
| Unspeaking | Is there anything else from there? | 11:52 |
| stibs | maybe (if you have a buggy bios) add irqpoll | 11:52 |

| NearTotalN00b | Anyway, I've had some upgrade problems. | 12:09 |

| NearTotalN00b | Think I'll start downloading a suitable CD image... | 12:28 |

| === Merchelo begins the upgrade | ||
| Naughtyboy | kma, : sound interesting...... | 04:18 |
| Prodoc | nope, not at all, the upgrade is at the 'Fetching and installing the upgrades' stage | 04:18 |
| kma | Naughtyboy: checkpoint snap ~/before.snap | 04:19 |
| tactus | Did a fresh install over the beta with ubuntu alternate and did a xubuntu-desktop package installation, not sure what to do about it. | 04:19 |
| kma | Naughtyboy: then apt-get some.. install some packages.. test some stuff out.. perhaps compile a program | 04:19 |
| kma | Naughtyboy: then | 04:19 |
| kma | Naughtyboy: "checkpoint diff ~/before.snap" to see what have happend | 04:19 |
| TheSheep | Prodoc: this is a workaround only, but if you install 'zenity', you will have these messages displayed as normal dialogues -- windows with buttons and all | 04:19 |
| kma | Naughtyboy: "checkpoint revert ~/before.snap" to remove all packages that was installed | 04:20 |
| TheSheep | tactus: seems like you have some icon themes missing | 04:20 |
| Prodoc | TheSheep, but I'm already half way through the upgrade which I can't cancel | 04:20 |
| kma | Naughtyboy: I use it when I have to compile some program from the net that requires a load of -dev packages | 04:20 |
| Prodoc | first it was about libssl, which for some strange reason continued when I pressed the middle mouse button by accident. Now I get an postgresql message but I can't continue anymore | 04:20 |
| tactus | TheSheep, yeah, looks like it. Other gtk apps are affected aswell. | 04:21 |
| TheSheep | Prodoc: they probably ask whether to overwrite existing config files | 04:21 |
| Naughtyboy | kma, : OK...sounds very nice....I hate when the system gets bloated with left overs...and orphans..et.c | 04:21 |
| kma | yeah | 04:21 |
| TheSheep | tactus: try changing the icon theme | 04:21 |
| kma | Naughtyboy: same here.. thats why I wrote the script for my new install | 04:21 |
| kma | Naughtyboy: the first thing I did was to do a snapshot :) | 04:22 |
| Naughtyboy | kma, : you got this automated soehow..or is it a script you have to run manually.. | 04:22 |
| tactus | TheSheep, I've tried. Also creating a new user with fresh settings didn't help. Strange. | 04:22 |
| kma | Naughtyboy: I run i manually | 04:22 |
| Prodoc | TheSheep: this is the only text I see: 'Obsolete major version 8.1' 'and/or client package installed. Please install t' 'automatically create a default cluster 8.2/main. If you want to upgrade' 'T' | 04:22 |
| kma | Naughtyboy: i = it | 04:23 |
| kma | Naughtyboy: could be automated tho | 04:23 |
| Prodoc | no way to continue | 04:23 |
| Naughtyboy | ok...very nice...running it manually sounds even better.....you're in control of it.. | 04:23 |
| kma | yeah | 04:23 |
| kma | Naughtyboy: used it when I wanted Transmission 0.7.. just snapshot.. get packages.. build.. and then revert | 04:24 |
| kma | perhaps should make a cron job of it to snapshot everyday :) | 04:25 |

| maxamillion | Merchelo: yeah ... many | 05:22 |
| thongrim | when the prompt was on installing software, then the installer was unable to complete the process | 05:22 |
| thongrim | what can I do in order to make xubuntu working? | 05:22 |
| maxamillion | Merchelo: vista likes to take over the hard drive and not allow ubuntu to boot | 05:23 |
| Merchelo | cool thanks | 05:23 |
| maxamillion | thongrim: where did it stop? | 05:23 |
| maxamillion | Merchelo: no problem | 05:23 |

| amsmith42hs | I installed 6.10 onto a 400Mhz PII with 256MB without any trouble. | 05:31 |
| amsmith42hs | thongrim: Could it be a hard drive problem? | 05:31 |
| thongrim | no, because I have installed succesfully Xubuntu dapper about 6 times in the past 3 deys, and also formatted it because of upgrading to edgy problems | 05:31 |
| === Tuba_ [n=thomasaf@glenfarclas.arkolog.dk] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| thongrim | any ideas | 05:31 |
| thongrim | ? | 05:31 |
| maxamillion | thongrim: yeah .... dapper had alot less problems on older hardware because after dapper the ubuntu-base configuration got heavier on system resources and our core devs have been trying their hardest to keep it compatible for installation ... you might just have to upgrade from dapper to edgy and then edgy to feisty (which does work, i have upgraded a machine from breezy to dapper, then dapper to edgy, and edgy to feisty just to see if it would work) | 05:31 |
| joycetick | hey, I just booted xubuntu 7.04 from the cd and the menu bars arn't there ie the applications, task list, workspace manager etc are missing. Is it supposed to be like that? | 05:31 |
| Prodoc | you people still interested in upgrade glitches? | 05:31 |
| thongrim | and how I upgrade from dapper to edgy? | 05:31 |
| thongrim | ehm, sorry, do u think desktop install wouldn't work at all? | 05:32 |
| Tuba_ | Does anyone happen to have a direct link to the 7.04 i386 torrent - I've got a multi-gigabit connection doing absolutely nothing here... | 05:32 |
| thongrim | could it be a swapon /dev/hda1 problem? | 05:33 |
| Tuba_ | And it's not like torrnt.ubuntu.com is particularly happy. | 05:33 |

| hyper_ch | braveheartlion: editing the sources.list isn't difficult either... do you think it's difficult? | 06:56 |

| Qew | yeah, I'm reading that. The usual advice is to go one step at a time, but I'm wondering about from one LTS to another.

| TheSheep | frandavid100: if you boot the live cd, there is ( at the beginning) this menu, it has 'rescue broken system' | 11:52 |
| frandavid100 | if I just reinstall from here, and set the same partitions, but not to be formatted, will /home be obliterated? | 11:52 |
| hoth | Thesheep: I tried 8 times to get it to no avail | 11:52 |
| frandavid100 | hm | 11:52 |
| TheSheep | frandavid100: if you choose it, and follow the wizard, there is an 'reinstall grub' option | 11:52 |
| frandavid100 | didn't notice that entry | 11:52 |
| frandavid100 | whoa you made my day then | 11:52 |
| TheSheep | frandavid100: may be it's only on the alt cd though | 11:52 |
| frandavid100 | hm | 11:52 |
| TheSheep | frandavid100: but no worries, you can do that manually | 11:52 |
| frandavid100 | that wouldn't be too cool, how can I do it manually just in case? | 11:53 |
| TheSheep | frandavid100: open terminal, boot grub | 11:54 |
| TheSheep | frandavid100: sorry | 11:54 |
| TheSheep | frandavid100: open terminal, type 'grub' | 11:54 |
| TheSheep | frandavid100: wait for it to start | 11:54 |
| TheSheep | frandavid100: what partition is xubuntu installed on? | 11:54 |
| hoth | THE sheep: I used sudo update-manager -c -d to get the upgrade | 11:56 |
| TheSheep | hoth: can you fetch that file manually? | 11:57 |
| frandavid100 | er, /dev/hdc1 actually | 11:57 |
| hoth | from where? I haven seen where to get it | 11:57 |
| TheSheep | hoth: wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 | 11:57 |
| hoth | thanks will try it | 11:57 |
| TheSheep | frandavid100: ok, so in the grub, type 'root (hd0,0)' | 11:58 |
| TheSheep | frandavid100: then 'setup (hd0)' | 11:58 |
| frandavid100 | Selected disk does not exist | 11:59 |
| frandavid100 | :( | 11:59 |
| TheSheep | O.o | 11:59 |

| frandavid100 | damn | 12:00 |
| TheSheep | frandavid100: at least not if you have it all on one partition | 12:01 |
| Terramel | Hello | 12:01 |
| TheSheep | frandavid100: do you have a separate /home partition? | 12:01 |

| alnokta | TheSheep: ah, may be, i will just stick with vesa, its not much different from it anyway | 12:02 |

| frandavid100 | really | 12:03 |
| _StefanS_ | ulf_am_beat: yea, but I was just wondering the best way to do it in xfce , it would just start a vncserver on a display that boots into xfce | 12:03 |
| TheSheep | frandavid100: ok, good night | 12:03 |
| frandavid100 | see you tomorrow! | 12:03 |

| _StefanS_ | ulf_am_beat: just sort of checking what would be the preferred way to do it ;) | 12:03 |
| TheSheep | _StefanS_: there are vnc servers that work similar to rdesktop -- allow you to log in | 12:03 |
| TheSheep | _StefanS_: there is also LTSP | 12:04 |
| TheSheep | _StefanS_: actually, I think LTSP is the way :) | 12:04 |
| _StefanS_ | TheSheep: uhm ok, I would just like it to keep a session running at all times that I can connect to. Guess vnc is the way to go | 12:04 |
| TheSheep | _StefanS_: ah, ok, yes | 12:04 |
| TheSheep | _StefanS_: this or nxclient | 12:04 |
| _StefanS_ | TheSheep: I know what you mean, but I'm the only user, soo .. :) | 12:04 |
| ulf_am_beat | xrdp is okay for a beat system :) | 12:05 |
| _StefanS_ | TheSheep: well doesn't nxclient suspend the session ? | 12:05 |
| _StefanS_ | TheSheep: or i might be mistaken | 12:05 |
| ulf_am_beat | rxdp? beta? oh well.. | 12:05 |
| TheSheep | _StefanS_: not sure, I've only heard some good things about it | 12:06 |
| _StefanS_ | TheSheep: it is very good, but I cant remember if it keeps the sessions running. | 12:06 |
| ulf_am_beat | me too, but i dont thing its open source, isnit? | 12:06 |
| _StefanS_ | TheSheep: only way to find out .... | 12:06 |

| pokieo | hello can anyone help me? | 12:15 |
| Pumpernickel | !anyone | 12:16 |
| ubotu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 12:16 |
| pokieo | okay, I am trying to login as root and when I try the login page tells me I can't login fromthere | 12:16 |
| pokieo | I am trying to update the virus definitions | 12:17 |
| Pumpernickel | Yeah, root is disabled by default. You can use `sudo` from your regular account. | 12:17 |
| === ulf_am_beat [n=ulf@d83-189-58-99.cust.tele2.de] has left #xubuntu [] | ||
| pokieo | yes in the terminal | 12:18 |
| pokieo | but what about when the progam is installed and needs to run in root? | 12:18 |
| maxamillion | pokieo: sudo will give it root privilages without having to require the root account be enabled | 12:19 |
| maxamillion | !sudo | pokieo | 12:19 |
| ubotu | pokieo: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 12:19 |
| maxamillion | !botsnack | 12:19 |
| ubotu | Yum! | 12:19 |
| pokieo | thanks | 12:19 |
| maxamillion | pokieo: no problem | 12:20 |
| maxamillion | pokieo: i know its a little different and it might take a little getting used to if you are coming from another distro, but it really helps take the ambiguity out of desktop administration and it also adds a little bit of security because you only have an admin account and not root.... kinda like how Mac OS X does it by default | 12:21 |
