| Pumpernickel | You can, somewhat - you can specify ranges in xorg.conf for HorizSync and VertRefresh, as well as specifying specific resolutions. | 12:28 |
| Pumpernickel | If the driver, or the monitor, or the card don't support those values, though, it may fail utterly. | 12:28 |
| Pumpernickel | You can also investigate the bot in /msg. | 12:29 |
| alnokta | ah, thanks Pumpernickel :) | 12:29 |
| alnokta | but how to add these values? | 12:30 |

| frandavid100 | when I try to access it through thunar, I get: couldn't mount, mount point could not be determined | 10:42 |
| frandavid100 | maybe specifying a different mount point? | 10:42 |
| fijam | well, you can but I do not know if this will do much good. You may want to search for documentation for fsck, hdparm, fstab, and such and see what information about your drive you can get and check if it works correctly | 10:43 |

| fijam | Your case is rather individual, I won't be able to just guide you through that | 10:44 |
| frandavid100 | Hm | 10:44 |
| frandavid100 | I think I'm gonna search for any hardware problems first... guess it must be the hardware | 10:44 |
| frandavid100 | thanks for your heljp fijam! | 10:45 |
| frandavid100 | later! | 10:45 |
| fijam | you may try to mount it manually with 'mount' to a different mount point | 10:45 |
| fijam | good luck | 10:45 |

| test3r | hi im running on 606 again because i try twice to burn 704, and the alt and the desktop versions misburnt. the MD5 checked OK too, and Nero verified post-burn. | 10:45 |
| test3r | maybe its a string of bad blank CDs =( | 10:45 |
| fijam | I have no idea, I have been just upgrading | 10:46 |
| test3r | also, the gForce legacy drivers are broke post 606 as far as i can tell | 10:46 |
| test3r | because I just got direct rendering back on again | 10:46 |
| fijam | well, the update manager itself failed on me :). I am reconfiguring everything manually now. | 10:47 |
| test3r | i had that happen to me too | 10:47 |
| test3r | then nex t time i tried it it worked. on Ubuntu 704 | 10:47 |
| test3r | but then I couldnt setup legacy still | 10:48 |
| fijam | Next time I tried to run it it segfaulted :D | 10:48 |
| test3r | so im back to xubuntu 606 ;p | 10:48 |
| test3r | is that the "cant get critial hold" eror or whatnot | 10:48 |
| fijam | no idea | 10:48 |
| test3r | "exclusive lock" thats it | 10:49 |
| fijam | ah, you might have tried to run i.e synaptic and apt-get simultanously | 10:49 |
| test3r | thats what they said but i only tried to apt-get install AFTER i got that error | 10:50 |
| test3r | then apt-get install synaptic failed out too | 10:50 |

| fijam | most of 'em struggling with feisty I guess :) | 11:10 |
| coldsteal | ya but most of them r sleeping | 11:10 |

| coldsteal | lol ya | 11:10 |
| hyper_ch | there's 4 ppl right now :) that's many :) | 11:10 |
| coldsteal | i guess | 11:10 |
| hyper_ch | coldsteal: you're good with awk? | 11:11 |
| coldsteal | nope | 11:11 |
| coldsteal | lol | 11:11 |
| coldsteal | whay what r u trying | 11:11 |
| Merchelo | i'm here as well. | 11:11 |
| hyper_ch | Merchelo: hiho | 11:11 |
| hyper_ch | coldsteal: to parse the output of df -l and add the diskcapacities together | 11:11 |
| hyper_ch | the sysinfo script should parse it but it is not | 11:12 |

| coldsteal | why not -h | 11:12 |

| hyper_ch | see, before the RAM it's blank | 11:13 |
| coldsteal | let me see ur script | 11:13 |
| hyper_ch | it's not mine... it's a konversation script.... I modified it to display Xfce version instead of KDE :) | 11:14 |
| coldsteal | well let me see what u have | 11:14 |
| coldsteal | http://rafb.net/paste/ | 11:14 |
| hyper_ch | coldsteal: http://phpfi.com/228589 | 11:14 |
| coldsteal | that doent evan work for me | 11:18 |
| coldsteal | is that ur whole script? | 11:18 |
| hyper_ch | coldsteal: no, it's not :) | 11:20 |
| hyper_ch | I'll pate the whole thing | 11:20 |
| hyper_ch | coldsteal: here's the whole script http://phpfi.com/228594 | 11:22 |
| coldsteal | okay ill have a look | 11:24 |
| coldsteal | lol im not good with awk be sometime u just need anouther pair of eyes to look over code | 11:24 |
| hyper_ch | coldsteal: I haven't use awk at all | 11:24 |
| hyper_ch | and I still try to "improve" the xfce portion | 11:25 |
| hyper_ch | replacing this (with sed) xfce4-session 4.4.0 (Xfce 4.4.0) by this: Xfce 4.4.0 | 11:25 |

| rand | isn't a ^M indicate that it's a DOS format text file? | 11:35 |
| rand | ^M = Carriage Return <CR> | 11:35 |
| rand | yeah, ascii 13 decimal | 11:36 |

| coldsteal | tot+=$2/1024; | 11:36 |
| coldsteal | okay rand | 11:37 |
| hyper_ch | I found the problem | 11:37 |
| coldsteal | what is it? | 11:37 |
| rand | yeah? :) | 11:37 |
| coldsteal | im install dos2unix | 11:38 |
| coldsteal | rand: ^ | 11:38 |
| coldsteal | hyper_ch: what was the problem | 11:38 |
| hyper_ch | the awk installed doesn't support the "**" operator | 11:38 |
| coldsteal | mine eather | 11:38 |
| coldsteal | hyper_ch: u can try bc for that part | 11:39 |
| hyper_ch | or use /1024/1024 | 11:39 |
| hyper_ch | that works | 11:39 |
| coldsteal | ok | 11:39 |
| hyper_ch | instead of making 1024**2 | 11:39 |
| coldsteal | hyper_ch: is it done? | 11:40 |
| hyper_ch | coldsteal: problem solved :) | 11:42 |
| hyper_ch | feistys version of mawk does not support the "**" but in edgy it works | 11:43 |
| hyper_ch | if gawk is additioanlly installed the diskspace is shwon even with ** | 11:43 |

| coldsteal | so its tot+=$2/1024/1024; | 11:44 |
| coldsteal | or | 11:45 |
| coldsteal | tot+=1024/1024; | 11:45 |
| hyper_ch | the 1024**2 means actually --> 1024 squared | 11:45 |
| hyper_ch | so you can either replace $2/2024**2 by $2/1024/1024 or you install gawk | 11:46 |
| coldsteal | HD: 1/13GB, | 11:46 |
| rand | or, $2/(1024*1024) | 11:46 |
| coldsteal | is that the output ur shooting for | 11:46 |
| hyper_ch | coldsteal: yeah, that works | 11:47 |
| hyper_ch | but I installed now gawk so that works also | 11:47 |
| hyper_ch | so, now how to sed "out" the Xfce 4.4.0 from xfce4-session 4.4.. (Xfce 4.4.0) ^^ | 11:47 |
| coldsteal | what do u want out of it the xfce4-seasion | 11:48 |
| hyper_ch | no, I want the Xfce 4.4.0 | 11:48 |

| frandavid100 | 320 mb | 12:19 |
| hyper_ch | frandavid100: hmm, although it's a good thing to have a seperate home with just a 4gb drive I would advice against it | 12:19 |
| coldsteal | hyper_ch: xfce4-session --version | sed '1 { s/.*(\(.*\)).*/\1/; q}' | 12:20 |
| coldsteal | thats it | 12:20 |
| frandavid100 | any practical reason, beyond having limited storage? | 12:20 |
| hyper_ch | frandavid100: if you had more than lets say 15 GB then I would make a seperate home | 12:21 |
| frandavid100 | see, it's for my girlfriend and she doesn't store movies or anything... Id rather have her few files protected | 12:21 |
| kpel | i upgraded to feisty and the ca-certificates package is broken and breaks other packages too (curl, openoffice). is there any fix/workaround? | 12:21 |
| hyper_ch | coldsteal: can you teach me regex ^^ | 12:21 |
| coldsteal | hyper_ch: lol i dont know it | 12:21 |
| coldsteal | just like i dont know awk | 12:21 |
| frandavid100 | I already trashed her data today and she's gonna kick my ass when she finds out :S | 12:21 |
| hyper_ch | coldsteal: yeah sure... xfce4-session --version | sed '1 { s/.*(\(.*\)).*/\1/; q}' that very much looks like regex | 12:21 |
| coldsteal | frandavid100: rm -fr / | 12:22 |
| grazie | hyper_ch: re:regex....how much time you got? | 12:22 |
| coldsteal | that clears things up | 12:22 |
| hyper_ch | frandavid100: well, Ubuntu requires already 1.5 GB and then you should have at least 500 mb swap.... and then you need additional space if you want to install further programs and stuff | 12:22 |
| frandavid100 | I'm not gonna install much stuff | 12:22 |
| hyper_ch | splitting up the 4gb drive will just make either very limited /home partition or limit you on the system | 12:22 |
| coldsteal | frandavid100: screw that | 12:23 |
| frandavid100 | last-exit, bmp and maybe a couple more programs | 12:23 |
| hyper_ch | frandavid100: I'd say you'll need at least 2.5 gb of root | 12:23 |
| coldsteal | do a netinstall of debian or ubuntu | 12:23 |
| grazie | frandavid100: I think hyper_ch was advising against a separate /home due to your limited disk size, but in principal it is still a very good idea | 12:23 |
| frandavid100 | yup that was my bet | 12:23 |
| hyper_ch | leaving you then maybe with 1gb /home | 12:23 |
| hyper_ch | frandavid100: or you could use damnsmalllinux | 12:23 |
| hyper_ch | that uses much less space | 12:23 |
| coldsteal | na screw that also | 12:23 |
| hyper_ch | I have it on my usb stick | 12:23 |
| coldsteal | get gentoo | 12:24 |
| hyper_ch | grazie: time to learn regex... hmm 15min? | 12:24 |
| frandavid100 | so, that would make: 2.5 / 0.5 swap 1 /home | 12:24 |
| frandavid100 | right? | 12:24 |
| coldsteal | grazie: u know regex? | 12:24 |

| hyper_ch | well, then you could also setup a vnc so if she has problems you can log yourself in | 12:32 |
| hyper_ch | then you can "see and show" yourself | 12:32 |
| hyper_ch | that's how I handle the KDE of my mom | 12:32 |
| frandavid100 | hm... that would be an option, yeah | 12:32 |
| frandavid100 | never tried it, actually | 12:32 |
| coldsteal | hyper_ch: i made it display cooler | 12:33 |
| hyper_ch | or you could additionally install xubuntu-desktop to yourse | 12:33 |
| hyper_ch | coldsteal: what did you do now? | 12:33 |
| frandavid100 | but can you do that if they're not in the same lan? | 12:33 |
| coldsteal | lol | 12:33 |
| coldsteal | just a sec ill past it | 12:33 |
| hyper_ch | frandavid100: well, has she access to a router? | 12:33 |
| hyper_ch | frandavid100: I mean the router of her lan? | 12:33 |
| frandavid100 | er... yeah, but I don't think she would know what to do with it | 12:34 |
| frandavid100 | she's computer illiterate | 12:34 |
| coldsteal | xfce4-session --version | sed '1 s:.*(\(.*\)).*:\1:; q' | 12:34 |

| hyper_ch | kpel: upgrade from herd5-->beta-->stable | 01:26 |
| kpel | hyper_ch: ok, probably you can help then. does the ca-certificates package work for you? can you install it without problems? | 01:27 |
| kpel | for some reason oo.org depends on it and after yesterday's upgrade to feisty openoffice won't install | 01:27 |
| hyper_ch | I don't even know what that is | 01:28 |
| kpel | i didn't know either but for some reason someone thought that you should have a lot of ssl certificates in order to write a letter to grandma | 01:28 |
| hyper_ch | if security is important then I use encryption or gpg-signing | 01:29 |
| kpel | indeed | 01:29 |
| kpel | for some reason they created that stupid dependency on certificates. a nice single point of failure for the installation of the whole openoffice suite | 01:30 |
| kpel | oh well, will probably have to reinstall edgy | 01:30 |
| kpel | thanks anyway | 01:30 |
| hyper_ch | kpel: why not clean install of feisty? | 01:30 |
| hyper_ch | do you have /home on a seperate partition? | 01:31 |
| kpel | yes. the thing is that i don't want to reconfigure everything. even if i take a backup of /etc i will have to copy conf files by hand | 01:31 |
| kpel | it will be a sort of merging | 01:31 |
| hyper_ch | kpel: what did you alter in /etc ? | 01:32 |
| kpel | i added a couple of udev rules, a couple of scripts for my wlan interface and i don't remember what else (that's the problem) :) | 01:32 |
| kpel | i will probaly go through the clean install though | 01:33 |
| grazie | hyper_ch: most of the system config is in /etc | 01:33 |
| kpel | but it's a shame that the upgrade from edgy doesn't work properly | 01:33 |
| hyper_ch | kpel: for some it does... for others not | 01:34 |
| kpel | that's the problem | 01:34 |

| ubotu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 05:20 |

| vrkhans | hyper_ch: no | 07:59 |

| ber1 | (super newb talk ensues) - i have ubuntu 7.4 running and its terribly slow. 6.10 was decent, but after upgrading, every task seems to shoot my RAM usage up to 100% (and i have 512mb). changing a tab in swiftfox will lock up my computer for a few seconds and freeze my music and whatnot - very annoying. henceforth, i'd like to install xubuntu on a separate partition. now, i know what i'm about to propose is possible, but i'm wondering how di | 08:52 |

| vidd_laptop | h3sp4wn, awesome...and the auto-load works too! | 09:04 |
| predaeus | ah it depends on the xmms-dev package in Xubuntu. now it works .... wheeee :-) | 09:05 |
| h3sp4wn | vidd_laptop: Its whatever that points to | 09:05 |
| h3sp4wn | (its a transitional) | 09:05 |
| Pumpernickel | Merchelo: Which module? | 09:09 |
| Merchelo | it's ok, Pumpernickel, ati removed support for 9200, and the old version doesn't work with xorg 7.2, i'm gonna do a reinstall. | 09:09 |
| h3sp4wn | No reason to use fglrx anyway with a 9200 | 09:10 |
| h3sp4wn | (Other than maybe tv-out is slightly easier to setup) | 09:10 |
| Pumpernickel | Merchelo: +1 to what h3sp4wn said. Per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver#head-839ea46a1da3bee0839b28a9595722a9cdf07797 the 9200 is fully supported. | 09:12 |

| test3r | hey im up & running from Xubuntu704Desktop. i got ~300MB of RAM, so it was able to go that low. I know people were questioning the "Reqs" of that. | 09:53 |
| test3r | Anywho- I installed the legacy drivers for my gForce2, then ran "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable" which changed the PCI setting to 0.5.0 which was supposed to be set at 1.0.0, and fudged the name to "Generic Video Card" instead of the nvidia name in there. | 09:53 |
| test3r | I have logo splash that comes up when X starts, but then when I run "glxinfo | grep rendering" I get the old "no monitor for 0.0" bit again. What do I need to change still? | 09:54 |
| agcrouton | hm | 09:55 |
| agcrouton | is gf2 supported? | 09:55 |
| test3r | through the nvidia-legacy drivers pak yes | 09:55 |
| test3r | the pak hasnt changes in years i think | 09:55 |
| test3r | btw - this all works fine on Xubuntu 606. no installer troubles except the expected. (you have to add in the lines "ignore display devices" "rendering extensions" etc) | 09:56 |

| agcrouton | hm | 09:58 |
| agcrouton | i got rid of all my older cards, so I can't help much on the direct testing route | 09:58 |
| test3r | yeah it totally should be seeing "generic monitor" there still | 09:58 |
| agcrouton | did you hand-edit the xorg.conf after running nvidia-glx-config? | 09:59 |
| test3r | maybe it's because the "nvidia-glx-config enable" util changed some bit to something bad- like it did with my PCI location of the card ITSELF? | 09:59 |
| test3r | someone should rly look into it prob- I wish I knew where to / what files to check on this box | 09:59 |
| agcrouton | compare the backup and the current xorg.conf files | 10:00 |
| agcrouton | you'll probably find the error or difference | 10:00 |
| test3r | well from fresh install of course the distro defaulted to "nv" for the driver, but yeah ill compare the other bits thats a good iea | 10:00 |

| boubbin | how to installati drivers ? | 10:02 |
| agcrouton | did you check the ubuntu wiki? | 10:02 |
| boubbin | i can follow those instructions for xubuntu 7.04 ? | 10:03 |
| boubbin | even when theyre to xubuntu. | 10:03 |
| boubbin | even when theyre to ubuntu. <- i mean | 10:03 |
| test3r | yes they work the same. run a search on the Ubuntu pages for your Hardware name you need driver for | 10:04 |
| test3r | agcrouton > the only difference is in the "Screen" section just below the "Device" and "Monitor" section, and it's because the "nv" driver supports different modes. that should not be effecting Direct Rendering being turned on or off. the additional modes supported are 720X400 and 1X1. | 10:06 |
| test3r | ive also tried commenting the "DRI" line up at the top on & off, somewhere I read to turn the DRI off. | 10:07 |
| coldsteal | how can i make a debian pkg that has all the dependencies | 10:08 |
| test3r | try "man make" | 10:09 |
| test3r | or search webcrawler - maketools | 10:09 |
| coldsteal | whats webcrawler | 10:09 |

| coldsteal | ok | 10:10 |
| test3r | doh. already been there. thx tho =) | 10:11 |
| test3r | woop! i was right in deciding i should re-read it anyway. | 10:13 |
| test3r | it says NOW we should use a RestrictedDrivers special install window thingee | 10:13 |
