| xprimarysuspectx | alright thesheep. just edited my menu.lst file to hd0, 4 as per your instructions. but it says invalid device selected, so that leads me to believe hd0, 4 is the incorrect device? | 12:29 |
| xprimarysuspectx | !ask | 12:30 |
| ubotu | Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 12:30 |
| xprimarysuspectx | lol | 12:30 |
| TheSheep | weird | 12:30 |
| xprimarysuspectx | i thought so. hda5 should be hd0, 4..unless im a retard and i put hdo..hmm | 12:31 |
| xprimarysuspectx | let me check lol | 12:31 |
| TheSheep | xprimarysuspectx: can you pastebin the result of 'sudo fdisk -l' ? | 12:31 |

| TheSheep | xprimarysuspectx: it should be exactly (hd0,4) | 12:32 |
| TheSheep | xprimarysuspectx: um... since when can windows boot from an extended partition? | 12:33 |
| xprimarysuspectx | it works fine fo' me | 12:33 |
| xprimarysuspectx | i have two physical drives, and a few partitions | 12:34 |
| TheSheep | I always had to put winows on one of the primary partitions to make it work | 12:34 |
| xprimarysuspectx | that should be a primary partition if i remember correctly | 12:34 |

| xprimarysuspectx | chainloader +1 | 12:35 |
| TheSheep | hda5 is not a primary partition | 12:35 |
| xprimarysuspectx | er probabyl should have pastbinned that | 12:35 |
| jexd | does xubuntu have a preinstalled .pdf reader or do i need to install one? | 12:35 |
| TheSheep | jexd: it has one, evince, it's in menu as 'document viewer' | 12:35 |
| TheSheep | xprimarysuspectx: are you sure that's the "system" partition of your windows? | 12:36 |
| jexd | TheSheep, thank you :) | 12:36 |
| TheSheep | xprimarysuspectx: maybe try (hd1,0) or something? | 12:37 |
| xprimarysuspectx | yeah. media/hda5 is where windows is installed | 12:37 |
| xprimarysuspectx | rather, dev/hda5 | 12:37 |
| TheSheep | xprimarysuspectx: you didn't move it or anything when installing linux? | 12:38 |
| xprimarysuspectx | no. not that im aware of | 12:38 |
| TheSheep | xprimarysuspectx: it would ask for confirmation at least 3 times ;) | 12:38 |
| xprimarysuspectx | i just set the already established ext3 partition i had to root, made a swap partition out of another established partition, and installed it | 12:39 |
| xprimarysuspectx | neither partition had windows on it | 12:39 |
| xprimarysuspectx | yeah, it probably does try to avoid that mistake im sure lol | 12:39 |
| TheSheep | xprimarysuspectx: ok, I think there is a trick to boot windows from a non-primary partition | 12:39 |
| xprimarysuspectx | so change it hd1, 0 and see if that work? | 12:40 |
| xprimarysuspectx | ...works | 12:40 |
| xprimarysuspectx | hd1, would be the second physical disk, and the first partition though would it... | 12:40 |
| TheSheep | xprimarysuspectx: http://jarpack.net/grub-with-linux-primary-and-windows-secondary | 12:40 |
| TheSheep | xprimarysuspectx: ah, you just need 'rootnoverify' instead of ;root' | 12:42 |
| TheSheep | xprimarysuspectx: it seems | 12:42 |
| TheSheep | xprimarysuspectx: to prevent grub from displaying that error message | 12:42 |
| TheSheep | ignore the map commands | 12:42 |
| xprimarysuspectx | so leave hd0, 4 but change root to rootverify | 12:42 |
| xprimarysuspectx | leave makeactive, and chainloader +1 as well | 12:43 |
| TheSheep | http://club.mandriva.com/xwiki/bin/view/KB/InstallIboot2#HOtherOperatingSystems | 12:43 |
| TheSheep | here is another one | 12:43 |
| xprimarysuspectx | alright then. so, sorry to drag this out. rootverify (hd0,4) makeactive chainloader +1 | 12:44 |
| TheSheep | xprimarysuspectx: yes | 12:44 |
| TheSheep | rootnoverify | 12:44 |
| TheSheep | sorry | 12:44 |
| xprimarysuspectx | ah. yeah i just noticed that lol. np | 12:44 |
| xprimarysuspectx | ill give it a shot. thanks | 12:45 |

| illu45 | white-on-black* | 04:46 |
| ToHellWithGA | Jester45: why do you use xfce if you have a beastly computer? | 04:46 |
| ToHellWithGA | do you just prefer the interface? | 04:46 |
| Jester45 | i like xfce | 04:46 |
| Jester45 | yes | 04:46 |
| ToHellWithGA | s/interface/styling/ | 04:46 |
| Jester45 | i run xubuntu on 6 computers | 04:46 |
| ToHellWithGA | my computer isn't awesomely new, but i like xfce for the quick startup | 04:46 |
| illu45 | ToHellWithGA, how do the slashes work, anyhow? | 04:46 |
| ToHellWithGA | gnome takes a little longer between the x server starting and it being usable | 04:47 |
| ToHellWithGA | illu45: it's a regular expression | 04:47 |
| Jester45 | s meaning spelling error /oldword/newword | 04:47 |
| ToHellWithGA | s/X/Y/ switches the first encountered instance of X for Y | 04:47 |
| ToHellWithGA | s/X/Y/g switches all X for Y | 04:47 |
| honkytonkwillie | Weird. Ctrl-Alt-F1 brought me to a terminal screen, | 04:47 |
| ToHellWithGA | it's syntax used in a lot of programming languages | 04:47 |
| honkytonkwillie | but it didn't seem to recognize many commands. | 04:47 |
| Jester45 | honkytonkwillie: its supposed to do that | 04:47 |
| ToHellWithGA | if you google "regular expression" you should see some explanation | 04:48 |
| Jester45 | honkytonkwillie: you have F1-F6 of those | 04:48 |
| illu45 | ah, ok | 04:48 |
| honkytonkwillie | I randomly hit Ctrl-Alt-Fx keys until it X came back... | 04:48 |
| Jester45 | yea its F7 | 04:48 |
| illu45 | ToHellWithGA, never seen that before... | 04:48 |
| Jester45 | you can use xterm to have a gui terminal | 04:48 |
| Jester45 | illu45: you see it often in irc | 04:48 |
| Jester45 | in games you see word* | 04:49 |
| ToHellWithGA | you see it more often with sed | 04:49 |
| ToHellWithGA | as an example, sed -i "s/lol/your mom/g" ~/log.txt, would replace all instances of "lol" with "your mom" in that file | 04:50 |
| ToHellWithGA | s///g is handy for doing search/replace in files from the terminal | 04:50 |
| illu45 | I always use word* | 04:51 |
| ToHellWithGA | s/// is more specific | 04:52 |
| illu45 | true | 04:53 |
| honkytonkwillie | More weirdness - the XFCE "Applications" button on the top panel isn't working. | 04:54 |
| honkytonkwillie | Menu drop downs work, but apps don't launch. | 04:54 |
| illu45 | hm... | 04:54 |
| honkytonkwillie | Reboot time... | 04:58 |

| Merchelo | why not | 05:16 |
| Jester45 | im banned 3 times :) | 05:19 |
| ToHellWithGA | i don't mind getting banned when i @lart 28 hobbsee | 05:19 |
| ToHellWithGA | but for somebody being uptight for the sake of uptightness, that's not cool | 05:19 |
| Jester45 | i got banned because somerville32 hates me | 05:20 |

| Jester45 | a word from my experience, dont change ati radeon 9250's memory clock from 270mhz to 300 its not pretty | 05:21 |

| ToHellWithGA | Jester45: what's up with your connection? | 05:34 |
| Dekkard | are there any gtk bugs in feisty Xubuntu? | 05:34 |
| Jester45 | nothin | 05:35 |
| ToHellWithGA | i'm on centurtytel and i get dropped a lot too | 05:35 |
| ToHellWithGA | i was wondering if maybe our network is bad | 05:35 |
| Jester45 | im restarting X | 05:35 |
| Dekkard | ahhh | 05:35 |
| Jester45 | so my gaim dies | 05:35 |
| ToHellWithGA | i'm not a big fan of gaim for irc | 05:35 |
| Jester45 | and gaim is auto started and it auto logins in here | 05:35 |
| ToHellWithGA | i haven't used it since like 1.5 or so | 05:36 |
| Jester45 | i use it for this channel but when im dccing i use xchat | 05:36 |
| ToHellWithGA | but it was pretty rough back then | 05:36 |
| Jester45 | ToHellWithGA: did you get a speed increase about a year about? | 05:36 |
| ToHellWithGA | i wouldn't know | 05:36 |
| ToHellWithGA | i just moved home to the 768/128 plan my parents have | 05:36 |
| Jester45 | yea ago* | 05:36 |
| ToHellWithGA | and if i ever hit 128 centurytel drops me | 05:37 |
| Jester45 | i had that but now i got about 1500/700 | 05:37 |
| ToHellWithGA | they release and renew my DHCP lease if i use the full bandwidth i pay for | 05:37 |
| ToHellWithGA | i find that very cheap of them | 05:37 |
| Jester45 | do you pay per mb? | 05:37 |
| ToHellWithGA | i'm on 1500/700 at work | 05:37 |
| ToHellWithGA | no, just per month | 05:37 |
| Jester45 | same as me | 05:38 |
| Jester45 | but i had you internet then one day it got faster | 05:38 |
| ToHellWithGA | but per month with "always on" in the ad suggests i should be able to push 128kbps up nonstop | 05:38 |
| Jester45 | im not gonna tell them | 05:38 |
| Merchelo | you guys are missing out | 05:38 |
| ToHellWithGA | rather than 128kbps for like 5 seconds then a dhcp reset | 05:38 |
| ToHellWithGA | Merchelo: i'm not chipping in on the bill. i don't miss anything :p | 05:38 |
| Jester45 | well i use my neighbors wireless also | 05:39 |
| Merchelo | 2.5 gb/s down, 1.5gb/s up in regional france for 30 euro ($20) | 05:39 |
| Jester45 | whats regional france me | 05:39 |
| Jester45 | mean* | 05:39 |
| Merchelo | as in the regional area of france, not in the major cities, like paris, lyon, marseille, auxerre | 05:40 |
| Jester45 | o like farms? | 05:40 |
| Jester45 | hehe farms get the best connection | 05:40 |
| Jester45 | are you sure its not 2.5mb/s | 05:41 |
| Merchelo | nope, i was there using it for a while | 05:41 |
| Merchelo | canal+ do an IPTV service | 05:41 |
| Jester45 | concidering your gigbit ethernet couldnt use 1/2 of it | 05:41 |
| ToHellWithGA | Merchelo: gb/s? | 05:41 |
| Merchelo | yes | 05:41 |
| ToHellWithGA | that seems ridiculous | 05:41 |
| ToHellWithGA | that's faster than my LAN | 05:41 |
| Jester45 | its faster than most lans | 05:42 |
| Jester45 | most lans are mainly 100mbit | 05:42 |
| Jester45 | with servers might be on gigabit | 05:42 |
| ToHellWithGA | those rates seem impractical | 05:43 |
| ToHellWithGA | how is the latency? | 05:43 |
| ToHellWithGA | if you still have 50-100ms pings the rate won't really do much for real-time stuff | 05:44 |
| Jester45 | what kinda wire was it | 05:44 |
| ToHellWithGA | it had to be kosher wire | 05:44 |
| Jester45 | you couldnt top that out much | 05:44 |
| ToHellWithGA | something extra special in [diety of choice] 's eyes | 05:44 |
| Jester45 | what was the isp? | 05:45 |
| ToHellWithGA | i can't think of a lot of servers that could send stuff to you that quickly | 05:45 |
| ToHellWithGA | i bet youtube is nice on a connection like that | 05:45 |
| Jester45 | youtube buttslow | 05:45 |
| Jester45 | they got like 100mbit pipe to share with 300k people | 05:46 |
| ToHellWithGA | i didn't realize it was slow on their ened | 05:46 |
| ToHellWithGA | s/ened/end/ | 05:46 |
| ToHellWithGA | i always assumed it was my weaksauce connection | 05:46 |
| Jester45 | no they arent that fast | 05:46 |
| ToHellWithGA | i bet they have some cool QoS and load balancing stuff | 05:47 |
| Merchelo | france telecom is the ISP | 05:47 |
| Jester45 | they stream the vidoe in real time but if they had fast connection for all then when you start streaming i would finish very quickly | 05:47 |
| ToHellWithGA | Merchelo: is that a government-operated company? | 05:48 |
| Merchelo | nope, now under the control of orange communications | 05:48 |
| ToHellWithGA | the network between universities in the US is pretty nice. i dunno if it is owned by the government or individuals | 05:48 |
| Merchelo | most uni-uni network are government run | 05:49 |
| Jester45 | im sure if they gave out 2.5gb isps would relocate there | 05:49 |
| Jester45 | they have internetv2 | 05:49 |
| Jester45 | its mega fast like over 200gb/s | 05:49 |
| Jester45 | but its only from uni-uni not uni-internet | 05:50 |
| ToHellWithGA | that's cool | 05:50 |
| Jester45 | but uni-internet is fast | 05:50 |
| ToHellWithGA | i have no scale lol | 05:50 |
| ToHellWithGA | with 768k/128k here everything seems just fast enough | 05:50 |
| ToHellWithGA | nothing seems really fast | 05:50 |
| ToHellWithGA | it's all just not slow | 05:50 |
| Jester45 | i could use more | 05:50 |
| Jester45 | but... i dont want to upragade over the next step | 05:51 |
| Jester45 | if i upgrade from what im paying for i get what i have now | 05:51 |
| Jester45 | so untill im older and can get a job im gonna stay with this | 05:51 |
| ToHellWithGA | that's kinda funny, your lucky upgrade | 05:51 |
| Jester45 | i know | 05:52 |
| ToHellWithGA | you aren't old enough to get a job? | 05:52 |
| Jester45 | i was like.. OMG get the movies before they find it | 05:52 |
| ToHellWithGA | i think the workin' age is 15 in missouri | 05:52 |
| Jester45 | 15 i could... but im gonna wait till 16 | 05:52 |
| ToHellWithGA | that's not an age problem | 05:52 |
| ToHellWithGA | that's a lazy problem :p | 05:52 |
| ToHellWithGA | you might as well work and save now | 05:53 |
| ToHellWithGA | saving money is so much cooler than having new toys | 05:53 |
| Jester45 | im good | 05:53 |
| ToHellWithGA | when you actually need money, the savings are so nice to have | 05:53 |
| Jester45 | my parents are paying for my stuff | 05:53 |
| ToHellWithGA | after a few domestic catastrophies you'll appreciate liquid assets more than toys | 05:54 |
| Jester45 | and i have to keep my grades up | 05:54 |
| ToHellWithGA | homes suck with their faulty parts | 05:54 |
| ToHellWithGA | appliances that can die any time at random | 05:54 |
| Jester45 | computers... | 05:54 |
| ToHellWithGA | and plumbing that has to withstand significant water pressure and temperature changes | 05:54 |
| ToHellWithGA | it'd be much cheaper to live in a tent | 05:55 |
| Jester45 | parents... | 05:55 |
| ToHellWithGA | drink rainwater, use outhouses, use coolers/ice boxes | 05:55 |

| posingaspopular | umm no | 11:04 |
| GeoregeAScott | hi | 11:04 |
| posingaspopular | because a source.list handles repositories for software | 11:05 |
| posingaspopular | and all the buntus have diff. software | 11:05 |
| posingaspopular | !welcome | GeoregeAScott | 11:05 |
| ubotu | GeoregeAScott: Hello and welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions or help others. If you'd like to chit-chat, please visit #xubuntu-offtopic and for developer discussion, see #xubuntu-devel :) | 11:05 |
| GeoregeAScott | anybody point me to a good howto for alsa configuring?? i've got an old laptop with es1869 chip can't get it to work | 11:05 |
| posingaspopular | !alsa | 11:06 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 11:06 |
| GeoregeAScott | posingaspopular, what if there is no device to select from in the volume control? | 11:07 |
| Myrtti | posingaspopular: actually they do use the same sources.list as far as I can tell | 11:08 |
| posingaspopular | hmmm | 11:08 |
| posingaspopular | Myrtti: where does the difference in desktop manager and bundles software come in than? | 11:08 |
| Myrtti | the only difference being that instead of ubuntu-desktop kubuntu has kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu has xubuntu-desktop installed | 11:08 |
| Myrtti | those -desktop packages are only metapackages that are dependant on gnome, kde or xfce4 software | 11:09 |
| Myrtti | you can perfectly well install xubuntu on kde alternative disk with doing first server install and then installing xubuntu-desktop | 11:10 |
| Myrtti | or gnome on xubuntu alt | 11:10 |
| posingaspopular | Myrtti: here's an arbitrary question. why is it known as xfce4? and the others are just gnome and kde? kde4 is on the way out, but why dont we use kde3? | 11:10 |
| Myrtti | I've got no clue | 11:11 |
| posingaspopular | i said it was arbitrary | 11:11 |

| orasis | Edgy for me anyways was bad... it was a lot slower than the dapper release, sure the dapper release had some annoying bugs like menus disappearing but.. edgy was like one giant lag fest - X would be slow as molasses | 12:37 |
| posingaspopular | i forget, but 6.10 was edgy? or dapper? 6.10 anything was terrible for me | 12:38 |
| posingaspopular | so i prefered 6.06 or 7.04 | 12:38 |
| posingaspopular | and i didn't touch anything before than | 12:38 |
| posingaspopular | in any of the *buntus | 12:38 |
| Mars^ | Hi guys, i came here yesterday because i had problem in configuring my wireless network | 12:39 |
| orasis | Yeah 6.10 was edgy | 12:39 |
| posingaspopular | Mars^: so you came to tell us about your sucess? | 12:39 |
| posingaspopular | orasis: yea 7.04 should be great | 12:39 |
| orasis | posingaspopular, Hoping for tips? :P | 12:39 |
| posingaspopular | it's been great for me | 12:39 |
| posingaspopular | except for that damn pci card | 12:39 |
| Mars^ | Fortunaetly i have managed to connect by cable today, but i still need to configure wireless | 12:39 |
| Mars^ | Could you tell me what schould i do? | 12:40 |
| orasis | I think the main reason Xubuntu edgy was bad, was that it came standard with a BETA xfce. | 12:40 |
| posingaspopular | Mars^: well how about telling me what you tried first? | 12:40 |
| orasis | If you install 6.10 - and click the help right after install, you will see that they actually put a BETA in a production release.. for some odd stupid reason. | 12:40 |
| === orasis sits back | ||
| orasis | Well ill let you guys discuss that I don't have wireless so I have no clue ;D | 12:41 |
| posingaspopular | wow that is pretty bad | 12:41 |
| Mars^ | I tried almost everything, but i had a problem. I couldn't compile madwifi and ndiswrapper, because of no internet connection | 12:41 |
| posingaspopular | orasis: i dont have wireless either | 12:41 |
| posingaspopular | Mars^: can't you grab that using cable? | 12:42 |
| posingaspopular | i might have to ndiswrapper for my d-link card myself | 12:42 |
| Mars^ | posingaspopular: I have connected it today | 12:42 |
| Mars^ | The thing is that I guess that Xubuntu recognised my wi fi card. It says that HAL works fine | 12:42 |
| posingaspopular | it recognizes in lspci | 12:43 |
| posingaspopular | ? | 12:43 |
| Mars^ | Put then when i type all stuff including static ip etc. It does not connect | 12:43 |
| posingaspopular | did you try network manager? | 12:43 |
| Mars^ | posingaspopular: yes | 12:43 |

| jexd | this is exciting | 09:50 |

| jexd | should i do something about the two separate swaps? | 09:50 |
| TheSheep | not necessarily, if you don't mind them | 09:51 |
| jexd | so thesheep, could i hypothetically create a new partition, transfer all the files i want to save there, and then reformat and install something new and just transfer all my files back? | 09:51 |
| TheSheep | jexd: but you don't have any free space for a new partition left? | 09:52 |
| jexd | no, i don't believe i do | 09:53 |
| jexd | but i could resize my current partition, and then do it, yes? | 09:53 |
| jexd | i don't actually plan on doing this... mostly because i have no idea how. i'm just wondering if its possible | 09:54 |
| TheSheep | jexd: you could just copy the files into your current partition, woithout resiszing it | 09:54 |
| jexd | Thesheep, thank you so much for your help. i'm transferring all my songs now to this partition (eventually going to resize this to be my main OS and then delete ubuntu)... and its gonna take a while to move all these songs. in the meantime, basketball calls. thanks man, later | 09:58 |

| odat | when is xfburn gonna get audio cd burning capabilities? | 11:20 |
| maxamillion | odat: xfburn fails at life, get graveman ;) | 11:22 |
| maxamillion | odat: or gnomebaker | 11:23 |
| odat | maxamillion, graveman is dead too | 11:23 |
| odat | maxamillion, I am looking for something that doesn't have gstreamer dependencies | 11:24 |
| odat | did anyone ever really look at birne?? | 11:24 |
| TheSheep | brasero, gnomebaker and k3b <-- the latter will not have gstreamer deps for sure ;) | 11:24 |
| odat | it would have been a great app for xubuntu | 11:24 |
| jexd | i realize this is xubuntu and probably not the best place to ask this, but i use gmusicbrowser because its the best music app (imo) for xfce. i just transferred all my songs from my ubuntu (which used rhythmbox) to xubuntu, and gmusicbrowser. i have like 500 songs now that all have Unknown as both the artist and title. Rhythmbox read them fine, though. whats up with that? | 11:25 |
| odat | hacburn would also be nice | 11:25 |
| odat | jexd, i use gmusicbrowser for everything..... how did you set it up? | 11:26 |
| maxamillion | odat: graveman is dead? | 11:26 |
| jexd | odat.. the itunes like interface? uhh.. other than that, default setup. | 11:27 |
| odat | jexd, i mean did you tell it where to find your music? etc etc | 11:27 |
| TheSheep | jexd: two ideas come to my mind: a) you don't have some id3tag library thet gmusicbrowser requires, or b) rhythmbox took the title and artist from the file name and gmusicbroser can't do that | 11:27 |
| jexd | is B just an idea, or is that true? i'll check out A and see if i can find anything that will help | 11:28 |
| TheSheep | jexd: both are only ideas, I never used gmusicbrowser | 11:29 |
| jexd | odat: i pointed it to my music directory, if thats what you mean. i'm playing the music through gmusicbrowser.. just a lot of songs have bad id3tags | 11:29 |
| odat | TheSheep, no where do i see that gmusicbrowser require the id3tag library | 11:31 |
