| limbert65 | On that HOWTO: The instructions say it's for the 9500 Pro and up. Mine's a 9000. Still work? | 04:43 |
| Jester45 | check a list of supported cards | 04:44 |
| Jester45 | there is an opensource driver that has many working | 04:44 |
| Jester45 | just a sec i will look into it | 04:45 |
| Jester45 | ok run glxinfo |grep direct | 04:46 |
| limbert65 | Did that, and direct rendering is "no". | 04:46 |
| Jester45 | if it says yes then your ready | 04:46 |
| Jester45 | then your not | 04:46 |
| Jester45 | umm | 04:46 |
| limbert65 | I've been hunting around, and the stuff I've found that mentions this card specifically all looks a bit iffy. | 04:47 |

| Jester45 | ok | 04:50 |
| Jester45 | open up /etc/X11/xorg.conf and use pastebin to upload it | 04:50 |
| Jester45 | !pastebin | 04:50 |

| Jester45 | or | 04:51 |
| Jester45 | look in the file for a Section "Device" | 04:52 |
| Jester45 | and under that should be Driver "ati" | 04:52 |
| Jester45 | if its somthing else then change it to "ati" and restart the xserver | 04:53 |
| limbert65 | here's my xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21228/ | 04:54 |

| kikr_ | does xubuntu come with a compiler? | 07:13 |
| kikr_ | because i'm getting an error when trying to compile xchat | 07:13 |
| hitmanWilly | kikr_: you need to install the build-essential pkg | 07:13 |
| kikr_ | how would I do that? | 07:14 |
| hitmanWilly | kikr_: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 07:14 |
| hitmanWilly | for some (stupid) reason, ubuntu doesn't come with gcc installed by default | 07:15 |
| crimsun | no, but it is on the CD. | 07:15 |
| kikr_ | is apt-get like ports for freebsd .... and like emerge for gentoo? | 07:15 |
| hitmanWilly | yup, well sort of | 07:15 |
| kikr_ | so then I could just sudo apt-get install xchat | 07:16 |
| Pumpernickel | It's more like packages. | 07:16 |

| grazie | gparted use to use up to edgy on the install cd, but is not installed on the hard drive. Feisty using uses another app (I can't recall the name). I'd recommend installing gparted | 12:14 |
| grazie | !info gparted | 12:14 |
| ubotu | gparted: GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.2.5-2ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 316 kB, installed size 1588 kB | 12:14 |
| hyper_ch | Mirellie: was jut away | 12:14 |
| grazie | hi hyper_ch | 12:14 |
| hyper_ch | hiho grazie | 12:14 |
| hyper_ch | Mirellie: just install gparted... what do you want to partition? | 12:14 |
| Mirellie | thanks a lot :) | 12:14 |
| Mirellie | i need to separate form my ext3 70GB partition a fat32 10GB partition | 12:15 |
| hyper_ch | Mirellie: hmmm.... then it's better to download the gparted live disk | 12:17 |
| hyper_ch | sorry... misread it :) | 12:18 |
| hyper_ch | well, you can't alter a partition that's mounted... so you'll have to unmount it first | 12:18 |
| grazie | Mirellie: if 70G partition is the xubuntu installation you'll need a livecd (xubuntu or as hyper_ch says the gparted livecd which is better) | 12:20 |
| Mirellie | i have 3 partitions, 1. linux, 2.swap 3.data, i need to separate 10gb from 3rd one | 12:21 |
| hyper_ch | Mirellie: "data"? how is that mounted? | 12:21 |
| Mirellie | /home | 12:21 |
| hyper_ch | Mirellie: then you need a livecd... xubuntu or gparted or something | 12:21 |
| hyper_ch | Mirellie: well, you could do it without liveCD it'll just involve a few more thing :) | 12:22 |
| Mirellie | hmm, i prefer doing it without livecd, its really slow :/ | 12:22 |
| Mirellie | and this computer is old, thata why i installed xubuntu | 12:23 |
| hyper_ch | Mirellie: gparted live-CD is not loading a whole OS :) | 12:23 |
| Mirellie | oh i see, im using a xubuntu first time | 12:24 |
| Mirellie | so i just use live cd | 12:24 |
| Mirellie | thanks a lot for help | 12:24 |
| hyper_ch | Mirellie: you are on the live-cd? | 12:24 |
| hyper_ch | Mirellie: well, without live-cd it would be (1() | 12:24 |
| Mirellie | nope, i started xubuntu from hd | 12:24 |
| hyper_ch | (1) edit /etc/fstab and uncomment that your partition will be mounted into /home | 12:25 |
| hyper_ch | (2) reboot the system | 12:25 |
| hyper_ch | (3) partition the partition to your liking | 12:25 |
| hyper_ch | (4) have the altered partition mounted again in /home by editing your /fstab | 12:25 |
| hyper_ch | btw, can you open a command line terminal and execute the following command and paste it in a pastebin? | 12:26 |
| hyper_ch | !pastebin | Mirellie | 12:26 |
| ubotu | Mirellie: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 12:26 |
| hyper_ch | Mirellie: cat /etc/fstab | 12:26 |
| Mirellie | !pastebin | Mirellie | 12:27 |
| hyper_ch | Mirellie: just pastebin the output of cat /etc/fstab | 12:28 |
| hyper_ch | Mirellie: and then post the pastebin url here so that I can have a look at it | 12:28 |

| deniz_ogut | Hi dear friends. I have some problems with the "run an application" tool, obtained by pressing Alt+F2. I can't run some terminal commands/programs via it although I check "run in terminal" box. One example is w3m, a terminal based Web browser. It comes with xubuntu as default. I can run it by opening a terminal and entering w3m command there but not neither from "run an application" tool nor from a quick launch button set to open it with in a terminal. | 12:39 |
| hyper_ch | Mirellie: you see this line: UUID=7f34d7a1-65ff-4732-b62d-f86271a695e9 /home ext3 defaults ? this one needs to be uncommented | 12:42 |
| hyper_ch | Mirellie: in the terminal enter: sudo nano /etc/fstab | 12:42 |
| hyper_ch | and then you put a # in front of that line | 12:42 |
| hyper_ch | after that, press ctrl-x for quitting nano and you will then be asked to save to modified file | 12:43 |

| TheSheep | hyper_ch: real wikis doesn't have such thing as 'subscribing', besides the spam bots create fake user accounts without problems | 03:46 |
| hyper_ch | oh well, you can setup captchas or some other verification thingy | 03:47 |
| TheSheep | hyper_ch: locks and fences | 03:47 |
| TheSheep | hyper_ch: this is much more easily solved on the level of your proxy | 03:47 |
| hyper_ch | or some sort of moderation... like the first 10 edits need to be approved and then they can write what they want | 03:47 |
| hyper_ch | TheSheep: well, proxies are also for anonymity... a thing that gets more and more put away on the net | 03:48 |

| jthomas | good day! My 'safely remove' function mentions that I can change it to 'sync && umount' Why is this not default? | 03:54 |
| hyper_ch | jthomas: ??? | 03:54 |
| hyper_ch | jthomas: if I had a clue what you are refering to I might be able to help | 03:55 |
| jthomas | hyper_ch: thanks! ok i plug in a flash drive to my Xubuntu and i can 'safely remove' it (umount it). But i can also edit this command/button and it says 'some users may want to change it to 'sync && umount' (which should sync the data before umount it). Why is this not the default behavior, is there a problem with syncing first?? | 03:56 |
| hyper_ch | jthomas: when umounting it should be synced first (I tend to think) | 03:57 |
| TheSheep | um... I think that you always get the buffers synchronized before unmounting -- it's a part of the unmounting process... | 03:57 |
| hyper_ch | that's what I meant to say :) | 03:58 |
| jthomas | thats what i was hoping, but why would it suggest changing it? | 03:58 |
| TheSheep | jthomas: maybe the 'sync' it mentions is not just writing the buffers to the disk, but synchronising the content of some directories? (just guessing, depends on the application you use...) | 03:58 |
| TheSheep | jthomas: where do you have that option? | 03:59 |
| jthomas | not on Xubuntu now (at work with Kubuntu) so i cannot say for sure... maybe plugging in a USB and then right click, somewhere in there? | 04:00 |
| TheSheep | jthomas: I don't have such an option :/ | 04:02 |
| jthomas | hmmm.. ok maybe in the 'control panel' thing? sorry i really am not sure... | 04:03 |
| TheSheep | jthomas: control panel? | 04:04 |

| kent | use opera? | 09:44 |
| TheSheep | kent: use less tabs | 09:44 |
| kent | ok | 09:44 |

| IndyGunFreak | Pumpernickel: how do i change the default icon(like for a USB hard drive), with Xfce/Xubuntu 7.04 | 12:20 |
| q-t | just to double check, I got some advice to 'update-rc.d -f gdm remove' to make xubuntu not start into X before I type startx on boot up. This is correct? It wont go back to booting directly into X the next time or something? | 12:21 |
| Pumpernickel | Nah, that would work. | 12:21 |
| maxamillion | q-t: yeah, that sounds about right | 12:21 |
| q-t | kool, having alot of trouble with my graph card, and last time i tried to make it work, the whole thing wouldnt start again, but this time i want to make it so i choose to start x | 12:22 |
| maxamillion | q-t: fair enough | 12:23 |
| q-t | hehe | 12:23 |
| q-t | Anyone here know much about vertical sync on graph cards? How do you know what to pick when you configure it manually? | 12:25 |
