| pirate-king | Im running xubuntu got 2 drives in th pc how do access the other drive | 03:26 |
| vidd_laptop | pirate-king, what is on the other drive? | 03:27 |
| pirate-king | nothing | 03:28 |
| pirate-king | want it for hard drive space | 03:28 |
| bordy240 | nobody happens to be using a thinkpad 600? | 03:28 |
| pirate-king | one is ice where the files for the pc are | 03:28 |
| pirate-king | one is ide where the files for the pc are | 03:29 |
| bordy240 | or happen to know where I can find a suitable xorg.conf file for my thinkpad so it stops flickering on me? | 03:29 |
| j1mc | bordy240: when does it flicker? | 03:29 |
| bordy240 | anytime x is running | 03:29 |
| bordy240 | and I am crap with xorg files | 03:29 |
| vidd_laptop | pirate-king, was the drive there when you installed? or is it newly added? | 03:30 |
| odat | lost the entire desktop after restart and it keeps freezing | 03:30 |
| vidd_laptop | pirate-king, try this: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch27_:_Expanding_Disk_Capacity | 03:30 |
| pirate-king | was ther | 03:30 |
| pirate-king | ok | 03:31 |
| pirate-king | was there when installed | 03:31 |
| j1mc | bordy240: it doesn't flicker when x isn't running? | 03:32 |
| bordy240 | well, not in console mode no | 03:32 |
| bordy240 | for example, I can run puppy linux from the CD like intended, and it wont flicker for some reason... but if I run it installed, it does. very strange. | 03:33 |
| j1mc | hm. weird. can you put your xorg.conf file up in pastebin? (see the topic of the channel for info on pastebin) | 03:33 |

| keb | odat: rm -rf directoryname | 03:36 |
| j1mc | odat: very carefully :) | 03:36 |
| j1mc | bordy240: can you also do the same after entering "lspci" and "lsmod" into the command line? | 03:37 |
| maxamillion | odat: use that command as though it were a gun, be very sure you want to pull the trigger | 03:37 |
| j1mc | odat: keb is right, though... that's the command. | 03:37 |

| keb | hmm libpci2 is listed in sympatic as obsolete but lots of packages depend on it (e.g. gdm, hal, ivman, gnome-mount, thunar, xfce4-session) | 03:42 |

| === bigfuzzyjesus [n=paul@12.206.21.219] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| maxamillion | BFTD: the drive might be busy, you might have to kill the process holding onto the drive | 03:44 |
| BFTD | maxamillion but I don't, then I'd have to kill the installation | 03:44 |
| BFTD | I just need to switch disk's | 03:44 |
| maxamillion | BFTD: i could be wrong though ... the command keb gave you should work, if not then try unmounting it first | 03:44 |
| maxamillion | BFTD: ahhh ok | 03:45 |
| j1mc | bordy240: try setting the default color depth to 16 | 03:45 |
| keb | yeah it wont eject or unmount if root (wine) has got ahold of it | 03:45 |
| j1mc | to do that, first, backup your xorg.conf file | 03:45 |
| j1mc | do you know where that is located? | 03:45 |
| bordy240 | yep | 03:45 |

| j1mc | what are you doing, maxamillion ? | 03:47 |
| maxamillion | j1mc: installing gentoo on my laptop | 03:48 |

| ubotu | bordy240: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly. | 03:48 |
| bordy240 | apologize, maxamillion... so excited! | 03:48 |
| j1mc | bordy240: did it work? changing the default dept? | 03:48 |
| maxamillion | bordy240: no worries, just some people are easily offended and we attempt to appeal to everyone :) | 03:49 |
| bordy240 | maxamillion: oh no, I understand. I am running into moderation issues w/i my loco right now... gotta keep everyone at peace | 03:49 |
| bordy240 | j1mc yes it did! such a simple fix too... | 03:49 |
| j1mc | bordy240: it sounds like X works now. was it because you changed the default depth? | 03:49 |
| j1mc | oh, cool. | 03:50 |
| odat | lost the entire desktop after restart and it keeps freezing | 03:50 |
| bordy240 | j1mc: right now i am running vectorlinux (keep trying new distros hoping one would work)... but if I were to go back to xubuntu, would this xorg.conf file work there too? | 03:50 |
| j1mc | a friend on a thinkpad t20 had an xserver issue, and after researching it, that helped, so... | 03:50 |
| bordy240 | that did it... looks beautiful now, clean, the text isnt choppy and there is no flicker | 03:50 |
| j1mc | bordy240: not sure. you would use the neomagic driver, though, and the default depth would be set to 16. | 03:51 |

| TheSheep | bordy240: once the system is up, you just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:47 |

| grazie | peepsalot: dunno...but as desktop icons were only recently added by the xfce team due to popular demand it's probably not supported | 06:56 |
| grazie | bordy240: as TheSheep says, to do it as boot hit 'esc' and then hit 'e' | 06:57 |
| peepsalot | hmm, i wonder if a script could be written to arrange icons. does anyone know where the icon placement data might be stored? | 06:58 |
| grazie | bordy240: to make the change permanent edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 06:58 |

| TheSheep | hyper_ch: why? | 07:14 |
| hyper_ch | TheSheep: because I don't want to have it auto-indexed | 07:14 |
| grazie | bordy240: you add those parameters to the line starting kernel (if there's more than 1, then to every kernel line tHat needs it) | 07:15 |
| bordy240 | youch. | 07:16 |
| bordy240 | I am so happy I finally got xubuntu working right.... 3 weeks of distro swapping, all because of th esame issues... and all I had to do was change depth from 24 to 16. lol | 07:16 |
| hyper_ch | bordy240: why do you need to change the color depth? | 07:17 |
| grazie | bordy240: you'll need to reboot of course once edited. Play with the 'esc' option another time maybe | 07:18 |
| bordy240 | hyper_ch: no idea... before I did it all the text was choppy and the screen had a wicked (but mild) flicker. | 07:18 |
| bordy240 | now its perfect. | 07:18 |
| bordy240 | grazie: do I add it just like pnpbios=off acpi=off ? | 07:19 |
| grazie | bordy240: if you been told the following will fix your problem then add "pnpbios=off acpi=off" to the line(s) starting with "kernel" | 07:20 |
