| largos | ( you *may* need to run updatedb first) | 12:31 |
| Ezep-notebook | update distro u mean? :p | 12:32 |

| largos | maxamillion: WOPR was/is a super computer that controls the US's nuclear arsenal in the movie Wargames. The premise is that a geek "hacks" into it by wardialing, and inadvertantly starts a war. | 12:49 |
| rdehler | this is the command i ran: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/disk /dev/sda | 12:49 |

| rdehler | ok installing now | 01:07 |
| DRF | I'm not sure exactly how to configure it from the live cd. Have to look in the forums/wiki. But if the problem is grub specific it might be a work around | 01:08 |
| rdehler | 0 results for "lilo" | 01:11 |
| DRF | rdehler, http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p4.html is the lilo home page and has some documents on how to install/configure. | 01:11 |
| DRF | lilo is in main i think, but might not be on the CD so will need an internet connection. | 01:12 |
| rdehler | yep | 01:13 |
| rdehler | installed, configuring now | 01:13 |
| DRF | ok. The site i posted a link too seems to document the process you'll need quite well in the installing from live cd section. | 01:16 |

| rdehler | my root partition has the boot flag (and only that flag) | 01:42 |
| rdehler | plus it's not that it tells me it can't find any bootable flags, it's that it locks up with a blinking cursor | 01:44 |
| DRF | I suggest either continuing asking for help here at another time or another ubuntu support channel or posting to the ubuntuforum or mailing list. Wish i could help but not an expert in grub/the kernel myself. | 01:45 |

| bordy | no, just one window. It just never moved after saying " nohup: appending output to `nohup.out' " | 06:47 |
| j1mc | bordy: what's your irc client? | 06:48 |
| bordy | well konversation right now (talking on the desktop, working on the lap) | 06:49 |
| bordy | I was on irssi before | 06:49 |
| j1mc | ok... just close the terminal window that had the 'nohup...' command in it. | 06:49 |
| j1mc | see what happens. | 06:49 |
| j1mc | "nohup" is supposed to allow the terminal window to close w/o affecting the program that it started. | 06:49 |
| bordy | nothing seems to happen. | 06:49 |
| j1mc | that's good. | 06:49 |
| j1mc | is nm-applet still up in your toolbar? | 06:50 |
| bordy | yep. and I am back online | 06:50 |
| j1mc | ok. that's good, right? | 06:50 |
| j1mc | are things "working"? | 06:50 |
| bordy | yep! | 06:50 |
| j1mc | neato burrito | 06:51 |
| bordy | will that identify if new networks are available? as in, if I bring it to work or school and plug in? | 06:52 |
| j1mc | yeah... it should. | 06:53 |
| bordy | sweet. I'll test that out tomorrow thne | 06:53 |
| bordy | Thanks (again) for the help. lol | 06:53 |
| j1mc | xubuntu's next release will either have that app (w/o the gnome libraries), or will have something similar. | 06:53 |
| bordy | sweet | 06:53 |

| Gerro | hyper_ch: setup a remote dial-in server | 09:58 |
| hyper_ch | and what do you want to do with it? | 09:58 |
| Gerro | hyper_ch: going to be staying over friends house and they just moved so hoping to still be able to dial into my linux box and check email etc | 09:59 |
| hyper_ch | Gerro: vnc, X11-forwarding, freenx, xlive cd | 09:59 |
| Gerro | hyper_ch: yes but they have no connection besides dial up | 10:00 |
| Gerro | and I don't feel like lugging my pc with me | 10:00 |
| hyper_ch | Gerro: ah I see... well, good luck :) | 10:00 |
| Gerro | hyper_ch: all guides I can find are for dial up connection sharing and using standard dial up with linux nothing about setting up a remote server for it | 10:01 |
| Gerro | lot of stuff about pppd :( | 10:02 |
| hyper_ch | Gerro: why do you want to dial-into your computer at home? if it is hooked up to the internet... and if the other one has dialed-up to the net... where's the problem | 10:02 |
| Gerro | hyper_ch: I dunno maybe I can dial in through my cellphone too if I ever fix my laptop, afraid to use it overheats so much. | 10:03 |
| Gerro | hyper_ch: you know anything about acpi someone said it might be configuration issue with it | 10:04 |
| hyper_ch | Gerro: if both computer are somehow online you can access the one at home... I really don't see why you want to dial-in to your homebox... | 10:04 |
| Gerro | wouldn't that be faster to do a direct dial in? | 10:05 |
| hyper_ch | Gerro: some bios (or hardware) has problems with acpi... a general solution is to disable it for booting up | 10:05 |
| hyper_ch | Gerro: I don't know if you'd notice much difference | 10:05 |
| Gerro | what is acpi used for? can I disable it? I have a dual core | 10:06 |
| hyper_ch | !acpi | 10:06 |
| maxamillion | Gerro: you on a laptop? | 10:06 |
| Gerro | and... nothing | 10:06 |
| Gerro | yes its a laptop | 10:06 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about acpi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | 10:06 |

| hyper_ch | Gerro: google for acpi and ubuntu :) | 10:06 |
| maxamillion | Gerro: ACPI is for power management, its essentialy for a laptop | 10:06 |
| maxamillion | essential* | 10:07 |
| Gerro | well it mentions during startup that acpi is doing something with IRQs | 10:07 |

| Gerro | acpi -t says 22.0 degrees C is that good? | 10:11 |
| maxamillion | Gerro: yeah | 10:12 |
| Gerro | and fans don't cut on until like what 60 degrees C? | 10:12 |
| maxamillion | Gerro: yeah, sounds about right | 10:12 |
| Gerro | isn't that melting point of something?... | 10:12 |
| maxamillion | Gerro: not sure, but not of your proc ... my old server ran at 62 degrees C under full load and i got 4 years of good data crunching out of that one | 10:13 |
| Gerro | I was playing a game on it for about an hour then got up and noticed my leg was like cooked alive | 10:14 |
| Gerro | so I tried sitting it on a desk or something and putting books under it and didn't work either desk was all melting | 10:15 |
| maxamillion | Gerro: huh | 10:15 |
| Gerro | I thought all the heating problems would be worked out of core duo 2 | 10:15 |
| maxamillion | Gerro: my core2duo laptop from work doesn't have heating problems | 10:15 |
| Gerro | but I don't want to run my fan 24/7 and let it die on me | 10:15 |
| Gerro | I never hear it working but I feel air flow from fan.. | 10:16 |
| Gerro | well I'll try toying with acpi, some said it might be gpu problem | 10:17 |
| Gerro | I use xgl on top of xorg maybe that is problem | 10:18 |
| maxamillion | its possinl;e | 10:18 |
| Gerro | maxamillion: thx for help | 10:18 |

| mlalkaka | xubuntu installed flawlessly my inspiron 8100 -- yay! but i have one problem: when i try to access one of the terminals (by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F{1-6}, i just get a blank screen. also, when xubuntu is starting up, i get a blank screen. is there a way to fix this? | 10:50 |
| hyper_ch | mlalkaka: isn't it just ALT-F2 | 10:51 |
| mlalkaka | hyper_ch, well once you're at a terminal, you can just press alt+f2, but in order to get to a terminal from X, you have to use ctrl as well. | 10:52 |
| maxamillion | mlalkaka: its ctrl+alt+f2 if you are in X | 10:54 |
| maxamillion | errr sorry | 10:54 |
| maxamillion | hyper_ch: * | 10:54 |
| maxamillion | anyhoo | 10:54 |
| maxamillion | mlalkaka: you by any chance running 64-bit? | 10:54 |
| hyper_ch | maxamillion: :) | 10:54 |
| mlalkaka | maxamillion, no i'm running 32-bit on a pentium 3 | 10:56 |
| maxamillion | mlalkaka: hmmm... ok, that's out then ... there was an old bug on amd64 and i was wondering if it for some reason popped back up | 10:57 |
| mlalkaka | maxamillion: oh | 10:57 |
| maxamillion | hmmm.... | 10:58 |
| maxamillion | mlalkaka: do "ctrl+alt+f1" and while there hit F2 and see if that does anything | 10:59 |
| maxamillion | mlalkaka: if not, come back and we will attempt to go from there | 10:59 |
| mlalkaka | maxamillion: ok i tried that, but it didn't have any effect. | 11:02 |
| maxamillion | hrmmm.... | 11:02 |
| mlalkaka | maxamillion: btw, the inspiron 8100 is a laptop, do i need special framebuffer drivers for laptop screens? | 11:03 |
| maxamillion | might have something to do with a framebuffer setting | 11:03 |
| maxamillion | mlalkaka: i don't think so, i run xubuntu on my dell latitude d820 from work without any issue, but its possible | 11:03 |

| DarkKill | Haha! VNC from Linux to Windows! I like it! | 11:10 |
| maxamillion | DarkKill: i hate to be rude, but why on earth would you want such a thing? | 11:10 |
| DarkKill | Saves alot of time | 11:10 |
| DarkKill | For me, atleast | 11:11 |
| maxamillion | ah, well as long as it makes your life easier :) | 11:11 |
| DarkKill | Alot of my friends use Windows, and I usually help them. | 11:11 |
| maxamillion | DarkKill: were you aware that you are able to do remote connect from linux to windows? | 11:11 |
| maxamillion | just interface to the windows built in remote desktop service via a linux program | 11:12 |
| DarkKill | That's what I said | 11:12 |
| maxamillion | right, but you are using VNC | 11:12 |
| DarkKill | Oh | 11:13 |
| DarkKill | Windows has that? | 11:13 |
| DarkKill | I'm on 2000, don't want to upgrade to XP/Vista. Baaad! | 11:13 |
| maxamillion | DarkKill: yeah, its in the control panel somewhere, the user just enables it and you install rdesktop and connect | 11:13 |
| maxamillion | !rdesktop | DarkKill | 11:14 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rdesktop - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | 11:14 |

| aroo | Anyone know why umounting an NFS share with "sudo umount -f" only returns "device or resource is busy", I have no applications open that are using the NFS share | 11:18 |
| maxamillion | aroo: the terminal you are trying to unmount it in .. you by any chance in a directory on the NFS mount? | 11:19 |
| aroo | No, and another thing is if I try to get to a directory on the NFS mount it just hangs there forever until I ctrl+c the cd command | 11:20 |
| maxamillion | aroo: no clue ... i've honestly never messed with NFS | 11:20 |
| maxamillion | i just find FTP to be easier for all my practical purposes | 11:21 |
| aroo | Yea it's just between my two computers in my room | 11:21 |
| maxamillion | aroo: is the one just a file server? | 11:21 |
| aroo | Yea one is just an NFS server and I mount it's /home partition on this computer | 11:22 |
| aroo | As much as it pains me I'm going to reboot | 11:23 |
