=== vidd never uses the live cd...
ReMixxerm, what exactly is alt-cd?02:00
viddoctoberdan, what is the directory path02:00
octoberdanReMixx: Non live-cd installer02:00
octoberdanReMixx: Always you to install in some ways that you wouldn't be able to with the live cd02:01
viddReMixx, it is an installer-only...MUCH easier to install with then the live cd02:01
ReMixxahh, isee that now on the xubuntu.org site02:01
ReMixxi'll try that02:01
octoberdanvidd: /usr/share/themes/Neutronium Gilouche02:01
viddReMixx, you have issues with that...i can help!02:01
viddoctoberdan, give me a sec....let me see where i have my themes02:02
ReMixxlol ok02:02
ReMixxit's gonna take like 18 hours to download... erm02:02
octoberdanvidd: I might have got it working, one moment...02:03
viddReMixx, can you connect to the internet via a wired network card? or do you use dial-up?02:03
ReMixxwired nic02:03
ReMixxdsl02:03
viddReMixx, then get the mini iso...and do a net install02:03
=== vidd has it on his personal website....
viddvidd.homelinux.net:8080/test02:04
ReMixxah thanks02:04
viddgot it?02:04
ReMixxfirefox doesn't know how to handle that protocol?02:04
ReMixxfirst time i've seen that02:04
ReMixxah i had an extra colon, my bad02:04
viddmy dsl blocks port 8002:05
viddverizon equals evil02:05
ReMixxhmmm i'm downloading the entire iso02:05
viddits small02:05
ReMixx594mb02:05
ReMixxnot so small i would say02:05
viddwhich iso did you grab?02:06
ReMixxxubuntu-7.04-alternate-i386.iso02:06
ReMixxwas the only xubuntu one on there02:06
vidddang....02:06
viddone minute...let me slap the mini iso back on there02:06
ReMixxoh ok02:07
ReMixxso i need to do a netinstall from the box i'm putting this on right?02:07
ReMixxi just bought a new nic for it (so old it never had one)02:07
viddthere...refresh02:08
viddit is called mini.iso02:08
ReMixxyup downloading02:08
ReMixxtake about 2min02:08
ReMixxso i should go ahead and put that nic in then eh?02:09
viddyeah02:09
ReMixxand pray it works lol02:09
viddhow new is it?02:09
ReMixxlike i just bought it today02:09
ReMixxbut the box is an old pentium 2 450mhz02:10
ReMixxno ethernet ports on it, been using usb wireless02:10
viddnic cards havent changed much in the last 3 years...should be fine02:10
ReMixxcool02:10
viddusb wireless....what chipset?02:10
ReMixxuh it's a netopia usb wireless adapter02:11
ReMixxdon't know a model number02:11
viddunder the live cd....what does lsusb say?02:11
viddand does it work with the live cd?02:11
ReMixxoh i didn't try it with live cd02:12
ReMixxthat was when i had xp installed on it02:12
ReMixx(yeah it ran xp)02:12
viddthe live cd will tell you if the usb wireless will work or not....well by default anyway....02:12
viddif the live cd will connect to the internet with your wireless usb without extra configuration, then that mini iso will too02:13
viddand you can hold off on installing that pci card (or just install it anyway)02:14
ReMixxi'm just gonna install it anyways02:14
ReMixxwireless is too finicky for a dedicated server02:14
=== vidd would recomend installing it prior to installing anyway so the default install will take care of it all for you, and you wont have to jump thru any hoops to install it after the install is complete
=== vidd loves his wireless (now that it works) on his laptop
ReMixxlol ok i'll do wirless firs tthen02:15
viddyour download complete already?02:16
ReMixxyup02:16
ReMixxi should go ahead and burn it right02:16

viddyep02:16
ReMixxlol02:16
ReMixxso put the live cd in to see if wireless works?02:17
viddsoon that box will be sitting in the NOC @ work, and i wont have to worry about port 80 blocking02:17
viddyep02:17
viddbut if your going to install the nic anyway, might just as well install it prior to using the net installer02:18
ReMixx....02:18
ReMixxput the nic in first?02:18
viddsee if the usb works....weather it does or not, install the nic02:18
ReMixxohhh02:19
ReMixxok02:19
ReMixxso installing nic now then02:19
viddyou just want to see if the usb works, cuzz you might want to use that net installer on another machine without a LAN nic02:21
ReMixxi see, where is the net installer installing from?02:22
viddit is installing from the apt repositories available online02:23

viddone sec....02:28
ReMixxhey vidd, i plugged in the wireless usb, but how do i see if it's working?02:30

vidddo you see "wireless"?02:37
ReMixxoh dhcp, my bad02:37
ReMixxi was doing static ip02:37
ReMixxthat's why02:37
=== vidd always uses static ips on his linux boxes...let that dhcp for the windows boxes
=== vidd has a dhcp range of 4
ReMixxlol02:38
ReMixxi don't know what to put for like gateway and stuff02:38
viddthe gateway is the ip of your network device....02:39
ReMixxoh02:39
ReMixxwell i'll just use dhcp for now02:39
viddie...iuf your router is @ ip[ 192.168.200.1, then THAT is yoiur gateway02:39
ReMixxoh ok02:39
=== vidd starts looking at the feasability of surgically reducing the size of his fingertips.....

ReMixxmy keyboard randomly stopped working02:42
viddif the "access point" says "invalid" then no....if it has a mac address[xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx]  then you have a yes02:42

ReMixxah02:52

ReMixxi need to find another ethernet cable before i go any further02:52

viddReMixx, yes it does02:59
ReMixxoh ok02:59
ReMixxman i hope they clean up the live cds...03:00
viddyou will have the option of using the entire drive, or moving your windows partion to the side and using the rest03:00
ReMixxthat's just ridiculous... especially for people who don't know computers well03:00
ReMixxthere's no windows on it03:00
ReMixxoh ok i'm at the partitioner now03:01
ReMixxi'll choose manual03:01

ReMixxbefore i was trying to do root in the 12gig and /home in the 3603:03
vidd12 gig and 36 gig?03:03
ReMixxyes.03:03
ReMixxit's old :)03:04
viddyou want to use guided on all of the 12 gig....03:04
viddafter it is done, you want to go back and do a manual.....03:04
ReMixxoh ok03:05
ReMixxhow would i go about doing the manual?03:05
ReMixxgparted?03:05
ReMixxor do i have to use the net-installer again03:05
viddbefore you write the changes...THAT wis when you go back....03:05
ReMixxcripes...03:06
ReMixxi thinki just told it to write03:06
viddyou want it to auto set up your first drive, then manually set up the second drive as /homne03:06
ReMixxhmmm03:06
ReMixxcan i do that later on?03:06
ReMixxoh i see a go back option03:06
viddyes....but it is rather complicated03:06
vidduse it03:06
ReMixxok back intot he partitioner03:06
viddwhat do you see/03:07
vidd?03:07
viddyou SHOULD see something like hdb >unpartiioned sp0ace03:07
ReMixxok i think i set it up correctly, let me read it off to you03:08
ReMixxIDE1 master - #1 primary 12.4Gig for ext3 '/', #5 logical 592.2MB swap03:08
ReMixxIDE2 slave (hdb) #1 primary ext3 /home03:09

ReMixxyeah03:09
ReMixxlooks about right03:09
viddyou have /, you have swap, you have /home03:09
ReMixxcorrect.03:09

ReMixxhow does that work03:13
viddthe alt cd is found on the same page as the live cd...you just have to scroll down to find it03:14
viddoh...it works much the same way03:14
viddit just has all the files you are now downloading on the disk itself03:15
ReMixxohhhh03:16
ReMixxlol03:16
ReMixxyeah i could find the alt cd03:16
viddthis method saves you the trouble of immediately having to run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to get the lastest and greatest of everything03:17
ReMixxahhh03:17
ReMixxi see03:17
ReMixxand it will let me choose xubuntu eventually?03:17
viddyou dont install already patched bugs03:17

ReMixxoh ok03:23
ReMixx34 and 48 were slow too03:23
ReMixxand those were unpacking stages03:23
viddmy rocket machine has 1gig of ram and that part still took a minute or 203:24
viddwell, it will always take longer to install the package then to download it on machines with ram deficiencies03:25
vidd=] 03:25
ReMixxhehe yup03:25
ReMixxi'm so glad the nic worked03:25
ReMixxit costed $15 and i had a $10 coupon03:25
ReMixxso i paid $4.99 for it03:26
viddas i said...wired nics havent changed all that much in the last 3 years, and most manufactures are making sure they work with linux03:26
ReMixxthe actual box said windows only03:26
ReMixxlike explicitly03:26
viddwireless is a totally different story.....03:26
ReMixxbut whatever, it works03:26
viddthe FCC in the US has laws about broadcast frequencies and such....03:27
ReMixxyeah you try to install a wireless usb card and your keyboard will die03:27
viddand open source will let ppl change what frequencies thier cards broadcast, so someone might try to take out a plane .....or some other such [explicative deleted] 03:28
ReMixxlol03:29
viddsome hard wire the frequencies....duhhhhh03:30
ReMixxso how do you know so much about linux vidd?03:30
viddmy motto is hack it till it hurt...i mean works!03:30
ReMixxlol03:30
viddjust from using it...paying attention here, and reading03:31

viddwhat do you need direct x for?03:36
ReMixxi can play some games with the 6800go in here03:36
ReMixxand trying to emulate it in linux would just kill performance too much03:37
ReMixxwith cedega or something03:37
vidddont emulate it...just use WINE03:37
ReMixxwell cedega is based on wine isn't it?03:38
viddbut really...what games do you play?03:38
viddit is...but wine is free03:38
ReMixxwell mostly source based (CS, mods) and oblivion03:38
ReMixxoh i wasn't aware that cedega wasn't free03:38

ReMixxbut yeah xp does everything i need it to do on this laptop03:39
=== vidd was wrong before....he was 6 at the time....but he WAS wrong
ReMixxhaha03:39
viddhow is your install coming along?03:40
ReMixxi just chose xubuntu03:40
ReMixxand it's about 85%03:40

ReMixxdo you know a good free utility for remote desktop on it?03:42
ReMixxbesides vnc...03:42
ReMixxyou have to pay to use vnc as far as i know03:42
viddtakes longer to make the alt-cd then to dl, make, run and install with the mini03:42
ReMixxwell if my university hosted the alt-cd like they do the live cd... i could download it in 3 minutes lol03:42
vidd] there is an open source vnc server and client for linux...its in the repos03:43
ReMixxcan i sudo apt-get vnc or something?03:44
viddits just a pay thing for windowsa03:44
ReMixxand does it include file transfer?03:44
viddsomething like that03:44
ReMixxwhich isn't necessary... but would be nice03:44
viddnot sure what it is that you are trying to do....03:44
=== vidd does not use vnc....he uses ssh
ReMixxi would use ssh, but i want to use some graphical programs on it03:45
ReMixxwhich is a bit complicated with ssh terminal :)03:45

ReMixxhmm the installation has been stuck at 90% for awhile now03:46
viddthen you set up a vnc server on the machine you want to remote into, and then use a vnc client on the machine you are connecting from03:46
ReMixxyeah that was the plan03:46
ReMixxjust would be nice if the free vnc had file transfer, i believe that is only part of the edition you have to pay for03:47
ReMixxbut i can ssh transfer files03:47

JJNovaAnd I'm much faster in Paintshop Pro than I am in GIMP, but that's just a matter of familiarizing myself with some software I haven't been using for years.07:34
Jester45or use adobe photoshop its fun and CS3 is kinda new07:34
JJNovaI've used Photoshop, but I have the same issues with it that I have with the GIMP.... I'm just not familiar with it's layout.07:35
Jester45i like photoshops over the gimp07:36
Jester45i think becuase the gimp has diffrent windows07:36
JJNovaBeen using Paintshop Pro for so long, it's similar to when a long time MS Windows user complains about Ubuntu complexity, when in actuality, things are just done slightly different. (Synaptic, Add/Remove, etc.)07:36
Jester45it gets con fusing07:36
JJNovaYeah, there's a version of GIMP that puts it all in a container and makes the layout mimic Photoshop07:37

JJNovaAlthough, this month xubuntu stopped recognizing 3 of them. :'(08:00
hyper_chJester45: it's only a 60gb drive08:00
Jester45and...08:00
spaceraverwhen installing i have chosen to use a seperate /boot and it's residing on the same hdd as i want to install xubuntu on.. partitions are as follows: sda is an Ide drive and has seperate /, /boot and /home partitions plus 2 gb swap08:01
spaceraverthat leaves sdb and sdc which are ntfs..08:02
spaceraverin the end of the installer i can click advanced and set where the boot loader should be.. but that says hd0 and not sda08:03
hyper_chhem... isn't it hdX and sdX in feisty? you say ide and sata are all sdX08:03
spaceraverthat what is listed as..08:03
Jester45the ide should be hdX08:03

JJNovaYes09:06
Jester45beryl here09:06
silent_Just built this rig a few months ago... C2D E6300 @ 2.8ghz, 2gb ocz, 8800 GTS09:06
=== JJNova is a "simple is good" guy, as you can see from http://gamecootie.com
Zvezdichkoberyl... i'd liek to try this one09:07
Zvezdichkoas for xfce I see it ( my first try ) as a gnome copy09:07
JJNovaI have an AMD Athlon XP 2ghz 2400+09:07
ZvezdichkoGTK+ based, that's ok, integration with gnome software...09:07
silent_and very soon I'll be installing base debian on it then adding packages, trying wms, see what I like09:07
CatrikIntel P4  1500 :)09:07
silent_the athlon xp series was amazing in its time09:08
Zvezdichkosilent_, I think KDE is the best... no concurence here09:08
silent_I'll be trying all of them, but I find KDE to be a bit too flashy for me09:08
JJNovaThis Athlon XP has served me very well so far.09:08
GrueTamersilent_: if you want to get down and dirty with wm's, try wmii, if you can try something different, you may like it09:08
GrueTamerbut i also recommend fluxbox and icewm09:08
silent_they're beautiful processors, i have 3 different machines with cpus from 1700+ - 2000+ xps running beautifully09:09
Zvezdichkohardcore linux fans still hate KDE because the QT libraries were not open source in the beginning09:09
GrueTamerand then xfce, and then gnome (the lighter the better for me)09:09
Zvezdichkoif you remember, Debian didn't include KDE for that reason09:09
silent_yea, i've been looking into it a bit09:09
Zvezdichkobut this was long ago... :)09:10
silent_I've used gnome before so I'll use it for now, just to get familiarized again, then move on to try kde, icewm and flux, maybe evilwm too09:10

Zvezdichkoa separate /home shouldn't be a problem09:36
ZvezdichkoI have installed such thingy on a box but this problems seems strange09:36
silent_I dont think a separate /boot/ works though, since the system has to mount it before it can be accessed by grub and grub is initialized before th os09:36
silent_its a paradox09:37
