| M_42 | if im not mistaken | 12:41 |
| GrueTamer | the alt cd is not a livecd, you are correct | 12:42 |
| Jester45 | emdash: the desktop iso is a live cd (gui) the alternative is just an installer | 12:42 |
| Jester45 | both are simple to use, and if you have a older computer the alt is much faster | 12:42 |

| test3r | I keep getting this trying to backup a very tricky disk - dd: reading `/dev/cdrom': Input/output error | 01:46 |
| test3r | it will only do the first part then it fails out. Is there another way to make the disk image better? | 01:47 |
| Pumpernickel | It's probably one of a) a broken disk, b) a broken drive, or c) a non-standard disk e.g; DRMed, part audio, etc. | 01:50 |
| test3r | it is the disk for Postal2:STP. It has StarForce / similar encryption and/or crazy method of messing me up making a backup of a software I have legaly purchased =((( | 01:51 |
| test3r | is there another way to make an image of it that possibly wont fail out ? | 01:52 |

| === j1mc [n=jim@adsl-75-21-84-11.dsl.chcgil.sbcglobal.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| Catoptromancy_ | Im sure starforce is probably the problem, it isnt scratched too badly | 01:54 |
| Catoptromancy_ | Starforce wasnt suppose to let people make copies | 01:54 |
| test3r | On RunningWithScissor's forums (back when they were still Up - the guys who make Postal) they said if you could make a backup of the disk you were allowd to. | 01:55 |
| Catoptromancy_ | starforce may only run in windows | 01:55 |
| Catoptromancy_ | and probably counts the number of times you make copies | 01:55 |
| test3r | It may or may not be starforce. there is something goofy on it, though. Even ALCEE 120 has a glitch in it's image it makes of it. | 01:55 |

| test3r | a fresh copy of What, jester? | 08:36 |
| Jester46 | win98 | 08:36 |
| test3r | OSs dont like to be on removable media. | 08:36 |
| Jester46 | it just puzzeled me | 08:36 |
| test3r | although youd think win98 would b better about it | 08:36 |
| Jester46 | ?? its a 80gb harddrive | 08:36 |
| Jester46 | it worked fine as a 2nd drive | 08:37 |
| Jester46 | but when i installed the os to it | 08:37 |
| test3r | if i remember correct didnt FAT32 and win98 have gig limitations? | 08:37 |
| Jester46 | i couldnt do much i/o | 08:37 |
| test3r | did you patch the 'kernel;' ? | 08:37 |
| Jester46 | thats whats weird, when it was storage it was 80gb | 08:37 |
| Jester46 | but shoulded it of been less | 08:38 |
| test3r | even winXP needed a fix to see my 160Gig back two years ago when i installed that | 08:38 |
| test3r | how is the 80gig partitioned? | 08:38 |
| Jester46 | fat32 all of it | 08:38 |
| test3r | make a small partition for the WIn98 maybe that will help. just keep all partitions in fat32 | 08:38 |
| Jester46 | could it of been becuase i used a downloaded cd? i lost mine | 08:39 |
| === Jester46 still had his product key | ||
| test3r | could b. I know I didnt sent it to u so it could b anything on it | 08:40 |
| test3r | u scanned the thing, yes? | 08:40 |
| test3r | mount the iso and gut it with at Least AVG? | 08:40 |
| Jester46 | i burned it then installed | 08:40 |
| Jester46 | well.. i dont care what happens to the machine | 08:40 |
| Jester46 | at long as the hardware is fine | 08:40 |
| test3r | it might not Damage the machine. perhaps it is supposed to Root it | 08:41 |
| test3r | c? | 08:41 |
| test3r | id recommend using the tools from that security site... shucks what is it. You can trace running processes | 08:41 |

| test3r | he made some freeware tools to trace stuff | 08:42 |
| [g0t0] | if i pxe boot (i already success on it) can i use ubuntu iso that i already download | 08:42 |
| [g0t0] | my connection at home rather slow | 08:43 |
| test3r | you mean thru network??? booting from a network? erm, how is the CD in the system? network-wide shared drive? | 08:43 |
| === insmod [n=insmod@d141-13-36.home.cgocable.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| Jester46 | test3r: there is a thing called netboot | 08:44 |
| [g0t0] | yes using tfttpd | 08:44 |
| Jester46 | [g0t0] : maybe have a look at | 08:44 |
| Jester46 | !install | 08:44 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate | 08:45 |
| [g0t0] | cd can be shared through my another computer it has http server on it | 08:45 |
| test3r | ah ha= jester- it is at www.sysinternals.net | 08:45 |
| test3r | so than boot from flop[py and mount thru loopbak | 08:45 |
| test3r | wait no ud have to launch it up in stuff somehow | 08:46 |
| test3r | see a boot CD works because it is tricking the BIOS kind of | 08:46 |
| Jester46 | not really | 08:46 |
| test3r | boot CDs have a small "floppy boot" image in the first part of the disk. | 08:46 |
| Jester46 | its acting like a harddrive no trick | 08:46 |
| test3r | the BIOS reads that and boots it just like a floopy would | 08:47 |
| test3r | so yes, it does kind of trick it | 08:47 |
| [g0t0] | yes but on instalation using pxe u must redownload packages from ubuntu server | 08:47 |
| Jester46 | the bios knows its a cd | 08:47 |
| test3r | your saying a boot cd has an MBR>? or how would it do that??? | 08:47 |
| [g0t0] | if i would like to mirror feisty.. which one i need to download.. | 08:48 |
| === CoRnJuLiOx [n=jrtuvera@202.128.58.209] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| test3r | the packedges should be on the cd itself . use apt-get on them somehow pointing to the disk. LoL there are system Reqs for the different versions. AND it depends what you are trying to do with the install cd itself | 08:49 |
| test3r | easy route? Get the LiveCD | 08:49 |
| test3r | put it in. reboot your computer. | 08:49 |
| [g0t0] | well let see i have 100pc i want to install ubuntu.. i dont want each of them connect to ubuntu server asking packages.. so its better if i can mirror it... | 08:50 |
| Jester46 | download the packages to your http then have each computer download the packages to apt's cache | 08:51 |
| test3r | than you need to make a custom install disk possibly. make scripts onto the disk image that will point to your own network locations for the packs (a giant server-mirror in your own network) | 08:51 |
| Jester46 | then when you try to install apt all ready has them and installes | 08:51 |
| test3r | yes get them all in apt cache | 08:52 |
| [g0t0] | ubuntu cd seems compress the packages in casper/filesystem.squashfs | 08:53 |
| [g0t0] | hmm well gona try something... | 08:54 |
| [g0t0] | thank you | 08:54 |

| TheoMurpse | So I just installed xubuntu 7.04 on my laptop, and am now trying to get a certain program compiled. However, when I do ./configure.sh, I get "Please install (or upgrade to) GTK+ 2.6.0, at least." How do I do this? | 09:25 |
| Catoptromancy | sudo aptitude install gtk | 09:27 |
| test3r | you might want "build-essential," too, if you plan on using MAKE at all | 09:29 |
| TheoMurpse | test3r: yes, I plan on using MAKE. Do you mean I should sudo aptitude install build-essential? or what exactly is this "build-essential"? | 09:29 |
| Myrtti | it contains c++ compiler etc | 09:31 |
| Myrtti | all the stuff essential for compiling and building stuff | 09:31 |
| TheoMurpse | Catoptromancy: I tried "sudo aptitude install gtk" and got Couldn't find package "gtk", and more than 40 packages contain "gtk" in their name. | 09:31 |
| Myrtti | except automake, packaging stuff etc | 09:31 |
| test3r | isnt it apt-get ? | 09:35 |
| test3r | try sudo apt-get install gtk | 09:35 |
| === sutabi [i=Joseph@ip70-181-143-88.sd.sd.cox.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| test3r | you might need a full file name though and not just "gtk" | 09:35 |
| Myrtti | test3r: aptitude is in many ways better than apt-get | 09:35 |
| sutabi | Is there a way to upgrade xubuntu without downloading the .iso and putting it into a cd/etc | 09:35 |
| test3r | lol- use synaptic. | 09:35 |
| Myrtti | for instance, if you remove programs installed with it, it also remove redundant packages | 09:36 |
| test3r | click the little button and Search =9 | 09:36 |
| Myrtti | sutabi: sure there is | 09:36 |
| Myrtti | sutabi: gksudo "update-manager -c" | 09:36 |
| TheoMurpse | test3r: what is the full name of gtk? gimp toolkit? | 09:36 |
| test3r | no that is for the program GIMP | 09:36 |
| test3r | a photoeditor | 09:37 |
| sutabi | Myrtti, ah thanks!!! | 09:37 |
| Myrtti | test3r: try libgtk-dev | 09:37 |
| TheoMurpse | I know what GIMP is. However, I need GTK+ 2.6.0? sudo apt-get install gtk 2.6.0? | 09:38 |
| test3r | mmmmm, i remember whan i looked for GTK i had trouble finding it also. yes that might be it. i remember it wasl Already Installed I believe | 09:38 |

| Eagle_101 | put up the xubuntu login screen | 09:41 |

| Eagle_101 | no test3r I'm running gentoo linux at the moment | 09:42 |
| Eagle_101 | version me ;) | 09:42 |

| Eagle_101 | (and yes the MD5 hashes match) | 09:48 |
| test3r | boy- thats what i woulda done. You got Me. !!! No clue =( | 09:48 |
| Eagle_101 | so yeah... I've got a useless CD here :( | 09:49 |
| test3r | maybe yolu need to pass the kernel a boot option at start time? | 09:49 |
| test3r | because root should be starting up X for you | 09:49 |
| Eagle_101 | mmm what would I want to pass it... I thought this was for new folks to linux >.> | 09:49 |
| test3r | it is but perhaps you have goofy hardware | 09:50 |
| Eagle_101 | and at no point does the CD seem to allow me to interrupt its start up | 09:50 |
| test3r | I just ran across an INTEL graphics chip that GParted wont boot on | 09:50 |
| test3r | i now have to get a PCI graphics card for the box | 09:50 |
| test3r | its at the first first first menu | 09:51 |
| test3r | the one with "start Xubuntu" and "test memory" | 09:51 |
| Eagle_101 | http://rafb.net/p/L1c7F189.html | 09:51 |
| Eagle_101 | thats my lspci output | 09:52 |
| test3r | there is an option to pass things to the kernel at that spot | 09:52 |
| Eagle_101 | ok, what would I want to pass it? | 09:52 |
| Eagle_101 | I saw 5 options | 09:52 |
| TheoMurpse | OK, for anyone who is curious, I got my problem solved by going to synaptic and selecting to install libgtk2-dev | 09:52 |
| test3r | that link is 404 for me, & my net is obviously working | 09:52 |
| Eagle_101 | http://rafb.net/p/L1c7Fl89.html | 09:53 |
| Eagle_101 | try that sorry | 09:53 |
| Eagle_101 | I'm in terminal only mode. (no Xfce) | 09:53 |
| test3r | no way- you needed the Development pak huh? Thanks Theo! I'll write it down actually on my cheat sheet | 09:53 |
| TheoMurpse | test3r: yeah, as soon as I added the dev pack, ./configuration.sh worked like a charm | 09:54 |
| test3r | oh crap, so you cant even spawn a new tab and search forums even =/ | 09:54 |
| test3r | u can spawn new tty tho | 09:54 |
| test3r | ? | 09:55 |
| Eagle_101 | yeah :) | 09:55 |
| test3r | kewllliiio | 09:55 |
| Eagle_101 | If I wanted to I could start up X | 09:55 |

| test3r | yes exactly - hopefully the answer is there 4 u | 09:59 |
| Eagle_101 | ok :) | 10:00 |
| Eagle_101 | this is really odd though, why does the CD even have a login window O.o | 10:00 |
| test3r | I have never had that window happen pre-installation. | 10:01 |
| Eagle_101 | thing i I had at one time the Dapper | 10:02 |
| Eagle_101 | and it had no problems >.> | 10:02 |
| Eagle_101 | test3r, none of those links above seem to be helping anything :( | 10:04 |
| TheoMurpse | What si the default password for root? I need to run something as root, not just through sudo (linux tenderfoot here, so perhaps I'm wrong about this, but my program instructs that I must run make install as root). | 10:04 |
| Eagle_101 | TheoMurpse, when you use the install CD you should *be* root | 10:05 |
| test3r | no just use SuDo, running as true-root on *buntu is a bad idea | 10:05 |
| test3r | oh he is on the LiveCD? | 10:05 |
| Eagle_101 | at least that was how the dapper cds work | 10:05 |
| TheoMurpse | Eagle_101: I'm not running off the livecd right now. | 10:06 |
| test3r | sudo runs a command as root would either way. | 10:06 |
| test3r | it is equal | 10:06 |
| Eagle_101 | ok test3r if I were to ask a question in the forums, where is the best place to ask something of the nature I just asked you? | 10:06 |
| test3r | but you are setup for One | 10:06 |
| TheoMurpse | test3r: sudo elevates My privileges, but doesn't make me root. It just makes my user account a "privileged user". Am I mistaken? | 10:06 |
| test3r | are you talking about running with -i ???? just use the command you need as root by " sudo COMMAND" | 10:07 |
| Eagle_101 | TheoMurpse, sudo makes you root | 10:07 |
| TheoMurpse | Eagle_101: OK. I keep getting conflicting statements on this account. Thanks, Eagle, I'll take your word for it. | 10:07 |
| Eagle_101 | welcome ;) | 10:07 |
| test3r | if Quake3 Shareware can install from source using SuDo, you can install the command you want using sudo | 10:08 |
| test3r | it is equal to root, as I said back up there ^^^^ | 10:08 |
| TheoMurpse | test3r and Eagle_101: I'm from an XP world, where "Admin" (root) and "runas" (su) are different. | 10:10 |

| test3r | exactly. he has tried ubuntu//null , ubuntu//ubuntu, xubuntu//xubuntu, and maybe more. Oh- his current linux login. he has Gentoo installed I think ? | 10:45 |

| T` | test3r, ? | 10:45 |
| Eagle_101 | yes | 10:45 |
| test3r | T` > yes? | 10:45 |
| T` | test3r, should i be concerned? | 10:45 |
| T` | test3r, regarding the n= | 10:46 |
| T` | heh | 10:46 |
| test3r | about the n= thing???? no i thought it messed up your name at first | 10:46 |
| T` | haha ok | 10:46 |
| test3r | id say - Wipe the gentoo. I compiled that sucker for THREE days and it couldnt get Auto-DHCP from a PCI-3COM card to get internet from my network here at my house. as far as im concerned, if you want a minimal dist- use slack. | 10:48 |
| Eagle_101 | oh test3r its not letting me put in passwords | 10:48 |
| Eagle_101 | test3r, heh ;) my gentoo works flawlessly other then my wireless card | 10:48 |
| test3r | yeah but I installed slack in hours. | 10:48 |

| Eagle_101 | test3r, I'm seriously thinking about axing the microsoft | 10:49 |
| Eagle_101 | well I'm going to put a post in the ubuntu forums | 10:50 |
| test3r | out of curiosity - which loader did u go with? | 10:50 |
| test3r | GRUB or LiLO/? | 10:51 |
| Eagle_101 | GRUB | 10:51 |
| test3r | hmmmm- well that logically should play well with *buntu, as long as it is a newer up to date version I'd guess | 10:52 |
| test3r | I dont imagein they make much changes to those | 10:53 |
| Eagle_101 | test3r, yeah and I can't see how that would affect the LiveCD | 10:54 |
| test3r | it wouldnt. X had already started! the whole thing is bizzar | 10:55 |
| Eagle_101 | affecting the install I can imagine, especially if it wants to put in LiLO | 10:55 |
| test3r | no it uses GRUB as GRUB is supposidly better with dualboot I guess | 10:55 |
| test3r | but I know gentoo can choose either | 10:55 |
| test3r | it is in their manual which i read front-2-back | 10:55 |
| Eagle_101 | yep :) | 10:56 |
| Eagle_101 | gentoo is like the ultimate in terms of getting to choose | 10:56 |
| test3r | choices are great once you know what to choose. | 10:57 |
| test3r | for my first tux box though it was a bit much obviously | 10:57 |
| Eagle_101 | heh :) | 10:57 |
| test3r | even Following the instructions | 10:57 |
| Eagle_101 | oh I dumped my question into absolute beginner talk >.> | 10:58 |
| test3r | that's probably better- less change of flame-edge & prob low response time | 10:59 |
| Eagle_101 | hopefully ;) | 10:59 |
| test3r | and then when they Solve it you will be plenty prepared to issue any piece they have you changing. | 11:00 |
| Eagle_101 | yep | 11:00 |
| test3r | well - I hope they do. I have to get to bed it is 5 AM where I am | 11:00 |
| test3r | take care | 11:01 |
| Eagle_101 | ok night :) | 11:01 |
| Eagle_101 | thanks for your help. | 11:01 |

| jlehto | All of those are over 100 MB | 11:50 |
| Eagle_101 | mmm have not a clue, I don't see any in my gentoo install (I'm still working on trying to install xubuntu) though I don't know if they are required for ubuntu | 11:51 |
| jlehto | Thunar says that those are some kind of programs crash information | 11:52 |
| Eagle_101 | jlehto, I don't know if you can or not, I don't think those are critical to the distro, but as I'm not running it I can't tell you for sure | 11:53 |
| grazie | jlehto: As you've already discovered, they are core dump files that can be produced when an app crashes | 11:55 |
| jlehto | So can I just remove those and my system work as before after it? | 11:58 |
| Eagle_101 | jlehto, yeah I think | 11:58 |
| Eagle_101 | sounds like all they are, are dump files | 11:58 |
| jlehto | okei. I removed all of those | 12:00 |
| grazie | jlehto: you remove then without problems, yes. They can be used to debug why a program is crashing. | 12:01 |

| Eagle_101 | no no, I'm using the xubuntu liveCD | 12:06 |

| Eagle_101 | grazie, no random pass, all I'm getting is a request for me to enter a username | 12:12 |
| Eagle_101 | this is the first thing that I see after it boots into the CD | 12:13 |

| Eagle_101 | I have gentoo installed, and I'd rather not install it with the alternate as I would like to see if my wireless will work | 12:24 |

| Eagle_101 | well I'm installing virtualbox now | 12:28 |

| TheSheep | !upgrade | 05:00 |
| ubotu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 05:00 |
| djuuss_ | some stuff (most notably focus changing when changing desktops) that are annoying me atm are fixed in 4.4.1 so i'm looking forward to it (gotta love dual-head and cedega) | 05:00 |
| TheSheep | djuuss_: but remember that it's an early alpha version | 05:01 |
| djuuss_ | can i selectively pick packages to upgrade to or do i get the whole thing? are you using it atm? | 05:01 |
| TheSheep | djuuss_: yes and yes | 05:01 |
| TheSheep | djuuss_: just add the gutsy repositories and do a refresh in synaptic | 05:02 |
| djuuss_ | cool, theres nothing about Gutsy on that link you gave me tho, just put 'gutsy' after 'main universe' etc | 05:02 |
| djuuss_ | ? | 05:02 |
| TheSheep | djuuss_: just copy the entries for feisty and replace all the 'fesity' with 'gutsy; | 05:03 |
| TheSheep | 'feisty' with 'gutsy' | 05:04 |
| djuuss_ | Will do | 05:04 |

| tobias | Hi, how do I install Skype in Xubuntu? I've got something wrong. | 05:07 |
| tobias | tobias@hakkburk:~$ sudo dpkg -i skype_debian-1.3.0.53-1_i386.deb | 05:07 |
| tobias | dpkg: status database area is locked by another process | 05:07 |
| djuuss_ | if i have more questions should i ask in private or is this channel ok TheSheep? I have one, why does XFCE metapackage upgrade demand the removal of gimp and swfplayer | 05:09 |
| djuuss_ | tobias, kill synaptic first | 05:09 |
| tobias | thanks! | 05:10 |
| TheSheep | djuuss_: ask here | 05:11 |
| TheSheep | djuuss_: thexfce metapackage is obsolete, I think | 05:11 |
| TheSheep | !info xfce | 05:11 |
| ubotu | Package xfce does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas | 05:12 |
| TheSheep | yup | 05:12 |
| TheSheep | djuuss_: it's no longer in feisty even | 05:12 |

| === AtomicSpaceKrake [n=jon@stott1.demon.co.uk] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| djuuss_ | tobias, did that help? 'database area is locked' means some apt process is already running, so if its not synaptic then check your terminal(s) to see if apt is running in any of those | 05:14 |

| W8TAH | what editor would you recomend | 07:51 |
| test3r | pinnacle | 07:51 |
| test3r | heh.... ^ ^ | 07:51 |
| test3r | being as it takes a fration of the time to mux down compared to adobe | 07:52 |

| test3r | Adobe After Effects is nice though, because you can do alot of FX not in other prgs with it. But it still takes a rediculous amount of time to save anything down to usable video. | 07:54 |
| tobias | Do I have to install something else than Wine? | 07:54 |
| Smygis | dont think so | 07:55 |
| test3r | yes, wine luv valve | 07:55 |
| test3r | you have to run winecfg | 07:55 |
| test3r | did u do that yet? still dont go? | 07:55 |
| W8TAH | test3r, ya - i use AE here too - - i guess im looking for a program that is similar / equivalent to premier for this trip | 07:56 |
| test3r | my best guess would b pull up synaptic and search for key words related to what you want | 07:57 |

| Jester46 | what would be a good filesystem for windows and xubuntu to share | 08:12 |

| test3r | aw man, it can only 800x600 at 32bit color. =( and its a 64MB card! | 08:27 |
| hyper_ch | Jester46: ext3 is backwards compatible | 08:27 |
| hyper_ch | Jester46: so you can make it ext3 | 08:27 |
| hyper_ch | at least the say so in the wiki/faq/howto | 08:27 |
| Jester46 | but would it make any diffrence once i come back to linux | 08:28 |
| hyper_ch | I don't think so | 08:28 |
| === crdlb_ [n=crdlb@unaffiliated/crdlb] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| test3r | if i remember correct ext3 is ext2 with journaling | 08:29 |
| test3r | so that is the diference there. not much. | 08:29 |
| hyper_ch | ext3 is with journaling | 08:29 |
| hyper_ch | ext2 isn't | 08:29 |
| hyper_ch | that's the only difference between those two | 08:29 |
| test3r | yeps exactly =) | 08:29 |
| Jester46 | If you mount an Ext3 file system as an Ext2 file system and the file system is not cleanly dismounted, (e.g. due to a system crash), you have to run the e2fsck tool. (Linux does it automatically.) Running e2fsck can take several hours on large volumes. You do not benefit from journaling the Ext3 file system, because you have to run e2fsck. | 08:30 |
| test3r | So is gparted itself on the Xubuntu 704 LiveCD then?? | 08:30 |
| Jester46 | i think i will make it ext2 i dont really want to have to run that | 08:31 |
| Jester46 | yea it is | 08:31 |
| hyper_ch | Jester46: you only need to run it if windoze crashes | 08:31 |
| hyper_ch | sort of 3-4 times a week ;) | 08:31 |
| Jester46 | i will probly crash it each day | 08:31 |
| test3r | being as ive used it already, and i know it works, thats what i would like to use. and only buntu is loading up with the lame Intel eMachines graphics accel | 08:32 |
| test3r | so if i can use gparted on the xubuntu livecd im gold. | 08:32 |
| test3r | also- all i have is the beta live cd right now can i install from that and then just run Update? | 08:33 |

| Jester46 | ?? | 08:38 |
| test3r | at 2:30:38 say ext3 is bad for that reason there, but what it is really saying to you is, if you mount ext3 as the wrong thing, then proceed to pull the plug from the back of the box- not umounting anything, then there will be complaining when you reboot | 08:41 |
| test3r | that is what that says | 08:41 |

| test3r | speaking of shutting down - | 08:45 |
| test3r | if i am on a dist that dumps me at prompt after exiting X | 08:45 |
| Jester46 | yea so if i make it ext3 and use windows and its moutns at ext2 | 08:45 |
| Jester46 | and i crash it then i have to run that program | 08:45 |
| Jester46 | type sudo halt now | 08:46 |
| test3r | i try to issue sudo shutdown now, right? well it does SOME f the shutdown then puts me back at a prompt again. Is it safe to shutoff at that point? | 08:46 |
| test3r | if i type at that point it yells and says "if you are rly sure u need to, here, i put u bak at prompt" and then when i shutoff the power that time there it didnt like that | 08:47 |
| test3r | =( | 08:47 |
| test3r | oh yes I suppose so in that case of mounting it through winblows. will winblows ONLY mount it as ext2 ? and why cant you use FAT32 as the shared partition for files between the OSs? | 08:48 |
| Jester46 | idk | 08:49 |
| Jester46 | is there a speed diffrence | 08:49 |
| test3r | Slack has a dist that runs entirely on the FAT32 filesys itself | 08:49 |
| test3r | you can inject it into a win98 box i suppose. | 08:49 |
| test3r | well yes it is as long as win98 takes to access a file I suppose (if it was on your newer, faster machine you are using) | 08:50 |
| test3r | There is prob a way to get *buntu to write to fat32, too, im guesing | 08:50 |
| test3r | if slak can | 08:51 |
| Jester46 | i think buntu can by default | 08:51 |
| test3r | Nice! prob solved. go 4 it, playa | 08:51 |
| test3r | ;D | 08:51 |
| Jester46 | FAT doesn support permissions | 08:53 |
| test3r | I haven't had the chance to do it yet, myself, I have 3 OSs on this laptop so not much room for a FAT32 partition. However, you can format some of the old first JumpDrives with FAT32, and that might work for sharing / temp storage | 08:54 |
| test3r | not fat16 | 08:54 |
| test3r | fat32 | 08:54 |
| === hyper_ch [n=hyper@84-75-93-168.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| test3r | and i think it did somehow because I remember those settings inside win98 | 08:54 |
| test3r | might have gbeen the SE update | 08:54 |
| Jester46 | ok so i will make the shared FAT32 mounted at /home/ryan/storage | 08:54 |
| test3r | you should have 98se anyway | 08:54 |
| test3r | mount it whereever u lik whe ur in linux i suppose | 08:55 |
| test3r | the tricky will be getting winblows to accept it being there | 08:55 |
| test3r | i suggest rebooting into win after creating the new FAT partititon | 08:55 |
| Jester46 | winblows will not know | 08:55 |
| test3r | ^ ^ it can see it if it is an official partition on the disk,though. | 08:56 |
| test3r | if u use, say, gparted to make a free space OK. then use a dos dsk to partition that space into fat32 | 08:56 |
| test3r | it doesnt add ur linux ones because (yep) they are in ext3,,raiser, watever | 08:57 |
| test3r | doesnt know wat 2 do | 08:57 |
| Jester46 | umm... im going to be formating the drive | 08:57 |
| test3r | oh thats too ez! do the whole thing leaving te orig win intact | 08:58 |
| test3r | =D | 08:58 |
| test3r | thats what i did on this laptop. | 08:58 |

| test3r | Does anyone know yet if gParted is on the buntu live cd? or what- shouldi just sudo apt-get install gparted once im in? | 08:59 |

| TheDarkKiller | Oh | 11:08 |
| TheDarkKiller | Well | 11:08 |
| TheDarkKiller | I need Wine | 11:08 |
| hyper_ch | for two reasons: | 11:08 |
| hyper_ch | (1) waste of server power that can be put at better use | 11:08 |
| TheDarkKiller | Some of my server applications needs to be run my Wine | 11:08 |
| TheDarkKiller | *by | 11:08 |
| hyper_ch | (2) a matter of security... the more stuff is installed the more likely it will be hacked | 11:08 |
| TheDarkKiller | Yeah | 11:09 |
| TheDarkKiller | But I still need Wine, tough | 11:09 |
| hyper_ch | TheDarkKiller: what for? | 11:10 |
| TheDarkKiller | Well | 11:10 |
| TheDarkKiller | It is a bit complicated, but let me explain | 11:10 |
| TheDarkKiller | A game I'm currently making (for Windows) has a specific protocol that's currently not 'defined' | 11:11 |
| TheDarkKiller | Also | 11:11 |
| hyper_ch | why don't you make it for linux? | 11:11 |
| TheDarkKiller | Well | 11:11 |
| TheDarkKiller | Because I can't code in Linux | 11:11 |
| TheDarkKiller | And | 11:12 |
| TheDarkKiller | Because almost every gamer uses Windows, sadly | 11:12 |
| hyper_ch | TheDarkKiller: c++ | 11:12 |
| TheDarkKiller | I hate C++ | 11:12 |
| TheDarkKiller | Or | 11:12 |
| hyper_ch | make it open source... then it should be simple to convert | 11:12 |
| TheDarkKiller | I have a C++ handicap, so to say | 11:12 |
| TheDarkKiller | Well, my development enviroment is a bit easyfied | 11:13 |
| hyper_ch | anyway, what is the problem now? | 11:13 |
| TheDarkKiller | It has a Lua interpreter with alot of functions | 11:13 |
