bulio | I've tried it a while ago, and it crashed at the desktop a lot of times | 12:26 |
---|---|---|
TheSheep | bulio: never had a crash not caused by my own tinkering | 12:26 |
TheSheep | bulio: it's fixed since feisty | 12:26 |
bulio | oh, ok | 12:27 |
TheSheep | bulio: edgy and dapper used beta vesions of xgce | 12:27 |
bulio | it should be a step up from XP | 12:28 |
bulio | which is kind of laggy after 4 months install | 12:28 |
bulio | I guess I'll need to convert my storage partition from NTFS to Fat32? | 12:29 |
TheSheep | bulio: better to ext3 | 12:29 |
bulio | can I do that without losing data? | 12:30 |
Ktron | TheSheep: yeah, ext3 or one of the newer ones | 12:30 |
TheSheep | bulio: I don't know | 12:30 |
Ktron | bulio: what I just said to TheSheep | 12:30 |
TheSheep | bulio: probably not | 12:30 |
Ktron | bulio: you can convert to NTFS to Fat32 directly without losing data? | 12:30 |
bulio | yeah | 12:31 |
Ktron | bulio: probably better to repartition and move what you want over, and then ultimately delete the old partition and make the new one full size | 12:31 |
TheSheep | bulio: if you can do that, then better stick to fat | 12:32 |
bulio | so resize my 80GB partition (32GB used) into a 50GB, transfer stuff over, then delete the old partition and convert it to ext3 too? | 12:32 |
TheSheep | bulio: at least it works and you know how to handle it | 12:32 |
Ktron | bulio: If you're comfortable with that, yes | 12:32 |
Ktron | bulio: ext3 will be better than fat32 | 12:32 |
TheSheep | bulio: resizing partitions can fail and destroy the data | 12:33 |
TheSheep | Ktron: not much | 12:33 |
Ktron | Never lost data resizing.... | 12:33 |
Ktron | ntfsresize is pretty reliable | 12:33 |
TheSheep | Ktron: ever read its license? | 12:33 |
bulio | I'll give it a try | 12:33 |
bulio | I'm using partitionmagic 8.0 on windows | 12:33 |
Ktron | bulio: anyway, at the end you can resize the 50gb to take the full 80gb, or if you prefer, keep them separate | 12:34 |
TheSheep | bulio: but you will need additional driver yo trad ext2/3 in windows | 12:34 |
Ktron | bulio: partitionmagic should have no problem resizing, and there's one built in to the *buntu installer too | 12:34 |
TheSheep | to read | 12:34 |
TheSheep | * | 12:34 |
Ktron | TheSheep: he's replacing windows xp (right?) | 12:34 |
Ktron | TheSheep: he won't need to ever use windows to read ext3 | 12:35 |
TheSheep | ah, in that case ext is better :) | 12:35 |
TheSheep | good night, good luck | 12:35 |
Ktron | bulio: I usually go the partitioning route, simply because it means I keep what I want/need | 12:36 |

ceil420 | Can't FUCK wit' {uX} when we're blazed XD http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/4686/shot0012uk7.png | 12:37 |
Ktron | bulio: plus, you probably don't want to keep exactly the same directory structure | 12:37 |
bulio | what do you mean, Ktron? | 12:38 |
Ktron | ceil420: they almost did | 12:38 |
ceil420 | lol | 12:38 |
bulio | right now, I have windows xp on a 20GB partition, and all my data on a 90GB partition | 12:38 |
bulio | the 90GB partition is NTFS | 12:39 |
Ktron | So, if you're trying to keep old data, you probably have old data in like, C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\ etc | 12:39 |
bulio | yeah | 12:39 |
bulio | no | 12:39 |
bulio | its in E:\ | 12:39 |
Ktron | bulio: oh, I got it | 12:39 |
Ktron | bulio: that's better practice | 12:39 |
bulio | so like E:\Music | 12:39 |
Ktron | bulio: and you just want to replace the windows xp bit, right? | 12:39 |
bulio | the C:\ drive is only for programs and windows itself | 12:39 |
bulio | ^^yeah | 12:40 |
bulio | but Linux doesn't work with ntfs too well | 12:40 |
bulio | which is the filsystem of E:\ | 12:40 |
Ktron | You should be able to mount ntfs for r/w like that I think... | 12:40 |
bulio | with ntfs-3g? | 12:41 |
Ktron | I don't think linux likes installing into ntfs, but I don't think you're likely to run into problems using ntfs for your storage | 12:41 |
Ktron | bulio: I'm really not sure | 12:42 |
bulio | well, I'll convert it to FAT32 to be safe | 12:42 |
bulio | thanks for the help, I'll be back later | 12:42 |
Ktron | bulio: I know that I've happily mounted and worked with ntfs partitions (and played music off of them and movies) from the livecd | 12:42 |
Jester45 | i think you can run linux from ntfs, becuase there is a way to install linux in windows by making a file that contains all the linux stuff. kinda like a windows swap file | 12:57 |

Catoptromancy | you missing libs? | 08:06 |
Catoptromancy | I got a list | 08:06 |

AlexC | not good!!!!! | 12:53 |
AlexC | i was messing with bios settings and..... | 12:54 |
AlexC | now it won't start | 12:54 |
AlexC | at all | 12:54 |
AlexC | not even into bios | 12:54 |
totalwormage | AlexC: well, you can always reset your cmos | 12:57 |
totalwormage | if you don't mind that things are reset to default settings | 12:57 |
Gerro | AlexC: pop open the hood and pull the battery while its powered off | 12:58 |
=== xjkx [n=x@201009061254.user.veloxzone.com.br] has left #xubuntu [] | ||
totalwormage | yeah or use the jumper saying cmos, hit your powerbutten, switch the jumber again and boot :] | 12:58 |
AlexC | how do i do that? | 12:59 |
totalwormage | AlexC: open up your case | 01:00 |
AlexC | dohne | 01:00 |
AlexC | done | 01:00 |
totalwormage | look for a jumper, it will say cmos | 01:00 |
totalwormage | and is awfully small :p | 01:00 |
AlexC | i'll look | 01:00 |
AlexC | brb | 01:00 |
Gerro | AlexC: what were you doing to bios anyway? | 01:01 |
Gerro | both laptop I use and my brothers use pheonix bios and display the same bug message on boot | 01:01 |
Gerro | i was thinking about looking into it and perhaps trying to reflash a better bios | 01:01 |
AlexC | yeah, it's pheonix | 01:02 |
AlexC | *award bios | 01:02 |
AlexC | where would the jumper be? | 01:02 |
AlexC | it's a late 90's mainboard | 01:02 |
AlexC | AMD Duron | 01:03 |
AlexC | (my bios is pheonix) | 01:03 |
Gerro | yeah he uses an amd turion64 | 01:04 |
totalwormage | AlexC: i don't know :] if you know your exact motherboard type, you can googled for it | 01:04 |
AlexC | where do i find that name of my mainboard? | 01:04 |
Gerro | AlexC: if you don't know the model try looking for print written on it | 01:04 |
AlexC | i have | 01:05 |
AlexC | it uses SD RAM | 01:05 |
AlexC | it's not a standard computer made by a company | 01:05 |
AlexC | it's a custom made one | 01:05 |
AlexC | i'll have another look, brb | 01:06 |
Gerro | AlexC: I doubt anyone custom made their motherboard | 01:06 |
Gerro | might be modded a bit but still that's hard work | 01:06 |
AlexC | i can't find name | 01:08 |
AlexC | or cmos switch | 01:08 |
AlexC | what is the name like? | 01:09 |
Gerro | give me a sec I'll show you some pics | 01:11 |
Gerro | http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=com.ubuntu%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=cmos&btnG=Search+Images take that out | 01:11 |
Gerro | see its the round thing | 01:12 |
AlexC | i have one of those batteries | 01:14 |
AlexC | \i'll look around that | 01:14 |
Gerro | that is what he meant by a "release" button for the cmos (battery thing) | 01:14 |

zoidberg | lol | 01:29 |
AlexC | mhm | 01:29 |
zoidberg | i had been running xubuntu breezy on it quite well actually | 01:29 |
zoidberg | it was a lil slow but it ran fine | 01:29 |
zoidberg | recently breezy was not supported anymore | 01:30 |
zoidberg | i couldnt donwload some new packages that i wanted | 01:30 |
zoidberg | to i decided to upgrade to dapper or edgy | 01:30 |
zoidberg | tried dapper | 01:30 |
zoidberg | first through terminal | 01:30 |
zoidberg | i've done this several times on my ubuntu pc | 01:30 |
zoidberg | but it didn't work | 01:30 |
zoidberg | then i used this breezy poerpc alternate cd to install it from scratch | 01:31 |
zoidberg | and well not all pacakges got installed | 01:31 |
zoidberg | i dont think the installation was complete | 01:31 |
zoidberg | anywas | 01:31 |
zoidberg | i had to skip a few steps in the installation process because not all the packages were there | 01:31 |
zoidberg | now i reboot | 01:31 |
zoidberg | and xubuntu starts | 01:31 |

zoidberg | does this mean that i dont have the xfce desktop installed? | 01:32 |

ghata1 | Hi, my sound has vanished all of a sudden, audio players report that audio plugin do not work. same with every other application. What has gone wrong ? | 01:32 |
AlexC | are there any error messages? | 01:32 |
AlexC | zoidberg: error messages? | 01:33 |
zoidberg | no not on reboot | 01:33 |
zoidberg | it just boots to a console | 01:34 |
AlexC | hmmm | 01:34 |
zoidberg | i think the installation was alright | 01:34 |
zoidberg | but not complete | 01:34 |
AlexC | that makes me think X was not installed at all | 01:34 |
AlexC | type : sudo startx | 01:34 |
zoidberg | AlexC, its STARTING!!! | 01:35 |
zoidberg | hold on | 01:35 |
zoidberg | let me see what happens | 01:35 |
zoidberg | okay | 01:36 |
zoidberg | the xfce lil mous on a wheel thing was loading | 01:36 |
AlexC | started? | 01:36 |
zoidberg | but then i get this X mouse cursor and nothing | 01:36 |
zoidberg | so i dont think it is installed | 01:36 |
zoidberg | can i install it from the alternate cd i have? | 01:36 |
AlexC | i only know how to on a gui | 01:37 |
AlexC | you need to put the cd into sources.list | 01:37 |
AlexC | umm | 01:37 |
AlexC | i think it's /etc/apt/sources.list or something | 01:38 |
AlexC | i can't remember | 01:39 |
AlexC | cd /etc/apt | 01:39 |
AlexC | nano sources.list | 01:39 |
AlexC | Gerro: i can't get the battery out | 01:39 |
zoidberg | AlexC, the sources.list only has the cd line | 01:40 |
AlexC | ghata1: are there multiple processes of esd? | 01:41 |
AlexC | zoidberg: what does it say? | 01:41 |
zoidberg | hey AlexC , | 01:42 |
zoidberg | it just started | 01:42 |
zoidberg | i just let it set for a while but it started | 01:42 |
zoidberg | how can i get it to start x on boot? | 01:42 |
AlexC | applications>system>services | 01:42 |
AlexC | tick gdm | 01:42 |
AlexC | that's what i did in edgy | 01:43 |
zoidberg | AlexC, i went to applications>system>services but there is no gdm option to tick? | 01:45 |
AlexC | o.0 | 01:45 |
AlexC | when X started | 01:45 |
AlexC | did it go to a login screen? | 01:45 |
zoidberg | no | 01:46 |
zoidberg | i started x from the console so i was already logged in | 01:46 |
AlexC | your problem is that gdm wasn't installed | 01:48 |
AlexC | and therefore it goes to a console login screen | 01:48 |

TheSheep | kirke: ok, edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 07:18 |

Woopahh | how do i find that out? | 07:47 |
hyper_ch | vidd_laptop: then have a look at the wp database there | 07:48 |
vidd_laptop | Woopahh, is it an internal wireless, usb, or pcmcia? | 07:48 |
hyper_ch | vidd_laptop: most script do store basic infos in a config file... maybe wp is a an exception from that | 07:48 |

vidd_laptop | hyper_ch, ok...ty | 07:48 |
vidd_laptop | Woopahh, on the command line, type lspci | 07:48 |

hyper_ch | vidd_laptop: I understand German, French, English, Italian... some spanish and very little swedish | 07:52 |
DaBeowulf | Why does it say this even when I use sudo?: ln: creating symbolic link `/media/disk/Spiele/UT2k4/System/libSDL-1.2.so.0' to `/usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0': Operation not permitted | 07:52 |
hyper_ch | DaBeowulf: what did you exactely enter as command? | 07:52 |
DaBeowulf | Does it require a libSDL-1.2.so.0 in UT2k4 to exist? | 07:53 |
DaBeowulf | This: ln -s /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 /somewhere/ut2004/System/libSDL-1.2.so.0 | 07:53 |
DaBeowulf | with sudo in front | 07:53 |

hyper_ch | DaBeowulf: what file system is it? | 07:55 |
DaBeowulf | I do have it in usr/lib | 07:55 |
hyper_ch | is that /somewhere/... a fat32 or ntfs partition? | 07:55 |

unikon | i wonder if id be able to recover my files booting up in knoppix | 08:02 |
TheSheep | unikon: yes, or you can boot with init=/bin/bash added to the kernel options | 08:02 |
TheSheep | unikon: then remount / in read-write and change your password | 08:02 |
hyper_ch | TheSheep: cool :) | 08:03 |
TheSheep | that's why gub has an option to add password to the boot options editor :) | 08:03 |
TheSheep | grub | 08:03 |
hyper_ch | just to make it clear: he was talking about recovering his root pwd and not hacking his computer ;) | 08:03 |
TheSheep | hyper_ch: it's the same | 08:03 |
hyper_ch | TheSheep: not really.. recover means he will get the information regarding his root pwd... hacking means circumventing that obstacle ;) | 08:04 |
TheSheep | hyper_ch: well, recovering the password would require breaking the hash in /etc/shadow, probably with bruteforce, which takes several days on a very fast computer... | 08:05 |
hyper_ch | DVD Encoder OGMRip looks nice... has someone already tried it? | 08:05 |
hyper_ch | TheSheep: only several days? | 08:06 |
TheSheep | hyper_ch: computers get faster every day | 08:06 |
=== hyper_ch thinks his computer gets slower every day ;) | ||
Jester45 | TheSheep, how would it take days? on a passord thats about 8 caractors long? could you just guess all the possibilities with in a pretty short amountg of time | 08:07 |
hyper_ch | 8 characters is much to hack | 08:07 |
TheSheep | Jester45: count how many possibilities there are | 08:07 |
Jester45 | i will when i get back | 08:07 |
hyper_ch | how many combinations per second? 50'000? | 08:08 |
unikon | hyper_ch if i can just use knoppix to boot up and hopefully it will see the hd all i want to do is recover files i saved to the desktop and home folder | 08:08 |
TheSheep | considering you only check 64 characters (lower and upper case, digits and some punctuation), you get 64^8 | 08:08 |
hyper_ch | unikon: you do not have /home on a seperate partition? | 08:08 |

TheSheep | unikon: you can just mount your partition from knoppix, chroot to it and use passwd to change the root password | 08:09 |
TheSheep | hyper_ch: dthat doesn't matter | 08:09 |
hyper_ch | TheSheep: well, if /home is on a seperate drive he could just reinstall everything if he wanted | 08:10 |
unikon | files on my desktop,firefox links,and other screenshots and such is all i want to recover then id be upgrading from 6.06 to the recent | 08:10 |
hyper_ch | 64^8=281474976710656 | 08:11 |
vidd_laptop | and that is assuming no special characters | 08:12 |
hyper_ch | --> /86400 (seconds per day) = 4115131238 | 08:12 |
hyper_ch | it would talke some many days if you had one combo per second | 08:13 |
hyper_ch | now let's say 100'000 combos per second | 08:13 |

hyper_ch | vidd_laptop: no... 41k computers | 08:14 |
TheSheep | hyper_ch: fortunately it's much faster, and you don't really try all combinations in the order of their length -- you first try words from the dictionary, then their combinations and modifications, then letter combinations common in human languages | 08:14 |
vidd_laptop | sorry...my keyboard skips letters whenever it feals like it,,,,, | 08:15 |
hyper_ch | TheSheep: luckily I don't have such a password ;) | 08:15 |

=== vidd_laptop uses special characters that are not found on most us keyboards | ||
hyper_ch | I use a key phrase from where I select for each word a specific letter... perfectly rememberable but hard to find out | 08:17 |

hyper_ch | for example: Cesar - De Bello Gallico starts like this: Gallia omnia est divisa in partes tres --> G03d1p3 | 08:18 |
hyper_ch | just as a possible example | 08:18 |
hyper_ch | something one can remember | 08:18 |
TheSheep | hyper_ch: you could just have a 64-characters long password in morse ;) | 08:19 |
hyper_ch | TheSheep: I only now very few letters in morse... like the S and O and E and A | 08:19 |
hyper_ch | +k | 08:19 |

DaBeowulf | But I can read and write to it O_o | 08:30 |
DaBeowulf | ah but not the other way and that or something like it is the catch here? | 08:30 |
TheSheep | DaBeowulf: yes, but the way it stores files doesn't allow you to set unix-like permissions or symbolic links on it | 08:30 |

bulio | ok | 09:01 |
bulio | ill reboot now | 09:01 |
Smygis | :/ | 09:02 |
Pumpernickel | You can just disable Thunar's auto-mounting feature. | 09:02 |
bulio | but I like the auto-mounting feature | 09:02 |
bulio | I just need to unmount it so that I can partition the drive | 09:02 |
bulio | I have 30GB of free space that must be merged with the 50GB paritition | 09:02 |

Pumpernickel | It's expecting it to not be a symlink. | 09:09 |
DaBeowulf | ^ That when I try the AMD64 bin and the same error only with libSDL-1.2.so.0 when trying the normal bin | 09:09 |
DaBeowulf | Oh okay so I'll copy the files they link to there and name them what the links are called at the moment? | 09:09 |

bulio | Pumpernickel, Thunar 4850 bulio 21r DIR 3,5 4096 2 /media/hda5 | 09:11 |
DaBeowulf | I used the commands found here: http://www.holarse-linuxgaming.de/h2006/comments/Unreal+Tournament+2004 (from bottom just above links) | 09:12 |

Pumpernickel | Linux is case-sensitive. | 09:13 |

Pumpernickel | GParted. | 09:15 |

hyper_ch | bulio: but backup your data first | 09:15 |
bulio | but it won't allow me to add 32GB of unallocated space to /dev/hda5 | 09:15 |
hyper_ch | bulio: both partitions must be unmounted | 09:15 |
bulio | must I make the unallocated space a partition first? | 09:15 |
bulio | hyper_ch, the unallocated nor hda5 is mounted | 09:16 |
Pumpernickel | bulio: The partitions would have to be sequential. | 09:16 |
bulio | what do you mean? | 09:16 |
Pumpernickel | |--hda5--|--free space--| | 09:16 |
hyper_ch | bulio: there must not be another partition between hda5 and the unallocatoed space | 09:16 |
Pumpernickel | As opposed to |--hda5--|--something else--|--free space--| | 09:17 |
bulio | there isnt right now | 09:17 |
bulio | it goes swap---/---unallocated----/dev/hda5 | 09:17 |
hyper_ch | that should be ok | 09:17 |
bulio | but where is the option to extend hda5? | 09:18 |
bulio | wait, encompassing all the partitions is "extended", which is /dev/hda2 | 09:19 |
bulio | it is the size of my harddisk | 09:19 |
hyper_ch | b ulio can't you modifi /dev/hda5/ | 09:19 |
bulio | I think I need to partition the unallocated space first | 09:20 |
bulio | I'm partitioning it to ext3 | 09:20 |
hyper_ch | bulio: right-click /dev/hda5 | 09:20 |

bulio | *new | 09:26 |
hyper_ch | because if something messes up... the data is gone... | 09:27 |
hyper_ch | and once you have backups... you can easily also delete the /dev/hda5 one and create it new ;) | 09:27 |
bulio | yeah | 09:27 |
hyper_ch | but actually, I dunno why you can enlarge the partition.... | 09:28 |

maxamillion | adam0509: you can just go into the window manager tweaks settings in the settings manager and uncheck the check boxes about the transparency, play your game and then re-check when you are done | 10:02 |
adam0509 | 1) They're is no "box" but only bar | 10:03 |
adam0509 | 2) Panel use transparency too | 10:03 |
adam0509 | (and panel don't have box but only bar) | 10:04 |
maxamillion | adam0509: oh ... huh, sure does ... my mistake | 10:05 |

stanks | hello | 10:20 |
maxamillion | hi | 10:21 |
DaBeowulf | lo o/ | 10:21 |
stanks | i need some help with my sound card | 10:21 |
artabrahao | hi, when I type sudo su appears must be setuid root | 10:21 |
stanks | i was on ubuntu forums but everything i have found didn't solve the problem | 10:21 |
stanks | i can play mp3's, watch movies, etc. all with sound | 10:21 |
stanks | but when i run xdtv (for watching tv) there is no sound | 10:22 |
stanks | recording from xdtv saves sound too, but when i only watch tv there is nos sound | 10:22 |
stanks | i tried with latest realtek-linux-audiopack but again no sound in xdtv | 10:23 |
stanks | anyone have any idea about this | 10:24 |
maxamillion | artabrahao: why would you need to sudo su? | 10:24 |
maxamillion | stanks: there is probably just a setting in xdtv thats not pointing to the right sound device, that happened to me before with gxine | 10:25 |
vidd_laptop | stanks, is it possible that another app is grabbing your sound card? | 10:25 |
artabrahao | hi, when I type sudo su appears must be setuid root thing I user chmod in / in the wrong form | 10:26 |
stanks | vidd_laptop: no | 10:27 |
stanks | maxamillion: what setting? i didn't found anything where i can change alsa or oss or else | 10:27 |
maxamillion | artabrahao: why would you need to sudo su? | 10:27 |
maxamillion | stanks: i dunno, i've never used xdtv | 10:28 |
stanks | btw after i install and restart my comp mplayer starts without sound too (alsa set as deafult -ao) | 10:28 |
stanks | after i install realtek-linux-audiopack | 10:29 |
stanks | i have | 10:29 |
stanks | Card: HDA NVidia | 10:29 |
stanks | Chip: Realtek ALC888 | 10:29 |
stanks | hmmm....i tried xdtv with oss but no sound again | 10:32 |
stanks | :( | 10:32 |

DaBeowulf | Okay here is an easy one: How does a full path specification look in Linux? >_< | 10:43 |
maxamillion | DaBeowulf: /home/userName/Desktop/someFile.txt | 10:45 |
DaBeowulf | So just beginning with a slash? | 10:45 |
DaBeowulf | Damn I think I tried that.. | 10:45 |
DaBeowulf | There's no C:\ equivalent? | 10:46 |
maxamillion | DaBeowulf: / is the C:\ equivalent | 10:47 |
maxamillion | DaBeowulf: / = root directory .... C:\ = some alienated stupid concept microsoft came up with that essentially translates to "root directory" | 10:48 |
DaBeowulf | And when I just end in a path that'd look like this /home or /home/ | 10:48 |
maxamillion | DaBeowulf: either will work | 10:51 |
maxamillion | DaBeowulf: /home/ is more formal though | 10:51 |
