| j1mc | Wolfcastle: no, there's a separate application. | 02:39 |

| magic_ninja | j1mc: i would like to know who runs the channel so i can go about getting myself unbanned because i don't believe there is a reason for it | 05:31 |
| test3r | ive installed with 128 | 05:31 |
| magic_ninja | its a pain | 05:31 |
| Jester45 | a live cd of xubuntu need 128 to run and 192 to install | 05:31 |
| magic_ninja | 128 isn't much ram | 05:31 |
| test3r | but then again ive installed slack from floppy | 05:31 |
| Jester45 | at least that what they say | 05:31 |
| test3r | so im not sure it matters | 05:31 |
| magic_ninja | Jester45: not if u strip down the install | 05:31 |
| j1mc | Jester45: those are old specs. it needs more than 192 to run the live cd. | 05:31 |
| vidd | test3r, try turning off acpi | 05:32 |
| test3r | i have ~248 MB of PC100 RAM in it | 05:32 |
| test3r | acpi said it needed force | 05:32 |
| j1mc | test3r: i recommend trying out the alternate install cd if you want to install xubuntu on that machine | 05:32 |
| test3r | would it make a dif if i cut it out altogether from bootline of the livecd? | 05:32 |
| vidd | i would try it... | 05:32 |
| test3r | you think it will be able to bring up a terminal, then? | 05:33 |
| vidd | and if that dont work, use the alt or the mini cd | 05:33 |
| test3r | kus it coulnt launch TTY to set itself up. | 05:33 |
| test3r | OK i will look up the argument to boot without acpi | 05:33 |
| Jester45 | j1mc, well... i tried feisty on a 120mb live cd so... is the "new" rating pertaining to gusty | 05:33 |
| vidd | if the alt cd cant boot...you might have to try an "alternative install method" | 05:34 |
| test3r | well the box might not even b able to run X all that gr8 neway | 05:34 |

| test3r | is the rate of boot any higher on old-old-end machines? | 05:35 |
| test3r | vidd? | 05:35 |

| test3r | .. | 05:36 |
| test3r | and its got 98 on it that i could tweek | 05:36 |

| Jester45 | well it *might* save some of the computer if you could get some water quickly after | 06:20 |
| jrsims | I just ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and restarted. but everything looks the same? | 06:20 |
| jrsims | I had edgy | 06:20 |
| Jester45 | and thats if the water doesnt break it also because the liquor wouldnt instaly burn... so it might give you a second but then its a bigger fire after that | 06:21 |
| test3r | hahahaha, yeah id say liquor would be the bad choice to put out a computer fire with | 06:21 |
| test3r | my objective with throwing my drink at it is just to keep anything Else from burning | 06:22 |
| test3r | like, the house | 06:22 |
| test3r | u can buy a new puter a LOT cheaper | 06:22 |
| jrsims | hey, any xubuntu users here? | 06:23 |
| Jester45 | idk some computer are pricey and some house are cheap :) | 06:23 |
| jrsims | I just ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and restarted. but everything looks the same? | 06:23 |
| test3r | there miht be some of them lurking about, jrsims | 06:23 |
| test3r | ;) | 06:23 |
| Jester45 | jrsims, did you edit your sources.list and apt-get update | 06:23 |
| Pumpernickel | Imagine that... Xubuntu users in #xubuntu. | 06:23 |
| jrsims | ah... no | 06:23 |
| test3r | =O !!!!! Wait ? Where am I ? | 06:23 |
| test3r | =D | 06:24 |
| === __Krush [n=chatzill@85.232.198.131] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| jrsims | so the steps to upgrade from edgy to feisty are??? | 06:24 |
| test3r | i usedthe cd | 06:24 |
| Jester45 | edit /etc/sources/.list and change your current version to feisty or edgy then apt-get update | 06:24 |
| Jester45 | then you can dist-upgrade | 06:24 |
| jrsims | weird. So what was apt doing when I ran dist-upgrade without changing sources? | 06:25 |
| Jester45 | yea change all the edgy words in the sources.list to feisty then update and youll be ready | 06:25 |
| Jester45 | trying to get the lasted edgy stuff | 06:25 |
| jrsims | so really, dist-upgrade doesn't really come in to play anywhere? | 06:25 |
| Jester45 | dist-upgrade is just a smarter way of upgrade | 06:26 |
| jrsims | how is it different? | 06:26 |
| jrsims | and should I always use that then? | 06:26 |
| Jester45 | it does if you changinf versions or kernel | 06:26 |
| Pumpernickel | You can also use the update-manager. It's actually recommended over apt-get now - seems it has better conflict and dependency tracking. | 06:26 |
| jrsims | ok, well i will use update-manager | 06:27 |
| test3r | if updatemanager doesnt work too | 06:27 |
| Jester45 | jrsims, the only time you need to use it is when apt- says some some upgrades are held back | 06:27 |
| test3r | you can always boot recovery | 06:27 |
| test3r | and try cli options | 06:27 |
| Pumpernickel | It also shouldn't crash, which was an issue around Dapper->Edgy. | 06:27 |
| test3r | such as apt-get | 06:27 |
| jrsims | ok | 06:27 |
| jrsims | looks like I need to quit everything to run this. so thanks for the help, and see ya later! | 06:28 |
| test3r | update-manager? heck the screensaver goes with the updates going in here | 06:28 |
| test3r | id b tempted to actually run something else. | 06:29 |
| Jester45 | :) | 06:29 |
| test3r | ;p | 06:29 |
| Jester45 | i do untill it starts installing | 06:29 |
| Jester45 | but when its downloading i do things | 06:29 |
| Jester45 | but course now with my l33t skills i have seprate partitions and just upgrade with cd + dcript | 06:30 |
| test3r | yeah you shouldnt have the pak up its actualy updating by install at the sam time. just downloading pax obviously isnt changing anything | 06:30 |
| Jester45 | script* | 06:30 |
| test3r | why dont u jus get ur pax out of ur /var/apt/cache ? | 06:31 |
| === test3r np> maaazystarrrrrrrrr | ||
| Jester45 | ??? using a script is better because you get the newest stuff | 06:32 |
| test3r | OK im confused- are you making a test install on the other partition? what IS the point of the other partition? and how is that dif than the live cd? and why is new better than stable? | 06:33 |
| Jester45 | its simple first, edit sources.list to include all wanted repos second apt-get update | 06:33 |
| Jester45 | third, remove unwanted things. forth install wanted things. and last update | 06:34 |
| Jester45 | new is better because you get new stuff. at lease for me | 06:34 |
| Jester45 | and... i use the alt cd because its simpler and faster | 06:35 |
| test3r | it could b Faster. | 06:35 |
| test3r | if i had a number sequence i could put at boot prompt | 06:35 |
| Jester45 | and the point is that i can keep many configs and /home stuff but yet can have a fresh install | 06:35 |
| Jester45 | no im saying that i dont upgrade to new versions | 06:36 |
| Jester45 | i use a cd to install | 06:36 |
| test3r | oicu have your /home and other app specific dirs on the other partition | 06:36 |
| test3r | and the first is the os | 06:36 |
| test3r | yeah i was thinking about doing that, then i went with the complete other dist option on this notebook. | 06:37 |
| Jester45 | but i use a 2nd partition to store stuff that i dont want to format so that after the upgrade its like i have a fresh system but with my configs still there | 06:37 |
| test3r | so it has XP, xubuntu, and nubuntu on it's HDD. | 06:37 |
| Jester45 | nubuntu ? | 06:37 |
| test3r | yes - it's for security auditing of networks. | 06:38 |
| Jester45 | net ubuntu ? | 06:38 |
| === kalikiana has two 5gb root partitions and some ~30gb partitions for data, one might be home. That's easy. :D | ||
| test3r | ithink its short for network buntu yes | 06:38 |
| test3r | uses flux | 06:38 |
| test3r | i had to hak grub manually and pass it a UUID for it to start up | 06:39 |
| test3r | After managing to get it onto the hdd | 06:39 |
| test3r | because the installer is, well, non-existant. | 06:39 |
| Jester45 | this is a stupid question probley but gusty has a live cd right? i just figured i would after before searching for it | 06:42 |
| test3r | but thats the way it should be honestly. if you cant get that up and going, you shouldnt be using the tools On it probably | 06:42 |
| test3r | dunno | 06:43 |
| test3r | do you mean Gutsy? | 06:49 |
| test3r | gutsy gibbon>? | 06:49 |

| Chikubu | but win98 is | 07:30 |
| test3r | it Should b find with win98 no problems at all | 07:31 |
| Chikubu | how can i launch grub manualy, were does it park | 07:31 |
| Jester45 | well... it seems like you didnt install it | 07:32 |
| Chikubu | is it on cd | 07:32 |
| Jester45 | because it failed to execute the install | 07:32 |
| test3r | the directory /var/cache/apt is where it might be right after it has just tried to install | 07:33 |
| test3r | if you can get to root | 07:33 |
| test3r | and cp that pak into ur hdd | 07:33 |
| test3r | then root into your install | 07:33 |
| test3r | u can get it on ^ ^ | 07:33 |
| test3r | put it in the same spot | 07:34 |
| test3r | then when you run for it to install that pack, it will get it off there | 07:34 |
| Chikubu | its not in /apt | 07:34 |
| test3r | oh wait the connect isnt the prob- my bad, b | 07:34 |
| test3r | not right now | 07:34 |
| test3r | immediately after it has been installed / tried to install | 07:34 |
| test3r | not so sure about the Tried part, there | 07:35 |
| Chikubu | which was just then | 07:35 |
| test3r | but its a good chance | 07:35 |
| test3r | why dont you just get the pack while running thelive cd | 07:36 |
| test3r | is there a way to set it up from there, or get it....,,, hmmmm | 07:36 |
| Pumpernickel | You can run grub-install from the cd. If it doesn't install, it should at least give a useful error. | 07:36 |
| test3r | , heh, see i knew it was something i wasnt thinking about correctly | 07:37 |
| test3r | and pumpernickel, it will effect the HDD then, and not just the ram, at that point? | 07:38 |
| Chikubu | ok let me try off the cd | 07:38 |
| test3r | do you have to pass it anything before? | 07:38 |
| Chikubu | help system needs some work dead links everywhere | 07:39 |
| Pumpernickel | Before, no, just run it. It will affect the HDD, once you confirm what you want done. | 07:40 |
| Chikubu | can u use Thunar to mount a cd | 07:41 |
| Chikubu | does live cd mount cd as /mnt/cdrom ? | 07:48 |
| test3r | yeah- go in and do "ls" | 07:48 |
| test3r | er not itself | 07:49 |
| test3r | thats once its going | 07:49 |
| test3r | im not even sure if this install is worth saving thats on this computer im working on | 07:50 |

| logmein | how much ram you got? | 09:37 |
| logmein | not so much swap that's a bit too much | 09:38 |

| logmein | for regular desktop use x2 the ram it has but stop at 1gig | 09:39 |

| Kjellviz | i made 2gb now :P | 09:39 |
| logmein | and it won't be exact because it sizes it so you get max performance out of hard drive space for the file system type | 09:39 |
| Kjellviz | but i guess it doesent hurt | 09:39 |
| Kjellviz | its not like i need the space for something else | 09:40 |
| logmein | I'm using so far 11G and that's with a shitload of installer files, movies, pictures etc | 09:41 |
| logmein | I also tend to use dev files for compiling a lot | 09:41 |
| Kjellviz | this comp will be used for surfing only | 09:41 |
| logmein | Kjellviz: you can do a lot of stuff with 256mb | 09:41 |
| Kjellviz | ye, but it will be used for surfing only ^^ | 09:42 |

| Pumpernickel | unikon: What maker? | 09:45 |
| Kjellviz | logmein: dunno im still struggling with install (but i got it working in pclinuxos using ndiswrapper) | 09:45 |
| Pumpernickel | (I'm just thinking of bug 68291.) | 09:45 |

| Kjellviz | the partitioner has problems with my hdd for some reason | 09:45 |
| logmein | Kjellviz: well grab ndiswrapper from http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/ and compile it, the one in repository is ancient | 09:46 |
| logmein | they also have a list of cards and what driver to use so grab the windows one and install it with wine which again might want to go to winehq to get: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/ubuntu/feisty/wine_0.9.38~winehq0~ubuntu~7.04-1_i386.deb | 09:47 |
| Kjellviz | aha thanks! | 09:47 |
| Kjellviz | does the newer version have graphical interface ? | 09:48 |
| Kjellviz | cos it did in pclinuxos | 09:48 |
| logmein | you don't need a graphical interface if it takes only 3 commands to get going lmao | 09:48 |
| Kjellviz | ye i know | 09:48 |
| Kjellviz | but ive had SO much troubles getting it to work before | 09:48 |
| Kjellviz | since im linux illiterate | 09:48 |
| Kjellviz | :P | 09:49 |
| logmein | just remember -i -m modprobe restart | 09:49 |
| logmein | then fiddle with the wireless switch | 09:49 |
| Kjellviz | this graphical thingy in pclos was a breeze, it asked for my win driver, installed it and boom i was online | 09:49 |
| Kjellviz | daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, the installer partitioner in fiesty sux | 09:51 |
| Kjellviz | argh | 09:51 |
| Pumpernickel | What's the problem? | 09:51 |
| Kjellviz | it keeps giving me errors that it cant mount a partition | 09:52 |
| Kjellviz | and if there has been a previous installation of linux on the hdd | 09:52 |
| Kjellviz | using the "use the whole hdd" will give me a grub error when booted after install | 09:52 |
| Pumpernickel | Grub can be reinstalled and reconfigured during the Feisty install - that shouldn't be an issue. | 09:53 |
| Pumpernickel | As for mounting the partitions, you're probably facing bug 107259. | 09:54 |

| Pumpernickel | What's the error message? | 09:55 |
| Kjellviz | ive had error 15 and error 24 | 09:56 |

| logmein | ah yeah I had same problem since I improperly installed over windows ntfs partition | 10:00 |
| logmein | think it thought I was trying to dual boot or something | 10:00 |
| Kjellviz | ye | 10:00 |
| Kjellviz | only this was when pclinuxos was installed previously | 10:01 |
| Kjellviz | not windwos | 10:01 |
| Kjellviz | but same thing | 10:01 |
| logmein | just do it manually, specify which is / directory, tell it format all them, and set it to 512 swap :) | 10:07 |
| Kjellviz | ye that failed as well | 10:08 |
| Kjellviz | it could not create ext3 on the partition i chose | 10:09 |
| Kjellviz | for some fubar reason | 10:09 |
| Kjellviz | btw, i cant set it to format swap partition, but thats normal innit ? | 10:12 |

| TheSheep | Hekos: clear the ~/.cache/sessions | 05:47 |
| vidd_laptop | did you disable the "Save Session for Future Logins" or logout using a method other then the "Quit" app? | 05:47 |
| vidd_laptop | TheSheep, your too fast for me | 05:47 |
| vidd_laptop | =] | 05:47 |
| TheSheep | vidd_laptop: I just got home | 05:48 |
| Hekos | well, seems wierd that it does the same on live cd | 05:48 |
| vidd_laptop | yeah...one glance, and BANG instant answer [most likely the correct one] ! | 05:48 |
| TheSheep | vidd_laptop: for every release, there is like 4 or 5 most common problems with ready solutions | 05:49 |
| vidd_laptop | Hekos, there was probably some issue with the live cd loading the autoload of the panel...and that was passed on when you installed | 05:49 |
| Hekos | ok | 05:50 |
| TheSheep | nice, googleearth in the repos :) | 05:50 |
| vidd_laptop | TheSheep, in gutsy? | 05:51 |
| vidd_laptop | cuzz i dont see it in fiesty | 05:52 |
| TheSheep | vidd_laptop: yes | 05:52 |
| TheSheep | vidd_laptop: and user-mode-linux | 05:52 |
| vidd_laptop | user-mode? | 05:52 |
| TheSheep | vidd_laptop: linux kernel that runs in user mode, like normal application | 05:53 |
| vidd_laptop | interesting....user-mode-linux-doc is in fiesty repo, but not the app! | 05:54 |
| vidd_laptop | what kernel is gutsy using? | 05:54 |
| Hekos | TheSheep, works, ty =) | 05:55 |
| TheSheep | vidd_laptop: so far 2.6.22 | 05:55 |
| vidd_laptop | point 02 better then fiesty | 05:58 |
| === vidd_laptop wonders why they dont keep the kernel up to date on the stable relieases | ||
| TheSheep | vidd_laptop: because they'd have to test everything from start | 06:00 |
| TheSheep | vidd_laptop: and that would basically be a new release | 06:00 |
| vidd_laptop | really? | 06:00 |
| vidd_laptop | just for a kernel upgrade? | 06:00 |
| TheSheep | vidd_laptop: kernel+modules+init scripts+udev | 06:00 |
| vidd_laptop | ah....basically "everything the distro is built on" | 06:01 |
| TheSheep | vidd_laptop: plus a bunch of things depending on the modules, like graphics drivers for X, scanners, printers, tablets | 06:01 |

| vidd_laptop | have you noticed that the live cd almost always has more issues then the alt? | 06:02 |
| vidd_laptop | and is that because more ppl use it, or because there are more things that CAN go wrong? | 06:03 |
| TheSheep | vidd_laptop: that's because it has less testers -- most users just upgrade their existing installations | 06:03 |
