| vidd_laptop | if your sudoer file gets corrupt, how can you fix it? | 03:49 |
| vidd_laptop | without reinstalling? | 03:50 |
| j1mc | vidd_laptop: did you try sudo visudo? | 03:52 |
| vidd_laptop | got the same error message | 03:53 |
| j1mc | what is the error message? | 03:53 |
| vidd_laptop | >>> sudoers file: syntax error, line 20 <<< sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 20 | 03:54 |
| TheSheep | vidd_laptop: well, go to the line 20 of that file and look what is wrong | 03:54 |

| j1mc | vidd_laptop: how did it get corrupted? | 03:56 |
| vidd_laptop | uhm....mistype | 03:57 |
| vidd_laptop | was looking at the file.... | 03:57 |
| TheSheep | vidd_laptop: well, you have to get into root acocunt somehow | 03:57 |
| TheSheep | vidd_laptop: recovery mode is one way | 03:58 |
| vidd_laptop | but will it work with sudo out of commission and no root passwrd? | 03:59 |
| TheSheep | vidd_laptop: doesn't recovery mode give you the root console right after boot? | 04:00 |
| vidd_laptop | idk...i never used it b4 | 04:00 |
| TheSheep | vidd_laptop: if not there are other methods -- passing init=/bin/bash to kernel options or booting from livecd | 04:00 |
| vidd_laptop | anything that can be done remotely? | 04:01 |
| TheSheep | vidd_laptop: find a security hole and exploit it ;) | 04:01 |
| j1mc | vidd_laptop: visudo validates the sudoers file prior to saving it. i admit to using sudo nano /etc/sudoers file previously myself, but ... not anymore. | 04:01 |
| TheSheep | vidd_laptop: you *really* wouldn't want it to be possible remotely :) | 04:01 |
| vidd_laptop | oh sweet..... | 04:02 |
| vidd_laptop | i DID make a user that aliased root.... | 04:03 |

| pinkwerks | Hi, just booted up xubuntu 7.04 live cd, xfce4-panel fails to start... is this fixed in a newer (beta) version of the cd? | 04:11 |
| pinkwerks | i can start it manually just fine, but i'm trying to pass this off to my mom | 04:11 |
| j1mc | pinkwerks: what are the specs on the system? | 04:12 |
| pinkwerks | dell laptop, inspiron 9300 | 04:12 |
| TheSheep | pinkwerks: I think the problem only appears on some computers | 04:12 |
| TheSheep | pinkwerks: let me check the bug report | 04:12 |
| pinkwerks | k was, looking thru the bugs but didn't find anything, then again maybe i didn't query it right :-P | 04:12 |
| TheSheep | pinkwerks: I can't get used to using this search -- it almost seem self-aware and malicious | 04:13 |
| pinkwerks | also, if I close the terminal which i lanuch `xfce4-panel &` from it kills the panel - weird. | 04:14 |
| TheSheep | pinkwerks: that's normal -- the processes form a tree in linux | 04:14 |
| TheSheep | pinkwerks: if you kill one process, you also kill all its children | 04:14 |
| pinkwerks | um, but i backgrounded it... | 04:15 |
| j1mc | pinkwerks: an inspiron 9300... does it have a PIII or PIV or... ? and how much RAM? | 04:17 |
| pinkwerks | j1mc : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz, MemTotal: 1035696 kB | 04:17 |
| pinkwerks | j1mc : "centrino" not sure what that falls under | 04:18 |

| ubotu | Launchpad bug 53897 in xfce4-panel "Disappearing panels Xubuntu dapper" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/53897 | 04:18 |
| pinkwerks | TheSheep : would I be 'better off' using v6. (dapper) or just have her double click the 'install' on the desktop and be over with it? just trying to replace winxp on an old computer | 04:20 |
| TheSheep | pinkwerks: it all depends on what she uses it for | 04:20 |
| pinkwerks | it's possible that this won't even occur on the desktop system she'll be putting it on - well just email and web | 04:20 |
| TheSheep | pinkwerks: many times users feel hurt by forced transition to linux, and will hate it | 04:20 |
| pinkwerks | TheSheep, yah well as long as it comes up with firefox and thunderbird that's all she'll need | 04:21 |
| TheSheep | pinkwerks: I'm sure that even if the panels don't apper at the forst boot, it can be easily fixed | 04:22 |
| TheSheep | appear* | 04:22 |
| pinkwerks | TheSheep: i'll try this disk in the target system, hopefully it's a non-issue, thanks for the inputs | 04:22 |
| pinkwerks | ps - slick stuff! | 04:22 |
| TheSheep | pinkwerks: hmm... that duplicate bug shows that the panel disappearing happens often when yuo have faulty cd | 04:26 |
| TheSheep | pinkwerks: have you tested the cd for defects? | 04:26 |
| pinkwerks | TheSheep : I did the test before i used it :-/ | 04:26 |
| TheSheep | pinkwerks: I'd advice doing it before install anywyas | 04:26 |
| TheSheep | ah, ok | 04:26 |
| TheSheep | pinkwerks: found out why the bug search is so malicious on me -- it won't display duplicate bugs | 04:30 |
| TheSheep | pinkwerks: by default, that is | 04:30 |
| pinkwerks | TheSheep: well I don't have much else to add, other than I hope it doesn't bork on the other machine - should I add some hardware info or anything to one of the bugs? | 04:30 |
| TheSheep | pinkwerks: might be useful. Even a simple 'mee too' sometimes helps | 04:31 |
| pinkwerks | Thanks again! | 04:32 |
| pinkwerks | Is there a handy command that will some up my system config for bug reports? | 04:37 |

| juicyfruity | hello, how do I install fonts in xubuntu? | 07:23 |
| Ghostvirus | tyler__: fun's over | 07:23 |
| tyler__ | juicyfruity: /etc/X11/xorg.conf edit it and play around in Settings under menu | 07:23 |
| Ghostvirus | juicyfruity: put them in ~/.fonts | 07:24 |
| juicyfruity | why should I edit xorg for fonts | 07:24 |
| juicyfruity | ...... | 07:24 |
| tyler__ | I dunno depends on what sort of fanciful fonts you aiming for ;) | 07:24 |
| ceil420 | what reasons would Xorg have for using up 35% of my 512mb ram? (note: i did design a theme earlier and went back and forth testing it, but that was hours ago) | 07:24 |
| juicyfruity | thankyou, Ghostvirus, I was looking for some sort of frontend like in gnome! | 07:25 |
| Ghostvirus | juicyfruity: no problem. if you want to install fonts system-wide, toss them into /usr/share/fonts | 07:25 |
| tyler__ | ceil420: if nothing else is using the ram then why not let it have 35%? I mean so long as it can be removed later for other apps | 07:26 |
| ceil420 | tyler__, *can* it be removed later, when other apps need it? | 07:26 |
| tyler__ | ceil420: could try ctrl alt backspace to reset xorg maybe | 07:26 |
| ceil420 | tyler__, i'm trying to avoid that, cos i have an IRC bot running and it's a pain in the ass to start back up ;x | 07:27 |
| tyler__ | ceil420: yeah I'm usually got my 512mb used up all the way and then I play a really big program and rest gets compressed down to near nothing its hard to get correct reading of ram usage | 07:27 |
| ceil420 | (i really should give it a "on start" script to handle that crap) | 07:27 |
| ceil420 | as long as it'll hand over the RAM when other stuff needs it, t's okay i guess | 07:27 |
| ceil420 | i just noticed that my RAM usage was at 72% total instead of it's usual 52% :x | 07:27 |
| tyler__ | ceil420: yeah it might slowly deteriorate over time back down to 50 some | 07:28 |
| ceil420 | at first i thought it was Firefox raping my ram more than usual, then i looked at conky and it showed Xorg on top >< | 07:28 |
| tyler__ | ceil420: what drivers you using for graphics anyway? | 07:29 |
| ceil420 | uhm | 07:29 |
| ceil420 | nvidia glx? :x | 07:29 |
| Ghostvirus | ceil420: i constantly have a problem with xorg eating my cpu | 07:29 |
| tyler__ | kool I like nvidia cards | 07:29 |
| ceil420 | not 100% sure; i had problems with it a few months ago | 07:29 |
| ceil420 | i've been through like three of 'em | 07:29 |
| ceil420 | Ghostvirus, Xorg never touches my CPU, and it's never this bad on my ram :o | 07:30 |
| tyler__ | ghostvirus: if you don't have direct rendering setup that usually happens unless its a really good driver you got going | 07:30 |
| ceil420 | usually my total CPU usage is between 2 and 8% when i'm not doin' anything (of 1.7ghz) | 07:30 |
| ceil420 | usually my ram tops out at like 55% :x now even with Firefox closed it's at 62% | 07:31 |
| tyler__ | ceil420: hmm there are hard drive things that comp usually does when its idle, like update search database, finish up ext3 journals, and shuffle about memory | 07:31 |
| Ghostvirus | tyler__: i'm running on the ati driver, direct rendering and everything, on a 64 MB Radeon Mobility 7500. no idea why xorg pushes my cpu usage up so much | 07:31 |
| ceil420 | with Xorg accounting for a (steady, at least) 35.83% of that | 07:31 |
| tyler__ | ghostvirus: same card here in laptop I'm on, its a dell latitude c640 | 07:31 |

| tyler__ | I was kind of hoping on some current development topics | 07:40 |
| tyler__ | xfce is awesome :) | 07:40 |
| tyler__ | and most say linux is for power users so I'm hoping xfce stays true to its nature | 07:40 |

| test3r | but i AM pretty tired . i think i have to sleep, wake, sleep then wake for my work shift | 07:49 |
| Ghostvirus | test3r: work sucks :( | 07:49 |
| test3r | its just tough switching over to night shift for my body what whatever reason | 07:50 |
| tyler__ | ghostvirus: I never liked it either, why not just put tiny desktop icons there? like cut desktop in half bottom has small icons | 07:50 |
| test3r | yeah u could fit alot more in the same place | 07:50 |
| tyler__ | processing refresh on that would be a mess | 07:50 |
| Ghostvirus | tyler__: i dunno. i've always liked the 1 panel on he bottom setup, like windows | 07:50 |
| Ghostvirus | i sound like a heretic | 07:51 |
| tyler__ | yeah! if panel is on top its like having mouse buttons reversed to left handed | 07:51 |
| tyler__ | can't function right | 07:51 |
| test3r | i stil use two pannel default setup | 07:51 |
| tyler__ | besides you have to break your neck looking up at screen and tilting laptop up | 07:51 |
| === TheSheep_ likes the panel on the right | ||
| test3r | with a slew of usermade icons on the top lol | 07:51 |
| tyler__ | hey anyone here have an irc client that outputs new posts on top? | 07:52 |
| tyler__ | then why have a desktop like that!? | 07:52 |
| Ghostvirus | my setup is pretty minimal. i'm running at 1024x768 so space is precious | 07:52 |
| TheSheep_ | tyler__: because it's *your* way that's backwards ;) | 07:52 |
| tyler__ | nah I sort of like having a hidden panel that pops out on the right | 07:52 |
| TheSheep_ | tyler__: you're just conditioned | 07:52 |

| Dual | hello every1 | 10:15 |
| Dual | im trying to format/install xubntu feisty over ubuntu edgy! the instalation reach 54% and hangs there! | 10:15 |
| Dual | now i cant start up with xp nor linux! | 10:15 |
| Dual | at boot it gives me grub error 15 | 10:16 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: what is it doing at 54%? | 10:21 |
| TheSheep_ | 'generating anthy dict'? | 10:21 |
| Dual | copying files | 10:21 |
| Dual | and stops | 10:21 |
| Dual | there | 10:21 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: have you checked the cd for defects? | 10:22 |
| Dual | ya i did | 10:22 |
| Dual | it had one error | 10:22 |
| Dual | so i burned it again and again and again | 10:22 |
| Dual | did it 5 times! | 10:22 |
| TheSheep_ | !md5 | 10:22 |
| Dual | ii did it as well | 10:23 |
| Dual | they dont have the hash of xubuntu 7.04 | 10:23 |
| Dual | the latest is 6.. | 10:23 |
| ubotu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 10:23 |
| TheSheep_ | how come? | 10:23 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: well, if the cd is broken, there is small chance it will work :/ | 10:23 |
| Dual | TheSheep_ check it | 10:23 |
| Dual | TheSheep_ its not! thts the thing.. | 10:24 |
| Dual | i tried 4 | 10:24 |
| Dual | and i even went and bought a new 100 cd pack just to b sure | 10:24 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/feisty/release/MD5SUMS | 10:24 |
| Dual | ok TheSheep_ just a sec lemme check | 10:25 |
| Dual | k its calculating | 10:25 |
| Dual | meanwhile.. i downloaded the iso on 2 seperate occasions! using a download manager | 10:26 |
| Dual | would tht cause a prob? | 10:26 |
| TheSheep_ | shouldn't | 10:26 |
| Dual | hmm | 10:26 |
| Dual | theyre different :S | 10:26 |
| Dual | tried the 2 i386 theyre both different! | 10:27 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: look on the bright side -- your cd burner is ok :) | 10:28 |
| Dual | lol | 10:28 |
| Dual | ya well wanna use my desktop in the near future though.. | 10:28 |
| Dual | cant even format with xp! | 10:28 |
| Dual | it shuts down by itself when i try to delete the C partition | 10:28 |
| Dual | im thinking of zapping it | 10:28 |
| Dual | but i have 9 gb of IMPORTANt data over it :S | 10:29 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: how long would a new download take? | 10:29 |
| Dual | forever | 10:29 |
| Dual | 15 kb.. :S | 10:30 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: you can try downloading DSL or some other small distro, prepare partitions with it and then install xp (just for the time being) | 10:30 |
| Dual | i could do it at work though theres download limitation | 10:30 |
| Dual | ya i could do tht | 10:30 |
| Dual | how small is "small distro" ? | 10:30 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: there are linux dikettes :) | 10:30 |
| Dual | am a newbie when it comes to linux! i tried ubuntu and then decided to switch to xubuntu and all this mess happened | 10:31 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: you don't have the ubuntu cd anymore? | 10:31 |
| Dual | no | 10:32 |
| Dual | bought the pc with ubuntu allready installed | 10:32 |
| TheSheep_ | always check the checksum before burning, and the cd for defects before installing -- this simply saves time and hassle | 10:32 |
| Dual | true | 10:32 |
| Dual | i shouldve though i was a bit excited bout the xubuntu issue since my desktoip is a low end pc.. | 10:33 |
| Dual | and ubuntu were kinda making it hang every now and then | 10:33 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: maybe you have a LUG nearby and someone could help you with his livecd | 10:33 |
| Dual | a frind has red hat | 10:33 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: or there is a magazine that has some linux attached to it | 10:33 |
| Dual | anyway could u guide me to the "small distro" u told me about! | 10:34 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: better this than nothing | 10:34 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: let me see what there is -- I haven't checked recently | 10:34 |
| Dual | ok thank you:) srry if im bothering you with this | 10:34 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: ok, there seem to be no diskette-based distros recently :/ | 10:39 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: the smallest I see are aboiut 50MB | 10:39 |
| Dual | well thts gr8 | 10:40 |
| Dual | its perfect i could get it in 30 min | 10:40 |
| Dual | could u provide me a link plz | 10:40 |
| TheSheep_ | http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/download.html | 10:40 |
| Dual | thank you | 10:41 |
| Dual | so i do the installation exactly like other distro right? | 10:41 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: this is a live cd | 10:41 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: it has an option to copy itself on the hard drive though | 10:41 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: it has a basic set of applications, including firefox | 10:42 |
| TheSheep_ | Dual: ain't pretty, but should do until you get something better | 10:42 |
| Dual | ya exactly | 10:42 |
| Dual | thank you | 10:42 |
| Dual | and once again sorry if i bothered | 10:43 |
| Dual | ill give it a try and if anythign came up ill get back ... | 10:43 |
| Dual | once again | 10:43 |
| Dual | thanks | 10:43 |
| TheSheep_ | no problem | 10:44 |

| MrMist | Hi all | 06:39 |
| MrMist | I'm wondering.. Previously I've installed XUbuntu with the standard settings. Now I've got a separate boot-partition, where I'd like GRUB to reside. How do I do this ? | 06:40 |
| Jester45 | i think grub resides in the Master Boot Record, aka hd0 | 06:41 |
| Jester45 | i think it has to stay there unless you use something else to point to the new location | 06:42 |
| MrMist | Hmm | 06:43 |
| MrMist | I've installed Gentoo from before, and there I made a separate partition for GRUB and the kernel | 06:43 |

| Jester45 | hey cellofellow vidd said its ok to run a test site on his server | 06:46 |
| cellofellow | Jester45: sweet. I'll do that a bit later, I have schoolwork first. | 06:47 |
| Jester45 | but, he erased his sudoers list :) so he cant make a ftp user right now | 06:47 |
| cellofellow | Jester45: so, do I have something like /home/cellofellow and vidd.us/~cellofellow available? | 06:47 |
| cellofellow | dang | 06:47 |
| Jester45 | yes | 06:48 |
| cellofellow | sounds like a livecd+chroot to the rescue situation. | 06:48 |
| Jester45 | yep, but its a headless server thats colocated that doesnt have a cd drive | 06:48 |
| dan40 | how do you throttle the cpu and HD? I heard that with Ubuntu you can do that. | 06:49 |
| MrMist | throttle the CPU ? | 06:49 |
| cellofellow | you need hardware that supports it | 06:49 |
| === cellofellow is now known as cello_busy | ||
| MrMist | I've got a Core Duo laptop, and it supports throttling only because the default operating speed is 1GHz/core (to save the battery) | 06:50 |
| dan40 | This is a laptop that I am interested in throttling | 06:50 |
| MrMist | It's automatic | 06:50 |
| Jester45 | !repeat | MrMist | 06:50 |
| ubotu | MrMist: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 06:50 |
| MrMist | Jester45: Huh ?? | 06:51 |
| dan40 | oh..I guess I was mistakin I thought you could lower the cycles on any app | 06:51 |
| Jester45 | eeer | 06:51 |
| Jester45 | thats for dan40 | 06:51 |
| MrMist | Jester45: Hehe.. OK :) | 06:52 |
| Jester45 | you can use load balancing or you can also limit the clock rate of a cpu | 06:52 |
| dan40 | ok, how do you limit the clock rate? | 06:52 |
| Jester45 | the number of level is called steppings | 06:53 |
| dan40 | yeah..thats what I read about...steppings | 06:53 |
| MrMist | Is there any pros or cons about having a separate boot-partition? | 06:53 |
| dan40 | I couldn't remember the terminology | 06:53 |
| MrMist | Wouldn't it make things easier if installing multiple Linux-versions f.eks. ? | 06:53 |
| Jester45 | run cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep stepping to see if you can use it | 06:54 |
| dan40 | !steppings | 06:54 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about steppings - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi | 06:54 |
| Jester45 | mrigns, you dont want to mix kernels unless you custom made them, ubuntu makes their own kernels redhat makes other | 06:54 |
| MrMist | Cool. My CPU does :D | 06:54 |
| dan40 | result ..steppings: 10 | 06:55 |
| Jester45 | then you can do 10 diffrent levels | 06:55 |
| Jester45 | whats the cpu | 06:55 |
| Jester45 | do cat /proc/cpuinfo to find out | 06:55 |
| dan40 | k...one sec | 06:56 |
| MrMist | Jester45: Yeah, I know. But having separate OS'es would work, right? One partition for XUbuntu, one for gentoo etc. Of course, the programs have to be installed separately for each OS | 06:56 |
| dan40 | result: Genuine Intel Pentium III 846.666 Mhz | 06:57 |
| MrMist | Still, only one version of GRUB could be run. | 06:57 |
| Jester45 | MrMist, yes, but each distro shouldnt use the same kernel because each distro makes their own kernels, the only reson to use the same kernel would be a extreme lack of space a custom kernel of your own making or the vanilla kernel | 06:57 |
| Jester45 | they can use the same grub | 06:58 |

| Jester45 | vidd erased his sudoers file :) | 07:00 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: why? | 07:01 |
| MrMist | Jester45: I'm not talking about using the same kernel, I can see that. Each OS would have it's own kernel. But the argument for putting the kernel into the boot-partition, might be to lessen the access time or something. Different kernels might reside in one partition, right? I could set GRUB to point to separate partitions for "/root" for each respective kernel | 07:01 |
| hyper_ch | btw, alinghi won today | 07:01 |
| dan40 | Jester45: ok if I now know that I can do ten steps, can I adjust that from the command line? | 07:01 |

| dan40 | Was that Americas cup? Luis Vuitton? | 07:03 |
| hyper_ch | America's Cup | 07:03 |
| dan40 | Oh snap..I didn't know that was going on | 07:03 |
| Jester45 | kafran, did you like the netsplit? | 07:03 |
| hyper_ch | dan40: well, here it's a big thing :) | 07:03 |
| dan40 | Where is here? I don't even know where the America's cup is being held this year? | 07:04 |
| MrMist | Jester45: I'm totally into the idea that precompiled OS'es saves a LOT of time. However, I need to have the possibility to play around with Gentoo as well. I'm doing lots of Gentoo-related stuff at work. | 07:04 |
| Jester45 | should be in america | 07:04 |
| hyper_ch | dan40: Valencia, Spain | 07:05 |
| Jester45 | MrMist, you can have more than one kernel in a partition just make sure gentoo doesnt write over ubuntu's or the other way around (maybe write protect the file?) | 07:05 |
| dan40 | ah...Val-enth-e-a | 07:05 |
| dan40 | I wish I had the money to go sailing in different places around the world | 07:06 |
| Jester45 | kafran, growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/path/to/file.iso | 07:06 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: america's cup is there where the last winning team came from | 07:06 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: and as you may know, it's a bit hard to have a sea regatta in Switzerland ^^ | 07:06 |
| dan40 | hehe | 07:07 |
| dan40 | very true | 07:07 |
| Jester45 | if i won i would say i lived in Antarctica so everony would have to go up there and freeze while i stay south and warm | 07:07 |
| hyper_ch | lake constance isn't quite suited for America's cup... but it would be fun | 07:08 |
| === grazie [n=grazie@88-111-19-64.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| MrMist | Jester45: It's easy, really. When compiling the kernel, Gentoo doesn't automatically put it in the /boot partition. One has to copy it there. So there's no real risk involved :D | 07:10 |
| dan40 | there was some talk about having it in San Francisco, where I used to live, many years ago. The bay has a huge sailing history and culture. It would be well received. | 07:10 |
| MrMist | "If you're going to saaaan fraaan siscooo" | 07:11 |
| dan40 | oh no ...not singing | 07:11 |
| MrMist | <- singing out loud | 07:11 |
| Jester45 | they should do it where i live, missouri the river would make the race fun | 07:12 |
| dan40 | I am sure everyone would jump at the chance to put their $100 million dollar boats in the river | 07:13 |
| Jester45 | yep :) | 07:13 |
| Jester45 | i would | 07:15 |
| MrMist | 100$ million? :| | 07:15 |
| MrMist | On BOATS? | 07:15 |
| Jester45 | not boats they spend it on a boat | 07:16 |
| dan40 | well they usually have a backup too. | 07:16 |
| MrMist | Either way... I'm just baffled by the simple amount of money involved | 07:17 |
| dan40 | It a big deal... | 07:17 |
| dan40 | The boats are SUPER high tech. The bleeding edge of design. | 07:18 |
| MrMist | Here I'm scratching my head about what to do.. Trying to get hold of an apartment in Oslo, but it seems to expensive for me... | 07:18 |
| MrMist | and that's like... 250-300k $ !? | 07:18 |
| MrMist | dan40: I don't doubt it. But it still seems a LOT of cash. | 07:19 |
| hyper_ch | I wouldn't say no to that cash | 07:20 |
| MrMist | I'm a math guy... I'm taking a masters degree in it:P And there's no denying the fact that money drives much of the research being done... | 07:20 |
| MrMist | BUT... the research for what? Creating faster boats? | 07:20 |
| MrMist | Or creating faster cars? (in the case of Formula1 etc.) | 07:21 |
| Jester45 | or intel making a 80 core cpu? | 07:21 |
| MrMist | Jester45: Now, THAT research I can understand :) But a CPU is more a tool than a new engine | 07:22 |
| dan40 | yes, popular hull design definately takes influence from America's cup designed boats. | 07:23 |
| MrMist | dan40: Jester45: Actually, I'm studying splines. The fundamental basis in designing boat hulls etc :P | 07:23 |
| dan40 | Most of the money, like formula 1, comes from Corp sponsors. In the cas of Alinghi, I think its british telecom and UBS | 07:24 |
| MrMist | dan40: Yeah. It probably does. Guess there's lots of money to be made by tuning engines new ways etc. too. | 07:27 |
| MrMist | One should be able to use some of it when making new engines etc. | 07:27 |
| dan40 | yep | 07:27 |
| dan40 | darn, the only thing I am finding on stepping uses Gnome | 07:28 |

| Enola_Gay | Does xubuntu have the same update manager like Ubuntu? | 08:02 |
| Jester45 | yes | 08:02 |
| Jester45 | its doesnt have the notifier but it still auto updates | 08:02 |
| Enola_Gay | Which mail client is used? Where can I see the main differences/features of Xubuntu? | 08:02 |
| Enola_Gay | How? | 08:03 |
| Jester45 | and haas the little program that you can manually check for updates | 08:03 |
| Jester45 | mozilla-thunardbird is used | 08:03 |
| Jester45 | thunderbird* | 08:03 |
| Enola_Gay | Ubuntu has an auto updater too but only for security updates if you activate it. | 08:03 |
| Enola_Gay | So how this works without notify? | 08:03 |
| Jester45 | it will auto install them but not tell you | 08:04 |
| === grazie prefers thunarbird :) | ||

| hyper_ch | dvd decrypter rocks :) | 08:12 |
| Jester45 | hyper_ch, you might want to look at synatic a bit more it has options to auto download and install | 08:14 |
| Jester45 | i like the auto download my self | 08:14 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: auto-install is not activated by default and neither is auto-download | 08:14 |
| hyper_ch | and then, I don't use synaptic ;) | 08:15 |
| Jester45 | yea... but it still has it | 08:15 |
| Jester45 | nor do i | 08:15 |
| Jester45 | i used it once | 08:15 |
| Jester45 | i was looking for games | 08:15 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: the way you said it it sounded like it will auto-download and auto-install | 08:15 |
| Jester45 | and it has a batter layout | 08:15 |
| Jester45 | there is 2 options | 08:15 |
| Jester45 | or 3 | 08:15 |
| Enola_Gay | auto updater is very important imho or at least notification | 08:15 |
| Jester45 | no auto anything auto downoad but no install or auto download and autoinstall | 08:16 |
| hyper_ch | Enola_Gay: auto-update isn't important | 08:16 |
| Enola_Gay | not for nerds and geeks | 08:16 |
| Jester45 | Enola_Gay, hyper_ch is right its not important at all | 08:16 |
| Enola_Gay | but for normal people | 08:16 |
| hyper_ch | Enola_Gay: I check everyday for updates... just a habit from the pre-releases where there are everyday updates :) | 08:16 |
| Jester45 | its a very nice addition | 08:16 |
| Enola_Gay | you are a nerd :-D | 08:16 |
| hyper_ch | Enola_Gay: hmmm, you use linux... that would qualify you as a geek | 08:16 |
| Jester45 | dependson how you are using "use linux" | 08:17 |
| Enola_Gay | I know, but I want to install Linux on Computers of normal people like my mother and so on :) | 08:17 |
| Jester45 | somepeople use linux without knowing that you replaced windows | 08:17 |
| Enola_Gay | that's the plan | 08:17 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: normal is what the average does | 08:17 |
| Jester45 | im above normal | 08:17 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: and the average number of people don't use linux | 08:17 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: hence you are not normal when using linux | 08:18 |
| Jester45 | the normal linux user is a geek | 08:18 |
| hyper_ch | yeah | 08:18 |
| Enola_Gay | I know but I think Linux is perfect for Newbies since is secure and has everything they need | 08:18 |
| hyper_ch | "normality" depends on your reference group | 08:18 |
| Jester45 | but there is an increasing amount of those geeks replace windows on peoples machines for them | 08:18 |
| Enola_Gay | and in many cases easier to manager because of app updates and so on | 08:18 |
| hyper_ch | Enola_Gay: it is by design more secure than windows... but that won't stop you from making it open like windows if you want to | 08:19 |
| Jester45 | yea i say dependingon what they do its a lot simpler than windows because of the package manger with updates | 08:19 |
| Jester45 | like run wine with root powers :) | 08:20 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: I also think that the repos make it simpler and and more secure as you know those are trusted packages | 08:20 |
| Jester45 | i dont trust them :) | 08:20 |
| hyper_ch | right now ripping dvds with wine+dvddecrypter | 08:20 |
| Jester45 | hyper_ch, why not just use acidrip | 08:20 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: dunno... I just know how to handle dvd decrypter even with some scratched dvds | 08:21 |
| Jester45 | i think acidrip is much better | 08:21 |
| Jester45 | because it uses mencoder | 08:21 |
| Jester45 | and mencoder is god of encoding | 08:22 |
| hyper_ch | Jester45: it's ripping... not encoding | 08:22 |
| Jester45 | are you making an iso ? or avi | 08:22 |
| hyper_ch | wohoo, gpl3 is out | 08:22 |
| hyper_ch | iso | 08:22 |
| Jester45 | o | 08:22 |

| tinin | maybe because it is not connected to the router right now? | 11:27 |
| maxamillion | cellofellow: same here | 11:27 |
| maxamillion | tinin: no, i think that's just not a valid command | 11:27 |
| tinin | 'ahhh | 11:28 |
| tinin | ok | 11:28 |
| cellofellow | me too | 11:28 |
| cellofellow | I thought eth0 was in /dev. Must be somewhere else. | 11:28 |
| maxamillion | cellofellow: i believe what you wanted was "ls /dev/ | grep eth" but ... apparently eth isn't in /dev | 11:29 |
| === maxamillion doesn't know why .... | ||
| maxamillion | ahhh | 11:29 |
| vidd_laptop | tinin, AFTER you plug that computer in.... | 11:29 |
| tinin | ok | 11:29 |
| tinin | tell | 11:29 |
| cellofellow | maxamillion: it isn't in /dev. Where is it then? It used to be. That was Edgy I guess though. | 11:30 |
| vidd_laptop | type sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 | 11:30 |
| cellofellow | does locate index /dev ? | 11:30 |
| maxamillion | cellofellow: i'm on debian etch ... its not there either | 11:30 |
| tinin | and then? | 11:30 |

| Lectus | Hello! I tried to install IceWM on Xubuntu, but not all the programs that appear on XFCE menu appear on ICEWM menu. Can anyone help me fixing it? Or can anyone recommend a IceWM-centric distro? I'd prefer to have Xubuntu with IceWM installed and configured though. Thanks! | 11:38 |
| maxamillion | Pumpernickel: ah, thanks .... so its kinda like the net devices are managed by a HAL style steup | 11:38 |
| === luisbg [n=d33p@247.144.217.87.dynamic.jazztel.es] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| cellofellow | Pumpernickel: ok. That makes more sense now. I suppose you can have more network devices, and do more with them, when they are in that /etc thing. | 11:39 |

| maxamillion | cellofellow: lemme check | 11:42 |

| tinin_ | that's what i get from sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 | 11:47 |

| tinin_ | any other thing i can look up for? | 11:48 |

| maxamillion | i'm out! gotta run | 11:48 |
| geck0 | howdy | 11:48 |
| vidd_laptop | tinin_, you do not have the box set with a static ip.... | 11:48 |
| geck0 | got a couple quick questions if anyone can help- | 11:48 |
| tinin_ | ok | 11:49 |
| cellofellow | !ask | geck0 | 11:49 |
| ubotu | geck0: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 11:49 |
| tinin_ | maybe not now | 11:49 |
| geck0 | 1. why can't I just click and drag to make a box around several icons to select them | 11:49 |
| tinin_ | I tried all combinations i could vidd_laptop | 11:49 |
| cellofellow | 1. Cause XFCE isn't a full-featured desktop. It's more lightweight, and that is a "full feature". | 11:49 |
| cellofellow | geck0: next? | 11:50 |
| tinin_ | should i try again with it as static? | 11:50 |
| vidd_laptop | tinin_, you need to change "dhcp" in your /etc/network/interfaces file to "static" | 11:50 |
| geck0 | ah ok, so there is no way to add that feature? | 11:50 |
| cellofellow | not without coding it in yourself. | 11:50 |
| geck0 | k | 11:50 |
| vidd_laptop | and then its hould work | 11:50 |
| tinin_ | ok | 11:50 |
| geck0 | next question, I tried to configure my time to auto update according to some servers after searching for how to do it | 11:50 |
| geck0 | but it doesn't seem to be working? | 11:50 |
| cellofellow | geck0: are the ntp packages installed? If they are, just checking the box in time-admin should work. | 11:51 |
| tinin_ | but i'll do it from the network tool, cause it's easier for me | 11:51 |
| tinin_ | back again | 11:51 |
| geck0 | I think they are, how do I check? | 11:52 |
| geck0 | I've already done the thing where I click "keep synchronized with internet servers" and it asks if I want to add NTP support, and I chose yes | 11:52 |
| geck0 | I have 2 servers checked in the "Select Servers" menu, however it says it's 1:30am right now. and its 5:00 PM =P | 11:53 |
| geck0 | Also, the Synchronize now option is greyed out (like I can't click on it), if that means anything | 11:54 |
| cellofellow | geck0: what timezone did you set? | 11:54 |
| geck0 | America/Chicago | 11:54 |
| === Laibsch [n=Laibsch@p54B95716.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| cellofellow | should work. Is your BIOS set to UTC? | 11:56 |
| geck0 | eek I don't know, how can I check? | 11:56 |
| geck0 | I know how to get to the BIOS screen | 11:56 |
| cellofellow | dunno | 11:57 |
| geck0 | hmm OK, I'm toying around with BIOS settings now | 11:57 |
| geck0 | Well, I don't see any options that have a UTC in them | 11:59 |
| geck0 | hmm I guess I'll just set the clock manually then and not worry about synchronizing it. Third Question: I've heard about pre-linking and readahead, do any of you know how to use these options, so I could potentially shorten the load time of firefox/open office, etc? | 12:01 |
| geck0 | heh you might think this is funny...I changed my clock in the BIOS, and it was set to 2001. Now when I booted up xubuntu again, it says /dev/sda1 has gone 2285 days without being checked, check forced. | 12:03 |

| vidd_laptop | tinin_, survey says? | 12:06 |
| tinin_ | well i changed to static ip and tried sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 | 12:06 |
| tinin_ | and nothing | 12:07 |
| tinin_ | i even rebooted and tried agan and nothing | 12:07 |
| tinin_ | I got this error when i log into xfce"Could not look up for internet address for pcpunk... It may be possible to correct the problem by adding pcpunk to the file /etc/hosts on your system" | 12:07 |
| tinin_ | it's weird, Is maybe that the network card does not work well? i've got another to put there | 12:07 |
| tinin_ | survey says command not found | 12:08 |
| vidd_laptop | tinin_, on that pc, check the /etc/resolv.conf | 12:09 |
| tinin_ | ah | 12:09 |
| vidd_laptop | make sure the ip address is 192.168.1.1 and NOT 127.0.0.1 | 12:09 |
| tinin_ | there it says | 12:10 |
| cellofellow | geck0: don't worry about that. UTC means that UNIX expects the harware clock to be set to UTC, which is the same as Greenwich Mean Time. | 12:10 |
| tinin_ | nameserver 80.58.61.250 | 12:10 |
| tinin_ | nameserver 80.58.61.254 | 12:10 |
| cellofellow | geck0: so set the BIOS (hardware) clock to UTC, and then your timezone thing should check out. | 12:10 |
| tinin_ | domain pcpunk-domain | 12:10 |
| tinin_ | that's all | 12:11 |
| tinin_ | those are the dns i put on the network tool | 12:11 |
| vidd_laptop | is that your dns servers? | 12:12 |
| tinin_ | yes | 12:12 |

| tinin_ | that is what resolv.cof says | 12:13 |
| vidd_laptop | if you set it to your gateway, then it will pass the correct stuff to your box | 12:13 |
| tinin_ | how? | 12:13 |
| tinin_ | how should resolv.conf look like? | 12:14 |
| slow-motion | n8 | 12:15 |
| cellofellow | I have a DNS mirror/server on 192.168.0.3, so my resolv.conf points to that. My router is 192.168.0.2 and my gateway is 192.168.0.1. | 12:16 |
| cellofellow | I use DHCP from the server to set my IP (which is still always the same) and my gateway, etc. | 12:17 |
