[07:49] <gerro> Jester45: you know any good iptables guides?
[07:49] <Jester45> !iptables
[07:49] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[07:49] <Jester45> try that
[07:49] <gerro> not really interested in the firewall aspect, think I already have that bookmarked though lol
[07:49] <Jester45> gerro, you wouldnt know php very good would ya

[08:12] <TheSheep> Jester45: you did not
[08:12] <TheSheep> Jester45: that's just one </p>
[08:12] <TheSheep> Jester45: but you have two opening <p>'s
[08:13] <Jester45> where
[08:13] <TheSheep> Jester45: I say, get it outside the <div id="site-name"> and you are good
[08:13] <Jester45> <p class="login">

[08:13] <Jester45> Name: <input type="text" name="name" />
[08:13] <Jester45> Age: <input type="text" name="age" />
[08:13] <Jester45> <input type="submit" />
		</p>
[08:14] <TheSheep> <div id="site-name"><p class="login">
[08:14] <TheSheep> <p class="login">
[08:14] <TheSheep> <form fontsize="2"act
[08:14] <Jester45> o
[08:14] <Jester45> i do
[08:14] <Jester45> fixed
[08:15] <TheSheep> Jester45: now move it outside the "site-name" div
[08:15] <TheSheep> Jester45: it's the one that has such a huge font set
[08:15] <Jester45> yea... but i need it in that div i think
[08:16] <Jester45> i want it in the upper right corner
[08:16] <TheSheep> Jester45: why?
[08:16] <TheSheep> Jester45: then move it there with css, but don't mess the html with presentation
[08:17] <TheSheep> Jester45: you can put the form at the very end as well
[08:17] <Jester45> but im gonna make it a login thing
[08:17] <TheSheep> Jester45: just put an id on the form
[08:17] <TheSheep> Jester45: and you can move it around as you please
[08:22] <Jester45> how
[08:22] <Jester45> like a div?
[08:23] <TheSheep> Jester45: position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0;
[08:23] <TheSheep> Jester45: btw, you have a typo in the page title >_<
[08:23] <Jester45> yea...
[08:24] <Jester45> vidd was suposed to fix that
[08:24] <Jester45> while putting stuff in the page
[08:24] <Jester45> looks like i have to fight though it all
[08:28] <Jester45> hey BFTD
[08:29] <Jester45> TheSheep, look at it now
[08:30] <BFTD> Hey Jester45
[08:31] <TheSheep> Jester45: looks good
[08:31] <TheSheep> Jester45: float it right
[08:32] <Jester45> would i remove the right: 0; and replace with float?
[08:35] <TheSheep> yes
[08:35] <Jester45> its not floating
[08:36] <TheSheep> Jester45: float: right;
[08:36] <benpicco> there is something wrong: I only get ca. 25kb/s in apt with an 6000kbit/s internet connection
[08:36] <Jester45> doh
[08:36] <benpicco> well, it's shared but it should be more
[08:36] <Jester45> benpicco, sometimes the servers are slow... but not that slow
[08:37] <TheSheep> Jester45: you need a dot before that 'login'
[08:37] <Jester45> benpicco, are you using only ubuntu's servers or third party ones
[08:38] <benpicco> Jester45: i use the ubuntu servers, the problem also occours when loading upsdates
[08:38] <benpicco> -s
[08:38] <Jester45> the updates are from the same servers
[08:40] <benpicco> well, atm, the connection is shared with ca. 20 computers, but I estimate that only 5 of them are currently loading something, and that might me some webpage
[08:41] <benpicco> if i use a dowloadmanager at one of the windows boxes here and open ca. 8 conections, I can get up to 700kb/s
[08:41] <benpicco> which means full speed
[08:41] <benpicco> oh, now apt told me, that it couldn't load all packets - this often happens
[08:42] <Jester45> there are download managers for linux
[08:42] <benpicco> also dor apt?
[08:42] <benpicco> for
[08:42] <Jester45> no
[08:43] <Jester45> axel - A light download accelerator
[08:43] <benpicco> but can't I tell it to work, well, more agressive?
[08:43] <Jester45> no
[08:44] <Jester45> not that i know of
[08:44] <Jester45> TheSheep, is still messed up
[08:51] <benpicco> hmm, without any download acceleration it not much faster on the windows boxes, too - well, at least I get up tu 50kb/s there
[08:51] <BFTD> is there no possible way to play .avi's in linux?
[08:51] <benpicco> BFTD: sure, eg with mPlayer or kaffeine
[08:51] <benpicco> or vlc player
[08:52] <BFTD> neither of those played it
[08:52] <benpicco> have you installed these binary codecs for mplayer?
[08:53] <BFTD> which ones?
[08:53] <insmod> wget is the best
[08:54] <Jester45> axel is better
[08:54] <insmod> i like term  :)
[08:55] <Jester45> is there a new devel release? the mirror's could be sucking up the bandqidth
[08:55] <Jester45> bandwidth
 dosn't that use wget as a back end ?
[08:56] <Jester45> might
[08:56] <insmod> :)
[08:56] <Jester45> but buts faster
[08:56] <insmod> wget rocks
[08:56] <benpicco> Jester45: no, the problem is linux-wide (and also the windows boxes are affected but it seems as they are prefered by our proxy...)
[08:56] <Jester45> man i need sleep
[08:57] <Jester45> benpicco, are you at a school or uni?
[08:57] <benpicco> BFTD: http://www3.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20061022.tar.bz2
[08:57] <benpicco> Jester45: schol
[08:57] <benpicco> school
[08:58] <benpicco> (the keyboards here are crappy ;) )
[08:58] <benpicco> BFTD: from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html
[09:03] <benpicco> oh, where has all the time gone? There was more left, when I came in here...

[09:34] <Lad> help again, how to i readd my orignal toolbar
[09:35] <nzk> Alright, lets go through all the steps
[09:35] <nzk> 1. Learn English
[09:35] <Lad> okaay
[09:35] <nzk> 2. Come back when you finish Step 1
[09:35] <Lad> gimme a few mins
[09:35] <Lad> Okay, Ive learned English
[09:35] <Lad> Next?
[09:35] <nzk> Prove it
[09:36] <nzk> Don't just say what you've memorized
[09:36] <Lad> Well shit
[09:36] <nzk> !language
[09:36] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[09:36] <Lad> well can you please help me?
[09:37] <nzk> If you stop talking like a person who has never seen the outside of a Myspace before in their life, sure.
[09:38] <Lad> i deleted my toolbar and it was the orignal one, now i added a new one and was trying to get all of the items back but i cant get it, is there a way to revert the deletion of my original toolbar?
[09:38] <Lad> and i actually hate myspace
[09:39] <Lad> and i think i just figured it out
[09:41] <Lad> thanks anyway i got it
[09:42] <TheSheep> nzk: don't behave like that
[09:43] <TheSheep> nzk: if you don't want to help people, just don't
[09:43] <nzk> TheSheep, I'm just preparing him for real life
[09:43] <TheSheep> nzk: can you do it outside the official ubuntu support channels, please?
[09:44] <nzk> *fine*
[09:44] <TheSheep> nzk: thank you
[09:47] <nzk> How do I go on Usenet?
[09:49] <TheSheep> nzk: get a news client and connect it to some news server
[09:49] <TheSheep> nzk: or use google groups
[09:49] <_nnx_> I'm running a Pentium III, 1 GHz, 512 megs of RAM, lots of HD space, GeForce 2 MX.  Would Xubuntu be more appropriate for my machine than vanilla Ubuntu?
[09:49] <nzk> Whats a good news client?
[09:49] <TheSheep> nzk: slrn
[09:49] <TheSheep> _nnx_: it's more a question of what you like and what you are used to
[09:50] <TheSheep> _nnx_: both will work good
[09:50] <nzk> TheSheep, does that have a GUI?
[09:50] <TheSheep> nzk: of course not, I wouldn't use gui for *reading*
[09:50] <_nnx_> TheSheep: Well, I don't want to have things be really laggy.  I've noticed that they do that in Gnome.  I also noticed that Xfce has some odd behavior, but that was back with Edgy (and I think there was a major memory leak of some kind - I think that's patched by now).
[09:51] <TheSheep> _nnx_: gnome shouldn't be laggy with those spec -- if it is, there is probably something wrong with configuration
[09:52] <_nnx_> TheSheep: What would you say the 'target' machine for Xubuntu would be?  If system specs were the main determining factor.
[09:52] <TheSheep> _nnx_: anything starting at P2 500Mhz 128MB ram 3GB hdd
[09:53] <TheSheep> _nnx_: you can run it on worse hardware, but it will be slow
[09:53] <_nnx_> TheSpeech: And vanilla Ubuntu?  (BTW, thanks a lot for my n00b questions, I feel like I oughta know this already)
[09:53] <_nnx_> Answering, that is.
[09:53] <TheSheep> _nnx_: not sure, didn't use it for a logn time, but your box should handle it just right
[09:54] <TheSheep> _nnx_: I'd say, about 1GHz, 255MB ram and 5GB hdd should be smooth
[09:55] <_nnx_> TheSheep: Alright.  While I got your attention, have you heard of any problems with init and CPU usage bizarrities when upgrading from Edgy to Feisty?  I've had two crashes where that happened - init ate up 90% of the CPU, X apps kept eating up resources even though their server'd been killed, and Ctrl-Alt-Delete basically went ignored by the system.
[09:55] <nzk> I have a 3.46ghz 1GB ram machine that runs like molasses on Ubuntu
[09:55] <nzk> I have to use Xubuntu
[09:55] <_nnx_> nzk: Oh?  Have any idea of why?
[09:55] <nzk> No idea
[09:55] <nzk> It's been like this for as long as i can remember
[09:56] <_nnx_> nzt: Weird.
[09:56] <nzk> Who the hell is nzt?
[09:57] <_nnx_> My imaginary friend who insists on making me hit the wrong keys.
[09:57] <_nnx_> :)
[09:58] <nzk> TheSheep, whats a NNTPSERVER and what should I set it to?
[09:59] <TheSheep> nzk: it's an environment variable and you should set it to the address of the NNTP server you want to use
[09:59] <nzk> What server should I set it to?
[09:59] <_nnx_> In any case, thanks a lot, folks, I appreciate the help and time.
[11:28] <ethemc> what is the best solution for ltsp xubuntu , kubuntu , or ubuntu ?
[11:34] <TheSheep> ethemc: if there was a single best solution, then people wouyld only use that one
[11:36] <ethemc> :)
[11:37] <ethemc> :D
[11:37] <ethemc> ehuehueheu
[11:37] <TheSheep> ethemc: you need to consider your particular case
[11:37] <ethemc> ok so i'll ask another way, which one is the easyest one to install and config
[11:38] <TheSheep> ethemc: I think the one that comes with edubuntu
[11:38] <TheSheep> ethemc: it's basically all automatic
[11:38] <ethemc> xubuntu has also a ltsp option
[11:39] <TheSheep> tbh I never used it, so I can't comment, maybe someone else...
[11:39] <ethemc> ok thanks
[12:18] <gerro> I have a wusb54gc and in this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2863623&postcount=184 it says to use rt73 drivers with ndiswrapper however this document states there are native drivers for it http://opensource.bureau-cornavin.com/belkin/index.html so I'm a little confused
[12:18] <gerro> and what is with that power management feature mentioned about feisty usb devices (says it started in edgy)
[12:25] <gerro> PriceChild: hiya :)
[12:26] <PriceChild> hi :)
[12:28] <gerro> PriceChild: you come here often? seen you around few times
[12:29] <PriceChild> I do, I'm an ubuntu-irc op etc.
[12:30] <gerro> would have never known, you kinda quiet usually
[12:31] <gerro> hmm PriceChild you have any experience with ralink wireless devices?
[12:32] <PriceChild> yes... and they work perfectly for me
[12:32] <gerro> oh which ones you using?
[12:34] <gerro> sorry to sound a bit intrusive
[12:34] <gerro> I was just whining about this usb adapter I got a long while back
[12:34] <gerro> can't decide if I should try ndiswrapper or native drivers
[02:17] <homebrewcider> has anybody had any luck getting a Logitech USB headset working in Xubuntu?
[02:20] <TheSheep> homebrewcider: have you looked at the forums?
[02:20] <homebrewcider> xubuntu forums?
[02:21] <TheSheep> ubuntu forums
[02:21] <TheSheep> xubuntu and ubuntu are practically the same under the hood
[02:21] <homebrewcider> ah ok
[02:37] <homebrewcider> problem is the USB headset is detected in Kmix, levels are up but no sound
[02:43] <homebrewcider> the forums give me the instructions for setting the default sound device in Ubuntu, but not Xubuntu
[03:00] <mal> has anybody had any luck getting a Logitech 250 USB headset working in XUBUNTU, not UBUNTU?
[03:04] <TheSheep> mal: no, but there was someone asking the smae question earlier today and yesterday ;)
[03:05] <mal> yes, that was me, I got disconnected but it won't let me log in here as homebrewcider(which is me) because I'm "still here" from before
[03:05] <mal> can't change my nick, cos it's already being used ............by me
[03:06] <mal>  :'(
[03:06] <TheSheep> mal: give it some time to die
[03:06] <mal> ok
[03:06] <mal> anyway , the ubuntu forums give ubuntu answers
[03:06] <mal> not xubuntu answers
[03:07] <TheSheep> mal: you might try and install the gnome apps they refer to
[03:07] <TheSheep> mal: and use them
[03:07] <mal> done that
[03:07] <mal> but they're referring to gnome preferences
[03:08] <mal> this headset is identified in settings manager>sound
[03:08] <Amon-san> hi. my box says at command prompt amon@(none). where can i change my machine's name?
[03:08] <mal> the microphone box is checked
[03:08] <mal> but the speaker check box will not stay checked
[03:09] <homebrewcider> hehe
[03:09] <homebrewcider> I'm backas homebrewcider
[03:10] <TheSheep> Amon-san: system->network
[03:10] <TheSheep> Amon-san: in the 'general' tab
[03:17] <Amon-san> TheSheep: host oder domain name?
[03:17] <Amon-san> *or
[03:21] <Amon-san> ok. host name - it worked. btw: how do i change my window manager? i'd like tu run fluxbox (already installed) once in a while
[03:23] <Amon-san> anyone?
[03:27] <homebrewcider> ok, i've gto alsamixer in a terminal showing my logitech usb headset, the volume is way up, but no joy
[03:30] <homebrewcider> but in menu>settings>settings manager>sound   the speaker check box still refuses to stay checked
[03:34] <Amon-san> how do i change my window manager? i'd like tu run fluxbox (already installed) once in a while
[03:36] <k-os> ey. i get invalid boot sector on my hard drive @ boot. anyone know a fix for this?
[03:53] <Amon-san> how do i change my window manager? i'd like tu run fluxbox (already installed) once in a while
[04:15] <cipri> I have downloaded a Xubuntu 7.04 desktop-cd ... now it asks me about Usernmae and password.  I tried live, live...or root,root...but all that doesn't work. any idea ?
[04:16] <TheSheep> cipri: it shouldn't ask for username and password
[04:16] <TheSheep> cipri: verify the cd please
[04:16] <cipri> ok
[04:29] <Amon-san> how do i change my window manager? i'd like tu run fluxbox (already installed) instead of xfce every once in a while
[04:31] <Amon-san> anyone?
[04:33] <ablomen> Amon-san, log out and select fluxbox as your session in gdm
[04:33] <Amon-san> i'll try :-)
[04:36] <ablomen> :)
[04:36] <Amon-san> *sigh* it worked. but the fluxbox standard menu had no items at all
[04:37] <Amon-san> and the only settings i could access were the ones for the panel
[04:37] <ablomen> nope it doesnt use the system menu afaik
[04:37] <Amon-san> so how would i set up the menu?
[04:38] <ablomen> ehm editing some files, somewhere in .fluxbox i guess, havnt installed it here though, so dunno
[04:38] <Amon-san> *sigh* i'll stick to xfce then
[04:40] <ablomen> well as far as i can remember it isnt hard, it should be a pretty good structure, but if your pc isnt to slow, yeah id just stick to xfce
[04:41] <Amon-san> it's a notebook. pentium III 400 MHz 128 MB sd-ram
[04:41] <Amon-san> so even xfce is slow sometimes
[04:41] <ablomen> ah
[04:42] <ablomen> hmm yeah
[05:36] <soccerdude21490> Hey does anyone know if xUbuntu has support for certain PCI Ethernet Adapters/USB ethernet adapters?
[05:36] <soccerdude21490> I want to install xUBuntu onto an old PC, but it has no ethernet port
[05:37] <k-os> soccerdude21490: check the wiki for supported hardware?
[05:37] <soccerdude21490> alright, thats what I was going to do next.. but I wasn't sure if it had support for like all of them or whatever
[05:38] <k-os> the wiki will give you a better than answer than my guessings :)
[05:38] <soccerdude21490> alright.. do you have a link? I'm currently lookin for it but can't seem to find it
[05:39] <k-os> sure: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[05:40] <soccerdude21490> alright thanks a lot k-os! you're a life saver!
[05:40] <k-os> any time!
[06:27] <o19> hi, has anyone here ever had problems with displaying openoffice?
[06:27] <vinze> Nope
[06:27] <maxamillion> o19: no
[06:27] <TheSheep> o19: yes, on intel cards
[06:28] <TheSheep> o19: the top is all messy, right?
[06:28] <maxamillion> bah!
[06:28] <o19> jep...
[06:28] <o19> I solved that one on a later installation, but unfortunately i don't remember ;-)
[06:29] <o19> any ideas?
[06:30] <o19> Functionality is working fine for me, it's only that awful look...
[06:31] <vinze> Have you installed the GTK pack?
[06:31] <vinze> Something like openoffice-gtk
[06:31] <vinze> "openoffice.org-gtk"
[06:31] <o19> jep
[06:32] <TheSheep> o19: I can't find it right now :/
[06:32] <TheSheep> o19: maybe you can look at bugs.ubuntu.com
[06:34] <maxamillion> o19: are you comparing it to the openoffice-gnome look? because technically xubuntu leaves openoffice in its default appearance whereas gnome alters it greatly
[06:34] <cellofellow> Right now I am using an Ubuntu Edgy LiveCD and the fonts look great. I know it is using the nv driver and this is why. I know nVidia made my fonts look like gunk. Is there a way to fix said nVidia problem>?
[06:34] <maxamillion> cellofellow: the nvidia driver shouldn't have anything to do with your fonts ... i believe that would be a xorg config issue
[06:34] <cellofellow> hmmm
[06:35] <maxamillion> cellofellow: now its possible that the nvidia-settings tool changed your xorg
[06:35] <maxamillion> config*
[06:35] <cellofellow> let me reboot and see.
[06:35] <maxamillion> k
[06:35] <cellofellow> I never ran that as root, though.
[06:35] <maxamillion> sudo?
[06:35] <cellofellow> sudo, root, gksu, whatever.
[06:35] <cellofellow> Just as me.
[06:35] <maxamillion> rgr
[06:36] <maxamillion> hmm... i don't really know then
[06:36] <cellofellow> Using nvidia-legacy actually
[06:36] <maxamillion> cellofellow: what card do you have?
[06:36] <cellofellow> RIVA TNT2
[06:37] <maxamillion> oh wow
[06:37] <maxamillion> yeah ... -legacy
[06:40] <maxamillion> grazie: interesting .... i guess that might just be a bug
[06:41] <cellofellow> (weird. The Display settings don't work. I can't change resolution from the XFCE control panel)
[06:41] <grazie> there was an easy fix on a number of blogs/forums...but I can't remember the details :(
[06:42] <cellofellow> oops
[06:42] <cellofellow> I have to go real soon.
[06:45] <maxamillion> cellofellow: no worries, apparently grazie saw the same font issue with an old nvidia card and the legacy drivers ... its possible that its a bug
[06:45] <maxamillion> bah!
[06:45] <vinze> :P
[06:46] <o19> I even don't find that one... Is it possible that I've to install the openoffice.org-gtk first and then in a seperate step the other openoffice packages?
[06:46] <maxamillion> o19: shouldn't have to ... you might need to make sure to set the gtk-theme (which i thought would be automatic, but possibly not)
[06:49] <o19> I didn't find the option to choose this, so I thought it would automatically be set, too... but I'll have another try then.
[06:55] <o19> Looking for it on google I read about changing the color depth, but that didn't change anything at all...
[06:55] <maxamillion> o19: you could try installing gtk-theme-switch and see if that helps (though i think the xfce config tool should do the same thing the theme switcher does)
[06:59] <b00t> hello everyone
[07:00] <vinze> Hey
[07:00] <b00t> could anyone help me installing xubuntu plz
[07:00] <vinze> There are many instructions online
[07:00] <b00t> i know
[07:00] <vinze> Start with those
[07:00] <b00t> i searched them all
[07:00] <b00t> theres something wrong though
[07:00] <vinze> But...?
[07:00] <b00t> i cant boot from the cd!
[07:00] <b00t> i burned it at 8x
[07:00] <b00t> and when i check the cd for defects it shows errors
[07:00] <vinze> Does it produce an error or does it just not load at all?
[07:01] <b00t> error while checking for cd defect
[07:01] <b00t> i burned it the first time with nero
[07:01] <b00t> when it didnt work i burned it with infrarecorder
[07:01] <vinze> Perhaps the .iso you downloaded was corrupted?
[07:01] <b00t> i checked the hash
[07:01] <b00t> its the same as the one in the xubuntu site
[07:02] <vinze> OK... Perhaps you could try the alternate install cd
[07:02] <b00t> whts the difference plz!
[07:02] <vinze> Well, the alternate install cd does not boot you into the desktop, so it might be a bit more scary
[07:02] <vinze> But it should work nonetheless
[07:02] <b00t> um well am a newbie i might get lost if it didnt boot me to desktop
[07:02] <b00t> besides am on isdn
[07:03] <b00t> means my download speed is 10 kb
[07:03] <vinze> Ow that sucks
[07:03] <b00t> it would take at least 22 hours to download
[07:03] <b00t> ya
[07:03] <b00t> very
[07:03] <b00t> wht may b the cause of tht!
[07:03] <b00t> i tried 2 iso!
[07:03] <vinze> Well, I'm not that much of an expert either, so I'm afraid I'm not really able to help you :(
[07:03] <b00t> from different mirrors
[07:03] <b00t> hmm its ok thanks for trying though
[07:04] <vinze> np
[07:17] <o19> got it, sreen depth to 16bit, and then switching the theme to anotherone and back ;-)
[07:18] <o19> thx @all
[08:05] <k^^> where do I change system sounds in xubuntu?
[08:06] <TheSheep> k^^: xubuntu doesn't have system sounds
[08:06] <k^^> ok :)

[08:07] <TheSheep> k^^: the login sound can be changes in system->login window
[08:07] <TheSheep> k^^: no, it just doesn't do anything like that
[08:07] <k^^> I want to have a sound on my system beep
[08:07] <k^^> ok
[08:08] <k^^> any ideas?
[08:08] <TheSheep> k^^: you might be able to do somethng with the beep tweaking the esd configuration
[08:08] <TheSheep> k^^: but I don't know how exactly
[08:08] <k^^> mkay, esd?
[08:09] <k^^> :)
[08:09] <TheSheep> k^^: /etc/esound/esd.conf
[08:09] <k^^> ok
[08:10] <TheSheep> k^^: it's just a guess
[08:10] <k^^> thanks anyway :)

[10:29] <Jester45> is there a printer spool  for linux? or something like it
[10:33] <Jester45> hi maxamillion
[10:34] <maxamillion> hi hi
[10:34] <maxamillion> Jester45: you have any idea why my scroll wheel on my mouse just randomly stopped working?
[10:34] <Jester45> NO
[10:34] <maxamillion> yeah ... me either
[10:34] <Jester45> look at your xorg.conf
[10:35] <maxamillion> yeah, i've been poking around ... not sure what's wrong
[11:55] <BFTD> I do I turn off acpi?
[11:57] <cellofellow> put acpi=no in your kernel options
[12:12] <BFTD> hey guys I missed what cellowfellow said, can omsone bring it up again? I lost power
[12:27] <BFTD> wb cellofellow
[12:28] <cellofellow> hello
[12:29] <BFTD> sorry I missed what you said, I had a power outage
[12:29] <cellofellow> said about what?
[12:34] <BFTD> acpi
[12:36] <cellofellow> BFTD: put 'acpi=no' in your kernel options (menu.lst) to disable it.
[12:36] <BFTD> ok
[12:36] <BFTD> I did
[12:36] <BFTD> thanks btw
[12:39] <der> sup
[12:39] <BFTD> hey
[12:46] <BFTD> hey cellofellow I did what you told me, and it worked! But now none of my battery monitors work...
[12:47] <cellofellow> I suppose that would be because the battery stuff is acpi based.
[12:47] <cellofellow> Perhaps you would like to turn acpi back on, and just turn off the parts you don't want.
[12:48] <BFTD> cellofellow no
[12:48] <BFTD> My system crashes if my battery isn't full or if I unplug it
[12:49] <cellofellow> because of acpi?
[12:49] <cellofellow> not that I've tried much.
[12:49] <cellofellow> I know that nVidia causes some trouble with resume.
[12:50] <cheeseboy> im trying to compile mysql i get this error http://pastebin.ca/600538 how do i fix?
[12:51] <cellofellow> first question: why compile?
[12:51] <BFTD> cellofellow I don't know if its because of acpi but I know I fixed it by turning off acpi
[12:51] <cellofellow> cheeseboy: looks like missing dependencies.
[12:52] <cellofellow> cheeseboy: if you need newest version, you can probably get it at getdeb.net
[12:52] <cheeseboy> what is the dependency im missing ?
[12:52] <cheeseboy> i have it installed from apt
[12:52] <cheeseboy> just need to compile it for another pc
[12:53] <cellofellow> for another? why not compile it there. Chances are it won't work on the other after you finally get it built on this one.
[12:53] <cellofellow> you may need a -dev package or two
[12:53] <cheeseboy> cellofellow, there kernel is messed up
[12:54] <cheeseboy> virtual memory errors comiling stuff
[12:54] <cellofellow> sounds like something I don't know how to fix :(
[12:54] <cheeseboy> so i compile on this pc instead :)
[12:55] <cheeseboy> but what am i missing that would cause that?

[12:56] <vidd> how do you cp an entire directory to another directory?
[12:57] <cellofellow> vidd: cp -a /dir/* /otherdir/
[12:57] <cellofellow> copies everything, including permissions
[12:57] <vidd> ty
[12:58] <cellofellow> that copies the files, skip the * to copy the dir
