ceil420does anybody know how i can set .txt files to open in Mousepad by default? i got an IDE the other day, and it's a wonderful program, but it seems to have made itself the default application for text files, and it's just too "big" for when i want to edit a simple .txt :x02:03
zialswell, you can set it by: right click -> properties02:04
ceil420ah, thanks02:04

derjenshi everybody02:46
derjensi am preparing a xubuntu box for my mum... it needs kernel parameter acpi=force to poweroff perfectly02:47
derjensi guess updates do change the menu.lst of grub, don't they?02:48
derjenshow to make xubuntu keep this parameter when updates come in?02:48
BFTDderjens you can't but its very easy to add it02:51
derjensBFTD, please explain this in detail. i could add it to the menu.lst but when my mum runs an update it will be destroyed, won't it?02:52
derjens(an update that covers GRUB, of course)02:52
BFTDderjens no, when it gets updated stuff is only added to the menu.lst02:52
derjenssounds great:)02:53
BFTDderjens all you have to do is add acpi=force to the kernel section in the menu.lst02:53
derjensthanks so far!02:53
BFTDyou'll need to add it to the new section that'll be added02:53
derjensdoes xubuntu introduce new kernel versions to old versions? i mean, will this box ever see an update with kernel 2.6.22 or whatever?02:54
BFTDwell02:54
BFTDit'll add the newest it can02:54
derjenswonderful02:54
BFTDbut ti won't erase the old one if thats what you mean02:55
BFTDso if the newest one doesn't work02:55
BFTDyou can always resort back to the old one02:55
derjensyeah, problem is that i would have to add the "acpi=force" to every new kernel that is installed, right? no real problem actually02:56
BFTDderjens no you can jsut add it to the one you're gonna use02:57
BFTDyou only use one kernel at a time02:57
=== kalikiana_ [n=kalikian@xdsl-84-44-177-157.netcologne.de] has joined #xubuntu
derjensBFTD, does that mean when a new kernel is installed xubuntu will keep using the old one until i change menu.lst by hand?03:00
BFTDderjens no it uses the newest one unless you change it03:01
derjensBFTD, sorry for asking stupid questions but i don't get it... this is what i expect to happen:03:01
derjensnow i have kernel 2.6.21 and add "acpi=force" to this particular entry in menu.lst03:02
derjensin some months a new kernel will say hello and a new entry for it will be added to menu.lst. with default parameters! xubuntu will boot this kernel as it is the newest one. so it will boot without "acpi=force"03:03
derjensi hope you now know what i wanna say03:04
BFTDderjens yes, however you can add the parameter BEFORE it boots03:04
derjensBFTD, okay. you're right -- *I* can do that. but my mum really *can't* do that:-) so i will have to teach her a bit03:05
derjensbut i've understood the way xubuntu works in this aspect. thanks for answering!03:05
BFTDderjens just set up ssh on her system and do it yourself03:06
BFTDderjens I had a similar problem with my sister who lives a few hundred miles away, so I just installed ssh and did it that way03:07
ceil420uhm... oops :x i just xkill'd desktop <_< what's the command to bring it back?03:07
ceil420xfce-desktop or sumn?03:07
BFTDceil420 yeah or xfdesktop03:08
BFTDlet me look03:08
BFTDyeah its xfdesktop03:08
ceil420that sounds familiar03:08
ceil420thanks o/03:08
derjensBFTD, thanks for the idea with ssh. maybe this is a solution:)03:08
ceil420note to self: when checking out your "pirate" cursor, *right* click somewhere :x03:08

Ramonthe thing is that I need to redirect from the public ip to the private ip... on the same ports05:57
cellofellowport forwarding then05:57
RamonI used rinetd... but it stops working :S05:57
tonyyarussoRamon: Set up port forwarding on the router.05:57
=== tonyyarusso lets cellofellow explain it - has to go to bed
RamonIt is not possible :S it has no web configuration or telnet or anything05:57
cellofellowthat's screwy05:57
Ramonbut i can route with the box with the public ip05:57
Ramoni did it with rinetd05:58
cellofellowgo to portforward.com and see if that router is in the list.05:58
Ramonfor examples redirect all the connections to the public ip (201.x.x.x) on port 80 for example to 192.x.x.x on port 8005:58

BFTDLectus yes I have08:13
BFTDI've compared it to zenwalk08:14
BFTDthey're almost the same08:14
BFTDin some cases Xubuntu will be faster08:14
BFTDin others zenwalk will08:14
Jester45xubuntu has a larger repo. so you can install more programs without the need to compile or get third party packages08:14
Lectusi really like Xubuntu community, and ubuntu repos available in Xubuntu. I think I'll really install Xubuntu. I think it's not worth the trouble installing other distros to get a 0.1% performance increase08:15
BFTDZenwalk uses tarball so you're actually very limited on what you can install with the package manager08:16

elbingthe normal site to nvidia.ko is /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/nvidia/11:55
crimsunit's a mountpoint11:57
crimsunand it's named volatile because, well, the mountpoint is volatile.11:57
crimsunessentially, the Linux license does not permit shipping binary-only proprietary globs as part of the image, so it's maintained separated and only linked in at runtime.11:58
