student1trying to use xboard to teach myself chess.  extends so far down the screen that 1/2 the pieces are covered by the panel(?) at the bottom.  anyone know how to resize it so the bottom rests above the panel?12:55
student1further note : half the pieces in the bottom row (rooks, knights, bishops, etc)12:56
Jester45student1, whats your screen resolution? and have you looked at man xboard to see is there is a flag for the board size12:57
TheSheepyou can resize the window with alt+shift+arrows, I think12:58
Jester45thats pretty cool TheSheep12:58
Jester45but the program might be stopping the window from being resized12:59
student1screen resolution : 1024 * 768 ... have to look at man xboard ... will do that right now ... tried alt+shift+arrows and no luck ... thanks12:59
Jester45TheSheep, do you know how find out a servers subnet?01:01
TheSheepJester45: sure, run ipconfig and look at its ip and mask01:02
Jester45im trying to setup bandwidthd but it wants my subnet. but i dont know it (vidd's server at work01:02
Jester45jester@vidd:~$  ipconfig01:04
Jester45-bash: ipconfig: command not found01:04

TheSheepKingPython: maybe your dns gives you a false ip number?01:33
KingPythonbut i try several dns01:34
TheSheepKingPython: try http://208.65.153.25101:34
KingPythonTheSheep: how can chance my dns ?01:34
KingPythonTheSheep: ohh thanx a lot01:34
KingPythonbut now how can i change my dns settings01:35
TheSheepdos that url work?01:35
KingPython??01:35
KingPythonyes01:35

TheSheepyou can enter the polish servers I use, 150.254.65.21 and 150.254.78.201:36
TheSheepfor example01:36
KingPythonohh i understand when Turkey closed youtube,i had chanced domain01:36
KingPythonok thanx TheSheep01:36
TheSheepI'm sure you can find a lot of other dns servers around the world01:36
KingPythonTheSheep if i dont use dns,what will happen?01:38
Jester45TheSheep, on the bandwidthd config there is a line for mysql login stuff. but i dont understand whats they are asking01:38

Jester45this is the line pgsql_connect_string "user = bwduser password = bwdpass dbname = bandwidthd host = localhost"01:38
TheSheepKingPython: dns (domain name server) is a service that translates names, like youtube.com, into ip numbers, like 208.65.153.25101:39
KingPythonopps ,01:39
KingPython i understand01:39
TheSheepKingPython: the internet works with these numbers internally01:39
TheSheepKingPython: if you don't have a dns set up, you just can't use the 'human-friendly' names, you'd have to use the numbers directly01:39
KingPythonhmm ,if i use dns for some sites ,can i enter or walk in there faster?01:39
Jester45a bit01:40
KingPythonhmm01:40
TheSheepKingPython: you mean if you use the ip number directly?01:40
TheSheepKingPython: a split second, yes, but it won't work with all sites01:40
Jester45like google01:40
KingPythonhmm01:40
Jester45they have a lot of ips01:41
TheSheepKingPython: some servers will have multiple web pages on the same ip, and will serve different pages depending on the name you use01:41
KingPythonTheSheep : so thanx again01:41
Jester45like vidd.us :)01:41
TheSheepfor example, if you go to sheep.art.pl, you will end up on my blog, but if you go to gallery.sheep.art.pl, which technically points to the same ip, you will find my gallery01:41

KingPythonsubdomain ha?01:42
Jester45hiya OGDA01:42
TheSheepKingPython: but it point to the same ip01:42
KingPythonyes i know01:42
TheSheepKingPython: this mechanism is called 'virtual host'01:42
KingPythonyes01:42
TheSheepKingPython: if a server uses virtual hosts, you cannot use the ip alone to access it01:43
KingPythoni has made a lot of web site,i know a bit01:43
BFTDhi01:43
TheSheepKingPython: because it won't know which of the vhosts you mean01:43
TheSheepKingPython: ah, sorry then for my lenghty explanations :)01:43
KingPythoni use subdomain and virtual hosts and i configure apache for virtual hosts.. but i dont think a this about my  myotube problem01:44

cheeseboyext301:46
TheSheephmm, I never done it with ext301:47
TheSheepbut it seems you can do it easily with gparted01:47
KingPythonyes gParted is seriously super program01:48
TheSheepbut you need to boot from livecd, so that your root partition is not being used at the time01:48
cheeseboyTheSheep, all options are greyed out01:48

TheSheepso you cannot remove the hard disk and put it into another computer temporarily?01:51
cheeseboyno01:51
TheSheepI'm out of ideas :/01:51
cheeseboyTheSheep, you know acronis thing for windows?01:52
cheeseboyor partition magic01:52
cheeseboythey do it01:52
cheeseboywhen you reboot it does for you01:52
TheSheepcheeseboy: well, command to do it is 'resize2fs', see man resize2fs for details01:53
TheSheepcheeseboy: maybe it can work with the filesystem mounted read-only01:54
TheSheepcheeseboy: ah, it can only enlarge the partition if it's mounted :/01:54
TheSheep(actually only the filesystem, not the partition, but that's a detail)01:55
TheSheepcheeseboy: if you had any way to run a linux without using that disk01:55
cheeseboyTheSheep, can i resize my swap while in linux?01:56
TheSheepcheeseboy: yes01:56
cheeseboyits only 300mb tho01:56
TheSheepcheeseboy: you can do 'swapoff' to disable the swap01:56
cheeseboywat linux could i get on there01:56
cheeseboyto resize my root01:56

cheeseboy:P01:58
TheSheepcheeseboy: I'm sure there is a tutorial somewhere01:58
TheSheepgerro: thanks01:58

phonoheadhow do you install icon themes? there is no "icons" folder to add them to03:02
Jester45phonohead, just a second there is one but i have to find it03:06
phonoheadok Jester45 :)03:06
Jester45its in ~/.icons03:07
Jester45at least for that user03:07
Jester45idk for a system wide install03:08
Jester45you make a folder for each theme03:08
Jester45or should03:08
Jester45like ~/.icons/glass-theme/otherfiles for glass-theme03:09
phonoheadlet me check03:10
Jester45i think a system wide install goes into /usr/share/icons/03:10
Jester45.icons is a hidden directory all files//folders with . at the beginning are hidden if you didnt know that03:10
Jester45ctrl+h shows them in thunar03:11
phonoheadJester45, i am not a newbie, just new to adding icon themes to Xfce :):)03:11
phonoheadbut, there is no .icons folder in my home directory03:11
Jester45just telling03:11
phonoheadit's nice of you03:11
Jester45make it then03:12
Jester45you can put it into /usr/share/icons/ like the defualt ones03:12
Jester45if you put it in your home root will not have it03:13
=== Laibsc1 [n=Laibsch@p54B961CA.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #xubuntu
phonoheadi just need it for my own user, so i guess it will do just fine in my home03:14
phonoheadwhy not make it possible to just drag it in the icon theme list03:15
Jester45maybe the devels didnt want it03:17
phonoheadprobably, but it's easy to just make a .icon folder and add the files yourself :)03:19
Jester45and that would make xfce that much more bloated03:24

hansin321Hello.  I think I jacked my XFCE setup a little.  I just aquired a laptop (500Mhz/192Meg) and after install of Xubuntu 7.04, I was customizing options.  Under 'Window Manager Tweaks' (I think) I tried setting 'use composite'.  I should have know better given the age of the laptop.  XFCE locked up, and now I can't get into XFCE.  I can get to the DM, but after loging in I get the mouse pointer and a solid color screen, nothing else.  05:13
hansin321BTW, I tried fixing by removing the DRI section at the end of /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but this didn't help anything.  It was more of a guess than anything.05:14
Jester45hansin321, do you know if your card hard direct rendering and what driver its using05:25
Jester45also have you tried using the recovery options when in grub05:26
Jester45option* its the same kernel but in single user mode05:26
hansin321Jester45: Not sure.  I'll try and figure it out.  I think I may have screwed up either the xorg configuration or I setting a configuration that hangs my laptop (composite; I should have known better 'cuz this laptop is too old for that sort of thing).05:31
hansin321An XFCE configuration that is...05:32

Apsentihello. could anyone tell me how to add a "create folder" option in xfce's menu?07:41
viddApsenti, create folder?07:41
viddwhat do you mean?07:41
Apsentiby right-clicking on the xfdesktop, I want to have an option in the menu of creating a new folder (on the desktop or elsewhere).07:42
ApsentiI can edit the menu, but don't know which command to use (looking for some sort of a graphical mkdir)07:43
viddApsenti, right-clicking on the desktop DOES give you the option to create a folder there07:44
ApsentiI just get the xfce menu07:44
Apsentihow do I do it?07:44
viddah...you changed the default right-click option....07:45
Apsentiyes, I think so... can't remember :) ... how do I reset that back?07:46
viddgot to the settings>desktopsettings07:46
viddthen the behavior tab07:47
viddremove the check from "show menu"07:47
Apsentiwell, it says about enabling the window list by middle click there07:47
Apsentithere's no option for creating a folder in there07:48
viddremove the check from "show menu"07:48
Apsentiok. I did.07:49
viddclose the window and right-click on your desktop07:49
Apsentinothing happens...07:49
vidd???07:50
Apsentino menu appears07:50
Apsentino window... etc07:50
viddyou dont get a menu at all?07:51
Apsentino menu...07:51
viddok...07:51
viddgo back to the desktop preferences....07:51
viddgot to the settings>desktopsettings07:51
Apsentisee, that's why I was thinking of adding a command for creating a folder by editing the menu...07:51
viddon the "appearences" tab.....07:52
Apsentiok. I'm there07:52
viddis "allow xfce to manage your desktop" checked?07:52
Apsentiyep07:52
viddhrm.....07:52
vidddid you install from an upgrade, or a live cd?07:53
Apsentiare you able of creating a folder this way?07:53
Apsentia cd07:53
ApsentiI use dapper btw07:53
viddah....07:53
viddTHAT explains everything07:54
Apsentihad some video-card problems with feisty07:54
viddto the best of my knowledge, you cant right-click to make folders on the desktop in dapper07:54
viddget edgy07:55
vidd=] 07:55
Apsentionly when on a folder07:55
Apsenti+the mouse-pointer is07:55
ApsentiI had the same v-card trouble with edgy as well07:55
Apsentiif I click on say a folder I get the create new folder... but that folder will be _inside_ the one I've clicked on07:56
Pabloand how would you expect it to work?07:57
Apsentino!07:57
Apsentiwell it created it on the desktop!07:57
Apsentiat last!07:57
ApsentiI had the idea that it would create the folder _inside_ the folder the pointer was over... when I click on clean desktop I don't get that menu... anyhow...07:58

viddthere is also the CLI method....but i assume you want the graphical way08:01
ApsentiI can do that with xkill too, but... when I logout and then login, nautilus is still there08:02
viddyeah08:02
Apsentithere's no other way, right?08:02
=== vidd does not know if that (annoying as all get-out) save session option is available on the quit menu in dapper
Apsentinop08:04
viddthen...ummm....i dont think there is any other way.....08:05
Apsentiok. thanks for all. bye.08:05
