| Pumpernickel | The 'supported hardware' wiki may have documentation re: what it takes to get your wifi hardware working in Feisty. | 05:33 |
| cclampblues | yeah, i appriciate that, but why would one device be supported in fiesty but not edgy? | 05:35 |
| cclampblues | err. vice versa rather | 05:35 |
| cameron_ | I have Azureus3.0.1.6.jar on my desktop, when I run cameron@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ java Azureus3.0.1.6.jar | 05:36 |
| cameron_ | , I get cameron@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ java Azureus3.0.1.6.jar | 05:36 |
| Pumpernickel | I'd be surprised if it wasn't supported in Feisty. Most wifi problems are just configuration problems. | 05:38 |
| cclampblues | thats what i think the case is here. but i am at a loss as what could be the problem. | 05:39 |
| Pumpernickel | That's why I recommended the 'supported hardware' wiki. It often shows what it takes to make it work. | 05:39 |
| cclampblues | right but my device is not listed | 05:40 |

| mikubuntu | or i can 'go back' ... i'm lost | 05:48 |
| Pumpernickel | If it's going to be set up the way you want, go ahead. | 05:48 |
| mikubuntu | Pumpernickel: i don't have a pref as long as it's correct for sys | 05:48 |
| mikubuntu | i am not trying to save any files or data, complete writeover win98 | 05:50 |
| mikubuntu | am i safe to proceed here, or should i go back to Option 1: Guided, recize scsi1, partition #5,sda, and used freed space; or, Option 2: Guided: use entire disk; or Option 3: Guided, use entire disk and set up LVM | 05:52 |
| Pumpernickel | Set it up however you want. | 05:53 |
| mikubuntu | its a 10.3 hard drive, and 64 ram; does that make any diff as to choice? | 05:54 |

| === tonyy [n=anthony@ubuntu/member/tonyyarusso] has joined #xubuntu | ||
| Pumpernickel | LVM is unnecessary for a disk config that small; it only really becomes useful with multiple partitions/disks. | 05:56 |
| Pumpernickel | The rest pretty much explains itself - one option to use the entire disk, the other to use just the unused space on it. | 05:57 |
| Pumpernickel | cclampblues: lo is your loopback interface. wlan0 should be your wireless interface. | 05:58 |
| cclampblues | loopback? | 05:59 |
| mikubuntu | Pumpernickel: sounds like you're saying to go with door number two | 06:00 |
| mikubuntu | so now it's creating ext3, and then swapfile ... what's the purpose of the swap? | 06:01 |
| cclampblues | is there a terminal command to setup wlan0 directly. it shows as 0 quality, signal and noise | 06:03 |
| cclampblues | i did setup wlan0 through the network settings gui dialog | 06:03 |
| Pumpernickel | There's ifconfig/iwconfig. | 06:05 |

| cellofellow | more like firmware | 06:48 |
| Jester45 | yea | 06:48 |
| Jester45 | some older computers cant be updated | 06:48 |
| Jester45 | its like a kernel but lower level... but im guessing you dont know what those are | 06:49 |
| mikubuntu | cellofellow: thanks. so if it can't be updated, i wonder ... i bought this hard drive 2.5" enclosure one button backup thing ... can i take the hd out of the aforementioned machine, attach it to another, install xub, and then put it back in the machine with any hope for success? | 06:50 |
| Jester45 | depends on the machines | 06:50 |
| Jester45 | are the the same hardware | 06:50 |
| cellofellow | mikubuntu: if you don't customize the hardware settings, should work mostly. | 06:51 |
| mikubuntu | hmmmm.... ok | 06:51 |
| Jester45 | well biggest thing are they both intel or amd | 06:51 |
| Jester45 | you might need to reset the video settings | 06:51 |
| mikubuntu | ok. is amd what they refer to as 64 bit? | 06:51 |
| Jester45 | yea | 06:52 |
| Jester45 | well | 06:52 |
| Jester45 | someof them | 06:52 |
| Jester45 | what amd is it | 06:52 |
| cellofellow | AMD is a company like Intel. AMD came up with the x86_64 stuff first, so it gets called amd64 a lot. | 06:52 |
| cellofellow | but amd makes normal x86_32 stuff too. | 06:52 |
| mikubuntu | i don't know if i have amd on any of them; do all the mfgs make machines using either or? | 06:53 |
| mikubuntu | like does dell make some 64bit and some intel? | 06:53 |
| cellofellow | most are Intel-only shops, actually. | 06:53 |
| Jester45 | it should be fine | 06:53 |
| Jester45 | just get the 32bit one | 06:53 |
| cellofellow | Dell has lots of Intel 32 and 64, plus a bit of AMD 32 and 64. | 06:53 |
| mikubuntu | so the amd is a rarer find | 06:53 |
| cellofellow | smaller company. | 06:53 |
| Jester45 | the 64bit cpu should have the 32bit compatiblity | 06:54 |
| cellofellow | only popular with the masses in recent years. | 06:54 |
| cellofellow | If it's an AMD or Intel 64 bit CPU, it has 32 bit compatibily. | 06:54 |
| cellofellow | other brands don't bother with backwards compatibility, like IBM PowerPC and Sun SPARC 64bit versions don't work with the older 32bit. | 06:55 |
| mikubuntu | hmmmmm ... ok... i seee the software install on the desktop i'm trying to do is at 94%... i wish i thought it would be a flawless install, but i'm kinda dreading the end.... | 06:55 |
| mikubuntu | 97% and 'cleaning up' | 06:55 |
| Jester45 | dreading what? | 06:56 |
| mikubuntu | that there won't be a successful 'out of the box' install | 06:56 |
| mikubuntu | we've been trying to get x on my friends machine for three days, and she keeps having to go back livecd | 06:57 |
| mikubuntu | omg, its doing the 'grub' install now. that's where her prob has been, on boot says grub error 18, and won't boot | 06:58 |
| cellofellow | grub has good docs | 06:59 |
| mikubuntu | rebooting now, cross fingers for me plz | 06:59 |
| mikubuntu | if it works it will be mom's introduction to the early 21st century | 07:00 |
| mikubuntu | wow. xubuntu loaded up perfectly, or it seems to have at least, and this is a lot older and smaller system than my friends that we've been having so much trouble with. gonna cut out and give it a test ride, thanks for all your help guys. | 07:09 |

| Rabbitbunny | yeah, 7.04 live cd | 09:54 |
| Rabbitbunny | "desktop" | 09:54 |
| vasilije | hmmm... I didn't even give it a try, the live cd didn't recognize my picmcia wifi card. But the 6.06 does, go figure | 09:55 |
| vasilije | so I'd recommend you stick to 6.06 | 09:56 |
| vasilije | it's most stable from what I understand | 09:56 |

| vasilije | yeah, I went through that hell on the weekend, only to get back to xubuntu 6.06 again. Xserver crashed cuz of a screen lock (screen saver) bug while I was updating, I've all the ubuntu/xubuntu versions on cd now | 10:00 |
| vasilije | xubuntu 6.06 is the best for a slower machine | 10:00 |
| Rabbitbunny | ah. | 10:00 |
| Rabbitbunny | Good to know. | 10:00 |
| vasilije | just turn off the screen locking after you install | 10:01 |
| Rabbitbunny | why would the screen ever lock? | 10:01 |
| vasilije | well if you don't use the machine for a while it asks for your password, that's a screen saver option | 10:02 |
| vasilije | it's turned on by default and it's very annoying | 10:03 |

| Solid | does xubuntu work with 32mo ram? With an alternate installer of course...? | 12:54 |
| Pumpernickel | The minimum amount I've seen is usually 64MB. | 12:58 |
| Solid | Win98 works fine with 32mo, i thought that would be the same with xfce...? | 01:03 |
| pleia2 | Solid: you might want to try something line fluxbox instead | 01:05 |
| pleia2 | s/line/like | 01:05 |
| pleia2 | in theory xfce could run on 32M, but it'd be pretty awful, even on my super slimmed down laptop w/ 128M of ram the lowest I've been able to get on-bootup to get with xfce is 36M of ram usage - and that's without thunar or cups running in the background | 01:06 |
| pleia2 | or much at all running in the background, I shut down a lot of services to get that low | 01:07 |
| pleia2 | no gdm, no xscreensaver, no hald | 01:07 |
| Solid | okay, i'll try | 01:08 |
| Solid | thanks | 01:08 |
| BWMerlin | does anyone know how to restore panel? | 01:19 |

When I boot the feisty ubuntu cd it has problems connecting on my access point, with dapper I don't have that problem. But it does find the name of the wireless network. Could this be because I'm low on RAM and the ubuntu feisty live cd uses too much of it? | 02:30 |

| wubinoobi | hullo... i know this is not ezackly on target, but i wonder if someone could tell me how to back up my windows docs so that i can go ahead and do full x install on my laptop. it's just about 300 or so files in my docs, nothing heavy; no music, no video, no photos, just word and web files... i have never backed anything up since, well, ever... don't know how. | 06:21 |
| wubinoobi | oh, did i mention i don't have a burner... | 06:22 |
| TheSheep | wubinoobi: pendrive? | 06:22 |
| TheSheep | wubinoobi: network connection? | 06:22 |
| wubinoobi | bummer no burner | 06:22 |
| wubinoobi | ya, network connected | 06:22 |
| TheSheep | wubinoobi: then copy it to some other box over the network | 06:23 |
| wubinoobi | i have couple of small flash drives but i don't know how to determine how much space i need | 06:23 |
| TheSheep | no idea either, I'd assume that Windows displays file sizes somewhere, but you can never be sure | 06:24 |
| wubinoobi | TheSheep: i don't get it? whose box? | 06:24 |
| TheSheep | wubinoobi: yours, preferably | 06:24 |
| TheSheep | wubinoobi: or some friend of yours, maybe | 06:24 |
| wubinoobi | i don't see any file sizes displayed | 06:24 |
| TheSheep | wubinoobi: you can also just try if they fit :) | 06:25 |
| wubinoobi | do you mean to email them out? | 06:25 |
| TheSheep | wubinoobi: no, copy over samba or ftp or whatever | 06:25 |
| wubinoobi | omg. tech panic attack. don't know how. :) | 06:26 |
| TheSheep | wubinoobi: Refer to your user guide or call their support or something. They do have manuals and support, right? | 06:27 |

| wubinoobi | be back in a few, gonna try and track down some flash... | 06:27 |
| wubinoobi | TheSheep: na, this old laptop's way out of support, no doubt | 06:27 |
| predaeus | wubinoobi, maybe you can zip it all up and put it at some file upload site http://www.google.com/search?&q=file%20upload&meta= but be sure to chose one where your stuff is not publically accessible or so. | 06:28 |
| TheSheep | wubinoobi: but Microsoft still exists and supports their suftware? | 06:28 |
| predaeus | and where it will stay for at least a few days, in case something goes wrong with installing. | 06:28 |
| wubinoobi | i bought it 2nd hand anyways... guess i have been lucky never to have lost things for not backing up | 06:28 |
| wubinoobi | b back in a few | 06:29 |
| wubinoobi | thanks | 06:29 |
| TheSheep | wubinoobi: you could also boot ubuntu livecd and use that -- it displays file sizes and all | 06:29 |

| zorglu_ | q. i look for the ubuntu distro which use the smallest amount of ram. i bet on xubuntu. it comes in 2 versions alternate and desktop, which one should i choose ? | 08:24 |
| hyper_ch | zorglu_: well, xubuntu isn't the smallest one on ram ;) | 08:27 |
| zorglu_ | how much ram do i need to run it ? | 08:27 |
| hyper_ch | zorglu_: 64mb for the alternate install | 08:27 |
| hyper_ch | zorglu_: 128mb for the desktop cd | 08:27 |
| kstr | i use xubuntu wioth 160 mb ram | 08:27 |
| zorglu_ | hyper_ch: i plan to run it under virtualbox on a box with only 512mbyte | 08:27 |
| zorglu_ | ok good enought for me :) | 08:28 |
| hyper_ch | zorglu_: well, the desktop cd will afterwards also run on 64mb - just for running it and installtion it requires 128mb | 08:28 |
| hyper_ch | zorglu_: I'd go for the alternate install cd, it is less troublesome for installation | 08:29 |
| zorglu_ | hyper_ch: what do you mean by 'afterward' ? after what ? | 08:29 |
| hyper_ch | zorglu_: after installation ;) | 08:29 |
| zorglu_ | ah ok :) | 08:29 |
| hyper_ch | zorglu_: but 64mb is slow | 08:29 |
| hyper_ch | zorglu_: you could of course use an alternate desktop | 08:30 |
| hyper_ch | zorglu_: that would improve speed quite a bit | 08:30 |
| zorglu_ | well i think that's gonna be good engouth | 08:30 |

| zorglu_ | i just want to do some ssh on it | 08:30 |

| zorglu_ | To install Xubuntu, you need 1.5 GB of free space on your hard disk. <- from http://xubuntu.org/get | 08:43 |

| hyper_ch | larry: sure, just install it | 09:10 |
| rswolff | how to I edit my $PATH variable and persist it in multiple shells | 09:10 |
| larry | Okay, dumb question. Do you know where I can find a faq about it? | 09:10 |
| hyper_ch | larry: hmmm, have you opened add/remove programs? | 09:11 |
| larry | yes, but when I did a search for java, nothing came up | 09:11 |
| hyper_ch | larry: I guess you have to enable the other repositories | 09:11 |
| hyper_ch | larry: multiverse I think might be it | 09:11 |
| larry | i'll try that. Thanks. | 09:12 |
| larry | Bye | 09:12 |
| hyper_ch | rswolff: if you alter the $PATH variable on a running system, shouldn't it then always be the new one, no matter what shell? | 09:12 |
| rici | hyper_ch: $PATH is an environment variable. | 09:13 |
| rici | it's not a system configuration | 09:13 |
| rswolff | hyper_ch: I used the export command to add a new directory to my path statement, but when I close the terminal, and re-open it, my edits are gone | 09:13 |
| hyper_ch | rici: I know... but sure you can alter it on the system | 09:13 |
| hajhouse | TheSheep: i think my problem with nonworking utf8 in xfce4-terminal is due to Xserver misconfiguration. the program works properly when run on the machine with the breakage over ssh -X displaying on the other machine. | 09:14 |
| rici | no, you can't. you can edit the shell startup command to set it | 09:14 |
| hyper_ch | rswolff: no clue... never played with that | 09:14 |
| rswolff | rici: any thoughts? | 09:14 |
| rici | well, that was my thought :) | 09:14 |
| rswolff | rici: how can I add a directory to my path variable so that it stays | 09:15 |
| rici | see .bashrc for example | 09:15 |
| rici | in your home directory | 09:15 |
| rswolff | rici: can I just put the export statement in .bashrc? | 09:15 |
| rici | yes, .bashrc is executed whenever bash starts a shell | 09:15 |
| rswolff | rici: what is .bash_profile? | 09:16 |
| rici | it's the actual file which is run. | 09:16 |
| rici | the first thing it does is execute .bashrc | 09:16 |
| rici | the bash startup sequence is a little complex. | 09:16 |
| rici | man bash for details, but you'll get an awful lot of them | 09:17 |
| rswolff | I have a generic install of xubuntu 7, and I don't see a .bash_profile | 09:17 |
| rswolff | rici: I had to create one manually | 09:17 |
| rici | did you have a .bashrc? | 09:17 |
| rici | the files which are put by default into a newly-created user directory are in /etc/skel | 09:18 |
| rswolff | rici: I did have a .bashrc | 09:19 |
| rici | the startup details are in man bash: /INVOCATION to find the section where they're all described | 09:19 |
| rici | basically, .bash_profile is used for login shells and .bashrc is used for interactive non-login shells. | 09:20 |
| rici | that's confusing, and generally .bash_profile does the stuff that should only be done at login, and then calls .bashrc | 09:21 |
| rici | so you'd usually have both, but i don't have a pristine install any more so i can't tell you what to expect. | 09:21 |
| rici | there are also system-wide files in /etc | 09:21 |
| zorglu_ | just put it in .profile :) | 09:22 |
| rici | that works, too. | 09:23 |
| zorglu_ | just a old bourne shell reflex :) | 09:23 |

| zorglu_ | rswolff: ~/.profile | 09:24 |
