| starvinmarvin | I'm trying to copy files from /home/user/ to another mounted hard drive. I've tried many folders at once and only one folder. Each time, all of the windows just close about 1/3 the way through the copy. Any suggestions? | 01:10 |
|---|---|---|
| starvinmarvin | Why would the file manager's just close? Am I missing something? | 01:16 |
| cheeseboy | TheSheep you around ? | 01:16 |
| starvinmarvin | He's busy, someone is trying to take a nap. | 01:17 |
| cheeseboy | starvinmarvin you know python? | 01:18 |
| starvinmarvin | can't say that I do...well I could, but it would be a lie. | 01:18 |
| hellekin | starvinmarvin: are you using drag'n'drop? Then try cp -r /home/user/ /path/to/your/target/ from the terminal instead | 01:18 |
| starvinmarvin | do I have to use the command line? My terminal isn't working, so I'd have to log out. | 01:19 |
| starvinmarvin | Shouldn't things just work? | 01:19 |
| hellekin | terminal not working? how that :] | 01:19 |
| TheSheep | starvinmarvin: no, you don't have to, but using the commandline you have a chance to see the error messages :) | 01:20 |
| hellekin | my printer driver just froze the kernel... Huh. | 01:20 |
| starvinmarvin | well it wasn't working the first time cause it would crash xfce (sp?) I read about the bug and how to fix it with an update. | 01:20 |
| starvinmarvin | now..instead of crasing xfce it just opens a terminal window and sits there, open. No cursor or nothing. I can move the window around, but i can't type anything in it | 01:20 |
| starvinmarvin | Unfortunately I don't know how to fix that one. | 01:21 |
| starvinmarvin | All the while trying to fix my shares i'm running into 19 other issues. I'm pooped. | 01:21 |

| Balaams_Miracle | I've a question about hardware. I am going to need a new harddisk to replace my dying PATA harddisk which is currently hda1, if i were to replace it with a SATA drive, will the designation change to sda1? If so, how much problems could i expect if i copied the contents of my current drive to the new one using the dd command? | 04:29 |
| retardo | which one should i use if I want to connect to my xubuntu by SSH ? | 04:43 |
| retardo | which program | 04:43 |
| retardo | in xubuntu | 04:43 |
| retardo | not from the pc that connects | 04:43 |
| retardo | anyone? | 04:53 |
| Balaams_Miracle | Sorry, i've never used it | 04:57 |
| Balaams_Miracle | However, i would imagine that on the connecting PC, you use SSH, on the PC that you connect to, i believe you should have openssl server (or something like that) | 04:58 |
| retardo | shouldnt it be openssh server ? | 05:00 |
| retardo | http://www.debianadmin.com/administer-your-ubuntu-server-remotely.html | 05:02 |
| Pumpernickel | !info openssh-server | 05:03 |
| ubotu | openssh-server: Secure shell server, an rshd replacement. In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.3p2-8ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 230 kB, installed size 596 kB | 05:03 |
| Pumpernickel | Balaams_Miracle: If you're on Feisty, they'd both be named using the /dev/sd* naming convention because of the libata change. | 05:03 |
| Pumpernickel | Also, dd is really really not supposed to be used as an archival tool, that way. | 05:04 |
| retardo | well.. that link i gave is teh thing.. its working :) | 05:05 |
| Balaams_Miracle | Pumpernickel: I've upgraded from Dapper => Edgy => Feisty. And i do my archiving using a backup tool. However, i was told that dd will duplicate a harddisk to another, so that's how i was planning on using it. | 05:06 |

| Ghostvirus | Balaams_Miracle: what's the problem? | 05:25 |
| Balaams_Miracle | I've been told that there is a command that will clone a harddisk to another. I was also told that dd would do that, but according to Pumpernickel, that's not correct. But what should i use instead then? | 05:26 |
| Ghostvirus | hm, that's a little beyond me | 05:27 |
| Ghostvirus | i'm guessing no one on the forums knew? | 05:27 |
| Balaams_Miracle | Didn't try the forums yet. I was here when the question popped up in my head :-) | 05:28 |

| thyko | totalwormface: thanks again | 12:54 |
| totalwormface | thyko: otherwise there are some smb browsers which should do the same trick, but when you prefer thunar first try that howto :] | 12:54 |
| totalwormface | thyko: if it won't work you could try to run just 'fusesmb' or something like 'xsmbrowser', try to do a 'apt-cache search smb browser' to find some more smb browsers :p | 12:55 |

| rockets | the user is just ubuntu | 10:51 |
| rockets | and i tried that | 10:51 |
| hyper__ch | then use just ubuntu | 10:51 |
| rockets | tried it. | 10:52 |
| hyper__ch | you sure you boot from the cd? | 10:52 |
| rockets | yes . . . | 10:52 |
| rockets | theres no linux on the system | 10:52 |
| rockets | its got Win ME installed | 10:52 |
| rockets | im booting from the cd | 10:52 |
| hyper__ch | that is strange | 10:52 |
| hyper__ch | did you do a cd check for defects? | 10:53 |
| rockets | nope | 10:53 |
| rockets | ill try that if this doesnt work | 10:53 |
| The-Kernel | ? | 10:53 |
| rockets | waiting for it to reboot | 10:53 |
| rockets | hmm it shouldnt be taking THIS long on 800 Mhz + 128 MB ram | 10:55 |
| hyper__ch | 128mb isn't that much | 10:55 |
| rockets | i know its not | 10:55 |
| rockets | but this is xubuntu | 10:55 |
| hyper__ch | you remember, it's loading a whole sysem into memory | 10:55 |
| rockets | yes i know | 10:55 |
| hyper__ch | xubuntu isn't lightweight either | 10:55 |
| rockets | oh no? then whats it for? | 10:56 |
| rockets | thats the whole point of xubuntu according to the site. . . | 10:56 |
| hyper__ch | dsl or featherlinux are lightweight | 10:56 |
| rockets | featherlinux and dsl are no good for this situation, non geeks are using it | 10:57 |
| hyper__ch | one doesn't have to be a geek to use a fully installed and setup system | 10:58 |
| rockets | im not setting up fluxbox for a non geek | 10:58 |
| rockets | thats a horrible idea | 10:59 |
| hyper__ch | that's your imaginatino | 11:00 |
| rockets | no its not | 11:00 |
| rockets | its not easy to use enough | 11:00 |
| hyper__ch | most people don't do anything than writing some text, surfing the net and reading email | 11:00 |
| rockets | you can insist that it is | 11:00 |
| rockets | but its not. | 11:00 |
| hyper__ch | even my mom uses now dsl on her als computer | 11:00 |
| rockets | great | 11:00 |
| rockets | have fun with that | 11:00 |
| hyper__ch | she has no troubles with it | 11:01 |
| rockets | ok well you have fun with that. personally im not giving a non-geek dsl | 11:01 |
| hyper__ch | that's your decision | 11:01 |

| worried | hello, i'm a newbie who wants to switch from windows 98 to xubuntu. i'm on a 180mhz processor, 30mb ram, 8gb hd | 11:42 |
| Ben_Cs | worried: bad idea. your pc will work too slow | 11:55 |
| The-Kernel | worried: I don't think even Xubuntu will run on that, try DSL or Puppy linux | 11:55 |
| Ben_Cs | worried: better try DSL or fluxbuntu | 11:55 |
| Ben_Cs | i agree, DSL will be best 4 u | 11:55 |
| Ben_Cs | cause fluxbuntu was a bit slow on P2 200mhz | 11:56 |
| Ben_Cs | when tried it | 11:56 |
| The-Kernel | Fluxbuntu is still a bit....tweaky...as someone called it | 11:56 |
| Ben_Cs | officially xubuntu need 300mhz or higher am i right The-Kernael? | 11:56 |
| The-Kernel | its unusual | 11:56 |

| Ben_Cs | hey Jester45 | 11:57 |
| The-Kernel | Ben_Cs: yes, however I've been able to get it to run on a 166 MHz Pentium Pro, its the ram that'll kill him | 11:57 |
| The-Kernel | I had plenty of ram (126 mb) when I did that | 11:57 |
| Ben_Cs | i had 256mb ram on P2 266mhz and xubuntu was still slow | 11:58 |
| Ben_Cs | even fluxbuntu was a bit lagging | 11:58 |
| The-Kernel | yeah it was slow...but it was completely usable | 11:59 |
| Jester45 | command line would be nice on this systems | 11:59 |
| The-Kernel | A good fileserver | 12:00 |

| Shaunwin | New to this all | 12:18 |
| Jester45 | give them a bit of time its all volunteers so they might be using their comps right now | 12:19 |

| Shaunwin | Busy Box comes up & finaly initramfs | 12:26 |
| Shaunwin | Age of PC should not call all this surely | 12:27 |
| Jester45 | it could | 12:28 |
| Shaunwin | ok | 12:28 |
| Shaunwin | Any idea what segmentation fault is | 12:28 |
| Jester45 | new additions to bios syandards maybe | 12:28 |
| Jester45 | the program broke | 12:28 |
| Shaunwin | ok | 12:29 |
| Shaunwin | Guess unless I update bios - no chance of loading it.. | 12:29 |
| Jester45 | well... | 12:30 |
| Shaunwin | For a nother time..Very late my side - hope to chat again.Tx 4 the chat bye 4 now | 12:32 |
| Jester45 | old bios cant be updated | 12:32 |
| Shaunwin | tx 4 taht | 12:33 |
| Jester45 | most old ones, but DSL has an option to use an alternative iso | 12:33 |
| Jester45 | that has a diffrent boot up options to start on old hardware | 12:33 |
| Jester45 | DSL= Damn Small Linux | 12:33 |

| Jester45 | you would have to install DSL and then chagne your list of sofware to xubuntu then update but im not sure if that wiill work | 12:35 |
