[00:00] maybe gparted didnt finish writing the filesystem? [00:00] maybe I think i did get an error [00:00] e2fsck -f is this a fdisk command? [00:00] no [00:01] not that i am aware of [00:01] or this: resize2fs -p [00:01] anyidea what app that is? [00:01] those are separate apps [00:02] I wish there was an mdadm gui to stream line this stuff. now I'm just trying to learn the different commands so I know what I'm doing :) [00:02] e2fsck and resize2fs are appropriately named [00:02] the first is to check a file system [00:02] file system check? filesystem resize? [00:02] anyone running dapper on a mac G3? [00:03] if you want to use fdisk on a drive then its sudo fdisk /dev/hd* where * is the letter of the drive [00:03] and that formats the entire drive? [00:04] no [00:04] well it can [00:04] its not a command its a program [00:04] oh I think I understand [00:05] so if i wanted to partition the secondary master i would do fdisk /dev/hdc [00:06] then it will spit out some info on the number of cylinders on the disk and then display Command 9m for help): [00:06] yes would that automatically format the drive? how do I set partition size, number etc [00:07] no its not automatic [00:07] and it doesnt format [00:07] just partitions [00:07] ok that would tell fdisk to work with that drive? [00:07] you format afterwards [00:07] yeah [00:07] ok thanks for being so patient :) [00:07] np [00:10] <_slvmchn_> is there a default partitioning tool in xubuntu [00:11] lol lots of partitioning questions today [00:11] yes and no [00:11] there isnt a graphical one by default [00:12] sudo apt-get install gparted will get you one [00:12] or you can use the program fdisk from a terminal [00:12] cfdisk from the terminal is a little nicer, and also installed by default [00:13] forgot about that one [00:13] I think I successfully formated a drive with ext3 it has a lost+found folder in it. Is it like a recycle bin folder? can I delete it? just curious [00:14] don't delete it... fsck will put files there if they are found to be corrupt [00:14] ^ditto [00:15] ok ty [00:31] yay this hard drive is dieing [00:32] congratulations! [00:32] is it a maxtor by anychance? [00:32] now i gotta dig through my stack of drive to find another 10gig 7200 rpm drive [00:33] stack hu? [00:33] yeah i work in a PC recycling place [00:33] wow dream job [00:34] what part of the world are you in? [00:34] and is that a maxtor drive that is dieing on you by any chance? [00:34] washington [00:35] of course its a maxtor [00:35] ive not been very nice too it [00:36] lol [00:37] you can always count on maxtors to die on you [00:37] i have 4 operating systems on it, its constantly being formatted, zeroed and used [00:37] I am yet to have a failed wd [00:37] still... [00:37] ive had bunch of failed western digis [00:38] and maxtors and seagate and deathstars [00:38] I have a western digital I dropped about 5feet on to a concrete surface still ticking :) [00:38] i have had about 12 maxtors only have 4 left [00:39] oldest was 3years [00:39] ooo i found two identical 10gb 7200rpm drives [00:39] what do you do with the recycled computers? [00:39] i see a mirrored array in my future [00:39] if they work then we fix em up reload OS and sel [00:39] sell* [00:39] where do u get them from? [00:40] otherwise we take out the good parts and the rest gets broken down [00:40] do youhave a wevsite? [00:40] people [00:40] website* [00:40] www.pcrecycle.net [00:40] cpu full tower is a working computer? [00:41] ? [00:42] http://www.pcrecycle.net/prices.html [00:43] thats the cost to recycle the computer [00:43] thats not what we sell them for [00:44] oh makes better sense that way [00:44] can I buy some hard drives from you guys? [00:44] I am always looking for smaller drives to be the os drive [00:44] if you are in the WA area [00:45] I can't pay to have it shipped? [00:45] think we have an ebay page [00:45] I'm in alabama currently [00:45] yeah you could do that too [00:45] ok ill send you private chat since we're off topic [00:46] surprised TheSheep hasnt attacked us with ubotu yet [00:46] lol [00:47] it says private messages from unregistered users are blocked :( [00:47] are you unregistered?

[01:25] allow me to grow a raid 5 array [01:26] I havn't reached that stage yet but just want to make sure It's set when I do. [01:26] hmm [01:27] where does that config go? [01:27] suppose you could try adding a drive and then do df -h [01:27] is that a kernel thing? [01:27] of so then look at /boot/conf-`uname` [01:28] yes it is kernel [01:29] so yeah, the config file for the running kernel is in /boot/config-blahblah [01:29] meaning /boot/config-$(uname -r) [01:29] now I have another problem when I used gparted it mounted the disk to the desktop and I want to unmount it before I set up the raid array do I have to do this? will it unmount itself? [01:29] ok ill check thanks guys [01:30] cool it is set to y in 7.10 :) [01:31] #unmount /media/disk or #unmount dev/sdc1 isn't the way to go is it? [01:31] umount, not unmount [01:32] lol ok I'm such a freakin noob [01:32] must not be too much of one if you can set up a RAID array [01:32] you should be able to unmount based on either the device name or the mount point [01:33] ok I tried both it says not mounted in mtab [01:34] evil tech thanks to copy and paste :) [01:35] really odd since gparted tells me it is and I can see the disk on my desktop [01:35] I'm gonna try and stick it in a array anyway and see what happens :) [01:37] you could always type mount by itself and see if the drive shows up there [01:41] maybe its just not a permanent mount. is that why it could not be showing up in mtab? [01:42] dunno === tonyy is now known as tonyyarusso [02:12] How does one get an intel 845 to direct render under Xfce?

[05:58] I seem to have that effect on people... [05:58] .. Anyway, is there anyone here that has time for a question? [06:15] helli [06:15] hello [06:17] has anyone experienced 100% cpu load with firefox? [06:18] ... unfortunately, yes. [06:21] why can't firefox handle flash properly? [06:21] Hi, Ben_CS, I'm no expert; just a newbie waiting for help... But I had that problem with firefox too (although under Windows) [06:22] i see [06:22] I recommend using flashblock, so that you can choose when a flash movie is going to play; it worked wonders for me... Sort o... [06:22] *of [06:22] (flashblock is Fx plugin) [06:25] but on many ocasions i do need flash, and how would i know if in a specific site i need it? [06:26] well. i'll try it :) [06:26] thanks [06:27] hope firefox team would handle it [06:28] I think they have work some of the isussues out on the firefox portable version, if I rememebr correctly. [06:28] Fx 3 is about to come out, so let's just hope... [06:29] i tried firefox3, it's better but still cpu load is very high [06:30] Beta? If the end result would be that, it would be a shame to hear. [06:30] Personally, the CPU issue is the only downside with fx. [06:30] *I think [06:36] I have successfully created a raid 1 array I mounted it in /mnt/ but I can't copy anything to it. It says you do not have permission to write to this folder [06:36] can anyone tell me why I don't have permission to write to this folder /mnt/md0 [06:41] I think I need to be root? [06:41] maybe I should have mounted it in a different folder then :) [06:50] opened up nautalis in root solved the problem [06:50] good night guys [09:12] * auskadi thinks gutsy gibbon is crap, nothing works proprly with it each day anew problem [10:52] hi [11:09] hi, i keep on losing my xfce applets from one session to the next every once in a while... seems like it might be linked to the fact that battery (which is applet-monitored) is sometimes plugged in... but not sure... [11:10] mamat_, if it concerns only the volume/loudness applet then it is a bug. There is a workaround for that one, but it does not work for everyone. [11:13] hmm... oki... seems like bugs to me too ;) [12:03] Hello, I have problem with burning CD's [12:03] Gnomebaker, Brasero and Xfburn speaks "disk Id is too long" [12:03] ID* [12:03] what's whis? [12:57] Im running Compiz-Fusion in my Xubunu. But sometimes I want to switch it off to normal window manager. Is there a easy oneclick, or command to switch off compiz? Any ideas? [13:04] Hello all [13:06] hi all [13:09] I need a little of help :S. I have an external USB HD, and I don't know why, but When I connect it, I have to do a mount -a to get mounted. I've include it on fstab with "auto" option, but nothing... Even after I reboot, the HD partitions aren't mounted.. [13:09] anybody knows possible reasons? I've installed xubuntu, and udev,fuse,hal, are installed [13:09] humm. mine is formated NTFS but it comes up on my desktop [13:10] xvoltagexx, mine are NTFS too [13:11] what does the systems/disks tool say when you power your drive up? [13:11] I had the same HD connected in a Debian computer, and worked perfectly [13:12] systems/disks? I don't have that option :S. Where is it? [13:13] my disks-admin shows it as dev/sda [13:13] oh, mine is /dev/sdcX... 5,6,7 [13:14] how many usb devices you got? [13:16] uhm.. now only 3, Wifi, Mouse, HD (with power supply), in a desktop computer that has 8 connectors [13:19] USB devices can be a pain because whatever you hook up first the first time isn't always treated as the same device. [13:19] like an external drive can be a different device every time you add/remove any other usb device it is given a different path [13:26] xvoltagexx, then? what should I do? [13:27] I only want that, when I reboot the computer, the HD mounts itself [13:37] hey. I have a LVM raid0 set up on 2 of my raptor HDDs. I just did some benchmarks (hdparm -t) which concluded that each drive has a read speed of ~65-70MB/s. however, when I do the benchmark on the combined raid0, I get the same speeds as on the single drives. any ideas what might be causing the 100% slowdown? [13:47] is there a file i can edit to change the color/background color of the panes in xubuntu? (panes on the desktop) === Igorots is now known as Knightlust [13:52] anyone around this morning [13:56] nope :) === codenamekt_sleep is now known as codenamekt [14:18] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47221/ can someone have a look at that and help me pls [14:21] Is there any way to get thunar to ask you--like Nautilus does--if you're clicking on a text file with execute permissions whether you want to edit or execute? [14:40] My running kernel (in VMware) is -GENERIC. There is also a -386 option... si that the one I should go for? [14:49] generic [14:58] One more try... :) [15:00] I have an USB external HD with NTFS and ext3 pastitions. Do you know if it's normal that when I reboot, xubuntu unly mounts ext3 partitions, but not NTFS [15:00] What should I configure to make xubuntu mount every partition each time the computer reboots? [15:00] read up on /etc/fstab [15:01] totalmergeage, but ext3 partitions doesn't exist in fstab and xubuntu mounts them [15:02] oh wait, i didn't read the previous sentence :] === htownandafk_work is now known as codenamekt_work [15:03] external thingies are mounted through hal [15:03] wouldn't know if that also recognises ntfs partitions [15:04] but you can add your external hdd to /etc/fstab, and i'm sure there is also a way to mount the ntfs partition via /etc/fstab [15:04] not sure how [15:05] totalmergeage, in debian I only had to configure fstab like (for example): /dev/sda2 /media/Disk1 ntfs-3g defaults,auto,uid=1000 0 1 [15:06] But here doesn't work, don't know why [15:07] I think could be fuse, becouse when I unplug and plug the HD, it mounts like "fuseblk" filesistem :S [15:08] They want to make Linux more confortable to the final user, but they're complicating everything so much!! :D [15:08] for the final user [15:10] I'm going to reboot [15:10] bye [15:22] !dualboot [15:22] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot === Fur is now known as Furax- [16:31] re-Hi [16:32] anybody has an USB NTFS HD? [16:33] Don't know why, but after I reboot my system with xubuntu, doesn't mount USB NTFS partitions (ext3 yes) [16:33] Is it normal? [16:33] How can I configure it? === Stephen is now known as ste777 [16:40] Can anybody help with my xubuntu install please? [16:40] ste777, what's the problem? [16:41] i havent done it before. Im using the alternate CD, and im at the partition stage. Im not sure what to do exactly [16:41] I have an unused partition that i want to install ubuntu to, but im not sure how i should configure it [16:42] ste777, hm, I haven't used the alternate CD for a long time, but there's plenty of guides online [16:42] alright, thanks === thomas__ is now known as The-Kernel [17:39] What is a good mozilla plugin for video? [17:40] .mov and .mpeg [17:40] vlc? [17:53] hi all! [17:53] does anybody knows how i install google sketchup in xubuntu? [17:54] I can't install all the way from a CD because xubuntu doesn't recoqnize my cd-drive (I do can boot the basic linux system from cdrom). The solution for me is to boot from the mini.iso image and install xubuntu from the net. When I run the mini.iso in my computer, it installs the basic ubuntu. How do I get it to install xubuntu from the net? [17:54] hi everyone, this is probably a dumb question but I can't figure out how to organize the Applications menu as I'd like. [17:55] how do I add/remove apps from it [17:55] ? [17:55] proteus, menueditor? [17:57] oh, of course [17:57] thanks [17:57] np :) [17:58] has anyone instaled google sketchup in xubuntu? [17:58] why is it mainly showing --separator-- and not the programs and whatnot [17:58] ? [17:59] proteus, i've never mess with that. going to have a look... [18:02] Hi!, someone got time for a couple of questions? [18:02] Blinkiz: do an 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' [18:02] proteus, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=193093 [18:02] zoredache: After I have installed from the mini.iso? [18:03] Blinkiz: yes [18:03] zoredache: Should I install with the boot tag "server" with mini.iso? [18:04] you could, you would have a system with less of the gnome stuff [18:05] I'm going to format one of my partitions on 10Gb (that currently runs windows) and create another partition for Xubuntu, and I was wondering how much space I should allocate for Xubuntu? [18:05] I know Xubuntu needs a minimum of 1,5 GB, but what would a good buffer be? As comparison windows needs 1,3 GB (after a whole lot of uppgrades) and with programs, cache, virtual ram, etc it goes around 6GB. [18:05] I have read on some forums that Xubuntu works on 4GB. Ubuntu needs in comparison 10GB to work well. [18:05] I know there are many factors at play here, but I'm after some remmendations. For example, for win2k, a partion between 8-10 is quite sufficent. [18:05] (Sorry for the copy and paste) [18:06] hi hi [18:07] zoredache: Thanks for the help. My goal is to install a computer as a server but whit a gui. A lightweight gui. Xfce fits my needs. [18:07] How hard is it to stream music and video to the ps3 and xbox360 using ubuntu? [18:07] tuga3d, thanks dude but what a pain in the ass. :-( [18:07] blinkiz I wanted to do the same thing have you gotten samba configured? [18:08] proteus, yep, i'm still searching for a better solution. i thought that the menu editor worked diferent :( [18:08] Haven't installed yet, but yes. Am having another ubuntu 7.10 server running samba, nfs and rtorrent/libtorrent [18:09] Here's a more serious problem that I'm having. I've got what used to be a directory going completely nuts. Here's what shows up with ls -al :"?--------- ? ? ? ? ? fileserv" [18:09] is it xubuntu? I didn't have much luck when I tried installing it un an xubuntu install [18:10] I can't delete it, I cant put stuff in it [18:10] and programs that expect to be there won't start [18:11] I mean, when does ls -al just say 'wtf is this?' [18:12] zoredache: The boot command (in mini.iso) "server" doesn't work. Do you know how I can install a minimal installation from the net so I can run 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' after? [18:12] you might want to reboot your system to rescue mode and do an fsck on the partition [18:12] that's an idea [18:13] Anyone? partition is a pain in th ass, I would like to get it right the first try... [18:13] it sounds like you have some serious fs problems [18:13] but only on that directory, which was just where I mounted smb shares. it was empty [18:14] Blinkiz: I have never used a the mini.iso for *buntu... But I would guess there is some what to get the installer into expert mode and then you can choose to install no task... you should get a cli system when you are done [18:15] I'll try fsking it [18:15] I used the mini.iso there was an excellent tutorial I used I have been trying to find it but no luck [18:15] I'll try some more [18:17] hmm it requires that you just use the command server as you have tried that's what I did. [18:17] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal [18:17] did you get the minimal cd from here---> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [18:20] zoredache I was successful setting up a raid 1 array do you know what would cause it to want to resync at boot up? did I shut it down improperly? [18:21] thyrax: I got the installation tips and mini.iso from the url you specified. The guide says I should type "server" at the boot prompt. This step doesnt work for me. Hmmm [18:22] it would resync if wasn't shutdown properly... it also does a rsync when it is first setup, and the first time can take many hours [18:22] my first sync on a pair of 500GB drives took almost a day on the old computer I was running [18:23] ok that's what I thought. since It was just a test I didn't bother shutting down properly I guess it was still writing to it [18:23] blinkiz it might have something to do with the 7.10 iso? [18:23] Mine took about 3 hours approx [18:23] but the drives were empty [18:26] Blinkiz: use 'cli' [18:26] thyrax: Because "server" doesn't work as a command, am writing "cli" as zoredache suggested. Should install a minimal system. After that, I can run my apt-get commands and get what I want :-) [18:27] cool is it working? If it works out for you well I might give it a try :) [18:27] Yeah. What 10 minutes and I can tell you how it did go [18:28] cool If I'm not active in the channel just send me a pm [18:29] My goal is to have a raid 5 server running samba/upnp for media streaming [18:30] zoredache any idea why the video signal would be dropped in ubuntu 7.10 right as grub is loading and then as I am shutting down? [18:32] does grub load a different resolution or do some sort of scan. the screen says: starting_ then please wait. and immediately quickly fades to now signal [18:32] no* signal [18:32] been searching the web havn't found a resolution yet [18:33] no, I don't know anything about that [18:34] ok I think I might have asked you already wasn't sure if it was you or evil_tech [18:35] probably both :D [18:35] you did ask before yes [18:37] Ok I have another question. if I decide to do a clean install how do I go about recovering my raid array. also If I want to start from scratch whats the best way to format and remake a raid array would that even be required? [18:44] Having a problem. When I should install *ubuntu from CD, I can't get longer than the partition step. I get this error: "Device /dev/sdb has a logical sector size of 2048. Not all part of GNU Parted support this at the moment, and the working code is HIGHLY EXPERIMENT" I have one hard drive at IDE primary and one CD-ROM drive at IDE secondary. [18:44] My cdrom doesnt work completely. Hmm [18:46] is installing xubuntu off of an usb stick possible/difficult? i don't have any blank cd's on me at the moment... [18:47] arttu: I am sure it is possible, but it is probably also difficult [18:48] I solved my above problem by unplugging the power to the cdrom after I had booted the mini.iso file [18:48] :) [18:48] arttu: Recommend you to PXE boot if possible. It's easy [18:49] arttu: Check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [18:51] hello everybody [18:51] i need some help [18:51] TuxCrafter: Welcome to haven :) [18:51] heaven I mean [18:52] I wouldn't call it that but what do you need? [18:52] I have this problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173943 [18:52] Launchpad bug 173943 in inkscape "gutsy - inkscape - horizontal aligned font characters are not rendered correctly, they are put on each other instead of next to each other" [Undecided,New] [18:52] I would really like to have some xubuntu users install inkscape [18:52] and test if it works on there system [18:52] sudo aptitude inkscape [18:53] would some xubuntu users volunteer to help ? [18:53] TuxCrafter: I can assure you that it works, although your command won't install anything [18:54] sudo aptitude install inkscap[e [18:54] thyrax: Jepp, the "cli" install did work. Gave me a minimal system where I can use the tool apt-get. [18:54] sudo aptitude install inkscape [18:54] hehe [18:54] So now I can choose whatever I want to install :) [18:54] cool what sort of goodies do you plan to install? [18:54] xubuntu desktop? [18:55] TheSheep: what exactly can you assure that works? [18:55] TuxCrafter: also, using aptitude will make it impossible to track packages with synaptic [18:55] Xfce, samba, nfs and a torrent client.. [18:55] blinkiz: samba and mdadm would be what I'll need to get started. [18:55] TuxCrafter: I use inkscape to work for living, and I use almost all of its features [18:56] I didn't have a good experience with the torrent client I had selected. do you have one you have found to be good? [18:56] TheSheep: what do you mean exactly can you provide me with some background information [18:56] I have used libtorrent/rtorrent when I didn't have a gui. But I can't get that one to be stable. When I download at 9-10 MB/sec, my computer hangs some times. [18:57] I am stuck using windows for torrenting and plan to just copy it over to my linux server every time I reach a couple hundred gigs [18:57] yeah nothing felt stable for me either :( [18:58] TheSheep: I cant get my inkscape text working and i have no idea what is responsible for the malfunctions, i would really appreciate some help finding a good solution [18:58] TuxCrafter: background information: Inkscape works for me correctly I never had anything similar to your bug [18:58] thyrax: Am going to try Deluge [18:58] TuxCrafter: di you compile something yourself? [18:58] TuxCrafter: anything involving pango, for example? [18:59] TheSheep: I believe he may have been asking about why aptitude breaks synaptic but I could be wrong [18:59] idd [19:00] TuxCrafter: aah, well both aptitute and apt-get/synaptic keep track of which packages were installed as dependencies and which were installed at user's request [19:00] TuxCrafter: they use that information for the 'autoremove' command, for example [19:00] I haven't decided if I should install the complete xubuntu desktop or only Xfce. Am having 512 MB RAM and a P3 800 Mhz... [19:00] TuxCrafter: the problem is, aptitude stores it in a separate database, not accessible for apt-get and or synaptics [19:01] TheSheep: and aptitude does not keep track of which packages were installed as depencies [19:01] ? [19:01] ah ok [19:01] TuxCrafter: it does, but in a separate database [19:01] TheSheep: ok [19:01] I was told about deluge but all the documentation seemed vague. wasn't app-gettable [19:01] thyrax: I use Transmission, it's a gui app [19:01] I went over to aptitude on the advice of some articles i found on the internet [19:02] thyrax: before tha tI used rtorrent [19:02] thyrax: Seems like Deluge has the biggest community among the linux torrent clients [19:02] TuxCrafter: it's ok as long as you only use one of them [19:02] Thesheep: is it light and fast? easy to configure? handle multiple torents? [19:02] TuxCrafter: but as most users probably use apt-get or synaptics, it's best to stick to that when giving advices [19:02] TheSheep: sometimes i use synaptic sometimes apt-get and sometimes aptitude :-p [19:03] thyrax: not sure about light/fast, requires no configuration and handles multiple torrents [19:03] blinkiz: I think I'll look into it again. coming from windows I couldn't find an easy way to install it. [19:03] thesheep: is it stable? [19:03] !info transmission [19:03] transmission: free, lightweight BitTorrent client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.72.dfsg-1 (gutsy), package size 7 kB, installed size 56 kB [19:04] thyrax: You can install it from svn and always get the latest. Deluge has a guide for ubuntu in the FAQ. [19:04] I'll look into it then :) [19:04] thyrax: looks like < 1.0 [19:04] 56kb for a torrent client! Jissess [19:04] looks to light for me! :D [19:04] Blinkiz: it has icons and graphics in the package [19:04] Thesheep: yeah would that be a problem? [19:04] TheSheep: but back on my real problem with inkscape, i have not compiled anything myself, i also have disabled pango [19:04] thyrax: no idea [19:04] i have no idea how to debug and fix the problem [19:05] TuxCrafter: you mean you tried both with pango enabled and disabled? [19:05] blinkiz: I'll look into it. once I get my install and raid 5 sorted out [19:05] So why raid 5 and not raid 0? [19:06] It's for a file server [19:06] I mean raid 1. [19:06] and raid 0 offers no redudancy [19:07] raid 1 would mean 50% total drive capacity. while raid 5 is (n-1)x single disk capacity. [19:07] where n is the total number of drives [19:07] so my 5x500gigs should give me roughly 1.8TB [19:08] formatted. [19:08] 5 disks. Okay :) [19:08] Raid 5 it is [19:08] TheSheep: i have MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 in my /etc/environment, i thought it myth be related so i tested uncomment it but it did not make any difference [19:08] yeah If you get samba configured on xubuntu I may make the switch. I couldn't manage it I might not have tried hard enough [19:09] TuxCrafter: you need to relog for it to take effect [19:09] it easy. I can show you the guide I folloed [19:09]
