| evil_tech | could someone point me to a link that explains how to pass kernel and module parameters | 01:54 |
| newUser | is there someone who can help me | 02:13 |
| newUser | i need to install xubuntu in PC a for PC b | 02:14 |
| zoredache | sorry? | 02:15 |
| newUser | i have a laptop without cd-rom and no floppy and no lan / internet | 02:15 |
| newUser | so i take the harddrive and install xubuntu on my pc | 02:16 |
| newUser | and the move the disk again to my laptop | 02:16 |
| newUser | is it possible | 02:16 |
| zoredache | yes, it is possible | 02:16 |
| newUser | is there any special trick that need to be done ? | 02:16 |
| iCEifer | hello, how can I get the xfce-dusk theme to work with Ubuntu? can I download it? | 02:17 |
| zoredache | disconnect the hard drive that is actually in your desktop computer so the laptop drive will be the only drive | 02:17 |
| newUser | hmm thnk :) | 02:18 |
| zoredache | make sure you install, or at least download everything you will need | 02:18 |
| zoredache | installing software without a network connection really won't work well. Make sure your laptop will be supported | 02:18 |
| zoredache | how old of a laptop are you talking about anyway? does it have usb ports? | 02:19 |
| newUser | with xubuntu i hope i got pcmcia working then connect internet | 02:19 |
| newUser | its fujitsu b2620 with broken lan | 02:19 |
| newUser | thank you zoredache | 02:20 |
| |Quest| | anyone happen to know how to passively decrypt ssl packets from a mitm? | 04:03 |
| zoredache | it isn't possible unless you can insert a ca certificate on the clients | 04:05 |
| zoredache | or the clients are dumb enough to ignore the browser warnings telling them the certificates are crap | 04:06 |
| |Quest| | zoredache talking to me? | 04:06 |
| * zoredache nods | 04:07 | |
| |Quest| | k | 04:07 |
| zoredache | what are you trying to do, or do I want to know... | 04:08 |
| |Quest| | i don't understand how it's not possible,it's confusing.how does the browser decrypt it? | 04:10 |
| zoredache | here is a video with a metaphor | 04:11 |
| zoredache | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex_ObHVftDg | 04:11 |
| |Quest| | zoredache - why can't i inject something in the client side | 04:16 |
| zoredache | what do you mean why can't you inject something client side? | 04:16 |
| zoredache | I told you. If you could get the client to install a forged CA certificate then you could intercept things. But that isn't something that is very easy to do | 04:19 |
| la_loOse | hi | 08:01 |

| gerro | hello | 13:31 |
| gerro | bleh laptop troubles but I'm back | 14:32 |
| gerro | think the thing is overheating or something | 14:33 |
| gerro | anyway I read this article about conky and other system monitors I ws wondering what this statement meant " Conky is very flexible and very configurable but because it's defaultly in the root window makes it unsympathic." | 14:33 |
| stmartin | Hi! I wanna ask you how to safely plug-out flash memory on xubuntu? | 14:34 |
| gerro | stmartin: when you see the icon on your desktop right click it and choose unmount | 14:37 |
| stmartin | ok, thanks | 14:37 |
| gerro | otherwise it might still be writing stuff | 14:37 |
| stmartin | and how to see my files on my win xp drives (c: and d:), I have dual boot | 14:37 |
| gerro | it should be displayed already.. isn't it? | 14:38 |
| stmartin | no | 14:38 |
| gerro | if its not you'd have to add its configuration into /etc/fstab | 14:38 |
| gerro | it might already be there but commented out so you don't accidentally trash your windows drive not knowing what it is | 14:39 |
| stmartin | I receive this error | 14:39 |
| stmartin | error: device /dev/sda5 is not removable | 14:39 |
| stmartin | error: could not execute pmount | 14:39 |
| gerro | sda5 is which device now? | 14:40 |
| gerro | df -H to see a listing of them | 14:40 |
| stmartin | I used diskmounter script | 14:43 |
| stmartin | and it worked | 14:43 |
| stmartin | thanks for the help, anyway | 14:44 |
| gerro | alright is it permanently added into /etc/fstab though? | 14:45 |
| gerro | otherwise you'll have to redo it at every boot | 14:45 |
| stmartin | It said that they are permanently added | 14:46 |
| stmartin | but they are read-only | 14:46 |
| stmartin | how can I paste something in them? | 14:46 |
| gerro | yeah to change that you have to edit it yourself | 14:46 |
| gerro | ntfs support has come a long way since then | 14:46 |
| gerro | hmm might not be a good idea giving user access to that drive though | 14:48 |
| gerro | can't you still write to it as root? | 14:48 |
| gerro | gabkdlly: yo | 14:49 |
| gabkdlly | greetings | 14:50 |
| sigma_123 | why does xubuntu not have a battery manager for laptops? | 15:03 |
| sigma_123 | in the taskbar like how kde and gnome do | 15:04 |
| gerro | it does | 15:05 |
| gerro | right click and choose add new item | 15:05 |
| gerro | scroll down the list to battery | 15:05 |
| sigma_123 | ah i see. il try that after its finished installing | 15:06 |
| sigma_123 | thanks | 15:06 |
| sigma_123 | i also noticed that the shutdown shortcut on the main menu does not work. why is this? | 15:07 |
| gerro | try applications > settings > sessions and startup all things pertaining to that should be there | 15:08 |
| sigma_123 | im refering to gutsy gibbon | 15:08 |
| gerro | yeah of course | 15:09 |
| sigma_123 | ok but when you click the menu shortcut it goes nowhere. but the button in the taskbar gives the shutdown options | 15:10 |
| Usuario | hello, a question, it is possible to install eeexubuntu from a sd card, in my eeepc ?? | 15:11 |
| gerro | eeexubuntu?? | 15:12 |
| Usuario | yes, a modified xubuntu version for the eeepc | 15:12 |
| gerro | its possible to install systems from sd card.. but not usually done | 15:12 |
| gerro | probably best to use a flash drive | 15:12 |
| Usuario | yes thats true, but i have actually the eeepc, a sd card, a pc and the netinst cd | 15:13 |
| gerro | no clue, you tried checking the forum? if nothing there might want to make a post | 15:14 |
| Usuario | so wanted to know if it was possible.... althrought i have to buy a flash memory | 15:14 |
| gerro | can probably just borrow someones if you know of someone | 15:15 |
| gerro | just be sure to remove the boot flag when your done might cause them troubles | 15:15 |
| Usuario | okay! thanks | 15:16 |
| stmartin | gerro can u help me? | 15:25 |
| stmartin | I still can't find the ntfs-config package | 15:25 |
| gerro | ntfs-config package? | 15:25 |
| stmartin | yes | 15:26 |
| stmartin | I have 6.06 LST Dapper | 15:26 |
| stmartin | how can I make read-write | 15:26 |
| gerro | I'm sorry not experienced in handling that version dual booted | 15:26 |
| gerro | like i've said you have to edit /etc/fstab | 15:26 |
| gerro | should be a howto on the ubuntu site | 15:27 |

| martinZGR | hello, i'm on xubuntu 7.10... do you know anything about charging devices from USB? i didn't try it by now cause first i want to discharge it and then fully charge - but i've heard that sometimes due to power saving settings charging does not defaultly work | 18:35 |

| martinZGR | ok,thanks:) hope my will work too:) | 18:43 |
| darkk^ | what web-browser, IM client and office tools are used in xubuntu ? | 20:17 |
| darkk^ | or redirect me to right place please, I tried to find software list at xubuntu website, but found nothing. | 20:18 |
| vidd | firefox, pidgin, abi-word, gnumeric spreadsheet | 20:20 |
| darkk^ | Is it possible to change abi-word/gnumeric to OOo without headache about integration? Is it as simple as "aptitude install ..." ? | 20:23 |
| vidd | yep | 20:26 |
| vidd | apt-get install [opplication] then (if you want) apt-get remove [other apps] | 20:27 |
| darkk^ | Ok, happy to hear that, going to try xubuntu on low-mem (256mb) machine. I know, that OOo will be slow there, but abi-word had lots of issues while reading M$ .doc's. | 20:30 |

| Ryuki | hello. | 22:46 |
| soldats | hello | 22:56 |
| Ryuki | okay. I have question on STV0689 driver. | 22:56 |
| Ryuki | it's a webcam driver, but I tried to figure out how to get it working. | 22:56 |
| Ryuki | anybody? | 23:11 |
| Ryuki | wow really quiet. | 23:35 |
| castrox | guys.. just installed xubuntu on an old laptop.. everything works fine for me except the graphics.. it has a neomagic video card. Seems the installation picked up on this and seemingly installed the driver.. but I cannot "modprobe neomagic" since that module doesn't exist. Any ideas? Shouldn't it exist? xorg.conf has it as a loadable module. | 23:40 |
| castrox | of course lsmod doesn't yield any neomagic driver. | 23:41 |
| soldats | !neomagic | 23:41 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about neomagic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:41 |
| castrox | I'm afraid I've searched the almighty google for quite a while. :-( | 23:42 |
| Ryuki | lol me too | 23:42 |
| castrox | having problems with neomagic? | 23:43 |
| Ryuki | nope | 23:43 |
| Ryuki | I jsut have problems with my webcam | 23:43 |
| Ryuki | everyone is quiet lol | 23:43 |
| soldats | castrox, did yousee this i didnt read it but it yet though http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/x11/xserver-xorg-driver-neomagic | 23:44 |
| Ryuki | http://pastebin.com/m4df555a2 It is my decive name, and I did read the webcam site | 23:44 |
| castrox | funny thing I installed xubuntu on an old Dell the other day.. like a week ago.. has Neomagic aswell.. worked fine - loaded the neomagic module and everything.. this IBM laptop didn't get it :-\ | 23:44 |
| castrox | soldats, checking | 23:44 |
| castrox | soldats, yeah it's installed in fact. Weird huh.. it only installs a *.so file - and not a *.ko. Don't know what I'm supposed to do with that. Any idea? | 23:45 |
| soldats | .so is the for nameserver for somolia i thought | 23:48 |
| castrox | searching the system for neomagic only turns up some uninteresting man pages and the exact files listed in the repos.. which includes a *.so file. | 23:48 |
| soldats | hmm wierd | 23:48 |
| soldats | maybe try looking for all the packages on the other laptop and see what the other doesnt have and install the missing ones | 23:49 |
| castrox | soldats, don't have it at home right now.. :{ | 23:50 |
| castrox | checking if anyone had this problem on #ubuntu, thanks for helping soldats | 23:51 |
| methods[laptop] | i installed xubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop together but when my system loads i see the xfce boot image i would like ubuntu to my dominant desktop... how do i change this ? | 23:52 |
| soldats | np sorry i havent ever dealt with neomagic so im not too sure | 23:52 |
| castrox | methods[laptop], you mean at the boot? system startup? or the login manager or what? | 23:54 |
| Ryuki | !webcam | 23:54 |
| ubotu | Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 23:54 |
| methods[laptop] | at boot | 23:55 |
| methods[laptop] | i see xubuntu | 23:55 |
| castrox | methods[laptop], because you've installed xubuntu, correct? And you have another installation with ubuntu or? | 23:55 |
| methods[laptop] | xubuntu was my cd install... and i used apt-get to install ubuntu-desktop | 23:56 |
| soldats | xubuntu is ubuntu with xfce so naturally xfce will be the dominant boot image | 23:56 |
| soldats | ubuntu desktop basically installes gnome and nautilus i believe but youll have to make the default boot to gnome for a different image i believe but im not sure how to do it i havent used ubuntu gnome in a long time | 23:58 |
