[01:02] sup [01:02] is there a known issue with the wireless in 7.10? [01:02] i was in the middle of a package update and the connection went down [01:03] i know that it is good because everyother computer in thehouse is on it... [01:03] whats the deal here? [01:03] it said "waiting for *MYSSID* key: [01:04] waiting for the network key for wireless network MYCRAP... [01:04] what is that? [01:06] the network settings panel has nothing in it... [01:06] no text no nothing [01:06] what the heck is this [01:06] ? [01:10] ok, i restarted and now it is on... [01:10] why did it go out? its only 7.5 feet away from the router! [01:10] that really sucks [01:11] does the APM cut the wireless? [01:11] is there a forum for Xubuntu? [06:07] ever heard of shift linux? [06:08] nope, just googled it website looks nice though. [06:11] it's xubuntu with different apps [06:11] it is _not_ xubuntu with different apps [06:12] shift linux is a debian based distro offering many different desktop environments [06:12] nope its not xubuntu with diff apps [06:12] boot splash screen says xubuntu [06:12] shift doesn't even use the same init process as xubuntu [06:13] i used the xfce version [06:13] meh [06:15] xfce/fluxbox version actually [06:15] wierd huh [06:17] installed conky and it lists the ubuntu 2.6.22.14-generic [06:17] neur1: then you are running gutsy i presume? [06:18] i guess [06:18] but it's a shift linux [06:18] iso [06:18] oh [06:18] uhmmm... i guess they transitioned from debian to ubuntu [06:18] i'm live now [06:19] neur1: do '/exec -o uname -a' in your irc client [06:19] without the quotes [06:19] what do you mean? [06:20] nothing ... nevermind [06:44] hi, i have quite a bad problem, i tried to switch back from the new ati-driver to the one in the repos and now each time i try to boot i get a black screen (and no video-output at all) where the xserver should start. [07:05] Anyway to change gtk2 sudo font size in Fluxbox? [07:48] anyone here awake? [07:48] yeah kinda [07:49] yawn? [07:49] :) [07:58] yawn indeed. lol its late/early i cant sleep =X [08:15] !seen vidd [08:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about seen vidd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:16] =[ [08:16] !gentoo [08:16] Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems) [08:16] hmmmm [09:04] does alpha 3 support ext4? [09:08] !hardy [09:08] Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [09:08] does anyone now whether it makes a big difference if i chgrp the files in my home folder from $user to root? [09:09] ochosi: why would you do that? [09:09] ochosi: it can break some applications, notably ssh and friends [09:09] TheSheep: hihi, i really really expected that question :) it seems that my rsync-script prefers it that way (it syncs from ext3 to fat32 on usb) [09:11] TheSheep: so you think it could really break ssh? i mean: in what way? [09:13] ochosi: ssh will refuse to use a configration directory that has improper user and group [09:14] ochosi: I'm sure there are some options for rsync to fix your problem [09:14] TheSheep: brr. that sounds not so promising. so i guess i'll have to find a way to deal with that rsync problem [09:14] TheSheep: yeah, i'll have a look at the man [09:18] TheSheep: it's weird rsync even wants to change the group-setting... it always gives me these "rsync: chgrp "filename" failed: Operation not permitted" errors [09:19] TheSheep: and using the -g (group preservation) option doesn't stop it from doing that [09:20] TheSheep: sorry to bother you with that. i'll try to figure out myself... [11:38] There is a folder in the trash that i cannot delete, can someone help me please? [11:40] LetsGo67: what is the problem? [11:41] There is a folder, 80211g, with an "X" on it, TheSheep, and I cannot delete it. [11:41] "Permission non accordée". [11:41] LetsGo67: who is the owner of that directory? [11:42] !ops > LetsGo67 [11:42] TheSheep, I am not sure. [11:42] LetsGo67: can you check it in its properites? [11:42] You are an op, TheSheep? [11:42] properties [11:42] LetsGo67: why? [11:43] I checked with !ops > letsgo67 [11:43] It doesn't even display the folder size. [11:43] It's probably owned by root. [11:43] LetsGo67: then you must remove it as root [11:44] But how? It is in my trash. [11:44] LetsGo67: the trash is kept in .local/share/Trash in your home directory [11:45] Thanks man. [11:49] My time is wrong, is says 12:49, can someone help me change it please? it constantly changes on its own [13:27] hi [13:28] I cannot open port with user, I do use sudo to use application which use some special port. how can I do to allow user to open ports please ?

[22:49] Ubuntu XFCE Edition! [22:49] ? [22:50] http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2008-01-27-003-26-OP-DB-SW&tbovrmode=1#talkback_area [22:51] Basically a bunch of newbs want Mark Shuttleworth to change the name of Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Edubuntu to Ubuntu KDE Edition, Ubuntu XFCE Edition, etc. [22:52] yeah, but does Shuttleworth even control the names really? [22:52] Thats a good question. [22:53] I thought Xubuntu was a community developed distro, as was Kubuntu. [22:53] I wasn't aware they were "owned" by Ubuntu. [22:55] ubuntu itself is mostly a community developed... [22:56] isn't like 90-95% of what was in the repository come directly from the debian testing/unstable? [22:56] So Ubuntu is really just another edition of Debian. [23:35] hello all [23:36] hello === Dev1 is now known as dev1 [23:36] i'm getting an i/o error when installing xubuntu from cd [23:37] the disk verified, and the hd does not show any bad blocks or filesystem problems [23:39] gui install or text based [23:39] unfortunatly it erased my system before i discovered this, i'm in the livecd now [23:39] 64bit ir 686 [23:39] gui [23:39] 686 [23:40] id suggest trying the text install because i believe the gui installer might still be buggy [23:40] how do i enter that? [23:40] from the livecd [23:40] theres an icon on the livecd desktop [23:41] that's for the text install? [23:41] theres a gui icon and a text install the text one looks like the icon for the terminal [23:41] nothing like that [23:42] just the gui installer [23:42] can i run it from the terminal? [23:42] yea i cant remember the command [23:42] try typing install from a terminal [23:43] it needs a source and destination [23:43] are you sure there isnt an icon underneath the gui install icon [23:44] yes [23:44] strange sorry i had to make sure [23:44] i downloaded the cd yesterday [23:44] ill try the bot real quick [23:44] !install [23:44] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [23:45] is it possible you can read some of these links real quick [23:45] ok [23:45] how far did the install get before not working [23:49] copying files [23:50] is that after the partitioning [23:50] if i install ubuntu-server and then install xubuntu-desktop, will i miss out on any customizations or features? [23:50] after partitioning [23:50] iff the ubuntu-server installs fine you shouldnt miss out on anything when installing the xubuntu desktop [23:51] i'll give that a shot [23:51] have you run ubuntu before [23:51] bbl [23:51] yeah, for quite a while [23:51] year or two [23:51] ok well let me know how it turns out
