[01:02] <bad_cables> is there a known issue with the wireless in 7.10?
[01:02] <bad_cables> i was in the middle of a package update and the connection went down
[01:03] <bad_cables> i know that it is good because everyother computer in thehouse is on it...
[01:03] <bad_cables> whats the deal here?
[01:03] <bad_cables> it said "waiting for *MYSSID* key:
[01:04] <bad_cables> waiting for the network key for wireless network MYCRAP...
[01:04] <bad_cables> what is that?
[01:06] <bad_cables> the network settings panel has nothing in it...
[01:06] <bad_cables> no text no nothing
[01:06] <bad_cables> what the heck is this
[01:06] <bad_cables> ?
[01:10] <bad_cables> ok, i restarted and now it is on...
[01:10] <bad_cables> why did it go out? its only 7.5 feet away from the router!
[01:10] <bad_cables> that really sucks
[01:11] <bad_cables> does the APM cut the wireless?
[01:11] <bad_cables> is there a forum for Xubuntu?
[06:07] <neur1> ever heard of shift linux?
[06:08] <Breakage> nope, just googled it website looks nice though.
[06:11] <neur1> it's xubuntu with different apps
[06:11] <maxamillion> it is _not_ xubuntu with different apps
[06:12] <maxamillion> shift linux is a debian based distro offering many different desktop environments
[06:12] <Breakage> nope its not xubuntu with diff apps
[06:12] <neur1> boot splash screen says xubuntu
[06:12] <maxamillion> shift doesn't even use the same init process as xubuntu
[06:13] <neur1> i used the xfce version
[06:13] <maxamillion> meh
[06:15] <neur1> xfce/fluxbox version actually
[06:15] <neur1> wierd huh
[06:17] <neur1> installed conky and it lists the ubuntu 2.6.22.14-generic
[06:17] <maxamillion> neur1: then you are running gutsy i presume?
[06:18] <neur1> i guess
[06:18] <neur1> but it's a shift linux
[06:18] <neur1> iso
[06:18] <maxamillion> oh
[06:18] <maxamillion> uhmmm... i guess they transitioned from debian to ubuntu
[06:18] <neur1> i'm live now
[06:19] <maxamillion> neur1: do '/exec -o uname -a' in your irc client
[06:19] <maxamillion> without the quotes
[06:19] <neur1> what do you mean?
[06:20] <maxamillion> nothing ... nevermind
[06:44] <Himmelsmeister> 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] <Breakage> Anyway to change gtk2 sudo font size in Fluxbox?
[07:48] <decaelo> anyone here awake?
[07:48] <Breakage> yeah kinda

[08:15] <freddo_frog> !seen vidd
[08:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about seen vidd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:16] <freddo_frog> =[
[08:16] <freddo_frog> !gentoo
[08:16] <ubotu> Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems)
[08:16] <freddo_frog> hmmmm
[09:04] <don_andrez> does alpha 3 support ext4?
[09:08] <TheSheep> !hardy
[09:08] <ubotu> 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] <ochosi> does anyone now whether it makes a big difference if i chgrp the files in my home folder from $user to root?
[09:09] <TheSheep> ochosi: why would you do that?
[09:09] <TheSheep> ochosi: it can break some applications, notably ssh and friends
[09:09] <ochosi> 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] <ochosi> TheSheep: so you think it could really break ssh? i mean: in what way?
[09:13] <TheSheep> ochosi: ssh will refuse to use a configration directory that has improper user and group
[09:14] <TheSheep> ochosi: I'm sure there are some options for rsync to fix your problem
[09:14] <ochosi> 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] <ochosi> TheSheep: yeah, i'll have a look at the man
[09:18] <ochosi> 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] <ochosi> TheSheep: and using the -g (group preservation) option doesn't stop it from doing that
[09:20] <ochosi> TheSheep: sorry to bother you with that. i'll try to figure out myself...
[11:38] <LetsGo67> There is a folder in the trash that i cannot delete, can someone help me please?
[11:40] <TheSheep> LetsGo67: what is the problem?
[11:41] <LetsGo67> There is a folder, 80211g, with an "X" on it, TheSheep, and I cannot delete it.
[11:41] <LetsGo67> "Permission non accordée".
[11:41] <TheSheep> LetsGo67: who is the owner of that directory?
[11:42] <LetsGo67> !ops > LetsGo67
[11:42] <LetsGo67> TheSheep, I am not sure.
[11:42] <TheSheep> LetsGo67: can you check it in its properites?
[11:42] <LetsGo67> You are an op, TheSheep?
[11:42] <TheSheep> properties
[11:42] <TheSheep> LetsGo67: why?
[11:43] <LetsGo67> I checked with !ops > letsgo67
[11:43] <LetsGo67> It doesn't even display the folder size.
[11:43] <LetsGo67> It's probably owned by root.
[11:43] <TheSheep> LetsGo67: then you must remove it as root
[11:44] <LetsGo67> But how?  It is in my trash.
[11:44] <TheSheep> LetsGo67: the trash is kept in .local/share/Trash in your home directory
[11:45] <LetsGo67> Thanks man.
[11:49] <LetsGo67> My time is wrong, is says 12:49, can someone help me change it please?  it constantly changes on its own

[18:46] <scro1> in mixer
[18:47] <scro1> but it doesnt work
[22:49] <bytor4232> man, people won't let it go.
[22:49] <bytor4232> Ubuntu XFCE Edition!
[22:49] <zoredache> ?
[22:50] <bytor4232> http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2008-01-27-003-26-OP-DB-SW&tbovrmode=1#talkback_area
[22:51] <bytor4232> 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] <zoredache> yeah, but does Shuttleworth even control the names really?
[22:52] <bytor4232> Thats a good question.
[22:53] <bytor4232> I thought Xubuntu was a community developed distro, as was Kubuntu.
[22:53] <bytor4232> I wasn't aware they were "owned" by Ubuntu.
[22:55] <zoredache> ubuntu itself is mostly a community developed...
[22:56] <zoredache> isn't like 90-95% of what was in the repository come directly from the debian testing/unstable?
[22:56] <bytor4232> So Ubuntu is really just another edition of Debian.
[23:35] <Dev1> hello all
[23:36] <soldats> hello
[23:36] <dev1> i'm getting an i/o error when installing xubuntu from cd
[23:37] <dev1> the disk verified, and the hd does not show any bad blocks or filesystem problems
[23:39] <soldats> gui install or text based
[23:39] <dev1> unfortunatly it erased my system before i discovered this, i'm in the livecd now
[23:39] <soldats> 64bit ir 686
[23:39] <dev1> gui
[23:39] <dev1> 686
[23:40] <soldats> id suggest trying the text install because i believe the gui installer might still be buggy
[23:40] <dev1> how do i enter that?
[23:40] <soldats> from the livecd
[23:40] <soldats> theres an icon on the livecd desktop
[23:41] <dev1> that's for the text install?
[23:41] <soldats> theres a gui icon and a text install the text one looks like the icon for the terminal
[23:41] <dev1> nothing like that
[23:42] <dev1> just the gui installer
[23:42] <dev1> can i run it from the terminal?
[23:42] <soldats> yea i cant remember the command
[23:42] <soldats> try typing install from a terminal
[23:43] <dev1> it needs a source and destination
[23:43] <soldats> are you sure there isnt an icon underneath the gui install icon
[23:44] <dev1> yes
[23:44] <soldats> strange sorry i had to make sure
[23:44] <dev1> i downloaded the cd yesterday
[23:44] <soldats> ill try the bot real quick
[23:44] <soldats> !install
[23:44] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[23:45] <soldats> is it possible you can read some of these links real quick
[23:45] <dev1> ok
[23:45] <soldats> how far did the install get before not working
[23:49] <dev1> copying files
[23:50] <soldats> is that after the partitioning
[23:50] <dev1> if i install ubuntu-server and then install xubuntu-desktop, will i miss out on any customizations or features?
[23:50] <dev1> after partitioning
[23:50] <soldats> iff the ubuntu-server installs fine you shouldnt miss out on anything when installing the xubuntu desktop
[23:51] <dev1> i'll give that a shot
[23:51] <soldats> have you run ubuntu before
[23:51] <dev1> bbl
[23:51] <dev1> yeah, for quite a while
[23:51] <dev1> year or two
[23:51] <soldats> ok well let me know how it turns out
