[06:19] <The-Kernel> my phone bill is incredibly low this month
[06:19] <soldats> i haz no phone
[06:19] <The-Kernel> 1/4 of what it usually is
[06:19] <The-Kernel> it was only $88.57
[06:19] <The-Kernel> !!
[06:20] <soldats> wow thats expensive
[06:20] <The-Kernel> eh?!
[06:20] <The-Kernel> I usually pay around $320/month
[06:20] <soldats> holy cow
[06:20] <The-Kernel> they terminated some of my plans
[06:20] <soldats> get a new provider
[06:20] <dAveFirth> why would your plan cost so much
[06:20] <The-Kernel> my minutes went down to 900, my texting from unlimited to 5000
[06:21] <The-Kernel> I also didn't do the $150 GPS system thingy
[06:21] <The-Kernel> and it was over VoIP
[06:21] <soldats> youve been getting screwed from your service provider
[06:21] <The-Kernel> Um,
[06:21] <soldats> thats outrageous
[06:22] <The-Kernel> actually I only paid about $60 of it, I work for Verizon
[06:22] <The-Kernel> they covered the rest
[06:23] <soldats> ive never seen a bill that high since i went 1000 txt mssgs over my limit before i get unlimited. now i dont even use phones
[06:23] <The-Kernel> lol
[06:23] <The-Kernel> yeah
[06:23] <The-Kernel> I use around 7000 a month
[06:23] <The-Kernel> I live off of texting

[12:19] <xmpp> hi, my xubuntu doesn't power off completely, there is the shutdown logo and animation and then it hangs with a cursor on top left and nothing can be typed, what could be broken/corrupted ?
[12:25] <TheSheep> xmpp: is it an old computer?
[12:27] <xmpp> TheSheep: a recent computer,  and edgy
[12:27] <TheSheep> xmpp: check if you get any warnings at the beginning of dmesg
[12:32] <nanonyme> ACPI/APM stuff?
[12:37] <xmpp> it could be acpi, anyway i played too much with this system for almost 2 years so it's due for a reinstall
[12:38] <xmpp> i'll have to do with the power switch since then but i would have prefered to understand the problem anyway
[12:50] <don_andrez> is vmi enable in generic kernel? or in server kernel only?

[13:11]  * R[a]ndom points at the IRSeekBot

[13:55] <doktoreas> hello everybody
[13:55] <doktoreas> is there a LAtex editor for xfce4?
[14:02] <maxamillion> doktoreas: not necessarily "for xfce4" but i think Lyx is pretty light wieght and rather standard for latex users .... http://www.lyx.org/ (its also in the repositories)
[14:10] <doktoreas> maxamillion, the matter is that it install all evolution package
[14:12] <maxamillion> ah, that i wasn't aware of
[14:55] <zOOd> hello tous.
[14:56] <zOOd> deux questions sur les images:
[14:56] <zOOd> 1- c'est gimp qui s'ouvre a chaque fois que je clique sur une image.
[14:57] <zOOd> comment faire en sorte que ce soit gqview plutot.
[14:57] <zOOd> 2- comment facilement redimensionner des images sans lancer le gimp (un peu lourd pour ma petite config) ?
[15:16] <TheSheep> zOOd: you can change the default application when you right-click a file and select 'preferences'
[15:17] <TheSheep> zOOd: you can resize images using ImageMagick
[15:17] <TheSheep> !fr | zOOd
[15:17] <ubotu> zOOd: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[15:28] <zOOd> TheSheep: thanks for your answer, and sorry for the language: I missed the chan.
[15:28] <TheSheep> zOOd: no problem, I just thought you might have trouble understanding English
[15:30] <zOOd> Its ok :-) I know imagemagic, but would there be a light graphical app that would allow me to do that. The best would be an option in thunar ;-)
[15:46] <kiosk> \leave
[15:46] <kiosk> sorry
[15:47] <TheSheep> zOOd: you can add such an option to thunar
[15:47] <TheSheep> zOOd: see the custom actions in the thunar help
[15:47] <TheSheep> zOOd: just put the imagemagick command in there
[15:49] <zOOd> thx for your help TheSheep, I'll look for that.
[18:35] <kurugah> hi
[18:35] <kurugah> i have my /home on an sdhc at the moment an need 2 move onto the / partition could anyone please help me on how to do that?
[18:40] <kurugah> anyone?
[19:02] <zoredache> kurugah: what are you trying to do?
[19:02] <kurugah> i wanted 2 cp my /home/user dir to /
[19:03] <kurugah> it is currently mounted on an sd card
[19:03] <leche> is it possible to write and include a panel applet to xfce without compiling the whole desktop? i mean, is it that modular?
[19:03] <zoredache> It is off topic, but is there some reason you can't manage to type the wrod to?
[19:04] <zoredache> kurugah: anyway where is it mounted at currently?
[19:05] <kurugah> it is mounted 2 /home/"username"
[19:05] <kurugah> sorry to
[19:06] <zoredache> so the SD card is mounted at /home/username... not /home?
[19:06] <kurugah> no /home
[19:06] <kurugah> i did this during install
[19:08] <kurugah> to move it i booted with a live usbstick and cp -a it over to the root partition
[19:08] <zoredache> ok... well if it was me I would do this... 1) reboot into rescue mode, 2) make a new folder /new_home 3) cd into current home 'cd /home' 4) copy files 'tar -c . | tar -C /new_home -x' 5) unmount /home and remove from /etc/fstab 6) rename new_home to home
[19:10] <kurugah> ok ill try now
[19:15] <kurugah> zoredache u may not speciky more than one option
[19:15] <kurugah> when i do the tar
[19:24] <kurugah> forgive my noobness
[20:13] <zoredache> kurugah: did you type the tar command exactly the way I wrote it?  Including the case?
[20:14] <kurugah> yes including the upper case C
[20:14] <kurugah> is the | meant 2 be a new command?
[20:14] <zoredache> no
[20:14] <zoredache> the | is the pipe character
[20:15] <zoredache> the point is to use tar to build and archive from one folder, pipe that into tar which will uncompress the archive in a seperate folder
[20:15] <kurugah> hmm then i dont know what i could have done wrong
[20:16] <zoredache> the command should be exactly    tar -c . | tar -C /new_home -x
[20:18] <Powenr> Hello, I was trying to install Xubuntu , dual boot.  I made free space of around 20 GBs or so , with ext3 / , so then I had ext3, NTFS (for windows) , and then "unusable space" , so I could not figure out a way to make the swap
[20:19] <kurugah> zoredache i screwed up i think now its working
[20:20] <kurugah> how do i rename ?
[20:20] <kurugah> with mv?
[20:20] <zoredache> yes mv oldname newname
[20:21] <zoredache> so after unmounting /home the directory will still be there.  you would want to rmdir home
[20:21] <zoredache> then mv new_home home
[20:21] <kurugah> ok
[20:21] <kurugah> ty
[20:24] <kurugah> zoredache rmdir wont delete because dir not empty
[20:24] <TheSheep> it should be empty
[20:24] <zoredache> did you get the SD card unmounted?
[20:24] <kurugah> umount /home
[20:25] <kurugah> i did
[20:26] <kurugah> it semes to be unmounted
[20:26] <kurugah> mount -l does not show it anymore
[20:26] <zoredache> well do an ls in /home and see if there is anything in there you care about
[20:26] <kurugah> no only lost and found is there
[20:27] <Powenr> !forums
[20:27] <ubotu> The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums.
[20:27] <zoredache> well, the safe thing to do might be to do an  -       mv home old_home
[20:27] <zoredache> that will get it out of the way without possibly loosing stuff
[20:28] <kurugah> good idea
[20:29] <kurugah> after mv new_home home i can reboot?
[20:30] <kurugah> do i have to chown or something?
[20:30] <zoredache> yes, that should be true.
[20:30] <zoredache> no, the tar command should have copyied the permissions/ownership
[20:32] <kurugah> wow it worked
[20:32] <kurugah> thank you
[20:32] <zoredache> np
[20:59] <kurugah> hmm things are a bit scewed now
[21:00] <kurugah> skewed
[21:01] <kurugah> my powerbutton does not ask what to do anymore but just shuts down
[21:27] <SGL> Hello
[21:27] <LetsGo67> How do I set the UTC in Xubuntu?
[21:27] <SGL> Does anyone know the command to mount a USB HD?
[21:28] <zoredache> SGL: it would depend on what type of filesystem was on the usb hd
[21:28] <SGL> ntfs
[21:28] <zoredache> and also how many other drives you have in your system
[21:28] <SGL> 1 hd
[21:28] <LetsGo67> How do I set the UTC in Xubuntu?
[21:28] <SGL> (also 1 floppy and 1 CD-rom btw)
[21:28] <zoredache> I would start by doing an 'sudo sfdisk -l' to see partition name is
[21:29] <zoredache> then it might be as easy as 'sudo mount /dev/sdnn /mnt'
[21:29] <zoredache> if you want read-write access you would need to install and use ntfs-3g though probably
[21:29] <zoredache> !ntfs
[21:29] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE
[21:30] <SGL> zoredache, I only see sda and sdb
[21:30] <zoredache> LetsGo67: look at /etc/defaults/rcS
[21:30] <SGL> I only did a command-line installation, does that make a difference?
[21:31] <LetsGo67> Thanks man, I am getting help in ##linux.
[21:31] <zoredache> you only see sda, and sdb where in sfdisk?
[21:31] <zoredache> which one has the ntfs partition?
[21:31] <SGL> I don't know exactly what I am looking at
[21:31] <zoredache> when I gave you the command mount /dev/sdnn... the nn was to be replaced with the the real drive/partition number
[21:32] <SGL> aaaah
[21:32] <SGL> sorry, I didn't get that :)
[21:32] <LetsGo67> zoredache: after I open this file, what do I do?
[21:32] <zoredache> LetsGo67: look for the like that says UTC.  change it to yes
[21:33] <LetsGo67> zoredache: after?
[21:33] <zoredache> sorry?
[21:33] <zoredache> after changing the file save it and reboot
[21:33] <SGL> zoredache, it worked! I now also found in sfdisk where it says that it is the ntfs drive
[21:34] <SGL> thank you
[21:34] <zoredache> your welcome
[23:32] <nonlocal> how do I set a password shorter than 6 characters?
[23:32] <nonlocal> I know it is poor practice, bad security etc.
[23:33] <nonlocal> nevermind
[23:33] <nonlocal>  :/
