| silverblade | possibly a newbie question, what window manager does Xubuntu use | 07:29 |
| silverblade | ah... Xfce4 | 07:29 |
| * silverblade shouldve started out by reading the wiki | 07:30 | |
| soldats | lol | 07:32 |
| silverblade | yes, you may shout "noob lol" now | 07:34 |
| soldats | i wont ever | 07:40 |
| silverblade | im quite impressed with Xubuntu. its running on a p2 with 64 mb ram | 07:42 |
| silverblade | with gui | 07:42 |
| ere4si | alternate cd for the install silverblade ? | 07:43 |
| silverblade | of course ;) | 07:43 |
| ere4si | :) | 07:43 |
| silverblade | as you might expect, its pig slow, but it's semi-usable | 07:45 |
| ere4si | you can try fluxbox as a window manager - it is even lighter than xfce but takes a little learning | 07:47 |
| ere4si | and it is in synaptic | 07:48 |
| silverblade | heh im trialling this to carry out a "convert your family to Linux" ;) | 07:49 |
| silverblade | so i was after something straightforward. this seems to do the job | 07:49 |
| ere4si | k | 07:49 |
| silverblade | thanks anyway | 07:50 |
| soldats | lol i was gonna say use DWM but family friendly is deffinitely XFCE IMO. as much as i love it i use both | 07:59 |
| martin_zgr | hello, i having some troubles with starting up nicotine - i click on the icon and a window shows up - but it is empty | 08:55 |
| martin_zgr | any idea what is wrong? | 08:55 |
| martin_zgr | hello, i having some troubles with starting up nicotine - i click on the icon and a window shows up - but it is empty | 09:05 |
| martin_zgr | any idea what is wrong? | 09:06 |
| TheSheep | !repeat | martin_zgr | 09:06 |
| ubotu | martin_zgr: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 09:06 |
| qsrv | I'm having trouble with XFCE and a custom .Xmodmap file | 09:12 |
| qsrv | xfce seems to ignore it | 09:12 |
| qsrv | I tried adding a script to autostart that would load the .Xmodmap file, but this didn't solve the problem either | 09:12 |
| qsrv | am I missing something? | 09:12 |
| TheSheep | qsrv: what do you use xmodmap for? | 09:15 |
| qsrv | I have a thinkpad, so I use Xmodmap to enable thinkpad's keys | 09:30 |
| qsrv | the thing is that if I run "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" manually, it works | 09:31 |
| TheSheep | qsrv: setting the keyboard layout in your xorg.conf to the thinkpad's shoul be a better solution | 09:35 |
| qsrv | There is no specific keyboard layout for thinkpads | 09:35 |
| TheSheep | qsrv: you can do it with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' | 09:35 |
| TheSheep | qsrv: are you sure? | 09:35 |
| qsrv | all I need is to enable a few extra keys | 09:35 |
| qsrv | yes | 09:35 |
| TheSheep | qsrv: because I have a pretty normal keyboard with just a few extrac keys, and it has a separate layout | 09:36 |
| qsrv | the problem is that for some reason xfce messes up the loading of the .Xmodmap file | 09:36 |
| TheSheep | qsrv: and I can see several thinkpad keyboard layouts on the list | 09:37 |
| TheSheep | qsrv: so, why don't you use a ready made one instead of modifying it with xmodmap? | 09:37 |
| qsrv | it's not what I want | 09:38 |
| qsrv | e.g. thinkpads have two keys called "forward" and "backward" | 09:38 |
| qsrv | I want to use them to cycle through desktops | 09:38 |
| qsrv | for that I use xmodmap to assign symbols to these keys | 09:39 |
| qsrv | and then configure the window manager's keyboard shortcuts | 09:39 |
| jinzo | hello, I'm interested if I can access the text mode installer in xubuntu 7.10 ? | 12:06 |
| TheSheep | jinzo: yes, just download the alternate install cd | 12:07 |
| jinzo | I feared of that yes :/ | 12:07 |
| jinzo | or I find another ram stick :P | 12:08 |

| BillyJoe | Hello, I am using xubuntu on my weaker laptop, but I also use ubuntu on my other, with ubuntu you can save the password for the keyring, so you do not have to put it in every time it boots, but with my xubuntu I can not, is there some way to add this option? | 13:14 |
| BillyJoe | Short, How do I get the keyring to auto login when I login to my desktop, so that the wireless works with out myself or more so my kids doing any thing? | 13:14 |
| ArmyMan007 | hello | 14:10 |
| ArmyMan007 | I wanted to know something regarding Xubuntu | 14:11 |
| totemwormage | go ahead and ask :] | 14:11 |
| ArmyMan007 | I'm installing it on a Windows 98 SE, and it seems to meet all of the requirements | 14:11 |
| ArmyMan007 | now the thing is that I want to install it along with the windwos (just in case it dosn't work) | 14:11 |
| ArmyMan007 | and it's a VERY OLD computer | 14:11 |
| ArmyMan007 | I have a drive with 4 GB or so | 14:12 |
| ArmyMan007 | and I have another drive with 4 GB or so | 14:12 |
| ArmyMan007 | what should I do? | 14:12 |
| ArmyMan007 | 4.51 and 4.13 GB to be exact (they contain some files) | 14:13 |
| ArmyMan007 | please help me... :-( | 14:14 |
| totemwormage | installing xubuntu is fairly easy, i don't know exactly how much disk space you'll need so i won't know if you can install it alongside windows on the same disk | 14:18 |
| LeAstrale | i think Xubuntu is about 1½ GB installed | 14:18 |
| ArmyMan007 | is it easy to configure? | 14:19 |
| totemwormage | yes :] | 14:19 |
| ArmyMan007 | easier then the "normal" ubuntu? | 14:19 |
| LeAstrale | the easiest way would be to wipe one of the two drives and then install it on that one | 14:19 |
| LeAstrale | ArmyMan007: probarly the same as "normal" Ubuntu | 14:19 |
| LeAstrale | i would recommend the alternate installer disc however | 14:20 |
| ArmyMan007 | LeAstrale: but the Windows 98 SE is a part of a very old computer | 14:20 |
| ArmyMan007 | installing xubuntu would be easier for the computer... | 14:20 |
| LeAstrale | yes... windows doesn't have system files on both discs.. the one disc that isn't system files i suggest you let gparted format during the alternate install | 14:21 |
| LeAstrale | ArmyMan007: easier for the computer? :S | 14:21 |
| ArmyMan001 | sorry | 14:22 |
| ArmyMan001 | i got DS | 14:22 |
| ArmyMan001 | could you please repet that? | 14:22 |
| ArmyMan001 | could you please repeat yourself? i got disconnected... | 14:24 |
| LeAstrale | [15:21] <LeAstrale> yes... windows doesn't have system files on both discs.. the one disc that isn't system files i suggest you let gparted format during the alternate install | 14:24 |
| * ArmyMan001 slaps ArmyMan007 around a bit with a large trout | 14:24 | |
| LeAstrale | LOL at all the armymen | 14:24 |
| ArmyMan001 | sorry | 14:25 |
| LeAstrale | heh | 14:25 |
| ArmyMan001 | it didn't connect me to my user name... LO | 14:25 |
| ArmyMan001 | :P | 14:25 |
| ArmyMan001 | what is gparted format? | 14:25 |
| LeAstrale | no need to excuse | 14:25 |
| LeAstrale | gparted format into the format you set it too | 14:25 |
| LeAstrale | for Xubuntu EXT3 is preferred | 14:25 |
| ArmyMan001 | and what is the diffrence between the alternate install of ubuntu and xubuntu? | 14:25 |
| ArmyMan001 | how do I know which EXT i need? | 14:26 |
| LeAstrale | ArmyMan001: the alternate is a text installer which doesn't require very much from you're computer... the normal is booting into Xubuntu directly from the CD which requires 256mb ram at least | 14:26 |
| LeAstrale | !gparted | 14:27 |
| ubotu | GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ | 14:27 |

| LeAstrale | !ext3 | 14:27 |
| ubotu | ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 14:27 |
| LeAstrale | did that answer some questions ? | 14:27 |

| LeAstrale | ArmyMan001: im gonna have to leave you now, i have one hell of a headache | 14:28 |
| LeAstrale | i hope you figure it all out.. | 14:28 |
| LeAstrale | most of your questions is deffinately answered in the Ubuntu wiki | 14:29 |

| vrkhans | hey canany one help me how to configure mutt, procmail, fetchmail, and postfix :-) I just install them but i dont know what i should do next. | 17:20 |
| vrkhans | any one here | 17:20 |
| vrkhans | plz help me. or tell me where I should go | 17:21 |
| ron_o | go to the internet. :) | 17:23 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: the documentation is in /usr/share/docs | 17:23 |
| TheSheep | also try the command 'man programname' | 17:24 |
| ron_o | no one is going to hand hold you through the process. | 17:24 |
| vrkhans | TheSheep, is that easy to configure mutt procmail, fetchmai, and postfix, are you using them | 17:29 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: I'm using them, they are not easy to configure, but it's not extremely difficult either if you have basic unix knowledge and know how the e-mail system works | 17:31 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: if you are new to it, though, better give yourself a couple of days | 17:31 |
| TheSheep | to read the documentation | 17:31 |
| ron_o | a little off topic, but what linksys modem wired/wireless would you recommend? | 17:32 |
| vrkhans | TheSheep, where should i start | 17:32 |
| vrkhans | i mean reading...:-) | 17:32 |
| vrkhans | you think it worth it. | 17:33 |
| TheSheep | ron_o: you might want to look at the ubuntu hardware compatibility list at the ubuntu wiki | 17:33 |
| ron_o | TheSheep, duh, of course <knocking myself on the head> | 17:33 |
| ron_o | :) | 17:33 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: depends how deep you want to go. I think fetchmail is the easiest to understand and configure, mutt is not hard either, but I would just download some example configuration for it and tweak that. procmail is the hardest of them. | 17:34 |
| ron_o | TheSheep, one question. Is there any security issue with using a wireless modem that is wired (some are both)? | 17:34 |
| TheSheep | ron_o: its far from complete, unfortunately :( | 17:34 |
| ron_o | I won't use wireless because they are too insecure. | 17:34 |
| TheSheep | ron_o: I have no idea, really, I never used one | 17:34 |
| vrkhans | TheSheep, what do you mean by examples | 17:36 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: http://www.spinnaker.de/mutt/ | 17:36 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-3.html | 17:37 |
| vrkhans | TheSheep, so mutt is just a mail reader kind of thing | 17:38 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: google and wikipedia are your friends | 17:38 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: yes | 17:38 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: and fetchmail is a script for downloading your mail to local mail box | 17:39 |
| vrkhans | oh ok, | 17:40 |
| vrkhans | what is postfix and procmail for | 17:40 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: procmail, on the other hand, is a system for processing and disributing the mail among mailboxes | 17:40 |
| vrkhans | so i need it, | 17:40 |
| vrkhans | as i am just using it alone. | 17:40 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: postfix is the actual mail server | 17:40 |
| vrkhans | for my self | 17:41 |
| TheSheep | for just reading mail you only need mutt | 17:41 |
| TheSheep | or thunderbird, or evolution, or claws mail, whatever you like | 17:41 |
| vrkhans | give me the big picture, what is the need for all these parts togather, and how i can benifet with them . | 17:42 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: in practive you only need them if you want to run your own mail server | 17:42 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: for example, you want the mails to be sent to something@your-computer | 17:43 |
| vrkhans | so how does it differ from hotmail, or thanderbird | 17:43 |
| vrkhans | sorry i am asking too many question, but you are explaining it really good | 17:44 |
| TheSheep | its basically as if you had your own hotmail | 17:44 |
| TheSheep | just without the web interface | 17:44 |
| vrkhans | hmm, what do you mean by that. like your own domain | 17:45 |
| TheSheep | something like that, although a domain is a seprate thing, you would probably want yours if you were running your own mail server | 17:46 |
| TheSheep | domain is just a name for your computer | 17:46 |
| TheSheep | (or cimputers) | 17:46 |
| TheSheep | computers | 17:46 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: try reading a wikipedia article on e-mail | 17:47 |
| vrkhans | so i need to start what is mail server | 17:48 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: I'm not sure you really need it | 17:48 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: wat do you want to do? | 17:48 |
| vrkhans | is it like webserver | 17:48 |
| vrkhans | kindof | 17:48 |
| TheSheep | actually, the thought that you would run a mail server without actually knowing what it even is gives me shivers :) | 17:49 |
| vrkhans | :-) | 17:49 |
| TheSheep | start with wikipedia, read about e-mail and snmp | 17:49 |
| TheSheep | there should be some helpful linsk in there | 17:50 |
| TheSheep | links | 17:50 |
| vrkhans | you know you hear these buzz words | 17:50 |
| TheSheep | there are surely also articles for procmail and postfix | 17:50 |
| vrkhans | and you try them | 17:50 |
| TheSheep | sure, that's how you learn | 17:50 |
| vrkhans | without knowing what they are | 17:50 |
| vrkhans | as i just install them , is there any problem | 17:50 |
| vrkhans | i havent configure them | 17:51 |
| TheSheep | I'm not sure if they are started by default | 17:51 |
| TheSheep | probably not | 17:51 |
| vrkhans | maybe | 17:51 |
| vrkhans | i dont know | 17:51 |
| TheSheep | you can always stop them in sstem->services | 17:51 |
| TheSheep | system | 17:52 |
| vrkhans | how i can see what is currently running | 17:52 |
| vrkhans | and what i need to do to not start automatically | 17:52 |
| TheSheep | same, in system->services | 17:52 |
| vrkhans | you mean ps -x | 17:53 |
| vrkhans | and then kill them | 17:53 |
| TheSheep | no, I mean the 'services' program in 'system' submenu in your applications menu | 17:53 |
| vrkhans | ok | 17:53 |
| vrkhans | TheSheep :-) ya they are running | 17:56 |
| vrkhans | i didnt know that | 17:56 |
| vrkhans | :-) | 17:56 |
| vrkhans | is that bad | 17:56 |
| TheSheep | depends, if you are behind a firewall or in a private network, it's probably pretty safe | 17:57 |
| TheSheep | the default configuration is probably also pretty secure | 17:58 |
| TheSheep | but you might start getting some random spam mail if your host name or ip is published anywhere | 17:58 |
| vrkhans | i dont have a static ip, so i think that does cause any problem | 18:02 |
| vrkhans | behind a firewall, i dont know i just install xubuntu, | 18:03 |
| vrkhans | are there any firewall for linux | 18:03 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: if you have a dynamic ip, I'm sure your provider has a firewall and uses private ips | 18:03 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: linux has firewall build in in the kernel | 18:04 |
| TheSheep | !firewall | 18:04 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 18:04 |
| vrkhans | Firestarter | 18:05 |
| vrkhans | what is that | 18:05 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: a graphical program for configuring your firewall | 18:05 |
| vrkhans | ok | 18:05 |
| vrkhans | but its already there | 18:05 |
| vrkhans | i mean the firewall, | 18:05 |
| vrkhans | i dont have to install it right | 18:05 |
| TheSheep | the firewall itself, no, firestarter -- you need to install if you want to use it | 18:06 |
| vrkhans | so there is no firewall in linux | 18:06 |
| TheSheep | well, read that link ubotu just mentioned, maybe this will clarify it | 18:07 |
| vrkhans | ok | 18:09 |
| vrkhans | TheSheep. thanks a lot. is there any way i can contact you, | 18:09 |
| vrkhans | if i need some suggestion | 18:09 |
| TheSheep | Im usually here | 18:09 |
| vrkhans | ok | 18:09 |
| TheSheep | tehre are also many other people who can help you | 18:09 |
| vrkhans | again thanks | 18:10 |
| TheSheep | you're welcome | 18:10 |

| praphul | can anyone help me with the ntfts mount problem? | 21:16 |
| praphul | ntfs mount problem | 21:16 |
| zoredache | !ntfs | 21:16 |
| zoredache | !ntfs3g | 21:16 |
| 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 | 21:16 |
| ubotu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 21:16 |
| zoredache | you seem a bit laggy today ubotu | 21:17 |
| praphul | I have that ntfs-3g installed on my machine; and it is recognizing the windows partitions | 21:19 |
| zoredache | and? | 21:19 |
| praphul | My external harddrive has two partitions - one is FAT and another is NTFS | 21:19 |
| praphul | so it is even recognizging the FAT in external drive but not the NTFS | 21:20 |
| zoredache | how are you trying to mount the one that isn't working? | 21:20 |
| praphul | When I connect the external drive, it is mounting the FAT and showing an error of cannot mount NTFS | 21:21 |
| praphul | then I use the command mount -t | 21:22 |
| zoredache | if you are mounting ntfs I believe you must use the ntfs-3g command to mount | 21:23 |
| zoredache | also, what is the error | 21:23 |
| zoredache | have you tried running a checkdisk on the partition while in windows? | 21:23 |
| praphul | the drive is working very fine in windows | 21:24 |
| praphul | and it worked well in linux yesterday, when i used the rsync command | 21:24 |
| praphul | whats the exact command to mount a ntfs partition? | 21:25 |
| praphul | mount: can't find /media/sdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 21:26 |
| praphul | this is the error message | 21:26 |
| zoredache | do a ntfs-3g --help to see an example | 21:27 |
| praphul | $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0) | 21:32 |
| praphul | Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Operation not supported | 21:32 |
| praphul | Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use | 21:32 |
| praphul | this is the new error message; after I have tried the ntfs command | 21:32 |
| zoredache | as I said... do a check disk on the drive in windows | 21:33 |
| zoredache | the that is what the $LogFile message is telling your. The volume has an error and only windows can fix it | 21:33 |
| praphul | it might have been that I didnot shutdown properly | 21:35 |
| PsynoKhi0 | !wireless | 21:36 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 21:36 |
| praphul | so I should now log into windows and do that checkdesk | 21:36 |
| praphul | ? | 21:36 |
| zoredache | yes | 21:38 |
| praphul | okay, thank you very much | 21:38 |
| praphul | what is the best method for mounting drives? | 21:38 |
| praphul | and then unmounting | 21:38 |
| praphul | them so that I need not have this problem again | 21:38 |
| zoredache | in windows? open the hot-swap icon, and unmount it | 21:39 |
| zoredache | it will show up in your tray when the drive is in | 21:39 |
| praphul | but should not the windows automatically unmount it when I hit the shutdown or restart button | 21:40 |
| zoredache | it sounds like something windows should do... but really it is a bug1 problem | 21:41 |
| praphul | oh, what is this bug1 problem? | 21:42 |
| zoredache | !bug 1 | 21:42 |
