ron_oresuming hibernate in the same way as resuming suspend?02:07
ron_othe reason why I'd like to try to hibernate is because for some reason when I suspend it doesn't lock my screen no matter what.02:07
ron_ohmm, just hibernated..02:17
ron_oit sux compared to suspend.02:17
ron_otook much longer and the restart was hard.02:17

ollieEvening all08:00
ollieJust a quick question about WPA enterise settings, is there a file i can download that has all the CA certificates?08:00
KingOfDosollie, apt-get install ca-certificates08:13
KingOfDosor what do you mean?08:14
KingOfDosand "evening all", i guess your on the other side of the world. it's 09:14 AM here. Over a few minutes i'm going to my work (first drink my coffee).08:16
olliewell i need the CA Thawte CA cert for my univesity's wireless connection08:18
ollieSo does that go into a directory somewhere? because the last time i tried to connect, i click CA cert and it tried to make me locate it or something08:20
KingOfDoshow are you connecting to wireless? via nm-applet or via wpa_supplicant?08:24
ollienm-applet and manually configuring it08:24
ollieit lets me select the settings i need, i just needed the cert08:25
ollieor is the Supplicant better?08:25
KingOfDoscan u select other settings then WPA(2) Personal / WEP from nm-applet with manual setting?08:26
KingOfDosat the office i can't connect to the WPA2 Enterprice network with manual configuration, there is no WPA2 Enterprice in the dropdown menu.08:26
KingOfDoswhen i use roaming mode, then i can click the network, and get a nice menu with WPA2 Enterprice configuration. so that's strange.08:27
KingOfDosbut anyhow, what tells -> locate *.crt|grep thawte <- you?08:27
KingOfDosOtherwise you can download the CA files from the thawte site i guess.08:28
KingOfDosOr need you a client cert for your university's wireless network, instead of a CA?08:29
ollieyeah i need the client part08:30
KingOfDosIn that case, get them from your network operator at school ;)08:30
olliehahah they looked at my EEE and went "What the hell is that!"08:30
ollieand didnt know what to do08:31
KingOfDoslet him give you a documentation of what you need to do08:32
KingOfDosat the office i need PEAP with MSCHAPv2, in combination with a username and a password.08:33
KingOfDosand give them a USB stick where they can put the client cert on.08:33
KingOfDosthen you can try to connect your self08:34
ollieoh thats what i need, those exact settings08:38
ollieill get back to you tomorrow if itt worked, cheers thanks08:38
ollieback to c++ :S08:38

cnStarzhow do i set that?15:27
cnStarz:O15:27
totalwormagei wouldn't know what setting's correct for your tv, i use this line for my crt monitor:15:27
totalwormageunder the monitor section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf i added: Option   "DPI"   "96 x 96"15:28
cnStarzhmmmm15:28
cnStarzcan you paste the monitor portion of your xorg.conf into pastebin so i can see exactly how it fits in there?15:29
totalwormageit doesn't matter where it is15:29
The_KernelcnStarz just under everything else15:29
cnStarzalrighty i'll take a lookey15:29
totalwormageas long as it's somewhere between [monitor] and the next [endsection]15:29
cnStarzgotcha15:29
cnStarzthanks, i'll give it a try15:30
totalwormageit could also be that i'm not right about this, that it won't fix your problem at all :P15:30
totalwormagebut i had some issues with X not knowing how to fit things on the screen until i set that :P15:30
totalwormagei always like to add that :P15:31

TheDoctoranyone help with a xubuntu 6.06.1 scsi boot issue?19:30
maxamillionTheDoctor: might be a hardware support issue, the newer versions quite possibly would work19:39
TheDoctorproblem is it's a ye olde machine.19:39
TheDoctorubuntu 7.10 won't even boot on it19:40
TheDoctorxubuntu 6.06.1 boots from live cd, finds the disks and installs ok, just won't boot for some reason19:40
TheDoctorscsi bios can see the mbr but that's as far as it goes19:41
TheSheepTheDoctor: you get any errors?19:42
TheSheepTheDoctor: you might need to put the boot partition at the beginning of the disk for some bioses19:42
TheDoctorno, no errors, just "searching for boot record... ok"19:43
TheDoctordidn't explicitly set a boot partition. might that be it? just put one partition for / on the first drive and a separate swap partition on another drive19:44
TheDoctorassumed it would sort out /boot by itself19:45
TheSheepTheDoctor: normally it doesn't matter19:47
TheSheepTheDoctor: but that error would display 'grub error 6' afair19:47
TheSheepTheDoctor: so it's rather not it19:48
TheDoctori'm at a loss then, frankly.19:51
TheDoctori've reformatted and reinstalled three times with the same result.19:55
TheDoctormight try again and specify a small /boot partition at the beginning19:55
