| ron_o | resuming hibernate in the same way as resuming suspend? | 02:07 |
| ron_o | the 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_o | hmm, just hibernated.. | 02:17 |
| ron_o | it sux compared to suspend. | 02:17 |
| ron_o | took much longer and the restart was hard. | 02:17 |

| ollie | Evening all | 08:00 |
| ollie | Just a quick question about WPA enterise settings, is there a file i can download that has all the CA certificates? | 08:00 |
| KingOfDos | ollie, apt-get install ca-certificates | 08:13 |
| KingOfDos | or what do you mean? | 08:14 |
| KingOfDos | and "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 |
| ollie | well i need the CA Thawte CA cert for my univesity's wireless connection | 08:18 |
| ollie | So 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 something | 08:20 |
| KingOfDos | how are you connecting to wireless? via nm-applet or via wpa_supplicant? | 08:24 |
| ollie | nm-applet and manually configuring it | 08:24 |
| ollie | it lets me select the settings i need, i just needed the cert | 08:25 |
| ollie | or is the Supplicant better? | 08:25 |
| KingOfDos | can u select other settings then WPA(2) Personal / WEP from nm-applet with manual setting? | 08:26 |
| KingOfDos | at 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 |
| KingOfDos | when 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 |
| KingOfDos | but anyhow, what tells -> locate *.crt|grep thawte <- you? | 08:27 |
| KingOfDos | Otherwise you can download the CA files from the thawte site i guess. | 08:28 |
| KingOfDos | Or need you a client cert for your university's wireless network, instead of a CA? | 08:29 |
| ollie | yeah i need the client part | 08:30 |
| KingOfDos | In that case, get them from your network operator at school ;) | 08:30 |
| ollie | hahah they looked at my EEE and went "What the hell is that!" | 08:30 |
| ollie | and didnt know what to do | 08:31 |
| KingOfDos | let him give you a documentation of what you need to do | 08:32 |
| KingOfDos | at the office i need PEAP with MSCHAPv2, in combination with a username and a password. | 08:33 |
| KingOfDos | and give them a USB stick where they can put the client cert on. | 08:33 |
| KingOfDos | then you can try to connect your self | 08:34 |
| ollie | oh thats what i need, those exact settings | 08:38 |
| ollie | ill get back to you tomorrow if itt worked, cheers thanks | 08:38 |
| ollie | back to c++ :S | 08:38 |
| cnStarz | anyone nkow how to fix overscan? | 15:23 |
| TheSheep | cnStarz: fix what? | 15:24 |
| cnStarz | overscan | 15:24 |
| cnStarz | on my hdtv | 15:25 |
| cnStarz | the screen is running off the page | 15:25 |
| cnStarz | i've looked in nvidia-settings but there's nothign in there that fixes overscanning | 15:25 |
| totalwormage | did you set your dpi correct? | 15:26 |
| cnStarz | dpi? | 15:26 |
| cnStarz | how do i set that? | 15:26 |
| totalwormage | dots per inch | 15:26 |
| cnStarz | right | 15:27 |
| totalwormage | without setting it, x has no idea how big your screen is | 15:27 |
| cnStarz | how do i set that? | 15:27 |
| cnStarz | :O | 15:27 |
| totalwormage | i wouldn't know what setting's correct for your tv, i use this line for my crt monitor: | 15:27 |
| totalwormage | under the monitor section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf i added: Option "DPI" "96 x 96" | 15:28 |
| cnStarz | hmmmm | 15:28 |
| cnStarz | can you paste the monitor portion of your xorg.conf into pastebin so i can see exactly how it fits in there? | 15:29 |
| totalwormage | it doesn't matter where it is | 15:29 |
| The_Kernel | cnStarz just under everything else | 15:29 |
| cnStarz | alrighty i'll take a lookey | 15:29 |
| totalwormage | as long as it's somewhere between [monitor] and the next [endsection] | 15:29 |
| cnStarz | gotcha | 15:29 |
| cnStarz | thanks, i'll give it a try | 15:30 |
| totalwormage | it could also be that i'm not right about this, that it won't fix your problem at all :P | 15:30 |
| totalwormage | but i had some issues with X not knowing how to fit things on the screen until i set that :P | 15:30 |
| totalwormage | i always like to add that :P | 15:31 |
| graelb | Where can i put a home-made script if i wanted it to run on login? | 16:14 |
| pixelated | does xubuntu come with freebsd partitioning/fs support once installed? | 16:45 |
| pixelated | or would i have to roll my own kernel to add it? | 16:46 |
| zoredache | pixelated: the stock kernel configuration seems to have the bsd partitions | 16:54 |
| zoredache | pixelated: look at the file /boot/config-`uname -r` to see the current kernel config | 16:55 |
| pixelated | yes it seems to see the partitions it shows the partitons on the desktop when botted from cd | 16:56 |
| pixelated | but cant seem to mount the fs's | 16:56 |
| pixelated | i am waiting for term window to open | 16:57 |
| pixelated | 2.6.22 generic (booted from 7.10 cd) | 16:58 |
| pixelated | 2.6.22-14 | 16:58 |
| pixelated | yeah B44 (bsd 4.4) is conf as module but i dont see UFS (unix fs v2) listed at all | 17:05 |
| zoredache | hrm... | 17:06 |
| pixelated | well B44 is unix fs v1 specifically | 17:07 |

| TheDoctor | anyone help with a xubuntu 6.06.1 scsi boot issue? | 19:30 |
| maxamillion | TheDoctor: might be a hardware support issue, the newer versions quite possibly would work | 19:39 |
| TheDoctor | problem is it's a ye olde machine. | 19:39 |
| TheDoctor | ubuntu 7.10 won't even boot on it | 19:40 |
| TheDoctor | xubuntu 6.06.1 boots from live cd, finds the disks and installs ok, just won't boot for some reason | 19:40 |
| TheDoctor | scsi bios can see the mbr but that's as far as it goes | 19:41 |
| TheSheep | TheDoctor: you get any errors? | 19:42 |
| TheSheep | TheDoctor: you might need to put the boot partition at the beginning of the disk for some bioses | 19:42 |
| TheDoctor | no, no errors, just "searching for boot record... ok" | 19:43 |
| TheDoctor | didn'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 drive | 19:44 |
| TheDoctor | assumed it would sort out /boot by itself | 19:45 |
| TheSheep | TheDoctor: normally it doesn't matter | 19:47 |
| TheSheep | TheDoctor: but that error would display 'grub error 6' afair | 19:47 |
| TheSheep | TheDoctor: so it's rather not it | 19:48 |
| TheDoctor | i'm at a loss then, frankly. | 19:51 |
| TheDoctor | i've reformatted and reinstalled three times with the same result. | 19:55 |
| TheDoctor | might try again and specify a small /boot partition at the beginning | 19:55 |

| vrkhans | hi i am trying to configure mutt+fetchmail+procmail but when after creating the .fetchmailrc file and trying this command fetchmai -vk command i got this msg no mailservers have been specified. wat does that mean | 21:10 |
| TheSheep | it means you didn't tell it where it should donwload the mail from | 21:11 |
| vrkhans | hi TheSheep in the .fetchmailrc file i did mention that | 21:12 |
| TheSheep | are you sure it is reading your config? | 21:13 |
| vrkhans | poll pop.gmail.com with proto POP3 and options no dns | 21:13 |
| TheSheep | looks good | 21:13 |
| vrkhans | that what i add in my .fetchmailrc | 21:13 |
| vrkhans | so wht i should change | 21:14 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: check in 'man fetchmail' to see if there is some option to tell it what config file to read | 21:14 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: I'm sorry, I can't help you at the moment, maybe someone else | 21:15 |
| vrkhans | The Sheep the doc i am reading it says create .fetchmailrc file in your home dir | 21:15 |
| vrkhans | that means hk@hk-desktop:/home$ | 21:16 |
| vrkhans | this dir or somewhere else | 21:16 |
| TheSheep | it means /home/yourusername | 21:16 |
| vrkhans | ok | 21:16 |
| vrkhans | i created the file in /home | 21:17 |
| TheSheep | or whatever 'echo $HOME' says | 21:17 |
| vrkhans | ok | 21:17 |
| vrkhans | how i can move that file form /home to /home/username | 21:18 |
| vrkhans | mv | 21:18 |
| TheSheep | mv /home/.fetchmailrc /home/username/ | 21:18 |
| vrkhans | ok | 21:18 |
| vrkhans | let me try | 21:19 |
| vrkhans | TheSheep, now got this error File /home/hk/.fetchmailrc must have no more than -rwx--x--- (0710) permissions. | 21:21 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: change the permissions to tha tfile | 21:22 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: 'man chmod' | 21:23 |
| vrkhans | chmod 0710 .fetchmailrc | 21:24 |
| vrkhans | or something else | 21:24 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: I'd rather not guess now, I'm a little drunk... | 21:25 |
| vrkhans | :-) | 21:25 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: I'm sorry | 21:25 |
| vrkhans | no problem , any one else know about that | 21:25 |
| TheSheep | vrkhans: I think it's explained in the desktopguide | 21:26 |
| vrkhans | you mean man chmod | 21:26 |
| TheSheep | !desktopguide | 21:30 |
| ubotu | documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com | 21:31 |
| vrkhans | TheSheep, i change the permission now i got the msg that that file should own by me, currently it is owned by root | 21:37 |
| vrkhans | so how i can change the owership | 21:37 |
| zoredache | chown usernid filname | 21:38 |
| ArthurArchnix | vrkhans: sudo chown user:user file | 21:38 |
| vrkhans | TheSheep it works :-) | 21:47 |
| vrkhans | got my first msg using mutt | 21:48 |
