[00:17] im having inconsistancies with auto mounting of usb flash drives [00:17] any program suggestions [00:18] im getting "invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume" [00:18] ok no one here [02:07] resuming hibernate in the same way as resuming suspend? [02:07] 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. [02:17] hmm, just hibernated.. [02:17] it sux compared to suspend. [02:17] took much longer and the restart was hard. [03:14] Quick question, where do I go to access the settings for compiz? [03:23] how do i rememdy overscan? [03:23] remedy* [03:23] i looked in nvidia-settings but found nothing [03:26] nevermind, I found the answer === non-anon_ is now known as non-anon [04:40] hey guys, for some reasonw hen i boot into xubuntu it wont go into startx anymore, even after i manually enter "startx" [04:42] is it startxfce4? [04:43] try that or similar.. [04:43] type 'start' then tab [04:43] I don't know much about the gnome display manager and such. [05:04] i improperly shut my pc down and now when i boot up it wont go into xwindows. im stuck in command mode. do you think if i boot up from the cd i can fix it? [05:06] you can fix it in command line.. [05:06] don't know why it won't start. [05:07] did you try $startxfce4 ? [05:08] yeah [05:08] didnt work [05:09] i got a bunch of stuff outputed [05:09] and then a few erros on the bottom [05:09] (EE) Failed to load module "pcidata" (module does not exist), 0) [05:09] Fatal server error: [05:09] Unable to load required base modules, Exiting.... [05:11] don't know. [06:45] does anyone know how to fix overscanning? [06:45] with nvidia drivers? [08:00] Evening all [08:00] Just a quick question about WPA enterise settings, is there a file i can download that has all the CA certificates? [08:13] ollie, apt-get install ca-certificates [08:14] or what do you mean? [08:16] 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). [08:18] well i need the CA Thawte CA cert for my univesity's wireless connection [08:20] 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 [08:24] how are you connecting to wireless? via nm-applet or via wpa_supplicant? [08:24] nm-applet and manually configuring it [08:25] it lets me select the settings i need, i just needed the cert [08:25] or is the Supplicant better? [08:26] can u select other settings then WPA(2) Personal / WEP from nm-applet with manual setting? [08:26] at the office i can't connect to the WPA2 Enterprice network with manual configuration, there is no WPA2 Enterprice in the dropdown menu. [08:27] 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] but anyhow, what tells -> locate *.crt|grep thawte <- you? [08:28] Otherwise you can download the CA files from the thawte site i guess. [08:29] Or need you a client cert for your university's wireless network, instead of a CA? [08:30] yeah i need the client part [08:30] In that case, get them from your network operator at school ;) [08:30] hahah they looked at my EEE and went "What the hell is that!" [08:31] and didnt know what to do [08:32] let him give you a documentation of what you need to do [08:33] at the office i need PEAP with MSCHAPv2, in combination with a username and a password. [08:33] and give them a USB stick where they can put the client cert on. [08:34] then you can try to connect your self [08:38] oh thats what i need, those exact settings [08:38] ill get back to you tomorrow if itt worked, cheers thanks [08:38] back to c++ :S [15:23] anyone nkow how to fix overscan? [15:24] cnStarz: fix what? [15:24] overscan [15:25] on my hdtv [15:25] the screen is running off the page [15:25] i've looked in nvidia-settings but there's nothign in there that fixes overscanning [15:26] did you set your dpi correct? [15:26] dpi? [15:26] how do i set that? [15:26] dots per inch [15:27] right [15:27] without setting it, x has no idea how big your screen is [15:27] how do i set that? [15:27] :O [15:27] i wouldn't know what setting's correct for your tv, i use this line for my crt monitor: [15:28] under the monitor section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf i added: Option "DPI" "96 x 96" [15:28] hmmmm [15:29] can you paste the monitor portion of your xorg.conf into pastebin so i can see exactly how it fits in there? [15:29] it doesn't matter where it is [15:29] cnStarz just under everything else [15:29] alrighty i'll take a lookey [15:29] as long as it's somewhere between [monitor] and the next [endsection] [15:29] gotcha [15:30] thanks, i'll give it a try [15:30] it could also be that i'm not right about this, that it won't fix your problem at all :P [15:30] but i had some issues with X not knowing how to fit things on the screen until i set that :P [15:31] i always like to add that :P [16:14] Where can i put a home-made script if i wanted it to run on login? [16:45] does xubuntu come with freebsd partitioning/fs support once installed? [16:46] or would i have to roll my own kernel to add it? [16:54] pixelated: the stock kernel configuration seems to have the bsd partitions [16:55] pixelated: look at the file /boot/config-`uname -r` to see the current kernel config [16:56] yes it seems to see the partitions it shows the partitons on the desktop when botted from cd [16:56] but cant seem to mount the fs's [16:57] i am waiting for term window to open [16:58] 2.6.22 generic (booted from 7.10 cd) [16:58] 2.6.22-14 [17:05] yeah B44 (bsd 4.4) is conf as module but i dont see UFS (unix fs v2) listed at all [17:06] hrm... [17:07] well B44 is unix fs v1 specifically [17:35] hi [17:35] hello [17:36] i installed xubuntu on my laptop. [17:36] hi [17:36] i ve a weird problem, since 2 days, the date icon disapeared [17:36] the same for wifi icon state [17:36] and the same for battery icon state [17:36] i don t know how to rescue them [17:40] oh it s good now [17:40] sorrry [17:42] thoht: no worries :) [17:44] the tool bar was too long for my low resolution [17:44] :p [17:47] ok install is done... time to stop playing kolf and see what this machine has to say [19:30] anyone help with a xubuntu 6.06.1 scsi boot issue? [19:39] TheDoctor: might be a hardware support issue, the newer versions quite possibly would work [19:39] problem is it's a ye olde machine. [19:40] ubuntu 7.10 won't even boot on it [19:40] xubuntu 6.06.1 boots from live cd, finds the disks and installs ok, just won't boot for some reason [19:41] scsi bios can see the mbr but that's as far as it goes [19:42] TheDoctor: you get any errors? [19:42] TheDoctor: you might need to put the boot partition at the beginning of the disk for some bioses [19:43] no, no errors, just "searching for boot record... ok" [19:44] 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 [19:45] assumed it would sort out /boot by itself [19:47] TheDoctor: normally it doesn't matter [19:47] TheDoctor: but that error would display 'grub error 6' afair [19:48] TheDoctor: so it's rather not it [19:51] i'm at a loss then, frankly. [19:55] i've reformatted and reinstalled three times with the same result. [19:55] might try again and specify a small /boot partition at the beginning === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo === nalioth_ is now known as nalioth [21:10] 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 [21:11] it means you didn't tell it where it should donwload the mail from [21:12] hi TheSheep in the .fetchmailrc file i did mention that [21:13] are you sure it is reading your config? [21:13] poll pop.gmail.com with proto POP3 and options no dns [21:13] looks good [21:13] that what i add in my .fetchmailrc [21:14] so wht i should change [21:14] vrkhans: check in 'man fetchmail' to see if there is some option to tell it what config file to read [21:15] vrkhans: I'm sorry, I can't help you at the moment, maybe someone else [21:15] The Sheep the doc i am reading it says create .fetchmailrc file in your home dir [21:16] that means hk@hk-desktop:/home$ [21:16] this dir or somewhere else [21:16] it means /home/yourusername [21:16] ok [21:17] i created the file in /home [21:17] or whatever 'echo $HOME' says [21:17] ok [21:18] how i can move that file form /home to /home/username [21:18] mv [21:18] mv /home/.fetchmailrc /home/username/ [21:18] ok [21:19] let me try [21:21] TheSheep, now got this error File /home/hk/.fetchmailrc must have no more than -rwx--x--- (0710) permissions. [21:22] vrkhans: change the permissions to tha tfile [21:23] vrkhans: 'man chmod' [21:24] chmod 0710 .fetchmailrc [21:24] or something else [21:25] vrkhans: I'd rather not guess now, I'm a little drunk... [21:25] :-) [21:25] vrkhans: I'm sorry [21:25] no problem , any one else know about that [21:26] vrkhans: I think it's explained in the desktopguide [21:26] you mean man chmod [21:30] !desktopguide [21:31] 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 [21:37] 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] so how i can change the owership [21:38] chown usernid filname [21:38] vrkhans: sudo chown user:user file [21:47] TheSheep it works :-) [21:48] got my first msg using mutt === uninvite1 is now known as uninvited === jms1989_ is now known as jms1989
