[02:07] <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.
[02:17] <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.
[03:14] <mvoltz> Quick question, where do I go to access the settings for compiz?
[03:23] <cnStarz> how do i rememdy overscan?
[03:23] <cnStarz> remedy*
[03:23] <cnStarz> i looked in nvidia-settings but found nothing
[03:26] <mvoltz> nevermind, I found the answer
[04:40] <luckyshot> hey guys, for some reasonw hen i boot into xubuntu it wont go into startx anymore, even after i manually enter "startx"
[04:42] <ron_o> is it startxfce4?
[04:43] <ron_o> try that or similar..
[04:43] <ron_o> type 'start' then tab
[04:43] <ron_o> I don't know much about the gnome display manager and such.
[05:04] <luckyshot> 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] <ron_o> you can fix it in command line..
[05:06] <ron_o> don't know why it won't start.
[05:07] <ron_o> did you try $startxfce4 ?
[05:08] <luckyshot> yeah
[05:08] <luckyshot> didnt work
[05:09] <luckyshot> i got a bunch of stuff outputed
[05:09] <luckyshot> and then a few erros on the bottom
[05:09] <luckyshot> (EE) Failed to load module "pcidata" (module does not exist), 0)
[05:09] <luckyshot> Fatal server error:
[05:09] <luckyshot> Unable to load required base modules, Exiting....
[05:11] <ron_o> don't know.
[06:45] <cnStarz> does anyone know how to fix overscanning?
[06:45] <cnStarz> with nvidia drivers?
[08:00] <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?
[08:13] <KingOfDos> ollie, apt-get install ca-certificates
[08:14] <KingOfDos> or what do you mean?
[08:16] <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).
[08:18] <ollie> well i need the CA Thawte CA cert for my univesity's wireless connection
[08:20] <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
[08:24] <KingOfDos> how are you connecting to wireless? via nm-applet or via wpa_supplicant?
[08:24] <ollie> nm-applet and manually configuring it
[08:25] <ollie> it lets me select the settings i need, i just needed the cert
[08:25] <ollie> or is the Supplicant better?
[08:26] <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.
[08:27] <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?
[08:28] <KingOfDos> Otherwise you can download the CA files from the thawte site i guess.
[08:29] <KingOfDos> Or need you a client cert for your university's wireless network, instead of a CA?
[08:30] <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!"
[08:31] <ollie> and didnt know what to do
[08:32] <KingOfDos> let him give you a documentation of what you need to do
[08:33] <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.
[08:34] <KingOfDos> then you can try to connect your self
[08:38] <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
[15:23] <cnStarz> anyone nkow how to fix overscan?
[15:24] <TheSheep> cnStarz: fix what?
[15:24] <cnStarz> overscan
[15:25] <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
[15:26] <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
[15:27] <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:
[15:28] <totalwormage> under the monitor section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf i added: Option   "DPI"   "96 x 96"
[15:28] <cnStarz> hmmmm
[15:29] <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
[15:30] <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
[15:31] <totalwormage> i always like to add that :P
[16:14] <graelb> Where can i put a home-made script if i wanted it to run on login?
[16:45] <pixelated> does xubuntu come with freebsd partitioning/fs support once installed?
[16:46] <pixelated> or would i have to roll my own kernel to add it?
[16:54] <zoredache> pixelated: the stock kernel configuration seems to have the bsd partitions
[16:55] <zoredache> pixelated: look at the file /boot/config-`uname -r` to see the current kernel config
[16:56] <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
[16:57] <pixelated> i am waiting for term window to open
[16:58] <pixelated> 2.6.22 generic (booted from 7.10 cd)
[16:58] <pixelated> 2.6.22-14
[17:05] <pixelated> yeah B44 (bsd 4.4) is conf as module but i dont see UFS (unix fs v2) listed at all
[17:06] <zoredache> hrm...
[17:07] <pixelated> well B44 is unix fs v1 specifically
[17:35] <thoht> hi
[17:35] <zoredache> hello
[17:36] <thoht> i installed xubuntu on my laptop.
[17:36] <pixelated> hi
[17:36] <thoht> i ve a weird problem, since 2 days, the date icon disapeared
[17:36] <thoht> the same for wifi icon state
[17:36] <thoht> and the same for battery icon state
[17:36] <thoht> i don t know how to rescue them
[17:40] <thoht> oh it s good now
[17:40] <thoht> sorrry
[17:42] <zoredache> thoht: no worries :)
[17:44] <thoht> the tool bar was too long for my low resolution
[17:44] <thoht> :p
[17:47] <pixelated> ok install is done... time to stop playing kolf and see what this machine has to say
[19:30] <TheDoctor> anyone help with a xubuntu 6.06.1 scsi boot issue?
[19:39] <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.
[19:40] <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
[19:41] <TheDoctor> scsi bios can see the mbr but that's as far as it goes
[19:42] <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
[19:43] <TheDoctor> no, no errors, just "searching for boot record... ok"
[19:44] <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
[19:45] <TheDoctor> assumed it would sort out /boot by itself
[19:47] <TheSheep> TheDoctor: normally it doesn't matter
[19:47] <TheSheep> TheDoctor: but that error would display 'grub error 6' afair
[19:48] <TheSheep> TheDoctor: so it's rather not it
[19:51] <TheDoctor> i'm at a loss then, frankly.
[19:55] <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
[21:10] <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
[21:11] <TheSheep> it means you didn't tell it where it should donwload the mail from
[21:12] <vrkhans> hi TheSheep in the .fetchmailrc file i did mention that
[21:13] <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
[21:14] <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
[21:15] <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
[21:16] <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
[21:17] <vrkhans> i created the file in /home
[21:17] <TheSheep> or whatever 'echo $HOME' says
[21:17] <vrkhans> ok
[21:18] <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
[21:19] <vrkhans> let me try
[21:21] <vrkhans> TheSheep, now got this error File /home/hk/.fetchmailrc must have no more than -rwx--x--- (0710) permissions.
[21:22] <TheSheep> vrkhans: change the permissions to tha tfile
[21:23] <TheSheep> vrkhans: 'man chmod'
[21:24] <vrkhans> chmod 0710 .fetchmailrc
[21:24] <vrkhans> or something else
[21:25] <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
[21:26] <TheSheep> vrkhans: I think it's explained in the desktopguide
[21:26] <vrkhans> you mean man chmod
[21:30] <TheSheep> !desktopguide
[21:31] <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
[21:37] <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
[21:38] <zoredache> chown usernid filname
[21:38] <ArthurArchnix> vrkhans: sudo chown user:user file
[21:47] <vrkhans> TheSheep it works :-)
[21:48] <vrkhans> got my first msg using mutt
