| vidd | yes...on about 8 computers | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| fs87 | nice :) | 00:00 |
| vidd | various hardware configurations | 00:00 |
| fs87 | which do you think is the best WM? | 00:00 |
| vidd | im not a good person to ask....i have only used gnome, KDE, and xfce | 00:01 |
| fs87 | i'm using ion3 right now | 00:01 |
| vidd | the only reason i use xfce and not gnome is because i like having the same wm on all my machines | 00:01 |
| vidd | and some cant handle gnome | 00:01 |
| fs87 | how long do you use linux? | 00:02 |
| vidd | about 3 years? maybe 4 | 00:02 |
| fs87 | tried other distro's? | 00:03 |
| vidd | yes | 00:03 |
| vidd | i dont like .rpm based distros | 00:03 |
| fs87 | same here | 00:03 |
| fs87 | my first was mandrake | 00:03 |
| fs87 | crashed it many times | 00:03 |
| fs87 | partly cause of the rmp's | 00:04 |
| vidd | we should move this to #xubuntu-offtopic b4 we get told to | 00:04 |

| Robert8915 | hello | 01:59 |
| zoredache | hi | 02:04 |
| Valternaz | ola | 02:08 |
| Jerimiah40 | I'm having trouble getting Xubuntu to install, can anyone help me out? | 02:49 |
| BunnyRevolution | what trouble are you having? | 02:52 |
| Jerimiah40 | Every time I try to install from a live CD (7.10), it gets to 15% complete, and then just locks up | 02:53 |
| BunnyRevolution | what does your memory look like? | 02:54 |
| BunnyRevolution | how much memory do you have? | 02:55 |
| Jerimiah40 | 192MB | 02:55 |
| BunnyRevolution | do you have a high speed connection? | 02:56 |
| Jerimiah40 | Internet? It's reasonably high speed, yeah | 02:56 |
| BunnyRevolution | try the alternate cd | 02:56 |
| Jerimiah40 | Alright, I'll try that | 02:58 |
| Jerimiah40 | Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between alternate and desktop? | 02:58 |
| BunnyRevolution | the alternate installer is more text based, but asks the same questions and uses less mem | 02:59 |
| Jerimiah40 | Alright | 03:00 |
| BunnyRevolution | so the installer is not as pretty, but works faster. in fact, i use the alternate install over the normal install because i don't have to point and click, but tab, enter, tab enter | 03:00 |
| BunnyRevolution | even when i have lots of mem. after downloading, test your cd, then install | 03:01 |
| Jerimiah40 | okay | 03:01 |
| Jerimiah40 | Does it install everything that the desktop installer does? | 03:01 |
| BunnyRevolution | yes | 03:01 |
| Jerimiah40 | alright | 03:01 |
| BunnyRevolution | the alternate allows for some other options, one of them bieng LVM | 03:02 |
| Jerimiah40 | Neat | 03:03 |

| Sl4y3r | anyone know why when i view flash videos in firefox even after deleteing the cache im not seeing the space re-freed | 03:45 |
| BunnyRevolution | flash videos are kept in /tmp sometimes | 03:45 |
| Sl4y3r | ah | 03:46 |
| Sl4y3r | nothing in there | 03:47 |
| Sl4y3r | ;x | 03:47 |
| BunnyRevolution | well, they don't end in *.s* | 03:48 |
| Sl4y3r | what would they end in? | 03:49 |
| BunnyRevolution | ~/.mozilla/firefox/somename.default/Cache , you need to look here as well | 03:49 |
| reindeer | I am looking for a way to bust open a .toast torrent file to extract the boot image for a complete, error-free bootable ISO. Any solutions? | 03:49 |
| BunnyRevolution | download the .torrent, and mount the iso and then extract the boot image | 03:50 |
| reindeer | The torrent is completely downed. Just need to find an app or utility which will extract the boot image from the file. | 03:52 |
| reindeer | From there, i hsould be able to mount it nicely. | 03:52 |
| reindeer | I should | 03:52 |
| reindeer | I'm just having trouble extracting the boot image. | 03:53 |
| reindeer | I'll see what 7zip will do. Gotta work the CLI from xterm. It may be the only option in which to extract the image from the toast torrent. Appreciate your help. | 03:56 |

| ere4si | I need to get gnome-vfs module running so I can use gdesklets - how to install and run it pls | 08:29 |
| Iskr | synaptic? | 08:31 |
| ere4si | not listed there Iskr | 08:31 |
| ere4si | someone with an idea? | 08:36 |
| Iskr | well if i look for gdesklets on synaptic i find it | 08:41 |
| Iskr | and i presume that if i install it, it would, as usual, install needed dependencies | 08:42 |
| julian | hi ive got a problem with the xubuntu livecd | 11:12 |
| julian | and dunno if its a bug a feature or if i miss something | 11:12 |
| totalwormage | do tell | 11:12 |
| julian | im not able to use gparted how it should work | 11:12 |
| julian | opening gparted leads mount to mount everything automatically | 11:13 |
| julian | and if i change a partition it gets started working on it and suddenly xubuntu decides to mount everything again | 11:13 |
| julian | and i need to umount it in the terminal | 11:13 |
| julian | and that needs to be done quickly otherwise gparted stops working on the partition | 11:14 |
| totalwormage | that doesn't sound good | 11:14 |
| totalwormage | i think you shouldn't tinker with mounts while gparted is working on them | 11:14 |
| julian | normally xubuntu shouldnt auto mount everything | 11:15 |
| totalwormage | hm | 11:16 |
| julian | i dont have that problem with ubuntu livecd | 11:16 |
| totalwormage | anyone else here who knows about this kind of thing? :P | 11:16 |
| julian | gparted is crashing on both when using swapoff but that isnt a big problem | 11:16 |

| xemonoth | Hi, my RoseGarden program is telling me that the timing in the kernel is too slow. How do I resolve this? | 16:44 |
| BunnyRevolution | stay in the channel so i can answer your question ... | 17:48 |
| BunnyRevolution | i need several world clocks on my desktop. which program is best to use. | 17:51 |
| Stroganoff | BunnyRevolution: gdesklets may be the right one | 17:58 |
| siggjen | or gworldclock | 17:59 |
| BunnyRevolution | u know, i am gravitating more and more to xubuntu because of the support that is available in this channel | 18:00 |

| Ultraputz | any idea how to get network manager to remember WEP passwords ? | 19:35 |
| maxamillion | Ultraputz: you need the gnome keyring manage | 19:37 |
| maxamillion | manager* | 19:37 |
| Ultraputz | does it add a lot of overhead? | 19:37 |
| maxamillion | uhmm... a bit, yes | 19:39 |
| maxamillion | but it depends on what you consider "a lot" | 19:39 |
| Ultraputz | 700mhz p3 | 19:39 |
| maxamillion | yeah, you should be fine ... there might be slight lag when it first negotiates the connection but after that you probably won't notice | 19:41 |
| maxamillion | Ultraputz: how much ram? | 19:41 |
| Ultraputz | .5g | 19:42 |
| Ultraputz | gnome keyring manager. gonna try that. machine is outside, bbiab | 19:42 |
| Ultraputz | thanks, btw | 19:43 |
| maxamillion | anytime :) | 19:43 |

| slow-motion | hi | 20:10 |
| BunnyRevolution | xubuntu hardy beta fails the install on virutal box vm | 20:49 |
| uninvited | Now that is what i call a problem description :) | 20:54 |
| zoredache | BunnyRevolution: how does it fail? | 21:04 |
| zoredache | I didn't have any problems when installing in vmware | 21:05 |
| slow-motion | n8 | 21:08 |
| fivehorizons | Can someone help me with a question about tunneling VNC through SSH? | 21:12 |
| charlie-tca | Depends on the question | 21:13 |
| charlie-tca | I've done it with vnc4server and xvnc4client | 21:14 |
| fivehorizons | I'm pretty much a linux newb but I followed the guide located here: http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/6 to set up a file server | 21:14 |
| zoredache | fivehorizons: and what are you having problems with? | 21:15 |
| fivehorizons | I was able to use VNC through SSH the first time I tried it, but after I rebooted the server I keep getting an "Connection Failed - Error reading Protocol Version" message | 21:15 |
| fivehorizons | However, if I connect serverip:0 it works, but I don't want to do that | 21:16 |
| zoredache | you restarted your ssh tunnel after the server rebooted right? | 21:17 |
| fivehorizons | I think so....does that just require making a new SSH connection with putty? | 21:18 |
| zoredache | fivehorizons: maybe, it depends on if you saved your settings on the session that you had the tunnel working before | 21:18 |
| fivehorizons | Yeah, I had saved the settings. I'm essentially doing everything the same way as when it first worked. The only difference is that the server was rebooted in between, so I don't know if this screwed something up | 21:19 |
| zoredache | are you connected to the server now through ssh? | 21:20 |
| fivehorizons | Not at this moment because I'm at work, but I am able to connect through ssh just fine. | 21:20 |
| zoredache | well, anyway, when you are connected to the server through ssh runn a command like this 'netstat -ntl | grep 5900' | 21:21 |
| fivehorizons | ok, what will that tell me? | 21:21 |
| zoredache | if dont' see anything then x11vnc didn't get started | 21:21 |
| zoredache | if *you* | 21:22 |
| zoredache | the sharex11vnc command doesn't seem to be automatically started on its own | 21:22 |
| zoredache | you probably need to run that each time you ssh in... Or add it to rc.local | 21:23 |
| fivehorizons | ahh, yeah I actually did do something like that. It didn't start on its own, so i ran sharex11vnc manually. | 21:23 |
| BunnyRevolution | zoredache: let me re-download it and try again | 21:24 |
| zoredache | on a related note I would add another option to the x11vnc command line the script uses | 21:24 |
| fivehorizons | And like I said, VNC works fine if connect directly to the server IP, but if I try to go through localhost:0 it doesn't work | 21:24 |
| zoredache | I think you add the '-localhost' option so that vnc cannot be accessed unless you have your ssh tunnel working | 21:25 |
| fivehorizons | ah ok | 21:25 |
| zoredache | also, if you do that you could add the '-nopw' option which will make it so that you don't have to give vnc a password... Since you can only connect through ssh, it seems like you don't need the extra password. | 21:26 |
| fivehorizons | yeah, but at this point I'd be happy to see the password dialog box going through ssh haha | 21:28 |
| fivehorizons | I can't get anything but that stupid protocol error | 21:28 |
| BillyJoe | when I plug in my usb drive, it dosn't auto make the /media/"name" folder so it can not mount it... How do I get my system to auto create this folder? | 21:29 |
| zoredache | fivehorizons: sorry, but what question are you getting the 'protcol error' message from? | 21:34 |
| zoredache | bleah... what program are you getting the protocol error from.. | 21:34 |
| fivehorizons | UltraVNC when I try to connect to localhost:0 | 21:34 |
| zoredache | do you have a vnc server running on your workstation? | 21:35 |
| fivehorizons | no, just on the fileserver | 21:35 |
| zoredache | and your workstation is winxp, vista, or? | 21:36 |
| fivehorizons | xp | 21:36 |
| zoredache | on your winxp computer do a command like 'netstat -nt | find "5900"' | 21:37 |
| zoredache | if you don't see anything in the list, then putting isn't setting things up correctly | 21:37 |
| zoredache | you also might want to try connecting to localhost::5900 in ultravnc | 21:38 |
| fivehorizons | Thanks zoredache. I'll try both of those things when I get home | 21:39 |
| zoredache | sorry? | 21:39 |
| zoredache | aren't you trying to set it up so that you can connect from outside of your home? | 21:40 |
| fivehorizons | I'm not at the xp workstation right now. I'm at my work computer | 21:40 |
| fivehorizons | well, yes | 21:40 |
| zoredache | ah | 21:40 |
| fivehorizons | but I don't have my public IP atm | 21:40 |
| zoredache | ah | 21:40 |
