| Odd-rationale | CITguy08: ouch, that doesn't sound good... xfce doesn't start even after a hard reboot | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Odd-rationale | ? | 00:00 |
| suRs | These settings cannot work with your current window manager (unknown) | 00:00 |
| CITguy08 | I know it has something to do with the desktop manager. That's all I know. | 00:00 |
| suRs | i found it | 00:00 |
| suRs | the theme is changed | 00:00 |
| suRs | omg it looks awsome O_o | 00:01 |
| Odd-rationale | suRs: wasnt that hard, was it | 00:01 |
| suRs | no really easy | 00:01 |
| suRs | now i know how its done! | 00:01 |
| Odd-rationale | CITguy08: any error messages? | 00:02 |
| CITguy08 | It gets to the point where it says it's Loading the Desktop Manager, then segfaults and dumps me back at the login. | 00:02 |
| CITguy08 | there seems to be an error with "restricted-manager" not being able to load as well | 00:03 |
| Odd-rationale | CITguy08: hmm. idk, but i i were you, i would go to ctrl+alt+f2, login there, and delete any session looking file in ~/.config... | 00:03 |
| suRs | how do i fix my text so its a bit bigger? | 00:05 |
| suRs | on the xchatt | 00:05 |
| Odd-rationale | suRs: never used xchat... so dunno... | 00:06 |
| CITguy08 | I've also noticed that in ~/.config/autostart/ there is a file named Restricted Drivers Manager that doesn't seem to work. I moved that file to ~/ and tried again, but now there's a bunch of "No Name" files in the ~/.config/autostart | 00:07 |
| Odd-rationale | CITguy08: try moving the whole .config directory... | 00:08 |
| CITguy08 | ok, I'll be back. | 00:08 |
| duncawc | hello all | 00:13 |
| CITguy08 | success!! So something in the ~/.config was messing it up | 00:15 |
| CITguy08 | thank you for your help | 00:19 |
| cody-somerville | :) | 00:19 |
| suRs | well | 00:20 |
| suRs | i have to sleep now so | 00:20 |
| suRs | i see you tomorrow odd | 00:20 |
| suRs | thanks for all help i got today :D | 00:20 |
| Odd-rationale | suRs: bye! | 00:21 |
| stequbu | Hi guys. I want to keep some of my data (music) somewhere else than my home directory. Where would you put it? And I mean keeping it on the system partition not on some other. | 00:36 |
| Odd-rationale | stequbu: any specific reasons to do so | 00:37 |
| Odd-rationale | share files? | 00:37 |
| stequbu | yup | 00:37 |
| stequbu | share | 00:37 |
| Odd-rationale | I would create a new folder caller /home/share | 00:37 |
| Odd-rationale | or maybe /home/Share | 00:37 |
| stequbu | right but this would mean creating a new user | 00:37 |
| stequbu | ? | 00:37 |
| Odd-rationale | then put the music in /home/Share/Music | 00:37 |
| Odd-rationale | no, you don't need a new user | 00:38 |
| Odd-rationale | but you do need to be root (sudo) to create the /home/Share/ directory | 00:38 |
| stequbu | when I operate in nautilus I dont have the ability to create in home folder | 00:38 |
| Odd-rationale | so something like "sudo mkdir /home/Share" | 00:39 |
| stequbu | this means id have to do it via command line, ok | 00:39 |
| cody-somerville | stequbu, you will need to create a new group (if you want to restrict it to certain users) and/or set the permissions. | 00:39 |
| Odd-rationale | then i would "sudo chmod -R 777 /home/Share" so all could read and write to it... | 00:39 |
| Odd-rationale | actually, to be honest, i really would create a new "share" group"... | 00:40 |
| Odd-rationale | but 777 is the easiest way... | 00:40 |
| stequbu | thx odd-r. just one more thing. you propose creating the share group... | 00:41 |
| stequbu | i presume it would involve all users having access to it? | 00:41 |
| Odd-rationale | stequbu: it is more difficult that way. do you want to limit who can have access to the /home/Share folder? | 00:41 |
| stequbu | yes but only by means of Samba | 00:41 |
| Odd-rationale | so would 777 permission do for you? | 00:42 |
| stequbu | At first it sounded great though my knowledge is too poor to make good assesments :) | 00:42 |
| Odd-rationale | stequbu: well it is really up to you... | 00:45 |
| stequbu | Odd-r, does it make sense to you such a plan: 1) Keeping some data/ folders in /home/share and the managing the access to files by means of /etc/samba/smb.conf | 00:45 |
| Odd-rationale | stequbu: so you only need to limit remote access to these files? | 00:46 |
| Odd-rationale | stequbu: btw, if you do odd-r<tab> it will auto-comlete my nick fo you... | 00:47 |
| stequbu | yes remotely. though locally would be also important just for security | 00:48 |
| Odd-rationale | ok. well we can add a new group called "share" like this: sudo groupadd share | 00:49 |
| Odd-rationale | then you can add yourself to that group: sudo gpasswd -a <yourusername> share | 00:49 |
| Odd-rationale | then we will have to give /home/share to the group share: sudo chown -R <yourusername>:share /home/share | 00:50 |
| Odd-rationale | then set the permissions: sudo chmod -R 775 /home/share | 00:51 |
| Odd-rationale | you can change 775 to fit your need. | 00:51 |
| Odd-rationale | you might want 770 or something else... | 00:52 |
| Odd-rationale | you can then add other users to the group share... | 00:52 |
| Odd-rationale | etc... | 00:52 |
| stequbu | this is perfect. thx so much | 00:52 |
| stequbu | one question though as to this line: "sudo chown -R <yourusername>:share /home/share" | 00:53 |
| Odd-rationale | yes? | 00:54 |
| stequbu | why do we need <yourusername>? wouldn't it be sufficient to assign the share folder just to group name? | 00:54 |
| stequbu | of which we are members? | 00:55 |
| Odd-rationale | stequbu: i think everything needs a member and a group... | 00:55 |
| Odd-rationale | you could have it owned my root:share | 00:55 |
| Odd-rationale | if you have root in the share group as well... | 00:55 |
| stequbu | i see, thank you | 00:56 |
| stequbu | Odd-rationale : what is your favourite way of managing the smb.conf file | 00:57 |
| stequbu | I was maybe thinking of some GUI but I didn't find anything like this. | 00:58 |
| Odd-rationale | stequbu: samba isn't exactly my territory... | 00:58 |
| stequbu | I see. | 00:59 |
| Odd-rationale | although, i would probably just edit the text file... | 00:59 |
| Odd-rationale | i'm not a fan of too much gui... | 00:59 |
| Odd-rationale | (which is why i use arch) | 01:00 |
| stequbu | yeah me too but I wanted to set it up for someone else | 01:00 |
| stequbu | though a conf fileeven in gedit will do. | 01:00 |
| stequbu | The last thing I was thinking about was setting up VNC so that it would be accessible also on login screen. Do you have any experiences with that? | 01:00 |
| Odd-rationale | no, sorry... | 01:00 |
| stequbu | Ok, thx. Just to make sure - I presume our configuration will not conflict with any shares/permissions I might do in Samba ? | 01:03 |
| Odd-rationale | stequbu: i presume not. if smabe is running as root, you might want to be sure that root has access to the share folder as well. | 01:04 |
| stequbu | I thought root has access to all folders by default? | 01:04 |
| Odd-rationale | yes it does... | 01:05 |
| cody-somerville | so much to do, so little time :) | 01:06 |
| stequbu | Odd-rationale : does 770 mean that only people with an account on the local machine will be able to Read the folder? | 01:10 |
| stequbu | or that only the owner, root and group Share would be able to rwx and the rest nothing | 01:11 |
| Odd-rationale | the first 7 is for the user, the second 7 is for the group (share) and the third digit 0 is for others. | 01:11 |
| Odd-rationale | so if someone else in in the share group, s/he will have rwx permissions | 01:12 |
| Odd-rationale | but if s/he is not, then 0 | 01:12 |
| Odd-rationale | or you can make it 5 for others if you want to be able to readl | 01:13 |
| stequbu | Thx I'm ready to go :) I'm setting up my first server and some people should be able to use it after your help :) | 01:14 |
| Odd-rationale | stequbu: doing sysadmin stuff? fun! | 01:14 |
| stequbu | yeah but I had some weird stuff occuring - the windows disk would screw with the booting sequence | 01:16 |
| Odd-rationale | stequbu: my motto as a Linux system admin is: "Never use your freedom to suppress the freedom of others." | 01:16 |
| stequbu | sure that's my motto in life :) | 01:17 |
| Odd-rationale | it is easy, once you have the knowledge and power, to try to hide the that knowledge from others, so that they are in a way handicapped becuase they don't know certain things... | 01:17 |
| Odd-rationale | some sysadmin are afraid of letting people know "how things works" | 01:17 |
| Odd-rationale | "just use it a be happy..." | 01:17 |
| stequbu | OT: have you ever had weird stuff happening with Routine check of drives at startup? | 01:18 |
| Odd-rationale | nope... like what? | 01:18 |
| stequbu | my updated fresh install of Hardy Heron started screwing with me | 01:18 |
| stequbu | At boot it fails to do the Routine drive check at 4% | 01:19 |
| stequbu | and unless i hit ESC before it gets there it halts and then it needs a reboot | 01:19 |
| stequbu | If I hit ESC the system boots noramlly | 01:20 |
| Odd-rationale | stequbu: maybe something wrong with your /etc/fstab ? | 01:20 |
| Odd-rationale | idk | 01:20 |
| stequbu | maybe I should run a chckdsk or sth? | 01:20 |
| Odd-rationale | you could try... | 01:20 |
| stequbu | what is /etc/fstab | 01:20 |
| Odd-rationale | man fstab | 01:21 |
| stequbu | but chckdsk wont work with Ext2 wil it? | 01:21 |
| stequbu | but how come can sth be wrong with fstab if the system launches normally afterwards? | 01:22 |
| Odd-rationale | well, i got to go eat dinner... | 01:23 |
| Odd-rationale | ttyl! | 01:23 |
| stequbu | ttyl :) | 01:24 |
| stequbu | I was thinking about was setting up VNC so that it would be accessible also on login screen. Do you have any experiences with that? | 02:14 |

| ablomen | does anybody here know if theres an easy (as in not having to add the menu items myself) way to get all the seperate configuration utils to the applications/rightclick menu like it was in gutsy? | 13:20 |
| ablomen | (so in the settings submenu) | 13:20 |
| * ablomen doesnt like to open the settings manager to edit stuff | 13:21 | |
| cody-somerville | ablomen, you would have to edit the desktop files | 13:24 |
| ablomen | cody-somerville, they are already made? just have to enable them? | 13:25 |
| cody-somerville | ablomen, I believe so | 13:25 |
| ablomen | thanks ill go look in to that | 13:25 |
| cody-somerville | Actually, I know they were deleted at one point but readded but just disabled | 13:25 |
| cody-somerville | So you might be unlucky :P | 13:26 |
| ablomen | lol ah well i can always see if they are in there somewhere *crosses fingers* ;) | 13:26 |
| cody-somerville | /usr/share/applications/ | 13:26 |
| ablomen | yeah already there, thanks though :) | 13:27 |
| cody-somerville | np | 13:27 |
| cody-somerville | :) | 13:27 |
| ablomen | meh cant seem to find them | 13:29 |
| ablomen | ah well i can learn to live with the settings manager i guess | 13:29 |
| cody-somerville | sorry :( | 13:30 |
| ablomen | heh well user friendlieness > some things only a group of people want, can always add them myself :) | 13:31 |
| ablomen | oh your the project lead cody-somerville ? | 13:32 |

| cody-somerville | :D | 13:34 |
| cody-somerville | ablomen, Have you considered getting involved? :) | 13:34 |
| ablomen | well yeah id love to help with the programming, but the problem mainly for me is that i only really use php/javascript/perl etc | 13:35 |
| ablomen | play with other stuff from time to time but python seems to hate me (im not even kidding) and c* is a bit over my head atm | 13:36 |
| cody-somerville | No need to know how to program | 13:36 |
| cody-somerville | Most of the work is packaging, bug triage, and other fun junk :) | 13:36 |
| ablomen | haha | 13:36 |
| ablomen | do you guys have like a wiki page with "job openings"? or looking for someone to do something in particular? | 13:37 |

| black_ops | hi | 14:00 |
| cody-somerville | Hi | 14:01 |
| black_ops | does anyone know how to remove the boot image . i got a xandros machine with the xandros init | 14:01 |
| black_ops | image | 14:01 |
| black_ops | i think it is messing up my installs | 14:01 |
| black_ops | it came with xandros | 14:02 |
| black_ops | on it | 14:02 |
| black_ops | i want to put xubuntu or ubuntu on it | 14:02 |
| cody-somerville | Just install Xubuntu :) | 14:03 |
| black_ops | i have burned 3 cds all fail | 14:03 |
| black_ops | xubuntu is the only 1 that did work | 14:03 |
| black_ops | but i tried to reinstall it | 14:03 |
| black_ops | and im getting bootstrap errors | 14:04 |
| cody-somerville | Weird :I/ | 14:06 |
| nd___ | Anyone has a clue where to find a fairly complete set of mime-type icons? | 14:19 |
| ablomen | nd___, as in extra icon themes? | 14:19 |
| nd___ | Actually I don't want to use it in any wm but in the web... so it has to be under an open license. | 14:20 |
| nd___ | Therefor it doesn't really matter how it's packaged... | 14:21 |
| ablomen | /usr/share/icons | 14:21 |
| ablomen | there are all the default icon themes installed | 14:21 |
| nd___ | ablomen: As I don't have a xubuntu running atm, is there a possibility I can get the mime-type icons from you? | 14:21 |
| ablomen | lol im not going to upload all of them | 14:21 |
| nd___ | ok | 14:21 |
| ablomen | just use the ubuntu package search | 14:22 |
| ablomen | i think you can donwload the deb's from there | 14:22 |
| ablomen | http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=tango&searchon=names&suite=hardy§ion=all << for example here | 14:23 |
| nd___ | Thanks I will try that | 14:23 |
| ablomen | np, good luck | 14:24 |
| ablomen | oh and put the creator of the icons in the credits of your site ;) | 14:24 |
| nd___ | I will | 14:24 |
| nd___ | Well, e.g. with the tango-icon-theme there are only like 30 mimetypes... | 14:25 |
| ablomen | well there is more then one package, look in the other ones :) | 14:26 |
| ablomen | should be 144 of them, though most are symlinks | 14:27 |
| nd___ | ablomen: Tried all links on the site above I only found these 30 types. | 14:28 |
| nd___ | 144 sounds more like it | 14:28 |
| nd___ | I might get and run the xbuntu live-cd and get them from there... | 14:28 |
| ablomen | http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Library << you can look here too | 14:29 |
| nd___ | Did. Doesn't contain good mime-types | 14:30 |

| black_ops | install base system failed | 15:22 |
| black_ops | im trying to install it over xandros | 15:23 |
| black_ops | it came native on the box | 15:23 |
| nd___ | ablomen: Otherwise I wonder how they map it to actual types... weird non-scheme naming it seems to me | 15:24 |
| black_ops | could it be mbr? | 15:29 |
| thinkmassive | black_ops: did you specify to erase and use the entire disk? | 15:34 |
| black_ops | ill try that now | 15:35 |

| black_ops | no cigar | 15:39 |
| black_ops | and hasn't worked again | 15:40 |

| n3urogod | and you? | 17:31 |
| thinkmassive | finally getting around to load testing my webservers | 17:55 |
| thinkmassive | it's reminiscent of sim city 2000... I'd type in the code for infinite $$, build a huge city, then unleash the monster on it | 17:55 |
| thinkmassive | time for our free friday lunch, bbl :) | 17:56 |
| tingle | hello, i just tried to install xubuntu for the first time the iso loads but once the ubuntu background is loaded i get this HUGE screen whit HUGE fonts telling me i can start the install or something like that | 17:59 |
| tingle | but its to big to really install the os.. i cant download a alternate cd because im out of cd's :( is there a way to bypass this? | 18:00 |
| tingle | perhaps i can fix a xorg driver or something like that when the os is installed | 18:00 |
| tingle | in debian i normally use i810 as driver im telling this so perhaps anyone here knows its a issue or something like that | 18:01 |
| Stroganoff | !alternate | tingle | 18:01 |
| ubottu | tingle: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 18:01 |
| Stroganoff | oops sorry | 18:02 |
| Stroganoff | ur out of cd mmkay | 18:02 |
| Stroganoff | press ctrl+alt+f6 or something | 18:02 |
| tingle | Stroganoff: np, that will make it switch to tty correct? | 18:03 |
| Stroganoff | yes | 18:03 |
| es1 | free | 18:03 |
| Stroganoff | then edit Xorg.conf and replace i810 with vesa | 18:03 |
| tingle | thats possible? hmm | 18:04 |
| tingle | ill give it a try but issnt the xorg.conf on the iso? | 18:04 |
| Stroganoff | yes i did that once with a buggy ati card | 18:04 |
| Stroganoff | /etc is in a ramdisk... | 18:04 |
| Stroganoff | if this doesnt work, add a modeline to Xorg | 18:05 |
| Stroganoff | Section "Monitor" | 18:05 |
| tingle | there is nothing in xorg.conf about a vga driver... anywhere | 18:06 |
| tingle | just section "monitor" on the bottom of the config file? | 18:06 |
| Stroganoff | mmh Xorg in hardy is new and strange :D | 18:06 |
| Stroganoff | just add a "Device" section | 18:06 |
| tingle | there is a device section iirc sec ill check my pc is somewhere else ;x | 18:07 |
| tingle | configured video device | 18:07 |
| tingle | or something like that it will say | 18:07 |
| Stroganoff | thats the Identifier of the device | 18:08 |
| Stroganoff | Driver "vesa" | 18:08 |
| Stroganoff | here's a sample ;) | 18:08 |
| Stroganoff | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xorg.conf | 18:08 |
| tingle | ty ill give it a try | 18:09 |
| tingle | when i eddited the file xorg.conf an do startx i get x already started | 18:12 |
| tingle | but when i do ps x | grep xorg i get no ouput | 18:12 |
| gaurdro | tingle you probably have to kill X. | 18:16 |
| tingle | yep i know but i diddnt know how | 18:17 |
| tingle | cntrl+alt+backspace | 18:17 |
| tingle | seems to do the trick | 18:17 |
| gaurdro | yep, that does it. | 18:18 |
| tingle | :) the wallpaper became different but everything seems ok | 18:18 |
