| Jeren | ^ The screenshot, as requested | 00:01 |
| Jeren | I wanted Webmin so I could have some kind of graphical interface to work with for the system. It worked fine on 7.10 | 00:02 |
| cody-somerville | If you create a new account, is it all messed up like this too? | 00:03 |
| Jeren | I haven't tried. | 00:05 |
| Jeren | I only know how to make new accounts via the Users option in the menu | 00:05 |
| Jeren | And I have a couple minutes before my coworker locks up the office...so... I'm assuming this won't be fixed soon? | 00:05 |
| cody-somerville | Jeren, I wouldn't want to rush anything. | 00:05 |
| cody-somerville | Jeren, However please come back soon and we can fix your issue. | 00:06 |
| Jeren | Well, my next day in the office is Monday... and we'll see how everyone's patience is this week <.< | 00:06 |
| Jeren | Thanks for your help. | 00:06 |
| cody-somerville | Oh. | 00:07 |
| cody-somerville | Wait | 00:07 |
| cody-somerville | Is this going to be used by other people? | 00:07 |
| Jeren | Not the desktop, no. | 00:07 |
| cody-somerville | Oh, okay. | 00:07 |
| Jeren | But I am using the box for some web development that I'm supposed to have done soon | 00:07 |
| Jeren | Hence the Apache/PHP/MySQL | 00:08 |
| cody-somerville | If that was the case and you were in a crunch, I'd tell you to setup ssh and I'd do it for you. | 00:08 |
| Jeren | Nah, its alright. | 00:08 |
| * cody-somerville nods. | 00:08 | |
| Jeren | Probably wouldn't have the time to do that anyways... :P | 00:08 |
| Jeren | But thanks again. I'll be back soon. | 00:08 |

| Mortis | TheSheep: I am still having problems with my xubuntu/ubuntu installs. | 00:24 |
| cody-somerville | Mortis, whats your problem? | 00:24 |
| Mortis | Anytime I try to install Ubuntu | 00:25 |
| Mortis | It loads the splash screen and goes to BusyBox | 00:25 |
| Mortis | I'm doing it natively | 00:25 |
| Mortis | With version 8.04. Someone told me to try Gutsy and then update to Hardy | 00:26 |
| Mortis | Meh | 00:32 |
| cody-somerville | Mortis, One second please. | 00:32 |
| cody-somerville | Mortis, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=768933 | 00:33 |
| Mortis | Cheers | 00:36 |
| Mortis | I'll try this | 00:36 |
| Mortis | Ugh | 00:38 |
| Mortis | I wish I could read this as I am booting up Ubuntu | 00:38 |
| Mortis | heh | 00:38 |
| zoredache | you could print it maybe? | 00:38 |
| Mortis | No printer | 00:40 |
| Mortis | heh | 00:40 |
| Mortis | Agh. This didn't help at all :-/ | 00:40 |
| Mortis | I've done what the guy has been saying to do. | 00:41 |
| Mortis | Most of it is him asking for error logs | 00:41 |
| Mortis | But, he said it's a general error with 8.04 that is beyond his domain. | 00:41 |
| cody-somerville | Well, I'd like to see what the error messages are. | 00:41 |
| Mortis | Okay. | 00:41 |
| Mortis | I'll try. | 00:41 |
| Mortis | Let me write this stuff down first. | 00:42 |
| Mortis | I'll be back in a minute. | 00:44 |
| greg__ | hi | 00:51 |
| cody-somerville | Hi | 00:51 |
| greg__ | there anyway to get evga indtube tuner to work? | 00:52 |
| cathartia | How do I lock my screen? | 00:52 |
| lc2 | sec | 00:54 |
| lc2 | shit, xubuntu doesn't use xscreensaver? | 00:54 |
| cathartia | I used to have a screensaver - now it doesn't come up | 00:54 |
| cathartia | I used to be able to lock my screen with ctrl-alt-delete but now it doesn't work | 00:55 |
| lc2 | oh. | 00:55 |
| lc2 | you can create a shortcut to gnome-screensaver-command --lock | 00:56 |
| lc2 | i suppose | 00:56 |
| lc2 | except here, it doesn't seem to think that the screensaver daemon is running | 00:57 |
| cathartia | ** Message: Failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon: dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed. | 00:57 |
| Mortis | I'm back with errors! | 00:57 |
| Mortis | Ok. So, these came up numerous times in the casper.log | 00:57 |
| Mortis | stdin: I/O error | 00:58 |
| Mortis | init: /init: 1: cannot open /dev/sdc: No medium found | 00:58 |
| Mortis | That error came up numerous times, but sdc was different each time. It came up as sdd, sdc, sde, sdf, plenty of times | 00:59 |
| lc2 | wow what | 00:59 |
| cody-somerville | It looks like it can't detect your drive. | 00:59 |
| Mortis | Gosh darnit... | 01:00 |
| Mortis | Is it because my drive is NTFS? | 01:00 |
| cody-somerville | I'm thinking it can't find your cd-rom drive | 01:00 |
| cody-somerville | but I could be wrong | 01:00 |
| Mortis | Oh. | 01:00 |
| Mortis | Well the thing is, it opens perfectly fine in windows. The autorun | 01:00 |
| Mortis | But that's probably completely unrelated to installing natively. | 01:01 |
| cody-somerville | Try installing with wubi | 01:01 |
| Mortis | I did. I don't want to do it again. It limited me to 6 gigs of space...for all of linux | 01:01 |
| Mortis | I couldn't partition it either. | 01:01 |
| cody-somerville | They may have updated that | 01:01 |
| cody-somerville | and you can still access ntfs from within it | 01:01 |
| Mortis | It was just yesterday :-/ | 01:01 |
| cody-somerville | so you get the rest of your drive | 01:01 |
| cody-somerville | but be warned that if you shutdown windows incorrectly then Linux won't boot because the ntfs drive will be marked as dirty, lol | 01:02 |
| Mortis | Well, if I do install thru Wubi again, I'll need your help partitioning my drive so I have at least 30 gigs for Linux. | 01:02 |
| Mortis | Maybe 25. I have 55 gigs free on my D: drive, so. | 01:02 |
| cody-somerville | Mortis, I doubt you'll need my help | 01:03 |
| Mortis | I don't know | 01:03 |
| cody-somerville | Mortis, you'll just resize your windows partition and create an ext3 partition with the new empty space | 01:03 |
| cody-somerville | It is basically a click, drag, click click click operation :) | 01:03 |
| Mortis | That's where you're wrong, I will. XD | 01:03 |
| Mortis | This is my first time talking about partitioning or using Linux | 01:03 |
| Mortis | SO. I'm quiet uninformed when it comes to this. | 01:03 |
| cody-somerville | Ok | 01:04 |
| Mortis | When I had installed through wubi before, I was told that it wasn't even running Linux as an OS. | 01:04 |
| cody-somerville | I hope you don't lose any of your data | 01:04 |
| cody-somerville | Thats not true | 01:04 |
| Mortis | It was more like an App, and that it didn't really have any physical space on my drive | 01:04 |
| cody-somerville | No, incorrect. | 01:04 |
| cody-somerville | Have you ever heard of a swap file? | 01:04 |
| Mortis | Nope. | 01:04 |
| cody-somerville | Okay | 01:04 |
| cody-somerville | Well, basically, it is just creating one big special file on your windows hard drive to store linux | 01:05 |
| cody-somerville | But you're still really running linux when you boot into it | 01:05 |
| Mortis | That's what I thought. Cause when I went to look for my linux folder, it wasn't there. | 01:05 |
| Mortis | It was just a bunch of unrecognizable files | 01:05 |
| Mortis | Anyways, I'm pretty sure I'll need help partitioning. | 01:05 |
| lc2 | Mortis: when you install wubi, you *aren't partitioning* | 01:05 |
| lc2 | you're creating a giant file on your NTFS disk | 01:06 |
| Mortis | Well then I don't want to do that, because then I can't change the size of space it uses. | 01:06 |
| lc2 | there is nothing to go wrong | 01:06 |
| cody-somerville | aestetix, `23AZ23 | 01:06 |
| lc2 | and yes, you can change the amount of space it uses, at installation | 01:06 |
| shane__ | any one know if we have an equivalent to the app Folder Lock | 01:06 |
| Mortis | It never asked before :-/ | 01:06 |
| lc2 | but it's not "partionining" as such | 01:06 |
| Mortis | I'll try this again. | 01:06 |
| lc2 | Mortis: it does ask | 01:06 |
| Mortis | The highest I can go is 30 gigs. :-/ | 01:07 |
| Mortis | What if I want to go higher than that? | 01:07 |
| cody-somerville | Mortis, You can create a real linux partition if you want | 01:07 |
| Mortis | Which is what I want to do. | 01:07 |
| Mortis | I don't know why, but I really don't like the idea of Wubi. | 01:07 |
| cody-somerville | And for good reason :) | 01:08 |
| Mortis | I guess it's just me wanting to learn more about partitioning and Linux | 01:08 |
| Mortis | So I don't get stuck in this "lulz noob" stage with Wubi. | 01:08 |
| Mortis | By just running everything like windows. | 01:08 |
| Mortis | Well, not like windows | 01:08 |
| Mortis | but | 01:08 |
| Mortis | I feel like I'm not learning anything by using a windows installer for a completely different OS. | 01:09 |
| lc2 | Mortis: seems to me that using it is more important than installing it | 01:09 |
| lc2 | you know? | 01:09 |
| Mortis | Well yes, but my point is, I want to learn something from this instead of taking the easy way out | 01:09 |
| Mortis | I want to learn about partitioning and codes using Linux | 01:10 |
| Mortis | That came out wrong. | 01:10 |
| lc2 | Mortis: i think that's overrated, tbh | 01:10 |
| Mortis | Eh. Either way, I'd much rather have a partition for Linux than have a swap file | 01:11 |
| lc2 | k. | 01:11 |
| Mortis | If worst comes to worst, I'll have to resort to Wubi. | 01:11 |
| lc2 | or another distro | 01:11 |
| Mortis | Yes, but I really don't like the looks of any of the other ones. | 01:11 |
| zoredache | Mortis: you could play around inside vmware... it will give you closer to a 'real-world' experience then wubi | 01:12 |
| Mortis | BWAHHAHA | 01:12 |
| Mortis | A blessing! More blank CDs! | 01:12 |
| lc2 | Mortis: win | 01:12 |
| lc2 | Mortis: have you thought about installing a 32-bit version? | 01:12 |
| Mortis | That's the version I have right now. | 01:12 |
| Mortis | The only 64bit version of anything I have tried to install is Xubuntu. | 01:13 |
| cody-somerville | Mortis, did your error log look like this?: | 01:13 |
| cody-somerville | http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10172960/casper.log | 01:13 |
| Mortis | Pretty much. | 01:13 |
| Mortis | Wait, no. | 01:13 |
| Mortis | I didn't have the fda: No such devices found error | 01:14 |
| Mortis | Mine said "sdc: No medium found" | 01:14 |
| Mortis | And mine didn't have stdin: error 0 | 01:14 |
| Mortis | Nevermind, no mine looked nothing like that. | 01:14 |
| Mortis | lol | 01:14 |
| Mortis | I'm going to try Gutsy, and see if I can update to hardy, let alone get Gutsy installed. | 01:15 |
| cody-somerville | the numbers and letter for the files might be different | 01:15 |
| lc2 | Mortis: you mentioned an error with stdin though | 01:15 |
| cody-somerville | but the rest is the same, right? | 01:15 |
| Mortis | Yes | 01:16 |
| Mortis | No | 01:16 |
| Mortis | I didn't have chroot errors | 01:16 |
| lc2 | Mortis: the chroot errors are related to the sort of problem you have | 01:17 |
| Mortis | My stdin error was stdin: I/O error | 01:17 |
| Mortis | What is the diagnosis for that problem then? | 01:17 |
| Mortis | Bad drive? | 01:17 |
| lc2 | ask that guy ---> | 01:18 |
| cody-somerville | Mortis, Are you using the live cd or alternative? | 01:18 |
| Mortis | livecd | 01:18 |
| Mortis | The alternative doesn't mount | 01:18 |
| Mortis | and it says it can't find the 'release' file. | 01:18 |
| Mortis | It gets to the installation thugh, at least. | 01:19 |
| Mortis | Well, I have 50 CDs now. I'm going to try and install Gutsy, then update to Hardy. | 01:21 |
| Mortis | This is only going to work through trial and error. | 01:21 |
| Mortis | 8-B | 01:21 |
| lc2 | Mortis: if they're a different brand of CD, try burning the alternative install again | 01:21 |
| lc2 | it could just be crappy cds | 01:22 |
| cody-somerville | Mortis, This is Hardy you're attempting to install thus far? | 01:22 |
| jokoon | Hello | 01:23 |
| cody-somerville | Hi | 01:23 |
| jokoon | bluetooth not working in xubuntu, what can I do ? | 01:24 |
| cody-somerville | One second | 01:25 |
| Mortis | Yes Cody. | 01:25 |
| Mortis | Also, I was using Memorex CDs before. I'm about to use Sony now. | 01:25 |
| cody-somerville | jokoon, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 01:25 |
| cody-somerville | Mortis, I don't think the installer is correctly detecting your cd-rom drive | 01:25 |
| Mortis | What can I do about it? | 01:25 |
| cody-somerville | please join #ubuntu-installer | 01:26 |
| Mortis | Okay, I'm in it. | 01:26 |

| nubuntu | hey guys wassup 2nite. having a little prob with google earth. installed it on this machine with seemingly no prob, but when it started up dialog box suggested that graphics card needed new driver, so i went thru the process of finding my card (tnt2 legacy), and then installed the legacy driver from 'add-remove', followed by sudo nvidia-glx-config enable' as per instruction. but now earth... | 06:14 |
| nubuntu | ...crashes on startup, and seemingly some other things as well... any ideas? | 06:14 |
| colinl | Hi | 11:32 |

| colinl | "org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable, no <-- (action, result)" | 11:32 |
| colinl | from what I gathered it comes from PolicyKit | 11:32 |
| colinl | anyone else has that? | 11:33 |
| hyppias | which mobile phone brands have good linux support ? | 13:54 |
| colinl | hyppias: I've had success with Sony ericcson and motorola | 13:55 |
| colinl | I'd guess Nokia, too, but didn't try any since ages | 13:55 |
| hyppias | colinl; NOKIA IS BAAAAAD: GNOKII IS RATHER LIMITED, AND NOKIA ITSELF DOES NOT PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR LINUX | 13:55 |
| hyppias | oops..sorry | 13:56 |
| colinl | ^^ | 13:58 |
| colinl | hyppias: sony ericcson doesn't either (provide support), but they stick to standards so it works | 13:58 |
| colinl | (phone as modem works, mass storage works) | 13:59 |
| colinl | I don't use other features like PIM | 13:59 |
| hyppias | I tried Gnokii on Nokia, but it's rather limited... | 14:00 |

| excalibas | hello, i did a fresh install of xubuntu hardy, and i a am having some problems mounting partitions, xubuntu cant mount | 16:00 |
| excalibas | ups | 16:00 |
| excalibas | it doesnt mount automatic the outher partitions on the hd | 16:01 |
| excalibas | and if i put a usb hd it mounts but cant unmount (eject) | 16:01 |
| excalibas | is there a easy way to fix this please? | 16:02 |
| vinnl | excalibas, you could try to check if a bug is reported at bugs.ubuntu.com and perhaps if there's a workaround in the comments | 16:02 |
| === adam is now known as Guest6839 | ||
| vinnl | But I wouldn't know a solution :( | 16:02 |
| excalibas | or mabie a hard one.... if someone can point me any direction would be great | 16:03 |
| === adam__ is now known as maxamillion | ||
| excalibas | vinnl: will see that | 16:03 |
| excalibas | vinnl: i dont really know what i should look for | 16:04 |
| vinnl | excalibas, me neither, really. A combination of "mount", "xubuntu" and USB perhaps | 16:05 |
| excalibas | vinnl: and about the automatic mounting of internal paritions? i should use fstab? | 16:10 |
| vinnl | excalibas, I think so, but I know nothing about that... | 16:10 |
| excalibas | ok, thanks | 16:11 |
| glitsj16 | excalibas: yes, use fstab for automount | 16:26 |
| glitsj16 | if you need any assistance doing that, i'll be back in 5 minutes, pm me | 16:28 |

| AlexCONRAD | hi, I'm trying to autostart an application using ~/.config/autostart/myapp.desktop. In this file, I've set a "Path=/path/to/run/in/" line, but it doesn't seem to take this in account. Ideas? | 17:47 |
| Zelut | is there an official way of removing the xubuntu-desktop meta package? I just tried and it didn't pull out anything it added. | 17:48 |
| Riotta | Zelut | 17:51 |
| Riotta | it's my favourite question | 17:51 |
| Riotta | ^^ | 17:52 |
| TheSheep | Zelut: try apt-get autoremove | 17:52 |
| Zelut | nothing listed.. | 17:52 |
| Zelut | i just used debfoster to manually clean it out, but shouldn't the removal of the meta package also remove its contents? | 17:52 |
| Riotta | Zelut: what you want to stay ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop ? | 17:53 |
| TheSheep | Zelut: only using autoremove | 17:53 |
| Zelut | Riotta: I just installed it parallel to ubuntu-desktop to take a look and then tried removing when I was done. | 17:53 |
| TheSheep | Zelut: you don't want to be forced to keep everything from xubuntu, right? you want to be able to uninstall gnumeric, for example | 17:53 |
| Zelut | TheSheep: right. everything xubuntu-desktop added it should also remove, but its not listing anything when I do that other than the meta package itself. | 17:54 |
| Riotta | here Zelut: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/21441/ | 17:54 |
| Riotta | this command solve your problem | 17:54 |
| TheSheep | Zelut: apt-get and synpatic keep track of which packages were installed manually and which were pulled in as dependencies. apt-get autoremove will remove the automatically pulled packages that no longer have their depndee | 17:54 |
| Riotta | it's one big command | 17:54 |
| TheSheep | Zelut: of course it all breaks in flames if you use aptitude | 17:55 |
| Zelut | I installed with aptitude which should auto-add and auto-remove (aptitude includes the autoremove option), but nothing was removed. | 17:55 |
| TheSheep | Zelut: jsut don't use aptitude | 17:55 |
| TheSheep | just | 17:55 |
| Riotta | see link I gaved to you | 17:55 |
| holo | gaved | 17:56 |
| holo | that was funny | 17:56 |
| holo | is like double past | 17:56 |
| holo | so much in the past, that one can hardly remember | 17:56 |
| TheSheep | holo: English is evolving | 17:56 |
| Zelut | aptitude remove works for other meta packages so why not xubuntu-desktop? | 17:56 |
| Riotta | holo: stop trolling :d it's not my native language and I wanna be helpful | 17:57 |
| holo | I know, but it's still funny | 17:57 |
| TheSheep | Zelut: no idea, wanna fill a bug? | 17:57 |
| Riotta | okay :d | 17:57 |
| Riotta | Zelut: if you installed ubuntu-desktop with aptitude you should only type remove command to remove whole packages | 17:58 |
| Riotta | like sudo aptitude remove xubuntu-desktop | 17:58 |
| Riotta | and it should remove all packages from this metapackage | 17:59 |
| Zelut | Riotta: that's what I'm saying. Its not working with either method. | 18:00 |
| Zelut | http://pastebin.ca/1051216 | 18:00 |
| Zelut | example of installing with apt-get, removing and using autoremove. Nothing is removed. | 18:00 |
| Riotta | then do this manually: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/21441/ | 18:00 |
| Riotta | it's clean and safe command | 18:00 |
| Zelut | I understand the differences in apt-get and aptitude regarding auto-removal, etc. What I'm wondering is if the package is broken so removal doesn't work | 18:01 |
| Riotta | I don't think so | 18:01 |
| Riotta | I had few time broken packages and it always removed it | 18:02 |
| Riotta | it's not RPM, where package database corrupt often | 18:02 |
| === excalibas_ is now known as excalibas | ||
| Riotta | technically you should be able to remove even broken package | 18:03 |
| Zelut | so we don't have any answer to why I might need to remove each package individually? I've tried with aptitude and apt-get, neither will remove the full contents. | 18:03 |
| === effie is now known as effie_jayx | ||
| holo | Zelut, you can make a script that check every depend of a package to remove and remove not only the package, but also the depends | 18:05 |
| holo | and I assure it doesn't take more than some minutes | 18:06 |
| djouallah | stupid question, where to find audio channel volume | 18:26 |
| djouallah | ok fine find it ;) | 18:28 |
| holo | I have a bulgarian friend that when she wants to say a verb in the past, uses the present, though when wants to say in the present uses past... I'm still yet to found out why | 18:34 |

| holo | :] | 18:41 |
| excalibas | how can i disable the login on xubuntu? (no pasword) | 18:42 |

| slow-motion | hi | 19:44 |
| peter77 | I installed the kubuntu desktop by apt-get, I have tried aptitude remove and apt-get autoremove but both have just moved the meta package instead of the entire desktop | 20:03 |

| blondie | how do you create a script to execute a command? | 22:05 |
| TheSheep | blondie: you write that command in a text file, and make the file executable | 22:08 |
| blondie | TheSheep, how do you make it executable? | 22:08 |
| TheSheep | blondie: that is, you add the 'execute' permission, you can do it by right-clicking, selecting properties and the the last tab | 22:09 |
| TheSheep | blondie: got it? | 22:11 |
| blondie | i did it using chmod a+x (filename) and the executable checkbox is checked on the Permissions tab but it still won't run | 22:11 |
| TheSheep | blondie: how do you run it? | 22:12 |
| glitsj16 | blondie: did you add the she-bang as first line in your script ? | 22:12 |
| TheSheep | glitsj16: bash in the default when there is no hashbang | 22:13 |
| glitsj16 | TheSheep: true, i don't know what kind of script blondie has made | 22:13 |
| blondie | glitsj16: no, what's that mean? !? | 22:13 |
| TheSheep | blondie: you can specify what program to run it with by typing '#!path-to-theprogram' as the first line, for example #!/bin/bash | 22:14 |
| blondie | i'm trying to execute a command during boot after all other services have loaded (the very last thing) | 22:14 |
| glitsj16 | blondie: each script is interpreted, the first line i.e. #!/bin/bash is a bash script, #!/usr/bin/perl is a perl script .. the system need to know what's in there, that's the genral idea | 22:15 |
| TheSheep | blondie: then just add that command to the /etc/rc.local file, before the 'exit' | 22:15 |
| TheSheep | blondie: be aware that it gets executed with root priviledges though | 22:15 |
| blondie | TheSheep: i put it in /etc/rc.local/rc.5 | 22:15 |
| blondie | TheSheep: actually, i put a symbolic link to /home/scripts/<scriptname> | 22:16 |
| TheSheep | blondie: rc.local is supposed to be a file | 22:16 |

| blondie | It says 'bad interpreter' when I run it from the command line with !#<command> | 22:33 |
| glitsj16 | blondie: could you show the first line here please ? | 22:33 |
| glitsj16 | blondie: it is #! instead of !#, could be a typo you made here, double-check | 22:34 |
| blondie | !#xm start linux | 22:34 |
| ubottu | Factoid xm start linux not found | 22:34 |
| blondie | I put the executable text file directly instead of a symbolic link FYI | 22:35 |
| glitsj16 | blondie: is xm the command you want to run ? | 22:35 |
| blondie | xm | 22:35 |
| glitsj16 | and start linux are it's parameters ? | 22:35 |
| blondie | glitsj16: yes, and it works from the command line | 22:35 |
| blondie | and even when run from the same directory as the text file | 22:36 |
| blondie | perhaps BASH is not the right thing? | 22:36 |
| glitsj16 | blondie: what's the location of xm ? /usr/bin or something else ? it needs that path as well | 22:36 |
| blondie | not sure, how do i find it? | 22:36 |
| glitsj16 | blondie: could be, i'm not familiar with the command xm | 22:36 |
| glitsj16 | "locate xm" from terminal will tell you that | 22:37 |
| blondie | locate command not found | 22:37 |
| blondie | oops, it's in /usr/sbin | 22:37 |
| glitsj16 | blondie: and it is in a separate file on its own, not in one of those TheSheep mentioned ? | 22:38 |
| glitsj16 | blondie: if it is, try #!/bin/sh as first line and in your script point to /usr/sbin/xm start linux to run it | 22:40 |
| blondie | I dont' have a file, I have rc.d and in that i have a folder rc5.d and i put the batch file in there | 22:40 |
| glitsj16 | blondie: ok, add the path to it in that case, /usr/sbin/xm linux start | 22:41 |
| blondie | I did and it still doesn't run, but it no longer gives an error either | 22:42 |
| blondie | and, mind you, i'm just typing ./StartVM for now | 22:42 |
| blondie | oh, so don't use #! ??? | 22:43 |
| blondie | better | 22:43 |
| blondie | it ran manually, so if i restart the system will /etc/rc.d/rc4.d.StartVM execute automatically at boot | 22:44 |
| blondie | ? | 22:44 |
| glitsj16 | blondie: i'm confused :) if it is a separate file you need the #!/bin/sh (that will tell the system to run it via shell) | 22:44 |
| glitsj16 | blondie: is that the only line that is in there ? the xm linux start bit ? | 22:45 |
| blondie | glitsj16: when i put the she-bang in front and entered ./StartVM it didnt' run and gave no error | 22:45 |
| blondie | when i removed the she-bang it ran | 22:45 |
| blondie | the entire contents of /etc/rc.d/rc5/StartVM are /usr/sbin/xm start linux | 22:46 |
| blondie | i guess just try it? or do you think it won't work without she-bang? | 22:47 |
| blondie | oh, btw, rc5.d is a directory, not a file | 22:47 |
| glitsj16 | blondie: ok, i still think you need the #!/bin/sh as first and only line at the top of the file StartVM | 22:47 |
| glitsj16 | blondie: something like this: | 22:48 |
| blondie | glitsj16: does it concern you that nothing happens when you run it from the command line using ./StartVM | 22:48 |
| blondie | ? | 22:48 |
| jokoon | I beg you. I have a ibook G4, and my touchpad is going insane, making my cursor shaking like crazy, gimme some simple way to shut it down, even some config file to edit | 22:48 |
| jokoon | or some soft | 22:48 |
| jokoon | (and a way to mount a partition that was mounted when I was under ubuntu, and how make my bluetooth work like in ubuntu) | 22:49 |
| glitsj16 | blondie: if run in terminal yes it will work, because the terminal is in fact a shell, if run from that rc5 dir it needs it, but then ypou must start /usr/sbin/xm start linux on the next line, after #!/bin/sh | 22:50 |
| blondie | glitsj16: ahhh, so #!/bin/sh on line 1 and /usr/sbin/xm start linux on the second line | 22:51 |
| glitsj16 | blondie: correct | 22:51 |

| Genelyk | :D | 23:16 |
| blondie | glitsj16: still not working :( | 23:17 |
| glitsj16 | blondie: sorry; was at another channel, can i pm you ? | 23:19 |
| blondie | it totally works from the command line ./StartVM, but not during boot | 23:19 |
| blondie | OK | 23:19 |
