HelloHelloHelloHello I have just started using Linux and the most confusing thing is the filesytem can anyone hep explainging this. What the files are like bin and such.13:23
Alecmgimagine all your exe files are put together in one directory13:24
Alecmgthats bin13:24
HelloHelloHellook so thats like program files13:27
Alecmgnot exactly13:27
Alecmgbecause all dll files are in lib13:27
HelloHelloHelloso bin and lib are like program files13:31
HelloHelloHellowhat would be "Documents and Settings" and "Windows13:31
HelloHelloHello"13:31
lunarticDocuments and Settings would be /home13:34
HelloHelloHelloWhat about the other folders? what would they be?13:35
lunarticwindows does not really has an equivalent13:36
Alecmgits spread out13:36
lunarticquiet confusing in the beginning if you come from windows13:37
Alecmgmost confusing is lack of C: drive :)13:37
lunarticalthough: even in xp you can mount a drive at a certain directory13:38
lunarticif you've done that then the principle of thinking starting zith a root / is easier13:39
HelloHelloHelloverry that and other linux distro don't auto mount so you have to know sda or whatever the device is that I still don't get :)13:40
lunarticThey can also automount. You only have to write a correct configuration file for it13:49

ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)19:00
=== cody-somerville_ is now known as cody-somerville
jesus_9001Ok I installed Xubuntu and everything went peachy. I updated it and restarted and it was all fine still. Then I installed the proprietary drivers for my ATi x1650 AGP card and it will not boot. The Loading Screen comes up but after that it doesn't go to the login screen. Anyone experience this before?19:04

ubottudpick: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?20:48
dpickis there any way to lock a machine without using the screensaver, similar to how windows does it?20:49
zoredacheeh?  When you lock the screen in windows it eventually starts the screen saver...20:51
dpicknot if you have the screensaver disabled20:51
zoredacheif it is disabled, doesn't it simply use the blank screen saver?20:52
dpickit just shows the login box20:53
dpicki'm just looking for a way to lock the machine without a screensaver, generally i don't bother with one20:54
zoredacheinstead of locking, choose 'switch user'  It will send you back to the login box?20:54
zoredacheinstead of locking, choose 'switch user'  It will send you back to the login box?20:55
dpickok, is there a command that i could map to a shortcut key?20:56
zoredacheprobably...  I don't know it off the top of my head20:56
pcybillFor locking the screen its xflock420:57
dpickthat just starts xscreensaver doesn't it?20:58
pcybillBut that will still get you the screen saver iirc20:58
pcybillaye20:58
pcybillit locks the screen though, you will need the pw to get out of it20:58
dpickeh whatever if i have to use the screensaver whatever20:58
zoredachewhy are you worried about the screen saver?21:00
pcybillYou can set the screen saver as a blank screen if you dont want no eye candy, then when you xflock4 it will just go to a blank screen21:01
dpicki have some processor intensive stuff running, but i have to leave my machine21:01
dpickpcybill: sounds like the best option, thanks21:01

xxTheSain1Hello, i'm trying to find some help on "Hacking" secured internet connections. I only want this because my brother has a girlfriend and her dosent have a connection, but her neighbrough does. But its unfortunatly secured22:55
xxTheSain1Is there any programs to get into the secured network?22:56
zoredachewhat you are asking for is unethical.   I doubt anyone will help22:56
xxTheSain1well, im hopeing someone can22:58
zoredachehow would you feel if I stole your bandwidth?22:58
zoredacheanyway, You almost certainly will not get an answer here.  It is a)off-topic b)unethical c)against the spirit of the 'code of conduct'22:59
wols_xxTheSain1: if you don23:04
wols_don't stop, you will simply be banned23:04
xxTheSain1hmmm, So how else am i going to get help with this23:08

dpickhow do you change the applications menu, menu editor doesn't show most of whats there23:46

TheSheepdpick: simply install or uninstall software that you want or not23:57
dpicki installed wine, whiched created an other menu, but when i unistalled wine it didn't remove it23:57
dpickis there a way to manually remove the entry?23:58
TheSheepdpick: ah, that's in ~/.local/applications/wine23:58
wols_purge it23:58
TheSheepdpick: every file in there is one entry23:58
dpickpurging it didn't work, and ~/.local/applications/wine doesn't exist23:59
TheSheepsorry, that's ~/.local/share/applications/wine23:59
