[00:00] <Nillerz> If my hard-drive crashes and burns then I'll just hit the salvage heaps but no one throws out a ups
[00:11] <thinkmassive> actually a UPS is probably easy to find, just get a new battery
[00:12] <thinkmassive> do you keep backups?
[00:12] <Nillerz> I'm judging this off the fact that I've seen one UPS in my life but have seen well over a thousand hard-drives
[00:12] <Nillerz> Not in a major way, actually, is there a way to access windows networked folders?
[00:12] <thinkmassive> samba
[00:12] <zoredache> !fusesmb
[00:13] <Nillerz> Okay, here's the plan: I get FuseSmb and my wireless drivers backed up on my 2 gb MP3 player.
[00:14] <Nillerz> Then I switch to my XP partition and finish watching a movie I don't feel like backing up
[00:14] <Nillerz> Then I re-install EVERYTHING, and use the backedup files on my other computer that is only on when my dad is using it
[00:15] <Nillerz> I need to sort through things, so I don't get the Adobe master collection on my linux box, that takes a while, like all iso files... plus it's useless
[00:16] <Nillerz> okay, now... crapshoot
[00:16] <Nillerz> !mp3
[00:16] <Nillerz> !mp3 player
[00:16] <Nillerz> !mount
[00:17] <Nillerz> Is there a way to mount an MP3 player?
[00:17] <thinkmassive> a lot of them automount similar to a flash drive
[00:17] <Nillerz> which directory would it be in?
[00:17] <Nillerz> NVM!
[00:17] <Nillerz> that's NIFTY.
[00:19] <thinkmassive> you should think of finding a usb hdd enclosure
[00:19] <Nillerz> Yeah, I have my eyes on a 250 gig on sale at Radioshack for 100 bucks
[00:19] <thinkmassive> if you don't have a problem finding a hdd, salvage one and stick it in the enclosure, then you've got an easy way to move data around
[00:20] <thinkmassive> you should be able to get 500GB for $100
[00:20] <Nillerz> Hard drives aren't necessarily easy to find so much as easy to buy for a couple bucks or yardwork
[00:20] <Nillerz> wait, really? Where?
[00:20] <thinkmassive> I usually use newegg.com
[00:21] <thinkmassive> other places might be cheaper, but they're reliable and have good customer service in case something is broken
[00:21] <Nillerz> Gah, I need to pay things off first but then, I will keep that in mind
[00:21] <Nillerz> I never use Newegg but until now I couldn't buy things off the internet, no bank account.
[00:21] <thinkmassive> but I just got 2 external 500GB w/usb 2 + esata for like 95 each
[00:21] <Nillerz> Used cash
[00:21] <stweston> THANK YOU SO MUCH!
[00:21] <thinkmassive> you can buy one of those visa cards
[00:21] <thinkmassive> like a visa gift card
[00:21] <stweston> I just got an idea for installing xubuntu!
[00:21] <thinkmassive> or use a debit card if you have one
[00:22] <Nillerz> on an external HD?
[00:22] <stweston> no
[00:22] <stweston> wait -
[00:22] <Nillerz> then going around and playing with it on other people's computers?
[00:22] <stweston> I thought of installing it by using my old iPod!
[00:22] <Nillerz> :O
[00:22] <Nillerz> Can';t you install some linux distros on an iPod?
[00:22] <stweston> thank you so much! it's a 2GB iPod Nano - 2nd Gen.
[00:23] <stweston> yeah, but that isn't what I"m thinking of...
[00:23] <stweston> good idea, tho
[00:23] <stweston> I can use the live USB thing
[00:23] <stweston> right?
[00:23] <stweston> if I format the iPod as a drive?
[00:24] <thinkmassive> you could, or you could sell the ipod and probably buy about ten 2gb usb drives with the profit
[00:24] <stweston> ...
[00:24] <stweston> nah. this is more clever.
[00:24] <thinkmassive> haha
[00:24] <stweston> the iPod is old.
[00:24] <thinkmassive> just saying...
[00:24] <thinkmassive> yeah, but people pay a premium for apple stuff
[00:24] <stweston> aah
[00:24] <stweston> good point.
[00:24] <stweston> wait - what exaclty is a premium?
[00:24] <stweston> extra?
[00:25] <thinkmassive> yes
[00:25] <stweston> ok
[00:25] <Nillerz> Wait, I have a 2 gig mp3 player, could I use it to store an OS?
[00:25] <stweston> well I'll remove the liveUSB thing first.
[00:25] <Nillerz> It's just flash media though
[00:25] <thinkmassive> that, and you can get 2gb flash for about $8
[00:25] <stweston> my iPod is flash.
[00:28] <kriel> Okay, here's a strange question. I tried ripping a CD that was scratched up to all hell. I know, it had to spin down and spin back up a few times, and probably wasn't the best on my CD ROM.
[00:29] <kriel> However, ever since I've done that, my system has _dragged._ Like, taking 10-20 seconds to open a music file off the hard drive.
[00:30] <kriel> (In other news, does anybody know the hotkey for fullscreen on PuTTY? I clicked the wrong button, and now irssi is my whole screen..)
[00:31] <kriel> (Nvm about the PuTTY)
[00:32] <Nillerz> o_O
[00:32] <Nillerz> That's a weird problem
[00:33] <Nillerz> Pity I can't help. Ta ta!
[00:33] <kriel> It may not be cause and effect; That's just the immediate thing I... noticed...
[00:40] <kriel> what the fuck?
[00:40] <kriel> It's even persistent after a reboot.
[00:40] <kriel> Ehr... my mistake; forgot this isn't a private channel.
[00:56] <DCPom> lol
[00:59] <ogre> first day on xfce. wondering if there is any dock or widget that works for networkmanager. I am trying to remove all panels
[01:00] <ogre> and battery life as well
[01:00]  * flyback goes to cook a steak
[01:05] <amdpox> Does anyone know how to get Rhythmbox to recognise iPods under XFCE?
[01:05] <amdpox> I've got the gnome services checked in the sessions preferences but it still doesn't work
[01:11] <stweston> does anyone know if syslinux comes in an OS X version?
[01:11] <stweston> and no, I don't.
[01:11] <stweston> wiat - it does!
[01:12] <stweston> uh... correction - under GNOME
[01:13] <stweston> but do you know if "syslinux" comes in an OS X version? I'm trying to boot from my old iPod
[01:19] <stweston> anyone?
[01:28] <stweston> does anyone know how to make a LiveUSB drive from a Mac?

[01:58] <stweston> yeah
[02:04] <ogre> first day on xfce. wondering if there is any dock or widget that works for networkmanagerand battery. I am trying to remove all panels
[02:04] <Odd-rationale> ogre: you can have a free floating panel that autohides? is that good enough?
[02:05] <ogre> Odd-rationale:  i can make transparent correct?
[02:06] <Odd-rationale> ogre: if you have a compositor... xfce has one built in... you just need to enable it...
[02:07] <ogre> Odd-rationale:  sorry for so many questions but how do i do that?
[02:08] <Odd-rationale> ogre: applications --> settings --> window manager tweaks --> Compositor...
[02:13] <Odd-rationale> gnome 2.24 looks tempting...
[02:15] <amdpox> indeed it does
[02:16] <Odd-rationale> someone need to stop me from wiping xfce out for it!!
[02:17] <amdpox> think of the bloat and the lag
[02:18] <thinkmassive> don't talk about her that way
[02:18] <thinkmassive> gnomes need lovin too
[02:21] <amdpox> gnome devs need head smashings against walls
[02:21] <amdpox> features are not bad
[02:21] <amdpox> w
[02:21] <amdpox> *why does kde have to be so ugly and weird
[02:28] <ogre> Odd-rationale:  any way to make panel transparent and icons opaque?
[02:28] <amdpox> ogre, nope, xfce panel sets an overall opacity
[02:29] <amdpox> if you want a mac-like dock with system tray, try avant-window-navigator
[02:31] <ogre> amdpox:  yeah but i need networkmanager
[02:31] <amdpox> networkmanager is a tray applet
[02:32] <amdpox> awn (or at least the svn version) has a tray plugin
[02:36] <DCPom> how do you do a screen capture for xub?
[02:51]  * flyback bbl
[03:28] <Nillerz> what was that program for getting files from a network?
[03:29] <thinkmassive> Nillerz, what kind of network?
[03:29] <Nillerz> wireless and trying to access a windows shared folder
[03:29] <thinkmassive> fusesmb
[03:34] <Nillerz> thanks mate
[03:43] <Nillerz> How... mmm... how does it work?
[03:43] <saiki> hey guys
[03:43] <Nillerz> how does fusesmb work?
[03:44] <saiki> I have 2 issues, if someone can tell me how to fex these I'd appriciate it: 1. Mic captures volume WAY too low. 2. I can't mount other parions of the same hard drive (NTFS formatted) anc anyone help me?
[03:45] <amdpox> saiki, open a terminal and run alsamixer, ensure all channels are maxed and unmuted
[03:47] <saiki> that's playback, what about capture?
[03:47] <saiki> it's a ms VX-5000
[03:50] <saiki> lol, soundrecorede let me up the mic
[03:50] <saiki> now to go test it
[03:53] <Nillerz> how does fusesmb work?
[03:53] <Nillerz> The page I googled is lacking...
[03:54] <stweston> anyone here willing to tell me some cmd line prompts to get Ubuntu Server running?
[03:54] <stweston> I need internet connectivity from an ethernet cable, BTW
[03:55] <stweston> wait - this is the wrong place to ask that... sorry
[04:09] <Nillerz> gosh darn you connection time-outs!
[04:11] <saiki> I have 2 issues, if someone can tell me how to fex these I'd appriciate it: 2. I can't mount other parions of the same hard drive (NTFS formatted) anc anyone help me?
[04:12] <Nillerz> I can't access the networked folder due to it timing out
[04:20] <Odd-rationale> !ntfs | saiki
[04:24] <saiki> already git
[04:27] <Nillerz> !fusesmb
[04:29] <Nillerz> !ohmy
[04:41] <Nillerzz> Is it possible that the shared directory with AMD64 is too gigantic for me to access?
[04:42] <stweston> no clue... sorry
[04:42] <Nillerzz> okay, I know that the directory is several several several gigabytes
[04:42] <Nillerzz> I wonder if my FTP client can do it...
[04:48] <stweston> hello, all
[04:49] <Nillerzz> echo "hello world";
[04:49]  * Stop doing that.
[04:50] <stweston> I need a command to get the xubuntu GUI thru Ubuntu Server
[04:50]  * Stop complaining.
[04:50] <stweston> why?
[04:50]  * Stop right there, criminal scum
[04:50] <stweston> ...
[04:50] <nillerzz> I'm sorry
[04:50] <nillerzz> Just messing with tou
[04:50] <stweston> LOL
[04:50] <stweston> okay
[04:50] <stweston> that was clever, though.
[04:51] <nillerzz> thanks
[04:51] <nillerzz> I did it for hours on #xkcd-signal as "Actually"
[04:51] <stweston> now, I need a command to get the xubuntu GUI on my Ubuntu Server install.
[04:51] <stweston> LOL
[04:56] <paul928> stweston: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" will install the entire xubuntu package
[04:56] <stweston> okay
[04:57] <stweston> thanks
[04:57]  * A hollow voice says, "Plugh".

[05:06] <Nillerz> Apparently they do exist.
[05:06] <amdpox> Nillerz, you are the man?
[05:06] <Nillerz> I am, so it is said, the man
[05:07] <STWeston> no. he got 7 days "in jail"
[05:07] <amdpox> dude, there's like, hentai without tits in that forum

[05:07] <amdpox> !ohmy | amdpox
[05:07] <cody-somerville> Please take the offtopic chatter to the offtopic channel please.
[05:07] <Nillerz> I backed up the one pag where I was called the man and I privately hosted it
[05:07] <STWeston> oh.
[05:08] <STWeston> so, how do you view web pages on Ubuntu Server?
[05:08] <STWeston> just wondering
[05:08] <Nillerz> I know, Nilerz just reminds me of every one I hate.
[05:08] <Nillerz> Nillerz is the man. I have to stop his korrupt system!
[05:08] <Nillerz> it's a server, why would you?
[05:08] <STWeston> LOL
[05:08] <STWeston> ...
[05:09] <Nillerz> I <3 capitalism
[05:09] <Nillerz> free market forevar
[05:09] <STWeston> LOL
[05:09] <STWeston> that was.... odd.
[05:10] <STWeston> what did it say?
[05:10] <amdpox> "requested by", love it
[05:10] <STWeston> ...
[05:10] <STWeston> requested by?
[05:10] <Nillerz> Heh
[05:10] <STWeston> did you two do this?
[05:10] <Nillerz> cody-somerville! I might have known!
[05:10] <STWeston> *curses in their general direction*
[05:10] <Nillerz> actually I didn't
[05:10]  * STWeston curses at amdpox
[05:11] <amdpox> quick, change the topic to debian-based distros using xfce frontends!
[05:11] <STWeston> LOL
[05:11] <STWeston> good one
[05:12] <paul928> STWeston: to view webpages on the server you might want to install a text-based browser like lynx
[05:12] <STWeston> okay
[05:12] <STWeston> well, I'm waiting for xubuntu to DL for this install, so it won't matter soon.
[05:13] <STWeston> but what's the command for Lynx?
[05:13] <amdpox> "lynx"
[05:13] <Nillerz> sudo apt-get install lynx ?
[05:13] <paul928> sudo apt-get install lynx
[05:13] <STWeston> okay
[05:13] <amdpox> I prefer links myself
[05:13] <paul928> elinks?
[05:13] <paul928> that works too
[05:13] <Nillerz> I prefer Opera
[05:14] <Nillerz> it's totally not a furry
[05:14] <amdpox> haha
[05:14] <Nillerz> unlike that fox thing...
[05:14] <paul928> opera doesn't work well without a xserver
[05:14] <Nillerz> nah
[05:14] <STWeston> apparently, because I'm DL'ing the xubuntu GUI, it's not gonna work.
[05:14] <Nillerz> ;_;
[05:14] <STWeston> sorry, guys
[05:15] <paul928> what won't work?
[05:15] <STWeston> DL'ing lynx
[05:15] <amdpox> ctrl+c  the current apt, then install lynx, then xubuntu again
[05:15] <amdpox> it keeps what you've downloaded so far
[05:15] <STWeston> okay
[05:15] <paul928> not until you're done with one download
[05:15] <amdpox> oh, does it restart incomplete files?
[05:16] <amdpox> I thought it did wget -c
[05:16] <STWeston> dang it! I just did that.
[05:17] <amdpox> sorry :/
[05:17] <amdpox> how much did you lose?
[05:17] <STWeston> oh, good. it didn't lose anything!
[05:17] <STWeston> it restarted
[05:17] <STWeston> I think
[05:18] <STWeston> well, I mean, it continued
[05:18] <STWeston> now, how do I start Lynx?
[05:18] <STWeston> just type lynx?
[05:19] <cody-somerville> try?
[05:19] <STWeston> or what?
[05:19] <STWeston> ...
[05:19] <Nillerz> type lynx, see what happense
[05:19] <STWeston> okay
[05:19] <STWeston> unable to read document
[05:20] <STWeston> er... access
[05:20] <cody-somerville> STWeston, look, you've been around since 2007. Why are you asking questions you obviously know the answer to?
[05:20] <STWeston> 2007? how would you know?
[05:20] <Nillerz> because of his own insecurities
[05:21] <Nillerz> he's deeply troubled and afraid of rejection
[05:21] <STWeston> I just installed my first linux distro this week!
[05:21] <Nillerz> i dunno
[05:21] <Nillerz> ooooh!!!
[05:21] <Nillerz> the plot twists
[05:21] <cody-somerville> STWeston, because someone was complaining about you asking questions in #ubuntu-installer and so I join the channel and I don't even have to wait to see who he is talking about because the last time I was in the channel back in December 2007 you were annoying people then too and it was right there in the backlog.
[05:22] <STWeston> what?
[05:22] <STWeston> I don't remember that.
[05:22] <Nillerz> wut
[05:22] <STWeston> honestly
[05:22] <Nillerz> maybe he had ubuntu installation problems
[05:22] <Nillerz> and now that he's solved them he's new again
[05:22] <STWeston> the guy was being helpful
[05:23] <cody-somerville> :P
[05:23] <cody-somerville> I'm going to bed. behave yourselves :P
[05:23] <STWeston> okay
[05:23] <STWeston> fine.
[05:23] <STWeston> but my question still stands.
[05:23] <STWeston> how do I start Lynx?
[05:23] <Nillerz> lynx
[05:23] <STWeston> tried. failed
[05:23] <Nillerz> type it, see what ahppans
[05:23] <Nillerz> sudo lynx
[05:23] <amdpox> what's a lineks? I typed in the letters you said but nothing happens
[05:24] <STWeston> still failed.
[05:24] <Nillerz> sudo su
[05:24] <STWeston> no. it's lynx
[05:24] <Nillerz> lynx
[05:24] <Nillerz> then get pissy and be like "LYNX!!!"
[05:24] <STWeston> LOL
[05:24] <amdpox> su -c sudo nohup lynx &
[05:24] <STWeston> ...
[05:24] <amdpox> DO IT]
[05:25] <STWeston> okay
[05:25] <STWeston> done... now what?
[05:25] <cody-somerville> ...
[05:25] <Nillerz> lynx
[05:25] <Nillerz> i dunno
[05:25] <STWeston> ...
[05:26] <Nillerz> ''\(o_O)/''
[05:26] <STWeston> should I just try a website?
[05:26] <Nillerz> ye
[05:26] <STWeston> okay. how do I do that, then?
[05:26] <STWeston> (please pardon my noobishness)
[05:26] <knome> ask #lynx
[05:26] <STWeston> thanks
[05:26] <Nillerz> So then I say "You call this a potato?"
[05:26] <paul928> lynx http://google.com
[05:26] <Nillerz> Then, get this: The hooker gave the money back.
[05:27] <knome> the big question is: will it blend?
[05:27] <Nillerz> A kitten? Easy.
[05:27] <saiki> NTFS = sda5 says it's mounted, ntfs-3g is installed, but it won't show up, why?
[05:27] <amdpox> I blended a blend-tec blender yesterday
[05:27] <amdpox> it was blendy
[05:27] <Nillerz> I didn't. It wasn't.
[05:28] <amdpox> saiki, more details?
[05:28] <Nillerz> how do u get flash in lynx i wan 2 watch utube
[05:28] <saiki> i don't have any more details
[05:29] <saiki> unless you got something specific you're looking for
[05:29] <Nillerz> So I was like "You call this a potato?" Then the hooker gave the money back!
[05:29] <amdpox> Nillerz, install libflash2ascii-lynx
[05:29] <STWeston> ...
[05:29] <amdpox> saiki, mount | grep sda5
[05:29] <Nillerz> o k thx it wokrd
[05:29] <STWeston> !ohmy | nillerz
[05:29] <Nillerz> phail.
[05:29] <STWeston> ?
[05:29] <STWeston> ...
[05:29] <NCommander> oh yay, the bot is dead
[05:29] <Nillerz> !ohmy | Nillerz
[05:29] <Nillerz> :O
[05:29] <STWeston> oh, duh.
[05:29] <Nillerz> :O
[05:30] <knome> STWeston, behave.
[05:30] <NCommander> Uh
[05:30] <NCommander> HEY!
[05:30] <NCommander> cody-somerville, YOU JUST BANNED ME!
[05:30] <knome> haha :]
[05:30] <knome> ->
[05:30] <STWeston> knome: how can I behave if I'm not doing anything bad?
[05:30] <cody-somerville> oops
[05:30] <NCommander> bah
[05:30] <amdpox> overzealous bans are fun
[05:31] <NCommander> That idiot was from Rochester?
[05:31] <saiki> lol
[05:31] <saiki> what didn't work btw
[05:31] <NCommander> I should reverse lookup his ass and find him
[05:31] <NCommander> There can't be that many Ubuntu users from here
[05:31] <STWeston> knome: besides. I'm a teenager. give me some slack.
[05:31]  * cody-somerville pokes NCommander back into the developer cage.
[05:31]  * NCommander bites cody-somerville's head off
[05:31] <NCommander> bahahahah
[05:33] <saiki> amdpox: that didn't work
[05:33] <amdpox> saiki, I wanted the output of that command
[05:33] <saiki> none
[05:34] <amdpox> uhh, it is sda5, yes?
[05:34] <saiki> saiki@saiki-desktop:~$ mount | grep sda5
[05:34] <saiki> saiki@saiki-desktop:~$ sudo mount | grep sda5
[05:34] <saiki> saiki@saiki-desktop:~$ mount | grep sda5
[05:34] <amdpox> no no no, you said the partition you mounted was sda5
[05:34] <amdpox> but it's not
[05:34] <saiki> has to be
[05:35] <saiki> it shows up as sda5
[05:35] <amdpox> shows up as sda5 where?
[05:35] <saiki> I have, oddly.. 5/6/7/8 sdf1
[05:35] <amdpox> logical partitions I'm guessing
[05:36] <amdpox> mount -t ntfs /dev/sda5 /some/directory
[05:36] <saiki> yea
[05:37] <saiki> saiki@saiki-desktop:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda5 /media/sda5
[05:37] <saiki> NTFS signature is missing.
[05:37] <saiki> Failed to mount '/dev/sda5': Invalid argument
[05:37] <saiki> The device '/dev/sda5' doesn't have a valid NTFS.
[05:37] <saiki> Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a
[05:37] <saiki> partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around?
[05:37] <saiki> saiki@saiki-desktop:~$
[05:38] <amdpox> So, it's not an NTFS partition
[05:39] <amdpox> what is it then?
[05:39] <STWeston> cody-somerville: the backlog goes back THAT far???
[05:39] <saiki> um.. it IS an ntfs system
[05:40] <saiki> but it's missing 4 partions so it looks
[05:40] <saiki> 1 is obvious, it's not any recognisable filesystem
[05:41] <saiki> how do you take a snapshot in xubutu?
[05:41] <saiki> xubuntu*
[05:42] <NCommander> saiki, snapshot tool
[05:42] <saiki> package name?
[05:42] <NCommander> Right click a panel, click add item, then snapshot
[05:42] <NCommander> it should be installed in base
[05:44] <saiki> thx NCommander
[05:44] <NCommander> np
[05:45] <saiki> amdpox: http://www.snapdrive.net/files/496157/Screenshot.png
[05:47] <amdpox> saiki, can you put the contents of /etc/fstab on a pastebin for me?
[05:47] <amdpox> I believe that information comes from fstab, not from the drive itself
[05:47] <saiki> sure can
[05:49] <saiki> http://pastebin.com/d7f0ed7ad
[05:49] <saiki> I have 2 ntfs partions, 2 drives
[05:50] <amdpox> oh, ok, interesting
[05:50] <saiki> sdf1 and should be another on sda
[05:50] <amdpox> odd
[05:51] <saiki> sdf = usb hd
[05:51] <amdpox> ok, so what's the issue agia?
[05:51] <amdpox> *again
[05:51] <saiki> internal Vista partion won't mount
[05:53] <NCommander> Oh, a rescue parition?
[05:57] <saiki> no
[05:57] <saiki> dualboot
[05:57] <saiki> well... triboot lol
[05:57] <saiki> oh wait..
[05:57] <saiki> will xubuntu 32bit NOT mount 64bit parions?
[05:58] <saiki> partions*
[05:58] <STWeston> I'd think
[05:59] <saiki> ?
[05:59] <STWeston> I'd think that would be the case
[06:00] <saiki> might be why it's not, but I don't see what difference 64 vs 32 bit makes on an external os
[06:00] <saiki> ie Vista on linux
[06:01] <STWeston> the architecture may be 64bit, therefore linux won't work unless on 64bit as well
[06:01] <STWeston> just speculation.
[06:02] <saiki> oh that blows
[06:02] <STWeston> yeah...
[06:02] <saiki> lucky for me, my usb was formatted on 32bit lol
[06:02] <STWeston> LOL
[06:02] <amdpox> uhhh
[06:03] <saiki> ?
[06:03] <amdpox> 64-bit architecture doesn't change the filesystem, does it !?
[06:03] <STWeston> I think so... maybe.
[06:03] <saiki> idk, but that's my only idea as to why it won't
[06:03] <STWeston> it's always a possibility.
[06:04] <saiki> where's the buntu devs when we need'em?
[06:04] <saiki> lol
[06:04] <STWeston> dunno.
[06:04] <fluxshell> i have a relatively long string i need to paste into terminal but for some reason right click isn't working, isn't there another way i thought i heard someone talking about here one day?
[06:04] <fluxshell> i just want to copy and paste to uninstall google earth
[06:05] <STWeston> this-a-way? (>")> that-a-way? <("<)
[06:05] <STWeston> LOL
[06:07] <saiki> ?
[06:08] <STWeston> it's an emoticon. <(")>
[06:08] <STWeston> kinda.

[06:09]  * amdpox slaps STWeston with a wet <(>_<)>
[06:09]  * STWeston does something back to amdpox
[06:10]  * amdpox gasps
[06:10]  * saiki grabs a 2x4 and wacks'em both
[06:10] <STWeston> well, that was nice, saiki.
[06:10] <amdpox> very nice.


[06:10] <saiki> solves the issue, does it not?
[06:10] <saiki> lol
[06:10] <STWeston> LOL
[06:11] <STWeston> gd pt.
[06:11] <amdpox> watch out, or i'll tell rms you use proprietary software
[06:11] <STWeston> LOL
[06:11] <saiki> rms?
[06:11] <STWeston> I just got the proprietary software part.
[06:12] <saiki> Nvidia, yea lol
[06:12] <STWeston> well, I AM on a Mac, right now...
[06:12] <STWeston> I'll admit that.
[06:12] <amdpox> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman
[06:12] <STWeston> hey! xubuntu is done!
[06:12] <STWeston> downloading... I think
[06:14] <STWeston> did'ja know that my computer's facing the wrong way right now?
[06:14] <STWeston> the CD-ROM drive and front end and stuff are facing the back of my desk.
[06:15] <saiki> lol
[06:15] <STWeston> I know. it's weird.
[06:18] <STWeston> whelp, I'm'a shut down.
[06:18] <STWeston> thanks, guys!
[06:18] <STWeston> for... whatever.
[06:22] <saiki> um.. just thought of this: Ubuntu (GNOME) would mount it, but xfe4 won't
[13:00] <j00bacca> (:-< sad jew
[13:01] <Myrtti> hmmm?
[13:43] <nnull> the secondary drive i had xubuntu on failed and now grub errors on boot not allowing me to boot to xp to try make space on another drive to install, how do i remove grub?
[13:43] <nnull> format my mbr?
[13:43] <nnull> or?
[13:52] <jarnos> nnull: Try e.g. Super grub disk or  fdisk /mbr in ms-dos to get xp.
[13:52] <nnull> i have got supergrub around somewhere but its on dvd i think lol :x
[13:53] <nnull> jarnosƺ can i get to ms-dos from the xp cd>
[13:54] <jarnos> nnull: maybe
[14:00] <jarnos> nnull: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/69013
[14:01] <nnull> ta
[14:14] <jarnos> nnull: Maybe you could install grub to a windows partition by an ubuntu live cd?
[14:15] <jarnos> nnull: stage 1 to mbr an other stuff to a windows partition.
[14:20] <nnull> i installed xubuntu on a faulty harddrive last night took like 5 hours heh
[14:20] <JinKazama> hi. how to set screensaver to ask for password before close?
[14:20] <nnull> but the pc is a p3 600 128ram
[14:21] <nnull> wasnt too bad was running 80 mem, 120 swap, but the cpu was spiking a bit
[14:34] <jarnos> nnull: Installing puppy-linux would have been faster but it is not the same thing and I am not sure how you get security updates to that.
[14:36] <jarnos> nnull: (X)ubuntu installation is not the fastest one.
[14:44] <march> Hi :) Does anyone know whom I can contact at canonical to get COF pics in good quality for our wiki?
[14:50] <TheSheep> COF?
[14:56] <nnull> jarnosƺ ive got the puppy live cd but mfg its annoying
[14:56] <nnull> scans ure whole filesystem for puppy files..
[14:56] <nnull> yes lets wait for that!
[14:58] <favro> nnull: there is #puppylinux...
[14:58] <nnull> favroƺ been there for 5+ hours
[14:58] <nnull> alot of chans on this network are there but arent there at the same time
[14:59] <favro> nnull: when you close puppy it will ask about making that file
[14:59] <nnull> favro, yea but i dont want to make/read any files i just wanna go in mount send and begone with it heh
[15:00] <favro> k
[15:00] <nnull> it takes it like 4mins to search my hdds for this file, which i dont need rather annoying
[15:00] <nnull> and i cant even find a way for it to stop it scanning
[15:00] <nnull> gives u 5 seconds to try read and input the commands and auto boots
[15:01] <nnull> ripped my cdrom drive out of it socket last night trying to get it to work
[15:01] <nnull> but i fixed it heh
[15:01] <nnull> RAGE X_X
[15:07] <march> TheSheep: Circle Of friends
[15:11] <march> http://crunchbang.org/uploads/050108100304-ubuntu-people-300-369.jpg e.g.
[15:50] <kriel> I just recently installed xubuntu on this laptop. It's relatively new (though it's a refurb) and has c2duo 1.86GHz; 3G RAM. However, programs are randomly hanging and music files can take as long as 10-20s to load. Any suggestions for where I might start troubleshooting?
[15:51] <TheSheep> kriel: see if dmesg shows any suspicious log messages
[15:53] <kriel> Nothing looks too suspicious to me; then again, my eyes aren't trained that well.
[15:56] <march> encrypted system kriel?
[15:57] <kriel> nope; just told the install disk to partition it on its own.
[16:00] <kriel__> Aaaand my GDM just hosed on itself. Did I miss anything?
[16:01] <kriel__> s/GDM/XFCE/
[16:09] <jarnos> Is it normal that writing in Firefox is pretty unresponsive occasionally?
[16:10] <TheSheep> no, unless you have some weird addons installed
[16:13] <knome> yes it is :P
[17:10] <IamInnocent> I need help with a shortcut
[17:10] <IamInnocent> something is intercepting Alt-right click
[17:10] <IamInnocent> and I don't know what.
[17:10] <IamInnocent> I looked everywhere in  the keyboart shortcuts
[17:11] <IamInnocent> and also I tried the shortcuts here and there
[17:11] <IamInnocent> hoping that something would pop-up
[17:11] <IamInnocent> to no avail
[17:11] <IamInnocent> This shortcut is the all important select loops in Blender
[17:12] <IamInnocent> I'd like to get it back
[17:12] <IamInnocent> Otherwise Xubuntu proves itself to be the fast OS I hoped for
[17:38] <Eeyore-Jr> hi.  i have a widescreen monitor and i need to change the reslotion in xubuntu to 10xx by 8xx
[17:55] <IamInnocent> All right I found it myself
[18:01] <Ahmuck> how do i change my resoltuion from 10xx by 7xx ?
[18:44] <bytor4232> Ahmuck: Open a terminal and run:  sudo displayconfig-gtk
