[00:35] Hello, I'm looking for a netinst kernel/initrd [00:35] Or an ISO I can extract said items from [00:43] Oh, it seems like it was on the alternate ISO [00:43] I'll check if it works [02:52] hello all [02:53] is anyone available to help me setup samba? i'm failing at it miserably [02:57] Rapture2k4 What's the issue you're having? [03:38] saluton [03:42] mornin' [03:50] happy new year! [03:51] yup [03:54] how can I get xfce 4.4.3 in xubuntu 8.04_ [03:54] ? [03:55] source: what version of Xfce came with it? [03:57] xfce 4.4.2 [03:59] what does "sudo apt-get update" get you? [04:04] that's no update to xfce 4.4.3 [04:04] do you have xubuntu? [04:11] Yes [04:11] What does .3 have that .2 doesn't? [04:17] ball, http://www.xfce.org/documentation/changelogs/4.4.3 [04:19] I don't know then. Presumably Xubuntu has a maintainer [04:19] You could ask him or her. [05:02] i changed my cdrom out for a dvd burner...how do i make linux see it? [05:02] vidd: isn't it automatic? [05:03] it would appear not [05:03] =\ [05:03] vidd: can the drive do DVD-RAM? [05:04] the new one can....the old could not [05:04] the old was cust cdrom [05:04] * ball nods [05:04] *just [05:04] Di you have a DVD-RAM disc? [05:04] i have a dvd [05:05] Ah, you want to play it? [05:05] but even old cd's that pl,ayed in the old drive wont mount in this one [05:06] vidd: does it have power? [05:07] yes....it will load and run an install disk...but i dont want to re-install [05:07] vidd: that's a good sign. [05:08] i assume i need to change fstab [05:08] vidd: I doubt it [05:08] but i dont know alot about it.... [05:08] vidd: what kind of disc are you trying to use? [05:08] this is the line from fstab: [05:08] DVD-Video? [05:08] /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [05:09] any disk...none will load from inside linux [05:09] vidd: what mount command are you using? [05:10] b4 i changed the hardware, i didnt need to run any mount commands [05:10] the disk would be auto-detected by my file manager [05:11] vidd: what kind of discs? [05:11] cd, cdrw would auto load on old hardware....nothing loads on new hardware [05:12] you've tried DVD-ROMs? [05:12] right now i put the install disk that i know the drive can read because it booted [05:13] Perhaps Linux just hates it. [05:13] the old hardware could not read dvd's [05:13] Yes, you said that already [05:13] so i need to know how to tell linux "the hardware has changed" [05:13] vidd: I doubt that [05:14] Linux probably doesn't care. [05:14] ...especially with something as standard as an optical drive [05:14] it obviously DOES care, otherwise the disk would have loaded [05:15] vidd: okay, if that's what you want to believe. [05:15] * ball shrugs [05:17] i put the old drive back in and it worked [06:18] hi everybody! [06:19] happy new year [06:19] :P === sinister- is now known as Sinister [08:07] evrytime i update my system on eeexubuntu it breaks my wifi [09:05] hi! [09:09] source: hi [09:15] :P [11:41] <|ntegra|> wow, quiet [15:06] <_Aldur> Is nvidia drviver and xubuntu 8.10 still a problem? [15:12] _Aldur, I believe if you use an old video card then the driver isn't available [15:12] _Aldur, I suppose you could try popping in an 8.10 CD and see whether the driver is available through the Hardware Drivers application [15:13] _Aldur, oh, btw, that's Nvidia's official drivers, open source drivers *are* available but they don't support e.g. compositing, so you won't be able to run Compiz with that [15:15] <_Aldur> thanks vinnl! [15:15] yw :) [15:44] Anybody know a good C/C++ IDE? [15:47] theking: vim [15:48] I despise vim. [15:48] theking: then emacs [15:49] theking: also eclipse, netbeans, kdevelop, anjuta, etc. [15:49] Oh shit, I forgot about eclipse [15:49] lol [15:50] theking: please don't swear [15:50] k. [15:54] geany [18:40] Hey, how do I start xmms after having installed it? i've rebooted after installing it and it does not show up under applications. running just xmms2 in terminal gives me a list of commands to use, none of which seem to be the one i am looking for.

I need to simplify the system as much as possible, a long with locking it down settings wise [23:10] I am used to gnome, not xfce4, is there a way to lock the panels?

Version 2.22.1-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 120 kB, installed size 3052 kB [23:19] grandmaneedshelp: take a look at sabayon ^ [23:19] it is for gnome..
