[00:00] its probably bad if your mouse and keyboard freeze also [00:00] We usually can't get our fingers out quick enough so it usually reboot.(It takes about two minutes to finally shut down.) [00:00] ah [00:00] Might it have something to do with the wireless part? [00:00] So, is an "Ms DOS console" a terminal? [00:00] i wouldnt expect the wireless to interfere with your mouse/ keyboard i/o [00:00] Foxkeh: not exactly, but it is pretty close [00:01] So, what is it? [00:01] well terminal is the msdos prompt equivalent in linux [00:01] I knew that, I only refer to a command prompt as a terminal. [00:01] So it's a command prompt? [00:02] yeah [00:02] So how do I figure out if I'm using an NTFS file system? [00:02] Ok. [00:03] so the alt+sysRq doesn't work for you at all? [00:03] Nope. Never. I think Alienkid once said he got it to work, but only once and I wasn't awake, I think. [00:03] What version of windows do you have? [00:03] XP. [00:03] home. [00:03] That is NTFS [00:03] Darn. [00:03] Foxkeh: I asked you a about 10 minutes ago to run the command 'mount' and post the output [00:04] You did? [00:04] Didn't see it. [00:04] why should ntfs make a difference. ubuntu is ntfs-friendly [00:04] mount will tell you exactly what, is what filesystem... you could also look at your /etc/fstab [00:05] Xikkub, 'cause if it wasn't I could fsck in Linux. [00:06] So just open a terminal and type mount? [00:06] you could use ntfs-progs [00:06] ya [00:06] or mount | pastebinit [00:06] then provide us with the url [00:08] How do I do "Mount | pastbinit"? I did the command "Mount pastebinit" not knowing if I should include "|" in it. [00:08] i feel like im on excstacy for some reason [00:08] yes, you need the | character. The | character is a way of telling mount to send all of its output to the command after the | [00:08] Xikkub: your coming down with a cold. [00:09] omg why? [00:09] in this case I want it to go to pastebinit, because that will allow you easily share the results with everyone [00:10] zoredache: is pastebinit installed by default? that is a seriously kick a$$ app. (If I it does what I think it does.) [00:10] if you get an error, about pastbinit not being found then run 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit' [00:11] durt: I forget it if is installed. it is easy to install see my previous message [00:11] :) micro-seconds apart [00:12] hello [00:12] !hi | kyoobeh [00:12] kyoobeh: Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! [00:13] pretty excited about getting xubuntu on this old laptop [00:13] lol, someone needs to add a little more to that factoid [00:13] durt, why? [00:14] that's the shortest bot response evar [00:14] heh [00:14] finally i got emacs wrkin [00:14] i luv emacs [00:15] xubuntu just got done installing on this old laptop, but whenever i go to try to load it, the loading bar and Xubuntu screen shows up, but soons it loads the screen just goes blank [00:15] vi for evar!! [00:15] lol vi omg [00:15] i cant stand it [00:15] !offtopic | durt [00:15] durt, please see my private message [00:16] kyoobeh: have you tried booting into safe mode? [00:16] i have, and everything says [ OK ] [00:17] from what i can tell, anyways.. [00:17] i'm doing a memory test right now [00:17] kyoobeh: ctrl-alt-F8 to follow the boot process. [00:17] man i wish i had a better laptop [00:17] kyoobeh: how much memory do you have? [00:17] its showing on the screen right now [00:17] Memor: 120M [00:18] i'm guessing that this isn't enough :P [00:18] ouch [00:18] kyoobeh, too little. [00:18] cpu? [00:18] it should be enough [00:18] 800.1 MHz [00:18] its below recommended but its above the minimum [00:18] ahhh [00:18] kyoobeh, 192 is the *min* for *running* xubuntu. [00:18] lol, this is an ooooold laptop [00:18] ahh, i see.. [00:18] oh apparently the article i got is outdated [00:19] Xikkub, can you link me into it? [00:19] !lowmem | kyoobeh [00:19] kyoobeh: For installing on low memory systems, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements. [00:19] oooh, thank you zoredache [00:19] oh i cant remember where it is [00:19] hrm... the urls are broke... [00:19] kyoobeh: google U-lite for an unsupported ubuntu derived install that might work better on 128 meg [00:19] i probably saw it years ago and didnt bother to look it up again [00:21] zoredache: the urls aren't broke, you just aren't suppose to include the trailing period [00:21] doh! [00:21] V-Lite eh [00:21] Well, nevermind, according to Charlie I've got NTFS and when I go to the bathroom obviously too much pops up, I'm just gonna trust Charlie on this. [00:21] U-lite [00:21] Thanks. [00:21] U [00:21] (just installed mIRC) [00:22] its that UGLY ass text that they use as default... [00:22] on linux ?!? [00:22] any c programmers know if system("pause") can send commands to ubuntu terminal [00:22] i like icechat [00:22] its cleaners and freer [00:22] no no no, i'm on my desktop right now... booted into XP as we speak.. [00:22] what do you mean send commands to the terminal? 'pause' isn't a command btw [00:22] blasphemy, i'm sorry ;[ [00:23] I wish there was a linux port of mIRC [00:23] durt: why? [00:24] u could always make an irc client [00:24] I remeber it as a really decent app [00:24] if you are asking if you can use the internal commands from a shell you could do system("bash -c \"internalcmd\" ") or something to that effect [00:24] ok ty [00:24] durt, do you know of any u-lite torrents? [00:24] yeah wasnt shure if it needed to use winapi or not [00:25] hi all, got a question. I tried setting up my wireless with iwconfig, but i'd always fail setting the keys and some googling , i think its the RTL8187 driver. Anyhow, why does it work with xubuntu's nw-applet? [00:25] Foxkeh: don't trust, find out for certain [00:25] is that the TEW-424UB? [00:25] kyoobeh: no, sorry. But you should read up on it before you decide to use it. [00:25] sowdog: is that the TEW-424UB? [00:25] ok [00:25] kyoobeh: very specific install instructions [00:26] yeah, was looking them over just now [00:26] Xikkub, I've no idea what is the TEW-424UB [00:26] the driver [00:26] what is the network card you are using [00:26] won't be able to get xubuntu to run on this laptop, it seems [00:26] so i'll just have to look at other options [00:26] sowdog: what is the network card you are using [00:26] kyoobeh: I suspect I would look at something like DSL [00:27] sowdog ill pm you [00:27] hello. I was wondering if someone could help me with my resolution problem. Here is the thread I just made for it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6764890#post6764890 [00:27] Xikkub, it's a wireless USB card. I think the drivers are RTL8187 [00:27] zoredache: I'll google it [00:27] Ok, Charlie, so what do I look for in "Mount" [00:27] ? === keffie_jayx is now known as effie_jayx [00:28] kyoobeh: I'm using it on a PII 96meg old toshy satelite, aside from a gecko (mozilla) based browser that eats mem like pacman. It's fairly mem/cpu footprint light. [00:28] kyoobeh: DSL is good also puppy linux [00:30] DSL seems pretty cool, I wish i didn't use my last CD-r just now lol [00:30] anyone use joomla here? [00:30] just curious [00:30] when you guys arent busy can someone please tell me how to change the login screen resolution [00:31] I tried editing the xorg.conf, but the file is blank. [00:31] Jaredster: just the login screen? [00:31] Jaredster: that's kind of strange [00:31] well, the login screen stays at 1280x1024, which isnt compatible with my tv [00:32] but the xfce I was able to change to 1024x768 [00:32] want me to open an ssh? [00:32] * Mood goes Huh? [00:32] join #wings3d [00:32] Jaredster: not sure if GDM uses xorg.conf, but xorg now autoconfigures itself, and then parses xorg.conf for customized settings [00:32] How do you join an irc? [00:32] Foxkeh: type /join [00:32] Foxkeh, /j wings3d [00:33] or /join [00:33] Ok. [00:33] Foxkeh: look for a line line /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro) [00:33] its weird though, I cant change the login screen resolution [00:33] where it says ext3, what have you got? [00:33] durt, how would I reconfigure it then? [00:33] so it can only do 1024x768 [00:33] am i going to want to download dsl-4.4.10.iso ? [00:34] to burn it to a CD [00:34] Jaredster: get an old template of xorg.conf and edit it. [00:34] or dsl-4.4.10-initrd.iso ? [00:34] probably just the standard one... [00:34] can I use any template? [00:34] Charlie-tca: Ok. I'll show you what it says. [00:34] kyoobeh: the initrd will need more memory [00:35] copy and paste it to pastebin [00:35] !pastebin [00:35] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [00:35] Jaredster: hold on a sec lemme check /usr/share/docs... [00:35] ok thanks [00:35] ok, thanks Zoredache [00:36] this distro looks to be helpful [00:36] charlie-tca: This is the first "ext3" I found. "/host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)" [00:37] I'll be back, gonna go buy some CD-r's [00:37] you have other types in there [00:37] then i'm going to try out DSL :P [00:38] ? [00:38] Foxkeh: can you copy and paste that whole thing to pastebin? [00:38] damn small linux [00:38] anybody a c\c++ programmer here?

[00:40] Foxkeh: which filesystem is it complaining about? [00:41] you should be able to run fsck -y /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk when you are booted into safe mode [00:42] anybody experimented with backtrack at all [00:42] So now do I have to give the link to the pastebin url? [00:42] im having an issue with my theme and firefox. when i use the Xfce-dusk theme i cant see the website addres in the address bar on firefox. [00:43] Does it happen if you close and reopen Firefox? [00:43] yea its white on white [00:44] so i cant read it unless i highlight it [00:44] That usually fixes my search bar and address bar when they stop working. [00:44] Go into "Edit>Prefferences" and see if something's in there on it. [00:44] its working... its not that. its a color issue. [00:44] i did i tried changing colors [00:44] it doesnt work on that part of firefox tho [00:45] Huh? [00:45] What do you mean" Didn't work on that part of firefox"? [00:46] it doesnt affect the address bar when i change the font color or background color. [00:46] sudo apt-get install firefox XD [00:46] so guys ho [00:46] w'd his proplem go(Foxkeh's) [00:46] his comp apparently cant handle it [00:47] what? [00:47] can't handle what? So what we gonna do? [00:47] Foxkeh, alienkid: maybe ask #ubuntu because nobody seems to be able to help here [00:47] So, how's pastebin work? [00:48] You go to the URL given, paste your information there, then give us the URL it tells you [00:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/120375/ [00:48] I told him [00:48] I'll go cheek #ubuntu [00:49] Then you do what zoredache said; [00:49] you should be able to run fsck -y /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk when you are booted into safe mode [00:49] Ok. [00:49] But what, Windows safe mode? [00:51] no, you need to do it in linux. From the boot from ubuntu menu, after it starts, hit ESC and then choose recovery mode [00:51] Oh. But you can't tpye in terminal there, can you? It's got an "fsck" option. [00:51] then what root terminal? [00:51] But you can't type. [00:52] Yes, root [00:52] Ok, I'll leave my brother to do that when it happens. [00:52] What has an "fsck" option? [00:52] He's the nerd, afterall. [00:52] In recovery the little gui thing. [00:52] I have a question, Charlie, how long have you been using Linux? [00:53] since 2005 [00:53] Charlie should I tune2fs from there to up the mount count on it? [00:53] I started with Ubuntu 5.04 [00:53] *could [00:53] Wow. [00:53] Red Hat FTW [00:53] No, Ubuntu.

[00:54] :P [00:54] alienkid: I think you have to use "fsck -y /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk" [00:55] what's the #xubuntu bot? [00:55] !bot [00:55] Oh, alienkid.

[00:55] oh yrsh.... any other bots? [00:55] yes [00:55] well there us ubuntulog, but he is pretty much silent [00:56] ok thanks [00:56] Mood, people sometimes have thought i'm one.

That's why I'm switching. === Xikkub is now known as Xikkub[A] [01:31] * Xikkub[A] is now away - Reason : cuz i *u** want to [01:33] Jaredster:well take a look at 'man xorg.conf' to re-familiarize yourself with the structure and googling xorg.conf will give you a good idea of what you need to put in the thing. It can be video card and monitor specific. [01:33] I tried to make one, but it didn't work. [01:33] I'm going to install the beta and see if that fixes it [01:34] beta of what? [01:34] ubuntu [01:34] there's a beta out? already? [01:34] http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ [01:34] err alpha [01:34] >_> [01:35] this problem completely disables the entire computer for me [01:35] I also tried making my own xorg.conf, but it gave me errors and reverted to the old version. [01:35] um, I'm running jaunty on my desktop and today was a baaaaaad day for alpha testers. [01:35] maybe I did something wrong. [01:35] why's that? [01:36] GDM got nuked and fixed in a span of a few hours [01:36] if thats the type of thing you wish to deal with [01:37] stick with 8.10 and work on a solution. [01:37] ok [01:39] installing DSL now [01:39] that took like 5 minutes, hahaha [01:40] I think you can still run DSL in ram, with 128 meg if I'm not mistaken? [01:41] ya i think so [01:41] ya, 800 MHz is gonna be fast, why not get more ram for the thing? [01:41] eh, i could === Xikkub[A] is now known as Xikkub [01:41] * Xikkub is no longer away : Gone for 10 minutes 4 seconds [01:42] but that costs me moneys :P [01:42] maybe i will soon [01:42] dunno how easy it'd be to put ram into this lappy though [01:42] ram is pretty cheap tho [01:43] not if it's older ram, ie. PC333 [01:43] if you can find it [01:43] ahhhh yeah i forgot about that [01:43] old tings are so expensive [01:43] this thing runs like butter on DSL..
