pc-illiteratewant to set up a dual boot but i cant :(00:28
pc-illiteratenew psu....used mobo....everything else worked fine in (dont laugh) dell system00:30
pc-illiteratealso new used cpu..... mixed mem manufactureers00:31

SiDiI kinda dont understand :/00:33
pc-illiteratedoes dell put a something in their hdd to only work with dell mobo ? its pissing me off i cant install an os00:33
pc-illiterateok....00:33
SiDiwhat is micro xp ?00:33
pc-illiterateafter post.....press any key to boot from cd...i do that...then it says ' analysing system config' and then screen goes black00:34
SiDi"<pc-illiterate> i try to boot from cd to install micro xp" what CD, and what is micro xp ?00:34
pc-illiterateits a stripped down version of microjunk xp pro00:34
SiDiand what the hell is microjunk xp pro ? :/00:34
pc-illiteratelol. microsoft00:34
pc-illiteratei see.... no winblows mentioning in here ?00:35
SiDiIts not that00:35
SiDithat microjunk xp pro, correct me if i'm wrong00:35
SiDiIt's completely illegal, right ?00:36
pc-illiterateno idea. i use a legal key but its missing all bloatware00:36
pc-illiteratesuper fast...great for gaming00:36
pc-illiteratei have 11 processes running instead of the usual 20+00:37
SiDiI suggest you read : http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#unlawful00:37
SiDiThe guys at ##windows channel should be able to say if this is legal or not, but i highly doubt it.00:37
SiDiAlso, this channel is for xubuntu support, not for windows installations support (thats in ##windows too)00:37
pc-illiterateok then. thanks anyway00:38
pc-illiteratewell i cant install any OS...thought i could find some help00:38
SiDiNot for something that is blatently not legal :]00:38
pc-illiteratemy key....should be totally legal00:39
SiDiDid you ever read Microsoft Windows's EULA ?00:39
pc-illiteratelike anyone does00:39
SiDiYou're kinda not allowed to modify / distribute it. And the guys there, unless it comes from microsoft.com, are not allowed to distribute it. So it is illegal00:39
SiDiI don't read EULAs. I refuse them as they pop up, and i get the software reimbursed, when i have to read an EULA.00:40
pc-illiteratewell sidi... have a good weekend00:40

cs_1032Hello! I have installed Xubuntu 9.04 and managed to automount my second partition to /media/sda5 with the help of pysdm. But it's "read only"... :-/ How to fix that?10:06
SiDiyou're welcome themad10:06
SiDics_1032, you should use /etc/fstab for auto mounting10:06
SiDishow me how your fstab is at the moment, cs_103210:06
csongor_the relevant line is10:08
csongor_SiDi: "/dev/sda5                                  /media/sda5     vfat         defaults                    0  0  "10:08
SiDiI see, its a vfat10:08
csongor_yes VFAT10:08
SiDiby default i think only the user with UUID 0 (ie. the root user) has write rights10:08
csongor_yes, the root can write10:09
SiDitry to replace default by user,auto,rw,exec10:10
SiDiif really it doesnt let you write with that, i wont be able to help :) no vfat partition under hand10:10

chris_debianHi, all.  I booted my PC this morning and my sound has died. I've checked the mixer settings and the physical speaker connection.  Anyone know why it may have just "dropped-out"?16:05
SiDiHi chris_debian16:08
SiDiDid you install GNOME/KDE/any PulseAudio depending application the last time you used your computer ?16:09
SiDiDid you change the langage of your desktop during last session ?16:09
SiDiDo you mind checking if pulseaudio is running with "ps aux | grep pulseaudio" ?16:09
The-KernelSiDi I noticed that pulseaudio is running on my system....16:11
The-Kernelbut I use ALSA16:11
SiDiXubuntu runs very well with pulseaudio purged :)16:12
SiDiI had trouble with jaunty + pulse installed by ubuntu-desktop, it wouldn't let me control my volume when not using PA16:12
sTEPPZORhey mates.. i seem to have a problem and hopes that someone here could help me. Im having issus tying to get static ip on eth016:13
SiDiHello sTEPPZOR16:14
sTEPPZORhi16:14
SiDiDo you try to do it via /etc/network/interfaces or via the graphical user interface ?16:14
sTEPPZORetc/network..16:14
chris_debianSiDi: Sorry for the delay.  Was the Pulseaudio question for me/16:15
SiDichris_debian, yes16:15
SiDisTEPPZOR, alright16:15
sTEPPZORive stopped the network service.. nano /etc/network/interfaces.. and auto eth0, iface eth0 inet static, address and so16:16
chris_debianPulseaudio is running, but I also have ALSA. I've heard bad things about PA.16:16
sTEPPZORand then starte network service again but still notinh16:16
chris_debianSiDi: Is PA a dependency, could I try to remove it?16:17
SiDisTEPPZOR, http://paste.ubuntu.com/185022/16:17
SiDisTEPPZOR, change the IPs to what you need, then sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart and tell me the output please16:17
SiDichris_debian, you can safely remove it ;)16:17
chris_debianPhew.  I used to have a Gnome based system, maybe that's why it's still here. I wondered why it's suddenly causing issues.  Removing.....2 secs....16:18
SiDiits auto started by GNOME apps like Totem, if installed16:18
SiDiand then it can mislead some apps, especially those who were already running and using sound via the alsasink of Gstreamer16:19
sTEPPZORhmm16:19
chris_debianSiDi: Removing, as we speak.  Do I need to do anything to ALSA to make it happy, again?16:19
SiDichris_debian, install xubuntu-restricted-extras16:19
SiDiit contains extra codecs that you might need16:20
chris_debianCheers, SiDi. will do.16:20
SiDiapart from that, just give it chocolate, flowers, travels to paris, the usual stuff16:20
sTEPPZORWARNING: ifup -a is disabled in favour of NetworkManager. Set ifupdown:managed=false in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-setting.conf16:20
SiDisTEPPZOR, you may have to manually shutdown network manager16:20
sTEPPZORokey?16:20
SiDisTEPPZOR, on next boot, it shouldnt start since your /etc/network/interfaces will not be default16:21
chris_debianSiDi: If I install xubuntu-restricted-extras, Pulse is a dependency.16:21
sTEPPZORokey.. so ill just restart the comp and thats it?16:21
SiDichris_debian, oh, really ? :| install ffmpeg and gstreamer0.10 "bad" and "ugly" plugins then :)16:22
SiDisTEPPZOR, normally yes16:22
sTEPPZORokey16:22
chris_debianI HAVE SOUND!!!! Bloody Pulseaudio!16:22
sTEPPZORas i recall after som few hours now ive allready done that but still wont let me have static ip.. but ill try rebooting again16:23
chris_debianCheers, SiDi16:23
SiDichris_debian, you're welcome ;)16:24
chris_debianTop man!16:24
sTEPPZORokey.. its wierd now with static ip but now my wierless inet wont work?16:25
SiDisTEPPZOR, if you also have a wireless network you should put it in interfaces too16:27
sTEPPZORahh okey..  the thing is i want to share my wireless inet connection trough eth0 using firestarter16:27
sTEPPZORknow how to do that?:P16:28
sTEPPZORno help there?16:34
SiDihm16:36
sTEPPZORim getting ann error when starting it.. "Warning: Could not determine new DNS settings for DHCP, Keeping old configuration, Failed to start DHCP server"16:36
SiDiIf you want to use eth + wlan at the same time, its over my knowledge :p16:36
SiDiYou should try #ubuntu, its exactly the same stuff for network16:37
sTEPPZORtried there.. no one answers me :(16:37
sTEPPZOR:P16:37
SiDiWell, i dont know firestarter and iptables at all so.. :P16:38
SiDiBut you can check the wiki for how to connect to wifi via /etc/network/interfaces16:38
SiDiif you always use the same wifi access point it'll do the trick, and you'll only have the routing issues to solve16:39
SiDias for the DHCP server, you dont need any on your machine if you use static IPs16:39
sTEPPZORWell wifi trough DHCP works16:39
SiDiand you can set the machines connected to yours to use OpenDNS to avoid having a DNS configuration headache16:39
sTEPPZORthen i want to share that connection with eth0 to a local network16:39
sTEPPZORbut the program gives me a DNS error16:39
sTEPPZORive now shared the connection from wlan0 to eth0 and about to try on my local computer to get from the shared connection.. but since im not running a DHCP server? what settings and so on do i need? what is the gateway and so one?16:48
sTEPPZORhmm it says local only :(16:50
sTEPPZORi thought firestarter came with a DHCP server? or am i wrong?16:53
sTEPPZORwhat is the default setting for eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces? i cant remember16:56
Jollinohello all, i'm trying to get the latest xubuntu to correctly use the screen on a hercules ecafe netbook. the screen is 800x480, and by default xubuntu uses 800x600 (with the bottom 120 pixels not being visible, but things still 'go there'). i created a 800x480 modeline with cvt/gcf and gave it to xrandr, but it keeps using the 'extra' screen too. is there a way to tell it "the screen ends here"? :D17:02
anom01yanyone know how to configure a printer that is shared from a Mircorost XP computer (host) ?17:05
anom01yI have tried the cups configuration (127.0.0.1:631), and added a MS shared printer there, when asked for the device URL I tried smb://computername/printersharename   but nothing seems to work.17:06
sTEPPZOR127.0.0.1 is local host?17:07
anom01yI have even tried smb://ipaddress/printersharename   and that doesnt work.17:07
anom01yyes17:07
sTEPPZORyou cant use 127.0.0.117:07
anom01ysTEPPZOR, it works   127.0.0.1:631  =   localhost:63117:07
sTEPPZORhmm okei17:09
anom01ysTEPPZOR, I also had this same shared printer working prior to completely upgrading my Linux box, but since I've lost everytthin I can17:09
anom01y't remember the address for the printer, or how I configured it.17:09
anom01yI know it works because I just set up another windows XP computer on this same printer (wirelessely)17:10
sTEPPZORwell cant you just check the windows computer and find the adress for the network printer there?17:10
anom01yits \\semplehome\Printer17:11
anom01ybut windows uses the \\ format;17:11
sTEPPZORdammit.. now it says my eth0 isnt ready. Aborting.. im getting tierd of this now17:13
sTEPPZOR*banging my head aginst the wall*17:16
anom01yI forgot file/printer sharing is port 13917:17
anom01yI think thats my solution brb17:17
sTEPPZORait17:17
SiDiJollino, if you _only_ put your mode in xorg.conf, it should use it , afaik17:20
sTEPPZORwell i be dammned.. it worked :P17:22
sTEPPZORDARRRH17:23
sTEPPZORim getting pissed off17:24
SiDisTEPPZOR, you should ask in #ubuntu, really :] Or at worse post on the forum with a detailled explanation of what you want to do17:26
