| blkdg | hi, i have a PPC G3 iMac, and i installed Xubuntu 9.04 ALTERNATE on it. when it starts, i have to hold down ctrl, command and f1 for it to actually boot. i have to do this each time. when i looked around at my xorg.conf, i found it empty, how can i fill the xorg.conf file? | 01:00 |
| blkdg | i also added ide-disk to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and ran sudo update-initramfs -u | 01:01 |
| blkdg | i also added append="quiet splash video=radeonfb:1024x768" to /etc/yaboot.conf and ran sudo ybin -v | 01:02 |
| blkdg | these were fixes in the faq | 01:03 |
| blkdg | and after each one, i tried to reboot, but had to hold down that key combo | 01:04 |
| blkdg | i read about that combo here http://www.yellowjug.com/how-to/xubuntu-linux-on-imac-g3/ | 01:04 |
| blkdg | but i don't know what to do to fix my xorg.conf problem | 01:04 |
| blkdg | thanks anyhow | 01:18 |

| eido | is anyone familiar with ftp? i wanted to create a folder with sub folders for each user and give them full access to only their folder but do not see how to do this. | 02:28 |
| eido | i was hoping to have just one main folder instead of everyone being in their ~ directory | 02:28 |

| likemindead | Anyone? | 06:14 |
| _Pete_ | Balsaq: sometimes? | 06:18 |
| Balsaq | available to answer a cfew questions Pete | 06:19 |
| Balsaq | _Pete_ i am going to try to load xubuntu on a computer this week was wondering if it loads like ubuntu did...which is my only experience with linux stuff. this puter will be 2.0gz 40 g hd 512 rdram | 06:22 |
| _Pete_ | Balsaq: do you mean the computer currently have ubuntu installed? | 06:23 |
| Balsaq | wondering if after i load if everything works, meaning, sound, printer and internet connection, like i did with buntu | 06:23 |
| Balsaq | no they are giving me 6 tuesday or wed...wil be 5 dell dim 8250's and 1 8200 | 06:24 |
| Balsaq | i printed the spec so i know what they will be now...prolly 2.0-3.0g 40hd and 512 rdram | 06:24 |
| Balsaq | o from2002 era i think | 06:25 |
| Balsaq | business towers | 06:25 |
| Balsaq | my really old 1998 dell has the ubuntu | 06:25 |
| Balsaq | technically thats the one that need xfce but until i grt better i will experiment with they big business things cause the 1998 dellruns ok | 06:26 |
| Balsaq | to me it sem slike the xubu should go in just the same right? as far as finding the net and all? | 06:27 |
| _Pete_ | yes | 06:27 |
| Balsaq | how about sound and printer...basics? does it have the software ti find those things too on its own? | 06:28 |
| _Pete_ | sound yes, printer dont know, never owner one | 06:29 |
| Balsaq | well this will be fun then because ive never run buntu in anything execpt the 400mgz dell and its gotta be up to its wazoo with a fullubuntu install on it | 06:31 |
| Balsaq | can wait to watch it go on 2 or ghz | 06:31 |
| Balsaq | no w isee the xubuntu disc i have is going to be outdated any day....no biggie | 06:36 |

| sodium | whats is fstab | 11:17 |
| sodium | i am mounting my ntfs drives but i shows me warnings | 11:18 |
| sodium | :( | 11:18 |
| ablomen | sodium, fstab (/etc/fstab) is a file that contains what to do with internal/external media, where to mount drives etc | 11:18 |
| ablomen | !fstab | 11:18 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 11:18 |
| sodium | ok but how can i mountt drives | 11:19 |
| sodium | my disk mounter only mounts my flash drive | 11:19 |
| sodium | !diskmount | 11:20 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about diskmount | 11:20 |
| sodium | !mount | 11:20 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 11:20 |
| sodium | mount: you must specify the filesystem type | 11:23 |

| AncientSocrates | hi | 11:33 |
| AncientSocrates | is xubuntu faster than freebsd? | 11:33 |
| _Pete_ | doing what? | 11:35 |
| AncientSocrates | simple things | 11:36 |
| AncientSocrates | using the file manager | 11:36 |
| AncientSocrates | surfing the net | 11:36 |
| AncientSocrates | using multimedia | 11:36 |
| _Pete_ | maybe these can give you some hints: http://www.google.fi/search?q=linux+vs+freebsd+benchmark | 11:37 |
| _Pete_ | But doing those,I doubt if there is any difference it's small | 11:38 |
| _Pete_ | http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=pcbsd_vs_kubuntu&num=1 | 11:39 |
| AncientSocrates | ok | 11:43 |
| AncientSocrates | pete | 11:43 |
| AncientSocrates | a lot of people prefer debian | 11:44 |
| AncientSocrates | over *ubuntu | 11:44 |
| AncientSocrates | why? | 11:44 |
| _Pete_ | it said to be more stable | 11:44 |
| nikolam | AncientSocrates, a lot software available, a lot of users > good community support | 11:45 |
| nikolam | for both ubuntu and debian | 11:45 |
| AncientSocrates | _Pete_ : by more stable you mean they use older software | 11:45 |
| nikolam | debian works on every thinkable cpu/hardware platform imaginable | 11:45 |
| AncientSocrates | thant ubuntu | 11:45 |
| nikolam | I prefer saying stable. | 11:45 |
| nikolam | ubuntu both have LTS (Like Debian releases) and newer stable releases | 11:46 |
| AncientSocrates | i am now usin xubuntu beta | 11:46 |
| nikolam | it depends what you need | 11:46 |
| AncientSocrates | i think they update and fix any bugs very fast | 11:46 |
| nikolam | beta is for testing etc | 11:46 |
| nikolam | but you can use it and upgrade to released version in fly | 11:47 |
| nikolam | when it is released | 11:47 |
| nikolam | I always suggest to new users, latest stable release | 11:47 |
| AncientSocrates | i used fedora in the pat | 11:48 |
| AncientSocrates | past | 11:48 |
| AncientSocrates | the beta | 11:48 |
| AncientSocrates | i had some problems | 11:48 |
| AncientSocrates | but not much | 11:48 |
| nikolam | AncientSocrates, what are your needs, what is that you need, will reflect what you should use | 11:49 |
| nikolam | I started with xubuntu on olda P3 machine 2 years ago. And I fall in love with Xfce and now running Xubuntu 64-bit | 11:49 |
| nikolam | also, after chaising multiple stable releases and upgrading, | 11:50 |
| AncientSocrates | cool | 11:50 |
| nikolam | i settled on latest LTS | 11:50 |
| nikolam | And I am waiting next LTS. | 11:50 |
| nikolam | And I install newest progrmas on LTS | 11:51 |
| AncientSocrates | actually i have an old pc | 11:51 |
| AncientSocrates | that i use rarely to store data | 11:51 |
| nikolam | but I say again, for new user, latest stable is what i recommend, since you can post bug reports then | 11:51 |
| nikolam | oh, what is conf. you are yusing now and what is conf of that old pc? | 11:52 |
| AncientSocrates | 48 giga hdd, nvidia 5200fx gpu, 512 sd ram, 2,3 ghz 1 core cpu | 11:52 |
| nikolam | that is nice machine | 11:52 |
| nikolam | seems that xubuntu flies on that | 11:53 |
| AncientSocrates | yes i use it rarely | 11:53 |
| AncientSocrates | to store stuff to my second hdd | 11:53 |
| AncientSocrates | or multimedia | 11:53 |
| AncientSocrates | or anyway something simple | 11:53 |
| nikolam | ok, I got to go to do some stuff, tak care! | 11:54 |
| AncientSocrates | and i want it to run fast] | 11:54 |
| AncientSocrates | use debian & icewm as window manager and stay cool | 11:54 |
| AncientSocrates | someone from ##linux told me to use that on it | 11:54 |
| AncientSocrates | would it be faster? | 11:54 |
| nikolam | AncientSocrates, also try lxde, it IS fast | 11:54 |
| nikolam | and low-memory footprint | 11:54 |
| nikolam | but with machine you have, all desktop env. will work just great | 11:55 |
| AncientSocrates | is lxde lighter than xfce? | 11:55 |
| nikolam | it is just my thinking that i like Xfce the best and also I can use Gnome applets for panels in it :) | 11:55 |
| nikolam | yes, lxde is like, for very small memory machines | 11:56 |
| AncientSocrates | ok thanks for the info | 11:56 |
| nikolam | I think there is even new ubuntu spin-off with lxde | 11:56 |
| nikolam | ok, buy | 11:56 |
| AncientSocrates | hi | 12:26 |
| AncientSocrates | i use xubuntu 9.10 beta | 12:26 |
| AncientSocrates | when i open a window | 12:26 |
| AncientSocrates | lets say my home folder | 12:26 |
| AncientSocrates | the window is stuck in the upper left corner | 12:26 |
| AncientSocrates | i cant move it and there is no X button | 12:27 |
| AncientSocrates | is this normal? | 12:27 |
| AncientSocrates | or a bug | 12:28 |
| ablomen | AncientSocrates, no windowmanager, press alt+f2 and type xfwm4 | 12:32 |
| AncientSocrates | ok it worked | 12:38 |
| AncientSocrates | where can i find and mount my secondary ntfs hdd? | 12:38 |
| ablomen | AncientSocrates, run sudo fdisk -l | 12:40 |
| ablomen | see what device has ntfs as filesystem (need the /dev/sd* part), create a directory to mount it to (for example, sudo mkdir /media/windows) and then mount it (for example sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /media/windows) | 12:42 |
| AncientSocrates | so every time | 13:11 |
| AncientSocrates | i have to load xfwm4? | 13:12 |
| ablomen | ehm no you should not have to | 13:12 |
| ablomen | if you do, something is wrong with your session.. | 13:13 |
| _Pete_ | excellent, https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty | 13:23 |
| AncientSocrates | ok | 14:16 |
| AncientSocrates | done | 14:16 |
| AncientSocrates | i have another problem with xubuntu 9.10\ | 14:16 |
| AncientSocrates | when it boots up | 14:16 |
| AncientSocrates | it says | 14:16 |
| AncientSocrates | acpi resource error | 14:16 |
| AncientSocrates | conflicts with acpi rprg | 14:16 |
| AncientSocrates | something like that | 14:16 |
| AncientSocrates | any idea? | 14:19 |
| knome | AncientSocrates, xubuntu 9.10 is still under development, please file a bug | 14:25 |
| AncientSocrates | acpi | 14:25 |
| AncientSocrates | conflicts with acpi smrg | 14:25 |
| AncientSocrates | it says | 14:25 |
| AncientSocrates | but it loads ok | 14:26 |
| AncientSocrates | i can log in to the systme | 14:26 |
| knome | then no problem). | 14:26 |
| AncientSocrates | this message is before you see the [OK]s during boot | 14:26 |
| AncientSocrates | should i reinstall xubuntu? | 14:26 |
| knome | no, if it works | 14:27 |

| sodium | hello | 14:52 |
| Pres-Gas | Good morning? | 14:59 |
| sodium | good morning for u good nite for me | 15:01 |
| sodium | lol | 15:01 |
| Pres-Gas | Yeah, note the question mark | 15:01 |
| sodium | i have question how can i mount ext3 drive | 15:02 |
| Pres-Gas | Perhaps my traditional "Good morrow" is more neutral | 15:02 |
| sodium | ;-) | 15:02 |
| Pres-Gas | sodium, in what os? | 15:02 |
| sodium | xubuntu 8.10 | 15:02 |
| Pres-Gas | Is the drive external, usb, internal....give us details, sodium? | 15:03 |
| sodium | yes usb dirve works fine | 15:04 |
| sodium | but i cant see my all partitions in os | 15:04 |
| Pres-Gas | ...and it is not getting automounted then. | 15:04 |
| Pres-Gas | Ahhh...so some of the partitions show up? | 15:05 |
| sodium | noooooooo | 15:05 |
| sodium | :(( | 15:05 |
| sodium | i have 6 partitions but only sda6(xubuntu)is there | 15:05 |
| Pres-Gas | so, sodium, do the partitions internal show up or are some of them missing as well? | 15:06 |
| sodium | no | 15:08 |
| sodium | plzz tell me how to mount all my disk drives | 15:08 |
| sodium | :(( i wanna them | 15:08 |
| Pres-Gas | I think checking out the logs may help you out on this. You may have a problem that is preventing them mounting. | 15:09 |
| sodium | where are the logs :P | 15:09 |
| Pres-Gas | Navigate to /var/log/ and look at the files called messages and messages.0, syslog and syslog.0 and see if they mention your drives at all. | 15:10 |
| Pres-Gas | Why don't you also give us the output of "mount | grep /dev". | 15:11 |
| Pres-Gas | ...that is from a terminal, sodium. Sorry if that was not clear | 15:12 |
| sodium | thanks dear i mount it | 15:14 |
| Pres-Gas | Now, let's not get personal. Calling me dear... ;) | 15:16 |
| Pres-Gas | So, wait, sodium, you are now able to mount your partitions? | 15:16 |
| sodium | o | 15:23 |
| sodium | no | 15:23 |
| sodium | i can't mount becas i don't know how to mount | 15:23 |
| Pres-Gas | hmmmm...lessee what ubottu knows about mounting... | 15:24 |
| Pres-Gas | !mount | 15:24 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 15:24 |
| sodium | brb | 15:25 |
| Pres-Gas | sodium, read over that link as well as looking over your logs....were you ever able to see these partitions? I have been approaching this as if you were once able to see them. | 15:25 |
| lab | hi. which is the best way to install ATI driver for ubuntu 9.04 ? I followed these instructions and they were a disaster: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI . any suggestion? thanks | 16:20 |

| Pres-Gas | I would not use the tan-com article, people...changing all the repos and THEN pinning? Seems a bit ham fisted to me | 16:34 |
