[01:01] i also added ide-disk to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and ran sudo update-initramfs -u [01:02] i also added append="quiet splash video=radeonfb:1024x768" to /etc/yaboot.conf and ran sudo ybin -v [01:03] these were fixes in the faq [01:04] and after each one, i tried to reboot, but had to hold down that key combo [01:04] i read about that combo here http://www.yellowjug.com/how-to/xubuntu-linux-on-imac-g3/ [01:04] but i don't know what to do to fix my xorg.conf problem [01:18] thanks anyhow [01:49] <_Techie_> wow, arent we dead today [01:49] <_Techie_> ECHO echo echo echo [02:28] 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.

[10:06] boscop, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=215627 << see the post of Noxide, maybe that works [10:06] thanks [11:10] hi. I have installed xubuntu 9.04 on a AMD Sempron, All seems ok, but the screen resolution is unfortunately set to 640x480 and I can't change it. In addition: xorg.conf is empty. what should I do ? === denmark is now known as sodium [11:17] hello [11:17] hello [11:17] :) [11:17] whats is fstab [11:18] i am mounting my ntfs drives but i shows me warnings [11:18] :( [11:18] sodium, fstab (/etc/fstab) is a file that contains what to do with internal/external media, where to mount drives etc [11:18] !fstab [11:18] 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 [11:19] ok but how can i mountt drives [11:19] my disk mounter only mounts my flash drive [11:20] !diskmount [11:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about diskmount [11:20] !mount [11:20] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [11:23] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [11:23] :(( [11:24] lulz done [11:24] :)) [11:33] hi [11:33] is xubuntu faster than freebsd? [11:35] <_Pete_> doing what? [11:36] simple things [11:36] using the file manager [11:36] surfing the net [11:36] using multimedia [11:37] <_Pete_> maybe these can give you some hints: http://www.google.fi/search?q=linux+vs+freebsd+benchmark [11:38] <_Pete_> But doing those,I doubt if there is any difference it's small [11:39] <_Pete_> http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=pcbsd_vs_kubuntu&num=1 [11:43] ok [11:43] pete [11:44] a lot of people prefer debian [11:44] over *ubuntu [11:44] why? [11:44] <_Pete_> it said to be more stable [11:45] AncientSocrates, a lot software available, a lot of users > good community support [11:45] for both ubuntu and debian [11:45] _Pete_ : by more stable you mean they use older software [11:45] debian works on every thinkable cpu/hardware platform imaginable [11:45] thant ubuntu [11:45] I prefer saying stable. [11:46] ubuntu both have LTS (Like Debian releases) and newer stable releases [11:46] i am now usin xubuntu beta [11:46] it depends what you need [11:46] i think they update and fix any bugs very fast [11:46] beta is for testing etc [11:47] but you can use it and upgrade to released version in fly [11:47] when it is released [11:47] I always suggest to new users, latest stable release [11:48] i used fedora in the pat [11:48] past [11:48] the beta [11:48] i had some problems [11:48] but not much [11:49] AncientSocrates, what are your needs, what is that you need, will reflect what you should use [11:49] I started with xubuntu on olda P3 machine 2 years ago. And I fall in love with Xfce and now running Xubuntu 64-bit [11:50] also, after chaising multiple stable releases and upgrading, [11:50] cool [11:50] i settled on latest LTS [11:50] And I am waiting next LTS. [11:51] And I install newest progrmas on LTS [11:51] actually i have an old pc [11:51] that i use rarely to store data [11:51] but I say again, for new user, latest stable is what i recommend, since you can post bug reports then [11:52] oh, what is conf. you are yusing now and what is conf of that old pc? [11:52] 48 giga hdd, nvidia 5200fx gpu, 512 sd ram, 2,3 ghz 1 core cpu [11:52] that is nice machine [11:53] seems that xubuntu flies on that [11:53] yes i use it rarely [11:53] to store stuff to my second hdd [11:53] or multimedia [11:53] or anyway something simple [11:54] ok, I got to go to do some stuff, tak care! [11:54] and i want it to run fast] [11:54] use debian & icewm as window manager and stay cool [11:54] someone from ##linux told me to use that on it [11:54] would it be faster? [11:54] AncientSocrates, also try lxde, it IS fast [11:54] and low-memory footprint [11:55] but with machine you have, all desktop env. will work just great [11:55] is lxde lighter than xfce? [11:55] it is just my thinking that i like Xfce the best and also I can use Gnome applets for panels in it :) [11:56] yes, lxde is like, for very small memory machines [11:56] ok thanks for the info [11:56] I think there is even new ubuntu spin-off with lxde [11:56] ok, buy [12:26] hi [12:26] i use xubuntu 9.10 beta [12:26] when i open a window [12:26] lets say my home folder [12:26] the window is stuck in the upper left corner [12:27] i cant move it and there is no X button [12:27] is this normal? [12:28] or a bug [12:32] AncientSocrates, no windowmanager, press alt+f2 and type xfwm4 [12:38] ok it worked [12:38] where can i find and mount my secondary ntfs hdd? [12:40] AncientSocrates, run sudo fdisk -l [12:42] 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) [13:11] so every time [13:12] i have to load xfwm4? [13:12] ehm no you should not have to [13:13] if you do, something is wrong with your session.. [13:23] <_Pete_> excellent, https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty [14:16] ok [14:16] done [14:16] i have another problem with xubuntu 9.10\ [14:16] when it boots up [14:16] it says [14:16] acpi resource error [14:16] conflicts with acpi rprg [14:16] something like that [14:19] any idea? [14:25] AncientSocrates, xubuntu 9.10 is still under development, please file a bug [14:25] acpi [14:25] conflicts with acpi smrg [14:25] it says [14:26] but it loads ok [14:26] i can log in to the systme [14:26] then no problem). [14:26] this message is before you see the [OK]s during boot [14:26] should i reinstall xubuntu? [14:27] no, if it works [14:44] hi, where can I find instruction for upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 ? [14:44] thanks [14:45] !upgrade | lab [14:45] lab: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [14:51] y0 [14:52] hello [14:59] Good morning? [15:01] good morning for u good nite for me [15:01] lol [15:01] Yeah, note the question mark [15:02] i have question how can i mount ext3 drive [15:02] Perhaps my traditional "Good morrow" is more neutral [15:02] ;-) [15:02] sodium, in what os? [15:02] xubuntu 8.10 [15:03] Is the drive external, usb, internal....give us details, sodium? [15:04] yes usb dirve works fine [15:04] but i cant see my all partitions in os [15:04] ...and it is not getting automounted then. [15:05] Ahhh...so some of the partitions show up? [15:05] noooooooo [15:05] :(( [15:05] i have 6 partitions but only sda6(xubuntu)is there [15:06] so, sodium, do the partitions internal show up or are some of them missing as well? [15:08] no [15:08] plzz tell me how to mount all my disk drives [15:08] :(( i wanna them [15:09] I think checking out the logs may help you out on this. You may have a problem that is preventing them mounting. [15:09] where are the logs :P [15:10] 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. [15:11] Why don't you also give us the output of "mount | grep /dev". [15:12] ...that is from a terminal, sodium. Sorry if that was not clear [15:14] thanks dear i mount it [15:16] Now, let's not get personal. Calling me dear... ;) [15:16] So, wait, sodium, you are now able to mount your partitions? [15:23] o [15:23] no [15:23] i can't mount becas i don't know how to mount [15:24] hmmmm...lessee what ubottu knows about mounting... [15:24] !mount [15:24] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [15:25] brb [15:25] 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. [16:20] hi. which is the best way to install ATI driver for ubuntu 9.04 ?

Seems a bit ham fisted to me [16:36] Selling the ATI card and buying an NVIDIA one is the best option... === root is now known as Guest89141 [18:22] !LoCo [18:22] Information on Ubuntu Local Community Teams is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams [18:32] hi everyone [18:34] !hi | andreavicari [18:34] andreavicari: Hi!
