[02:40] <jeremy1080> hey any one here
[02:58] <Scopic> There is something wrong with the mouse on my system ever since I updated to the new kernel. it is super slow, dragging across the screen, and moving the mouse acceleration/speed slider in settings has no effect positive or negative
[04:23] <ubuntu> hi
[04:24] <ubuntu> im looking for some help installing xubuntu
[04:24] <ubuntu> i need some guide on how to set the partitions
[04:24] <ubuntu> anybody_
[04:24] <ubuntu> ?
[06:52] <acmeinc> Anyone around?
[08:23] <schizoTK> Hello xubuntu gurus!
[08:28] <schizoTK> Goodbye
[09:44] <nikolam> OMG
[09:45] <nikolam> why there is no .jigdo files for Desktop .iso
[09:48] <nikolam> so i need to download it again, even if I already have DVDs and alternate isos to build desktop cds from
[14:05] <imagitronics> How can I configure a Live USB to read my home directory from another partition on the USB drive?
[14:05] <imagitronics> I can not seem to find any decent information about it
[14:10] <TheSheep> !fstab | imagitronics
[14:11] <imagitronics> so, then I need to decompress my ISO... setup a chroot filesystem and modify my fstab?
[14:11] <imagitronics> seemed like there has to be a different way... people use these prebuilt CDs all the time...
[14:13] <TheSheep> you can mount it manually after the system is up
[14:14] <imagitronics> for my home folder though?
[14:14] <imagitronics> I would have to run a script before login
[14:14] <imagitronics> and can I mount based off a label?
[14:14] <TheSheep> yes
[14:14] <TheSheep> label or uuid
[14:14] <imagitronics> I'm reading it
[14:15] <imagitronics> where would I do that, where it would occur before my user logs in?
[14:15] <TheSheep> I guess you will need to add that script to your image anyways
[14:15] <TheSheep> so you can as well just modify fstab
[14:15] <imagitronics> but I could add a script to my image easily
[14:16] <imagitronics> I'm using remastersys
[14:16] <imagitronics> and it won't pay attention to my /etc/fstab
[14:16] <imagitronics> or the one in it's own dummysys folder
[14:16] <TheSheep> !rc.local
[14:16] <TheSheep> hmm...
[14:17] <TheSheep> !boot | imagitronics
[14:17] <imagitronics> rc.local run as root?
[14:17] <TheSheep> yes
[14:18] <imagitronics> okay, that gives me something to try...
[14:18] <imagitronics> but... if I did decompress this iso, and turn it into a chroot environment... would it be safe to edit the fstab then?
[14:18] <TheSheep> there should be by-label and by-uuid directories in /dev
[14:18] <imagitronics> I figure there must be some reason why remastersys ignores it
[14:18] <TheSheep> imagitronics: I don't know
[14:18] <imagitronics> we'll try rc.local first
[14:18] <imagitronics> thanks for the tip
[15:43] <imagitronics> meh
[15:44] <imagitronics> well that was a lot of work for nothing...
[15:44] <imagitronics> I unpacked my custom ISO... setup a chroot environment
[15:44] <imagitronics> modified the /etc/fstab... then repacked everything into an iso
[15:44] <imagitronics> and still, no entry in the /etc/fstab. remastersys is writing over it somewhere
[15:45] <imagitronics> there's a script or something that's running...
[16:08] <Bitbuck> whats the best way to install if I have a version of another linux on my partition?
[16:22] <MaxFrames> hello
[16:23] <Bitbuck> loads of people Max, but no answer to my question, good luck.
[16:24] <Bitbuck> I will say hi back, because I doubt anyone else is alive.
[16:24] <Bitbuck> =)
[16:24] <MaxFrames> ?
[16:24] <MaxFrames> it happens
[16:26] <MaxFrames> I was just about to ask something about cloning a hard drive with dd
[16:27] <MaxFrames> while we're here: Bitbuck, are you using Xubuntu Karmic?
[16:29] <Bitbuck> dd if=/dev/src of=/dev/target
[16:29] <MaxFrames> does this produce an exact bit-per-bit raw copy of src on target?
[16:29] <Bitbuck> Max, where src is the source hd, and target is the destination
[16:30] <Bitbuck> aye
[16:30] <MaxFrames> with all the partitions, regardless of what type they are (primary, extended, logical units, volumes, eisa partitions...)
[16:30] <MaxFrames> ?
[16:30] <Bitbuck> aye
[16:30] <Bitbuck> and yes Max I just installed X 9.10
[16:31] <MaxFrames> so after I have cloned src, I can remove it, install target, and the system will not notice the swap?
[16:31] <Bitbuck> it might notice the device change
[16:31] <MaxFrames> I guess that if src is the OS drive I'll have to boot the PC from a live CD and run dd from there?
[16:31] <Bitbuck> ie: disk id#
[16:32] <MaxFrames> I have to convert a windows 2003 server disk from basic to dynamic, but I want to have a clone of it in case something goes wrong, because it contains an eisa partition
[16:34] <MaxFrames> anyway... can you confirm if your screensaver is kicking in after the set amount of idle time? in my case, it doesn't work anymore after upgrading to 9.10 from 9.04, and the power saving settings are ineffective too
[16:34] <MaxFrames> if you have xubuntu karmic you could just set the screensaver to 1 min and then wait
[16:35] <emerson> in which file are all the man pages I want to print all of them ...
[16:36] <emerson> ?
[16:39] <cody-somerville> emerson, they live under /usr/share/man/
[16:39] <genii> emerson: They are all in separate files, one for each command or topic which has a manual
[18:08] <gnawjoy> sorry for the basic question, but how do I use X over ssh from one xubuntu machine to another? When I do xfce4-session on the remote machine, I get the local session
[18:08] <Sysi> ssh -X
[18:09] <Sysi> hmm, what would ubottu say
[18:09] <Sysi> !ssh
[18:11] <gnawjoy> I'm sorry, I wasn't clear, after connecting via ssh -X from one xubuntu to another I enter xfce4-session to start a remote session but it doesn't work, I remain on the local x session
[18:13] <genii> xterm xappname &
[18:19] <gnawjoy> but I dont believe xterm xappname & will work with xfce4-session. I'd like to have a complete session on the remote xubuntu machine from the local xubuntu
[18:21] <cody-somerville> gnawjoy, You'll need to use something like vnc for that.
[18:21] <Sysi> xdmcp WAS easiest untill karmic
[18:21] <Sysi> now only with kdm
[18:21] <cody-somerville> Sysi, indeed
[18:22] <Sysi> and kdm/kde don't work (well) on my old laptop
[18:22] <Sysi> can't guess why, default xubuntu was witouh problems
[18:23] <knome> Sysi, because it starts with k?
[18:23]  * knome hides
[18:23] <gnawjoy> interesting, I have no problem doing this from gnome ubuntu to xubuntu, I was just assuming it was some conflict in between the local and remote display managers...which I cannot figure how to overcome
[18:23] <Sysi> no, that's my personal problem :P
[18:24] <gnawjoy> there's this gdmflexiserver -xnest which seems to be what I want, but it doesn't work either
