[11:26] <knome> AnAnt, MadsRH did
[11:27] <AnAnt> Mads Rosendahl
[11:27] <AnAnt> thanks !
[11:27] <knome> yup, that's him.
[15:07] <oorah> hey yall
[15:08] <Balsaq> welcome to the land of zoo bun two
[15:08] <oorah> I'm using the Lucid alpha right now
[15:08] <oorah> its zoo boon too lol
[15:08] <Balsaq> oh yes..forgot
[15:09] <oorah> but its ok to say things different i guess
[15:09] <oorah> i call gnome gnome, not guh-nome
[15:09] <Balsaq> sounds much better...like it came from deep in the rainforest
[15:09] <oorah> it does
[15:10] <TheSheep> rainforests are for the weak
[15:12] <Balsaq> oorah how do you like alpha
[15:14] <oorah> Balsaq, its pretty stable, no major problems
[15:14] <oorah> Balsaq, i like it better than karmic, it was a nightmare on my netbook lol
[15:14] <Balsaq> i didn't realize it was available yet
[15:15] <oorah> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks just scroll down to msi u100 its nuts
[15:16] <Balsaq> cool, i put in favorites, i'll burn one later
[15:16] <Sysi> for me they said that current alpha is almost same as karmic
[15:16] <TheSheep> the kernel is new
[15:16] <Balsaq> i burn em and put them in cd sleeves that i make
[15:16] <Balsaq> and give em away free
[15:19] <oorah> same theme and wallpaper yes
[15:20] <oorah> there's somethin weird i notice when i'm logged into pidgin or thunderbird that when i get a new email or instant message or friend comes online or offline
[15:21] <oorah> but nothing problematic
[15:22] <oorah> Balsaq, your nickname might offend some people
[15:23] <Balsaq> it is possible but i  tell them the q is silent
[15:23] <oorah> Balsaq, oh i see funny haha
[15:23] <Balsaq> some have a vivid imagination
[15:23] <oorah> Balsaq, are there a lot of people that want the cd's?
[15:24] <Balsaq> well in my area most don't even know what it is, i do it to help the cause  since my tech skill are still.....underway
[15:24] <oorah> me too haha
[15:24] <Balsaq> it is all i can do at this point to help out
[15:25] <oorah> i've been using Linux for years, but all i know is what i need to know. if i need to learn more i will but my knowledge so far suits everything i need it for
[15:25] <oorah> i don't know the full list of commands and directories and all that
[15:25] <Balsaq> so far 3 peole at work have told me their windows computers were running extremely slow, 2 were really messed up with virus, so i wiped em clean and installed buntu, they love it
[15:25] <Balsaq> they had windows
[15:26] <oorah> one of my favorite things about Linux and BSD distros is the updates. every app and the system at the same time instead of one app at a time
[15:27] <oorah> remember with windows when ya had to update stuff one app at a time? it took an evening lol
[15:32] <Balsaque> someone whacked me?
[15:32] <Balsaque> yet my name is still up there?
[15:33] <Balsaque> anyone know what just happened?
[15:45] <phxheat> I wanted to put xubuntu on a old 533mhz machine that has CD disks not DVD. CD are 650MB but the .iso is 664MB so its too big to burn on a disc. Any ideas
[15:49] <TheSheep> phxheat: a cd has 700MB
[15:49] <TheSheep> phxheat: just allow overburning in your cd burning program
[15:53] <phxheat> TheSheep your right 700MB, but when I read the size its less than that maybe 630, i feel cheated. Ill try other discs i think one will show up as 700. Ill try the overburn. thank you
[21:40] <Stylee> hello, I installed xubuntu on an old celeron 600 Mhz box... and when I rebooted it says
[21:41] <Stylee> the initrd is too big
[21:41] <Stylee> when I try to load the kernel I mean
[21:41] <Sysi> how much RAM?
[21:42] <Stylee> 400 and something Mb
[21:42] <Stylee> is too little?
[21:43] <Sysi> i don't think it shouldn't
[21:43] <Sysi> *should be too little
[21:44] <Stylee> well those are 3 different modules, can this make problems?
[21:45] <Sysi> i'm not good with hardware but that machine sound's old for xubuntu
[21:46] <Sysi> crunchbang or lubuntu might be better
[21:46] <Stylee> well previously was win xp on it, isn't it greedier than xubuntu?
[21:58] <Stylee> well it runs from light CD well, so it should run even better from hdd I guess
[21:58] <Stylee> besides, here they say it should http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=459872
[23:12] <Stylee> so can anybody help me?
[23:15] <knome> Stylee, ?
[23:17] <Stylee> when I try to boot the kernel it says initrd is too big
[23:17] <Stylee> how to fix it?
[23:18] <Stylee> from live CD it works ok
[23:18] <knome> which xubuntu version? is it normal hardware?
[23:18] <Stylee> 9.10
[23:18] <Stylee> normal as in?
[23:18] <knome> well, not anything weird
[23:18] <Stylee> no all normal
[23:19] <knome> okay. i suppose you are trying to use the regular/default kernel?
[23:19] <Stylee> it was a box used in administration office
[23:19] <Stylee> yes
[23:19] <Stylee> I use the kernel bundled in the live CD
[23:19] <Stylee> should I change it?
[23:19] <knome> no, i don't think so
[23:19] <Stylee> configure it myself?
[23:20] <Stylee> hmm
[23:21] <Stylee> I would try with 9.4 but the installation take as much as gentoo installation on my regular box :)
[23:21] <Stylee> so long :)
[23:22] <Stylee> if possible I would like to fix this installation
[23:22] <knome> Stylee, what does 'ls /boot/initrd* -l -h' say?
[23:22] <knome> Stylee, (in terminal)
[23:23] <Stylee> wait I should boot from live CD
[23:23] <knome> uhm
[23:24] <knome> can you log in with *any* kernel?
[23:24] <knome> withtout the cd
[23:24] <Stylee> well there is just the kernel from live CD, I did a fresh install
[23:25] <Stylee> before was win XP on that box
[23:25] <knome> so you did a fresh install but initrd is too big?
[23:25] <Stylee> so it says
[23:25] <Stylee> I even tried a reinstall, with same result
[23:26] <knome> Stylee, have you read this: http://unintention.com/?id=68 ?
[23:26] <knome> Stylee, i don't know if that would help but..
[23:26] <Stylee> I will try to read it now
[23:28] <Stylee> will try this hope it helps
[23:29] <knome> okay :)
[23:31] <balvonas> xubuntu 64bit is awesome
[23:32] <knome> balvonas, great to hear you like it
[23:32] <balvonas> damn stable
[23:32] <balvonas> ;]
[23:32] <balvonas> even on my crapy Acer
[23:32] <knome> heh
[23:32] <knome> it is pretty solid
[23:33] <Stylee> knome: it booted, thanks :) I was looking on google but with xubuntu keyword
[23:33] <knome> Stylee, yeah, np. have fun and merry christmas :)
[23:34] <Stylee> thanks, you too
[23:34] <knome> will do :)
[23:44] <Stylee> seems nice, hope my sister will get used to it quickly
[23:52] <knome> Stylee, i'm sure she will. it's really easy to use.
[23:56] <Stylee> well she is not really a tech type, and she is used to windows
[23:57] <Stylee> though this machine is really slow
[23:57] <knome> if she is open to learn a bit new and learn to some new habits, she will be allright.
