| ahaque89 | 7.10 | 02:09 |
| linuxman410 | is it a atom processor | 02:11 |
| ahaque89 | er I don't think so | 02:11 |
| linuxman410 | or do you have 900mhz eeepc | 02:11 |
| ahaque89 | older | 02:12 |
| linuxman410 | since 7.10 is not supported any more i would recommend easy peasy | 02:12 |
| ahaque89 | 571mhz or something | 02:12 |
| ahaque89 | hrm | 02:12 |

| ahaque89 | I guess I can find a way to compress and send so that's nto a major issue | 02:14 |
| linuxman410 | i would copy them to a usb flash drive then move them back | 02:14 |

| vanagonman | hi I'm having trouble getting my xubuntu to connect with my broadcom wireless card | 03:59 |
| BigMoopies | Is there something compatable with "Microsoft Remote Assistance" ? | 05:54 |
| pdg1 | can anyone point me to a good tutorial for installing lighttpd? I'm trying to setup a webui for rtorrent | 06:00 |
| MrNaz_yma | if i want to allow users to mount remote samba shares, how would i do that? only root can use mount, and when i try to do it from most user accounts i get "this user is not in the sudoers file" error | 06:18 |
| MrNaz_yma | i dont want to have to manually add each user to the sudoers file | 06:20 |
| Sysi | you shouldn't give sudo-rights to everybody | 06:21 |
| MrNaz_yma | well i dont want to | 06:26 |
| MrNaz_yma | i want to give mount capability to everybody | 06:26 |
| MrNaz_yma | coz everybody needs to be able to access the NAS | 06:26 |
| MrNaz_yma | which serves up CIFS shares... so if theres a better way to give everyone access to it, i'm all ears | 06:26 |
| MrNaz_yma | MrNaz listen up :P | 06:27 |
| MrNaz_yma | Sysi do you have any suggestions ? | 06:31 |
| Sysi | i don't have any experience with samba | 06:31 |
| pdg1 | MrNaz, i think i know | 06:42 |
| MrNaz_yma | its not samba related... all i need to do is give non-admin users the ability to use mount | 06:43 |
| MrNaz_yma | pdg1 ? | 06:44 |
| pdg1 | why? i think all you want to do is bind a samba share to a specific folder | 06:44 |
| pdg1 | because you can do that without giving users sudo rights... | 06:45 |
| MrNaz_yma | how ? | 06:46 |
| pdg1 | I can't quite remember exactly because i haven't had to do it | 06:47 |
| pdg1 | I will shortly because i just ordered a 1TB drive for a comp i'm turning into a NAS | 06:47 |
| pdg1 | I do know that the process is called binding | 06:47 |
| pdg1 | and you want to bind a samba share to a mount point | 06:47 |
| pdg1 | so you can have something like /media/NAS/(whatever folders you have) | 06:48 |
| pdg1 | look at the man page for mount and fstab | 06:49 |
| pdg1 | I apologize for not having more help, but I have to get out of here before my friend kicks my ass | 06:49 |
| pdg1 | rock on MrNaz_yma | 06:50 |
| MrNaz_yma | aah | 06:54 |
| MrNaz_yma | i'll google with bind instead of mount as a search term | 06:54 |
| MrNaz_yma | that's good enough... thanks mate :) | 06:54 |
| TheSheep | anybody knows how to configure notify-osd? | 10:21 |
| TheSheep | in particular, how do I move it to the bottom right corner | 10:21 |
| BeepBeep | Any suggestions for a gud bittorrent prog other than the default? | 11:15 |
| Sysi | BeepBeep: you can try, deluge or ktorrent or something | 11:18 |
| Sysi | i like default, transmission | 11:19 |
| BeepBeep | thanks | 11:23 |

| jointman | Hello. How do I become a programmer? | 15:08 |
| Ov3rf10w | jointman: | 15:10 |
| Sysi | pick a language and start studying it | 15:10 |
| jointman | I do not understand Ov3rf10w. | 15:10 |
| Ov3rf10w | yes | 15:10 |
| Ov3rf10w | and get some ebooks for this language | 15:11 |
| jointman | ok, sounds good to me | 15:11 |
| Ov3rf10w | :) | 15:11 |
| gudmund | Typically C++ or phyton | 15:11 |
| Ov3rf10w | python is easier for start | 15:12 |
| gudmund | but with Gambas 2 you can use a Virtual Basic-like languagt ;) | 15:12 |
| gudmund | Basic is a easy programming language | 15:12 |
| Sysi | php is useful and shouldn't be very hard | 15:13 |
| Ov3rf10w | you can learn assembly | 15:13 |
| Ov3rf10w | it's low level language | 15:13 |
| knome | low level doesn't mean it's easy :P | 15:13 |
| Ov3rf10w | knome: asm is not hard to learn | 15:14 |
| Ov3rf10w | for me | 15:14 |
| Ov3rf10w | .. | 15:14 |
| jointman | since we're in the subject of languages, are alice and python good for beginners? | 15:14 |
| gudmund | yea, php is fun and relevant if you want to make functional and useful websites | 15:14 |
| knome | jointman, python would be okay. it's very popular | 15:14 |
| jointman | python it is, thanks for the input guys :X | 15:15 |
| gudmund | :) | 15:17 |
| TheSheep | anybody happen to know where the new great ubuntu invention, notify-oss, reads its configuration from? | 15:25 |
| TheSheep | the project is almost completely undocumented | 15:25 |
| knome | TheSheep, SiDi might know. | 15:25 |

| Ffunk74 | I have a little problem (all work fine for some months): When I login via gdm X server reboots, it takes 2-3 times to login without rebooting. I use Xubuntu 9.10, nVidia 7600 card with proprietary driver. Here is my Xorg.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/356619/ | 15:42 |
| Sysi | i'd get minimal xubuntu if i revove entire xubuntu-desktop and then install X, gdm and xfce, right? | 18:24 |
| Sysi | *remove | 18:24 |
| likemindead | Worth a shot. | 18:25 |
| likemindead | Ever looked into CrunchBang, Sysi? If you're wanting a more minimal Ubuntu, that's the way to go. :D | 19:07 |
| Sysi | well, i have over 1GB of memory, but i still want lighter | 19:23 |
| knome | Sysi, you don't even need gdm :P | 19:31 |
| Sysi | hmm, i could get kdm and try xdmcp | 19:35 |
| Sysi | it's propably mostly useless, this intel works so badly :/ | 19:36 |
| Sysi | started freezing after i tried copositing | 19:36 |
| knome | who uses compisiting anyway? | 19:37 |
| * TheSheep rises a hand | 19:38 | |
| Sysi | o/ | 19:38 |
| * knome tickles TheSheep from the armpit | 19:38 | |
| knome | i don't use compositing. | 19:39 |
| * TheSheep bites knome's head off | 19:39 | |
| knome | TheSheep, you can't. my nose is too big. | 19:39 |
| TheSheep | knome: right, you don't use it, so lets remove it from xubuntu ;) | 19:39 |
| Sysi | i use xfce because of easy eyecandy, at least partly | 19:39 |
| knome | TheSheep, i didn't mean that :P | 19:39 |
| knome | the point was that if you have a low-end pc, why would it matter if you didn't get compositing? | 19:40 |
| TheSheep | right now I just want to track down and hurt the author of notify-osd | 19:40 |
| knome | it's not really bringing in any more usability | 19:40 |
| Sysi | i thought that TheSheep said that your head is useless.. | 19:40 |
| knome | Sysi, lol | 19:40 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: I'm sure it has many uses | 19:40 |
| Sysi | this isn't actyallu low end | 19:40 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: as balast, for example | 19:40 |
| TheSheep | Sysi: or an anchor | 19:40 |
| knome | Sysi, well, i was not only talking about your pc | 19:40 |
| Sysi | yeah | 19:40 |
| TheSheep | you could also put a funny hat on it | 19:41 |
| knome | np: Kraftwerk / Radioactivity | 19:42 |
| Sysi | np: Britney Spears - Crazy | 19:42 |
| knome | EWW | 19:42 |
| Sysi | sometimes fun to listen | 19:43 |
| * Pres-Gas scrolls up to see what is up with compositing and the biting off of heads | 19:49 | |
| Sysi | knome: try to understand, i have fever | 19:50 |
| Pres-Gas | Any artist that needs to use Auto-Tune to excess is not worth listening to | 19:52 |
| Sysi | only finish people understand the horror when i say that i also have gimmel on my hd | 19:52 |
| Sysi | *finnish | 19:53 |
| knome | Sysi, :) | 19:53 |
| Pres-Gas | TheSheep, did you see this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD | 19:54 |
| TheSheep | Pres-Gas: yes, any and all google searches point to taht useless page | 19:57 |
| Pres-Gas | TheSheep, I gave it me best shot. | 19:58 |
| TheSheep | Pres-Gas: I don't care about how canonical wants the notifications to look, I want to know how I can modify that | 19:58 |
| TheSheep | Pres-Gas: thanks, sorry | 19:58 |
| Sysi | hopefully i got rid of that with minimal install | 19:58 |
| charlie-tca | TheSheep: I have tried that with notify-osd; the only one that admits to anything to do with it is mpt, as a good design thing | 20:02 |
| charlie-tca | but, ... he is not the developer, just the designer | 20:02 |
| knome | TheSheep, SiDi knows that. he's fiddled around with it. | 20:03 |
| charlie-tca | you can NOT modify the notices very easily | 20:05 |
| knome | no, not without building from source again | 20:05 |
| knome | or with steve's patch | 20:05 |
| TheSheep | charlie-tca: I'd be happy to just modify the corner in which it appears | 20:09 |
| TheSheep | the ubuntu default is silly | 20:10 |
| TheSheep | and distracting | 20:10 |
| charlie-tca | That got built in by design | 20:10 |
| TheSheep | no, I did it on one of my computers | 20:11 |
| charlie-tca | I got into a lot of discussions about it all, still can't change colors for those who need to (Accessibility) | 20:11 |
| Pres-Gas | Ewwwww, notify-osd uses gconf schemas? | 20:11 |
| knome | TheSheep, charlie-tca: i'm making steve write a tutorial for it, if possibly, tonight | 20:11 |
| TheSheep | it appears in the bottom right corner now | 20:11 |
| charlie-tca | Will that let me change colors, knome | 20:12 |
| charlie-tca | ? | 20:12 |
| knome | charlie-tca, well yes, by changing the source. | 20:12 |
| Pres-Gas | TheSheep, you are wanting to change position of notify-osd? | 20:12 |
| charlie-tca | I see. Of course, I don't do source myself | 20:12 |
| knome | charlie-tca, it's not end-user tutorial, since steve plans on reviewing his patch on february and package more easily configurable version in PPA | 20:13 |
| knome | charlie-tca, you're gonna cope with it. :) you don't have to know how to code. | 20:13 |
| charlie-tca | been coping with it since they stupid designed it | 20:14 |
| knome | lol | 20:14 |
| knome | i can find out how to use ppa's and package you one with better colors, if i have time | 20:14 |
| TheSheep | Pres-Gas: yes | 20:15 |
| Pres-Gas | https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/notify-osd/+question/80515 | 20:15 |
| Pres-Gas | TheSheep, look at tuwe's post in 2009-10-12 | 20:16 |
| Pres-Gas | s/in/on | 20:16 |
| TheSheep | I don't have such gconf key | 20:16 |
| TheSheep | I looked in gconf, it was the second thing I did | 20:17 |
| charlie-tca | It should be in Ubuntu, not Xubuntu | 20:17 |
| Pres-Gas | So, if you do the command it complains? | 20:18 |
| Pres-Gas | ...w/o a schema? | 20:18 |
| charlie-tca | I think ignores... | 20:18 |
| Pres-Gas | ahhh...so just give you the prompt again....but didn't really do the job | 20:20 |
| charlie-tca | Is there any way to recover the hard drive after ext4 screws it up ? | 20:20 |
| TheSheep | charlie-tca: what do you mean? | 20:23 |
| TheSheep | charlie-tca: you want to convert to ext3? | 20:23 |
| charlie-tca | I now have 3 hard drives killed by it; it did something wrong, and now the hard drive is full of sector can't be read errors | 20:23 |
| charlie-tca | Makes the drive useless | 20:23 |
| Sysi | ssd? | 20:23 |
| charlie-tca | hard disk drive | 20:24 |
| charlie-tca | pata | 20:24 |
| knome | TheSheep, charlie-tca, Pres-Gas: http://mupuf.org/blog/article/22/ | 21:01 |
| TheSheep | knome: thanks | 21:07 |
| TheSheep | knome: brilliant! it only has EAST and NORTH_EAST gravity | 21:09 |
| * TheSheep whines some more | 21:10 | |
| charlie-tca | me too. I don't understand the coding | 21:11 |
| TheSheep | hex rgb values? | 21:12 |
| TheSheep | charlie-tca: gimp gives you these in its color picker | 21:13 |
